82. Inner Pride [Part-4]
Screen opens to an old temple inside the Dark Forest. Thanatos is standing there and looks like he was waiting for Ethan who comes running out of the forest as the storm continues to rage on. They lock eyes both looked as though there drained.
[Temple Description- The area around the place leads to a cliff edge. All the ancient building are caved in. The place is abandon as water runs down the ruins. However there a small satellite dish along with some camp equipment set up].
Thanatos- I must say I'm impressed boy. But you wont kill me so easy. I need to return to the king and report what I've found about you and the Hell Hounds.
Ethan- Found? What do you mean by that?
Thanatos- Stop lying to me. I sense you've made a deal with those Alpha Hell Hounds for power. Your Aura reeks of there influence. Lay down your arms and I can save your soul from damnation.
Ethan- My soul is just fine. As for you here's a counter offer leave Muddy Creek and never return. And I'll forgive you for threating my friends and family.
Thanatos- Ha Sorry but that wont happen we both know that. Also you are a fool to think those Monsters would give there lives for you. But I guess talking to you is hopeless now. So prepare to die.
Thanatos activates his sword. As he does Kalen appears next to Ethan in his spirit form.
Kalen [Thoughts]- Ethan you can use your Warlock Armor the Magic Barrier he had up is gone.
Ethan [Thoughts]- Ha. Thanks old man.
Kalen [Thoughts]- Be careful descendent. I sense there are more Holly Knights around here. So you must use everything you have learned from me. To survive.
Ethan [Thoughts]- Don't worry I'll end this quick.
Ethan clicks his power band and summons his armor with his cage helmet on while holding the Moon Sword Winnie gave him.
Ethan- Ancient Power Warlock!
Ethan puts his moon sword on his belt. Then he pulls out his Warlock Sword and activates his blade that burns Red. With his left hand while his right hand grips Infront of him as Lightning forms in the hand. Both Thanatos and Ethan sword burns as rain hits the blade. They glare at each other as the thunder and lightning flashes show them while in the darkness. After a few seconds they charge at each other Ethan attacks by slamming into Thanatos while he matches each strike. That when the screen changes to Winnie and Ostrava running through the forest leaping through the tree's.
Ostrava- Luna is that boy your mate.
Winnie didn't look at Ostrava but she has a shocked face.
Winnie- I told you to never call me that. And no he is not my mate. He's a good friend.
Ostrava- Then why does he has Alpha Aura?
Winnie- It's complicated Ostrava.
Ostrava- We have time. So start talking unless you want me to inform my father about this.
Winnie- GRRR! Fine. But if I tell you. This never leaves this forest.
Ostrava- You know I can't fully agree to that. Just tell me what's going on.
Winnie looked sad but swallowed in worry.
Winnie- Fine. You know about Revolta and her servants we've been fighting against.
Ostrava- Yes I do. But what does this have to do with Ethan having Werewolf Aura?
Winnie- I'm getting to that. He was captured and torture by Revolta. This was before he learned how to use Aura.
Ostrava- What!? Why would she waste her time with someone like that. He's no threat to her and whatever was that witch thinking?
Winnie- She used Ethan to get inside our school that lead to Muddy Creek getting attacked by her. But after that Ethan swear to kill Revolta by any means. And it lead him to finding True Alpha Armor and his sword.
Ostrava- But how the armor been missing for decades? Even our Alpha's couldn't even find the armor? How did he?
Winnie- Well his ancestor left him a Data-Cron that showed him the temples of True Alpha that stayed here in the Human Realm. After recovering True Alpha Armor and Sword he rebuilt them and used them not knowing his spirit was sealed inside it.
Ostrava- So thats what happened. That would explain why he isn't using his full capability.
Winnie- So will you keep you mouth shut about this. I worry if they find out about this there kill Ethan to get True Alpha soul.
Before Ostrava could answer Winnie pulled out her claws.
Ostrava- Hm. I will. But you have to promise me you will find a way to rid himself from True Alpha Spirit. The longer True Alpha remain alive he will become a threat to not just you but our entire race Winnie. You understand.
Winnie puts away her claws.
Winnie- Yes I know that Gold Boy. But you of all people should know how difficult it is to remove a soul that bonds with anyone.
Ostrava- Of course I do Winnie. That why I ask you to keep trying not just for his shake but yours as well.
As they continue to run the screen changes to Mason Erick and Bliss surrounded by dead Holly Knights. Mason stun a knight in place interrogating him.
Bliss- Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! That was so much fun! It's been a while since I could have this much fun.
Erick- Bliss remember control. I don't want to lose you again.
Bliss- Ha Ha. Uh! Sorry Erick it's hard to keep her sealed away sometimes. So what taking commander so long?
Erick- You know him Bliss. He want's to know what's going on. Especially when it comes to the Holly Knights.
Screen changes over to Mason who's levitating and crushing the Holly Knight he stun in place.
Mason- I'm only going to ask this once nice were is your king. I know he's here in the Dark Forest so were. So were is he.
Holly Knight- I don't know we were dropped off at different points for an assassination mission.
Mason- Then who where you getting orders from then.
Holly Knight- Our commander Thanatos head trainer of the Royal Knights and Guard. He left to deal with intruders that was attacking us from behind. Ha. But he has never been defeated before so I'm sure he'll give you a slow and painful death for what you've done to us Sinner. UHH.
The Holly Knight passes out from the pressure of Mason crushing him and drops him onto the ground. Before walking over to Erick and Bliss.
Mason- Alright men lets move out!
Erick- What's the plan sir.
Mason- Capture there leader Thanatos and get him to talk.
Bliss- That great plan sir. But um were is he exactly.
Mason- Dealing with our Allies now let's move before there killed by him.
Erick and Bliss- Sir yes sir!
As they take off into the storm area of the Dark Forest the screen changes back to Ethan and Thanatos. With Ethan slamming into Thanatos over powering him pushing him back.
Thanatos [Thoughts]- Uh! Dam kid. If I would have known he would be this strong with his armor I would have escaped. Then fight him.
Thanatos- HA. You impressive boy. But I wont be killed by you. Royal Guard I need your assistance!
[ Holly Knights Royal Guard Description- There Armor Dark Grey Silver that is a mix of modern and Knight Armor. The Helmet was Armet the visor was Black. They use staff that has a powerful gold ruby near the blade. The spear is made of Silver and has a royal cross and patterns].
That when three Holly Royal Guard appear out of being invisible looking down at him from the ruins.
Ethan- You don't fight faire Knight.
Thanatos- I do what ever it takes. To assure the survival of the Holly Knights from you Hell Hounds.
That when Thanatos uses a telekinesis blast launching Ethan back. He rolls onto his knees and reactivates his sword in a reverse grip.
Thanatos- These are my best students trained to protect our future king. Now they will kill you. Royal Guard kill this sinner!
Royal Guard- You hear our Master. Death to the Monsters of Muddy Creek!
The Royal Knights drop down from the Ruins and pull out there spears that burns a bright golden color that steam comes off the blade from the heavy rain fall.

Thanatos- These are my best students they shall not fail me. So goodbye Warlock.
Thanatos took off towards the far end of the ruins were there seem to be a camp set up. As Ethan stands up the Royal Guard charged at him. The first Royal Guard leaps in thrusting his spear at Ethan who responded by blasting him with lightning. But the guard kept charging at him. Ethan then then griped his sword in sword salute like Sibella. As he does flashes of Sibella using her sword form while training come back to Ethan. Ethan grips the sword tight with one hand and blocks the spear strike while charging in at the Royal Guard. His blade slides down the spear towards the Royal Guard. He leaps back planning to dodge Ethan sword impalement but Ethan grips him with telekinesis and yanks back into his sword and killing the guard. The other two rush in after seeing there fellow knight dead.
Royal Guard- Ungrateful Warlock!
The two remaining guards attacked Ethan from both sides but that when Ethan activated the Moon Sword and began wielding both of them. Ethan leaped and dodged each of there attacks while working in counters. Each of there strikes become a blur as light flashes of Blue red and gold are seen. The screen changes to the Metal Asylum indoor garden were Ethan fighting Phara in her surgery clothes. The garden is flooded as Ethan and Phara fight while on top of the water. While he's attacked by zombie doctors and nurses. Ethan in his day clothes but his leather jack is off and using the moon blade.
Phara- Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! That it Ethan. Let you moves be unpredictable. Also remember when attacked by multiple opponents be quick and unpredictable. And never give them a chance to attack back! HA HA HA HA!
As Ethan leaping ducking and cutting through Phara's Zombies. As Phara leaps at Ethan activating her two blades that burn a Dark Blue. As they blade clashed Ethan began to laugh with enjoyment the screen changes back to Ethan fighting the Royal Guard and he began to laugh that catches the royal guards off Guard. As he nocks away there attacks as the rain continue to fall thunder crackle through the sky.
Ethan [Evil Laugh]- HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Royal Guard- UH!! Un Holly Sinner. Die!
As they continue there attack Ethan kept getting closer to the guards but they continue to keep there distance but Ethan speed out does them leading to Ethan kill one of the guards by decapitating him. Then throws his moon sword impaling the second guard who tryed to impale Ethan from behind. The Guard was in shock looking at Ethan as he use telekinesis to yank out the sword from his chest killing him. That when Holly Knights Soldiers came running in charging at Ethan.
Holly Knight- No! He killed the Royal Guards! Kill him fellow knights.
Ethan- I have no time to deal with you. So get out of my way!
Ethan charges at the Holy Knights his weapon at the ready as the screen changes to Thanatos kneeling before computer screen connected to a satellite disk. On the computer screen is King Rory and Queen Margaret sitting on there thrones.
Rory [King]- So those Hell Hounds might be setting up a new pack here in the Monster Realm.
Thanatos- Yes my king. We must act to deal with them as fast as we can.
Rory- Hm. We must be careful Thanatos. If this is a trick by those Hell Hounds we could lose influence in America. And keep this from my son. Knowing him he would do something stupid to make more problems.
Thanatos- I understand my king.
Margaret [Queen]- As for my son has he discovered you are aiding us.
Thanatos- No my queen he knows nothing at the moment.
Margaret- Good. Ever since his survival against that Ethan fellow. He's been hell bent on revenge against the Warlock.
Ethan- Well that a pain to know.
That when Ethan walked over from the ruins. Around him are dead Holly Knight. Thanatos turns around and activates his sword surprised.
Rory- Ah. The Warlock of Muddy Creek. It nice to finally meet you.
Ethan- So your the ones responsible for attacking my friends.
Margaret- Friends!? Such a distasteful word for those Monsters.
Rory- Indeed dear. Now Warlock you can be so much more without those abominations holding you back.
Ethan- There not holding me back old man. So listen here. Take your Holly Knights and leave Muddy Creek otherwise I'll force you out.
Thanatos- Ha Ha Ha. Funny boy. But you can't control us we will defeat you one way or another.
Margaret- Thanatos is right Warlock. Eventually you will die to us or that Witch of the dark forest. But wouldn't it make sense to stand together as humans. And show these monsters what we can really do.
Ethan- Sorry but I'll pass. So are you going to leave or not.
Rory- Very well. If you wont listen to reason then you shall die. Thanatos get rid of this sinner once and for all this time. Then report back to my son.
Thanatos- As you wish my king. I've took it easy on you long enough kid.
Aa Rory said that the screen went black as Thanatos took off parts of his armor. As he toss parts off armor of it shook the ground surprising Ethan.
Ethan [Thoughts]- Wo! I guess he does weight training like me. This might be harder then I thought.
Thanatos- Sorry I held back there. I was ordered to gather information about you. Also don't expect any of those Rangers to show up and save you. That signal you sent out was already been jammed. There no one coming to save you.
Ethan [Thoughts]- So that why they haven't shown up yet. I guess that why there putting up those satellite dishes around the dark forest.
Ethan- I'm sure I can handle you. So show me what you can really do then.
Ethan and Thanatos grip there swords tight looking at each other. As the storm above them let out a loud sound they charged at each other. Ethan was wielding both his moon sword and Warlock Blade there Blue Lightning runs through the blades. While Thanatos Wind forms around his blade.
Ethan- Warlock Barrage Strike!
Thanatos- Holly Hurricane Slam!
As there blades connect it unleashes a repulse of Lightning and Wind. This attack slide Ethan back while Thanatos continue his attack pushing Ethan back and cutting his moon sword in half.
Ethan [Thoughts]- UH!! This isn't good he much stronger then before. I almost out of True Alpha Aura.
As Ethan thinks this he's holding off against Thanatos. That when True Alpha speaks to him again.
True Alpha [Thoughts]- You need me human. Let me lend you my Aura.
Ethan [Thoughts]- No. I wont be controlled by you again.
True Alpha [Thoughts]- Your going to die! If you don't!
Ethan [Thoughts]- Then so be it!
True Alpha [Thoughts]- That Pride going to kill you Human.
Ethan then began leaping and dodging Thanatos attacks. And began pushing Thanatos back. The screen changes to inside Ethan seal were True Alpha trying to brake free from his chains and Silver Spikes holding him down.
True Alpha- What!? No this can't be. HU!!
Pride- But it is. Old Friend.
That when Pride walks out from the darkness of the prison cell.
True Alpha-Pride!? This is your doing.
Pride- I wouldn't say that. Look at how he fight. It's a mix between his friends. Not from me.
True Alpha- Ha. You think I will believe in your lies Pride. I see it with in his Aura. You've left your mark on him quit well.
Pride- Yes. But he doesn't trust me fully. at least not yet.
True Alpha- So you do have plans for him. Just like Wrath when you sins betrayed me.
Pride- We never betrayed you. You betrayed yourself and fell because of it.
True Alpha- GRR! That not what happened Pride. You know that.
Pride remain silent as he fades into the shadows.
True Alpha- Ha. I thought so. Your plans will failure and I'll will be reborn one way or another.
The screen changes back to Ethan slamming back Thanatos. However each strike has Ethan get more cut up from Thanatos Wind strike.
Thanatos [Thoughts]- Impossible he should be out of Aura. Were is he getting this strength from. HU!?
Ethan- Warlock Lightning Strike!
Ethan slams Thanatos launching him back sliding him near the cliff edge. But Ethan hit his knees looking drained as blood drip from his wounds. Thanatos has Dark Blue Lightning shocking throughout his body. It continue to rain.
Thanatos- If I would have known you were this strong I would have killed you sooner. But it would seem your finally out of Aura. Hell Hound.
Ethan- Ha. I'm no Werewolf. But ya I'm all out. But you forgot one important think.
Thanatos look confused until he looks up and his face turn to horror as he see's the storm clouds has formed a Werewolf with a chains being held by the Huntsmen.
Thanatos- No. This can't be how you were able to control such a storm.
Ethan- It took a while but it was possible.
Thanatos- Like I'll allow you a chance to use it against me.
Thanatos- Holly Wind Barrage!!
Thanatos moves at high speed appearing Infront of Ethan that catches him off guard but he was able to block the strike. That caused cuts on Ethan body who blocks each strike. The screen changes to forest were Winnie and Ostrava running through top of the tree's. Not far from the temple ruins.
Ostrava [Thoughts]- What!? That human took control of the storm this massive. There's no way he could have done this. Winnie is hiding something from me. About him.
Winnie [Thoughts]- Ha. I guess Ethan finally decided to use his full strength. But this isn't good he will end up hurting himself again or worse.
An image of Ethan dead body flashed in her head.
Winnie- Come on Ostrava we need to hurry.
Ostrava- Hold on what's with this human Winnie. Why is he so strong!
Winnie- Were talk about this latter. We need to hurry now.
Holly Knights- Death to the Werewolf's of Muddy Creek!
Winnie- GRR! Move tin heads! Werewolf Magma Claws!!
That when three Holly Knights drop from the tree's attacking Winnie but she cuts through them ripping the knights apart with one claw strike. Blood mixes in with the rain drops as they enter the temple ruins from the forest. The screen changes back Ethan who still holding off against Thanatos.
Thanatos- This shouldn't be possible how are you keeping up with me your Aura's drained. How are you able to continue to fight!
Ethan- Wow. You haven't figured it out yet have you.
Thanatos [Thoughts]- What does he mean by. . wait!? His Crystals on his armor there giving him extra Aura. How could my spy's miss this.
Ethan- Lightning Wave!!
Thanatos- AHHH!! Dam you Warlock!! UH!! No!
Ethan- Werewolf Storm Lightning Strike!!
Ethan blast Thanatos back to the edge of the cliff he manage to hold off Ethan Lightning strike. But before he could charge at Ethan again he takes control of the storm. As Dark Blue Lightning runs through Ethan body as the Crystal on his Warlock Armor crack as the cloud Werewolf form into Lightning as the Huntsmen points at Thanatos. That when Winnie and Ostrava arrive not far from Ethan and Thanatos. As Ethan yanks down the Lightning Werewolf with both hands. It moved at blinding speed it slams into Thanatos who manage to hold off the lightning strike as Ethan crystal began to crack and brake.
Thanatos- This can't be! I wont die like this! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Then the cliff edge gives away and Thanatos falls into the darkness bellow the cliff. Once the Lightning hits the ground it blast lightning back up into the sky and the storm brakes apart clearing the sky's of the storm. This has Ostrava look at Ethan with fear. Ethan injects himself with a ectoplasm shot then turned around and smiles while seeing Winnie. Ethan then lift his right hand then blasts the near by satellite dish with light blue lightning destroying it. Then he takes a few steps before collapsing into the mud. Winnie runs over in a panic seeing how badly cut up Ethan was.
Ostrava [Thoughts]- Uh! this human. Now I see why the Monster Court interested in him. If he's this strong he could prove a threat to there power. Maybe even to Werewolf packs.
Ethan- Uh. Hi. Winnie glad to see you finally catch up with me. Uh. .
Winnie- Ethan!!
Winnie yanks Ethan out of the mud and lay him on the back. Then she place her hand on Ethan head and close her eyes and began to focus to heal Ethan slowly. Ostrava stands beside Winnie.
Ostrava- Winnie. What is this human?
Winnie- Ha. Just a good friend Gold Boy. Now help me get him back to Miss Grim School. He's hurt after all.
Ostrava- Ow! Right away fellow Luna.
Winnie- Would you stop calling me that!
Ostrava- Sorry it's hard not to.
Ostrava looked confused as the screen pulls out showing Mason Bliss and Erick looking down at them from a temple rooftop.
Bliss- Ha I was right they really didn't need our help.
Erick- Ya. I'm impressed the boy might be as strong as us.
Mason is on a cell phone.
Mason- Yes Walter everything alright. There on there way back to Miss Grim School.
Walter [Phone]- Thanks Mason. We just got his message. Were also going to have to deal with these Holly Knights and there jammers.
Mason- I know. I'll gather some of my men and your Rangers and push them out for good this time.
The screen changes to a cave inside the forest. Then goes inside that shows a royal inside of a rich thrown room were a shadow figure sits on a thrown. As a Holly Knight kneels before the man on thrown.
Andrew- What do you mean you lost contact with Thanatos and his men!
Holly Knight- I am truly sorry my king. But the satellite dish was destroyed and the last images was Thanatos being blasted off a cliff by a giant lightning bult.
Andrew- GRR! That dam Warlock. He shall pay for this. HU!!
Holly Knight- By god name Thanatos. You live!
That when Thanatos walks through the thrown room doors with lightning g scars across his body and kneels in pain Infront of Andrew.
Thanatos- Forgive me for my failure my King. I could not kill the Sinner.
Andrew- No matter my old master. The important thing is your alive. Knight get a medic now!
Holly Knight- Right away my king.
Thanatos- Thank you my king. UH.
Thanatos collapse as the king grips his chair tight enraged.
Andrew- You shall pay for this Ethan Dawn I swear it.
The chair arm brakes as his eyes go from blue to dark red as the screen fades to black
