Rise Of Steele   The end before the end

"Huff. Huff. Even with the second layer, he's too strong." Reginald gazes at the miasma-covered assassin. Keith was laughing maniacally as he shreds through all of the thief's clones. "Hah! To think I was worried about your relic, pathetic... I'll make your death painful in every way." He licks his lips and charges at the thief. "Tck. Arc!" Reginald swings his sword to the sides which the assassin passes through using his miasma body. Keith stood in front of Reginald with a malicious grin. "Haven't you tried that already? In this mode, I can phase through all of your attacks." "I've noticed something about that pesky miasma of yours." He tightened the grip of his blade that was swallowed by the miasma... "Pierce!" The streak of aura created a hole through the assassin's body. "Pff. Hahahaha, is that all?" Reginald smiled. "I knew it, just as I can't touch you while you're phasing, you can't touch me either." Keith's facial expression took a sharp 180. "Grr, so what if you

It has been a day since the raid on the Elder's secret chambers. Elder Bari had recovered completely thanks to Kisha using Heal Pulse on him. Most parts of the chambers were ravaged and all the ninjas that were still alive were rounded up and locked somewhere. "Let the meeting begin!" Elder Ram declares from the altar as he and Bari looked down on the Saints, Ace and Kaz. "I told Regi to head to Lundar if he escapes." Ace states. "And I've spoken with the others, I briefed them on everything that has transpired so far, they will be heading to Lundar today leaving me and Ace left." At first, the Vagrant games were merely a way for the Aegis clan to test their might against other clans. But as the events unfold, they found out that one of the clans participating in the tournament was the Valhalla clan. A clan that works directly under Barbaros, one of their common enemies with the Saints. "Adacus..." Elder Ram called for the retired Saint. Adacus stepped forward. He had also r

"I can't move."A man was drifting along the infinite blackness of space. He appeared to almost be completely lifeless with his back curved.Whatever must have happened to him left him unable to move and therefore unable to save himself.He was clad in black and white tights with golden highlights on the sides. A name tag with the initials "Ryker" was pinned to his chest."How long have I been drifting in space, hours perhaps days? I can't tell. God! My mind is foggy, my Astro tech is almost fully drained and once it dries out, so will my astral skin and I'll die from lack of oxygen."He tried to move his body in desperation but to avail..."This paralysis is that witch's hex. Is this how my story ends? Am I fated to die a loser? That too at the hands of the people I served for over a decade!?"More hours passed and Ryker's situation did not change."It's so cold." He imagin

He wore a white blazer with trousers of matching color.As he was browsing through the documents, he heard a knocking on his door. He crosses his legs and cleared his throat."Come in."A woman in her early twenties walked in. She takes a few steps forward and then bows her head. "You called, Flagmaster?""Ahh," The man raises his head revealing a monocle on his right eye. He couldn't help but smile at the sight of the beautiful woman in front of

"So,"Jackal, Ryker, and Ming were at the dining table."You ready to tell me how you wound up in the middle of literally nowhere?"Ryker paused his eating as he balls his fist.His past flashed before his eyes. Jackal and Ming could feel the rage and anguish that overcame the white-haired man.He recalled working diligently for the association even though he was of the lowest ranks. He worked tirelessly hunting down petty criminals with his Astro gear.He also recalled being left for dead by the woman he respected the most."Life is cruel, snow-white. So you don't have to talk if you don't want to."Ryker took a deep breath. "No, I owe you two for saving my life. So it's the least I could."He stands up and begins his narration."As you already know, I'm a C-Grade bounty hunt

"Those bastards!" Ryker cursed."Captain," said Ming. "We're surrounded by an association warship and a dozen mini-cruisers."Haha, they went all out didn't they? That too on my second day since resurfacing."Boom! The Black Stallion was receiving heavy fire from all directions."Argh!" Ryker yelled. "What do I do?" He yanked his hair. "I'm one unlucky bastard aren't I?"He cursed his bad luck. First, he was betrayed and attacked by the association for no reason whatsoever. When he had given up on life, he was saved by an unknown cruiser.Now, it turns out that the cruiser belonged to one of the most wanted men in the Cosmos!"My fate is sealed, I'm doomed to die at the hands of the association." He plopped to the floor and hugged his knees."Hey, Snow-white."Ryker rai

Why're they losing against one man?"She was checking the heat scanners as she saw the fate of her subordinates."Is this the strength of the most wanted man in the cosmos?"She had sent waves after waves of hunters to the Black Stallion but the result was the same.They were beaten and knocked out with single blows by one man.Mysty was unaware of the fact that it wasn't Jackal who was beating up her crew."I guess, I'll just have to go there myself."...Jackal had a bucket of popcorn in front of him as he and Ming indulged themselves with the sight of a one-sided bea
