Chapter 3 - Chapter 2 The Room

Episode 1- The unseen side

After that berif talk the strange warmth surrounding them the whole time in that house and in the tunnel suddenly went cold.

Nicka suddenly erupted and began talking

" Shit . Now what is with this new feeling . I feel like under the king's prowess again. ... That bastard ....oooo. still gives me goosebumps."

"Whatttt. What did he do to you ?" Adds Sheru

Waada smiles and adds "TELL him "

Sheru massaging the bump on his head " Now what did I say wrong wrong here."

Sazji and Waada bursts into laughter.

[Waada was not badass from the birth . He just suppressed his childish desires, his feelings and even is enjoyable lagh after the world went through a change . ]

Back to his serious mood " Now enough chitchat..Um Sazji can you cut that steel pillar to form like a door into it."

Excited " I thought you were single player ."

"Spent 6 months together and yet you doubt he won't trust you . How rude of you bastard." Answered Sheru instead of Waada. He just smirks.

Sazji just closes his eyes and laughs.

Then as the mood switched he dashed forward . While handling his old sword he cut .After a hundred strikes in under a half a minute he stopped and sheathed his sword .

Sheru was about to make a joke ."was that harrrrrr...d..."

While closing his mouth Sazji smiled again. The steel pillar was carved into a doorway. He not just cut out the door -he made a doorway out of it.

"Good job now the king would know where to find us " claps thap thap .

"Oh my bad " with a shocked face.

"I guess even the smartest among us makes some mistake." Said Nicka while laughing out loud.

Now not delaying any longer they entered a path way .

" Woah . I thought it would be a cramped space . " Asked Nicka

" It is a portal pillar . It takes you to a secret room . A room full of weap." Gets intrupted by Sazji " I am so sorry . I didn't know such things were really possible. I thought the same her . "

Waada and Sheru both placed their hands on his respective shoulders and stared at him .

Before waada could say anything Sheru spoke up

" You my friend are the dumbest genius I know."

"... . Don't tell me.."

"Yup a portal always returns back into its initial shape and size."

( He knew that you idiot . Thats why he tried cutting something his current weapon and skill was not capable of .He just wanted to make us look good and dumb at same time.) Waada spoke to Sheru in his mind.

Next scene

Sazji now serious doesn't reply and mentions

" We donot have enough weapons to provide to you . Please be well. What bullshit. They are the only reason there's only four of us . "

"..."

" All of them could have survived or at least we could have saved Bazz that day."

Sheru pats him and nods as to say ' donot worrry brother we can do it'

While looking at a giganticly huge hallway even matching the size of the kings hall Sazji saddened again but still got excited. Everywhere they looked weapons and weapons.

Waada warned them " Now lets not waste any more time . Carry whatever weapon your want . How many you want . But make haste ,this place is not any ordinary one . It drains our power the more we stay here ."

"..." Silence filled the crimson crystals made hallway. Not even a single sound could be heard .

" Now move ."

"Yes" replied Sheru

As they moved forward weapons of greatee quality could be found .

Swords upon swords , spears ,shields, warhammers ,bows ,a like near infinite arrowsand much more.

Sheru spotted a nice pair of daggers . Golden hilts and shinning blades . He couldn't take his eyes off of them. He inspected the hand guard and found a single name written half way on both of them . 'hun' and 'ters'.

Satisfied he wanted to look of others but heard a scream and followed after it.

Sazji wandering in different section spotted a rusty sword section . He wanted to ignore it but couldn't as he thought ( These swords have seen the war they must be the ones)

Then a silver hilt sword caught his eye . A neither rusty nor in perfect condition sword . It had a red gem in its crossgaurd . Beautiful yet eerie.

He handled the blade and smiled while reading its name carved in its rainguard. Written in old style ' The Silver Sculptor '. And its fuller shinning even brither than the rest of the blade.

He looked for a scabbard and found the right one soon enough. Right about when he thought he was satisfied he spotted a Wakizashi matching the sword. ( Long sword long sword noo i donot use it small blades noooo) And then he picked it up as well. A small blade shinning as much bright as it can shine. Name ' lion '. ( Ah thank god it was a simple one). Then he heard a shout and rushed to it.

While Nicka didn't want a new primary weapon she was searching for a small crossbow. But suddenly her hand s started turning into hair man hands . " Ahhhhhh haaaaah " .

Sazji and sheru rushed to her side . "Whaaattt". Followed by a "whaaasaattt". They both stared at the half man half woman straight cut vertically. Nicka gasped and all three of them rushed to their only magic user.

Meanwhile Waada was roaming far from them and had collected a lots of usefull items . About all of them could be seen in the helmet he was carrying as a bag. Noise cancellation magic buds one pair already equipped. A one time full body transformation pack [he only found one and yes magic items donot loose their touch here just only the living beings ] and a mini crossbow .

It seemed like what he was looking for was not amongst theose items .

Then a sudden and rare glow was seen in his eyes. It was excitement.

Episode 2- Right to choose

But before Waada could head to the the object and touch was felt on his right shoulder . (I was confident we werebalone here asonly king and I knew of this place .Who could it be ? Oh yeah right its that ...its about time i told them)

He turns around and goes " Wooah, I didn't think it would come undone only half way." He removed the ear buds.

Nicka was half male and half female . One side a normal breast while other a hard chest. One side long beautiful hair while other's were kinda same but shorter.

All others were shocked. Then Nicka started hitting Waada.

" You baastard . You know what's going on here right. "

Before Waada could reply she started again

" What is this am I a boy cursed to live as a girl or I am a girl who just turned into a boy. Answer me damnit."

" Okay ok calm down . " Sheru was controlling his laugh while Waada said that.

" Its none of that. You just have a rare magic reaction condition. It makes you turn into .. well into a boy this time. Whenever you are in a dangerous situation taking control over this condition would help you . Well it would be hard but not impossible. You have like a very very temporary yet long lasting transformation . Here it was triggered due to you thinking too much about something."

"I can do what now."

"Well leave it please. You will come to know soon enough."

And Nicka tried to speak up again but Waada handed her a suit before she had a chance.

" Well if you want you can use this . It would change you into anything and anyone you want . But it will erase your adaptive ability. Be ware ."

And he leaves saying "if you trust me wait for some time and i will , no... You will get your answers . Right to choose is yours."

" Okay fiine i trust you " ( Yeah because i am kinda excited)

Her body starts to turn back to normal again. < Due to the room affect dampening the magic and her mood swinging again.>

Then Waada came about again and handed her a crossbow .

"Here a gift for treating me nicely and trusting me. And donot expect another ." ( Yeah take it and stop this conversation.)

"Nope I donot even want your words . Thank you for the crossbow by the way ."

Next scene

Waada explained another thing that it might be better to stay here a little longer as he noticed the drain was not that bad. So that they can plan something as he was out of next parts here.

Then Sazji and Nicka were working on her staff adding a spearhead to it.

While Sheru picked up another set of throwing knives.

"Well these should do " Sheru exclaimed.

Then he stared at Waada standing still and staring at one of the walls.

"Well its not gonna suggest you anything even if you stare at it all month .

"No, thats not it . This wall doesn't fit right in my eyes thats all. "

He then picks a warhammer and stomps the ground. And with a gust of wind the debris started to fly . Then it turned into a gaint hammer and hit the wall . The wall looked like it shattered under the focre but as the dust cleared. The wall was still there what shattered was the hammer . But Sheru felt something strange. As he was the one with good intuition, but left it alone.

Episode 3- The Mould

Several days had passes. Waada had been missing for a while now.

< He is shown tunneling out of the room to safety. He realised that the room was a deep underground bunker.>

Others were restless they were beginning to spar .

Sheru were sitting on a crimson table. He was in deep thoughts about something.

Meanwhile Sazji was teaching Nicka some sword art while holding his Sculptor tightly.

[You Never know when the weapons could be switched.]

Sheru then walked to the mysterious wallend again .

(If it is what I think it is . Then ) He then hit the wall with his bare fist. It felt like cracking but blood was dripping from his hand as well.

" Just like I thought. It bounces the force back at me . But how about now."

Along a loud bang he hit his fist again. And started punching exponentially fast. He knew the force should be a believable amount at best.

[ He was not the same as before. He had trained his fists as well as his skills. And yeah he didn't use his 'Hunters' here.]

Before long his fist were drenching in blood but he didn't stop. He was like waiting for something to happen . Calm and punching all while hearing every sound around him .

Then in mere next seconds a sound is heard. Like a key fitting a lock perfectly and he hurriedly changed the direction of his attacks to the ground.

With another sound.

A bright white light was emitting from the wall. Sheru not have enough time to retreat got sucked into the wall along with all the other life forms in 'the room'.

Soon all of them regained their thinking process. All while travelling in a strange doorway. They were heading toward the end of the doorway.

[ Yeah it a bit exagterated. It all happened in like 10 seconds. It was a small doorway.]

There all four of them stood again . Together

Waada spoke first breaking the silence. " I was about to reach the top you know"

< He was tunneling inside a crack in the ceiling>

Then all three glared at Sheru without him even saying anything. Then he opened his mouth." Okay okay I didn't knew it would take us all in . I am innocent."

"Innocent you say huh " Added Sazji

"Ummmm no but yeah in this matter I aam innocent"

Without giving it any more thought Sazji continued

" Okay well what is this place?"

"It looks like same to me but like a different part of the bunker" replied Waada

" We are in a bunker!!? " Added Sheru

" Yeah I thought you would have noticed the vents above our heads covered under the crystals." Explained Nicka

" So you three already knew and never told me that."

All three chuckled and let the overall condition slide.

As they advanced together again with Nicka and Sheru convering the left and right side respectively. And Waada protecting all their backs while Sazji heads forward. He was awwed and shocked along with impressed at the same time. He was heading to a distant stone made mould.

He toched its edge and shiver went through his whole body. Goosebumps upon goosebumps and he couldn't do anything to stop them. He was looking at seemingly old mould of a gaint sword . He could feel that whatever was made in it, was not a blade that a normal citizen could hope to pary with.

< He was talking about the sheer power not the size>

He iched his head and was about to take a closer look at the design but before he could, a hand intrupted him.

It was the hand of Nicka wobbling on his face . He turned around and saw a man chained and seemingly hungry. At that moment even Waada was hesitant. But yet he moved towards the man .

< Well at a closer look he looked like a 20 year old boy at best>

Waada gently kicked the leg of the boy . The boy seemed dead but he moved . Opening his eyes and taking a look at all their face he

"Ahhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa" screamed

" Who are you all." Followed by a " what are you " and "why are you here"

Sazji seemed more shocked than others by his reaction.

Episode 4 - The Devil Born

The boy then shook his head and he moved suddenly

Waada created an air barrier,

Sazji unsheathed the sculpor,

Nicka got into defence stance her hand merging with the staff and

Sheru was already handling the 'Hunters' said " don't even try"

Next moment the boy picked up his cuffed hand from the ground and started scratching his head.

" I .. no .. none not even that king can attack someone here you know. Not directly atleast " He replied

" Waada ?" Asked Sazji even though he felt like the boy was innocent. Yet he couldn't risk it.

" Please lower your weapon Sheru. He is not the enemy . Atleast I think so."

" Whaat . Here I got excited for no reason "

The reasom why they felt ominous was no where to be found except for the title written by the square the boy sat in.

'The DEVIL Born'

Waada instantly strated telling a story

" The boy accused of being illegitimate son of the king in the barrens."

[ Yeah same waateland the waves of monzters came in from]

" Their was a rumour about him having child back then . But again you are older . "

Then he turned towards his companions

" The only reason he is still breathing means he was falsely accused. Am i right?"

" Yeah ." The boy sat on his tip toes now smiling and depressed at same time

" I was just a child passing by his side that day . I was there to deliver a message from the king . " And he started staring at the ceiling

" Maan he was the definition of a good king. Until those two bastards ruined it."

Then he stopped staring at the ceiling and looked at the group instead

" Due to just that one time I was concluded to be his heir by the current king."

Waada moved and lifted the chains . As he looked back , Sazji agreed and immediately cut the chains like a thin hair .

" Oooh ,that was fast . But why did you

" Because I know you are not the heir. And I wanted to meet your ' figure' of the devil heir anyway ."

Silence came down in the prison hall

"..." Before Waada could continue the boy spoke

" As I thought you remember the past correctly. But you should know I am just another guy just with strange aurra than others "

" I know . But that is why I wanted to meet you. "

The boy now curious. Same could be said for others

"You were the only messenger the old king relied on . You were one sent to stop the war between the two most powerful beings on the planet ."

(Yes finally someone who seem to know the truth ) Thought the boy.

And said " A.... What was my name again . Well leave it . I am A.. something . Sorry I could only remember that. "

He shaked his hand with waada. He was now stand . Sitting he seemed taller but he was only about 5'7" or 5'8" now.

" A I wanted to ask you what happe...."

A shushed Waada and said " hey you Sazji right . please."

Before he could say anything more Sazji freed him of all the 22 shackles and cuffs put on him.

" Thanks."

Sazji nodded .

" The king is coming " said A

And all took their respective battle stance.

Soon with a golden light filling the room a glowing figure emerged from the wall door.

" - I see they freed you -" his aurra was intense but all of them were enduring it .

" - You know he is not even as powerful as you lot . -" said the smirking King.

" I know . " Waada replied.

The king seemed to be disgusted

"- you -"

" I know he is not powerful. And I even know that you only caged him here to satisfy your heart. "

The king seemed furious now . He unleashed his aurra and two figures in the background seemed to be hurting.

Sazji and Nicka were groaning in pain while Waada shielded A by creating a small space of his own aurra. [But where is Sheru]

Waada then continued while the king was hesitant due to some reason.

" You caught a random person and it was his misfortune he turned out to be the messenger. You just randomly caged normal boy and called him the devil heir."

Now the reason for kings hesitation was realised .

" I know you cannot kill us"

[It was due to this room not allowing any battles here.]

"I know you want to and you can . A single attack may injure us enough and may even kill one . You might come in but you won't because a single attack to your this body and it will disappear. Marking the start of a new cooldown of 5 minutes for your dear right hands power."

Episode 5 - The March

The king suddenly felt at lots of emotions raging in his head . Then he decided to attack them .

He increased the aurra pressure and went for the kills everyone else had closed their eyes. A sound of sword unsheathing could be heard .

Then 'klinchk' a knife hit the sword .

But the king thought he himself was not a fool and stop Sheru midair with his one arm. [ His arm was growing in lenght]

Sheru was groaning in pain . His body was now covered in blood due to thorns that the king's extended arm created.

But still Sheru smiled ''' you.. fell for it "'

Within that moment three others had advanced and the king still stopped them with his other hand . He froze Nicka in place using his thorns and put her about 75% into the floor all while Sazji was attacking him constantly.

The two Swords were also fighting a battle amidst their own . The king was pushing Sazji back with just pure swordsmanship.

During the waiting period Waada had also learnt something. That he could use ground and water together while mixing another components in them and then hardening them with air pressure. He had collected some waste metal scraps from here and there . And

Now Waada was blocking the king's attacks using a shield made of them .

Then suddenly amidst the battle the kings body suddenly disappeared.

Waada and sazji attacked him yet theirs didn't reach.

Nicka was stuck. Sheeu was stuck . Then

" Good job A. " Nicka shouted

" No it wasn't me. " Replied A and added.

" I may have connected but he disappeared before it did."

All schocked now looked at Sheru. Now bathed in his own blood he smiled but one of his teeth was missing.

Waada noticed it yet didn't say anything. Then he spoke " hurry gather around. Pick Sheru up Sazji and bring him here". Before he could turn around to look at Sazji. He was already ready along with Sheru.

Nicka smiled as A was digging her out using a knife.

All were gathered again standing upright and waada said .

" Oh not there . My bad . Come here."

After wasting a good moment they again gathered. And suddenly the roof sucked them up. .

" Phew . I was worried the wall might
