Episode 54 - The Guardian of Will Pt 2

In some waterfall, away from the city, Azure was training with his powers. Falling in the air, he trusted his sword on the water, freezing it, and stepped on the ice to slide down to safety.

Tiger: You are taking Pudim's advice as well?

Azure: Are you stalking me?

Tiger: Not at all, I just wanted to ask if you wanted me to train with you since you did the same yesterday.

Azure: I'm trying to do as you did on my own way.

Tiger: One more reason to get my help.

They begin to clash swords, but combining their elemental magic with their blows.

Tiger: You seem to be upset.

Azure: I am.

Tiger: What's on your mind?

Azure: You came here to practice or to talk?

Tiger: I can do both.

Azure: I'm was always Fateful's dragonslayer. I always took down any dragon that served Saisem on my own, alone.

He stopped sparring.

Azure: That dragon that defeated you... She was the one who brought all dragons in the world to our side.

Tiger: Isn't that a good thing?

Azure: Yes? I get it that it is selfish of me to say that, but without enemy dragons to face, I feel useless. Fighting her in the honor battle could maybe make me feel like I finally achieved my goal, yet, you did instead. And you lost.

Tiger: Hey!

Azure: If you lost to her... Maybe even I could've... I mean, we're basically at the same level.

Tiger: That's a high praise coming from you.

Azure: And don't expect me to repeat it.

Tiger: Well, considering your opponent today is some type of Mage, maybe you do have a chance?

Azure: Isn't it the opposite?

Tiger: Not to you.

Meanwhile, back in Mexico.

Jade: Harper. We're going to Russia.

She hops into the van.

Harper: What? No! We need the whole team for that!

Flora: I thought we would stay to help your people hold on until the IBI arrived? But I guess with their walls they might be just fine...

Emily: If only We had Malware.... They could upgrade the Wall to be safer.

Jade: Don't worry, I painted up good weapons and protection for the whole village.

Flora: Well, it's our funeral.

Flora hops inside the van.

Flora: Still are you sure? That's like, very deep into enemy territory.

Emily: We could go back to the base and wait for the others to be done with the honor battle thingy.

She said as she got in too.

Jade: My brother, and many others like me, could be suffering right now. We need to save him and them!

Flora: Wouldn't the IBI invasion also accomplish that?

Harper merges her body to the van's engine and it starts to take flight as the villagers make a "ceiling" above the city to avoid aerial attacks.
