Kanok was gasping for air after Sorrichiro released him. "Curse you, Nero!" He said as he tried to get up but was held down by the guards, "You've grown weaker these past few years, haven't you Kanok?" Ivhek commented, chuckling afterwards, "Yeah, and I can see your still a pawn." "At least I'm not a captive." he grinned, Kanok got annoyed with Ivhek's taunting "And your necklace is now with me,"
"After all these years Nero, you still want Cassaport, what does it have that you so deeply desire!" Kanok's voice raised, he was enraged that he was captured and being used by Nero and his men. Nero only let out a laugh, "You were the mind of it all Kanok, without you to defend it, I expected it to be a breeze......" ".... Or so you thought, I know my brother-in-arms, Afleck would've made a plan," Nero is furious and he fit Kanok in the face "And he did! he made these flying humans and now we have to work harder!" It was Kanok's turn to chuckle, "I knew he would, the Phoenix Order isn't it?"
"How did you know?" Nero asked, "He told me this a long time ago, and I'm grateful he did." Kanok said, trying to break free. "But I guess this is my turn now," he said, anticipating his electric powers to work but he can, "How?!" He asked as he is pinned down by the guards, Nero grinned as he saw him weak in his dimension, "In the void, any power but darkness is useless." the guards took him away but he still resisted, trying to summon his lightning powers, but it was no use, he has no power on his abilities.
"Try all you want elfling, you have no control and what will happen next." Sorrichiro said as guards, half a dozen of them, held Kanok as they walked him into a room where he is strapped down and is defenseless. "You can do nothing here." Sorrichiro said as the guards left the room, leaving only the two of them in the room. "Tell me again mortal, do you have a tell of your destiny?" he asked as he walked closer towards Kanok who was struggling to get out of the chains, "No," Kanok said in defiance, "But I can change it." the right half of his arm morphed a arm blade, formed from his arms now metal form, slicing off the chains with his arm, getting into a defense stance, four of the guards went inside, their swords and spears ready to strike Kanok down as he got up, "Let me free Sorrichiro, I am no one to be used as an experiment," Kanok took a step closer, making the guards take a step closer too, Sorrichiro summoned his Shadow Katana to his hand, "Your the perfect candidate to use as my test subject Kanok, the strongest of the elementals, and you are no match here in the void." With a hardened look, Kanok dashed towards the four guards, they hold up a fight against Kanok, using their shields and swords to counter him, but even at a weakened state, Kanok and his arm blade was able to take down the four guards.
He elongates his blade, reaching the length of two feet and pointed it towards Sorrichiro, "You better let me go or else....." "Or else what, lightning elf?" Kanok's expression change, his face twisted with anger as he was held in captivity for ten years, he went in for the strike but was blasted away by a purple blast, two figures came inside the room, "You think you will simply get away from harming master Sorrichiro, elf?" Hazer said as he grinned, seeing Kanok bruised and battered, "I'll have fun cutting this guy down," Ivhek said as he equipped his two arm blades.
Kanok got up from the floor, blood comin out of his mouth, his vision was blurry, seeing the three figures in front of him, "I shall escape, just you wait." Kanok said, retracting his arm blade and reaching out for the two swords nearby and a spear, picking the swords up and putting it behind him and taking a defensive position with the spear. Ivhek charged towards Kanok as he charged also.
He threw his spear towards the unsuspecting Hazer, piercing his left arm and pinning him to a wall, he dodged Ivhek's slashes and equipped the two swords, using it to block Ivhek's attacks, Ivhek on the other hand wasn't so happy and got frustrated with every attack, every slice he attempted failed as Kanok blocked everything with calm rage, "Impossible," Ivhek murmured under his breath as he was kicked down, Kanok getting slashes in his back as Sorrishiro rushed to aid Ivhek.
Kanok turned around in just the perfect time to block another hit, but at the cost of losing one of his swords, the sword clanked to the ground as Kanok backed away from Sorrichiro, feeling the burning pain of his back being cut multiple times, but he only gritted his teeth in defiance and held the sword in his left hand, gripping it tightly, "Came and face your death!" Sorrichiro rushed towards Kanok who was just standing there, then suddenly, Kanok dodged with fluid precision and struk Sorrichiro with his sword, the two clashed on as Ivhek slowly gained back his senses and Hazer, still trying to remove the spear stuck to his left arm.
Sorrichiro used the darkness to his advantage to heal his wounds and restore his strength, Kanok knew if he kept on fighting him in the darkness, he will eventually lose. He knocked over one of the lanterns, setting the room on fire to reveal Sorrichiro's location, he was precise of his moved, dodging all of Sorrichiro's attacks to grab his necklace from Ivhek and equips it, finally feeling alive again, "I will survive," He said as he equips his arm blade once more, now charged of electricity, he charged towards Sorrichiro with the The Eternal Requime in his hands, "No you wont," Sorrichiro replied, using his shadow form to appear behind Kanok and slashes a wound at Kanok's left arm, dropping the knife.
He strikes back with his arm blade, with a slash, he was able to disarm Sorrichiro of his katana, the sword fell to the ground and Sorrichiro is defenseless "Now....." He pointed the arm blade at his rival, ".....Where is the portal."
"You wont get away for long Kanok!" Sorrichiro said as he is held at knife point by Kanok, walking towards the portal, "I know that, but you wont take it all away from me," he replied, his teeth gritting at the thought that he was trapped for ten years in the void, "But once I'm free, your the first..." Just then, Sorrichiro summoned a portal and pointed it towards Kanok, "Just go there and it will transport you back to the living." Sorrichiro scowled after Kanok slashed his left arm, "You better watch out." He said before Kanok fully disappeared into the portal, only leaving behind the knife.
"Where am I?" Kanok asked himself as he got up from his slumber, he was unfazed as he saw his left hand was covered in burn marks from holding the knife, he was still a mortal, and the knife burns those who are not of immortal status. He was somewhere in the middle of a island of sort as the sun beat down on his pale skin after ten years, he covered his face with his hand as he scanned the area, no signs of life, he was stuck in an island. He was alone.
"Well, this should do the trick," He said to himself as he summoned a electric axe to chop down a few palm trees to create a makeshift raft, as the hours passed, he saw land, it was a hut atop of the cliff, he knew he just found land but the place is unfamiliar to him.
As he navigated his raft towards the island and the hut he saw, he took a minute to admire the beauty of the place. The clear blue sea contrasted against the lush green of the trees and cliff, with the sky above a clear blue. The sea gently rocked the raft as it approached, and he felt a sense of relief. When he finally arrived at the edge of the cliff, he could see the hut more clearly now. It was built onto the side of the cliff, with a small walkway leading to it, and a view of the sea in the background.
"Who knows, someone must be home." he said to himself as he stood in front of the door, contemplating on whether he should knock or not.
All of the sudden, the door swung open, a arm yanked him inside. A old lady pinned him down to the ground, a spear tip gently pressed on his neck, "You better find a reason why you're here, boy." the lady said as she showed incredible strength with her age, "I'm a traveller," he said with his hands up, "I'm part of the elemental resistance." "Elemental resistance?....." She asked, lowering her guard, he nods to what she said, "Kanok, the lightning reaper...." The lady fell silent. Only when she snapped her fingers did she broke the silence, "Kanok....... that name reminds me of someone...." Seeing why she snapped her fingers, he looks down and sees a water tiger approaching towards him, he gasps.
"Mimi"
