Myers and Koda tracked through the wild for days on end with very few breaks. One night during their slumber Koda began to shake all he could hear was Duke casting the move that sealed his fate. "DUKE NO!!!!" Koda screamed out in his sleep." Ill end you you rancid bastard!!" Koda began to shake heavily which woke up Myers. He reached for Koda in an attempt to wake him up from his slumbered prison when out of nowhere Kodas' hands began to glow. They shot out burst of what looked like white energy causing Myers to take a step back. "Jordan.....Duke.....Mom..... iv lost too many...... NEVER AGAIN!!!" With that shout Kodas' hands expelled a force of energy that blasted the ground with enough power to punch a slight hole in the dirt. Myers was in a panic now and sprinted to Koda, shaking him trying to wake him up. Koda came to in a panic."Whats going on!?!?!" "Are you okay?" Asked Myers looking worried. "Yeah, im fine just a bad dream I guess." Koda looked down at his hands which looked singed.       " What happened??" he inquired showing his hands to Myers. " I am not sure... but we cant worry about that now all that noise must have attracted some unwanted attention.

After walking for another couple hours the two came across a small camp with the national symbol for trade up. " Good a post we can gather food and water for the last part of our journey. They walked up to a nearby stand that had one man standing there with his back turned to the duo." Hello sir, looking to trade for some supplies interested?" Asked Myers. The shop keep turned around and smiled at the two with an odd sinister grin. Myers looked at Koda with a face of question but shrugged it off. " Well certainly friends lets negotiate a bit shall we?" Myers walked up and with a smile laid out a small pile of coins looking up to see the mans bright eyes. " Ooh, you seem to be doing well for yourself." Laughed the man." Hows about you give up all your coins and the rest of your equipment. " Excuse me??" Myers retorted. " You heard me give me all you got!" The man barked pulling out a carving knife. Myers smiled " Sir are you crazy??" Myers put one hand on the hilt of his blade. " Back off before it gets ugly." "I should tell you the same thing." laughed the man. " NOW BOYS!" And with a single wind they were surrounded by a huge group of thief's, in the middle of them all was the thief that had escaped only days earlier. 

" Now ill say it one more time all your stuff now." Myers looked around and with a smirk said  "Bring it on then."  Before the group could close on them Myers signed and fired one bolt of energy into the air before pulling out his blade and preparing for a fight. Myers outmatched each thief one on one but in a group he was having trouble keeping on his toes. Koda did what he could but was weaponless and couldn't process the situation at first. Myers kicked the nearest thief in the chest knocking him into several others causing them to fall on top of each other. He turned to the nearest opponent and with a quick sign "Razor Tempest."  Slicing straight through the man before he even knew what had happened. Koda was swarmed after minutes of attempting to hold his own and was held by his arms by two thief's. Myers looked away for one second and was engulfed in attackers. He was kicked and punched down to one knee then restrained by multiple lackeys. The thief the two had met earlier walked up to Myers and laughed in his face before giving him a swift kick in the groin. Myers collapsed to his knees only able to look up at what was to come. " You chopped up my brother, now ill do the same to you." The thief pulled out a long blade and waved it in Myers face. " Say goodbye to this world!!"             Koda began having flashbacks of his mother....then his brother..... then Duke. His hands began glowing once again as he started shaking expeditiously almost vibrating it seemed. "No..." His eyes turned a clear white. " NO..... I WILL NOT ALLOW IT!!!" He broke free of his maulers and rushed the thief taunting Myers. With his fist fully pulled back he fired one punch into his stomach. The thief couldn't react before an after shock of Koda's punch blew a hole through the thief stomach, causing him to fall instantly. Koda stood their staring at his hands not knowing fully what had just taken place. Myers took his chance and took down the thief's restraining him. He grabbed his sword and set up back to back prepared for a fight. Myers then ,without a reason known to the others, put his sword away. The last remaining ones of the group looked at each other and began to enclose. 

Then they stopped. One by one they fell, all that was heard was a slight whisk of the air. Looking around Koda noticed all the Thief's had an arrow buried in the same spot on the head. Without moving Myers spoke out." What took you so long?" Out of the woods came a voice." Iv been watching for a while you guys about had an early exit if it wasn't for me, the true hero,." Myers let out a loud laugh" You a hero, I believe i disagree." The stranger replied" Then why else would you send out a flare for help?" " I just needed some help with the cleanup." Myers turned around to see the man who saved their skins. He was on the short side, not much fitting of his'Hero' title. "Ah there you are Pikel." Pikel raised his arms in glory " The one and only hey, who is the dead weight?" He asked pointing at Koda. "Big talk from a dwarf!" Shouted Koda. "Well this 'dwarf' just saved your sorry ass!" Koda began to confront Pikel but was stopped by Myers. "He is just joking Koda, let it be." Koda shook his head and sat down on a nearby bench. Myers shrugged and walked to greet Pikel. "Hows my favorite son of a bitch?" Asked Pikel shaking Myers hand. " Always the kind heart-ed one." Laughed Myers looking back at Koda who was looking over his hands. " "So what is his story?" Wondered Pikel. " Ill explain after we rest, follow me."
