《World Train》 World Train: A Prologue ¡°That Breathtaking World¡­ is at your fingertips¡± The blue water softly swishes and sways on the white sands of the shore. "Infinite Dreams, landscapes, desires" The waters shuffle and splash along the blue wooden hull of a World Government ship. A silent sentinel moving through the waves with purpose. "A sea that stretches for infinity... Vast possibilities... expansive Lore waiting to be discovered" In a dark room with no light sits a small sheet of paper. Its edges worn and torn, the paper no longer white. Flickering candles cast shadows on the walls, and in the dim light, a single word is scrawled on the parchment: "Doom." "But with adventure... comes hardship... and a lurking evil" The water shifts places to move for a blue hull. Massive framing and masts holding up white sails. Hundreds of Military Battleships floating through the water. The sails white, eight blue rectangles in a vertical grid with a circle at the bottom, the emblem of the World Government. Standing on the top deck is a large, very tall, muscular man. His hair was short and brown. Wearing an Admiral Badge. His face and demeanor are aware that things are about to change. On islands sit massive buildings with large flags for the World Government. Soldiers of all heights and sizes. Sounds of footsteps fill the air alongside the scent of steak. "The World Government" The town was lively. The moon floating in the air with an orange tint. The buildings lit up with many different candles and lamps. Booths set up, families dancing, and kids watching fireworks on the roof. A tall girl walking through the crowd, triple their height. Her long spiky red hair drooped over her shoulders. "The Demon Lords" A massive stone wall stretching high above the clouds. Surrounded by trees blowing in the wind. In the middle of the island and wall stood a massive gate guarded by military officers. "Heavens Wall and Gate" The sea shifts violently. Islands of unique shapes and sizes. Some with short purple and blue trees, others with glowing rocks and mountains. "An Infinite Adventure"This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. A ship floats through shallow waters with black sails. "Unique Creatures and nature" Islands of all degrees. Some covered in different coloured trees, others with trees stretching into the clouds. Massive pirate ships as big as islands with black sails. A small port island, pirates stocking their boat at the harbor as red toothed hawks fly above. In the sky, massive snakes with eyes down their back fly at mach speeds, massive cheetahs, and Lions roar as large as an office building. "Insane Natural phenomena" Massive whirlpools sucking up islands. The sound of crashing waves and strong winds. Massive tornadoes of fire glide across the water. Islands shatter and move through the water as if living beings. Tsunami waves higher than any ever seen. Clouds of unique colors and vibrancies. Above all, a massive rainbow. "below the sea" Kingdoms of fish reign in beautiful colors of red, hundreds of undiscovered corals. In the depths where no light reaches and all eyes are on you "In the clouds" Above the clouds are massive floating islands, one covered in snow, another in pretty flowers, the third hot like summer, and the fourth losing its leaves in fall. ¡°Mantra Abilities" Massive explosions of Magma, humans moving too fast for the eyes to see. Lightning, earth, and Time. A buff man with long white hair screams at the top of his lungs, reality and time shatter around him. ¡°But in the beauty lays hidden ashes in the mysterious that ravel the World" Massive underground obelisks surrounded and covered in moss, hanging vines, growing flowers and trees, a shallow creek bed swishing calmly nearby. Old torn scrolls. Massive wooden boats sit abandoned and rotting underwater. Leaves fall from trees as the sun sets in never before seen colors. "Things seen by many... and things no one''s ever understood" A pink blur bolts across the water moving faster than the eye could see, but no shockwave. "One thing¡¯s for certain¡­" Massive green waterfalls. Clouds of purple smoke. Red lightning exploding inside clouds of volcanic ash. Shockwaves echoing across the sky over a forest. Deep cracks in the earth. The wind calmly blows. A calming hum through the soft grass and green leaves. A man stands on top of Heaven¡¯s Wall. looking out across the Infinite Sea. His long pink hair blowing strongly in the winds of change. His crystal purple eyes acknowledging the cataclysm he¡¯s about to cause. "One day... this World will host an event... that will change" Hundreds of islands, all fitting the imagination of a child. Some are made of candy, others of pure sour cream. Some with mountains stacked precariously on more mountains. Trees on top of trees. An Island covered in eternal snow. A massive tower seemingly stretching beyond the clouds. Massive fleets of government ships. 6 Admirals, 10 Demon Lords, 12 Constellations. All with shadows over their eyes. "The course of History" The man with long pink hair takes a deep breath as a hand rests on his shoulder. A girl with blonde hair and blue eyes nods. They turn around and walk away. "And that day... will come sooner than you think" Heaven¡¯s Gate creaks loudly. Dirt shaking off the hinges. A massive flag hanging off of a large building overlooking the Ocean. The World Government Flag. WORLD TRAIN. To you in 30 Years His eyes were heavy as his headache boomed. He reached up and rubbed his head feeling somewhat different. He slowly sits up and looks around. People cowering around as he¡¯s confused. He looks at his hands. His knuckles covered in dry blood as he slowly rises to stand. The buildings were dark, drained of life. Storm clouds loomed overhead, blocking out the sun. People cowering and rushing away from him as he takes a step forward. Almost losing his balance as he takes another step. Turning to look at one of the people looking at him. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± His voice was deep and grungy as his throat was brash. Slowly walking over and leaning on the door frame. Stumbling in and sitting at the bar on a stool. ¡°Give me a small glass of water¡­¡± The bartender nods as he coughs a bit. Shocked when someone brave enough sits beside him. ¡°They finally got ya, ay?... It¡¯s about time Yuma¡­¡± Yuma looks at the man recognizing Yuma as his name. ¡°And who are you?¡± The man laughs a bit. ¡°Kuza¡­ Kuza Akabane¡­ and you my friend¡­ are Yuma¡­ although¡­ I never got your last name before they erased your memory¡­¡± Yuma is slightly shocked and turns to look at Kuza. ¡°Erased¡­ my memory?... So what now¡­ You gonna tell me you wanna travel the World or something¡­ Memory wiping doesn¡¯t exist¡­ it¡¯s impossible¡­¡± Kuza sighs. ¡°Yeah, because your Memory was erased is why you don¡¯t believe it exists you idiot¡­ And for your reference¡­ I do wanna travel the World!¡± Yuma bursts into laughter as he grabs his glass of water. Drinking it to stop himself from choking. ¡°Yeah right!... What World would you travel exactly?... The stupid ruler of this island would stop you before you even got a chance¡­ and for all we know, this little island Nation here¡­ could be all that¡¯s out there¡­ it could just be the ocean around the entire globe for all we know!¡± Kuza is shocked. ¡°After I heard on the news about a massive sea spanning for infinity¡­ I¡¯ve wanted to connect every single island together!... Under one massive alliance!... I know I can do it, we just have to make it to heaven''s gate! I grew up staring at the newspaper every day. I¡¯m not gonna die on this rock like my parents did.¡± Yuma stands up slamming his fist on the table. ¡°You have fun with your day dreamin¡¯¡­ But one day¡­ You¡¯ll come to realize that this world¡­ ain¡¯t nothing but a bunch of stragglers fighting to prove themselves in a society where nobody gives a thought¡­ Trust me¡­ Reality strikes hardest when you¡¯re at your weakest¡± Yuma starts to walk out as Kuza stands up. Clenching his fist. ¡°I know you wanna do something with your life Yuma!... Don¡¯t set your dreams aside because of some¡­ Restriction!... The strongest resistance comes just before something great!... you know that!... So tell me¡­ what¡¯s your goal!?¡± There¡¯s a silence as Yuma stops walking. ¡°Thought provoking question¡­ how do you say we persevere through something we can¡¯t even see?¡± Kuza is slightly shocked before smirking. ¡°We take down the King'''' Yuma stared at his hands, unsure if the blood on his knuckles was truly his own. Something inside him felt... wrong. Like a puzzle with missing pieces, he couldn''t tell where he ended and this "Yuma" began. Yuma loses his smile. Walking out of the shop.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. ¡°Have fun with that¡­ Kuza¡± ----- Yuma walks down the street as blood drips from his fists, Staggering into a shop. Turning the corner and stumbling into the bathroom. His eyes widen as he looks at himself in the mirror. His eyes were a light purple and he had pale skin. His pink hair was cut short with two small horns over his eyes. He looked at his mouth as his eyes blurred. Normal teeth looked back at him as he smirked. He shook his head as he walked out of the bathroom. A girl walked over to him, grabbing his shoulder, and sat him down. ¡°What are you-¡± The girl doesn¡¯t respond and touches his shoulder. A green glow forms around him as his injuries slowly heal. The bruises fading, the blood drying up. ¡°You¡­ Healed me¡­!?¡± She shushes him and whispers. ¡°My Ipulatie Mantra allows me to heal others¡­ but keep a secret... Now go¡± Yuma quickly nods and walks away. The girl bounced several coins in her hands that she swiped from his pockets. ----- Several suspicious people sit at a table. Looking at each other. The room was dimly lit, the table dark. Windows looked outside on the storm clouds, on the other side of the room was a bounty bulletin board. ¡°I heard that Idiot Yuma was at it again?¡± The one at the end of the table nods. ¡°Yes¡­ He may not realize it yet¡­ But that boy isn¡¯t normal¡­ He¡¯s everything but¡­ Pink hair¡­ horns¡­ Pointy ears?... What exactly is he?¡± There was silence as one took a deep breath. ¡°Whatever he is, he has to be taken care of before he makes it to Heavens Gate-¡± Another of the group interrupts. ¡°IF he makes it to the gate¡­ remember¡­ he¡¯s only a Cadet¡­ He¡¯s 21¡­ So don¡¯t put too much pressure on him¡­ We¡¯d still need permission to kill a 21 year old unless we want an Admiral-¡± The King interrupts the meeting. ¡°If this meeting is about the Yuma boy¡­ I don¡¯t care what the World government says¡­ Execute him before he has the chance to leave this island¡± The King stares at them with seemingly no emotions. The meeting is dismissed as a bulletin board comes into view again. A paper slapped right in the middle with Yuma¡¯s picture on it. A ?150 Enni bounty Dead only poster. ----- Yuma walks down the street as several officers circle him. Yuma glares at them as they all rush forward. ¡°Not even gonna say anything?¡± Yuma blocks one of their batons and grabs it from him. Bashing it against the man¡¯s head. Stomping his face into the ground. One of the officers points a gun at him and threatens. ¡°I will shoot!¡± Yuma looks unfazed as he walks towards him. Dropping the baton; His only defense. The officer looks down at the baton in shock that he dropped it. Yuma appeared behind him with a gun to the officer''s head. The officer looks down as Yuma had stolen his gun. ¡°I don¡¯t care if you shoot¡­ But hesitating for a moment after starting the fight¡­ Is the reason you were destined to lose¡­ When you pick a fight¡­ you must be fearless in the face of them¡­ You were the one who declared a fight¡­ So you shouldn¡¯t be afraid of the one you picked a fight on¡­¡± Several officers rush at Yuma. Yuma kicks the officer to the ground and points the gun. Squinting one eye and shooting several of the remaining officers. Standing dominantly over top of their bodies. ¡°Declare only fights you can win¡­ If you don¡¯t think you can¡­ then don¡¯t even try¡­¡± Yuma drops the gun and starts to walk away. Stopping before speaking. ¡°In this world¡­ Even with my memories wiped by your stupid ¡®King¡¯... I can confidently say one thing¡­¡± Yuma looks at the Officer who had the gun. ¡°You are the most free¡­ Those who are brave enough to stand in the face of danger¡­ are the ones that are the most free¡± Yuma walks away. Kuza looks through the window of the nearby bar. ¡°So he¡¯s your friend?¡± Kuza looks at the other person sitting at his table. ¡°Yeah¡­ You healed him just earlier today didn¡¯t you?¡± The girl smiles, her long blond hair drooping over her shoulders. ¡°Just wanted to make sure, babe¡± ----- Yuma walks into his apartment, his eyes blankly stare through the house. ¡°I¡¯m tired¡­ Tomorrow should be interesting¡­ Let me at that measly King¡± Yuma glares out the apartment window. Looking up at a fancy government building on top of the hill. ¡°I¡¯ll kill him¡­ so then I can finally give this country the freedom they deserve!¡± A single mans strength Yuma looks around at his fellow cadets. Everyone is ready for inspection. They stood in long rows in an open courtyard. Clouds circling ominously above them. Yuma leans forward tiredly before standing straight up. Several officers rush into the room. The King towering over everyone as he walks in. ¡°Good morning, Cadets¡­ Tensions rise between us due to the sudden increase in fights among the citizens¡­ And there¡¯s one root cause¡­ The Rebels faction that was formed earlier this month¡­ We told you that if you found anyone suspicious to take them out¡­ right¡­ Cadet?¡± The King stands in front of Yuma who has a seemingly emotionless stare. ¡°You just caused your own downfall, sir¡­¡± The King is slightly shocked as Yuma smiles for the first time ever. Pointing a gun in the king¡¯s face. Cocking the gun as everyone rushes around screaming. ¡°We win¡­ Get on your knees and beg for your Life¡­ Today¡­ marks your final day as King of this small island country in the southern district of zone 3: Wanter sea¡± The King is in disbelief as he falls to his knees. ¡°To bring about revolution and thus freedom to this Nation¡­ We must destroy everything you¡¯ve built¡­ And start over¡± The King¡¯s eyes widen as he tackles Yuma. A bullet shot echoes out as The King lands on top of Yuma. Blood poured from the King¡¯s forehead. Yuma pushed the King off of him as his eyes went white. Standing in front of his fellow Cadet¡¯s. Pointing his gun at them. ¡°And jumpstarting our reset of this nation¡­ starts with those who¡¯ve sworn to protect it¡± Several Cadet¡¯s rush at Yuma. Yuma quickly spins the gun around as he suddenly has two. Quickly firing them back and forth in quick succession. The Cadet¡¯s dodge the bullets as Yuma fires the weapon with a blank stare. Several Cadets appear behind him. Yuma turns around and blocks their swords with his arm. Grabbing one of them and throwing them into another. Jumping up and punching another to the ground. Several guns fire from the remaining Cadets. Yuma landed on his foot and quickly spun around. Kicking the bullets away from him. Landing on the ground with a death glare. An ominous pink and red aura behind him. ¡°Your turn¡± He jumps forward and dodges a sword attack. Spinning around and elbowing one of them in the face. Continuing the momentum into a punch. His horns glowing as he jumps on top of a building. Looking out at the kingdom. Clenching his teeth and releasing a heart tearing roar. The entire island shakes as Yuma looks around. ¡°Let the Raid on the Castle¡­ Begin!¡± Several explosions go off around the town as Yuma smiles. Kuza sits at the bar and sits up, yawning. The ground violently shakes as explosions rain. Kuza¡¯s eyes widen as he looks outside. ¡°What¡¯s going on!?¡± smoke rises in the air. ¡°Your friend may have a ?150 bounty¡­ but you have a ?50 bounty! And it¡¯s mine!¡± Kuza turns around as the bartender bashes a chair against Kuza¡¯s head. Kuza hits the ground as his eyes get blurry. ¡°Why are you doing this?¡± The bartender smirks. ¡°With the chaos of the city caused by your friend¡­ I can finally let loose and take your Bounty! I¡¯ve been wanting to do this forever!¡± The bartender starts laughing as Kuza kicks his legs. The bartender falls but catches himself. Kicking Kuza in the face. Kuza falls back as blood pours out of his nose. His eyes blurry as the bartender stands over him. Pointing a gun at him.Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. The girl who healed Yuma dodges an attack and knocks someone out. Quickly spinning into another punch. She smiles and lifts her hand as several men run at her. ¡°You don¡¯t know¡­ the true strength of my Mantra¡± she clenches her fists as all of them combust into flame. She smiles and backhands someone trying to sneak up on her. Looking over at the capitol building. ¡°That Yuma boy actually did it¡­ Better go and find Kuza¡± She turns around and runs towards the bar. Kuza looks up the barrel of the gun in shock, trying to think of a way to retaliate. Unable to due to the circumstances. The man¡¯s arm holding the gun disappears. The bartender screams in pain as he¡¯s kicked into the wall. Kuza smiling and relaxing as he regains his bearings. ¡°Cani¡­ I¡¯m glad you made it¡­ I would have been a goner¡­¡± Cani turns to look at Kuza. ¡°You really are a helpless idiot¡­¡± -Cani Shisha - ?1,001,500- ¡°You¡¯re somewhat evil¡­¡± Cani turns around and gets off of Kuza. ¡°You have to become like this if you wanna make it past Heaven''s Gate like I did¡­ But I quickly retreated after learning the truth of the World¡­ I couldn¡¯t handle it¡± She stretches her hand up and helps Kuza up off the ground. His eyes no longer blurry. ¡°I take it you know more about what¡¯s happening then me, babe?¡± Cani looks in the direction of the Capitol Building. ¡°It¡¯s only a gist¡­ but I feel like it¡¯s that friend of yours¡­ He¡¯s a cadet ain¡¯t he?¡± Kuza¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°That would give him direct access to the King!¡± Cani nods slowly. ¡°We have to stop him before he blows up the whole island and everyone here¡­ including us¡± Kuza nods slowly. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Yuma looks at the man in the courtyard. The man had long red hair sticking up on the right, a bandana wrapped around to cover his right eye. His eyes glowing dark red. ¡°And who are you?¡± The man stays silent and draws his sword. ¡°Fysiek Mantra: Magma Dragonborn!¡± The man clenches his teeth as claws grow over his arms. Claws forming as his arms look like a dragon''s arm. A scale mask forming over his mouth. ¡°Mantra?... You use a similar ability to the one girl my friend is dating¡­¡± The man appears beside Yuma and slamming him into a nearby building. Yuma cough¡¯s up blood and his eyes go blank. The man landed on top of another building''s roof. ¡°Give up¡­ You can¡¯t fight a Mantra user like me¡­ especially one with a ?1,578,000 bounty like me¡­¡± Yuma stands up with a shadow over his eyes. Jumping up at the man. Yuma punches him but the man blocks him easily. ¡°Who cares about this¡­ Mantra!... I¡¯ll fight without it!¡± Yuma spins around and kicks him. Jumping after him and punching him into the ground. The man slides and takes a deep inhale. ¡°Fysiek Mantra: Magma Dragons breath!¡± a massive wall of magma and fire erupts towards Yuma. Yuma suddenly rolls on the ground as Kuza gets burned badly by the wall of flames. Yuma¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Kuza!¡± Yuma jumps forward, punching the Man into the ground. Running over and kicking him in the chest. The man coughs up blood as Yuma punches him in the face. A massive crater forms as the man thinks. ¡®He doesn¡¯t have¡­ Mantra¡­ How is he¡­ This strong?¡¯ The man kicks Yuma away then punches him into the ground knocking him out cold with a right hook. ¡°Hey, stop picking on someone already unconscious¡­ Your fight is with me now¡± The man turns around. ¡°Dragon King of Netharia¡­ Nezxa Kaj¡­¡± His red eyes glare at her. His hair turned a magma orange, red, and yellow. A steam rising off of him. -¡°Magma Dragon King¡± Nezxa Kaj - ?1,578,000- ¡°But I don¡¯t care how high your bounty¡­ You hurt my friends so you¡¯re gonna die by my hands!¡± Under that tree Cani slides along the ground and jumps out of the way. Dodging a punch from Nezxa. Quickly spinning around and stomping the ground. A massive wave of pressurized air exploded towards Nezxa. He screams and throws his fists forward. A massive explosion rings out. Cani flying through the smoke and kicking him from above. The ground and buildings around her shatter. The man coughs up blood as he jumps away to avoid another attack. ¡°What in the world is your Mantra!?¡± Cani lands calmly with a smile. ¡°Why should I tell you?¡± Nezxa points his palm towards Yuma and Kuza. Glowing a bright yellow. Cani¡¯s eyes widen as she jumps forward. Grabbing them and running out of sight as a massive explosion of flame erupts into the sky. Cani puts the two down and heals them. Thinking to herself. ¡®My Mantra only allows me to manipulate molecules¡­ So how can I beat this guy?¡¯ Yuma sits up as does Kuza. Cani is surprised they can even move at all. Both of them looked at her. ¡°Let¡¯s take him out together¡± Nezxa walks forward glaring around and looking for them. ¡°Come out and stop hiding from me¡­¡± In an instant Cani, Kuza, and Yuma appear around him. He glances between them and blocks kicks from both Yuma and Kuza. Cani smiles as she punches him from behind. Nezxa catching himself and glaring. Yuma appears in front of him and kicks him in the face. Nexza stumbles backwards as Kuza punches him back to Yuma. Yuma punches him as he stumbles back and falls over. Cani jumping from above. Kuza and Yuma flying in from the sides for another attack. ¡°Volcanic Eruption!¡± hundreds of massive spikes of magma explode from his body. Yuma slides back as Cani barely dodges the spike. Kuza coughing up blood. The spikes had punctured his entire body. His body fell to the ground as Cani¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°K¡­ K¡­ KUZA!!!¡± The air becomes violently dense as she glows brightly. She jumps at Nezxa and sends him flying through several buildings. An ominous glow radiating off of Cani. Her eyes go blank as she falls to the ground. Yuma in disbelief as smoke rises from the entire island. Yuma is the only one conscious. ¡°This country¡­ has been cleansed...¡± Yuma walks over to Kuza¡¯s near-dead body. His eyes wide in disbelief. Kuza¡¯ body was covered in spike injuries, deep wounds, and burns. ¡°You said you wanted to travel the World?... I promise, I will connect the World for you¡­ Even if I have to sacrifice myself in the process!... Those Government fools won¡¯t know what¡¯s coming for them!¡± Yuma rises standing and glancing around as several people surround him. Yuma clenches his fists and jumps at them in rage. Punching one to the ground and turning to kick another. Cani rushes past Yuma with a dying Kuza in arm. Yuma gritted his teeth. ¡°HOW COULD YOU KILL HIM!¡± Yuma punches one of them. Elbowing another as tears flow. Spinning from the momentum to land a right hook to the jaw on another. Tears flowing like waterfalls out of his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s not like I cared about that Idiot anyway¡± Several more of the few remaining guards stand in front of Yuma. Yuma looks away as he tries not to cry. Turning to glare at them. ¡°I¡¯ll get you later!¡± Yuma jumps away to find Cani. Cani leans against the tree. Slowly placing a gravestone under the shade of the leaves. The tree and gravestone sat alone on top of a hill overlooking the town. The town below billows in fire and smoke, dark storm clouds thunder above. Yuma lands on the grass and looks at the gravestone. ¡°He¡­ died in my arms shortly after we arrived here¡­¡± Yuma looks at the gravestone. ¡°At least he got the proper burial he deserved¡­ He didn¡¯t have to participate in the rebellion against the King¡­ But did and ended up passing away¡­ Before we knew it he was gone¡­ and it was my fault¡­¡± Cani looks at Yuma who clenches his fist. ¡°No it¡¯s not¡­ he was the one who made the choice to participate¡­¡± Yuma turns away from the tree. Looking out at the currently collapsing country. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t started the attack then he wouldn¡¯t be dead¡­¡± A determined glare radiates from Yuma. ¡°For his sake¡­ I will unite this world under Freedom¡± Yuma stands, looking out over the island. His heart racing as the wind calmly blows his shirt. ¡°Freedom without order is chaos¡­ and Order without freedom is manipulation¡± Cani looks up at Yuma.This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. ¡°Do you understand what that actually means Yuma?¡± Yuma takes a deep exhale. ¡°There is no such thing as true peace¡­ there¡¯s always some conflict¡­ I don¡¯t understand these Mortal shackles¡­ Why is humanity cursed to eternal conflict?... Why is there always a good and a bad?¡± Cani looks away and at Kuza¡¯s grave. ¡°Balance¡­ is something that can¡¯t be built naturally, it must be created¡­ you can¡¯t have good unless there¡¯s bad somewhere in there¡­ not everyone¡¯s completely perfect¡­ no one¡¯s bad without a hidden good in them¡­ and no one''s good without a bad they hide from society to come off as perfect¡­ it¡¯s the little details you don¡¯t try to notice¡­ especially in someone''s tone or movements¡­ Do you understand now¡­? Nothing will ever be perfect good¡­ there will always be a sinister force behind the good¡­ The only true good that exists in this world¡­ is Jesus¡­¡± Yuma looks at Cani. ¡°I didn¡¯t know you were religious, Cani?¡± Cani scoffs and looks away. ¡°My dad was a pastor¡± Yuma looks out at the collapsing country. ¡°Hey Cani¡­ you said you¡¯ve been to the Infinite sea before?¡± Cani looks at him. A determined glare radiating. ¡°Yeah, why?¡± Yuma looks out at the Ocean. ¡°Can you take me there?... Freeing this island isn¡¯t enough for me anymore¡­ I must free the world from those Political frauds who call themselves the World Government¡­ for Kuza¡± Cani is slightly taken aback. Confused on how he knows about the World Government. Sighing and standing up. ¡°To get there¡­ you¡¯re gonna need a boat¡­ We need to steal one from the main dock¡­¡± Yuma nods, preparing to leave for the Port. ¡°Do you have any sort of plan, Yuma?¡± Yuma prepares to speak. ¡°Don¡¯t say you¡¯re gonna run in there¡­ punch some people and leave¡­¡± Yuma sighs. ¡°Then, what¡¯s your plan?¡± Cani gasps a bit and sighs. ¡°Fine¡­ We run in there¡­ Punch some people¡­ then steal one of their smaller ships¡­¡± Yuma starts walking. Cani rushed to catch up. The gravestone under the tree watching as they walk away. Yuma walks down the stone path. A wall to his right and the ocean to his left. A dock filled with smaller boats. He no longer sported an emotionless glare. But now seeming sad as several people turn to look at him. ¡°Hey, You aren¡¯t supposed to be here!... The King will kill you!¡± Yuma looks at the boats. ¡°That one will do¡­¡± The men shout. ¡°Hey-!¡± Yuma looks at them. Walking over slowly. ¡°You should probably stay quiet¡­ Haven¡¯t you been noticing the explosions¡­? that puny King is dead¡­ and we¡¯re here to steal a ship so we can get to Heaven''s gate¡­¡± The guards get mad. ¡°What kind of mad lad are you!?... You do realize that since you killed the King, this country is in Chaos¡­ So if you don¡¯t make it to Heaven''s Gate then you have nowhere else to go!¡± Yuma jumps at them punching one into the ground with brute strength. Glaring at the other over his shoulder. ¡°And what makes you think we won¡¯t make it there?¡± The other guy prepares to flee as Yuma kicks him to the ground. Grabbing his face and throwing him into the water. ¡°Come on Yuma, we have to go!... More people are coming because of the noise you made!¡± Yuma looks up. Cani is already lowering the mast and preparing to untie the ship. Yuma nods and climbs up the rope ladder. Standing on the deck with her. ¡°Well?... Set sa-¡± A massive explosion goes off beside the boat sending the two flying. Cani turns to look as a World government boat floats towards the island. ¡°Fire again!... Don¡¯t let them leave the island!¡± Yuma turns as a crowd rushes at them from the island. The Government boat from the sea. Cani stepped forward. ¡°You said you were gonna complete Kuza¡¯s goal of connecting the entire Infinite sea under one alliance?... Then you need someone willing to help you¡­ Give the word¡­ Captain¡± Yuma is slightly shocked as Cani cracks her knuckles. ¡°Fine then, do as you please Cani¡­ Just remember¡­ that¡¯s the World government you¡¯re dealing with¡± Cani forms a maniacal smile. ¡°Yeah?... and?... If we wanna unite this world¡­ We should be the ones to make the first move¡­and declare War against the foul World government goonies¡­ Steer the ship out of the view of the crowd, I¡¯ll take care of them myself¡± Yuma goes to stop her as she bolts away cracking the floorboards. ¡°Guess that Mantra stuff really helps¡­¡± Yuma goes to find the steering wheel. Cani bolting towards the Government vessel. ¡°Fire!¡± Cani lands on the ship beside the Lieutenant commander. Smiling as she throws a pole into his face. The pole of which she grabbed off the ground. Quickly jumping and kicking him through the deck. Water spilling into the boat as she heats up the air around her. ¡°There¡¯s a reason they call me the flame Princess¡± The wooden deck of the ship combusts into flames as everyone rushes around screaming. ¡°So you have the ability to manipulate molecules?¡± Cani recognizes his voice as Nezxa slams his fist through the ship. Shattering it into hundreds of pieces. Magma exploding everywhere. ¡°What are you-¡± Nezxa lands beside Cani who prepares to fight. Both floating on a remaining piece of wood. ¡°Don¡¯t worry¡­ I¡¯m on your side¡­ I was only fighting so I could protect my ¡®King¡¯¡­ I was blindsided because I hid my identity for too long¡­ But after watching you guys fight¡­ I¡¯m feeling pumped up again¡­¡± Nezxa looks at Cani. ¡°Let me join you on your way to Heaven''s Gate¡± Cani¡¯s eyes widened, grabbing him by the shirt and holding him up in the air. ¡°Why should I let you join when you killed my Boyfriend!!¡± Nezxa lifts his hands as if he was surrendering. ¡°Trust me¡­ You know how to get to Heaven¡¯s gate as you¡¯ve been there¡­ I can act as your weapon so you don¡¯t have to fight at all until we get to Heaven¡¯s gate¡­ but once we get there, I¡¯m leaving¡­ Travel the Infinite sea on my own¡± Cani puts him down. ¡°An alliance then?¡± Nezxa nods slowly as Cani grits her teeth and jumps back to the boat. Nezxa sighing and following suit. Off to Jayan! Yuma locks eyes with Nezxa. Glaring at him because he killed Kuza. ¡°So you wanna join us¡­ In an alliance¡­?¡± Nezxa nods as the two lock eyes and sparks fly. ¡°Well then¡­ Why don¡¯t you take your pretty boy face and travel to Heaven''s Gate yourself with your BIG BOUNTY and all!¡± Nezxa blankly stares. ¡°You got me there¡­ But trust me¡­ I won¡¯t be able to get there by myself¡­ I wanna see my family again¡­ I promise¡­ As soon as we make it past Heaven''s gate, I¡¯ll leave you alone¡­ Please¡± Yuma looks away and sighs as the wind blows. ¡°Set course for the next island closest to Heaven¡¯s gate¡­ This World shall understand my pain¡­ And to do so, I must strip them down to their bare bones and take them out myself!¡± Cani nods as Nezxa laughs at Yuma''s height of 5 foot 2. ¡°Aye Aye, captain¡± Yuma sits in a small room under the deck thinking to himself. Cani walking past and stopping. ¡°There you are¡­ What are you doing down here? Some help cleaning the deck would be nice Yuma¡± Yuma looks at Cani. ¡°What exactly is Heaven''s gate?... What is Mantra exactly?¡± Cani scoffs in shock. ¡°What? We¡¯re helping you travel to the Infinite sea, When you don¡¯t know about Mantra OR Heavens Gate-¡­ Oh right¡­ Your Memory was wiped yesterday¡­¡± Cani sits down beside Yuma. ¡°I¡¯ll start with Heaven''s Gate¡­ Heaven''s gate is the only way to enter the infinite Sea and it¡¯s heavily guarded by The World Government¡­¡± Yuma raises an eyebrow. ¡°If the sea is infinite in all directions¡­ Why is Heaven''s Gate the only way in?¡± Cani sighs and looks up. ¡°Shortly after the Infinite sea appeared seemingly out of nowhere¡­ The World Government was formed and they built a wall to stop people from Exploring¡­¡± Yuma is confused. ¡°I¡¯m confused¡­ Why would they build a wall to keep them in?¡± Cani stands up. ¡°They¡¯re ruthless¡­ backstabbing-¡± Yuma stops her. ¡°So what¡¯s beyond that gate?¡± Cani sits back down. ¡°Mantra¡­ It¡¯s a type of ability you get granted based on your genetics¡­ There have been 4 types discovered¡­ Uitsoten Mantra¡­ Allows the user to Emit anything based on the Element they Receive¡­ But they risk losing their physical body¡± Yuma realizes and gulps.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. ¡°Then there¡¯s Ipulatie¡­ which me and Nezxa use.. It allows the user to Morph their body or look like a certain creature permanently, Including Lizardmen¡­ and¡­¡± Cani stops herself from throwing up. ¡°Catwoman¡­ but risk losing their sanity¡± Yuma slightly chuckles. Cani gritting her teeth. ¡°Then there¡¯s Fysiek¡­ Allowing the user to gain transformations as they master their abilities¡­ Each transformation has special techniques¡­¡± Yuma nods slowly. ¡°And lastly¡­ The most rare, Isueel¡­ Allowing its user to manipulate their surroundings with their eyes including making illusions and infinite nightmares¡­ But risk damaging their eyes permanently¡± Yuma nods. ¡°What do you think I''m gonna be when I go through Heaven''s Gate?¡± Cani goes to speak but gets interrupted. ¡°Hope it¡¯s not Ipulatie¡­ I heard the transformation from Human to creature they are designated is very painful¡­¡± Yuma stands up. Nezxa looked at him with the two locked eyes. ¡°But the question of what your Mantra will be should be saved for later¡­ for right now, you should focus on training your Physical body so you don¡¯t rely too much on your Abilities¡­¡± Cani nods in agreement reluctantly. ¡°Well, we better get back to cleaning the Boat¡­ We can¡¯t travel on an old, dirty, wooden vessel¡­ More or less I can¡¯t¡­ Don¡¯t know about you guys though¡­¡± Nezxa wipes his nose. ¡°Yeah, messes with my allergies¡­¡± Nezxa scrunches his face and turns away. Sneezing a hole through the wall of the boat unwillingly. ¡°Oh¡­ Sorry¡± The two punch each other in the face. Yuma sliding back on the white sandy shores, bright green plants blow calmly in the breeze. A bright blue sky above as Nezxa jumps forward. Punching toward Yuma with a magma covered fist. Yuma blocking him and grabbing Nezxa¡¯s shoulders and kneeing him in the stomach. Spinning around and kicking him in the face. Nezxa slides back engulfing his fists in magma again. ¡°Magma field!!¡± Nezxa slams his fists into the ground as magma explodes from underneath. Yuma jumping between the magma pillars and jumping at Nezxa. Nezxa looks up and Yuma slams the bottom of his foot into Nezxa¡¯s face. ¡°Not smart¡± Nezxa explodes into a ball of magma sending Yuma sliding back. Sweat rolling down his face as he rushes to catch his breath. ¡°That was close¡­¡± Cani runs over and stands between the two of them. ¡°You two have been training for a whole day now¡­ and I have some news you might wanna hear¡± Nezxa and Yuma look at her. ¡°I did some calculations¡­ and the next island¡­ Jayan¡­ is only a day¡¯s length away¡± Both of them are slightly shocked. ¡°Already!?¡± Cani nods. ¡°Yup¡­ if you forgot¡­ we¡¯ve been traveling for a whole day now so¡­ once we leave Jayan¡­ the next island should be only a day¡¯s length away instead of 2 days¡± Yuma nods as he glares. ¡°Let¡¯s get going shall we?¡± Nezxa walks over and looks at Yuma. ¡°You aren¡¯t ready¡­ you¡¯re struggling to keep up with me while fighting so you¡¯re not ready¡­ we don¡¯t know what awaits us on that island¡­ for all we know there could be a riot¡­¡± Cani sighs. ¡°He¡¯s right¡­ if you can¡¯t hang Nezxa with a 1.57 million Enni bounty¡­ then you¡¯d die against the Demon lords with 10 billion Enni bounties¡­¡± Yuma clenches his fist. ¡°Take me to Jayan¡­ I don¡¯t care what risks there are¡­¡± Yuma glares at Cani. ¡°The faster I get to Heaven¡¯s Gate¡­ the faster I can free this world from the wretched Government¡± Nezxa gulps as Cani sighs. ¡°Fine¡­ but if you die¡­ it¡¯s on you¡­ I¡¯ll continue without you¡­¡± Yuma pauses. ¡°Wait, why?¡± Cani turns around and walks away. New bounty posters in her hand. Two poster¡¯s standing out. One with only the last name ¡®Shisha¡¯ visible. Obviously over 1.5 million Enni. The other giving Yuma a ?1,000 Enni dead only bounty. Kinsha Akaba The boat floats to the sandy beaches of the island. Seemingly no one in sight as the three of them look around. ¡°This place seems deserted¡­¡± Yuma agrees with Cani. ¡°Let¡¯s search for materials and food so we can make it to the next island without worrying about running out of food and what-not¡­¡± Nezxa nods and jumping down on the sand. Cani afterwards followed by Yuma. The three of them walk down the crumbled and fallen apart street. Yuma was slightly shocked. ¡°This place looks devastated¡­¡± Cani agrees as they hear someone. All three of them rushed to hide behind a wall of a crumbling building. Someone walking down the street in ripped up clothes. Nezxa hearing something. ¡°I hear something in that building over there!¡± Nezxa runs across the street. Cani shouting silently. ¡°Wait!¡± The person notices them. ¡°Hey! You aren¡¯t supposed to be here!¡± The man rushes at them as Yuma jumps out. Shouting at Cani. ¡°You follow Nezxa and see what he¡¯s talking about! I¡¯ll deal with these guys!¡± She nods and follows him into a building. Yuma kicks the man and punches him to the ground. Running into the building before more people see him. Nezxa slams open the door as a girl lays on the floor hiding behind some furniture. ¡°Hi little one¡­¡± The girl hides further behind the furniture. ¡°I¡¯m not little¡­ I¡¯m 16¡­ What do you want with me, you creep?¡± Nezxa signs and relaxes his shoulders and stands up. ¡°I was probably scaring you¡­ Sorry¡­¡± The girl stays silent and looks over the arm of the chair she hid behind. Her cat ears matched her bright orange hair and purple eyes. Nezxa smiling and relaxing. ¡°You know¡­ You remind me of my daughter¡­ except for the ears and tail¡­¡± The girl perks up a bit. ¡°What¡¯s your name kid?¡± She hides a bit again. ¡°Kinsha¡­¡± Nezxa nods slowly as Cani angrily drags him out of the room and into the hallway.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. ¡°NO! We are not getting a young girl to bring with us!... Nonetheless a-¡± Cani tries to stop herself from puking. ¡°Cat¡­ Girl¡­¡± Cani gags as Nezxa laughs. Turning around to look as Kinsha stands behind them. ¡°Technically it¡¯s up to the captain whether we take her or not¡­ and don¡¯t you want a girl you can talk to instead of two boy¡¯s you hate?¡± Cani is kinda shocked but he has a good point. She sighs as Yuma runs past. ¡°They¡¯re too many of them¡­ they¡¯re on my tail¡­ grab the girl and jump! They¡¯ll kill her too!¡± Cani is shocked as she watches Yuma body slam the 3rd floor window. Cani gagging as she grabs the girl and jumps out the window. Nezxa spreads a wall of magma to stop the men as he follows suit out the window. Nezxa catches up to the running Yuma. ¡°You know you didn¡¯t have to bodyslam the window, right?... I would''ve killed them with my Magma dragon apocalypse-¡± Yuma interrupts him. ¡°It would attract too much attention¡­ Something we DON¡¯T need right now¡­ I also didn¡¯t feel like committing first degree manslaughter yet¡± Nezxa is shocked Yuma thought that far ahead. The 4 of them land on the boat as Cani puts Kinsha down. Quickly stepping back as Yuma walks over. ¡°Why are you so disgusted by this young lady, huh?... think about what Kuza would say¡± Cani is shocked as Yuma laughs. The young girl hides behind Nezxa¡¯s legs, surprising all three of them. Yuma was laughing hysterically. ¡°YOU HAVE A NEW DAUGHTER!!¡± Nezxa smiles calmly while patting her head causing her tail to wag. Yuma looking at the island. ¡°Cani¡­ Take us to the next island¡± Cani nods and grabs the wheel. ¡°Conquest island¡­ here we come!¡± The boat floats just off the coast of the island as they all jump down to the harbor of the island. No one takes notice of their arrival as Yuma sighs. ¡°So¡­ How long should we stay here?¡± There was silence as Yuma turned to Cani and the new girl. ¡°I don¡¯t know what will happen here so¡­ Can¡­ you stay here and watch the girl¡­ our ship is out in the open and I don¡¯t wanna risk someone stealing the stuff we just got¡± Cani nods and helps Kinsha back onto the boat as Yuma and Nezxa walk around town. Cani sits down at a table after giving Kinsha some food and sighing. ¡°I know I was kinda mean to you from the start¡­ Sorry about that¡­ It¡¯s not that I hate you in specific¡­ it¡¯s the thought of the transformation into a cat person must have been painful.¡± Kinsha nods and takes a bite of the food in awe of its deliciousness. Taking more bites. ¡°But¡­ only people who¡¯ve come through Heaven¡¯s Gate are able to use Abilities?... How did you get yours?¡± Kinsha looks at Cani. ¡°That¡¯s what those massive doors and that wall are called?... Yeah¡­ I came through them just a week ago¡­ My head still hurts from these stupid ears¡­¡± There was silence as Cani turned away. ¡°Is that so?... Do you know WHY you¡¯re here and not in Heaven¡¯s¡­ In your Hometown?¡± The girl shakes her head. ¡°I only remember being a slave to a corporation of an unknown name¡­ it was like Utsuuad¡­ or something¡­ I managed to escape Colonial Ikati and made it here on a vessel returning beyond Heaven¡¯s gate or whatever you called it¡­¡± Cani is slightly shocked. ¡°Colonial Ikati?... He¡¯s one of the 10 Demon Lords!... How did you escape him?¡± Kinsha looks away. ¡°I didn¡¯t really escape¡­ He just really liked how good I was at cleaning¡­ and he let me go¡­ But I ended up getting on the wrong ship¡­ came here instead of home¡­¡± Cani nods slowly. ¡°Well that¡¯s strange¡­ but¡­ eat up¡­ you¡¯re too skinny and that¡¯s not healthy¡­¡± Kinsha nods and takes another bite. ¡°So good!!¡±
