16 Thoughts

(A/N: Sorry for the late update, I was just just not in the right state of mind to write for these past few weeks for personal reasons.

But just so you know, this fanfic was already planned out, from the arcs, plots and until the ending. So you don't need to think that this fanfic would eventually be dropped.

All I have to do was to write and add a little bit here and there, I already planned this all out except for the wives/harém. With that said, let's get into the story.)

======================================

Back at the stage.

Aron keep on engaging wave after wave of battle maniac and skillful amazons. The amazons around just seems to be putting their attention on Aron. He found it strange at first, but after reading their minds? He has no words to describe them but "crazy".

The amazons don't plan to team-up with each other and defeat him. It's just that they are attracted to the strong and wanted to fight him themselves, resulting in this wave after wave of amazons attacking him.

But aron won't let the pressure of more than a dozen of amazons attacking him from all sides, he did not let his guard down even once and reciprocated all attacks that were thrown at him.

He's getting more skillful in battle and he got used to all these movements, his adrenaline rushed into his body along with his zenkai, making him completely awake and wary in the battle because of the heat and excitement he's currently feeling.

...

Meanwhile at the other side of the stage, Diana can also be seen engaging against the amazons that taregetted her. She incapacitate each and every opponent that would come at her.

She did it easily and skillfuly and at the same time, she's also controlling her strength in order to prevent herself on inflicting serious injuries against her sisters whenever she counter attack.

Diana's fighting style was very skillful, it can be called beautiful but deadly. She moves swiftly and smoothly, like she was dancing in the battlefield itself. It's not even an exaggeration to call it an art.

This can be considered as easy for diana, as the only people who can currently pose a challenge to her were Mala and her Mother in terms of physical prowess. There is also Magala as she is skillful in magic itself.

(A/N: Sorry if I'm wrong, but let's just go with it.)

3 hours has passed.

While fighting, diana would always unconciously glance to where Aron is. She's been doing this for the past three hours. She knows that currently, there is a big commotion over there, but she's trying to control herself to not head over his location as that would be insulting. To interfere with another fight that is.

She would only casually steal a glance and then defend an incoming attack and after that, she would again glance over there. Diana was just too distracted and literally not in the right state of mind to fight, causing her to unconciously let her guard down.

Resulting on her, earning a straight punch right in her stomach. Though it didn't hurt her that much, it still caused her to stagger, giving a chance for the amazons around her to attack.

Realizing her mistake, Diana widen her eyes as she then hurriedly block the incoming sword that was aiming close to her vitals, she tried to focus as she awkwardly dodge all the incoming attacks around her.

Regaining her balance, diana then awkwardly smile as she can't believe she got distracted in the middle of a fight. Taking a deep breath, diana then tried to focus herself as she again, engaged into another round with the other amazons.

The crowd also notice Diana's awkward movements as they comment into hush voices and guess their princess's reason why she lost her focus into the fight.

...

Meanwhile, at the platform, Hippolyta was observing Aron's fight. But that doesn't mean she only focus on him as she succesfully witnessed her daughter's momentary lost of awareness in the battle.

She only sighed in this as looking at her daughter's reaction and where she was looking at, she clearly knows what got her attention off the fight. Though she supports her daughter, but she's still strict nonetheless. So she reminded herself to give diana a piece of her mind after this.

...

Back at the stage. Diana who succesfully regained her momentum, can't still entirely focus. As though she indeed keep her attention in the fight, but she still can't stop herself from stealing a glance every now and then.

It might seem weird, but even she, herself, doesn't know why she's acting like this. She's feeling a mixture of worry and eagerness. Worry as she knows how brutal her fellow sisters can be when they were driven by their excitement and eagerness as she wanted to watch Aron battle with the others like the proud sister she is, or so she thought.

While Diana was still busy on splitting her attention to her situation and to Aron, she suddenly felt a strong presence behind her, which made her duck. Just in time for a sword to came slashing from where her head was used to be.

Acting fast, diana immediately leaped away and made a distance against the attacker. Seeing who attacked her was, diana can't help but chuckle as she adress her.

"I didn't know that you're actually good at sneaking on people's backs, Mala". Diana said to the blond amazon. They can now freely speak as the Amazons around them became fewer and fewer.

Mala, who sneak attacked diana, can't help but giggle. "What do you mean by sneaking, Diana? Aren't you just too distracted to notice me?" Mala said as she winked at Diana.

Diana's cheeks redenned a bit from emberassment as she then tried to feign ignorance. "What are you talking about?".

"Hm? Oh nothing, I just saw you awkwardly dodging those swords before, it's nothing at all". Mala said in sarcasm.

Diana tried to keep a stoic expression as she can't help but feel embarass with her actions before. She's the champion of the Amazons and a Demigod for god's sake, but she was too distracted that she actually showed everyone an unsightly attitude in battle as she awkwardly dodge those attacks before, just because of her momentary lost of focus in the fight.

Diana who's trying to hide her embarassment, tried to erase it as she then took a stance with her sword infront. "Well, it's been quite a long time since we've fought. How about we try it now, Mala?" Diana said, trying to change the topic before.

Mala who saw right through diana's intention, just smirked as she replied. "Well, not now Diana".

Diana was confused, so she asked. "Why?"

Mala then gave Diana a playful wink as she then started dashing into a certain direction as she spoke while running. "Well, let me try your man for a bit. Or should I say boy?".

Diana who stood there in confusion, processed Mala's words by what she meant her "man". Turning to where she's heading. Diana realized there is only one man that was currently here in themyscira.

Staring at Mala's back, diana only sighed in a helpless manner as she decided to spectate the fight between Mala and Aron. Afterall, from what she's seeing, there are only about 60 or so participants remaining in this stage. And looking at how big this stage is, she can freely spectate someone else's fight without that much interference compared to before.

Or so she thought, but then, Diana suddenly notice the disturbance in the air. Turning around, diana immediately raise and crossed her arms, just in time for an arrow to hit her silver bracelets. Acting fast, diana then tried to get close to the attacker, but the attacker instead leaped back and made a distance over them as the attacker then again shoot three arrows on Diana's way.

Stopping from her tracks so that she won't get hit by the arrows, diana then inspect the attackers features as only a few people can attack her from behind without her noticing. Except for what happened earlier, she just let her guard down, but she clearly learned her lesson and made sure to keep her awareness on, but this attacker still manage to sneak an attack to her.

Finally seeing her opponent's face, diana can't help but complain. "Are all blond people has some kind of thing about attacking on people's backs? Huh, Sofia?" Diana asked with a helpless smile.

Infront of her was one of her good friends, Sofia. She has blond hair, fair face, and an hourglass figure. Overall, she's beautiful. Her weapon was a bow and arrow, she's known for her marksmanship and was considered one of the elites. She's even one of the candidates to become the Wonder Woman before.

Smiling cheerfully at Diana, Sofia answered. "Isn't it common sense for an archer to find a blind spot to shoot her prey? Isn't that right, Diana?"

Diana rolled her eyes at sofia. "Oh? I'm a prey now? Aren't you chewing more than you can swallow?"

Sofia smiled as she said. "There's no pleasure if I don't even try to hunt for a good quality prey right?"

"Hm? Is that so? Then why don't we try and see?" Diana smiled as she then took a stance.

"My pleasure, princess". Sofia said, as she then loaded another arrow into her bow.

...

Meanwhile at Aron's side.

He is now heaving as fighting so many people at once took a toll at his young body. He finally defeated all amazons that targetted him but he was dead tired now. He's maybe powerful but it doesn't mean he already has infinite stamina.

Meanwhile, most of the crowd also notice his condition as their attention were almost on him as they wanted to see the extent of his strength. But seeing his condition, they expected him to be eleminated when he met another strong amazon. But that didn't mean they do not even have an ounce of respect to this kid. In fact, they respected him so much after they saw how he defeated all the amazons that would come straight at him. After all, amazons respected the strong.

...

Looking around, there are much fewer amazons compared to before and everyone are currently engaging into a fight, even though about three hours has already passed, the amazons are still full of energy to fight.

Compare to this immortal amazons, he's but a mortal right now. Well, a strong mortal that is. Not to mention, his chakra was depleting and almost all spent due to the continuous use of sharingan and other jutsus. This also caused his eyes to bleed a bit and his vision getting a bit blurry.

But thanks to his strong body due to him absorbing the sun's energy, he stil can fight through and through. He also still have magic but it was almost in the same state as his chakra, almost spent due to the use of mini cruel sun that he literally use as a compensation for his lack of rasengan.

He also found something interesting when he used the mini cruel sun and tried to inject a bit of chakra in it. Well, the result was an explosion which knocked out about six armed amazons off the stage. Even though it is indeed strong, he still didn't get off without injuries.

As still now, his hand was still bleeding due to the explosion. He then decided after this that he would try to experiment about his magic and chakra and if possible, combine them and train at the same time.

Undoing his sharingan, the beat up and tired Aron then tried to rest for a bit and avoid the other amazons by trying to hide his presence as it is kind of natural to him, considering that he's basically a ninja right now.

He was about to go into a place where there are a few people, but this proved to be futile as he suddenly felt a presence behind him. He hurriedly turned around but he was already too late as a sword successfully pierced his stomach.

*Stab*

"Agghh!"

Staring at his attacker, he saw that it was a beautiful blond amazon, he also indentified her as none other than mala as to what lulu told him before.

'Hmm? I thought he would be able to dodge it, did I overstimated him?' Mala thought after seeing that she easily stabbed Aron, she was about to knock him off the stage for him get medication, but suddenly.

*Poof*

"Huh?!" Mala was dumbfounded as Aron turned into a cloud of white smoke and was replaced by a... sword?

Mala then tried to look for Aron but the smoke suddenly receded as she then saw someone grabbed the sword that replaced aron and hacked it at her.

Although a bit surprised, mala still raised her sword to intercept the strike.

*Ting*

Two swords collided as Mala then saw who attacked her was.

"You?" She was a bit surprised seeing aron without the wound in his stomach. She's also confused how he got the sword when he was clearly not carrying that before.

But Mala put the confusion into the back of her mind as her interest to Aron suddenly went up. She smiled excitedly as she then spun and gave aron a kick, to which he dodged by stepping back.

Aron then raised his sword and tried to use his experience as a kendo captain before and exchanged blows with Mala.

*Ting*

*Clang*

*Shing*

But as expected, after a while of hacking each other, Mala was able to unarm aron of the sword to which it leave him stunned for a bit due to the shock of two sword's powerful shock running into his arms and into his brain.

Seeng this as a chance, Mala then kicked him into his stomach, intending to kick him off the stage. Expecting her victory, mala let her guard down for a bit.

She expected her kick to blast him of the stage, but to her surprise, it passed right through his stomach!

This gave Mala a shock as she didn't expect her kick to make a hole into Aron's stomach. She was about to pull her oustretched foot out and leave him to the healers when she suddenly discovered that she couldn't.

She then raised her head and stared to aron, only to see him turned into a harden rock that successfully hold her foot on hold.

Due to shock and confusion, Mala didn't notice a shield behind her suddenly exploding into a cloud of white smoke and in turn, it became Aron!

In his hand was a mini cruel sun as he then dashed into mala. Mala who noticed his presence behind her, immediately went out of her shock as she then pulled out her foot with her super strength and tried to dodge.

But it was too late as Aron managed to throw the cruel sun into her back!

*Booom*

"Aggghhh!". This attack injured Mala to her back as she was then blasted a couple of meters away from where she was standing.

...

Meanwhile, the crowd of Amazons who saw saw mala getting injured broke out into cheers as they can only stare in awe when they saw aron turning into a puff of smoke and appearing randomly everywhere.

Hippolyta was also quite surprised by this as she didn't expect for him to turn into a shield and attack mala from behind, this earned aron another respect from hippolyta and the other amazons.

...

Meanwhile, Aron was kneeling in exhaustion due to his depleted Magic and Chakra. His stamina was almost spent and it looks like he can't even run now.

*Huff*

*Huff*

"I'm all spent now! *Huff* Damn...". Aron said in exhaustion as he tried to catch his breath while his vision slowly turning more blurry. He then tried to look at Mala's condition, only to see her slowly standing up.

Seeing this through his blurry eyes, he can't help but curse. "F*ck".

Mala who was able to stand up, hissed in pain as she can smell her burned back. It actually destroyed her armor in the back and injured her. Gritting her teeth in pain, Mala then turned to look at the kneeling Aron.

Surpressing the pain, she then dashed into Aron, intending to end it once and for all. She had to admit, she didn't expect that tricks from Aron at all. But even though she's a bit pissed off, she still can't hide her respect to his strength as a kid, so she decided to end this and let him rest.

Aron who has no strength left to even raise his arms to block, just closed his eyes and braced himself for the pain.

Mala then stretched her hand, intending to grab him and throw him off the stage, but before she can even manage to hold him, she suddenly saw someone hacking a sword towards her in the corner of her eyes.

*Swoosh*

Seeing that she can't risk it. Mala then stopped into her tracks, as she then leaped back to dodge the sword strike.

Meanwhile, aron who did not feel the expected pain, opened his eyes and saw someone standing in front of him. Looking into her figure, even though she's currently facing her back at him, he still know who it was.

He chuckled as he called out. "Lulu".

Being called out, Lulu then turned her head at him and greeted him into her usual cheerful voice. "Yo! Look's like you're beat up huh?! Hahaha don't worry, leave this to me, we still have to fight after this!".

"Looks like you're still good huh?" Aron said, seeing lulu still in the stage.

"Did you really expect me to not improve and stay as before when you met me?" Lulu grinned as she then took a stance as she saw Mala charging straight at her.

Smiling helplessly, aron decided to let her do what she want as he knows how lulu improve for this past month. Afterall, she has the motivation to beat him and that push her into her limits which resulted into her improvement now.

Sighing, aron then decided to sit onto the floor and spectate the fight as he can't do anything now anyways.

...

While Aron was still on themyscira or DC universe as they called. Somewhere in the void, a majestic and powerful voice could be heard belonging to an unknown entity.

[Well then young man, you would be now then reincarnated into your chosen world.]

After the entity said that, a ray of light suddenly wrapped the said young man, or should they say... soul? And vanished into the void.

After a while of silence, the entity finally spoke.

[Finally done!] The entity said as his body could now be seen. He assumed an appearance of someone in his 40's if you base it on the human looks. He has many forms but he prefer this out of all of them.

Stretching his body, he then closed his eyes and inspected his self.

After a while he sighed as he mumbled.

[This is not enough, I still need more. *sigh* hope those souls become stronger much faster so that they can have some use.] The old entity mumbled.

*Sigh*

[If this is till not enough, then do I need to get more souls to do the deed? What a pain.] The entity then sighed yet again as he vanished into the void.

(A/N: Looks like some readers misunderstand, please read the author's thought just below this next time guys. That "young man" isn't included in the story. Instead of thinking of that "young man". Why don't we think and ponder about what the entity mean with his words? That's all, please pay attention to details as I might reveal some clues and stuffs. By the way, Diana was still unaware about her feelings, ok? Hippolyta already mentioned that. Diana only saw herself as Aron's sister.)
