Philippines

Mactan Island, year 1521

------------------------

"RAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" "Sugod mga kapatid, tayo ay magsama-sama!" A man in his late 50's shouted as he ran towards the group of foreigners wearing full armors and well equipped with weapons. His name was 'Cilapulapu' or also known as Lapu-Lapu.

"Sundan si Datu Lapu!" A man that is the same age and seems to be the right hand-man of Lapu followed suit in his chief's exclamation. The tribes men also shouted which intensifies the atmosphere more that raised their morals "WAAAAAAAHH". They all ran forward raising their weapon led by their Chieftain.

On the other hand, the foreigners seems to be not alerted by their display of determination to exterminate them, as they are a well trained and disciplined fighters, so they remain calmed and collected. Waiting for the command of their Captain, the subordinates stayed still, but suddenly their Captain that has been quiet has raised his sword which alerted the troops, that made them ready their weapons as the Captain shouted "Archer Troops" "Ready" "Set"... The Captain strongly waved his sword downward as he shouted "Fire!".

Suddenly, countless of arrows were launched at the approaching tribes of Lapu-Lapu "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" Lapu who saw this only smirked as he jumped towards the attacked and propelled himself, intercepting half of the arrows that launched in his men. While, on the other hand, his men have hid themselves in their shields to protect themselves from the incoming attack. Lapu who landed looked back to checked his men, which washed away his worries as he saw that his men was not seriously injured.

Then he looked forward once again, as he bend forward and stretch his hand backward while holding his two swords and without delaying it he launched it forward like a hook punch and throw his two swords that span on its way to the armored troops, which made some of the soldiers to be beheaded and severely injured that made them widened their eyes at the display of power Lapu has showed them and when they thought it's done, the two swords suddenly curved and made its way back to Lapu, as it further increased the damage in the opponents troops.

"MAGELLAN!!!" Lapu-Lapu shouted and ran towards his the opponents side, revealing the name of the Captain.

"Captain!" A man with full armored exclaimed, as he saw that the other side has a terrifying force "I know, don't be afraid and stay calm" The said to be Captain replied. Then once again, he raised his sword and said "All troops...Deployed!" "Defeat the enemy!" as he ran towards the enemy raising his weapon, that was followed by his subordinates shouts "HAAAAAHHH!"

The two forces scattered as they man-to-man each other and fought, ready to fight to death. Lapu-Lapu on the other hand was now face-to-face to Captain Magellan "Lapu-Lapu, this is your last chance, surrender now or be exterminated?" which the latter replied with a smirked and took a battle stance and launched himself to Magellan "CLANG!" two swords intertwined as it made sparks and steel sounds.

Magellan was pushed back as he was surprised to the physical strength of his opponent, that made his hand trembled, which then he muttered 'This! I don't think I will be able to get back hah!' but to no avail to make him surrender, he is still a warrior and will never back down even if it means his death and there's no going back as he though that Lapu-Lapu will never let him live. Magellan took an stance launched himself to Lapu-Lapu.

This sudden attack made Lapu jumped high to avoid confrontation with Magellan and the next thing he did as he landed was to attack Magellan "CLANG!" the two faced off each other and fought for a while. Lapu, then swung his two swords in a hugging like attack, which severely injured Magellan on his right ribs "UGH!" Magellan reacted as he only defended the left sword due to him having a sword and on the other hand, he finally realized that his opponent was ambidextrous as both of the sword that launched towards him have a similar strength in them, which is a great trait for a dual wielder just like him.

Magellan can't take it anymore as he fell on his knees holding his now bleeding side with a whacked armor "Lapu-Lapu, it was a great fight indeed, I admit my defeat" he exclaimed due to him losing his willed to fight anymore, as he witnessed the great difference in strength between them.

"You really are an honorable warrior, Magellan. But sad to say this to you, you reaped what you sow" Lapu-Lapu said as he put his sword in the neck of Magellan to not let his guard down and shouted "Your Captain has been defeated, surrender now or suffer later!"

Hearing the statement. Everyone attention went to the standing Lapu and kneeling Magellan with a sword on his neck. A sudden break out was heard "YAAAAAAY!". It was the troops of Lapu-Lapu celebrating their Chief's win against the head of the troops. While the latter troops have let their weapon down to the surface, as if suddenly losing all their strengths in their body, they all lost their will to fight "CLANG"X3

A moment have passed and everyone was still looking at the two Captain of the troops. Lapu-Lapu then let out a word "You have any last word?" as he looked down to Magellan without feeling pity, due to the hatred that he have on the man for trying to invade their town, which the latter only let out a smile and an expression of regret "WOOOSH!" Magellan head rolled to the ground as blood splattered in its disintegration.

"Capture their troops and put them in prison" Lapu ordered to his men but suddenly an approaching man has stabbed him in the back which he looked back and said "Mario, you!" Lapu-Lapu, widened his eyes to see that his right hand man to pull such a trick on him. Lapu propelled himself toward the man and slashed his head, causing the man to be beheaded. While on the other hand, Lapu-Lapu was brought to his knees with a spear on his back and slowly losing his consciousness, while looking at his subordinates continuing to fight Magellan troops, as the right-hand man of Magellan gained hope and lead his troops, Lapu-Lapu completely went blank.

--------------------------------------------

An unknown period of time has passed

A man was laying in the sand accompanied with the heat of the scorching sun and a strong wave was pushed to the shore by the wind, slapping the face of the lying man several times before the man was wake in his slumber. Making a grunt "Ugh" the man with a tanned skin slowly opened his eyes, as the sea waves entered his eyes which made him briskly jumped up "Ouch! Ouch! I can't see!" while he rub his eyes, due to the sourness of the sea water.

After a while calming down, Lapu has realized that he is in an unknown island with large trees and mountains covering the entire island "Where am I?" Lapu muttered to himself as his curiosity triggered which made him want to explore the island and without further ado, he supported himself with his arms on the sand to give force for him to stand up, but suddenly, he saw his reflection on the sea, revealing a young man in his early 20's, with a tanned skin and a fit and well proportioned body that can catch the eyes of every teenage women looking in his body, he wore a red garment that was wrapped around his waist like a skirt, a bandanna in his forehead and his two-swords that was tied in his waist "WAAHHHH! This! T-this is my face in my youthful days!" Lapu screamed while palming both of his cheeks in surprise.

Then suddenly, Lapu realized something "Uh, didn't I died already?" muttered to himself. Lapu quickly stand up remembering something, it can be seen that he reached for about 2m tall "That damned Mario, he backstabbed me. I gotta go back to the tribe, my men are still fighting" Lapu then run towards the sea. However, it made him realized that he didn't know which island he was in "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO BACK!!! AHHHHH!" Lapu screamed horrified in his current situation not knowing what to do.
