episode 25

"Klai" walks and feels down on himself thinking that telling the laughing demons about "Wreck" was a mistake.

Klai:-this isn't my fault, I couldn't do a thing…they'll probably execute me if I go back now.

A villager comes by screaming for mercy and looks terrified.

Klai:-[surprised]a villager? [grab a villager's arm]what's wrong?

Villager:-[terrified]a monster, a monster just came out of nowhere and started attacking.

Klai:-[shocked]a monster? (is this why other towns being empty)? Whatever you do just stay somewhere around here[walks towards the village].

Villager:-where are you going? He'll kill you.

Klai:-…sir, I am a "Ki" user of wind, I can fight that thing head on.

Meanwhile "Wreck" appears to be alive but somehow stuck in an underground cave.

Wreck:-[wake up]ow my head, what happened?...oh yeah, I was fighting them…but how did I get here?...no matter, guess I'll be on my way [walk]it's rare to find icy caves around, feels like an ice age.

"Klai" enters the village and starts searching for people.

Klai:-hello? Is anyone there? Can you please answer.

"Tenzen" the parasite appears holding a living villager.

Klai:-who are you?

Villager:-run…you won't stand a chance, he'll kill you.

Klai:-just who are you? And why are you holding that villager...drop him, now.

"Tenzen" drops the villager then instantly pulled out his tentacle and ate that villager's heart.

Village:-he'll kill you…run.

"Tenzen" drags the villager and starts devouring him completely.

Klai:-[shocked]…what the hell am I watching?

Tenzen:-[finishes his meal]…oh? he was all that trying to help, and yet you disobeyed his warnings.

Klai:-I still haven't got my answer yet, what are you?

Tenzen:-…can't you humans make up your minds? What or who? No matter…I am "Tenzen", a parasite.

Klai:-parasite?

Tenzen:-you don't know what that is? It's like an insect that controls an organ from the inside, as you can see this body…wasn't actually my body…I killed the owner and took over, that's how it works, but everyone I devoured makes me even stronger, I could be unstoppable.

Klai:-I see, so you took all the corpses from other 4 villages!

Tenzen:-make this the seventh.

Klai:-[surprised]seventh? You ate that many?

Tenzen:-hey, what's with all those interests? And how are you not reacting with fear that quickly?

Klai:-[swallow](that insect), there was an outsider like you if you don't know about that.

Tenzen:-[short laugh]you inspired me human being, so what kind of an outsider would visit "Ergatha".

Klai:-[surprised]"Ergatha"?

Tenzen:-[surprised]it is the name of your world and you don't know it? Or maybe none of you actually knew…your world…is actually a copy…but such copies like you…is good for eating.

"Klai" gets his guards up as "Tenzen" attacks, "Wreck" is still wondering around in the underground cave.

Wreck:-I can't believe something like this is somehow large and icy… [sees a T rex in the ice]more like icy dinos in a catch, but still…is there a reason for this place to exist?

"Klai" keeps dodging every attack.

Tenzen:-look at you, I haven't seen another human surviving for more than 30 seconds, but you aren't gonna live longer.

Klai:-(he is getting faster every second, I better find an opening and quick).

Tenzen:-let me tell you something hot shot, I eat human beings not just for strength or speed, also for knowledge that you possess the most, take for example water "Ki".

"Tenzen" uses water "Ki" and blasts "Klai" off the roof.

Tenzen:-and there are other things I would like you to meet, you see, there was this one of your people who happens to take a research about a new "ki" control, it's called plasma.

Klai:-[surprised, dodge a plasma "Ki" blast] …what the hell?

Tenzen:-let's make this a 2 minutes, we are not just playing preys and predators…we are playing how long will you survive.

Klai:-[exhausted](this monster really is the greatest threat I've ever seen, he can absorb knowledge just by eating people…then he must not reach "Wreck" by any means).

Tenzen:-oh? Who is this "Wreck" you're talking about?

Klai:-[surprised](he can now)?

Tenzen:-read thoughts? Yes, another one of your kind had this ability so I ate what I saw and that's how I reach it…so about that "Wreck" you were talking about…what does he know?

Klai:-[sweat](this is not good, I just revealed to him the most unstoppable child, it won't do you any good after all, you sick creature).

Tenzen:-is that so? [excited]the unstoppable child?! Tell you what, once I'm done with you I'll go searching for that "Wreck" you're talking about.

Klai:-like I said, it won't do you any good, beating him is impossible after all.

Tenzen:-now you sound like you're being fond with me, why are you doing it?

Klai:-what do you mean? [shocked](no…what is going on right now? Why do I feel like being the)?

Tenzen:-the rebel you are today? This reminds me of "Virus", you know…you can always accept what you are today and tomorrow…since there is no other way around it, a rebel who will be freed from his suffering soon enough.

Klai:-[terrified]…(the rebel I am…today? Why will I accept this, most importantly…how)?

Tenzen:-it's not that hard to do it, [tentacle out reaching "Klai's" chest on heart position]only if I pierced through you…you can still think about how you want to accept it, cause I've got a prey to catch thanks to you.

Klai:-if only… [cut off the tentacle]if only I gave myself a chance to do something about what I'm becoming, if only there was someone who would understand.

"Tenzen" got pissed off shot plasma, "Klai" backed away and shot "Tenzen" by his wind "Ki".

Tenzen:-[pissed off]foolish human being, do you have any idea what you have done?

Klai:-whenever the situation is deadlier I must quickly find an angle to escape from it.

Tenzen:-[angry]good luck with that, all your angle will be vanished from my way to get you.

Klai:-…I'm tired of running away…at least this chance I must survive, and prove myself that I'm not the rebel that everyone don't want to see, this time I'm gonna be the hero who'll save humanity from you, I don't understand an outsider like you or any other, however I do believe that there's hope for seeing a pure one.

Tenzen:-you make no sense "Klai", even if you talk big that will still be your illusion.

Klai:-…(any time now…failure is not an option…rather I live or die you better come and find me…this won't be easy for me to handle).

Tenzen:-enough chattering, let's get down to business[grow back the tip of his tentacle], you know you won't survive.

Klai:-[stand in position]…not till I try.

Tenzen:-…die human.

"Tenzen" used his tentacle and plasma "Ki" to attack "Klai", "Klai" dashes and starts attacking him from long range, since "Klai's" attacks didn't work against "Tenzen's" water wall he started throwing wind attacks through random directions, once "Klai" dodges the plasma attack he got caught by "Tenzen's" tentacle from the bottom, "Tenzen" grabs "Klai" from the neck then smashed him to the wall.

Tenzen:-you have nothing left human being, I got you right where I want you.

Klai:-you won't get the hands on my knowledge.

Tenzen:-big talk, no proof, useless being.

"Tenzen" was about to try and pierce through "klai's" chest and eat his heart again but his own tentacle got sliced by "Klai's" previous attacks.

Tenzen:-[pissed off]you did it again, [angry]at least give me a heart for eating damnit, you triggered me the last time[shoots plasma at "Klai"].

"Wreck" was shocked once he saw an orb in the underground cave, the orb was glowing cyan and covered with cold steam.

Wreck:-[shocked]what is this doing here…is this why the "Ever frost" lives? It takes lots of enchanting to produce cloud generator system…so it should be protected by all cost, the people who live here are used to live in the winter.

"Tenzen" felt sorry to burn "Klai" and let him crash under the broken wall.

Tenzen:-oops…ugh this human, pissed me off till I ruin the meal…all I wanted was a heart for eating…[sigh]forget this, off to search for this "Wreck" boy that he was talking about.

"Tenzen" leaves then it appears that "Klai" is still alive and well saved by a drauger.

Klai:-[surprised]…you saved my life…but why? Even though I'm a human…(I see now, as a caster they still want the gate way opened), stand up straight whatever you are, I need your help…(don't know if this works but I'll give it a shot)…I want you to rebuild this village.

Many draugers approached and started rebuilding the village, "Klai" was surprised of what is happening so he left to pick up the last survivor of the village.

Villager:-[terrified]wha? You're alive?!

Klai:-…the monster ran away…couldn't keep up with him.

Villager:-[terrified laugh]we're screwed, we're all screwed, there's nothing that can stop that thing, it's a dead end.

Klai:-…calm down, I have a plan…I bet it will work, and kill that monster…[smile]you won't believe it but I found a certain someone who taught me how to hold on to hope, now stand up warrior…we've got a job to do.

Eventually "Landy" appears as a mole.

Villager:-[gasp scream]where did that come from? I can't believe I got scared because of a mole.

"Landy" turns into a husky.

Villager:-[terrified]what kind of creature is that? it's so creepy.

Klai:-don't worry about that…[pet "Landy"]he is an ally…all we need to do now is find him.

Villager:-…I'm sorry, I am a little bit confused around here…so find who exactly?

"Wreck" dug his way to the top.

Wreck:-[panting]finally out last…it's so freaking cold around the "Ever frost"…I need fire woods right now or I'll be stuck frozen around here.
