RAINDANCE

"The countrysides so beautiful" Sharone said taking in the scenery of Fields as they walked by. Kojo remembered that he'd destroyed three of them with a single hit and the scolding he'd received from the farmers. He'd had to pay them off. He and Sharone had been on the road for a day heading towards the farming village to complete Thier mission: slay the beasts terrorizing the inhabitants.

Kojo grunted. He was tired cause he was the one carrying Thier luggage.

" So, Kojo I've been meaning to ask where do you come from?"

Kojo was about to respond but Sysia stopped him

( Don't you dare. I know you like this girl and we've been together for a while now but we can't just give out info like that when we're not entirely sure what to make of this place)

" I'm from a place that's very far away,beyond the sea"

" Hmm" She replied thoughtfully.

" why is anything the matter?" He asked.

" No,your just strong to that's all" .

They continued in silence till they got to a stream.

" You must be tired,let's rest for a bit" Sharone suggested. She had barely finished when Kojo dropped the bags and collapsed on the ground.He closed his eyes.

" Sysia" He called in his head.

(Hmm )

" Oh,you're still there"

( where else would I be)

" I wanted to know your thoy on this world"

( Hmm based on my analysis) An interface with tabulated information popped up inside Kojo's mind..

(This world shares some similarities without Earth but it's totally different being governed by different laws making it a complex matrix of data. I'm not even done processing the physics behind this Arcana)

" Yeah, it's strange how thing work here" he thought taking in the landscape and the animals that were scuttling about around them.

( I wouldn't worry . It is such complexity that makes every new discovery more fulfilling and,what's the word you humans use?. Yes,fun)

" Yeah you're right"

( You should be grateful you have me)

" Yeah thanks Sysia"

(Awww that's so sweet.)

" And she ruins the moment"

( Keep this up and you'll be able to woo little miss dracula over there)

Kojo raised his head and eyed Sharone who squated beside the stream feeling the water with her hand. He got up.

" I'm gonna get us some food" he said

" Ok" Sharone responded. " Don't take too long"

He waved at her as he made his way into the forest. The moment he entered ,he spotted a deer.

STEALTH.

HHe tried to slowly creep toward it,claws extended but somehow it noticed him and ran away.

" Hey,get back here!" Kojo yelled chasing after it.His mouth waterd as he chased it,thinking of all the delecacies he could make.

" Ok, I can't use fire magic here since it might light the place up.

( But you're well versed with the abilities nof those beasts you copied)

" Yeah,but that wouldn't be fun." The deer suddenly turned left . Kojo tried to follow but slammed into a tree.

" Damn you. Ok,let's try that incantation thing Sharone was talking about.

He lifted the Earth Infront of the deer baring it's way. But it turned right to avoid. Kojo was still in persuit. He fired ice spikes at it but didn't land a hit.

" Playing hard to get huh?"

CLOUD

He floated upward and made an ice spear . Hw then jumped at the deer from above.Throwing the spear Infront of it. He then made to grab the startled animal but it ducked and he went over it hitting a tree with his back. The deer ran away.

" Ow" Kojo said sitting up and ribbing his back.

" Well,there goes lunch" He got to his feet them something dropped to the ground.

" Huh?" It dropped afain. It's then that he noticed a buzzing sound and looked up.

Above him wa the biggest behive he'd ever seen.

" What the...?" He studied the hive and saw another drop of honey about to fall. This time he caught some in his palm.

" Yummy" He said licking it . He then made an ice spear in his left hand and moved toward the hive. He was about to throw it but Sysia stopped him.

( you're forgetting it's a beehive. Not Hive minus bee.I don't think they'll be happy with someone poking holes in Thier nest)

Kojo paused thinking of a way to get the honey without attracting the bees.The bees themselves were huge each being as big as a wine bottle and thiee stingers shine in the light

" How about I freeze the hive?"

( And the honey?)

" Could use fire"

( That would melt the Ice and make you an even bigger target.)

" Ok,I could-"

( Stop making stupid assumptions and come up with something)

" Ouch,that's harsh" He said hitting the hive with a fireball.

( And he refused to listen)

The blast caused all the bees in the hive to swarm in defense. They spotted Kojo and descended on him. He then used wind magic to blow them away from the hive and fencased them in a giant glacier.

" See that wasn't so hard"

( Meh)

" C'mon, that was a good plan"

( Your success rate was 9.27%. You're lucky they came at you from one side.Othwewise you'd have been so screwed)

" You can be such a pain sometimes"

Cloud

He floated up and collected some honey into a bag he was having. He then made a massive hole and began to drain large quantities into his dimensional pocket. It was then that he felt Vapour and realized there was a buzzing sound. The buzzing was growing louder. He turned to see the glacier was vibrating, slowly melting. It began to crack.

" Oh Crap"

The glacier burst and the bees swarmed up at him. He quickly flew through the forest crisscrossing through the trees but the bees were still hot on his tail.

" The hell did they break out"

( Seems they caused tension within the ice by vibrating Thier wings simultanously causing the ice to crack .

" How do I shake em off?"

(You're asking me? I told you no funny ideas)

Kojo groaned. He turned and released a stream of fire at the bees burning some of them but they broke into three separate swarms.

" You've got to be kidding me"

One swarm persued him from behind while the other two closed in from either side.Kojo saw the end of the treeline and propelled himself forward with fire. Suddenly a fourth swarm appeared Infront of him .

" Shit"

Sharone was wondering why Kojo was taking so long ." It's been a while and he hasn't come back yet" She said looking at the forest.She considered going to look for him but decided against it.

" I'm sure he's fine" She reassured herself. Shelooked at the stream.

" Why don't I take this time to cool off" she said squating and fetching water in her palms.She heard a buzzing sound in the distance.

"Huh?"

Sheturned to the forest. There was another flash of light and another blast.She looked on amazed as Kojo appeared over the treetop being closely follows by bees.He was falling toward her.

" Kojo!" She yelled.

" Sorry about this" He said knocking her into the water. The bees halted at the edge of the stream.

Kojo sat up" Hah! You can't come near water" he said Splashing some at them The bees went back a little.

" Ok then" he stood up and spread his arms. A magic circle appeared under him. Sharone's eyes widened.

" But it was just yesterday that I explained the concept. How did he pick it up so fast?" She wondered looking up at him.

The water began to swirl under him before shooting upward. The drops then froze becoming droplet sized bullets

RAINDANCE

The bullets sprayed the bees tearing through them . The bees retreatwd moving back into the forest. The lingered at the edge faced Kojo for a moment before disappearing inside.

( I don't think this is over)

Kojo git out of the water and picked up one of the dead bees.

" Hey Sharone,sorry I'm late but look I brought us some luuuuu-"

He turned. The water hand caused Sharone's clothes to cling to her skin. He noticed she wasn't wearing a bra.His face turned red.

Sharone realized it and covered her chest. And splashed water on him.

" Do you want to start a water war" he chuckled making a waterball over his index finger.

She looked over at him then straightenwd turning to face him. Kojo's nose began to bleed

" You're on"
