A Legendary Entrance - Part 1

And there they were. Inside the cave, with Mesa having the Infinity Gauntlet on his right hand and the container for the Power Stone in his left hand.

"Ophis, I need you to place the most powerful barrier you can make around us, right now! What I have here in my left hand is the Power Stone and once I touch it, it will start to release a lot of power until I put it inside the Infinity Gauntlet." Said Mesa in an urgent voice.

"Partner! If that really is the Power Stone you have there. Then I must warn you to keep a cool head at all times. With that Infinity Stone in hand, the Juggernaut Drive will be even more dangerous!" Said Ddraig urgently.

"I know. The moment I saw this Power Stone; I knew that the Juggernaut Drive would be even more dangerous than usual." Said Mesa seriously.

"Why? What could that Power Stone do to make that 'Juggernaut Drive' you're talking about so dangerous?" Asked Jasmine curiously and with a tinge of fear in her voice.

"Because, once I go into the Juggernaut Drive. All the seals on the Boosted Gear are disengaged and the full power of Heavenly Dragon sealed within will be unleashed. This will have the effect that the user of the Boosted Gear is flooded with so much power that he goes on a rampage. But the downside is, that the Juggernaut Drive drains the life-force of the user until its completely depleted and he dies. But with this Power Stone in hand and its unlimited supply of power, I would remain a rampaging Heavenly Dragon forever and there would be nothing anyone can do to stop me." Said Mesa to the dismay of Jasmine.

"<sigh>…. You know. I am getting tired of always being shocked by everything you do. Can't you be more like a normal person sometimes. It would do wonders for my sense of normality." Said Jasmine who at this point was tired of everything Mesa does.

"Sorry, no can do. But you already knew that when we met, didn't you?" Said Mesa with a cheeky smile.

"Yeah. You're right. So, is there anything we can do to bring you back to normal once you go on a rampage?" Asked Jasmine.

"Yes, there is a way that can possibly work. One of my previous hosts, back in my native universe, once activated the Juggernaut Drive himself. At that time, his friends played a song that managed to calm him down. And eventually he exited the Juggernaut Drive without losing his life. Partner, maybe that can work for you too." Said Ddraig.

"Yeah, maybe. It's worth a try anyway. And besides, even if I went Juggernaut Drive, Ophis would be the one able to hold me down and even beat me. So what I suggest is that, once I go Juggernaut Drive, Ophis will hold me down and you will play this song right next to me." Said Mesa as he started fidgeting on his phone looking for the right song and then played it.

"Is that… the intro music to that series The Pacific? It makes sense. When we were watching it, you would always hum along with the music and end up with tears streaming down your face." Asked Jasmine.

"Yeah, listening to this one always would make me tear up." Said Mesa with a melancholic smile on his face.

(A.N.: To all my dear readers, if you have your own song or soundtrack that always make you tear up. Share it with the rest of us. The ones that always make me tear up are the intro song of The Pacific, the soundtrack of Pirates of the Caribbean Main Theme, the music of the ending scene of Black Hawk Down, the intro song of Band of Brothers and the soundtrack Now We Are Free from the movie Gladiator.)

"Alright then. If you have more, tell them and I'll make sure to save them in a special playlist that I honestly hope I never have to use." Said Jasmine with Mesa agreeing. After Jasmine and Mesa were done talking, Ophis came up to them telling them she had finished setting up the barrier.

"Alright, thank you Ophis." Said Mesa as he held on to the Orb that contained the Power Stone. A few deep breaths later and he broke it in half, exposing the purple glowing Power Stone. All three of them were looking at the Power Stone with awe in their eyes. Taking another few deep breaths he grabbed the Power Stone with his left hand and screamed immediately as he was assaulted by an enormous energy discharge that was burning his skin off. With slow movements he maneuvered the Power Stone to the Infinity Gauntlet on his right hand. Holding it above the index finger socket, the Power Stone was slowly being attracted to it before slamming into it and lodging itself in the Infinity Gauntlet.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! SO THIS…. IS WHAT… AN INFINITY STONE FEELS LIKE!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Yelled out Mesa as he felt the enormous power of the Power Stone flow through his body.

"I CAN FEEL ITS POWER AS WELL!! IT FEELS AMAZING!" Yelled out Jasmine as well as the power of the Power Stone flowed into her as well through her soul connection with Mesa.

"What about you Ophis? Could you feel the power of the Power Stone as well?" Asked Ophis to which she shook her head.

"I can feel its power, but it doesn't make much difference for me. My power is infinity, so that Infinity Stone does not make much of a difference for me." Said Ophis.

"Ohh right. I forget your power was infinity. Guess you're the only who can touch an Infinity Stone without any problems, huh. Let's see just how much this Power Stone has elevated my strength level." Said Mesa as he checked out his status.

['JARVIS, can you show me my Status.']

"Wow, I skipped a whole realm! I went from level 4 Sky Profound Realm to level 6 Emperor Profound in an instant!" Said Mesa excitedly before he suddenly thought to himself.

'Hey, wait a minute. This is the Power Stone. My level of power should be much higher than this. What's going on?'

['JARVIS, why is my level of strength only level 6 Emperor Profound Realm? With that Power Stone, it should be much higher than this, shouldn't it?']

["That is because I am limiting the amount of power that the Power Stone gives you right now. If the full power of the Power Stone were to be unleashed on you, it would turn your body to ash in an instant. Though you can use the Power Stone to give yourself an immense boost in power and all its other powers, it will come at a cost. But your body will be tempered by the immense power of the Power Stone, leading to your level of strength constantly rising, even if you're not actively training to get stronger. The stronger you are the more power you can use from the Power Stone without consequence. The passive effects of the Power Stone like granting an unlimited amount of energy and stamina are active as of this very moment."]

['JARVIS, a quick question. Now that I have the Power Stone and its unlimited energy supply. Doesn't this mean that I can make an army of clones without spreading out my power way to thinly?']

["Yes sir, you can make army of clones with the Power Stone providing every clone with an unlimited supply of energy. But right now, the maximum number of clones you can produce is limited to 1000 clones. Any more and the mental backlash you would get when the clones would dissipate, could cause some severe brain damage and eventually make you brain dead. There is a way around this, but it requires you to have the Mind Stone. With its unlimited mental capacity, it can take care of the mental backlash when the clones dissipate without any damage to your brain."]

'Huh…. Well, guess I'll need the Mind Stone first before I go for the other four Infinity Stones. And with the Mind Stone, I would also be capable of spamming the Dragon Soul Domain endlessly without any headaches to worry about.' Thought Mesa to himself with a grin on his face.

"So, what do you want to do now?" Asked Jasmine.

"Well, there is still a month left until the tournament starts. And honestly, I have no idea what to do in the meantime." Said Mesa.

And so, he, Jasmine and Ophis spent the rest of the month hanging out at the cave. Coming outside and occasionally, Ophis and Mesa would share a tiny amount of their power with Ran and Shaw. This had the effect that after a whole month, their level of strength had risen immensely from the pinnacle of Sky Profound Realm to the beginning of the Tyrant Profound Realm. And their bodies had also undergone a change. They went from silver colored to a golden color. Their toxic aura had dissipated and made way for a flaming aura.

It was the morning of the day before the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament would begin and on this day all the participants had to report themselves to the front gate to participate in the tournament. It was time for Mesa to leave for he had to participate in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament. Putting on the Boosted Gear Scale Mail, Mesa flies away with full afterburners in the direction of the Heavenly Sword Villa. Using the Power Stone, he placed an energy shield in front of him to make himself more aerodynamic and faster.

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

Blue Wind Empire has 4 major sects that dominate the Empire.

Xiao sect, located in the south of the Empire.

Burning Heaven Clan, the weakest of the four that is also located in the south.

Frozen Cloud Asgard, located in the extreme north of the Empire. This sect is composed entirely of females and they are all beautiful, every time the most beautiful woman of the Empire comes from this sect, their strength is currently second.

And the Heavenly Sword Villa, considered the strongest organization of the Empire by far. It's said that the Heavenly Sword Villa is stronger than the three other sects combined. It's located in the Heavenly Cloud Mountain Range.

The Heavenly Cloud Mountain Range lies at the border of the Empire, Heavenly Sword Villa is situated within the main summit and the six subsequent summits. The entire Villa stretches on for more than 25 kilometers, this villa is as big as a city and it's here where the tournament will take place.

There were 2 Heavenly Sword disciple that stood guards at the bottom of the Mountain, they were here to welcome and guide the representatives of all the sects that would come to participate.

A party of seven moved forward together. Three old and four young, they climbed the stone steps to reach the front of the mountain gate. Amongst the four youths, the oldest looked to be about 24 years old, while the youngest looked only 19 years old. Of the three elders who were walking together, two looked to be around fifty years old and the other's beard and hair were completely white. He looked to be already seventy or eighty, but his face seemed to be completely unwrinkled and his eyes were as calm as ice with practically no trace of aging.

"Seven esteemed guests, please enter." A Heavenly Sword disciple who was guarding the mountain gate walked forward and said politely, "May I know if seven esteemed guests came to participate in the ranking tournament? Please display your invitation letter and your entry certification."

"Please verify." The middle aged person handed over the invitation letter and name list over, and said lightly.

The Heavenly Sword disciple took the proffered invitation letter and name list, and glanced through it quickly. After which, his gaze became slightly more respectful, "So it's Xiao Sect's seven noble guests, pardon the disrespect. Please come in. Walk forward five kilometers and you will reach the Villa…"

After finished speaking, he handed the invitation letter and name list back to the seven and moved aside. The person in the lead nodded slightly and brought the other six through the mountain gate.

After the seven had left, that Heavenly Sword disciple quickly said to the person beside him, "Zi Mo, go report to the Villa Master quickly and say that the Xiao Sect have already arrived. Xiao Sect's leader, Xiao Juetian has personally brought the group over, and with him are the Sword Sect's Chief Elder, Xiao Boyun and Medicine Sect's Chief Elder Xiao Wuji. Xiao Kuangyu, who was ranked third in the last tournament is also here, and it's probably to accompany them. The three who are taking part in the tournament are Xiao Juetian's third son, Xiao Kuanglei, Xiao Boyun's youngest son Xiao Zhen, as well as Xiao Wuji's oldest grandson Xiao Nan. Go!"

"Yes." The Heavenly Sword disciple who had been addressed as "Zi Mo" answered quickly and quickly retreated to a quiet corner to relay this information to Heavenly Sword Villa through sound transmission.

Looking back to the Xiao Sect guests walking towards the Sword Villa, the guard could see in Xiao Sect Master, Xiao Juetian eyes, that he was mourning the loss of his youngest son, Xiao Kuangyun. Even to this day, they never figured out who killed him. At first they thought it was Yun Che, but this thought was quickly shoved aside, when Xiao Juetian was told that is was a man who made himself look like Yun Che in order to get close to Xiao Kuangyun. To this day, they never managed to figure out the identity of this mystery man.

In front of the mountain gate, the appearance of a group of five, instantly attracted the gaze of everyone around them.

All five of them were females. Their attires were very similar to each other; all of them wore a snow-gauze long dress that covered their feet and almost touched the ground. The age of the five females all seemed very youthful. Other than the young girl in the back who wore a white gauze on her face and seemed to only be sixteen or seventeen, the other four women all appeared to only be around twenty. Two out of the five women, who were at the front and the back had their face covered with light gauze, hiding their facial features, only revealing their crystal like charming eyes. The other three women had nothing covering their face, and every single one of them was extremely beautiful. All of the three extremely beautiful faces were hazed by a kind of deep coldness.

As they walked closer, the Heavenly Sword disciple that stood guard in front of the mountain gate froze for an entire five seconds before he finally bit the tip of his tongue with effort. Only after concentrating his attention with all his might while regaining his mind and calming his heart, did he finally calm down with difficulty. But his head remained downwards, and he no longer dared to look at them directly. Taking a step forward, he spoke while somewhat stuttering: "I... I assume that five esteemed guests are fairies of Frozen Cloud Asgard? Ple… please present the invitation letter and list of names."

After the Heavenly Sword disciple finished speaking these words, he wished he could slap himself twice on the face right then and there. Greeting guests at the mountain gate was a serious affair that affected the Villa's face; it was why he, who was an important disciple that was able to deal with any kind of situation, was chosen. He wasn't fazed at all and had no change in expression even when facing Sect Master-ranked personages from the Xiao Sect and Burning Heaven Clan, but facing the fairies of Frozen Cloud Asgard, his mind still became chaotic. After all, he was but a normal man.

Even though he had not seen the invitation letter yet, women who possessed such transcendental beauty and disposition could only belong to no other place than Frozen Cloud Asgard. Those floating fantastical ice auroras, was furthermore the ironclad proof. In addition to that, in order to more easily control the possibility of unexpected situations arising, there was a hard regulation in the ranking tournament's rules. For every single participating force in the tournament, the total number of participating disciples plus escorting personnel must not surpass seven, and even forces like the four major sects would not be an exception. A limit of seven people, was too little even for a small sect; a situation where less than seven people from a force would almost never appear… Except for Frozen Cloud Asgard! It was extremely rare for the Frozen Cloud Asgard to be willing to contact the outside world, especially places where there was a lot of men, and everyone was well aware of the reason. Only five people coming this time from the Frozen Cloud Asgard, was not surprising in the slightest.

Standing in front of him, the impeccable beauty who wasn't wearing a veil took out the invitation letter and name list, and handed them over to the Heavenly Sword disciple. Looking at the hand, the Heavenly Sword disciple's heart rate instantly sped up. He carefully reached out his hand, pinched a corner of the invitation letter and the name list, and received them.

With his gaze sweeping across the invitation letter and the list of names, he hastily lowered his head and said: "So it is the Fairy of Frozen Glass and Fairy of Frozen Beauty from the Frozen Cloud Asgard that have personally graced us… Ah? Frozen… Fairy of Frozen Beauty?"

The Heavenly Sword disciple subconsciously raised his head and looked toward the woman who wore a face veil and had a gaze that was as cold as ice. The moment he contacted her gaze, his entire body ran cold with a startle, and immediately realized that he had already seriously lost his composure. He once again hastily lowered his head, and spoke with respect: "The Fairy of Frozen Beauty's name, is like thunder striking through my ears. Please forgive this junior for losing composure. Five esteemed guests, please enter…"

After he finished speaking, he moved aside with weak steps. As a wave of ice-cold fragrance swept over his front, he didn't even dare to lift his head.

Only after they had walked far away, did the Heavenly Sword disciple completely regain himself. He looked at their receding back silhouettes in a somewhat stupefied manner; his mind was a little unhinged for a while. At this time, the disciple beside him suddenly spoke: "Senior Brother Haiya, what you called out before was… Fairy of Frozen Beauty? Don't tell me it was the rumored Chu Yuechan?"

"Yes!" The disciple called Haiya nodded: "Chu Yueli, Chu Yuechan, Shui Wushuang, Wu Xuexin, Xia Qingyue… That is indeed Chu Yuechan's name; she actually personally came…"

"Should I report to the Villa Master immediately? If Villa Master knows that Chu Yuechan actually came, he will definitely be excited…"

"Are you crazy!" Ling Haiya smacked his head: "Villa Master and Villa Master's Wife are currently welcoming guests together. In the Villa, every idiot knows the name Chu Yuechan is an enormous taboo to the Villa Master's Wife. If you were to report this and make trouble arise, let's see how you can handle the consequences!"

"Then, then how should I report it?"

Ling Haiya thought for a bit, and said: "Just say Frozen Cloud Asgard has arrived, a total of five people, and the Fairy of Frozen, Chu Yueli, is leading. In any case, her name is the first name on the attendance list. You must not bring up Chu Yuechan!"

"Oh, alright." The Heavenly Sword disciple moved hurriedly, took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, and spread the news within the Villa.

It was in the middle of the afternoon when a group of six people arrived at the front gate. These six people were Feng Bufan, Fang Feilong, Qin Wushang, Cang Yue, Yun Che, and Xia Yuanba. Everyone that represented the Blue Wind Imperial Family was here, except Mesa Uchiha.

"May I know if seven esteemed guests came to participate in the ranking tournament? Please display your invitation letter and your entry certification." Said the guard respectfully as Princess Cang Yue handed over the invitation letter to the guard.

"Welcome to the Mighty Heavenly Sword Villa, Your Highness. Escorting personnel: Qin Wushang, Cang Yue, Yun Che and Xia Yuanba. Participants: Feng Bufan, Fang Feilong and Mesa Uchiha. I can see that you are missing one participant, Mesa Uchiha?" Said the Guard.

"Yes, he will arrive at a later time alone." Said Cang Yue.

"Very well then. Please come in. Walk forward five kilometers and you will reach the Villa. And once again welcome to the Mighty Heavenly Sword Villa." Said the guard respectfully. As Cang Yue and the rest walked through the gate, towards the villa. The guard turned to the person behind him and said.

"Zi Mo, report to the Sword Villa Master that the Blue Wind Imperial Family has arrived. Princess Cang Yue, Qin Wushang, Yun Che, Xia Yuanba. And their participants Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong. Tell him that the last participant, Mesa Uchiha, will arrive at a later time."

"Yes." Zi Mo answered quickly and quickly retreated to a quiet corner to relay this information to Heavenly Sword Villa through sound transmission.

As they were walking towards the Sword Villa, the two participants walked ahead of the rest and were talking to each privately.

"So that Mesa Uchiha guy didn't show up. Probably got scared and is now hiding in some hole somewhere, fucking coward! And what a ridiculous name he got anyway. There is no place for him to represent the glory of the princes at the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament anyways." Said Feng Bufan in disgust.

"I agree. Filthy coward didn't show up because he's scared. And even if he came, there is no way I would allow him to participate in the Tournament and humiliate us! Besides, the princes have told us to sabotage him if he does come." Said Fang Feilong with a malicious grin on his face.

Even though they were walking ahead of them and talking privately with each other, Cang Yue still managed to pick their conversation. Instead of getting angry at them, she just got a little sly grin on her face, imagining what Mesa would do to them if they did try to sabotage him.

'Go ahead and gloat all you like. Once Mesa arrives, he will blow you and everyone else away. He did say he would make a legendary entrance. Knowing him, it is going to be an over the top kind of entrance.' Thought Cang Yue to herself amusedly.
