Ryu wakes up and hears asta screaming while doing his chores
Ryu: (you know I would say this is nostalgic but it's just annoying)
Ryu gets changed and decides that he wants to visit the vermillions
Ryu flies off
He sees Leo training against Fuegoleon
Leo: FLAME MAGIC SCORCHING STRIKE
Leo covers his fist in flames and flames and strikes Feugoleon but he blocks it easily and tosses Leo to the side
Ryu: huh Ahh Ryu what brings you here in this fine day
Leo: Sup my rival
Ryu: gotta be honest my squad wandered off and I got really bored and there's always something interesting happening here
Both: fair enough
Fuegoleon: here's an interesting idea how about you and Leo team up and face off against me
Ryu and Leo: HUH?!
Feugoleon suddenly gets serious: come on you want to surpass me right then come right at me with all you've got
Ryu and Leo stand side by side and then charge
DARK MAGIC BLACK BLADE
FlAME MAGIC SPIRAL FLAME
They unleash their iconic spells Fuegoleon dodges the blade and blocks the flame
Feugoleon: is that the best you two can do I thought you two where going to be this kingdoms strongest
Ryu: is this a plan by your brother
Leo: definitely he's trying to fire us up
Ryu: well let's do it
Ryu and Leo charge
Leo: Flame magic scorching strike
Ryu: Dark magic abyssal fist
Ryu covers his fist in darkness
Leo covers his fist in flames
They both strike and fuego gets pushed back a little bit
Fuegoleon: not bad
FLAME MAGIC SOL LINEA
Ryu and Leo both get hit dead on
Ryu: ahhh
Leo: dammit
But they get back up
Ryu: let's do this Leo
DEMONIC DARK MAGIC DARK DRAGON OF DESTRUCTION
Leo: LETS GO
SECRET FLAME MAGIC CRIMSON LOTUS EXPLODING FLAME BLADE
The two spells blast towards Fuegoleon and create an explosion
Ryu: alright
Leo: yeah dead on!
He emerges from it scorching and bruised but he looks fine otherwise
Ryu: what the hell
Leo: seriously
Fuegoleon : impressive you two you've definitely grown stronger now let's do this shiw me your combined full strength and I'll show you mine
He says letting salamander loose
Ryu: seriously how much did this guy hold back
Leo: I have no idea but we can't back down now
Both: LETS GO
Feugoleon: well said FLAME SPIRIT MAGIC SALAMANDERS BREATH
Both: COMBO MAGIC HELL BLAZE
They let loose a blast of dark fire and it counters the breath of the mighty spirit
Another massive explosion occurs
And
Ryu and Leo are on the ground clothes torn and burned
Feugoleon is still standing but with one his sleeves missing and he looks winded
Feugoleon: amazing you two if you bjth get stronger together you could be invincible
Ryu: why does it sound like you're bragging you are being way too nice
Leo: agreed at least be a little frustrated that we injured you
Feugoleon: why would I be frustrated I'm proud
Ryu: (dammit I just need to keep growing)
Much later
Ryu: alright I'm heading out
Leo: see ya later my rival come back soon I'll be even stronger then
Ryu: well so will I
They glare at each other
Ryu leaves and returns to the hideout
And turns out they are heading to the heart kingdom
Ryu: uhh well ok then
And they are at a ship
Asta is gawking
Ryu is confused
Ryu: I didn't know you had a ship who'd you have to threaten to get it
Yami: no-one I merely made a compelling point to julius
Ryu: right
Yami: if you damage it I'll kill you
Ryu and Asta: right
Klaus: Ryu, Asta be careful protect mimosa
Mimosa: it's ok klaus where taking this to visit not to fight
Klaus: but still if something does happen we won't be able to come to your aid I'd feel much better about this if I could come along too
Magna: well there unfortunately are only 5 spots
First and second Asta and Ryu
The there's the royal from the golden dawn who arranged all of this
Noelle whose looks none too willing to give up her spot
And then finral
Finral: yeah captain why do you want me too go
Yami: because having wheels tends to come in handy agreed
The black bulls all agree and so does klaus
Finral: YOU KNOW WHAT I SHOULD
Magna: Ryu, Asta go kick some ass in the heart kingdom for me
Noelle: you better not
Ryu: right this should be fun
Asta: yeah
Luck: take care of things there and come home soon ok the two of us still need to have a duel ok that goes for both of you
Both: right
Vanessa: if you get home sick and can't just take a swig of this stuff and you'll pass right out
Ryu: sweet thanks this stuff looks good
Noelle: aren't you still underage
Ryu: honestly don't know but I've got no parents so who cares
Yami: ok you've all said your goodbyes now remember you've all got your own jobs to do
They leave and so do the heart kingdom squad
Ryu finds a hammock on the boat and takes a nap
Ryu snores
He suddenly feels a massive spike in magic
Ryu: what's going on
?: please continue sailing forward
Mimosa: wait your
?: allow me to welcome you to the heart kingdom I'm the spirit guardian Gaza and I will act as your guide while your here
Ryu just looks at him: (this guy he's strong but his magic seems different)
Gaza: and who are you
Ryu: the names Ryu it's good to meet you
Gaza: like wise now here have some crimson orange juice you can use mana to sweeten it
He chucks it at him Ryu catches it
Ryu: thank you
Ryu is suspicious
But he enjoys the juice
The end up rising up a waterfall that turns into stairs
Ryu: (this is the queens mana zone that covers the whole kingdom so this queen may been surpass the wizard king in terms of power)
They learn that the kingdom was founded 1200 years ago and that all the queens formed bonds with the water spirits to gain its strength
Ryu: (ahh that explains it this juice is delicious something like this couod onyk be made in a beautiful kingdom like this one hard to believe a devil resides here)
Suddenly water forms around asta and he ends up being launched into the air and straight toward the palace
Ryu jumps into action and tries to grab asta but misses
Ryu: what the hell are you doing
Gaza: we need his help to keep this peace
Ryu, mimosa and neolle get transported after asta with finral's magic
But in a blink of an eye Gaza catches up with them
Noelle uses her Valkyrie armour
Ryu goes obsidian samurai
Noelle: I don't know what your trying to pull but you've just abducted the fiend of a clove kingdom royal
Ryu: as well as the Squamata of a vice captain
Both: AND THAT ACTION HAS CONSEQUENCES
Gaza: that's some reamarkabke magic you both have I'd say first stage for Noelle and arcane stage for Ryu impressive if you aren't holding back than I won't either
Suddenly markings appear in front of Gaza
Gaza lighting magic twin tenjolia
Two super fast bolts of lighting emerge
One chases neolle while Ryu slices one in half before destroying it with his magic
Finral uses his magic to send the other bolt towards Gaza and mimosa begins attacking him
Gaza: allow me to show you a brief glimpse of the difference in our strength
Gaza uses his weird runs and creates a manic circle that creates and actual thunder cloud
Gaza: nature itself supplies me with mana no human can match its might
Ryu: well I get power from somewhere besides myself so let's go sparky
Gaza: very well
Gaza true lighting magic irial astrauza
A huge ass lighting bolt comes crashing down
Ryu: DEMONIC DARK CREATION MAGIC MALIOUS MASAMUNE
Ryu uses his massive sword and swings
Ryu: HAAA! HEY GUYS DO IT NOW
Noelle: WATER CREATION MAGIC SEA DRAGONS ROAR
The two attacks hit Gaza dead on
But
And that's a rap find out what happens next time in a few days see you then
