In the lost lands of Ziandra, lies a great power stored in the form of a crystal of a sapphire hue. Throughout history, many have sought it, but they have yet to manage to get their hands on it. The crystal has been passed down through many generations in the family of Groten, a special family who were tasked with protecting the sacred crystal. They only had one obstacle though, and it was practically everyone. Everyone had powers, be it fire or ice, explosions or human transfiguration. Hence, the family had to all combine their efforts when fighting off the intruders.
One day, Mekan was slacking off at his job when he suddenly saw something that caught his eye. There was a dark shadowy figure who was sneaking around and beating up the guards around the place. Mekan, now alert, flashed a smile, pressed a button, and ran out of his office.
Alarms started blaring around the place. Shinturo was relaxing when they started going off. Knowing that there was an intruder, he quickly rushed to the chamber room. On the way, he bumped into many people – the maid, who had lots of vegetables which were now on the ground, the chef, who was able to dodge just in time,Shinturo’s father, who, after realising what had happened, followed Shinturo.
Shinturo and his father kept running until they reached the chamber room. The room was extremely dark. There was no floor. It was an entire unending void. Right in the middle of the void, there was a pillar.
On the pillar, surging with energy, rested the Crystal of Ziandric.
Shinturo turned to his faher and said, “I’ll take the crystal and run. I can protect it” His father gave a nod, and Shinturo floated to the crystal. He said, “Tuere. Salvatoris. Defensio. Potestas” Then, he picked up the crystal and shouted, “OPEN.” An escape hatch opened up and Shinturo used it to get out of the room.
Shinturo was now in a tropical rainforest, and he started fleeing with the powerful sapphire crystal in his sweaty hands. All of a sudden, a tree broke and fell right behind him. He saw a bit of blood fall on the ground at the same time. Shirotsu knew that the intruders had found him. There was no point in running, so he flew up and looked around. There was a dark guy looking at him and Shinturo was unable to get a view of his face, so Shinturo said, “You want this crystal? Then take it from me.”
The reply came from a dark scraggly voice, “Fine. Let’s do this the hard way,” a sword suddenly appeared in his hand, “ Slashes of Pure Darkness.” The guy swung his sword thrice, and 3 slices of black came at him. Shinturo analysed his situation and dodged all of the slashes. Then, wasting no time, he quickly shouted, “Blinding Light!”
A sharp, strong light came from Shinturo’s finger and went at the guy. “Nothing is faster than light”
And he was right. The guy got hit and went flying back down into the forest. Shinturo was about to continue running when suddenly the same scraggly voice came shouting, “SPECIAL MOVE : ETERNAL DARKNESS!” The entire area turned black, and the only thing Shinturo could see was darkness.
Shinturo turned around and saw the hooded figure take off its hood. Shinturo then saw something he could have never expected. Now, if someone saw something shocking, like pineapple on pizza, they would probably do something about it. But Shinturo could not move after his moment of shock. Standing there, in front of him, was his homes security : Mekan.
“Mekan, what on Earth are you doing??” asked Shinturo with a voice indicating great surprise.
“Oh.. allow me to tell you. I HATE being your security. I HATE constantly protecting your stupid crystal. So.. I will take that crystal and end you.”
Shinturo, knowing that he was in trouble, shouted, “SPEACIAL ATTACK : ENLIGHTENED BLITZ!”
Shinturo flashed through Mekan trice and then kicked him extremely hard. Mekan fell down, and the dark barrier that was previously present now disappeared.
Later, Shinturo visited Mekan, who was now sitting in a anti-power cell. He started asking questions, “Why did you attack the crystal? I need an explanation. Who is making you do this?”
“K920”
“WHAT??”
