LiteratureRe: Juju Man by Devilpen(op): 8:34am On Oct 31, 2021
Arc 3
Chapter 4

With the JujuMan leading with massive points, it was certain the rule of the game would change to work against them. The game anchor appeared the middle of the arena and let out a loud shout of excitement.
"And today we will decide who our strongest guild is, with just three more games to go. The JujuMan looks like they are favoured but this is where their true test comes in"
The whole arena went quite and was calm.
"What is he thinking?" Ekun asked and turned to Omni.
"Don't look at me like that, I can't just pop in and out of people's mind anyhow" Omni replied.
"I'm slotting you in for the next match " Ekun said and grinned.
"That's impossible, I'm a member of this guild, but don't forget I'm God and it's inappropriate taking fight with humans, everyone can feel my enormous power already" Omni said and shifted his gaze to where members of the magic alter were seated all staring at him.
"Tch"
"The rule for this round is simple" the commentator said, took a short pause and continued "Every fighter will be given tags according to their score on the board, ten tags will be the maximum, which goes to the JujuMan rep. What you have to do is simple, collect a tag from someone earns you points depending on what point is on the tag, and the least point on a JujuMan tag is 20 points"
The whole crowd went into wild cheer immediately the commentator said those words.
"This is bad, they'd be coming for only the JujuMan, our tag is enough to give them the boost they need, this is like eight against one" Ayo said in fright.
"Calm down, analyse the game and see who is fit to participate" Ekun shouted at Ayo.
"DAMI" Omni answered "this is a game of speed and not strength, he has to keep his distance until the time runs out"
***

Dami and Victoria, the switch and mimick magic user both walked into the arean. Victoria acting as a defense, while Dami would be holding to all ten tags.
"Every guild will be coming for us, so you should stay behind me, I'll see through their powers mimick it and use it as a counter, and if it comes to worst, you know what to do".
Soon the arena was filled with two members each from every guilds.
"Begin" the commentator announced and vanished.
A huge wall that cut across the entire arena suddenly came out of the ground, separating the JujuMan representative from the others.
"What's wrong?" Dami asked lowly.
On the other end, was an intense fight going on, a member of the Action Dog guild had made the huge thick wall as demacation.
"We have to stay alert" Victoria said and placed her left hand on the ground.
"An intense fight is going on on the other part, I can feel various magics" Victoria said and stood up.
The wall suddenly blasted off, sending huge debris into the air and thick dust that was hard to see through.
The dust soon filled the entire arena making it to easily dodge the stone debris that came at them.
A huge stone suddenly hit Victoria on the head which immediately sent her unconscious.
"Tch, very annoying trick" Dami muttered.
He noticed a hand come forth, aiming for the tags on him from the stone debris that was hurling at him and immediately blinked away to safety.
"He is within the stones" Dami muttered and squinted his eyes to see through the dust.
A hard punch came at his face, sending him hard to the ground.
"He is everywhere, the entire dust is him" Dami muttered again and stood to his feet, then noticed three of the ten points tag we're already taken from him
"This is so interesting, we are all blinded, no one can see what is going in there, we just have to keep our fingers crossed and see who emerges from the dust, when the time is up" the commentator shouted at the top.of his voice.
"Two of them, one in the dust, the other in the stone "
Ekun growled and looked at Omni with a dreadful expression on his face.
"What?" Omni asked with a silly look on his face.
"You asked him to go in right?"
"When?"
"Don't play dumb, do something"
"Isn't that cheating?" Omni asked
"Eeerrrrhhehehe" Ekun shouted in frustration.
Dami felt a force pull him to the ground and sank his leg into thick solid sands and within the thick dust, he saw a huge stone transform into a human figure and got closer to him.
"You should just keep running, it would be hard to get you that way" the Action dog rep said and knelt down before Dami while taking off all his tags.
"Wwwhhhhhaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!" Ekun shouted as the real time score board was showing the JujuMan points dropping so fast and the action dog going up the rank.
"This is disaster" Aanu shouted at the top.of his voice. "There is just two minutes left and Action Dogs are already third on the table"
Victoria groaned as she opened her eyes and within the dust she saw Dami already hooked and the tags going off him.
"Mimick magic, Rain magic" she muttered and jammed her palms together.
"Riot floooooddd" she shouted in Bibi's voice and suddenly a huge well of water suddenly bursted out from the ground, and swiftly it spread all over, completely covering the whole arena, except the audience stand.
The materials of the dust and stone changed and became impossible for the users to manipulate their magic.
Victoria swam towards Dami who was drowning and pulled him out from the ground, she turned towards the Action Dog member with their tag and made air bubbles around her hand and smashed him hard on the face.
And quickly they retrieved their tags and took all of the action dog members tag.
She summoned back the water before everyone would drown.
"She used my magic" Bibi said and let out a wide grin
"The JujuMan are always filled with surprise" someone shouted from the crowd which followed by loud cheers.
"And time upppppppp!!!!" The commentator shouted and appeared in the arena.
"It's hard to believe but they have all tags from every member, this is massssive. At this point it is impossible to meet up with them, which makes our next game tougher for them, easy for others, and in this effect, they are advised to add one more member to the fight team".
***

"They are all focused on the magic tournament. Tomorrow we will strike with the deadliest disease, we sell them the cure and we become rich" a short figure in the dark said and chuckled softly.
"Yes master, at first it'll be a mass death, starting from the magic tournament, this will bring more sales, we become rich and can rule the affairs of the kingdom from the dark" another dark figure said and both of them went into hysterical laughter.

Arc 3
Chapter 3
Gudambolt, the elderly member of the magic alter walked into the court. Ekun and Ini standing in the defense box. The tension could be felt in the air.
Dark aura oozing out from Ekun's body.
"Calm down, this is not the part where your precious Aanu turns bad" a familiar voice said within him.
"Omni?" Ekun replied in his mind
"Yup, I thought I'd come down here and uhhm you know, be a member of the JujuMan Guild" Omnipresent replied and giggled.
"Tch"
"Let the hearing begin" a member of the court shouted and hit the bell with him.

Remi and Ire found Aanu sitting on the bare floor of his father's room, clinching tight to the hand drawn portrait his father owned.
"I killed him" Aanu said sobbing.
"Hey, at one point or another we always have something or someone previous to loss" a cool unrecognized voice said behind them from the main entrance.
Remi and Ire both turned around to see who it was. It was a boy about Remi's height, a slim body frame and green hairs.
"Who are you?" Remi asked
"Huhhhnnn" the boy muttered and pulled his right sleeve up revealing the JujuMan logo "My name is Omni" he said and smiled "and Master asked me to check on Aanu since I was around the area"
"I've never heard of you, all other members master talked about not you" Remi replied with a suspicious look on his face.
"I see, anyways ask what you want so you'd feel at ease" Omni replied.
"Now is not the time for that" Ire chipped in
"Aanu, I have one last message from your father and he'd like to tell you himself" Omni said out loud, immediately his words got Aanu's attention.
A slight knock came at the door and behind Omni, walked in Aanu's father with a radiant smile on his face.
"Dad" Aanu said in awe.
"What is this trick? I saw him die" Remi said in shock.
"No, he is real" Aanu muttered and stood up and suddenly dashed at his father and gave him a tight hug.
"How is this possible?" Aanu muttered and looked at Omni.
"I have little time though, the young man over there brought me through the realm to say my last words" Aanu's father said and smiled
"Come guys, allow them be" Omni said and signalled to others to leave the room.
While outside, Remi kept staring deep into Omni rainbow eyeball. His is white, Ire is blue, Aanu is crimson, Ekun has a black set of eyeball, and it was the first time he was seeing a multi colored eyeballs.
"You're curious about my eyes" Omni said with a broad smile on his face.
"Anyone would be, you're mysterious, you're a member of the guild, your eyes, I know you're trying to suppress your magic power, but still I can still feel how enormous it is, like it's infinite "
"You'll know me in due time, and I'll be staying around this time, so calm" Omni replied with a bright smile.
A heavy punch suddenly came at his face, smashing it hard, the shock from the punch only made him tilt his head slightly to the left.
"ARRGHHHHH" Remi screamed out in pain as a result of a broken wrist.
"Did you punch me?" Omni asked
"Tch, what are made of, I really wanted to break your jaw"
"Eyaaaaa, and I thought you only pulled my chin, Pele my dear" Omni replied
"See ehn" Remi said while readjusting his broekn wrist "Let this be between the both of us alone ehn"
"But I saw it too" Ire replied with a smirk on her face.
"When did you get back?"
"I've seen my parents they are well so no need of me staying longer" Ire replied and stick out her tongue at Remi "E pain am"
"The magic game continues tomorrow " Omni said.
"Ehhn, I thought three of Red Riot members are dead" Right said in awe
"Nothing to bother about, I took care of it they are alive and the Magic Alter has called off their charges" Omni replied and sighed.
Aanu walked out of the house and let out a heavy sigh of relief and smiled at his team mates.
"I'm good now, I already told Nubia to met us at the guild" Aanu said radiating with happiness
"What happened inside?" Remi asked calmly.
"Huuhh sadly you don't have a father, you for kill am make you self know wetyn dey" Aanu replied with a silly look on his face
"Funny enough, you murdered the man" Remi replied coldly.
"Ehh, humans so fragile" Aanu replied and walked closer to Remi.
"Come on, we have a game to fight"
Omni smiled and snapped his finger and immediately they all disappeared and appeared inside the guild hall.
"Aaarrrrguhhhhh, the hall is back !!!" Aanu screamed "and better"
"Stop shouting guy, Omni did it, master said he had always been a faceless member" Trigger answered while standing at the request board.
"I can't wait to finish this game and go back on missions " Trigger shouted.
"See who is shouting" Aanu said and began to mould fireballs in his hands.
"Crimsonnnnnn blassst!!!" He shouted and threw the fireball at Trigger.
The whole hall immediately went into chaos, with everyone going into a random brawl.
"This guild " Omni said and sighed.
"Aaarrghhh!!!" Remi shouted at the top of his voice and began to charge forward immediately he saw the person in front of h was Omni, he paused and changed direction.

Arc 3
Chapter 2
Remi leaped from one tree to another, and as soon as he got on another tree the previous one blasted off. He heaved and leaped on to another tree, grabbed a branch and launced himself into the air.
As soon as he touched ground, he rolled over and continued to dash off. A hit suddenly came at him from the back making him losse balance and fell hard to the ground.
"No matter how hard you run, you have no where to go, their" a husky said from behind and he could hear their footsteps getting closer.
Remi rolled over panting and clinching tight to his pocket.
"Please let me go with this" Remi pleaded, looking at the three huge men that came for him
"Tch, two silver coins aren't something that can be overlooked" the man in the middle said and knelt down in front of Remi
"But you stole them too" Remi said
A hard slap came on Remi's face, leaving behind finger marks on his cheeks.
"Break his hands, maybe it'll teach him a lesson" the leader said and moved back while the other two came closer.
They pulled Remi up roughly and tight to his left hand. One of them held it tight and the other powered up his fist so he could smash Remi's hand to piece.
Remi screamed out and suddenly strong winds spread out from his body, throwing everyone of them off balance. And within the dust the rised into the air, all that could be heard were cracking on bones and loud screams.
The dust died down revealing Remi bathed in the blood of his opponents and there they were laying in their own pool of blood.
Omnipresent became visible alongside Ekun.
"That was how he began, soon rised to be fourth most wanted on the bingo book of his hometown" Omnipresent said and sighed.
"You don't have to show me all this" Ekun said in a sad tone
"But you came through for him, even though you didn't bother to know about his past, and all of them"
"How do I reset the timeline?"

***

Aanu opened his eyes and saw the whole JujuMan member gathered around him. Feeling dizzy and trying to gather his memories together.
"Argh" he strained as he stood up "they really destroyed our guild " he said and noticed the gloomy expression on their faces "What's wrong ?"
"We had more than one loose Aanu, you went berserk yesterday night and killed three of the Red Riot Guild member" Ekun said avoiding eye contact with Aanu
Aanu stood still, glued to his position and unsure about what to say or how he should feel. They deserved to die, but the trouble it would cause was huge and unpredictable.
"And your father too, he did while returning you back to normal" Ekun added and fell hard to his knees.
While Aanu was still trying to process all that Ekun told him. Heavy footsteps began to approach them. Looking towards the direction, they saw it was soldiers from the King's Palace and members of the Magic Alter and other top magic officials.
About three hundred foot soldiers stormed the area and took their formations while the members of the magic alter all walked forward towards the Jujuman.
"We have come for the murderer " the elderly man said and strecthed out his staff at Aanu.
"What do you mean?" Ekun asked and growled loudly .
"By the order of the King, he has been ordered to be captured and tried" the ekderman replied and smashed his staff on the ground.
"I'd like to see any of you take me along" Aanu said with a devilish tone and stood up.
The heat radiating from his body began to burn and shred his clothes and every other person could feel it.
"Boss, he is going berserk again" Remi said out in fright.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything here, I hereby denounce myself a member of the JujuMan guild, I have caused you enough trouble" Aanu said and suddenly spread out red wings from his back.
"I pronounce myself an outcast and an enemy of Jemba, I know what I have to do now" Aanu said and growled.
"I'd rule this fragile world and unite everyone under me, bring the right Justice and make people tremble when they do wrong. This is the only way to bring true peace" Aanu said and smiled devilishly.
"It is clear you're out of your mind, surrender now" a member of the alter shouted even though it was clear Aanu's magic was off chart and overpowered them all.
"Catch me first" Aanu said and flapped his strong wings, which sent him into the sky like a rocket.
Without any objection, Nubia spread out her wings and followed suit.
Ekun screamed out at the top of his voice and smashed his palms together.
"How are you going to compensate for this?" Ekun asked and turned towards the elderly man "Because I feel like killing someone"

Arc 3
The Pains and Struggles.
Chapter 1
Omnipresent had a soothing aura that kept everyone at ease, but his overwhelming power which was beyond comprehension retained the tension in everyone at the same time.
"Ekun we need to talk" He said and snapped his finger and instantly everyone in the hall disappeared except Ekun.
"What did you do to them?" Ekun asked and gritted his teeth, at this moment he didn't care about the large margin of power he witnessed in his opponent.
"They are safe, you can hear their noises, especially that noisy Aanu" Omnipresent said and found himself a seat.
"What do you want and who are you?, no human had this kind of enormous magic"
"Yeah, I'm not a human, let's get down to business" Omnipresent said and relaxed his back on the chair "You tampered with the timeline and I want you to fix it"
Ekun starred deeply at Omnipresent, while he was lost in thought. Who was this stranger that knew what he did and could command him with such audacity.
"I don't know what you're talking about " Ekun replied and folded his hands.
"In every timeline you're the same, stubborn, you hardly think but above all, you cherish these children and see them as your family, even though your own daughter has completely gone astray and nothing can be done to bring her back to the way of light" Omnipresent said.
At this Ekun got infuriated, and freed his folded hands then made a fist.
"When was the last time you went to visit her in Sheoul where you kept her and hid her from the outside world?"
"Don't talk about my daughter" Ekun said, filled with rage and hatred.
"It is your fault her life is ruined, you were not there when she needed you, you left home in search of power, you made an eternal emptiness in her and you want to repeat same mistake with Aanu" Omnipresent said.
"Shut your mouth hehh!!!" Ekun shouted and suddenly dashed at Omnipresent, launched a punch at him and suddenly fell to the ground.
"What do you think will happen when Aanu finds out you did this to him and his father is dead, unlike you who was a bad father, he has a father that cherished him, will you ruin that freedom?" Omnipresent said, sitting on the bar in the hall.
"Shut up" Ekun said growling.
"Face the truth and grow up"
"If I hadn't done what I did, he would have gone rogue, turned evil like Lilian and gone down the rough part " Ekun said panting.
"No matter how hard you try, no matter how many reality you make, Aanu will one day go through the dark part and you can't stop it " Omnipresent said.
"You don't know the future" Ekun said.
"Wrong, I know everything, I gave humans my power, what you all share as magic power is just 5% of my power, I know what is, what will and what has come" Omnipresent said and stood to his feet.
"It is your duty to walk him down the path of light, but what you did, is affecting everyone's life and you have no right to dictate how people live their lives" Omnipresent said.
"But I am orote8 them"
"You're not, you're making things worse. Look at Ini at the match, he was totally rogue, ceasing the air like he made it, imagine if he turns evil completely, he could kill millions in one day. That Ekun, that is the reality you created" Omnipresent said.
Ekun smashed his fist into the ground and let out a loud cry
"Come let me show you why, why you don't get to decide other people's existence and change the balance of thing. Let's walk through the life of all your guild members and see the pains each and everyone of them has been dealing with until this very moment and see why they need you" Omnipresent said and snapped his fingers.
REMI
Little Remi fell hard to the ground, and tried shielding his fragile body from the heavy kicks that came at him.
"Don't ever interfere in what we do, Basta**Rd" a kid shouted and smashed his heavy boot on Remi's head.
"That will do, you are a slave in this house and we don't recognize you as a brother" another shouted and spat on him.
Remind groaned softly, trying to keep all the pains in. His visions were already blurry and blood dripping all over his face, his clothes were torn and tattered.
He picked himself up and looked at the mansion he lived in from afar, once a home now seemed like an asylum and a palace of horror.
Unable to contain all the pain, he scremaed out with a broken soul.
"None of you had to leave this early " he said sobbing and turned his back, and began walking into the forest before him.
"That is how he started, someone from a family of royals, he lost his parents, victims of robbery. Left alone with his step mother and brothers who makes life unbearable for him" Omnipresent said and slowly became visible alongside Ekun.
"Why did you bring me here?"
"You'll understand" Omnipresent replied and snapped his fingers making both of them fade into the air.
Feeling weak Remi tried coordinating himself, as he staggered from left to right. Barely noticing his environment, he mistakenly stepped on a cobra which instantly retaliated by striking him on the leg.
"Aaarrghhh" Remi scremaed out in pain and fell hard to the ground.

Arc 2
Chapter 13
Ekun fell hard to the ground, and coughed out blood, he let out excruciating pain and tried picking himself up, just then Ini grabbed his head from behind and smashed it into the ground.
Ini smiled wickedly and raised his right hand up.
"Form 1, wind of bloodlust" henmll said and suddenly the wind gathered around his hand, and faintly visible, taking a shape of a sword.
"Is this the way he is trying to atone for what he did?" Remi thought within himself and gritted his teeth, while sweat broke out on his face.
"Get up you old son of a thousand father, no amount of beating will atone for your mistake, our pride is at stake here. Punch him hard in the face" Remi shouted at the top of his voice, making his neck veins to pop out.
"You are all fired up" Aanu muttered as he got close to Remi "Heeeeeee.. is that our old man laying helpless on the ground" Aanu shouted.
Omnipresent sighed from where he sat and stretched his hands forward.
"He can't hear you in the crowd, lemme help you" he said and made the words of Remi loud in Ekun's head "If he dies he will be useless and won't be able to undo that which he has done" .
Hearing the words in his head, Ekun shut his eyes tightly. Remind was right all along, getting beating this much wasn't enough to atone for his mistake, no not mistake.
Ini screamed out loudly as he sent the sword straight at Ekun. The wind suddenly seemed to ceased and for some few seconds everyone was out of breath and the atmosphere lacked oxygen.
As soon as he drove the sword into Ekun, a sudden boom suddenly took over, raising dust into the air, and sending strong Sonic waves all over.
"Humans, never ceases to amaze me, such tremendous power, that's like 1.percent of my power, but he is putting it to good use" Omnipresent said feeling impressed.
The dust slowly died down, revealing Ekun standing far from Ini, who was kneeling on the ground in a crater.
"What happened within that few seconds?" Aanu asked in awe.
"Our old man is serious now" Remi said and smiled.
Ini growled and once again the wind in the atmosphere suddenly was no more, it went longer and soon everyone was running out of oxygen, while some had begin to collapse and out of breathe.
"He is seizing the air" Aanu shouted.
Ekun suddenly charged at Ini, jammed his knucles together and suddenly appeared before him, and send an uppercut at him.
The punch hit hard on Ini's jaw, sending him into the sky and immediately the air returned.
Gasp for fresh air filled the entire arena, as people began to get relieved, which soon followed by loud booing noises and chants of disapproval from the crowd.
Ekun strengthened his leg muscles and launched into the sky after Ini and gave him an headbutt on the stomach.
"Urrrghhh" Ini screamed out and grabbed Ekun by the head, still in mid air.
Ini held firm to Ekun's head and suddenly began to move in circular path, faster than the eye could follow.
"Terrible Hurricane " Ini shouted and launched Ekun towards the ground.
While coming down like an asteriod, Ini launched at Ekun, and scremaed out loud and rammed his fist into his stomach.
THUUIIIMMMM!!! Was the sound of the punch as soon as it hit Ekun.
Adding to the speed, Ekun crashed hard to the ground, bounced into the air, crashed down again and rolled for some few distance before doing a flip and gained balance.
"Now I'm mad" Ekun said and breath out smoke from his nostrils.
"Aanu fire magic" he muttered and suddenly his left part went up in flames "Remi strength magic" he said again and his right part got empowered and got bigger in size "Copy magic complete".
"Ooohhhhhhhhh, goosebumps " Omnipresent shouted from where he sat and then jumped to his feet, then began to find his way towards the JujuMan stand.
"Wait" Aanu shouted at the top of his voice.
"Did he just copy our magic " Aanu shouted
"Oga calm down, he isn't done yet " Remi replied.
"Dami speed magic, extra mimic complete" Ekun muttered and strecthed his left leg backward, leaned his upper body forward, his right hand cut across his face and his left hand behind. "Here I come"
Ekun suddenly disppeared, all that.could be seen was the trail of fire that follwed behind him and the dust that raised in the air behind him.
He suddenly appeared behind Ini and smashed his spinal cord with his flaming fist, before Ini could smash against the ground, Ekun suddenly appeared before him and smashed him face with the strength of Remi, using the speed magic on his leg to coordinate his attack.
He went behind and grabbed Ini by the neck, threw him into the sky, and waited patiently for him to drop down. As soon as he got to the fist level, Ekun changed from Remi's magic to Nicolas Animal transformation, making his hand become as hard as the scales of a crocodile.
ARRGHHHHH!!! Ekun screamed and rammed the punch hard at Ini's face
THUUIIIMMMM!!! The punch landed on Ini's face and sent him off into the distance and crashed against the wall of the arena.
"I'm not done and I know you can still take more" Ekun said and suddenly his finger tips turned into barrel.
"That is my magic, the legendary gun magic" Trigger shouted.
Ini tried standing to his feet, but before he could do anything Ekun was standing before him already.
"You never see anything" Ekun said and started firing bullets at Ini.
"Bullet russshhhhhh!!!" Ekun shouted.
Trash traa trrraaaaa traaaaa.. the bullets rush out boring holes into Ini's body and moving him backward as each shot came at him.
Ekun screamed out and gave a final blow that tore off Ini's cloth and rendered him unconscious
"TOOOTTTALLLL HUMILIATION" The commentator shouted at the top of his voice.
***
***
While the JujuMan were celebrating the door to their hall suddenly crashed open, revealing Omnipresent standing at the entrance.
The magic power he gave off, made sweat break out on everyone's face including Ekun. Everyone could feel cold chills down their spine.
"We need to talk" he said and took steps forward.

Chapter 12
Lady Vermillion walked into the waiting room for the JujuMan Guild and placed a gently knock on the door, drawing everyone's attention to herself
"You going up next" she said and walked closer to Ekun.
"When are you going to tell him?" Aanu shouted at the top of his voice at Lady Vermillion.
"Huhn, tell him what?" She asked, pretending not to know what Aanu meant.
"The question " Aanu replied and scoffed
The room temperature steadily began to drop and ice began to form on the wall, growing at a steady rate. An ice suddenly shot out from nowhere at Aanu.
Grabbing it with swift reflex, Aanu made his body go up in flames and instantly began to rival the ice. Melting it as it grew.
"Tch" Lady Vermillion said and powered down
"Just ask him and put your mind at rest" Aanu said and walked closer to her.
"I will have you pay dea..."
"Abeg getat" Aanu replied, cutting her short of her words and walked out.
"What do you want?" Ekun asked calmly and stood up from where he sat.
"I came to wish you the best" she replied smiling sheeply.
"I've really messed everything up" he thought within himself and forced a smile on his face.
"Thank you" he said and sighed "I have to go now".

OMNIPRESENT
The maker of all magic
A young boy stood up from his magistic throne made of brilliant cool flame. Taking cautious steps as he descend the steps. He found his way to the large pool in front of the throne, some few distance away.
"Someone tampered with the timeline again " he said in a cool and soothing voice.
Displaying in the pool of water were various golden lines and among these millions of lines was only one that was attached to another.
"The reality here is mixing up with this one, giving two realities at the same time, one person will be having two different experience of life" he said and reached out to separate the line but was suddenly thrown off balance.
"Even I who is omnipresent can't tamper with the timeline, a rule I set for myself so I can keep everyone safe" he said and sighed "Seems I'll be going on a visit to this timeline and wait, who tampered with the timeline ??"
The lines on the pool swiftly took another shape which turned out to be Ekun.
"Aaarrghhh. This man again" Omnipresent shouted and fell freely to the ground. "Why, why did this creature tamper with it, he has caused enough trouble in every reality he is in now he wants to cause me trouble"
Omnipresent sniffed loudly and let out a sneeze that made him sink into the ground creating a crater around him.
"Dark magic, he should have known better than to use it, hopefully what makes him use it is worth it, would have like to go back in time and see what happened, but I won't. Time isn't something you tamper with as you like, not even me" He said and stood up to his feet.
"To earth it is " he said and suddenly turned into dust.

Ekun inserted his metal knuckles as he walked into the arena with bare chest which had different kinds of scars on it. With a grin on his face. He continued until he was few inches away from Ini, the guild master for Red Gecko.
"He is going all out" Remi said and sighed "He only uses his knuckles when he is angry or when his mind is in disorder " Remi said to the other guild members.
"What could be making him angry and disorganized, it's unlike him" Aanu blurted out.
"It's you, Aanu it's you. He is protecting you from yourself at the expense of his own life, more like saving humanity with the wrong method" Remi thought within himself and sighed.
"Who knows?" Remind said out louldy "It's a good match "
The crowd gave loud cheers, going wild with excitement. Two violent masters were going up against each other, and everyone was hyped already. No one dear blinked an eye.
"Waaawwwuuu, e remain small I for miss this thing" Omnipresent shouted in excitement as he struggled through the crowd with his small stature. He finally found a free spot at the third row and sat down.
"Small entertainment fess. That my place too boring" he muttered to himself and let out a loud shout.
"The rules are clear, you have ten minute, may the best guild win. FIGHT"
Aanu felt a sharp pain run through his head and in a flash, he saw himself standing in the midst of flames and wide range destruction, unconscious bodies laying around him.
He shook his head and let out a soft groan, unsure about what he saw. Just then he heard a loud ring in his head. Trying not to raise any suspicion, he found his way to the guild's waiting room and head for the rest room.
He shut the door behind him and fell hard to the ground then let out a loud scream.
Next he saw himself being pinned down by his father, what was happening was unclear but the next thing he saw was his father exploded.
"What is happening ?" He asked himself as the pain suddenly vanished.
He reduced his panting and washed his face.
"I hope all is well" he asked himself and head back out.

Arc 2
Chapter 11
Aanu slowly opened his eyes, he felt another weight on him and immediately knew it was Nubia, who was always fond of sleeping next to him and her head rested on his chest.
"Err, that was some wild dream I had " he muttered and closed his eyes briefly, then opened them back.
"It felt real, maybe it's just the side effect of the awakening of my secondary powers" he thought within himself and let out a soft sigh. He tiltled his head to the left and saw Iyanu sleeping on Nubia's bed and gritted his teeth.
3 Hours Ago.
As soon as Ekun step into the portal carrying Aanu on his hand he mumbled inaudible words and completely walked in.
Present.
Ekun fell hard to the ground in his room and began to vomit blood from his mouth. No matter how hard he tried to hold back, he couldn't help it.
He began panting heavily and soon losed a hold of himself and collapsed to the ground while his breathe slowly began to go faint and his body began to grow cold. He was dying, he knew it, but he was helpless.
Ekun slowly opened his eyes and felt cold water press against his face with a towel. He let out a soft groan and sighed.
"You overdid yourself" Remi said while hently pressing Ekun's forehead with the towel dipped in cold water.
"You used dark magic to reset the timeline and wipe everyone's memory, so that no one would remember Wura" Remi said and dipped the towel inside the bowl of water and sighed.
"You really had to go to such length, what do you think will happen if Aanu finds out?"
"I dont expect you to understand why I had to do that" Ekun replied and strained.
"But for some reason you didn't wipe off my own memories and you excluded me when you were reseting the time, merging other reality into this our own, if you didn't trust me you wouldn't have done that, what else are you not telling me?" Remind asked calmly.
"I could not add Aanu's father to the resetting, his powers were too much, if I did that, this existence will be destroyed " Ekun replied and managed to sit himself on the bed.
Remi stood in shock at what Ekun told him.
"Some how I have to cover this mess and find something to tell him about his father" Ekun said and let out a slight cough and placed his left hand on his chest where he had felt sharp pain.
"Your hand!" Remi said and pointed at Ekun's hand.
Ekun sighed on seeing that his entire palm had already gone black and looked like stone.
"What is that?"
"A part of your body is sacrificed when you use dark magic that is as powerful as rewinding time and merging another reality with it" Ekun replied and smiled. "It's a win win, nobody knows what happen except you, the tournament can continue "
"You might have messed up our existence big time, I have a feeling so many has changed"
***
***
The Master for the Red Riot Guild stood at the top of the guild roof and raised his left hand into the sky, and summouned down lightning. He raised the right hand up and made strong and fierce winds out from it.
"Tomorrow, I'll show the guild masters who is the strongest, it's a debut match, a opening ceremony for the magic game where all masters fight and gather point raising the chance of their guild winning when the members start the real match, I have waited and craved for this very moment" he said at the top.of voice and began to laugh hysterically.
***
***
Aanu jumped out from bed and screamed out at the top of voice.
"Waaaakkkkeeee upppppp" he shouted and puffed out smoke from his nostrils.
"Today is the first match, and guild masters are the one fighting against each other, I'll finally get to see the true strength of our old man" he shouted and ran out of the room.
"Does he have to make such noise, it's too early" Iyanu muttered with heavy eyes.
"Shut up, or I'll incinerate you" Nubia said sluggishly and puffed at Iyanu.
Aanu bumped into Remi on the hallway that led to Ekun's main Chambers.
"Are youuuuuuu bliiiinnnnnnddd" Aanu shouted and went up in flames.
"You should be preparing for today's match from yesterday" Remi said and had a disappointed look in his face.
"Come closer" Aanu said calmly.
As soon as Remi got closer to him. Aanu placed his right palm on Remi's head and sighed.
"On the right side of your brain there is nothing left and on the left part there is nothing right" Aanu said with his eyes closed.
"What about the middle?" Remi asked.
"Filled with catarrh, today is the first match, and it's among guild masters" Aanu said while tapping his feet in excitement."We both anticipated this right and we made a bet already." Aanu said "Comot road, I need to get that old man up" Aanu said and ran off
"The timeline has been destroyed" Remi said. "I'll have so many catching up to do, I'll have to talk less, act less or interfere in anything since I don't know what the new reality is" Remi said and smashed his hand against the wall.
Aanu smashed down the door that led to Ekun's room and immediately dashed at him. Before Ekun could realize what was happening Aanu already dived forward and gave him a powerful headbutt on the stomach.
"Arrgghhhhhhhhh" Ekun screamed out at the top of his voice as he was smashed against the wall.
"Don't try to run away this time " Aanu shouted and made a grin.
"I never run away"
"You do, the last time Lady Vermillion of Goddess Guild challenged you, you were no where to be found for a whole month, I'm not letting that happen again. You must fight" Aanu shouted and went up in flames.
"Enough! You first born of the devil" Ekun said and let himself fall freely to the ground in deep thought.
"I've messed it up in other to cover things up, what else have I done that I don't know of?" He asked himself and sighed.
***
***
Ekun walked into the arena alongside every Masters, a fight to secure a safe spot for their guild members on the ranking. The loud cheers from the crowd grew louder by the seconds. People holding up placards to support the guild they loved.
Ekun could see the logo of JujuMan Guild as much as the sands on the shore.
"Relieved to know we didn't ruin anything yet " he muttered.
"This is the moment we've all been waiting for rrrrrrrr" the commentator shouted and suddenly appeared before the fighters "An anticipated match" he said calmly and raised his hands up which was followed by loud cheers.
"The rule is simple, there are nine guilds in total, to make the match even, our strongest member from the King's Alter will join this fight, so you can match up in twos" the commentator said, smiled and continued "Look at the magic screen above, that is who you fight with. The grading is simple, you win before the end of ten minutes, you gather twenty points, a draw from 10 points and a lose for 0 point"
"What is a King Magic?" Ekun thought within himself and sighed
"Let then pairing begin"
Everyone raised their head to look at the magic screen and to see who they were paired with.
"Match 4, Red Gecko versus JujuMan " Ekun muttered "Who is red Gecko?" He shouted at the top of his voice.
"Errr, it's a good thing I'm paired with you, it's high time I sit you where you belong" Ini shouted and began to walk closer to Ekun, with an evil aura all over him.
"No need to get fired up before the match, I'll come along with a broom or a spray to deal with you the right way, the way geckos are being dealt with" Ekun replied and walked out on him.
"What has gotten into him, the Ekun I know would have caused chaos by now" Lady Vermillion thought and smiled "He is growing up" she added and also walked out of the arena.
"When did Red Riot become Red Gecko?". Remind thought within himself from where he stood and sighed.

Heeelllllooooo!!!. ��� I want to appreciate you'll for reading my JujuMan series and I'm glad you're loving it.
So I was thinking maybe I should write a spin-off.
Should I write about other guilds, and keep the JujuMan Guild aside for some few chapters, let's take a dive into the affairs of other guilds. Let's see what happens in other guilds for let's say Ten chapters before we go back to JujuMan Guild.
It's totally what you decide. If you don't want it, we can continue with our main characters.

Please lemme know what you think.

Arc2
Chapter 10
The Magic Alter immediately gathered all members, everyone took their rightful position at the alter, while Ekun, and Ini the guild master for Red Riot stood before the alter.
"Ekun has brought a complain and we have confirmed it to be true, a member of the Red Riot raided the hideout of the JujuMan and burnt it down completely, killing the youngest of the guild member" the elderly member of the alter said.
"She was just seven" Ekun said, the pain he felt followed with his expression.
"I haven't heard of this"
A loud boom suddenly diverted their attention, it loud boom came again and quickly they all rushed outside to see what was happening.
"That is the direction of the Red Riot, what is happening " a member of the Magic Alter asked.
Without uttering a word, Ekun knew what was going and quickly took to his heels, running towards the direction the boom was coming from, and behind him was Ini and all members of the Magic Alter following behind him.
They all halted as an inferno shot up into the sky.
"This magic, is registered with a member of your guild" the lady in the group said and instantly they all continued, running as fast as their legs could carry them.
Getting to the Red Riot Guild hall, what they met was ash, the guild was completely razed down, no single brick was left, nothing solid could be seen.
On the ground was all the guild members laying unconscious and Aanu standing right at the center with a devilish countenance on him.
He already had horns on his head which were up in flames, his eyes dripped out molten lava, with his iris already the shape of a serpent, his body was completely covered in scales.
"What has he done?" In asked in awe "What kind of monster do you breed?"
"Certainly not cheap losers like you, at least he kept them alive " Ekun replied.
Aanu raised his head up and let out a wide grin and stretched his hand towards Ini.
"Are you the master, I have come for your life" Aanu said and chuckled
"He is not himself anymore, if I'm right that is a dragon influence on him, we have to bring him down" a member of the Magic Alter said and slammed his hands together.
Ekun took few steps backwards, he couldn't bring himself to going up against his child as he is found of calling them.
"We don't expect you to fight him, you have enough to deal with"
All five member of the Magic Alter all dashed at Aanu, each powering up their magic as they got closer.
"Light magic, paralysing arrow" a member shouted and immediately a bow formed around his hand and instantly he pulled the string and released which followed next by multiple arrows all going for Aanu.
"Flaming shield" Aanu said lowly and instantly a huge wall of flame formed before him, and devoured the magic arrows that came at him.
"Urgh, he undid my magic"
Aanu smashed his palms together "Seeking bullet ultimate"
The bullets shot out from his finger tips, two assigned to each members.
The elderly man waved his staff in the air and smashed it on the ground making a thick ball of shield over himself, confident that it should counter the seeking bullet.
The first bullet easily peirced through the shield and went boom. The shock wave smashed the elderly man against his own shield and before he could undo his shield, the second bullet peirced through his left shoulder.
"Arrgghhhhhhhhh".
The other members ran as fast as their legs could carry them, moving round in circles, while the bullet continued to go after them.
"It won't stop until it hits you" Aanu muttered and took a step forward, swinging his hands loosely like he was under a mind control.
"Let's teach that master a lesson" he muttered and growled.
He looked at Ini who was trying to gather courage and man up. Aanu smiled and made the flames on his hands get intense.
"How shall you redeem your soul?" Aanu asked and shot out a ball of flame from his hand at a magic alter member who was still running about away from the seeking bullet. The ball of flame hit him hard and sent him crashing hard to the ground while the seeking bullet pierced him on the leg and the second one went through same peircing.
"Arrgghhhhhhhhh " the member screamed out in pain.
Ini gulped and smashed his hands together.
"I am a bad match against him, my wind magic will only make things worst" he said and began to sweat from the heat the flames around Aanu gave off.
Aanu screamed at the top of his voice and dashed at Ini, he strecthed his hands backward and made explosive flames from them, which sent him high into the sky.
"Dieeeeee" Aanu shouted while in mid air and strecthed his hands towards Ini, increasing the flames on his palm.
From the right and ball of flame suddenly smashed Aanu on the face, sent him off balance and crashed him hard into the ground.
"I am almost late, Ekun I need you help, bind him" Aanu's father shouted in mid air.
"You" Ekun muttered as he watched Aanu's father come to a running landing next to Aanu.
"I will suck up his dragon Influence flame, it's the only way to stop this, and it's temporary, his dragon influence will always come out when he is too emotional, but after this he won't remember anything, you have to protect him for me" Aanu's father said and knelt down beside Aanu who was already bind to the ground by Ekun's word magic.
"Will you be alright?" Ekun asked.
"Haven't I lived long enough?" Aanu's father asked and smiled.
He stood over Aanu and placed his left palm on Aanu's chest while the right one was on his forehead, he stared deep into Aanu's eyes and opened his mouth.
The flames in Aanu instantly began to go into his father mouth.
"So much hatred in him" Aanu's father thought within himself while he continued to suck up Aanu's flame.
It went on for five more minutes, already Aanu's father was already reaching his limit but this was something he had to do no matter what, the cost now is worth it.
His body began to break apart, and rays of light began to spread out from within him.
"You have to stop, you're going to explode if you take more his flames" Ekun shouted at the top of his voice.
Ignoring his words, Aanu's father continued sucking up the flames until the last bit. He suddenly spread out wings from his back and flew into the sky.
As soon as he got above the clouds he exploded.
"No.. no..noo...nooo!!!" Ekun cried out, the lost was too much for one day.
He collapsed to the ground next to Aanu who was already unconscious.
"I'm sorry about your lose" Ini said in a remorse tone.
"Vanish" Ekun said and instantly Ini disappeared into thine air.
Ekun stood up and carried Aanu on his hands and opened a portal right in front of himself and walked in.

Chapter 9
Ekun gritted his teeth, fuming with anger at the sight before him and his guild members.
"Who did this?" Remind asked in anger, looking at the their once beloved guild building in ruins.
The building was completely razed to the ground, a former shawdow of itself. Everything burnt to ash.
Ekun tightened his fist trying to calm his growing anger
"She was the only one we left behind" Ekun said with tears in his eyes.
Bibi and Imole carried Wura's burnt body, which was hardly recognized to be her.
"Whose blood is calm about this?" Aanu asked and stood to his feet.
The whole member broke down in tears, their spirit filled with rage and anger. That moment everyone's power went off chart.
"Crying won't solve anything" Vincent said and sniffed "We need to search for clue, and know who did this " he added, while fighting the tears that dropped down his cheeks.
"I know who did it " Ayo replied "I ran analysis and found who did it" he said and paused
"Who?" Ekun asked with a shaky and deadly tone.
"The Red Riot".
Aanu suddenly went up in flames, and began to compress blue flames beneath his leg.
"Stay down, we will deal with this the right way " Ekun said.
"Errr. What other way is right, the youngest among us was killed, burnt alive, what other way is right than paying them a friendly visit!" Aanu shouted at the top of his voice, with his anger fueling the intensity of his flame.
"It's a direct order, staaaannd down"

The door to the main building of the Magic Alter Court crashed down revealing Ekun, Remi, Norris and Nicolas.

Aanu screamed out trying to break himself free from the infinity bond Ekun had cast on him before leaving for the Magic Alter.
"Nubia let me out of here, they need to pay for what they did, they all need to diiiieeeee" he screamed out and went up in flames, which melted the chain that was holding him down and before he could stand to his feet, more chains formed around him.
"Your harsh decision will make things only worse" Nubia replied him and looked around from one person to another everyone lost in thought.
"Why are you all acting like this isn't making you angry!!" He shouted and suddenly went boom.
"Flame of God!!" He shouted and melted the chains off like wax, and every other ones that began to form also melts off.
"No one should stop me" he said and suddenly shot into the sky.
"How did he get such power in two month?" Dara asked from where she sat
"It's something he calls the secondary power" Nubia replied "Everyone has one"

Red Riot Guild.
The door to the Red Riot Guild slowly came open, and Aanu walked in with his head low, he let out soft growl and made his fist went up in flames.
"You are celebrating, what are you celebrating ? Did you win the guild contest? No, did you accomplish any mission? No. Which leads me to my next question" He said and spat out lava to the ground.
The whole attention of the guild members were focused on him while he spoke.
"Who attacked our guild?" He asked and raised his head.
The look on his face was different. Aanu's face was already covered in scales, his iris took a different shape, like that of a serpent. Meanwhile where he stood was already melting off.
"We did, that is payback for making our master scold us, and making us feel like we are useless" a guild member replied and powered up.
"Where is your master? I have to teach him a lesson for raising losers" Aanu said and took a step forward, while maintaining his evil grin.
"We are enough to deal with you, master is not here to stop us"
"You killed a member of my family" Aanu said and stretched his right hand forward "who do I kill first?" He asked with a wicked grin and suddenly he disappeared.

Aanu's father suddenly got to his feet from the bed he laid on and began to pant heavily.
"He has awakened his Dragon Influence, at this rate, he is no longer himself." He said and rushed out.
"I pray I make it in time to calm him, or else he'll turn evil and no one can stop him" Aanu's father said while panting and shot out flames from his legs which sent him flying into the sky.

Arc 2
Chapter 8
All nine fighters stood facing a green glowing door that served as a portal to the world of demons, only accessible by those who had the demon magic in them.
"That's the second portal to the demon world, I heard it's only accessible by those with infinite demon magic" Tolu said and took a deep breathe.
"What do they plan on doing by summoning demons?" Ekun asked and made a frown on his face.
"I don't know the full details, but door two demons are evil, and they increase in strength based on the number of damage taken, Remi can only stand a chance against a Class W demon and lower down to Class Z" Tolu said and focused back on the game.
A loud drum of suspense suddenly filled the air, coming from nowhere in particular.
"Dear FIGHTERRRSSS!!" The commentator shouted and formed out of dust before the fighters.
"This is a second portal to the demon world, there are exactly 26 ranks of demons in this gate, and I think the strongest of you should be able to defeat Class V and lower, well hopefully" he said and made a long pause.
"The rule of the game is simple, very simple, Class A to K demons carries 10 points, Class L to U demons carries 5 points while class V to Z carries 3 points" he said and paused again, looked at them all and continued
"I don't expect anyone of you to defeat a class A to k or L to U demon, there are 30 Class V to Z demons which should he enough for you, and before I forget, the longer you go brawling with this demons the stronger they become and slowly they begin to gain rank...."
"Someone is trying to use this tournament to strengthen his demons" Tolu said and made a fist out of anger.
"Like I said, this tournament is likely to he sabotaged, nothing should surprise you" Ekun replied.
"I can feel his presence" Nubia thought within herself and and let out a bright smile only Ekun noticed.
"Nubia" Ekun called out to her with a questioning look on his face.
She looked at him and smiled, confirming his thoughts.
"Good" he said and walked out on them.
"Once I leave here, demons will begin to emerge from the doors.in their numbers, take out as much as you can, don't engage anyone if you can defeat them, although you won't be able to differentiate between a Class A demon and a Class Z, so good luck" the commentator said and disappeared into mid air.
"I Alu Thunder will bring as many as I can down" a member of the Thunder Guild shouted and brought out lightning from his mouth.
"Na pride go kill this one" a lady from the Goddess guild said and sighed.
A timer appeared in mid air, signifying they had an hour to round up the fight against the demons and next to the countdown was the ranking of all guilds and their points.
Aanu wiped sweat of his face, running as fast as his legs could carry him, as he got closer he heard the loud cheer that was coming from the arena, and just then something caught his attention.
He halted and took a turn to the left, entering into the alley. Taking cautious steps and going after his trail.
"They are taking advantage of the quietness to do what?" He thought within himself as he watched masked men moving boxes from a house to another building.
"Let's burst them"
He suddenly lost conciousness as something hard smashed against his head.
"You shouldn't have snuck up what didn't concerns you" the husky voice came at him.
Aanu slowly opened his eyes and noticed he was tightly strapped to the chair he was sitting on. He let out a soft groan and sneezed.
"You should have killed me when you had the chance " he said out to the person that walked into the room to check on him.
"Kill a member of the JujuMan Guild, sorry we can't take such risk, you're valuable when alive than dead, with you we can get a free pass when our operations are complete " the man said and smiled.

Thirty minutes gone already at the arena. The demons had already troooped out in their large numbers, and the fighters could barely continue. Almost all of them exhausted and almost out of breathe.
"We still haven't seen a representative from the JujuMan Guild" someone from the crowd said
"That guild are filled with cowards" another replied.
"There is barely twenty minutes left ".
A huge ball of flames suddenly covered the whole arena from above and with great speed it came down, on contact with the ground, it sent out shockwave that pulled everyone off their feet and sent all demons off balance.
The fire slowly died down revealing Aanu.
Loud cheers came from the every corner of the arena, a louder one from the JujuMan stand.
"Let's start this party here to, I hope master isn't breaking more than enough bone than he should" Aanu muttered and grinned wickedly.
"I don't want to know the rules of the game, if you're not strong, return back to that demon portal!!" Aanu shouted at the top of his voice.
A demon growled at him and instant began to charge at him, spreading out all six of it it arms, it grabbed Aanu with great speed and threw him off like he was made of paper.
"Stupidity is a common commodity in the JujuMan" a kid from the crowd said and slammed his left palm on his face .

"Flame" Ekun said and made his arms go up in flames using his word magic.
He went of rampage against his opponents, smashing them without restraining.
"You kidnapped a member of my guild !!" He shouted and grabbed someone by the neck and threw him like a sling shot.
"You run illegal business of selling fire arms!!" He shouted and rammed his feet against the stomach of another.
"Metal" he muttered and made his body become metal, which bouced off the bullets that was shot at him.
"I'll take out my anger, the one I'm supposed to take out on Remi, I'll take it out on you all!!" He shouted at the top of his voice
"Water" he muttered and suddenly the whole area was flooded, except where he stood.
"200 bolts of lightning" he muttered and let out a wicked grin .
***

Aanu stood up to his feet and strecthed out his body.
"Werey, we have less than 15 minutes and we are ranking bottom on the table" Remi shout out at him from where he stood
"How is that my problem, I heard you died on duty " Aanu shouted in reply.
"Flame of God" Aanu said and suddenly went up in flames.
The flames was so strong that everyone in the arena could feel the heat on their skin, and instantly it melted off the demon that was in front of him.
"What tremendous power, he instantly took out a Class O demon, things are definitely going to get interesting from here" The commentator shouted at the top.of his voice.
"The JujuMan is full of monsters" a representative from Red Riot said in awe, as he witnessed the tremendous power that Aanu gave off.
"Arrgghhhhhhhhh" Aanu screamed out loudly, generating more power.
The ground beneath him cracked, and slowly began to melt. Like lightning he took off. Getting closer to the first demon, he smashed his fist right into it's head, before his hands could reach for it's head, it completely melt off.
He growled and took off for the next one, making cracks on the ground for each step he took and melting them off seconds after taking the next step.
"He is going to kill of all my second gate monsters, call off the tournament" someone shouted from the officiating stand, where the members of the Magic Alter sat.
"We can't do that, he has to defeat as much as he can" the elderly man among them replied.
"He is killing them, he was supposed to just make them immobile, not kill them, no one told me a monster was being breed in JujuMan " the demon magic user shouted.
"I'm sorry Bash, there are no rules to the game".
Aanu leaped into the air and smashed his fist into the ground, raising huge stone into the air.
"Seeking bullet" he muttered, while his eyes was bringing out fire in form of liquid and dripping to the ground.
From all his finger tips came flames shaped like bullet, shooting out with great force.
"Bam, bam, bam, bam bam bam am" Aanu mimicked as the bullet came out and taking out demons with at least two shots.
Soon all demons were dead. He let out a loud laughter and stared at the portal that led to the demon world and began to approach it.
"No no no don't tell me it is what I'm thinking" Bash said with tears running down his face "It takes ten minutes to close this gate, he is going to kill all my demons, he took out 40 Class A demons with just one shot, someone should please call him off"
Aanu shot out blue flames underneath his legs, making him gain more speed as he approached the portal.
As he got closer to the gate, and was about going in, he suddenly fell to the ground and began to snore.
"Go carry him body off the arena, before he wakes up, my magic can't keep him seelping for long" Ekun said while sweat broke out from his face.
"He is almost on arcane level of power, no, he is already at my level of strength " Ekun thought within himself.
The whole arena went wild with cheer as Remi dragged Aanu out of the arena by the leg, pulling him body on the ground.
"And the JujuMan is a hundred and five points away from Red Riot who is taking the second spot, with this development the continuation of this game has been moved to tomorrow, we have to rethink and restructure the game. Thank you, let's meet tomorrow morning for the continuation " the commentator announced and made firework rock the sky.

Nubia nuked the last of her opponent down, by grabbing him by the nevk as soon as he stepped into the city and smashed her flaming fist into his stomach which sent him into the sky.
The whole arena went up in wild cheer as soon as the fight was over. The score board displayed in mid air, showing the ranking of various guilds, and JujuMan was third on the list.
Ekun raised his hand up to signal to the members to be quiet.
"It is too early to celebrate, there is no honor in most of the guilds and they will do anything to sabotage the game to their favour" Ekun said and paused, seeing he had their attention he continued "We can't let that happen, even though I don't know how to stop it either" he said and sighed.
"The next game, we don't know what it is, but we were told to bring in fighters first into the arena then it would be announced" Ayo said and sighed.
"Part of the sabotage we are talking about, we have to be vigilant and our eyes over head" Ekun said.
"Boss we are not crabs" Norris said and tried suppressing his laughter.
"Werey, laugh if you wan laugh" Bibi said and smashed him on the back, making Norris burst into laughter.
"Remi, you're going in next" Ekun said and walked out of the room.
The whole arena went up in loud cheer as the fighters from each guild began to step out into the open space. This time the city was gone, the arena was wider.
"Are youuuuuuu ready??" The commentator shouted and suddenly appeared before the fighters.
He grinned widely and snapped his fingers and suddenly huge stone pillars began to sprout out from the ground and continued to advance into the sky that the tip became invisible.
"That is your next game, there are exactly nine flags at the top, you have to leap from one pillar to another and gather the flags, and return through the supressing air at the top" the commentator said and grinned "You can also attack your opponent and get their flags, if you fall off you die".
"This is terrible" Ekun muttered with sweat all over his face.
"Boss this is terrible, we've successful secured a spot at the bottom" Bibi said shivering
"Why are all of you scared?" Ire asked confused.
"Remi has phobia for hieght" Ekun said with shaky voice.
Remi gulped hard and watched as all competitors smashed their palms together and were blown up by the elevating air and watched as they disappeared into the sky.
The crowd began to cheer louder, confused about why Remi the strongest guild members of JujuMan and arguably one of the strongest in ranking from various guilds.
"What is he doing? "
"You should be up there"
"Does he have a plan?"
Remind gulped as he slowly smashed his hands together. Suddenly a strong wind sent him up into the sky.
"Arrgghhhhhhhhh" Remi screamed out and lost conciousness while still in mid air.
He opened his eyes and saw he was still flying in mid air and fainted again.
***
***
Remi slowly opened his eyes, at first everything was blurry, he heard faint voices that slolwy began to get clearer. It was then he noticed what had happened to him.
He opened his eyes and saw the guild members gathered around him, while he was laid on a bed, a warm bowl of water next to him.
"He is awake"
"He shouldn't be, until we are back on the lead, we are back to square one because of him not getting over his phobia" Sade shouted at the top of her voice
"You should have just brainwashed him and controlled him" Justice added.
"That's cheating" Ekun replied "There is still hope, we have to get ready for the next fight"
"We don't know what it is, do we?" Sade asked.
"Whatever it is, we need a fighter" Ekun said.
"Then I should go next" Norris suggested and made a fist.
"No, not you, I need you to retain your strength for tomorrow"
"If Norris can't go, then I can't, Dami can opt in, we could rely on his speed"
"No" Ekun replied and close his eyes "Aanu is going in next"
An expression of shock ran through all of the guild members.
"We don't even know his whereabout and you have all hopes on him" Norris barked out.
"You should always trust your family" Ekun said
"listen carefully, the next fighters are already told to start making appearance" Norris replied him and gritted his teeth.
Members representing their guilds for the next round began to troop out one after the other, leaving out only the JujuMan representative.
"JujuMan where is your representative ?" The commentator shouted from where he stood.
"You can carry on, he will join you, he is still sleeping" Ekun replied and sighed.
"Thirty seconds, if he isn't here you automatically lose points ".
Ekun gritted his teeth and sniffed.
"What if he doesn't show up?" Dami asked calmly.

Chapter Six
The broadcast screen above the city did a full coverage of every match and team members in the city, some already encountering themselves.
“Will she be okay?” Remi who was standing next to Ekun asked with heavy breathing.
“I pray she wont be okay” Ekun replied and sniffed.
“Huhn, that’s odd”
“You will understand the reason I said that when the time comes” Ekun replied “For now, focus on the task at hand, watch every fight closely and analyze” Ekun said and turned to look at Ayo.
“Do a detailed analysis of every fight, get every data you can and accumulate them” Ekun said.
“On it already” Ayo replied with a smile on his face.
Nubia peeped out from the alley she hid herself into the open space, in a bid to make sure nothing caught her unaware or a surprise attack should come at her. She stepped out of hiding, as soon as she took a step forward she heard a loud crash come from behind her and quickly turned around to see what cause it, noticing it was fight, she quickly found a spot to hid herself.
A member of the King’s Guild going up against a member from Thunder Guild. This was a fight between two monsters, a guild known for having the strongest members and a guild known for going out in their full power when fighting.
“I don’t have an option, I cant go in between them, I will wait for them to brawl out and fight with who wins” she said and watched them closely.
The member from the King’s Guild grabbed his opponent by the face and smashed him into the ground, gathering all five points to himself for his first round.
Nubia came out of hiding and spread out her wings and then went up in flames.
“Argh, seems lady luck smiles on me today” her opponent said and stick out his tongue.
He suddenly appeared before Nubia and landed the first attack, smashing his hand right at her face. The wind pressure his attack gathered, spread out immediately his attack landed on her face, raising thick dust into the air which completely covered the whole environment.
As the dust died down, what was seen next took everyone by surprise. Nubia was standing and her opponent was knocked out to the ground.
“Argghhh, that blow hits differently, dude didn’t hold back at all” she said as she pulled her hard scales back in.
“I see what she did, she concentrated all her had scales on the part that was receiving the attack” Remi said and smiled brightly “Didn’t expect anything less”
Loud cheers followed next, with the chant of Juju Man on everyone’s lips.
“We are still behind, Heaven Chasers are leading with 25 points, followed closely by Dark Hunter, Seven Chariots and we are seventh on the board” Ekun said and sighed “Well, it is going according to plan”
Nubia moved to the second round of her fight, she still had enough juice in her to last. This time her plans had changed, she was going head on. Looking for opponents and plan on taking them down as soon as possible.
She made her way to the entrance of the city, hoping the immediately make contact with the new fighters that would be coming in replacement of the ones that were down. She spread out her wings and took to flight.
As expected her plans worked out, she stretched out her wings, and took a deep breath and suddenly with one huge flap of the wings, she burst through the clouds, diving down towards the entrance and going straight for the unsuspecting opponent that was just coming into the arena.
She let out a loud scream as she got closer, made a fist of fire and before her opponent could make sense of what was happening, she rammed her fist into his face.
The power of the punch she sent instantly broke the jaw of her opponent, the force it generated pulled him back towards the entrance and instantly sent him unconscious.
The whole audience took a deep breath and a gasp that lasted for about six seconds.
Edun Ara the Master of Thunder Guild stood to his feet from his stand and looked towards the Juju Man Guild stand. Anger written all over his face.
“Huhnn, boss, someone is saying hi to you from the other end” Remi said “You should wave back at him”
“Smooth move, we should break more jaws” Ekun shouted at the top of his voice. “Plus this is taking a very interesting turn”
“THHAAT WAS MASSIVE” the commentator shouted at the top of his voice, which followed by loud cheer from the spectators “The Jujuman showing us what they are made of, is this a comeback, is this what they are truly made of? After all these years of dejection, are we ready to see the new Juju Guild?” the commentator said shouting at the top of his voice.
“And now she is waiting for them all at the entrance and taking them out, I didn’t see that coming, all methods of winning are welcome, I said earlier, THERE ARE NO RULES”

The entire Jujuman Guild members walked into the tournament ground to present themselves, which followed by loud cheers of approval, placard risen up from different part of the audience stand to encourage them.
The noise slowly died down.
“We shall now here from the Guild Master” the anchor announced.
Ekun squinted his eyes and looked around, and raised his head to look at the mass number of supporters that were seated.
“We promise to shove all of your heads into you ****” Ekun shouted at the top of his voice.
“EWWWWWW!!!” the whole spectators replied disgusted by his words.
“Boss, is that something you should be saying?” Ire asked.
“You are a new member of our family, you should watch, this is our way of motivation” Ekun replied and scoffed.
“And we promise to kick the arse of all fighters, including the ones hiding in the shadows” Trigger shouted at the top of his voice and sent halogen missiles into the air.
The crowd let out a loud cheer, and wild rage of supportive chants.
Ekun turned around and looked at the spot where the members of the Magic Alter were seated and stared deep into the eyes of the eldest man among them.
“I know about it” he said, making certain his lips could be read from the distance.
The man frowned at Ekun and stared back at him.

Aanu got to the shores of the ocean and sighed out in relief. He looked around and confirmed he had been gone for long. He dipped his right hand into the pocket of his short and brought out a shiny green pebble and swallowed it.
“Looks hard, but it dissolves immediately” he muttered and let out a sneeze. “Kicking in already, is this what a secondary power means, I can feel more power surging in me, more like my magic container got enlarged” he said with a bright smile and shot out flames from his hands.
Compressing enough beneath his legs, he suddenly burst into the sky.
***

The mapping for the Magic Tournament was displayed in mid air, and five magic screens displayed in the air, which was controlled by a broadcast magic user to display every activity going on in the various fight scenes.
THE TOURNAMENT MAPPING
Goddess Guild vs Red Riot vs Dark Hunter Guild
Seven Chariot Guild vs Heaven Chaser Guild vs Action Dogs
Juju Man Guild vs Thunder Guild vs King Guild
A game that consist of three rounds, where fighters can be substituted in each round. This was the decision for the opening game, what comes next was known only by the organizers of the tournament.
“Nubia!” Ekun called out with a cold voice.
“Boss” Nubia replied
“You are taking the entire fight for the opening game, all three sets” Ekun said and paused for a while before continuing “Every team will be fighting simultaneously and we definitely don’t want to sell ourselves out, so it’s best one person goes out, while the other analyze the match from here and since we don’t know what the other round will look like, I don’t want us putting all our eggs in one basket” Ekun said looked at her and then at the other members.
“Do you understand?” Ekun asked.
“Yes boss, but oga, isnt our egg supposed to be made of iron, like I mean iron egg, we fit put them for one basket and put stone on top” Dami said with a silly look on his face.
“So tell me Dami, how do you like your death?” Ekun asked with pure aura of evil flowing around him.
“All fighters for the opening match should get ready, the tags will be displayed soon, get readyyyy!!!!”
The arena where the fight would be taking place suddenly began to shake vigorously and slowly a complete city began to emerge from the ground.
“Who has such magic power to summon out a complete city from the ground?”Ekun thought within himself, confirming his suspicion.
The city fully emerged from the ground, laying in its glory.
“This city summoned out will be your sparing ground, find your opponent and take them out, you will be going through the same entrance, but you will end up in a different location, automatically with your opponents, but in different areas of the location, find your opponent and overpower them, all methods are allowed, no rules to the game” the voice of the announcer came from nowhere in particular.
“The grading points are simple, when you encounter an enemy, you have one minute to take yourselves out, a complete take down gives you 5 points, person with the most hit gets 3 points, in which you automatically move to the next round. If you are willing to go on without changing fighters after the first round, you are permitted to”
“Method of changing fighters are simple, you just imaging swapping with a member after a round and it happens, its as simple as that. AND LET THE GAME BEGIN, all fighters should step forward towards the entrance”
All three representatives from each guild began to walk towards the entrance of the city and as soon as they stepped in, the disappeared.
“Wait WHHHAATTTT!!!” the commentator shouted at the top of his voice.
“The Juju Man Guild is sending just on fighter into the arena, it’s the confidence for me ooooo” he shouted again and everyone watched as Nubia spread out her wings and walked into the city. A fight of one against six.

Aanu stretched his body and let out a loud yawn, slowly opening his eyes to look around at his environment and stood up to his feet.
“Took you a while to get up”
“What is your name? so I can address you properly” Aanu asked.
“King” the creature replied and smiled.
“So where is our next stop, I have training to return back to” Aanu said and flexed his arms.
“About that, you’ve used almost a month here, in the next three hours it should be a month, time runs differently down here” King said and sniffed.
“EEERRRRERERERERERE!!!” Aanu screamed at the top of his voice “You didn’t tell me that, why, I have a tournament to be in” Aanu added, his neck veins all popped out.
“I cant waste any more time, how do I get back?”
***

Arriving back at the guild, Ekun squinted his eyes as he watched everyone move about and getting prepared for the first round the following day.
“Boss, we haven’t heard from Aanu, last he was seen was going into the ocean and didn’t return, its been a month now” Remi said calmly “I should go back and look for him”
“You need to have faith in him, a son of a third generation dragon can’t be defeated lightly, we will carry on, no one is taking his spot” Ekun replied and stared at Remi “Nubia should be the one who is worried” Ekun said and stood to his feet.
“Calm down, he is alright, have faith in your family”

King led the way into the main city, Aanu tagging behind. The city, filled with various creatures with the standing structure of a human. Aanu paid less attention to them, barely noticing the way they stared at him and the outcast that returned to the village in broad day light.
“Show me this King, I have to break his head and return back to where I have to be, and if I find out I am being played by you, I will have your head” Aanu muttered and bit his lower lips.
“I wouldn’t bet on doing something as stupid as playing you” King replied.
Heavy running of foot soldiers, suddenly came from every angle, completely surrounding both King and Aanu while the onlookers had to find a place for safety.
“I have brought my champion to challenge my uncle and reclaim back what is rightfully mine” King shouted at the top of his voice.
“Hey, are you using me to bet?” Aanu asked “What do I get in return?”
“Anything, just play along, this is a straight out challenge no one can ever refuse” King replied
“So do you have a sister? I want to see what happens when a human shsushsshhuusus one of your species” Aanu said with a silly look on his face.
King turned around, brimming with anger, he grabbed Aanu by the neck and growled at him
“Say that again”
“You wish to defile me” a loud voice came before them.
Turning to look at who spoke, King saw the uncle he detest so much, riding in his dragon chariot.
“I have defiled you, you cant decline my challenge”
“Make una talk fast, I have less than an hour” Aanu said and took a deep breath.
“Challenge accepted” King’s uncle said
“Good” Aanu replied and suddenly went up in flames
“Arrghgh, so its you, thanks to you I know have powers that are beyond imagination” the King replied and went up to in flames, which got everyone by surprise.
“I noticed the change in structure of out gate and discovered the enormous leak of magic coming from who was giving if off in the ocean and I couldn’t resist getting those leaks and making them mine” the King said and smiled with wicked intent.
“So you think a leak can be compared to the original?” Aanu asked and cracked his neck bones.
“There is only one way to find out”
Aanu slammed his hands together and stretched his left leg backward, compressing flames under his feet.
“Juju Fire” he muttered and suddenly burst forward.
Moving faster than his flames could keep up with, in less than a second Aanu was already before King, faster than the human eyes could follow. No one saw him move, since the flames that engulfed his body was left behind.
A loud smash came at the face of the King, sending him off his dragon chariot, and deep into the ground. Before everyone could get a grasp of what was happening, Aanu was already back at his previous spot, no one saw him leave or come back.
All they saw was the King was rammed into the ground unconscious.
“I have no time to waste the magic competition has already started” Aanu said and turned to face King “Did I do a fine job?”
“Astonishing, before I send you back, there is something I must give you” King said and led the way into the palace.

Chapter 3
Standing at the bottom of the ocean, Aanu summoned out flames from his body and tried expanding it to wider areas in an attempt to dry the ocean.
“How the hell is this even possible?” he thought within himself and swam to the surface.
“Bibi, I am tapping out” Aanu shouted at the top of his voice as he walked out of the water.
“Yeah me too, I am exhausted” Bibi replied and dispersed the thick dark clouds that were hovering above the ocean.
Distance away from the was Remi, who was compressing air in his palms and screaming at the top of his voice as he sent the compressed air into the sky, in an attempt to clear the clouds that were far away.
“I feel for him” that is like a thirty minutes flight from here” Bibi said watching as Remi continued relentless.
“Tch, he doesn’t seem like he is going to stop anytime soon” Aanu muttered and turned back, walking into the ocean.
“I thought you were done for today?”
“Nope, I still have enough energy to go for some few hours, I can’t let the person get better than me” Aanu said with a smug on his face and dived into the ocean.
Aanu made flame boosters on his legs, making him go faster and to the deeper part of the ocean. Keeping up the flames and regenerating it before it goes off, Aanu had a smirk on his face as he began to approach the darker parts of the ocean.
“I am not getting back until I dry this up” he thought within himself “I have a lung capacity of three hours, it should be enough”.
Something suddenly smashed against his body in the deep waters, knocking him off course. Looking around, he noticed he was alone, just then something below him in the waters caught his attention.
It was a dim light. He dived down towards the direction of the dim light and was knocked off balance again.
“I see” he said and moved his hands backwards “Let’s see if you can catch up with my speed”
Aanu shot out blue flames from his hands and legs, giving him a much more boost to move faster. As soon as he approached the dim light, he suddenly lost consciousness.
***
***
Aanu slowly opened his eyes and noticed he was on dry land. He looked up at the sky and saw it was plain with no sign of clouds or sun, yet the environment was bright and well illuminated. He rolled over and stood on his feet.
“Humans are not supposed to know about this place” a voice said behind him.
Aanu slowly turned around and saw a creature standing before him. More like human but with attributes of sea creatures.
“What are you supposed to be, a half human or a half see horse?” Aanu asked and moved closer to the creature.
“And you are not supposed to understand what I say” the creature replied him.
“Whatever, what the hell is this place?”
“This is the sea world” the creature replied him.
“How do I get back?”
“Only the King can send you back”
“Good, take me to him” Aanu said and grabbed the creature by the hand.
“That is impossible”
“Why?”
“Because I have been dethroned by my father’s brother who wants the throne to himself”
A loud screech suddenly filled the air, and followed by another, which took a longer time to disperse.
“What is that?”
“Come on, we have to find a place to hid, those are souls of lost demons, hunting preys, they sense us already” the creature replied.
“I see, I feel hungry than usual, are their meat saucy and healthy?”
***
***
Aanu slurped as he threw the huge bone with him to the ground and gulped hard, with his stomach filled to the brim, he looked up at the sky which was already getting dark.
“You took out that monster with one blow”
“Huhn, is it odd?” Aanu asked.
“Yes, I mean no one has ever done that, which means you can help me get back my throne and I can send you to your world, the fact that you could come in here means, my uncle has destabilized the gateway” the man like sea creature said to him with excitement.
“Rest, I still have lot of this meat to deal with overnight, I just ate only the arm and I am filled already, my family should have a taste of this delicacy” Aanu said and yawned.
“You don’t understand, you cant stay here for long, a day here is a month on your world” the boy said calmly and raised his head to look at Aanu and saw he was already fast asleep.
“I hope you don’t have anything important to do where you come from”

Ekun stared at Aanu for a long while and spanked him on the head. All guild members stood according to their initial group, while Ekun stood in front of them.
“What was that for?” Aanu asked while scratching his head.
“I felt like doing it” Ekun replied and suddenly the atmosphere in the air changed.
Everyone knew it was their master being serious.
“The magic game allows only five fighters from each guilds and I will be announcing the names of those members now” Ekun said while pacing in front of them.
“This decision is final, and I have thought about it critically, and I want you all to cooperate with me and support as guild members, as families” Ekun added and took a deep breath.
“Norris, you are first on the list” Ekun said and took another deep breath “Bibi, you are next, Nubia, Remi and Aanu” he said and signaled them to come out
“And next are three emergency members that fill in the space incase if anything happens to the main fighters” Ekun said and stared at the kids.
“Victoria, Dami and Ayo”
“Ayoooooo?” Imole the Contract Magic user asked awkwardly “He isnt even suit for battle”
“But he is good at battle analysis, the rule of the game states that members who don’t fight has no business interfering, either by analysis from the crowd, such is disregarded and Ayo is the most intelligent person in this guild, so it’s the best option” Ekun replied Imole.
“Tch” Imole muttered and frowned his face.
“You all should stick to the training drill I gave you all, I will personally supervise the training of these eight myself” Ekun said and dispersed them.
“The rest of you, your training begins in earnest” Ekun said and watched the anticipating look they gave him.
“Remi, you have until tomorrow, to displace the cloud above the sky, with a single attack, until you do that, the thick cloud I made from my magic word will remain above the sky” Ekun said and next were thick clouds gathering in the sky.
“Eerrrreerr, how do you expect me to launch an attack from here, the distance alone” Remi shouted at the top of his voice.
“Figure that out yourself” Ekun replied and turned to face Nubia.
“You lack stamina, and I will have you build that up, go up and down the hills until noon tomorrow” Ekun ordered.
“Boss, you joke a lot, that is like a suicide mission” Nubia replied him with a smirk on her face.
“Do you want me to change my mind?” He asked coldly and stared deep at her.
“Huhnn” Nubia replied and walked off to begin in earnest
“Aanu, get into the waters and dry every single bit up with your flames”
“Arrgghgghghgh, that isnt just any water, I don’t know if your eyes can see well, that is an ocean, AN OCEAN, who on earth has the ability to dry an entire ocean?” Aanu shouted at the top of his voice.
“Your father, he would be ashamed of you right now, being the founder of this guild, you who is his son should do better” Ekun replied
“Wait, what? Aanu’s father founded this guild” Remi cut in in surprise as well as the others.
“Tch, you didn’t have to include that part you know” Aanu said and walked towards the ocean.
“Bibi, make it continue to rain at the ocean, your training is attached to Aanu, if he successfully dries up the ocean while your rain continues to pour down then you both move to the next one” Ekun said.
Without uttering a word, Bibi sluggishly tagged behind Aanu.
“Norris, I want you will be sparing with me, Victoria mimic various magic and try to increase your time limit by ten percent, Dami, keep running until your legs wear off and Ayo, I want you to personally supervise everyone’s progress” Ekun concluded and smashed his hands together.
“No one should slack off, I might just take you off the fight and find a replacement”

TWO MONTH TRAINING CAMP
Honor watched all members going about and doing their thing in the camp where they would be staying for two. He smirked and squatted on the branch.
“Hey, Honor what are you doing up there?” Nicolas asked after sighting him.
“How did you get to see me, its night already” Honor replied.
“I use animal magic, so why should you be surprise and something tells me you are up to no good”
Honor purred and hissed. He signaled to Nicolas to join him on the tree.
“I want to scare the girls” Honor replied and opened the bag with him “This is for my face paint” he said and brought out small calabash from the bag.
“So you were planning on having this fun alone, let me join in, this seems like the perfect place to use my transformation magic” he said and smiled mischievously.
Remi stood next to Ekun on the shores of the beach, which was distance away from the main camp.
“Is there something about Aanu that you are not telling any one of us?” Remi asked and looked at Ekun who was calm all these while.
“Hmmm” Ekun muttered and looked at Remi.
“When we fought in Sassosori, he took another form completely, an intimidating magic power, one that I have never felt before and a horn came out of his head” Remi said.
“Tch, doesn’t look like this can be kept for long” Ekun said and looked at the moon “His father was the first founder of this guild, Aanu is a…” before he could complete his statement, they both heard a loud scream come from the direction of the camp and ran off.
Teju fell to the ground breathing heavily as the weird creature came at her, the face of a lion, wings of an eagle on its back and body of a snake. The height and its look were all intimidating. Teju stood up and began to run as fast as her legs could carry her.
Losing a foot, she fell hard to the ground and rolled over few times and collapsed, already exhausted. She raised her head to see the creature but was shocked noticing nothing was behind her again.
Remi and Ekun ran up to her and pulled her to her feet.
“What was wrong?” Ekun asked and at the same time scouting the surrounding.
“A weird creature, a face of a lion, wings and snake like body” Teju replied panting hard.
While they were still attending to Teju, another scream was heard.
“Help her to the camp, this place should be the safest place” Ekun said in annoyance and disappeared.
Ore went dumb on seeing the creature that growled at her, and next was a smirk that took over her face. She smashed her hands together and made her kill robots appear before her, and next she raised her hands in the air.
“Thunder catcher” she said and instantly iron rods began to drop from the sky and surrounded the creature that growled and tried to intimidate her.
“Charging bolt, 3 million vo……” before she could complete her statement the creature suddenly disappeared into thine air.
Honor wiped the sweat on his face and let out a sigh of relief. He look at Nicolas who was already flat on the ground panting heavily.
“I told you we shouldn’t go after her or Nubia, those girls are something else, she almost killed us” Nicolas said
“Tch, it is annoying”
“You both care to explain what you have been up to?” a stern cold voice said behind them.
“Maaassstteeeerrrr!” the both chorused and took to their heels.

Ire slowly opened her eyes and strained as she looked around the room she was in, except for the table near the bed, it was empty. Unsure about what was happening.
She managed to get off the bed and whimpered as she felt a sharp pain run through her head, she got to the door and opened it, then proceed forward going out. From afar, at the end of the hallway she could hear shouts and screams.
She began to walk as fast as her legs could carry her, the noises she heard were what seems to be that of conflict and at the same time she could sense dangerous magic powers all over. Reaching the end of the hallway, she gasped at the scene before her.
She looked around with her mouth wide again, moving her eyes from one part to another until she saw the Jujuman Guild Logo. The entire member was engaged in a tough fight, everyone randomly fighting each other.
Trigger shouted at the top of his voice and made huge barrels out of his palms, stretching it forward. He grinned wicked and opened fire on everyone.
“Why do you have to go overboard?!!!!!” Henry shouted and dived to take cover and so did others.
Ire also took to her heels and ran back into the hallway. A loud explosion followed next, sending shockwave all over that sent Ire off balance.
The noise soon died down and Ire raised her head, fear written all over her face. She picked herself up and went back towards the hallway exit, that lead into the guild hall.
Aanu screamed at the top of his voice, and dashed towards Trigger, his body engulfed in flames.
“Do you want me to die before my time?” he shouted at Trigger and landed a punch on his face which sent him off and crashed against the wall.
“Yeaaahhhhh, let’s go for round seven” Sade the Brain wash magic user shouted and jammed her hands together.
“Everyone close your eyes, I don’t want her to brainwash me and then I start walking naked again” Remi shouted and quickly found a place to hid himself.
Ire sighed and continued walking towards the hall where the rumbling was going on. As soon as she walked close to Wura. Wura let out a loud shout.
“She is awake” Wura, the Guild’s youngest shouted drawing everyone’s attention.

“You came back for me” Ire said in shame, remembering what she had done to Aanu at the train station.
“You don’t have to think about that, friends never let friends be without friends” Aanu said rubbing his hair, while trying to figure out what he said.
“What did you just say, are you trying to play on words because you are bad at it” Remi said and stared at Aanu.
“Yeah, I agree with him” Nubia added.
“What you said was perfect and befitting for a king” Iyanu said and curled herself up on Aanu.
Nubia grabbed Iyanu by the arms, and forced her off Aanu and gritted her teeth at her.
“I have warned you not to get so close to him again, do you want to die?” Nubia asked in annoyance and made smoke come out from her nostrils.
Seeing this scene, Remi flashed back to what Aanu had transformed into while they were fighting at the war front and stood up.
“I have things to take care of in the city” Remi said and walked out on them “Master should be around soon, we will go talk to him to see if she can join our guild, I am sure he is destroying the Magic Alter Hall with overload of happiness, we will have the chance to prove that our guild is the strongest in the upcoming Power Guild Ceremony in two-month time” Remi said and smiled at them before finally walking out of the guild hall.
Dami tied his white towel around his waist, as soon as he paid to use the hot bath in town. He smiled with evil intent and began to walk towards the bath for men.
“Have a nice time sir, and since you are Jujuman Guild member, I trust you know how to have fun, but try not to destroy any of our properties” the receptionist said to him.
“You don’t have to worry, I am only here for sightseeing” Dami replied walked off.
He got himself into the tub and fortunately he was the only one around, he knew how to make a perfect timing of when he would be the only one using the bath tub. He smiled as he heard ladies screams coming from the other side of the pool.
Separated only by a large wood structure which was no problem for him. Dami smiled and began to move very fast in one position
DAMI’S POWER: BLINK MAGIC (Superspeed, the speed of the blink of an eye and Teleportation)
Splitting himself into two, one was the original, while the other one as a result of his speed mirage. He dived into the pool and swam towards the barricade, and phased through.
“This is heaven” Dami thought within himself at the view before him.
While he was still on his mission, he saw someone swimming towards him and saw it was Tolu the Demon magic user. Realizing he was in trouble, he blinked his eyes and disappeared.
“I will surely still have to blind those eyes of yours” Tolu thought and grinned.
Tolu dropped from the sky and rammed through the roof of the Magic Alter, he landed on his hard on the ground and let out a loud cry. He looked around and saw various curious eyes staring at him.
Teenagers like himself all dressed in the superior magic robe, only attainable by the best of magicians in the city.
“What is happening here” A voice asked.
“He suddenly came crashing from the roof top” another replied
“Cease him, we were supposed to be kept a secret from the world, cease him” the voice shouted again.
Unsure about what was going on, Dami knew he had to escape, immediately he blinked his eyes and disappeared.
He appeared in mid air in the guild and crashed on the table before Ekun.
“There you are!” Tolu shouted and summoned out her demons
Before Dami could blink again to teleport, two huge demons held him down
“You cant disappear when you are held down” She said as she began to ran at him.
“But I can still superspeed, but it is not necessary, I saw something really odd and I thought I should let every one know about it” Dami said.
This was the very first time there was seriousness in his tone. Noticing this, Tolu halted and withdrew her demons and Ekun stood to his feet and walked closer to Dami, and soon the whole guild was gathered together.
“What did you see?” Ekun asked.
“First, Tolu has some set of hot grapes” he said and licked his lips.
A hard knock came at his head, that instantly brought him back to reality.
“What did you see?” Ekun asked again, this time with an evil aura flowing out of him.
“I saw kids of our age, dressed in the Superior Magic Robe, meant for high level magicians and retired guild masters” Dami said and gulped.
“Really”
“Yes”
“So the rumors are true, the Junior Council of Wizards truly exist” Ekun said and smirked
“Is that a threat?” Remi asked calmly.
“Yes, but although I am not sure, but if the Council has something like that, then they are into some odd things and they don’t want the world to know about it, we have investigate them secretly and know what to do, I fell somehow this is connected to the underground lab you busted that brought us to limelight” Ekun said and paused for a while before speaking again “I have been making investigation on my own and with this, I cant help but feel that way”
“What do we do now?” Dara the witch asked.
“We are taking a two month holiday meant for training and preparation for the End of the Year Power Guild Ceremony, if we win the competition then we can ask for a challenge and call them out for the whole world to see”
Dami raised his hand slowly signaling he wants to ask a question.
“Will there be hot tub where we go for the training, I need to sightsee” He asked lowly.
“Yes, a hot tub filled with your blood” Ekun replied

Chapter 26
“This is the first time I will be getting serious” Remi said and next was his white eyes glowing brightly, bringing out the true strength hidden in him.
He looked to the right at Aanu and noticed some odd changes in him, but decided to keep mute about it. Right on Aanu’s forehead was a little dragon horn on it. The flames around his body completely turned not to be red but green.
“What are you?” Remi muttered while they continued running towards the battle ground.
“Remi” Aanu called out with a stern look, still focused on the mission at hand.
“I sense her magic power, she is held hostage by those on the right” he said and tilted his head to look at Remi. “Why is your eyes all white, I know your eyes are completely white, but its brighter and looks like crystal”
“I am using 50 percent of my power” Remi answered “I could ask the same thing about you, your energy is off chart” Remi said within himself.
“Ohh, so there is something like that, and I don’t know about it” Aanu said and stick out his tongue at Remi “Show off”
Remi leaped into the air and smashed his hands together, screaming at the top of his voice, on making contact with the ground, he smashed his hands into it. On impact, the ground cracked and sent shock wave all over, sending both sides of the warriors off balance in an instance.
Taking advantage of the dust that raised into the air, they both began to run rampage on both sides.
Within the dust all that could be seen was white flashing light from Remi’s hands and green flames from Aanu, followed by noise of war.
The dust slowly died down, revealing all soldiers already defeated and Team Fury’s duo standing next to each other in their power mode.
Inoki the Clan Leader of the Inoki Tribe walked forward and also Crimson Lion walked forward.
“Who are you?” Inoki asked and pointed his sword forward at Remi and Aanu, who were still in their power mode.
“You have something that belongs to us and we are here for that” Aanu replied and pointed at the cage on the far side behind Inoki.
“The girl, after defeating that bastard on the other side, I am planning on coming after Jemba, with my secret weapon and bring it down to it’s knees” Inoki said with a vicious look on his face.
“What did you say?” Remi asked and growled softly
“I will overthrow….” Before he could finish his statement. Both Remi and Aanu suddenly appeared before him and gave him an uppercut that sent him into the sky.
“Omo ale” Aanu said and grinned as he turned towards the other side of the war.
“Two of you took out an entire army of more than 50 thousand soldiers on both sides in one attack” Crimson Lion said and began to walk closer to the.
“It doesn’t concern us” Aanu replied and cracked his knuckles.
“Calm down, I myself is no man that cherish war” Crimson Lion said and dropped his axe to the ground. “This war has been going on for years and more lives has been lost, the other person thinks like the monkey he is, doesn’t reason” Crimson Lion said and sat on the ground.
“Sit with me” He added and smiled at them.
Aanu looked at the cage where unconscious Ire was kept.
“Seeking bullet” he muttered and made flames like bullet shot out from his right middle finger.
He watched as the bullet smashed the cage into pieces and increased in size, wrapping itself around Ire, elevated her in the air and brought her to him.
“What do you want to talk about?” Remi asked and sat down.
Returning to his normal state, Aanu exhaled deeply already feeling exhausted, he sat down gently and laid her head on his leg.
“Did you met anybody when you were coming into the village?” Crimson Lion asked
“Yes, an old lady, she told us about the war and the cause” Remi replied.
“She lied” Crimson Lion replied and sighed “She is known as the Temper, although that isnt her true form, like every other evil minded person, she is bent on world domination” Crimson Lion said and sniffed
“We still don’t understand you” Aanu said.
“She took the form of Inoki and killed my only child, took my form and disposed of Inoki’s wife, which turned out to be war, I figured this out and tried reasoning with the monkey, but he was hell bent on revenge, to expand the war, she had that played her game and made that lady captured, so when she dies, it is possible to increase the scale of war” Crimson Lion said.
“Hmm, like assuming she was dead, I would go overboard and kill all of you, or if I get killed, words get out to the village, our guild retaliates and it continues that way” Remi replied.
“Exactly” Crimson Lion replied.
“But what was it Inoki was saying about world domination?” Aanu asked.
“Like I said, he is a monkey that fails to reason” Crimson Lion replied.
“What are you planning on doing from now” Remi asked Crimson Lion and stared deep at him.
“Inoki should be out of the trance he was placed in with that massive attack you landed on him, after this is settled, I am going after Temper and I will have her head” Crimson Lion replied and stood up. “I hope to see you both soon”
“Hopefully” Remi replied while he and Aanu stood up.
“Alright, we have what we came for, and we are going out of here” Aanu said.
Crimson Lion gave a warm genuine smiled and slowly his countenance changed
“What’s wrong?” Remi asked.
“I wished my son would have grown into a fine man like you both” Crimson Lion said and smiled “I will send words to the Magic Alter of Jemba and tell them about your great deeds” Crimson Lion said and turned around to look at his soldiers.
“Attend to the wounded!” he shouted at the top of his voice and walked off.

Chapter 25
Getting to Sussosori’s borders, Team Fury could see various blast coming from the distance, and hear the loud feedback those blast gave off. The tremors it sent off reached to where they stood. The sky covered in dark clouds and some patch of red in them.
“This is a war zone and we never get to hear of it” Remi said with his mouth wide agape.
“It’s a good thing we asked Iyanu to stay behind” Aanu said with an angry expression on his face and made thick smokes come out of his nostrils.
With Aanu leading the team, they jumped over the woods that was used as a border demarcation, and continued running as fast as their legs could carry them. Easily dodging the stray blast that came at them. On getting into the main village, they all ran into a building to take shelter and plan their next move.
“To think that this village isnt taken as a priority” Nubia said and peeped out from the tiny hole on the wall.
“It isnt called the Silent Village for just any reason, now we know why” Remi said “I think the Magic Alter, sent the ladies guild, thinking it was a job for them” Aanu replied.
“Not at all, it was a scouting mission” a fragile voice replied them from the dark corner of the room.
Aanu lit up his arms to illuminate the room and slowly from the far right corner an aged woman began to approach them.
“Who are you?” Remi asked calmly.
“I am one of this village elder” the woman replied revealing a set of loosed tooth in her mouth.
“I saw them come into the village, Sussosori is a village clouded in mystery, our affairs are made private, we have our own rule and we never got in touch with the outside world, those girls were sent by the tops of your city to scout and return intel” the woman said and walked towards the left.
“I’m sorry, but do you happen to see a girl among them?” Aanu asked
“Heeeeyyye, they are all girls na, what kind of question do you ask?” Nubia replied Aanu and grunted.
“I know who you ask for, it is surprising another member came for her, when her initial comrades left her to die, because of her act of kindness” the woman replied and pulled out a stool from the dark corners and sat on it.
“She is my friend and I don’t leave my friends during hard moments” Aanu replied and made the fire around his arms glow brighter.
The woman sighed and stared at Aanu for a while before speaking.
“If she is lucky, she should still be alive, held captive by Inoki” the woman said “Go where the battle is most intense and you will know what next to do” The woman said and pointed at the exit.
“What is the cause of the war?” Remi asked.
“Two main tribes have the monopoly of power in this village, the Inoki, Clan of the Gorillas and Crimson Lion, a child of the Crimson Lion was murdered by the Inoki and that escalated into the war we now see, it has been on for two years now, but it is hard not to belief that there are other motives behind this war, and it is hiding behind the death of the child” the woman replied and sighed “That is enough for one day, I hope I met you on the other side” she said and disappeared.
“Other side my foot” Aanu replied “You should die alone and don’t think of dragging other people along” he added as they dashed out of the building.
Getting closer to the part where the blasting noise came from the most, they began to see clearly what was before them. Far from the village was the battle ground, where both sides of the clan were engage in a furious duo. Using various magic powers and killing each other like life meant nothing.
“What do we do, we cant just talking to them” Nubia said
“It’s simple, we will beat up both sides” Aanu replied with gritted teeth.
“I love that plan” Remi replied and slammed his fist together. “Hopefully she is still alive”
“And if she isnt, I will kill every single one of them, return back to the city and kill every single one the girls in that girl’s scout guild” Aanu replied and made his entire body go up in flames.

Chapter 24
Samson increased in height by some inches, growling like the demon he had turned into, he made a fist swayed his left hand in the air. The air that dispersed from his hand send strong air waves around, slightly moving Remi and Aanu backward.
“This is one monstrous power” Aanu muttered and wiped the sweat that broke out on his face.
“This is the real incarnation you don’t want to offend” Olu said weakly from where he laid barely conscious.
“You mean that is the spirit of Samson from the white man’s book?” Aanu asked with his eyes wide open.
“If you’ve read that book, then you should know how powerful he is now, he is unbeatable” Olu replied and chuckled.
“Really, but e get as dey take beat am naw” Aanu said with a devilish look on his face.
“If you have any idea, now is the right time to implement it!” Remi shouted at the top of his voice, realizing the huge margin of power between him and Samson.
“Well I have a good one, but I want him to beat you because of how much you’ve bullied me” Aanu shouted in reply.
“Oya sorry” Remi shouted back, as he watched Samson breath in and out heavily.
Aanu smiled and jammed his hands together
“Dancing flame technique, Delilah” He said and slammed both hands into the ground “It’s a good thing I learnt sexy techniques combined with impersonation magic” he said within him.
Aanu transformed into a tall and well shaped lady, dressed in light robes that barely covered the sensitive part of the body.
“Hello Samson” the lady said and gave angry Samson a seductive look and winked.
“Delilah is that you?” Samson said lowly and rapidly began to regain his consciousness.
“Fool, how is such trick enough to calm you?” Olu shouted from where he laid, but it didn’t seem to work.
From behind, Remi gathered all strength he could and smacked Samson on the back of his neck, which immediately made him fall to the ground unconscious.
“Phew, that was close” Remi said and breathe out in relief. “And I thought you were the one with the cleanest mind in the Jujuman Guild, how come you know about impersonation magic?”
“If anyone hear of this, I will have your head, we are done here”
“Get in touch with Nubia, we need to know what is happening in the village” Remi said and picked Samson’s unconscious body up.
“Since this is the source of the problem, everything should be back to normal, I don’t see the babies souls anywhere” Aanu said and walked closer to Olu and smacked him on the face “We get our reward, and deliver this body to the Magic Alter, they should know what to do with them” Aanu added.

As soon as Team Fury walked out of the main compound of the Magic Alter, they met with the Goddess Guild member, the particular team Ire was on.
At first he decided on ignoring them, but he noticed their mood and knew something was off.
“Where is Ire?” Aanu asked and intercepted them.
“We lost her on the mission” the team leader replied coldly.
Aanu raised his head up in shock, not wanting to believe what he heard.
“I ask where she is” Aanu said again, this time with a stern voice that showed the anger within him.
“We went after a group of outlaws, we didn’t know what happen to her, we all had to flee for our lives, they were too powerful for us to handle, it is safe to assume she is dead” the leader replied.
“You left a comrade in battle, not certain if she is dead or alive, and you came back here” Aanu said with gritted teeth.
“Where did your mission take place?” Aanu asked.
“Sussosori, the silent village” the leader replied and walked out on Aanu with the rest of the members.
“Are you planning on standing there, or we should get going, we have a friend to safe” Remi said and smiled brightly at him.
