Arc 2
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.

Arc 2
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.

Arc 2
Chapter Seven
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.

Arc 2
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”

Arc 2
Chapter 5
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.

Arc 2
Chapter 4
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.

Arc 2
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”

Arc 2
Chapter 2
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”

ARC 2
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.

Chapter 27
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.

Chapter 23
Gaga clones all ran up in an attack frenzy towards team fury. Annoyed by the interception in their discussion, both Remi and Aanu screamed at the top of their voice.
“We told you to wait!” they both chorused and sent a heavy wave of attack at Gaga with one swing of their fist.
The attack was so massive, it immediately dispersed all Gaga’s clone. Aanu breathed out loudly and made the flames on his hands died down.
“I hate it when I get interrupted” he said and cracked his neck bones.
Samson looked at Gaga who suddenly collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily and sweats trickling down his face.
“You were defeated?” Samson asked with a scornful look on his face.
Gaga gritted his teeth, all his clones taken out with just one wave of attack, he didn’t underestimated them, but whatever happened was something he wasn’t prepared for. Losing in one single blow.
“Seems we have to take care of business ourselves, the child is almost born, we have to buy time” Olu said and made electric current run through his eyeballs.
“You don’t need to find us, we found you already” Aanu said with an evil grin on his face, while his entire body went up in flames.
The crystal around the eyes suddenly cracked and a large portion of it fell crashing hard to the ground.
“It is almost done” Samson said and smiled.
Samson smashed his hands together and the compressed air around his hand burst out furiously.
“That is your man, Remi” Aanu said with a blank look on his face.
“I know, he uses exact power like me, the girls are disposed and injured, we have to take care of this ourselves” Remi said and clinched his fist.
Remi dashed at Samson, screaming at the top of his voice as he ran forward, he leaped into the air and sent a punch at him. Returning the gesture, their fists smashed together, which resulted in a shockwave that crashed down the entire underground building.
Aanu burst through from the boulder that came crashing on him, and dust his body off. While straining, lightning bolts from nowhere suddenly struck him.
“ZZaawerhehgghghghghghgh prrrruuururmmm!!” Aanu muttered gibberish as the lightning struck him.
As soon as the lightning was done with him, Aanu stood still with all the hairs on his head standing upright, his body covered in smoke and his clothes torn to pieces.
“Sniffff sniff” Aanu sniffed into the air “I smell like roasted mint” he said to him and growled softly as soon as he noticed a presence behind him.
“That was enough to kill an average human, you didn’t die means you are not human” Olu’s voice came behind him.
“I don’t know what you are saying, but you will have to pay for making smell so awful, how do you think I am going to taste?” Aanu said and shouted at the top of his voice.
“Is that something you should be worried about” Olu said and turned around to face the crystallized eye that was almost freed.
“What is that?” Aanu asked
“That is ultimate power, the blink of that eye can wipe out an entire nation” Olu replied proudly.
“Woooow, really, I am guessing once that crystal completely comes off, then you can control the eyes” Aanu said and folded his arms with a smile on his face.
“Yes, but there are still some blood rituals to be done, if no blood is spilled on it in five minutes, it goes dormant and get crystallized again” Olu replied calmly.
“What do you intend on doing with it’s power?”
“Take over the world and end this meaningless existence” Olu replied. “Wait, how is it that I was talking to you?” Olu asked and quickly turned to face Aanu.
Welcomed by an angered face and raging blood. Aanu made his body go up in intense flame that threatened to burn Olu’s cloth if he took a step closer. Even from the distance he was at, he could feel the rage of the flame.
“First, you make every child in this village miserable and now you plan on destroying this existence, do you know what it means to still have hope in existence? And how many people you will be denying the privilege of better life?” Aanu asked in rage.
He suddenly dashed at Olu, his speed so fast that it felt like he was almost invisible. He rammed his fist against Olu’s stomach and sent him off, crashing against the huge eyes.
Olu fell hard to the ground and before he could think of what next to do, Aanu was on him again, he held him by the head and smashed his face into the ground.
“Lighting of dead gaaaattteee!!” Olu shouted.
From above, lighting stroke down, hurling at Aanu. Aanu grabbed Olu and raised him above his head, using him to intercept his lightning.
“Aaarrrghhhhssuusshshsshsshqququq” Olu shouted out. “How are you faster than lightning?” he asked weakly.
“You don’t toy with the feelings of a man” Aanu replied and smashed him again into the ground.
The last crystal piece on the eye slowly came off. Remi suddenly crashed against the eye from above, shattering it into thousand of pieces.
“Pheeew, that was close” Aanu muttered as he watched the eye go down.
Samson came to a running landing next to Remi and screamed out in annoyance.
“What I have dedicated my entire life to, and now it comes crashing in minutes” He screamed and smashed his fist into the ground.
Remi chuckled and stood to his feet, watching as Samson shouted at the top of his voice in agony.
“Blame yourself for being weak” Remi replied and sniffed.
Samson growled and looked at Remi, the hairs on his head slowly began to grow in length, braided into seven equal part. His countenance immediately changed, red glowing eyes and the aura around him oozed evil.
Nubia grabbed Iyanu by the right arm and easily pulled her back.
“Remi told us to guard the village, there is a good reason for that, don’t let your stupidity get in the way of that, you also have responsibility” Nubia said to Iyanu with a stern voice.
“And that responsibility includes not abandoning a family” Iyanu replied and struggled to free herself.
“Now I know you are silly or something, what if something happens here, and have you realized you are the only weak person among us, all this is a way to protect you since you will get in their way and the only way to help is to listen to what they say and guard this village” Nubia said and threw Iyanu off balance.

Chapter 22
“Is everyone alright?” Remi asked in the dark.
Nubia made her began to glow of warm flames, in other to illuminate the dark environment.
“Yes, no one is hurt, thanks to you” Aanu replied and helped Iyanu to her feet.
Within that short moment when the building collapsed, Remi had smashed his fist into the ground, making a large deep hole in the ground, which they all jumped into and he had used his body to act as a shield to shield the other boulders that fell into the hole after them.
“So this is it, they knew from the very instant we were here” Iyanu muttered and dust off her body “How do we get out of here?”
“I will just have to bore a hole out again” Remi said.

A huge crystallized eye hanged in mid-air of the blue glowing cave, and standing right before the eyes were three men. Creepy voices echoing all over the place and followed next by flowing ghost of new born babies.
“We still don’t have enough baby souls to bring the eye to life” the boy in the middle said and sighed.
“We only need one more child, Gaga, what is the report” the man on the right asked the person on the left.
Gaga a huge man, with scars running all over his face, scoffed and looked at Olu the man on the right and smiled.
“There should be a child born by late hours of today and once that soul is gained, the Eye will come alive and we can proceed with our plan” Gaga replied.
“What about the Jujuman Guild members, hope you have taken care of them” Olu asked the boy on the right.
“I cant risk anyone coming in my way, not when I have come this far, and not that guild” the boy in the middle replied “There should be with their ancestors by now”
“Samson” Gaga said and focused back on the crystalized eye.
“Gaga, send out your clones to scout the environment” Samson said
Gaga puffed and stared at Samson with an angry expression on his face
“He keeps dishing out the orders, brat” Gaga thought within himself and slammed his hands together, and suddenly seven of himself came out of thine air.
“Scout the area, if you see any unfamiliar faces, kill them” Gaga ordered his clones and immediately they dashed off.
Remi pulled Iyanu out of the hole, while Nubia flew out holding tight to Aanu, she flapped her wings hard, that it almost sent Iyanu off her feet.
“Are you ooooooolllright” Iyanu screamed at Nubia at the top of her voice, grinning hard.
Nubia suddenly grabbed Iyanu by the neck and raised her in mid-air
“Do you want to die?”
“Guys, lets stop the play for now, we have work to do, we shouldn’t be bring our doings at home and showing them outside” Remi said.
“For the first time I agree with you” Aanu replied Remi.
“Ehh, so you mean I don’t have sense” Remi shouted and locked Aanu’s shirt and pulled him closer.
Aanu made his head go up in flames, and puffed out black smokes from his mouth right at Remi, and followed next by series of barraging they sent at themselves.
“Ehhh!!!” Both Iyanu and Nubia chorused.
“You all have a lot of energy for someone who just barely escaped death” Gaga said from afar
Their attention all moved to the man standing before them.
“Sorry we are in the midst of business, can you give us some few minute, I have to teach this boy a bitter lesson” Remi shouted and pulled Aanu’s hair.
“Guys, that is the enemy right before us” Nubia shouted and went up in flames, she grabbed both Remi and Aanu by the head and slammed their head together.
“Factory data reset successful” Aanu said and sighed.
Gaga dashed at them and in an instant he was in their midst, he rammed his fist at Remi, who quickly used his hands to intercept the punch that came at his chest, but still wasn’t enough to as the punch threw him off balance and smashed him against the wall.
He launched a punch at Nubia, who managed to harden her body and the scales on them, ramming his fist at her, Gaga screamed at the top of his voice and forced his punch on Nubia, breaking the scales on her body and sending her off her feet.
He focused next on Iyanu, and sent a punch at her, Aanu quickly dived inbetween Iyanu and the punch, covering her and intercepting the punch, since she was the weakest among them and her magic wasn’t the offensive type.
Aanu screamed as the punch hit him hard on his back, but still he maintained his ground, but wriggling in pain. He coughed out blood from his mouth and looked at Iyanu who was already gripped with fear.
“You all took my punch and are still breathing well” Gaga said and smiled “You deserve accolades”
Remi shot himself out of the wall he was stuck in, gathering wind beneath his leg and using them as propeller, he got closer to Gaga and smashed his face with his knees and instantly Gaga turned into white fume and dispersed.
“A clone” Aanu muttered and groaned in pain.
“Stay while I heal you” Iyanu said and placed her hands on Aanu’s back and her hands began to glow while it healed Aanu.
“I am weak, if I continue like this I am sure to put everyone here in danger, I need to get stronger” Iyanu thought within herself as she healed Aanu.
“That was just a clone, imaging going up against the main user” Nubia said and cracked her neck bones.
“Either way, we have no option than to fight them” Remi said and jammed his fist together “And beside I just found a worthy opponent”
“Huhn wait, you mean I am not a worthy opponent?” Aanu shouted at the top of his voice and tried walking closer to Remi.
“You have to stay still and let HER HEAL YOU” Nubia shouted and bashed his head.
“Oouououuucchh ttaaatatatatat” Aanu shouted and gritted his teeth.
“This is as far as you can go” Gaga’s voice in multiple suddenly came from the exit.
Team Fury all focused their gaze on the clones before them, six in number
“We are outnumbered” Iyanu said in fear
“These ones are not worth fighting, we will bash them and go for the real one, Aanu if you think you are a worthy opponent, lets see who defeats the most” Remi said and smiled mischievously.
“That’s the spirit!!!” Aanu shouted at the top of his voice and breathe out fire.
Gaga instantly had a confused look on his face.
“This children are weird”

Chapter 21
Team Fury members were ushered into the cozy hut of the village chief, making themselves comfortable on the mat that spread across the entire room. They watched as the person that had led them in walked into the room on the right and moments later returned with an elderly man, barely any hair on his head.
The man gently made himself comfortable also on the mat and signaled to the boy that had gone to call him to leave.
“Thank you for honoring this mission” the man said and heaved.
“We will like to hear in details about this threat” Remi said.
“Seven years ago, they had come to this village and we accepted them, when they told us, our valley had the herbs they needed to curb the raging anti magic disease, we saw it and it was evident, because of the good deeds they did, we decided to let them continue with their research in the valley, but about a year ago, our new born babies started growing with strange traits on their bodies, half humans and half demons, and some half of an animal and with odd behaviours also” the man said and paused
“Bring her in” the man said at the top of his voice and from the room on the right, a girl was brought in.
Her left side of her body were completely possessed by a demon side, a wing on that part and scaly hands.
“We have more of this, we later discovered that it was those we had permitted, somehow they had located something hideous, even we villagers thought was a myth”
“What?” Aanu asked curiously
“The eye of the demon Ogun fought on his first war as a classical magician” the chief replied sadly.
“They are still in the extracting stage, report from the spy we sent in says they had mined it down to the wrist level and all that is remaining is a small part of the elbow joint” the chief said and heaved again “If they succeed in getting this, there is no telling what they might do with it, but whatever it is, is nothing good, and that is why we requested for help” the chief added and supported his weight with his hands as he tried to stand up.
“If this continues, then there is probability that the entire village is on the brink of extinction” Remi said and also stood up, he smiled and stretched his body around and let out a loud sigh and spoke “Alright guys, we don’t have the luxury of time, we should set out immediately and see to things” he said and jammed his hands together.

“This mission was supposed to be classified as a higher ranking one” Aanu muttered as they all struggled through the swamp the set the boundary between the village and the valley.
Getting to dry land, Aanu muttered in displeasure at the sight of his leg all covered in mud and sticky water.
“You are not the only one in this condition” Remi said with a stern voice and continued leading the way.
“Captain, what do we if it happens our opponent are stronger than we are?” Iyanu asked with a shaky voice.
“Were you thinking anything would be easy, isn’t that the reason we’ve been training very hard?” Nubia replied with an angry expression on her face “How are you going to protect anyone being a coward” Nubia added.
“HOW DARE YOOOUUUUUUUU!!” Iyanu growled out loudly
“What are you going to DOOO?” Nubia barked at her and made thick fumes shoot out of her nostrils
“Eehhhee, you think that is enough to scare me abi” Iyanu replied and clinched her fist.
“We are there” Remi announced.
Before them was an entrance that ran into the ground, in what seems to be an underground hideout, taking cover in behind the trees, they took great caution while studying their environment.
“Nubia, give us visual from the sky” Remi said and signaled to her.
Nubia immediately spread out her wings and in an instant elevated into the sky, while the other team members awaited her feedback.
“She says everywhere is clear, no guards” Aanu said.
“Seems they are unbothered, since they know the villagers are powerless, makes sense if they had no guard on patrol” Remi replied “I can feel massive magic presence coming out from the entrance” he added and came out of hiding.
They all approached the entrance, with nothing out of the ordinary. Walking distance into the entrance, with the illuminating light getting dim as they went deeper into it. Aanu suddenly sneezed out loudly and sniffed hard.
“Dust” he said and raised his head up “I am allergic to dust” he said again, noticing something was wrong.
A small piece of rock fell off from the top, hitting Aanu on his head, and followed by another again, a slightly bigger one.
“Guys, the rock above are coming apart” he said noticing the deep crack line that ran above.
“It’s a trap, the building will be collapsing” Remi said, and turned around “We are way past the entrance”
Before they could think next on their next move, the boulder suddenly dropped from above right at the entrance, completely covering their only way out. Another boulder on the other end of came crashing down, trapping them inbetween with nowhere to run to.
And suddenly the entire building came crashing down on them

Chapter 20
Remi walked toward the request board on the ground floor of the guild and stood next to Trigger who was also scouting for mission on behalf of his team. With every other person going about and doing their things, most of them engage in the hall which and having fun. Remi reached for a request and pulled it off the board.
“You haven’t found one yet?” he asked Trigger and looked at him
“I have” he said and showed the request with him “It’s a request to cast out a demon from a village chief” he replied
“And what are you still doing staring at the board?”
“Tch, I was thinking I could find an easier one” Trigger replied
“Coward” Remi replied and turned around to take his leave.
“Say that again, I dare you” Trigger said groaning, he made his finger tips to turn into barrels and moved his moved them.
“Heennhh, you want to fight, you should know your place” Remi replied arrogantly and took a step to walk out.
Trigger grabbed him by the shirt from behind and pulled him back with great force slamming him against the request board, which instantly broke into pieces
“YOOUUU ASKKKEDD FOORRR IITTT” Remi shouted and sent a blow at Trigger.
Narrowly dodging it, the air wave which Remi’s fist generated, it went straight at Nicolas who was getting himself ready to eat. The wave pulled Nicolas off the seat, turned his table upside down and scattered his food on the ground.
“Erreeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrerrrrr, Crocodile buyout” he shouted and instantly transformed his body into that of a crocodile and increased in height.
He screamed at the top of his voice and grabbed Aanu who was next to him by the head and threw him against the wall.
“Do you want me to burn you to death?” Aanu shouted and sent out flames from his body which resulted in a loud bang that shattered the entire wall of the guild’s ground floor.
“ENNOOUUUGGHHHH” Nubia shouted at the top of her voice and instantly everyone stopped their rampage.
“Errhhh who are you to order us around?” Ayo asked with a squinted eyes.
“Do you wish to go up against me, or I should get everyone of you back to order?” she said with evil aura flowing out form her body.
“Good” she said with a frown “Everyone of you should get to work and make sure the guild is back to normal” she commanded and pointed her hand towards the damaged wall.
“YES MA!!” everyone chorused.
“Tch, commanding such prowess” Remi muttered and bit his lower lips
“Did you say SOMMMETTHHIINNGG??” Nubia asked and walked closer to Remi.
“Not at all” Remi replied as sweat broke out on his face.

Team Fury got themselves ready to set out on their request, getting to the train station, they sat and waited patiently for the next train that would be taking them on their next mission at the waiting hall, completely occupying the front row.
Their attention turned towards the murmurs that came from the opposite direction of the waiting hall where they sat and they noticed it was the member of Goddess Guild, and obviously talking about them.
“Just look away” Remi said and relaxed his head on his chair “We have no reason to fight with ladies”
Aanu smiled on seeing Ire joining up with the three ladies squad from the guild and stood up in excitement
“Ire” he shouted at the top of his voice and ran up to her.
Suddenly he was intercepted by who seems to be the leader of the team.
“Hey, she’s my friend, let me through” he said and brushed the girl aside.
In excitement, he grabbed Ire by the shoulder smiling brightly, until the unexpected happened. Ire sent a powerful punch right at his stomach and place a sharp icy knife across his neck.
Aanu looked up in awe at the sudden turn of event, finding it hard to belief it was the Ire he knew from his childhood.
***
***
Aanu sat on the top of the train as it headed towards their destination, on the last couch of the train were the Goddess Guild member, also heading to same direction as them. Feeling down and sad, laid on his back on the train as it moved and starred at the sky.
“There is just one thing to do, I have to beat some senses into her” he said and slammed his hands together.
The train finally came to a stop as it got to its destination, Team Fury alighted alongside other passengers and on the last end of the train were the Goddess Guild members, without batting an eye at Aanu, Ire walked off with her team.
“You have to come off it, people change, and beside its good, you can take your frustration out on the people we are going up against” Iyanu said and tapped him on the shoulder.
“Yeah, I am not bothered” he replied faking a smile.
“Your heart bleeds” Nubia’s voice came at his head.
He let out a soft sigh and tagged behind his team.
“Before night fall, we should be at the village, so we can gather information and know the situation of things and act, while walking let’s review our mission objective” Remi said, taking the lead “Nubia, give the briefing”
“Some strange people have been having strange activities at the extreme of the village and people who were sent to check it out never returned, but word is they are trying to revive something evil, or gain some evil power, that has a side effect on the village new born” Nubia said, reading from the request paper with her.
“Alright guys, lets wrap things off quickly”
Reaching the boundary of the village where their mission would be taking place, from the hill where they stood, the could see the entire landscape of the village and how it was laid, and outside the end of the village boundary was a huge mountain that let out steams from the top.
“My guess is that is where we would be going, but first we have to meet with the villagers and get the full details” Remi said

Chapter 19
Aanu received a blow to the jaw, which sent him flying off into the distance, before he could gather his thoughts together, his opponent was already on him again, grabbed him by the neck and slammed him hard into the ground.
Remi guard his face with his hands as a heavy blow landed on them and pulled him backward with great force, breathing heavily with his eyes squinted, his opponents strength greatly outmatched his. He guarded again as his opponent leaped at him
“HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO DEFEEEENNNDDD!!!?” His opponent screamed and rammed his right fist at Remi, sending him hard against the ground.
Nubia and Iyanu crashed hard to the ground, laying next to each other and writhing in pains from the continuous heavy attack they took.
“Eheheh, is this the tiny power you used to become a guild member? Maybe after this we will raid the main cities where guilds are located” the leader said with pride.
Aanu groaned as he pulled himself up, letting himself stand loosely, he lowered his head and giggled
“What’s funny?” the leader of the thieves asked
Aanu used his thumb to wipe off the blood on his lips and raised his head up to look at the thieves.
“Imagine losing to people like you, my shame wont stand that shame” Aanu said and looked at Remi “Are you done warming up?”
“Kikiki, that was not even enough to get me warmed up” Remi replied and elevated into the sky “The girls are out of commission, its two on one, first person to get things done, gets twenty gold coins” Remi said and smiled.
“Fair deal”
PRESENT DAY
MAGIC COURT
“I defeated them first right?”
The judge frowned his face at the jokes the kids made between themselves, not giving them an iota of respect or have any fear of the punishment that might be given out to them.
“Well, the story does not end there”
THREE DAYS AGO
Aanu dashed forward at his opponent, screaming at the top of his voice, he stretched his hands forward and made flames shoot out from his finger tips.
“Piercing flames” he shouted and made the flames pump out in full force.
The pin like flames pierced through the body of its target easily, through the left chest and both legs and hands, instantly paralyzing the target, Aanu got closer and with his fist of flames he smashed his opponent on the jaw, sending him flying off into the distance and hard against the ground.
Remi smashed his fist on the ground and pulled out a huge rock from the debris, lifting it up with his full strength he threw it at his opponent, while screaming at the top of his voice. The rock smashed his opponent against the ground, breaking the leg bones completely.
Nubia and Iyanu on the other side managed to also get rid of their opponent.
“Tch, we did it, time to go get our reward” Aanu shouted at the top of his voice and shot out flames from his hands.
“Aanu” Iyanu muttered as she watched the flames drop on the crops in the farm.
In a moment the entire farm was already set ablaze, burning with large inferno, which quickly spread like around and letting out booming noise as it raged on.
“What have we done?” Nubia muttered.
Aanu sniffed into the air and caught the scent of oil around the field.
“That wasn’t me, they already had oil buried around the field, so this is their backup plan for when they get ever get intercepted?” Aanu muttered in anger.
PRESENT DAY
MAGIC COURT
“So that was basically happened, it wasn’t our fault the field went up in flames” Aanu said to the judge and instantly changed his countenance to a frown
The judge frowned back at Aanu and then glanced at the book before him and sighed.
“The investigation that we carried out showed this also, but also shows how you all lack experience in your guild, and here is my judgement, the both of you are to do community service for three weeks, cleaning up the entire street of the city, every inch of it and within this time, the sanitation body of the city will be on break” the judge said and banged the table with his fist.
“Wait, that is really unfair, it wasn’t our fault to begin with, doing this seems like you are trying to get to our guild without good reasons, either with us or not, that field was still going to go up in flames” Remi shouted.
“Then maybe I should give out punishment for the mistakes you’ve made, and which was really your fault” the judge said and starred at Remi.
“Ehehehe, ko necessary na” Remi replied with a silly smile on his face.

“So that means we wont be going on any job till the end of three weeks?” Remi muttered to himself as he struck the sharp end of the metal on his hand to the ground, using it to pick up littered papers on the ground and dumped it into the basket that hung across his back
Aanu could only groan as sweat broke out of his face
“This city is so large, three weeks looks like three years, and to think the amount of litters all around could be as much as this, is just a pain” Remi muttered.
Both of them walking through the lonely street of the city, while picking up litters, they heard a painful moan from the dark alley to the left and halted at the same time.
Next came the sound of a slap and followed by a painful moan.
“Seems picking up litters could be fun” Aanu said and smiled wickedly as flames took over his hands.
He dashed into the dark alley and smashed the man before him hard on the face, which send him crashing hard against the wall. He chucked with evil content and took a look at the lady laying on the ground next to him.
“Are you hurt?” he asked her and starred at her with his flaming eyes.
Taking a look at the guild mark on his shoulder, the lady stood up and sent a resounding slap across his face.
“It is always your guild who spoils the fun someone has, did you hear me screaming for help” the lady said and ran over to the unconscious man.
“If anything happens to my fiancé, I will take it up and report to the Magic Council” the lady said as she tried reviving the man on the floor.
“Huhn, wait, that guy was torturing you just now, the least you could do was say a thank you” Remi said.
“It was a torture of love and affection; we do come here to do our thing so no one would interfere” the lady said sobbing.
“Crazy people everywhere in this city” Aanu muttered and turned around to leave “And by the way, that dude look more like your grand father, dating someone with grey hairs already” Aanu said in annoyance.
“Mark my face and voice, anywhere I see you in need of help, I promise not to help you and if word of this gets to the council” Aanu said and turned his head backward, revealing his flaming eyes “I will hunt you”

germaphobe:
hope you are OK bro?. would love to hear from you soon.

I'm doing good sir, misplaced my phone, but I should be back by month end. Thanks a loooooottt

Chapter 18
Team Fury stood before the court council of the Magic Alter, each of them having a magic blocker in form of a handcuff on them. They stood before the Jury and watched as everyone began to take their seats in the court room.
“The allegations before this particular team of the Juju Man Guild are so many we can no longer overlook them and they shall be used as a scape goat to others” the white bearded man who is the judge said and adjusted his white garment and the large beads around his neck.
“Allegation one, this particular team crashed down the statue of Sango, on a mission to apprehend a wanted pirate” the man said and focused on the book before him.
“Allegation two, they destroyed the major rail line, while escorting Itunu the daughter of the famous merchant to her destination, Three, they set a whole minor city on fire, making about three hundred people homeless, four..” the man stopped and squinted his face and in annoyance he banged the table and stood up.
“YOU HAVE ABOUT FIFTEEN DIFFERENT ALLEGATIONS AGAINST YOU!!!” he shouted at the top of his voice “YOU’VE ONLY BEEN TAKING MISSION FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS” the man shouted again and slammed his hands on the table.
“But we did our jobs successfully, whatever was destroyed were inevitable” Remi said with a smile.
“More like a collateral damage” Aanu added and all of them went into an uproar of laughter.
“Do you think this is funny?” the elderly man from the magic Alter asked in a stern voice, which raised the pressure in the room.
“And the final allegation here, you were sent on a mission to settle a dispute between two communities because of the conflict between them on who will have the possession of a farm land and what did you do? You set the whole farm on fire, about twenty acres worth of farm land, sending the whole community into famine, and increased the migration of these people into the city, and now we have to cater for them, till everything gets back to normal and that is about 5 years from now” the judge said in annoyance.
“Essshhcuussee me sir” Aanu said and raised up his hands.
“That was not what really happened” he said
“THEN WHAT?”
“Well….”
THREE DAYS AGO
Remi stood by the request board, looking at the pile of request on the board, so much they had begin to pin other requests on older ones.
“Seems everyone are doing their job so well, the request are now piled up, more than we can really handle, and we have lesser teams” Remi muttered to himself and turned around.
He walked towards the bar, where Ekun had his private spot and shouted at him.
“MASTER!!”
Ekun looked at him and relaxed his back, expecting him to go on with his words.
“We have more request than we can handle with the present team on ground, and there are no domestic request on the board”
“Huhnn, what are you saying?”
“I want to speak on behalf of the teams that didn’t scale through the test, the test shouldn’t be a merit to determine their strength, let them take on jobs also as the rest of us, they also have needs to cater for like us and they need money for things like that” Remi said and slammed his fist together.
Meanwhile, everyone was focused on his words, suspending all their activities.
“I agree” Aanu said out.
“Me too!!” and gradually the whole Juju Man guild were already supporting the motion.
Ekun placed his legs on the table and scoffed.
“You are a real pain the bombom” he said and closed his eyes “I also support it” he said lowly.
A loud cheer erupted in the guild, with wild jubilation from everyone, no one had expected Ekun to give such a reply, considering how stubborn and adamant he was.
“I got a mission that pays well in cash and farm foods” Iyanu said running up to Aanu
“Let’s see” he replied and received the request from her.
“Hmm, a good one, hey Remi, check this out” Aanu shouted and walked up to Remi.
“They need our guild to come help settle a land dispute, and the reward is 60 gold coins and lots of farm foods”
“Makes sense, how many sack bag are we taking along? Prepare yourselves soldiers, we move out” Remi said.
***
***
Team Fury got to their destination, looking at the vast farm land from the mountain top they stood, what they saw was evidence that their reward was going to be a mouth watering one, even more than they had thought.
Reaching the main entrance of the village, they were welcome by the villagers, who had been expecting their arrival.
“Welcome, are you from the Jujuman Guild?” the man that walked up to them asked, looking for evidence to clear his doubt.
Remi pointed to Nubia’s laps, pointing at the Juju Man logo on her laps
“Is that enough?”
“Follow me”
The man led them through the grain stalks in the wide farmland, taking the lead as they went further from the village into the farm land.
“So where are the other people you need to settle dispute with?” Iyanu asked, since everywhere seemed to be unusually quite
“Didn’t you read the request completely, we need to settle a dispute with farm thieves that comes to loot our produce when we harvest and take all our money, kidnap our children and lay with our young girls against their will” the man said and turned around to face them.
“The request didn’t give this details” Nubia said confused and looked at Iyanu.
“Actually it was a two page request, I didn’t turn around to see the complete details” Iyanu said fumbling her fingers together”
“Ode ni girl yi sha” Nubia said in annoyance.
“Anyhow we look at it, we don’t have any option than to take it on, where are these people” Remi asked the man.
“There, they have their settlement right in the middle of the farm” the man said and pointed to the large hut that was before them.
“There we store the produce, and they come to get it, and days like this they are always around at night to get them” the man said.
“You can go back, it almost noon, we will wait and watch out for them” Remi said
“We are trusting you in this” the man said as he turned around to take his leave.
***
***
The noise of galloping horse caught the attention of Team Fury, and quickly they got themselves up and watched from the distance as the voices of the thieves got louder as they neared the large hut.
“Boss the hut is empty, these villagers dare us”
Team Fury made themselves visible to the thieves
“HERE COMMMEEESS THE DRAGGGOOONNN” Aanu shouted at the top of his voice and sent out fire from his mouth.
“Is this your doing?” the leader who was sitting gallantly on his horse asked with a stern look.
“Yea, Team Fury of the Juju Man Guild” Remi replied and slammed his hands together.
“I see, your guild has been making waves these days, every where you turn to, it is always about your guild, you have a good reputation, but I will find it fun ending your lives here, Kill them”
“They are total of six, they don’t have strong magic presence, but seems they rely on the white men technology” Aanu said and made flames go up his arms.
“No” Nubia replied.
The thieves brought out an injection each and stabbed it into themselves, letting out a loud roar, their veins popped out and their body muscles increased, their eyes reeking of evil and wicked intentions, they were clearly not themselves.
“What in heaven is that? They magic power just got off chart” Remi muttered.
“It makes them worth fighting” Aanu said and screamed out loudly

Chapter 17
“I will leave you to yourself” Remi said to the Itunu, the Merchant’s daughter and turned around to take his leave. “If you need anything you can let the girls know” he added and closed the door behind him.
Standing directly in front of door was Iyanu and Nubia, both avoiding body and eye contact with each other.
“You too should be close to the room, we cant risk anything” he said and walked towards the main exit that led to another couch of the train “and try to get along” he added and walked out.
“Why do you always get attached to him?” Iyanu asked Nubia without batting an eye at her.
“If not him then who, he nursed me to this world, and it is my duty to always be by his side” Nubia replied coldly “And there is nothing you can do about it, you are just giving yourself unnecessary headache”
Iyanu fumed in anger and turned to face Nubia, growling hard.
“That does not mean a thing, you are not his type”
“And what makes you think you are his type?” Nubia asked coldly with a snarl on her face.
“Well… you see..eee” Iyanu stuttered not finding the right answer to the question Nubia threw at her. “I am everyone’s spec, it is something you cant understand since you are a dragoni”
Nubia smiled devilishly and made the scales around her hands hardened and made her finger tips go up in flames
“What are you doing?” Iyanu asked in fear.
“Showing you some dragoni love” Nubia replied and she leaned closer to Iyanu.
“Are you serious?”
“Do I look like I am joking, if you can handle this flame, even with your healing magic, then I will let you have him” she said and smiled this time revealing all her evil intentions.
“HEELLLPPPPPPP!!!” Iyanu screamed out loud.
“Weaklings are not allowed near Aanu” Nubia said gritting her teeth and staring deeply at Iyanu “Is that understood?”
Iyanu gulped hard and replied “Perfectly” she said with sweat already breaking out on her face.
“Good” Nubia replied and walked off “I will go scout the train from the top, you remain here”
Remi and Aanu stood at the top of the train watching out for any abnormality on the trail track.
Aanu twitched his nose and sneezed out loudly, he sniffed and wiped his nose.
“Are you alright?” Remi asked concerned.
“I am not sure, but I perceived dynamites for a brief moment there” Aanu replied and starred into the distance.
“Maybe I and Nubia should go up ahead and see if there is anything, just to make sure” Aanu suggested.
“I smelt it too” Nubia replied from behind and walked up to them.
She spread out her wings and elevated into the air
“It makes sense to be on the safer side” she said and grabbed Aanu by the arms.
“You really don’t need to hold on to me, I can use my flames” Aanu said blankly.
“It is faster this way” Nubia replied and soared into the sky.
***
***
The smell of the dynamites steadily began to grow stronger as they soared ahead in the sky along the rail track.
“It is getting stronger” Nubia said as she soared in the sky, holding tight to Aanu.
“It really seems to be an ambush, let’s take care of this quickly, seems it starts from here” Aanu said
He dropped down from the sky, and flipped around as he dived towards the ground, shooting out flames from his legs and hands, he used it to make himself steady and landed on the rail track.
“Really” he muttered.
By each side of the rail track, were dynamites each on both sides of the track, going up in a straight continuous line, till it was out of sight.
Nubia landed beside him and opened her eyes widely on seeing the dynamites.
“There are three of them ahead, probably waiting for the train to get closer, what do we do?”
“Simple, we blow them up, isn’t that what they had in mind, let’s help them achieve that” Aanu said and slammed his fist together.
He knelt down before the first dynamite and made flame on his finger tip, he carefully placed the flame on the tip of the dynamite and stepped back, as the rope he set on fire steadily began to burn off towards the explosive part of the dynamite.
With a loud boom, the dynamites took turn to set off, letting out a loud explosive noise as they exploded.
“What is happening?” the leader of the gang asked in awe as they all saw the dynamite exploded and began to get closer to them.
Without uttering any other words, they all took to their heels, diving into nearby bush for safety.
“Who set the dynamite off?” the leader screamed at the top of his voice.
He grabbed the person next to him and bit him hard on the nose
“Arrrgghh, oga wetyn do you na, wetyn cause biting naw?” the enraged man asked, as he struggled to free himself.
“It must be the guards from Juju Man” the third replied and stood up.
“Then we do it the old way” the boss replied and stood up
From distance they could see Aanu and Nubia running up to them, taking aim with their guns, the waited patiently for them to get closer to them.
“Fire!!!” the boss shouted the orders and instantly they pulled the trigger.
“Its magic from those barrels” Aanu shouted and slammed his palms together.
“Firreeee shieelld!!” he shouted as the flames from his hands formed a wide shield that completely covered him and melted the bullets that came at him.
“Like that is even enough to stop us” the boss shouted and swayed the gun around in the air, swinging it swiftly and effortlessly, he smashed the butt of the gun on the ground.
Right where Aanu was, a large brick shot out from the ground beneath Aanu and threw him into the sky, before he could decide next, another brick smashed his hard from the back and sent him straight to the ground.
Seeing this, Nubia increased her speed.
“Earth bullet” one of the men said softly and made stone particles on the ground float in the air, with pointed nibs.
He slammed his hands together and sent them at Nubia, who found it hard to dodge all stone bullets. Seriously getting hit by the bullets, she fell to the ground, since she didn’t have enough time to harden the scales around her body.
“Like I said this little puns are not enough to stop our mission” the leader said, as he watched Aanu and Nubia groan in pain on the ground.
“Right back at you” Aanu said and managed to pull himself up with a wide smile on his face.
“I needed something to warm me up” he said and puffed out smoke from his nostrils and ears.
He looked behind him and saw the train was rapidly approaching them.
He smacked his hands together and made flames engulf his entire body.
“I hate persistent kids, let’s put him where he belongs”
Aanu dashed at them, screaming at the top of his voice, inches away from them he stumped his left leg on the ground and sent fire straight into the ground.
The stone bullets hurl at him the time with greater speed than it did to Nubia.
“I call on the flames of hell, the flames of life, you shall answer my call and harken to my words” Aanu shouted and smashed his hands right into the ground. The flames from his hands forced its way into the ground and burst out like a volcano, the ones he had sent from his leg earlier, also burst out beneath one of his opponent and sent him into the sky.
The stone bullet that rushed at him only passed through his body that was now completely made of flames and melted before they could come out on the other side.
“What kind of demon is this?” the leader said in fear, and clinched tight to his gun.
He attempted to sway his gun around again, but it was snatch away from him by Nubia and without thinking twice, she smacked the butt of the gun straight on his head, instantly sending him unconscious
“And only one more remain” Aanu said devilishly and began to walk closer to the man who was already numb.
He grabbed him by the collar and gave him a powerful headbutt.
“Seems he really took care of our guest” Remi said from the top of the train where he stood as the train got closer to Aanu.
The leader of the team managed to get to his feet and brought out a smoke bomb from his inner pocket.
“I will surely repay you for this day, braaatttt” he shouted and threw the smoke bomb to the ground, which instantly raised up thick smokes and after it had died down, they were nowhere to be found.
“Cowards, next time I met you, I will roast you up” Aanu shouted at the top of his voice.
