Prologue

Arvine look back up to the boat, and gets out of his room.
He quickly grasped the fresh air around him.
What he saw was a beautiful land, yet seems ravaged by scars of battles.
He quickly readied his staff and his artifacts......

Investigation

Arvine was in the town of Rhine, when he heard a large voice outside of his inn.
A large, heavy man came out of a boat, blood and wound is all over his body.
He was begging for mercy, and he shouted people to listen to him.
All the people, thinking him was a mad person, left him to die.
However, Arvine decided to listen to him.

"Sir, is there anything I can help?" (Arvine)
"Yes! If you could! My country is in danger!" (Old Knight)
"Wait, which country?" (Arvine)
"A country in the west, Atauromin." (Old Knight)
"Atauromin......." (Arvine)

Arvine remembered his mother's story.
In an island, there lives a great country, famous for it's historical backgrounds.
In the island, a large kingdom called Atauromin was made.
Atauromin was famous for it's gem, which is often used in creating magical properties.
Arvine quickly put up the flashbacks, and replied to the knight.

"I will help you Sir, but I hope my strength enough is alone." (Arvine)
"Thank you boy, t-than-k-k....." (Old Knight)
"...................." (Arvine)
"Rest in Peace, great knight." (Arvine)

Arvine quickly get up, and take a boat to Isle de Murta, to the kingdom of Atauromin.
He just landed up on the boat, when.....

"Hey! Are you going to Isle de Murta?" (Young Knight)
"I want to join!" (Young Knight)

A young knight, seemingly in his 20s, quickly jumped on the boat.
He was energized, just like Arvine.

"My name is Zaimar! You can call me Zaim!" (Zaim)
"Errr.....sure! My name is Arvine." (Arvine)
"I'll just call you Vine, ok?" (Zaim)
"Sure, why not? Why are you going there?" (Arvine)
"It's a secret." (Zaim)

And so, the two men quickly get up on the boat, to Isle de Murta.
Unbeknown to them, a large army was stationed there......

The Horde

Arvine arrived at Isle de Murta, only found a large commotion was resided there.
A large horde of monsters, mainly Giants, are currently forming an attack from the dungeon.
The dungeon, led by an underground king called Werrner, was planning an assault on the kingdom.
Arvine hears the commotion out loud.

"It's the end!" (Man 1)
"We're dead!" (Woman 1)
"I'm too young to die!" (Man 2)

Arvine shook his head at watching the pitiful sight, then saw a poster.
The poster shown a king's head, pointing at him, with a large word....

"I WANT YOU TO BE IN THE ARMY! BEAT BACK THE HORDE!"

Arvine feel a push in his shoulder.

"I'm here to join the army! How about you?" (Zaim)
"I'm here to investigate." (Arvine)
"The army seemed to be in trouble." (Zaim)
"Then help them!" (Arvine)
"Hmm...ok, I'll help the army." (Arvine)
"That's the spirit!" (Zaim)

Arvine was pushed in the shoulder again.

"Ok bro, I'm going to the inn first, you just put up your name on the registration first." (Arvine)

And so, Arvine went back to the inn, while Zaim register both of them in the registration office.
However, Zaim accidentally dropped Arvine' registsration, giving up an issue......

Battle of Isle de Murta

3 days later, scouts reported that The Horde are marching their way up here.
Zaim was called to the registration office, however, Arvine don't.
Thinking that the registrator are just forgetting him, Arvine just walk up to the battle zone.
Arrived there, he sees the kingdom's army were shaken.

Joining the ranks, suddenly, a large man pulled Arvine from the line.
He quickly inspect him, and shouted at him......

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU??!!" (Guard)
"Huh? What? I'm a soldier of course." (Arvine)
"YOU'RE NOT ON THE LIST! WHO ARE YOU??!!" (Guard)
"I'm a soldier." (Arvine)

Suddenly, the large man grabbed Arvine, and throw him like a sack.
He quickly shouted:

"SPIES! SPIES OF WERRNER! KILL HIM!" (Guard)

Suddenly, 10 soldiers surrounded Arvine.
Arvine was ready to fight, but then he heard a magnificent clap.
All the soldiers withdraw, and from the top of the regiment, the king of Ataumorin arrived.

"So, you're the spy?" (King)
"What do you mean?" (Arvine)
"Our report told us about a spy hidden on our ranks, which we found out now." (King)
"That the spy was you." (King)
"I'm not a spy." (Arvine)
"Heh, liar. I'm Zeus, and I'm going to finish you as my practice!" (Zeus)

Suddenly, three man appeared from Arvine's side and back, and Zeus come in front of him.
"Beat him guys!"

The three man quickly launched on Arvine.
However, Arvine predicted it, and teleported on the back of one of them.

Arvine grabbed his staff, and hit the head of the guard with the blunt side of the staff.
The first guard fainted, then the 2nd guard launched himself on Arvine.
Arvine quickly casted blast, which blows up the 2nd guard, wound him severely, but still alive.
The 3rd guard, seems a bit frightened, quickly swiped his sword.
Arvine ducked to evade it, and in 1 nimble movement, he throws 3 electrical arrows to him.
The 3rd guard was hitted in the shoulders, and the last one was on his chest.
Arvine electrocuted him, knocking him out cold.
And at last, he was left alone with Zeus.......

Unbreakable!

Arvine, after defeated the guard, confront Zeus.
The 2 men watched each other in awe.....
And Zeus is the one who break the silence first.

Zeus roared in might, and with that, he slashed his sword to Arvine.
Arvine tried to parry it, but with such huge strength, he was pushed back.
Unable to block it no more, Arvine teleported backwards.
He casted a Blast to come out of the ground, only found out that Zeus doesn't get even a scratch.

"What? Is your armor unbreakable or what?" (Arvine)
"Hmph, you will never beat me!" (Zeus)

Zeus strikes again, and with each strike, he grows more aggresive.
Suddenly, the sword tasted Arvine's blood, and it grows more sharper.
Arvine tried to deflect it, but noticed that his staff are starting to get cutted by Zeus's sword.

"Stop it! I'm not a spy!" (Arvine)
"I will hurt you if you don't stop!" (Zeus)
"You will never hurt me!" (Zeus)
".....I'm sorry." (Arvine)

As Arvine said that, he merged with the Red Dragon, gaining his flame magics.
And with so, Arvine cast up pillars of flame to the ground.........

The King's Gem

As pillar of flame throws Zeus upward, his crown was flown to the air.
And when he landed, a large *bump* sound was heard.
Arvine, realized the crown was his weakness, quickly teleported to get the crown.
As Arvine grabs it, Zeus was enraged...

"No one touched my crown!" (Zeus)

Zeus, blistering with fury, grabbed his sword and charged his shield on Arvine.
Arvine, unready for it, simply grabbed the crown as a shield.
The shield bumps the crown, creating a huge noise.
Suddenly, the gem inside the crown fall out.

Arvine, realized he need to finish it quickly, merged with the Frost Dragon's soul.
He grabbed a frost hammer, and hit it on Zeus's hammer.
Zeus blocked the blow with his sword, breaking it into half.
And not just that, bumps appeared on Zeus's shield......
The armor, now are weakened, broke down, and Zeus was flown apart.
Zeus, realized that he lost, surrendered to Arvine.

"I lost, you win this round, spy." (Zeus)
"I'm not a spy, and here's your crown back." (Arvine)

*Throws the crown to Zeus

"Anyway, seems the Horde are approaching, we need to muster up defenses." (Arvine)
"Huh? You cared about me? I guess you're not the spy....." (Zeus)
"That's what I'm trying to FREAKING TELL YOU from before!" (Arvine)
"Hahahaha sorry bro, anyway, let us muster our defenses!" (Zeus)

Zeus quickly gives order to his catapults, while Arvine takes upon his station.
However, he feels a dejavu in this battle......

Division Leader Appears!

The battles raged on, and people are dying on the battlegrounds.
However, Zeus's side are outnumbered, and most of them are wounded.
Arvine realized that situation must be changed, quickly moved toward The Horde's regiment.
He evaded and teleported around the enemies, and then merged with the Dark Dragon's soul.
Then with a loud and mighty cry, he unleased the Howl of Terror to the enemies.

The Horde, listening to Arvine's scream, quickly closed their ears.
They're scared against the sound of it, and each time they hear it, their heart become unstable.
And at last, their morale are falling as some of them fainted to the grounds...
However, a single, large man, seemingly their general, quickly comes over Arvine.......

"You, you're Tenor!" (Arvine)
"I hate you Arvine, I hate you." (Tenor)
"You always ruined my fun, and our plan was ruined by you!" (Tenor)
"I was planning to beat the Atauromin, and when the kingdom of this island is united....." (Tenor)
"I will kill their leader, and took his space." (Tenor)
"It always like this Tenor, you and your evil plans!" (Tenor)
"I'm always like this, especially when I beat up your grandfather....." (Tenor)
"You're the leader of the army who ravaged my village!" (Arvine)
"I HATE. YOU." (Arvine)

With that, Arvine merged with all his Dragon's Soul, turning to Ultima Version.
He called Yin and Yang, his trusty companion.

"Yin! Move to the right and flank them! (Arvine)
"Yang! Move to the left and flank them! (Arvine)
"Roger!" (Yin and Yang)

Yin and Yang quickly move to the flank of the enemies.
And with that, they sliced and bombed the enemies.
Zeus's side, seeing that The Horde was decimated, quickly shouted in triumph.
They quickly rushed forward to beat remaining survivors.....

Traitor on the Heart

Arvine watched the battle raged on, while he turn his back to Tenor.....
Tenor, seeming already understood that he lost the battle, speaked up to Arvine.

"I always got a plan B."
"What? What's your plan B?" (Arvine)
"You think I will tell you? By the time you reached Zeus, you're too late!"

Tenor releases a smoke bomb. When the cloud dissipates, he was gone.
Arvine, realized he need to race back to Zeus, quickly run through the battlefield.
He moved through the army as fast as he could, and when he saw Zeus, he saw a person with a dagger on Zeus' back.
Arvine quickly merged with the Frost Dragon, and crafted himself a frost rifle.
He quickly shot the rifle to the person behind Zeus, his high-general.
The ice pellet promptly hit him on the head, blowing him back by several feets.

Zeus, looks confused, quickly turn back and saw his best friend's head was showered by pellets.
As Zeus see him closer, Arvine's shouted:

"No! He's the traitor!" (Arvine)
"He is? But he...." (Zeus)

Suddenly, the general raises his dagger again, but Arvine shot ice needles to him, tackling the dagger.
Zeus was shocked.

"But, you're my friend....." (Zeus)
"Zeus, I'm not your friend....." (General)
"I'm a traitor in heart...but I'm sorry." (General)
"......Goodbye, my friend." (Zeus)
"Rest in peace, traitor." (Arvine)

On the battlefield, Zeus's army successfully defeated The Horde.
However, Arvine, feels nauseatic, falls down on his ground.
"Not again..." (Arvine)

And everything went black.

Show Must Go On

Arvine wakes up in a bed in the treasury, as usual.
Zeus comes in, his breath smells of beer, and talked to him.

"Arvine, I'm sorry I doubted you. I suppose a brat like could be trusted." (Zeus)
"Old man, I've seen many hermits like you that suspect me." (Arvine)
"Anyway, the underground leader, Werrner was assassinated. His killer wasn't found." (Zeus)
"Just as I suspected." (Arvine)
"....Cocky brat. Well, I need a new general. Some guy who is honest, and loyal...." (Zeus)
"Try a new recruit called Zaim. He got the potential." (Arvine)

"Heh, well, do you want to live here?" (Zeus)
"Where?" (Arvine)
"Yup, here, in Atauromin, to be specific, in my kingdom, THE SILVER DRAGON." (Zeus)
"I could find a nice family to adopt you." (Zeus)
"That's kind of you, but no thanks." (Arvine)

Arvine gets up.

"I'm a fighter, not a lover." (Arvine)

And with that said, Arvine quickly gets out of the room, and goes to the docks.
Zeus watched him in intriguement.

"What an interesting child. Well, time to get back to work!" (Zeus)

Arvine, on the other hand, takes the boat back to the mainland.
He only thought for himself:

"Well, the show must go on......."

THE END~
