In the farthest corner of Masteria, in the Crismon Wood Mountains, Zaylo, ruler of the Crismon Wood Castle was staring into a crystal ball. He saw all of the Maple World, but no sign or trace of any Questers.
“Where the heck are they,” Zaylo thought.
Then the door opened, and Chobbi stepped in and bowed.
“Lord Zaylo, there are no signs of the Questers anywhere,” Chobbi reported.
“I am quite aware of that,” Zaylo answered.
Chobbi fidgeted a bit then asked, “What should we do?”
“We will continue our plans regarding the Sanctuary of Light,” Zaylo responded, “I am pretty sure the Questers will show themselves again.”
Chobbi stood for a moment, then left, in deep thought. Zaylo, stood up, picked up his Crismon Arcglaive and started for Ellinia.

Back in the Time Sphere…
Poe, Miki, Jona, and Brandon walked up to Kite with smiles on their faces. They had just taken down over 200+ holograms. Proud of themselves, they walked up to Pike expecting a compliment of some sort, but what they got was totally unexpected.
WHOOOOOOOSSSHHHHHHHHH
A figure landed behind them, leaving a small crater. Poe, always alert had a meteor inches from the newcomer’s face.
“Whooaaaaaaaa there,” said the newcomer, “don’t go around chucking meteors at people.”
Poe put the meteor away, and asked, “Who the heck are you?”
“My name is Dra-,”
The figure was stopped by Brandon, who shouted, “OMGNOWAY, Draco????”
“Sup,” Draco replied, smiling at Brandon’s obnoxious behavior.
“So you’re the one that helped save us?” asked Poe.
“Yes.”
“Well, since we all know each other, lets begin the final test,” interrupted Kite.
“Wait, we have to fight him???” asked Poe.
“Yup,” said Draco with a smug smile.
“I will go first then,” said Poe.
Before they began, Kite mentioned one more thing.
“You can’t get hurt here, it is only a illusion, so go at each other with the intent to kill.”
Poe, Miki, Brandon, and Jona looked at each other. Kite jumped back and sat down on a chair that appeared out of no where. Draco jumps onto a platform that overlooked the battle field. Poe took 5 steps forward, and drew his spear. Poe held the spear point forward in a crane stance, and looked at Draco. Draco looked back, then disappeared from view. Poe calmly closed his eyes and imagined where Draco was. Poe imagined Draco underneath him, then Poe took 1 step back just as Draco’s uppercut narrowly missed Poe’s chin. Poe swings his spear butt end at Draco’s feet, attempting to knock him down, but Draco caught the butt end with his Reverse Equinox. Draco then flipped Poe’s spear upward out of Poe’s hand, and it spun 3 times before hitting the ground 10 yards away. Draco took the opportunity and smashed Poe across the room away from his spear. Draco sped up and rushed toward Poe while his body was still in the air.
“Damn it,” said Poe.
Draco rushed up on Poe and launched a barrage of attacks.
-Low Kick, Uppercut, Round House, Super Uppercut-
Then while Poe was still in the air from the Super Uppercut, Draco launched a Drop Kick and slammed Poe into the ground.
Jona grimaced when Poe hit the ground. Brandon got up, about to go rescue Poe, but Kite stopped him.
“This is Poe’s fight Brandon,” said Kite, “just watch.”
Brandon sat back down looking distressed.
Draco on the other hand was having tons of fun. He jumped back from the crater he made with his Drop Kick and waited for Poe to get up. Poe slowly crawled to his feet, and thought, “I have to use my powers if I want to win.”
Draco saw the defiance in Poe’s eyes and nodded in approval. Draco then threw himself forward, and hit Poe with a straight punch. The hand stayed there for a second then…
“OWWWWWWWW,” cried Draco, pulling back his hands.
Draco heard a sound of a spear and jumped just in time, narrowly escaping being impaled. Poe had dreamed of a substitute made of titanium, and had dreamed his spear back.
“So Poe is getting serious huh,” thought Draco, “then I better be serious too.”
Draco used Super Transform, and at lightning speed, threw a corkscrew punch at Poe. Poe got thrown back by the force, but a meteor was already following Draco’s path.
“Hehehe, Draco can’t dodge the meteor in mid air,” Poe thought.
Draco heard the meteor, then turned around a smashed the meteor into pieces. That was exactly what Poe wanted. With Draco’s back turned, Poe charged up his Stormcasters and ran electricity through his spear and threw it at Draco. Draco saw it in the corner of his eye, and started to turn around but was a bit too late. The spear hit his shoulder, and if he did not have Super Transform, his shoulder might have been torn off.
Draco was stunned by the electricity, and Poe took the chance and came up to Draco yelling…
“FALCON PUNCH!”
Poe slammed Draco into the ground with tremendous force. The whole place shook and platforms came falling down. Poe was on top of Draco holding him down as Draco tried to get up.
“You are going down with me,” yelled Poe.
Poe suddenly turned into super glue. Then a huge beam of light came from above and smites Draco, smashing him into bits.
Poe stood back, out of breath.
The battle field disappeared and Draco walked up to Poe. Draco had Poe’s spear in his hand.
“Good job my man; very few people have been able to keep up with me,” said Draco as he handed Poe’s spear back to Poe.
“Thanks,” said Poe, “but you weren’t using your full powers, so I clearly am no match for you.”
“Well, you weren’t using your full powers either Poe,” said Draco with a smile.
Kite walked up to Poe and pats him on the back.
“You did good Poe,” said Kite with a smile, “one of the best fights I have seen.”
Miki, Jona, and Brandon ran over to Poe and congratulated him for doing well. Brandon then walked up to Draco and said, “Looks like it is my turn now.”
“I don’t know, you don’t look too powerful,” said challenged Draco.
“Oh ya? Bring it,” said Brandon drawing his dagger.
To be continued…
