Chapter 3 - Spicy Treat @ 8:55 PM

"I have..." Kitsune was about to finish her sentence when they were interrupted by loud screams that came from the north of Paradise. The ground also started shaking, as though an earthquake as occured.

They all ran towards Beach Field 5 when they saw a huge figure at the horizon. Many people were running away from the figure, screaming. Being curious, Chio wanted to approach the giant figure, but was held back by Aurora and Radiant. But out of nowhere, a Mercenary dashed out, pulling his sword from it's shealth. The figure kept advancing towards Paradise. Did that Mercenary fall to that... Thing...?

Few minutes later, they all noticed the Mercenary limping back. He mumbled, under his breath, before toppling to the ground. " Spi...cy-"

Radiant and Aurora immediatly started healing him.

"I'll bring him to town and take care of him." Radiant told Chio and Aurora. " See if you help the people running here, and possibly hold it back. From what he said, i think it's a Spicy Dragon."

"Spicy Dragon?!" Chio, Aurora and Kitsune shouted.

"I thought Spicy Dragons where only exclusive at Tapasco areas, and are also extremely rare?" Aurora asked, frantically. "How did it get here?"

"We have to investigate this, but for now, the safety of everyone comes first."

"Alright!" Chio said. "Lets go, Aurora. Will you be coming, Kitsu-?"

Kitsune has disappeared. But where she was, layed the Blood sword, possibly the one Chio had obtained from the Count Blood. Did she lose in the Boss Seals tally, or did she just dropped it? Chio didn't think that much, and just picked it up. The moment Chio wielded the sword, she felt a strong power surging through her. But it wasn't compounded with any attribute, so Chio decided to keep it for another time.

Chio and Aurora hence ran to the front, to aid some of the injured people, and to join the frontline battle to stop the beast. But wait! The Spicy Dragon looked different. Giant wings, and the horns were bigger and glowing. Also, it seems to be twice... or thrice in size! A different breed? It was taking down fighters one by one, without breaking a sweat. One breath of fire could wipe out an area as big as a football field. However, 2 of the fighters seems to be doing well.
As the Spicy Dragon blew fire, the... Champion, having quick reflexes was able to use Dash to escape the area, but impressively, was able to help another Soul Master out of the predicament as well. The Dragon flinches for a split second, they took their chance and attack. Flash Cut, Uppercut, Arrow and Pheonix Rising were a great combination. It goes to show how much teamwork the two had in them. Even when they were unable to escape, the Champion was able to use Guard to protect herself and the Soul Master at the same time. A perfect combination.

Chio and Aurora ran up towards them.

"We are here to help prevent this beast from reaching the town." Aurora said. "Is there anything in particular we could do?"

"You, the Duelist." the Champion said. "Can you use Dash? If you can, bring your Soul Master friend and go around to it's back and attack it, and fight like how we are doing, but watch the tail. If not, just stay back."

"Alright, fine," Chio replied. "What's your na-"

"No time for introductions now!" the Champion snapped back. "Go!"

Chio then brought Aurora to the back to attack it. Being already tired from collecting Boss seals none stop, Chio decided to keep her distance.

"Piercing Wave!"

"Dragon Storm!"

After a volley of attacks, the Spicy Dragon only staggered a little. It would seem that whatever they are doing doesn't seem to be working. Suddenly, out of nowhere...

"Shadow!"

Clones appeared all around the Spicy Dragon, and they all attacked it once, to a big attack. It seemed to deal more damage. The Spicy Dragon seemed weaker. But the fight is long from over.

"Here to aid." the Gladiator said. "Let's go!"

After a giant volley of attacks, The Spicy dragon still hasn't fall! The fighters know they have to act fast. The Spicy Dragon is still advancing towards Paradise. The people of Paradise waits, wishing it will not reach. All hopes were pinned on the few fighters left.

"You're a Duelist, right?" the Gladiator asked Chio.

"Yeah."

"Good. Use Dash, and go up onto the Spicy Dragon. Bring me up as well. I've got a plan."
The Gladiator told Chio what to do, and told Aurora to stay behind as it could get dangerous. As soon as Aurora backed off, Chio executed Dash, and brought the Gladiator up, and stopped right on it's head.

"Keep your balance, Duelist! Now, do it!"

"Inferno Blade!" Chio and the Gladiator shouted.

Swords of fire appeared above the Spicy Dragon, drops down at hit it, dealing huge amout of damge at once. This attack made it fall to it's knees in pain. It seems the Spicy Dragon is reaching it's limit. However, Chio, the Gladiator and the Champion were already panting. They were all tired. Chio pulled the Blood sword out of her shealth and throw it to Aurora.

"Aurora! Catch! It also give a huge amount of Magic power as well. Use it to finish the Dragon off."

Aurora caught th sword, ran over to the other Soul Master and show the sword to her. She nodded her head, and held the sword in her hands. They started chanting their incantation.
Right before the Spicy Dragon recovered...

"Arrow Rush!" the two Soul Master shouted together.

14 arrows, with a high concentration of Magic power flew out and hit the Dragon hard, right in his chest, as Chio and the Gladiator jumped off it's head. due to the power of the Blood Sword, the arrow dealt more damage then usual, defeating the Spicy Dragon. The Spicy Dragon then just fell to the ground motionless. They've won! They all cheered, along with the people within Paradise. The fighters then gathered around the two Soul Masters.

"Well done. I've underestimated your power, Duelist." The Champion said. "What's your name? And your name, Soul Master?"

"Chio. ChioBuneary. That's my close friend, Aurora. AuroraAngel."

"Nice to meet you. My name is Liange. That's my sister, Bakaeep. I look forward to seeing you in action again."

"Me me! I'm HornedBull." the Gladiator said excitedly.

Just as they were going to celebrate, the sky turned dark. Thunder was heard. Whirlpools were seen in the lakes around the fields. Then a figure from the sky appeared, floating in the sky. A human? No... What is that...?

"Don't rejoice, humans!" A voice boomed from the figure.

The figure became clearer. A human! He young man, but what's going on?

"Who are you?!" Chio shouted.

"My name is Karan! I'm the one who sent this Spicy Dragon on a rampage. I'm the one who made these monsters different, stronger! To be called Bosses! But... they were all defeated by you, mere human beings! That Spicy Dragon was my latest creation. The Spicy MK II! To be defeated by the five of you... It must mean you are strong. But you aren't strong enough to defeat me yet. The rampage will continue. Await my challenge, humans! Muahahaha!"

With that, Karan disappeared. The whirlpools subsided and the sky cleared. Even the body of the Spicy Dragon disappeared. What's going to happen now?
