Chapter V

Shadow created a huge ball of darkness above the base and exploded it, signalling for the heaven's three to regroup. Shadow then quickly dashed towards the meeting point.

Tien noticed the explosion and left the unconcious Zes alone. Having heal him, Tien knew that he would survive. Tien then dashed off. Meanwhile, Virgil had already noticed how the gates unhinged itself. He was know on his way to the meeting point, right under the dark explosion.

Virgil arrived, and saw that Shadow was already there. "Shadow! Who caused the gates to fly? Tien?" Shadow turned and looked at Virgil, shaking his head silently. "It's someone worse. It's him." Virgil immediately gasped. "It's raining, he'll be even more powerful." Shadow once again shook his head. "As long as there is water vapor in the air, he will be able to use his water magic." Suddenly, Tien landed in the middle of Shadow and Virgil, smiling sheepishly. "Hi!" Tien said joyfully. They started to kick Tien. "What did i do?" Tien protested as he blocked their kicks. "This is no time to play, Tien! He is... Wait, is it just me or has it suddenly just stopped raining?" Virgil said and quickly looked up.

The old man was hovering above them, looking at them solemly. The falling rain had collected into a huge sphere of water. The old man snapped his fingers and the sphere formed into a dragon. "Hello... Did u miss ur mentor?" The old man said.

"This is bad! Virgil, Tien! Run!" Shadow shouted, pulling his gaze away from the dragon and looking at his brother. "Wait... Where is Tien?" Shadow asked. Virgil looked around and managed to catch a glimse of white light trailing at a far corner. "He just ran." Virgil said. "Well... we should too." Shadow said. Looking at the water dragon curling itself around the old man. "Virgil. Virgil?" Shadow pulled away his gaze once more and saw Virgil's cloak disappear at the far corner. "They... ran and left me alone." Shadow said, his expression of sheer horror. He turn and saw that only the dragon was left above. He turned and saw the old man beside him grinning. "Hi?" Shadow said in a fearful tone.

Virgil was running fast when a huge explosion erupt at the spot Shadow was. He paused for a moment and turned. "Shadow... mentor really is mad." Virgil muttered. He turned and a teapot flew straight into his face, forcing him off his feet and he flew from the impact to a far away wall.
The teapot leavitated and the old man suddenly appeared. The teapot then neatly positioned itself on top of the old man's staff. The old man looked at the now unconsious Virgil and smiled. The old man grabbed Virgil and disappeared along with him.

Tien had already reached the entrance. "Well. I'm getting out of this place. I hope my brothers made it too." He said and he paused to look back at the place the explosion erupted. "Mentor wouldn't kill Shadow or Virgil. He'll torture them. Lucky I ran fast enough not to be caught." He turned and prepared to run when the water dragon plowed straight into him from above, a huge explosion of water followed. Tien laid underwater in the crater as he felt himself losing consiousness. Then someone pulled him out of the water. Guess i'm caught too. Tien thought before he fainted.

"Sir! Someone appeared and took care of the Heaven's Three." An elder reported to Narius. "A person appeared and took care of three Low Class 2 Wizards? Did you get a reading on his magical power?" narius questioned. "Yes, sir. The person magical aura reads between a low class 1 and a high class 2." He is so much more powerful than me. Narius gasped thinking about the new intruder in his base. "I hope he is on our side." Narius whispered to himself, fearing for the worse.

The old man sat on his levitating staff and was drinking tea from a beautiful gold cup. He was looking at the unconsious Heaven's Three. "Well... I have to admit, they are getting stronger." He said, chuckling to himself as he sipped his tea. "Blasted rain. Disturbing my enjoyment of my tea." The old man waved his hand and the rain stopped. "Much better." The old man then continued to sip his tea silently.
