Inf: Hello everybody! sorry for the delay, i have been updating my profile regarding my wonderful OC's. check it out okay?

I dont wanna waste anymore time since i waited so long so lets begin!

Sencho trudged along the plain green grass within the White Misty Swamp, following Banthus' tracks. He very much knew that he wasn't in any shape to keep going, exhausted and injured as he is. A duelist like himself shouldn't be reckless like this and use up all his strength in one go. But it wasn't as if Sencho had enough common sense to even care anyway. To him, it seemed appropriate at the very least. One would wonder who taught him to be so uncaring over his own safety.

Sencho felt the El's energy stop moving. It would appear that Banthus had ceased running for whatever reason, the only question is why. Regardless of the reason he had to press through and get back the El. Who knows what kind of catastrophic affect the loss of the El will do to the wildlife here in the forest. It might even endanger the villagers of Ruben. When Sencho arrived, Banthus was talking to one of his lackey's, still with El in hand too.

"Sir! The El Search Party are closing in on us!" warned the lackey bandit.

"Those pesky kids? Mmm.." Banthus thought for a while before waving his big hands in a menacing way "We have to complete our mission at all cost! Tell everyone in the area block the party as I escape into Elder."

"Yes sir!"

The lackey ran off to tell his comrades the order, disappearing long out of Sencho's sight. Now that it was just him and Banthus, he thought that it would be the perfect time to stop the bandit before he escapes to Elder. Although not in the best condition, it was easy to tell that Sencho's skills far exceeds Banthus'.

"Banthus." Sencho made himself known to the bandit. "I can not allow you to steal the El and take it to Elder. Please give up peacefully."

"Gah? You actually up and followed me?" Said a shocked Banthus. "Ah it doesn't matter, you can't stop me anyway twerp."

"...and why is that?"

Banthus' smile grew wider as he started walking backwards. As if on cue, the ground started shaking and it only grew more in frequency as time went on. It wasn't after Sencho saw tree's falling in the distance that he knew he was in danger. A giant beast of purple and white burst through the tree's and charged directly at Sencho, who narrowly dodged the horn on it's head. The beast looked like a Phoru, except it was unimaginably taller and skinnier. The Phoru's typical rat-like features were absent in this beat and it had purple fur that surrounded it's arms and what seemed like golden scales on it's head, chest, shoulders and legs. It's claws were enormous and the horn on it's head looked like it could sweet the entire area around it if it wanted to. Sencho caught a glimpse at it's glowing green eyes and instantly knew what this creature was.

"An Ancient Phoru.." Sencho said, unable to hide his awe.

"Gwahaha! That's right! This thing is under my control! Now, dispose of him beast!" Banthus commanded. The Ancient Phoru growled lowly and simply stared at the young adventurer despite Banthus' orders. It seemed to be inspecting him for some reason. Banthus who was losing his patience called out to the Phoru once again.

"What's wrong you stupid beast! I said attack!"

Banthus held up the El, catching the Phoru's attention and turning it's body towards the thief. Almost as if the Phoru was reacting to the El's presence, it roared loudly and fell on all fours. Sencho felt extremely uneasy. That wasn't a normal roar. It was a roar full of anger and obvious murderous intent. The Ancient Phoru raised it's claws, preparing to strike at the thief who stole the El. If Sencho do nothing, Banthus would surely die. Acting quickly, he pushed Banthus out of the way and swung his sword with his only usable hand to try and stop the Phoru's attack. Being as injured and exhausted as he was, it was obvious that he could not stand up to the Phoru's attack. The brute force of it's claws propelled Sencho backwards, sending him through several tree's before hitting the ground. Sencho's clothes were teared and he was bleeding from various parts of his body, but still he stood up and aimed his sword. Though it didn't surprise him to find that the Phoru was heading straight for Banthus, in which the latter was running away. Sencho chased the two who went deeper into the swamp. The Phoru seemed to be mostly preserving it's energy as it is not charging at Banthus the way it did when it first appeared. Banthus wasn't that fast to begin with so it felt no need to waste it's energy chasing him seriously. Once the Phoru was within range, it swiped at him with it's claws, only to meet it with nothing but air. Banthus is surprisingly good at getting out of danger and out of trouble. But now Banthus was on the floor and the Ancient Phoru was fast, he'll never be able to get up quick enough to dodge another attack. With no other choice and the Phoru preparing to swipe its claws again, Sencho jumped high into the air and used gravity to strengthen the force of his downward punch as he plummeted straight onto the Ancient Phoru's head, causing it to fall from the impact.

Banthus took this chance to run even further into the swamp, causing irritation to both Sencho and the Ancient Phoru. Sencho jumped off the Phoru's head as it was getting up and bellowed in anguish and anger.

"..You're angry..aren't you? That the El was stolen.."

Sencho, who was distracted by the beasts clear rage, was hit by the Phoru's large tail. The force of the impact sent him straight past Banthus and onto a lush green clearing with a platform that has little barricades at the edge for some reason. Sencho couldn't see much as his vision began to fade.

And all went black
