Cursed Convergence

1 Week After The Events Of Chapter 20 Jason Is Fully Recovered And Jason As Well As Aria Is Now Heading To A Secret Training Ground Where Jay And Melantha Are Waiting For Them.

Melantha(Serious): So What Type Of Training Are We Gonna Do?

Jay(Serious): Jason And Aria Are Going To Fight Against us And Test Their Teamwork Also Their Ability To Synchronize Their Abilities.

Jay: Plus We're Gonna Teach Them Some New Techniques.

Jay(Serious): And You Should Know About Aria's Heavenly Seals?

Melantha(Surprised): Heavenly Seals?

Melantha(Surprised): So Aria Is Athena's Daughter?

Jay: You Know About The Heavenly Seals?

Melantha: Yeah I've Heard Miss Siba's Stories About Them But I Didn't Think They Were Real.

Melantha(Intrigued): I Want To See Them In Action.

Aria And Jason Then Arrive To The Training Grounds And Meet With Jay And Melantha.

Jason(Curious): Mr Jay What Kind Of Training Are We Doing Today?

Jay(Serious): Me And Melantha Are Going To Have A Training Battle Against You Two And Test Your Ability To Synchronize Your Abilities And Combos.

Melantha(Mischievous): And Make Sure To Fight At Full Power, Don't Hold Anything Back.

Jay: We Want You Both To Activate Your Seals And Fight Against Us.

Aria(Confused): Are You Sure? I Mean If Both If Our Seals Are Active At The Same Time And We Combine Our Attacks Then Wouldn't That Be Dangerous?

Melantha(Playful): Don't Worry We're Also Gonna Fight At Full Power.

Jason: What The Hell? That's A Bit Overkill Don't'Cha Think? 

Jay(Serious): BEGIN!!!

Jay Then Manipulates The Gravity For Jason And Aria Which Causes Both Of Them To Drop To Their Knees As Jason And Aria Then Activates Their Seals And Get Back Up Melantha Then Performs A Hand Sign As Red Hexes Appear Around The Training Grounds That Nullify Jason And Aria's Powers However Jason And Aria Still Have Access To Some Of Their Powers That Come With Their Seals.

Jason(Comedic): C'mon That's Not Fair Now I Can't Use Some Of My Powers.

Aria: Didn't You Guys Tell Us To Fight At Full Power?

Aria: How Are We Supposed To Do That If Your Cancelling Out Power?

Melantha Then Throws Down A Smoke Bomb As The Entire Training Grounds Then Get Engulfed In Smoke Aria Then Activates Her Soul Sight Ability In Her Eyes To Try And Track Melantha's Soul Energy But She Can't See Her Soul Energy.

Jason(Confused): Where Is She Aria?

Aria(Confused): I Can't See Her?

Aria(Thinking): She Must Have The Ability To Hide Her Soul Energy And This Smoke Is Not Clearing Up, What Should We Do?

Jason Then Touches The Ground And Channels His Soul Energy To The Ground To Try And Create A Shockwave But That Proves To Be Ineffective Melantha Then Fires A Surge Of Dark Energy Out From The Smoke That Disoriented Jason And Aria As Melantha Swiftly Appears Behind Aria And Kicks Her In The Back Sending Her Flying.

Aria(Grumbling): Damnit… That Was Fast.

Jason(Analyzing): She's Quick, We Need To Stay On Guard.

Meanwhile, Jay Standing On The Other Side Of The Field, Activates His Altered Reality, Creating Illusions And Distorting Perception.

Jay(Serious): Let's See You Handle This!

Aria(Confused): What's Happening? I Can't See Clearly!

Jay(Chuckles): Welcome To My World. Your Perception Is Being Manipulated.

Melantha(Rushing In): C'mon Jason And Aria Show Us What You've Got!!!

Aria Uses Her Heavenly Seals To Enhance Her Senses, As She Detects Melantha And Grabs Her By Her Head And Charges Up Her Divine Punishment Technique As Lightning Strikes Down From The Heavenly Realm And Hits Melantha.

Melantha(Injured): Damn Kid, Nice Technique!

Jason(Focused): We Need To Coordinate Better, Aria. 

Aria(Focused): Got It.

Jay Then Rushes Toward Jason And Attempts To Strike Him From The Smoke As He Then Hits Jason With A Powerful Punch As Jason Then Phases Through It Which Catches Jay Off Guard.

Jay(Confused): Huh? Since When Could He Phase Through Things? Must Be A New Ability.

Aria Then Teleports Next To Jason Who Is Behind Jay As Jason Holds Out His Hand And Aria Puts Her Hand Underneath His, Then Jason Charges Up A Mini Black Hole In His Hand And Aria Performs Her Searing Halo Technique Which The Halo Forms Around The Black Hole  Then The Heavenly Flames That Form Around The Searing Halo Forms Around The Black Hole As Black And White Lightning Strikes The Ground And A Loud Screeching Noise Rings Around The New Combo Technique.

Jay(Proud): They've Done It! They Combined Their Technique's.

Jason And Aria Then Hit Jay With The New Technique As This Causes Jay To Cough Up Blood And Causes A Massive Surge Of Wind To Blow Away All Of The Smoke As Well As Destroys The Ground Beneath Them And The Gravitational Pressure Around The Technique Causes The Trees Around Them To Disintegrate.

Then We See Jason And Aria On Their Knees Breathing Heavily After Using Half Of Their Energy To Perform Their New Combination Technique.

Jason:(Breathing Heavily)

Aria:(Breathing Heavily)

Jason(Fatigued): That Took Up Almost All Of My Energy Heh Heh.

Aria(Fatigued): Same.

We Then See Jay Who Is On The Ground Heavily Wounded.

Jay(Injured): Goddamn You Two, I Almost Died.

Melantha(Playful): Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, Damn J What's Goin On?

Jay: Shut Up.

Melantha(Playful): Oh Relax You'll Be Alright. You Can Still Regenerate Right?

Jay(Laughing): Yeah!

Jay Then Regenerates His Wounded Organs And Heals His Body As Him And Melantha Talk To Jason And Aria About The Technique They Just Performed.

Melantha: Damn You Two, Helluva Technique That Was So Cool.

Melantha(Playful): Oh We Gotta Make A Name For It.

Jason&Aria: Any Suggestions?

Melantha: How About Celestial Cataclysm?

Jason&Aria: I Like That.

Jason Deactivates The Cursed Seals As Aria Also Deactivates Her Heavenly Seals.

Jay: Okay Now On To Stage 2 Of Training Which Is Teaching You Two Some New Techniques.

Melantha(Playful): Alright Aria I Will Train You To Learn My Techniques.

Jay: And Jason I Will Personally Train You To Teach You My Techniques.

Jay: As Well We Will Both Teach You Guys How To Perform The Reality Warping Technique.

Jason&Aria(Excited): Really???

Jay: Of Course, Every High Ranking Sorcerer Has Their Own Unique Reality Warping As Aria You Saw Mine When I Battled The Figure.

Jay: And Jason You Saw Selene Use Hers On You.

Aria: So Miss Melantha Can You Perform The Reality Warping Technique?

Melantha(Mischievous): Hell Yeah, Although My False Reality Is A Secret And I Can't Use It While Comrades Are Around.

Jason(Curious): Now I Really Wanna Know What Yours Is.

Jay: Anyways Reality Warping Is An Advanced Technique, But With Your Potential I Believe You Both Can Master It.

Melantha(Mischievous): Think Of It As Bending The Rules Of The World, You Can Make The Impossible Possible, Within Limits, Of Course.

Jason(Curious): So, What's The First Step?

Jay(Serious): First, You Need To Understand That Reality Warping Requires Intense Focus And Connection With Your Soul Energy. It's About Bending Reality To Your Will.

Aria(Focused): Sounds Challenging.

Melantha(Playful): It's Like Painting Your Own Canvas In The Realm Of Existence.

Melantha: Your False Reality Will Be Unique To The True Nature Of Your Soul.

Jay: Now Jason Try And Visualize A Small Change In Your Surroundings.

Jason Then Closes His Eyes While The Group Get Silent As Jason Then Focuses As Seconds Later Flowers Around Them Turn Black And Die.

Jay: Good, Your Getting The Hang Of It Jason, Now Aria You Try.

Aria Then Sits And Closes Her Eyes As She Then Creates A Star.

Melantha(Playful): Nice For A Beginner.

Jason(Fascinated): Cool.

Aria Then Destroys The Star.

Melantha: Keep Up With Your Training And Eventually You Will Be Able To Manipulate Reality On A Full Scale.

As The Group Then Ends Their Training Session We Then Cut To Selene At The Underground Demon Hideout With An Eerie Atmosphere And The Lights Are Dim With Torches Lit On The Walls As Well As Ancient Runes And Prophecies Written On Stone Tablets As She Is To Meet With The Leader… But She Is Then Stopped By Some Low Ranking Demons.

Demon #1 (Creepily): Hey There Sexy, Why Don't You Come Over Here With Me And I'll Show You A Good Time.

Selene(Disgusted): Not Interested.

Demon #1: C'mon Baby Don't Be So Cold, I'm Just Trying To Have Some Fun.

Selene(Serious): Get Out Of My Way.

Selene Then Walks Past Him As She Then Walks Past Two More Low Ranking Demons Who Are Talking About Jason And The Leaders Future Plans With Him.

Demon #2: I Heard She Is Related To Lord Malum's Vessel.

Demon #3: Yeah, Just Wait Till We Get Our Hands On The Vessel.

Selene Then Turns Around As The Room Gets Silent And Gazes At The Two Demons And The Demons Then Start Coughing Up Blood As Selene Is Staring At Them The Demons Then Start Feeling Blood Rushing To Their Brains.

Selene(Menacingly): You Two Better Watch Your Mouths Around Me, If You Go Anywhere Near Jason I Won't Hesitate To Kill You.

Selene Then Releases Her Blood Manipulation As The Two Demons Fall To Their Knees Terrified Of Selene.

Meanwhile Selene Then Walks Into A Different Wide-Space Secret Meeting Room Where She Is Met By The Demon Leader Who Was Awaiting Her Arrival.

Demon Leader(Menacing): My Dear Selene, How May I Help You?

Selene Then Bows Down On One Of Her Knees And She Then Also Lowers Her Head To Ask The Lead Demon A Question.

Selene: If I May Ask Sir, What Is Your Goal For When Malum Is Fully Revived?

Demon Leader(Ominously): Before I Answer That Question I Have One For You Selene And Answer It Honestly.

Selene(Tense): O- Of Course Sir!

Demon Leader(Menacingly): Why Didn't You Kill The Vessel And Bring Him To Me When You Had The Chance?

Demon Leader(Menacingly): Could It Be Because You Still Have A Spot Left In Your Heart For Your Little Brother?

Selene(Calm): No Sir It's Just That, Before I Am Able To Kill The Vessel We First Should Focus On The Grand Elder As Well As The Other High Ranking Sorcerers.

Demon Leader(Ominously): And Why Is That?

Selene(Tense): Because If I Keep Going After The Vessel Then The Grand Elder As Well As The Other High Ranking Sorcerers Will Be Keeping A Watchful Eye On Him.

Selene(Tense): Especially After My Fight Against Jason And Malum, They Now Know I Am A Traitor And Have Aligned Myself With This Organization.

Selene(Tense): So Now The Elder Sorcerer Will Be Having Other High Ranking Sorcerers Keeping Watch On Jason Incase I Attack Him Again.

Demon Leader(Menacingly): Hmmm, That Would Be A Problem.

Selene: As Well They Now Have A New Ally That They Have Hired To Kill Me.

Selene: The One Known As Melantha.

Demon Leader(Surprised): Melantha?

Selene: You Know Her?

Demon Leader(Ominous): Yeah, She's Naoki's Brat.

Demon Leader: Her Mother Spoke To The All See'r To Eradicate Us And Save Her Daughter.

Selene(Confused): The All See'r?

Selene(Confused): You Mean The Watcher Of The Creator Of The Universe And Magic?

Selene(Confused): But She's A Myth Isn't She?

Demon Leader(Ominous): No… She Who Is Known As The Originator Of Magic Who Also Created The Universe And Constructed All The 4 Realms Is Very Real.

The Demon Leader Then Walks Up To A Stone Wall That Is Covered Up As The Demon Leader Then Uncovers It And It Shows A Mythical Goddess Being Worshipped By Angels And Also Shows An Eye Known As The Eye Of Eternity A Symbol That Represents Her Being Able To See All Events Of The Universe And The Different Realms.

Demon Leader(Ominous): The All See'r Is A Mythical Goddess Of Divine Energy Who Has Ascended Past Godhood And Has Transcended To The Heavenly Realm Where She Is So Powerful That She Does Not Require A Physical Body.

Demon Leader(Ominous): Naoki Out Of Desperation For Her Daughters Safety Prayed To The All See'r To Eradicate All Demons.

Selene(Curious): If She Was So Powerful Why Didn't She Just Wipe Out All Demons?

Demon Leader(Ominous): Because Lord Malum Had Went Toe-To-Toe Against The All See'r In Battle, However He Couldn't Defeat Her So He Managed To Seal Her Away In The Heavenly Realm. She Can Still Observe The Events Going On In All The Realms.

Demon Leader(Ominous): But Her Absolute Power Is Limited To The Heavenly Realm.

Selene: So That's Why She Couldn't Eradicate All Demons?

Demon Leader: Exactly. But Her Eternal Eye Has Kept Us In Check. It's Rare For People To Mention Her, Especially A Human.

Selene: And What Of Melantha?

Demon Leader(Ominous): She Is The Daughter Of Naoki And Apart Of A Clan That Has Lineage To The All See'r. And Because Of That Lineage She Has Some Unique Abilities.

Selene(Curious): What Kind Of Abilities?

Demon Leader(Ominous): That's Not Your Concern Right Now, Your Focus Should Be On Your Mission.

Selene: Yes Sir.

Demon Leader: Find Out What You Can About Melantha And When The Opportunity Arises Eliminate Her.

Demon Leader(Ominously): And Don't Underestimate Her, Her Abilities Are Unknown And Her Fighting Style Is Cunning.

Demon Leader(Ominously): Never And I Mean Never Let Your Guard Down Around Melantha.

Selene: Yes Sir!

Selene Then Leaves The Room As She Then Thinks About The Information She Had Just Received, Meanwhile We Cut To Melantha Who Is At A Graveyard Sitting At A Grave.

Melantha: Hey Mom, I'm So Close To Finding The Moros.

Melantha: When I Find Him He Will Face Punishment For What He's Put Our Clan Through.

Melantha Then Puts Some Flowers Down On The Tombstone As She Then Walks Off And It Starts Raining And Thundering And Melantha Then Pulls Down Her Mask.
