The Atlantean Compensator

"A TIIIEEE???" . Galahad asks loudly .

"What do you mean by a tie? There is no such thing as a tie in battles!

You just said it continues until one of us surrenders!!"

Alkeyder . "And now i say it is a tie, Galahad .

We don"t want this place destroyed because of you . Sahaqiel can retrain himself but once you unleash your powers I don"t know who would want to stop you . "

Galahad looks annoyed .

"UUUGGHHHH!!!! It"s been a lot since i enjoyed something this much . . .

But alright, as you say Sir Alkeyder . "

Herald thought to himself . " . . . They must be much stronger than this, for Alkeyder to say such thing as that . . . "

Beazly . "A tie! I was really excited to see what extent they can reach . . . "

Ayla . "No that"s scary, I am glad Master Alkeyder stopped it as this .

And both teams benifit so it"s all good!"

Joshou was in fact the one who wanted it to continue the most . Galahad never used Excalibur against him . He wished to see his main sword!

Sahaqiel and Galahad stood next to one another, and shook their hands like real men would .

Galahad showed his gratt.i.tude towards his friend, and the latter replied with a sweet smile on his lightning face .

Heracles did not say anything, he seemed to have agreed on Alkeyder"s decision .

Galahad returned to stand next to his teamnates, who they all showed him respect and complimented his powers .

He didn"t want to show that he was flattered but he certainly liked showing off in front of them .

Sahaqiel is back being the judge, and annouced the next compet.i.tors .

They were . . .

Alkeyder Versus Oumad!

Herald had very mixed feelings going into this one, his best friend and his master, who"s in his same team .

But again, this is just for fun and to review the 7 Atlantean"s powers .

It will be good for Oumad going against the Great Alchemist!

Heracles tells him . "Stay composed, no matter who"s ur opponent you have a chance .

He"s not invincible, and he won"t be going all in either .

Try to have your best shot as early as you can . "

Oumad . "Got it!"

Alkeyder tells his team . "I wanted to fight against that bold head but now it"s up to one of you to take him . Wish me luck, I might lose this one Hhahahhaahah!"

Herald didn"t know whether his master was ironic or not!

But it"s true that now someone will have to face Heracles and what a pain in the a.s.s that is going to be . . .

Then both take their places in the Arena .

Alkeyder . "It is time to put what you"ve learnt to it"s maximum application Mr Oumad .

I am looking forward to see that . "

Oumad . "I will do my best not to disappoint you . "

Sahaqiel . "1 . . 2 . . . 3 . . . Fight!"

They squared off some meters away from each other, and none of them made a fast move . .

Until suddenly, Oumad disappeared!

He teleported himself!

Everybody was waiting when will he appear again, and where?

He took his time . . and the suspense rised with it .

THERE HE APPEARS! Right behind Alkeyder, trying to make him fall off .

Alkeyder dodges him in a nonechalant manner, and pushes Oumad away from his back .

A push that threw him away meters away, luckily he was able to keep up his balance and land on his feet .

Herald said calmly . " . . Attacks like this are of no use against Alkeyder, or any of the masters .

He should know this already . "

Sebastin . "Yeah, especially that Oumad does not have a high physical power compared to them . "

Again, Oumad teleports himself again and waits in his s.p.a.ce-time realm . . .

Alkeyder does nothing but waiting . .

But this time it was different, Oumad appears for a fraction of a second and takes away Alkeyder with him! To his realm!!

The Arena had no one on it anymore, and everybody was left speechless!

Ayla . " . . . What happened??

Where are they???"

Heracles himself was shocked, it looks obvious on his eyes and raised eyebrows .

" . . . I did not think he could do that already!"

Oumad has teleported Alkeyder with him, from trying to teleport rocks to now doing it with human beings! It is a huge leap in a little time . .

Herald also suspected that this is the explanation . he said .

" . . . Similar to Guiado, he could also teleport us through time and s.p.a.ce, I think Oumad has teached himself how to do so!!!"

Sebastin . "Is that so . . . Then he must be having total control over Alkeyder in there!!"

The truth is, Alkeyder was indeed held strongly by the chain of time and s.p.a.ce, although he looked quite careless!

"Excellent! You"ve been working on your teleportation technics as well!

I have to say that I am proud . . . But what else will you do now?"

Oumad . "Well the easiest thing to do now is to search for an alternative line in which i have you falling into the ground . "

Alkeyder . "Hmmmm Alright, I"ll wait!"

Oumad . "Wait for what Master? I"ve already found it!"

Alkeyder smiles . "I meant I"ll wait for you to make me fall . "

Then, again with a nonechalant manner, Alkeyder broke off of Oumad"s realm . The chains no more held on to him and he could freely move now .

"I am afraid to say that your powers aren"t only bound to you . I have been moving in the realm of time and s.p.a.ce for more than 2000 years . "

Oumad looks shocked . "Two thousa . . . nd years!!!?? What do you mean by that???

Are you immortal??"

Alkeyder . "No such thing as that, Only the creator is .

But you can say am a long lasting soul . . . I"ll explain it later on but now . . .

Alkeyder shatters the realm into pieces, making them all back into the Arena .

Beazly shouts . "HERE THEY ARE"

Sebastin . " . . . It looks like just before, nothing happened???"

Joshou spots something unusual in the arena . .

"Is that . . . . "

The situation was weird for the spectators, Until Galahad spoke and explained to them that just as Oumad and Guiado, Alkeyder also has the ability to go in between the realms!

So he nullified the effect of Oumad"s technic!

Alkeyder makes his move now! He started running at a very high speed .

Oumad seems to have nothing left under his sleeves this time, his most powerful move was of no use . . .

Just as he was about to reach Oumad"s body and deliver the final blow .

HE SLIPPED!!!!

Joshou . "I knew it . . . That is water!!!"

Oumad jumps towards him, with a smile on his face .

Alkeyder was running in a very high speed that the slippery ground completely disrupted his balance, beside that he also hasn"t expected it . . .

Oumad kicks Alkeyder"s leg!!

Everybody had wide open eyes watching the scene in a slow motion!! Even Heracles and the Majestic Guardians themselves!!

Herald shouts excitingly . "ALKEYDER IS FALLING!!!"

Aciya laughed . .

As alkeyder was so close to hitting the floor . . . He magically stopped in midair .

"HOOOYHOOOYHOOOOOAAAAHHHH Am falliiiing!!!"

He was actually . . . . Just PRETENDING to be falling!!

Silence took over the place . They did not even know how to react to this . . .

Beazly . " . . . . Wh . . What?"

*Alkeyder gets back on his legs*

"Ouf . . . That was really close wasn"t it? What a clever young man you are Mr Oumad!

I didn"t know you"ve also started controlling the water element! Not only that . . . To even create it from the air???

You sure deserve to be an alchemist!! And as I am your master, I can"t yet let the student beat me .

That will be a bad example for you . "

As Oumad was shockingly listening to Alkeyder"s soliloquy . . .

He found himself thrown on his back! Not even knowing how or when that happened . . .

Sahaqiel annouces . "The winner is . . . Sir Alkeyder!!"
