Aster let the rocks he was controlling drop to the ground,

"So are you gonna talk or do we have to get forceful again ?", Levant asked,

She sighed, and walked over to a near by boulder and sat down,

"we really didn't have to go through any of this though, if you guys would've simply asked a question", she said,

"what do you expect, we came home to you as an intruder", Levant stated to her,

"well in that regard I do understand why you acted so, and I probably would've done the same thing, though carrying it to the extent of torture is a bit excessive", she continued stating,

"That's your opinion", barak responded,

"but for youngsters you guys reacted quickly, I'm impressed", She stated,

"Youngsters"....."you don't look that much older than us", Polaris chimed in,

"Ohhh...this one talks" she said, mocking polaris,

"Get to the point", Levant said,

"Careful there hot head, the only way that you guys can take me is four on one", she stated,

"Anyways, my name is yumi, and I'm from the Shadow continent", Yumi continued,

"the shadow continent, never heard of you guys", Aster replied,

"well we don't have much time for socializing with other countries nowadays anyways", Yumi retorted,

"oh so why are you here then", barak answered sharply,

"glad you asked, right now the continent is in a state of unrest, basically at war, and the rebel army I'm with is looking to recruit strong fighters, and you guys are plenty strong, however we aren't the only ones interested in you guys, after uncovering some information, the strongest guild on our continent had taken some interest in you so we made a move so they wouldn't bring you over to their side", Yumi explained

"you're talking like they're you enemy", Aster answered,

"actually they are", Yumi snapped back,

"look we've done all the background checks on all four of you, and by some twist of fate Aster you're ex is with the guild", she continued,

"so with all that said I'm asking you guys for your help to stop a senseless war that is tearing my home apart", Yumi pleaded, with a desperate look on her face,

Aster walked forward and stood in front of her, with his arms folded,

"If serene is apart of them then that means her partner is to and i have a score to settle with him, so for the time being I will help you", Aster said turning around and looking at the rest,

"Hmph....I hope you know what you're getting us into aster, I don't wanna do it but I'm not leaving you by yourself", Levant said as he reluctantly joined them,

Polaris sighed, "if the two of y'all going them count me in also",

"That leaves you barak, what will it be ?", Aster asked,

"Once I'm not taking orders from anyone and i don't have to hold back sure, I'm in" Barak said,

At that moment a dark figure appeared behind yumi,

"HEL......" she tried to scream but was cut short, the four boys turned around, and saw the figure with yumi jumping into the trees,

Aster let out a sigh," well Levant time for us to be heroes", he said patting Levant on his shoulder, with a grin on his face,

"Yeah yeah, your making food for me once this is done", Levant said ,

"So y'all gonna get to work or not", Polaris said, drawing his sword from its sheath,

"Okay", Aster replied,

He summoned his war hammer from within the earth, and raised in high over his head,

TITANIC SPLITTER, he shouted as his hammer hit the ground,

All that was heard after was a thunderous CRACK, and in the place of the part of the forest that was just ahead was now a giant crater that stretched as far as you could see,

"Okay that should have scarred them a bit", Aster said chuckling to himself,

"You keep way to much noise aster", Levant said,

"That's funny coming from a glorified firecracker", Aster rebutted,

Aster dropped the head of his hammer to the ground, and then it began to rumble, and underneath each of the boys feet shot a pillar of earth from within the ground,

As the boys stood atop the pillars, looking for yumi,

"Levant give us some light would ya", Barak stated,

Levant just pushed his hand straight into the air, and as the sparks formed in his hand, a giant ball of fire appeared,

"Is this good enough for ya ?", Levant sarcastically asked barak,

"Oh there they are"polaris said, he was sitting down with his hand on his chin,

"You mark them Barak I'll hit them", Polaris said as he stood up from sitting,

Barak made a small spark of lightning at his fingertip and pointed it at the unknown figure,

A spear of ice formed in polaris' hand, he drew back his arm,LIGHTNING HUNTER, Polaris shouted, and he threw the spear, and without even aiming in their direction the spear flew towards the unknown person and yumi,

"You know that particular move always amazes me", Aster said placing his hand above his eyes looking off at the spear,

The unknown person looked back and narrowly dodged the spear,

"Shit they found me", the person said to themselves,

"GIANTS...PROTECT ME", the person shouted, and with a flash of blue lights, four giants appeared in front of the boys, towering over the forest.
