Short Story: A Hero in the Making (100% Complete)

Saru: *panting* So...I guess that outburst took it's toll on his body. Lucky for me, had it been just a second later, I would've burned to cinders...

*Maylene runs up to Blue*

Maylene: Blue! Are you alright?! Speak to me!

Saru: He'll be fine. But this fight..is over...

Maylene: What do you mean?

Saru: He's out cold. It's remarkable though. He almost had me....But I guess it just wasn't his day. This match, is mine.

Maylene: *sigh* Poor, Blue.

Saru: No, he did very well. Better than I had initially thought. But I never knew, that he had such power lurking inside of him. If one day, he could ever learn to harness it, well, the rest is self explanitory. It has me intrigued, and I plan to look more into it.

Maylene: What should...what should he do now?

Saru: What else? He needs to train even harder. He's just not strong enough. His body still can't handle the vast amounts of energy it contains.

Maylene: I see...

Saru: Will you train him even further?

Maylene: I will, if he will allow me.

Saru: Excellent. With you, I believe he is in good hands. Now then, until the next time we meet.

*Saru disappears*

Maylene: *sigh* I'm proud of you, Blue...

*Maylene stays with Blue in the forest, cradling his body until he regains consciousness. Several hours later, he finally awakens*

Blue: Oooh..M-Maylene...what..what happened?

Maylene: You konked out, Blue. All of that energy was just too much for you.

Blue: I did? Darn it! But what..what of Saru?

Maylene: He claimed victory and left. He said that you needed to train more.

Blue: No...I lost. Again...

Maylene: Oh come on now, don't beat yourself up over it. You did exceptionally well and that's all that matters.

Blue: No, it's not. I was supposed to win. I was supposed to prove myself.

Maylene: And you did that, Blue! He acknowlegded your strength. Isn't that good enough?

Blue: No, Maylene. It can't end like that. I have to beat him!

Maylene: Then let me train you some more! I can help you get stronger!

Blue: Sorry, Maylene, but no. I need to get power in my own way. By my own means.

Maylene: Wait, Blue. A-aren't you overdoing it a bit? Just let it go!

Blue: I can't. I won't. I will do this my way and my way alone. And I know exactly how.

Maylene: How?

Blue: I'll summon powerful creatures to do my bidding! Then, I will use their strength to defeat the Lord of Jahannam and gain his powers. I will use said powers to take control of the entire world! That will surely prove my worth.

Maylene: Blue! Wha..what!? You're crazy!!!

Blue: I'm not crazy, I'm determined.

Maylene: Blue, please, don't do this!

Blue: Stop, Maylene. This is the path I've chosen. Whether it is wrong or right does not matter to me now. I'm going...

*Blue begins to walk away*

Maylene: Blue! *sniff* Don't..please...

Blue: Maylene, don't cry. And..and be sure to tell Gina, that I didn't succeed.

Maylene: *sigh* (Blue, please make the right choice. I beg of you)

*And thus our hero begins his conquest of the world, the first of his many adventures. But little does he know that this journey will lead to a major turning point in his life. A turning point that'll change his life, and that of the world itself, for the better*

To Be Continued...In the Adventures of Blue.
