Chapter 3 - Dawn

They both move to the point of impact and are both shocked to see a floating baby with golden hair protected by a transparent plasma shield.

"Huh?.."

"what a cute little baby" Aeriel says.

"I agree, but what's it doing here"

" who cares, lets take it home".

" Huh? We cant just take it home, we don't even know where it's from or who's it is".

"Well I don't really care about all that, I'm taking it home" Aeriel says while looking at the child with affection.

"Sigh, fine but we aren't keeping it" Oliver bends, trying to take the baby but it wouldn't budge, he keeps trying but there is no result.

Aeriel steps in, "you've gotten quite weak now haven't you" with a smirk on her face.

She leans over and as her hands touch the barrier surrounding the baby the barrier vanishes, as her arms wraps the baby the baby stops floating and drops in her arms.

"That's how its done Oliver"

"Yh yh"

Oliver looks at the bashed car and sighs, they both turn around and leap off into the sky not knowing that this drunken decision of theirs was about to change their lives forever.

19 Years later

"Can you please get off me" a young cute lad with golden hair says while shoving away the face of a cute younger female,

"Stop bothering your brother AURORA." A beautiful slender woman with black shining hair says coming in holding something in her hand

"Happy Birthday ARTHUR" She says holding the young boy's hand.

She places a necklace with a blue gem pendant over his neck.

"I got this from your grandmother when I was younger…"

"I'm pretty sure you mean STOLE Aeriel." A tall muscular man with shining black hair and trimmed beards butts in.

Aeriel glares at him " Can you not interupt me when I'm speaking with my son Oliver?"

"Don't you mean OUR son?"

Aeriel stands up, walks to Oliver looks him straight in the eye "OURS? Is he really [OURS]? If my memory serves me right, I remember someone not…"

Oliver quickly covers her mouth with a panicked expression " Ok ok why don't we continue what we were doing"

Aeriel shrugs off Oliver's hand, turns and says to Arthur, "that necklace will protect you from anything as long as the force is not as strong as your father here".

Oliver stands there with a proud look on his face

"Thanks mum but I'm pretty sure I don't really need this"

" Huh?... there's danger everywhere you cannot be too careful" Aurora says with a worried look.

"Well of course I mean I don't need it when I have you around" Arthur parts her head as he smiles.

Aurora blushes " Well of course, I'll just beat up anyone who comes near you." She says.

Just then a young boy with silver like hair around the same age as Arthur barges into the house and walks up to Arthur.

"Well I heard today is your birthday Arthur, I have come to grant you the honour of being in my presence, that alone should be more than enough of a birthday gift, but due to my benevolent character I have decided to grant you another great honour by letting you witness my new strength by beating you today and finally having you under me as it should be. The young lad states with a smug look on his face.

" You should be honoured Arthur" he adds.

"Hmmm… Well, so what you are saying is that you want to spar?" Arthur asks.

"Do not put it in such low language, this is an Honourable event you should be happy about" the boy says.

Arthur sighs " I'm pretty sure we've had this [Honourable event] 78 times now Ares and you've lost in all 78"

" Ugh... True but all that will be for naught after I conquer you" Ares affirms with a confident smile on his face.

Arthur sighs. "Seems like you've been training hard"

He stands up and walks out the back, Ares follows behind him, he waves he's left hand sideways from right to left and a platform appears, they both hop onto the platform, Arthur stretches his hand about to do something when a dome shaped plasma shield suddenely appears covering the platform.

"Try going easy on him this time Arthur" a young cute and stunning lady with white hair and faint red eyes says with her two hands stretched out.

"You do know you aren't strong enough to hold up this shield without receiving a backlash right?" Arthur teases.

" That's why I said you should go easy, you know we need him for the upcoming Mara competition".

"Don't worry Beatrix he'll be well available" he says with a smirk on his face and stretches out his left arm and the plasma shield seems to have been re-enforced.

"Sorry to keep you waiting Ares, why don't you make the first move"

" I would happily oblige" Ares responds with a smile on his face, he puts out his right hand and pulls out a sword from empty space, his sword flares up with blue glowing flame just barely surrounding the sword.

He enters a stance and looks straight at Arthur.

"Here I come"

Almost instantly he appears at a 45 degree angle above Arthur with his sword ready to slash down, as he swings he's sword down Arthur raises he's left arm to collide with Ares' sword as if swatting a fly with the back of his hand, the collision causes a rebound and Ares is pushed backwards, he gets into stance once again deeps he's leg into the platform and pushes forward, as he approaches Arthur he turns trying to gather more momentum as he tries to slash Arthur, Arthur once again stretches forth he's right arm to stop the sword, but Ares suddenly vanishes and appears at Arthurs back, Arthur is surprised as his eyes look back at Ares who is about to slash him, Ares smirks "Its my win".

The flaming aura of his sword becomes more intense, Ares hits Arthur and send him flying to crash into the barrier, Arthur drops to the ground looking passed out, it looks like Ares has won, but the supposed winner "Ares" does not drop his guard and remains in stance holding his sword with both hands looking slightly anxious.

"That was supposed to be my winning move, but just as I was about to hit him he fucking smiled? This fucking bastard" Ares thinks to himself.

Just then we see Arthur floating with a diabolical smile on his face, surrounded by sparking golden aura giving off a completely different vibe from the gentle, cool boy vibe he usually gives of.

"Ahh Fuck" Ares laments to himself.

And then Arthur utters with that smile on his face getting wider

"I took that to see how much stronger my punching bag has become, and although you are still lacking you have definitely become stronger, now then, shall we see how much more hits you can take now".

He stretches his right arm and golden arrow head like spikes pops up behind him and are sent flying at almost the speed of sound towards Ares.

"I'll take you on" Ares shouts out, as the golden spikes zoom towards him he starts slashing them as they approach him, he couldn't deflect or slash all of them and some slice at his shoulder and thighs.

Ares groans still trying to stand his ground but then almost instantaneously Arthur appear in front of Ares' face still having that smile on his face and his arm in a position about to punch Ares.

"Shit" Ares splurts as he quickly holds up his sword with his left hand, having the edges facing sideways and places his right arm behind the sword to block the punch, the punch hits heavily and Ares is sent flying, breaking through the barrier, Arthur puts forth his right hand and it seems like something grabs and pulls Ares back into the barrier from over 200 meters away, Ares' face is met with Arthur's palm as he is pulled back and is smashed onto the platform.

Arthur stands up and looks down at Ares lying helplessly on the ground, " Well that was boring" Arthur gives off a sigh.

"I agree, I had expected more since you spoke well of him saying he was the best in your grade aside from you" Oliver says with a look of boredom.

Ariel punches him on the arm and walks towards Arthur, "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay mum, you should check on him though" Arthur suggests while pointing backwards at Ares where Beatrix was already trying to heal him, Ariel quickly gets down on her knees places her hands on Ares' chest, her hands begin to glow with a light green aura, she then asks Beatrix how bad it was.

"It isn't too bad, he only has some cuts, a broken Ulna, a sprained wrist and an injury to the back of his head, that's light compared to what he'd normally have to go through".

Ariel glares at Arthur with the look of "what's this I'm hearing?"

"Don't worry ma, as you know Arthur is a quiet, calm and quite shy person, he's only like this to Ares" Beatrix chips in.

"Oh, but is there a reason for that?" Ariel asks.

"Well…
