Everyone was shocked upon hearing Ana's proposal which Eiser immediately accepted yet all of the else had thier concerns. They couldn't just hand over one of thier, what they considered to be a family member to just anyone. Yet Anastasia insisted and the duel was scheduled for the day after tomorrow which wasn't that far ahead.
The entire time between the schedule and the duel, thier were some unspoken borders between Eiser and the rest of the group yet during this short time they were convinced of Eiser's character due to his owerflowing kindness and his bright aura.
The night before the duel, everyone was tired and taking thier share of sleep while Eiser was up looking at the Stars, admiring thier beauty and remembering his sweet moments with his foster father, Jess came up to him and asking his permission, she sat with him and tried to ask him to opt out of the duel. It was not that she did not want Ana to leave but it was her concern for Eiser that she spoke up. Eiser understanding where she came from, started to giggle, watching his giggling face reassured her gentle concerns abit that he might stand a chance.
The next day, at the battleground for the duel, both Eiser and Steve were present with Anastasia standing at the origin of thier circular battleground. The wind was in a rush, and thunderclouds were forming, the condition of the weather benefited both the challengers. The one who will be the last man standing will be the winner and if one were to get out of thier 50 meter circle, he would immediately be disqualified. With those conditions the battle picked a countdown, Both were tense, locked in sharp and as soon as the battle started the faces of the Phantom Troop which were looking dull and concerned for Eiser, brightened up delightfully as Eiser used his speed of electricity, closed in on Eiser before he could comprehend and threw an electrified powerful Punch just below his ribs in his epigastrial region. The impact of that one punch was so great that in addition to coughing out alot of blood, he blacked out and was sent back kilometers away. The Members of the phantom troop, who were watching the duel, they staggered back, cold sweat broke out on thier faces with jaws hanging and they were too stunned to even comprehend the force that unfolded before them. They were so baffled that they started to see visions of the ancient worlds' Strongest King in Eiser. But to thier surprise, Eiser was worried aswell. He took off after watching thier reactions to collect Steve from where he was thrown back to.
When he went away, Marco and Jess Cleared there throats out to bring themselves and everyone else back to the reality. The Kids, Antonio and Val were amazed, and yelled "AMAZING!!". While Anastasia laughed so hard it burst her into tears. Everyone had different expressions on this duel. Some were hyped up to see such a powerful display. Some were excited and some were threatened but the thing all of thier untold expressions had in common was that they had never seen such a strong and composed display of power before. Thy was the power of the Thunder they hunted, truly and unfathomably frightening.
After some time, Eiser and a limping and leaning on Eiser for support, Steve came back to thier base and had a banquet celebration for the winner of the duel. The Banquet of the adolescents went on till the first phase of the night and after all the partying, they came to the main subject of finding Eiser's father. Eiser told them that he will go to the city where this province's gang the Chain Dogs are hoping he could find some clue on his father while Ana from then on was to handle to responsibilities, her own, to find her comerades and also to find Eiser's strangely vanished father.
