The Lost Fruits

-------------------------------

Jahilon Kingdome - Capital City Jamr

-------------------------------

Ace looked at Leonard's body and waited for him to turn slowly to ashes, he found beauty in fire, an indescribable beauty that he doesn't understand. A fascinating thing, since the day he could use, it was his favorite thing to burn his enemy's body.

Genie sighed and sat down on a rock "Damn it, flashbacks are coming to me again." He said stuffing his face between his palms.

"Hm?" Ace looked at him with a questioning expression.

"Nothing, I just remembered my fight with Yellow." Genie shuddered.

"Oh, by the way, what was that thing you casted on me during the fight?" Ace asked, he touched his forehead trying to check for anything abnormal.

Genie jumped up and puffed his c.h.e.s.t with a huge smile "That my friend was Hypnotization Immunity, don't ever worry about being tricked or mind-controlled." He floated near Ace and leaned on his shoulder "Praise me." He said with a smug face.

"Oh, Genie you're awesome! cool! the best!!" Ace started clapping furiously.

Genie looked at his fake smile and scuffed "Humph! I get the sarcasm, stop." He pouted and looked the other way.

"Haha! Don't sweat it, brother. Let's go to the city, I need to see that King." Ace surrounded his lower body in a small flame tornado and took off to the city. Genie followed behind him.

From up in the sky, Ace could see the battle was going on, though, seeing the reduced numbers of Agrabah's army, Ace frowned. His answer soon came from the Jahilon's army party, as he could see two guys in red coats firing fireballs at the army, the only reason they are still alive is that the fireballs are too weak to kill an armored human with shields.

"God damn it!" Ace grumbled "I thought there weren't that many Magicians in the world. Now everyone and their dog in this country is a magician."

Having got enough actions for one day, Ace coated himself in lighting and defended like lightning on one Magician's head squashing his body to the ground then shifting his gaze to the man on his left and swung his sword and cut his body in half.

Seeing their Two support and last Magicians get killed in a second, the soldiers gasped in fear while taking several steps back.

One man with a blackboard and a full silver army with a crown on his head shouted "Don't fear, he is but one man, don't weaver!" he shouted, his voice was overbearing and commanding giving his soldiers the momentary support they needed.

"One man?" Ace turned back to see the man who shouted. And as soon as he saw the crown on his head he smiled "Oh! You're the king, right?" Ace spoke while playing with his sword.

King Jahil frowned and clenched his hands 'He is here...this is bad...' he thought.

On the other side, Hassan saw Ace took out the two Magicians and sighed in relief "GATHER AROUND AND CHARGE AT THE ENEMY!!" he shouted.

In few seconds Agrabah's army regained its foothold and started clearing the soldiers on their way until they reached Ace and stood behind him.

Hassan took a deep breath and walked beside Ace "King Jahil...You have lost the war you picked, give in and announce your defeat and stop this merciless killing of your soldiers."

Ace shook his head, clearly not interested in any of this. Jahil gritted his teeth "Never...I am a king and I will never surrender for anyone. Attack, kill their general while they are close!!" he shouted.

Being the soldiers they are and cornered with nothing to lose but death, they charged at Ace and Hassan.

Ace sighed and opened his eyes wide making the air trembling from the pressure his emitting right now "Sleep for now...Once you wake up, you will witness your country reborn." He said. Only King Jahil was standing, not because he was able to, but because he wasn't targeted.

"First of all, I don't like to take part in this surrender and never talk, you have lost and you will be killed, but before that..." Ace focused his pressure on Jahil making him tremble and frozen in his place "...Why did you send a command to kill me?" he asked.

Jahil remembered and gritted his teeth. Ace smiled and continued "I never met you before, never crossed roads and never stepped foot in your domain, yet...you sent someone to kill me. Why?"

Jahil smiled "Well, it came to this...I am never telling you." Though he could have taken Jafar down with him. Jahil realized that he is a dead man. Then why expose the only card in the game that can avenge his loss even though if they are not friends anymore.

"..." Ace looked at his eyes deeply. Genie came down with a human form without the blue color. Seeing the squashed and cut body he turned his head to the other side. Hassan looked at him and frowned 'who the hell is this?' he thought.

"You could've run away...you could have avoided your soldiers dying and your country taken over. But you didn't do anything." Ace never understood kings. In the past too, so many of them were stubborn and greedy to the end, only a handful was kind enough to abandon their pride for the sake of one solider.

Jahil was still under pressure, it started taking its toll on him as his eyes started giving in "If it is ...In your...destiny, you...will understand what it means to be...king."

"Is that so...Last question..." Ace took Jahil's face and came face to face with him "Have you ever seen the face of the devil?" Without even giving the chance for the king to be confused, Ace's face started melting with worms, pus coming out of it as if he was dipped in hell itself.

Jahil's hair turned white and as if his soul wanted to escape, his pants became wet and brown as life slowly left his now weak and disgusting body.

"Now you did." Ace let go of his face letting the poor guy drop to the ground.

He turned behind him to see Genie looking at him like a cow and his mouth opening and closing like a fish. It seems he was able to see what Ace just did and to say he was disgusted would be an understatement "Hassa. Now what?" Ace ignored him and asked Hassan.

"Yes. We will arrest every soldier here and those who are hiding, we will go inside the palace, there must be the women of the palace left or escaped, they will be captured to either be killed or be used as political tools to stabilize our ruling in here, as you may know, just because we won the war over the country doesn't mean we can rule. And if there is any prince or an heir to the throne, the will be killed immediately." Hassan explained their next course of action as he sheathed his sword.

"Ehhh~," Ace said in an amazed but bored tone "I will take a walk inside the palace...Let's go Blue." Ace kicked the body of Jahil aside and went inside the Palace.

Genie followed him and started complaining about what he did earlier, others may not be able to see it but he did. Genie was crying and begging Ace to never do such a thing again.

Hassan still doesn't recognize that guy with Ace which he called Blue but still since Ace knows him he didn't dwell on it that much. "Take chains and lock these sons here. Form 10 squads of 15 men and roam the city and search for any soldier. They resist, kill them." He said.

Far Far in the North - The everlasting winter Mountain Eyassu

-------------------------------------------------------------------

On the highest mountain in the world. With an everlasting winter lands. A huge building consisting of many tall towers and buildings that pierce the sky. a very secretive institution has taken this location as its home.

Inside the tallest tower clad in Black colors of the sky. Three men walked inside the hallway leading to the only room on this floor.

They were three young men with White coats decorated by many pieces of jewelry that seem so exotic to be of the living world. One of those men knocked on the door and waited for the order.

Then a faint and calm "Come in" Resounded from behind the room. The three men stepped inside the room and immediately knelt down in respect for the man in front of them sitting on his large and wide office.

"Principal Ausar. You called us?" The boy who seems like the leader of the group spoke.

The man named Ausar smiled and spoke: "Yes, I have summoned the three of you for a reason." He was an old man with a tall white beard, glasses and a long black winter coat that reaches the floor.

"We are at your command." The trio spoke in union.

Ausar laughed "No need to be stiff. As you may know, your graduation is just around the corner, and just like any other Nomrood Academy's student, you must finish your first task before you can fully graduate and set to your journey in the world or you can stay here and be a citizen in the everlasting winter lands." He said.

Hearing about their graduation, the trio flinched, their dream is around the corner. They all smile in stealth trying to conceal their happiness.

"Ebo...Azmar...Xero...you three are our best students. And as such you will be sent on this task, it is a very important one." Ausar took on the air of principal and spoke "...For the past few months, we have noticed a disturbance in the natural flow of the two elements; Lightning and Fire. The natural flow started shifting from the usual random drifting in the air to the current flow of taking a path toward the east."

"The Academy's council has conducted tests and experiments and came to two conclusions that either...a powerful artifact was born, probably two connecting them to the elements...and the other one is that this is the work of Men." Ausar stood up and walked to the wall behind him and pressed on it. Steam came out of the wall and a shiny ball floated until it rested on Ausar's hand.

"Use this tool to track down the source of the elements flow, find...If it is an artifact retrieve it, if you can't destroy it...and if it is the work of men, kill them."
