Nameless King

"Aurora, what do you plan to do next? Why do you want Wain?" Ern asked as he took a sip of the already slightly cold tea.

"Oh, so his name is Wain? What a fitting name for him..." Aurora muttered while staring intently at the sleeping Wain, "I\'ll wait until he wakes up first, then everything will become clear. I\'m sure he\'ll have a lot of questions for me too."

"Yeah... That\'s for sure... There\'s been a real explosion in my head, I\'m sure Wain will be as surprised as I am." Ern spoke in a dazed voice as the cup in his hands trembled, "When do you think Wain will wake up?"

Wain breathed slowly as thin dark threads slowly emerged from him. The dark beasts beside him were summoned by Aurora to protect him from any threat.

"I don\'t know..." Aurora muttered, "You\'ve been asleep for three days. If Kadridas hadn\'t cured you, it\'s not like you would have woken up, but Wain is a different situation. Outwardly he\'s perfectly fine, he doesn\'t have any wounds, not even a simple bruise... however, he spent too much energy."

"Huh, that\'s not surprising. It was an amazing sight, such power, such speed, it\'s something incredible. His skills are the most extraordinary thing I\'ve ever seen." Ern grinned.

"It\'s true... I don\'t understand something, there hasn\'t been any change in three days. I\'ve checked his energy levels numerous times, but it\'s still completely empty... What\'s more, he has no aura now, it\'s like he\'s lost all his power..." Aurora said with a confused look.

"It sounds problematic, but... I don\'t think you have anything to worry about. Just give it some time." Ern spoke in a serious voice.

It was not uncommon for fighters to be completely exhausted after major battles, so some needed weeks or even months to return to normal.

...

"Well, well. My appearance was more traumatic than I thought it would be." Light Racer muttered while holding his chin with a thoughtful look.

"What are we going to do? We can\'t wake him up. Moreover, what\'s going on here?" Cursed Swordsman asked as he looked at the platform below.

Many cracks appeared on the platform as if it was ready to collapse at any moment. The Dark Crown swayed slowly from side to side and dark energy vibrations emanated from it.

"Maybe we should try to break it?" Blind Sorcerer suggested as he put his palm to the platform.

"How? He\'s come to the edge. Most of the conditions have been met, but... it\'s still not enough. He must make another breakthrough." Code of Light and Darkness was confused.

The Light Racer smiled as his golden hair shone brightly and said, "Physically, he\'s still too weak, but we just need to connect with his mind so we can show him our stories."

Whoooooooooosh.

The Light Racer turned into a golden flash that began circling the platform. It gradually picked up speed, it looked like a ring of light amidst the pitch blackness that increased in size.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Suddenly space shuddered, and a glass wall appeared in front of the Light Racer. He shattered it, as the shards flew apart, shining brightly because of the reflection of the light.

"Damn. His speed is really something." Black Sun Aristocrat muttered while shaking his head.

Crackling.

The space next to Black Sun Aristocrat shattered as a golden flash burst out of it, that grabbed him by the collar and carried him away.

"What the...?!" Black Sun shouted before disappearing.

Crack.

Then the same thing happened to the Knight of the Bloody Rose. The Light Racer took them with him.

"Hmm? What just happened?" Cursed Swordsman muttered with a dazed look, "Is that normal?"

"Well... I guess that\'s fair enough. He had to wait longer than everyone else, so he decided to take this opportunity to make up for a lost time." Blind Sorcerer said with a slight smile on his face.

...

Light Racer, Black sun Aristocrat, and Knight of the Bloody Rose found themselves in a strange place. Gothic lamps with purple lights were floating around, and a massive dark cloud was floating in the center with someone sleeping on it.

"Where are we?" Black Sun Aristocrat asked.

"This is Wain\'s consciousness." Light Racer replied as he shook his hand in a careless manner.

"It\'s pretty creepy in here, isn\'t it?"

"Well, here his consciousness is equal to a god, so he decided that this would be the most comfortable way to recover. Unfortunately, we\'ll have to wake him up, it won\'t affect his physical state anyway." Light Racer mouthed before approaching Wain.

He put his palm to his chest, and it glowed brightly. Waves of golden light spread out that made the lamps tremble.

Wain slowly opened his eyes, and purple flames burst out of the lamps, that headed for the Light Racer.

Snap.

The Black Sun Aristocrat created several dark spheres that engulfed the flames and weakened their power.

"Wake the hell up." Light Racer said with a disgruntled look.

"Light Racer...?" Wain muttered in a dazed voice.

"Yeah. That\'s me. It was pretty hard to get here, you have no idea how it was!" Light Racer exclaimed.

"Where am I? Am I awake yet?" Wain asked while looking around.

"Not really. This place is in your consciousness, or rather you are the consciousness... Anyway, it\'s complicated, but it\'s not that important." Light Racer shrugged, "You\'re still recovering from the last fight, so we can\'t interact with you, but that doesn\'t extend to space.

"Oh... You\'re here too..." Wain muttered when he noticed the Black Sun Aristocrat and the Knight of the Bloody Rose.

"Yeah... That psycho just took us with him. He doesn\'t know what tact is at all." Black Sun Aristocrat shook his head in a disgruntled manner.

"Can we get started already?" Knight of the Bloody Rose asked.

"Start what?" Wain was baffled by this situation.

"This!" The Light Racer put his palm on Wain\'s forehead, and his eyes shone brightly like lanterns.
