TYSON POV...
"You can run but can't hide you Devil" Tyson.
The Earth Devil takes a close look at both( Tyson and Serena) of them.
"Stay back Serena. I think you can take rest for now" Tyson.
"Don't call me later when you need my help" Serena.
Tyson turns his head towards Serena.
"Well that was easy, I did not expect her to back down so fast. Well now this is my chance to show her what I got" Tyson's thoughts.
------
Tyson's thoughts.
"Tyson you are becoming better and better day by day" Serena.
Tyson moves closer to Serena.
"It would've been easy even for you Serena" Tyson.
"You've become more smarter as well Tyson" Serena.
Serena embraces Tyson in her arms.
"Have you finally accepted it? Am I dreaming" Tyson.
-----
REALITY...
Tyson's face looks more like a creep now.
"Hehehehe!" Tyson.
"Aaaah!" The Earth Devil screams.
The Devil throws a rock towards Tyson.
"Blood Manupilation!" Serena.
She makes a small cut on her fingers.
A small thread formed by Blood in her hands goes towards the rock.
It clashes with the rock!
Boom!
The rock is splitter into peices.
The shattered peices pass past Tyson. Who is still lost deep in his thoughts.
"Hey fool! Why are letting me handle this even though you declared this was an easy job for you. And what is that dumb look on your face" Serena to Tyson.
"Huh? What I already killed the Devil" Tyson.
Clash! The Earth Devil's roots and Serena Blood threads collide.
"Hey, I knew it the moment you didn't move. You were dreaming. But I would appreciate your help right now here" Serena.
Tyson moves his legs. Finally!
"Wow! What's his speed" Serena.
Tyson's legs move as fast as the wind.
It was not like he was moving along with the wind.
It was like he was carried by the wind. The wind was moving as he wanted it to be.
"He has definitely stronger than before but, I won't say this because he will loose his focus" Serena in thoughts.
Serena locks her eyes with Tyson's eyes.
She could feel the focus and exictment he is having while fighting.
Kick! Punch!
Tyson's kicks and punches are hitting the Devil.
"Hey Tyson, why are you kicking it. You know that kind of things won't even make scratch on it" Serena.
Tyson continues...
"Now you are making me mad. Hey Tyson do you hear me" Serena.
Tyson continues...
"I am almost there, almost. Sensei (Adryn) I am doing just as you told me and I think it is working" Tyson thinking.
The punches land on the Devil.
Some punches were deflected by the roots and rocks it is using.
"I don't get what he is doing but I think I need to step up" Serena.
Serena decides to make a cut on her hands again.
She is about to make a cut.
The Earth Devil starts to buldge inward.
Tyson's eyes grows bigger.
"Just one more! Aaaah" Tyson screams.
Punch! The final punch lands.
Crack! The covering shell of the Devil Crashes.
"I did it finally Sensei" Tyson.
His palms have started to glow blue.
He looks at his both outter and inner palms.
"Why are his hands glowing. Is that what I think it is" Serena.
She takes a closer look at it.
"Those aren't some random punches. Its a Devil's Fist!" Serena.

TYSON AND ADRYN... (TIME UNKNOWN)
A small ground behind the Exorcists building.
"Multiply ×1000!" Tyson.
Fail!
Gasp! Tyson out of breathe.
"Sensei any thing more that I have to do" Tyson.
"Wow! How did you know I was here. You have definitely improved" Adryn.
"Its because you were exposing too much of your presence Sensei. And I know you are doing it on purpose" Tyson.
"Ahhhaa" Adryn feels awkward.
Tyson turns his head away from Adryn.
Tears starts to come from his eyes.
"I should've taken the praise from him" Tyson.
"You crying Tyson" Adryn.
"No I am not crying" Tyson.
Few moments passed for Tyson to recover.
"Are you done crying, the listen to me" Adryn.
"I told you I was not crying" Tyson.
"Okay got it, now listen to me. What I want to say is something you need to do regularly as it will help you in close combats" Adryn.
"What is it Sensei" Tyson.
Adryn gets closer.
He holds Tyson's palm.
"You know what is Devil's flow right?" Adryn.
Tyson moves his head.
"Yeah you should've. Now focus your entire flow on your both palms" Adryn.
Tyson remains still.
He closes his eyes.
"Okay just take your flow and bring it to your palm" Tyson.
The flow splits like two rivers joining to go in a single direction.
His fists glow, blue in colour.
"You are doing it. Now slowly open your eyes, slowly" Adryn.
Tyson follows Adryn's words.
He slowly opens his eyes.
The blue light have began to vanish slowly as Tyson's eyes opened.
Tyson's eyes fully opened.
The blue colour vanishes.
"Huh? Sensei I did feel something when I closed my eyes. But I don't feel anything at all now" Tyson.
Adryn leaves his palm.
"You memorised that feeling right" Adryn.
Tyson replies yes.
"That is the feeling of controlling your flow. And you lost focus when you opened your eyes. So you know what to do" Adryn.
Adryn grins.
Tyson does the same.
"Thanks Sensei. But can you tell me how was it like and whats it called" Tyson.
"It's called Devil's Fists. And do you want to k ow how was it like" Adryn.
Tyson nodds.
Adryn smiles "Find it own your own after you aquire open-eyed concentration".
Adryn turns around.
"See you later" Adryn waves at Tyson.
"You could just tell me Sensei. And that's also fair I guess" Tyson.

PRESENT...
TYSON POV...
Tyson takes a close look at his palms.
"So this is what it looks like. Blue colour light" Tyson. His mouth widens.
"Hey Tyson, when did you learn to do that" Serena from a far.
"Hey Serena! Wasn't that just awesome" Tyson.
Aah! Devil throws a rock towards Tyson.
"Woah! He is still standing" Tyson.
The Earth Devil stands still.
His covering trees are now gone.
Just a skinny and bony part remain.
That part has his head and legs and a skinny middle lair between them.
"You've gotta drop the Golden band when you die okay" Tyson.
Tyson takes his stand.
Aaah! The Devil Screams.
The scream hurt Tyson.
Forcing him to close his ears and lose concentration.
The floor starts to change.
Trees start to grow from below.
The atmosphere starts to turn green.
Its expanding its Terrian!
It's almost complete.
A thread wraps it from behind.
Slash! Its head is beheaded.
"What did you think. I'll let you expand your Terrian so easily" Serena.
The head falls slowly to the ground.
It was facing Serena while falling.
It sees Serena's face (only her eyes).
It her eyes were glowing red.
Tud! It falls down.
The Devil crumbles down and get mixed with the soil.
Dang! The Terrian crashes.
The Terrian slowly disappears infront of her eyes.
Serena looks towards Tyson.
He was still covering his ears.
Moments pass...
The echoes of the Devil's scream finally disapper from Tyson's ears.
"Why was he screaming just now" Tyson.
He starts to stand up still.
He opens his eyes.
"Hey, what this. Was that all just my Imagination. Where is Serena and the Devil?" Tyson.
------
SOMEWHERE A LITTLE FAR FROM TYSON...
Inside a forest.
Jump! Jump!
Serena is jumping from tree to tree.
"There was no Golden Band after all" Serena.
Serena tends to look behind.
"I think leaving behind Tyson was good thing. He can manage his way to his teammate on his own" Serena.
She trips and falls down from a tree.
Dump! Serena falls to the ground.
"Why do I keep thinking about him Tyson" Serena.
[Earth Devil 1/3 Elemental Devils have been defeated but still no Golden Band 0/3 has been found yet]...
