Trials of the monarchs

Ashton, the rest of class Omega, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy were seen entering the dorm room to see Dimitri dressed in his shinobi attire and preparing himself with the items and weapons needed.

Dimitri: I take it you are coming to see how I do in the trials?

Ashton: Along with our class, yeah.

Dimitri: Alright then.

Shelby: You seem surprisingly calm about this.

Dimitri: I trained every day to be strong so I think these trials should be fun.

A-Bomb: Fun? Sindel made them sound like a death sentence.

Nami: Yeah.

Ashton: You guys are forgetting that since Dimitri is a phantom monarch, he has phantom soldiers to back him up in the fight.

The scene cuts to show Ashton in a confessional room facing the camera.

Ashton: My pal has faced a lot of things to become strong, but knowing Sindel like I do, these trials have to be made to have him go at his fullest. So I just hope that these trials don't kill him.

The scene changes to show the group heading outside the academy where Sindel is waiting for them.

Sindel: I assume you are ready for the trials?

Dimitri: Yes. I'm ready.

Sindel: Very well then.

We see a portal open up and everyone begins to walk into it. The portal on the other side opens up and the group walks out to find themselves in a throne room that was abandoned for many years.

She-Hulk: This place could use a decorator.

Zee: (notices a rat skittering by) And an exterminator, too.

Clover: But hey check that out. (Points at a throne) That is a throne to sit on.

Then clunking footsteps were heard and everyone turned to see a knight in blood-red armor wearing a cape wielding a massive bronze-colored sword that matched his height walking into the area.

Clover: You know what, never mind. (Runs behind Ashton)

Dimitri: So who is this?

Single: This is your first challenger of your trial, Knight Commander Igris the Blood-Red.

Ashton: I'm guessing you saved the toughest enemy for Dimitri for the first round?

Sindel: Indeed.

Dimitri: Well then, guess I'll have to get started. (Draws out his sword)

Ashton: I say this is our part to move out of the way. Come on guys.

Red: Alright, but I'm doing it so I can see the kid get dragged around the dirt.

The group then ran to a far part of the room to stay clear from the fight Dimitri had his sword held up while Ashton got his phone out to record the fight.

Alex: What are you doing?

Ashton: Just making a live stream, this should get some attention for Class Omega.

Everyone looked to see Igris raising his sword and pointing it at Dimitri, suddenly Igris dashed towards Dimitri with lightning-fast speed and swung his sword at Dimitri causing him to duck at the last second while the slash cut a nearby pillar in half like it was butter, causing it to shatter in pieces sending the bits of stone flying.

Loona: Holy shit!

Ashton: He just sliced that pillar like it was a tree branch.

Shelby: That could have been Dimitri.

Igris then swung his sword at Dimitri causing him to block it with his sword but was sent flying to a wall due to the force, Igris then charged at Dimitri and swung his sword bringing out multiple slashes which demolished the wall while Dimitri jumped in the air nearly avoiding the attack And landing to the ground.

Dimitri: This thing is beyond strong!

Dimitri then looked to see Igris closing in swinging his sword at him which caused Dimitri to be sent flying into the air while Igris sent a few slashes at him. When Dimitri landed on the ground he spotted Igris closing in on him again with a slash which destroyed the ground near him, sending Dimitri across the room with the others watching while Ashton was filming it.

Nami: That heavy armor isn't slowing him down at all!

Dimitri then ran towards Igris and began to swing his sword at him while Igris was seen dodging the attacks Dimitri threw with his blade Dimitri was trying to hit Igris as best as he could but couldn't due to Igris effortlessly dodging him Dimitri then swung to the left as his sword hits Igris at the side of his waist but it as shown that the blade did not cut through Igris' armor. Dimitri then looked to see Igris swinging his sword down at Dimitri. Dimitri quickly brought his sword up to block the attack while Igris was trying to push down.

Dimitri: This guy is tough...

Then Dimitri was pushed back sliding across the room while class omega continued to watch the duel.

A-Bomb: Woah, that Igris guy is just as strong as Dimitri.

Ashton: If he lands one hit on Dimitri, he's gonna kill him.

Dimitri: Ok, if weapons won't cut it. Let's shake things up a bit. (Places his sword down) Then how about we throw fists

Igris looked at Dimitri and then placed his sword down, then Igris threw aside his cape and threw the daggers off of his sash.

Dimitri: I guess chivalry isn't dead.

Yang: This is gonna be interesting.

Igris then came charging at Dimitri and grabbed him by his shirt slamming him into the ground which created a crater. Everyone watched in shock to see Dimitri being slammed around as if he was a ragdoll while Red Hulk was laughing at the scene.

Red Hulk: This is too good! (Laughs) This is just too good! (Holds up a bucket of popcorn and eats out of it)

Jessica: What do you mean "Too good"? This is a blood bath!

Asuka: If this keeps up Dimitri's gonna die!

Igris then picked Dimitri up and threw him towards a wall. Dimitri crashes into the wall and sees Igris coming in fast with a punch ready and throws it at him while Dimitri holds his arms up to block the punch. Igris began to throw one punch after another, each getting faster and faster than the other, making a massive dust cloud while the wall was cracking with every punch Igris threw. Dimitri then jumped to make some distance from Igris.

Dimitri: Even if I blocked his punches they still dealt damage, and that's even without his sword. He's too powerful. I can't compete with his brute strength. But even so I still have the speed.

Dimitri then ran at Igris running around him at light speed in circles. He charged in at Igris while throwing a punch at Igris trying to hit him only for Igris to effortlessly dodge the attack, Dimitri then landed on the wall and jumped towards Igris sending a punch at him while Igris blocked it which sent him sliding a few feet. Dimitri then came at Igris and began throwing multiple punches and kicks at him, while Igris  dodged them like they were nothing while everyone was watching.

She-Hulk: This is intense, him and Igris are both evenly matched.

Ashton: Yeah, but that knight is much stronger than him. One screw up and Dimitri's dead meat.

We go back to Dimitri who was trying to punch Igris only for him to trip Dimitri and punch him to the ground. Dimitri was seen flying into the air, Igris then picked up a large piece of stone and threw it at Dimitri, which shattered at impact. Igris then started running towards Dimitri and leaped into the air and got behind him kicking him to the floor which damaged it and Dimitri crashed into a pillar making a massive dust cloud. Igris landed to the floor and looked at the dust cloud, suddenly Dimitri ran out of it and came at Igris once more throwing various punches and kicks at Igris only for him to block the attacks and throw Dimitri up in the air which he retaliated by coming down with a kick while Igris dodged it. Dimitri continued on his onslaught of punches and kicks on Igris who effortlessly dodged them, Igris then spun Dimitri up which he then did a spin kick at Igris hitting him in the neck.

Blitzo: Yeah! He got him! (Looks at Ashton) He got him, right?

Dimitri looked at Igris and then noticed his eyes starting to slightly glow red which everyone took notice of.

Ashton: Guys, I think Dimitri just made Igris mad.

Igris then began to throw punches at Dimitri and punched him sending him flying across the room, Igris then rushes at him and jumped up bringing down a kick at Dimitri which hit him and began to resume his onslaught on hits on him, Igris then grabbed Dimitri and swung him around and threw him to a wall. Once Dimitri hit the wall, Igris charged in and grabbed Dimitri dragging him through the wall and threw him across the room in which he fell and landed on the throne. Igris looks at Dimitri and walks towards him with the others watching to see Igris standing over Dimitri who is sitting on the throne looking exhausted.

Ashton: Oh no... Dude! Get up!

Nami: You need to get up or you're dead!

Igris then held his arm up while his hand started to glow. We see Igris' sword glowing and then fly towards Igris who caught it and held it up ready to finish Dimitri off while everyone watched in worry.

Asuka: I can't watch. (Covers her eyes)

Blitzo: Oh, but I can!

Igris then swung his sword down at Dimitri which everyone gasped at the sight. Then it is revealed Dimitri had revealed to have caught Igris sword while holding it away from his face looking mad.

Dimitri: I was trying to avoid destroying this place, so I tried to hold back. But not anymore... now...

Dimitri then used his power mimicry to mimic Jessica's construct power and made a dagger to which he stabbed right into Igris' left eye.

Dimitri: I'M CUTTING LOOSE!!!

Dimitri then tackled Igris and began to push him towards a wall which everyone watched in shock. Dimitri grabbed the dagger and ripped it out of Igris' eye and began to stab Igris straight in the neck. We see Gris trying to raise his hand only for Dimitri to repeatedly stab Igris' neck over and over again repeatedly to which everyone watched in shock to see Dimitri showing this much strength. After 60 stabs Dimitri was panting while looking at Igris' lifeless body to which his neck was leaking blood out.

Zee: He did it...

A-Bomb: Dimitri won!

Blitzo: He fucked that trial up so hard!

Sindel: Don't celebrate too soon. The trial is only beginning.

Ashton: What do you mean? He beat Igris.

Sindel: Igris was only a warm-up.

Everyone: Warm-up?

Suddenly 35 magic mages appeared and conjured portals which knights started to appear out of them.

Sindel: The real trial begins now.

Dimitri then sees his sword across the room and rushes towards it and grabs it.

Dimitri: Let's do this.

Dimitri the. Ran towards the knights and began to slash each one with his sword which more and more knights came and started to surround him while everyone watched while Ashton continued to film it.

Ashton: This is off the hook!

Dimitri was seen slashing a knight in half while seeing more coming.

Dimitri: Time for some backup. Come forth!

We then see the phantom soldiers of the exorcists appear and began to charge at the knights beginning to battle with them.

Dimitri: That should hold them off. But how do I take these guys down?

Dimitri then looked to see the mages at the distance with their hands up and sees the portals that were next to them. Dimitri's eyes then widened as he had the realization.

Dimitri: If I take out the mages, then I can out the knights too!

Dimitri then ran to the mages and began to slash down the mages one by one as he took out 25 of them, we see the remaining 10 come together and hold their hands up and begin to bring all the pieces of knight armor together to create a giant golem.

Dimitri: A golem huh? That's not gonna stop me!

Dimitri then rushed towards the golem and slashed it down breaking it to many pieces and charged at the ten mages and slashed them all in half. We see the remaining knights begin to fall down and become pieces of armor.

Dimitri: That's all of them. (Thinks for a minute) Come to think of it, they might come useful.

Dimitri then turned to the bodies of the mages and knights all scattered in the throne room and held his hand up.

Dimitri: Arise.

Suddenly black mist surrounded the bodies of the knights and mages which phantoms of the knights and mages began to rise from the corpse. The others then came to Dimitri.

Ashton: That was pretty tough.

Nami: So I take it we're going for the next trial?

Dimitri: Not yet. I still have one more soul to extract.

Dimitri walked over to Igris' dead body.

Dimitri: Arise.

We see black mist surrounding Igris but then create a shockwave in which Dimitri sees a message in his vision saying "Extraction failed. 4 attempts remaining".

Dimitri: Arise.

We see black mist surrounding Igris again only to make another shockwave and the same message appears in Dimitri's vision.

Dimitri: Come on, Arise!

Igris's body was engulfed in black mist once more only for the shockwave to happen again.

Dimitri: I don't get it, why won't it work?

Ashton: Guessing Igris is too strong to be extracted.

Dimitri then looked at Igris' corpse for a minute and turned to the throne where Dimitri started to piece things together. Dimitri then turned to Igris' body again.

Dimitri: Waiting for your king, huh? How can you be certain he'll come back? Knight Commander Igris, you are a warrior, that means your purpose is to cut down your foes. Will you let your blade rust in this crumbling ruin or will you rise above that fate and serve me?

Harley: (whispers to Ashton) He knows he's talking to a dead body?

Ashton: Maybe he's on to something.

Dimitri: Instead of defending the throne of a fallen king, pledge yourself to the man before you. Arise.

We then see Igris' body begin to shake while black mist surrounds him. Then a massive shockwave of power bursts through the room pushing everyone back. We see a phantom of Igris appear out of his body and stand up, his back then sprout out a cape. Dimitri then looked at Igris and smiled seeing his extraction had worked.

Dimitri: From now on, you are simply "Igris", that is your name.

Igris then started to walk to Dimitri and stood along with the rest of Dimitri's phantom army. Igris then kneeled to Dimitri as the phantom soldiers followed, kneeling before him.

Dimitri: One trial down, two to go.

A portal opened up with Sindel walking to it.

Sindel: Come, the next trial awaits.

The group then walks into the portal and find themselves in a snow covered Iceland.

Dimitri: So what is the next trial?

Sindel: You will be facing them.

Growling was heard when Dimitri turned to see a cave and noticed multiple white bears coming out of the cave and roared.

Dimitri: Alright then. Come forth.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

We see blue energy appear as Dimitri's phantom army and Igris appear and stand with him while the ice bears come together and growl.

Dimitri: Time for your first mission.

An ice bear roared loudly causing the others to charge.

Dimitri: Now go.

The phantom knights charged into battle, with the phantom exorcists flying above to join the fight. The ice bears and phantom soldiers clashed, each side demonstrating their power and ferocity. A phantom knight slashed off an ice bear's paw and then its stomach, killing it. Another ice bear came and slammed its paw down, crushing the knight. A warhammer belonging to a phantom exorcist struck the ice bear's skull, shattering it and spilling blood. Several phantom knights and exorcists charged at another ice bear, but it swatted them away with ease. A phantom mage fired a fireball that struck the ice bear, setting it ablaze. Black mist appeared, causing the phantom knights and exorcists to regenerate their bodies and resume the fight. One ice bear roared and lunged at a group of phantom mages casting spells. The mages quickly created a shield, deflecting the bear's powerful swipe. In retaliation, they launched a barrage of ice spikes, piercing the bear and causing it to collapse. High above, a phantom exorcist flew through the air, firing arrows of blue energy at the ice bears below. One arrow pierced an ice bear's eye, causing it to howl in pain and fury. The bear reared up on its hind legs, swiping at the air as it tried to reach the phantom. Meanwhile, a group of phantom knights worked together to take down a particularly large ice bear. One knight distracted the bear with swift slashes while another knight sneaked behind and delivered a powerful blow to its hind legs. The bear stumbled, and the knights took the opportunity to finish it off with coordinated strikes. Nearby, another phantom knight faced off against two ice bears simultaneously. The knight skillfully parried their attacks, dodging swipes and bites. With a swift spin, the knight slashed one bear across the chest and thrust their sword into the other bear's throat, killing them both. A phantom mage conjured a whirlwind of blue energy, lifting an ice bear off the ground and spinning it violently. The bear roared in confusion and fear before the mage released the whirlwind, sending the bear crashing into a group of other bears, knocking them over. A few phantom mages combined their powers to create a massive ice spike, launching it at an advancing ice bear. The spike pierced the bear's chest, pinning it to the ground as it roared in agony. Across the battlefield, a phantom knight wielding a battle axe charged at an ice bear, swinging the weapon with great force. The axe cleaved through the bear's shoulder, nearly severing its leg. The bear let out a pained roar, but the knight showed no mercy, delivering the finishing blow. The chaos of the battle was amplified by the continuous clash of weapons, growls of the ice bears, and the shouts of the phantom soldiers. The snow-covered landscape became a chaotic scene of combat, with blue energy and fiery spells lighting up the battlefield, creating a mesmerizing yet deadly dance of light and shadows. Phantom soldiers exhibited impressive teamwork, coordinating their attacks to take down the ice bears more effectively. A group of knights formed a defensive line, shielding the mages as they cast their powerful spells. The exorcists provided aerial support, raining down energy blasts on the ice bears from above. Dimitri was seen watching the battle progress with Igris standing with him.

Dimitri: Powerful attacks. My phantom soldiers can even regenerate, that's a bonus. (Hears a rumbling) Huh?

Then from the cave we see an ice bear which was larger than the others with a X shaped scar on its chest and scratch marks on it!s eye with a strip of blue hair going from its head down it's back like a mohawk emerges from the cave and lets out a thunderous roar. Dimitri looked at the ice bear with a smirk under his face mask.

Dimitri: So you're the leader of the pack?

We see the phantom soldiers looking at the ice bear alpha while it lunges its paw at a few phantom knights crushing them while phantom exorcists flew towards it to fight it only for the alpha to swat them away with ease. A few mages blasted some fireballs at the alpha which did little to no damage, causing it to charge towards them and using its massive paws to crush them. Several phantom knights tried to flank the alpha, coordinating their attacks. One knight aimed for the bear's leg, but the alpha roared and swiped its paw, sending the knight flying into a snowbank. Another knight attempted to strike the bear's side, but the alpha turned swiftly and bit down on the knight's sword, shattering it. High above, a group of phantom exorcists launched a synchronized aerial attack. They fired bolts of blue energy at the alpha, targeting its eyes and face. The bear roared in frustration, swatting at the exorcists, but they skillfully dodged its massive claws. One exorcist managed to land a hit on the bear's forehead, causing it to momentarily stagger.A phantom mage conjured a powerful ice spike and hurled it at the alpha, aiming for its heart. The bear sensed the attack and twisted its body, causing the spike to graze its shoulder instead. The alpha roared in pain and fury, its eyes glowing with a fierce determination. As the battle raged on, the ice bear alpha's strength and ferocity became evident. It continued to crush and maul the phantom soldiers, displaying an almost supernatural resilience. Despite being outnumbered, the alpha fought with relentless aggression, refusing to back down. then the remaining phantom knights and phantom exorcists charged at the ice bear alpha together to attack, but suddenly purple energy emitted from the ice bear alpha which then let out a loud and powerful roar creating a powerful shockwave of power which knocked them all back and wiped them out. Dimitri was standing at a distance with Igris standing beside him watching the scene.

Dimitri: Wow. Wiped out my phantom soldiers instantly. That's a powerful bear. (Turns to Igris) You're up, Igris.

Igris then started to march over into the battlefield with his sword in hand. The ice bear alpha growled fiercely at Igris and proceeded to charge directly at him. The ice bear slammed its claws down creating a dust cloud of snow, we see Igris leaping from the dust cloud and slashed the bear' shoulder. The ice bear roared in pain and turned to slash Igris with its claws but missed due to Igris dodging at such a fast speed. Igris then came down and stabbed his sword into the bear's back and ran down its back creating a massive gash. Igris jumped off the bear and slashed its hind legs causing it to fall on its knees. The ice bear alpha was seen weakened and bloodied, then purple energy emoted on the bear once more indicating the bear was about to unleash an attack, but before it could do so, Igris sliced the ice bear alpha's head off, decapitating it. The severed head flew into the air and landed on the ground next to Dimitri. Dimitri looked at Igris and was surprised to see how he instantly defeated the ice bear with ease.

Dimitri: Alright, if Igris fought me with his sword, I'd definitely be a dead man.

Igris then walked up to Dimitri and then knelt to him. Dimitri then smiled at Igris and placed his hand on his shoulder.

Dimitri: Great work.

The group were seen looking surprised at how powerful Dimitri's phantom, Igris, was while seeing him kneel to Dimitri while Dimitri's phantom army regenerated.

Usopp: Dimitri's phantom can regenerate?

Nami: Yeah, and Igris took out that bear in just seconds.

Ashton: Yeah, but it's a good thing that Igris is on our side, otherwise we'd be dead.

Poison Ivy: Agreed.

Harley: But hey, we got a powerful badass knight on our team.

Sindel: Now it is time for the third trial.

Dimitri: Just one more thing first.

Dimitri then walked over to the numerous ice bear carcasses which lay across the ground.

Dimitri: Arise.

Suddenly, the corpses were engulfed in a black mist, and phantom bears emerged from the bodies. The phantom bears began to roar loudly. Dimitri smiled, pleased to have new additions to his phantom army. A portal opened up, and everyone began to walk through it. Upon exiting the portal, Dimitri found himself in a vast desert. The scorching sun beat down on the golden sands, and in the distance, he spotted a massive army of a hundred green orcs, their armor gleaming with malice. Seeing them stand their ground, Dimitri's lips curled into a smile, anticipating the thrill of the impending battle. He raised his hand, and his phantom army emerged alongside him phantom knights, phantom exorcists, phantom mages, and phantom ice bears, all standing together in a formidable formation. Igris stood beside Dimitri, ready for the fight, while Dimitri rode on the phantom ice bear alpha.

Dimitri: (Looks at the phantom ice bear alpha) You know, I'm gonna call you Tank. (draws out his sword) Let's go. Charge!

With a fierce battle cry, the phantom soldiers surged forward, their ethereal forms glinting in the harsh sunlight. At the same time, the hulking orcs roared and raced into the fray, their war drums echoing like thunder. The ground trembled as these two formidable forces hurtled toward each other, the thrill of imminent clash crackling in the air. It was a moment charged with adrenaline, as the two sides prepared to collide in a spectacular display of power and fury. The battlefield erupted into chaos as the orcs and Dimitri's phantom army clashed with a deafening roar. Swords clanged, maces crashed, and the air was filled with the sounds of battle. Phantom ice bears barreled through the ranks, trampling and mauling orcs with savage ferocity. Phantom exorcist angels clashed their weapons with the orcs, their blades slicing through the air with deadly precision, while phantom knights charged headlong into the enemy, their armor shining like beacons of hope. Dimitri rode atop Tank, the massive ice bear alpha, who serves as one of his phantom soldiers, who charged through the battlefield with unstoppable force. Tank's powerful paws crushed orcs beneath him. Dimitri swung his sword with lethal grace, cutting down any orc foolish enough to challenge him. As the battle raged on, the phantom mages unleashed torrents of elemental fury, their spells lighting up the battlefield with bursts of fire, lightning, and ice. The orcs fought back with primal rage, their axes and clubs swinging wildly, but they were no match for the combined might of Dimitri's phantom army. In the thick of the fight, Igris moved like a shadow, his sword flashing with deadly intent. He cut down orcs left and right, his movements a blur of precision and power. Dimitri watched his warriors with pride, knowing they would not falter.

Dimitri: (Riding on Tank, eyes blazing with determination) We fight with honor and strength! Show them no mercy!

The clash of titans continued, the desert sands stained with the blood of battle. Dimitri's phantom army fought with unyielding resolve, their spectral forms a testament to their master's power. The orcs, though fierce and numerous, began to falter under the relentless onslaught. The air was thick with dust and the acrid smell of battle, and the sun blazed overhead, casting long shadows over the battlefield. Dimitri and his allies pressed on, their victory seemingly within reach. The group stood at a safe distance, their eyes glued to the epic battle unfolding before them. Ashton held his phone steady, capturing every intense moment on video.

Angel: I have to admit, this is the greatest show on earth.

Vaggie: You know, I just noticed, the more phantoms Dimitri extracts, the stronger his army becomes.

Sindel: That shows that he will reach his true potential as the Phantom Monarch.
The others continued to watch in awe as Dimitri led his phantom army with unmatched skill and determination. The air was thick with the sounds of clashing swords, roars of battle, and the electrifying energy of magic spells. Suddenly, a loud thump echoed across the battlefield, and the ground began to shake violently. Dimitri's eyes narrowed as he looked into the distance, spotting a massive orc giant towering over the battlefield, wielding two giant warhammers. The orc giant let out a thundering roar, its powerful voice resonating throughout the desert and sending shivers down the spines of those who heard it. The group watched in shock, their expressions a mix of awe and fear.

Blitzo: That kid is gonna be fucked.

Charlie: Don't say that. Dimitri will be able to beat this thing. (Looks at Dimitri in concern) I hope.

Despite the intimidating presence of the orc giant, Dimitri remained unfazed. He looked at the colossal creature and smiled, his confidence and determination shining through.
Dimitri: (Looks at the giant with a smirk) Well, more fun for the fight.
Riding atop Tank, the phantom ice bear alpha, Dimitri raised his sword high and shouted to his troops.

Dimitri: Forward! Show them the might of the Phantom Monarch!

Tank let out a deafening roar and charged toward the giant, Dimitri holding on tightly. The ground trembled beneath their powerful strides as they closed the distance to the orc giant. The battlefield was a chaotic symphony of clashing weapons, roaring beasts, and the crackling energy of spells. The orc giant swung its massive warhammer, aiming to crush Dimitri and Tank in one powerful blow. Dimitri's eyes blazed with determination as he guided Tank to dodge the attack with incredible agility. The giant's warhammer struck the ground, sending a shockwave that shook the entire battlefield. Dimitri leaped off Tank, landing on the warhammer, and proceeded to run up the giant's arm. The orc giant raised its other hand to swat Dimitri away, but Dimitri jumped, evading the attack, and landed on the other arm. He continued to run up the arm, heading for the orc's face. Dimitri delivered a powerful punch, making the giant roar in both pain and fury as it tried to shake him off. Meanwhile, Dimitri's phantom army attacked the orc giant's legs, trying to bring it down. The knights and exorcist angels slashed at the giant's legs, creating gashes. The attempts only fueled the orc giant's anger, causing it to let out a tremendous roar that pushed Dimitri's forces away and sent Dimitri flying into the air, caught in the giant's grip. The giant brought Dimitri up to its face level and began to tighten its grip, attempting to crush him. Dimitri struggled and strained against the pressure, his comrades watching in worry from a distance. Wincing in pain, Dimitri looked up at the giant's face.

Dimitri: Igris!

Igris appeared, running up the giant's leg and chest before leaping up to the orc giant's face and stabbing its left eye. The orc roared in pain, releasing Dimitri as it clutched its eye. Dimitri fell from thousands of feet, about to hit the ground when suddenly a light blue aura surrounded him. His eyes shot open, glowing light blue. Dimitri let out a powerful shout as energy flowed around him. From his back, energy formed large blue and black wings, which opened and flapped, allowing Dimitri to soar into the air at lightning speed.

He floated in the air, facing the orc giant. The others watched in shock and awe.

Jessica: What just happened?

Sindel: It's quite obvious. What you are witnessing is a monarch's awakening.

A-Bomb: Awakening?

Ashton: I think she means Dimitri unlocked his monarch powers' true potential.
Dimitri faced the giant, his new wings beating powerfully. The orc giant swung one of its warhammers at him, but Dimitri sliced the hammer in half with a single slash of his sword. He then flew toward the orc giant, which raised its second hammer to slam him into the ground. Dimitri countered with a slash that sliced off the giant's arm, causing it to roar in pain.Dimitri ascended into the air, raising his sword high before descending at incredible speed. He delivered a powerful downward slash, and for a moment, the orc giant seemed unfazed. Then, it split in half and collapsed to the ground, dead. Dimitri then floated to the ground, his wings unfurled and glowing with a majestic aura. He stood victorious, surveying the battlefield. His gaze turned to the lifeless bodies of the orcs and the orc giant, a determined look in his eyes.

Dimitri: Arise.

A swirling black mist began to emanate from the bodies, enveloping them in an eerie shroud. From the depths of the mist, phantom versions of the orcs and the orc giant emerged, their forms translucent and ghostly, yet radiating power. They stood before Dimitri, their new master.

Dimitri then approached the phantom soldier of the orc giant, his presence commanding and authoritative.

Dimitri: From this moment forward, your name is Thrak.

The newly named Thrak bowed in acknowledgment, ready to serve his monarch. The group ran over to Dimitri, their expressions a mix of awe and admiration as they took in his new wings.

Ashton: Those new wings look pretty badass.

Daphne: We didn't know you could do that.

Dimitri: Neither did I.

Sindel stepped forward, her gaze steady and proud.

Sindel: And that you have done well, but you have one last challenger to face. My daughter, Kitana.

Dimitri turned to see Kitana approaching, her bladed fans gleaming in the light, a determined look on her face.

Dimitri: One more fight, huh? Fine by me.

Dimitri then stood in a fighting pose while giving Kitana the move to go first. Kitana then charged at Dimitri and swung her fans at Dimitri trying to slash him while he dodged the slashed, Dimitri then did a kick which sent her a few feet back. Dimitri then came towards him and threw some punches with Kitana dodging some but got hit by one knocking her down which she got up and came at him delivering a kick which Dimitri moved to the side while leg sweeping her to the ground. Kitana then looked up at Dimitri.

Kitana: Why can't I hit you?

Dimitri: Throughout this fight I was able to observe your movement and fighting style. So I know all your moves better than you do. (Sees Kitana readying for a hit) For example, you tend to drop your right guard, like that.

Dimitri then blocked Kitana's hit and countered with a kick, he then saw her holding her fans out.

Dimitri: And you always flare your fans whenever you're going for a throw, like that.

Dimitri then threw two power fists which knocked Kitana's fans out of her hands. Dimitri then came at Kitana and grabbed her arm, throwing her into the ground.

Kitana: You might know my moves but I feel you don't know yours as well as you think.

Dimitri: I'll take that bet. See, whenever I'm in a serious situation I tend to improvise. Especially when I'm in the desert.

Kitana then came towards Dimitri while Dimitri was on a knee, behind his back we see Dimitri scooping up some sand in his hand. When Kitana came to Dimitri, he threw sand in her face which got in her eyes blinding her while she groaned in pain while rubbing her eyes. Dimitri then seized the opportunity and swepkicked her, causing her to fall to the ground while Dimitri pinned her down while everyone watched in awe to see Dimitri had beaten her. Kitana looked up and noticed Dimitri holding his hand out to her.

Dimitri: That was a fun fight.

Kitana looked at Dimitri and then took his hand while he helped her up on her feet.

Kitana: I have to say you are a powerful warrior.

Dimitri: I train everyday, so I can be strong.

Sindel: Well done, you have proven that you are worthy.

Daphne: Worthy of being a monarch?

Sindel: Worthy for my daughter.

A-Bomb: Wait, what?

Sindel: You see the trials were to not only see if Dimitri can prove himself as a monarch but also as a suitor for Kitana.

Usopp: Okay, hold on. I got as far as the whole Dimitri is worthy to be a monarch, but now you completely lost me.

Ashton: I think it's pretty obvious. Sindel set up this entire thing just to see if Dimitri was a perfect match for Kitana.

A-Bomb: So you mean this whole thing was some weird way of playing matchmaker?

Ashton: Yep.

Sindel: I was told about Dimitri and wanted to see how his strength and worth was to Kitana.

Daphne: But who told you about Dimitri?
