I love the comments for the last chapter. And no sarcasm was used for that line. Anyways, let's jump into this chapter. *takes out several bottles of Mt. Dew.* Need my caffeine for the writing.

Lo's and Nin's/Dëm's and Crea's POV

The next morning, Nin and I didn't waste any time as we entered the hospital room which now housed two hospital beds.

"For long periods of gaming," I said pointing to the IV bags with the lime green liquid, "This contains all the nutrients the body needs."

Nin nods getting into the bed on the left as I set himself with the IV as he slowly closed his eyes letting his conscience drift into the game. I jumped into the hospital bed on the other side fixing my IV as I laid down on the bed immediately waking up in the forest of the game.

-In Game-

I looked over noticing Blue was gone as I sighed getting up and cracked my neck. A window opens up with Nin's avatar, Crea, on it.

"Hey Dëm," Crea said smiling as his black ninja mask covered his nose and jawline, "Like the avatar?"

"Yes," I said smiling, "Where are you at? I'm in the middle of the Fa Forest."

"I'm in the castle town of Gailen," Crea said, "Less then one mile from the forest."

"Alright, meet up at the entrance/exit of the forest?" I said with Crea nodding, "Alright see you there."

The screen disappears as my angel and demon wing appeared. Taking flight, I headed for the Gailen's forest exit. Crea, on the other hand, ran with ninja like speed towards the forest. Arriving at the location at the same exact time, Crea and I looked at each other's character design.

"Seems like Cosmic has done its job properly," Crea commented at the warrior style outfit of mine. Then, he hands my a data pack with the word "Flare" on it.

"Thanks for saving my old profile and power from the other game," I said opening up the character development screen for myself uploading the data pack into my profile.

"No problem," Crea said, "Any Alphas yet?"

"Actually, I meet a particular alpha called Blue," I said as we walked towards the rural city of Gailen, "He must be the Avatar of Aura."

"Interesting, you must have fought him?" Crea questioned as I chuckled.

"Fought would be an understatement, we only used weaponry and it was a five-minute fight," I said, "But he fell asleep next to me when I logged off."

Crea nods a bit as we sat on a bench in the Gailen Park. We began thinking as Crea and I hear commotion bring us out of our thoughts. We looked at each other then took off towards the commotion. We noticed the encirclement of people as I frowned immediately sensing Blue's aura.

"He's here and he's not alone..." I said with Crea nodding.

Blue's and Mewtwo's POV

Blue and Mewtwo had entered the game early on being able to wake up very early in the real world. They were on a mission for Gailen. Their target: a legendary creature known as the Dragon of Storms.

"Damn you and your Psychic Prowess, Mewtwo!" Blue screams as a purple outlined Mewtwo floated/flew next to Blue. Mewtwo's clothes were a vibrant light purple color as he carried a sword sheath that hummed with psychic energy. He couldn't help but laughed at Blue's comment.

"Sorry dude," Mewtwo said as he looks up seeing the mountain with the unnatural storm clouds encircling the tip of it, "Heads-up!"

Blue looked up as he and Mewtwo stopped at on the hilltop overlooking the plains. Whistling, Blue smiles at Mewtwo.

"This mission might tip the power scale in our favor if we complete it for then next time we meet the Alpha of Heaven and Hell," Blue said as Mewtwo nodded. They continued on as they began climbing the mountain. Well, Mewtwo just carried Blue up the mountain with his psychic energy. Landing on the rock platform, Blue and Mewtwo looked up at the massive cave entrance. They slowly proceed into the cave immediately feeling the dampness of water around the cave.

"So, this dragon must be powerful enough to conjure up storm clouds outside when it's sunny," Mewtwo said with Blue nodding.

"It's rumored to have control over Wind, Water, and Electric elements so we need to be extremely cautious," Blue said with Mewtwo nodding. They stopped in their tracks when a ferocious dragon roar exploded passed them exiting the cave, "Damn, that's one mighty roar!"

Blue's voice could be barely heard; however, Mewtwo nodded as they sprinted towards the Dragon's Lair. Upon arrival, they noticed the different colored crystals as each radiated a different element. Blue took one step immediately being knocked back by a thunder orb crashing into the ground coughing slightly.

"Blue!" Mewtwo screamed running over to help him. A stormy grey dragon growled launching a thunder orb at Mewtwo who launched a Psychic Energy Sphere causing a mini explosion with collision. Blue's body sparks with electricity showing he had paralysis.

"Damn..." Blue coughed out being helped up by Mewtwo as Blue chuckled a bit, "This one will be hard but fun."

Mewtwo healed Blue with a Paralysis Heal Potion as Blue smiled.

"Thanks Mewtwo, now give me cover," Blue said taking on a runner's stance. Mewtwo pulled out twin pistols as he began firing hundreds of purple psychic energy bullets. Blue's aura ignites as he then sprinted towards the dragon with his arm being enveloped in ocean blue aura. Focusing his power, an arm blade of aura formed as Blue's body was then silhouetted by the ocean blue aura except for his eyes which were now glowing a ferocious red.

"Aura Skill: Arm Slash of Aura!" Blue screamed jumping into the air on the dragon's left side as Mewtwo teleported to the dragon's right side. Unshesthing the blade, it ignites with psychic energy as Mewtwo poured more into it creating a thinner much longer energy blade.

"Sword Skill: Psychotic Psychic Slash!" Mewtwo screamed as he and Blue slashed in a downwards motion perfectly in sync as they cut through the dragon's neck. Landing on one knee, the dragon's neck, where it was cut, glowed blue and purple with the dragon's head falling onto the ground.

"OH HELL YEAH!" Mewtwo and Blue triumphantly screamed as their bodies glowed their signature colors signaling they leveled up. Mewtwo and Blue checked their stats seeing they were level five as they smirked.

"Let's head back," Mewtwo said running back as Blue laughed.

"Oh now you run?!" Blue said chasing after Mewtwo. After a while, they entered Gailen handing the leader the dragon's head.

"Y-you've defeat the dragon?!" The leader exclaimed taking the head with awe. Mewtwo and Blue nodded smiling happily.

"Thank you!" The leader screamed as the whole town, except for two males that sat in the park, heard as they began crowding Blue and Mewtwo with showers of excitement.

"Aww shucks," Mewtwo said embarrassed but kindly, "It was n-"

Mewtwo's eyes spark up sensing incredible power. Blue frowns also feeling the energy.

"He's here... The one of Heaven and Hell," Blue said.

No One's POV

Crea and Dëm stopped when the crowd looked at them with smug looks.

"Two weaklings walking into our proud town especially when we celebrating the death of the Dragon of Storms," one member of the town said. Blue smirked as Dëm's energy then ignited in pulses scaring the person that spoke.

"That energy?!" The leader said taken aback in slight fear. Dëm smirked chuckling slightly.

"Blue, see you survived," Dëm said sensing Blue's energy as his disappeared. Blue nodded stepping out of the crowd with a guy wearing a vibrant purple shirt with lines drawn in different directions emulating a circuit board with his pants being a lighter shade of purple. The guy resembled the kid Dëm met IRL.

"Who's your friend?" Dëm asks as Blue smiles.

"This is Mewtwo, Alpha Avatar of Psychic Prowess," Blue said as the avatar smiled, "See you brought someone."

"I'm Crea, Alpha Avatar of Shadowy Torrent," Crea said introducing himself. Crea wore ninja clothes with slight fighter touches here and there. He wore fingerless gloves which were solid black as well as blue combat sneakers.

"I've heard of you two," Mewtwo said, "You two did the tournament for the first VR game as the..."

"Grim Knights," Crea and Dëm said with frowns on their faces.

"You mean those two are the team known for the desolation of the competition?" Blue said with slight awing. Crea and Dëm smirked slightly.

"And that is why I told you I see levels as numbers on a screen," Dëm said to Blue as Blue looked at Dëm wide eyed noticing the sky darkening with Dëm's power appearing, "that I measure an avatar by the skills they can bring to the table."

Dëm's smile flashes demon's teeth as he eyes the two Alphas of Aura and Psychic Prowess. Dëm's aura then calms down to a flame behavioral manner as Blue smiles.

"That's your big speech... Let's go to a more open field and we'll settle this: two on two," Blue said, "Grim Knights Vs. Psychotic Aura."

Crea and Dëm nodded as four individuals wearing cloaks watched the entire scenario. The leader, being a massive buff guy, smiled underneath the cloak.

"The Grim Knights are here?" He said, "how fortunate?"

The other three snickered as they disappeared waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

-A little while later-

Crea, Blue, Mewtwo, and Dëm arrived at a plains that had open room for combat of any kind. Mewtwo and Blue took one side while Crea and Dëm stayed on the other.

"No rules, fight at your most strongest," Blue said as Mewtwo had his hand on the sword hilt. Crea took on a fighter stance while Dëm took on a swordsman stance resting his hand on the black sword hilt. Blue smiled then rushed towards Crea while Mewtwo ran towards Dëm.

Crea jumped into the air over Blue's aura infused fist while Dëm's blade immediately blocked Mewtwo's psychic energy blade. Crea threw a foot down in to the back of Blue's head launching him away. Grabbing Mewtwo, Dëm spun him around quickly launching a small black beam at close range sending him towards Blue.

Crashing into each other, Blue and Mewtwo hit the ground groaning as Crea and Dëm began roaring releasing waves of dark energy as Dëm's style changes from swordsman to fighter.

"Can you keep up old friend," Crea said watching Mewtwo and Blue scramble to their feet.

"Let's find out!" Dëm screamed as his and Crea's eyes turn solid black.

"Team Skill: SHADOW COMBAT STRIKE!!!" Crea and Dëm screamed immediately disappearing as Mewtwo's and Blue's eyes widen.

"What th-" They both attempted to scream but were cut short when Dëm's and Crea's fists both struck them in their gut regions as Mewtwo and Blue then were assaulted with in-synced, dark energy-infused fist strikes. Dëm's and Crea's legs glowed black ending the assault with a kick to their heads launching the Alpha Avatars of Psychic Prowess and Aura flying then they crashed into the ground.

"Holy..." Mewtwo groaned getting up along with Blue as they noticed they were outlined with black energy.

"We're cursed!?!" They screamed looking up at Crea and Dëm who had smirks. Mewtwo attempts to grab his pistol noticing the difficulty in moving his body.

"The curse of Body Restriction," Crea said with his hands in his pockets, "Usage in body movement becomes more difficult the longer the afflicted attempts to use their body."

"D-damn..." Blue said as he sighs smiling, "W-we admit defeat."

Crea and Dëm smiled releasing the curse as Mewtwo and Blue chuckled getting up walking over to us. Just as Mewtwo and Blue were about to shake our hands, four colored orbs: emitting fire, water, electricity, and earth energy, came rushing towards us. Crea and Dëm sensed the energy coming towards them tackling Mewtwo and Blue to the ground as the orbs flew over.

"Damn that was close," The male said as he and three others walked out. Crea and Dëm looked over at the group frowning.

"Who did that?" Crea asks as the four removed their cloaks. Dëm's and Crea's eyes widen seeing the four.

"Remember us Grim Knights?" The male, wearing green Earth warrior clothing, said.

"Terran, Flarius, Sparks, Torre," Dëm said, "The Holy Elementals."

"That is right," Torre said. She wore Water warrior clothes having hilts that resembled sharks as well as having light blue hair and solid blue eyes. For a fish elf, she didn't look too bad. Crea and Dëm growled getting up.

"I thought we destroyed you four in the tournament with the Darkus Beam!" Dëm exclaims as his power surges out in anger.

"You did but someone on the outside helped revive our avatars," Sparks said. He wore yellow clothing that had the same circuit board design as Mewtwo's but electricity could be seen flowing through it giving the live wire appearance and was very light in weight. The four held out their arms as white Omega symbols could be seen.

"Omega Testers?!" Crea, Mewtwo, Blue, and Dëm screamed in shock. Omega testers were avatars like Alpha testers but they only had one purpose: Destroy Alpha Passed Avatars.

"So you see," Flarius said as he wore red and black armor that was determined to be balance through Blue's eyes, "We're here for one thing: To erase the Grim Knights.'

"LIKE HELL YOU ARE!!!!" Crea and Dëm screamed as they rushed towards the Holy Elementals. Terron and Flarius rushed towards them engaging in hand to hand combat. After blocking the punches from Dëm and Crea, much to their surprise, Terran and Flarius knocked back the two as they crashed into the ground.

"What the hell..." Crea coughed out as Dëm rose up slowly onto his feet. Blue rushed over to Crea while Mewtwo rushed over to Dëm helping us back onto our feet.

"They waited till we were weak..." Dëm panted out with a small trail of blood dripping out of his mouth.

"Let us heal you two," Mewtwo said as Dëm growls reluctantly nodding. Mewtwo's eyes narrowed at the Holy Elementals as his eyes showed silent rage.

"Thanks," Dëm said standing next to Mewtwo showing the same intense anger. Crea and Blue did the same as Dëm's gray and red aura, Crea's black and blue aura, Blue's oceanic blue with hints of red aura, and Mewtwo's purple aura then flared up in sync.

"You want a fight...." Dëm said as the Holy Elementals were taken aback.

"This power..." Flarius said.

"...you got a fight," Crea said as lightning then struck the ground.

"HERE GOES, ELEMENTALS!!!!" Crea, Blue, Mewtwo, and Dëm screamed as the Holy Elementals took on a stance. The four of them (being Crea, Mewtwo, Blue, and Dëm) began surging their power in a charging/transformation stance. Their roars being in synced as Dëm smiles.

"DemonicAngel's Flaming Rage!" Dëm roars deeply as his hair turns to a fiery gray with his clothes becoming super lightweight with his angel and demon wing disappearing but keeping the ability of flight.

"Dark Torrential Force!" Crea screamed as his shadowy energy then fused in with his water energy. A black shuriken appears on his back as his clothes blended into clothes that a ninja, warrior, or a fighter would wear. His eyes changing to a dark blue resembling a lifeless frog.

"Aura..." Blue began saying.

"Psychic..." Mewtwo then said.

"EVOLUTION!!!!" Blue and Mewtwo howled as their eyes exploded with energy (not literally). Blue's eyes releasing red energy while Mewtwo's eyes released purple energy. Mewtwo's clothes changed into a fusion of fighter and swordsman being extremely lightweight. Blue's clothing; however, changed into a fusion between a paladin and fighter. Both of their energies surging to new heights as the smiled.

"No way..." The Holy Elementals said slightly in awe and fear.

"This is everything we have," Crea said taking on a different stances.

"Now bear witness..." Mewtwo said taking on a swordsman stance placing his hand on the ground with the other hand on the sword hilt.

"To true power..." Blue said grabbing a bladed staff as his aura then flares straight into the weapon creating an energy shield around the blade making it sharper and thinner.

"That dwells within..." Dëm said unsheathing a gray energy katana as the energy blade exploded with fiery energy.

"THE FOUR ALPHA HORSEMEN!" Crea, Mewtwo, Blue, and Dëm screamed.

Terran and Flarius smirked going after Dëm and Mewtwo as Dëm and Mewtwo looked at each other rushing towards the Earth and Fire Warriors. Mewtwo unsheathed his psychic energy blade as it roars alive with raw psychic energy making it more powerful. Mewtwo and Dëm began striking Terran and Flarius with sophisticated sword strikes following it up with punches or kicks.

"You two are ours!" Torre screamed as she and Sparks rushed towards Crea and Blue who leaped back engaging the Electricity and Water Warriors in close combat. Crea and Blue smirked.

"Team Skill: Fist of Shadowy Aura!" Crea and Blue screamed blocking their opponents' fists as Crea's and Blue's fists glowed a shadowy blue hissing with dark aura. They began retaliating with more strength and quickness as they punched Torre and Sparks with power equaling that of someone getting hit by a bus. Torre and Sparks flew quickly slamming into the ground. Dëm and Mewtwo were in the air swordplaying against Terran and Flarius who used platforms made of their signature elements.

"Team Skill: Flaming Earth Dragon!" Terran and Flarius roared summoning a dragon of Chinese Culture. Roaring its battle cry, the dragon flew towards Dëm and Mewtwo.

"TEAM SKILL...!" Mewtwo and Dëm screamed as Dëm's fiery gray and Mewtwo's purple aura blended into one as they synced up with their blades, "UNHOLY PSYCHIC SWORD SLASH!!!"

Mewtwo and Dëm began slashing in sophisticated directions launching slash waves of gray and purple energy as they cut through the dragon. Hesitating for a second or two, Terran and Flarius watched as Dëm and Mewtwo began flying towards them with their blades releasing tons of dark heavenly and psychic energy. Slashing them horizontally. Terran and Flarius crashed into Torre and Sparks as the four of them crashed into the ground.

"Had enough?" Dëm asks as he and Mewtwo landed next to Blue and Crea barely having scratches on them. Terran growled with the other three as they rose to their feet showing life threatening injuries.

"You won't win!!!" Terran screams as he glowed green, Torre glowed blue, Sparks glowed yellow, and Flarius glowed red. Each of them charged a ball of their respected element as Crea and Dëm frowned.

"Elemental Beam their ultimate attack..." Dëm said as he began charging a beam of gray energy. Crea also charged a beam of shadow and water energy.

"Let us help too," Mewtwo said with a smirk standing next to Dëm charging a purple beam of psychic energy. Blue stood next to Crea charging his beam of blue aura.

"Team Ultimate: ELEMENTAL BEAM!!!" The Holy Elementals screamed launching their beams as it fused into one beam racing towards Crea, Dëm, Mewtwo, and Blue.

"Team Ultimate: BEAM OF DISCORDED SILENCE!!!" Crea, Blue, Mewtwo and Dëm screamed launching their beams as it collided into one glowing a hazily shiny silver color. The two beams struck causing a crater to begin forming from the ball of energy. We began playing inverse tug of war as we were at a stalemate.

"GIVE THEM HELL!!!!" Crea and Dëm screamed as Mewtwo, Blue, Crea, and Dëm roared with their signature color of energies silhouetting them. Their beam grew to tremendous sizes blowing back the Holy Elemental's beam back causing the four to explode in pure power. The slowly disappears as Crea's, Mewtwo's, Blue's, and Dëm's hands were smoking from the energy being put as an output.

"D-Damn..." Blue said falling to one knee, "We may have just broke the aggro scale with that attack."

Crea and Dëm began laughing hysterically as they smiled.

"That scale disappeared a long time ago my friend," Crea said patting Blue's shoulder smiling, "But that was one hell of an ultimate."

"Agree, let's save the attack for when needed the most," Mewtwo said as the four of them reverted back to normal. Wincing in pain, all four of them began laughing.

"I think we screwed up our avatars' bodies in more ways than one," Dëm said as Blue nodded.

"I think this will be a great team," Blue said.

"Team? I like the idea," Crea said, "What would our team name be?"

"Actually, how about the Alpha Horsemen?" Dëm suggests with the other three nodding.

"For when we meet other Alpha testers," Mewtwo said quizzically.

Dëm nodded smiling as Crea and Blue limped over. Crea and Dëm shook hands with Mewtwo and Blue.

"Let's allow our avatars to heal..." Crea said as the other three nodded. Logging out, the four of us had smiles on our faces as this team and their existence would reach out to far regions of the world.

This is where the true battle begins....

So, the first three chapters were the back story of the Alpha Horsemen and how their team rose to the awareness of other Avatars in the game. For now on, the chapters will involve characters of other people in the Discord Group I'm in.

But anyways, shout out to the three Originals that were used for this story. They've became really great friends to me over the years and I can say that they were angels heaven sent when I was at my lowest during my senior year of high school. Hopefully, our friendships will keep on thriving till we finally meet IRL.

Hope to write more soon... Peace out Wattpad Community! *disappears*
