Crimson Reality
In the climactic battle between Crimson Devil Lucas and the formidable Ethan, the fate of humanity hung in the balance.
Crimson Devil Lucas, despite his wounds and nearing the end of his strength, declared with unwavering determination, "I don't think I'll die so soon, Ethan... I'll use every last bit of my Encro in this sword, for this slash will tear you apart..."
Ethan, equally resolute and undaunted, countered, "Don't be deceived by my wounds, for these burns can't hurt me at all. I'll right here, right now, finish you in order to protect humanity."
The tension in the air was palpable as both combatants prepared for their final clash.
Crimson Devil Lucas unleashed his ultimate technique, roaring, "Crimson Flame Slash!"
Ethan, with his divine powers at their peak, countered with the resplendent "Heavenly Blast!"
The ensuing collision of power was cataclysmic, shaking the very foundations of their world. The battle raged on with an intensity that defied imagination.
And when the dust settled, it was Ethan who emerged victorious. His unwavering resolve and indomitable spirit had prevailed. For his heroism and dedication to protecting humanity, he was bestowed with the title of Encromite Star.
The battle had been extreme, pushing both warriors to their limits and beyond, and the world would forever remember the intensity of that fateful encounter.
[AT RYAN’S HOUSE]
Ryan and Amelia sat together, reminiscing about a story from the past.
Ryan: "Do you think this story really happened?"
Amelia nodded, a wistful smile playing on her lips. "Yep, it's true. That happened like 32 years ago. Lucas was the toughest and meanest guy around."
Ryan's eyes lit up with determination. "I'm gonna be even stronger than the Encromite Star."
Amelia gave him an encouraging pat on the back. "Wow, that's ambitious! But, you know, he had something special about him."
Ryan didn't falter. "Yeah, but it's not like it's impossible, right? I'm turning sixteen soon, and I'll be getting my Encro Orb."
Amelia wished him well, her voice filled with support. "Good luck with that then!"
Ryan was surprised by her sudden change in tone. "Huh? What's with the switch?"
Amelia's eyes sparkled with belief. "Well, if you're aiming to be stronger than the Encromite Star, then count me in. I totally believe in you."
Ryan felt touched by her faith in him. "Thanks, Amelia."
Amelia continued with a lesson from their childhood. "You know, making people happy makes you strong. But making them sad? That's a surefire way to feel weak."
Ryan nodded, remembering her constant reminders. "Yeah, yeah, I know. You've been drilling that into my head since forever."
Amelia emphasized the importance of these values. "Well, it's something you should always remember. It'll guide you through tough times."
Ryan, somewhat resistant, muttered to himself, "And here we go again."
Amelia made sure he was paying attention. "Are you listening?"
Ryan relented, smiling affectionately. "Yeah, yeah, I hear you. Guided by this, guided by that. But honestly, all I care about is you. You've been looking out for me since Mom and Dad passed away when I was just a small kid and could'nt even speak correctly. I want to repay you for that someday."
Amelia replied, "You think too much, you know that?"
Ryan looked at her with sincerity. "Huh?"
Amelia's smile softened as she expressed her feelings. "Just promise me you'll always be like this, Ryan. I love you. And I'll be cheering you on every step of the way towards your goal."
[ AT ENCRO RESEARCH LAB ]
The Encro Researcher addressed the group with anticipation, announcing that everyone would receive their respective Encro Orbs that day. But what exactly was an Encro Orb? It was a spherical object containing potent energy, specifically designed to facilitate the utilization of the mystical force known as Encro. Remarkably, there were seven distinct types of Encro Orbs, each aligned with a unique elemental attribute: Hydro Orb, Flame Orb, Ice Orb, Wind Orb, Thunder Orb, Crystal Orb, and Earth Orb.
The distribution of these orbs would be based on the individuals' genetic makeup, ensuring that each recipient received the most compatible Encro Orb. As there were 150 young participants in the event, a total of 150 Encro Orbs had been launched into the air. These orbs would ultimately find their rightful owners, guided by the inherent genetic markers of each individual. The excitement in the air was palpable as everyone eagerly awaited the orbs to make their way to their destined bearers.

RYAN: Hey, Arlo, you weirdo!
ARLO: What's your deal?

ARLO: Are you sure?
[At the battlefield behind the Encro Research Lab]
RANDOM PERSON: Do you honestly think you stand a chance against someone favored by Encro?
ANOTHER RANDOM PERSON: Kid, just go home. You're out of your league here.
ENCRO RESEARCHER: Hmm, this guy's orb looks different. The Flame Orb isn't supposed to have that color.
RYAN: I'll take you down with my Flame Encro.
HATED BY ENCRO
In the midst of their heated confrontation, Ryan summoned the fury of his Flame Art, declaring, "Flame Art, Attack Style, Majestic Flame Slash!" Every ounce of his Encro was channeled into his sword, intensifying the blaze. [ Sword created by his encro. ]
Arlo, his opponent, noted the intensity of Ryan's focus, realizing that this attack was unlike any other. He braced himself for what was to come.
As Ryan unleashed the devastating technique, Arlo couldn't help but notice something peculiar. The flames were not the usual hue but a deep crimson, signifying the extraordinary power behind this strike.
Ryan bellowed, "Face this!" with all the strength he could muster.
However, Arlo, quick-witted and agile, managed to evade the attack gracefully. He seemed to disappear into thin air, leaving the spectators in awe.
Random onlookers marveled at the spectacle. "He just vanished with the wind!" "How cool!"

Ryan, perplexed by Arlo's sudden disappearance, scanned his surroundings frantically. "Where did he vanish?"
But before he could react, Arlo initiated his counterattack with a well-placed "Ambush!" "Behind you..."
Ryan turned just in time to witness Arlo's Wind Vortex, a powerful technique that left him immobilized.
The crowd continued to express their admiration. "Arlo is too good!" "Wind Vortex was amazing!"
Arlo, seizing the advantage, decided to bring the battle to a close. He chanted, "Let's end this, Wind Art! Attack Style! Wind Arrow!"
However, Ryan refused to give in. His determination burned brighter than ever. He roared, "There's no way I'm gonna lose! Flame Art! Attack Style! Sword Dance!"
The stage was set for an epic showdown between these two formidable Encro Orb wielders, each pushing their limits to emerge victorious in this battle of elements and wits.

LOVED BY ENCRO
RYAN&ARLO ALMOST DEFEATED BY NOAH.
RYAN: MAJESTIC FLAMES
ARLO: WIND TORNADO
[ Ryan's crimson flames were infused with the wind. ]
NOAH: (NORMAL HYDRO ATTACKS WON’T AFFECT IT THAT MUCH. IT’S AN ENCRO REACTION. THE FLAMES HAVE BEEN BOOSTED BY THE WIND TORNADO. MY HYDRO ATTACKS WILL BE VAPORIZED BY THE FLAMES AND THE WINDS. THE BEST ATTACK IS)
HYDRO ART! ATTACK STYLE! HYDRO RESONANCE!!!

NOAH: BUT STILL, I THINK YOU SHOULD BE SPARED. IT’S ONLY BECAUSE OF ARLO AM LEAVING YOU, YOUR ONE CRIME AND I’LL KILL YOU…
In a moment of introspection, Ryan couldn't help but be awed by the astonishing strength displayed by those around him. The recent encounter with a Vice Captain had left him humbled, realizing that he had fallen short in his abilities. A burning desire ignited within him, fueling his aspiration to ascend the ranks of power and surpass not only the Captain of the Scouts but also the very monarch of the Encromite Kingdom. Ultimately, his ultimate aim was to transcend even the mightiest force known to them all—the awe-inspiring Encromite Star.
With unwavering resolve, Ryan proclaimed his fervent aspiration to ascend to a level of strength that would eclipse even the formidable might of the legendary Encromite Star, casting his declaration with a dramatic flair that left no doubt about his determination.
In the wake of Ryan's bold proclamation, all eyes were fixed upon him, the weight of his words hanging heavily in the air. A hushed silence enveloped the onlookers, save for Noah, who, seemingly unfazed, calmly began to make his way toward his secret sanctuary.
Noah's departure was marked by an enigmatic parting shot. With a subtle yet piercing grin, he turned back to Ryan and uttered a cryptic remark: "You speak as though it's an achievable feat."
Ryan's resolve remained unshaken. With unwavering determination, he replied, "I solemnly swear that one day, I will win in a one-on-one battle against you!"
Noah left with that same enigmatic smile, leaving behind an atmosphere charged with anticipation and the unspoken promise of a future clash that would be nothing short of epic.
The Encro Researcher's voice reverberated with authority as they took control of the situation.
"Listen up, everyone! This is no time for idle chatter or distractions. The Encro Scouts Selection Ceremony looms on the horizon, a mere two months away. It's your opportunity to seize, to prove yourselves worthy of selection. But let me make one thing abundantly clear: the only way forward is through strength. So, prepare yourselves, push your limits, and become the formidable candidates I know you can be. This is your moment!"
RYAN: ( IT’S JUST TWO MONTHS, IN TWO MONTHS I’LL BE AN OFFICIAL SCOUT. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS TO LEARN HOW TO USE MY ENCRO. )
Amelia encouraged Ryan, saying, "Come on, Ryan, have your lunch. If you don't eat, how will you grow?"
Ryan replied, "I'll eat later, don't worry about me. Just a bit more concentration training. Encro power increases with concentration, breathing, and muscle strength, you know."
Amelia expressed concern, "You've been training since you got home, and it's been 7 hours."
Ryan was determined, "I'm fine. I only have two months to get stronger, and there are many people stronger than me. I can't let them surpass me. I have to become stronger."
Arlo, reflecting on the situation, thought to himself, "I have to wait for two months, huh? It's so boring. Even though I possess the strongest Encro in the world, he was able to defeat me. I suppose I should try to learn to use these Encro abilities in different ways. It's certain that Encro loves me."
[ ENCRO POWER DEPENDS ON THE CONCENTRATION, BREATHING AND MUSCLE STRENGTH OF THE BODY ]
Two months later, the host announced, "The Encro Scouts Selection Ceremony is about to begin. The pairs are ready. This will be a kind of battle tournament. If you lose a fight, you are out of the tournament. There are a total of 360 participants in Round 1, and we have created 30 sets of pairs, with 12 in each set. Four participants from each pair will advance to Round 2, leaving only 120 participants. Then, the pairs will be reshuffled, resulting in 12 different sets of pairs, with 10 participants in each. Only one from each pair will proceed to Round 3, leaving us with just 12 participants. All the scout team captains are present to observe your performance, and we have the best doctors in the world to heal any kind of wound, so don't hold back at all!"
Pairs Set 1:
Arlo vs. James
Liam vs. Elijah
William vs. Henry
Aire vs. Atticus
Theodore vs. Mateo
Ryan vs. Jack
HOST: SET 1 MATCH 1 START!!!
In the heart of the arena, the battle raged as James, a master of ice-based Encro techniques, faced off against Arlo, the wielder of the coveted Wind Orb. Tension filled the air as spectators braced themselves for an electrifying spectacle.
With an emphatic cry, James initiated his attack, unleashing the "Ice Art! Attack Style! Heavenly Blizzard!" A frigid tempest erupted, and the atmosphere seemed to crystallize. The onslaught of icy shards was swift and unrelenting.
But Arlo, undeterred, demonstrated his agility and mastery over the wind element. His form blurred, and he vanished. Gasps of astonishment rippled through the crowd, and the commentator's voice carried the awe of the moment. "He vanished with the wind!"
The audience erupted in cheers and excitement. "WOW! That's great!" "Isn't that the person who got the Wind Orb?"
However, James wasn't about to concede. With heightened awareness, he anticipated Arlo's next move. "Huh? From where will he attack? Behind me!"
Arlo responded with a move that showcased his mastery over wind: the "Wind Vortex." He created a swirling gust beneath him, using it to lift off the ground, defying gravity's grasp. The commentator exclaimed, "He used the Wind Vortex on the ground to fly from the pressure of the wind!" The crowd's admiration knew no bounds. "He's amazing!" "So cool!"
Undeterred, Arlo brandished his Wind Sword, unleashing an "Air Slash" that crackled with the energy of the tempest. James knew he had to act swiftly. "If that hits me, then I'll be done for. I can't use my Encro so quickly. He's too fast. My only option is..."
He tapped into his hidden ability, invoking the "Thick Mist." A mysterious haze enshrouded the arena, thick and impenetrable. "Every orb has its own hidden ability," James mused.
But Arlo, proving his mettle, displayed an uncanny ability. He declared, "It's no use. My eyes can see through the gases."
The referee's voice rang out: "James is unable to battle, Arlo wins!" The crowd erupted in euphoria. "Arlo is damn cool!" "He is amazing!" "Arlo is so handsome!" "His Air Slash was amazing!"
In the wake of their exhilarating duel, the arena was left in awe of the breathtaking display of Encro mastery, each move and countermove etching a vivid memory in the minds of all who witnessed it.
