Maria then challenges Shelda to spar with her what will happen in this spar, found out now on Soul Warrior X.



Maria: Alright Ready Shelda

Maria who was standing across from Shelda it had been less than 24 hours since the Sun Bu incident and the Soul Guardians and like promised Shelda and Maria were going to have their spar while the Kids with Red and Tigera watched on with an anxious look

Mome shouting out: Good luck Shelda

Shelda before starting the fight thinking: Say Lance is it butting in giving me advice on how to fight Maria?

Lance wondering: hm Don't think it would be but I'm still not going to in case she questions it

Shelda: so I guess I have to learn this on my own ......fine [she then took a deep breath saying ] Right

she then went into a fighting stance

Maria looked  ready saying: right then here I go

she then charged right at Shelda who tried to block it with a roundhouse kick however Maria then ducked under it and then delivered a right that  Shelda did not see coming as Shelda felt it she then tried to counter attack with another straightforward kick but then Maria kept dodging them by slightly moving

Shelda kept trying to land a blow thinking: she's so fast

Maria looked confused: um why are you only trying to hit me with kicks and not your hands Shelda?

Shelda apologized: sorry I can't help it

Maria looked curious while still countering: hm guess you Can't however [Maria then quickly moving behind her with Shelda in a state of shock with the young hikings commenting while saying] I can't hold back

she then delivered a hard kick to her back sending Shelda to the wall as she hit it hard at the back of her head to both the kids and Maria's concern

Shelda however just rubbed the back of her head: ow my head

Maria then walked over with concern: Shelda are you ok?

Shelda with a small smile: yeah don't worry I'm fine

the kids and the other Soul Guardians took a sigh of relief

Jester: phew It's a good thing she's got a strong pain fres.....uh

Mome admitted: threshold

G looked at them as he remembered: that's right I forgot that it was the only good thing that wacko Levy gives her right

Red looked curious: hu Levy?

Tigera looking at Mome questioning: Mome who.....wh...is she again?

Mome and Jester looked at their soul Guardians

Mome looking at Tigera: hopefully somebody you'll never meet

back at the Spar

Maria put her hands on her hips: hm that whole thing does explain how you managed to hold on to the Taskmaster for as long as you did Shelda something tells me it takes a lot to put you down right

Shelda: yeah but it still hurts Maria ow

Maria then questioned: can you still go?

Shelda then looked at her: yeah I'm ok to keep going

as she then went into another fighting stance

Maria then shrugged her shoulders: If you say so get ready for Round two Shelda

Shelda then looked ready: right [as she went back into a fighting pose as Maria did the same the kids and their Soul Guardians with that the two of them looked at each other ready to continue Maria then tried to hit a powerful Punch but this time Shelda dodged before trying to strike with a kick to her gut but Maria saw this coming and then ducked below to try to get behind Shelda the latter then turned around and tried to land a kick however Maria caught her leg to a stunned Shelda's surprise Maria then pulled Shelda by her leg forward to hit a vicious elbow shot at Shelda's back however that couldn't keep Shelda down as she thought rubbing her back a little] all of Maria's attacks are back attacks, so if I want to strike her. I need to attack her from her front

Lance: hu nice plan for someone who was a Pacifist before

Shelda: Lance don't distract me when I'm sparring [Shelda then charged at Maria trying to kick her again hardly, however, her opponent then dodged yet again and tried to attack Shelda again from behind as the Soul Warrior half then thought ] there

she then tried to hit a powerful Kick however like last time Maria catches it to Sheldas shock

Maria: two slow

as she then uppercut Shelda sending her flying across the area all the kids and Guardians shouted worried when she landed on the ground

Jester,Mome and G: Shelda !

Shelda then was on her knees in a little bit of pain however she then looked up and saw

Maria who tapped Shelda's forehead with two of her fingers: guess round two also goes to me right [Maria then put both those two fingers into a hand as she was trying to offer it to help Shelda up and asked ] ready for round three

Shelda however just looked down: what's the point?

Maria looked at Shelda with confusion as the latter got up by herself

Maria confused: the point Shelda don't you need more training to help stop this great evil

Shelda then started to cry a little: I know that but.....I just never got why whoever wrote this prophecy down, made me the other Soul Warrior when I don't have the same fighting spirit as everybody else who is like Lance [the kids and their Soul Guardians looked at this with sadness as did Maria as Shelda continued ] there are so many others who could have been the other half like Terra, Mai heck you beat me with two rounds without me even hitting you once [She then looked at herself asking annoyed ] I still don't understand why it's me, why can't I be as perfect at fighting like everyone

Maria: Shelda you're right  your not Perfect [ Shelda looked at Maria with tears in her eyes as  Maria then put her hand on Shelda's shoulder saying ] But then again neither am I

Shelda is confused by this: what are you saying, Maria?

Maria looked at her with a smile: Shelda No one's Perfect if someone says they are then they lied [Maria then looked back at the school that was over the hill saying] I hate that word Perfect, makes whoever says that seem like always better than everybody else I mean there are sixty students and there are more members of staff and I'm sure they got their good traits and bad traits it's what makes us well Human Or Tengouken with the others heck that goes for me remember I let my guard down against both The Anti Warrior and Sun Bu

Shelda looked down simply: that's right you did

Maria then in a sibling-like way: look I maybe the less likely person to ask about why you or Lance have been chosen to be the Soul Warrior but at the same time it's a fact you are, so don't try and be "Perfect" and just be yourself [she then again put her arm on Shelda's shoulder saying] you've got a big heart Shelda I've seen it just try to put these feelings you got into your fighting style just take a deep breath and concentrate

Shelda then looked a little bit happier while saying: your right 'Shelda then slapped herself with both her hands three times before saying] thanks, Maria I needed that

Lance painfully: Ow why did you have to slap three times !?

as both women heard Lance say

Shelda realized what she did: whoops sorry I forgot you still feel the same pain as me

Lance then said annoyed: pff forget it just get back to the fight

Maria just looked embarrassed: I guess even after all these months you still haven't got to use to your job

both  Shelda and Lance the latter was in his green ghost form shouted together in unison

Lance and Shelda: we'll never get used to It !!

they both looked at each other with confusion

Red asked Jester: hey Jester are those two always like that?

both Jester and Mome then sighed as

Tigera admitted: I know we were born yesterday but I'll take that as a yes

G to the soul guardians: hey you two maybe in trouble they argue as well

both Jester and Mome said while G laughed in the background: G!!!

back with the two women and Lance who the latter put his hand on his forehead in embarrassment

Lance: grrr

Shelda with an uncertain look: um maybe we should get back to the fight before Lance rage goes Nuclear

Maria looked like she agreed: that's best for everyone [as she then went into a fighting pose saying] ok then let's go

Shelda then looked as if she agreed: right don't worry this time I'll try my best

however then as Maria looked into Shelda's eyes seeing  something as she noticed she had more determined eyes as then in a  quick second Shelda suddenly moved so fast it was as if she was moving at the speed of light Maria then quickly saw Shelda appeared to her right as she tried to deliver another kick to Maria however the latter while stumbled because of it barely dodged as she then grabbed Shelda yet again by the leg however this time Shelda then connected with her other leg to Maria's face to the kids and Soul Guardians shock,

Maria then moved back thinking: wow she's gotten a lot of power this fast

Shelda then landed on the ground She then looked ready to get back into it as she rushed back to try to land another kick on Maria who then jumped to dodge it

Shelda then thought to herself: NO I WON'T GIVE UP

She then delved another kick sending Maria skyward as Shelda then jumped up after her to hit Maria with another Kick, however, Maria then caught it and thrown Shelda back down yet Shelda then landed doing a handstand before jumping back up to her two feet taking a few breaths as

Maria then flew back down saying proudly: there you go Shelda, guess my pep talk helped you Atchley got me twice

Shelda who strangely had a smile: phew would have got you a third time haha[ suddenly she then realized what she just said as she felt her face and the smile she thought to herself stunned] weird I'm smiling am I enjoying this?

Maria then got back into a fighting pose: alright I'm ready for round four...if you want  we can call this the final round "

Shelda then looked at Maria with another smile saying: sure Ok I'm gamed

from afar Jester asked confused asking: hey what's with Shelda she seems like she's starting to enjoy herself

Mome nodded: you're right, it's weird maybe it's because of the way this spar is going that's making her blood boil?

G added: It also could be because unlike Zhon, Anti Warrior, Taskmaster, or Sun Bu Maria's not trying to kill her so it's like a game of I can do things better than you can

Mome curious: that makes sense

the fight got back on track Maria managed to  catch Shelda off guard and hit her with lightning fast punches, however, Shelda then grabbed the last one to Maria's stunning look as then Shelda delivered a hard kick to Maria's side sending her back she then grabbed the ground as Maria then Charged right back at Shelda ready for one more punch while Shelda did the same with her foot for a final kick as the two clashed trying to push their attacks Maria however quickly than did a kick of her own to Shelda making Shelda fall on the ground the kids all then walked over as Red and Tigera ran after them

Jester,Mome,Red,Tigera and G: Shelda !

Shelda then felt her cheek where Maria kicked her: Ow I guess I'm still got a lot to learn hu

Maria then walked over with a smile: yeah but you didn't do that bad, but remember baby steps

as she then put her hand out again Shelda looked up with a smile as she took it  Maria pulled her up

Shelda: right perfects just a word I should be me right

Maria then smiled: right

Jester and Mome : Shelda !

the two women then see the kids and the soul Guardians ran up Shelda smiled as both Jester and Mome went right near her

Mome: that was amazing Shelda

Jester added in a cocky way: yeah you nearly had her a lot of times I lost count

Shelda then smiled and then rubbed the top of their heads as the two kids laughed happily

Shelda: I'm glad you liked it

as all three of them started to laugh together Lance looked at it with a look of sadness yet again he was thinking how lucky it is that Shelda still had her brother and sister intact while Clare was still out there somewhere possibly locked in the clutches of this Director of the Gateway Movement but he will find her no matter what with this G also noticed that Lance was not talking so he was worried about his Bro however he was caught off guard

Maria: Well I better head off now

the group all heard as they saw Maria who was starting to walk away

Shelda looking at her: you're leaving?

Maria nodded: yep sorry got Tengoku High business with My father to go over

Shelda smiled: I understand Maria thank you

Maria then looked  at her: your welcome Shelda catch you later

as she walked away

Red said in a hyper voice: guess she's busy, busy, busy

Tigera : I.....I guess you would be if.....you're the daughter of the man in charge

Mome then looked at Tigera with an odd look saying: wait a sec Tigera I never told you about that how did you know?

Tigera looked at her master: I....don't know but maybe since I have to protect you I sort of have some of your memories

Mome gasp at this

Jester then asked looking at Red: cool so does that mean you have my memories as well Red?

Red then stood there for a few seconds: I think I do

Jester crossed as the others laughed: you think you do what kind of answer is that you ever got them or you don't so which is it already

While Shelda was laughing  suddenly she then heard

Lance tell her: well, well, well who to of thought that would happen

Shelda then tried to ask thinking: um what would happen?

Lance: don't try playing dumb you Atchley liked that Spar you had with Maria didn't you

Shelda: um no ugh you got me wrong, I didn't enjoy ......

Lance not believing it: yeah keep telling yourself that Princess but just so you know when you do I hear remember

Shelda then looked down with a small smile: ok I guess I did a little

however unknown to them behind the bushes two people were watching while the Rogers and Lovehearts were leaving

Becks:  OH wow did you see that Rod ! [an excited Becks because of the fight she saw and was acting out parts of the fight as at embarrassed Rod as she shouted] I mean it's amazing so many kicks and punches wow I wish I was in a fight like that

Rod then chuckled saying "ok but shoosh Becks you don't want to tell the whole school can hear you right

Becks then fell to her knees realizing what she did

Becks: right sorry I guess I got carried away

Rod with a smile: I guess that's what happens when you finally see her fight right

Becks looked back saying: yeah I mean didn't you when all the stories she told us  I mean seeing her fight like that after she was down was exciting [Becks looked up at the sky saying ] guess it's different from hearing the tale when you Atchley live in it it's unreal [ as she then felt the wind blowing through her face] this place is so peaceful

Rod: you're right so it's our duty Becks to not let it end up the same way as where we came from

Becks then looked at her brother as she heard him say that as she saw the look of determination in his eyes Becks then looked determined herself while saying

Becks: right

Timaeus: hm what is this the Great Timaeus hears

Rod and Becks heard a familiar voice as they saw two other people walk over as it was Mr. Bemastra and Timaeus as Rod then bowed while Becks looking stunned

Becks: Master X and Timaeus what would be the pleasure of you being here?

Rod then looked over at his sister: Becks

Becks then shook her head bowing: whoops sorry my bad

Timaeus chuckled saying "ha great respect but you don't need to do that no all you need to do is call me the great Timaeus then all is right

Rod and Becks looked up at them while Becks noticed Mr. Bemastra was in his small form

Becks: hey um no offense Mr. Bemastra but why are you in that form and not your big form doesn't everybody know that's not your real form?

Rod then added looking extra curious: yeah Becks is not wrong, why stay in that small form and not the big one?

Timaeus chuckled a little: ha, ha, ha no offense my friends but you are not very good at lying

Rod and Becks asked in union: Lying?

Bemastra explained stroking his small beard: how is it you know of my true form, if I do recall You Rodney were knocked out by Sun Bu and you Rebecca were sent to the safe group [Both the teens then freaked out as they were caught out Bemastra walked forward of them saying] but you already know my true form all this time, you even seem to be calm when many other threats have emerged as if you had heard of them before yes it's so simple I know how .........you're not of this time aren't you?

Rod and Becks then looked at each other with a sad look

Timaeus confused: from another time? [as he then stared at them] what does that mean?

Becks then had a sympathetic smile saying: just as he said were ......

meanwhile after the fight with Shelda

Maria was walking back up the hill thinking to herself remembering the fight: strange Shelda started the fight off doubting herself but when the fight continued she got better and better a couple of more rounds she would have had me if we ......hu [she then noticed as she saw the Outsiders who were just up ahead Maria then thought ]oh no

she then tried to move the other way until

Vita Taunting: hey where you going, Maria?

Maria then heard Vita say in a taunting like fashion while she thought to herself: drat [ as she turned around she said in an embarrassed way] um hey guys haha

Vita and Oumǐjiā then walked  forward with Geama with a worried look staying at the back and Ipushiron leaning on the tree

Vita asked Maria in a taunting way: so what are you doing here didn't you and daddy have work to do today

Maria looked at her with an annoyed look: what's it to you, besides I'm off the clock

Oumijia: so is that why you were training that Loveheart student hu

Ōumǐjiā said  as Maria and even the other three outsiders looked confused by this as

Vita asked, putting her arm over Maria's shoulder to the latter's annoyance: you mean that Shelda girly blah, why on earth would you be pals with anyone but us?

Maria angrily pushed Vita's arm off sounding crossed: that's none of your business

Oumǐjiā serious: funny, last I've checked by the way you were fighting her when I saw you it seems important which made it seem like our business

Maria then looked at Oumijia square in the eyes: and how is it your business?

Oumijia crossed his arms, with his eyes closed and a small smile: a funny idea I think Sun Bu was coming after her and your training her because you know like he did something about her the fact she's .....[he then opened his eyes] the Soul Warrior

Maria looked stunned however she shouldn't be she knows Oumijia was clever with the small things he can quickly put together however she then tried to quickly denied it

Maria: what that's crazy.....crazy Sheldas not......

Rehcaet: what's going on here?

the Outsiders and Maria heard a Voice as they all then saw as Rehcaet walked in with a crossed look

Maria said happily seeing her father: Dad

Oumijia then looked slightly crossed at this

Vita looked worried: oh um we were just playing around Rehcaet haha no need to worry

Rehcaet put his hands on his hips: really bad at lying. It looks more like you're bullying my daughter. Why did you do that to her after all the times we have helped you?

Vita then was trying to think of something

Oumijia then spoke out while walking away: we don't need to answer to you were leaving got it

as the other Outsiders also started to walk away

Geama apologizing lastly: sorry for this

she then walked away to the rest of  the Outsiders

Rehcaet pointed to them: was it something I said?

Maria shook her head: nope it's because they don't want to lose any points because they want to leave here

Rehcaet looked at her with a shocked yet serious look: they wanted to leave Tengoku High, why?

Maria looked upset: think about it dad, those four have been in Tengoku High for over Ten years, it's got to be boring to be stuck in a place like this for that long and not want to leave

Rehcaet looked like he understood: hm, I see now I get it no wonder Oumijia and Vita changed so much shame seems like only yesterday that you and Oumijia had that little crush on each other

Maria blushed: Dad.....d.....don't say that

Rehcaet then looked at her daughter as she had a really embarrassing look which told him something: Oh I see what's happening here

Maria looked at her dad

Rehcaet: besides his attitude change you still have that crush on him right that's adorable

Maria tried to deny it:wh......wow, wow, wow, Dad you're wrong and besides even if I am he's still with Vita so there's not a chance

Rehcaet looked at her: hm well I better get back to work, it maybe months away but the end of the year party is not going to work itself now right

Maria sighed: right farther

Rehcaet then walked  away  Maria did feel bad Rehcaet has been working so much on the new year's eve party he forgot the next day new year's day.....her birthday
