A day after the second training season, Eris managed to control her Element of Plasma powers and Andre proved himself to be a strong warrior, even if he had to fight alone.

At the Master's house, the Master was sitting in his wooden chair, looking at his special book, reading a bit of it's pages. Angelena was doing her meditation training, trying to maintain her powers under her control. Pedro and Samantha were training at the Training Grounds, as they knew that their enemies would be stronger.

- It is time! - said the Master, as he closed his special book, raising up from his wooden chair.

Angelena opened her eyes and she looked that her father was looking serious.

- What is it, father? - asked Angelena.

- I must challenge Andre and Eris, to a final test. They must prove themselves against me, if they want to continue using their powers to save the others. - answered the Master, as he looked at his daughter.

- Father... Are you sure about that? - said Angelena, as she was worried.

- Indeed I am, my daugther. I can not delay this, any longer. They have to fight against me, with all their powers, if they want to protect the others. - said the Master.

- Very well, father. Shall I inform Pedro and Samantha to ask Andre and Eris to come back? - said Angelena, as she saw that her father was serious about facing Andre and Eris, in a serious training battle.

- Yes, Angelena. Informe my disciples to ask Andre and Eris to come back. This will be the final test, before the darkness treats our world again. - said the Master.

After this, Angelena left her father's house and, spreading her wings, flew to the Training Grounds, where Pedro and Samantha were still training.

At the Training Grounds, Pedro and Samantha fought hard against each other, using both their powers and their sword skills.  

- Well done, Samantha! Now, let me see if you can handle this! "Technique of Great Swordmaster: Scatter Slash"! - said Pedro, as he created multiple magical slash cuts and send them against Samantha.

- Time to put my Great Fencer skills to good use! Here I come, Pedro! "Technique of the Great Fencer: Escrima"! - said Samantha, as she placed her rapier in front of her body and cut down the magical slash cuts.

- You did well, Samantha! It is your turn to strike! I am prepared! - said Pedro, as he put his sword in position for a counter attack.

- I do have a funny thing to use now! Let us see if you can handle this! Soul of Marezinia, come forth! "Deep Aquatic Barrier", surround me and my opponent! - said Samantha.

After this, a huge water barrier appeared and surrounded Pedro and Samantha. Samantha had a trump card that Pedro wasn't even ready for that.

After the barrier was created, Samantha turned into a giantess, which made Pedro a bit nervous.

- Hey! That is not fair, Samantha! - said Pedro, as he looked way up at giant Samantha.

- Hehehe! Well, I want to test your limits, so nothing is better than to make me a giantess, to make you do your best in battle! - said Samantha, as she looked down at her tiny friend.

- Don't underestimate my powers, Samantha! You know full well that I can defeat you, even if you are a giantess! - said Pedro. 

- Well... We will see about that! - said Samantha, as she prepared to use her oversized rapier to hit hard on the ground, causing quite an earthquake.

Pedro managed to prevent the earthquake, using his creation powers. He was now serious enough to use his powers, on maximum. 

- Alright, my friend! You ask for it! Wind Element, come forth! "Cyclone", blow my opponent away! - said Pedro, as he used is most powerful Wind elemental power.

Even as a giantess, Samantha couldn't hold on to the power of the "Cyclone" and went up into the skies. Her magical barrier was gone and she couldn't do much to protect herself from the strong Wind power. Before landing on the ground, Samantha returned to her normal size, to prevent an enormous earthquake.

- Ouch! That really hurts! - said Samantha, as she landed hard on the ground.

- I did warn you, Samantha. You were acting like a warrior without experience in battles. You wanted to test my limits and you end up being blown away into the skies. Thank the Goddess that you could prevent yourself from being much worse than you are now. - said Pedro, as he tried to help his friend getting up from ground. 

- Hehehe... I think I got a bit carried away. But you did your best on defeating, even with the big size difference. - said Samantha, as she smiled on Pedro.

- Size doesn't matter, if your powers aren't on the same level, Samantha. You were taller, but your powers weren't stronger. That is why my Wind powers were strong enough to make you fly into the skies, even if being a giantess. - said Pedro, as he tried to warn Samantha that sometimes being bigger doesn't means being the strongest.

After a moment of talking with each other, Pedro and Samantha noticed that Angelena was at the entrance of the Training Grounds.

- Angelena! - said the two warriors.

- Greetings, Pedro and Samantha! - answered Angelena.

Pedro and Samantha came closer to Angelena, to know what she wanted. 

- What news do you grib, my friend? - Asked Pedro to Angelena.

- My father requests that you two bring Andre and Eris back here. He looked serious, at some point. - answered her.

- Do you think that Master might have something to tell us all? - asked Samantha.

- He does have something to tell us, Samantha. But, please, bring back Andre and Eris here. I can't tell you more. - said Angelena, as she looked worried.

- Alright! Then, we will get Andre and Eris. We will meet at the Master's house! - said Pedro to Angelena.

- Thank you, Pedro. I will now return to my father's house. Until then! - said Angelena, as she started to spread her wings and flew away.

- What does the Master wants to tell us, Pedro? - asked Samantha, as she was worried.

- I don't know, Samantha. When the Master is serious, then, whatever it is, it can not be good news. - said Pedro, as he looked to his friend.

After a moment of thinking about the words Angelena said to them, Pedro and Samantha left the Town of Irhe, so that Pedro could use his powers to create a dimensional portal.

Once they arrived at the park, Pedro and Samantha started to search for Andre and Eris. Andre and Eris were a worried from the events that recently happened to their friends, Arturetta and Arthur.

- Sis, I can't forget this. That image of Arthur being hurt is still inside me. - said Andre, as he looked at his best friend, with a sad look.

- Don't worry, bro. I'm sure Arthur is just fine. You know that he's been healing well, since that happened. - said Eris, as she tries to confort her best friend.

- Thanks, sis! - said Andre, as he hugged his best friend.

- No problem, bro! As long as we keep protecting our friends, no harm will happen to them! - said Eris, as she hugged back her best friend.

After some minutes, Pedro and Samantha saw Andre and Eris hugging each other. As they came closer, Andre and Eris noticed that their good friends were here.

- Pedro! Samantha! Nice to see you two again! - said Andre.

- Pedro! Sammy! Good to see you two! So, what's going on? - said Eris.

- Greetings, Andre and Eris! - said Pedro.

- Greetings, Andre and Eris! We came here, because our master requests that you two come to our world. - said Samantha, as she was a bit worried.

- Sammy? Something tells me that what you say isn't a good thing. - said Eris, as she looked at Samantha's eyes.

- What does the Master wants with us? - asked Andre.

- I don't know, my friends. Once we reach our Master's house, we will know. - said Pedro.

- Okay! Then, let's go! - said Andre.

- Let's hope that what the Master wants to tell us isn't that bad. - said Eris.

After this, Pedro created a dimensional portal and the four heroes entered in it, heading to the Land of the Dragon.
Once they arrived outside of the Town of Irhe, the portal disappeared and the heroes went to the Master's house.

As they arrived at the place, they saw Angelena next to the Master and she was a bit worried.

- Master! Andre and Eris are here! - said Pedro to the Master.

- Thank you, my disciple. Andre. Eris. Come closer. - said the Master.

As the two came closer to the Master, he began to look serious.

- You do know that I trained Eris, since the first training season. But... It is time for you two to face a greater challenge. - said the Master.

- What challenge is that, Master? - asked Andre.

- What is it, Master? - said Eris.

- You two will have to face me in a training battle. I will test your limits in a serious battle, using both sword and elemental powers. - said the Master.

- SAY WHAAAT?! - shout Andre and Eris, as they couldn't believe to what they heared from the Master.

Pedro and Samantha were shocked. They couldn't say a word, when they heared the Master.

- Dark times are coming, my friends. And these will be much worse than the ones that you had faced so far. In order to you be prepared for the danger, I will have to test you to your limits. - said the Master.

- But... How? You're too strong for us! - said Eris, as she remembered how the Master was unaffected by the Plasma Barrier he created.

- Do not let fear controls you, my friends! I know that I am strong, but you can try on defeating me. You proved to Pedro, Samantha and my daughter, Angelena, that you are able to face strong opponents. Your powers can get stronger, if you believe that you can defeat a strong opponent. So, it is the time for you two to prove yourselves, by facing me. - said the Master.

Andre and Eris were a bit nervous, but they accepted the challenge.

- Very well, Master! I accept your challenge! - said Andre.

- I accept your challenge! Bring it on, Master! - said Eris.

Pedro, Samantha and Angelena knew that this would be a hard battle for their friends, because the Master was a very strong opponent.
As the Master noticed that the two warriors were prepared for the challenge, he looked at them and said:
- Very well, Andre and Eris! Allow me to change the place, which will be the area where we will battle! Element of Creation, come forth! Transform this area into a grassy plain! "Gaianus Field"! 

After this, the Master's house disappeared and the heroes were transported to a grassy plain. Pedro, Samantha and Angelena were at the area, as well. Eris and Andre looked around them and saw that the house and the town of Irhe were gone.

- What's going on? Where's the town? - said Andre and Eris.

- Do not worry, my friends. We will be back to my house, once the challenge is over. I welcome you to "Gaianus Field"! Gaianus is the Great Guardian of the Soul of Florecensia. One of the Soul Guardians. - said the Master, as he presented the area to the two heroes.

- Wow... Sis, he managed to transform the entire town into this grassy plain area, using a bit of his powers! He is really a powerful opponent! - said Andre, as he looked amazed to the place where he and his best friend was.

- Yeah... I never though he would be able to do that, bro! We better get on our toes with the Master! - said Eris, as she was a nervous to see such power from the Master.

- Now then, Andre and Eris! Prepare yourselves for the battle! - said the Master.

- I'm ready, Master! I will give my best in this battle! Sword of Darcos, come forth! - said Andre, as he summoned his sword.

- I won't hold back, Master! I'm going to give my all! Divine Friendship, come forth! - said Eris, as she summoned her rapier.

After this, the Master began to levitate, but he had no wings. Andre and Eris were astonished, as they saw the Master levitating in the air, without wings.

- My name is Master, Great Guardian of Balance! I shall challenge you to a battle! Prove your strength to me and challenge your destiny! Come forth, Sword of Balance! - said the Master, as he summoned his sword.

The Sword of Balance appeared in the Master's right hand, begining with a multiple of sparks and ending with a majestic longsword. After this, the Master landed slowly to the ground, as he looked at Andre and Eris, with a serious face.

- This is it, sis! Let's show the Master how strong we are! - said Andre, as he prepared to battle.

- You got it, bro! We will defeat him, if we stay focus on the battle! - said Eris, as she prepared to battle. 
 
Pedro, Samantha and Angelena were happy to know that Andre and Eris were starting to overcome their fears, once again. And so, they looked at the battle, hoping for Andre and Eris to win the challenge.

- It's your turn to strike, Andre and Eris! Show me what your powers can do! - said the Master, as he looked serious to the two heroes.

- Let's go, sis! - said Andre, as he charged against the Master.

- Let's rock! - said Eris, as she charged against the Master.

Andre started the battle, using his sword skills, as he trained hard with Pedro and Samantha, while Eris used her rapier skills to support his best friend.
The Master blocked every attack of the two warriors, but he was happy to know that they were doing their best to fight him in this battle.

- Andre! Eris! Focus on the battle! Your powers can only go stronger, if you stay focused! - said the Master, as he tried to teach Andre and Eris how to get a chance on defeating him.

Andre tried hard to land a hit on the Master and so was the same to Eris, but they didn't managed to get one, thanks to the Master's sword skills.

- Sheesh... this is not going well, sis! He's much tougher than Angelena, Samantha and Pedro all together! - said Andre, as he noticed that his sword skills didn't had any affect on the Master.

- Then, let's get serious, using our elemental powers! - said Eris, as her hands began to create sparks.

- You got it, sis! Let's get him! - said Andre, as his hands began to burn in blue flames.

The Master noticed that they were starting to get serious on the battle, so he prepared to attack first.

- It is my turn to strike! Let us see if you can hold on to this! Element of Plasma! "Plasma Beams"! - said the Master, as he unleashed his powers against the two heroes.

After this, a multitude of plasma energy beams rain down on Andre and Eris. Eris, noticing the elemental attack coming from the sky, stepped ahead of Andre and protected him from the energy beams.

- I got this, bro! Element of Plasma! "Plasma Shield"! Protect me and my bro! - said Eris, as she unleashed her powers.

At the moment the beams hitted on the ground, Eris managed to save both her and her best friend from the attack. 

- Thanks, sis! That was a close call! - said Andre.

- No problem, bro! Now, let's do counter attack! Element of Plasma! "Plasma spheres", go! - said Eris, as she counter attacked with her elemental powers.

- Soul of Darcos, give me strength! "Darcos Fireballs", go! - said Andre, as he counter attacked with his soul powers.

The Master didn't used his powers to protect himself from the elemental powers used by Andre and Eris, but he went head on against those powers. At the moment that the attacks were about to hit on him, he manage to escape every fireball and plasma sphere, using his sword to cut them down.

Andre and Eris were astonished, as they couldn't believe what they just saw. The Master was still without any damage and he didn't even used his powers to protect himself from the attacks.

After this, the Master prepared to use a powerfull elemental power to end the battle.

- Andre! Eris! It is time to end this battle! Give your all in this last attack! Element of Plasma! "Plasma Ultimate Blast", show them your power! - said the Master, as he unleashed a powerful blast energy.

- Sis! We have to give our all in this final attack! Ready? - said Andre, as he looked at Eris.

- Ready, bro! Let's do this!! - said Eris, as she looked at Andre.

- Soul of Darcos, aid me with your power! "Darcos Ultimate Infernal Flames", GO!! - said Andre, as he used all his soul powers to counter the Master's "Plasma Ultimate Blast".

- Element of Plasma, aid me with your power! This is my ultimate skill! "Plasma Soul Burst"!! - said Eris, as she used all her elemental powers to counter the Master's "Plasma Ultimate Blast".

The shock between at tree elemental powers was so strong that the ground shaked violently. The Master noticed that his "Plasma Ultimate Blast" couldn't hold both Andre and Eris's ultimate power attacks and end up receiving the full force of those powers.

- AHHHHH! - shout the Master, as he went flying, from the blast of Andre and Eris combined powers.

As the battle ended, Andre and Eris saw the Master on the ground, with some damage from the last attack.

- Wow! Sis, we did it! WE DID IT! - said Andre, as he hugged Eris.

- Yay! We did it, bro! WE DID IT! - said Eris, as she hugged back Andre.

Pedro, Samantha and Angelena were very happy to see that their friends managed to use their powers to defeat the Master. And so, they applaused their friends, for winning the challenge.

The Master went up from the ground, after landing hard on it, and make his sword disappear. After that, he came closer to Andre and Eris, with a happy face.

- Congratulations, Andre and Eris! You have proved yourselves to me! I'm pleased to see that you have improved this much, since we first met! - said the Master.

- Thank you, Master! It was an honor to battle you! - said Andre, as he bow his head to the Master.

- Thanks, Master! You teached me so many things, since I began to train with you! I'll use my powers to help and protect those that I care the most! - said Eris, as she bow her head to the Master.

- I am so happy to had the chance to meet you two, Andre and Eris. You may have come from a different world than ours, but since you have came here, with the help of my disciples, Pedro and Samantha, you have become talented warriors and began to have powers of your own. Those powers you have are the proof of friendship and the mark of determination. Your powers gets stronger, when you are determined to battle to protect someone. That is something I do value a lot. - said the Master.

- Thank you, Master! It was a wonderful experience me and Eris had, since we met Pedro and Samantha. And even now, after meeting you and Angelena. This world is a wonderful place. I learned so many valuable teachings from Pedro, Samantha, Angelena and even from you. Those teachings will make me even stronger and a better person. - said Andre, as he smiled at all of his friends.

- Ever since I went to this world, for the first time, I wasn't sure of what to do. I wanted to protect others, but I didn't knew how to. Thanks to you all, I learned how to get better. I never imagined becoming so strong, with the help of everyone. I thank you for all the good moments, the experiences we had, while we were protecting both worlds from the dark creatures. Thanks, guys! - said Eris, as she smiled at all her friends.

After this, the Master used his Creation Elemental powers and everyone returned to the Master's house. Everything was back to the way it was.

Before Andre and Eris had to leave for their world, Pedro and Samantha came close to them to have a moment to talk.

- Ever since I created that portal that pulled you two to our world, both worlds became connected. This could cause the dark creatures to appear in the Modern Era. Even so, I did my best to teach you two how to fight with a sword and with a rapier. Also, you taugh me how to face my fear of highs, when we had to save all those people and Arturetta, from that collapsing building. You two managed to save the friendship I had with Arthur, by defeating Illusia and put Malério's plans to ruin. The dept that I have with you two is too big for me to repay. - said Pedro to Andre and Eris.

- Ever since I meet you all, my life had a propose. I began to use my soul powers to protect those in need. Even if we had to face our fears. I do remember when Malério created my dark side and how she almost managed to kill everyone and destroy the whole city. I was with fear, at that time, but I had to protect everyone, from being destroyed. When I first met you two, I didn't knew that we would have such a great adventure together. The things we did, the moments we share... All those memories from when we met Arturetta, Arthur, Mr. Jose... They will be, forever, inside me. - said Samantha to all her friends.

- When I was a normal guy, with no powers, I though myself to be useless. I was always being protected by my sis. I wanted to have powers to protect others. I wanted to be strong like her. Since I met you, Pedro, you taugh me so many things. You teached me how to fight with a sword, facing my fears. You also taught me so many things, Samantha. I thank you for that. Even since I began to face my fears, I started to gain courage to face strong enemies. You all are my best friends! My soul powers were gained, thanks to you all. I will use it for good! - said Andre.

- You weren't useless, bro! Even without powers, you always cheered me up and everyone, as well! Ever since we met Pedro, Sammy, Angelena, the Master, Licério, Estra, Cícero and the twins Diana and Dérua, we learned much from them and we did our best to improve ourselves, to better protect others! I always enjoyed the sparrings I had with Sammy and all the teachings she gave to me! I thank you so much for that! And, bro? Arturetta doesn't have powers, but she always cheers us up, when we are fighting against the dark creatures or any other enemy! A good example of that is how we defeated Mimete, with the help of our friends from both worlds, to save Arturetta! She was cheering all her friends, even if she was in danger! No matter what happens, will always be together, as best friends! - said Eris, as she smiles at Pedro and Samantha.

After this, the four heroes hugged together, making a "brofist", as a sign of their strong friendship. Pedro and Samantha were so happy to have such best friends as Andre and Eris. They sure wouldn't forget all the great adventures they had, in the past, but they were ansious to know the next adventures they would had with their friends.

After this emotional moment, Pedro opened a dimensional portal and he and Samantha said farewell to Andre and Eris, as they returned to their world.

The training seasons were over and the dark creatures were looking for a chance to strike. No matter how strong the darkness may be, the heroes of both world will be ready to defeat the forces of darkness.
