Zack spoke again excitedly, "In five centuries, the universe was completely different. Doesn't that mean that Jeff might have survived in one of the other universes? Beau replied, agreeing," True, but because the world was unstable, only one universe would exist after the demise of the beast, so you can't talk with the other universes until you win this because you were targeted. After all, we were the original universe in the first place the first in existence". Zack spoke calmly, "So why am I being targeted? They could just summon other candidates,". Beau replied, disagreeing," You might think that, but no it is because if the candidates were killed, they are out of the competition to be king the current king wanted to ensure that all the universes knew their fate if they fail to kill the beasts. The world has been corrupted since the creation of the other universes. It wasn't stable, and that is why only one universe will be kept alive," Zack complained. "Then when will I talk with him? If what you say is true, then I can't befriend anyone in the universe. Where is my partner Isn't he or she going to help me". Beau replied," You are surrounded by enemies and the waterfall hasn't chosen your partner yet. you are the first to be chosen from the first universe after the others passed away fighting the beasts". Zack continued," Well now that this is out of the way let us begin the contract so what should I do exactly. Do you get tiny and enter my brain or something". Beau replies while laughing, "Not even close just a drop of blood will do". Zack wondered," Then is demi beasts a type of vampire". Beau made a small cut in his hands, and a drop of blood was seen dropping from his hands onto a piece of paper. Beau instructed Zack to do the same. Zack replied confused," so you aren't going to get blood from my neck".
Beau replied angrily," I am not a beast to eat human flesh. Even if the past king was a demi-beast, I won't eat you". Zack hurriedly explained," No! I just thought you were a vampire who drinks blood to survive, not eat humans". Beau replies, confused, "No, I am not a vampire, but they are like the term vaper who needs smoking to not get stressed. Is that what you mean? Zack replied," No, I didn't mean a smoker who needs to smoke to not get distressed. I meant a movie but you know what, never mind. You won't understand it. Zack continued the contract and placed his bloody finger on the paper. The contract was complete. Beau could see every experience Zack felt up to this point. In just a second Beau started to speak in Zack's head," You did watch a lot of movies now I understand that you didn't experience many hardships, and the beast was the only thing you had a problem with up to this point., man I feel jealous your life was more entertaining than mine". Zack replied cheerful out loud," right".
After learning more about the waterfall's existence, Zack couldn't hide his disdain for the waterfall because he insisted that the universes must fight each other to ensure that one universe survives. It was a survival-of-the-fittest concept, and Zack didn't like this fact. If he were to rule over this place one day, he would ensure that this waterfall stops this rule. he also wanted to find a way to stop this fighting between the universe, while the real enemy: the beasts are killing even more people. Beau knew Zack's intentions but couldn't help but believe in this master who helped him see himself in a brighter light, so he didn't question Zack's intentions.
Zack asked about how Greed knew about his parents' death. Beau told him that Greed had an ability of foresight to view places at any given time. He was also the only demi-beast who had three abilities granted to him by the waterfall. No one knows his third ability up to this point. Beau believed that after Zack was chosen. Greed wanted to abduct his family to blackmail Zack. Now, they probably didn't think ahead because Zack's parents were killed before Greed could do that. Zack asked how Beau knew. Beau told Zack that he was away to monitor Greed since he is considered the strongest fighter in all the universe and saw him use his foresight ability, so Beau realized that Greed was spying on someone because of his teleportation ability that was able to detect the abilities' location. Beau teleported to the place that Greed was looking at. While Beau was away, he saw the beast eat Zack's parents, but the little girl was still alive since a girl named Kaddy protected her. Greed also attacked Zack in this short time. Zack cried tears of joy, canceling Beau's stabilization ability," My sister is alive, thank goodness". "Mum and Dad, sorry I failed you. Even if my current predicament is your fault, you were still kind people. I am going to save my sister no matter what". Zack told Beau that he was relieved that Beau had left Zack all alone to fight Greed since Beau's actions gave Zack a piece of information that Greed would have kept to himself. Zack was more determined than ever to fight. Beau replied cheerfully," Thanks for the encouragement. I will continue to help you from now on since we are going to be bonded forever".
Just then, Zack noticed a hooded boy from across the room looking at him in a very strange way, holding a sword with his shacky hands. Beau instructed," Be careful, Zack. This boy is the candidate from the fifth universe. He wants to kill you."
The boy named John kept shaking," Zeta, is this you?" he muttered. Zack was confused because of the boy's strange words." Does he know me? Could it be"? Zack thought. Zack approached the boy not in a fighting position but rushed and gave him a big hug and spoke, "It is okay. I am not who you wanted, but I know even though I am not him, I can see you are like my brother".
John cried," I couldn't save him after all, but you seem the same childish and naive as him. Even if I came here to kill you, I wasn't expecting to see Zeta's replica. Sorry, Zeta, but to bring the real Zeta back, I must abandon justice. Just this once". John swung his sword and prepared to kill Zack, but Zack teleported away from him, but it wasn't Zack's doing: it was Beau's doing. Beau screamed," You can't trust him. Now fight," Zack snapped." Why did you do this? It is so unlike the Jeff I knew. The Jeff I knew would never hurt people or even try to kill them. He would just cause trouble, but he isn't a murderer".
John screamed," You even act like him. But what do you know about me? My only purpose was to be by my brother's side forever, but he was dead. I would do anything to bring him back, even kill. Even if Zeta didn't forgive me, I still would do it a million times to bring him back. Now die! Die! so he can one day live again".
Zack screamed," You don't deserve to be his brother. I know if I was in his shoes, I would be so sad that my brother is a murderer that I would wish that he had disappeared". John replied angrily as he swung his sword more aggressively," Shut up". Zack spoke again, "I miss my brother, but I can never see him turn like the monster who killed him". John replies while shaking and dropping his sword," You are right, I don't deserve him I just want to meet him again, so I just have to die now won't I". John faced the blade to his throat and was about to stab himself, "I will join you soon brother goodbye world". Zack stopped him while saying, "you pretend escaping the world wouldn't make him or me happy". John screamed," you don't get it I am tired of fighting and killing I just want my brother back". Zack slapped john hard then said softly, "then respect his and my wishes. What I want most of all is to see the beast dead, and that is probably his wish as well. I can never hate my brother even if he was turned down the wrong path, I will force him down the right path again".
John sobbed," You are an exact copy of my brother Zeta. I am glad you opened my eyes. Even if you are different, Thank you, Zeta". Zack corrected him," No, it is Zack and you". John replies, "It is John. We are enemies, but I won't kill anyone, even so I will achieve my desire my way".
The demi-beast inside John spoke angrily," We must kill him since his abilities are strong. They will outdo us, and we can't bring back your brother, and I can't be king". John replies in his mind, "I will do it in my way". John disappeared, unbeknownst to Zack. John's ability to leave the scene was due to his invisibility ability. Beau knew John's ability due to the fight. As John left, Beau sensed a familiar voice inside John; Beau's brother Blake was present. Beau sensed that John's other ability was to increase his blade's swings fast, which was triple the normal speed. This meant that Blake could detect lies and fast movement. He knew that because he was his older brother. Beau always quarreled with his brother Blake because they were opposite each other. Blake was always a coward, always thought dark thoughts, and didn't do anything good unless it benefited him.
On the other side of the coin, Beau was always brave and cared about everyone in his people, including Blake. However, Blake always hated Beau since he was jealous of the attention given to Beau. Beau always hated outsiders and caused small troubles for them like someone Zack knew it was Jeff. Beau and Jeff's personalities were very similar. Beau liked teleporting behind others when they least expected it, so they got startled. Beau used his ability to steal stuff from the training hall and place them randomly, then revealed the real coordinates after a week of the other tribes searching for them. There was a total of 15 tribes in the demi-beast world, each containing 56 demi beasts. Beau and Blake were special and showed promise and strong guts; that was why the waterfall chose them to carry the ability and weight of the world on their hands. Not all demi beasts had ability, but they all were training in case of an attack in the demi world. After John's and Blake's disappearance, Beau took the opportunity to train Zack on how to use the stabilizing ability since they had no time to lose because a candidate could be chosen. They were out of time since only three candidates were left unchosen. "So why was the stabilizing ability important?" Zack asks. Beau told him that it can be used to boost human morale, making them unafraid of battle. There were a ton of tutorials that Beau displayed in Zack's mind so he could understand the ability better. Zack knew that fighting would be a ton of work, and he had no time for games. Because of this, he didn't abandon the training for a second since he was determined to defeat the beast and take revenge for his family and one day might be allowed to see his sister.
After an eventful month, Zack was improving and his growth surprised Beau. As if Zack was born to wield the blade. One day after a tiring training session. Zack was tired, so he went back to his room to sleep. Beau was also exhausted that day since he used his form for a long time, training Zack on how to use Beau's ability and sparing with Zack, so he was tired but was on the lookout for any disturbances since Zack could be attacked again at any moment. Zack's choice of weapons was two katana blades. He was very skilled.
