Elitta- The Magical Butterfly

Yushura and Inoshida came to see Wahido.

Inoshida: “I was worried about you, master.”

Yushura: “I was more worried for you, master.”

Inoshida: “It's not a competition going on here.”

Yushura: “Still, I was more worried.”

Inoshida: “You are short-heighted, you can’t worry more.”

Yushura: “Do you want to fight?” he said aggressively.

Tsangero calmed both down. Wahido laughed a bit.

Hijoto asked Wahido to tell them more about the powers of the red bangle and how to defeat its owner.

“More powerful than I expected,” he replied.

“He can destroy the world in seconds if he learns how to use his powers correctly. His regenerating power is much more than any of the Watsukai’s power. He can only be defeated by the united move of all Watsukais and the sword attack upon his heart, in which the sword must have the blood of the yellow bangle owner—that is, Tsangero,” he added.

Tsangero replied, “I can die to protect this world.”

Other Watsukais replied altogether, “We won’t let you die.”

Wahido smiled proudly, seeing the bond between them all. The Watsukais sat in the garden at night to charge their bangles for one hour.

Zevroth entered the robbers’ apartment with an evil smile. His teammates asked him for the money. He was quiet and smiling with his head down.

“Do we look like fools to you? We are asking you something,” one said, grabbing his collar.

Zevroth gazed at the person’s eyes with anger and burned him completely with his gaze.

Everyone in the room was terrified. They started running and escaping, but Zevroth burned the whole apartment.

Soon, the news spread through the whole town, and all the media were covering this incident.

The Watsukais knew it was him.

Wahido ordered his magical butterfly, Elitta, to gather information about Zevroth’s life.

Elitta is a magical butterfly who can sense things beyond human capabilities. She can sense anyone’s past by touching their belongings and can read anyone’s inner voice.

Elitta informed Wahido about the wrath about to happen if Zevroth was not stopped. She sensed what had happened at the burned apartment. But none of Zevroth’s belongings were left there; everything was burned severely.

A few days later, the Watsukais were training in the garden. Wahido was out with Tsangero for some checkups. The rest of his students were also training. Suddenly, an old woman came to the main gate and asked for some food. Itiwah took her to the hall and served her some food.

She asked Itiwah, “What were you people doing in the garden?”

Itiwah replied, “We are training for a war to happen.”

She got scared and asked, “Are you serious?”

Itiwah tried to calm her down. “Don’t worry, nothing is going to happen to anyone.”

The lady stared at her with fear. “How can you assure that?” she asked.

“I’ll tell you, but promise me you are not going to tell anyone about it.”

The lady nodded.

“There’s a person who is going to destroy everything, and only we good Watsukais—people who wear magical bangles—can stop him. Our master has trained us for this day.”

“How?” the lady asked.

“We all five Watsukais have to make a united move and pass a sword, which has the blood of our leader Tsangero on it, through the evil person’s heart. That’s the only way to kill him.”

“Do you know anything about that person?” the lady asked.

“I have only seen him. I do not know anything about him,” Itiwah answered.

Wahido and Tsangero returned from the checkup. They were about to enter through the main gate when suddenly Elitta flew at rapid speed in front of Wahido. He stared at Tsangero with a commanding gaze, and Tsangero ran towards the hall, pulled her sword out, and threw it at the woman, shouting, “You imposter!”

The lady flew up, breaking the roof, and hovered above the house. She floated above the master and said, “So you are the master,” and laughed terribly, slowly turning into Zevroth.

Yushura and Inoshida were shocked after seeing Zevroth for the first time. Hijoto came in front of Wahido to protect him. Inoshida and Yushura ordered the students to go to the basement of the house, and both got ready to fight. Itiwah and Tsangero came out of the house, and Itiwah realized the mistake she had made.

“Hah! You kids, do you really think that you can defeat me? And now that I also know the secret, I’ll make sure to chop your leader Tsangero into pieces, burst her eyeballs, and eat her flesh in front of you. Then one by one, I’ll kill you all,” said Zevroth.

“But I’ll kill you at the end, you foolish girl, as you have helped me a lot by letting the secret out,” he added, looking at Itiwah.

Everyone started looking at Itiwah with disappointment.

“But today is not the day. I would love to see you suffer more and watch how I’ll bring wrath to this world,” he concluded.

“Enough!” shouted Yushura. “Dragon’s Maw – Power of Lava!”

(Dragon’s Maw – a fire mouth move. The user inhales deeply, a red-orange glow begins to burn inside the throat, resembling molten lava. The user unleashes a torrent of blazing fire from their mouth, shaped like the open jaws of a dragon, snapping forward as if the beast itself is biting down.)

Zevroth opened his mouth and swallowed the whole lava inside him. “Better luck next time, you fool,” he said, mocking him.

And disappeared in midair as if he was never there. But luckily, one of his hairs fell onto the ground.

Elitta sensed the hair, went to Wahido, conveyed everything about Zevroth’s past, and sat on his shoulder.

Wahido uttered, “Zevroth, the name itself reflects havoc. That bastard did not even let his parents live. No wonder the red bangle chose him. And now that he knows the secret of how he can be killed, it will be difficult to stop him.”

Yushura burst with anger at Itiwah. “You stupid girl, don’t you have a brain or what? How can you reveal the secret to any stranger?”

“You don’t have to yell at her,” Hijoto confronted. “Zevroth deceived her; it wasn’t her fault,” he added.

“It was all my fault,” she said, crying hard.

Tsangero hugged her and said, “No need to cry, girl. There is nothing wrong with being kind to others, but you need to be more cautious.”

“He killed that old lady,” said Wahido, as confirmed by Elitta. “He can only disguise himself as someone if he has eaten their heart.”

“We need to be cautious, as he can also become one of us by killing one of us.”
