"The scythe is such an impractical weapon." Jete remarked lightly to Bruce. "I haven''t really seen any of the Dark Trio in real action, and I couldn''t for the world imagine how they can do so much killing with such a weird weapon."


    Bruce chuckled at her remark.


    "The scythe deals damage by getting ahead of the enemy, and pulling it back towards the wielder. What does that tell you about the situation?" Bruce asked Jete.


    They were both chatting away while patiently waiting for me to finish my awed study of Death God.


    "The situation? The wielder''s enemy must all be trying to run away if the killing method is by pulling them back. But there are so many other more effective ways to kill a running enemy." Jete argued back.


    Bruce shook his head with a smile.


    "Tell me, would you use your favorite hunting rifle to kill a rabbit, or a high powered machine gun?" Bruce asked her.


    "My hunting rifle, of course." Jete immediately replied and then nodded in understanding. "Even if it''s nowhere as efficient as the machine gun in killing rabbits. You''re saying that the Death God is expecting to always find itself in situations where it has the leeway to pick a favorite killing weapon instead of a more efficient weapon?"


    Bruce looked at his wife seriously for a second, and then nodded. "Yes. Always. Everytime."


    "Hmmmm. It is that strong huh? I really want to see it in action. In fact, I want to see ANY one of the Dark Trio in action. Why aren''t there any videos or footage of them fighting, I wonder? They must have seen some action in WW3." Jete wondered aloud.


    "They would make for pretty sad assassins if there were footages of them "in action"! Bruceughed.


    "Oh? I didn''t know they were assassins. Judging by their heavy armor, I thought that they would be frontline tankers and damage dealers." Jete remarked in genuine surprise.


    "The Dark Trio''s heavy armor is part of their unique feature. The armor is actually just their wings folding forward and inward. It gives them extreme maneuvering capabilities while in flight, and extreme protection while in a fight.


    Their unique skill, Perfect Darkness, allows them to absorb all light for a short time, making them near impossible to detect visually at night." Bruce said.


    "How do you know all these things? I''m the Vice Principal, and I have as much ess as you to all the restricted files and I have never seen any of these things mentioned before!" Jete asked Bruce slightly indignantly.


    "You have as much ess as me, that''s absolutely true. But what use is ess if you don''t use it. You read half as much as me, and that''s also absolutely true. For me to know twice as many things as you is to be expected." Bruce smiled as they bantered back and forth.


    By their side, I had allowed my powerful resonance to drift outwards and study each and every mecha within my reach. I realized that none of them intrigued me and pulled at me as much as the Dark Element mechas. Even Deathscythe had an extremely powerful allure to me.


    I opened my eyes and stared at the final three mechas which were out of range for my resonance to study clearly.


    "What elements are those? I pointed at them and asked.


    "The trio at the very edge are the Chaos Divine Element mechas. Why? Are you interested?" Jete asked.


    "Yes. Let''s take a look at them. I think I am close to making my decision." I told her.


    "Really? We haven''t even seen the other mechas yet!" Jete objected slightly.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "I don''t need to." I replied. "I know exactly what I want. However, I do want to confirm about the final trio."


    "If that''s what you want." Jete shrugged and led us to the final trio.


    Once again, I was absolutely thunderstruck by the awesomeness of the Divine Element mechas.


    They were by far the biggest mechas out of the thirty six, and by far the most majestic looking ones as well.


    The Primordial Chaos Emperor stood at an incredible hundred and seventy five meters tall, while his two disciples stood not much shorter at a hundred and forty five meters tall.


    Even the Chaos Element Mecha Disciples were almost as tall as the other Mecha Guardians.


    All three were styled very simrly in a fearsomebination of gold, white and red. Their thick armor looked extremely solid and imprable, and all three wielded wicked looking overlord spears that were longer than they were tall.


    "Primordial Chaos Emperor, and his two Disciples, Light Primordial and Dark Chaos. All three of them are also currently unimed." Bruce said softly.


    "Why are they still unimed? If the elements aren''t equal as you said, then the Divine Element must be the strongest element." I asked.


    "The strongest. And also the one with the highest requirements. After its previous owner died, not a single person managed to score more than a single digit inpatibility with it. Not even Russel Whitefrost and Phil Whitefrost, two of the most ster mecha pilots in thest two generations, were able to sessfully "tame" the Chaos Trio." Bruce exined, feeling slightly pleased that I was talking to him once more.


    I walked up to the giant Primordial Chaos Emperor andid my hand on it.


    Instantly, a resonance and connection unlike anything I had ever felt before surged throughout my body.


    HUM!!!


    The Primordial Chaos Emperor suddenly powered up!!


    Whoosh!!


    The Ancestor suddenly appeared before us like a phantom!


    "An-Ancestor!" Bruce and Jete eximed in surprise.


    The Ancestor ignored them and focused on me as I took a few steps back to gape at the powered up Primordial Chaos Emperor.


    "I uh…" I turned around to look at the Ancestor and then pointed at the Primordial Chaos Emperor.


    Realizing that I had nothing to say, I immediately implemented one of the best strategies ever known to man. The best defense is offense!


    "What''s happening here? Why did it suddenly power up by itself?" I demanded as though I was the victim!
