Lightning Is the Only Way

The Ultimates looked at each other for some more seconds, thinking about what they should do. Yet, in the end, nothing happened. After a while, the sea Ultimates started to go back to their territories.

"Wait," Gravis suddenly said, stopping them.

The two Sea Ultimates had seen Gravis a couple of times, but they didn't know him. It was already a surprise that Gravis had been present during all of this. Obviously, as a King, Gravis had no right to be present when the Ultimates talked to each other.

Yet, even though he had been present for something he had no right to be part of, he even dared to stop them in their actions.

"I have something that you might like," Gravis said with a smirk.

The two Ultimates sneered. What could a King possibly possess that they desired?

Whoop!

Yet, their eyes quickly widened in shock.

"Water Ultimate, Metal Ultimate," Orthar said in greeting.

"Oracle, you're still alive?" the Water Ultimate asked in surprise. "I've thought that you would have already died."

"Logical," Orthar said. "The Light Ultimate disagreed with my philosophy and wanted to kill me. Yet, her thought process was too obvious, and I managed to find refuge somewhere she couldn't find me."

The two Ultimates looked at Gravis with wonder. How had Gravis been able to summon a beast out of thin air? Had their Oracle found refuge with this mere King? How had this King been able to hide the Oracle from the Light Ultimate?

Gravis only grinned. "Surprised? Like I said, I have something that you will be interested in. I didn't disappoint, did I?" he asked.

The Metal Ultimate fell into thought while the Water Ultimate had relaxed. His rage of being stopped by a King had transformed into gratitude. "Your surprise has not disappointed us," he said. "We will not forget your deeds. If there is something you need, you may visit me."

"Will do," Gravis said with a smirk.
