When they got to the Town of Mysteries, they started out by looking for training classes. The school had markings on it that only special people could read. Every day they’d have to show their teacher what they could do, and every day they would show them one more thing. One thing they learned is how to use a boomerang sword. You throw it and it comes back to you. And it’s pretty much impossible to dodge. But their teacher knew how to dodge it. The teacher’s ability is to see anything that can come at him. He’s like a future-teller, all the moves someone would do. He tried to teach that to them.
When they were done, they decided to check out one of the mysteries in the village. It was the mystery of the missing Jewel of Great Power. It was their birthdays and Science got a staff and new spells: an electrical spell, a fireball spell, a mind-control spell, and also an animal-talk spell, to talk to animals and find out stuff, because they can see more than you can. Battle got four new swords: a magic sword, a fire sword, a water sword, and an electrical sword. He also got his first spell. His first spell was Leaf Blade. He gets leaves off a tree and uses the spell to control them. They also got a map of the temple where the Jewel of Great Power is. They’d heard tales about it, that it’s been missing for many years inside that temple. Many people attempted to find it, but never came back out. They thought they might have gone to the dead, because the dead live there, or they might still be in there hiding it even better than ever.
So they decided to finally check it out. The second they put a foot in the temple, someone immediately tried to get them! Battle had amazing strength from when he got his first robot parts. (It was around when they first met, they decided to get to know each other, and they went into the forest and found a good camping spot to do some training, and one day when it was almost time to go back, some bad guys came along. Science was awake, taking night shifts, but without notice he got hit in the head and knocked out. But Battle woke up hearing it, stepped outside the tent, and got hit badly on his right arm, left leg, and his right foot and left hand. After the bad guys left, Science woke up and saw that Battle was hurt badly. Battle could not move. So, Science used his pick-up spell, the first spell he learned when he was five years old, and brought Battle back to the town and took him to the hospital, and they could not heal him, no matter what they tried. That’s when he got his first robot pieces. He had to be able to eat metal because when his robot parts get damaged, they get replaced by new metal by eating it, so they gave him metal teeth.)
So Battle used his right arm to block off the attack. The person who tried to attack said, “what the…?” and kept trying to attack from every direction until he was worn out. Then Battle said, “Who are you? What are you doing here?” The person said, “Battle, is that you? It’s Stoner, your half-brother. We got separated at the battle! Our other brothers are here at the temple further inside looking for the jewel that’s been missing for thousands of years!” (Their names are Big Block and Block Head.) “I’m the one that’s guarding the door to make sure that no one comes in because we are the first ones trying to find the jewel and we want it all to ourselves.”
Battle said, “Why would you want it all to yourself? I’ve only heard that it’s rare because it can help you get strength.”
His brother couldn’t figure out a response so he said, “Battle, what happened to your right arm?”
Battle said, “We were in the forest training…”
“Training? I wasn’t in the forest with you.”
Battle said, “Oh, I’m sorry, this is my friend Science.” And he told the story of being in the forest and getting attacked by bad guys.
