Chapter 026

  Old Generation Clash

  Kingsman stops in place as Akita is *shocked* and sees Kenzo walk into the backdoor as he looks at Akita and says

  "Hello Akita, how is your morning?" Kingsman mouth is still open as he is stuck in place and he says

  "RUN!" Akita rushes towards the stairs but Kenzo taps her on the back of her neck stopping her in place as she falls forward and Kenzo catches her as he sits her in a chair and looks in Kingsman's eyes as Akita tries to move her legs but she is *scared* as she can't feel her legs and looks at Kenzo as she says

  “W-What’s going on Kenzo?” Kingsman says

  “Ak–” Kenzo taps the bottom of his jaw closing his mouth fully as he turns to Akita and says

  “Lord Kingsman here, decided to attack me before he left my library. And I told him I would drown him in a barrel in the lake, now come with me my lord!'' Kenzo puts Kingsman on his shoulder as he walks outside and puts him in a barrel next to the doorway as he picks up the barrel and Akita slowly stands up as she stumbles towards the door and Kenzo looks back into the house at her as he *smiles* and says

  “Have a good day Akita” Kenzo jumps into the air as Akita turns around and stumbles towards the stairs

  At the same time Kenzo lands in the middle of the village as he starts walking towards the gate but a voice from behind him says

  "Kenzo!?" Kenzo turns around as he sees Saigo with a slink on his arm and Gyomei standing next to him and he says

  “Hello General, Saigo” Gyomei is *confused* as he stares at Kingsman's legs hanging out of the barrel and says

  “What’s going on Kenzo, who’s in the barrel?” Kenzo looks up as he sees Kingsman legs and he *chuckles* as he says

  “Nothing to concern yourself with, but I must–” Suddenly a large bolt of lightning slams down behind him as a voice from behind him says

  “Let go of our Sensei, you old bastard!" Kenzo turns around as he sees Dai,Riku and Kenji standing there as Itsuki is on one knee *holding his head in pain* and Saigo is *shocked* as he says

  “Kingsman’s in the barrel!?” Itsuki stands up as he's *still holding his head in pain* and says

  “Riku…Get him!" Riku puts his hand up but Kenzo snaps and it creates a deafeningly loud sound as everyone drops to one knee and *hold their ears in pain* as he stomps on the ground with a large shock wave that knocks everyone onto the ground and Kenzo says

  “I’m sorry, but I made a promise to my lord for this to happen. And I will always uphold my word" Kenzo walks past all of them and out of the village gate as he walks to the right and through a small group of trees until he walks out and sees a large lake with a small island in the middle of it and Kenzo tosses the barrel to the side and jumps into the air as Kaito goes flying underneath him and Kaito lands on the water as Kenzo lands on the ground and looks into Kaito's eyes as he says

  “It’s been a long time my lord'' Kaito *clenches his fist in anger* as his hands surge with Icy Sun Flames and he says

  “What are you doing to my brother!?” Kenzo says

  “Me and Lord Kingsman have unfinished business, so if you’ll please excuse us” Kenzo walks over to the barrel and reaches for it as a ball of Icy Sun Flame flies past his face and he looks at Kaito and says

  “My lord please don’t do this again, I don’t wish to hurt you as well” Kaito says

  “I’m ready!” Kenzo is *shocked* as Kaito drops into the water and the ground starts to shake until it split opens as multiple balls of Icy Sun Flames shoot out of the ground and Kenzo dodges the fireballs as he leans back dodging Kaito's punch and catches his other fist as he kicks Kaito in the stomach making him slide back and Kenzo turns around as he says

  "We could have avoided this my lord, but-" Kenzo covers his eyes as Kaito surges with his Icy Sun Flames with such force it blinds Kenzo and Kenzo takes a step back and Kaito says

  “What are you going to do next Kenzo?” Kaito rushes Kenzo as he starts punching Kenzo pushing him back until Kenzo jumps into the air and he can slightly see Kaito in between his Icy Sun Flames but Kaito burns his flames even hotter again blinding Kenzo as Kenzo lands on the ground and closes his eyes as Kaito rushes him and tries to punch him but Kenzo deflects all of Kaito’s strikes as Kaito is *shocked* and Kenzo catches both of Kaito's hands as he slams his open palm into Kaito's chest with such force the wind is knocked out of him and he drops to his knees as his Icy Sun Flames dim and he *holds his chest in pain* as he looks up and notices Kenzo's starting to open his eyes and Kaito is *shocked* as he starts surging with his Icy Sun Flames but all of his flames stop in place as Kenzo *sighs* and says

  “I told you my lord, I didn’t want to do this!” Kenzo walks over to the barrel as he reaches for it but suddenly the ground splits underneath him as he looks down and a ball of Icy Sun Flames flies past Kenzo's face as it blinds him and he drops to his knees as he *holds his stomach in pain* and suddenly Kingsman starts *laughing* as he says

  “What’s wrong Kenzo? Can't focus, you should have known you can’t stop me!” Kaito stands up as he absorbs his flames and says

  “Now, lets try this a third time” Kingsman pulls himself out of the barrel as he walks towards Kenzo and suddenly a voice from beside him says

  “Sensei, you’re all right!” Kingsman turns around as he sees Itsuki,Dai,Kenji,Riku,Gyomei, and Saigo as he says

  “There’s no time for happiness, we’re about to fight!” Kenzo stands up as he keeps his eyes closed and says

  “My lord I made you a promise, and I intend on keeping it!” Dai steps in front of everyone as he says

  “I won’t let you!” Kingsman looks at Dai as he says

  “No, this time all of you really stay out of it!” Kingsman and Kaito both rush Kenzo as Kenzo dodges all of their strikes and Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  “Still as fast as ever Kenzo!” Kaito says

  “Too damn fast!” Kenzo *smiles* as he ducks both of there punches and punches them both in the stomach launching them back as they both land hard on the ground and while *holding their stomachs in pain* as Kingsman starts *painfully laughing harder* and says

  “Damn...Kenzo!” Kingsman slowly stands up as he looks at Kenzo and says

  “Too bad we’re not done yet though” Kingsman rushes Kenzo as they clash fist and they both *smile* as they continue to clash fist until Kingsman dodges both of Kenzo's strikes as he punches him in the stomach and Kingsman grabs Kenzo by the throat as he slams him into the ground and jumps back as he *laughs* and says

  "Maybe Dai was right about you, your just an old man now!" Kenzo slowly gets to his feet and Kingsman *smiles* as Kenzo looks at him with his eyes still closed and Kingsman and Kenzo slowly walk towards each other but they walk past each other and stop as Kingsman *laughs* and says

  "You going to be original or just going to keep copying me!?" Kenzo *smiles* as he says

  "Who do you think taught you how to do it!" They both turn around as they try to punch each other but both of them dodge eachothers punches as they *smile at each other* and they both start throwing punches but they both dodge each others strikes as everyone is *shocked* and Riku says

  "Wow, they can't touch each other at all!" Kenji is *amazed* says

  "So this is the true strength of Grandpa Kenzo!" Dai *smiles* as he says

  "I can still beat him!" Riku *sighs* and turns towards as he is *shocked* and notices Itsuki intensely watching Kingsman and Kenzo as his hands are tightly clenched into fist while there slightly surging with lightning and Riku turns back to Kingsman and Kenzo as there still perfectly dodging each others strikes until Kenzo grabs both of Kingsman’s wrist as he kicks one of Kingsman's legs and lets go of his wrist as he snaps with a deafening sound that drops everyone to their knees *holding their ears in pain* and Kingsman *screams in pain* and Kenzo knees Kingsman in the stomach as he throws him into the air and jumps above Kingsman as he knees Kingsman in the back sending him slamming into the ground and Kingsman slowly gets back to his feet but Kenzo punches Kingsman in the face launching him back and Kingsman lands hard on the ground as Itsuki rushes over to Kingsman and is *worried* as he says

  “Sensei, are you ok!?” Kingsman *holds his stomach in pain as he laughs* and says

  “Just need a few seconds...To recoup!” Dai starts walking towards Kenzo as Itsuki turns around and grabs his arm as he says

  “Sensei said we don’t fight him!” Dai looks at Kenzo as he says

  “Who else is going to do it?” Kingsman says

  “Itsuki...I’m counting on you to finish this battle!” Itsuki is *surprised* as he looks at Kingsman and says

  “Yes Sensei!” Itsuki let’s go of Dai’s arm as his hands surge with lightning and his sword appears as he walks towards Kenzo but Dai runs past him as he *smiles* and says

  “He’s mine!” Dai surges with fire as his fire gauntlets appear and he tries to hit Kenzo but Kenzo dodges all of his punches as he raises his fist but he suddenly jumps back as Itsuki slashes the ground and Itsuki looks at Dai as he says

  “Did you not see what he did to Sensei and Kaito! You can’t beat him with pure strength alone, we need a plan. Follow my lead!” Itsuki absorbs his sword as he opens his hands and his lightning bow forms as he starts firing arrows at Kenzo and Kenzo dodges all of the arrows as he starts walking towards Itsuki but Dai rushes behind Kenzo as he catches the arrows and covers them in fire as he starts throwing them back at Kenzo but he's able to dodge them as Itsuki absorbs his bow and catches the arrows as he starts throwing them back and the arrows start to surge harder with fire and lightning as Itsuki and Dai keep throwing them and Kenzo stops moving as he is still able to dodge all of the arrows until Dai and Itsuki start throwing the arrows faster and harder as one of the arrows grazes Kenzo’s cheek and Itsuki and Dai keep throwing the arrows as Kenzo rushes towards Itsuki's and Itsuki is *shocked* as he thinks

  "I thought we had him trapped, how is he coming towards me!?" Kenzo tries to punch Itsuki in the face but his fist stop inches from Itsuki's face and suddenly Kenzo starts getting pulled backwards as all of the arrows are pulled backwards and Kenzo turns around as he opens his eyes and sees a force field of wind pulling him towards it as he slams his feet into the ground keeping him anchored to the ground but suddenly Itsuki punches him in the face knocking him off of his feet as he's pulled into the force field and the pressure reverses as the wind pins Kenzo to the ground and the arrows flow around the force field towards him but Kenzo's able to push himself off the ground enough to dodge all of the arrows as Itsuki looks over and Riku says

  "What are you waiting for!? Shoot more arrows!" Itsuki closes his eyes as he summons his bows and *slows his breathing* as he slowly draws back on his bow and points it into the air as Dai is *confused* and says

  "Where are you aim-" Suddenly Itsuki opens his eyes as he surges with so much lightning the ground underneath them cracks and Itsuki fires hundreds of arrows into the sky as Dai *smiles* and says

  "I might have underestimated you!" Dai surges with fire as he holds one hand up and creates a giant fireball and throws it into the air as the arrows fall through it and erupt into flames as Riku put both of his hands up amplifying the force field and the force field spins even faster as it grows bigger pulling in all the arrows and Kenzo is able to dodge most of the arrows as he's slightly slashed by the rest until suddenly wind chains wrap around his arms and legs as he's slammed into the ground and all of the arrows fly towards Kenzo but suddenly the entire force field freezes stopping all the arrows right before they impale Kenzo all over his body and Riku looks at Itsuki as he says

  “Itsuki, do it!” Itsuki is *shocked* as he says

  “Won’t the explosion be too much for your force field?” Riku says

  “I’ll handle it!” Itsuki *smiles* as he says

  “All right!” Itsuki puts his hand up as all the arrows start surging with his lightning and they all explodes surging with fire and lightning as the force field stretch into the sky and is about to break but Riku slowly closes his hands together as the force field shrinks down and stabilizes as smoke conceals the inside and Kenji steps up to the force field as he says

  "Did you guys get him!?" Riku sits on the ground as he *tries to catch his breath* and says

  "If he still standing after that...Then we're finished!" Itsuki looks at the force field as he says

  "We won't know until you let the smoke out!" Riku slowly puts his hand up as the force field slowly spins and the smoke clears as they see Kenzo laying on the ground and Dai *laughs* as he says

  “I knew I wouldn’t lose” Kingsman and Kaito both stand up as Dai walks up to Kingsman and says

  “At this point, I’m ready to fight you Sensei! I’ve beat a monster as strong as you, and now I just beat your old Sensei! But I'll beat Kaito next and then I'm coming for you!" Kingsman *laughs* as he points behind Dai and says

  “You might want to look again” All of them turn around and is *shocked* as they see Kenzo slowly standing up and Kingsman takes a step forward as him and Kenzo lock eyes but neither of them moves and Riku looks at Kingsman as he is *confused* and says

  “Did he use his ability on Sensei again?” Itsuki says

  “No, look under Kenzo’s feet! Sensei has him trapped!” Riku looks down as he notices a pool of darkness underneath Kenzo's feet and says

  “And the pool won’t activate until Sensei releases it, so they're locked in a stalemate!” Dai *smiles* as he says

  “Alright then, I'll end it with one hit then!" Kenji is *shocked* as he says

  “Dai no!” Dai rushes Kenzo as his hands surge with fire and morphing into his fire gauntlets as he says

  "This is for last time you old bastard!" Dai punches Kenzo in the face with such force the ground underneath them is destroyed as Kenzo is launched extremely high into the air and Dai tries to jump but everyone is stopped in place as Kenzo lands on the ground and Kingsman is *annoyed* as he says

  “Damn it, Dai!” Kenzo looks at Dai as he says

  "That was actually quite a strong punch, it could have killed someone weaker! Now, allow me to return the favor!" Kenzo walks up to Dai as he lifts his fist an inch from Dai's chest and Dai is *shocked* as he says

  "Don't tou-" Kenzo punches Dai in the chest knocking all the wind out of him and Kenzo walks past Dai and up to Kingsman as he *smiles* and says

  "Let's finish what we started, my lord!" Kenzo picks Kingsman up as he puts him back in the barrel and throws him extremely high into the air as the barrel slams into the middle of the water and sinks as Kenzo sits on the edge of the water and looks out across the lake as he says

  "This place is so peaceful!" Suddenly Kingsman's head pops out of the water as he's still in the barrel and he starts *coughing up water* as Itsuki rushes over and jumps into the lake as he pulls the barrel out of the water and onto land as Kingsman stands up destroying the barrel and Kenzo looks at him as he says

  “I thought you could hold your breath for hours underwater?” Kingsman looks at Kenzo as he says

  “I can, but only when I can close my MOUTH!” Kingsman *spits water on the ground* as Gyomei and Saigo both start *laughing* and Kingsman looks towards them as he rushes over and punches them both in the stomach dropping them to the floor as he grabs them both by the back of there necks and drags them both to the edge of the water as he forces both of there heads under the water until he pulls them out as he *angrily* says

  “Is it still funny!?” Kingsman drops their heads back underwater as Kaito walks up to Kingmsan and says

  “Alright, Saigo can’t get his slink wet" Kingsman pulls them both out as he throws them back and says

  “As a matter of fact, now that you can walk Saigo...Your training with me!" Saigo *coughs up water* as he is *shocked* and says

  “What!?” Kingsman walks up to Saigo as he grabs his shoulder and they both disappear as Gyomei *coughs up water and is shocked* and stands up as he says

  “What the hell is Kingsman doing!?” Kaito *chuckles* as he says

  “Looks like Kingsman is going to train Saigo” Kenzo *laughs* as he says

  “I have a feeling Kingsman’s training is going to be a bit harder than usual!” Gyomei is *panicked* as he says

  “Damn it!” Gyomei turns around as Kenzo says

  “There’s no point of running when Itsuki can teleport, if you wouldn't mind?" Everyone circles around Itsuki as Itsuki is *nervous* and thinks

  “This is too many people...Hopefully I can handle it!” Itsuki puts his hand up as he calls down lightning

  At the same time Two mysterious men are sitting on the roof of a building as One of them says

  “She said she wants him back...Supposedly he could be useful to us now!” The Other One *smiles* as he says

  “I guess it’s time we go get him then” The First One *sighs* as he stands up and says

  “He was a pest, but if that’s what she wants...Then I guess we’ll have to do it!”

  At the same time lightning slams down in Kingsman's backyard as Itsuki falls onto the ground and Kenji is *shocked* as he crouches down and says

  "Itsuki, are you ok!?" Everyone is *shocked* as they step past Itsuki and looks at Kingsman's house as it's wrapped in Kingsman's darkness and Kaito slowly walks up to the house as he puts his hand up near the darkness and says

  “It feels hot, like it’s fire...But volatile!” Gyomei rushes up to the house as he starts punching the house and his fist bounces off of the darkness as he continues relentlessly punching the darkness and Kenzo sits on the ground as he says

  “There’s no point, you’re not getting in unless Kingsman wants you in. I remember when he did this to a old broken down house...I believe it was his old home!” Kaito looks at Kenzo as he says

  “That’s right! He didn’t come out for almost a month!” Akita is *shocked* as she walks up the hill and sees everyone standing in the backyard and everyone looks at her as she says

  “Oh, I didn't expect all of you to be here. I just got enough dumplings for me and Kingsman” Akita walks over as she reaches through the darkness and opens the backdoor as she walks into the house and everyone is *shocked* except Kaito and Kenzo as Akita looks at them and says

  "You can all come in, would you like me to make something?" Riku stands up as he walks up to the house and steps through the darkness into the house as he sits down at the kitchen table and starts talking with Akita as Itsuki slowly stands up and *holds his head in pain* as he walks up to the house and steps through the darkness as he sits down at the kitchen table and Dai *laughs* as he looks at Gyomei and says

  "I guess Sensei only wants the people that live here inside!" Dai walks up to the house as he tries to step through the darkness but can't as he is *shocked* and says

  “What the hell!?” Kenzo and Kaito both start *laughing* as Kenzo says

  "Then I guess you've been kicked out!" Dai gets *angry* as he starts punching the darkness and Gyomei sits down on the ground as Kenji walks up to the house and tries to step through the darkness but he can't and is *shocked* as he says

  “What did I do!?” Kaito and Kenzo are still *laughing* and Gyomei looks at them as he says

  “How are we going to get Saigo out of there?” Kenzo says

  “You can’t” Kaito says

  “Well, there’s a chance you could. But are you willing to put your body on the line?” Gyomei says

  “What is it?” Kaito says

  “Are you sure?” Gyomei says

  “I need to get Saigo out of there, I’ll do whatever it takes!'' Kaito says

  “All right, since Kingsman only lets the people he wants inside there’s only one option. You have to get Akita to come out here, and then all you have to do is try and attack her” Gyomei is *shocked* as he says

  “What!?” Kaito says

  “I’ve never seen someone try and attack Akita and Kingsman didn’t appear out of thin air and kill, and since Akita can pass through the darkness she’s your only option” Gyomei says

  “What about the little girl?” Everyone goes silent as they stare at Gyomei and Kaito says

  “You mean…Hana!?” Gyomei says

  “Yeah, I could just scare her” Kaito looks into Gyomei's eyes as he says

  “You don’t understand what you’re risking by even thinking that...With Akita, Kingsman may just beat you. But if you even look at Hana with bad intentions, Kingsman won’t kill you. He’ll inflict the worst and most unthinkable kinds of torture on you...This is not me speaking in possibility this has already happened! If you really value your life, you’ll never let that thought pass through your mind again!” Gyomei is *shocked* as he says

  “I’m sorry my lord, I didn’t mean to upset you I would never have hurt her!” Kaito says

  “You did not upset me, but whether you meant to hurt her or not means nothing. The things I’ve seen Kingsman do to people for less, is the reason I’m telling you this is not an idea you need to think again!” Gyomei says

  “I understand my–” Gyomei is *stunned* as he looks at the house and sees the darkness on the house condenses as he can't see into the backdoor and the house becomes a black void until suddenly he sees Kingsman and Saigo inside the darkness as Kingsman punches Saigo in the stomach sending him flying and Gyomei takes a step forward but he stops as Kingsman turns and looks at him as he starts *shaking with fear* and Kingsman slowly walks to the edge of the darkness as he slowly steps out onto the ground and walks up to Gyomei as Gyomei *nervously looks around* and notices nothing is moving around him as Kingsman stops in front of him and Gyomei slowly looks into Kingsman's red eyes as the darkness around him cast shadows that run behind Gyomei and he says

  “I’m sorry...I must have misheard you! Who did you say?” Gyomei is *nervously shaking as in a shaky voice* says

  “I…I…Um…No one, my lord!” Kingsman leans closer as he says

  “Are you sure...I thought I heard you clearly say something earlier!?” Gyomei starts *violently shaking with fear* as he says

  “I–I said…W–We should use Kenji! To lure you out...And save Saigo!” Kingsman grabs the side of Gyomei's face as he says

  “You wouldn’t lie to me, would you Gyomei?” Gyomei looks away from Kingsman as he *nervously* says

  “No, of course not my lord!” Kingsman says

  “Good!” Kingsman lets go of his face as he turns around and walks towards the house as Saigo rushes up to the edge of the darkness and starts banging on it as he sees Gyomei and Kingsman steps into the darkness as he walks deeper into it and reaches back as he grabs Saigo by the back of his neck dragging him deeper into the darkness and Gyomei watches as they both disappear into the darkness and suddenly he feels someone grab his arm as Kaito says

  "Gyomei, can you hear me!? Are you ok!?" Gyomei looks at Kaito in *shock* as he notices everyone looking at him as well and he looks at the house as he can see into the house through the darkness on the house and he looks at Kaito as he says

  “You didn’t see that?” Kaito is *confused* as he says

  “See what?” Kenzo says

  “I think it’s best if we just all sit down and relax” Gyomei says

  “Yeah…Ok” Gyomei sits on the ground as he thinks

  “I must have imagined all of it–” Suddenly a drop of blood falls from the small cut on his cheek as he’s *shocked*

  At the same time Kingsman is dragging Saigo across his endless beautiful oasis by his collar until Saigo starts taking off his shirt as Kingsman trips him and grabs him by his leg continues dragging him across the oasis as Saigo is *exhausted* and says

  “I’m sorry…Just let me go already!” Kingsman says

  “Not yet!” Saigo tries to shake Kingsman’s grip loose but he can’t as Kingsman *smiles* and says

  “Just one more fight!” Saigo *sighs* as he says

  “We’ve killed like thirty already!” Kingsman says

  “One more won’t kill you” Saigo says

  “Yes it will, I can barely stand!” Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  "Then Gyomei is going to be really mad!" Kingsman throws Saigo forwards as Saigo is *shocked* and leans back as he flies past A Creature's fist and he lands on his feet as The Creature rushes him and Saigo turns around as The Creature tries to punch him but Saigo dodges its punches as Kingsman looks at him and *smiles* as he says

  “Come on Saigo, don’t you want to grow up and be big and strong like you’re all might lord!” Saigo continues dodging The Creature's strikes as he says

  “I don’t want to be anything like you” Kingsman says

  “Welp, that’s why your weak!" Saigo catches The Creature's wrist as he kicks it in the stomach twice and twist The Creature's wrist to the side as he uppercuts it and pushes it into the air as he grabs it by the leg and slams it into the ground as he punches it in the chest and he jumps into the air as he tries to stomp on The Creature's chest but it catches his foot as he is *shocked* and it throws him into the air with such force Saigo is *disoriented* as he flies back through the air until he's able to looks down and he is *shocked* as he can't see The Creature and suddenly he feels a presence behind him and he quickly turns around as he tries to punch The Creature but The Creature punches Saigo in the stomach as he's launched back and slams into the ground as he *screams in pain* and Saigo slowly looks towards Kingsman as Kingsman says

  "Don't look at me, your opponent isn't done yet!" Suddenly Saigo *spits up blood* as The Creature punches him in the stomach and The Creature starts relentlessly trying to punch Saigo as Saigo blocks some of its hits with one hand and moves his stomach as he dodges more of its hits but The Creature's punching so fast it's still hitting Saigo as Kingsman crouches down next to them and looks at Saigo as he says

  “I could help if you like” Saigo is *panicked* as he says

  “Get this thing off of me!” Kingsman says

  “Say it!” Saigo *sighs* as he says

  “Damn it, Please help me...Oh Mighty Lord!” Kingsman *laughs* and grabs Saigo’s arm in the slink as Saigo is *shocked* and says

  “What are you–” Kingsman pops Saigo’s arm back in place as Saigo *screams in pain* and Kingsman taps the chest of The Creature as it goes flying back and slams into the ground as Kingsman stands up and it quickly stands up as it rushes towards Saigo and jumps into the air as it tries to grab his throat but Saigo catches both of it's wrist as he headbutts and slams it into the ground as he stands up and it slowly starts standing up as Saigo punches it in the back of its heads and slams it into the ground as he kicks it in the chest sending it flying back and Saigo is *shocked* as he holds up his hand and says

  “Thank you Kingsman, you've allowed me to show the world the full power of Saigo once more!" Saigo rushes The Creature as it stands up and tries to punch him but he pushes its hand away as he hits it twice in the stomach and across the face as its sent flying back and sending it flying and Saigo is *smiles* as he thinks

  "I can really fight again, Kenshin...I won't fail you!" Saigo rushes The Creature again as he grabs it by the neck and tosses it in the air as he starts relentlessly punching The Creature all over its body with such force and speed every hit leaves The Creature suspended in the air until Saigo punches The Creature through the stomach as it falls to the ground and Saigo stomps its head in as Kingsman *laughs* and says

  “Seems like you’re back to your old self, hell you seem even better than your old self” Saigo looks at Kingsman as he says

  “I’ve never felt like this before, it feels like a fire is burning hot inside of me!” Saigo *slows his breathing* as he looks around and says

  “Now that I’m not about to be murder, I can actually admit that this place is actually quite beautiful!” Kingsman says

  “Good, we’ll be ready to handle everything in no time. Next time i’ll have you fight one of the more advanced ones as a matter of fact–” Suddenly a giant roar rings out shaking entire oasis

  At the same time Kaito and Kenzo are sitting down talking as Kenji and Dai are laying on the ground sleeping and Gyomei is pacing back and forth as suddenly the darkness on the house starts fading away and everyone looks up in *shock* and Dai and Kenji both sit up as Kaito says

  “I guess they're finally done!" Suddenly the back door flies open as Kingsman flies out and slams into the ground and everyone is *stunned* as they see Kingsman's bloody body and Dai rushes over as croutches next to Kingsman and is *worried* as he says

  "Sensei!" Kenji rushes over to Kingsman as he is *shocked* and says

  “Father, what happened!?” Suddenly Itsuki and Riku fly out of the house as they slam into the ground next to Kingsman's body with black rods stuck all through them and Kenzo is *shocked* as he stands up and says

  “No!” Kaito is *angry* as he says

  “What the hell happened!?” Kenji is *worried* as he looks at the back door and says

  "Where is our mother and sister!?" Suddenly the ground starts shaking as everyone looks up and sees A Giant disfigured Creature walking out of the backdoor holding Saigo's lifeless body by his neck as Gyomei is *panicked* and screams

  “SAIGO!” Kenzo grabs Gyomei's wrist as Gyomei looks into his eyes and Kenzo says

  “That thing killed Kingsman,Itsuki,and Riku! You rushing it blindly will only get you killed!” Kenji is *scared* as he takes a step back and Dai steps in front of Kingsman as his fire violently surges and he screams

  "I'LL KILL YOU!" The Creature walks up to Dai but Dai doesn't move as he stares The Creature in its eyes and they both throws a punch towards each other as a ice wall shoots up next to Dai and Dai tries to punch The Creature but it punches through the ice wall as it hits him in the chest and launches him back as he slams extremely hard into the ground and Dai stands up as his hands surge with fire morphing into his fire gauntlets but Kenji grab Dai's arm as Dai is *angry* and says

  "Get off of me!" Kenji says

  "Stop Dai, you can't beat that thing!" Dai looks into Kenji eyes as he *angrily* says

  "That thing just killed our father, you think I'm just going to let it get away with it!" The Creature grabs Kingsman lifeless body as two more arms come out of its sides and grabs both Itsuki and Riku by their necks and The Creature covers them all in darkness as The Creature starts to shape into the form of a man and Dai is *confused* as he says

  “What the hell is it doing!?” Kenzo is *shocked* as he says

  “It’s absorbing them and fusing all of them together!” The Creature fully transforms into a man as it has four arms and it’s two primary arms are holding Kingsman and Itsuki blades as both bottom hands are covered in Riku’s wind and Kenji is *scared* as he says

  “No,NO! We can’t beat that, if it’s all of them fused together...We can't win!" Kaito takes a step forward as he says

  ““You're not wrong, I have no faith that we can win this battle. No matter how badly I want revenge, I can do nothing!” Kenji is *shocked* and says

  “Wait, but you and Kenzo have been able to stand against my father before. I know Gyomei can do something, and we can too!” Kenzo says

  “No one has ever fought Kingsman when he was going all out with no remorse in a very long time, if we take this battle...There’s no guarantee that some of us will survive!" Kaito says

  “But even though we’ve never fought him like that...We still have people to protect!” Gyomei looks at The Creature as he *clenches his fist in anger* and says

  “That thing killed Saigo, let’s kill it already!” Kaito's hands surges with his Icy Sun Flames as he says

  “Be ready...For the worst fight of your lives!” Kenzo, Kaito and Gyomei rushes The Creature as they all try attacking together but The Creature dodges all of there's attacks as it crosses its lower fingers and starts choking Kenzo and Gyomei using Riku's wind as there pulled into the air and The Creature tosses Kingsman and Itsuki's sword into the air as it starts blocking all of Kaito's punches with the palms of it's hand until it catches Kingsman and Itsuki's swords as he dodges Kaito's strikes and turns its back as it throws there swords into the air and turns around as it starts blocking all of Kaito's punches with the palms of its hands until it grabs both of Kaito's wrist and knees him in the stomach as it lets go of his wrist and slams both of its hands down on Kaito's shoulders as he slams into the ground and The Creature turns around as it looks into Kenzo and Gyomei's eyes as it uncrosses its lower fingers and they go flying back as they slam into Kaito and The Creature roars as in a distorted voice says

  “Kneel!” Kenzo *holds his chest in pain* as he says

  “Maybe...This is a less bloody route, for now!” Kenzo kneels as Kenji,Gyomei, and Kaito do as well but Dai *screams in anger* as his fire violently surges and he says

  “Hell no, you killed my father!” Dai rushes The Creature as it tries to grab his face but he ducks its hand as his right gauntlet brightly surges and he punches The Creature in the stomach as he uses

  "Flare Fist" But Dai's arm breaks as he *screams in pain* and The Creature slowly looks into Dai's eyes as Dai *screams in anger* and tries to punch The Creature as his left gauntlet violently surges with fire but The Creature punches him in the top of his head slamming him into the ground as Kenji is *shocked* and looks up at Dai as The Creature turns to them and in a distorted voice screams

  “I SAID KNEEL!” Kenji is *scared* as he falls back to the ground and everyone is kneeling with there head down as they start *shaking with fear* but suddenly it starts *laughing* and all of them are *shocked* as they look up and see The Creature *laughing* as it slowly splits down the middle and everyone sees Kingsman,Saigo,Riku, and Itsuki standing there *laughing* as Kenji is *confused* and says

  “What!?” Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “It was a joke!” Gyomei gets *angry* and screams

  "WHAT KIND OF FUCKING JOKE IS THAT!?" Gyomei rushes Kingsman as he tries to punch him but Saigo catches his fist as Gyomei is *shocked* and says

  “Your arm!” Saigo *smiles* as he says

  “I’m good!” Saigo flips Gyomei as he slams him into the ground and looks down at him as he says

  “Even better than good!” Gyomei *laughs* as Saigo sticks his hand out to Gyomei and Gyomei grabs it as Saigo pulls him up and Kingsman walks up to Dai as he kneels down next to him and says

  “Show me your arm!” Dai *holds his arm in pain* as he says

  “I’m good!” Dai tries to stand up but Kingsman flicks his head as he falls back onto the ground and he says

  “It wasn’t a question!” Dai holds his broken right arm out as Kingsman puts his hand on Dai’s arm and his darkness flows from his hand onto Dai’s arm as Dai’s arm snaps back in place and Dai’s arm is healed and everyone is *shocked* and Kaito says

  “You can heal people!?” Kingsman *sighs* as he says

  “More like reverting there bodies, but it’s dangerous!” Gyomei is *in disbelief* as he says

  “Wait...If you can heal people, why didn’t you heal Saigo when him and Kenshin first arrived? You could have saved Kenshin!” Kingsman says

  “It’s not a healing ability! It’s an ability that allows me to revert your body back to any point in time, but requires my darkness to fuse with you. A small break like this wouldn’t allow my darkness to take control of his body, but Saigo and Kenshin were on the verge of death! My darkness would have completely consumed them, Kenshin would have been alive...But just not the man you once knew! Kenshin was dead, the man you knew wouldn’t have been the man who came back!” Saigo is *amazed* as he says

  “That’s an fascinating ability!” Kingsman says

  “With a big risk” Gyomei is *frustrated* as he says

  “Enough of this, why the hell we’re all of you gone for a week!?” Saigo is *shocked* as he says

  “A week!?” Kingsman says

  “Time moves differently inside of my dimension...Technically in my dimension time doesn’t exist, but it’s the easiest way for you to understand it!” Saigo says

  “It felt like we we’re gone for just a couple minutes!” Kenji is *shocked* as he says

  “What!? When I was inside of it a few minutes felt like life times!” Kingsman says

  “It depends on the deeps of my darkness you're in, I can manipulate how time flows inside my dimension. When you get older I might even give you your own dimension” Saigo says

  “Everything is starting to feel weird now” Kingsman says

  “You’ll get used to it” Dai looks at Kingsman as he says

  “When are you going to let me inside that place to train?” Kingsman *smiles* as he grabs Dai's on his shoulder and says

  “The moment you can control your power, and handle yourself against me!” Dai *smiles* as he pushes Kingsman hand away and says

  “Are you saying Saigo can handle himself against you!?” Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  “I guess you have a point, but I’ve already seen you fight one of The Creatures I’ve created and you couldn’t really handle yourself to well!” Dai says

  “I can beat them by myself!” Kingsman *smiles* as he shrugs and says

  "Ok, if you say so!" Kingsman snaps as five portals open up and five of The Creatures group out as they surround Dai and Kingsman until Kingsman jumps back out of the circle and looks at Dai as he says

  “Go ahead!” Dai *smiles* as his hands surge with fire morphing into his fire gauntlets and he closes his eyes as he slams his fist together and his fire starts melting the ground around them as Dai rushes one of them and tries to punch it in the chest but all of there skins suddenly turns blue as Dai's fist bounces off of it's chest and Dai is *shocked* as he jumps back to the center of the circle and The Creatures body starts to cover themselves in a blue crystal like substance as Kingsman says

  “The only time anyone outside of the basement has fought a one of these creatures they were weaker and less adaptive as they leave themselves vulnerable to lethal strikes, but now you’ll have to find a way to beat the ones closer to the ones I fight on a daily basis. I'd advise that you kill them quickly, because once you find a way to kill one the others will adapt! They will become stronger and much harder to kill, damn near impossible if you're just trying to use strength alone! Now if you truly want to train with me in the basement, prove to me you can adapt under stress!” Dai thinks

  "This crystal had to come from my fire surging off of me, so I'll need to just punch through it!" Dai puts his right hand up as his fire gauntlet surges with fire and he rushes one of The Creature's as he punches towards The Creature's chest and his fire gauntlet suddenly disappears as he punches The Creature but his fist bounces off of the crystal like substance without even scratching it as he is *stunned* and The Creature looks down at him as it kicks him in the chest sending him flying back and slamming into the middle of the circle as Kingsman crosses his arms and says

  “Your strength and fire have now been countered, what will you do!?” Dai *screams in anger* as his fire burns hotter and rushes The Creature as he starts swinging relentlessly and with every hit he makes his fire hotter as he *screams in frustration* and Kingsman thinks

  "Your smarter than this...What are you plotting!?" The Creature looks down at Dai as it tries to punch him but Dai dodges it fist as he catches The Creatures arm and turns it around as he slams it into it's chest as the crystal cracks and Dai notices a hole in the crystal as he punches his right hand through the hole and punches The Creature in the stomach as Dai's right hand violently surges with fire all throughout the crystal until The Creatures explodes as Dai slides back and Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  "Good, but what about the rest!?" Dai looks at the rest of The Creature's as he notices all of the crystal's around them turn a dense shade of blue and Dai tries to walk forward as he drops to one knee and Kingsman says

  "Fighting enemies you cannot physically beat will drain if that's all you've known, you need to create different openings for your victory! Your strategy isn't necessarily wrong, but the wrong approach could cost you the battle!" Dai *slows his breathing* as he notices a shard of crystal on the ground and he grabs it as he slowly stands up and walks over to one of The Creature's as he slowly lifts the shard up and slams it into The Creature's chest but it barely leaves a scratch on the crystal and Dai is *out of breath* as he says

  “Damn it!” Dai jumps back as he puts a hand on his chest and *slows his heavy breathing* as his right hand covers in a thin layer of fire and he takes a step forward as he throws a punch towards a Creature and fall backwards onto the ground as Kingsman is *shocked* and sees a small flaming fist flying through the air as it passes through the crystal around The Creature and Kingsman takes a step forward as he looks between Dai and The Creature as he thinks

  “Did he just!?” Kingsman notices The Creature turns red as it starts shaking and the armor cracks all over as Kingsman snaps and a portal opens up underneath all of The Creatures as they drop through the portal and a giant explosion shoots through the portal shaking everything as everyone except Kingsman is *shocked* and Dai *holds his stomach in pain* as he says

  “I just need a minute…I haven’t eaten in a week!” Kingsman *laughs* and Dai slowly sits up as he looks at Kingsman and says

  “Don’t worry Sensei...I’m far from done!” Dai slowly stands up as Kingsman walks up to him and pokes him in the stomach as he drops to one knee *holding his stomach in pain* and says

  “Don’t…Do that!” Kingsman says

  “How are you going to fight when you can barely function?” Dai says

  “I’ll manage!” Dai slowly stands up as Kingsman says

  “Are you sure?” Dai says

  “Yes!” Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “Ok…” Kingsman turns around as he walks over to the house and jumps onto the roof as he looks at everyone and says

  “If you truly believe you'll manage, then I do as well! The first person to poke Dai in the stomach, I'll give you the biggest feast you've ever seen!" Dai is *shocked* as he turns around and sees everyone staring at him and he puts his hands up as he tries to cover his hand in fire but his fire barely covers his fingers as he turns around and tries to run but he stops as he sees Saigo and Gyomei behind him and Dai covers his stomach as he says

  "If you touch me..." Suddenly Dai notices Itsuki and Kenji to his left as Kenzo and Kaito are to his right and Dai *clenches his fist in anger* as he turns towards Kenzo and Kaito but suddenly all of them are pushed away as Dai notices Riku's force field around him and he turns around as he sees Riku standing behind him and Riku says

  “I’m sorry!” Dai tries to punch Riku but Riku ducks his punch as he elbows Dai in the stomach and Dai falls onto his face as he *holds his stomach in pain* until he passes out as Kingsman drops down off of the roof and Riku drops his force field as Kingsman walks up to Dai and picks him up and puts him on his shoulder as he *laughs* and says

  “Let’s go Riku!” Kingsman turns around as Riku follows him into the back door and Riku is *stunned* as he walks into the back door and sees a table full of food as Dai's head slowly lifts and he sniffs the air as his eyes slowly opens and he sees the table full of food and Dai looks at Kingsman as he says

  "Is this...For me!?" Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  "Technically, but no!" Riku sits down at the table as notices there's eleven chairs around the table and Kingsman sits Dai in his chair as Dai slowly looks at the table and reaches for the forward towards the food but Kingsman grabs his wrist as he says

  "Unfortunately, you cannot eat yet! Riku is the one who beat you, so he eats first and as much as he wants too!" Dai is *frustrated as he weakly* says

  "He didn't-" Riku *smiles* as he looks at Kingsman and says

  "It's ok dad, everyone can eat!" Suddenly everyone sits down at the table as Kingsman is *shocked* and says

  "Where the hell did all of you hungry bums come from!? This isn't a homeless shelter!" Kaito *laughs* as he says

  "We've all been so worried about waiting for you to come outside with Saigo that none of us have eaten, we at least deserve something!" Kingsman walks over with his back to the stairs as he looks at them and says

  "You want me to believe my wife offered you nothing, for an entire week with you camping outside!" Kenzo *laughs* as he says

  "Of course not, Akita was as sweet as ever but she always invited us in. And because of you we could never accept that offer, so we went hungry as we waited for Saigo's safe return from you!" Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

  "That sounds like her, but I'm surprised she didn't try to carry something out to all of you!" Kenji *laughs* as he says

  "She did, but she almost dropped the food and we had to beg her not to bring anything outside! You know how mom is, she wouldn't want someone eating before everyone had something!" Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  "Now that sounds exactly like her, but don't any of you dare take a bite of that food without showing gratitude to the one who cares for all of you!" Kenji,Riku,Dai,and Itsuki *smile* as they says

  “Thank you, father!” Saigo,Gyomei,and Kaito *smiles* as they say

  “Thank you, Kingsman” Kenzo *smiles* as he says

  “Thank you, my lord” Kingsman is *shocked* as he says

  “What!? I don't even like half the people in this room, why would I cook for you!" Akita steps next to Kingsman as everyone *smiles* and says

  "Thank you Akita!" Gyomei *chuckles* as he says

  "I should have known you didn't make it, your food never smelled this good!" Kingsman looks at Gyomei as he says

  "You know I'll-" Akita is *shocked* as she says

  "Kingsman, be nice! Let's enjoy the food" Kingsman *chuckles* as he pulls Akita to his opposite side and away from the stairs as he *whistles* and Tadashi rushes downstairs with Hana on his back as Kingsman *smiles* and says

  "Hello Little one, Tadashi!" Hana looks at Kingsman as she *smiles* and says

  "Daddy, I missed you!" Kingsman puts his hand on her head as he says

  "I've missed you too, are you hungry!?" Hana says

  "Yeah! Me and Kitty have been playing all day, and were really hungry!" Kingsman snaps as a portal opens up and he reaches into it as he pulls out a giant piece of meat and tosses it to Tadashi as he catches it and drags it next to Kingsman's chair as Kingsman walks over and picks up Hana off his back as he sits her in her chair and sits down as Akita sits next to him and everyone starts eating and *laughing* as they all talk until everyone finishes there food and and Kenzo looks at Akita as he *smiles* and says

  “That was amazing Akita, thank you so much!” Akita *smiles* as she says

  “You're welcome Kenzo!” Kenzo stands up and Kingsman says

  “You’re leaving Kenzo?” Kenzo says

  “Yes my lord, I must get back to the library” Kingsman says

  “Alright then, have a goodnight!” Dai is *tired* as he slowly stands up and looks at Akita as he says

  "That was amazing, Thank you!" Akita *smiles* as she says

  "I'm so glad all of you enjoyed it!" Kingsman says

  “All of you upstairs and sleep, I might have something planned for tomorrow” Kenji,Riku and Itsuki stand up as Dai walk upstairs and Kenji *smiles* as he says

  "Thanks mom, it was really good!" Itsuki *smiles* as he says

  "Mom, that might have been the best thing I ever ate!" Riku *smiles* as he says

  "That definitely was the best meal I've ever had, you're definitely the better cook mom!" Akita is *shocked as she smiles with tears in her eyes* and says

  "...All of you truly cannot believe how happy you've made me, and I truly appreciate that all you enjoyed the food! But it's time for all of you to go to sleep!" Riku,Kenji, and Itsuki walk upstairs as Kingsman looks at Akita and *smiles* as he says

  “I’ll handle the dishes, you can get some sleep” Akita *smiles* as she kisses Kingsman on the cheek and says

  “Ok, goodnight everyone!” Akita walks upstairs as Saigo looks at Kingsman and says

  “Now that I'm back, how are we going to get rid of Kei?” Kingsman says

  “We don’t, we won’t let him know that we know he’s behind this. Not yet at least, also meaning he cannot know you're alive yet!” Saigo is *shocked* as he says

  “Why not!? It’s not like we can’t handle them now, we’ll eliminate a threat before they become even more of a problem!” Kingsman says

  “Gyomei, lift up your shirt” Gyomei lifts up his shirt as Saigo sees the universe in his chest and Kingsman says

  “This orb apparently has the power of an entire universe inside of it, how did they gain access to this power?" Saigo is *confused* as he says

  "I...Uhh-" Kingsman says

  "A different question then, who has the capability to sugate an entire universe and hand them out like candy!?" Saigo is *even more confused* as he says

  "...I don't know!" Kingsman says

  "Ok, I'll ask one very simple question then. Who is the one that gave them this power!?" Saigo *sighs* as he says

  "I don't know...But they killed Kenshin!" Kingsman says

  "And killing them right now will only hurt us, we will lose our knowledge of the enemy! As long as the one who gave them this power isn't here, we cannot truly win! If we kill them all right now that person will simply find a new host for its power, creating a possibly even more dangerous enemy for us without any knowledge of them!" Gyomei says

  “So we are waiting for that person to come back, and then we can kill them all!?" Kingsman looks at Gyomei as he says

  “Exactly, Kei and the others are simply pawns in a bigger game they don’t understand. I don’t even think the one that gave them that power is in full control either, because MIura said they need to earn more universes by subjugating this world!" Kaito says

  “ I guess we’ll find out after we defeat them!” Gyomei says

  “So, how do we proceed?” Kingsman says

  “We counter every move they make, we cannot move before. After we’ve gotten them backed into a corner, Kei will be forced to summon them again! After that two things can happen, either they can grant him more power or if they're not in control like I believe they shouldn't have unlimited access to universes and they should have to step in themselves!" Saigo says

  “As long as I get revenge for Kenshin, I don’t care how long it takes!" Kingsman says

  “Don’t worry, we’ll get Minato and Masaru soon enough. I just need you and Gyomei to stay patient!” Gyomei says

  “We’ll be waiting for our opportunity” Gyomei and Saigo stand up and Kingsman stands up as he says

  “We should go visit him!” Saigo is *shocked* as he says

  “Visit who?” Kingsman says

  “Kenshin, it’s been too long. Plus none of you have gotten to say goodbye to him yet” Saigo closes his eyes as he says

  “Where is he?” Kingsman says

  “Underneath the only Red Dragon tree in the village!” Saigo is *stunned* as he opens his eyes and says

  “Our secret spot! But how did you–” Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “Gyomei told me the stories that all of you would share together around the fire, I was hoping all of you would share another story with Kenshin...One final time!" Saigo *sheds a tear* as he says

  “Yeah…We can share one more story with Kenshin” Kingsman says

  “Then let’s go!”
