Chapter 028

  Old Family Or New

  Kenji is *shocked* and says

  “What!? You’ve never mentioned them before'' Osaki says

  “How rude of you Dai, to not mention your loving brothers to your friends. Allow me to do it myself then, my name is Osaki Mikenaka. And this is my brother Kondo Mikenaka'' Kondo says

  “We don’t have time for this, Dai let’s go!” Kenji says

  “What the hell are you talking about? Dai’s not going–” Kenji is *shocked* as he sees Dai walks past him and Kenji grabs his arm as he says

  “What the hell are you doing!?” Dai turns around as he hugs Kenji and says

  “I’m sorry Kenji...Tell Sensei it was fun!” Dai let’s go of Kenji as he turns to walk away and tries to walk away but Kenji doesn’t let go of Dai’s arm as he says

  “No, I won’t let you leave!” Dai says

  “Kenji...I have to!'' Kenji says

  “No you don't, and I won’t let you just leave like this! If you want to leave then you talk to our father about it!” Osaki *chuckles* as he says

  “Father? We do not have a Father anymore, isn’t that right Dai!?” Kenji gets *angry* as he looks at Osaki and screams

  “SHUT UP!” Osaki *smiles* as he says

  “Look brother, he’s getting emotional” Dai grabs Kenji's wrist with his other hand but suddenly both of his hands are frozen as he looks at Kenji and notices Kenji's arms start covering with his ice as Kenji says

  “You don’t just get to run off like this, you wouldn’t let Riku do it and I won’t let you do it!” Dai says

  “I–” Kondo says

  “Like I just said, we don’t have time! I don't care if you have to kill him, get over here now!" Dai hands erupts in flames as Kenji is *shocked* and says

  "Dai-" Dai snatches his hands out of Kenji's grip shattering the ice around his hands as he turns around and starts walking towards Osaki and Kondo but suddenly a giant wall of ice shoots up in front of him and Dai turns around as he *sighs* and says

  “Please...Just move Kenji, I don't want anyone else to get hurt because of me!'' Kenji clenches his fist as he says

  “I won't abandon you Dai, no matter what! So make me move!” Dai *sheds a tear* as he says

  "Kenji-" Dai is *shocked* as he notices Kondo and Osaki standing in the tree right above Kenji and Dai is *panicked* as he says

  "No! Please, I'll do it!" Kenji is *confused* as he says

  "What are you-" Suddenly Dai rushes Kenji as he punches him in the stomach with such speed Kenji can't react and Kenji drops to the floor and Dai lifts his hand as suddenly water shoots out of the ground and clasp around his wrist as water chains form and pull him backwards and he tries to pull his arms forward to break the water chains but he can't as he watches Kenji stand up and look into his eyes as he says

  "I don't give a damn what promises they make to you, or why you're fighting so hard to leave! YOUR NOT LEAVING US, NOT LIKE THIS!" Kenji surges with ice with such force the trees, ground around them and half of Mount.Juko is frozen as Dai closes his eyes and looks at into the air and he starts *crying* but his tear instantly evaporate on his cheeks as his body violently surges with fire and Dai *clenches his fist in anger* as he screams

  "I HATE ALL OF YOU, I WAS USING YOU TO GET STRONGER TO HELP MY REAL FAMILY! ALL OF YOU ARE NOTHING TO ME!" Kenji says

  "You can lie to me all you want, but you can never lie to yourself! You uttering those words just broke your heart, but I'll break the rest of you. And then we'll all pick you up!" Kenji rushes Dai as punches him in the stomach and Dai *holds his stomach in pain* as Kenji relentlessly strikes Dai all over his chest and with every punch Dai's body starts to freeze and Dai tries to punch Kenji but he dodges all of his punches as he continues punching him all over his chest until Dai's entire body is freezing and Kenji says

  "I won't let you leave like this, even if it costs me my life!" The ice rises up around Dai's face as he notices Osaki and Kondo behind Kenji as his eyes surge with fire and Dai *screams in anger* as his fire surges all over him and explodes off of him as it shatters the ice and launches Kenji back as he lands hard on the ground and he looks up as he sees Dai break the chains and he stands up as Dai blast Kenji with a wave of fire and Kenji *screams in pain* as his ice surges off of him clashing with Dai's fire and there clash starts destroying the environment around them as Kondo and Osaki are standing in the trees and Osaki is *shocked* as he thinks

  "Well, Mother was correct! Dai has truly come far with his strength...I'm impressed!" Kondo thinks

  "Pathetic, still as weak as you've always been! You're truly a disappointment, hurry up and kill him!" They both stop clashing and look into each others eyes as the forest behind Kenji is entire frozen and the forest behind Dai is completely scorched and they both rush each other as both of them activates there gauntlets and quickly starts clashing fist until Dai dodges Kenji's punch as he uppercuts him and Kenji flies back as he slams into a tree and Dai rushes Kenji and punches him in the stomach launching him through multiple trees as Kenji slams extremely hard into the ground and Dai stares at Kenji on the ground as he thinks

  "Just stay down...Please!" Dai turns around as he sees Kondo and Osaki sitting on Mount.Juko and he starts walking towards them but suddenly a hand grabs the back of his head and he is slammed into the ground as his body starts to freeze and Kenji screams

  "YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" Osaki is *shocked* and thinks

  "The hell is wrong with this kid, he just won't quit. What the hell are they using Dai for that's this important!?" Kenji stomps on Dai's back pushing him into the ground as the ice shatters around him and Kenji jumps into the air as fire surges all over Dai and he stands up as he suddenly disappears and Kenji looks around but he can't see him at all as he feels a presence behind him and he turns around as he throws a punch but Dai punches him in the chest sending Kenji slamming into the ground as Dai flies down and punches him in the chest pushing him deeper into the ground and Dai starts hitting him with a barrage of punches in his chest as he pushes Kenji deeper and deeper into the ground until a dome of ice quickly covers him as Dai's fist bounce off of it and Kenji looks up as he *slows his heavy breathing* and sees Dai slams his hands against the dome as his fire gauntlets surge with fire and starts cracking the dome all over and Kenji is *shocked* as he thinks

  "I can tell he's still pulling his punches, so I know you truly don't want to leave! So I have to end this and get him away from them!" Kenji stands up as he moves through his ice and grabs Dai's fire gauntlets as he *screams in pain* and his hands surge with ice as there elements clash across Dai's fire gauntlets until suddenly two water chains shot up and clasp around Dai's arms as there pulled back and Kenji punches Dai twice in the stomach and uppercuts him with such force Dai flies into the air as the water chains shatter and Kenji jumps into the air as he tries to kick Dai in the neck but Dai grabs his leg as he twist it around and points Kenji towards the ground as Dai's back surges with fire launching them forward slamming Kenji's face into the ground and Dai stands up as Kenji slowly rolls onto his back and Dai slams his foot on Kenji chest as he closes his eyes and screams

  "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, I HATE YOU!" Dai moves his foot as he punches Kenji twice in the stomach but Kenji kicks Dai in the chest as he rolls backwards and stands up as Kenji screams

  “I DON'T CARE! I LOVE YOU!” Kenji's ice gauntlet surge with ice as spikes shoot all through the gauntlets and Dai's gauntlets surges extremely hot as the ground around him starts melting and they rush each other as they clash fist but Kenji's right Ice gauntlet is shattered as Dai grabs his wrist and punches him in the stomach making him fall to the floor but suddenly half of Dai's body is frozen and Kenji stands up as he punches Dai in the stomach so hard it sends him flying back and slams hard into the ground as the ice around him shatters and he slowly stands up as blood falls from his mouth and Dai wipes the blood off of his mouth as he looks at it *shocked* and Kenji rushes him as he says

  “I told you, I won’t let you leave Dai! No matter what!” Kenji tries to punch Dai but Dai stomps on the ground as the ground underneath them breaks causing Kenji's punch to fly past Dai's face and Dai's left gauntlet extinguishes as his right gauntlet violently surges and he punches Kenji in the chest so hard he lifts him into the air as he slams into the ground and Dai kicks him in the chest as Kenji is dragged back through the ground and Kenji *holds his chest in pain* as he slowly stands up but he drops to one knee as he *coughs up blood* and Dai's fire disappears as he turns around and grabs two trees as he pulls them out of the ground and throws them at Kenji as Kenji slowly puts his hand up and two ice dragons shot out of the ground as they both bite the tree in half and rush towards Dai as Dai lifts up his hands and tries to cover his hands with fire as he burns his hands and closes his hands as his fire extinguishers and he jumps into the air as he dodges one of the dragons trying to bite him in the chest and lands on the back of the first dragon as the second dragon flies into the back of the first dragon and its head shoots out of the first dragons back as it starts quickly spinning all around the first dragons body and it tries to bite Dai but he punches it in the face as it shatters and Dai jumps into the air as the second dragon flies out of the back of the first dragon and towards Dai and tries to bite him but Dai punches it in the top of its head as he slides down the back of the dragon and jumps off it as suddenly spikes emerge all through its body and Dai lands on the back of the neck of the first dragon as it slams into the ground and Dai jumps into the air as the second dragon slams down over the first dragon and the first dragon slowly stands up as it fuses with the second dragon forming a giant spiked ice dragon and it turns around as it flies towards Dai and Dai is *shocked* as he thinks

  "Damn it, I don't have a choice!" Dai's hands surge with fire as his fire gauntlets form around his hand and he *screams in pain* as he notices every inch of the dragon is covered in thick spikes and he thinks

  "I can't hit it anywhere without sacrificing my hand...But I don't have a choice!" The dragon flies up as it tries to bite Dai but Dai uses his fire to push himself higher into the air as he punches the top of the dragon in the head and *screams in pain* as an ice spike stabs through his hand and the dragon falls out of the sky as it slams into the ground and Dai falls out of the sky as his eyes start slowly closing and Dai slowly clenches his fist as he punches the dragon in the side of it head shattering it and he *screams in pain* as he drops to the ground and *holds his bloody hand in pain* as he slowly looks up and sees Kenji slowly standing up as he starts walking towards Dai until he falls backwards onto the ground and Dai *weakly* says

  "What do I have to do...For you to let me leave!?" Kenji *weakly* says

  "Kill me...I won't lose a brother, unless I die! You really want to leave...Kill me!" Dai *weakly chuckles* and says

  "I thought I was the stupid one...What about Hana or mom!? How sad would they be if you died?" Kenji *weakly* says

  "I hope I never put them through that kind of pain...But I'll die knowing I've done all I can to stop you, and if that's how I die then I'm ok with it!" Dai and Kenji both slowly stand up as they lock eyes and Dai slowly walks towards him as he raises his fist and Kenji puts his hands up as his hand starts to cover with ice but suddenly ice stabs all through Kenji's arms as he *screams in pain* and his arm fall down as Dai punches him in the face launching him back and sending him slamming into the ground as Dai starts slowly walking towards him but Dai drops too one knee as he *tries to catch his breath* and Kenji struggles as he slowly stands up and Dai slowly looks into Kenji's eyes as he *weakly* says

  “Stop this Kenji...I don’t want to hurt you anymore!” Kenji *weakly* says

  “No...I won’t quit, I won’t lose you!” Dai *weakly* says

  “Then I’ll make sure...You can’t follow me!” Kenji covers his hand in ice as he *screams in pain* and the ice around his hand crumbles but Kenji *clenches his fist in anger* and his ice slowly surges around his hand forming a gauntlet as he *screams in pain* and Dai slowly stands up as he *clenches his fist in anger* and his fire surges across his hand as his fire gauntlet forms and Dai screams

  “KENJI...STOP, THIS IS GETTING TO DANGEROUS AND I'M NOT WORTH YOUR LIFE!” Kenji screams

  "I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH TO LET YOU LEAVE LIKE THIS, IF I LET YOU LEAVE MY HEART WOULD BREAK ANYWAY! SO THIS FIGHT WILL COST MY LIFE EITHER WAY!" They both rush each other as they *scream in anger* and try to punch each other but Kingsman appears between both of them as he catches both of there hands and burning the area behind Dai as the area behind Kenji freezes and Kingsman pushes them both back as they both drop to one knee and Kingsman says

  “ENOUGH! What’s going on with you two!?” Kondo and Osaki are both *shocked* as they notice Kingsman and Osaki thinks

  "Damn it, this is bad! We need to go now!" Konzo thinks

  "Why is Kingsman worried about Dai!? Why would a man like him care about you!?" Riku and Itsuki walk up next to Kenji as they help him up and Kenji looks at Kingsman as he *weakly* says

  “Father...Dai is trying to leave us for people who don’t even care about him! I won't let him, we're family and I won’t let him abandon us!” Kingsman looks at Dai as he says

  “Is this true Dai?” Kingsman walks in front of Riku, Itsuki and Kenji as Dai slowly stands up and looks over at Osaki and Kondo as Kingsman says

  “I’m assuming that’s them” Osaki looks over to Kondo and says

  “That’s Kingsman! But what the hell does he care about Dai!?” Kondo says

  “I don’t know, but get ready for a fight” Osaki is *shocked* as he says

  “Are you crazy? We can’t beat Kingsman, he’s killed armies by himself!” Kondo *clenches his fist in anger* as he says

  “Then what the hell do you suggest we do, sit here and beg for our lives!? We’re warriors, start acting like it!” Osaki says

  “I am, but I’m not being an idiot like you! We need to find a different way out of this, I guarantee if we take this fight we're going to die!” Kondo *sighs* as he says

  “...Fine, but if he tries anything I won’t hesitate!” Dai *sighs* as he looks at Kingsman and *weakly* says

  “Sensei, I-I…I always wanted my family to accept me, and now they do! But I don’t want to lose you guys...Because we’re family too!” Kingsman says

  “You must choose what family you want, it would be impossible for them to treat you disrespectfully in our presence. It would be constant fighting or they’d die quickly, but you must make a choice!” Dai looks back at Osaki and Kondo as he thinks

  “My real family, who raised me and watched over me for most of my life!” Dai looks at Kingsman,Riku,Kenji,and Itsuki as he thinks

  “But a family that has always shown me love,affection and care! And has protected me and helped me get stronger!” Dai slowly looks back at Osaki and Kondo as he closes his eyes and a tear falls from his eye as he whispers

  “But I miss you...Mom!” Kingsman says

  “So, you’ve made your decision then!” Suddenly Kingsman spins around as he swipes Riku's legs and grabs Itsuki and Kenji by their necks as he slam them into the ground and puts his knee on Riku's chest as he says

  “So go then Dai, because if I don’t do this they’ll never stop chasing you!” Kenji looks at Dai as he screams

  “YOU CAN RUN, BUT I’LL FIND YOU AND DRAG YOU BACK! I WON’T LET YOU LEAVE US!” Itsuki looks at Dai as he screams

  “IF YOU THINK WE’LL STOP COMING FOR YOU YOUR A BIGGER IDIOT THAN I THOUGHT!” Riku looks at Dai as he screams

  “YOUR NOT GOING ANYWHERE, WE HAVE SO MANY ADVENTURES LEFT AND WE HAVE TO GET STRONGER TOGETHER! WE SAID THAT, AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT ANYMORE I’LL MAKE YOU DO IT! YOU DIDN’T LET ME LEAVE SO I WON’T LET YOU, WE WON'T GIVE UP ON YOU!” Dai starts *crying* and Kingsman *sighs* as he says

  “Looks like I’ll have to make sure they can’t follow you” Kingsman eyes fill with lightning as all of them are wrapped in purple lightning and all *scream in pain* and all of them are still looking into Dai's eyes as Kenji *through his pain* says

  “We’re not done...We’re still coming for you!” Itsuki *through his pain* says

  “You're still not leaving, you idiot!” Riku *through his pain* says

  “Don’t move!” Kingsman says

  “Hmm, you all are still not done yet! I guess I’ll have to hit you all harder!" Kingsman eyes fill with lightning as he *smiles* and suddenly Dai kicks him in his chest sending him flying back as he slams through multiple trees and slams into the ground as multiple trees slam down on top of him and he turns around as he reaches for Kenji but Itsuki quickly stands up as he slides behind Dai and puts him in a headlock while restraining both of his arms above his head as Riku grabs both of his legs and Kenji clenches his fist as he pulls his hand back and screams

  “WE TOLD YOU, YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!” Dai is *panicked* as he screams

  “I’M NOT GOING ANYWHERE!” Itsuki says

  “I don’t believe you, Kenji hit him!” Dai says

  “I just said I’m not leaving, let me go already!” Kenji says

  "Let him go!" Itsuki and Riku let go of Dai as Kenji looks at Osaki and Kondo as he says

  “What about them!?” Dai looks over at Osaki and Kondo as they are still sitting on Mount.Juko and he turns around as he walks over to them and says

  “Kondo,Osaki...I’m not going with you!” Kondo says

  “Before father died, he told us to watch over you and I made him a promise as he died in my hands that I would! And I stopped everything in my life to make sure you were ok, but then one day you just ran off and disappeared! Do you know how long we’ve been looking for you? Do you know how worried our mother has been since her youngest son has disappeared!?” Dai says

  “I no longer need you to take care of me, I have people who are here for me. Plus I’m strong enough to handle myself, and please tell mother I miss her...But I cannot come home!” Osaki says

  “Mother has decided that even though she is disappointed in your failure, she wish to bring you back to the village and make you guardian of the village. If you weren't our brother you would have never had this opportunity to redeem yourself like this, it's a high honor for someone like you! And I'm impressed enough to think about training you myself, just a bit!" Itsuki is *frustrated* as he says

  “So the only reason you came looking for him is so you can use him to protect the rest of you!” Kondo looks at Itsuki as he is *angry* and says

  “No one was speaking to you, this is a matter between family!” Riku gets *angry* as he says

  “Family!? You’ve never helped or cared for him at all, but you have the nerve to call yourself family! All of you are pathetic!” Osaki says

  “Either you come with us now Dai or else we–'' Suddenly Osaki and Kondo are launched extremely high into the air as lightning hits them both and Itsuki appears in the lightning as he punches Kondo in the face making him slam into Osaki pushing them back through the air and Itsuki's hand surges with lightning as his bow forms and he pulls back as he charges an extremely large lightning arrow and Itsuki is *angry* as he says

  "Stay away, from my brother!" Itsuki shots the arrow at them but it's suddenly stops in the air as Itsuki notices the arrow starts to cover with fire and he realizes Dai is in front of his arrow as he's stopping it with his fire gauntlet and the arrow explodes with such force Osaki and Kondo are launched across the sky as Dai falls out of the sky and Riku jumps into the air as he catches him and Itsuki lands onto the ground and Riku sits Dai onto the ground and Itsuki is *confused* as he looks at Dai and says

  “What are you doing!?” Dai slowly gets back to his feet as he says

  “We may not be a normal family...But they are still my family!” Kingsman walks out of the tree and Itsuki says

  “Are you sure you want to keep them alive?” Dai says

  “I–” Suddenly Kingsman kicks Dai in the chest as he's sent flying through multiple trees until he slams into the ground and Kingsman dust off his chest as he says

  “Don’t put your feet on me!” Itsuki turns to Kingsman as he says

  “Sensei, I don’t think we should just let them walk away!” Kingsman looks at Itsuki as he says

  “That is Dai’s decisions alone, only he can tell us how to proceed with them!” Dai flies out of the trees as he tries to punch Kingsman and Kingsman catches Dai's hand as he *smiles* and Dai *smiles* as he says

  “You caught me off guard, no fair!” Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

  "I was right next to you, but do you even have the energy for this fight?" Dai *chuckles* as he says

  "As long as I can stand, I can fight! And If I can stand, then I would be a pathetic warrior if I walked away from a fight!" Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  "I think a better warrior would worry about the quality of battles he wins more than just the amount, you could kill one hundred thousand worthless warriors and it still won't mean anything! But if you kill one incredible warrior then you will be remembered for generations!" Dai *laughs* as he says

  "So you're telling me to kill you huh? I can do that!" They both jumps back as rush each other and Dai tries to hit Kingsman but Kingsman dodges all of his punches until he sweeps Dai's feet and catches his leg in the air as he throws him into a tree and Dai's back slams against a tree as he drops onto the ground and he slowly stands up as his fire starts to burn all over his body and he *screams in pain* until he takes a breath and closes his eyes as his fire shoots off of him and starts flying everywhere and Itsuki puts his arms up to block it but he is *shocked* as he is unfazed and he puts his hand out as he feels Dai’s fire and says

  “Wow...It’s not burning me, it's so...Gentle!” Dai’s fire starts burning brighter as Kingsman *smiles* and says

  “I never expected for you to be able to use your flames like this…And create a true bond!” Kingsman watches Dai's flames surge across him as Kingsman notices Dai's fire looks like it creates flaming wings on his back until suddenly all of Dai's fire quickly combine into a small ball and it flies over and touches Kingsman chest as Kingsman is launched back and slams through multiple trees as he falls onto the ground and slowly stands up as he grabs his chest and thinks

  “Damn kid...You’ve really come far!” Kingsman starts walks towards Dai but suddenly Kingsman is pushed back as he grabs his stomach and thinks

  "Did he just..." Suddenly Kingsman starts *laughing* as he looks down at Dai in front of him and says

  This is going to get really interesting, show me how strong you are kid!” Kingsman rushes Dai as he tries to punch him and Dai is able to dodge all of Kingsman's punches as he counters them with precise strikes to Kingsman's chest until Kingsman catches both of Dai’s fist and they start pushing away from each other as Dai open his eyes and Kingsman *smiles* as he sees Dai’s eyes are blue sapphires and Kingsman throws Dai's hands to the side as he punches him in the stomach and send him flying back as he slams into the ground and Dai closes his eyes as he slowly stands up and takes a step towards Kingsman but suddenly his fire explodes off of him pushing everyone back except Kingsman and his flames starts burning down the forest as Dai’s fire starts to burn him all over his body and Kingsman grabs his arm as he throws him into the air and Kingsman jumps above him as he punches the air with such force it extinguishes all of the fire and destroys multiple trees as it also blows the fire off of Dai and Dai's launched towards the ground but Kingsman appears underneath him as he catches him and Kingsman lays him on the ground as he says

  “Good job Dai!” Dai looks up at him as he *smiles* and Kingsman notices his eyes are back to brown and Itsuki is *amazed* as he thinks

  “Wow, Dai was able to keep up with Sensei. He even landed a couple punches!” Riku is *curious* as he says

  “Dai, what did you do!? How was your fire so different!?” Dai looks at his hands as he says

  “I...Don’t know!” Kingsman says

  “You allowed your fire to consume you, allowing it to fully control your body. Forcing you to move on instinct alone, that is why your flames we’re gentle. You only had one intended target and that’s all your flames we’re focused on destroying, but I knew you wouldn’t be able to hold it for long. You’re a warrior, you don’t want to sit back and spectate as a fight happens! You want to get involved, and feel everything in the fight” Riku says

  “Can I do that Sensei?” Kingsman says

  “Potentially, but I think all of you are going to have more unique abilities” Dai slowly stands up as he rushes Kingsman and tries to punch him but Itsuki clashes fist with him as his hands surges with lightning and Dai is paralyzed as Itsuki pushes through Dai’s fist and punches Dai in the face pushing him back and Dai looks at Itsuki as he rushes him and tries to punch him but suddenly a giant block of Ice wraps around his hand and it drops to the ground as Kingsman *laughs* and Dai's hand surges with fire as he *winches in pain* but K starts trying to make his fire melt the ice but he can’t and Kingsman kicks the ice around Dai's hand and Dai says

  “Wait why can't I melt Kenji’s ice now!?” Kingsman says

  “You never could, because it's not just normal ice. Just like your fire against the sun, you'd destroy the sun because your element is infused with your soul, meaning if I was to start a normal fire in the forest you would be able to take full control over it” Kenji says

  “Oh, is that why I was able to control the ocean?” Kingsman says

  “Exactly...Wait what!? You controlled the ocean!” Kenji says

  “Yeah, I was fighting Matsuno and while we we’re fighting we fell into the ocean and I was able to control it. I tried to do it again, but I couldn't even move half the amount of water I did” Kingsman says

  “Your elemental power was able to overtake the force of nature because of the strength of your soul, but in the middle of the fight we are different people then after it. So don't worry about not being able to move it right now, you'll be able to move it easily in due time!” Riku is *curious* as he says

  “So if a tornado naturally occurred in the village I would be able to stop it?” Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “Exactly” Itsuki says

  “That means–” Kingsman *sighs* as he says

  “Yes, during a raining thunderstorm you and the boy would become very big threats. Enough talk, I'm hungry!”

  At the same time a portal opens as Hironaka and Goto walk through it as Matsuno stumbles through it and falls to one knee as Hironaka *laughs* and says

  “I told you, you should have just let me make the portals. It obviously takes too much out of you!” Matsuno is *out of breath* as he says

  “My body just needs to get used to it… I’ll be fine!” Hironaka *chuckles* as he says

  “Ok, but until then I’ll make the portals for us. Why are you trying to learn how to make portals anyways?” Matsuno says

  "Mind your business" Hironaka says

  "Fine!" Hironaka puts his hand out and Matsuno looks up as he grabs Hironaka's hand and Hironaka pulls him up as they all start walking and Goto notices strange symbols on Hironaka’s arm and he says

  “Is that a tattoo?” Hironaka says

  “No, but It helps me never forget why I’m here. And what I’m fighting to get back too!” Goto is *curious* as he says

  “And what is that?” Hironaka says

  “Home!” Goto is *confused* as he says

  “Didn't we just leave your home!?" Hironaka says

  “No…I’m not even from this universe, I'm from a very unstable planet on the brink of collapse. At the time we needed the most help, lord Shiro showed up almost out of thin air like an answer to our prayers. He promised me if I followed him he’d teach me how to fix the planet and be strong enough to defend it, but after years of working for him when I brought it up again...lord DaiSuke said it would be a great waste of talent to send me back to a dead planet! So I’ve been here ever since, waiting,fighting...Begging for all of this to be over! Just so I can return to the people I love, all I want is to see them!” Goto says

  “Your cause is noble, but what are the chances that planet is still standing?" Hironaka *sighs* and says

  "...Hope...I have nothing left but hope!" Goto says

  "If you can make portals, why not go and check on them?" Hironaka says

  "I can't, creating portals actually consumes a good amount of my energy. Going to a completely different universe, and the distance my planet is from all the others would probably cause me to collapse for a few hours. Being gone for that long would definitely draw attention to me" Goto says

  "Shiro isn't in charge anymore, ask Ke-" Matsuno says

  "He'd never allow it, we're still extremely needed right now. A product to rare to gamble!" Hironaka says

  "Matsuno's right, I'll just have to bid my time again" Goto says

  "What do you want to do when we make it out of this?” Hironaka says

  “When we make it out of this, I just want to disappear. I don’t want to be a warrior anymore, I’m tired of the senseless bloodshed” Matsuno says

  “Consider it done” Hironaka is *confused* as he says

  “Huh?” Matsuno says

  “When all of this is over, I’ll make sure you disappear. No matter how much you piss me off...I owe you that much!” Hironaka says

  “But lord Kei—“ Matsuno says

  “I’ll handle him, you just make sure your ready to leave when it’s time” Hironaka is *shocked* as he says

  “Thank you Matsuno...But how are you going to do that?” Matsuno says

  “I’ll handle everything, don't worry about it” Hironaka says

  “Wow, you truly are a better man than you show on the surface. But what’s your goal?” Matsuno is *confused* as he says

  “What do you mean?” Hironaka says

  “When all of this is over, where are you going?” Matsuno says

  “I’m a warrior, I fight until I can’t fight anymore. That is my goal” Hironaka says

  “So you want to be the strongest warrior?” Matsuno says

  “No, I am the strongest I will ever be!” Hironaka *laughs* as he says

  “What motivates you then? What started you on your journey to be the strongest warrior?” Matsuno *sighs* and says

  “...For years I watched my father be mistreated by guards, and the day my brother jumped in to help my father...He was almost beaten to death by them! That’s the day I told myself no one would ever hurt the ones I care about, after weeks of training I fought those two guards and beat them both to death with my bare hands! I was kicked out of the village, and haven’t seen my family since. When I face them again...I want to be able to protect them from everything, no matter how big the danger is!” Goto *laughs as he mockingly* says

  “Aww, who knew the hard ass Matsuno had a soft spot!” Matsuno is *angry* as he turns around but Hironaka steps in front of him as he puts a hand up in front of him and says

  “There’s nothing wrong with fighting for someone!” Matsuno looks at Hironaka as he *calms his breathing* and turns around as he starts walking and Hironaka says

  “What about you Goto?” Goto *smiles* as he says

  “Power! I want nothing more than power,respect, and fear!” Hironaka says

  “So you fight for no one?” Goto says

  “I do fight for someone…Myself!” Hironaka *laughs* as he says

  “Yeah, fair enough. Someone like you could never have people who love you!” Goto says

  “My entire life I've seen people disrespect anyone who was below them…And I’ve always thought they were right to do so, why would I treat someone lower than me with respect? And there's no one above me, so why respect anyone!” Hironaka says

  “So you’re just a psychopathic narcissist with a god complex. Typical” Goto says

  “What the hell do you mean typical?” Hironaka says

  “It makes sense for the person you are'' Goto says

  “And what type of person am I?” Hironaka *laughs* as he says

  “Power hungry, just look at your arm! You stole some of Kingsman’s power just to get stronger” Goto is *frustrated* as he says

  “I’m strong without it!” Matsuno *laughs* as he says

  “You were nothing before Kingsman darkness, and you'll be nothing again!” Goto gets *angry* as he looks at Matsuno and says

  “Who the hell do you think you’re talking to!?” Matsuno says

  “At best you're the fourth strongest warrior in your region, the only reason you we’re even able to get Kono back here is because of Kingsman’s darkness!” Goto is *shocked* as he says

  “Fourth!?” Matsuno says

  “Minato, Kono and Masaru!'' Goto *clenches his left fist in anger* as it starts to surge with darkness and says

  “There’s no one stronger than me!” Matsuno stop as his entire body is engulfed in his corrupted power and says

  “You have one arm, I have an entire body! My power came from my hard work, yours came from blind luck!” Goto rushes Matsuno as he starts violently swinging towards him but Matsuno’s able to dodge all of Goto’s strikes until he catches both of Goto’s hands and Matsuno knees him in the chin as he headbutts him and legs go of Goto's hand as he punches him twice in the face with such force he's lifted off of the ground and Matsuno's right hand surges with his corrupt power as he punches Goto in the face and send him flying back as he slams into the ground and Goto slowly stands up as he takes a step forward but he falls to his knees as his nose starts bleeding and dripping onto the ground as Hironaka is *shocked* and sees Goto's blood turn into darkness as a small pool of darkness bleeds out of his nose and Goto slowly looks into the small pool of darkness as he suddenly starts throwing up darkness into the small pool of darkness until the small pool of darkness slowly flows onto Goto's left arm as it sinks into his arm and Goto *holds his chest in pain* as he looks down his shirt at his stomach and sees the darkness has fully spread across his torso and Hironaka slowly walks towards Goto as he says

  “Are you ok?” Hironaka tries to help Goto up but Goto pushes him away as he stands up and says

  “Get away from me!” Goto starts walking forward as suddenly the shadowy figures in the corners of his eyes multiply but he doesn’t look at them as he thinks

  "Why won't they go away!?" Suddenly all of them start talking at the same time as they say

  “The sword, get the sword!” Goto is *frustrated* as he thinks

  “Shut up! Why don't they ever shut up!” Suddenly one shadowy figure runs across the path in front of Goto as he stops and it jumps back into the trees as all of them starts screaming

  “THE SWORD!” Suddenly more of them start running past him as he is *stunned* and doesn't move as Hironaka and Matsuno are *confused* as they walk in front of him and Hironaka says

  "Goto, are you alright? You're starting to make me nervous!" Goto looks at Hironaka as Hironaka notices Goto is *afraid* and Goto says

  "I'm...Yeah...Let's just hurry up!" Hironaka says

  "All right!" Hironaka and Matsuno continue walking and Goto watches as they both walk through the shadowy figure still running across the trail back into the treeline and Goto slowly start walking forward but suddenly the crowd of shadowy figures stop running and all stare at him and as he looks into one of their faces he's *terrified* by there dark lifeless eyes suddenly changing to a deep blue shade and Hironaka and Matsuno turn around as they notice Goto's not moving and Matsuno is *irritated* as he says

  "What the hell is wrong with you!? We don't have time for this, let's go!" Goto slowly starts walking through the crowd of shadowy figures as they stare at him until one of them grabs his shoulder stopping him in place as he starts *shaking with fear* and the shadowy figure leans close to him as it whispers

  “Little Goto...I need your help!” Goto is *shocked* as he says

  “Shut the hell up! YOU'RE NOT MY BROTHER!” Matsuno and Hironaka are both *shocked as they look at each other confused* and Goto runs past them as Matsuno says

  "What the hell is wrong with him!?" Hironaka *sighs* as he says

  "It's something with that darkness, but I've never seen Kingsman acting like that before! We need to catch him before he does something stupid!" Hironaka and Matsuno run after Goto
