Chapter 013

  A Wave Of Chaos

  Riku is following behind the army as they walk through a partially burned forest and Riku stops in the shadows as the army continues walking towards a giant gate and Riku watches as they open the gate and walks in as Riku notices Kenji tied to a post and Riku rushes towards Kenji as the giant gate slams shut but Riku continues running as he points his hand at the ground and launches himself above the giant gate using his wind as he lands on top of the gate and looks over the entire village as he sees four people sitting on thrones on top of a set of stairs and he notices Okada's body is tied up on a post next to Kenji as the man sitting at the first throne stands up and The First One looks out a the crowd as he says

  “Do you see why we do this now? They send men into our region to kill us and defile our holy ground! We cannot, nor will we stand for it! We must bring them all into the light and open their eyes! They are all misguided,tainted,sinful creatures, and we must save this planet by cleansing it of all of the impure ones! Now my loyal servants of god I must ask you this, will you help us cleanse the world?” The entire crowd *surges with excitement* as they scream

  “YES!” The First One looks over the crowd as he says

  “Will you follow Me, Shiro:The Voice?” The crowd screams

  “YES!” The Third One sitting at the throne stands up as he walks up next to Shiro and Shiro says

  “Will you follow my brother, Ichiro:The Mind?” The crowd screams

  “YES!” Shiro points to the second throne as he says

  “Will you follow my brother, DaiSuke: The Will?” The crowd screams

  “YES!” Shiro points to the fourth throne as he says

  “Will you follow my brother, Takumi: The–” Suddenly Takumi stands up as he steps next to Shiro and raises his hands into the air as he screams

  “THE STRENGTH!” The crowd gets extremely loud as they scream

  “YES!” Ichiro and DaiSuke stand up as they walk next to them and Shiro says

  “I will ask all of you one more time…Will you follow the Vessels of God!?” The crowd erupts even louder than before and screams

  “YES!” Takumi says

  “Then kneel and be silent” Everyone kneels in silence as Takumi says

  “Our god–” Suddenly Okada *coughing up water* as he *weakly* says

  “Your god...Is nothing!” Everyone is *shocked* as Okada slowly lifts his head up and looks into Takumi's eyes as he *weakly* says

  “Just like all of you! All of you standing there killed your father, just waste time with this horrible speech about cleansing the world. Give me a break, how are you going to cleanse the world if you couldn’t even beat your father!? You all had to poison his sake! But I guarantee your plan won't even make it out of this region...Because Kingsman is going to kill all of you!” Matsuno stands from his kneeling position as he rushes over and grabs Okada's face as he starts squeezing his head and Okada *screams in pain* as Matsuno is *angry* and says

  "You dare speak his name in the presence of my lords, I'll squash you! You are nothing, but a worthless, poor excuse for a man!" Ichiro says

  “No Matsuno, bring him to us! As a matter of fact take the other one down and bring him as well” Matsuno lets go of Okada's face as he says

  "As you please my Lord!" Matsuno grabs Okada by the throat and pulls him down off of the post cause rope burns all over his body and Okada *screams in pain* and Matsuno rips the ropes off of Kenji's body as he fall towards the ground but Matsuno catches him as he notices Kenji still has the veins on his neck and lower body as he walks them to the top of the stairs and drops them both at the feet of the four brothers and Okada *weakly* says

  “Pathetic excuses for leaders!” Ichiro looks down into Okada's eyes until he slowly looks up and stares off into the distance as Matsuno grabs Okada by his neck and lifts him into Ichiro's sight as Ichiro looks towards the crowd as he says

  “We will not kill them for nothing, we will not let their pathetic lives be wasted. We will make a SACRIFICE TO OUR GOD!” The crowd *erupts into excited cheers* as Ichiro turns to Okada but Hironaka quickly rushes upstairs and he drops to his knees as he grabs Kenji and says

  “Wait my lords, you can’t sacrifice this one!” Ichiro *sighs* as he says

  “And why is that, Hironaka?” Hironaka says

  “He is extremely valuable to us, he is the son of Kingsman!” Everyone is *shocked* as Takumi looks at Matsuno and says

  “Is this true Matsuno!?” Matsuno says

  “Yes my lord” Shiro looks down at Kenji as he says

  “What are all those veins all over him?” Matsuno says

  “I don’t know my lord, as we fought they appeared across him” DaiSuke *chuckles* as he says

  “Well, looks like you saved both of your lives. Even though we don’t have all the information we need, and someone your missing your squad leader! But bringing him back alive has now given us a bigger opportunity" Takumi says

  “We can kill them both and send their bodies back to lure Kingsman here, then I'll kill him!” Shiro steps up as he says

  “No! Kingsman's son lives, we can lure Kingsman here saying we want materials from the Tohoku region in exchange for his son! If he refuses to deliver it then we can use the threat of invasion and revealing the truth to the other lords, but if we kill his son we will have no chance at survival! Kingsman has stopped entire armies with his eyes closed, If Kingsman ever gets serious in a battle then anyone opposing him has already lost!" Takumi is *annoyed* as he looks at Okada and says

  “But this one can die?” Ichiro looks at Hironaka and Hironaka says

  “He is just a random fisherman from another village” Ichiro looks at Takumi as he says

  “Go ahead!” Takumi snatches Okada from Matsuno's hand as he steps past him and looks at the crowd as he says

  “Now prove your loyalty to us, and deliver him to our god!” Takumi throws Okada down into the middle of the crowd as he says

  “Make it slow, I want our god to hear the music we create for them” Everyone in the crowd draws there weapons as they all start slowly slashing Okada all across his body and Okada *screaming in pain* as Riku watches all of them and he is *shocked* as he notices all of them *maliciously smiling* and continuously slowly slashing Okada all over his body as Riku thinks

  “I want to help him, but there are too many of them! Plus the one’s from the boat and four others, but he’s helped us...I can’t leave him here to die!” Takumi *laughs* as Okada *screams of pain* rings out through the village and Takumi says

  “The sweet song of–” Suddenly the pillars at the top of the stairs are shattered as the ceiling falls onto all of them and all of the warriors suddenly stop as they look up towards the stairs but all of them are thrown back by a giant tornado as there throw all across the village because of it's incredible strength and Riku drops down next to Okada as he looks up at the stairs and thinks

  "Damn it, Kenji's stuck under there with those bastards! I'll have to come back for him!" Riku grabs Okada's arm and tries to pull him up but Okada *screams in pain* as he *weakly* says

  "You need to get out of here...I'm dead weight!" Riku says

  “I know it hurts, but you have to get up!” Okada *weakly* says

  “I’m sorry Riku, but I can’t go anywhere…Now get out of here kid before you die” Suddenly Riku gets a flashback as he's standing in a burning building and he looks around *shocked* until he notices a man laying on the ground in a pool of blood and Riku crouches down next to him as The Man says

  “I’m sorry Riku, but I can’t go anywhere…Now get out of here kid, before you die” Riku starts to *tear up* as he tightly grips Okada's arm and says

  “You have to get up, I won’t leave you again!” Riku starts dragging Okada by his arm as he's *whipping his tears away* and Okada is still *screaming in pain* until he snatches his arm back as he looks up at Riku and *weakly* says

  “Go! Get out of here or you’ll die kid!” Suddenly a fist punches through the roof at the top of the stairs and Riku is *shocked* as he looks up the stairs and sees the fist sticking out of the roof and he looks down at Okada as he says

  “If I leave you’ll die…I-I can’t!” Okada *weakly* says

  “I’ve caused so much pain and suffering in my life, this is the fate I deserve. I deserve to die in the streets like a dirty dog, I am the reason why Kenji is captured! You all were set up by Miura to be killed” Riku is *stunned* as suddenly another fist punches through the roof and the two hands start pulling the roof apart as Okada *weakly* says

  “Now...Go!” Riku says

  “But-” Okada *coughs up blood* as he *weakly* says

  “If you die here...Who will save Kenji or the others! All the people you care about are depending on you!” Takumi pulls the roof apart throwing the half's into two houses as he steps up to the edge of the stairs and Takumi is *shocked* as he sees all of his warriors scattered across the village and he slowly looks down as he sees Okada pointing a sword at him from the ground and Okada *smiles* as he *weakly* says

  “That’s all the soldiers you’ve got? This army won't beat a single region if they can't even handle an old fisherman!” Takumi is *angry* as he clenches his fist in anger and Ichiro looks off in the distance as he says

  “What was that? I heard something” Okada is *shocked* and Takumi looks off into the distance but Okada starts *laughing extremely loud* and Takumi looks back at him *pissed* as he says

  "I'm going to kill you!" Takumi slowly walks down towards Okada

  At the same time Riku walks towards the edge of the top of the gate as suddenly Okada's *laughing* abruptly stops and Riku looks back as a *tear falls from his eye* and he turns around as he drops down off of the gate and Riku walks back through the burned forest until he returns to the village Gyomei was in and Riku sees there burned out hideout and Riku rushes over as he moves the curtain and quickly ducks underneath the pillar as he walks in but Riku is *shocked* as he doesn't see anyone and Riku takes a step but suddenly he feels a hand press against the back of his neck as a voice from behind him says

  "You've finally come back!" Riku turns around as he sees Gyomei standing behind him and Riku says

  “Gyomei, where is everybody else?” Gyomei says

  “I moved them into the shadows, because I heard more people outside and I thought I'd have to cause a distraction to lure them away. But where did you go!? Did you find Kenji and Okada?” Riku starts *crying* as he says

  “Okada is dead, and they're going to use Kenji to lure Sensei here and kill him as well!” Gyomei says

  “Don’t worry, we’ll make sure they can’t kill anyone else! Not Kenji or Kingsman, nobody else! But to do that we’ll need everybody up and ready to fight, so we need to rest!” Riku says

  “All right!” Riku sits back down on the wall as he goes back to sleep until Riku slowly opens his eyes and sees everyone standing around him as they are talking until Dai notices Riku looking at them and he says

  “Took you long enough, we’ve been waiting for you!” Everyone looks over at Riku as he slowly stands up and Kenshin says

  “Good, now we have our way to get to the village” Itsuki says

  “We should be worried about how big their army has gotten!” Riku says

  “There army isn’t that big, there are a lot of them but I think we could handle them if there all next to each other. We can use our attacks to hit them all at once and that should wipe out at least half of them before they even see us and then we can rush in!” Saigo *chuckles* as he says

  “Smart, that should take care of the soldiers but what about the four brothers?” Gyomei says

  “Our orders aren’t to beat all of them, we're here for recon” Itsuki says

  “Our Sensei sent us here to do whatever we can, but right now we cannot start a war here! We need to save Kenji and get out as quick as possible! After that we get him to safety, and then whatever happens next we decide then!" Itsuki stands up and walks over as he ducks underneath the fallen pillar and walks out the door as Riku walks over and crotches under the pillar as Dai walks over and stops next to the pillar as he looks back at Gyomei,Saigo, and Kenshin *confused* as he says

  “What are all of you waiting for? Let's go!” Dai crouches underneath the pillar as he walks out and Gyomei *sighs* as he says

  “I’m getting tired of these kids!'' Dai walks over to Itsuki and Riku as he says

  “Where do we go from here Riku?” Gyomei,Saigo and Kenshin walk up behind Riku as he starts walking and says.

  “This way!” Everyone follows behind Riku and while there walking, Itsuki says

  “So what exactly did you see in that village Riku?” Riku says

  “I was able to really see the control they have over the villagers, they held onto every word they said without second guessing them at all. We have to be careful because the two guys from the boat are also there, so we can’t go rushing in” Dai says

  “We’ll be fine” Gyomei says

  “Dai don’t go off doing anything stupid, we need to scoop out the area before we make any decisions” Saigo says

  “Are we getting clo–” Saigo stops his talking as he sees the giant gate and everyone is *shocked* and stops in there traces as they see the giant gate and Riku says

  “We’re here” Riku continues walking forward as Kenshin says

  “How the hell did you get in here!?” Riku says

  “Like this'' Riku uses his wind to boost him on top of the gate and he turns around and looks at them and says

  “See, it’s easy” Dai says

  “Simple enough” Dai walks up and uses his fire to boost him up and Itsuki travels through his lighting and appears next to them and as Dai,Riku,and Itsuki stares down at Gyomei,Saigo,and Kenshin, Itsuki says

  “Let’s go” Saigo starts to walk up to the gates but the gate suddenly starts to open forcing Saigo,Kenshin,and Gyomei to run and hide in half burned trees and bushes as Shiro and Takumi come out with Matsuno and Hironaka behind them and as there walking, Shiro says

  “How many we’re on that ship?” Hironaka says

  “Minus the two we already have, six my lord” Takumi says

  “Find them and kill them” Shiro says

  “No, we need more sacrifices for our God and to make sure our warriors are ready to kill and stay devoted” Hironaka says

  “Yes my lord” As they disappear in the distance Saigo and Kenshin walkout and Kenshin says

  “Looks like now we're getting hunted” Saigo is *confused* as he looks at the tree Gyomei's hiding behind and says

  “Why are you still hiding Gyomei?” But a group of soldiers come out of the gate and see Saigo and Kenshin and scream

  “HEY!” Saigo *sighs* as he says

  “So that’s why!” Kenshin and Saigo run off as there being chased and they disappear in the distance and Gyomei steps out and walks over to the gate and slips inside the half cracked open gate and Riku, Itsuki, and Dai jump down next to him and Itsuki says

  “So what’s the plan now?” Gyomei says

  “We finish our recon, get Kenji then go home nothing more” Itsuki says

  “Two of the closest to the leaders know our faces, we have to finish this here. We can’t run!” Dai *smiles* as he says

  “I'm fine with beating an entire army” Gyomei says

  “No, that’s not what were here for” Itsuki says

  “There’s an entire army hunting us, meaning there ready to kill all of us. If we leave without stopping them by the time we get back, even if we get there before them the village won’t have anytime to prepare. This has to stop here” Gyomei says

  “Damn it! Alright if were going to do this all of you have to listen to me and really do as I say or else we’ll die on this suicide mission” Itsuki says

  “Fine” Gyomei says

  “That means all of you, I want all of you to say you’ll do as I say” Riku says

  “All right” Gyomei looks at Dai and Dai says

  “I don’t follow anyone's orders…But I’ll take some advice” Gyomei *sighs* and says

  “Just stay close and don’t do anything” Riku says

  “What do we do now then?” Gyomei says

  “We stay out of sight and plan how were going to attack” Riku says

  “We can watch from that building” Riku is pointing at an abandoned house and Gyomei says

  “Good, we’ll be able to stay out of sight while we do it” Itsuki says

  “Let’s go then” They all run over to the abandoned house before they were seen but when Gyomei tries to open the door its stuck and he notices a open window on the second floor and he turns around and says

  “Riku, I need you to use your wind and–” But he’s interrupted by Dai kicking the door off its hinges and Dai walks in as Gyomei *sighs* and Itsuki and Riku also go in and Gyomei says

  “We’re supposed to not draw attention to ourselves” Gyomei walks in and grabs the door and props it up against the frame and then he goes upstairs and sees Dai and Itsuki standing by the window looking out and Riku sitting on the floor and Dai says

  “We can draw the crowd out and then blast them all away with one shot” Itsuki says

  “Or, we could wait till the leaders come out and sneak attack them. Cut the head off of a snake and the body dies” Gyomei says

  “Good plans, what do you think would be the best idea Riku?” Riku is sitting with his eyes closed as he says

  “We can’t do anything yet” Dai looks back and says

  “Why not?” Riku says

  “Without knowing where or when the other four will return it makes everything too risky to attempt anything right now” Gyomei says

  “Your right Riku, we can’t attack them…But we can still build a plan” Riku says

  “A plan based on luck and location are destined to fail” Gyomei *laughs* and says

  “Sometimes the best plans are built on luck” Riku says

  "I won't be apart of a plan based off of luck" Itsuki says

  "Honestly, Riku your right" Dai *laughs* and says

  "I don't like listening to Gyome anyways, so I could care less" Everyone sits down and relaxes but after they've been sitting there for hours Dai stands up and says

  “I'm hungry” Dai tries to walk out of the room but Gyomei stops him and says

  “Where are you going? There's no food downstairs” Dai says

  “I know, that's why I'm going to get some'' Gyomei says

  “You know you can’t go outside” Dai says

  “Why not?” Itsuki says

  “Did you forget that we’re being hunted, idiot!” Dai says

  “What are they gonna do to me?” Itsuki says

  “The same thing they have been doing to everyone else here” Gyomei says

  “Dai, you can’t go down there” Dai says

  “Listen, right now they don’t know what we look like so I can go eat without them knowing who I am” Gyomei says

  “Well…You can’t” Riku says

  “He’s right, the only ones who know what we look like have left. So we can walk the streets in peace but we should at least change our clothes” Itsuki says

  “I am pretty hungry, why not” Riku stands up and walks past Gyomei with Dai and Itsuki behind him and as they get downstairs Gyomei follows them down and says

  “Fine, we can get food but don’t look suspicious” Riku says

  “We’re in a village full of murders and religious sheep, everybody is suspicious here” Riku walks out of the door and Itsuki and Dai follow and as they step outside Itsuki says

  “Meet back here in about an hour” Riku and Dai says

  “Sure” Gyomei says

  “What!?” But a second after they all jump away in different directions and run off and Gyomei *sighs* and thinks

  “Damn it! Those two will at least keep a low profile, but Dai might blow up the entire village” Gyomei follows in the direction that Dai went

  At the same time Takumi,Shiro,Hironaka,and Matsuno fly over the ocean as there being carried by water until Hironaka puts his hand down as the water lowers them onto the docks of the Yahoku village and they all walk into the village but there surrounded on all sides by village guards and Matsuno looks around at all of them as he *laughs* and says

  “You all dare draw your weapons against our lords!” Suddenly the guards step to the side as Miura walks through the guards up to Shiro as he puts his hand up and all the guards stand up straight as they sheathe there weapons and Miura *smiles* as he says

  “Welcome to my village, come to my office. Let’s speak” Miura turns around and walks away as Matsuno clenches his fist and *anger* as he says

  "He dares speak to my lords in this way, I'll rip his head off!" Shiro says

  If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  "When he is no longer useful then I'll allow it, until then he remains unharmed" Takumi is *shocked* as he looks at Shiro and Shiro says

  "He is extremely valuable, as long as he can stop any serious threats from reaching us without warning he has use! Plus he said he was willing to sell us some more information, but he wouldn't disclose his offer without meeting face to face. All of you wait for my orders before doing anything, is that understood!?" Hironaka and Matsuno both bow as they say

  "Yes my lord!" Takumi clenches his fist as he steps up to Shiro and says

  "I'm not a servant, you won't speak to me like that!" Shiro looks at Takumi as he says

  "I never said you weren't a lord, but our goal requires planning! So because of certain aspects of that plan I cannot have you killing everyone we could possibly do good business with before it is time, would you really allow your ego to destroy our dreams!? After everything we worked for to get here, would you truly throw it all away because you couldn't push your pride to the side!?" Takumi is *shocked* as he says

  "I'm not going to ruin the plan!" Shiro says

  "We are in this together brother, and we stand at each others sides. But someone has to form the plans so we can be successful, I mean no disrespect with my words! I love you Takumi, and that's why I'm going to make our dreams a reality!" Takumi takes a step back as he says

  "Alright...I'll follow your order. But when it's time for war, you will follow mine!" Shiro *smiles* as he reaches out his hand and says

  "Of course brother, between all of us you are the most well versed in combat!" Takumi *smiles* as he shakes Shiro's hand and they all turn around as Miura's looking at them and says

  "Are you all done having your silent meeting?" Shiro says

  "Yes, let's go!" All of them follow Miura into his office as Miura sits behind his desk and *smiles* as he says

  “Please take a seat!” Matsuno says

  “Enough games!” Matsuno grabs Miura's desk and throws it to the side against a wall as he steps up to Miura but Miura doesn't move as he continues *smiling in Matsuno's face* and says

  “Why so angry?” Shiro steps in front of Matsuno as he says

  “Enough Matsuno! Miura, you will tell Kingsman in two days his son has been captured and we want most of the resources delivered by Kingsman or else the rest of the region leaders will become a way of there breaking of the peace treaty!” Miura looks at Shiro as he says

  “No…I don’t think I will. You see my services aren’t cheap, what will I get out of this?” Hironaka steps up as he says

  “You dare disrespect our lords!” Hironaka creates a sword out of ice as he points it in Miura's face but Miura *laughs* as he looks at Takumi and Shiro as he says

  “You think you hold the power here don’t you? If I wanted it you’d be dead already, all I have to do is send one of my soldiers to the tell Kingsman you killed his son and he’ll have that entire region gone before the sun goes down!” Shiro *sighs* as he says

  “Enough!” Hironaka puts his hand down as the sword morphs into water and wraps around his arm as Shiro looks at Miura's desk and Matsuno slowly walks over as he grabs Miura's desk and puts it back in front of Miura and Shiro says

  “What do you want?” Miura says

  “Two things…One I want you to make Gyomei suffer! Two, I want the power that all of you have obtained!” Takumi is *shocked* as he says

  "You believe-" Shiro puts his hand on Takumi's shoulder as he says

  “If you wish for him to suffer then we will need at least three days since we do not know where he is. But the power we were blessed with has come from our god” Miura *smiles* as he looks at Shiro and says

  “I will keep Kingsman away from you all until then, and tell your god I would like to meet him!” Takumi says

  “Our god doesn’t like weak men like you!” Miura looks at Takumi as he says

  “What about men like Kingsman? A man strong enough to destroy a falling star, fast enough to dodge the beams of the sun for fun!” Takumi *clenches his fist in anger* as Miura *smiles* and says

  “I thought so, now you all have three days to complete both of your tasks or else! Now have a good day, I hope all of you make it home safe” Matsuno is *angry* as he steps up to Miura but suddenly Hokama appears in front of him as Matsuno stops and stares into Hokama eyes as Miura *chuckles* and says

  “Do we have a problem?” Takumi gets *angry* as he says

  “Matsuno, kill him!” Matsuno tries to punch Hokama but Hokama dodges the punch as he punches the air launching a shockwave at Matsuno and Matsuno *spits up blood* as he falls to the ground while he's *holding his stomach in extreme pain* and Miura *laughs* as he says

  “You couldn’t even handle the pressure of Hokama’s punch, he didn't even make contact with you! These are your royal guards!” Hironaka is *shocked* and says

  “Matsuno you corrupted all of your power, I thought you would only use half! You can't be that stupid!” Takumi is *confused* as he says

  “What the hell are you all talking about? Matsuno stand up and kill him!” Hironaka looks at Takumi as he says

  “He can’t my lord, he corrupted all of his elemental power causing him to become extremely strong and fast but sacrificing his body in the process! Meaning Matsuno can destroy this entire planet with a single punch, but all it takes is one punch and he’s either dead or on the verge of it” Shiro says

  “A high risk, high reward technique! Interesting, can he turn it off?” Hironaka says

  “When the corruption starts my lord there is no stopping it, even if he keeps getting stronger his body will still remain weak no matter how much he tries to make it stronger!” Shiro says

  “Hmm, let’s go Matsuno!” Matsuno struggles to stands up *while still holding his stomach in pain* and Takumi pushes Matsuno back as he stumbles out of the room and Takumi follows behind him as he is *angry* and says

  "Who did you face to cause you to use such an ability!?" Hironaka quickly rushes out of the room behind Takumi as he says

  "Wait my lord!" Shiro walks over to the door as he looks back at Miura and says

  “I’ll be back when its time” Shiro closes the door as Miura *laughs* and looks at Hokama as he says

  "And now we are in a perfect position!" Hokama says

  "A position to do what my lord?" Miura says

  "A position to be successful without putting us at risk!" Hokama says

  "I'm not sure about this my lord, should we truly be putting lord Kingsman and lord Kaito at risk!? Miura says

  "Calm down, neither of them or this region is going to be hurt! We are simply using a few people to put all of us in a better position! After this both of our great lords will owe us, and we could ask for anything!" Hokama is *stunned* as he says

  "Anything!" Miura *smiles* as he says

  "You could ask lord Kaito for anything, you could even be the new general and be put into the main village!" Hokama is *shocked* as he says

  "Really!?" Miura says

  "If the plan goes as it is supposed to, then I can make a personal guarantee you will move up! Just stick with me a little longer Hokama, I'll help everyone get what they want!"

  At the same time Gyomei is walking down the street as he looking for Dai and thinks

  "Where the hell did he run off to-" Gyomei notices Dai sitting on the roof of a building down the street as Dai's eating a bowl of ramen and Gyomei rushes towards Dai as Dai tosses the bowl to side and he stands up as he smells the air and says

  "What's that? It smells amazing!" Dai walks out of sight as Gyomei thinks

  "I can't let him get away!" Gyomei jumps onto the roof of the building but Dai is gone as Gyomei is *frustrated* and thinks

  "Damn it! Slow the hell down you little animal" Dai looks down off a roof as he sees a man cooking chunks of meat on the grill and Dai jumps down as he walks over to the grill and looks at the man cooking and says

  “Hey you, give me some of that!” The man cooking looks down at Dai as he says

  “Three hundred yen!” Dai says

  “Sure, here!” Dai throws something in the air and the man looks up as he catches it and he opens his hand but he's *shocked* as it's rocks and he looks down at Dai but a piece of meat is missing as Dai is gone and the man is *angry* as he screams

  “YOU THIEVING LITTLE SHIT!”

  At the same time Dai is sitting on top of a roof eating the meat until suddenly a hand grabs his shoulder and Dai looks behind him as he sees three men standing behind him and he stands up as he sees they all have strange symbol on there shirts and the man in the middle says

  “Well, you’ve got some real talent kid” Dai is *confused* as he says

  “Who the hell are you?” The one in the middle says

  “I’m Murata!” He points to the one on the left as he says

  “This is Kurata!” Murata points to the one on his right and says

  “This is Fukuda…And you are?” Dai says

  “Dai, but what the hell do you want?” Murata says

  “You got skill, but you're sloppy” Dai says

  “I can beat all of you with one hand behind my back, my skill far surpasses all of yours combined!” Murata says

  “Are you positive?” Murata takes a bite out of a chunk of meat and Dai is *shocked* as he looks down and sees his food is missing and Dai says

  “How the hell did you-” Murata says

  “This is what I mean when I say your skills are lacking, but we can fix that!” Dai *smiles* as he says

  “For someone like me it’ll cost you!” Murata says

  “How’s this?” Murata throws Dai a bag of yen and Dai looks in the bag as he says

  “That’s not enough!” Dai throws the bag past Murata's head as he says

  “What do you think, Gyome?” Gyomei catches the bag as all of them turn around and look at Gyomei in *shock* as he says

  “Far from enough!” Gyomei throws the bag back to Dai as Murata says

  “What!? That’s over fifty thousand yen, if you don’t think it's enough then give it back. We don’t need either one of you anyway!” Gyomei points at Dai as he says

  “He has it not me!” All of them turn around but there *shocked* as Dai is gone and they look back towards Gyomei but Gyomei is gone as well and Murata is *angry* as he screams

  “DAMN IT!”

  At the same time Dai and Gyomei are walking on the street as Dai is *laughing* and says

  “Maybe you're not so bad Gyome!” Gyomei says

  “First my name is Gyomei, second I told you to not appear suspicious! But you decided to steal from the people of this village, you're putting all of us at risk!” Dai *smiles* as he says

  “We’re fine, they couldn’t catch us” Gyomei says

  “That’s not the point Dai, your playing a dangerous game don’t forget where we are! This village is full of murders and I'm pretty sure they won't take well to someone stealing from them, you have to stop this!” Dai says

  “Yeah yeah I’ll stop, besides now I can pay for it!” Dai puts the bag of yen in his pocket as they make it back to the house and stop in front of the door as Gyomei looks around and says

  “Where is Riku and Itsuki?” Dai says

  “Don’t know, maybe if you didn't spend all day chasing me you'd know!” Gyomei looks at Dai as he says

  "Shut up!" Dai pushes the door over as he walks into the house and Gyomei *sighs* as he picks up the door and walks into the house placing the door back onto it's hinges and Gyomei walks upstairs as Dai is standing in the doorway *shocked* and Gyomei walks over as he looks into the room and sees Riku and Itsuki with a large elegant platter of sushi and Gyomei says

  “Oh, this is where you both were!” Dai walks over to them and tries to grab some sushi off of the platter but Riku grabs his finger with the chopstick and bends it back stopping Dai's hand as he says

  “That’s not yours!” Dai pulls his hand back as he walks around the platter and tries to grab a piece of sushi from the other side but Itsuki grabs his wrist using his chopsticks as he says

  “Don’t even think about it!” Dai jumps over the sushi as he tries to grab a piece from the middle but Riku catches his finger with his chopsticks as he pushes him away and sending Dai slamming into the wall and Dai slowly stands up as he is *angry* and says

  “I don’t give a damn who's it is, its mine now!” Dai runs around them as he tries grabbing handfuls of sushi but Riku and Itsuki both catches his fingers with there chopsticks until Dai falls over as he tries to catch his breath and Gyomei *laughs* as he steps over Dai and says

  “Can I get a piece?” Riku looks up at Gyomei as he *smiles* and says

  “Have a seat!” Gyomei sits down and grabs some chopsticks but as he takes a bite Gyomei is *stunned* and he looks at Riku and Itsuki as he says

  “Wow this is delicious, where did you get it?” Itsuki and Riku look at each other as they start *laughing* and Gyomei is *confused* as he says

  “Where did you guys get this sushi? You two didn't steal it, did you!?” Riku says

  “Well–” Suddenly a distressed voice from outside screams

  “WHERE IS THE ROYAL SUSHI!?” Itsuki and Riku stand up as they walk over to the window and Itsuki *smiles* as he says

  “Dinner and a show, I'm starting to like this village!” Riku *laughs* and says

  “Me too!” They both look outside as they see a man in the street *extremely panicked* and The Man says

  “You fools, who has the audacity to steal from our lords! One of you dare–” Suddenly the man feels a hand grabs his shoulder as he turns around and sees Ichiro standing behind and The man is *shocked* and *scared* as he kneels to Ichiro and Ichiro says

  “What's the problem, Azuma?” Azuma with a shaky voice says

  “M-My lord...I deeply apologize, but someone stole the royal sushi!” Ichiro steps past Azuma as he says

  “I see, who has stolen the royal sushi? Please come forward, if not then there will be a grave punishment! I don't wish for it too be such, but certain things are simply un-” Suddenly a piece of sushi hits Ichiro in the head as he looks over and sees Dai standing in the window with a handful of sushi as he screams

  “SHUT UP I'M TRYING TO EAT!” Gyomei grabs Dai by his shirt as he pulls him to the side of the window as he says

  “Are you crazy!?” Itsuki says

  "...Maybe he didn't notice us!" Riku slowly peeks out the window and sees Ichiro pointing his hand towards the building as he pulls back one of his finger and Riku is *shocked* as he quickly turns around and says

  “Duck!” Dai says

  “Wha–” Suddenly the entire house is destroyed as all of them are sent flying into the air until Riku and Gyomei smash into a house as Itsuki and Dai slam down in the middle of the street and Dai slowly stands up and he *holds his shoulder in pain* as he slowly looks into the air and sees Ichiro floating above them and Dai takes a step forward but Itsuki grabs Dai's shoulder as he pulls him back and says

  “Run, now!” Itsuki and Dai both turn around and quickly run down the street as Ichiro flies above them and he says

  "The two of you will never escape my eyes, nothing in this region can hide from my eyes!" Ichiro points his hand down towards Itsuki and Dai but Itsuki pulls Dai into an alley in between a pair of houses and Itsuki continues pulling Dai as they rush through the alley until Itsuki stops and pulls Dai into the shadows of the alley as he *slows his breathing* and he looks down both ends of the alley but Itsuki doesn't see anyone as he *holds his chest in pain* and thinks

  "My chest feels like it's about to collapse...I need to slow my breathing!" Itsuki takes a step forward but before he steps out of the shadows he senses something and he presses his back against the wall as he closes his eyes and puts his hand over Dai's eyes as Ichiro slowly lands on the ground at the end of the alley and he slowly walks through the alley as he says

  “I haven’t seen any of you here before, are you from the Minamoto region? Or maybe the Shimadzu region?” Itsuki is *nervous* as he hears Ichiro steps echoing through the silent alley and Ichiro says

  “Or are you the warriors from the Tohoku region we are hunting!?” Suddenly Ichiro's footsteps completely stop as Itsuki is *nervously shaking* and Itsuki thinks

  "He stopped right in front of us! He knows, he has to know!" Itsuki slowly clenches his fist as Ichiro continues walking forward and out of the alley as Itsuki gives a *relieved sigh* and Itsuki slowly opens his eyes as he looks around and doesn't see Ichiro and he whispers

  “Dai, let’s go” Itsuki moves his hand away from Dai's eyes as they both slowly walk out of the darkness and Dai says

  "He went that way so we can-" Suddenly a voice echos from above them as it says

  “So you are from the Tohoku region!” Itsuki and Dai are both *shocked* as they look up and see Ichiro floating above them as Itsuki grabs Dai’s shoulder and calls his lightning down on top of them with such force it slightly pushed Ichiro back as it's intense light blind him until the lightning fades and Ichiro notices there both gone and he says

  "Do not get ahead of yourselves, you still cannot escape my sight! But we will find you shortly!"

  At the same time Itsuki is standing on top of a tall building as he scans the village and doesn't see Ichiro and he says

  "Alright Dai, I think we got away!" Dai slowly looks up at Itsuki as he's laying on the ground convulsing as he's wrapped in Itsuki lightning and he says

  “G-Get...T-This off!” Itsuki is *shocked* as he turns around and sees Dai and he opens his hand as he pulls his lightning back his hands and says

  “Sorry, but we need to focus on getting Riku and Gyomei before that guy gets to them!" Dai slowly stands up as he walks up next to Itsuki and looks over the village until he notices the house Riku and Gyomei crashed into and he points at it as he says

  “That’s the building they crashed into down there, but its surrounded by a lot of them" Itsuki looks at the house and he is *shocked* as thousands of warriors line the rooftops and he says

  “I thought Riku said it wasn’t a lot of them, there has to be at least two thousand of them" Dai *smiles* as he says

  "Relax, it's not like most of them are stronger than us. All we need is one big attack to wipe them out, and then the real fight starts! And what better way to start off a fight then to make a good entrance!"

  At the same time Gyomei slowly wakes up as he's beared in debris and he *coughs as he holds his chest in pain* and he slowly looks around until he sees Riku on the ground unmoving and Gyomei is *shocked* as he *weakly* says

  "No!" Gyomei slowly crawls over to Riku as he puts his hand on his heart and feels a rhythmic heartbeat and he lets out a *sigh of relief* as he says

  "You had me scared for a minute Riku, but I knew you were too tough to die!" Suddenly Riku *coughs* as he slowly opens his eyes and sees Gyomei and *weakly* says

  "Gyomei!? Where are we?" Gyomei looks around as he *smiles* and says

  "I believe we broke into someone's house" Riku pushes some debris off of him as he says

  "Let's leave before they get back then!" They push out of the debris and stumble out into the middle of the street as both of them drop to their knees and Gyomei says

  "I guess that attack took more out of us than we expected!" Riku slowly looks up as he sees the thousands of warriors surrounding them and he notices the blood thirsty look in their eyes as Ichiro floats above them and Ichiro turns and faces his warriors as he says

  “My great warriors of god, these unholy creatures have entered our home and have defiled our lands! We cannot allow this to continue, they have disrespected us our god and our land! FOR THAT THEY MUST DIE!” All of the warriors *scream in excitement* as Riku and Gyomei go back to back as all the warriors rushes towards them and Riku able blast away the warriors close to him as Gyomei sends hundreds of them flying with his punches until there overrun as one of the warriors grab Gyomei from behind restraining his arms as another one rushes towards Gyomei and tries to stab him but Gyomei flips the man over his shoulders slamming him into the man in front of him as Gyomei notices two of warriors grabs Riku's hands from the side pulling them down as three warriors rush towards Riku and Gyomei is *shocked* as he screams

  "NO!" Gyomei rushes towards Riku but suddenly he's stabbed in the back as he *screams in pain* and Riku notices Gyomei drop to one knee as a sword sticks out of his back and Riku is *shocked* as he screams

  "GYOMEI!" Riku surges with wind as he blows all five of the warriors back and he rushes over to Gyomei as he slams his hand down onto the ground next to him and a giant tornado forms around them as it pushes hundreds of the warriors back until Riku falls to his knees as the tornado starts to slow down and Riku slwoly looks up as he grabs Gyomei and creates a force field in the middle of the tornado as suddenly a giant flaming lightning bolt slams down in the middle of the tornado wrapping the tornado in fire as lightning surges all through the tornado electrocuting the warriors until it explodes with such force Ichiro is senting flying back across the sky as Dai *laughs* and says

  "Now that's an entrance!" Itsuki is *shocked* as he looks at the houses around them still standing and he says

  "How the hell is anything still down here after that explosion!?" Riku's force field slowly disappears as Riku and Gyomei walks up to Itsuki and Dai as Riku says

  "Because I directed all the force of the explosion into the air, there may still be kids in this village...I won't hurt them!" Dai says

  "Have you seen any of them?" Riku says

  "No, but the warriors are dispatched and the village still stands. It doesn't matter whether we destroyed this village or not, the immediate threat that we were focused on is currently dispatched" Dai says

  "And we've still yet to receive a formal thank you for saving both of your lives!" Riku says

  “Thanks for the assist!” Itsuki is *confused* as he says

  “Don’t worry about it, but how did you know we were coming? I used my lightning to travel down here!” Riku *chuckles* as he says

  “I could sense Dai coming a mile away!” Suddenly a giant ball of light quickly flies towards them from the side but Gyomei jumps into air as his hands are glowing a light blue and punches the ball and it explodes with such force Gyomei slams back into the ground as he lands on his feet and looks up at Ichiro as he says

  "We can't wait any longer, luck or not we're taking this opportunity! Go and get Kenji, I'll handle him!" Riku is *shocked* as he says

  "But-" Gyomei says

  "Riku, I don't have time to argue! Go help Kenji, I can handle myself!" Itsuki grabs Riku shoulder as he says

  "Where is Kenji!?" Riku looks at Gyomei and back at Itsuki as he says

  "Come on!" Riku rushes past Itsuki as Dai and Itsuki follow behind him and Gyomei looks up at Ichiro as he says

  "Now it's just us!" Ichiro slowly looks down at Gyomei as he says

  "Do not speak as if we are equals, you will sacrifice your life to die for nothing!" Ichiro shoots a ball of light towards Gyomei and Gyomei's hands glow a bit dark blue as he punches the ball of light in the bottom of it pushing it back into the air towards Ichiro and Ichiro dodges the ball as he points his hand towards it as it changes direction and stops next to him as he says

  "Your stronger than I expected, but that will do nothing to stop this outcome!" Ichiro stares into Gyomei's eyes as suddenly Ichiro disappears and Gyomei is *shocked* as he says

  "Where did he...NO!" Gyomei turns around and takes a step but suddenly he turns around as he sees the ball of light right behind him

  At the same time Riku,Itsuki and Dai all run around a corner and see Kenji tied up on the post next to the giant stairs and Itsuki is *shocked* as he says

  "Kenji!" Dai says

  "He looks weak, but at least I know he wouldn't die!" Riku rushes towards Kenji but Itsuki grabs his shoulder and pulls him back as Ichiro slams down in front of him and Itsuki steps in front of Riku as his hands surge with lightning and Ichiro says

  "Hello children, unfortunately I cannot allow you all to retrieve the son of Kingsman!" Ichiro points his hand towards them as he slowly forms a ball of light in his hand but suddenly Gyomei appears in front of Ichiro as he presses his hand against Ichiro's trapping the ball of light between there hands and Ichiro is *shocked* as he says

  "What are you doing!?" Gyomei *smiles* as he says

  "Whatever I have to, that will keep them safe!" Ichiro tries to pull his hand away but Gyomei tightly grips his hand as he pulls Ichiro forward and punches him in the stomach as the ball of light becomes unstable between there hands and Gyomei says

  "What's wrong!? Can't focus!" Suddenly the ball of light between their hands explodes launching them back and they slam into houses as they collapse on top of them and Riku is *shocked* as he says

  "Gyomei!" Dai says

  "Let's go, Gyome is stronger than him!" Dai rushes towards Kenji but suddenly DaiSuke kicks Dai in the stomach as he's launched back and slams extremely hard into the ground as Riku and Itsuki are *shocked* and both of them back up but they both bump into something and they slowly turn around as they see Ichiro holding Gyomei in the air by his neck and Ichiro *smiles* as he looks down at them and says

  "I'm glad I finally get to see all of you this close, that alley had very poor lighting!" Suddenly Itsuki pushes Riku over and Itsuki leans out of the way as DaiSuke flies by him attempting to kick them and DaiSuke lands next to Ichiro as he looks back at Itsuki and Riku as he says

  "So you're the trespassers, I expected men! But they'd disrespect us sending these children as if they could possibly defeat us!" Ichiro throws Gyomei into a wall and Gyomei slams against the wall with such force he's stuck against it as DaiSuke and Ichiro start walking towards Riku and Itsuki but Dai flies past them as he surges with fire and he tries to punch Ichiro but DaiSuke catches his hand as Ichiro punches Dai in the stomach and slams his hand against Dai's throat as he puts his hands together and smashes down on his head slamming Dai into the ground and Riku is *shocked* but Itsuki grabs his shoulder as he says

  “Riku, run!” Riku is *concerned* as he says

  “What!? I won’t leave abandon you, there is nobody that can help you!” Itsuki says

  “One of us has to get Sensei, I know you’ll make it farther than me” Riku is *nervous* but he remembers the seal Kingsman gave him and he touches his neck as he says

  “Wait I can–” Suddenly Itsuki grabs Riku's shirt and he throws him into the air as Ichiro and DaiSuke both knee Itsuki in his stomach *causing him to spit up blood* as he's launched back and slams against the giant stairs and Riku is *shocked* as he screams

  "NO!" As he cast wind into the seal Kingsman placed on his neck

  At the same time Kaito and Kingsman are sitting in a bar drinking sake and *laughing* as Kingsman says

  "Honestly, if you hadn't interfered in that fight I might have ripped him in half with my bare hands-" Suddenly Kingsman's darkness covers his eyes and he sees through Riku's eyes and he notices everyone on the ground as Ichiro and DaiSuke both slowly turn and look up at Riku flying backwards through the air and Kingsman stands up as Kaito notices Kingsman is no longer *laughing* and he says

  “Kingsman, are you alright? What’s wrong?” Kingsman *sighs* as he looks at the bartender and pats him on the shoulder as he turns around and leaves the bar as Kaito rushes out behind him and says

  "Kingsman, what's happening!?" Kingsman stops as he slowly turns around and looks at Kaito as he says

  “You’ve been watching me for a while Kaito, making sure I didn’t rush off to the fujiwara region and break the treaty. But unfortunately for you, there's no stopping me!” Kaito is *shocked* as he says

  “Kingsman you said you wouldn’t step foot in there region, if you do this we’ll be invaded! We’ll lose everything we’ve built!” Kingsman says

  “Wrong, we’d lose everything if one of our warriors was to go to there region. Not a former member of our region!” Kaito is *confused* and says

  “What do you mean?” Kingsman takes off his shirt as he throws it on the ground and says

  “This entire region means absolutely nothing to me anymore, and don’t worry I’ll keep my promise not to step foot in that region!” Kingsman uses his darkness to walk through the air as he lands on the ground and walks towards the gate but Kaito says

  “Don’t take another step!” Kingsman slowly turns around as he says

  “Listen Kait–” Kingmsan turns around and sees Kaito in front of him as he tries to blast him with a wave of Icy Sun Flames but Kingsman's able to dodge it as he jumps back and *smiles* as he says

  "So you're getting serious, do I truly mean that much to you?" Kaito's Icy Sun Flames surge across his hand as he is *angry* and says

  “I won’t let you throw away everything we’ve built together!” Kingsman says

  “Kaito, you know we can’t do this! If we fight this entire region will be destroyed, but we both know either of us won't change our minds on this!" Kaito notices the entire village is watching them as he looks around and says

  “Everyone, inside your homes now!” But none of them move as they staring at Kingsman and Kaito and Kaito gets *angrier* as he screams

  “NOW!” Everyone rushes inside their homes as Kingsman *chuckles* and says

  “I believe this is their first time they've ever seen you lose your temper, or even use that ability! Your changing there idea of you because of me, focus on yourself!" Kaito slowly walks towards Kingsman and Kingsman says

  "Fine then, since words won't work right now!" Kingsman snaps as a dome of darkness surrounds them and Kingsman covers his hands in darkness as Kaito rushes up and they start quickly clashing with a barrage of punches until Kaito catches both of Kingsman's wrist as he headbutts him and knees him in the stomach as he punches Kingsman in the face and Kingsman stumbles back as Kaito rushes Kingsman and tries to punch him but Kingsman leans back as Kaito punches the dome causing his fist to bounce off of it as he punches Kaito in the stomach and in the face as Kaito stumbles back and Kaito surges with his Icy Sun Flames engulfing half of the dome and Kingsman says

  "Even after I put this dome down all this pressure is still going to damage the village, we need to stop!"

  Kaito covers his hands in his Icy Sun Flames and then they clash and start clashing with a barrage of punches and Kaito says

  “You can stop this, if you stop being selfish! You don't need to do this alone, there is another way!" Kingsman says

  “So what do you suggest? Me and you go to the region and kill them all!” Kaito says

  “If that what it takes to make sure we don’t lose the region, then yes!” Kingsman *sighs* as he slowly walks towards Kaito and he says

  “If there’s one thing I’ve taught you, it was never sacrifice everything you’ve built for one person! No matter who it is! Kaito, I'm sorry but this is something I must do alone. Keep this region in order, I trust you Kaito!” Kingsman stops in front Kaito as his Icy Sun Flames slow extinguish and Kaito says

  "Ki-" Kingsman uppercuts Kaito with such force it cracks the dome and the dome disappears as Kaido is launched extremely high into the air and Kingsman turns around as he walks to the gate and opens it as he looks back into the air and says

  "Let's see if the people of this village will take care of you!" Kingsman closes the gate behind him as Kaito slowly falls towards the ground and someone catches him as they gently put him on the ground and Kaito slowly opens his eyes as he sees a blurry silhouette standing above him and Kaito *weakly* says

  "Thank you...I-" Kaito passes out as Kei puts a hand on his chest and says

  "I will always be here for you brother, but I will have to save you from Kingsman's hold! I'm glad you still have the strength to stand against Kingsman, we'll need it to return honor and respect back to our once feared and respected clan!”
