“Its you, Yuma Nozomi!”

Yuuto can't keep up with what's happening right now.

“Yuma? As in, Kuragami’s brother?”

Yuma looks back at Yuuto.

“So what I’ve been told is true, you ran into my brother.”

“Told? By who?”

Yuma looks back at Yuuto. He cracks his knuckles.

“Come then Shadow Disciple. Let’s see what you got!”

Kyoya goes to punch Yuma. However, he slaps the punch away and punches Kyoya's face so fast that Kyoya didn't notice until a second after impact. His nose starts to bleed.

Kyoya tries to feel the blood coming out his nose with his hands but Yuma gives him no time to rest. He kicks his chest. Kyoya starts to fly back. While airborne, Yuma dashes appearing right behind him and slams him down to the ground.

Yuuto is amazed at how strong and fast Yuma is.

“He's not even trying yet he has the upper edge on Kyoya. I trained with him most my life. Kyoya isn’t one that can easily be pushed around.”

Yuma stares at Kyoya struggling on the floor.

“You give up?”

“Never!”

Kyoya faces his hand to Yuma. Yuma sighs.

Kyoya starts manipulating all the shadows again. He absorbs all of it into his hand and turns it into aura.

“SHADOWS HEAR MY VOICE!”

Kyoya starts charging up a large beam of Shadow Aura while Yuma is right in front of him watching.

“I’m sure they can hear you.”

Yuma jumps back. He puts his right hand on the ground and raises his aura.

“You’ll die here Yuma Nozomi. Lend me strength, Amissa Mundi!”

Kyoya releases his technique. A stupendous shadow beam comes out from the palm of his hand, shadows potent enough to bring destruction to the whole island.

“Interesting. But you're too weak.”

Ice comes out from the floor protecting Yuma from the beam. Impact causes a large explosion again being seen from the whole island. The ice was able to block the attack with no casualties.

“This guy is way too strong.”

Yuma walks around the ice to Kyoya on the floor.

“Now you done?”

“This fight may be done, but you’ll get what’s coming regardless.

His Shadow Coating fades away.

“I guess the blood of your brother will have to do.”

Kyoya fades away in the shadows. Yuma walks up to Yuuto.

“You alright kid?”

“Yeah. The names Yuuto.”

Yuuto puts his arm out for a handshake. Yuma shakes it.

“Sorry for putting you through that. It was me who told you ti come here after all.”

“Really? Why?”

“I ain’t gonna sugarcoat this, you’re a Shadow Disciple. It’s dangerous to have you roaming the world by yourself.

“True.”

Yuma picks Yuuto up.

“So I decided to bring you with me. The life you lived before means nothing now.”

Yuuto is confused.

“So what does this mean for me?”

“Your purpose Yuuto. Your true purpose, is something we all want to know.”

Back in Danketsu City.

Kazuya, Akuma and Mizuki are in a room speaking about certain things.

"Raffles Circus..”

Akuma laughs.

“All outlaws ended up dead. Why does that file concern you so much Kazuya?”

“One escaped. I don’t see anything about him.”

“About who?”

“Scorpion.”

Mizuki gets interested.

“What are you suggesting? That they missed out information in the report, intentionally.”

“Yeah, but scorpion isn’t the only thing missing.”

They both look at Akuma.

“Raffles worked with a Shadow Disciple. It was clear when Genesis turned up.”

“That wasn’t in the report too.”

Mizuki sighs. She walks out the room.

“Their first mission and they decided to commit a crime.”

She smiles.

“Cherry, you have yourself an interesting team.”
