Okami in shock is unable to move his legs shaking in terror, the rest of them jump up but hesitate to act.
Miari then proudly says "if you cowards won't make the first move i will".
His hair blows as a gust of wind blows and he creates a release known sword of the zeons in his empty sheath, which he pulls out with haste.
Shirogane reacts grasping at Okami's torn shirt and throws him into the embrace of Ono.
Shirogane then infused his hand with raw zeon energy and uses the move dominant fist colliding with the sword and they all are pushed back, sand filling the air.
Daku and Kibar wait above looking down on them, when Hikaru's aura changes once again and disappears from sight appearing seconds later above Daku readying a kick but Kibar takes the hit using his fore arm to take all the force and snarls "I will reclaim my honour you bastard".
His veins then begin to pulse with a luminous green, his teeth growing into fangs, his hair becoming scratchy and torn, and finally his body explodes as he enters the form overload infused two.
Kibar then grabs onto Hikaru's ankle and begins to launch him into the surface below but Hikaru reacting to this twists his leg breaking it and allowing him to escape Kibar's grasp.
Hikaru dismissing the agony he's in, healing his broken leg.
Readying himself for the second attack but even ready he was caught off guard by Kibar's new explosive level of power, as Kibar keeps up with the movements of Hikaru.
He then hits Hikaru in the jaw breaking it off and Kibar follows this up as he grabs a tight hold of Hikaru's skull and uses his overwhelming force to slam it against the same rock Hikaru was lent against just moments ago.
Hikaru's face now disfigured and his vision disorientated, with death immanent as Kibar appears in front of the broken Hikaru readying his fist to connect but then Hati releases a fusion disc into Kibar, but then once hope had returned Kibar raises his arm with no haste and grabs hold of the disc stopping all of its momentum and folding it into two pieces but it seems fate is on the side of Earth this time, as this act causes a sand storm to appear with only lasting a few seconds but this was enough.
Hikaru uses this to be advantageous and heals his wounds.
Hikaru now healed, thinking clearly the realisation sets in.
He had only now realised that the first time they fought each other, victory had only came to Hikaru due to the surprise of his arrival.
Hikaru now tries to think of solutions to the new found problem of the difference in their strength.
Meanwhile Daku continues to watch over looking towards the human Torino in disgust but then Ono throws his war axe at Daku cutting his left arm off but Daku shrugs this off and regenerates his arm with ease and continues to glare at a Torino.
Ubel unsheathes her katanas, refusing to be ignored she says "leave this to me... I'll get him to look at us".
She follows this by infusing her energy into her whole body.
Now beginning to glow a mixture of royal blue and sky blue she flew at Daku.
Ubel now cutting into Daku's back, uses him as a stepping stone.
To allow herself to spins herself around like a wheel, slicing his back open.
Daku now infuses his hand with chaos energy, it now glowing a vibrant purple, releases a chaos beam.
Ubel using her steel bladed katana parries the attack away almost as if her movements were water and she then strikes but Daku's hand still infused now begins to shoot sparks of energy as he releases a chaos shock bomb.
Ubel now with no time to react is stunned, leaving her open for Daku to attack but before he has the chance.
Ono grasps a smaller axe with two heads on either side of the crumbling wood acting as the axes handle, Ono then threw it into Daku with unbelievable force.
Then grabbing another axe of the same design, Ono leapt up into Daku and hacks his gut open.
Now that Daku's grip has loosened Ono delivers one final slash into Daku's right wrist leaving the axe inside the wound.
Ono takes hold of Ubel and descends down to safety.
Daku with a new look of displeasure on his face, rips the axe out of his wrist healing his wounds, the guts now wrapping around filling his body once again with life energy replacing the missing pieces.
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
Daku then proceeds to eradicate the axe in his hand with nothing but his raw strength alone he turns the axe into dust.
Daku now displeased with them he decides to make examples of them until Mirai flew past him causing grains of sand to fill the air in which Daku uses another chaos shock bomb clearing it away only to see Shirogane now in the form imperial times five, looking proud of himself.
Which only makes Daku more frustrated.
Infusing energy into his body at rapid speed but still showing perfect control, his body shows no build up to this.
Daku enters the form imperial one and in a instant he becomes the most powerful being there.
Everyone now staring at Daku as he moves the sand below him blows into disaster but unfazed Shirogane appearing behind Daku uses dominant fist and connects against Daku's skull but it has no effect.
Daku then infuses energy into his arm resulting in the move chaos beam releasing directly into the ribs of Shirogane but he reinforced that point of his body using fusion energy.
Now minimalizing the damage Shirogane strafes back.
Leaving Daku hesitant of throwing more attacks, he decides to remain still.
Shirogane now realises that the strength difference between them is that of a peasant and a prince.
Mirai sees this opportunity, infusing energy and releasing it in one burst, creating two royal blue swords and he then uses them to slash into Shirogane's back.
Shirogane taken a back by this sudden amount of pain is left stunned while Daku ascends into the darkening sky.
Mirai infuses his energy into the curse mark on his left bicep resulting in him entering the form imperial one just like his elder brother.
Mirai then grasps hold of Shirogane's shirt and keeps him in place waiting for Daku.
Who then instantly closes the distance between himself and Shirogane.
With little time to react Shirogane throws a punch against Daku in which Daku ducks down and uppercuts straight into Shirogane's jaw.
Ignoring this and trying to escape Shirogane kicks into Mirai's gut but Mirai reacts to this attack grabbing hold of Shirogane's leg and twisting it leaving the leg mangled and broken.
Mirai then swiftly moves around Shirogane's body and whacks him over the back of his head knocking him out.
Mirai disappointed then says "your lucky were in need of more Zeons, your skill is pathetic".
Hikaru then gets distracted and sees Shirogane being lifted up by Mirai who is next to his brother Daku.
Hikaru then realises that the hope of victory has been lost and they're too weak to fight against such forces of strength.
Kibar then rushes into Hikaru and shouts "don't ruin my fun now and give up".
Kibar then threw a punch knocking Hikaru to the ground and proceeds to grab Hikaru by the ankle and then he tosses him around until finally letting go and the beaten, disfigured Hikaru is left on the floor unconscious.
Mirai then says" there was no need to exert yourself anymore he was giving up".
Kibar then says proudly "I know he was but I didn't want that to stop me so I shut him up before he could surrender himself to us".
Daku then orders with a cold expression on his face "Kibar take him with us".
Which Kibar with a menacing grin and uncontrollable laughter grabs hold of Hikaru's broken skull and drags it against the rugged surface of the wasteland.
After he throws Hikaru's mangled body into the air and past Mirai in which he leaps up causing a print of his aura in the ground below and he proceeds to grab hold of Hikaru by the ankle and waits for Daku.
Which leaves the rest of Earth's defenders beginning to realise that their best chances of survival have just been taken away with ease.
They each begin to tremble and drop to their knees all of them except Torino and Hati.
There and then Torino trades fifteen percent of his own life to increase his full power, while Hati enters the state half conversion: raw zeon they then perform a infusion each to create their releases.
Torino now running forwards the ascending zeons breaks the limitations of his age, leaping upwards.
Which he is then followed by Hati holding his hand up again in the same position of his fusion disc but this time his veins glow blue, and a explosion of energy creates a rotating disc at accelerated speed, a disc of raw zeon energy.
Which is then thrown passing Torino in which a Torino takes hold of and rams into the stomach of Kibar.
The blood spitting out and covering both Kibar and Torino's bodies.
Kibar then takes hold of Torino pulling him away from the disc and the disc is then nullified by Kibar's aura.
Torino then breaks Kibar's arm and then appears behind Kibar.
Which Torino follows up by using imperial fist no imperial god fist with ten times the power of a standard imperial fist, Kibar is caught off guard by the sudden power increase and drops Hikaru to be able to defend the coming attack which he succeeds to do.
Hati taking advantage of Kibar's mistake catches Hikaru and descends back down to the temple and his broken comrades.
Mirai then says "don't you worry brother I'll go get him back".
As Mirai then cracks his hand and begins to create his sword, Daku says back in a confident tone "there is no need, we'll leave with just one, after all this one will be the easiest to mould him being the Weakest".
Torino then shouts with both anger and fear in his voice "you won't get away with my son".
Mirai then using his sword of the zeons slices into the chest of Torino and kicks him down straight through a temple pillar causing the ceiling to cave in.
Now with everyone distracted with worry the Zeons leave with Shirogane in hand.
Chapter3.1: The Red empire, part two
The Zeons now returned to the emperor but with only one Zeon in hand, they meet with a pale looking figure, with a sickening look of pleasure.
He mocks them "only one target I thought there was two?".
Mirai who had already infused his energy, filled with hatred reveals a sword of the zeons which he then proceeds to slide away from sight and appears behind the figure with the blade against their neck drawing a few drops of vibrant blood.
Mirai then whispers "say something stupid again and this blade draws more then a few drops of blood from you Azul".
Mirai then backs off letting Azul go but knocking him to his knees.
Daku carries on, with Kibar dragging Shirogane behind them.
Azul standing back up says proudly, glaring at Mirai "I guess you Zeons weren't worth helping back then, you should show me respect after all your emperor wouldn't be the man he is today if it wasn't for my genes".
Mirai once again infusing his energy is stopped by Daku who then says "we might loathe Uzunami but I will not stand for any disrespect against my race, don't forget it was my father who decided to take your help and give you the resources to survive in the first place".
Azul then backs away with hate still in his eyes.
Then Daku's group continued to the emperor's throne room.
Where all of the higher ups in the empire stand around this includes Azul.
Mirai says "this is a huge expansion for the empire were taking a whole system and this is the beginning of that, kind of crazy to think that we were the centre of this".
Daku then responds with "just stay quiet little brother and let me handle this part".
Uzunami the emperor stands and the room falls silent as if everyone just dropped dead and this is not respect its fear in which Uzunami demands.
The Red emperor then demanded to know "why is their only one, if their were two known Zeons on the planet Earth".
Azul looking proud towards Mirai but Daku speaks before Mirai has the chance to target Azul and he says "the inhabitants were stronger then we first thought, they have created their own enhancements, with two humans being the cause for this failure but the Zeon left behind, his path is set to follow a certain path by his abilities but this one we took is weak and can easily be moulded, my emperor I ask that you allow this failure and take this Zeon as a unmoulded piece to become your next weapon".
Azul takes this as his chance "my emperor if we keep allowing these failures then the empire will become weaker, why not make a example of these three?".
Mirai infuses energy into his body at rapid speed his hair begins to move slowly as his aura increases in pressure, his body muscles become streamlined and he then appeared behind Azul but then Uzunami declares "only I get to decide what is accepted, I may owe a debt to you Azul but you are only one man do not forget your place, the Zeon race is of a much higher value then you".
With that the fight between Mirai and Azul ended.
Uzunami then continues to say "Daku I will take mercy on you and your team but do not think this will result with no punishment".
Daku now concerned and ready to fight for Mirai's sake listens.
"You will be responsible for this Zeon's training, you will decide what to teach him and how.
I expect him to be a well moulded weapon by the time we take Earth for our own".
Mirai and Kibar now letting their guard down let Daku answer "as you wish my emperor", and everyone now leaves the room.
The emperor now in contact with his strongest warriors in the army, to conquer the planets in system seventeen.
