Chapter8: Family reunion

Hours after the two warriors left the capital, they travelled until they came to stand upon a sharp mountainous terrain filled with minuscule patches of nature, which are full of life such as wildlife and indigenous plants.

Kenta and Sorin stood there for minutes allowing the winds to blow past them, causing their hair and clothes to blow frantically.

The stand still between them went on for what seemed to be lifetimes but was broken by one singular act made by the young warrior Sorin.

Sorin had rapidly infused energy throughout his body, which caused the activation of the technique known as energy release blocked.

The activation is followed by the release known as imperial assault, a move in which the user attacks a target while blocking their opponents attacks and once five hits are made against a targets bone, that bone is broken.

Kenta had already dealt with a assault release before his encounter with Sorin, this had allowed the brutal warrior to counter without risk to himself.

Kenta's response was the usage of the release called zeon birage, following the creation of this release was ten cannon sized bullets that appeared around Kenta circling around his body, and all of them are created with raw zeon energy.

Once Kenta had completed the creation of the release, he fired all ten of the dominant blue bullets in the direction of Sorin.

Thanks to the move type called assault used by Sorin, the young warrior was able to block, destroy and defend himself against each one of the bullets sent his way.

But the novice warrior had completely drew all his attention away from Kenta which allowed for the next events to play out.

The brutal warrior had infused miniscule amounts of fusion energy throughout his body, which had sent him into the form known as imperial one, causing his body to change into that of myth and his eyes to gain a piercing glare.

Following this the warrior twin known as Kenta appeared just a few inches above Sorin, now within distance to strike Kenta threw his already infused his fist which left the novice warrior zero time to react.

Kenta's fist was using the move known as divine fist: hammer down, this release had threw Kenta into a unstoppable descent towards Sorin, which allowed the brutal warrior's moonlight silver fist to crash straight into Sorin's face.

This one release of energy decided the fight, leaving the Zeon called Kenta as the victor and the Kiren known as Sorin knocked out on the stone cold terrain of the cliffs area they were surrounded by.

Two hours have later passed our warriors by, which allowed Sorin to recover from his encounter with Kenta, while also allowing him the time to awaken from his coma like state.

Which he finally did only to see Kenta who was sat across from him, the gap between the two warriors was filled only by the lit campfire with three almost completely raw birds cooking around it.

These birds had the appearance of griffon vultures but seemed to be alien in some way. Sorin threw himself up to his feet in shock of the bird he saw and shouted cautiously "are you insane you can't eat Kirfon vultures".

Kenta raised his head sluggishly, his face expressionless as he spoke with boredom "if your worried about their rotten flesh you can reverse it by infusing fusion energy into it, I really thought your great Kiren elder would of given you survival training".

With the novice's mind now settled, he speaks but with a slight tone of aggression "we were never taught by the Keldar".

Kenta now shocked begins to scatter his gaze allowing him to check their surroundings and to his surprise he is shot by the release known as chaos stream, but thanks to Sorin's earlier words Kenta was able to react just in time, rolling his body to the right and just avoiding the cliff edge while also dodging the stream of energy.

Kenta shouted hastily some of his words unclear but the few words that came clear to Sorin were enough.

Which allowed the young warrior to respond by shouting back "we were taught by a Kiren named Kray, he is the leader of the Musenshi and also related to the Keldar himself".

Kenta stays completely motionless and silent as he allows his energy sense to fill his mind but he was set to fail as the attacker had already fled the nearby cliffs.

Kenta after ending the dulling of his natural senses opens his eyes and says as he walks confidently over to Sorin "well Kray was just here and it seems that he was not a sufficient teacher to you and it also appears that Keldar is not what he seems to present himself as".

After speaking Kenta retakes his seat which was followed by Sorin sitting down opposite of him, who asks casually "you mind if I take one of those vultures?".

Kenta responds by extending and waving his arm gently towards the cooking vulture as if too signal to take one, which Sorin did.

After the two warriors had devoured their food and filled their stomachs with the well cooked meat of the Kirfon vultures, Kenta took his stare away from the bone and gave it to Sorin.

Which was followed by Kenta asking "so how many techniques do you know of Sorin?".

The young warrior answered by saying "only the one I was told to teach you, it is common for a Musenshi member to only be taught one of the elder's techniques".

Kenta after hearing Sorin's disappointing answer takes to his feet while saying "it seems that Kray and furthermore Keldar don't want the Kiren race to grow, for what ever reason that is".

Sorin followed Kenta by also taking to his feet and as he begins to stretch his back, he says "so what do we do next Kenta?".

The brutal warrior takes a look in the direction of the Solitude of advisors and answers Sorin's question "I shall train you to fight like a Zeon".

After finishing his sentence Kenta snatches Sorin's broad sword from it's sheath which rested on the novice's back, and he then threw it to the stone cliff below them.

Sorin shocked by the sudden loss of his weapon immediately tries to jump down to the cliff's edge but is knocked further down by Kenta's merciless kick, which left Sorin covered in bruises and scrapes.

Kenta then began to speak, his face holding a grin of euphoric enjoyment "you won't need a sword once you learn how to fight properly, so improvise like your life depends on it".

Kenta slammed into the ground next to Sorin who was only saved as he had rolled to his knees while he also infused energy roughly and rapidly into his energy genes, causing the activation of his technique known as energy release blocked, afterwards Sorin released a bullet of chaos energy.

Thanks to the technique previously activated the chaos bullet used was empowered resulting in a fifty percent increase, with this Sorin's hope of victory grew until it was squashed back down, as Kenta using the meteorite made gauntlet on his fore arm deflected the release of energy straight into the ground in which he stood upon.

Afterwards the brutal warrior raises his torso diagonally while keeping track of Sorin's every move, this was followed by Kenta speaking "well done young student you acted on instinct alone there but you still fight like a coward and not a warrior".

Sorin hearing this shouts in frustration "what do you mean by that?".

Kenta gave his response calmly yet with powerful demand of Sorin's attention "you are still afraid of death, you don't fight like a Demon", after speaking the brutal warrior whispered softly to himself "at least for now you don't".

After speaking the warrior twin present exposes himself to a easy strike in the back, which Sorin easily took the bait and attacked, which lead to Kenta forcing his palm down onto Sorin's back and printing him into the ground.

Kenta eventually takes a deep sigh and releases his forceful hold on Sorin, Kenta later goes on to say "I am not so sure if I need to learn your technique after all it seems to only make you all weaker, Sorin you have no thirst for battle, you just need to let your body take over that is what it means to fight like your life depends on it".

Hearing Kenta's words the young warrior rises up and whispers "I think I understand now you're saying that Keldar and Kray made us weak, that we can't fight without their help".

Kenta becomes thrilled hearing the words come from Sorin's mouth but awaits for his next move, which came soon after as Sorin cancels his technique and creates a release he didn't even know before this encounter.

Sorin had envisioned the weapon he needed the most and poured the strongest energy he had, creating a release known as chaos saber, a broad sword like weapon which was made of hard light chaos energy.

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Kenta smiles while retaking a combat stance as he says while being invigorated by Sorin's achievement, "finally you are ripping those chains off yourself, once you fight me you'll become a new man no a warrior".

Without a single word spoken in response Sorin throws himself towards Kenta while viciously slashing his newly created chaos saber, but this was all a distraction as Sorin later envisions a higher power causing the chaos saber to enlarge and with its growth in size came greater power, this release is it's evolution the release being used is called chaotic saber.

The increase in size was actually a shock to the brutal warrior, which allowed Sorin to cut into the upper chest of Kenta. Which thanks to Sorin's new release was now infected with unstable energy.

The infection of unstable energy had began to decay Kenta's heart and the flesh, bone and muscles that surround it.

The infection only came to a halt as Kenta had sacrificed his life span to repair his decaying heart, but at this rate he'll lose all his life before the battle ends.

So there was only one option left for Kenta he decided to show just how powerful the curse mark is.

Kenta's energy began to rapidly travel throughout his body as he entered the form uncontrollable three once again.

After Kenta achieved his final option despair slammed into Sorin and he became frightened to the core.

But Sorin had misread Kenta as this form was not to be used against him, Kenta decided to show his mastery, as he uses this power to exert all of his energy including the unstable energy which he was infected with.

With the success of this Kenta cancelled his constant regeneration and with that came relaxation as Kenta's life was no longer in danger.

After this Kenta began to speak proudly "Sorin you have broken free of Keldar's will, with this you can call yourself a warrior, I trust that you will come with me to kill Uzunami after all I'm gonna need that technique even if I'm not the one using it".

Sorin responded as his body filled up with a sense of achievement and new found freedom "yeah I will come but only because that is my choice but what of Keldar?, you know he isn't pleased about me leaving the Musenshi".

Kenta responded with certainty in his voice "Keldar is only an ally for now, when the time comes that our alliance shatters then me and my brother will have to sever ties with him".

Sorin now struck with thoughts he wish he didn't think as his mind thinks of the choice he must make between his friends and family and his newly found freedom.

But the young warrior knew that for now at least he must focus on what is ahead of him and his new ally within the Solitude of advisors, so he pushes away all of his worries to the side for now.

During Sorin's struggle to battle against the thoughts in his mind Kenta had already began to head towards the capital, leaving Sorin behind standing in the distance.

After about thirty minutes of constant travelling, the two warriors had reached the solitude they had once fled. While Kenta had remained with unshaken confidence, Sorin was trembling as his confidence had began to tear away, this effect began as soon as the elder's threatening aura was present.

But as they entered through the recently opened behemoth gates, Kenta placed his hand firmly but also kindly onto Sorin's back. This act gave Sorin a new sense of confidence knowing that the brutal warrior was by his side. The news of the warrior's return to the capital soon travelled through the solitude travelling all the way to the Musenshi members Dagrin and Kurin.

These two warriors have been ordered by the Kiren elder to challenge Sorin to see his new growth, with this order in mind Dagrin and Kurin soon left to find the young warrior Sorin.

The returning warriors were just three miles short of the elder's pillar, but they had met up with the Musenshi, the opposing warriors' hostile intentions were clear to all but Sorin, sensing this Kenta pulled the novice away from the approaching dagger on chain thrown by Dagrin.

After nearly being struck by a person in who he called a friend Sorin's eyes filled with sorrow and his mind became filled with questions, but before he could ask why Kurin spoke full of anger "isn't it obvious Sorin?, you left us you betrayed us after all we did for you, don't forget we took you in when you were abandoned".

Chapter8.1: Abandonment

"What is he talking about Sorin", Kenta asked with worry of the situation they are now in.

Sorin was hesitant to answer and before he had any chance too Dagrin spoke for him saying "we will tell you brutal warrior", Kurin took over for Dagrin without hesitation, almost as if he's happy to tell Sorin's story "sixteen years ago which is when the young warrior known as Sorin was born but his saddened parents was expecting twins...".

Sorin allowed the people who once thought to his friends to tell his torturous past, as he just stands dormant in silence.

Dagrin continued Kurin's words, but this time even he seemed to have regret in what he had to say "Sorin is said to have killed his twin brother who was named Tamin inside the womb, Sorin's title is the cursed twin".

Kenta soon rose to say with force "don't be so pathetic to blame a unborn child for a natural death, I see that you two also have invisible chains enslaving you to Kray".

The brutal warrior followed these words by placing his palm gently onto Sorin's chest, with this he spoke softly "don't worry your not a curse Sorin the real curse is the Kiren known as Kray, I'll handle this".

The members of Musenshi present soon began to target Sorin who stood paralysed by the reawakening of his past, but Kenta blocked both of their attacks with ease.

Kenta's face soon began to show just how furious he was, which installed new fear into Kurin who reacted to it by activating the technique limb amplification to challenge Kenta's immeasurable strength.

This was soon met with Kenta's curse mark being activated and with it the entering of the form imperial times one, tinting his skin scarlet red and doubling his physical attributes.

Kurin soon took his challenge straight towards Kenta but as Kurin's charged with his meteorite scythe in hand, he was soon put to a halt by Kenta stomping on the ground with all his might, causing the terrain in which they stood upon to rumble.

This allowed the brutal warrior to unhand Kurin's scythe from the now unbalanced warrior, while also throwing it with his full physical power, causing it to land directly in the base of the elder's pillar.

With Kurin's assault distracting Kenta, Dagrin took this chance to attack the trembling Sorin.

As he threw his dagger on chain with all his might, causing it to tear straight through Sorin's right thigh and with this Dagrin began to pull him into the rough ground.

Dagrin soon spoke while being full of sadness "I liked you Sorin I really did after all we've known each other for a long time now but you brought this upon yourself, if we don't do this Kray will only do something worse to you".

The warrior twin Kenta soon caught sight of Dagrin's attack and with this he activated his technique blood rush, allowing him to instantly hit Dagrin with a dominant fist, the attack had connected directly with Dagrin's jaw, which would of sent him into the far distance but Kenta had taken hold of Dagrin's chain and both warriors refused to let go.

This resulted in the chain snapping which also resulted in Dagrin being smashed against one of the civilians houses, causing Dagrin to be knocked unconscious and covered in rubble.

The young warrior still remains broken and injured, left completely shutdown, which leaves Kurin and Kenta to face off one on one, but before the final fight could commence another unexpected Kiren arrived.

The new Kiren had his face covered by a jet black cloak and his aura hidden from all and the only signs of who he was was the chilling intentions that oozed out of his Olympian god like body.

But even with his face hidden it's clear to Kenta that this is Kray and with this realisation Kenta immediately took his attention away from Kurin and gave it all to the supposedly Kray.

After this Kray granted Kenta the luxury of hearing him speak, as he says gently "my greetings brutal warrior, you have no need to worry I am only here to see who could take Sorin away from our clutches".

Kurin immediately fell into a state of horror at hearing Kray speak, this state was the exact same dormant sleep Sorin had taken and still remained in.

Kenta took a step forwards and spoke his voice gradually becoming more powerful "yes I am the one who gave Sorin his freedom, the same freedom you stole and it was done when he was just a child, your a Demon among Demons Kray".

Kray had soon found himself enthralled by Kenta, as he was one of the few to actually talk back to him without any sign of fear.

So with this Kray sprawled his arms out and spoke the words that will kill Sorin's soul "I grant you this Kenta you are fearless which is why I will reward you with this information about our young friend Sorin, his parents are still alive and well but they abandoned him at his birth place and now both of them rest in my care".

Hearing these words gave the young novice enough emotional power to overcome his horrific coma, which came as a surprise to all.

Kenta now with Sorin standing by his side spoke with anger and sadness resting deep in his voice "once I've killed Uzunami I will return for you Kray... I promise you that".

Kray soon disappeared not speaking another word and once he had left the chills he gave Kurin, left almost immediately.

And with Kray's sudden absence the conflict between the Musenshi members and their former ally Sorin had ended.

But after this came a long deafening silence which was only broken when Kenta declared "I have trained Sorin which leaves only one part of our alliance to be completed before we take our leave to System seventeen, so take us to the elder's pillar".

Dagrin suddenly awakening makes his presence known as he explodes out of the rubble but his demand was soon diminished.

As Kurin began to say "fine Dagrin you go rest your wounds while I take these two to collect that Zeon prisoner".

Chapter8.2: Departure

A few minutes later and the brutal warrior and Sorin were soon following behind Kurin who lead the way towards the elder's pillar.

But as they drew closer to their destination Kenta felt a sudden shocking in both his head and heart and this feeling grew more intense the closer they became.

This feeling continued to grow and torment the fearless Kenta until they reached the base of the pillar.

But this journey was not only a way of freeing the Zeon imprisoned but also a way of allowing Sorin to work with the Musenshi one final time.

Even if Sorin was reluctant to do so, but he pulled himself together and forced himself to work with Kurin for his new ally's sake.

This was done as the two former allies placed one palm each over the base of the midnight clay pillar, following this was the infusion of their energy through their arm and sent rippling throughout the structure of the pillar.

This caused the base of the elder's pillar to dissolve gradually revealing the imprisoned beast inside.

The starvation Kibar suffered had forced his body to almost completely shut down, which means the only sense that Kibar now has is his energy sense and all movement has been suspended.

But once the uncontrollable beast was completely revealed his appearance struck Kenta with a immense mix of emotions, as both Zeons hastily come to realise that they are family, and even more so father and son.

Kibar being malnourished was not able to bring himself to greet his thought to be dead father.

While Kenta had sadness and pure joy well up inside overwhelming both his heart and soul, and one more emotion came to him as thoughts of his other sons surviving too.

That emotion was hope which also urged the words to come out of Kenta's mouth "Kibar I know that it's you..., I thought you were dead I don't know how you survived but I'm so grateful that you did, as for your mother Asha I think it's best to tell you that she's passed as for how,... your mother was killed by the Kronen god Uzunami".

This had filled the joyful Kibar with sorrow and despair as the hope he had gained of a family was soon crushed, and he soon came to realise that he had been serving his mother's killer for most of his life.

Kurin spoke with a hateful tone "I had no idea that this beast was your son Kenta, does the Kiren elder know about this?".

Kenta grew worried of another encounter with the Musenshi and answered Kurin "no not even I knew that my lost son was alive and here of all places but now that I do".

But before Kenta could finish his sentence Kurin spoke with demand and hostility "before I can let you leave brutal warrior I must inform the Kiren elder of this news so your so called son stays inside imprisoned for now".

Kenta spoke once more this time with not a answer but a threat "do not underestimate what a father will do for his child especially in this situation, Sorin please take my son away from here".

After hearing Kenta's request Sorin lunged himself into the pitch black room without doubt, Sorin now takes hold of Kibar, forcefully dragging Kibar onto his back.

Kurin shouted as he began to take hold of his meteorite scythe which was held just above the entrance of the sealing room which is thanks to Kenta's previous actions, "you think I will just let you take him away Sorin, I never wanted to let any of you you leave alive anyway so thank you for giving me a good reason to break this cursed alliance".

Kenta's every action remained silent but filled with rage while he entered the form known as imperial three but there was a major difference as this time his rage meter was near its limit.

Kenta's body had not only under gone the transformation of imperial three but all quadrupled in both size and strength.

This was all done as he roared with crazed levels of rage "do you really think I would just let you imprison my own son you bastard!".

After hearing Kenta's roar of anger Kurin immediately turned around but it was already too late...

As Kurin was hit with a birage fists, each one stunning his body and sending him into a constant shock of agony.

This was only made worse as the brutal warrior made his next move the release known as divine fist, which had hit straight into Kurin's face at the speed of a bullet, crippling the Kiren warrior's mind.

Now with Kurin essentially brain dead Kenta looked down on him and said "you feared and hated my race but you had no reason too so let me give you a reason".

A few minutes later and Sorin was traumatised at Kenta's monstrosity of a act.

Kenta stood on top of mountain but this mountain was man made by Kenta, with the foundation being the slaughtered citizens of the towns surrounding the elder's pillar.

This included every single one of the Kiren, not excluding any gender or age who lived within twenty miles of the elder's pillar.

The area was now painted in blood and the screams of the dead still filled the heads of those very few who lived.

The massacre only came to an end when the brutal warrior released a animalistic scream and after came the words "this is not enough of a punishment for your people Keldar, you imprisoned my son and even if you didn't know your Musenshi tried to keep him contained even after knowing so blame them for this disaster not me".

Kenta looked down upon his feet and whispered "your all in the way now your protecting the person who cause all of your deaths".

After the animal known as the brutal warrior had spoken he raised his arm into the air and used the move divine fist: hammer down, which divided the mountain of corpses in two showering Kenta in blood.

Kenta soon raised his head to look upon the trail of blood which lead straight to the crippled Kurin, who sat there waiting for his imminent death.

The voice of Kray was then heard by Sorin as he spoke calmly "that is what time had in store for us all, that is if I had let all of this play out but as you can see the Musenshi member known as Kurin never tried to contain Kibar".

Kray showed Sorin this as he dropped Kurin's severed head to the floor of the sealing room, which was followed by Kenta avoiding Kray and taking hold of Kibar and pulling him onto his back.

Kray spoke with warning as he said "I warn you Kenta I have seen all of your future and it doesn't go on for much longer then this, your death is catching up with you brutal warrior".

After hearing Kray's words of warning Kenta and Sorin took their leave of planet Kirnon with Kibar resting on top of the brutal warrior's back.
