Chapter9: Arrival on Earth

After journeying the vastness of space the group of warriors which included the warrior twin Kenta, the young warrior Sorin and the injured beast Kibar, reached System seventeen and furthermore planet Earth.

But the group could not rest nor relax as they were instantly met with aggression.

Which came from the Zeon named Hikaru after he made an appearance from Earth's atmosphere.

Although Hikaru recognised Kibar's aura, as of seeing him he realised that the hulking monster he fought against before is no longer threat.

That being said there was still two warriors who still stood in front of Hikaru and one took his attention, this person is Kenta.

Hikaru spoke "what is your intentions for coming to Earth?, are you apart of the Red empire?, I'm assuming you are since you carry that wounded animal on your back".

Kenta answered with a gentle voice while also holding zero hostility towards Hikaru "you're a Zeon aren't you, so what powers of the curse mark do you know of?, and to answer your question neither of us are apart of the empire and as for my wounded son he is in my care... so forgive him for his past".

Sorin who was standing idly by received Kibar from Kenta who said hastily "since this Zeon won't answer my question I'll find out my own way, so Sorin take care of my son for now will you?".

Without giving time for anyone to respond the brutal warrior threw a weak punch towards Hikaru who dodged the attack with ease.

Following this was Hikaru's entrance into the form known as acceleration aura, his aura now appearing in a constant rush of energy.

While also making Hikaru's muscles to tighten by twenty five percent and also cause a dramatic increase in his speed.

With this new speed Hikaru countered against Kenta by colliding a punch against his face, thanks to Hikaru's new compact size and speed Kenta had no choice but to take the hit.

Thanks to his unwillingness to dodge the brutal warrior managed to resist the shock of the hit and only received the damage.

Kenta asked in a rush "I'm not aware of that speed being achievable through the curse mark, so tell me how do you have such incredible speed?".

While Kenta asked this he also was preparing a release of energy, this was divine fist: bullet speed.

Hikaru gave a answer, as he gripped tightly onto the lightening mark on his right arm "I'm also not sure how I can do this, not even Shirogane or your son over there could use this form either but I do know it comes from this mark on my arm".

At the mention of Shirogane's name the build up of energy in Kenta's arm was quickly cancelled, allowing the energy to disperse back into his body.

Following this was Kenta who spoke calmly while lowering his guard "it seems my youngest is also alive but I'll have to meet with him later, so warrior what's your name?".

Hikaru answered while hesitantly lowering his guard "it's Hikaru though that is almost all i can tell you about me".

Kenta responds while signalling for Sorin to come over to them "yes it seems that all of the fractured Zeons seem to know very little about themselves, something which us elders will have to fix".

Now with Sorin standing beside him Kenta continues his sentence "so lets start to teach you all once I've met with the leader of Earth".

Hikaru's guard rises but only slightly as he becomes hesitant to take the brute who stands before him to Torino.

Kenta realises this and says with understanding "if you know my objective you might be more willing to trust me, if you want to hear it we can talk on Earth's surface somewhere I become no threat to you or Earth".

Hikaru begins to glare straight past Sorin and takes his sights just over his shoulder which brings his vision to the malnourished beast Kibar.

While Hikaru does this he also speaks the words "you know it would've of been a lot easier to trust you if you hadn't brought him along, but I guess if you were from the empire you would of already knew that".

So with these words in mind Hikaru begins to descend towards the planet Earth with the newly arrived warriors following behind.

After this descent came the long hours of Hikaru's distrust which caused them to take multiple detours, so instead of what should of been minutes took a few long hours to reach Hikaru's shelter held in the outskirts, the lawless zone outside of Earth's major cities.

Now that the group had reached Earth's surface it was time for Kenta to discuss his objective with Hikaru, forcing them both to leave the shelter.

Which also means Kenta must take his protection away from his son, even if it was just for a few moments this caused worry in the mind of the brutal warrior.

Hikaru took Kenta to a mountain top just above his shelter where the views were clear but no other structure was in sight.

The two warriors now alone were able to freely speak their minds, which Kenta did as he spoke, his voice demanded the attention of those who heard him "I wish to kill the three Kronen gods well specifically I wish to gain revenge against one of them, that person is named Uzunami the Red emperor".

Hikaru stood in silence allowing the shock to hit him, with the impact of that shock came the realisation that he may have gained a new ally against the Red empire and a powerful one at that.

Kenta continued his words by saying "Uzunami is one of the many reasons for my planet's destruction but more importantly he is the reason for the death of my loved one, the mother to my three boys".

Hikaru says while his body struggles to take a powerful stance "so that's why you came to Earth, as it's one of the closest planets to the Red empire?".

The brutal warrior stood in silence as he stared into the daylight sky looking upon the clouds, until he spoke his next words "yes but finding my once thought to be dead son and now meeting with you, who mentioned Shirogane I also now hope to find my twin sons".

Hikaru responds to Kenta his voice carrying across his worries "I'm not allied with your son as of this moment but that doesn't mean I'm against Shirogane, we just share a very complicated history but we now share a enemy that enemy is the same as yours, so I will help with both of your goals at least until Uzunami has took his sights away from Earth".

And with this statement made by Hikaru an alliance was forged between him and Kenta, adding to the rebellion against the Red empire.

Their conversation now over and the alliance forged the two warriors return to the base of the mountain to find Sorin cornered...

This was by a group of bandits at least fifteen strong in numbers, usually the young warrior Sorin would have no problem with such weak Humans but he had to protect Kibar.

At the first sight of this Hikaru sent his energy into a rapid stream of infusion but was stopped almost immediately by Kenta who had already made his move.

Kenta's opening move was made when he placed his hand on top of one the bandit's heads in which he whispered threateningly "that's my friend and son your trying to attack there".

The group of bandits who appeared threatening and deadly soon fell to the sandy terrain at least all but one did...

The who was left standing was forced to stand by Kenta's grip but was also forced to his knees by Kenta's forceful aura at the same time.

This had forced the skull of the bandit to shatter into two pieces, leaving the top piece completely intact held in Kenta's grasp.

But as for the other half of the skull that was completely shattered across the sand and the corpse...

That dropped on top of the bandits who fell closest to Kenta's feet, installing a new level of dread and fear to the Humans who were once fearless.

Hikaru drew his eyes to meet with Sorin who was left unshaken by Kenta's brutality, with this Hikaru soon realised that Kenta's kind words were only a mask to hide that he was truly a beast at heart just like his son.

While Hikaru was coming to this conclusion, Kenta was unforgiving as he mercilessly slaughtered all of the bandits, leaving behind only their disfigured corpses.

Kenta with his face freshly washed of the blood, after making his return from the disposal of the bandits says "I will meet with your leader and warriors once my son has been fed and regained his strength".

Hikaru soon spoke against this "you have your friend here to take care of your son, why not meet with Torino now after all we don't have much longer before the empire gathers enough forces to enslave Earth".

Kenta gave his response with a open mind "I'll meet you in the middle you go and find this Torino and take him here and we'll talk until then I stay with my son".

Hikaru begins to walk while he answers Kenta "it may take a while for me to bring him down here".

Kenta speaks with zero aggression but also no kindness "I'll be here for a while since my son needs time to heal, so just bring him here before then".

With this discussion now over Hikaru takes his leave with haste.

Leaving his shelter behind in the care of Kenta, his new ally.

Chapter9.1: Earth's warriors

Just a few minutes after Hikaru had taken his absence of the shelter, he appeared at Torino's temple.

The white marble pillars now remade with not a single grain of dirt on them, it looked as if Earth had never suffered an attack from the empire.

But as the Zeon took his steps towards the temple he was met with expected hostility.

This aggression came from Hati who still bares distrust in Hikaru but this hostility was not just his distrust but also the worry he felt at Shirogane's absence.

Hikaru shrugged Hati's aggression off and walked straight past him as if he was invisible.

But this only angered Hati causing him to shout "hey you really think your welcome to come and go from this place?".

But just as Hati raised his arm up above his head to form a release he was stopped by Ono who had sent word for master Torino.

Hati pulled his arm away from Ono and said "so what were supposed to be friends with someone who we once fought against?".

Ono gave slight notice to this and said "we don't have much choice Hati with Shirogane gone now we have to find allies in unexpected places".

After Ono's statement came Torino who stepped next to the pillars of the temple.

Remaining in silence Torino awaited to hear Hikaru's reasons for coming.

With this Hikaru struck his first sentence with demand "Torino... a Zeon warrior has arrived on Earth and I know he's even stronger then the ones who took Shirogane away, he wishes to be a ally of Earth but only if you meet with him in the outskirts".

While Hikaru was speaking Torino had sat himself down upon the steps which lead to the temple.

Once Hikaru finished his sentence Torino immediately gave his answer which was guided by the loss of his son, "so you say he is stronger then the ones who took my son away from us, if that is the case I have no choice but to plead for his aid against this Red empire".

After this Hati shoved past Ono who agreed strongly with the master's response.

With Hati's expected response Torino sighed and spoke once again "don't mind Hati after all Shirogane is like a brother to him".

Hikaru spoke this time he spoke his mind "I'm not your friend so I don't care how Hati feels about me, i just know that being your ally is necessary to defeat the Red empire".

Torino continued his words without care for what Hikaru just said "we should take our leave to the meeting place immediately, Ono I trust you to look after the temple in my absence".

After the master Torino had spoken Ono left, his attitude strong leaving zero worries with Torino.

Hikaru soon took hold of Torino and said "it would be quicker if I carried you there myself".

Which after he spoke Hikaru picked Torino up into his arms as if he was being cradled.

This allowed Hikaru to carry him out into the far distance eventually arriving at his shelter.

Hikaru had stopped just short of his shelter placing Torino down, Hikaru gave his warning swiftly to Torino as he said "be careful there is a few things you don't know about him".

Following this was a hurricane of energy as Kenta appeared from the curtain covering the entrance to Hikaru's shelter.

The distance between the mountain in which Hikaru and Torino stood upon was cleared in a instant by Kenta.

With his arrival Kenta soon spoke "so your Earth's leader?, I'll admit I thought you would be stronger after meeting Hikaru".

Hikaru didn't make or give any response to Kenta, allowing Torino to say "I may not be as strong as you Zeons but I know that I can teach the next generation better then any other on Earth".

The brutal warrior responded by saying "you have my respect Human, Torino is it?, you seem to know what your doing, you understand that the future is what is important after all if we don't pass on what we have learnt what is the point in learning".

Torino's stands in silence as Kenta continues to say while looking off into the far distance "I will use Earth as a home base while I destroy the Red empire and ultimately kill Uzunami, the only reason I asked to meet you is so that you can care for my son who needs care and time to heal".

These words allowed Hikaru's worries to rise to the surface, making an appearance on his face.

Master Torino no longer remains silent and asks "your son?".

Kenta says with no aggression while also keeping his dominant pressure "yes my son, he has been starved and still requires a safe place to rest, so while I fight the Red empire I expect you to take care of him".

Master Torino turned around to face Hikaru and spoke in a rush "tell me is this what you were warning me of?, who is his son Hikaru".

Hikaru who is usually calm and collected at all times even when in the rush of battle was drenched in anxiety.

While Hikaru was hesitant to answer Kenta answered for him without caution he said "my son's name is Kibar and yes he is the Zeon who committed the first attack against Earth in the Red empire's name".

Torino stood in silence his mind filled with many different responses but an emotion conquered them all, that emotion was the fear...

The fear caused by Hikaru's broken spirit.

Eventually hammering down his fear Torino began to speak his first words which were quieter then a whisper "Kenta was your name, the Zeon who you call your son also claimed he was the elder brother of my kidnapped son Shirogane so what does that make you to my boy?".

While his confidence and rage had began to grow with each word spoken Kenta responded "Shirogane is one of my youngest sons and i intend to teach him how to fight while using his curse properly once we meet again".

With Kenta's response came zero surprise to Torino who feared this answer but with this his decision was made for him.

So with that Master Torino began to say "you leave me no choice after all i aim to give Shirogane the best i can and that means allowing him to train with you, so ill care for your malnourished son in hopes of building a strong alliance between us".

Kenta answered Torino hastily but also sure of each word he spoke "thank you, I promise I'll kill Uzunami which will bring an end to all our problems caused by the Red empire".

The brutal warrior soon raised his hand hoping to create and finalise the alliance between him and the Humans.

This act was met by master Torino doing the same and with that came the new alliance.

This alliance also cleared all of Hikaru's worries and fears of Kenta.

Torino soon asked to see Kibar which was agreed, after this the group which consisted of master Torino, Kenta, Hikaru, Kibar and Sorin soon left Earth's outskirts and made their return to the temple.

With the groups arrival soon came hostility from two of Torino's students, the students were Okami and Hati.

But their threats soon turned silent when the brutal warrior revealed his indomitable aura.

Following their submission came master Torino's words which were "for the next few months the people among me will be able to come and go from the temple while also using our resources when needed, if anyone goes against this alliance you will be permanently removed from the temple by myself".

This speech was soon followed by Torino's whisper which said "as we cannot afford to break this alliance".

Chapter9.2: The future of Sasine

A month has passed since Kenta's alliance was forged with Torino, during this time the beast known as Kibar has began to make his recovery but has lost the fight to gain any trust from the Humans.

But with zero problems made from any of the newly arrived warriors Kenta has gained the full trust of master Torino, and with this comes the greatest secret known by very few even among members of the temple.

This had brought the two warriors to stand on the temple steps looking into the direction of the outskirts.

A silence which was thought never to be broken was finally shattered by a few words said by Torino these words were "Shirogane has a son".

With the shock and happiness hitting Kenta hard forcing him down to his knees.

The shaken brute struggled to say "so where is my grandson?".

Standing strong master Torino gave Kenta a answer "you have to understand that Tenso is a highly guarded secret only known by those who share a deep history with Shirogane himself, the only reason you were told this is because you're Shirogane's farther".

Hearing these words overwhelmed Kenta but he powered through allowing him to stand whilst saying "take me to meet him".

With those words spoken by Kenta, the two allies journeyed to the far parts of the lawless area.

This was to make their arrival at a small house with a natural look and feel to it, it appeared to be a cottage.

Kenta spoke while remaining still and calm "so this is it?, the structure in which my grandson calls home".

Suddenly after those words, came a young child barging past Kenta's legs, this was no other then Tenso Kenta's grandson.

Tenso who still believes himself to be weak sprinted as fast as he could to his home, away from the approaching bandits.

But the bandits suddenly disappeared from sight...

No one knows what exactly happened to them but there is no lying that they all had a idea, Kenta had protected his future.

Another person soon appeared to greet her frightened son, this person is Tenso's mother and Shirogane's wife Khira.

Her appearance was that of a slender yet muscular young woman, with battle scars covering her face distracting from her beauty and showing all that she has earned her title as a warrior.

Torino gave a answer to Kenta's previous question saying "yes this is the place in which Tenso and his mother stay, they both have a mark on their bodies but I know nothing of your race".

Kenta responded "so the reason you brought me here was to train him and maybe even his mother how to use their curse?, well that's my plan anyway so once I've met Shirogane I'll train them all then".

Kenta soon turned around facing away from the cottage and says "I leave the future of my family in your hands master Torino".

With those words spoken the brutal warrior took his leave of Earth, without speaking a single word to Tenso or Khira.

Khira took her stride towards master Torino and questioned him "so who was he?".

The response left Khira in shock as she fell to her knees and cried out with happiness and hope.

The response that was given by master Torino told Khira that her husband Shirogane is alive and should be well...
