Chapter 014
Intellect Vs Strength
At the same time Kingsman has just made it to the bamboo forest and as Kingsman walks through the bamboo something starts quickly moving through the bamboo around him and Kingsman stops as he says
"Come out before I blow up this entire forest" All the noise around him stops as someone slowly walks to the edge of the bamboo and as Akita emerges from the bamboo and Kingsman walks up too her and looks down at her but she doesn't look him in the eyes and he pushes her chin up too look at him in her eyes and she sees his red eyes and Kingsman kisses her as he whispers in her ear
“Illusions don’t work on me, Tahara” Kingsman continues walking on the trail leading out of the bamboo forest and Tahara is *stunned* as she's *blushing*
At the same time Riku lands on a building and he walks over to the edge and he sees Dai on the ground not moving, Gyomei smashed against a wall covered in blood and Itsuki on the stairs not moving and Riku starts *crying* as he *screams in anger* pushing out so much wind that its forms a giant tornado across the entire village and his wind blades appear around his hand and he rushes DaiSuke and stabs him in the back holding him in the air and he pulls one of his blades out of DaiSuke's back and the blade morphs into a gauntlet and Riku punches DaiSuke sending him flying back and crashing into some houses and Riku turns his gauntlet back into a blade and he locks eyes with Ichiro but as Ichiro *smiles* Riku rushes him and starts violently slashing his blades towards Ichiro but Ichiro’s able to dodge most of the slashes and Ichiro flips back as he says
“Your fast, but not–” Suddenly he spits up blood and as he looks down he sees Riku's extended his wind blades stabbing him through the stomach but as he looks up at Riku, Riku extends his other blade stabbing him through the shoulder and Riku is *angry* as he says
“You took away the only people I have left, for that I'll kill you!”
At the same time Kingsman is outside the closed gates of the Yahoku village and Kingsman pulls opens the gate and he walks into the village but as he does all the guards surround him and Hokama hears the commotion and rushes over but he's *shocked* as he sees Kingsman and he thinks
"It's him...It's really Lord Kingsman! I can't believe I truly get to see my idol! Maybe one day I could possibly even become one of his students! Focus, I have to keep up appearances until I can get a moment alone with Lord Kingsman " rushes into Miura office and opens the door and says
“My Lord!” Miura doesn’t even look up at Hokama, he just says
“What is it Hokama?” Hokama says
“Kingsman is here!” Miura is *shocked* and he rushes out of his office and outside to where Kingsman is surrounded and Miura *smiles* as he says
“Kingsman, what a pleasant surprise! What brings you to the village?” Kingsman says
“I'm just passing through on my way to the Fujiwara region” Miura is *shocked*and says
“Well since you’ve come to the village, how about we have some sake for old times sake” Kingsman says
“I’ll pass, I’ve had enough sake to fill me up for a month” Hokama steps in front of Miura and says
“I heard you we’re a strong warrior, let’s test that!” Kingsman *laughs* as he says
“Your heart is almost beating out of your chest when you said that. You don’t want fight me, you want to look tough” Hokama says
“You think I'm scared of you, your all talk! You’ve never faced an opponent like me before” Kingsman says
“You’re right, I’ve never faced someone who couldn’t at least keep there heart in check while speaking to me. But I tell you what, since you want to fight I’ll only use one finger. Sound fair?” Hokama says
“I’ll make you regret that!” Hokama rushes at Kingsman and throws a punch but it stops an inch from Kingsman's face and as Hokama looks down, he sees Kingsman hand through his chest and he can feel Kingsman's finger on his heart, stopping it from beating and he slowly looks Kingsman in his eyes as he notices there red and Kingsman *smiles* as he says
“Game!” Kingsman raises his opposite hand and flicks him on the head sending him flying back and landing on the ground in front of Miura and Miura looks down and is *shocked* as he says
“Hokama! Hokama, wake up!” Hokama is unresponsive and unmoving as Miura looks at Kingsman and says
"W-" But Hokama suddenly sits up and starts coughing trying to catch his breath and Hokama looks at his chest but he doesn't see a hole in it and he thinks
"I knew he was strong, but this is on a completely different level. He doesn't even see me as a threat and he beat me without trying, the gap between us is truly great. But I promise you my lord I will close it!" Kingsman says
“Anybody else wish to fight?” Miura says
“My entire army will fight you!” Miura puts his hand up and the rooftops are filled with his soldiers and Kingsman says
“How about I create a copy of all of them and then fuse it into one using there shadows? That’ll be better!” Miura is *confused* as he says
“You can do what!?” Kingsman covers his hand in darkness and he puts his hand into the air and the shadows of all the guards fly towards him and fuse creating one shadow man and Kingsman says
“All right now one of you step up and test out the skills of him” But everyone is in *shock* and no one moves and Kingsman says
“So I have to give you all incentive” Kingsman puts his darkness on his hand and pulls his sword out of his hand and black slash appears on all of there necks and Kingsman points his sword at Miura and says
“Now, someone step up!” Two warriors jump down and one of them steps behind the shadow man and the other warriors steps in front of it but as they both move there hands the shadow moves before they even swing causing them to clash fist but then the shadow grabs both of the men by there necks and it hits there presses points knocking them both out and it drops them to the floor and Kingsman says
“Look at that, now you have someone to fight who knows all of your techniques and fighting styles. It should be fun for all of you” Miura says
"What the hell are all of you waiting for? Attack!" More warriors drop down and rush the shadow but none of them are able to touch the shadow at all and It keeps knocking all of them and Miura is *shocked* as he sees the bodies of his soldiers piling up and after a short while every warriors except Hokama of the Yahoku village are knocked out and Miura is *shocked* as he sees the shadow standing on top of the piles of bodies it had caused and Kingsman says
“Miura, are we done here?” Miura looks at Kingsman but then the shadow drops down behind Kingsman and Miura says nothing and Kingsman says
“All right then” Kingsman turns around and punches the shadow through the chest and it falls on the ground and turns into a pool of darkness and all of the shadows fly out of the pool of darkness and reattach to everyone and Miura is *shocked* as he says
“How did you beat it with a single punch?” Kingsman says
“None of your warriors are anywhere near my skill, so killing a collection of all of them was easy. But now I also hold all knowledge on all of them about their techniques, fighting styles, strengths, weakness, anything they’ve ever learned I now know and can perfectly counter it. Even their darkest secrets” Hokama slowly stands up as he says
“You truly are the most powerful warrior in the world” Hokama kneels to Kingsman and Kingsman says
“I know who you are Hokama, I’ve also heard about your ability to turn peoples power against them and have it attack there bodies. Your an impressive warrior, when I come back to the village I’ll make sure we train together. I sense your very powerful but you don’t know how to use your power to its full extent. Unless you would not like to train along side me?" Hokama says
"No! Of course I wish to train along side you my lord, it would be an honor" Kingsman says
"Good, but as of right now I have to go” Kingsman walks over to the dock and stands on the edge and Miura runs over to Kingsman as he says
“Sorry Kingsman, we don’t have any ships left” Kingsman says
“Don’t need one” Kingsman jumps onto the water but instead of sinking he stands on top of it and Miura is *shocked* and says
“What the hell!? How are you doing that?” Kingsman says
“If you believe in yourself you can stay on top of the water, try it” Miura is *nervous* as he says
“I can’t!” Kingsman says
“Quit being a baby, come on” Miura sits on the dock and slowly starts to slide into the water but Kingsman pulls him down and he sinks in the water and Kingsman starts *laughing* and walks towards the Fujiwara region and Miura is *screaming* and flailing in the water and Hokama is standing on the dock and is watching Kingsman walking away and Miura starts to sinking in the water and Hokama notices and grabs Miura and pulls him out and Miura *coughs up water* and looks at Kingsman walking away and Miura says
“Damn it, this won’t end well”
At the same time Ichiro falls to one knee and spits up blood and Riku slowly walks up to Ichiro and as Riku gets right up to Ichiro, Ichiro looks up at Riku and says
"Do it!" Riku raises his wind blade and is about to stab Ichiro in the heart but Kenji *coughs* as he *weakly* says
“Riku!” Riku is *shocked* and turns around as he says
“Kenji!” Riku runs over to Kenji and uses his wind to cut the post holding Kenji down and Riku catches Kenji and sits him down and notices that the veins are only on Kenji’s lower body and Riku says
“We came to save you but everyone else is—” But Dai *groans in pain* and slowly gets up as he says
“Damn it!” Riku is *shocked* and says
“Dai!” But Itsuki pulls himself up off the stairs and Riku *smiles* and says
“All of you are alive…But that means-” Riku looks at his hands and sees the blood and his hands starts shaking uncontrollably and falls to his knees as he says
“I’m no better than them!” Riku starts *crying* as he says
“I'm sorry!” Itsuki says
“Riku?” But Riku doesn’t respond or look at him and Gyomei stands up and looks over and sees DaiSuke in a destroyed building and Ichiro on one knee bleeding in the street and says
“Both of them are down we have to go now, everyone let’s go!” Dai looks over at Kenji and says
“Hey, you're not dead. Good” Kenji *laughs softly* and *weakly* says
“You look like your dead, trying to talk about me” Itsuki walks over and grabs Riku’s shoulder but he doesn’t react and Kenji *weakly* says
“Behind you!” Itsuki,Dai and Gyomei turn around and see Shiro crouched down looking at Ichiro and Takumi is staring at them and Shiro stands up and says
“Well, they seem to be quite capable. You might not have to hold back Takumi'' Gyomei steps in front of Itsuki and Dai and says
“Dai, Itsuki grab Kenji and Riku and run!” Dai says
“You think–” Gyomei says
“Dai, do not argue with me right now! There on a completely different level than any of you are ready for, now go!” Dai says
“Fine” Dai runs over and picks up Kenji and Itsuki picks up Riku, Dai says
"Run where? Those dumbasses are blocking the street" Gyomei says
"Take the roofs!" They both jump onto the roof of the buildings and they start running across the rooftops but as they get to the building passing Takumi and Shiro on the street, Shiro says
“Takumi!” Takumi punches the building there on destroying and trapping them underneath the debris of the building and Gyomei rushes Takumi and punches him but it doesn’t affect him at all and Takumi looks at Gyomei and says
“That’s it?” He punches Gyomei in his stomach as he grabs his face and slams him into the ground and he stands on him and says
“I wasn’t even able to use half my power Shiro'' Shiro says
“There are still others, under the debris” Takumi says
“Hmm, let’s see if they’ll do better” Takumi steps off of Gyomei and walks towards the debris and he punches the air with so much force that it destroys the houses next to them and the debris flies off of Dai,Kenji,Itsuki,and Riku and Shiro says
“Takumi, don't destroy our village” Takumi says
“They weren’t going to get out themselves and I want to fight" Itsuki looks around and sees the damage Takumi has done and thinks
“What monstrous strength!” Kenji *weakly* says
“Gyomei!” Dai stands up and says
“I knew I shouldn’t have tried to run!” Dai creates his flaming gauntlets and Takumi turns around and walks back to Gyomei but as he tries to put his foot on Gyomei’s neck, Gyomei disappears and appears behind Takumi and Takumi *smiles* as he says
“Still have some fight in you I see” Takumi turns around and punches but Gyomei catches his fist and punches him in the stomach and Takumi holds his stomach and backs up in *shock* and says
“I felt that, I really felt that!” Takumi rushes Gyomei but Gyomei dodges all of Takumi’s strike but then Gyomei grabs him by the throat and punches him across the face launching him and Takumi lands hard on the ground and Shiro says
“I know your not going to let him defeat you like this, are you brother?” Takumi gets off the ground and screams in anger and rushes Gyomei but this time they start clashing punches until Gyomei ducks his strikes and slides behind him and grabs him by the stomach and slams him into the ground and Gyomei stands up and punches Takumi in the face pushing him deeper into the ground and he turns around and walks towards Shiro but Takumi pulls himself out of the ground and rushes Gyomei and Gyomei turns to punch him but Takumi screams again but then his entire body explodes destroying the ground leaving a creator and Shiro floats over and looks into the creator and sees Takumi standing as Gyomei’s on the ground in front of him and Takumi picks up Gyomei by his neck and jumps out of the creator and says
“All of you listen, if all of you fail to give me a good challenge like him then you die. So who’s first?” Dai rushes Takumi and Takumi drops Gyomei on the ground and says
“Come, if you truly think you're strong enough, hit me!” Dai hits Takumi in the stomach with his fire gauntlet and Takumi says
“That one lacks power, but it stings more than the last one'' Takumi tries to punch Dai but Dai dodges it and hits Takumi in the stomach twice then across the face but Takumi *laughs* and punchs Dai in the face sending him flying back and landing on the ground and Takumi says
“Damn, I had so much hope for that one. But I guess your just we–” He’s interrupted by a fire blast that pushes him back a step but then a barrage of fire fist blast come at him and they start to push him back and then Dai rushes up and punches him in the stomach and Takumi is *shocked* by the strength of Dai's punch and Dai keeps hitting him in the stomach and then uppercuts him but then Takumi headbutts Dai and Dai starts to fall back but then Dai headbutts Takumi right back and Dai tries to punch Takumi in the face but Takumi catches his wrist and then he grabs Dai's other wrist and holds him in place and says
“You were definitely funnier than the others, but you still can’t beat me” Takumi headbutts him again and knees him in the stomach as he slams him into the ground and says
“Had you fought me in a few years I think you might have had a chance” Takumi raises his foot but Itsuki hits punches Takumi across the face with his lightning making Takumi stumble back and wrapping Takumi in his lightning and while being electrified says
“S-Sneaky...Bastard!" Itsuki picks up Dai and says
“Follow my lead Dai!” Dai says
“Just don’t get in my way” Takumi shakes off Itsuki’s lightning and Itsuki and Dai rushes Takumi but they start circling him and Takumi tries to punch them but he can't hit either of them and they both start continuously striking Takumi from all sides but Takumi stomps the ground knocking Dai and Itsuki over and Takumi grabs both of them by there necks and lifts them and says
“Well the two of you are certainly something, but the game stops now!” Takumi starts choking them both and they both try and shake free but they can't and both of there elements start surging all over them and they start to burn and electrify Takumi but Takumi doesn't let go of them but Takumi is suddenly frozen solid and Kenji walks from behind Takumi and he reaches for Itsuki but all the veins reemerge and cover Kenji's body and Kenji passes out but Dai and Itsuki both shake out of Takumi’s hands and Itsuki runs over to Kenji and says
“Kenji…Thank you!” Itsuki stands up and says
“Dai now’s our time to run you get Gyomei, I’ll get Riku and Kenji” But as Itsuki turns around DaiSuke is standing there and grabs him by his neck and Ichiro is also choking Dai and Shiro slowly walks over to Takumi and says
“That was an amazing display of power and even a good trick you pulled on Takumi” Shiro is looking Takumi up and down and says
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
“That boys ice is very impressive but I don’t think Takumi will think the same” Shiro punches the ice shattering it around Takumi and as Takumi is freed he is *angry* and he says
“You pathetic little shit!” Itsuki is being choked he looks over and sees Riku still catatonic and says
“R-Riku…Please help!” That snaps Riku out of his daze and he turns around and rushes Takumi and kicks him using his wind to push him back and then he creates another force field and he uses his wind to pull Itsuki,Dai,Gyomei and Kenji inside of it and when they are inside he redirects it to keep everyone else away and it pushes Shiro,Ichiro,and Daisuke away but Takumi starts walking towards the force field even through the wind and Riku tries to push Takumi away but can't and Takumi throws a barrage of punches at it and its cracking but he jumps into the air and then he covers his hand in lightning but suddenly he’s hit by his ship knocking him out of the air and sending him flying off and everyone looks up in *shock* as a voice from behind Riku and says
"Good job Riku, this force field is very strong” Riku turns around and sees Kingsman and is *shocked* and says
“Sensei, your here!” Ichiro is *shocked* and says
“Kingsman is here!” Shiro says
“That lying bastard said he would give us three days, that was a few hours!” Suddenly an explosion comes from behind them and as they turn around they see Takumi is *pissed* and says
“So not only did you destroy my ship, but you think you can walk into my village and disrespect me!” Shiro backs up and says
“Kill them quickly” Itsuki is *confused* as he says
“Sensei, how are you here?” Kingsman says
“Riku called me, but right now I want you all to be ready to run when Riku drops this force field” Dai says
“I’m not going anywhere!” Kingsman says
“Dai, you can’t fight them anymore” Dai stands up and says
“Like hell I can’t, Sensei I won’t run again. No matter what!” Kingsman says
“You sure about this Dai?” Dai says
“There’s not a chance I walk away Sensei” Itsuki stands up and says
“I’m not leaving either, I won’t abandon you Sensei” Kingsman says
“All right then” Kingsman picks up Gyomei by his shirt and grabs his nose for a few seconds and then Gyomei wakes back up and Kingsman says
“Gyomei get Riku and the boy out of this village" Gyomei while catching his breath is *shocked* and says
“Kingsman, what are you doing here?” Kingsman says
“That’s not important right now, I need you to take Riku and the bo–” Kingsman looks down at Kenji and is *stunned* and he lets go of Gyomei and crutches down next to Kenji and touches the veins on Kenji's face and Gyomei says
“Kingsman, im sorry he was fi–” But Gyomei is interrupted by Kingsman *laughing* and picking Kenji up and says
“My son, you truly have pushed yourself to the limit to protect the people you care about” Kingsman hands Kenji to Gyomei and says
“Gyomei, I’m trusting you to get them to safety” Gyomei says
“Ok, I’ll get them all to safety I promise” Kingsman says
“Everyone ready?” Everyone says
“Yes!” Riku drops the force field and immediately Gyomei jumps onto the roof of the houses with Kenji and Riku and runs off and Shiro tries to fly at Gyomei and Riku but Kingsman kicks him out of the air launching him into buildings and now Kingsman, Itsuki, and Dai are standing in the face of Ichiro, Daisuke and Takumi and Kingsman says
“It’s been so long since I’ve seen all of you” Ichiro says
“You know your not allowed into our region Kingsman, your breaking the peace treaty” Kingsman says
“The only way people will know is if any of you survive” Takumi says
“Enough talk!” Takumi tries to punch Kingsman but it stops an inch in front of Kingsman face because Kingsman is grabbing Takumi by his face and then he pushes Takumi into the debris of the houses he destroyed and says
“The men are talking, be quiet! Now Dai you’ll be fighting Ichiro and Itsuki you’ll be fighting DaiSuke” But Kingsman *sighs* as he says
“I’m going to let you make that horrible decision before I react" Suddenly a Kusarigama chain is wrapped around Kingsman upperbody as a Kyoketu Shoge rope is wrapped around Kingsman lower body with some one holding the blade to Kingsman back and Murata jumps down and puts a katana to Kingsman's throat and says
"Stay away from our lords!" Kingsman looks onto the roof and sees Kurata holding the chain of Kusarigama and he looks behind him and sees Fukuda with his Kyoketsu Shoge blade to his back and Kingsman says
“No! I’ll handle this Itsuki” Kingsman twist his shoulder making Kurata's chain knock Murata’s sword away from his neck and he fully twist around to face Fukuda pulling Kurata off of the roof making him crash into Murata and the Kusarigama lands behind Fukuda and Kingsman turns back around wrapping the chain around Fukuda's neck choking him and as Murata gets back up he grabs his sword but stops as he sees Kingsman leaning forward choking Fukuda with the chain and Kingsman says
“All right, now you can do it” Itsuki hits Murata's katana with lightning destroying it and Dai rushes in front of him and punches him in his stomach with his fire gauntlets sending him flying and Dai turns around and punches towards Fukuda but Kingsman says
“Stop!” Dai stops right before punching Fukuda in his face and Kingsman spins him around taking the chains and rope off himself and putting them both on Fukuda and Kingsman says
“I think these weapons would be good for all of you, here Itsuki you take the Kyoketsu and Dai you take the Kusarigama” Kingsman takes them both from around Fukuda and then he backhands Fukuda away and hands the Kyoketsu Shoge to Itsuki and hands the Kusarigama to Dai and says
“Now this should make the fight better and it should help you both with hand eye coordination” Dai says
“I don’t need this” Kingsman says
“But your going to use it” Dai says
“Yes Sensei” Itsuki says
“I’ve never used a weapon like this before, but i’ll see what I can do” Kingsman says
“Now that’s the spirit, now go and beat them” Dai steps up to Ichiro and Itsuki steps up to DaiSuke and Kingsman stares at the debris that Takumi is underneath and Kingsman says
“I’m going to really step away and let you both fight separately, which means if either one of you gets into trouble you handle it yourselves. Understood?” Dai and Itsuki say
“Yes Sensei” Takumi explodes out of the debris and Kingsman says
“Guess it’s time to go to work” Kingsman walks up to Takumi and says
“Let's take this over there" Kingsman points of in a different direction and Takumi says
“I'm not–” But he’s interrupted by Kingsman kicking him in the same direction and Kingsman walks off after Takumi and Itsuki says
“I guess that leaves me and you” DaiSuke *smiles* and says
“Let’s see if you can keep up” Itsuki and DaiSuke jump off into the distance and Dai says
“I’m going to kill you, though I am a bit disappointed I have to fight this weaker version of you. But if you would be fatally wounded by Riku, you don't deserve my full effort” Ichiro *laughs* and says
“You think I'm fatally injured" Ichiro moves his hand and Dai is *shocked* as the hole in his stomach is completely gone and Ichiro says
"I was baiting the other one to try and go for the killing blow so I could kill him quickly, but the sick one got in the way of that" Dai *laughs* and says
"You kill Riku? Give me a break you'll have better luck fighting Itsuki" Ichiro says
"Your cocky for someone who had to be saved twice!" Dai says
"They we're protecting all of you from me, had my Sensei not hit that big bastard with that boat the moment he would have gotten close to the force field I would have killed him. Just like I'm about to do to you" Ichiro *laughs* and says
"Come and try it” Dai rushes Ichiro and tries to slash him with his sickle but Ichiro dodges the slashes and grabs Dai’s wrist and Dai tries to punch Ichiro but he catches his fist and knees Dai in the stomach and starts swinging him in a circle but Dai grabs Ichiro's wrist and is able to get his feet back on the ground and he starts swinging Ichiro around and throws him into a building and Dai walks up to the house with the chain of his Kusarigama dragging behind him but then he pulls the chain and it wraps around his arm and Ichiro steps out of the broken building and says
“Good counter, let’s try this again” Ichiro rushes Dai but Dai is able to block his strikes and Dai ducks his punch and sweeps Ichiro’s legs but as Ichiro's falling Dai punches him in the chest slamming him into the ground and Dai tries to stab Ichiro with the Kusarigama but Ichiro dodges it causing Dai's Kusarigama to get stuck in the ground and Ichiro kicks Dai in the chest sending him flying back and Ichiro stands up but as he does Dai grabs the chain of his Kusarigama and pulls himself back and he punches Ichiro in the stomach sending him flying back and Dai tries to pull his Kusarigama out of the ground but he can’t and as he’s struggling to free it, Ichiro rushes him from behind and punches Dai in the back and he grabs Dai by the back of his neck and slams him into the ground and Dai looks up as Ichiro is standing over him.
At the same time Itsuki is looking DaiSuke up and down as he thinks
"I'll need to really watch his movements, one wrong me and he could drop me instantly" Itsuki *smiles* as he says
“You ready?” DaiSuke says
“I always have to be, now is no different” They rush each other but DaiSuke suddenly appears behind Itsuki and he punches Itsuki in his back and grabs Itsuki by the back of his neck and slams him into the ground and he is about to punch Itsuki, Itsuki calls down lightning right on top of them but DaiSuke disappears and the lightning hits Itsuki and Itsuki stands up and his lightning is surging all over him and DaiSuke is sitting on a roof and says
“Your smart, just not fast enough” Itsuki says
“Your not fast, you just remove yourself from that spot” DaiSuke says
“Is that not speed?” Itsuki says
“No, you’re stopping time and then reacting. Your speed is terrible and your reaction time is mediocre and you use time stopping as a bail out” DaiSuke is *shocked* and says
“I’m surprised you figured it out so fast” DaiSuke drops off the roof and says
“Would you still like to continue this fight with the information you have?” Itsuki says
“My Sensei told me to beat you, so that’s what’s going to happen” Itsuki rolls up his leg sleeve and puts his Kyoketsu Shoge around his ankle.
At the same time Ichiro starts with a barrage of strikes towards Dai but Dai is protected by a wind force field and Dai is *shocked* and he looks on the roof and sees Riku using his wind and then Riku makes chains restraining Ichiro’s wrist and Dai gets up and Riku splits the force field and Dai hits Ichiro with a barrage of strikes in his stomach and then he charges one of his fire gauntlets and punches Ichiro in the stomach making Ichiro fall to his knees and Dai grabs him by his face and slams his face into the ground and punches Ichiro but Ichiro spits up gray liquid on his shirt and Dai is *confused* and looks at the gray liquid and says
"What the hell is this?" But as he looks back down at Ichiro, Ichiro is *smiling* but then he turns into a gray liquid and sinks into the cracks in the ground and Dai is *shocked* and says
“What the hell!?” He hears Ichiro’s voice echo all around him, saying
“Looks like I’ll have to get serious against you” Dai says
“What the hell are you a puddle?” All the gray liquid comes out of the ground and Ichiro reforms and says
“No, I can simply liquefy anything even myself” Dai says
“Liquefy this!” Dai throws a fireball at him and Ichiro *smiles* and says
“Gladly” Ichiro backhands it and it turns into his gray liquid and it adds to him and he thinks
“That’s it, make me stronger!” Dai starts throwing multiple fireballs at him but Ichiro continues to liquify them and they add to him making him bigger and Riku says
“Stop Dai, you’re making him stronger!” Dai rushes him and tries to punch him but Ichiro creates a hole in his chest making Dai fly through it and Dai falls to the ground and Ichiro says
“Are you sure you want to continue this battle?” Dai says
“I’ll never quit because you have some cheap trick” Dai gets back to his feet and rushes Ichiro again but he opens another hole in his chest but as Dai’s flys through him, Dai over charges his fire causing it to explode off of him evaporating half of Ichiro’s body and Ichiro falls to the ground and Dai *smiles* says
“I can’t hit you directly, but I know exactly how to beat you”
At the same time Itsuki summons his sword and DaiSuke says
“What are you plotting?” Itsuki starts spinning the Kyoketsu Shoge around his ankle and he kicks towards DaiSuke but he catches it and Itsuki says
“Now you’re starting to understand” Itsuki slams his foot on the ground snatching it out of DaiSuke’s hand cutting it open and DaiSuke thinks
“This one’s smarter than I expected” Itsuki says
“I hope that didn’t hurt to bad” Itsuki starts swinging the Kyoketsu Shoge and DaiSuke jumps avoiding it but Itsuki throws his sword but DaiSuke stops time and lands on the ground and rushes behind Itsuki but as he restarts time Itsuki pulls his sword back to him and DaiSuke punches Itsuki in his back but his sword phases through him and stabs DaiSuke in the chest but as it’s halfway in DaiSuke stops time and pulls himself off of the sword and jumps back and drops to the ground and time restarts and Itsuki says
“So you can only stop time as fast as you can react, and you need to focus when stopping time. Good, I just need to fully know the extent of your ability” DaiSuke stands up holding his chest and says
“I’ve had enough of you!” DaiSuke stops time and goes behind Itsuki and hits him with a barrage of punches and he jumps back but as he restarts time he falls to the ground as lightning starts surging across his hands and Itsuki falls to the ground and says
“Tried to stop time on me again huh, that won’t work not this time” Itsuki stands up and throws his sword at DaiSuke but he stops time and moves to the side and he falls to the ground again and time restarts but as he looks up he doesn’t see Itsuki and a large bolt of lightning hits him in the back and Itsuki stomps on him from the lightning and Itsuki steps off of DaiSuke’s back and stabs DaiSuke in the chest and says
“We’re done!” And Itsuki turns and walks away but suddenly time stops.
At the same time Ichiro liquefies and goes into the cracks in the ground and Dai says
“Riku I need a force field, but create a vacuum going upward” Riku creates a force field on top of Dai and Ichiro is being pulled out of the ground but he's able to keep most of himself underneath the ground but Dai punches the ground and Ichiro is sucked out of the ground and Dai erupts into fire engulfing the entire force field and Ichiro screams in pain as the fire evaporates most of Ichiro's body and Dai absorbs his fire and Ichiro reforms most of his body but he’s missing an arm and half of his torso and Dai looks at Ichiro on the ground and says
“Looks like we’re done here” Dai wraps the chain of his Kusarigama around Ichiro and Dai sets the chain on fire and Ichiro is screaming in pain and Ichiro slowly starts evaporating and Dai over charges his fire gauntlet and *smiles* but as he swings his fist is stopped in mid air and the force field splits open and Riku walks up to Dai and Dai says
“What the hell are you doing?” Riku says
“He’s already beaten, what are you doing?” Dai says
“Sensei said they have to die, since Sensei came here he broke the peace treaty which means if any of them make it out of here we are going to lose our home” Riku says
“We don’t have to kill them, we can…We can” Dai says
“We can what? It's either them or us Riku, now move!” Riku says
“No, we don't have to kill them. We can find another way” Dai says
“I'm not going to say it again Riku, now MOVE!” But Riku strengths his wind knocking Dai onto his back making his chains fall off of Ichiro and Dai gets up but before he can do anything Itsuki crashes into both of them knocking them over and then DaiSuke walks up and picks up Ichiro and says
“Looks like you lost your fight, and some weight” Ichiro says
“Shut the hell up!” As Dai,Itsuki,and Riku are standing up, Dai says
“What the hell are you doing Itsuki!?” Itsuki says
“You think I wanted to crash into you, idiot!” Riku says
“We don’t have time to start arguing, there not done yet” Ichiro and DaiSuke walk towards them but Riku covers his hands in his wind and slams his hands on the ground kicking up a massive amount of dust all over the place but as the dust clears Riku,Itsuki and Dai are gone and Ichiro and DaiSuke look around but they can't see them until a chain comes from the shadows and it's about to wrap around Ichiro but DaiSuke catches it and DaiSuke yanks on the chain pulling Dai out of the shadows and DaiSuke catches Dai by his neck and helps him above his head as lightning strikes Dai and DaiSuke *laughs* and says
"It's always the ones you trust the most" DaiSuke throws Dai away from him and DaiSuke puts his hand up as another lightning strike comes down from the sky but he catches Itsuki’s punch as Itsuki travels down through his lightning and DaiSuke says
“Trying to travel through your lightning again isnt going to work this time” DaiSuke slams him into the ground and Itsuki stands up and throws another punch but DaiSuke catches and elbows him in the stomach and throws him over his shoulder and Itsuki lands hard on the ground but Itsuki slowly gets back to his feet and he summons his sword and rushes DaiSuke but DaiSuke dodges every slash and catches Itsuki's wrist stopping his sword and punches Itsuki in the stomach knocking all of the wind out of Itsuki and making him drop to the floor and DaiSuke turns around and punches the air destroying a fireball flying at him from behind and DaiSuke sees Dai's back on his feet and he starts walking towards him but Ichiro steps in front of him and says
"No, he's mine" DaiSuke says
"You don't have an arm, or half your torso. If he was able to beat you at one hundred percent, he'd break you down quicker as you are now. Besides with how much you've used your ability im sure you can't replace your arm or you would have already done it. You've over exerted yourself, I'll handle them. Be my eyes" Ichiro says
"Fine, just make this quick" DaiSuke says
"I will, just relax" DaiSuke walks up to Dai and they both swing and clash punches and DaiSuke *smiles* and they start clashing with every punch but Dai is getting pushed back more and more until Dai dodges one of DaiSuke's strikes and uppercuts him and tackles him onto the ground but as Dai lifts his hand up DaiSuke disappears and appears right behind him and DaiSuke says
"You're funnier than the other" DaiSuke grabs Dai by the back of his neck and lifts him into the air but suddenly Ichiro screams in pain from behind DaiSuke and DaiSuke turns around and is *shocked* as he sees Ichiro being electrocuted and he screams
"ICHIRO!" DaiSuke throws Dai away and runs over to Ichiro but as he's running he's forcuily slammed into Ichiro and there stuck together and DaiSuke's able to turn his head and he sees Riku using his wind to keep them together and Dai gets back to his feet and charges a giant fireball and he throws it at them but DaiSuke's able to gets his hand up even through Riku's wind but then he screams in pain and as he looks down he sees his achilles has been cut open but then he's hit by Dai's fireball knocking him and Ichiro over DaiSuke stumbles to his feet but he sees Ichiro not moving and he screams in *anger* and he turns around and hobbles towards Itsuki and Itsuki rushes him but DaiSuke is able to catch both of Itsuki's hand but Itsuki *smiles* and says
"A real warrior can control his emotions" DaiSuke says
"I'll kill you!" Itsuki says
"I'm sorry, but you won't get that opportunity" A giant bolt of lightning falls from the sky down on top of them but before it hits them DaiSuke is able to stop time and he let's go of Itsuki's hand and tries to step back but he realizes he can't and as he looks down at his leg he realizes his and Itsuki's leg are tied together with Itsuki’s Kyoketsu Shoge rope while it's imbued with his lightning and thinks
"No! This is impossible!" DaiSuke turns around and is *shocked* as he sees Itsuki sword stopped in mid air almost pressed against his back but DaiSuke looks past Itsuki's sword and sees Ichiro is back on his feet looking at them with *fear* and he thinks
"I'm sorry Ichiro, I was blinded by my anger and I allowed myself to be outsmarted by a child. But you must-" DaiSuke restarts time and screams
"RUN!" As the lightning smashes against the ground with blinding power it knocks everyone off of the feet but as the smoke clears Ichiro is able to see that only Itsuki is left standing and Ichiro gets to his feet and with tears in his eyes screams
"NO!" Ichiro rushes Itsuki but Dai kicks him through a building onto another street and slowly walks over to him and says
“Were not done yet” Dai tries to stab Ichiro but Ichiro liquidifies and sinks into the ground but Ichiro shoots out of the ground *holding his chest in pain* and *coughing up blood* as he falls to his knees and Ichiro gets to his feet and tries to run but Dai uses his chain to wrap around Ichiro’s feet tripping him and then he wraps the chain fully around him and sets it on fire again and Ichiro starts *screaming in pain* but Dai kicks him and sending him flying until he crashes into a statue of a giant man and Dai says
“Who the hell is this?” Dai holds Ichiro up and punches Ichiro in the face and then removes his chains and wraps it around the statue and says
“Doesn’t matter to me, your coming down!” Dai uses his chain to pull the statue down but as the statue is falling Ichiro stands up and catches it stopping it from hitting the ground and says
“No my lord, I won't let you shatter!” Dai says
“Oh that's the guy you worship. Lets see how strong your faith is” Dai walks away but he sees a Sasumata on the ground and picks it up and then he walks through the destroyed building and sees Itsuki and Riku and Dai screams
“RIKU!” As Riku looks Dai throws the Sasumata pinning Riku to the wall by his neck and then Dai gets in Riku's face and says
“Don’t get in my way again!” Itsuki says
“Dai what the hell are you doing? We’re a team!” Dai says
“He was going to let all of us be killed and have our home taken away. Does that sound like a teammate to you!?” Itsuki is *shocked* and says
“What!?” Dai says
“When Sensei came here he broke the agreement all the regions had with each other meaning if one of them survived and was able to tell people what happened here every region would invade us killing everyone and burning everything down” Itsuki says
“Ok Dai, but you don’t know they would actually do it, it's just an option. They could just take something away from our region” Dai says
“Yes I do, Sensei is seen as the biggest threat to the world and everyone is afraid of him and wants him gone, but all of them know they can’t do it alone and this is their perfect excuse to band together and get rid of him. Plus I’ve seen what happens when one region doesn’t respect the others peace treaty, I’ve seen the blood of the ones I loved spilled, the fire, the carnage and I don’t intend on seeing it again!” Dai walks away towards where Kingsman and Takumi are fighting and Itsuki helps Riku get free from the Sasumata and Riku takes the Sasumata and follows behind Dai
