Chapter 026
Old Generation Clash
Kenzo steps into the house and looks at Kingsman stopping him from moving and he walks over next to Kingsman and he looks at Akita and says
“Good morning Akita'' Kingsman while stuck in place still has his mouth open and he’s able to say
“Run!” Akita tries to run but Kenzo taps her on the back of her spine stopping her in place and she falls forward but Kenzo catches her and sits her in a chair and she’s unable to move her legs and Akita is *scared* and says
“W-What’s going on Kenzo?” Kingsman says
“Ak–” But Kenzo flicks the bottom of his jaw closing his mouth fully and says
“Lord Kingsman here, decided to attack me before he left my library and I told him I would drown him in a barrel in the lake. Now come with me my Lord'' Kenzo puts Kingsman on his shoulder and walks him outside and puts him in a barrel next to the doorway and picks up the barrel and Akita is able to stand again but as she’s about to come out of the door Kenzo says
“Have a good day Akita” He jumps into the air and Akita runs upstairs.
At the same time Kenzo lands in the middle of the village and as he’s walking towards the gate but he hears someone call to him from behind and as he turns around he sees Saigo with a slink on his arm and Gyomei standing there and Kenzo says
“Hello General, Saigo” Gyomei says
“What’s going on Kenzo, who’s in the barrel?” Kenzo looks up and sees Kingsman legs sticking out of the barrel and says
“Nothing just–” But then a large bolt of lightning comes down behind him and a voice from behind him says
“Let go of our Sensei, you old bastard!" Kenzo turns around and sees Dai,Riku and Kenji standing there but Itsuki is on the ground holding his head and Saigo is *shocked* and says
“Kingsman’s in the barrel!?” Itsuki stands up while holding his head and says
“Riku…Get him!” But as Riku puts his hand up, Kenzo snaps and it’s sends out a deafeningly loud sound and everyone holds her ears in pain and Kenzo stomps on the ground with a large shock wave that knocks everyone to the ground and Kenzo says
“I’m sorry, but I made a promise to my lord to drown him in the lake for what he did” Kenzo walks past all of them and outside of the village and he walks to the right and through a small group of trees he comes to a large lake with a small island in the middle and as Kenzo is standing at the edge of the water he tosses the barrel to the side and jumps up into the air as Kaito goes flying underneath him and as Kenzo lands back on the ground he sees Kaito is standing on the water and Kenzo says
“It’s been a long time my Lord'' Kaito says
“What are you doing to my brother!?” Kenzo says
“Me and Lord Kingsman have unfinished business, so if you’ll please excuse us” Kenzo walks over to the barrel but as he’s about to pick it up an Icy Sun Flame blast flies past his face and he says
“My lord please don’t do this again, I don’t wish to hurt you as well” Kaito says
“I’m ready” Kaito drops into the water and the ground starts to shake until the ground split opens and multiple Icy Sun Flames come from the opening in the ground and Kenzo dodges all of them but Kaito appears behind Kenzo and tries to punch him but Kenzo dodges the punch and kicks him in the stomach making Kaito slide back but as Kenzo turned around Kaito’s Icy Sun Flames are burning so bright around him it blinds Kenzo to the point where he can’t even look in the direction of Kaito and Kaito says
“What are you going to do now Kenzo?” Kaito rushes Kenzo and Kaito starts punching Kenzo pushing him back and Kenzo jumps into the air and he can slightly see Kaito in between his flames but Kaito burns his flames even hotter again blinding Kenzo and as Kenzo landed on the ground he closes his eyes and Kaito rushes Kenzo but Kenzo’s able to deflect all of Kaito’s strikes until Kenzo catches Kaito’s hand and slams his open palm into Kaito’s chest with such force it knocks the wind out of Kaito dropping him to his knees and Kaito’s Icy Sun Flames dims and Kaito looks up and notices Kenzo is opening his eyes and Kaito starts to burn his Icy Sun Flames extremely hot and brighter but all of his flames stop in there place and Kaito cannot move at all and Kenzo says
“I told you my lord, I didn’t want to do this” Kenzo walks over to Kingsman and picks back up the barrel and takes a step towards the lake but the ground cracks underneath him and as he looks down a Icy Sun Flame blast comes from out of the ground and it flies right by Kenzo face blinding him and Kenzo drops to his knees and holds his eyes in pain and then he starts hearing Kingsman *laughing* and says
“What’s wrong Kenzo? Can't focus, you should have known you can’t stop me” Kaito stands up and absorbs his flames and says
“Now, lets try this a third time” Kingsman pulls himself out of the barrel and he walks towards Kenzo but suddenly he hears
“Sensei, you’re all right!” Kingsman turns around and sees Itsuki,Dai,Kenji,Riku,Gyomei, and Saigo but Kingsman says
“Itsuki, there’s no time for happiness we’re about to fight” Kenzo stands up but he doesn’t open his eyes and says
“My lord I made you a promise, and I intend on keeping it” Dai steps in front of everyone and says
“I won’t let you!” Kingsman says
“No, this time all of you really stay out of it” Kingsman and Kaito both rush Kenzo but Kenzo is able to perfectly dodge all of their strikes and Kingsman *laughs* and says
“Still as fast as ever Kenzo!” Kaito says
“Too damn fast!” Kenzo ducks both of there strikes and punches them both in the stomach launching them back and they both land hard on the ground and while holding his stomach in pain Kingsman starts *laughing* and says
“Damn...Kenzo!” Kingsman slowly gets back to his feet and says
“ Too bad we’re not done yet though” Kingsman rushes Kenzo and they clash fist and they share a *smile* and they both start perfectly clash fist with each other until Kingsman dodges both of Kenzo's strikes and punches him in the stomach and Kingsman picks Kenzo up and slams him into the ground and Kingsman jumps back and *laughs* and says
"Maybe Dai, was right about you. Your just an old man now" Kenzo slowly gets to his feet and Kingsman *smiles* as Kenzo looks at him still with his eyes closed and Kingsman and Kenzo slowly walk towards each other but they walk past each other and stop, Kingsman *laughs* and says
"You going to be original or you just going to keep copying me" Kenzo says
"Who do you think taught you how to do it" They both turn around and throw punches towards each other but both of them dodge there punches and they *smile at each other* and they both start throwing punches but they both dodge each others strikes and everyone is *shocked* and Riku says
"Wow, they can't touch each other at all" Kenji says
"So this is the true strength of fathers old Sensei" Dai says
"I can still beat him" Riku *sighs* but as he turns towards Dai he sees Itsuki's intensely watching Kingsman and Kenzo and Riku notices his ligthning is wrapped around his hand as he's clenching his fist extremely tight and Riku turns back to see Kingsman and Kenzo still perfectly dodging each others strikes until Kenzo grabs both of Kingsman’s wrist but Kenzo lets go of one of his wrist and snaps with a deafening sound that drops everyone to their knees holding there ears and Kingsman screams in pain and Kenzo knees Kingsman in the stomach and throws him into the air and Kenzo appears above Kingsman and knees Kingsman in the back sending him slamming into the ground and Kingsman slowly gets back to his feet but Kenzo punches Kingsman in the face launching him back and Kingsman lands hard on the ground once again and Itsuki rushes over to Kingsman and says
“Sensei, are you ok?” Kingsman *laughs* and says
“Just need a few seconds...To recoup” Dai starts walking towards Kenzo but Itsuki turns around and grabs his arm and says
“Sensei said we don’t fight him!” Dai says
“Who else is going to do it?” Kingsman says
“Itsuki...I’m continuing on you to finish this battle” Itsuki turns around and says
“Yes Sensei!” Itsuki let’s go of Dai’s arm and summons his sword and walks towards Kenzo but Dai runs past him and says
“He’s mine!” Dai activates his fire gauntlets and tries to hit Kenzo but Kenzo dodges all of his strikes with ease and he raises his fist to punch Dai but he suddenly jumps back out of the way of Itsuki’s slash and Itsuki says
“Did you not see what he did to Sensei and Kaito! You can’t beat him with pure strength alone, we need a plan. Follow my lead” Itsuki absorbs his sword and summons his lightning bow and starts firing arrows at Kenzo and Kenzo is able to dodge them but Dai rushes behind Kenzo and catches the arrows and covers them in fire and he starts throwing them back at Kenzo but he's able to dodge them and Itsuki absorbs his bow and catches the arrows and starts throwing them back but as he touches the arrows the surge with more and more of his lightning and as they touch Dai's hand they surge with more and more of his fire and they start throwing them back and forth between them but Kenzo is still able to dodge them with ease until Dai and Itsuki speed up and one of the arrows grazes Kenzo’s cheek and Itsuki and Dai keep throwing the arrows but Kenzo still dodging the arrows and starts walking towards Itsuki and as he gets into Itsuki's face he lifts his hand to punch him but suddenly Kenzo starts getting pulled backwards and all of the arrows are pulled backwards as Kenzo turns around he opens his eyes and sees a force field of wind and he slams his feet into the ground keeping him anchored to the ground but suddenly Itsuki punches him in the face knocking him off of his feet allowing the force field to pull him inside and as he's inside the force field it reverses keeping Kenzo pressed down but he's still able to dodge all the arrows and Itsuki looks over and Riku says
"Shoot more arrows!" Itsuki summons his bows but he surges with lightning and Itsuki fires hundreds of arrows into the sky and Dai surges with fire and he throws a giant fireball into the air and as the arrows fall through the fire ball they all erupt into flames and Riku amplifies the force field pulling all of the arrows into them and Kenzo able to dodge most of them but suddenly chains wrap around his arms and legs, all of the arrows fly towards Kenzo but suddenly the entire force field freezes stopping all the arrows right before they hit Kenzo all over his body and Riku says
“Itsuki, do it!” Itsuki says
“Won’t the explosion be too much for your force field?” Riku says
“I’ll handle it!” Itsuki says
“All right” Itsuki puts his hand up and all the arrows start surging with his lightning and they all explodes surging with fire and lightning almost destroying Riku's force field but Riku's able to use his wind to contain the explosion back inside of the force field kicking up extremely large amount of smoke and as the smoke clears they see Kenzo on the ground and Dai *laughs* and says
“I knew I wouldn’t lose” Kingsman and Kaito both get back to there feet and Dai walks up to Kingsman and says
“At this point I’m ready to fight you now Sensei, I’ve beat monster who you fight daily and now I’ve beat your old Sensei” Kingsman *laughs* and points behind Dai and says
“You might want to look again” All of them turn around they see Kenzo slowly standing back up and him and Kingsman lock eyes but neither of them move and Riku looks at Kingsman and says
“Did he use his ability on Sensei again?” Itsuki says
“No, look under Kenzo’s feet. Sensei has him trapped” Riku looks down and sees there a pool of darkness underneath Kenzo's feet and says
“And the pool won’t activate until Sensei realizes it, so they're locked in a stalemate” Dai says
“I’ll fix that” Kenji says
“Dai no!” Dai rushes up and activates his fire gauntlet, and he says
"This is for last time you old bastard!" Dai punches Kenzo in the face, launching him in the air and he jumps into the air but before anyone can react they are all stopped in place and Kingsman says
“Damn it, Dai!” Dai falls out of the sky and slams into the ground and as Kenzo lands back on the ground, he says
“Now let’s get this finished my lord” Kenzo picks Kingsman up and puts him back in the barrel and he throws him into the lake and the barrel sinks into the water, after a few seconds of Kingsman in the water everyone else is able to move and Itsuki rushes over and jumps into the water and pulls the barrel out of the water with Kingsman in it and he pulls the barrel apart destroying it and Kingsman sits up and *coughs up water* and Kenzo says
“I thought you could hold your breath for hours underwater” Kingsman says
“I can, but only when I can close my MOUTH!” Kingsman spits water on the ground and Gyomei and Saigo are both standing in the back *laughing* and Kingsman rushes them and hits them both in the stomach dropping them to their knees and Kingsman drags them both to the edge of the water and puts their faces inside drowning them and he pulls their heads out and says
“Is it still funny!?” Kingsman drops their heads back underwater and Kaito says
“Saigo can’t get his slink wet Kingsman!'' Kingsman pulls them both out and throws them back and Kingsman says
“And now that you can walk again Saigo, I intend on training you” Saigo *coughs up water* and says
“What!?” Kingsman walks up to Saigo and crouches down and grabs his shoulder and they both disappear and Gyomei stands up and is *shocked* and says
“What the hell is Kingsman doing!?” Kaito *chuckles* and says
“Looks like Kingsman is going to train Saigo” Kenzo *laughs* and says
“I have a feeling Kingsman’s training is going to be a bit harder than usual” Gyomei says
“Damn it!” Gyomei turns to run off but Kenzo says
“There’s no point of running when this one can teleport” Kenzo points at Itsuki and everyone circles around Itsuki and Itsuki thinks
“This is too many people...Hopefully I can handle it” Itsuki puts his hand up and calls down lightning.
At the same time, Two mysterious men are sitting on the roof of a building and One of them says
“She said she wants him back” The Other One says
“I guess it’s time we go get him then” The First One says
“He was a pest, but if that’s what she wants then I guess we’ll have to do it”
At the same time All of them land in Kingsman’s backyard but as they land Itsuki falls onto the ground and Kenji checks on him but everyone looks at the house in *shock* as they see it’s wrapped in Kingsman darkness and Kaito slowly walks up to the house and puts his hand up near the darkness and says
“It feels hot, like it’s fire” But Gyomei runs up and punches the house but his fist bounces off of the darkness and Gyomei starts punching the darkness relentlessly and Kenzo sits on the ground and says
“There’s no point, you’re not getting in unless Kingsman wants you in. I remember when he did this to a old broken down house, I believe it was his old home” Kaito says
“That’s right! He didn’t come out for almost a month” Akita walks up the hill and is *shocked* as she sees everyone standing in the backyard and says
“Oh, I didn't expect all of you to be here. I just got enough dumplings for me and Kingsman” As she’s talking she walks up to the house and opens the back door and walks in as if she isn’t affected by the darkness surrounding the house and everyone expect Kenzo and Kaito are *shocked* and Akita turns around and says
“Would you all like me to make something?” Riku stands up and walks towards the house and he walks into the house passing through the darkness with ease and Itsuki stands up and holds his head and walks into the house as well but as Dai walks into the darkness he’s stopped and Dai says
Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
“What the hell!?” Dai starts punching at the darkness and Kenji stands up and also tries to walk in but he’s stopped as well and Kenji says
“What did I do!?” Kaito and Kenzo *laugh with each other* and Gyomei says
“How are we going to get Saigo out of there?” Kenzo says
“You can’t” Kaito says
“Well there’s a chance you could. But are you willing to put your body on the line?” Gyomei says
“What is it?” Kaito says
“Are you sure?” Gyomei says
“I need to get Saigo out of there, I’ll do whatever it takes!'' Kaito says
“All right, since Kingsman only lets the people he wants inside there’s only one option. You have to try and attack Akita” Gyomei is *shocked* says
“What!?” Kaito says
“I’ve never seen someone try and attack Akita who Kingsman didn’t appear out of thin air and kill, and since Akita can pass through the darkness she’s your only option” Gyomei says
“What about the little girl?” Everyone goes silent and stares at Gyomei and Kaito is *shocked* and says
“You mean… Hana?” Gyomei says
“Yeah, I could just scare her” Kaito says
“You don’t understand what you’re risking by even thinking that, with Akita, Kingsman may just beat you. But if you even look at Hana with bad intentions, Kingsman won’t kill you. He’ll inflict the worst and most unthinkable kinds of torture on you for years. This is not me speaking in possibility this has already happened, if you really value your life you’ll never let that thought pass through your mind again” Gyomei says
“I’m sorry my lord, I didn’t mean to upset you I would never have hurt her” Kaito says
“You did not upset me, whether you meant to hurt her or not. The things I’ve seen Kingsman do to people for less is the reason I’m telling you this is not an idea you need to think again” Gyomei says
“I understand my–” But as he turns around and looks back at the house he notices the darkness on the house condenses and he can no longer see through the darkness as the house becomes a black void but suddenly he sees Kingsman and Saigo inside the darkness wrapped around the house and Kingsman punches Saigo sending him flying and Kingsman turns and looks at Gyomei and Gyomei *freezes in fear* as Kingsman walks out from the darkness and walks towards Gyomei but as Gyomei looks around he realizes that everyone else isn't moving at all and as Kingsman makes it up to Gyomei and grabs his shoulder.
They locks eyes and Gyomei starts to *shake in fear* as Kingsman’s darkness is behind him casting shadows that runs past Gyomei and Kingsman says
“I’m sorry, I must have misheard you. Who did you say?” Gyomei with a shaky voice, says
“I…I…Um…No one” Kingsman says
“Are you sure I thought I heard you clear say something earlier?” Gyomei, still with a shaky voice, says
“I–I said…W–We should use Kenji to lure you out to save Saigo” Kingsman grabs Gyomei face and says
“You wouldn’t lie to me, would you Gyomei?” Gyomei says
“No my lord!” Kingsman says
“Good!” Kingsman lets go of his face and turns back around and Saigo runs up to the darkness and starts banging on it from the inside of it and Kingsman walks up to the darkness and steps back inside of it and as he’s walking deeper into the darkness he reaches back and pulls Saigo by the back of his shirt dragging him deeper into the darkness and as he sees Saigo being dragged away he can finally starts to hear Kaito screaming his name and he turns around *shocked* by Kaito grabbing his shoulder and he turns to look at Kaito and Kaito says
“You alright Gyomei?” Gyomei doesn’t say anything but as he turns back around everything is back to normal and he can see through the darkness into the open back door and he says
“You didn’t see that?” Kaito says
“See what?” Kenzo says
“I think it’s best if we just all sit down and relax” Gyomei says
“Yeah…Ok” Gyomei sits on the ground and thinks
“I must have imagined all of it–” Suddenly a drop of blood falls from the small cut on his cheek and he’s *shocked*
At the same time Kingsman is dragging Saigo across his endless beautiful oasis by his collar but Saigo starts taking off his shirt and Kingsman trips him and grabs him by his leg and continues dragging him and Saigo is *exhausted* and says
“I’m sorry…Just let me go already!” Kingsman says
“Not yet” Saigo tries to shake Kingsman’s grip loose but he can’t and Kingsman says
“Just one more fight” Saigo says
“We’ve killed like thirty already!” Kingsman says
“One more won’t kill you” Saigo says
“Yes it will, I can barely stand” Kingsman throws Saigo by his leg towards A Creature and it tries to punch Saigo but he’s able to dodge it and he lands on the ground and The Creature rushes up to Saigo but Saigo dodges The Creatures attacks and Kingsman says
“Come on Saigo don’t you want to be big and strong like you’re all might Lord” Saigo says
“I don’t want to be anything like you” Kingsman says
“That’s why your weak now” As Saigo dodges another strike he catches The Creatures wrist and kicks it in the stomach twice and then he lets go of its wrist and uppercuts it sending The Creature into the air but Saigo grabs it’s leg and pulls it down and punches it in the chest slamming it down into the ground and he tries to stomp it but The Creature catches his foot and kicks out his other one and Saigo falls forward but it grabs his throat and slams him into the ground and it starts throwing punches at Saigo and he’s only block with one of his arm but it’s so fast he can’t dodge the strikes and Kingsman walks up next to them and crouches down and says
“I could help if you like” Saigo says
“Get this thing off of me!” Kingsman says
“Say it!” Saigo says
“Damn it! Please help me oh Mighty Lord!” Kingsman *laughs* and grabs Saigo’s arm that’s in the slink and Saigo says
“What are you–” Kingsman pops Saigo’s arm back in place and Saigo screams in pain but as The Creature tries to hit him he catches it’s wrist and as it tries to swing with the other arm Saigo also catches it’s other wrist and then Saigo headbutts The Creature and then he kicks it off of him and Saigo stands up and realizes he can fully use his arm again and Saigo says
“Now it’s time to show you the real power of Saigo!” Saigo rushes The Creature and hits it twice in the stomach and then across the face sending it flying and Saigo is *smiling* and rushes The Creature again and grabs it by the neck and tosses it in the air and starts hitting it multiple times with such speed it can’t even move and as it falls back on the ground it can barely move and Saigo stomps it head smashing it and Kingsman *laughs* and says
“Seems like you’re back to your old self. Hell you seem even better than your old self” Saigo says
“I’ve never felt like this before, it feels like a fire is burning hot inside of me” Saigo looks around and says
“Now that I’m not about to be murder I can actually admit that this place is actually quite beautiful” Kingsman says
“Good, we’ll be ready to handle everything in no time. Next time i’ll have you fight one of the more advanced ones as a matter of fact–” Suddenly a giant roar rings out across the oasis.
At the same time Kaito and Kenzo are sitting down talking and Kenji and Dai are laying on the ground sleeping and Gyomei is pacing back and forth but suddenly the darkness on the house starts fading away until it disappears and everyone looks up in *shock* Dai and Kenji both sit up and Kaito says
“I guess they're finally done” But suddenly the backdoor flies open and Kingsman comes flying out of the door bloody and Dai gets up and rushes over to him and says
“Sensei!” Kenji rushes over and says
“Father, what happened!?” But then Itsuki and Riku are both thrown out of the house and land next to Kingsman's body with black rods stuck all through them and Kenzo stands up and says
“No!” Kaito is *shocked* and says
“What the hell happened!?” But then the ground starts to shake and as everyone looks up they see A Giant disfigured Creature walking out of the backdoor holding Saigo's lifeless body by his neck and Gyomei screams
“SAIGO!” Kenzo stops Gyomei before he rushes at The Creature and says
“That thing killed Kingsman,Itsuki,and Riku, you rushing it blindly will only get you killed” Kenji backs away from Kingsman but Dai steps in front of Kingsman and his fire amplifies and Dai says
"I'll kill you!" The Creature walks up to Dai but Dai doesn't move and The Creature throws a punch but a Ice wall appears in front of him but it's destroyed launching Dai backwards and Dai lands on the ground and he gets back to his feet and he takes a step towards but Kenji grab Dai's arm and Dai says
"Get off of me!" Kenji says
"Stop Dai, you can't beat that thing!" Dai says
"That thing just killed our father, you think I'm just going to let it get away with it" But The Creature grabs Kingsman lifeless body and two more arms come out of its sides and grabs both Itsuki and Riku by their necks and The Creature covers them all in darkness and The Creature starts to shape into the form of a man and Dai says
“What the hell is it doing?” Kenzo is *shocked* and says
“It’s absorbing them and fusing all of them together!” As The Creature fully transforms into a man he has four arms it’s two primary arms are holding Kingsman and Itsuki blades and the bottom two have Riku’s wind on them Kenji says
“No,NO! We can’t beat that, if it’s all of them fused together we can not stop that!” Kaito says
“Your not wrong, I have no faith that we can win this battle. No matter how badly I want revenge, I can do nothing” Kenji is *shocked* and says
“Wait, but you and Kenzo have been able to stand against my father before. I know Gyomei can do something” Kenzo says
“No one has ever fought Kingsman when he was going all out with no remorse, if we take this battle there’s no guarantee that some of us won’t die” Kaito says
“But even though we’ve never fought him like that we still have people to protect” Gyomei says
“That thing killed Saigo, let’s kill it already!” Kenzo activates his Icy Sun Flames around his hands and says
“Be ready for the worst fight of your lives” Kenzo, Kaito and Gyomei rushes The Creature but it's able to dodge all of your attacks and The Creature uses Riku’s wind to choke Kenzo and Gyomei, holding them in the air with it's wind and It starts blocking all of Kaito’s strikes but then The Creature throws both swords into the air and catches Kaito’s wrist and knees him in the stomach and It let's go of both of Kaito's wrist and slams both It's fist down on Kaito's shoulders dropping him to the floor and It kicks Kaito away and The Creature uses It's wind to throw Kenzo and Gyomei towards Kaito and they all slowly make it back to there feet but The Creature roars and in a distorted voice, says
“Kneel!” Kenzo says
“Maybe this is a less bloody route” Kenzo kneels and so does Kenji,Gyomei, and Kaito but Dai says
“Hell no, you killed my Sensei!” Dai rushes The Creature and activates his fire gaunlets and he uses
"Flare Fist" But as he punches The Creature in it’s stomach, his arm breaks and Dai screams in pain but Dai lifts his other fist and his flames erupt even hotter but The Creature punches him in the top of his head slamming him into the ground and Kenji looks up in *shock* but as he’s about to get up The Creature in a distorted voice, screams
“I SAID KNEEL!” Kenji falls back to the ground and everyone is kneeling with there head down and then they start hearing *laughing* and as they look up they see The Creature *laughing* and then The Creature splits open and everyone sees Kingsman,Saigo,Riku, and Itsuki standing there *laughing* and Kenji says
“What!?” Kingsman says
“It was a joke” Gyomei gets *angry* and screams
"WHAT KIND OF FUCKING JOKE IS THAT!?" Gyomei rushes Kingsman and throws a punch at him but Saigo catches his fist and Gyomei is *shocked* and says
“Your arm!” Saigo *smiles* and says
“I’m good” Saigo flips Gyomei slamming him into the ground and Saigo says
“Even better than good!” Gyomei *laughs* and Saigo helps Gyomei up and they hug and Kingsman sees Dai on the ground holding his arm and Kingsman walks over and kneels down next to him and says
“Show me your arm” Dai while still in pain, says
“I’m good” Dai tries to get up and Kingsman flicks his head making him fall back to the ground and says
“It wasn’t a question” Dai holds his broken arm out and Kingsman puts his hand on Dai’s arm and his darkness flows from his hand onto Dai’s arm and Dai’s arm snaps back in place and Dai’s arm is healed and everyone is *shocked* and Kaito says
“You can heal people!?” Kingsman says
“More like reverting there bodies, but it’s dangerous” Gyomei says
“Wait if you can heal people, why didn’t you heal Saigo when him and Kenshin first arrived? You could have saved Kenshin!” Kingsman says
“It’s not a healing ability. It’s an ability that allows me to revert your body back to any point in time, but it also puts my darkness into you. A small break like this wouldn’t allow my darkness to take control of his body, but Saigo and Kenshin were on the verge of death. My darkness would have completely consumed them. Kenshin would have been alive, but just not the man you once knew. Kenshin was dead, the man you knew wouldn’t have been the man who came back” Saigo says
“That’s an amazing ability” Kingsman says
“With a big risk” Gyomei says
“Enough of this, why the hell we’re all of you gone for a week!?” Saigo is *shocked* and says
“A week!?” Kingsman says
“Time moves differently inside of my dimension. Really in my dimension time doesn’t exist, but it’s the easiest way for you to understand it” Saigo says
“It felt like we we’re gone for just a couple minutes” Kenji says
“What!? When I was inside of it a few minutes felt like life times” Kingsman says
“It depends on the deeps of my darkness you're in, I can manipulate how time flows inside my dimension. When you get older I might even give you your own dimension” Saigo says
“Everything is starting to feel weird now” Kingsman says
“You’ll get used to it” Dai says
“When are you going to let me inside that place to train?” Kingsman says
“The moment you can handle yourself against me” Dai *smiles* and says
“Are you saying Saigo can handle himself against you?” Kingsman *laughs* and says
“I guess you have a point, but I’ve already seen you fight one of The Creatures I’ve created and you couldn’t really handle yourself to well” Dai says
“I can beat them by myself” Kingsman says
"Ok, if you say so" Kingsman snaps and five portals open up and five creatures fall from the sky and there surrounding Dai and Kingsman until Kingsman jumps back and says
“Go ahead” Dai creates his fire gauntlets and they start to burn so hot the ground around them starts melting and Dai rushes one of them but as he’s about to hit it all of there skins turns blue as he hits one of them in the stomach, it slides back a bit and Dai jumps back to the center of the circle and The Creatures body starts to cover themselves in a blue crystal like substance and Kingsman says
“The only time I have you fight these creatures are when they are weaker and less adaptive making them more vulnerable, but now you’ll have to find a way to beat the ones I fight on a daily basis. You have to kill them quickly, but once you find a way to kill one the other adapts and gets stronger making them harder to kill. Damn near impossible if you're just trying to use strength alone. Now if you truly want to train with me prove to me you can adapt under stress. Now Strike!” Dai rushes another one of The Creatures and punches them but his fist just bounces off of the crystal like substance without even scratching it and he’s *shocked* but then he’s kicked back by The Creature making him rolling back into the middle of the circle Kingsman says
“Your strength and fire have now been countered, what will you do?” Dai screams in *anger* and his fire burns hotter and he rushes The Creature again and starts swinging relentlessly but with every hit he makes his fire hotter until The Creature tries to punch Dai but he dodges and catches The Creatures arm and turns The Creatures arm against it and he smashes The Creatures arm against it cracking the crystal and he hits The Creature with it’s own arm again creating a hole in The Creatures armor and Dai punches through the hole and as he has his arm inside he amplifies his flames inside The Creatures armor causing The Creature to explode destroying the armor and all of The Creatures armor gets thicker and Kingsman *smiles* and says
“Good, now the rest” Dai falls to his knees tired, but he slowly gets back to his feet and he grabs a shard of the crystal and walks over to the creature and slams the crystal shard into another one of The Creature's armor but it barely leaves a scratch on the armor and Dai out of breathe, says
“Damn it!” Dai jumps back and catches his breathe and he just barley is able to get his flames around his fist and weakly throws a punch and he falls backwards onto the ground but Kingsman can see as Dai’s punch flies through the air and passes through the armor of The Creature Kingsman is *shocked* and thinks
“Did he just!?” Kingsman notices The Creature turns red and starts shaking and the armor cracks all around it and Kingsman opens up a giant portal underneath all of The Creatures and as they all fall through a giant explosion shoots through the portal shaking everything and everyone except Kingsman is *shocked* Dai while on the ground says
“I just need a minute…I haven’t eaten in a week” Kingsman *laughs* but Dai says
“Don’t worry Sensei, I’m far from done” Dai slowly makes it back to his feet but Kingsman walks up to him and pokes him in the stomach dropping him to his knees and he says
“Don’t…Do that!” Kingsman says
“How are you going to fight when you can barely function?” Dai says
“I’ll manage” Dai stands back up and Kingsman says
“Are you sure?” Dai says
“Yeah” Kingsman says
“Ok…” Kingsman turns around and walks away from Dai and says
“Who ever is the first to flick Dai in the stomach I will cook them the largest feast you’ve ever seen” Everyone looks at Dai and Dai tries to make a fire he can’t muster the strength and Dai turns around and tries to run but he sees Saigo and Gyomei are behind him and as he looks to his left he sees Itsuki and Kenji there and as he looks to his right he sees Kenzo and Kaito standing there and as they all rush into him there all suddenly pushed away and Dai notices Riku's force field is up around him and as Dai turns around he sees Riku standing behind him and Riku says
“I’m sorry” Dai tries to punch Riku but Riku ducks his punch and elbows Dai in the stomach and Dai falls to the ground holding his stomach in pain and passes out and Kingsman walks up and Riku drops his force field and Kingsman walks up to Dai and picks him up and puts him on his shoulder and Kingsman *laughs* and says
“Let’s go Riku” Kingsman and Riku walk into the back door and as the door opens Riku sees a table full of food and the smell of wakes Dai up and draws everyone in from outside and Kingsman puts Dai down and everyone takes a seat at the table and Kingsman walks by the stairs and says
“Thank the person who made the food before any of you dare take a bite” Kenji,Riku,Dai,and Itsuki says
“Thank you Sensei!” Saigo,Gyomei,and Kaito says
“Thank you Kingsman” Kenzo says
“Thank you my lord” Kingsman says
“Your thanking the wrong person” Akita walks from behind Kingsman and Everyone says
“Thank you Akita” Kingsman pulls Akita to his opposite side away from the stairs and he *whistles* and Tadashi with Hana on his back runs downstairs and Kingsman opens up a portal and he reaches into it and throws him a giant piece of meat and as Tadashi drags the meat next to the table, Kingsman grabs Hana off of her back and sits her in her chair and as Tadashi gets the meat next to the table he waits as Akita and Kingsman walk around the table and sits down and everyone starts eating and as they do Tadashi also starts eating, and everyone is eating, *laughing*, and talking and as everyone finishes there food Kenzo says
“That was amazing Akita, thank you so much” Akita says
“Your welcome Kenzo” Kenzo stands up and Kingsman says
“You’re leaving Kenzo?” Kenzo says
“Yes my lord, I must get back to the library” Kingsman says
“Fine, be safe” All of the kids stand up and says
“Thank you” Kingsman says
“All of you upstairs and sleep, I might have something planned for tomorrow” Everyone goes upstairs and Kingsman says
“I’ll handle the dishes you can go upstairs Akita” Akita *yawns* and says
“Ok, goodnight everyone” Akita goes upstairs and Saigo says
“Now that I'm back how are we going to get rid of Kei?” Kingsman says
“We don’t, we won’t let him know that we know he’s behind this. Not yet at least” Saigo is *shocked* and says
“Why not!? It’s not like we can’t handle them now, we’ll eliminate a threat before they become even more of a problem” Kingsman says
“Gyomei, lift up your shirt” Gyomei lifts up his shirt revealing the orb in his chest and Kingsman says
“This orb apparently has the power of an entire universe inside of it, the man who gave them this orb isn’t here. So it doesn’t matter if we kill Kei and all of the rest of them now if someone else can gain the same power and possibly be even more dangerous and removing our knowledge of the enemy” Gyomei says
“So are we waiting for the man to come back to our world to defeat him?” Kingsman says
“Exactly, Kei and the others are simply pawns in a bigger game they don’t understand. I don’t even think the one they summoned is even fully in control, I think there’s someone even bigger than him” Kaito says
“We’ll find out after we defeat him” Gyomei says
“So how do we proceed?” Kingsman says
“We counter every move they make, we don’t move before. After we’ve gotten them backed into a corner Kei will be forced to summon him again and hopefully he’ll decide to handle it himself” Saigo says
“As long as I get revenge for Kenshin, I don’t care how we do it” Kingsman says
“Don’t worry, we’ll get Minato and Masaru soon enough. I just need you and Gyomei to stay patience” Gyomei says
“We’ll be waiting for our opportunity” Gyomei and Saigo stand up and Kingsman stands up and says
“We should go visit him” Saigo says
“Visit who?” Kingsman says
“Kenshin, it’s been too long. Plus none of you have gotten to say goodbye to him yet” Saigo says
“Where is he?” Kingsman says
“Underneath the only Red Dragon tree in the village” Saigo is *shocked* and says
“Our secret spot! But how did you–” Kingsman says
“Gyomei told me the stories that all of you would share together around the fire. I was hoping all of you would share another story with Kenshin for the final time” Saigo *sheds a tear* and says
“Yeah…We can share one more story with Kenshin” Kingsman says
“Then let’s go”
