Chapter 64

Preparation For The Future

As Kenji gets close he jumps into the air and stabs down towards Kingsman but Kingsman leans out of the way causing Kenji to stab his sword into the ground and Kenji starts to pull the sword out of the ground until Kingsman puts his foot on top of Kenji's hand as he kicks Kenji in the chest making him slide back across the ground and Itsuki steps in front of Kingsman as he says

"The people that love us would truly be sad if they knew we fought with these stakes" Kingsman says

“The people that loved me are already dead” Itsuki says

“There are people in this world that still love you, even like this. People can be convinced and reminded of the man you we're” Kingsman says

“You can judge the man you know, but the world will judge the man they know. You cannot change that” Kenji slowly gets to his feet as he says

“After everything I’ve been through and all the people I’ve lost, I won’t let anyone else I care for die! Even if that means you have to die!" Kingsman says

“You were a sheltered child, you haven’t come close to experiencing true loss. I walked through a battlefield filled with people I grew up with and had to fight on top of their dead bodies, I watched as my father killed my mother! The only person who could stop all of us at the same time with her words alone, then I had to kill my brother and my father! Two people who taught me everything I know, after my brother had been gone for two years. I had dreamed of beating him for the first time, and my father a man who I had only landed one punch on both died on the same day. Not only was I haunted by the constant faces of the men that served underneath me, but then two days after everything was supposed to be peaceful everyone I loved was taken away by one man. If you think I’ll let anything this man built remain, you truly are foolish!” Kenji says

“If you think I'll let you destroy everything my father’s built then YOU ARE DELUSIONAL!” Kingsman *laughs* as he says

“Just as stubborn as I used to be, I could truly never see the bigger picture” Kingsman disappears as suddenly Kenji feels his presence behind him and Kenji clenches his fist as he turns around but he stops as he sees Kingsman block a blast that was going to hit him and Kingsman says

“Like it or not I am your father, and just for that I will protect you. But I will not stop my plans” Kenji says

“And I won’t stop mine” Kingsman turn around and faces Kenji as he *smiles* and says

“From this point on I will treat you like any other warrior” Kenji says

“Now you're sounding like my father!” Kenji and Kingsman start relentlessly clashing fist until he catches Kenji's wrist pulling him close as he knees him in the stomach and puts his hands together as he slams his hands down on the back of Kenji's neck sending him slamming into the ground and Kingsman stands over but suddenly a giant hand made out of ice tries to grab him from behind as he jumps into the air and the giant hand covers Kenji as Kingsman lands on the ground and says

"You fight with to much emotion, calm yourself" Kenji surges with ice as he gets to his feet and says

"Don't tell me what to do!" Kenji rushes him and tries to punch him but Kingsman leans out of the way of all his punches until he catches both of his fist and pushes him back as he says

"Only children are ruled by their emotions, keep yours in check" Kenji is *frustrated* as he says

"Stop talking to me and fight!" Kenji's ice covers the ground as hundreds of clones of Ice clones pull themselves out of the ground and rushes towards Kingsman as Kingsman says

"All right, as you wish" Kingsman starts destroying the Ice clones until one of them jumps on his back and starts freezing his back and he reaches back as he pulls the Ice clone off of his back and slams it to the ground and he turns and tries to punch one of the Ice clones but his arms freezes as it stops in place and Kingsman is *shocked* as he looks back and sees Kenji's hand on his shoulder as multiple Ice clones jump onto Kingsman freezing more of him and pulling him to the ground as Kenji jumps into the air and Kenji opens his hands as he creates a giant ice dragon and the ice dragon flies down towards the pile of Ice clones but Kingsman stands up shattering all the Ice clones and Kingsman looks up at the ice dragon as it flies down towards him and more Ice clones rush towards Kingsman but Kingsman grabs one of them by the face as he slams it into all the other clones until he crushes the Ice clone and puts his hand up stopping the Ice dragon as it slightly pushes him into the ground and he *smiles* as he thinks

"I've watched you grow for so long, and I truly am proud of the man you're becoming. I respect your strong minded nature, I'm glad you've truly been strong in these painful moments. Even though the most important people in your lives have all left you, but you cling onto the people that are still there and don't allow yourself to fall into despair because of the ones you've lost. But when you truly open your heart and understand what you've lost, the pain will truly feel unbearable. But I know you're strong enough to handle it" Kingsman closes his hand shattering the Ice dragon as he jumps into the air and grabs Kenji by the neck as he punches him in the stomach and throws him down into the ground and Kingsman lands on the ground as he says

"Your-" Kenji slowly gets back to his feet and holds up his fist as Kingsman is *shocked* and says

"You can stand! You are simply amazing child!" Kenji says

"Stop talking to me...Like your my father, I told you to shut up and fight!" Kenji throws a punch as Kingsman clash with him and says

"I believe in you boy! If I do lose it will be to you!" Kingsman and Kenji start repeatedly clashing fist as Kingsman notices Itsuki out of the corner of his eye not moving as he watches them and Kingsman turns to him as he says

“Fight Itsuki!” Itsuki clenches his sword tightly as his lightning surges all over him and he *smiles* at Kingsman as he suddenly appears behind Isamu and slashes towards Isamu's neck but Jushiro appears next to Itsuki as he flicks his finger towards him launching Itsuki back with such force he slams into the ground and Isamu turns around as he is *shocked* and says

"When did he get behind me!?" Jushiro says

"Don't-" Itsuki starts *laughing* as he flips back to his feet and Itsuki looks at Jushiro as he notices Jushiro is floating above the ground and says

"So your the leader father was talking about, so arrogant you won't even put your feet on the ground. Let’s see how strong you really are!” Itsuki rushes Jushiro and tries to slash Jushiro but Jushito effortlessly dodges all of Itsuki’s slashes until he reaches for Itsuki's face but Itsuki ducks his hand as he stabs his sword into the ground and Itsuki tries to uppercut Jushiro but Jushiro leans out of the way avoiding the punch and Jushiro says

"Are you one of the heirs?" Itsuki *smiles* as he says

"Do I look like I'm here to answer questions!" Itsuki starts quickly swinging towards Jushiro and Jushiro dodges all of his punches as he says

"If you help me, I'll spare your life" Itsuki says

"You think I need your help!" Jushiro catches Itsuki fist as Jushiro looks into Itsuki's eyes and Itsuki is *nervous* as he says

"...Ok" Jushiro lets go of Itsuki's hand as Itsuki sits on the ground and says

"How do I know when I tell you, you won't just leave me here with him?" Jushiro says

"You have my word!" Itsuki stands up as he says

"What would you need from me?" Jushiro says

"For you to allow me to siphon some of your power, and truly show me how to control it" Itsuki says

"If, I was to do it would you also take my brother with us?" Isamu says

"It seems Kingsman is very attached to that one, if Lord Jushiro was to take him we would require he does the same" Itsuki says

"I could convince him, if you promise we'll be safe!" Jushiro says

"When you're with me, no harm shall come to any of you. That I will promise!" Itsuki puts his hand out as he says

"All right then" Jushiro floats down onto the ground as he takes a step forward and shakes Itsuki hand and Itsuki takes a step back as he says

"Before we start, you'll need to have good emotional control!" Itsuki slowly breathes as his lightning calmly surges across him and Jushiro is *amazed* but suddenly lightning shoots through the ground as it wraps around Jushiro's body and Jushiro *screams in pain* as he notices Itsuki sword is pushing the lightning through the ground and Itsuki *smiles* as he says

"You lost control!" Itsuki punches Jushiro in the face making him slide back as Itsuki rushes him and jumps up as his sword flies to his hand and he slashes toward Jushiro's throat but suddenly a portal opens up in front of Itsuki as he falls onto the ground and Itsuki looks back and sees Isamu with his hand up and Itsuki throws his sword towards Isamu and Isamu dodges the sword as it stabs into the ground and Itsuki gets up and rushes towards the portal as Isamu closes his hand and the portal closes as he rushes to Jushiro's side and says

“Are you ok my lord!?” Jushiro holds his face as he says

“Fine, he just caught me off guard a bi–” Suddenly Itsuki's sword pushes through the middle of Jushiro's chest as Jushiro *screams in pain* and Kingsman looks over and sees Itsuki stabbing Jushiro in the back and he *smiles* as he says

“Good job Itsuki!” Kingsman catches Kenji’s fist and elbows him in the stomach launching him back and Jushiro slams his hand against the front of Itsuki's sword pushing it out of his back as he turns around and punches Itsuki in the stomach sending him flying back as he slams into the ground and Jushiro flies into the air as he *angrily* says

"I'm tired of this! All of you will die, here and now!" Jushiro opens his hand as ten small balls of light suddenly fly up into space and they all suddenly surge with such force the planet starts shaking as they expand all forming into giant suns and covers his eyes from the intense light and *laughs* as he feels the intense heat and says

"What are you trying to do, blind us to death!" Suddenly all the suns starts surging as they start going supernova and beams from the sun start shooting all across the planet and Kingsman notices as one beams hits the planet it goes straight through the planet and Kingsman *smiles* as he says

"Well, this should be fun!" Everyone looks into the sky as they all start dodging and Kenji is *shocked* as he thinks

"Damn it, I need to-" Suddenly Kenji's blasted in the back with a beam of light as he falls onto his stomach and he notices another beam of light coming towards him and he thinks

"I can't move! NO!" Suddenly Kaito appears in front of him blocking the beams of light using his Icy Sun Flames as he looks at Kenji on the ground and thinks

"Every path I take leads back to hurting the ones close to me!"

At the same time Itsuki is able to dodge a lot of beams but as they speed up it catches him off guard as one of the beams are about to hit him in his chest but a hand pulls him to the side and Itsuki is *shocked* as he realizes he's behind Kingsman and Kingsman is blocking all of the beams of light with his sword as he spins it leaving it suspended in the air and he turns around as he looks at Itsuki and says

“I've been watching all of you, and I can say you’ve gotten a lot stronger Itsuki” Itsuki says

“Thank you, father” Kingsman says

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

“But tell me something, even though you know I'm not the man you once knew. Would you still be willing to follow me as I am right now? Itsuki says

“Yes!” Kingsman is *confused* as he says

“Why?” Itsuki says

“Had you not came and saved me that day, I would have died. You gave me hope, you gave me strength, you made me strong enough to defend the people I love. I owe you my life, and I have no real way to repay you. There is nothing I won’t sacrifice for you!” Kingsman says

“Itsuki, would you sacrifice the life you enjoy just to follow me down this path I’m taking?” Itsuki says

“Without hesitation” Kingsman says

“But that’s not you, you don’t wish for the destruction of everything. You would want to just kill Jushiro and the others, but I simply cannot allow this multiverse to stand because of the reason it was made. Itsuki, the next time you meet me,Kaito, or Yamamoto I want you to give it everything you have!" Itsuki is *shocked* as he says

“I do wish to bring you back to the village and the live we all had together, but I don’t wish to fight you father!” Kingsman says

“You’re not, you are going to face Yamamoto. The next time the two of you meet I expect you to try your hardest” Itsuki is *confused* as he says

“Who is he?" Kingsman says

"An old swordsmen that should give you a real challenge and truly test your sword skill" Itsuki says

"Alright father, but can I tell you something?” Kingsman says

“Go ahead!” Itsuki hugs Kingsman as he says

“Thank you Father, you truly are an amazing man. If it wasn’t for your kindness I would never know what true love is” Kingsman says

“Thank you Itsuki, but understand now I’ll treat you like any other warrior” Itsuki says

“I understand father, and I’m ready for it” Kingsman says

“Good!” Kingsman turns around and says

“If you are truly devoted give me your arm” Itsuki snaps as his sword appears in his left hand and he puts his right arm out as he lifts his sword into the air and he slashes towards his arm but Kingsman grabs his wrist as he *chuckles* and says

“You weren't kidding, and that was your dominant arm as well! I must say you surprised me! Grow strong and be ready for the battle of your life!” Kingsman grabs Itsuki by his shirt as he pushes him back through the air until he lands on Kenji's chest as a portal opens up underneath them and Kingsman grabs his sword out of the air and starts walking towards Jushiro as he dodges all of the beams and Kingsman raises his sword as he says

“Have a taste of your own power!” Kingsman’s sword wraps in light as his darkness is still surging across his sword and Kingsman slashes towards Jushiro sending a giant shockwave slash towards Jushiro and Jushiro puts his hand up creating a giant barrier in front of him and as the slash hits the barrier it cracks and starts pushing Jushiro back and Jushiro is *shocked* as he says

“How are you doing this!?” Kingsman says

“My sword absorbs every strike thrown at it making it even stronger allowing me to redistribute the power and strength used against it. Now let me show you a small amount of the power built up with in it” Suddenly the slash burns brighter and shatters the barrier and Jushiro puts up his hand as another barrier starts forming in front of him and he's *shocked* as it immediately shatters and Jushiro leans out of the way of the slash but Jushiro's hand is cut off as he *screams in pain* and Jushiro flies down to the ground as he holds his severed hand and Kingsman *laughs* as Jushiro gets *angry* and says

“You bastard, I’ll end this here and now!” Jushiro puts his hand up as Kingsman stops in place and Jushiro creates a giant light blade and steps into his face as he says

“This is where it ends!” Jushiro slashes Kingsman throat but it shatters immediately and Jushiro is *shocked* as Kingsman *smiles* and says

“That tickled!” Kingsman headbutts him in the face sending him flying back and Jushiro stops himself from flying back as he holds his face but he's *shocked* as he realizes his hand is back and he looks at Kingsman as Kingsman says

“Consider it a favor, just because I'm not done tormenting you" Makoto rushes Kingsman from behind and Kingsman says

“I’m glad your back up now hold this!” Kingsman turns around as he tosses his sword onto Makoto and Makoto instantly fall too the floor and the sword is across his neck and he’s struggling to breath as the blade starts to sink into the ground and Makoto fires a blast at the blade but it doesn't move the blade at all and Makoto blast the ground underneath him creating a crater and he starts falling as he slips from underneath Kingsman's sword and jumps out of the crater and Kingsman snaps as his sword flies to his hand before it hits the ground and Makoto puts his hand up as he tries to blast Kingsman but nothing happens and Makoto is *confused* as he says

"What the hell!? What happened to my power!?" Kingsman says

“Oh you don’t know, you shouldn't fire directly into my blade. It'll siphon your power, that’s why you don’t touch it. Haven’t you noticed the suns have stopped firing beams” Kingsman starts walking towards Jushiro and Makoto looks up and realizes that all of the suns above barely have any light coming from them and Kingsman’s walking towards Jushiro as he throws his sword at Jushiro and says

“If you do that you’ll suffer” But Isamu opens up a portal in front of Jushiro sending Kingsman sword flying through it but Kingsman snaps as another portal opens up in front of Isamu slashing him across the chest and Isamu falls to the ground as Jushiro is *shocked* and screams

“NO!” Jushiro flies over and carefully picks up Isamu as he opens a portal back to there village and rushes through the portal and Kiyoshi is *shocked* and thinks

"He's never cared this much about any of us, Haruto was bleeding out in front of him and he didn't even look at him! But Isamu gets hurt for the first time and he cares him away!" Kiyoshi looks at Kingsman as he gestures for him to go through the portal and Kiyoshi flies through the portal as Kingsman *smiles* and walks towards the portal but Makoto punches him in the face sliding him back and Kingsman says

“Makoto, I never took you for the type to self sacrifice!” Makoto says

“As warriors we fight with honor, we can’t let the one we fight for be killed. Now let us finish our battle, I was not joking when I said you were the best fight I’ve ever had!” Kingsman says

“Because you’re a warrior I can truly respect, I won't kill you instantly. But just in case, don’t blink!” Makoto *smiles* as he says

“Right!” Kingsman stabs his sword into the ground as him and Makoto rush each other as Makoto tries to punch him but Kingsman dodges his punch as he punches him in the stomach and chest as he uppercuts Makoto and Makoto stumbles back as Kingsman rushes him and tries to punch him but Makoto catches his hand as he punches Kingsman across the face and Makoto lifts his hand again but Makoto drops to one knee as he lets go of Kingsman's hand and Makoto *laughs* as he says

“That speed you have is truly incredible, if it could harm me I’d be in trouble! All I saw was three punches, what did you do? Hit pressure points all over my chest shutting down my nerves” Kingsman says

“I could have killed you one hundred times over, but I like testing new fighting styles on you” Makoto says

“You are a strong warrior, but you can’t defeat me Kingsman. I refuse to die!'' Makoto tries to stand up but he can’t move his legs and Kingsman says

“Now to answer your question, what did I do to you. I simply used a technique your beloved friend showed me, now show me your resolve" Kingsman knees Makoto in the face sending him flying back as he slams into the ground and Makoto *chuckles* as he rolls over onto his stomach and quickly starts crawling towards Kingsman and as he gets close to Kingsman, he pushes himself off of the ground and throws multiple punches at Kingsman but Kingsman dodges all of his punches as he grabs Makoto by the neck catching him out of the air as he slams him into the ground and Kingsman *laughs* as he takes a step back and says

“Are you going to get up this time?” Makoto starts *laughing* as he says

“This is it! This is the spark I’ve wanted to fully experience! You’ve got my blood pumping Kingsman!” Kingsman says

“Don’t worry, I’ll stop that” Makoto activates all of his universes and his energy starts surging all around his body and Kingsman steps back as Makoto is slowly able to stand up and Kingsman says

“You shaped your power around your legs to allow you to stand, very smart” Makoto *smiles* as he says

“I have to think on my feet when fighting you” They rush each other and clash but as they clash there sending shockwaves throughout the universe until Makoto catches Kingsman wrist and headbutts him and swipes his legs from underneath him as he slams both of his hands into Kingsman chest bouncing him off of the ground and he punches Kingsman in the chest sending him flying back but Kingsman softly lands on the ground as Makoto *laughs* and rushes him as he tries punching Kingsman but Kingsman dodges all of his punches until he grabs both of Makoto's wrist as pulls him close and headbutts him as he punches him across the face making him stumble back but Kingsman grabs his wrist pulling him back towards him as he knees him in the chin and Kingsman starts quickly punching Makoto all over his body as he starts stumbling backwards until Kingsman jumps up and kicks Makoto across the face sending him sliding back as he drops to his knees and Makoto *laughs* as he says

“These are the battles...I’ve missed so much as a warrior!” Kingsman says

“Even the lowest of warriors deserve to feel some joy in battle, but this one must come to an end” Makoto says

“Then let us finish this beautiful battle” Makoto slowly stands up as he jumps back and lock eyes with Kingsman and *smiles* as he thinks

“I’ve truly never been this close to death before, It feels…Incredible!” They rush each other and Makoto tries to punch Kingsman but Kingsman dodges Makoto’s strike as he starts hitting him extremely fast all over his body and Makoto keeps trying to hit Kingsman but he’s only able to hit afterimages left behind by Kingsman until he spits up blood and falls onto the ground and blood starts pouring from his mouth as he is *shocked* and says

“What…Did you do!?” Kingsman stands over Makoto and he *chuckles* as he says

“I hit you all over your body, but none of my punches touched you from the outside. But I must say even with me phasing through your body to attack you internally, I must admit you’re still extremely tough to damage!” Makoto *chuckles* as he says

“You…Still can’t kill me!” Kingsman says

“I can, but I will be honest it would take a significant amount of effort. And you’re just more trouble than it’s worth” Kingsman puts his hand on Makoto's chest as he uses

“Reversion” Makoto *screams in pain* as he says

“What did you do to me!?” Kingsman says

“I reverted your body to a point where it couldn’t handle the power you currently possess, so I don’t need to kill you. Your power will!” Makoto screams and his body starts to shake as the orbs on his chest start to crack and Makoto's body starts surging with light but Kingsman opens a portal underneath him and Kingsman thinks

“I can use you later!” Kingsman closes the portal and walks over to Kaito as he says

“We have to go, I’m hungry” Kaito says

“But Kingsman, what about Jushiro?” Kingsman says

“I need to slow down with how much I’m taking from him, I want him to suffer slowly. I’m going too fast” Kaito says

“Why not just end it now?” Kingsman says

“Because he used me and my family for entertainment, so I’ll do the same” Yamamoto walks up next to them as he says

“You allowed them to toy with our family!?” Kingsman looks at Yamamoto and says

“Kaito!” Kaito punches Yamamoto making him stumble back as he's holding his jaw and Kingsman says

“Now take us home!” Kaito says

“I can’t create portals like you” Kingsman puts his hand on Kaito’s back as suddenly three universal orbs appear in Kaito’s chest as Kingsman says

“Portal!” Kaito puts his hand up and opens up a portal into Kaito's office and Kaito is *shocked* as he looks at his chest and says

“Kingsman, how did you do this?” Kingsman says

“My darkness comes from the malice of the gods, all of their hatred for each other created my darkness and strengthened it to the point that a single piece of my darkness could turn one weak man into a man with the strength to wipe out an entire galaxy with a thought. But with me mastering my darkness and fully controlling it that allows me the same powers they have and more. That includes their power of creation” Kaito is *shocked* and says

“Wow!” Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

“Why do you think Yamamoto is as good as he is?” Kaito *laughs* and Yamamoto says

“I worked for my skill, my darkness enhanced my strength,speed, and regeneration but never my skill” Kingsman says

“Sure” Kingsman walks through the portal and Kaito and Yamamoto follow behind as Kaito says

“Kingsman?” Kingsman looks at him and Kaito says

“Why did you tell Kenji you controlled me!?” Kingsman says

"If I am to ever lose, it would be to him. And if that happens he'll be destroyed mentally, physically and emotionally. I'll need someone I can trust to take care of him in this world, plus even if I fail you retain your life" Yamamoto *chuckles* as he says

"Too think you would lose is a terrible mindset, that's why I-" Kingsman says

"Is this coming from a man that was sealed by his own son, you can't possibly be the one to lecture me!" Kaito *laughs* as he says

"Losing to your own son and being sealed away is just pathetic!" Yamamoto says

"It took an entire army along with my son to simply seal me" Kingsman *laughs* and says

"It would have taken all of the gods to slow me down, but you were sealed by a clan who has been forgotten by time. If they were truly strong they wouldn't have been forgotten" Yamamoto says

"You-" Yamamoto is *shocked* as he blinks and sees Kingsman with his sword to his chest as Kingsman says

"Just like that you're sealed again, pathetic!" Kaito *laughs* as he walks over and sits down at the table and Kaito says

"Kingsman?" Kingsman walks over and sits at the head of the table as he says

"Kaito?" Kaito says

"Who was that giant tiger you were with? Was that Tadashi? If so he's changed drastically!" Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

"It was Tadashi, and after everything he's done for me I have him serving one final purpose"
