GREAT STRIKE EXIA

Justice Fight ~The Brave Legend~

Author's note : the Youtube video above is a music I made for Great Strike Exia to be it's opening song like any Anime does if you will. Enjoy the music while having a fun read. Quite the feels.

Beyond stardusts and galaxies,

Amazing powers soar and radiate throughout the universe,

These powers were separated to two forces,

Strike, the power that comes from all things of nature, and in the light hearts of man.

and Exia, a foreign power from the Mysterious Great Rune of old.

Long ago, the children of Light hearted Herunia found this Great Rune in the depth of earth, and saw that it harbors immense power, of all kinds that enhances man in ways unbelievable, and unexplainable. Too strong and harmful that corrupts the Strike light in their souls this Rune of Exia so did, and to harness its power, Man tear the Rune into Seven parts,

Each great Exia Rune shard under a Lord's possession,

And from the Lords comes The Lord Exia,

And their Exian clansman.

This,

Is the emotional epic,

Of how our hero —— Tenmei Akiro sacrifices himself and fight injustice with powers,

EXIA and Strike,

And confronts the Demon inside him,

To save all, for everlasting greatness.

Chapter <Ⅰ>

Call him Tenmei Akiro,

He was a silent young man, slightly over his early twenties, silver of long messy hair covering his ear edges and the back of his neck, but not his dark blue eyes dim in light calm in sight. Some may consider a man such as he with tall, well sported body frame and solemn appearances a man of above average liking, yet his silence blocked many proposing persons of the opposite sex, even so the same sex. In this small yet thriving press company the colleagues would go on wine and cuisine feasting after a long day's work, but never had any successfully invited our solitude man Tenmei Akiro, for naught know what he seeks, where he's from, and how he achieved a position in said company despite no background knowledge and specific skills for working in the press, the only thing the working young men and women knew of him, is he is a quiet mysterious fine man with charming looks, and the rest unknown. As all would expect that night Tenmei Akiro would return home still even if they invited him to a night outing to the bars, so they let the man sway, little be known that this night unlike other nights, Tenmei Akiro didn't go straight home, but headed his way to the metro station,

With a gun in his coat pocket,

And a suitcase in hand.

Crowded still the nighttime metro station nearest to Tenmei Akiro's workplace, situated in the middle of buzzing night market streets and bars and roast houses for all working-class individuals to rest and fill their stomachs. Many come as so did many leave, and one of them leaving folk is Tenmei Akiro. He was in no hurry, for his quick glance had checked the time, seven thirty pm., ample time to prepare and commute to the designated location, surmised Akiro as he strolled on towards his planned path.

What was not of Tenmei Akiro's planning, was a police chasing a ruffian terrorist across the metro station quarters, pushing many a commuter aside. Tenmei Akiro was forced to a halt as the ruffian rushed pass his planned path, locking a glance unbeknownst to any present for a split second. The old plump station police did yell for brave pedestrians to help trip the gun-holding terrorist but no courageous fellow showed until Tenmei Akiro rushed forth after the escaping vagabond. They ran until no one was nearby to a dead-end corner, where the police rushed forth, and to his surprise was knocked out cold by Tenmei Akiro's elbow strike waiting behind the corner.

" Many thanks, Tenmei." The smug ruffian terrorist panted as he chuckled, handcuffing the old unconscious poilice with his own handcuffs

" Now let us hurry, the next metro is bound to arrive."

But this Tenmei Akiro he did rush to said next metro, but with his own gun in his coat he drew, firing one single bullet at the ruffian's head, killing the vagabond in one shot so as to save ammunitions, for more to come.

For this Tenmei Akiro may seem to be with terrorists and vagabonds, he has his own path that could not easily be discerned nor followed.

Chaos occurred at the platforms as a gunshot was heard and a dead body found, yet the culprit unseen. As the police force was spread out to investigate, more secret ruffians clothed in shady common outfits sneaked onto the metro. Among them is our man Tenmei Akiro, who slid in to the closing metro doors right after an old frail lady that was nearly pushed out of the way had Tenmei not come and ushered past, helping the old lady squeeze into the near full compartment as it slowly set forth on time. Tenmei Akiro stood by the door, calmly collecting his breath, and looking around at his surroundings.

Most were common civilians of no particular import. And Tenmei saw of this old lady who was nearly pushed out of the way chatting to this young woman at her early twenties, both sitting next to the metro door of which Tenmei leaned upon. This young lady caught our man by a slight surprise for, orange of hair and fare in appearance, donning a coat covering the modest nightgown within, with outfits that seem casual to the common eye, yet all be a camouflage to Tenmei Akiro's trained eye. This young woman was hiding her true status and trying to seemingly blend in to common folk, more than successful many may assume without full observation, for this lady be called Nanali Hikaru, the daughter of the notorious Rising prime minister of Kingdeniom, Lasvet Hikaru.

If Tenmei Akiro calculated correctly on the calendar, this night, Prime minister Lasvet Hikaru is holding a press conference of minuscule import before the end stop of this metro, The Freedom and Justice memorial tower station, a monument established after the war decades ago that signifies the two virtues of this republic soil that is Kingdeniom, and within that tower is a metro station Tenmei Akiro plans to drop by.

As he rest his eyes on the dark night sparkled with neon lights, Tenmei Akiro noticed the chatting of the old lady and the Prime Minister's daughter came to a halt, for the daughter of the prime minister approached him, coming out of the blue that Tenmei Akiro had never so anticipated.

" Sir...if you don't mind.." Nanali Hikaru daughter of Prime minister said to our man Tenmei in a gentle whisper so as to not let eavesdroppers hear her

" Your forehead is bleeding. This handkerchief is for you."

Tenmei Akiro took the handkerchief with a silent nod as this Nanali returned to her seat and resumed comfortable chat with the old lady as if nothing had happened before. Tenmei quickly wiped the blood that was as he expected, not his. But the ruffian's he just shot. He was careless, Tenmei Akiro thought so himself, but cast those ideas aside, for what he planned for the couple of weeks to achieve, from the first day he infiltrated into the press company, to investigate and join the terrorist group that has planned to infiltrate the metros tonight, and to gain the terrorist gang's trust for letting him join this task tonight. Tonight, was the final showdown of his planning for the path he chose.

The metro gave an unnatural shack as many may assume the wind for pebbles that matters little in the commuting of the vehicle, only Tenmei Akiro knows, it meant the other terrorists that had their goals set to horror and destruction, hijacked the control cabin and apprehended the captain as so Tenmei's was shown of their plan the nights before, and successfully they did took over the cabin in time's due, and now the metro in the hands of the terrorist gang Red Spider, it's leader Tatakau Delavita, in the name of revenge towards the villainy of Prime Minister Lasvet Hikaru.

Yes, these terrorists were joined in arms in spite of the ways Lasvet Hiakru rules through war and death, governing the common folks with unorthodox brutality that cost many lives.

But why call themselves the Red Spider you ask?

because they imagine they possess an unseen Rune of Anti Lasvet, which is Bright Red, and shaped like a deformed Spider.

And with their first move, these anti-Exian terrorists plan to ram the metro with all the civilians within, and smash down the Freedom and Justice memorial tower where the notorious Prime Minister Lasvet Hikaru will be present below the monument, ending his rule of treacherous schemes and bloodshed.

But tonight, they are not the only organization out on a mission, for The Lords of Exia seek peace, prosperity, and justice for their governed lands, and one of them Exian Lords has seen through the plans these terrorists so covet to doom innocents through meaningless bloodshed, and also a dangerous existence that threatens the existence of Exian Lords within the terrorists and had sent his clansmen, individual subjects close the Exia Rune lords that bear also a portion of their lord's powerful will, with unique abilities of countless kinds blessed by their lord's rune, which they act out their lord's judgment as their knights of caliber. Two of such Clansman had found a rooftop overlooking the main city boulevards of capital Tron of Kingdeniom where the metro track flowed by below. Both clansmen in red crimson suits under thick long coats flourished in royal style, one of them serious looking thin man, purple shimmering hair sleek and short and piercing like his sharp glance, observing the still far away metro yet to come through his telescope device shaped as a round circular high tech lens.

“ Your bike is ready.”

The other clansman behind this purple-haired soldier man spake, rising from a jet-engined motorbike the dark-skinned clansman with sunglasses so engineered on, for he was Pablo Roaneru, a capable clansman of the Exia Lord Rune that blazes Red crimson in aura, which all knows as the Lord of Red, and this Pablo's expertise exceeds many and his numerous skills always in service for his Lord and fellow clansmen, which here is to customize a jet engines motorbike capable of things other motorbikes couldn't.

And this pale skinned purple haired clansman Flaming Genale, the blade of his Lord that has blocked bullets and assassinings too many and survived wars and winning them against little to no favor all in his Lord's name, answered cooly

“ So is Alenia Fellion.”

For this young war hero Flaming Genale so drew out his sword which is also a gun polished and designed with the leading technologies of the Lord of the Red Rune, the Exia blessing of Technology and human creations , a sword rifle blessed upon him from his Lord in a battle against his Crimson Lord's brother who coveted the Exia Rune many years ago, in which battle Flaming Genale risked his life to save his lord, gaining full trust for life and a weapon none could harness except he to its full potential that it never misses, and any who tasted it's bullet have their wounds burnt and incapable of healing, so is the history of Alenia Fellion the sword rifle, named after the Fire God of their sacred beliefs.

And before Flaming speeded out to the sky on his bike Pablo blessed with his excellent skills, whispered in the Elden Kingdeniom tongue

“ Yo Kallen Terminas.”

All hail Terminas, he so did mean, as always before each battle, in the name of his Lordship that rules in the floating isle of the Celestial Beings Terminas, and off he went, Flaming Genale after the metro that has made its way just below them as the young war hero drove on the sides of buildings with magical shifting moves from whence the powers blessed by his Lord so permits, for him to take down one menace that would bring carnage and destruction in its wake, the Arkarios, the undead berserk Demon, which is on said Metro.

The metro was nearing its destination, The Freedom and Justice memorial tower which Tenmei Akiro watched from his side of the glass door he leaned upon and brooded,As his thoughts led him back to his deep memories,

Of a grassy plain,

Cool breeze.

Clear blue sky.

Small hearty village.

But all of a sudden,

Everything was destroyed and on fire.

Neighbors dead or dying,

Houses burning,

His mother gone, who Tenmei had no memory of,

And his father, Toshitaro was his name, a man he once looked up upon his brave image,

And before the flames of war and agony devour young Tenmei`s soul in his memories

his father's voice, calling his name and something else entirely he couldn't make out anymore as his memories blurred at that exact moment every time he tried to recall, and also by the unnatural shaking of the Metro compartment that shook him up from memory lane.

Nanali on the other hand noticed this one unnatural shudder meant more than just the wind this time, and so did the old Granny.

“ Are they coming ?”

Asked old Granny in a dark serious tone all of a sudden, unlike the chatty self like a flip of a coin did her expression so change.

“ Who ?”

Asked Nanali.

And BANG did the compartment door smash open and ruffians came shouting

" Harken !! For the Red Spider has come to pass judgment to all Lords unworthy !!! Shut up and hand over your U-phones !!!"

U-phones, as in the smartphones of this era of Kingdeniom, but better than yours.

The Old Granny refused to hand out her phone and the ruffians were going to assault the old lady when Nanali Hikaru came to the rescue and opposed the thugs with reason.

" You claim to threaten the Lords of their Exia Runes !" This Nanali Hikaru bravely stood up against the Red Spider terrorists in reason

" Then leave the innocent people out of this! Take me instead----"

" Sit, down."

And Lo, behind Nanali was a gun, its tip pointed to her head, and the gun holder our man Tenmei Akiro, cold and devoid of humanity threatened in his deep voice with such gravity that pushed back Nanali to her seat, astonished by the man she gave the handkerchief to be one fiend. A fiend that had her not disclose her true self to the other terrorists present, without Nanali herself realizing it for her own good.

The ruffians were pleased to see Tenmei

" Splendid, Tenmei !" the terrorists smirked

" Well, you got the suitcase with you, haven't you ?" one of them asked and pointed at the heavy suitcase Tenmei Akiro had been holding since he first appeared on screen

" Hand it over. We are setting the bombs."

Indeed, in Tenmei's coat pocket is a gun, but more terrifying is the suitcase he took to his fake press company job as a cover that is a suitcase full of explosives for this mission. It's a wonder it wasn't disclosed by anyone till now.

But to Nanali and the terrorists' surprise, Tenmei Akiro refused without a word, and with quick agility and rock-smashing strength, Tenmei Akiro slammed the metal hard suitcase across the air onto the first terrorist's head, skull parts and brain matter splattered to the glass window as so did light blood. The other terrorists were stunned and reacted one second too late before Tenmei Akiro went on bashing and smashing those terrorist heads one by one in quick violent strokes of murderous blows while his face still the calm cold expression like

a silent sightseeing gentleman, killed them, ruffians, with vicious swipes of his suitcase, until there were no more terrorists for him to smash heads.

Why, Akiro? Asked a dying ruffian with gurgling grunts of his shattered jaw and dislocated mandible.

It was his path he chose since the first day he joined the terrorists, since the day his village was pillaged, since the day he watched his dead father over a pool of his own light blood, His path, only he could tread upon. And so did Tenmei Akiro go, out of the compartment full of blood, and marched forth to slay more and more terrorists that never will know who betrayed them, heading towards the control cabin, where Tatakau Delavita the leader of the Red Spider was.

Nanali was terrified, but also awed by the heroic action she thought of thanking this Akiro dude for saving her and everyone on board before he left in a hurry, but something else more terrifying caught her attention, and that was the passengers around her, who she never did notice were all quiet and submissive to all that the terrorists say, but now the ruffians dead, they did not cheer nor rise to take back their U-phones, but instead, floated up like balloons all of them, for before Nanali's eyes, all the passengers were never human in the first place but zombies who were dolls, And in the middle of all the controlled puppet zombie dolls coming closer ganging up on Nanli, was the old Granny, who slowly deformed, transformed before Nanali's eyes, into a pink-haired young girl, a loli if you will, with a sly grin of malice drawn across her fare but wicked face.

...

.........

Tenmei reached the captain's cabin to see the leader of the Anti Exia Lords, Tatakau of red spider. Tall and huge a bull among men this Tatakau was, muscles bulging out of his shirt and bulletproof vests as he turned around his burly bearded dark-skinned face of a war-ravaged veteran who fought bears for leisure towards this calm Tenmei Akiro

“ Ha, Tenmei, What do you want ?!”

Asked the leader Tatakau

“ A medal? Did you not realize our act is justice towards the great evil that is Lasvet ?!”

And Answered Tenmei this

“ I want one thing only, Tatakau, and you and your gang are to open the path and cover my traces. Which means, You, are now in the way."

“ .....Hoh.”

Tatakau was awed and laughed

“ Then I need not show you courtesy......”

Tatakau smirked, and broadened his muscular bulging chest in combat pose,

As Tenmei Akiro prepared his man-killing stance, the two, terrorist and mysterious man, fighting with one hand a punch and the other a gun, slamming and firing at each other until the control cabin burst open and windows all shattered until with a fast low ankle knocking kick swipe, Tatakau lost his footing and with a quick flurry of gunshots, Tatakau was thrown off the metro tracks and vanished from the mortal plane.

Now, Tenmei Akiro thought as he looked around the battle-torn cabin, as he placed all the bombs in his suitcase that were meant to be separated across the many compartments, now gathered in this one cabin is the second phase of the plan.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

While the Tron capital metro was under massive dispute, the other residents of Tron were deeply glued to their personal lives, living their paths that may or may not collide with one another.

One of them people whose lives will change forever after this one night was among this gang of young people drinking beer on top of a flat.

They are Parusefors, an ancient tribe of old Kingdeniom aborigine assassins and also clansmen to the Lord of the Exia Rune that is of Human inner and physical Strength, of all that the human potential can achieve, which its Rune shone in the blaze of Purple strong hue among the young Clansmen that were celebrating the ending of the final combat exam which every young Parusefor must pass to be an upper classed Clansman, or in their tongue, a Master Striker.

But sadly, one of them clansman failed, and it was this ordinary dark-haired young man Griffon, young and rash, rich with powerful stance but poor in immediate judgment in combat, failing at the last portion of the battle exam against the trainer Master Strikers.

He felt totally out of place in this jolly party full of successful Parusefili unlike him.

“ What's wrong ?”

Asked Griffon`s classmate and close friend Marian Amatsumina.

She was a curious Parusefor young moe, a young girl as old as he.

Moe, as in beautiful and lovable, teeming in youth and life meant this old word of Kingdeniom tongue, now mainly used to describe young girls at the age range 16 to maybe 28 perhaps, mainly a word to describe young teenaged girls.

Pink of curly hair, fair in appearance, and well versed in hidden poisonous weaponry of Parusefor arts is this Marian Amastumina who everyone had a crush on including young lad Griffon, but none dare ask who she's the fondest of.

“ Well.....I planned to have revenge on the man who shamed my mother and tore my family apart after I pass this test.”

Griffon answered angrily, showing all his thoughts to Marian

“ But I failed. I have failed again, and this meant my Revenge isn't ready, and I fear I will never be ready.”

“There's another test next month.”

Marian said, comforting young rash Griffon with gentle speech, But Griffon won't listen, for this man, this notorious villain had shamed his Parusefor mother and ultimately caused his parents to divorce.

This evil man, is none other than notorious Prime Minister Lasvet Hikaru, being the worst person shamed Griffon's mother who was but a government assistant back then.

And Thinking of the man, who was holding the press conference of minuscule import right below the flat he and his friends now party on, filled his mind with more and more vengeance., which his rash self could contain no more, and also the effect of booze he mostly partook in his failed grimace, he then stepped onto the brink of the building, And leapt down in Parusefor assassin fashion before Marian could even stop him.

This young Griffon had set off to murder Lasvet Hikaru,

The prime minister of Kingdeniom, who shamed his mother and shattered his family apart,

And his life will never be the same.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

It has long been mentioned this notorious prime minister of Kingdeniom was an immensely terrible man, A beast of a person.

Driving tanks and his army of machine humanoid giants, his so-called Book of Mobile Walkers, into homes and burning down villages in the name of swarting political enemies.

The speech he now makes to justify his bloody acts before the Freedom and Justice memorial tower was bullshit and the crowd protested with loud shouts and boards of dispute but still, Lasvet Hikaru went on like nobody was talking.

Around the press conference of miniucule import, was a group of elite soldiers in golden uniforms and sheathed long lavishing sabers tied to their waists, passing by among the crowd as they discuss the folly of such politics.

They are the clansmen of the Lord of Exia of all that is Gold, The Rune of Fate and Destiny, of Man's resolve and hardship, the Faith and power to break the natural orders and achieve what is unachievable. They so rumor the Lord of the Golden Exia Rune of Fate is the strongest in force and political power, but hides it under civil scrutiny, controlling the course of the country in ways little could notice. The Golden Lord's clansmen were here following the orders of their mighty Lord to investigate Lasvet Hikaru`s cahoots, and the officer in lead was Roy Mustangoo, a young ambitious bro, and he was loyal and just to his Lord and King of Gold. One can say he is the closest bro to the Lord of Gold and his loyalty often displayed through his actions.

He was listening to what kind of crap Lasvet will cook up on stage this time when Roy saw a suspicious figure lurking near Lasvet`s stage.

“ There's a Parusefor dude near the stage! I know that aura! And he is hiding a weapon !”

Hidaka, Roy`s friend on his right whispered

" Shall we stop him ?"

“ We should, but without causing a scene !”

And Roy Mustangoo sprang to action with his team of golden warriors dashing in silence towards the Griffon who was indeed too rash to commit assassination.

Griffon the vengeful Percival knew he was followed, and led the Golden clansmen into the memorial tower to misguide them.

But Roy Mustangoo was no fool.

The Golden officer tracked Griffon down beside the metro platform inside tower.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Little knew that underneath the Freedom and Justice memorial tower,

Was a military base.

A Kingdeniom soldier under the ruthless squad of the Prime Minister's Book of Mobile Walkers by the name of Gelouch Dendrobium followed the lead of the head science analyst and martial arts tactician of this facility Pierreden Schultz.

“ General Gelouch, we are having a minor problem right now.”

Analyst Schultz spake in earnest

“ We would not recommend moving the asset right now.”

“ Prime minister has orders.”

Gelouch spat rudely

“ You have to listen.”

Both men turned to the large vessel behind them sizzling and shaking with slow but growing action, blazing with evergrowing blue light.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

The vigilant clansman of the Lord of the Red Exia, Flaming Genale was still driving on buildings as he observed everything inside the metro compartments carefully while he drove, his mission to exterminate the one menace that would threaten the existence or Exian Lords hiding within the terrorists.

But as he watched from his building riding a motorbike of high prowess, he saw that most of the terrorists are dead. Indeed, a strong deadly entity is in this metro as his Lord so visioned.

Tenmei Akiro turned around from the control cabin compartment as he saw the pink-haired wicked girl that had disguised herself as an old Granny enter, bringing to him Nanali Hikaru under the captivity of her puppet zombie dolls.

This pink-haired girl was Luka, and she was one eager to follow the grave path that Tenmei Akiro had chose upon.

“ Look who I found, Akiro！I have brought you you're present !”

Luka cried joyfully, handing him the tied-up Nanali

“ Akiro, this is your nemesis Lasvet Hikaru`s daughter! He who killed your father! Kill her!

And have revenge !!”

“ Let her go.”

Tenmei Akiro looked at the deranged pink youngster disdainfully

“ That is not of my concern right now.”

Luka saw in Tenmei Akiro`s eyes, that he had never cared what she had brought to him despite her feelings towards him, despite the secrets they share and the missions they have accomplished long before, long before this Metro mission Tenmei chose on his own, and all that feelings towards the dissolute Akiro fell to a distant heart that accepts nothing more, and the sadness turned to anger.

“ Don't you look away from me….”

Luka hissed with growing rage and despair

“ Do you know how much I sacrificed, For You ??!!”

Then Luka snatched Tenmei`s gun and pointed it at Nanali.

But Lo a war hero seeing his chance, took his action.

“ Fantome Alenia !”

Flaming cried the incantations to activate the killing blow of his Lord's blessed weapon and with an exploding force of fiery energy, it blew everyone onto the floor.

Luka crawled up, to see Tenmei Akiro shot to the far end of the captain's cabin, with a bloody hole through his chest, the wound burning still and bleeding nonstop, pain and agony struck together into this one deadly blow, but still with great effort, Tenmei Akiro staggered to his feet with all his strength, reaching out to a lever and pulled it down to separate the rushing cabin compartment from Luka and Nanali on the other side, dashing forth alone in his shattered cabin, with the bomb beside him now.

Flaming Genale was ready to leave his kill, but sensed something wrong, turning back in the air as his motorbike leapt to the other building side and drove back to see, standing in the burning lone compartment, was Tenmei Akiro no more, but his body engulfed in Demonic air that forged into a dark spiky armor engulfing his wounded flesh and healing the hole through his chest with demonic pus as his head was clad in lo dark beast looking helm of a demon Flaming in his years of battle still shivered at its roar of beastly strength.

" Flaming !! It's not dead yet !!"

Pablo the other clansman of Red cried, preparing a large high-tech bazooka and aiming from afar

" The Arkarios !! It is not dead !!"

Flaming Genale accelerated his bike, but before he could catch up and shoot forth another blow, the lone compartment dashed into the station within the second floor of the Justice and Freedom Memorial tower station which some bystanders at notorious Prime Minister Lasvet's press conference looked up to see a burning metro head dash in the tower in shock.

And the Demon armored Tenmei Akiro took up the bombs from the suitcase,

and erupted them all.

Roy Mustangoo chasing the failed Parusefor Griffon into the first floor of the Freedom and Justice Memorial tower, to see the single metro compartment dashing towards the platform

With ominous blazing light.

" SH-t !!!!"

Roy Mustangoo sensed an explosion and rushed away while Griffon stared, as came a great explosion that went KABLAM, and the Freedom and Justice memorial tower exploded in the middle portion, the second floor crumbled, and while Roy Mustangoo escaped safely, Griffon, unfortunately, fell down with the burning metro as the floor crumbled at its weight and explosion, revealing an underground facility miles below at the bottom of the memorial tower where all they fell, Griffon leaping side to side with Parusefor skills he trained all this time onto large debris escaping a fall that might kill him instantly.

The other Golden clansman Hidaka, and Domyouji came to the dusty Mustangoo

“ Enomoto is hurt !”

Hidaka cried, giving notice of his fellow comrade injured not too far away from the main conflict.“ And what be this big explosion about ?!”

“ I don't know yet.”

Roy answered tiredly, trying to catch his breath

“ But something bigger than that little assassin s about to happen !!”

Pablo the clansman of red looked up from his telescope visor

“ Flaming ?! Flaming, do you read me !!?”

He cried through the microphone speaker

" I do..."

Flaming Genale stood on his bike, on a small building top, not far away from the burning memorial tower which firefighters and police of Tron capital were now taking over

“ .......I failed. I'll report back to his majesty.”

Flaming Genale hung up his microphone and cursed to himself to the starless night skies.

Tenmei Akiro woke up in a dream.

In a land that was burning and dark,

Deep within, there was a broken temple,

And there, before the stone steps leading up to the said dilapidated temple, sat a man.

A human-shaped figure engulfed in darkness, dark Demonry.

This dark entity looked down on the Tenmei Akiro

" I made a promise....."

hummed this dark entity in a deep voice that reached into Tenmei Akiro's soul

" And you, are my way to keep that promise."

" You....."

Tenmei Akiro breathed heavily, touching his chest that ached but was healed in this dream, still, the pain was real

" You have saved me yet again......"

" Only for my own purpose. "

replied the dark entity

" But this time is different. You are killed. By a power that cannot be stopped. But I have a way to remedy this folly."

" How...." Tenmei Akiro asked touching his aching chest.

" Two things: One is Your Strike."

spake the dark being

" Your Strike is entwined with mine, so your physical body may tarnish, but my strength in you still remains.

And second...is This."

And the Dark being brought out a blazing Rune, of Blue aura that blazed the whole dark dream into bright blue.

" The Rune."

spake the dark being as it held up in his dark hand

" You have to choose, Tenmei Akiro. To give up your old dying self, discard everything that brought you here, and embrace a New body, a New consciousness from this Rune, or perish now, here.

Tenmei Akiro, are you willing to make the right choice ???"

* ● ● ● ● ●

Griffon staggered out of the broken metro and found himself at the bottom of the memorial tower.

There were soldiers led by the government general Gelouch.

" A Spy !!!!" Gelouch the general cried to his men

" Finish him !!!!!"

But Before the Kingdeniom soldiers were about to gun down the wounded Griffon,

A tall armored being stepped out of the burning metro.

* ● ● ● ● ●

Tenmei Akiro without hesitation, made his choice.

" Good." The Dark being chuckled and rose up, tall and big, clad in the armor of Darkness

" I, Arkarios, Arch Demon of Vengeance, Assist thee, Tenmei Akiro. Revive !!!!"

And the Rune of ultramarine light burst, ablaze.

* ● ● ● ● ●

Griffon watched in terror and awe as the armored being, the one the Parusefor elders dare not invoke its name, one that children fear and awe in myth and tales, The Arch Demon Arkarios now stood before his eyes, in the form of an armored Berserker, wielding its long spiked great sword Lifthrasir and fought general Gelouch and his men until they were all killed gruesomely and Gelouch ran for his life.

The Arkarios armored Tenmei Akiro came to the shaking vessel at the end of the underground lab facility and opened it with mighty force.

" Ahh....."

Griffon thought he heard the Arkarios utter with great satisfaction at the sight of what seemed to glow a soothing light inside the opened vessel

" .....Sora.......I have found you........."

And then the Dark armor dispersed to dark force back into Tenmei Akiro, who fell to his feet, unconscious in front of the opened vessel.

And There, inside the vessel,

A young teenage girl with curly blue hair woke up.
