Neon War Chapter 4: Toji
"Are you insane? I can’t just—I can’t just leave, Zemaku!" Ren said.
"Do it now," Zemaku commanded. "I can’t just let you roll over and die," Zemaku pleaded with Ren.
"Fine, but don’t die, Zemaku!" Ren screamed before attempting to limp away.
"Kyahahaha! You are not going anywhere, little Ren," Goki said smugly. But before he could do anything, Zemaku interfered, moving faster than ever, his aura allowing him to move faster than Goki could react.
"You’re the scum of the world—no, the universe itself—and you must be erased," Zemaku said in rage.
Zemaku had managed to buy Ren enough time to escape and train and now stood before Goki.
"Damn it, what the hell is he? Don’t tell me he gets stronger with his emotions. It can't be!"
Zemaku pulled out his Laser Gun from his back pocket and fired it at Goki, but Goki deflected it, and the laser blast destroyed a building in the background.
"Kyahahaha! I was worried for no reason. Ren may have gotten away, but he won’t get much stronger. And once he returns, he will see you dead, and he will join you in hell! KYAAHAHAHAHA!" Goki laughed maniacally.

"I would not count on that, Goki," Zemaku growled, his aura growing stronger. As the gun’s power increased, it gained more energy. But before Zemaku could launch his shot, a bunch of Plasma Arrows hit Goki.
"Plasrows?" Zemaku questioned.
"Plasrows are said to be made by an ancient civilization, just like the Plasblade, but they work like a bow and arrow. The Plasrow—the name for the bow in this case—shoots plasma arrows. Does this mean that Ren isn’t the only one with advanced ancient weapons?" Zemaku asked himself.
"Toji, you bastard! Why would you betray Thumb?" Goki asked, choking on his blood.
"You fool. I never worked for Thumb," a voice said from the distance.
The strange man walked up from behind the cliff where he had been hiding, revealing his army of men, who all aimed their weapons at Thumb.
"Hey, Zemaku, nice to finally meet you! Ren’s been talking to me in secret, and I’ve been building up a resistance against Thumb since I found out he joined you. I’m Toji—nice to meet you," Toji said.
"Toji, you traitor! I’ll be sure to tell Thumb. Your days are numbered!" Goki said, nearly dead.
"You fail to realize that you’re a dead man, Goki," Toji said, then signaled his army to shoot Plasrows, ending Goki.
"So, you said you follow Ren’s orders?" Zemaku asked.
"Yes. Thumb gives each of his followers a leader; it’s just that some get to lead multiple men. Since Ren’s been gone, I’ve been making myself stronger and stronger, both mentally and physically, in preparation for the revolution you’re sure to lead, Zemaku. I know that you will be this world’s savior."
