Kurenami looked at the group of people.
"Are you Kurenami?" One of them asked.
"Uhh... Y- Yes?" Kurenami replied.
The group of people walked in, as they all took their capes off.
"Good, looks like you are still alive and in One, Piece." One of them said, smirking
"Zaine, do not tell me that is a reference." A female said, as she made a fist out of her hand.
"W- Woah! Calm down, its just a joke, Michiko." Zaine replied quickly.
The others were laughing, as two more people appeared behind Kurenami, one of them was Kirito. The other one was Yuudai, The Yuudai. Kurenami's eyes lightened up. He looked way more awesome then on the times he had seen him on TV. Some rumors say that he is married to a robot, but he hasn't talked about that on the television yet.
"Good, now that you all have arrived. Let's welcome each other." Yuudai said, looking at the group of people infront of him.
"First, we have Squad C-15, with Nobu, Zaine and Joey." Yuudai said, pointing at the three on the left side.
"And on the right we have Squad D-19, who are Michiko, daughter of Lio Tarashio. Ziro, son of Sherman. Lumina Rose and Otomi Samuru, son of Nobu, but you two still have to meet each other." Yuudai followed up.
Kurenami was amazed and honored to meet all of those people.
"Amazing..." Kurenami mumbled, as she turned to Kristina.
"You knew all these people all along?" Kurenami asked.
Kristina let out a sigh.
"It's no big deal, you'll get used to it eventually." Kristina replied.
"So, where is this Kanami person you were talking about?" Michiko asked.
"Oh he..." Kristina said, as she suddenly stopped.
"...No one has seen him since the incident that happend earlier." Kristina replied.
"Chances are he is d-" "Wrong." Yuudai interrupted Kristina.
Kurenami's eyes lightened up.
"W- What do you mean?" Kristina asked.
"He is still alive... I saw him that day when I arrived..."

"We are on our way to the headquarters, stand put!" Yuudai said fromout his radio, as he ran from the stairs to the roof.
When he opened the door he saw Kristina holding Kurenami, Kurenami had fainted. One of the choppers landed.
"Yuudai, my boy." Someone said fromout the chopper, as he jumped out.
He looked at his bottle as he took a sip, wiping his mouth.
"Lio, you are late." Yuudai replied.
"No, you are just early." Lio replied.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Yuudai let out a sigh.
"Get in the chopper, we'll discuss this later." Lio said, as Kristina and Kurenami went in the chopper.
Just when Yuudai wanted to jump in, he noticed someone. Yuudai looked at the man he saw running away, with a cape covering his entire body. A little of blue light glew through the cape, but Lio pushed Yuudai into the chopper.
"No time for imagination, we gotta leave." Lio said, as Yuudai didn't approach the man.

Kurenami's eyes lightened up more after the story Yuudai told them.
"So he is... Alive?" Kurenami mumbled.
Thank god... Kanami I have some many questions to ask when I will see you again... Suddenly someone appeared behind Kurenami, his cape covered his entire face, as he swung the back of his fist straigh at her.
When Kurenami turned her eyes widened up, as she covered her face. But she didn't get hit, when she looked back up, she saw Yuudai caught his fist, as his eye was glowing red.
"Step back." Yuudai whispered to her, as Kurenami quickly jumped back.
Yuudai grabbed the arm of the man tightly, as he slammed him backwards into the ground. Yuudai jumped back, and grabbed his katana. The man pulled himself out of the ground and looked up.
"What a wierd greeting..." The man in the cape said, as a glowing V mark was visible fromout the hood of his cape.
"Everyone, this is an S-Rank warning, step back and take cover!" Yuudai shouted, as his eyes glew an X mark.
Everyone stepped back, Including both Squads. The man took his cape off, as Yuudai's eyes widened up. The man was covered in a battle suit, and his helmet had a V mark glowing red.
"You..." Yuudai mumbled.
"Long time no see..." The man in the battle suit replied, as he took off his mask. His red eyes had a pentagram glowing dark on his pupil. The man in the battle suit was Jiro.
"You haven't forgotten me, have you?" Jiro said, grinning as he closed his eyes.
"La vendetta sie sente bene..." Jiro whispered, as his eyes suddenly got a pentagram logo on his pupil.

Lio let out a sigh, as he put up his leggs on top of the table.
"So, what do we do now?" Lio asked, as he took a sip of his bottle.
"We will have to find out the next city they will try to take over." The man next to him said, as he leaned out of the shadow, it was Sherman.
"We should take a gamble, we have no other option left anymore, if we gamble right we wil take the advantage." Sherman followed up. Everyone looked at a man on a giant throne, His eye was glowing red.
"We shouldn't gamble with lives of hundreds or thousands..." The man said on the throne.
Suddenly one eye changed from red to blue, as he leaned out of the shadow. Everyone's eyes widened up.
"...Is what Mekato would've said." The person in the cape said, as his hair waved around and his robotic eye became visible to the rest surroundig him
"But he disappeared decades ago." The man with the robotic eye followed up.
"You little!- " "Woah! Do not move, or else..." The man with the robotic eye interrupted Sherman, as the man showed a remote control in his hand.
"...Unless you like being blown up, that is." He followed up, smiling.
It went quiet for a while, as everyone slowly sat back down.
"What do you want?" Sherman asked. The man looked at Sherman.
"Me? I am not the one wanting things around..." The man said, confusing the group on the chair.
"...You should ask Kami No Chitsujo what they want, they'll give you a huge list full of things you'll need to change." The man followed up.
"Then, why? Why are you working with them?" Sherman asked.
The man went quiet. Suddenly Lio stood up, throwing a broken bottle straight the person. Lio missed the man, but the remote control broke.
"What the- !?" Just as the man was talking, Sherman slammed him through all the floor back to the first floor.
Sherman looked through all the holes he created, noticing the man running to the exit. Sherman looked at Lio, as they both nodded. Lio's eyes glowed gold
"Just like old times, eh?" Lio said, smiling.
Sherman smirked back, as they both jumped through the holes, while Lio grabbed Shermans arm.
"Let's Go!" Lio shouted, as Sherman spinned him.
The man turned as he heard the other two, as his eyes widened up.
"God's Ability: Lightspeed Barrage Mark 2!" Lio shouted, as Sherman boosted him forward.
The man looked up as tails flied out of his cape, ripping the cape and blocking Lio. Lio landed and took a step back, as the tails spreaded out. Sherman and Lio's eyes widened up, the person infront of them was the son of him. Sherman remembered his name...
