“Like you’re ever going to improve…” says Kyo after scoffing.
Suddenly, a knock arrives at Kyo’s door. Kyo quickly gets up and heads over to open the door.
Kyo opens the door and finds Shina and his friends at his front door.
“If you’re ready to head out, let’s go eat,” says Shina, putting her finger on Kyo’s chest.
“…Sure,” says Kyo, shrugging.
[Tojisa City/ The Burger Joint]
Kyo and friends are seated at a fast food restaurant, enjoying themselves a simple order of French fries and a hamburger with a large cup of soda.
“Now, as for right now, our school is closed, and I don’t know when the fuck it’s going to open again,” Explained Shina before taking a bite out of her burger.
“Did most people make it out of there?” questions Kyo.
“Surprisingly yeah, thanks to the SOLDIERS you didn’t have faith in,” replies Shina, rolling her eyes at Kyo. Kyo rolled his eyes back at her and stuffed a few fries into his mouth.
“Of course, lives were lost…but it could’ve been way more worst. Most people already evacuated before most of Tojisa got fucked up,” says Zack.
“Good thing that blue suited warrior saved the day,” says Zeke before taking a huge bite out of his burger and stuffing a handful of fries into his mouth.
“…Damn Zeke, did you ever get on that weight plan I told you about?” says Shina, sending a curious look towards Zeke.
“…Uh, yeah?” says Zeke.
“Hmm…so what meal plan are you on besides what you’re eating now?” asks Shina.
“…Umm…I think it was…l-listen, that’s not important right now! The important topic is that the Assassin Enforcers were once again, near the brink of death,” replies Zeke.
“Whoever that person is, he or she can be a great help to Assassin Enforcers. The Calamita Team has 3 members, Giga has 3, and the S.E.AL. actually, has 4 members! Two is not looking too good right with the attacks getting bigger and bigger lately,” says Zack.
Kyo continues eating in silence, as Shina looks at him with a curious look on her face before continuing to eat herself.
“…Hey, I never asked you Kyo. Where were you after you left? And what exactly happened to your bike?” asks Shina.
“…One of the solar bots trashed my bike. That’s how I got the scars,” replies Kyo.
“R-Really?! Holy shit!” says a shocked Shina.
“Luckily one of the soldiers swooped down and beat it down before it could come after me next. After that…I had to uh…just walk home. Long walk too. And my phone was out of battery, that’s why I couldn’t answer,” replies Kyo.
“…Huh…well ok then,” says Shina, shrugging and picking up a fry.
[Dynasty of Spheres H.Q./ Motakai Noshino’s Office]
Motakai Noshino is seated at his desk full of stacked papers, including many family photos on his wall, including a larger portrait of him and Kimiko smiling and holding hands. Motakai was signing papers while Arata and Harumi were seated in front of Motakai’s desk, patiently waiting for Motakai to finish. They both had quite an number of bandages mainly on their cheeks and arms. Next to the two was Kimiko, standing there, arms crossed, looking annoyed at something, possibly Motakai since her eyes were locked on him.
“…Motakai can you fucking start?” says Kimiko.
“…Yes dear. Sorry for making you all wait,” says Motakai, slowly setting the pen down.
Motakai pulls out a long black stick from under his desk. Motakai sets the long black stick standing on his desk and presses a small button on the top of the stick. The stick stretches out two and reveals a hologram monitor. They all witness Nexus’s conversation with Arata. Arata watches in anger, as everyone else looks focused, observing the footage.
“…I know that voice clearly. It was the young guy who stole Zacky’s morpher after he was killed,” says Harumi.
“So, it was him…” says Kimiko.
“Damn guy wanted to be a hero and start joining the soldiers in the mission,” Says Arata.
“Interesting. Harumi, do you remember what he looked like?” questions Motakai.
“…Yes, he had red hair and a silver jacket. Green eyes…cannot remember anything else, though,” replies Harumi.
“Could you get a name?” questions Motakai.
“Could not gather a name,” replies Harumi.
“Ok, so the kid had red hair with a silver jacket and stole Zacky’s morpher. Going to get to work on it right now. Harumi, come with me,” says Kimiko before walking out and slamming the door.
“…Did you do something Motakai? She slammed the door pretty rough,” says Harumi.
“…I forgot our anniversary was today…” says a saddened Motakai, lowering his head.
“Shame,” says Arata, shaking his head.
Harumi gets up and exits the room, leaving the brothers alone.
“…So, what’re you going to do now?” questions Arata.
“…I’ll take her out shopping for the most expensive stuff…unfortunately,” replies a saddened Motakai.
“I feel bad for you bro. Do that, and she’ll repay with you later tonight,” says Arata.
“I hope so,” replies Motakai, scratching his head.
[Dynasty of Spheres H.Q./ ???]
Kimiko and Harumi are seated in a dark room, watching a large monitor with many faces of people with red hair.
“Ok Harumi, where is he?” says Kimiko.
“…I need ages 20-25. He looked to be around me and Arata’s age,” replies Harumi.
Kimiko rolls her eyes and presses a button on the remote in her hand. The number of photos drastically decrease.
“…. There! Top left. It’s him,” says Harumi, pointing at the screen.
Kyo Hayashi’s image is shown before them.
“…Let’s see…he’s in his twenty’s like you…resides in the suburban area of Tojisa City with his mother, who’s a bank manager…and is studying to become an engineer…interesting…and pretty young man I’d say. Harumi, I think you’ve found your soul mate,” says Kimiko with a smirk.
“Don’t talk reckless sister. Now, what should we do next? Should we head to his home or what?” questions Harumi.
“…Hmm…” hummed Kimiko, putting her two fingers against her lips, thinking…
[Tojisa City/ Burger Joint]
Everyone has eaten. Kyo and his friends have just exited the restaurant as Kyo quickly walks away towards where the destruction took place.
“…Aye! Kyo! Where’re you going so suddenly!” shouts Zack.
“I’m going to take some photos of the destruction that took place!” replies Kyo.
“You’re not a fucking photographer, though!” shouts Shina.
“Don’t worry about me! Go chill at home or something, I’ll call you guys later,” Replies Kyo, running off.
“...Dammit, Kyo’s been acting weird lately. Is it me or what?” says Shina.
“…Yeah, I think you’re right,” says Zeke.
“…Eh, let’s go home,” says Zack, walking away. Zeke follows, but Shina looks on at Kyo running off with a worried look on her face.
…Kyo…why are you so interested in this…? thought Shina.
Later, Kyo ends up on top of a tall building, arms crossed gazing at the destruction section of Tojisa City from afar. Kyo looks at the morpher in his hand and holds on to it tight, as his hair blows in the wind.
“…Wasn’t long for you to find me…huh?” says Kyo.
Kyo looks forward, gazing at the destroyed city. To whom Kyo may be talking about exactly? It was none other than Harumi, seen behind Kyo from afar. She had an angry look on her face as her hair blew in the wind.
“…Kyo Hayashi, you must turn yourself in. It’s only right that you do so,” Ordered Harumi.
“Not happening,” replies Kyo.
A ringtone blares and Harumi quickly pulls out her cell phone and places it to her ear.
�
�What’s up?” says Harumi.
“Harumi, we have solar bots coming down to the destruction zone of Tojisa City, near where you two are,” says Kimiko through the speaker.
“Are you kidding me?” says Harumi, rolling her eyes.
“Time to have fun again,” says Kyo with a smirk, attaching his morpher on his right wrist.
Harumi and Kyo look up, finding the Solar bots falling from the sky from where they are located.
“Just as I found you too…” says Harumi.
“Don’t worry about that sweetie. Shouldn’t you be in a hospital bed right now? I’m sure you’re still banged up,” says Kyo, turning around to face Harumi.
“…I don’t know what your deal is with us, but at the same time, I could care less right now. You best turn yourself in Kyo Hayashi, or else,” says Harumi.
“…Oh my, threatening the very man who saved your life,” replies Kyo, smirking and shrugging.
“Just who the hell gave you that morpher in the first place?!” says Harumi, appearing very angry.
“I honestly don’t know, but in the end, I chose to save the both of you, and that’s what matters I guess,” replies Kyo, “I will tell you this, though. Both you and Arata are the reason for the destruction of the cities, and the lives of everyone!”
“What?!” says a shocked Harumi.
“Too many times have the both of you made risky and stupid decisions that resulted in mass death of civilians and your own soldiers! I cannot respect those who don’t even show respect to their fellow comrade. I’ll never join you guys, ever!” shouts an angry Kyo.
“I guess it’s come to this. I must drag your dead body back to base then since you’re clearly pissing me off,” replies Harumi, “Aqua, Enforce!”
Harumi transforms into her respective battle armor, and Kyo looks impressed at the transformation. No later does she transform, Kyo places his two fingers on his morpher, and his body from the head down glows a dark blue. Kyo’s eyes turn bright red, and a blue misty aura forms around him. Seconds later, the dark blue light covering Kyo’s body shatters from his body like glass, and Kyo is transformed into his respective battle armor.
“Now, let me get rid of the bugs,” says Kyo.
Kyo charges a blue energy ball in his hand. He next, throws the ball high into the air. This energy ball aims at the solar bots descending from the sky. Harumi looks up and soon looks on surprised to find the solar bots ultimately destroyed by Kyo’s attack. A large explosion takes place as debris falls from the sky. Harumi looks back forward and witnesses Kyo revealing his muggy smirk as if he was far more superior than her. This angered Harumi deeply, as she then prepared herself for the new soldier. Kyo looked on surprised to see Harumi now angered, but his smirk soon turned to an angered face, for now the both having the intent to kill, with no obstacles now in their way…
Chapter End
Chapter 17
Nexus vs. Aqua
The showdown has begun. Nexus, vs. Aqua. The two stood there for quite a moment, and even birds were circling above them, watching who will strike first. Harumi strikes first, bolting towards Kyo and punching him in the face, causing him to go flying and crashing into a torn building. Harumi then quickly flies into the air and fires off a round of energy shots into the torn building Kyo crashed into, creating a cloud of smoke. Harumi keeps firing, but seconds later, Kyo flies out of the large puff of smoke and bolts towards Harumi, successfully punching Harumi in the face, causing her to, this time, go flying and crashing into a torn building. Now it was Kyo’s turn. Kyo opens his left hand forward down at the torn building he sent Harumi in. Kyo next fires off a large blue electrical energy ball. Meanwhile, Harumi quickly gets back up inside the dark building and sees a bright light coming her way. Harumi blasts open a hole in the building and quickly flies out, avoiding a massive explosion. Harumi then flies up and charges towards Kyo fast, and from there, they both collide fists, causing a shockwave upon impact. After they clash their fist, they throw punches and kicks at each other at alarming speed. They looked evenly matched, evading both of each other’s punches and kicks. Harumi, however, gets the upper hand, punching Kyo hard in the face, but Kyo quickly returns the favor back at Harumi even harder.
From there, they throw powerful punches into each other’s faces continuously. Each blow they sent to each other’s faces, a shockwave emitted around them. Kyo, however, ends this punch-out by abruptly grabbing Harumi by the throat and forcefully throws her body down, soon crashing to the ground. Kyo bolts down with his foot, ready to smash his foot into Harumi, but Harumi quickly rolls and jumps out of the way, making Kyo smash his feet into the ground, creating a large hole on impact. Kyo then charges towards Harumi and throws rapid punches and kicks at Harumi, but Harumi continues flying back, swaying her head and body left, right and under, evading Kyo’s swift attacks fast. Harumi suddenly has a more focused look, and quickly head-butts Kyo, knocking his body back and stopping his fast movements abruptly. Harumi then attacks back by punching Kyo hard to the stomach, before then kicking him in the face, making him skid hard across the ground. Kyo’s body soon stops and lays there motionless as Harumi quickly goes to charge a large yellow energy ball out of her hand. Before she could throw it, however, Kyo quickly hops back to his feet and bolts at Harumi fast. Harumi had no time to react, and Kyo erects his left wrist-mounted beam sword and swings, slashing Harumi to her chest, causing sparks to fly out of Harumi’s armor. Harumi screams in agonizing pain as she gets sent flying back and crashing into a large pile of rubble. Kyo next charges towards the large pile where Harumi was sent, but seconds after, Harumi bolts out of the pile with both beam swords in her hands. Kyo’s eyes widen and see he has no time to react now. Harumi successfully slashes Kyo twice to his chest before kicking him back, causing sparks to fly out of Kyo’s chest armor. Kyo is sent flying, but he can use his feet as brakes, stopping his body from going any further back. The both then abruptly stop, staring at each other silently from afar, breathing hard, with sparks continuing to fly out of their chest from the damage of their armor.
“…I must say…you’re truly skilled…Harumi…!” says Kyo with a smirk.
“…I can…say the same for you…newb,” replies Harumi with a smirk.
“…To be honest…when I received this power…it’s like I’ve fought with this power all my life. Had that not been the case, you could’ve handled my ass easily,” says Kyo.
“…Listen…just turn yourself in before you get yourself in more trouble…” replies Harumi.
“Why the rush? I’m just getting started!” says Kyo.
“…Surely you have a mother you love very much, right?” questions Harumi.
“…What are you trying to say?” says a curious Kyo.
“I know all about you Kyo. You’re close to becoming a certified engineer, and your mother makes quite good money. Surely you don’t want her to find out that you’re out here playing life or death every day,” replies Harumi.
“…Listen, I’ve been given this power for something you just won’t understand. One day, you’re going to thank me for this,” says an angry Kyo, pointing at Harumi while walking towards her.
“…There’s no getting through to you…I guess I’ll have to really knock some sense into you,” Replies Harumi, walking forward towards Kyo while shaking her head.
The two were ready for round 2, but as they walked towards each other, a beeping sound came from Harumi.
“…Dammit, what is it Kimiko?” says Harumi.
“Shit is not good right now. West Zone of Kamati City is getting beat down by yet another new solar robot. The soldiers are getting their ass handed too, so Arata is going to have to assist them,” reports Kimiko.
“Seriously?!” says a shocked Harumi, stopping. Kyo stops, looking confused.
“Oh, and please get out of the way because there’s another huge target arriving right above you guys,” replies Kimiko.
Harumi looks up and is wide-eyed at what she finds. Kyo
looks up as well and has the same reaction. They both quickly jump back, as a figure crashes hard into the ground, creating a crater. Kyo and Harumi look on quietly to find a new, destructive solar robot. It appeared to be a male muscular humanoid. He had bright red eyes and long red hair and wore only long red baggy pants, gold boots, black wristbands, a gold belt, a glowing red ball attached to its chest, and a large red gun attached to its back. What was more shocking by how much this man resembled that of a mere human, was that his skin was green…
“You’ve got to be shitting me…!” says a shocked, yet irritated Harumi.
“Harumi! I’ll handle this guy! You try to scan to send information back to your boss,” says Kyo, suddenly charging towards the mysterious humanoid.
“You what?!” says a shocked Harumi.
Kyo bolts towards the humanoid and attempts to throw a punch at him, but the humanoid catches Kyo’s fist easily, which shocks Kyo, before the humanoid then sends his knee crashing towards Kyo’s stomach hard, followed by then throwing him up into the air. Harumi quickly presses a button her left side helmet, as she scans the green-skinned humanoid.
The humanoid flies up into the air to attack Kyo, but Kyo stops himself in the air and quickly fires a large blue energy wave at the humanoid. The humanoid easily evades the energy wave, and Harumi must quickly fly out of how to avoid the energy wave as it crashes hard to the ground, creating a large explosion upon impact.
“Dammit…! This guy cannot control his power…!” says Harumi, looking up at the humanoid and Kyo from a safe distance.
The humanoid gets close to Kyo and throws a swift right kick his way, but Kyo blocks the humanoid’s attack with his forearm, and kicks the humanoid to the stomach, pushing him back. From there Kyo throws a round of punches and kicks at the humanoid before smashing his elbow at the humanoid’s head, shooting him crashing to the ground. Kyo quickly lands back to the ground and charges after the humanoid, but the humanoid quickly gets back up to its feet and bolts towards Kyo even faster, successfully punching Kyo square in the face, sending him flying back and crashing into a building.
