EPISODE 11: THE FORCE AWAKENS IN US

EPISODE 11: THE FORCE AWAKENS IN US

(Yūto as he walks with sora through the forest asks)

OUTDOORS, IN THE FOREST-NIGHT

YŪTO

I've never seen someone like you before, sora.

(Sora looks at him curiously without saying anything. Then yūto continues to speak)

YŪTO

I mean, I still don't understand. From the first moment I noticed you don't have pupils in your eyes does that mean you're blind?

(Sora with his hands behind his head says and at the same time has his eyes closed)

SORA

Sorry we haven't met yet yūto, hehe. My name is sora yamashiro, the blind demon as some pathetic people call me.

YŪTO

The blind demon?

(Sora smiles and looks at the sky saying his)

SORA

Yes, the blind demon, hechee. What a pathetic title, isn't it. You see, the technique I own is called Blind technique and-

(But before sora finishes his sentence, yūto asks)

YŪTO

Blind technique;

(Sora looks at him curiously saying)

SORA

Huh, unbelievable! Are you a demon hunter and do not know the techniques that exist?

(Yūto scratches the back of his head saying uncomfortably with a smile)

YŪTO

I'm sorry.

(Sora takes a long breath and says)

SORA

Don't worry, I don't know them all either. I only know about my own technique, the rest for me is useless. If I possess and master my own technique very well why should I learn the rest? It's pathetic.

(Then sora turns his head towards yūto saying to him)

SORA

You want me to teach you a little about my technique?

(Yūto shakes his head affirmatively saying)

YŪTO

I would be interested to hear my blind friend echehee.

SORA

Huh where did that come from?! Don't call me that, I hate people who call me blind. I want to hit them so bad!

(Yuto then says with a smile on his lips and a drop of sweat dripping from his cheek)

YŪTO

Okay, okay, sorry sora, I was kidding.

(Sora half smiles and starts saying)

SORA

Blind technique is a defense technique. All movements are based on self-control and the peace of mind possessed by the warrior. You take deep breaths and with your soul you can see things that others can't see. It's the best technique for tracking down demons.

(Sora starts up and throws kicks and punches in the air saying)

SORA

That's how you find the demon and decapitate him. You can also better understand the movements of your opponents since the elements of nature such as air, earth and even water help you.

(In yūto's mind come memories of the past like his father's words about the peace he must possess, and training with the old man in the forest)

THE FLASHBACK BEGINS:

FATHER

Fire is a force that can easily drag you out of control. The technique of fire is the technique that almost no one can control, not even me yet. It takes years of practice and effort but most of all, you have to be in control of yourself. If you don't do that, the fire will take control and make you her pawn, her slave.

OLD MAN

You will solidify them on you as I showed you, and the first lesson will end when you find peace of mind within yourself. Then you will learn to make quick decisions and gain the spiritual balance that you lack.

(Yūto comes back from flashback, so he smiles and thinks with his eyes closed)

RETURN FROM THE FLASHBACK OF THE PAST:

YŪTO

Mmm I see, that's why sora at the time of battle was so fast and with such good balance. He had a mental balance even if he lost something valuable, even if he didn't admit it himself. Unlike me who, when I lost my family, behaved with hatred and looked for revenge and death to sow. I'm a pathetic one, as sora says.

(The moment he thinks of all this, sora asks him but yūto does not listen to answer him. Then with a loud cry sora shouts in yūto's ear saying:)

SORA

DO YOU HEAR ME?! Ahhh! Ahhh! LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SPEAK! I OBLIGE YOU.

(Yūto is frightened and grasping his ear says looking at sora)

YŪTO

Sorry sora I was distracted in my thoughts and did not listen to you.

(Sora asks o yūto with Wonder in his gaze)

SORA

Huh?! What are thoughts? What the hell is this, is it something bad?! I KNEW IT! LET'S GO DESTROY IT!

(Yūto replies with a smile while a drop of sweat flows from his face)

YŪTO

It's all kinds of ideas that come to mind. It can be actions that you are likely to perform in the near future or even the words of some important people you met in your lifetime. It can also be various moments of your life that you lived in the past and all this comes to your mind after a long time like images. This is called thinking.

(Sora strokes yūto's head lightly saying his)

SORA

Stupid, stupid yūto. Don't think, thoughts are for the useless. The most basic rule I learned in my training was never to think! only act! ACT STUPID! Thoughts are a stupid thing that destroys your mind. It sucks all the power you have.

(Sora stretches his finger towards yūto as if pointing at the viewers and continues to shout)

SORA

It creates scenarios that don't apply, resulting in you! You like a fool to believe them and lose faith in yourself! You can't understand, you pathetic little man, that your thoughts are ruining life! Because of thoughts you're wasting your time not being able to live ... to live. YOU YŪTO! LIVE IT NOW AT ANY COST! YOUR THOUGHTS MAKE YOUR MIND DIZZY AND DO NOT LET YOU ENJOY HIS BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS NOW! NOW THAT THEY PASS BEFORE YOUR EYES LIKE LIGHTNING!

(Sora calms down and approaches yūto's ear saying to him in a very low voice for no one to hear them)

SORA

While still a very evil of thoughts do you know what it is, yūto?

(Yūto is riveted to listen to sora with all that he says, he also asks in a low voice)

YŪTO

Tell me, sora?

(Sora jumps back and starts yelling)

SORA

YOUR MIND WITH SO MANY THOUGHTS BECOMES HEAVIER! SO HOW YOU GONNA CARRY IT, HUH?! HUH, ANSWER ME!

(Sora continues while tapping yūto's head one last time lightly)

SORA

THAT'S WHY THOUGHTS ARE BAD! DON'T THINK, JUST ACT! Act!

(Yūto says with a smile on his lips)

YŪTO

Okay, Okay, I get it sora.

(Sora starts walking, and so does yūto while at the same time thinking again the words of the old man who always told him not to think but to act)

THE FLASHBACK BEGINS:

OLD MAN

"Don't think, only act!" Those were the words my master always used to say to me; now I say them to you, boy.

RETURN FROM THE FLASHBACK OF THE PAST

(After a little walking sora asks yūto)

SORA

You haven't told me yuto yet. Tell me about the technique you possess.

(Yūto without knowing his own technique says scratching the back of his head and smiling to not show that he is in an uncomfortable position)

YŪTO

Hechehee like? What do you want me to tell you sora, what do you want to know?

SORA

I want you to answer just one question I'm going to ask you.

(Yūto anxious says)

YŪTO

I'm listening carefully.

(Sora tells yūto as they walk through the forest)

SORA

Can a man learn the technique of fire?

(Yūto as he walks thinks and sweat rolls down the sides of his face)

YŪTO

Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad,Bad! Why would he ask me such a question? I don't want to disappoint him, but I can't hide it from him. What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?

(Then sora interrupts him by saying)

SORA

They say that no one can acquire the technique of fire, but. But I'm aiming for it and I want to try! I want to try hard and in the end make it. As my mother used to say, "if you try hard you can do anything. But even if you don't do something, you won't win by all this effort"? Uh what have you got to say yuto, don't you agree?

(Yūto clenches his fist and thinks of his father's words)

THE FLASHBACK BEGINS:

FATHER

Your fire feeds on your emotions. The art of fire is otherwise called the art of emotion for connoisseurs. In other words, fire feeds on hatred, on sadness, on optimism and on Joy. It can force you to do things you don't want, but also give you strength to continue your long journey. This is also why there is no method of teaching it, but for this it is impossible for a man to learn the art of fire. You have to be very strong and know which way you're going.

RETURN FROM THE FLASHBACK OF THE PAST:

(Yūto more clenching his fist says)

YŪTO

Yes! Yes sora! I believe you too! I believe you can! You can learn the technique of fire with proper guidance and training! Perhaps, perhaps one day you will be able to tame her and become her master! Because you deserve it! You deserve such power, sora!

(Sora smiles and raises his fist to heaven)

SORA

Yes! I knew it! Thanks yuto! So I will try hard and eventually conquer it! I'll make her mine!

(Yūto tells sora with lowered head to look at the ground)

YŪTO

I believe in you, sora. You can do this.

(At the same time he thinks from within)

YŪTO

What Have I done! What Have I done! What Have I done! I shouldn't have given him false hope but... but something drew me to give him that hope he needs. Something tells me deep down that he's gonna make it, but it's totally impossible. I shouldn't have told him. What on Earth was I thinking!

(Sora embraces yūto as they simultaneously walk. Sora catches yūto's head and starts scratching his hair saying with a smile on his lips)

SORA

I see thee again, yūto. Don't think! Don't think stupid yūto, hahahahahahaha!

(Yūto looks at him and smiles while he thinks again)

YŪTO

Maybe sora's right. I bet he'll make it, and I'll be with him in whatever he needs me for. Every step he takes I'll be with him. From beginning to end.

(Yūto comes out of sora's headlock and says)

YŪTO

Mmm, okay sora.

(The two children continue to walk through the forest. Until sora hears footsteps. Sora stops abruptly and makes a signal by raising his right hand in front of yūto's face to stop walking. Yūto looks curiously at sora and asks him)

YŪTO

What does it mean, sora?

(While yūto asks sora leaves are heard moving from a bush and a man projects. Yūto goes to approach him shouting at the man)

YŪTO

Man!

(Again sora stops him. Yūto turns his head and sees sora holding him by the blouse he is wearing. So yūto responds with wonder to sora)

YŪTO

HUH?! What's the matter with you, sora?!

YŪTO

What are you doing? What does he think you're doing there?! Let me go, there's only one man and we have to save him!

(Sora leaves yūto and looks at him with grave gaze)

SORA

He's not human. Look beyond what seems a pathetic worm.

(The man continues to walk towards them with somewhat strange and disorderly Steps, walking like a zombie. Sora leaves yūto)

SORA

Sit behind me. it's not advice. it's an order.

(And he advances a little nearer to the man. Yūto looks at sora and says amazed)

YŪTO

What the hell is going on?

(The man has come very close to sora and with a quick movement pulls katana out of his holster that has on the sides in the area of his belt going to kill him. Sora, however, is much faster and manages to pull out his two small axes behind the sheath he has on his back. He takes them off so quickly that the sound of the axes ' blades rubbing against his sheath is heard. Then he tightens the handles of the axes, and bringing his right hand to the left and his unsteady hand to the right cuts off the man's head. The man's head falls to the ground while blood spills everywhere, after a few seconds the man's body falls to the ground. From his neck blood poured on the ground. Yūto starts yelling while grabbing sora by the throat and shaking him back and forth)

YŪTO

WHAT DID YOU DO! WHAT DID YOU DO SORA! WHY DID YOU KILL HIM, TELL ME WHY?! HE WAS ONLY A MAN! YOU KILLED AN INNOCENT MAN, YOU UNDERSTAND?!

(Sora looks at him with a grave and cold gaze. Then yūto alone stops, leaves him and with Wonder responds to sora)

YŪTO

What, he wasn't human?

(Sora sits down looking at the corpse, with his finger takes some blood from the man and licks it. At the same time yūto continues saying

YŪTO

But why would he want to kill us? And we humans are not noticed?

(Sora opens the man's eyes and sees that he is all eye black without a pupil of the eye. Then sora answers yūto)

SORA

There are two theories, yūto. The first is that maybe he's not human and the second is-

YŪTO

Huh, what do you mean by that sora?

(And he turns his head toward sora. Sora responds to yūto while he is still down on the ground and sees the man's eye)

SORA

As I see it his eye is black. There is no pupil of his eye, while at the same time there is no sign that he is a demon. So we conclude that someone else is probably responsible for this thing. That's my second theory.

(Yūto says with surprise in his gaze)

YŪTO

Do you think it's some kind of demon that's responsible for this?

(Sora gets up from the ground and says)

SORA

Very likely.

(With these words a voice starts up and speaks to them)

FEMALE DEMON

That's right, lol. And in a little while comes your turn small appetizers. Swoop down, my dolls, slay the hahahahahahaha.

(Yūto is startled and takes a step back, so does sora, and they take an attack posture with their backs resting on each other. Yūto opens his palm and closes it again to spread his fire up to the elbow. The sound of the fire is heard. Yūto asks sora in a hushed voice lest the female demon hear them)

YŪTO

Where does that voice come from?

(Sora looking straight ahead says)

SORA

I'll track her down in a minute. Hahahaha, I'm not gonna miss this bastard bitch. But first, let's have some fun playing with her toys. I don't think she'll mind.

(People start to project through the forest and sora tells yūto with a sly smile)

SORA

Get ready yūto, move your hands and take out your gun!

(Yūto shakes his head affirmatively as he has a look of determination. When several people were gathered in that part of the forest, sora bends his head and looks at the ground, brings back his right foot and rests, brings forward his body, brings his right hand holding one of the two small axes to the left and his left hand brings it to the right and says in a low voice)

SORA

Beast sound.

(After these words he raises his head and smiles fiendishly saying his last words before attacking)

SORA

It's a very difficult night.

(Yūto tells him with a smile as he too is ready to attack)

YŪTO

And you're happy about that, sora?

(Sora continues to smile demonstratively saying)

SORA

Yes, yes, I'm incredibly happy! I'm glad I'm one step ahead of revenge! That female demon hasn't figured out who she's messing with yet, hahahahaha! I am the king of the forest, the king of death and the two sharp blades! If she had a God's eye, that Petty female demon would see that above me is written the word "death"!

(This is how the battle begins. Sora roars and presses with force to the ground that makes puddle hurls to the sky and falls on two people cutting them in half with his axes. Blood starts coming out of the bodies of the two people as sora does not stop repulsing and killing all the people around him in an impressive way. Then another man comes up behind him and makes a move to kill him. But sora repels his blow with his axe without turning to face him and says in a low voice)

SORA

How pathetic your skills are, you untrained pathetic people. Die!

(The man again makes an attack to kill him. But sora again repels his attack and with a fantastic balance and swiftness cuts off both hands and feet of the man. Then after the man has fallen to the ground sora cuts off his head. Blood begins to fill the ground. Then he looks in front of him and sees a lot of other people coming towards him. She smiles and runs towards them. Back to yūto who has his fire in both hands we see him fighting three or four men at once. He avoids and repels any attack on them in an incredible way. After killing four people another appears, sharply raises his hand from the bottom up holding a katana and goes to cut yūto. Yūto, however, repels his attack and hits him with a fist in the abdomen creating a hole that the internal organs can see. The man then falls to the ground while blood starts coming out of his body. At that moment two other people appear. The former also abruptly raises his hand that holds a katana to slay yūto. Yūto says in a loud voice as he has put his hands down on the ground and is ready to make the fire cycle move)

YŪTO

FIRE CYCLE!

(And with these words yūto makes a semicircle with his feet whence the purple fire comes out. The hand of the man holding katana is cut off and he falls down to the ground. Yūto then puts force into his hands and hurls himself forward striking the man in the face. The man is shot metres away while the second man also holding a katana makes a move bringing katana from left to right to cut off yūto's head. But yūto sees it with the corner of his eye coming towards him and with a sharp movement catches katna with his bare hands. While yūto holds the man's katana another man appears making moves to kill him. Then yūto with speed tightens the blade and breaks it in half. Then he makes a little jump and with a stunning kick with both feet beheads the two people who are in front of him. With his right foot he beheads the man who is on his left, and with his left foot he beheads the man who is on his right. The heads of the two men are flung against the sky and blood fills the ground. at that moment another man comes, yūto Stoops a little and with his foot from where the purple fire comes out he staggers the man who comes towards him. By the excessive force he puts he cuts off the man's legs and the man falls down to the ground unable to do anything. Then other people appear, yūto repulses and attacks in an incredible manner dissolving them. Back to sora who moans constantly helping himself to perceive where the enemies are. It pulls out something like sound waves that don't go very far, but in this way

he can see and in an amazing way avoids the movements of people. As he makes imaginary attacks by beheading people he says with demoniac gaze)

SORA

MORE, MORE! GIVE ME MORE! I WANT MORE BLOOD! BLOOD, BLOOD, BLOOD, BLOOD, BLOOD, BLOOD, BLOOD! Ah, ah, ah, ah! THIS IS NOTHING, I WANT MORE, MORE BLOOD! Hahahahahaha!

(And beheads the people around him, unlike yūto who thinks as he performs imaginary attacks with his feet but also with his hands killing the people who appear)

YŪTO

It seems sora is having fun, but I'm not. We kill innocent hunters who fell into the trap of a demon. Why, why are we doing this? It's not fair.

(As he thinks of all this and fights two people in front of him a third appears behind him and with slow movements takes out his katana, lifts it up and goes to cut him in half. Yūto kills the people in front of him while the third man behind him forcefully lowers katana. Immediately sora with a single Growl perceives the man who is behind yūto. The sound overtakes several people and reaches that man who is behind yūto. Then sora quickly turns his body and throws away one of his two small axes. The axe overtakes all men and stabs the man. So the man falls to the ground and blood starts to come out while yūto turns and looks at the corpse that has on its back sora's axe. Then he looks at sora, meanwhile sora shouts at him)

SORA

FOCUS YŪTO! I SAVED YOUR ASS, YOU OWE ME!

(yūto shakes his head affirmatively saying with a smile)

YŪTO

We have a whole life ahead of us to pay you back, sora.

(After a great battle against men sora approaches yūto and pulls the axe that is on the man's back)

YŪTO

We need to get out of here before more of them show up. Lead me to the demon.

(Sora shakes his head and they start running with their arms backward and with their bodies forward. Running through the forest yūto and sora try to hide from people so sora can track down the demon. So after finding a small place to rest, sora gets a chance. He sits down and with one of his two hands touches the ground. Straight his thought runs through the forest, but he does not find the demon. He opens his eyes and says to yūto)

SORA

I didn't locate her.

(Yūto looks into the forest and sees people appearing. Sora tries to get up but yūto stretches his hand preventing him. Sora says surprised at yuto)

SORA

What is it?

(Yūto says to sora looking at the bunch of people coming towards them with sloppy steps)

YŪTO

Take your time, I'll stall them until you locate her.

(Sora goes to speak but yūto concludes by saying)

YŪTO

Trust sora. You won't regret it, we're a team, remember? Between now and death)

(Sora half smiles and closes his eyes. Yūto has closed his eyes and he is saying to himself)

YŪTO

I have to help sora. If he trusts me, I shouldn't let him down like I did with my family.

(With these words of his come pictures of aiko and mother. Yūto shakes his head saying again)

YŪTO

No! No, not now yuto! Now focus, try not to think but just ... just act!

(He opens his eyes and sees a man in front of him lowering his katana. Yūto half smiles while doing)

YŪTO

Tsk!

(And makes a kick at the man by beheading him. The man's head is thrown up into the sky and blood comes out of the man's neck while yūto says ironically to the other people approaching)

YŪTO

Who's next?

(Yūto lights his fire and attacks the crowd. Meanwhile sora hears only shouts from yūto and blows, as well as heads falling to the ground. Then he thinks inside himself)

SORA

I can't track her, damn bastard demon. Where Are you, Where Are you?

(Then he remembers the words yūto said to him when they met for the second time)

THE FLASHBACK BEGINS:

YŪTO

To him or to her that you made that promise he believed you and loved you, right?!

SORA

Shut up, shut up, shut up…

YŪTO

And when he ran away from you, you lost control of yourself.…

SORA

Shut up, shut up, worm, shut up, I don't want to hear bullshit.…

YŪTO

So you turned into a monster…

SORA

Shut up, you don't know anything, shut up, shut the fuck up!

YŪTO

But not for long, because I believe in you!

(Sora is surprised)

YŪTO

And I'm really proud to see a real demon hunter for the first time in front of me! The faith you have and the hate I had once, until I came out of this maze! I found the balance inside me and now... now I'M here to help you! LET ME HELP YOU FIND YOUR OWN BALANCE! DO YOU HEAR ME?! DO YOU HEAR ME?!

(Yūto stretches out his hand and has his palm open towards sora, as if yūto stretches out his hand towards the viewers and with a sweet smile says)

YŪTO

Together we can, trust me and come with me. Come on, let's live real, let's live starting from now. Why unknown child ... why nothing is lost yet, now it all begins!

(Sora returns from the short flashback and smiles more saying)

RETURN FROM THE FLASHBACK OF THE PAST:

SORA

Hechehee, the loser. If he trusts me I must not disappoint him, why. BECAUSE HE'S THE ONLY MAN AFTER YOU WHO STOOD BY ME! That's why I'm going to make it, I'm going to work hard for you and yuto. Don't begrudge it that someone besides you trusts me and stands by me hehe. I will always have you in my mind and in my stone. This is all about you.

(Then Shu's voice is heard whispering to sora)

SHU

The way is before you sora, follow him and he will never abandon you. And yes, I'm Jealous, a little.

(A tear rolls from one of sora's two eyes saying with a smile)

SORA

What an idiot you are, an idiot. Come on, that's enough.

(And takes a breath saying)

SORA

Here we go!

(His thought runs through the woods. And while yūto repels the attacks of men he monologues)

YŪTO

I'm not going to die. Not now, not today! It's still too early to give up. I have so many things to offer, to know, to live and learn! NOT TODAY!

(And images from his childhood life pop up in his mind. Images like, yūto and aiko playing, yūto, mother and aiko eating together, the unforgettable walks they took by the river and every night they slept together with aiko. Back again to sora whose thought reaches a place filled with corpses and a bright red appears through the Black of the forest. At once he opens his eyes and turns towards yūto, then he sees him trying not to approach people. Sora stands up and grasps his two little axes. With a loud voice and angry sora shouts and runs towards the crowd of people)

SORA

STAY AWAY FROM HIM, YOU WORMS! I WON'T LET YOU TOUCH HIM! Useless! Untrained! FAKE HUNTERS! STAY AWAY FROM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

(As he says all these words he raises the two hands that hold his two little axes and cuts off a man's head. The man's head falls down to the ground and sora steps on his body before he has time to fall to the ground as well. In this way he gets on, jumps and gets into the crowd of people. For a while it looks like people sucked him but sora is heard shouting)

SORA

BALANCE BRATH!

(With these words sora begins to kill people in an impressive way as he has his eyes closed and from his mouth comes out smoke that looks like fog. So he starts killing them with hate in his eyes. Yūto sees him and is impressed, then smiles and takes courage. He also attacks people by beheading them. After a while after sora stops killing people because there is no one left standing he looks at yūto. Yūto still fights two or three people who are left and in a loud voice cries)

YŪTO

FIRE CYCLE!

(He has put his hands down on the ground and with his feet out the purple fire makes a whirr by beheading all the people around him. Yūto when the battle was over walked up to sora with blood dripping from his face and from his hands. When he arrived in front of sora overtakes him saying)

YŪTO

Let's keep going.

(Sora agrees and they start running through the woods. while they run through the forest sora thinks from within)

SORA

What power, amazing. Maybe, maybe he can teach me. He can teach me the technique of fire. Of course he is not a teacher but he does not cease to be a good warrior who possesses the technique of fire. YES, THAT'S IT! MY WAY IS BEFORE ME!

(While they continue to run the two children are heard laughing from the demon)

FEMALE DEMON

Hahahahahaha!come on! Come, my little hors d'oeuvres! Come to me hahahahaha! don't be late!

(And she puts her tongue out of her mouth, but we can't see her face. At the same time the two children continue to run through the forest and kill any man found in their passage. At some point sora again puts his hand on the ground to make sure that they are taking the right direction and continue to run. By the time they reached that place sora was watching. There they only see corpses, walk and approach corpses. Then a man who is still alive cries while lying on the ground without hand and eye)

OUTSIDE, IN THE FOREST, IN THE PLACE FULL OF CORPSES TO-NIGHT

MAN

Get out while it's early! BEGONE, MY SONS! PLEASE!

(Laughter is heard)

FEMALE DEMON

Lol, ara ara. Oops, I missed something here.

(The female demon with her hand catches the man by the head and lifts him from the ground from where he lies. The man, meanwhile, is screaming and has a terrified look. Then she spreads her palm and blows a pink powder into the man's face, thereby hypnotizing him and the man loses the pupil of his eye. Then she lets him down and whispers in his ear)

FEMALE DEMON

Kill them.

(The man turns his head slowly towards the two children and begins to advance with disorderly steps. Sora throws one of the two small axes at the man's head. The man falls down dead and the female demon laughs while through the darkness he appears. She has black hair, white small horns and red color her iris, the (White of the eye) is colored black while one of her two eyes has on it the word "family and wears a yukata with dark colors. Sora takes out the big axe he has on his back while yūto lights his fire. They're ready for the big fight. The female demon puts her hands in front of her mouth and says with irony)

FEMALE DEMON

Hmm, what have we here? Ara ara, two demon hunters what wonderful hechee.

(Sora clenches his teeth and shouts at the demon)

SORA

PREPARE TO DIE, YOU BASTARD! THIS IS WHERE YOUR LIFE ENDS!

(The female demon laughs saying)

FEMALE DEMON

Ara ara, as always polite. That's what the other demon hunters said, but as you can see they had the exact opposite conclusion to what they were saying. Look closely around you.

(The female demon with a sharp step attacks and strikes sora in the abdomen. Sora falls on a cliff that is nearby and yūto as soon as he realizes what has happened is frightened, runs towards the cliff shouting)

YŪTO

SORA! SORA! SORA, ARE YOU OKAY?

(sora gets up, shakes the leaves that are on it, and cries)

SORA

I'M FINE, DO YOUR BEST UP THERE! KILL THAT DEMON! BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T KILL HER, I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF, YŪTO!

(Yūto smiles, the female demon laughs in response to yūto)

FEMALE DEMON

Ara, ara, are you worried about your friend? Don't worry, he'll spend some quality time with my puppets. I'll take good care of him, I promise you. Turns out he wasn't crazy that demon who said a demi man survived. Soon there will be news that all demi people have been slaughtered. What do you say? You're gonna be famous, honey heheehee!

(At the same time sora rises from the ground and sees the said people coming towards him. He takes an attitude of attack with his right foot stretched backward and treads on the ground with the tread, his body bringing it forward while his right hand has brought it to the left and his left hand has brought it to the right. Sora lowers his head down a little and in a low voice says)

SORA

Beast sound.

(And he starts moaning. While he fights all men with incredible skill he ponders)

SORA

I wish yūto is doing better than I am. But here I am again having fun. Uh-huh.

(At the same time the female demon tries to kill yūto with her pointed claws, but yūto repels her every attack. In a moment the female demon stands before yūto's face and blows her hand to hypnotize him. But yūto with the fire in his hands Burns the dust. The female demon smiles and with a step is in front of him again going to kill him with her claws. Yūto repels her blows in an entropodic manner, and in a moment finds the opportunity and burns a part of her face. The female demon is cast down by the power put on by yūto, and striking upon a trunk of a tree, she rises and touches the wound, by this means is healed, and looks with a demoniac gaze at yūto.Back to sora who throws his last little axe and bellowing attacks and kills violently beheading and maiming any man found in his passage. Then he lays his hand on the ground to see where yūto is and takes the road thither. While sora runs towards yūto and kills people yūto confronts the female demon. The Demon is good but also yūto with his hands and feet repels almost all of her attacks)

FEMALE DEMON

You're strong, but not as strong as I am hunter!

(The female demon attacks yūto and with incredible moves tries to kill him. In a moment, in the hour of battle, she closes and opens the palm of her hand creating dust and blows it to the people sleeping on the ground. At once people rise from the ground and attack. Yūto with blood on his face, with torn blouse as he is tired and sweat dripping from his face clenches his teeth. With shouts He attacks, runs towards the people and with his fire kills them. Making amazing attacks beheads people but also in an incredible way repels their blows. The battle is amazing. In the end yūto kills the last living person by hitting him with his knee on the head. The man's head is hurled to the sky and yūto turns to the female demon to ward off the blow, but the female demon is quicker and blows the dust upon her palm hypnotizing him. The female demon laughing satanically responds to yūto)

FEMALE DEMON

Now you're mine, you belong to me. Lol!

(Yūto's eyes turn black without a pupil of the eye, and he looks as if he were asleep. Sora has reached the point where the demon threw it. Then he sees yūto with his back turned towards him, sora cries)

OUTSIDE, IN THE FOREST, IN THE PLACE FULL OF CORPSES TO-NIGHT

SORA

YŪTO!

(Yūto turns his head towards sora, his eyes are black. Sora is surprised, can not believe it and says in a low voice startled)

SORA

Yūto?! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No!

(Sora can not believe that he was saying and approaches him, catches him and shakes him to wake up at the same time he shouts)

SORA

Yūto? YŪTO! YŪTO WAKE UP! WAKE THE FUCK UP! DAMN IT, YŪTO! YŪTO!

(The female demon approaches with satanic gaze saying)

FEMALE DEMON

He won't listen to you.he's mine. I can do with him whatever I want, so stop trying for nothing ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

(Sora takes a step back from his fear and responds to the demon with hatred in his gaze)

SORA

What did you do to him?! NO MATTER WHAT YOU DID TO HIM, I'LL KILL YOU! I WON'T LET YOU HURT HIM! OVER MY DEAD BODY!

(The female demon laughing again says)

FEMALE DEMON

Ara ara, I don't want to fight you. You see, I don't want to get my hands dirty with blood. But there's someone else you want to face you and take my place. Are you ready for a memorable duel?

(Sora is surprised and remembers yūto's words that challenged him to a duel, he also remembers the cruel duel between them. Sora returns from flashback and the female demon bends over yūto's ear and orders him to kill sora)

FEMALE DEMON

Kill him and bring me his head.

(Sora is startled and shouts)

SORA

Stop! STOP HIM! Stop! STOP YŪTO! STOP DOING WHAT THAT BITCH TELLS YOU! Stop! GIVE IT UP FOR THE FIRST AND LAST TIME! Ahhh! DON'T FUCKING DO IT! DON'T DO IT! (The female demon smiles fiendishly and tells sora with an ironic look)

FEMALE DEMON

Ara ara, too late because I just did it hunter lol! Now let's see how much of a friend you are to him. You sacrifice yourself for your friendship or you kill him to survive lol-lol! I wonder to myself, what will be the end of your story?! I have such a big question, I want to see your conclusion lol. It's fun lol how much fun lol how much fun!

(Yūto slowly approaches sora and sora takes more and a step back trying to make yūto wake up)

SORA

Yūto it's me! I'm sora, don't you remember me?! Wake up, I'm the blind kid in the woods! I believe in you that you can wake up as you do in me. And I don't think a demon can make you what he wants! You have courage and kindness, you try to save and protect, Where did those feelings go now?! Damn wake up YUTO! YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON WHO PULLED ME OUT OF THE MAZE OF GRIEF AND HATE, SO... THAT'S WHY I DON'T WANT TO KILL YOU! YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS PATHETIC WORLD I DON'T WANT TO KILL! YOU GAVE ME COURAGE, YOU GAVE ME HOPE GENEROUSLY! HOPE WE CAN CHANGE THIS USELESS WORLD! For this, for this…

(From sora's cheek tears begin to flow as he continues to shout at yuto)

SORA

NOT THAT PATHETIC FEELING AGAIN, I'M A ROCK! AND I DON'T WANT TO KILL YOU! YOU'RE THE ONLY PRECIOUS THING I HAVE LEFT IN MY USELESS, RUINED LIFE! SHU HELP HIM!

(But yūto does not wake up. Sora is one step before he falls on the cliff and yūto who has come very close to him catches him by the neck and raises him high while with his other hand he lights the fire ready to kill him. Starts and plays the song MY FIRST STORY-REVIVER from behind. and sora says with a smile on his lips.

SORA

The first day we met I swore to sacrifice myself for you, yūto. My moment has come. Shu I'm coming to you heheee.

(Inside yūto's mind there is only black until two faces appear. They are his mother and his little sister aiko. Smiling tells him mother)

OUTER SPACE, IN THE MIND OF YUTO TO-NIGHT

MOTHER

Wake up yūto, your friend needs you. Live yūto, live one more day on Earth. Nothing is lost yet.

(Responds and aiko with a smile agreeing with the mother)

AIKO

Yes, yes! You can wake up yūto. We believe in you, we pray for you do the same for yourself.

(Yūto looks at them and says in a hushed voice as his eyes flicker)

YŪTO

Mother? Aiko?

(Yūto begins to cry, filled with tears on his face. The mother says with the smile remaining on her lips)

MOTHER

We will be with you yūto. We'll follow you wherever you travel.

(Yūto wipes his tears but does not stop his tears from flowing from his face)

YŪTO

I know, it's hard to forgive me but-

(Before he has time to finish his sentence, aiko approaches him and takes his hand saying in a sweet voice)

AIKO

Yūto, I have forgiven thee. You're not responsible for our deaths. You did the best you could, but that's enough. Do not grieve and embitter your glowing heart. Because from now on, we'll follow you every step you take, yeah?

(Aiko closes her eyes while she also has a sweet smile on her lips. Then yūto falls on his knees and embraces aiko telling her with tears in his eyes)

YŪTO

I love you. I love you Aiko, mother. You know that, and I will do anything... anything for you, just as you have done for me all these years.

(As the mother and aiko appear, the mother says)

MOTHER

We know it yūto and we will do everything to protect you. We believe in you, but to be perfected you must first believe in yourself. That's why he believed! Believe yūto! BELIEVE AND WAKE UP! THE POWER YOU SEEK IS WITHIN YOU, WAKE IT UP! THE POWER AWAKENS IN US!

(And then says in turn aiko as she disappears too)

AIKO

We'll see each other again, bro. Be strong as ever, as you have been and will be for the rest of your life. Why, to survive in this place. In this dark place called life you have to have faith and strength, something you've had since you were a little kid hehe, yeah?

(Yūto looks before him and sees only smoke. Aiko and mother are lost in the form of smoke. Meanwhile female demon laughs until she hears one voice, it is the voice of yūto)

YŪTO

No! No, I'm not gonna kill my friend! You can't make me anything! You're weak on me, because ... because. BECAUSE I HAVE THE STRENGTH TO FACE YOU! BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN MYSELF! I BELIEVE I CAN, I CAN! I CAN DESTROY YOU, AND THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO DO NOW! Why, why, why the power awakens in us! INSIDE EVERY MAN! INSIDE EVERY WARRIOR! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

(As she says all this at the same time she turns and the music my first STORY - REVIVER becomes more intense. One eye of the yūto of the two is normal, while the other is black without a pupil of the eye. He lets sora down and turns around facing her. Yūto advances a few meters towards the demon while drops of sweat flow from the demon's face and with a look of horror he thinks)

FEMALE DEMON

It can't be! It's not possible! This ... this... this can't be happening! No one wakes from my dust, no one! He how?! How?! Damn it, damn him! How? How? How?! How?! Ahhh!

(The female demon terrified and filled with nerves yells)

FEMALE DEMON

I'LL KILL YOU! PREPARE NOT TO FACE THE LIGHT OF THE SUN AGAIN! Aah!aah! aah! DIE!

(And he attacks. Yūto with absolute calmness and with closed eyes lighted the fire in his left hand. The Demon comes up to him with outstretched both hands to pierce him with her huge claws. But yūto imagines only images of his mother and sister. He sees happy moments spent together. At the same time through the fire appears a beautiful black with red handle from a katana, also has a handguard tsuba (鍔), with a purple fire and a black sheath as the blade is not seen. The Demon has not yet beheld the katana of yūto, and comes in haste to behead him. At the moment when he has come very close to him, yūto opens his eyes sharply, seizes the handle of katana, takes it with incredible speed from its black sheath and cuts off her hands with incredible speed. The blade from katana is white, as is also heard the characteristic sound of the blade from katana cutting off the two hands of the female demon and then the sound of the female demon's hands tearing off and falling down to the ground. The female demon passes behind yūto looking surprised and terrified her hands dripping blood, she screams)

FEMALE DEMON

MY HANDS! MY HANDS! YOU'RE A GODDAMN MONSTER! Monster! THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE, A MONSTER! LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME! LISTEN TO ME, YOU'RE A MONSTER! Monster! Monster! Monster! Monster!

(Yūto makes a sharp movement of his hand carrying it from top to bottom to remove all the blood over the blade of his katana, the blood sticking to the ground. Then he ties with Uwa-obi (上帯) the case from his katana in the waist area and puts it back in his black case that holds it with his left hand looking at the female demon with his head a little bent down so as not to see his face, while at the same time a breeze winds his hair and torn clothes. He says with a serious look then)

YŪTO

You're making a big mistake, demon. We're not monsters, we're people fighting for our future. For a new life. We are weak, fragile people with dreams and hopes. No! No, I'm wrong. We're not ordinary people! We are! We're...!

(Then he stretches back his left foot and paws on the ground with the sole of his foot to get momentum. He then brings his body together with his right foot a little forward and at the same time holds with his left hand the black case from katana while with his right hand he has it placed over the handle from katana ready to pull it. With the thumb of his hand he pushes katana to get out of the case. The similar sound is heard when the blade comes out of the katana from its sheath. So yūto cries with tears in his eyes as he makes a sharp step that creates a puddle in the ground, and behind his left foot the purple fire follows him. This movement is called fire flash, the purple fire follows him wherever his foot goes. So yūto with one step hurls himself towards the female demon to behead her crying and weeping at the same time)

YŪTO

We are! WE'RE DEMON HUNTERS! FIRE FLASH! Aaaaaaaaaa!

(And with these words he cuts off the head of the female demon. The female demon makes sounds that cut off her head and then her head falls to the ground while the similar sound is heard when her head falls to the ground. After a few seconds she falls and her body to the ground. All this is done in slow motion, from the decapitation to the fall of her head to the ground. The female demon drawing blood and moaning pain before dying asks yūto)

FEMALE DEMON

How? How did you manage to get out of my hypnotism?

(The female demon makes the corresponding sounds before dying as well as blood from her mouth)

FEMALE DEMON

What was it that woke you up? Please answer me, little sun.

(Yūto answers crying over her)

YŪTO

I did not go out alone, but I was helped by some invaluable people I had, have and will have in my heart as long as I breathe.

FEMALE DEMON

Who? Who helped you, tell me?

(Yūto having wiped his tears from his eyes and from his cheeks answers with a sweet smile on his lips)

YŪTO

The ones who believed in me that I could beat you. My family.

(The female demon fills with tears in her eyes and says in a hushed voice as she disappears like dust)

FEMALE DEMON

Family. How many years I haven't heard that word. "Family".

(In her mind come images from when she was a child and played with the rest of the children. Here Comes the picture of her father being killed and the picture of three men raping her mother. After that image comes another. Running through the woods with other kids who are demons. Finally a picture of some demon hunter killing some children from her team. Then the screen blackens but something dims, something white lies in the background. So comes one last image that fills the screen with white. The image of a demon hunter with yellow hair and back on his blouse writing in yellow letters in Japanese hunter 猟師, smiling sweetly at her and giving her food to eat. Then this man leaves while the sun rises " SPOILER: he is the father of yūto" the sun has risen and the female demon has turned to ashes and travels wherever the wind takes her. Sora along with yūto filled with blood and scratches on his faces and backs and with torn clothes continue their long journey. Sora as they leave that place tells yūto with a serious look and commanding voice)

OUTDOORS, IN THE FOREST-THE SUN RISES

SORA

YŪTO!

(Yūto stops and turns to sora to look at him)

YŪTO

Huh, what is sora?

(Sora approaches him and kneels before him saying)

SORA

Please, please teach me.

(Yūto is startled)

YŪTO

Sora! What are you talking about? Get up, please!

(Sora cries though)

SORA

No!

(Yūto stops and waits for sora to complete)

SORA

I saw how you fought those people and the demon. I've never seen such power before. You know, it's a great honor to have you as a teacher. I told you I wanted to learn fire technique, but it's hard. But I want to try! I'll do anything for you to teach me! Just teach me, please, please!

(Yūto remembers when he, too, had asked the old man to teach him, and pictures have appeared since. Yūto returns from recollection and goes to speak but sora interrupts him by saying)

YŪTO

Sora-

SORA

My father taught me the basics. I'm not a true warrior unless I learn to master the technique that no one has been able to learn. For this, for this yūto help me please! I'll do anything as long as you teach me!

(Yūto smiles and grasps sora's shoulder. Then sora looks at him, while yūto says with a smile)

YŪTO

Because you want to learn this difficult technique. You know for yourself that it is impossible to learn the technique of fire. What makes you think you'll conquer it?

SORA

I don't care! I'm not like all the other pathetic people in this world. I believe I can... I can change, I can succeed! I believe that the impossible and the impossible can be made possible! Anything can happen as long as you try. Life is short, life is not to be wasted and we must act! To fulfill our goals! So I'll try! I'll try hard!

(Yūto smiles and says)

YŪTO

Mmm, I totally understand. That's why I'm going to do the best I can and stay by Your Side! I will try to be the best teacher you desire, sora.

(Sora after many years smiles truly and a tear rolls from his eye saying again to yūto and rubbing his hair)

SORA

Thank you! Thanks yūto, I knew I could count on you!

(So yūto with a smile tries to stop sora rubbing his hair while he has his right eye closed)

YŪTO

Count on me. Come on, stop now, sora. Stop rubbing my hair, it hurts. Hechehehee.

(Sora stops rubbing his hair and starts moving forward saying with a smile on his lips)

SORA

And you to me, yūto! Don't forget to count on me too!

YŪTO

You got it, my friend.

SORA

Well, today is a wonderful day so we don't have to rush to our next destination. Let's enjoy nature a little. Hehehee.

YŪTO

Mmm, I totally agree, sora.

(Yūto agrees shaking his head affirmatively. So the two children continue to walk together towards the next city as the sun shines above them. At the same time the girl with the orange hair watches them and has witnessed the epic battle. She turns her back and starts running to the next town by another road to warn the elder)
