There have been 3 Worlds on earth.

Upperworld - is for a good soul, Angel, and God.

Middleworlds - is for Humans, Supernatural creatures, and Animals.

Underworld - is for sins soul, Devil, Monster, and Demon.

And war happens between the Demon and Angel never ends. The battle starts when Demons try to conquer the Middleworld, and Angels are the ones who are powerful enough to stop the Demons while Humans and Supernatural Creatures they can do is assist the Angels.

Decades turn into a Century, the Century turns into Millennium, but still, the war never ends. The human race is almost gone because of the war.

Until at age 4573, eight warriors appear to save the world. They name themself Zodiac Warriors.

One of the members was a tall man with Brown Spikey hair called Sun - The Monkey King.

A mid, Woman with red hair named Chihane - The Flame Tiger.

A man with purple hair named Bora - The Intelligent Rabbit.

A tall man with blond hair named Jack - The Flash Horse.

A small girl with light black hair named Neyumi - The Earthquake Mouse.

A girl with light blue hair named Kanon - The Blizzard Sheep.

A buff man with green hair named Rokuro - The Breakers Ox.

And they're led by a man with white hair named Ryu - The Spiritual dragon.

The Zodiac Warriors side with the Angels to defeat Demon King, Belial force. With Zodiac Warriors by Angel's side, the war can be seen at its end. Years by years, The Demon army was being pushed back.

Until their last mission, the last stronghold of Demon King. The Zodiac Warriors team leader, Ryu, is preparing for the next attack. Ryu told the allies to go all out because he knew Belial couldn't go easy this time. There will be more sacrifices this time.

Their attack at night, everything went well like another attack, but this time Azazel, right-hand Belial, and Belial is there. Right-hand Belial wipes out most of the army just with one single blow. 7 of Zodiac Warriors is fighting with Azazel while Ryu fights Belial alone.

Belial tests Ryu's power by himself. Demon King gives Azazel a sign to fall back to the Underworld while destroying the whole Middleworld into dust. When the Azazel fell back, the army cheered for their victory, but they didn't know that was their worst luck.

Belial floats to space and charges the attack and is ready to launch. Ryu screams to his allies to take cover to brace for the impact. The Zodiac team knows what their leader wants to do, they try to stop him, but it's too late.

Belial makes a second moon with his Darkness flame and fires down to the Middleworld. Ryu decides to protect the world. He must use all his power inside him; Ryu turns into Spiritual Dragon, expands as Ryu's wing is more significant than the world itself, and covers the whole world with his wing.

The impact is so powerful that it shakes Upperworld, Midleworld, and Underworld numerously. Belial told Ryu how long he would protect the world as Ryu told Belial that he and his team would save this world as long as they lived.

Belial laughs and places curses at All Zodiac members except Ryu. Belial gives them what they wish. The demon lord told them they could live as long they wanted and watch the world end with them; while Ryu is the one who still covers the Darkness flame moon has been told by Belial that the Moon can't be destroyed as long he lived.

Belial disappears in a dark portal that leaves Ryu to protect the world from the deadly Moon. The Leader of Zodiac Warrior told the world that there is still hope to survive, as he forms into the spiritual shield and locks himself and the Deadly Moon in the sky of Middleworld forever.

After Ryu seals himself in the sky with Belial's withdrawal, Middleworld and Upperworld claim the victory.

The scene covered in white changes the whole screen, then it shows a beautiful white hair mother reading the story to her children.

"Then what happens, Momma?" A small white hair child asks his mother what is going to happen next. That boy lying on the bed with his brother listens to their mother's story.

"Well, with Demon lord retreat, as you know, my dear, we claim our victory for hundred years now." The mother of the two smiles at her children. The black-haired elder child gets up from the bed and asks his mother.

"Do you know what happens to the Zodiac Warriors, Momma?" The mother looks down as she shakes her head.

"No one knows what happens to them after hundred years, my dear." She looks up-facing her children with a smile.

"Then went I grow up, I will find them." The youngest child said with a big smile. The mother smile as she pets her both child on the head with a smile.

"Now you both need to sleep, and you two got training with your father tomorrow morning." Said the mother. Both of the child lying on the bed as their mother covered them with a blanket and said. "Goodnight, my dear."

"Goodnight, Momma."

Both children said with a smile. She switches off the light and closes the door as she walks out of the room.

•Age 5003•

Years later, the same boy with white hair was around 16 years old, walking in the street. He wore a unzip dark gray hoody with a white shirt, black jeans, and black converse style shoes. He also has a weapon warp in black cloth on his back.

He looked at the sky and saw it and the legend stories his mother told when he was just a little boy.

"So the legend is true... The Spiritual Dragon does protect the world with his life." He said while he looked in the sky.

A massive dark moon warp in the sky with spiritual energy around it. The energy almost looks like a dragon wing covering the dark Moon. The energy is also pretty much See-through so that people can see the dark Moon in it.

The boy kept staring at the sky as he felt something inside him, but his stare was interrupted when someone crashed into him; some citizens looked at them and walked away.

"Ow..." He rubs his head as he looks at the one who crashes into him. He saw a small girl with brown hair and single green eyes. She wore rug cloth, and her body had many visible scars on her.

"P... P... Please h... help..." The girl said in tears, but her words mumble almost as she forces her vocal cord to speak. "P... Please... H... Help..." She was begging him again.

The white-haired boy only looks at the girl, and his hoody covers his top half so the girl can't see his entire face.

Then they heard a dozen footsteps running toward them. Citizens around him, some get scared, but most of them run away. The girl that crushes on him also wants to run, but her leg doesn't have the strength left.

He saw a Horse Carriage with many bodyguards stop right in front of him.

"Nowhere to run, brat." Some bodyguards said to the girl making the girl slightly back away.

"Open the damn door, god damnit!" Someone said in the carriage as one of the bodyguards quickly opened to his boss.

The white-hair boy looked at the person who come out of the carriage. It's a fat ugly guy with fancy cloth; almost everything on him is gold and gems.

"I told you you couldn't run forever from me, and now I found you. So tell me, where is your little sister?" The fat man ignores a hoody boy sitting beside the girl as he walks closer. "You both a pain in the ass. I start to regret buying you two. Now come with me and tell me where you hide your sister." The ugly fat man has a lewd face as he continues. "When I found her, we three gonna have a night that will send you to heaven, hehehe."

The ugly man walks closer to her trying to grab her. "Then, when I'm done with you, my boys will take care of you two." His smile gets lewder as he is closer to her. The girl cries in scare as the ugly man gets closer. "Don't be scared because you gonna love it." an inch he is about to touch the girl, and his right hand gets grabbed by the white-haired boy.

"Hey, ugly... you know I'm still here, right?" The boy said with his head down. The girl looks at him in surprise, the same as The ugly man's bodyguard.

"What are you... GAHHHH!!!" The ugly man screams in pain as The hoody boy crushes his hand but still doesn't let go. "H-HELP ME, YOU FOOL!" Said the fancy man toward his bodyguard as The bodyguard rush attack the boy. The girl looks at the boy trying to save her, about to die by this bodyguard.

But unnoticed by them is The boy's weapon on his back start to vibrate when one of the bodyguard touch the boy the weapon starts to fly toward the man who touches the boy, and the weapon moves so quickly and hits the bodyguard on the head and knock the bodyguard on the spot. The weapon starts to move again toward his next victim.

The girl only can hear a scream and saw the body drop to the ground as the weapon moved in a blur in her eyes and almost had a mind on its own then she saw some of the bodyguards make a Magical move.

"Heat Magic Style: Flamethrower!" A Group of bodyguards casts their spells toward the boy, the girl, and the ugly man. But the ugly man smirks as the flame comes toward them. The girl is so scared that she can only close her eyes and braced for the pain or, worse, death.

But after a second, she never felt the pain. As she slowly opened her single eye, she saw, The boy's weapon hovering and spinning right in front of her, protecting the owner and her while deflecting the flame away from her and the boy.

After a second, the flame vanishes. "Thank god I have my fire-resistant amulet." The fat man said in relief as he survived the flamethrower, then the fat man heard the last scream of his bodyguard.

"You know my mother always said to me, respect your elders." The boy said with his's head still down toward the ground as the fat man started to feel hurt again on his arm. "But, she also said, don't give a damn when the elders have trait-like you!" The white-haired boy said as he crushes, even more, the fat man's right arm with his left arm.

The fat man screams in pain. The boy let go of his limp arm as the fat man backed away. The boy held his right arm in the sky with an open palm as his weapon flew toward his open hand.

"GUARD! COVER ME! GUARD!" The ugly man said as he tried to call back up, but no one came because all of them were primarily dead or knockout. The boy slowly walks toward the ugly man, and his weapon warp cloth gets burned off, revealing the weapon type is a spear with red cloth tight at the end of the spear rod.

"WAIT-WAIT, I-I GIVE YOU MONEY AND EVERYTHING I HAVE!!! JUST LET ME GO!!!" The ugly man hits his head on his carriage and looks back at the hoody boy. "You can't kill me! I'm one of 3% of the human population!" The boy stopped, then a smirk appeared on his face. "Humans need repopulation again. You understand that right?" a smirk grows wide as the boy is silent for a second.

"There are 7571 Humans in this world, but for now, only have 7570 left." The boy said. "Losing Humans like you will make the world a better place. Spiritual Dragon, save this world so we can continue to live to fix our mistakes. But you aren't Human. You just a Monster that hides under Human faces." The boy tightens his hand as he speaks again. "You.... hurt and try..... TO RAPE MY FRIENDS! See you in the underworld motherfucker!" He lunches his spear toward the fat guy that kills him on the spot when the spear straight through the ugly fat man's head.

Blood splats everywhere with some piece of the brain as the fat man's body drops to the side with a hole in his head. The hoody boy recalls his weapon back to his arm as he walks closer to the trembling girl; she is scared about what just happened. Then she saw her savior walk to her, but she was not going to lie. She is also scared of him, but she remembers when he said he was her friend.

She closes her eye while her arm covers herself. Then she felt someone touch her shoulder; she wanted to say stop, but her throat was in pain, and she had to force it out.

"S... Stop... D... Don't come.... a... any closer....." The pain in her throat wanted to make her cry, but then she felt something familiar, a hug. It's almost the same hug as she was hugging her sister. It is not that she gets a hug from a pervert whatsoever. It's just warm and gentle. She slowly opened her eyes as the hug broke off. The boy still holds her on both shoulders, and she sees her savior is crying, tears falling off his face.

She still can't see his entire face because the hoody covers his top face. She slowly pulls the hoody off him; she is also in shock as tears in her eye again. The first thing she saw was white undercut hair, a red mark across his left eye. Then her tears also fell off as she saw when the boy opened his tears sky blue eyes. She knows those eyes; she misses those eyes, and then she knows who he was.

"I-I'm Sorry... I'm so sorry... I should save you sooner." The white hair teen cry as the girl suddenly hugs him. She cries in silence as he hugs him tight, tears by tear falling from her face. "I'm sorry, Asuka..." The boy continued with his words as he also hugged her back.

"Y... You alive..... A..... Akira!" The girl named Asuka didn't care about her pain right now; she was so happy her best friend was alive, the fat man was dead, and her sister was also alive. Tear of joy down her face.
