Bettering ourselves

"So… to summarize… Galliun is the only Casualty from the fight… Oji joined the Demons… and… My grandpa… is the Demon king… who wants to take over the world…?" There was silence as the door to the room opened.

"Good afternoon… Mr. Oritsu… Mr. Doyal… i'm here for your Daily check-up and bandage change" Kiyoko takes a deep breath and moves over to sit on his bed. His body is aching. Frederic doing the same. The nurse walked over to Kiyoko first.

"It's a good thing you all woke up when you did" The nurse slowly unwrapped Kiyoko's chest and abdomen bandages.

 "Why?" The Nurse takes a deep breath as the door to the room opens yet again. Kiyatana walking through this time.

"Because of our next mission" Kiyoko looks at Frederic who shrugs then back at Kiyatana.

"We are traveling to the Jayan Archipelago… Continent of the Elves" Kiyoko's eyes widened. Frederic jolting from the bed. The nurse forces them both to keep calm.

"Elves…? Why are we suddenly going there? Don't we humans have horrible relations with other species?" Frederic nods following Kiyoko's statement.

"It's a direct order from the higher ups… or… thats what my majesty has told me… we depart once you fully recover" Kiyoko and Frederic fist bump.

"Yes sir!"

The room was ominously dark. Large chandeliers hanging from a several floor facade. A large table on the bottom level surrounded by 7 dominating chairs.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" The large people's faces were blocked out by shadows.

"We are the Higher ups True… But can't we just defeat this threat ourselves?" The dark red eyes of one of them dominate with massive black wings. Seemingly being controlled.

"No… This is a divine punishment from above… We must not interfere… No matter the cost" there was silence.

"He's not wrong… we can't interfere with destiny… we can use this opportunity to give the humans their confidence back… after the war their confidence has been falling" the large red eyes glare.

"Yes… let's go with that… we can't interfere with destiny…" another one of the dominating figures speaks up.

"Now… let's talk about our next… 'Important' Topic…" The 7 figures look down at a digital table. Frederic and Kiyoko are visible through the screen.

"No Maho Frederic!" Frederic smirks confidently.

"Right!" Kiyoko runs forward to punch Frederic. Frederic goes to block. Kiyoko quickly jolted back from his punch. Spinning around and leaning forward. Kicking Frederic in the face with his heel. Frederic slides back before grabbing Kiyoko's arm. Violently throwing him away. Kiyoko slides on the ground as Frederic lands in front of him. Frederic spins around kicking Kiyoko in the face. Continuing the motion into another kick to Kiyoko's side. Kiyoko manages to block as he falls to the ground. Frederic runs up in front of him and kicks him from under his jaw. Kiyoko flips back and grabs the ground. Using his momentum to kick Frederic back. Frederic grits his teeth and runs forward.

"Kiyoko!!" Kiyoko flips up and smiles at Frederic.

"Frederic!!" Kiyoko runs at Frederic, reeling his fist backwards. Frederic reeling his fist back as well. The two punch each other in the face. Kiyoko slides back as Frederic grabs Kiyoko by his hand.

"You've lost your touch Kiyoko!... You're too used to using your Maho!" Kiyoko clenches his teeth as Frederic headbutts him. Blood splatters from his mouth as Kiyoko grabs Frederic's shoulder. Jamming his knee into Frederic's abdomen. Releasing Frederic's shoulder and throwing Frederic into the ground.

"Where did-" Frederic turns to look at Kiyoko. Kiyoko, floating above him, prepared to punch. An ominous gold glow radiating from his eyes. His long white hair floating behind him. Frederic prepares to block as he covers his arms in thick ice.

"Wait-" Kiyoko punches Frederic as smoke and snow explodes around the two. The smoke and snow settles. Frederic in disbelief as Kiyoko punched the ground beside Frederic. The mysterious glow from Kiyoko's eyes disappears as he stands. Frederic takes a deep breath.

"You used Ice to block my attack… Even though we said no Maho…" Kiyoko stretches his hand up. Frederic grabbing it tightly. Kiyoko pulled Frederic off of the ground.

"You were… Buffed… By your Royal blood… So to say… If I didnt… I wouldn't be awake right now" Kiyoko nervously laughs.

"Oh… sorry…" Kiyoko's ear twitches as he turns. Kiyatana walked up to the two of them.

"Pretty cool fight you two… It was impressive" Kiyoko slightly blushed in embarrassment.

"I'm still practicing my counter attacks…" Kiyatana lightly chuckles.

"I'm pretty sure your counter attacks were better than your defense… come on you two… it's time we leave for Jayan" Kiyoko's eyes widen as he turns to look at Frederic. Frederic smiling with his arms crossed.

"I'm ready!"
