Old Man Solomon

All everyone hears is a loud slap.

"Do I look like an old man too you!"

Kuragami is flying outside the motel with a large red handprint on his right cheek. He releases screams of agony.

Sky walks up to the young lady.

"Sorry ma'am. He's just a eager kid who don't think things through. I'm Sky. That's Kuragami. Red haired kid is Homura, kid with the sword is Sasaki and the girl is Cherry."

Cherry goes out to Kuragami to see if he's ok.

"I'm Yua. May I ask something? How old are they?"

Sky, Sasaki and Homura are wondering why she wants to know.

"They're 12."

"I see."

Cherry walks in with Kuragami on her shoulder.

"Sorry I called you a old man. I thought you were old man Solomon."

"You mean my Grandpa? He's back at home. He runs the motel but I work here. Say why don't you guys rest here and we will see him first thing in the morning. You guys can stay for free."

Kuragami sparkles.

"I've never stayed at a motel before. Hey Sky can we stay? Can we, can we?"

"Okay fine. But we can't stay here for long."

The 4 Shorai get excited. They all run upstairs and picks a room to stay in.

"Oh and since all of you are staying here you all have to share a room. Sky will get his own room though."

All 4 of them freeze and stare at Yua. They all start screaming with rage.

"HOW IS THAT FAIR YUA!"

"IM A GIRL I CANT SHARE A ROOM WITH THESE IDIOTS!

"THATS A BIT PETTY!"

"HEY OLD LADY WHY CAN-"

Yua slaps Kuragami as hard as she could. She gets pissed.

"Do I look like a old lady to you?"

"Sorry Yua. Can we have our own rooms now?"

Yua grabs a key. She gives it to Kuragami.

"Your room is 102."

"Dammit."

The four of them go to room 102.

"I'll make breakfast for you guys in the morning!"

They all go inside the room and close the door. The room is spacey with a couple closets and a desk. It has 5 beds. This room was made for 5 people. Kuragami takes a interest to the 5 beds.

"Hey guys, if there's a fifth bed, why didn't Yua let Sky stay in this room?"

Sasaki, Homura and Cherry start questioning why. But in the end, the four of them don't pay attention to it.

It's night. They are all tucked in their beds, staring at the ceiling. Sasaki notices a family picture on the wall. It's Yua's family. Cherry notices a sad look on Kuragami's face.

"What's wrong Kura?"

"Nothing. It's just that, my brother. I have no idea what's happening to him right now. He might be in very big trouble."

Sasaki and Homura both start paying attention. Homura tries to comfort him.

"I doubt anything will happen to him. He is one of the worlds strongest Disciple."

"Yeah maybe your right. You know what guys. Let's finish this mission as fast as possible. Then I'll go find my brother."

Cherry and Homura smiles. Cherry is fascinated about the blue glisten in his eyes. They all go sleep.

In a office somewhere in the circus. A clown is on the phone to a anonymous man. The voice is as deep as can be.

"So when will you bring the next batch of fighters to my arena?"

"They will be sent tomorrow boss. You have my word."

"Good. Because if not, I'll bring hell to your circus. Got that Raffles?"

"Yes boss."

He hangs up. There's another person in the office with Raffles.

"Hey kid, tomorrow is the day we deal with those puny Disciples. They're getting prepared to ruin business. Defeat them no matter what. Even if it means killing your-"

"Don't worry Raffles. I got this."

The kid starts smiling.

It's finally morning. The day that the Disciples go and find out what Raffles is up to and try and stop him.

"Everyone come down for breakfast!"

The team comes downstairs and takes a seat at the table. Kuragami is already amazed at the big breakfast.

"Bacon, eggs and sausages! I'm definitely gonna enjoy this."

Cherry looks at him in disgust. Sky smiles and pats Kuragami's head.

"Well you best eat up. All of you. Today is going to be a long day. Plus straight after, we have to go to Solomon. He will tell us all about Raffles Circus."

They all start eating. Especially Kuragami. They all see him eating as much as he can.

Everyone in the town hears a large explosion. The Disciples go outside to check what it is.

"Hey Sky look."

"I see. I sense powerful aura coming from there. And powerful ky-"

"That's my Grandpas house!"

Yua starts running towards the explosion.

"Yua no!"

Cherry runs to Yua to try and stop her.

"I'm sorry Yua."

Sky dashes swiftly to Yua and chops her neck leading to her losing consciousness. Cherry is furious that Sky done that.

"What did you do that for?"

"She would've put herself in danger. We have to think about the towns people first."

"Alright Sky, I'm gonna go see what it is."

"No wait Kuragami you can't fi-"

Kuragami runs straight at the explosion. Sasaki and Homura both follow.

A big figure comes out the explosion following Solomon. It's a big giant, one of the giants they saw yesterday. He's holding a large battle axe.

"This is the perfect opportunity."

Sasaki jumps up and draws his sword. Aura starts powering up in the sword.

"Triple Wolf Hunt."

The aura forms into 3 vicious wolves. The power of the is more than anyone has seen of Sasaki before.

Homura powers up his fire power.

"Fire Eagle."

His fire eagle is as strong as 5 Fire Birds.

"Ice Bullet!"

His aura raises drastically in his right hand. He releases his right arm forward which also releases a speedy beam of ice.

The giant raises aura in his axe.

"The only one that has a chance of beating me, is that man over there."

He is referring to Sky.

All the attacks are about to hit the giant simultaneously. The giant swings his axe hitting all the attacks and somehow nullifying it. Sasaki, Kuragami and Homura are shocked.

"Triple Wolf Hunt is one of my strongest move. How did he just stop it?"

"He stopped our moves too."

The giant smiles menacingly.

"Nature Technique: Emerged Forest."

Trees start growing around the giant. The giant gets tied up by the trees. The trees stop him from moving.

"Nice Cherry. Now I'll finish it. Air Flash."

Sky becomes one with the air and dashes straight to the giant over light speeds. He gives him a fatal blow to the gut. Blood flies out the giants mouth. The blow leads the giant to fly away.

The giant can taste the blood in his mouth.

"Heh not bad."

While the giant is in the air, he grips his axe and charges insane amounts of aura into the axe. He wipes the blood off his mouth.

"Good luck rebuilding the town, that's if all of you are alive to rebuild."

He falls down and slams the axe to the floor as hard as he can.

The floor starts rumbling and many large cracks are forming on the ground. Sky starts to get worried.

"This is bad. We need to somehow stop this quake."

Kuragami crouches and puts on hand on the ground. He takes a deep breath.

Everyone is facing Kuragami's back and they sense a different aura around him.

"Heavenly ice."

No one hears what he says but they sense Kuragami's aura releasing from the cracks on the ground. The rumbling stops. Sky is shocked.

"No 12 year old kid should be able to release that amount of aura. That attack was strong enough to destroy a city let alone a town."

Cherry looks at Sky shocked.

"Then how the hell did Kuragami stop that.

"Impossible. How the hell does a Shorai sto-"

Out of nowhere Kuragami freezes the giant. Only the giants head is unfrozen.

"Fire Fist."

"King of Wolves Slash."

Both Homura and Sasaki attack the frozen body, leaving the giant heavily injured. The giant screams in agony. Kuragami stands up straight again. He scratches his head.

"I guess I stopped the attack then."

Cherry jumps on Kuragami's back and squeezes his cheeks.

"Good looks Kura."

Kuragami and the rest of the team smiles. Sky starts approaching him. He grabs Kuragami by his scarf. He looks angry.

"Hey, next time don't run straight into one of those giants. If I wasn't here, you all would've been dead and the town would be destroyed."

"But you are here so it's all good."

Kuragami smiles to stop Sky from bugging out. Sky let's go of him. He then walks over to the old man.

"You must be Solomon. How are you?"

They both shake hands.

"I'm good thanks to you Disicples. You saved our town from that monster. But I still saw you knock out my daughter."

"I'm sorry Solomon, she would've got herself hurt. It's fine though since Cherry is looking after her. So what do you know about Raffles Circus."

"Straight to the point. Ok. Raffles is a dangerous man. He once defeated 5 Takai at once. He has the potential to become a Yugai."

"Interesting."

"Speaking of Yugai. The mastermind behind all this, is the 5th Yugai Jin. No one has seen how he looks, but the world has seen his strength. All I know is people from the Circus gets sent to a arena to fight to the death."

"Yeah I know."

"You know if you do destroy Raffles Circus, Jin will come and hunt you guys down till your dead."

"Sounds like an enemies threat."

Sky starts laughing.

"Anyways you don't have to worry about us. We will destroy this circus and keep all of you in peace. It will stop the kidnappings aswell."

"Yeah maybe."

"Plus some people from our town are going to the circus to help. But I doubt you will be able to beat Raffles."

"Yeah maybe not. He defeated 5 Takai at once.

"He's ruthless."

"I mean, it's not like I defeated the 10th, 9th and 8th Kizoku to become the 7th."

The whole town is amazed that they have such a figure to defeat Raffles.

The whole team is shocked to hear such news. They're surprised that their first mission is with a Kizoku. But Kuragami is the only one that's a little bit distressed.

"Why did the Kashikoi lie and say your a Takai? And where's your cape?"

"No point in telling you."

"So that means, Yuma."

"Sorry Kuragami. Yuma got stripped off his role and left."

"Left where? Hey Sky, left where?"

"No one knows Kuragami. He just vanished."

Tears start going down Kuragami's face. But he's not crying. Cherry and Homura start to comfort him. Sasaki feels sorry for him, but doesn't show it. He wipes his tears away. He slaps both his cheeks at the same time.

"Alright. I'll think about this after we finish this mission. I'll destroy Raffles Circus and then destroy Raffles."

Sky smiles.

"Alright guys let's get headed to Raffles Circus."

Sasaki wonders why they are going straight away.

"Why so soon. We need more information."

"Don't worry Sasaki. I know that's all the information Solomon will give us."

"What do you mean by that."

"You know exactly what I mean Solomon."

The tension between Solomon and Sky thickens.

"Anyways team, let's go down to Raffles Circus and cause chaos."

Intense aura is released. Many people from the town faint. Large footsteps are being heard.

"So your a Kizoku. That means if I kill you, I'll be one step closer to beating him."

The aura is being released by the giant. He is back up and bloodlusted. He holds up his axe high. The axe is surrounded by a different type of power.

"Earth Splitting, Axe Strike."

He swings his axe down and it creates a large slash aimed towards the team. Sky thinks immediately and pushes the Shorai out the way with his wind. He knows that that was a move that would instantly kill them.

"Air Block."

Sky puts both his arms out and blocks the slash with his Air Block. It creates wind everywhere and the elemental pressure rises.

The slash breaks the Air Block.

"His strength, seems familiar."

The slash then hits Sky on the right side of his body and does fatal damage. It pushes him all the way back leading him to fall and roll on the floor. Blood starts to drip down his right arm. His right side is surrounded by life threatening injuries.

The team is panics and runs to his aid. Expect Sasaki.

"Impressive. Hey what's your name?"

"Rhino. What's yours kid?"

"It's Sasaki. I'll be the strongest swordsman one day. And I'll start by killing you."

Sasaki grabs his sword in his sword holder. He bends his knees and charges his aura. Rhino also charges up his aura. It's clearly overpowering Sasaki's.

Sky looks like he's in agony but still has the energy to shout.

"Sasaki, don't! He has power that you don't have yet."

Sasaki's eyes turn yellow for a second. His aura suddenly raises becoming equal to Rhinos Aura.

"Get ready Rhino, today will be your death day!"
