Chapter17: A new legend begins

Three months have passed since Kibar left his family behind.

While there has also been no sign of the brutal warrior who left at the absence of Kibar.

Meanwhile Shirogane and Hikaru have continued their training, with no sign of the unknown archer.

And being over the time limit the two warriors were on edge of when Uzunami will strike next...

It could be now, tomorrow or even a week from now the warriors were left unaware of when their lives will next be in danger.

A red cloud like light enveloped the day sky, as scarlet rain began to pour down so did two unknown warriors.

And soon after they appeared on warrior's peak, two warriors cloaked by torn hoods made of cheap cloth.

But for the first time ever since Kibar's arrival on earth Shirogane and Hikaru were equal to all those who find themselves to be members of the red empire.

A cloak fell to the ground revealing a immensely muscular brawler wielding two meteorite gauntlets on either hand of a similar design to Kenta's.

While the other warrior remained still and silent, even their breathing made no sound.

"So the red empire are finally bringing their members to earth once again" claimed Shirogane as he began to stretch.

But Hikaru warned "I wouldn't be so sure, have you seen their clothes and armour do they look like someone who would be under Uzunami's rule".

Shirogane answered while finishing his warm up "I guess it really doesn't matter for now they want to fight we can find out who they are later".

And finally the girl moved although no one noticed not even Hikaru...

Then suddenly mist began to devour Hikaru separating him from his ally, and forcing him into a battle with a ghost.

Meanwhile Shirogane was the one to initiate his own battle, wasting no time he put himself within close quarters of his opponent.

Both of them being brawlers would seem to make for a equal fight.

But it was made clear that the gap between their skill was high when Shirogane broke his opponent's jaw off with the opening hit.

It was impossible for Hikaru to track the movements of his opponent as she used the mist to her advantage allowing her to attack repeatedly without any cause to worry for her own safety.

Hikaru's eyes lit up as what seemed to be electric swarmed over his pupils, and soon he could see the signals travelling throughout everyone's bodies.

This included Shirogane and his opponent, and Hikaru's own ghost like opponent.

Hikaru soon gave himself the advantage as he took hold of the mist covered warrior, throwing her outside of the fog.

While he also made a dash outside of his blinding cage to meet her.

But she was no where to be seen but her voice although faint could still be heard "the empire still has a few more obstacles to clear before coming to earth so ignore us and let us pass by".

Hikaru finally saw her thanks to the use of his new technique electric perception.

And now knowing where she is Hikaru leapt into the sky.

She soon caused Hikaru to be enveloped by a cloud of dense fog, but this did not stop him.

As he took hold of her ankle he used the little time he had to disconnect it from her leg.

Ripping her foot off and throwing it to the ground in which they soon dropped too.

And once on the rough terrain of warrior's peak, Hikaru let his curiosity lead his words "so you're saying that your not a member of the red empire?".

And so she answered while searching for any escape into the mist "yes me and my brute of an ally over there abandoned the empire in search of founding our own place in this messed up universe".

Hikaru looked across to Shirogane and said "well it looks like you won't be travelling together again".

Shirogane's brawl with the newly arrived warrior had lead to a bloody mess but not a single drop was Shirogane's.

Already having broken his opponent's jaw it became too late to talk this one out.

Shirogane merciless punch collided with his opponent's own fist but the opponent's arm was took weak...

And forced to split in two allowing for earth's guardian to move in closer.

And now closer without a second thought Shirogane ripped into his enemy's chest, and eventually stepping on the open wound and forcing the brute to the ground.

And now the brawler unable to move and severely fatigued was left at Shirogane's mercy...

Shirogane then launched his arm straight through the brawler's skull forcing his body to split in half.

And through the disfigured corpse, Shirogane looted and took the only piece left unbroken, one of the meteorite gauntlets.

Placing it on his right fist Shirogane rushed to aid Hikaru, whose opponent fled into the unknown.

Shirogane began to mock Hikaru for letting her escape but Hikaru shouted out in frustration "i did learn something, Uzunami's empire is crumbling we just fought against two deserters, and she also told me that the empire is still completing other tasks so we still have time to find Kenta".

"I'm not even sure if that's a good idea after what happened, what if he found Kibar its not like us two can work together" Shirogane mentioned.

Hikaru gave answer to his once enemy's worries "well we need them both even if we have became strong enough to rival some of the best within the red empire, Surak and Uzunami is another story and what if we leave earth again are you gonna leave your family alone again?".

Furious Shirogane argued "your not thinking of letting that beast look after and protect my family are you?".

But Hikaru gave no emotion and only logic "I'm just saying that if you leave and the red empire attacks in your absence wouldn't it be better to have someone strong to protect them?".

Shirogane didn't argue this time and agreed reluctantly.

Soon after night took over earth, in which the rivals decided to camp out one last time at warrior's peak.

Meanwhile the escaped warrior only a few hundred miles away from warrior's peak inside a cavern, thought to herself so who would of thought I'd find you here brother I'm sure Lation would welcome me back as a warrior if I told him.

Soon the sky lit up with uncontrollable amounts of overload energy, and wounded beasts cried out in agony.

This was Kibar who had settled on becoming the beast everyone thought him to be.

Mastering hunting he killed and fed himself on bison for the past three months.

While also learning the many ways in which animals travel, hunt and survive out in the wild.

And in doing so Kibar had tamed his brutal beast like nature.

And finally the master who abandoned his students...

Kenta had not been seen by any of his students for the past three months not even Kibar.

But Kenta wasn't wasting time during these three months.

As he had been fighting off the red empire's scouts mercilessly slaughtering each one that he encountered.

But finally they stopped for some unknown reason.

And since Kenta had not seen any new arrivals on earth until the two on warrior's peak.

In which the brutal warrior decided it was time to locate all of his students.

Finally dawn came and with it the arrival of both Kibar and Kenta on warrior's peak.

Waking up to their missing allies both Hikaru and Shirogane leapt up onto their feet caught in a state of shock.

As questions ran through both of their minds, but leaving them unanswered Kenta took lead.

"So two members of the red empire arrived here yesterday, where are they now?" the brutal warrior questioned.

Shirogane having no respect for his father retaliated "not like you have the right to know since you abandoned us all, you went missing and now you want all the answers... but if you must know I killed one of them while the other escaped".

Although Kenta did not react the way a father who was treat with disrespect normally would.

He shown happiness at hearing of his son's success.

Simply answering his son with "lets go then, back to the temple where I will give my final lesson this time on the monstrous tyrant known as Uzunami akane".

And as three days pass, the warriors travelled through earth's outskirts infested with the outcasted humans and finally reached Torino's temple although some of it was unrecognisable.

Newly reimagined the temple, held up by clear white pillars while also having a dedicated space in the back for special guests such as kiren and zeons.

And while all of the students resided inside the temple, master Torino stood outside in the newly built fighting grounds placed at the back of the temple.

The kiren known as Aro and Sorin were sparing, and while it looked like Sorin had became Aro's equal no one can ignore the fact that Aro had lost his right arm.

Sorin threw his right arm backwards and spat chaos energy out of his palm.

Until eventually that energy moulded itself into a sword of chaos energy a chaotic saber.

While Aro left no room for an attack as he sling shot his arm into Sorin's gut but not before Sorin stabbed Aro cleanly through his back.

And with that Sorin had showed his new mastery of fighting like a zeon and not a kiren.

"So you've all returned I see, welcome back son" spoke Torino.

Kenta responded "And I see Sorin has grown to be a warrior in which he can fight against any zeon that he might come across".

Shirogane tried to greet his adopted father but Kenta stood in the way deciding it better to rush straight into his final lesson.

He called for a meeting with everyone...

And so only twenty minutes later everyone sat down in the training grounds, the most promising students, Kenta's students, the allied kiren and zeons, Torino and finally Kenta himself.

All of them awaiting to find out what's so important that all of them must be present to hear it.

Until Kenta finally spoke his voice filled with rage of the past "Uzunami akane or more commonly known by his titles the third kronen god and the red emperor, this zeon is one of the strongest zeons in my generation, only weaker to one... my brother Genshi, and while it seems impossible to kill him his weakness lies in his powers".

The room became sunken and doubt filled the minds of everyone who heard Kenta's speech until his next words came... "The mutation mark, the enhancement that allows someone to shapeshift their body into that of another and its other version is called the god mark, only one can be made in each universe but that one enhancement can be split making it weaker and so the five mutation gods each hold a fifth of this power Uzunami included".

Shirogane hastily questioned his father "so how does knowing that help us kill him?".

And while everyone else was thinking the same it was only Shirogane who had the confidence to stand his ground against the brutal warrior.

Kenta gave an answer swiftly to his son "Okay so Uzunami's god mark holds the genes of Azul a member of the pierces race, and while this gives him the advantages of this race it also gives him the weaknesses, if we know how to kill Azul we know how to kill Uzunami".

And soon the doubt turned into belief...

Belief that they could actually kill the red emperor.

Kenta continued his speech not allowing for this hope to fade "but were not enough to fight a whole empire of zeon warriors so we must recruit others to our cause, my son has already decided that two members of the red empire can be persuaded to join our side Daku and Miari kurai, although were gonna need more then just them I will ask all of you to go on your own recruitment missions and we will all return with new found strength".

And so whispers and thoughts flooded the training grounds until Torino stood up and gave his own speech "thank you Kenta for finding a way for earth to survive, and now its our turn to do our part so stop your whispers and begin gathering your supplies were all leaving".
