Zakku Seiji Part 1

Someone outside of the forest's dark reach range was walking around. When he felt this human aura, he looked around and found Zakku and Suduroi fighting with their strong auras.

"W-what are they doing? This is dangerous... a dark troop revived again by a person's appearance. But this dark troop, It's so much different! The dark troop that kid is fighting is the lucky one; this troop has this hot burning aura! The kid can handle and bare that guy's hot aura. But the kid's stuck and trapped by that dark troop's aura! Hey guys... Do you see this?"

the person's ally came towards him and saw the surprising fight with eyes widened and aura released,

"I...I can't believe I am seeing this fight! Hey Ollion, w...who is the person beside him...?"

he pointed to the person using holograph, obviously Jaka Doe. Ollion followed his finger's direction and traumatized by the scary aura and essence coming that Jaka is emitting,

"N...no... It can't be! It's him... Jaka Doe!"

his chains made by his aura appear and show up at the dark battle like a chain jail.

"This... why are my chains appearing suddenly and without my will?! This... This isn't normal! I-its controlling my aura and chains! No, This is Jaka's signature move "Force magic activation!'. We must run for our lives!"

Jaka looks at Ollion off guard, his eyes glanced at Ollie and his ally.

"Ah... sneaky adventurers... Don't think you can escape from me! I never let anyone escape knowing my moves!"

Back to the battle, Zakku's aura is ready to snap Suduroi's neck. While Suduroi's neck is about to get snapped his aura stops trapping Zakku's arm and legs.

"Hrm! To think he'd be able to release his aura in such a humanoid form... How unexpected! So you to... Have an evil spirit! And Jaka, You know what my aura's name is?!"

Jaka still glanced at the 2 adventurers while he listened, "I do... and based on how clearly I can see it, It must be quite powerful!! Based on your aura's reaction, Suduroi seems to agree! Your aura's name is... "Heaven's manifest!"

Suduroi sweated so much it looked like his aura was indirectly attacking Suduroi himself, "Master Jaka, you asked me to fight and test out your archenemy Mr. Zakku Seiji... and I wished to go easy on him... but look at my throat! It's about to snap! One wrong move and he may end my life... shall we call it a day? If you prefer me to keep it up, I may have to get a bit rough. Zakku may end up himself in the underworld waiting to be burned by the fire."

"Sure. I don't mind. Go for it."

Suduroi swapped tables and aura appears from his finger.

"Mmh! Aura bind!"

his aura begins to trap Zakku again, but by covering his mouth to avoid catching his breath.

"H-hot! What is this heat?! I... I have no idea what's happening! Jaka! What is this?!"

Jaka uses only his one eye to look at Zakku, "Zakku! Be a good fighter and entertainer and keep fighting now!"

Zakku struggles to escape, "I-I can't brea..." His humanoid aura turns back to a normal aura and slowly goes back inside him, Jaka already eliminated Ollion and his ally,

"Zakku's aura is going back inside him... As the heat takes your breath, It grows weak! Allow me to tell you what it is! it is an aura-- yet it is not! Zakku! What you have called by yourself "Ora" is but a powerful apparition-- created and formed by your own light and dark ancestors who have been defeated by the hands of me and became fools! and since it fights alongside with you, It is called a... 'Tamashi'!" (Soul in English)

Suduroi increased the heat. "Was it not Aesop Fables who said... "Cold wind makes the traveler keep his coat on... but the sun makes him take them off" care to come out, Zakku Seiji?"

Zakku knew that he was able to talk clearly and had a way to put out the hot aura surrounding him, "Whatever. I'll stay put until I know I'm not a danger to others! It's nice to meet somebody like me, but... If you keep this up... YOU DIE."

Zakku's humanoid aura summoned and it kicked on a puddle behind him and the splash touched the aura and stopped the aura from trapping him.

"Grahhhh! I can't be responsible for what my aura's going to do to you, Suduroi!"

the aura clean cut the tree and with full strength carried the cut part of the tree and surrounded aura on the tree an aimed it perfectly at him.

Meanwhile in the village...

"H-huh?! I hear a tree from the forest there! It must be something evil!"

Zakku's neighbors from the village came and went to the forest, but not fast enough for them to reach the forest because of how far the forest is to the village. The tree became hard and sharp as a metal bar and snapped the tree into half and prepared to attack him. Suduroi summoned a fire "Ora" to surround himself as the aura of Zakku went to Suduroi's range and attacked him. Suduroi dodged the fast attack that Zakku pulled off and walked off.

"Don't turn your back on me Suduroi! Look at me!"

Suduroi sat down beside a tree. "Master Jaka... As you can see, I have tested his powers and indirectly trained him physically."

"..." The human aura went back inside of Zakku and he sighed.

"So you got me, Eh?" he placed his sword back to its sheath and placed his hands in his pockets.

Suduroi crossed his legs and meditated, "Not really... I planned to send you to the underworld. You were more powerful than I expected." The metal-like tree that the aura possessed with its aura burned slowly and became into a liquid,

"What if I hadn't stop my aura, I meant my Tamashi from throwing this bar straight through you?"

Suduroi stood up and went to Jaka and unsummoned his Tamashi. "My ability... the tamashi is known as Suduroi... can melt and liquefy such a hard piece of metal-like tree in midair."

Jaka gave a big thumbs up to Zakku and Suduroi, "Suduroi is like you... proof enough that you need more training to obtain your next ability for your aura that not only need a humanoid form in the real world any longer."

the villagers arrived at the time Jaka and Suduroi vanished and the forest became bright again. Yorihiko, Zakku's neighbor came and wrapped his arms around Yori's arm.

"Wow! Zakku, You're really strong out there!" she attempted Zakku to get off her.

"Hey, Zakku! You better get off me or else I'll scold you!"

"Grr! Hey! How dare you hold Yorihiko in this situation with all the neighbors seeing this! What kind of attitude is that?! And, Yorihiko, stop praising Zakku!"

Zakku sighed and gave a slight smile and released Yorihiko, "Okay. If you say so. But Suchuwato... tell me one thing! Just one thing... why did you go all through this traveling? Why do you know about the evil spirits hiding within this forest... I mean the "dark troops"? I don't get it."

Suchuwato grabbed something from his pocket, a picture of the history of the legendary battle that beat the heck out of Zakku. A picture with a dark figure... Jaka fighting alongside his troops against the light troops and Kansuke Okinawa, the strongest light troop that Jaka was struggling within the battle a century ago.

"Of course... that's why I made the travel from our peaceful village, after all. But in order to make things clear, we need to take things one step at a time. This has to do with the Dark Troop, Light Troop, and your family, The Seiji... First of all, take a look at these pictures."

Yorihiko, Zakku, and all the villagers gathered together and took a look at the picture Suchuwato took out and showed to them because they are suspicious of the "travel" Suchuwato went on. Zakku took a closer look and found a light, glowing brightly figure that appears to be a girl with long hair. The girl's back had the name "The Light", hence, it's the ancestor Zakku met half a decade ago who shattered.

45 minutes before

The village was quiet. The villagers are always working hard with their all like sweat, blood, and guts into it. Suchuwato was with Yorihiko carrying some rare crystal balls who can read the future they found earlier.

"Hey Yorihiko, These crystal balls sure are valuable! Didn't know that they are hidden all over the village!"

Yorihiko gave a nod with a big smile, "Yeah! I know! Valuable enough to improve this village!"

but the smile didn't last long and heard a big bang, it was a falling tree. the villagers dropped down their harvested crops either accidentally or purposely, Suchuwato knew that this was Zakku's work; Not also him but also the whole village.

"Suchuwato! What was that?!" Yorihiko panicked a bit since she doesn't keep up every time at the village and doesn't know about Zakku's "work" every day. Someone kicks open Zakku's cabin door.

"Who woke me up from my sleep?! Zakku! Where the heck did you go vanish?! I know this is your work so show yourself up or I'll beat you up!"

Suchuwato looked at Zakaria, "Oh?! You're awake, Zakaria! It's rare to see you wake up so early and stress out."

"Yeah! It's a rare sighting to see him wake up!"

"So Zakaria is this stressed when someone wakes him up from his sleep? As I heard from rumors, the people who he works with see him stressed and tired, complaining."

"Hey, Zakku! I said show yourself up you hat-lover! What's the matter with you?!" Zakaria looked up showing up his visible, scary face that looked like it was an aura that a dark troop uses when they fight. The villagers take a step back,

"G... Gulp!"

"So Zakku went again to the forest? Pfft! Find him... I'm going to scold him when you guys find him, and when he gets back. I am so tired of looking for him every day... and I don't know what will happen when I get too exhausted. During this time... it takes everything you have to force and drag him back here in this village. And that's why... You CAN'T... and it's impossible for only one to drag him back here!"

Yorihiko sweats and is very worried about Zakku. "Zakku... I see what he means... He tells us Zakku goes to that dungeon every day... yet Zakaria is very worried too! I hate to tell this to Zakaria, but-- is his non-biological-brother, Zakku.... all right... up here? Good grief, Zakku is an abnormal one!"

some villagers who just went to find return tired, "I need... water. I need water! Zakaria's telling the truth! We've all haven't seen him! He has got to be somewhere dangerous that we don't know yet dangerous for us to go! H-help me! I-it's impossible! I need all the villagers to find him with their all, I swear! I don't want to go through all that again now!"

Zakaria has filled again with energy because of his charge of thunder speed and went behind the villagers who are tired with water bottles in his hands and gave the bottles with water to the villages,

"S...so fast! He went behind the dehydrated villagers with so much speed! Hey Zakaria, How did you go behind them so fast!"

"I told you. Zakku pisses me off and gives me so much thunder energy that it barely gets be tired."

A century ago on the forest where the legendary battle was placed.

All of the light troops are dead including Kansuke Okinawa and all of the dark troops are dead. Jaka was the winner of this battle, "I-I did it! The victory is mine at last! The victory that startled me! But isn't this victory a bit... missing? I'll just go and do my business! There are still some dark troops who are barely alive... I know who they are and who isn't!"

He grabbed out his sword, decapitated the head of a dark troop and the slice also affected the other dark troops dead,

"Species reflection!"

Jaka left the arena filled with blood. After he left, Kansuke moves and breathes again after a battle then gets knocked out again. One day, approximately 10,000 corpses have been found resting inside a forest. It was bloody. There was no sign of a suspect or DNA evidence. Thousands of corpses laid back, dead, but there was no trace of Jaka Doe. Only one troop seemed alive-- a male with a strong and sharp sword cut with a sharp cutter sat beside on the tree, knocked out. Those who saw the unique and strong dual-sword who sat beside the tree at the arena which must have been poisoned. But, in time... he vanished.

Back to present

In the meantime, Zakku looked at the photos with a shock. He looked closer into the photo and counted all the troops he found in the deep look. He saw an exact 10,006 dark troops and 11,072 light troops which appear to be cold, dead corpses. He found 3 light troops, alive and were only knocked out with the names on their cut chest,

"Akarui", "Hikari", and "Sukai"

He pointed at the troops to Suchuwato and to everyone shaking, "L...look... That's so many dark and light troops... a total of 21,078 troops excluding them!"

They couldn't count how many troops there were in the picture but they just followed Zakku's count.

"That's... a lot of troops! You can count them in just a quick moment!"

Zakku left the forest and went back to the village. After he arrived in about 24 minutes, he went inside the house with blood on clothes that were Zakaria's clothes and found severed arms that were the size of Zakaria.

"No...Zakaria's arms?! Impossible! But how?" he grabbed the severed arms and felt a dark feeling... he looked at the blood and appeared to be dark blood without light blood; Zakaria lost his light blood and became cursed.

"Zakaria... His blood is all dark. There must be a great mystery hiding unsolved behind this very door! Now that there is this journey, I hope after this battle I will be able to chain down the ones down to hell!"

he was filled with tragedy internally but externally he is full of rage and anger. He releases a large expanding range of Tamashi and almost fills the whole village with his rage and with raining swords that was a symbol that him, Jaka, will swallow a thousand needles and will be put down to the very core.

"Grahhhhhh!!! I can't forgive that bastard Jaka!!!"

the tamashi Zakku summoned expanded until it trapped the whole village with an aura that defends the whole village and a dagger made by tamashi goes inside Zakku's chest and is pointing his heart, this is his risky resolve.

"This is my resolve! I put a dagger inside my body to promise that I will protect everyone; everyone who isn't worthy of getting killed by Jaka. If I can't protect a single villager inside this village, this dagger will attack me instantly and kill me!" the dagger that was inside him was a promise and resolve dagger; a dagger that is risky when someone creates a risky promise and a dagger that strengthens a tamashi of a person. The greater the risk the better the aura.

"I risk my whole life, I will put my whole life into this journey! This dagger will never be broken and will never be! I accepted this dagger to attack me shortly ago, meaning I am now ready for the real danger that lies ahead of me! Whether I complete this expedition or not, HELL lies ahead of us."

he went out with a sheath with the artificial light sword he had. He concealed his presence by the permanent tamashi increasing the village defense. No one would know where he was. Wherever he was, no one is capable of finding his presence. The villagers can see him physically, but can't sense him by emotions or mentally.

"I don't feel Zakku... Is that even Zakku? Am I hallucinating?"

the villagers were confused because they can see Zakku, but don't sense anything from him. He went outside of the range of the village and has finally revealed his presence. The villagers still can't sense his presence because they are inside Zakku's tamashi range. Even if Zakku is outside of the range, The villagers can't sense him unless they are in the range of the Tamashi. He went to the path where the forest in front of Dungeon Doe. He arrived with still his best record 24 minutes that he couldn't beat. '

"Aww... I can't beat my record of 24 minutes! Well, that's fine!" he went inside the forest's range and saw a similar... looking person. The person was wide awake and looked like he was awakened after a poison that knocked him out after a century,

"Hey, who are you? Why are you inside this forest? It's dangerous!" The person activated his powerful move and cut Zakku approximately 50 times,

"..." Zakku resisted and didn't feel the pain because he found this person before, 'Who are you?' The person stood up, "I am Kansuke Okinawa. I just woke up today after a century of sleep. I didn't know this era was still active... the era I lived about 3.5 billion years ago was about appropriate."

Zakku was shocked; because his hunch was right! It was the strongest troop that cut him; his half ally and half enemy, Kansuke Okinawa!
