To the capital!

"Not... Yet!" Kiyoko's eyes widen. The Colonial's body suddenly starts growing in size. His muscles becoming larger. His already pale skin becoming completely white. Two horns grow from his head. He opens his eyes as they glow red. His teeth growing sharp. He lifts his sharp clawing hands as they become engulfed in flames. Kiyoko preparing to defend. He violently swings his hand down as a wave of flames rush towards Kiyoko. Suddenly a large pitch black portal like object appears in front of Kiyoko.

"Shadow Maho... Gate to the underground..." The flames are all absorbed. Kiyoko looks over in shock. Sergio stands there. He coughs blood through his teeth.

"Don't worry... Back up... Has arrived..." Kiyoko looks forward as the demon prepares for another attack. It's movements seemingly mindless.

"WRAAA!!" a massive bow of flames pour straight at Kiyoko. He jumps out of the way to dodge and landing beside Sergio.

"Sergio... What are you doing here!?" Kiyoko looks back and quickly uses his wind to block another attack.

"I came to help!" Kiyoko sighs.

"Okay, but keep up the pace and don't get hit... I know how to injure and defeat these guys... So just help me get close!" Sergio nods as they both jump forward.

Sergio dodges an attack and runs through some trees for cover. A beam of flames chasing him. He jumps through the air and spins around absorbing the flames with the shadows. He lands on the ground and runs straight at the demon.

"Darkness cloak" as he's running, he quickly kicks the air sending waves of shadows at the demon. Some of them hit him. the demon instantly regenerates as Sergio appears in the air beside him.

"Dual wielded shadow blades!" Two large shadow swords appear in his hands.

Kiyoko bolts through the trees. Jumping and flipping over tons of flame blades. Using his long sword as a shield. Kiyoko quickly slides one the ground.

"Ice slash!" Kiyoko swings his blade sending a wave of ice. Hitting the demon directly.

"Fire slash!" Kiyoko swings his blade the opposite direction sending a wave of flame instantly melting the ice. Kiyoko quickly jumps forward. His eyes glowing gold. His longer hair blowing in the wind. Kiyoko swings his blade back as it glows. Sergio appearing opposite Kiyoko for his own attack.

"Shadow Maho; Dual wielded shadow blades!" Sergio swings his blades instantly slashing the demon. Kiyoko also attacking before he could regenerate.

"Ice Maho... Time Maho... Dimension slash...!" Kiyoko swings his blade down instantly slashing the demon perfectly in half. Ice forming on the cut to stop it's regeneration. The large demon body slowly disintegrating to reveal the original fighter.

Kiyoko breaths heavily as he looks up at Sergio. Sergio smiles and nods. Kiyoko's ears twitch as he hears the captains screaming orders.

"We've been defeated... Retreat to the main base!" Kiyoko and Sergio watch as the remaining military retreat to base. Sergio ready to chase them. Kiyoko stopping him.

"Let them retreat... We're almost in as bad a condition as Them... All of our generals are injured in some way... Plus... Most of our forces were cut down..." Sergio blankly stares at Kiyoko.

"H-how... Did you know that...?" Kiyoko takes a deep breath.

"I'm half sheep... I can hear better than most..." Sergio realizes and apologizes. Kiyoko helps himself up.

"Now... Collect everyone still uninjured and move Basecamp right here." Sergio nods

Kiyoko sits inside a tent thinking to himself.

"How did things turn out like this... The war... Loss... All because people can't live peacefully together..." Kiyoko takes a deep breath as he pins his hair back in a medium length ponytail.

"No matter what gets in my way..." Kiyoko clenches his fist on the ground.

"I will unite the world together in peace... I was gifted this power... Not to conflict wars... But to bring everyone together under one peaceful nation... And if I have to die in order to accomplish that goal... Then so be it" suddenly someone opens the entrance to the tent.

"Sir Oritsu...? We uh... Everyone is here and gathered together now-... Are you okay?" Kiyoko nods while blushing in embarrassment.

"Yeah... I'll be out in a minute" the man leaves as Kiyoko stands. He takes a deep breath as he whispers to himself.

"If there's one thing for sure... This war may be filled with death and extra harsh reality... But that's what's made me into the fearless warrior I am today" Kiyoko walks out of the tent as everyone turns and salutes to him. Kiyoko salutes back.

"A war is defined by several battles between the same two forces... This war may be cruel and harsh... But it is something we all must experience... War turns a harsh life filled child... And turns them into a man... That kid was me..." This grabs everyone's attentions towards Kiyoko.

"I was lucky to be born into the highest royalty of RoeKanaoWorth... But my mom was quickly assassinated, and I; stolen from my biological family. Born with royal blood, demi human blood, and with center Maho... I was abused for money by my captures... But I was soon saved by a member of the lowest royal family in RoeKanaoWorth... I experienced hardships and strife through my journey with them... Which leads us to now... The child who couldn't protect himself and was too shy to speak to anyone but his closest friends... Now stands in front of you as one of the strongest members of RoeKanaoWorth's military!" Everyone starts clapping.

"The enemy retreated back to their base a few miles off the border... Don't lose now... You are so close to freedom from Haineil... I have a dream... To unite all the races and kingdom's in peace... Don't give up on your goal and your dream... When you're just days away from accomplishment!... I have a dream I want to fulfill... So should you... Don't let this war be the end of your dreams... Let it be a stepping stone to victory... We raid the base early tomorrow... Now get a lot of rest..." Kiyoko bows to the crowd before turning around and walking back into his tent. A loud standing ovation sounds outside the tent.
