Other side of the island

Saiga had gone ahead first while the others were slowly approaching the island via inflatable raft boats. Saiga quickly took out the lookouts with knockout darts before heading into the forest.

Kenichi had decided to stay here and make sure that none of his friends die which his alter ego will fight with the masters to make sure that they don't lose.

Saiga appeared back once more, waiving the all-clear sign that allowed the soldiers to pull the vanguard force forward.

As they all disembarked the rafts, the Bearman immediately took up to the trees. Having lived in the wilderness for almost all his life, he was one with his nature.

As they got further into the woods, they all noticed the tension in the air change. The soldiers accompanying them were unaware, but seeing them all tense up, they figured out that they were being watched.

Just as Saiga was about to warn them all that the enemy was coming from above, Tsuji laughed before charging forward.

"Hahaha! Victory to the one who attacks first!" laughed Tsuji as he recklessly went forward before smashing his fist into a tree.

Whether by luck or not, the tree he had smashed had a Yami soldier perched on the branches, ready to ambush the group.

The Yami soldier didn't have time to react due to his shock that a teenager would do such a thing, and so almost tumbled off, though he managed to regain his wits and tried to stab the boy. Suddenly, he felt something softly pat his back before immense pain wracked his body, sending him flying through the woods. His last thought before he lost consciousness was how they somehow missed a giant Bearman wandering through the woods.

Bearman turned as he sighed at his… 'disciple' for a lack of a better word. Sure, he had taught the child the essence of Koppou, but he had done so as to drive Tsuji off the mountain so he could return to his peaceful hermit lifestyle. He never imagined the boy coming back once more, demanding to be taught some more.

So he gave in, otherwise, the boy would annoy him even further. Never did he think that he would descend down from the mountains, but here he was. He blamed the weird alien kid Tsuji brought with him one day. Then again, if Japan was in danger of being nuked, that would mean his home and nature itself would be harmed. He couldn't let that go.

The other Yami soldiers began their ambush, only to be soundly defeated by the others. With the Tanaka couple helping out, the Yami soldiers were easily rebuffed.

"You lot go ahead," suggested Saiga as he stopped a blade from cutting into one of the soldiers with two fingers, "I'll take care of this with Bearman. The Tanaka couple will back you up. This diversion will be perfect for you all to sneak in."

The others acknowledged as they began to run further into the jungle, with a soldier leading the way. The Bearman was perfect for working in this environment, having lived his whole life with trees, and began ambushing even more Yami soldiers trying to hide themselves in the trees.

As the Shinpaku Alliance, Clint, Melinda May, Natasha, and the Pankration team charged forward with the lone soldier acting as their guide, they soon arrived at a waterfall. Taking this chance for a small break, Kaname looked up before asking, "Are we almost there yet?"

"We're not far from it now," said the soldier as he wiped some sweat off his chin.

The soldier looked surprised when everybody else suddenly changed behaviours, looking ready to fight than their relaxed state earlier. It was only by following their gaze he saw why they had gotten ready to fight.

Standing on top of the waterfall were all of Yomi, both armed and unarmed members. What surprised Kenichi was that standing with them were Satomi and his two Kuremisago bodyguards, Natsuki and Hatsuki, along with a few more people that he never knew about.

Judging by their clothes, they were descendants of the Kuremisago. That, and Sho was giving them uneasy looks.

'Why are they here?' wondered Kenichi before looking over to Miu, realizing their objective.

This was their last chance to kidnap the only Kuremisago member outside their clan that was born of the previous holy lady, with a talent that far outmatched anyone in her generation for her age. If they could take her, then she could be raised as a new symbol for the Kuremisago. If not, then they would eliminate her. Looks like Shizuha still wasn't done with these people maybe after this I will join her and destroy them once and for all.

The soldier raised his rifle, only to find himself under fire from not only Elfreda's arrow, but also from several throwing knives from the Kuremisago. Clint fired and arrow of his own stopping Elfreda's while Kenichi deflect the kunais with the flick of his hands while Miu quickly pulled the soldier back. Everybody else quickly took cover behind some boulders, forcing the enemy to drop down from the waterfall to fight them.

"Niijima, go!" commanded Kenichi, knowing that he will have to take care of the Kuremisago clan members before he follows behind him, "We'll take care of this!"

Niijima nodded, ordering the Pankration team to follow him. The Tanaka couple looked over at the opponents before seeing that there were no more master class opponents other then those clashing against Kenichi. A few were Expert Class, but nothing higher.

"Go," motioned Miu, "We can handle this."

The couple hesitated for a second before nodding, rushing off to follow Niijima and the Pankration team.

"Genson, Koan, follow them," ordered Renka

"But, my lady-" started Genson, only for Renka to silence him with her hand.

"I said go. This is far more important," ordered Renka once more, "I have something to take care of."

Seeing Renka talking with a serious tone, the two nodded before following the others.

"Stop them!" shouted one of the Kuremisago as they tried to follow, only for Saeko, Natasha and Clint to appear before them.

"May" called out Clint who nodded her head and followed behind Niijima and the others.

Knowing that everything will be fine with the current back up, Kenichi decided to focus on his fight when Satomi also joined the fray.

"Mind if I join in?" asked Hyogo as he drew out his kodachi, "After all, he's a threat to the mission."

"... Fine," muttered Satomi, "It is a cooperation mission between the two divisions."

"Even after knowing how strong I am you are challenging me" Kenichi said as he released his ki, immediately they felt that they were standing infront of their master of someone at his level but they couldn't falter as they knew how important it was to stall him.

While the rest of the Shinpaku Alliance engaged against the Yomi Armed Division, most of the Unarmed Division stayed back.

Kenichi glanced at his five opponents who had clearly surrounded him. Besides Satomi and Hyogo, the other three were transitioning in between Master and Grandmaster class.

'I suppose I should be thankful that atleast something of a fight,' thought Kenichi, glancing over to Miu , Saeko and Natasha who where two people at once.

"Don't you think it's a bit presumptuous to think that we won't help!" shouted Takeda as he charged forward, along with the others.

The rest of the Yomi Armed Division came to intercept them, intending to stop them.

"Punch through!" shouted Tsuji as he gleefully launched himself at Sigmaringen.

"You got lucky last time," snarled Sigmaringen, "You won't be this time!"
