Gathering Information
Sun started to rise. Shoo and Kowata went already. Yakura told everything to the people about his plans. Some agreed to join, some didn't want to go against The Absolutes. He told them to wait and prepare themselves until he finds out their hideouts. After that, they thanked them and left. They didn't take Kohi with them. Since he was sleepy, he agreed to them easily.
On their way to the next place.
Akira:
Yakura: They told me there is a place called Peace Town. That town managed to avoid all the troubles throughout the years but Absolutes' armies let themselves in just like last one. Now they are seeking to get rid of them. They mentioned there were a lot of powerfull youngsters there.
Akira: Then why don't they get rid of those armies?
Yakura: They are powerfull compared to a normal person. However their strenght is not enough. Or at least that's what I predict.
Akira: Okay then, let's get rid of them!
Yakura: Who, Hibake? Just another troublemaker. But unlike all other soldiers of Absolutes, this one doesn't deserve to be perished.
Shion: Why is that?
Yakura: The pains in his past, made him like that. He is on a wrong way but he is not accepting it. Just like me. So I think he could be helped, saved from them. I don't want anybody else to end up in regret because of them like I did.
Shion: Are you sure he can be saved? He doens't seem to be listening to you.
Yakura: He is a little stubborn but I'll find a way to make him listen.
Akira: Good luck with that. Oh and speaking of him, do you think he knows their locations?
Yakura: Hard to say. But even if he does, I can't learn unless he joins us.
Akira: The mind block thing, again?
Yakura: Yeah.
Akira: Dang it!
Yakura: Akira, we have some time before we reach to the next location. Why don't you tell me your stroy.
Akira: OH RIGHT! I totally forgot. Now prepare your ears.
I already told you that we know each other ever since we were three. His character when he was three is similiar to his character now. I always admired that, but its not like i see him as my hero or something. I see him as a brother. A brother who is always with me, who picks me up when I fell down. A brother, who helped me to grow.
When I was a child, I was so easy to distract. My parents always concerned that I'll lose my life because of that. But Shoo always helped me. Every time I was distracted, he made me focus… Sometimes by force but he didn't mean to hurt me. Time passed like that but one day… The Absolutes' soldiers attacked. There were 5 or 6 soldiers but they were strong. One of them entered our home. He was trying to kill my father. My mother was shouting and crying, my father was struggling to get off him. At that point, I focused to one thing, first time in my life. "Grab a knife and kill him". I got a knife and jump to the soldiers back. Before he even noticed what was happening, I stabbed his head. My parents were in shock but they knew I only meant to protect them. They cried and thanked me over and over. But when I went out, things were not good for Sh… Uhhhhh…
Yakura: You can stop, if you want to.
Akira: Thanks. You know the rest, tho.
Shion: So, how long le…
Yakura: WAIT!
They stopped.
Akira: What is i…
Yakura: HOLD ON!
Yakura closed his eyes, put his hands to his head and tried to concentrate.
Yakura: Gotcha!
He and the other started to go into a direction, which isn't their next stops location.
Shion: WOOOVVV! WAIIIII…
Akira: Mommy, I think I'll die today.
Shion:
But at that moment Yakura paid no attention to what they said. He seemed so focused on something.
He suddenly went down and stopped on a tree. Akira and Shion barely grabbed a branch.
Akira: COULD YOU PL…
Yakura frozed his mouth.
Yakura: Shhhh.
Akira: *Hmmpp* *Hmpphh*
Shion: Now I can't understand BOTH of you now.
Yakura: It's payback time now!
Shion: Stop being so mysterious and te…
Yakura: Shhh.
He showed a man with a flashy armor and a giant hammer on his back. He was yelling at some diggers that how useless they are.
Shion:
Akira: *Hmmph?* <*Hmhmmph?*>
Yakura broket he ice on Akira's mouth and he tried to warm his mouth.
Yakura: That guy with the armor. He is one of the special soldiers of The Absolutes. Senyaii This guy has earned their trust very well. I often saw him Misaoshii's Pit and I fought him while escaping.
Akira: Did you win?
Yakura: I wouldn't be here if I did lose, but I barely won. He is not to be underestimated. And more importantly, why is he casually hanging aroun? We need to learn this first. So, try not to make too much noise.
Shion and Yakura turned to Akira.
Akira: … Okay, okay, I'll be quiet.
They all began to watch them.
Senyaii: I can not accept the fact that Riigo thought you were all worthy to work with me! How come a few bunch of useless like you manage to serve them. If it was up to me, I would have murdered all of you by now. DİG FASTER!
The diggers began to dig faster in panic. Senyaii choped a tree and sat on the log. He leaned his head to his hand and watched them with a visible temper.
Yakura turned to ghost form and landed to the ground without making them notice. He changed his form to normal and put his hand to the ground. He sensed the area, there were a few holes around. Quite deep one. And they were covered with saps and leaves. They were trying to capture someone.
Yakura went near Akira and Shion:
Yakura: They are trying to capture some kind of monster… I think.
Shino: So? Should we wait for them to capture it?
Yakura: No. The traps are just holes, there is nothing inside them to har mor hold anything. And they are not that big. Which means they are not here for a big hunt. So what are they searching is not important.
Akira: Very well. Then, what is the plan.
Yakura: Can you guys hold the diggers.
Akira: I think we can manage. They don't seem so well in com… Wait? Are you gonna fight him?
Yakura: Yes.
Akira: B… But didn't you said you barely beat him?
Shion: He is right. Isn't it a bit… risky?
Yakura: Risky, yes. But it is the best chance. His body stamina is high enough to withstand my mental Powers.
Akira: Uhhh… Meaning?
Yakura: To be able to read his mind, I must break the barrier. But it is not easy and a lot of painfull. It is like opening the skull. I tried this on many creatures, they died mostly at the start.
Akira: Woow.
Yakura: So I can't let him go. You guys just keep those diggers busy, okay?
Akira: Alright. I… think we can do this. Let's go Shion.
Shion: You are the one who said we could do this. And now you tell me you don't have a plan?
Akira: Uhh… Aha! I think I can do something. Just follow up.
They come front to the diggers.
Akira: HIYA THERE GUYS! So we were just passing by and I d…
Senyaii: Kill them.
Akira: Oh s*** that didn't work, RUUUN!
Shion:
The diggers started to chase Akira and Shion.
Senyaii: SUCH USELESS IDIOTS! WHY DID YOU ALL GO! WE STILL HAVE J…
While he was grumbling about the the diggers Yakura grabbed his head.
Senyaii: AAAAHHH! WHAT IN THE WORLD!?
Yakura was trying so hard to open the barrier, but it was weakening him a lot. Senyaii grabbed Yakura's arms and tossed him to the ground.
Senyaii: Aaah! Wait up you little piece of s***! When I catch my breath I… Well well well. Look who dares to come to my sight. And more importantly WHO DARES TO ATTACK ME!
Yakura stood up.
Yakura:
Senyaii: And why do I got the honor to see your disgusting face again?
Yakura: I was just passing by. When I saw you, I wanted to make a joke. Guess I played a little rough.
Senyaii: And those two… peasants, is it because of you that they are roaming here?
Yakura: So obsessed with details. You should worry about only for yourself right now.
Senyaii: Ohh!
Senyaii took his hammer and tossed it to the ground very hard. Before he hit it to the ground, Yakura levitated. But after then that, ground started to explode from many different places. While Yakura was dodging the explosions, Senyaii rushed to him and tried to crush him. Yakura blocked his hammer but Senyaii's other hand was free. He tried to punch Yakura, but Yakura's one hand was free as well.
Senyaii: Your senses are getting weaker.
Yakura: You haven't seen anything.
Yakura pushed his hammer a little bit and created a small shield, which blocked an explosion coming from the hammer. Then a wine come from the ground and bound to Senyaii's chest. It pulled Senyaii and hit him to the ground repeatedly.
Senyaii swang his constantly. That created explosion waves and burnt the wine. Before he fell to the ground, Yakura rushed to him and grabbed him by his head. Yakura smashed him to the ground. With his foot, he crushed his arm and that caused Senyaii to drop his hammer. Wines came out of ground and caught Senyaii's limbs. Yakura created energy orbs around his hands and hit Senyaii's head with both of them. That caused a great explosion. Yakura tried to hold his head but Senyaii struggled too much. He started to create a shield around him. Yakura tried to prevent it, however Senyaii already freed one of his arms. He punched Yakura's face with a great explosion, that caused Yakura to flew away. He teared apart the vines around him and rant o his hammer. Yakura was running to him with flames around him but Senyaii reacted so fast and hit him with his hammer. Yakura fell down. Senyaii put his foot on his chest and hit him with his hammer. Again, again and again. To defend Yakura, a lot of souls came out from his body and attacked Senyaii. They pushed away Senyaii. While he was dealing with the souls, Yakura stood up and pulled his rod. Senyaii created another shield around him and unleashed it. The souls backed away. He was prepairing himself to attack, but Yakura called them back. Senyaii looked Yakura and smiled. Yakura didn't changed his serious expression.
Senyaii: Kinda nostalgic, eh? But this time will be different. THis time I will crush your head.
Yakura: How can you be so sure? I mean, we fought right after I escaped my prison, which was hundreds of years, and you lost even that time. I now recovered a lot, so I suggest you should check your math, again.
Senyaii: I am sure, because I have worked a lot from that day. I earned their trust even more.
Yakura: "Trust"? I am surprised they didn't fire you or even kill you. Cause you couldn't do a single task you were given. You were not worthy for their so called… Uuuuhh… Royalty? I can't find the right word, cause there are a lot of them.
Senyaii:
Senyaii charged to Yakura. He tried to hit him many times, but Yakura was dodging all of his attacks. Senyaii was hitting ground very hard, that caused earthquakes, but those were not enough to make Yakura lose his balance. His blows and explosions caused him to lose sight of Yakura. He looked around for him but couldn't see him. Suddenly Yakura came out from ground, right below him and knocked him up. Senyaii dropped his hammer. Yakura breathed fire and at the same time, lightnings hit Senyaii from clouds. While he was trying to create a shield aroun him, Yakura sent chains from his hand, grabbed Senyaii and threw him to the ground. He then flew up more and crashed Senyaii with great speed. He stabbed Senyaii's arms to ground with his sword and rod. Senyaii struggled, but it was no use.
Senyaii: I don't know how, but you beat me. But I'll have my revenge for sure. Do not forg…
Yakura: Cut the crap! I don't have time for your pridefull speech.
Yakura held Senyaii's head and tried to break the mind block. Senyaii's angry groans turned into painfull screams. Breaking a mind block feels like breaking the skull. But it was also painfull for Yakura. Because of the enegry he needed to use and mind blocks effects. Yakura saw many visions from Senyaii's memories. A few of them was what he was looking for. He saw Shizen and Shimana's places. He dropped Senyaii's head.
Yakura: How sad, they didn't trust yuo that much. You only knew two of their locations.
Senyaii: You bastard! I'll…
Yakura crushed his head.
Yakura: Enough already. Hmmm. What should I do next? …Oh right, I should help those two, I guess.
Yakura flew to their location. A few of the soldiers were dead, but they were injured, too. They wer hardly standing against the remaining ones. In the blink of an eye, Yakura killed them all.
Akira: WOW! I'll never get used to this. But I love it!
Shion: So? How did it go?
Yakura: I found Shizen and Shimana's locations.
Akira: What about that guy?
Yakura: He is dead.
Shion: Well, I didn't expect him to survive after all those noises and shakings. Anyway, we should move quick to their locations. Which one is first.
Yakura: "I AM" going. You guys should go to the town or home… or something.
Akira: Wait, what?
Shion: What do you mean?
Yakura: Our plan was to gather allies, so we could TRACK their locations. I found two of them and they will lead me to others. You have done your part. So you should go to your own ways. You know, I am not planning to create an army or something.
Shion: Bu… but, you can't leave us like this.
Akira: I thought we were friends.
Yakura: We are. So, I am doing my friends a favor. By not making them fight with Absolutes. Farewell.
Yakura flew off.
Shion: YAKURA! WAIT! YOU CAN'T LEAVE US HERE!
Akira: YEAH DUDE! WE CAN'T SURVİVE 10 MİNUTES WİTHOUT YOU!
Shion:
Akira: Shhh. Play along.
Yakura:
Akira: Ah c***!
Akira and Shion stared to direction which Yakura, went for a while.
Akira: He really left us here.
Shion: I can't believe that bastard!
Akira: What should we do know?
Shion: I don't know… Let's try to reach Kowata. Maybe he can talk to Yakura.
Akira: How do we reach him, tho. I mean, I don't really have a powerfull mind like his.
Shion: I don't know. Just… concentrate or something and hope that he will sense us.
Akira: Okay, okay. Time to meditate.
They sat and tried to reach Kowata.
