Second reckoning

As day breaks, Taiyo wakes up in the training room and realizes that he blacked out.

"Ugh," Taiyo moans "I must have been training too much last night."

"You were." 

Taiyo looks behind him to see Kinishi standing there.

"Oh, hey." Taiyo said as he looks back at the window.

"What, you still mad at me?" Kinishi said.

Taiyo scratches his head as he stands up and turns around.

"I never was, I was just frustrated." Taiyo said as he looks away.

"Basically the same thing." Kinishi slyly with a smirk

"NO, IT ISN'T!!" Taiyo yelled while looking at Kinishi with a stern look

"Ok...if thats what you say." Kinishi said while turning around

"Taiyo."

"Yeah."

"We're leaving soon so pack your stuff."

"Finally," Taiyo said sarcastically.

"Don't get too excited." 

"Oh, Shut up."

Taiyo and Kinishi leaves the training room to pack their bags. Meanwhile somewhere far.

"The ritual… it worked." Said one of the ritual practitioners.

 "Yes… you can now call me Lapetus the STAR CRUSHER." He said laughing maniacally.

Yami notices the sudden spike in the power scale.

The power scale is the ki balance between humans and godly creatures and all alike. It is connected to the universe and can only be sensed by shadow users.

"What's wrong, Yami?" Hanage said.

Yami shrugs and says "There's an imbalance in the power scale."

Hanage is confused by what Yami said but shakes it away.

Taiyo takes a shower as he notices a small red streak on his palm.

*What a minute… since when did I have this mark on my hand?* Taiyo thought to himself confused.

*Was it when I loss control of my powers while fighting Kori? Wait… no it must have been when I had that first meeting with Shinpi. He must have put it there*

In a instant, a wave of dark red energy envelopes Taiyo.

Taiyo opens his eyes and panics because he's naked.

Shinpi streaks in a wave of shadow to cover Taiyo.

"Oh, uhh… thanks???" Taiyo said.

"First off, I don't even know why you're scared, I've seen you naked multiple times, ever since you were a kid." Shinpi said "Second, out of all the names you could have chosen, you chose Shinpi."

"Well I've got some questions of my ow-." Taiyo started

"I can read your mind you know." Shinpi said "But, oh well, I guess I'll explain everything starting from the time you were just a little kid till now and who I am and what I am. Also don't worry I made your body an empty shell, or in other words, autopilot. Never mind that I should probably start explaining from when you were a kid.

"What do you mean from when I was a kid?!" Taiyo said in shock.

"Well then strap in and listen to what I am about to say." Shinpi said with a smirk on his face.
