Chapter 24: Battle In Hashimoto
(On top of a building close to the warehouse, we can see three men watching the scene on what has been going on. They all wore big black long sleeve dress with an integral hood, and with little blue designs on it. By the left side was the symbol of the blue tree, which are their uniforms)
ITO: Saku really messed up the plan. (He said while looking at Saku)
Ito Uchiha
Speed
NARUO: Yeah. What a hassle (he said with a bored tone while squatting)
Naruo Uchiyama
Cyborg
YANO: Can we just do this quickly. Beside this party could be over.
Yano Minako
Beast shape shifting
ITO: Not yet. Someone is about to arrive.
NARUO: If it's that crazy guy, I swear this plan wouldn't go.
KEISUKE: Sure it will, if you only get along. (While he appeared to them, seen on uniform, making Naruo and Yami dumbfounded)
NARUO: Speak of the devil (while surprised)
YANO: How long have you being here?
KEISUKE: Well Nanu, let's just say a month of Sundays.
YANO: Is Yano not Nanu. Yano! (He yelled while Keisuke didn't care about it)
ITO: Keisuke, what should we do?
KEISUKE: Saku and Taichi have to fall back. Fighting was not supposed to the option for them. And... (Then he sees XO while he was surprised) That guy on XO mask... should be dead. (Keisuke smiled evilly)
Keisuke Naotaka
Invisibility
Acting leader of the Corvus
(To Kaaru and Taichi who were still staring at each other while they didn't say anything. Hiro looked at them and saw Kaaru with a serious look and...)
TAICHI: Now let's dance for a while! (He said as he tried to cut off his head and he managed to dodged that)
(Kaaru punched him but he blocked that and Taichi kicked him, causing him to hit himself in some of the boxes stored there)
HIRO: Kaaru! (He screamed worried as she was about to meet him but Saku blocked her way)
SAKU: Uh-uh, Not so fast.
HIRO: Tch! Get out of my way! (She yelled as she ran to attack him. The two started to fight a hand and leg combats. She kicked him but he blocked it with his left hand covered with ice making her to be full of surprised)
SAKU: There's no way you can lay your dirty leg on me.
HIRO: Why you...! (She said as she tried to punch him and Saku dodged as many blow from her. He then kicked her and she goes on her kneels)
SAKU: It doesn't matter if you try your best to kill me. I wouldn't make light of it. Fighting with seriousness can sometimes lose your cool, because you wouldn't be aware of your surroundings just your rival you are facing who you want to kill so badly. But by the way I'm not your rival. If you think so, get up and fight. (He said while looking at Hiro with a serious look which made her to be scared)
(To Kaaru, he got up and sees Taichi coming to him with a blow. Surprisedly, he blocked that with just one hand)
TAICHI: What, with just one hand. Is that even possible? (While having it as a thought)
(Then Kaaru gave him a punch, causing Taichi to go back and slammed himself to the wall. Kaaru jumped while producing a fire from his hand, getting ready to give him a punch and he dodged that. And the two started to fight a serious one. Kaaru kicked and punch him as he does that in a swift manner. He finally kicked his face and Taichi fell to the ground. He takes his time to get up while he spat out a blood and Kaaru stood close to him and said)
KAARU: Why! Why are you doing this?! You acted like you were innocent but inside of you, you are a traitor!
TAICHI: Yeah and so what, is this how you want to counsel me. To follow the right path. Let me tell you something (he said while he finally got up) I have my own life to live and you have yours. Everybody are equal doesn't mean they should actually be the same. There must be a difference and that is the possibility of changing yourself.
KAARU: (had a thought) Man, what's this guy saying?
TAICHI: You know what, maybe I should forget following orders from people and to follow myself. I'm a traitor just like you said and the blue tree hated me for that. And now I'm going to kill you especially since this is an order made by myself.
(He blast out sharp objects while they were lunging to Kaaru. Kaaru dodge all of them while running to make an attack on Taichi as he jumped and kicked him on his belly. He kicked him one more time but this time he grabbed his leg and threw him away. While flying in the air, Kaaru breathes out fire ball from his mouth and Taichi blocked that with his two hands covered with ice)
KAARU: (He then landed without falling and had a thought) His ice is strong. (Then remembered what doctor Muto said to him)
(Flashback)
MUTO: ...because it is in strong state with the help of his mania, he resisted it by making the ice even stronger.
(End of the flashback)
KAARU: If only he didn't resist it. I have to find a way to defeat him.
(Back to Hiro, She got up and stared at Saku and ran towards him with such an incredible speed. The two started to exchange blow while dodging an incoming punch on their face. She then gave Saku a punch on his face, making him to step back a little. He feels something on his leg as he looked down and sees a long stem tied round on his ankle as it flew him away. Hiro ran towards as she landed him a hit. Saku dodged that as he kicked her with his leg covered in ice. She ducked and punch him on his belly)
(And to Kaaru, Taichi ran towards Kaaru to punch him, but Kaaru dodged and landed a punch on his face. But Taichi smiled and said)
TAICHI: You think I will not resist that.(he said as Kaaru was shocked and looked at his hand while seeing blood on his knuckles and Taichi face was covered with ice)
(Taichi kicked Kaaru all of a sudden and Kaaru slammed him into a wall. Kaaru tried getting up but Taichi marches his head down to the ground. Hiro saw him and...)
HIRO: Kaaru! (While she was worried)
TAICHI: On this battlefield, I'm your enemy. Do you get it, it just me and you. Now that I finally have you. It's time to end it here. (He said while marching his head many times and Kaaru started screaming)
HIRO: Kaaru! (Saku came and froze her two legs) Grrr! (As she tried pulling them out) Kaaru!
TAICHI: (he stopped marching and turned to Hiro) This is a waste for you. Your screaming his name can't stop me. (He said while walking to meet Hiro)
KAARU: Grrr! (He was angry while trying to get up)
(Taichi looked at her and took off her mask)
TAICHI: Do you understand that, your screaming can't. So let's see if you can scream this. (He said as she ripped off her shirt while her bra was shown)
HIRO: Stop! (She screamed while her face were redden)
(Saku looked at her boobs with a comical defeated face)
SAKU: I knew Taichi was an hentai fan. (While having it as a thought)
TAICHI: Now (as he stood up and his arm turned to a sharp object, getting ready to cut that area) Say your last word, luvvy. (Hiro looked at him with a serious while not saying anything) No last word, no mercy. (He then sliced her and Kaaru screamed her name)
KAARU: Hiro!
(At an incredible speed, Yuuto pushes her away from it as it landed on Saku's belly)
HIRO: Yuuto... (She said and stared at his face, Yuuto looked at her boobs and she was embarrassed while her face was redden and covered the area and yelled) Yuuto even you! You have a mature mind!
YUUTO: (Chuckles and took off his jacket and Hiro face were still redden) Take this to cover your... bo... front. (He said while changing the last word from boobs to front)
HIRO: Thank you. (and she wears it and zipped it up)
(Eito came and gave Kaaru a hand and he got up)
KAARU: Thanks Eito.
HIRO: (Looked at Taichi angrily while walking to meet him. He stares at him and uses his powers as a long stem came out and ties his entire body)
KAARU: Hiro, don't try to kill him.
HIRO: Why you saw what he did to me. This man is a perv.
KAARU: I... know. But we can still use him for some questions.
EITO: Too late. I figured everything it out.
KAARU: What... How?
(Flashback)
(While Eito and Yuuto were still running to meet Kaaru and Hiro at the warehouse. Eito had some thoughts about Taichi and he stopped running. Yuuto turned around to him surprised as he also stopped)
YUUTO: Eito, what's wrong?
EITO: (Still thinking while his fingers were under his chin as he said) Taichi Toshio... Yuuto remembered I told him that he is only an acting bodyguard and one of blue tree's armorer.
YUUTO: Yes.
EITO: That's not all about him.
YUUTO: Huh!
EITO: To make this clear, as an armorer, he makes weapons for the blue tree organization. As a bodyguard, he safeguard the place and protect his weapons from those aok assassins after they tried to steal them when their negotiation failed. Since you understand that, why does he store weapons in that place?
YUUTO: Maybe he made an agreement with someone to do the job.
EITO: If he did that, the person would have come alongside with him. Or he would have assist him to do the job.
YUUTO: Must he have to do that, what if the person was undercover?
EITO: There is a possibility for that if he was or not. I looked around Taichi's body after he tried to shoot you. He has no transceiver, but a fake identity card. (He said as he show Yuuto the card. He licks his finger and rubs it on the card as some faded while he showed him) The ink is fake.
YUUTO: So since he has no transceiver, are you trying to say he works alone?
EITO: No he doesn't. He is their boss and as the boss he stores them in Taki supermarket. So why is that? (Yuuto looked at him while he didn't know the answer and Eito said) The answer is Taichi Toshio is the owner of Taki supermarket.
YUUTO: (Shocked) What!
EITO: I know right. It's very clear. Isn't it? Taichi believed that his supermarket is the safest place to store his weapons for the blue tree. He didn't wanted to store it in his home because he has a wife. What if she finds out was what he thought. So that's just it.
YUUTO: Very good thinking, Eito.
(Eito looked at him while made a sincere smile)
(End of flashback)
KAARU: But what about the location, that I told you about the ice manipulator coming here by five.
EITO: That was Taichi's ice not that guy...
KAARU: Saku.
EITO: Yeah. Saku joined the aoks to steal his weapons. And Taichi tried defending it. But eye witnesses found out his true identity, so for that he froze them. At that incident, there was no trace of Saku's ice.
YUUTO: So I guess Saku was not the guy we were supposed to go after. Thanks to Eito who finally figured all of it out.
KAARU: Yeah (so as he turned to where Saku was...) What, he's gone.
(To Saku who was seen running outside while bloods were dripping out of his belly. He looked up and to his surprised, he sees the Corvus right in front of him)
ITO: Is he still in there?
SAKU: Yeah sure he is (he said and he took off his mask as he was seen on He has a white undercut hair and blues eyes) Remember he's strong.
(Ito stared at him and passed by him and said)
ITO: Head back to HQ. There is something I'll to discuss about with you alone.
SAKU: Okay, Ito. (He continues to walk)
(And the Corvus were then walking while they were prepared as Ito brings out his sword, Yano rolls up his sleeve as he begins to swing his hand, Naruo's right hand transform to a machine gun and Keisuke was just smiling while adjusting himself)
(Back to Kaaru and the rest, Eito and Yuuto shuts the door of the warehouse and Hiro ties Taichi with some of her plant on the hands and legs. And Kaaru sits while staring at Taichi with a serious look)
KAARU: Now talk.
TAICHI: What do I want to talk about?
KAARU: Tell us everything you know about the blue tree.
TAICHI: I don't know anything about it.
KAARU: Liar, you work for them and what makes you say that?
TAICHI: I'm no longer working for them. So I started making weapons for other countries for war. And that was how they tried to steal them. All I know about their master.
KAARU: So what's his name?
TAICHI: His name is--
(As he was about to say his name, a blast lunged forward to the door, hitting Eito and Yuuto. Kaaru got up in shocked and sees Naruo walking forward and then Ito and the rest)
ITO: Very good, Naruo for using your steel arms.
NARUO: It was just a piece of cake (while smoke were seen on the top of his machine gun)
KAARU: Who are they? (While having it as a thought)
KEISUKE: There is no escape for you four (then he see Taichi creeping on the ground)
KAARU: Keisuke (While having it as a thought and was angry)
TAICHI: Ah finally, you came to rescue me.
KEISUKE: Is that what you think?
(Then Naruo shot Taichi while he explode as blood splashes in the air, making Kaaru to be filled with shocked while a drop of blood landed on his face)
KEISUKE: I know it's an impolite to come here unexpectedly, by the way we are the Corvus.
KAARU: (Thought) The Corvus
KEISUKE: I don't want to talk much but all we want is just a boy named... Kaaru Kagawa.
(Kaaru was startled after hearing that and had a thought)
KAARU: Why me?
KEISUKE: Why don't I look for him. Don't you agree? (while looking at Kaaru)
KAARU: (Thought) Shit, he knows me under my mask.
KEISUKE: Oh you are hesitating. Really hesitating. To have pity on you, I will murder the four of you right here and there's is no escaping! Now shall we start.
(Naruo stretches out his hand to shoot Kaaru and he dodged that. Yuuto runs to attack Naruo but Yano came and kicked him and he slammed himself to the wall. Yano walks up to Yuuto as he transform into a large monster and Yuuto was shocked and had a thought)
YUUTO: Do manias like this actually exist?
(Keisuke appeared to Kaaru and...)
KAARU: Keisuke! (He was serious while producing out fire, having the intention to kill him. So he runs to blast it out)
(Keisuke dodged that and the two started to fight a stunning one, exchanging blow and so on. Kaaru started blowing out fire and as for Keisuke he keeps missing it. Then Kaaru was quickly at his back getting ready to give him a blow but...)
KAARU: Huh (while he was surprised)
ITO: Nice try (blocking it with his sword, protecting Keisuke)
KAARU: (Thought) That was fast.
ITO: Now die! (He tries to slice Kaaru with such an incredible speed and he managed to dodged all of his sword swinging attack)
(Kaaru kicked him and he blocked that)
KAARU: (Thought) He's fast.
(To Yuuto vs Yano as a monster, The two started fighting as Yuuto kicked him while lightning unleashed on his body, shocking Yano. Yano managed to get up and ran to attack Yano)
YUUTO: Easy big guy (he said as he gave him a blow on his face. Yano dodged that and punch Yuuto. Well he blocked that with his two arms) Nice punch big guy. But first can I ask you a question?
(Yano didn't say anything as he breathes in and out with a serious)
(To Hiro and Eito while they were fighting Naruo. Naruo's two arms transform into a machine gun. The two dodged that and ran to attack him. They punch him, causing him to go back. Naruo got up and looked at them)
NARUO: You two are soft and strong (he said while his hand turned back to his original hand) Let me tell something, do you like my artificial hands? (he said while raising up his two hands)
EITO: I can't say, but it's made of real steel. It's infallible and not fragile.
NARUO: That's correct. But you didn't recommend me? Maybe because we are enemies, that's it. (Eito didn't answered him but looking at him with a serious face) So... (Then his hands transform into a minigun) Let's finished it.
(He then shoots them and Eito jumps and kicked him, making Naruo to step back and suddenly, Hiro punch him. Naruo got pissed off as his arms turned to a sword. Then, he ran towards them and tried to cut them off. Hiro dodged a slice while ducking. And as for Eito, he dodged all the cyborg's cut and kicked him on the face, causing him to fall to the ground)
HIRO: Nice kicked, Eito.
EITO: Yeah. Thanks.
(To Kaaru who was fighting Keisuke and Ito. His major difficulty during the fighting was Ito as he couldn't catch up his speed. Kaaru managed to dodge an incoming cut from him and a punch from Keisuke. He goes back a little and started panting. The two then ran to him and Kaaru breathes hard while producing a fire. He runs and throws out fire ball and the two missed that. Kaaru focused on Ito the more as he runs to him and kicked him, making him to tumble and landed on the ground. And for Keisuke, he turned as he didn't see Kaaru, not knowing he was at his back as he gave him a punch on his face, making him to step back a little)
KEISUKE: Hmm, I didn't see that coming.
(After that, they could hear the sirens of a approaching police car)
KEISUKE: Shit, the cops are here. The rest of you fall back!
(Then the Corvus disappeared with the help of Keisuke's power without a trace and Keisuke was the last one to leave and he said one last thing)
KEISUKE: We will meet again, Kaaru. (And he disappeared while Kaaru tried to stop him using his fire blast but was too late)
(Kaaru goes on his kneels due to exhaustion and Yuuto touches his left shoulder and said)
YUUTO: Let's go.
KAARU: Are you guys okay? (While getting up on his kneel)
YUUTO: Yeah. I guess we are.
HIRO: Kaaru your head is bleeding (she said while looking worried on Kaaru's state)
KAARU: I'm fine. You can treat me when we get back to our hideout.
EITO: Let's get going now.
(So they left as they took through the back without the polices noticing them)
(To the Corvus, they appeared on top of a building while seeing the cops coming out if their vehicles and entering the warehouse)
YANO: Damn that was too quick. I didn't enjoyed that.
KEISUKE: Fuck! (He said while stepping the ground out of anger)
NARUO: Take it easy, we might fail but this is not the end.
KEISUKE: Yeah I know. Guess I messed up if It wasn't for the cops.
ITO: Well let's head back to our place. We can explain some few things to master Kuragari. (Keisuke didn't say anything while looking at the polices in the warehouse. Ito looked at him and said) Keisuke, let's go.
KEISUKE: Yeah okay (So they disappeared and he had a thought) The next time we meet, we will have Kuragari on our side when he is ready for you.
To be continued....
I hope you enjoyed it.
