“We celebrate my friend, The Emperor of Yahuza this morning. I know we have been through a lot already; this morning was a sad one indeed. Same with my friend, he had it rough earlier. We proceed on our quest; we do not relent. Bad things happen, and our reactions to them are what will decide the way it all ends. We raise our glasses this time to celebrate amidst the chaos around us. We drink in celebration now, only a few rounds. We have a journey to go back to.” “Yes! But let us enjoy now!” The emperor added to the master’s toast. “Cheers!” Wine spilled off cups as they cheered in the air. [Cough][Cough intensifies]“Who is that?” Doctor Haishi turned to see the face of Master Yonda. The emperor had called everyone’s attention to the cough that interrupted the celebratory mood they were in. “Oh, I forgot to inform you. Your... friend there has been coughing like that for a while now. I thought you could save me... my friend, too, but you were not here. I guess he is lucky you
The low gaze of the sun, its light aging into wrinkles with less radiance, looked closer as they neared the gates of Shinjuya. The emperor's carriage was behind the Master's horse. They rode leisurely toward the cramped fronts of the gates.The emperor's carriage shook with reckless abandon as the emperor decided to ride by the master's side. "What is going on?" He whispered his curiosity to Master Yonda's ears."I have no idea. I am just as clueless as you are," Master Yonda answered without taking his eyes off the crowded gates."What is going on?" Doctor Haishi moved closer to the end of the carriage to close up the distance his voice had to travel"What?" The emperor heard faint words from his back, the noise from the gate fronts overshadowed the whispers."What is going on!?" Doctor Haishi hit a higher pitch"The gates are closed. Each person is being searched by some brutally-looking guards. They seem to be preventing a raid or they have to host. I wouldn't put a coin on the lat
Shinjuya is a vast territory whose gates did justice to its might, a big nation that had different factions within it: they called themselves nations too. The Shinjuya Nation housed one of the most notorious nations known around, the Fire or Krep Nation. The Fire or Krep Nation is the biggest and most commercially successful nation among the six factions of Shinjuya. It also happens to be the capital of the country. It is located at the heart of Shinjuya, protected by the other five nations that surround it.The whole of Shinjuya looked rigid. Each man walked with purpose and urgency; each step was a calculated move on the right track to follow. It was as easy to know a stranger around. As easy as seeing people tainted with the black smoke that covered other nations from the industrial emissions from Fire Nation. The more you look in awe at their resignation to this unhealthy life they lived, the more your strangeness is understood as a visitor to the country."Were they like this whe
"You know, I still wonder. How did he not stop us?" The emperor blurted, "I mean, look at how I'm dressed. How can you not stop me? I look like I'm about to start a war," He chuckled"Yeah well, I guess he didn't just want to disturb an Anju!" Master Yonda shot back at him. The emperor's laughter was loud now. They continued to ride, but not for much longer."He stays in there," Kokohashi pointed to a dimly lit house full of chatter.Master Yonda exchanged glances with The emperor, "Are you joking with us right now? Because this has to be some sort of joke. You said you knew where he would be," Master Yonda was audibly frustrated now. They had been on the road for a while, chasing after Oz. It wasn't supposed to take as long as it did, but they also had to eat and ease themselves."I am not joking. How about we go in there so you can see for yourself?" Kokohashi pointed to the tavern."That is a whore house!" The emperor laughed at the lamentation of his friend. "Do not laugh, it's no
Apart from the strange light that fell from the sky, it was looking like a pretty uneventful night as a watch guard. After storming out of the canteen with his food, Kakashi had come directly up into the watchtower. He looked at his meal, it had shrunk as cold bound every piece together. He felt no feeling of hunger, as he reminisced on what Jay had said. How could he think Jiro was involved in those attacks? It didn't make sense. He was angry when they accused him of being the culprit, he thought he of all people would understand the feeling of betrayal and false allegations better than anyone else. But then, what if he was right? "No no no, don't you dare try to spring it up that way. I know you think that Jiro is not a good guy, but until he proves otherwise I know he has no malice for anyone. And I know I am one not to see evil in people but-but… anyway, I just know he is not the one," Kakashi thought out loud."Not the one that has done what?" Kakashi was startled by the voice th
They were out of the place and stood in front of it. They thought long and hard before a voice broke the silence, "Do you really have gold?"They looked at each other and back at the man, "Yes, I do," The emperor replied"We cannot talk here, let us go to that corner," The man scanned through the premises, with his flowing jacket covering his head. Master Yonda was not sure about the idea. He had already been robbed, but he needed to see Oz, and his friend, The Emperor, was quite convincing with his look. The atmosphere had already been overwhelmed with darkness but for dimly lit lights hanging on the tavern's doors."Okay," Master Yonda concurred. The man looked over his shoulders with each step forward he took in front of Master Yonda and The Emperor. Master Yonda and The Emperor exchanged suspicious glances at each other about the stranger who was leading them beyond the corner they thought they were heading.Master Yonda and The Emperor stopped abruptly, “Hey! Where are you takin
"HA HA HA… YOU CAN NOT STOP ME NOW" Lord Zodiac voiced "Arghhh!" Kakashi's bones snapped, and his eyes lit up as he cried to the sky with a loud shriek of painJiro saw more monsters on the tower as Kakashi struggled to tame the demon from coming out. His eyes turned to each corner they came out from, his fists and teeth clenched.“I OWN YOU LITTLE BOY, YOU CANNOT STOP ME. WATCH ME KILL ALL YOUR FRIENDS NOW. I WILL TAKE OVER MY WORLD AGAIN, AND YOU CAN ONLY WATCH ME DO IT! DO NOT WORRY, I WILL MAKE YOUR DEATH PAINLESS” Jiro saw how Kakashi’s body twisted, the furs from his skin sat on his bulging big muscles. His hair lit up in red color, accompanying his eyes that burned with red flames. He watched as Kakashi screamed in physical pain, turning from a harmless boy into a consuming beast. A swipe to his face was followed by successive blows by the monsters that fell over one another in a bid to land their painful blows on him. He squealed in pain, his body was underneath their mercy
“To be fair, I think you would prefer to ask the lady who served us wine at the bar,” Master Yonda mocked“Haha... that is so funny” “Wait...” “What?” The emperor stressed as he rolled his eyes. He knew his friend was about to spoil the fun.“Did you see her legs?” Master Yonda stood to his feet“No. But I can assure you about the things I saw,” Master Yonda heard the emperor suck his teeth“What if that was Oz?” Master Yonda voiced; his tone came alive“No way...” The emperor’s eyes widened as the pieces of the puzzle finally started to click into place. The rays of sunlight peeped under the gates as the new day rose outside the prison. The emperor yawned, “Mm,” He reproved the smell of his breath “Finally, good morning, dear friend. I hope you enjoyed the beautiful space you rested your head?” Master Yonda greeted his friend“I do not feel particularly interested in staying here today. I do not know about you, because you seem very happy here judging by the tone of your voic
