The moment the referee’s voice was heard, Kakashi opened his mouth to surrender, but his words were cut short as the girl closed in on him with superhuman speed and connected a blow to his jaw. The blow connected neatly to his jaw, lifted him off the floor and sent him flying a few metres backwards. Kakashi landed on the floor with his fingers rubbing his jaw.He could have sworn he heard it cracked the moment the girl’s fist connected to it. Kakashi picked himself off the floor and attempted to surrender, but the girl closed the gap once more at tremendous speed and sent Kakashi flying further back with a single punch. Jiro Shoei wondered why Kakashi hadn’t surrendered like he had told him to. Now he was on the brink of letting the demon in him out. Not a good way to start school at Godlinkers High.‘This girl is not letting my surrender come easy’ Kakashi thought as he wiped the drool from his lips. He made to stand up but he could only fall back on his butt as his knees had other
“How did you do it?” Jiro dragged Kakashi out of the open space into a corner where no one could hear them. “Do what?” Kakashi’s smile showed his satisfaction from the reception he had just gotten. He was still nostalgic about the duel. Nothing could wipe the smile off his face now.“Talk now!” Jiro drew his palm towards Kakashi with energy blasting from it and pushing Kakashi hard against the wall. “Calm down dude. Why are you so angry? I just won, isn’t that what you wanted?” Kakashi winced in pain, confused about why Jiro had just blasted him against the wall.“I’m not going to ask again. Talk now or do you want what is inside you to pay a visit to mankind?” Jiro threatened Kakashi.“Woah man, how can you even say such? We are trying to fight this together and get it back entrapped. Why are you even saying such nonsense? Are you no longer a good chaos energy user?” Kakashi voiced his best freedom of speech. He had just gone through an unprepared fight with one of the best student
The day looked bright. The trees were shining in their radiant colors, the airbrushed through with a gentle breeze as the sun lit up a kind warmth. Kakashi woke up with a smile after the dinner he had with his new friends. He had gone back to meet with them after Jiro’s rather cryptic message. His face had swapped the smile into a frown now as he remembered the message, “Be careful who you call friends.” “Hey Takashi, are you not going to get ready?” Jay, Kakashi’s roommate reminded him of the practice they had. He thanked Jay as he got up to take his bath.Kakashi got to the arena, where an assembly had already been formed by the students. He saw Jiro at a corner, in his all-black attire. He scanned through the heads and backs of the students in search of Zoa and Tanya. He wasn’t particularly keen on seeing Daichi Cho, he didn’t seem very kind towards him. He wanted to stay clear. After a few turns of his neck and back screening, he saw Zoa and Tanya. He wasn’t excited by it, but
“Take cover! Everybodyyyyy, take cover!!” A soldier shouted over the walls as heavy footsteps were heard running furiously towards the gate. “Get out of here!” Jiro shouted at the students who looked dazed and in shock. “Get out now!” His spiky golden hair lit up as he jumped down from the elevated platform he was on. “Why are you still here? Run!” Jiro barked at Kakashi.“Noooooooooo!” The scream pierced the sky as his body fell to the floor.“Are you okay?” Zoa ran back towards the middle of all the chaos as she helped Kakashi to his feet. He had been knocked down from all the running of students in order to stay clear of whatever was causing the panic.Soldiers gathered in numbers. Kakashi never knew there were even soldiers until today. “Quickly raise the flag! Blow the beagle and raise the flag now!” The command came from a middle-aged looking man who was clad in cream combat shirt and chocolate flowing trousers with black jungle boots. “Move over to the wall!” The orders con
Daichi took to the action in what took the soldiers and teachers by surprise. He swung his chaos energy in style as he took on as many chaos monsters as he saw. He was both reckless and boisterous in his flow and skill. Jiro wasn’t having it difficult with the chaos monsters. They were little and even though they still posed threats, he made light work of eliminating them. He wasn’t impressed that they made him even consider wielding his katana – the katana. Such disrespect. And with such disrespect did he take out each and every monster he was faced with.Daichi in his stand-out crimson uniform and chopped blonde hair was making a huge impression – not on his teachers and soldiers – but on his fellow students who stood admiring his courage and skill. Two monsters charged at Daichi from opposite directions with their horns on their giant heads and body that exposed muscles. They were on all fours, but they were huge with horns and a short tail. As they charged towards him, he calc
Jiro looked exhausted as he continued swinging his chaos energy towards the chaos monsters that kept coming. “We need to close the gate. They keep coming, they are too much!” Jiro shouted his idea to the commander whose back was against his. “That’s suicide!” The commander shouted back. His voice conveyed concern. There weren’t enough soldiers around, as most had gone with the master to the field. It was unwise to put the rest in harm’s way, but something had to be done to these chaos monsters. They weren’t the highest and lethal ones but they were like ants that roamed around a granule of sugar.“We need to find a way!” Jiro whose spiky hair had fallen further down his face because of sweat spoke with determination. Jiro scouted around quickly while the commander held off more monsters. He tried to look for a way out of this, a way to get it all done once and for all. Had he made the right choice of bringing the vessel of a thousand-old demon to the safe house? He couldn’t have l
Jay remained frozen to the spot as other students ran to the open space after the loud thud of bodies they heard. The chaos monsters were on the ground, their purple blood making an art of the compound. Some of the monsters were burnt down, their ashes being blown away by the wind. “Get back, get back” Soldiers instructed the students who eagerly looked on as Jiro Shoei was being attended to. He had no blood on him but his spirit looked defeated as all attempts to revive him in that instance proved abortive. His eyes closed, his hands spread apart, just like his lips. “There is a pulse. It is faint, but he is still breathing. We need to take him out for proper medication.” The paramedic announced. The commander wished the master of the college was around to make this tough decision. It was risky, very risky to let anyone out at this time, especially when they needed to find out exactly how these chaos monsters were able to locate and force their way in. What was to say there would
“Help!” Kakashi screamed louder. “What are you guys doing? Do something about this. Do something fast, do something now!” The master who had just returned with the soldiers after a few days walked in on a medic attending to Kakashi.“We are doing everything we can. He just keeps burning up.” The medic replied. “They all keep burning up.” He added as he pointed at Zoa, Tanya, Daichi, and Jiro all lying beside one another. Jiro had been brought back from the city after confirmations reported his case not being medically inclined. He had followed the master’s escort. “I do not care what you have to do, save them!” The master looked from the medic to the bodies that lay motionless, their fever causing sporadic screams. “Please, save them” His eyes fixated on Zoa, his eyes begging and suffering. ***Zoa woke up in no man’s land. She looked at both sides and it was empty. She made to stand and she heard a crack. ‘What was that?’ She questioned internally. She looked down in slow motion
