Chapter 3: The reason why people don't like changes, is because of their love for their past and present
the
battle begin with a clash of blows between the fighters' katana. The
two fighters quickly push against their opponent trying to establish a
stronghold over another. Another few more blows, the two leap
backward to keep a distance them. And move into their battle stance
again. After a few more eyes exchange, Ketsudai swing his sword down
aiming to slice apart Shaun body from his clavicle, more commonly known
as the collar bone. This action force a respond from Shaun knowing that
if he don't block this attack, he will undoubtedly die.
He raise
his blade to block to the attack but in his position, the strength of
the attack, gain from the momentum, overwhelm his block forcing the
commander, to use his left hand to give support to his block by pushing
against the back of his sword. While this move prevent him from dying,
it is not without a price. It leave an opening in his abdomen. Ketsudai
did not let this chance slip away and threw in a upset punch dealing
quite a fair bit of damage.
Shaun groan in pain but this does
not stop Ketsudai from attacking. He continues now by thrusting his
sword through his opponent 's torso finishing his attack with a kick to
the temple of the commander.
This sent Shaun flying toward a rock
and crush against a boulder. The commander is now coughing out blood
now with his opponent standing there relatively unharmed.
“I
will not fall like that, I not so weak to be defeated by you so easily”
Shaun begin to make threat, yelling across the land to ensure Ketsudai
can heard it, like a beast which is nothing more than an empty threat
to the resistance's member who is making his way toward the empire's
member, dragging his katana along the way.
“taste the fruit of
my labour” Shaun scream in rage and charge an energy in within his
fist, now cracking with electricity, pouring in every ounce of energy
he had in his body.
Ketsudai sensing what is going to follow pick up his pace and creating a loud noise from the kinetic friction.
“it
is too late to regret now, take this, Hofukuookami” the four of spade
roar as he fires his full charge up attack. A lightning
“You
make three mistakes. One, who is afraid.” Ketsudai jump straight up
dodging the attack but not without stabbing the electricity attack with
his katana. Now, several feet in the air, he threw his katana toward
Shaun. It is a hit and the katana stab into the dark hair teen's thigh.
The burning sensation, heated up by the friction and electricity, course through his blood stream.
“Argrrrahhhhh”
he scream in agony and nearly pass out, if not for his pride of not
wanting to faint in front of his enemy. It is an overwhelming victory
to his red eye opponent.
“Second, to think you use that attack
as a last resort is damn stupid. Why did you not use it earlier to
create an opening or something. You do not have much battle experience
I guess.” Ketsudai is now standing in front of Shaun and is looking
down on him.
“Those eye I know them, the eye that say the
result is expected.....like that man” the thought of it stir up several
feeling mostly hatred as seen in the commander's eyes.
“Kill me” he spoke
it
is a request, to uphold his pride much as he did not want it. It can be
seen in his tone, that he had something that have yet to be accomplish
but he remains silent. He will not bow down and ask for mercy. A
honorable death on the battlefield losing to someone stronger than him.
That is his ideal death.
Ketsudai begin to pull out his sword
from Shaun's thigh, raising it higher than his wrist as blood drips
down from the tips of it.
he close his eyes, preparing for the blow
“With this I will die”
or that is what he thoughts till he heard the sound of a katana sheathing.
“ Thirdly, I shall not kill you”
“why?”
his tone made it evident that he is angry. He felt humiliated. He had
gave in his all, and he expects death. Yet he is spare of it, out of
mercy. It hurt him. The emotional pain now is far greater than his
physical pain from the battle.
“don't worry. It is not out of
mercy. I need you to convey a message from our leader to your emperor.
Tell him, the ceasefire have ended. The same as our alliance from three
years ago. But I guess that beside the point since he had re post our
wanted poster. The war shall begin again from 2 weeks from now.”
"I
will convey it. But tell me first, why do you want to over throne us.
It make no sense. No matter how much I think of it, the current world
is so much better than the past. the people of the past always think of
themselves as the greatest lifeforms. The keep on destroying the
environment and even when they know about it, they still go on. Such
behaviour do you think it should be change."
"I do not care such thing. What we of the forest wish for is just to claim back our land and history. Our pride."
The
teen keep quiet. While he is against the idea of starting a war over
something trival like land or history, he know that claiming back the
pride will make it worthwhile.
The sword now sheath and the red eye man pick up his coat left on the ground and don it again. Rushuna then run after him.
“What up”
“I want to join the Shiromori. I wish to take part in the upcoming war"
Then, without replying, he grabbed the girl's wrist and the two disappear into thin air.
Meanwhile,
Shaun look down and the ground and grabbed a handful of the sand. While
he had calm down, he still angry over humiliation from his battle ago.
And he swore
“You shall regret it for sparing my life. One
day, I will be the one to the deal the final blow to destroy the
Shiromori. Not Kaiten nor anyone else. It will be me. I swore on my
name.”
Chapter 3 is done. the update is still slow I see.
Hopefully I will finish all the way till chapter 10 by school reopen.
And here the first battle scene. I must say I bad at it. guess more
work to be done.
