Chapter 021

  Rebuilding Powers

  Kei *smiles* as he looks down at Minato and Masaru as he says

  “You two will be at my side while we take over the Fujiwara region!” Masaru says

  “Yes my lord, but is that region not burned down?” Kei says

  “Yes it is, but we will rebuild it bigger and stronger than ever. As we build the region back we will build our armies up as well, and we will conquer this world!” Minato says

  “As you command, my lord!” Kei walks back towards the village with Minato and Masaru behind him as they walk it into Miura’s office and Kei sits back in his chair as Masaru and Minato stand at different sides of the desk and Kei puts his hand up as Miura appears looking towards the office door and Miura is *confused* and he turns around and is *shocked* as he sees everyone standing in front of him and Kei says

  “Miura, I will need you to take my place here” Miura says

  “Where are you going my lord?” Kei *smiles* as he says

  “To rebuild a dynasty!” Miura says

  “Of course my lord...But do you need any of my soldiers? I believe...I could-” Kei says

  “No, I have enough soldiers. Stay here and wait for my orders!” Kei puts his hand up as Hironaka, Matsuno, Miyamoto, appear in the middle of the room and Matsuno is *shocked* as he notices Minato and Masaru and he rushes Masaru as he tries to punch him but Minato catches his wrist as Minato tries to punch him but Matsuno catches his hand as Hironaka puts an ice blade to Minato’s neck but Masaru has two fingers on Hironaka’s throat as Kei says

  “Enough! Matsuno,Hironaka both of you are coming with me. Miyamoto, I want you to move most of my army to the Fujiwara region!” Miyamoto is *shocked* as he says

  “Uhh...I’ll have to ask Lord Kin–” Miyamoto is *scared* as Kei looks into his eyes and Miyamoto bows as he says

  “Yes my lord!” Kei stands up as he says

  “Good!” Kei puts his hand up as Miyamoto disappears and says

  “Now, the rest of you are with me!” Hironaka looks at Kei and says

  “Where are we going my lord?” Kei says

  “We’re to the Fujiwara region” Matsuno is *shocked* as he says

  “Home!?” Kei says

  “Correct, but were going to rebuild it and make it better!” Kei walks towards the door as everyone starts to follow as Kei stops in the doorway and looks back at Miura as he says

  “You are my eyes and ears here Miura, and I know what kind of man you are! Don't try to play me, if Kingsman ever shows up in our region...I'll kill you next!” Miura is *shocked* as he says

  “Of course not, my lord! I would never try to play you, I just-” Kei turns around as he walks out of the room and everyone follows them

  At the same time Riku rushes through the trees as he uses his wind to create chains that restrain his shadows arms and even the corners of it's mouth as a wind mask wraps around it's mouth and Riku jumps out of the trees and walk up to his shadow as he says

  “I guess you're not as good as me, maybe you underestimated me Sen-” Suddenly Riku *spits up blood* as he looks down and sees his shadows morphed the wind around it's wrist turning it into a wind blade and Riku looks up as his shadow breaths in and absorbs the mask as it fires compressed wind shots from it's mouth and they hit Riku in the chest as he's sent flying back and he slams into the ground as his shadow steps up and stands over Riku as it continues firing compressed wind shots at Riku and Riku *screams in pain* as he puts his hand up and creates a quickly spinning small wind force field around him as it stops the compressed wind shots and he slowly stands up as the force field expands and his shadow jumps back as it *deeply breathes in* and fires a hundreds of compressed wind shots as it quickly starts rushing all around Riku's force field and it starts cracking all over as Riku struggles to keep his hands up until he falls onto the ground *out of breath* as he quickly tries to stand up but he falls onto the ground and Riku is *shocked* as he stops and thinks

  "Wait, why did everything suddenly go so quiet outside!?" Riku puts his hands up as his force field slows down and he is *confused* as he cannot see his shadow anywhere and Riku quickly looks all around the trees until he closes his eyes and thinks

  "If this thing is me that means...Above!" Suddenly something heavy slams into the top of the force field and Riku drops to one knee as he looks into the air and sees his shadow stabbing his sword into the top of his force field as it jumps into the air and put its hand up as it absorbs the sword and creates giant wind chains wraps around it's wrist as it slams the chains into the top of Riku's force field and it heavily cracks all over as Riku falls down and puts his hand on the ground holding himself up as he says

  “You really are me…So that means we can stop this!” Riku pushes himself up as he sits on the ground and *calms his breathing* as he starts meditating and his force field slows down until it disappears and his shadow lands on the ground as it rushes him and tries to hit him with the chains but Riku puts his hands up as he grabs them both and the wind in the chains start violently spinning as they break both of the shadows arms and Riku pulls both of the chains towards him as he puts his hand together and the chains wrap around Riku's shadow as Riku starts meditating and his shadows puts his hand up but suddenly the chains tighten as Riku says

  “Not again!” Riku slowly puts one hand up as he creates a giant cube around them and Riku stands up as he turns around and starts walking away as his shadow rushes him and tries to kick him in the back of his head as suddenly a wind spike stabs through Riku's shadows foot and stops an inch from Riku's head as he turns around and opens his eyes as he looks into his shadows eyes and says

  “This fight is over!” Suddenly his shadows stabbed through his back by thousand of wind spikes as Riku slowly walks up to his shadow and puts one finger on it's head as he looks into its eyes and says

  "I'm sorry" Riku's wind covers with wind as wind slowly starts to pierce his shadows head and it melts onto the floor as it reconnects with Riku's feet and Riku looks at his hands as he thinks

  “I truly did it...I can be just like them! But even though you are dead...I still wish to try my best to make you proud! Even though...I know the last thing you thought about me was-" Suddenly the giant cube violently shakes as it cracks all over and Riku turns around as he sees Kingsman punch the giant cube and it starts to fade away and Riku walks towards Kingsman as Kingsman punches the giant cube and it shatters as it fades away into the wind and Kingsman looks down at Riku as he says

  “Damn Riku, that thing was strong!” Riku *smiles* as he says

  “Thank you Sensei, this training was exactly what I needed. It feels like...Something in me has awakened!” Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “I know, would you like to watch your other brothers fights?” Riku *chuckles* as he says

  “Yes sir, but I bet Dai finishes last!” Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  "More than likely!"

  At the same time Itsuki rushes Kenji’s shadow as Kenji rushes Itsuki’s shadow and Kenji and Itsuki's shadow start clashing punches as Kenji starts pushing Itsuki’s shadow back until Kenji catches Itsuki's shadow's hand and freezes it as he punches Itsuki shadow all over it's chest until suddenly Kenji *screams in pain* as he surges with lightning and Kenji slowly looks at Itsuki's shadow as he notices Its chest is covered in a thin layer of lightning and Itsuki's shadow punches Kenji in the face as he goes flying back and Itsuki's shadow appears behind Kenji as it punches him in the back launching him into the air and Itsuki's shadow looks at Kenji as it slowly lifts its hand and it surges with lightning as a giant lightning bolt slams into Kenji's chest with such force it shines a blinding light all over the sky and Kenji *spits up blood* as Ituski's shadow appears in the lightning and stomps Kenji on his chest slamming him into the ground as Itsuki's shadow stands on Kenji's chest and it puts its foot on Kenji's neck as it slowly presses down on his neck and Kenji is *shocked* as he *weakly* tries to push its foot off his neck and he can't as he thinks

  "Damn...This thing really is like Itsuki!" Itsuki's shadow moves it's foot as he tries to punch Kenji but Kenji dodges it as Itsuki’s shadows arm is in the ground and he freezes it as he rolls to the side and stands up as he creates an ice gauntlet and he punches Itsuki’s shadow in the face as Itsuki's shadow tries to punch Kenji but suddenly it's hand is covered in a giant block of ice dropping its arms to the ground as he continues punching it all over its body until the block of ice hits the ground and suddenly a giant block of ice surrounds Itsuki's shadow as Kenji sits on the ground and *sighs* as he slowly puts his hand on his stomach and puts a hand up as a giant bolt of lightning hits the top of the giant block of ice and it cracks all over as the ice quickly seals all the cracks and Kenji puts his hand on the ground as he says

  “I guess i’ll have to end this” Kenji taps the ground as it covers in ice and a ice dragon quickly flies out of the ice and into the air as its suddenly hit in the face by a bolt of lightning and the ice dragon cracks all over as it flies down towards the giant ice block and Kenji snaps as a hole in the ice opens up and the ice dragon slams directly into Itsuki's shadows chest as it explodes with such force it launches Kenji back and he slams into the ground as he slowly stands up and notices Itsuki fighting his shadow as Itsuki dodges all of his shadow's punches and Kenji is *shocked* as he thinks

  "Wait, is he stronger than me!?" Itsuki catches Kenji's shadow wrist as he uppercuts it and kicks it in the chest launching it back as it slams into the ground and Itsuki rushes up as he stomps on it's head and Itsuki's foot surges with lightning as Kenji's shadow tries to move his foot but it can't as Itsuki drops his knee on the side of Kenji's shadow neck knocking him out and Itsuki stands up as he grabs Kenji's shadow by the neck but suddenly Itsuki's right hand starts to freeze as he *screams in pain* and drops Kenji's shadow as his right hand surges with lightning but the ice around his hand doesn't shatter and Itsuki is *shocked* as he thinks

  "How deeply did he freeze my hand!?" Suddenly Itsuki notices the ground around Kenji’s shadow starts freezing and Itsuki lifts his left hand as his hand surges with lightning and he summons his sword as he stabs Kenji’s shadow through the back and Itsuki tightly grips his sword as he lifts Kenji’s shadow into the air and calls down a bolt of lightning down onto it's chest as Itsuki notices his sword is starting to freeze and Kenji's shadows body starts covering with ice as Itsuki calls a large bolt of lightning hitting Kenji's shadow in the chest and it cracks the ice around Kenji shadow's chest as Kenji's shadow slowly puts his hand up and grabs Itsuki's sword as it starts freezing faster and Itsuki *screams in anger* as he clenches his right hand with such force the ice shatters and he tightly grips his sword as he surges with such lightning the ground around them shatters and a extremely large bolt of lightning hits Kenji's shadow in the chest as it shatters all the ice around and kicks up dust everywhere and as the dust clears Kenji is *shocked* as he sees his shadow missing an arm with a whole in his chest and Itsuki turns his sword around as he stabs it into the ground and slamming Kenji's shadow into the ground and Itsuki turns his sword around as he pulls his sword through Kenji's shadow's stomach and through its neck as Kenji's shadow melts into the ground and reattaches to Kenji as Itsuki stabs his sword into the ground and looks into the air as he closes his eyes and falls back onto the ground as he starts *laughing* and Kenji walks up to Itsuki as he looks down and *smiles* as Itsuki opens his eyes and sees Kenji standing over him and he *smiles* until he notices someone standing in the air above them as Itsuki stands up and pushes Kenji out of the way as he puts a hand up and calls down lightning on the person in the air and the person puts their hand up as they block the lightning and he slowly flies down towards them as Itsuki grabs his sword and tightly grips it as he says

  "I don't know how much I can fight, because of my hand. But I won't run!" Kenji steps up next to Itsuki as he *smiles* and grabs Itsuki's shoulder as he creates an ice gauntlet and looks into the air as he says

  "Same with your lighting, but I'm not complaining!" The person lands in front of them as they are *shocked* and see Kingsman with Riku on his shoulder as Itsuki drops his sword into the ground and drops to one knee as he says

  “I’m sorry Sensei, I didn’t know it was you!” Kingsman sits Riku on the ground as he looks down at Itsuki and kicks him in the chest as he flies back and slams against a tree as he *screams in pain* and Itsuki slowly looks up and is *shocked* as he sees Kingsman holding his lightning sword inches from his face and Kingsman looks Itsuki in the eyes as he says

  “If you ever speak to me on your knees again, I’ll kill you!” Kingsman stabs the sword next to Itsuki's head as Itsuki notices Kingsman using his hand to hold the lightning sword and Kingsman says

  "You thought I could hold your sword? The only person allowed to wield your blade is you, even if I used my full strength and your own hand and swung at you with it...It wouldn't leave a scratch!" Itsuki is *shocked* as he says

  "Really!?" Kingsman says

  "It's bound to you, no one could harm you with it! Now stand up" Kingsman puts his hand out and Itsuki takes it as he stands up and he says

  “Sensei, I-” Suddenly a large earthquake violently shakes the ground and Kenji is *shocked* as he says

  "Is the planet about to snap in half!? I've never felt an earthquake this strong!” Kingsman says

  “Oh no! We have to go, I shouldn't have let them fight this long!” Riku is *confused* as he says

  “What’s going on Sensei!?” Kingsman says

  “Dai is still fighting his shadow, now let's go!” Kingsman grabs Itsuki as he rushes Kenji and puts him on his back as he grabs Riku and quickly flies over to the field of flowers as he looks around until he is *stunned* as he notices a giant hole in the ground in the distance and Itsuki looks around as he says

  “Where’s Dai?” Kingsman flies over as he lands near the giant hole and everyone is *shocked* but suddenly a giant shockwave comes from the hole as everyone is pushed back except Kingsman and Kingsman looks down as he *smiles* and sees Dai and his shadow clash fist as another giant shockwave causes a giant earthquake and Kingsman drops into the hole as everyone runs over and looks into the hole as they see Dai and his shadow both grab each other hands as Dai *screams in anger* as his fire violently surges around him and they both start pushing against each other as they start sinking into the ground until Dai headbutts his shadow and pushes it back as he rushes it and it rushes him as they both try to punch the other but Kingsman lands between them and he catches both punches as an even larger shockwave destroys the ground underneath them and lava starts sinking in through the walls and the ground as Kingsman says

  "Time to go!" Kingsman throws them both into the air as Riku,Kenji and Itsuki looks into the air as Dai and his shadow clash fist with such force they clear the sky of clouds as they both try to punch the other but Dai stops his fist inches from his shadows face as he notices wind chains restraining its arms and Dai looks at Riku as he *screams in anger* and throws a giant fireball at him as everyone is *shocked* but Kingsman flies out of the hole as he punches the fireball and lands in front of Riku as he looks up at Dai and Dai screams

  "NONE OF YOU INTERFERE, THIS IS MY FIGHT ALONE!" Kingsman looks into Dai's eyes as he says

  "We will respect your wishes, but don't threaten my son again!" Dai turns back as he grabs his shadows by the face and pushes it back as the chains around it shatters and it slams into the ground as Dai looks down at it and says

  "If you're really me...Then you should be able to kill me!" Dai's fire violently surges as he tightly clenches both his hand and his gauntlets slowly form around his hands as Kingsman is *shocked* and thinks

  "Those flames...You're amazing Dai! If you truly started training your element as much as you normally trained you'd have already dwarfed the power of the sun, but for now just show me what the flames that are almost equal to the sun can do!" Dai's shadow quickly stands up as it jumps into the air and tries to punch Dai but Dai catches its hand as he punches it in the stomach and launches it back through the air as Dai *smiles* and says

  "I've been waiting to use this against Sensei, but I never got to test it on someone...I appreciate your sacrifice!" Dai's gauntlet fully forms around his hand as everyone is *shocked* and notices Dai's fire gauntlets are burning brighter as Dai appears behind his shadow and uses

  "Blazing Gatling" Dai’s arms erupts into flames as he flies around his shadow and starts relentlessly hitting his shadow with a barrage of punches but every punch from Dai burns away part of his shadow as the air around them erupts into the flames from the speed and force of Dai's punches until Dai uppercuts his shadow as it turns into ashes and Dai is *out of breath* as he slowly flies down but his fire is so hot it starts burning a hole in the ground and Dai absorbs his fire as he lands on the ground and looks at Riku as he says

  "Don't ever-" Suddenly Kingsman grabs his shoulder as he *smiles* and says

  "You've gotten really strong!" Dai pulls away from Kingsman as he says

  "I told you I was going to be the strongest, this is just the beginning! Don't get lazy on your training, because I'm still coming for you!" Itsuki steps up to Dai as he says

  “Don’t get to cocky, I will be the strongest!” Kenji looks at Kingsman as he says

  “Father, who do you think would win in a fight between all of us?” Kingsman says

  “In a sparring match between all of you…Riku would win, he's smart enough to restrain all of you stopping the fight instantly! But to the death…Dai would win! All of you have it in the back of your heads thinking it's ok to lose if you've done all you can, which it is! But Dai is a psycho and he has it in his head he can beat anyone with enough time, and plus his fire gets hotter as he gets angrier. So eventually he’d either beat all of you with pure strength or he’d destroy the entire plant your fighting on. He was almost at the core of this planet, i’d say about three or four more punches and he would have hit the core of the planet! Crazy thing, he would have only gotten stronger if he hit the core of the planet" Dai *laughs* as he looks in Itsuki's eyes and says

  “I told all of you, I'm the strongest!'' Itsuki says

  “Didn’t you also hear Sensei say that Riku would win as well, technically Riku could beat you if he wanted to!” Kenji is *shocked* as he says

  “Wait, Riku and Dai would beat me and Itsuki?'' Kingsman says

  “Yes, Riku has the best reaction time and he has watched and studied all of you during our training truly paying attention to all of your limitations. Also he can stop a lot of your attacks, and Dai is far stronger than all of you physically. And he can take more damage than all of you combined, and still stand up pretending he's fine!” Dai looks at Riku as he says

  “Let’s go again, this time no holding back at all!” Itsuki looks at Kingsman as he says

  “Wait, what about me and Kenji?” Kingsman says

  “Between the both of you…Itsuki, you would win!” Kenji is *stunned* and says

  “What!? I'm the weakest!'' Kingsman looks at Kenji as he *smiles* and says

  “No, you're my son. But you care too much about everybody else to truly go all out and do what is necessary” Dai looks at Kingsman as he says

  “If he’s not the weakest, then who is?” Kingsman says

  “The strongest of all of you is…Me!” Itsuki *sighs* as he says

  “Sensei, we're being serious!” Kingsman says

  “All right fine, the strongest out of all of you is…Itsuki! He’s the fastest, best with his element, best fighter, and the most skilled with his weapon!” Dai is *shocked* as he says

  “What!?” Dai pulls out his Kusarigama as he cuts down a tree and wraps his chain around it as the chain erupts into flames and the chains split the tree as the tree logs stack perfectly back leaving the tree looking unscathed and Dai looks at Kingsman as he says

  “Your telling me he’s better than me!? Plus he hasn't beaten me in a fight!” Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  “Dai you barely use your Kusarigama, and Itsuki still has an unfair advantage!" Riku is *confused* as he says

  The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

  "How!?" Kingsman says

  "All of you use your weapons as just weapons, but Itsuki's sword is inside of his lightning and because of that he wields it like an extension of his arm!" Riku says

  “I actually never thought about how much Itsuki uses his sword, and now that I am thinking about it...I don't think he's fought without it" Kenji says

  “I still think I can beat Itsuki!” Kingsman says

  “Possibly, but I think he can beat all of you. But as a team, Dai and Riku would be unstoppable!” Dai says

  “Hmm, I guess you're right. Me and Riku would beat these bums” Kingsman *laughs* as he turns around and starts walking away as everyone follows behind him and Itsuki looks at Dai as he says

  “BUMS! Me and Kenji will beat you both with ease, Sensei just thinks Riku can do the heavy lifting in the fight!” Dai is *shocked as he clenches his fist in anger* and says

  "What!? I can take all three of you by myself, right now!" Riku, Itsuki and Kenji all stop walking as they surround Dai and Kingsman keeps walking away as he *laughs extremely hard*

  At the same time Saigo's eyes slowly open as he tries to move but he *screams in pain* and he looks around as he *weakly* says

  "Kenshin...Where are yo-" Suddenly Saigo's eyes freeze as he sees Kenshin's body on the ground and Saigo starts *crying* as he slowly crawls over to Kenshin and *through his tears* says

  "No, not like this Kenshin! Please...Don't die like this! We had so much left to do!" Suddenly Saigo feels a cold hand on his shoulder and he quickly looks up as he sees Kenshin eyes are slightly open and *weakly* says

  "I'm sorry Saigo...I shouldn't have dragged you out here and gotten you hurt! But unfortunately...I can't make it back to the village...Which means I'll have to break our promise! Please...Tell Gyomei and Lord Kaito that I'm-" Kenshin *coughs up blood* and Saigo is *shocked* as he grabs Kenshin shirt and *through his tears* screams

  "I WON'T LEAVE YOU...I DON'T KNOW HOW WERE GOING TO MAKE IT BACK BUT WE ARE!" Kenshin slowly grabs Saigo's hand on his chest as he moves it up and rests Saigo's hand on a chain on his neck as Saigo is *stunned* and says

  "No! Kenshin your father gave you that before he...I won't take it! It's yours and you're going to keep it, because you're going to be ok!" Kenshin *weakly* says

  “Please…Saigo, when I die I want you to have this!” Saigo *wipes his tears* as he says

  “No, you're going to be fine!” Kenshin *smiles and weakly* says

  “Then please…Hold it for me until we get to the village, but if I die...Can you bury me in our spot!?” Saigo takes the chain and puts it around his neck and Saigo crawls away and he reaches back and pulls Kenshin up to him and Saigo thinks

  "If...You do then I will honor your wish, but I promise we are not going to die in this village! We will make it home!"

  At the same time Kingsman and everyone else walks into the backyard as Itsuki and Dai are still arguing and Kingsman opens the back door as they all walk into the kitchen and Kingsman says

  “Akita, do it!” Riku notices Akita cooking as she looks at them and he covers his ears as Akita starts whistling and everyone passes out except Kingsman as he continues walking towards the living room and Akita is *confused* and says

  “Kingsman, how come you didn’t pass out?” Kingsman walks into the living room as he lays down on the couch and closes his eyes and Akita walks into the living room as she is *concerned* and says

  “Kingsman, did I do something wrong!?” Kingsman doesn't even acknowledge her and she is *shocked* and she slowly walks over to him as she gently shakes him and he opens his eyes and says

  “Yes?” Akita is *worried* as she says

  “Are you mad at me?” Kingsman is *confused* as he says

  “No, why would I be? Should I be?” Akita says

  “I was trying to talk to you, but you weren’t responding to me” Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

  “Oh, I made myself deaf” Akita is *shocked* as she says

  “What!? How did you do that?” Kingsman says

  “Sometimes they annoy me and I've trained myself to be able to shut off all my senses, hell I’ve even started fighting without using any of my senses. That’s actually how I fight in the basement!” Akita says

  “Have you made yourself deaf while we're talking?” Kingsman looks away from her eyes as he says

  “No” Akita is *shocked* as she says

  “Kingsman!” Kingsman looks in her eyes as he says

  “What!? I said no!” Akita says

  “Do you love me?” Kingsman looks in her eyes as he says

  “Of course!” Akita says

  “Do you love the kids?” Kingsman says

  “Sometimes” Akita says

  “Have you made yourself deaf while we were talking?” Kingsman looks away from her eyes as he says

  “No!” Akita is *shocked* as she says

  “Kingsman, why would you do that!?” Kingsman looks back at her as he says

  “I just said no, why are you mad at me!?” Akita turns around as she walks back into the kitchen and Kingsman stands up as he walks into the kitchen and sees everyone sitting in there chairs and Kingsman sits down as Akita sits plates down in front of everyone except Kingsman and he is *confused* as he says

  “Where’s mine?” Akita points at the counter as Kingsman notices his plate on the counter and Kingsman *sighs* as he says

  "I don't understand why you're mad at me!" Kingsman looks over and sees Kenji about to take a bite of his food but he punches Kenji in the face making him fall onto the ground as Kingsman grabs his plate and tries to take a bite of food but Akita grabs the plate as she sits it back in front of Kenji's spot and sits down as Kingsman *sighs* and looks at her as he says

  “Baby, I didn’t do anything” Suddenly Kenji pops up behind Kingsman as he tries to stab him with the Cursed Kunai and Akita says

  “Stop!” Kenji stops the Cursed Kunai inches from Kingsman's shoulder blade as he leans close to Kingsman and whispers

  “You got lucky, mom stopped me!” Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “She wasn’t talking to you!” Kenji is *shocked* as he looks down and notices Kingsman has a knife to his stomach and Akita stands up as she walks over and snatches the Cursed Kunai and knife out of both of their hands as she puts them both in a drawer and Kingsman stands up as he puts his hand on Kenji’s head and says

  “Don’t hesitate next time, you might actually win!” Kingsman pushes Kenji back as he *laughs* and walks upstairs as Kenji *clenches his fist in anger* as he walks towards the stairs and Akita says

  "Can you please sit down and eat honey!" Kenji *sighs* as he turns around and looks at her as he *smiles* and says

  "All right, but I just want you to know your husband is going to get hurt" Kenji walks over to his chair and sits down but suddenly his chair drops into the floor as Kenji falls onto the ground and he is *confused* as he stands up and looks around as he sees nothing but darkness around him until he looks up and sees the pool of darkness as he notices he can see the kitchen ceiling and he *laughs* as he says

  "Did you bring me into the basement to not be embarrassed in front of your wife!? Then I accept your challenge old man!" Kenji looks around as he doesn't notice a hand reach out of the darkness until he turns around and is grabbed by the face as he is quickly pulled into the darkness and Kenji drops to the floor as he looks around and sees darkness and stars all around him and he is *amazed* as he thinks

  "Am I in space!?" Suddenly a voice from behind him says

  "No, it is something I created!" Kenji is *shocked* and he quickly turns around as he sees Kingsman standing behind him but he notices Kingsman's eyes are closed as he says

  "But this wasn't a challenge, I simply have a question about the last statement you'd made. Who could possibly hurt me!?" Kenji *smiles* as he says

  "You're looking at him!" Kingsman says

  "You're not old enough,strong enough,fast enough, or even smart enough to scratch me! But yet you've still hurt me!" Kenji rushes Kingsman as he tries to punch him but Kingsman disappears as Kenji looks around and says

  "Stop hiding in your darkness and let's test that theory!" Kingsman's voice echoes all around Kenji as he *laughs* and says

  "We already have, you lost! But if you would like to try again then you'll still need your uncle and all of your brothers strength behind you to hurt me!" Kenji turns around as he looks at Kingsman and *smiles* as he says

  "When I beat you, I'll do it with my strength...And my strength alone! I don't care how long it takes, I'll become stronger than you no matter what!" Kingsman *sighs as he chuckles* and says

  "Then stay dreaming until you're ready to admit defeat, because beating me alone is something no will ever do!" Kingsman reaches out as he gently touches Kenji's face and says

  "No one will ever replace you, and I will wait until you change your mind!" Kenji opens his mouth but suddenly he's pushed out of the darkness as he flies back through the pool of darkness with such force he hits the ceiling as he falls down and hits his head against the table and everyone is *shocked* as Akita stands up and is *worried* as she says

  "Kenji, are you ok!?" Kenji slowly stands up as he's *holding his head in pain* and says

  "I'm ok!" Dai *laughs* as he says

  "Your-" Kenji is *irritated* as he says

  "I'm not getting clumsy Dai, and shut up Itsuki! Dad did this to me, but it was only because he caught me off guard!" Everyone is *confused* and Riku says

  "Kenji, wh-" Kenji looks at Riku as he's *still holding his head in pain* and says

  "What do you mean what am I talking about Riku, Dai said I was getting clumsy and Itsuki laughed with him and said I might have drank some of fathers sake!" Itsuki is *shocked* and says

  "How did you know that!? I had just thought that" Kenji is *confused* as he says

  "You just said it!" Riku says

  "Kenji nobody said anything except Akita, plus Dai didn't even get to finish his statement. Neither did I!" Kenji is *shocked* and says

  "What!? But I heard all of you...Did I?" Akita says

  "Umm...Everyone let's just sit down and eat, ok?" Kenji pulls his chair out as he notices a pool of darkness opening up on the ceiling and he points his hand up at it but suddenly he feels pressure on the back of his knees as he's pushed down in his chair and Kenji tries to speak but as he opens his mouth he feels something stopping his voice and he looks around as he sees everyone eating in silence and he thinks

  "Mom, I need help! Itsuki, look at me! Riku, do something!" Kenji looks around until he notices his plate is empty and he is *confused* and suddenly Kingsman's voice comes through the pool of darkness as he says

  "I appreciate the meal, boy!" Kenji looks up at the pool of darkness as he thinks

  "You old bastard, you're going to regret it!" Kenji looks down and is *shocked* as he notices everyone is done eating and all stand up as Akita walks over to Kenji and grabs his plate as she looks at him and says

  "I don't know why you were so quiet looking at the ceiling, but if you need to talk we can. I love you Kenji!" Akita kisses him as she grabs everyone elses plate and washes them as Kenji tries to stand up but he's *shocked* as he cannot move and he thinks

  "Wait, why can't I get up!? Why can't I move!? WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!?" Akita finishes the dishes as she walks upstairs and Riku follows behind her as Itsuki walks towards the stairs but stops as he notices Kenji still sitting at the table and he walks over to Kenji as he says

  “Are you alright, you've never been this quiet. Especially with everything Dai was saying to you" Suddenly Kenji is *shocked* as he feels something let go of him and he looks at the ceiling as he notices the pool of darkness is gone and Itsuki looks at the ceiling as he says

  "And why do you keep looking at the ceiling!?" Kenji looks at Itsuki as he says

  "I'm fine...But I have been thinking more about how dad sees me" Itsuki says

  "What do you think he sees you as?" Kenji *sighs* as he says

  "The weakest out of all of us!" Itsuki is *shocked* as he says

  “What are you talking about!?” Kenji says

  “When we were outside he said you were the best out of all of us, Dai would beat all of us in a fight with no rules, but Riku would beat us in a match with limitations. He even told me now that I can't beat him without all of you and our uncle!” Itsuki says

  “That doesn’t mean he thinks your weak, you might not be the best fighter, or the most ruthless but you are an amazing leader just like dad! Plus he didn’t see when you fought Matsuno in the water, you’re extremely strong and smart but you also have a big heart! Just because you won’t beat someone to death doesn’t mean your weak, please trust me when I tell you...Father knows your real strength'' Kenji *smiles* as he says

  “You're right, I just over thought a little bit. Thanks Itsuki!'' Itsuki *smiles* as he says

  “Don’t worry about it, let’s get some sleep!” Kenji stands up as he walks upstairs with Itsuki

  The next morning Akita is cooking in the kitchen as Kingsman walks downstairs and sits down at the table as he says

  “Are you still mad at me?” But Akita doesn’t respond or even look at him and he *sighs* as he says

  "Alright, I understand Akita! I only did it once and that was because you were talking to Akemi, I'm sorry I should be listening when you talk!” But she still doesn’t respond or look at him and he stands up as he walks over to her and he notices she stuffed tissue in her ears and he *laughs* as he pulls them out and says

  “Really!? It's that serious” Akita turns around as she crosses her arms and says

  “Yes, you ignored me when I was talking so I'm doing the same!'' She takes the tissue back out of Kingsman’s hand and tries to put them back into her ears but Kingsman puts his hands over her ears as he says

  “It was only one time, but this is your second time doing it to me! That's not fair!” Akita looks Kingsman in his eyes as she says

  “You promise it was only once?” Kingsman looks into her eyes as he says

  “Yes, I promise it was only one time!” Akita *smiles* as she says

  “Ok!” Kingsman kisses her on her nose as she *laughs* and says

  “Why did you kiss me on my nose?” Kingsman says

  “I’ve never noticed before but you have a cute nose, I’ve always looked at all of you and never paid too much attention to the smaller details but I will now!” Akita kisses Kingsman as she says

  “Aww, thank you!” She turns around and continues to cook as Kingsman turns around and walks back to the table but he bumps into the edge of it as he rubs his eyes and looks at Akita as he sits down and thinks

  “Shouldn’t do that to fast next time" Kenji,Itsuki, Dai and Riku all rushes down stairs as Dai says

  “Sensei?” Kingsman watches Akita as he says

  “Dai?” Dai says

  “What’s the training for today?” Kenji says

  “Are we going to finish the snap training?” Kingsman quickly looks at Kenji as he says

  “NO! It's...Ineffective! But all of you are going to start meditating” Itsuki says

  “I've still been meditating Sensei!" Kingsman says

  “And we need everyone to catch up with you, plus it will help everyone get a lot stronger” Riku says

  “But I do meditate!” Kingsman says

  “There’s a difference when you meditate to calm your mind, and making a link with your element. When you meditate it's to calm and clear your mind, but this meditation will open your mind and allow your link with the element to get stronger!” Dai is*confused* as he says

  “How is meditation supposed to make us stronger?” Kingsman says

  “Helps you bond with your power more, giving you better control over it and even allowing you to control some attacks coming at you. If you have a strong enough will!” Riku says

  “All right Sensei, I’ll do it” Dai says

  “I guess” Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  “It wasn't a question, but I appreciate your acceptance" Kingsman stands up as he walks outside and Riku,Dai,Itsuki, and Kenji all follow him as Kingsman sits on the grass and everyone sits around him as they close their eyes and starts meditating but Dai is struggling as he flexes every muscle in his body and Kingsman says

  “While your meditating you need to speak with your element, feel your element, understand and know your element. You truly must become one with your power, it’s not just something inside of you. It’s something that’s apart of you…it is you and you are it! But to obtain this you must calm your mind and body!” Dai *calmly breathes out* as he relaxes and calms down as Itsuki's wrapped in lightning symbols all around him as he starts floating on a cloud and Riku starts floating on top of a gentle tornado as Dai starts floating on a ball of fire and Kingsman notices Kenji doesn’t start floating as Kingsman thinks

  “As I thought, only the three of them are–” Kingsman is *shocked* as Kenji starts slowly starts floating up on a ball of water and Kingsman says

  “All of you…Are the heirs of the gods, but it should be impossible! The Boy-” Suddenly Kingsman stands up and flips back as lightning suddenly strikes exactly where he was sitting and the strike shakes the entire hill as Kingsman thinks

  “Wow…Itsuki I can feel how your power explodes every time you meditate, but this is the strongest you’ve gotten yet!” Suddenly fire surges underneath Dai as it engulfs him and stretches high into the air as a tornado forms around Riku and Kenji’s body starts freezing and forms a giant ice dragon around him as balls of lightning forms around Itsuki and Kingsman stares at them *amazed* as he says

  “All of you put your hands out, and feel the power you’ve created!” All of them slowly puts there hands out as the balls of lightning combine together and float into Itsuki's hand as he absorbs it and Riku absorbs the tornado as it slowly stops spinning and Dai put his hands out as he starts to absorb the fire around him, and Kenji puts his hand out as he absorbs the dragon around him and as they all absorb there element around them they all slowly land back on the ground and Kingsman says

  “How do you all feel?” Dai stands up as he looks at his hand and activates his fire gauntlets as he sees his fire is brighter and he turns around as he walks up to a tree and punches the tree but his gauntlet launches a fireball that destroys hundreds of trees and Dai is *shocked* as he looks at Kingsman and says

  “I-I just wanted to destroy a tree! What is this feeling!?” Kingsman is *shocked* as he says

  “Look at what you did to my forest! Do you know how long it took to planet all of those trees!?" Dai says

  "Planet some more!" Kingsman says

  "This is what happens when the power inside of you is pulled out, you get destructive you little devil!” Dai *laughs* as he says

  "That's my grandfather!" Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  "The devils grandson? I like it!" Riku says

  “If we can get stronger from just meditating, why not have us just do that?” Kingsman says

  “You have immeasurable amounts of elemental power built up inside of you, but if you pull more out than your body can handle...You die! Plus you all still need to know how to fight, and where's the fun in that!” Dai looks at Riku as he says

  “That would be a waste, I want to fight for the power that I gain! I want my strength to come from the battle I win, not how much I can sit on my ass!” Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  “Good, but when your body can handle more power you'll know!” Kingsman looks at the burned down forest as he walks over and touches the ground as Kingsman whispers something and suddenly all of the destruction is undone as everyone is *shocked* and Kingsman says

  “Dai, you’ve gotten significantly stronger. Would you like to fight Gyomei again?” Dai *smiles* as he surges with fire and says

  “Perfect, that’s exactly who I want to fight first! After I beat him, you're next!” Kingsman says

  "Why not Kaito? I think you should go up a tier list of power, if you're going to fight A General then you have to fight The King and then you fight The God!" Dai *laughs* as he says

  "Hmm, that makes sense. I'll beat Gyome, then Kaito, then you!" Itsuki steps up to Dai as he says

  "You think you're strong enough to just approach Sensei without going through me!" Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  "He is right, A God does have his most loyal and trustworthy warriors to battle for him. No weak warrior could hope to waste my divine time!" Dai looks at Kingsman as he *smiles* and says

  "You think Itsuki is going to stop me from getting to you!?" Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  "Let's ask him!" They both look at Itsuki as Itsuki sword appears in his hand and Kingsman notices Itsuki lightning is even brighter as Dai activates his fire gauntlets and rushes Itsuki but suddenly Dai falls to the ground as he looks at his legs * in confusion* and he tries to move them but he cannot move his legs at all and Dai says

  "What the hell!?" Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  "So you've learned a new move...Boy?" Kenji *chuckles* as he says

  "Little bit, I froze the inside of all the bones in his legs and I've been letting it lay dormant for the day he tried to attack one of us seriously but now's a good time to use it!" Kingsman says

  "I'm impressed, you put ice inside of his bone and have been waiting to use them. Maybe you're more like me than I truly knew, what's this move called?" Kenji says

  "I call it "Agile Ice" because it can shoot through the inside of all of your bones and freeze them, depending on how far I go I can crush every bone in his body in a split second!" Kingsman is *shocked* and says

  "You've got a lot of tricks, I knew it!" Kenji says

  "What?" Kingsman says

  "Every time you walk around you allow your ice to flow off of your body and get caught in the air, and you could have stopped almost every fight you've been in had you decided to crush there skeletons! Hell you could have just crushed their skulls and killed them instantly or just frozen their brains!" Kenji says

  "I want to win fights, but I don't want to kill people unnecessarily. If a fight can be resolved better I don't want to destroy someone's body, because I understand that everyone is fighting for something! Even the most heinous that walk among us are fighting for something greater, most people just don't know a better way than the one they have always known! And other times they simply aren't strong enough to walk another path alone" Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  "Nevermind, you're your mother's son. A true heir of my blood line would see that only one dream matters. There own!" Riku says

  "How is that if you saved all of us? I've known you long enough to understand your dream wouldn't be to take three random children off of the streets!" Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

  "That's a good question!" Kingsman punches Riku in the face as he falls to the ground and Kingsman looks down at him as he says

  "Anymore questions?" Dai is *angry* as he says

  "No, statement! LET ME UP!" Kenji *laughs* as he says

  "Sorry Dai!" Dai slowly stands up and tries to punch Kenji but suddenly his fist turns around and he punches himself in the stomach as Dai falls to the floor and Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  "After all of that tough talk, the only person you can hurt is yourself!" Kingsman walks over as he helps Riku off of the ground and *smiles* as he says

  "Good job!" Riku *smiles* as he says

  "Thank you!" Dai stands up as his gauntlets erupt into extremely bright flames and Kingsman steps up to him as he says

  “Let’s go!” Dai looks at Kingsman as he absorbs his flames and Kingsman walks towards the hill as everyone follows and they walk into the village and turn in the direction of Kaito's office but suddenly a large crowd of people rushes past them and towards the gate and Kingsman turns around and is *confused* as he says

  “What the hell is going on!?”
