Torin is dead.
Diago's dad, he killed him.
He killed Torin.
Torin is dead because of him.
Daigos dad.
What a man, he killed him.
He holds the sword in his hand that killed his own follower who gave everything to him.
He killed him because the earth asked him to.
We don't believe that he is dead.
But he is...
His body hardened and turned grey, hardening into stone and crumbled under King's touch.
His body disintegrated and flew in the wind after turning to dust.
And all we could do was stare as it flutter in the wind and spread on the earth that witnessed this unkind deed.
But after a fight of us and king's dad, we were defeated and they left us, with failure stuffed in our faces and their laugh ringing in our ears.
Nobody moved, nobody said a word, this had left them speechless and unsociable for a while.
"Its probably part of their plan" Nobuharu finally spoke.
"To get our emotions to strengthen themselves" Utchy spread some of his wisdom.
"But it wont work right" King said getting up, "we need revenge for him and to protect the world that he had sacrificed and fought for".
"Don't act so innocent, King" Ian said.
This shocked everyone, "what do you mean?" King asked him now very confused.
" 'Don't act so innocent' I said and why" he walked up to King, "its because we don't know something".
"And what is that Ian?".
"That if you were in on it too".
Everyone looked at king worried.
"Thats stupid Ian" Amy ran to them and pulled Ian away from King.
"Why don't you trust him anymore?" she asked, but Ian kept staring at King.
Both of them were unresponsive.
"Well we don't know if he was or not" Souji finally spoke.
He had been leaning on the cliff face and staring at his sword all this time, stroking it making sure it was still pure and clean.
"Souji, he's innocent I tell you, no doubt about it" Amy ran to him trying to prove his honesty.
"but King hasn't said a thing to make it seem so" Nossan answered.
"But he hasn't said anything to make you doubt him either, Ian is just being paranoid, right Ian?".
They again looked at king who was now staring at the floor.
"Im innocent" King pleaded as he shook his head not believing that his comrades that he fought for all this time were doubting him.
"Well it took you long enough to answer that simple plea if information and for some reason i don't believe you at all" ian walked back up to king and held King's chin up.
"Why don't you believe me, Ian".
"Because you let him die" Utchy finally let his anger explode.
"You did too" King pointed at them all after getting free from Ian's grasp.
"King-dono, don't blame us" Utchy fought back running to him and punching his face, causing him to but pushed back and keel over.
"KING" Amy shouted, worried for him and ran to Utchy who she slapped before running to kings side lifting him up slightly.
Everyone was now outraged, King had blamed them and Amy had slapped Utchy.
"ITS KINGS FAULT AMY DONO" utchy cried out, falling to his knees, "and now I have been slapped for noticing the truth".
"Amy, i know you" Ian walked up to her as she stood up in front of king. She protected him from any more danger that he would be placed in.
"Amy listen to us, its king's fault that Torin's like that" he pointed to king, "its his fault we are all angry, revengeful and the reason your crying".
He went to wipe her tear that was falling slowly down her face but she slapped his hand away.
"i'm am crying because of him, but only because your giving him the grief that i cry about, because the very simple reason of them being related" she said right up close to his face, "they are related but its not his fault for Torin's death".
"Well i cant see any other reason why hes dead" Nobuharu said.
"i didn't know that king's dad was even related to this at all and who could have given him the plans for fights or appointments we had".
"KING" they all said in unison, their reasoning seeming to be correct to them.
They looked down at the figure who was clenching his hands into fists.
"Oh look, more acting" Ian laughed as he kicked Diago and he toppled over, "IAN" now Amy was mortified and angry herself.
"Why do you stick up for this guy" Ian asked.
"A son of a murder is nothing to us anymore" Utchy looked away, "and not even worthy of his name", Souji nodded to Utchy's statement
"What about my promise" king whispered under his breath.
"What was that, i think he is either trying to confess or lie again, don't be deceived boys" he laughed as he kneeled down to the floor next to him to hear better.
Silence came again but not for long. King shot up, on his feet making Ian fall backwards in surprise. "what about my promise, why have i been fighting with you all, why Ian".
This sudden rush of anger made them all stunned and also astonished as he fought back against their mean words.
"what have i done to make you doubt or even hate me?" he asked more calm because Amy had placed her hands on his shoulders to calm him down, she was all that kept them together and he didn't want Amy to look differently at him.
Her kind eyes a softener for his soul, keeping him reasonable.
They didn't answer.
"thought you had a reason" he laughed.
"Don't laugh at us" Utchy said not infuriated at kings tone of voice.
"Wanna say a reason then all high a mighty wise guy", King was now slightly losing it.
"We don't need a specific reason to hate you".
"Yes, yes you do, or would you like to get one" King challenged.
"How then, did you actually betray us then, just spare us the lies".
King had enough and brought out a battery and his gun, he had enough of them.
"KING" Amy ran in between the sides who answered Kings challenge with their guns to appear and their batteries coming from pockets and holders.
"KING" Amy continued to shout at the children fighting over a sweet they all wanted.
King threw a battery to Gabutyra who answered his call for help and shrank to his aid.
"Kyoryu cha..".
"KING, EVERYONE, STOP".
Everyone was about to transform but were stopped with Amy's desperate yell.
She ran to King and this time slapped him, this hurt Diago mentally more then physically.
She had hit him, his only hope for his sanity had betrayed him and slapped him hard.
"Amy?" he asked why as he looked into her eyes, they were pained and tearful, very much like his own.
"Wow, did that hurt Diago-chan?" they poked fun at him as Amy turned around to them. They silence straight away suddenly scared of her.
She turned back around to get pulled into a hug from Diago, "I'm sorry Amy" and with that he ran away down into the sand dunes with Minityra following close behind him, he disappeared as everyone else spat in his direction, making chicken noises as he retreated away.
"Look at him run away, why have we been calling him King?" Souji laughed at his patheticness.
"More like a chicken or the enemy with a soft heart, King of the idiots" Ian sat down on a nearby rock and continued to stare at the direction of his exit.
"We must have hit his soft heart pretty bad for him to retreat or maybe it was us being too harsh?" Utchy asked but they all agreed that they weren't, just getting rid of UN-needed baggage.
"But Gabutyra followed him, he is still innocent, the great lizards would not follow a betrayed, they still believe him" she was holding her hand that had slapped king, she was still in shock with her actions, and now he was running from her.
"You theories are wrong Ian, they wouldn't except a traitor" Amy continued, determined to win Daigo's belief in her again.
"Well he did betray us, him running away concludes our suspicions, nothing more" Uthcy said as he sat down crossing his legs, " he didn't disagree so he is still remaining guilty until proved wrong".
"But he did say he was innocent, this is just because his father is the one that killed him, isn't it, not him personally, so lets apologies and get him back".
"Amy, on this so called journey of the great lizards, I've lost 1 best friend who was killed by our enemy before i was even involved, lost my new comrade and I might lose even more of you in the up coming fight".
"Then we have to stay together to make us stronger. But also remember Ian, because of King, you got revenge, you became a happier person and you meet us"
"But, You still can't expect me to forgive the man or anything that is connected to him, who started it off by being chosen by earth".
"Ian, it wasn't their choice and king has done nothing but good for us and you push him away because of a blame you set on him in stone when there is no stone to set it on or reason to place it on him" Amy was now horrified with her comrades hardheadedness.
"King?" Nobuharu asked, shaking his head.
"Not King anymore , Amy-san" Souji continued.
"Diago" Utchy finalized their thoughts, but Ian had to add to it, "Not even Diago to me anymore, just a random guy on the streets".
"DIAGO?" she questioned them, "OK now that's being unreasonable".
"Ok, my turn" She ran to Ian, "who was the one that said to get revenge for you friend?".
"I was going to get it anyway sooner or later".
"who was the one who opened your eyes Ian?".
She ran to Souji, "who helped you with your father problem, got you to realize your feelings and help you open up to people honestly, also with the rest of us?".
"Didn't need his help" he shrugged his shoulders and looked at the sword.
"Not from where we were watching"
She then arrived at Nobuharu, "you didn't believe in your strength until he came along to prove your family is your strength not your weakness".
And finally Utchy, "He is the person who excepted you in the most, he fought and sacrificed his whole being, helped to save the world and many people and that is still not enough for your expectations to even get given the name 'king', he has done everything a 'king' would do".
"He doesn't deserve such a name if he is a Deboss activist's son" he said not even looking Amy, "his reign has ended and to me that's all it is to me, like the death of my previous lord, we carry on with a heavy heart".
"Utchy, He was the one that brought us together as a true team, he was the one who truly fused us as a team and flamed out passion with his bravery" she was now furious and frustrated, "You weren't here yet so you wouldn't know". This shocked them all, Amy was angry with them and all they did was sit.
"I'm going and until you come to the true minds of the team I know and fight with, I won't be seeing you again. You are not who I know you could be, think about it" Amy had almost given up and started to track for Diago, but before she disappeared she turned around and looked at the team who were now silence and staring at her still.
"Did you actually mean what you said to him" she called back to them, "are you faking it? Or is this the true feelings of my once brave and strong comrades? I don't believe it".
She continued on the track of kicked in footsteps of the run away king leaving the rest speechless and quiet.
"What have we done?" Souji asked aloud once Amy had gone, "I'm sure it was a very bad thing" Utchy said grabbing his hands on his head rubbing his eyes as tears started to rain on his cheeks and sand below.
"But why did we do it, because we were annoyed, frightened, maybe paranoid as Amy said?" Nossan asked, "Ian?"
They all looked at Ian for an answer
He stood up and just stared at the 2 tracks, one larger then the other, going into the sunset, "I don't know?"
