Right after the end of Chapter 3...

"Hey Eran, tell us more about your past." Dizaine stated. "I am curious."

Eran's eyes widened, "My past is v-very boring..."

"I insist." Dizaine stated lowly.

Eran groaned loudly, "Okay, if you are sure."

Dizaine stuck the sword in the ground and put on his coat; taking a seat to listen to the story.

Smoker silently leaned on his bike, exhaling a puff of smoke in anticipation.

"Before I lay down this hot, hot exposition on you, I have to give you a disclaimer, this is not pretty." Eran stated.

Dizaine nodded, "Okay."

Smoker exhaled once more, sighing, "Get on with it."

"I was a slave to the World Government, I recently excaped from the 'Holy Land'. I was mistreated and over-worked twenty-four hours a day and what not." Eran stated.

One of Smoker's cigars fell to the ground.

Diziane smirked, "You are lying because the Author spelled 'escape' wrongly! Let's just end this short chapter already."

Eran sighed, "Okay... you got me."

"So my father was favored with a World Noble, having a bunch of the perks and what not. I was practically spoiled, but quickly grew bored of that lifestyle." Eran started, noticing the normal reactions of the Marines that outranked him. "I wanted a change, so I was shipped off to this island and thrown to fend for myself. I heard of this great, justice-filled organization called 'The Marines' and thought that I might get a new family there."

Eran paused for a few seconds. "My father sent those guys after me." Eran momentarily pointed to the unconscious criminals. "They had high bounties so he assumed that they could take you on."

"Look, I am sorry for the trouble that I have inadvertently caused to you all, but that is the abridged version of the events." Eran stated sadly.

Dizaine got up and walked to Smoker, whispering something in his ear.

The Marine nodded and got on his bike; starting it and leaving without another word.

"Am I in trouble?" Eran asked with worry oozing from his voice..

"No." Dizaine stated. "You have been training for the past month, but now, you are going to experience true hell."

"Wha-what?"

"You are going to become my successor; you are my student and a Marine, but now, you are going to be something more. You are going to be my legacy. I may die at any time and I want to leave something positive behind for me to look back on in the Afterlife." Diziane stated as his mind drifted back to some bad memories.

This change of demeanor was brought on by a vision that Dizaine received when he was approaching the battlefield; making him late.

The ship was burning; in any second it might go through.

Weakly, Dizaine walked to the Captain's Quarters, blood dripping out of then numerous holes in his body.

"Shit..." Dizaine muttered. "This is what I get for living my life how I did, huh?"

He kicked down the barricaded door with ease, dodging a bullet that was fired at him, "Hey, it is only me."

Eran quickly dropped the gun and started to cry, "Captain, are you okay!?"

He stared at the numerous stab wounds in the Marine's body with shock.

"Eran, you have to listen to me." He paused to cough up some blood.

Dizaine pulled out his Odachi's scabbard and pulled out the blade, engraving his initials 'VRD' on it.

He then knelt down to eye-level to his student, "Stretch out your hands."

Eran did was he was told, receiving the blade. "You are giving me your blade?" Eran asked.

"Yeah..." Dizaine coughed due to the smoke. "I have a spare boat in here... luckily it's safe right now."

"You can come too, come on!" Eran's sense of reason was gone due to greif.

"No Eran, I die here." Dizaine said as he took his last breath. "Go and uphold my legacy while... forging your own. Do that... to remember me."

Dizaine shuttered at the thought of dying like that while being proud of his student's growth.

"Just do me well and keep on living." Dizaine stated.

"Yes sir!"

This is just a short mini-chapter; enjoy.

I think I should do a semi-canon spin off about Eran and Dizaine's Adventures.

How does, 'Untold Legacy - Adventures sound to you?'

I'll post a poll on my profile. If it works out, there will be a 'Tea Party'.

Please R&R,
