Author's Note:

Okay... It's finally chapter 10! Plot twists! Plot!

"There's gonna be ti-"

No Ketsuo! No jeez, get the hell out! Anyways, nothing else to say so, to le story!

Also, you should read the prologue, I put appearances of the OCs there, it'll help make sense blah, blah, blah. This is a regular message.


~Prologue~

There are seven major clans which hold their own territory. They were all at peace.

There was the Byakudan Clan, led by Yuuya Kizami. A bold and rash leader who makes the right decisions with the guidance of his closest generals.
Kurosaki Kensuke, Mitsuki Yamamoto, Tohko Kirisaki, and Kai Shimada.

The Musashigawa Clan, led by Nana Ogasawara, Nari Amatoya, and Chihaya Yamase in a republic-sort of government. (Like how it was in Ancient Rome.)
Their heirs are Hachi Ogasawara and Xen Namikage.

The Paulownia Clan, led by Misuto Kiriya. His advisors are Kuon Niwa, Aiko Niwa, and Magali Mizuki. They work with the dark arts and dark magic, secretly trying to awaken the viruses to begin the Revelation.

The Tenjin Empire led by Emperor Kishinuma Yoshiki and Empress Shinozaki Ayumi. It was the most powerful of the clans until the Kyoto XE Massacre, which was their financial capital, which left them a bit vulnerable.

The Kisaragi Clan, led by Zenka Namikage with his closest generals: Denka Amatoya, Yui Shishido, Tsukasa Mikuni, Ketsuo Nekumari, Masaru Kadarai, Okuni Shinchito, Shuu Shinohara, Nima Shinohara, and Kuro Amatoya.

The Saint Cruz Clan, led by Azusa Takai, Ran Kobayashi, and Senjin Sarutobi. They are helped by advisors; Senjun Sarutobi, Natsura Sarutobi, Tenjin Hashirama, and Fuyu Hirata.

The Musume Clan, led by Naomi Nakashima. She is assisted by her generals; Satoshi Mochida, Yuka Mochida, Mayu Suzumoto, Sakutaro Morishige, Satsuki Mizuhara, and Yuu Shinohara.

However, in 2065 a terrorist faction the Blood Flares (Which was established in 2033 to bring down the Crimson Dragons and any of their allies.) destroyed Kyoto XE, historically called the Kyoto XE Massacre since it left few survivors. Due to losing the love of her life, Nakashima formed the Musume Clan and broke the International Peace Federation's rule where she destroyed the Blood Flares' main base. And due to losing Seiko, Nakashima became enraged and corrupt, and attacked the other clans.

~Chapter 10: In The End~

~Preview Description~

An old friend comes back, more changed than ever, and he turns the whole war around.
The fight will be taken to the true evil that should never have been revived after Ember's death.
Cursed will realize his back will be up against the wall, and his neutral allies will become his biggest enemy.


Naomi got on the phone, recently being told Silver's codec number from Kai.

"Who are you?" Silver asked.

"That is unimportant. I have an offer." Naomi replied.

"Look, I'm not a mercenary-"

"Hear me out. I've learned of your past. Be a medic for my soldiers, and I can bring Devin back. Remember her?" Naomi asked.

"She is dead. As much as I want her alive, she does not deserve to have to go through even more pain. I am not bringing her back because of my own selfishness." Silver replied.

"What do you want then? Make me a counter-offer." Naomi said.

"I want nothing!" Silver replied.

"You do want your family safe, right?" Naomi asked and Silver froze.

"The hell does that mean?!" Silver asked.

"I could kill your family. I have an informant that knows it all." Naomi responded.

"Fuck your informant! You come near my family, I'll tear you to fuckin' pieces!" He yelled and hung up.

"We'll have to do this the hard way then." Naomi said. "Kai. Bring out the Deathspawns."

Kai brought them out and looked at them with sorrow in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Naomi asked.

"These are my former comrades who died... This is going too far..." Kai said.

"I need people who won't fuck up. They are alive now, and under my service." Naomi said.

"They are not alive! They are undead! Why can't they stay dead? In peace?" Kai asked.

"Because I can't be in peace until the resistance and the Blood Flares are all dead." Naomi said.
"John, Raven, Reine. They have defeated them before. They are legends."

"They deserve to finally be in peace!" Kai said. "And the thing that is holding you from peace is Seiko!"

"..." Naomi paused. "They'll be in peace after they have won. Work on the last one. And if we can't convince him, we'll break him."

Kai sighed and walked back to her lab. She then looked at the girl who had been manipulated to become alive again. They had other modifications to undergo before they were complete however.


"... Mom?" Nima mumbled.

"Yari Sanada, our new recruit who won my tournament, found her with a bunch of prisoners." Zenka said.

"So she's alive?!" Nima asked.

"Yeah-"

"WE NEED TO GO IMMEDIATELY!" Nima interrupted, and Kuro grabbed her arm before she could run out.

"We don't know her location. But if we get her, we can win over a lot of the Musume Clan generals." Zenka said, without the knowledge that Naomi was the leader of the said clan.

"Look, can I go back to sick bay? I got shot in the ass by a blender that killed itself." Shuu said.

"... The fuck...?" Zenka mumbled.

"It was weird, a microwave chased him with a chainsaw, he got lit on fire, the oven froze his hand... Yeah, I don't even fuckin' know either. But if I ever want to kill him, there we go. Bada-bing, bada-boom." Xen said.

"I'm not going to lie, it's weird seeing you in a kilt." Zenka said.

"Take it up with the newlywed groom, he made me wear this." Xen said.

"I'm not married, you idiot." Kuro said.

"AHEM. WE'RE not married, you idiot." Nima replied.

"I'm sorry-"

"Yep. You're married." Xen said.

"Oooh! I wanna be the flower girl!" Reiko said, actually believing him, and the couple stared at him.

"There is no wedding." Kuro said.

"YET." Nima said.

"Ooh, Kuro, say goodbye to your freedom, and hello to a sex life." Xen said.

"You do know my father is standing right there." Kuro said. "I don't think he'd appreciate it."

"Well, we're still not sure if guys are on your preferences or not." Zenka said.

"Really dad, this is what you do?!" Kuro said.

"Well, I'm gonna be honest. You're 17. I lost my virginity at your age, and so did everyone else." Zenka said.

"Heh, now I remember how old you are." Xen said.

"I can still kick your ass ten million times over." Zenka said.

"I'd pay for a front row seat." Kuro said.

"Really bro?" Xen said.

"I'd pay to see you get your ass kicked by a fuckin' klondike bar." Kuro said.

"I have something more humiliating." Shuu said.

"What?" Xen asked.

"Me paying to see you get your ass kicked by Satoshi." Shuu replied.

"OH DAMN!" Kuro said.

A holographic screen popped up and Zenka accepted the codec call.

"Yes Sophiya?" Zenka said. "No, I believe Yari isn't busy at the moment. You found Lynn? Great. That'll help. Okay, see you later."

He swiped the screen to his left which ended the call.

"I have no missions for you guys as of yet." Zenka said. "In the meantime, I have somewhere to attend to." He walked away from the group as quickly as he gathered them.

"So... Wanna go to the bar?" Nima asked, and they all agreed.


"One of my new recruits, Sophiya, has located Lynn." Zenka said.

"You mean... Graves' sister?" Yari asked.

"Yes. Apparently she is being held hostage. I'll send you the coordinates since I don't have further details." Zenka replied.

"Okay." Yari replied.

"Looks like you're going to America." Zenka said.


Yari jumped out of the jet, and right before he hit the ground he clicked a button that activated thrusters on his shoes.
He couldn't fly with the thrusters, it was simply to stop you from taking fall damage.

"Well, let's go then." Yari said.

He walked to the asylum where Lynn was said to be. He walked inside, and immediately got a bad reading from it.

"Alright...?" He mumbled and heard a gunshot.

Yari turned around and saw a corpse-like figure. It had pale skin, orange eyes, and flashing scars on his face.

"The fuck...? Who are you?" Yari asked and took out his sword.

"I am John Gray." He replied with a emanating, weirdly pitched voice. "I serve Stelen and the Musume!"

"That... Can't be... You're dead!" Yari said.

"Was. I serve a greater purpose than you make it out to be!" John said and flipped his revolvers.

"Alrighty then, show boy. Let's see what you've got." Yari replied and blocked two bullets with his sword.

He charged at John, slashing his sword onto his enemy's shoulder, but the Deathspawn grabbed the blade and pushed Yari back.
He then fired four shots, all of them being dodged, then Yari kicked him in the gut, knocking him down.
Yari then stabbed him in the heart, effectively ending the Deathspawns life after death.

"This isn't who you are. Now be free." Yari said and walked further into the asylum.

He only grew even more uneasy as he progressed, then came across another Deathspawn.

"You've killed my husband!" The Deathspawn said.

"Raven?! You're also dead!" Yari said, being even more shocked.

"You bring suffering among my children no more." Raven said and took out a staff. "General Stelen has opened my eyes. This world must be purged with fire!"

"W-What?!" Yari said and blocked a magic bolt of lightning. "I will free your soul Raven."

"I already am! It's ruthless people like Namikage who bring death among innocents!" Raven said, and dodged a strike from Yari.

"It is the Musume who started this war." Yari said.

"They are bringing an end to terror once and for all. You think you fight for a noble cause. You are disillusioned." Raven said, and Yari stabbed her in the lung.

"I'm sorry Raven, but you must be freed from this hell." Yari said and started cutting her right side towards her left.

"No... My children deserve better." Raven said.

"They wouldn't want you like this Raven." Yari said.

"I won't give in... You're a monster..." Raven said, and Yari sliced her head open.

"I'm a monster that fights to end all wars. Perhaps you never did your research." Yari said, and opened the door.

He saw a ten year old boy sitting with Lynn, carving a Japanese symbol for friendship into her arm with a knife.

"I'm sure he'll understand..." The boy said, in the same weird pitch and echoing, but there were no echoes coming from Yari, or anyone alive in there. "You plan to flee?"

"Yes Takeda... I don't want my brother reluctantly hurting anyone." Lynn said.

"You are here for a reason. And as much as I agree with your cause, I can not let you leave." Takeda said.

"Takeda..." Yari whispered, and the Deathspawn turned to him.

"You... You're a survivor of..." Takeda started.

"Kyoto XE." Yari finished. "I need to get her to Zenka Namikage so that Graves will fight against us no longer."

"I can't let you do that." Takeda said and got up.

"I understand you've been ordered to guard her, but please let me get her to safety." Yari said.

Takeda looked back at Lynn.

"I'm sorry Takeda, but this is for the best." Lynn said.

"... I understand Lynn. I will most likely be killed for disobeying orders, but I'll let you go with him anyways." Takeda said to her and hugged her.

"Thank you for being a friend, Takeda." Lynn said.

Takeda merely smiled and kissed her cheek.

"I'll hate to see you go, but it's okay. As long as you're safe." Takeda said and Lynn smiled at him.

"If you need some time, I'll give you it." Yari said and walked outside of the door, then closed it.

"I'll be able to see you again, correct?" Lynn asked.

"Probably when we're both dead." Takeda replied.

"Good..." Lynn said.

"I... I haven't hurt you, have I?" Takeda asked, and Lynn looked at the bloody carving on her arm, then smiled despite it bleeding profusely.

"Not at all Takeda." Lynn replied.

"Good." Takeda said, then went up to her and kissed her. "I wish you the best."

Lynn blushed and smiled at him: half nervously, half lovingly.

"You too Takeda." Lynn replied and walked out to Yari.

"So, you're Lynn of the Iris Village." Yari said.

"That's correct." Lynn responded, and fixed her hair.

"I heard there are no adults there." Yari said.

"Yup. Abel, my boyfriend, makes people kill their parents as initiation into the village... I really hate it." Lynn replied.

"Damn... That's brutal." Yari said, walking to the entrance, and seeing that the Deathspawns had disappeared.
"Weird..." He mumbled.

The two kept walking in silence until Lynn put her head down, and Yari noticed.

"You alright?" He asked.

"Yeah!" Lynn replied, perking her head up. "I was just thinking about my friend Fir."

"What about Fir?" Yari asked.

"Four years ago, she was a mercenary in the American military who defended themselves against the Blood Flares. Well, she happened to meet another mercenary who was just there since war eased him: he was pretty melancholic. They talked, got to know each other, and fell in love. Then when the many long months of attack ended she left Iris Village and married him." Lynn explained.

"Why'd she leave?" Yari asked.

"Well... Most of my friends there ignored her and didn't even care when she 'died'." Lynn replied.

"She 'died'?" Yari said.

"I saw her die... But my brother's girlfriend, Evelien nursed Fir back to health." Lynn said. "And Abel- who was her mentor in sword training- completely ignored her feelings for him."

"Jeez..." Yari mumbled.

"I was the only one who really cared there- excluding Graves and Evelien, since didn't stay in the village." Lynn said.

"Well... I guess it was for the best then." Yari said.

"Yeah, but I miss her. I visit her every so often." Lynn agreed.

"That's good." Yari said, and got a reading of an attack.

He quickly stretched out his arm in front of Lynn's face and caught a bullet.

"Fuck." Yari said, and put Lynn on his back. "Hold tight kid!"

He saw his attacker, which was the first Deathspawn he killed.

"Come on! I wasted you!" Yari said and brandished his greatsword.

"You've learned nothing!" Raven said with the echoey, distorted voice all of the Deathspawns had.

"For fuck's sake! How are you perfectly fine after I split your damn head open?!" He said and charged at them with his sword.

"You are arrogant!" Raven said and fired a magic bolt at him, which he dodged, then chopped her in half.

"For legendary heroes, you have no strength in this demonic afterlife!" Yari said and blocked one of John's shot, but was shot in the leg afterwards.
"Okay, we'll do this the hard way."

Yari leaped up and brought his sword down to slice the Deathspawn in half.

"Sorry Johnny, but I need to put you in peace." Yari said, and to his shock, John's body reattached itself. "The fuck...?"

"We Deathspawns only die when we consent to death. And by the way... NOBODY CALLS ME JOHNNY!" John yelled the last sentence then charged at Yari, and punched him in the face, then kicked him in the ribs.

"That's gonna leave a mark..." Yari muttered and kicked John in the groin, then decapitated him. "Pop, pop! Killin' Deathspawns!"

He ran all the way into a forest, then saw another figure.

"Fuck my life..." Yari muttered.

"... Do you know what it's like to kill the love of your life...?" The Deathspawn asked.

"Reine... But you didn't kill Blade!" Yari said.

"I may have loved him, but there was someone who I loved more." Reine said, the light blue and orange glow warring in her eyes.
"They said if I kill you, I can have her back."

"I'm pretty sure you just said 'kick my ass'." Yari said, and dodged a magic bolt, then sliced her right arm off.

"I won't die, not when she's so close!" Reine said.

"Would she want you to be like this?" Yari asked.

"You know nothing!" Reine yelled.

"I know I'ma break your jaw." Yari retorted, then punched the Deathspawn in the jaw, ripping the whole thing off and leaving behind vivid, green blood.
"Okay, finish her!"

Yari grabbed her head and ripped it off, along with her spine.

"So this is what you look like without make-up? Wow." Yari said and saw a blue magnetic bolt with silver lightning fly past him.
"Oh, you're back! I was wondering when I could knock ya again!"

"Like my creations Sanada?" The Cloak asked.

"Honestly, I'm hoping these are prototypes." Yari said.

"They are not at their full power, and neither am I..." The Cloak replied.

"That's what I said to your mom." Yari said, and dodged a magnetic bolt. "The matter, I struck a nerve?"

"Not at all, I only feel more confident." The Cloak said.

"Yet you're too much of a bitch to show your face." Yari taunted and jumped kicked him in the face, knocking the virus down. Yari sprung back up and kicked The Cloak in the gut. "Damn shame you didn't bring your brown pants."

The Cloak punched Yari in the jaw, then went to punch his gut, but Yari countered.

"You ain't tough, meatbag!" Yari said.

"You're all talk." The Cloak replied.

"We'll see after I bust your face in." Yari said.

Yari kicked him in the gut, then the face and then jumped and roundhouse kicked the virus.

"Sheesh, I'll really leave you flat on your ass." Yari said, then punched him in the skull.

"You are nothing!" The Cloak said.

"Your fly is open." Yari said, then kicked him in the groin. "Oh please kick me in my loins mister big-shot."

Yari neck chopped him, then roundhouse kicked him in the face.

"I was banned from the banlist for a reason bro." Yari said.

The Cloak fired a massive charged shot at Yari, only for him to dodge.

"Sheesh, your magic just goes straight like Robin from Smash. It's pretty sad." Yari said and he broke part of The Cloak's skull by hitting him with the brunt of his sword.

"You will die!" The Cloak said and he pulled Yari to him using the magnetic force, then punched his ribcage, breaking two ribs.

He then punched Yari in the neck, breaking a vertebrae.

"Alright, now this is fun!" Yari said and kicked The Cloak in the face, only breaking his skull even more.
"Noob."

"Speck of dust." The Cloak said.

"Only a noob like you would say 'speck of dust'." Yari retorted. He sliced The Cloak's neck open, with greenish-teal blood flooding out of it.

"Fuck... This ain't over." The Cloak said.

"Ain't over 'til you're dead pancakes." Yari said, and The Cloak opened a portal and walked through it. Two large, demon-like creatures flew out of it and disappeared in the sky right before the portal closed. "Well, this could be a problem."


The five walked out of the base and onto the carrier deck, when five unknown fighters landed on it and the pilots immediately jumped out.

"Who are you?" Xen asked, and they all took out their weapons.

"Mercenaries hired to fuck you up." The guy with black hair said. "The name's Makaro, here for the job. Sevastyan."

"Sorry tough guy, today ain't your day." Kuro said and took out his katana.

"Girls with guns, always hot." The guy with dark brown hair said.

"I'll shove mine up your ass and fire." Nima said.

"... Almost always hot." The guy said.

"Focus Sevastyan!" The girl with black hair said.

Shuu grinned.

"The fuck you lookin' at stuffy?" The girl with black hair asked.

"How many muffins you had." Shuu retorted, making her grimace.

"You disrespect me?! I am Tatiana Volkov and I can make all of Russia come after you!" Tatiana said.

"And all of Candyland." Shuu smiled.

"Tatiana, do not mind that idiot." The guy with light brown hair.

"Boldan-"

"I said don't mind him!" Boldan commanded, despite having equal authority.

"Seems like you have no patience Fabio Flintstone." Xen said.

"I'll shove a rock up your ass then." Boldan said.

"Try it, and I'll skin you and every one of your pansy friends." Xen said.

"So..." Reiko started.

"Don't ask me if I want to do your hair. I'm here to kill you." The girl with brown hair said. "Stasia's the name."

"Really think I'd want to with a bitch like you?" Reiko asked.

"Glad to know we're on the same page." Stasia said.

Kuro went to kick Makaro, and the leader backflipped, then shot a bladed whip at Kuro. Kuro grabbed the whip and pulled it, reeling Makaro over to him, then uppercutted the attacker. Kuro then took out his katana and stabbed him in the chest.

"You'll be done in an instant." Sevastyan said.

"That's what I told your mom." Shuu said and shot him with the gun arm.

Shuu ran up to him and kicked him in the gut as he was getting up.

"You're all bark and no bite." Shuu said.

Sevastyan jumped up.

"Oh really now? You haven't even known me for five minutes." Sevastyan replied and kicked Shuu in the gut, then he punched Shuu in the face. He went to punch Shuu again, but Shuu grabbed his fist, then twisted his arm, and threw him over his own shoulder.

"That's the best you've got?" Shuu asked.


Satoshi walked into the bar and looked over at the bartender.

"You're back." The bartender said.

"Damn right, you got any news for me?" Satoshi asked.

"Pretty big news." The bartender said and Satoshi perked up.

"I'm listening..." Satoshi said.

"Seiko Shinohara is actually alive. That was the girl who you liked's wife, right?" The bartender asked.

Satoshi hung there shocked.

"Son of a bitch... No, this is going to wreck my plans!" Satoshi said.

"You want some Guinness before you go?" The bartender asked.

"I'm not going yet. I need more info..." Satoshi said and handed him 50,000 yen. He took his mug of Guinness and drank it.

"I don't know her whereabouts, however if you want the edge, manipulate your psychic friends. Lure them out to her, then kill them." The bartender said. "Just think about something rather than your malicious intent."

"Then I kill that bitch." Satoshi said.

"Then, make everyone else's deaths seem accidental. Naomi at that point will give up. You'll be the only one for her to turn to." The bartender said.
"Then, you have to kill Nima. Because she would never accept you."

"You think she wasn't on my kill list, Mike?" Satoshi asked. "She's pretty damn high up there... Damn, and to think I was really close in executing the plans."

"One more thing." Mike the bartender said and handed Satoshi a sniper. "A family treasure. An L115A3 AWM, British Sniper Rifle. One of the best snipers out there. We had this equipped by John Gray to make it so deadly, to the point where a well-placed shot in the leg or above will kill your target. Bring it back in one piece, or I'll knock you the fuck out mate."

"Damn right I'll bring it back." Satoshi said, and he walked out of the bar.

"I wish him luck. He'll bloody need it." The Scottish-Irish bartender said. He then turned on a country music station.

"A guy walks into a bar, orders a drink, catches a girl that catches his eye... Make it work for a little while, then one night her taillights fade out into the dark... And a guy walks into a bar..."

"If Mochida does this, he screws himself..." Mike the bartender said. "He should just move on."

He cleaned his "Mike Duffy's Irish Bar" sign, then shut the lights, closed the door, locked it, then he walked away.


Reiko punched Tatiana in the face, knocking her back into her fighter, then the five mercenaries threw flares at the team to distract them, then they all got into their fighters.

"We gotta step it up next time." Makaro said and they all flew off.

It took them a few seconds to regroup their senses.

"Damn, they got away." Kuro said.

"Those guys are nothing. We can take them easy. The thing is, they're cowards..." Xen said.

"I hate cowards..." Shuu said, and triggered a memory in Reiko with the word 'hate', though she ignored it.


Satoshi and the four Morishiges walked out to the forest.

"There!" Mayu said. "Seiko!"

Seiko turned around.

"... Mayu?" Seiko said.

"It's me! And Shige-nii is here! And-" Mayu was cut off by the sounds of gunshots.

"W-What's?!" Seiko said and saw the four fall down.

"For them being psychics, not being able to read me is pretty sad." Satoshi said, holding the sniper rifle.

"Why would you shoot them?!" Seiko asked.

Satoshi pointed the sniper at her.

"Same reason as you." Satoshi said and shot at her, but she dodged the bullet and started running.

He ran after her, trying to shoot her, but hitting a tree every time.

"Don't slow down, I'm right behind you..." Satoshi said, inspiring fear in her.

He lunged at her and tackled her, pointing the gun at her head.

"W-Why are you doing this...?" Seiko asked.

"I'm sending a message. You and your daughter are going to be forgotten. Just like I was. Nobody cared about me, and why? Because I missed a chance since I was weak? I'll make her forget about everyone, and the war will be over." Satoshi said.

"... War?" Seiko mumbled.

"Naomi started a war because of your 'death'." Satoshi said.

"..."

"Now tell me... Why should I spare you?" Satoshi asked.

"Why do you want me dead?" Seiko asked.

"The same reason I did a century ago. Naomi loved ME. You took her, right when I was so close. Do you know the feeling?" Satoshi asked.

"Yeah. My mother vanished when I was fourteen. It's a pain like no other..." Seiko said.

"Welcome to my hell." Satoshi said, and as he was about to pull the trigger, someone grabbed him and hurled him at a tree, smashing his head into it, making him bleed onto the grass as the person helped Seiko up.

"W-Who are you...?" Seiko asked.

"Don't remember me, lovey? It's me, Levi!" Levi said, and her eyes widened.

"Levi?!" Seiko said.

"Damn right, it's been a while! For you.. Well, and me-ish." Levi said.

"Yeah, you changed quite a bit." Seiko said. "What made you dress... Like a guy?"

"Well... Syra recently had our daughter, Olivia, and I didn't want to scare her... So, I dress like a man now." Levi said.

"You're a father?! YOU of all people? That's amazing!" Seiko said.

"Yeah, I've actually always wanted to be a father... I've been scared for my life about it, but when Silver beat the crap out of me when I ran away when Syra was pregnant... I changed my mind about being scared. After all, I have been scared my whole life." Levi said.

"I'm impressed with you." Seiko said.

"I thought you were dead.." Levi said.

"Well... I thought I was too. I saw a bright light, and then there was a girl there who said her name was Cheren and that I was still needed here, and that I'd get that second chance unlike her." Seiko said. "Next thing I knew, these... People- no, monsters of people had me... But a man who said he was in the Kisaragi Clan freed all of us."

"Cheren... That was Kiro's lover... Kadell's mother..." Levi said. "Well, I know I'm not supposed to be involved, but anyone who tries to hurt you has gotta kill me first."

"Involved, in what?" Seiko asked.

"Well, someone in the Musume Clan went batshit insane after the Kyoto XE Massacre, and they're hell bent on destroying the Blood Flares. Unfortunately, this- for whatever bullshit reason- breaks the International Peace Federation's rules of war- despite them not wanting war in the first place- and the other clans are trying to stop the Musume Clan- again, for whatever bullshit reason." Levi explained. "The Crimson Dragons has agreed to stay out of it... But if he's after you... No, this is something personal..."

Satoshi got up.

"YOU!" He yelled.

"What, would you rather see me in a dress?" Levi asked. "Old times bro."

"You are not my bro..." Satoshi said.

"Hey, this isn't the Satoshi Mochida I used to know. This is low, even for you." Levi said.

"What would you know about loving a woman?" Satoshi asked.

"I'm a father, I know a hell of a lot more than you, buddy." Levi said.

Satoshi started noticing the physical differences Levi had- especially a height difference, with him being much taller now- due to the fuzziness disappearing.

"You are a father? Never thought I'd see the day." Satoshi said, pointing a machete at them and wobbling.

"Jesus Christ man, you look like shit... You aren't over her, are you? This is what it's about... Are you really going to destroy friendships AND love just to get a woman you think you love?! There's no chance, you need to move on!" Levi said.

"You wouldn't know SHIT!" Satoshi said.

"I moved on Satoshi, I've realized I can't be a part of Aikov's heart anymore. I chose to leave that behind. You need to leave Naomi behind now." Levi said, concerned.

"I have no friends, don't you get it?" Satoshi asked.

"No, you don't get it. You just can't trust them, because you feel they'd get in the way. I get it. I understand, I always thought my sister, his siblings, and ESPECIALLY you guys would all get in the way. But this isn't the way to do this Satoshi." Levi said and walked towards Satoshi.

"Levi-"

"He won't hurt me. He's just going through his fear in life. I get what he's going through. He's confused, because he used to be on the top of the world, and it's all gone. But if you leave that behind you, the burden will be gone!" Levi said, and his words weighed on Satoshi.

"..."

"Naomi isn't yours. And I'm sure you'll find a woman- or man if that's how you swing- who you'll connect more with. I really didn't see it, and I tried to help you move on. And in a sense, it helped me realize I had to move on too." Levi said and stepped up to Satoshi. "Think about the real reason why you've hated Seiko? Was it because she got there first? If you got to Naomi first, would it be equally justified? You can't hate someone for being in love with the person that you want. You have to move on, THAT'S the only justifiable reasoning."

Satoshi looked at Seiko and dropped the machetes, then threw down the sniper.

"This is who I've become..." Satoshi mumbled.

"You can always move on." Levi said and put his hand on Satoshi's shoulder. "I understand your situation, because Akeami... She was always closer to Aikov than I was, even though I was there first. There's always something in the way that we have to get past. And I was torn, because I was devoted to Syra, I loved her just as much. Loving Naomi, and doing all this wasn't a mistake, but a lesson. An excruciating one, but even then."

Satoshi walked over to Seiko, head still down.

"I'm sorry." Satoshi said.

"It's okay! Look at me!" Seiko said, and Satoshi picked his head up. "What happened, happened. It doesn't change that we're friends."

"Damn it, why do you have to be so forgiving...?" Satoshi asked.

"It's just who I am." Seiko said.

Satoshi turned to Levi, then went onto the codec.

"Satoshi, where are you?!" Naomi said, and Seiko recognized the voice, despite the transformer.

"Elsewhere. But consider this my resignation." Satoshi said.

"What the hell does that mean?!" Naomi asked.

"I'm tired of being used! You've manipulated the loyalty I've had! You knew that I'd do anything for you." Satoshi said.

"You got yourself used." Naomi said.

"You may be right about that, but you're still the user. Well, fuck you, I quit." Satoshi said.
"In fact, the Kisaragi are looking quite fuckin' good right now!"

"Like they'd accept you." Naomi said.

"I'd rather them kill me than you use my loyalty." Satoshi said.
"I don't know why I loved you in the first place."

"I don't know either, but you should've given up." Naomi said.

"By the way, I've made amends with the dead woman." Satoshi said.

"What does that mean?" Naomi asked.

"You started all this for nothing. I just want you to know, she's hearing everything." Satoshi replied.

"Who?!" Naomi asked.

"Why don't you ask her." Satoshi said, and turned the hologram towards Seiko.

Naomi turned pale under the black mask she wore.

"Naomi... I know that's you..." Seiko said.

"I thought..."

"I thought I died too, but I was held prisoner. In fact, a Kisaragi member let me go. And Levi rescued me from one of your allies." Seiko said.

"..."

"Why would you start a war for me?" Seiko asked, and it all made sense to Levi.

"Be... Because you died..." Naomi asked.

"You know I wouldn't want this..." Seiko said.

"... I'm doing a service." Naomi said.

"Just nuke them and get it over with!" Seiko said. "Don't make a whole war!"

"... It is my choice in the matter." Naomi said.

"Please, don't argue with me..." Seiko said.

"I'm doing this because I love you! Many people died that day, and more people will if the Peace Federation doesn't make peace! It's all politics!" Naomi said.

"You make a Holo-Matrix room and ally yourself with them to destroy the Blood Flares then!" Seiko said.

"... Fine." Naomi said.

"Look... I love you. And how's Nima doing?" Seiko asked.

"Nima?" Levi asked.

"Their daughter." Satoshi said.

Levi's jaw dropped.

"Nima...? She... She ran away to the Kisaragi Clan after you were presumed dead." Naomi said, and Seiko suddenly became furious.

"You mean to tell me... That you still fought the Kisaragi Clan with the possibility of killing our daughter?!" Seiko yelled, making everyone flinch.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Seiko suddenly realized what she said, and turned pale. "I didn't mean that-"

"No... You're right. I was too held up in destroying the resistance, that I was ready to kill our daughter..." Naomi said, starting to cry.

"Naomi... I'm sorry for yelling at you..." Seiko said, and Naomi took off the mask and smiled.

"Don't be, it made me realize I'm wrong. Thank you for doing that." Naomi said.

"Look, you make that call now. Make the negotiation." Seiko said. "And I'm going to be there."

Satoshi smiled.

"I want to be there too. I've gotta make things right." Satoshi said.

Seiko and Levi smiled at him.

"You better let me be there, or kick all of your asses." Levi said.

"I never thought I'd hear from you again." Naomi said.

"I heard you guys witnessed my birth." Levi said.

"You were a damn beautiful baby, I'll tell you that." Naomi said.

"Glad to hear that much." Levi said. "I was a bi baby, and that is okay."

"Well, you better tell everyone the news." Seiko said.

"I've got the Dragons." Levi said.

"I'll tell the other clans." Satoshi said.

"Well, time to take the fight to them." Naomi said.


Yari stood at the Kisaragi fortress and heard the rumble of 100,000 feet storming towards him.

"What... The fuck...?" Yari asked.

The two demons landed by him, startling him.

"Fuck..." Yari said.

"Don't be scared of them, they're helping us." A girl's voice said.

"Sophiya, is it?" Yari said.

"You're the Yari Sanada that won the tournament." Sophiya said.

"Yep." Yari said, and he brandished his greatsword.

Sophiya took out her tanto and got ready.

"Well sugar, it'll have to wait." Sophiya said.

"Sugar?" Yari asked.

"I'm from the south in the USA, got a problem with that?" Sophiya asked. "Though I am Russian."

"Oh, I thought you meant romantically..." Yari replied.

"Sorry, no." Sophiya said.

"Hey, I got better things to do at the moment." Yari said and saw what looked like 100,000 Deathspawns.

"Say it!" John said.

"FOR THE MUSUME!" The Deathspawns said.

"Sounds like you've got quite a few fans." Sophiya joked.

"Damn, they must've watched the tournament! I didn't know these guys were suicidal though." Yari joked and the four went to war with the mob.

Yari and Sophiya slashed at the mob, bringing them down, and seeing them dissipate into dark purple smoke.

The two demons shot energy blasts that killed many of them.
Gray was all that was left.

"You think I'll concede?" John asked.

"You don't have to." Yari said, and the avian-like demon picked John up and flew away.

The other demon flew with him.

"Well... That was too easy." Yari said and got a call.

"Yari, I need you in the Holo-Matrix Room. 587-221-869-332. Get there, now." Zenka said, and Yari clicked on the numbers that registered into the Holo-Matrix Conference Room's insignia.


Franz, Zenka, Ketsuo, Kuro, Nima, Xen, Shuu, Reiko, Hachi, Levi, Naomi, Seiko, Satoshi, Yari, Yuu, Satsuki, Yuka, Nana, Nari, Chihaya, Yuuya, Tohko, Azusa, Ran, Senjin, Senjun, Yoshiki, and Ayumi appeared in the Holo-Matrix Conference Room.

"What's the situation?" Franz asked.

Naomi stepped up.

"... I am the leader of the Musume Clan." She said, to everyone else's shock.

"M-Mother?!" Nima said, then Yari, Satoshi, Levi, and Seiko stepped up.

"I freed her." Yari said.

"And I rescued her." Levi said.

"I'm alive... Somehow." Seiko said.

Everybody was shocked, to a very extreme degree.

"You're..."

"What...?"

Nima fell down and broke down crying.

"Y-You're alive...?" Nima said.

"I thought she was dead too. That's why this whole thing started." Naomi said.

"I proposed that she make this meeting." Seiko said.

"Satoshi, Naomi, and I were merely the messengers." Levi said.

"Why else are we here...?" Zenka asked.

"I have an offer. Mainly for you, Franz." Seiko said.

"Oh?" Franz asked.

"You are the leader of both the Crimson Dragons, and the International Peace Federation. Well, we'd be doing a service by all teaming up and destroying those terrorists!" Seiko said.

Franz scratched his chin.

"For the sake of the people... I will gladly accept your offer." Franz said. "As for everyone else?"

"I think you've spoken for everyone." Yoshiki said.

"Damn right." Senjin said.

"I've never been opposed to it." Zenka said.

"Kill or be killed. It certainly makes sense." Yuuya said.

Franz looked to Levi.

"I want a better world for Olivia. She's only a year old, and I'm not letting her grow up in a world with scum like Cursed." Levi said. "We're killing that motherfucker, even if I die too."

"You're a dad?!" Ketsuo said.

"Same thoughts." Senjun said.

"Fuck it, I ship it." Kuro mumbled, and Zenka smiled.

"If you knew them, it'd make sense." Zenka whispered.

"Proud to be one." Levi said.

"Holy shit you have changed." Ketsuo said.

"You're damn right Ketsbro." Levi replied. "I'd die for my little girl, and if I have to, I'm not afraid. Not that I wanna go anywhere."

"Well... I guess you did it Seiko." Naomi said.

"Glad I did so." Seiko said.

Levi walked up to them.

"So everyone has a child too?" Levi asked.

"Yep." Seiko said. "Nima!"

Nima ran over to Seiko.

"This is Levi, he's an old friend of ours." Seiko said.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Levi Vriden." He said.

"This is the perverted one you told me stories about?" Nima asked.

"Hard to believe." Naomi said. "But yep."

"People change for the ones they love." Levi said.

"Tell that to my boyfriend, he's too scared to have sex with me." Nima said, and Naomi and Seiko's jaws dropped.

"You have a boyfriend? Ooh, I've gotta meet him!" Seiko said. "I've been gone for way too long!"

"I didn't know about this either Seiko." Naomi said.

"Oh crap." Kuro said.

"Well you see Nima... Sex is great and all, don't get me wrong, but you do love him for who he is, right?" Levi asked.

"He wouldn't be my boyfriend then." Nima said.

"Well, that's relieving." Seiko said.

"Damn right about that." Naomi said. "I was gonna have a heart attack."

Zenka walked over to Levi.

"Levi, this is my son Kuro, my daughter Hachi, and my adopted son Xen." Zenka said, and before Kuro could even know what hit him, Nima was hugging him and burying her head in his shoulder.

"Hi... I'm Kuro..." Kuro said, just having the wind knocked out of him.

"I'm Xen..." Xen said.

"Hi! I'm Hachi!" Hachi said.

"Nice to meet you all-"

"Don't try to get with my sister!" Xen said.

"I have a wife and a daughter, thank you very much. I'm not interested at all." Levi said.

Franz spoke up.

"Everybody, you all may have been convinced Yuu was a general in the Musume Clan... But he was actually my spy. Since we are all allies now, I have no need of hiding that." Franz said.

"Fooled me." Naomi said.

"I'm a great actor." Yuu said.

"No joke." Zenka said.

"Hi. I'm Shuu, Yuu's son." Shuu said.

"I can see the resemblance." Levi said and smiled.

Yuka and Satsuki walked over to Levi.

"Levi, this is our daughter, Reiko." Satsuki said.

"Well, I don't believe it Sats... How'd you and Yuka do it? And Seiko and Naomi?" Levi asked.

"I'm the best scientist out Levi, didn't you know that?" Silver asked rhetorically.

"That explains a hell of a lot." Levi said, then he turned back to the couple.

"Hi!" Reiko said. "I'm Reiko Mizuhara!"

"Levi Vriden, I'm good friends with almost everyone here!" Levi said.

"You have a daughter?" Reiko asked.

"Yep, couldn't be prouder." Levi said.

"Can I see her sometime?!" Reiko asked, excited.

"Anytime you want, Reiko." Levi said. "Besides, I could always use a babysitter when Syra and I are out on a date. I'll even pay you."

"Holy crap he's hooked, Yuka." Satsuki said, beaming.

Yuka simply smiled.

"I can be her babysitter?" Reiko asked.

"Anytime you want!" Levi said.

Reiko turned back to her parents and hugged Yuka.

"Well, lemme tell you Levi. I haven't seen her this excited since I got her into Taekwondo, and she kicked her trainer's ass the first day." Satsuki said.

"Well, I guess I won't need to hire security then." Levi said.


Everybody rejoiced, however Cursed was able to hack into the conference.

And he was furious.

"Elektra..." Cursed whispered, and rubbed his daughter's head.
"If daddy dies... I need you to continue his legacy. Because lots of blood was be spilled soon."

She didn't understand, she was merely three years old.

"Hopefully daddy's strength is in you. Because unfortunately, you will need it." Cursed whispered.
"Soon, someone will die. And it might just be me."
