A/N

Tokumi POV

I could only watch, my heart racing faster as the energy flowed visibly around my older brother, whom was now performing the ultimate transition of a spirit, an inversion… There isn't any way i could compete with an inversion, even if it was a first transformation, the power gap was too vast. The energy finally dispersed to reveal Kaeto in half knight's armor. His sword now much more of an intimidating length. His broad sword has become a massive cleaver which he dragged on the ground behind him as he stalked to me. Everyone he beat he had held back on.

There's no way…

It was a split second before i was slammed by the broad side of the cleaver, me not even attempting to dodge knowing such motives were futile. The force of the hit sent my flying into the arena wall, a crater left where i collided with the stone and barrier, which regenerated. I was wide eyed, the impact doing more damage than i could have imagined. My legs were broken, there being no more form of escape for me. Kaeto walked over to me, her face full of dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong Tokumi? Your legs in a bind? Let me lend you a hand!" He grabbed my left ankle and flung me into the air where the barrage begun, blurs of him going back and forth at lightning speeds as his cleaver slashed more and more of my flesh. He lunged above me as i finally begun to drop from his constant attacks. He burst downwards and front flipped into a drop kick, the kick making me cough up at least half a litre of blood, before i was sent crashing into the ground from the kicks acceleration on my body.

I lay in a small crater, blood leaking from every limb on my body, my eyes in a daze. Defeat isn't what one would call this… more like slaughter? He landed 20ft away from my broken body as the announcer called the end of the fight.

"What a disgrace you were Tokumi…" He said and walked away to the north prep room. All i could do was wait for the medical group came to pick me up, as my consciousness slipped away..

i was warned of the brutality of the tournament… but i didn't… expect this…

Kurumi POV

I watched as Tokumi was carried away from the arena, the crowd roaring in exhilaration of the fight. An inversion was expected of the winner's round, but not like that.

Darn it Kaeto.. You're getting my hopes up..

Teresa just sat there, a frown of sorrow on her face obviously impacted by the brutal loss tokumi just endured. I got up and walked away, not saying anything to Teresa because if she asked where i was going, i didn't know myself.. i just wanted to be anywhere but here. The winner's rounds work as immediate competition, the next fight happening asap after the prior battle, and i wasn't due until last which gave me time.

Some random location

I kept walking, probably for around an hour, until i came to a cliffside which i didn't really know existed. i've had small pockets of time to explore Trigon, but not much of the suburban areas. it was very peaceful, the trees around swaying softly in the wind. The rustle of the many thousands of leaves were soothing in a way. i closed my eyes, allowing the environmental serenity to envelope me. It was very calming..

I opened my eyes again, looking around to see what seemed to be a small community area with a group of houses and people living there. They looked very out of date, which peaked my interest. I turned to look at the city, Town Square's Clock Tower rang Γ:βΘʹ [3:29].

I have about an hour at most.. i guess i have some time…

I jumped down the cliff, sliding down the smooth rockside which coated the cliff. I reached the bottom, some dust and rock stuck to my skirt which i brushed off. The village was more concealed from ground level which was interesting. I walked into the area, the houses now visible through the treeline, and the soft chatting of voices in the distance. As i grew nearer, The voices turned from whispering to chatting, the houses were in a circular formation around a fountain which sprayed fresh water. The fountain had what looked to be a man striking down a lion which didn't really make sense to me, but it must have some sort of symbolism to it.

There were two women walking by the fountain which i decided to talk to.

"Hello?" The women looked to me before smiling kindly. One was wearing what looked to be a baker's outfit and other just normal clothes and a flower hat.

"Hi there, you from Town?" The woman with the flower hat greeted.

"Yes, i saw this little community and it got me curious. This place isn't on the Trigon Map.. Why is that?" One of the women looked to me surprised, this was stuff you learned in school, which i didn't attend for reasons.

"You don't know? This was the starting area for Trigon when it first came to be, though it was called something else. This area is called Verizon's Circle, which was the original name of the Town before it was taken over by those spirits…" This peaked my interest to no end, seeing the history of Trigon's creation had something to do with people not liking Spirits.

"Why do you guys not like spirits? Aren't you spirits?" The two girls looked at each other, a look of Curiosity on them.

"Geez kid you're not very knowledgeable of Trigon's History.. Didn't you go to school?"

"No, i wasnt allowed, the every school and education program denied my applications". The two girls looked more confused now, and angered.

"Now why is that? Denying a young girl education.. What a bunch of twats.. They better have a good reason".

"I.. The reason is.. I.. i hurt Queen Fiora badly and rumor spread which became me looking like a monster".

"You hurt that dastardly queen?" I nodded which made them burst into laughter.

"About darn time something happened to that wench of a ruler! Geez that-"

"Why are you insulting Fiora?" The girls stopped which my response must have surprised them.

"Well it's her family's fault were off the friggin map in the first place, though they don't say that in their history books". This caught me off guard.. which i hadn't really thought anything wrong of the queen before..

"What do you mean? Fiora told me that her mother founded Trigon at its creation?"

"You actually believing that cunt's words? Her spatter is as useful as a dictionary without definitions. The true founder of Verizon is that man right there". The baker pointed to the fountain which had the man slaying the lion.

"His name is Verdon Izonberg, he was a great man who founded the nation of Trigon 400 years ago or so.. idk.." The face didn't look that familiar until now, Verdon was the enemy king in Fiora's book of trigon's history, but was portrayed as an evil king who slaved his civilians and Fiora's Family liberated them, making the nation of Trigon!

"This fountain is the oldest relic of those days, being built in his honor and it was hidden when That stupid queen's bloodline took over the place. The reason Verizon Circle isn't on the map anymore is because Fiora doesn't know it still exists which is good for us". The woman with the hat said, leaning back against the fountain-side with a sigh.

"Those spirits are quite the lively race.. Always sparring around this time of year.. Annoying to us seeing how all we hear for days on end is screaming and explosions.. Darn spirits gotta ruin such a lovely day with their events of turmoil.."

"Wait.. you guys said you don't like spirits, yet you're talking to me so calm and friendly.." The girls smiled before looking to me happily.

"You seem very nice and curious of what's right and wrong. You also powerful, if you can hurt that Fiora bitch at your age, then you could be the catalyst we've been looking for".

"Catalyst?"

"We want all of Trigon to know of Fiora's Lies! Come with us, we must see you to the mayor!" Without even a second thought, they grabbed my hand and started me to the town(Village) hall.

"By the way, My name is Meredy" The girl with the baker clothes on exclaimed, before looking to the other woman.

"And that's Alysia" The woman with the flower hat waved at me which i waved back.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Kurumi Tokisaki" I replied, The two women both nodding happily at me.

Them pulling me through the surprisingly large population of Verizon Circle attracted a lot of attention. I couldn't hear their thoughts because of Fiora's Ability Range, which was a little bit of a bummer, but nothing i really couldn't guess myself. They pressed on until we reached a larger building made of stone slabs which read "HALL" on it, which they wasted no time in entering. It wasn't long after a few turns did we reach a room with a man at his desk sorting through papers.

"Hm? Oh Meredy, Alysia, welcome welcome.. and who is this?" The man said, the two women smiling and nudging me forward, prompting me to introduce myself.

"I'm Kurumi Tokisaki, i came to look around from Trigon".

"Trigon eh? bryagh.. what have you brought her here for you two?"

"She says she is acquainted with Fiora and has the ability to severely injure her! We brought her here under those circumstances". Meredy explained which made me confused a bit.

When did i say i was acquainted? Is it that obvious?

"We thought you might want to meet her sir". The man leaned forward, his eyes squinting slightly before leaning back with a sigh.

"I see.. hmm... Alright.. Let's begin with Operation Dethrone".
