Chapter 35: Byakugan!
"Would you please come with my Clay Bloodline? I don't want to fight." Vin said as he stood straight.
"No, you're not taking him!" Dustin said as he stepped in front of the group.
"I hate doing this." Vin said as he closed his eyes and put his hands together. "But you leave me no choice. Byakugan!" Vin opened his eyes and they were white. No iris's, no pupils, nothing.
"Fantastic, this guy has the Byakugan." Tyler said.
"That's not going to stop me!" Zach said as he ran forward towards Vin. "If you want Ryan, you will have to go through me first!"
Zach swiped his hands in the air and the bag of sand ripped opened violently. The sand rush down towards Vin. Vin closed his eyes and jumped and rolled onto the ground. Zach growled and formed the sand into a fist. He forced it to rush towards Vin. Vin stood back up and awaited for the fist to hit him.
"Too easy." Zach smirked as the fist closed in on Vin. Vin suddenly launched his hand into the air, two fingers extended. He hit the sand fist as it closed in on him. The Fist stopped in place. Everyone stared on in confusion.
"What happen?" Shayne asked.
"The Byakugan let him see the weak point in the Sand Fist. A simple hit stopped the fist." Tyler said. Suddenly the sand fist broke apart and fell to the ground.
"Alright Sand Bloodline, just give up, I don't want to hurt you." Vin said as he took an attacking stance.
"Don't be so cocky!" Zach yelled running towards Vin.
"Zach No!" Ryan yelled.
Vin ran toward, close to the ground. As he approached Zach he extended his two index fingers on both hands and rapidly tapped Zach in six different places. Zach was still for a moment and then fell to the ground.
"I should have seen that coming." Zach said threw his teeth as he hit the ground.
"Zach!" Ryan yelled in anger. He looked towards Dustin. "I can't let you guys get hurt because of me."
"We're not giving you up." Dustin said as he looked back towards Vin. "Tyler, we have to rush him."
"But he will just hit our Chakra points." Tyler said.
"Keep in mind we use Ki, not Chakra!" Dustin said as he started to run towards Vin.
"I don't want to fight. But you leave me no choice!" Vin ran towards Dustin.
They meet in the middle of the gym and Dustin threw the first punch. Vin barely dodged the punch and he hit Dustin in 3 places on his arm. Vin looked up at Dustin's face as he smiled.
"That trick won't work on me." Dustin did a leg swipe and Vin jumped into the air and kicked Dustin in the face. Dustin flew onto his back. Vin looked up to see Tyler flying towards him.
"Take this!" Tyler yelled as he threw six energy balls towards Vin. Vin jumped and spun out of the way. The Energy balls hit the side of the gym.
"You must be a youngling. Not knowing your powers quite yet. How you helped defeat a Death Bloodline is beyond me. But I will teach you a lesson!" Vin ran up to Tyler and hit him in the stomach and a white flash burst out from Tyler's back and he screamed in pain.
Vin looked up and stared a towards Ryan with his blank white eyes. Shayne jumped in between them.
"Shayne no." Ryan said in anger towards himself.
"He is right. You will end as the rest of your friends. As I said all I am here to do is take the Clay Manipulator away, the rest of you are not of my concern. But if you keep getting in my way I will have no choice but to end your lives." Vin said as he inhaled deeply.
Suddenly Vin jumped into the air and Dustin went flying under him.
"Did you forget he has eyes in the back of his head?" Ryan asked.
"Just for a minute." Dustin said as he turned around midair and placed his feet on the ground.
"Please tell me you are giving up. He will be given a fair chance to tell his story. There is a chance that he will return." Vin said.
"But there is still a chance he will be killed by the Tribunal. We won't let that happen." Zach said, as he struggled to get up.
Ryan looked on in near horror at was caused because the Tribunal was after him.
"Ok." Ryan said as he walked past Shayne and Dustin.
"Ok?" Dustin asked in confusion.
"Yes ok. I will go and face the Tribunal." Ryan said as he walked up to Vin. Vin closed his eyes and reopened them. His eyes were back to normal.
"Ryan no. We can defeat him." Zach said as he started to walk towards him.
"No Zach, it's what I have to do. It was my fault this happen. I should have told my parents about the powers in the first place. Then I would have known about keeping it a secret. I would not have been so reckless when fighting the Mayor. This is happening because of me, and I need to take responsibility for it."
"You did the right thing." Vin said as he threw a smoke pellet onto the ground. Smoke started to engulf him and Ryan.
"Ryan, NO!" Grandpa said as the smoke disappeared and they were gone.
"No, no, no." Grandpa said as he paced in place.
"Well maybe the Tribunal will understand what happen." Tyler said.
"No. Not with Galcian." Grandpa said.
"Who's Galcian?" Dustin asked.
"He is a member of the Tribunal. If he has anything to do with it, then Ryan will die the moment he walks into the Tribunal." Grandpa said.
"Why did that slip your mind before he left?" Zach burst out.
"It was too fast. I'm sorry. Now he's dead." Everyone looked at each other. Zach then walked up to Nate.
"Why didn't you do anything? You just stood there like a zombie!" Zach yelled into his brother's face.
"Because I would have gotten owned like you did you moron. I saw he was Byakugan, so why should I get myself beaten up for no reason."
"It doesn't matter, if your friends in trouble you fight no matter what." Zach raised his voice.
"Well I am sorry I don't have your sense of loyalty." Nate said as he clenched his fist.
"ENOUGH!" Dustin yelled as he pushed them apart. "This is not the time to fight with each other."
"Do you know where the Tribunal is?" Shayne asked Grandpa as Nate stomped his way out the door.
"Yes. But you're not considering going to them are you?" Grandpa asked.
"It's not a bad idea. Maybe we can go and plead our case with Ryan." Dustin said.
"The chances of you making it back alive are slim to none. I can't let you kids go." Grandpa said in a firm stance.
"Sorry. But he would do the same for all of us. I have to go and try." Zach said.
"But what about here? While were gone what if something happens here." Tyler said. They all shook their heads at once.
"That's a good point." Dustin said as he looked up at the ceiling, trying to think.
"I can stay behind." Shayne offered. "I will stay here and do what I can. You guys go and help Ryan."
"Are you sure? " Tyler asked.
"Yeah it makes the most sense." Shayne said.
"Ok." Dustin said as he looked back towards Grandpa. "Where is the Tribunal located?"
"There is only one portal to get to their location."
"Portal?" Zach questioned.
"Yes. Have you boys ever heard of the Bermuda Triangle?"
"Bermuda Triangle? You mean that place off the coast of Florida that is said to be the cause of disappearance of planes and boats?" Tyler asked.
"The very one. The Bermuda Triangle is a portal to the Tribunal's island. Travel through the portal and you will be there."
"Well we got some planning to do." Dustin said as he looked towards Tyler. "Do your parents understand you having powers?"
"My mom seems to be ignoring that. She always changes the subject." Tyler said with a confused look on his face.
"I will talk to her. And I will talk to your parent's Zach." Grandpa said.
"Thanks." Zach and Tyler said at the same time.
"Good. You guy's need to get packed as soon as possible." Dustin said.
"How are we going to get to Florida?" Tyler asked. Dustin flipped his phone open.
"This is the plus side of being in a deal with a government agents. I am sure he can get us some plane tickets and boat." Dustin said smiling.
"What about Nate?" Zach asked with an annoyance in his voice. Dustin sighed.
"I will talk to him."
