Prologue
(The end of Violet Blossoms)
Benji and Kanna race by the halls of the base. Kanna stare in shock how fast and determined Benji is running. "Why he keeps pushing himself? He could just fall sited and say that he can't go on. No one would ask for an explanation. His body and his energy are on the verge of collapsing." Kanna thinks seeing the state of her rival.
And on the way Benji grab a mobile radio set and turn it on. "Kasumi they are moving up!" Benji shouts in the transmitter. "We noticed. Maria managed to delay then by jamming the elevator door. You have ten minutes on the tops. Maria and the others can't fight because they can't get in." Kasumi replies from the Shogei-maru.
"Fine. I will be there." Benji says "You got Kanna signal?"
"Yes. We are glad to see that she is safe." Kasumi answers.
Benji tosses that radio pack to the red head. "Tell me if Kasumi inform anything." Benji orders to the red head. Kanna grits her teeth but picks up the set. Few minutes later on the surface one side wall of the large depot explode. Debris fly and some hit a near river. A motorcycle with a side car leaves the building. On the side car Benji sees Sumire. Benji picks the rope and manage to lace the step tire behind the side car. Still holding the rope he is dragged by the high speed vehicle. He raises a tick layer of dust. The pilot shot at Benji but he miss because the movements. Benji begun to use the rope to get closer of the motorcycle. Kanna stare in shock the absolutely insane stunt, especially considering Benji actual physical state.
Benji reach the motorcycle and see that Sumire is unconscious and she have her left cheek a bit redder and her left corner of her mouth have a thin line of blood. Benji fight with the pilot. Still moving they pass over a lump and both Benji and the pilot fall on the ground hard rolling up on the ground and over the other. On the Shogei-maru the sounds of the fight of Benji and the pilot are heard. "On the fall must have turned on." Kasumi theorizes.
"Move down. Prepare to rescue then." Maria orders to the kazegumi members. "Understood." Yuri says acknowledging the order. They began to move down. Benji is under the pilot and they are trading punches. Benji picks a rock and hit him on the head hard. The man falls and Benji keeps hitting and the man skull break with the hits. Benji drops the now bloody stone and sees that the bike now moving slower is moving to the river. He gets up and begun to walk to the bike tossing aside the weapons and the bag pack. He began to run faster and faster. The bike flies over a small docking area and sinks fast. Benji race trying to reach the edge fast. Reaching the edge he leaps on the water. Behind him only a red line can be seen. "The tracer has stopped working. Lack of battery and the water." Kasumi explains to the hanagumi members who are still conscious.
"Move faster!" Maria orders beginning to worry about the sake of her team mates and friends. Yuri nods. The hanagumi get ready taking out Ogami, Iris and Reni. The trio is sleeping. Ogami because the painkillers and Iris and Reni because the stress of the previous hours. Meanwhile Kanna is firing at the depot trying to prevent then from escaping unaware of the events by the river. Under the water Benji swim to the bottom following a line of air bubbles. He reaches the bike on the bottom. Sumire is strapped on a seat belt and Benji try to undo it. But it is jammed. Benji cut it with a knife and hold Sumire close and begun to move up. Benji reach the surface with Sumire and move to the edge. He noticed that Sumire isn't breathing and only move faster. He reaches the edge and pulls her to the ground. He laid her on the ground with the back down, he search for a pulse and don't found it.
He opens her mouth and put both hands on her chest and press it. And he press more four times and he touch her lips with his and blow air on her lungs. He does it two more times and massages her chest again. While massaging her strongly trying to make her breath he shouts to her. "Come on Sumire! Come back!"
And he again blows air to her and he resumes the compressions. "Please Sumire come back! Don't leave me!" He begs to her. And he again does the mouth to mouth. He again resumes the compressions and says with his voice sounding very scared. "Please Sumire don't leave me. Please."
Tears mix with the water on his face and drip on her. "This is not working. I must try something else." Benji says ripping open her uniform top. He charges some energy on his hands and he press on her chest and her body shake like it has been hitted by a powerful electrical discharge. He searches for a pulse and do it again now stronger. Once more her body shakes at the energy and he blows more air to her. And to it again.
"Please Sumire don't give up! You are stronger than this!" he says in a faint voice still trying to resuscitate the heir of the Kanzaki family. "Sumire I love you. Please don't leave me. I can't live with out you." Benji pleas to the limp form of Sumire. Her eyes half open because of the shocks stares his eyes with out the shine of life.
"No…no…you can't…you can't die…" Benji whispers to her holding Sumire tightly. Pressing her limp form against his chest. Staining her flawless white skin with his dark red blood. His blood and tears drips on her lifeless face slowly rolling on her skin.
"Please don't leave me…" Benji begs in a sob "I can't lose another loved one…not again"
Sumire can't respond to his sincere begging. A dread silence fills the area. The shots from Kanna have stopped. And Benji picks Sumire corpse after gently closing her eyes and giving her a soft kiss on the lips. His first and last kiss. He walks to the base slowly. He reaches the base and Kanna races to him. She stops seeing his face. The determinate expression that once was on his face is gone. Replaced by one of infinite sadness and despair. Tears still fall from his eyes falling over Sumire after trailing on his face. Kanna sees Sumire. Her body limp, her arms folded over her stomach and the lifeless expression of her blood and tear stained face. She understands that Benji failed. Sumire is dead. His mission is over. And she lost her Sumire.
Kanna grabs Sumire corpse and hitting Benji. The tired and grieving man doesn't resists. The Shogei-maru is moving down and rolled down the climbing rope to let them climb. Kanna hooks Sumire corpse leaving Benji fallen on the ground. She hooks herself and they are lifted.
Inside the Shogei-maru the hanagumi is in silence. No one dares to say anything. Maria helps Kanna to unhook Sumire and lay her on a bench. And Maria hooks herself and goes down to pick Benji. Who is still in the ground and don't show signs of leaving it.
"Benji let's go." Maria says moving to him. Benji doesn't respond. A loud roar of an engine cuts the air. A huge truck is leaving the base. Benji picks a symbol on a man clothes and raises all of sudden. "I will avenge her." He says with his voice dripping with rage. He disappears and appears in front of the truck.
"Mighty Seiryu…Pledging my entire soul and body…I summon every drop of your great power…To exterminate my enemies!" Benji says with a cold voice.
"Benji get out of there!" Maria shouts running to Benji trying to get him out of the way of the speeding truck.
"IN THE NAME OF THE ANCIENT PACT I SHALL BE THE VESSEL OF YOUR FURY!" Benji shouts the end of his forbidden ritual. A large lightning falls from the clear sky. With the shape of a dragon and it hits Benji. Destroying the ground around him in a burst of light. The truck is hitten by a powerful lightning blast that fully destroy the engine block and stops the huge machine. Maria stares at Benji. His hair that it was in a dull silver color are now shinning silver, his red eyes glow like rubies burning with rage and energy. His ragged shirt is replaced by a blue scaled armor covering him from below the neck, only leaving the fingers uncovered. Benji moves to the truck and rips the door out from it. Tossing it many meters away. He sees a man cowering inside the cabin.
"You are the leader of that scum of an army. You killed the person who I love more than my life. And for that you will pay." Benji says to him in a deep and rage full voice. He grabs the man by the neck burying his now long black nails on his flesh and drags him out from the cabin. The man tries to cut off Benji arm. But to his shock the sword breaks on the scales. Benji grabs the broken sword and nails the man into a tree by the wrists. He screams in pain. Benji smiles at the man pain.
Benji uses his claws to rip open the man abdomen. He screams even more with that. Benji grabs the man stomach and pulls it off from the man. He lifts it careless ripping his guts on the way. He places it over the man head and slashes it open with his claws. The man roars in pain with the acid dissolve his skin and flesh. Maria stares in shock fighting the urge to throw up with that horrible scene. The man screams while the acid eats away his face, shoulders and chest. And Benji is ripping chunks of the man legs adding more pain to him. Soon the man dies when the acid finally reaches into his brain. Maria lost the fight with her stomach and it is throwing up.
Benji moves to her. He burns the blood off his hand with his energy cleaning them. "I avenged the woman that I love. I am soon going to follow her." Benji says rubbing gently Maria back to ease her nausea. Maria who finished looks at him with shock. "What I just did killed me." He says calmly kneeling on the ground. Maria can see that he isn't lying. The torture took ten minutes. And she can see the scales falling from his body. Showing that it wasn't a armor. But it was natural scales. Under them Benji wounds appear. And there isn't a sign of how the scales were attached to his skin. As it was just glued there. Benji arms hang limply and his eyes are half closed and unfocused.
"No!" a female voice shouts. Maria turns to the voice. She sees Reni running to them crying. Reni hugs Benji kneeling in front of him. "Please don't die!" she cries to the taller man.
Benji eyes focus on Reni. He smiles weakly at her "You woke…" he moves his lips saying but no words leave his mouth. "Please don't leave me!" Reni cries burying her face on his bloody chest staining her white skin with his blood. "Please…I love you…"
Benji eyes went with Reni confession. It was barely a whisper. But he heard it clearly. He can feels her warm body tightly against his and she trying hard to pass him some of her own energy trying to keep him alive.
