Last time, Kazuma and Ayase were left to fight against the mysterious figure, Rukaro found something that might have terrified him when he got to R-305. As for Ryuhou, he was left to find a village as soon as possible due to that Mimori had been injured. Since Ryuhou has lost all contact with his comrades during the explosion.

Revelations: Part one

"No…" said the Boss of HOLD as he stood there still from what he saw with his own eyes." You can't be alive…"!

"I am…" said the tall grey-haired man as he stood up from his wooden chair and started walking towards Rukaro.

"But you can't be alive…" Rukaro said again as he stay still from his position looking at the grey haired man that was coming at him closer by the second. "I saw you die in the fight against the Alter Five!"

"That what you thought…" said the grey haired man as he stopped for he was now in front of Rukaro. "But I was able to survive that fight without paying a price or to say my life's price" he said as he started to laugh. "Maybe you could take a few pointers from me on how to escape the inevitable. And just in case my name is Haku" he said while walking away to the opposite side of Rukaro.

From Rukaro's eyes, Haku looked more of man in the ages that could be estimated to either in the thirties or forties. But, he could fool anyone with that because of his handsomely features that were covered by opposite side of his head with long-silver bangs that hanged with a low-ponytail from the back of his head passing his shoulders. He wore a long-dark leather jacket that went from his broad shoulders all the down to his hips. From under his leather jacket was a white plain shirt that stretched down to touch the long and blue jeans with his black shoes.

"Haku" Rukaro repeated in a whisper as he started walking into the room 305. "Maybe things will change for the benefit. For the benefit of the plan…the plan for the destruction of the Alter Users" Rukaro thought as he sat down on a wooden chair that was across from Haku.

Only the both of them were in this room.

"So…" Rukaro said as he looked across to Haku. "You are planning to help me then…" he continued as took his stare from Haku to a nearby half-broken window. "…with the plan I mean?"

"Yes…" Haku answered with taking his stare down at the wooden floor. "But on one condition"

"So there is a catch huh?" he asked knowing that it was obvious that the person in front of him wouldn't do things for anyone freely.

"Yes, the condition is that I need to use your power to control the city tomorrow" Haku asked as got up and started walking toward a brown-wooden desk. As he open one the top drawers, he took out a big yellow folder that had some documents inside. While looking at the yellow folder, he started walking back to his seat.

"Here look at these documents…" Haku said as he gave the yellow folder to Rukaro while sitting down.

"And tell me what you see through the pictures as well" said the grey-haired man with an evil grin on his face.

As the Boss of HOLD took the yellow folder, he opened it and started observing through each document and picture that was there waiting for to be seen with his eyes. While he kept observing, his eyes became wide open due to a random picture that was colored black and white.

"See anything…" Haku asked with a smirk on his face. "Familiar?"

"That's my family!" yelled Rukaro as he looked at Haku with anger in eyes. "So it was you…" yelled again the Boss of HOLD as he got off his seat and went to where Haku was and grabbed him from his leather jacket.

As he pulled him up, he stared at him with much of hatred showing through his features of his face.

"It was you …" Rukaro said again. "You were the one who took my family away! You took them away from when I was little!" Rukaro yelled he kept shaking Haku incessantly. "I had thought all this time that they were gone! And here I find out that it was you who had them all this time. Where are they? Tell me!" demanded the Boss of Hold as he still had his strong grip on Haku.

"Yes, it was me" Haku finally spoke. "But I did it to make sure that you would grow up to be who you are today. A strong man, who can control anyone in this place…" continued Haku with calm face. "Anyone including those Native Alters" he finished saying.

Rukaro eyes became wide open at what just hit him. As he knew what was going on right now, he let go of Haku while stepping back.

"So…" said Rukaro as he looked at silver haired man in front of him. "I guess I'm starting to understand why you captured my family and kept away from me for such a long time…" he continued to say as he looked down at the picture of his family.

Only his both parents and his only younger were there smiling through the picture.

"Just so I can become someone who can manipulate others? Why didn't you do that Haku? Someone who has a way to do that easily… the one with the code the name...D. M." Rukaro continued to say. "Or to say Destructive Mind. The only villain in the Lost Ground that hasn't been captured as of yet. With an incredible power that with either a touch or a look from your eyes or hands to our minds, we lose control of ourselves. Such a power that no one can't escape from" finished Rukaro as he put the picture while folding it in his pocket.

"Yes, my power should be feared" said Haku as he looked down at the floor again. "But such power can definitely take much energy. But to answer your question, I will do that…but there are just too many impediments in my way. Which one is know how to control this power…it's impracticable"

"So, that is why you wouldn't consider doing that…" said the Boss of HOLD putting his hands in his pockets. "Many possibilities for you to lose your game right?

"Yes…too many to risk" answered Haku. "Which is why I need you to something for me" he said while looking at Rukaro.

"What would that be?" Rukaro asked.

"Well, since you came to me to help you with your plan…" Haku said as he look at the yellow folder that lay flatly on the wooden table. "I will do as you bid in exchanged for the favor I'm about to ask you" he continued to say as he continued looking down at the yellow folder.

"Which is?" the Boss of Hold asked a little impatient.

"You first need to say that you will do the favor that I will ask you" Haku said again as he looked up at Rukaro.

A few seconds passed as Rukaro didn't answered.

"Ok…I will do your little favor" Rukaro finally answered.

"Good…things will change for the better" Haku said as he sat himself down to his seat.

"Yes…for the better" Rukaro said with uncertainly but put it aside as he sat down in his seat.

As the two began to talk about their plans and favors, things were already getting worst for the others.

Back at Kazuma and Ayase…

As Kazuma and Ayase started running with their attacks ready towards dark figure, it also did the same.

As Kazuma came at a close range to their enemy before Ayase, he took his second form fist and made it go straight to the dark figure. But the dark figure blocked it by putting his sword in the way.

"Damn it!" yelled Kazuma as he tried to push the sword that is blocking his way.

"You obviously realized with that form you won't win right?" the dark figure asked as he still holds his sword in place, blocking Kazuma's attack.

As Kazuma was about respond, Ayase came in with her attack by getting behind it.

"Then you obviously didn't realized that you had let your guard down" she said she had some of her hair by its neck.

The dark figure was trapped, it couldn't move since Ayase was on the back with her hair ready to be activated. In its front was Kazuma, if he uses his swords to block the woman that was behind, dark figure would be paying its life as well with Kazuma's fist.

"You have no way out…" smirked Kazuma as he kept pushing his fist into the sword. "…you will lose!" he yelled.

"Is that what you think?" the dark figure asked as it started to vanished in front of Ayase and Kazuma.

As dark figure had vanished the few hairs of Ayase that were wrapped around the dark figure's neck were fallen back to their owner. And Kazuma put his fist away as he went falling straight into Ayase, making them both fall to the ground. As both of them got up from their fall, they looked up to the dark figure that was standing just a few feet away from them.

"So you appeared again?" said Kazuma after getting up. "That was one damn trick!" he said while helping Ayase to stand up.

"Kazuma…we need to be careful…" Ayase said while giving a worried look at him. "…he seems to be a powerful opponent"

"Yeah…sure…you too" Kazuma responded as he looked at her then back their enemy that was still standing in front of them.

"It seems that you're both not angered enough to fight at your full level as of yet…" said the dark figure as raising its right hand hold it in front as a fist. "…so…I need to tell the unbearable to my might be the bearable truth for the both of you or …one of you" dark figure said again as its fist expanded by opening and out came few golden colored sparkling mini-size stars that floated in circles.

"Kazuma what is he…" asked Ayase but was interrupted.

"What was I doing you ask?" said dark figure as he continued to Ayase's question. "Well…I'm planning to make you all suffer internally…maybe that way you will be able to get yourselves in rage enough for me to have a good battle"

"What the hell are you talking about?" yelled Kazuma as he got in front of Ayase to protect her from whatever the dark figure was planning to do with them.

"Being her guard won't do any good" smirked that dark figure as it pointed its expanded handed towards Kazuma. "You won't be able to with stand the events of a dark past" it said again with an evilly grin. "Oh yeah, before I do what I'm about to do…" he said by starting his attack towards both Ayase and Kazuma. "…my name is Joker" he finally said his name.

"Joker huh" said Kazuma while still in his position in protecting Ayase. "What do you do Joker?" he asked knowing that it was the wrong question to ask.

"You will see…" said Dai as he let his power take over the area he and the other two were.

As he let his powers take over, everything around Kazuma and Ayase became all black with white-outlining of the extieror of buildings, cars, and even the sky. But only the both of them weren't touched by the blackness that was spreading fast.

Then as it kept spreading both Kazuma and Ayase fainted due to the air that felt fuzzy and hot that surrounded them.

A few hours later…

"Hey Akita don't go running off to far from me" said the brown-haired female as she continued walking down the sidewalk.

"But, sis… look were almost to Kanami-chan house…see?" pointed the young black haired boy as he kept running towards a big white-worn out house.

As the boy got closer to the house, a big explosion happened. As the explosion continued, the boy was thrown back to hit a telephone pole to then fall down hard to the ground.

"Akira!" screamed the Noble tempest alter user as she ran towards where the little boy lay.

As the Nobel Tempest user got to the little boy, she picked him up into her arms. She continued to call for his name. But young black-haired boy didn't make any reactions towards Ayase's continuation of screaming or shaking him.

"Akira!" she yelled as her eyes started to get all watery. "Akira…wake up!" she yelled again as she shake the boy, but no response did the boy make.

As Ayase continued calling her little brother's name, someone appeared with a long black cape and walking towards where Ayase and the motionless boy were. As it got closer to Ayase, the figure took its cape off revealing its self.

As figure got closer to the Nobel Tempest user, Ayase got a felling that someone was standing before her. Ayase looked up to see who it was standing before her. A she looked up…she screamed.

"No… you can't be…" said the Nobel Tempest in agony. "…NO!"

Back at Mimori and Ryuhou…

As Ryuhou finally found a village, he went straight to where there could be a doctor.

A couple of hours later…

After the doctor had attended to Mimori's wound, he asked Ryuhou to stay by her side just to make sure that if the wound intends to open, he will be there to call him. Ryuhou agree to stay in the room with Mimori as being her body guard or so. The doctor had relief shown through his face as he bowed down and then left the room.

In the room were only Mimori and Ryuhou.

Ryuhou watched the sleeping beauty as she still laid down on the long narrow bed with lighted-blue color sheets covering her body all the way to her stomach. As the Ryu heir grabbed a wooden chair that was near a white-table, he brought it and set it beside the bed. As he sat down on the chair he started to observe at the woman that was sleeping in some dream right before him.

"Like I have always told you before…" Ryuhou thought as he kept looking over resting beauty. "…you were going to get hurt in a place like this. I told you to go back to 'where you belong'! Yet… you won't listen to a word I say" the Ryu heir thought as he subconsciously grabbed the Kyrui heiress's hand.

A few minutes passed after his last thought ran through his head.

"Why are you the stubborn type huh?" internally he asked himself as he still had his hold on Mimori's hand. "Why always be persistent with being with me? When you know that I won't let you be in my life. I won't let my guard down to just be with you…knowing that you will get hurt in the future if you were to stay by my side any longer" he thought again.

As Ryuhou kept collecting the rest of his thoughts in his mind, the sleeping beauty wasn't sleeping anymore.

As she woke up she felt that one of her hands was being gripped a little hard by something or someone. While opening her eyes, she made a little squeak sound of pain as she tired to get up from the bed. Then she turned her head around just to see a worried-face Ryuhou, who was also looking straight at her.

"Ryuhou…" she said bluntly with out knowing where she is or how she got there.

"Hey" said Ryuhou with relief appearing of his features. "How are you feeling?" he asked while looking at the raven-haired female that looked so fragile before him.

She answered by looking at her right shoulder where the wound was. "I feel a little better…but…" she paused for a few seconds not realizing it.

"But what?" the Ryu heir asked as he still looked at her.

"…Why or how did I get here and what happened to me…and… the village!" she continued as she started to get all panicked.

"Well, how you got here is a long story…as for the village…" Ryuhou replied but paused due to it would seem not the right moment or so to say anything about the village.

"What about the village?" Mimori asked as she looked at him into his face to search for answers. "I know that I was outside of the village…and then…as I began walking back…everything around me started to turn black…" the raven-haired female said as she covered her face with her both hands.

As the emerald-haired man watched the female raven-haired get all worked up for not remember what happened next, decided to ask a few questions to just to see if she remembers anything else.

"Is that all you remember?" he asked as he put his both hands crossed his chest.

The raven-haired female didn't answer as she still kept trying to remember what happened next. But the only thought she could come up with is only a blank with only the exception of remembering that she was walking back to the village.

"No…I don't remember anything else besides walking back to the village…" finally answered Mimori while putting her hands down plat on her lap. "I'm sorry…" Mimori continued to say with disappointment as she looked up to face Ryuhou, who was still looking at her still.

"Ah…don't worry…" Ryuhou said as he turned his head to the right side with shyness appearing on his face."…I know it's not your fault…so don't worry about it too much" he said as he looked at Mimori again.

"Ok…I will try" Mimori said with a smile on her face.

From there on Ryuhou began to tell Mimori the whole story of what happened to the village from the start, since he knew that she needed to know. As the emerald-haired man continued talking to Mimori, they both didn't realize that someone they knew has disappeared from the earth's surface for eternality.

Back at Ayase…

"No…you can't be!" yelled the Nobel Tempest alter user as she had her younger brother in her hands.

"Yes…it's me my dear Ayase…" said the figure that was in front of her. "You know that you have a dept to pay for not finishing the mission from a long time ago"

"I know that Kujo!" said Ayase as she got up with her brother in her arms. "I know that I have a mission to do…!"

"Then tell me…what is the mission that I told you to do then?" Kujo asked as he had his arms crossed looking all superior.

"It was to kill the two alter users named Ryuhou Tairen and …" she paused for it was unbearable for her to continue.

"And…" Kujo asked again with an evil grin on his face.

"…and…Kazuma" finally said Ayase she felt tears fall from her eyes.

To be continued…
