Chapter 1: Pilot of the Legendary Assassins
Universe 7
In the black void of space, a ship suddenly exited hyperspace to travel to different universes. The ship opened up, and a woman flew out and floated in close to Planet Earth of Universe 7. Stepping outside of the ship, the assailant held a humanoid with one hand.
That person was revealed to be Hit himself, beaten to a pulp, bleeding over his face and his upper body, with his trenchcoat, ripped, for the most part. The only thing which was mostly intact was the bottom part of his coat.
This new adversary wasn't as strong as Jiren, the one who beat Hit in the Tournament of Power, but this foe knew exactly how to beat Hit for what he did, as this assailant was no ordinary foe. Hit slowly narrowed his eyes, almost closing them. He tried to open his eyes wider, but instead, Hit got grabbed by his vest and pulled into the assailant's face. Hit only managed to narrow one eye and looked into the face of the assailant.
"Do you finally see it now Hit? Have you realized how the future should have been all along?" the assailant told him.
Hit didn't answer, as the assailant continued monologing.
"I am the one who should have been known as the Legendary Assassin. I mastered the Time Skip before you even knew what it was!" the assailant said when she then raised her fist. "This is the moment you repay your debt for what you did to me! Your death will satisfy me, and I will make sure to carry on the legacy! How does it feel to die by the hand you supposedly killed?!" the assailant said when she raised her right hand and punched an invisible ki blast right through Hit's chest, causing his chest to dent.
"Ooohhh!" Hit shouted.
The assailant lets go of the assassin, as he fell right down towards Earth. Hit's opponent watched him fall, leaving the half-dead assassin to die on his own.
The assassin fell into Earth's orbit, and as he slowly opened his eyes, he thought to himself. "All of this happened because I wanted to handle everything myself, but she made one miscalculation when it comes to the truth..." Hit thought.
Back on Earth, Goku was normally farming in his field. With his feet steering the tractor, he took a nap while the tractor was still riding. The unconscious body of the killer entered Earth's skies and came dropping fast down the sky. Descending closer and closer, Hit landed right in the forest, creating a loud noise, causing the forest animals to depart from the ruckus. The loud noise woke Goku up immediately from shock, crashing his tractor towards a tree.
"Daaahhhh! W-What was that?!" Goku shouted as he walked out of the broken tractor.
Goku looked at his broken tractor and scratched his back head. "Aw man, it broke again? I hope Bulma won't mind repairing it again, or maybe Mr. Satan can," Goku said as he looked around. "But, what was that noise just now? I hope no one is hurt," the farmer said when he slowly ascends in the sky and looked around.
He saw in the far distance that there was smoke rising in the sky. "Something must have happened, best if I check it out quickly," Goku said worriedly as he checked out what just crashlanded on Earth.
Goku flew towards the crash landing in the forest, watching the smoke rising in the sky. He was right at the crash and decided to go down the ground to look around.
Arriving at the catastrophe, Goku looked at what caused the crash, creating a gigantic canyon in the forest.
"What?" Goku said when he finally saw the one laying on the ground, none other than the Assassin, Hit, himself. "Hit! It's you! What are you doing here?" he said shockingly.
The Saiyan looked at Hit and saw that he was in a critical condition, bleeding all over and ripped upper body clothing. He could barely move a muscle. Goku looked closer and saw that there was a dent in Hit's left side of his chest. He then remembered that the dent was the same dent Hit left Goku when they rematched each other before the Tournament of Power. Goku felt Hit's chest and noticed that his heartbeat was going slower and slower.
"It's just like Hit's technique, but he couldn't have done it to himself, someone else did it. I have to hurry up and bring him home while I quickly get some Senzu from Korin," Goku said.
He puts his right hand on Hit and his left hand with his index and middle finger on his forehead, teleporting the Assassin away to his home first.
3 Weeks Ago, After the Tournament of Power, Universe 6
Some time has passed since the crisis of the universes. After the Tournament of Power, everyone's life went back to normal. The Saiyans of Universe 6 all went back to their planet, Caulifla, Kale, and Cabba trained to achieve Super Saiyan 3, just like Goku. The Namekians celebrated on their planet, Botamo and Magetta went back home until Vados would call them in for help. Dr. Rota attended a special event on a new planet for his abilities.
Last but not least, Hit, the Legendary Assassin, went back to work on his contracts. For his efforts in the Tournament of Power, Vados granted Hit a major upgrade on his spaceship for Hit to travel to different universes. The spaceship was specifically upgraded for Hit as it is not as special as the Cube, meant for only Gods, but solely for Hit as an Assassin.
Somewhere far on a planet, in a city with several high buildings surrounding the city while the sun rays were shining brightly around the city, Hit was casually walking in between the crowd of the capital to not be noticed. With his eyes closed, he looked for his next target who was on this planet. His intel came from the upgraded vehicle and its personal computer. His next target was a corrupt government official from Planet Gryll, Governer Suteki, with several unsolved crimes and criminal triads he is linked to but never proven to be true. The evidence could never be found, and without evidence, the governor couldn't be arrested, nor could he be convicted. There was only one way to end his corruption behind the scenes.
In the crowd, Hit stopped walking for a second and vanished from within the groups of people. The contract came from specific documents related t Universe 6 Hit received from Vados. Other than the document from Universe 6, Hit has still 11 more from each universe. Hit didn't care who gave the contract, he wouldn't reveal it to anyone anyways, as long as he was getting paid for his job.
On a rooftop, Hit was sitting with his back leaned to the edge of the rooftop and one leg up, waiting for the right opportunity. The assassin looked behind and far into the distance, seeing a huge skyscraper, towering over every other building in the city.
Inside the skyscraper, a party was going on at the top of the 100th floor. The employees and the governor were all celebrating the years he has been working there and for his accomplishments on Planet Gryll. Hit grabbed something out of his pocket, it was a small remote control with a button in the middle. He pushed the button.
"Target almost in sight, just waiting for the right opportunity to strike," Hit said as he then raised his hand towards the top of the skyscraper and pointed only his thumb without watching where he was aiming at. " I could have gone in there myself and walked through security without being detected, but an Assassins like me can try something new for a chance," the purple-coated assassin remarked.
Without looking at the building at all, only looking straight with his eyes closed, Hit then shot an invisible blast straight towards the top with his thumb. The beam was traveling towards the skyscraper. As Mr. Suteki was walking towards the window, he looked outside and saw the sun still shining, and the second the sunray hit his face, he kept his arms behind his back, he only stood still.
Then, Hit's invisible blast traveled right through the governor's chest, causing a huge dent in his chest, stopping his heart, killing him almost instantly. Suteki fell on the ground from heart failure, it was too late to save him. His employees all panicked and evacuated the building due to sniper shots. Hit's contract was dead. Still sitting on the rooftop, he opened his eyes and kept his composure.
"Target eliminated," Hit mumbled.
Tensing up his body, Hit suddenly vanished from the rooftop, not leaving a sign of him being there in the first place. Minutes later, Hit arrived at his universal vehicle and stepped inside.
"That was that," Hit said coldly.
He started his spaceship and left Planet Gryll. Sitting in his spaceship, Hit used the ship's computer to get his new target, codenamed: Manu.
"Target eliminated, who is next?" Hit said to his computer.
Suddenly, Manu, the Spaceship's computer, responded to the cold-blooded assassin in the pod.
"Great Job sir Hit. Well then, from the 12 Documents of each of the 12 universes, I have a new target who would be perfect for you. This target is from Universe 7, are you up for the challenge sir?" Manu asked.
"Universe 7? This could be interesting indeed. Who is my target, Manu?" Hit asked.
"Your target's name is Don Kee, ruler of Planet Imecka and known as a ruthless tyrant. There isn't more intel on him because he does not like attracting attention from evildoers so that he could be protected. Are you up for it, sir?" Manu asked.
Hit was thinking in his spaceship. "Hmm... a Tyrant, it's always the same with those types of people. Probably someone special must have found a way to get this document to me to assassinate this guy, Don Kee..." Hit said to himself. "Fine, I accept Manu, set the course to Planet Imecka in Universe 7," Hit told the computer.
"Right away sir, leave it to me. Should I start your log or is this one contract you want to skip?" Manu said as it automatically flew itself through hyperspace, from Universe 6 to Universe 7.
"Yes, this is one contract that I will speak about in my log," Hit said.
Manu started Hit's log as Hit kept composure.
Hit's log
"My assignments were mostly the same, they give me a target, I assassinate them for money. If they don't pay, then they are my next target. Lately, many things have happened in the last weeks. The Tournament of Power was, of course, the main highlight. All of the universes survived because Universe 7 won and wished everyone back to life, even beating the likes of Jiren who managed to defeat me. Afterward, I continued my work, and many more contracts came in from the 12 documents granted to me by Vados. I continued my martial arts training and Timeskip improvement to face the most powerful opponents once again. Now about the targets. Governor Suteki from Planet Gryll was assassinated not long ago, he was the same as any other politician. The first one to start working hard, the next thing you know, he would sacrifice anything to keep his position. Corruption will hit us sooner or later depending on how much you want to sacrifice for it. The same old usual stuff they ask 'Hit, The Infallible' to handle. My current destination is Planet Imecka in Universe 7, the target is the leader of Planet Imecka, Don Kee. My ship is now going towards the 7th universe, let's find out how this will play out. Hit's log, end."
Hit recorded his video log in his spaceship.
"Sir, just so you know, your contract for Governor Suteki just transferred the money he owed you to your bank account," Manu explained.
"Good Manu, scratch him off my list of assassination targets," Hit told his computer.
"Right away sir," Manu replied
Universe 6, Planet Sunakku
In a very far distance of the North Quadrant of Universe 6, there was a planet named: Sunakku. The planet was a peaceful society, the citizens never fought each other, they were too passive for that. There were arguments, but never too serious. The government was understanding of its citizens. The inhabitants of Planet Sunakku were very similar to the humans on Planet Earth, two genders, men and women with different types of colored skin. Though their technology is much more advanced, almost every citizen had special body gear to protect them if they were to ever be attacked by invaders.
On this planet, a white-colored Sunakkan male walked through the streets with flowers in his hand. The man had one special headgear, protecting the side of his head and his ears, but exposing his blond hairdo with a bang in the front of his forehead. Walking back home, he saw his house in the distance. In front of the house, was a small grass garden. In that garden was someone watering and taking care of the plants. It was a woman wearing a yellow hat while she didn't notice the man was back. He approached his own home.
"Sasine, I am home!" the man shouted.
The woman heard the man calling her out. The woman took her garden hat off and revealed herself. It was a beautiful lady with long white hair, a stunning slim figure, and a smile on her face, brightening everyone's day while she was working in her garden. She happily greeted the man.
"Chippusu, welcome home!" Sasine said happily.
The man kissed the woman on her lips and gave her the pink roses to his lovely wife.
"For me? Thanks, honey. They are beautiful!" Sasine said happily as she smelled the flowers.
"I was going home earlier, so I thought, let me give you a present and you once told me you loved roses the most so..." Chippusu asked.
"Of course I love them, they will fit right in. I'll put them in the living room, come on, let's go inside," Sasine told Chippusu.
The two walked into their beautiful home. Sasine filled a vase with water and puts the roses inside the vase in the middle of the table. Sasine then approached her husband sitting on the couch next to him.
"So, how was work?" Sasine asked.
"Same old stuff, it wasn't such an exciting day. We didn't get many customers, so after I finished my errands, I asked if I could take the rest of the day off, that's why I came home earlier," Chippusu explained as he then continued. "And what about you?" he asked.
Sasine's smile disappeared from her face as she stood up in a worried manner. Crossing her arms, she then looked at her husband. "I have had the same problems in the morning when you left, again," Sasine explained.
Chippusu looked worriedly at his wife and stood up, touching her shoulder. "Sasine did you..." Chippusu asked when suddenly, Sasine vanished into thin air and reappeared behind her husband.
Her husband shockingly looked behind as he saw his wife. "You know? I will never get used to you just disappearing and reappearing again," Chippusu said.
"This keeps happening at random again and again. I don't know what's causing me to vanish and appear at different places, and the treatments from the doctor don't seem to work at all," Sasine explained.
"Maybe it's time to find the main cause of this. You have had these problems for 4 months now, and the doctor told us that it would be over in 2 months if you used his medication," Chippusu asked Sasine.
"It didn't work at all, what else can we do?" Sasine asked worriedly.
"Sasine..." Chippusu said when he grabbed both her shoulder and stared her in her eyes. "I need you to tell me about your past, maybe it is some type of... trauma or accident that you keep appearing and reappearing in existence! You need to tell me everything you know! You need to remember Sasine!" Chippusu demanded strictly.
Sasine pushed both her husband's hands off of her shoulders, as it was noted a long time ago, that Sasine was pretty strong. Sasine turned around with her arms around her upper body.
"Chippusu, I already told you a million times! I don't know anything about my past, every time I try to think about it, my mind goes completely blank! I don't know where I came from, I don't know if I am just like you a Sunakkan. I don't even know how old I am or if my name is Sasine anymore! I might be called... Nutasu! Or anything like that! Who am I!?" Sasine said angrily.
"I know... I know it is hard for you. I hoped it would have been over by now. The doctor said that amnesia can either take some weeks. However, depending on how bad the damage you sustained, you could never get your memory back. I never stopped believing that you would finally figure out your true origin!" Chippusu explained.
"I know you meant well, it's just very frustrating for me. I just... need a clue, a sign, something about my past that can maybe trigger a reaction. It can spark a memory and I get everything back to me!" Sasine said helplessly as she walked away from her husband and entered her bedroom.
Sasine puts on different clothing, a long yellow skirt with a sleeveless black t-shirt, as she puts her hair in a ponytail. She exited her bedroom and puts her shoes on. Chippusu saw Sasine putting her shoes on and spoke up.
"Where are you going? I thought we could spend some time together, that's why I came home early," Chippusu asked curiously.
"We will Chip, but I just need to go out to think about certain stuff, don't get the wrong idea, but I just need some time for myself," Sasine said when she exited her house and closed the door.
Chippusu took a deep sigh and turns the tv on. Meanwhile, Sasine was walking outside, seeing next to her several houses in a row with their neighbors. She waved them all goodbye as she went on towards Chokoreto Village.
Universe 7, Planet Imecka
Several minutes later, Hit's spaceship finally exited hyperspace and arrived in Universe 7. His destination was Planet Imecka, and his target was their leader, Don Kee. From an anonymous source in his document, Hit received word to assassinate their leader for a vast sum of money.
In space, Hit looked outside his window and saw the planet. The ship went and landed safely in a new world. Hit stepped out of his ship and looked around the area, which was a desert with small mountains spread around and hills of sand.
"This is Planet Imecka? I expected more. I better find a city first, then find this Don Kee," Hit said when he looked around the area. "Manu, cloak yourself to be out of sight," Hit told his computer.
"Understood sir," Manu replied as the entire ship became invisible.
Hit walked away from the ship, as he was on his way towards the city further on in the distance. After walking for several minutes, Hit entered the city. He came across a marketplace and decided to hide. From the crowded streets, Hit kept himself out of sight to not be noticed by unwanted guests. Imeckians were small or tall blue, or greenish humanoids with pointy ears and ripped clothing due to them not having the money to pay for better clothing.
Hit didn't move, he only focused his pupils around and saw the civilians living in fear and poverty. The assassin then looked to his far-right side which was a bar. He walked over to the building to get a quick drink from the bar.
When he opened the door, Hit kept his composure with a frown on his face and noticed how the Imeckians were enjoying their time in the bar. One Imeckan specifically took notice of Hit and walked away, hiding for the time being. The band went on with their music as certain people were watching them play their concert. Hit walked to the bartender and sat down on a chair. The bartender approached the assassin while cleaning a glass.
"You don't look like you are from here, friend?" the Imeckian bartender asked.
"Great observation, give me something to drink, might as well be something strong," Hit asked.
"You got some cash with you, friend?" the bartender asked when he puts the glass down and leaned on the wooden bar.
Hit stayed quiet as he reached into his pocket and throws some cash on the counter. The bartender looked at the bill but then puts it back to the assassin.
"I can't accept that type of money, only money from this planet. Sorry pal," The bartender said when he continued cleaning his glass.
But then a male middle-length light-blue Imeckian next to him spoke up to the bartender.
"Put it on my bill Imaka, I'll pay for the stranger's drink, he needs an acquaintance," the male said to the barman.
He reached into his pocket and handed the money to the barman.
"Whatever you want kid, have fun together," Imaka the barman said when he left the two alone
Hit looked at the Imeckian next to him with a cold look in his expression.
"Why the generosity?" Hit asked.
"Just to show that we Imeckians are a peaceful race. But times are hard for the inhabitants, unfortunately," the stranger explained.
"I am not interested in social problems, but explain if you want to," the Assassin told him.
"Because of our leader, Don Kee. His system requires all of the civilians to pay for everything we do, from taking a shower, to even breathing. We are obligated to spend our hard-earned money solely on him so that he can hoard it all for himself," the stranger said.
From a table not far from Hit and the stranger, two people overheard their conversation and kept listening to the two, a man and a woman both took a sip of their drinks.
"Why are you telling me this, do you think my presence here has value to you?" Hit asked him as he looked straightforward again.
"Fair enough. My name is Mickian, and I have been waiting for you, Hit the Infallible," Mickian answered sneakily.
Hit turned his head to the Imeckian again as Mickian looked with narrowed eyes.
"Say my name again and you will stop breathing," Hit told him silently.
"Oh, I apologize. Please, I didn't mean to offend you, but I have heard about the greatest assassin of another universe. When I got word from an acquaintance who you were, I contacted you as soon as possible. Remember what I explained, our leader is a tyrant and the civilians are living in their dirt. He needs to go," Mickian said.
"Who is your acquaintance that told you about me?" Hit asked.
"His name is Monaka, he is my friend from Planet Wagashi and an intergalactic delivery man. He delivered my sweets, and he told me about you from the Universe 6 vs Universe 7 Tournament. So, I decided to send you a contract to fulfill. Is it true that he beat you in a fight?" Mickian asked.
"Monaka... Now I see how it is. I lost out of respect for another, now we are even," Hit answered as he looked straightforward.
The bartender came back and handed both of them their drinks.
"Here you go fellas," Imaka, the barman said when he gave them their drinks.
Mickian took a sip, Hit then followed with his glass. Mickian then looked at Hit again.
"Listen, like I was saying, you have to get rid of Don Kee and save the Imeckians from tyranny Hit, you are the people's last hope, our savior," Mickian begged him.
Hit firmly slammed his cup on the table which shocked the Imeckian as he almost fell off his bar chair.
"My job is to neutralize certain targets for a prize. I am not a hero of justice responsible for saving a race from tyranny. Once Don Kee is gone, someone else might rise to power. Who knows, he might be worse than him. Unless I get paid to 'save this planet from tyranny', don't count on my help. Imeckians need to learn to save themselves," Hit explained strictly.
From the table, two assailants heard everything Hit said and stood up, they approached the assassin and the Imeckian. The woman pointed her finger at the purple-clothed assassin.
"You, stranger, we heard you two were talking about plotting something against our leader. That is strictly forbidden and against the law!" the female assailant said.
The bar crowd all looked at the fuss as it got quiet once again between Hit and the assailants. Mickian was frightened by the two because he knew who they were, but Hit was unfazed by the two as he didn't turn around to the two.
"What did you think I was talking about?" Hit asked them.
"We heard you talking about killing Don Kee. That is without a court of law a death sentence!" the male said.
"And who might you be to sentence me to death, I would love to see you try to even touch me?" Hit said when he stood up.
Mickian hid behind Hit as the assassin stood in front of the two. The assailants introduced themselves.
"I am Gale," Gale introduced himself.
"I am Sheela," Sheela introduced herself.
"We are Don Kee's commissioners and personal agents. What is your name stranger?" Gale the male Imeckian asked as he pointed at Hit.
"My name... you said that you heard everything I talked about, so you must know my name by now," Hit said smartly.
"Don't play with us, before we show you what we are capable of. Your name stranger!" Sheela said threatening.
Gale and Sheela stood in their fighting stance, but Hit was off guard, not fazed by the two of them and their threats.
"I don't need to defend myself against you two. Before you know it, you will be down for the count," Hit said coldheartedly towards the two personal agents.
"Try it, stranger..." Sheela said when suddenly, Hit had his hands in his pocket and his trench coat started to waver.
The area got surrounded by a greenish-white tint, when it disappeared, both Gale and Sheela started to show rays of dark blue light overflowing their bodies. Both shouted from the pain and when it disappeared, fell unconscious.
Hit had his hands still in his pocket as he mugged the two commissioners down.
"This is just child's play," Hit said when he went to the door and left the bar.
The citizens in the bar were all shocked by the assassin and his abilities, which they can't even figure out. The second Hit looked at them, Gale and Sheela were out cold. Hit only stood still and Gale and Sheela just fell on the ground. Mickian looked interested and amazed at the door that Hit went through and decided to go after him.
Outside
Outside the bar, Mickian looked around and saw that it was nighttime. Hit was walking away with his hands still in his pocket. Mickian ran after him.
"Hey, wait a sec!" Mickian shouted.
"What do you want!" Hit asked annoyed.
"I just want to say that what you did there was amazing, what did you do exactly? Something dark blue with glitters appeared all over them and you didn't even move?! Was it a psychic move or a mental move on their body?" the male Imeckian asked.
"I am not obligated to tell you my secrets. I am going to find this Don Kee and end him, then you can pay me so that I can leave again," Hit explained.
"Hit please, I will lead you to Don Kee if you stay. I got food as well, plus, you are an interesting guy and I might never see you again. Don't lie, you must be pretty hungry after traveling for such a long time," Mickian asked him.
Hit the touched his stomach, which started to crumble as he thought. "I haven't eaten in a while either..." Hit thought in his mind.
He then turned around and shook yes just 1 time as he followed Mickian to his house.
"Only for food, then I am gone to fulfill my contract," Hit told him.
"Okay, fair enough," Mickian said while walking.
Don Kee's castle
In the castle of the ruler of Imecka, Don Kee was swimming in a pool of money. All the money was earned by letting the citizens pay for everything they did, which made the inhabitants of the planet live a poor life.
"Ahahaha, oh how I love all the money I earned, this is splendid!" Don Kee shouted happily and elegantly.
Then the door of his throne room opened, Gale and Sheela slowly walked in while still being sore from what happened with Hit. Don Kee saw the two standing as he looked shocked at both of them.
"Ooohhhh! Good heavens, why do you two look like that? So not stylish and out of place," Don Kee asked.
Gale stepped up to him. "Sir, there is a stranger on Planet Imecka plotting to take you down," the henchman answered.
"What! Take me down? Did you get some information on who this stranger is?" Don Kee asked scared.
"No sir, we tried to interrogate him, but this stranger is not like anyone we have ever met. This guy just looked at us, and before we knew it, we were knocked down. I think he might be a notorious assassin, sent by an unknown Imeckan," Sheela explained.
Don Kee stepped out of his money shower and put his bathrobe on. He puts his arms on his back, thinking while he walked circles.
"This is a big problem, an assassin who can knock you down with a stare, if he gets close to me, I am done for," Don Kee said worried out of his mind.
Then from a hidden door, someone walked into the room. It was a tall Imeckian with dark green skin color and black attire on. He approached Don Kee.
"What is wrong?" the tall dark green Imeckian asked.
"Oh, it's you Ledgic, Gale and Sheela just told me there is an assassin on my planet able to take down anyone with a stare, and he might come for me next!" Don Kee said scared while biting his nails.
"Is that true?" Ledgic asked when he looked at Gale and Sheela next.
He then narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms.
"If this assassin wants you dead, then I might be able to do something about it, but it still depends on my payment," Ledgic said.
"Of course the Triple payment like always as long as you get rid of that guy!" Don Kee asked him out of fear.
Ledgic turned around and walked towards Gale and Sheela. "You two, come with me, describe the stranger to me, I will have to prepare myself," he asked as they followed him.
Don Kee went to his throne and sat down, leaning on his right arm. Meanwhile, Ledgic was with the two lackeys as he puts his arms behind his back.
"Tell me, what does the assassin look like?" Ledgic asked.
"Uhm, he's a tall and light-purple guy, and uuhh..." Sheela described.
"He wears a dark purple trench coat with a yellow belt, and he keeps his hands in his pockets an awful lot," Gale described.
"I see. Let's flush him out first so that he shows his face," Ledgic said sinisterly with a grin.
He then turned around. "Gale, Sheela, take your description of him and put wanted posters of him around the whole market, that should send a message and flush him out, making sure he cannot hide," Ledgic commanded the two commissioners.
"Yes, Ledgic!" Gale and Sheela said at the same time as they left the room.
Ledgic sat down on a chair with a grin.
Mickian's House
Hit followed Mickian to his house, when they arrived, Hit looked around. The house was being held together with paper and cardboard. Hit was surprised to see Mickian's house and then thought about something.
"This is your house?" Hit asked.
"Well... yes, you see, my money mostly goes to Don Kee and I want it to stop," Mickian answered as he scratched his head.
Hit then thought to himself and realized something. "If you Imeckan live like this, how do you expect to pay for my service?" Hit asked.
His death-staring glance overshadowed Mickian as he got more and more nervous. He then puts his hands together.
"That is a funny story, see, I only planned for you to come here and kill Don Kee so that we can live like normal Imeckians again. I had the plan to get your money at first, but there was a bit of a problem and it failed," Mickian explained.
Then a gust of wind overshadowed Hit and he approached Mickian with his death stare.
"No money means no contract, which means instead of your ruler, you will suffer the consequences of not having the money you promised. Now, you are my new target." Hit threatened him.
"Wait wait, please just let me explain!" Mickian begged as Hit grabbed Mickian by his clothes with one hand and lifted him a bit.
"Speak..." Hit told him.
"Hit please, listen. My first plan to get your money failed, but I have another plan, just let me explain and you will like it, please," Mickian begged for his life.
He puts his eyebrows down and lets go of Mickian. "Continue..." Hit told him.
"Look, if you take care of Don Kee and his servants, then that means his fortune is yours. He has all the money on the planet, that is more than enough to satisfy you. Please Hit, take care of him, and his fortune will be yours, I promise," Mickian explained.
Hit mumbled a bit and focused his pupils up.
"I only require the money I was promised, which was 10 million units. You saved your life with that plan, tomorrow you will show me where the ruler lives, and I will handle everything, but if you lied about his fortune, then you will perish as well. I am an assassin known in my universe as the one who never failed to kill his targets, those are words to live by if you get involved with me." Hit said confidently in his abilities.
Hit left Mickian's house with his hands in his pocket, on his way to his spaceship.
"Hey wait, didn't you want something to eat?" Mickian asked.
"I will survive, early in the morning, you are going to lead me to Don Kee's palace, much easier than figuring it out myself," Hit said as he was walking away with his back turned to the Imeckian.
Mickian scratched his head again. Hit went back to his spaceship and waited for the morning as he puts his arms crossed, his head down and eyes closed.
Hit's Spaceship, Planet Imecka
Early in the morning, Hit stepped out of his spaceship and looked around. The sky was light green as he looked above. The assassin in the purple trench coat went back to the market to meet with Mickian. When he arrived once again, he kept himself out of sight and noticed that something had changed in the city. Hit looked around as he saw a poster hanging on the wall.
"Hmm, what's this?" Hit asked when he looked at the wall.
He saw a wanted poster hanging with his face on it. When the street was empty, Hit decided to go down and take a look. He looked interested in the poster and puts his hands out of his pocket.
"My presence here is known, I guess my hiding skills have gotten rusty, no matter. Those two boot lickers must have done that. However, for only seeing my face once, this picture is well made," Hit commended at the poster.
Mickian ran up Hit as he saw him standing, staring at a picture of himself.
"Hey, hey sorry I am late, I didn't mean to!" Mickian said while running.
Hit looked next to him and saw the Imeckian running towards him. His expression changed.
"Bring me to his palace, I will handle everything from there," Hit said confidently.
"Sure, just follow..." Mickian said.
Then someone interrupted the two from the rooftop.
"You are not going anywhere stranger!" an unknown voice spoke.
"Huh? Where did that come from?" Mickian asked when he looked around.
None of the villagers on the market said anything but Hit already spotted the assailant on the rooftop on his far right. He only focused his pupils towards him.
"Hmph... stay here" Hit mumbled to Mickian.
Ledgic was standing on the rooftop, staring Hit down, but the assassin was not intimidated at all. He was only annoyed he couldn't take down Don Kee as quickly as possible. He decided to confront the humanoid instead.
Hit vanished from the spot and reappeared on the rooftop as his purple trench coat wavered in the wind. Hit was on the same rooftop and directly confronted Ledgic.
"Who are you?" Hit asked.
"My name is Ledgic, I have heard about you from my associates, that there was an assassin, which is you. So I decided to flush you out..." Ledgic explained.
"By putting up those wanted posters of me, yes I know the old 'Wanted Poster' trick to flush me out," Hit said.
The wind started blowing around as they stared each other down again. Ledgic stood on guard.
"What is your name, you have been kept in the shadows for far too long and it is time to make yourself known," Ledgic asked.
"My name? Not that it matters anymore because soon, you won't be alive anymore... Very well, my name is Hit," Hit introduced himself.
"Hit, a rather normal name for someone like you if you ask me, especially if you are rumored to have psychic abilities," Ledgic responded.
"It does not matter if you like my name or not, it's the person behind the name that you need to fear," Hit said.
Ledgic stood in his fighting stance as it caught Hit's attention.
"Hm? Do you want to face me in combat Ledgic? Your associates must have informed you what happened to them?" Hit explained.
"Taking them out with psychic abilities isn't that impressive, especially with weaklings like them," Ledgic said.
He jumped towards Hit, who then puts his hands in his pocket and jumped back to avoid Ledgic's punch. The dark green Imeckian looked at Hit who wasn't fazed at all.
He then raised his hand straight and focused his energy towards the assassin. He shot an energy ball at Hit who raised his right arm straight forward, easily stopping his blast and redirecting it into the sky. But Ledgic was gone from sight and reappeared behind Hit. Ledgic went in with a strong punch, but the moment it was about to make contact, Hit quickly vanished from sight without Ledgic even realizing it. Hit kicked Ledgic at a vital point of his stomach which results in dark blue ray sparks appearing from behind the Imeckian bodyguard but controlled his power to not kill Ledgic just yet.
"Ooooh!" Ledgic sounded after the hit.
He jumped back and touched his stomach.
"This guy, what kind of ability does he have? Before I knew it, I got kicked, and I never even saw him move," Ledgic thought for a moment.
"Ledgic..." Hit called him out as he listened. "I am not an opponent who you can beat, not only am I stronger than you, but more skilled as well. My experience surpasses yours by a long shot," he explained.
"Experience, we will see," Ledgic said as he rushed the assassin.
Ledgic rushed Hit down with thousands of punch and kick combos, Hit was still unfazed by him, dodging and avoiding the attacks like it was nothing. The moment Hit saw a chance, the area got surrounded by a light greenish tint again, as Hit skipped time for 0.1 seconds and hit Ledgic's vital points on his neck, his arms, his legs, and even right in his face, again keeping him alive for the time being.
"Daarrggghhh!" Ledgic said as he got blown back by Hit's amazing prowess.
Ledgic was down, touching the vital points Hit focused on. He then looked up and saw that right in front of him, Hit was standing with an arrogant look on his face.
"No matter how many times you try, the results will stay the same. If I wanted to, I could have killed you the minute I saw you, Ledgic, but as long as you don't force my hand further, you are not my target. If you keep getting hit on your vital points, you will eventually die. Now, do you realize the error of your means to challenge me, it is useless. In over the 1000 years I exist, there have only been 3 people strong enough to match my strength and skill, and you are nowhere near their potential," Hit said.
"This can't be, he's too powerful, and yet Gale and Sheela's description of him is wrong, it is not a psychic ability, but something else. I have to retreat and plan my next move," Ledgic thought once again.
Ledgic jumped back and flew off, Hit let him go as he only narrowed his eyes. Het then jumped off the building and back to the market where he met with Mickian.
"Hit, was that Ledgic you were fighting with?" Mickian asked.
"Yes, someone you know?" Hit asked.
"He is Don Kee's top bodyguard and the strongest being on the planet. No one who ever faced Ledgic in a 1 on 1 battle survived. I should have told you..." Mickian said as Hit raised his right hand and interrupted him.
"You didn't need to tell me anything about him, I was solely testing Ledgic's power, and as I expected, he is just like my past assassination contracts..." Hit explained.
"What do you mean?" Mickian asked.
"Thinking he is the strongest on a planet but in reality, just another weakling jobber. I just want to get paid fast and leave this planet," Hit said as he then looked at Mickian.
"Sure, just follow me," Mickian said as he went on his way, Hit followed.
Ledgic's training room in the castle
Inside Don Kee's castle, Ledgic was in his training room, thinking about the short sparring match he had with Hit. He tried to figure out what Hit's special technique was which gave him an edge in battle.
"That technique... it's not a psychic move, but not physical either," Ledgic said as he puts his arms crossed. "Somehow he was able to move before I could even do anything, his movement is just like the Speed of Light," he thought.
He then stood up. "Until I know his secret, I have to take drastic measures, that Hit is not someone to take lightly. He will be here shortly and when I face him again, I will find out his secrets." Ledgic said when he left the room.
Outside the castle
Hit and Mickian arrived at Don Kee's huge castle. In front of the castle were 4 guards lined up as they were holding spears in their right hand. Mickian and Hit stood still in front of the building as the guards pointed their spears at them.
"I don't think you need me anymore, you can handle it yourself. Good luck Hit," Mickian said quickly as he ran away.
Hit saw him leave and then looked straight at the guards again. "Now then, it's time to get to work," he said as he walked over to the guards.
"Hold it, no one gets into Don Kee's castle unannounced," the guard shouted at Hit.
Hit stood in his Time Skip Stance.
"Charge!" the guards shouted as they attacked Hit.
"This won't take long, 0.1 seconds is all I need," Hit said.
Once again, the guards were frozen in the Time Leap while Hit was still able to move. One by one, Hit directly targeted their vital points, one guard was hit in his neck, the other guard in the chest, the other in the stomach, and the last guard in the head.
When the Time Skip cleared up, the four guards fell on the ground as it showed their vital points directly hit and knocked them out cold. Hit looked at the guards and then continued walking to the inside of the castle.
Once inside the castle, Hit arrived in the main hall, more guards were waiting for him. It was an army of guards, completely outnumbering the greatest assassin of Universe 6. Yet still, the numbers didn't matter to Hit at all.
"More of the same..." Hit said.
"Everyone, attack!" the guard shouted as they ran up to the assassin again.
"Too bad..." Hit said when he prepared for battle.
Hit once again activated his Time Skip and hit all of the guards in their vital points, and when the technique ended, the guards fell on the ground.
"It's the simple things in life, really," Hit said as he continued his search for the Imeckian leader.
The Throne Room
Meanwhile, in the throne room, Don Kee was scared out of his mind, knowing there is an assassin right there in his castle out to kill him. His only hope was his one bodyguard, Ledgic who hasn't shown up yet.
"Oh no, what am I supposed to do, if Ledgic goes down I am pretty much done for! Please Ledgic, come quickly!" Don Kee begged.
Gale and Sheela appeared from a hidden entrance and approached the ruler of Imecka.
"Where have you guys been! That assassin is right here in my castle!" Don Kee shouted angered at him.
"Sorry sir, we just wanted to tell you that Ledgic found a way to defeat the assassin," Sheela said.
Ledgic walked in from the entrance while wearing the strongest armor on the planet.
"That assassin has a secret technique that gives him an edge in battle, making him move faster than his opponents, so wearing this armor gives me the time to figure him out, and when I do, I will finish him off myself," Ledgic explained.
"Thank goodness for you Ledgic, if this works, I will quadruple your payment!" Don Kee said happily.
Then the door got blasted open, Hit was right there at the entrance as he looked around the room. Don Kee, Gale, and Sheela all looked shocked to see Hit, especially Don Kee who met the assassin for the first time.
"This must be the place..." Hit said as he looked straightforward and saw Don Kee sitting on his throne. "You must be Don Kee, I have been looking for you," he said.
"Ledgic, don't just stand there, get him!" Don Kee shouted.
Ledgic mugged at the Imeckian leader as he got nervous. "Uuhh... please... Ledgic?" he begged.
The tall Imeckian then walked over to Hit once again for their second match. Hit was not interested in fighting Ledgic again after scaling his power.
"Ledgic... get lost, I don't have any business with you anymore," Hit said harshly.
"Not so fast Hit, I took some repercussions for our next meeting, this time, you won't hurt me. I am wearing the strongest metal on Imecka, and you can never penetrate it!" Ledgic said confidently.
Hit sights out of boredom, Ledgic was getting nervous because Hit wasn't at all.
"What's so funny, you can't hit me anymore!" Ledgic shouted.
Gale and Sheela kept looking at the tension between the two fighters. Hit shook his head and then spoke up.
"Ledgic, wearing armor only shows your weakness, it is shameful," Hit said.
"What!" Ledgic shouted.
Hit then raised his hand and clenched his fist. He then shot an invisible energy beam straight through Ledgic's armor, damaging the powerful Imeckan greatly by hitting his vital point at the same time.
"Daaahh!" Ledgic shouted from the pain as he crouched on his knees from the pain
Then, Hit released his fist and went back to his original pose. Ledgic couldn't believe nor could he understand what he had just done.
"What did you do, tell me!" Ledgic shouted.
Gale, Sheela, and even Don Kee were shocked and scared to see the results. Ledgic looked behind him as his leader and the two commissioners.
"I used a technique where my energy travels through everything it comes in contact with and hits the vital point of the person I am aiming at. Wearing armor does not matter to me, I will get through to you whether you like it or not, and there is nothing you can do about it," Hit said.
Ledgic started to drip sweat, looking at Hit with a beaten expression. His fighting stance disappeared, it was like he had given up on even fighting Hit, he knew there was nothing he could do and that this would be his end.
"This can't be, you are just too strong, I give up, I can't fight someone like you," Ledgic said as he crouched down on the ground, surrendering.
Hit walked over to the beaten Imeckian warrior.
"Hit just... tell me... what is your technique, I have never seen anything like that," Ledgic asked him.
"Hmmm... very well. The technique I used is called Time Skip. I can skip 0.1 seconds forward in time and hit my opponents their vital points, that is just one of the many lethal techniques I am capable of," Hit explained.
"Time Skip, I see... you move forward in Time for a surprise hit. Now you are off guard so that means you can get hit!" Ledgic said.
Ledgic quickly reached to his side and grabbed his sword, trying to stab Hit as a last resort. But Hit destroyed his sword rather easily with a punch and grabbed Ledgic by the neck, holding him in mid-air with one hand.
"Darragh! Aarrgh..." Ledgic shouted
"Those were your last words... You should have taken your chance and chosen better ones to end it. Now you will see one of my second techniques," Hit said.
He raised his right hand as his fingers were glowing purple.
"The 5 Points Technique," Hit said as he started his attack.
First Hit aimed his pinky finger at Ledgic's stomach, piercing it, then used his ring finger to destroy his liver, his middle finger and index to destroy his two lungs, and lastly his thumb to pierce his heart. Ledgic's vital organs have been pierced brutally by the Assassin.
Ledgic didn't move anymore as he slowly closed his eyes while blood was dripping from his mouth. Hit let go of his body as he fell dead on the ground, it was finally the end of Ledgic. Hit looked at his dead body and slowly turned towards Don Kee as he walked up to Don Kee.
"Please assassin, don't kill me, please! I am too young to die, why are you doing this to me!" Don Kee begged.
"Because it is my job. I am an assassin, I kill for money, and after you are dead, I will get paid," Hit said.
"You like money don't you! I am the richest man on the planet, I can pay you four times as much as your contract does. Please let me live, I beg of you," Don Kee begged for his life.
"I am getting paid a certain amount of money from my contact, I don't need more than I was promised," Hit said.
Then from the main entrance, Mickian entered.
"Don't listen to him Hit, he is a tyrant who only cares about himself," Mickian said when he approached Don Kee.
"What!" Don Kee shouted.
"I am the one who sent Hit to take you out, and it worked. It is time for you to step down!" Mickian said.
"Please, tell him to let me live! I beg of you!" Don Kee asked.
Then Hit grabbed Don's neck just as he did to Ledgic, the leader wasn't able to breathe properly anymore.
"It is time for you to meet your end," Hit said.
"Please! Please!" Don Kee begged.
Hit only raised his energy in his fist once again. He then sent a piercing strike through his heart, causing a huge dent in his chest, stopping his heart, ending Don Kee's life as the tyrant fell lifeless on the ground.
Hit and Mickian looked at the dead leader's body. While Mickian kept looking down, Hit looked at Gale and Sheela.
"You two, got anything to say?" Hit asked.
Gale and Sheela were scared out of their mind.
"No, no we won't say anything, just let us live!" Gale and Sheela begged at Hit's feet.
He shook them off his feet. "You two aren't in my interest, but I will change my mind if you attack me right now," Hit told them
"I worked out my contract, Mickian, I expect my payment in 2 days on my account," Hit demanded. "My work here is done," the assassin said as he approached Mickian for the last time.
"You said that Don Kee was a terrible ruler, but he is gone now. Imecka is now without its leader, you take over his place," he suggested.
"Me? But I..." Mickian hesitated.
"Or don't, I don't care, do whatever you want... but you have 2 days to pay me before you go on my assassination list," Hit said as he turned around and walked towards the exit of the throne room.
"Okay, I'll do it, I will be a better ruler than Don Kee ever was. Of course, the units will be sent your way, don't worry," Mickian said confidently.
Hit stopped walking and turned his head only to Gale and Sheela. "You two, serve Mickian as you did with Don Kee, or else you will join him and Ledgic in the afterlife," Hit told them.
"Yes, sir!" Gale and Sheela shouted at the assassin.
Mickian took Don Kee's place as ruler of Imecka, with Gale and Sheela next to him.
"Hit!" Mickian shouted.
Hit stopped walking, but he didn't turn around.
"Thanks for everything, I kept my deal with you, come to visit sometimes," Mickian asked him.
"It was just business Mickian, don't take anything personally with me, I am not your friend," Hit said.
Hit left the castle as Mickian was left to rule Imecka. The assassin went back to his spaceship. After a couple of minutes of flying, Hit arrived at the ship and stepped in. He started the ship up as he rose in the sky, the pod departed off the planet.
Hit's Spaceship
Hit was seen sitting in his ship and he restarted his personal computer once again. Manu spoke up to the Assassin once again.
"And, how did it go sir?" Manu asked.
"Target eliminated, watch for my account to see if my payment arrives. Who is my next target Manu?" Hit asked.
"You sure you want to go on your next mission already? Why don't you take a break for now?" Manu asked.
"I will take a break after I know my next target," Hit said.
"Very well sir, I got an interesting target for you, something you have never faced before. A Magician," Manu explained.
"Continue..." Hit said when he puts his hand on his chin.
"The target's name is Necros, a Necromancer from Universe 11 and on the side, a very powerful and ancient magician as well. Are you up to it, sir? Knowing your history with their Universe strongest warrior?" the computer asked politely as it showed a picture and some intel on Hit's next target from Universe 11, Necros.
Hit heard the computer but kept composure. "Universe 11, this will be a tough one, as it is Jiren's universe. The moment I enter, they might know I am there and will pursue me..." Hit said as he puts his hand on his chin, thinking about his next target. "This will be good for my training, I have been reckless on Planet Imecka. Manu, I accept the contract. Bring me to Universe 11 and start-up my log," Hit told the computer.
"Of course sir, right away. From Universe 6 to Universe 11, we will arrive in roughly 30 minutes if I hurry. You can start your log now Master Hit," Manu told the assassin.
Hit said back in his chair and crossed his arms with a frown on his face, only thinking to himself.
Narration from Hit:
Hit's Log. Contract: Don Kee, Ruler of Imecka. Status: Deceased. As I said, my jobs were mostly the same, kill someone because they are a pest to another person or in Imecka's case, the whole planet. The same old story, now that Mickian took Don Kee's place, it would only be a matter of time before he becomes even worse than Don Kee. Maybe then... I would have to kill him as well, but we will see. My assignments and reputation kept proceeding me in Universe 6, and now it will in Universe 7. Expanding my range from different universes is what I planned for a long time. Being from Universe 6, it got a bit too one-sided. Now I am on to capture my chosen target from the document. My next target is called: Necros. According to the limited intel I received, Necros is an ancient magician able to use Necromancy, reviving the dead almost perfectly the way when they were alive, either that or as half-dead zombies to keep them obedient. However, this journey will be a tough one, because it appears Necros is a citizen of Universe 11, Jiren, and the Pride Trooper's Universe. This could get interesting, we will see how it plays out. I am well prepared, still, Jiren will become a huge problem on the road, but I am not a coward to avoid him like that so I will have to use everything at my disposal to not fall into their clutches until I am prepared for battle. This will be my journey to Universe 11.
Hit's log End
Universe 6, Chokoreto Village
Once arrived in the village, Sasine walked in between the crowd. While she was walking, she kept walking right through the people in the crowd. Sasine noticing that she became intangible sighs deeply, not knowing what is causing this new ability or how to make her stop doing what she is doing.
Exiting the huge crowd of people in the village, Sasine arrived at the local park and entered. She saw an old lady sitting on a bench, feeding the birds as she sat next to her. She knew the lady all too well.
"Hello Mrs. Fondue, lovely day, isn't it?" Sasine asked.
The old lady looked at Sasine and smiled. "Oh, Sasine my dear, how lovely for you to join me on this beautiful day. How are you, child?" Mrs. Fondue asked happily.
"Not so good, I am having the same trouble again, this time, I went through other people like a ghost," Sasine explained.
"Oh, right, your husband told me about those weird things happening to you. I am very sorry about your condition child, but try to make the best of it. You are a very special woman, I knew that ever since the day I met you. Chippusu is happy with you in his life, such a sweetheart," Mrs. Fondue explained.
Sasine smiled at the old lady. "Thank you very much Mrs. Fondue, I do appreciate Chip, but I needed to get out for a second. What if the things I do can hurt him? This whole situation is worrying me," Sasine asked.
"You won't, you are too pure-hearted to hurt anyone, and I know you would never kill anyone," Mrs. Fondue told her sincerely.
"Right now, I am not very sure about it anymore," Sasine tried to explain.
Suddenly, she started to hear a very loud noise coming from an unknown place. Then, coming from the far right side, a young boy was walking his paper route as she shouted the latest news for Planet Sunakku.
"Extra Extra, major news that you never want to miss out on!" The paperboy shouted when he ran up to the old lady and Sasine.
The paperboy stopped in front of the two and showed them his special issue of Sunakku Paper.
"Ladies, you will never believe what just happened! According to the King of Sunakku, he received word that the Gods spoke to him about something incredible! Here, read it, it's all in this paper!" the paperboy told them excitedly when he handed Sasine a newspaper.
"The Gods? What is he talking about?" Sasine asked.
"Read the newspaper, maybe there is some useful information in it," Mrs. Fondue told her.
The paperboy ran away to hand out more of the newspaper. Meanwhile, Sasine read what the paperboy was so excited about. When she read the front, it said something remarkable.
"Erased but still alive?" Sasine said.
"What does that mean child?" the old lady asked.
Sasine opened the newspaper and read the article out loud. "Several weeks ago, the Gods organized a secret Multiversal Martial Arts Tournaments for 8 of the 12 universes to participate? The losers of the tournament would be erased together with their entire universe?!" Sasine read as she commented. "What?! There was a tournament that decided our fate! How can this be?!" she asked.
"That's not very good, erased? That would not be good," the old lady said worriedly.
"I'll continue..." Sasine said as she read: "The Tournament of Power as it is called, was a fighting tournament where 10 of the strongest fighters of the 8 chosen universes. Universe 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11 all participated in their best efforts to fight for survival. More information on the Tournament of Power will be broadcasted today at midnight tonight for everyone to witness some of the most intense battles of the era. Tune in for the Tournament of Power," Sasine explained.
"Oh, so it is only a game show? I was worried for a second haha," Mrs. Fomdue said.
Sasine was watching the article in the newspaper and saw the specific picture of the Tournament of Power. With several fighters on the front page, one fighter stood out only for her. Sasine kept watching closely and noticed that there was a man in a purple trenchcoat with his arms crossed. She kept watching that specific man.
"Hmmm... somehow this man... is..." Sasine mumbled as she stared him down.
As she blank-stared the man in the purple trenchcoat down, Sasine was starting to fall in some type of trans, but then suddenly, she shook her head and quickly stood up from the bench, acting as nothing had just happened.
"Wow, the Tournament of Power! That sounds interesting, then again, universes were erased, but I am still alive, either this universe was left out of the tournament or we won the tournament, or else I wouldn't be alive right now," Sasine said as she looked at the picture with several fighters on the cover of the Tournament of Power. "Hmh, that guy in the red and black spandex looks powerful, I bet that he won the tournament, and the guy in the blue spandex and white armor looks powerful as well, I guess the one in the orange is the weakest on the picture, he looks too goofy to be strong, must be a jobber. Then there is... that guy with the purple trenchcoat... why does he... look... Alright, whatever, hopefully, they can give us a great show," Sasine said excitedly as she prepared herself to leave. "Mrs. Fondue, I have to go home, this is something I want to tell my husband!" Sasine said excitedly.
"Of course child, have fun," Mrs. Fondue said as she stayed behind.
Meanwhile, Sasine went back home to tell Chippusu about the Tournament of Power which would start in only a couple of hours, getting broadcasted in every universe and on every channel for the people that have missed the entire Tournament.
