Sup people, it's been a while since I've dropped an update here but hey good news I've got the next two or so chapters ready to be uploaded they just need further editing and such.
Other than that I'm still surprised people haven't take up their keyboards and write more fics about Air Gear, shit man this is kinda disappointing but at the same time I can understand there isn't much you can write about Air Gear especially when it comes to writing about the sporadic movements involved with the story which would put anyone off from writing anything.
But hey you're not here to listen to me bitch and moan, so let's get to the reading shall we!?
Chapter 12 Delusion Trick
"You know me, 20 points but your reaction tells me you didn't expect me minus 5 points." Kilik exclaimed in a cold tone of voice my eyes narrowing at the older man's tone and the way he stared at me boredly. "Your tense, shows you know how unmatched you are against me, shows your wise not to underestimate your betters 10 points."
No shit I'm tense just being anywhere near you is fucking terrorfying seriously I would fucking rather deal with a suplex from Rika then be anywhere near your bleach haired ass.
"Tell me if I were to let you go what would you do?"
"Probably question why you would do that then immediately jump onto the couch because fighting you is pointless and unneeded." I spoke knowing fully well that as soon as I threw myself at Kilik he would just throw me to the ground like I was nothing.
"10 points for logic." Hearing this I suddenly felt my body finally unfreeze itself allowing me to do exactly as I said and jump onto the nearby unoccupied couch with a huff.
"What does the former gem king want with me?" I asked unsure as to why he was here.
"For a lot of reasons but two of them seemed to make this meeting very important, first being your involvement with the law enforcement, you do realize that as soon as you took the former fang king our world started to shake from the very foundation."
"So you are here for me to turn myself in before the police turn to more lethal options that will lead to people dying, I don't doubt them to do it but if you think the public is going to sit down with thinking like this well you are quite naive." I spoke not really showing how scared I was at the idea that Kaito would straight up start using real bullets, then again hes fucking insane so really its just minute of when over why.
"Good that you understand but the second one is the most important." Hearing this I sat up giving the stressed sounding man a look of confusion as he stood up from the desk.
"You must cut all your ties to Rika Naya-"
"No, fuck you." I immediately said getting up from the couch no longer deciding to listen to Kilik despite him having the absolute skills to kill me on the spot.
"You do not understand there are-"
"Well you can tell Sora that I'm not giving up on her," I spoke, making Kilik freeze on the spot from the name drop. "Yeah that's right, do you think I know nothing about the previous thorn queen and wind king's relationship, well too damn bad I know and frankly I don't care about it."
"It's a past Rika doesn't want to talk about and frankly I can absolutely understand why she doesn't want to talk about it, but by fucking god I will not stop standing by her side so take your bullshit, take your naive arrogant views, your white hair and fuck off!" I yelled my body slowly moving towards Kilik my hands subconciously tightening into fists as I had flashes of what Rika went through and how Sora Ultimately fucked her mind, no not this time not while I'm god damn fucking breathing.
"You think you can stand next to her, a king of her standing surely you must be joking she could kill you where you-"
"She wouldn't." I said stopping Kilik from trying to prove an idiotic point that made no real sence. "With the amount of time I've known Rika shes violent, monsteriously strong, fucking terrorfying but protective and sincere, she would literally kill herself in order to protect the ones she loves and if you think she'll kill me, then you are sorely mistaken." I exclaimed my mind playing back Kilik and Brainwashed Rika's conversation and decided to stop that from ever happening with every goddamn fibre of my being.
"Minus 20 you are 10 points shy of being zero and you don't-"
"Killing me is going to do nothing but put you down to Sora's level and you fucking know that." I interrupted again watching how Kilik's eye twitched, he's annoyed because he knows I'm right and knows that killing me would leave a sour taste in his mouth.
"You are lucky, hmph leave go back home Daunt will call you later about your job situation." Kilik finally said as I finally let the breath I held in when I stared into Kilik's cold eyes.
"Fine until next time then… Kilik." I exclaimed before removing myself entirely from the room making sure to close the door right behind me.
3rd POV
The blanket that covered the large DJ was slowly pulled up when he sat up and stared at the door that Hamish closed.
"Kilik what were you trying to prove right there." Daunt exclaimed looking somewhat annoyed with how the conversation went with his cook/assistant and saw how close it was turning into a full blown brawl.
"That person is not right for RIka, he has no right, his decorum is absolutely disgusting and he's arrogant." Kilik exclaimed, moving his head towards the window of the office that looked over the entire club, his eyes narrowed where Hamish casually rode through the empty dance floor.
"Kilik I wouldn't underestimate that guy, he's something else." Daunt said shaking his head at the former gem king.
"He's no king if that's what you assume." Hearing the statement Daunt shook his head at Kilik.
"I'm not making any assumptions, I know for a fact he's a king, a king of what is the problem." Daunt explained shaking his head before getting up. "I have no idea what road he takes but I know for certain that whatever it is it will shake this world to the core, more so than you or Sora could ever imagine."
"I see, well whatever road it is I have a feeling it won't be a match against my gem road." Kilik exclaimed arrogantly.
"That's not the point Kilik, but like always you ignore everyone and only listen to your own self indulgent BS." Daunt said annoyed with how Kilik ignored him and his warnings.
"I don't see what you mean but then again I don't see what any of you mean." Kilik said, narrowing his eyes as before Hamish left through the front of the club he turned around and threw up his two hands flipping the birds at Kilik. "But frankly to see Rika dating that man is just… deplorable." Aggravated was what Kilik felt when he saw Hamish's attitude towards him.
"If you want him to respect you good luck with that, the E class stormrider team skullcaders tried to demand it and they ended up with most of them beaten to a near bloody pulp." Daunt exclaimed remembering the news of how one of his employees that was assigned to tag a long behind Hamish reported it.
"I don't want his respect, I want him gone."
"Like how you wanted Sora gone?" Daunt exclaimed.
"No, unlike that time I'm willing to not show any kind of mercy." Kilik said looking over his shoulder Daunt not freezing when he saw the previous Gem king's eyes had a pair of crosses on top of them showing how dedicated hewas.
"Well you're going to have to go through me first if you want to do anything to him." Daunt exclaimed as his eyes too had a pair of crosses appear in his eyes.
Two kings stood there neither one of them moving an inch as a pair of shadows appeared over them showing a demonic beast each, a test of will power between the two, neither one giving the other an inch over the other.
Until Kilik's shadow slowly reseeded and he breathed out a sigh deciding it was not worth taking any kind of action against his former team member at the moment.
"Fine until next time Dauntless." Kilik spoke before he walked out of the office leaving Daunt by himself.
"Hamish… you really ticked off the worst person ever, didn't ya."
1st POV
When I left the club I felt angry, annoyyed and any other fucking word that meant aggravated.
Fuck I was pissed, I didn't even bother to hide myself by taking the rooftops I just planted myself on the ground and dodged through pedestriants using nearby rails as places to kick off and leap over the traffic only to land back on the footpath with sketchy landing.
Pushing myself further I kept going through the city until I found myself in a park, the same park from last night.
My breathing slightly uneven as I tried to calm down but it just got harder and harder to think of anything with fucking Kilik's voice popping up in the back of my damn head!
"To think you would go back to the scene of the crime." Hearing the sudden voice I felt myself gain a bit of whiplash when I spin my head around to face the new voice.
"Spit?" I asked, watching as the red headed flame king just grinned at me casually, his attire slightly different as he swapped out his long fur coat with a random red leather jacket.
"Is it me or do you have a thing for narcissistic red?"
30 minutes later
"Didn't think that comment would get me eating lunch with you of all people." I exclaimed sarcastically as I took a bit out of one of the random fries on my plate.
"You would be surprised how many women would kill to be where you are." Spitfire joked casually while eating his cesar salad.
The two of us sat in the back in a near deserted diner the two of us eating as I said was lunch.
"Well thank god I'm not a woman… or gay now that I think about it." I said mumbling the last part to myself but turned out Spitfire heard that as he laughed.
"Yes thank god your not gay or else Rika would be very angry." hearing that my eyes slightly widened from what he just said.
"How do you-"
"Know of Rika and you? I got my ways,I must say you surprised me with that but honestly compared to the rest of us I could see why she would choose you."
"Oh and let me guess, is it my charming good looks or was it that I'm a better lay than everyone else?" I sarcastically responded not really caring to know why. "Even if you want to tell me, don't I'd rather hear it from her."
"Not sure about that, you have really kicked up a storm."
"I heard, Kaito isn't pulling any punches is he." I said knowing how well that insane man was going on a warpath.
"No he isn't and others aren't happy with how you're the reason he's decided to take the plunge."
Taking a sip from my strawberry milkshake I took a minute to think about how bad it's turning, well at least it isn't as bad as Kyoto not yet or not if I do something about it.
"I know, Kilik gave me a visit and told me that I really fucked up." I said watching how Spitfire didn't look even a bit surprised by the new information.
"Not surprising to be honest, the rest of Japan is going to be quite shaken up with this." Spitfire said, smirking at me.
"What?" I asked, wondering what he was smirking at.
"You obviously are not the next sky king but we expected the world to change when he appeared but it appears you are doing the job for him, it's almost like you are preparing the world for his debut."
"Quite perceptive there also your kind of assuming a lot out from me." I said finding his observations a tad off, it wasn't like I was absolutely trying to change the world or anything.
"I am, aren't I?" Spitfire said grinning mischievously, my eyes picking up when he moved his hand into his jacket and pulled out a black USB stick. "In this here USB is the data collected on the local stormrider teams most likely to target you." pushing the USB to me I looked at with a raised eyebrow.
"Huh… not interested." I said pushing the USB back, not really all that interested in it.
"You know this type of infor-"
"I do and I appreciate it but unlike you guys I'm not a storm rider, I'm an AT user, a guy who doesn't get involved with your part wars or your silly tropihem BS." I said giving Spitfire my entire attention. "My opinion is that if you want to fly then fucking fly, those who cage you down are just worried scared that they would fall when they leap, I'm in the middle I want people to fly but I want people to think realistically."
"And the fact you think one person can pull you up into the sky is just some dumb BS." I couldn't stop myself from slamming my hand down on the table shaking it.
"Sorry, I guess what I'm trying to say is if your storm rider teams think they can up and take me on then fucking bring it." I summed up my thoughts watching how the smirk on Spitfire's face grew until he was grinning.
"You know you are a shock, a shock to a system that I've been ignoring, you are right we don't need a king to help us fly but for the masses to believe they can fly they must have a leader, an example, a person to follow behind." Spitfire said nodding along, I could understand that and I was kinda happy Spitfire wasn't naive to think that you needed a king at all times to fly.
"Thank you for understanding and sharing that you also understand… hey you mind doing me a favor?" I suddenly asked immediately, surprising Spitfire from the sudden subject change.
"A quick change of the subject but what is it?" Spitfire questions already intrigued what I was going to ask.
"I want you to train someone, a newbie like the kid I brought to the meeting yesterday."
"Ok sure I don't see why you would want me as a king to train a random kid though."
"Oh I think you will see why you want to train him, his names Kazu, Kazuma Mikura."
