Strength and Vengeance
Chapter 2 Bloodbathed Origin Part 2
As Hayate looked on in fear a sudden shriek befell his ears.
"HAYATE!!"
"Mother?"
"Please run! Get out of here!!"
Hayate looked up and saw the horsemen standing right above him. The man was armored with azure armor. His eyes were like a portal to the underworld. His hair, if you could call it hair,
was flowing like a purple flame. A deformed and large claw replaced his right arm and his voice was like hearing an oni. He held a large sword, larger than anything else young Hayate had ever seen. The sword seemed to have some sort of eye in it. Large and bulging, it radiated an evil aura that would drive any man falling to the ground cowering for mercy. A pure demonic entity.
The horseman then spoke.
"AHAHAHA, finally...who knew you lowly peasants held one of the Soul Edge fragments. The very fact escapes me."
As the horseman and his minions encircled Hayate, his mother and grandmother, all swords were unsheathed and pointing at the three. With each advancing step, death seemed closer for young Hayate. The horsemen's minions quickly killed Hayate's mother and grandmother.
"Mother...Baa-chan?" Hayate froze himself. Focusing on the two loved ones that he held so dear and near in his life. He knelt down, sobbing and whaling on the ground.
"Haha, my liege, he is asking for death. Shall I kill him?"
The horseman scoffed and nodded.
The minion's pike fell down about to hit Hayate. However, Hayate rolled out of the way to grab a sickle on the floor. With his clear opportunity, he stabbed the minion. Others quickly attacked at once. Hayate, now flooded with adrenaline and pure rage knocked everyone back. But his strength soon depleted as he came back to his senses. He realized what he had done, he stared up into the horseman's eyes...and saw a vision...a vision of his father's death at his hands. Hayate then dropped the sickle and bolted from the scene as the horseman and his minion's laugh away unbeknownst of Hayate swearing vengeance against all of them for the death of his entire family. Then two single words repeated in his mind...over and over.
"Soul Edge."
