Chapter 2: The Origins of Team Asylum
From where the story left off, X has just defeated the Kogarasumaru single handedly and within a few seconds, Ringo shows up to see the beaten team. As she asked what has happened, Ikki with his half conscious told her it was Team Asylum that assaulted the Kogarasumaru. And here is where the story continues:
As Ikki said "Team Asylum" Ringo could do nothing but stare into space in fear as horrible flashbacks came through her head as she looked down at the beaten Ikki. Tears started flowing from her eyes as she was stuck in a trance as Mikan, Ume, & Yayoi finally caught up to her to see the destruction that was left in result.
"Ringo! What happened?!" Mikan yelled to snap Ringo out of her trance
"Mikan-nee…it's him…he did this to Ikki."
"Who Ringo?! Who could've done this to Ikki and the others?"
Ume then stepped out as she looked and answered "It seems like the leader of Team Asylum was here and did this to Ikki-kun and the others.
"Wah?! What are you talking about Ume? Ringo took care of the leader of Team Asylum before remember?"
"If that's true Mikan-nee, then can you explain this?" Ume said as she walked to the spot where X was at before he disappeared and picked up the demented looking sticker as it was the Team Asylum sticker.
As Mikan looked at the spot where Ume was pointing at, she knew of that symbol and was almost as shocked as Ringo. But it was short lived as she heard some steps coming up to where they were. It was the security of the school as the girls all got the defeated Kogarasumaru members and disappeared from the spot and got to the hangout that was at the clock tower. A few hours later all of the members were awake and recovered.
"Hey guys...what was that black bus that hit us earlier?!" Onigiri asked
"Bus? It was more like a bullet train Onigiri…" Kazu answered
"Well while ya'll two simpletons are wondering what the hell has happend...i'll refresh all of your memories...we got defeated by a member of Team Asylum..." Agito said bluntly as he looked at Kazu & Onigiri with disgust. The two boys looked down as they wished that he didn't remind them of their recent defeat.
"So does anyone know what were gonna do bout X & whoever else of the members of Team Asylum?" Emily asked as she was being bandaged up by Yayoi
"Emily is right guys…If all of us couldn't stop one of the members…how are we gonna be able to take out their team when we battle them all together?" Kazu said sadly
"We don't even know the abilities of the other members…" Onigiri added
Ikki was getting more upset as Kazu & Onigiri was talking lower of themselves as a team as he got up and punched a wall. With that everyone paid their attention to Ikki as he said
"I wouldn't care if they were a million members like Behemoths...X....he made a mockery of the Kogarasumaru...Who the hell does he think we are?!" And within seconds Ikki was ready to go to war as he grabbed his jacket and was about to rush outside until Ringo blocks his way from the door "Ikki-kun...please stop...Your being too rational about this..."
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO REACT WHEN IT COMES TO THIS RINGO?! THAT X OR WHATEVER HIS NAME IS JUST MADE A FOOL OF ME & MY TEAM! AND YOU EXPECT ME TO LAY DOWN SILENTLY ABOUT THIS?!" Ikki yelled with rage
"No...But there's a reason why X attacked you...." Ringo said lightly
Ikki then calmed down a second as he looked down at her "What do you mean Ringo?"
As Ringo looked down at their feet and then back at his eyes with fear in her eyes as she said "I need to tell you all a story about the former sleeping forest & the former members of Team Asylum"
Ikki then stopped as he walked back to his seat as Ringo breathed out and walked to the the others & said "This is the origins of Team Asylum and how Sleeping Forest got into a battle with them:
The story with Asylum was this. They were all once normal people like all of us. Went to school, came home, did homework normal things. That was until Kaito Wanijima came into the picture and just for riding AT's, he put them into jail. But not into any regular jail, an actual Asylum.
And within this Asylum, they made every member have small traits of insanity and even though they were put in there because they were Stormriders, they learned even better techniques then they previously had. In fact some of the members even found regalia of their own that weren't like ours. And one day, all the members of the Asylum including Iori Tsunada…the original leader was let out. He & the other members tried to stay within the asylum because they felt like it was home. But the doctors wouldn't wanna keep them, especially with them getting stronger and more insane.
And what ever member did say as they were released into the outside world once again was "Don't let us out…." And of course they didn't listen and released them out in the world. In result, Team Asylum was born and entered the AT world. And within months they ranked up to the point they made it to the Gram-Slam tournament and all the way to the finals with the Sleeping Forest. And with that they all was on par with us, we couldn't find no form of weakness against them.
That was until they got tired of holding back and well…they lost it. The way they lost it as if they were possessed but instead of being possessed, they had different traits of insanity which made them want to kill us all. And with that alone half of Sleeping Forest died in that battle and so did the members of Team Asylum. The last one to die was Iori himself…I was the one who had to finish him off, otherwise I wouldn't be standing her in front of you all now.
And in result, we won the tournament…but we lost so much more because of that. Little did I know, Iori had two younger brothers who were his successors. And I believe in result this is why Team Asylum has been resurrected with new members but worse."
