Here it is…Chapter 4
I thank you all for waiting while I type this and I won't write the disclaimer because some of you won't care and others will already know.
Anyway, enjoy.
Chapter 4 part 1: Mysterious power, the Thunder Blade
Inside the large room of the mansion, the giant spider robot creeps forward as Train and Gate hold their ground until the robot swings one of its 8 legs at the boys. They each dodge the leg but immediately after, another leg comes flying in towards them which Gate narrowly dodges but hits Train on the side of his chest, sending him flying into the wall.
Gate yelled out Train's name when he saw him getting hit by the robot leg and he cursed at the two in the robot before dodging another spider leg. "Give up. You'll never win hahahahahah!!!"
Train got up while holding his side saying "I admit that hurt, but it will take more than that to keep me down." Eric laughed and said "Is that a fact? Then it looks like maybe this could improvise." He pressed some random button and a pair of cannons came out of the larger part of the robot.
Gate put on the 'what is that' look until he noticed that he saw the cannons build up heat inside the barrel and shouted out to Train "Train look out, those are flamethrowers!!"
Train yelled out "OH CRAP!!!" and the cannons launched fire there way. Train and Gate managed to dodge it but one of the flamethrowers grazes Train's left leg, causing him to roll on the ground and into the wall. Clutching the scorched leg, Train tells Gate that he won't be able to keep it up much longer if this goes on and Gate nodded at the statement.
Erik sarcastically made fun of them by saying "Oh boo hoo, whatever will you do?" the two laughed for a while as Train tried to reduce the pain from the burnt leg, Sven and Rinslet try to protect Eve and Eve still suffers from the electromagnetic pulse.
Gate begins to wonder how he managed to live through his life like this, working for Chronos, killing the ones that Chronos believes would be a threat to the global economy, becoming the number one assassin in the world, he thought about it until then, he realized that he never wanted it in the first place.
He closed his eyes to think about what happened in his past; he heard his parents were murdered by Zagine, he remembered how he got into Chronos in the first place and he questioned why his life is going like this.
A couple seconds later, his eyes burst open with really slit golden pupils that glowed like a raging fire and his sword started to glow a bright purple color, giving off some sort of electrical force.
Train, Sven and Rinslet all put on surprised looks when they saw Gate's sword radiating with some sort of energy and they ask themselves "What is he!? Where is this power coming from!? It's so strong I can feel the heat…"
The two in the cockpit ask "Heh, what's with the light show? Decided to finally entertain—" the two were cut off when they noticed 5 of the robots legs in the air and crashed into the floor. The spider robot immediately lost balance leaving Erik and William with shocked looks while Gate says "Sorry boys, but play time is over."
Chapter 4 part 2: Revealed; Gate's true nature
Erik and William try to keep the robots balance but fail miserably and the robot falls to the ground, however, they press some buttons and 8 Gatling cannons come from the side of the larger area on the robot while Erik puts on a smug look and says "I don't know how you did that but we can still use our weapons."
Gate put on a smirk and said with a deep voice "Go ahead, take your best shot."
William and Erik both say "Alright, you asked for it…" and with that, the flamethrower and all of the Gatling guns pointed at him and started endlessly firing at him and he just stood there with the same smirk on his face. Train yelled out Gate's name while Gate was being engulfed by the fire and the bullets but couldn't do anything because the burnt leg just kept bothering him.
After every bullet was fired and when the flames were exhausted, the two in the cockpit stared and laughed as they think that Gate was completely incinerated, but they yelled out "WHAT!!!?" when they saw Gate entirely unharmed, flying through the massive fire towards them at a furious speed and then Gate shot through the cockpit while thrusting his sword through Erik's chest.
Train, Sven, Rinslet and Eve stared in utter silence and astonishment when they saw the act that Gate pulled off. He stabbed Erik through the heart, jumped back and then held his sword out before William panicked and activated some sort of shield to protect him.
Eve managed to get up as she says that she feels better, Sven gets happy that Eve is alright but then asks "What are we going to do with William? As long as he is behind that metal shield, getting to him won't be easy…" Gate tells him that he has this one and he holds his sword horizontally in front of him and he says "Heartnet style sword technique, THUNDER BLADE!!!"
Having said that, a laser extends from the tip of the bastard sword and Gate swings it at the robots remains thus cutting it into smaller pieces like a whip made stronger than an average sword until William comes out with a fearful look and Gate quickly appears in front of him then knocks him out cold.
About an hour later, William is taken into custody, and the five were on a rooftop a certain distance away thinking about the action they had tonight.
Train can't help but ask "Gate, where did you learn all those moves?" Gate responded saying "All of my moves were self-taught. It took me a few years to master them all." Sven and Eve couldn't help but hear and put on the 'huh???' look until Gate then says "Come train with me sometime, you'll definitely gain from it."
The next day
Train, Sven and Eve are at their apartment having something to eat while Train says "Maybe when Gate is off-duty we can all go with him to do some training. I can hone my gun slinging and my reflexes, the princess can learn some more transformations and you, Sven, can even strengthen the power and control of your vision eye."
Sven and Eve agreed and Sven said "You know, that might not be a bad idea. But we don't know when Gate will be off-duty." Train started laughing which leads Sven to put on a confused look and Sven asked "What's so funny?" Train jokingly says "I'm laughing because you said Duty hahahaha…
Without any second thoughts, Sven punched Train in the face and said "You are such a dumbass!!!" Train put his hand over his aching cheek while saying in a saddened tone "Awww come on Sven, can't you take a joke?" Sven remains silent and just sighs.
At the Chronos base, inside a training room, Gate is practicing with a sort of Damascus blade by slicing down falling cans into pieces and stabbing flying targets. Shortly after, he takes a stack of plates and spins each one on the tip of his blade pointing upward.
Gate then tosses the plates in the air and stacks them up in to a neat stack on the side of the blade and sets them down on the table. Sephiria, who was impressed at Gate's talent, asks him "Your talent has indeed surpassed even the greatest of swordsmanship. Perhaps a test of endurance should be in order."
Gate asks "I wonder what this test is about…" Sephiria answers by saying "In this test, there will be a large ball of metal rolling your way. The challenge of the test is, the ball is made of Orichalcum and you have to find a way to destroy it. Not that it was possible before, but you can find a way to at least or at most chip the metal.
Gate puts on a determined look and says "Very well. This shouldn't be too hard." Sephiria calls Belze into the room and tells him "Belze, this you have to see. Gate is going to try to shatter the Orichalcum ball." Belze just kept on a straight face as he watched Gate in a fighting stance as Sephiria turned on a switch and a big black sphere came down and rolled towards Gate.
The sphere rolled towards Gate and Gate charged towards the sphere with Damascus blade in hand while Belze looked on and was surprised at what was on Gates sword. He thought "Is it me, or is there some sort of wind being stirred up on his sword??"
Another second later, the sphere and the Damascus blade collide, sending strong gusts of wind through the entire room and forcing Sephiria and Belze to cover themselves from the wind until the wind finally died down. Standing across from the other, the sphere was stationary and Gate stood there with his bangs over his eyes.
Numbers I and II looked on with blank stares and blinked a couple times until, the sphere cracked all over and shattered into tons of smaller pieces thus quaking the room a bit. Standing straight, Gate held his sword out sideways and his haired glowed a bright white color for a split second before fading back to the chocolate brown color.
Sephiria and Belze put on shocked looks and ask "How did you do that???" and Gate says "Let's go to the meeting room to talk.
