And the action officially begins!
It's Time!
During that early morning, the Bushido-Akio clan along with the Crimson Moon wolves, the Yashida family, Akashi, Miyo, Marceline, Akami, Kira and Takamoto were getting ready to confront Kuzan and all of them came in well-prepared with weapons and everything else too and Max brought in Marcus, Mason, Seto and Kaiba to go along for the trip as well while Saori, Sonya, Seto's fiancee, Marcus' crush and the youngest siblings stay behind for their safety. After several kisses from the older ones, they made their way out and Saori looked at Max and said, "Be careful."
"I will. I promise." Max said, looking into her eyes.
He then rubs her belly slowly to keep their unborn child safe and kisses it too before setting off with the others and Lei said, "Where's Yuki?"
"Yuki's staying at our house for safety. Suko's staying there to make sure no one takes her away while Ikuto's with us." Lei answered.
Even when Ikuto's ready for a fierce battle, he's worried for Yuki's safety and he's gonna do whatever it takes to make sure that she's safe and if Kuzan or someone that works for him tries to harm her, he knows that he'll have to rely on his instincts to defend her and rescue her at all costs. Alongside the other Crimson members, he's ready and willing to do above and beyond for his future mate.
"Are you ready for this, Ikuto?" asked Akashi.
Ikuto looked up at Akashi with a very serious and determined face and replied, "Very ready and willing to put my life on the line for your niece."
Akashi was deeply impressed with Ikuto's answer and he looks like he's ready for it and he leads everyone to find wherever Kuzan or his armies could be and with everything on the line, it's now or never as they march forward and this was gonna be the hugest battle of their lives, but it's one that will be the most fufilled. For Max, he's gonna do anything in his power to make sure his daughter is out of harm's way and if anyone dares to disregard that, he's gonna give them something they'll be sorry for.
As they made their way over, they were totally unaware that half of Kuzan's army is watching them from a further distance and even they can tell that they're on their way to his hideout and in a quick pace of ultimate panic, they were definitely gonna bring the battle to them.
Meanwhile, Akashi has a little bit of a feeling that something's gonna happen at the Yashida house at any minute, but didn't to bring in any further panic yet.
At the Yashida house
Yuki was laying down on Ikuto's bed, trying to rest up and she could tell that something's gonna happen soon and she looks over at the window and only sees the sun go up and she felt a little bit of anxiety, but a little bit hopeful that Ikuto and the rest of the crew will handle him and make sure that Kuzan will never harm her or another girl again.
However, there is a level of uncertainty in her that she's worried about Ikuto and hopes that he'll be okay through it all because she can't imagine the rest of her life without him and if she needed comforting from Ikuto, she could use it right now. Although being in Ikuto's room helped a little, she still really feels a little nervous.
"Yuki?"
Yuki turns around and sees only Suko coming in the room and she said, "Hi, Suko."
"You okay?" asked Suko.
Yuki sighed heavily and looked at him for a quick second and said, "I think so. But I'm so scared about what will happen next. Kuzan's pretty much unstoppable."
"Hey, don't worry about it. I'll make sure that he doesn't get anywhere near you. Besides, he won't know even know what hit him when I get ahold of him. He may be unstoppable as you say, but so am I." Suko said.
It gave her a little bit of confidence that Suko will take care of Kuzan and teach him a thing or two about messing with her and he walks off with a comforting smile on his face and a few minutes after he went downstairs, he notices the front door was open and that seemed very suspicious to him because it's already closed. But just as he's about to close the door, he was face-to-face with Kuzan for the first time and Suko said, "Well, we finally meet."
"I don't need your informal introduction. Where is Yuki? I know she's here." Kuzan said, growling.
"Listen, she's not here right now. I suggest you'd leave." Suko said, snarling dangerously.
Kuzan was not convinced with that answer and he said, "You're lying. I know she's here. I can sense it!"
"You're not gonna find her here. I can tell you that right now." Suko replied, holding out his sword.
Kuzan turned around and noticed Suko's carrying a sword for battle and Kuzan lets out a sinister smirk and said, "This could end easily."
Kuzan brought out his chains and swiped Suko in the face with it to knock him out, but Suko got back on his feet very quickly and garbbed the chains and whopped him in the face back and in the head harder and he flipped Kuzan and slammed him down to the floor and punched him down. Kuzan got knocked down, but he was not giving up.
Kuzan went forward, grabbed Suko by the hand and threw him down the ground hard and left him there to go upstairs to find Yuki and he went through room to room, kicking down every door to find her and she was not in any of them and it was only when he walked past Ikuto's room that he found her.
Yuki looked up and saw Kuzan standing there and she was frightened as heck that she came face to face with him again and he's holding onto some chains to trap her and Yuki backed away from him and Kuzan said, "There's no escape now. You'll get what you rightfully deserve what's coming to you."
"You need to leave me alone now!" Yuki exclaimed.
"Never! And I'm gonna make sure that you don't make it out alive this time!" Kuzan shouted.
Yuki tires to run out of the room, but Kuzan immediately grabs her and Yuki starts screaming wildly and flailing her arms to get her out of his clutches, but Kuzan keeps preventing her from causing attention from anyone that will stop her and she drags her downstairs all while Yuki's screaming and by the time he ran out of there, Suko immediately ran after him to get Yuki out of his clutches, but Kuzan turned around and knocked him out cold with his fist.
"SUKO!" Yuki screamed.
"He should not have interfered!" Kuzan screamed back, after slapping her in the face hard.
Meanwhile, Marcus' ears perked up something from the distance and this was a huge one and he stopped for a while and figured something was wrong and Mason noticed this and asked, "Why'd you stop, Marcus?"
"It's Yuki." Marcus replied.
Just then, Ikuto heard that scream from a clear distance and it was a sound that he was terrified to hear and it was definitely Yuki's scream and he said, "Something's wrong."
"And you both are right. Kuzan might've already got her." Akashi said.
With that mindset, they immediately ran to the Yashida house to find out what's happening and by the time they got there, they saw Suko slowly getting up, feeling the pain from his face and Akashi went forward and asked, "Suko, what happened?"
Suko groans in pain as he tries to stand himself up, then realizes what happened and he said, "That Kuzan guy came over and took Yuki out of there. I tried to go after them, but then I blacked out."
Lei comes in the house and walks upstairs and sees most of Kuzan's evidence; the doors were kicked out hard and she went to Ikuto's room and sees a ying-yang symbol necklace on the front of Ikuto's bed and she can tell that it was Yuki's. Ikuto immediately went in and saw his mother holding that necklace and the many things he went through his head; fear, worry, anxiety, anger, outrage and a little bit of vengance.
"When I find this guy...he's gonna wish he messed with her." Ikuto said, growling.
"Wherever he took her, he won't get far." Lei agreed.
All of a sudden, they heard fighting sounds come out of nowhere and they raced downstairs to find out what's the cause of it and they immediately saw that everyone's fighting with Kuzan's army and Ikuto definitely has a desire to fight them off to see where he had taken Yuki and he went towards one of them and knocked him down with his chain hammer and pounded him hard and he asked, "Where's your boss?"
Yuki got kidnapped by Kuzan again! Now it's getting serious!
