"Kagutsuchi!" Yue called out.
"That's him, before Ta-Kun's father killed him." Setsuna said, with a stunned expression.
Both of them could only watch as Kagutsuchi twist the lance in her wound, with a sadistic grin.
"I can't believe Nii-San didn't tell me about his little family." Kagutsuchi stated.
"T-Ta-Chan…take….them and…run." Chidori commanded, but she fell unconscious.
Takeo looked at his mother's unconscious body frozen in place, Kagutsuchi walked towards the three babies with black flames gathered around his hand.
"I'll start with these three first, I really never cared for children any…" Kagutsuchi stated.
But was stopped as a stone was thrown at the back of his head. He turned around and saw Takeo with another stone in his hand.
"Stay away from my little brothers and sister, you bastard!" Takeo demanded with a slight glare.
Kagutsuchi sighed at his demand and started scratching his head.
"That's something else I don't like…" Kagutsuchi stated.
In seconds he appeared in front of Takeo and kicked him hard in his stomach, Takeo coughed up blood as he was sent flying backwards. Both Yue and Setsuna was mortified by what they saw.
"…I despise, little brat who know they can't do anything to stop me." Kagutsuchi stated, as he placed his foot on Takeo's head.
"Stay…away, from…them…" Takeo demanded, as he glared at him.
Kagutsuchi kicked Takeo into the air and fired off a barrage of black flamed projectiles, one of pierced through Takeo's right side.
"Th-This is horrible…Takeo-San, never did anything to…" Yue stated, with tear falling from her eyes.
"…why is he?" Setsuna asked, with a mortified expression.
Takeo lied on the ground covered with injuries while Kagutsuchi stood over him with his foot on his face. Takeo turned his eyes and continued glaring at him with great hatred.
"Those eyes, what do you think you can do against me?" Kagutsuchi asked.
He held his hand out and started gathering a large mass of black flames over his hand. As he was preparing to land his final blow, the skies started turning darker and darker with lightning dancing through the skies.
"This is it, you damned brat!" Kagutsuchi declared.
"Stop it!" Setsuna/Yue demanded.
A bolt of lightning struck the ground behind them, within seconds they very last flash passed by them. Kagutsuchi turned around and was kicked hard in the stomach by an obscured image, that attack sent him flying backwards.
As he was being sent flying, he looked and saw fist surrounded in lightning. Without time to react nor make a single sound, he was punched hard in his face. Kagutsuchi was later struck by a large bolt of electricity.
"Is that…?" Setsuna asked.
"…it has to be." Yue answered.
"Rugitus Tonitrui Venerit et Exstinguere. Heed the Contract and Serve under me, O Gods of Thunder and Storms. No Spirit nor Immortal are permitted to live once the Slayer of the Divine is released onto this world. Surround my fist and bring forth a massive calamity, God Slaying Lance: Heavenward Lance."
A massive bolt of white lightning started gathered around his hand, until it formed into a modified Halberd.
"I warned you once, what would happened if you laid a hand on them." The man stated.
"Why must we protect humans?! Why do we have to protect a weak people?! And why do you care so much about this weak family?!" Kagutsuchi asked loudly.
The man flung the lance at Kagutsuchi, it pierced through his body and it started sending him flying towards the sky.
"Try dying again." The man answered.
With a snap of his finger the lightning lance blew up, releasing a large wave of lightning. The lightning completely destroyed Kagutsuchi's body. The man turned around and faced Takeo who was still lying down on the ground.
"Who is this guy?" Takeo smiled himself, as he closed his eyes out of fear.
He felt someone patting him on the head, he opened his eyes and saw the man smiling at him.
"Man, I can't believe how big you got." The man stated, with a smile. "To my knowledge you were hardly a year old."
Takeo immediately felt a surge of power running through his body, his wounds started healing themselves except for the one on his side. The man walked towards Chidori and placed her in his arms.
"I'm sorry I was late, I'm also sorry that I wasn't around more than I hoped." The man said, brushing her hair aside.
He picked her up and placed her on the bench, he turned around and saw the three sleeping babies in the carriage. He stood up and smiled at them.
"Haruki, Haruto and Nariko. I'm sorry that I won't be there to see you three grow up." The man declared, a slight tear fell on the ground. "But, I just wanted you to know. I'll always be proud to be your father."
The man wiped away his tears and walked towards Takeo again. He reached for the inside of his shirt and pulled the Lightning Dharma.
"I know it's selfish of to ask you this after everything you went through, but I need you to protect your mother and siblings in my place." The man requested, as he placed the Dharma around his neck.
The man stood up and started walking away from Takeo.
"Dad!" Takeo called out, as he started running towards him.
"Grow up to be a strong and talented young man, Takeo." The man said, with a smile on his face. "And make a lot of friends."
He started floating into the sky, just before vanishing in a flash of lightning. Leaving Takeo with tears in his eyes onto the ground.
"I can't believe Takeo-San when through this." Yue stated, with a saddened look.
"He went through tragedy after another." Setsuna added.
[Morning] [Setsuna's/Takeo's Dorm Room]
Both Yue and Setsuna woke up in their room, they looked and saw Takeo with his hands on theirs. Takeo woke and started stretching his arms, he looked and saw both Yue and Setsuna looking at him with sad tears.
"T-Ta-Kun/T-Takeo-San!" Setsuna/Yue called out, as she jumped on him.
"Waah!"
They tackled Takeo to the ground with tears in their eyes. Takeo started blushing as they started hugging him tightly.
"What happened after that?" Yue asked.
"The workers at our house found us and took us home, after that I went to Magic School and began studying magic arts. But, I only decided to stick with basics and the rest I learned through fighting." Takeo answered.
"Ta-Kun, we'll assist you with anything you need." Setsuna responded.
Takeo smiled at their comment and nodded in agreement, the three of them began getting ready for school.
[Kansai Magic Association; Magic Vault]
Standing there was three guards wielding magic staves. Walking through the door, was a clocked teenager whose hoodie completely covered his face.
"Who're you?!" One of the guards asked.
All the guards point their staves at the ten and prepared to fire off their attack, until they were consumed in orange-red flames. He walked past them, once the teen's robe touched it the robe started burning away to nothing.
Once it was completely burned away, the teen had blonde hair, red eyes and wearing a martial arts themed clothing. He walked inside and picked up a small bottle, the teen picked it up and walked leisurely outside of the vault.
But he stopped and saw a small gourd, the teen picked it up and resumed walking outside. Once he stepped outside he was surrounded by several guards, standing in front of them was Eishin with a sword in his hand. The teen looked at them with an uncaring attitude.
"Are you sure you should be attempting to fight, Shinmei-Ryu Swordsmen?" The teen asked, with a slight smirk. "You're not nearly as power, as you were during that War."
"Who are you?" Eishin asked, with a surprised expression.
The teen held up his finger up and gathered flames around his hand, with a single motion of his hand he created a large firestorm. The firestorm started spreading towards them, with a single slash of his sword Eishin blew away the flames.
The looked and saw the teen flying away from them, he looked back and smirked at them.
"My name is Nova Averruncus." Nova answered, as he flew away.
"I have to contact my Father-in-Law, if he took what I think he did. Then Negi-Kun, Takeo-Kun and even the others are in trouble." Eishin stated.
[Mahora Academy] [Class 3-A]
Takeo was looked as Negi was stumbling around class, with his face was slightly weakened and worn out. Takeo started laughing at the expression on Negi's face, until something in his pocket started buzzing.
"Seriously now?" Takeo asked himself. "What?"
Everyone turned around with a slightly look of curiosity, as he was talking on the phone.
