It was a nice evening and Minato Sahashi was just relaxing at the Izumo Inn after going through what was to be covered on a test to get him into college. He was off from his job as a consultant for an international company. He uses his money to help out other ashikabi and their Sekirei if they need it. He also helps Miya out sometimes as well.

She adores him for help, so he is just relaxing and enjoying some time to himself. Kazehana and Uzume were out on the town, Musubi and Yume were sparring in an abandoned building, Tsukumi was out doing whatever, Kagura was on patrol, Matsu was in her room and Ku was in bed. Miya had come in and sat down with him as he was watching the stars.

"I don't know if I had thanked you for all you have done for us." She said while pouring him a cup of tea. Minato just shook his head.

"Don't worry about it," he said. "I did because it was the right thing to do. Still, don't know how I was capable of bringing back Uzume and Yume though."

"That reminds me, could you get them? Dinner will be ready in an hour."

"Sure," he said as he got up. He was in a T-shirt and jeans. He went to get his shoes on and headed out. He also took his phone to call the others.

(MBI Tower)

A psychopath was on the roof of the MBI tower overlooking the city and just enjoying himself. He was dressed in all white and had bleached white hair. "Ah, Yes!" He said with his arms spread out. "Now The Game Can Go In To The Extra Round!" A young woman was behind him. She was dressed in a suit, her arms crossed and was looking bored.

"What are you talking about Minaka?" She said she was Takami Sahashi; Minato's mother.

"#0 will be active soon and once he is, whoever gets him will gain a 'hawk' in this battle of birds." He laughed hysterically. Takami Sahashi paled.

"#0? Wait a minute, #0 is dead."

"No one had found the body though and I know for a fact he lives."

"Who Is He?"

"You know him already. Don't you Takami?" She paled even further. "That's right, it was you that found his body, nursed him back to health, de-aged him, and raised him as your own." Takami pulled out a gun and pointed it at Minaka.

"If you activate my son, I will kill you where you stand. Discipline Squad be damned! They won't get here in time. I will kill you and then myself, 'Game Master'."

"Ah, Takami my dear you are too late. He's active!" She lowered her gun and he laughed. "I knew you weren't going to do it!" Just then a bullet went through his head and he fell off the building to the street below.

'I need to find him before he turns and things go to hell.' She thought as she ran back in.

Meanwhile, Minato had gone to the industrial section of the city as he was, he got a text message.

-Players,

The game has now gone to the extra round! There is a new Sekirei activated. But this one is the most powerful one of them all. #0, he is one of you! If you find him who knows how powerful you will become! His name is Min… -

That was all there was, just then his mom called him. "Hello?"

"Thank God You're Alright Minato!" She said.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Did you get the text message about #0?"

"Yes ma'am, I just got through reading it."

"Where are you?"

"The industrial area, I was getting the others for dinner why?"

"Find them! Tell them, to protect you!"

"Mom you are scaring me. What Happened?"

"Get them and get to Izumo I'll tell you then." She hung up and he just shrugged then quickly headed out to where Musubi and Yume were fighting.

(Musubi and Yume)

The two were relaxing, drinking some water. "That was a nice spar." Said #88. Yume just smiled, and just then they heard someone.

"MUSUBI! YUME!" They perked up and looked over to see Minato. They went over and hugged him tightly. "Oh good, I found you two."

"What's wrong," said Yume.

"Miya asked me to get you for dinner."

"Alright, but why do I get the feeling that there's something else?" Said Musubi.

"I need protection, my mom just called and she told me about a new Seikirei that had been…" He said and then passed out.

"MINATO!" They said and went to him. His body started to change, he was getting bigger, buffed, and very handsome. His clothes changed as well, he was in a black T-shirt, cargo pants, boots, gloves, a flack vest, and a nose and mouth mask. (1)

About an hour later, Minato started to come too with his head on Yume's lap. "Ugh, what happened?" He said.

"You passed out and transformed." She said Musubi grabbed his hand.

"Are you alright Minato?" She said they were now on the roof of a building. He started to sit up and they had seen the wagtail symbol on the nape of his neck and gasped. "You're one of us."

"Oh no," he said. He quickly grabbed his phone and called his mom.

"Hello?" She said.

"Mom?"

"MINATO! Where Are You? Are You Alright?"

"Uh, remember you told me about #0?"

"Yeah, please don't say you found him." 'Or that you turned.'

"Um, I think I am him."

"WHAT?" 'Oh no. Not my son! Damn you, Minaka!' "Head to the inn I'm there! Go now!" She hung up and they took off. Just then they were stopped by a young man with brown hair and eyes, he was dressed like a noble and had a swordsman with him.

"So, the powerful #0." He said, "I want him! Now!" Minato got mad and got ready to fight.

"I handle this!" He said, "You must not know who the hell I am." With that, Minato jumped in mid-air and punched the swordsman in the face breaking his jaw and knocking him out. Then he grabbed the brat, "Get in my face again and I'll strip you naked, dip you honey, and hang you over an ANTHILL. You Understand Me?" The brat quickly nodded and they took off.
