 France - Paris 

 KnightWalker Main Aiport of Paris 

 30, Octuber 

 01:33 AM 

''After that incident at Uryuu's building, Uryuu's car finally arrived at the Knightwalker Family Main Airport of Paris. Uryuu got out of his car and looked at the airport landing strip, where he saw millions of planes being loaded with weapons and ships being loaded with humans, drones and Cyborgs troops of Uryuu's Faction, and others affiliated organizations to the KnightWalker Family. Atala walked away from the car and jumped on the roof the main airport to watch the scene. Atala, with her red eyes, watched the huge movement down below and thought nothing about that. Uryuu looked up and saw her, he decided to jump on the roof of the airport and joined Atala. Uryuu was a little happy, that was the scene would change the history of mankind because that was the battalion of Uryuu's faction that would fight in the greatest battle in history. A battle that would change the course of all life on planet Earth.''



Uryuu looked down too and started to talk.

''- Uryuu: The time has finally come. Aren't you happy? You might finally get to meet your llittle angel again, Azul Jissele.''

Atala ignored him.

"........"

''- Uryuu: Ignoring me. Hmm.''

- Atala: What do you want?

''- Uryuu: Nothing. I just wanted to know your reaction about this battle. And yes, about your feelings about your meeting with Azul Jissele, the 3rd Trigger. Fufufu.''

- Atala: If you touch on---



Uryuu interrupted Atala laughing.

''- Uryuu: Hahahaha! I know, I know. Don't get me wrong. I'm not going to hurt your "princess".''

Atala walked away.

''- Uryuu: Hmm. Where are you going?''

''Atala stopped walking but she did not turn her head to Uryuu's direction. ''

''- Atala: Our transport will be ready in 3 hours. I must go to another place before that. My last memories about "that" place.''

Uryuu opened his eyes a little in surprise.

''- Uryuu: Ooh! That place, I thought you hated that rotten "gheto". The Slum, right?''

''- Atala: I hate it... but I love it at the same time. That was the place where I met the most important people in my life. My parents abandoned me when I was 2 years old. Azul, Ellen, Smith and Jorshe; they were my only family.''

''- Uryuu: Family, heh? Hmm. Well, I don't see problem. However, I want you here in two hours.''

''Atala started to walk again and jumped off the roof. Uryuu closed his eyes and laughed.''

''- Uryuu: Haha. I have high hopes for you, Atala.''

''Uryuu looked down and saw Atala walking down there. ''

''- Uryuu: Well, if I keep her here for too long, Eckidina or Juria will find out that she is a Black Demon too. My Black Demon, the 4rd Trigger, my Trigger that I created with my very own hands. The fourth person to survive the Tech of the End experiment, Atala Arck. I have to hurry.''

 1 hour later 

 Paris 

 The KnightWalker Slum 

''1 hour later, Atala left the KnightWalker airport and went to that rotten place that was the stage of many tragedies in her life, yet it was the place where she met her friends, her family and her happiness. Atala passed by the guards of entrance of the Slum and looked down, there she saw many people walking in the streets of the Slum. She walked down the floors of the Slum to visit her building that was once her house, her home and her former paradise. Atala passed by many dead bodies of elderly and children, the weakest people to survive that place. ''

''The strong stench of dead bodies could be smelled in the air, rats eating the bodies of children, abandoned infants dead on the floor, people who commited suicide, men eating cockroaches, flies laying eggs in the wounds of beggars... that certainly was a terrible scene that Atala thought she would never see again, that was the Slum. The place where the true nature of humans could be seen.''



''After many minutes of walking, Atala finally arrived at the floor of her former apartment. She walked down many alleys and finally arrived in a street similar to an apartment complex. While she was passing by the street, many people that were chatting in front of their apartments saw Atala approaching and ran into their apartments and hid, that was the obvious thing to be done because everyone in the Slum recognizes a Cyborg by their red eyes, many of the Cyborgs go there to drink blood of humans.''

''Atala finally arrived in her former apartment. She was standing in front of the apartment looking at the windows with the lights on, she could hear several laughter of children coming from inside the apartment. She looked at the door and walked towards the entrance. When she was about to touch the door handle to open the door, the door handle turned down and the it was opened by someone inside the house. A child smiling opened the door while he was looking to his friends inside of the house.''

- Child: Hey, hurry up!

''The child turned his head to the front and saw Atala standing in front of the door. The child opened his eyes in fear as Atala looked surprised.''

- Child: Huh?

- Atala: ......

''The child gave 2 steps backwards to try walk away from Atala but the fear prevented him from running away. Atala smiled and got in her knees in front of the boy.''

- Atala: It's okay.



''Atala tried to pet him but another girl came and pushed her hand away from the boy. The same girl hugged the boy using her body to protect him from Atala. Atala's smile faded and she got up. She closed the door of the apartment, walked away and stood in front of the apartment.''

''- Atala: I knew that all long, There's no room for me in human world. I'm happy I could see this place again, so many happy memories in this place... However, it's time to leave, I can't stay here anymore. Azul is getting stronger but I'm here... imprisoned in this rotten place.''

Atala walked away from the apartment.

- Atala: Adieu, mon utopie ("Goodbye, my Utopia" in French, Atala is a Frenchwoman after all).

''Atala took a bottle of blood out of her pocket and drank the blood. Cyborgs need to drink blood to stay alive, like vampires. However, while others Cyborgs attack innocent people to drink their blood, Atala refuses to attack innocent people and she needs to ask for Uryuu to remove some of his blood, so she can drink his blood to stay alive. If the contrary, Atala might die if she does not drink blood. However, Atala is drinking Uryuu's blood for years and eventually her body will deny his blood and she will be forced to drink the blood of humans. That day will come for sure.''

 Japan - Tenguu City 

 Government House District 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 5 hours later 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 31, Octuber 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 06:30 AM 

''1 day later after, Natsuki's team arrived in Tenguu City, Azul decided to explore Tenguu City since she never travelled to another country. Azul was actually a very curious and adventurous girl and was not afraid of robbers and criminals, even if Tenguu City was considered one of the most dangerous cities in Japan. Tenguu City has this reputation because the Mafusa Gang is located there. Natsuki said to Azul to not leave the hotel but she ignored her words and left the hotel when everyone was sleeping.''

Azul was walking down the street and looked at the horizon, the sun was once again slowly rising on the horizon of the Earth.

''- Azul: We never had this scenery in Italy. This is beautiful, Japan is actually a nice place to live. Even though I am a foreigner, a lot of people gave me good day. Now, I'm going t---''

- (???): AAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Azul stopped talking when she heard a loud scream coming from a dark alley beside her.

''Azul looked into the alley and suddenly several men with broken arms came out running of the darkness. Azul opened her eyes in shock, 20 men came out of the alley and passed by Azul. They were similar to that yakuza criminals.''

- Yakuza Man 1: 'DON'T STOP RUNNING! THAT BITCH IS CRAZY!'

- Yakuza Man 2: AKI HONDA IS GOING TO KILL US!

(- Narrator: If you don't read the LOTM: Sword of Kings Saga AA, then I recommend you to read. Aki Honda is the secondary antagonist of season 1 and is the leader of Mafusa Gang, remember that this spinoff is happening 1 year prior the beginning of the storyline).



''Azul looked at the men running down the street, all of them were running the same direction. Azul focused her eyes in the dark alley again and started to walked towards it. On the way, Azul saw many men unconscious on the ground and a lot of blood on the walls. Azul clenched her fists preparing for the worst. Azul finally arrived at the end of alley and saw a figure standing there.''

- Azul: This is...

''The figure was a female person between 18-19 years old. The female person was stepping on top of one of the yakuzas.''



- Yakuza Man 3: F-F-Forgive me!

''- Female Person: Ahn? You tried to kill the parents of a child in front of him and now you'e begging for mercy, you are so disguting. ''

''- Yakuza Man 3: We were just following orders, Aki Honda told us to kill civilians to draw your attention! We were forced to collaborete! She was carrying a direct order from a KnightWalker!''

- Female Person: Yes, of course.

''The female figure stepped on the man's head, causing the man to faint. The female figure looked up.''

''- Female Figure: Aki Honda is a coward like always. Always sending trash to kill me. At least that family is safe.''

Female figure turned her body and walked towards the exit of the dark alley but she saw Azul standing there.

''- Female Person: Eh? Who are you? Are you a civilian? Are you ok?''

Azul ignored her words and shouted.

- Azul: You!

The female figure looked at Azul with confusion.

- Female Person: Eh?

- Azul: You are the Red Haired Demon, aren't you?

The female figure signed a little.



- Female Person: That nickname again...

- Azul: Show your face!

- Female Person: Ok, ok.

''The female figure came out of the darkness, revealing a teenage girl with long scarlet hair, red eyes, white skin and a magnificent body that would make up even a goddess jealous. She was wearing some type of battle outfit.''

''- Azul: You are the Red Haired Demon! I thought you were... a little bit different... What's your name?''

- Female Person: My name is Katarina Couteau.

''- Azul: Oh! Nice to meet you, Katarina Couteau! It's a pleasure to meet you in person!''

Azul blushed.

''- Katarina: Me? Why?''

Katarina crossed her arms and turned her head slightly to the right as a signal of confusion.

''- Azul: I always heard stories about you! Since me childhood to this day! Stories like you always defended civilians from criminals, that's why this city is dangerous, because they want to kill you and become famous! You're a living legend! And when I woke up today, I saw your face in the newspaper! You defeated the entire Demon Army Gang alone! I'm your fan!''

''- Katarina: Ehh... Hmm...''

''Katarina closed her eyes, put her right hand in her chin and thought about the situation. Few seconds later, Katarina opened her with star-shaped pupils and smiled proudly.''

''- Katarina: Yes! Of course, I'm Katarina Couteau! Now! Praise me! Praise me!''

- Azul: Katarina is the pretiest!

''- Katarina: Naturally! Praise me more!''

​- Azul: Katarina is the coolest!

''- Katarina: Of course! Praise me more!!''

​- Azul: Katarina is the strongest!

- Katarina: Praise me more!

​- Azul: Katarina is the best in the world!

''- Katarina: MORE! HYAHAHAHA!''

- Azul: This is getting boring at this point.

Katarina stopped smilling and looked at Azul again.

- Katarina: And who are you?

''- Azul: My name is Azul Jissele. Nice to meet you. By the way, Ms. Katarina...''

Katarina raised her hands to make a "stop" signal.

- Katarina: Just call me Katarina.

''- Azul: Oh, right. Katarina, I have a favor to you.''

- Katarina: A favor?

''- Azul: Yes. Katarina...''

Katarina edged her eyes.

- Azul: 'I challenge you to a duel! '

Azul pointed her finger to Katarina.

- Katarina: !?

- Azul: 'I Always wanted to fight you! This is the reason why I'm so happy to stay in this city!'

''Katarina closed her eyes and locked down. Azul smiled as she saw Katarina's reaction. Katarina's face quickly changed to a grin, she opened her eyes and looked at Azul again.''

''- Katarina: Oh... quite amusing. It's been years since someone challenged me to a duel. Why not? Do you want a realistic battle or a Power battle?''

(- Narrator: They're in the year 2031, then certainly the technology is very advanced. A realistic battle is a simple fight between 2 people without weapons like a street fight. A Power Battle is a kind of epic battle where two fighters enter in a technological ring and choose their powers, artificial powers given by science to fight. That is, a battle in which artificial powers are given to fighters in an battle arena).

- Azul: A power battle, I like hand-to-hand battle but I want to test the power battle for the first time in my life.

''- Katarina: Ohh. You're a foreign. Right?''

''- Katarina: Very well, Azul. There is a Power Battle Arena 500 meters away from here, we are going there to start our battle.''

- Azul: Very well.

''Katarina and Azul left the dark alley and walked down the street. Even though they are about to fight, they talked a lot on the way. They found they were very similar. They talked about many ideas exchanges about types of battle. Katarina also said she was living with La Folia Rihavein, the person who was the new commander of Natsuki's squad in Japan. Despite a small climate of hostility was growing between both of them, the two got along pretty well. After arriving at the arena, Azul and Katarina realized that a tournament of battles was already happening, however, when sponsors of the games noticed Katarina Couteau in front of the entrance, the sponsors immediately signed her and Azul in the tournament of battles without questioning, the reason was: it was not every day that people could see the Red Haired Demon fighting. Azul and Katarina went to their rooms to choose their artificial powers.''

After the end of a random fight, the presenter started to speak.

''- Presenter: My dear viewers, ladies and gentlemen! Sorry for the delay! We have just received the news that two unexpected fighters entered the tournament! Although they have never been here before, these two competitors are very strong people in physical character, and both are women!''

''The male viewers vibrate, the floor of the arena shook with millions of voices. Katarina and Azul chosen their powers and were ready to go to the arena, they waited in the front of the gate of their sides, Katarina on left side and Azul on right side.''

''- Presenter: On the left side! We have a living legend! The Demon! The nightmare of all criminals! The Red Haired Demon!''

Katarina walked towards the arena, millions of voices cheered Katarina.

- Male 1: THE RED HAIRED DEMON IS REAL!

- Male 2: Idiot, this is probably another fake one.

''- Male 3: No, I saw her! She is the real one!''

''Katarina crossed her arms and waited for the sponsors to introduce Azul without looking at the audience. Katarina was serious and in any moment she turned her eyes to the viewers. Katarina's red eyes got sharper.''

''- Presenter: On the right side! We have a military woman! A rebel of KnightWalker Funeral Parlor! One of the strongest human fighters in the rebel organization! And a devilish fighter of Moon Terminator Company! Azul Jissele!''

''Azul walked towards the arena, millions of voices cheered Azul. Azul was now facing Katarina.''

''- Viewer 1: Beat that blue bitch! ''

- Viewer 2: Do your best rebel!

''- Viewer 3: Yeah! Azul! Azul!''

Thousands yelled and jumped up and down cheering for Azul and Katarina.

- Viewer 4: I want to see a rebel that can actually stand a chance against the Red Haired Demon.



- Viewer 5: Watch my friend, you'll see how powerful our Red Haired Demon is.

''The viewer 5 grinned to a woman with long black hair beside him. The woman had a tattoo of the KFP logo in her right arm, piercings and pink eyes. For better words, the woman looks like a rocker.''

''- KFP Woman: Ooh... So the blue haired one is Azul Jissele that Natsuki said to me. This fight can be interesting.''

The woman grinned and licked her lips.

Part 1
<p style="text-align:center;"> In Arena



''The viewers stopped cheering and screaming. Azul smiled and took off her jacket and threw it on the ground.''

- Katarina: You got a lot of nerve challenge me to a power battle duel.

- Azul: Of course I did, I am feared and the strongest human in Moon Terminator Company.

Azul cracked her knuckles.

''- Katarina: Hmmm, you're a soldier of KFP... huh? Then, that means I won't go easy on ya. Remember I'm learning new abilities every week.''

- Azul: A lot of talk from an delinquent who hunts other delinquents.

Katarina frowned at Azul.

- Katarina: Yeah, I may be another delinquent but I'm not hurting innocent people.

''- Azul: Are we going to start fighting? Enough talking.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> In the audience 

''- KFP Woman: Wait... if Katarina have been learning new abilities every week and Azul is a elite member of Moon Terminator Company from KFP. That's means... shit! Both of them are on the same level!''

The woman gasped.

<p style="text-align:center;"> In Arena 

Azul clenched her fist.

- Katarina: I thought you would never ask…

''Katarina closed her eyes and suddenly opened them. Her eyes were glowing red.''

- Katarina: "Blood Cloak..."



''All of a sudden, her body was surrounded by a red aura. It covered every part of her body and it was very strong and alive. The aura started to twist and bend with fury around her. It blew air as the red energy twisted around in the air. The viewers were shocked and surprised. The KFP woman was smiling. Azul frowned.''

''- Azul: This power... it's vile and strong... Don't tell me you choose the power of---''

Katarina interrupted Azul.

''- Katarina: Exactly. I choose the power of... VAMPIRE.''

The red twisting energy vanished and Katarina had that blood red aura around her body.

- Azul (think): *What the fuck kind of Vampire is she?*

''- Azul: Hmmmm... I never thought I would meet another fighter with such sinister tendencies like me. It's my turn to show you my power! La Escuridão!''

''Azul shouted and then a black aura with shades of gray began to came out her body, creating a kind grotesquely aura. The aura seemed to have sharpened tips as if they were living tentacles.''



Katarina smiled.

''- Azul: I trained for years... And I heard all about you...''

''- Katarina: You did? You already say that. ''

''- Azul: Ever since I was a recruit... I heard about you being the strongest and feared by everyone. And you know... I think it's time for me to claim this title.''

Katarina grinned.

''- Katarina: You think a pathetic recruit like you can beat me? This is a joke.''

- Azul: SHUT UP!

''Azul ran at a incredible speed towards Katarina and grabbed her by the throat. Azul's eyes widened.''

''- Katarina: You... You are very fast. So your power is... Black Aura.''



''Katarina clenched her fist and punched Azul in the stomach. She flew back really fast and crashed into a wall. Azul stood up and dusted herself off.''

''- Azul: Not bad. I don't know why but I know all my powers even if it's my first time using this artificial power.''

Azul teleported and punched Katarina in the face, she flew back, but didn't crash into a wall.

''- Katarina: Come on! A fish hits harder then you!''

Katarina taunted Azul.

- Azul: "TWISTING SHADOWS!"

Azul yelled and her arms transformed into 17 twisting shadowy blades that twisted in the air.

- Katarina: Interesting, turning your body parts into pure dark magic.

''Azul teleported behind Katarina and the shadowy swords flew towards Katarina. Katarina ran and dodged the shadowy swords that were trying to stab her. Katarina was too fast and kicked Azul in the face and she fell on the ground. Azul stood up and felt rage boil inside of her.''



''- Azul (think): *She's too fast! I can handle teleporting TO the opponent, but she's so fast that I don't even know when to teleport away from her! I can't see her when she's moving this fast!*''

''Azul sprouted 12 more shadowy swords out of her body and went straight for Katarina. But, Katarina once again dodged them and hit Azul again and sent her flying and crashing into the wall.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> In the audience 



''- Viewer 2: Hey, I'm confused... where is that vampire power coming from?''

The female viewer with short hair asked the KFP woman.

- KFP Woman: You see my dear, Katarina is using Blood magic.

- Viewer 2: What does it do?

''- KFP Woman: Blood magic is a special type of magic that only people who choose Vampire powers can use. The magic is fueled and powered by blood. This magic turns blood into pure energy that you can use. Hovever, in order to use this magic... the User of the Vampire power has to bleed from a certain area.''

- Viewer 2: Like what area?

- KFP Woman: Anywhere, just as long as the Vampire has a small cut, he or she will be able to do Blood magic.

- Viewer 2: But, I don't see any cuts on Katarina.

''- KFP Woman: Katarina bites her tongue. That's how she's doing it.''

''- Viewer 2: Oh... why is she so powerful?''

''- KFP Woman: Because Katarina is always fighting the most powerful fighters of Japan--No, actually she is always fighting the most powerful fighters in the world. Most of them come to Tenguu City to fight Katarina but she always defeat them. Katarina gains experience fighting with them, and for some reason, her injuries makes her stronger. Not even UFC fighters could stand against her. Sometimes I feel Katarina is not human...''

The woman grinned and looked at the viewer.

''- KFP Woman: My friend, Katarina may be superior to Azul when fighting in their Human forms. But, Katarina doesn't stand a chance if Azul's true form.''

- Viewer 2: "True form"?



''- KFP Woman: Well, as you know, this is a Power Battle. You can choose your own artificial power, and so you can transform your body in different ways. Artificial powers are temporary fictional powers gave to fighters in Power Battles. For example: ''


 * You choose fire power; then you will become a fire demon
 * You choose water power, then you will become a humanoid shark
 * You choose darkness power, then you will become a reaper
 * You choose earth power, then you will become a golem
 * You choose smoke power, then you will become a entity made of smoke
 * You choose air power, then you will become a air angel

- Viewer 2: What's Katarina and Azul's true form?

''- KFP Woman: Katarina choose the Vampire power, so her true form is a 20 feet tall Bat monster. Azul choose the Black Aura power, so her true form is a 15 feet tall demon. To tell you the truth... I think Azul and Katarina might be equally matched if they did fight in their Monster forms.''

- Viewer 2: Ahhh, ok…

The viewer looked back at Azul and Katarina.

<p style="text-align:center;"> In Arena 



''- Katarina: You know... I thought you would be stronger than this.''

''- Azul: That's why I'm going back to basics. ''

Azul yelled and teleported all over the place… *Multiple Zooms and Warps* Azul teleported all over the place that Katarina couldn't keep track…

*RIP!*

2 of Azul's shadowy swords pierce through Katarina's stomach.

- Katarina: "Blood Clone…"

Katarina whispered while she coughed up blood.

- Azul: You lost…

Azul used ALL of her shadowy swords to stab through Katarina's body and ripped her to shreds, blood was all over the ground.

- Azul: I win!

<p style="text-align:center;">"....................."



- (???): Think again…

''A voice appeared behind her. Azul turned around to see a smiling Katarina behind her.''

''- Azul: How?! I ripped you to shreds!''

Katarina let out a evil grin and crossed her arms while a red aura started to appear around her.

''- Katarina: Good thing I replaced myself with a Blood Clone. If I haven't done that… I would be dead right now. Well, actually we can't die in this game. ''

Azul bit her lips angrily.

<p style="text-align:center;"> In the audience 



- Viewer 2: What did that ability do?

''- KFP Woman: A Blood Clone replaces the Vampire for a minute. When the Vampire is about to be attacked while the ability is active or activates it before the enemy's attack, he or she will be teleported to a different location while a large mass of blood is left behind to impersonate the Vampire. It's a perfect ability to use when you're trapped in those near death situations and they make perfect escapes.''

- Viewer 2: Does it have a limit?

''- KFP Woman: Yes, it does... since it leaves a huge mass of blood behind; the Vampire user will suffer from blood loss and won't be able to do any Blood magic unless he or she feeds. A regular Vampire user can use this ability 2 times per day. But, since Katarina has been training a lot for years... she can do it many times per day.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> In Arena 

Azul relaxed and smiled.



- Azul: Hey, Katarina.

- Katarina: What?

''- Azul: You should be honored... I finally found someone that I can actually go all out without causing a lot of damage.''

Azul smirked.

''- Katarina: Haha, well... I don't disappoint when it comes to fighting. And, you were the first one ever to make me use my Blood Clone ability in Power Battle.''

Katarina smirked back at her.

''- Azul: Yeah, it seems I underestimated you. Since you had more training and fighting. You must be really powerful. As expected. ''

- Katarina: I am a Hunter of criminals after all.

- Azul: Katarina, what's your view on Human life?

''- Katarina: Human life...? I find it beautiful... Humans are odd. They think order and chaos are somehow oppose and try to control they can't. I'm a human myself... I think. But there is grace in their failures. They learn from their own worst mistakes to make a better future. Even wars, genocides and murders become good points in the end. The World War II happened 120 years ago and was the most deadly conflict of mankind. And that's why the World War III  don't happened to this day.''

(- Narrator: At least not yet. The World War III is the central plot of LOTM: Sword of Kings AA - Raizen School Arc. Again this spinoff is set 1 year prior the beginning of the original storyline but still canon).

''- Azul: You're just like me. We love humans, but we can't forgive our enemies.''

Azul smiled and...

*WARP!*

Azul teleported and stabbed 6 of the shadowy swords through her head and stomach while she was distracted.

''- Katarina: Cheating... "Blood Clone..."''

Katarina transformed into a mass of blood and appeared 10 meters behind Azul.

''- Katarina (think): *I can't be too careless... she can still teleport anywhere. That's the 2nd time that I had to use Blood Clone. I have 3 more left…*''

''- Katarina: Alright, so you want to cheat? Then let's fight!''

*Multiple Zooms and Warps*

''Azul teleported all over the place to confuse Katarina, Katarina did the same trick and started to run and jump all over the place to avoid Azul and her shadowy swords. For 2 minutes, they did this and not a single attack was thrown... they were just ducking and dodging each other. Katarina and Azul grew impatient.''



- Azul: ENOUGH!

''Azul stopped teleporting. Katarina stopped moving fast and stopped dead in her tracks.''

''- Azul: It appears that even my random teleporting won't be enough to catch you. I will only teleport to avoid you.''

''- Katarina: Very well... "Blood Wolves..."''

''The poodles of blood that were still lying on the ground from Katarina's Blood Clone ability started to swirl and move. The poodles of blood transformed into Red Wolves completely made out of blood. There were 7 Wolves.''

- Azul: Wolves made out of blood?

''- Katarina: "Sic em..." ''

''The Blood Wolves growled at Azul and ran towards her. Azul easily sliced and killed the Blood Wolves with her shadowy swords.''

''- Katarina: No matter... that was a weak ability that I used on you.''

Katarina smirked.



- Azul: Bring it...

Azul glared at her.

- Katarina: "Rune... Daggers."

''Katarina whispered. The blood on the ground moved towards Katarina and pooled in her hands. The blood transformed into 2 sharp silver Daggers in her hands.''

''- Azul: Ok, that's it... I'm trying a new ability. "Demon Form."''



''Azul's purple aura around her grew stronger and her skin started to fall off. Azul transformed into an demon, but it looked different. Azul's body was completely made out of purple glowing energy and she was muscular and had the body of a Body builder, while the regular demon are skinny and anorexic. Her eyes glowed white and so did the inside of her mouth.''

Katarina stared wide eyed at Azul and lowered her Daggers.

''- Katarina (think): *This could be a problem... she has a lot of dark energy covering her body. This will severely reduce my damage to her and I think her healing has increased... I'm gonna have to start using my strong abilities.*''

''- Katarina: "Telekinesis..." ''

''Katarina started to float in the air. The viewers looked at her confused.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> In the audience 

- Viewer 1: Why is she floating?

- KFP Woman: Telekinesis not only levitates objects and creatures, but also the Vampire user himself.

- Viewer 1: Oh, ok…

- KFP Woman: Duh...

<p style="text-align:center;"> In Arena 



''Katarina infused some of her energy into her Daggers and threw them as fast as a Bullet. The Daggers penetrated through Azul's body and left 2 nice sized holes through her chest and stomach.''

''- Azul: Nice try. ''

''Azul grinned. The holes closed up in 3 seconds.''

''- Katarina (think): Whoa... that demon form must be her strongest ability; it's time to use my powerful attacks. "Scarlett Fever…"''

''After she thought that, Katarina closed her eyes and got to her knees. Moments later, Katarina's eyes shot open and made a wicked grin.''

''- Katarina: HaHaHaHa! I'm gonna eat you all up! Come here! I want to taste you!''

Katarina yelled with an insane voice and shot towards Azul.

''- Azul: What in the world...

<p style="text-align:center;"> In the audience 



''- Viewer 3: What the hell is going on with her? What happened to her? Why is she acting insane all of a sudden?''

''- KFP Woman: Scarlett Fever is an ability that forcefully puts the Vampire user in mass hysteria. The Vampire will become insane and wannting to fight and drink badly, this makes the Vampire user ignore even the most painful attacks and can even ignore a stake through the Heart. Hovever, there is a price...''

- Viewer 3: What is it?

''- KFP Woman: During the Fever, the Vampire user can't think at all and just wants to rip his opponent to shreds. This is bad if the Vampire user is fighting against an intelligent opponent. And, it's also bad because after the opponent is defeated. The Vampire will attack any creature that's close to him... whether living or dead...''

''- Viewer 3: Ahhh... can she break out of the Fever?''

''- KFP Woman: Yeah, but only high level Vampires users can. Katarina can break out of it since she fought as a Vampire several times before. ''

<p style="text-align:center;"> In Arena 

- Katarina: Let's me taste you!



''Katarina ran towards Azul and kicked Azul in the chest, but her foot sunk in and Azul swung her purple glowing claw and made a deep cut on Katarina's chest. Katarina ignored the pain and summoned 2 Daggers and stabbed Azul's head many times. Azul swung her claw again and Katarina couldn't dodge it because her foot was caught in the dense dark energy around her body.''

- Katarina: "BLOOD CLONE!"

''Katarina quickly yelled out. *SLASH* Katarina's head was cut off her body and her body transformed into a mass of blood. Katarina appeared 10 meters away from Azul.''

''- Katarina (think): *Damn... that's the 3rd time I had to use Blood Clone! I got 2 more left… There is no choice... I have to use that...*''

''- Azul (think): *I received so much damage in just 2 minutes. I have to use 100% of my vision to prevent her attacks from now on.*''

When Katarina used her Blood Clone, it canceled her Scarlett Fever mode.

<p style="text-align:center;"> In the audience 

''- Female Viewer: Wow, this is the best fight I have ever seen! They know how control their powers.''

''- Male Viewer: I can't believe my eyes. Someone is a match to the Red Haired Demon.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> In Arena 



''- Katarina: Congratulations... you get to see the power I love.''

Katarina said with a smirk.

- Azul: Great, show me what you got, Vampire girl.

''Azul taunted her. Katarina heard running water and put her ear to the ground.''

''- Katarina (think): *There's water under us and around us... since she's a Demon, she takes damage from water. Perfect... this fight is just about over.*''

''- Azul (think): *This protection around the arena is made to prevent us from using our powers to attack the viewers. However, if I destroy it and then destroy the roof, the sun's light will come in the arena and she will take damage from the sun since she is a vampire.*''

Katarina smirked at the thought.

- Azul: What are you smiling about you blood sucking?

- Katarina: Oh, nothing...

Katarina smiled and raised her right hand.

- Katarina: "Blood Rain".

''All of a sudden, it started to rain in the room, but it wasn't water... it was blood. Luckily, it didn't rain over where the seats were. Azul looked around confused as the blood fell on her.''

- Katarina: Now then...

Katarina pointed her hand at Azul.

- Katarina: "Blood Stab".

''All of a sudden, the red rain drops transformed into tiny Daggers and stabbed through every part of Azul's body. Azul grunted in pain.''



- Katarina (think): *I need to restrain her.*

- Katarina: "Blood Chains!"

''Katarina yelled and the blood that was on Azul's body and on the ground turned into Red chains and wrapped around her body. The dark energy that surrounded Azul's body started to melt the Chains off her.''

- Katarina: I need to do this quickly!

''Katarina yelled and ran up to Azul. Azul placed her hand on Azul's chest.''

- Azul: Sh---!

- Katarina: "Blood Drain!"

''Azul's blood started to spew out of her mouth. Azul gagged and tried to break free, but Katarina summoned more Chains to restrain her. Azul was losing so much blood that the Demon form started to leave her. After a few seconds, Azul lost her demon form and changed back to her Human form. Azul was weak and couldn't break out of the chains; she glared at Katarina with pure hatred.''

''- Katarina: You see... Blood is life. Every living thing has blood in its body. Its what gives a vampire power and strength. You lost so much blood that it drained your magic. Don't worry, like I said, it's impossible to die in this game.''



Katarina raised both of her hands.

- Katarina: "Blood Crack."

''The blood on the ground went through the cracks in the ground. Suddenly, the ground shook and started to open up under Azul. There was a water stream running down to Caves under her.''

''- Katarina: You did wonderful fighting me! Though, it is a shame that I have to defeat you now. It was a good fight. I loved this combat, it's been years since I don't had a wonderful combat! It was a pleasure, Azul Jissele.''

Katarinaa whipped her hair back.

''- Azul: Go ahead... you may have beaten me this time. But, always remember that I'll find you again and when I do… I'll come back to defeat you the most painful way imaginable.''

Azul replied Katarina drowning in hatred and anger.

''- Katarina: Yep, please do it. Get stronger! You're different from the rest! I shall fight you again, you're the most powerful person I met in my entire life! When you find me again, let's fight again!''

Katarina smiled and kicked Azul in the water stream.



- Azul: AHHHHH!

''Azul yelled in agony as the water started to dissolve her body. Azul sunk in the water and a few bubbles came up. Azul's Demon Crystal that was given for her to use the Black Aura power floated to the top of the water.''

Everyone stood up, cheered and clapped.

- Presenter: 'WE HAVE THE WINNER! THE WINNER IS THE RED HAIRED DEMON!'

Part 2
<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 hour later 

<p style="text-align:center;"> United States - Liberty City 

<p style="text-align:center;"> KnightWalker Funeral Parlor District 



''The several existing buildings owned by KnightWalker Funeral Parlor at the outskirts of Liberty City. A person know as Kyouhei Kannazuki visited one of them and was at the 3rd floor underground. A man in suit with with black glasses accompanied Kyouhei. Kyouhei was a tall guy standing beside the the man in suit and he looks like a butler. He had wavy hair and a nose that doesn't seem Japanese. He was a young man with looks that could appear in BL novels. Yes, Kyouhei Kannazuki is the LEADER of KnightWalker Funeral Parlor.''

''- Guard: This way. Sir Kannazuki.''

''The young organization member leading Kyouhei stopped his legs at the end of the long corridor. Over there, there was a narrow residential space separated by iron bars. Basically, it was a jail. There was one man inside. He was a middle-aged man wearing plain work clothes. There are several wounds thought to be left just recently on his face, and body. Around 2 months ago from now, it is the KnightWalker general captured during the events a battle of Hawaii.''

(- Narrator: The battle of Hawaii did not happen on screen. The battle happened when the KnightWalker Family tried to attack USA under Juria KnightWalker's orders. They tried to use the same tactics of Japan Empire 120 years ago during the World War II, which Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. However, the KnightWalkers were defeated by Global Pact Defense and KnightWalker Funeral Parlor and captured Thomas Sinclair at the end of the battle).

- Guard: We found out he is the second chief executive colonel, Thomas Sinclair from his ID but, we don’t know anything else other than that.

(- Narrator: Remember Thomas Sinclair? Yes... he was one of the leaders who attacked Fiore Kingdom 21 years ago under Eckidina's orders, he made his debut in LOTM: Sword of Kings: Rise of the Blue Haired Heroine - Sad Happiness).



''- Kyouhei: Nothing? Does that mean he is silent?''

- Guard: Rather than calling it silent...

''The organization member made a troubled face and *gan**gan* slammed on the iron bars. However, Thomas inside the jail was lying down on the bed and did not respond back at all.''

''- Guard: That’s the case. We tried several times interrogating him using a Artificial Demon but, it’s like his memories slipped out from his head.''

''- Kyouhei: I see. It’s a hand that girl would use.''

- Guard: That "girl"?

''The organization member tilted his head. Kyouhei [No] replied back with that.''

- Kyouhei: Can I talk a little with him?

''- Guard: Haa... I don’t mind, though.''

''The guard made a dubious face while stepping back. When the guard said that, Kyouhei walked towards Thomas inside the cage.''

''- Kyouhei: -Yaa, Thomas. Will you talk with me a bit?''



''And. The moment he called out to him.''

“…………….!”

''Being persistently unresponsive until now, Thomas jumped out from the bed as if he was a doll with a spring attached onto it. Thomas looked at Kyouhei with empty eyes.''

- Guard: Uooo…………….?!

''The guard twitched his shoulders. But, Thomas did not bother about that and after he walked towards Kyouhei with unsteady steps, *gashan* such a sound was produced and he lay on the iron bars. After his eyes became unfocused, his lips covered with drool was forced towards Kyouhei and the group's presence.''

- Thomas: *A-a-aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaa-KaaaaaaNNNNNNNNNaaaaaZZZZZZuuuuuuuuuKKKKKKKKiiiiiiii.*

''Thomas made a code-like broken voice echoed from the depths of his throat and his head shook repeatedly after some intervals. However, after a few seconds. The weird dissonant voice echoing out from Thomas's throat was stabilized and could be heard as a voice. And then.''

- (???): *-Yaa, Long time no see, Kyouhei.*

''He made a voice different from usual. No... calling the impression 'made a voice' correct could be strange. Thomas’s face did not change until now. Even though voices were coming out, his lips and tongue were not moving. It is already appropriate say, a different voice was echoing out from a human-type speaker. And for some reason, the voice coming out of his throat was a female voice.''

- Guard: Wha-thi-this is...

''The guard raised a voice filled with dismay. Well, that was only normal. Kyouhei made a small shrug with his shoulders before, at Thomas--no, more precisely, towards the "girl" at the other side of him.''



''- Kyouhei: Aah... It's been 15 years. Are you doing well... Eckidina KnightWalker?''

The girl talking with Kyouhei was Eckidina KnightWalker, the heiress of the KnightWalker Family and the leader of Eckidina's Cyborg Horsemen faction.

''- Eckidina (voice only): *Thanks to you. How about you, Kyouhei?*''

''- Kyouhei: I have no confidence in my side. My eyes have completely gotten bad just recently. Thanks to you. ''

''- Eckidina (voice only): *Oh well, oh well. I feel bad for that. Well... you tried to steal my plans of using the Tech of the End so I had to protect my dream. I destroyed both of your eyes 15 years ago... but you healed them.*''



''After Eckidina's voice was released out from a zombie-state man, they had a small chat for a while. The guard at the side was looking at him (her) with disgusted eyes.''

''- Eckidina (voice only): *By the way, Kyouhei. Why don’t you come back to us? You should know this too but, we have discovered how to activate the Trigger, and we are ready to attack Tokyo in some days. Our dearest realization is near. Our dream to use the power of the Tech of the End to rewrite the world. We worked together once 15 years ago so you know my feelings. If you provide assistance that would probably make it even more certain. If you come back, Misogi and I would certainly be pleased.*''

''- Kyouhei: Sadly, I don’t have such intentions, Eckidina. I told you that many times 15 years ago.''

When Kyouhei said that, the [Voice] sighed regretfully.

''- Eckidina (voice only): *That was a letdown. Even when 15 years passed, it looks like the fever that harmed you has not completely healed.*''

''- Kyouhei: You know, I left the KnightWalker Family 15 years ago and I joined the KnightWalker Funeral Parlor to stop you, Juria KnightWalker and Uryuu Ryounusuke. A organization full of psychotic minds.''

The same time he said that, Thomas’s body slowly slithered down the iron bars.

''- Eckidina (voice only): *then, I won’t go easy on you the next time we meet. I will use the Black Demon and the power of the Tech of the End for my dearest realization.*''

''- Kyouhei: I won’t let that happen. That's what KnightWalker Funeral Parlor is for.''

''- Eckidina (voice only): *Fu... I still have the LN-666 Project... anyway...*''

And at the same time, after Thomas prostrate on the ground, he spat out a large amount of blood from his mouth.



- Guard: Wha...?!

''The guard loses his cool before operating the terminal, and starting to contact the upper floor. While looking at the situation, Kyouhei slightly brought his eyebrows closer.''

''- Kyouhei: You don't change at all, Eckidina. Everything is just the way it was from 15 years back.''

After that, he called out to the guard without changing his face direction.

''- Kyouhei: Not far away, there will be a direct battle with KnightWalker Family. A massive war. Looks like Juria, Eckidina and Uryuu are moving to Japan to use the Tech of the End. Please report this situation to Central Command; say to all our forces, bases and facilities across the world to go immediately to Japan.''

- Guard: Right away, sir!

''From the guard's words. Kyouhei, replied back without changing the tone of his voice. The guard immediately left the prison and ran to the Central Command on surface.''

(- Narrator: To explain, Kyouhei Kannazuki, the leader of KnightWalker Funeral Parlor was once a member of KnightWalker Family but he left them 15 years ago when he discovered the true nature of the KnightWalkers. Kannazuki worked together with Eckidina during his time as a KnightWalker Family, however, he discovered her plans and tried to steal her plans to prevent her from using the Tech of the End. Unfortunately, Kannazuki was captured by her forces, Eckidina then destroyed his eyes as a punishment. But he escaped from his death and joined the KFP. 5 years later after he left the KnightWalker Family, he was promoted to Supreme Commander of the rebel organization.).

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile in Eckidina's Faction of KnightWalker Family Cruiser

<p style="text-align:center;"> Eckidina's Room

<p style="text-align:center;"> 5000 kilometers above the Ocean Pacific 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Space 



''The company heiress Eckidina KnightWalker made a sigh. And, after she operated the buttons near her hands, she called the person outside.''

- Eckidina: How pitful, Kannazuki was a good man.

After some time passed, the room door was knocked.

- (???): Pardon my rudeness.

''After saying that, a tall man with black combat clothes entered the room. Yes, the person in front of Eckidina was Vladimir Makarov, one of the generals of KnightWalker Family and one of the most dangerous terrorists across the world alongside Johan Liebert, the leader of Aurozia Terrorist Organization. Vladimir Makarov is the leader of the Black Hand organization, one of the terrorist organizations affiliated to KnightWalker Family.''

- Vladimir: Is there something you need, Eckidina?

''- Eckidina: No... It’s not a big deal though.''

Eckidina said that while directing her sights towards Vladimir.

''- Eckidina: I just thought that directors' opinion made sense, in the last board meeting in Paris. ''



- Vladimir: And, that is?

''- Eckidina: The fact that we lost large number of my Cyborgs in battles against the Moon Terminator Company of KFP. Because of my actions, I lost 45% of all my Cyborgs last month and it will make a huge problem in targeting rebels from now on. We are in disadvantage in this war. Our battle will be against Knightwalker Family's military, Uryuu's faction, Moon Terminator Company and KFP. ''

- Vladimir: Are you saying, a replacement numbers of soldiers?

''Vladimir raised the side of his eyebrows while saying that. There is no mistake there is a glimpse of slight displeasure on his expression. Eckidina made a small shrug with her shoulders.''

''- Eckidina: Naturally, everything would progress nicely if I have you, Misogi Kumagawa and Bill Williamson, who is now in the laboratory of this ship, he is being turned into a Artificial Demon and a Cyborg from my own blood. Bill will eventually become the strongest Cyborg in the world. But, he is just a reserve to the end. ''

“.........”



Vladimir made a sigh before looking back at Eckidina again.

''- Vladimir: But even so, who on Earth? Cyborgs who holds the power worthy of a Horsemen of Apocalypse. If you're saying about the Cyborgs from Artemishia Vagorion's faction, the Third Strongest Cyborg in the World, then regretfully they are''

(- Narrator: Artemeshia Vagorion was mentioned twice in the story. She is the third strongest Cyborg in the world and a strong Cyborg in KnightWalker Family. She is the 003 Experiment and is the leader of Artemeshia's Faction. She is set to make her debut in the upcoming LOTM: Sword of Kings AA Final - Eckidina Arc).

- Eckidina: Nooo.

After Eckidina stopped Vladimir's words, she lifted the side of her lips.

''- Eckidina: Well, I'm not talking about just "one" or the Cyborgs from Artemishia's Faction. I'm talking about YOUR organization, the entire Black Hand Terrorist Organization.''

- Vladimir: WHA?!--- You're planning to turn my entire squad in Cyborgs?!

''- Eckidina: Yes. Why not? You have 10.000 soldiers, if I turn them in my Cyborgs then our goal will be easier to accomplish.''

- Vladimir: But this...

''- Eckidina: From now on, I'll disband the Black Hand Organization... They will be part of Eckidina's Horsemen Faction.''

- Vladimir: Tsk!

Vladimir bit his lips as Eckidina smiled.

''- Eckidina: Don't worry, we still have the All Jokers and the Assassin Wolf Brigade. By the way, I have an old friend in KnightWalker Funeral Parlor... He's my spy... He is the one who is leaking informations and plans of KFP for me. His name is... Kano.''

Part 3
<p style="text-align:center;"> Japan - Tenguu City 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Imperial Hotel Infirmary 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 5 hours after Azul's fight with Katarina 



''5 hours after the battle of Azul with Katarina. After an incredible battle, Azul collapsed under the water, however, Katarina rescued Azul and took her to the infirmary of the Battle Arena. The woman with the KFP tattoo visited Azul in the room and took her to the Imperial Hotel where Natsuki's Team was staying. Natsuki, Haru and Revy sought Azul through the entire hotel after she disappeared. Upon arriving at the hotel, the woman with the KFP tattoo took Azul to infirmary of the hotel. ''

''The woman explained what happened to Azul to Natsuki, Haru and Revy; her battle against Katarina Couteau and the Power Battle. Azul was placed on a bed in a luxury room which was the infirmary of the hotel. Azul was passed out for 5 hours. At that same moment, Azul was dreaming about something very strange... very strange. Azul was seeing a woman with white face and could see only her mouth. She was in a white place. Azul was lying while the woman with white put Azul's head on her legs.''

Azul's Dream
- Woman: It's been a while.

In Azul's head, a voice that she heard somewhere before echoed.



- Woman: Finally, finally we meet again, ×××.

A voice filled with nostalgia, with warmth.

''- Woman: I'm glad, but, just a little longer. Wait just a little longer.''

- Azul: Who are you?

Azul asked, but there was no answer.

''- Woman: I won't leave you again. I definitely won't make that mistake again. I'm sorry for using you in that heartless experiment... That's why...''

"....................."

''- Azul: ............ Mom?''

There, the mysterious voice was cut off.

Real World
Azul opened her eyes in shock after that dream.



- Azul: ...Haa!

''Azul came to, "Uwahh!" and let out a big shout. Well of course. After all, a woman she didn't recognize was holding her eyelids open with her fingers, while shining light on her eyes with what seemed like a small penlight.''

''- Woman: ...Nn? She woke up.''

''The woman with a strangely emo face said, with an indifferent and spaced out voice. She seems to have been checking the movements of the eyeballs of the unconscious Azul, so her face was unusually close. She could smell a faint fragrance, probably the smell of her shampoo.''

- Azul: W, Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-WHO ARE YOU?!

- Woman: ...Nn, aah.



''The woman, still in an absent-minded state, raised her body up, drearily sweeping her bangs to the side. As a certain amount of distance was put between them, it became possible to see the full view of the woman. The woman, or "girl" was person between 19 and 20 years old. The woman is quite a pale girl with pink eyes. She has long multi-coloured hair consisting of black, pink, blue and white, some of which is tied into two oni horns on the top of her head. The woman has a style of clothing that is very similar to the old japanese's school uniform. She wears a school uniform and ripped thigh highs (the right one is pink and the left one is blue). Both of her ears have six needle earrings and an earlobe gauge. She also has three mouth piercings and black nail polish. She wears a necklace, and three silver rings on her left hand. Her shoes are white, with blue shoelaces on the right one and pink shoelaces on the left one. The woman also has a long scar tattoo with stitches on her left thigh. The woman had a tatto of KPF logo on her right arm. Yes, the woman there was the same woman who was watching the fight between Azul and Katarina.''

Azul looked at in her with confusion.

''- Woman: I am the Analysis Officer of KnightWalker Funeral Parlor in Japan, Mioda Ibuki! Unfortunately the Medical Officer is away! —But don't worry. Although I don't have a license, I can at least handle some simple nursing! ''

"..."

''Azul couldn't help but worry. Because, this woman called Ibuku Mioda seemed obviously healthy than Azul and looks like a really energetic rocker. In fact, since earlier, as if drawing a small circle with her head, her body had been swaying unsteadily. Azul, now with her upper body raised, was reminded by what Ibuki had just said.''

- Azul: Here?

''Azul asked, looking at her surroundings. Azul had been sleeping on a simple pipe bed. Surrounding it was a white curtain that acted as a divider. It was a space like a hotel room. However, the ceiling was slightly out of place. Some plain pipes and wirings were visible.''

- Azul: Wh-Where is, here...

''- Ibuki: ...Ah, this is infirmary of the Imperial Hotel. You were unconscious so I brought you here.''

''- Azul: Imperial hotel...? Ah. And I was unconscious..., ah—''

That's right, Azul was defeated in the battle against Katarina, and had been knocked out.

''- Azul: ...Um, uhm, can I ask a few questions? Too many things that I don't understand happened...''

''Azul said while scratching her head. However, Ibuki did not respond, silently turning away from Azul.''

- Azul: Ah—Please wait...!



''- Ibuki: Natsuki, Haru and Revy are worried and angry because you left the hotel and fought the Red Haired Demon. Prepare your anus.''

Ibuki made a "anus" form with her fingers.

- Azul: EHHHH?!!!!!

''- Ibuki: Ahhh. I forgot to say! I'm a new member in Natsuki's Squad! Nice to meet you Azul Jissele! From now on I'll be your new partner!''

''Ibuki opened the door of the room. Azul saw 3 figures in the darkness with red eyes. Shadow figures with red angry eyes. They were Natsuki Minamiya, Haru Zageko and Revy; Azul's friends.''

- Natsuki: Aaaaazzzzuuuulllll!!~

''An angry vein appeared on the forehead of Natsuki. Revy walked towards Azul in 2 guns.''



''- Revy: Do you want me to put you in a wheelchair again that bad? You should have just told me.''

Revy's eyes were empty as she walked slowly towards Azul in her bed.

- Azul: N-No...

''- Revy: Ohh, Azul. You will love it.''

''- Haru: Come over here, Azul. ''

Haru's evil eyes started to glow and walked towards Azul alongside Revy.

''- Azul (think): *They're hardcore! They've totally got their eye out for me, now!*''

Azul jumped out of the bed and stood against the wall.

*footsteps* *footsteps*



''- Haru: Haha, yours truly will massage this bad butt for you... Hehehe.''

''- Azul: No... I think I'm good today...''

''- Revy: Why not? Come on.''

*footsteps* *footsteps*

''Azul began to tremble with fear. She was pale, began to sweat cold, was wide-eyed and could no longer feel her legs.''

- Azul: H-Have m-m-merc-cy.



- Haru: You're the one who said you looked foward to work with us, you said we would have a blast together, Azul-dono.

*footsteps* *footsteps*

''- Azul: I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT! I'M SORRY!''

*footsteps* *footsteps*

''Revy and Haru's shadows surrounded Azul. Azul screamed so loud that her scream could be heard outside of the hotel. Thousands of civilians looked at the Ibuki's window from the street.''

- Azul: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~ ❤❤❤

<p style="text-align:center;"> Narita Airport 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Japan - Tokyo 



''It takes approximately 9 hours from the Paris Heathrow airport to reach Japan's Narita airport. Having finishing the remaining simple business inside the private jet, Uryuu Ryounosuke came out from the VIP entrance of the airport and rode the white luxurious car waiting for him before heading towards the lodging area in Japan's Tokyo metropolitan Tokyo city’s hotel. As Uryuu left the airport, millions of ships arrived and blocked the airport. Those ships were from Uryuu's faction.''

''He was a characteristic tall man with dark redhead hair, and a pair of sharp eyes like naked blades. His age should be around in his mid-25 but, the dangerous atmosphere covering his body was disrupting the appropriateness of his age. At the least, he was somewhat too young to be burdened with the tittle of the World's Strongest Cyborg-such an impression was probably impossible to someone unless they have met with him directly. Meanwhile in Uryuu's car.''



''- Uryuu: However, if we continue to have trips like this in short term, as expected it would be tiring. How about it, Atala. Why not build a residence here in Japan?''

Uryuu turned his shoulder while saying that before sharpening his eyes towards the Nordic blonde girl sitting beside him.

''- Atala: Originally, the trip here to Japan this time was supposed to be postponed to later. Even though something like that just happened, I feel admiration for you to be able to leave your castle empty.''

''The girl said it with a strong tone. Atala Arck. Uryuu's direct subordinate and the captain of Uryuu's Faction executive division of the shadow execution team in KnightWalker Family.''

''- Uryuu: Don’t praise me like that. I’ll feel embarrassed. ''

- Atala: I wasn’t praising.

- Uryuu: Well, years ago, I tried to build myself mansion in Tenguu City but I gave up on that.

(- Narrator: The mansion that he is talking about actually appears in LOTM: Sword of Kings Special - Valentine's Day as the stage of the final battle; Katarina Vs. Yan, Ryouko and Ember, the special takes place during the events of this spinoff).

''Atala said it flat out. Uryuu slightly shrugged his shoulders.''



''Nonetheless, it’s not like she doesn’t understand what he was saying. Actually, a few hours back, the KnightWalker Director, Redwood, tried to blame Uryuu for a murder. At that time, things were managed without any problems because of Atala's physical persuasion but, if Uryuu an Atala were to leave the HQ this frequently then, the directors who do not think comfortably of Uryuu will be given some sort of preparation time. The possibility of those people once again forming some kind of way to wave the flag of revolution is enough. It was only natural for Atala to be nervous. However, Uryuu slightly distorted the side of his lips.''

''- Uryuu: Not really, if that is the case then I don’t mind. I prefer humans filled with ambitions enough to bite off my neck when they get a chance.''

- Atala: It might be okay for you but, please try picturing yourself as someone that has to do the clean up afterwards.



''When Uryuu said that, Atala pouted a little unsatisfied. Uryuu blushed a little and laughed.''

''- Uryuu: Hahahaha. More importantly, did you investigate that matter?''

- Atala: Yes, over here.

''Atala made a small sigh and took out a bundle of documents which were restrained with a clip. Uryuu received that before lowering his sights at the printed photo and row of literature. It was an investigation document of the Hiragi Kureto and the environment around him.''

- Uryuu: This is...

Uryuu's eyes opened in fear.

- Uryuu: Hiragi Kureto managed to create the 4rd Trigger...



''[http://legendsofthemultiuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/LOTM:_Sword_of_Kings:_Rise_of_the_Blue_Haired_Heroine_-_Dark_Fire#Part_6_.28Final.29 What Uryuu just read was that Hiragi Kureto managed to create the 4rd Trigger by using Catalina, Revy's younger sister, as a guinea pig. The experiment was a sucess, Catalina is now a Black Demon and is fourth person to survive the Tech of the End.] However, Catalina is not the fourth person to survive the Tech of the End experiment... she is actually the fifth person to survive the Tech of the End experiment.''

''- Uryuu (think): *I see... so they don't know Atala is a Black Demon too.*''

''Uryuu turn his sight to Atala. Atala was confused but Uryuu ignored her reaction and looked back at the documents.''

''- Uryuu (think): *To tell the truth, I just saved Atala from her death that night in the KnightWalker Slum because I wanted to test her. I transformed Atala in a Cyborg to keep her alive. Eckidina was trying to remove Azul from my hands, so she killed Azul's entire family to make a point but she did not know that Atala was "special". Between 100 millions people, only ONE of them is capable of survive the Tech of the End Experiment... and Atala is one of them. In order to test the Tech of the End, I transformed Atala in a Cyborg so I could begin my experiment. After many months working on Atala, I finally managed to turn Atala in a Black Demon. When I finished my experiment, Atala became the 4th person in history to survive the experiment. In other words, Atala is also a Black Demon created by ME. Of course, I erased her memories about the experiment so she don't know anything about that. But 2 years ago, Eckidina managed to discover my experiment and found out my plan. Eckidina now knows that Atala is a Black Demon. Despite my experiment was a sucess... it worked only in 50% but it failed in 50% too.*''



''Uryuu let out a sign. Atala let out a small voice as a signal of confusion.''

''- Uryuu (think): *When the experiment works in 100%, that means the guinea pig is 100% Black Demon... However, I failed in 50%... but I managed to complete 50% of the experiement, and one thing that I thought was not possible happened. I created the Zeta-Black Demon, I transformed Atala in a Zeta-Black Demon. Azul Jissele, Haru Zageko and Revy are 100% Black Demons, but Atala is 50% Black Demon and the rest of the 50% is Human. That means Atala is half demon and half human. Years ago, I discovered that Atala can't transform in Black Demon... And so I got mad and tried to kill her while she was sleeping... But before I could kill her, I noticed something: The Zeta-Black Demon can't transform in Black Demon form... HOWEVER, the Zeta-Black Demon is a "Key". If I force the Zeta-Black Demon touch the host of the 100% Black Demon, the Tech of the End will be unleashed and so the host, also know as the "Trigger", will go in Black Demon Mode simply by the touch of the Zeta-Black DEMON. In other words, if I create a scenery where Atala touch Azul, Haru or Revy, the Black Demon inside of them will wake up.... Wait! '''That's why Eckidina said to Atala to stay in Paris! So this is what it means!'*

Uryuu's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;"> Scenes of the last Episode 



''Eckidina KnightWalker, the 002 Cyborg and the heiress of the KnightWalker Family was walking through a long corridor of the building with Atala. She was making echoes with her footsteps in the corridor, while making a soft sigh. They just had left a room of the building after a KnightWalker meeting.''

''- Eckidina: Did you see that, Atala? Everyone there did not see how grave that matter was. All of the incompetent fools joined together, were weird enough to put the blame on a genius that is 1 in 10,000. They wanted to blame me for letting you kill all KFP prisioners in Netherland.''

- Atala: I guess that's true.

She was walking behind a few steps before Eckidina while the girlAtala replied back quietly.

''- Eckidina: But, I have to say, the KFP is getting stronger. Those Artificial Demons are bad. My Cyborg faction was reduced by 45% last month. I have to do something about it. Uryuu is having problems too. By the way, I'm thinking of capturing Azul Jissele, your "princess", and turning her into a Cyborg so you don't have to worry about her. Aah. If a tech treatment was carefully conducted, compared to me, you or Artemishia, she might even become a Cyborg that could surpass the world's strongest Cyborg, Uryuu. Neee...''

''Atala stopped walking and looked angrily to Eckidina. ''

"……………………" 



''Eckidina said that while narrowing her eyes while the world's fourth strongest Cyborg kept silent. Although she planned it to be a joke, she might have turned a little sullen at it. Eckidina thought that Atala was unbearably cute, and shrugged her shoulders. But Atala immediately remembered something and raised her voice.''

- Atala: Speaking of which, there was one report.

Atala opened the file she was holding with her hand.

- Eckidina: Report?

''- Atala: Yes. Our central intelligence discovered the latest plans of KFP. Hiragi Kureto, is planning an attack on our bases in Japan. They intend to kill the 25 Cyborgs of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. After that, they will launch an attack in Paris while we are recovering of our defeat in Japan.''



''- Eckidina: I see. I have to tell my father about it. This is the first time the KFP is going to attack us like that. This means war.''

- Atala: I'll urgently request for a re-investigation.

But, Eckidina extended her hands to restrain Atala from doing so.

- Eckidina: If we leave it to those kind of KnightWalker Military VIPs, the best they could do would be a physical examination with the same results.

- Atala: Then---

''- Eckidina: Yeah, we are going take this matter into our own hands. With us doing it, we can definitely solve this quickly and easily. Eckidina's Horsemen will take care of the problem. ''

- Atala: But......

''Eckidina stopped Atala from saying anything further. She knew what she was going to say.''

''- Eckidina: I'll leave this matter to Misogi Kumagawa and Bill Williamson. I'll send the Aurazia Terrorist Organization, All Jokers and Black Hand to help as well. I hope Vladimir Makarov and Johan Lierbert will help us. Do not worry, you're going to see your princess very soon. I'll rescue Azul Jissele from the wicked KnightWalker Funeral Parlor.''

Atala looked suspiciously as Eckidina let out a insane grin.

''- Eckidina (think): *I'm going to call Bill Williamson to my office. I'm looking foward to create the stage of the battle. Azul Jissele will face Bill Williamson. A duel of the fates. Bill, the person who killed Maria Jissele, Azul's mother. I wonder what kind of story I will see?*''

''- Eckidina: Atala, you stay in Paris. Do not force yourself. I'll do the dirty work for you.''

Eckidina tried to hid her grin as she walked away.

- Atala: Roger...

Atala looked with rage at Eckidina while she was walking away from her.

Nowdays
<p style="text-align:center;"> Back to Uryuu's car 

''- Uryuu (think): *That bitch was trying to destroy my plans! She was trying to stop me from using Atala as a key. However, when I said I was going to Japan and I took Atala with me, her plan of trying to stop me from using Atala to unleash the power of the Black Demon failed. That means she know my intentions. But why?..... OH! I see! There are 2 ways to unleash the power of the Black Demon inside of the Trigger:*''

''Atala still looking at Uryuu. She was very confused about his reaction since he was looking down for minutes.''
 * 1) *The first method is to use severe negative emotions to make the Black Demon awaken; such as sadness and hatred; this method takes some time;*
 * 2) *And the second method is to make the Zeta-Black Demon touch the Black Demon, this is the method I'm trying to do.*

''- Atala: He is really... focused.''



''- Uryuu (think): *Eckidina knows I'm trying to use Atala as a key so she tried to keep Atala in Paris while she went to Japan to find Azul Jissele and the rest of the Black Demon. But this is not a problem anymore, Atala is with me. All I have to do is to wait the KnightWalker Funeral Parlor attack our HQ in Tokyo. When the battle happens, I'll create a "scenery" to Azul and Atala. And when Atala touch Azul... '''BANG! '''Azul will go in Black Demon Mode and I have to do is eat the crystal of the Black Demon located in its chest, and so... I'll become a Black Demon itself and rule this world! A Black Demon has the power to destroy entire countries... I'll enjoy my reign as a Black Demon! When the Earth is destroyed, I'll just leave this planet to explore the universe and destroy ALL planets and stars I encounter!*''



''Uryuu let out a evil grin. Atala noticed it but Uryuu hid his grin with his left hand.''

''- Uryuu (think): *But the problem is... Hiragi Kureto. He created his own Black Demon but I don't know if he created a 100% Black Demon or a Zeta-Black Demon. Hiragi is one step ahead. He owns 4 Black Demons now. I have to take care of him myself when the time comes. This is so....*''

''- Uryuu:...... COOL!''

Atala got startled by his "cool" and quickly looked at Uryuu.

- Atala: WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?!

Part 4
<p style="text-align:center;"> 50 minutes later 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Japan 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Tenguu City 

<p style="text-align:center;"> KnightWalker Funeral Parlor HQ 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 31, Octuber  

<p style="text-align:center;"> 05:40 PM 

'' Some hours later after that incident at the Imperial Hotel. No comments for what happened to Azul. ''

''After that punishment, Ibuki took all Natsuki's team in her car to the base of KFP in Tenguu City. They left the hotel a few minutes after Azul was punished by Revy and Haru. However, Azul was in the trunk of the car again. Ibuki was a little uncomfortable while driving because Azul was screaming in the trunk and it caught the attention of many people, even the police. Still, the trip was made successfully. Upon arriving at the base of KFP which was 20 kilometers away from the hotel, on the other side of Tenguu City, Ibuki and the rest of the group loose Azul. However, Azul tried to attack Revy and Haru but Natsuki slapped her head, leaving her unconscious.''

''Natsuki and the rest of the group entered the base and walked towards a room similar to a classroom with several chairs. There were several soldiers MTC (Moon Terminator Company) who came from Italy and stayed in Tenguu City. All soldiers of MTC were a little amazed when they saw Revy carrying a fainted girl with blue hair on her shoulders.''

''Revy threw Azul in one of the chairs and everyone take their seats. The people there were waiting for the beginning of the meeting. They were waiting Kamina and a female officer know as Sonya Blade.''

''Few moments later, Azul woke up and started to fight Revy again. This time, Natsuki couldn't stop her, Haru tried to stop her but he got beat too. Lulu, was in front of the class watching the scene with boredom. The soldiers were watching the fight as well.''

- Lulu: How long are they going to be fight?

- Revy: TAKE THAT!

''Revy punched Azul and fell to the ground but Azul managed kick her while she was falling. Azul got up and punched Revy's stomach while she was recovering from her attack.''



''- Azul: HA! That's what you get!''

- Lulu: That's enough guys.

''The door of the class opened and two people came in. They were Kamina and Sonya Blade.''

''- Lulu: LTC Kamina! Colonel Sonya Blade!''

''Kamina looked at Azul and Revy fighting in the back of the room. Kamina changed his vision to Lulu.''

- Kamina: Damn, this place is as rowdy as always.

Kamina and Sonya Blade walked towards Lulu.

- Lulu: LTC Kamina, you're back!

Lulu blushed.

''- Kamina: Ah, Lulu. Yeah, I'm back. The trip was boring as hell. What's the problem this time?''

''Kamina looked at Natsuki's team. Sonya Blade did the same but her expression changed to rage when saw Azul.''

- Sonya: Tsk!

''- Lulu: Hmm. About that... Well...''

''- Kamina: Ah. Those two again.''

During the fight, Azul changed her vision to Kamina and her face changed to serious.

''- Azul: Wait a second, Revy. That idiot Kamina is here.''

''Revy stopped her movement and looked at Kamina in front of the class. Azul gave 2 steps ahead and started to talk.''

''- Azul: Hey, Kamina! Weren't you going to give me my artificial demon weapon?! How long are y---''

Revy interrupted Azul.

''- Revy: Shut it, dumbass. Let me do the talking.''

Revy pushed Azul away.

''- Revy: Lieutenant Colonel Kamina, would you mind explaining your absence? Why did you neglect the class and disappear for over a week in Italy and decided to show up here, in Tenguu City? At this point, I believe we're more than ready to receive our artificial demon weapons.''



''- Kamina: Oh! You're saying you losers are ready to make a demon contract?''

- Azul: That's exactly what we're saying!

''Everyone looked at Azul beside Revy. Azul clenched her fists.''

- Azul: I don't know about Revy, but I'm ready!

- Revy: I told you to be quiet!

Azul and Revy looked at each other.

- Azul: YOU shut up!

''Azul and Revy punched each other. They started to fight again. Kamina was standing beside Sonya and Lulu.''

- Kamina: So then, do you think those two could actually resist a artificial demon's temptation, Lulu?

''- Lulu: Hmm. At the very least, their will is much stronger than mine was at sixteen...''

''- Kamina: What about Haru Zageko? ''

Lulu smiled and looked at Kamina.



- Lulu: You might be surprised to hear this, but the one with the strongest resistance is actually Haru Zageko.

''- Kamina: Oh? Well, I hate beating around the bush, so let's just put them to the test.''

''Kamina put his right hand on his scabbard from his sword artificial demon weapon and let out a evil grin. Lulu saw that and replied desperately.''

''- Lulu: W-W-Wait, no way! LTC Kamina?!''

Natsuki saw that and stood up from her chair.

''- Natsuki: Oh? LTC Kamina, are you actually planning to use your Artificial Demon weapon to attack us?''

''Natsuki said sardonically. Ibuki stood up from her chair.''

- Ibuki: That's why I'm in Kamina's unit.

''Kamina removed his sword from the scabbard and activated the cursed gear. A black aura started to move around the sword. Kamina puts the blade into the ground.''

- Sonya: This is...

- Kamina: 'Those that die... will have only their own lack of training to blame!'

Azul and Revy stopped fighting and looked at Kamina.

Haru, Azul & Revy: Huh?

''Quickly, the sword penetrated the ground, creating a purple light around the room, the lights went out and the weather was heavy, dark, cold, scary and sinister. Suddenly, several tentacles of some kind of black material came out of the floor and walls, leaving huge cracks in the floor and the wall across the room. One by one, students were passing out with the pressure. Seconds later, a female demonic voice started singing a lubbaby. ''

- Azul: What the hell?

Azul looked around with a scared expression.

- Haru: W-What is this?

Revy puts both hands on her chest while trying to resist the pressure.

- Revy: It feels like my heart is being squeezed...

''Lulu and Sonya were holding on the table to not fall. Few seconds later, Kamina removed his demonic sword from the ground and returned the sword to the scabbard. Kamina smiled.''

- Kamina: All right, that'll do.

''Suddenly, the black tentacles, tremors, the voices and shadowy purple color disappeared. Seconds later, the lights started to work again, revealing 96% of the soldiers unconscious. There were only 7 people standing between 40 soldiers. The room was completaly destroyed with all chairs and tables thrown on the floor. The walls and the ground were cracked everywhere. Kamina looked at the 7 people standing.''

''- Kamina: Well then. Those of you who are still conscious have potential. If you keep training, you might get a chance to undertake the contracting ceremony. Even better, those of you still standing are exceptional. I'll even let you try your hand at contracting a Artificial Demon Class A, the same rank as mine.''

There were 7 people standing, 2 of them were a female a male soldier, however, seconds later, they fell to the ground unconscious.

''- Kamina: Hmm. So there are only 5 people left. So, the ones still standing except Sonya Blade and Lulu are... Azul Jissele, Haru Zageko, Revy...... Hm?''



''Kamina looked at Natsuki smiling proudly standing beside them. Kamina changed his sight to Ibuki seat in her desk like a pinnochio.''

- Kamina: Both of you can go ahead and keel over.

- Natsuki: Haha.

Kamina scratched his head and closed his eyes.

''- Kamina: You didn't even use a ward and are still looking perfectly fine, Ibuki and Natsuki. That's a member of Moon Terminator Company Army's 6rd Division for you. No charm at all.''

Kamina walked towards the exit of the room.

''- Natsuki: What, no way? But I'm so cute!''

- Kamina: Drop dead.

- Natsuki: Hahaha.

Kamina stopped in front of the door.

''- Kamina: All right, let's go. You're going to get your own Artificial Demon Weapon Class A.''



(- Narrator: The Artificial Demon Weapon Class A is the most powerful artificial demon class in KnightWalker Funeral Parlor. There 3 class of Artificial Demons:


 * Class A are the strongest Cursed Gear because they contain rank 1 demons. Many of the demons are aggressive, specializing in power amplification and weapon enchantment. Not many people are capable of wielding a AD Class A weapon. Anyone who is a candidate for the Class A Demonic Weapon has been experimented on, but these candidates are exceedingly difficult to create. Successful candidates are even more rare. Anyone bearing this rank of weapon can easily kill multiple Cyborgs armed with second-class weapons;


 * Class B is the average level between Class A and Class C, they are demonic weapons of high-officers of Moon Terminator Company like captains, lieutenants, commanders, sargents, colonels and many others;

''After that, Azul, Revy, Haru, Sonya, Lulu, Ibuki and Natsuki left the room. Kamina ignored the fainted soldiers on the ground. While they were walking, Sonya Blade was looked at Kamina but she changed her sight to his sword in his belt, his Artifici''
 * Class C is the lowest level of all Artificial Demon, they are demonic weapons os cables and recruits in Moon Terminator Army).



''- Sonya (think): That weapon is his Demonic Weapon, his Artificial Demon; Sayaka Kirasaka. If I remember right; Sayaka Kirasaka was the girlfriend of Kamina 25 years ago. She died 22 years ago. When I hear this story I asked what really happened to Sayaka. The officials told me that Sayaka betrayed the KFP and joined the KnightWalkers as a spy. A few months later, Hiragi Kureto found her and turned her into a demon Artificial as punishment for treason. Kamina could not forget her and made Sayaka his demonic weapon." That was the version they told me... However, this is obviously a lie, this story is darker. Sayaka, actually was BETRAYED. Sayaka was Kamina's girlfriend and joined the Moon Terminator Company two decades ago. However, Hiragi Kureto used her as a guinea pig in the Artificial Demon experiment in order to transform her into a powerful Artificial Demon. ''

''Sonya puts her fingers in her chin. Lulu noticed Sonya's expression.''

- Lulu: Colonel Sonya, what's wrong?

Sonya looked at Lulu with surprise.



''- Sonya: A-Ahh. Nothing, I'm okay.''

After that, Sonya changed her vision to Kamina's sword again.

''- Sonya (think): ...However, Sayaka escaped but she lost her sanity and would eventually turn herself into a demon. 2 years later, Sayaka dissapeared and became obsessed with the Tech of the End that Hiragi Kureto was trying to do, and tried to create her OWN Black Demon. At some point, Sayaka kidnapped 20 infants and tried to fuse the Magi-Tech of the Tech of the End with the babies, however, 18 infants died in her experiment and only 2 of the infants survived the experiment, however, before she could put the experiment into practice, Hiragi located and sealed Sayaka in a demonic weapon. And so, Sayaka turned an Artificial Demon, in other words, a AD. However, Hiragi never located the two babies that Sayaka used as guinea pigs, actually, nobody knows where they are. Days later, Kamina couldn't leave her and took her as his Demonic Weapon.''

Sonya changed her expression to rage.

''- Sonya (think): Despite Sayaka was once a powerful member of Moon Terminator Company and was unjustly betrayed by our superior, I don't like her. Sayaka is now an insane artificialdemon that is capable of doing all kinds of atrocities to get what she wants. I do not discount the idea that she is possibly manipulating LTC Kamina.''

Part 5 (Final)
<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile in France 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Paris 

<p style="text-align:center;"> KnightWalker Supreme Building of Juria KnightWalker 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meeting Room 



''There is a heavy atmosphere being filled right now in the meeting room of the KnightWalker Supreme Building of France HQ. It was as if the atmosphere really has the aspect of viscosity in it. Breathing would feel hard as if the lungs would be filled with a muddy feeling in just one breath. If someone was thrown into this room without knowing anything then, they might seriously get dyspepsia. All of the males in suit sitting in the row have several things in common. One of it was, all of them were British. Another one was, all of them are board directors in KnightWalker Family. And one more---all of them had gypsum bandages covering all members of their bodies.''

- (???): So.....

''A handsome young man at his prime and a black suit-board member Ashaus was the one who broke the long silence. Ashaus is a KnightWalker Director and a powerful member on KnightWalker Family.''

''- Ashaus: Everyone, is it alright to leave it like this? Are you planning to keep quiet even though we are done in like this? Uryuu Ryounussuke killed Sir Redwood a day ago! And he threatened us!''

''He shouted in detest and showed his right arm which was being hoisted from his neck just like everyone else. What Ashaus was talking about was the murder of the KnightWalker Director, Redwood, that Uryuu ordered Atala to murder a day ago in his building in Paris. Yes. All of the board directors here right now pushed a investigation request on Uryuu's mananging director of Uryuu's faction a few days back and it overturned with physical violence used. What happened? After Uryuu killed Redwood a day ago, Uryuu ordered his troops to threaten the rest of the KnightWalker Directors to stop them from investigate him. Uryuu's soldiers beat the directors for several hours, some of them had their bones broke.''

(- Narrator: There is no need to write it, too much plot! :P).

- (???): …………. Even if you say that.



''A bald, large and fat man wearing a white suitKingpin, looked towards Ashaus. His sights looked slightly angry-- and it’s filled with criticism towards Ashaus. Kingpin is a powerful crime lord but it's at the same time, a KnightWalker Director. He is one of the KnightWalker Board of Directors.''

''Although everyone in the meeting did not voice it out, it was not hard to imagine all of them hold the same feeling. But that was only natural. In the first placeAshaus was the who drew the plan for the request of Uryuu’s investigation. Few days ago, Ashaus tried to investigate the murder of a KnightWalker soldier that Uryuu was involved, however, Uryuu replied with violence by sending his men to beat the directors. After that, Uryuu went to Japan without caring about them.''

''Uryuu is the strongest Cyborg in the world and build up the Uryuu's Faction, his achievements are immeasurable. But, to the board directors of KnightWalker Family now, his arrogant existence which swings his absolute authority without thinking about external influences was just a nuisance. At that time, outrageous news about Uryuu that he was ready to cause deplorable events in Japan came over. News saying that Uryuu moved his faction to Tokyo to attack Japan. Many of them thought that Uryuu was trying to protect the Cyborgs that the KnightWalker Funeral Parlor was trying to kill, however, Uryuu had another goals.''

Kingpin ooze out a given up expression while swinging his head.

''- Kingpin: You should have renewed your thoughts from this matter. He is a monster. He is different from us. He is a Cyborg. His thoughts, value system, and his authority to make that reality... Everything. We were the foolish one for looking at a dream even if it was for an instant.''

Ashaus grasped his left hand while looking back at Kingpin.



''- Ashaus: But even so. I am planning to have him receive the appropriate punishment. I'm going to avenge Sir Redwood.''

''The board directors made a small sigh at Ashaus' words. Most likely, it could be taken as a brave front from Ashaus.''

''- Director 1: Punishment……..huh. What are you planning to do?''

''The director said that while shrugging his shoulders. However, he did not say it with a front or in an act of courage. He shook his throat after glaring at the board directors lined up. ''

''- Ashaus: Since Sir Juria KnightWalker is busy organizing the attack to KFP in Japan, I'm going to take control of this operation. Uryuu Ryounusuke, right now is in Japan, if I am correct. It seems he is at a place where the KFP plans to attack, Tokyo.''

- Director 2: Is there a problem with that?

''- Ashaus: This is worrying.-it would be a big problem if he is by any chance, dragged into a nuclear accident or some kind of accident. Neh~''

“…………..!!”

The board directors gasped at the words with the deep meaning and strong accent.

- Kingpin: Ashaus, don’t tell me you...

''Kingpin said that in a terrified manner. Not only him, but everyone in the spot probably understood. Ashaus was suggesting the assassination of Uryuu.''

“………………”

''After a while, silence flowed into the meeting room. Everyone was swimming their sights at other board directors to await their responses. Nonetheless, it was easy to imagine his plan of [Taking away someone's life] was not something he was hesitant about. If he did not have that kind of admirable emotions then, he would not be sitting in the seats of KnightWalker company board directors. Fear was simply the only thing they were worried about.--the thing is, by the occasion the assassination has failed, they were scared that Uryuu's might take revenge on them. But. After some time, one of the board directors raised his voice.''



''- Director 3: That’s right. It is worrying. Very worrying.''

Those unnatural words could only mean he agrees with Ashaus' plan.

- Director 4: Aah, it is just as you say.

''One person after another then states words of worry for Uryuu and soon, everyone showed approval to Ashaus' plan. Ashaus raised the side of his lips. It was just as he aimed. Normally, there might be board directors that won’t ride on Ashaus' plan. But, the recent experience of being beat during the previous board meeting has changed their thoughts. Which means the fear of them having to continue accompanying the monster known as Uryuu from now on, has won against the fear of opposing against him. However, even though he managed to get the consensuses of everyone, there were still tons of problems. Kingpin made a difficult face.''

- Kingpin: But, even if that is the case, do you have a way?



''That question was normal. For the KnightWalker Company, in order to fix a problem which is expected to be unable to be concluded with peaceful means then, the ones that would execute that on that occasion would be none other than the soldiers affiliated with the 2nd executive team even though this method is rarely used. Eckidina, Uryuu and Artemeshia are the ones responsables for commanding the KnightWalker Army... And all of them are sadistic and evil. Again; Evil.''

''- Kingpin: The Cyborgs in the Uryuu's Faction are all Uryuu's sympathizers. Mostly likely, no matter how much bait we scatter out, none of them would betray him.''

Towards Kingpin’s words, a white hair board member nodded.

''- Director 5: And even if we managed to get their cooperation... "she" is always beside Uryuu.''



''"She". Just with that simple word, all of the board directors gulped.''

''Yes, they are talking about Atala Arck. She is Uryuu's trusted retainer and also the culprit who chopped off Redwood's head a day ago. Inside the KnightWalker Family---no, out of all the humans, she is probably prided as the Fourth Strongest Cyborg. As long as she is beside Uryuu, But, even though they want to attack Uryuu, they could not forget about her existence. Ashaus distorted his lips.''

- Ashaus: Do you all know our new Desvatator Nuke, currently on the satellite orbit?

- Kingpin: What?

''Kingpin raised his eyebrows doubtfully. It was as if he was trying to say, what are you saying all of a sudden. However, Ashaus did not stop to bother and continued on.''

''- Ashaus: Accurately speaking, there are 23 units. And sooner or late, 8 of them will finish its mission and is in a condition of waiting to be disposed of.''

''- Director 3: Wait for a moment. I can’t see what you are saying. How is that related to this?''



''The board directors made confused expressions on their face. It seems there is still no one that understood him even though he said that much. Ashaus made a fearless smile.''

- Ashaus: We drop the Devastator Nuke <DSA-IV> which is planned for disposal onto Tokyo.

“……….!!”

''The board directors stiffened their faces in an instant. But, Kingpin swung his head after a while.''

''- Kingpin: Just when I was thinking what you were going to say... Are you seriously thinking that is possible?! The Earth has an atmosphere, you know. Something like an bomb would just burn up before even reaching the ground! Even if there are wreck parts left, there is no way you can drop it accurately at the spot Uryuu is located!''

- Ashaus: Is that really the case.



- Kingpin: What?

''- Ashaus: Let me explain the plan. First off-''

''Ashaus dubiously raised his eyebrows. Ashaus *nii* made a grin while continuing. When he did that, the color of the board member faces changed colors in a blink of an eye. The moment they started hearing Ashaus' explanation, they probably noticed this plan was not a dream story. Few moments later...''

''- Ashaus: That is all. Any questions?''

Ashaus said that, and one of the board directors raised his voice while having sweat flowing down his face.

''- Director 5: I see, it’s true this might be possible if we do this. But, won’t this method cause an enormous damage to Japan.''

''- Director 4: That’s right! It’s true that this might get rid of Uryuu and Atala but, the damage is too big! Even if this succeeds, how are you going to explain it to the world!''

''A bald man raged his voice in agreement. But, that response was within expectations. Ashaus made a leisure nod while replying.''



''- Ashaus: On an applicable time, we will dispatch one ship in Tokyo's sky and have it constantly deploy its Territory; we will use it to conceal the existence of the Devastator Nuke from the observation device on the land. And after that, we will have the nuke alarm ring, and have the surrounding citizens evacuate. Well, of course, I don’t know how long a shelter made for a nuke would withstand that.''

- Directors: Wha……..!

- Ashaus: "Oh! what a tragedy. The Tokyo metropolitan was attacked by a grand nuke from KnightWalker Funeral Parlor, the rebel organizationt that seeks to destroy the KnightWalkef Family. What’s more, it is a grand disaster strong enough to blast off the shelter."

He continued on as if he was in a drama.



- Ashaus: "On top of that tragedy, our Strongest Cyborg, Uryuu Ryounusuke was there. Aah, how heartbreaking. Losing a genius like him is a very big loss to KnightWalker Family. But, we cannot keep grieving over it. Let's succeed his dying wish and devote ourselves in advancing KnightWalker Family to a higher growth."

''After Ashaus ended his speech by saying that, the faces of the board directors turned pale and looked at Ashaus. But no matter how long it took, there was no one who insisted it was a very inhuman method. Ashaus' plan was to bomb Tokyo with the Devastator Nuke to kill Uryuu and his forces. He planned to blame the rebel organization, the KnightWalker Funeral Parlor for the attack.''

''After that meeting, Ashaus left the room with a happy face. Two security guards accompanied him when Ashaus left the room and put on his long coat. While Ashaus walked through the halls of the building, the rest of the directors were in the room thinking about this inhuman plan. Of course, all of them are insecure about that plan. Ashaus was a sadistic murder and would do everything for power. Ashaus' true plan was to kill Uryuu and use his post to put the Uryuu's Faction of Cyborgs under his thumb, so Juria KnightWalker will recognize him as a worthy director and will makle him the future leader of KnightWalker Family.''

Ashaus was walking through the hallway while he was chatting with his guards.

''- Guard 1: This is amazing, Mister Ashaus. Your plan is perfect.''



''- Ashaus: Hmm. I wonder if I will be praised for my work.''

''- Guard 2: You will be praised, without doubt. Sir Juria KnightWalker will recognize your post, Director.''

''- Ashaus: You think so? You're right. I think we have overcome in this time. Uryuu's dream is to turn the world into a world of death and chaos. ''

''- Guard 2: When he goes to hell, he will feel a world of death and chaos for all eternity... in his own skin.''

- Ashaus, Guard 1 & 2: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
