(scene: outside tetsukan.)
Right where we left off.. Aris stands before The crew. Infinity line stretched. "Alright dirt bag. Time to answer some questions." Katsuro raises his head, eyes narrow. "That must be the captain..!" He glances at Hayate.. Unconscious. Kohaku's face turns into worry.. Kaizen exhaling, and steps back. "That line.. it was fast." Aris: "You're with Manji.. i see now. No questions needed now. I understand." He glances at the fresh hole now in his building. Makimi standing there.. Aris: "Makimi. Go. Find that stupid red-cherry and tell him all about this. Its on him after all." Makimi's eyes widen.. "huh..? Y- YES SIR!" she leaps through the broken wall, and takes off running. Kaizen and Aris lock eyes.. the air tightens. Aris: "now then. Me and you.. Yeah?" Kaizen smirks "I take it you're the leader of this territory..?" Aris: "That'll be me. What's Manji's reason for the sudden visit?" Kaizen: "Its war with the dragons." Aris: "Tch.. THE HELL DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH TETSUKAN!?" Kaizen's gaze sharpens.. "You tell me.. What's the bond?" Aris' eyes narrow.. a single idea in his mind. Kai. Aris exhales slowly, smirking. he whispers "You weak hindrance.." *BVVT!* The infinity line lashes forward- SLICEEE! Blood sprays as Kaizen is sent launched backward! Kohaku screams "KAIZEN!!!" Katsuro's eyes widen "TCH!" *BVVT!* The line vanishes, Aris charges forward! Driving his hilt into Kaizens stomach- *BVTTT! SLICEEE!* The line bursts through him! Kaizen coughs blood. Aris smirking "Gotta be good at summoning and undoing A line.. y'know!?" *BVVT!* it vanishes again- *BAMM!* He drives his foot into Kaizens chest, sending him crashing into a building! Aris: "AFTER ALL, I ONLY HAVE ONE!!" *BOOOOOM!* The line bursts upward, SPLITTING THE BUILDING IN HALF. Dust and debris rain.. Aris exhaling.. Kohaku stands frozen.. As the rubble settles.. She bursts forward. Katsuro pulls Hayate over his shoulder.. Limping that way. "No.. What have you done.." Aris glances to him "You'd better run, you're next." Katsuro's expression turns dark.. worried. "No.. now you've awakened something we'll all have to deal with.." Aris' eyes narrow. Kohaku digs frantically through the rubble "MONDO!!" She finds him, scooping him into her arms. Clothes torn, eyes slowly opening.. He slowly pushes himself upright. Kohaku's face filled with horror as Kaizen stands.. slowly removing his white robe, dropping it as his eyes stare directly into Aris' soul. Aris smirks in return. Kaizen slowly raises his arms.. "You have a rare and powerful line. But me..? I do aswell." Aris: "Hm..?" *QUAKKKKEEE!* The ground begins to rumble.. A cyan line starts forming.. not straight.. Curving. Bending.. Forming a circle. Aris' eyes widen "What..? Is.. That..?" Suddenly.. All light fades, darkness swallowing the scene. Kaizen floats before the circle line.. His voice echoes "I can only use this once.. let there be carnage." *BOOOOOOM!* It all ignites. A condensed blast erupts forward, shaking the entire scene. Katsuro leaps away, Kohaku throws her arms up- blasted back! light blinds everything.. Then- silence. Dust clears.. Shockingly- minimal destruction. The street still intact.. Buildings still standing. Kaizen stands in the center.. Panting and bruised. The circle line is gone. He scans the surroundings "What.. Nothing.. i barely destroyed this place.. HOW!?" He looks up.. Aris stands on the rooftop. Clothes dirtied, panting lightly, but standing. Kaizen: "How..?" Aris smirks, coughing blood. "I.. absorbed it all.. with the infinity line. That's my technique. Ininite absorption." He tilts his head "Guess it was the perfect match for some cheap shit like that.." He points his hilt at Kaizens face. Thinking inside: "Truthfully.. I think my line snapped in the blast. But he doesn't know that.." Kaizen looks around, dread settling in. Aris: "Any last words..?" Kaizen whispers to himself.. "i wonder who made it out.. If they can save me right now.." he closes his eyes.. *BOOOM!* HAYATE BURSTS OUT THE RUBBLE! Scooping Kaizen and dashing out of there. Aris watches.. exhaling "to hell with it." He drops onto his butt on the rooftop, looking down at his territory, he nods. "I did my part. Saved my friends."
Meanwhile, in an alleyway.. Manji regroups. All breathing heavily.. Katsuro: "You good, Kaizen..?" Kaizen nods a little.. "Mhm." Hayate clenches his fists "That bastard was strong.. I should go back-" Kaizen: "No. We're going home." He rubs his head.. eyes distant. He pushes himself up- And collapes to his knees. Hayate rushes to his side "Kaizen!" Kohaku kneels beside him "You need to rest.. We'll go after that." Katsuro scans around "Then we should move to the rubble." The others nod. Kaizen: "tch.. alright."
