Chapter 28: Theories
Jack: "Where…"
Jack wakes up, again in his soul-area,
Dragonhead(3): "Even though we gave you our power, you still managed to lose somehow, weak"
Jack: "What have you done with me? I wasn't human, what was that?"
Dragonhead(2): "All this time, you have been using the powers we gave you, what we did was simply emerging some of our soul with your soul, making you to us"
Jack: "You mean I was a dragon?"
Dragonhead(1): "Not a dragon, but a beast."
Dragonhead(2): "Kael called it the Beast-mode, a form that increases your strength significantly"
Dragonhead(3): "But unlike Kael, you haven't been able to control our power, pathetic"
Jack: "You could have warned me at-least"
Dragonhead(2): "You were too frustrated and there was no time…"
Jack: "Still, this beast-mode didn't help me against him, what even is he"
Dragonhead(2): "He has inhuman strength and his aura is non-standardly high"
Jack: "Why? How can he be this strong?"
Dragonhead(1): "You should have known by now, but you haven't noticed"
Jack: "What do you mean?"
Dragonhead(2): "Just like you, he is a supernatural"
Jack: "A what?"
Dragonhead(2): "All living beings have a soul, humans, demi's, even trees and plants have one, but once in a while, a living being with an enormous high aura-level is born, those are marked by their soul with a simple black mark behind their ear and since they shown great strength and power from a very young age, people like that have been called supernaturals"
Jack: "That guy and also me are supernaturals?"
Dragonhead(1): "Not only you, but Henry, Emilia, Ichiro and even Lenny, but you haven't noticed"
Jack: "B-but how?"
Dragonhead(2): "One of Kaels theories is, that people with a high standard level of soul-energy attract each other, basically by fate"
Jack: " Why have I never heard of any of that?"
Dragonhead(2): "It was Kael who made those theories and explanation, many of those he shared with others and some he took with into his grave"
Jack: "So that Kael did something useful after all"
Dragonhead(3): "Don't speak so harshly about Kael, pathetic boy"
Jack: "Oh shut up, just let me wake up already, would you?"
Dragonhead(2): "Very well, your friends are waiting I am sure about that"
…
Jack wakes up, he feels a little numb, but he gets up and sits in his bed, looking around the room.
He sees Ichiro who is wrapped in bandages, sleeping in peace.
Jack: "This must be the Mitsunaga's hospital room"
He says before standing up and looking outside the window.
It's night, probably around 2 am so everyone is already asleep.
Jack: "I wonder what happened after the fight"
Ichiro: "The servant, Soshi, he arrived and carried both of us here, or that's what they told me since I fainted after Arashi left because from my wounds"
Jack: "He left? What happened"
Jack says, turning around to Ichiro who still lies in his bed,
Ichiro: "He wanted to kill you, so I made him an offer to fight him tomorrow in form of a sword fight"
Jack: "So I owe you another…wait did you say sword fight?"
Ichiro: "Yeah, it was a gamble, but he surprisingly took the offer"
Jack: "You are pretty much beaten up and nearly got killed and now you want to fight him one on one in a sword fight?"
Ichiro: "The others already scolded me for it"
He says while looking embarrassed to the ceiling from his laying position,
Jack: "I don't get this guy, who is he anyways"
Ichiro: "Arashi Mitsunaga, the monster in form of a man, I met him once when I was here
as a small kid, he was already pretty strong, but he changed, I heard rumors from him
afterwards, brutal rumors but he exceeded every expectation I had, he is a madman"
Jack: "So Henry and I were right, he is a Mitsunaga"
Ichiro: "I warned Henry on the ship to not fight him, but I don't know why he just attacked me"
Jack: "We have to get out of here, if we continue to stay here, he will kill us"
Ichiro: "It's too late, since he knows our aura now, we won't be able to escape. The deal I made with him includes that he won't attack us before we had our fight but also that we don't leave before"
Jack: "Good job, I guess"
Ichiro: "You too, you gave him a hard time"
Jack: "Yeah? I don't know how"
…
Lenny wakes up, still in thr dark and cold room.
Before him is the crystal, but he notices something, the thing that was inside of it
is gone and the crystal has a gigantic crack inside of it.
Lenny: "Kelvin? What happened?"
Lenny waits but he doesn't get an answer,
Lenny: "Oh shit, it must be night already, Jack probably is worried"
He says, quickly leaving the room, running up the stairs and running back to the guest residency.
…
The sun slowly rises behind the horizon, waking up Mrs. Mitsunaga.
At the same time, someone knocks on her door,
Soshi: "Your tea, Mrs. Mitsunaga-sama"
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "Come in Soshi"
Soshi enters the room with a tray, on top of it is a can and a cup,
Mrs. Mitsunaga makes herself comfortable by sitting in her gigantic bed, taking the tray from Soshi and pouring tea from the can into the cup,
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "So tell me, what was that light yesterday and has it something to do with that earthquake?"
Soshi: "Very well Mrs. Mitsunaga-sama. Yesterday, Arashi and master Jack got into a fight, leading to that purple light and even the earthquake"
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "This Arashi, only causing trouble and now even getting in-between my plans. Atleast tell me who won"
Soshi: "Very well Mrs. Mitsunaga-sama, it was Arashi who had won against master Jack"
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "He lost? Arashi might be more troublesome than whe thought, Soshi"
Soshi: "Another news Mrs. Mitsunaga-sama, the Plasma King has escaped"
Mrs. Mitsunaga spits out her tea in shock, completely wetting Soshi,
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "HE DID WHAT? HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE"
