Chapter 45: Second Day: Young Brotherhood.
Second day/Year. The Six powers.
Primordial Realm, Unknown Island in the depths of the Dragonic Sea. A Horror downed on Earth… Corpses everywhere, blood, bones as crows began devouring what was left of the 'Mighty' Killing God. On top of them, two men stood indifferent, blood all over their clothes and their faces. Silva and Zeno looked over the massacred organization:
"That's quite the intricate network they got there."
Zeno nodded:
"Quite the network indeed. Their skills are subpar but at least they know how to operate in this business. If the other two do their job well, we may see the beginning of something quite interesting."
Silva had a question gaze:
"You've been mentioning 'those other two' quite a lot. Are they that good?"
Zeno sighed:
"Really Good. The woman gives a young air, but I could tell that she is an extremely experienced at the craft. The man looks strong, strong enough to beat Netero himself. He is like a War Hero."
Silva smiled:
"Adding 'that' Lelouch and Schneizel. His majesty has great people around him.
Zeno nodded, quite thrilled about the next step:
-Our job here is done, let's get back Silva. Those kids won't teach themselves."
17 September Year 7689 of the Saharian Imperial Calendar.
The organization that has been terrorizing the Astaroth Continent for 2000 years has let it last breath.
Culprit : The Soon-to-be-feared Zoldyck Family.
Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
On the normally deserted fifth courtyard there was an interesting show going on that attracted the attention of all the students.
The Emperor was actually participating in a match!
Numerous attacks downed on him as he kept dodging just in time for him to dodge the second. He wasn't attacking. Simply staying on the receiving end. His two Empress watching everything unfold from higher up with a tender gaze. Garp by their side, full of pride, Zeno on the other in wonder.
The Emperor kept a composed smiling face.
"Soru!!
Behind him a 12 year old appeared using her legs in a powerful kick :
Rangyaku!!"
Marek lightly bent backwards, let the devastatingly powerful slash pass!
"A little too excited, aren't you Eivor? I told you try to keep a cold head at any situation. This is what an elite assassin should act like."
The cute blonde girl nodded before disappearing in the air. A boyish voice was heard:
"Kamisori!!"
As a handsome boy with silky black hair appeared directly after the first attack, his index erected like a mighty weapon:
"Shigan! Madara"
His hands moved at High Speed as Marek nodded in approval:
"Always great vision Ezio! But you lack the decisiveness to go through with your actions. So, your timing is always a little off."
Ezio smiled handsomely:
"Oh but I am not alone, your majesty~"
Skillfully hidden behind him a gorgeous brunette girl with long braided hear, a teasing smile on:
"Gotcha your Majesty~"
Her ten slender fingers put together, she lightly pronounced:
"Rokuoagan~"
The impact impressed the whole viewers! Garp and Zeno nodded:
'Another one who completely mastered the six powers!'
"How was my little surprise, your majesty~"
Appearing right behind her:
"Good timing, you are growing nicely. I am very satisfied, but…Why do you sound and act more like Yoruichi by the day?
-But your majesty~ Don't you like Yoruichi-sensei?"
The Emperor coughed twice before responding:
"Stop talking about things older than your age! You are making me wor-!"
He suddenly stopped a satisfied smile on as he looked up:
"Already trying to trick me with your Zetsu, aren't you?"
Everyone looked up, then they saw him, already wearing the hood of 'The Brotherhood'. He smiled courteously as one could see the respect the young boy held for his Emperor:
"Your Majesty's wisdom is unrivalled. I can't wait to wreak havoc by your side!"
He used his Gepo stomping and getting himself in Marek's direction. His two hands and his hidden blades getting dark!
Faster, swifter and more refined than anyone. Marek kept dodging as he praised:
"Perfect. Altair."
The most talented one in this two years. Given the Codename 'Altair' by the Emperor himself. The codename given to the number one in the order:
'Altair, the eagle who looks over the Empire with his piercing gaze!'
Garp sighed deeply:
"Already mastering the Three Forms of Haki at 12 . Not even Roger or Edward Newgate could compare."
Zeno sighed deeply as he looked intently at the young boy:
'Each of his movement, his stealth, his composure. It's as his majesty said 'Perfect'. I didn't even need to teach him yet, he has this in his bones. And he is serious and hardworking too.
It pains me to say it, but he might even be more talented than Killua.'
He clenched his hands as dark sparks could be seen all over him. Marek augmented his speed:
"Already trying to fuse the Haoshuku with the Busoshuku. Good! Good!"
He laughed lightly:
"Nothing could escape your gaze, your majesty…-"
Suddenly he disappeared and a too familiar voice sounded:
"But me~!!"
A gorgeous cat like woman appeared furtively on top of him trying to drop kick him. Marek augmented his speed again, and complained:
"Aren't you ashamed woman ?! Using your own students to play tricks!"
Yoruichi hmphed as she responded:
"If that's the case! Then why do you keep stealing my head band every day!"
Marek smiled mockingly:
"It's only morning workout! But it seems less effective these days since you seem to get slower with time"
Yoruichi had competitive face:
"We will see today! Soru!!"
And so they kept playing as all the kids joined in too. Marek sighed:
'She keeps getting faster. Especially after learning the Six Powers, it's like giving wings to a tiger…'
He looked at her concentrated face again:
' A real cute tiger.'
He smiled widely as he kept playing with the Black Cat:
"So you managed to fuse the Shunpo with the Soru. Not bad."
Yoruichi who knew how much of a compliment that actually was, continued her play. Marek continued to comment:
"You are thinking that combining the technics of the Six Powers with Reatsu could somehow make you faster."
She focused her attention on his words:
"Indeed, you are right. As I said to you before, Shinigami techniques doesn't suit your fighting style. And changing your techniques with the Shunko could skyrocket your power to the likes of Kyoraku and Kuchiki."
Yoruichi had an excited face. To be true, since she came here, she had the impression to be more of a student than a teacher. Marek is someone who fights with his fists like her, she never felt training to be that rewarding. It's like the techniques and his instructions were unleashing some kind of shackles she had on her body. Everyday, she felt more powerful than before, giving her much more reason to keep challenging this man.
'…And he is so cute when he is serious like that~'
"Oy, Yoruichi, you are dozing off again. That's why I don't like praising you!'
She laughed sheepishly.
'…Cute, indeed~"
"You may think, it's good. But for me, it's not nearly good enough. The problem lies within your energy source."
"But I am a Shingami, a soul to say. I can't use Nen, after all it is 'Life Energy' manipulation. And 'Haki' is only a way for humans to use Spiritual Energy. Ki is also unusable without a 'Body'"
Marek grinned childishly:
"At least you know when your problems lie. That's a good start."
Yoruichi narrowed her eyes:
"So you do have a solution in mind…"
Marek kept grinning:
"Hehe…Do you think I made us spare everyday only for show? And do you think I really need to use my Sharingan against you?"
She lightly pouted:
"You don't have to word it like that!"
"Just keep following my stead. And I will promise you, even that bastard Aizen wouldn't dare take you lightly!"
She was thrilled as she continued:
"You said those words, now you can't take them back~…"
