As Tarozaemon and Daemon trade blows between Tarozaemon's Masamune and Daemon's wind blades.

Daemon laughs as this goes on. "Quit now, Taro. As soon as you get tired, I'll just finish you up."

"My stamina or your SOUL. What do you think will run out first?" He said, still trading hits with the wind blades.

"I trained for a long time, maybe you need to find for yourself."

Tarozaemon laughs. "Then let's go, brother! Let's fight each other and see who's actually stronger!"

"See who's actually stronger? Haha, poor Taro. That's obviously me!" As a wind blade hits Masamune with too much strength, the sword goes flying.

Tarozaemon grist his teeth, as a wind blade approaches his face at high speeds.

"DIE!" Daemon screamed.

YEARS AGO: XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX, TVARYN

At a big residence, a mature man sat down as his wife was taking care of their small daughter that only had 6 years old.

Two 13 years old boys are fighting each other using practice wood swords.

One of the boys had short white hair like snow, and light blue eyes like the sea.

The other kid had medium-lenght black hair like charcoal, and red eyes like fire.

As they traded blows, the man looked upon them. This man had black hair with a short samurai ponytail on its back and also light blue eyes.

Their mother had white long hair and a pair of scarlet eyes. The kid she was taking care of had the same colors as her mother.

"Why are the big brothers always fighting, mommy?" The kid asks.

"Well, Shina, your big brothers need to protect you from all dangers. That's why daddy is teaching them how to fight.

"Woooow! The big bros are so cool!"

As they clashed their wooden swords, their eyes shined with the color of their respective SOULs.

"「GIGAS'...」!" Tarozaemon screamed.

"「GAIA'S...」!" Daemon prepared to attack as well.

PRESENT DAY: MAIN PLAZA, ROYAL CITY OF FELITICIA, TVARYN

"「... SPIKES」!" Tarozaemon slashed downwards.

"「... SLASH」!" Daemon slashes sideways.

As both sword hit each other, the damage is done. Behind Daemon, a giant wave of rock spikes start appearing on the ground, while behind Tarozaemon, the ground would suddenly have a giant cut on it, as a giant wind blade slashed hit.

As they got closer to each other's face, they'd grit their own teeth, looking at each other's face.

They'd jump back as they positioned themselves yet again in their personal stances.

"No bad, Taro! You got good while we were distanced!"

"Tch, can't say the same about you." Tarozaemon smirks.

"Oh, you also got a sense of humor as well! Fantastic..." He got serious again.

As they jumped forward again, their eyes started to shine yet again.

YEARS AGO: KITAGAWA RESIDENCE, TVARYN

"Mister Taemon, Miss Kirari, I can see your sons are doing well." An old man enters the training premises. "What about the issue?"

"They'll leave the house in a week. After that, they will be on their own." Taemon said, overlooking his twin sons.

Kirari brushed Shinamon's hair gently as she gently hummed a song to her. She'd then turn to the old man. "We heard that the Naegi household was attacked, is this true?"

"Yes." The old man answered, making a silent stop. "I've heard the parents were killed and their family stone stolen."

"We can be the next ones." Taemon calmly says. "It seems they want the family stone. Well, they aren't gonna have it."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"I'm gonna give to one of them before they leave." He looks at his sons.

"I see... How will you make that decision?"

"I'd prefer to keep that to myself, if you don't mind, Felyur."

"No! Not at all, sir!" Felyur slightly bowed.

As the kids fought against each other their eyes started to shine with their respective SOUL colors.

"Prepare to go down, Taro!" Daemon mocked him. "「SWEEPING...」!"

"You wished, Daemon!" He also prepared his own attack, stepping the ground with all his strength. "Here I go!"

PRESENT DAY: MAIN PLAZA, ROYAL CITY OF FELITICIA, TVARYN

"「... TORNADO」!" Daemon slashed his sword horizontally towards the ground, creating a small, but vicious tornado that spun towards Tarozaemon's feet.

He smirked as he front flipped, eyes shining orange. As he landed, he casted his Drive. "「SHIFTING FLOOR」!"

The floor beneath Daemon quickly divided itself into minuscule parts without him knowing, and they'd suddenly move all around, making Daemon trip.

As he was falling, Tarozaemon takes out his sword and prepares to slash his brother. "AHHHHHHH!"

Daemon moves his arms around, creating a sphere of swirling air that'd deflect Tarozaemon's sword and also help him rotate his own body to fall with his feet on the ground.

"That was a bold move, Taro... You're getting me pissed!"

"Oh really? I'm only getting started though." He laughed.

"You think you're so cool and important and strong and... It pisses me off! I was the one that should've received the family stone! Not you!"

"Wait... You're telling me that you hated me for all these years, because of the family stone?"

"Of course! Why did father trust you with such an important thing, but not me?! I was always the best fighter! But no... his favorite was always you..."

"He gave it to me, because he knew I wouldn't act like that if I wasn't chosen. I'd be pretty happy for my brother if that was the case."

"I hate you. You're the physical embodiment of everything wrong in this world."

"Says the guy that gets paid to kill people, including children."

"You know how it is, Taro. In the Outlands, everything is fair game."

"Not for those children. Or even the adults. Hetza's parents were killed, because of such a lack of rules in the Outlands. I honestly don't know how she doesn't get that."

"Hetza is other. Why love you when she had me at her side?" He gripped his sword hard.

"You seriously have a complex, dude. You didn't love her. You were only after what you thought was mine." He got into a stance, ready to finish this fight, as his eyes change to orange.

"I'll kill you. But only after I destroy everything that is dear to you in front of your eyes." His eyes shined green, while he got into his stance.

As they both slash downwards from a distance, one of them was faster to cast their own SOUL Drive faster.

"「GIGAS' SPIKES」!" Several of Tarozaemon's rock spikes appeared all around Daemon, piercing his body all around, making him stop and spit blood.

"H-How...?" Daemon would say, before passing out. Tarozaemon put his sword in its scabbard, as his body flickered orange for a second.

Back to Kenichi and Bernardus...

"Why are you fighting me, Bernardus?! What did Ihote promised for you to betray us?!"

"I didn't betray you... You were always a pawn to me..."

"That's a lie!" He screamed, his voice echoing in the plaza, Bernardus' eyes widening. "I can see it in your eyes! What's wrong?! I canー"

"You can't do jack shit!" Bernardus screams. "He has information on a friend of mine! I need to do this if I wanna see her again! I didn't want to hurt you, but if that means seeing her again, I'll do it!"

YEARS AGO: MAIN PLAZA, ROYAL CITY OF FELITICIA, TVARYN

Bernardus is resting on a bench, looking at the sunset sky.

A girl approaches him. Long blonde hair that covered half of her back, with yellow furred ears and a long tail. The hair, ears and tail have small brown and black spots on them. "Hey, Bernardus!"

"Uh? Oh, hello, Your Highness!"

"Can you call me by my name, please? We're the same age!" She says, pinching his cheeks.

"Okay, okay! Sorry, Bella!"

She stops. "Good!" They both laugh. "And then again, I'm only adopted, I'm not really royalty."

"Still counts. For all we know, you're the next Queen of Feliticia!"

"Don't even joke about that!" She blushes. "I'd need my king, though..."

"You'll get one eventually! I'll protect you until that day arrives." He smiles.

She sighs, still smiling. "Boy, you're dense..."

"Uh?"

"Forget it! Here! I wanted to give you this." She gives him a necklace with a fang on its end.

"What's this?"

"A gift, duh!"

"Oh, really? I thought it was garbage."

"Hey!" She punches him softly a couple times in the shoulder, while he laughs.

"I'm joking, I'm joking!"

"That's a fang from a shark."

"A shark?! How did you get this?! This is rare as hell!"

"I had someone get it for me. One of the perks of being a princess!" She laughs.

Bernardus laughs as well. "Maybe you're right."

"Hey, Bernardus..."

"Uh?"

"Should we get married in the future?" She says, looking at the sky.

Bernardus keeps his silence, looking at the ground for a bit. As he made his mind up, he turns to her with a smile on his face. "Yeah, totally!"

She laughs, a tear leaving one of her eyes. He smiles looking at her.

PRESENT DAY: MAIN PLAZA, ROYAL CITY OF FELITICIA, TVARYN

"I'll meet her again! Even if that costs my own life afterwards!" Bernardus says, tears filling his yellow lighted eyes.

Kenichi's eyes slowly turn silver as he gets ready to dash towards Bernardus. Closing his right fist, Kenichi's whole right arm is enveloped by a silver aura. "Time to end this..."

As Bernardus dashes forward, ready to end this fight himself, Kenichi's smile would made him remember Bella's, making him hesitate for a second.

As Kenichi didn't hesitate, though, he'd punch Bernardus right on the face. A white flash appearing in the zone of impact for a couple seconds. After that, Bernardus would fly away with so much strength that he'd go through Ihote's boatship, entering through a wall and exiting at the back of the ship.

Ihote saw this and got angry. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!" He grabs his weapons and steps forward.

As Kenichi stands straight and looks at Ihote, his whole body flickers silver for a second. "This must mean I'm out of SOUL, right?" He thought to himself.

Ihote smiled sadistically. "Since you defeated the little bastard, it's my turn to fight you." He'd then look at Ignis, pointing his huge axe at her. "And don't you dare forget about our deal."

Ignis was worried. "Why did he run out so soon? Is he still a beginner? Maybe I just doomed myself..."

Kenichi gets his sword out and points it towards Ihote. "Shall we end this?"

"End?! We're just beginning, boy!" He throws his axe, missing Kenichi. As he pushes a chain that was linked to the axe, the chain traps Kenichi. "Gotcha~!"

Kenichi tried to free himself, but to no avail. "Daー"

Kenichi wouldn't even finish his sentence, as Ihote started to spin around and throw him against the ground, after a couple spins. "You're stuck! The victory is easily mine!"

As he says that, a familiar katana and two kunais, strike the same spot on the chain, breaking it.

"You're free now!" Tarozaemon said.

"I really need to rest..." A recently woken Machi said, panting heavily.

Kenichi stood up, as the chains fell. "Your cheap trick ended quite quickly." As he left the cloud of dust he was in, people would notice a torned down uniform, bloodied cuts and spots everywhere and blood escaping his mouth.

Ihote prepares his cannon and shoots it, yet again missing Kenichi, but hitting the Feliticia statue, destroying it.

Kenichi turned back in shock as he saw this. Seeing the image of his mother taken down enraged him. No words could describe how pissed off Kenichi was now. "Taro, Machi, stand back. I'll finish this once and for all."

Ihote laughs hysterically. "You really think this will end that easily, don't you?! Heroes are things from fairytales, kid! Stop deluding yourself!"

Kenichi spit some blood to the ground and then got into a stance. "Bring it, you tyrant bastard."
