----- Back to present -----
Ao and his companions have arrived at their destination, the rain is raging, covered by grey clouds, a large red structure, resembling a ritual totem, stands before them, along with a silhouette
Gin: Terrified “Wha.. Where are we, Ao?”
Ao: “At the result of the ritual that the red cult has been preparing all night”
Yumi: “What the hell are we doing here?!!”
Ao: “Ignite the wrath of the beasts of this world!!”
Ao readies his fist, and a great glittering ball of blue energy forms and encompasses that fist
Suddenly, he throws it in front of him and incants
Ao: “Nova Star”
The scintillating ball of energy moves at full speed and crashes into the large red structure, making a large, noisy blue explosion.
The noise and shockwave of the explosion spread throughout the tournament area, reaching the tournament veil, and when it did...
the veil was covered in a brilliant blue, slowly seeping into its material and cancelling out the veil's trickery, allowing thousands of people across all the kingdoms to see what was really happening in this bloody inter-kingdom tournament!
----- In the lair of a very influential person -----
In this lair, a spy and her master are getting very agitated
Anne: “MASTER, THIS IS VERY SERIOUS!!!”
Anne's master: “What's going on?!”
Anne : “THE MERCENARY OF THE GOLDEN ORDER HAS JUST DESTROYED OUR DEVICE IN THE TOURNAMENT'S VEIL!!!”
Anne's master: “WHAT?!! WE MUST CUT THE TRANSMISSION, QUICKLY”
Anne: “THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO, BUT WE'RE NO LONGER CONTROLLING THE VEIL!!!”
----- Kingdom of Kamelott, in a tavern broadcasting the tournament live -----
Child: “Daddy, look! What's all the red in the TV?”
The many people watching the tournament transmission are shocked, the atmosphere has gone from jovial to terrifying in just a few seconds after the veil trickery is destroyed
Child's mother: “Don't look at the TV, darling! Hides child's eyes
----- Pendragon Alliance headquarters -----
Everyone is agitated, doing their utmost to jam the waves given off by the tournament veil to stop the transmission, while high-ranking members of the alliance look on in dismay
Suddenly, a man in noble golden-blue clothing, one of those in high places, turns his head towards his neighbor, a very muscular man in the same noble garb, crossing his arms, and whispers
???: “Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Master Denken?”
Denken: “If it's what we think, the emperor will be furious.. but I also think.. it's him!”
----- On the Ao side -----
Ao has erected a large shield around himself and his companions to protect them from the explosion, and starts waving his arms, controlling the desert veil, and brings all the chameleon cameras above him, filming him from several angles
Ao: “Smile back there, you're being filmed!!”
Yumi: “Huh?!!”
Ao gently lays Kin's body on the ground on the sand, and approaches the chameleon cameras, currently playing live on all the tournament transmissions
He takes a deep breath, and prepares to speak in front of the cameras
Ao: “Ahem.. I.. Um..
Look, I'm not made for speeches, so I'll keep my words short, but good enough..
My name is Ao Starbreaker.. Remember this name, because from now on, you're going to be hearing about us everywhere!
The newspapers will speak of us as terrorists, criminals, monsters..
But we're not what they say, I can assure you!
What happened here is awful.. but we're used to the awful reality the Pendragons have forced us to live with all these years!
For those who don't understand these words.. believe me, they will resonate within you, more and more each day!
This is what the Starbreaker clan has to say to all of you watching this transmission!
The Starbreaker clan will liberate all the kingdoms that have fallen under the forces of the Pendragon alliance, and we will put an end, once and for all, to the infection of dark power!
It's a promise: we'll do everything in our power to put mankind back on the right track!
To you who have lost hope,
To you who have lost your former lives, imprisoned by the lies of the Pendragons,
To you who try to be fair in these times of constant battle,
To you who are getting drunker and drunker, waiting for humanity's last hours,
To you who feel powerless in the face of all the horrors caused by this alliance,
The Starbreaker clan is coming for you! And we'll take back everything they've taken from us!
As for you.. the Pendragon alliance..
Send me your best warriors, your best inventions, your angels, your Soul Killer, your great sages..
NOTHING! WILL STOP ME FROM REDUCING YOU TO ASHES!
The history books will talk about what you did to the world, but they'll also talk about how the world recovered from your bullshit, and sent it all back to you.. A THOUSANDFOLD!
Pendragon Alliance, it's war!!!
Come and get me if you want, or I'll come for you!!!”
...
...
...
“You heard it.. It's the signal!”
“I know, get ready”
The Starbreaker clan awakens, hidden in the shadows for many years, now ready to unleash its fury!
