CHAPTER 7 - THE SEPARATION
Tenya and Renki arrived at the ECG base after Toma and Enzo. The Elders were a little disappointed since Tenya and Renki failed to retrieve the relic, however they are still a little relieved, at least Toma and Enzo didn't come home empty-handed. It means the ECG side got one relic and on the other side, the terrors also have one. So, it means the terrors can't open the main portal to release their King with only one relic. Still, they can't underestimate the terrors side, because nobody knows what they are up to next. They have to stay focused and keep the relic somewhere safe if they don't want to be caught off guard, because the terrors will do anything to obtain it. At the same time, Tenya and Renki also told the Elders about the mystery SS-rank that looks similar to Deszadom (Genji) that they met at the town. The Elders were also surprised, since Genji was still kept inside the special room. So, who was the other Deszadom that Tenya and Renki met? It's still a riddle. The only way to get the answer is to ask Genji himself. He might know about it, says Kyoga. The Elders hesitated about Kyoga's suggestion, but still, it is the only way to find out. There is no other way. So, they decided to hold a meeting to discuss that, because no matter what Genji was put to deep sleep without his approval, since they brought him to ECG from the first day, he was already unconscious. Several days later, the Elders ask all the Golden-Knight members to gather because they are going to announce the result after the meeting. The elders agreed to do an interrogation on Genji about the "mystery-figure" that looks like him. Kyoga couldn't accept the elders' decision by doing interrogation on Genji, because he is not a fugitive. What they do, only can bring Genji to an upset. It's not a wise decision, Kyoga said. However, he is powerless against the Elder's decision. The interrogation will be held inside the special room where Genji was captivated. He chains up on a chair, which releases a small amount of the gas into the room (as usual), just enough to weaken him (just in case Genji goes wild) but still keep him sober. However, there is still another problem. The Elders need someone to volunteer to do the interrogation. Then without hesitation, Kyoga pointed to himself. Later, the interrogation started. As the Elders planned, Genji was awake, however he was very weak.
Kyoga: "Genji... Genji... are you awake?"
Genji: "Hu-huh...???"
Kyoga: "Do you know who I am?"
Genji: "I-i... don't... know."
Kyoga: "It's me... Kyoga. Remember me?"
Genji: "............ (silence a while), yes..."
Kyoga: "Good... do you know where you are, right now?"
Genji: "I-I don't... know. Where...??"
Kyoga: "You are in ECG now. You're safe..."
Then Genji looked around the room that he is not very familiar with and also, found out that he was chains up on a chair. He is quite surprised but powerless to resist.
Genji: "Wha-what... is this... for...??"
Kyoga: "Just need to ask some questions, man..."
Genji: "Huh... all the same... errgghhh..." (try to struggling and release himself),
Kyoga: "It's okay... it's okay. It will be removed after this conversation is finished..."
Genji: "Con-conversation...?? Or interrogation...?? Huh..."
Kyoga: "You know, Tenya and Renki. They met someone that looks very much like you. But it wasn't you, we knew... So, do you have any idea who that guy was?"
Genji: ".................. (silence again for a moment), huh... ha.. ha.. ha.. ha.. they... made it..."
Kyoga: "Ma-made it?? What?"
Genji: "The... terror..."
Kyoga: "Terror?? What did they do?"
Genji: "They.. took.. my.. essence... and cloned.. me. My.. shadow..."
Kyoga: "Your... shadow?? You meant your doppelganger??"
Genji: "Uhm..."
After saying that, one of the Elders orders the operator to release the gas to maximum, to put Genji back to deep sleep again. Kyoga was shocked and angry. He didn't agree that the Elders treated Genji like that and he has not finished asking yet. However, the decision is in the Elder's hand and there is nothing that Kyoga can do. So, he was very upset and mad at the same time, when he left the room. He can't believe the elders doing that without discussing it with the Golden-Knight members first. His trust and loyalty to ECG was broken at that time. This time the headache was much worse than previously and the voice on his head kept getting louder too. Kyoga couldn't bear the pain so he ran away outside the ECG base and went to the nearest town. He thought he would be much better, but oppositely, it was worse than ever. He can't hold it anymore, so he screams out loud until he falls down to the ground. Sometime later, something happened at the base. The emergency alarm suddenly rings, all the Knights are getting ready to find out what happened. It seems like someone has taken the relic away. It turns out, Kyoga is the culprit. The remaining Golden-Knight are very shocked after hearing this. They still can't believe it however is true. They thought there might be some misunderstanding about this, but the CCTV footage has recorded someone very much looking like Kyoga took the relic. Not only that, during his action, he also hurts some of his Knight comrades there and there were witnesses too. When one of the Golden-Knight fellows checked on Kyoga's room, he was definitely not there. So, the suspicion on Kyoga is getting bigger. The Elders are very mad so they alert all the Knights and the camp branch in town to hunt Kyoga down. No matter what, the relic must be returned to ECG. Now Kyoga became the "WANTED". The Elders believe Kyoga might have turned his side already and become the next "Fallen-Knight" too. Somewhere around the nearest town, Kyoga was staying low in an abandoned warehouse since all the Knights are searching for him currently. So, he was forced to hide somewhere first and wait until dawn, then he will keep going. However, he must be careful as well, because the ECG side might also appear nearby to ambush. They have sent many Knights (most of them are Silver-rank and some Golden-rank also involved) to hunt Kyoga. Around dawn, Kyoga tries to sneak out of the warehouse to avoid the hunters. However, just running not so far from there, he had already alerted the hunters. Even Kyoga still encountered fights with some hunters, but he still managed to get away. Not far from there, suddenly two Golden-Knights appear before him. It's Tenya and Renki. They had been waiting for Kyoga since the moments he encountered those hunters.
Kyoga: "Ohh, shit!!! It's you guys, huh... never giving me a rest..."
Tenya: "Is there anything you have to explain, man?"
Renki: "Yeah... what happened?"
Kyoga: "It's none of your business. Move away!!!"
Tenya: "After what happened, you just told us to move away?? We need some explanation, you bastard...!!!"
Kyoga: "I don't have anything to say... get out of my side...!!!"
Renki: "We let you pass, but you have to step over our dead body."
Kyoga: "Really guys?? Do we have to do this?"
Tenya: "It's you giving us no choice, man!!! Don't tell us what to do..."
Renki: "We deserved an explanation for what happened, don't you think so???"
Tenya: "You... really makes things harder than ever...!!"
Kyoga: "Stop talking...!!! If you want to fight, bring it on... Hensō...!!! Srinnggg..." (changing into Rising-Form Dark-Izagi),
Tenya: "Really?? You fucking bastard!!!, hyaahhh... Hensō...!!! Srinnggg..." (transform into Nozogi),
Renki: "Hensō...!!! Srinnggg..." (transform into Reshigi),
Dark-Izagi: "All right, you both. Come on...!!! Szinnggg... Hyaahhh, syuufff..." (thrusting forward to the target),
Nozogi & Reshigi: "Heaahhh..." (evading to the left and right),
Nozogi: "Swinnggg, wuuzzz..." (elemental strike),
Reshigi: "Swinnggg, bzzttt..." (elemental strike),
Dark-Izagi: "Wosshhh... (jump backward), fyunnggg..." (sword stabbing on the ground),
After Dark-Izagi stabbed on the ground, it caused an energy-wave to explode on the surroundings. The elemental strikes from Nozogi and Reshigi were completely neutralized.
Dark-Izagi: "Huaahhh... (jump into the air), swinnggg, bzinnggg..." (elemental strike),
Then Nozogi and Reshigi strike together with their elemental strike as well, to stop the elemental strike from Dark-Izagi. The battle stops for a moment when they are trying to catch their breath. Then Dark-Izagi has no choice but to use one of his signature-blow on them, which it is called "Ankō-Doenzan (DarkLight-RagingFlame Slash)", to finish the battle immediately. Nozogi and Reshigi tried to block the strike from Dark-Izagi together at the same time, but the strikes were quite strong enough to blow them away. Luckily, both of them were only slightly injured.
Dark-izagi: "I told you... to move away but you didn't listen, and this is what you got to step in my way."
Both of them still don't want to give up so easily. They are trying to stand up and fight again. However, just after they stood up, a figure appeared behind them. It's the SS-rank Deszadom Doppelganger, called Shazdom. Now, Nozogi and Reshigi are in trouble. One Dark-Izagi was quite troublesome, and now another one.
Shazdom: "Need some help??"
Dark-Izagi: "No...!!! Don't interfere, I can handle it myself..."
Shazdom: "Huh... suit yourself."
Nozogi: "What?? Don't underestimate us, you bastard...!!! We can fight both of you..."
Dark-Izagi: "Still stubborn, huh?? It won't do any good."
Nozogi: "Shut up!!! Ren, let's combine..."
Reshigi: "Okay..."
Then both of them using their combine skill called, "Raifū-Tendozan (ThunderStorm-Heaven Raging Slash)", to strikes on dark-izagi but he already predicted it, so he using another signature skill called, "Ankō-Jōshōryūzan (DarkLight-Rising Dragon Slash)", to neutralized the strong powerful strikes from combination skill of Nozogi and Reshigi. Because two powerful strikes hitting together, as usual it also caused powerful explosions around them. After the explosions subsided, both of them just realized that Dark-Izagi was already gone from their sight, along with the Shazdom. They realized they had fallen into a trap of Dark-Izagi. After a long run, Dark-Izagi's them arrive in a forest. It seems like Dark-Izagi (Kyoga) and Shazdom have made some agreement. That is why Shazdom came to aid. Later on, they stop moving to catch a breath.
Dark-Izagi: "It's quite far enough. I don't think they can catch us..."
Shaddom: "Uhm... agreed. By the way, you got it??"
Dark-Izagi: "What??"
Shaddom: "Don't play stupid with me...!! You knew what I meant..."
Dark-Izagi: "Oh, you mean... this??" (showing the relic),
Shaddom: "Excellent... now, hand it over..."
Dark-Izagi: "Wait a minute..."
Shaddom: "Uhm...???" (staring at Kyoga),
Dark-Izagi: "I will give it to you, until... we arrive at the safest place."
Shaddom: "Huh?? Are you trying to play with me?? I have no time for that...!!!"
Dark-Izagi: "Hey, easy man...!!! I didn't say that I'm not giving to you, okay?? It just isn't right now. I must guarantee that we arrive at the safest place, then this thing is yours..."
Shaddom: "Uhm... (thinking a while), all right. Let's say I trust you this time. But if you try to pull a card, then the end of the story...!!!"
After that, Dark-Izagi follows the Shazdom to the deeper part of the forest, and finally, they reach the edge of the cliff.
Dark-Izagi: "Where are we going? This is seeming like the end of the road..."
Shaddom: "Stop talking... Just follow...!!"
Then the Shazdom jumps off the cliff right away first. Dark-Izagi just stared as the Shazdom's shadow slowly vanished in front of him. He steps forward and takes a look at the cliff but the Shazdom can't be seen since the bottom of the cliff was so dark. He looks around for a while, then decides to jump off as well. When he reached the bottom, the Shazdom was already waiting for him at the right side. There is a cave behind the Shazdom where he stands. Later, both of them walk into the cave and not far from the entrance, they see a living place inside. There were so many terrors in there, from low rank to high rank in the disguise of humans, and even the SS-rank General of terrors are there too. Probably, it could be the terror base camp in the human world. For the record, the SS-rank General of terrors are not only just two (who accompanied their King in the Beyond Prison). In fact, there were more than two SS-rank Generals that existed. They are many of them that spread around the corner of the human-world. Most of them, are staying low and only appearing if needed. However, the strongest SS-rank General was those two who kept with the King inside the prison. They can be called "SS+-rank" because after death (even being consumed), they can still be revived repeatedly by the King. So, as long as the King is still alive, the two Generals will keep coming back to life as well.
Dark-Izagi: "Yo-you... stayed in here... all along??"
Shaddom: "I need a place to lay low so I can monitor the Knights every single step, without them knowing..."
Dark-Izagi: "You did a lot of homework, didn't you?"
Shazdom: "I don't need to explain to you ..."
Dark-Izagi: "Well, okay... if you said so. Anyway, so you guys (terror) are hiding here this whole time?"
Shazdom: ............ (silent for a minute), mind your business!! Our kind not only stayed here. We are everywhere. If not, how can we prey on humans, huh??"
Dark-Izagi: "Uhm... I see. That's why the ECG can't detect your location... so far."
Shazdom: "Just cut the crap...!!! When are you going to give it to me?? Like I said, no playing games... or the deal is OVER...!!!"
Dark-Izagi: "All right, calm down... here you are..." (giving up the relic),
After taking that from Dark-Izagi, they are planning something, since both "Curse Relics" are in their hands right now.
