As Noa lament his fate, on an island north-east of Itogami Island a figure was running while holding a jar with an ominous fluid inside it...
??? : Haaaa... Haa... Damn you Vatler!!! I knew you were up to something!!!
Vatler : And yet you still used my connections to gain all those drops of blood...
Vatler : How ironic for you to say that, Kou...
Kou : At the very least I didn't turn my back on you!!
Vatler : But you were planning to right??
Vatler : Well to be honest I didn't plan to act now...
Vatler : But as two of my sibling came here to watch over Noa it was the perfect alibi to act and throw the blame on them...
Vatler : Furthermore, if I devour you and Wiseman my powers will skyrocket...
Kou : You are crazy...
Vatler : Please both of us are crazy... Otherwise, you wouldn't be so obsessed with him...
Kou stopped talking as Vatler was right however what he didn't know was that the core behind Wiseman hasn't been inserted yet...
He could revive him even at this moment as he runs for his life and safety but he still doesn't know if the blood of Noa will make any weird movements in the mix...
Kira and Tobias, Vatler's bodyguards were circling around as they diffused any traps Kou set up for them leaving the final dish to Vatler...
Within the shadows, Shino who was watching this unfolding wanted to laugh badly...
As he knew that whoever comes on top of their break out will have to face him...
As this thought crossed his mind however he soon discarded it as he felt something approaching while the others continued like there was nothing wrong with their senses...
??? : Oh?? They break up so fast??
??? : This will make my job easier than I expected...
Shino : That means we finally have the green light to mess with them??
C. Noa : Yeah... By the way, I'm C. Noa N. 11, for now, you can call me simply Noa and only when the others are here or the original should you address me as such...
Shino : Got it!!
BAAANG!!!!
As they introduced themselves to each other even though they knew about each other a loud metal sound resounded as if it was pounded by a hammer...
Kou started using his powers on his body to fight against Vatler, while he simply punched out causing dull sounds to spread around them...
Kou was having a difficult time attacking with one hand and started using his legs as well as he was transforming parts of his body to any form of metallic such as knife, shield maybe and more...
He manipulates their length and density as well as what kind of metal he wished to transform...
Vatler : That's it go all out!!!
Vatler : Expend the power of the core inside you!!!
Vatler : With Kira and Tobias taking care of nearby traps and metal elements you have no way to recover...
Vatler kept having a crazy look on his face as he was thinking that when he devours those two and gain what will be rightful his, he would be able to match Noa...
Without even realising that Noa was watching him as a clone...
The more he wished for power the crazier his attacks became on Kou while ignoring defence completely and making their path a bloody one...
A few minutes later, Kou could no longer spend huge amounts of his energy and this reflected on his body as he could no longer transform all of his parts...
Vatler saw this chance and pushed forward as he pierced his chest leaving a bloody hole in Kou's body...
