"I know and from the destruction he caused it looks like he won't be stopping before his death" replied the disguised Saiga Furinji before reverting to his 'usual' John behavior.
"I need to get there before their fight otherwise Kenichi may get caught up in it" said Sakaki
As the group began to settle down, Sho couldn't help but stare at John.
"What's wrong, brat?" asked Sakaki as he poked holes into a coconut before passing it to Jennifer to drink out of it.
"That mercenary… I feel like he's not what he seems," mumbled Sho.
"Good instincts," complimented Jennifer, "I can't seem to place it, but I also feel something is off. But from what, I can't tell."
"Good eye, all of you," grinned Sakaki, "But don't worry. If he does mean to harm us, I'll kick his ass."
Meanwhile, Saiga was uploading the data from the USB stick into his own receiver. Due to traveling to another country, Sakaki couldn't bring a receiver into Tidat, as the risk of it being confiscated was too high. Instead, Niijima gave Sakaki the USB stick which contained all the information needed to track Kenichi's tracker as well as Miu's.
Saiga had snuck into Tidat through his own connections, meaning that he could sneak in all the equipment that was needed since neither Niijima or Saiga knew about each other they couldn't co-ordinate well. So Sakaki became the carrier for the data stick.
"C'mon… Got it!" grinned Saiga as Kenichi's location was finally revealed to them. Now they don't need to follow the person challenging Jenazad and can reach Jenazad before him but they don't have much time, as tomorrow was the second day and the person would most likely reach Jenazad tomorrow night.
A day passed as the group rested, ready for Jenazad to make a move. They didn't have to wait long when Bataun quickly reported that Jenazad had attacked Nuchald's fortress, who had allied with him for more power.
"Geez, attacking his own allies?" groaned Sho, "Why would he do that?"
"That is what defines the man named Jenazad," growled Bataun, "He has no interest in a stable country, but what rather fan the flames of war so he can massacre all those around him."
"It's also most likely Jenazad's way of accepting the challenge. Since this challenger of his is going around and destroying at least half of the stronghold along with the people it's his way of showing that he could do the same." Sakaki stated
"Then we should we do something?" asked Sho
"We can't just rush out there without any preparation," warned Jennifer, cocking her pistol.
"That may be true… but I'm a man who prefers to take action!" grinned Sakaki as he rushed forward, punching through the wall as the others followed him.
"That idiot," sighed Jennifer as she quickly followed up.
Lohan's heart broke when she saw soldiers of Tidat killing each other, all for Jenazad's wish. A young boy who couldn't have been much older than Lohan tried to shoot at one of Jenazad's soldiers, only to hit the bulletproof mask. The masked man tried to attack him, only for Lohan to intervene, pleading them to stop.
Inspired by Lohan's courage, Sho stepped forward to protect Lohan. Lohan was momentarily surprised by this action, but appreciated his concern.
"Hahaha, I like what I'm hearing! Let's save every bastard in the fortress. You okay with that, princess?" laughed Sakaki.
"Please do, I beg of you," replied Lohan as she pulled out her kris.
Of course, they could each sense that there were quite a few master class fighters surrounding them. Despite them achieving such a goal, they were all still pupils under Jenazad, as he ruled over them all.
"Not to belittle anything, but can you handle all of them without killing?" asked Sho as he turned to face one of them.
"Maybe, but the worst backup just arrived," stated Sakaki.
Before any of them could register that, Sakaki moved, kicking one of the opponents in the knee. The opponent stumbled back, but before he could get up, Hongo suddenly appeared, smashing his knife hand into his stomach.
"Master!" shouted Sho in happiness that he was alright.
Hongo frowned as he pulled his fist out of the man's stomach. He had meant to kill him, but Sakaki had interfered and saved the man…somewhat. Though he was pleased to see Sho healthy once more. From the helicopter he had leaped off of, Hayama and Seto were quickly trying to land to help Sho.
"Listen up, Hongo! This is my war, so if you kill someone in front of me, I won't forgive you!" shouted Sakaki.
"Like I care," retorted Hongo.
In an instant, the two of them went on the attack, obliterating the enemy masters. Sakaki, of course, had to make sure that Hongo didn't kill in front of him.
"Incredible," uttered Lohan as she caught an arm aiming for her, who immediately kicked the opponent in the head, followed by Sho knocking him out.
"That's my master for you," grinned Sho.
"So that's Shio-chan's rival," hummed Jennifer as she shot an attacker in the knees, disabling her attackers.
Muten Kendoku-ryu: Jinsou Jion Reppa
Shinchi Nengen-ryu: Chourou Kankuu Juurin
Sakaki and Hongo knocked out 4 masters each with their barrage without even sustaining any damage. Though as soon as they finished, they felt a familiar Ki spike up before it vanished.
"Hongo, I'm going," shouted Sakaki as he finished punching someone into the wall.
"Go," replied Hongo, "I'll take care of this."
As Sakaki left, he quickly turned to give a quick warning.
"Listen up you bastards! This man is normally unable to hold back! If you don't want to die, you should surrender immediately!" shouted Sakaki.
'I'm not sure if you should be saying that,' sweatdropped Sho as various opponents looked shocked that such a man would give such a warning.
Soon enough, the fighting ended as Sakaki came back with disgust on his face. Jenazad had disappeared, but not before killing Nuchald. However, in his mind, he was glad that Kenichi hadn't appeared yet. From the trio's story, Miu had been the one kidnapped and had almost killed Nuchald herself.
'Looks like Kenichi is still stubbornly resisting Jenazad,' thought Sakaki, though still very worried.
"Still no sign of your disciple?" asked Hongo.
"None," growled Sakaki.
As Lohan dismissed the crowd, one of the mercenaries working for her came up, telling them that John was on the communicator, pursuing the enemy.
"How are you tracking them?" asked Lohan in shock.
"Well, I was running around, dodging bullets and stuff when I tripped. The tracker that I had been showing off to Sho before flew out of my pockets, bounced off the wall before rolling on the ground and dropping to a floor below. It landed right onto one of the fleeing guys and shuffled into his cloth that he tied around his body. He was following a guy in a mask," lied the disguised Saiga.
"Wow, that's great! That's the first time you've been useful!" exclaimed Sham, causing Saiga to chuckle to himself mentally.
"Lower your voice, and pay attention to your surroundings," advised Hongo immediately.
"Eh, pay attention to my surroundings? You should've told me that before! I'm terrible at doing that!" exclaimed Saiga before looking up to see himself surrounded, "Oh… Oh no."
He, of course, knew they were already there, but to keep up the disguise, he chose to fake it.
"[Get him!]" shouted one of the ambushers as they dove for Saiga.
Saiga was let himself be captured.
"[What should we do with him?]"
