Chapter 18 - An Unknown Power.

Jonetsu & Misaki: ZAKOU, RUN!...

Zakou: R-Run?

Jonetsu: YES RUN, WHAT DID YOU THINK I SAID!?, SIT?

Zakou: B-BUT, I DON'T WANT TO RUN!, IM THE ONE HE WANTS TO TAKE!

Jonetsu: WELL IM SORRY BUT I DONT WANT TO TAKE THE RISK OF LETTING YOU DIE!, SO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE IF NOT I WILL GET YOU OUT MYSELF!

Zakou: NO!, IM NOT LEAVING!, IVE BEEN WORKING ON A NEW SKILL AND I WILL USE IT TO SAVE YOU GUYS!

?: Huh?

Zakou: This is gonna hurt like hell in the condition I'm in, but F*ck it!, ASSASSIN ART: MUSCLE AUGMENTATION!

I screamed in pain and agony, this is because all of my muscles bulge and technically put all of my bones back into place which doesn't feel all that great.

Zakou: *panting*, Th-this is it.

The man obliterated the ice wall Jonetsu had made to separate us and had this excited expression on his face.

?: L-Let's see, what you can do...

He came face to face with me and he tried to punch me in the gut but I was able to dodge it.

?: Hmm, N-Not bad.

I started to attack him, and sure enough, the boost was worth it, as I was attacking him I was able to graze him a few times.

?: I-If you had this kind of technique, Wh-Why didn't you just start with it...

I kicked him in the face pushing him back a good distance.

Misaki: Woaaah, he-he's so coooool!

Jonetsu: Yeah, he always is...

Zakou: You two leave this to me, Im the one he wants and you're both pretty exhausted.

Jonetsu: And there it is, your bad habit of leaving everyone out like you can do everything on your own, come on man, let's do this!

Zakou: Jonetsu... I can always count on you!

Misaki: Hey!, I'm here too you know!

?: What is this, a casual train ride?...

He came face to face with Jonetsu and punched him into the next cart, he then appeared in front of Misaki, But I got in the way and got kicked on the chin, but I was able to kick him back with twice the force allowing me to land two solid punches to his face.

Zakou: Haha, While I'm at it! - Wind Element: Double Wind Flick!

The recoil pushed him back a good distance, But it didn't even leave a scratch.

?: Y-Your not as bad a-as I thought.

Zakou: Shut it!

I rushed over to him and tried to hit him mid-air with a barrage of punches and kicks, But he dodged them all.

?: I-is that all y-you got?

It seemed as he intended to attack me, But I was able to get away from him as fast as possible.

?: Y-You weren't even able t-to see me t-trying to attack you, and you still m-moved back, Y-you have good instincts.

Zakou: Why would you even care!

*Zakou Subsconsiously*: M-My body is killing me, I-I don't know what to do...

Zakou: What do you even wa-

A huge thunderbolt like figure came in through the window.

Hideo: To get his ass kicked, that's what he wants.

?: Y-you again-

Hideo: If I were you I would be quiet and react fast - Lightning Element: First Form: Thunder Strike!

He dashed forward just like a thunderbolt, So fast I didn't even see what he did, All I really noticed at that moment was that I could feel the shock going through the metallic floor of the train.

Zakou: S-SINCE WHEN ARE YOU THIS STRONG!?, I BARELY EVEN SAW WHAT YOU DID!!!

Hideo: Haha, I train a lot-

The man got up at tremendous speed and got in front of Hideo and tried to punch him, But as fast as Hideo is, When he tried to move away he still was too close which still got him punched.

Zakou: D-Damn it, You alright!?

Hideo: Hehe, It's just a scratch...

*Zakou Subconsciously*: Damn it, If this keeps going someone will end up dying here.

Zakou: Here, put this on, its a communicator, just in case we get separated.

Hideo: What are you even doing with them...

Zakou: Im an assassin... What else do you expect...

Hideo: Hey, now that I think about it, Jonetsu is passed out in the cart behind us, So where is Misaki?

Zakou: I don't know, Bet lets assume she is helping Jonetsu

*Zakou Subconsciously*: Damn It, I never gave it much thought, But she suddenly disappeared when Hideo appeared, Misaki... Please don't do anything stupid.

Zakou: Ima go first!

Hideo: Go at it!

I got up and ran towards the man and got as close as possible to trouble him as much as possible due to Hideo being our best bet here, But out of nowhere Misaki came from behind and tried attacking him, But it was all a big mistake... He reacted and counter-attacked sending her flying leaving a huge dent on the train twice as big the one made from Hideo causing a huge explosion to a nearby building.

Zakou: MI-MISAKIIIIIIIIIII!

Hideo: Holy Shi-

Zakou: HIDEO!

Hideo: On it! Lightning Element: First Form: Thunder Speed (Incomplete)

His body lit up and emitted small crackles from the lightning emitting from his body and he jumped out of the train and ran towards Misaki as fast as possible.

Zakou: HI-HIDEO, H-HOW BAD IS IT!?

*Hideo Subconsciously*: *Tsk*, Damn it, This is not good, its not good at all, this is not looking good.

Hideo: Za-Zakou, Im running as going as fast as I can, But if I don't make it in time...

Zakou: ...

Hideo: She... Will die...

Zakou: W-What are you saying... your joking man... I don't like those kinds of jokes, Haha...

Hideo: I-Im sorry, but no...

Zakou: . . .

?: Sh-She was in the way.

Zakou: Sh-She was what?

?: Sh-She was in the way, and I-If I'm not wrong sh-shes what's called de-dead weight.

I was struggling to comprehend what was going on, I kept scratching my head with both hands trying to see a way out of our situation, was there something else I could have done?, What do they want from me?, Why do they want me?, Why is it me?, Why did my friends have to get involved?, I kept thinking of these questions in my head.

Zakou: D-Damn iiiiiiiiiit, y-you bastard... y-you worthless bastard!

From all of the loud noises and rumbling from the train Jonetsu had gained consciousness and slowly came over to the cart we were at.

*Jonetsu Subsconsiously*: Good thing I ordered all of the passengers to the furthest parts of the train.

Jonetsu: Is it me, or is it getting a little hot in here.

Zakou: You parasite, lowly worthless bastard, I-Im gonna make you pay.

?: H-Hes elemental power, i-is growing...

Jonetsu finished getting to the cart and stood there looking at us.

Jonetsu: H-His hair is slowly flashing red?

?: D-Dont worry, I-I will finish killing her once Im done with you.

Zakou: I-I-IM GONNA KILL YOU, NO IM GONNA ASSASSINATE YOU, GRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Jonetsu: WH-WHAT THE- ITS HOT AS ACTUAL HELL, MY SKIN IS BURNING.

I kept releasing hot air and flames kept spewing out of my body, My hair got completely red the same way my pupils did.

Zakou: I-I don't care who the hell you are, But, Whoever harms or touches Misaki, Is dead...

?: A-A surge?...
