As Ryu was trying to make sense of what Takumi was trying to say, he then thought that he looks similar, not just to Heath but someone else that had died years ago.
"Is your name by any chance the Crimson Assassin?" asked Ryu to which Takumi replied with, "Uhm Yeah, every one knows about the Crimson Assassin and that guy is me".
The Crimson Assassin was an unknown fighter that had been protecting the streets of Tokyo for 10 years but when it came to his son being born.
He knew he couldn't take the stress and his wife had died when giving birth to him and as he had disappeared out of nowhere.
People had spread rumours that the Crimson Assassin was murdered but this was never confirmed.
Ryu couldn't believe that he was talking to the Legendary Crimson Assassin. He saw this opportunity to know more about him, as it turns out, he was encountered by the Aurora and was the only successor.
"I was the only successor due to the fact that many of the chosen ones were naive to allow themselves to be used as public models for some quick cash.
This led to their deaths, I have no idea why. When I first met them, they were passionate about being protectors but when it came around 5 months.
They had changed, as if they were in some kind of mind control state anyway that's all that I know about them and I'm reluctantly the last one alive".
Ryu then thought about what Takumi just said, 'mind control state?' it seems that someone intended this to happen when they first started and must've done something.
"Now that I think of if, years ago when they were still passionate about the role, all 4 of them except for me were attacked by this creature.
He place pin like radio machines on their core and at first they were fine but when it came to that, they were more different".
That was enough evidence to prove that something did happen to them and it was connected to that creature.
Moment later, Heath and Ryuji had arrived and when Heath saw Ryu alongside someone who he had thought was himself.
Heath then bought out a picture that showed him as a child alongside his father who had abandoned him. He compared it with Takumi.
And came to the conclusion that Heath was his father. As he noticed this, he went after him just to punch him, "Woah there fella, what's your deal?"
He then saw Heath crying as he kept punching him in the stomach, Ryu tried to stop him but he kept punching him uncontrollably.
"You asshole, you don't even know how many years I had to go through without you!!!! it was hard for me to make friends, to have a proper family and it was ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!"
Takumi then realised that Heath was actually his son, he went hug him and apologized for what he had done, Heath kept on crying as he hugged him back.
Ryu and Ryuji decided to leave both of them to themselves as they set aside their difference.
As Heath calmed down, Ryu then shouted at him, "I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE THE SON OF THE MOST LEGENDARY AND MOST COMMITED MEMBER OF THE AURORA EVER!!!!!"
Heath felt scared by what Ryu was saying but it made sense on how much he didn't really know about his real father.
Ryuji then grabbed Ryu and told him to give Heath some space and as he did, Takumi wanted to help.
