"I only survived because I wasn't there," he said
Zenkai was confused about what he meant.
"Everything went dark and I opened my eyes I looked up and saw hell catching up to me. Below me was a shadow that consumed me I don't know why but I just fell through it I ended up grabbing onto Flakes to save him as well but it could have also meant we both are dying right now we stayed in it for about a while and we recently came out of it yesterday I have no idea how much time has past but every day we saw chaos in there but I heard a voice when I was being grabbed onto it said: "it's too early for you to die, the day you die will eventually come but it's not today."
Vannox grabbed his head.
"So many versions of me were shown I don't even know who I am anymore I'm going to tell you this Zenkai because we will be companions from now on you are the Miracle I know this because I overheard what Shin was saying but you being a God might cause a rift between us in the future since I'm a devil."
"Is that why you have those marking on your heart?" Anbu asked.
"I've always had this my mom didn't know the cause of it but I already do."
"And what would that be?" Anbu asked again.
"My father… he sinned by sleeping with a human and while his life was taken by the other devils a marking was put on me and set for me to die at the age of 20 unless I go to hell itself and get the marking removed."
"Then that's what you'll do." Zenkai said, "we'll beat the shit out whoever marked you and force them to remove it but question where's Flakes."
"He didn't want to come here so we decided to split up and meet up in the future," Vannox told Zenkai.
Anbu got up and entered the castle and Zenkai and Vannox went after him. Anbu looked around.
"Nice castle where's the king," Anbu asked
"Um I'm the King," Zenkai told him.
Both Anbu and Vannox looked at Zenkai in confusion then he explained to them about the death of the king two years ago and a tourney that was held for a new king which he participated in and became the king but he didn't mention anything about Darling.
As they walked around Hikari came down the stairs and walked toward them.
"Who are they," she asked Zenkai.
"Friends of mine they'll be staying here for a bit."
"Oh how long."
"Quite some time," he said as they walked past her and entered the throne room and a maid came running in looking scared."
Zenkai grabbed her arms as he told her to breathe and speak.
"The king of Hiroshima wants to discuss something with you it's about the trading system we had they want to call it off."
Zenkai who recently became king and also was still young so he didn't know anything about how to run a country and didn't see how this was a big deal then Anbu stepped up and asked the lady where they can talk to the king.
"We have a big projector screen in the library halls you can make calls there."
Anbu walked into the library while Zenkai and Vannox followed. A big screen was in front of them and there was an empty throne Zenkai looked confused until a man who looked in his mid-20s came into the frame and sat down.
"Nice to meet you Jadia." The man said.
He got quiet as he looked at Anbu then laughed.
"I can't believe it the Dragon Ranker is the king of Jadia."
Anbu spoke with a clear tone and he replied.
"Nice to meet you again Moncler but you got it wrong I'm not the King of Jadia, that would be him."
As he pointed at Zenkai, Moncler laughed again.
"The Great Jadia has fallen so low to make a child their King."
"Well, what can the King of Jadia help you with," Zenkai asked ignoring his remarks.
"Honestly I've been bored for a while now since the King of Jadia died I thought maybe I should take over and make it a part of my kingdom but what's the fun in that right? So I decided to wait until the King was crowned so we could have a war."
Anbu stepped forward and told Moncler having a war won't do anything.
"It will do something" he replied.
"And what will that be," Anbu asked.
Moncler sat up in his seat and took his crown off and spun it on his finger.
"It will entertain me." He said as he grinned and turned off the call.
Anbu closed his eyes as he was worried about what Moncler would do and if Zenkai could handle him.
"How do you know that guy," Vannox asked.
"He's a Special who the government has been trying to make a Ranker for a long time he has mastered many deadly forms of martial arts and excels at boxing and his power isn't a joke either honestly he could probably take on 20 rankers at once going to war with him isn't something we need."
"Can't you fight him with us?" Zenkai asked.
"I could but as a Ranker, I work for the world and am not allowed to participate in country affairs," Anbu told him.
"Well it's getting late we should go to sleep we can think about this tomorrow," Zenkai told them.
Zenkai gave Anbu and Vannox rooms for them to stay as he walked into his room and laid on the bed he dozed off.
"Hey Zenkai, been a very long time since we talked huh you came a long way."
Zenkai looked around as he was in a dark space floating in the middle of nowhere and the lady from his old dreams appeared in front of him.
