Chapter 49 - Putting The Work In

Takono stands in the beautiful forest

Tankū is sitting on top of a rock

Tankū: Before I send you back I have to tell you something

Takono: Yeah?

Tankū: I want to give you something to give you the advantage over him

Takono: And what is that?

Tankū: You weren't floating in space for no reason

On Earth…..

Tome & Harabara stand across from Fumetsu

Harabara's face has a big cut on it and is still bleeding from the wound

Fumetsu looks angry and He begins to become impatient

Fumetsu has his arm folded and is tapping his finger on his arm

Harabara picks his sword up and dashes towards Fumetsu clashing with his arm

Fumetsu then jumps back as Tome appears behind him and sends a kick to his back sending Fumetsu falling into a mountain

Tome and Harabara keep clashing with Fumetsu as Prince, Seiya, and The others stand as they observe the fight

Prince: They are getting slower while Fumetsu is slowly gaining his speed back

Seiya: So you're saying that he somehow regains his stamina the longer he's fighting?

Nishita: Not only that he gaining his Stamina back he's also getting stronger the longer the fight goes on

Fumetsu dodges and summons a spear and stabs Tome with it pushing him back into a tree then disappears and reappears next to Harabara sending multiple punches to his face and a spin kick at him sending him into the ground

Seiya: They won't be able to hold him off soon

Prince: Yeah it's getting ugly quickly

Tome takes the spear from his stomach and Harabara slowly gets up

Harabara pats the dust off his shoulders

Fumetsu has a huge grin on his face

Fumetsu: Is that all you both got?

Fumetsu: ARE U THE BEST THIS PLANET HAS TO OFFER?

Tome: Harabara….

Harabara: hmm?

Tome: I know we have both been holding back….

Tome: But now isn't the time to be not using our full power….

Tome: We have people to protect so it's time to stop messing around and end this

Harabara: You right….. Well Tome…. Let's end this

Tome's aura becomes green as his hair starts to stand up due to the wind

The force of the wind around him becomes stronger

The wind starts to cut up trees and make Seiya and the others lose their grip on the ground

Fumetsu grins ear to ear

Fumetsu: This is more like it….

Seiya: EVERYONE GET TO COVER!

Seiya yells as the Master Captains and Leaders take cover behind the town walls

Harabara grins And walks towards Tome

Harabara: I haven't seen you in this state in years

Tome has a green aura around him and his eyes light up green

Tome: It feels good to release it

Fumetsu: You turned Green! Nice Nice…. Let's test that str-

Fumetsu dashes towards Tome so fast nobody could see his movements and the two clash time and time again

Fumetsu ducks under one of Tome jabs and sends a punch to Tome stomach which sends him flying but Harabara appears behind him and catches him

Tome: Thanks….

Harabara nods his head

Fumetsu: THIS IS MORE LIKE IT CHALLENGE ME CHALLENGE A GOD

Fumetsu: I'M TIRED OF YOU ALL NOT PUTTING IN THE WORK!

Tome face clinches up and he looks down

A flashback…..

25 Years ago…..

Kids are running around and Kid Tome is playing with his fellow siblings

There are 2 boys and 2 girls running around a mini tent

Present day….

Tome: Don't put the work in? Don't ever think you know me…..

Tome: I've lost my brothers and sister and BOTH OF MY PARENTS

Tome: IM WHERE I AM BECAUSE I BLED, SWEATED AND CRIED EVERYDAY TO GET TO WHERE I AM

Tome: MY FAMILY WAS SLAUGHTERED SO I COULD BE HERE

The earth starts to shake

Harabara: Not again…. Calm down Tome

Tome starts to walk as the oceans rise around the world

The earth's wind picks up so strong that tornadoes start to form

Tome: I WILL BE THE LAST PERSON YOU WILL EVER DOUBT

Harabara: Tome….

He places his hand on Tome shoulders

Harabara: Calm down….. Don't do it again...

Tome stops and the world goes back to normal as Tome goes back to standing with his arms folded

Prince: That power is ridiculous!

Nishita: This is why he doesn't get involved with battle…. Guy has a bad temper

Fumetsu grins and start to slowly clap

Fumetsu: That was amazing!

Fumetsu: That was quite the show you put on!

Fumetsu: All of this is so amusing!

Seiya: Even after all that do you think they have a chance?

Prince: No…. I just have a hunch that Fumetsu is still holding back a form

Fumetsu: But all of you all time has run out!

Fumetsu: I will kill these two then when I do ALL OF YOU WILL PERISH BEFORE THE HANDS OF ME FOR NOT KNEELING!

Harabara: Tome…. Are you calm

Tome: Yeah… I got beside myself…..

Harabara: It's fine…. Can we beat this guy?

Tome: My stamina is running out but-

Harabara: Yeah same here…. This cut on my face is causing me to lose a lot of blood

Tome: There's only one way to find out….

Harabara: If we can or not we have to try…..

Tome: Took the words right out of my mouth

Fumetsu: So…. Shall we begin

They go into their fighting stances and Fumetsu gains a sinister grin

To be continued…..
