Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Fate

(It is now the year 1962, 12 am)

Tomioka- (sigh)

Hiroto- What are we waiting for, Tomio-Kun?

Tomioka- Something that is very important.

Hiroto- What is this "important" you talking about? We have been staying here at the same spot for the last few hours... Our graduation will be commencing soon. It's too hot here if we stay here much longer. I would die here, it is a bit of shame.

Tomioka- Fine, you guys go first.

(Others walk away)

I, Tomioka Itoh, waiting for "it" to happen. This is my time to help my sister's life and change the future.

(Woman scream)

Tomioka- Oh sh*t. I'm late.

Let's change the timeline once and for all.

Tomioka follows down the man that killed him, or myself to be exact. Feeling hatred towards him, I can feel my anger bursting out in rage. But all of the sudden, my friends called me. I am surprised and resentful because the man successfully escaped.

Daisuke- Hey, wassup Nakama.

Tomioka- Argh!!! You spoiled it.

Daisuke- Huh?? What do you mean?

Tomioka- Tsk... I was about to change everything.

Daisuke- Well... I know what you mean but you just walk out away from your girlfriend, right? Hahahaha.

Tomioka is embarrassed after hearing Daisuke's awful statement.

Tomioka- Uhm, no... what the f**k are you talking about. I never leave her.

Daisuke- Yeah right. (laugh loudly)

Tomioka- Hey hey!!! Shhh! Be quiet!

I guess I am. I'm maybe no longer her brother, but still her lover. Since then, I ask her to talk to each other, teach her subjects and always treat her as my sister too. But still, I can't redo this fate at all. Why am I reborn anyway. Is God gave me a second chance, or...

Yui- Oi...What are you guys up to? The graduation is about to start.

Tomioka- Oh f***. I almost forgot about that. Cmon, no time to waste.

And all of them leave the place and quickly went to their graduation ceremony.

Takeru Suzuki (1945-1967)

(End of the year 1965)

Tomioka- Hey, what the hell are you doing? You know it is risky, right?

Yui- Nah, don't worry. They'll never know.

Daisuke- Uhh... are you sure about that?

Yui- Tsk... just shut up and enjoy the show.

Me and my friends I, 21 years old, like finding trouble in the military academy. For example, pranking the general by drawing his face, escaping every class, and also flirting with other female seniors. Nevertheless, we got punished in the end, Right now, Yui, a tomboy, short-haired, with a cute face and blue eyes, smoking at the back of the building.

Yui- (smoke)...(cough) damn that's painful.

Hiroto- Let me try...(smoke)...(cough) yeah... It's horrible. (continues to cough)

Tomioka- Told you not to do it.

Yui- Nah, we're good.

Tomioka- No you... Scouts. Hide.

So, after they saw them, without any a second thought, they hide in the small cleaner's room.

Tomioka- It's all your fault, Yui-Kun.

Yui- Shut up... they're getting closer.

???-Uhm... Tomioka...

Tomioka- A-Aiko chan..?

Yui- Ah? (not shock)

Well... that was unexpected. Yet, what is she doing here?

Tomioka- What are you doing here? (whisper)

Aiko- I'm working, Tomoe-san.

Tomioka- What do you mean by "work"?

Aiko- As a part-time. I'm broke... so I planned to find a job.

Yeah, I remember that day she silently went out without my permission. No wonder she disappeared that day.

Tomioka- Oh really. Why didn't you ask me?

Aiko- Because...uh...

Tomioka- Ah no worries. Here. (gives 1000 yen)

Aiko- Tomoe-San... it's okay. I can find money by myself.

After hearing it, guessing she's mature now. I'm proud of her. But I still gave her the money.

Tomioka- Just take it. Maybe it's useful for emergencies.

Aiko- Well, you're right. Thanks, Tomoe-San.

Yui- OooOOoo...

Tomioka- Keep your god damn mouth shut, will ya?

Daisuke- Can you guys be more silent, please? They're getting closer.

After the scout left the area that they are at, everyone checks the area whether there is someone else scouting for them and ran away from the area as fast as they can. They laugh at each other after taking the risk.

(CHRISTMAS DAY)

Ah... the sound of the choirs outside the village. I missed them so much. I better get to my papa very soon.

Tomioka- Chichi. I'm home

Akio- SON!!! YOU'RE BACK!!!

We hug together just like when I was young. Too bad my mom died so soon. He is a teacher of martial arts. But, I didn't know those unique martial arts skills. Using dark force and magic can seem overpowered and intimidating as well. I also included his disciple among 100 men.

Everything seems peaceful, then a phone call rings.

Tomioka- I'll get it. (picks up the phone) Moshi Moshi?

???- Hey... I want to tell you something important.

Tomioka- Uhm, to whom am I speaking with?

???- You'll know it sooner. But first, I have something to tell you that next year will be your nightmares.

Tomioka- Nightmares? What do mean by that?

???- Stop playing around, I know who you are and I'm trying to help you.

Tomioka- Huh?

The man just spoke to me and claim that he knows me. I didn't know what he wants.

???- Your name is Tomioka Itoh, correct?

Tomioka- Yes?

???- An your last name is, Takeru Su-zu-ki, yes?

What the f**k. How did he know...

Tomioka- How did you know my future's death body?!

???-(phone ended)

Soon, he becomes more depressed after being called by a stranger that knows his true identity and recalls himself back when his dead mother with his sister that he couldn't save.

Akio- Son. Have a word for you.

Both of them walk into the living room and Akio starts to tell him something.

Tomioka- (SHOCK)... W-what... W-why!!!!

Akio- I have to... Is for your sake, and me.

Tomioka- No no no... That's impossible. How can you know my true identity? Why can't you tell me in the first place? (tears start to drop) I tried to save my sister's fate, nothing can change her f**k*** fate. WHY DID HE DO THIS TO ME!!!!!? (cries)

Akio- With a reason. (hugs his son, Tomioka) Soon, in your future, you'll change everything.

Tomioka- What...will...(HSK) happen in...the...future...(HSK).

Akio- It's a Mountain Summit. It's a Poison Chalice. It's a Meal worth Waiting For.

After I heard it, I felt relieved and warm. There's no need to worry about it. Just wait for me, Imoto.

(1967)

???- CMON...FASTER.

I do my best to follow that man with my daughter. He's quite tall and he has white hair as well. It seems familiar. But, that's impossible. His voice is different, more like a teenager's voice. Nevertheless, I should get ongoing.

Thereafter, They arrived at the military headquarters and help her aid. She sits with other refugees. Soon, she realizes that someone she left.

Aiko- Tomoe-San... No no no...

Soldier- Pardon?

Aiko- Tomioka Itoh, is he here?

Soldier- Not sure about that, Miss. I'll help you find him. Who is he? Your boyfriend?

Aiko- Uhm... (twitch) y-yeah.

Soldier- Okay. Just sit tight and we will find him as quickly as possible. I'll inform you if we get any news from him.

I hope he's okay. Just need to be calm. Wait, where's my...

Aiko- Anita!? Darin (darling)?

Where is she? She was just by my side.

Anita- OKASAN!!!!

Aiko- Anita...

???- (Grabs her hand) Got her, Bosu (boss).

Aiko- Get off me you pervert!!

Man- Ha! You want to run away from me. That's not gonna happen.

Crap. Is nowhere I can hide anymore, and I can't get my daughter. My family's fate, cursed. Takeru-San... I'm sorry. (teardrops)

???- What the f**k do you sorry at me for?

Aiko- Huh?!

The voice... That sutorenja... could it be.

Aiko- Takeru? Is it you?

???- I'm no longer him anymore. I'm someone with you 'till now. (open his hood)

Man- Hmm, your ex right, Aiko-San. (Laugh sinisterly) Get him.

The man's men start shooting at him but realize that boy can avoid even a hundred bullets. Everybody inside the HQ was running away from that dangerous situation. Some of them are being killed. Even children died there.

Man- Who are you? How can you manage to avoid my men's fire squad?

???- Huh... You shot me on my head, You touch my sister's daughter and spoiled my family's fate.

Man- No, that's impossible. How do you manage to live back to life, Takeru?

Tomioka- I, Tomioka Itoh, reincarnated as a joyful boy from my past life with my sister, the lost survivor from the bizarre war of yours, taking my revenge for what you did and saving my sister's life.

The man starts to fear him. Aiko is happy to see him and knows that he was her brother all along. The man tries to finish him as he finishes Tomioka's old form.

Man- MERCILESS BERSERKER!!!!!!!!!!!! (FIRING SILVER BULLETS)

Tomioka- Angel's Halo (shield)

The man got shocked again when his powers didn't affect Tomioka's protection.

Man- You'll regret this. (Fireball overdrive)

Tomioka- (Inhale and exhale) pathetic move.

Man- HA! (shock)

Tomioka- Hell's cursed chains...Overdrive.

Tomioka suddenly unleashes the chains that slash a person piece by piece. The higher the power used, the higher the users' risk. The place view gets darker. The man can only see is just black pitch with eerie sounds coming from hell.

Man- Hello? Is anybody there?

Tomioka- Just me, and me.

All at once, Tomioka and his old form, Takeru Suzuki, walking toward him. The man ran away to find an exit every time he hits something, his sanity will decrease, and his wounds will grow. His tears are bleeding, he screams for help but his voice cuts out makes his mouth bleed. His body becomes paralyzed and his helpless. The chains cover him to make sure he can't move.

Tomioka- Any last word.

Then he gives the man's voice to be able to speak again.

Man- I'm sorry...I'm sorry...(starts crying for mercy)

Tomioka- Don't be sorry for me. Sorry for my friend.

Takeru came in front of him, cover with blood around his body.

Man- I'm SORRY!!! I'M SORRY FOR RAPING YOUR SISTER AND KILLING YOUR MOTHER... PLEASE...LET ME GO!!! (cried out loud)

Tomioka- You finally regret your acts. Very well then, I'll give you a second chance...

Man- Thank you...hsk... thank you.

Tomioka-... After your punishment.

Man- Wait, no... PLEASE...NO!!!!!!!

Everyone leaves him and his body is crushed and blood gushing around. The chains then cut his whole body to pieces.

Man- AAHHH!!!!

Man 2- Are you okay?

Man- Ah?!

Everything is just a nightmare that simulates by Tomioka himself. From there on, Tomioka arrives at him. He started to freak out. He immediately apologizes to Tomioka and Aiko for his immoral act.

Man- Please forgive me, Tomioka-Sama.

Tomioka- I accept your apology.

Aiko- Me too.

The man started to cry of regrets for what he did to her after hearing Aiko's consent. Aiko however feels relieved that Tomioka saves her and her daughter.

Tomioka- Don't satisfy yourself yet. There's a lot of things to settle. I've gonna find a way to stop the war and find my lost friends.

Aiko- Is Yui with you?

Yui- Of course, I'm with him.

Aiko was suddenly surprised after Yui said it.

Aiko- YUI!!

Yui- Hahahaha...

Aiko- (Hugs Yui) I'm so glad you're okay.

Yui- As I said, I'm very tough to fall into the ground.

She's getting beautiful these days after we left our hometown. Yui is my friend and Tomioka's, the same age as my brother, short hair, cute eyes, and very tough tomboy although she's hot. She's the highest rank commander and also the best officer in her division.

She's the highest rank commander and also the best officer in her division

Yui Fujiwara

Yui- Why are you guys nagging around here? Cmon, We got a lot of work to do. Aiko, you follow your brother.

Aiko- What? He's not my real brother anymore.

Yui- Oh...hmm (giggles)

Aiko- Uhm (Shy)... are you trying to say...

Yui- Yea, you thought that right (laugh out loud)

Aiko- Stop it... ( turned red with embarrassment)

Tomioka- Nah... I'm okay with it.

Well, I guess he's right. We met each other and I didn't know that Tomioka was my brother. But, rather be his sister, I'm his lover for real this time. So, there's no doubt for me to marry him.

Tomioka- By the way, how do you know that I'm your late brother?

Aiko- Uhh... someone told me that?

Tomioka- Hmm... Very well then.

(Meanwhile)

In deep of the void, ten people gather for a meeting. Everyone talking to each other. Some of them talk about their achievement, some of them talk about their daily life. Everything turns silent when alpha is suddenly present in their group. His name is Azazel.

Azazel- Come in, slave.

A man comes in.

Man-I'm sorry, I failed.

He never apologies to anyone and kill the man instantly.

Amon- What do you think about our new member?

Andras-Who? That kid? Tch... His weak.

Arioch- Don't underestimate him. That man saw it.

Andras- But he's still weak. He has no match with me.

Azazel- ENOUGH!!!!

Everyone-...

Azazel- Whatever happens, that boy is too dangerous to finish it. And his power is also well balanced. I never saw a boy who used dark power so well and fine.

Andras- I don't think so. He's just a coward boy, with no warrior spirit and no dignity. He has no right to sit at our table.

Azazel- you're right. Yet, the longer we wait, the stronger he will be. We can't let our guard down. Abaddon.

Abaddon- Yes!?

Azazel- Settle this boy and bring him to me.

Abaddon- As your command, master.

After that, the meeting was dismissed.

(Back to the world)

Aiko- Uhm... Tomoe-San?

Tomioka- Yes, Aiko-San. What is it?

Aiko- Can you do me a favor?

Tomioka- ???

But all of a sudden, she opens her shirt out of nowhere.

Tomioka- H-hey... Stop it.

Aiko- Do you know what is this sign?

After seeing her tattoos, I realized her tattoos are not random, but with a meaning on them. But don't understand it.

Tomioka- Uhm, sorry. I don't know what is that means. But it seems not ordinary tattoos.

I need to research these tattoos for her. Or I do see that before. But first, I need to find my teammates, also my friends.
