"I told them," Toast says to everybody there, "I told them that I'm gonna bring chaos to their kingdom"
Everybody else smiled "So then it's starting... the war," Hades says as he gets up from his chair.
Hades is their best fighter. He's super strong... but we don't know if he's as strong as Mark or Phoenix. Toast also stood up with Hades "Yes... the war... there will be blood! Blood!! Blood!!!"
"Crackhead" a boy insulted. "Shut up, you child" Toast made a comeback.
RISE OF IZUZUNU
VOLUME 5, CHAPTER 42, ANNOUNCEMENT
THE TOURNAMENT ARENA
"Three... two... one, GO!!" Xuanyu shouted as they both ran towards each other and made their first swing.
The swords clash with each other as they both block, dodge, and hit. Jun manages to hit Clay's chest plate with his wooden sword. They used fake swords, so no one would be injured during the training.
Clay suddenly falls to the ground "Ow" He gets back up and charges at Jun. Jun evades all of Clay's attacks and kicks him in the stomach. Clay falls in mid-air, Jun leans back and lifts his legs as he push-kicks Clay to the ground.
"Aah!" Clay fell to the ground. Jun dashes to Clay with his sword and points it at Clay's neck "That's one point for me" He smiled.
"You know... with skills like that, I think you can take on Toast pretty easily," Clay said. "You think so?" Jun throws the fake sword on the floor.
"But... what if he has a whole army of people? He said his goal is to bring chaos to villages... how does he do it himself? He has to have had an army with him, right?" Clay wondered.
"Yeah... I think we should tell everyone right now rather than training" Jun suggested. "Yeah..." Clay agreed as they both ran out of the arena to tell everyone.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Xuanyu shouted.
THE NEXT DAY
"Announcement!" Jun shouted onto the microphone of the election stage. That caught everyone's attention; some did not even pay attention because it was Jun speaking.
Every member of the LCI happened to be there "What's going on?" Phoenix asked. "War" Jun with a serious face said.
"Another war might start! Against... the Chaos Team! The three strangers that entered SukiSushi that day were the members of the Chaos Team! And they plan to invade us and bring chaos to Izuzunu! That's what... they said" Jun explained.
"Oh... oh no!" "No way!" "Another war!?" "We have to hide in the basements!" The citizens shouted in fear. "Oh no!! Jun's going to betray us again and bring chaos along with them!" A man shouted in the crowd.
Everyone went silent to hear what the man had just said.
"No... no!" "That sounds like something Jun would do!" "He's a monster!" "Who would've known?" "Kill him right there!" "Kill him before he can join their side!!" They yelled louder.
"Shut up!!" Jun yelled onto the microphone.
The crowd went silent "I would never do such a thing... Do you really think I would do that!? I told you!! The plan in the wood war was to become one of his fake allies!!! Not side with him you dumbasses!!"
Jun ran and kicked a flower pot on the election stage onto the ground "There is no hope for us to win the war if you guys keep this up... the disrespect and the hatred against someone!! You, citizens, need to shut the fuck up and respect him for even trying to protect you guys!!" Xuanyu shouted.
"You guys are disgusting... Every LCI member goes to war for this country and this is how you treat one of them!!? Hm? Maybe we should all sit back and relax and watch you all die, does that sound fucking right!!?" Xuanyu kicks a box full of food onto the ground.
The crowd of citizens screamed and were scared. They didn't know how to act when another war was going to start. "Bow down before me" Xuanyu spoke into the mic.
A woman began bowing down "Please... president... protect us! We don't want to die!" Everyone else began begging.
Phoenix walks the stairs into the election stage "Be quiet" Phoenix says "We got this... we will protect everyone here... so... have faith in us! And in Jun too! We're all on the same team!"
Everyone got up off the floor and stared at Jun "Please... do your best to protect us" the woman said. Jun looked at her and said "Of course"
He jumps off the stage and walks away from everyone else. Phoenix runs to him to follow. "Jun!" He shouted.
Phoenix slowly walks with Jun "Jun... is this true? Another war?"
"Yes, why would I be lying about this" Jun answered. "Don't worry, we're gonna win, I'm a good fighter like Mark, this war will end very quickly if they try invading us right now" Phoenix assured.
"We still don't know how many members are in the Chaos Team" Jun explained "If there are over a hundred members, then we'll definitely lose this country and all die"
"What do you mean? You think there will really be over one hundred people in a stupid ass chaos group?" He asked. "Now that I think about it, no" Jun looked up "But, never expect it to go how you want" Jun patted Phoenix's shoulders and continued walking.
THE WOODS
"Hah!!" Chloe screamed out loud as she sliced a tree in half with her sword. She gasps for air, heavily out of breath.
Lilly and Evelyn came from the bushes "Careful there, you can give Moises those trees"
Chloe laughed "Haha... that's very funny"
Lilly and Evelyn sat on the log with Chloe and stared at the lake next to them. "It's starting" Evelyn spoke. "What?" Chloe asked.
"Another war," She said with a serious tone. Chloe's facial expression turned into shock as she got up "You're joking"
Lilly also gets up "She's not!... It's true... Toast is starting it"
Chloe sat back down "What do we do now?"
The forest goes quiet as all they can hear is the birds chirping and the waves of the lake hitting the shores.
Chloe gets memories of the raid war. "Kayla" She spoke out. "Hm? Who is that?" Lilly asked.
Chloe smiled "She was a good friend... we used to hang out a lot back in Hwalshindo.. we were the best of friends... until Piller came"
"Sorry," Lilly says. "We all lose people important to us," Evelyn said "Like my sons"
Lilly smiled "I'm sure your sons are still alive"
"Thanks" Evelyn thanked. Chloe jumped off the logs and began heading through the forest "Let's get back to training"
GOD'S KINGDOM ENTRANCE
"Wow" Jun was amazed "God's Kingdom is... finished"
"Looks nice... it kind of looks like Feiburg and the other kingdoms out in the world," Phoenix said. "Yeah," Jun opens the walls with a lever and a key.
"The walls! It's actually opening! They did a great job on the electrical wires" Phoenix laughed "I'm not really good with electricity myself"
"Same" Jun says. Jun and Phoenix enter God's Kingdom to find a whole new town. It was so bright inside with lights and lanterns hanging on the lamppost. The houses looked amazing and the trails too.
Jun notices two structures made of the same materials as the walls "I think... that's my house" Jun walks to the huge structure.
He then looks up and sees a huge surprise... it was Eungi's face.
Eungi Statue was built on top of Jun's house "No... no way! Eungi!" Jun shouted out in happiness "They didn't forget about Eungi!"
Jun began to shed tears "Eungi... Kyle, Summer, Kayla, Coen, Collin, Tidus, Roselyn... Melanie" He gets a short vision of their deaths.
"You okay?" Phoenix asked. "I'm okay" Jun opens the doors to the huge structure "Woah" It was a huge room with a throne at the end of it. God's Throne.
"There it is.. your throne" Phoenix smiled. "No" Jun replied "It's not my throne. It's God's Throne" Jun laughed and left the building.
"I think my real house is this one," He said. It's a house the same size as the others, but the thing is that it's made of the same black bricked materials as the walls "Definitely my house for sure" Jun enters.
It was a small room with a kitchen, bed, and everything else you'd need to live. "This is perfect" Jun smiled.
"Jun" Phoenix was smiling too, but needed to tell Jun something "I gotta show you something" I mean show.
They walk out of the walls of God's Kingdom and head behind God's Kingdom, where the swamp is located.
"What is it?" He asked. "Mark told me that you almost unleashed your fire spellbinds back at the election stage. I figured that I should show you mine" He smiled as he grabbed his sword out.
"What?? Fire spellbind?" Jun questioned as Phoenix began to demonstrate.
"Fire, fire, the fire spellbind!" He shouted as blue flames burst from his body and began heating the grounds and the air.
The fire aura surrounds Phoenix... it looks so cool.
"Woah... I could do that!!?" Jun asked. "Yeah, but it's not gonna be blue like mine" Phoenix answered as he walked toward Jun "Don't worry, you won't get affected by the fires"
Jun was amazed "Teach me!" He shouted. "I will, but it's dangerous. You have to control the fire and make sure it doesn't go everywhere once you release the energy" Phoenix said.
"Easy! Let's do it!" Jun exclaimed. "It's easier said than done, Jun" The fire vanishes from Phoenix "Oh" Jun replied.
"Don't worry.. you'll only unleash it when you're under pressure or very angry" He says. "Then how did you release the flames? Are you angry right now?" Jun asked.
"No, I can control it. I'll teach you how to do it soon" Phoenix said. "Thank you!" Jun shouts and smiles.
"What color would mine be?" Jun asked. "Just normal fire color. I have azure fire" Phoenix answered.
FARMLAND, NIGHT
"Damn it!" Evelyn said to herself out loud "It... can't be"
Chloe, Evelyn, and Lilly are farming in Chloe's garden after a long day of training in the woods. They're picking the vegetables and wheat.
"Will we win this war though?" Lilly asked. "I'm not sure" Chloe answered. "Why now all of a sudden?" Evelyn asks herself.
MIKEY & GEORGE'S HOUSE
"We have to prepare this time! I think the president will let us fight in the war again!" George shouted. "Yeah," Mikey says.
JUN'S OLD HOUSE
"There's no way" Helena was surprised. She's in her bed with the blanket over her.
MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
Xuanyu, Nugget, and 07 are out killing zombies for materials for their stuff.
PHOENIX'S HOUSE
Phoenix sat on his couch all day just cleaning his sword from killing a bunch of brutes all day.
CLAY'S LAND
Clay was out, still building his house. His house walls were almost finished, but all he's gonna need is his doors.
GOD'S KINGDOM
Jun sat in his bed in God's Kingdom. His new house. He still owns his old house though. Jun is thinking about the outcome of the Blood War "Will we... win?"
