"Huh!? What!?" Norman shouted at Jun. Norman met up with Jun at the entrance of Izuzunu. Norman's sword was on the floor and he was trying to speak to Jun without a fight. Jun is talking but in a foreign language...
"namae wa?" Jun asked for Norman's name. "I don't understand what you're saying!" He shouted. "namae! namae! eigowakaranainda!" Jun shouted back.
"Speak English!!!" Norman was irritated.
Meanwhile, Chloe and Lilly were laughing in the distance behind a house. "Jun's so silly" Lilly said out loud. Chloe turns to Lilly to see her smiling at Jun. "Are you crushing on him?" Chloe asked. "What!? No! I-! What!?" Lilly shouted back but hesitated.
"Whatever" Norman walked away from the entrance of Izuzunu and picked up his sword. Jun went back with Chloe and Lilly "Haha! You saw his face!?"
Lilly turned around to look at Jun "Wait, what's wrong with your face? Are you sick?" Jun asked. Her face was blushing red as he gently placed his hands on her forehead. "I-" she stuttered, but Jun notices more members of the Chaos Team arriving "Ooh... you gotta be shitting me" he stood up and looked at them "Chloe... take Lilly to the hospital"
RISE OF IZUZUNU
VOLUME 5, CHAPTER 49, SAME TACTIC
XUANYU'S HOUSE
Xuanyu lays on his bed, getting ready to take a quick nap. Xuanyu yawns "Oh my god, it's been a long day. A knock was suddenly heard on Xuanyu's balcony. Xuanyu gets startled and realizes why would anyone be on his balcony. Xuanyu gets up from his bed "Hello?" He said, "Nugget is that you?"
No response. Xuanyu grabs his sword and gets ready to slash anyone who is out there. Xuanyu opens the blinds to see no one "Stop fucking with me!"
He quickly opened the door and walked outside onto the balcony, no one was found. "Hey," A girl on top of Xuanyu's rooftop showed up "What the-!?"
It's Rose. "Hey Rose, don't scare me like that" Xuanyu held his chest.
Moments later, Xuanyu let her into his house and they sat at the dining table. It was quiet. Xuanyu then thinks of what to say to try and break the silence. "So... why are you here for?" Xuanyu finally asked.
Rose looked Xuanyu in the eyes "You"
"Huh?" Xuanyu became confused "What are you talking about? I don't get it"
"Ever since I met you back at God's Kingdom... I've been thinking of moving here" She answered. Xuanyu understood "I see... we have plenty of houses for free if you wanna-" Rose cut him off "No... that's not what I want"
Xuanyu got irritated "Then what??"
She got up from the chair and stood in the room and smiled "You, Xuanyu. I want to live with you. I want to be with you"
Xuanyu began blushing "What..."
"When I first met you... all I could think about was your stupid face" She laughed "Could this be... love"
He stood up and walked close to her "I'm sorry... but I can't trust you... or... maybe right now I can't... you could be planning something on me... making me feel awkward"
She grabbed Xuanyu on the shoulders and went in for a kiss. Xuanyu's eyes widened as shock filled his emotions. Xuanyu didn't know what to do. He stood there as she continued to kiss him. He closes his eyes and just lets the moment sink in. He grabs the back of her head, but she quickly stops "I'm sorry... I'm sorry"
"Wait," Xuanyu says as Rose takes off and starts walking out of the house "Wait!"
"I shouldn't have done that!" She puts on her wings and flies away through the skies. Xuanyu looked up and watched her fly away from his house. "Rose," He said as he touched his lips with his index finger.
CLAY'S HOUSE
"Yeah, you should definitely set up traps," Clay said to Jun as he drank his sodizu. "True. We never know if they'd be lurking around our place while we're sleeping at night" Jun said. "I guess this is our plan for today. Everyone! Set up traps in your homes!" Jun commanded.
The rest of the LCI split up to set up traps in their houses "Make them deadly!" Jun shouted and smiled "They're not gonna know what hit 'em!"
"I have something to talk to you about" Merp walks into Clay's land as Clay stands up quickly with his hand gripped on the handle of his sword, which is on the side of his hips. Jun and Clay looked serious as Clay pulled out his sword.
"Jun, haven't we talked about this before? I'm here to help... please... trust me... this will be useful for your kingdom" Merp drops his sword again. "What is it" Jun still held his sword.
He picks his sword back up "It's Leonardo and Moon... and... I have news about them... I think you gave the wrong people your armor"
Jun slowly puts his sword down as Clay does the same "What do you mean!? What are you talking about??" Clay shouted at Merp. "They're not who you think they are... I was talking with Toast the other day to blend in with the Chaos Team, but I didn't mention anything about siding with you, but Leonardo and Moon did" He explained. "They... did?" Jun asked. "Yeah, Leonardo yelled out that he successfully sided with you guys and that the Chaos Team now has the upper hand" Merp explained.
"They did?" Clay asked. "Yes, me and Cyclone overheard their conversation and we realized we have to tell you right away!" Merp shouted. "Who the hell is Cyclone!?" Clay shouted. "Cyclone" Jun's eyes widened. He realizes that one of the Chaos Team's members was Cyclone who tried talking to him back when Lilly was sick.
Merp begins to explain more news "Toast also said he has a plan now and the plan is to use the same tactic you used in the Wood War, Jun. He says he knows how you are and that we will use spies on you"
Jun's face was shocked the entire time while Clay was angry "That little bitch!" Clay shouted as he stood up in anger "This is it... I'm going to kill Leonardo and Moon!!"
Merp turns around and heads out of Clay's land "That's it for today! I'll tell you more tomorrow! Remember! I'm on your side, Jun!!"
Jun starts shaking in anger as his sword glows in red; flames slowly bursting out "Leo and Moon..." Clay and Jun looked at each other with an enraged face "Let's go kill those son of a bitches!"
IZUZUNU ENTRANCE
It's dusk. The sun is about to set as the LCI is out waiting for Leo and Moon to arrive at Izuzunu again. "I see someone!" Lilly pointed.
They all hid behind the building of the first house, waiting for Leo and Moon, but it was just Leo who was at the entrance. "What do we do?" George asked.
"Nine against one?" Mikey asked the others. "Yeah... nine against one" Clay said while Xuanyu quickly noticed "That's not fair. He's outnumbered," he said out loud, but the LCI couldn't hear. "Yes! This is good! This is good!" Chloe shouted quietly in excitement to finally have a battle.
"No, it's not a fair fight!" Xuanyu yells. Everyone looked at him "What?"
"We should wait until the war-" Xuanyu couldn't finish his sentence "No... this is for siding and betraying Izuzunu" Clay said while looking at Xuanyu dead in the eyes, still angry about earlier.
"No! Don't-!" Xuanyu tried to stop them as Clay began dashing through the paths and slashed Leo in the arms "Aah!" Leo shouted. The wound wasn't deep, luckily.
The rest began running too as Xuanyu and Lilly watched. Lilly turns to Xuanyu and pulls out her sword "I'm sorry, but I'm gonna do this for our country" She runs out of hiding and yells "Hyah!!"
Xuanyu watches "We're... the villains... aren't we?"
"What's wrong with you guys!? I'm on your side!" Leo shouted out loud "Please!"
"Yeah? You're on our side!? Then why did you tell your stupid leader, Toast, your plans to be his spies!!? Your plans to be his spy!!" Mikey shouted out loud.
"What-... what!?" Leo shouted back with a frightened and confused tone "When did I ever say that!? Are you guys pranking me!!?"
Chloe begins to talk "Merp, he told us everything. He told us that you and Moon are not truly on our side"
"Merp is the one not on your side! He's the one that wanted to kill all of the Izuzunians!" Leo shouted, "He even said that out loud in the Chaos Team hideout!!"
"Yeah? Well, then why would he say that in the first place?" Evelyn asked, aiming her crossbow at Leo's face.
"Why... why would he? Maybe Merp is plotting something... maybe he's saying this so we would kill Leo and Moon... What if he lied to us that Leo and Moon were truly not on our side... but they are!" Xuanyu says in his head.
"Shit!" Xuanyu hits the walls next to him "If that's the case then... we shouldn't kill Leo-"
"I'm a money man! I made a deal with Jun and we shook on it! I never lie! I'm not that type of guy! He said he'd give me sushi for life, so I'll accept that!!! Please!!!" Everyone stared at Leo in a circle, ready to attack at any moment.
"Is this... it" Leo says in his head "Are they all really gonna trust Merp like that?"
Leo then in fear asks "In fact, where is Jun!? I need to talk to him badly! Let me see him-!" Evelyn cut him out and yelled, "Shut up!"
"They're gonna kill me... I have... nothing to do... how am I going to avoid this? I should've gone with Moon, god damn it! Fuck!" He shouted in his head.
"You're dead... We have to tell Jun that we can't trust a single soul from Chaos Team anymore" 07 says. "No... you can trust me" Leo starts shaking "You can trust me! I am truly on your guy's side-!"
As he was talking, Nugget threw a knife toward Leo. Leo blocks it with his sword in shock.
"I'm tired of talking... let's kill this guy," Nugget said while the rest slowly walked up closer to Leo with their weapons.
"I'm sorry... Jun... I guess I'm gonna have to kill these members of yours" Leo closes his eyes as he begins to tear up "Sorry... Jun"
