MINUTES EARLIER
"Remember, we're not there to destroy Izuzunu, okay? You guys understand?" Jun said. "Yeah, we understand. So what is our goal anyway?" Quin questioned.
"Our goal" Jun answered "Is to take back Izuzunu and our plans are to kill all the South Izuzunians in their little hiding place and kill the rest of the SCI... and we'll have to also all of the Chaos Team members"
"Okay, I get it. So we're gonna take back our country in cold blood?" Lexie asked. "Yeah, is there any other way we could do it?" Mikey joined. "No" Jun answers their questions. "Well, I'm just there to kill Hades, he annoys me for some reason" George smirked while leaning on the walls in the meeting room.
The LCI was quiet, thinking of another way to take the country back. "Yeah, there's no other way" Cyclone spoke out "But, we can ask everyone to surrender, but I don't think the Chaos Team and the SCI will surrender to us"
"So that's it then. We're gonna have to kill everyone" Evelyn stood up from the chair "And stop the Chaos Team from destroying Izuzunu"
"Yeah, and Lexie" Jun faces toward the little girl "You can't join us in the battle. You're too young and have no battle experience. You're going to the caves with the rest of the citizens"
"Okay," Lexie says. "Thanks for caring about my little sister" Pierce smiled. "I care about everyone here" Jun responded.
"Alright then, what are we waiting for? Sun's almost down" Ren spoke out, exiting the meeting room.
The sun is finally setting as everyone walks through the paths with their new armor and weapons on their sides. They changed the way the armors look, they aren't big and aren't too small and still give them the power of plas.
Xuanyu walks with his group of people and the SCI as they slowly walk to the battle. "Remember the plan," Phoenix says to Xuanyu as Xuanyu grips his katana tightly "Yes, they will remember"
"The time will come, Jun. Where you can show your true strength to everyone!!" Jun shouts at himself in his head and remembers Summer saying those words to him.
Hades, the kalkruts they've teamed up with, and the Chaos Team members walk through the western paths of Izuzunu near the nightclub with their auras surrounding them and looking scarier than ever.
"Jun... you're my best friend... don't cry," Melanie said in Jun's head.
"Hahahahaha!!!" Hades laughs hysterically "The battle is finally happening!! I'm so hyped for this shit!!" The rest of the Chaos Team smiles as the kalkruts join and smile as well.
"Jun... take care of everyone for me, okay?" Kyle said in Jun's head. Jun and his team arrive at the bridge and borders of North Izuzunu and enter, walking closer and closer to the election stage.
"That bastard" Jun looked at Xuanyu with a furious face "His head will be mine!!" he shouted in his head.
Everyone stops in front of each other as Xuanyu stands in the south, Hades in the west, and Jun in the north. They form a triangle, looking at both of their enemies.
"Jun, you have the power to stop this battle!" Xuanyu says to Jun "And you can join our side once again!"
Jun makes a fist and tightens his katana "You can go to hell" he says. "So then that's it..." Hades smiles "The battle for Izuzunu... finally starts... This battle is for Leo and the new king; me"
"This battle is for my country," Xuanyu says.
"This battle..." Jun spoke last "Is for the Izuzunu Empire"
RISE OF IZUZUNU
VOLUME 6, CHAPTER 71, BLOOD WAR: INITIATION
THE CAVE SHELTER
"Here. Take some bread, little girl" A woman walks up to Lexie as she hands her some bread to eat while they wait out for the war. "Thank you" Lexie smiled. The woman walked away and sat down next to the wall.
The entire room was bright from the lights Jun and his team put up for the people. There is another room in the shelter where people can sleep. The room they're in is the eating room, kind of like a cafeteria.
Lexie grabs a bottle of sodizu and walks towards a table filled with girls. She sat down as the girls looked at her with a smile "Hi! What's your name?"
"Lexie" she answered with a smile as well. She stops smiling as she looks at her bread and takes a bite "I wonder if they're winning the battle right now..."
XUANYU'S SAFE SHELTER, JUN'S OLD HOUSE
"Alright, so we have to try to sneak our way inside Jun's house without them knowing," Pierce said in his head. The battle hasn't started yet, so Pierce and Helena are sneaking their way around the people while trying to get inside Jun's old house without getting caught.
They began sprinting quietly through the paths as they entered Jun's yard and hid behind the walls "Oh my god! That was close!" Helena shouted. Pierce breathes in "Yeah..."
"Hey, the door's opened" Helena realized. "Okay, let's go inside," Pierce said while they began walking up the stairs to the door. They go through the door and into the house and spot no one "Where are they??" Helena asked quietly "Maybe we've been tricked into coming here to kill everyone!"
"No, they're underground; under the basement. Around fifty meters under to be exact" Pierce looked at the grounds in Jun's house "Didn't Jun originally have a basement installed here?"
They go down to the basement Jun built and see all of Jun's stuff stolen "These people are thieves I see" Helena said "This place used to be my house"
"Alright, we gotta be careful when entering the safe shelter. There might be guards and other people in there" Pierce added "So, be careful"
"Yeah," Helena responded. "So do we start digging under this basement?" Helena asked. "No, it's better if we look for a way to get into the safe shelter. Look around and maybe break a couple of walls and floors while you're at it" Pierce walks around the basement and starts moving books in the bookshelves and breaking the floors.
Helena does the same on the other side of the room. Pierce finds a person behind a few crates and grabs him on the shirt "Aah!!!" the guy screams out as Helena runs to Pierce and hits the guy in the head.
Pierce lifts him and smacks his back onto the bookshelf "Aah!" the guy was in pain "Where is it!? Where is the safe shelter and how do I get in!!?" Pierce shouted at the guy.
"You'll never get in there, hahaha" The guy laughed in pain as Pierce stabbed the man's foot. The man screamed, but Pierce shuts him up by punching his face "Why weren't you with the rest of them!?"
"They left me here" the guy looked depressed as he looked down "Once the time came for everyone to enter the safe shelter, they left me and closed the doors! I was right by the door too!! And they told me that it was full! But clearly, it wasn't!"
"I see" Helena replied "Did they really do that?"
"Yeah" the guy grabs onto Pierce's shoulders "I don't care about them anymore, so..." the man stood up and pointed at the floor at the corner of the room "The door should be under that plank of wood"
"Oh..." Pierce looked at the man "Thank you. Come on Helena!" Pierce commanded as she ran with him to the other side of the room and broke open the floor to see a door that led to a stairway down to the basement.
Pierce turns around and looks at the man. "Go kill them for me!" the guy shouted across the room. "We will" Pierce replied and jumped into the staircase.
They began running through the stairs down into the basement and managed to make it there "So, there were no guards in here, huh? What a stupid security system" Pierce spoke in his head. They find the door that leads to a huge room in the shelter. "You ready? Helena?" Pierce asked. "Yes, let's kill everyone!!" Helena shouted as she broke open the door to the huge bright room and sliced one of the guards' heads off.
"Aaaah!!!" The people began yelling "The North Izuzunians are here to slaughter us!!!" everyone began running everywhere, hiding behind walls and tables.
Helena runs into the crowd and kills everyone in an instant as Pierce stays behind and throws knives at the people and guards. "I'll block the door!" Pierce shouted as he did what he said.
"I'm so sorry" Helena walks through the crowd while watching them all running "I'm sorry!!" Helena uses her slasher spellbind and slices everyone's body in half. Everyone in the room was scared "Why!!? How did they get in!!?" "God damn it Xuanyu! Why didn't you make another exit!!?" "We're all gonna die!!"
Then out of nowhere, a boy walks into Helena's view and looks at her "It's time for you to die!!" Serwer dashes straight to Helena and slices her right arm off "Aaaah!!!" Helena screamed as she fell to the ground in pain.
"Helena!!" Pierce rushes to her, but Serwer dashes to Pierce and kicks him down to the ground "Not so fast! Murderer!!"
Pierce was on the floor, looking at Helena in pain "Helena..." he reaches his arms out.
ELECTION STAGE GROUNDS
They all looked at each other in anger and began screaming at the top of their lungs as they sprinted toward each other's groups and clashed their swords. Xuanyu's north team, Jay's team, runs from hiding and tries to attack the LCI from behind, but they already know it, thanks to Pierce being a spy.
Jun gets knocked over and flies towards a building and breaks the walls into the building. He got up and looked at the person who kicked him.
"Moon" Jun says with an angry face. Xuanyu joined as Moon and Xuanyu looked back with a furious face "This is for Leo!!!" Moon shouted out loud. Jun walks out of the building with Xuanyu's katana and says nothing, but just looks at them with a stern face. The battle finally starts against Moon.
