Chloe walks to the front "Hey... Xuanyu"
Xuanyu then turned around and walks out of the scene "No no no no!! I am not talking to any of you guys!"
Chloe then continued to follow him with 07 "Xuanyu!"
"No!" Xuanyu kept speed walking away while Chloe kept talking "Xuanyu!! This is important, okay!!? We need your help!"
"No, you don't need my help! Leave me alone, you shouldn't be here!!" Xuanyu kept walking turning from street to street.
"Come on, Xuangu! Help us!!" Chloe shouted.
"No! I don't wanna talk to that bastard, Jun, anymore!!" Xuanyu shouted until Chloe shouts "Jun's dead!"
Xuanyu finally stops "He's... dead" she said as her tears began pouring.
Xuanyu slowly turned around in shock. The other members finally arrived.
Xuanyu looked at them all looking sad and depressed "What?" Xuanyu said.
RISE OF IZUZUNU
VOLUME 9, CHAPTER 105, EX-PRESIDENT
"So... he was killed in battle by Ad" Xuanyu repeated what they had just explained.
They are in Xuanyu's house sitting in the kitchen "Yes" Chloe answered.
"And it was all this one dude's idea? Hyeonin? His idea to create a better government for Izuzunu because Jun was bad?" Xuanyu asked.
"Yeah, well it wasn't as bad, but Jun was just... He's changed a lot since Blood War.. And he's become a lot cruel now" Chloe answered "But I don't think he deserves to be treated that way after all he's gone through"
"I don't believe so too... I've also changed" Xuanyu said "I believe my actions back in Blood War was.. idiotic... I'm sorry guys"
"It's okay, Xuanyu" Chloe smiled "None of this was your fault or Jun's"
Xuanyu smiled "Thanks, Chloe"
"Hey Xuanyu" Rose smiled as she walks in the room "Woah, you have guests over"
Her stomach was huge as she is pregnant.
"Oh, it's you Izuzunians! I haven't seen you guys in so long!!" Rose smiled and hugged them all.
"What is that!!" George shouted and pointed at her belly.
"Oh this? My baby... our baby" Rose smiled and looked at Xuanyu.
"You're pregnant!!?" Chloe shouted.
"Oh my god, congratulations Rose and Xuanyu!!" Lilly smiled.
Xuanyu gets up and stood with Rose "This is our baby, Xinyi"
"Or Daiyu if it's a girl" Rose smiled.
"Oh, yes right" Xuanyu said and smiled.
Chloe laughs "You guys are a happy couple now I see, it's good you guys are happy now"
"Yeah" Xuanyu and Rose looked at each other and smiled.
"Enough of this now, sorry to ruin the moment" Phoenix stood up from his chair "We need your help, Xuanyu"
"What do you need help with?" Xuanyu held Rose and slowly sat her down on a chair.
"Edison's in trouble" Phoenix answered.
"What kind of trouble?" Xuanyu sat down on his chair.
"He's captured by the Doomgaders and we need to save him from them as soon as possible!" Phoenix continued.
Xuanyu looked worried "Really?..."
"Yes, will you help us save him? We need more members; the six of us won't be enough to take on the entire Doomgader Base by ourselves, we need some of your army too" Phoenix says.
"I'm sorry guys... I actually can't help you guys with that" Xuanyu said with a sad face.
"Why not??" Phoenix asked.
"Well.. Rose is pregnant, I have to take care of her" Xuanyu answered "I'm so sorry guys, but I think you might have to find someone else"
"I see" Phoenix says "That's fine then... I understand.. But can we take some of your army?"
"Army? We don't have an army" Xuanyu says.
"How do you protect your village??" Phoenix questioned.
Xuanyu answers "We flip a lever and once we flip it, a huge wall rises up from the ground and surrounds the entire village"
"I see..." Phoenix says "Please" Mark finally joined the conversation.
"Huh?" Xuanyu said.
Mark walks up to Xuanyu and grabs his shoulders "Please... Xuanyu... you're all we have left to save Edison... he's gonna die if you don't come, please Xuanyu"
Xuanyu was silence as he looked down at the table "I.... I can't"
Mark lets go of him "Okay then" he said as he sat back down on his chair.
Rose looked at them "I'm sorry guys" she says "You guys can stay over for dinner though. We can also give you lots of food and water for your adventure"
"Thank you.. We'll take it" Phoenix smiles.
Later that day, Xuanyu was in his room looking at the ceiling on his bed. He laid there just thinking about the problems.
Then he looked at the wall with his katana sitting on the wall. He thinks about joining them. Then he nods his head "No, I can't" he said.
Rose enters the room and says "I think you should go with them"
Xuanyu gets up and turns toward the door "Rose? What are you talking about? I have to take care of you"
"No.. You don't have to take care of me, Xuanyu, I can take care of myself" she smiled "You friends need you the most right now"
"Really?" Xuanyu asked.
Rose sat on the bed next to Xuanyu "Go" she says "Go out there and save Edison from the Doomgaders, I believe in you"
Xuanyu smiles "Fine"
They both kiss and then laid on the bed next to each other. Phoenix ends up knocking on the door "Sorry to ruin the moment, but Xuanyu.. I need to talk to you"
Xuanyu gets out of bed "I'll be right back, Rose" he says.
"What is it?" Xuanyu asked Phoenix in the living room.
Earlier that day, Xuanyu helped make their bed on the floor using a mat, blankets, and pillows. The LCI were still awake.
"Are you sure you're not going to help us save Edison?" Phoenix asked.
"Oh, I am coming" Xuanyu smiled "I was gonna tell you guys tomorrow morning when we leave"
"Oh! Good!" Phoenix says and smiles "Now we have seven members" George smiled and looked at Chloe.
"We still need more people though" Mark said "Seven is not enough to take on a whole kingdom"
"I'm sure their gears are weak" Phoenix laughs.
"I have two more people that can come help us" Xuanyu says.
"Who?" Phoenix asks.
"Dino, you guys probably know him, and Rodrigo, another villager in this village" Xuanyu answered.
"Alright, that's great. Nine people now" Phoenix said.
"Yeah" Xuanyu says and then yawns "Are we done here? I'm tired as heck"
"Yeah" Phoenix replied "Let's go to bed; we'll wake up early and head out"
Xuanyu walks back into his bedroom and closes the door. He drops himself in bed and cuddles Rose to sleep.
MORNING
Everyone was getting ready to head out to the Doomgader's base. Xuanyu starts an announcement in town and stood on top of crates "Citizens of Solaris Village!.. I have an announcement"
Everyone stopped doing what they were doing and walks to the center to listen silently.
Xuanyu stared at everyone "I will be leaving Solaris today to go on a mission with my old friends.. We have an important person who was kidnapped by the hands of the Doomgaders... So we'll have to go inside and rescue Edison!... If I don't make it back... Rose will be the new leader of Solaris"
They looked saddened. A kid shouts out "But you'll be back right!?"
Xuanyu didn't smile "We don't know for sure" he answered.
"Aww" the kid says.
"Yes it will be tragic... But I'm doing it for my friends.. Wish me luck on this journey to save Edison!" Xuanyu shouted as the crowd shouts "Good luck!! Xuanyu!"
"Thank you all for having me" Xuanyu hops off the crates and walks away with the LCI.
Later at Rodrigo's house, Xuanyu knocks on the door. Rodrigo opens the door and smiled "Hey! Xuanyu!! And-.... who are you guys?"
"We need your help" Xuanyu says "We need to save an Izuzunian from the Doomgaders and I told them that you and Rodrigo would help us, so will you?"
"Will I?" Rodrigo says "Heck yeah!" he shuts the door and runs around his house looking for his gears.
A few moments later, Rodrigo opens the doors and shut it behind him "I'm ready!"
"Good" Xuanyu smiled.
THE DOOM BRIGADE BASE
"You piece of shit!!" Cole continuously punches Edison in the stomach a couple of time "Ah!" Edison yelled everytime.
Cole stops and grabs him by neck "You fucking liar!!"
Edison smiles "You're so blind and stupid, look harder, you bitch!"
Cole socks him in the face as Edison spits out blood on the floor "You're lucky I haven't killed you yet, Edison.. But if you keep pissing me off like this" Cole leaned toward him "I'm going to kill you in the most painful death you can ever experience"
Cole walks away and locks the cell shut and walks away as Edison closes his eyes again "God damn it, Mark... Jun... where are you guys?"
Edison looked around the room "Is there any ways to escape this place?" he asked himself "I guess not" he gives up and looked at the ground "Please... hurry over here... Jun"
