In a secluded section of the Forest where the Bomber had last been seen, the nameless male stood before a waterfall as he knelt down before it.
'' Grant me entry. ''
The dark magatama earrings that dangled off his ears resonated with the waterfall and opened up a hidden path which allowed him access into a secret headquarters contained within.
Various armored soldiers acknowledged his entry as he passed by them so that he could speak to his superiors and within this expansive space there was various hallways leading to rooms that allowed for these soldiers to sleep and eat.
The Bomber had been one of these rank-and-file soldiers but he chose to work individually from the pack and acquired strength that put him a bit ahead of them and it naturally made him see himself better than the rest.
He walked towards the far end of the outpost, standing before a giant purple door where he'd present his right hand to the door. The door didn't react so he loosened up the bandages on his right hand, revealing a dark mark on his hand that resonated alongside his magatama earrings to allow the doors to open.
The Chamber that awaited the bomber was quite regal , laid out with a giant purple carpet and ten dark crystal platforms that projected holograms of people with appearances too ill-defined to make out after a few minutes of the Bomber entering the chamber.
'' So what do you have to report to us? ''
One of the holograms spoke to the Bomber, the voice sounded like a female and it wanted to know why the chamber was opened and why they were called.
'' There is another Hiroshi. ''
The 10 went silent after hearing what the Bomber said as a male spoke in response to the Soldier.
'' If you are referring to the Mother, we know she exists but she is too far away for us to consider her a problem. ''
With the words leaving the mouth of a hologram whose voice was masculine, the Bomber shook his head.
'' No that's not who I'm referring to. The younger brother of the Ruler, not their mother. I found him in a nearby village. '' He quickly replied to his superiors.
'' And? Where is he? Did you kill him? ''
The collective 10 asked all at once to the Bomber who knew he was in deep trouble to admit that he couldn't deal with it.
'' I failed, he got away due to help from his friend. I want to ask for permission to use the power of Malevolent Dissonance to ensure that I can deal with him. ''
The 10 went silent as they murmured at a volume that the Bomber could not hear. They needed to discuss amongst themselves whether or not he was allowed to use the forbidden power that would regularly kill the rank-and-file soldiers but he sounded too confident that he could handle what it entailed.
That power allowed him to transcend his limits at a cost but if he couldn't afford the transaction then he'd lose his sanity or his very life itself. Considering the cost of letting him live, they had no other choice.
'' Very well, we've decided that you have permission to wield that power. Don't come back to this outpost until the job is done and if you can find that runaway, we will consider promoting you. ''
The ten had faded away, their projections had left. The Bomber had bowed in response to their leniency and this opportunity for him to ascend in the rankings of the organization.
'' The Dark Hand will completely consume japan and I thank the 10 commanders that I can be the one to stomp out the last pillar of the Tenkyoku Empire. ''
The Bomber had gotten up and left the conference room as he prepared to hunt the boy.
He knew he couldn't mess this up after being given permission to wield that forbidden power but he was confident.
That power would most likely be used as insurance that he'd have a 100% success rate but he doubted that the kid would catch him off guard again. The boy was a fool but he did surprise the Bomber but never again. He won't allow that to happen again.
'' I'm stronger, I'm more experienced. There's no way in hell I'll allow things to go the same way again. ''
He left the outpost, leaving the waterfall and returning to the forest as he looked up at the night-sky as he assured himself that it was only a matter of time.
'' No matter the cost, no matter how many people that has to die for my goal.. I will end his life with my power, before he becomes someone formidable. ''
He had already saw it for himself, a kid like that almost made him wary and briefly afraid but next time.... Next time he'll use everything in his disposal to completely obliterate him.
Meanwhile, back at the hut where Seiya and Sakura were sleeping ; the boy sneezed which caused Sakura to wake up.
'' Is everything okay? ''
The girl asked the white haired boy.
'' Yeah I'm alright, just had a weird feeling roll up my spine. We should get some more sleep in before we begin training. ''
