Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The Masked Men

[Yuga woke up early in the morning and noticed that he was late for school]

Yuga: Oh shit! I'm late!

[Yuga looked at his watch and noticed that it was 5:55 am, he rushed out and did his chores around the house, cooked early morning breakfast and went into the shower, when he finished, he hurriedly wore his clothes and headed out.]

Yuga: [thinking whilst running] I've never overslept before, what happened?

[AT SCHOOL]

Yuga: *sighs* well at least no one is here so I can still have my quiet time.

[The main reason why Yuga would always come to school so early was to spend time alone and reminisce about things that have happened to him and prepare a bit before actual class starts.]

[LUNCH BREAK]

Yuga: [thinking] I don't know why I can't get that girl and what she said out of my mind.

[Yuga thought about that mysterious girl throughout his entire lunch break and it was time for the next period.]

[BELL RINGS FOR LUNCH OVER]

Yuga: *surprised* Oh what the? I missed my entire lunch break? well, I guess we have mythology now. [Teacher walks in]

Teacher: Good afternoon class [class responds] Well today, we have a new student coming to our school, you can come in [Girl walks in]. Everyone, this is Hannah Bellion and she'll be in this class from now onwards make sure to help her out.

Yuga: *eyes widen* [thinking] ITS HER?! SHE'S THE NEW STUDENT?????

Teacher: You can sit by Yuga near the window, he's the only one with extra space fit for another person.

Hannah: [embarrassingly] alright [walks over to Yuga's desk and smiles abruptly]

Hannah: Can I sit beside you?

Yuga: *in shock* a-alright.

[The lesson went on nonetheless even though Yuga was in shock that the girl she had been thinking about had come to her school.]

[The bell rang for the end of the school day but Yuga decided to stay behind and question Hannah.]

Yuga: Why are you here?

Hannah: [laughs it off] Am I not allowed to come to this school?

Yuga: Are you stalking me? and what was all of the nonsense about the Great Warrior or whatever.

Hannah: Wel- [Looks at clock on the wall] oh well I think I'll have to go now, it's getting quite late for me

Yuga: No! you're not going till you answer all my questions.

Hannah: Maybe tomorrow, now I'll have to go home. [Turns back and walks away]

Yuga: Look! when you said that thing to me, I started to have weird visions about a war... What did you do to me? [eyes glow]

Hannah: Your eyes...

[Yuga then heard a noise coming from outside the window and he saw that it was an explosive]

Yuga: Get down!! [BOOM]

Hannah: What was that? [looks at Yuga] oh no! are you hurt?

Yuga: *grunts in pain* I'm fine.

[Yuga looked outside the window and saw masked people standing on the rooftops of the other buildings.]

Yuga: We need to get out of here, NOW!

[Yuga held Hannah's hand and ran all the way down the stairs and out the school but there was no one anywhere.]

Yuga: Here is quiet.

Hannah: A little too quiet.

Yuga: [focuses] I can't hear anyone around here.

Hannah: [thinking] he might be the Great Warrior from the family books but he is really stupid if he thinks he would be able to hear people from this distance.

[The masked men hopped down and chased the two whilst throwing very deadly weapons at them.]

Yuga: WHY DO THEY WANT TO KILL US!!!

Hannah: I DON'T KNOW!!!

Yuga: [thinking] when I looked back, two were on my left, three were in the center and two were on the right so that makes them seven in total. I should be able to handle them.

Yuga: Hannah, go and hide. I'll come for you.

Hannah: They're a lot! you'll get hurt if you fight them!

Yuga: Just hide...

[Hannah listened to what Yuga said and hid away, watching what Yuga would do.]

Yuga: [stops] I don't know what you guys want with us or why you want to kill is but if you think seven people will be enough to capture me [smirk] then you're damn crazy!

[The masked men dashed at Yuga and jumped at him but Yuga just closed his eyes and observed his surroundings. Every movement became slow for Yuga and he quietly whispered.]

Yuga: This is a skill my grandfather taught me before he disappeared like my mother... [inhales] Henma increase... 40%.

[Yuga then started to radiate a very powerful aura and then finally... he opened his eyes. Before the masked men could jump at him, he had already delivered quick and precise punches to all parts of their body and moved behind them]

Yuga: I guess I still got it.

[Then, the masked men got back up and told Yuga that that wouldn't be able to defeat them and then they started to chant some words.]

Yuga: What are they doing?

[Then suddenly, the seven masked men started to shout loudly and cracks began to form on their body leaking out blood.]

Masked Man 1: You brought this upon yourself...
