The Next Morning
"Morning guys." Soichiro said. "Morning. I gathered you all here to inform you guys about the next regalia." Chozen said. "Wait, what's a regalia?" Leo asked. "Shit I forgot to tell Leo about our mission." Soichiro said. "Alright so our mission is to collect 15 weapons around the world called regalia which are weapons that used to belong to the 15 most powerful kings and queens of my home Eos. If I collect all 15 regalia I'll achieve a form called arminger." Soichiro said. "Actually Kugo, you have achieved arminger." Chozen said cutting off Soichiro mid explanation. "What? Since when did I get arminger?" Soichiro asked. "When you were fighting that shinigami you saw Suki get hurt, then you called upon the leaders of Eos and then you achieved arminger. That's how you killed the shinigami." Chozen explains. "Holy shit. But I thought you have to collect all the regalia to achieve it?" Sochiro said. "Well it looks like you do and don't. What I mean by that is that you can activate arminger when you have some of the regalia but if you have all you can activate its full power." Chozen explained. "Anyway, back to what I was saying. The regalia will give me arminger and they're scattered across the world and so far I have 6 of them. But that is a part of the bigger picture, our main goal is to stop the shinigami king and bring peace to the world. As you can tell Chozen is a shinigami but something we didn't tell you is that Suki is the last remaining oracle." Soichiro explained. "Do you have anything to say Leo?" Soichiro asked. "Honestly hearing this makes me want to join you guys on your mission even more." Leo said. "Really?" Soichiro, Suki, and Chozen said. "Yea I really want to join." Leo said. "Alright, now with that out of the way, what did you want to tell us Chozen?" Soichiro asks. "Thank you Kugo. So I gathered you all here to talk about the next regalia we're going after which is the throwing sword of the ghost queen … The Star of The Rogue."
2 months later
As our team journeys for the star of the rougue they encounter many Nighteyes trying to kill them, Suki and Soichiro's relationship deepens, Leo trains under Chozen and Soichiro practices his stealth skills in preparations to use the star of the rogue. After 2 months of traveling the team encounters the tomb of the rogue. "Are you ready Soichiro?" Chozen asks. "Yes." Soichiro answers. Soichiro notices that Leo looks worried, so he gets on 1 knee to match Leo's height and says "Don't worry about me Leo, I want you to keep fighting because fighting is the best thing you can do for someone." Soichiro and Leo fist bump and smile at each other. As Soichiro enters the tomb he sees the star of the rogue. "Huh, it's just a large ninja star. Smaller stars would be more efficient." Soichiro thought. Soichiro puts his hand over the star of the rogue and it floats in the air and goes through Soichiro putting him into a trance. As Soichiro wakes up in the trance he senses something ominous. "What the hell? Something seems off." Soichiro thought. Out of nowhere the star of the rogue almost hits Soichiro. "Hello, White Knight. As you know I'm the ghost queen. This trial will require both long and close range combat." The Ghost said. Soichiro and the Ghost summon the star of the rogue. "Let the trial begin."
