It was an icy winter. Most businesses had closed down thanks to the disastrous blizzards that took place that year.
It was the first time in history, all countries on Earth had the same weather condition. This also made the Aliens halt their attacks.
I was eighteen at that time, a time I was raising money to prepare for the baby.
That being said, I focused on horse and football betting.
That's when I met Bright Kazuma a homeless fibber, who found joy in non-existent stories.
However, it is only now that I understand he was telling me the truth.
"What? You don't believe I have a kid? Tell you, my son just looks like me. You can check it for yourself if you go to Ablauf."
I look at that so-called son, who is grounding his teeth like a wild beast, and I couldn't help, but shake my head a few times.
"You look nothing like your father."
Iguana forced a smirk, "Of course I don't! Why would I look like that b—"
I cut him off before he said something he would regret.
A sly smile covered my face, "Are you prepared for a red panda to replace your father's empty position."
"Hahaha!" Encender laughed heartily, "So you do think I can do it!"
No, I certainly do not.
Star closed his green eyes and took deep breaths. He was fuming with rage. Not only that, but he didn't even notice that he was pulling the hair of his henchmen.
Not minding that her hair was being ripped off, Tucky screamed with a red face, "Ah! You are hurting me messiah! Ahh!"
Kont is opposite, as tears of pain streamed past his long-big nose, "Ahh! Star you are hurting!! Please stop! I beg you!"
"How can you do that to your own men!?" Encender roared furious eyes. They seemed ready to tear iguana apart.
"Hey peasant!" Rajah shouted for the sake of it.
He is walking towards the entrance with a near serious expression, "Such a violent sight is not suitable for royalty to see! You should do something about it!"
I just shrugged him off, as I knew what would come.
"Everybody attack them!! I don't want even a single one of those punks alive!!"
Bam—!
Soon after Star's loud shout, Rajah was hit in the head with a metal bat. His skull crushed together with the right side of his face.
Sprr—!
Blood gashed out from his visible brains, as he loudly fell to the ground.
Thud—!
....
"Rajah!! No!!" Encender roared from the top of her lungs. Her feet were already directing themselves at the pool of blood.
"Tsk. How useless." Tsuyoi commented, as she started punching the minions.
"Ayaaa!"
Each punch left an echo through the fighting grounds. However, Star didn't seem to fear her.
He let go of his two minions' hair, while he made a menacing laughter that echoed in the whole prison cell.
"Do you see what happens when you mess up with me! You all have the same fate! All of you will end up like him!"
Tucky followed his boss, as he stood up. He had crossed his arms with an arrogant look, "That idiot deserves to die! No! He should have been tortured to death! Haha haha!"
Kont was still feeling pained from the way his hair was pulled. He shot a death glare at his boss and the voodoo doll in pocket lit up its red eyes.
He shock his head and took a gasp of air. Likewise, he stood up and crossed his arms and showed a wicked smile, "Hahaha! That—!"
Bam—!
Before Kont could finish something that would make his long nose grow. Encender stomped on the arena grounds, cracking half of it.
Tears of rage poured down on her face. She had gritted on her teeth until they started to bleed. Her small nose had already flared up.
"Star Kazuma! I will kill you!"
Rajah might be annoying, but he was funny to be around. He had promised to be her left-hand man, how can he die now?
The man in question took a seat and crossed his legs, and continued his menacing smile, "Why don't you do it now? Is something stopping you?"
"Grr!"
Making a grounding sound she crashed over to Rajah. She wanted to at least give a proper burial.
Her eyes turned over to look at a black and white haired boy.
'Why?' She asked herself.
Tito was just burning down Star's minions with an expressionless face. She knew Rajah treated him badly. However, he should at least care about his cellmate.
She couldn't even ask about Tsuyoi. The youngest had already shown her hatred towards men. She once suggested making their team all women.
Encender quickly put the two out of her mind. However, the moment she looked up front, her eyes shock in puzzlement.
"No! Don't!"
Thousands of sharp blades hovered on top of Rajah's dead body.
Encender screamed the name of the owner of that ability, "Star!"
Even so, it was too late.
The blades started raining on the prince's corpse, making smoke rise to the ground.
Encender felt her knees go numb.
Thud—!
The young girl lifelessly fell to the ground.
In the end she couldn't bring even Rajah's corpse, just like with her brother.
"Hahahaha...!!!" Star laughed his heart out.
The golden eyed girl's pitiful state was the cracker for him. Why would she bother herself with an already dead corpse?
"First flaming kick: Mawashi Geri!"
At the end of Tito's shout. He flame kicked one of the inmates by the head. Sending him flying towards his boss. Star was prepared to block, but what reached him were ashes.
"Hahaha!"
Tito laughed at the site of the iguana bath in hot ashes.
Since, most of the enemies were wary of him, he had enough time to walk over to the blades sticking on the arena.
After a few seconds Tito picked up something from there.
"No...that can't be." Star said in a voice filled with incredulity.
He had just seen a ghost in real life.
"Impossible!" Tucky was the same, "That must be an illusion. Some—"
Slap—!
He suddenly received a slap of rage from Star, "Do you think I am blind?!!"
Kont who saw this clenched his teeth and forced a smile, making his nose grew by a centimeter, "Don't worry messiah. I will deal with him."
Star ignored them and focused at the figure being hold by Tito, "How are you still alive?! I stabbed you myself! I clearly saw that with my own two eyes!!"
Thud—!
Tito let go of the body he was holding, as a chuckle escaped his lips, "You see. Rajah here is immortal. He can get hurt, but he can't die, no matter what."
A day ago, his bed fell on top of Rajah's. Tito honestly thought he had killed him. However, when checked, the prince was soundlessly sleeping. After that, he killed him a couple of times.
'That's how he managed to fool Russ. He was indeed beat up when I first saw him. What killed him is the kick, I gave him.
His ability just lets him avoid death.'
Rajah quickly got up from the ground, while he holds the peasants collar with a fierce look, "Why did you tell him my ability?! I could have used it to surprise them later on!!"
Hearing that loud silvery voice. Encender felt her tears dry up. She just stared at the source with wide open eyes.
It was him.
Rajah.
He is alive.
Her eyes started watering up again. There were tears of relief. Her lost strength finally came. In only a few seconds, she that rushed over to hug the two men.
Slam—!
"Rajah!!"
Tito frowned his face. He clearly remembers telling them there are not friends, "Get off! There are still plenty of them left!"
"How dare you?" Rajah says with a look showing nothing, but animosity towards the golden eyed boy.
Tito shrugged him off. His right hand went into his gut, where he had thrown one of Star's blades. He took a rapier that was still red from heat.
He smiled, "You all still remember the plan. Encender you punch iguana in the face for me. Zombie you fight the minions. Finally, Tsuyoi you are with me!"
A few feet away from the group, the youngest scowled her forehead, "Tsk, don't order Tsuyoi around. From now on, she will only take orders from Encender."
Seeing the disorganized group on the stage, Star cracked up in joy, "Hahaha! Bring it on you little brats!
I will show you the strength of a real block leader."
