*He smirks defiantly at the Cartel Leader, who's glaring at him with a mixture of anger and curiosity, but his movements are being restricted by some unseen force. Sensing the energy emanating from the source of the attack, he turns to see a young woman with piercing red eyes, her gaze fixed intently on him as she maintains the restraint on his movements, her power activated and on full display.*
Kaito: "How about that the Blood Orb Queen emerged to play? You're even more breathtakingly beautiful than I ever could have imagined."
*With a sly smirk, he gazes at her, and a faint, ominous symbol materializes on her back, unnoticed by her. Unbeknownst to her, he utilizes his power to replicate her abilities, concealing his intentions behind an air of nonchalance.*
Klaudia: "I know you're trying to replicate my power, you deceitful snake, but you're just a low-ranking Yakuza member, nothing more."
*She allocates ten percent of her energy to generate blood from her fingertips, which she then utilizes to restrain Kaito in a hogtied position.*
Kaito: "You seem like a feisty girl, and I must say, I like that about you, but I'm not looking to get into any kind of conflict or drama with you."
*He smirks at her, but struggles to break free from the hogtied position, his efforts hindered by her potent blood control power that makes every movement a grueling challenge.*
Kaito: "I want to apologize for my actions, which unfortunately broke the deal for you guys. My intention was not to sabotage your plans, but rather to engage in some friendly banter with potential future rivals."
*He smirks once again, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes, since a part of what he said was indeed true. However, his gaze shifts towards the leader of the Cártel de Reyes y Reinas, who is now storming towards him, his face twisted in a mixture of anger and betrayal, making it clear that he's probably going to meet a deadly fate at his hands.*
Marcial: "Of course it would be you, of all the people in the world, who would show up - a constant thorn in my side, always causing trouble as a Yakuza."
*He unleashes a powerful blow, utilizing fifty percent of his energy to strike Kaito's back with tremendous force, causing the ground to crack massively. However, instead of the expected reaction, Kaito merely smirks, and in the blink of an eye, he vanishes. Suddenly, a girl appears, crushed to death in his place, leaving him stunned and bewildered. He looks back slightly, just in time to see Kaito appearing right beside Mikhail with a smirk plastered on his face, seemingly mocking him with an air of confidence and amusement.*
Mikhail: "Copying my power?"
*He gazes at Kaito with a calm exterior, but beneath the surface, he is seething with intense annoyance and frustration.*
Kaito: "Well that was an interesting experience!"
*He says it with a grin, clearly thrilled about the prospect of stirring up trouble with random gangs and people he finds intriguing or provocative.*
*A sudden, shrill ring pierces the air, startling each King and Queen within the Cartel, signaling that an emergency meeting of the monarchs is about to convene.*
Marcial: "Fine, you're free to leave, but let me make one thing clear: if you ever cross me again, there will be consequences and I will take action."
He utters these words calmly, his eyes fixed intently on Kaito with a piercing glare, as he and the others vanish into thin air, leaving behind only Klaudia, who had refused to attend the Kings and Queens meeting.
Kaito: "Still determined to fight, that's why you chose to stay behind, isn't it?"
*With a swift movement, he appears right in front of Klaudia, his eyes locking onto hers as he flashes a brief, mischievous smirk, causing her to take a hasty step back.*
Klaudia: "I'm hesitant because it's always the same routine, and I'm not looking forward to the repetition."
*She turns away from him, but her curiosity gets the better of her, and she decides to ask him anyway. She turns back to him, her expression calm and composed as she looks him straight in the eye.*
Klaudia: "I'm here to recruit members for a group that aligns with your interests and skills, and I think you'd be a great fit."
Kaito: "Provided that Kiyozawa is on board, I'm willing to participate. However, I'd like you to confirm with Kiyozawa first and if he agrees to join, then I'll give you my confirmation as well."
*He glances at her with a smirk, handing her the contact card for the "Gyakusatsu no Tenshi" (Angels of Slaughter), specifically mentioning Kiyozawa's phone number.*
Klaudia: "I suppose I'll go ahead and ask him as well."
*She takes the card and looks up, only to see Kaito vanish into thin air in an instant. She's already familiar with Kiyozawa and Kaito, two notorious Yakuza leaders from rival groups, Gyakusatsu no tenshi and Akuma-tekina gyakusatsu*
(At The Kings and Queens Meeting).
*Each King and Queen has already made an appearance at the United Orb Nations meeting, a gathering of monarchs from around the world, where they engage in discussions on politics and global issues.*
(Orbmerica's Leader/Good Luck Orb King).
Ryuken: "Let's expedite this process, I have a nation to govern and pressing matters that require my attention."
*He utters the words calmly, his voice devoid of any apparent concern, while his mind wanders, consumed by curiosity about the purpose of this meeting.*
(Orbussia's Leader/ Dark Orb King).
Yusuke: "You're already aware of the situation. It's about my country, Orbrussia, being in war with Orbran."
*He says it calmly, his voice devoid of emotion, while glancing over at Anastasia, the tension between them palpable as they engage in a silent, psychological war, but he's already resigned to the inevitable outcome.*
Ryuken: "I don't feel that this issue is relevant to my country, so I won't intervene. However, if Orbmerica were to be attacked by one of you, rest assured that I would not hesitate to retaliate."
*He says it calmly, his voice steady and even, while glaring intensely at each Orb country leader, his eyes burning with a fierce determination.*
(Orbran Leader/ Sin Orb Queen).
Anastasia: "I'm well aware that the rules explicitly prohibit mentioning the human world, but it's become clear that Orbussia's Leader, Dark Orb King, is actively seeking human interference. As a result, humans are now taking sides with Orbussia. The problem is that my country was attacked first, so what am I supposed to do - stand idly by and allow Orbussia to continue their aggression?"
*She mostly looks at Orbmerica's Leader with a mixture of curiosity and hope, wondering if he's willing to provide the crucial support she needs to navigate this war, much like how the President of America might offer aid to a country in need.*
Ryuken: "How can I justify sending my people to fight in a war that seems to have no clear objective or end in sight, thereby putting the lives of their sons and daughters at risk. It would be more beneficial for the leaders of Orbrussia and Orbran to engage in diplomatic talks to resolve their differences peacefully, prioritizing the well-being and safety of their citizens."
*He says it calmly, his gaze shifting between Anastasia and Yusuke, as he explains that he has no reason to enter into war or provide financial support to Orb countries that are engaged in conflict.*
Yusuke: "It's clear that no one is willing to provide military support to Orbran, so I'll continue my efforts until I've secured control. Unless, Anastasia, you're prepared to make a proposal that I simply cannot refuse?"
*He gazes at her with a sly smirk as his brown eyes mysteriously shift to a deep, rich purple, a sudden and unsettling transformation that catches her off guard.*
Anastasia: "What exactly are you insinuating? You just want Orbran to be completely erased from the map."
*She glares at him, but deep down, she can't help but wonder why he's so desperate for the human world's support. Is it just the thrill of having them cheer him on, or does he have an ulterior motive, something he hopes to gain from the humans?*
*A door swings open immediately, disrupting the meeting of the Kings and Queens. Everyone turns around to see Daisuke, the son of the Dark Orb King, holding hands with another boy who has striking black hair and piercing blue eyes. The boy is dressed in a black shirt and jacket with a distinctive brown fur trim, paired with black jeans and black shoes.*
Yusuke: "Why are you two holding hands in public like that."
*He's already getting angry at the sight of his son holding hands with another boy, a clear display of discomfort and disapproval.*
Daisuke: "I'm excited to share with everyone that I've recently started dating someone new, and I'd like to introduce you all to my boyfriend, Izaya."
*He scans the meeting room, making eye contact with everyone, but his gaze lingers mostly on his father, Yusuke, whose face is etched with anger, yet he seems utterly indifferent to his father's displeasure.*
Daisuke: "The reason my father is after your land is because he wants to attract humans to the Dark Orb Kingdom in order to target and eliminate specific individuals who belong to the LGBT+ community."
*He looks at Anastasia and then at the rest of the Kings and Queens, their faces a mixture of surprise and indifference. Some of them don't seem to be surprised, as if they knew that's what they suspected the Dark Orb King would do. Their nonchalant reactions confuse him, leaving him wondering why none of them seem to care.*
Anastasia: "Makes sense."
*She glances over at Yusuke, who appears utterly nonchalant, seemingly unfazed by the fact that his secret has been exposed.*
Yusuke: "Daisuke, I'll share something with you about humans. Despite their complexities, humans seem to have an inherent inclination towards violence, regardless of how it's presented. Even if I'm exposed by the media, it wouldn't change the fact that humans have a tendency to be drawn to violence, and unfortunately, they can be quite oblivious to this reality."
*He gazes at his son with a calm exterior, a facade that masks the turmoil brewing inside, as he struggles to come to terms with the possibility that his child may be gay.*
Daisuke: "..."
(In his mind).
"Why does nobody cares about the truth?"
(Out of his mind).
Anastasia: "So that's the explanation? If you had informed me about this earlier, I would have given you permission."
*She felt a sense of revival wash over her, knowing that her country might be spared from destruction now that she had finally uncovered the truth about Yusuke.*
Ryuken: "I too share the same sentiment towards the LGBT+ community, but I strongly object to your plan of killing them. Yusuke, consider the consequences of your actions. Instead of meddling in other countries' affairs, focus on the well-being and development of your own nation."
*He says it calmly while looking at Yusuke, his tone a stark contrast to the turmoil brewing inside him. He doesn't like what he wanted to do to the humans, and the thought of it makes him uncomfortable. Despite being aware of humans' strange and mental tendencies, he knows that's no justification for taking their lives.*
Yusuke: "Fine, whatever. Besides, Orbran is a country in decline, so acquiring it would likely be a futile endeavor anyway."
(In his mind).
"I'm surprised that, as members of the United Orb Nations, we couldn't make the connection between Demonic Orbs and God Orbs, especially considering that some of us harbor deep-seated hatred, similar to that of humans."
*He glances over at Ryuken and a couple of allies who are God Orb, his gut twisting with a deep-seated hatred for what they are. However, he has no choice but to form an uneasy alliance with them, as it serves the interests of the Dark Orb Kingdom.*
(Out of his mind).
(At the Underground Facility).
Mochizuki: "I've recruited someone named Kaien, but he won't be directly participating in the fight with us."
*He glances over at the mysterious Black Figure suspended eerily in mid-air.*
The Black Figure: "Well at least that's something."
*He vanishes utterly into the inky blackness, consumed by an darkness so profound it seems to have a physical presence.*
Mochizuki: "Well, since you're going to be living here with me, we could share my room and I could sleep on the floor to make things more comfortable for you."
*He gazes at Kaien with a warm, genuine smile, his eyes filled with curiosity as he wonders what thoughts are crossing his mind.*
Kaien: "I'm comfortable sharing a bed with you, because being with you makes me feel safe and protected."
*He smiles warmly at him, feeling thoughtful as he realizes that Mochizuki genuinely cares about his feelings.*
Mochizuki: "Want to watch a movie? It's an action-packed film with thrilling sequences and a gripping storyline. It's called Furious Cars."
*He looks at Kaien while holding a DVD case that features a group of people standing next to sleek, high-performance cars, giving the impression that they're preparing for a street racing event.*
Kaien: "That sounds fascinating, it's unfortunate that I won't be able to witness it firsthand since I'm blind. Well currently."
*He spoke softly, his voice barely above a whisper, for despite the passing of time, he remained blind and paralyzed, his senses and physical form still severely impaired.*
Mochizuki: "I'll fix that if you trust me."
*He flashes a warm smile at him as he unleashes his white flames, his eyes transforming from a deep gold to a piercing white, radiating an otherworldly intensity.*
Kaien: "I trust you."
*He whispers it softly, his voice barely audible.*
Mochizuki: "It will be quick."
*He carefully placed white flames all over Kaien's body, attempting to heal his wounds. However, since he hadn't been training with these flames, he was only able to partially heal Kaien, restoring his sight and mending his bruises, but unfortunately, he couldn't reverse the paralysis. As Kaien's eyes blink open, he catches his first glimpse of his savior, and his face flushes a deep red. Despite being unable to move his body, a faint smile spreads across his lips, relief washing over him as he realizes he's finally free from pain.*
Mochizuki: "I couldn't get rid of your paralysis. I guess I need more training."
He shows him the DVD case of the movie he was just talking about, a film he had discovered from the human world.
Mochizuki: "Want to watch it with me?"
*He flashes a warm, genuine smile at him.*
Kaien: "Sure."
He flashes a warm, genuine smile back at him.
