Orochi raised an eyebrow at Kai’s overall confusion and laughed, “Who am I, really? I’m surprised they haven’t warned you about me yet. My name is Orochi Noburo and I’m the one…”

His smile widened and Diego’s heart caught in his chest. He had a feeling he knew what was coming next, and it was going to be nothing good, that much was certain. His muscles tensed and he awaited Orochi's revelation with baited breath.

“I’m the one that attacked Sano. I targeted Kairi, and guess what? I’m going after you, your friend over there, and anything else you hold near and dear to your very soul. And you know what else? There's nothing you can do about it.”

Before Kai could react properly, Diego launched forward and, armored fist glowing bright with channeled reiatsu, slugged him through the nearest wall with great force – the later action causing an explosion of smoke and debris afterwards as they both toppled outside.

“DID THAT IDIOT FORGET WE’RE SURROUNDED BY NEIGHBORS?” Shigeru shouted out in an mixture of exasperation and alarm.

Kai looked at Orochi, just what did he mean by all that?

"Huh? What did I ever do to you? I've never even met you", He said, trying to hold back from exploding on him

He gripped his Fullbring tightly as it began to shine more and more

"Seriously, what the hell is going on here?"

Orochi and Diego ended up falling on a lower rooftop next to where XCUTION headquarters lay. Diego turned around, noticing the gaping hole he had created. He hoped Shigeru didn't expect him to pay for that...

Orochi cracked his neck and dusted the dirt off of his clothes. His expression was a mixture of a annoyance and vague amusement dancing behind his slated eyes. Diego firmed up his stance, while Orochi softly scratched the sharpened tip of his katana against the pebbled concrete.

"And exactly what did you accomplish by tossing us both out of the side of a five story building? You could have severely injured yourself you know," his tone was a bit condescending and Diego clenched his fists to reign his anger in.

"I don't know exactly what your fullbring is, or what you did to Kairi... and Sano for that matter... but I can assure you that I won't let you harm Kai. You'll have to kill me first."

The corner's of Orochi's mouth twitched, gradually turning into a mischevious, almost taunting grin that stretched from ear to ear. He held his katana up in the air, the sunlight reflecting off the metal of the blade.

"Kill you? Diego Takahashi... I have no intention of killing you."

In the blink of an eye, Orochi was gone from sight and Diego's eyes widened in alarm; he was faster than he was expecting! Just as Diego was beginning to turn around, Orochi reappeared and effortlessly pushed the katana through his chest. Diego's mouth opened in shock and he fell towards the ground clutching at his chest. Sirens began to blare and Orochi quickly re-materialized his katana into it's standard pen form.

"Sorry, I have to run. I wouldn't want the cops to get the wrong impression of me, you know. See you soon, Diego," he smirked and in a flash of light, he was gone from sight.

Diego sat up, cautiously looking down and expecting a gruesome sight. He was greeted with... nothing. He looked down in horror and clutched at his chest, but he felt nothing there, no trace of having been stabbed whatsoever. Surely he had been attacked just then... right? He had felt the weapon pierce his chest, but...

His attention shifted when he heard voices approaching him. It was Izumi, Shigeru, and the rest of the XCUTION group following closely behind them. Izumi raced towards Diego's side, worry evident on her face.

"Are you okay?"

He nodded meekly and looked up at Shigeru who was looking off into the distance.

"The sirens must have drove him off....," he observed, "Smart move to wreck our headquarters like that Diego, now we have to relocate since we've been exposed."

The rest of them followed and joined them outside. Gen shook his head, he was livid that another hideout had gone bye bye

"GOD DAMMIT!!!! THAT'S ANOTHER ONE GONE!!!", he screamed
"Do we even have another place to go?", Kienzan asked, smirking
"THIS ISN'T FUNNY 'ZAN!!!!", Gen shouted back, "I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THAT PLACE!!!"

Kai glanced at them all, looking confused. His Fullbring had died down and disappeared for now. The radiant light that he felt from his had vanished. All of the events that had just occurred went running through his head. Just who was that guy and why did he want with him? Kai shook his head, snapping himself out of his daydream

"Can someone tell me who that guy was?", Kai ordered, "And why did he want to kill me?"

A furious Shigeru turned to Gen with his hands planted firmly on his hips.

“Since when have you ever bought anything?! If you recall, it was once again my connections that got us this apartment in the first place! I’M NOT PULLING THESE HIDEOUTS OUT OF MY ASS YOU KNOW!” he pulled a slim phone out of the pocket of his jeans and flipped it open, “let me see if one of old places are still available.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Izumi whispered, and Diego shot her a small smile.

“I’m fine, it’s really nothing to worry about.”

“You just look a bit shaken up is all... I’m glad Orochi didn’t get to you,” she smiled and gently squeezed his bare arm.

I’m just glad Orochi didn’t get to you. What exactly did she mean by that? Diego opened his mouth to ask, but was unfortunately interrupted by a victorious cheer from Shigeru.

“Found a place! It’s one of the shabbier ones, but I’m sure you guys won’t mind since you’re just gonna end up wrecking it in a month.”

“Are you even paying attention to me at all? I said who was that guy! Why does he want me dead?” Kai repeated in irritation. Shigeru turned towards him in surprise, almost as if he had forgotten Kai was standing there with them.

“Oh, you. Well–,” the sound of panicked voices on the street caught his attention, “Shit. Sorry Kai, we’re a bit pressed for time right now. I hope you don’t mind what I’m about to do.”

He took a flash drive out of his pocket and pointed it at Kai. The drive lit up brightly and before Kai had any chance to react or protest, he was sucked in. The light died down and a LED light on the drive flashed repeatedly for a few seconds before turning a solid green. He shoved the drive in his pocket.

“Hey! What did you do with Kai?” Diego asked, alarmed.

“Don’t worry, he’s in a temporary room. When we get to the hideout, I’m going to connect him to the laptop and go from there so we can progress the training a bit faster. Now that Orochi’s on to us, there’s no telling what he’s going to do now. I’m assuming you can use Bringer’s Light now, am I correct?”

Diego nodded and Shigeru turned his attention to Gen.

“I know this is going against everything we’ve planned, but I’m going to need you to go in and train Kai next when we get there. Our original strategy is going to take far too long and we’re running out of time now.”

Gen looked at Shigeru and met his glance with a frown

"What?", He simply replied
"He wants you to---"
"I KNOW FINE WELL WHAT SHIGGY WANTS ME TO DO!!!!"

Gen shook his head and put his hand onto his forehead

"...I guess I have no choice, damn that Orochi, had to put a spanner in the works..."

My name is Shigeru, okay, not Shiggy…,” he shoved Gen back and began to walk towards the edge of the roof, “stop treating me like five year old.”

He looked down at the crowded street and sighed.

“Let’s go before the fire department finally makes it up here.”

And in another blink, Shigeru vanished, leaving behind a faint trace of green light. Everyone else followed suit; Izumi gave Diego a wink and disappeared as well. He took a deep breath, looking up into the partially clouded sky. Maybe he really didn’t have anything to worry about…

But he knew deep in his heart there were some unresolved questions that he had to get to the bottom of. And right now, Kai’s safety was more important than any of the worries he was currently experiencing. Diego then closed his eyes, stepped off of the ledge… and vanished.

Jakoby heard the front door open and he lifted his head from a particularly thick book he had been skimming through. He smirked and set his book to the side when he realized who it was.

“Well, well Little Prince, long time no see. I suppose you’re here to deposit some reiatsu?”

“…Obviously.”

Jakoby mumbled something under his breath and removed the drapery covering the device. The room became instantly bathed in a soft bluish light and Jakoby gestured towards it.

“Well here you go, or do I have to hold your ha- ?”

The sound of steel being drawn silenced Jakoby immediately and he meekly stepped back towards his sit. A few long, awkward moments later the person finally left the shop, allowing Jakoby to breathe a sigh of relief.

“You would think hanging around that moron would have loosened him up a bit… jeez.”

◦◦◦

The neighborhood they arrived in was far sketchier than the previous one, and Diego had a nagging suspicion that he would be embarking in a few fist fights after he left headquarters tonight. He quickly stepped in and shut the heavy door behind him, making sure to lock each latch.

Shigeru was at a wide table at the far east corner of the room, setting up his laptop and situating himself.

“Gen, you ready to go, or do you want to give Kai a pep talk first?”

Gen looked at Shigeru

"Who died and made you in charge Shiggy?", he said, "Last time I checked I ran this joint"

Kienzan pushed his glasses up and looked at Gen

"Just get on with it..."
"OH SHUSH!!!"

"Hey hey hey! If it wasn't for me, none of you wouldn't have anywhere to train or sleep, so I deserve some credit!" he glared at Gen, and took his flash drive out of his pocket, aiming it towards the XCUTION leader.

"Try not to kill him, you would be the one out of us to get carried away."

The flash drive lit up and Gen was gone, having been sucked into the drive. Shigeru quickly hooked it up to one of the empty USB ports on the side of the computer. The screen flickered and momentarily, Kai and Gen appeared, one looking more bewildered and annoyed than the other. Shigeru cracked his knuckles.

"Let's get the party started."

Kai looked at Gen who had just materialised in front of him

"So---"
"Shut up"
"What?"
"I said shut up, I will explain everything"

Kai stayed silent, there was something up with Gen, he wasn't his normal self

"Alright, before anything I will tell you why we are here", Gen said, turning to face the screen and glaring at Shigeru, "We are inside Shiggy's laptop"

Kai's eyes widened, they were inside a laptop? No way...

"Don't even try and interrupt me, just stand there and listen", Gen ordered, he meant business now, "Due to a little hiccup on our part, damn you Orochi, we have to speed up your training"

Gen then began to draw a huge sword from the sheath on his back and held it in front of him

"So it's up to me and Duodecim here to finish that training of yours.....", he said, "DRAW YOUR DAMN FULLBRING AND FIGHT ME LIKE YOU MEAN IT!!!!

And without further ado...he charged at Kai
