Chapter 156 - Baki's Story - Akado w/ Baki

Word on the streets of the Kanju Empire goes like this...

"The average Spirit be like 7ft tall." - Man.

"Damn, that's tall!" - Man II.

"Then us humans?" - Man III.

"6ft." - Man IV.

"Damn! No wonder they recognize us so easily." - Man V.

"Fuck them tho." - Woman.

"Lmao." - Woman II.

Inside the Palace, in the Throne Room, Baki and Akado dance in circles to a certain beat while their hands remain jammed. (Baki's right and her left)

They reach a point and switch, then carry on.

Do it for a little while and the beat's tempo changes.

They face each other and bust new moves with a bent upperbody and a smile.

The beat players do it for a little longer, the dancers show off and eventually, all comes to an end.

Baki and Akado take a bow.

The people clap.

The doors open outward. Baki and Akado walk out and turn left, while discussing...

"What do you think we should do now?" - Baki.

"Sky diving." - Akado.

"That's why you're the goat." - Baki.

"Meh." She bleats.

Paddler and Gin follow behind as they do so.

"My lady, you shouldn't!" Gin says and gets interrupted by Akado...

"Hush!" With the raise of her right index.

He settles and she brings it down.

(Akado and Gin stay near the wall while Baki and Paddler stay by their right)

Baki and Paddler laugh inwards.

Gin touches Paddler's left upper arm and shoots him into the wall opposite.

Baki becomes settled.

"Hah!" Akado goes with a look to the top.

A Big Helicopter comes across thick clouds 30,000ft above an Ocean.

|Igoroma Ocean|

"All set, open up!" The male pilot says and the door in the middle slides open.

Akado and Baki take a step and face the clouds with utter power.

"It's not too late, Akado-sama, you can take back-!" Gin says with worry and the two take off, leaving him hanging.

"Akado-sama!!!" He desperately calls and Paddler chuckles.

He gets blown away again.

Right immediately, Baki and Akado break in.

Inside, they tear through and get thrown off.

Eventually, come back and soar.

They move for a while and come out the other side. Towards the Ocean.

"Baki." She calls and laughs. Then confesses...

"I'm scared."

"Don't be. I'm here." He assures and she nods with a sound.

"Akado-sama!!!" Gin calls and they look back.

They see Gin coming with Paddler by his left.

They grin, face themselves and look back at Igoroma.

They go for the parachute eruption gear which flaps by their sides. (Gin = The Right. Akado = The Left)

They close in and fashy (forget)

Then stretch their hands with intent in the eyes.

Gin's eyes open. Right after, his mouth. Then he screams...

"Akado-sama!!!"

They enter with unimaginable force.

Waves come forth and the clouds split.

"That guy's a psycho." Baki says. She laughs and replies...

"My stupid retainer."

They swim up, break through and stand upon the waters, without their parachutes.

They look around and see their men by their sides, a little behind. Also without their parachutes.

(Paddler, by Baki's left. Gin, by Akado's right)

"Paddler, how do you like to be my Retainer?" - Baki.

"Eh? Your Retainer? As in, become Kotetsu?" He asks and he nods with a smile.

He smiles in disbelief and says with his hands spread...

"B-But I'm no Spirit. How can!"

Baki looks down at his feet and centers his face.

"Explain that." He says.

Paddler looks down and sees himself standing on water.

"That's enough spirit thing to me." - Baki.

"But how?" Paddler asks while looking around his feet.

"Don't put much mind to it. Let's enjoy ourselves." Baki says and slides forward.

Akado jumps up 3x while clapping and saying...

"Yippee!"

Then goes after him.

Gin and Paddler takes off.

One leg forward, then the other, they move.

On the way, a giant earth pillar uproots before Akado.

She evades it with an elegant backflip.

She lands with style, runs twice forward and surges.

"Baki, what is this!" - Akado.

Baki now replies as he rounds towards the top of a sprouting pillar while it approaches the zenith...

"I'd ask again if I were you!"

He reaches the point close to the top and flies forth.

"Bomblast!" - Paddler.

He glides by the endless sprouting pillars before him while Paddler and Gin maneuver with exquisite spins, about.

Akado runs. She reaches a point and one suddenly erupts beneath her left foot.

She jumps to her right with a brief shout while watching it go up.

She carries on immediately after. Not so long, she reaches another and a pillar sprouts from under.

She makes a brief screech while taking a dive. The pillar completely erupts and she neck rolls on the water, to her feet.

She continues from where she stopped.

On the way, one sprouts again from her left.

She shouts as she jumps to her right to evade it. Same time; watching it.

She moves up twice and another sprouts from her right. She shouts again while jumping to her left. Same time; watches it.

She moves on. 3 moves after, a big one comes up and takes her to the air.

On it, while positioned to fall from behind, legs and arms spread. Eyes closed, mouth open; she moans.

"You're not trying at all!" Baki declares. She holds a laugh with a spit and everyone, including him, laughs out loud.

She lands in the water and they carry on with slides.

She sinks.

Upon an Island, Gin and Paddler climb up into. They stand and let the water drip while back to back.

|Fōsha Empire|

A sound comes in and they look. (Paddler = forth. Gin = from the left)

Gin opens his mouth in grave shock.

Before him, Baki pulls the unconscious Akado, while backing her, with his hands wrapped round her legs.

He screams and running steps come towards Baki. He looks to his right and gets punched to the face with a big right from Gin.

Baki goes far flying and sinks head first in sand.

He breathes hard and Akado moans.

He stops and looks to her sharply by his lower left. Then goes down to her while calling...

"Akado-sama." With warmth.

He puts his right hand against her left cheek.

Her eyelids shake and she opens her eyes. Her blur vision clears and Gin comes in.

He comes closer to her face, whispering...

"Akado-sama."

She becomes perturbed, grits, grabs his face with her right hand and sends him flying into the dense forest behind.

He hits something strong and screams out loud.

"Eeeeheiiiiiii!!!"

Paddler laughs with his (left) fore fist against his mouth. The laugh goes hard, he brings it down and bursts out to the sky.

He goes on his knees, bends and smashes his right fist continuously on the ground while Akado stands on her feet and adjusts the waist line of her pants.

Baki jumps up after putting his hands on the ground and lands on his feet with a slight knee bend.

He becomes erect.

Paddler gets up and walks forward while dusting himself.

The three jam and carry on towards the forest.

"Imagine being in an isolated forest?" - Baki.

"It's you guys that have to worry about that, not me." - Akado.

"Akado, if we enter that forest, I will grape you." - Baki.

"Ain't man enough to say the real word. Shame." - Akado.

"Shut up!" - Baki.

Paddler laughs.

"You too." - Baki.

Paddler ceases and goes...

"Oh, I'm sorry."
