In his office, Fugaku sat on his chair, looking serious as the only thing looking back at him was just his tablet and the dark room. A knock rang through his door "Come in.", Fugaku said, the door opened "You sure seem tensed, Fugaku.". Fugaku's head raised slightly "Oh, Nagumo sensei. You're here.", Nagumo had walked into Fugaku's office, his staff held on his right arm "Let's have tea, shall we?". A few moments passed, Fugaku and his teacher were sipping tea together. Fugaku started the conversation "The Kagahara troops should be heading out by now. To the Knight Country, that is.", Nagumo replied "I see. So you've started your invasion.". Fugaku scoffed "Yes, we have. It was just a matter of time, after all, we are enemies of the Knight Country. It's only natural. Minus the fact that they invaded our city a few months back, it only makes sense that we attack.". Nagumo dropped his tea "Fugaku. You still operate on reason, don't you?", Fugaku paused right when he was about to sip some more tea "What makes you ask that?", he asked Nagumo. Nagumo explained "Back when we were master and student. You were the kind of person who seemed to be morally upright. You were the kind of person who always wanted to fight for Kagahara, no matter what. To you, Kagahara could do no wrong.", Fugaku had a nervous smile on his face while scratching his cheek "Well, yeah. I was a solidier at the time, it's only natural for we solidiers to want to protect our nation.". Nagumo replied "True, it makes sense to do that. But you're forgetting that we solidier aren't supposed to show emotions towards our enemies. You often did that, not to the point where you'd lose your guard, but you pitied them.", Fugaku seemed saddened "Well, back then, it was always war here and there. Missions were frequent, not everywhere was safe. Aside from criminals, we often had battles against other cities solidiers.". Nagumo took another cup of tea and placed it down, he explained "Fugaku, right from childhood, children are taught the fundamentals of life and they stick to it. The fundamentals of life in this world, is nothing but strength. Everyone needs strength. If you're not strong, you're not going to survive at all. I learnt that that hard way.". Fugaku seemed saddened "We all learnt that the hard way.", Nagumo explained "When it comes to war, people are fighting for the sole purpose for their country. Right from childhood, everyone is taught this. To fight and die for our nation, that's what war is. It could be to fight against domination, it could be to fight for revenge, it could be for greed. When we humans see ourselves in that kind of setting, we don't think, we act. That's just how things are. Everyone's been taught this, and through this, we've all been desensitised. Especially me, I don't feel an ounce of sympathy for anything anymore. It wasn't until I had friends, children and a family of my own. And even when they all perished, I couldn't moarn properly.". Fugaku smirked "But you do feel for Yuji, don't you?", Nagumo was stoic until he smiled "Yuji. He grew up in a harsh environment, and I was always strict with him. But for some reason, I don't feel too worried. After all, he's strong. And because of that strength, he's going to be the gateway that would bring forth to two powerful anomalies. That's just how things are.". Nagumo stood up "I'm heading out now, Fugaku.", he turned around to leave the office. But before he could walk past the door, he looked at Fugaku with a proud smirk "You've come a long way, Fugaku. Don't forget, you're now a lord. Trust yourself, and trust your training.", Nagumo left the office. Fugaku seemed to have a straight forward reaction until he had a sad smile on his face "If these were your last words towards me, you should have just said so. Master Fugaku.". Elsewhere, at a cave in the vast wastelands, Ukina was getting herself prepared. She picked up her staff and was about to put on her mask. Before she did so, Zodia's voice called to her "You leaving for the war?", Ukina replied "Yes, Lord Zodia. I am. Fragmell needs me to protect one of the states of the Knight Kingdom.", Zodia scoffed "Hm, you sure are loyal.". Through his hood, he looked at Ukina with a smirk "You fight for whatever side you're on, that's how this rotten world works, nothing but war and violence.", he waved to Ukina "Go out there and do what you've got to do. Come back alive, I still need you for my plan.". Ukina pouted "Mmmh! You're not even worried about me!", she said, Zodia looked at her with slight surprise "Why should I be worried? And even then, I'll just interfere. So don't worry, you'll be fine.". Ukina smiled softly "Bye, Lord Zodia.", she kept on her mask before she flew off, Zodia smirked "What a troublesome being you are.", he muttered. Zodia smirked and said to himself "If only you understood the kind of power you have, non of this would happe.". About two hours later, all the soliders In the warships were preparing themselves. They analysed their weapons, trained their abilities and made sure they were all ready. Celina, Void and Velderon sat together, Celina held one sword in one hand, and held her actual sword in her other hand. Velderon excersised his wrists, and Void was practicing with his ability. Celina sensed something "We're almost there.", she said. Suddenly, alarms started to ring [ALL SOLIDERS, GET YOURSELVES READY! I REPEAT! ALL SOLIDERS, GET YOURSELVES READY!", Monoma who was sitted beside his team smirked darkly "Hm!". Reggie was riding a drone "We're almost there. Two more miles and we'll be at the Knight Kingdom. Everyone remember the plan?", he asked. Ralfold, Suzuha and Lerion all replied "Yes we do!", Ranpo and Kojin looked at each other with stoic expressions before both of them smiled In wild and excited manners. Reggie smirked "Hm! We're there!", he clicked on a communicator "Andre.....! Let a rip!". Everywhere became dark for a moment. Andre, standing at the outskirts of the Knight Country, smirked. Lightning started crackling around him "With pleasure.", he called out "SPECIAL TECHNIQUE: GROUND STORM!". A giant gate of lightning opened up behind Andre, his hands in his pockets and his eyes glowing red "SHOOT!", he commanded. A terrifying amount of lightning shot to the ground, powerful explosion of both lightning and explosions ripped through the grounds of the wastelands. Reggie exclaimed with excitement "LETS GO!", he pressed another communicator "ALL SOLIDERS....[JUMP!]". Within seconds, the battleships started to open up, soliders started to run out of it and sky dive. Some had activated their abilities for flight, some were using jet packs, while some were using wind techniques. Roy and Fred rushed out and jumped "LETS FUCKING GO!", Roy exclaimed, Fred yelled out "HELL YEAH!". Monoma couldn't controll his excitement anymore "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU IDIOTS ARE DOING JUMPING WITHOUT ME?!", he yelled. Kairo brought out two shorts swords and jumped "Don't forget me!", he said with a smug smirk. Zeraph turned both his hands to sharp edged "HAHAHA! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG TO CUT LOSE!", he jumped down the plane. Celina, Velderon and Void were running out of the warship "Remember, let's stick together!", she said, Void and Velderon replied "Yeah!". As they were about to jump down, Void used his void manipulation to create a barrier around himself and his team "HERE WE GO!", he exclaimed with excitement before he and his team jumped. Celina smiled and summoned her sword, her hair glowing green, Velderon's arms turned into lava "Let's burn em down!", he growled with uncontrollable excitement. Suddenly, powerful beasts covered with armour jumped out of the ground covered with explosions of lightning, they were starting to get obliterated and electrocuted "ROOAAAR!" they all roared in pain. Reggie smiled with insanity "Kojin was right! There were traps waiting for us at the ground!", he yelled "ALL BATTLESHIPS, ATTACK!". All the drones and battleships started launching out bullets and shooting out beams at the ground, killing the beasts and destroying the walls of the Knight Country. The knights of the knight country all started to charge forward, each of them holding their own weapons and putting on their armour "WHO ARE WE?!", the commander asked as they advanced "WE ARE KNIGHTS!" the knights replied. The commander asked again "AND WHY DO WE FIGHT?!", the knights responded "FOR DOMINATION!", the commander yelled again "AND FOR THE SAKE OF THE KNIGHT KINGDOM!". All the soliders yelled "FOR THE SAKE OF THE KNIGHT KINGDOM!". Reggie exclaimed with insanity "AND FOR THAT SAKE, IM GOING TO MAKE SURE I KILL EVERYONE OF YOU FUCKING KNIGHTS! FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR KINGDOM!". He activated his drone's blasters and machine guns, killing and eviscerating every knight that stood in the way "AHAHAHAHAAH! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!", he laughed with insanity.
