"T-taka." Ryu says as he averts Taka's eyes.
"Hey, old friend." Taka says.
"I'm- I'm sorry that I killed your friend." Ryu finally looks at Taka, who smiles.
"I can't forgive you for what you did to her. But I know you have your reasons. So, I'll take my vengeance later." Taka puts his arm behind his head and laughs. Ryu chuckles with him. There's a loud explosion near the wall closest to the door. After a second the dust falls and a huge Nyx can be seen, flashing blue.
"I Am Here!" He says with a smile and his ginormous muscles pulsing. He sees the two men and stops.
"Ry-Ryu? What're you doing here? You two know eachother?" Nyx asks, confused.
"Lord?! Commander?!" Ryu says upon seeing everyone else enter. Behind Nyx is Xayn, Eugeo, and Susanoo.
"Hello, Ryu." Xayn says.
"SUSANOO?!" Taka panics.
"It's okay." Nyx starts, "He's with us right now. You seemed as if something was really wrong. Susanoo and I agreed on a halftime and he came with us to make sure everything was okay."
"Why?" Taka asks, confused beyond all belief.
"Because. I wish to protect life, anyway I can. I couldn't risk you hurting any humans. Had to make sure your leash was kept short." Susanoo says, looking towards the scene of what happened.
"He isn't a bad guy, Taka. Just doing his job as we are ours. And as Ryu is his." Xayn says.
"What do you mean, Ryu is his?" Taka asks, looking over at Ryu.
"Well, Ryu is a member of the Demon Army. He is the Commander of the DiHC squad." Nyx says.
"The Dihk squad?" Taka laughs, he makes it sound like dick. Ryu glares at him.
"Demon in Human Clothing Hunters." Xayn smiles.
"Why isn't it D I H C H then?" Taka laughs some more.
"Quite asking questions." Nyx is serious.
Taka flashes back to a different place."Taka, can you come with me for a second?" Mr. H asks. Taka is sitting at his normal table with Ryu and someone else, though in the flashback Taka can't see their face.
"Sure thing." Taka says as he gets up. They go into the back room where there is a desk and a computer, no extra chairs though. Taka hops in the computer chair and spins around. Mr. H just stands and smiles with his arms crossed. Mr. H is a stylish man. He is longer wavy black hair, bright green eyes, and wears a slim black suit. He usually has sunglasses on, but they are on his head at the moment.
"Taka, I just want to ask you something. Serious." Mr. H says, his smile no longer on his face.
"Okay, what is it?" Taka stops spinning and sits forward.
"Your peace tactic. Are you trying to hurt Japan?" Mr. H stares into Taka's soul.
"What? No. I'm trying to save it. I'm trying to save kids from having to come home to their dad not there, and then a week later attend his funeral. I'm trying to save mother's from coming home and finding her husband hugging and crying the kids that lay limp as the blood continues to run from their bodies. I'm trying to save the husband's from coming home to find their wives murdered. My peace will stop all this horrid crimes. I want people to grow up happy, as a family. Not, as a widower or widow." Taka says, averting the gaze of Mr. H.
"Your plan, is to kill the Yakuza who don't agree to peace though." Mr. H says, looking at his feet.
"Peace is about doing what needs to be done, and leaving it done." Taka says through his teeth and with his fist clenched.
"The Ki's will never accept. You'll be going to war and many will die. Is that what you want? Ryu dead?" Taka snaps upwards towards Mr. H.
Taka blinks a couple times and realizes he is back in the Ki Bar with everyone having their own conversations.
"I have to go, Eugeo, coming?" Taka says as he begins to walk out.
"Sure." Eugeo says, following him.
"I'm coming as well, to make sure you don't get into trouble and hurt humans." Susanoo says, following as well.
"Taka. When you're done, meet me back at the warehouse. I'll introduce you to everyone you'll be working with in the Demon Army." Nyx says. He is back in his normal form.
"Who says I want to work with you?" Taka stops and looks at him.
"I know you do." Nyx smiles. Taka scoffs and walks out.Eugeo, Taka, and Susanoo are still pretty far from their destination that only Taka knows.
"So what's the deal anyways, Susanoo?" Taka asks as they walk down a busy street.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, if you wanted to actually kill me you wouldn't have gone along with Nyx. Plus, you wouldn't be with us right now. Why do you want to kill me anyways?" Taka has his hands in his pocket and Eugeo is playing on his phone while walking.
"The first time we fought, Taka Tatsuya. I underestimated you. You bested me because of that. I will not lose again, I will defeat you!" Susanoo says with passion.
"Okay, that's part of it. Now what's the other part?"
"What? Well, my sister also ordered me to. I guess that counts?" Susanoo says nervously.
"And why does she want me dead so badly? If it's for killing humans, then shouldn't you be hunting the people I kill? Because they kill innocents, and I kill them. Seems weird to hunt the vigilante rather than the crooks themselves, right?" Taka stops and looks at him. Susanoo gets nervous.
"But you're a Demon doing it." Susanoo says.
"And they are Demons who haven't died yet." Taka says. Everyone is quite except for Eugeo's game that is saying some inaudible Japanese words.
"She demanded it, and I will listen to the Queen of the God's." Susanoo says proudly.
"When a God gets too full of themselves and takes their power for granted, where does it leave them? Just look at what happened to Izanag-" Eugeo starts.
"DONT! His name is not to be uttered, especially by YOU." Susanoo snaps.
"If he wasn't corrupt and a fiend for power he wouldn't be where he is!" Eugeo yells. His phone now away and he is in Susanoo's face.
"He wouldn't be where he is if you didn't kill him! You wanted that Godslayer title so damn bad you killed a good man for it!" Susanoo yells back.
"You wanna know what really happened that day? Why I really killed him?! Because he made Izanami cry. He made his wife cry. Izanami always cared about me, always showed me ways to see how Taka and my family were doing without allowing myself to be seen. We were always together. Then one day Izanagi came by, and started telling her things that weren't true! Telling her that he wasn't her husband, that the kids weren't hers! That you weren't her son! That only Demon's can be children to such a horrid creature. That if she wanted a family, to make it." Eugeo sniffles and wipes his nose, "Izanami just wanted to be loved. She just wanted to give good people a second chance. But Izanagi always said that if given a second chance with powers, humans will only cause harm. Demon's aren't like that! We protect! Most of us atleast. So, I was mad when I saw him hurt her. I exploded with rage. I turned into my True Form. I hadn't ever experienced a fight. It was when I was technically 17, five years ago. I didn't even go through the forms, I just skipped to my True Form. So, he did the same. He laughed and mocked me for trying to defend such a useless woman." Eugeo's mind begins playing the memory of that day."Why defend such a pitiful and useless Goddess? Such a fool you are." A glowing purple Izanagi says, standing in front of a pitch black shadow form of Eugeo. Izanagi looks like a galaxy in this form.
"Because, she is not pitiful or useless. She is amazing and everything a God or Goddess should be. Not some erogant prick like you!" Eugeo says. They both stand there is silence, their forms oozing black and purple.
"AHHHH! FORGET IT. YOU DIE FOR YOUR ARROGANCE!" Eugeo yells. He charges Izanagi and Izanagi dodges.
"Foolish boy. You have power rival to that of the God of Creation himself, and you squander it." Izanagi says before he forms a ball of energy in his left hand, not much bigger than his head. Inside is a beautiful purple galaxy that swirls with life.
"You shall be destroyed by the universe which you live in. Ironic, isn't it?" Izanagi laughs. Eugeo sends his fist in towards Izanagi's stomach at a rapid speed, his pitch black fist because white for a split second it goes so fast. Once he makes contact with the God's stomach, a galaxy explodes out from the back of his stomach. Stars and Planets alike, appearing around the room. Izanami stops crying and yells, "EUGEO NO!!" Izanagi looks down at Eugeo who's face can't even be seen. But the tears that run down his face can.
"She cared about me when nobody else did. You, you are pitiful and useless. Now become one with your own creation!" Eugeo yells as he kicks his left hand into his head, the orb makes contact with Izanagi's head and explodes. Eugeo jumps over Izanami and his wings burst out of his back. He grabs Izanami and flies out, as a Galactic Explosions happens in the building behind them. It was a beautiful explosion, filled with bright purple, pink, white, black and unknown colors. Then it sucks itself back inside the building, and explodes normally.
