Chapter 6: [REDACTED] Pt.2

"Who in the hell are you...?" Ben cautiously asked the stranger as he took a step back while his hand went towards the Omnitrix. He didn't want to take any chances with the wielder of the True Longinus.

"Trying to act defensive, are you Tennyson?" The stranger saw right through Ben's intention and mockingly said.

'Of course he has to know my name!' Ben internally cursed. Sometimes, his fame was both a blessing, and a curse. Though it certainly was working against him here in this situation.

Now onto the stranger himself, he was a handsome young man with black hair & blue eyes. He was wearing a combination of a Japanese gakuran and ancient Chinese battle armor, which oddly enough, suited each other. And the most important part, the True Longinus, was spear with a long blue handle, a large & wide tip, and ornamental gold attached around the spear. The amount and the purity of the Holy energy that radiated from the spear in its base form was extraordinary... No wonder Issei was barely able to stand up against that.

"Very well, then. If you so desire to know who I am, then I might as well tell then," He started spinning around the spear for a bit, before he set it straight and tap the ground with the butt of it.

"My name is Cao Cao, leader of the Hero faction that is a part of the Khaos Brigade, wielder of the Ultimate Longinus, and a fellow Human..." He said the last part with a smirk while having an unnoticeable glint in his eyes. Meanwhile, Ben raised his eyebrow at the last part because he knew it was definitely directed at him. He didn't know what to think of it, but he surely knew there was some significance to it.

Although Issei had a way different reaction, his eyes bulged out the moment he heard "Khaos Brigade" & "The Hero faction". He quickly grabbed Ben's shoulder and whisper-shouted into his ear with a still shaking voice, "B-ben! T-that guy is too dangerous with all of his goons around! I-if he's from the Khaos B-brigade, then this is about something serious! We need to retreat, n-now!"

Ben whispered back, "Wait a minute Issei, let me talk with him for a bit to at least  get something out of him," That did not totally assure Issei about the situation. Ben then once again faced and asked with total seriousness while pointing at the fox-lady , "Cao Cao was it? What are you planning on doing to her?"

Cao Cao smirked, and teasingly said, "My, oh, my Tennyson... I didn't know you were interested to know about my plans for the Kyuubi, also known as the leader of the Yokai faction in Kyoto."

'Oh, never mind. This is totally about something serious!', He thought tensely as he didn't expect things to escalate this quickly. The Omnitrix wielder gritted his teeth as he spoke, "And I bet that you're definitely not planning on doing something pretty to her..."

Suddenly, his smirk went cold as he replied, "unfortunately, yes. That pretty monster will be sacrificed to bring in the attention of the biggest lizard so we can put him down."

Issei's eyes got frozen still when he heard of "The Biggest Lizard", because if a fight was about to break out with him, Kyoto would be no longer more.  He was about to warn Ben to get the hell out of here, but unfortunately or fortunately, Ben reprimanded him from doing so, "Issei... go and escape with the Yokai leader, I'll stay here and take care of this chump." 

Issei had no words to say. On one hand, he really wanted to stay and help Ben in the fight, but on the other hand, he knew he would instantly get one-shotted the moment the spear would touch him and doesn't want to be a burden for Ben. So he activated the countdown for his Balance Breaker as dashed towards the Yokai faction's leader.  He then yelled at Ben, "Y-you better not die on me Ben!! you hear me?!"
