"You defied me, and interrupted my fun, you won't get away with it." Syura said coldly. "Boiled alive, cut to bits, burned shredded and then buried, which way should you die? Or maybe I should give you the full course?" He asked maniacally.

Wave drew his blade. "That's how you've killed countless innocent people until now, you Wild Hunt members, won't be forgiven, you can't be!" Wave announced.

"No! Just leave it!" Kurome said, pulling on Wave's arm.

"Hold it right there!" An authoritative voice shouted out, stepping out into the hall. "I sense bloodlust in the air, you think you can act up in my Palace and get away with it?" The man known as General Budo asked, stepping forward.

Syura glared at the man, his glare hardening as he noticed somebody walking just behind Budo, Okami.

He was sweating buckets, had bruises all over and was bleeding in some places, he stood tall behind Budo, wearing nothing but some ripped baggy pants.

"Such behaviour is unacceptable. Use of Teigu's will be met with the death penalty, and there's no arguing about it. The sentence will be carried out by my very own Adramelech." He stated.

This guy, Great General Budo! Wave noticed.

Tch, shut up old man, you want to get reassigned by Shambala? Syura thought. Wait, if I'm going to kill Esdeath's minions, I better think of the fallout.

"Now now Great General." Syura started, taking over. "This boy and I have gone too far to turn back now. This is just an idea but, how about we settle our fight somewhere we won't make a mess? No hard feelings no matter who wins! They settle conflicts this way in the army right?" He proposed, smirking.

Wave glared, wanting Syura's blood on his blade.

"What do you say about it?" Budo asked, his figure imposing.

Wave glanced the General, only then noticing Okami behind him, and Okami subtly nodded to him, letting him know it'd be, at the very least, a fair fight.

"Fine! Bare-handed it is." Wave responded, sheathing his blade.

"Then I'll preside over the match, come with me to the courtyard." Budo stated, leading the way.

Wave tried catching up to Okami to talk, but he shook his head, walking off behind the General.

That idiot, I'm already free on consequences, so I can go wild on this guy if I want! Syura thought.

Kurome pulled on Wave's jacket just before they reached the courtyard. "Wave, he's-"

"I know, he's a strong opponent, but I'll be okay, just you watch, I'll show you my strength!" He promised her.

Wave and Syura stared each other down, Budo, Okami and Kurome watching from the sidelines, seated.

"That boy, Wave was it? He's one of the Jaegers along with you correct?" Budo asked, glancing at Okami.

Okami nodded. "Yes, he has a will to grow stronger I've seen in very few, and has a strong sense of justice, under different circumstances, I would've introduced him to you as someone to be your successor." He responded.

Budo nodded. "Alright, begin!"

Kurome leaned forward, a bit nervous.

"Come on, I've pissed you off haven't I?" Syura asked, stretching out his arms. "Punch me like you did in the hallway, but this time don't hold back." He antagonized.

"You don't have to tell me, I'll crush you!" Wave shouted, charging forward.

He punched forward, but Syura slipped around the blow, punching out into Wave's side, Wave barely blocking the blow.
