Chapter 111

The next morning Maci was trying on different outfits.

"Maci." Kagura stood behind her. "Why are you in my clothes?"

Maci froze and slowly turned to Kagura. She had taken one of her button up shirts but left the first few buttons undone. "What?" She crossed her arms and began to lift up her breast slightly. "I think it looks good."

"Please stop taking my stuff." Kagura began to shake her head and walked off.

Meanwhile at the island with Nitro, Brooklyn, and Ray. The three had just finished their usual sparring for the day and sat at the shore relaxing.

"So how come Lady First doesn't have your abilities?" Brooklyn asked as she watched the sea.

"She got her mothers ability of lightning." Ray responded. "Her ability and personality...both overly confident and annoyingly stubborn...." He began to smile. "It was nice."

Brooklyn glanced down at the floor as Ray continued to ramble on about his wife and daughter. Ray really loves talking about his family....wonder if I'd be just as happy if I knew my family. She thought to herself while she zoned out and suddenly snapped back into reality. "Oh. I'm glad you care about your family so much."

"If you're stronger than Andere how come you aren't the first?" Nitro began to think. "I mean that way we'd be the strongest country in the world."

"I have no interest in that sort of thing Nitro." Ray responded. "For the longest time I just wanted to sit on this island and fish for the rest of my life...sadly though I can't have that. Andere always wanted to challenge herself with opponents stronger than the last." He let out a loud sigh. "That attitude almost cost the girl her life countless times. Anyway." Ray took a breath from the rambling he was doing. "I'd ask about your families but I already know the answer."

Brooklyn and Nitro both remained silent as they began to stare at the numbers on their body.

"Yeah." Brooklyn stared at her arm before clenching her fist tightly. "It doesn't matter though. Wait how did you know?"

Ray raised a finger and began to tap his forehead. "One of my many many many abilities is viewing memories."

"Wait wait wait. You have more than one ability?!" Nitro asked in shock. "That's amazing! How many do you have?!"

"I have so many I lost count." Ray shrugged. "Only reason I have so many is because if these." He pointed to his eyes. "Anything I see. I can copy and make my own."

"So even ours?" Nitro held up his hand and surrounded it in a black aura.

"Of course." Ray held up his hand and did the exact same. "Pretty useful. Since I've lived a long time and have seen a lot of abilities." Ray had the aura vanished as he glanced at towards Brooklyn. "My abilities are also how I knew what to show you during your mental training...speaking of we never did Nitro did we?"

"Oh right. I forgot about that-" Nitro stopped in the middle of his sentence as Ray tapped his forehead and put him into an illusion.

Nitro opened his eyes and saw himself at a dinner table. He sat with a man and a woman who both had some resemble to him. "What? Where am I?"

"You're eating dinner with your family son." The man said with a smile.

"Mhm." The woman agreed. "Your family Nitro. Your family." She began to repeat over and over and over. Soon the room began to fill with cracks as the building began to fall apart. The man and woman continued to say "Your family"

"Stop!" Nitro shouted as he opened his eyes and found he was back on the island.

"What's wrong Nitro?" Brooklyn glanced at him and tilted her head.

"It's nothing." Nitro sighed. "Just the training is all."

"Well that's good." Brooklyn gave a smile before suddenly widening her eyes. "Huh?" She began to cough out blood and glanced down as a blade was suddenly drove through chest. "N-Nitro?" She suddenly went limp and fell into his arms.

"Brooklyn?" Nitro stared at the lifeless body in his arms. "Brooklyn?! Brooklyn?!" He began to repeatedly shout at the top of his lunges.

Suddenly Nitro opened his eyes and shouted again. "Brooklyn?!"

"What?" Brooklyn responded as she was still right next to Nitro.

"Huh? Oh. It must've just been more illusions from Ray." Nitro glanced to the side. "That's all."

"Hm." Brooklyn shrugged and stood up. "Well Ray left. He said he'll meet up with us soon for more sparring."

"Right." Nitro nodded as he and Brooklyn both walked off and began to smile. I'm glad it was just an illusion.
