The Military's Weapon

Dark Past Arc Chapter 12: Return Of The Flame!

A few days have passed since Ushio has decided to be a candidate to be a Ground Captain and he has been going through rigorous training with Akihito. The other day he told everyone that he became a Ground Master candidate and they were shocked and now everyday Ushio has been coming back late and is always covered in bruises. However, this is all essential for him to become stronger to  take on Eishun and Eita.

Ushio: *Huff* *Huff* How was that, Akihito.

Akihito: It was miles better than before. You are finally getting a hand on controlling your Military Special Weapon. At this rate you'll be able to put up a fair fight with them two bumbling idiots.

Ushio: You really think so?

Akihito: Of course. I wouldn't make you go through this training if I didn't see any improvement. Now then lets get some rest and we will continue the training later.

Ushio: Okay!

Akihito: Oh and make sure that you have a nice and filling meal because we will be going on to something more tougher.

Ushio: *Sigh* Okay.

Ushio is now heading towards the meeting room to sit down and rest his muscles before he goes to sleep. He was expecting no one to be up as it was 3 in the morning but Miyasaki was in there.

Miyasaki: Good morning Ushio.

Ushio: Ah! Morning Miyasaki, why are you up so early?

Miyasaki: To give you some nice warm tea and something lite before you got to bed.

Ushio: Thank you.

Miyasaki: Hey Ushio, can I ask you something.

Ushio: Sure go ahead.

Miyasaki: Who were your kidnappers?

Ushio was a bit reluctant to say as he really didn't want anybody to know that it was Yui's father and brother who kidnapped him. 

Miyasaki: Please tell me Ushio. I want to be of some use to you.

Ushio: You already are Miyasaki. You give me support and that's more than enough.

Miyasaki: *Blushing* Thank you.

Ushio: Well I'll tell you but you can't tell Yui.

Miyasaki: I promise.

Ushio: My kidnappers were....Yui's father and brother.

As fate would have Yui was walking past and heard what Ushio had said. When she heard these words, she froze and didn't know what to do. Tears rolled down her cheek as she started to feel like it was her fault that all this happened. As she stood there, Ushio felt the presence of someone near the door.

Ushio: Who's there, come in.

Yui: S...sorry.

Ushio: Ah! Yui.

Yui: I'm so sorry Ushio. This is all my fault.

Ushio: Don't speak like that. They caught me on there own accord. They never mentioned that they caught me because of you once. Besides, they said they will be back to test me so I'm preparing like crazy to put up a good fight with them. Please trust me.

Yui: Really?

Ushio: Honest. I swore I'll protect from them and I won't go back on my word.

Yui: Okay. Tomorrow I'm coming to watch you train with Akihito.

Miyasaki: So am I!

Ushio: Eh?! Fine.

Now that they have cleared the misunderstandings up, they all go to bed peacefully. Lying in bed Ushio is thinking about all of the events that have happened up to now. He knows the reason why he failed to get an attack on Eishun and Eita. He jumped in straight away and didn't think clearly and fighting that way won't get him nowhere. He thought to himself that he needs to think smarter and stronger if he wants to win next time.

*Next morning*

Akihito: Good morning. Eh! Why is all of your squad here?

Ushio: Well...

Seiji: I just wanted to see Ushio get his assed kicked. Hahahaha!!!!

Ushio: Thanks for the support.

Akihito: And I take the rest are your cheerleaders.

Miyasaki: I...I just want to see how this extreme training is.

Mai: Same here.

Yui: Akihito, let me ask you something.

Akihito: Okay.

Yui: Will this training really help Ushio go against my father and brother?

The room went quiet. Everyone wanted to know if this training will be of useful or not so then Ushio will not be put in this same predicament again.

Akihito: Well I can say that he's certainly improved and I believe that it won't be a one sided fight next time.

???: Well then shall we have a rematch.

Suddenly a swirl of fire came shooting from the floor. Rising from the flames was no one other than Eishun and Eita. There wounds have healed and look raring to go and have another slaughter match with Ushio and the others.

Eishun: Well won't we look who we have hear.

Eita: A pathetic show of our relative.

Eishun: Long time no see, my dear Yui.

Ushio: You back away from her. Your target is me.

Eishun: Eita, put a swirl of fire around the useless people and I'll transfer them.

Now a swirl of fire surrounded Seiji, Miyasaki and Akihito. Eishun was confused as to why he caught Akihito. This led him to ask Eita why has he caught him.

Eishun: Are you sure about having Akihito in there.

Eita: Yes! I want revenge.

Eishun: If you say so.

???: Speed-Lock!

Ushio: Amari-Sensei!

Eishun Flame: Heat Transmisson.

Amari-Sensei got caught in the swirling flame as well. As he got separated he said.

Amari-Sensei: Take care of them.

Ushio: Amari!!!! EVERYONE!!!!!!
