The Untold Story of the Soul of Anger (REMASTERED)

The Training to Master HATE Phase 1: Turn Back

Yes, the original theme is back. And one more thing, if you don't like a certain anime being referenced, you're gonna have to skip the two-part chapter because there's a ton of references when Ai is fighting against HATE.

It has been a year and we haven't been able to fight against HATE Asriel. Chara and I tried our best but to no avail. HATE kept trying to take over me so I had to stop my attacks. And my eyes were consumed with HATE, glowing red. I couldn't take it anymore, I had to stop HATE from consuming me during my battles.

?????: Hey, that kid's been going rough ever since his fight with that thing.

?????: Do you think we should tell him that-

?????: No, he already knows. That's when our time to shine comes.

I was training in the arena and my eyes kept going from normal to HATE. I had to take a break because he kept trying to take control over and over again.

"Dammit," I said, "There's no way I can win like this."

"You got that right." someone said

I turned around and I saw someone who looked taller than me. It was a man. He was wearing black pants, a leather jacket, and had a scarred face.

"Name's Kirai. I suppose you're Ai?"

"Yes, how do you know my name."

"So it is you. The one who fought that thing with Chara?"

"I would appreciate it if you called her Bete Noire. Since she's our enemy now."

He pulled something out of his jacket and it looked similar to something.

"Does this look familiar?!"

His now black hair turned gray when he put on the mask.

"You're not the only one who had trouble with your HATE."

"How did you-?"

"I had to suck out the HATE from my lover. Almost like you did."

I suddenly remembered. Maybe HATE came inside me from that moment. Suddenly, another person jumped down from a building next to Kirai.

"Kirai, what the hold-up?! You're supposed to bring him to us."

This person was a woman. She was like Kirai with the leather jacket but had scars all over her eyes and forehead. 

"He's not really deciding yet."

"And who is this?"

"Her name's Nikushimi, my lover. Are the others coming as well?"

"Yes, they should be arriving any minute now."

Then, more people appeared and they all had leather jackets. and the same color pants.

"Kirai, can you please take that mask off?"

"Fine."

He took it off and his hair was regaining color slowly.

"Allow me to introduce ourselves, we are the HATRED QUINTET! Starting from the leader, 'Kirai'"

"Second Commander: Nikushimi"

"Third Commander: Tatakai" Another man came up wearing the leather jacket and black pants but he was a skinny man and had a voice that sounded really raspy.

"Fourth Commander: Ikari" Another man came up and he seemed like the shady type because his hair was almost covering his eyes and he always had his jacket unzipped, showing off his chest.
