____________________________________"Hmnp! You should be worried about shitting yourself on the battlefield!" grumbles Sigmaringen
"At least she's more useful than you," commented Sho as he parried a punch from Berserker.
"What was that!?" roared Sigmaringen.
"Oh, I'm sorry, was I too not clear enough?" asked Sho as he quickly formed a time out with his hand, to which Berserker obliged as he was curious to see what Sho would do, "Here, let me help you."
Sho suddenly pulled out a speakerphone from somewhere, clearing his throat before shouting into it, "I said she's more useful than a cowardly weakling who has a shitty master and now a useless master"
Several of the unarmed disciples had to turn around to hide their facial expressions, though one could see their shoulders shaking. While the armed disciples were supposed to have a more united front, a small frown could be seen painted on Yui's face as well as Kanase.
Sigmarigen was almost frothing in the mouth as he readied his scythe to slash at Sho when someone jumped over his head, stomping onto the scythe and pinning it to the ground.
"Now, now. Let's not fight against each other," ordered Satomi with a smile as he gently lifted his foot, allowing Sigmarigen to reclaim his weapon, "Our mutual enemy will soon reveal themselves. And it is in that fight we will show them that our path as martial artists is just! Remember, there is no honor in senseless murder or a meaningless death!"
"Tell that to him," muttered Sho, gesturing to Sigmarigen while also slightly breaking the tone of Satomi's speech.
Satomi gave Sho a small glare, though unable to deny the truth of his words as Sigmarigen did in fact kidnap a civilian to threaten Kenichi into submission, a 'dishonorable and senseless murder'.
Satomi's bodyguards, Natsuki and Hatsuki, gave Sho a twin glare, but Sho merely scoffed it off.
And soon, we will meet, Shirahama Kenichi,' thought Satomi to himself, his hands clenching into a tight fist, 'And you will see that despite all your talent, I will defeat you just as I defeated my destiny to die before 20.'
Satomi knew how strong Kenichi was after all he read the reports but that didn'tean he will give up a chance against fighting him if it arrives though the chances of it were low as Ogata had called dibs to fight against him.
"Aufheben. At dawn, when the eastern sky is dyed in red, the shadows will nestle close to the dance of death of the hazelwoods. That is their Aufheben," recited Edeltaft, leaving Ogata confused at what he was saying before deducing that fighting a mutual enemy would unify the disciples. When asking to see if he had interpreted it right, Ogata found himself being ignored as Edltaft wandered off.
"Cultural gaps are difficult to overcome," commented Kushinada as the rest of the One Shadow Nine Fist appeared.
"While that is true, it wouldn't hurt to show to our students that we masters can get along as well," hummed Ogata, "Especially when the moment comes."

Yami's naval fleet had launched from the bay area, ready to invade. While other countries had formed a grand alliance to fight Yami, they were left scrambling to find where they were located, as Yami had taken over all the satellites, denying them visual information. Yami's plan was to incite doubt in every government, to lead them into panic and confusion before total warfare gave way, leading to their ultimate goal, the Eternal Sunset.
"Sir!" shouted one of the operators, "A fleet of bogeys are approaching our position! They've already penetrated through our defensive net and are getting closer and closer!"
Senzui was slightly surprised that their island home base had been discovered, but ultimately chose to ignore it. In the end, it wouldn't even matter.
"So they've arrived," hummed Senzui.
Several airlifters were flying towards the island, staying low to the water so they could avoid being detected by the radar until the last possible second.
Upon visual confirmation, the Yami soldiers began firing upon the airlifters, trying to shoot them down. Soon, they managed to land some hits, crippling their wings. The airlifters, though shot, managed to descend and crash into the shallow waters, allowing the passengers to safely get out before rescuing the pilots to ensure they were safe, too.
"Though warfare has changed throughout the years, it is still men who start it, and it will be men who will determine its outcome," declared Senzui.
Walking out of the airlifts were all of Ryoznapaku's masters, Shiba, Danki, Taiki, and Kagero, wading through the shallow waters. They knew they were the major distraction, but it didn't mean that the distraction could become the main strike force if given the chance.
Under the sea, in a stealth submarine, was the black ops strike force, getting ready to surface once the vanguard sufficiently distracted the enemy. Within the submarine were the majority of the Shinpaku Alliance force, Saiga currently in his Mr. Okamoto disguise, the Pankration team, Renka, Naoki, Bearman, Genson Ryu, Koan, and the Tanaka couple, who were to be the first wave. Tsutomu and Maya had sent their daughter Kairi to live with Tsutomu's aunt, who was currently residing in the countryside, far from the major city. Though it pained them to do so, they knew they couldn't turn away from their duty when they had the ability to do so. And despite asking to be in the vanguard force for the chance to fight Ogata, they understood the reasoning why they were denied, though it didn't stop them from grumbling.
The Valkyries and the logistics force of the Shinpaku Alliance, of course, did not come. While the Valkyries argued they were willing to go, but an order from Kaname, Niijima, and Kenichi shut them down.
In the reserve force that would follow them was Ryuto, Rimi, and to the surprise of quite a few, the Capoeira team. Silvio, aka Shinobi, had been able to convince Lucas and the others to come to aid the Shinpaku Alliance.
"Yo, I never got to thank you for your advice," whispered Shinobi as he met up with Kenichi, "Thanks to your advice, I'm actually dating Aisha!"
"Congratulations," smiled Kenichi.
"Yea," smiled Shinobi dreamily before shaking his head, "Turns out, Lucas already knew I liked her and wasn't interested in her in the first place. So he helped out by making sure when we had to do some tasks that I ended up teaming up with Aisha more often. Bastard isn't as much of a heartless jerk as I thought. Still a bastard, though."
While Kenichi could only cough, their conversation would have to be put on hold as it was time for sparring practice once more.
Ryuto was in the back, meditating for a bit with Rimi eagerly looking over him in silence.
A day prior to getting into the submarine, Kenichi had pulled Ryuto aside, and against the advice of Niijima, told him what they were going to deal with as he didn't wanted him to take any action unless he himself was ready for it.
So Ryuto spent the whole trip meditating, ignoring Rimi small pouts and prodding as he used this time to gather his mind.
That was another point, Rimi had come because she wanted to help him. He was aware her actions were far from selfless like saving Japan, but the fact the girl's goal was to be useful to him was heartwarming… while also worrying for the girl's future.
'I guess I should reward her a little,' thought Ryuto as he opened his eyes.
"Ne, Ryuto-sama, what wi-," began Rimi before Ryuto suddenly pulled her forward by her blouse and kissed her lips. It wasn't a full-on kiss, but merely a peck to the lips.
However, that was enough for Rimi's whole body to turn red before fainting.
'Rimi is content now. Rimi can die knowing her first kiss was Ryuto-sama,' thought Rimi before she lost consciousness.
"Well, at least I have some more time to meditate peacefully now," said Ryuto before closing his eyes once more.
