“KAI!! IT WAS YOU THE WHOLE TIME! What are you doing here?” asked Shinku
“Well it’s not a surprise now is it, I work for your dad now, well soon not anymore but you get the point,” replied Kai.
“What are you guys doing here and what are you guys trying to accomplish from killing my dad,” asked Shinku.
“His riches! We are going to take over the Hono riches and steal all of them for ourselves! Then we will take over the organization too!” said Kai.
“What happened to you? You used to be my best friend! You used to be so kind-hearted I remember you would train in the dojo every day what happened to you!” said Shinku.
“Well you know, times have changed and I've become a new man!” replied Kai.
“Kai I promise you whatever happened I will fix it! just tell me what it is!” Said Shinku.
“What happened to me is something not even you can fix!” Then a sudden BOOM! A shockwave hit the ground causing Aoi to fall off of Kai, and Kai and Haruto flee from the scene while Kai yells to Shinku, “You can’t stop me so don’t bother trying to!”
“What was that? That sound! Does Kai also have a sixir?” asked Kazuki.
“No he doesn’t, it’s a gadget that uses a great amount of built-up power and when you release it, it makes a shockwave,” said Shinku.
“Wow, I didn't even know that such a weapon like that existed,” replied Kazuki.
“They don’t sell it in just any normal markets. You have to buy it at a black market and those gadgets cost a ton of money even for black market level items.” Said Shinku.
“So I’m guessing they are able to buy it because of the money they get from the organization?” Asked Aoi.
“Ye, and not only do they have those gadgets, they even have more highly technical gadgets too.” Said Shinku.
“So what now? Do we go stop them? Or do we just let them go?” Asked Kazuki.
“No, we are going to stop them. But first, Shinku has to explain what he meant by saying Kai was his best friend? I’m gonna need you to explain to us everything you know about Kai, so we can find his biggest weaknesses, and his biggest strengths.” Said Aoi.
“Ok but it’s going to be long,” Shinku claimed.
“Kai Toshiba was born on the island of Hikari, also the same island I was born on. I knew him since we were little kids because he used to go to my father's dojo to learn swordsmanship but every time my dad told me to learn the way of the sword I just ran away to learn martial arts with my uncle.” Shinku explained.
“Kai would actually train in the dojo to learn sword fighting but something that's crazy is I’ve never seen him pick up a sword even though I heard he was very skilled. In the dojo, my dad had a chest and in there was a treasure. What type of treasure? Nobody knows. He will tell the kids that only the strongest and worthy could get it and Kai became obsessed with trying to get it. Every day Kai would train by himself and push himself past his limits so he could be strong enough to get that treasure.” Shinku added.
Kai would come to the dojo and challenge every kid there to a sword fight, and according to what I heard, he would win every single one of them. He would join me after dojo training to play games like basketball, and I would occasionally teach him combat moves. I'd be wary when we played, but Kai would just keep practicing when he got home. I heard that he came to the dojo one day and challenged my father for the treasure, but that he lost, and that my father told him that he was powerful, but that he would never be strong enough to win the treasure, so he quit. I didn't see him again after that day; I waited for him at the playground to play games with him, and I even went to his parent's house, but neither he nor his parents were there. Then I heard that they had run away, and I have never met him since.” Shinku concluded.
"Well, that didn't tell us much about him, but it did tell us a lot about your father and his dojo," says Aoi.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about him or his family; he was the only kid in the playground with whom I would hang out," Shinku says
"Does that mean he's your best friend?" Kazuki enquired.
“People were too afraid to linger around the son of the dojo's teacher, therefore he was my sole friend." Shinku retorted
Okay, folks, now that the story is finished, we have a lot of work to do, but first and foremost, we need to go teach Kai and his other goons a lesson!" Aoi exclaims ecstatically.
