“The first line of business we have that needs to be taken care of is simple, we need our land back. Fortunately we have Sun’s word and eye for this. I will be working on the solution, it’ll be hard but I think we have a way with this, everyone focus on the village and the problems within it. We need to keep our home clean before we step outside trying to clean up the demon’s.” The Scientist says.194Please respect copyright.PENANAETTqNwQw6x
“Everyone. Get some rest, we start tomorrow.”
The Next Day; The Scientist Laboratory
“....The destroyer. The lowest ranking of all the divine, famed to return when the world is at its weakest. To fight for who he desires, known for his variety of negative emotions. Violence, rage, anger, ego, and jealousy.” The Scientist glared angrily as she looked through the scraps of burnt paper that she salvaged before they returned to the village.194Please respect copyright.PENANAK8l02epE7p
“Anti-god, demon, demigod, powerful/mighty, ugh shut up already I get it.” She continued to read the scrolls. 194Please respect copyright.PENANAw3mqEvdkpe
“Constantly angry okay… wants only violence uh huh… seeking fights wherever they can... They have hard times controlling their anger and Oh sh-..” 194Please respect copyright.PENANA6h9yi4Y549

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!”194Please respect copyright.PENANAVVbuRK6sP9
“HAAAAAAAHH!!!” Outside the village Kenji and Xenthos were running around killing various demons side by side, however this wasn’t an ultimate team up considering Xenthos was not just fighting a horde of demons but also facing the numerous attacks thrown by Kenji aimed at him.194Please respect copyright.PENANAokJIaBBe7b
“Can you stop?!”
“Why would I do that?! We can both move again, we’re both in fighting form, even worse! These demons bore the hell out of me and I wanna see what you can do!” Kenji swung down hard his strikes causing cracks in Xenthos’s phantom gauntlets, he’d swing and punch him back.
“We’ve got a job to do! Quit goofing off- uh uh?” Xenthos looked behind Kenji and waved his gauntlets away.194Please respect copyright.PENANAYfXHNyEeLw
“There was something in the sky over there…”
“Eh?” Kenji turned and looked behind him confused.194Please respect copyright.PENANAFcbNauqbAR
“Yeah… I see it. Is that a guy?”
“Not just one, multiple. Come on.” Xenthos walked past Kenji and both began to run towards the light, looking around Kenji saw one of the various distortions to the world. A massive graveyard of stone pillars and rock constructs.
“Jump off these, we’ll clear the horizon easier than running it.” Xenthos kept running.
“You said you wanted to see what I can do right?!”
“Yeah!” Kenji jumped on the pillars and began leaping looking back at Xenthos who was still on the ground.
“Then keep up!” Looking back into his past Xenthos recalled something his Master had taught him, kinetic redirection.
“What’s that Axel??” A little Xenthos looked up at a tall swarthy skinned male with short black hair looking down at him, the man had a black dragon tattoo coiling around his left arm. Sitting down he’d gently pat Xenthos on the head.
“Hit me.” Xenthos made a fist and punched the man in the jaw as hard as he could.
“Like that Sensei??”
“Mmmhm.” Axel walked over to a nearby rock and pressed his finger against it, suddenly the rock had a dent deep in it causing a cave in on its surface towards its core.194Please respect copyright.PENANAQm0ffuMJfh
“Kinetic redirection, it allows you to store up the force from kinetic energy and expel it back at your opponents. But don’t just hold all that energy inside, it’ll kill you if you do. Feel free to use it on anything.”
“Why only in a fight? Get creative with it! You could do so much with it, if it increases your power then maybe you can make explosions with your punches!”
“That sounds dangerous, Ibaraki…”
“Demons are dangerous Junsui, so her idea is smart but not when you’re all so inexperienced. It could blow your arm off. Worse yet, tear off half your body if you aren’t accustomed to the kick back. Which can be very helpful for clearing some distance.” Back in the present Xenthos hopped three times to get some air before raising his hands up and slamming down both fists and rocketing himself into the air leaving behind a small crater. Kenji watched him zoom past, making him do as he said, leaping off the pillar and running along the ground to keep up with him.
“What’s the status of this ruin??” A man asked looking over at his partner, the man had short white hair wearing a brown black and gold coat with black fur around the neck.
“Can’t say for sure man, it seems untouched but it could be that whatever we have stored in here was found and the one who found it just put everything back.”
“Due to what Lucifer said I’d wouldn’t put it past that woman to do just that, shooting at our kind is a high taboo yet she didn’t hesitate to do so. Nor did her allies, if they continue to circumvent the way of the world as it is now. They’ll get in the way and interfere with the plans.”
“We really can’t just let 'em in on it?”
“Fiends aren’t devoted to the divine as much as humans are, the last thing we want is the unhinged interfering Pyxis.”
“You’re the boss.” Pyxis sighed as he walked towards the door to the ruins and examined it.194Please respect copyright.PENANAkcJmRsfmZI
“Again I can’t see any-” Suddenly Pyxis looked behind him, he heard the sound of a low whistle through the wind.194Please respect copyright.PENANA9aKzuBU1B4
“Is someone shooting a missile at us-”
BOOM!!!
“Gah… Never really figured out how to make a quiet landing.”
BOOM!!!
“The hell kind of trick was that huh?”
“Something my master taught me, nothing too crazy.”
“Oh yeah? I’ll need to meet this master of yours, see what other secrets he’s hiding.” The two of them kept going back and forth for a while while both men stood there looking at them confused.
“Do they not notice us??”
“I’m sure they do, they’re just so wrapped up in themselves they’re ignoring us.”
“So like… do we just… uh. Leave them to their devices? I mean they don’t seem-”
“Dispose of them Pyxis.”
“Okay okay.” Pyxis sighed looking at his boss as he walked over to Xenthos and Kenji.194Please respect copyright.PENANALkM4Kprr1u
“Sorry but Boss’s orders, I gotta do what I gotta do.” Looking onwards Xenthos and Kenji could sense an imposing presence from him, they watched as his hair rose and began to flow, his eyes becoming sharper as he walked towards them. Both of them got ready and then rushed him.
