CHAPTER 4 (RIVALS)

Back at school everything seems to be normal for the time being, yoshida goes on with class

During class

"wukong was up with does crystals" wukong replied that they were from the shogunate plateau,a valley near china that had poisoning effect on humans,but would nullify spiritual energy. A cultivator must always avoid them said wukong, "l think we should check out were pyros was ambushed they sure were scattered around ", "after school then?" "Okay". replied yoshida

After school yoshida headed straight for the power plant but he does not know he is being watched,that night yoshida comes home relatively early "hey mom I'm home, where's dad", "finally, your dad couldn't come home he's staying at a hotel tonight he will be back tomorrow ". Yoshida grabs the remote to watch TV and what he sees shocks him, "what the police are calling the most severe terrorist attack in Tokyo,has just taken place dozens of blocks attacked but the worse was the damage done to sugisawa high school the rescue team has found several injured,many hospitalized staffs,they are still moving through the rumble looking for any trapped in the demolished building", yoshida cautiously called jinho but it doesn't answer he is worried,he runs straight to school on his way he calls jinho's parents but they say he hasn't come home, yoshida reaches the school recognizing the black crystals all over the place "whoever did this is the same person that killed pyros probably under odafang but all the inners dead and outers disbanded" he keeps wondering then he races into the rumble. "Pull out guys I don't think there is anyone there,hey come back here hey hey!!!",yoshida gets through the rumble fairly easily thanks to his enhanced strength getting past the broken down building,he then finds jinho's body he can't sense anyone else trapped in,then he looks at jinho with both fear and danger, suddenly jinho begins to scream in pain his eyes were as black as night strange marks were all over him "wukong what's this" "oh no his been stabbed with the shogunate obsidian,find and remove the crystal that could reduce the pain", yoshida frantically searches jinho and finds it near his knee and removes noticing jinho calming down but still seems to be dyeing "we need to get him to the hospital now", "kid wait your wasting your time if herbs grown by gods couldn't stop it's effects your human drugs would just make it worse ,hit the staff three times then twist it".yoshida did as he was told and a small bracelet fell out "will it heal him" said yoshida."I'm sorry but no it will only slow it down". yoshida sneaks out the building with jinho unseen,he lays jinho down on his bed at home,yoshida trods the room desperately looking for a plan,jinho could die on a few hours,he was scared. "Kid there is a way the "ranma" technique,a captured spirit is used to replace the part of the soul affected by the shogunate but only at the will of the spirit" "how do we do that,where do we even get a spirit" "megeria","you mean odafang's late daughter what does she have to do with anything" "I didn't tell you everything,she was my love interest we even had a bit of love story,after she died she said she couldn't live without me sealing her soul in the staff she begged me not to tell odafang as his hatred would only increase,she was surprised to see that I am also bounded to the staff we have been happy since " "how come we've never met" "she can't manifest at will you will have to summon her out,you ready kid","for jinho sake"

Later on they succeeded in summoning megeria from within the staff then she regails them of the tales of how the humans she was protecting killed her in hopes of attaining power,she is then convinced by wukong of yoshidas good will and all he is doing to protect mankind,few hours jinho begins to recover yoshida says "so jinho is now stuck with a spirit like me but wukong seems moody, "dude what's up jinho is fine now" "No that's not how the ranma technique works,spiritual consciousness has been sacrificed she's gone for good".now acknowledging the sacrifice megeria made wukong and yoshida start brainstorming how to find the killer.

That same night yoshida decides to go tell jinho's parents that he was getting better and see how they were doing so he didn't bother calling,as he rushed scaling apartment racing across the roofs of Houses. As he makes the jump for another rooftop he senses something,he dodged in mid-air just scraping the tip of his shoulder,he recognizes the shogunate crystal before he could react he is punched then falls and looks up"what tha" ,"Mr sugisawa!!!" "In the flesh,I hope you received the package I left for you at school "*grins menacing*yoshida replies angrily"you bastard!!!"

Yoshida rushed at sugisawa trying to land a punch after punch but he keeps countering breaking yoshida arm "aargh!!*cracking bones*"yoshida staggers back rethinking his strategy,he thinks this guy is obviously better than me martial arts "I guess I'll just use raw power zakurash(black blast that moves spotenously until hitting it's target) sugisawa brings out a broad sword cutting through the blast,in shock yoshida stares thinking that "that shouldn't be possible"ichinose rushes at yoshida with his eyes glowing a radiant purple furiously slashing at yoshida damaging his vitals and he followed it with a kick which sends him across the street,he adjusts his suit moving for the final blow "hey you stop right there(raising a gun)"replied a voice from the background "officer I'm afraid if I let you and him live I'll will loose my reputation, now we don't that do we."da_ _ _d,dad,dad no!!"yoshida barely able to speak "boys!!"said yoshida's father Marco "sir!!"replied the other officers, "I don't know what is going on but that is my son and if this guy messes with him he messes with the entire Tokyo police force,open fire!!!"

Gunshots heading straight for ichinose,"carnelian haze(with a swing of his blade a purple wave spreads trapping the officers in shogunate leaving only their head remains)"one by one sugisawa decapitated them all "yoshida gahh!!!(head cut off)" ,yoshida shouts in rage"your gonna die*stands up and rushes at sugisawa*"sugisawa immediately senses his movements and dodges with a knee to yoshida's ribs shattering it."*sword pointed at yoshida*helpless and alone how does it feel yoshida replies furiously but still in pain"but why sugisawa ","ooh that's not my name just call me kaede it's the last thing you'll ever hear*raising his sword to kill him*" "rahh!!",a massive polar bear claws him and grabs yoshida then runs.yoshida is shocked then falls unconscious"dammit,I can't stay any longer people are coming
