Yinlong Strikes A Deal!

(As Yinlong and Heishe then enters the Meeting Hall of the Angels, it was a temporary infirmary as many Angels who suffered were unconscious or recovering from their injuries.)

"Yinlong: ...All these Angels... Suffering from what he's done."
"Heishe: He didn't care who they were.. Man, woman, child or senior.. He would kill or harm them in brutal fashion."
"???: You must be Yinlong..."

(With the two's attention turned to an aging Angel whom was recovering from his injuries, he was then introduced to one of the five Angels of God."

"Heishe: Yinlong, this is one of our five Elders-"
"Yinlong: Fouchan De' Mori, the Ancestral Hero Of Divinity! A legend during 1983's war between the Beasts and Angels."
"Fouchan De' Mori (Race: Angel (AWK) | War Hero & One of The Five Eyes of God): It seems you know who I am..."
"Yinlong: How could I not, you held the record for most eliminations during the Tower of Combat for a span of four years.."
"Fouchan: Hahaha... You remember my record? I'm grateful, Yinlong. But we can save the miscellaneous talk for another time. For now, I am asking of your help. We need to defeat Burleigh and we need your assistance."
"Yinlong: ...But I've just started my time in Worldly Conquest Academy, I needed this... But again, I can't ignore that Burleigh kidnapped my friend too..."
"Fouchan: I will ensure you that you will be compensated for your troubles, tripled the amount you will be given for your help. Win or lose."
"Heishe: Elder Mori, are you positive?!"
"Fouchan: Yinlong may be young, but his power possesses great unparalleled strength. He is the key to defeating the man who controls Darkness like a puppet."
"Heishe: Very true, but tripling his compensation after what we've suffered? Are you sure that's-"

(Before her sentence can be finished, Heishe's Militia Communicator was sounding off an urgent call from the Militia's Leader herself, Saya Kuraiko. With Heishe hesitating for a moment, she would then answer immediately, Yinlong listening in along with Fouchan too while their call was then placed under a privacy barrier by Fouchan.)

"Heishe: Capitan Kuraiko!"
"Saya: Heishe, what's the status on the rescue team for Haiwei?"
"Heishe: ..Its um.. We're close to shipping out, but we needed more firepower so we're searching for volunteers to assist with our rescue."
"Saya: Volunteers?"
"Heishe: Worthwhile volunteers, you know! The stronger ones that can last longer in a fight..!"
"Saya: Good call, I'll allow it. And while I have you at the moment, is one of the Elders with you right now?"
"Heishe: U-Uh, yeah. Elder Mori is right here with me."
"Fouchan: Speaking."
"Saya: Elder Mori. On behalf of the Militia, we will do our utmost to put a stop to Burleigh and return your captured Angel family members."
"Fouchan: The Angels of God will assist you with any support necessary for we too will be attacking soon to battle Burleigh."
"Saya: Your support is very welcome."
"Heishe: Captain, if I may ask. What do you plan to do with Burleigh, he's soon to come into contact with a Militia base."
"Saya: The Militia has been informed to kill on sight, but have also agreed to take the captured Asmedai for bounty collection."
"Yinlong: HOLD IT!"
"All: ?!"

(With Yinlong's voice being an utter shock to Saya, she would then return to the communicator and proceeds with a stern face.)

"Saya: ...Yinlong."
"Yinlong: There is no way in hell I'm letting any of you assholes keep Asmedai locked up, I'll be damned!"
"Saya: So you're resisting us of a legal arrest on your "friend" by showing your insubordination?"
"Yinlong: Am I not the one bastard you guys want to arrest?!"
"Saya: Actually, Heishe.. Why is Yinlong alongside you?"
"Heishe: ...B-..Because um... Yinlong is going to f-fight alongside the Militia to stop Burleigh..."
"Saya: Denied."
"All: ?!"
"Heishe: B-But Captain!"
"Saya: Yinlong has no official right to be involved in Militia business. For the sake of your career as a Militia Region Captain, you will not be entering the fight with Yinlong."
"Yinlong: ...That's low, even for you."

(As Yinlong then pondered of an idea, he was then reminded of the Tournament of Champions.)

"Yinlong: ...Actually, Miss Militia Captain.. How about we make a little deal?"
"Saya: ..A deal? Pfft. Must be delusional if you believe I'd negotiate with a terrorist."
"Yinlong: I see, such a shame. You know, the Animatronic Raid is bound to start back up soon. And if it does, thousands will come flocking to the Raid Realm to obtain the new Six Star weapons."
"Saya: ...What does that have to do with anything?"
"Yinlong: Seven. Cores."
"Saya: ...?! Seven.. cores..?"
"Fouchan: ..Y-Yinlong, even I find that to be too much to-"
"Yinlong: It is my only offer, if you're willing to hear me out."
"Saya: ...How can I believe you have Seven Origin Cores?"
"Yinlong: Trust me, they're in my possession. As for how I've obtained them in such a short time, that's another additional fee to pay."
"Saya (Thinking): ...Damn him, even as he's talking over the communicator, he doesn't appear to be lying... seven Origin Cores...? If he's really that rich.. (Aloud): Say if you actually do have seven Origin Cores, what's the catch?"
"Yinlong: I bring you Burleigh's head, freshly decapitated. As you cut off Asmedai's bounty, it's long overdue but under a clause made by the Counsel of Origin regarding the Militia speaking on Overdue Bounties: "Bounties that have been released and not collected within thirty five years of it's release cannot be collected."
"Heishe (Thinking): That's a real rule..?"
"Saya: ...Seven Origin Cores and Burleigh's head, only if we cut off Asmedai's bounty?"
"Yinlong: Take it or leave it."
"Saya: ..You're a very smart man, Yinlong. I look forward to meeting you again in the future. Very well, Heishe. I take back my earlier statement, Yinlong may work alongside the Militia.. For now."
"Heishe: T-Thank you, Captain... I'll be heading back to work now, signing off!"

(With the call now over, the barrier was removed as Heishe then collapsed to her knees over the scary presence from the two just now.)

"Fouchan: Y-You really don't have seven Origin Cores, don't you Yinlong...?"
"Yinlong: Oh no, I really have them. I had a lot of Six Star weapons I don't use or didn't like so during the time I was laying low, I did some trading for some fair prices."
"Fouchan: Goodness.. Just what have you been doing ever since that Royal Gathering..?"
"Heishe: Well, with all of that out of the way... We need a plan to get to his ship."
"Yinlong: Actually, we don't need a plan."
"Heishe: Huh?"
"Yinlong: Check this, I received a message during the call."

(With Yinlong revealing the message, Heishe and Fouchan both read it thoroughly.)

"Message (Sender: Optimus Primus): Yinlong, by the time you read this message, it will have been too late. I know things have been a bit long and we don't speak as much, but I have some interesting information on Burleigh and yes, I know about him capturing Asmedai. That's why, I'm here to help. It says he's qualified himself for the Tournament of Champions along with multiple other powerful warriors too. If in need of anything else, don't hesitate to reply back. -Primus."

(As Yinlong then clicks the Tournament of Champions link and immediately signed up, he was then registered as an official fighter.)

"Both: ARE YOU NUTS?!"
"Yinlong: I'm doing it. I made a promise to your Captain that I would bring her Burleigh's head and I will make sure it happens."
"Fouchan: Even someone as young as you boldly signing up for an event like the Tournament of Champions?!"
"Yinlong: I will do my utmost to win. I don't care how, but I must get stronger now so I can kill Burleigh."
"???: You've done bought yourself a ticket into a fiery grave."

(With the slam of an empty bear mug from a drunk yet harmed Angel with the age of a man in his seventies, he'd explain further to what he means.)

"Old Man Simiel (Race: Angel | Former Tower Of Combat Winner | Sinner Rating: ???): The Tournament of Champions is deemed the most ruthless, painfully disturbing and merciless event to have ever been made in the entire Realmverse! Legend says you can still hear the cries of millions, rotting in agony in spirit whenever you step onto that field... Many young ones enter the event and never come out a winner, but instead begins to even regret existing."
"Yinlong: How do you even know this?"
"Old Man Simiel: The many battles I've witnessed after winning one Tower of Combat seemed easy to watch... But when involved with the Tournament, you either die or you forfeit. And they will murder you ruthlessly."
"Fouchan: I am not by any means downgrading you. But there will be some very powerful names attending the tournament, some are contenders every year. One of those people being the War Crazed Animatronic..."
"Yinlong: Wait a minute, you mean she'll be there this year?"
"Heishe: Hard to tell really, ever since she's declared war against Trirae, there hasn't been any updates on an immediate war from either side."
"Old Man Simeil: All that aside, Yinlong. You are far too eager to fight back for revenge, that vengeance is what's gonna cost you!"
"Heishe: Old Man Simiel's right, Yinlong. It'd be actually stupid to kill him in that tournament, there has to be a better way."
"Yinlong: I'm still doing it. I'm keeping my promise. If I die in that very ring, then it means I was weaker than I thought. But I will be more powerful before that tournament begins, then hope I'm in the same bracket as Burleigh..."

(As Yinlong walked out the door, the two would then follow him as Yinlong equipped one of his Warp Earrings and used one of his unlocked abilities when his eyes are closed, 'Threat Scan', allowing Yinlong to scan across multiple realms to find one or more negative forces nearby or specific coordinates if given the player's name. This can only be used if the enemy is currently committing an ongoing crime.)

"Yinlong: Found him."
"Heishe: H-HUH?! YOU FOUND HIM?!"
"Yinlong: Quickly, put these earrings on and grab whoever's going with you."

(As Heishe then rushed to call all of the rescue forces to regroup to prepare for immediate departure.)

"Heishe: Everyone! We will be retrieving our stolen friends, to battle!"
"All: TO BATTLE!"
"Heishe: Yinlong, warp us away!"

(With Yinlong's concentration focused on Burleigh's massive pirate ship, the entire rescue team including himself, Heishe and Fouchan despite him recovering from his injuries insisted on going.)

"Yinlong: Asmedai... I'm coming to save you, buddy!"

(With a quick warp through multiple realms, the standby Angels were still cheering on the group as a spy from the rooftop of a church's bell managed to capture photos of Yinlong and the others. With a quick intention to contact their client, they then reported everything to Him.)

"???: Boss, I've got what you wanted."

(Meanwhile in the 666th Realm, Tartarus, Hellaux was then slaughtering multiple players who has attempted to hijack his realm for he remained the ruler. On standby and protected by a barrier of dark magic was Dakakos, sitting on nothing but air inside his own barrier.)

"Dakakos (Stray | Race: Beast (AWK) | Bounty: $109,000,000 | Sinner Rating: 10 Stars): Heh. Perfect, what's our ex-leader doing anyway?"
"???: He said something about signing up for the Tournament of Champions, hoping to kill Burleigh when he's fighting him."
"Dakakos: ...PFFT...! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! Him..? In the Tournament of Champions? Its so comical, I might die laughing.. Hellaux!"

(With Hellaux splitting open the final player's jaw and decapitating the player with an uppercut to the chin, severing their head from the neck, he'd turn around and answer Dakakos.)

"Hellaux (Stray | Race: Beast (AWK) | Bounty: $440,500,000 | Militia's Most Wanted): ..What?"
"Dakakos: How would you like to reunite with our former leader this time? It may require you to beat him to near death."
"Hellaux: ...Where do I meet him?"
"Dakakos: My dear spy, you've done wonders for this new development. You will be sent your payment, enjoy the week off."
"???: W-WOW! T-Thank you boss!!"

(With the communication call then ended, Dakakos would release himself from his dark barrier as another group of players would then simultaneously attack Dakakos before the snap of his fingers would freeze all six players in place before being diced into bite size pieces of flesh and meat with blood raining all over the two.)

"Dakakos: Now.. with that out of the way. You will be seeing our old leader again in the Tournament of Champions."
"Hellaux: I would most definitely love to "accidentally" kill him while we have our little.. reunion."
"Dakakos: Now now.. I know you want him dead like me, but we should only make his life more painful now that he's back.. And speaking of, I wonder how Qi is doing with her end of the bargain."

(Inside the Dawn Kingdom was the entire kingdom within the walls on fire and nearly destroyed as it was revealed to have been attacked and lit to flames by Qi Sheng as Princess Kyilei was taken hostage and Imani Noki was nowhere to be found for she was defeated and seen falling into the depths of a deep trench created outside the Dawn Kingdom.)

"Qi Sheng (Race: Human (AWK) | True Bounty: $550,760,000,000 | 1 of 5's Militia's Most Feared Criminals): ...A pity. I really thought Imani would put up more of a fight... As for you, princess. I really hate to do this to my Yinlong... But he's the only man I will be dating, you're too undeserving of someone like him."
"Princess Kyilei: ..Nnngghh.. I-..Ima..ni.."
"Qi: ...You're a worthless princess. Its amazing that your kingdom lasted this long alive, too bad that you're the last surviving member of the Miyogata Clan though...-"

(With the sound of steel colliding with the bone, the winds were no longer blowing and the fires were cracking and spreading inside the walls of the Dawn Kingdom, nearly finishing its own destruction to the entire kingdom as only the final chilling words coming from Qi was heard.)

"Qi: -...And now you're not."
