Chapter 7:

Rebel Army HQ, A New Companion.

Blaze Borne


Hiroshi walks off through the crowd

Cheers echo behind him

Everyone:- LONG LIVE HIROSHI! LONG LIVE HIROSHI!

Hiroshi walks out from the ring to reach Majuro's Hut 

The Door Is open

Hiroshi enters inside

He closes the door

Hiroshi:- hey, Majuro! I'm back.

Majuro turns on the lights

Majuro is sitting on a chair

An empty chair is kept besides him

Majuro:- Oh. I see. You defeated Riyaku. Well, that's only the first step. There are 6 more to go.

Majuro notices slight tear on Hiroshi's Black Shirt

Majuro:- wait... These clothes are made to regenerate fast enough. But there is still a tear. What happened!?

Hiroshi:- my... Uh... Chest... It got punctured...

Majuro:- WHAT!? WHY ARE YOU STANDING SO STILL! YOU SHOULD BE GETTING A TREATMENT FROM A DOCTOR! Come with me! I'll take you to my grandson, Krooke. He is a doctor. Quick!

Hiroshi:- heyyyy... Relax. It's not such a big deal. It's not that big of a hole. I can manage. Also, my healing factor is not completely gone, remember? I can still heal. The hole is now closed. When I got my fire powers, they burnt the poison that was given to me. So I'm safe. For now... But wait... You mentioned your grandson. Where is he?

Majuro stands up from his chair and goes to the kitchen cook top

Hiroshi sits on the empty chair

He goes to the coffee machine

Majuro:- my grandson... He is around your age as well. His father and mother... Both passed away. I sent him to a family friend of mine to practice and hone his skills. But that's not important for now.

He adds milk and coffee powder to the machine

Majuro:- coffee?

Hiroshi:- [jokingly] sure! I'm craving coffee for the last two centuries.

Hiroshi chuckles a bit

Majuro:- was that a joke?

Hiroshi:- no, I meant it literally...

Majuro:- I would've killed you if that was a joke.

He makes the coffee and pours it in two red cups

Majuro:- here.

Majuro hands him the coffee cup

Majuro:- Take rest for a few hours. I'll tell you when to go for the next ring.

Hiroshi takes the coffee cup

Hiroshi:- Alright.

They both sit relaxed, sipping their coffees

Hiroshi still thinks of Riyaku

Hiroshi:- [in mind] he was the weakest tyrant... Still, the strongest I've personally fought. That means the other tyrants are going to be hell to fight...

He finishes his coffee, keeps the cup on the table, tilts his head up and sits on his chair relaxed with his eyes closed

Hiroshi is still relaxing. Majuro sits besides him, admiring his strength

Majuro:- [in mind] I can't believe he is finally back after all these years. The mission of my family will finally be completed... His strength would not be enough for the tyrants. I would have to train Hiroshi.

[An Hour Later]

Footsteps approach the house

Majuro stands up, alerted

Majuro:- [cautiously] who's there?

A man talks from outside

Man 1:- it's us! From the Rebel Army. We're here to meet Sir Hiroshi.

Hiroshi stands up and opens the door

Hiroshi:- hello guys, what brings you here?

Man 1:- we are here to take you to the Rebel Army Headquarters.

Hiroshi:- uhh... I'm sorry to say this but.. uh... I can't... I have to go to the next ring when Majuro says.

Majuro keeps his hand on Hiroshi's shoulder

Majuro:- he will go.

Hiroshi stutters

Hiroshi:- [stuttering] huh!? Wha- uh- like- umm-

Hiroshi:- [whispers to Majuro] but I have to go to the next ring, right?

Majuro:- I know you have to. But going there would be good. You can meet Shinzo. Krimson's Great Great Great Grandson.

Hiroshi:- ohh. That guy. Uhh... Sure then. I'd go with you guys.

Man 1:- [energised] excellent! Let's go, sir! Follow us!

All the HRA men walk together. Hiroshi follows.

Majuro waves goodbye, then closes the door

The HRA people and Hiroshi walk for long

[after half an hour]

they reach a big forest

Hiroshi:- [shocked] HUH!? A forest in the middle of a desert!?

Man 1:- we planted these trees here. The middle part of this desert is an entire lush jungle. We have to go to the centre of this jungle to reach a mountain.

Hiroshi:- [sigh] alright...

They all start walking in the jungle

[An hour later]

They all reach a small mountain from which, a waterfall is flowing into a beautiful pond

Hiroshi looks at the beautiful mountain in awe

Man 1:- we're here.

Hiroshi:- so... Where is the Headquarter?

Man 2:- right in front of you.

Hiroshi looks at the mountain and notices nothing but a big boulder

Hiroshi:- where??

Man 1:- let me show you.

The man lifts his hand closer to his face and taps on his smartwatch

Man 1:- Open the gates.

A guard speaks from the watch

Guard:- whom are we expecting?

Man 1:- the Alpha Wolves, and a special guest.

The big boulder moves

Air hisses

A passage with futuristic insides open

Man 1:- welcome to our Headquarters, Sir Hiroshi.

Hiroshi watches the scene in awe

Hiroshi:- that's so cool!

Man 1:- there are a lot of things you haven't seen. Let's go.

They all walk inside

All the armymen and guards smile and wave to see them all return

The smiles turn into shock as they all see Hiroshi enter

Shinzo approaches to greet the Alpha Wolves

Shinzo:- Alpha Wolves! My best regiment! Welcome back! Who's the special guest that came?

Shinzo peeks behind them to see Hiroshi

Shinzo:- [shocked] that man! That's a Varkonian! Why have you brought him here!?

Shinzo rushes to a nearby armyman, grabs his gun and points at Hiroshi's head

Man 1:- DON'T SHOOT! HE IS-

BANG!

Shinzo shoots a bullet aiming straight for Hiroshi's Head

Hiroshi:- Flame wall!

Hiroshi quickly stomps on the ground and a wall of Orange flames appear

The bullet is melted before reaching Hiroshi

The is silence for a bit

Man 1:- this new visitor we took with us... Is none other than... Hiroshi!

Shinzo and all the other guards and Armymen bow down

Shinzo:- I am really sorry... I didn't knew that it was you... I'm sorry for my behaviour.

Hiroshi approaches Shinzo

Shinzo stands up

Hiroshi extends his arm, as if to slap Shinzo hard, but instead, he pats on his back

Shinzo:- huh?

Hiroshi:- you showed bravery. You went for the head when you thought I am a Varkonian. That's exactly the ideology I want in everyone who is here. Slay all Varkonians.

In such a tense environment, Hiroshi delivered a motivational speech. All the armymen's hearts filled with bravery, their eyes sparked rebellion and flames

Hiroshi:- if we all are together, Varkonians are crushed.

All the people clap and cheer

Shinzo:- Sir, it's not the perfect time, but we have to kill Riyaku.

Man 1:- why kill a person who is already dead?

Shinzo:- [confused] what do you mean?

Hiroshi:- he means that Riyaku is already dead. I killed him a few hours ago.

Shinzo:- Oh... Sir, I am really grateful that you returned...

Hiroshi:- hey. Don't call me 'sir'. I am no older than you in age. Just call me Hiroshi.

Shinzo's eyes spark with flames as he looks up in Hiroshi's eyes

Shinzo:- sorry sir... But it's wierd to call a legend, who's stories you've read by his name...

Hiroshi:- legend? I am no legend. Did you guys ever call Technoblade as 'sir' or 'lord'? No, right? Still, He IS a legend!

Shinzo:- alright.... Hiroshi.

Hiroshi:- [sigh of relief] that's more like it. Well, I can't stay here for long. I just came to see the stuff going on here. And...

Hiroshi looks at their weapons. Plasma blasters, laser guns, grenades, nets, turrets, tanks, good white and blue armors

Hiroshi:- everyone seems so prepared. Now, I've got to go. To the next ring.

Shinzo:- that's alright... Open the gates.

Shinzo clasps his fists

The boulder moves, the gates open again

Hiroshi starts to walk away

There is silence as he leaves

Suddenly, the silence breaks

Shinzo:- WAIT!

Hiroshi stops. He looks back

Shinzo:- take me with you.

Hiroshi:- I can't. Who will take care of the army? Krimson gave you a purpose to live for.

Shinzo:- I have a brother. Shunjo. He is the one who usually takes care here. I do less work here. Mainly patrolling. Please... Take me with you...

Hiroshi:- but...

Shinzo falls to his feet

Shinzo:- please. Just give me a chance to prove myself. Please...

Hiroshi:- alright... You can come.

Shinzo's face sparks with joy. He rushes back inside to a room

Hiroshi:- huh? Where did he go?

Shinzo rushes out with a backpack

Hiroshi:- now, what is this for?

Shinzo:- I keep my gadjets and weapons in it.

Hiroshi:- [sigh] Alright... Let's go.

Hiroshi starts walking away

The boulder goes back to its place, the door closes

Shinzo:- wait, we can use my teleporter!

Hiroshi:- teleporter?

Shinzo searches his back and takes out a grey-ish cube

Shinzo:- it's currently inactive. To activate it, we must-

Hiroshi completes the line

Hiroshi:- give it a power surge so huge that it's enought to fuel the whole planet for a 100 years.

Shinzo is shocked

Shinzo:- E- Ex- Exactly... How'd you know that?

Hiroshi:- it was used by Krimson. He used to call it as the 'travelling box'.

Shinzo:- oh... Yeah... I remember that this was handed down to me by my father. And their his father gave it to him.

Hiroshi:- yeah... Well, I can power it up.

Hiroshi extends his hand forward

A small transparent spherical pocket space is created

Flames fill inside of it

The sphere is filled with fire and starts to vibrate from the energy

Hiroshi uses his dagger to slightly tear a small hole on it's surface

A ray of energy blasts from the sphere to the cube

Immense heat is radiated

The cube turns from Grey to Green

Shinzo:- that's the colour we need.

Hiroshi stops

The cube starts vibrating, it starts turning slightly yellow

It slowly turns fully yellow

Shinzo:- [shocked] YELLOW!? That's a new colour!

Hiroshi:- I gave it too much energy...

Shinzo:- how much!?

Hiroshi:- an energy so large that a supernova seems like a firecracker in front of...

Shinzo:- WHAT!? SO IMMENSE ENERGY!? HOW IS THIS ENTIRE PLACE NOT EVAPORATED!? HOW IS THIS CUBE STILL INTACT!? HOW DID YOU GET SO MUCH ENERGY!?

Hiroshi:- I created a mini pocket space before infusing energy. Inside that pocket space, there is infinite space. And, time moves a billion times slower there. So a billion seconds there are one second here. This allows my powers to do nuclear fission and go supernova in a small amount of time. I poked a small hole. Which caused the release of the energy in a straight path directly in the cube. And the cube... Absorbed it...

Shinzo:- damn!

Hiroshi picks up the cube

Hiroshi:- the teleportation range of this cube has increased. We can travel anywhere we want now. It's range is beyond the solar system. Sun, neptune, Pluto, we can go anywhere.

Shinzo:- wanna go for a space trip?

Hiroshi:- I'd stick to the main course.

They both chuckle a bit

Hiroshi:- well, now?

Shinzo:- just hold it firmly and thinks of the place.

Hiroshi grabs the cube firmly and thinks of Majuro's Hut

The cube channels energy which turns blue

An oval shaped blue portal with grey-purple dusty aura is created

They both go in
