Chapter 7:
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
To be continued...
