Chapter 11:

The Book of Varkonian History

Blaze Borne


Majuro: Welcome! To The Torojima Family's Ancient Library of Magical Books!

Shinzo: [confused] huh? MAJURO!? Thank God! You teleported us here in time!

Majuro: Shinzo, You idiot! I told you both to go to Antarctica! Why are you here?!

Shinzo: wait... You didn't teleport us here?

Majuro: no. I didn't. Why would I?

Majuro sees badly injured Hiroshi. He gets tensed and Rushes to him.

Majuro: [tensed] oh no... What happened to him?

Shinzo: He fought Akuma and eventually won. But he is really injured. His chest has a big hole. Probably done by Akuma. His body is slowly freezing due to Akuma's ice powers. His heart, his veins, his blood. They are freezing due to the freezing powers of Akuma which surprisingly didn't go away even after Akuma died.

Majuro remembers something.

Majuro: static magic...

Shinzo: [confused] I'm sorry, what?

Majuro: it's called static magic. Akuma died. But his fragment of powers still resides with Hiroshi. And won't go away until Hiroshi does too. Hurry, pick him up with me.

Majuro and Shinzo both lift Hiroshi up. Majuro grabs his upper body, Shinzo grabs his legs.

Majuro replies in a hurry

Majuro: take him to that table, quick.

They rush Hiroshi to a nearby old table.

Majuro: go to the room which is down the hall. You'll find some medicines there on a shelf. Bring them all.

Shinzo: alright!

Shinzo rushes to the room.

He enters it to see that on a shelf, some leaves of Holy Basil (tusli/Ocimum tenuiflorum), a peat block, a charcoal piece, some raspberries, and a Vial filled with a hot blue liquid were kept.

He picked them all up and rushed to Majuro

Majuro stood there, touching the Ice covered Hole and examining it's temperature.

Majuro: goodness gracious! I've never seen such a powerful static magic before in my life!

Shinzo reaches Majuro.

Shinzo: Here. These were all I saw there.

He hands them to Majuro.

Majuro: Alright. That would just be enough.

Majuro opens a drawer and takes out a mortar and a pestle of stone.

Majuro: alright. So, five leaves of Basil, a small broken piece of peat, one charcoal piece and three raspberries would be fine.

He puts the basil leaves, breaks the peat block and puts a small piece, puts the charcoal and three raspberries. Then, he quickly makes a paste of it using the mortal and pestle.

A thick, green paste is made.

Majuro: And now, let's add this for the real magic.

Majuro opens the Vial. A surge of heat is released.

Shinzo breaks a sweat due to the heat.

He pours the Piping hot thick Blue liquid onto the paste.

The paste bubbles and slowly changes it's colour to blue and turns to a less thicker liquid.

A blue fume comes out from the paste.

Majuro takes the mortar and opens Hiroshi's mouth.

He pours the Liquid into Hiroshi's mouth and he drinks it.

Shinzo: whoa! What was that blue liquid?! It sure was hot!

Majuro: it was the blue lava of 'Kavah Ijen' volcano, in Indonesia. A special Volcano with a magical blue lava.

Shinzo: [tensed] WHAT?! YOU MADE HIROSHI DRINK LAVA!?

The hole in Hiroshi's Chest instantly starts to fill.

Majuro: stop complaining and see that.

Shinzo sees the miracle. He is stunned to see it.

Shinzo: [shocked] wha- uh- how- How did it happen!?

Majuro: what powers does Hiroshi have? Tell me.

Shinzo: Fire?

Majuro: exactly. He has power of Fire. So, more fire and heat doesn't hurt him. He can accommodate even more fire in him to get stronger. So, lava was one of our best options.

Shinzo: ohh! Good!

Majuro looks at Hiroshi carefully and notices something strange on his lefthand.

Majuro: [confused, eyes narrowing] wait... Is that what I'm thinking..?

Shinzo: What's what?

Majuro points to Hiroshi's left hand.

Shinzo looks at it to see a strange mark. A red mark, looking like a Horizontal 'S', with two dots in both it's curves.

Shinzo: [confused] what's that?!

Majuro: it's something I heard about before. Something even my father told me in a tale of Hiroshi. It's... The Sugokyo Mark.

Shinzo: Sugokyo Mark?!

Majuro: yes. The Sugokyo Mark. The giving of the Beast Gods Trio.

Shinzo: [confused] what?


Majuro: [sigh] there are three beast gods. Fenrir, Phoenix and Griffin.

"Fenrir is the gigantic Wolf god. 

He gave Hiroshi the powers of Fast Reflexes, Lightning Speed and Transformation. 

The S-shaped horizontal line represents Fenrir.

Phoenix is the Legendary Fire Bird.

She gave Hiroshi the powers of Fire and Regeneration.

The first dot between the first curve of this mark represents her.

Then, next is Griffin. The Half eagle-Half Lion Beast.

He gave Hiroshi the Powers of Rock solid body and super jumps.

The second dot in next curve of the mark represents him."

So, do you get it now?


Shinzo: Yes, I do.

Majuro takes a deep sigh.

Majuro: well, let Hiroshi relax now.

Majuro starts to go, Shinzo remembers something and stops him.

Shinzo: Wait! I remembered something. You were here to find the History of the cube. Did you find it?

Majuro slowly turns around

Majuro: do you think I was fooling around here?

Shinzo is silent.

Majuro stares at Shinzo.

Majuro: follow me.

Shinzo follows Majuro. They both go to a nearby room with a singular Lectern placed in the middle of it. near that lectern, the Yellow Portal cube was placed.

There was one bookshelf kept there. With many different coloured Ancient books with golden carvings in Japanese.

Majuro: this is the room where all the important ancient books are kept. Each and every book kept here are so important that even touching them is prohibited for a normal human. But for you, I'll make exceptions.

Shinzo: [grinning] thanks!

Majuro: the books were are looking for is titled as "Varkonian". Find the book with the word "Varkonian" engraved in Japanese by gold.

Shinzo freezes for a second.

Shinzo: uhh... I... Don't know japanese...

Majuro stares at him blankly, with calmness.

Majuro: [sigh] alright... Just... Sir here. Don't touch anything.

Shinzo: okay.

Majuro goes and look for a book.

After a while, He finds one. Green in colour, the name 'Varkonian' etched with gold in Japanese as ヴァルコニアン 

Majuro: found it!

Majuro tries to take and lift it, but it's too heavy.

Majuro: [straining] oh gosh it's too heavy.

Majuro takes the book and puts it on the lectern.

The book was big, but very thin.

Shinzo: [mockingly] this ain't even a proper book. And you call this heavy?

Majuro: [in a serious tone] each and every letter inside of it has been written by magical powers and not normal ink. I am not a strong mage. Only strong and great mages can lift such magical books with ease. Understand?

Shinzo: Chill! I was just kidding! just read out the book now.

Majuro: alright.

Majuro opens the book, and turns to a specific page.

Majuro: this is the exact page we want.

a sound of someone clicking a picture was heard. a small robotic bug took a picture of them.

Majuro: [confused] huh? what was that?

Shinzo: it was nothing! read it fast. I am eager!

Majuro: sure...

"Year 2177, we encountered a person from an extraterrestrial planet called 'Varkor'. A planet neither known by The humans, nor by the Mages.

That person has came to earth for a reason that is still unknown.

Here, he married a Human Woman in Hong Kong. The woman, unknown of his Husband's reality, loved him a lot.

That woman worshipped the Beast Gods Trio, Fenrir, Phoenix and Griffin.

One day, when she was pregnant, and was praying to the beast gods in a temple, they emerged out from their statues. Showing their true forms to the woman. She bowed and praised them in respect.

Pleased by the woman's devotion, they gave her some boons. Some for her, and some for her child.

She would never get sick, Nor would she ever age.

Her child would have the same powers.

he would be stronger than any average human. His powers will be superhuman. They will also provide him seven special powers, fragment of their own.

Phoenix gave him Fire and Regeneration.

Fenrir gave him agility, speed and a ferocious Transformation.

And Griffin gave him super strong, hard body and super-powerful jumps.

They also gave her two objects.

The 'Surokaya Pendant' and a Portal Cube.

The Pendant would provide Heat and intensify Her child's flames. The portal cube will allow them to travel wherever they want.

They said to give the Child a 'Sugokyo mark' when he will be able to upgrade his powers to a next level.

But there was a twist. The portal cube and the pendant will only activate when the child is born.

After giving these boons, the Beast Gods disappeared back into their statues. The woman was pleased.

But little did she know, that all of that conversation between the gods and that woman was overheard by the Varkonian Man.

His mind filled with greed.

One night, he stole the Cube and used a spaceship to escape back to his planet, Varkor. Leaving his wife and unborn child alone.

he prepared an Invasion on earth.

Then, the day came. 17th September, 2178. The woman gave birth to a boy, Hiroshi.

As soon as Hiroshi Soraya was born, the Surokaya Pendant shone bright, like a star.

Suddenly, the moment of joy turned to one of Horror. A loud, really loud boom was heard across the globe. It's epicenter being Tokyo.

An Intergalactic Rift had formed due to the tearing in the space-time fabric.

The Varkonians invaded. They came with big triangular spaceships, black in colour with a red glowing strip going through. Big laser turrets came from the spaceships. 

They Rained laser bullets.

In under half an hour, Tokyo was reduced to dust. The entire population of Tokyo vanished. As if it were never there.

Children cried as they were orphaned. Their cries were heard by Varkonian scouts. And the children were also terminated.

The Adult, The Elders, the Kids, even the newborns. None of them were spared. All of them, reduced to dead corpses.

A new system, a new rule was set up. Each country in the world had to be rules and fully controlled by people called 'Tyrants'. Super strong Varkonians. They were stronger than average Varkonians but had not special powers. There were such 195 tyrants.

At the time Hiroshi was 5, his mother died whilst trying to save him from a Varkonian Soldier's attack.

She threw Hiroshi in a River in order to save him. 

Fortunately, One of the Members of the Torojima family, Bajuro Torojima, found that child and took him under his supervision and trained him.

By the time Hiroshi was 18 years old, He had killed all the 195 tyrants and became a fearful figure amongst the Varkonians.

A new system was set up. Seven new Tyrants were appointed to rule each continent instead of a country. This time, the tyrants weren't just strong. But they had special powers.

During a mission, Hiroshi was captured and sealed away.

His fate was to be return after 200 years.

Bajuro Torojima managed to get hold of one of the Blaze Embers.

If, at any point in time, Hiroshi is released or has escaped, we, the Torojimas will give Him the Ember and guide him on his way to Earth's freedom.

Also, if Hiroshi, at some point, unlocks his Sugokyo Mark, a red Horizontal 'S' shaped mark, then we must help him awaken his powers.

In order for him to awaken his powers, he must-"

Majuro stops reading.

Shinzo: [confused] wha- what happened? Why'd you stop?

Majuro shows him the next pages, which are torn.

Majuro: the pages... They are torn...

Shinzo: huh? How!?

Majuro: that's a question I myself don't know the answer to.

Majuro takes a deep breath.

Shinzo: leaving that aside, this books states that... Hiroshi... Is a Varkonian..?

Majuro: well... Not exactly a Varkonian. He is Half-Human and Half-Varkonian.

Shinzo: wait... The... The cube... The pendant... The arrival of Varkonians... It's all linked together! And... The common link is...

Majuro completes the sentence.

Majuro: Hiroshi. Exactly.

Shinzo: so... Does this mean that... It's Hiroshi who caused all this?!

Majuro: don't be a fool! Hiroshi wasn't even born when the beast gods gave the boon. The boons were given for the Protection and Betterment of Humanity. But that darn Varkonian stole Hiroshi's fate and changed it all.

Shinzo: oh...

Majuro looks in Shinzo's eyes with seriousness.

Majuro: see. No matter what happens. Hiroshi must never know who he truly is. If he ever does, the consequences will be dangerous. And I am not joking. Understood?

Shinzo: yeah...

Majuro: that's good.

Shinzo: but hey. Hiroshi had the Surokaya pendant since the start... But we had bought it from a local vendor in Antarctica...

Majuro: what?!

Shinzo: yeah... So... Did Hiroshi ever lost his Pendant?

Majuro: I don't know...

Shinzo: [sigh] well, i guess that we would have to wait till Hiroshi wakes up. Until, many questions will be left unanswered.

Majuro again looks at him.

Majuro: during the questioning, I will be with you. Don't you dare even accidentally reveal His identity in front of him.

Shinzo: okay. Deal.
