Chapter 7:

Chapter 7: A Trip To An Unknown Realm?

Project: INFERNO


(Two years later, Sawano was sitting on a cliff in the mountains outside the city with a dark change to his appearance.)
-Flashback-
(Sawano walked towards the destroyed school gates and Akari stopped then slapped him, Tsuka and the rest remained silent with shock in their eyes.)
"Akari: You.. BASTARD... You're the son of THE most dangerous monster across the world...
(Sawano stood there in silence.)
"MY FAMILY.. MY FRIENDS.. MY HOME.. ITS ALL GONE BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR FATHER...! YOU TWO TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME! I DESPISE ANYONE WHO'S RELATED TO THAT MONSTER..."
"Dalton(Thinking): Akari..."
"Akari: I don't want to see you anymore.. I don't want to hear from you... I DON'T EVER WANT YOU ANYWHERE NEAR US AGAIN...!"
"Sawano: ...Guys..?"
(Everyone remained silent, even Akira.)
"Sawano: ....."
(He began to turn back around and leave the school.)
-Present-
"Sawano(Thinking): Ever since that day, I left the school on my terms and never went or even looked back...."
"I was called a liar, a fake.. Even a monster on what I did to half of Hakodate. I was right.. I deserve to be alone."
-Two years ago, same day of the incident-
(Back at the academy, the school was closed for reconstruction as everyone was regrouped in the main hall with silence.)

"Botan: You didn't have to go hard on him.."
"Akari: He deserved it.."
"Akira: THAT GAVE YOU NO REASON TO HURT HIM LIKE THAT!"
"Akari: HE'S THE SON OF ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS MONSTER IN THIS WORLD! HE DESERVED IT MORE THAN EVER!"
"Dalton: SO WHAT..? HE'S STILL ONE OF US-"
"Akari: HE WAS NEVER ONE OF US.. I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS FRIENDS WITH.. THE SON OF A MONSTER.."
"Crystalline: EVEN IF HE IS THE SON OF KIRBY MAGACHI, HE DIDN'T DESERVE MUCH MORE PAIN. THAT KID HAS GONE THROUGH TOO MUCH!"
"Fredrick: As much as I hate to say it, Crystalline's right. That child single-handedly saved us with just his power and all we did was sit back and watch."
"Chimon: Monster or not, Sawano has my praise."
"Konnor: Akari, everyone here is right. If Sawano wasn't there to help us in that fight, we would've all been dead right now!"
"Akari: WE COULD'VE HANDLED EVERYTHING! WE DIDN'T NEED THAT MONSTER..!"
"Tsuka: WOULD YOU ALL SHUT THE HELL UP..?!!"
(Everyone went back into silence as Tsuka stepped up.)

"Tsuka: Its wrong.. I know its wrong to remove him from the school.. We should all be grateful he even saved us! We'd all be dead right now and who knows when they'll be back."
(They all began to rethink.)
"Akira: Sawano and I known each other since we was kids. This isn't the first time something like this happened to him."
(They looked at Akira with confused/curious looks.)
"Edea: What happened to him back then..?"
"Akira: A few years ago, when Sawano was seven. He was often teased a lot and was ganged up on in fights. One on twos, threes, fours and so on. Over every time Sawano gets beaten, he declines help and trains hard on his own. But one day, his whole power was stored up and he hunted down every kid that bullied him one by one... and killed them."
(Angel's face gave a shocked look as she did not expect the response.)
"Konnor: What happened then?"
"Akira: Ever since that day, he sat in silence alone. But what we saw today was nothing. That beast inside him is going to evolve again. And again, AND AGAIN. Then once it reaches its true power, Sawano will be more than a negative threat. He'll be a massive threat to the entire universe. Possibly, the whole dimension."
"Golden Clover: But we saw him regain control of his beast, isn't that a good thing?"
"Akira: Yes. But if Sawano switches sides, he'll wipe us out without any sweat."

-Present-
(Sawano walked down from the mountains into the city then he hid his face as he entered the busy streets.)
(He passes by the academy, seeing Akari, Tsuka and Dalton talking with one another then quickly runs off to avoid being seen as he's filled with anger.)
"Sawano: Hm..?"
(He walks past an empty lot and walks back to it then instantly builds his home.)
"Sawano: Not that good.. But it'll do."
(He goes in his new, modern designed home and goes to his dark room and stares into the ceiling.)
"Sawano: So. What now..?"
(A while later, he wakes up from his nap and heads outside for a walk and looked up at the large TV at the news tower.)
"News Anchorman: After two grueling years of hard work, Hakodate has finally been finished with reconstruction and is now reopened to civilians as students are officially returning to Saikan academy which was the only school damaged in the chaos. But what has been a widespread rumor now a proven truth: Saikan Academy student, Sawano has recently revealed himself as a spawn to the Magachi branch, also known as the family of the most dangerous beings and monsters. Several eyewitnesses has seen Sawano with the description of black, flaming wings, red eyes and black veins. According to the Elemental High-Commission based on what happened, Sawano has been classified as a negative ten star threat. It should be wise for all civilians to avoid him by any means necessary."
(Sawano began to bleed from his hands as he clenches them tight after hearing the story.)
"Kiri: Excuse me..?"

(Sawano turned around with his hoodie tightened and was surprised as the same goes for Kiri.)
"Kiri: Sawano..?"
"Sawano: Kiri..?"
(After meeting one another once again, they decided eat at a close diner.)
"Kiri: So that's what happened.. I'm sorry this happened to you Sawano."
"Sawano: Its fine. This isn't pretty much my first time this happened."
"Kiri: I see..."
"Sawano: Did you get into a school recently?"
"Kiri: Honestly.. I didn't like the choices. I wanted to go to the academy you made it into."
"Sawano: R-really..?"
"Kiri: Yeah.. to be honest, you're one of the people who I can feel free around."
"Sawano: Wow.. thanks.. Kiri. But now I'm out of Saikan Academy. The headmaster and the school board decided on it. So now, I live in the outskirts of the city."
"Kiri: Wow.. I mean. If you want I can let you live with me."
(Sawano gasped a bit after being offered.)
"Sawano: I really appreciate it Kiri, but..."
(Kiri looked at Sawano with a smile on her face.)

"Sawano: Well.. I want to but I'm not sure if your parents will accept me."
"Kiri: I accept you!"
(They both smiled at one another.)
"Sawano: Wow you really are generous.."
"Kiri: I'm your friend Sawano, its what friends do!"
(He gasped after hearing those words and felt a little brightened.)
"Sawano: But, everyone fears me since I'm Kirby's son."
"Kiri: Might be true, but I don't care! Human or not, you are still my friend Sawano!"
(Sawano was silent for a moment and hugged Kiri as he thanked her.)
"Sawano: Thank you..."
"Kiri: Anytime.. Sawano.."
(She held his hands then gasped then backs up quickly as she became embarrassed.)
"Sawano: Well.. t-thanks again.. I'm gonna go.. Its getting late.."
"Kiri: S-Same..! I'll talk to you later..!"
(Both of them left a while later.)
"Sawano: What was that...?"
"Kiri: Why did I act like that..?"

(The next day, Sawano walked into an alleyway which was a rouge gang's territory.)
"Gang member: Whoa whoa whoa, where do you think you're going..?"
(The other members surrounded him.)
"Gang member #2: There's a little fee for coming on our turf. That'll be.. Everything you got in those pockets."
"Sawano: Hm..? Very well."
(As Sawano reached into his pockets, he jumped and kicks one of the members into a dumpster.)
"Gang Member #3: Hey! You're gonna pay for that!"
(Sawano kept fighting off the gang without his hands but ends up getting cut on his arm.)
"Sawano: GAH.."
(He kneeled and held his arm but was leaking black blood.)
"Gang member: Wait.. b-black blood..? Are you even human..?"
"Sawano: ...."
(He grabbed onto his sleeve, and ripped it off, his entire right arm blacker than charcoal with his veins pulsing loudly as the gang members backed up in fear.)
"Gang Member: WHOAA.. WHAT THE- WHAT ARE YOU..?!?
(Sawano smirked and slowly walked towards them.)
"Sawano: I'm the guy who's going to enjoy a decent meal.. BON APPETIT TO ME!"

(The gang members screamed as they was being eaten alive.)
(Blood was splattered everywhere and all that was left was their skulls. After so, Sawano licked the blood off his face and began walking away.)
"Sawano: Quite a satisfying taste.."
(He gasped for a moment and slammed himself into the wall and slid down to the ground then he held his head.)
"Sawano: What's happening to me...? No.. I ate human beings..."
(A few hours later, Sawano was calmed down and sat down in a pub after cleaning himself up.)
"Barkeeper: What will it be sir?"
"Sawano: Just slide me a beer, please."
"Barkeeper: Coming up!"
(He'd slide him a cold beer.)
(Sawano drinks the beer and thinks about what happened earlier today.)
(Alarms was going off on the TV's and in the city, alerting the civilians about an civil announcement.)
"City P.A System: WARNING, This is an evacuation alert! A rampaging army of monsters has appeared in the area. This is a negative eight star alert, civilians are ordered to evacuate quickly and safely."
"Barkeeper: You heard her! We need to evacuate!"
(As the pub closes and the innocents ran for their lives, Sawano walked outside and walked the opposite direction and went to the monsters.)

"Monster: Who's that?"
(Sawano kept walking towards them.)
"Monster #2: A free dinner! LETS KILL HIM!"
"Leader: HALT."
(The leader walked towards the front and gasped.)
"Monster: What's wrong boss?"
"Leader: This is the one.. This is who the empress ordered us to bring."
"Sawano(Thinking): Again with this..?"
"Monster #3: NO WAY REALLY? THAT SHRIMP?"
"Chloe: Allow me to introduce myself, I am one of the wardens in the order. My name is Chloe Kazagi and our empress demands of you to be with us."
"Sawano: Yeah.. not interested. Piss off."
"Chloe: Well, if that's how its gonna be.. Bring him back with a broken arm or two, same for his legs or just kill him!"
(The monsters growled and ran towards him.)
"Sawano: ....Chained Vortex."
(The monster stopped in confusion but then hears skin tearing out of Sawano's back then he smirks devilishly.)
"Chloe: Huh...?"

(A massive wave and infinite counts of chains are blasted from Sawano's back and aimed at the monsters then stabs every monster numerous times as Chloe stood there, terrified.)
(He walked slowly towards her.)
"Sawano: What you're seeing here is my special ability that is rarely seen.. Chained Vortex. This special move gifts me infinite numbers of chains with a special poison I'd like to call: "Ashes From Hell." Allow me to go step by step on what they do... One: Once the target is stabbed, the ashes from my chains will rush quickly inside your body. Two: They will wrap around every single major organ, including your brain and lock tighter than a steel vault door. Three: They will slowly tighten around those organs and turn your skin paler than a ghost. Four: At the clap of my hands, all your major organs will explode. And finally five: There IS NO CURE.."
(Chloe and held a teleporter then Sawano clapped his hands as the major organs was exploding inside the monsters.)
"Chloe: YOU'RE WORSE THAN A MONSTER.. YOU'RE A DEMON!!"
"Sawano: Nah... I'm A monster. Not no ordinary monster, I am THE MONSTER."
(Black lightning suddenly struck down around Sawano.)
"Understand this, there is no one strong enough to surpass me. I will eliminate all who stands in my path."
(A portal opened up and Sawano goes through it then the portal would slam shut and the sky returns to its sunny day.)
(He'd land at the end of the portal but ends up in a different civilized realm.)
"Sawano: Huh...? What the...? The hell is this place..?"
