Chapter 32: An Urgent Situation!

(Sawano later on boarded a plane to Tokyo after leaving Hakodate. After so, he closed his eyes and remembered what happened after the fight.)
-Aftermath-
"Nydia: So what are you going to do with the specters now..?"
"Kira: Kira might have a solution."
"Ares: Well whatever that solution is, hopefully we can turn these poor ones back to normal."
"Kira: Just let her work."
(She held a sealed scroll and peeled the words off of the paper which floated above her then her eyes glowed yellow then took a deep breath.)
"Give these poor souls a second chance at life.. I summon you, God of Rebirth! Your permission to resurrect these kind souls!"
(A light shines down on Kira as a voice was heard in the clouds.)
"Voice: Kira O'Dachi, your voice has been heard. I will grant you your request on the condition, that this is the final time they shall be resurrected."
"Kira: Kira understands the laws and she'll humbly accept punishment in the future."
"Voice: Very well. Send these souls back to their bodies, REBIRTH!"
(Every specter in the area would glow and the light scattered as they was gifted with another chance of life. A few seconds later, the specters would return to their human life as they all cheered and reunited with their loved ones.)
"Nightwave: Master Hyoko, are you alright..?"
"Hyoko: Don't underestimate me Nightwave, after all us assassins still got it!"
(They all laughed in agreement as Angel ran towards Ash.)
"Angel: Ash!"
"Ash: Angel! Hey!"
"Angel: How are you feeling?"
"Ash: I'm better now that you're ok."
(She blushed in response and hid her face.)
"Angel: R-really..?"

(They continued talking as Gaito looked around and saw everyone reunited with their loved ones as he remained silent and his arm was hugged which made him look at his resurrected sister and was hugged by his parents.)
"Masunashi: Little brother... its good to see you again.."
"Both: After so long..."
(Gaito said nothing as Sawano walked towards them.)
"Sawano: Gaito-"
"Gaito: Go away."
"Sawano: Huh?"
"Gaito: I said beat it. I've already got one of the things I needed back and I don't want to lose it again, so go."
"Sawano: What are you talking about..?"
"Gaito: You wouldn't understand, this is something a someone like YOU would never get."
"Sawano: Gaito, what's going on-"
(He slapped Sawano's hand away from him and was angered.)
"Gaito: I SAID GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME, YOU DAMNED HALF-BREED!"
(Everyone overheard Gaito and looked at both Sawano and Gaito as he said nothing from what Gaito called him. He walked away as Masunashi looked at Sawano.)
"Masunashi: I'm sorry... He's a little upset about the truth, he didn't take it well. Anyway, Me, my mother and father thanks you for watching Gaito for us."
"Sawano: What do you mean the truth...?"
"Masunashi: I unfortunately cannot say... That's a story for another time. Sorry..!"
(She ran off to catch up with them as he remained silent the whole time which everyone was concerned about Gaito.)
-Present-

"Sawano(Thinking): What is even up with him..? Eh.. me and him haven't even talked ever since that moment, I'll just give him his space."
(An hour later, Sawano got off the plane after arriving in Tokyo and then was surrounded by the media and flashing cameras as interviewers asked questions then came security trying to give Sawano space.)
"(Aloud): Whoa whoa whoa! I'm sorry, but I'm in a rush!"
(The security continued to keep Sawano safe then came a wave of fans begging for autographs and Sawano walked and signed them all then quickly got inside the limousine that will escort him to the office.)
"Chauffeur: Mister Sawano! The prime minister is expecting you today in Tokyo, would you like some music while I take you to there?"
"Sawano: Actually, yes please."
(Classical music was played as the chauffeur escorted Sawano to the prime minister's office. A while later, Sawano left the limousine and tipped the chauffeur then went inside and checked in at the main lobby then sat and waited to be called up. A while later, Sawano entered the prime minister's office with a few individuals from different countries.)
"Prime Minister: Sawano! I'm glad you was able to make it!"
"Sawano: Well, its the prime minister's request so I can't refuse that."
"Canadian Prime Minister: So you must be Japan's hero, Sawano Magachi! Pleased to make your acquaintance."
"Sawano: Wait, you're Canada's minister aren't you?!"
"Hayden: That's right! Hayden Morrow is my name, my country actually admires you and thanks you the countless times you've saved this universe from certain death!"

(He blushed from embarrassment.)
"Sawano: B-but I didn't do it alone..! I had some help, without them I wouldn't have saved everyone!"
"German Minister: Hmph, alone Germany displeases you. But I just have one question surely you'd answer, ja?
"Sawano: Uh.. sure..?"
"German Minister: Tell me, how is it at such excruciating heat is your jacket still in pact?"
(He'd now realize it the entire time which had the others curious.)
"Sawano: Actually... I don't know either."
"United States President: If I'm not wrong, it seems your jacket is made of some type of special part of leather. Like something spiritual is protecting it from being harmed but when cut through, it repairs itself."
"United Kingdom Prime Minister: Shimmer down love, there's no need to crowd him! He just arrived too after all!"
"Japan Prime Minister: She's right. If we all can be seated we can begin this."
(They all took a seat and focused on the minister.)
"Baisho: Alright, no need for further formalities. My name is Baisho Kensaku and as everyone here knows, I am Japan's prime minister. Sawano, you've met Canadian prime minister, Hayden Morrow. On your left is the president of the United States, Preston Saunders. Your right is Russia's president, Suvorkin Marka Andreevich. Over here we have Germany's leader, Anna Prochnow and the United Kingdom's president, Madeline Hall. And everyone, this is Sawano."
(Suvorkin was silent as she stared at Sawano.)

"Now, we all are aware of the agreement?"
"Everyone: Yes!"
"Hayden: Should we inform Sawano on the current plan we've had?"
"Baisho: Of course, we should! Sawano in the next two months, we all have very challenging fighters but there can only be one true group of fighters. So, we're having the very first Intercontinental Elemental Tournament!"
"Sawano: How does that work?"
"Preston: It goes like this. There are six countries accompanied with TEN competing fighters. And it will actually become elimination rounds."
"Sawano: Wait a minute, six countries and ten competitors!? That's sixty fighters!"
"Madeline: Of course! Yet with the best cause of action, we've decided to make it a battle royale for further excitement!"
"Anna: Tch.. I was against that Idea..."
"Baisho: Now now, so Sawano. The reason I brought you here with the other leaders of their countries is because, we've all decided on you to be the leading man for Japan's team!"
(They all nodded in agreement.)
"Hayden: For such a powerful asset, you'd be a worthy fighter on the field!"
"Sawano: Why me?"
"Madeline: Most of my fighters has been dying to see you in person and truly see your strength. It has been quite my wish to see you at one hundred percent as well!"
"Anna: To understand how strong you really are, Germany has wondered that ourselves. We demand you be on battlefield and fight!"
"Sawano: Well..."
"Preston: Of course, it would all depend on you Sawano."
"Baisho: We're all not pressuring you, if you want to fight, then sign the documents. If not, then we will accept that!"
"Sawano: Then... I'll do it! I'll fight for Japan-"

(An echoing heartbeat was heard which made Sawano back up in pain then collapse, squirming and screaming as the others quickly got up to him and was shocked/feared.)
"Baisho: GET AN AMBULANCE DOWN HERE! NOW!"
(One of the staff manages to call for paramedics while Sawano's screaming was heard across the halls. Meanwhile back in Hakodate, Okisaki was laying on the floor with Kazuya as they both stared at the ceiling of the dojo.)
"Okisaki: Hey Kazuya. Do you ever look into the ceiling and talk to yourself sometimes but its something gibberish?"
(Kazuya speaks in baby talk.)
"Oh right.. you're a baby, baby's can't talk yet.."
"Kazuya(Thinking): Ehh.. sometimes I do."
(The door slid open as Xiazress returned with Alesander.)
"Xiazress: We're back."
"Okisaki: How's Saikan Academy?"
"Alesander: Well, its actually no longer a regular high school. With new students coming in from almost all races in the world, its actually doing last minute reconstruction for the academy."
"Okisaki: Oh that's nice."
"Alesander: Where's Sawano?"
"Okisaki: Tokyo, the prime minister called for him. Actually strange, why haven't we heard back from him?"
"Xiazress: Probably just an important meeting is still going on."
(Okisaki got up and held Kazuya.)
"Okisaki: Maybe so. Well, I hope he's ok."
(Sawano's emergency contact phone was ringing as Xiazress quickly ran to get the phone.)
"Xiazress(Phone): Hello?"
"Sumizaki(Phone): Oh hi, Xiazress!"
"Xiazress(Phone): Sumizaki! I didn't know you was calling!"
"Sumizaki(Phone): I didn't know you was at his dojo! Either way umm, we need Okisaki to come down to the school for an announcement..! You can come down as well if you want to!"
"Xiazress(Phone): Of course, we'll be there soon!"
(She hung up the phone and grabbed her jacket after leaving the room.)

"Alesander: Where you're going now?"
"Xiazress: Saikan Academy, apparently we're needed for an announcement."
"Okisaki: I'm needed down there too?"
"Xiazress: Yeah, hopefully it won't be long. Dad, can you stay and watch Kazuya again?"
"Alesander: Of course, I enjoy spending time with the little one!"
(As Xiazress and Okisaki left the dojo, Alesander stood behind and watched Kazuya. A while later, they made it to the academy and saw the entire area become a college campus then entered the elemental division's building and sat down for the meeting and is familiar with a few different fighters from before.)
"Chimon: Alright everyone, its time to get this meeting underway."
(He laid the files on the table and looked at everyone with a menacing stare.)
"Not long ago, Sawano left for Tokyo to attend a meeting with the prime minister. I have a few things I need to publicly announce. One, In the next two months, from what I'm told will be an Intercontinental Elemental Tournament."
(The fighters was confused as some was excited.)
"How this battle will work is this, there will be five different countries fighting against Japan. From what the file gave me, we're up against Russia, Germany, United Kingdom, Canada and the United States."
(Everyone gasped in surprise.)
"Jogeta: The United States..? Those guys have tough fighters down there."
"Ethereal: Knowing how strong those guys are, I honestly believe Germany has powerful elementals in their country!"
"Vanguard Wind: So in truth, we're fighting the top five strongest countries based on elemental power in a tournament? I don't see the fun in this."
"Chimon: Secondly, we'll need TEN representors for Japan. Knowing that we all have two months to decide is how much time we have to decide our ten competitors."
(Everyone murmured about the tournament.)
"Third, Sawano is not competing in this tournament for he has collapsed a few moments ago."
(Xiazress and Okisaki gasped in disbelief to hear the word.)
"Sawano's condition has unfortunately worsened. And it sounded like the symptoms he was infected with when he was fourteen. So its possible... the worse has returned."

(Okisaki and Xiazress in a flash remembered Sawano's black poison which killed him the first time before.)
"Xiazress: If its what we saw when he dealt with The Order Of Encursed Elements..."
"Okisaki: It can't be happening.."
"Angel: If that's the case..."
"Chimon: And finally, there's a distinct possibility Sawano's going to die again."
"Everyone: WHAT!?"
"Chimon: Unfortunately, its true. What we picked up is something very deep and its STRICTLY forbidden to ever be revealed. But listen, even though Sawano cannot fight, he still wishes to see Japan win. He's at a nearby hospital as we speak in Tokyo. But everyone, time is at the essence.."
(Everyone looked at Chimon with worried looks.)
"We all must train our hearts out. Until then, I'm disbanding the elemental division for now, feel free to train with whoever you want or do whatever you want. I will remain back here, teaching the next generation of fighters. With that said, I want all of you to get stronger before the two months are up, time's ticking! Kira, you're needed for your creation element. Other creation elementals are gathered up and ready to lead when you're ready."
"Kira: Kira shall make the best arena possible!"
(She quickly left the room to meet up with the rest.)
"Chimon: As for you all.."
(He smiled and gave a thumbs up.)
"Good luck!"
(As everyone began to leave the division's building, Okisaki stopped and looked in the sky and raised her hand into the air.)
"Okisaki(Thinking): Brother.. Its possible, the poison is coming back.. Your Anti-God power isn't truly severed. I swear to you, I will get stronger..! And I will come to you and say at the end of that tournament... We've won!"
(She joined up with the rest as Chimon looked out the window with a smile still.)
"Chimon: Those guys will be fine, they've been through thick and thin and this time, we'll win without fail! Make not just me proud..."
(He walked away and stopped at the door.)
"Make me, the prime minister and the ENTIRE country proud..!"
(He walked through the doors as they closed on their own and Chimon's axes was left in the shining sun on a cold, fall evening.)
