Chapter 44: Magachi & Tamarei (Part 1)

(As the Umezaki's returned to Earth, Sawano was being healed after being taken in to their dojo for saving Azumi and Yusei's lives but passed out after falling to the Bident's blow. Azumi was sitting with Sawano to make sure he was ok.)
"Yusei: Nee-Chan, how is he holding up?"
"Azumi: He's doing alright for now, the blow was lethal but its like he built an high substance to take attacks like that."
"Yusei: That's good. We do owe him for saving our lives."
"Azumi: Yeah."
(She looked at him and started to feel strange but remembered her childhood for a brief moment and gasped a bit.)
"Wait.. Why do I feel like... I've met Sawano somewhere before..?"
(A while later, Sawano woke up from healing and looked around, noticing he's back on Earth.)
"Sawano: Wait... Oh.. I'm back on Earth.."
(He slowly sat up after awakening from the floor and Azumi walked in the room a while later.)
"Azumi: You're awake!"
(Sawano looked to see Azumi at the door then closed it behind her after she changed to her yukata which was made personally for her.)

"Sawano: Azumi, hey."
"Azumi: Can I ask you something, Sawano?"
"Sawano: What's that?"
"Azumi: Do you remember your childhood?"
"Sawano: When I got my power back, I may or may not remember almost half of my memories."
"Azumi: Oh.."
"Sawano: But. When I saw the Sakura Tree, I did remember something."
(She quickly looked at Sawano in curiosity to know.)
"Sawano: I was... lying underneath one when I was a kid. But... Its a little fuzzy, I think I was there with someone besides Okisaki."
"Azumi: Oh. Well.. I remember most of it."
(He gave Azumi his attention as she tried to remember.)
"Well... It was actually with a boy. I can't remember him quite well but... We was good friends and we made a promise to one another. I wonder what happened to him..."
(Sawano smiled and looked out the window.)
"Sawano: I wonder about mines too. It seems we both was underneath a Sakura Tree."
"Azumi: Yeah.. I guess we was."
(They was silent for a moment which filled the atmosphere with awkwardness.)

"Both: Do you think- No you first- Nope you, I'm serious, you first!"
(They both covered their mouths as Azumi talked first.)
"Azumi: Do you think.. our memories was altered?"
"Sawano: Probably. Could be possible."
"Azumi: I see... Well, uh.. We have to start training soon..!"
"Sawano: Hold on."
(She paused for a moment and was a bit anxious on what he was about to say.)
"I like the yukata. Fits you."
"Azumi: ....Thank you..!"
(Her face blew up in red and quickly left the room and Sawano looked around to try and remember his past more but instantly remembered Xiazress after looking at his ring.)
"Sawano: ...Xiazress.. tch.."
(He then threw the ring into the sky at high speed then was gone in an instant. At Xiazress's palace, she was seeing Kazuya crawl and walk as Alesander watched her.)
"Alesander: Hey Xiazress, have you ever talked to any of the guys or girls back in the city?"
"Xiazress: Actually... No. After what Sawano said to me... I told the others to leave me alone for a while until I got my head straight."
"Alesander: Oh.. Well... what about you and Sawano?"
"Xiazress: We uh... broke up..."
"Alesander: Wait.. huh...?"
"Xiazress: I guess that lie really screwed things up for me huh...?"
(She laughed a bit as her hands was clenched and started to cry.)

"Why... why didn't I just come clean with him and say I adopted Kazuya...? I know he doesn't even think about me anymore..."
"Alesander: Why don't you try to talk to him?"
"Xiazress: I want to.. but I can't. He called Kazuya a mistake... I don't want anything to do with him if he doesn't want to see his adopted son...!"
"Alesander: Actually. I think Sawano is taking this a lot worse."
"Xiazress: Huh..?"
(Their TV would be switched to every new channel that shows the aftermath of the war and talking about Sawano's disappearance. Xiazress was listening to the comments from every channel until she had enough and slammed her fists through the table in anger and started to rage but Kazuya pulled himself on the couch and poked her. Xiazress then looked at Kazuya and held him as she calmed down.)
"No.. Its ok.. Its ok..."
"Alesander: I still cannot believe the man was an Anti-God but was truly trying to save the world from the colossal threats like these."
"Xiazress: I just... I just still love him..."
"Alesander: If you love him that much, why not talk to him?"
"Xiazress: I can't reach him.. Plus, I can't find him and I can't talk to him like I said..."
"Alesander: Look Xiazress. As your father, your mother and I went though something like this before and we made up and guess what! We both apologized about it then... forgot.. about it..."

(He backed up at the window to see a menacing shadow in the window as Xiazress gasped in fear and Kazuya started to cry again as Xiazress held him tight. Glass was heard shattering as Clara and the rest of the guards saw the main chamber of the palace become deserted within a blink of an eye. Meanwhile after a few minutes, Azumi and Sawano began training in sword combat as they both matched one another in combat.)

"Azumi: Not bad..! You're pretty good with swords!"
"Sawano: Not just that..! We Senvoinians has advanced physical speed when it comes to welding weapons! The faster we swing, the faster we are!"
(She challenged his theory and started to gain more speed for every clash their sword has. In an instant, Azumi snuck past time to land a strike but was stopped by Sawano's sword with quick thinking which had her surprised.)
"Azumi: No kidding.. you really are faster, you somehow managed to break the time barrier and block my attack!"
"Sawano: Aww.. shucks, its not like its that easy. It takes a lot of skill and speed to achieve that."
(Yusei was watching them as he was drawing while sitting on a tree stump.)
"Azumi: Also, Sawano. Have you decided to change your clothing? Your torn ones are a bit too..."
(She quickly covered her eyes in embarrassment along with her lower body.)
"Revealing to the eyes..."
(He looked down and saw himself shirtless which he as embarrassed quickly.)
"Sawano: Sorry..! I uh.. didn't realize that!"
"Yusei: Hey! There's a leftover kimono on the laundry line, maybe it could fit him."
"Azumi: You're right, Yusei! Sawano, I'll be right back!"
(She rushed to the laundry line to get the kimono and stopped the blushing then calmed down.)
"(Thinking): Why am I getting so worked up..? Its just... Sawano... GAH! WHAT AM I DOING..?! ME AND HIM ARE JUST... FRIENDS! FIGHTING PARTNERS FOR NOW! I mean... Its the least I owe him for saving me and Yusei's life."
(She grabbed the kimono and Azumi was walking back but then saw Sawano training more with the wooden katana which she'd then hide and slowly watched then gasped and slapped herself to snap out of it then walked over to him.)

"Azumi: Found the kimono!"
"Sawano: Oh! That looks nice..!"
"Yusei: Its a unique find n' buy, try it on!"
(He'd try on the kimono which he'd like it already.)
"Azumi: Well..?"
"Sawano: I like it!"
"Azumi: Oh...! Great! I'll uh.. go make some lunch for us..!"
(She ran inside as they both looked and Yusei smirked.)
"Yusei: I'll go help her out. You do you."
(He went inside as Azumi took deep breaths and calmed down.)
"Let me guess, you like him don't you?"
"Azumi: WHAAA?! W-WHA-WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! NO I DON'T, WE'RE JUST FRIENDS!-"
"Yusei: Everyone says that Azumi, but before ya know it. The deal... will be sealed. Think about it... you two could be together in the future... BUT. You know its wrong..."
"Azumi: HUH- NO! NO! NO! NO! Wait- What's wrong..?"
"Yusei: The ages, I mean. He's two years older than you right Nee-Chan? So practically, he'd get in big trouble. So you'd have to wait."
"Azumi: C-COME ON..! I'M ONLY HIS TRAINING PARTNER! THERE IS NO DESIRE FOR ME TO BE... THAT CLOSE WITH HIM...!"
"Yusei: You say that yet you don't understand the emotion?"
(She was then silent for a moment in her mind.)

"Nee-Chan... what you're experiencing is related to loving another person besides family."
(She gasped and remembered what she said back before the tournament.)

-Bus ride to the tournament-

"Azumi(Thinking): Love..? With another being besides my own family..?"

-Present-

"Yusei: Did you zone out on me again?"
"Azumi: Love... Wait.. Yusei... Is this what having feelings is..?"
"Yusei: Yup. You're feeling it."
(She looked out the window to see Sawano in the kimono but started blushing and smiled as she took off her mask.)
"Azumi: In that case.. I won't tell him yet..!"
"Yusei: That's good with me, so we cooking?"
"Azumi: Yup!"
(A while later, they started to prepare the dinner while back in Hakodate, Gaito was walking out the hospital with Choryrth, Masunashi and Okisaki but saw a lady screaming in the distance.)
"Gaito: What's wrong miss?"
"Lady: ITS GAITO TAMAREI!!!"
"Gaito: Huh?!"
(A swarm of ladies started to chase after Gaito which then had him running from them around the hospital while the three of them watched.)
"HELP!! WHAT'S GOING ON??!?!?"
"Masunashi: Its called fans, brother! They love you!"
"Gaito: WELL THEY NEEEDDD TO STOP CHASING ME!"
(He quickly zapped himself up to a street lamp and held on tight as he looked down at the swarming women and looked at Choryrth.)

"CHORYRTH! SEND US TO THE TAMAREI DOJO!"
"Choryrth: Very well, Gaito."
(Instantly, the four of them was quickly transported to the Tamarei's dojo and Gaito fell flat on the ground, happier to be home. Then he got up and looked at Choryrth.)
"Gaito: So, I have a month till I fight Zeus huh?"
"Choryrth: That is correct."
"Gaito: Time to go shopping."
"Masunashi: You're gonna train?!"
"Gaito: Nope. Sandwiches!"
(They'd look at him with an unenthusiastic face.)
"Look, I seriously am going to train. I just need like one hundred sandwiches."
"Okisaki: What are you going to do with one hundred sandwiches?"
"Gaito: I need sandwiches for strength, speed and stamina. Otherwise, there's no hope for me against Zeus."
"Masunashi: We can help anyway we can!"
"Gaito: Choryrth, how fast can you construct something?"
"Choryrth: Give or take, less than ten milliseconds."
"Gaito: Build me a hardcore training lab underneath the dojo."
"Choryrth: As you wish, Gaito. I will not waste time."
(He quickly rushed to the bottom of the dojo where he already got to work as Masunashi saw Okisaki looking outside the window.)
"Masunashi: Is something wrong Okisaki?"
"Okisaki: I... I just want to see my brother again..."
(She frowned and hugged Okisaki to comfort her.)

"Masunashi: Its going to be ok Okisaki, I know it. How about we call Azumi and see if she found him or at least managed to get him back?"
(Back at the Umezaki dojo, Yusei was putting the final touches on the feast he and Azumi prepared for the family and Sawano after their successful victory. Azumi was meditating in her room until she heard her phone and was startled then answered it.)
"Azumi(Phone): Hello?"
"Masunashi(Phone): Azumi! Its Masunashi, Gaito's sister?"
"Azumi(Phone): Oh! Masunashi, I didn't expect this! What's up?"
"Masunashi(Phone): Well, we knew you guys went to Hell to retrieve Sawano. How did that go? The others are worried."
"Azumi(Phone): Well. We've managed to get him back."
(They was smiling of joy at the news.)
"But... he does not wish to see anyone. After you guys didn't want to see him anymore, he's been completely heartbroken. Xiazress and him broke up after their argument, he found out that Ankoku was his elder kin and a lot more happened to him. To put it simply, he does not want to be around anyone."
"Okisaki(Speaker): B-but... but is he with you..?!"
"Azumi(Phone): Sawano's at the Umezaki dojo with me and my family only because we owe him for saving our lives. Also, that's not all. In one month's time, he is fighting Hades for the throne."
(Gaito dropped his sandwich on the floor and rushed towards the phone.)

"Gaito(Speaker): BACK THAT UP?!"
"Azumi: Y-yeah... Sawano is here training as we speak preparing to fight Hades in one month and Gaito, I heard about your fight, it was announced earlier."
(TV's was heard in their backgrounds as they all saw the urgent announcement coming from the broadcasting news network.)

"News Anchorman: We now come to you with urgent news. Explosions heard from the Voidion Residence has caused a mass evacuation. Multiple fighters on the scene has now looked around the area but has seen no sign of the Void Goddess, Xiazress and/or her father, Alesander Voidion. Both the Elemental High Commission and Federal Branch is on high alert to this situation, we now go live to their following statements."

(The TV switched to the leaders as they began to talk about the situation.)
"Angel: As leader of the Elemental High Commission, we are now accepting any and all help to track down Xiazress."
"Konira: As head of the Elemental Federal Branch, I speak on behalf of my associates, workers and fighters as I announced the two main primary missions: Locating and questioning, Sawano Magachi and finding Void Goddess, Xiazress."
(Azumi zoned out again until Yusei woke her up.)
"Yusei: Hey, nee-chan? I finished up."
"Azumi: Huh?! R-right! Sorry.. the news kinda uh... had me distracted.."
(The entire Umezaki family gathered around the table where the giant feast has been placed as Azumi was surprised.)
"Sayaka: Azumi! There you are, have you seen Sawano?"
"Azumi: He's outside training."
"Yusei: Still?"
"Azumi: I'll go get him."
(She went outside and saw the dark skies to get Sawano but saw him sitting underneath the planted Sakura Tree in their garden then smiled and sat next to him.)

"Hey."
"Sawano: Hey."
"Azumi: Enjoying the Sakura Tree?"
"Sawano: Yeah. Makes me feel... at ease."
"Azumi: I can relate. Although... this feels familiar.."
"Sawano: How so?"
"Azumi: Its like... we was here together before."
"Sawano: Really?"
"Azumi: Yeah..."
(They both looked up at the pink pedals on the tree as Sawano leaned his head back against the tree's bark and felt more relaxed.)
"Sawano: I feel it..."
"Azumi: Sawano. Are you glad you met me?"
(He sat up and looked at Azumi.)
"I mean.. I attacked you when we met, I actually was one of those people who abandoned you when I found out about you as an Anti-God.. and... and..."
"Sawano: So what?"
(She gasped and looked at him.)

"So what? People did the same thing Azumi, not just you. I was hurt at first, but it takes guts to handle something like that. I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys before all of... this happened and don't think it was your fault. You came to save me which actually made me happy. I owe you and the Umezaki's for assistance and rescue."
(Azumi then gripped Sawano's hand tightly which caused him to blush a bit in embarrassment and confusion.)
"Azumi: Not.. another... word..."
(She was looking at him seriously with tears in her eyes.)
"Are you... or are you not glad... you've met me..?"
"Sawano: Azumi, I wouldn't be here right now if I wasn't glad."
(She realized what he said and smiled which lead to a few bits of laughter as she then got up.)
"Azumi: Same.. I.. feel the same, Sawano Magachi."

(Sawano smiled back at her as Azumi then went back inside and Sawano started to join them. The Umezaki's meanwhile served a toast to the family and Sawano before they begin the feast. Azumi and the others began eating after the toast as Sawano started answering incoming questions from the family as Yusei saw Azumi smiling at Sawano and smiled at her. After the feast, Azumi switched into her pajamas and saw Sawano unpacking his things after leaving quickly to go to his dojo and back.)

"Sawano? Where did you go?"
"Azumi: Back to my dojo. I had to grab a few things."
"Sawano: Oh.. I see.."
(Azumi saw a picture which brought her curiosity up.)
"Azumi: What's that?"
(She pointed at the picture then Sawano pulled it out.)
"Sawano: Oh.. its me and.. my family while I was a baby.."
"Azumi: Aww..."
(He looked up and saw a childhood picture of Azumi and was interested.)
"Sawano: Same photo?"
"Azumi: Yeah..! Its me and my family as well, in front of the Sakura Tree in the back."
"Sawano: Look at how cute you was back then!"
(She blushed uncontrollably and hid her face.)
"Azumi : N-NO NEED TO SAY SUCH THINGS..!! I.. I-I WASN'T T-THAT CUTE...!"
"Sawano: Haha..!!"
(They both laughed and looked at one another with smiles and Yusei cleared his throat as he leaned on the hallway door.)

"Yusei: Save it for tomorrow lovebirds. Sawano, you're sleeping with me, I don't trust you in her room for.... numerous reasons."
"Azumi: HUH?!?! J-JUST WHAT T-TY-TYPE OF... REASONS ARE YOU-"
"Sawano: Do I look like that type of guy who would stoop that low?"
"Yusei: No. But.. I just want her to be safe."
"Sawano: Fair."
(A while later, Sawano unpacked and laid on a bed which felt like forever to him to feel normal.)
"Yusei: Can I ask you something, Sawano?"
"Sawano: What's up?"
"Yusei: Are you seriously going to fight Hades?"
"Sawano: Yup. Once the challenge is laid down, I can't turn back on it."
"Yusei: Then promise me something for Azumi's sake."
(He looked at him with his fist out.)
"I want you to promise me, you'll kick Hades's ass and win for her and us."
(Sawano smiled and gave him a fist bump.)
"Sawano: I promise, don't worry."

(After making the promise, they both went to sleep. The next day, both Gaito and Sawano trained harder than before as Gaito started timing himself in speed and Sawano focused on strength for the remaining weeks as the others was a bit worried for them both. A week has finally passed and Gaito and Choryrth wait at Hephaestus's Forgery where Gaito will be given his new arm. A few moments later, Hephaestus came outside his forgery with the new arm sealed inside a triple thick, shock absorbent glass which had Gaito surprised and excited.)

"Hephaestus: Here ya go Gaito! The new arm is created out of one of the strongest substances in this or any universe, "Nuclear Pasta."
(Gaito was stifled with laughter at the name.)
"That's seriously what its called! Anyway, the fist of the arm can act on its own once fired away from the arm. It's also immune to immense heat, cold, overloading, etcetera."
"Gaito: You really went all out! I appreciate this, really!"
"Hephaestus: Anytime! If there's any trouble with it, inform me imminently! Also good luck against Zeus!"
(Gaito nodded and returned to the dojo with Choryrth. A while later, Gaito laid down on his bed after safely placing the new arm next to him and smiled.)
"Gaito: Now I got to get the thing implanted."
"Choryrth: Should we begin the implant Gaito?"
"Gaito: Yeah, lets get this over with, I'm overhyped to test this bad boy out!"
"Choryrth: Very well, you might feel a bit of pain."
(He grabbed the arm as Gaito continued to lay there. Choryrth then jammed the metal arm into his right arm socket where he then flinched a bit but screamed in his mind. A few seconds later, Gaito was moving his new metal arm around as Choryrth tested it to make sure it functions correctly and Gaito stared at it with an excited smile.)

"Gaito: Choryrth, meet me at the training lab!"
"Choryrth: Of course, Gaito."
(Inside the lab, Gaito was eagerly excited to attack with his new metal arm.)
"Gaito: Choryrth! Summon ten negative twenty star CPU's!"
"Choryrth: Standby! CPU's spawning in three, two, one!"
(The ten negative twenty star CPU's was spawned as Gaito was more pumped up than ever.)
"The test begins... now!"
(Gaito bursts at speed of light and charged his metal arm into a fist.)
"Gaito: LIVEWIRE SMASHHHH!!!!"

(He'd hit one of the CPU's with a full powered Livewire Smash which created a disastrously large explosion as he looked menacingly at the other CPU's about to attack him as he fought back. The CPU he destroyed instantly disintegrated as Choryrth continued taking notes on Gaito's new arm. Gaito eradicates another CPU after direct series of punches with the metal arm.)

"THIS IS FRICKING AWESOME!!! THIS BEATS HAVING A HUMAN ARM!"
(He'd grab another CPU and started bashing its entire body with blows faster than light and landed a ferocious uppercut which sent the third CPU into the ceiling and started to becoming even faster than tachyon.)
"Choryrth(Thinking): This is... magnificent...! Gaito could stand a chance against Zeus!"

(Gaito continued to demolish the remaining CPU's and stared down the final CPU as it charged against Gaito and he went after it. Gaito then changed his metal arm with two hundred volts of electricity and punched through its chest, completely evaporating the CPU after shocking it into oblivion. Gaito then stood there for a moment and started chucking then laughing which he then yelled at the top of his lungs then his entire body exploded electricity across the entire lab.)

"Gaito: ZEUSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! MARK MY WORDS..! I'M STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE YOU DOWN NOW, YOU'LL REGRET EVER UNDERESTIMATING THE TAMAREI FAMILY!"
(One month has finally passed as Sawano's Anti-God and Demi-God markings appeared on his body, revealing his full power on standby without his mask on and he hissed as his fangs appeared then heard a knock at his door in the guest room.)
"Sawano(Demonically): Come in."
(Azumi walked in without her Oni mask, smiling at Sawano for the training he came so far on.)
"Azumi: Hey."
"Sawano(Demonically): Azumi."
(He'd put the mask back on, concealing his fangs and hiding his true power.)
"Azumi: You know... those fangs did kind of look cute on you."
(Sawano was surprised she saw them.)
"Sawano: Oh.. uh.. you saw my fangs...?"
"Azumi: Tell me, what is it like for a Senvoinian?"
"Sawano: Honestly... pretty confusing if you don't know your own planet. But I remember everything really... Except how my planet was destroyed by my uncle."
"Azumi: I see... Well.. I just wanted to say I'm proud of how far you've came Sawano."
"Sawano: Azumi... Thanks.."
(They both blushed as Sawano looked at the time and started to quickly go.)

"Oh! Its almost time for the fight.. I have to go-"
(Azumi held his hand tightly and didn't bother to let go which her entire face turned red.)
"Azumi: Sawano... I can't take it... The feelings are too.. powerful... A Kijo like me has never felt this way before.. But now, I want to say this.."
(Sawano looked at her as she looked at him, blushing uncontrollably again but smiling.)
"Sawano Magachi, I love you! If you don't win this... I'll hurt you!"
(He took the words to heart and Sawano then felt at ease once again and smiled then Azumi was pulled to Sawano as he hugged her, thanking her.)
"Sawano: Azumi, thank you... Thank you, very much... And I WILL.. WIN.."

(He lets go of Azumi and walked out the room then Sawano sees a sigil which one of the guards has informed Sawano about the match. He'd step on the sigil and was transported to Tartarus where the fight is bound to take place and waited for Hades. At the Tamarei Dojo, Gaito was performing over one thousand pushups before the fight with Zeus and saw a bright light emerge where Faiz appeared, informing Gaito about his match and waved to the others and stepped on the sigil to be transported to Olympus's coliseum. On Earth and from Hell to Heaven to areas of the Void Realm and the Anti-Realm, the entire universe began to witness the colossal fights.)

"Newswomen: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, it is finally October first and the two main fights that is BOUND to happen in moments: The God of Hell, Hades takes on Sawano Magachi and The King Of Gods, Zeus one on one with the twenty star rank two, Gaito Tamarei. Both fights will be coming to you live, from both Olympus's Coliseum and Tartarus! The two colossal battles shall begin at exactly four o'clock, which is only a few minutes away! Until then, we all shall prepare for the most must-see battles of all time, don't go anywhere! Back to the news station!"

(The others on Earth was prepared to see the battle, including Sawano's old friends and allies.)
"Daemon: WHEW.. This is going to be one BIGGG SHOWDOWN!"
"Sumizaki: Sawano will win..! I know it!"
"Tsuka: While Gaito and Sawano has to fight Greek Gods, we're stuck here. Still, good luck you two! We're all counting on you!"
"Onara: Good luck guys! You can do this!"
"Johide: You've placed so much pride into the Tamarei name Gaito, don't let it go to waste!"
"Okisaki: Sawano.. I'm sorry...! I know you can't hear me, but win this fight big bro!!"
"Masunashi: You guys can do this!"
(Support and love has been given to Gaito and Sawano across the world, even from those outside Japan.)
"Preston (United States President): I wish the two of you the greatest of luck."
"Suvorkin (Russian President): It would be a shame for Tamarei to lose, he did possess such power during that tournament."
"Isabe l(Mexico's Elite Fighter): Both of you has my support!"
"Trample Horn (Russian Fighter): Tamarei and Magachi has Trample Horn's good luck! Do not die against the two strongest Greek Gods!"
(The sigils was shown as Gaito and Sawano looked up at their opponents and Japan was cheering as both fights was about to happen. Hades and Zeus looked down at their opponents.)

"Hades: Well, I assumed you was going to run away again, Magachi."
"Sawano: Save it Hades. It'll be an honor killing you."
"Hades: As if you think your flames are enough to stop me. Same for those rusted chains!"
"Sawano: I don't care what I have to do, I'll FINISH YOU!"
(He remembered what Azumi gave Sawano two days before the fights.)

-Two Days Ago-

"Azumi: Sawano, do you know this sword?"
"Sawano: NO... That's the..."
"Azumi: Mhm. The Honjo Masamune. A disastrously, sharp sword. Its said it can even slash through a God's skin, combining this with Hellblazer could give you an advantage."
(He admired the sword carefully and tested it on his own skin which only showed a tiny cut instead of blood leaking.)
"Sawano: Very sharp.."
"Azumi: Yes, it is. Win for us Sawano, you have all of the Umezaki's support. I even managed to create the armor just for you.
"Sawano: I will... and thanks, Azumi Umezaki."
(She smiled with glee then Sawano gripped his hand into a fist and growled at Hades then Gaito was walking towards Zeus casually.)

-Present-

"Gaito: Well well... We finally meet once again, Zeus."
"Zeus: You have grown impressive power as of late Gaito, but not enough to surpass the King Of ALL Gods!"
"Gaito: How much you wanna test that theory?"
"Zeus: You deny your superior?"
"Gaito: I denied a lot of things, but denying you? My next goal of course."
(He ripped off his sleeve and revealed his metal arm and slammed his fists together as the clock was ticking down to four o'clock. Sawano and Gaito prepared as the fights was about to begin.)
"Chimon: Sawano, good luck. We have a lot of catching up to do."
"Aimiya: You made me proud kid, now go out there and kick ass!"
"Hades: Sawano. I actually have a special guest watching the fight closely.)
(Hades revealed the bloody and chained Xiazress as everyone else was saw on camera and jeered Hades which Sawano then clenched his fist and was more angered than before.)
(The clock has reached zero and the screens show:)
"Screens: LETS GO TO BATTLE!"
"Gaito: EMBER MIST, STAGE ONE!"

(Red lightning bursts out of Gaito and at high speeds landed a hit on Zeus which blasted him off guard and backed him up in the coliseum as the spectators was shocked as Sawano rocketed himself at Hades, leaving a trail of Inferno and tried to strike him down but Hades ignored it and let Sawano continues barrages of assault as they both began attacking their opponents.)

"WHAT'S THE PROBLEM ZEUS..? AFRAID I CAUGHT YOU OFF GUARD?"
"Zeus (Thinking): WHAT IN THE HELL WAS THAT...? WAS THAT..? NO... IT CAN'T BE..."

(Zeus began trying to vanish at high speed but Gaito appeared in front of him the entire time which had Zeus feel uneasy until he caught Gaito with a lightning bolt and blasted him with great damage into the coliseum's walls which pissed him off and he flew back to Zeus, landing another hit into Zeus's gut which then gave Zeus pain as he backed up more. Sawano was punched away from Hades but started to regrow his horns and tail, activating his demon form as he was now faster than before then him and Hades began to connect blows at one another but Sawano was taking the most damage.)

"Sawano(Thinking): Damn it.....! How is he stronger than me...?! Even in my demon form, his fists are like ten high speed trains..!!"
"Hades: Come on Sawano, where's that white fire of yours huh?!"
(Hades then knee's Sawano into his gut which then his ribs once again started to rattle but didn't break which had him impressed.)
"Last time you took an attack like that, your entire ribcage was shattered. I guess you DID GET STRONGER! HAHA!"
(Hades endlessly throws lefts and rights at Sawano as all he could do was block and wait for an opening and by sheer luck, he blocked another attack with his chains and charged his fist with engulfed Inferno.)

"Sawano: HELL'S INFERNO FIST!"
(Sawano lands a direct hit at Hades which he felt a few stings but was nowhere affected greatly by Sawano's punch which had him irritated as he continued punching Hades over and over at his face. Hades then headbutts Sawano at full force, knocking him into several rock pillars and had everyone else worried for him.)
"Hades: Tch.. pathetic..."
(In the debris, numerous chains was fired at Hades which was then wrapped around Hades's arm and startled him as Sawano limped out, bleeding from the headbutt and started to scare the others watching the fight.)
"Sawano: I'M... NOT... QUITTING... I'M... NOT.. LOSING...!!"
"Hades: Still alive?"

(He pulled Sawano and the chains towards him as Sawano then spun into a wheel and landed a direct punch into Hades's eye which had Hades then stumbled across the area in pain as Sawano brought the time to recover. Meanwhile, Gaito was zooming faster then Gods could see then landed a powerful right hook at Zeus with his metal arm and Zeus once again stumbled. Everyone continues to cheer for Gaito and Sawano for holding their own against Hades and Zeus until Zeus was then angered.)

"Zeus: YOU WILL LEARN NOT TO MESS WITH ME BOY!"

(Zeus then strikes down numerous lightning bolts at Gaito as he continues to dodge them throughout the coliseum, floats into the sky while he was aware of the trap Zeus planted. Gaito was then trapped inside a seal as Zeus grips his hand into a fist and strikes the seal with endless slashes of lightning. After the final lightning bolt, Gaito was then drilled several feet beneath the coliseum. A few moments later, Gaito blasts himself out of the ground and roars into stage four of Ember Mist which his attacks started to affect Zeus more after several melee strikes which triggers Zeus to begin fighting back against Gaito which started creating loud and dangerous tremors across Olympus. Back in Tartarus, Sawano manages to land major hits on the distractedly-in-pain Hades as he was still off guard by his eye pain but was angered enough to stomp Sawano into the ground after stomping on one of his chains which retracted and halts his movement. Hades then continued to stomp Sawano directly into the ground and started punching the ground to keep him down.)

"Okisaki: BROTHER!!!"
(Everyone else saw Hades laughing in cockiness as Sawano laid there, still conscious but started to twitch in anger.)
"Hades: Sawano, WHERE. IS. YOUR. WHITE.. INFERNO? YOU'VE MANAGED TO KILL YOUR OWN BROTHER WITH IT, BUT YOU CAN'T USE IT AGAIN ME?! I'M TIRED OF WASTING TIME!"
(Hades summoned his Bident and aimed it at Sawano then threw it then everyone else on Earth screamed at Sawano to wake up.)
"Everyone: SAWANO!!!! GET UP!!!!!!!!"
(He heard their screams as he quickly got back up and bit the Bident with his mask down but his mouth began to be burnt badly by the aftermath of the Bident's flames and everyone cheers for Sawano as Hades was surprised and Sawano threw it back at Hades which he caught it then he stared at Sawano as he floated in mid-air and was engulfed in flames.)
"Sawano(Demonically): Hellblazer."

(As he forcefully grips Hellblazer, the chains then locked itself around his arm as he then vanishes faster than sound and slashes Hades through his skin which begins to change into a darker form as Sawano did not realize. Back in Olympus, Gaito and Zeus continued their ongoing onslaught of attacks as Zeus then punches Gaito in his gut and launches him into the Olympus sky where he then explodes into assumedly cindered remains after a hand gesture from Zeus which triggered a dangerously strong lightning explosion and shocked Masunashi along with Choryrth.)

"Masunashi: BROTHER!"
"Choryrth: Gaito!"
(Gaito then crash lands into the ground and creates a crater as Zeus then descended to the ground and looks down at Gaito with shame for him.)
"Zeus: You know, I think I'm regretting on giving you my powers. If only Kenta was around. Hm... Kenta, where are you lad?"
(Gaito slammed his metal arm into the ground and got up with cuts, bruises and his entire shirt ripped off as he started at Zeus with his eyes white.)
"Gaito: Never... MENTION... KENTA... AGAIN...!"
"Zeus: Hm? Getting back up? You surely must come to terms with your damned limitations!"

(Lightning bolts was continuously being blasted at Gaito as he became angrier and angrier by the minute as he was absorbing Zeus's lightning without him knowing. Zeus then charged one more powerful Lightning Bolt at Gaito as he stood there, leaking with blood and was scaring his supporters and Masunashi but had Aimiya pissed off at what Gaito's doing. Zeus fired another bolt then Gaito quickly saw and punched the bolt back into the sky which scared Zeus.)

"Gaito: Heh... Now you've done it....

(Gaito's lightning suddenly turned dark and started flashing in different colors from white to yellow to lavender to red to blue and the pattern randomizes as a massive crater was created instantly from the pressure Gaito is drawing. Gaito's power began to expand at an alarmingly dangerous rate which red aura emerged and grew bigger with the lightning. Then started to surprise everyone and had Zeus back up at the rising power within him.)

"(Altered Voice): I am one who welds lightning as a Demi-God. All has feared lightning as the strongest..."
(Gaito started stomping out of the crater and started creating heavy footprints as his lighting then turned white and Gaito's aura merged with red which created a lavender-like color in the middle of the layers. Everyone was shocked at how high Gaito's power level was, other universes felt it from afar.)
"Zeus: WHAT THE HELL IS WITH HIS POWER LEVEL..?! ITS COMPLETELY OFF THE CHARTS...!!!"
(Gaito's roar became loud enough to create cracks which was seen in the sky and every planet in the universe started to rattle from Gaito's power causing shockwaves to be felt across the entire cosmos. Gaito's lightning successfully changed to pure white as Zeus continued to stare in fear.)
"NO... IT.. STAGE SIX... SEVEN... EIGHT...?! W-NO! HE'S AT-"
"Gaito(Altered Voice): STAGE TENNNNNN!!!!!"
(White lightning blasted out of Gaito as he was enraged with fury.)
"EMBER MIST!!!!"

(Before any notice, a massive piece of reality shattered off of the pure ground due to Gaito's incalculable speed as Gaito then lands a POWERFUL left hook at Zeus for even he could not see it in time. Everyone was awestruck at Gaito's power and speed as Zeus was taken off his feet and beaten senseless by Gaito's unmatchable speed and strength being shown in the fight.)

"NOW, ITS TIME I SHOW YOU ALL! WHERE THE TRUE KING IS, YOU'VE STOLEN ELEMENTS FROM ALL AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A KING?!"
(While Zeus had no time to react as every hit Gaito lands, powerful winds begins to increase the damage towards Zeus's body as the aftermath of said wind begins to affect areas of Olympus with typhoon like wind as buildings and monuments were crashing across the divine land. Back in the coliseum, Gaito then notices Zeus going all out in one attack in the skies.)
"Zeus: NOW YOU'LL DIE, GAITO TAMAREI AND KNOW YOUR PLACE! KING'S BOLT!"

(Zeus then summons and conducts a massive amount of lightning into his final attack which is his finishing strike, fires a massive lightning bolt of blue at Gaito where Gaito then charges his own lightning bolt into his metal arm, jumps directly towards Zeus's bolt, flips over the wave and grips the lightning bolt to swing it back which surprises Zeus and the spectators majorly as Gaito then punches and recoils Zeus's lightning bolt and his lightning bolt together directly into Zeus's face which created a thunderous roar of explosions across the whole realm of Olympus and shakes the entire cosmos once again and within an instant, Olympus's reality was shattered as nothing was left except Gods and debris flying around. In an instant, time stopped as everything in Olympus was reversed in time to just a massive cloud of debris exploding in the entire coliseum as the spectators and Gods looked around it to see what happened.)
