Chapter 46: Kazuya, Hinami & Shibuto

Project: INFERNO


(Sometime after Sawano and Gaito's battles, every human on Earth was living their normal lives. Gaito started to fix Earth back into its normal self and separated all the realms that was merged with Earth and returned to their own areas. Every devil, angel, God, Goddess and Demi-God and Voidion that lived on Earth was returning to their own worlds as the humans started waving goodbye to each individual they got to know which Gaito and Sawano watched from their own realms. The portals to the separated realms finally closed as the humans cheered for them. Meanwhile at Saikan Academy, Kazuya, Shibuto and Hinami waited until they was called in for their training.)

"Hinami: So how hard do you think these tests will be?"
"Shibuto: Not sure.. But I'd say we give our best!"
"Kazuya: Tch, big deal. I can handle it no problem."
"Shibuto: Well don't jinx yourself."
"Kazuya: Hmph. Like you're one to talk."
"Shibuto: Kazuya. My father is the King Of Gods-"
"Kazuya: LIKE I GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHO YOUR FATHER IS! I ALREADY KNOW BECAUSE I WAS TRAINED UNDER HIM, TCH.. ANNOYING BRAT."
"Shibuto: But where is your elemental power Kazuya?"
(He was silent for a moment and turned around with a heavy scoff.)
"Next time, check your facts before fooling yourself Kazuya."
"Hinami: Come on! No need to fight guys..!"
(They both was silent as Hinami was left in the silence.)

"Kazuya: I don't have one.."
"Both: Huh?"
"Kazuya: All of that training with your father Shibuto... AND I DON'T HAVE ONE GODDAMN TRACE OF ELEMENTAL POWER! To hell with this.. I'm signing out."
(They stopped him before he could get up as they had regret.)
"Shibuto: No Kazuya! Look, it doesn't matter if you have elemental power or not! All that matters is the three of us are working together as the strongest currently of the new generation! We might be different, but new evils could arise so we have to fight with whatever we got, element or not! You know I'm right!!"
(Kazuya said nothing else and sat back down then sighed.)

"Kazuya: How can I argue with you after hearing that?"
(They both smiled then was called in for their trainings. After being interviewed, the three of them prepared and participated in the trainings.)
"Coach: Alright, this is the speed test! All of you here will be tested upon speed, reflex, stamina and agility. If you do not past, do not fret, there are other tests after this!"
(After through several series of tests, everyone in the waiting room was tired, sweaty and exhausted from the training.)
"Hinami: I REALLY underestimated the training..."
"Kazuya: Gah... That was frustrating... but finally we made it through.."
"Shibuto: Hopefully we'll get accepted..."
(A while later, the coach had the results in.)

"Coach: Alright, attention! Most of you have passed!"
(Everyone cheered but the coached paused the excitement.)
"Most of you... Kazuya. Shibuto & Hinami..? You three have failed."
(Their hearts sunk with so much disbelief, they became speechless.)
"I deeply apologize. Come back and take the test next year."
(The three of them walked in silence until Kazuya screamed and punched a street lamp which tore off its body and crashed into an electronics store.)
"Hinami: Kazuya.. its ok-"
"Kazuya: NO ITS NOT F**KING OK! WE JUST FAILED A EXAM WE HAVE TO WAIT A WHOLE YEAR TO REDO? DO YOU KNOW HOW F**KING EMBARRASSING IT IS TO BE TRAINED BY GODS AND FAIL..? I HATE IT! I HATE IT ALL, CURSE THIS PATHETIC SHIT..!"
(Hinami got worried then followed him as Shibuto was clouded with fear on what Gaito would do to him. After a while later, they saw everyone crowding the Sawano Magachi and Gaito Tamarei statues and saw the sign.)

"Sign: Only one shall pull the sword of Lightning, doing so shall gift the welder immense power beyond limitations."
"Hinami: Look!"
"Shibuto: Who's gonna pull it..?"
(A few cocky civilians gave it a try and pulled at the same time but the sword continued to be engraved to the ground.)
"Kazuya: Tch.. the hell's wrong with you weaklings?!?! YOU CAN'T PULL ONE WEAK ASS SWORD OUT OF THE GROUND? ALL OF YOU ARE EMBARRASSMENTS! ITS THAT GODDAMN EASY!"
(As Kazuya gripped the handle and yanked the sword out the ground, everyone was stunned and imminently bowed before him which had Kazuya confused and Shibuto was smiling but scared at the same time.)
"Shibuto: Kazuya... that's not no sword..."
"Kazuya: Then what the hell is this thing?"
(Both Hinami and Shibuto said at the same time:)
"Both: THAT'S VENOMSHANK!!!"
"Kazuya: VENOM-WHAT?!"
(Lightning was striking in the skies as a booming laugh was heard and a huge light was opening in the clouds, down from Olympus came Gaito himself with joy.)

"Gaito: FINALLY! A WORTHY ONE OF THE DEMI-GOD STRENGTH!"
(Everyone immediately worshipped Gaito and cheered for him on his arrival back to Earth and was given room to talk to Kazuya.)
"Kazuya: Ok gramps, what the hell's going on here?"
"Gaito: Kazuya, you my young disciple have just pulled the sword of lightning. Venomshank releases itself from the ground once it felt the touch of a true carrier."
"Kazuya: GET TO THE POINT ALREADY!"
(He laughed with a smile.)
"Gaito: Maybe this can understand it all for you."
(Kazuya was blasted with a bolt of Lightning and in an instant, he felt immense power surging through his entire body and blue circuits of lightning was shooting around him.)
"Congratulations. You are now, the Demi-God of Lightning, Kazuya Atharu."
(Everyone cheered and clapped for him as he was silent with shock.)

"And now, it is time for us to depart, to Olympus!"
"Shibuto: YOU'RE NOT GONNA... PUNISH US FOR FAILING THE EXAM, AREN'T YOU...?"
(He walked towards his son and patted his head.)
"Gaito: To tell the truth.. I may have 'changed' your chances of passing into failing."
"All Three: HUH!?"
"Gaito: You see, I had to make you three fail so I could take you with me.. to Olympus's newest academy! It's done its construction."
"Kazuya: ....So.. You made us... fail for NOTHING...?!"
"Gaito: Guilty..!"
"Kazuya: GRRRR, I HATE YOU!"

(Gaito laughed at Kazuya was angered but the three of them was then carried by Gaito's Pegasus as he waved goodbye to every one around the statues and the four of them ascended into the skies. The light then faded away. Both Shibuto and Hinami was excited as they traveled through the clouds as Kazuya was a bit irritated as Gaito continued leading them.)

"Gaito: Here we are my children... Welcome.. to Olympus!!"
(After they escaped the clouds, they appeared at the very top where Gods and Goddesses are seen everywhere and had Hinami surprised after arriving at Olympus.)
"Shibuto: Welcome home guys,.. This is where I was born!"
"Hinami: I've heard legends... but Olympus does exist...!!"
"Kazuya: Well Hinami, I'm surprised your father is the God of Hell yet he's familiar with Gaito."
"Hinami: Yeah, I never was told about Olympus. All father told me was he's familiar with a close friend whom is stronger than him!"
"Gaito: Gee... I wonder who that 'friend' could be..."
"All Three: ITS YOU!"
"Gaito: I know!"
(They all laughed and arrived in front of the academy moments later and the three of them was surprised than before.)

"Here we are, Shinsei Academy! The one academy all Gods and more can enter."
"Kazuya: Tch.. its.. nice I guess."
"Hinami: So this is where we will be attending from now on?"
"Gaito: Yes. And you know what, I might make a general announcement..."
(Gaito focused his mind and linked with every student and teacher of the academy and delivered an announcement to them all.)
"(Telepathy): Good evening everyone, I'd like for every student to come to the outside of the school please. This is a message from the King of Gods and headmaster of the academy, Gaito."
(A while later, every student and teacher was gathered outside of the school as Gaito began to make the announcement.)
"Shibuto: I wonder what he's gonna do.."
"Gaito: My children, each and every one of you has a chance to be known as the top God, Goddess, Demi-God or even a descendant! But, there comes a time.... where you all must relax after stressful hours of teaching and learning so, out of the goodness of my circuiting heart...."
(Gaito raised one finger and charged a white orb then shot it across the skies where it then explodes and reveals a portal to another realm which had everyone else surprised and curious but most was scared of his power.)


"Come on! You all will love this!"
(Gaito flew through the portal as a passageway opened up for them from the portal and back to Olympus. Most of them flew as the others walked there and after all the students and teachers went through, Kazuya, Shibuto & Hinami was the last ones and everyone was staring in shock at everything looking exactly like Earth.)

"I introduce you all, Your own dimension! Everything here is from what you guys are interested in from Japan. So... I took the liberty of linking my mind with every single one of yours and grabbing a piece of what you love and adding it into this pocket dimension! So in terms of short, I've recreated, refurnished and easily duplicated the Earth's entire universe into a dimension just for you all to relax in. Go have some fun, all classes ends early!"

(They all cheered as everyone rushed down to check out the entire peaceful pocket dimension which then had Kazuya, Shibuto and Hinami still stunned from Gaito's power.)
"Kazuya: H-How... How did you m-"
"Gaito: Impressed?"
"Kazuya: IMPRESSED? I'M FURIOUS ON HOW YOU GET THE GOOD POWERS! WHAT WAS THIS, INSTANT CREATION OR SOMETHING?!"
"Gaito: No no no. I fought Zeus in a one on one battle. The term "Winner Takes All" means everything. All the power, all the abilities, all the knowledge, the throne, EVERYTHING. There is a huge risk when playing a "Winner Takes All" game. You must be at one hundred percent and ready to give your all, that's how I won against Zeus. But from what I know, I have a power called "Omnipotence" and its a very rare, yet unstoppa-"
"Kazuya: I DON'T CARE! I'M TIRED OF YOU ALWAYS GETTING GOOD THINGS GAITO! YOU'VE EVEN PROMISED TO TEACH ME AND SHIBUTO THE EMBER MIST TECHNIQUE!!"
(Gaito then sighed as he was then irritated.)

"Gaito: I cannot force you power, that is something ungodly of me to even think about doing. If you want the Ember Mist technique..."
(Gaito snapped his fingers as they appeared in the pocket dimension's Elemental Wargrounds arena in Japan and Kazuya looked around. Gaito then tightened his repaired blindfold he wore as a child on top of his head which lowered his power level at a maximum rate.)
"We fight."
"Kazuya: Now, you're talking my language!!"
(The screens would appear above their heads on the rafter as an animated crowd was playing in the stands and they'd both take their positions. The timer buzzes as the screen says:)
"Screens: LETS GO TO BATTLE!"

(Kazuya instantly charged his lightning at full power and vanished faster than light and went for a swift and fast kick to Gaito's face but was dodged which released a heavy gust of wind toward and torn off half of the arena already. Gaito continues to stand there as Kazuya was becoming more and more irritated then sprinted faster than before to land a hit on Gaito as he continues to block every attack Kazuya throws.)

"Kazuya: GRRAAAAHHHH!!!"
(As Kazuya launched himself into the air he charged a powerful bolt but was being conducted from his own energy instead of the lightning which had Gaito give him his full attention out of interest and smiled.)
"Gaito: An Energy Bolt.. not bad."
"Kazuya: SHUT UP AND TAKE THIS!!"
(The bolt grew brighter and brighter to the point it suddenly vanished then Kazuya collapsed to the ground and powered down after falling out of the sky but was found instantly unconscious.)
"Gaito: Poor kid.. he exhausted his power already."

(After the fight, Kazuya was resting in the Yamaguchi's hospital inside the created realm as Shibuto and Hinami waited for him to wake up and Gaito returned to Olympus to sit on his throne but was curious on how Kazuya was doing. A while later, Kazuya awoken from his unconscious state in the hospital bed and looked at both of his sides, Hinami and Shibuto sleeping but rubbed his eyes.)

"Kazuya: Hey.. guys..?"
(He shook the both of them and they'd both look at Kazuya with joy.)
"Both: Kazuya!"
"Kazuya: Hey..! Hey..! I'm ok guys..."
"Shibuto: Kazuya..? Are you ok? You sound and look... different."
"Kazuya: I may have cried a bit... Inside and outside."
"Hinami: What's wrong..?"
"Kazuya: I'm always angry... at someone for no apparent reason..."
"Shibuto: Well.. you're always saying you want to get stronger."
"Kazuya: But, me yelling isn't going to make me strong. I just want to get stronger as an elemental so I can fight for you guys."
"Hinami: Kazuya.. you're strong of course! But don't say you're weaker than us, I know you're not! The three of us trained our butts off to be who we are now, look at me! I'm a Goddess Of Light and Shibuto is a Demi-God of Space. You just became the Demi-God of Lightning, something Gaito has made an absolute legend in elemental history. He gave you this opportunity to hold the torch."
(She held his hand with a small, strong grip.)

"Kazuya, we're your friends! You can get stronger! We both believe in you..!"
"Shibuto: She's right, no matter what we're always going to support you."
(He was speechless as he smiled at both of them.)
"Kazuya: You guys are right... Its time I do focus on this power... Gaito has given me the torch to hold, now its my turn to make that fire grow brighter!"
(Gaito secretly linked his mind with Kazuya's and heard everything they said and smiled with a small laugh.)
"Gaito: Kazuya... you're going to do great things kid. With those two on your side, you got nothing to worry about pal.
