Chapter 119: Tatsuhiro's Path Of Vengeance.

(Another year has went by after the world was told about Lotus Kenhiro's death which brought devastation to the fighter world. During that time, the Assassin's Guild hung a framed poster of Lotus Kenhiro in the center of the Assassin Memorial Hall and also named him the greatest human martial artist of all time where Silvershot, the current number one assassin of the guild then placed Lotus's bo staff next to the poster in his honor and every assassin in the guild visited to see Lotus. During that time, every other fighter was continuing to train but twice as harder while the Magachi's was as well but couldn't concentrate after thinking about Lotus's death.)

"Sawano: How... How the hell.. did Lotus... die...?"
"Shibuto: While we all was training too..."
"Fuchibuto: This is crazy... We just lost.. the number one assassin while everyone was training..."
"Hinami: Where's.. Tatsuhiro..?"
"Sawano: He uh... Needed time alone."
(Right next to the destroyed remains of the Gojai Dojo, Tatsuhiro looked down at Lotus's grave with absolute hate, sadness, vengeance and pain in his eyes along with the rain pouring down over Hakodate. Tatsuhiro then stood there in the rain, remembering every memory of his friendship with Lotus and started to actually cry real tears for the loss of his best friend.)
"Tatsuhiro: Knitemare.... I swear this... at the bottom of my f**king soul..."
(Tatsuhiro's glasses was then charred from the anger as his tear-filled eyes was showing pure hated now for Knitemare.)
"I will make you pay... I will make.. YOU... PAY...!"
(Tatsuhiro took his glasses off and left them on Lotus's grave continuing to talk to him but Lotus's soul was then seen floating next to Tatsuhiro which only he can see it.)

"Lotus(Soul): Tatsuhiro. I'm terribly sorry for losing to clones."
"Tatsuhiro: Do not worry my dear friend... I will bring you back."
"Lotus(Soul): I appreciate it, Lord Tatsuhiro."
"Tatsuhiro: ...Just call me Tatsuhiro, Lotus... You know damn well you're my best friend..!"
(Tatsuhiro began feeling emotion but calmed down before losing his composure.)
"Lotus(Soul): Listen Tatsuhiro. One day, when you bring me back, I want you to kill Knitemare for me. Defend the Gojai Dojo... Defend the Vengeful Raven and go claim your vengeance for not just your master... But your friend."
(Tatsuhiro nodded with no words.)

"Tatsuhiro: I will... Until then, I'll keep you here.."
(He pulled out a sealed necklace-made lantern which is big enough to hold Lotus's soul.)
"Lotus(Soul): I appreciate this Tatsuhiro."
(Tatsuhiro then gripped his hand tightly as he left his glasses but returned to the mansion with the shade in his eyes as he did not say a single word to the family, even to his wives which everyone was silent to each other.)
"Sawano: Gaito."
"Tatsuhiro: Shut it."
"Sawano: Gaito!"
"Tatsuhiro: I said. SHUT. IT."
"Sawano: I'm trying to talk to my father, is that too much to ask?!"
"Hinami: S-Sawano, I don't think you should talk to h-him right now.."
"Sawano: Gaito. I know this pissed you off, but come on. You're really gonna-"
(Tatsuhiro without any hesitation and at full force blasted Sawano right in the face with his fist which exploded a massive wave of inferno across the doors and across the ocean and terrified the whole family.)

"Tatsuhiro: Anyone else wants to say something?"
(They all was silent.)
"I didn't think so."
(As he started to walk away, Sawano's entire body was instantly regenerating as he cracked his neck and shrugged and at his own full power, Sawano tackled Tatsuhiro through his mansion and created a massive hole in the wall, everyone shocked as they called Sawano back.)
"Sawano: I TRIED TALKING TO YOU! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"
"Tatsuhiro: THIS DOESN'T CONCERN YOU! THIS... NEVER CONCERNED YOU!!!!"
(Tatsuhiro then launched another full powered punch which did not push Sawano as far as it did before and instead his bruises was gone.)
"Sawano: I see how it is... FINE!"

(Sawano then quickly transformed his Unholy Inferno into crimson flames which made him on par with his base form attacking. Sawano and Tatsuhiro then began battling once again from the skies to space then back down to Earth. After fifteen minutes of a never ending battle, Tatsuhiro's eyes was bloodshot with anger as he then blasted his whole fist through Sawano's stomach and began stealing every ability he has which Tatsuhiro then blasted Sawano directly from Hakodate's streets all the way to Tokyo as civilians escaped after hearing crashing.)

"Sawano: GAHHH..!"

(Tatsuhiro then appeared right in front of Sawano again and gripped both his hands then snapped both of its wrists which had him roaring in agonizing pain then Sawano was given an uppercut so powerful, fifteen percent of the entire area was blasted away by the shockwave and Sawano was rocketed back into the air with his entire face bloody and one of his eyes completely closed shut and suffers punch across the skies, an axe handle to keep him going and then punched him directly into the ground while acting as a missile and dug Sawano directly through the ground which a big explosion was caused by Tatsuhiro. He then threw Sawano into a store which he crashed through then several workplaces. Tatsuhiro walked up to him, pissed.)

"Tatsuhiro: What's wrong? I thought you wanted to TALK!"
(Tatsuhiro stomped on his right arm as Sawano was too injured to speak and Tatsuhiro threw him into the open, lying in the middle of the street and Sawano looked at Tatsuhiro again.)
"What's wrong? SAY SOMETHING! YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOUR FATHER DO YOU?"
(Tatsuhiro kneeled down and gripped him by Sawano by the neck as he stared into Tatsuhiro's cold-blooded, bloodlust-filled eyes.)
"Sawano: Y-You..."

"Tatsuhiro: I what? I want you to listen good to me. Because right now, I could care less if I annihilated every f**king being in the cosmos, no matter who they are, innocent or NOT. Better yet if I wanted to.. I could kill YOU. Then Ankoku, then the family and even if they stand in my way, I will kill Xinera and Isabel too, even if I do love them. You better not. EVER. Think you're shit to my power level. You're too damn weak even if you had you're full life force back! Back to your question.. "Why am I doing this?" Sawano. I lost. My best friend. Over a mistake I made. That is why if I have to, I will eradicate every last galaxy, universe, dimension, timeline. I will eradicate the COSMOS! TO FIND KNITEMARE!!!!"

(Sawano was beginning to resurrect slowly as Tatsuhiro was beginning to become even more pissed off as he then clenched his hands again and punched Sawano directly out of Tokyo and into the ocean where Tatsuhiro pulled him out and looked at Sawano leaking a dangerous amount of blood from his body and threw Sawano back onto the land as Tatsuhiro then broke every last bone in Sawano's body and was still alive during it all. Tatsuhiro then caught Sawano trying to speak again as Tatsuhiro had enough.)

"YOU STILL WANT TO TALK?! FINE!! I'M TIRED... OF HEARING YOUR F**KING ANNOYING VOICE!"
(Tatsuhiro delivered a thundering right hand to Sawano's face which splattered more blood across the whole street.)
"YOU ALWAYS GOT TO PLAY THE GODDAMN HERO HUH?! YOU WANT TO BE THE HERO SO BAD?!"
(He then delivered another punch which shattered his rib cage but also shook his core and gave a light crack but was vulnerable and able to be shattered.)
"THEN I'LL BE THE VILLAIN! COME ON SON! TRY AND DEFEAT THE VILLAIN!!!!"

(Tatsuhiro out of pure hatred then started attacking Sawano brutally without any hesitation to stop and for every punch, the thuds would echo across the destroyed areas. As Sawano could no longer move, Tatsuhiro relentlessly attacked Sawano without stopping. After three more punches to the face, Sawano was completely blacked out as he could no longer function any part of his body and was completely knocked out. Tatsuhiro then looked at the brutally beaten Sawano without any regret and grabbed Sawano's unconscious body and teleported him directly to the mountains. Tatsuhiro then dug a hole out and kicked Sawano into the hole.)

"I didn't want to do this Sawano. I really didn't... But you PUSHED me to even do this."
(Tatsuhiro then buried the dirt on top of Sawano as he then teleported away and left him buried in the dirt without turning to look back.)
