Chapter 139: Who Is Tatsuhiro Magachi? (Part 1)

Project: INFERNO


(As a day went by, Tatsuhiro was floating in an endless vortex with nothing but debris as he the caught a floating pebble which was in front of him. Tatsuhiro then took one sniff of the pebble and stared into the dark space which before was actually a planet before it was annihilated.)
"Tatsuhiro: Senvoinerth."
(He then examined the pebble with Chronos's time powers and viewed his childhood memories on how he become who he is today.)
"Time to take a little trip down memory lane... Show me what truly happened."
(As Tatsuhiro watched his memories from one of Senvoinerth's pebble, he watched everything that happened from his childhood to the day he met Sawano.)

-Tatsuhiro's TRUE Childhood-

(Past the gloomy skies, Senvoinerth was revealed to be a modern-day and half future-like planet with mainly eagle-bred birds flying in the skies along with all kinds of futuristic machinery in the air while the mechanical machineries such as cars, trucks and even transportation was half-mechanical and half futuristic. At a nearby school campus, young Senvoinian students was going towards their school as young Tatsuhiro at the age of twelve was walking to the school while chewing Earth-made gum without a care in the world on what anyone says. Several other Senvoinians was murmuring about his actions and his appearance.)

"???: You got our money, four eyes? Where the hell is the rest of it?"
(One of Tatsuhiro's classmates was pushed to a tree then was ransacked for any owed money but was then kicked right in the face as his glasses was kicked off his own face and then stomped on without a second thought. The defenseless classmate then covered his own face in pain as Tatsuhiro walked up and continued to chew his gum.)
"Tatsuhiro: What's this..?"
(The bullies then turned to see Tatsuhiro right behind them with a third eye and several unknown markings across Tatsuhiro's body.)

"Bully: Well well, Tatsuhiro Magachi, the school's dropout! Our little buddy here forgot to pay us so we decided to give him a little lesson-"
"Young Tatsuhiro: You believe picking on the weak like so is a game to you? The weak could be stronger than you and you torture one of my classmates who is a weakling? Mind if I join?"
(The three of them agreed as they nodded and gave Tatsuhiro some space so he could bully his classmate too. Tatsuhiro then picked him up and cleaned his ruined shirt along with his uniform but purposely swung a powerful left hook to one of the bullies which blasted them across the campus into a bush across the walkway.)

"Bully #2: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"

"Young Tatsuhiro: Bullying. What else?"

(Tatsuhiro's then gripped a fist from the third bully and crushed it with barely any effort and caused him to scream and cry with pain but then passed out as the pain was unbearable. The second bully was then anxious as Tatsuhiro walked towards him and made direct eye contact, smiled at him then purposely hits him right in the jaw with a fast straight jab with his right hand which caused him to fall over with a bleeding mouth. The other students was scared of Tatsuhiro's strength as he waked to his bullied classmate and cleaned his face.)

"Sorry your glasses got broken."
"???: Oh its okay... I got a spare."
"Young Tatsuhiro: Look. Why didn't you fight back?"
"???: I'm not sure really. But wait, you fought for me!"
"Young Tatsuhiro: I honestly don't know how to fight myself. Maybe its just an instinct or something that controls itself. But listen, learn how to defend yourself from bullies like them. Its not cool to let yourself act like a punching bag."
(Tatsuhiro then pat his shoulder as Tatsuhiro's name was yelled.)
"???: TATSUHIRO!"

(He then turned around with a bland stare as he didn't care to see the school's student counsel along with their president who walked towards Tatsuhiro who's markings and third eye quickly vanished as the student counsel president then gave him a serious glare.)

"Young Tatsuhiro: Can I help you?"
"Urost Lunhe(Student Counsel President): May I have you know that violence is an absolute NO on school grounds! This is your only warning on fighting and we're not excusing the tenth time you've been tardy to your classes!"
"Young Tatsuhiro: And? Do I even know you?"
"Urost: WH- HUH?!"
"Cidro Thindru(Student Counsel Vice President): Please try not to lose your anger, president.. We don't want a mishap of last time."
"Urost: You're right... Tatsuhiro, this is your only warning for the fighting but I will not excuse you for being purposely tardy to classes everyday!"
(Tatsuhiro shrugged his shoulders and walked past them, spitting out his gum and places it on one of the unconscious bully's head.)

"Young Tatsuhiro: You can keep that, I'm done with it."
"Urost: NOW THAT IS A VIOLATION, TATSUHIRO!!!!"
"Cidro: President.. Its not worth it, students like him will never understand."

(As time passed, Tatsuhiro chilled in the classroom with his feet kicked up to his desk as he was talking to several other students whom was his friends with a smile on his face for every laugh he gives. Suddenly, the door was then slammed opened as Urost returned and stomped her way towards Tatsuhiro as his friends backed away and he was then annoyed once again.)

"Young Tatsuhiro: Oh, its you again... Who are you?"
"Urost: ITS UROST, DAMN IT!!!"
(She cleared her throat to maintain her self-control.)
"Listen, can we talk? Outside of the class?"
(Tatsuhiro and Urost along with the student counsel vice president confronted him.)
"Young Tatsuhiro: Okay. What's this about?"
"Urost: We've went through your records and it seems here you don't have an address in your personal accords. Is there somewhere you live?"
"Young Tatsuhiro: Yes and no."
(The two was confused.)
"I don't wanna explain much. All I'm going to say is, the person who's my so-called "parental guardian" doesn't treat me as his own son."
"Cidro: Can we interest you in living in one of the academy's dorms?"
"Young Tatsuhiro: Nah.. I'll be alright. After all, everywhere is my home."

(Tatsuhiro then walked back to the class as Urost and Cidro was a bit more confused. As school ended for the day, Tatsuhiro was chewing more gum as he looked out the window to see students leaving but widened his eyes a bit to see a familiar car pulled up to the school and stepped out with Hirokuma and Takeshido Magachi with several royal guards and started to frighten several students of their presence which angered Tatsuhiro.)

"Takeshido: He's here. Find him and bring him back to the damn palace."
(A window suddenly shatters which surprised everyone as Tatsuhiro then landed on his feet as Takeshido ordered the guards to catch him. Tatsuhiro runs away quickly from the guards parkour style as he jumped from gate to gate and dived into the wilderness area which forced the guards to stop as Tatsuhiro quickly got away.)

"DAMN IT..!! TATSUHIROOOOO!!!"
(Tatsuhiro sat down behind a tree as he caught his breath for a bit.)
"Young Tatsuhiro: If I go back to the palace, he'll definitely get pissed. Time to lay low for a while.. Luckily, this forest has everything I need."
(Tatsuhiro then wandered around for a while as he found an abandoned yet destroyed log cabin which gave a very vulgar smell of rotten flesh.)
"Smells like flesh... Did someone die around here?"
(He then walked to the abandoned log cabin to see a dismembered Senvoinian student along with a dead dragonkin right beside the corpse inside the blood-drenched cabin.)
"Oh. Just a murdered student and a... dragon?"
(He walked inside for a closer look and examined both corpses to see a dragon tail of the deceased dragonkin and noticed a nametag right on its shirt.)

"Saria.. Ushtoz..? Wait a damn second, this is the counsel's secretary..? Damn, its like they snuck down here to bump uglies but got killed."
"???: Because they was."
(Tatsuhiro heard a voice as someone found Tatsuhiro in the cabin which Tatsuhiro looked at the being with barely any emotion.)
"Young Tatsuhiro: Who are you?"
"???: You don't remember me? Tatsuhiro, you should remember me better."
(After walking through the trees, it was eleven year old Lotus Kenhiro, visiting Senvoinerth.)
"Young Tatsuhiro: Oh Lotus.. Sorry."
"Lotus: Ran off again, hm?"
"Young Tatsuhiro: Yeah. If they find me, Takeshido will give me another earful. As if I gave two shits to what he said."
"Lotus: I do not know what its like to have a father like him but I do believe your pain is bothering you indefinitely to be given a father like Takeshido. What about Hirokuma?"
"Young Tatsuhiro: She.. is mainly behind his back. She wouldn't go against his word. Also, what can you tell me about this?"
"Lotus: Judging on how slaughtered they were, there are rumors that there's a killer in this woods. No one found out about this cabin yet and these two went missing for the past several weeks. Only people who knows is the student counsel, everyone else? In the dark."
(Tatsuhiro then nodded, understanding.)

"Young Tatsuhiro: I see. Poor souls. Hopefully you two are resting easy elsewhere."
"Lotus: How long do you plan to hide out?"
"Young Tatsuhiro: For a few days."
"Lotus: You can hide out in the dojo, Senvoinian's don't have access to it yet."

(Tatsuhiro agreed to the idea and did so. After so, Tatsuhiro currently fast forwards his memories to his expulsion from Senvoinerth at just twelve years old along with Masunashi and Khoteku. The three pods was blasted in separated directions as Khoteku's pod forced her across the entire galaxy. Masunashi and Tatsuhiro's was sent to different realms as Tatsuhiro's pod began to crash land onto the surface of the new realm which did so and the crash knocked him unconscious. Suddenly, a dragon-like child rushed over to the pod and forced it open, finding the injured Tatsuhiro and quickly pulled him out. Time passes as Tatsuhiro was resting in bed.)

"Young Tatsuhiro: Agk.. W-What.. happened..?"
"???: Are you awake, young one?"
"Young Tatsuhiro: Y-Yeah.. Who even are you..?"
"???: I will answer your question if you can answer me these questions. Try to focus and answer, how many fingers am I holding up?"
(Tatsuhiro looked at four fingers which he then said.)
"Young Tatsuhiro: Four."
"???: Can you feel any migraine?"
"Young Tatsuhiro: N-No.."
"???: Is there any continuous pain to your arms and legs?"
"Young Tatsuhiro: No...?"
"Dynnael: Then allow me to answer your question previously. My name is Dynnael, King of the Dragons. Welcome to the Dragon Realm. My son found you and quickly brought you to me as quick as he could. Luckily I was able to stop your eternal bleeding and fix several of your broken bones. You should be good as new very soon."
"Young Tatsuhiro: T-Thanks..."
(As Tatsuhiro then ate the food in front of him, Dynnael continued to get to know Tatsuhiro as he was then introduced to Choryrth, his son who saved Tatsuhiro.)

"Dynnael: So tell me if I got this right, your father.. Takeshido Magachi, evicted you and your two sisters off your planet and the three of you are just children..?"
(He nodded as Dynnael patted Tatsuhiro's head.)
"Don't you worry Tatsuhiro, you're more than welcome to remain here. I will teach you how to fight and I will take you under my wing."
"Choryrth: We're gonna have so much fun together, Tatsuhiro!"
"Young Tatsuhiro: Aww shucks.. I can't wait.."
"Dynnael: Also, I've managed to make a little call. He'll also assist you since he actually trains several of our youth dragons here."
"???: Good to see you, lad!"
(Tatsuhiro noticed the voice as it was Aimiya of Senvoinerth in his original uniform as a full fledged commander.)
"Young Tatsuhiro: Aimiya..?"
"Aimiya: Just wait, we will turn you into a fighting machine that'll rival any being ever!"

(Tatsuhiro was excited to train as he endlessly trained with Choryrth, Aimiya and Dynnael, day by day, hour by hour with nothing but intense and hardcore training as Tatsuhiro slowly became more and more resilient to his limitations as he began surpassing them every chance he had. As three years passed, Tatsuhiro was now fifteen years old as his entire body was completely ripped with no body fat but only pure, hard-gained muscle and was training with Aimiya's squad of the Dragon Realm's military whom arrived shortly later.)

"Aimiya: At ease men!"
(They all remained in a straight posture as they hinted Aimiya was not joking.)
"A lot SMARTER THAN I THOUGHT YOU WAS! NOW, WHEN YOU ALL WAS DRAFTED TO JOIN THIS MILITARY SQUAD, MOST OF YOU WAS A COUPLE OF WEAKLINGS... HATCHLINGS... NOTHING BUT SCRAP FOR THE BUZZARDS! BUT THAT ALL CHANGED WITHIN THE THREE YEARS THAT HAS PASSED! I am now honored.. to no longer call any of you hatchlings, all of you... have emerged into powerful, battle-ready dragons! It is with my pleasure to say...YOU MAGGOTS PASS!"
(Tatsuhiro did not cheer but smiled to hear the words as he was ready to kill.)
"YOU ALL ARE NOW DISMISSED! GOOD JOB SOLIDERS!"
"All: YES COMMANDER AIMIYA!"
(They all left as Tatsuhiro went to Aimiya and nodded. A while later, they've met up with Dynnael as Tatsuhiro's pod was ready.)
"Aimiya: Are you ready?"
(Tatsuhiro then swung his sword and sheathed it on his back as he was ready.)
"Teen Tatsuhiro: More than ever."
