As Lily walks to her throne and slowly sits, Goa, Rima, Jr, and I step forward. As Lily sits she speaks "You far exceeded my expectations, Drew. You're power… Is simply beautiful." As she looks me In the eyes she grew a warm smile. I couldn't help but adore It, It's the same smile from when we were kids. But this wonderful feeling was short-lived by Goa's loud outburst "HA! As If! I held back! As much as I would like to see his body broken and… and…" She quickly becomes lost In her own fantasy of gore and death unable to finish her thought. Lily couldn't help but giggle, as she did she continued speaking "Tehee. Well If there's a next time I would love to see both of fight until your no more." Goa snaps back and replies with the most cheerful voice, "I would love that sister!" I quickly interject "Uhh, I mean I guess? But anyway, now that I've proved myself what exactly do I do now?" Rima quickly walks over to me and starts babbling a bunch of sounds and moving In some weird erotic way( ╯°□°)╯. I slowly shake my head and try to answer her "Sorry. But I don't really understand what you saying. Maybe write It down?" But all she does Is stand In front of me shaking her head and making a disappointed face (;⌣̀_⌣́). Goa couldn't help but laugh along with Jr who chimed In "Bruh, you stupid! She said now you must cut ties with the past to build a future with Lily. HAHAHA!" I roll my eyes and smack my lips before answering "How did you even understand that? It was just a bunch of random noises and movements!" Jr's face Is filled with confidence and he speaks with conviction "I mean she talks like a kid. I'ma kid… See where this Is going?" I roll my eyes and nod, I look back at Rima. As she stands there, I take a good look at her. She has wavy, dirty brown hair that falls to her hips. It moves almost on Its own, like snakes. Her complexion Is light brown, with a slight tan. She's only slightly shorter than me, but I can't really tell how big she Is cause of the black cloak she's wearing. It has a strange white symbol scattered all around, It somewhat looks like a star In a circle. Also, she has no shoes. As Rima stands there she grows more and more impatient (ಠ_ಠ). Until Lily breaks the silence "That Is correct! Everyone here has done It so It's only fair that you do as well. So For you to truly join the Holy Dark, you must…" Rima quickly falls back In line, and everyone including me places their eyes on Lily as she continues "Destroy C.U.G!" I let out a deep sigh before saying "Really? Why must I do that?" Lily takes a brief second before answering "Why you ask. Well, the reason why Is that not only did you use to work for the government, but your last living relative also works for them too, and Is fairly high In rank." I try to keep a straight face but It's hard. How did she know about my past along with Zack? Not only Is that classified but Zack doesn't go out on random missions so her knowledge of him should be even less. I clear my throat and say "How did you know I worked for the government?" Lily couldn't help but giggle before going on "Teehee. Well, we meet each other not only once, but twice. When you use to work In the watermelon shop." I couldn't believe her words. But as I think back, there was always 1 female that came In every week and ordered the same thing. I smiled and said "Mini watermelon fruit sandwiches cut In the shape of Dragons with a side of sparkling-infused watermelon water. Ha!" Lily returns the smile and stands, as she walks toward me she talks "You remembered! Maybe you can make it again sometime. But only If do what I ask." She stops mere inches away from me. She wears the same cloak as Rima, but this time I can tell she has a nice body. Mature as one would say. Her black hair Is still dull, and straight. It hasn't grown much since the last time I saw her. It rests peacefully on her shoulders, but the one thing that stands out about her most Is her eyes. A deep blue-green, as If I'm staring into the ocean Itself. I get lost In my thoughts for what seems like hours, to be brought back by the simple touch of her. As her finger starts on my chin she slowly moves It to my left cheek and pinches It. I quickly, but quietly respond to the pinch "Ow…" As Lily let go, she turned around while laughing. Rima joins In as well (⁀ᗢ⁀). I slowly bring my hand up to my left cheek and say "Well. Someone very dear to me said to always remember that this life Is yours, and to live for yourself." Jr quickly spoke up "Ain't no way you finna do this big bro! Stop thinking with your dick and use your head! If you go through with this you'll be a criminal, wanted by damn near every country In Kansai!" As I bring my hand back down I say "Can you give me a minute Lily?" Lily nods and starts to walk back to her throne. I quickly move over to where Jr Is and take him to the corner of the room. We huddle up and talk about the offer, I go first "Come on Jr, don't do me like this!" Jr shakes his head and says "Bro, at first they sounded cool. But when they said attack C.U.G that's where they lost me, and you too right?" I look at him with a nervous smile, but before I could say anything Jr smacks his lips and goes on "Nah! Are you really thinking about It, huh?" I reply "I mean… Kinda, not only will we have a place to stay. We'll have food too. Along with beautiful girls surrounding us! Come on Jr! Aye maybe you and Rima?" Jr just stares at me with a blank face and says "I'm 10. I could care less for the girls, I'm more worried about my training and well being big bro. The benefits are nice but at cost of what? Our freedom! If your wanted I'm wanted and that shit seems like more trouble than what It Is." I roll my eyes and respond "You got big bro to protect you, along with the other members. Look!" Jr and I both turn around and look. Rima Is just dancing and having the time of her life ╰(*´︶`*)╯. We shift our eyes at Goa, but she's stuck In a weird fantasy of blood and death. Almost like she's getting off to the idea of killing someone. Finally Lily, but all she's doing Is laughing at the other 2. Jr and I enter the huddle again, this time Jr goes first "These girls are a bunch of clowns. One of them can't even speak words and that says a lot coming from me. The other Is a killing machine with no thoughts other than her next kill. That leaves the leader, automatically she seems normal but when you think about It she lives with these clowns, so she's crazy by association!" I couldn't help but laugh a lil before replying "That's what makes It interesting! Anyway, we can still train and we have more sparring partners. Look at It like this, the crazier the better! Am I right?" Jr shakes his head In defeat, he lets out a small sigh before saying "Fine… But! If this shit starts getting really evil, we out!" I jump for joy while picking Jr up and giving him a big hug while saying "Thanks bro! I promise you, you'll have fun!" As I spin around In excitement Jr says "Whatever… We better train too!" I put Jr down and swiftly make my way back over to the others. As I get back In line with the others I clear my throat and say "Lily. I would love to attack C.U.G!" Lily was surprised, but responded "O, I see. Well then let us start the final test of your loyalty. Before we go Is there anything you need?" I take a few seconds to think, and eventually, I speak "Actually there Is. Do you think I can get one of the cloaks there kinda clean?" Goa snaps out of her gore fantasy and quickly piggie backs off what I said "You ain't earn shit! These cloaks show your dedication to Lily's cause along with your promise to her." Before I could even answer her Lily cut me off with a giggle before saying "It's ok Goa, I think he's earned that much." Goa rolls her eyes In disbelief, but she doesn't argue. Lily claps her hands and stands while speaking in a soft commanding voice "Well then, let's start heading towards C.U.G."

6 Hour Later

As Drew and the others slowly approach the east wall of C.U.G. he takes some time to ask Lily and the others some questions, "Are we going to attack together, or Is this more of a solo thing?" Goa quickly answers but with an annoyed tone "You'll be doing this by yourself. This will also be another way to see your strength, so fight with everything you have!" As she finishes her sentence, she turns toward me, raises her arms, and flexes her muscles. Even though she's wearing the same baggy cloak as the others the sheer definition of her muscles Is amazing. Drew continues the conversation "What's your workout? Overhead press, push-ups, farmer walks, what Is It?" Goa laughs loudly as she answers "HAHA! Those are a good start but are too easy! Let's say all my workouts come from the battles I fight. I grow In strength as I continue to fight and If I survive, which I always do. My power Is multiplied!" I nod my head and slowly turn towards Jr walking next to me and quietly say "Maybe there a lil crazy…" Jr laughs a lil while responding "Aye, what did you say earlier… hmmm… The crazier the better! Haha!" I let out a deep sigh and go back to walking. After about 30 minutes we come to a stop. Right in front of us stands C.U.G. As we admire the view, a nice warm breeze blows through us. Carrying the smell of chocolate. As I take In the smell Jr eagerly says "What's that smell?" Before Lily could answer Rima runs off to the fields toward the north. As she gets disappears into the shrubs Lily says "The smell comes from the 5-leaf akebia. As the fruit ripens It splits open and gives off a chocolate aroma." Just as Lily finished, Rima comes bursting out of the field of shrubs carrying handfuls of them. As she rejoins the group, she slowly approaches Jr and hands him a few with the biggest, happiest, smile on her face (*^‿^*). Jr takes them and tries them out. As he eats one after the other like a heathen, Rima walks around passing some to all of us. We all go to take a seat under the only tree throughout the sea of 5-star shrubs. As we sit together eating and enjoying each other's company, Jr starts to talk with a full mouth "So… We finna chill here while big bro goes and attacks?" As Lily finishes eating she answers Jr "Yes. You are more than welcome to stay with us. Maybe you can tell us more about your travels before meeting us!" Jr crawls over to Rima and starts to eat some of the akebia's while saying "Yeah, I guess that's cool. Don't take forever bro." As he continues to stuff his mouth he laughs a lil. I look out at the east wall and remember my first time seeing C.U.G, trying to get directions to the recruitment building to join the government. Along with my first real friend Ay. I couldn't help but smile while saying "Do It or don't do It. You'll regret both." Before Lily ate her last akebia she turned toward me and commented on what I said "Whoever told you that lived their life to the fullest. They had zero doubt in their heart, and so should you. Like you said earlier live your life the way you want to." As she turns back to take her last bite, I couldn't help but stare. Even In the shade, her brown complexion shimmered with the soft, mid-day summer light. Alongside the sharp contrast of her dull black hair. As I stare, even more, the feeling of fighting for something that words can't even explain fills my body. Not a single battle up until this point have I ever felt this way. Even fighting side by side with X. Rima takes notice and stands. She walks over to me and karate chops my head, snapping me back. As I go to rub my head she starts saying a bunch of gibberish and points at Lily and then back at me (」><)」. But when I go to look at Lily again her face Is bright red. I quickly speak up "What did she say?" Goa and Jr just laugh while Lily struggles to say "I really don't want to repeat what she said, but let's just say she's rooting for you." Slightly confused I respond "Okay? I guess…" Just as Goa finished laughing she started to talk "Maybe you can offer a reward based on his performance Lily?" Jr falls over dying of laughter while Rima, Me, and Goa all turn and look at Lily. her face becomes even brighter but she still finds a way to speak "I…I mean, I suppose. But what would the reward be?" Rima happily jumps up In the air making random sounds but she started to make an eating motion (っ˘ڡ˘ς). Goa nods her head In agreement with what Rima said while saying "Not a bad idea! Lily did say he was a decent cook. How about it Lily?" Lily's face starts to go back to normal while she talked "I agree too! So Drew." Lily turns to look at me and continues to speak "If you do well how about we go on a picnic as a group? Maybe you can cook one of the special watermelon dishes too!" She eagerly sits up and waits for a response. I take a deep breath and try and play It cool "I mean that sounds pretty cool." Jr starts to wheeze, saying "You can't make this stuff up! HAHAHA!" Rima couldn't help but smile a lil bit too, Goa, on the other hand, says "Tell me Jr this can't be the first time, right?" Jr barely able to reply does "It sure has! Not just once either. All he does Is drop the bag! HAHAHAHA!" Goa joins In, and even Lily laughs. Slightly annoyed I stand and with confidence exclaim "Alright! I'm heading out. It shouldn't take me long. Don't cause any trouble Jr." Goa starts to stand and makes her way over to me while saying "Well then Drew, good luck and gods speed. You'll need It!" Then she thrusts her fist into my chest. I could feel her energy, she truly wants me to succeed. I smile and say "Thanks! I'll show the government what the Holy Dark can do!" As she removes her fist, I take a few steps back until I'm out of the shade of the tree. I take one last look at everyone before pulling out my sword. I point my blade toward the sky and say "You ready Dravity?" The blade starts to faintly grow purple and eventually started to speak "Though you never asked!" I look up at the sky and say "Gravity Materia: Zero Gravity." And with just a simple push off the ground Drew goes flying into the sky, the sheer force sent thousands of 5-star akebia into the air. As they rain down Rima and Jr run around trying to catch them while Goa stands and laughs. Lily couldn't help but giggle and say quietly, "Show me the reality you live to fight for Drew."

As I climb higher and higher into the sky, I slowly clear my mind. Void of useless thoughts and emotions. Only thinking about the task at hand, I slowly come to a stop. I scan over the city, watching as the people commute to their everyday job or task. The screams of crying, ungrateful kids, and the natural sound of the city fill my ears. I start to think to myself "Man. Just like old times, hehe. The place where I started my journey. I hope Ay got stronger at least. It's been a long YeaR. Well, no point In stalling." I stick my blade out parallel to the ground and say "Now I just have to increase the gravity of my blade… Let's say about… 50 folds. At this height, only the northeast capital should be destroyed. That should be more than enough to make the government move." As Drew releases the sword from his hand, It starts to pick up more and more speed. Back under the tree In the fields of akebia's, Goa brings her right hand up to her face to block the sun. As she squints her eyes she says "How high up do you think he Is?" Lily takes a few seconds before answering "He has to at least be at a minimum height of 828m for It to be anywhere else wouldn't nearly cause enough panic." Jr, Goa, and even Rima all turn to look at Lily with the most confused face (•ิ_•ิ)? Lily gives a lil smile while saying "What? I looked into his power. I wouldn't tell him to go alone If I didn't believe he could at least win." Rima rolls her eyes and goes back to eating akebias with Jr. But what Lily said piqued Goa's interest and she asked a few questions "So what exactly Is his power? For the most part, he just uses a sword right?" Lily answers "Your only half right. He Is the current Sword Master, Isn't that right Jr." Jr stops stuffing his face and replies "Yeah! Every time I see bro pick up the sword he does something I've never seen before." Goa quickly started to talk after Jr "Seems like he was holding back In our fight. What else can this Sword Master do?" Lily starts to stand and walk to Goa's side. As she comes to a stop she looks up at Drew In the sky and says "His sword Is a divine weapon. A Dragon variant called Dravity. This gives him absolute control over gravity." Goa too shocked to believe what Lily said starts to shake her head In disbelief, but before she could reply Jr spoke up "How do you know so much about Drew? Even If you did meet him a few times while he worked at the watermelon shop he never really talked about his sword training or even Dravity." Lily nodded her head In agreement as she answered "For me to answer that I must explain my abilities, but It's easier to show than to tell." Jr chews slowly and takes a few seconds to think. But just before he could speak up a loud explosion can be heard coming from C.U.G. A portion of the west wall was completely destroyed along with everyone and everything that belonged to the northeast capital. A few seconds go by, then the aftershock of the explosion hit everyone. Goa and Lily stand unphased while Rima and Jr hang on to the tree for dear life. As the smoke and debris cleared Drew started to stretch and say "Now, where to start? Maybe I should start with the high-rank officials that made me clean for hours or do night watch." Drew slowly makes his descent to C.U.G, and as he gets closer to his sword he takes a look around and slowly realizes the level of destruction he's caused. There's not a building standing for miles, along with all the people that were just here… Gone. As Drew lands and grabs his sword, he says "Damn…" But just as Drew starts to walk away a loud noise can be heard from a few meters away, the rubble started to move and the sound grew louder and louder until something broke free from underneath. There In front of Drew stands… Ay. Covered In dirt and blood he stands over the few kids that he was able to protect. Drew excitedly starts to walk over to him while saying "AY! What's the deal? Have you been doing good?" But the closer Drew got the more the kids showed terror until Ay finally spoke "It's okay. I'll protect you." The kids nod and stand behind him. Drew confused says "Come on. It ain't that bad." As Ay's hands turn into fists he lividly starts to speak "You never came back, not even to visit. It's been a YeaR, you never called, sent a message, not even a letter. Jessica and I thought you were dead. X stopped speaking about you altogether and eventually stopped visiting the shop too. It was hard to move on, you were the first person I could truly call my rival. My friend. The time we spent training, working at the shop, doing missions, and even hanging out. These showed me there's more to my life than killing and revenge. It motivated me to become a better person. YOU! Inspired me to become the best person I can be. It took months to accept that you won't come back." Ay puts his head down but continues to speak "Then the first thing you do Is show up, destroy a whole city that you once protected, along with killing thousands If not even more than that. Kids, moms, dads, grandparents, and whole families. All dead just like that." Tears fall from Ay's face while the kids hug him. As he goes to wipe the tears Drew speaks up "I'll put It like this…" But before he could Ay cut him off "Nothing you say can even come close to justifying what you did. You attacked the one place that people can go to when they have nothing left. Like me. Like you…" A brief silence falls between us, all Drew could hear were the sniffles of the kids crying and the tears of Ay hitting the ground. Drew was left speechless, he's never seen Ay like this. He couldn't even think of anything to say back. Ay wipes his tears once more, picks his head up, and says "Now that I got that off my chest I can deal with the matter at hand. I'm here to stop you and take you In. Your choices are nothing but evil, and the fact you can't see that…" Drew looks at Ay then the kids and shakes his head. After a couple of seconds, Drew says "Let me ask the kids a question?" No response from anyone. Drew smiles a lil while saying "Do you think I'm evil?" All the kids yelled and started calling him names, But Drew did nothing but laugh, as each second passed his laugh grew more and more sinister. Until he stopped and said, "If you say my choices are evil, then that's what I'll be." The air around Drew shifted to the point the kids noticed and began to cry. Ay quickly told them to head to the nearest government building to request help. Drew couldn't help but laugh at his request, as he did he spoke "There going to be walking for a while, maybe a few miles. HAHA!" But Ay doesn't fall for the cheap taunt instead, he heads back to the rubble and starts looking for something. After a few minutes, he finds what he was looking for. Drew starts to talk "Still got that crusty ass spear. Even with all that training you still don't use the sword." Ay responds "I use one of the four major weapons from my country. It's a constant reminder of why I seek strength. Something you probably don't understand." Drew rolls his eyes at that remark. He takes his sword, drives It into the ground, and says "If I'm going to be honest. I don't think I need my sword for this fight. I can beat you with my bare hands." Ay grips his sha spear with all his might, and In the most unforgiving and emotionless tone says "Enough talk. Do what you want. I'm taking you In no matter the condition you are In." Drew couldn't help but laugh until he was crying, damn near rolling on the ground. Ay's anger gets the best of him and he rushes Drew.

Ay quickly closed the gap between them. Drew stood there waiting for him to swing as he came into striking distance. Calmly Ay spoke "Spear Skill: Plate 2, Kitsutsuki." Ay relentlessly released a flurry of stabs and lunges at Drew. Each with the strength to kill. They dance around the destroyed city at blistering speeds. Drew couldn't help but smile while dodging each strike without breaking a sweat. Eventually, Ay picks up In speed, and more and more strikes come forth. For every single movement, Ay did It was doubled. For every one strike, It was counted as two. Drew surprised, matched his speed until there was nothing but afterimages of where they once were. They both come to a halt back to where they started and look each other In the eyes. One is filled with justice and love of others, while the other Is simply void of all things that don't help his cause. Ay closes his eyes and says "Blink Skill: Look Quick!" As he opens his eyes he closes them once again, but this time he vanished. Drew amazed spoke up "So you finally mastered It. Well looks like I can take It up a notch." Drew takes a deep breath and releases Dravity's life energy throughout his body, slowly Materia started to swirl around him creating a purple aura. As he finished he spoke "It doesn't matter how fast you are or how long you blink, I can see you. Nothing gets past these eyes. I sense your very life." At that moment Ay appeared behind Drew and stood back to back. Ay eventually speaks up "Not only did I master It, but I also evolved It as well. It is more than just blinking my eyes to the next location. I can close my eyes and stay hidden until I open them again. My presence Is completely hidden." Drew quickly swings his left arm behind him but Ay vanished. Drew tries to sense for him… But Ay wasn't lying, his entire being Is gone. Drew's sword starts to glow and then speaks "Told you! You should have practiced more! Without me, your senses are now better than a bitch ass Demon!" Drew replies "I KNOW! SO SHUT UP!" As Drew stands there trying to find any sign of where Ay Is, that's when he strikes. Ay appears directly In front of Drew and confidently says "Spear Skill: Plate 1, True Cross!" Instantly Ay moved his spear from his left to the right and created an X. Drew unfazed by the attack goes to grab Ay by the neck, but he swiftly closes his eyes and disappears. Drew annoyed says "Man, come on! Let me get my one hit In!" Ay continues the barrage of sudo-instant attacks but each time he gets a clean hit. Nothing, not even a drop of blood. As Ay throws one true cross after another he starts to think to himself "Even though I'm making direct contact with his body, not a single scratch Is being made. I'm lucky that he Isn't using his sword. FUCK! Even now I still can't beat him. I have to think…" Ay stops the barrage of crosses and reappears a few meters In front of Drew. Drew doesn't let the opportunity go and swiftly rushes Ay. Just a mere arm's length away Drew begins throwing countless jabs, crosses, hooks, uppercuts, and elbows at speeds you could only imagine. If one of these even grazes Ay he's done for. Drew becomes more and more locked In, gaining speed, and finding new openings, new rotations jabs, and crosses. It takes Ay everything he has to dodge, cause blocking wasn't an option. The sword glows a cool purple again and says "Aye tighten up, you getting sloppy out there!" Ay starts to get frustrated and yells while dodging for his life "YOU THINK THIS IS SOME KIND OF TRAINING? YOU KILL THOUSANDS SO YOU CAN FIGHT?" Drew pays no attention to him, he only tightens up his movements. Ay yells once more "BLINK SKILL: QUICK LOOK!" He closed his eyes and disappeared, but Drew was ready for that and said "Predictable! You always go behind!" Drew pivoted on his left foot while carrying his momentum he quietly said "Dragon Skill: Dragon Claw." His right hand changed into a Dragon. Ay reappears behind him just like he said but this time instead of dodging he said these words "Spear Skill: Plate 3, Full Counter." Just as Drew's claw made contact with Ay's spear an explosion goes off. As the smoke slowly fades and the debris settles, Ay Is filled with fear. Drew broke through the counter with sheer strength and gripped Ay's head. He didn't even struggle, But Drew shook his head as If he was disappointed and said "For 1 YeaR this Is all you achieved? I give you props where they're due, you got faster and mastered your skill. Even evolved It…" Drew slowly picked Ay up by his head, his feet leaving the ground. Helpless, check mate. Drew continues "The power you got was easy. Maybe a few hard battles here and there. Nothing like the things I had to go threw, just to simply survive. To live." They look each other In the eyes… Instantly Drew slams Ay into the ground head-first. Over and over and over again, screams of agony and despair come from Ay. The ground slowly became soaked In his blood. Drew takes a knee and slowly leans into Ay's left ear and says "In this past YeaR I not only died at the hands of my brother. Revived by the Prince of Dragons, Dravity. Then told the government was a lie, this whole system a lie. After that I was hunted by the same government I worked for and believed In. After that, I trained day In and day out until my hands bled until I was exhausted. I got my ass beat until I couldn't feel It anymore." Ay tries to push himself up but Drew slams him into the ground again. He picks him up and goes on "I'm not done! After that, I learned the truth about our world leaders and what they're working towards, along with the power they hold. If you scared now, you a bitch." As Drew raises Ay up one more time he says his final words "I'm the current Sword Master, and I used this power to achieve your dream! I saved the Yin clan from a state of constant civil war. I DID THAT! I DID ALL THIS IN 1 YeaR! What have you done?" At that very moment, Ay's will, his pride, and everything he stood for were crushed. Drew takes a deep breath and shakes his head while slamming Ay's head back into the ground.

As Drew stands Dravity begins to talk "Not bad, but you were sloppy." Drew starts to stretch while replying to Dravity "Yeah, yeah. He was just a warm-up, the real fight starts now." At that very moment, a large aircraft comes into view overhead. In a matter of seconds, 4 individuals jumped and landed In the most elegant way just a few meters in front of Drew. As he smiles he talks "You guys must have practiced that. Not a bad entrance. Still not better than mine tho. Zack." Zack takes a look around and notices the body behind Drew. Drew speaks up "Don't worry about him. He won't get In our way. How about you introduce me to your team?" Zack inspects Drew and starts thinking, "What's up with the cloak? A white star in a circle…" One of the members speaks out "Who the fuck are you?" Another member responds "Now where are your manners Rame? This Is the next heir of the Johnsons. Drew Johnson." Rame rolls his eyes while responding "And. What's that supposed to mean? Anyway let's get this over with, It's almost time for me to clock out." Zack finally speaks "Why did you do this Drew?" Drew slowly walks over to Dravity and pulls It out of the ground. While he does that one of the other members says "He wields the prince." Drew's sword glows once more and starts to talk "Well, well, well. If It Isn't Drice!" Rame interjects "Another Dragon I see. Man, this just got even lamer than It already was. Zack, you said this would be over quickly." Drew starts to laugh while Zack answers "I know. I didn't realize how much stronger he's gotten since the last time I saw him. Quimica, start getting ready." Quimica takes a seat and closes his eyes, Drew takes this time to ask a few questions "So we got Rame, Qumica, Drice, and lil bro. How's the government been treating you?" Rame answers "Ya know, same old same old. No overtime, mid benefits, shitty jobs." At that point, Drice picks up where Rame left off "Enough chit chat, why are you here? And where did you get Dravity?" Drew looks down at his blade and says "Well I'm here to cause some chaos. And the sword, let's say Its a gift from an important person." Zack quickly spoke up "Father. You found out." Drew smiles and points at Zack while saying "Right! But enough about father. I'm here to do my job just like you are here to do yours. So how about we start!" Zack lets out a deep sigh and calls out to Quimica, he responds "Still need some more time young Zackiray!" Drew couldn't help but laugh at his response. Quimica confused says "What's so funny?" But before he could answer an alarm goes off and Rame pops off while saying "Well It's been nice meeting you Drew, but I'ma head out. Time to go play some games, maybe hop on ranked…" As Rame turns around, Drice and Quimica shake their heads. But before Zack could even say anything, Drew appeared right in front of Rame without a sound. But to his surprise, Rame wasn't scared. He sighs and says "Aye bro I'm off the clock. Fight them." Drew smiles and replies "I like your style, where you from?" Rame rests his left arm on his daisho before answering "Nara. What's up?" Drew nods his head and asks some more questions "Well, You must know X then right?" Rame nods, while Drew goes on "Well let's say I've acquired the title Sword Master." Rame starts to pick his nose and answers "So. Does that make you better than me?" Drew chuckles before saying "I only say that cause I noticed you carry a daisho. Just thought you might be able to see my side, ya know?" As Rame finishes picking his nose he flicks a booger at Drew. It sticks to his forehead. He couldn't help but smile as he talked "Nah. We may both study the blade but our purpose Is different. I could care less what happens most of the time. As long as I can live my life In peace, I'm good." Rame starts to walk past Drew but stops side by side with him. As he stops Drew says "No point In trying to persuade you then. Would have been nice. Anyway, let's get started!"
