Chapter 29:

Dragon Warrior Aftermath...

Saved By The Bell!


(With nearly two hours passing, Senri Nakamura returned from a workout retreat of mountain jogging, arriving at Chun-See-Yoon Academy via bus, only to notice a gruesome scene in front of the school's main gates. Out of panic, she then rushes to the Chun-See-Yoon dormitory to look for the group, only to notice no sign of them whatsoever.)

"Senri: H-Hunter?! Tashiro?! Indiana?! Yoshimura..?!"
"Yang: ...S-Senri, right?"

(In a quick response, she turned around to meet Daxton's roommate, Yang.)

"Senri: Yes... What happened outside..? And where is everyone..?"
"Yang: ...You're gonna wanna sit down, Nakamura."

(With the two then sitting in the dormitory lounge, explaining what has transpired within the past few hours, Senri then collapses from the couch and onto the floor, hyperventilating that she was once again, not there for Daxton or any of her friends. Meanwhile at a secondary hospital named Ryu-Jan General Hospital, specializing in severe injuries as Tashiro and Mike were resting in the waiting room from their injuries while awaiting the conditions of everyone else whom were attacked by the Dragon Warrior.)

"Tashiro: ..."

-Before the departure of paramedics-

(Tashiro was standing and watching his very friends be stretchered out of the campus by paramedics while overhearing the examinations without barely making a single movement.)

"Male Paramedic #1: The woman's name is Nai Ru Hong. There's severe pressure on the neck, it's as if she was strangled but there's no signs of strangling. She'll live but it seems like the hyoid bone's broken, we'll have to transfer her to the Emergency Room."
"Female Paramedic #1: We got a Renzo Akikatsu over here. Cracked ribs most likely, knocked unconscious from collision with the brick wall. In need of medical treatment ASAP!"
"Male Paramedic #2: Daxton Hunter.. Victim's losing too much blood, he's going to need a transfusion en route to the hospital!"
"Female Paramedic #2: Be careful, Hunter's ribs are severely damaged!"

-Now-

(Tashiro continued to zone out as he then was approached by a director among the hospital to speak with the two.)

"Director Kyong (Chairman of Ryu-Jan General Hospital): Mr. Gonkuro & Mr. Michael? We have results those affected by the incident."
"Tashiro: No sugarcoating doc, how are they...?"

"Kyong: ...Starting with the Student Counsel of the school, Miss Hong suffered a broken hyoid. We had our experts take a look and she's currently in surgery as we speak. Mr. Changgok has suffered a broken jawline and a punctured kidney, Changgok will remain here until we've found a suitable donor for him but a recovery is possible. Mr. Puwa has suffered a broken arm and his left leg was then snapped in half, surgery is needed on both limbs. And now.. the others."

(The two were then worried on the conditions of the others as Kyong then reveals them.)

"Kyong: Mr. Williams is able to physically move and interact, but the attacks he's suffered caused him to suffer from internal damage done to his intestines which has also made him unable to eat regular foods. Therefore, Mr. Williams will need to eat liquid foods until there have been signs of a successful recovery. Yoshimura Kin is to keep off of her feet for a while and avoid any fights as well, both forearms suffered severe damage along with the dislocation of her right arm. She's currently in a coma as well. Yoshimune Zoro's injuries weren't too severe on the body, but judging his head was crushed under marble, the spinal cord was damaged along with a crack on the side of his skull and the impact caused Zoro to be placed in an even deeper coma, odds are he may not awaken... And Hunter. I'm afraid the next fight Hunter battles in where he can't win, may end up being his last. His body cannot take another assault from anyone as powerful as the Dragon Warrior. His ribcage is on the verge of collapsing, we've managed to act quick on injury to his spleen and stop any bleeding he occurred. For the sake of his life, he will have to remain in the hospital for more than two months for official back to back treatment, including the others."

(With nothing but regret radiating off of Tashiro's aura, he'd feel awful for letting his friends attack and defend as he stood there, doing nothing. Suddenly, a commotion was going on in the hospital as Yoshimune Zoro was seen miraculously walking as if he was fine, doctors mesmerized despite the stitching that has reopened in his head.)

"Kyong: WHHHHHAAAAA?!?!?"
"Zoro: Oh, Gonkuro right?"
"Tashiro: ...How uh-"
"Zoro: It'll take more than bashing my head in marble to knock me unconscious, all I needed was a good hour of sleep and I'd be able to get back up."

(With the three then stitched up and sitting in silence, Mike was then the first to speak.)

"Mike: Poor kids. They all graduate Chun-See-Yoon soon."
"Tashiro: ...Damn it..."
"Zoro: ...?"
"Tashiro: I let myself become weak. Look at me, I'm sitting here with my arm in a cast and wearing an eyepatch..."
"Mike: Oh yeah... What did the doctors say?"
"Tashiro: ...Xin managed to punch my eye so far into my socket, it's lodged in there. Surgery's the only way it can be freed."
"Mike: Yikes..."
"Zoro: Serious question, how the hell was that freak so strong? Its unlike anyone I've ever fought before."
"Tashiro: ..."
"Mike: Well, that's because the Dragon Warrior is a-
"Tashiro & Mike: Superhuman. ...?!"
"Tashiro: So you know too?"
"Mike: I've long knew."
"Zoro: Well I haven't."
"Mike: Okay, I'm going to have to explain this in a way you can understand..."

(Mike then clears his throat as he then began to reveal the story of "Superhumans" and what they truly are.)

"Mike: According to what I know, during the year 1950, a group of scientists in Germany conducted a new experiment. It was a top secret experiment so any outsider would've been killed immediately if they knew. From what the data states, the Germany scientists were inviting volunteers of this experiment for a project known as "Mu3cl4 Damnat10n". This very project lasted approximately two years before it was revealed to the German population that the entire scientist lab was obliterated by freakishly strong humans, far beyond their true limitations. Ever since such news, Germany has failed to reclaim each escaped Superhuman and went into hiding from 1952 to 2009. Why 2009? The outbreak of Superhumans raided the western countries, 382 million confirmed Superhumans which has risen assault crimes to an all time high and the use of guns going down, the United States Government has barred gunfire in its entire country, not long after other countries began to follow along the United States. This resulted to all fighting being dealt with fisticuffs, including wars, making all guns incredibly useless. Sometime in 2016, the count of Superhumans died and only ones of millions remained in the western hemisphere. In 2020, a treaty was formed between the strongest human and the United Nations. All remaining Superhumans are to abide by the treaty and not engage in war with one another. And now today, the count of Superhumans today are unknown. Xin Sui, the Dragon Warrior, the first man to ever escape ADX Florence, he is a Superhuman. Which explains why even if we worked together, we could not defeat him. He's too experienced as a relentless black belt of martial arts and never was the one to ever showcase any sign of sympathy for his opponents. That's why the world is a terrifying place, plagued with powerful adversaries among the rankings. There's no doubt in my mind that Superhumans are the true replacements for what human could've been in their absolute peak."

"Tashiro: ... (Thinking): So I let myself be outshined by a steroidal martial artist..?!"

(Tashiro then picks himself up and with no words, began to walk out of the hospital, ignoring everyone who passes by as Senri was then seen running into the hospital, panicking as she was then halted by security as she was panting and out of breath.)

"Security: Whoa there! Sorry miss, you can't go in without a visitor pass."
"Senri: S-Sorry..! But this.. is urgent..! My friends are in.. there!"
"Security: Just calm down and sign in as a guest, you'll be able to see your friends."

(As Senri then does so, she then rushes to noticed Zoro and a new individual she is not aware of but is quick to ask Zoro what is everyone's condition.)

"Senri: Z-Zoro!! What happened..?! Where is everyone's rooms?!"
"Zoro: Nakamura, I'd like for you to settle down please. I'd love to tell you but you won't get answers by shouting out of panic."
"Senri: ...!"
"Zoro: Listen. Just prepare for the worst, I can't make promises if something happens to anyone of the group. But just be lucky you were gone, because the Dragon Warrior is too much for someone like you to even handle."
"Senri: ...I.. I just want to be strong..."

(Meanwhile across Korea, Special Forces were continuously hunting for Xin Sui who is currently hiding in an undisclosed location, away from the cameras and the public eye has he as escaped successfully from the forces but was mesmerized by the amount of pain he felt in the fight with Tashiro and Mike.)

"Xin: Hehehe... Seems like I'll have to remain in Korea for a while, at least until those kids graduate... Then when it comes down to it, I'll slaughter ever last one! But first, I'll have to weaken Tashiro and Mike a bit further, then I kill those kids..."
"???: By killing them, you'll kill Daxton Hunter as well?"

(With the quick throw of a knife, the very blade was gripped out of midair as the mysterious voice appeared to be Chun-See-Yoon's current male champion, Ryom Hi-Seok.)

"Ryom: How about we make a little deal, Dragon Warrior...?"
