68 What a World

Hiro snickered and backed up, tossing Anbu's sword on the floor.

They ran toward each other, throwing punches one after the other, slowly hitting each other.

"You were created to be the strongest? That's funny." Hiro said, kicking him back to the ground.

Anbu stood back up and ran back toward Hiro with his fists out. They fought for quite some time, neither letting the other overpower them.

As the fight continued, they collided, and both fell to the floor.

"Where do you want me to go? My lord."

"Watch over this world. I must rest. I'll wake up when the time comes." Thunder God replied.

"But what is my purpose? And what am I watching out for."

"You'll be the one to destroy the next generation whatever path they take; you'll shut it down."

"I am.. the strongest," Hiro muttered.

Hiro got back up quickly and picked up the sword.

He looked toward Anbu, who was in a meditating position.

"What are you doing?" Hiro asked.

"I've dug two graves for us," Anbu answered.

Before Hiro said anything, the world shook, and a very ancient Gold dragon appeared and flew into the air.

"Do you genuinely seek what you plan to do, Master Anbu?" the dragon said.

"Yes.." Anbu said with a smile.

Hiro tried to run toward Anbu, but the dragon's wings held him back, and Anbu stared at the Hiro, who could barely stand.

Dragon's True Cores: Endless Sleep.

The dragon grabbed onto Anbu and Hiro.

"Oh my, what a world the things I've seen. Hiro, when we first met, I introduced myself as a warrior who never loses. I hope you know I still am." Anbu said with a grin as he crystallized along with Hiro by his side, who was frozen in a yelling position.

Kuzan returned to his hang out, and this ringing in his head kept him unbalanced, crashing into things.

Sin walked in and saw Kuzan standing in a mess

"What happened here" Sin commented.

Kuzan walked toward Sin "please help me."

"Help you with what?" Sin replied.

"NOT YOU," Kuzan yelled.

Before Sin could reply, a beam shot out of Sin's chest and made him fall to the floor unconscious.

"You wish to seek an audience with me, huh, child of hatred," Takemikazuchi said.

"What..has...Hiro..done to me.." Kuzan said.

"Nothing really; he's triggered your hatred which stems from the Saito clan," he answered.

Kuzan was going to say something, but the Thunder God cut him off

"It appears that Hiro has been taken out of action." He said.

"Now is when you must free me from my chains and dethrone those hypocritical Gods."

Kuzan got on the floor and grabbed his head.

"How do you feel right now." The Thunder God asked.

"I feel like dying," Kuzan replied.

"You can die after we complete what we came for."

The Thunder God returned to Sin.

Zenkai told Hago of the gate that opened up, and the Aces of Jadia and Hago went to Feronia.

There they met Milo, other Rankers, Kazuha, and many more who stood before the gate.

"Seems everyone is ready to go, I guess," Zenkai said.

They entered through the gate and followed after the Phantom Twelve
