462 462. Allies Gather

Meanwhile, halfway across the world in a desert terrain, Hongo mentally frowned at what they were doing. Especially when Kentaro almost killed two innocent civilians, a woman and her child, who only happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. He, of course, stopped it. However, this sense of needless slaughter wasn't what he wanted. With that in mind, he turned to leave after making sure the civilians had made it out safely.

USA, California, Strak Mansion

After finding about the two people that Kenichi asked him to find Tony was having many sleepless night as he was genuinely afraid that any moment someone from YAMI would come for him.

When he found baout this group he thought it was just another radical group but after doing some research he knew how powerful some of these people are and how weak he really is infront of them something which he didn't so he started to make something which will help overcome these people. Tony was going to built an armor for himself just like he said to Kenichi he would.

The first problem that he had was the energy but he already had a solution for it now all he had to do was make it applicable.

"Ok Jarvis, let's start project Mark 1" Tony stated

"At once sir" came Jarvis's voice as he brought out a hologram for Tony who started to get busy. Thanks to Kenichi, Iron Man may come much earlier than it should have but that's what you call butterfly effect.

So they're gone," stated Kenichi as he arrived at school, only to see Sho, Hayate, Elfreda, Chikage, and Natsu had all disappeared from Koryo High.

"Yep. Recalled by Yomi," nodded Niijma.

"Well it looks like the final fight will be coming soon" Kenichi said "It's good that my mother won an all-expense-paid trip to Hawaii for 5. Since I already rejected she invited Natsu and Kaede, but Natsu declined, saying he had business to take care of while urging Kaede to go."

"About that shouldn't you have directly given it to them instead of making me do it in such a round about way" Niijima asked

"Nope this is the best way that it won't create any suspicious on me you don't know my mother well if she even suspects a little them she would have rejected to go" Kenichi said shaking his head.

Though Saori didn't like it, Mototsuga allowed it as he could see the firm conviction behind Kenichi's eyes. Mototsuga, of course, bawled his eyes out when Kenichi left the house to return to Ryozanpaku. Although Kenichi had been staying in there house from time to time but since he didn't wanted them to get caught in crossfire anymore he decided to have his family go out of the country so that they remain safe. Ofcourse he still send some masters from Zaishin-Taisha Ryuu to follow them and protect them.

"It's time we talk about some of the important things with others since Yami is moving we should start as well call everyone it's time we tell them what Yami truly wants to do." Kenichi stated

"But will they really belive it!? Even I am having a hard time believing that they are ready to do such a thing let alone others. I don't think they will belive it without you taking them about your spy. And really who is this spy I thought Kyoichi was the only informant we had but even he didn't find as much as you have" Niijima stated

"Just do it Niijima is up too them to believe it or not. I know my master's will believe me so will my friends I don't really care about others. It's just I will feel responsible if I will not tell them that's all" Kenichi said while he shrugged his shoulders.

Knowing that Kenichi will not tell him about this spy of his so he decided to drop the subject.

Shinpaku Main Base

All fighting members of the Shinpaku Alliance were present at the main base, where Niijima had called them all to gather.

"Damn, Niijima is going all out," commented Takeda as he piled his plate with food, "I wonder why?"

Niijima had taken the liberty of ordering a buffet for them all, much to their surprise. All they knew was that it was an important meeting, and that nobody was allowed to miss it. Not only that, but Niijima had invited all the masters who had been present to counter Yami when they announced their plans.

"Must be because of Yami," replied Freya, "They've publicly announced themselves to the world, so Niijima is probably making up plans to counter them."

"Whatever it is, he's got a sweet spread!" grinned Ukita as he ripped a piece of meat off a chicken leg.

"Don't act so barbaric, chew your food before you talk," scolded Shiratori, kicking Ukita in the knee.

Not only were the Shinpaku members and Ryozanpaku in attendance, but even a few others not officially a part of the Shinpaku Alliance had made it in, such as Renka's uncle, Hakubei, along with his two disciples and the Santoryu team, the Tanaka family, the Yamamoto family, the Busujima Family along with their disciples ,Jennifer Gray along with Phil Coulson and the Pankration team was present as well.

Renka looked around to see that somehow there were a lot of couples in here. Ukita and Shiratori were sharing a table with Chisato and Takeda, and it was obvious that each pair was dating each other despite their arguments. She herself was sitting on the table with Kenichi, Miu, Saeko, Kaname, Kisara, Natasha, Rukia and Shigure. Anyone else seeing would know that all of them were Kenichi's girlfriend seeing the jealous look some of the low level members of the Shinpaku Alliance were giving them were enough but some elders were staring at them though the reason was different. The Tanaka couple was sitting by themselves playing with Kairi.

"Gahaha, looks like one of you disciple has gotten quite close to mine!" laughed Shiba as he sat at another table with Danki. Joining them were Bearman and Tsuji, who looked elated to have his pseudo-master down in the city with him.

"Indeed," laughed Danki as he slurped on some noodles,

While the two masters were gossiping about their respective disciples, at another table, Sakaki was quietly sweating in nervousness. The main reason was that Jennifer Gray sitting on his left, holding a fork full of spaghetti to feed him. Phil Coulson who was sitting beside her couldn't help but smile helplessly at her antics.

The ex-children of Fortuna ended up mingling with the logistics team and the Valkyries.

"So, which one are you dating?" asked Chisato, vice-leader of the Valkyries, to Iris and Octavia, the girls of the Pankration team, "Those three boys of yours look quite nice."

The two teenagers glanced at each other before shrugging.

"None," replied Iris, "It's hard to see them as boyfriend material at all since we were all raised together, with Spartacus being the eldest brother, when we were kids. We trusted each other, looked out for each other, and have already bathed with each other."

"Nakedly?" gasped the members of Valkyrie.

"It was to conserve water and time," replied Octavia, "We really didn't have any thoughts about procreation during our time with Fortuna. We've had a crash course about it since then, but none of us can really think of our brothers anything but brothers, and vice-versa."

"So does that mean they're free?" asked Yoko with a blush.

"Yes" replied the two at once giving the Valkyries ideas of their own.

"Ahem, may I have your attention please?"
