Kyle finally arrived at one of the many empty fields of Uma's fortress, walking out onto the sea-accompanied field as he sensed something he couldn't forget - the sense of Stella. He took a few steps before halting completely, holding his breath and waiting for Stella to appear. "I know you're here, Stella," he said, confirming his sense of her presence lingering around. "It's been multiple years since we've seen each other, but I never thought you would sell your soul to a mentally unstable man and get promoted to one of the highest ranks in his gover-"
"Shut up," Stella replied.
"I was just trying to comm-"
"Shut the fuck up."
She then leaped out of one of the many trees on the field with her sword drawn, but was countered with Kyle's bare hands. He took the tip of the sword and threw it along with her, causing her to stumble onto the ground. "You still think useless sneak attacks will work against me?" he asked, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it using his body heat.
"Why do you try to pursue me so much?" she asked, questioning her meaning in life. "All those years ago, I told you that the sea would turn red with your blood if you tried to come after me!"
Kyle chuckled while pulling his sword out of the case. "Because, I share a relationship with you deeper than any other."
Shortly after the events of Hamila had been released to the world, multiple reactions sparked an uproar of chaos and freedom. Now that the Romanti Clan had fully disbanded, Team ENTITY had succeeded in their fateful mission of getting their second-strongest soldier, Gerald Romanti, back from their clutches. Now, Team ENTITY was sailing back to the Land Of Trila - where their alternative mission that they had not yet completed. Would Team ENTITY be able to take down the Trilan government and the other forces trying to infiltrate it, or would they find themselves in a major problem? This is ENTITY Volume 11, Land Of Trila, Part 2.
Volume 11, Chapter 21 - The Red Sea
Stella grinded her teeth, still pissed off on the fact that Kyle had come after her. "You're not going to fix me!" she exclaimed. "This is the path I took, and even though I'm not proud, I still live on without your presence!"
Kyle grasped his sword lightly, causing it to slowly slide out of his hands and put a small cut in his hand. "You said the sea would turn red with my blood - so I have no choice but to fulfill your death wish."
He walked over to the beach while picking up the seawater surrounding the island with his hands in a cup-like formation. Even though his cut hurt while being mixed with water, the blood sliding through was changing the coloring of the water. "There you have it," he concluded. "Now, shall we get started?"
Stella nodded, her lip now bleeding from her excessive biting. "That's not enough blood, I want you to be dead while I'm the one burning your legacy to ash! I want to be everything, I want to be a god with the lord of this country!" Suddenly, she noticed a sudden touch on her shoulder. "Then act like it," Kyle said, stabbing her right in the shoulder.
In the blink of an eye, Stella's fight or flight technique activated, causing her to charge aimlessly at Kyle every single chance she got - every single failed chance, that is. "Ever since we parted ways, I've been preparing day after day, second after second to slice through your worthless, shitty, body!" Stella screamed, her sword colliding with Kyle's once again.
During the clash, Kyle watched her behavior closely. "Even if I'm proclaimed as shit for interrupting your path, it doesn't make up for the massacre you conducted on my country, your old home!"
He then held Stella's head tightly with his left hand, bashing it against his. "Tonight will be the night I will fight for not the results of your path, but for the people that you unleashed chaos among!"
Stella's eyes turned blurry due to tears, but the tears slowly faded after she noticed that Kyle had taken advantage of her emotions to penetrate her chest using his sword. "You idiot, not caring about how I feel anymore! I said I loved you, is that not enough!?" she screamed.
Kyle scoffed. "I don't think you fucking get the point," he said. "I'm not fighting because of feelings anymore - I'm fighting for the people you killed!"
Their swords collided once again, the shockwave blowing across the empty field. "Now, we're interconnected," Kyle said, using his right hand to forcefully hold Stella's head. "While learning Attack Expectation, I learned how to read people's stories by just touching them!"
Stella scoffed. "My story is now none of your business!" she exclaimed, swatting him away as she took the cut from his sword. "Those idiots of your hometown should've fought if they didn't want to be killed!" She slowly removed the blade from her chest, violently pushing it back into Kyle's hand as she tried to watch for his next move silently. "I'm done exchanging dialogue with you!" she exclaimed, followed by a sudden mutation in her body identical to Sahua's to take effect inside her body. "You had a chance not to come, and you ruined it!"
"Just like you ruined my hometown!" Kyle exclaimed, swinging his sword once again.
