Baki shakes his eyes and opens them. He sees Roma unclear and blinks. The clouds on his eyes wear off and everything comes apparent. He sees Roma facing him with deep concern.
He moans "Mmh" and calls...
"Roma."
Roma puts his right hand on his left cheek. Baki feels comfort; closing his eyes. Then he opens them again.
His head is on top Roma's left thigh. Roma's 2nd leg is curved up. Baki is relaxed before his man.
"Are you okay?" - Roma.
"Are you...okay?" Baki asks, referring to his back, which is now healed and the hole in the Turtleneck; restored.
"Don't answer a question with a question. I won't tolerate that from the Prince. Especially now, he's in this predicament." Roma says last with care, bringing back his hand.
Baki smirks and asks...
"How long have I been out?"
"An hour." - Roma.
"For real?" - Baki.
"Look up." Roma says, signaling him with the slight up-push of his head and eyes. Baki blinks and pushes his face up. He sees the sun, almost gone.
"Aw man, the day is almost gone." - Baki.
"Gone! Not almost." - Roma.
""Not over 'til it's over?" Baki asks, facing him with a smile.
They hold a bit and laugh with closed eyes.
"You're funny, man." Roma declares and laughs the more.
Baki intensifies too.
Eventually, they stop. Baki sucks his gum twice and replies...
"I'm not fine yet."
"Figured." Roma says, carries Baki in both hands, and stands up.
"Whoa!" - Baki.
"What's wrong?" Roma asks, facing his Prince with a charming smile.
"I feel like a Princess." Baki confesses with shaky eyes and a face of sweat.
"There's no need feeling. You are a Princess!" Clifford says, Baki laughs out loud.
Roma laughs out loud; face centered to the sky with closed eyes. He then says, facing Baki once more...
"Just for this moment."
They smile at one another for a bit and Roma moves on.
"Gay moments." Clifford comments as he does and the people laugh.
A large flying car appears in white smoke before them while he walks on the air; backing the land that connects the Fall. At the same time, Baki asks while his right arm remains wrapped over Roma's neck...
"How long did it take for you to heal?"
"Tsk. That woman! She really did one on me! 40 minutes!" - Roma.
"Oh!" Baki shouts in pain and says...
"You suffered!"
The dome of the car opens and folds back into the hole behind. This happens while Roma hisses and waves his face with his eyes closed, in pain.
Inside the car; two separate chairs stand in front while a long one stays behind. Roma places Baki on the Chair at the left and Happens on the Chair behind the Steering. Baki's face is sweaty and his breathing suffers.
He takes Baki's head with both hands and places it gently on his thighs.
"I will never...forget this." - Baki.
"Don't speak." Roma instructs, facing front with a single hand on the Wheel. He takes the other one from Baki's face and places it on the Wheel. His puts a glow in his irises and cuts it off.
The vehicle starts, ons its headlights, and sets its dome over itself. Roma pushes the gas and accelerates. The car turns to the right, aligns itself with the river, and bolts.
A sucking portal opens in front, takes them, shuts itself, and disappears.
Inside, they soar; in the midst of darkness. Baki groans and Roma places his hand on his face. He looks at him; worried, and faces front. He locks in and carries on.
Abel walks normally on the withered sand.
As he does, he says in his heart...
"It's less dusty now. Thank God for me."
Then mogs the space.
(It's night now btw)
Two horn sounds come up and a round light opens above Abel. He looks up and sees the car.
"Abel, stop looking like a moron and come up here." Roma says through a mic and Abel snaps.
"Huh!" He goes.
Close to the ground, it floats with Abel afloat its left side. The dome folds back and he asks...
"What's wrong with Baki!"
He flies to the back after. Baki floats as he does. He lands on his ass on top the right side of the Chair, looks up, raises his hands, and catches Baki.
"Take care of him!" Roma instructs as the vehicle levitates and returns the dome.
"Right!" Abel says, the dome stands, and they take off in high speed.
Alicia rides in a large flying vessel as well, behind the Wheel on the left; worried. By her right and behind: Paddler, Gastiny, and Tempest are sitted. Gastiny is behind her.
The men laugh from immense drunkenness.
"I hope nothing will happen to him." She says and catches their attention.
"Who are you talking about, your boyfriend!" Paddler asks with a wild smile; facing her, and she snaps.
"Boyfriend! Alicia has a boyfriend! Impossible! How can!" Tempest mocks and she snaps the more.
"That's right! No one is that unfortunate!" - Gastiny adds and she loses it.
"Shut up!!! I'm talking about Baki! Baki!!" She shouts and they pause.
"Oh, the Prince? This is certainly a bad omen." - Tempest.
"Right!" She says, all smiles; looking at him.
"He's in trouble." - Tempest.
"That's it!" - Alicia.
"You are that 'trouble'. Tempest mocks again, her eyes open, and they laugh.
She shakes and says out loud with her eyes closed...
"YOU GUYS DISGUST ME! YOU MEAN YOU DON'T SENSE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOUR PRINCE! YOU CAN'T BE ANYMORE PATHETIC!" As she goes, the car shakes left and right in the forest they fly in.
"Whoa! Whoa! Easy! Easy, I say! Goddamnit!" - Gastiny.
"Who's he talking to?" - Mecca.
"He knows he's taking to no one, that's why his voice is low." - Clifford.
The car steadies and carries on.
Everyone sits normal while Alicia drives.
"Shit. I sense it now." - Paddler.
"It's getting out of hand." - Tempest.
"His sickness." - Gastiny.
Alicia with stern eyes says as Roma rushes above a Mountainous area...
"Roma's bringing him."
A sucking portal opens again, takes them, and vanishes.
She glares ahead for a bit and says while pushing a lever with her right hand forward...
"We have to hurry!"
It hits. The vehicle flashes forth.
Roma's car appears flying in a thick forest. It flies for a bit and scales through to a very large space (forcefully formed) before the shore, where their Ship is.
"Let us hurry to the Ship." - Roma.
"And then, what will happen?" Abel asks while his right hand rests on Baki's right side, who lies fully on his thighs; panting and sweating, with closed eyes.
"We will leave the Circle. Return home and appeal to the King." - Roma.
"Appeal to Kelun, that bastard! Foolish thinking! It won't work! And how are we supposed to do that! Remember, we are criminals now. He will have our heads before we can speak! And also, this is the essence of being Disposed. Anything that happens to you, you face it alone." Abel says and Roma listens.
Roma shakes with an angered grit and says...
"He will do this to even his own brother! What abomination! He isn't fit to be called a Kotetsu, much less the King. If not for how weak we are, we would have removed him already."
"He knows that, that's why he acts the way he acts. Taking shelter in Anarchy's skirt." - Abel.
"Does she wear skirt?" Roma asks, shifting his face slightly to the right; eyeing Abel.
"I don't know, but she has to. She is a woman, after all." - Abel.
"Lol. She is more than qualified for the man spread." Roma says, facing front.
"Who is the doomed soul that would date her? I pity for him." Abel says, Ferdinand sniffs and scratches his hair by the right with his right index; eyes shifted the same direction. Meanwhile, Clifford, Mecca, and Akado watch him, all suspiciously.
They approach the shore.
Headlights shine behind their car through.
They look to their rights and observe as Alicia comes around and aligns herself with them.
She kisses the air; facing them while the rest goes crazy. Abel waves his right hand with swag and Roma smirks, tilting his head left.
They rain insultive gestures at them. Abel and Roma watch with a smile, paying no mind at all. They continue and suddenly notice Baki; in a worsened state. They lose it.
They all scale the open space and enter the shore. They pass through freely; towards their ship. They close in. A sudden force appears from nowhere and reverts them back to the end of the open space. There, they halt, and observe; stunned!
They look around. A right arm erupts from the ocean and stays still before TPW's right.
They look past it to the right and bring their faces to it. Alicia's eyes open wide and she says with the point of her right index...
"That! What is that!"
All of them are terrified.
"I-don't-know!" - Abel.
The man erupts from the water in the form of a sit-up. He does so looking at the hand he put out. He wears a purple high neck, long sleeve shirt with a sword strapped behind from left.
Tidal
Age: 26
Hunter (Elite).
He turns to his right quickly, places his hand on the water, lifts himself; setting his left foot first, and throws his right arm up.
Once done, two other men erupt from the water, and he stands. The one behind Tidal, backs left of his back with two guns in his hands held down, behind and besides him; leaving his chest protuded to the sky. He holds his face in their direction.
Explicit
Age: 23
Hunter (Elite).
Whereas the last spins a Trident in both hands to the right while backing the fore left of Explicit. He stomps the bottom on the water and glares at the company with his right eye.
Atlantic
Age: 19
Hunter (Elite).
Tidal stands with a long-to-the-knees short, socks (purple), his legs spread; right shoulder down, on 4 inches tall boots.
They stand on the water, with utmost aura.
It's the men Kelun spoke to in the eerie realm.
"What is that!" - Mecca.
"The shoe? Four Inched Thunder!" - Ferdinand.
"Masaka. (No way.)" Mecca comments and everyone laughs.
Alicia with a stunned look, draws her head back; switching to disgust. Her nipples shoot.
A shadow of a face comes on her humongous breast. Paddler's right index now nears the nipple before him.
"Ohhhhh!" He goes, poking it. He pokes it repeatedly, saying...
"She's into it, oh! She's into it! Chai!" As he does, Gastiny and Tempest wear a grin. She fumes up at the same time with her eyes closed; facing down. He laughs like a fool.
She loses it and smacks his face with the back of her right fist; letting forth a grunt. Upon collision, he faces front with risen hair. The men lose their smiles right away.
"You've been drunk enough!" She says with a bulged-veined right arm. She takes it down. He holds a shakened smile. His right canine and premolars fall. He laughs in pain.
The vehicles land by Hunters' far left, and disperse dust; right at where they were bounced to. The clothes of the gentleman flow. Explicit and Atlantic stand in line now; facing them.
The domes open, let out little smoke, and retract. They retract completely and Abel jumps from the foreright. He lands before the space between the vessels and folds his arms.
"What do low-class Elite Hunters want with us?" - Abel.
Alicia appears in a flash by his car's left, bent a little to the right and demands; standing upright...
"Yes! Answer!"
"Is he referring to them or the faction?" - Mecca.
"The faction." - Ferdinand.
"Why do you hold your peace when we speak? Are you not afraid!" Paddler asks; standing upright from a majestic crouch on the bonnet of his car.
He jumps and lands a little distance before; facing them. The rest stand at strategic positions except Roma, who stays on the chair behind taking care of Baki. Baki breathes heavy with closed eyes; sweating like crazy.
Roma faces them with stern eyes.
"Rightfully we would have been. But considering who sent us, there is no need." - Tidal.
"Sent you?" - Gastiny.
"And who sent you!" - Abel.
Tidal grins wild and locks in.
"The King of the World. And the Goddess." He responds.
"The King of the World and the Goddess?" Abel asks and realizes; letting down his arms.
"Kotetsu Kelun and Anarchy Requiem!" Tempest declares and everyone becomes scared.
"Not again!!" Roma says and shakes in anger.
Alicia fumes, shakes the air around her with her fists ready, and asks...
"How can this be! What is your goal! What did they tell you!"
"Kill Kotetsu Baki." Atlantic says, pointing to where Baki is with his left index.
His words enter Baki's ears while he pants and he opens his eyes. The Kotetsu's lose it. Roma shakes like crazy while Paddler goes...
"What!"
Tempest's eyes shake uncontrollably while he holds a grit.
"Ngh!" He makes.
"Kill him, you say? When I'm here! Listen, I've not had my share of him, so don't think I'd let him go so easily!" Alicia says; engulfing herself in aura before the "so" and shouts like mad. The area shakes.
The Hunters watch her, smiling.
"Why are they smiling? Is something the matter?" She asks in her mind while Abel observes with aura.
"Can this guy ever cease farming!" - Mecca.
"'Fraid not." - Ferdinand.
The rest look, trying to understand.
"They are smiling? How come! Have they lost their minds!" Roma asks in his heart.
"Unless..." He continues, stretching forth his upper body.
"No, it's impossible!" He finishes.
Her shouts enter the next level. And the tremors intensify.
"No birds?" - Mecca.
"They're dead." - Ferdinand.
"Alicia!" Baki calls and catches everyone's attention. Roma looks to his left in shock.
She stops shouting instantly. The tremors end and she faces him from the left; still engulfed in aura.
"Cut it off." He commands.
"Hai. (Yes.)" She says and sets off the aura.
On the edge of the car he is sitted, holding the remaining parts by his sides.
"Kill me, you said?" He asks.
"Yes." - Explicit.
"And you said my brother and Ana sent you?" He asks again.
"Indubitably." - Explicit.
"Souka. (I see.) I'm sorry, I'm not so used to letting myself go. So bear me a little witness, alright?" He pleads; facing down. They fold their arms and stare with their smiles off.
His Retainers face him; awe-stricken.
Baki shakes, growls, and opens his eyes with power; glaring ahead. The air warps and the place vibrates. His Retainers come stunned. Particles around start to fly up.
The world across feels it. The people are wondrous.
"What are you doing?" Alicia asks with shaky eyes. His hair and eyes start to flicker: silver.
In the Office, Kelun stays in front of his window; hands glued on the edges. His eyes shake with a jolt, and he goes back a step; gritting in fear. Sweat oozes through his face's pores.
He overcomes it and pushes forward with a grunt. He puts his face through the window and says...
"It can't be! The same feeling as Mom and Dad! It should have been me!"
He grits with a growl and says out loud; punching the wall by his left...
"It should have been me!!"
It cracks.
Baki growls the more, throws his face up and brings it down. The surge of the spreading force intensifies. The Kotetsu's stand firm; guarding themselves. The Hunters stand with their hands in their pockets; smiling. TPW drifts far and stops (Still noticeable).
"Our Ship!" - Gastiny.
"Don't worry, I got it!" Atlantic says and grins.
They hold a face of shock; looking at them.
"Huaagh!" Baki goes, releases more, and breaks something. His Retainers face him.
"Look down!" Tidal says. They face him and do as he says. Their eyes open wide on what they see: a split in the entire Island.
"Going crazy for a split?" - Mecca.
"It's not about the split, it's about who's causing it." Ferdinand says, referring to Baki, who's still going through it.
"Yeah, doofus!" - Clifford.
Baki grunts, grinding his teeth, and shouts with his face to the sky. A white light erupts immediately and overcomes the entire Island; shooting straight to Heaven. It breaks through the firmament and spreads across the Multiverse. (Through the Waters)
In Baki's Universe, across the 29 Worlds; 25 are shaken while rest stand waiting.
In one of the 4, a man asks...
"Is it time?"
In the one with a pink sky, on the 2nd floor of a Palace; a man with a tail stands holding a rail with both hands in front. He looks up; sees it, and wags his tail.
The light returns to its Sender and dies within' him. The Kotetsu's open their eyes with slight grunts and face him. The Hunters watch, still with their smiles.
They see Baki emanating silver aura, with a silver hair. And of course, his eyes glow the same color. His clothes are back in order. Everyone's too.
"W-What is this! I can't...sense anything!" Roma says with shaky eyes.
The Island with everything inside is intact.
Tidal raises his left index in Baki's direction, engulfs its tip with golden aura, and shoots a beam in his direction.
It reaches his face's right, passes it, soars deep in the Island, enters a river in an open space and explodes. The light quickly spreads and stops at the backs of Baki and his Gang. It takes every part from their backs down to the Other Side.
"Huh! When!" Alicia asks as they all except Baki, face the light.
It disappears in an instant and shows nothing but dry land. All leveled; table!
"Nothing?" - Paddler.
"No...wayyy." - Tempest.
Abel stands with aura; watching.
"I see. For you not to flinch...you've become that." Tidal says, letting down his hand.
Baki gets up and walks toward him. At the same time, the Hunters set their hands down from their pockets. Tidal approaches him. His Retainers turn-to-watch.
"Become what! What's he talking about! Baki, what's going on!" Alicia says within' holding a grit; shifting her head to right, as she sees Baki pass.
"Oh, I get it!" She says out loud.
"No, you don't!" Abel says and Alicia faces him. She sees him; arms folded.
He speaks and his clothes flow back...
"Right now in his weakened state, he's vulnerable. So his body has developed a defense mechanism.
"(Where's the wind coming from!)" - Mecca.
But that won't be possible if he wasn't pushing himself. Probably." He says last, letting down his hands.
"Probably!" - Alicia.
Baki approaches them. Each step he takes with aura.
"(What a man-!)" - Clifford.
"What's going on?" - Mecca.
"Can't you tell? I tapped into it... My Being as a Yuusuke." - Baki.
He gets closer and closer. Face stern. Tidal as well; smiling.
"Alicia...it's obvious. He's ascended!" - Paddler.
"Ascended!" - Gastiny.
Roma stands and flashes off. He appears before Alicia and gets pushed to the ground; face first. Alicia looks down on him with no regret. She faces Baki and smiles with an open mouth. She sets out a happy sound and goes with set fists...
"That's my Prince!"
They approach themselves; aura oozing from their bodies. Tidal's is golden. He has the ISM activated.
They walk a step, align the other, and stop; 3 feet away. The Island shakes ONCE, but devastating. Great force now flows from their midst.
Abel and Co. guard themselves; groaning and shouting. Their vehicles fly back into the great distance as the waters subtly stir. Explicit and Atlantic watch; smiling, too with the ISM engaged. The waters close to the Ship go up and down. The Ship gets affected and moves the same way.
"What is this!" Tempest asks.
"I don't know!!" - Alicia.
Explicit chuckles and says...
"You can't see, it's not your fault. It's not meant for you."
Atlantic holds for a bit and says...
"But worry not, I will make it so that your eyes can perceive."
The Kotetsu's look and suddenly, it becomes clear: the high, intense, divine speed hand-to-hand combat Baki and Tidal perform mid-air in their own midst, while still standing face-to-face.
"Wait, there are two!" - Roma.
"Speed." - Explicit.
"Who gave you permission to do this, Atlantic? They were meant to behold not comprehend." Tidal speaks in divine tone.
(The one standing)
Immediately, they jump in a flash, become the counterparts, and clash their forearms (crossed before the face) with power. The realm shakes and screams burst.
"IT'S THE DAMN SPIRITS! FUCK THEM!! FUCK THEM ALL!!!" A man shouts.
"I agree." - Mecca.
They vanish.
Roma takes his left foot forward and says...
"They've vanished!"
Explicit and Atlantic look up. The Kotetsu's too. A deadly clash is performed in the Sky. Force spreads and takes out the Clouds. Takes out the Moon, the Sun, the Stars, and plummets the World into great darkness. The Water beyond the Realm flows.
The people scream again.
"IT'S OVER! IT'S OVERRRRRR!!!" A second man declares.
"Nahhh." - Mecca.
Baki's silver hair glows. Tidal's aura light heightens. Their glows bring light to the Realm.
"Huh? What's this strange light?" - Man III.
"Silver and Gold? I've never seen this before!" - Man IV.
Kelun holds a grit; shaking as he observes the phenomenon.
"What was I doing when this was happening?" Mecca asks with folded arms. Clifford's are folded as well.
Ferdinand bring forth his right hand; encircled in a ring of glowing gold aura, before the mirror television on the ground.
The scene changes from Kelun to a dark Grand Room, where the young Mecca sleeps soundly; upon a bed covered in a duvet.
"So the World is ending and you're sleeping?" Clifford asks with a smug smirk, shifting his eyes to the right.
"Heh!" He goes and replies...
"Ain't no better death than the one in your sleep."
Everyone laughs. Clifford and Ferdinand too.
The Realm shakes in the Vision. They lock in. Their area shakes as well from a grand explosion. It puts light on them. Inside; past Mecca's room to the corridor, past the Palace to the streets, the towns, the cities, the people, and the Empire. Through it to the Ocean. Past storms, Islands, roaring Monsters, and now at the place Baki fights...
He and Tidal float face-to-face. Baki sends a surging silver beam with both hands towards him. Tidal sends a golden one.
The beams clash, create an impact, and form a large golden, silver light circle in the middle.
A light burst comes forth and engulfs them. They bat not an eye. A white circle covers them. Thunder strikes about and through it. The Kotetsu's watch, the Hunters too. Kelun. The People. Mecca and his guys. Baki casually blows through Operators with Sendai in his right hand. (They have no time to shout)
The circle vibrates; attempting break. Tidal and Baki shout with their mights. The circle tears; exposing them. The gold and silver lights spread in waves throughout the entire Realm.
The people watch and marvel. Alicia & Co., except Abel. He aura farms while sitted on the ground with his phone in his right hand; filming himself and the stuff.
"What-is wrong with him?" - Mecca.
Atlantic and Explicit stay laid in the aggressively flowing water; gazing at the phenomena, with grins on their faces.
Tidal wears a smile; facing Baki. Baki wears same; facing him.
Tidal blinks, comes upright, asks...
"Well then, are you hungry?"
Baki blinks in shock, comes upright, and says...
"Come to think of it, I am."
He laughs and confirms...
"I am!"
Tidal laughs and says while raising both his hands to his right...
"Alright then."
He claps and they all find themselves sitted round a rectangular table filled with exquisite dishes. Baki & the gang. Tidal & his.
Baki is sitted across Tidal. Behind Tidal is the one door entrance to the lighted red room. Behind Baki are two shut windows. Baki's right; Paddler, Alicia, Roma, and Gastiny. Tidal's right; Tempest, Atlantic, Abel, and Explicit. (The Hunters' Weapons are no more. Both glows are gone)
Baki and his Retainers go wild.
"Oh my fucking God!!" - Abel.
Tidal and his team wear suspicious smiles.
Inside a dark realm, a large purple velvet cube gently levitates forward. Baki and the Kotetsu's still marvel at the feast while the Hunters give off the suspicious smiles.
"You wouldn't mind if we- Please." Baki prays with his left eye shut, holding the Prayer sign.
"Sure! Down it!" Tidal says as he and his team take up cutleries to begin.
"Thanks." Baki says with closed eyes and a heartful grin. They begin. The Hunters watch them with evil grins and chuckle within'. They start too.
Not so long later, the feast is done. The tablewares vanish. The Kotetsu's chatter amongst themselves in happiness while Baki holds his face to the ceiling; smiling.
"I hope you enjoyed yourself, Baki?" Tidal asks. Baki faces him. The chatter ends and everyone (except the Hunters) faces Tidal.
"Oh yes," He says, spreading his arms.
"and the Retainers?" He finishes with a slight bow.
They smile and Alicia says...
"Not bad. Ain't that right, Abel!" She asks facing Abel.
Abel stares at her for a bit; judging her response, and smirks with his eyes closed (releasing sharp air from his nose).
"Don't mind him. He's too full of himself." Alicia confesses.
"Ehhn, I would say." Atlantic concurs looking at him from the right. Explicit faces him also.
"I'm glad." Tidal says, retrieves his arms, and sits up right; putting them down.
Baki talks with his Retainers, Tidal, and Atlantic.
Tidal watches with an evil smirk.
Suddenly, as Baki speaks, a pool of blood pours from his mouth. He expresses shock watching it overflow on the table and the floor.
The Kotetsu's express shock as well, and let out sounds. Alicia screams while the Hunters watch in bliss.
"My Prince!" She calls; watching him in panic. She vomits blood too. The rest show fear and throw as well. Blood everywhere!
Tidal chuckles and asks...
"How do you feel, Prince?"
Baki looks up and glares at him while the Kotetsu's shake. He smiles after, sits up-right and unleashes Dominance from his eyes; setting himself free from the torture. Explicit and Atlantic grit. Tidal stays calm. The force hits them all and grazes past.
"So? That all?" Tidal asks and vomits blood; setting his face down. Atlantic and Explicit do the same. The pour comes heavy.
The present Baki watches keenly in the midst of Ferdinand (right) and Mecca (left), with a bloody Sendai in his right hand.
"So that's where you got it from?" Mecca asks, looking to his upper right. Baki laughs inside.
Inside the Vision... The Kotetsu's stay calm, checking themselves (trying to understand) while Baki watches Tidal struggle with a smug smirk and hears the sounds of the other Hunters.
With folded arms, he shifts his eyes right and left, and observes the looks of confusion on his Retainers' faces. He spreads his arms, bends slightly, and assures them with a smile...
"Don't worry guys. I know you're wondering whether you're healed. You are. I healed you."
They face him as he does so. And at the same time, Tidal and his men raise their heads and do as the Kotetsu's have done.
Tidal smiles staring straight and releases Dominance from his eyes with a shout; taking off damage. It spreads, wipes off all blood, and heals his comrades.
The room is clean again. Baki stares keenly at Tidal. Tidal does the same. He shifts his eyes to the right and then to his hair.
"Your hair color, it's pretty odd." He says relaxing on the Back Rest.
"Oh this?" He asks grabbing a part of his hair with his left hand; shifting his eyes up.
"I don't know why." He finishes letting his hand down and points his eyes at Tidal.
"Full of surprises..." Tidal says, folds his arms, and finishes with...
"Just like your parents."
Baki's smile turns into a frown. His Retainers face him with their mouths open and witness the air come heavy.
The Hunters watch with smug grins.
"What about them?" - Baki.
"Nothing. Just that they were stupid enough to get themselves killed." Tidal says and the Retainers become scared.
The Hunters' grins turn wild.
Baki while looking down at the table, places his hands on it, and gets up.
He holds. The Hunters chuckle as they watch him. The Retainers are wishing that none of this ever happened.
Baki faces Tidal. Tidal raises his eyebrows and brings them down.
"Don't you ever talk about my parents" He shouts; setting out aura, and finishes with, making it go berserk...
"AGAIN!!!"
The Kotetsu's scream in terror as the light turns off and the walls crack. The Hunters don't flinch. Tidal hold a lesser grin. Baki glares at him with a fiery grit.
Baki's aura blows up the top of the cube as he releases sounds of anger. The place stops, glitches, and returns to the Island.
Everyone stays in their original positions.
"We're back!" Alicia declares looking up while Baki shakes; setting out more sounds. He lets go and screams out loud in divinity with his face to the sky. As he does, his aura rages the more, and the Realm tremors.
A white circle encased at the edge with a golden, black color appears on his chest. The Imperial Lightning strikes within' it and it spreads in the way of a dome.
It overcomes the Kotetsu's instantly. The Hunters stay, bearing witness with smiles on their faces. It closes in. Their smiles turn into shock.
"HOLY SHIIIIITTTTTT!!!" Explicit says in terror and they all become engulfed. The Dome covers the whole Island. Baki carries on. The Realm feels every moment. This time, great wind blows across it.
Kelun with his eyes, hair, and aura glowing: crimson, black; shouts in divinity (looking down outside the window with closed eyes), and adds to the pressure...
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
"(What's he doing?)" - Mecca.
"(Tapping.)" - Baki.
It extends to their Universe, in its entirety.
In the 3rd World of the 4; its people hold firm with their ISMs engaged. A man with obvious authority says as he shields against the wind on the streets...
"IT'S THE LORDS KELUN AND BAKI!!!"
Their forces propagate across the Multiverse.
In the 3rd Universe, at the part dominated by darkness...
"This one has only one world?" - Mecca.
"Yup. As big as a Universe." - Baki.
"Been there?" - Mecca.
"No." - Baki.
On top of the summit of the highest Mountain which sojourns in the clouds in front of the moon, a Woman of Authority stands. She gasps subtly and faces her back from the right.
Tears drop down from her eyes, and she calls...
"Baki..."
"Who is that?" - Mecca.
"Lucy...Vermillion. The God of that Universe." - Baki.
"You should have known that." - Clifford.
"Well, I didn't. Beat me?" - Mecca.
"Yuck." - Clifford.
Baki yells his final and his Retainers appear (Happen) on his Ship; facing the way from its right. The white dome disperses. The chaos ends and Thunder strikes across the Realm. The light of the Moon, the Sun, and the Stars return.
The people rejoice.
Kelun lays on his back on the floor; unconscious with his face to the left, near his desk. The hair color, the aura, all are gone.
"He shifted it before fainting?" - Mecca.
"It appears so." - Clifford.
The Kotetsu's look ahead and see nothing. Baki and the Island are gone. They become shocked.
Alicia shouts. Abel, by her left yells, putting his hands on his head...
"I'm finished!! What am I gonna tell Emelia!!" He asks, going on his knees and looking down. Then he screams...
"Noooooooo!!!"
They look at him as he does so.
"Tell her what exactly?" Baki asks. They look up; stunned, and face back.
"It's can't be. You're alive?" Paddler asks with shaky eyes.
Abel looks up and jumps to his feet; facing Baki from the right. He wears a face of awe.
"Ba-ki." He calls referring to the Prince, who is sitted balanced on his Chair. All normal and okay!
"Hey." He greets.
Abel makes sounds of awe, approaching Baki. He takes two steps, stops, and asks...
"My Prince, are you okay?"
Baki takes his face from his left fist (elbow on the Arm Rest), and looks down on his hands; head front (body bent). He engulfs himself in a sharp deep forest green aura. His eyes glow the same way.
His Retainers watch in awe. He observes thoroughly and smiles.
"As you can see." He says, facing Abel; retracting his body a little.
They behold; stricken in awe.
Alicia realizes, points her left index fingers at him, and goes...
"Your aura... It's no longer pale."
"Yeah. I know." Baki says, facing his hands once more with a smile, and looks at her.
"Do you know what that means?" She asks.
"Yeah." He replies with a prideful nod.
Alicia and Abel express immense joy and run towards him. The rest watch, all elated. They reach, he cuts it, and they hug him. Alicia, by the right. Abel, at the front.
"Ohhh, I'm so proud of you!" - Alicia.
Roma appears in a flash by his left and hugs him too.
"Don't forget me!" He demands, going for it.
"Oh, you guys!" Baki says, completely ecstatic.
Gastiny, Tempest, and Paddler laugh.
"That day...I became free, and entered the 2nd Stage." - Baki.
"What does 'free' mean?" - Mecca.
"I overcame my sickness." - Baki.
"Congratulations." - Clifford.
"And what does '2nd Stage' mean?" Mecca asks and looks up.
Baki holds a bit and replies...
"You will wait and see."
"Are you trying to make Baki sick again?" - Clifford.
"What does that mean?" Mecca asks and everyone laughs.
The Ship sails.
They approach an edge of a transparent dome.
Baki is sitted on his Chair, watching. Abel stands by his left. Roma is sitted on the deck by his right. Alicia holds the Wheel.
Gastiny, Tempest, and Paddler do their thing.
"So this is the Circle?" - Abel.
"You know it's funny how we've never seen but we know of it." - Baki.
"We've never seen it!" Alicia asks while Abel sets himself. He does so, dispersing force on the deck. He takes off with power towards the edge. He reaches and smacks it with his right fist. It cracks and shatters.
Baki and the rest watch as Abel sets himself upright. The mast of the Ship comes and takes him.
"Is it over?" - Abel.
"To the next Island, I guess." - Baki.
"That's not what I asked." - Abel.
