Cherreads

Chapter 187 - [KK] III

Kelun sees him go and eventually vanish into the darkness.

He watches with an open mouth and Kenmaru stares at him with a shocked face, by the right.

Kelun quickly runs ahead.

Kenmaru becomes the more shocked, looks to his right, faces its direction fully and utters with force...

"TF!!!"

Kelun runs inside the darkest point of the forest, the same place his brother entered and carries on to his left.

He runs non-stop in the paths where little light drops.

His eyes and grit all show guilt.

"Baki!!!" He calls out loud.

He keeps going.

"Please forgive me!"

"I did you wrong, I fucked you up! I know I don't deserve your forgiveness but this, I beg of you! I can't bear it! I am weak!!" He pleads with a heavy voice.

He reaches a point, feels something ominous and stops with his eyes wide open; sweat on the face.

He bears a bent posture, right knee curved ahead, left foot raised up behind.

His right leg vibrates and he drops his left. Then stands erect.

He looks around with fear in his whole body. His heart beats uncontrollably.

Eventually he goes full circle (anticlockwise turn) and stands facing his initial direction.

"Kelunnnn." Baki sings in a low tone.

Kelun brings his face up a bit while letting out a subtle gasp. Then he slowly turns it to the right. His heart beats faster as he does.

His eyes now come in contact with Baki. Who stands far ahead with his right hand raised and his head tilted in the same way.

He waves it.

His heartbeats accelerate the more and he shuts his mouth.

He faces Baki's path with spread arms of reasoning. His mouth shakes and he utters...

"C-Can I come over?"

Baki stops his hand waves and his brings it down. He returns his head to the center and opens his contemptuous eyes. Then says...

"Sure, why not?"

He closes them back and tilts his face to the left with a smile, while his hands hold before his crotch.

Kelun gives an unsure smile mixed with relief and jogs toward him.

On his way, Kenmaru comes before him in a dash and stands with his arms spread like he owns the land, talking 'bout some...

"Don't go bro! He finna smite ya-!"

Kelun reaches and powers through him like it's nothing.

On the ground he lays, as a flat mat.

He breathes heavily in a subtle manner, holding a big smile.

Baki still holds his.

He gets close and Baki opens his eyes, revealing his ISMs.

Kelun makes a right step and the area freezes. Then a switch up comes to be.

It goes from dense forest to HELL!

A realm of red, boiling clouds.

Under: steamy, straight, stainless black floor.

His body reverts back to the dried state it was during the torture, even beyond.

He wails as sizzling takes place under his feet.

He skins glows red a bit.

"Don't just stand there! Come help me!" Kenmaru demands and Kelun turns his face behind from the right.

He sees bro lying down with his face on the ground.

"Are you mad! The fuck up, bitch!" - Kelun.

"I said...help me!" He says last while raising his right hand.

Kelun tiptoes to where he is and takes it. Then he lifts him up.

Kenmaru stands erect with a blacker face. Burnt shirt (Chest to Stomach), leaving those parts blackened as well.

(His body is in the same state as Kelun's)

Kelun laughs and Kenmaru looks at him with fury.

"What's with the look? Didn't I put you on your back, flat as a mat?" Kelun asks while making a flashback to when he did so.

"Oh so you know what you did?" Kenmaru asks and it cuts.

"You should have died there." Kelun says with a serious face.

Underneath their feet: sizzles.

"Ludicrous! If I die, you die!" - Kenmaru.

"Who said that?" - Kelun.

"Rumors." - Kenmaru.

Kelun chuckles.

"Fuck rumors." - Kelun.

"You're still bad asf." - Kenmaru.

"I might be

Kelun says and face back with a turn from his right, while finishing....

but I know I'm repentant in one thing... Where my brother is."

He looks up while saying the last part.

Kenmaru follows after.

"God this thing hurts!" - He utters.

Kelun makes a right step and says...

"Baki, I know you can hear me! Don't turn your back on me!"

No answer.

"I deserve it and more! I deserve everything! To perish! But at least, let me hear you say you forgive me!" He declares while Kenmaru watches him with an open mouth.

The reds on their bodies become defined. And some parts start to turn black.

No answer.

Kelun and Kenmaru face the sky eagerly.

No answer still.

They don't relent. Eventually, Baki declares in a divine tone...

"Kelun...I will grant you forgiveness... If you prove to me who you are."

50 black holes open up simultaneously on the sky and attackers swarm in.

Kelun and Kenmaru become agitated.

They land in their great multitudes with ISMs engaged.

Kelun and Kenmaru watch them do so and make Katanas appear in their hands; right and left respectively.

The Opps: 200

Kenmaru grits and asks...

"Write a will?"

"Do you." - Kelun.

Their ISMs activate.

Kenmaru becomes shocked and asks...

"Is he having mercy on us?"

Kelun smiles, and locks in after.

The Attackers get ready with their weapons, and charge.

Kelun and Kenmaru shout and charge as well.

They reach and break them; slicing up a few.

In the midst, they fight.

Parry, counter and eliminate.

They sustain a few stabs in the process.

"Urgh!" - Kenmaru.

"Ah!" - Kelun.

They release Dominance and send most flying.

Then carry on diagonally.

Kelun, to his left. Kenmaru, to his right.

They approach two male Attackers.

The Attackers bear in their hands, Katanas.

Kelun's: His right.

Kenmaru's: His left.

The Attackers, Kelun and Kenmaru's ISMs beep at once.

Kelun and Kenmaru see into the future at the same time.

In Kelun's vision: His Attacker vanishes and appears behind him with his blade covered in Imperial.

In Kenmaru's: His Attacker toss spins his blade towards his right hand. He catches and spins it on the spot. Imperial Lightning comes on the blade. He points it at Kenmaru and flashes forth.

The visions reverse to the start and end.

They come to pass.

Soonest, Kelun's Attacker appears behind, he makes a clockwise turn, faces and lifts him. The Attacker expresses shock on both occurrences.

Kelun does the lifting with his left hand underneath his Attacker's crotch and his right, over his left shoulder.

Same time, Kenmaru releases Imperial Lightning from his sides to the back and flashes forth.

Kelun carries him over his right shoulder as he makes a diagonal spin and pounds his back in the floor in front of him.

Kenmaru appears before his Attacker and stabs him from the stomach through to the back. His Attacker coughs out blood with a genuine shocked face.

All at the same time.

Kelun now stabs the chest of his Attacker, with his right hand while Kenmaru's own, walks back from the blade saying; with a bloody mouth...

"Imperial Flash with Gear? How!"

He asks last while collapsing on his back.

Kelun brings out his blade and gets sent flying with a semi flying left kick to the back from the right by a female.

He reaches a spot and side flips in the direction of his left. Then lands.

A set of many rush him. Likewise Kenmaru.

(Kelun and Kenmaru)'s ISMs process and they become serious.

The Attackers come at them and they evade. Left and right, in a slick manner.

In their sight, the offenses come in slow motion.

While so, parts of their arms and Kelun's face to the left, turn black.

They observe, lock in and surge.

Every opp, they slice.

Heads fly, come back and get sliced again. The bodies fall.

Their eyes go all over the place.

A takeoff happens before Kelun and a shadow comes above him.

He looks and sees a man coming down at him with a Spiked Club in both hands.

He raises it above his head, closes in and sends a strike.

Kelun quickly crosses his arms over his face. The opp strikes them. The floor breaks and he sends him back with a forceful spread.

The man goes back in vertical, back rotations and clashes back first onto the clouds. Instantly, fire consumes (he screams) and sucks him in.

Kelun gets the shivers from watching while his body parts get darker and darker.

A woman comes behind him and swings a long Labrys in her right hand to the right.

He jumps up and evades. Then comes down on her face and breaks it off her neck.

Then proceeds to use it as a glider with his right hand underneath the right side of her head. He takes off with his Katana in his left hand.

The corpse goes on its knees, blood gushes and it collapses on its front.

They fight through the Attackers and establish kills.

As they go, their bodies blacken.

Limbs get severed. They restore, and get severed again. Heads as well.

"Fuck you!" - Kenmaru.

"Yeah, fuck you!" - Kelun.

Eventually, all remaining Attackers get slain.

Kelun spins clockwise and slices of the neck of a female Attacker with his right hand, positioning his blade behind his right leg; after a slide back.

His body is fully black.

Blood spews and she collapses on her left. Her body turns black and evaporates into ash.

Kelun moves four steps ahead. While so, Kenmaru aligns with him from 5 0'Clock. Body blackened. No weapon in sight.

They stop while facing front.

They look around and up.

They see lightning coming out of the clouds, with thunder by its side.

"Since when?" - Kenmaru.

Kelun doesn't answer.

"So how are we gonna get out of here?" Kenmaru asks, brings down his head and faces Kelun.

"I don't...know." He replies and faces left while settling his head.

"That's craaaaazy." - Kenmaru.

Kenmaru says things but the sounds come muffled in Kelun's ears.

Kelun looks up at the sky again and shifts his gaze towards the right.

He finally locks it at his upper right and his eyes expand.

He remembers...

"Kelun...I will grant you forgiveness... If you prove to me who you are."

Lightning and thunder come forth the clouds he looks at.

"And you call yourself the King of the W-!" - Kenmaru.

Kelun cuts him off with the forceful release of the Black Imperial on his blade and says immediately after...

"Stay away, Ken!" Kelun demands and starts raising his Katana.

Kenmaru leaves his mouth open while watching and Happens a few distances off his right.

Kelun while gritting, settles the Katana above his head towards his back and makes a shot with a downslash. He grunts heavily as he does this.

The blast goes through to the furthest point and tears up the sky, with the atmosphere, down to the ground.

Kenmaru watches with an open mouth and utters...

"Wow!" Then blinks.

Kelun watches with intent and stands erect.

"Not enough, huh?"

"Ken!" He calls while looking to his right.

"What is it!" - Kenmaru.

"We have to combine Dominance! We finna be stranded if we don't!" Kelun declares while the tear gradually seals.

"For how long! 'Cause I'm not ready to use It now! My eyes hurt!" - Kenmaru.

"Is Dominance that hard!" - Kelun.

"If you haven't mastered your eyes!" - Kenmaru.

The tear seals up in large sections.

"I got a knack you can shoot it from your body!" - Kelun.

"Hmm, you haven't mastered your eyes and you wanna use your body! I feel only those up there can do that!" - Kenmaru says last while gesturing his right hand above his head.

The tear comes to its apex. He brings down his hand.

"The crack is coming asunder." - Kelun.

"Stop tryna be-!

Kenmaru rebukes while facing him...

Just use normal English! Wait, why are we speaking English!" He asks.

"Cos Japanese got boring." Kelun replies with a smile.

Kenmaru laughs. He laughs back.

They stop and look ahead.

The crack seals up. They smile and their ISMs set.

They scream as one and unleash Dominance.

The forces fly across toward the point the tear occured and collide.

The World feels it.

They keep going. Still no change.

They don't relent. Still nothing.

Their parts slowly turn to ash.

The Realm suffers.

It goes on for awhile. They finally synchronize.

The shot heightens and tears open, a V crack.

The mayhem ends.

They stop at once. Kenmaru looks at Kelun.

Kelun shouts...

"Let's go!"

He takes off. Kenmaru follows right away.

As they go, their parts evaporate.

They reach. Kelun dives through and somersaults mid-air. Kenmaru dives and the crack shuts while he performs his own mid-air somersault.

Kenmaru turns his face back from the left shouting, while running behind Kelun...

"WTF!"

"KEEP GOING!" Kelun shouts. Kenmaru faces front and they return to the desert with recovered bodies.

Both collapses on their knees and slides on their faces, on the sand.

They stop.

The Sun heats them up and they sweat.

"Why does the Sun affect us?" - Kelun.

"Where is this coming from?" - Kenmaru.

"I just realized, the Sun shouldn't. It didn't affect my mother and father. So why, us?" - Kelun.

"We're new." - Kenmaru.

"No, it's Baki." - Kelun.

"That bastard." - Kenmaru.

"No. Don't do that." - Kelun.
