2024-04-12 01:01:58Lord Zodiac's dust. A dust that was gotten from Lord Zodiac's body when he got burnt during the battle against Lord Genzen. The dust was placed in a supreme jar that was sealed with high-ranked chaos energy to prevent it from escaping.
But all of a sudden, after thousands of years, the jar cracked open and now the dust escaped, looking for a human or anybody to possess.
"I am finally free." Lord Zodiac voiced, his deep voice echoed throughout the mountain as he glanced at the night sky and sniffed in the relaxing atmosphere.
"Hehe, this is cracking me up." Jiro's chuckle from behind made Lord Zodiac turn around and see a strange man behind him.
"Let me guess, a Godlinker?" Lord Zodiac stated, disgusted by the sight of Jiro.
"Correct," Jiro responded, moving closer to Lord Zodiac. "You see, a lot has changed since you met your demise. This world is now different from what you once knew. I suggest you perish any idea of you trying to take over Kakashi's body completely, and then take over this world."
Saying those words, Lord Zodiac began to laugh out loud like a maniac, causing a puzzled expression to etch on Jiro's face.
"This body is mine now. I don't know who set the dust free, but since I now dwell inside this body it now belongs to me." Lord Zodiac remarked, laughing uncontrollably after. "And yes, my agenda remains the same. And this time, no one can stop me. You Godlinkers and even Lord Genzen can try all you want."
Jiro halted his steps meters away from Lord Zodiac. "That's what you think. But let me tell you something good, you are only in control for a duration of time. Lord Zodiac drank blood to live back in the dark ages, and I assumed if I should make Kakashi bleed, you would take control of his body since you also needed to bleed to use your full power. The question now is, how long will you be in control? That's why I needed Kakashi to switch, to know just how long it'll take for him to switch back. Just in case." Jiro explained, a big smile evident on his face while he glanced at his watch to see the time. "One minute so far."
"I guess I have to kill you before you find out!" Lord Zodiac voiced, launching forward at incredible speed with his two fists clenched. "Killing you would send a message to the Godlinkers and also to Lord Genzen himself!"
"I like it when they get mad, hehe." Jiro chuckled, moving his head slightly, making Lord Zodiac's fist miss him by hair length. Lord Zodiac quickly retrieved his outstretched arm and punched it out once more towards Jiro's chest area.
"One of your minions did end my whole clan, you know," Jiro said, swerving his body sideways, and Lord Zodiac ended up punching nothing but thin air. "So I have to vent all my anger out on you since fighting those minions is just a waste of time."
Saying those words, Jiro leaped a few meters into the air, delivering a hammer-like kick toward Lord Zodiac's head. Lord Zodiac managed to lift up his arm and block the strike but wasn't fast enough to dodge the incoming black energy bolt.
The energy sent him flying and crashing into a rock nearby. "Three minutes," Jiro remarked as he watched Lord Zodiac try standing but ended up falling back down to his knees.
'What's happening?' Lord Zodiac pondered in confusion, his vision becoming blurry and his long claws beginning to vanish. 'So he's right, I can't be in total control? Dammit, I have to figure something o...' Unable to hold it anymore, he passed out.
Seconds after he passed out, the red hair on his head began to change back to Kakashi's initial orange hair, and his fierce looks returned back to Kakashi's innocent 15-year-old boy's looks.
"Huh, what the hell happened?" Kakashi questioned, stretching his body and yawning like someone who just woke up from a good night's sleep.
"I just affirmed the truth." Jiro intoned. "If you bleed, Lord Zodiac takes control of your body for a total of three minutes."
"What?" Kakashi exclaimed in shock. "So you mean he took control? Was that why you scratched me with that stone?"
"Yeah, sorry about that, I just couldn't walk up to you and say 'Hey, stand still while I tear your skin.'" Jiro responded. "But it seems you can't remember anything. What happened after you blacked out?"
"Hum...I can't really remember. I just blacked out, and then woke up now. It felt like I fell asleep. I don't know, it's crazy." Kakashi answered back, rubbing his spiky orange hair.
"It must be Lord Zodiac blocking your memory. He probably doesn't want you to know what he is on to while in control. That way we won't know what he is planning or his next move. Classic Zodiac, I like it." Jiro chuckled and shook his head.
"So what now? I can't just return back home knowing there is a thousand year old dude living inside of me, waiting for me to bleed so he can take control and kill everyone." Kakashi voiced, his expression filled with nervousness and stress.
"Well, you have to choose, Kakashi. Follow me to Godlinkers High, an academy that's filled with Chaos Energy users like me." Jiro responded. "You being merged with Lord Zodiac automatically makes you a target."
"What? A target? Why?!" Kakashi questioned in fear.
"Dude, have you ever been listening?" Jiro facepalmed and sighed. "Like I said before, there are lots of Chaos Energy users who worship Lord Zodiac and their goal is to resurrect him and continue his agenda. Since the dust is out of the supreme Jar, they must have sensed the strong energy of the dust, and they are probably out now to collect the dust or the Merger."
"But if you follow me back to the academy, I can keep you safe and also train you on how to defend yourself just in case," Jiro explained. "It's not like you will be safe in the academy though. Lord Zodiac is a threat to mankind, they won't spare you knowing there is a chance Lord Zodiac could take control. So either way, you are dead."
"Huh? So if I choose to leave, I'm dead, if I follow you, I'm still dead?" Kakashi blurted.
"If you follow me, your chances of living would be high. But only for a duration of time. You don't expect me to keep you safe forever, do you?" Jiro responded.
Kakashi stood there, his two fists clenched in anger. He has always felt extremely useless in this world. Every day he wished he was the one that had died in that car crash instead of his parents.
"No point in saving me." Kakashi started in a low tone, turning around, and began to make his way off the mountain. "Anything that wants to happen let it happen."
Jiro stood on the spot watching Kakashi make his decision and left. 'He can leave, but I will continue to keep an eye on him. Being the Merger makes him very dangerous. Any slight injury could end thousands of lives.' Jiro pondered, vanishing from the spot.

Suke tumbled as Jiro dived straight through him. Suke picked himself up. He swept all the corners of his mouth with his tongue. He raised his head halfway, his eyes hid below his lashes, a veil of darkness covering his gaze. He spat out blood, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. “Last chance dear friend. Bring. Him. To. Me.” Something sinister chorused in his words. His tone was like a sweet lullaby in the dark. Only this time, you are alone. Master Yonda dug his hand into the sheath hung by his hip. His sword glittered in the light. “You will have to go through me first,” he assumed a defensive stance. “What the hell is happening?” Daichi’s breath quickened. His voice cracked with a mixture of curiosity and fear. Zoa stared intensely at Kakashi. “Don’t worry Dai, I will not be like my father. This will be over soon.” Her eyes darkened. Daichi’s gaze spun towards Zoa. Words hid under his tongue, but his face communicated his feelings. A quizzical look like a detective thro

“Hey Zoa,” Tanya rushed to catch up with Zoa’s fleeting feet. “Zoa!” Zoa spun around. “What is it, Tanya?” She shot Tanya a glare. “I don’t like what is happening between us. I am sorry for anything I have done. Please, do not go on like this. Let us come back to what we used to be. I miss you. I miss my sister,” Tanya’s voice cracked, her face dropped into a plea hard to say no to. Zoa stood, rooted to the spot. Her eyes lingered on her, tears forming around her eyes. She opened her arms, pulling Tanya into a warm embrace. Her shoulders warmed with Tanya’s tears as they held each other in that position for what seemed like forever. They basked in their embrace, unconcerned about the passing gazes that fixed on them, the urgent feet that marched or even the touch of the commander. “Zoa!” She snapped out of her stare at Tanya. Tanya stood, her eyes still droopy. She rotated to a halt as she came face to face with Kokohashi. “Did you hear what I said?” Her head tilted. Her face cont

The gates opened and the people left their mouths ajar.“How is he alive?” “What is he doing here?” “What are those with him?” Yonda rode into the place he once called home. It looked bigger and better. There were new structures scattered on widened grounds. He looked at the place he once lived; embers of fire heat underneath the huge smoke that went up to the sky from there. Huge men vacated there with black dust covering their bodies. Yonda continued deep into where their leader stayed. “Hi. Where is Master Ji?” Yonda asked the boy from the top of his vehicle. “I don’t know who that is.” The boy said and then ran away. Oh, okay. “Yonda?” The musical voice that called behind him sounded familiar. He turned around to see Maika beneath a hoodie. His eyes sparked, the memory of their last time time together filling him up with joy. “Maika.”“I thought you died.” Maika whispered. “Why would you think that?” Yonda asked. “Um, my brother said you were taken by raiders and there was no

The annoying laughter from below him echoed in the back of his ears. He groaned awake, rolling on the bed. His eyes were wary of their new surroundings, parting slowly. He helped himself to sit back, leaning on the bed frame. His eyes widened as she walked in from the other room, her body drenched in water. Her eyes were suppressed under the heavy weight of beauty that crowned them. She wasn’t naked but there wasn’t much left to be imagined. She caught his stare from the mirror. Damn. What is that smile? That is beautiful. His eyes darted to the door flung open. “Oh, I see you’ve met her,” John said to Yonda, passing his glance from him to her. “She is quite incredible, is she not?” He strolled in without a care in the world. Yonda took his eyes off his brother, and back to the girl in front of the mirror. Her fingers clutched her shoulder, backing the mirror with her head dropped. She scampered off, back into where she appeared like an afterthought. “Why did you just walk in? You

“There is nothing more I can say, John. You two are going to be great men.” Master Ji drew them into himself in an embrace. “Great men that will be part of the stories of the new world. You do not have to worry about the unseen. You have each other. You have a week, prepare your minds.” Master Ji dropped his hands, taking his time to climb the stairs back up. “What do you think this is?” John marched towards Yonda. “Is he trying to send us away?” “This is not something any of us possess an understanding of. It is certainly a mystery. But he has been training us for a long time—” Yonda’s words were interrupted. “Never have been trained to go on a mission. Never.” John jumped in. “Never, I agree with you. That makes this mission even more important now. There is something hidden within that we might not understand now. But I do disagree with you. The master loves us too much to ever want us out of his sight. He came for you without blinking. Alone. The master wants to see something i

"Before you do that, I have something to tell you too.""What is it, Master?" John asked. Master Ji reached out to them to be guided up. John and Yonda hurried to his rescue as they took his hands, helping him up with ease."I can tell you, but I will rather show you boys what it is. Come with me." Master Ji walked ahead of them. Quizzical looks covered both of their faces as they marched behind their master."Where is this place, Master?" John called from behind."Be patient, my son.""Are you sure this is the way, Master?""Continue to follow me Yonda. Believe." Master Ji faced the wall, charging towards it."No!" Yonda and John rushed to pull Master Ji back. “What are you boys doing?” Master Ji dodged them, they dropped face-first into the ground. “Ow!” John winced. “What do you think you are doing?” “We wanted to save you,” John got up first, scrunching up his face as he held his waist. Yonda’s face peered from behind John. “You were going to hurt yourself. We had to save you.”
