Baki, Tempest, Paddler, Abel and Alicia set out on a major off-road of a City, to somewhere.
|Conti City, Belt Empire|
PETELGEUSE
Baki and his people walk into a building that bears this name above.
As they go, Visitors and Teachers greet...
"Good morning, my Lords."
"You're highly welcome, my Lords."
They respond with a nod and a heartful smile.
_14- 12 - 2011_
"How tall are you now!!!" - Mecca.
Baki stands pridefully in a class, in front of students, with his hands on his waist.
The Kotetsu's following him, stand at strategic positions.
"7ft 5in." The current Baki declares and the class chants.
"Wow. That's why You're the One!" - Mecca.
"Hehe." Baki goes and the simulation pauses.
Mecca blinks with his hands on his waist and looks up.
On a building, Baki gets up from a squat, with his back towards the Moon.
"You tease me, bro!" - Baki.
"I have officially joined your Fanboy Club!! Now I see why Ferdinand is head over hills for you!!" Mecca declares with a grin while the people watch with a smile.
Baki with a smile, closes his eyes while laughing through his nose and opens them. Then he says...
"Like I said, you're teasing me."
"I am not, Lord Baki. You're our one and only God." - Mecca.
Baki's eyes widen slightly on the hearing of this. Then he calms them down and says with a smile...
"You're wrong."
Which after, makes a turn from his right and faces behind.
"Now if you all would excuse me... I have to get back to making some people cry." He says and makes a vast leap, up.
"NOW COME HERE..." He says while on the air. Then finishes after diving head first behind a building far in front...
"YOU FUCKING EGYPTIANS!!!"
A grand explosion comes forth and takes out everything in that area. The Egyptians wail.
"He is a sadist." Ferdinand declares with a smile and Mecca replies nothing while watching the show with a smile as well.
Mecca looks down while Akado holds a faint smile with her eyes closed.
Ferdinand looks down as well and the simulation resumes.
The class continues to chant...
"Lord Baki!" - Boy.
"The greatest!" - Boy II.
He strikes a pose.
"The finest!" - Girl.
He strikes another pose.
"Look at him go!" Mecca says and everyone laughs.
Baki stands erect and faces them.
The students get up as one and bow before him.
His people watch with a smile.
The students sit back down.
"Today I will be your Teacher! It's just me and you." He whispers last and they subtly laugh while he holds a smile.
He says...
"I will teach you what a Soul is. And why it is the same as Authority. Which is also the same as-Resilience."
The students watch with keen interest.
The Kotetsu's watch them do so.
He writes on the board behind him with a red marker in his right hand...
"S-A-R"
Then he brings it down, making it disappear on the way and then strikes the board with a firm cane.
"Repeat after me!" He says and goes as he points the cane on 'S'...
"Soul!"
"Soul!" - The Students.
He goes to 'A'...
"Authority!"
"Authority!" They say together.
Then finally, on 'R'...
"Annnndd Resilience!"
"Annnndd Resilience!" They do as he has done and the Kotetsu's laugh.
Then he chuckles and faces them with a clockwise turn. At the same time, he places the head of the cane on his left palm while holding a smile.
"Clap for yourself!" He requests and they do so.
A girl stands up and says with her hands on her desk...
"You Kotetsu's are amazing! What makes you so strong, so perfect, so everything! Born with super extraordinary Spirit Energy, your presence is worth glazing! I can't help but praise you all for eternity! Especially you, Lord Baki!" She says last while fixing her gaze on Baki with the turn of her face to the left.
Baki's smile grows keen and his eyes become heartful.
"Now, now, Babygirl. Please let us live a normal life. With all this praising, I'm afraid we will start to suffer." Abel by Baki's left says in a seductive manner and the class, including the girl laughs.
He stays with his back and left foot against the wall. Together with his arms folded.
"Oh Abel. Quit showing swag." Baki says while looking at him. Then he faces the girl and asks...
"What is your name?"
"Beatrice." She replies eagerly.
"What a wonderful name!" - Baki.
"Abel and Beatrice. When we have a child, the child can become the "C" in the family." Abel says and everyone burst into laughter.
Abel feels himself with a grin and closed eyes.
The laughs die down and everyone returns to normal.
"Soul, Authority and Resilience are one and the same. Without Soul, there is no Authority and without Authority, there is no Resilience. That is just the way it is." Baki says with his hands down, no cane in sight.
As he does, a wooden pillar with a blank paper nailed in front and on top rises. The students watch it do so.
He makes the final statement and the pillar completely stands at shoulder level.
He calls Sendai, drawn in his right hand and makes a casual horizontal slash to the right in front of the pillar.
A subtle force goes through and slices the paper in half.
The students go...
"Whoa!"
"Don't celebrate yet." Paddler says and they turn and see him at the back left edge. They see leaning with his left side against the wall, with folded arms; right before a shut window.
Baki makes a forceful horizontal slash to the right with his right leg curved forward and they look in unison.
The pillar destroys and their mouths open.
Nothing exists.
"Now you see." Baki says while taking himself up. He stands erect and says while making Sendai spin once in place...
"The Soul is gone."
"Once the Authority is shattered, nothing exists afterwards. It's just as you see it here... Nothing." Baki says while looking at the direction of where the pillar once was.
The students watch as well.
He faces them. They face him.
He puts arms before his chest, facing one another and makes Sendai Attract into his left hand.
He holds it and slices the middle his right forearm. Blood gushes and the first half falls.
The students become horrified. Especially Beatrice.
It lands, spills out blood and more pours on it.
"Without Authority, I won't be able to bring this back." He says and forces a new hand back.
The students with shocked faces, look down and see no more, the hand. They bring up their face and pretend as though they saw nothing.
"Did that...hurt?" A female student in the middle row and the column of 6 asks and he looks to his left.
He sees her and replies with a smile...
"No."
"Wow. But when I do it hurts-" She says. Tempest, who stands by the right in front of a shut window interrupts...
"Do what! You mean you've done this before!"
"N-No. I mean just a simple scratch." She replies.
"Oh? Thank goodness." He says in relief.
Baki faces them and says...
"I made it so."
"You made it...so?" A boy asks and Baki looks to his left. He sees him and replies...
"Yes. You all are Spirits. It's high time you make things happen." He declares while facing them.
He makes Sendai disappear and says with his palm facing up...
"When you lose it, don't say "I've lost my Resilience" neither should you say "I've lost my Soul". But rather say "I've lost my Authority". He says last while bringing down his hands.
They look in confusion.
He blinks.
"Resilience is how far or how long you can keep It. Soul is the existence of It. Then Authority... Authority is Authority. They are one and the same. I'm just teaching you how to call it in terms." He says and the simulation pauses.
"Damn you can teach! Chai!" - Mecca.
Sounds of clashes, grunts, stabs and groans come in.
"I've kind of got my hands full over here!!" Baki says.
"No you don't!" Mecca replies and the people laugh.
The simulation resumes.
"Well then, I will teach you Kendo." He says last while presenting a wooden sword in his right hand.
They look at the sword with shock, face him and express joy.
"Now will you all stand up"
Alicia says while moving forward from Abel's left.
She stops before them and drops her hands while finishing...
"Let me change the terrain of this place. We can't afford to be caught."
While she says the last, the students get up and stand by the right of their desks and chairs.
Students: 30
Male: 13
Female: 17
The desks and chairs sink and the floor fades from the back to pure white.
The students watch in awe.
The 4 windows become fully tinted.
The students look.
"With this, we won't be seen. If anyone passes, they would only see a class of lively students and a wonderful teacher." Alicia says and it comes to pass.
A male Teacher passes, sees exactly what he's meant to see and leaves with a smile.
"Why do you do this?" - Beatrice.
"My contract, Beako. I'm forbidden to teach you "Kendo". - Baki.
"But you're the Prince. You can do whatever you want." - Beatrice.
"I know. But that would put everything to chaos. I love it when things come naturally. But that doesn't mean I won't pull some strings once in a while." He replies last with a heartful smile, closed eyes and a head tilt to the left.
Beatrice smiles with closed eyes.
All the students hold in their hands, wooden swords.
Baki flips his own, it spins horizontally to left and he grabs it with his left hand.
"Let us begin." He says and brings it down.
He puts a steady glare at them and demands...
"Come at me."
The boy who asked Baki "you made it...so?" asks...
"You won't start with the basics?"
Baki looks to his left and asks while making a single blink...
"What is your name?"
"Uh, Sin!" He replies.
"Sin? That's a sexy name." - Baki.
"ARE YOU A SINNER!" Abel asks with a wild grin.
Everyone faces him, holds for a bit and bursts into laughter.
Sin laughs the most.
The noise dies down and Baki declares...
"You see! I'm not a fan of "going by the book". If you wanna know, know it your own way. Swordsmanship is Swordmanship. However you wave the sword, it will Kill."
The students become inspired.
"NOW... COME AT ME!!" He demands and they charge at once, letting out battle cries.
He takes a stance in wait for them while bearing on his face; a grin of intent.
They reach and he sends a slash to his upper right. A great force comes from it and sends all 30, flying back.
They land; on the floor and against the wall.
Baki makes a thrilled sound while turning his grin wild, and surges ahead.
Baki and the students come in clashing range. He gives off an evil chuckle and an explosion of light comes forth.
They scream and a few of them comes part of the walls.
Baki engages the rest. While so, Beatrice flies towards Abel and gets grabbed on the face by his right hand.
She dangles and he flings her back.
She flies straight and closes in on Baki, who sends a dude flying backwards with a strike.
Baki makes a sharp turn from the right and sends his right heel diagonally towards her.
It hits the left side of her head and he sends her flying to his left and goes full 360°.
He turns his face and watches her go with a grin while some of the students attempt to get up.
She clashes her back against the wall in-between the two windows and feels the impact. At the same time, in the present; a male Operator clashes back first into the wall of a building. His back blows open and blood splatters.
Both Bakis let out evil chuckles as the victims fall downwards.
Sounds of battle cries and surges erupt in both timelines.
The students rush him in all angles.
He watches them come with a wild grin and sets himself.
They close in.
His eyes bulge and his grin gets wilder.
He flashes to his right and sends five students (3 males, 2 females) flying in the same direction.
He sends five Operators (3 males, 2 females) flying as well in the same direction.
Their chests slice open and blood spews.
They go down and Baki attacks.
In both timelines, he parries and counters.
The students get crushed and collapse; crushed and sent flying. At the same time, the Operators and the Citizens receive their share. The only difference is the students ain't bleeding.
While he does this, he laughs like a maniac.
The Kotetsu's watch the students get pummeled and sent flying again to become part of the wall.
A boy while on his left knee, pants with his sword in his right hand. Another boy stays with a squat, panting by his left of him. His sword is in his left hand. As they do, close to the wall behind them, their classmates fly backwards by their sides and above toward it.
They hit and fall down, hit and bounce off the wall whereas a girl gets sunken from the head to neck; by the upper left of the 2nd boy. The fallen get up right away and runs straight.
As this happens, the first boy utters...
"He's getting scary."
"Yeah." The other responds.
"COME AT ME!!!" Baki orders and Abel goes with a high voice...
"Haaaa!"
The boys become agitated and take off.
Baki knocks off six male students in a row and watches the boys come at him with the wildest grin.
They come with their mouths open.
The second one gets knocked back with a force. The first watches him go with shock.
Then faces front and increases speed.
Baki sends his right leg towards the first boy's stomach while he closes in with his sword, held above in his hand.
Baki's leg connects and sends him on a great flight back.
He puts down his legs and Beatrice rushes in from his left.
In the present, a male Operator rushes in from the same direction as well.
Baki sends Sendai likewise the wooden sword in both hands and clashes with both Beatrice and the Operator. He does so with the blade over his left shoulder.
"You made me use both hands, Beako! Migoto! (Splendid!) MIGOTO! (MAGNIFICENT!)" He says in praise, turns his blade and makes a down strike.
She releases a shock sound and watches her sword snap. Likewise the Operator; blood spews from his body.
Baki sends his right foot to the upper part of her stomach. It connects and sends her back.
The Operator flies towards a pole with his back. The girl, towards the left edge.
They clash.
The girl passes out while the Operator sinks into the pole and dies, with blood falling down his mouth.
Blades rush him. He dances around them like it's nothing.
He kills the Egyptians and knocks out the students before him. He punches, kicks and slices them.
Suddenly he grabs one by his fore left; a male Operator and a male Student. Then slams the back of their heads on the ground.
He uses them as a support and lifts himself to the air, upside down. Then he rotates his feet and sends two (2 female Citizens, 2 female Students) flying in the direction of where they came from.
He flips the student, lands, carries him and uses him as a shield for the incoming students left (4 females, 2 males). Sin is among them.
They all attack him (The Operator and the Student)
The Operator: Blood spills
The Student: Bruises.
Baki goes back as this happens.
Suddenly, he stops and unleashes a grand force at them.
The Students, the Operator and Citizens fighting (Same number, same gender) go back with power. Ofc, the opps get blown to bits.
He sets his eyes on the female Student and Operator in the middle. He makes a jump while letting go of his victim. Right away, he spins clockwise, goes 360° and left kicks him (Student and Operator) at the back forward.
A full collision occurs and all gets smashed into the wall behind.
Sin watches in horror, him being the last man.
Baki throws up the sword in his left hand and surges after him.
Sin looks to his left, sees Baki coming, locks in and tosses his sword in his right, to the right.
"Did you slow down for him or something?" Mecca asks while he tosses the sword.
Sin surges while Baki replies as both run towards themselves...
"I had to give him a chance."
They reach and engage in tremendous hand-to-hand. Baki dominates throughout.
"Bro, take it easy!" - Mecca.
Chops, punches, kicks and grunts (from Sin)
"Doushita! (What's wrong!) Doushita!(What's wrong!) Doushita!! (What's wrong!) What's the problem, son!!" Baki asks last while giving Sin a resounding right kick to the stomach.
He goes back a little with a strong grunt, looking down with his eyes closed.
He looks straight and gasps.
He sees Baki shadow boxing the space before him and genuinely landing hits.
He screams like never before on each combo while Baki closes the gap.
"Wtf is this!" - Mecca.
He closes in and gives a heavy left to the upper right side of Sin's head, down.
The sound barrier shatters and everywhere goes white.
"Name that attack." - Mecca.
"Pre-Dominance." - Baki.
"You can't be any more corny, bro." Mecca confesses and everyone, including Baki laughs.
Most of the Students groan in pain while the rest stay blacked out. Sin struggles to get up but fails.
Baki stands erect and observes his hand work.
"Amazing foot work, my Lord!" - Paddler.
"Haha!" - Baki.
"Diabolical." - Mecca.
Baki sees some sunk in the walls. The girl who hangs with her head and the rest.
He chuckles and waves his right hand.
The students come alive and stand in line before him.
Dumbfounded, they are!
"Well done! I truly enjoyed this!" - Baki.
"Baki look, they're traumatized." - Alicia.
Baki faces them from looking at her and declares with a wild smirk...
"This is only the beginning."
"A step closer to understanding what being a Spirit is!" He says further.
The door bursts open and the male Teacher who peeped walks in with his arms spread up, talking 'bout...
"This is it, my Lord! You delivered wonderfully!"
Baki looks at him slightly by his left while holding a smirk and calls...
"The Waters Before Me."
"That is my name!" He acknowledges while bringing down his arms and stands by him.
"I thought you said you were forbidden?" Sin asks and they look at him.
He stands at the front.
Baki smiles and says while looking to his lower right...
"Well,
"I lied." He faces him and finishes with a big smile.
They stay dumbfounded.
"Go and rest. This night, I will come for you." Baki says.
They blink in unison.
It is Night.
Inside a room of a grand mansion, one of the girls sleeps soundly upon a bed. All two windows, shut.
Her light snores suddenly turn heavy.
Baki comes from the sky and lands with force on the window before her.
She wakes up and screams.
Baki grins with worry and she relaxes.
He slides the Sash to the left and it opens.
He puts his right foot on the bottom Sill and extends his right hand while hanging with his left foot on the air. He now says...
"Come, Nina."
"Where are we going?" She asks while setting her feet on the floor. She gets up after and comes toward him.
"The Nations." He answers.
"The Nations?" She asks and takes his hand.
"Yeah." He replies and lifts her.
She balances on the Sill with his guidance.
"What about my Old Heads?" She asks while looking down. Her Pajamas changes to a sexy outfit as she does.
"Worry not, Princess. I've had that covered." He says the last in assurance, referring to the letter he placed above the shut door of the entrance.
"Bad guy!" - Mecca.
"I never left." - Baki.
She looks at him by her left while he looks down on the ground.
"Have you flown before?"
"No." She replies while waving her face.
She stops and he looks at her with his face closest to hers.
Her eyes open.
"Alright then." He utters with a grin, grabs her and falls sideways.
"This will be your first time." He says as they both fall with their fronts towards the ground.
By his right, he bears her.
She screams.
They fall for a little while and drop (mid-air) closest to the ground. Then take off with speed ahead.
They fly across the vast land and scale through the tall fence immediately.
They enter the street and Nina asks...
"So, are we just gonna fly there?"
"No I have a Trailer waiting at the end of the street. Your mates are there." He replies.
"What!" She asks while looking at him.
He chuckles.
"It's too far. Why?" Nina asks while the flight keeps on strong.
"So we can spend some time together." He replies.
She laughs.
"What?" - Baki.
"Nothing." - Nina.
He smiles and sounds of gathering forces come behind.
"What's that?" She asks while looking with a head turn from the left.
The forces gather completely and send them off in the way of a 'Sonic Boom'.
She screams like mad and he laughs out loud.
"With the way we're going, we should be there by now!" She says while taking cover.
"Ehh? About that." He says in worry.
"Mmh?" She goes while facing him.
"No...way." She says and they carry on.
A Big, Red open Trailer awaits them.
Out of interior darkness, Abel walks out and stays put (with swag), upside down at the upper edge.
"That swag!" - Mecca.
Baki and Nina arrive and he extends his right hand.
Nina extends hers.
He grabs it and throws them in.
Baki lands, somersaults to his feet and walks to his left while she slides forward on her face with her legs up.
She stops and they fall.
"Nina?" Beatrice calls and she looks up.
She sees all mates and leaves out a heartful smile.
Baki and Abel dap with their rights, shake the air and let go; by the left edge of the Trailer.
"Took you long enough." - Abel.
"Sorry." Baki apologizes and walks to his right.
Abel faces his direction, folds his arms and says...
"At a point, I felt an extension between our worlds."
"Bad habit." He confesses while approaching the Students.
Paddler starts the Trailer and moves it with Alicia and Tempest by his right.
The Hatch seals with a down roll.
They disappear into the fog.
TO BE CONTINUED.
It is Morning.
One of the doors to the entrance of the mansion opens and the letter falls.
It lands on the head of a woman.
She makes a sound as it slides. Then she catches it with her left hand.
She reads it, blinks and calls while looking behind from the right...
"Anata! (Honey!)"
"Yes, my sumptuous Queen!" The man responds while coming out.
He reaches her right and she hands over the paper, saying...
"Read this."
He reads while both hold it. She re-reads.
"Nina's Old Heads, I'm sorry, I took her. Not for anything o! No, ofc not! On a trip. You'll see her in 2 weeks time and maybe on the TV before that time, who knows?
Just know she's safe.
Your Prince,
Baki -Rip it off here-
The man does as it says and it reveals...
CHAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!" - Baki.
They blink and look ahead.
