"Work? What work?" asked Sasha.
Nicole stayed silent before getting up and packing her items.
"I will tell you later for now we have to see what this footage is about" said Nicole while pointing at the P.C on the ground.
Sasha nodded before Kevin started to decode the password. He stayed in his room trying all sorts of technological methods to break the password. Sasha and Nicole were outside the room where he was working and they both took a chair and sat on them.
"With soul energy we never use actual technology or advancements in industrial stuff," stated Sasha.
Nicole chuckled. "Yeah it is true but Kevin is very proficient in these type of things he should be able to decode it,"
Kevin slammed the keyboard a few times in frustration after over a dozen times of his methods not working. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and turned on the air conditioner in the room.
"The P.C has very well maintained security…Where did Nicole get it from?" pondered Kevin.
After an hour or so Nicole and Sasha were gossiping, chit-chatting, and enjoying food together before Kevin barged out and screamed.
"I opened it!" exclaimed Kevin.
Nicole got up and cleaned her hands with a napkin before chewing her food while she ran to the computer room.
Kevin inserted the footage into the P.C and it started to play. In the footage there were a lot of sewers and pipes along with a chamber in the center of all the maze of sewers.
"Play the footage in the chamber," said Nicole.
Kevin nodded and with a click of a button the footage changed to the chamber. Nicole asked Kevin to forward the time and then after a lot of fast-forwarding they reached the point where Xeno, Marline, Julian, and Danso were all in one place gathered together.
Sasha stood quietly and Kevin watched the scene with no expression.
And then a sudden horrific expression glued into Kevin's face as he saw avatars, dead people all appear like a dome around the man in blue hair.
Then they found a dead body and Xeno stabbed Marline in the back as he fell down bleeding to death. Xeno laughed for a while and it was clear that Danso could not hear what he said since he was zoning out and basically dying, but they could.
"I will make you pay for what your 75% did," said Xeno with a smirk on his face.
"See you again in the Barren Wastelands Danso Narahara," said Xeno.
Then the footage immediately stopped as Xeno stared at the camera and the camera broke.
Kevin got up and Sasha held her hand near her mouth while Nicole was slightly fazed.
"What happened to Danso?" asked Kevin.
He looked at Sasha before asking again.
"What happened?!" exclaimed Kevin this time holding Nicole's shoulders and shaking her.
"I…do not know," said Nicole.
Kevin left her shoulders and took a step back.
"We both cannot leave this place, so it is your responsibility to get him back," said Kevin with a serious expression.
Nicole nodded before packing her stuff and turning the knob to the exit and flipping the 'closed' sign to the 'open' sign.
"Where will you go now?" asked Sasha.
"To Rein," said Nicole.
Meanwhile in Ninjaro, in the headquarters of Suzumi Hokage. ]
"The boss said he would not be here for a while," said Izak, staring at the rest of the Crimson Eclipse sitting on the table.
The table was a stone slab with fancy wooden chairs with a symbol etched into its back. Zhou's chair had a brain while Izak's chair had a drop of blood.
There were four more chairs with three people sitting on them as one of the chairs, with a lightning bolt being absent. There was also a main chair which was to the end of the table which was reserved for Suzumi Hokage.
Zhou stared at everyone for a minute before remembering who they were.
The black haired man with bangs on the left side of his forehead was Sunny, he was a master in fire magic on par with Suzumi in fire manipulation and his symbol was none other than a pyro flame.
Then there was the fishman, who Suzumi had saved during their expedition to the Holy Springs. He was a slave who was freed and is repaying his debt to Suzumi by being part of the Crimson Eclipse. He was a master of water manipulation and his trident with an Azura gem powering it meant he was powerful and for a slave to have such talent and power it must mean he was either cunning and deceitful or just has good luck or he has talent but was born to the wrong family. His name was Arion Wellheart. His symbol was a trident.
There was Izak who he knew very well and then there was the Dwarf from the Dwarian Mountains. His story was similar to Arion but instead of being a slave who escaped he ended up outside the Dwarian Mountains by accident and has been searching for a way home for a long time. He met Suzumi, who promised him that he would return him home if he had agreed to help Suzumi. His name was Basatin Jadebender. His symbol was a minecart on some rails.
Then a medium height man with traditional ninja clothes walked into the room and sat in the chair with the lightning bolt. His sudden entrance felt disrespecting to Basatin and it infuriated him.
"Just because you are the youngest and most favored by the great Hokage doesn't give you the time to be late," said Basatin.
The man looked at Basatin with cold eyes before starting to speak while he slowly increased his soul energy output.
"I am the most favored because I had actually done something," said The man.
"Hiroshi…Yamamoto is it?" asked Zhou.
"And if it is?" asked Hiroshi.
"I've always found you intriguing yet you lost a battle against some samurai in Akuza during the raid, am I correct?" asked Zhou.
"He is not just some random samurai. If he wanted to, he could defeat all of us," replied Hiroshi.
"Oh…I know who he is, I've heard tales of a ninja and a samurai at night fighting crime," aggravated Zhou.
Hiroshi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth before creating a tsk sound of annoyance.
"That was in the past," said Hiroshi.
"Remember what Suzumi called you here for. Boy, don't get too cocky," said Arion.
Hiroshi unleashed all of his soul energy output and it created a dark blue lightning aura around him with his eyes turning dark blue as well.
Izak slammed the table with his fists and put a smile on his face.
"No fighting during meetings," said Izak calmly.
Sunny, who was quiet throughout the discussion finally broke his silence and started to laugh.
"All of you are immature brats," said Sunny.
All the members looked at Sunny who held his hands high up in the air sarcastically.
"Focus on the matter at hand," ordered Sunny with the sarcastic grin quickly replaced with a stone-hard glare.
Zhou cleared his throat before starting to speak.
"The First Ninjaro Raid was a success everywhere. We destroyed Lukia's government in Relvon, we managed to stall Takahashimi and capture him in Rein, we managed to create damage in Akuza, and finally we managed to seal Chiro Zanami and destroy the first ring of Jale," explained Zhou.
"Now Hiroshi went to negotiations with our 'ally' and came back with some news," said Izak.
"They basically said yes," said Hiroshi.
"So we have 'them' on our side now?" asked Arion.
"Yes, but they won't be fighting alongside us to take over Lukia, they will merely give us guidance by helping us in 'fate' related situations and some funding and materials," explained Hiroshi.
"Better having an ally than not having them," joked Sunny.
"Yes, especially if it is 'them' then I take back everything about what I said about this boy. You did good," said Basatin.
"Suzumi gave me some news the other day. We are taking the fight to Lukia. The climax of our revolution will occur in Northguard City," said Sunny.
