"Trust is something that should be earned with actions through time... it's always great to have someone to trust... but,when the trust is broken...are you ready to let go?"
*The clash between Shinitshi and Hayato began quickly, each one of them is trying to find one open spot to finish the fight*
Hayato:"What's wrong,boy? I am still warming up!"
Shinitshi:"You probably shouldn't hold back."
Hayato:"Yeah...I probably shouldn't!"
*Hayato became suddenly much faster, Shinitshi can't keep up against the attacks anymore*
*Shinitshi is trying to get back, but Hayato isn't giving him any space to move*
*Hayato's blades are starting to cut Shinitshi, with every small attack, Shinitshi is bleeding, all of his body is injured with those small cuts*
Hayato:"Where's your pride now?! Did you really think you can defeat a Legendary Guardian?!"
*Shinitshi tries to stab Hayato, but Hayato jumps to dodge it and kicks Shinitshi in the eye*
*Shinitshi can't open his left eye,and Hayato isn't giving him a break*
*Shinitshi breaks out of the house*
Hayato:"Trying wide space huh? Well bad for you,it won't work"
*Hayato and Shinitshi are fighting through the village,the civilians are running in fear*
*Shinitshi can't land even one attack on Hayato, Hayato keeps cutting Shinitshi while enjoying it*
*Shinitshi tries a counter attack, but he fails again,and Hayato kicks him through a house*
*Shinitshi walks out of the ruins*
Hayato:"Come on,that isn't even entertaining! If you are planning to keep the fight like that I will just kill you now!"
Shinitshi:"I understand…"
Hayato:"I am happy to hear that... now give me more fun!"
*Shinitshi surprises Hayato with his speed,and manages to make a cut in Hayato's shoulder*
*Hayato is shocked, Shinitshi's attack was as fast as his own attacks,or even faster*
Hayato (in a mad voice):"You think you can make fun of me?! Trying to make a good show?!"
Shinitshi:"I am not making fun of anybody...I was just learning your moves... Master Takemaru taught me that…"
Hayato:"Yeah... Takemaru... you know that if you somehow survived the fights against me,Reika,and Kaien,he is going to come for you...what a great scenario I just made!"
Shinitshi (in his mind):"I should stay focused...this isn't Jin or Kenta...this is a real Legendary Guardian"
Hayato:"And now you're ignoring me? Or maybe you can't defend yourself? Maybe you were working with Aetheria all along!"
*Shinitshi attacks again, but this time Hayato blocks the attack*
*The fight keeps going, everything is equal,both of them are blocking attacks and taking damage*
*Shinitshi starts running,and Hayato is going after him*
Hayato:"I admit it, you are smart, but I already know this trick"
*Shinitshi throws his sword at Hayato's right hand,and uses the piece of fabric he took from Diana's hair and tied it to the sword earlier to get his weapon back*
*Hayato can't believe it, now he can't use his right hand,he drops two of his blades*
Hayato (laughing crazily): "You... You little... You're dead!"
*Shinitshi keeps running and attacking, but Hayato's rage made him stronger*
*Hayato sees a flashback of the day The Great Master gave him his legendary weapon*
Hayato (in anger):"I won't let you…"
*Hayato hears The Great Master's voice*
The Great Master(in Hayato's mind):"Good job Hayato... You are a true example of what a legendary guardian should be…"
Hayato:"I won't lose to someone like you!"
*Shinitshi has the upper hand, it's a matter of time for him to win*
*They reached the forest,and Hayato moves the fight up on the trees,as a final try to win the fight*
*Shinitshi is hunting Hayato, Hayato barely has space to breathe*
"But then...from far away... Hayato saw Diana hiding in the middle of the trees…"
*Hayato leaves the fight, now he's leaping from a tree to another as fast as he can to reach Diana*
*Shinitshi notices that and tries to follow him*
Hayato (in a quiet but shaking voice):"I...I am going to take her down...I won't die honorless... That's for you, Master!"
*Diana is trying to run, but she's not fast enough, Shinitshi realized that*
Shinitshi screams:"Diana! Stay where you are! Don't try to escape!"
*Diana doesn't understand him,she sees Hayato coming closer to her with a terrifying face,she doesn't know what to do*
*Hayato is two steps away from Diana*
Shinitshi:"Just Trust me!"
*Diana stands still*
"In one moment that felt like decades for Shinitshi, Diana, and Hayato, Hayato raises his left hand to finish Daina, Shinitshi throws his sword again,it holds to Hayato's back, but Hayato doesn't feel pain anymore, Shinitshi pushes himself forward and takes one of Hayato's blades, Shinitshi puts himself in front of Diana,he takes the the attack on his back,and at the same moment...he stabs Hayato in his heart with the legendary weapon…"
*Diana catches her breath*
Diana:"Shinitshi! Are you ok?"
*Shinitshi ignores Diana,he holds Hayato between his arms*
Hayato (while the blood is coming out of his mouth):"You don't deserve this weapon…"
*Hayato closes his eyes…*
Shinitshi (in a quiet voice):"May you rest in peace…"
*Diana doesn't know what to say,she knows that she wasn't useful to Shinitshi through their journey, but she doesn't know what to do*
*Shinitshi takes takes the other blade, now he has two from four*
Shinitshi:"We will go back to the village to get the other two."
*Diana comes with him without a word*
*Shinitshi is bleeding,the wound on his back is deep*
*Diana can't stop looking at him*
Shinitshi:"There's a medical station in the village,I will handle myself there."
*Shinitshi hears someone coming*
Diana: "Let's do the Spiritual Connection! It's going to make your healing faster and help you fight!"
Shinitshi:"No... There is no fighting this time…"
Diana:"What do you mean?! Aren't they coming to kill us?!"
Shinitshi:"I can't fight him…I know that footsteps sound…"
*Kenta arrived,he has the other two blades with him*
*Kenta looks with a deep shock on his face,his eyes are moving between Shinitshi, Diana,and Master Hayato's dead body*
Shinitshi:"I don't know what to say...I am-"
Kenta:"Did you do it?..."
Shinitshi"(can't respond)"
Kenta (screaming):Did you kill a legendary guardian to protect this thing from Aetheria?!"
Shinitshi:"Yes...yes I did."
*Kenta starts crying*
*Kenta's students also arrived*
Shinitshi:"I won't fight you,Kenta...not for her... not even for the greater good... it's your choice, you can finish it right now,(Coughing blood)...or you can calm down and listen to me...I know I am asking too much... but you were always the nice one…"
Lisa:"What are you waiting for, Master?! Just say the word!"
Kenta:"I am sorry, Shinitshi... but I am doing this for Shoryu…"
