CHAPTER 6 – THE EMOTION IS DEATH

EPISODE 1 – IF IAM NOT- ASURA ARC (PART 1)

Lightning tore across the sky.

JEXTER:

"You don't understand…

He's not weak.

He's a monster.

He can kill you.

Easily."

Thunder exploded across the ocean.

BELOW THE SHIP

Yu and Yakichi were restrained by black shadow markings beneath their eyes.

Dark energy pulsed around them.

KIMO stood calmly in front of them.

YU (struggling):

"Kimo! Let us go! We can't even hear what's happening up there!"

KIMO:

"It's Jexter's order. I cannot disobey my boss."

YAKICHI (voice shaking):

"I… I'm scared."

YU (angry, emotional):

"Shut up! We're not criminals! We're his friends!"

KIMO (softly):

"I'm sorry. I can't do anything."

Yakichi slowly lifted his head.

YAKICHI (quietly):

"If you can't do anything…

Then it's time for me to do something."

Suddenly—

A red aura began leaking from Yakichi's body.

YU (shocked):

"Yakichi… what's happening to you?!"

The black markings under Yakichi's eyes started dissolving.

KIMO (stepping back):

"That seal… it never breaks."

Yakichi's eyes were now visible.

Burning.

Determined.

YAKICHI (calmly):

"I'm sorry, Yu."

YU:

"For what?!"

YAKICHI:

"It's time to save our friend."

KIMO (hesitating):

"You don't understand. Jexter… his father took him."

YAKICHI (confused):

"His father?"

KIMO:

"Asura."

Yakichi froze.

YAKICHI (whispering):

"Asu…ra?"

KIMO:

"Yes. Asura."

Suddenly, glowing text appeared before Yakichi's eyes.

ASURA – GOD OF THE SHIP CLAN

FIRST DISCOVERER OF THE TREASURE OF LEBRIALS

YAKICHI:

"What is Lebrials?"

KIMO:

"It is a forbidden treasure.

Within it lies the Skull-Tron Sword.

A blade that steals blood…

and absorbs strength."

Silence.

YAKICHI (firmly):

"Take me to Jexter."

KIMO:

"I can't."

YU (shouting):

"Then free me at least!"

KIMO:

"Once the seal binds the eyes… it cannot be removed."

YU:

"Then how did Yakichi's break?!"

KIMO (quietly):

"I… don't know."

ABOVE THE SHIP

Yakichi stepped into the storm.

YU (screaming from below):

"YAKICHI! STOP!"

Yakichi didn't turn back.

He grabbed a small boat and pushed it into the raging sea.

Rain hit his face.

Lightning flashed.

YAKICHI (to himself):

"Whatever happens…

I won't forgive Asura."

His voice trembled.

YAKICHI:

"Even if I die… I'll save Jexter."

His expression darkened.

YAKICHI:

"He killed my family."

YAKICHI – PAST

Snowstorm. 2 AM.

The doorbell rang.

Yakichi's parents rushed to the door with hope in their eyes.

MOTHER:

"Could it be…?"

FATHER:

"Our son…?"

They opened the door.

Gunshots echoed.

Both fell instantly.

Blood staining the snow.

A tall man stood there holding two guns.

He smiled.

ASURA:

"I am… Asura."

PRESENT

Yakichi stood alone in the small boat.

The storm swallowed him.

But his fear was gone.

Only rage remained.

Far ahead—

Asura's massive ship waited.

Lightning struck between them.

EPISODE END.

CHAPTER 6 – THE EMOTION IS DEATH

EPISODE 2 – I JUST NEED (ASURA ARC PART 2)

Yakichi stood alone in the small boat.

The storm swallowed him.

Rain hammered the sea.

But his fear was gone.

Only rage remained.

Far ahead—

Asura's massive ship waited in the darkness.

Lightning struck between the waves.

Yakichi slowly moved forward.

After some time, a huge shadow appeared in the distance.

Yakichi narrowed his eyes.

Yakichi:

"There it is…

I'm coming for you, Asura."

BELOW THE SHIP

Yu was still trapped in the boat with the seal.

Yu sighed loudly.

Yu:

"Hey Kimo… tell me a joke."

Kimo:

"You want a joke?"

Yu:

"Yes, please."

Kimo:

"Okay."

Kimo cleared his throat.

Kimo:

"A magician took a rabbit out of his hat."

Yu waited.

Yu:

"So what happened to the rabbit?"

Kimo smiled.

Kimo:

"It died. Hahahaha."

Yu stared at him in disbelief.

Yu:

"Shut the fuck up, Kimo.

That's not even a joke."

Kimo:

"Okay okay. I will tell another one."

Yu:

"No. Just let me out of this."

Kimo:

"I can't. It's an order."

Yu frowned.

Yu:

"Who the hell is Jexter to give you orders?"

Kimo looked at him quietly.

Kimo:

"He is the one who started the war between the weak and the strong in this world."

Yu froze.

Yu:

"…What?"

Kimo:

"Yes."

ON ASURA'S SHIP

Yakichi finally reached the giant ship.

He climbed quietly and hid in the shadows.

The crew members were drinking and laughing.

Beer bottles were scattered everywhere.

Asura sat in the center like a king.

Yakichi watched silently.

Yakichi (thinking):

"I need to focus only on Asura."

One crew member laughed.

Crew Member:

"Asura! Who did you capture this time?"

Everyone started laughing.

Suddenly—

Asura grabbed that crew member.

Then he started beating him brutally.

Punch after punch.

Blood burst from the man's mouth.

The entire crew went silent.

Yakichi's eyes widened.

Yakichi (whispering):

"Oh shit…

Asura is insane."

He clenched his fists.

Yakichi:

"I need to find Jexter quickly."

Yakichi began searching the ship.

Then he found him.

Jexter was tied to a metal pole.

Asura was pouring alcohol over him.

Asura:

"So, my son…"

He grabbed Jexter's hair.

Asura:

"Your little friends Yu and Yakichi didn't come."

Jexter smiled despite the pain.

Jexter:

"Monsters take time to arrive…"

Blood dripped from his mouth.

Jexter:

"And killing dogs like you takes only a second."

Asura's smile disappeared.

He grabbed a heavy iron chain from the table.

Then—

CRACK!

He whipped Jexter across the face.

Blood exploded from Jexter's mouth.

But Jexter started laughing.

Jexter:

"Hit me all you want…"

Blood flowed down his chin.

Jexter:

"But the monster… will come."

Suddenly—

THUD!

A rock smashed into Asura's head.

Asura turned instantly.

Asura:

"Who threw that?!"

The crew looked confused.

Crew:

"Not us!"

BELOW THE SHIP

Yu stretched his body.

Kimo suddenly removed the seal.

Yu:

"Finally!"

Kimo:

"Boss ordered it."

Yu rolled his shoulders.

Yu:

"Good… now where are Yakichi and Jexter?"

BACK ON THE SHIP

Yakichi stepped out of the shadows.

Yakichi:

"Asura… I came for revenge."

The crew burst into laughter.

Asura:

"Look everyone… the coward arrived."

More laughter.

Asura:

"Who would ever be scared of a weak bastard like you?"

Yakichi's eyes burned.

Yakichi:

"Your death is coming."

Asura smirked.

Asura:

"Catch him."

The crew rushed toward Yakichi.

Yakichi started fighting.

He smashed one man's head with a rock.

Kicked another into the railing.

Punch after punch.

But suddenly—

Asura grabbed Yakichi from behind.

Then—

BOOM!

A brutal punch landed on Yakichi's head.

Yakichi collapsed.

Unconscious.

Asura looked down at him.

Asura:

"Another sewer rat."

He kicked Yakichi's body.

Asura:

"You will die too."

Jexter lifted his head slowly.

Blood covered his face.

But he was smiling.

Jexter:

"Not… now…"

His voice was weak.

Jexter:

"Because the monster… is coming."

THE SKY

Suddenly—

The sky turned black.

Thunder exploded.

Massive waves rose across the ocean.

A tsunami began forming.

Lightning tore the sky apart.

The sea water slowly turned red.

Something was coming.

Something terrifying.

(ASURA ARC – PART 3)

Jexter's voice was weak.

"Because… the monster… is coming."

THE SKY

Suddenly—

The sky turned black.

Thunder exploded across the ocean.

Massive waves rose violently.

A tsunami began forming.

Lightning tore the sky apart.

The sea slowly turned red.

Something was coming.

Something terrifying.

Asura laughed.

Asura:

"Shut the fuck up. Nothing is coming."

The crew members began to panic.

Crew:

"Asura! What is happening?! We're scared!"

Asura:

"You cowards! Someone is just trying to scare us!"

Slowly…

Yakichi's eyes began to open.

Yakichi:

"…Where am I?"

Asura smirked.

Asura:

"Oh… so you finally woke up."

Yakichi tried to rush toward him—

But chains held him tightly.

Yakichi:

"Asura… this isn't right."

Asura laughed.

Asura:

"You always act like the hero, Yakichi."

He grabbed Yakichi's collar.

Asura:

"Let me show you the punishment for being a good person."

Suddenly—

The sky changed completely.

Blood began raining from the clouds.

The clouds turned dark red.

A terrifying scream echoed through the sky.

A monstrous roar.

Asura looked up.

Asura:

"What the hell is happening…?"

Suddenly—

A message appeared in front of Yakichi's eyes.

MESSAGE:

THE MONSTER IS COMING.

DO NOT ATTACK HIM.

IF YOU DO…

YOU

WILL

DIE.

Yakichi froze in shock.

Jexter looked at him.

Jexter:

"What happened… Yakichi?"

Yakichi whispered.

Yakichi:

"…It's over."

Asura pulled out his sword.

Asura:

"This is the end for you."

He raised the blade and thrust it toward Yakichi's stomach—

But suddenly—

CLANG!

The sword stopped.

Someone had grabbed it.

It was Yu.

YAKICHI'S PAST

When Yakichi was young…

He was diagnosed with cancer.

His parents were devastated.

They didn't have enough money for treatment.

He stayed in the hospital for four months.

Machines surrounded him.

Heart Rate: 90

Blood Pressure: 120

Breathing Support: Active

Doctor Kimicho spoke softly.

Doctor Kimicho:

"Mr. Kiba… your son has cancer."

Kiba nearly collapsed.

Kiba:

"…Can I see my son?"

Doctor:

"Yes."

Kiba entered Room 132.

Yakichi was lying on the hospital bed.

The doctor spoke quietly.

Doctor:

"Mr. Kiba… your son only has one day left."

Kiba began crying.

Yakichi slowly looked at him.

Yakichi:

"Dad…"

He smiled gently.

Yakichi:

"Dad… I still have one day left."

"I'm happy… that I'm your son."

"Not everyone gets a dad like you."

Kiba broke down.

Kiba:

"I'm sorry… son…"

"I'm so sorry!"

Yakichi kept smiling.

Then—

His breathing stopped.

Even that one day was taken from him.

The next day…

Yakichi's parents were murdered.

By Asura.

But on Yakichi's final day…

He met someone.

Miss Yuing.

Yakichi:

"Miss Yuing…"

Miss Yuing:

"Oh… hey Yakichi. How are you?"

Yakichi:

"I'm fine."

"I want to tell you something."

Miss Yuing:

"What is it?"

Yakichi smiled nervously.

Yakichi:

"I love you."

Miss Yuing blushed.

She walked away without answering.

But before leaving—

She turned back.

And smiled.

That day…

Was the best day of Yakichi's life.

That night—

At 11:45 PM

Yakichi died.

Kiba returned home.

Yakichi's mother asked nervously.

Camuro:

"Where is Yakichi?"

"Is he okay now?"

"Please tell me…"

She began crying.

"Please… tell me…"

"Please…"

She collapsed.

Kiba cried as well.

Kiba:

"I'm sorry Camuro…"

"I'm sorry."

"I couldn't save him."

BACK TO THE SHIP

Tears rolled down Yakichi's face.

Yakichi:

"Yu… please stop."

Yu:

"But why?! He killed your family!"

Yakichi:

"Just stop…"

Yu:

"But why?!"

Yakichi:

"I said stop!"

Yu finally stopped.

Suddenly—

Asura grabbed Yu and threw him across the deck.

Asura:

"Yakichi… you really want to die."

"Just like your pathetic family."

Suddenly—

Blood began flowing from Yakichi's eyes.

A horrifying growl echoed from inside him.

Asura looked confused.

Asura:

"…What was that noise?"

Yakichi slowly lifted his head.

His voice was no longer human.

Yakichi (Monster Voice):

"Asura…"

"I…"

"WILL…"

"KILL…"

"YOU."
