Xene was still alive, and in Hidan's body has shown himself before everyone. Xene's biggest plan carried with it the hopes of ridding of Saku for good...had from the looks of things had failed. All of Saku's friends, who had crippled by splitting headache, felt the pain being relieved. Xene at first thought he had succeeded...but instead he found everyone could still remember Saku clearly. And Anaeus, Anastasia, Ellie and Mochi were now solid...and appeared no longer at threat from disappearing.

Sora and Ayoko had been taken back to Saku's past, to the day his path in life started. Xene had stopped a goon striking Saku's mother, the first step to the rest of his life. However Sora ignited Saku's anger and thus recorrected his life. Sora and Saku now stand before Saku, well floating, in an endless white space. They both fell guilty, as a result of their action means...Saku became rankless. Yet Saku smiles upon them

"Sora, Ayoko...thank you for saving my life"


Both were surprised at his words, and the tear which ran down his face which he wiped away with his sleeve "don't feel guilty for what you did" said Saku honestly "it's because of that action, which allowed me to live that life"

"what...what do you mean Saku?" asked Sora

"There's a reason...he targeted that day Sora. But because of you two, I was seen, then sealed to become who I am now"

"so...it was a good thing?" asked Ayoko a bit confused

"I...believe it was. No one had any idea, I had that power at only 5. And neither still do I. I had no control over my power, I just wanted the attacker to suffer. The way I see it, if Xene did succeed I wouldn't be here right now"


Sora and Ayoko looked curious "The cause Bio-poisoning. Or something along that line"

"wait...what do you mean?" asked Ayoko

"when my...sealed power, began to seep out, I still had no control over it. When it fully came out, I erupted in rage and attacked with everything I had. I didn't care who was in my firing line, I just wanted to let my anger out. After that I was a wreck, and because of that my own power...began to kill me"

"why is that?" asked Sora

"would you be able to accept a power, right away...that only seems to hurt others?"


Sora thought about this "Not...right away no. Especially if I was by myself"

"My friends...helped me accept my power" said Saku putting his hand on his chest "and showed me, it wasn't as bad as I thought. If Xene had succeeded, and my power didn't come, I would've never been sealed. Then my power will have remained un-noticed, slowly ravaging my body...until I succumbed and passed on"

Saku looked at his hand "by the time my seal was undone, I was old enough, strong enough...and with friends to control my power. Which is something that wouldn't have been possible, as a child"

"How did you...work out all this?" said Sora

"Xene, has a good reason for wanting me dead. And I thought, why would he target that day...and that's the answer I came with up"

"but...how can you be sure?" asked Ayoko

"because Xene is a sadist. Killing me off with a car accident or lightning strike would've been boring to him. Either way, the certainty is...I wouldn't have made it. Because of Xene's circumstances, I know that for certain"


Saku then smiled "So because of your action, I'm still alive. Although I'm not sure which one is real now. The one where my mother got hit...or you. But, I can think of a much simpler reason to thank you for what you did"

"Oh...what's that?" asked Ayoko to which Saku put a hand on her head

"Getting to know you, your sister...and everyone else" Ayoko looked a bit surprised...as she gazed at him with her visible "wouldn't you think that'd be a good reason?" Ayoko then lit up, and vaulted into Saku.


Saku rubbed her head "yeah...I thought as much huh" Saku pushed back with a smile before looking to Sora who was smiling herself, a little teary eyed

"Saku...I mean Father" said Sora happily "I'm glad...to have met you too"

"then no feeling guilty okay? Daddy's order okay?" Sora nodded "Well we'd best get back"

"but how do we get back from here?" said Ayoko to which suddenly the world became blinding

"you say the password of course" the three had to close their eyes from the blinding light...but when they opened them they found themselves...in Saku's dorm room.

Saku looked round "you know, you'd think we'd have appeared in the same place. Well we'd best get back, Xene will soon work out his plan has gone wrong"

"yeah...okay" said Ayoko going out the door "let's go" Saku was about to run after her

"hey Dad...wait" said Sora as she lifted up her hair. Sora then undid her sash, to which she changed back to Laura. Her hair becoming two-toned and long, and her bangs of hair gently rolled up "I don't want to hide who I am anymore"


Laura then reversed her sash, and re-tied it around her arm "this way, I can still wear it...but I stay as I am"

"Not a bad idea...Laura" said Saku "your hair looks a bit strange been two-toned, but it suits you rather well. Reminds me of your mom" Ayoko had then darted back

"you two hurry up" said Ayoko gesturing then to follow her

"alright" said Laura "Father lets go"  Saku nodded and lead the way with Ayoko and Laura. Saku looked back on them, and then forward with a smile

"To think...I hated that day for so long. And now...I'm thankful for it. They say everything has a bright side, it just took a while finding mine"


In the training hall everyone was recovering from the pain while Xene was left bewildered "How...how is this happening? They still remember everything about Saku?"

"Of course we do, and would you shut up" said Lexi "we've got rid of one head-ache we don't need another" Mochi had got up but was dizzy

"Aries, my head feels all foggy" Aries held her steady

"just give it a few minutes Mochi" said Aries smiling "and you'll be fine, as will I when my head stops throbbing" Aries rubbed her head

"I hope you have enjoyed your moment Xene" said Cora, already stood, cracking her knuckles "because I'm going to make your head hurt just as much as mine"


Xene tightly clasped his hands, looking very irritated "how? I altered his life so he wouldn't exist today!? Dam you Jay!"

"It seems Sora and Ayoko were successful" said Jay falling to his knees looking very fatigued "they managed to save Saku from your plan"

"I shouldn't just done away with them the moment I first laid eyes on them" Xene turned to Anaeus helping Anastasia to her feet

"up you come Ana. Just take it slowly" Xene then thrust his hands forward

"Dam...Dam you all" he produced another plasma ball "Death Shock Ball!" he shot the sphere directly at Anastasia and Anaeus.


Everyone was still woozy from the experience and Jay was too tired. Logan tried to get up "Dam it, it's coming. And we're all still recovering" Kai then reacted and turned to his left

"Logan...look to your left" said Kai to which Logan then smiled "it looks like we bought enough time" the plasma sphere was almost upon them

"time for you to die!" said Xene loudly when Logan spoke

"Oh Xene. Gaze your peepers upwards" said Logan to which Xene did look up...to look horrified at a familiar figure with his fist risen high

"Ikari Noooo" everyone looked up "Tensui!" with powerful downward smash the plasma ball was ploughed into the ground.


Everyone looked to the smoke while Lexi looked puzzled "Ikari no...tensui? What the heck does the mean?"

"the...hammer of wrath" said Mochi before reacting "Saku!" everyone turned to the smoke cloud, to see the familiar figure of Saku with his fist in the ground, or over the indent he had made. Saku swung his arm out and looked at Xene

"Don't you ever quit Xene" said Saku standing "trying to take cheap shots" Xene looked infuriated

"how...how did you!?"

"The thanks...go to them" Saku gestured to Laura and Ayoko.


As they stepped into the room, everyone looked curiously at Laura "hey Lexi...isn't that?" said Aries looking at her

"So we are thinking the same thing then?" said Lexi "it looks like...Laura. But it can't be? Can it?"

"hey Kai" said Logan "do you know the girl with the two-toned hair?"

"ummm...no" said Kai "but on notable inspection, she looks a lot like Anastasia" Logan then looked between Laura and Anastasia

"They do look the same, but I thought Ana was an only child. Who is she anyway? I know I've seen her somewhere before"


 Xene tightly clenched his hands and stared angrily at Ayoko and Laura "you! You two ruined everything!"

"So what if we did!" said Laura irritated "We won't about to let you get away with everything"

"that's right you big bully" said Ayoko "you only like to hurt people, and it's not nice"

"you keep underestimating them Xene" said Saku "you seem to enjoy causing pain and misery calling feeling like kindness and friendship worthless"

"because they are" said Xene plainly

"If you say so. Oh by the way, you'd better have some ointment handy" Xene looked puzzled "well, I did kind of blow-up in-front of you" before Xene could reacted he was suddenly blasted backwards while feeling an intense burning pain spread all across his body.


Xene was now squirming on the ground, holding his face in sheer pain. Anaeus looked at him "I would ask why he's in so much pain. But I don't care. It's a relief to see you Saku"

"and the same to you" said Saku before Anastasia suddenly hugged him "hey, what's up with you?"

"I am allowed to be worried about you, you know" said Anastasia holding him "I mean it's only natural being your girlfriend" Saku rubbed her back before she then let go. Anastasia then looked at Ayoko and Sora "well done you two. You both did real good" they both blushed and turned red.

Saku went to Suzuna who looked dizzy "hey Suzuna, how are you feeling...okay?"

"I will be soon Master" said Suzuna "I'm just feeling a bit light headed is all. I will be fine soon" Suzuna stumbled to which Saku helped her

"Easy, easy don't rush it" Saku waited until she was stable

"thank you...Master" Suzuna then hugged him for a moment "So, you are real" Suzuna then let go and blushed "sorry I just wanted to be sure" Saku chuckled and rubbed her head

"I'm fine, thank you Suzuna"


Saku then looked at Ellie "What about you Ellie? You're not hurt are you?" Ellie then sweetly smiled and hugged him

"Oh, aren't you a dear for worrying about little old me?"

"Ellie" said Anastasia frowning "ahem, do you mind letting him go? He sort of...can't breathe you know" Ellie had pulled Saku into her chest to which she released him

"oh I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Saku however just let a deep breath out

"it's alright. I held my breath" said Saku happily "I'm starting to get used to it. And don't feel bad, Aries does it worse than you" Saku whispered "I actually fainted once"

"I can sort of imagine that. She isn't exactly small is she?" Ellie and Saku turned to Aries and saw her smothering Mochi

"No she is not. I'm even packing a straw for emergencies" Ellie just laughed and rubbed his head

"good to have you back"


Saku then turned to Pulya came forward "what happened to you while you were away?"

"hmm...I took a trip down memory lane" said Saku truthfully "that's the best way to put it. Are you alright...your majesty?" Saku made a small bow to which Pulya lightly bashed his head

"no cheekiness from you" Saku rubbed his head

"Alright sorry Alexandra. I wanted to try that once" Pulya smiled while Saku gestured a hand forward "sorry about that"

"it's alright" and Pulya shook his hand.


Pulya then stepped back while Lexi came forward "hey Saku. That girl there, I keep looking at her, and I'm sure she's...you know"

"hey Saku" said Mochi "Is she, her twin or something?" Saku then gestured Laura forward to everyone

"Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to Laura. Who you all knew as Sora" Laura bowed

"Sorry for deceiving you all" said Laura "I've been hiding who I am from...him over there" looking at Xene who was still squirming on the floor "and I'd like you all to call me Laura"


Aries came forward looking at Laura with a sense of almost longing "Laura, is that really you? I mean, really you?"

"not quite the same" said Saku "but she might as well be. I would fully explain, but it's a bit disbelieving"

"what exactly do you mean?" asked Lexi with her hands on her sides "I mean Ayoko has a birthmark like your scar, and Sora looks exactly Laura"

"actually on a closer look" said Cora stepping forward "when I look at Laura, I'm reminded of you Saku"

"yeah...I see it too" said Aries "What's going on?" Laura and Saku then smirked

 "Even if I told you, you won't believe me" said Saku "don't worry though, I'll soon show you, but for now, a hint. Please draw your attention to this" Saku pointed to the sash tied around Laura's arm.


Mochi looked carefully at it "that looks...a lot like the sash that you have Saku. It's the same colour and everything"

"It was given to me by my Father" said Laura looking at it "he was given it by a friend, and he then passed on to me" Saku turned to Xene who was beginning to recover

"Well I'll leave you to work out" said Saku "it looks like Xene has stopped doing the worm, or whatever he's been doing"

"Saku...Saku" waved Logan "over here a moment"

"alright Logan. Well there's your hint, see yer"


Cora went into thinking "so you and Ayoko share similarities to Saku? And now that I look at you, your curls of hair match Anastasia"

"there's a...reason for that" said Laura looking secretive "but for now you're best of waiting for Saku"

"Why do I get the feeling something big is on the way?" said Lexi folding her arms "and I'm not often wrong"

"I, share the same feeling" said Aries "for now we can only sit and wait"


Saku went over to Logan "Well Logan, what do you want? Not being rude, but Xene has nearly finished his dance"

"Alright, alright I'll make it short" said Logan "while I was getting a pasting, I got to see how Xene fought. And he's not too different from Jay"

"he's quite brutal in his attacks" said Jay "and goes on the offensive quite a lot. While this may harm his defence, his speed and evasion make up for it"

"I'll take that to note...thanks Jay. And from looking at you, you went up against Xene"

"Not really no. I was merely stalling for time"

"he was still hurt from his battle with you" said Kai "all he could manage was cancelling out his lightning attacks"


Saku looked to Jay who looked away "I...do not wish to follow Xene anymore. I know what I want...isn't with him"

"thanks Jay, for buying me some time" said Saku honestly "don't think I'm going to forgive you yet, but you've made a start. So again thank you"  Jay simply nodded "well if you three got blown away by Xene, then what about him?" Saku referred to Ryuu who was lightly snoring

"He got too big for his boots and knocked out" said Logan to which Saku face-palmed himself "anyway go on, you'd better get over. Just be careful. Xene went against all of us able, being me Kai and Ryuu, went full throttle but we couldn't even land a blow"

"Don't worry Logan" said Saku "I don't plan on letting him win"


Saku went over to Xene, in Hidan's body, who was now stood...and no-where near happy. Xene's, or Hidan's, clothes were now tattered, charred in several places while the right side of his face was badly burnt. Saku just frowned "have you quite finished being a coward? You've gone down every route except going after me"

"What...what happened?" said Xene "why is my face burning?"

"I sort of blew up in your face, quite literally. Back then my red aura was like that of fire"

Xene pulled his hand away showing his burnt cheek "so, you're the reason I'm currently in pain"

"it was your own stupid fault" said Saku with no sympathy "next time, target a day where I don't burn an entire mansion to the ground" Xene almost growled

"You...why don't you just croak it already!"

"then do it yourself" said Saku producing the tuners "instead relying on these underhanded schemes" Saku clasped his hand around the red tuner emerging in his brave form

"fine then, I will! But don't you want to be better equipped than that" Saku produced his aura blade

"Nope. I'll fight the real coward only, until then...you're not worth it" Xene then reacted and burst forward. Xene quickly charged forward and struck several punches forward. Saku blocked the punches with his blade before then striking him with a vertical slice making him stagger backwards. Saku then struck with a round kick sending Xene backwards.


Saku put his sword to one side as Xene got up "the aura-overdrive merely unlocked my aura fully" said Saku "I use my aura then to enhance my physical abilities. The brave tuner does the same thing, just without the aura upgrade"

"you cheeky git!" Xene charged in again striking with punches and kicks, but Saku merely avoided the attacks and then went under a punch. Saku with a low sweep tripped Xene up before rising up, and striking a forward punch into Xene's chest sending him backwards. Xene quickly got up and resumed the battle

Logan was watching in mild awe "We worked our bleeding socks off trying to keep this creep at bay, Saku is barely trying and Xene is falling all over the place"

"right now Xene is just letting his anger fight" said Kai "he's not thinking about his moves at all. Although I will admit, I'm surprise how easy Saku is handling this" Jay watched curiously as Saku fended off Xene

Saku is anticipating Xene's movements exactly. As if he has battled Xene before. Have those two fought in the past?.


Xene was becoming a bit tired while Saku looked quite strong "have you quite finished having a hissy-fit? This fight is becoming state" Xene looked quite livid but then began to calm down

"You're really starting to piss me off" said Xene beginning to relax "I don't see why I have to lower myself to fight you, a lowly worm"

"the same can be applied" Xene narrowed his eyes "so can we get this over with. I plan on making you pay for everything you've done"

 (START)

Xene crossed his arms and tensed his body "As they say, if you want something done properly...you do it yourself" a dark purple aura began to rise up around him, making Hidan's charred clothes flap, then with an uncross of his arms and a loud shout Xene stood ready. His aura became a pointed dome steadily rising with small black sparks "Well here it is...my full power in all its glory" Saku reverted and produced the tuners

"Well...here's mine" Saku closed his hand around the aura-overdrive tuner. After a flash of light, Saku stood changed. Saku wore white gloves and shoes, black pants with two white stripes and a black t-shirt with a white X. Saku's hair was also now spiky and bright white, and his eyes red in colour.


Lexi looked upon "What the? His hair is all white and stuff?"

"that's the aura-overdrive" said Laura overhearing her "he got it from Ayoko and makes all his aura super strong"

"Then it'll be interesting to see" said Aries "on a closer note, his hair looks like Anaeus"

"Oh come on!" said Lexi getting a tad annoyed "now he looks similar to him. Why does he share resemblance to all three? And our clue is the sash around Laura's arm"

Saku...just what is it you aren't telling us? Thought Cora


Saku produced an energy blast "We'll start when this energy blast lands on the ground" Saku threw it in the air

"if you say so" said Xene preparing himself "I hope you're ready" Saku saw the blast coming down

"I hope you are as well" Saku looked upon Hidan

"I'm going to stop you here. I'm going to show the world who you are...Xene Coven." Then as Saku's energy blast landed the two went after each other.


Saku and Xene immediately exchanged punches each other, each of their fists pushing against each other. Xene then momentarily flinched and Saku pushed past Xene's fist striking a good blow to his cheek. Saku then followed up with several more punches and kickes before putting both hands forward shooting Xene with a close-range energy blast.

Xene was sent backwards, his feet scraping alone the floor keeping him upright. Then as he stopped he appeared in a very slight daze "I wonder if the recoil of the S-tuner is finally getting to him" said Saku "or rather the body of Hidan. This means he won't be able to handle my full power"

"what you dazing around for?" said Xene running forward "getting tired" Saku brought out his aura of white, with blue wisps and red and orange flecks

"no not now" Saku said quietly "but in order to take the advantage, I will be" Xene jumped forward Saku, who jumped faster forward catching Xene by surprising landing a clothesline to Xene's neck sending him backward.

Xene flipped backwards and landed on his feet, in a crouch position rubbing his neck. Xene then looked up only just jumped backwards to see Saku smash a punch into the floor. Saku however used his spare hand to shoot Xene with a beam of energy. Xene was blasted backwards, but used his feet and then, in a shockwave, let loose a shockwave of lightning blocking the beam, resulting in an explosion.


As Xene was just about to relax Saku burst through the smoke and struck a strong punch to Xene's gut making him gag and couch. Saku then let loose many varied punches and kicks to Xene before sending him upwards with an uppercut. Xene managed to recover and saw Saku jumping up towards him. Xene shot bolts of lightning. Saku shot blasts of energy blocking the lightning bolts until he rose above him.

Saku rose high in the air, pressing his wrists together and bringing them to his side. Between his hands a sphere of energy began to form which Xene noticed "Oh boy, I know that pose...he's preparing a big one. I've better stop him here" Xene raised his hands up and summoned a large chunk of the ground a little above him. Xene then brought his hands behind him, tensing them tightly before thrusting them forward propelling the chunk of earth with a concentrated beam of wind.


As Saku saw the chunk of earth being propelled towards him he smirked and instead produced a small sphere of energy and threw it above him. Then he shot a beam of energy at the debris, to level it out then landed on it. Saku however very quickly got down to all fours and jumped higher still into the air, spinning rapidly forward. Then as he reached his sphere, he unfurled his legs in a red X over sphere. Saku didn't stop and continued flipping upward, uncrossing his legs again to make a bigger blue X over the red one and then an even bigger white X over the blue.

Saku stopped spinning and thrust his hands forward firing a blast of energy at the centre of the X's "Triple X...Calam...it...TYY!!!" As the sphere struck the X's, a triple beam of devastating power burst out of the centre. About 2.6 ft in width the beam was a mainly white with two comet-like energy blasts of red and blue circulating around it. 


Xene saw the beam of tremendous power approach him "Wha...what is this? If I don't stop this..." Xene began to focus and tense his body but then to his horror "Ahhhh....dam the recoil, not now!" his body momentarily throbbed from pain which meant "Dam...I won't make it..." he was struck with the beam of power which sent him hurtling into the ground, with a great colossal smash.

 (END)

Saku's friends (except his family, Jay and Anastasia) were in mild awe. Logan's jaw was lagging "how-wow-how-wow" was what he managed to say

"I don't know the how" said Kai "but yes...Wow"

"I've never seen an attack of that power before" said Pulya "and using the opponents own attack as a set up...quite a stroke of genius"

"Master is definitely strong" said Suzuna "he was fighting more aggressively due to Xene weakening from combat."


Saku's sisters were just as surprised "Aries" said Lexi also looking gobsmacked "are you sure this is the same Saku? It's been only three months. That's it three! Before I was level pegging with him, now...well..."

"Yes, I am too surprised by his rate of progress" said Aries looking up at him "this isn't something simple training can achieve. He must have a driving force behind him, one that pushes him forward" Cora looked up at Saku

A driving force? I wonder...if it's those three, Laura, Anaeus and Ayoko. And why do I get the strange feeling, it's almost time to bestow upon Saku a last message...from Father. However the condition, should be impossible at this time? Or...is it?

Saku was still high in the air, and looked down upon the crater he had made in the ground from the result of smashing Xene's, or Hidan's body. Saku then began diving down, thrusting his hand forward embalmed in a white light. Xene was stirring and looked up at Saku coming down towards him "dam...dam here he...comes. Come on, move you stupid body move"


 Saku continued diving towards him while Xene struggled to make Hidan's body respond. Then just as Saku was about to strike him, Xene moved and jumped backwards "ah...missed me!" Saku however brought his legs down, shot a beam of energy to cushion the fall, before then jumping after Xene pressing both hands on his chest "huh...wha?"

"Xene..." said Saku "get out!" Saku shot a wide blast of energy at Xene which appeared to go straight through him.

Xene looked to be not in pain but squirming. Xene almost appeared to be try and remain in place, as if fighting but before long Xene was blasted backwards and landed on the ground. As Xene got up "wha...what!?" Saku had his hands on the body of Hidan "you...forced me out"  Saku landed and put Hidan's lifeless body down

"Sorry about this Hidan" said Saku "there's better ways to die than this" to Saku's surprise Hidan's body suddenly turned into blue lights disappearing into the air "so...he was never technically alive in the first place"

Saku, now panting, looked at Xene who remained covered by his long cowl "I wonder how long it took you to make Hidan"

"At least several years you git!" said Xene getting up "do you have any idea how hard it is to create a stable aura-warrior?"

"Yes...Yes I do" Xene then charged forward

"You've ruined everything!!!" Xene jumped at Saku with a fist going forwards, however Saku simply swayed, to dodge, then struck with a high knee to Xene's chin. Not before grabbing his cowl which came off in his hand.


Xene landed looked quite aggravated "you little...I'll make you pay...huh..." Xene quickly stopped, almost in shock, as he looked upon the cowl in Saku's hand "Wha...no...no!" everyone in the room...was left speechless. No longer hidden by his cowl, Xene's appearance was now known to them all...even Xene's hair had changed.

Lexi looked, strangely, almost scared "guys, I'm officially freaking out here. How can...this be?"

"I...I don't know" said Aries looking quite shaken herself "he looks like him but, older...much older"

"You are in the correct line of thinking. He doesn't have any older brothers" said Cora looking a bit shaken "so this can't be possible"


Logan looked upon the face of Xene "I've seen some freaky stuff in my time, but this takes the flaming biscuit" Logan then thought back to what he said to Saku

"look I'll believe you nearly kicked it, heck I'll even believe you beat Jay. However there's no way Xene is from the future! I mean next you'll tell me Sora is your daughter..." as Logan came back to turned to Laura, Anaeus and Ayoko, then to Saku

They do look a lot like him...nahhhh No way. Or...can it be true? I mean it would explain this, and why Xene looks like that"


Saku stepped to Xene who looked to be trying to hide his face "you little...how dare you show my face"

"Sorry Xene" said Saku with no sympathy "It's time they saw who you really are" Saku turned to the group "everyone this man, is the reason behind every event that has gone off at this academy. No doubt you are all...ahem wondering who this is"

"We can guess who that is!" said Lexi "but I thought Jay Coven was an only child" Jay then spoke

 "I am...an only child. I have no brothers, sisters...or even cousins for that matter"

Jay stepped forward and  looked upon Xene "this man came before me as my deceased Father, but I see now looking at him that is impossible. So Saku tell me, why does he bear my face?"  Saku turned to everybody

"Everyone, this man is the reason for all the events that have transpired" said Saku "he has caused many people to suffer, and much pain. You're all probably wondering...why he bears Jay's face"
