Chapter 248 - Stoping the D of D (1/2)

”Silvio?” whispered Aisha in shock.

Shinobi didn't answer her despite standing up in front of her. Rachel was ready to jump onto Silvio and toss him around when Ethan's had clasped onto her shoulder.

”It's over,” said Ethan, pointing to Shinobi.

Aisha managed to drag herself to a position where she could see Shinobi's face only to see the white of his eyes and a blank look. Shinobi was unconscious yet standing to protect Aisha despite all the damages. She couldn't hold back the horrified gasp, and yet at the same time, felt something for him.

”It's over,” stated Ethan looking at Aisha, ”If you want to continue then be prepared to forfeit your lives.” Aisha shook her head, ”We forfeit”

”And the winner is the Gemini Team! As expected of the team Diego Carlo himself endorsed!” shouted the announcer as the audience clap. Rachel stood in the limelight, drinking up all the attention while the capoeria team was carried.

”Wasn't this exciting folks!?” cheered the announcer, ”Next up, we have the Busujima Dojo vs. the pankration team!”

The Pankration team was strong but against the Busujima dojo, it didn't look that strong. But it wasn't like the two were going to fight.

Before the team even stepped into the ring a loud explosion shook the colosseum. This was soon followed by airplanes flying over the island, deploying troops as they flew by. Nobody had noticed that most of the Ryozanpaku masters had left during the fight of the Gemini Team, all except Shigure and Shizuha. Rukia was also there but she wasn't part of the RYozanpaku thought she knew about the plan as well and stayed there to protect Bobbi and Saeko.

The raid to capture the underground criminals and Fortuna by the Allied forces had begun.

As the crowds began to flee, Kenichi looked towards YOMI, pondering what would be there next move. Would Sho be dumb enough to still challenge him? That seemed unlikely as he had been told to not participate in the tournament. Would Ethan will be the one to challenge him. Kenichi knew that he couldn't be the one to fight with them anymore at least until they become strong enough and enter the Master Class. YOMi also stared off at Kenichi until the colosseum grew silent. Most of the audience members had fled, leaving only Diego Carlo, Fortuna, Shigure, Shizuha, Rukia, Bobbi, The Shinpaku Alliance members, and YOMI.

Carlo Diego took a look around to make sure there was no audience left before making a decision.

”LEt's retreat Castor!” declared Diego, surprising his disciple as well as everyone in YOMI.

”What are you talking about!?” asked Fortuna, ”What about the match?”

Diego made a tsking noise while wagging his finger, ”We don't fight if there's no audience!”

Rachel quickly looked around to confirm his words before slowly standing up once more. She knew she would have to confess to her Mastero later, but she was scared to fight Kenichi and also a little interested in him. As he was the only man she knew that could take so much limelight without making any effort for it. She turned around to leave when she noticed her brother wasn't following her.

”What are you doing?” hissed Rachel, ”Let's go.”

”No,” said Ethan calmly as he began to walk towards the arena seeing which Kenichi also started to walk to the arena thought he wasn't thinking of fighting Ethan.
