Kinishi is all bloody and beaten up.
Blood drops down to his face.
Kinishi spots a soldier sneaking up on him.
He gets ready to slash but suddenly stops mid slash and gets blown away onto the other side of the grassy plain.
Kinishi immediately senses Taiyo's drop in his ki.
He destroys the remaining 700,000 soldiers in seconds.
He rushes forward, towards Taiyo's direction with haste.
Taiyo opens his eyes.
Taiyo is shocked to discover that his eyes are still functional.
"Oh, I'm still alive."
Taiyo looks down to find hands under him.
"What type of stupid position am I in, haha" Taiyo says while laughing but then he suddenly stops.
"I can't feel my body...am I paralyzed?"
Suddenly, Taiyo's vision spins slowly and finally his vision stabilizes to see his own decapitated body.
Taiyo's eyes opens wide in shock.
"What in the heck is going on?? Why can I see my entire body.." Taiyo says as begins to hyperventilate, only to find out he can't breathe.
Taiyo gargles and chokes.
Taiyo spits out blood.
"No..."
Taiyo's eyes start to close slowly.
"I can't die.."
Taiyo's eyes are halfway closed.
"I've got..... a promise to ....keep...."
Taiyo's eyes close.
For a while, it's silent.
Then, Taiyo feels a familiar type of warmth.
He has felt this type of warmth before...
"Kinishi? Is that you?"
"Yeah..I'm right here, so don't you worry, I won't let you die."
"But I feel cold.."
"It's okay, you'll feel warmer soon, just start using your Inverted Technique to heal as well."
"It won't work.."
"It will.."
"I can't feel anything anymore, man."
"Don't you talk like that, it makes it seem like your going to die."
"I might.."
"NO! you can't! you just gotta power through this situation like you did before when we first met Yuki! like how you always do!"
"I don't think I can this time..."
"Come on Taiyo stop talking like that... It makes it seem like you WILL die."
"I've lost too much blood, I'm gonna die Kinishi. I'm sorry..."
"NOOO."
"My hearing is getting worse by the second.."
"TAIYO, DON'T GIVE IN TO DEATH."
"I couldn't hear that too well, my hearing is muffled.
"TAIYO COME ONNN!"
Taiyo's vision starts to fade into black.
"Is this the end? Is this where I die?" Taiyo says
"TAIYO! HEAL YOURSELF!!" Kinishi said as holds his shoulders and tears well up.
"I can't see you anymore.."
"DON'T DIE ON ME YOU IDIOT! WE WERE GOING TO BE THE STRONGEST TOGETHER!!" Kinishi says aggressively as tears stream down his face.
"Kinishi, promise me you'll stop Apollo from being consumed by the Apollo god. Apollo doesn't want this to happen, I saw it in his eyes...he even shed a tear."
"DO THAT YOURSELF!"
"KINISHI!! GET A GRIP AND PROMISE ME YOU WILL DO THAT!!" Taiyo yells hoarsely.
Kinishi sniffles and tries to hold back his tears but they just slip through.
"KINISHI!!!"
"I will.. I will." Kinishi replies.
Taiyo smiles as the light in his eyes fades away and he goes fully deaf.
*So.. this is how it feels to die? I feel like I am drowning" Taiyo thinks.
Taiyo hears the sounds of being underwater.
"Wait! I'm under water!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Taiyo yells as he gets out of the water.
Taiyo opens his eyes and sees the forest.
"I turn away for one sec and suddenly there's water. What is Kinishi doing?" Taiyo's says as he steps forward.
He suddenly bumps into something.
Taiyo falls back holding his head.
He looks up and there is a brown-skinned, red-haired girl with huge muscles, who holds her head and looks up as well.
"Yep, you are definitely him." The girl says.
"Who am I supposed to be again? and who are you!" Taiyo replies confused.
The girl springs up and points at Taiyo,
"We have been awaiting your arrival, Taiyo!" The girl says in an eager voice.
She smirks at the same time Taiyo stares at her in confusion.
"HUHH?!!!"
Taiyo ends up following the girl to a beautiful palace.
After a couple minutes of silence, Taiyo speaks.
"I'm not sure if I deserve to be here or not..." Taiyo says while fiddling his thumb.
"Oh, you definitely do, just shut up and wait until Mother explains." She says as she turns a corner.
"Mother? who's Mother?" Taiyo says as he stops walking.
She walks backwards from around the corner and calls him over.
"Alright, Alright, I'll be there." Taiyo says as he walks forward.
Taiyo turns the corner to see a tall, brown-skinned, four armed, muscular, red-haired, woman.
*She is at the very least like 20ft, no, 30ft tall.* Taiyo says as he shrinks back in shock.
"Mother, you're scaring him with that tall stature of yours, go to your human state." The girl says with a smile on her face.
"Ah, yes, I almost forgot, this is his first time having recollection of seeing me." The woman says as she shrinks down.
"Just..where am I and who are you people!!" Taiyo said.
"Taiyo, I am your Mother, Matgorzata, and next to you is Agata, your full-blooded twin-sister." Matgorzata says.
