Recovering from Rengoku.
Let's get going with this chapter. Sorry, it took me so long to update.
Most of the chapters I got from the sub.
•••
We continued with the next video. My face had stopped being red. I felt a bit better from before. I was feeling restless. I want to know if Cherry was alright.
Shadow was skating in the competition earlier. When a guy with a red cap passed him. I remember him, I have never seen him at S before. But he seems familiar somehow. "Oh, it's that guy who left you in the dust." Miya looked salty.
"How did your match go with him, Miya?" I asked. Miya shifted a bit. "That doesn't matter," Miya responded I tilted my head at him. It didn't matter? "He merely got past one of my 88 special attacks."
"You have that many special attacks?" Miya and I asked. "Just you wait next time I see him, I'll go for throttle from the start!" Shadow shouted at us. "He was an anonymous skater." "Yeah, he skated good, they managed to avoid Shadow's attacks" I admit that he was pretty cool.
"Identity unknown. And... it feels like his style of skating... it's similar to Adam's." Hmm, I nodded it did really. Both the tendency of dancing while skating.
Carla switched to a clip of Adam. Great, he was flying out of the helicopter. I scowled at the sight of him. The others seemed calm which confused me. Did you guys not just see him slap the f*ck out of Cherry with his skateboard?
"And we have our final boss!" Carla showed more clips of him. Adam with Langa and Reki. Him dancing on his skateboard. I just glanced away. "His core muscle strength and position are both World-class," Miya mentioned. "But I don't plan on losing," Shadow spoke up. I looked at him, is he for real?
"Huh?" "I will win! I will win, and prove that I've become a strong man" Shadow showed a face of determination. "I'm the one who's going to win!" Miya challenged looking up at him. "I'm going to be number one in the world someday! Becoming number one at S is just a stepping stone." Miya clenched his fist. I smiled worriedly. "Quite the words there! If you happen to go up against me. I'll make you pay for it" Damn. Miya and Shadow started laughing. I stared at them confused.
"Gasp! Cherry's coming back!" Really?! I turn around to look. "Turn it off quick!" "Carla is a her, Shadow!" "Oh, whatever!" "Carla stop the video!"

"It's not stopping! Is there a switch or something?"
"Let's see. Is it this thing here? Or is it this one over here?"
I stood up as soon as I heard Carla start ticking. I moved away from those two as I pretended to not notice them. "Hey... It's starting some kind of countdown." Miya was next to Carla panicking while Shadow was standing. "What should we do?"
"What would do if it blows up? We're going to cause problems to the other patients!" Shadow panicked. "It's a skateboard! No way that would happen!" I chuckled.
"But this is Cherry, so he might have some self-destruction mechanism built-in." Shadow wasn't that far off. "There's no- yeah, can't scratch that out!" The ticking got faster. As the two started wailing."It's not gonna stop!"
"Do you know what, in times like this...Carla, give us some relaxing music." I busted out laughing, giving me much "Carla- I mean Siri plays Despacito" vibes. "That's not gonna stop this at all!"
"Carla, power down," I commanded. Without a sound, Carla stopped ticking and Joe and Cherry walk(strolled) in.
Both Cherry and Joe looked at us in surprise. Miya and Shadow were still by Carla. And I was in the corner. "Ah Uh, glad your okay?" Miya answered? I rolled my eyes.
...

Once I saw Cherry and Joe I left. I didn't say anything and left. Once I got out of the hospital I took a deep shaky breath.
My eyes started to water. I placed my board under my armpit and walked home. I felt like the world finally backed up off my back. I know this feeling.
I hated feeling like this.

"Why are we getting off the island?" I asked as I followed Mr. Kusanagi. I grabbed Anna's hand as I guided her.
I felt like I was missing something. Both seem calm. What are they not telling me?
"We need to okay just follow me, you can find Yata when we get there." "Oh alright."
We made it under the bridge connected to the island. Anna and I stood with other HOMRA members. I look around for Yata. I hear him screaming angrily in the distance as I follow the sound.
Yata was being carried by Kamamoto, another HOMRA member. I resisted a giggle.
"Why are we off the island? Why are we abandoning our king-!" I gasp, Mr. Kusanagi hits him over the head.
"Stop being so rash, Man up. Anna and Owari are taking this better than you." Don't lump me in I don't know what's happening.
Does that mean that Mikoto was still on the island? But why? Why are we here? Is Misaki right, are we just here while our king is fighting?
"Hey... Yata did you also feel pain from your insignia?" I whisper to Yata as I step in front of him. "Well yeah obviously, it's from Mikoto."
"Oh okay. What does it mean? Is it bad? Does it mean he's hurt?" Yata looked at me like I was stupid, damn.
"Obviously not. He's fighting another king which isn't good when Mikoto's sword of Damocles is worsening. That's why I don't understand why we are all here instead of helping him!"
"His sword? Is that why he's been looking so tired?" I felt the pieces click.
"Hey Yata what happens if his sword breaks? Can it even break?"
"How don't you know this? I thought Kusanagi told you already told you? If Mikoto's or any king's sword falls from the sky that means they died."
..
I felt myself shake. Why didn't Mr. Kusanagi tell me? Is that what he was hiding, and that time I asked if Mikoto was okay, he just flat out lied to me...
Does Anna know? She probably does, why else is she so calm? My eyes started to water, I was scared. Why were we here if Mikoto was fighting on the island without any help. Especially if everyone knew about his sword. I could see it in the sky along with the Silver's and Blue's. I now realized that it looked beaten up. Some parts of it would fall off. Wait the Silver's king Sword was close to the other two. He must be near them.
Mikoto was hanging on by threads... wasn't he.
I felt a gush of air hit me in the face. I shivered at the cold before staring at a big growing explosion. It was getting bigger too. Its location, the island. I panicked. Was it Mikoto doing it?
(Picture to help with visual.)
I looked at Yata for- for anything! Anything at all.. please. Why was this happening now? Tears fell down my face as I tried to find an answer.
The explosion grew until it made another big burst of air before subsiding. It was gone. Tears fell down my face as I was still confused. Yata was beside me looking at me worriedly. He grabbed my shoulder rubbing it slightly. He was trying to comfort me the best he could.
I look at Anna who looked worried now. She looked at the sky. I looked up only to gasp.
Mikoto's Sword of Damocles abruptly started falling. It was falling to where I believe was Mikoto...
My insignia pulsed. I felt him... D-
.

.
.
"MIKOTO!" I heard Anna's heartbroken scream.
I started crying loudly as I ran into Misaki. Misaki stood there slowly placing a hand on my head.
I know it. It can't be true. IT CANT! IT CANT BE TRUE!
It was silent, some crying from Anna and other clansmen. We all knew it. Mikoto Souh had just died.
