While Kazuki was asleep, he was having a dream, one that was about his childhood before he became a Soldier/Assassin "Right from when I was a child, I've always been fighting hard. Trying my best too do what I can. I trained when no one else was looking." Kazuki's dream was like a flashback, Kazuki(8 years old), was just sitting in the playground of the orphanage. While other kids were playing with each other and testing out their abilities and skills, Kazuki was just sitting while looking at the clear sky "It really is sunny today huh. Not just that, but the sky is bright. I like it." As Kazuki stood up, a soccer ball came flying at his direction. Kazuki intercepted the soccer ball and immediately dodged it by tilting his head, he looked at the ball "Hm? A soccer ball?" and then looked at where it shot from. Three kids who were bigger than him walked towards him with snug looks on their faces "Hey, Kazuki you fucking dog.", one of the kids threw a punch at him, but Kazuki effortlessly dodged it "I'm not in the mood for any of your stupid games, Coal." Coal(9 years old. A buff brown haired kid) stood infront of Kazuki with two other kids "Huh? Are you dumb? Why the hell are you standing infront of me like you're some kind of tough guy?", the other kid beside Coal made a mocking remark "He probably thinks he's all that. With that height of his, he still thinks he's hot shit." The three kids started to laugh, along side the other kids in the playground. Kazuki didn't seem bothered, he shrugged it off and just walked past Coal "I don't have time for this." Coal seeing how Kazuki just brushed him off got annoyed and grabbed him from back collar "Hey, where do you think you're going?", he asked with a terrifying tone in his voice, he suddenly had a wild smirk on his face "Before you go, pick my ball up." Kazuki just looked at Coal with an unbothered look, he was silent for a few seconds. Coal repeatedly again, but with a more serious tone "Are you deaf? I said go over there and pick up my ball." Kazuki brushed Coals arm off his back collar and started to walk over to the direction the ball had landed. Coal had a smug grin on his face "Hm, what a push over. Not just that, but he's small too.", the other kid standing beside Coal asked in a mocking tone "He's 7 years old but yet he's just four-foot five? What a fucking shorty. Later today, let's go bully him again." As Kazuki walked towards the ball, he raised up his leg, a small spark of purple energy glowed on his leg that he had raised up. Coal looked annoyed and intrigued for a moment, Kazuki proceeded to stomp on the ball that his bully had forced him to go get for him, ultimately popping the ball. This made Coal, his two friends beside him and the rest of the other kids around the playground to be shocked. Kazuki looked at them with his purple glowing eyes showing murderous intent, faint purple energy started gleaming all over his body "Oops. Looks like I popped the ball, I wonder what you will play with now." Coal got annoyed immediately and formed a rod of energy on his hand "I'm going to break your skull for this you twerp!", the rest of Coals friends also activated their abilities and were ready to beat up Kazuki, they all rushed towards him at the speed of wind. Kazuki on the other hand wasn't really fazed at all, everything to him looked like slow motion "As usual, always trying to pick fights with people you presume weaker than you. I wonder where that kind of attitude would get kids like us too when we get to the age of going on missions.", Kazuki muttered to himself. Coal and the rest of his gang ran towards Kazuki, energy capable of overthrowing a building surging around them, Kazuki watched calmly as they charged at him, his energy level suddenly grew wilder as they were about to attack him. Few moments later, the playground was almost as good as ruined, some small craters were on the ground, the swings were destroyed and the kids around watched in fear and terror. Kazuki was untop, he had dominated his bullies, Coal with devastating injuries and scratches, looked at Kazuki who stood above him with murder in his eyes. Coal was angry and annoyed at the same time "But how? I'm bigger than this twerp! I should be stronger than him as well. So how come he easily overpowered me like this?" The house masters and mistresses came running down to the playground "What happened here?". They were all in shock to see what the playground had become. The ground was scorched, the playing materials were all destroyed and burned like as if a small wild fire had spread out, Kazuki was above Coal and his two gang of bullies. Kazuki turned around to the masters and mistresses of the orphanage with a very dangerous look in his purple eyes. Few moments later, all the kids were laughing at Kazuki as he was being lashed on his hands. Kazuki didn't feel the pain, he was almost as good as numb "Typical. It's always like this.", he flashbacked to a few moments ago too when all the kids were pointing fingers at him and blaming him "He's the one who started the fight", "I saw him when he popped the ball.", "Yes it was him." Kazuki while being flugged till his arms were bleeding thought to himself "It's always been like this. I've always been bullied by other kids. They've always taken advantage of me because I'm small. Each time I fight back, I'm always the one in trouble. And if i decided to ignore, im left broken". Kazuki started to have faint memories of Shinki(12 years old) leaving him behind "Ever since he left..... it's always been so hard. Even when he was around, I've been bullied by other kids and had to fight for myself... This isn't fair" Later at night, Kazuki was sitting in what seemed to be like a small solitary confinement room. His arms were bandaged, the full moon shined on him, Kazuki was curled up in a corner "I.... I want to leave. I dont like this place" Suddenly, the metal gates of the room opened up, bigger kids walked in, one of them which led the other kids cracked his fingers "So you're the one who hurt my brother and his friends,huh? I'll make sure I beat you well.". The other kids around, all had smirks on their faces, they rushed towards Kazuki and started beating him up "Get stumped you fucking dog!", the kids started to stomp on him and beat him up. About an hour later, Kazuki was all on his own, beaten and bruised. He rubbed the blood on his face with the back of his arm and looked at it, Kazuki felt nothing but numbness, yet he was still angry and sad at the same time "Why... why do I always have to get treated so unfairly? Why me?!?!" Kazuki started to cry silently "Why does it always have to be me?!". About an hour later, Shinki had entered Kazuki's cell and hugged him with tears overflowing all over his face, Kazuki on the other hand was fast asleep. Shinki cried silently "I'm sorry Kazuki. Forgive me. I left you in this SHITHOLE all by yourself. Im very sorry!" Meanwhile, untop of a building, right infront of the moon light, a male figure watched all this, it was Diablo(21 years old.) His red eyes were the only thing that glowed that night as he looked down with sadness as Shinki cried while holding his beaten up younger brother. The dream started to fade away "Yeah, that's right..." Kazuki muttered to himself as all the memories of him being bullied started to get overshadow by the memories he made with his new friends that he had made after he had become an assassin/Soldier "I ended up making friends along the way. New people who had my back.. Alex, Serena, Kinto, Deo, Son, Mori, Baraka.....", Kazuki's vision went dark "Yeah. My story changed since then." Suddenly, a memory of him fighting a dragon like being cracked all over the darkness of his ended dream, it was like as if reality was glitching while the fight he had with Raiga played at the end of his dream. Kazuki suddenly woke up, it was day time already 7:30AM, the streets were quiet and the sun was shining beautifully "Huh? What the...", Kazuki sat up straight "A dream?" He looked at his right side of the bed and saw Serena sound asleep. She started to slowly wake up, she only had only a bra and her underwear on "Uh? Kazuki....?", Serena muttered as she broke a soft smile "Good morning."
