Chapter 248: Stoping the D of D
"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.
Ethan, I foresee the chance of you winning is... less than 2%" frowned Tirawit, "I advise you not to engage now. Retreat and fight another day. We can use the time to catch up to him."
"Will we be able to?" shot back Ethan, "He is far stronger than us all. In order to catch up, there must be a catalyst to make you all of YOMI stronger."
"Ethan, I order you as the leader of YOMI to stand down," said Sho, using his authority as the leader of YOMI.
"I respectfully must disobey that order" Ethan responded, "This is one fight that must be fought. If you are afraid he will kill me, fear not. He is part of Katsujinken, meaning he will not kill. And unlike some master like Silkwat Jenazard, my master will not throw me away just because of one loss. He is a kind master who will understand why I must do this."
"If someone has to fight Kenichi Shirahama then it has to be me" Boris stated as he walked towards the arena.
"Boris What are you doing!? Instead of stopping Ethan, you yourself want to fight him?" Sho almost shouted.
"I have to leader! Because I have already challenged Shirahama Kenichi on the first day we met with the proper YOMI method and if I don't challenge him now then when will I?" Boris stated.
"Do the two of you think that you ca disregard me like that I am your leader dammit?" Sho said as he started to walk toward the area as well to drag back the two if he has to.
"Ah! Sho-sama please wait!" called out Hayami and Seto at once as they followed Sho.
"LEt's watch it from close Riri," said Ryuto.
"Hi, Ryuto-sama," Riri said as she started to push Ryuto in his wheelchair towards the arena.
"There is no logical reason for al of you behaving like this!"
