Saisho No Kasai

Jonathan's chest moves up and down frantically, his heart racing in despair, his mouth slightly open. Julian slowly collapses to his knees, his pupils dilating, his hands trembling as they reach his face. Joana shivers and covers her mouth, then turns away, her breathing irregular, unable to believe the scene that has just happened.

Jonathan: it can't be... You... Miserable!!!

Joana: calm down! She threw you away so we can escape, so let's take advantage and not waste time!

Joana stands up and holds Julian, helping him to get up and get out of the trance, Jonathan gets up alone, reluctantly, but tries to compose himself, he holds the two children in his arms and starts to run away.

Leonard is 40 years old, 1.80 tall.

Leonard: What the hell is going on here?!

Jonathan: Leonard? Quick explanation, my family is being hunted and the hunter is unconscious over there!

Jonathan points to the mountain where Jack was thrown, Leonard looks at the damage and how the inn he was staying in is completely destroyed, which in turn, was the same one the family was staying in before.

Leonard: Oh my, do you want help?

Jonathan: I accept, but please, if things get bad for you, run away...

Leonard: I'm not stupid, now go

Leonard pulls out two katanas, from each sheath, one on each side of his waist, the katanas have a futuristic look, striped in white and red, the very thin red lines in neon he begins to stretch, extending and flexing his knees and elbows, ready for combat. A thunderous noise is heard and Jack advances towards Leonard in fury.

Jack: Get out of the way, scum...

Leonard: Offend me... Is that what you can do?

The fighters' double blades clash, the two swing their swords skillfully against each other, the clash of their blades generating sparks, besides, they don't just stand still, they move all over the battlefield. Jack spins, with his blades extended, now like a cutting hurricane, Leonard raises his blades to defend himself, then he raises his hand towards Jack, launching a missile that comes out of the center of his hand, piercing Jack's chest, but he doesn't stop, pierces Leonard's shoulder, leaving his sword stuck in that place while he starts punching his face repeatedly, then grabs his head and presses it against the ground, clearing the path with his face. Jack steps on Leonard's face, pressing him against the ground with force. Jack: Was that all?... I honestly expected more from you - He says in a breathless whisper

Leonard: Not at all...

Leonard puts his hands on the ground and starts to get up, against Jack's pressure, then, he pushes his leg back with his hand and manages to get up and advance into a physical fight against him, he sends a kick with his right leg against Jack's rib, the same holds his leg and pulls Leonard close, punches his face three times, before the man defends with his forearm and holds his fist, then he releases his leg from Jack's arm, jumps back and recovers his blades, they cut some stones around and lets them fall against him, Leonard takes advantage of the distraction of the stones and brings the palms of his hands closer, but without touching, between his hands, a spherical red glow forms, then a shrill noise forms and turns into a deafening noise, like a lightning bolt that goes towards Jack, destroying everything as it hits him, a cloud of dust forms, but Jack leaves of the same, already recovering from the damage

Jack: come on, come on, come on!

Jack reaches Leonard, but before he has time to stop him, Jack executes a knee to the center of Leonard's abdomen, then delivers a sharp elbow to his chin, then grabs him by the hair and throws him away.

Jack: My turn... Maximumgehennae

Like last time, Jack's Vitalis focuses densely on him, then repels him in a wave of powerful fire. Leonard had recovered before the attack reached him, and he quickly created a shield with his back and lets himself be thrown to receive less of the impact of the blow, he takes advantage of the distance created and uses his strength to escape

Leonard: I was instructed to flee if the situation got bad, so... Time to retreat

Leonard coughs, moving slowly at first, but soon manages to run away, Jack notices the escape and decides to let him go, then, he closes his eyes when he notices that Jonathan managed to escape and must be considerably far away at this point, but even so, he decides follow the path you saw them follow. However, he cannot find them and a long time passes until he finds any clues.

1 day after the beginning of the fight between Leonard and Jack...

Jonathan had arrived at the kingdom that was his initial destination, the kingdom of Advisor, There he meets an old friend, Olivia. The two meet in a coffee shop, Julian and Joana were next to Jonathan.

Olivia is 35 years old, 1.70 tall.

Jonathan: Do you have any Cruise to offer us? {tom apprehensive}

Olivia: You come in and ask for this like it's nothing? {calm tone}

Jonathan: I know it may be sudden, but as I explained to you before, my family and I are being hunted and I have the money to pay.

Olivia: I was joking with you.

Jonathan: Olivia! This is not the time. of jokes

Olivia: I know, I know, I have several, in a few hours you can go to the Cruises area and choose the one you want, in this case, it would be exactly the... Let me see... From here 6 hours ago

Jonathan: Thank you very much Olivia, this is actually a preventative measure, but I have a plan and unlike the previous request, this is something that actually seems much harder to say

Olivia: Come on... You can say fearless

A few minutes later...

Olivia: I can't accept this, are you really that hopeless?

Jonathan: No... But I have to be careful, Jenny... She... {clenches her fists and bangs on the table, in a lamenting tone}

Olivia: I understand that your situation is not the best, but What you have in mind could end up being much worse for the boy

Jonathan: I just don't want him to die, that's the only thing that can't happen

Olivia: If things end up really bad then I'll follow your plan

Olivia stands up and says goodbye to Jonathan, he also gets up shortly after and takes a deep breath, his look of regret becomes one of determination, he takes the children and goes outside the kingdom, where Jack was already almost close, soon, he arrives and comes across the three

Jack: What is this, giving yourself up? If that's it, give up, I won't kill you if you don't resist

Jonathan: No way, it's a hunt, try to keep up with us...

Jonathan and the children fly, but before that, Jonathan uses Lux quae excaecat, the strong light diffuses and blinds for a while, Jack, the same after that moment, advances towards them, the children go in another direction and Jonathan then advances against him. The two fly towards each other, the golden trail meeting the red trail, Jonathan unsheathes his blade, Jack does the same and aims the tip of his blade at Jonathan, without him expecting it, the blade opens in half, revealing a mini cannon, which fires at Jonathan, without him being able to deviate the trajectory or defend himself due to the already great speed he had reached, he receives the massive damage completely, being thrown back and then falling towards the ground, Jack bursts the air towards him, hitting two fists in his abdomen and intensifying Jonathan's impact against the ground, creating a crater with the collision, after that, Jack grabs him by the hair and throws him against the trees, which collapse immediately, the two activate their elemental marks. Jack: Come on...

Jack and Jonathan go at each other quickly, Jack moves his blade sideways against Jonathan's head, he ducks, Jack moves his blade back and then down, towards Jonathan, who dodges back and then takes a step forward and moves his sword against Jack's leg, hitting him and making him fall, then Jonathan punches Jack's right cheek, throwing him to the side and falling completely, Jonathan jumps on top of him, both feet pressing in a big impact against his belly, then he starts punching Jack's face quickly, until he releases a small blast, strong enough to push him off of him, but Jonathan manages to land perfectly, jumping once more on Jack, grabbing his head and throwing him against the trees, while he doesn't fall, Jonathan creates two luminous golden spears, sending them towards Jack, both hit him perfectly, but he soon removes the spears from his chest as if it were nothing, he jumps towards Jonathan and puts one hand on the ground, supports himself with it and He kicks his lower body with both legs, making him fall. Jack takes advantage and punches Jonathan in the center of the face, this time delivering a critical blow that completely disorients him. Soon after, Jack steps on the ground, making Jonathan be lifted into the air, then he kicks his abdomen right in the middle, throwing him away.

Jack: Is that it? Did it really end like that?
