SoH: Sky of Heirs (Chapter 2 - Brothers, not by Blood, but Deeper)

Reign swiftly took care of the mysterious figures that were targeting him, however the school was left in shambles after their arrival. The house of Chaser, bearing an ancient lineage to the Aura has the connections to quickly reconstruct any destroyed scenes without a trace. Utilizing the aura, any bystanders who witnessed the chaotic events can be put into an amnesiac state to prevent knowledge of the events from spreading. Naturally, all events that occurred during Reign's battle were wiped from the mind of every student and teacher at the school. 


~Later that night at the dinner table~

"You know, they were quite a lot weaker than you made them out to be". "Reign, you need to understand that just because you were able to easily dispose of them today, that doesn't mean it will always be easy for you to take them on". "Dad I've trained with the aura for so many years now... pretty sure I can take em". The face on Reign's father beamed with concern. Reign looked up at his father's face and felt insulted at his father's mistrust in his own strength. "I'm tired after all that's happened today. I'm going to my room".

"Go get some rest, son". "Will do, Dad". "Goodnight Reign". "Night Mum".

It was a vision-filled night for Reign as he confronted his inner demons that tormented him about the lives that he took in the previous day. He twisted and turned constantly throughout the night as the surroundings of his room began to cave in due to his aura power going ballistic. Suddenly, an old man appeared within his dream.

"Reign. Listen to me. You have to calm down... The lives you took today weren't alive to begin with. There is more to this than meets the eye". "Who are you? Why are you in my dream..? Who's behind the attack!?". "You must figure it out.. before its too late.." The old man began to shift itself far away into the distance as Reign ran after him.

"WAIT!!愛が愛を「重過ぎる」って理解を拒み ,憎しみに 変わっていく前に… Reign's mobile started ringing as his eyes widened and took him out of his dream before he could find the answer to the old man's words. He picked up the phone and dropped back into bed with the mobile placed in between his pillow and his ear. "Hey Reign, let's go to gym man". "What the hell Ash it's so early, I just woke up". "What are you talking about its one in the afternoon already". "Oh crap it is..? Well didn't you say you had something to do with Emily today?". "I do but there should be enough time for me to go to the gym and spend some time with Emily today, well, probably anyway". "Whatever you say man. You probably shouldn't take her for granted too much like your previous girls". "Haha, will do". Reign quickly took a shower, changed into his gym gear and headed down to his bus stop.

As he paced to the bus stop he looked up to see that Crystal was sitting there, also waiting for the bus. Reign, seeing her there slowly crept up to the bus stop as he began brainstorming things to talk about. Before Reign could make the first move, Crystal turned around suddenly as her eyes dilated. "Reign? You look fine. What happened yesterday!?". "What do you mean? Yesterday was just a normal day of school wasn't it?" "No, you were attacked and you had some strange purple blade and everything....." "What are you talking about? A purple blade? You must've been daydreaming". "No, it was definitely real. I saw it with my own eyes". "Come on, enough about what happened yesterday. Or what didn't happen or umm.. nevermind. Well! Where are you planning on catching the bus to?" "Me? Oh, I'm just heading down to the shops to go buy some groceries for dinner tonight since I have to cook for myself". "Oh, why's that?" "Cause my parents don't come home till late..?" "Right, well that's my bus. See ya at school on Monday". "Bye".

Reign finally arrived at the stop where his Gym was and rushed towards it to see Ash sitting at a bench just outside the entrance. "Late as usual Reign.." "Hey I'm only twenty minutes late. And besides I ran into a bit of a problem". "What problem?" "You know that new transfer student? She remembers everything that happened yesterday even after the Aura's decree of erase". "What, how is that possible? The decree's never failed to erase memories before. Unless she's an Aura user, but that shouldn't be possible since I've never heard of her name before in the 7 master families". "Yeah, I've got no idea what's going on either but hey, she's hot". "And again Reign, you're moving too fast. You barely even know this girl but you already sound like your whipped with one sentence from your mouth". "I'm not moving too fast. I'm sure Crystal is the right girl for me and besides, today was obviously a fated meeting". "Fated meeting what? All that happened was you randomly saw her, that's all. Anyway will figure out more about this stuff later. Let's go work out". Reign and Ashtyn headed into the gym and started engaging in various workouts for the next hour and a half.

A sudden familiar tune started to play in the background alerting Reign to an incoming threat. "This is the same tune as yesterday, right before the school was attacked". Ashtyn and Reign ran out of the gym as a dark orb suspended in the air, formed near the shops. Mysterious figures started appearing out of the orb one by one until Reign and Ashtyn were surrounded. "You guys just don't learn do you?" "I've been waiting for a time like this. It's time for me to have some fun as well". As Reign and Ashtyn strided outwards towards the mysterious figures their gym clothes shaped themselves into armour for battle. Ashtyn became surrounded in a reddish tone and suddenly in a pulse of red, scarlet studded gloves were enamoured onto his hands. "Alright let's do this!". Reign leaped into the air as Ashtyn suddenly hammered into the ground with a violent red fist. The ground openly chiseled around the mysterious figures as Reign came down with a circular slash to take down any of the ones still standing. Ashtyn then began to dance around the area, disappearing and appearing behind every mysterious figure in succession. He threw a straight at each of them with his gauntlet gaining strength with each strike as his anger surged. "They're too strong together. Call in the special and fall back for now".

The mysterious figures retreated into the shadows as the sky began to loom a dark grey over the horizon. A bolt of lightning struck the ground as a ghostly appearance clad in light and dark armour spawned from its wake. It slowly turned around at Reign and Ashtyn. "Finally..."
