"Oi,oi. You've got some confidence there. Getting lovey dovey in enemy territory?" A voice suddenly said behind them.

"!! That voice!" Joe turned around immediately and his guess was correct.

"What's with that face? Don't recognize me already?" A man dressed in a ninja like suit with twin blades on his back said with a smirk and his hands folded.

"You're-" Joe let go of Cecilia's hand. Cecilia tried to grab it again but Joe shrugged it off.

"Joe? This isn't like you? What's wrong?" Fear grew on Joe's face. He was trembling and tears were filling his eyes.

"JOE!! ANSWER ME!" Joe then started to cry.

"J-J-ohn......B-B-Brother.... W-Where have you heen all this time? I've heen seardhing for yu all tis tie....." Joe cried and mispronounced some words.

"Brother? Joe, you have a brother?! How come I don't know about that?" Cecilia was slightly angry at Joe but she knew now was not the time to worry about that. She sensed an intimidating aura coming from John.

"Oh come on, Joe. Don't be like that. I've finally found you after all this time. Look, I have even gotten strong enough to protect you and the family now." John then drew his swords and jumped towards them.

"JOE! He's coming at us! Dodge it!" Cecilia tried to move Joe but she couldn't. "Tsk. Hiya!!" Cecilia drew Viper Stinger and blocked the attack.

"What power...... He's strong...." Cecilia jumped back after parrying the attack.

"Oi, Joe. I've went home and what a mess it was. What happened to you protecting the family while I'm gone? You useless punk. The look of misery on their faces as I killed them. Aw! Ahahahahahaha! You should've seen it!" John laughed.

"!! Y-You were the one who killed our family?! H-How could you? They've always been searching for you! WHY DID YOU KILL THEM?!" Joe shouted angrily, shocked at the fact that his brother was the one responsible for the murder of his family when he went home a year ago.

"Why you ask? Because they were burdens to me! I have become so strong and they're so weak! How could I have such weak people on my side?! That's why I killed them." John replied with a smirk.

"Y-You bastard..... I won't forgive you...." Joe then stood up, wiping his tears away. "Cecilia. Please go on ahead. K will protect you until you reached the Majesty's room. Leave him to me. Please. Cecilia." Joe begged Cecilia. At first, she was reluctant to leave him but after a while, she decided to trust Joe and she left the brothers to settle their dispute.

"John..... I won't forgive you. I will defeat you and avenge my family!" Joe drew his OP blades.

"Bring it on, Joe. I wish to see if you have grown stronger since that last time I saw you."

"I have one question before we begin. Where did you go that night you disappeared?"

"I guess I owe you this reasoning. As you can see, I'm standing in front of you right now, aren't I? Surely, you're smart enough to know what I'm implying right?" John drew his DA blades.

"You..... I get it now. You've really let me down, John." Joe drew his OP blades, tears streaming down his cheeks. "I, Joe Himelion, WILL KILL YOU WITH MY VERY HANDS!!" Joe cried out loudly.

"Heh. I expect nothing less from my little brother. BRING IT ON!!!" John laughed and the bothers charged at each other.

Meanwhile, further ahead of the second level of the palace, Cecilia was on her way to the Majesty's room and soon spotted K running up ahead.

"K! Wait up!" Cecilia shouted through the distance.

"Hmm? Cecilia? You caught up? Where's Joe?" K asked.

"H-He.... met his brother....." Cecilia then teared up.

"........ I see. Don't cry now. I'm sure Joe wouldn't want to see you cry now. Suck in those tears and cry only after we defeat the Majesty." K consoled Cecilia.

"T-Thank you.... I'm fine now, le-"
"!! Look out!!" K grabbed Cecilia bridal style and jumped backwards.

Ice shards filled the space they were just standing at. The temperature of the surroundings soon dropped and the palace slowly turned into ice as the person who attacked them approached closer.

"This feeling.... I see... It's you." K put Cecilia down and stood up.

"Hmph. I didn't think I'd meet you again, K." The person spoke.

"No. I should be the one saying that. How have you been, rival?" K asked back.

"That voice! Cybril Big Brother!!" Cecilia immediately got up and tried to talk to Cybril. "Why, Cybril Big Brother? Why are you with O.M.G? You know everything about the Majesty? Answer me!!" Cecilia bombarded Cybril with questions.

"Shut up, Cecilia. Even if I said I did, what would you do? No. What can you do? You're so weak and pathetic. I always have to stand up for you. But today, it all ends. You won't bother me again. Ha!" Cybril sent ice spikes at super speed at Cecilia but were destroyed instantly.

"Oi,oi. Aren't you forgetting me? I didn't say you could ignore me like that, Cybril. Let Cecilia go, I'm your opponent." K glared at Cybril with his Ritesoji in hand.

"You're not my target, K. Get out of my way." Cybril put out a hand from his pocket.

"I already said. I'm your opponent. Let her go." K ordered, raising his voice. "Cecilia, you go on ahead. We're counting on you to defeat the Majesty." K whispered to Cecilia.

"B-But!"

"No buts! He's not someone you can beat at your level. You should know how strong he is. I'll take him on. You go ahead." K reiterated sternly. Cecilia wanted to retort but she refrained from it and she went ahead.

"You're not going anywh-*Whack*" Cybril was going to attack Cecilia but K smacked him away before he could attack.

"For the last time. I'm your opponent." K said fiercely.

"Tsk. Irritating. You've always been like this. Since young. Very well. We shall have a showdown on who's stronger. After all these years, I wonder how strong you've become." Cybril tightened his ice gloves.

"Now you're talking. I wouldn't have it any other way." K swung his hammer around while cracking his muscles. They then charged at each other.

Meanwhile, in the Majesty's room. "Hahahahaha! So it has started? The fateful reunion of the brothers and rivals. Interesting. Hurry up, Cecilia. I'm sure you're eager to meet me. Muhahahahahaha."

Hi, all! Sorry for the long wait. I've been busy packing my stuff from my cupboard. Too many things in my cupboard already.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed both the new cover and this chapter as well:)

This ost, I believe, is best. Firstly, it fits when the brothers meet. Next, it also fits the part where the rivals meet. After a sad reunion comes an epic encounter and what ost other than this can fit it? Vote if you think so:)
