Chapter 5: House of Evolution

Kaito and Genos walked through the metal hallway, the sound of their footsteps echoed in the quiet place.

(Kaito)"Wonder where that Genus is..."

(Genos)"I detect several life forms, almost all the same. Clones, most definitely."

The sound of loud, quick footsteps came towards the two, and they eventually saw a large, beetle man holding an injured man, most likely Genus.

(???)"Then we don't need the one on the left? Good!"

He slammed Genos into the wall, and appeared behind Kaito.

(Asura Rhino)"Hi, name's Asura Rhino. There's a special room for combat. Let's fight there, 'kay?"

(Kaito)"...Sure."

He followed him into a large, spacious room, and they stood a good distance away from eachother.

(Asura Rhino)"Spacious, isn't it? It's the biggest room in the facility. They let us fight here to test our abilities. Anyways...let's kill eachother."

An explosion was heard, and a damaged Genos entered the room.

(Asura Rhino)"Still alive, huh?"

Genos rushed at the Beetle, throwing a barrage of punches.

(Genos)"Machine Gun Blow!"

Rhino punched Genos in the face, popping out his left, robotic eye. He was caught by Kaito.

(Kaito)"Genos! Are you okay?"

(Genos)"I-I'll take care of him..."

He fired an energy blast at Asura Rhino, who simply blew it back at him. It didn't do any real damage, it just made Genos' hair into an afro.

(Genos)"I'm fine..."

(Kaito)"Alright then!"

He dropped Genos.

(Genos)"Ow."

He then approached Asura.

(Asura Rhino)"Hehehehe...you, you're real strong, aren't you?"

(Kaito)"They didn't make me a Class-A Hero for nothing."

(Asura Rhino)"Really? Then let's see what ya got!!!"

Despite his size, he was quick, able to get behind Kaito in a single second. But just before he landed a punch, for the first time in his entire life, he backed away in fear. When Genus came to, he saw this, and was surprised.

(Asura Rhino)"Wh-What was that!?! If I would've punched him, I'd get killed! There's only him, but I can feel another presence!"

(Asura Rhino)"YOU LITTLE BITCH!!! HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET SO MUCH POWER!?!"

(Kaito)"You want to know? Don't see the harm in telling. Genos? You listen too."

(Genos)"Is Teacher actually going to reveal his secret here and now?"

(Kaito)"Hundreds of years ago, in the hottest desert, a man wanted to aquire the powers of God. To do so, he crafted several, golden arrows from a mysterious meteorite. Some of these arrows that still existed were eventually found by my mother,and she hid them away in the attic of my old home. My brother found them when our parents mysteriously disappeared, and forced me to use one."

He realized that he was also making the mistake of telling a long story.

(Kaito)"And I gained what is known as a Stand, a manifestation of my fighting spirit! Although I received mine through an arrow, this can be granted naturally if you have the fighting spirit, and mental strength to control it."

(Genos)"So that's where his strength comes from? That's what he wants me to do, get a 'Stand'?"

(Asura Rhino)"Mental strength? So...you think I'm not smart enough to get a Stand thing, huh?! HUH?!?"

(Genus)"Oh no...he's going into Carnage Mode!"

His entire body took on a form more monstrous than the last.

(Asura Rhino)"Hehehe...once I'm in Carnage Mode, I lose my mind! I won't calm down for a week!"

(Kaito)"Oh my, I think he's pissed."

(Asura Rhino)"Once I kill you, I'll go into the nearest town, and kill everyone in there until next Saturday!"

He sent near light speed punches towards Kaito, who went into his pink form, and blocked each punch.

(Asura Rhino)"DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH!DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH!'

Kaito started to block with one hand to look at his watch, and he realized that the special sale was going to start in one hour.

(Kaito)"I got a sale to go to in one hour, so let's end this!"

He took a deep breath, and a purple aura outlined his body.

(Kaito)"My soul is resonating...with heat strong enough to burn! My heartbeats are razor sharp!"

(Kaito)"Starlight Platinum Overdrive!"

He sent an even faster barrage of punches at the mutant, and he melted into a purple-green puddle.

(Kaito)"Alright we're done. Let's go, Genos."

(Genus)"...Screw evolution. I'm the one who needs to change."
