Ronin walked through the hallway where he sees Mikala and Dib entering her office. He knocks on the door, catching the two off-guard.

"Ah, Ronin, what are you doing here?" Mikala asked, "Want to join in the conversation?"

"Sure, why not?" Ronin asked as he takes a seat next to Dib.

"Alright, so Dib," Mikala said as he looks at him, "What do you want to talk about?"

"...Actually, I want to ask Ronin two things... about the Kasai war..."

Ronin looks at Dib with a surprised expression and asks, "And those two are..."

"... I... I don't have any memories of the war," Dib told him, "And Valarie asked about some guy named Dragos... who's that and... how did the Emperor die?"

"... Well... I will start with Dragos," Ronin replied as he takes a deep breath, "I'm sure you heard of an incident where SEG soldiers were suddenly massacred by a man who is known as the 'Psychotic Dragon'?"

"Wait, it was that Dragos guy?!" Dib asked in shock, "But... but we weren't notified of the culprit, though."

"That's because they're planning on using him for the Kasai war," Ronin told him, "but the higher-ups don't want others to know that, so they keep it classified from their employees and the public."

"... But... okay, but how do you know that?" Dib asked him.

"... Because I saw him..." Ronin told him. "It was May 15th 2056..."

(Flashback)
(A/N - Just pretend the people are speaking Japanese as it takes place in Japan and because I'm too lazy to translate every quote into Japanese. K? Good. Now move on!)

Ronin, where he doesn't have his eyepatch, no scars and have both of his eyes intact, ran through the ruined buildings with an older man, around his fifties where his hair is short and black with some grey hairs, dark brown eyes and wearing a white cloak stained with blood as well as wielding a katana that looked like Ronin's current katana.

"Ronin, anything?" The man asked him.

"No, Tomi-sensei," Ronin replied.

"... Any SEG soldiers?" Tomi asked him.

"No." Ronin replied.

"Good," Tomi replied, "We should try to salvage any foods we can find here as well as finding any civilians there."

"Yes, sir!" Ronin replied as he was going down to the cliff by sliding through.

Tomi watched Ronin looked through the building and turned to a group of men as well as women wearing black uniforms.

"Alright, men," Tomi said, "Start scattering around the building, now!"

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers obeyed as they followed behind Ronin.

"Father..." A young woman said.

Tomi looked behind him, seeing his daughter, who is a young woman with a greatsword, long, red hair, dark brown eyes and pale skin. She wore a purple zip-up tank top, white mini-skirt with pink lines, and black boots while wielding a great sword.

"Yes, Chiya?" Tomi asked.

"I... I want to accompany Ronin-san." Chiya asked him.

"No." Tomi told her.

"Why not?!" Chiya asked.

"Because it's too dangerous!" Tomi told her, "Even if you're not next in throne, you're still my daughter!"

Chiya frowned and sighs, "Fine..."

"Good," Tomi said, "Now, excuse me, I have to look after your little brother."

Chiya took a deep breath and quickly ran off, much to Tomi's shock as he quickly turns around.

"Chiya-chan! Come back here!" Tomi shouted as he chased after her.

(Meanwhile)

Ronin sneaked into the ruined hotel, where the hallway's walls were cracked and dark as the bulbs are either broken or flickering a lot. Ronin took a deep breath as he continued walking until he started hearing weird squishing noises.

("What's that?") Ronin thought as he started tip-toeing, trying to get closer to the source.

Someone suddenly tapped his shoulder, which he quickly turned around, which he saw Chiya behind him.

"Princess Chiya-sama!" Ronin whispered, "You shouldn't be here. This could get dangerous."

"I'm gonna help you, whether you like it or not," Chiya replied stubbornly.

"... Stubborn as always, Princess Chiya-sama," Ronin said, "Fine, just be quiet."

"Yep!" Chiya whispered as she followed Ronin to the noise, which were getting louder and louder.

Robin stopped Chiya as he looked from the corner, which his eyes widen in pure horror and his face turns a strange mix of blue and green as he witnessed a very gory scene.

There were multiple corpses, where all of their stomachs were torn opened and their organs out of their body. Their corpses were nothing, but puddles of gore and blood.

Only one was standing on top of those corpses, who was a very tall and extremely muscular man who looked like he was on steroids. He had long, messy, dark teal hair covered with blood, dreadfully pale skin with violet veins visible, ripped dark brown trousers, scars on his back and barefooted.

The man was devouring a corpse, making Ronin sick to the stomach and Chiya confused.

"What's wrong?" Chiya whispered as she looked at the scene and gasped, "What... the... hell...?!"

"Chiya!"

"F-Father!" Chiya shouted, which grabbed the monster's attention.

"Malady! Dodge!" Ronin shouted as he pushed Chiya out of the crushed wall caused by the man.

The man towered over the trio, which the three took out their swords while he looked at them  with dead, red eyes as he licked his lips and grinned sinisterly to showed his bloody teeth.

"Well... well... more meat to eat~"  The man smirked while Ronin shielded Chiya and Tomi.

"You two! Get out!" Ronin shouted at them.
"Come on, Chiya-chan!" Tomi shouted as she shook her head.

"No!" Chiya shouted as she took out her greatsword, "Die you monster! You don't belong here!"

The man grinned as Chiya charged at him and slashed him, but he grabbed it by the hand with such ease and lazily snapped it in half, much to the princess' surprise.

"Wha-What the?!" Chiya replied as he kicked her in the stomach; sending her flying to a wall, "AHHHH!"

"Chiya-chan!" Tomi shouted as he took out his katana and started creating wind-slashes at him, which the man blocked with arms. "Ronin-Kun! Get her to safety!"

"But, milord!"

"Do it! Now!" Tomi told him off, "That's an order!"

Ronin looked at Chiya, who was lying on the ground and coughed up some blood as well as a broken leg and arm. Ronin nodded at his master and rushed to picked up Chiya and ran away to safety.

(Flashback ends)

"And that's how I met Dragos," Ronin explained, "I didn't know who he was until after the war and meeting EKO that I finally knew who's been eating our people."

"Yikes... he's a cannibal now?!" Dib shouted, "That is so fucked up!"

"Yes, it is," Ronin said as he gets up, "I should get back home and look after my people."

"Wait! What happened to the princess?!" Dib asked.

"... I don't know..." Ronin replied, "After Tomi's death, I tried looking for her everywhere, but... I couldn't find her, heck, I don't even know if she's dead or alive..."

"... And your eye...?" Dib asked.

"... You fucking stabbed my eye with a wood!" Ronin growled while glaring at him, "Which, I don't care if you was possessed, I'm still pissed off about that!"

"I'm sorry!" Dib apologised.

"It was the most painful experience I ever have in my entire life!" Ronin shouted, "Do you have any idea how much blood I lost after that eye lost incident?! No! You don't!"

"I'm sorry!" Dib apologised again.

Mikala starts laughing loudly, much to Dib's confusion and Ronin's dismay.

"What's so funny?" Ronin asked.

"S-Sorry!" Mikala replied, "It just reminds me of that banter I had with one asshole where I shot his eye. Expect, I never apologised, I just shoot him in the head."

"Wow..." Ronin rolled his eye.

"Ahem... how did Tomi escaped from him?" Dib asked.

"Oh! I managed to get back to the shelter safely and came back with soldiers," Ronin explained, "The emperor managed to survive just barely and we managed to get Dragos to ran away."

"Wait, if he has the dragon blood, then shouldn't he be able to take down your army with ease?" Dib asked.

"That's a good question," Ronin replied, "That's what I asked myself when I learn more about Dragos. Why would a powerful man like him run away instead of slaughtering?"

"Yeah..." Dib replied.

"Any more?" Ronin asked.

"... How... how did I kill Tomi...?" Dib asked, which startles Ronin And he looks away, "S-Sorry if it's sensitive topic! I-"

"... You ripped his heart out..." Ronin told him, which shocked him.

"... S... Seriously?!" Dib asked.

"... Yes... and turn into nothing but a mashed potato," Ronin said, "... I have to go back to my duties. Goodbye."

Ronin leaves Dib and Mikala, which the ex-major looks at his hand in horror.

"... Look, Dib," Mikala said, "I have slaughtered dozen of people before, as I worked as a mercenary. Heck, I have to kill my own parents after the zombie outbreak in Hawaii."

"... A... zombie outbreak?" Dib asked.

"Yeah, but it's covered up by the government and, because I was a child at the time, nobody believed me except for my teacher," Mikala told him.

"Why?" Dib asked, "Why did they covered up?!"

"Because it was my parents' fault," Mikala said, "They was scientists working for the government, thus making the outbreak their fault technically."

"Ah... I guess that makes sense," Dib replied. "Still... sorry for your loss."

"Don't worry," Mikala replied, "That was many years ago. Besides, while they're not the worst, they're not the best either. We're rather distant and empty, so while its a little painful at first. The deaths start to wear off a bit later on."

"I see..." Dib looked away, "..."

"Still grieving about your old man?"

"... Even if we're never been a closed family," Dib said, "I... I just wish I can go back and stopped all of this from happening... then maybe... just maybe, everybody's lives would have been okay..."

"... Listen, Dib," Mikala said, "If that didn't happen, then Ate would find someone else to do it for her. Trust me on that, nobody is gonna pass off the chance of becoming famous and become a part of history. That's how a lot of humans works and Ate took full advantage of that said human nature."

"... Good point..." Dib replied.

"Besides, all we can do is stop her, got it?" Mikala told him, "There's no point dwelling in the past. Sure, it's hurts at first, but as time moves on, the pain starts to become numb, depending on how painful it is. It's either move on or let it consume you for the rest of your life. Got that?"

"... Got it..." Dib replied.

Mikala stands up and pats Dib on the back.

"Good," Mikala smirked, "Now, you might want to catch up with some of the others, don't you?"

"You're right," Dib replied as he walks to the exit, "Thanks... I... I'm sorry for being so blind and stupid..."

"It's okay," Mikala forgave him, "You should be saying that to Zim, not me. Besides, it's better late than never to correct a mistake, right?"

"... Yeah..." Dib replied as he walks out.
