Narrator- Elite Soldiers- 1 External
Ginto- 2 Externals & 1 Internal
(Mizumi's Room, Dragon Hospital, 4:30 p.m, Day 9) (One day to go for the 4th External Dragon Part)

Mizumi(lying unconscious after her surgery)- .......

Hinaka(while standing on the doorway)- It truly was a remarkable effort. My respect for you as a fellow elite solider has surely increased. 

(Raiden's Room)

Raiden(while resting on the bed)- How stupid of a person I am...?? How could I ever trust a man like ginto!! How could I really!! If.... if... I had only been stronger then I could have protected livon on my own. I am a disgrace to the word 'friend'!!

Narrator- Due to his broken spinal cord, fibula, ulna and radius, Raiden had spent the last two days in the hospital resting. But now he got so frustrated with himself that finally he decided to have a change of scenery. With all his might he stood up from his bed, sat on the wheelchair and then slowly dragged himself towards the window.

Raiden(while looking at the hospital garden)- This garden is the only place here which is not fill with sadness. The fresh air, green grass, budding trees, patients trying there hard to get better and huh?? Is that him?? (with a surprised face)

Narrator- Raiden quickly hurried and went to the garden to meet that someone.

Tegan(while swinging his sword in the air)- 75....!! 76....!! 77..

Raiden(to tegan)- Sir tegan....... what are you doing here??

Tegan(to raiden)- Exactly what it looks like!! I am practicing!!

Raiden(to tegan)- Yeah but why here??

Tegan(while swinging his sword)- I was getting a little lethargic, so decided to come here and have some fresh air.

Patient 1(to tegan)- Ohh.... tegan!! Such a delight to see you are here again!!

Patient 2 - Yeah, it is always fun when tegan is around!! He is like a tube light to this place!!

Patient 3- The violin you brought me the other day is working absolutely fine!! It really helps me a lot to pass some time while I am in rehabilitation. 

Tegan(while scratching his head in happiness)- Glad to know that!! If you guys ever need anything then do let me know!!

Raiden(while watching tegan)- ........

Tegan(to raiden)- Its a wonderful place, don't you think?? It shows us the importance of little things which we usually ignore in our daily life's.

Raiden(with a depressed face)- I see......

Tegan(to raiden)- Huh?? What's the matter with you?? Why are you so down??

Raiden(to tegan)- Tell me why do want to become strong?? Is there something or someone that you after??

Tegan(while swinging his sword)- Huh... yeah. I want to defeat chrollo, the leader of dushyanta. Its my dream.

Raiden(to tegan)- You do know that he is strong. Despite that you still want to go after him??

Tegan(while swinging his sword)- That's the challenge!! The higher the mountain, the more exciting it will be to climb it!! I will even train my entire life if that's how much time it will take to defeat him!!

Raiden(with a depressed face)- I want to protect livon...... and keep him happy. That's one of my life's goals.

Tegan- Huh?? But why do wanna do that?? Can't he protect himself?? He is strong, after all.

Raiden(to tegan)- Does a parent ever stop worrying about there child even after they grow up?? Is there ever a reason to protect your family member??

Tegan- No, there isn't. I understand your situation now. Sorry for asking that question, I just wanted to test you out. So.... you weren't able to defeat ginto and now you have regret about that. All I can say is that you should keep on moving forward. Regret isn't gonna take anyone much far.

Raiden(with an angry face)- But its easier said than done!! No one can just forget there regrets and focus on the present like nothing ever happened in the past!! That is just not possible!! 

Tegan(with a smirk smile)- You know, I was the youngest person to unlock Stage 4- Linneation. I once sat at the very top of the world, proudly, before Hiyuki came and took that place away from me. Now imagine what I would have felt back in the tournament when I saw him doing that?? The answer is, it was infuriating!! But regardless, I only took it as a hurdle, one that shouldn't be paid attention in my far bigger goal. I neved stopped, I kept on training harder like I always did.

Raiden(with a depressed face)- ........

Tegan(while keeping a hand on raiden's shoulder)- Don't ever forget, your sir tegan will always be there for you.

(An old man enters the scene)

Old man(with a tired voice)- Tegan!! Tegan!! My grandson... my grandson has gone missing!!

Tegan(with a surprised face)- What?? Your grandson!! But how??

Old man(to tegan)- He and I little had a little argument and then he ran over somewhere. I have checked the entire hospital but I still couldn't find him!!

Tegan(to old man)- How old is your grandson??

Old man(to tegan)- He is 10 years old!!

Tegan- Then he must have gone somewhere near!! How does he looks like exactly??

Old man(to tegan)- He has brown hair and is wearing white t-shirt and black shorts.

Tegan(to old man)- Okay!! I will go and look for him now!!

Raiden(to tegan)- Wait sir!! I will also come with you!! I know I can't walk but still, the more, the merrier!! Especially in this situation!! 

Tegan(to raiden)- Yeah!! You are right!!

Old man(to tegan)- Please tegan, find him quickly!! My grandson is suffering from asthma, if he doesn't take his inhaler in next one hour, then he will... he will....(starts crying)

Tegan(while holding old man's hand)- Your grandson will be playing with you very soon!! I promise you that!!

Raiden(to old man)- Uncle, do you know any place your grandson might have gone??

Old man(while thinking)- ........

Raiden(to old man)- Any place he goes when he is angry or something??

Old man(to raiden)- Aah, yeah!! He really likes the candies I bring for him from the nearby store!! So might have gone there.

Tegan(to raiden)- Lets go to this candies store then!!

Raiden(to old man)- Before that, the most important question, what is his name?? 

Old man- Its 'Quin'.

(At the Candy Store)

Tegan(to shop owner)- Did a brown haired boy wearing white t-shirt and black short come to your shop in last hour or so??

Shop Owner(while thinking)- Not that any I remember.

Tegan(with a disappointed face)- Sheesh!!

Shop Owner- But I wasn't present in the shop for 15 minutes in between, so you can ask my staff member may be she would know something.

Staff Member(to tegan)- There was indeed a boy with the same description you gave, but that boy never really entered the shop. He was just standing outside and staring at the candies. I assumed that he didn't had money, which is why he couldn't enter.

Raiden(to staff member)- Do you know where did that boy went then??

Staff Member- Umm... I think he started talking to a cobbler from across the street.

(At the Cobber's Stall)

Raiden(to cobbler)- Heyy uncle, did you talk to a brown haired boy, wearing white t-shirt and black shorts??

Cobbler(while repairing a shoe)- Why do you ask??

Raiden(to cobbler)- Its an emergency!! Please tell us!!

Cobbler(while repairing a shoe)- I can't  just leak someone's private information to total strangers!! It may not look like it but I also have some code of honours!!

Raiden(with a dejected look)- The life of that boy is in grave danger. If we don't find him soon enough then he will die. So you gotta answer this once!!

Cobbler- That boy was one of the weirdest kids I have ever talked to. He asked where he could buy a hand sanitizer. When I answered him, I don't know, he just started repeating his question over and over again. Due to this, I got angry and ordered the boy to go away, but when he was leaving, he murmured something like 'all adults are the same everywhere.'

Tegan- 'All adults are the same everywhere.' He was probably referring his grandfather here.

Raiden(to tegan)- But still its great that he is only trying to buy a hand sanitizer and not something dangerous.

Tegan(to cobbler)- Any idea where he went then??

Cobbler(to tegan)- Don't know, he just started walking down the road, probably in the search of that hand sanitizer.

Tegan(to cobbler)- Okay, thanks for all your help uncle!! We won't be disturbing you anymore now.

Cobbler(while repairing a shoe)- All that boy needs is some counseling. Do try him a good one. 

Tegan(with a smile)- Sure.

(While walking down the street)

Tegan(while checking his watch)- Only 25 minutes left!!

Raiden(to tegan)- At least we know where he is headed. Its going to be a household items shop.

Tegan(while looking at a boy walking down the street)- Ohh!! Brown hair, white t-shirt, black shorts!! Its him!! I found him!!

Narrator- Tegan then runs towards the boy, grabbed his hands tightly and forcefully opened his mouth.

Tegan(while putting inhaler in his mouth)- Come on!! Inhale quickly!! Inhale!!

Mother(while snatching the boy away)- What are you doing to my child!! You kidnapper!!

Boy(while crying)- Mama!! Mama!! Mama, my hands are aching!!

Tegan(while scratching his head)- So you aren't quin??

Mother(with an angry voice)- Quin?? Who's quin??

Tegan(with an awkward face)- Hahaha hahaha!! It was a mistake. Sorry about that.

Mother(while holding his son's hand)- Hmph!! Kidnapper!!

Raiden(while staring at tegan)- .......

Tegan(to raiden)- Why are you wasting time raiden?? Don't we have to hurry??

(After 10 minutes)

Raiden(while looking at a shop)- Here, this is only household items shop in this area. He had to have come here to buy the hand sanitizer!! 

(At the Household Items Shop)

Tegan(to manager)- Did a brown haired boy wearing white t-shirt and black shorts come here to a hand sanitizer recently??

Manager(with a frightened look)- Noo wayy!! You.... are.... talking.... about..... that... boy!! Then he was serious about it!! I really should have stopped him!!

Raiden(to manger)- What?? Stopped him?? But what happened??

Manager(with a frightened look)- That..... boy.... is.... about... to.... do.... something..... dangerous!! He must.... be stopped..... at.... any cost!! 

Raiden(to manager)- First of all, calm your breathing, relax. And then explain everything!!  

Manager(after calming himself) - Usually children at his age always come up with there parents to buy something. But I was surprised to see him here alone. That boy had a certain face, certain blank face. After he was done buying the sanitizer, I asked him why did he came alone to buy it. He answered, 'all adults are the same everywhere'. I got surprised by his answer, so I asked him why was he buying it. He told me he is buying it so he could drink it afterwards!!

Raiden(with a shocked face)- Drink....??

Manager- Yeah. I thought he was joking, so I asked where he lived. I told him I was going to complain to his parents about this. After hearing that, he just ran away. I tried to catch him but he got away. 

Raiden(with a tense face)- Where, where was he heading??

Manager- The street behind our shop.

Tegan(to raiden)- Lets go!!

(At the Backyard Street)

Tegan(to raiden)- He planned it all along. He never planned to just use it, he was planning to drink it from the start!! We underestimated his mental condition. 

Raiden(to tegan)- Only 7 minutes left till he gets an attack!!

Tegan(with a tense face)- Things are not looking good. We are destroyed from both the ends now!!

Raiden(to tegan)- But if quin really wants to die then why is he going such lengths to find and drink a sanitizer?? He could have just waited for the time to pass for an attack to come by eventually. It would have been much easier for him.

Tegan(with a tense face)- People can be weird sometimes. But he isn't even a people right now, he is just a 7 year old kid who got lost in the path of life. We have to do everything in power to save him!! QUIN!! QUIN!! QUIN (starts shouting for him)  

Raiden(while shouting)- You are right. QUIN!! QUIN!! QUIN!! QUIN!! COME OUT QUIN!!

(At a certain park)

Ginto(to quin)- So you don't have any parents??

Quin(to ginto)- Na, na, never had one. Grandfather is the only one I ever had.

Ginto(to quin)- Same here. I also never had any parents. But in my case, I had a grandmother.

Quin(to ginto)- Did she loved you??

Ginto(to quin)- Very much. I was like her whole world. Regardless of this, we still fought many times. Doesn't the saying goes, where there is love, there is fight. It was very much applicable to us. But running away from the fight was never in consideration.

Quin(with a dejected look)- Hmm..... I see.

Ginto(while handing over the D&D book)- My grandmother always used to read me this book. It was my favourite. Everything about life, be it past, present or future, its all inside it. Do have a look at it. I am sure all your problems will be solved then.

Quin(with a delighted face)- Thank you so much!! Talking to you here today has been truly life saving!! If it weren't for you, I would have done something horrendous today. 

Gino(while picking up his luggage)- Everyone has there own path, everyone has a destiny. (then proceeds to leave)

(Outside the park)

Tegan(while shouting)- QUIN!! QUIN!!

Raiden(with a desperate face)- Only a minute left!! Is it really all over??

Tegan(while shouting)- QUIN!! QUIN!! PLEASE COME OUT QUIN!! DON'T JUST THROW AWAY YOUR LIFE LIKE THIS!! LIFE'S ARE PRECIOUS!!

(Quin enters the scene)

Quin(with a surprised face)- Were you calling me just now??

Tegan(with a emotional face)- Its you....!!

Raiden(to tegan)- Quickly sir, give him the inhaler!! Only 15 seconds are left!!

Tegan(to quin)- Aah, yess!! Come on, open up your mouth now quin!! 

Quin(with a smile)- There is no need for that. I have already taken this earlier.

Tegan(with a surprised face)- Earlier?? But weren't planning you to kill yourself after you had a fight with your grandfather??

Raiden(to quin)- You had also purchased that hand sanitizer for this very purpose. 

Quin(with a smile)- I had. Ending my life was my orginal plan. Until I met a certain someone who changed my life for good.

Raiden(to quin)- 'Changed'!! Do you mean you understand what you were going do was wrong??

Quin(with a smile)- Yes. All of it.

Tegan(to quin)- You said you changed because you met a certain someone. Who exactly was this someone??

Quin(to tegan)- I don't know, he never told me his name.

Raiden(to quin)- Where did you met him then??

Quin- I was sitting at my bench, about to drink the sanitizer when he arrived out of nowhere and sat beside me. I don't know his name but I remember he had a tattoo of a dragon in his right arm.   

Tegan and Raiden(with stunned faces)- 'Tattoo of a Dragon'?? Ginto!! He was here!! Where did he go then??

Quin- Don't know. He just left with his luggage. I think he was travelling somewhere. 

Tegan(with a disappointed face)- Damn it!!

Narrator- Tegan and Raiden then hurriedly went to the park to check for Ginto.

Raiden(while looking around)- He is not around!! He already left!!

Tegan(while looking around)- To think he was this close. Nevertheless, saving quin was our top priority today. Ginto can come later.

Quin(while standing on the park's entry gate)- Heyy, you guys!! Is my grandfather at the hospital or somewhere else??

Raiden(to quin)- Noo, he is at the hospital waiting for you!!

Quin- Okay thanks!! I will be leaving now. I want to apologize to my grandfather as soon as possible!! (then starts running back)

Raiden- I am glad to see him like this. I am sure he has found his path of life now. (sees something falling from the sky at quin) No, what is that!! Move aside, quin!! Quickly!!

Narrator- Some construction was been going on in one of the buildings, which quin was passing by, when suddenly a huge concrete slab fell at him. 

Construction Worker(while shouting)- Watch out boy!!

Quin(while looking at the concrete slab falling on him)- Guess.... I was meant to die today after all. I just wish.... I could have lived a little more longer with the new life I found today.

Raiden(with a desperate face)- Damn it, I can't use my gravity power due to my current condition!!

Tegan(with a smile)- Keep on smiling kid. It really suits you. THE HOLY SWORD OF LIGHTNING!!

Narrator- Tegan creates a giant sword of lightning which went as long as the sky. Then used it destroy the concrete slab easily.

Quin(with a shocked face)- What......?? I got saved!! Really?? Thank you so much sir!! That was an awesome attack!!

Tegan(with a joyful face)- Do give your grandfather my regards!!

Raiden(with an emotional face)- Sir tegan your truly one of a kind. I am honored to be your fan. (in his mind)

(After few hours, At an Alley, 9:30 p.m)

Noren(to itsumi)- You heard, tegan and raiden together helped to find a lost boy today??

Itsumi(to noren)- Well that is surprising. Usually tegan solves these kinds of cases alone.

Noren(to itsumi)- I bet raiden tagged alongside him. I can clearly imagine how happy he must have been at that time.

Itsumi(while looking at the nearby shops)- Tell me what would you like, eating dinner from outside or eating my own homemade food??

Narraror- An Unknown Man was hiding behind a pole listening to there conversation.

Noren(to itsumi)- How about a mixture of both?? Food made from outside but to be eaten at home?? That will be a comfortable way to eat the dinner.

Itsumi(to noren)- Okay, in that case I will go purchase some burgers first. You wanna come with me??

Noren(to itsumi)- Nah, you go. I will be waiting for you outside. Just come back quickly, big sis!!

Itsumi(while entering the shop)- I will be back no time!!

(The Unknown Man then enters the scene)

Ginto(to noren)- So it will be you, who I have to eliminate.

Noren(with a surprised face)- ......

Ginto(to noren)- If I am correct, then the mission you guys are in, is a joint mission. There are 4 brats from Aquatic Country, 4 from Dragon Country and you have probably got yourself 1 teacher too. The total will be 9. Out of which, I have already eliminated 3. So eliminating more is important before I face bunch of you together at tomorrow's 4th External part day. BONE ROPES!! 

Narrator- Ginto takes out his spinal cord and swung it as a rope towards Noren.

Noren(while dodging the bone rope)- Bones shakti element!! That mean he is ginto, the member of dushyanta who is after the dragon parts!! But why is he attacking right now??

Ginto(to noren)- No hard feelings buddy but you are only gonna get hurt tonight because of your big sister!! If she would have led me to someone else than you would have been safe. But guess what now you are not gonna be. So blame the stars not me, afterwards.

Noren(in his mind)- He was tailing my sister, just so he could eliminate someone!! And he is talking as if he has defeated me!! How much overconfident can he really be!! MERCURY SHIELD!!

Narrator- Noren creates a mercury shield and used it block the bone rope. Ginto upon seeing this retreated back his ropes.

Ginto(to noren)- Very good!! SPIKY BONE SWORD!!

Noren(with a surprised face)- Aah...??

Narrator- Ginto converted his bone rope into a spiky bone sword and then ran towards Noren to attack him head on.

Noren wasn't ready for Ginto's head on attack. So with little effort, Ginto broke his mercury shield and then slashed him at this chest, which flew him 3 meters away.

Noren(while standing up)- MERCURY SHOTS!!

Narrator- Noren brought forward his right palm, pointed it towards Ginto and then started firing small yet very fast mercury shots at him.  

Ginto(to noren)- BONE ARMOR!!

Narrator- Ginto protected himself with his bone armor. The moment any mercury shots tried penetrating it, the newer bones just grew back and saved him.

Noren(to ginto)- SILVER DISC!!

Narrator- Noren creates a mercury disc of 60 centimetres throws it at Ginto.

Ginto just simply bends down and avoided the disc easily.

Ginto(to noren)- Missed it.

Noren(to ginto)- No, I didn't!!

Ginto(while turning back)- .....

Narrator- Noren knew that Ginto would dodge the disc, so he threw it in a such a manner that it could bounce off the tree and then head straight for his neck.

Ginto(to noren)- DISLOCATE!!

Narrator- The disc cuts off Ginto's bone armour neck but luckily for him, he had already moved outside by cracking the armour from his skull and then moving out therefore.

Noren(with a shocked face)- He survived this too!!

Ginto(to noren)- Surprisingly, you are weak compared to others. Even if I hadn't taken you out, I don't think it would have made much difference. BONE COATING!!

Narrator- These lines completely crushed Noren from inside. All his training, all his hardwork, was now down to ruins. He had lost his will to fight. Before the battle, he already knew that taking Ginto down alone would be an impossible task but he never expected to hear this kinds of words from him, after all the effort he was putting in.

He accepted his defeat, then stayed still for Ginto to pierce his sharp bones at his chest.

With that plethora blood started pouring out, Ginto had already left the scene, when Itsumi arrived.

Itsumi(with a stunned face)- My....... brother..........!! What.... what..... happened here, tell me.....!! (slowly puts his head on her laps)

Noren(before losing consciousness)- Big....... sis........ why....... am...... I........ so....... weak??

Itsumi(while patting on his head)- Nooo........you are not!! Noo, you are not!! NORENNN!!
