Chapter 23: Tooth

A new day comes by as the sun rises again which Cassie starts to wake up to find herself in a bed

Cassie: Oh morning already- wait wasn't I on the couch before?

Last night:

Cassie tiredly wakes up a bit to find herself being carried by Tadayoshi

Cassie: Mmm?...

Tadayoshi: You're fine, go back to sleep

He enters his room and carefully sets her down on his bed and puts the blanket over her.

Tadayoshi: *sigh* Why do I feel like doing this is going to bite my ass

He gets up to leave but he felt someone grabbing his sleeve, and he turn to see Cassie holding on to him with a tired yet sad expression on her face

Cassie: Don't go... I don't want to feel alone...

Tadayoshi: Look you-

Cassie: Please...

Tadayoshi: ... Fine... but I'm leaving once you fall asleep

He sits beside the bed and Cassie kept holding onto his sleeves as time goes by a bit she slowly falls back to sleep

Tadayoshi: Hmm... Reminds me of the old days... the good ones...

Present time:

Cassie: Oh... I guess that did happen... wait what am I supposed to wear?

She gets off her bed and opens up Tadayoshi's closet to find the clothing that Vivian got for him which she takes and puts on

Cassie: It's a bit too large but it works...

She quietly makes her way downstairs to find Tadayoshi on the couch still asleep. She quickly peaks over behind the couch and she quietly pokes his cheek to see if he'll wake up

Tadayoshi: mmm...

Cassie: Still asleep? Then again I did make him stay up by accident...

She looks over at the kitchen which she stares at it for a few minutes before walking over and putting on an apron that was on a counter

Cassie: I can do this... I can do something for everything he's done!... Right?

A few minutes go by as Tadayoshi slowly wakes up to smell something burning

Tadayoshi: *groan* Now wha-

He sits up to see the stovetop bursting out into flames as Cassie runs around the kitchen in a panic. She quickly shuts off the stove and moves the pans that are on fire

Tadayoshi: What the fuck are you doing?

Cassie: Oh hey! Morning! I was just uhhhh... making breakfast!

Tadayoshi: Breakfast...

He looks around the kitchen where he finds a bunch of dirty pans and burnt food all over the counter as Cassie gives out a nervous chuckle

Cassie: Yeah... I wanted to thank you for letting me stay here and sleeping in your bed so... yeah...

Tadyoshi: Right...

He stands up and stretches for a second and walks over to the kitchen where Cassie hands him a small pan with a slightly burnt egg in it

Cassie: Here's yours!

Tadayoshi: ... an egg?

Cassie: Yeah I was gonna make more food but... yeah... that's the only thing I was able to make

Tadayoshi: ... Do you know how to cook?

Cassie: Yes...

Tadayoshi: ...

Cassie: ... No... Rachie always does the cooking and she never trusts me in the kitchen cause... I almost burnt down the apartment one time...

Tadayoshi: How?...

Cassie: I forgot to add water to a cup of ramen

Tadayoshi: ... You know if you were a wife, you'd be a terrible one

Cassie: Hey!

Tadayoshi: What? If you can insult me for possibly being a terrible boyfriend then it should be fine with me...

Cassie: I know that but... *looks away pouting* why were you able to think of that

Tadayoshi: *sigh*

He dumps the egg that was on the pan in his mouth which he eats within a second before walking over to the kitchen

Tadayoshi: Go sit down...

Cassie: I will

Tadayoshi: "There goes a waste of $300 worth of groceries..."

Cassie sits in the dining room as Tadayoshi cleans up the kitchen and dumps all the burnt food in the trash. After cleaning he begins making the food Cassie was trying to make which takes a few minutes until after finishing cooking, he brings over and sets them in front of her which are some sausages, bacon, pancakes, and eggs

Cassie: Oh wow...

Tadayoshi: Your welcome

He walks over to the coffee machine and starts to make himself some coffee as Cassie takes a piece of pancake and munches on it which the taste surprised her

Cassie: Wow... this is good... not like it's the best thing but it's good

Tadayoshi: Thanks...

Cassie: How did you know how to cook these and if it would be good or not since you can't taste them?

Tadayoshi: The internet... that's it

Cassie: Oh... but thanks... and sorry about the... failed attempts

Tadayoshi: You should be, you just wasted so much money...

Cassie: Ok you didn't have to be that harsh

Tadayoshi: I get grouchy in the morning...

He finishes making his coffee and takes a sip as they both do their business in awkwardness

Cassie: So today is the day...

Tadayoshi: Mhm... You think you are going to be alright...

Cassie: Yeah... I think I will... *munch*

Tadayoshi: ... You know what to do?

Cassie: I think so... Though... I have to ask

Tadayoshi: What

Cassie: If you... failed on protecting me... what will I do?...

Tadayoshi: If things get... complicated... Then I'll step in and no I won't kill the guy

Cassie: No I mean... he will kill you literally... and I'm afraid I don't what to do if that happens

Tadayoshi: ... Well I don't see how I'll get "killed" but if I do, then go get Rachel and find Alex... she'll be able to handle it... trust me she capable of it

Cassie: Ok... You know you put a lot of trust in her

Tadayoshi: I know...

Cassie: Why

Tadayoshi: ... She's my student

Cassie: Student? Didn't think you would be the teaching type

Tadayoshi: Figured

Cassie: Though I know how you don't "trust" anyone, why trust her?

Tadayoshi: ... Cause she'd be better

Cassie: Better of what?

Tadayoshi: ...

Cassie: Oh... sorry I guess you're not comfortable talking about it

Tadayoshi; It's fine... you don't know me

Cassie: I mean I know you enough that we can have normal conversations

Tadayoshi: I guess

Cassie: But you know once this is all settled we should go hang out again but not as a job! I had fun before even though you look stupid and awkward doing those arcade games

Tadayoshi: Can it woman!

Cassie: *giggle*

Tadayoshi: but maybe... I'll think about it

Cassie: I hope it's a yes!

Suddenly Cassie gets a buzz on her phone which she checks to see Tooth texting her

T: I need you to come early today! We got some great news and I better hear that you did break off with her

C: ... I'll be there

T: Good... see you soon...

Cassie: ... *puts phone away*

Tadayoshi: Your boss?

Cassie: Yeah... we got to go...

They quickly finish their breakfast up and throw the dishes into the sink and make their way to the doorway

Tadayoshi: You ready?

Cassie: *breathes in* Yeah... I'm ready...

Tadayoshi: Then let's get going...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tadayoshi and Cassie enter the building where the employees quickly back away from them as they were passing by

Employee: Oh Miss Cassie...

Employee 2: Why is she with someone, matter in fact why a Forgotten?

The secretary notices them and she quickly approaches them, stopping them from going anywhere

Secretary: Excuse me Cassie but you were told not to bring anyone

Cassie: I don't care...

Secretary: But if your manager finds out he could fire you

Cassie: Like I said... I... don't... care...

Secretary: If you don't comply I'll report to-

She goes to grab Cassie by the shoulder to stop her but suddenly Tadayoshi grabs onto her arm and begins to squeeze

Secretary: Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

Tadayoshi: Report to anyone and you'll literally be the word two-legged

Secretary: ... I-I won't... forget what I said! You two can go!

He squints at her and lets' go which she quickly runs back to her desk as they make their way into the elevator where they slowly reach the top floor

Tadayoshi: Are these employees like this

Cassie: *nods*

Tadayoshi: ...

Cassie: ... I'm surprised...

Tadayoshi: About what?

Cassie: You... manage to scare some people, people don't get scared by a Forgotten cause... you know...

Tadayoshi: Sure... So about Tooth... is he some owner of the building or something

Cassie: No he just... does his job really well that they promote him to where he is. The highest and "best" manager anyone could hire

Tadayoshi: I see

Soon the elevator arrives at the floor which they exit out and arrives at the entrance to Tooth's room

Cassie: This is it...

Tadayoshi: Mhm...

He reaches over to grab the doorknob but Cassie grabs his arm, stopping him

Tadayoshi: What?

Cassie: Uhhh can I... go in myself?

Tadayoshi: Why? I thought you needed my help...

Cassie: I do, it's just... I want to handle this myself and... if something does happen you can step in...

Tadayoshi: ... Are you sure?

Cassie: Yeah...

Tadayoshi: ... Fine... I'll wait here... just call me if you need me

Cassie: Ok...

Tadayoshi steps away from her and leans against the wall with his arms crossed as Cassie takes a deep breath and walks inside to see Tooth writing some paperwork

Cassie: Hello... Tooth

Tooth: It's boss to you...don't try to get all cranky because today is a great day!

Cassie: ...

Tooth: So! *claps his hands* I got some great news today! And if you do a great job this week, I'll- I mean you'll finally become a Royalty

Cassie: ... Tooth...

Tooth: Today you'll have to do some modeling for some magazines and then some interviews!

Cassie: Tooth...

Tooth: Then tomorrow, you are going to Vegas where they want to put you in a-

Cassie: Tooth!

Tooth: What? And don't you fucking shout at me! And again of the last time, it's boss-

Cassie: Not anymore...

Tooth: ... What?

Cassie: I've decided that I'm quitting this job!

Tooth stares at her for a bit as anger grows within him and he stomps over to her which Cassie look at him in determination but still in fear

Tooth: You have 15 seconds to take back what you said... I'm in good mood right now and I will not let that be ruined by your opinion...

Cassie: No! I am done! I'm tired of all this work! I'm tired of being forced and hit all because of something that you want! I am done! I don't want to be a Royalty anymore!

Tooth: ... *squeeze fist* Do you want a death wish you little bitch?

Cassie: Hit me and I'll call for help

Tooth: Oh please who are you gonna call? The police? The bodyguards? Are they gonna do something "bad" to me or are they gonna "hurt" me? (Sarcastic tone)

Cassie: Yes... yes he will

Tooth: Oh please! Remember! The police are around my finger because of my history and your bodyguard is pointless if they can't handle some of your stupid fans! Do you think this person is gonna do something? Please! You're pathetic... and you know you're nothing without my help...

Cassie: That's what I thought... then I realized I don't need help to be something... me being there for Rachel and my other friends is enough to help them! Being there will make them know I'm here when they are down! Even if I'm not a Royalty... a Champion... a famous hair color... but I know one thing... I am Cassie, a "nothing" being but this "nothing" being is a girl who is there to bring a smile to everyone's face! SO HOW CAN BE A NOTHING EVEN THOUGH I'M BEING SOMETHING TO MY FRIENDS!? YOU SHITTY CAT!

Tooth grind his teeth, squeeze his fist tighter to the point his nail pierce his hand and his hair begins to glow bring yellow with some red in it

Tooth: You... Fucking... little... BITCH!

He swing his fist as hard as he could but before it reach her, Cassie quickly takes a deep breath and yells as loud as she could

Cassie: TADAYOSHI!!!

Suddenly the door burst open and before Tooth's fist could touch Cassie, someone jump in front of her and stops his punch but feel the wind from the force of Tooth's fist

Tooth: Eh?

Tadayoshi: That's enough...

Cassie: *huff* *huff* that was too close

Tooth looks over as he sees Tadayoshi holding his fist onto his fist as he still struggles to push through the punch, which soon Tooth figures out who he is

Tooth: You...

Tadayoshi: Yeah, it's me... you damn cat...

Tooth: I thought I warned you not to interfere with my business!

Tadayoshi: Do I look like I care about your business and beside... I'm doing my job...

He grips onto Tooth's fist and pulls him foreword and Tadayoshi swings a punch into his face which sends him onto his desk breaking it in half

Tadayoshi: That's for the bruises you gave to my boss...

Cassie: ... Woah...

Tadayoshi: We're done... come on...

They turn to leave out of the room but before they could Tooth slowly get up and grab half of the broken desk and throws it a the wall beside the door which they quickly turn back to see Tooth standing up again in anger

Tooth: You... are not leaving here... you are my ticket to becoming a Royalty... and I'm not going restart all the work I did

Tadayoshi puts his arm out covering Cassie who slowly backs away

Tadayoshi: Get out of the building...

Cassie: But-

Tadayoshi: Now!

Cassie hesitates a bit until running out of the room which Tooth stands up and speaks to the microphone in his shirt

Tooth: Security... do not let Cassie leave this building!

Tadayoshi: Are you that desperate?...

Tooth: Of course I am... I worked too hard to get where I am... now move brat...

Tadayoshi: You're gonna have to make me, you damn cat...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This story is interrupted by a chibi Cassie putting a cup of ramen in the microwave which immediately explodes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cassie quickly runs down the hall and quickly tries to use the elevator but finds out the elevator has been shut down

Cassie: Shit!

Security: There she is!

She turns at the two security guards that are running toward her and she quickly starts running again but this time she takes the stairway. She ran down a few steps to find another two guards blocking the path

Security 1: Hold it! Tooth wants you back!

Cassie: Why are you helping that bastard? He's not even your boss!

Security 2: He has been paying us extra cash to keep an eye on you when you come into this building! And he pays us well!

Cassie: God dammit...

Security 3: Now if you just-

Suddenly the security guard gets smacked across the face and slammed against the wall. Cassie spins her war hammer around and hits another one into the wall. She quickly turns and hits the last two guards behind her which they fall down the stairway

Cassie: I'm so glad I brought my weapon... but I hope I don't get arrested for this...

Security: There she is!

Cassie: Shit! There's more!

She continues to run downstairs as more security guards begin to chase her down. Back at Tooth's room, Tadayoshi gets thrown across the room and hits against the wall but quickly escapes as Tooth punches through the wall

Tadayoshi: What kind of manager are you?

Tooth: A strong one! Brat!

Tooth swings his arm at him but Tadayoshi continues to dodge them until he ducks and rolls through between his legs and jumps up kicking him in the back of his head

Tadayoshi: "Guess she wasn't joking show how this cat is going to kill me"

Tooth swings his arms behind him and Tadayoshi dodges and manages to throw a few punches into him. Tooth then grabs Tadayoshi and slams his head through the wall until pulling him out and slamming him again but they both go through the wall into another room

Tadayoshi: Fucking Christ...

He manages to grab a chair that is near him and smacks him against Tooth's head, causing him to let go which Tadayoshi gets back up. They both run at each other and they swing their fist, punching each other's fists until they start repeating throwing punches, hitting their fist as they take turns punching at each other. Tooth goes for another swing but Tadayoshi dodges this time and quickly gets behind him, kicking him in the back of his leg.

Tooth: AHH!

He falls to his knees and Tadayoshi jumps up and grabs the back of his head and slams his head through the floor. He pulls his head out of the floor and looks at Tadayoshi in anger until he felt something crawling down his face. He touches it to find out it's his own blood

Tooth: Heh... you made me bleed, guess I should've expected it from a Champion

He charges at Tadayoshi and swings some punches at him but Tadayoshi continues to dodge them and lays a few punches when he finds some opening. Tadayoshi goes for another punch but Tooth grabs his arm and lifts him, slamming him around the ground until pinning him down.

Tooth: I'll give you credit, you are a good fighter, especially for a Forgotten but... you're just like every bodyguard Cassie had

Tadayoshi struggles to get out of his grip but couldn't which Tooth smirks and pulls his fist back

Tadayoshi: Dammit!

He continues to struggle to escape but he suddenly stops and reaches one of his arms out which Tooth looks in confusion

Tooth: What are you doing? There's nothing around for you to gra-

Suddenly Tooth begins to hear something outside the building and he looks at the window to see something coming. Before he could react, it smash through the glass window and stabs him in the shoulder, sending him flying into the wall and letting go of Tadayoshi

Tooth: The fuck was that... we're on the 10th floor...

He looks at his shoulder to see a spear stabbed into him, and he goes to pull it out but the spear flies out of him which he yells a bit in pain, and the spear flies back to Tadayoshi's hand.

Tadayoshi: Should've brought you from the beginning...

Tooth: An S-grade weapon? A Forgotten has one?... that's something you don't see every day...

Tadayoshi: I can say the same thing about you...

Tooth: Guess you're something different but that doesn't matter, I fought different people before so this won't be any different!

Tadayoshi: Fought different people... Who were you?... I know you use to work with someone back then. And it's obvious you're no normal manager who knows this much combat

Tooth: Who was I? Oh please, I feel like it should be obvious just by looking at me! I'm a former member of the brute tribe! Aka the bodyguard of my former boss!

Tadayoshi: ... Never heard of you

Tooth: What?!

Tadayoshi: You being a former bodyguard is something I didn't expect... but if you were part of the tribe group, why leave them and become some manager? And why so obsessed with getting Cassie to become a Royalty?

Tooth: Because I'm tired of being pushed around... especially but that damn King and his damn monster of a son...

Tadyoshi: ...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3 years ago:

King: Where are you? We have to get going! There's a quick deal we have to make!

?: Coming, sir!

A young Tooth quickly runs out of the doorway and catches his breath as King and a few other brute stares at him. Tooth has been with the Brute tribe for 1 year now and is still considered a newbie to the tribe.

Tooth: Sorry sir, I had to make sure everything is prepared to leave once we return

King: About time... now where is my son?

Tooth: He's-

A young Jorge quickly runs out of the doorway and runs toward some of the brutes but kept his distance from King

King: Now do you have the cases?

Tooth: Yes sir

King: Good, let's get going and make sure you keep an eye on them!

Brutes: Right away sir!

Tooth: Yes sir!

They both exit out of their territory and starts to walk, avoiding the public but also making their way to another tribe's territory. As they were walking a few brutes pushed by Tooth who look at him in annoyance

Brute: Hey watch where are you going?

Tooth: *mumbles* Yes sir... I must ask why are we heading to the Biker tribes?

King: I've said this twice already! We need some new supplies and weapons! Thor came back again a couple of weeks ago and we're expecting him to appear again, so we need to prepare

Tooth: Oh so- Wait, Thor!?

King: Yes... why do you think we brought you? So you can protect my son and I

Tooth: But- but-

King: Are you... afraid?

Tooth: ... N-No sir

King: Good... fear doesn't exist in our tribe so if you were, you would be a disgrace for us brute!

They continue to walk off as Tooth mumbles under his breath, mocking him. Soon they arrive at the Biker's base where the leader and a few others are waiting for him

?: Welcome back King! My best customer!

King: It's been a while, Tyson

They approach the table as they see the leader, Tyson, who has orange hair, wears a black leather jacket, ripped jeans, steel toe boots, and shade, leaning back with his feet on the table which he sits up with a smile on his face. He peeks beside the Brutes to see Jorge hiding behind to brutes

Tyson: Heh I guess the Order has to do with this

King: Yes...

Tyson: HA! HA! HA! As much as it sounds terrible for you! It's good for me and gives you a reason to continue our business! *Laugh*

King: ...

Tyson: *cough* But back to the subject, we brought you what you needed! Weapon, medications, and you got lucky we have the last one, a Bifrost!

Tyson opens up a suitcase with a small blue crystal which King walks over and takes to get a closer look. The Bifrost is one of the 7 rare crystal are used around the world. Each crystal has a unique ability if a person comes in contact or is being used. The Bifrost is a blue crystal that has the use for teleportation to anywhere to user desire but can only be used once after every 5 hours. After getting a close look, King puts the crystal back and closes the suitcase

King: Hand them their money, Tooth, and get our deal

Tooth: But sir, I'm a bodyguard, shouldn't I-

King: Do as I say!

Tooth: Right...

He walks over with the suitcase of money which Tyson opens to see the cash and lets out a smirk and closes it

Tyson: Hand them what they need! *snaps finger*

The groups of bikers hand Tooth the suitcases which he struggles a bit to hold all at once until the four brutes take a suitcase from him

Tyson: Pleasure doing business with you and I wish you good luck for you to not die *chuckles*

King: Yeah...

The brutes turn to leave as they make their way back to their base. Tooth soon grows tired of the unfairness he has as he notices the other brutes are only carrying one case while he carries two

Tooth: "Why am I only carrying two? This is so unfair?!"

He then notice Jorge, who wasn't carrying anything but a notebook, walking beside him nervously

Tooth: Hey kid... why don't you carry a bag?

Jorge stares at him for a bit until opening his notebook and writing some words and then showing it to him

Jorge: "Sorry I can't... my dad says newbies can't get any help"

Tooth: ... Come one just a little?

Jorge: *shakes head*

Tooth: ... Listen here you little shit! You better help me or-

Suddenly Tooth gets punched across the face and he gets slammed into a wall

Brute: What the hell do you think you are doing insulting the boss's son?

Brute 2: Are you that pathetic?!

Tooth: *Grunt*

King: Hey! Enough fighting you two! Let's get going... oh and Tooth... we'll talk after what you did there

Tooth: ... Yeah I agree

Soon they arrive back at their base where they find everything still intact and most of the brutes are ready to leave

King: Alright men we will-

Suddenly thunder strikes down, hitting some of the brutes and killing them. The four brutes quickly cover King and Jorge as all of the brutes prepare themselves

Tooth: What the hell?!

Brute: He's here...

Suddenly they see someone in a caped hoodie in the air, levitating down to the ground as lighting sparks from him and the sky was covered in a thunderstorm

Brute: Prepare yourself!!

Tooth: Heh! Whoever this is, he's just a mere human! A brute will take him out!

Brute: You idiot!

Tooth jumps towards him and swings a punch at him but the second he makes an impact with him, Tooth looks in shock as the stranger looks unfazed. He reaches his finger to touch him but before he could touch him, a brute pushes Tooth out of the way, saving him

Brute: Protect our leader at all-

Suddenly a small shock goes through the brute after the stranger taps him and he immediately collapses to the ground dead

Tooth: ... What...

King: I've told you not to underestimate anyone!

Tooth: W-Who is that?!

King: ... Thor...

Thor: ...

Tooth: "That's Thor? I thought he would be some brute not... not a human?!"

He pulls out his hammer which sparks out lighting and slowly walks towards them

Brute: Slow him down!

Brute 2: Don't let him near the leader!

Brute 3: For the Brutes!

The brutes start to charge at them but Thor swings his arm calmly, killing any of the brutes that stand in his way

King: Why did it have to be now of all times!?

He opens up a suitcase and grabs the Bifrost which he lifts in the air and opens up a portal beside him

King: The ones that are carrying something get to the exit! The ones that aren't slow him down!

The brutes that were carrying the supplies quickly runs into the portal as the brutes continue to charge at him to slow him down. Tooth stares in shock seeing how an Order general, beat the brute in a pack with ease.

Tooth: I... how... why... why is this human strong?... I thought we brute are the strongest?...

Thor lets out a sigh and jumps toward them which Tooth looks in fear and covers himself

Tooth: DON'T HURT ME! TAKE WHAT YOU NEED!

Suddenly Tooth notice Thor passing by him and reaches for Jorge, who was behind him in surprise. Before he could grab him a brute grabs Thor by the leg and throws him into their old base

Brute: Get out of here sir! And you what are you doing?! Protect our damn boss! You're his bodyguard!

Thor bursts out of the wall in annoyance and he lifts his hammer and thunderstorm begins to circle above him as thunder strikes around him and his hammer

Tooth: "Is this what it means to be a bodyguard... a lower job... no... it can't be... I thought this will be an easy ticket to be higher up... I don't want to die as a small worker!"

King finishes helping the last member of the brute until notices Jorge still standing in fear and shock. Thor slams down his hammer which breaks the ground and lightning crawl through the cracks towards Jorge and Tooth.

Tooth: "I can't! I can't die without the feeling of being high above!"

Tooth immediately starts running away in fear, leaving Jorge and jumping into the portal passing by King

King: Jorge!

Before King could rush towards Jorge, a brute jumps towards Jorge, grabbing him and avoiding the lighting on the cracked ground. The brute sets Jorge beside the other brutes that are protecting King and he goes with the last three brutes that stand in Thor's path

Brute: Go, King! We'll give you time!

Brute 2: It's an honor being on your side brother...

Brute: For the Brutes!

King: ... Thank you... my brothers...

They quickly run into the portal as the last four brutes charges at Thor who finishes them off instantly giving enough time for the portal to shut

Thor: ... hmm...

Back at where the brutes escape, they catch their breath while they set everything down and quickly start to help the wounded ones

Tooth: We live... I live... I got-

King: Tooth...

Tooth: Eh-

Suddenly Tooth gets punched across the face by King and he gets sent flying while bouncing on the ground for a bit

King: What... the fuck is that?!

Tooth: Huh?...

King: You not only decide to be a coward but you leave my son to die!?

Tooth: B-But sir-

King: I don't want to hear any excuse! You are nothing but a disgrace to the brutes!

Tooth: A disgrace?! You wanted me to die by him?!

King: Yes! You are a bodyguard! We brute tribe face death with pride while you don't have any...

Tooth: Pride my ass! I don't give a shit about the pride! I am only in this stupid group because I was hoping to get an easy path to becoming higher-ups!

King: ... You only joined because you wanted an easy path?

Tooth: Yes! Yes! I want to have what you have! I'm tired of being bossed around! I'm tired of being the one who has to do everything too fast what or where I want! I want the feeling of telling people what to do! The feeling of being bigger while everyone is ants! The feeling you are better than everyone!

King: ... You will never be a leader with that attitude... you are nothing but arrogant... The only reason why you are still a newbie is that you never showed anything that was prideful or anything that shows you are willing to die in honor! Those brute sacrifice themselves for us and you...they went out with pride and we'll honor them with high respect and remember to never underestimate anyone...

Tooth: *tsk* You are a disgrace if you believe and mere human is stronger than us!

King: You say that when you almost died to one... Leave this tribe... or I'll throw you back to where Thor is...

Tooth: Good! I was planning on leaving! Fucking wasted my life...

He gets up and walks away in anger as King watches in disappointment and anger

Tooth: "I'll be a higher up... and I show you, king... I don't need to do anything to earn it!"

Present time:

Tooth: And look where it got me! I'm much higher than that damn King! And once I become Royalty, the first thing I'll do is bring down that stupid Brute tribe for what they put me through!

Tadayoshi: ... Are you serious... you're really are a pussy

Tooth: Huh?

Tadayoshi: I thought you were some weird threat when I heard you use to work for a tribe but now hearing this... just makes me feel like I'm wasting my time...

Tooth: You... Are going to regret what you said!

He starts running at him to swing a hit but Tadayoshi blocks his attack with her spear and swings an uppercut to his stomach then follows up by swinging his spear, hitting him through another floor above them. Tadayoshi jumps to the floor where Tooth is, who slowly gets up while chuckling

Tadayoshi: What's so funny

Tooth: Oh nothing... just remembering I shouldn't have jumped the gun like I just did... cause I'm fighting someone so low...

Tadayoshi: ...

Tooth: I'm not a coward like before... and I've been through some changes, so I don't have to remember being beaten by someone who isn't a higher-up like me!

Tadayoshi: Right...

Tooth: And now I have a reason why I'm named Tooth

He pulls something out of his pocket and puts it in his mouth which he lets out a few bites, revealing sharp metal teeth

Tadayoshi: ... What?

Tooth: You may have a spear as your weapon by my teeth are my weapon

He instantly leaps at him which Tadayoshi almost catches him off guard but he quickly dodges as Tooth bites on a pillar behind which crumbles into pieces.

Tqdayoshu: Dafqu...

Tooth then turns at him which a wide grin on his face and gets into a fighting stance which Tadayoshi does the same

Tooth: Now shall we continue?
