"We worship not the gods, but our blades and our loved ones" Brea whispered to himself as he recited the motto and oath of the Itan-Sha, he knew who he was waiting for and it was just a matter of time until they got here. Allorum had changed alot over the years and he had watched it grow, watched it reach the pinnacle of it's strength, he had seen that fall and rise again and again. The process was growing repetetive for Brea and he deliberatley had avoided the heroes, not much was known of the Itan-Sha considering they had all died out nearly 1000 years ago now...
But still a few legends lived on and those who knew them would not like them, the tales that most heard of his clan were stories of a group of sadistic, heretic, swordsmen who raped and pillaged the lands and left none alive in their wake, but Brea knew otherwise, he had seen both the good and the bad side of the Itan-Sha and he respected them unbelieveably "Where are you...?" he muttered aloud.

"For the gods may fail us but our blades and our loved ones cannot" Akuma said with a small chuckle as he walked up behind Brea, they were stood atop the bronze skyscraper and the wind buffeted them heavily but neither man moved, Akuma's necktie fluttered in the wind. "I thought you were dead Brea" he said coldly "We split up all those years ago back when we were children but you just didn't die..."
Akuma couldn't help but recall his past in his mind, he'd had a good childhood with Brea but now everything was different for some reason, Akuma couldn't place it, he shouldn't hate Brea at all but he does. He hates him with an almost inhuman passion yet in fairness it was not like it was impossible for Akuma to do things that were inhuman...

"I didn't die because I am not yet finished with my life Quentin" Brea said using Akuma's real name "You know exactly what is that you did and yet still you like to tell yourself that you're in the right" He turned to face Akuma with a glare on his face before taking the plain steel katana off his back and throwing it at his feet, it slided towards him with a grinding noise before falling silently to a halt "She's dead" he said bluntly looking Akuma in the eye "You killed her didn't you. She trusted you, she put her life on the line for you" His hands were shaking now as his anger slowly started to build to a crescendo "She by the blades trusted you Quentin!" he roared at his former friend "And you betrayed her..."

Akuma looked down at the katana, stunned to silence if he was being honest... "Alta..? She's..?" He looked across at Brea and simple shook his head, he hadn't intended for her to die... That was never his plan! "How? I never struck her at all, I simply sealed her away, paralyzed her momentarily so that I could escape from them, she wouldn't let us retreat you know what she was like... But the Saints were a lost cause Brea! Duo's armies would have crushed us there and then had I not tried to escape!"

It was taking all of Brea's strength not to unsheathe his other blade and cut down his former friend here and now. "No!" he roared "If you'd have stood and fought like was expected of you, maybe you could have both survived, but your bloody cowardice has cost her her life!" his hand was on the hilt of his blade now and he was staring down the white haired mage. "You forsook your loved ones for your own selfish means, how can I ever hope to forgive you now, Quentin? What honesty and integrity can I see in you now? You're a monster..."

"Honesty!" Akuma roared, turning to face Brea he moved closer towards him "You speak to me of honesty and integrity like I am some perfectly honorable warrior, Brea!" he was now right in his former companions face, his red neck tie covering his lower jaw "I'm not a member of the Itan-Sha anymore! You're living in the past you damn swordsman, the Itan-Sha doesn't even exist anymore! I'd be lynched if anyone even hinted at my involvement!" there was a warping sound as Akuma's sword appeared in his hand.
"Don't make me kill you here Brea..."

"YOU WANTED TO BE THEIR LEADER!" Brea unleashed his voice in a roar, as Akuma came closer and closer to him, eventually he had a sword in hand. And the Itan-Sha swordsman found himself unsheathing his katana and holding it against Akuma's blade. "Do you have it in you Quentin?!" he growled, his breaths were heavy as he braced himself for a fight "I was always the better fighter, Crasa could best me, maybe, but she's gone, just like Alta, and that's all your fault too isn't it!" suddenly there was a grinding sound as Brea moved his blood red katana against Akuma's broadsword.
"You won't admit it though, will you? Because you're a coward. And a monster."

"What's the point of being Saido to a bunch of dead men Brea?!" he demanded, stepping back and holding his sword up, positioning himself between Cao-Wei and the second katana that was laid out on the floor. Akuma knew that Brea primarily used a duel-wielding style to overwhelm his opponents and eventually deal the killing blow. If he could keep Alta's sword out of his hand, then he could stave him off with magic and possibly overcome his opponent "And you'll soon be joining them if you keep up Brea, I won't spare you! No matter what we went through together..!"
Two boys and a young girl ran through the Itan-Sha camp, the boys wielding swords, the girl an axe. Suddenly, the platinum haired blonde fell to the ground with an 'oomph' "Quentin!" the other two cried as they backtracked, helping him up "You okay, Quentin?" A golden haired blonde asked. "We can't have our future Saido falling over as he leads us into battle, can we?" the boy continued. Quentin smiled "You're right, I was just checking how loyal you are, Brea!" he looked across at the Pink haired girl "You too Crasa! When I'm Saido! You're going to be my top warriors, okay?!" he held out a hand, Crasa placed her hand over his "Got it!" she yelled, Brea did the same "Deal!" he said, ruffling Quentin's hair...
