'Strong' alone... is not enough.

"Yes! This year, let's take over the world!"

And then the three who changed my fate appeared...

"You're Manjiro, huh? Nice to finally meet ya." Keiji spoke up.

"Am I supposed to know who you are?" Mikey asked.

"Koyanagi Keiji. President of the Scorpion Gang. Though, I suppose it's not a shocker that don't know about my poor little gang who you can easily destroy with a snap of your finger. Well, if they didn't have me leading them, that is." Keiji introduced himself.

I had heard about the Scorpion Gang before. An independent gang who tried their best not to get in another gang's way. So when their President offered to make an alliance in exchange for protection, I got curious.

Keiji was a strong person, and he was smart. But he was no leader. Something that he admitted himself.

"You... want to merge your gang with Toman?"

"Yeah." Keiji replied. "I only made the Scorpion Gang to find Shinichiro-san's killer. I'm no leader, Manjiro. I don't have the charisma you got."

That's why I was surprised when...

"Also, I like you."

"Hm?"

Keiji sighed. "God, I can't believe I'm fucking admitting this. I'm not the best at feelings. Never really have been. I have a huge crush on you, or something like that. Man... How do girls do this shit?" He mumbled under his breath.

Mikey slightly chuckled. "I guess you're all right. But are you sure you want to be with me?" He asked.

"I'm sure." Keiji nodded.

"Kei, I'm serious." Mikey told him, causing the red head to hum. "If you end up being with me, I'll drag you down the same dark path."

Keiji grinned. "As long as I'm with you, I could care less." He said as Mikey sighed.

"All right. Let's try this dating thing then."

"Sounds good to me."

Hanagaki Takemichi.

He's not strong... He's a guy who will stand up no matter what.

Despite losing, despite crying... He always finds himself inside of me.

"I did not lose!"

Takemichi, why are you...

"Why did you stand up... with that beaten up body of yours? Did you really think you stand a chance to win against me?" Mikey asked.

"... I made... a promise to the future you." Takemichi claimed, getting Mikey's attention. "I made a promise to Baji-kun,"

"Mikey and Toman... I'll leave them to you!"

"I made a promise to Draken-kun." Takemichi continued on.

"Take care of Mikey."

Takemichi clenched his fist. "That's why..." He charged forward. "I will never lose!"

Mikey kicked Takemichi in the stomach, knocking him down to the ground.

"The amount of punches I'm getting might kill me at this rate." Takemichi noted.

"You should say it properly."

"I'm scared! I wanna run away!"

Takemichi slowly got back up as Mikey looked back at him. "I've thrown away all my fear. Only I am able to save you from that darkness." Takemichi thought as he got thrown to the ground again.

"I've seen many futures." Takemichi thought as all of the futures he saw before crossed his mind.

"Only I can save you from this."

Mikey kept on sending kicks to Takemichi. "You really should be dead by now." Mikey commented as Takemichi stood up once more.

"My vision is starting to get blurry. And my hearing is getting bad. But—"

"I won't give up!" Takemichi exclaimed as he ended up getting a vision.

"A vision?! When will it happen?!" Takemichi wondered as Mikey sent another kick. "Now!?"

【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】

Takemichi ended up falling to the ground. "What does this mean?! The vision happened immediately." He thought.

"What's wrong, Mikey?"

"Could this be..."

Takemichi stood up. "Is that all you got?" He asked.

"You... You'll die for sure." Mikey replied as Takemichi got another vision.

"Here it comes..." Takemichi thinks to himself as he saw Mikey kicking him. "This..."

Takemichi quickly dodged Mikey's kick. "He blocked it?!" Mikey said in pure shock.

"Just as I thought, it happens immediately." Takemichi commented.

"I saw a short glimpse of the future just now! My visions have evolved." Takemichi realized. "It's time to counter this!"

"Bring it on, Mikey!"

Takemichi kept using his visions to dodge Mikey's attacks. "I... I dodged it! Next is a backward kick!" He thought, dodging Mikey's kick.

Mitsuya was watching the scene. "Hakkai... Wake up." He said.

"U... Ugh..."

"Hey... The dude dodging Mikey's kicks, is it who I think it is?" Mitsuya asked as Hakkai had a look of confusion on his face. "Am I dreaming or something?"

The two saw Takemichi dodge another one of Mikey's kicks.

"No way! He dodged that?!" Hakkai exclaimed.

Sanzu also had a look of shock on his face. "What the hell did I wake up to?!" He asked himself.

"Takemichi is... seeing right through Mikey's moves?!"

"Could it be..." Mikey realized. "... that you know my movements?!"

"... Can you predict the future?!"

"Once again I am reminded of how great Mikey is. Even though I know what'll happen next, I still have to give it my all to evade! The thought of these kicks hitting me makes me tremble, but..." Takemichi thought.

"I must not falter! I must recall the kicks, and once the next kick comes, there will be a gap that leads to an opening."

"Here it goes!" Takemichi exclaimed as he sent a punch towards Mikey's face, sending him to the ground.
