Drake: The Secret Of His BanKai
- Dated After The Incident At Konoha
CHAPTER 1
Leon's Proposal
It had now been almost two months after the incident at Konoha. He could still smell the scent of his brother in the air, blood also swirling around with it. "Shit. He's closing in already." These past months had been focused on escape. Drake now knew the kind of power Leon had with his demon minions. Although this was the second time Drake had met his brother outside of their hometown, something was different. The power of his brother had grown. It was raging. It was
unhuman. Getting up from the side of the tree, he was still sure that his injuries would not heal. A year earlier, the ritual had all went down. That was his first encounter with his brother.
But now, Drake could no longer depend on his luck. His strength was depleted, his tactics lost. Leon had come to kill him. This was his end. His brother's spirit power was now unbearable. It was as if the spirit pressure itself had a path of suffocating him. He could feel it. Less than a mile away was his brother, the man who saved Drake, the man who cursed Drake. Closing his eyes for the last time, he wondered if the world really cared if he was gone.

"Hello brother."
Drake opened his eyes. It seemed as twilight had began in the distance. To his front, was his brother. As imposing as ever. "Hey." Leon smiled and sat down, next to Drake. "So, what now?" Drake asked, patiently waiting for his demise. Leon turned his head. "Don't worry," he said, "tonight is not your last night --" He took a pause -- "for I will spare your life. This is too uninteresting. You see." he looked up into the sky, his silver eyes gleaming in the light, "I have come not to kill you, but to teach you how to defend yourself. Now that you are a part of
my race, I can teach you a technique which can save your life at many times... and for you to use...
to kill..." He stopped and stood up, holding out a hand for Drake. He quickly ignored the offer and stood up by himself. "Remember?" Leon moved to face Drake. "The same thing
I used on your little village back there." Drake's eyes widened. That village was under siege from hundreds of demons, right? So what did he mean by -- "Oh, brother, you didn't know? I destroyed that village all alone..." He turned and replied, "Then no. I do not want to learn such an attack!" Moving off to the side of the clearing in the forest, Leon had persuasively rebutted with a, "Then I must kill you now..."

Threatened to join in, Drake had been teleported to Leon's secret base. Upon arrival, he had looked around the entire vicinity. Strangely enough, it was a desert landscape, with cliffs of sand all around and a clear blue sky directly above. "So," Drake grinned, "what move will this be?" No reply. "Not saying? Fine then." Spending time to walk around, he had noticed that he was not alone. There were footprints in the sand, along with traces of blood all around.
From afar, a voice echoed through the land.
"Welcome, brother, to the Desert Zone!"
