We ran.
As fast as we could.
The wind whipped past us as we raced through the forest.
Nothing should happen to Yamato, I thought.
A loud explosion echoed ahead.
Then we arrived.
Yamato was locked in battle with a boy around Creature's age.
Their fists collided, sending shockwaves through the trees.
"YAMATO!!" I shouted.
"ASH!!" Creature yelled at the same time.
I looked at him.
"Wait... you know him?"
Creature nodded.
"He's my friend!"
"Then why are they fighting?"
He frowned.
"I... don't know."
The four of us struggled to separate them.
Even working together, it took everything we had to stop the fight.
Ash dusted himself off and stared at Yamato.
"That guy has an incredible amount of Destructive Energy."
He let out a nervous laugh.
"I've never fought someone with this much before."
Yamato looked at Creature.
Then at me.
"What happened here?"
So we explained everything.
The battle.
Kaijunoo.
The voice inside me.
Everything.
Silence followed.
I looked at Creature.
"I still can't shake this feeling..."
I hesitated.
"...that we're brothers."
Creature slowly nodded.
"Me too."
Suddenly...
The ground trembled.
Heavy footsteps echoed through the forest.
One...
Two...
Three...
A gigantic monster stepped out from the trees.
It towered over all of us.
Creature sighed.
"There you are."
I frowned.
"What do you mean?"
The monster scratched the back of its head.
"I was gathering information."
It looked directly at me.
Then at Creature.
A strange smile spread across its face.
"Oh..."
"So none of you know yet."
My heart began to race.
"Know what?" I asked.
The monster laughed.
"You two..."
It pointed at me and Creature.
"...are brothers."
"What?!"
I shouted.
"What?!"
Creature yelled.
"What?!"
Ash and Yamato said together.
The monster blinked.
"...What?"
