"KLANG!"

Sparks flew as three pairs of daggers cut into each other. The atmosphere in the pitch black domain was thick with intense concentration.

It was deathly silent inside the domain, but that didn't diminish the intense atmosphere.

"Klang klang klang klang klang!"

Sparks shot out all over the place in a 700 meter radius. Three silhouettes were hunting and defending against each other. After an unknown period of time, the domain had been tactfully covered In puddles of water.

Eventually two silhouettes fell down, slipping because of a puddle of water.

"Thud"

Two childish voices cursed out in frustration

"Damn it! These stupid puddles of water! Papa you're a jerk."

With a sudden flash of light in the darkness, Sin had his two daggers at the throat of Alannah and Samara.

"There is no such thing as being a jerk when it comes to assassination. There are only three results. Your target gets killed, you the assassin get killed, or you retreat from unfavorable situations."

Sin sucked his energy back into his body, and the domain disappeared shortly after. Sins body was covered in beads of sweat from head to toe.

"Good job my girls, who would have known you two had such high aptitude. You've already learned, and perfected everything that took me a full year to accomplish, in a matter of 6 days. You should both be very proud, uncle Midnight is going to have a run for his money facing you two little monsters."

Hearing their papas appraisal, both Alannah and Samara let out brilliant smiles with their laughter.

"Papa is the best teacher, that's why we are able to learn and execute so fast!"

"You two are able to synchronize perfectly with each other. If you were given another three months of time, I would certainly lose my life against the both of you. Now then, what so you say we go back for lunch. I'm starved after training you two little monsters."

Sin brought his girls back home. Making a hearty lunch, Sin became dispirited knowing his time was just about to run out.

"Alannah, Samara I am so proud of the both of you. I'm sorry to say it, but my time being here is up. I promise, no matter what the situation is. I will switch with uncle Midnight to tuck you two into bed, train with you, and cook for you guys still. This isn't a goodbye by any means, this is just a see ya later."

Alannah and Samara went silent, their heads hung down but they knew it was time their papa had to leave.

Running into their papas embrace, hugging Sin as hard as they could both girls said.

"Papa please don't do anything dangerous to yourself. We don't want you to get hurt!"

Sin combed both of his girls hair affectionately.

"Papa promises he won't do anything to endanger himself. But you two must promise me something as well. Live well, eat well, and cultivate as hard as you can. The both of you in a couple years time no, more like a couple of weeks will surpass me if I slack off."

Kissing and hugging both his girls one last time, Sin said.

"See ya my little princesses, papa will switch back soon once things are under control."

Sins aura vanished, and was replaced with Midnight Reapers once again. This however, was brought a long with a string of curses.

"Goddamn mother fucker! I was just about to see a mother-daughter combo in the hot springs. Could he have picked a WORSE time to switch back!?"

---------------------------------

"YOU FUCKING PERVERT!" Two womanly voices sounded out, shaking the Fairy Clan in wonder.

"CLAP!!!!!!"

"FUCK YOU MIDNIGHT REAPER!" Sin bellowed in extreme indignance and fury.

The morning passed quickly, albeit with a heavy and tense atmosphere surrounding Alaris and Acacia.

Sin had a bright red hand print on both left and right cheek. For the first time in five hours, Acacia talked to Sin.

"Wear this it will hide your status page from Grand Master Rank and below identification spells. Also, the next time you need to relieve yourself. Let me know, I will happily do it for you. Sadly I know that was not YOUR intentions, but that other persons. The King Of Mercenary Representatives will be arriving soon, I expect answers later this evening without ANY bullshit!"

Sin was given a steel blue cape, it had the insignia of the Fairy Clan engraved on it. The insignia depicted a holy woman in priest robes, illusionary like watery wings sprouted from her back, she had long cascading hair and bewitching eyes. The woman holding her hands together with palms facing the sky. In her hand was a ancient manual, the inheritance of the Fairy Clans innate Magic.

Sin wore a black robe, engraved on the back was a golden Phoenix, and on the front was a white-blue Wolf. On both sides of the robes arms, there was a sky blue Dragon, and a yellow-orange Vermilion Bird. On the epicenter of the robe at Sins chest, was the depiction of a vast and boundless battlefield filled with corpses and numerous weapons.

The robe was an extension of his Refinement Armour, while not as obvious. The robe embodied Sins Refinement Method, and also the Bloody Battlefield Totem that is exclusive to his bloodline and future descendants.

Sin and Acacia were waiting for the King Of Mercenary Representatives to pick them up. Another hour passed, and a giant boat engraved with mysterious talismans came into sight.

Acacia gave her orders to Alaris.

"Alaris you are to run the clan in my steed while I am gone. You have the full support of all the elders, and also a one time use communication device pair to contact me with. You will do well my daughter, it is not the first time you had to do this before."

Acacia and Alaris shared a hug with each other, Acacia took this time to tease Alaris and whispered into her ear.

"Don't worry I will take care of your precious Sin. He's so damn handsome, I might just want to take him for a ride."

Alaris broke away with a beet red face and in a huff.

"That's not fair mother!" Alaris screamed out in frustration.

Acacia smiled provocatively, saying with a devilish grin on her face. "I don't know what you mean by that my daughter."

The King Of Mercenary Representatives arrived, with a domineering and oppressive aura shouted out.

"Matriarch Acacia, you and your Mercenary have one minute to say your goodbyes. If you take any longer than that, you are disqualified and will be dumped at sea. I must warn you now though, the moment you step foot onto the ship. The King Of Mercenary Tournament begins!"

Sin and Acacia said their goodbyes to everyone. Alaris looked longingly at Sins departing back, but couldn't muster the courage to run up and hug him.

Feeling a pair of eyes intently staring at his back, Sin rose his hand in the air and waved while calling out.

"Thank you again for what you did to help me recover Alaris. The least I can do is pay you back with a favour, as long as it doesn't cross my bottom line."

Before Sin and Acacia stepped onto the ship, he heard a young girls pleading voice.

"Uncle Sin please wait!"

Loud voices called out from behind.

"Nora you can't disturb the King Of Mercenaries Representatives!"

Nora ignored all the Fairy Clan Elders around her, she ran towards Sin with all the might her little body could muster.

Sin turned around and knelt down on one knee giving Nora a hug.

"Be safe, you're the only parent I have left in this world! I don't want to lose you, like I lost mom and papa that night!"

Hugging Nora and combing her hair, Sin said with a caring voice.

"Don't you worry Nora, you should know by now uncle is not someone to kick the can easily. I will come back in one piece without any harm. But now I must go, be good for everyone while I'm gone okay?"

Nora nodded her head. "I understand." Nora's eyes couldn't hide the sadness, and longing she felt for Sin at the same time.

Sin patted Nora's head one last time before getting back up, and stepping onto the gigantic boat.

The moment Sin and Acacia stepped foot on the ship, Sin felt a bone chillingly cold killing intent erupt behind them.

Acting with quick and elegant motion, Sin stomped down on an assailants dagger. The dagger was shattered to pieces between Sins foot and the wooden floor boards.

Sin slashed out his sword with utmost control and speed. All six King Of Mercenary Representatives had an asterisk cut engraved on their left cheek.

"CHAK!" Sin sheathed Kaiser after his attack. Sins Emperor Aura blasted out of his body, giving those who were already in the lounging cabin felt a suffocating pressure.

"THUD!"

The six representatives smashed onto the flooring, loud cracks emitted from their chests, chins and noses.

Six pink flower petals danced around each representatives neck.

Sin called out as he walked in toe with Acacia to the lodging cabin.

"The six of you are lucky to be high ranking representatives, if you weren't someone else's bitches. Your throats would be slit, and heads chopped off your body for daring to show hostility towards myself. Count your blessings, because next time I will not pull back!"

Sin took this time to turn around, waving has hand in the air as he yelled out. Sin imbued his voice with Mana, allowing it to travel the 35 kilometre distance reaching Nora's ears.

"Nora train hard you made a promise to yourself. You must train like your life depends on it to achieve it no matter what!"

Slamming the lodging cabins door shut, Sin retracted his Emperor Aura. The six representatives had murderous and indignant faces.

"Berlin, that mother fucker overstepped the lines! I am going to kill him and Acacia!"

Berlin, the leader of the representatives put the man who raged loudly in his place.

"You had best learn your place Yulin, it was you who announced the beginning of the tournament when they boarded the ship. Go fuck off or I will kill you personally, besides there are plenty of other passengers to take care of them."

After Sin and Acacia entered the lounging cabin, Sin spread his Mana out encompassing it. The entire lounging area was a 800 by 600 meter room. There were 75 rooms, each which had 15 pairs of bunk beds in each room. Sins Mana expanded downwards, finding there was a training hall, and rooms with training equipment, simulations, artificial intelligent dummies and so forth.

Various auras locked onto Sin and Acacia moments after, some were neutral, some were easy going, and of course others were hostile.

A young man came out with a smile on his face.

"That little outburst we felt moments ago, had to have been you guys right?"

The man reached his hand out in front of Sin. "You can call me Arcuz, what do you say we become brothers? There are plenty of badasses here already, but you're by far the most entertaining."

Sin reached his hand out clasping hands with Arcuz.

"You must have more than that for a reason to want to be brothers with me?" Sin asked on high alert.

Arcuz let go of their clasp shrugging his shoulders.

"Whatever other reasons I have is private for now. And besides you just shook my hand, in my books that calls us brothers. Too late to pull out this now brother."

Arcuz slapped Sins shoulders and said. "Let's go in shall we? It would be rude to keep the others waiting."

Sin and Acaia were brought around by Arcuz, soon a mental map had been created in Sins mind, which he passed over to Acacia. There were various red x's, green x's and white x's which represented hostile, friendly, and neutral.

There were 350 hostile, 75 neutral and 10 friendly including Arcuz.

Arcuz' eyes turned steel like as they entered the living room area. There were 125 people wielding various weapons. At the head of the gang was a cocky middle age man.

"A new rookie who still reeks of his mother's breast milk. Arcuz why don't you take your new 'brother' and jump off the boat. It would save you both a world of pai-"

Sin vanished from his spot like magic, appearing behind the middle aged man. With his hand stretched out, tightly gripping the back of the mans head. Sin slammed downwards with such might, the wooden boards snapped and the entire ship rocked back and forth.

"Trash like you should learn your place, there is a unspoken rule amongst mercenaries where I come from. If you have time to talk bullshit, you have already been ambushed!:

Sin got up and spat on the middle aged mans unconscious body. Radiating his killing intent, Sin bellowed out.

"From now on I am the mother fucking boss here! If I tell you black is white, black is white. And if I say white is black, white is black. Do you understand me maggots!?"

After making his face have a calm and serene look on it, Sin mentioned a tiny detail he forgot to previously.

"Before I forget to mention, if there are any objections you may come forward. However, your result will be like this piece of shit on the floor."

A young man came forward, with blue hair, eyes and a innate cold attitude, with his aura surging out of his body. The temperature in the lodging cabin became -100 in seconds.

"Let's fuck him up boys, this blind mother fucker walks in all hot shit. Blow his ass to kingdom gone!"

Another identical man came forward, he had red hair, eyes and a innate fiery temperament. Hugging the blue haired man, their right hands clasped as their arms stretched out. Their left arms rose in complete perfect sequence, ice and fire began mixing together.

Their auras surged becoming a icy-hot like sensation. Both men yelled simultaneously. "Let's do it brother, blow his ass to kingdom gone!"

A brilliant blue-red glob of energy formed in between their hands. Taking stance, they shot the glob of energy at Sin. What was once a small little glob, became like a rocket from a fucking anti tank rifle. [Hellsing Abridged reference here.]

After the beam shot full speed at Sin, a army of men and women shot out with weapons drawn. Then they came to a dead stop.

Sin yawned loudly, as if the twins attack were a annoying mosquito. Sin slapped the attack away with his bare hand.

The twins eyes widened in fright as they both yelled.

"Oh shit!"

"PRKKKKK!"

The twins were blasted backwards, covered in blood from head to toe. Two arms fell to the ground, frozen solid and shattering upon impact.

Thankfully the ship was laced in multiple layers of protective formations. Or else that attack alone would have blown the entirety of the ship up.

After all the fog in the lounging cabin cleared up, Sin stood exactly where he was almost completely unharmed.

Sin held his hand to his mouth, and was blowing on it vigorously while cursing.

"Mother fucker this hot and cold sensation really pisses me off!"

Sin looked at the twins seeing them both missing an arm, the quirky side of him came out.

"The both of you are such an inspiration. It must be hard to live with only one arm. Although I'm sure you can still manage the circle jerk no problem. Hey look at me everyone, I'm jerking off with the Knights Of The Sticky Stumps!" Sin began motioning his hand up and down over his crotch.

Sin put on a pair of black gloves, and a silver ascot then all hell broke loose.

"WOOOOOOOOOH!"

"You see this mother fucking ascot I'm wearing? This is my Mercenary beating ascot. I got it from beating 50 mercenaries in a row!" (I may have gotten inspiration from Attack of the ascot man.)

Flashing about all 125 men and women, Sin beat them ruthlessly and without any remorse. Cracks and snaps sounded like a symphony, and Sin was conducting a one way trip to snap city.

After twenty minutes passed and countless beatings, 125 bodies lay black and blue on the ground. Sin began clapping his hands.

"Listen up my pathetic children. From now on you all may call me father dearest!"

The day soon went by, along their way and making 345 more stops. With one mercenary, and one clan representative boarding at each stop. The ship soon became full to the brim, and chaos broke out of its cage like bats out of hell.

After Sin had beaten 700 people with his fists, the six representatives could no longer turn a blind eye. However, they were quickly sent packing with panda eyes and broken pride.

And so the night passed with snaps, cracks and torturous screaming out at sea. The six bruised panda eyed representatives got goosebumps, and their balls shriveled from the captain's room. Where they watched first hand through monitors, what kind of a madman was participating in the tournament.

Out of 1,125 participants and patriarchs or matriarchs, only 90 made it through the day and night unbeaten.
