[FINISHED]Florence Italy [MAIN STORYLINE EVENT]

~Yuusuke/Kuuga~

A Young Yuusuke, or more or less known truly as the legendary red warrior Kuuga, was seen driving through the streets of Italy, looking around for any threats, he was riding on his Prized, Beat-Chaser 2000. A Speeding bike, that far exceeded normal technology. He, was in his mighty form, as seen by the red armor enveloping his entire body. Yuusuke, was sent on the same mission, as Sho. Maybe it was some sort of mistake. or maybe it was fate, but Yuusuke wasn't really worried or even knew, he was on a similar mission, however he didn't sense many of the hollowed presences he had at the beginning, what kind of sign was it? he decided to rev up the handles on his motorcycle, and drive faster through the city. Leaving, the people of this town in awe, after all it wasn't everyday you see a red armored warrior driving through your town on a bike. Especially in this normal and peaceful town. this was one area, that wasn't effected by much destruction. In fact, the town seemed to be unaffected, by the hell that karakura town had experienced through all of it's 400 years, he could admit one thing though, Italy did look quite new, more then it was 400 years ago. He, loved the smell of the fresh air, and even felt tempted to stop in for some pizza, which was convenient, since he was stopped by a pizza shop owner, asking to take a picture with him. he got off of the bike and nodded, smiling through the mask and getting in a picture with the man's family, giving his prized thumbs up. and even letting them touch around his armor, and play around on his bike as well.

After, that little interaction, he smiled giving one more thumbs up gesture, and waving goodbye to the family, as he continued to drive. He, was still wondering why that hollow presence had disappeared so quickly, but then he sensed a hollow, presence coming and decided to drive to it, somewhere from Sho, was enjoying the fresh air, a medium sized hollow, made it's way through the city towards Yuusuke, Yuusuke decided to take care of him, and jumped up off of his bike, Sending a Powerful Thrusting Drill kick through the monster's head, effectively taking the rabid beast out. causing it to explode, with the powerful kinetic energy, that was produced from Yuusuke's Powerful Mighty Kick. Now, it was time to get on to finding a newer reaitsu. This, seemed quite familiar too, could it be...Sho? the second leader, and husband of Shizuru. that she had mentioned to him, at the meetings she had brought him too. he had always seen Sho at those meetings, however he had never formally met the man. Strange, seeing as he had met nearly all of the hajiamatsujiyuu leaders and most of the members. he, was apart of the prized tentoukatana. the "0-Division" of the hajiamatsujiyuu, actually he was their leader, and he was proving day by day, that fighting for the smiles of others, was the best way of showing his leadership, his Confidence and will to never give up, was spreading through all of the members, each day. even infecting the leaders, Natsuki and John, to keep pushing as well. Shizuru definitely did not make the wrong decision in finding this boy. she always knew he had the potential, from the first day the two confronted each other.

Driving up, he began to sense Sho's Spiritual pressure, even more. It was great, quite powerful at that, but not scary or overpowering, even then, Yuusuke's Reaitsu and spiritual power, as Kuuga. was also quite powerful and mighty in it's own sense, hence the first form he was in right now. he had just now heard that Sound wave, emitting from the Hollow that Sho made due of. he then followed him off to the clock tower, driving even faster then before, something today, told him he had to meet the last leader, after all, he wanted to see what Shizuru meant with him. and maybe they had similar goals, to protect everyone, and fight for one's smile. Driving up to the clock tower point, he looked up to see him sitting, he then began to speak up from the direction he was in, at the bottom of the tower. "Hey! Sho, do you recognize me? it's Yuusuke" he said as he got off of the bike and began to have the armor around his body disappear as he smiled and then waved at the man, he stretched out a bit and then began to call on the gouram, to help him reach the tower. Gouram, made it's way quickly and Yuusuke held onto it's leg and made it's way on top landing down by Sho. after that, the Stag beetle like robotic Beetle, flied down and attached it's armor onto the Beat-chaser, after that, Yuusuke looked back at Sho. "So, this is actually the first time i have met you face to face" he said, as he smiled at the man. "My name is Yuusuke onodera, if You didn't know, since we never really have truly met each other face to face..." he then sat down by Sho, and waited for his reply. Maybe, he'd get to know him better as the day went by.

~Yuusuke/Kuuga~

Yuusuke smiled, he was glad that Sho was such the admirable leader. he admired that in leaders, someone who didn't care about just a few specific people, but a leader who cared about everyone. That, was both respectful and something honorable. Yuusuke often wondered and remembered how he even got into joining the group of the hajiamautsujiyuu. From the memories, Natsuki had found him, when he was becoming the free lancing hero, and having his name heard all over Karakura. A Brave man, who ventured out against the hollows out side of the field of karakura. however, his destructive, yet divine powers had often caused him to also be ridiculed by Karakura. Despite this fact, he still fought bravely every single time for those people, and eventually the people that ridiculed him for his accidents and destructive energy, came to love him as well. as natsuki once stated, Yuusuke was a man who protected the smiles of others, no matter what. the simple act was more then enough of a thank you. "he's a weird one..." that's what she noted him as, but she knew that he'd be a great piece in their already growing and powerful organization. She, was amazed by a talented warrior, who actually cared about the people he saved. Natsuki, may have been a strict woman but when it came to Yuusuke, she always cut an eye, for him. This, boy was truly a young man who fought for his ideals, no matter the cause.


Yuusuke looked back to Sho, He chuckled, as the second leader told him about his thoughts on their honorable leader, Shizuru sending them here. "Eh? high level?" he smiled and chuckled a bit. the surprising thing about this modest man, was that he thought he was just as normal as the humans on earth; "i don't think i'm all that high level, i'm surprised she sent you here on this mission..." he then nodded to his last thoughts on this mix-up. "Maybe, it was fate...or maybe it was shizuru, She has been known to have a pranking side to her self, but i do admit...Sho you are a lucky man to have her" Yuusuke said as patted his knees as he sat by the Vizard. "i'm just glad to be fighting along side all of you, i hope that one day the goal of a perfect peace is reached" he said, giving one of his trade mark smiles, then following it up with his main thumbs up approval. Throughout the ancient Rome Era, the thumbs up was a signal to convey that everything was alright. Yuusuke learned this as a kid through reading on the books, and couldn't stop doing it growing up, but every time he did this, the people around him could be assured that everything would be alright, and that they wouldn't have to worry.

Yuusuke's one creed in life was to simply, to always assure everyone that things would be alright. he, was that man who wasn't raised on morals of justice, but instead followed something he believed in, to the utmost. So, What was their to do now? he wondered, as he sat down with the male, he wanted to see what would be their actions now, considering Shizuru sent them on the same mission. Maybe, there was something else to do in this day, Shizuru was never good at giving full details, but Yuusuke wasn't complaining he respected the woman like a aunt, in most respects. So, while they talked, Yuusuke got up, as the clock hit, 10:00. So, what was their to do now? he seen Sho talking to him. "Last one down buys pizza" Free Pizza! Yuusuke loved food, and wasn't one to turn down any meal, So, as Sho motioned himself backwards and fell over, Yuusuke quickly took nod, and with that he flexed his arms up, this seemed like a time to use the power of the Arcle, and ascend into the powerful warrior, Kuuga. He moved his right arm forward, then his left arm up to his waist a bit he then swung that arm down to the side of the Arcle, as the sound of the noise signaled transformation. "Henshin!" with that, he jumped down with Sho, he appeared in blue color, now or at least his armor changed, he was now in the Dragon Form. a quick and agile form that allowed for speed, at the loss of strength. which he held in his red armored mighty form.

He, wasn't going to lose this challenge, so as the blue warrior jumped down, it was a pretty high jump as he landed down, meters after the Sound warrior, his jumping was so great, that it had seemed as if nothing were dividing the two spots, he just jumped from. he looked up to see Sho. He, then stretched out, he didn't know if he had won, or anything. Since Sho probably had beat him. But, he was still happy to get to know his fellow Member and Leader. He waited, to see what would be the next action, and course to be taken.

~Yuusuke/Kuuga~

Yuusuke smiled, he wasn't upset, at all that his higher up defeated him in this race. That's the king of guy Yuusuke was, always being patient and having good sportsmanship in anything, he did. he was a very modest and honest fellow. There was not a single thing you couldn't trust about him, he was simply a nice guy. While, this may have annoyed some people. Yuusuke was not going to change being outgoing. He looked at Sho. as he came down. "Ah....Ah! Sorry, i didn't know if you had arrived yet, or sometime down before me..." he said as he was still in the blue armored form, of dragon form. he quickly powered down. Moving his plants up a bit, while stretching his arms out. "Well..if that's the case then, then i'l buy it" Yuusuke said it with a smile, as he looked at the beautiful scenery once again. Everything looked so peaceful and serene here. It seemed that this was probably one of the few places which hadn't been affected by war yet. It made him happy, too bad it couldn't be all around the world, But Yuusuke knew he just had to take things day by day. While they walked around a bit. he smelled the wonderful smell of pizza, hitting his nostrils. his nose was in a complete harmony that danced with the aroma of the pizza, perfectly. it had even caused his stomach to grumble a bit. "...Oh" he said as he held his stomach a bit, he then made a bit of an embarrassed blush. "it seems i didn't stock up on much food when we got here..." he said, as his stomach continued to grumble a bit more.

So, he smiled at Sho's offer, despite Yuusuke losing the race. "Alright...sounds fair enough..." he said with a smile. "i can eat a lot, but whatever you feel you want to buy me is also perfectly fine...." he said with a smile. "it'd be an honor either way" he said as he followed Sho. he also grabbed a apple, and gave some money to the store clerk. Taking a nice bite, he listened to SHo as he spoke about how this place made him feel at home. Yuusuke could understand perfectly. "I See...Well it's normal to feel that way... i guess, you're most likely feeling the nostalgia, from years past...Who knows maybe you did lvie here...the possibilities are endless." Yuusuke said, while continuing to chew on the delicious apple, it was something about Italy, he was enjoying so far. He finished the apple, and threw the core into a trash can and put his hands in his pocket, as his hair blew through the wind. "Yes, let's get going..." he said with a smile, as he followed Sho, to the location where they would be eating and enjoying some of Italy's finest food.

~Yuusuke/Kuuga~


Yuusuke Smiled, as they arrived into the pizza shop, following Sho, he took a deep sigh, as the fine smell of hot and freshly baked pizza, filled the air. the aroma was enough to send his hunger, skyrocketing. Italy, always was the best place to come, they always knew how to bring people in. Yuusuke couldn't help but compliment in reply to the sweet smell. "Sugoi! i never knew pizza, in Italy could smell so good!" he said, as he moved some of his shirt up and hopped around happily, the people smiled, at his compliment. He was really genuine and sweet, with his words. He knew sho brought him here for another reason, so he patiently waited for the reason, while the two awaited, the order that he had set in for them. Yuusuke looked out to the wonderful and serene out doors. It was really such an enjoyable scene unfolding in front of his eyes. Come to think of it, he had never been to Italy before. He was amazed at how much beauty one could admire, when coming here. Love, Romance, wonderful meals, it was something that wasn't seen very much in japan, at least not lately, to say the least. It had turned into somewhat of a hellish land, due to more hollows infesting it. Yuusuke would correct this some day, however. That was his goal, to protect everyone. No matter what the cost was, he was going to fight the smiles of others, ever since that day he got the power of the arcle, and kuuga's legendary knowledge, that was and has always been his one goal, to protect the smiles of others.


Yuusuke, was always doing his best to protect someone, or something. While he might have seemed like a mad man to some, he was perfectly normal to everyone. His ideal was to save the smiles of everyone, and protect the weak, when no one else would. It wasn't what made up his entire existence, but it's what he prided his life on. Being a hero, a dream to raise the spirits of others, and give them a shining hope. When he came into contact with the Arcle, he could've most likely chose selfish intentions, but instead, he chose something so beautiful. That's the exact reason why Shizuru had chosen him to join the ranks. He never once had selfish motives, he always prided himself on helping others, and believing in team work. Yuusuke smiled, as Sho prepared to ask him a question, as the pizza came over, from the waiter and onto their table, he smiled and rubbed his hands together, some of his Japanese customs were still obvious. "Itadikimasu!" he smiled, and began to take a slice of pizza, during the time sho asked his question, he was going to answer him, but his appetite was really becoming obvious, and harder to hold in. Especially when the cuisine smelled so delicate, and delicious. He, blew on the pizza slowly, and to not burn his tongue on contact. Though, he was use to worse conditions, during these days. Taking a bite, he chewed the pizza, thoroughly.


Yuusuke, looked at Sho curiously, when he asked the question. "Why did i get my power?" he set down his half eaten pizza, to really give him a detailed explanation. "Ah...My power..." he said, going into a bit of a daze, to remember all the times he fought as the heroic warrior Kuuga. "Well, i got my power..by accident.." he said as he nodded. "Originally, me and my father, and my brother, went on a excavation trip... we were only there to check on some things with our father, but suddenly were faced with a ferocious force, of monsters. i was scared, but i know i wanted to fight...despite not having any power in my grasp's..." he said as he put a hand to his chin. "But, that's when Kuuga came to me...' he said smiling back at Sho. "He came to me and asked me if i wanted to become a hero and protect" and then he finished off the story. "from that time on, i began to unlock more of the power, and gain more knowledge, speed, hand to hand combat, long ranged shooting, and massive defense..in the form of he mighty, dragon, Pegasus, and Titan forms..." he said, his prized thumbs up popping up once again. "I would also go on to rise beyond those forms, giving me more versatility and extra power, for the more harder adversaries." he said with a nod. continuing to eat his pizza, he waited for sho's reply.

~Yuusuke/Kuuga~

Yuusuke, didn't even get to enjoy his pizza, all of the way. He felt, a lingering, and ominous aura, approaching. he was enjoying, talking to Sho, like this. but there something, at the back of his mind, that just felt like something bad was going to happen, in the very few seconds. His premonition, to sense evil. Was sharp, and nearly seemed like a innate sense. Like a sixth sense, as well. He began to look towards, the direction, that the feeling was coming from, while listening to Sho's word's, and how both of them had the similar Ideal to protect the ones they loved, the most. That made him smile, however the next situation, would turn that wide smile, he was always known for. into, a serious expression. However, he couldn't act just yet. He had to be prepared, there was no time, to get this wrong. if his calculation was correct, there would be something, attacking within the next few minutes, if not, he wouldn't have anything to worry about. Yuusuke had to access both of these thoughts closely.

However, it seemed like his first premonition, was right. Just as Sho, was beginning the conversation, a force broke through the walls, of the pizza place. Yuusuke quickly took in the stench, of that horrible smell. and the stench of blood. Yuusuked jumped from his chair, as quickly as her heard, the words, of a distressed stranger. " ! ! ! " he quickly, put his arms up and began to transform, into his mighty form, and into the red warrior Kuuga. "i have to stop this, at once." he said, as he quickly seen Sho, getting into the action of things, and jumping forward. "Ah...Well if he's handling it, i should check around the area, to see if their is something behind this.." he jumped out of the wall. while seeing a wave of hollows trying to attack, he wasn't going to let them do as he pleased. he jumped out of the window and landed on the Gouram, the horse armored beetle, with a powerful type of metal source. and stags that were enough to cut through concrete, and steel respectfully. Yuusuke began to look around while Sho, was handling his own business. Yuusuke was looking through the fog, and used the gouram to float above it. he wasn't sure, about what was happening, but he was definitely sure, that they was definitely something far more, different then just a mere hollow attack, as he sensed other signals, from the areas. and could even hear a few more screams. he would definitely make the one causing this, pay.
