Chapter 29 - Clash of Rivals Birth of Brotherhood

INT. Asgaror – Anthony's House – Bedroom – Morning

The scene opens up in Anthony's house, the room is dark the sun light shines through the curtains, Anthony and Vanessa lay on the bed together in an entangled cuddling position, her chest pressed against his chest, his arms wrapped securely around her, Anthony is shirtless and Vanessa is completely naked except wearing a panty

Suddenly the alarm rings and they both slowly wake up

Vanessa Fishman: Hmm… I love you Anthony

Anthony tightens his arms around her, pulling her super close leaving no space between them

Anthony Fishman: (Kissing her forehead) I love you too

The alarm rings again, Vanessa wakes up pulling herself away from his body, she stretches getting up, the blanket slides down revealing her skin, she smirks looking at Anthony who is asleep

She grabs his white shirt which is oversized only to her and wears it in, the shirt barely covers her thighs, she goes to the washroom

Cut to

INT. Asgaror – Anthony's House – Kitchen – Morning

She comes out of the washroom to the kitchen to make a coffee

Vanessa Fishman: Hey Anthony where is the coffee machine

Anthony Fishman: (Starting to wake up) Its on the right side

As Vanessa is making the coffee, Anthony walks towards her and warps his arms around her waist and hugs her from behind

Anthony Fishman: (Kissing her neck) Good morning troublemaker

Anthony now starts kissing her cheeks and her neck

Vanessa Fishman: You're finally awake?

Anthony Fishman: Barely

He grabs her a little tighter and Vanessa smiles

Anthony Fishman: So… how was the date last night? And more importantly… how was the part after the date?

Vanessa Fishman: Let me finish making coffee first

After she finishes making the coffee, Anthony holds her waist turns her around, lifts her up and places her on the kitchen counter, Anthony steps closer between her legs trapping her there

Anthony holds her waist from his left hand and from his right hand he holds her neck as he leans in kissing her deeply

Vanessa Fishman: (Smirking) You really can't wait, can you?

Anthony Fishman: Not when you talk about how much you liked it last night

Vanessa Fishman: (She wraps her arms around his neck) Oh I didn't just like it, I loved it and I kinda… want it again, right now!

Anthony tightens his grip on her waist, ready to lean in for another kiss but suddenly… they hear a door knock

Anthony Fishman: (Annoyed) You have got to be kidding me

Vanessa Fishman: (Laughing) Well looks like the world isn't gonna wait for us after all

Anthony sighs and walks over to the door

Anthony Fishman: Whoever this is, they better have a damn good reason for interrupting my morning

Vanessa laughs hopping off the counter sipping her coffee as she watches him go, Anthony opens the door

INT. Asgaror – Anthony's House – Front Door – Morning

Brook and Ethan are standing outside his house waiting for him

Brook Grim Lock: He said 7 sharp, its already 7:15

Ethan Arakawa: I think that motherfucker is still sleeping

Brook Grim Lock: Wait… brother? You feel that aura?

Ethan Arakawa: Oh noo!

Brook Grim Lock: Yep, its Vanessa's aura

Ethan Arakawa: Why is it coming from Anthony's house?

Brook Grim Lock: No! brother you thinking what I'm thinking

Ethan Arakawa: Yep

Brook Grim Lock: Dude, they just met three days ago, and they already slept together? I mean, kissing is one thing, but having sex with in three days? Crazy

Ethan Arakawa: I know right? My man moves faster than lighting

The door opens in front of them

Anthony Fishman: The hell do you 2 want this early?

Ethan Arakawa: Did you forget asshole?

Anthony Fishman: What?

Anthony takes a minute to think

Anthony Fishman: Oh… fuck, now I remember, give me 2 minutes, I need to grab my stuff, meanwhile why don't you 2 talk to my girlfriend and get to know each other

Before Ethan and Brook can react, Vanessa steps up behind Anthony, wearing his shirt like she owns the place and Anthony walks back to his house

Vanessa Fishman: Well, well, well… look what we have here, 2 losers standing on my boyfriend's doorstep

Ethan Arakawa: Oh great, here we go

Brook Grim Lock: We knew this was a bad idea

Vanessa Fishman: Wow, Ethan and Brook, still hanging out together? Huh? Cute, its like watching two puppies who never grew up

Brook Grim Lock: And it's like watching a school bully who never matured

Ethan Arakawa: Didn't you used to call us 'weak little insects' back in the day? What happened to all that tough talk?

Vanessa Fishman: I still think your weak little insects, but now? You're my boyfriend's weak little insects

Brook Grim Lock: Yeah, yeah, laugh it up, how's it feels knowing you went from bullying us to dating our best friend?

Vanessa Fishman: Oh, it's great, but what's even better is knowing that I'm way out of your league

Brook Grim Lock: I don't even like you, why would I care?

Vanessa Fishman: Then why do I sense that deep, deep down, it kills you to see me with Anthony?

Brook Grim Lock: Yeah, I hate when you are with my brother because I think he can pull someone better than you

Vanessa Fishman: What?

Brook Grim Lock: You heard me

Vanessa Fishman: (Sighs) You talk too much Brook, keeping on talking and I will use soul manipulation

Ethan Arakawa: (Whispering) Calm down Brook, she will use soul manipulation

Anthony comes to the front door

Anthony Fishman: Alright, I'm ready

EXT. Asgaror – Golf Club – Morning

By the way there is no college today, Anthony and Ethan are playing golf while Brook is taking rest

Anthony Fishman: Man, this is boring, we could be fighting, training, or literally doing anything else, and here we are… staring at the damn sky like some depressed poets

Ethan Arakawa: For once, I agree, but I guess even warriors need a break

Brook is lying on the ground

Brook Grim Lock: Yeah… a break

He looks at the bright sky

Flash Back

EXT. Asgaror – Night

40 years ago

Heavy rain pours down, he is holding his own sword to his neck ready to kill himself, Brook is trying to kill himself because he isn't strong enough to stop his father from abusing mother everyday

Brook Grim Lock: (Talking to himself) I wasn't strong enough… I couldn't stop my father, what's the point of living if I couldn't even protect my own mother?

His hands are shaking, as he about to kill himself someone grabs his wrist, Brook looks back only to see his 2 best friends standing

Anthony Fishman: (Angry) The hell do you think you're doing Brook?!

Brook Grim Lock: I can't live like this Anthony, I lost, I wasn't strong enough, my mother is getting abused because I…

Ethan Arakawa: (Grabs Brook's shirt collar in anger) Because you what?! Because you were just a kid fighting against a monster?! That wasn't your fault Brook!

Brook Grim Lock: (Tears rolling down) I should've been stronger…

Ethan Arakawa: (Screaming) Then get stronger! But don't you dare run away like this!

There are tears in both Ethan and Anthony's eyes

Ethan Arakawa: If you do this, Brook, you take away every damn chance you have to make things right, you take away every fight you could have won, every moment you could have changed, and you take us with you, you think we'd just move on? That we'd just forget?

Anthony Fishman: If you kill yourself, Brook, I swear to God… I will never forgive you

Brook drops the sword

The End Of Flash Back

Ethan Arakawa: (Looking at Brook) You ok there brother?

Brook gets up and walks towards his friends… nah brothers

Brook Grim Lock: (Puts his both hands on Ethan's and Anthony's shoulder) You guys remember… 40 years ago when I was trying to kill myself… you two saved my life that night, if it weren't for you 2, I wouldn't be standing here

Anthony Fishman: Yeah

Ethan Arakawa: What about it

Brook Grim Lock: I swear on my soul, on everything I am, I'll do the same for you, no matter what

Anthony Fishman: I would do the same for you

Ethan Arakawa: Yeah… why are acting weird today?

Brook Grim Lock: No reason… I'm just happy because I got you 2 in my life

Anthony and Ethan are confused

Brook Grim Lock: You guys saved my life… so I'll do anything for you 2, as far as sacrificing my own life for you both to live a happy life, I'll do it without any hesitation

Ethan Arakawa: Brook, if you try to sacrifice yourself for us, we won't be just sitting on beach and looking at you alright, we'll do the same for you without any hesitation

Anthony Fishman: Stop acting like a dick head Brook, I would never let you sacrifice your life for me

After a while they start playing golf

Anthony Fishman: Alright Brook, tell me why are we playing golf?

Ethan Arakawa: Yeah… its so boring!

Brook Grim Lock: We are playing this because its fun

Ethan Arakawa: This is not fun at all, I rather train then do this

Anthony Fishman: Yeah training is more fun

Brook steps up to the tee, adjusting his golf stick, he takes a deep breath and swings with perfect form, the ball flying high in the blue sky before dropping directly into the hole – hole in one

Anthony Fishman: No fucking way

Ethan Arakawa: Damn… that was clean

Brook Grim Lock: Boys… that's what we call pure skill

Ethan Arakawa: I didn't know you were that good in golf Brook

Anthony Fishman: (In his thought) This motherfucker is god of wind… I can never trust him that he made that shot without using his wind powers

Brook Grim Lock: Thank you Ethan… and Anthony why are looking at me like that

Anthony Fishman: No reason, you know what you did

Brook Grim Lock: What did I do?

Anthony Fishman: Nothing, you know that not me

Brook is confused

Meanwhile while this is happening near them Kageyama, Nakamura and Lucifer are also playing golf

Nakamura's ex-girlfriend has come to meet him to give him his things like gifts and everything he give her, she is giving it back, also the reason they both broke up was because she cheated on him

Amelia: Thank you for everything Nakamura

Nakamura says something while taking his things

Nakamura: You know… I used to think love was unbreakable, that if two people truly cared, if they meant it when they said forever, then nothing, no mistake, no distance, no pain could tear them apart

He chuckles

Nakamura: But love isn't just about feelings, is it? It's about choices, and you… you made yours

Nakamura looks at her eyes in search for something

Nakamura: I keep wondering… was there a moment? A second where you thought about me before you did it? Before you let someone else touch you, kiss you, before you let our love become something less?

She doesn't respond

Nakamura: I loved you Amelia, I really did, and maybe that's the worst part… because even now, after all of this, some broken pathetic part of me still does

She doesn't say a word and walks away, Nakamura watches her leave

Nakamura: (In his thoughts) I won't hate you, I won't curse your name or pretend what we had didn't matter, but I also won't stay here, waiting for a ghost to love me back… Amelia, all those men… they can love you in their own ways, maybe even give you everything you ask for… but they can never love you like I do

Anthony gets a call from Vanessa

Anthony Fishman: Hey

Vanessa Fishman: Hey

Ethan Arakawa: (Whispering) Put it on speaker

Brook Grim Lock: Yeah

Anthony puts it on speaker

Vanessa Fishman: By the way last night… hands and fingers were fine, but placing your tongue between my legs was something else daddy

Ethan and Brook look at each other

Ethan Arakawa: I want to die Brook!

Brook Grim Lock: Take me with you brother

Anthony turns off the speaker

Anthony Fishman: Hmm, hmm

Vanessa Fishman: Are you free today?

Anthony Fishman: Yeah why?

Vanessa Fishman: Can we go on a date?

Anthony Fishman: Why cause you could beat me

Vanessa Fishman: Noo! Not a fighting date, I mean… can't we go on a normal date

Anthony Fishman: Why do you want to go on a date with me?

Vanessa Fishman: Because

Anthony Fishman: Because… go on

Vanessa Fishman: Because I want to spend more time with you 

Anthony Fishman: Fine, text me where we are going ok

Vanessa Fishman: Ok I'll be there at 8 o clock

Anthony Fishman: Fine with me

Vanessa Fishman: Ok bye… I love you

Anthony looks at Brook and Ethan to make sure they don't hear this

Anthony Fishman: (Whispering) I love you too

The call ends

Ethan Arakawa: This motherfucker is whispering like we can't hear him

Brook Grim Lock: Yeah

At this time Ethan notices Kageyama from far way

Ethan Arakawa: Wait, is that Kageyama over there

Anthony Fishman: Yeah, it is him

Brook Grim Lock: (Screaming) Yo… Kageyama…

Anthony Fishman: What the fuck, why are you calling him

Ethan Arakawa: Do you know him

Brook Grim Lock: Yeah I just meet him yesterday

Anthony Fishman: Shut up and answer my question first

Brook Grim Lock: Well you 2 were saying this is boring right

Ethan Arakawa: Yeah

Brook Grim Lock: I'm calling him to spice things up

Anthony Fishman: Like?

Brook Grim Lock: We'll play against each other, its gonna be fun

Kageyama, Nakamura and Lucifer teleport towards him

Brook Grim Lock: Yo Kageyama, would you like to play golf us

Kageyama Enma: Sure, why not

Ethan, Brook, and Anthony stand on one side, Kageyama, Nakamura, and Lucifer on the other

Anthony steps up first, he places the ball on the tee and swings with full force

The ball explodes into the sky, leaving a shockwave behind

Lucifer: Uhh... I think you sent that straight into space out of Asgaror

Brook Grim Lock: Brother, we are playing golf, not launching golfs into outer space

Anthony Fishman: Power is power

Kageyama Enma: A true warrior uses precision, not brute force

Kageyama steps up, and swings perfect

Lucifer: (Whispering) Ora no Hatsugen

As the ball was in the air, a portal opens up and a worm with a tiger face comes out and eats the ball

Kageyama Enma: (Shocked) What?

He looks at Lucifer

Kageyama Enma: It was you wasn't it

Lucifer: What… I didn't do anything

Kageyama Enma: Its one of your weird pets

Ethan and Brook are currently leading by 2 strokes, Kageyama and Nakamura are taking this way too seriously, while Lucifer is just trolling

Nakamura: The wind speed is at 12 km/h… angle of trajectory should be 37 degrees... my divine instincts say to hit the ball at exactly…

Brook Grim Lock: (Interrupting) Bro, just hit the damn ball

Nakamura swings, his shot is so accurate and precise that the ball literally dodges a bird, and lands perfectly on the green grass

Ethan Arakawa: Alright, that was kinda cool

Brook steps up next, he doesn't even look at the ball and swings… the ball somehow lands next to Nakamura's ball

Nakamura: How?

Brook Grim Lock: That's the thing about being a natural talent, sometimes I don't even try

Lucifer stands on the tee, not even holding a golf stick

He snaps his finger and the ball teleports directly into the hole, hole-in-one

Anthony Fishman: That's not fair

Lucifer: Is it? The rule book doesn't say I can't manipulate reality

Anthony Fishman: (In his thoughts) All these motherfuckers are using some tricks to win, Brook is using his wind powers, Lucifer using his demon powers, and Nakamura is a interdimensional being so he has telekinesis powers so he is using that to move the ball

Both teams are tied, it all comes down to Ethan vs. Kageyama for the final shot

Kageyama takes his time, and swings but he misses

Then Ethan comes and hits the ball and it bounces off a rock… hits a tree… rebounds off Anthony's forehead… and somehow… somehow it rolls directly into the hole – hole in one

They all have fun playing golf and there is a quick time skip, of all 6 of them playing bowling, archery, basketball and even go karting

Cut to

EXT. Asgaror – Fishing Pond – Afternoon

After all that playing they are still fighting to win

Anthony, Ethan, and Kageyama sit on one side of the pond, their fishing rods barely moving. Anthony is visibly irritated, Ethan looks half-asleep, and Kageyama leans against a rock, arms crossed, looking like he'd rather be anywhere else

On the opposite side, Brook, Lucifer, and Nakamura are taking this way too seriously, Lucifer sips wine, Nakamura calculates the best fishing angles, and Brook is just excited

Anthony Fishman: This is boring as hell, why the fuck are we even fishing?

Ethan Arakawa: Yeah… I thought this was supposed to be fun

Kageyama Enma: I agree… I have socially interacted too much today

Brook Grim Lock: (Determined) The key to fishing is feeling the energy of the water… becoming one with the fish

Lucifer: (Sipping wine) Or, you could just lose to us

Nakamura: I will win Brook

Brook Grim Lock: In your dreams

Suddenly Brook's fishing rod starts shaking

Brook Grim Lock: Oh shit, I think I got something!

Lucifer: Watch it, it's gonna be a tiny ass fish

This fish is pulling Brook towards the water

Brook Grim Lock: Wait, this thing is strong as hell

Nakamura: You need help

Brook Grim Lock: Do I look like I'm winning?! Pull me back!

Anthony, Ethan and Kageyama say this at the same time

Anthony Fishman: Here we go again

Ethan Arakawa: Here we go again

Kageyama Enma: Here we go again

All six of them grab onto Brook's waist, tug of war against the unknown fish

Anthony Fishman: I have fought gods, but this… this is something else

Ethan Arakawa: Brother, what kind of pre workout does this fish take?

Kageyama Enma: Why is this fish stronger than half our enemies?

Lucifer: I swear if this is just a really big tuna, I'm going to lose it

As all of the boys pull in one last time with full force, the fish comes out and everyone is shocked looking at the fish

Brook Grim Lock: So, do we throw it back?

Anthony Fishman: Brook, you just fished up a literal goddamn sea dragon

Kageyama is tired as hell

Kageyama Enma: I quit

After a while that big fish is dead and everyone laughs looking at each other

Cut to

INT. Asgaror – Café – Night

There is a jazz music is playing in the background, a bunch of couples are laughing, holding hands and lost in their own little worlds

At the corner table Vanessa is sitting all alone waiting for Anthony

The time is 9:30 PM and he was supposed to be here at 8

She sighs and looks at her watch

A waiter walks over to her

Waiter: Miss, would you like to order something while you wait? Or… maybe call it a night?

Vanessa Fishman: (Confident) He'll come

Waiter: I see this every day, miss, some men promise the moon, but leave their women waiting under an empty sky

Vanessa Fishman: That's cute, but you don't know him

Waiter: Oh? And what makes you so sure?

Vanessa Fishman: Because he loves me

The waiter leaves

She doesn't look frustrated, she doesn't look upset, she just looks patient

And then… the door opens and someone enters

Vanessa looks at that person

Anthony walks in dressed in black, his hair slightly messy

Vanessa smiles looking at him, not out of forgiveness, not out of relief, but because she knew he would come

Vanessa Fishman: Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting?

Anthony Fishman: Long enough to make you question my existence, but not long enough to make you stop wanting me

Vanessa Fishman: Shut up and answer my question

Anthony Fishman: I'm sorry, I'm genuinely sorry

After a while they both start drinking wine

Anthony Fishman: You look… dangerous tonight

Vanessa Fishman: Do I?

Anthony Fishman: Yeah, like you could ruin a man with just a look

Vanessa Fishman: Only to the ones who deserve it

Anthony laughs, but he keeps on looking at her

Vanessa Fishman: What are you looking at?

Anthony Fishman: You

Vanessa Fishman: Why

Anthony Fishman: Because I love you

Vanessa blushes

Anthony Fishman: Hey… can I ask you a question

Vanessa Fishman: Only if you answer mine first

Anthony Fishman: Alright go on

Vanessa Fishman: Why do you wear glasses

Anthony Fishman: That's because of grandmaster Isamu

Vanessa Fishman: Explain how?

Anthony Fishman: Grandmaster Isamu is like a father figure to me, and since he wears glasses so do I

Vanessa Fishman: Interesting

Anthony Fishman: Now my turn, when did you fall in love with me

Vanessa Fishman: 70 years ago when the war happened, demons were attacking everyone and do you remember when you saved a bunch of people from a demon

Anthony Fishman: Yeah

Vanessa Fishman: I was there, I was one of them, at that time I didn't know how to use my powers, so I was there scared… but then you popped up, out of no where and saved all of us… and that's the moment I fell in love with you Fishman… I even wear these glasses because you wear them

Anthony Fishman: (Shocked) Wow… I didn't know that

Both of them are having a really good time

Cut to

EXT. Asgaror – Night

They both get out the café and start walking together holding each other hands

Vanessa Fishman: So… why don't we go over to your house and have sex

Anthony Fishman: Fine with me, but before me have sex let's do something first

Cut to

Anthony has taken Vanessa over to Ethan and Brook to make her apologize

Anthony and Vanessa are standing in front of Ethan and Brook their arms folded, watching her like they're waiting for a confession

Vanessa stays silent

Anthony Fishman: Vanessa

She rolls her eyes

Vanessa Fishman: This is ridiculous

Vanessa hates this, she hates that she is here, but most of all she hates that Anthony is making her do this

Vanessa Fishman: Fine, I bullied you in school

Brook Grim Lock: Wow, that sounded so heartfelt

Anthony Fishman: Try again

Vanessa Fishman: Ethan, Brook… I'm sorry for bullying you in school, happy?

Ethan Arakawa: Hmm, I don't know, was that real Brook?

Brook Grim Lock: I felt zero sincerity, maybe she should get on her knees and beg

Vanessa Fishman: I will kill you in your sleep little boy

Brook backs away scared and Anthony places his hands on Vanessa's shoulder

Anthony Fishman: Vanessa, I'm not gonna have sex with you if you don't apologize

Vanessa Fishman: Ok fine, I'm sorry, really, what I did back then, it was messed up

Ethan Arakawa: Wait, are you apologizing to us because you wanna have sex with Anthony?

Vanessa Fishman: Yeah pretty much

Ethan Arakawa: Then I won't accept your apology

Brook Grim Lock: Yeah

Vanessa gets really angry and holds both Brook's and Ethan's shirts collar

Vanessa Fishman: (Anger) Listen up you dickheads, I am really horny right now and I really really wanna have sex with Anthony… if you both don't accept my apology right now, I'm going to use soul manipulation on both of you and erase your soul out of existence, is that clear

Brook and Ethan are scared

Ethan Arakawa: Ok, ok, ok, ok

Brook Grim Lock: Fine, we accept your apology

Ethan Arakawa: Yeah

Anthony Fishman: That didn't go as I planned it to go

Vanessa Fishman: Can we go now and have sex

Anthony Fishman: Sure

Brook and Ethan are traumatized once more
