CHRONOBOUND: FRACTURES OF TOMMOROW

Meanwhile, Prime Aoi is sitting in his chair inside of his timeline, admiring the power he wields. "Chrono. Give me a map of all the variations of Aoi Takamura." He says,a grin that promised nothing good appearing on his face.

"Timeline Map Initializing:" A robotic voice coming from the Chrono-Watch. Must be another addition to the Chrono-Watch from Prime Aoi.

A huge holographic map that covers the room is formed in front of Prime Aoi, displaying the locations of all of the variations of Aoi Takamura.

"Zoom in on Aoi Takamura #214" Prime Aoi says with a expression of distain, to him, he was the original Aoi Takamura.

"Aoi Takamura #214 is located in timeline 10045. Incorrect timeline detected. Would you like to send #214 to his original timeline?" The Chrono-Watch says as it zooms in towards Aoi Takamura.

"No….let him linger, I already know what's going to happen next to him." Prime Aoi says, turning off the hologram before standing up from his chair. He takes a look at the seemingly "perfect" and "Normal" timeline he has sustained.

Meanwhile. Aoi Takamura is faced with a problem, he knows he can keep reversing time to avoid death, but how does he avoid his situation entirely. The same War Axe comes swinging towards him once again, threatening to slice him in half. Just then, The Chrono-Watch slows down time completely for Aoi, responding to his thoughts and current situation.

"Woah.." Aoi looks around, everyone's movements are slowed down significantly, even the crowds cheers.."So if I can't really die while wearing the Chrono-Watch..then with enough times..I can definitely beat this guy..it's been awhile since I've actually fought someone though..but it's worth a try." Time returns back to normal as The War-Axe is swinging dangerously close to Aoi's torso, but Aoi uses his dirty coat as a decoy.

"What the?!" The man says, taking back his axe to see no one is on the other end. Just a dirty coat. "He's here somewhere!" Before the man can react, Aoi is already at his side.

Aoi lands a punch with all of his strength on the man's jaw.

The man spits out blood "Smart. But I'll eventually just kill you anyway..add you to my collection of bones and tubs of blood-" Before the man can finish his sentence, Aoi already had punched him again, this time it was aimed at his ribs. At this point, the man already had enough and just decided to fight, now words said. Swinging his axe towards Aoi's head before slicing it clean off.

But Aoi already predicted this. His Chrono-Watch already rewinding time just before he can full die. He dodges the same attack that was supposed to kill him, and predicts his next attack towards his head and dodges that too.

"How are you moving before I can swing?! Is this some sort of magic?!?" The man says, this time, he kicks Aoi straight in the chest, with his strength, Aoi gets sent flying off of his feet.

Aoi coughs violently, he's completely vulnerable, and all it too is for the man to ready his axe and strike down for Aoi to die again

Aoi kept nearly dying over and over, but thanks to the he kept learning the man's attack patterns, and soon enough, the man. Is now the one that's on his knees now.

"How…How did you predict every single one of my attacks?!" The man says, trying to regain his footing but failing miserably.

"Because. I've seen every one of your attacks before you were going to make them." Aoi says before punching the man while he's down.

Aoi begins punching the man over and over again until he's knocked out, then Aoi drags him to the end of the arena, and throws him into the water.

"That was…tedious." Aoi says to himself, watching the man descend into the water.

After 30 more minutes of Aoi hiding from other battles, the free for all is finally coming to a end..and it's forced to a one on one.

A knight of some sort, emerges and faces Aoi "You…a coward. Is that all that's left?" The knight says, his expression hidden under his helmet. "Well I tell you, that I've fought through and through..for nearly a hour, and you, made it through by scurrying away for most of the fight, disgrace I tell you, all of you!" The knight says, turning back to face the crowd before looking back at Aoi has he drags his sword along the concrete.

The crowd boos Aoi, but he ignores the constant hate. "I fought. I really did-" Aoi says, he takes off the Chrono-Watch and stashes it in his pocket. "I'll show you."

The Knight scoffs "Is that some way of showing me you'll fight? If it is, I'm not afraid of someone like you. The very reason I came here, relies on me killing you right here and now, do you know the prize you get if you win?! So much money that it can support my kingdom for an entire year!"

Aoi and The Knight rush towards each other, The Knight drops his sword, a way to taunt Aoi's strength. The Knight hits Aoi with a uppercut to the jaw, and then a elbow to the chest, sending Aoi back a little, when he doesn't have the Chrono-Watch on his wrist, he can't use it's powers, which means if he dies here, he dies for good. Aoi uses this as motivation to win, taming the knight with his body weight, knocking the knight onto the ground. Aoi then starts kicking him while he's down. Inching the knight closer and closer to the edge of the area, but the knight kicks Aoi, causing him to fall. The knight uses this as a opportunity to strike. he starts reining down punches on Aoi's face before attempting to choke him out, Aoi finally snaps. and up puts the knight with all of his pent up strength and anger, the knight is knocked back onto his back.

"That's good..that strength..this was a test." The knight says, before Aoi can truly react, a War Hammer comes flying down on the knight, killing him on impact.

"What?? WHAT?!" Aoi gasps, he instinctively reaches for the Chrono-Watch in his pocket, but it slips through his hands, suddenly from the crowd, a man can be seen jumping from the crowd and onto the arena. He grabs his Hammer and walks pasts Aoi, who's in pure shock.

This mysterious man stands before Aoi, and steps on his Chrono-Watch, breaking it instantly. "Sorry, did I break your toy? It's okay, you clearly weren't worthy of it anyway." The man says in distain, Aoi gets a good look at him and realizes, THIS is another variation of himself. The crowd screams in excitement, screaming names like "King Of Time".

"You're…me..?" Aoi mutters, completely in shock, this variation , not only looks older than Aoi, he's taller, and bulkier…
