CHRONOBOUND: FRACTURES OF TOMMOROW

Aoi stares at the now broken Chrono-Watch. This Warlord version of himself, destroyed his only way of getting out of this timeline…

"You think I DIDN'T know about you the minute you came here..let me tell you this..Chrono-Watches can tell if another variant is in my timeline, you just haven't unlocked that feature yet, and now…you never will." The Warlord says with a sick grin as he twirls his War-Hammer in his hands.

Aoi grabs the leftover pieces of his Chrono-Watch, scrambling to find which piece is which. "What did you do?!" Aoi screams.

"I've officially made this your death bed, so even if you wanted to, you can't escape~" The Warlord says.

At this point, Aoi has no way of escaping, there's only one more option. "If that's how things are going to go down…" Aoi stands up, analyzing different routes, then, he makes a run for it, running the opposite direction to the path that leads out of the arena, as soon as Aoi starts running, turns out, around 25% of the audience were actually undercover workers for this Warlord Version of Aoi, they're extremely skilled, around half of them are undefeated assassins. The workers jump down from the crowd and land onto the arena, where they begin to chase Aoi along with his Warlord Variant towards the exit of the Colosseum. Kira Yuunagi, who has been watching the interaction the entire time, takes the stairs to the exit of the Colosseum.

"I'll always catch up to you." The Warlord Variant says as he swings his hammer Aoi's direction.

Aoi dodges the hit narrowly as the hammer hits the wall next to him, leaving noticeable cracks in the wall. "I'm not here to fight you..!" Aoi says as he finally reaches the exit, but one of the Warlord's assassins blitzes past Aoi with unmatched speed and blocks the exit.

"No where to go, honestly you're easier to trap then most of my victi-" before the assassin can finish his sentence, Kira Yuunagi sneaks up behind him and cuts his back with one of her pocket knifes.

"Run! I'm skilled enough to take on his assassins!" Kira yells as she begins to take down an additional 2 more assassins.

Aoi keeps running, farther and farther away, until the only one that's still chasing him..is none other than his own variant. Warlord Aoi continues to chase him with his hammer in hand as he quickly closes the distance. That is until Aoi masks himself in the crowd of the kingdom's population. But the Warlord didn't care, he moved through various people with surprising strength and he finds Aoi with ease, he raised his hammer to prepare for an attack, right as the Hammer made contact with Aoi's skull, multiple portals open up behind Aoi, men with vests and guns with special types of bullets in them, it's the TRA that Prime Aoi was talking about!

One of the TRA pointed to Warlord Aoi. "Violation of the New Law Of Time." He says, and all of the other agents point their weapons at Warlord Aoi. "Any Aoi variant that breaks a Chrono-Watch must face punishment."

Warlord Aoi scoffs "Time Law? That's a thing? No matter, I can kill each and every one of you agents-" The Warlord says, preparing for battle

Meanwhile, Aoi, still clutching every broken piece of his Chrono-Watch, looks at the pieces, and then he sees the core of the Chrono-Watch, a blue gem. That mostly holds power of its own caliber. When Aoi touched the gem, the gem fused with him.

"What the?! Get off me!" Aoi yells, for a second, his veins glow blue.

The TRA agents were too busy attempting to restrain Warlord Aoi to care about what was happening behind them. Aoi, now fused with the core of his Chrono-Watch, can see something not every Aoi variant can see…Aoi looks at the Warlord and looks inside him, and sees his 8 year old self. Back then, Aoi was drowning in loneliness since he had no friends and never got a chance to meet new people. Aoi decided to work on inventions to hide his loneliness, while this Warlord version of Aoi, chased power for recognition. Aoi can see this Fractured vision clear as day whenever he wishes.

Before long, TRA managed to suppress Warlord Aoi. Using a special type of bullet that hurts it's opponents on a cellular level. The TRA can use this however they want, to either paralyze a opponent for long periods of time, or erasing someone completely from reality with enough shots.

"Target suppressed. Move him to the Dimensional Prison." One of the agents say, opening up a portal to an unknown location.

Another agent looks at Aoi, before tossing him another Chrono-Watch. "Don't lose that one, boss said to give that to you, he must think you're not completely useless." The agent says before leaving through a portal.

All the TRA before long, left along with Warlord Aoi without a trace. Leaving Aoi with more questions. "What in the world is a "Dimensional" prison.. more importantly, what did I just see in my other variant..?" Aoi questions himself, but he has little to think about before a huge explosion happens in the distance.."Crap! I completely forgot about Kira!" Aoi begins sprinting back to the Colosseum, a lot on his mind but not afraid to save Kira.

Before the explosion was initiated.

Kira just got done with dealing with mostly the whole army full of the Warlord's assassins. Just one more to go, but this one assassin, secretly had a ticking time-bomb strapped under his jacket.

Kira and the assassin fought. Kira ducked sideways, narrowly dodging the first slash. She lashed out with her pocket knife, aiming for the assassin's side, but the assassin twisted, deflecting the attack with the flat of one dagger. Sparks flew as metal scraped metal.The assassin pressed forward, both blades dancing in tight arcs. A feint to the right — then a real strike left. Kira felt the sting as a dagger tip grazed their shoulder. She hissed in pain, stepping back, eyes locked on the assassin's relentless advance. But that's when Kira took the assassin's bloodlust into her weapon to defeat him, Kira dodges two slashes from both of the assassin's daggers, before finally winning with a stab into the assassin's chest.

"Finally.." Kira says, breathing heavily, blood dripping from her face from facing an entire army of assassins.

Kira thought it was over, until she felts something on the assassin's chest, Kira lifts up the assassin's shirt to find a bomb, and before she can run, the bomb's timer reached zero and her and the assassin both blew up in smoke.
