Years after the events of Kaizen and Akami, the world had gone into the GREAT SHIFT, a God awakening throughout the universe, her strength quaking multiple planets with a move of a finger. She was the almighty. She was below and beyond.
They called her Celestia, ruler of universes and creator of all.
People praised her for hundreds of decades, bowing down, hoping to be blessed by her abilities.
At Sakurami High School, a 15 year old boy sat in his class, sighing while sitting next to his best friend.
"This class is so boring.." The boy looked.
The other boy looked. "Because you're good at it..?"
"Yeah. That's why." The boy looked at him, then rolled his eyes.
"Well, Kenji, it's last period..you can survive the hour."
Kenji looked, grabbing his dark black hair, squeezing his head in annoyance.
"You're lucky I can withstand even a few hours here in the first place."
A girl looked over at them, standing up and suddenly walking out of the classroom.
Kenji looked over. "Wonder what her problem is.."
The boy stared at him. "Well, I wonder what you're thinking."
Kenji looked at him, standing up. "You're crazy."
The boy stood up as they both suddenly heard a scream down the corridor.
Instantly, Kenji reacted, sprinting outside of the classroom and down the corridor, seeing the girl getting harassed by older years.
Kenji sighed. "These guys never know how to keep their hands to themselves." He said as he suddenly sprung into the air, kicking one down.
Suddenly, the upper years looked as Kenji as he landed, quickly dashing at him.
Kenji looked at all of them. "It's too bad you had to pick on a lower year, especially a girl." He said as he grabbed one's arm, spinning their body, reflecting it back at one of the other upper years, looking at the last one, kicking their leg, then ending up on the ground instantly.
"It doesn't help to be weird." He said as he walked on top of all of them, then looking at the girl.
"You alright..?" Kenji asked, holding his hand out as she took it gracefully.
The girl nodded.
Kenji stared. "What's your name, anyways.." He said as he let go of her hand, scratching his head a little.
"My name's Aiko. Aiko Fuhara." The girl spoke, her body still hurting from the hits.
"My name's Kenji. Kenji Hurida." He said as he put his hands in his pockets, walking back into class.
Aiko looked back, her day slowly brightening up as she went back to class, sitting down.
Kenji looked at his friend. "Seriously, you need to get a grip, Hura."
"Sorry, sorry..school's over, so we can go now." He said as he took both of their bags, giving Kenji his.
"You say this as if I fought for like..20 minutes."
Hura stared at him.
Kenji rolled his eyes, smirking a bit as he walked out of the classroom, walking outside of the school.
"You know..we should take the long way.."
"Bro. Do you not see the orange in the sky?!" Kenji spoke.
"Yeah, but it's nicer!" Hura spoke.
Kenji sighed. "You always fail to not annoy me." He said as they both started walking down the pavement as the sun slowly set.
"You know, doesn't it feel awkward that there's only 2 of us here..?" Hura spoke.
"Yeah..but..don't you feel something else..?"
Hura's heart started racing. "Okay..CHILLAX..!!" He said as he started getting scared.
"I'm being serious, fool!!" He said as he started walking slower.
Hura suddenly started running as a sword went flying towards him, dodging it by a centimeter.
"Aww, man. I missed." The cloaked person spoke.
Kenji and Hura both looked, trying to run away, but they were stuck in a radius.
"Aww man!! You're locked up!!" The hooded figure smiled.
Kenji quickly ran, trying to punch him, missing, getting electrocuted by the barrier, Hura getting angry, trying to punch the hooded figure as well, failing and getting slashed in the back, kicked towards the barrier which surprisingly didn't electrocute him.
Kenji slowly recovered from the attack, standing up as he slammed his fist into the hooded being, looking at Hura as he suddenly turned around with a kick.
The hooded figure quickly vanished, looking from a distance.
"You have yet to hit me." It said as it took the blade from the ground, looking at Hura.
"You're the one I want to kill." He said as he dashed at him, Kenji holding the blade with his hands, pushing it back in a tug-of-war position.
"I won't let you…kill my friend." He said, suddenly getting serious as a raindrop fell, Kenji slamming the hooded figure into the barrier, but it remained uneffective.
Hura quickly jumped, looking at the hooded figure, his vision suddenly distorting.
The hooded figure looked around, grabbing Hura's face. "Good conditions, 5." He said as Hura had suddenly been hit, dropping on the ground.
Kenji's eyes widened to this, not accepting it, grabbing the hooded figure's sword as he started pushing it away, his arms starting to get weaker, the blade aimed towards where his soul rested.
The sword started moving, accelerating faster than it had ever gone before, but then suddenly slowing down.
Kenji's eyes slowly faded to grey as he stared at the figure, slowly dropping dead on the scene.
IN THE REVERSE WORLD.
Kenji looked around, looking out at the distance, like he saw something.
He started walking towards the thing he had seen? It glistened as he got down on 2 knees to pick it up.
"A..headband..?" He said as he looked in the box, slowly placing it onto his head.
IN THE HUMAN WORLD.
Kenji's hair started slowly fading to white, his eyes randomly sparking black and blue, his hand appearing in front of the hooded being, managing to hit them this time.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FRIEND!!" He shouted as the barrier suddenly broke, his hand reaching out, slamming his fist directly into the hooded figure, sending them flying back into the shadows as he looked at himself.
"What..just happened.." Kenji slowly looked back, seeing 2 blurry silhouettes, his eyes losing their spark.
The boy looked. "So this is the one, huh."
The girl looked. "Well, yeah!"
The boy then stared at her, cringing. "Sorry, but that was so corny.."
The girl looked. "Well, he's dead!!"
The boy looked over, seeing more blood stains. "Wasn't there some other person with him..?"
The girl looked. "I don't actually know..It doesn't seem like that. Blood can fly!!"
The boy stared. "You remain unserious, now I'm the one to pick him up."
The girl sighed, clapping her hands together, creating a teleportation seal.
THE NEXT DAY.
Kenji's eyes slowly opened, his head pulsating with pain as he grabbed his forehead, sighing as he stretched, getting out of bed.
"Urgh…how long was I out for…" He said, holding onto the bed post, his voice slurring as he started walking around, completely unaware of where he was.
"Hura…where.." He looked around, the lights aching his eyes as he tried blinking, shadowing his line of sight with his hand above his eyes.
He then looked at a table of food, walking over to it, beginning to eat. In that moment, he realized he didn't even know where he was, and he was already eating in complete ignorance of any safety precautions.
Kenji sighed until all the doors suddenly widened open, people emerging from the steam.
"Oh, it's him! He's awake!" The girl said as she ran over to him, grabbing his hands.
Kenji quickly got red, looking at her. "You're the girl I saved..!"
"Yeah! You already know my name, right..?"
"Yeah! Aiko!" He said as he smiled at her, even though he felt a powerful presence from everybody else in the room.
"I'm Aiko's older brother, Kaito." He looked at Kenji.
"I've heard of you before..! They say you're really strong at our school..But what are you guys doing in this blinding room anyways.." He looked around.
"They're here to greet you." A voice said, emerging from the slightly larger door, Kenji looking back in shock and confusion.
The Commander had arrived. Everybody sat in their positions, Kenji looking at the Commander.
"You are Kenji, correct?" The Commander spoke.
Kenji nodded. "Have we met before..?"
"No, but it was fate for us to meet." The Commander looked, his base door opening.
"I'll explain everything to you as we continue."
???
The hooded figure re-appeared, dragging Hura's body across the ground.
"Your vessel, sir." The figure spoke with absolute authority out of raw fear.
The being looked at it, smiling. "This one is perfect..Thank you." He said as he clapped his hands together.
"Kenji…that's your name, isn't it. I'm coming for you." The being laughed, appearing in Hura's body now.
BACK WITH KENJI AND THE COMMANDER.
The Commander shut his doors, sitting behind his desk. "Did you know that you..you're what we call a prophecy..?"
Kenji looked. "What are..you talking about..?"
"Read this prophecy."
Kenji looked at the ancient rune, starting to speak out loud.
In the time of shadows, a child will rise, born of two worlds, but belonging to neither. He shall walk the path of the lost, bearing the weight of forgotten names and ancient blood.Fate will call him, but he will turn away, for his destiny is not bound by the stars. He is the one who defies the unseen threads, a blade against the hand of fate itself. Through fire and darkness, he will find his strength, and in his silence, he will shape a new dawn.
The Defier of Fate shall rise, not to follow, but to lead.
"And how is this me?? What is all this about fate?"
"You may not understand it as of right now, but that prophecy IS you." The Commander looked at him.
Kenji looked, standing up. "You're saying this as if I have to do this!! I don't have to!"
The Commander sighed. "You will come to your senses, Kenji. You were made for this!!"
Kenji stared. "Made..for this..?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!"
The Commander looked. "You don't realize it right now..but you are-" He said as the alarm suddenly went off, both of them exiting his room.
Kaito spoke. "It's the Nameless again."
Aiko looked. "Man, we already defeated them last time..but then Fuyumi got taken.."
Kenji squinted. "Who's.."
The Commander spoke. "It doesn't matter."
Aiko looked. "The ship's all ready, let's go!" She said as she started sprinting into the ship, Kaito walking in.
The Commander spoke. "You're going with them."
Kenji looked back, sighing as he followed them into the ship, sitting on the 3rd seat in the middle.
Kaito looked. "Oh..we didn't introduce you to the other members."
Aiko started pointing. "That girl over there..is Shiori!"
Kaito looked. "Meant to be MY phrase, but whatever."
Aiko then pointed at the other seat. "That's Takuma."
Takuma and Shiori both spoke. "Yo! Nice to have a new member."
Kenji smiled, feeling the jet's insane speed. "I JUST REALIZED I'VE NEVER BEEN IN A JET BEFORE.."
Aiko looked. "Well, you'll be jumping out of it in a sec!!"
Kenji stared blankly. "You're joking, right..?"
Kaito sighed. "She's unfortunately not joking."
Suddenly, the ship flew over the city, seeing barrages of Nameless all over the area.
"Well, it's time, Kenji! You're gonna have to jump!!"
Kenji looked around, then pointing at himself. "Me? Jump? well..I'm not actually that scared…It might be fun.." He said as he got up off his seat, walking to the door as Kaito and Aiko followed.
Takuma and Shiori took over the ship. "We'll take over while you guys deal with the Nameless."
Aiko nodded as she took out her pale white sword, opening the door.
"This will be fun!" She smiled at Kenji as she jumped down slowly.
Kaito grabbed Kenji, quickly jumping out with him.
"DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT?!" Kenji shouted.
Kaito looked. "I knew you wouldn't, so I didn't bother."
Kenji looked, nearly passing out from the amount of wind blowing in his face, getting slapped on the back by Kaito.
"You're gonna HAVE to get used to it, you know.." Kaito looked at him.
"I don't know how you guys are used to this. Also..how do we land..? Because we're awfully close to the ground right now.."
Aiko looked back. "Well, our powers, of course!" She said as she unsheathed her sword, her breath getting cold.
"Catch you on the ground." She said as ice started flying, making a snowboard for her.
Kaito rolled her eyes. "Showoff." He said as the weather started changing, making his own board of clouds, grabbing Kenji.
"You know I could've fallen on my own..?" Kenji spoke.
"SO WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING?!" Kaito started getting irritated, sighing as he dropped Kenji on the ground, them both landing.
A horde of Nameless started running at them all.
Aiko descended down to the two of them, dashing at the Nameless directly, sheathing her sword instantly as she appeared behind all of them.
"What did she even do." Kenji looked.
"Just wait.." Kaito stared, looking at the Nameless suddenly freezing and disappearing.
But suddenly, more hordes of Nameless appeared, Kaito putting his hands together, creating a blade of pressurized air, dashing to the Nameless and slashing them down.
Kenji looked, not able to do anything, looking at the 5 Nameless starting to run at him.
"I have to do something..I may not have powers like them..but I'm able to fight.."
He said as he ran into the fight, punching one down, grabbing another one and kicking them, landing and tackling the 3rd one, looking at the last two.
"You 2 seem bigger than usual.." He said as his body got bashed into the ground, getting tossed across the city, his forehead bleeding, his hair stained with his own blood.
"What..is this feeling…this feeling of…defeat..?" Kenji felt, standing up, looking as the Nameless had gotten even closer, about to launch a fist into Kenji's face, a large explosion happening.
Kaito and Aiko both looked back.
"What the hell was that?!" Aiko shouted, but then she suddenly saw 2 glimmering eyes."
Kenji sighed. "I still won't believe what that Commander said..but if my fate was to die right here, I'D DEFY IT." He said as the dust flowed away, revealing Kenji's cold white hair, his eyes glistening between red and blue as he punched the Nameless, erasing it from existence as he smiled.
"My power's exhilarating." Kenji said as he took deep breaths, the last large Nameless running at him, Kenji's powers going out of control, his eyes sparking as his energy spread throughout the city, eliminating every Nameless in the distance.
Kaito and Aiko both looked in complete shock, just staring in awe at the threads of energy flowing everywhere.
"Surely, he's apart of the prophecy.." Aiko looked.
"Well..this is a sight for people to see.." He said as he then looked at Kenji who had run out of energy, nearly falling on the ground, but Kaito had caught him, picking him up.
"We're gonna have to take him back." Kaito said as he turned around, walking away.
The plane suddenly descended, Kaito and Aiko quickly jumping on, flying back to their headquarters.
HOURS LATER, AT THE HEADQUARTERS.
Aiko looked, staring at Kenji's face. "Hopefully, he's okay."
"I hope so too." Kaito sighed.
The Commander walked in. "Kaito, Aiko, congratulations on your mission. No damage was caused, no citizens were hurt and he's still alive."
"I don't think you understand, Commander." Kaito spoke.
The Commander looked in confusion.
"Kenji killed them all.." Aiko spoke.
The Commander stared. "Are you sure? But from what I've seen, there was some large blue web that you caused from the dusty building..!"
Kaito and Aiko both looked at each other, then stared at the Commander.
The Commander looked at Kenji. "I want him…to awaken…through my own means…" He said as he unsheathed his sword, pointing it at Kenji's capsule.
Kaito quickly dashed, staring at the Commander's actions as he stopped the blade, pushing him back as Aiko quickly got his feet, freezing him.
"I don't know WHAT YOU'RE DOING, COMMANDER, BUT YOU NEED TO STOP!!" Aiko shouted as Takuma and Shiori both ran in, Takuma using his power to grab the Commander, paralyzing him. Shiori kept a long distance between the blade and the capsule of Kenji.
The Commander suddenly looked, dropping the blade, suddenly falling back, his eyes starting to shift colours. "What did I just do…" He looked around in confusion.
Aiko looked in confusion. "What on Earth happened to you, commander..?"
The Commander held his head tightly. "I don't know..I saw a crown..and a bunch of eyes.." He said as he slowly stood up.
Kaito sighed. "Well, let's go. Leave Kenji to rest." He said as they all left the room, leaving Kenji on his own.
Suddenly, a figure appeared, staring at Kenji's capsule. "You know, seeing you now, it's so interesting!!" The person said as they laughed a little, suddenly flipping their body upside down, standing.
"Kenji..you really ARE interesting. But..your Commander..ehh.." They said as they faded away.
THE NEXT DAY - A BREAK.
Kenji had slowly woken up, looking at Aiko and Kaito staring at him, feeling a bit awkward.
"How long have you guys been watching me sleep for..?"
"About..3 minutes ago, we walked in here." Kaito spoke.
"We're just glad you're awake!" Aiko smiled, opening the capsule. Kenji stretched his muscles a bit, trying to take a step, nearly stumbling, falling on Aiko's shoulder.
Aiko looked, holding his arm, trying to support him. "How can you forget how to walk after only being asleep for about half a day..?"
Kaito sighed. "Cut him some slack. Let's go Soul Hunting..!"
Aiko's eyes suddenly started sparkling and glistening. "SOUL HUNTING!!"
Kenji looked. "What's..Soul Hunting..?"
Kaito pulled out an object with a talisman sealed on it. "It's a form of training. You pour your essence into this talisman, and it will have the ability to attract a soul into the object!"
Aiko looked. "It's so fun!!"
Kenji squinted. "Sounds fun. So where do we go exactly..?"
Kaito spoke. "You'll see."
30 minutes later, they were in the outskirts of the city, arriving in the Forest of Spirits.
"I remember playing here a lot.." Kaito looked, smelling the breeze.
Kenji held the statue with the talisman on it. "So, I've just gotta do this.." He said as he started walking slowly through the forest, Aiko and Kaito walking behind him.
"If you guys know the place SO WELL, why don't you go infront!!" He shouted.
"Uhmm..because you're meant to be adventurous..?" Aiko spoke.
"Yeah..!" Kaito answered alongside Aiko.
Kenji sighed, looking as he focused on the item he held, his soul starting to pour into it.
Aiko looked. "Surprisingly you can do that..? that easily..?"
Kaito then sighed. "I wasn't able to do it first try."
Kenji turned around. "So, what if the thing starts..like..glowing..?"
Aiko and Kaito both widened their eyes at the talisman and the object as it started glistening, fragments of a soul flying into it.
"This seems pretty scary.." Kenji looked around as he started feeling sharp edges from the talisman, it starting to form the shape of a blade.
"A..blade..?" Kaito and Aiko both analyzed it in great detail, feeling it's presence.
Kenji held the blade, lifting it up as it's aura started glowing from Kenji's body to itself, its own body being made based off Kenji's own DNA.
The young spirit looked, standing up, covered in torn robes.
"My name..is Kaira.." The spirit spoke, a large talisman on their head.
Kenji looked. "You know, you look like me..!"
"To an extent-" Aiko snickered.
Kenji ignored her. "My name is Kenji."
Kaira looked up at him, their dark eyes starting to flow with colour, their eyes turning blue.
"Hmm, Kaira..I'll call you Aira." He said.
Kaira nodded, smiling a bit.
Kaito then looked. "Don't show her to the Commander. It would be bad.."
Kaira suddenly turned around with her large bug eyes, staring intently at Kaito, her form transforming back into a blade.
Kenji looked at the blade, smiling at it, sheathing it again.
"Well, that was fun!" He said.
Kaito looked. "That wasn't meant to happen." He said as he scratched his head.
"But whatever, we gained an ally..!" He said as they all slowly walked out of the forest, receiving a message on the comms.
"ATTENTION ALL ORGANIZATION MEMBERS, REPORT TO THE SORASHIRO IMMEDIATELY!"
Kenji, Kaito and Aiko all looked.
"Is it the one who stole Fuyumi away?" Aiko said in anger, her voice sounding tight.
Kaito looked.. "Either way, we're going." He said as he suddenly grabbed the two of them, soaring into the sky.
Kaira had made a bond with Kenji, able to telepathically speak with him in the moments.
"Kenji…I see..a bad guy." She spoke as Kenji tried analyzing the area.
"I move faster in rain.." Kaito said as the clouds started accelerating their methods, creating a thunderstorm, causing an insane boost in speed, the 3 of them all crashing into the Sorashiro.
Kaito was the first to get up, looking at the Nameless that seemed to look..human?
"What the hell..take a look at that.." He pointed at the Nameless that seemed to be more humanely figured.
Kaito didn't even realize that the Nameless had grabbed him by the face, sending him flying into the outer barriers of the Sorashiro.
Aiko quickly got up, launching an ice attack directly at the Nameless before suddenly getting blitzed, her cold breath freezing over their face, stunning them.
"I could've..died..right there.." She started breathing in complete fear.
Kenji slowly got up, barely able to stand. He tried his hardest so he could help his friends, but nothing worked. No matter how hard he pushed.
Aiko looked behind her as the Nameless suddenly grabbed her by the throat, starting to choke her.
"KEN-....JI…." She started rapidly losing consciousness.
"I have to….I HAVE TO…I NEED TO.." He said as he slammed the ground, his energy starting to overflow around his body as if he was birthed in a fit of fury. He quickly grabbed the Nameless, saving Aiko in a heartbeat, running while holding the Nameless, pushing them into the ground, starting to barrage them with fists.
"YOU?? NAMELESS?? I'LL GIVE YOU A NAME!!" Kenji shouted while laughing, grabbing the arm of the Nameless, completely tearing it off out of pure primal instinct, holding the Nameless up and throwing them to their death.
Aiko looked at Kenji's overwhelming strength.
"He did all that…to protect me…" She thought, barely being able to stand up.
Kenji looked around, thinking slowly, Kaira filling him with knowledge.
"Using your spiritual radius, I can detect about..a horde of them.." Kaira spoke.
Kenji sighed. "I can defeat a horde." He said as he heard them all running towards him as he unsheathed Kaira.
"You know, I don't really prefer the name Aira.." He said as the aura started draining from him into her sword.
"A regular sword's slashes.." He said as he looked at all of the Nameless, the sword flaring with aura as his legs were reinforced with compressed aura, shooting towards the horde, leading to a huge explosion.
A plane had flown over, Shiori and Takuma suddenly descending.
"SORRY WE'RE LATE!!" Takuma shouted as the ground's shadows started flying to him, creating a Shadow Avatar, stomping on the hordes of Nameless.
Shiori suddenly descended, launching beams of light towards the Nameless, eradicating multiple of them.
Kenji looked at the two of them, pointing at Aiko and Kaito.
"DO NOT WORRY WITH THE REST! I WILL HANDLE THIS!" He said as he created an explosion, starting to end multiple Nameless, jumping past one's shoulder, spinning and slashing them as he ran, slicing legs off, sliding under them.
"It's not hard to end all of you weaklings, now." He said as he smiled, slicing through the last Nameless, looking as he saw a silhouette in the distance.
"So, you're the one…" The person turned around, Kenji widening his eyes at the sight.
"You have trampled over my plans for too long..it's rough."
"It took too long for me to get to you, but I finally did."
"They have been developing this technique over thousands of years, haven't you seen it before..?" He said as he took out a silver sphere, smiling.
Kenji could barely even speak, his mind completely deranged. "WHO ARE YOU?!"
"Kenji..don't you know..! I'm Hura, your best friend.."
"I OBVIOUSLY KNOW THAT YOU AREN'T!!!" Kenji shouted as he suddenly felt chains around his body, his sword sheathing itself.
"It's funny, Kenji. Your life just gets in the way. Stop living now, and save yourself."
"NO.." He said as the chains started tiring him out, Hura smiling as he pointed the sphere towards Kenji, a large mouth opening wide.
"Live forever, yet never." Hura laughed as the Seal started absorbing his body, inhaling it as it licked it's lips, officially sealing Kenji, the rest of the Organization all seeing this - Kaito, Aiko, Kazumi and Shiori.
The Commander suddenly appeared on top of the Castle, laughing.
"This was all a part of my plan…thank you all..for playing your part." He started laughing out loud as he disappeared alongside Hura.
The entire group looked in complete shock.
"What the HELL?!" Aiko said as she started raging.
"Don't get too rageful…We need to get off this Castle first.." Kaito said as they all started hearing a beep.
"What's that sound..?" Shiori started looking around as they ALL started hearing it.
"IT'S A BOMB!" Kazumi quickly said as he grabbed all of them, becoming a Shadow Avatar, flying out of the Castle as it all started exploding.
They all looked down at what they once had, burning away with a wisp.
"The Commander and that guy took that orb that had Fuyumi in it…but now Kenji is in there.." Shiori spoke.
"We keep losing people.." Kaito spoke.
Kazumi then looked around. "We just have to train…to get Kenji back."
???
Hura and the Commander both walked into their hidden base. It was an easy task, capturing Kenji. He was reckless w ith each action he made, not even able to control his abilities.
Hura started holding the sphere, feeling a powerful pressure coming from it, his own aura starting to clash it.
"That can't be Kenji. He can't cause a ripple in this seal.." Hura looked at the sphere, seeing a crack on the bottom.
"What the…" He said as he started enforcing his aura into the sphere even more, this being a clash of energies now, more cracks forming all around.
"DAMN YOU, JUST STAY IN!!" Hura shouted, suppressing the Sphere.
The Commander slowly walked over. "It's presence is overwhelming. Is that Kenji?"
Hura spoke. "I've never felt his presence before. I wouldn't know." He said as through the cracks, an aura started leaking. A cold blue one, striking fear into both of them, a hand suddenly forming, choking Hura.
"YOU WON'T WIN AGAINST ME.." He said as his aura started overflowing, grabbing the arm off, a whole body slowly coming out.
Hura suddenly jumped back, about to unsheathe his sword.
The aura started flying around, forming it's own body.
"You couldn't be…"
"But I am."
Hura quickly unsheathed his sword, clashing with the spirit. "You AREN'T!! YOU CAN'T BE!"
The spirit smiled, forming it's flesh, resembling the being of the past.
"How's…Kaizen." The spirit smiled.
"YOU'RE NOT MEANT TO BE ALIVE! YOUR CORPSE GOT SEALED, SO HOW ARE YOU ALIVE RIGHT NOW?!"
"I won't tell you..but you're a corpse yourself, aren't you."
Hura started looking in fear, trying to punch the spirit, getting launched back in the process.
"I'm out.." The spirit looked around, laughing.
"I'm beyond your control now, whatever you call yourself."
"I HATE YOU!! I'VE ALWAYS HATED YOU!!" Hura said as he ran, trying to punch him, but the spirit disappeared, leaving Hura with the Commander, looking at the Sphere regenerating itself.
Hura sighed in complete relief, holding the Sphere and placing it in a glass box.
The Commander spoke. "Who was that."
"You don't need to know.."
"Kenji..he will remain a threat." Hura looked as he stared at the sphere.
INSIDE THE SPHERE.
Kenji awoke, only seeing a complete void.
"Where…" Kenji arose, looking around.
"First time, eh?" A middle aged woman had suddenly appeared, her mint hair glistening as they both looked at each other.
Kenji stared, looking completely lost. "Where am I, and who are you.."
"My name's Fuyumi..I don't know why you'd need it in a place like this. You can't exactly get lost.." She said as she looked around, demonstrating to him.
"Fuyumi..I've heard that name before.." He said as he started thinking heavily, the memories starting to flow around his head.
"AHA! You know Aiko?" Kenji looked, standing up immediately.
"You also know Aiko?! Does that mean you know how to get out of this thing..?"
Kenji looked, gritting his teeth as he sighed, rubbing his hair. "Uhmm..! No. I'm trapped here too."
"Don't you think we can escape from the outside..? Like that strange corpse..?"
"No?? That guy was scary..how can a corpse suddenly come back to life..then just become..aura itself..?"
"Well, don't ask me! I'm only intelligent enough to an extent!!" Fuyumi looked, staring at Kenji in anger, her cheeks puffed up.
"Anyways, just know we need to escape.." Fuyumi looked.
"I'm fully aware of that, but at least we have each other..and a mutual friend." Kenji sighed as he sat down, waiting for his fate.
2ND SAGA - 3 DAYS AFTER THE REVEAL OF HURA.
A girl dashed down the streets of Umi City, drenched in complete fear, groups of nameless followed by an Apex Nameless, roaming down the streets. There was nothing she could do until she ran into an alleyway, practically cornering herself.
"Please..don't..do anything.." She said as she got scared, standing still as if she was frozen.
But suddenly, she saw a new figure appear, Hura suddenly ascending from the ground.
"Who the hell ARE YOU?!" The girl looked as Hura kept getting closer.
"You're the one I want…I know you are.." He said as his hand slowly reached out, but suddenly felt a surface between the two of them.
"You know..it's not nice to prey on girls at night." The person said as they jumped down from the building infront of the woman, staring at Hura.
"You're..the guy from the news..! The…"
The person looked, silencing her with their finger, looking at Hura in the eyes.
"You should watch yourself." They said as they slowly pushed their hand out, looking at Hura as he got slammed into another building.
"Turns out he's going to multiple cities..It's not hard to protect them all." The person looked before turning around, staring at the girl.
"Sorry for that, let's go together." They said as they took the girl's hand gently, looking at all of the Nameless and the Apex Nameless.
"A stronger Nameless…and the weak ones." The person looked, letting go of her hand softly, creating a gust of wind with his hand, blasting them all away as he looked back at the girl.
"You're safe now." The person spoke, looking around, sensing for anything else.
"Thank you so much..!" The girl nodded as she quickly ran home.
The person then stared at Hura from behind them. "You know, I know what that girl's capable of. I
know why you want her, and you won't get her."
Hura laughed as he launched a blast at the person, it suddenly disappearing before it was even launched.
"What the HELL are you capable of.." Hura's personality suddenly switched as he got angry, sending more blasts, them all ceasing to exist before they were even launched.
The person suddenly got close to his face, holding his chest. "You know, I'm not allowed to kill you."
Hura looked in fear at the immense speed that was just shown, his heart beating heavily as he got launched across the city.
The person sighed. "I've already sent the others to the cities where the spiritual activity is. Hopefully, they can stop him."
The girl quickly ran into her home, landing on her feet. "Damnit…That guy was so weird.." She said as she ran upstairs, taking deep breaths.
"This thing I have…it's made me unsafe.." She said as she looked at her hands.
"But that guy..he saved me.." She thought as her eyes widened, feeling a hand on her shoulder.
Hura was standing above her. "You think he saved you, huh."
The girl looked up at him, locking eyes with him as her hands suddenly opened, releasing chains, trapping Hura.
"DAMN THIS! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" Hura tried moving, his energy starting to be drained, a circular object's aura starting to get sucked through the chains. Hura's eyes widened at this, knowing that was the one thing that couldn't happen. He held onto it tightly, trying to stop it.
"NO! STOP! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!!" He said as he got angriier, unsheathing his sword, about to slash her neck, but was quickly slammed into a wall by Kazumi.
"We know you have it. Return the Seal Sphere to us." Kazumi spoke, using his powers to control him, forcing him to take it out.
Aiko had suddenly dashed up the stairs, focusing an ice blast into her fingers, blasting his hand.
"COMMANDER!" He said as a void opened, swallowing the entire house into a portal.
Aiko, Kaito and Kazumi all looked as they all prepared themselves for what was happening.
"WE'RE GETTING KENJI AND FUYUMI BACK!" Aiko said as she quickly sped to the sphere, grabbing it as she got sent blasting out of the house by the Commander, but they were not in Umi City anymore. They were in a completely different world now.
Hura smiled. "Well, it's time to even the odds." He said as the chains kept holding him, just making his aura overflow to the point where he could use it like normal, sending blasts at them, the house getting destroyed with each action.
But suddenly, time started flowing around Yuna, a voice speaking to her.
"You're aware of your power..what you possess."
Yuna suddenly looked back. "Yes…I know…but..how do I know I'm ready for this..?"
"You already know you are. Are you aware of how powerful this person you're holding is..?"
"No..But from his looks..he seems pretty strong." Yuna looked, her confidence starting to melt.
"Don't worry, just focus on your chains..your power is immense. I can feel it from your soul..Imagine a web..and extend your presence throughout each chain." The person suddenly disappeared.
Yuna then looked, closing her eyes and focusing on all the chains.
The Commander grabbed Kaito's face, slamming it into the wall, starting to barrage him with punches.
Kazumi quickly kicked The Commander in the face, throwing him down the stairs.
"It's too bad this house may get destroyed in the process of this." He sighed as he went down the stairs, grabbing the Commander and putting him up to the wall, the shadows enveloping his arms, choking him out.
Kaito quickly got back up, jumping out of the hole to help Aiko. Hura suddenly looked to the left, realizing they were in control of the Seal Sphere, trying his hardest to move.
"GET OFFF MEEEE!!" Hura shouted as he tried breaking the chains.
"These are the chains of fate. The chains you can't control." She said as she put all the chains on one hand, pulling him closer, landing a nasty punch on him, giving him a nose bleed, a critical hit to the face.
Aiko quickly looked at the Sphere. "Now might be a good time to learn how to release the seal.."
Kaito quickly floated down, staring at the seal.
"What if we just.." He looked as he used both hands, using a spell that caused his hands to turn black, performing it on the seal.
"I think that girl's power is what completes it, but she's the only one who rivals Hura at the moment. Her technique is incredible."
Kazumi was suddenly sent flying at them, the Commander appearing after breaking through the concrete wall. Aiko, Kaito and Kazumi suddenly looked at him walking closer.
"Kinda got into some trouble..?" Kazumi slowly got up, his legs feeling immense pain as he tried walking over in front of the Commander.
Aiko suddenly looked. "We have to protect Kaito. That's our objective." She said before a hole suddenly opened in the ground.
Aiko, Kaito and Kazumi all looked in confusion as they were all suddenly sent to the ground by this immense amount of pressure they all felt. Who could have this much power to send them all to the ground?
The being from before had emerged from the hole, it slowly closing as he landed on the ground, staring at the Commander.
"That girl must have some power if she's able to restrict him for this long." The being then saw the Commander.
"So, you're the one that teleported them all here."
"So what." The Commander looked.
"You're getting in my way..Don't annoy me." He said as he sped to him, clashing him.
"I was told I can't kill that person over there..but they never said anything about you."
The Commander's eyes suddenly widened in fear, feeling the immense pressure.
The being then used his fingertips, placing them all on the Commander's torso, uttering a short incantation which sent him flying.
"Whatever…" The being said as they teleported to Kaito, looking at the ritual going on.
"Ooh..that technique..I haven't seen it before, but I've heard of it.."
Aiko was frozen, but then she thawed, speaking, "Thanks for helping us, but we need the girl if we want to break this seal."
The being looked. "Those chains are powerful. I don't know how she has that much control over them.." He said as they saw Hura getting launched outside the top floor of the house.
The being looked. "I should've followed her..damnit.." He said as he flew over to the girl.
Yuna was inside, energy pulsing through the chains, her body tired.
"It's you.." Yuna spoke as she looked at the being.
"The people down there..they need your help." The being spoke.
"What you possess..are the Chains of Fate. They are able to seal or unseal any phenomena, no matter what."
Yuna's eyes widened. "I possess this power..?"
"Yeah, and they KINDA NEED IT..like..RIGHT NOW..?" The being spoke as he grabbed her hand, jumping out of the house, staring at Hura.
Hura slowly got back up, starting to laugh.
"I REMAIN UNBOUND, FOOLISH GIRL!!" He said as his body could barely operate.
Yuna stared blankly at him, not caring about what he had to say.
"I WILL BE FOREVER IMMORTAL, AND I WILL WIN!! NOBODY CAN STOP ME NOW!"
"NOT EVEN THE SPIRITS WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE ME TO THE AFTERLIFE! I WILL WIN, FOREVER!! THROUGHOUT COUNTLESS EXISTENCES, I WILL EXIST!"
"I HAVE EXISTED FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS!! NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO STOP ME!! I AM INFINITY YET NOTHING, BEYOND ALL SPACE AND TIME ITSELF!!" He said as he started coughing out blood, laughing manically.
In the time that he spent talking to himself, the ritual to destroy the seal sphere had begun.
"YOU THINK UNSEALING 2 PUNY PEOPLE WILL WORK!!" Hura laughed as he charged a blast, a barrier being set up in response by the being.
Kaito and Yuna started merging their power, the seal starting to weaken, their aura starting to spike, every aura in the radius overflowing out of their body, creating a spiral of energy.
WITHIN THE SEAL SPHERE.
"Ya know, Fuyumi..Doesn't something feel off about the seal NOW than before..?"
Fuyumi started thinking. "It feels lighter..like-"
"They've managed to get the sphere!!" Kenji smiled.
"I know a way we can help them, I researched this a while ago."
"Don't gatekeep." Kenji started paying attention.
"If we aim our aura at the top of the seal, we can start a push and pull, which will eventually destroy the seal." Fuyumi spoke, smiling.
Kenji nodded as he started using his energy overflowing out of his body.
"My energy feels..different..stronger.." He said as his aura flowed even larger, Fuyumi's energy spiking the seal, preparing for it to shatter.
"We'll go beyond our limits…" Kenji said as his headband started glowing, his sword reacting to it in the process, the headband transforming into lightweight gauntlets, his eyes starting to glimmer rainbow.
Fuyumi looked at this, smiling as they both felt themselves getting stronger.
OUTSIDE OF THE SEAL.
"They do not get unsealed here.." The being spoke.
Hura laughed, grabbing the Commander and disappearing out of the portal, the being controlling the portal itself.
"YOU GUYS HAVE TIME, CONTINUE THE RITUAL AND GET TO THE SAKURAMI SCHOOL!" The being spoke.
Kaito wondered. "Why there.."
Aiko looked as she quickly dashed through the portal, arriving in the Central part of Yukata.
"LET'S GO!" Aiko said as she made a huge snowboard, Kaito using his air pressure with his left and right arms, speeding into the air.
In the cost of a few minutes, they saw Hura vanishing throughout the city in a matter of a few seconds.
"We need to get there before him…" Kazumi spoke.
But suddenly, 2 large wings of light appeared, grabbing the snowboard, flying directly in the school's way at jet speeds.
Shiori was under the snowboard, using all her strength to toss it directly to the school, keeping up with it as they all landed outside of it.
"How do we.." Kaito looked.
The being stood forward. "Haa, Rii, Kui, Mii, SAKURAMI, REVEAL." He said as a pillar of light crashed onto the school, revealing a deep hole.
"It's now or never. They're probably down there already." He said as he jumped down, the rest all following.
"It's like going into the abyss.." Aiko said.
"Well, we're doing this to get Kenji and Fuyumi back." Kaito spoke.
"How far until we reach the bottom..?" Yuna spoke.
"It's approximately..1500 meters below sea level." The being spoke as he looked down. "We're halfway."
Kaito looked at the seal, feeling his energy starting to clash against it, creating the push and pull.
"I think they're fighting against the seal now..!"
"Good to know they're alive in the first place. Here it comes." He said as he opened a tangible barrier, all landing in the Sakurami Ruins.
They all saw Hura's energy start to grow, lots of spiritual energy start flying to his body.
"The time has come..to be unbound.."
The being decided it was too late, deciding to use his own energy on the Seal Sphere.
"SEE, HAA, RAA, JII, YUU, MII, RELEASE!" He said as he released the already weakened seal, causing the Seal Sphere to shatter, large gusts of wind blowing them everywhere as the barrier fell.
Hura laughed insanely as his energy started getting even stronger, launching a blast at all of them, a huge explosion happening.
"So, you're the one who took my friend's body." A voice was heard, the blast being blocked.
KENJI HAS BEEN UNSEALED!
FUYUMI HAS BEEN UNSEALED!
Kenji looked at Hura, then looked back at everyone. "This is my fight, but feel free to cheer." He smirked as he looked back at Hura, staring at him.
"You're a problem.." Kenji said as he suddenly teleported above him, slamming down on him, breaking through his amounts of energy, slamming him into the ground, jumping back.
"I WILL TELL YOU MY TRUE NAME…" Hura looked as he revealed his torso, showing his organs and his soul in place of Huras.
"MY SOUL'S NAME..IS KUROYAMI." He smiled as he blasted energy at Kenji, causing more dust clouds, Fuyumi appearing on the 2nd platform, dusting them away.
Kenji remained completely unscathed, blasting Kuroyami himself, sending him flying back, his energy suddenly releasing in that moment, reverting him to his old form, growing to 8 foot tall, his figure shining over others.
"I'm not actually surprised, but I've got something to show you." Kenji spoke as a spirit started forming right next to him.
"YOU AGAIN!! I THOUGHT.." Kuroyami shouted.
"Nah." The spirit spoke, pointing at Kuroyami.
"We've decided to work together. As me and my brother are wandering spirits..we decided to team up against you." The spirit suddenly started absorbing excess energy, transforming into his old body, turning back into Kaizen from 30 years ago.
Kenji looked. "Bring it on."
Kaito, Aiko, Kazumi, Shiori and Fuyumi all looked in complete shock of what they saw. The being smiled in response.
Hura quickly dashed to Kenji, trying to punch him, being blocked by Kaizen's fisr which suddenly turned into blades, his fingers dancing around Kuroyami's large fist, jumping into the air and kicking him in the face, Kuroyami responding by grabbing his foot, throwing him into the wall.
Kenji then teleported behind Kuroyami, summoning Kaira, slashing his back, leaving light cuts, springing off his body.
"You have to aim for his legs…They seem weaker in comparison to his whole body.." Kaira spoke to Kenji telepathically.
"Alright." Kenji looked as he poured his aura into Kaira, dashing and stabbing into his leg, causing Kuroyami to drop on one knee.
Kenji used this as an advantage to step back, dodging the 3 blasts Kuroyami sent at him.
"Kaira, we're gonna have to try something new.." He said as he held her tight.
"I can help you..but it'll be risky..It's too early to use.." Kaira spoke.
Kenji sighed, slashing more of Kuroyami's attacks. "I trust you." He said as he readied himself, slashing Kuroyami's arm, leaving a deep cut.
Aiko looked. "We need to help him.."
Kaito held her back. "This is their fight." He looked as Kaizen suddenly zoomed back in, storing electricity inside of the deep cut, paralyzing Kuroyami.
Kuroyami's energy suddenly started releasing, sending shockwaves, sending EVERYBODY in the ruins back, the being staring at the fight.
"The environment of the battle is about to change.."
Kuroyami laughed as his hand touched the ground, opening his domain, teleporting everybody into a orb in the air.
"NOW, THE ODDS ARE EVEN! WE CAN FIGHT OUR HEARTS OUT!"
Kenji sheathed Kaira, walking back to Aiko and Kaito. "I'm aware of my abilities now..Give me your hands."
They both looked at him weirdly, accepting it as their hands started glowing.
"Thanks!" He said as he turned around, zooming to Kuroyami in a matter of seconds, kicking him with thunder, using his gauntlet to release glacial energy, slamming it into his torso.
WITH HIS OWN ABILITIES, KENJI HAS TRULY AWOKEN!
Kenji's eyes glistened as he started creating afterimages, Kuroyami failing to attack, Kenji teleporting above him, faking an attack before he appeared in front of him, aiming for his soul.
He charged the gauntlet, rushing, slamming his fist, causing critical damage on Kuroyami, blood shedding everywhere as Kaizen appeared behind him, aiming for his soul from the back, sending powerful pulses, causing it to vibrate.
"LET MY FRIEND GO!" Kenji said angrily as he took one deep breath, barraging Kuroyami's soul with attacks.
"THIS ISN'T OVER!!" Kuroyami shouted, coughing up blood as his domain ended, roaring as he landed on a building.
"I'LL KILL YOU!!" Kuroyami shouted as he started charging an infinite amount of portals around them, a blade filling up each spot.
Kenji looked as everybody slowly fell in the air.
"I'LL FINISH YOU.." Kenji said as his power started glistening rainbow, everybody flying up next to him.
Kenji summoned a little needle, infusing it with an aura, changing it's shape, going from an empty black to being filled with colours.
"THIS…IS CELESTIA'S ARROW." Kenji said as it started shining as he sent it right at Kuroyami, causing a large yet small explosion, only damaging Kuroyami, his body fading away.
"IS THAT ALL?? I WILL NEVER LOSE..NOT TO THE LIKES OF YOU..I'M..NAMELEEEEESSSSS!!!" He said as his last words faded away into cinders and ashes.
Kenji looked as his gauntlets faded away, staring up at the Commander.
"Now is the time, Kenji." Kaira spoke as Kenji unsheathed her.
"Combine your power with mine." He said as Kaira became a talisman again, him slapping her on his face as he started charging energy, powering the talisman as he got temporary armour, zooming to the Commander, punching him 9 times.
"DEVASTATION." Kenji uttered as he launched the 10th punch, completely killing the Commander, letting him rest in peace.
Kenji detransformed, looking at all of them.
"THAT WAS.."
"SO COOL!!" Aiko shouted.
Kenji smiled awkwardly. "Thanks..!"
"You're really something, Kenji." Fuyumi flew to him.
The being looked. "My time here is done. Let's go, Yuna." He said as they all flew away, saying their farewells.
Kazumi smiled. "Let's head back to the base. Shiori, mind helping?"
Shiori smiled back at Kazumi, holding the Shadow Avatar, their 2 abilities merging as they flew across the sky, crystalline fragments of light flying everywhere.
BACK AT THE BASE.
They had all landed safely, all sitting down.
"That..was insane." Kaito spoke.
"You know, we need a new name." Aiko spoke.
"Ooh! What about the shadows!" Kazumi shouted. Everybody stared blankly at him, bursting into laughter seconds later.
"How about..the Organization. It's simple, yet clean." Shiori spoke.
"You're right! The Organization has cool points to it as well!" Kenji spoke.
"Well, it's been decided! We are now the Organization."
Ren, Rei and Hana watched from afar.
"That fight was really interesting..!" Hana spoke.
"Thanks to me, of course..!" Ren spoke.
"Because I TOLD YOU to do that." Rei stares, sighing as they looked.
"An upcoming threat..there's a LOT of problems.."
"Well, the Organization can deal with it! They're all pretty powerful!" Hana spoke.
"I guess you're right." Ren looked at Kenji.
"Pretty powerful."
