Chapter One: Screw You Rain
Ao POV:
I really really hate the rain, so much that it could be described as hating it with every fiber of my being or at least a quarter of it. Pretty ironic considering my abilities are pretty much all based on lightning which has a pretty strong connection to rain. But anyway I was inside a random bar in the capital drowning my sorrows in a mug of beer in the corner of the tavern. I have electric blue eyes because of my supernatural abilities which my teacher called the mark of the demon for some stupid reason, I don't really get stuff like that. I have jet black hair with small bangs hanging down my forehead and a black bandana covering most of my hair on the top of my head. I'm about 5 feet and 9 inches tall and a have a sword scabbard on my back holding my special sword which is able to conduct lightning fairly well, so I named it Storm-Bringer.
" Closing time," I heard the man at the bar announced and turned my gaze over to him " Everyone has to go now."
" But what about the mysterious mass murder out there," argued one of the more sober customers " Something could happen."
" Well then that's your fault for staying out so late isn't it." Argued the bartender in a snide kind of tone.
Before any fight broke out I tuned out everyone to leave to my inner ramblings and strode outside the bar. I walked down a couple alleys trying to avoid the guards because there was a curfew. I scaled a building in order to get a better view of where the guards were so I could just run as fast as I could and get over to the inn I was staying at. Even though there is a curfew owners of bars and inns don't care if you go or leave late because all they want is a good amount of coin.
I saw a few narrow alleys that would let me get to the inn I was staying at for the week in about a minute with moderate speed. I jumped downward and sent lightning down to my legs to increase my natural speed. My abilities don't only give me lightning as offensive attacks but improves my natural abilities like pain tolerance, natural strength, speed, or even hearing. I could also sent my power to certain part of my body and increase the strength in that body part, not only did it allow to hit harder or run faster but to heal most injuries as long as I didn't lose the limb or die because those are things I can't recover.
I bolted through the streets going so fast that I passed two blocks in about a second and arrived at the inn only moments later but something caught my attention first. There was a big guy in a trench coat running through the streets with a brown haired kid running after him. The kid looked to be about my age and the big guy might've been his dad but since things were so bad recently I stopped to investigate.
I decelerated and followed the kid silently. When I saw him turn a corner I quickly scurried up a wall to my left and turned to look at the street the kid was on. I saw the guy ahead of him running towards the river and followed silently and quietly on the rooftop taking care not to make noise and stay behind the kid.
I followed them for a couple minutes and I saw the big guy stop in the middle of a small area that people usually stopped at to look at river on the sunset or rise. The kid hugged him for some reason and I could only watch confused at their exchange. The kid quickly jumped back after the big guy said something. I wonder what he said to the kid to get him to jump back and draw his sword out of its scabbard.
I watched as the guy described whatever he was doing or was going to do to the kid. I'm a pretty bad lip reader but I made out a few words like Teigu and his name, Zank. The kid quickly engaged Zank in battle and with a trained stance tried to slashed at him. At first it might've looked fine but one could obviously tell the kid was inexperienced. The big guy seemed pretty disciplined but what really surprised me was how easily he read the kids movements and avoided them.
The big guy and the kid had another exchange of dialogue about the weird thing on the guy's head, what I could mostly get out of reading their lips was something about the big guy, Zank, being able to read the kid's mind. I silently watched noting how Zank moved and once I saw the kid go down that was when I made my move.
I manifested a lance made out of lightning and launched it at Zank, he jumped back, barely avoided the lethal blow. I quickly put power into my legs and made a massive leap to stand between the kid and Zank.
" Zank The Executioner I presume," I asked in a cheeky voice " I thought you'd be taller."
" Happy happy another one to play with." He didn't seem to hear my previous statement or probably just brushed it to the side considering he was actually extremely tall and towered over me.
" Enough talk, fight time now." I responded in a goofy tone to try and throw it off and pulled Stormbringer out of its scabbard and got into a stance.
He didn't respond and just smiled then charged at me I dodged to the left but he turned at the last moment and lashed out with his two giant wrist blades. I blocked both strikes and quickly slashed at one of his arms but he was already jumping back so I pressed the attack.
" Hahaha," He seemed to be pretty much having an orgasm right now " You'll never win like that, I can read your movements, if you don't think of something you'll die quickly."
I didn't respond to that and just sent power into my legs and arms to go faster and hit harder. He seemed caught off guard by the burst in speed and strength I showed. He blocked one of my strikes but I kicked with my left leg and sent him skidding back ten feet.
" It seems i'll have to use it." He said in a mysterious tone as the eye on his forehead glowed. Afterwards what didn't confuse me was him disappearing but another person appearing in his stead, but what caught my eye most was that it was my old teacher who had away two years ago.
I wasn't fooled for a second as I just channeled more power through my entire body and lashed out with my sword after I cleared the distance before anyone could blink and struck him across the chest with all my strength.
" How," was all he questioned " How could you cut down the one you love the most?"
" One, don't say what you can do to your opponent in battle it's just incredibly stupid," I responded " And two, the person who was most precious to me passed away two years ago."
" I see," was all he said " However the voices have stopped, they've finally stopped, thank you."
He then passed away from blood loss and I just glanced at the kid seeing nothing there, shocked I looked around to see if he had just limped away somewhere. I didn't see any blood or him for that matter anywhere, and only thought came to my mind about him leaving.
" I really frickin' hate mondays."
Review if you liked the first chapter to my parallel story to Vengeful Pheonix. Ao will play a pretty big party in my demon mark storyline of Akame Ga Kill and he will also appear in Vengeful Pheonix at some point. Also please tell me if I messed up no something or could improve on something because i'd really like to know what I did wrong or what you think of the first chapter to my second story.
