After I realized that Amaterasu wouldn't have a sequel, I was quite mad. I saw the ending where they were arriving to the Plains and got an idea to create a story about this. Mind you a character is in this story, Morisondo. This was his first appearance in all of my story ideas and this is his True original form.
ENJOY!
The Ark of Yamato soared towards the Celestial plains, gaining speed with every inch they traveled. The Plains appeared and the ship, reaching its' destination, began to slow down, but Waka didn't do it soon enough, and the Ark crashed into the ground, crashing to a halt after digging up quite a bit of the dirt that was there. Waka and Amaterasu looked outside and saw the Celestial Plains, the once great sky paradise, reduced to rubble and destruction. The houses that occupied the Plains were destroyed, singed with unearthly fire. The lush grassy plains, used for the grazing of the animals, were burnt and withered. The trees that once bared the fruit of the gods were all uprooted and withered, like the plants. Most statues, shrines, and pedestals that represented the gods that inhabited the place were crumbling and many destroyed completely. The two looked at each other and walked towards the ruins of the once great Celestial Castle. Waka scanned the area, his golden hair, waving in the slight breeze that trailed from the mountains. Amaterasu sniffed around and howled as she reached the castle gate. Her howl echoed through the empty halls.
"There is no one here... Amaterasu." said Waka softly, kneeling beside her, placing his hand on her head. Then, there was a sound from their side and they looked to see a little girl, about the age of four or five, hiding behind the pillar. Waka walked forward to her and she sunk in deeper as he approached. He knelt when he saw her recoil and took his helmet off and smiled at her. Her eyes twinkled once she saw Amaterasu and she disappeared behind the pillar and reappeared on the other side, looking at Amaterasu. She giggled once Amaterasu sneezed and she tip-toed out and approached Amaterasu. She reached a hand out and Amaterasu lowered her head so the girl could touch her scalp. She giggled more and then ran to the end of the hall and disappeared. The two shrugged and followed her, a cold draft hitting them as they passed. They rounded the corner and saw her run down another hall. They continued to follow, looking at the walls. They once held portraits of the sixteen Brush Gods and, of course, Amaterasu. The two saw light at the end of the corridor and rounded the corner and the light disappeared behind a portrait. The two walked to it and it was a large painting of the old celestial plains, before tragedy struck. Waka placed his hand on it and swung it open, and immediately, an arrow shot out, a powerful rush of air following. Waka leapt aside and the arrow soared past the two and the dust and ash on the floor whipped up and curled in the air. The arrow collided with the wall, crushing it and sending dust and rubble everywhere. Waka pulled his flute out and spun it rapidly in his right hand. He grabbed the bottom with his left and his sword shot out, gleaming in the sunlight. Amaterasu growled, and lowered to the ground, her reflector Divine Retribution, came to life hovering above her back.
"I know that symbol… it's of the sun Goddess, Amaterasu... Amaterasu… so you have returned..." came a feminine voice from the back of the portrait. A tall, slender woman walked out, her white hair reflecting the sunlight. Her hair fell to her upper back, and was parted in the front, forming a V. Her skin was pale, due to the loss of sunlight, and she wore a long red and white dress that was tight around the waist, and her eyes were blue and green. When she walked out Amaterasu relaxed and sat down, in slight confusion at hearing her name. Waka lowered his guard and placed the blade of his sword to the ground and bowed down, one knee on the ground.
"Princess Celestial. It is I, Waka, and I have brought Amaterasu back to the Plains..." he said, looking up at her. "We have traveled from The Land of the Living, after disposing of the evil that lay there." She looked at him and then at Amaterasu.
"And what of Yami? Surely he was on the Ark as you two were. And what became of Orochi, Ninetails, Blight, the Spider Queen, Nechku and Lechku, and the Crimson Helm?" she asked, her hair brushing her face.
"Orochi had followed Amaterasu, after she fearlessly slayed him after the two were unsealed. The Crimson Helm followed as well. The spider Queen had captured a Dog by the name of Ume and Amaterasu went to go retrieve the canine warrior. Ninetails was eliminated as well." Waka replied. The princess tilted her head slightly.
"And what of Nechku and Lechku?" she asked.
"While being possessed statues of the evil demons of time, their souls were not strong enough to keep the bodies after such a severe beating. Once she defeated them, they dropped their dismantled and wrecked bodies and ran off. They were not seen again…" Waka said, standing up. Amaterasu was looking outside at the Plains, sniffing the air. Then she saw trough a hole in the wall, on a cursed hill of dead plants and skulls, a tree that was apparently guarded by a mysterious force. She barked constantly to get Wakas attention and then pointed with her paw at the tree. Waka looked at it and looked at the princess.
"How long has that tree been there milady?" he said, and the princess frowned.
"It has been there forever, but just recently that fruit has appeared. We have run low on food and we wish to harvest it, as it looks so plentiful. But…" she says, and Amaterasu runs forward to the tree, but when she reaches the hole, purple electricity meet her and zapped her continuously, until she was thrown back. She smashed against a wall and it cracked. She slid down it and slumped at the ground, weakly getting back up.
"A curse has been placed on our land by Orochi, just before Amaterasu dragged him to the land of mortals." She closed her eyes and a earsplitting scream came from the shadows of the portrait. A girl came running out, followed by hoards of green imps equipped with bamboo sticks. They leapt from the hole in the wall in waves, and the Celestials, Waka, and Amaterasu began to fight back. The imps screeched as Kiro, the Celestial Archer, shot arrows at them, vengeance slips attached to them. The Imps writhed and flailed, smoke billowing from their wounds as the vengeance slip entered their body. They howled and fell to the ground with a dull thud. Waka spun Pillow Talk and placed his free hand to the bottom of the sword, and put it vertically, then horizontally across his body and pulled his other Kanata out and began to slice at the imps, their bamboo sticks being sliced in two. He leapt around, spinning in the air, his swords facing outward cutting the imps they touched.
Amaterasu growled and Thunder Edge came out and the energy flowed through her body, energizing her. The blade was a bright shiny gold color, with some red and orange colors filtering through it as if the two were liquids running over the blade. It had small handle like objects that circled the light blue-grey cloud that was in the center. The cloud was hissing with electricity and it periodically pumped out bolts of lighting that jumped and danced across and around the blade. She closed her eyes and put one of her paws forward. With the other ones she slid them back a few inches and crouched down. Twelve imps leapt to attack her and she opened her eyes and Thunder Edge shone brightly electricity licking the ground and the imps. She spun around, and the sword tagged along, flying away from her body and then recoiling back to strike the other side. The sword was zapping and slashing the imps, the static crackling in the air, emitting more energy. She leapt in the air and spun the sword around and slammed it in to the ground. The electricity and energy that was expelled from the sword had a sort of ripple effect. The lightning zigzagged on the floor and shot up to pass through the imps masks. The imps cringed and then flipped in the air and crashed into the ground, only to get hit with more electricity. Amaterasu roared and the electricity stopped and formed into thirteen identical electrical tentacles. Her eyes glowed yellow and she roared and electricity shot from her mouth. The first tentacle unsheathed a sword from it and slashed down at a group of Imps, cutting them in half. The next one turned to a match and began to set the imps on fire.
"Amaterasu! It has to be the curse! She is being effected by it!" shouted a Celestial, as one of the arms formed a sake bottle and mist poured from it. Bombs were falling from the air, sending many imps flying into walls, causing them to crash down and start a couple blazing fires. Water rushed in from the sudden downpour and pelted the imps with unearthly force. She howled one last time and the arms formed one and shot towards the fruit on the tree. It met the curse barrier and the electricity of the two met and crackled and shot bolts everywhere. The heavenly lightning shot through the barrier and cut the fruits stem. It landed on the ground and burst open. A bright green beam of light shot from the core of the fruit. The beam shot into the clouds and widened. The beam hit the tree and then disappeared.
"That was our only hope for the regeneration of the Celestial plains…" said Waka, breathing heavily. Then, out of the clouds, hundreds of bright green flashes came, and began to emit a beam of light, which wound its' way to the ground. The beams splashed onto the ground, and droplets of life spread. The trees roots dug back into the ground and blossomed. The flowers flourished and the greenness of the grass broke from the bitter brown shell that covered it. The murky rivers began to clear up, their light blue originality returning. The wave of life made its' way to the ruins of the Plains and crashed through the walls. The holes in the walls had their bricks reassembled into them, even from dust. The houses rose up in a whirlwind, rebuilding themselves like a puzzle. The castle halls lit up with the torches, the holes disappeared, and the darkness thickened. The draft that was once there, was gone, and the castle warmed up. They ran to look outside, as the statues, pedestals and temples shone brightly and stood tall once again. The cherry blossoms were twirling in the air, swaying until they reached the ground as the princess cried in joy with the others.
"Our home is back! We can finally come out from hiding!" shouted Kiro, throwing his bow into the air. The others began to cheer as Amaterasu ran to the tree, after seeing a faint pink glow.
"Amaterasu Amaterasu." said Sakuya, smiling at the goddess as she approached. Her black hair waved in the wind, her cleavage still visible, and her figure the same. Her clothes were different though. She wore a green ribbon around herself.
"You have once again, brought life to the place that needs it the most. I am grateful to know you still are determined to make the world a better place." she smiled again, and Amaterasu jumped up and down, barking happily. Sakuya giggled at that and Waka walked over, putting his Kanata away, along with Pillow talk. He bowed to her and she bowed back.
"King Waka of the Moon Tribe. I am glad to see you are alright, after your confrontation with the Lord of Darkness." She said, and Waka nodded. Amaterasu was about to get a drink of water from the river, when a roar came from the distance, that shook the trees, made the rocks dance on the ground, and shook everything violently. The three looked above the Sapling, and saw a large Shadowy figure, with five heads. The eyes were glowing red and a eerie purple and black glow surrounded it. The sun was consumed by darkness for the three when the demon approached. Middle one growled as the other ones surrounded the three, their necks resting on the ground. Amaterasu crouched down, her reflector, Infinity Judge, came out and it began to snap together like a puzzle and shone brightly when the last piece was placed in. The Demon roared and the roar itself was strong enough to launch her into the air and send her crashing into a river, water splashing everywhere. Waka pulled Pillow Talk out again and leapt forward and struck one of the heads, only for a metal clang to ring out. He was thrown back and held his arm, for the vibration was still ringing through his arm. The demon rose its' head to strike, when a navy blue ball flew towards the demon and hit the side of its' face. The ball exploded and sent a tower of smoke horizontally, and the demon roared in pain. It looked at where it came from and another one shot out and hit the other heads. They writhed and then disappeared in a burst of purple smoke. The smoke was very thick and made the others cough harshly. They looked at where the attacks came from and there was no one. Waka ran to the river and dove in to retrieve Amaterasu, who was trying to swim towards the surface. He grabbed her and swam up slowly, as Amaterasu was heavy even under the water. His head broke the surface of the water and he placed Amaterasu onto the ground and leapt out. He breathed deeply and looked at Amaterasu.
"Well, looks like our job here is not yet finished…" he began and then heard drumming. He slowly looked behind him, the moon was rising and he could see flames in the distance. He slowly rose to his feet, his eyes widening. The drumming got louder and he saw, coming over the hills, twelve yellow imps, beating down on their drums. They marched up the hills and they were followed by seven hundred and fifty green imps, equipped with steel swords, axes, lances, and five carried flag. what was written on the flags was unsure, it was unfamiliar to Waka. The imps marched along and some blue imps flew in the sky, bombs attacked to their waists. They soared behind the green imps and some red imps, carrying some cannons on their backs.
"Dear Kami…" muttered Waka, as the army of imps approached the city. He scooped up Amaterasu and rushed to the city. The others saw him running and he shouted to them,
"Close the gates! Hurry! There is an army of imps approaching from the west!" the Celestials ran to the gates and screamed when they saw the army. They began to close the heavy wooden doors and Kiro started to lock the door with every thing he could. Some Celestials were using their magic that they possessed to procure a sort of barrier to the door and walls, but they were weak and could barely create one.
"That won't hold for long…" came a deep, voice from behind the Celestials. The Princess looked and saw a jet black wolf as it sat there, looking at her then at the Arc. He then ran to the wall and went through it as if the stone wall was made of water just as his nose hit it. Waka looked at the princes and she was shaking, and trembling with the rest of the Celestials.
"N-no.. it can't be..."
"MORI!"
