Darkness.

Deep, deep within a the boundary, would be a girl. She was curled up in the fetal position, her arms slung loosely around her legs. One eye would be covered with an eye patch, a red screw head looking accent to it. Her eyes would be closed, as she slowly floated within the deep nothingness, yet ocean of everything. The boundary. She seemed to float, like an aquatic mammal within water. Her rest undisturbed by anything, the echoing silence that surrounded her.

As she floated within the boundary, on the line between the Azure and the gate, the boundary spoke to the girl. The Azure communicating with the Prime Field Device, Nu 13. It spoke to her, it's wordless story. One of the endless possibilities of the continuum shift. Separated from the Master Unit, within a bubble of her own thoughts, feelings and imagination, the Murakumo Unit would listen to the words of the Azure. The words came to her as though they were a dream, a wordless communication that spoke directly to the soul. The communication would soon stir within the artificial entity, the feelings that were once stolen from them by the scientists of the Mitsurugi Agency.

Within the heart of the cold, robotic girl, a story would play out. A green haired male would be seen, walking through a meadow. They had just woken up from slumber. The spectator was washed through with worry. Although they did not know this person, clad in an Orange garb with black patterns across the back, there was a flush of relief to see them up and moving. With rosy cheeks and a big smile, the spectator would advance, moving closer to the male. They were running. A sensation unfelt by the Murakumo. Feet, patting against the ground with every step. They would turn to the spectator, with a smile across their face.

Just another possibility of the Continuum Shift.


"... Terumi."

The single word would send shivers down the spines of those who dared come near. The Susano'o Unit stood before the figure clad in black. A laugh would shriek through the area, ringing in the ears of the White Samurai-esque warrior. Hakumen had his Ookami drawn, holding the blade to point towards Terumi. Terumi couldn't contain himself.

"Oh, come now Hakky. You should know. The way you are now, you are nothing but a shitty BUG UNDER MY SHOE! KYAHAHAHAHA!~"

Hakumen would charge, without saying another word. He would raise the Ookami above his head and bring it down towards Terumi, who simply threw up a Balisong knife towards the huge blade. The two would parry, sparks flying from the encounter. Terumi would slide backwards across the floor, and Hakumen would continue his assault. The Kanji for lotus would appear within a sphere that surrounded the middle part of Hakumen. Alongside this, he would dash forward, the hilt of Ookami aiming for the intestinal area of his foe.

"BORING!"

Terumi would shout this to the Six Heroes Counterpart, backstepping from the attack. The attack had just barely missed him, Terumi slightly misjudging the distance. However, Terumi would lean forward as though he were setting off for a sprint. A green serpentine like seithr formation would surround him, as he dashed towards Hakumen. This caught Hakumen off guard, the serpentine attack moving faster than what Hakumen thought it would. It would pierce the armoured opponent, causing multiple lacerations to the black, weaker looking parts of the armour.

"Guah-"

Hakumen would get thrown backwards, towards a waiting Terumi. Hakumen would emergency roll mid air, landing behind Terumi. He would take this chance to slice below him, aiming a slice with the over-sized blade. The connection would force Terumi onto the ground, his legs buckling from the attack. He would then, again, use the lotus Technique, hitting Terumi in the back. Terumi would fly in the other direction and scrape across the ground. He would push his palm against the ground, rolling up and landing on his feet.

Hakumen would take this chance, using the distance gained to attempt to charge Time Killer.

"Oh ho ho, NO YOU DON'T YOU LITTLE SHIT!"

Terumi would scream. He would cross his arms in front of him. Hakumen didn't see the move coming, not having full knowledge on Terumi himself using the Ouroboros.

"Ouroboros!"

And with that, Terumi would throw his left arm towards Hakumen, followed by his right. The usual chains from the Nox Nyctores would fly towards Hakumen, grabbing him and locking him in place. Terumi would then pull him, bringing Hakumen up into the air. He would then pull himself up, kicking Hakumen. He would then throw the Ouroboros towards him again, repeating the kick and flying above Hakumen. He would then charge down, the Serpentine seithr formation exploding outwards with Hakumen at the centre. He would get thrown outwards. Although it didn't do much visibly, the Jin Kisaragi underneath the mask felt the blows. Using his Willpower and the strength of the Susano'o Unit, he would stand back up, regaining his fighting pose.

"Come, Terumi."


The sound of metal, clashing together could be heard all around. As the Balisong knives clashed with the Ookami, a very distinct laughter could be heard. Hakumen, only at 20% of his power was battling against Yuuki Terumi. His body felt good. Great even. Hakumen's individual strength had started to waver, struggling to keep up with the Yuuki Terumi of old. Taking a back step, he would lift the Ookami into the air, energy charging around the blade.

"Empty Sky Form: Summer's Advance!"

He would bring the sword down towards his foe, his foe simply walking towards Hakumen. A grin would be plastered across the face of Yuuki Terumi, overly smug and confident. He would be seen swinging a chain in his hand. A small chain with no head, unlike the usual Ouroboros chains.

"Oh come on now, Jin Kisaragi!"

Terumi would have disappeared from sight, appearing behind the leader of the Six Heroes. Hakumen would find chains, wrapping themselves around his legs, independent to Terumi Himself. They would coil around, stopping his movement. A grunt of shock would be heard from the suit of armour, as two snakes would slice through the suit of armour, causing an implosion within the coils and Hakumen getting thrown back. Terumi would laugh, a very sinister laugh.

"This can't be all you've got!"

Suddenly, Terumi would freeze. He would feel every muscle in his body seized up, not allowing any movement whatsoever. He soon realised what was happening, and managed to find the strength to shout out his frustration.

"God damn you, Glasses!"

Taking this chance, Hakumen would spring to his feet. Battered and bruised, he would take this opportunity to finally finish Terumi off. For good.

"I am the white void. I am the cold steel. I am the just sword. With blade in hand shall I reap the sins of this world and cleanse it in the fires of destruction. I am Hakumen. The end has come!"

Hakumen, pushing his body and the Susano'o unit to it's limits, he would charge up the Time Killer technique. Hakumen was not about to let this chance go. The chance to end Terumi once and for all, thanks to Trinity.

However, while still charging the Technique, a distortion within the air around them would cause Seithr to uncontrollably fly around the room, picked up by the air. A circle would appear on the floor, as Space became distorted within that small area. From within, another circle would fly upwards, two circles around 7 foot apart. Blades would fly in Hakumen's direction, blades that were synonymous with only one person. Blades would surround Hakumen, appearing from circles all around him. They would fly into and stab into the Susano'o unit, piercing the near invulnerable armour. The combination of Terumi's beating and the mystery attack had taken it beyond it's capabilities. He was forced to stop the charging of Time Eater, as a hand clad in a light blue/purple body suit would reach out towards Terumi, a blade across the forearm. Not taking another second to hesitate, Terumi used his remaining strength to reach out for the hand, not particular about who this was considering they were saving him from a possible early stage exit.

He would get pulled through the distortion, Hakumen collapsing to the floor and Trinity no longer able to help.
