Chapter 1: The New Shining One
-Normal P.O.V-
"It has been five years when it happened, and it is that fast on how humans have vastly changed, days are fast to come by and everything can change in the blink on an eye this time around and yet the humans have failed to change and thus, the second judgment has come." Alcor said while looking down on the people from a building.
"I should find Hibiki and asked for his aid once again." Alcor stood up but before he could leave, he was surprised that there was a boy behind him and curiously asked "Who are you?" the mysterious boy just smiled.
~At Aichi's School~
"I just made a mess at school" he sighed and readied his things to go to Card Capital.
Unknown to Aichi, someone was following him, to be more specific two people were following him and eyeing him, the other was his classmate Ishida and the other is Alcor.
"Good Afternon!" Aichi said before going inside Card Capital, as Ishida followed suit.
A fight has begun between the two and as it got through the climax Unbeknownst to Ishida, he was already enjoying the CardFight.
At the end of the game, Ishida rushed out of the store not understanding what he felt on the battle, at the same time Aichi was feeling discouraged but thanks to Kai's words, Aichi became passionate about giving a helping hand to Ishida.
Outside the store, Alcor was closely observing Aichi and the others around him "So this is the kind of person he is."
~The Next Day~
At Aichi's school, Aichi cannot believe what he has seen on his own eyes, Kourin was in front of him, in his school!
"Um… I… Uh…" Aichi stuttered when Kourin was now in front of him.
"It's been a while, Aichi Sendou" Kourin greeted back.
"Yes… It's been a long time!" Aichi's face lit up knowing that it is all right but Aichi suddenly felt glares and thought to a conclusion that this is not going to be easy for him.
~The Next Day~
Aichi was determined and started to search for members for a new club, while passing by Kourin noticed Aichi handing flyers, hearing from Aichi that he was going to establish a club she immediately joined, and of course her fans too, but Kourin immediately thought of an idea to prevent unserious people from joining the club.
"Let's see where this is going to…" Alcor said from a faraway place.
At lunch break they started, after that Ishida came last wanted to join Vanguard he fought Kourin, revealing a part of the past that Ishida knew Aichi before and wanted to repent for the mistakes he did on the past and with those feelings welling up, Ishida won and was now a member and especially a new friend of Aichi.
"Interesting…" Alcor said still carefully observing Aichi.
~The Next Day~
On the next day, it was a fan boy, Shingo Komoi, who idolizes Aichi.
"Looks like someone doesn't agree with this…" Alcor said cupping his chin with his hand.
"Hm… I think my observation is finished for today, might as well ask for someone's assistance." Alcor said faintly vanishing.
~Moments later at a certain place~
"Hello, Hibiki, how long has it been?" Alcor said smiling to the person in front of him.
"Alcor!" Hibiki said in shocked.
"I need your assistance once again Hibiki, will you lend me your hand?" Alcor said reaching out a hand.
~The Next Next Day (Again)~
"Another day has begun… I wonder what is going to happen… today" Alcor said, watching Aichi again from a distant.
"It's months before the trials for judgment day will begin, but before that I need to look for a promising shining one, and someone has suggested him to be the one that will help us get through this trials, and so before that day I need to get ready." Alcor said,
After that day, he watched Aichi and his friends starting from forming and the trials of making the CardFight club official, to the VF High School Championship has made Alcor come to a decision and he will be starting his plans "I found you… Shining One".
~The Next Day (After the VF HS Championship)~
"Aichi I have a favor to ask…" Shizuka, Aichi's mother, called from the kitchen.
"Can you buy this appliance on the market? Same brand okay oh and test it before buying it. Oh… and please buy some things while you are there, here is the list." Shizuka handed out a list and then gave Aichi some money.
"I'll be going then." Aichi said before leaving.
However, before going to the market Aichi decided to say hi to his friends at Card Capital first.
"Hello everyone!" Aichi greeted to his friends.
"Oh, there he is, we've been waiting for you." Naoki said while approaching Aichi.
"Oh, sorry I have some errands to do at home so I'm afraid I won't be able to cardfight with you guys today." Aichi said placing his hand behind his head.
"Oh, then we'll come with you!" Shingo immediately responded.
"Okay then." After the hello's and goodbye's Naoki and Shingo accompanied Aichi to the market to buy the things that was listed on the list.
"Hey guys what brings you here?" A person from behind them said.
They turned to find out that it was Miwa and Kai "Yo!" Miwa greeted.
"Miwa-kun! Kai-kun!" Aichi said in delight.
"Well we were helping Aichi to buy some things so here we are." Naoki said pointing to what Aichi was holding.
"Oh, groceries?!" Miwa said while looking at Aichi's shopping list.
"Well we just finished so mind if we help you?" Miwa said looking at Kai that just sighed.
"Sure! That would be great." Aichi said smiling at Miwa and Kai.
While walking through the market, Miwa started a conversation "Hey have you heard of Nicaea?"
"Nicaea?" Aichi repeated in confusion.
"Oh, are you talking about the death clip thingy?" Naoki said searching for his phone.
"Oh, the one you told me the other day, the one that you can watch how your friend's death will be." Shingo added information.
Aichi cringed at the word death, and Kai looked at Aichi who seems to be bothered because of it.
"Hey Aichi do you want me to register you?" Naoki offered handing out his hand to Aichi.
"It's just an application Aichi, there is nothing to be afraid of, I mean think about it, how are they going to film something like that when they didn't even know us." Miwa pointed.
Aichi is having second thoughts until "I have one too." Kai said showing his phone to Aichi.
"Oh, so that is Nicaea, hm… okay but how" Aichi said holding out his phone.
"Let me" Naoki said.
"Here" Aichi said handing his phone to Naoki.
"First you need to get the application and then take a picture." Shingo informed.
"Done…" Naoki finished and gave Aichi's phone back.
"Oh… so this is Nicaea." Aichi said in amazement.
~Noon~
It was already noon and Aichi finally finished his shopping, he pointed to himself what a relief bumping into Kai and Miwa, because if It wasn't for Kai he would've been scammed, as they finished they stopped by at a restaurant to eat lunch.
While eating Aichi, thought that he had to thank Kai at some point about earlier "Uh… Um… K-Kai-kun, thank you… about earlier" he finally said and looked at Kai uneasily.
"It was nothing," Kai simply said but the truth he was happy to be of help.
After finishing they decided to stay for a while to rest "Excuse me, I'll be going to the restroom" Aichi excused himself.
While walking, Aichi accidentally bumped into someone "Ah… Sorry!" Aichi said and looked at the person in front of him, a guy with black short wavy hair and blue eyes and is wearing a white with blue stripped jacket with a hood with a long rabbit-like ears and is wearing a black turtleneck with blue trousers and dark navy snickers.
"Oh, It's alright I didn't see you" The guy said.
"Oi Hibiki, move a little you're in the way!" Another person showed up with short dark brown hair and brown eyes wearing a yellow scarf with a black t-shirt and white coat with gray trousers and yellow snickers.
"Oh Daichi, sorry, I accidentally bumped into someone." The now identified person named Hibiki turned to see his friend.
"Oh yeah my name is Hibiki Kuze, nice to meet you and again sorry!"
"I'm Daichi Shijima Nice to meet you!"
"Oh, I'm Aichi Sendou nice to meet you Hibiki-san, Daichi-san!" Aichi bowed.
After going to the rest room, Aichi decided to introduce the others to them.
"Oh… so you're all high school students I forgot to say that we are already graduated in college." Hibiki said.
"Amazing…" Aichi muttered in shocked.
"Really?" Hibiki curiously looked at Aichi.
"Uh… Uhm… well… ehehe…" Aichi stuttered feeling awkward all of a sudden.
"So what brings you here?" Naoki asked.
"Oh, we were just hanging out and then we got hungry so here we are." Daichi said.
"And after that?" Shingo added.
"Hmm… we don't have anything in plan." Daichi answered.
"Do you guys have looked for a job or even have a job?" Kai asked bluntly and Miwa just gave him "Seriously?" a stare "What?"
"Well we were thinking of getting a job after taking a break from all of those." Daichi said.
While they were talking, Hibiki was fiddling with something so he hasn't been joining the conversation but he is listening.
"Oh, hey is it okay if we exchange e-mails and phone numbers?" Hibiki asked.
"Ohh… that's a great idea!" Aichi said in delight.
After exchanging numbers…
"So what are you guys planning to do next?" Miwa asked.
"What do you think?" Daichi asked while looking at Hibiki questioningly.
Hibiki was thinking of something in mind so he was occupied on his thinking.
"Hibi-" Daichi was cut off by Aichi.
"Vanguard…" Aichi said.
"Oh, yeah, I wanted to learn that can you teach us." Daichi said smiling at Hibiki.
"That is another reason that we came…" Hibiki said smiling.
"Good, then let's head to Card Capital then" Naoki said in excitement.
"Oh, wait I can't go straight there." Aichi said looking at his groceries.
"Oh yeah… I completely forgot about that." Naoki said scratching his head.
"We'll help you take them home with you as sorry for a little while back and thanks for you guys willing to teach us Vanguard" Hibiki said offering a hand to Aichi.
"Really? Thanks!" Aichi said.
"So we'll head straight there and wait for you then." Naoki said.
Miwa looked at Kai giving him a "So obvious" look "Worried?"
"Hmph" was all that Kai said but the truth is…
"I think I know what you're thinking… hmm…" Miwa peered into Kai's eyes trying to read what he was thinking.
"Aha!" Miwa already knew but was just teasing him "You're thinking that Aichi always trust people so easily am I right?"
Kai looked away at Miwa and looked at Hibiki's direction.
"Suspicious" Kai muttered.
Miwa heard it and then "Hey, Aichi can Ka-" but was stopped by Kai's glare.
"What is it Miwa-kun?" Aichi looked at Miwa while handing out a bag of grocery to Hibiki.
"…Just head to Card Capital when you finish!" Miwa just said raising a hand.
"Hey, uh… why am I the one to be carrying this?" Daichi said objecting.
"It's alright Daichi you can take it." Hibiki said patting Daichi's shoulder.
"I guess I don't have a choice." Daichi said in defeat.
"Let's go!" Miwa said.
"Goodbye, Sendou-kun!" Shingo said, in anime tears.
"He is not going to die or anything so why you crying? And seriously "goodbye" not "see you later" sheesh." Naoki said walking ahead.
Hibiki flinched at the word death and Daichi noticed it giving a worried look.
"Shut up, Porcupine head!" Shingo retaliated.
"What was that Granny Glasses" Naoki hit back.
"And it is start!" Miwa said grinning.
They could still hear the bickering even they are far away already.
"So let's get going." Aichi said.
The two nodded and started to walk heading to Aichi's place.
~A Few Hours Later~
"Thank you for helping me." Aichi said while bowing and was now in front of their house.
"No worries." Hibiki said smiling.
Aichi reached for the door and before Aichi could open it someone has already opened it for him.
"Oh my, Aichi you're late I was beginning to get worried." Shizuka said and noticed other two people behind him.
"My, are they new friends of your Aichi?" Shizuka said looking at the said people.
"Yeah, mom, here are the things you want me to buy, oh, please come in Hibiki-san, Daichi-san." Aichi said while gesturing them to follow him inside the house.
"Sorry for the intrusion." Hibiki and Daichi both said in unison.
"What, it's this late. Men time flies when you are enjoying." Daichi shouted.
"What time is it anyway?" Hibiki went to Daichi.
"It's 5pm…" Daichi pointed at a wall clock.
"I thought you would come back home fast so I got worried and Emi also so she took off and headed to Card Capital to ask, and then I found out that you were with friends so I wasn't a little anymore." Shizuka said worriedly while organizing the groceries that Aichi bought.
"I'm sorry mom I completely forgot to call, I enjoyed too much that I forgot about making a call." Aichi said resting one of his hands to his nape.
Hibiki smiled at the scene and Daichi noticed being best friends he knows so Daichi placed a hand on his shoulder smiling at him.
"By the way would you two like to spend dinner here?" Shizuka said looking at the two.
"Not it's okay, we just helped Aichi and-." Hibiki said but cut off by Emi.
"Aichi, where were you? Mom and I was so worried!" Emi said in an angry tone.
"Sorry Emi!" Aichi raised two hands in defence.
"Sorry? That's it? Hmm… I don't know what I would do with you?!" Emi said crossing her arms.
"I think it was our fault, sorry!" Hibiki said.
Emi forgot that there were other people there "Oh no it's okay! The thing that matters is that he is safe and thank you for helping Aichi" Emi said bowing slightly.
"It's no problem!" Daichi said raising a hand.
"Aichi?" Hibiki said in questioningly.
"Huh?" Emi tilted her head a little.
"Ah… uhm… anyway have dinner with us, I'll just call everyone on card capital that I won't be able to come." Aichi offered and made his call.
"Well then that's settled I'll go in and prepare and then let's eat in a moment." Shizuka happily said.
~After a while~
"Thank you for the food." They all said in unison.
"Thank you for the meal Shizuka-san it was very delicious." Hibiki thanked.
"I'm glad you like it." Shizuka said standing up from her seat.
"I'll help you there mom." Aichi offered.
"Oh, let us help too." Hibiki also stood up and helped Aichi and Shizuka.
~After a while~
"Thank you for having us here, we'll be going now!" Hibiki bowed but before he could leave.
"Wait!" Aichi stopped the two.
"This time I'll help, you might get lost so I'll accompany you out." Aichi said readying himself.
"But…" Hibiki and Daichi looked at each other.
"I insist." Aichi said now in front of them.
"We'll I guess we have no choice, thank you." Hibiki said.
"We'll be going now." Aichi said and then left.
"Take care! Aichi come back quickly and safe." Shizuka waved.
Aichi, Hibiki and Daichi was walking silently out the streets when…
*Ring* *Ring* they stopped on their tracks "It's Time…" -?
"Huh? That was odd we all got mail at the same time." Aichi reached for his pocket and checked his phone.
"…they do send clips." Aichi said worriedly however surprisingly they are the only ones that got the death clip.
"Hibiki-san and Daichi-san…" Aichi muttered.
The two looked at Aichi and showed their phone with his name attached on the video of the death clip.
Aichi gulped hard and looked at Hibiki and Daichi, The two understood that he was scared so they nodded at each other and opened the clip.
The clip showed a chained accident with them caught in it and few other people involved other than them.
Hibiki and Daichi looked away remembering bitter past and what was upon them, regaining Nicaea brought Daichi's memories back of that struggle five years prior.
Looking at Aichi, they feared for the boy's future. At first glance, they could tell he was a fragile person so they waited until Aichi got the courage and strength to watch the clip.
Aichi was watching the two and then he got the message that it was his turn to watch the clip. It showed a car losing control hitting anything that comes on its way, then come to a stop when it hits on a tree, the tree being not that big broke, and landed on the ground and then a truck unfortunately was passing by and lost control while trying to avoid the falling tree. And with a bad stroke of luck, the truck crush landed near them and got pinned by the truck.
Aichi gasped at the video "… this… this… is just a joke or something right?.. B-but h-how are they able to do this…"
"Aichi do you want to leave this place?!" Hibiki said in panic.
"Yeah…" Aichi answered but before they could leave, their attention were caught by a crash and screaming people and Aichi stopped on his tracks and watch the scene happening in front of him frozen.
After the crush on the tree Aichi froze in fear thinking about the clip, the tree fell and just like the clip, a truck came passing and lost control avoiding the tree and Hibiki and Daichi panicked and just shielded Aichi from the crash.
Aichi's phone showed light and a woman saying that he would like him to choose whether to die or live, and of course Aichi chose to live, and the woman complimented him on his will to live and also said that a demon summoning application was downloaded and before disappearing bid Aichi good luck!.
"Aichi! Aichi! Wake up!" –Hibiki.
"Aichi! Oi Aichi!" –Daichi.
Aichi slightly opened his eyes and hastily tried to stood up but felt a pain and instead slowly stoop up looking at the two asking "What happened?".
The two gave him a bitter expression and looked at his back and Aichi followed suit, Aichi had a shocked expression.
"How…" Was all Aichi could say from the scene.
Hibiki looked at his phone looking at the troubling message "It's Time…".
"Did you get any injury Aichi? Let me check!" Daichi hastily checked Aichi and fortunately, all that Aichi got was scratches and sighed from relief.
"Well let's take care of that left cheek and your arm how about your leg nothing wrong?" Daichi asked while tending Aichi's injury.
"A little though…" Hibiki can see from Aichi's eyes that he was confused and scared so he stood up and looked around he knows when there is accidents like this there is bound to be…
"Daichi! Lay low." Hibiki said while kneeling down.
"Don't tell me!" Daichi already knew.
"It's Time… It's happening again…" Hibiki said carefully inspecting the area.
Daichi looked at Aichi and got his phone at the stared at it.
"Don't worry Aichi, Daichi, if something bad happens I will protect you." Hibiki had determined eyes.
*Clang*
"Hibiki…" Daichi warned.
Hibiki nodded and waited.
Footsteps were heard but for Aichi it wasn't a normal person's footsteps.
The sound became louder and louder and from the night's light the footsteps owner was revealed to be a creature with dog-like face.
"Kobold…" Hibiki muttered with anxiety.
"Here it comes…" Daichi got worried but it gotten worse when Aichi spoke with fear.
"I-it's… it's c-coming towards here… no… don't…" Hibiki and Daichi got worried until a pillar of light shone giving form of a knight with a spear on its hand ready to shoot.
"What the-!..." Daichi shouted and Hibiki also and stared intently onto Aichi.
"Don't come near here!" Aichi shouted with all his might and with that, the knight threw his mighty spear at the offender of his master.
After the offender was defeated, the knight turned heel and made his way to Aichi's location.
Aichi was scared that he just froze on his spot.
"Aichi it's alright… he is on our side… to be precise he is" Hibiki comforted Aichi.
"Be at peace, I mean you no harm, but I am here to be your ally and will swore to protect you at all cost, My name is Genma, Cu Chulainn." Cu Chulainn knelt in front of his new master.
Hibiki and Daichi could just blink and have wide eyes at what the demon did.
"I-It-…" –Daichi.
"…Talks!" –Hibiki.
"Interesting… so this is what he meant…" Alcor was watching from afar…
Aichi's fear was lost and instead became bewildered.
Outro: Hey guys, what do you like me to call Ureu Mono? Alcor or Al Saiduq? and also what should Ureu Mono call Hibiki? Hibiki or Shining one, since in the game he is called Al Saiduq if you choose his route that is and he calls Hibiki Shining One and in the anime he is called Alcor and calls Hibiki in his name… what are you guys used to? Also, what demons should Aichi posses, but you can only suggest to me the demons that showed on devil survivor 2 please!
Kresnik was actually my first choice but he was a vampire slayer, did I get it right or not? I also thought of Tan Lim but had second thoughts since he was lower leveled So I turned to Cu Chulainn who looked like a knight. Maybe I'll just give him all the knights hehe…
Oh, yeah I have a perfectly good reason how can Aichi's demon's be able to talk, but I am sure you already have a clue about that hehe… but if not wait for it :D…
By the way, can you guys give some suggestion on what are the characters of devil survivor has become after 5 years? I cannot think of anything appropriate, so help please (T_T)!
Thank you for reading! Please review or pm for any suggestions or problems on the story!
I know it's not much of a story to be liked T_T but I tried! XD…
Wow that took longer than I thought I meant my outro…
