~Notes/Introduction:
Welcome to the Second Book of Eternal Swim Chronicle Series! As you can see, the first story was about Kuroko no Basket and Slam Dunk envisioned into a new universe connecting the past and present. The lives of the Generation of Miracles and Marvels were to bring a new complicated storyline entwined by fate with the Magic Six.
You got to see some of the "Family Tree" growing with the revelation of:
*Makoto and Midorima are half-brothers through the mom, Queen Misa. Toru Hanagata (from Slam Dunk) is the true father of Midorima.
*Daigo is the uncle of Rin, brother of Toraichi and the late Mamoru Matsuoka.
**Queen Kyou and King Freyr, the elder King & Queen of the Matsuoka Family.
~What to expect in this Storyline:
*Conflict with the Haikyuu! vs. Kuroko no Basuke (and Free! also)
*The "Death Mark" on Alexa on the 7th/Final Night of the Purification
*YAOI! (Yes I promise to bring some love now finally!)
***Backstories on: RinHaru, ReiGisa, and MakAl that will lead up to the passion scenes.
*A new "city" far to the west of Sportsbrooke, almost on the other side of Olympia.
***New Locations as well throughout the desert.
*New villains and new allies as well as some old faces from Book 1.
*Gaardus's "secret". (If you read Flight of the Phoenix Diary Entry 7, you'll know what is going on)
*Backstories on Kise, Murasakibara, Aomine, and Seijuurou (some of them will share ties to the HQ gang.)
*Taiga Kagami will have a "Special Story" as well.
The New Villains: Black Crows
Leader: Shouyou Hinata
Wisemaster: Chernobyl Pripyat
Members: Tobio Kageyama, Hajime Iwaizumi, Taketora Yamamoto, and many others!
(Mostly the people who were banished from Sportsbrooke)
~Prologue A: Recap of Book 1
The Magic Six and the Suiei Gods are back in an all-new adventure! However, they are not the same exact characters from the previous works, Iwatobi Suiei Gods and Voyage of the Magic Six.
These heroes were born from a realm of water, Aqua Duniya, raised by their royal families and heir to become the Legendary Suiei God Warriors. Their mission; to bring back peace and swimming to the world of all sports. This world, "Olympia" was once part of a larger global realm called "Olympia Magna". However, a terrible catastrophe struck the land when the "Dark One" placed a spell over the land and its people, causing them to war over each other.
After the great planet shattered, many lives were lost or suffered during the last 150,000 years. One of the citizens, Misa was drawn into the depths for eons until the Island of Hawakoto was formed where she then met Tatsuhisa Tachibana. Leaving her past behind (including her first son though she has forgotten that past until her death), she joined the kingdom and gave birth to Makoto, Ran and Ren.
Other families were revealed such as the Matsuoka's. Toraichi, the youngest of the three brothers became part of the kings when a terrible tragedy resulted in the loss of Mamoru (middle child), and the exile of Daigo (eldest) due to his uncontrollable time powers.
Upon birth of the Magic Six, the boys were born and bestowed with great potential in swimming and their magical water powers. By 6 – 7 years old, the team underwent a week long ceremony of "Purification" by becoming one with the water and chanting prayers. However, something happened on the seventh night in which Makoto failed to protect Alexa which resulted in a "ticking-time" death bomb created to eventually destroy him. (This "Flashback" will be revealed in detail later in this book!)
Despite this, they began their swimming lessons and were later trained by a power "Magician" and "Athlete" named Theagenes (This man had unusual powers which traced back to before Olympia Magna shattered). After specializing and racing for several years, the time arrived for them to journey through realms to reach Olympia in order to establish peace and hope for all those who suffered.
After crossing through dangerous realms (see Before it Begins, Flight of the Phoenix, etc.), the gang finally arrived in Olympia during a festival of the "Princess Goddess". The gang arrived in the megacity of "Sportsbrooke" where the festival took place and discovered that the goddess was a man in disguise who was bestowed with his own powers based on the sport of basketball.
One by one, the Magic Six obtained their Suiei powers during times of near death and danger of their loved ones. The powers grew more beneficial as more of them began to master the power of water as adults.
Reuniting with Kisumi (after he previously vanished with Hayato) and making new friends along the way, the Magic Six discovered the truth behind the Goddess and "The Savior". They also learned how the water system worked in the city despite being in the middle of a harsh desert. However, one of the guardians to Kuroko was slipping away to the darkness after learning his tragic past.
Taking revenge in the same manner from before, Midorima calls a match between the team and the Magic Six. The darkness grew in him, turning him into Black Kurorima and having plans to destroy the Tachibana Family by time traveling back to preserve his real father and killing the king. Before the plans were fulfilled, Takao makes a sacrifice of his life in hopes to bring Midorima back, dispelling the darkness in his heart.
~Prologue B: Invasion from Afar...
Scene from Book 1: Crossroad of Talents...
Makoto stood alongside with Alexa as the others prayed, combining their powers into the staff; the great powers of the Generation of Miracles and the Magic Six were holding up the darkness as the city was shaking.
"Makoto! Midorima!" shouted Alexa, trying to stay focused on the Dark One, "Combine your powers with me! Believe in yourselves. Put your hearts together and focus your attack on him!"
The trio glowed green and golden-yellow with their weapons (The hammer, vase, and the staff) and they shout together:
SUIEI CLEANSINNNNNGGGG…HALAAAAATIONNNNNN!
Three blasts of light (2 green and 1 golden yellow) struck at the Dark One as the monster screamed before a massive explosion blinded everyone for several moments. Midorima prayed for Takao as he hoped to one day see him again when they reunite. The Dark One hissed and echoed a scream across space before it vanished into the bright light, unleashing waves of power across the entire planet.
Alexa's necklace shattered, prompting him to collapse out as Makoto and Midorima caught him on both sides. The powers really exhausted his body but everyone was relieved to finally have won the battle.
Once it was over, Kuroko resumed his form as the "Princess Goddess" and used his power to heal the megacity once more, recreating the miracle. The people that witnessed this fight were stunned as the entire city roared in celebration.
During the 1 Month of Peace…
(Note: This is taking place after the end of the final battle but before the final scene and the cliffhanger)
When the excitement was finally settled down and Sportsbrooke returning to peace, Gaardus ordered the Magic Six to meet outside by the Princess Goddess Statue.
The six stood and waited for the bird to fly in as they wondered what sort of meeting was going to be about. Gaardus arrived at last with its earing glowing blue.
"W-we aren't leaving, are we?" asked Rei.
"No but I am now going to bestow new magic into your hearts," replied the Phoenix, flapping his wings.
Alexa gasped as he saw a small device floating in front of him; it looked like a dragon brooch or something fancy design of a mythical creature.
"Alexa, this is your new upgrade," smiled the Phoenix, "However, we still have yet to find the Legendary Solar Crystal. This can be used to transform to your Suiei form, but with the addition of the crystal, it can provide a better, more efficient device."
"But why would I want to have the Solar Crystal?" asked Alexa as the others were silent.
"That reason cannot be said," said Gaardus.
"Gaardus-chan, how much secrets are you hiding from us?" asked Nagisa.
"It's clear that you're hiding some things," agreed Rin.
"I want to tell you guys everything but it is something I am forbidden to tell until the time is appropriate," replied the bird, "Otherwise if word is out, the next enemy will take the advantage."
"Well what am I supposed to say on the transformation?" asked Alexa.
"Dragon Crystal Power, Make up!" said Gaardus.
C-Crystal power, thought Rei, getting more suspicious.
"How about us?" asked Haruka.
Gaardus chirped, flapped its wings and handed them a set of daggers with a base that represented their spirit animals.
"These wands are also your daggers in case of an emergency while you're not in Suiei form," he said, "They're very powerful so be careful when you use them outside of your Suiei. However, you can use these to transform into your upgrades also."
"And what do we say when we transform?" asked Makoto.
"Your animal…add star…power make up," revealed the bird.
"So we add 'star' into the spell?" asked Nagisa.
"That's correct," said Gaardus, "These are your Animal Star Dagger Wands."
"May I ask why these are dangerous?" asked Rei.
"They're not just ordinary weapons or wands to use," explained the phoenix, "These are organic…and can be a mind of their own. They respond to your emotions."
The bird turned to Makoto and said, "Makoto…I have decided; you will become the team leader. Find Prince Julius and the Solar Crystal!"
"M-Me…le-leader?" he gasped.
"So that's what he told you?" asked Midorima as he and Makoto sat on the bench at the park the next day while Nagisa, Kise, Rei, and Aomine were hanging out on the playground, playing Frisbee.
"Yes," he answered, "That's our mission from our families…and yours."
"But why though?" asked the megane, "Why would you guys get involved like that?"
"Well do you know anything?" asked Makoto.
"…Theagenes once told me about it," said Midorima, "While I was still in the dark side. He said that the crystal contains powers so great that it could change everything. However, I knew that such power couldn't have existed so I simply asked of him to create a time portal instead."
"Y-you know," replied Makoto, "Maybe you want to live with us?"
"I think doing that would only make me depressed," said Midorima, wiping the fog off of the glasses, "I've already seen it anyway…but I don't deserve that."
Makoto made a low smile as he knew that seeing him back to his senses was at least a sign of finally getting a relationship. However, Midorima was still a bit traumatized by the whole truth of things and it was unstable for his morals (which led him to turn dark). However, the death of Takao made him realized that everything that mattered was once in him…
"I can't bring him back," he sighed, "Takao really was caring for me…even when I pushed him to the side."
"It's not your fault for his death," said Makoto, "I'm sure he wanted to do what he could to bring you back."
"And what about you?" asked Midorima, "I know you've been holding some pain inside."
"…that…is…another story," he answered sadly, "All I know is that by the sunset of his 21st birthday…based on the time in Aqua Duniya, the Death Mark will seize his life."
"The one you love that is?" he asked.
"Yes," said Makoto, "We don't have much time left but something has to happen. We're going to need something far beyond a miracle if Alexa's life is to be saved."
Nightfall, Kagami's loft
Kagami sat outside of his loft (there is an exterior portion that is a balcony area) and watched the city night life happening. Normally he would go out with the others and what not but he wanted to have some time and peace for himself this time.
The Magic Six already took their belongings to the new rooms at the Miracle Palace, he thought, it kinda sucks to have no company around.
He turned to see Kuroko standing there even though the door wasn't knocked or anything.
"It figures," he said.
"Why aren't you coming tonight?" asked Kuroko.
"…there's something that I found and it's making me question my origin," answered Kagami.
"Which is…?" began Kuroko.
Kagami opened up an envelope and revealed a metallic necklace with a ring on it. Kuroko noticed that he wore another one just like it.
"This necklace has its origins that I do not wish to revisit. I was going to throw them away but ever since we saved the others, I didn't know how to give back properly. So I want you to wear one, to symbolize our friendship and our brotherhood of Seirin," he explained.
Kuroko received the necklace and smiled, "Thank you. But who originally wore this, if I may ask?"
"…someone who was once a friend of mine. He actually taught me how to play basketball too but then some weird things were happening and I had to run away from him," said Kagami, "However, I am here now in this town and that's all that matters."
"I see," he answered.
"Don't worry about it," replied Kagami.
"So do you want to attend to the party?" asked Kuroko, "We can't be complete without our savior…"
"Alright," he smiled and the two left.
Present Day: The Invasion of The Black Crows!
After a few weeks of minor incidents and overall peace, the black cloud of crows invaded the megacity, striking the shields down as the people panicked in fear.
The Magic Six woke up to hear this news and were already getting out the door.
"I'm starviiiingggg," moaned Nagisa.
"We'll have to eat afterwards!" replied Rei.
"Everyone, get yourselves ready!" said Rin as he prepared his Shark Star Dagger Wand.
"I didn't think we'd be using this so soon," nodded Makoto.
"With all of you guys," said Haruka, "We'll fight these new enemies off!"
"I'm going to fly on ahead to see what's happening," replied Gaardus, taking off, "Hurry up and arm yourselves!"
"Yeah, let's transform!" nodded Alexa, readying his Dragon Suiei Crystal Brooch on his chest as it glowed softly. The others nodded in reply and they all shouted:
"DOLPHIN STAR POWERRRR…"
"SHARK STAR POWERRRR…"
"PENGUIN STAR POWERRRR…"
"BUTTERFLY STAR POWERRRR…"
"ORCA STAR POWERRRRR…"
"DRAGON CRYSTAL POWERRRRR…"
"MAAAAKKEEEE UP!"
Haru's Dolphin Star Dagger Wand flickered and then exploded bright blue lights that matched his ocean colored eyes. He grabbed the dagger as his nails turned blue before he danced his way through the transformation sequence. The arms and triceps flexed and twitched the muscles as ripping energy waved through his body.
Rin's Shark Star Dagger Wand flickered and glowed a series of red lights as his body became transparent into the background of his transformation sequence. He grabbed the dagger (his nails turned red) and danced his way through the lights of fire as he could feel the heat of the competition waving through his system.
The blond made a series of cartwheel flips, obtaining the rest of his clothes; the red-white vest, the sashes of purple and the skirt-like pants for his legs. Nagisa made a soft smile and giggle as several penguins made chirping noises in the background, assisting him with the rest of the jewelry and other pieces that were missing.
As for his new weapon, the Star Dagger transformed into a two-handed broadsword at the side of his sash. The Suiei necklace appeared beneath his outfit as it shined at the ready.
Waving out his hands in the butterfly stroke motion, Rei donned the black sleeves and the golden cuffs on his elbows. The butterflies fused together to form his red turban with the white feather on top before it gently was placed on his head.
He spun around as his red glasses transformed into sliver frames as his lower half of the body morphed out a white pair of loose pants and black shoes. The sash finally formed in multi colors of black, red, and purple where he had his Butterfly Long Riffle attached to his back.
Makoto clasped his hands together as an explosion of electricity and water flowed through his body. Stretching his hands out, he donned a two-layer green outfit with a black-white stripes on his left side. Raising up his left leg, his pants were cream colored with canvas colored shoes that covered his feet.
A golden-yellow colored turban with an orange rim covered his hair while his Suiei Necklace was visibly seen with an orange necklace and other jewelry that decorated his body. He spun around as a blue vase appeared before him.
Raising his arms up, Alexa donned armor pads covered the upper limbs while the dragon scales formed over his chest, abs. They shed off, revealing his plates similar to his previous outfit in Solis Power. However, the design was slightly more ornate and ancient looking.
The same golden-yellow majestic cape grew from the armor and the white loose pants with armor boots with new decorated dragon designs on. The Suiei necklace was also "changed" but still kept the same heart shaped locket. His sword returned to his buckle inside the sheath.
Lastly, his helmet with a scarf covering from behind appeared, looking more like a prince than a warrior.
Haruka opened his eyes and took his battle stance with his Dolphin Razor Sword at the ready.
Rin crossed his arms together in his badass pose at an angle with a wider smirk by showing his shark teeth.
Rei opened his eyes and readied on his weapon with a megane narrowed expression as if he was ready to fire.
Nagisa snapped his fingers as the book opened with the pages flipping magically while he readied himself for the battle with his new sword on hand and the book floating to his left.
Makoto opened his eyes with a smile as his innocent-like expression was hidden with a gentle-yet-serious attitude that knows no bounds; ready to face off the enemy. He grabbed the vase and readied himself.
Alexa spun around with his Dragon Kopis Sword at the ready, opening his eyes to see the source of his prey.
In the Northeastern Suburbs of Sportsbrooke:
Aomine readied his Azure Epsilon Axe as the crows made their attack, screeching loudly. Kise Ryouta chanted out his sword, unleashing spheres of light to shoo them off.
Midorima managed to swing several of the birds away with his Emerald War Hammer while Akashi fired from his Crimson Empire Crossbow fused with powers from his emperor eye.
"It just HAD TO BE CROWS!" roared Murasakibara as he unleashed his Byzantium Archimedes Claws, using his massive height ability to swap them down before quashing them with his feet.
"I forgot how much you despise those birds," said Akashi, "But with Takao as a…?"
"That's a Black Raven…I hate crows because of their weird noises!" he growled as he struck again while Kagami threw several of the teeth daggers at the birds, stabbing them down.
A blast of light struck through the areas, prompting the VS to see the Magic Six at the ready.
"We have arrived now. But who is trying to get into the city?" asked Alexa.
"These aren't even the demons that we are familiar with!" said Kise, "At least they're not from the Dark Curse that is."
"What are they to be exact?" asked Rei.
"Crows," replied Kuroko, "They were breaking the shields down. Several of them got into the city though and are attacking several of the inhabitants."
Before more questions were asked, a moderate-low laughter could be heard coming from the dust storm ahead.
"It sounds like a young man's?" asked Makoto.
"More like a kid," muttered Rin, readying his weapon.
"That voice…" said Midorima quietly, "No it can't be!"
Akashi prepared his emperor eye and asked, "Who is it that brought you here?"
"I am," replied the leader as he unveiled his hood, "It's been a while…Akashi."
"So you and your folks have survived the harsh desert?" he answered, "Shouyou Hinata?!"
Shouyou smirked and replied, "I may still be small but I know how to jump when I see my prey. Also, I was able to see the world at its harshest personality it could ever offer. I can't thank you enough for that."
The orange-haired man looked at the Magic Six and said, "Welcome to Sportsbrooke, Suiei Gods. I see you have taken an alliance with an enemy of ours that was also your own. How delusional..."
"What the hell are you talking about?" asked Rei, "These people are not enemies!"
"They were many, many years ago," explained Shouyou, "And if I am not mistaken…the remnants of the body in the underground reservoir…are not of Julius."
"Just how do you know that!?" asked Makoto.
"What business do you have here?!" growled Midorima.
"We are the Black Crows of Karasuno City. And as for what we demand…" replied Shouyou, "…Give me the Legendary Solar Crystal of Destiny and you can have this wretched town back."
"The crystal does NOT exist any longer," said Kuroko, "It hasn't been seen for eons so what makes you think it will suddenly show up?"
"For that…I can explain," he answered, "Only Prince Julius has it…and he's standing right here before you…he's among you folks. Now give me the crystal…"
The others looked at each other as if the invader was stupid. However, Shouyou knew so much better as he snickered before saying, "You guys don't know? Thanks to an important ally of ours, we learned that the Legacy of Julius and his team have survived all these years!"
"And what makes you think that is he?!" asked Rei.
"It's simple; you and the others have forgotten," said Shouyou.
Shouyou raised his hand up high as black and red electric shadow swirled around, unleashing the power of the Radioactive Chernobyl Crystal.
"And now...it's time for you to wake up…your majesty…"
He unleashed a blast right towards the man who stood when Makoto threw himself up at it, screaming intensely through the attack.
"MAKOTOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed Alexa as he took in the bright blast, shielding him.
