Prologue: Rituals and Heroes
In the darkly lit room, the six figures stood around the symbol on the stone wall, five men and one woman. The wall had a strange insignia on it that resembled a Mega Stone symbol.
The man on the far left wore a black, suit like uniform that showed his muscular body. He had black shoes on his feet that went perfectly with the suit. The suit itself had a large R on the left front side. His hair was short and black and went barely over the curve of his head. The look of his face was one of pure cruelty and evil, able to frighten the strongest of warriors. His eyes were black, devoid of any good in them.
The girl to his right wore a red uniform with black pants. Her red boots were combat ready as they seemed to be bulky. She wore a red short trench coat that went down to her knees. There was a symbol that seemed to be a mixture of an M and the Greek Omega symbol, the symbol red-orange and flaming. Her face was one of intimidation and fear. Her hair was red and spread out behind her head. Her eyes were reddish orange and flashed with bloodlust. She wore glasses, but had taken them off.
The boy next to her, her twin, wore a blue uniform in contrast to her. He wore a similar trench coat to the girl, but it was blue. The symbol on his looked like it was liquid and seemed to be a mix of the letter A and the Greek Alpha symbol. His face was similar to the girl's. He had a small goatee that was black in color. His hair was blue, but most of it was covered by a bandana with the same symbol. His eyes were blue and were cold as ice.
The man to the immediate right of the boy wore black loose pants with thin, black stripes running around them. His shoes were grey with grey stripes on them. His shirt was long sleeved and had a similar striping to his pants. He wore a grey, sleeveless jacket with two black stripes on the bottom. His jacket had a yellow G on it, which was pointed oddly. His face was one of calculation and emotionlessness. His hair was a shade somewhere in between the color of water and the color of ice. His eyes were about the same shade as his hair, but seemed to lack emotion in place of calculations and planning.
The man next on the right wore a long black cloak with grey eye patterns over his black uniform. He had long pants that overlapped black shoes. His black shirt was long sleeved and had two thick yellow bands near his wrists and elbow. He wore black gloves over his hands and in his left hand was a staff. The staff was a long, silver pole that ended in a circle with and X going through it. In the middle of the circle was a shield shaped metal plate. The plate was black on one side and white on the other. An electric blue colored P and Z were intertwined over the front of the shield. His hair was a whitish green and stuck up in three places, making a W shape if looked at the right way. His left eye was a red color and bore into souls. His right eye was covered by a red lens that had data flashing over it like a scouter from Dragon Ball Z.
The final man, the furthest on the right, wore a black uniform. His pants were black, bearing an orange stripe on the inside and the outside. The shoes he wore under the pants were black and were slightly fancier than casual. He wore a black winter coat looking jacket, said jacket having fuzz on the inside. There were two pockets on the front, outlined by orange protectors. The wrists had folded cuffs, each with a button. He wore black gloves to cover his hands. Under his jacket, he wore a fiery orange shirt that was long sleeved. He had a fiery orange ascot around his neck, which showed in the opening of the jacket. His fiery orange hair was similar to a mane, his beard complimenting the look. His eyes were a cool blue, a stark contrast to his hair. His expression was one of patience and calm.
"What do you wish?" the wall spoke, a figure emerging from it.
The figure was in the shape of a woman. She wore no clothes, though her body was glowing with a deadly aura. Her feet up to the heels were red as well as partway up the front of her ankles. Two white ovals were in the middle of the top of the arch of both feet. Her heels were black, the blackness bleeding up her legs to her torso, starting where the red ended. The majority of her legs was a cobalt color, her arms the same way. Her hands were red similarly to her feet as well as a little past her wrists. Two white ovals were on the back of each palm. The entirety of her torso was a cream color, a white oval in the middle of her chest. Her shoulders were black, a small white oval in the front middle of each one. Her face was dark blue, with thick black, vein like lines spreading out starting at her nose. Her hair was in five thick locks that were black with blood red tips. Her eyes were a blood red mixed with orange. She gazed at the six, her gaze terrifying, all of the six a little nervous.
"Why have you summoned me?" She demanded of them. "Have you found a compatible individual?"
"We may have." The man on the far left said.
"Where are the other four?" the woman asked.
"They are not here." The man with orange hair said. "They have not come. They are making sure their asset is secured."
"So…" the woman said. "Their foolish plan is going forth. Interesting. I expect them to have completed it very soon. Reviving the Master is our main priority and I do not wish for them to be irresponsible with these tasks."
"They will pull their weight." The girl said. "They've never failed us before."
"Your point is correct.' The woman said, nodding. "Show me to this host so that I may begin to utilize them to further our plans of awakening."
The six led the woman to a woman who was bound and gagged on a table, struggling against the ropes that bound her.
The woman was wearing green boots that went to her knees and were like her skin. She wore a white jumpsuit that hugged her body and went into a pair of long green gloves. Around her neck was a short red scarf that was tied off to look like two leaves. She had long green hair that went down to the middle of her back. She wore a hat over it that had two long, white, fuzzy ear muffs on them. Her eyes were a floral green that were currently filled with fear.
"This is the host?" the demonic woman asked, looking down at the captive. "She does not look like much."
"She's got some power behind her." The girl in red said, rubbing her jaw. "Packs a punch."
"I see.' The demonic woman said. "She bears the power of the Gracidea tribe. Very useful to our cause."
"Your cause will fail!" A voice shouted just as the wall in front of them exploded inward. As the smoke cleared, five individuals were revealed.
The individual on the far left, a female, wore a pink uniform that resembled a magical girl's costume. The skirt went halfway to her knees and her long pink, high heeled boots almost reached the middle of her shins, being folded over to be lower. The top of the uniform was like a leotard, but made of a material like leather and cloth. It was sleeveless, but she wore pink arm braces that covered her forearms. She had her long pink hair tied in twin tails, a long red ribbon trailing through it. There was also a pair of pink cosplay cat's ears in her hair. Her eyes were a calm blue, but glowed with power untold.
The female on the far right wore a red uniform that covered her like a spy uniform. She wore red combat boots that went to her knees, chains on them. She had a red sleeve on her right arm and a bluish green sleeve on her left. She wore a red glove on her right hand and a bluish green glove on her right. She had a purple pendant around her neck, hanging in the middle of her chest. Her hair was bloody red and was short, not even touching her shoulders. Her eyes were bluish and seemed restricted.
The next one next to the on in pink was a male. He was dressed in a red shirt and pants combo that had black veins running along it. His shoes were a grey color, almost completely hidden under his pants. He wore red and black gloves that almost seemed like claws. His hair was grey and long, two black streaks in it. His eyes were an icy blue, piercing as well.
The individual next to the woman in red was a female. She wore black pants with a dark blue jacket. She wore a white shirt under the jacket. Her boots were black with a white oval on them. Her hair was white, but there were rainbow colored highlights in it, seemingly glowing. Her eyes were a deep sapphire color, glowing themselves.
The individual in the middle, a female, stood in front of the others, seemingly the leader. She wore a white skirt and pants combo that showed some of her toned body. Her sleeveless shirt was white with a large grey section in the middle. She wore a locket that was shaped like an odd form of circle that had points extending out on all sides. If one looked closely, they could see the "spines" had green dots on them. She wore white boots with a yellow stripe going up the side. Her face was kind and wise, but also looked youthful and active. Her long white hair flowed like in a breeze. Her eyes had red pupils and green everywhere else. She wore a grey faceplate, which covered the lower half of her face.
"The Legends." The demonic woman growled. "How did they find us?!"
"You stole one of ours." The leader said in a commanding tone. "We're here for her back."
"you will join my ranks of the dead!" the demonic woman shouted, firing a sphere of a black and red aura. However, the Aura Sphere was deflected by another being.
This being was a male, his aura glowing a golden color. He wore a golden necklace with a Golden stone on it. The stone shone prettily and seemed to have some mysterious powers of its own. His shirt was a pattern of red and black stripes. His jacket was a dull gold and his pants were grey. He wore black shoes, but his pants mostly hid them. His hair was black and red and went down to his shoulders, the outline of his hair golden. His eyes were blood red and were angry.
"You will return our member." He growled.
The six beings that had summoned the demon stepped behind the demon.
"Fool!" the demon said, firing a blast directly into his chest, knocking him backward. The woman in white caught him, firing a powerful grey blast coming from her hand. The demon simply let the blast hit her, almost like she was absorbing it.
"you have not learned your true power." The demon said, raising her hand, firing a blast that knocked all six of the Legends backwards and through the wall. "You will come to fear that, Arcean (Ar-Saiyan)."
The demon put her hand on the bound woman's chest, dark power flowing into her. The woman struggled, trying to resist the power flowing into her.
Soon, she stopped struggling, looking at the fallen Legends, her gaze a blank stare. A single tear fell from her eyes.
No!" The man in gold shouted in anger, rushing forward with a punch infused with a Ghostly Draconic power. He slammed his fist into the demon, actually stunning her.
The two began to trade heavy blows, the man actually keeping up with the demon.
"How are you able to keep up with me?!" the demon demanded. "Your race is far inferior to mine! I will make you suffer for this!"
The demon summoned a ball of her aura, firing it at the man. The man cried out in pain, falling over where the woman in white was bound to the table.
He freed the woman from her binds, holding her. With a quiet whisper, her last breath, she whispered his name, going limp.
He just looked at her, tears coming as he held her. The other Legends moved up next to him, summoning their respective powers. The woman in pink launched a powerful Psychic attack, which pulsed against the demon. However, the demon was undeterred, snapping her fingers, spikes impaling the woman in pink.
"You are all fools to interfere with us." She said, smirking. "I shall make every last one of you suffer before this is all said and done."
"We're outmatched." The leader of the Legends said, growling.
She quickly held up her hand, a beam of light surrounding the Legends, causing them to disappear into thin air.
"Are you letting them get away?" The woman in red asked.
"For now." The demon said. "We do not need them. Besides, it's not like they have a chance in hell of defeating us. I will take a few years to find a compatible host for myself."
With the Legends
"Can you save her?" The leader asked.
"No." the man in gold said. "Her soul was corrupted. I cannot restore it."
"Will she be possessed?" The leader asked.
"It's a possibility." The man said. "I'll take her with me and seal her up to try and prevent it. Besides, if she's gone, I'd like her close by."
"I'll allow that." The leader said. "You can try to preserve the last of her soul."
"I will." He said, leaving in the shadows. The leader dropped to her knees, letting her own tears fall for her passing friend.
"We could always recruit a few new members to aid us." The woman in pink said. "My friend, Floracia-Tempora, is willing to aid us.
Elsewhere—twenty four years later
She woke up, yawning. She got up, stretching her tired limbs to get some feeling in them. She popped her back, sighing in contentment when it got her the desired result. She glanced at her alarm clock.
"Eleven.' She thought. "Time to go to work."
She went over to her dresser, taking out a pair of black leggings. She put these on as well as a pair of cobalt colored shorts. She put on a pair of black shoes that were unbranded. She wore a long sleeved cobalt shirt made of spandex as well as a black clincher around her waist. She pulled on cobalt fingerless gloves, the backs of her hands revealed in the glove. Around her neck, she put a yellow collar. She brushed her cobalt colored hair out of her eyes, tying it in a single, thick ponytail behind her. There were two black dyed sections of her hair. These she tied in tails too, though these hung in front of her ears. Into her hair she put a pair of cobalt cosplay ears, hiding the band under her hair. She looked at her eyes, which were blood red, blinking as they burned brightly. She placed a black mask over her face, covering her eyes with it, the mast folding over her nose.
"I'll make you proud, mom." She said, looking at a picture on her dresser of her and a woman who looked like her, but older. The note written on the picture said "To my special girl. Love mom, 1XD3-1DS4 (A/N: basically, a span of thirty five years). Be the best you can be".
Her attire complete, she opened her window stealthily, moving out of it and shutting it. She concentrated her energy, teleporting elsewhere.
Across town
The four criminals ran from the bank, the alarm blaring as they made their way to a car, piling in.
The driver was a woman of about twenty three and was dressed in in a black leather catsuit that hugged her body closely, showing off her contours. She wore black, high heeled boots that had red tips. The upper section of the catsuit was a darker black than the lower, the arms as well. She wore black gloves with red fingertips, the gloves extending to her elbows. Her long hair extended down to her legs, tied at the end. In shape, it could be compared to Goku's Super Saiyan 3 hair. The ends of her hair were red while the rest was black. Her eyes were a light blue and she had crimson lipstick. She looked kind of like a fox in her looks.
The person in the passenger seat, a male who looked about eighteen, was dressed in black as well. He wore a black shirt over dark grey pants. His pants led into black shoes, overlapping them. He wore a pair of sunglasses to hide his eyes. He had white hair that was very short, stopping where his neck started. His eyes behind his shades were black. He crossed his arms and looked ahead.
The person in the back on the driver's side was a woman who looked about twenty and was dressed in a black catsuit almost like the driver's. She wore black, high heeled boots with white tips. She wore white gloves that went just past her wrist. Around her neck was a red scarf that trailed a little. One of her eyeteeth stuck out of her mouth, showing more as she smirked. Her hair stood up at the ends and was black at the roots, the vast majority of it dyed blood red. Her eyes were also red, itching for a fight. In the middle of her forehead, she wore a circlet with a large, round gem.
The final person, who sat behind the passenger, was a girl who looked about sixteen. She was dressed in a black shirt and black pants combo. She wore a pair of red shoes that had black laces. Around her neck was a black scarf that was very fluffy. She had a sly smile on her face and she had a pair of black, fox like cosplay ears in her hair. Her hair was floofy and a large portion was dyed red. Her eyes were light blue and she resembled the driver a good bit.
"We sure nailed that." The passenger said, chuckling.
"Can it, Pancham." The driver said, driving faster. "We're not out of the woods yet."
"Oh please, Zoro." The back driver's side passenger said to the driver, rolling her eyes. "There's no way the cops'll catch up to us. And, even if they do, we can take 'em."
"You guys heard the stories about that mysterious fighter that's taking on criminals?" the back passenger said, looking out her window.
"You mean those bullshit stories about that 'Riolu Girl' character?" Zoro said, scoffing. "Don't believe 'em Rua. She's just a myth invented by cops to get people away from the fact that they're all incompetent. I mean, the stories say she's got power to match a legendary. That's just not true."
"I don't know." Rua said. "The stories make her sound so cool."
"She's not cool!" Zoro said. "She's a nut job who thinks she can take on criminals. She's probably a naïve kid who needs a beating to learn her place."
"I think she's kinda cool sounding.' Rua said.
"Don't think that." Zoro said. "There are no heroes anymore anyway. They all died out."
"You never know." Pancham said, shrugging. "She could just be a legendary who wants some action."
"Doubt it." The driver's side passenger said, scoffing. "They wouldn't just do that. I've heard they have a strict protocol with shit like this."
"What do you know, Weave?" Zoro asked. "You're not one of 'em."
"I could be if I wanted to be." Weave said, rolling her eyes. "Besides, there's no such thing as 'Riolu Girl'. It's just a myth."
Suddenly, Zoro slammed on the brakes, seeing someone in the road, someone in blue.
"What the hell?!" Weave exclaimed, all of them being thrown forward until their seat belts caught them.
"There was someone in the road." Zoro said, looking out. The others looked out, but there was no one there.
"Are you high?" Rua asked. "There's no one there."
"There was." Zoro said, getting out of the car.
"Wait…" Pancham said, looking up at the rearview mirror. "Who's that behind us?"
They all turned to look, the others getting out of the car. They all got very nervous as they saw the figure standing there, barely illuminated by the streetlight. She was dressed in blue with a black cincher. She had on a mask over her eyes.
"you're not going to get away with that." The figure said, her voice commanding.
"You think you can stop us?" Weave asked, clenching her fists. "You're nothing special."
The figure held up her hand, a light blue sphere forming in it. She fired it at Weave, striking her in the chest.
Weave flew backwards, bouncing on the ground as she fell under. The figure moved closer, slamming Pancham in the face with a powerful punch, knocking him out.
"Who the hell are you?!" Zoro exclaimed, using Night Slash, her hand becoming cloaked in Dark energy as she slashed at the figure. The figure dodged, punching Zoro in the face with a Power-Up Punch.
Zoro was stunned, getting up and grabbing the figure's arm. The figure looked down, swinging her leg around kicking Zoro in the head. Zoro and her then began to exchange blows.
"So, you're the one they call the 'Riolu Girl', huh?" Zoro said, punching her in the face. "I'm not impressed. You may have beaten them, but I'm not so easily beaten."
Ruo hid behind the car, watching the battle ensue between her partner in crime and the mysterious individual known as 'Riolu Girl'.
Zoro fired a Dark Pulse from her hand, the 'Riolu Girl' dodging it and attacking her with a Power-Up Punch.
Zoro was knocked backwards, bouncing twice before landing, being knocked out.
The 'Riolu Girl' looked at Rua, who had started to move from her spot.
"This doesn't really suit you." She said, looking at Rua. Her voice wasn't firm, just normal, though, she was clearly trying to disguise it. Rua, however, was unable to detect her natural voice.
"Wh-what?" She asked.
"Being a criminal." Riolu Girl said, turning and walking towards the others. "It doesn't suit you. You could do so much better. But, I'm not so naïve to think that that's all it'll take. You're cut out for something better.'
"Wh-what?" Rua asked.
"Think about it." Riolu Girl said, using her aura to lift Zoro, Pancham, and Weave up and teleport away with them. As she left, Rua watched where she'd been standing.
"She didn't take me with them…" she said. "But, why? What is she planning? And, what did she mean by that?"
She stood there for another minute, eventually turning around and heading towards her home.
However, unbeknownst to her, up above her on the rooftops was Riolu Girl, standing there with her arms crossed. The heroine smirked.
"You'll think about it.' She said, teleporting.
What's going on? Who is this demon? Who are the people serving her? Who are the Legends? Who is this mysterious "Riolu Girl"? Find out in a later chapter.
Oh my god, I can't believe it, a remastered (or, the proper term would be ret-con, but Remastered has a better ring to it) Azure Light! It's been over a year since the original finished and I've been wanting to do this for a bit now and I thought it would be fun. However, if you've read the original Azure Light, things are obviously gonna be different. Here's a few things specifically so you know (if you've never read the original Azure Light, this has no effect on you):
1) the plotholes are gonna be fixed (e.g. the Lukara plot)
2) better quality of chapters-the original first chapter was kinda shitty (the excuse being it was originally five 1000+ chapters compiled together over a year ago.
3) Ace is gonna be nerfed-I felt when I was writing the original it was less of if he would win and more of when he would win.
4) Kiria will have more importance-in the original she was supposed to have a huge role, but it got stifled.
5) more than just about Ace and the Unholy Trinity-there's an entire other plot which involves this "Riolu Girl" as well as some other stuff.
6)This is not just fixing the original. If I wanted to do that, I'd just edit/reupload the original chapters.
