Yu-Gi-Oh! Chronicles: Remnant of the Dragons
Episode 1: The duelist of darkness, Tsukimiya Tsuren
I do not take credit for the music/voice actors mentioned in this story. I do recommend at least checking the song lyrics, as they relate to some of the things in the arc they are presented in. Here are songs I would like in this story, currently:
"Fantastic Tune" as Opening 1, by Ono Kensho
"Mirai" as Ending 1, by Garnidelia
Author's Note: PLEASE READ. I apologized for the length of this Author's Note, but the information provided is very vital if you want to thoroughly enjoy reading this story.
The dueling format is influenced by the Arc V dueling format, however, for the first arc of this story players will be able to draw on their FIRST turn. Furthermore, summoning/game mechanics introduced in this story may or may not be a part of the official card game.
Lines in complete Italic are usually mental thoughts. Card names, names, and some other things will usually be italicized and the stat position of a monster during a duel will be in Bold.
The duels of the 1st arc may be hard to follow, but that is only for the 1st arc and I promise that the OC cards presented in this arc will later be revamped so as to make the future duels easier to understand, and the duels in later arcs will be much simpler to follow.
If you are willing to listen to the songs inserted in this story, I recommend having tabs prepared with the songs mentioned in the beginning of the chapters, within the Author's Note. I may have YouTube links of these songs on my Profile Page but there is no guarantee that YouTube will keep these videos up.
Oh right, regarding names. Names will be written as follows: Surname, Given name. Furthermore, Japanese honorifics will be used as this story happens within Japan, or some kind of parody of Japan I guess.
Constructive criticism, praise, and any other positive reviews are acceptable.
Further notes I may have forgotten will be mentioned in future chapters.
*Latest Revision of Chapter 1: 9-3-16
And now, without further ado…
Story Start!
Within the vast ocean was a cruise ship, travelling in isolation; aboard it was a single passenger. The passenger was a young boy, around the age of 15. He had an unzipped red blazer over a simple white t-shirt, and he wore blue jeans. To compliment his upper wear was his black sneakers and a red cap he wore over his head. The boy stood at 5 foot 8, a decent height for someone his age, and he had slick black hair, reaching down halfway to his neck. The boy stood on the main wooden flooring of the ship, slowly walking forward to its guardrails as he looked straight ahead. In the distance, he had spotted an island; one which accompanied several buildings. One stood greater than them all, easily overshadowing the others ones as it was over 10 stories high; that was the main building of Reginald Academy. Starting this September, the boy would be staying on the island as a student of Reginald Academy, a prestigious school known for educating students who have gone on to make their living as multi-billionaire pro duelists. However, the boy hadn't come here with the intention of becoming rich. Rather, he was forced to transfer here, on sudden notice. His gaze narrowed at the Academy's main building, with hatred apparent in his eyes. His fists clenched tightly and he could feel his anger boiling inside as he recalled the events just prior to his transfer.
*3 days ago*
The boy was currently in an office of fair-size. In front of him was a long glass table, complemented by two chairs on two of its sides. He looked past it to see a marble desk, accompanied with a revolving chair which had faced the wall opposite of him, which had glass covering the majority of it. The sun from outside had shone brightly on the revolving chair and the marble desk. The boy glared forward, looking at the revolving chair as if expecting someone, and sure enough, when the chair turned around it revealed a person; a young boy with slick black hair and features similar to our young protagonist. This other boy was much younger, 3 or 4 years at the least, with brown eyes, similar to our protagonist.
"Kadoh." Our protagonist called the name of this familiar face. This was his brother, Tsukimiya Kadoh. "What do you want?"
"Hmph." The younger brother sounded, as if scoffing. "Brother, I want you to transfer to Reginald Academy and to finish your education there." In response, his older brother's eyes narrowed questioningly.
"For what purpose?"
Kadoh closed his eyes, thinking of how exactly to respond as he rested his elbows against his desk – entwining his fingers as he closed his eyes. He then slowly opened his eyes, looking at the ground in front of him. "It was decided by the Government Representatives within the Round Table – you are to transfer to Reginald Academy so that the Silhouette deck can be tested and so that you are in a Dueling School that the Government can contact; that being Reginald Academy, without question."
"Even so, you guys are just going to take away my freedom? I have a right to decide where and what I want to study!"
"Enough." Kadoh spoke simply, yet it was effective enough to hush his older brother. "This was the final decision. You have no right to neglect it." The older brother opened his mouth as to say something, but as Kadoh snapped his fingers, the older brother noticed a sudden shift in gravity. He looked up and his eyes slowly widened as he noticed the office space slowly moving up, and that was because he had fell down into a hole which had opened on the floor.
"AAAHHHH!" He screamed in desperation before the floor closed, leaving him in absolute darkness.
"I am Tsukimiya Tsuren. It's nice to meet you all." Our protagonist, Tsuren, had greeted as he bowed. He slowly stood up and looking forward to the class filled with students in each elevated desk. He currently stood on a semi-circular platform which stuck out from a wall within the classroom. Like in Gx, there was a platform above the desks which led to doors out to the hallways of the floor. In between the three columns of elevating desks were staircases; one on each side of the middle column. The room was very similar to the ones in GX but the space in this room was much greater and everything within the room was designed with the best of materials in comparison, as if it were to say that GX had a poor excuse for a 'classroom'.
Tsuren looked up curiously as the class applauded, inspecting the students and estimating there to be about 40 of them.
"Splendid." The teacher commented from his left side, standing behind a podium. The teacher possessed a voice similar to Ono Daisuke's. He was 6 foot 0, with black spiky hair and blue eyes. He also wore a blue vest, exclusive to the professors of the Academy, and wore black pants which complimented it. "Now then…" The teacher turned to face Tsuren with an intrigued grin as Tsuren in return gave a curious expression. How about we get the class to see your dueling skills in an actual duel, Tsukimiya-kun?" The Professor challenged.
Tsuren looked at the professor; his eyes slowly closing then slowly opening. "Oh fuck me." He cursed himself.
The two then got at a dueling distance before activating their duel disks. Tsuren had a black-border duel disk, with white as the main color, occupying the rest of his duel disk. The life point counter was in a blue orb, similar to the GX duel disk except this was a crystal. The professor then activated his duel disk; a duel disk with black covering a majority of it however it had a counter color of dark blue, and his duel disk had a green orb. The two then shouted,
DUEL!
"Well then, to give you some insightof what you'll be seeing here at Reginald Academy over the few years, I think I'll start things off." The professor said in an arrogant tone, to Tsuren's dismay.
"Be my guest."
"Draw! Now if I control no monsters, I can special summon this card from my hand! I special summon Dark Part-Shining Iris!"
Dark Part-Shining Iris Att: Dark Lvl.5 Atk: 1900
"Shining Iris huh… What a cringe-inducing name."
The professor ignored Tsuren's comment. "Turn end."
"That's all? Draw! I normal summon Silhouette Armor Striken!"
Silhouette Armor Striken Att: Light lvl.3 Atk: 1400
"Now, attack his Shining Iris!" Tsuren commanded as he thrust his left fist forward.
1400 vs. 1900
"Why would you do that?" The professor questioned. Tsuren smirked in response.
"If this card attacks a monster with a higher level than this card, the opposing monster's ATK is halved and this card gains ATK equal to the halved amount!" Tsuren shouted in triumph. He gasped as he then noticed the Professor's smirk.
"Or you'd assume... However, Shining Iris' effect; when a level 3 or lower monster battles this card, it is automatically destroyed right after attack declaration!" The Prof. snapped with his open right hand as Tsuren's monster shattered. Tsuren knelt down on his right leg as he took damage; his face filled with confusion.
Tsuren: 4000-900=3100
"What happened…?"
"I forgot to mention, after the monster is destroyed, the opponent then takes damage equal to 300 times the destroyed monster's level." The Professor explained. Tsuren sucked his teeth as he stood up, then looking at his hand filled mainly with monsters he couldn't summon.
"Great, what a wonderful way to start the day!" Tsuren groaned. "I set two cards. Turn end."
"My go. Draw! I summon Dark Part- Iron Matter!"
Dark Part - Iron Matter Att: Dark Lvl.3 Atk: 700
"Now I can equip this card to a Dark Part monster I control by putting this in the Spell/Trap card zone!" The professor declared.
"A Union Monster!?" Tsuren shouted in shock as Iron Matter was now equipped to Shining Iris.
"Now, Shining Iris attack directly!"
1900 vs. 3100
"Urgh!"
Tsuren: 3100-1900=1200
"I end my turn." The professor said.
"Draw! I activate the trap card, Miracle Liberation! When my life points are 1600 or less, I can special summon from my deck two lvl 3 or lower Silhouette monsters in face-up defense position, however, the monsters special summoned by this effect have their effects negated and I cannot summon monsters from my hand this turn unless by card effect! Come out, my two monsters!" Tsuren shouted.
Silhouette Gold Waver Att: Light lvl.3 Atk: 1400
Silhouette Maker Revolution Att: Dark lvl.3 Atk: 1200
"Now I overlay the two to xyz summon Devious Darkclaw in attack mode!" Tsuren declared.
Devious Darkclaw Att: Dark Rank: 3 Atk: 2000
"Now, attack Shining Iris!" Tsuren shouted.
2000 vs. 1900
The Prof grinned. "I activate the second effect of Shining Iris; when a special summoned monster my opponent controls attacks this card, if this card was special summoned via its own effect, I can destroy this card and the attacking monster! Along with it, I'll use Iron Matter's effect; by sending this to the grave, I can negate the destruction of Shining Iris, and then you take damage equal to the level/rank of your destroyed monster times 500, so that's 1500 damage!" The Professor shouted, then laughing viciously which caught the interest of the now-curious scholars. Tsuren then laughed, to the professor's dismay.
"Just right! I activate my counter trap card, CROSSXFIRE! When I would take damage, I can special summon as many lvl.3 or lower Silhouette monsters from my graveyard to the field in face-up defense position, and if the combined DEF of all the special summoned monsters is greater than the damage I would receive, that damage becomes zero!" Tsuren grinned. Afterwards, the professor smirked.
"Impressive, but I'll still beat you next turn." The professor declared. He then noticed Tsuren pointing his right forefinger at him, to his confusion. "Uhh... What?"
"I'll finish you off this turn." Tsuren declared, surprising the class as they gasped in surprise. Tsuren's declaration excited the class as they began cheering violently; the ground shaking with their every movement as Tsuren smirked. "I activate the quick-play spell card, Offerings to Darkness! I can offer three Silhouette monsters on the field as tributes to special summon an Illusionary monster from my hand, deck, grave, or banish zone; I choose from my hand to summon Illusionary Ravager!"
Illusionary Ravager Att: Dark lvl.9 Atk: 3400
"Now direct attack!" Tsuren commanded.
3400 vs. 4000
Prof's Life: 4000-3400=600
"Hahaha! Hahahahaha!" The Professor laughed viciously, almost as if mocking. "You're a few digits short, boy!" The professor shouted contentedly.
"Is that so…?" Tsuren asked as a smile formed on his face. The professor's eyes went wide as Illusionary Ravager suddenly appeared in front of him. "Effect, if my opponent has 1100 life points or less at the end of my battle phase, I can banish all Silhouette monsters in my grave to inflict 400 damage to my opponent for each monster banished by this effect!" Tsuren explained and then shouted, "Take this, Darkness purge!"
"AHHHHHHH!" The professor screamed as a dispersal of dark energy hits him.
Prof's Life: 600-1600=0
The professor slowly descended so as to rest his right arm on his raised right knee, with his other knee knelt as he looked down in defeat. Tsuren looked at his dramatic pose.
"Dude, chill, it's just one loss." Tsuren muttered. The professor looked up to see Tsuren now just a few inches in front of him, with his right hand offered out. The professor gladly accepted it, standing up. The two then shook hands in acknowledge of their competition. A curious expression then overcame Tsuren's face as he realized something.
"Didn't this duel take quite some time off class?" Tsuren wondered.
"Hmph." The professor chuckled. "Actually…" Then, everything was silent. Tsuren slowly closed his eyes and opened them, wondering why he'd stop. Tsuren was then bombarded with confetti, and from above, a ball opened in half and shot out even more confetti. Tsuren looked forward plainly as everyone started cheering.
"Welcome to Reginald Academy, Tsukimiya Tsuren!"
"Yeah, yeah." Tsuren replied uncaringly. He then looked over curiously to his right, at the professor whose left arm was now around Tsuren's shoulder. The professor smirked at him.
"What do you say we have another duel?" Tsuren smiled.
"To that I say…" Tsuren started, "hell no!" Tsuren grabbed the professor's arm and then swung him over his body before then running up to the right staircase, towards a door.
"WAIT!" The professor shouted, sounding extremely pissed. Tsuren looked back and smirked, just like a certain blue hedgehog would. The professor growled. "Curse you, Sonic!" Tsuren then quickly moved his right leg forward, as if to run to his right but then made a sudden feint and moved to his left foot then accelerating towards his left before anyone could react.
"Ha… I'm safe for now." Tsuren sighed in relief. He had survived that hell of a festival, if you would call it that. "Hm?" Tsuren stopped walking within the hallway he was currently in. "Huh…?" A dumbstruck expression was now on Tsuren's face. "W-Where am I…?"
"What's wrong?" A sweet, feminine voice called out to him, possessing Aoi Yuki's voice. Tsuren looked back instinctively; a serious expression on his face. His expression then turned into a curious one as he examined the school girl who held a black rectangular school bag in her hands. She was about 5 foot 4.
The girl wore a vest similar to an Obelisk Blue girls' however hers bored a black centric color, and around the armpit areas of the vest was a yellow line, surrounding its whole contour; the yellow line then stretched from the bottom of that area towards the very bottom of the vest, on both sides. She wore a long black skirt, stretching down, just a few centimeters above her knee, and the sides of her skirt both had a yellow line stretching down, as if having continued the line from her vest. The uniform's upper and lower wear really complemented each other. But what fascinated Tsuren more than that was the girl herself who wore the uniform; her appearance had mesmerized Tsuren.
She had short ocean blue hair, stretching down from the back to halfway of her neck, and in the front it had stretched down, just a few centimeters above where her brows were. Her purple eyes which radiated brightly had completely fascinated Tsuren as she smiled at him wonderfully. But what was it…? What Tsuren was feeling wasn't embarrassment, adoration or even confusion upon meeting this new face. No, it was something of more significance.
"Hm?" The girl voiced. Her mouth gaped open, startled as she noticed a tear streaming down Tsuren's right eye. Her eye's slowly widened. "A-Are you alright?" She asked tensely, uncertain of how to react. Tsuren touched his right cheek upon the girl's initial response. Though he hadn't expected it, and almost certain that it wasn't the case, there it was – a single tear.
He slowly closed his eyes and shook his head, moving it down as he despaired somewhat on the inside; feeling somewhat conflicted within. "No, I'm fine…" He replied with a weak voice. He bit on his bottom lip as he suppressed his urge to break into tears, which was surprising for him enough. He then looked up to the girl and smiled brightly. "Thanks. You are?" Tsuren asked, getting back on track. The girl smiled after a while.
"I'm Tsukiyori Ame, a 1st year here." The girl replied.
"Ame…" Tsuren mumbled, looking down in thought. He just couldn't shake this feeling that he knew her somehow.
"Do you need help?" The girl, Ame asked, with a sweet kindness in her voice. Tsuren smiled.
"Yeah. I'm kind of lost. Hahaha." Tsuren admitted, laughing nervously. Ame giggled.
"Hehehe. I figured that might be the case. Leave it to me!"
"Then I'll leave to you." Tsuren responded.
"Mm!" Ame nodded cheerfully with closed eyes.
Tsuren learned the basic mapping of the main building; it had 25 floors in total, and was over 360 foot high. The first 15 floors were basically the same: floors filled with several classrooms and some four-way intersections that could make it hard to navigate through the building if not for the letters & numbers on the walls near intersections that would explain which room is where, which Ame had to explain to Tsuren. Tsuren learned that the letter "C" basically represented a classroom, "Sto." for storage room, "ARENA" for, well, an arena, and so on so forth. Staircases were usually found close to intersections, and Tsuren noticed that the hallways were relatively long, with classroom doors being spaced away quite a good amount, being that they did use up a lot space, but the walk wasn't as tedious as one would imagine. The building was basically was shaped like a normal one, of course, with a much more intricate design, and it had a dome covering its top, which surprisingly didn't seem out of place, and it occupied the last 10 floors. Upon going up to the 16th floor, the hallways are circular, and one may use the elevator found on the pillar occupying the middle portion of the floor, to go up to the other floors, but they cannot go down to the 15th floor and below. The thing that Tsuren found weird was that the lights were off on the 16th floor. Ame explained that the lights were off for the other above floors too; that was because the students are currently not using these floors as they are being worked on to have more fun things for the students, of course, one of those 'fun' things not being more classrooms. Ame further explained that even the students are unaware of what these fun things could be.
"And here's the duel shop." Ame explained as she pointed her right forefinger to double glass doors which then led to a huge area, filled to the brim with shelves upon shelves of duel monsters accessories, card packs, and much more. The two were currently standing in front of the shop's glass double doors and sweat-dropped as they noticed the ruckus inside, with several students bombarding the front counters. They decided to go in and see what the commotion was about.
"What's going on…" Tsuren was the first to voice out their thoughts.
"These guys keep on for the Special Editions on Dragons Advent." An older woman spoke with an irritated voice, possessing Sawashiro Miyuki's voice. She was carrying several boxes stack on top of one another. Tsuren and Ame looked at her curiously. The woman wore a navy green tanktop and blue jeans with holes in them. She had curly blonde hair stretching down to her shoulders and her eyes were of a blue color. She looked over to Ame and Tsuren with a foul expression.
"You guys aren't a part of them, are you?" She asked in an irritated tone. Ame and Tsuren swiftly shook their heads. "Good." She then looked forward before turning around and walking to the counter. "Line up! And let's get this over with…" The woman grunted. She then looked up to the wall, at a clock which read 6:49 P.M. Her jaw dropped. "Crap. It's this late already!?" Ame and Tsuren could see the troubled expression on her face. It was then that they both thought of an idea.
"Hey!" They both shouted, startling the other. They looked at each other curiously before nodding, then looking forward with expressions of challenge. "Let's duel for the boxes!" They shouted once more. The students looked back to them in wonder before smirking.
"As if you amateurs can take me down!" He mocked.
"Let's go!" Ame expressed cheerfully to Tsuren. She then moved her right hand, entwining her own fingers with Tsuren's finger, to his surprise. He blushed nervously as he looked over to her. The girl smiled brightly as she brought up their entwined fingers. Tsuren had to wonder how she wasn't embarrassed by this at all, but regardless, he smiled back to her.
"Yeah!" He replied excitedly before looking forward with a smirk. Tsuren, Ame, and the other students activated their duel disks as they all shouted,
DUEL!
"Ha…!" Ame heaved out a sigh of relief as she fell back to Tsuren as did he and they then slide down together, with their legs out, hands at their sides and their heads down as they felt life their life force was draining away. The store was completely void of any students, save for Tsuren and Ame, who were now being looked at by the store lady who grinned at the two.
"Good work, both of you." She said to them. "Here's your prizes; they're on me." The lady said. Tsuren and Ame looked over to her, tired and with startled expression.
"But-" Ame started.
"Have it. You guys deserve them." The lady spoke. Ame and Tsuren looked to one another in thought before looking back to the lady and smiling brightly.
"Thanks!" They thanked her.
Now Ame had brought Tsuren to the last place for the tour, which was the Duel Arena they had yet to visit.
"Wow…" Tsuren expressed his amazement as he looked around the circular area, with only two entrances to it, with an entrance opposite of the one they came out from. Concealing the folded bleachers were black walls, stretching all the way from entrance to entrance. Above them was a disco ball-like machine, and to the sides each were blue gems shaped like diamonds, each connected to some type of machine. "So this is hard light technology together with the technology created by Kaiba Corp. over the few years…" Tsuren voiced in astonishment. He looked down to the field before him; the floor was just black but Tsuren could tell that this whole area was in its own world. "But…" Tsuren looked back to Ame who returned a curious expression. Tsuren closed his eyes and frowned. "This just isn't enough to satisfy me…" To that, Ame sighed. They had been to all the different types of Duel Arenas that Reginald Academy had to offer but Tsuren did not find a single one that truly heightened his duelist spirit. "Ame," Tsuren spoke, getting Ame's attention as he smiled at her, "thanks for showing me around…" He spoke weakly, as if fighting back an emotion. Ame smiled in return.
"Don't mention it. But do make sure you show up in your uniform next time." Ame reminded him. Tsuren looked down to his clothes, just as they were when he had arrived on the island. He then looked forward once more with a bright smile.
"That's a no."
"Hehehe. Then, I'll see you later, senpai."
"Yeah." Tsuren replied seriously. Ame turned around and walked away, then a certain thought crossed Tsuren's mind.
"… Wait, 'Senpai'?"
It was now sometime around 7:30 P.M, with the sky becoming darker by the minute, however Tsuren was accustomed to seeing well in the dark by now. Just a few meters away stood a three story dorm building. The floor which connected with the ground had 7 rooms in total, as did the others, and at the left side of the 1st floor was an ascending staircase, leading to the 2nd floor. In front of the staircase was a little area then to its right side was the pathway leading to the 7 rooms the floor occupied and another staircase was seen on the other side. Under the staircase was a small area where one could fit in if they were squeezing their selves in a ball-shape. Tsuren chuckled at that thought as he remembered an old friend of his who could fit in a fair-sized locker and this would be no challenge for his friend at all. And as you may guess, the 3rd floor was similar to the 2nd floor. At the right of the dorm building was a smaller compartment connected to it. Tsuren had assumed that this place was the Dining Area. Upon opening one of the sliding doors of the smaller compartment, his suspicions were identified as he saw two columns of wooden tables complemented with wooden benches, and several Slifer Red students were lined up in front of a machine to get food. As everyone looked back to him curiously, Tsuren's brows twitched and he frowned as he felt somewhat discomforted. He too waited in line for food.
When he finally reached the machine, however long it took, a girl had explained the machine's functions to Tsuren. There were actually two machines. A big machine the size of a vending machine and to its right, connected by a fair-sized metal tube was a machine the size of a washer. The bigger machine had several buttons, and by pressing one a food plate of the chosen type will come out from the bigger machine's slot, also, along with any refreshments you may have bought. The smaller machine is used to heat up or cool down certain beverages & refreshments. What is the tube then for? Apparently you can just let the machine auto-prepare your food if you choose the "Auto" option but people are just accustomed to preparing their own food with their own tastes, literally. Overall, the dorm was very similar to the GX counterpart, but what made this dorm even better…
was the rooms.
Tsuren had finished eating and when his pushed down his door handle to open it, his eyes slowly widened as he was greeted by wonderful scenery. Directly across was double glass doors, with white, almost transparent-like curtains, and beyond the tied-up curtains was the great starry sky, shining radiantly. Tsuren looked over to his left to see hooks to hang his clothes and adjacent to it, at its right was a door which Tsuren believed led to the bathing room and toilet. He walked in and closed the door behind him. To a corner of the room, at the left of the glass doors was a wooden desk, accompanied with a revolving chair, and a PC & lamp atop; it was wonderful. To the right corner, closest to the glass doors was a bunk bed with 3 beds, with enough space to spare for the upmost bed. Tsuren took off his vest and placed it on one of the hooks. He took off his jeans afterwards and changed into some black short pants. He then laid his back down on the lowest bed as he looked up, thinking deeply about something.
"Why was I sent here…?" He wondered. He took his deck into his right hand and spread it out between his hands, examining each card. "Silhouettes… the one deck that has been with me since the beginning, however, it hasn't responded to me since now… Why…?" Tsuren wondered. He sat up, looking down to his hands. "It doesn't add up…" He then looked forward with a determined expression. "I guess I'll have to find the answers myself."
After walking down a dirt path from his dorm to the Academy, he turned over to his left at the main building. Tsuren walked down the tiled ground, looking right and left to the trees then forward towards the Academy's glass doors; as he reached towards the handle to open the door his hand stopped mid-way. He began to feel tense, afraid of any danger that could be lurking within the Academy.
He breathed out slowly, then his expression changing to a composed one as he opened the door. As he walked forward slowly he looked at both sides to the long hallways. He then looked forward to see a reception desk a few meters away or so.
"Hm!?" Upon hearing a sound, Tsuren immediately rush forward, then quick-stepping to his right and running through the long hallway which he had entered. "What!?" Tsuren whispered in a harsh tone. He looked back as he was running. His eyes widened in shock. "It's catching up to me. How!?" He looked forward. Knowing he couldn't outrun this being, Tsuren stopped and slowly turned around. The unknown identity slowly stopped a few meters away, standing within the shadows, whereas Tsuren was standing under a window which had the moon's light shining down dimly on him, though it was still hard to identify any of his facial features.
"Who are you?" A feminine voice questioned, instantly piquing Tsuren's interest. The female's tone was calm yet harsh, possessing Amamiya Sora's voice.
"Rather, who are you?" Tsuren questioned. His eyes then narrowed questioningly as the female remained silent.
She had been analyzing Tsuren as he replied. "Hmph. Seems like you're not here for a fight." The female spoke. It seemed like she would walk to approach Tsuren but then stopped in her tracks. "Damn! Run!" The girl shouted violently and her presence seemed to have disappeared, to Tsuren's shock. It took him a while to register what had happened, and before he could escape, he felt a knee hit him hard in the back and he fell towards the ground.
"Urgh…!" He groaned as he slowly looked up, seeing 5 silhouettes standing in the shadows, in front of him. "Who are you guys…?"
To be continued…
