"How dare he?! Walking among us like he did nothing wrong!" A whispery voice could be heard in the distance.
Ayato heard it and tried to look at where the whisper came from but he kept on walking instead.
"Such a disgrace!" This time, the voice was lacing with venom.
"Keep quiet fool! If he hears us, we all are good as rotten meat!" Another whisper, but unlike the others, fear acompannied the whisper.
Ayato have long sinced gave up on turning his head and just kept on walking, after hearing the last whisper, he just couldn't help but smile.
"Look at him, he's taunting us with that smirk of his! After stealing his brother's eyes, he still has the gall to act like that?!"
Ayato felt his legs suddenly came to a stop.
Anger.
He felt it, anger invading his body, making him think of thoughts that wasn't healthy. He had no idea but he suddenly wants to murder the man who said that.
"He heard you! You're dead man!"
"Tsk. If we all team up, we can show him his place!"
"Can we really defeat him?"
"Of course! What good is 1 pair of sharigan against fifty?"After that last sentence, Ayato felt their unexplainable force inside of them rising.
Chakra.
Ayato remembered. It was chakra. He could sense their chakra levels rising, and a portion of it was being distributed to their eye coils.
Ayato saw everything going black but not even a second after that, he saw his vision came back but there's something different this time.
He can understand everything in perfect detail, like how many dust particle is floating right now falling to the ground.
Everything was also in slow motion, he can see a cat sprinting but it seems slow, and its action seems predictable.
Ayato then feels his head turning to the direction of where he felt so many chakra level rise. He felt his lips curving in a not so friendly manner which can be conveyed as arrogant.
"Hn.Then come at me with your sharingan!" Ayato said, his voice coming back.
That triggered a chain reaction. Most of them pulled out some kunai, some pulled out a katana and some were content with just their godly eyes.
Silence.
Well, that was until a wheezing sound penetrated the air.Ayato saw a lone kunai heading towards him, he contemplated on whether to jump back or sidestep the projectile but it seems like his body has different ideas.
His right hand quickly rose, tilting his head to the side just out of the way of the kunai, but just before it pass him, he caught it in the handle and throwed it back to where it came from.
Thud.
All of them heard the sound, the sound of a something heavy hitting the ground, and all of them knew what it was, a dead body.
The remaining 49 Uchihas didn't even saw the projectile even with their eyes.Normally, this is where they realized that it's time to retreat but their arrogance overpowered that thought, thinking that their sharingan is superior to their enemy.
With a sense of new motivation, all of them looked directly in the eyes of their enemy, their enemy which also holds the godly sharingan.
But they're forgetting one thing,their enemy has the..Mangekyou.
Ayato felt his eyes sting for a second, then looking at his enemies, he realized that everything seemed much slower than usual, everything seems more detailed.
Gasp of shocks immediately went of the opposing forces.
"The Mangekyou!"
"How.. how could we forget?"
"Madara Uchiha.. the sole bearer of the mangekyou!"
'Madara?' Ayato thought, confusing setting in, but before he could voice his complaints, he realized that he's already in front of another person.
He saw it.
Fear.
Fear was so visible in the eyes of the person in front of him.
Raising his left hand, he leans it backward and without warning thrusted it the person in front of him, in the are a where his heart was located.It was where it was located, that was until it was rippes out and crushed.
"48." Ayato suddenly said, he don't know why but he suddenlt felt like saying it, like he was programmed to.After saying that, he did one two handed seals,
"Fire Style: Majestic Flame Destroyer!"
Thin flames came out of his mouth, after a second, it grew in enourmous size, like a raging volcano, and like a raging volcano, the only way to live is to escape, but several of them were astonished to even move a muscle.
Screams of agony rang through the air, pleading for mercy,
The flames lasted for a minute before dying, taking 28 lives with it.
The remaining twenty Uchiha's were quaking and faltering but their arrogance just wouldn't let them retreat.
Red swirling eyes scanned the remaining foes, which results into 19 Uchihas standing,
'I only burnt 28 Uchihas in that technique, there should be 20 of the-' That line of thought was severed as person thinking about it was engulfed in flames, the last thing he heard was, "Fire Style:Great Fireball Technique".
-Line Break-
"Did... did you got him?" A quaky voice broke the fearful tension that reigned the air.
"Yeah. His Chakra signature is gone."
"Ha. It seems even the Great Uchiha Madara would be defeated. The outcome was obvious from the start, he can't beat all that sharingans at once!" An arrogant voice remarked.
"Now, to choose a ne-" The sentence was never finished as a fountain of blood flowed through the air on where his head was once located.
Snap.
Thud.
Another Uchiha dropped dead.
"Shit! He's alive! Find him!" A panicked voice rang through the air.
"Defend all sides!"
18 Uchihas flanking each others side by side stands ominously.
"I see him!" A fear filled voice shouted.
"What?! But he's on my side!"
"No! He's here!"
Fear and Uncertainty gripped the hearts of the remaining Uchihas, that was until one Uchiga noticed something odd, then it dawned on him, Illusion.
"It's an Illusion!" He shouted.
No more words was needed. All of them started sychronizing their chakras and broke the illusion.
Relief flooded their bodies, but it was cut short as they heard a distinct sound in the distance.
What they saw made their bloods stop in their tracks, for their foe, was shrouded by a purple aura that looks like a ribcage, and behind it was what looked like a scythe.
Without another word, their foe launched his attacked, reaching great lenghts, reaching even those that tried to escape.
In the end, the fifty Uchihas that fought him was reduced to just one measly man.
"S-spare m-me p-p-pl-ease Madara-sama!" The man managed to croak that out despite his injuries.
Ayato stood unwavering looking at the last Uchiha, the fact that he has been again called Madara did not bothered him.
"You dare rebel against your clan head and spout insults, for your insolence, you must suffer." Ayato was surprised himself on how arrogant he sounded.
With that said, his red eyes started to spin.
The last remaining man tried to close his eyes, but something seems to keep his eyes open no matter how hard he tries to close them.
Ayato looked on as the man writhe and scream, after a full minute, the man stopped struggling, as if being content on just staring into space, but these eyes no longer have life in them.
"Ayato!" A soft voice called.
Ayato tries looking left and right but he still can't move his body.
"Ayato!" There it is again. Ayato noticed that it seems to be coming from all direction. Then he wondered,
"Ayato? Who's Ayato?"
-LINE BREAK-
Ayato woke up with a startle, recollecting what happened in the dream, he remembered the soft voice.
"Ayato?"
He heard the voice again, but this time it's in front of him, looking up, he noticed a pretty pink haired girl looking at him in worry.
'Who is this woman?' Ayato wondered, he seemed to be forgetting something.
Then it hit him. The girl in front of him is his battle partner, Julis.
"Yes, Julis?" Ayato replied after what seemed like forever to Julis.
"You were talking in your sleep, saying things I don't quite understand." Julis asked with confusion evident on her voice.
"What things?"
"Things lik-. Nevermind. Our battle is up next, are you ready?"
"Of course I'm ready."
"Good. I don't want you to mess up because something is holding you back."
"Julis, I promised you that I'll be the one to protect you, If you're ready then I'm ready." Ayato said with a smile.
This of course triggered a reaction from Julis. Her cheeks redenned and she started to stutter.
"W-w-why a-are you saying such iressponsible t-things!" Julis' face became more hot, unable to collect her composure, she walked to the bathroom with indiferrence, well as much as she can be indiferrent at her state.
Ayato looked away, making a gesture of an upward motion, a screen appeared in front of him. In the screen was a photo of two man, one with red hair and the other without one.
'Jie Long's Rank #20 and #23' Ayato thought, thinking up a strategy.
'It wouldn't be hard to beat them at full power. I guees I should do that.'
'Except you wouldn't be able to.' A voice in his head butted in.
'Wouldn't be able to? What do you mean? I thought you said you already broke the seal?'
'The seal was more complex than I thought, it's designed so that even eye techniques wouldn't be able to instantly bypass them. Since I broke a part of the seal, you wouldn't be able to use it until tomorrow. Part of the reason you had that dream." Madara explained with a grunt at the end.
'Then if I can't use my full power tomorrow, our chances of winning against them is low. Dream? I remember that dream, they kept calling me Madara. They say you stole your brother's eye. Is it true?'
Madara ignored the question procedeed to explain things.
'You already have that power. You just have to awaken it.'
Ayato waited for a few more seconds but there wasn't any explanations.
'What do you mean? How can I awaken it?' Ayato asked but no replies came. He tried again and again but it seems his effort is futile.
"Ayato?" Ayato was broken out of his thoughts, looking at his left, he saw Julis standing there looking at him in worry.
"What is it?"
Julis decided to not ask about the things she heard, and instead said , "Our match is up next. Let's go."
-LINE BREAK-
A round of cheers and applauses came from the crowd.
"Here we are! The last match of round 5 of the Phoenix Festa! Which team will claim the final berth of the quarterfinals?"
"Since this year's team are of high caliber, I'd say every one of them has a shot of winning it all!"
"Now then, why don't we introduce the quarterfinalist to watch?"
"First of all, this year's front runner, Arlequint's all-powerful, bleeding edge puppters, AR-D and RM-C!"
"And here are Jie Long's prized twin demon, Shenyun Li a.k.a Phantom Fog Disperser and Shenhua Li a.k.a Phantom Creator!"
"Fighting the Silver winged Knight's pride and honor, Elliot Forster and Doroteo Lemus of Galahadworth."
"Seidoukan Academy owns this match. Can they stand their ground? Kirin Todou and Saya Sasamiya!"
"But, speaking of Seidoukan Academy, we also need to keep an eye on the Amagiri-Riessfield team!, who are up next!"
"If what is swrling around true, then victory is already assured for Amagiri and Riessfield."
"But who knows? Their opppnets might just have an ace up their sleeve."
Cheers erupted in all directions of the crowd.
"Now this is a match to watch in every sense!
"Seidoukan Academy's Ayato Amagiri and Julis-Alexia von Riessfield have arrived onstage!"
"And Jie Long's 7th academy's Song and Lou have also arrives onstage."
Defeaning cheers went out again.
Julis looks on at the crowd but Ayato seems to be more content on looking at their opponents.Song and Lou seems to have noticed this and gave him a smile.
Not a normal smile. It's a smile that says they have a plan, a very tricky plan and it sent chills all over Ayato's body.
'I've got a bad feeling about this.' Ayato thought, hands hovering over his lux.
-Line Break-
A/N: That update took a lot longer than I expected. I've decided to continue the story, the update should've been out weeks ago, but something came up and I'm unable to use my pc, and wasn't able to save the original chapter. I've shortened this one out for suspense.
Also, I've just found out that FF has an app for smartphones, although still in the early version, and I can't seem to find the line breaker. Until my pc goes online again, this will have to suffice.
Later!
