"Emerald Blaze!"

"...! Tommy, watch out!" Takuya held out his hands, absorbing the flames heading towards the Ice Spirit Slayer.

"Takuya...?" Tommy looked at the elder Slayer, surprised that he had actually defended him. He wasn't Korikakuma… Only Korikakuma would protect him!

"No one will be harmed by flame!" Takuya said, adjusting his goggles, "Not as long as I'm around." He then created a fireball in his hand, "Flame Toss!"

He threw it at the strange three-headed dog that had attacked them, but it didn't do much.

"Destroy the… Destroy the Spirits! Destroy them and their Children!" The dog spoke, barely moving its mouth.

"Destroy… us…?" JP muttered, eyes widening.

"Shut up!" Takuya yelled at the dog, "You can't destroy us, and you can't destroy Aguni! 'Cause everyone in this world… is a Spirit! That's what Aguni told me!"

Unknown to everyone, Koji was watching this fight closely. He didn't want to interfere… It wasn't his fight.

Besides… He wanted to see what the son of the Leader of the Spirits, the 'Igneel' of the Spirits, according to LoboWolf, could do.

So far… it wasn't much.

Takuya balled up his fists and the dog tried to hit him with fire. The fire was just absorbed by Takuya's body.

"The Spirit of Fire… That's my magic! It can burn the soul of anything!" Takuya began to punch the air quickly, his fists becoming enveloped in fire, "Fire Spirit's Burning Salamander!"

He punched further, the flames beginning to take the form of a small dragon. He punched once more, sending the dragon at the dog.

It defeated the dog in one hit, leaving it a burning black carcass.

"You… killed it!" Tommy yelped.

"Not really. They're Spirits. He'll revive, probably." JP said.

"Let's go check this place out." Zoe spoke up, placing a blonde piece of hair behind her ear. The boys nodded, and they set off into the village.

-LoboKendo-

"Ruuuuuun!" shrieked a voice.

"Run?! Run where?!"

"Anywhere! We can't let the book be damaged by those Pagu Spirits!"

Takuya blinked as he heard these voices, soon slammed into by two creatures.

One was small, white, with a pink haramaki and had horns on his head and pointed ears. The other was rabbit-like, yellow and wore oversized red pants. A green book had fallen out of the white creature's arms, now held by a blinking, though otherwise straight-faced, Koji.

"A-Are you two alright?" Tommy asked, shaking a bit out of fear. He didn't like this place… He wanted Korikakuma! He wanted to go back home, to the snowy regions!

"We are just fi-" the white creature stood as he spoke, and looked at the group of Slayers, "H-Humans! Humans here?!" he freaked, but soon began to bow.

"You must be the Spirit Slayers! The children of the Legendary Warriors! A honor, a honor!"

"How do you know of us?" Zoe asked. The creature swiped his book from Koji.

"Because you're in our legends! Or at least, your parents! Humans can only come here if they are connected to, or use, Pure Spirit!"

"And… who're you?" Takuya asked.

"I'm Bokom." the white creature bowed again slightly, since he was now holding his book, "And that dimwit," he pointed to the yellow rabbit who was blinking at the group stupidly, "Is Nea."

"I'm Takuya."

"I'm JP."

"I'm T-Tommy…"

"I'm Zoe! Its nice to meet you."

"O-Oh, the pleasure's all mine!"

"I'm Koji." Koji huffed.

"So… what were you guys running from?" Takuya asked. Bokom pointed back, where strange creatures were approaching.

"Those… They're Pagu Spirits. They like to play pranks, and they've been after my book!" Bokom said, hugging his book.

"What's so important about that book?" Koji asked bluntly.
"It holds this world's secrets! Its legends!" Bokom replied. Koji seemed to frown.

"I'll get them off your back." he spoke, as two handles appeared in his hands.

"Ha! With those handles?! They don't even have a blade!" JP mocked.

"Che. Appearances aren't everything." Koji scoffed, crossing his arms over his chest and head in the shape of an X,
"Licht Schwert swords… activate."
