Light and Darkness
Wow a review after an eternity. Well might as well give another chapter. Thanks for the review dragon3582. Hope you keep liking the rest.
( Following the dark )
Yamato, Lune, and Ultimo couldn't make it to the good dojis's hideout because after the whole fiasco at the city, reporters had chased them down to get a scoop on what happened earlier. Not to mention why they had a boy with wings. So instead they headed for Yamato's apartment to get the brunet doji to rest and heal. Yamato peeked around the corner to his apartment in order to see if any reporter had followed them, so far the cost was cleared which made him grin.
" Ok guys, there is no one out there, so it's smooth sailing from here on!" the taller boy said.
Ultimo looked confused " I don't get it? How can we be sailing if we are standing on land?"
Everyone sweat dropped at his comment. Lune just patted his head " It's an figure of speech, he is saying that it will be easy to get to his apartment without anyone seeing us."
" Oh." Uru said before he sighed " Nine hundred years and you humans get even more complicated with each passing decade." he said as he followed the two teens toward the building while carrying the white winged angel in his arms. They enter the apartment and place the brunet on the bed to rest.
" Well that takes care of that. But I can't help to feel like I have forgotten something." Yamato said as he sat in thought.
" Maybe you forgot the gift for Sayama-san's birthday, again." Lune said in a mocking tone.
In that instant the taller boy stood up in panic " SAYAMA-SAN'S PRESENT!!!" he began to run around the room flailing his arms, while Lune sighed. " Not good, not good! We need to get out there and buy a present for her, her birthday is in a few hours!!"
" But what about the angel Yamato-kun? We can't leave him here alone." the blue hair boy said.
Yamato stopped his raid and looked frustrated by the development. " Don't worry Yamato-sama I can take care of him while you go and buy a present for the female." Uru said.
The taller boy looked uncertain " Are you sure about this Ultimo?"
The red hair doji nodded " Yes. Vice has been injured earlier today, so you don't have to worry about a surprise attack from him. But if you need me just call me and I'll fly there."
" Ok that's settles it! Come on Lune let's go!!" the taller boy grabbed the shorter one and quickly left.
" Hm, Yamato-sama seem to move a lot faster when it comes to this Sayama girl." Uru said to no one in particular.
" That is love for you." a voice replied. Ultimo turned to see Rock sitting on the bed now " Or at least I think it is."
" Rock! You shouldn't even be sitting yet!" the red head doji exclaimed as he gently pushed the other boy until he was laying on the bed.
The brown hair doji pouted " Hey! I'm the ultimate doji of light! A wound like this will never keep me down for long!"
" Yes, but you need to heal in order to get your strength back." Uru said in a scolding voice.
Rock sighed " Fine." he laid in the bed with no indications of getting up.
The ultimate good doji looked at the angel doji with concern " Rock...are you ok?"
The brown hair boy sighed " I guess. I mean, I'm happy and all that Shin is still alive, but to make a vow with that kid? What could have push him to do such a thing?"
" I don't know. That guy has always been a mystery to me...and to be honest he scares me as well. Is darkness supposed to be scary?" the red head asked.
Rock chuckled " No, darkness is like light. They're only elements that one uses for their own purpose. The reason why people fear the dark is because they can't see in it like they can in the light. Darkness has always been misunderstood because of it's nature but what they really should fear is what lies in it. Many bad people had use the darkness for their own because to them it's the perfect element to manipulate. Darkness conceal many things from sight, as for the light exposes them. In reality, light and darkness are the two parts of the same coin, they coexist with each other." he turn to the red hair doji " Just like Good and Evil."
Ultimo just sighed " I guess, but I'm still afraid of him. I mean he is all serious and all, he could easily take Vice's place as the ultimate doji of Evil."
Rock laughed " Yes, yes he can! That's my brother for you!"
The red head looked at him in worry " You still consider him your brother? Even after what he said?"
The white winged angel sighed " Uru, you need to develop a lot more skills to read body language. You see when he said those words he wasn't looking at me directly. Shin only does that when he says something he doesn't mean. Besides, he stop me for doing something stupid. If I would've killed that boy then I would've kill him too. Man, I'm an airhead sometimes."
" Don't worry about that, at least he let you live. But, what are you going to do now?" Uru asked.
Ragnarock yawned before he rubbed his tired eyes " Right now, I'm going to sleep to regain my strength. Then I'll be staying around here. Shin is staying in this city for now, so might as well wait around. I'm bound to find him again, and this time I'll get the answers I want." he said as he closed his eyes.
Meanwhile in a more deserted part of town, the green gloved doji arrived at his hideout grunting and holding his injured arm. He wouldn't be surprise if it suddenly fall off. He opened the door and got many questionable looks for the rest of the residents in the worn out building.
" Not a single fucking question or I'll cut you all to pieces." Vice growl.
At that comment they remained quiet but still eyed him as he made his way to the upper section of the building. He opened a door and was greeted by his master.
" Well you seem to have had trouble with the red head doji this time. Care to tell me what happened?"
" Like hell I would! Beside, it's none of your business K!" the green glove doji growled.
K put his arm in front defensively " Ok, ok. I wasn't looking to push your buttons. It just seem like that goody to shoes Ultimo gave you a beating this time."
Vice scoff " I wish. I was about to end this stupid war when that fucking angel doji showed up and together with Ultimo beat the crap out of me." he sat down on the floor to rest.
" So how did you escape from them alive? If those two were at you together, then you would be scrap metal by now. Escaping with those damages only is a miracle itself, how you do it?"
Vice grinned showing his sharp teeth " That would be my little friend's fault. Do you remember the doji with the black wings I told you about?"
" Ah, the demon doji you said was capable of obliterating the entire world. Don't tell me he help you, a target he aims to kill." the man said raising a brow.
" Not exactly. When I got these damages it was because the sissy and the white bird's attack missed me and headed for a group of people." he grinned maliciously " Apparently, the black doji has a master now and he granted him immortality."
" I-Immortality!!? I didn't know those doji could grant someone immortality!"
" Shut up K!" Vice growled " Apparently they can. His power has grown even greater from the last time we met. If he were to attack right now we all be dead in a matter of seconds. Doesn't the idea excite you!" he grinned wickedly.
" Frankly no, it frightens me such a doji exist!" K asked showing fear.
Vice laughed " If I can make that power mine then the entire world would be my playground! Not even Ultimo could stand against me!" he then turned in thought " But first I need to figure out a way to make him join us, but how?"
" Why don't we kidnap his master? He's bound to do whatever we say if it was like that."
" No. That doji is always close to his master. If we even miss a second in trying to grab him then it's all over and we can't risk that." the evil doji replied seriously before he grinned " Oh well, I'm sure I'll come up with something!" he said. Laughter began to echo around the building.
In another part of town a boy with yellow hair and a green hakama and yellow gloves, wander the city looking around in every direction. It was as if he was looking for something or someone. He had his gloves resting behind his head as he looked around with boredom.
" Man, how am I suppose to find a master with so many people around. I mean which one will I pick?" the boy said looking around.
" Excuse me!" a voice called from behind making the yellow hair boy.
He turned around and came face to face with a smaller boy with a scar above his nose. The boy had a big smile on his face as he stared at the taller dojin. " Yeah, what can I help you with human?"
" Hi! My name is Alma. Are you a karakuridoji?" he said with a smile.
The doji was stunned " How do you know that!?"
" I know because I have a doji too, thou a little cranky most of the times." the boy laughed " Tell me do you have a master already?"
The yellow head doji looked uncertain " No, but I'm still looking."
" Then you wouldn't mind coming with me? I need your help."
" Don't you know who I am? I am Shock, one of the evil dojis. Aren't you afraid?"
Alma tilted his head to his side " So?"
Shock sighed and shook his head " Ok, ok. I'll go with you. Not like I was getting somewhere with finding a master."
" Great! Follow me please!" with that Alma led the confused doji to a building in the middle of the forest. He knocked three time on the door before he open them and once inside the yellow doji eyes widen as he saw a group of dojis staring back at him, the weird part was that they were all a mix of good and evil dojis. Alma turned and smiled " Welcome to my and my dojis hideout!"
Shock looked around, still surprised " Why did you take me here? And why are there good and evil dojis in the same room without killing each other?"
Alma nodded " Of course you would be confuse, most of them had the same expression. You see by now you must already sense the great battle approaching since you were looking for your master right?" he got a nod as an answer " Well my doji and I have been hunting down your creator, Dunstan, in order to kill him and prevent this world from being destroyed."
" Why would I care what happens to this world?" Shock said raising a brow.
" Think this through." another doji, Hex the the spellbound doji and one of the evil side, replied " If we fight that war then we will all perish."
Sun, the solar good doji, nodded " We are nothing more than guinea pigs for that man's amusement."
" You must have something that you like or love in this world, do you not?" an effeminate looking doji, Maha the good enchanter, said in a soft tone.
Shock thought about it for a moment before he nodded " I guess I do. But what do you want me for?"
" Whether my doji admits it or not, finding Dunstan have become a difficult task since he's on to us. So I thought if we had help from many dojis then finding and eliminating him will be a breeze." Alma replied.
" Once again, why should I help?" the yellow hair boy said.
" Because my doji is the one who will destroy all the other ones when the final battle starts. This way I can convince him to spare your lives!" Alma grinned.
Shock eyes widen in fear " Y-You mean y-your doji is the b-black winged demon everyone i-is talking a-about?"
" Yep, that's the on!"
Shock sighed " Well I guess I might as well give it a shot. I don't want to end up on that doji's hit list. Besides, what you say is true. I will not be a test project for that man! Thou I don't have a master, so my power is practically useless."
Alma smiled " Don't worry. All of them don't have a master. But if my plan works then you won't need them."
Shock raised a brow " And if it doesn't?"
" That's why we're standing behind a barrier so that if he doesn't agree we'll have to time to run for our lives!" Sun replied cheerfully while the others nodded.
Shock sweat dropped " Um, right. Let me get over there just in case." he walked to the other side and took an empty space beside the large group.
Alma nodded happily " Now we wait."
It was a few hours later that Shinryu arrived at the abandon building in the middle of the forest. He sighed at another fruitless day at finding Dunstan's whereabouts. He walked toward the door and open them and took a look inside and stop.
" Surprise!!" Alma shouted in front of the large group of dojis.
The door slam shut again. The violet hair doji rubbed his eyes tiredly " Maybe my visual receptors are starting to malfunction, no mother wouldn't make such a flaw. I did NOT see Alma with a group of dojis inside our building. I must be tire, yeah that's it. I'll open the door once more and see only the little brat inside." he opened the doors again.
" Surprise!!" the smaller boy shouted once more with the group of doji staring at him.
He slammed the door shut once more. " This must be what the human called 'seeing things'. But that happens when their drunk or extremely fatigue or sick. I can't get drunk, I'm certainly not that tired, and it's impossible for me to get sick. So, that must mean..." he opened the door once more.
" Surprise!!" yelled Alma again smiling happily with the group of dojis behind him.
There was a moment of silence. " ALMAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Shin roared making the entire building shake before he took a breath. " What in the name of all that is decent is the meaning of this!?" he asked eying the bunch of dojis who flinched at his voice.
The young brunet sweat dropped " Now, now Shinryu-nii I know this all seem too much for you but just listen for a few minutes, ok?"
The black winged doji did not move, he simply cross his arm and waited for the explanation " Alright Alma, I'll humor you. Why are there many dojis, from both sides no less, in our secret base or should I say exposed base?"
" Well, they're here to help you defeat Dunstan!"
Shin eyes narrow " You think I need help in killing the old man?"
Alma shook his head " Of course not! What I meant to say was they're here to help you find him faster. You see our planet is a very big place and there are a lot of people living in it. Dunstan can easily hide by blending with them, even more when he knows we're looking for him to kill him. So why not get help from his own creations, after all he is bound to appear anywhere at any time. Especially since the final battle is getting near. These guys are willing to help you because they had something important they want to protect, so what do you say?" he added a big hopeful smile.
The violet hair bow had a brow raised before he turned to the group behind him " He promised you that I wouldn't destroy you if you help me find the old man, right?" the entire group dojis nodded making Alma chuckle nervously. Shin sighed " Alma why on earth would you come up with a crazy idea like this, even more promising something without my consent?"
Alma sighed " I just wanted to help you achieve your goals faster. With just me it had taken a long time to track him...so I thought if I could get some dojis to agree with helping you out, it would be more faster and you'll had more friends."
To everyone's surprise the black winged doji did not get mad, instead he chuckled " You are such a pain in the ass sometimes you know Alma? But I guess that's why we met all those years ago." he said making the boy smiled. He then turned to the dojis " Alright you dojis listen up! I don't trust you fully since you're Dunstan's creation, but since Alma went through all the trouble of getting this many under one roof then I guess I might as well give it a shot."
" Really!? I knew you would agree with me!" Alma said jumping with joy.
Shock took same brave steps toward the dark doji " Excuse me s-sir." he notice that Shin was looking at him and he gulped " Y-You see we don't have a master yet, so our powers aren't even awaken yet. So we're currently powerless."
" But even with that, there is no way we can stand against the seven deadly sins." Hex said bitterly.
" Or the seven virtues, much less against the ultimate good and evil. I really don't know what use you can have for us." Sun added.
" I see. Then I guess I'll have to lend you some powers." at that statement several spheres of black energy appeared around Shin before each one headed out and fused with each and everyone of the dojis. A dragon mark appeared on their gloves and all of them could feel the sudden strength that they just gain, it was more power than what they were originally capable of. They all stood in awe and amazement before the red eye angel spoke " Now, you all have your powers awaken and I enhance it so you'll be on fighting grounds with those fourteen dojis and you won't need a master, thou you still need to be careful around Ultimo and Vice." he then turned serous " Just remember, I gave you this powers and I can take them away."
" Who would want to betray you!? You gave us a chance to live plus this strength! Heck, I'll follow you anywhere!" Sun answer with a smile while the other nodded.
Shin smirked " That's good to hear. Now, here's what you're going to do. Since I'll be out searching as well, I'll need two dojis to guard Alma. Hex and Sun you two will be the first to guard my master, guard him with your life." he said seriously while the other two nodded. " You will all take turns on guarding Alma and searching the city. Alright, since I already gave you your assignments here is my frequency to get in touch with me in case you find something. Everyone knows what to do, spread out and find the old man while blending in. Don't make me regret sparing your lives."
The rest of the dojis nodded before they took flight in different directions and disappeared from sight. The black winged doji was about to take flight as well before he was stooped by the brunet boy " Shinryu-nii, are you sure you're going to let them live?" the question made the two dojis standing behind him tense. " I mean, they seem pretty serious about helping and following you."
The violet hair boy stood there in silence for a while before he spoke " That all depends on them. If I see that they are no longer loyal to Dunstan, then yes they'll live. Just remember Alma, just because they say they will help us out doesn't mean they're to be trusted so easily. Time, will tell us the answer." with that he walked out and took to the sky, disappearing from view.
