Kisdota: Okay everytime I work on one of these it's easy, everytime I work on my Persona fic it takes forever for a mere 100 words. What the hell is wrong with me?
In the depts of the Emerald Forest Yin was walking around one of the more misty parts of the forest. After crashing through the forest and landing he started lookin frantically for someone else to partner up with. However he had been walking alone far longer than he wanted, Yin assumed that at least his brother would appear to him after some time, but now he was just getting bored.
"Helloooo!?" Yin called out to anyone, "Anybody? Bro? Jack Frost's ass? Fluffy blonde? I'm booooored!
As he was walking he finally heard a rustle in the bushes nearby, with a new smile on his face he started to investigate pushing aside some of the bushes.
"Hey! Finally! You wanna partner up!?" Yin questioned looking to see who it was, "… aww crawdads."
"GRAAWWRL!" an Ursa the size of a small car suddenly lunged at Yin swiping its large claw at him. Yin was quick to react and rolled to the left letting the Ursa pass by him. He activated his weapon, yellow gold plating from his wrist covered his lower arms and he readied for a fight.
"RWAARRL!" just then a second Ursa arrived and swiped at him, Yin just leaned back as far as his tonned body would allow and let the bear just past him joining the other Urse, the two Grimm stood side by side sizing up Yin and Yin did the same.
"Bring it!" Yin taunted.
"GRAWRL!" the first Ursa made another leap at him, its arm stretched out ready to kill Yin, but his swipe was far to slow and Yin jabbed at the Ursa's stomach.
*BANG* Yin's weapon fired a shotgun blast shooting the Ursa back from Yin before it could even hurt him. The second Ursa then leaped forward, but before it could even attack Yin uppercutted the bear sending it up before Yin delivered a midair roundhouse kick sending it back again.
"Hey have you two seen a little guy? Red? Attracted to shiny sharp things?" Yin asked the two Ursa's jokingly.
"RWAARRRR!" they growled angrily at him.
"You guys have one heavy accent," Yin joked again as another Ursa made a swipe for him. Yin just back flipped once, but the Ursa did a second swipe with its other claw and once again Yin did a long back flip out of the danger.
"Wow, you're the enemy I'm learning to fight?" Yin questioned with confidence, "You guys are slow-… -wer… than," as he was taunting the two Yin's eye caught something fluttering in the air, it was small, shiny, gold, conditioned, and very well maintained.
A strand of his hair slowly fluttered onto the ground and fell in the dirt. His once Lilac eyes suddenly started to turn red.
"No one…," Yin trailed off with anger raising in his voice, the two Ursa's looked at each other for a second in a state of confusion.
"No one MESSES! WITH! MY! HAIR!" Yin's hair suddenly exploded into flames, he was somehow propelled forward leaving a trail of fire behind him. Heading for the nearest Ursa he sent a harsh punch into it's face and seconds later he gave it an uppercut.
The Ursa was suddenly flying through the air, tumbling as Yin delivered punch after punch of blast enhanced explosive fist.
"HYYAAAAH!" *BANG* Yin delivered one final super charged punch launching the Ursa away as it knocked over any of the trees in the way. Though it was now out of eyesight Yin didn't need to check to know that the Grimm was dead.
The other Ursa didn't falter and approached Yin as well.
"What!? You want some Bitch!?" Yin said still angry.
"GRAAWR!" the Ursa started to stand on it's hind legs preparing to attack, Yin didn't back up at all and was ready to kill this Grimm as well.
"GRAAAA-*chink* -aa," the Ursa's loud growl suddenly stopped, it's gaze on Yin suddenly ceased and the Ursa fell forward.
Yin looked into the back of the Ursa's neck, a large blade with a gun on it was now sticking out of it. Tied to the blade was a long black ribbon like rope that went back to a familiar boy wearing a beanie.
With a flick of his wrist Noire called back his weapon, catching the gun part of it before storing it on his back and giving Yin a knowing smirk.
Yin calmed down, his eyes went back to being lilac, and looking over the dead Ursa carcass.
"I could have taken him," Yin argued.
*CLANG*
Eis blocked a swipe from a Beowolf with his blade, though the force was enough to knock him back a few feet he was able to maintain his footing. More Beowolfs gathered and started to surround Eis, each one of them started to close in on him. Eis merely stood in place readying himself.
"Alright… this is the moment you've been training for," Eis said, "Shoulders spread, breathing even, left foot forward… no make that right."
Eis raised his weapon, poised in front of him like a gun ready to strike down the largest Beowolf in front of him.
"Just wait… just wait," Eis said waiting for the Beowolf to try and attack him. The Grimm got on all fours as it readied itself.
"NOW!" the small chamber in Eis's sword spun around, a small click and his weapon was suddenly filled with red dust. Eis shot forward like an arrow with his sword outward pointed right for the Beowolfs head.
*SLASH* "HYAH!" Garnet suddenly teleported in front of the Beowolf Eis was attacking.
"WHOA!" Eis immidiatly tried to halt his attack, but the charge in his sword was still growing. He stumbled as he tried to stop and swung his weapon to the right, a crescent blade of red fight shot out of his sword and sliced a nearby tree in half and setting it on fire.
"Whoa," Garnet was distracted by fire and almost got cut by the Beowolf. Using his weapon as a shield he was knocked back by the Beowolf and crashed into Eis.
"Whoa watch where you're going!" Garnet said.
"W- Excuse me!?" Eis questioned annoyed at him, "You got right in front of me as I was attacking, I nearly killed you!"
"That's debatable," Garnet told him as he raised his weapon, Eis just rolled his eyes annoyed at Garnet and focused on the other Beowolfs around him. Garnet dropped the clip in his weapon and switched it out with a full one.
"HOOWWWLL!" some of the Beowolfs started to howl and disperse, Eis was questioning this for a second until he got his answer.
*CRASH* A tree nearby suddenly fell over, the same one the Eis engulfed in flames, the fire around them started to spread out burning everything and more Beowolfs started to run away.
"Perfect," Eis said annoyed, "We need to go."
"Wait but I-!"
"NOW!" Eis pulled on Garnet's arm as the two of them ran off.
Eis and Garnet both hurried off as fast as they could from the flames, smoke pillowed in the background.
Eis started panting from their long run, but Garnet just looked annoyed at Eis for some reason.
"The hell was that about!? We could have easily taken them!" Garnet argued with Eis.
"huff… huff, In case you're completely unaware, thanks to you getting in the way of my attack the forest was set on fire!" Eis yelled at him.
"Wh-! My fault!?" Garnet yelled.
"Well it was either re-direct my attack! Or slice through you with a blade made of fire reaching 1800 degrees! And quite honestly I think I should have just given you a quick death instead of the painful one you'll most likely blunder yourself into!" Eis told him.
"Hey! I didn't need you to do anything! I could have taken every one of those Grimm on my own," Garnet argued.
"Well too bad!" Eis told him, "In case you also aren't aware! You're not on your own! You're on a team with me, whether you like it or not, and I can certainly say that I don't like it!"
"Well then next time just get out of the way!" Garnet said.
"Oh certainly!" Eis said sarcastically, "Whatever the little boy wants," he said before walking off.
"W-You-!... GRRRAAAH!" Garnet grabbed his weapon in a fit of rage and swung it at the tree closest to him.
*SLICE* His weapon cut clean through and the tree fell over with a loud timber.
Pyrrhus took point as he traversed the forest with Jean following close behind. While the two were walking Jean heard a loud bang causing her to jump a bit in surprise. Pyrrhus heard it to and turned to where the sound originated from.
"Gunfire," Jean said confirming what they heard.
"Our comrades are all fighting as well… we should get moving now," Pyrrhus said, hastening his pace Pyrrhus pushed aside a branch in his way, the flexible wood then whipped back into place where Jean's head was at the time. With a quiet "eep!" she was knocked onto the ground, a small scar on her cheek bleeding in the place she was struck.
"Oh my gosh! Jean I'm so sorry are you okay?" Pyrrhus said worried for his partner.
"I-I'm fine, don't worry about it," Jean said getting back up, Pyrrhus was about to help her up, but he suddenly took notice of the scar on her cheek.
"That's odd," Pyrrhus stated staring at her.
"W-What? Is there something on my face?" Jean asked nervously.
"Yes actually, why did you get a scar here?" Pyrrhus said tracing the area on her cheek with his finger, Jean seemed to tense up a bit at his touch, "Why did your Aura not protect you?" he asked her.
"My… what?" Jean questioned.
"Your Aura," Pyrrhus said.
"My what?"
"Aura."
"What what?"
"… Jean… do you not know what an Aura is?" Pyrrhus said noticing the confused look on her face.
"Uh… yeah… I've read all about them," Jean said confidently.
"You have?"
"… no… I lied and I don't know why," Jean said dejected.
"sigh," Pyrrhus sighed (only slightly), "Jean, Aura is a manifestation of our souls."
Rei was walking along through the forest, still alone and partner less. She was still looking for Nore, despite his planning for a signal, that they had no idea on how to understand, she still wasn't able to find her desired partner/friend/boy who repeatedly tells girl he is friend not boyfriend (or as he called it for short: bfwhooretelghisfrienobeef).
"It holds the weight of our sin, and protects our hearts," Pyrrhus said, "Have you ever felt like there was a presence near you, one that you couldn't see?"
"Uh… well sometimes," Jean said.
As Rei was walking she sensed someone, or something, closing in on her from behind. A large black King Taijitu, a snake like Grimm, slithered up behind her and slowly raised its head from the tall grass, looking upon its next meal. The large Grimm quickly surrounded itself around Rei before coiling itself in front of her.
Rei merely raised her arms into a stance she learned from her families fighting style.
The black King Taijitu attacked.
"With proper training our Aura is able to protect us," Pyrrhus continued on with his lesson, "Aura is something that all things living posses."
"Even the monsters?" Jean questioned.
"No… the monsters that we fight have no soul in them."
Rei backflipped out of the Grimm's attack and continued to flip back, but the King Taijitu was quicker and charged at Rei. She quickly tried to block it, but the monster rammed into her, hurtling her back. Rei was able to land on her feet, a bit shaky but still fine.
"The monsters are the creatures of Grimm, they aren't the manifestation of souls, they are the manifestation of anonymity," Pyrrhus said, "They are the darkness, and we are the light."
The Grimm started to coil again, this time around Rei attempting to trap her in a prison of scales. Rei summoned both of her Storm Flower's from her sleeves and did a tremendous leap straight up to the open area. With a couple of acrobatic flips Rei then aimed both of her weapons right at the Grimm.
*ratatatatatatata* Rei let fourth a barrage of bullets at the Grimm, but its skin was so tough it didn't look as though it was doing anything. The Grimm then tried to ram Rei again with it's head.
"So… that's why we fight them," Jean concluded.
Spinning around Rei delivered a heavy kick right at the King Taijitu's head, knocking it down and slamming the back of its head onto the ground. Rei leapt forward and sliced at the King Taijitu with her weapon, it got right back up and tried to bite her shooting its head right at her. Rei was too quick and got away and the monster only ended up crashing into the ground.
"The why doesn't matter, it's the knowing that does."
Rei then stomped right on the King Taijitu's head and imbedded both of her blades right into the head of the monster.
"Understanding both is what helps us all manifest our Aura."
Rei suddenly sensed another presence and behind her came another white King Taijitu's head.
"Within all of us is both light, and darkness."
Rei sideflipped out of the way from the swipe of the white King Taijitu's jaws, Rei looked over the monster and saw that it wasn't two King Taijitu's, but one, both of them connected to each other by the tail.
"By using our Soul and forcing its power outward we can use it to block attacks, all the tools and equipment we hold are conduits for our aura and we use our Aura to make the weapons we wield more deadly."
The black King Taijitu shot forward first, Rei was able to jump right over its head and started running along its long body, sliding over it like she was grinding a rail on skates. Rei started firing all over its body trying to see if there was just one weak spot on it.
In the skirmish Rei didn't notice the white King Taijitu and it rammed into Rei as wellknocking her onto the ground. Rei tried to hurry and get up, but the black King Taijitu had already struck and closed its jaws and fangs around her.
"NO!"
"Whoa… so… its like superpowers?" Jean questioned excited.
"I suppose that's one way of putting it," Pyrrhus said.
Using both of her hands, Rei pressing the tips of the two largest fangs in the King Taijitu's mouth. Both of her hands were glowing a light magenta in color, and the creatures sharp fangs weren't able to pierce her skin. The Grimm tried to push her back, but she wasn't letting up.
In a split second Rei grabbed ahold of both of the fangs and pulled on them.
*SHATTER*
Screaming out in pain, the King Taijitu had lost both of his teeth. Rei was now holding them both. In a fit of anger the Grimm tried to bite Rei again. This time Rei did a slight spin to the side and avoided the Grimm's attack. When the creature was in place Rei then slammed one of the fangs right into the monsters eye.
A split second later Rei then gave the fang a palm thrust right into the creature's eye.
A pulse of pin magenta and the fang then seemed to travel right through the creatures head. It seemed to grow for a second like a ripple through water before the King Taijitu's head then exploded leaving a bloody mess of a stump right where its head used to be.
The white King Taijitu roared in anger and Rei and it started another fight against each other.
"Now… close your eyes and concentrate," Pyrrhus said placing a hand at the back of Jeans neck.
"U-uh Pyrrhus," Jean said nervously.
"Shh, just close your eyes and allow it to happen," Pyrrhus told her as he closed his own eyes.
"U-Uh… o-okay," Jean said slightly afraid, but closed her own eyes as well.
For a second Pyrrhus's body started to glow red, his eyes shot open, and his pupils slightly shrunk.
"For it is in passing that we achieve immortality, through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul, and by my shoulder, protect thee."
Jeans own body was started to glow a bright white. When Pyrrhus let go of Jean he slumped over. Jean opened her eyes and noticed her own body was glowing, but she became more concerned over Pyrrhus.
"Pyrrhus!? Are you okay?" she asked worried.
"I'm fine," Pyrrhus told her catching his breath, "I was able to use my own Aura to unlock yours, now you have your own power to protect you."
Pyrrhus looked over to the scar on Jeans cheek. In a second the scar started to glow and soon it disappeared completely, like it was never there.
"You have quite a lot of Aura in you," Pyrrhus said impressed.
Jean looked over her own body which was still glowing a heavenly white.
"Wow," she said, even as the light started to fade.
"Phew," Rei sighed, she was standing on the corpse of the King Taijitu. Slipping both weapons back into her sleeves before brushing herself off.
*knock knockknock knock knock*
Rei suddenly heard a couple of knocks near her. In the form of some familiar tune.
*knock knockknock knock knock*
…..
*knock knockknock knock knock*
…
*KNOCK KNOCKKNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
"Nore I know you're here, there's no reason for us to-." *KNOCK KNOCKKNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
"sigh," Rei sighed in slight annoyance, she took out one of her guns and aimed it at the head of the still dead Grimm.
*KNOCK KNOCKKNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
*bang bang*
"WOO!" Nore suddenly fell from the trees above landing right in front of Rei. This would scare most people but Rei was used to Nore's surprising habits.
"Even though we don't know morse code, I'm sure that that's not how it goes," Rei told Nore who had a happy look on his face.
He said nothing, only placing the tip of his left forefinger onto her nose.
"beep."
