Infiltrators Arc: Infiltration
It was only a few days ago that Carbon Dragon was slain from the accelerated world for good by the hands of the black legion. The event, now known as the Dragon Incident, was finally over but the lasting effects will be devastating. The yellow and purple legions are in chaos without a proper king to lead them and power struggles have ensued. Not only that but the blue and green legions are in panic, the red legion is also in a panic like state since the red king was nearly slayed herself. It is due to this that, even though they have significantly fewer numbers, the black legion is considered to be in the highest position after the incident and a certain legion is in fear that they will strike.
5 Days Later
Kings Chamber; Blue Legion; Accelerated World
It is here, in the blue legions keep, that the blue king is meeting with his most closest adviser to discuss a plan to begin an infiltration of the black legion.
"My king, surely we can find a way to avoid such a thing."
"I'm sorry adviser but my decision is final."
"But we must surely find a way to avoid such drastic measures, this is in direct violation of the non aggression treaty!"
"The black king, as far as i'm concerned, is no long a member of the kings of pure colors therefor i have full right to initiate this operation."
"While you are technically right, the black king is still a level nine and can crush anyone that we through at her. Not only that but she now has this Nova fellow who can even go toe to toe with a king, and he's only a level 8!"
"That's why i have selected a certain team of individuals that can take him on if they follow certain steps of course."
"Then who are these 'select' individuals if i may ask."
"Fine, step right on in."
"Wait they're here?!"
The door to the chamber slowly opened to find three people standing there with their shadows entering into the room. When the chamber doors were fully opened the three shadows stepped forward an as they entered the breach into the room the doors began to close once again. By the time the doors closed the three people were now standing in front of the blue king and his adviser.
"Adviser i'd like you to meet the three-man team that will infiltrate the black legion, men introduce yourselves!"
"Sapphire Hoplite reporting sir!" Said the one to the left who looked like an ancient spartan hoplite armed with a large spear on his back.
"Iris Revolution sir!" Spoke the one in the middle with a female voice, she looked like a french musketeer armed with a rapier on her side.
"Zaffre Samurai reporting in!" The one on the right said, he looked like and edo period samurai with a large katana on his right side, he was also the first opponent Bryce faced in Japan.
"My king, this is a well put together team but Nova easily defeated Zaffre without breaking a sweat." Samurai grunted and clenched his fist in response.
"That is true, but i have chosen him for the fact that he has the lust for revenge and the desire to restore his honor." The advser looked at the team and then the king before speaking once again.
"I know that i can't make you change your mind once you have set it to a fixated cause, but in my opinion this is not only wrong but will end in failure."
"Do you doubt your king adviser?"
"Of course not, i was merely expressing my opinion on that matter. Now if you will excuse me i should take my leave, as my counseling is apparently no longer needed."
The adviser opened the doors to the chamber and exited without saying a word and after he left the doors slammed back loudly.
"My king don't you think that was a little harsh?"
"A little i will admit, but he needed to be put in his place for the time being. Now then let me explain why i choose you three for this."
He directed them over to a large round table in the room and pulled up a playback video of the final moments of the fight between Dragon and Nega Nebulus that began to play.
"As you can see this video shows the climax of the battle between Carbon Dragon and Nega Nebulus."
"How exactly did we obtain this video if you do not mind me by asking?"
"The source of which would like to remain classified."
"Understood."
"Now as you can see Obsidian Nova was able to defeat Dragon with power that you three will have to over come."
"Wait we?! My king, with respect, from what we are seeing he would have very well easily defeated Dragon if he did not back off and allowed the black king to sweep in for the kill. If this guy has just enough strength to defeat a level nine what makes you think that we can do such a feat!"
"I understand that Hoplite, but you three are also level eight burst linkers like him, it is due to the fact that sheer numbers will defeat him which will pave the way for you to conquer the final objective: the black king!"
Just then the blue king swiped his hand to the right and the video turned off and he began to walk out off the room as he directed the team towards the doorway.
"So blue king, what should happen if we encounter the other members of the black legion?"
"In the situation does rise try to avoid at all costs, stealth is important, just remember that you must defeat Obsidian Nova and capture the black king and bring her to me."
"Wait you want us to drag them to the unlimited field, battle them, then bring a weakened black king to our base before Nova has the chance to recover?"
"That is the plan in layman terms yes."
"Excuse me for stepping out off line my king but how exactly are we going to accomplish such a feat?"
"Oh don't worry i'll explain it soon...very soon."
Next Day; Unlimited Field
It was here that Carbon Dragon meet his fate in the unlimited field by the hands of the black legion, but at this moment the two burst linkers that did the finishing moves against Dragon are now in the middle of what appears to be a training session.
"CRASH!"
One of the large boulders in the wasteland stage was just cleanly cut in half by a very powerful sword. After the dust was blown away the one and only Black Lotus stood there. She then turned towards the other figure who was leaning against a nearby boulder.
"Why are you just leaning back Nova? I brought you here to amplify your sword precision strength."
"Yeah but what's the point in that Hime? You've seen my close quarters strength so why do i need to focus on that?"
"How many times do i have to tell you to not to refer to each other by real names here. And i want you do do this because future threats we are going to face are stronger than Dragon believe it or not."
Nova just unsheathed his wrist blade and propped himself off the giant rock and then he raised his arm up in the air and swiftly swiped it downwards.
"CRACK...CRASH!"
"Well tell that to the what's left of that boulder." Nova said as he turned around and pointed at it over his shoulder.
"But can you do it against a building...like that one!" She stated as she charged up her swords and then swung them forward at the large nearby building and after a few second delay the hit made contact.
"BOOM!" As the building collapsed.
"Just stop, why in the hell are we doing this anyways, what about the others in the legion? They need just as much training as i do!"
"I already have. Haruyuki, Takumu, Chiyuri, and even Cody."
"Hypocrite..."
"What was that?"
"Oh nothing! Well if that's the case then why are you training me i mean, i am clearly ready to take on any threat that comes our way!"
"What happen's if a legion declares war on us then?"
"Please like that's going to happen, i mean the treaty clearly states-"
"Then you have not been keeping up with the current events here."
"What are ya talkin' about."
"After the Dragon Incident two kings were slayed and another nearly slain. The yellow and purple legions are literally in a state of civil war and the other remaining legions are in debate on who to give the kingship to or even who gains such territory."
"So?"
"It means that the treaty is starting to fall apart at the seems."
"Isn't that what we want though?"
"It is, but say if a legion like Leonids or Great Wall declare a open conflict and we are dragged into it then we will be overwhelmed numerically."
"Then it's simple, take the head off the snake and done."
"It's not that simple we can't just-!" Lotus was saying before she was interrupted from a voice in the sky.
"Guys...guys!"
The two looked up at a figure in the sky and when it got closer it was beginning to look green.
"Cardinal?"
"Guys!" Emerald Cardinal said as he landed on his feet putting away his wings.
"Wow that's a first bro, using your wings outside of combat?"
"Right now is not the time man."
"Cardinal what's the problem, and how were you able to log in and find us in the right time frame?"
"When i was told that Pile was attacked i had to-"
"Wait Cyan Pile was attacked?!"
"He was probably challenged then big deal."
"Yeah if this was outside of the school."
"What do you mean bro?"
"Pile was attacked while still connected to the school net."
"Wait what?!"
"Yeah, and since i noticed the this is around the same time that Lotus trained the rest of us i logged in and to find you faster i had to pull out my wings."
"Wow man, look at you using your brain and junk."
"Shut up!"
"Quite you two now is not the time, look classes are almost over anyways we should head to the nearest leave point and meet up with Pile if we can."
"I think that it's possible, come on this way."
The three headed towards the nearest leave point quickly and on their way there, they had no idea that they were actually being watched by two figures from a far away ridge.
"Primary targets leaving the unlimited neutral field."
"Copy that Samurai was challenging Cyan Pile a wise and necessary idea?"
"Don't worry Iris, it is all going as planned."
"Really? Because the blue king gave us certain and specific instructions and a attack on one of the black legion members was not one there."
"I might of changed the original plan slightly, but have no fear, it was hitting two birds with one stone."
"What do you mean by that?"
"For one we taught a lesson to Cyan Pile for leaving our legion and it brings a little psychological warfare into the mix."
"What?! Samurai i'm pretty sure that is going to piss them off even further."
"Just trust me! This is one step closer to fulfilling my, i mean our, revenge."
"Humph...i think that a red cloud is blocking your mind."
"As a samurai i would never allow such a thing to happen."
"Really?"
"Yes i am positive."
"...Fine, but if this op blows up in our faces it's your fault." She said getting in his face pointing at him."
"Whatever you say."
Real World; Umesato Junior High; Last Period
The bell was about to ring and the lesson was already over and the students were silently talking to each other. Then two students in the back who were in what seemed like a trance for a few seconds broke out of it sitting up suddenly.
"You good Hime?"
"Yeah."
"Good now we just have to wait for the bell to rin-" Bryce was suddenly interrupted by the final bell. "Speak of the devil, come on let's go."
"Right."
The two grabbed their things and exited the classroom and headed towards the courtyard where they would meet Cody and Taku. On the way there they saw Haru and Hime grabbed him by the shoulder as they were passing by.
"Kuoryukihime-senpai what are you doing?"
"Takumu says he was attacked by a burst linker while he was still connected to the school net." Hime whispered into his ear.
"No way." He whispered back.
"Yeah were on our way to meet him."
It took them a good minute or two to get too the school courtyard and when they turned towards the direction where they would always meet up sure enough there was Cody and Taku standing there talking until they noticed them and waved at them.
"Hey Taku is it true that you were attacked by a random burst linker in school."
"Yeah it's true."
"Did you catch a glimpse at the attackers name Takumu?"
"Yeah and it shocked me a lot when i saw the name."
"Well who was it?"
"Zaffre Samurai."
"What?! The first opponent that i faced in Japan."
"Yeah him."
"How did he attack you while you were still on school grounds?"
"Could he have used the same trick Taku used to come and get you senpai?"
"Impossible a server update should have nullified that. But i want to know the detail about the fight, what exactly happened?"
"Well..."
One Hour Earlier
"I was on my way to last period until i suddenly was challenged by some burst linker."
"What a challenge on school grounds? Could it be one of the guys?"
The world was assembling and it finally loaded the chaos stage. After the process a large figure appeared with a pike launcher on his right arm, Cyan Pile. Then across the open field surrounded by demonic looking building was a blue samurai slowly walking towards Pile.
"Zaffre Samurai...wait a second that's they guy Bryce faced when he first got here, how and why is challenging me here and now?"
When Samurai stopped he was only about fifteen meters away from Pile.
"Hehehehe..." Samurai began to laugh.
"What's so funny?"
"Oh nothing, except for the fact that i was able to find out where you go to school and that i was able to challenge you."
"Why challenge me? Isn't Obsidian Nova the one who utterly dominated you or even Bla-."
"Don't mention that vile battle, it tainted my reputation and honor as a burst linker."
"Well don't underestimate me just because i am four levels below you."
"Oh don't worry this fight will be over quick." Samurai then was about to unsheathe his katana.
"I don't think so!" Pile then aimed his weapon at Samurai and fired it and as the spike was about to reach Samurai he swiftly moved out of the way and quickly unsheathed his sword, even fast than when Nova unsheathes his built in wrist blades.
As the spike was going across the field Samurai was already on its right side. Then his sword began to glow blue and he slashed down on the spike, cleanly cutting through it, shocking Pile. As Pile reacted the spike, which no longer had a point, Samurai swiftly appeared to Pile's right and he slashed his sword as he stopped just behind Pile.
"Ahhh!" Pile's right arm that held the spike launcher came cleanly off.
Samurai quickly turned the sword around to where the blade was now on the outside of him and he grabbed the end of it and stabbed Pile through the middle of the chest without even looking. Pile's chest shot out with the sword still in him as he made a grunt sound with when the sword went threw him and when it was quickly retracted, dealing massive amounts of damage.
"Before you ask i have no interest in finding out your real identities...yet. But i want you to send a message to the black king and Nova, that were coming for them."
"What do you mean 'were'?" Pile asked painfully on with his knees on the ground.
"Find out yourself." Samurai said just before he cleanly cut off Pile's head.
"After that the battle ended and i quickly checked the matching list, i saw him on there but literally a second later it vanished. I check the window next to me which had the school courtyard outside, but saw nobody."
Present
"Wonderful now the blue legion knows where we go to school, verdammten blauen Schweine."
"What?"
"Sorry, sometimes when i get pissed a little i cuss in other languages."
"Well what did you say?"
"You don't want to know Hime."
"Actually i think only he knows."
"What proof do you have, he said their coming after us, and he's apart of the blue legion hmmm?"
"If that's the case and they did find us we all would have been simultaneously attacked, i think he did that to just send the message."
"If that's the case what do we do Hime?" Bryce said crossing his arms.
"If what we all heard was true, and i have no doubt that it is, this is a clear declaration of war by the blue legion. So first we deal with this 'were' if it's not the blue legion individually then we go from there."
"I got no objections, what about you bro?"
"Same here."
"I think it's a good enough plan, what about you Taku?"
"If we find out it really is the entire blue legion we should just avoid all combat with them, but if it is just an isolated group or team then we have the black king and Nova on our side. Not only that but we have a healer and two flying avatars, so i think we can handle that."
"Then it's settled, me and Bryce will deal with this tomorrow."
"Ah come on you two see the most action!"
"I know that Cody, but if they see all of in wait they won't strike, if it's just the two of us then the chances of an attack on us are even higher."
"I don't know master putting yourself in harms way? Doesn't that sound a little dangerous."
"It will be fine, i am a king after all, plus we got our own little mini-king slayer here." She said putting a hand on Bryce's back, with a lot of force.
"Ow...but thanks for the compliment i guess."
"See we both can handle ourselves."
"Fine, you two can easily handle yourselves in a fight so why should i be worried."
"Exactly, so what do we do now Hime?"
"We go home and wait." She said beginning to walk away. "Goodbye Haruyuki and everyone."
"I like how she addresses only him, must suck for you huh Bry-" Cody was mocking before he was punched very hard in the shoulder by Bryce. "Ow man that really hurt."
"Shouldn't go blabbing your mouth you plebe." Bryce said crossing his arms.
"Anyways we should start going home too."
"Yeah, come on bro."
"Right behind ya, see ya later guys!"
"See ya! I guess i should also start walking home to Taku, want me to walk home with you?"
"Nah i'll wait for Chiyu and tell her everything, plus i'll just disconnect from the global net."
"Okay then see you later."
"See you later Haru." Taku said as they waved goodbye. "One thought in my mind is how on earth did he get the knowledge of where our school is located?"
