Chapter 9: The Clash of Lightning before the Storm
Jon's POV
I couldn't believe my eyes, Tobias was standing right in front of all of us more importantly in front of Kyle.
"This is bad Jonathan, Tobias is a lot stronger than Kyle right now. He won't stand a chance." Doc whispered to me.
"Then lets attack him. We have him out numbered." Naruto suggested.
"While that is an excellent plan, though it would be wise just to stay back for the moment." I said.
"Why we could all take him easily." Ichigo stated.
"Trust me we will attack when the time is right. Let's just listen to their conversation." I stated.
No one liked the idea but they agreed and we focused back onto Tobias and Kyle. Kyle was now standing back up with his sword in his hand.
"What is it that you want Tobias?" He asked in a cold tone.
"What? I can't have a chat with a fellow werewolf?" Tobias said shrugging his shoulders.
"You mean the powers that were given to you by my grandfather?" Kyle answered.
Tobias looked a little surprised so was I.
"How did he figure it out?" I thought.
" So you know. How much do you truly know, though?" He said crossing his arms.
" I know plenty and I also know that you killed him and stole his Dexidon!" Kyle shouted shifting into full lycan form.
" He was an old man and a fool!" Tobias shouted shifting as well.
"He was your friend!" Kyle shouted as he used the Beast Cannon to charge Tobias.
He quickly removed his sword and blocked Kyle's.
"He refused to help me!" He shouted back. Kyle jumped back a few feet and prepared for a second attack.
" What is the point in having friends when they aren't willing to help you. They will just end up betraying you like they did me. So you must take their own strengths from them without hesitation." Tobias said holding up his blade.
"I don't see how that blade will help you. You may have my grandpa's Dexidon but you can't wield his Dexido. Because truthfully the Dexido is a reflection of one's own soul. In other words my Cheindoharikēn is me." Kyle explained.
"He knows soo much. What has he not told me?" I thought.
" Well your right I can't use your grandfather's Dexido. But this isn't his Dexido, it's mine." He answered.
The sword turned black and had black flames surrounding it.
"But back to our previous topic. What makes you think your friends truly care for you?" Tobias asked.
"I trust them with my very soul and I know they respect me as their equal." Kyle answered.
"Really? Even when your so called friends would just use you for their own benefit? And you know why they would too. Then again can you blame them? Plus, you haven't been honest with them either." Tobias said sarcastically.
" I don't know what you're talking about." Kyle answered.
"Don't lie you know very well. You possess the legendary soul ablitiy! It would take both of your grandfathers to do just do one of you techniques. You, who can bring back the lives of the loved ones of your friends with a swipe of your sword, who can use any element that you please. Oh and by the way how well do trust your friend Jon Talbain? And do you even know who your other grandfather is?" Tobias said.
"No I don't know who he is because I never met him and as for Jon, I trust him with my life. Also you know that playing with life and death has its price." Kyle answered.
"Well I'll let you in on something about your so called friend. He knows more about you and your family ties than you know. He's been hiding a lot from you that would be very personal to you. In fact why don't you ask him and your other friends yourself? They're standing right over there in those bushes like the cowards they are." Tobias said pointing his sword in our direction.
"Crap! This is bad, Kyle is not ready for me to tell him yet." I thought.
Kyle just looked this way and what I saw surprised me. The look in his eyes was a calm, determined, and wise look that every great alpha has.
"You expect me to be shocked and surprised by them being here? I instantly knew they were there when I felt their souls get near. I also do not question their trust. I know Jon is holding something back from me but I know he will tell me when I am ready. You will not break the chains that bind my trust to them." Kyle said turning his sword into its four bladed state and started spinning the blades.
" Fine then I guess I'll just have to remove them from the equation." Tobias said.
He then turned to us and swung his sword at us and shouted "Chaos Wave!"
A black wave of Dark Energy headed straight towards us.
"Move!" I shouted but it was already to late the attack was about to hit when a bright light blocked the attack.
I looked back and saw Cheindoharikēn spinning in mid air in front of us forming a white shield around it and us. I noticed Kyle had his paw stretched out towards us and then he said " Dexido: Soul Shield."
"Amazing, he threw Cheindoharikēn and formed a shield in front of us and blocked the attack!" Doc said amazed.
"Awesome!" Naruto shouted.
"I didn't know a sword could be used as a shield as well." Ichigo said.
"Way to go Kyle!" Martha shouted.
Though when I looked at Tobias he looked a little worn out.
" You think that sword of yours can protect you and them at the same time?" Tobias said raising his sword above his head gathering more Dark Energy.
"I'm not completely defenseless without Cheindoharikēn." Kyle answered.
I saw him gather light and dark energy and then a bright flash consumed him when the light faded in his place stood a full wolf about twice the size of a normal wolf with white and brown fur and i noticed that he also had some fox features in this form. His muzzle was somewhat triangular and had longer fangs and his tail was somewhat longer and was more thick with fur. I also noticed that he had several armor plates covering his body, one plate had a crescent moon on his chest. He also had that same white cloak of energy surrounding him again.
" That's the full wolf form. I didn't even know he knew how to turn into it." Doc said.
" This is bad, he doesn't know that the full wolf form is ten times harder to control. We have to help him now." I said stretching out towards the shield.
I then felt a jolt of electricity run through my paw as I touched the shield.
"Did it just reject me?" I thought.
"Stay right there Jon. This is my fight." Kyle said glancing this way.
"You think that brute strength will help you against me?" Tobias said holding his blade back up for a second attack.
I then looked up at the sky and saw storm clouds started to form and the wind started to pick up and thunder could be heard nearby.
"Trying to make it rain on me? I don't mind a little wet fur." Tobias said laughing.
"It not the rain you should be worried about." Kyle said.
I looked closer and saw electricity running across his body.
Then in an instant he broke into a dead run and jumped in the air above Tobias and shouted "Lightning Barrage!"
The electricity on his body shot at Tobias and struck him hard. He staggered back and just shook it off, though his fur was standing up though. Naruto and Ichigo both bursted out laughing.
"Oh man that is hilarious!" Naruto shouted.
Tobias tried patting down his fur but with no success.
" You think that war is a joke, you little brat?" Tobias said pointing his blade at Kyle.
Kyle just merely looked up at the sky. But before Tobias could look, a barrage of lightning bolts struck him down. Though none of us saw what happened I noticed that he was still standing, barely though. I saw that Kyle was also panting heavily and was barely standing.
" I'm glad I could test your strength. Now prepare yourself. " Tobias said raising his sword above his head.
But before he could attack a sword with several jagged edges on it went straight through his chest.
"What the hell?" He said.
"Finally found you." said a sinister voice from behind
. "Kenpachi!" Ichigo shouted.
"I've been looking everywhere for you, now I hope you can give me a real fight!" Kenpachi shouted to Tobias.
"You think that you won this fight? Well guess what, this is only the beginning." Tobias said.
"What the hell are you yapping about?" Kenpachi said.
Then Tobias's entire body turned to mist and we could all hear him laughing.
"This was entertaining, I'm looking forwarded to the real battle back home." He said.
"Damn him, what is the point in jumping from one world to two worlds then to jump back? It doesn't make sense." I thought.
"So you're a Darkstalker, now maybe you can give me a thrill!" Kenpachi said towards Kyle.
Kyle didn't answer but growled and ran at Kenpachi without hesitation. Kenpachi swung his sword at Kyle's head but it stopped when it hit the fur.
"What the hell?" Kenpachi said.
Kyle then instantly swiped at Kenpachi and sent him flying into the trees.
"Kyle, snap out of it!" I shouted.
But I saw that his eyes were completely white and there was no reasoning with him. I then reached out but the shield still rejected me.
"Damn, it won't let me out!" I shouted.
"You know why you can't get out." Doc said calmly.
I then mentally slapped myself across the head.
"Naruto, Ichigo both of you help me grab the hilt." I said.
The both looked at each and then nodded their heads. They both reach for the hilt along with me and I saw a small amount of energy left our hands and was then able to reach through the barrier and grabbed the hilt. Cheindoharikēn stopped spinning and the shield dispersed.
"Throw me." I heard him say inside my head as he turned into his double edge sword form.
I then gathered all my strength and threw him as hard as I could. He then flew in a wide arc and headed straight for Kyle. Kyle just growled and ran towards him but then made a quick turn straight towards us.
"Crap he's gonna charge us!" Naruto shouted.
But as he got close and jumped into the air revealing his fangs, Cheindoharikēn instantly struck him from behind. Then his form shrunk back down to normal size as he hit the ground face first.
"Ow." He said not moving as Cheindoharikēn fell right next to him.
"Is he back to normal?" Naruto said poking Kyle's head with a stick.
"Do you want that stick to be shoved somewhere you don't want it to be?" Kyle said looking up.
He then got up to his feet and shook himself off and looked at me and I saw that he knew who I really was and who he really was.
"You know we're going to have to talk about it Jon." He said.
"I know, and I'm sorry for not telling you sooner." I answered.
"Don't worry, we'll have plenty of time to catch up once this is over. After all it makes sense why dad never really liked me or my brother very much. But I'll wait to hear the full story from you." He said with a smile.
"He's grown so much. If only you can see how much, Elizabeth." I thought.
"Looks like Tobias and his army have already made their way back to the real world. We should head back as well." Kyle stated.
" The portal that brought us here will take a while to open and it may take a day to open considering how big the group we're transporting." Doc answered.
"Well it looks like I made it in time then." Someone said from behind.
I turned around and saw that it was the Hokage.
"Granny Tsunade! What are you doing here?" Naruto shouted excited.
"Well considering, the situation I'm actually here to see Kyle." She answered walking past everyone and stopped in front of him.
They then walked further away and talked were we couldn't hear.
"I wonder what they're talking about?" Naruto said.
"Something important if they have to talk privately." Kakashi stated.
They then walked back and Tsunade was the first to speak.
"Kakashi, you and the rest of team Kakashi will head to the real world to assist in any way you can." She stated.
"Understood, Lady Hokage." He answered.
"We will also be coming as well." Byakuya stated.
"Alright then lets head back to the real world" Kyle said holding Cheindoharikēn.
"But the portal…." Doc started to say but Kyle just held up his hand.
"No longer needed." He said turning away from us turning Cheindoharikēn into its four bladed state.
We all looked puzzled for a second and then I noticed that the wind started to pick up and I saw the blades on Cheindoharikēn started to glow slightly and started spinning.
Kyle the got into a stance and then threw Cheindoharikēn and shouted "Open the portal, Cheindoharikēn!"
Cheindoharikēn flew several feet and opened a wide, white portal leading back to the real world. Kyle turned around with a smile on his face.
"Wow! That's amazing!" Naruto shouted.
"I should have known that you were capable of doing this as well." Doc said.
I just smiled knowing full well that Kyle was able to so much more than anyone.
Kyle then stretched out his hand towards us and said "Let's return to the real world."
