Obsidian & Emerald

Infiltrators Arc: Confrontation

The first powder keg of the accelerated world post-Dragon Incident seems to be on the verge of being ignited. The blue legion has done the closest thing of declaring war without the spark being ignited against the black legion. However the black legion is very calm and collective when it comes to these things, despite a unprovoked attack on one of their members, and their top two members as well as the targets are about to deal with this crisis.

Next Day; Afternoon

It was only yesterday that Taku was attacked by a member of the blue legion, Zaffre Samurai, with a sword of war as a message. Now Bryce and Hime have decided to deal with this crisis by themselves since they are the ones seemingly targeted. It was later in the afternoon outside of school where Bryce was waiting outside leaning against a wall with his arms crossed waiting for Hime to arrive with the battle plan.

"Wow i guess it really does take this long for a girl to get her hair ready." Bryce openly mocked before getting of the wall.

"Don't you stereotype me?"

"Ho- crap! You honestly scared the living hell out of me Hime."

"Sorry about that."

"Right. Where were you anyways?"

"I am the Student Council Vice-President after all so unlike you i have to stay after school."

"Oh yeah i forgot about that."

"Anyways i was able to have Takumu contact-, actually we should talk about this privately to avoid eavesdroppers." She said pulling out a long cable.

"Yeah that probably be best." Bryce said grabbing the cable and plugging it in into his neuro-linker.

"Okay so like i was saying i was able to have Takumu contact someone he knows within the blue legion."

"For what exactly?"

"To have his contact tell Samurai and 'them' to meet here." She the grabbed his arm to stop him from walking any further to a open mall courtyard.

"Wait were meeting them in IRL!"

"Of course not you idiot, this mall is very big, so the likelihood of them finding us are pretty slim. Did you remember to stay disconnected from the global net?"

"Yes i remembered to stay disconnected..."

"Good, now we can finally uncable-link and start heading inside the mall, there we will reconnect to the global net and go inside the unlimited field."

"Got it."

They unplugged the cables they had and Bryce gave his end back to Hime and they walked inside. After stepping inside they both went towards one of the food centers and after about a minute or two of talking they sat down.

"Thanks Hime but i want to take the wheel from here."

"What do you mean?"

"There is a chance of you actually losing, and neither do i nor does the rest of the legion want."

"But Bryce if they only see you-"

"Trust me i got this."

"If you die though-"

"I said i got this Hime so allow me, your subordinate, to guard you."

"I think it would be a better idea for us to go in at the same-"

"Unlimited Burst!"

Bryce went in before Hime could finish her sentence and allow her to have the time to react to call her command, he wanted to brave this alone to show this group what it means to mess with the black legion.

Accelerated World; Unlimited Field; Purgatory Stage

When Nova entered the unlimited field he looked down at his hands and clenched them in fists. He looked up and suddenly ran at very fast speeds towards the courtyard and arrived in only about thirty seconds. He was already in the open courtyard as he began to look around to find the Leonids team. Suddenly he heard a blade being sharpened and swiftly turned around to find who it was. It was Zaffre Samurai sharpening his blade while looking down at Nova. Samurai then began to motion to his right and left, just then Iris Revolution and Sapphire Hoplite stepped out from the shadows weapons already drawn.

"Wow ain't this a nice welcoming party."

"Where is the black king?"

"Hey your that samurai dude i beat up when i first arrived, hows it been?"

"Silence, i asked you a question!"

"Huh? Oh yeah that. Sorry but she won't be joining us this evening." Nova said acting like he was picking something out of his nonexistent ear.

"She's on the matching list so why won't she come?"

"Sorry musketeer but like i said she won't be joining us today. Plus i kinda came here without her permission."

"You disobeyed you legion master?!"

"Calm down Leonidas i didn't disobey her, i just came here in my own free will without her designated approval."

"Quiet the both of you, he is obviously stalling us!"

"Good eye there jack, but it is a little too late...I've already pinpointed your openings."

Just then Nova teleported behind Revolution and sliced off her left arm. He quickly went towards Hoplite and cut his spear in half with precision. Next he went above Samurai and was about to put his blade through the top of his head, but Samurai reacted in time and blocked the attack, which made Nova teleport back to his original position.

"Damn it, he caught us off guard!"

"That's why a great samurai never lets down his guard. I've made that mistake once and i shan't do it again!"

"What's up with you obsession with samurais? And really dude 'shan't'?"

"Don't judge how i use my word play!"

Samurai leaped from his position struck Nova faster than he predicted. Nova was able to block the attack but suddenly Revolution came from behind him with her sword and he focused one his blades on her now having to stop two pressures. Then Hoplite came at him with a short sword and without any blades to block it he jumped in the air making the three forces hit each other.

"I am not gonna lie, i thought this would be easier, but i was dead wrong on that. I should have known that facing three fellow level eights would be a challenge."

"Hear that boss he actually thought we were weak!"

"Oh i wasn't saying you were weak, all i said was that i really did underestimate my situation. But all said and done, this is where the real fight begins!" Nova said as he unsheathed both of his wrist blades.

Leonids Team vs. Obsidian Nova

The four fighters just stared each other down for a good few seconds before Hoplite took action. He leaped at Nova and they clashed blades igniting sparks on impact, then Revolution suddenly appeared to Nova's left he he disengaged on of his blades and turned it into its scythe form and blocked her sword just as it was coming down.

"Now look who has an opening!" Samurai said as he leaped in the air above Nova.

"Ha, still you guys!"

Nova then swiftly shifted his body to the right and quickly changed hi left handed scythe to his normal blade. In that process he slashed the abdomen of Hoplite dealing large amounts of damage making him fall to the ground as Revolution fell forwards, then Samurai fell on her. Nova in the mean just took a few steps backwards.

"Wow, despite your ability to outnumber me, you people just can't touch me now can you?"

"Just watch me!"

Samurai at seemingly the speed of sound appeared in front of Nova and quickly pierced his lower abdomen.

"Samurai what are you doing!"

"Yeah man, Blue Knight told us not to use our incarnate moves unless they use theirs!"

"So he did use an incarnate move, how pity..."

"Our master's orders will be completed one way or another and my revenge will be mine!"

"Sorry there pal but... I've got a wish too, and that's fighting alongside my master till the very end."

"Why won't you just die?!"

Samurai punched Nova in his red orb cracking it up and sending him flying off his sword.

"Come on men this is our chance!"

Hoplite and Iris looked at each other then looked back and got up and stood next to Samurai with their blades out.

"So what do we do now boss?"

"Your special move gauges all charged up?"

"You got it."

"Same here."

"Great. Now let's combine all of our attacks into one to ensure our victory!"

"Before you do so i have one request..."

"Fine as a samurai i will allow one such."

"If i am able to win, you must stop attacking us and leave the black legion alone."

"Okay fine and if we win?"

"As many times it takes you, every time i revive you may slay me until my points run dry, and i won't fight back."

"Samurai he is obviously-"

"Deal!"

"But sir!"

"Come on let's finish this imbecile once and for all! Now call out you special moves!"

"R-right!" They both said.

"Shoguns Wrath!"

"Thermopylae's Javelin!'

"Revolutionary Guillotine!"

All three swords glowed in a brilliant blue and all of them rushed at Nova. As they were about to make contact Nova's orb, what remains of it, gleamed.

"Hehe...Void Switch!"

A sudden gravitational bubble appeared around Nova stopping the three powerful attacks just in the nick of time.

"He had his special move gauge full the whole time!

"This is why we shouldn't rush into things Samurai!"

"She's totally right boss!"

"You three done bickering yet? Cause I've got a special present from the black legion signed by yours truly."

The bubble pulsated sending the three would-be attackers back far enough where they were out of range. Then Nova stood up inside the bubble much to Samurai's dismay. Suddenly the bubble collapsed in on itself, then he stuck out both of his hands and they began to glow.

"And it says next time you mess with our legion prepare to face the consequences!"

Then a large beam of brilliant black-white light shot from his hands directly hitting the Leonids team.

"Holy crap!"

"Ahhhhh!"

After the beams blast a very large dust cloud appeared to where everyone in the surrounding area could see it. From inside the dust cloud two bright beams of blue shot up to the sky. Seemingly that gathered a very large amount of spectators over to where the fight was going on and the roofs were lined up with burst linkers.

"Wow must of drawn a crowd, oh well they really didn't miss much." Just as Nova was about to make his way to the nearest leave point he remembered a startling fact. "Wait there were three of them weren't there, so how come only two beams shot up?!"

Just as he turned around the dust cloud was settling and from within he noticed a large shining blue light coming from the area that was between where the two blue beams shot up from. When the dust was fully cleared the blue light was from the sword of Zaffre Samurai, who still took quite some damage from the attack, was breathing heavily.

"How were you able to block it-" He suddenly realized what thy said earlier. "No way you used..."

"That's right! It will be worth it too, once i sever your head off!"

"Alright if you want to play like that then i would be more than happy to oblige."

"Good i expect you to do so."

"You know look at the crown we've drawn up, hey you want to consider this a rematch?"

"Samurai's don't normally call for a rematch after a duel since most are sudden death, but why not?"

"If they don't call for a rematch then why were you hunting me down?"

"You were my target and it's completely irrelevant to our first bout!"

"Nah i beg to differ."

"I accepted your rematch offer so stop complaining!"

"Yeah i know but i like to mess with my enemy before i come out on top over them."

"Oh a little cocky eh? Well let's see how you like this!"

Samurai's sword quickly began to shake and glowed even brighter than before. Then he quickly swung it to his right where the blade became thick and elongated.

"Edo's Legacy!"

He then swung his sword forward, which now looked futuristic with some edo elements infused with it.

"This sword is based on the legendary Honjo Masamune, they very sword passed down from shogun to shogun, and i now wield its strength!"

"Vex Spear!"

Nova summoned a large blade that was mostly black with a small grey outlining.

"We'll end this right here, right now."

"Agreed! Let's see how that pitiful blade will compare to mine."

"Allow me to show you!"

The two warriors then quickly rushed at each other and they slammed their blades into each other causing a loud bang surprising the audience. Then just like they never made contact the two blades began to clash at each other so swiftly that most of the audience barely kept up. They both did powerful swings at each other, with each being blocked, with each making a louder bang than the last.

Nova then teleported behind Samurai and attempted to slash down the middle of his back. Samurai however was able to swiftly turn around and block the attack, when he did so the two swords made a very large bang and the air was pushed back violently back towards the spectators who at least half of which were blown away.

"Yes...Yes! This is how i envisioned a rematch between us would be like!"

"I thought Samurai's don't really do rematches?"

"Let's be honest, i am mainly doing this to reclaim my honor, as well as taking down your legion."

"See there ya go, you just hurdled the first step!"

"Don't you dare mock me?!"

Samurai leaped towards Nova and they began to quickly clash blades once again.

"Sorry, it's what i do."

"Well allow me to smother that cocky attitude of yours!"

"Oh but i simply won't allow that!" Nova said as he swung very hard on Samurai's sword which created a very loud bang.

They two were still going at it with none of them coming on top, they were both using the incarnate system and both moves were equally matched. Then the two reeled back their blades and struck again this time destroying much of the environment around them, sending a large shock wave to the spectators, and creating the largest blast made in their clash.

"Who the hell are these guys?"

"No idea!"

"Wait a second that's Zaffre Samurai of the blue legion!"

"Yeah your right and look! That has to be Obsidian Nova from the black legion."

"Holy shit your right! They're going at it like the six kings of pure color would!"

The audience began to roar at the fighters despite neither coming out on top. The fighters were still clashing blades oblivious to the crowd, this fight evolved from a simple engagement to an all-out brawl, with the fate of either on the line.

"This brawl is getting pretty intense huh Nova?" Samurai said as they clashed blades

"Hell yeah man! This fight is honestly one of the best i've had since coming here!"

"Agreed, but now it must end!" Samurai jumped back from the clashing of swords and raised his sword in the air. "Shoguns wrath!" The air swirled around the sword and it glowed very bright. Then Samurai charged at Nova.

"Combining your special move with you incarnate move huh? Very clever, but your not the only one with a few tricks still up his sleeve!"

Just as Nova finished his sentence Samurai's sword made contact with Nova's blade and a very large rupture in the ground below them created a crater. Nova then jumped to the edge of the crater leaving Samurai in the center of it.

"Vex Slicer!"

Nova's blade dissipated as they were replaced by two, similarly colored, scythes on both hands. Nova then quickly rushed towards Samurai and when they made contact again the crater became larger sending shock waves to the audience. They once again were going at it with full force with the will to please their legion masters.

"Haha splendid! This fight is much better and more honorable than the last!"

"Same here jack!"

The fight was getting more intense by the second, with every large hit making the crater larger, this is a bout that would not be forgotten by the eyes of the spectators. Nova suddenly changed his tactic faster than the wind that was circulating around them. He went from slashing back at his opponent to doing a rapid spin movement that was still being blocked by Samurai's constantly moving sword.

Nova's new movement was generating many more large impacts than the previous method. After a few seconds of intense clashing Nova appeared to spinning at a much faster rate.

"Wait hold up Nova looks like he is going faster."

"How can you tell?"

"Look he is gathering more wind around him than he was when he started."

"Hey yeah your right Nova is going much faster!"

The audience began to roar up again in the total excitement that was unfolding for them.

"Ha! Spin as fast as much as you like! You still won't be able to get past Edo's Legacy!"

"We'll see about that pal!"

It was just like the audience thought, Nova was generating more air around him by the second with no signs of slowing down.

"Whoa whoa whoa your actually are going faster, wait for-"

"Sorry but like i said jack i was going to send you message and i'm going to deliver it!"

"I'm still able to hold you at bay so even of you are going faster it's going to be a while before my defenses break!"

"We'll see about that...Vex Stream!"

Nova began to go much faster and faster and faster. And after only a few seconds of activating Vex Stream he was able to break Samurai's sword up.

"No way but how!"

"Like i said my will to please is much stronger than yours!"

After he said that he then tore up Samurai's chest and sent him flying back to the furthest crater wall which made the audience roar.

"But...how..."

"I was able to stack two of my incarnate moves together to form one powerful one." Nova said walking towards him.

"No way..."

"It's possible just...not...recommended..." Nova then dropped down onto his knees which dissipated his incarnate scythes.

"Because it draws a lot of energy out of you doesn't it."

"Yeah a lot, i barely have the energy to get over to you." Nova said getting back up and began walking towards Samurai slowly.

"Hehe...guess i failed in my mission then..."

"Guess you did." Nova was now in front of Samurai.

"Don't worry I'll live up my end of the bargain, as the honor of a Samurai."

"I wasn't lying you know, that fight was possibly the best I've had here. You gave me one hell of a battle for a while."

"Hehe...good..."

Nova unsheathed his normal blade and with the remaining strength he had he swiftly swung his arm across his head, then it slowly fell off and Samurai's body slummed forward and fell on its stomach. Then, just like his comrades, a bright blue beam shot up into the sky. With that the audience roared in excitement, the great bout had finished.

Nova then slowly made his way to the nearest leave point, which was only a few blocks away, and half way there he fell on his knees and could not get up so he had to crawl to the leave point. When he finally got there, what should have been about a few minutes took about 15 minutes, the whole fight lasted about 20 minutes.

Real World

"Bryce! Unlimi-" Hime was about to call out her command until Bryce sprang up and covered her mouth before she slapped it away. "You idiot what were you thinking?!"

"I was thinking about the possibility of us losing to them along with the fact that we could have been ambushed."

"Was it one?"

"Nope."

"Then why didn't you come back?"

"Because they were blocking the entrance and i was already fighting them."

"You were already-"

"Shush keep it down, man sometimes you can be so loud at times like these."

"Well i wouldn't be if i was teamed up with someone so rude and immature."

"But aren't you they one who volunteered me and you?"

"Yes that is true..."

"They why you complaining? Oh and don't worry about the infiltrators."

"What do you mean?"

"I took care of it, it took my all, but i won in the end."

"And will they return?"

"Nah, i was able to get them to promise, plus if they do come back we'll go in together."

"Good. You know i was actually worried about you."

"Really because i thought you were in some kind of 'thing' with Haru?"

"Don't get me wrong i am in love with Haruyuki-kun but i worry about everyone in the legion and that includes you."

"Thanks that really makes me feel special."

"Oh come on don't be sarcastic with me, because besides Megumi your actually my closest friend."

"Really?"

"Of course when would i lie?"

"Oh i can think of a few good reasons."

"Whatever. Come on since you stole all of the spot light our mission is complete, let's go home."

"Right behind ya."

The two got up from their booth and began to walk outside towards the courtyard. After another one to two minutes they were already outside and before they knew it they left the courtyard and they were about to take their separate ways.

"Hey where you going Hime?"

"My house is this way so we'll be splitting off from here, see you at school tomorrow!" She said as she waved her hand goodbye.

"Yeah see you tomorrow!"

Bryce then smiled and turned around putting his hands inside his pockets and then drifted into his thoughts on his way home.

Kings Chamber; Blue Legion; Accelerated World

"You what?!"

"We failed in our mission my king, the enemy found out our position and attacked us."

"Oh really?"

"Yes my king."

"Then explain why i am seeing this all over the Brain Burst Alert System!"

Blue Knight then flashed up a screen with Samurai and Nova in the middle of their fight."

"Obsidian Nova vs. Zaffre Samurai: Two Legions Bout in Legendary Fight. Are you kidding me?!"

"I am sorry my king but Iris Revolution was right...I indeed had a red cloud of revenge clogging my brain."

"Well thanks to that red cloud the black legion is on alert."

"My king if i may i believe that they are not going to attempt to take advantage of this."

"O-oh and what's your proof."

"If they wanted to they would have done so by now and i think that for them it would be less fun."

"This game is more than just 'fun', this game can envelop a person to their core, and she is no exception!"

"I know that sir, i will take any punishment you give me."

"Good because i hereby exile you from the legion!"

"But my king don't you think that is a little-"

"Quite Revolution! I am showing him the mercy of not using the judgement blow, for it not of the adviser i would have used it."

"But my king i-"

"It's okay Iris...this punishment is second only to execution and he is showing me great mercy for what i have done."

Revolution continued to look down at the floor, in shock that her comrade will be exiled from not only this legion but any other.

"Now begone before i really do use the judgement blow on you."

"Yes sir."

The doors opened and Samurai got up and left the room with the doors slamming shut behind him. It was his actions that cause the failure of this infiltration mission and the simple fact that it shows how panicked the world really is after the Dragon Incident. However the story of the black legion is far from over, as a new and much eviler enemy will rise once more to exterminate them.

Next Time: Side Story 1

Followed By: White Nemesis Arc

Hey guys, once again for the later post school has been hectic lately, so i decided to wait till the most possible time it was best to do and that was today (and at the time of writing this it is 10/7/15). A little info on the side story, i have decided that every three arcs i will do a little side story, the first one will mainly focus on Haru, Hime, Bryce, and Cody. The next arc however will be one of the climatic parts of the story, as it involves one of the darker sides of the accelerated world. I will also be starting to accept OC submissions during the entirety from now till then end of the White Nemesis Arc so get those gears turning as only one will win and appear in the fifth arc. Anyways like always Loyal Guardian signing off!
