Chapter 9 wake the white wolf
Luna Pov
"kyaa" Senna shouted as she launched a punch at Drake
"Your still telegraphing I can see your move a mile away" he responded as he blocked her punch with his wrist and responded with a straight palm to her core knocking her down… again.
She stood back up panting "How is this training me" she asked
"My style of teaching is to learn by doing" he said as they resumed their fighting stances
"Your light and small" he said lunging forward with a straight though Senna placed he hands on his shoulders and vaulted over him which he responded to by shooting his elbow back and knocking her down once more "using your speed to overwhelm and confuse your opponents won't work against someone stronger and faster".
I continued watching my uncle and aunt train remembering how he trained me in the future when a voice from next to me surprised me
"so full of energy just like their father was" they said in a calm voice I turned to see who it was and saw an older woman with longish brown hair tied back with traces of grey
"Who are you" I asked out of curiosity she turned to look at me with a smile still on her face
"My name is Orielle I'm their mother" she said "and you are"
"Luna" I replied simply holding out my sword hand for her to shake realizing my mistake as she noticed the mark on my hand eyes widening
"How do you have the triforce of courage" she said shocked getting Drake's attention
"she has the what" he said which was followed by a Hyaa as Senna delivered a dropkick to his core flooring him and knocking him out as she planted her foot on his chest and held her hand out in a victory pose I couldn't help but be reminded of Cynthia and smirked as a flash appeared in the room and looked over to see Lily with an odd book
"What's that" I asked
"The red headed merchant I bought it from called it a snapshot tome" she said
Drake PoV inner world
I awoke in the middle of skyloft noticing the lack of people and a dark storm far on the horizon
"Oni what do you want" I said
"Oni is not here right now" I heard to my surprise a strange female voice I whirled around to see an odd looking girl she had blue metallic looking skin a blue and purple tunic and cloak like thing and she seemed to be floating
"Who are you and how are you here" I asked warily a steel blade manifesting in my hand
"I calculated an 85% chance this would be your response" she said
"Ok no stop that talk normal" I said still wary
"Apologies allow me to start again my name is Fi the spirit that resides in the master sword as to how I'm here, when you drew the blade I was drawn into your inner world as well as the evil one sealed in the blade" Fi said motioning towards the dark storm
"but if I have this evil inside me" I started
"How can you hold the master sword? Simple it is thanks to my presence here as well"
Then a thought occurred to me "I remember my father mentioning your name before I thought when the master sword was placed in that pedestal you were put into an eternal slumber" I said
"This is true but…" she started when Oni appeared
"Fi he's loose" he said ignoring the fact that I was here
"Who's loose" I asked both of them looking at me
"Haven't you wondered why you haven't transformed since the boat" Oni asked
Then I felt a sharp pain pierce my skull as I was forced from my inner world.
Senna Pov
We all backed away as my brother started convulsing on the floor screaming in pain his eyes becoming slit, wings vanishing and he was covered in white fur he slowly stood up and eyed us with a feral gleam
"Luna Lily get mom out of here find Soren" I shouted reaching for the gloves my brother gave me
"Be careful" Luna said as she and lily rushed mother out of the training hall Drake started towards them but was met with a straight punch to his cheek.
'well I got his attention' I thought as he lunged at me claws first dodging out of the way countering with a jab to his side he immediately got back up unphased by the attack and lunged at me again claws grazing my side this time.
I clutched my side as it was bleeding and cast a small fire spell stopping it for now 'looks like I can't hold back' I thought as Soren came running in catching drake's attention as he rushed through the open door
"What's happening" he said as he saw Drakes transformed state lunge at him quickly raising his sword to block the attack sparks flying as claws scraped against the sword they then jumped back from each other and drakes posture became more human and his claws shrunk down and a white blade appeared in his hand
Drake Pov
'Yes this is what I've been waiting for' as I tried to retake control of my body
"not so fast" a voice growled from behind me as the wolf spirit approached with a white blade and pointed it at me "if you want your body back you're going to have to beat me first"
I sighed as the triforce began glowing "very well but I will not hold back" I declared as the light cleared I was wearing a black lair of light armor Muramasa in one hand and the master sword in the other
"Have at you" I shouted as I rushed forward
Soren PoV
"Senna are you OK" I asked crouching next to her pressing against the white blade with my own trying to keep Drake at bay she didn't respond 'Unconsious Damn' I thought when I noticed a glint in his eye and a seal formed on the ground under me paralyzing me
"Oh brilliant blade as cold as steel" my blood chilled as he started speaking the incantation and he rushed at me and began cutting at me with the blade "rend the infinite darkness, and crush my enemies to nothing, savage wolf fury" he finished with one last strike and everything started going black as consciousness left me I thought I saw Lily enter the training hall
Lily PoV
As I entered the training hall I saw Soren fall unconscious next to Senna and Drake getting ready to finish them off and I knew I had to do something so I held out my hand and Grimoire "carriage of thunder, bridge of a spinning wheel with light divide this into six, Rikujokoro" as soon as I finished the spell Six rods of light slammed into his center Immobilizing him
Drake PoV
My inner world was being trashed in the fight
'I can't lose' I thought as we clashed again him blocking my two blades with his one
"you can't win you'll never win" he taunted he was barely scratched where as I was bleeding from several wounds but for some reason I wasn't feeling anymore tired that's when it clicked
This is my inner world so that means 'I have no limits in here' I sheathed my two blades and as the disappeared I held up my pointer finger and a orb of black energy started to form at the tip making the wolf spirit's eyes widen
"You wouldn't dare the backlash will kill you" he said
"That's where you're wrong this is my inner world in here I have no limits on my power now take this if you can Cero Oscuros" I said as a massive blast of black energy was fired decimating the wolf spirit when the blast cleared I saw him barely standing
"you win" he said as he collapsed and a white blade appeared where he once was
"so your still alive huh" a familiar voice said I whirled around and saw the demon from the other day
"YOU" I said redrawing muramasa slashing at him to which he simply held up his hand and blocked the sword
"Tsk tsk you can't beat me like that fortunately for you I'm not actually here or else you'd be dead. No I'm far away at a place you may be familiar with" he said before a wicked grin crossed his face "better hurry back if you want to save your loved ones" he taunted as he disappeared and my heart sunk
"No" I shouted as I was ejected from my inner world
Luna PoV
We all gathered after Lily had immobilized Drake and tended to Senna and Soren's wound's shortly after a blinding light surrounded Drake as he reverted to his normal form and came to shouting no
"We need to go back NOW!" he said with a tone of urgency "it's Tsukuyomi he's going to kill them"
"Them who?" Senna asked
"Poet, Nah and Vahl" he responded the name Nah immediately sending up a flag in my mind 'but how did they find her' I thought
"Stand back I'm opening a gate now" Drake announced as a Huge portal opened
"This one is more powerful so if anyone else wants to follow do so" he said as he ran through followed by Ren, Soren, Lily and Senna "oh what the hell why not" I said as I followed them in drawing Aether.
What greeted us on the other side was horrible
Drake PoV
Music soundscape to ardor
We arrived too late as I exited the portal I watched as Tsukuyomi knocked Vahl through a wall and slashed Poet across the chest before noticing my arrival "your too late the orange haired ones fate is sealed" he said as a mark appeared on her chest in the shape of the full moon once that mark vanishes she's dead" he said as he vanished into thin air.
I ran over to poet watching in horror as the mark was waning rapidly
"I'm sorry" poet said "I have to go now but please don't let this harden your heart" she continued coughing a bit the mark now a half moon
"promise me you will find someone else… to… love like you did me…and" she started coughing and I held her closer the mark was almost gone. "find someone who… will…love…you like I did you" she said as the light of life left her eyes and the mark vanished and I broke into tears
"I promise" I choked out through the sobs holding her now lifeless body looking around trying to find Nah when I saw Vahl climb back out of the rubble a look of shock and sorrow on her face behind her I saw a cabinet open and Nah crawled out seeing me hold Poet she too began to cry figuring out what happened.
We soon returned to Skyloft minus Vahl who said she had to find someone called Mirakk. We headed to the graveyard to bury her, the only other ones there were Senna, Mom, Ren, Lily, and Soren. I didn't want Nah to see this so Luna was watching her at my home. Ren and I said a few words Lily just cried and Soren, Mom and Senna just stood to the side since they didn't know her that well.
Back at Home an hour later Luna PoV
It hurt seeing Nah cry like that, it hurt she didn't recognize me, but what hurt the most was the loss of Aunt Poet. I had already lost her once in the future I came from but now I had just watched her die a second time 'what am I going to tell Melody and Aria' I thought looking over at the bed where Drake was now sleeping holding Nah 'at least he still has you' I thought as I pulled up my hood and walked outside
"He's your what!" I heard a voice say and quietly headed toward it
"Shh I don't want him to know yet I want to tell him" another voice said I peeked up from a nearby bush and saw Soren, Ren, and, Lily talking to eachother
"But you do need to tell him eventually" Soren said
"He's right Drake deserves to know" Lily added
"But how do I tell him" Ren said "How do I tell him that Tsukuyomi is my Father"
At this I gasped and quickly covered my mouth
"Who's there" Soren shouted as Ren vanished and Lily opened her grimoire I started to back away when I felt someone behind me and metal pressed against my throat.
"Luna" Ren gasped as my hood fell and mask fell off a look of shock and recognition on Soren's face and I heard him whisper Severa 'how does he know my name' I thought concerned about this stranger
I felt the Ren's claw's move away from my throat and I turned to face him
"Please don't tell him" he said I just nodded
