Episode 10: Boogie with the Storm Demon

Arashi was traveling at a good pace at the moment; however there was going to be one problem to his little trip for now.

It was a large storm Arashi didn't like this one bit; for once this storm comes he cant cross by air he's already near the ocean.

Arashi had no other choice to land back down to the cape; it was a little town so at least he gets to rest Diablos for a little bit.

This storm that came was very unusually to everyone; normally it doesn't often get stormy out here, but someone knew what was happening around here.

"Ah I see I guess that demonic terror doesn't take a hint; Tsubasa he's been causing trouble for the townspeople here.

I cant wait until some one defeats him this time; after that maybe then we can get back to our fishing, and wont worry about the storm again.

Hey why don't you go fight for the town young one; out of everyone out here your the only warrior we see, and were to weak to fight that dreadful demon.

Here take this it the Silver Scope sonny, and I can tell you this will be useful; his lair is hidden form human eyes, but with the scope you will find it.

Be careful though his minion are very strong, and they wont take kindly to you; good luck in there were counting on you now...watch yourself well." Arashi took the orders from the fishermen well this might help him out.

Tsubasa's lair as the old man said was not far from here; however in order to get there he needed to go through a swamp, and that meant there will meet new enemies.

They approached the swamp it was an uneasy feeling; treading in the water both of them looked very worried at the moment.

Diablos smell the air to make sure they weren't being watched; however they did here someone a quick splash of water came from a distance.

Stopping fast Diablos growled loudly showing his teeth; Arashi got out his blade this meant that trouble was along the way for them.

It was quiet a bit too quiet for a swamp at the moment; looking around they didn't find anything with them, but someone was out here.

All of a sudden ugly creatures came jumping out at them; this startled Arashi a good bit I can almost say that it scared them.

"What in holy heaven are those things?!" Arashi pulled Diablos back they caught them by surprise.

They were Bayou Swimmers they were ugly creatures, and not to add they were feared; they often hide in the marsh for sneak attacks.

Boy Arashi is going to have a tough time with them, and they were very rough to beat; for they rough skin was said to take a lot of sword hits.

They bit him from side to side I can tell you it's annoying; Arashi got tired of this little game they were playing with him.

He threw one of them into the water with a splash, and so did another Bayou Swimmer as well; the rest ran off scared going back into hiding in there swamp.

However they were pretty injured Arashi got a bad cut; the berries they had wont heal it fast but it will get him to full strength.

Traveling through the swamp he needed to find the lair of Tsubasa; he almost for got about the Silver Scope he was given.

He got the scope out of the side brace on his saddle; once he got it he looked through it surveying the area looking for the lair.

After a few searches he found it near the dark edge; it was a creepy looking place if you asked me, however this wasn't the time for being scared.

It was a very deep cave he needed to get the golden lantern; Diablos waited outside however he will rush inside just in case he needs help.

While walking in the cave he heard a devilish sound; this must be Tsubasa he might be in the deepest part of the cave, so Arashi had to be really careful about this guy.

Tsubasa was sniffing around is cave with caution being rough; however soon he will see his hutch was right at the moment, and you didn't have to tell him this.

"Ah how dare you bring this fowl light into my cave; as for that you will die foolish mortal, so you were sent by the townspeople to defeat me.

They were fools to send the ugly likes of you; I will kill you now with a powerful force, and after that I shall send your bones as a lesson." Arashi was holding his shield in his hand, not knowing what was going to happen. he braced for the worst of damage.

Tsubasa had sharp claws that could tear apart a human; Arashi got a full taste of those claws. it scratched his shield and his face causing excruciating pain.

Arashi's scream could be heard form the cave entrance; Diablos was worried sick about Arashi at the moment, and he was pacing back and forth scared stiff.

He was bleeding a little this wasn't turning out as he planed; Tsubasa gave a smirk however he wasn't done with him yet.

"That was only a tiny scratch I gave you boy; that only a fraction of my deadly power, and now I will show you the rest of it...by force." Arashi got up trying to block the next attack coming towards him.

However he couldn't do it he was hit again this time hard; Arashi took a bad hit to the side, but if he didn't have his armor on he might have broken a rib.

Trying to crawl away Tsubasa caught him with his feet; before you knew hit he slowly stepped on him causing agonizing pain to his body.

"How does it feel horrible good that will teach you a lesson; Oh there more where that came from rat, and soon you will be already dead." Thanatos was watching this from the crystal, Yuki was doing the same thing.

"Well look my dear it seem my friend Tsubasa doing well; like I said before he hasn't taken on more powerful minions, and this is one of my minions he will lose to." giggling softly he found this little incident very entertaining.

However Yuki on the other hand found this so heart breaking; she couldn't watch anymore of it, but if Tsubasa kept doing this Arashi will surly die.

Diablos heard screams from the cave it was Arashi's voice; that does it Diablos couldn't wait any longer his friend was in there, and he wasn't going to let him die like this.

Running into the cave he was growling loudly like a lion; Tsubasa heard this he didn't know what was coming towards him.

With his sharp razor like teeth Diablos bit Tsubasa; he wasn't in the greatest of moods at the moment trying to shake Diablos off his arm.

This gave enough time for Arashi to get up from the ground; however he was still in bad pain at the moment from Tsubasa stepping on him.

With his blade he aimed for the mid-section of Tsubasa; this was the pin point location to slay him with, and he cant afford to miss this shot.

He saws still distracted by Diablos so this gave a great opportunity; charging at Tsubasa with great for he drew his blade at him.

It went right through his mid-section into the wall; Tsubasa roared with pain before falling down heavily to the ground dead.

Diablos got the sword form the wall for Arashi; trying to take a few steps he fell down heavily, Diablos rushed to his side making sure he's alright.

The storm has ended with Tsubasa's defeat the skies were clear; however Arashi wasn't in the best of shape, and with that Diablos rushed back to town.

The same man saw them with Arashi hanging off the side; by the looks of things he was pretty injured badly, so he was put into bed.

He got some berries of health from his side pocket; with a little healing magic from the goddess of the earth was going to be fine.

"Thanks for saving my back there Diablos I own you one; if you didn't rush in there by that time I would probably be dead now." Diablos was sitting by him feeling relived, so he leaned back giving him a wet kiss.

Don't worry he should be better by tomorrow or the next day; the healing medicine Hanako makes should heal him up a bit.

This enemy was the first time he had trouble with; however there will be more like this after this day he will try to find the water goddess.

It was sunset so it was time for everyone to rest up; maybe next time we will see how far Arashi will go this time.
