Unknown Dimension VI: The Phoenix and The SOS Brigade VS The Dark Templar

Why... why does she respect him? I can't see a point in that, beside seeing him fighting a freaky monster, nothing else, why? And why does Ryu respect him, too? Just why? Too many questions surround this guy!

Kaoru finally speak up:
"Okay, then we must defeat this guy if we want to save his host and get outta here!"

Koizumi kept smiling:
"Okay, well, with your help, Kaoru-san, we might succeed."

"Heh... I doubt it, this guy isn't easy, even me and Enjeru-chan combined cannot fight him without Ryu's help, although it's been a ye... months of training, I don't know if I'm up against this guy yet, all we fought against were only Ryu's AIs, and we still couldn't beat the highest difficulty!"

You made it sounds like Ryu's training was a game or something, Kaoru.
"Okay... let me get this straight, we will fight him, right? Then... how on Earth are we going to beat this guy with 1 human, 1 helpless Time Traveler, 1 powerless Esper and 1 powerful alien along with a third rank warrior?"

"Third rank? Are you kidding me? I'm more powerful than Enjeru-chan, you know?"

"Nope, not at all."

"Urg... you're..."

The Dark Templar seems disappointed and he was doing a facepalm:
"Are you guy done arguing?"

Nagato stepped up, still stayed quiet a little:
"We are merely discussing..."

Did she do that on purpose?
"An... anyway, Kaoru! We are going to fight against him? How?"

"You, complaining guy..." - I have a name - "Will just stay out!"

"Wha...?"

"And Koizumi-kun, you can use your ESP power here, the throwing fire ball stuff? The crimson balls?"

Koizumi bowed and smiled
"My pleasure..."

You're becoming her underling, too?

"And Mikuru-chan, you should really just stay out, I can't afford seeing you get hurt!"

What about me? Don't you care about my safety?

"Yuki-chan, you'll help me, okay?"

Nagato just nodded and took another step. The Dark Templar lit his blades, getting ready for a fight...
"It's... time..."

Huh? What time? it's time to fight? Or our TOD (Time of Dead)?

Kaoru just pulled out her spear and dash straight to Zerahak, he took a step back and then counter her with a swift attack, Kaoru just barely escaped and she almost fall.
"Kaoru! We'll need strategy!"

"Listen! I am Kaoru, Phoenix's chosen one! My spear will guide me to victory! Yuki-chan, cover me, attack him when you see an opening! Koizumi-kun, throw him off-guard!""

All looked stunned... Asahina-san seems scared, Kaoru looked strangely serious comparing to just a while ago.
"Ka... Kaoru-san?" - Koizumi and Asahina-san.

And what was that speech for, eh, Kaoru? Is it really a good idea to tell your plan RIGHT IN FRONT of Zerahak?
She kept dashing up, but the this time, she was a little better, she change direction all the time, and running in zic-zac and circle, Koizumi suddenly threw some of his fireballs
"Fumoffu!"

The fireball cause Zerahak to raise one of his blade to guard, Nagato suddenly walk back and faded into darkness, Kaoru on the other hand, attack directly, but before the other blade of Zerahak could reach her, Nagato appeared from behind, using her bare hand punched and knocked Zerahak toward us... wait, toward us? WHA?
"Heh... don't worry, I won't hurt you two."

Then he stood up, jumped straight back, Koizumi threw some more fireball:
"Second Raid!"

Zerahak disappeared into the darkness, that was one quiet 10 seconds, everyone didn't know what to do since we couldn't see him, Kaoru said:
"Ha! Maybe he got scared and r... arg!"

She was attacked from behind, she "flied" and hit the wall, she can barely stand up, she used her spear to support her body.
"Wha... what was that attack? I... I cried foul play! Urg..."

What the heck? That was only one attack and he got Kaoru? How... can this be?

Koizumi yelled:
"The Crimson Fireball!"

A very big fireball (maybe? It didn't look like one in some aspects) was threw toward Zerahak, as he tried to run, Nagato dash with lighting speed behind him and grab him, as first I thought she was doing some suicide attack, she actually took a step back and threw Zerahak with full power, making him suffer damages from both sides.
Zerahak fell down, but why he was in mid-air, Kaoru didn't skip that chance, ignoring the fact she was injured, she picked the spear up and thrust it into Zerahak's body, but right at that moment, Zerahak disappeared, as if that was his hologram.

Zerahak reappeared beside me:
"Nice job... haaaaaa... You hurt me, but that's not going to happen again, maybe you could be somewhat of a challenge after all, Kaoru and the SOS Brigade."

How did he know about the SOS Brigade, Unknown couldn't have told him? It's quite unnecessary to tell your minion such thing.
Before I knew it, Zerahak walked step by step toward Kaoru, she seems to have lost her temper, dash right in and attacked Zerahak, each trust, each attack, each fireball... all missed, Nagato desperately trying to help Kaoru attack Zerahak, but no use, he even have his eyes closed...
"Wait... come to think of it, Asahina-san, why would he have his eyes close?"

"Ano... um... I don't know... but wait, Kyon-kun, look at his hand, he holding it tight, his left blade is glowing and he's hiding it behind his back!"

He must be charging it up, but why? Don't tell me...

"*puff* *puff*... This... is getting boring..." - Kaoru said while trying to stand, she smiled for an unknown reason, Nagato showed no sign of tired, but I'm sure she is.

Then... *piercing sound* A spear thrust straight trough Zerahak body, his blade kept glowing but he kneel down.
"Nice job... that was tricky, but not enough to beat me, Kaoru... Plasma Blade charged..."

He used his blade, he just swing his arm and Kaoru, Koizumi and even Nagato were knocked away and hit the floor, only Kaoru was unlucky enough to hit the wall... again.
Koizumi tried to stand up:
"Such... power..."

I ran toward them, I told Kaoru:
"No, Kaoru, you need to rethink your strategy, we've come so far! We need to find that Unknown bastard, we need to..."

"SHUT UP!" - Kaoru suddenly yelled and stood up

"SHUT UP and LISTEN! I am... my name is Fenikkyoi Kaoru! The Spear of Justice that pierce evil!"

Everyone was shocked, all her injuries were healed, her armor changed into a more... beautiful one and looked stronger...
"With my spear, Wrath of Phoenix, you will be defeated! YOU GUYS, just get out of here, I've found his host, just behind a door, go straight from here and turn left at the first turn, you'll see it! Now, release his host, he'd get a lot weaker and I'll be able to defeat him!"

"Ha ha ha, Kaoru, so that's what you were doing, I'll enjoy this fight!"

"Ka... Kaoru..."

"Quickly! Even I can't hold out against this guy for long!"

We then tried to run as fast as possible toward the door Kaoru mentioned, we finally reached it and we couldn't hear what was happening at all.
"Darn it! The door is locked!"

Koizumi signaled me to step back
"Let me! Nagato-san, help me, please."

He threw large fireballs at the door, then Nagato dash up and punched it with such power that you wouldn't want to even see it, the door was smashed completely. We went inside and found a big capsule, inside lies someone, looked like he was 20 or something. We tried to break the capsule, but no use, Nagato then found a control computer.
"This computer has all the data and control to the capsule, I will hack it and acquire enough data and gain access to the capsule."

10 minutes passed
"23.3167%"

15 minutes passed
"47.32154%"

Time passed by, it's been half an hour.
"Hacking progress... 98.654233%..."

A few minutes later
"Hacking progress 99.9999999999999%"

A few seconds later, looked like the last 0.0000000000001% took longer to hack.

The capsule opened, the guy inside fell out and hit the floor.
*thud*

Fortunately, he was unconscious, it took a few minutes to get him awake...
"Ah... where am I? Urg... who are you? Wait a minute? Aren't you the SOS Brigade?"

"How did you know about us?"

"Well, you guys are popular in... ah! Of course, Unknown... Ryu... Kaoru... urg... I remember now."

Koizumi kneel down and asked:
"What's your name? And what happened?"

"My name? It's Kuraidaku Kyo, you can call me Kyo, 19 years old. I and that girl... who was it? Ryu's girlfriend or something? Well, what was her name... Tenshi? Hm..."

"Wait... Ryu's girlfriend?"

"Nah... I'm not sure, but it looked like so, they seems close."

"They seem close" doesn't qualify at a couple, Kyo-san.

"So... what happened?"

"Oh, of course, I was an IT Student, I visited Ryu's school that day since we were friends, I never thought it'd turn out like this... Few days before that, Ryu entrusted me with a piece of necklace, this one, the one with the dragon on it. Then one day, 1 guy from a girl... what are their names? It's like they were also from another world, Sakai or something was the guy and Sha... Sha... I forgot. But that day, the Unknown used the girl power and set up a seal around my world, stopping everything and everyone except for the environment."

Like our world right now? Is that... the same seal?

"I and that Tenshi girl were the only one beside them, Ryu and Kaoru can move, I even wished that he didn't give me the necklace, he said it'd protect me, I thought it was a joke... and it indeed is one, look! Did it REALLY protect me? Heh!"

You seems rather "know it all" and "normal" in this kind of situation.

"Well, that's all I remember, up to the part that bastard used some kind of move name "Soul Reaper" on us but Ryu jumped in and blocked it, making his power go all away into the Unknown's hands, the Unknown then grabbed the 2 of us and left, I also remember arguing with him a little, seeing him abducting some of the others, I also recognized some of Ryu and Kaoru's friends... That's all..."

Hm... seems rather tragic... Wait! Kaoru! Of course!
"Everyone, Kaoru is still fighting with Zerahak! We must hurried back!"

Koizumi seems surprised, don't tell me you forgot, Koizumi!
"Yes, let's, Kaoru-san must be worn out!"

Kyo stood up right away:
"Wait, Kaoru? Hurry!"

Urg... Kaoru, be safe, are you alright? Did you defeat him? He must be weakened! What are you doing now, Kaoru?
