Episode 12: To the Heavenly Valley and A fight with Typhoon
Arashi finally got back he was going to rest now; that battle took a lot out of him as well as his little friend Diablos.
In his room he was in his bed softly think about the battle; however Yuki wanted to talk to him it was the dead of night.
"Arashi well done you have two more pieces left; once you have the key assembled you will be able to find me, and then you will show Thanatos your might.
There are two more goddesses left to free now; be careful these places are getting tougher, and I have seen these monster before I got captured.
Get some rest you will need it Arashi; it takes about a week to get to the place, and it wont go any faster for you...farewell for now." the crystal stopped glowing as Yuki left.
There was no time to continue talking about this; he needed his rest for tomorrow and he knew this resting on his pillow he went to sleep.
The next morning he got up from his slumber softly; it was time to head for the Heaven Valley maybe he might find the goddess Mitsuko.
However there was a bit of a snag to his plans this morning; there was a bad windstorm so he could fly in this weather this was odd.
It seems that Thanatos is trying to keep him from his goal; so this wasn't a surprise when he sent another minion to distract him this time.
Typhoon was know as the demon of the winds, but that not the bad part; it is also said that he might be the brother of Tsubasa.
He might be out for revenge for what the mortals did; by the rage of the winds I can tell you that hunch might be correct.
"Sonny I think we have to take care of this guy; Typhoon live on Frost Mountain not far from here, but be careful it is very treacherous climbing.
You also must be careful of the native monsters, and they are indeed fearsome; they don't take kindly to stranger that are not of them, so have your blade in hand in case you are ready for a fight.
Here take this with you it will give you an edge; it call the Ring of the stars put it on it will give you better magic protection.
Well sonny you better get going now time is wasting; besides one he's gone we will be able to get back to our work without worrying about him." nodding softly Arashi set off in search of Typhoon.
They couldn't fly in the air because the strong winds; so they had to go on foot luckily Diablos was fast runner so this wasn't a problem.
They finally reached frost mountain boy was it cold; Diablos didn't like this weather he normally like very warm climates.
Fortunately the nice man gave Diablos a good layer to were; now Arashi doesn't have to worry about his dragon buddy getting cold.
It was a long climb up the air was very cold; with the ice armor that he has the cold winds will aid him in battle, for the cold increases the defense of the armor.
They were not at the summit yet however they were cautious; it was a blizzard blowing and they couldn't see a thing out.
Diablos was growling as they continued through the path; something was out here with them they were very hostile by the growling.
Arashi was looking around the place he couldn't see; however like a flash something came at them with quick speed.
"Ah great heavens!" Diablos dodged the attacker they almost took one serious hit; it seems that the monsters here are ice types.
Ice Crawlers are know for a bone chilling ice attack; however even the ice can melt with a little help from the golden lantern.
After fighting them off they managed to get though; however Arashi was very injured with this even so he at some berries of health.
However they were running out of these berries; before he looks for the Goddess of Light he might need to buy some after this battle.
After a long climb they reached the cave of Typhoon; the wind demon was said to live there in this deep dungeon of a lair.
Arashi told Diablos to stay outside this time; however the last demon he fought almost killed him.
Diablos didn't like that he had to stay put; however Arashi can be thick headed sometimes he doesn't often follow the rules.
Going into the cave he heard a deep snarling sound; this spooked Arashi a little however he still ventured forth into the caverns.
Finally he reached the end of the cave where Typhoon hides; he looked hideous once you got up to him.
Typhoon looked at the human with a large stare; the once he found out it was Arashi he was furious at his presence.
"You I know you your the one who slayed my brother; I wont allow him to die in vain because of what you did to him.
I shall kill you in the name of my brother Tsubasa; then I shall eat your bone just to seen a warning to those fools." Arashi had his shield with him he'll need it.
Typhoon was know for his terrifying wind attacks; one wrong move and Arashi could get caught up in his 'Wind Gale' attack.
Arashi had to dodge quickly before he got pulled in; that was a close one hiding behind the rocks they offered him protection for now.
"That little rock you hide behind will not save you; the power of the wind will draw you out like a rat caught in my trap.
There is not escaping me mortal I see your fear; prepare to die like the little coward you really are." The winds picked up Arashi's leg got swept in the storm causing him to be dragged from his hiding spot.
Typhoon grabbed his body with tremendous force; he slowly crushed him causing excruciating plain.
Diablos was told not to come inside the cave with him; however he was a bit annoyed he could get hurt if he didn't join in.
Typhoon violently shook Arashi back and forth; grinning with the most devilish face you would ever see from a demon.
With a great toss he through Arashi across the cave; he screamed landed near a hard rock with force it knocked him out cold.
"Well look at this the little rat has taken a hit; I'll finish you off I will be able to avenge my brother you viscously killed.
I will enjoy this soon I will destroy the town; letting them know the pain I faced but it will be too late for them to realized that." Typhoon came close to his body he was still unconscious at the moment.
Diablos heard his scream this time he had to disobey; he rushed into the cave looking for Arashi his owner.
Once he got in there he saw Arashi knocked out cold; jumping on Typhoon he bit his nose with a strong amount of force.
Diablos knew that he was not able to battle now; so he took matters into his own little paws by fighting the demon.
He was hitting him with his flame type attacks; they were working Typhoon was an ice type demon even though he controlled the wind.
This means he had a terrible weakness to him; Typhoon backed up trying to run away from the heat of the flames.
But it was too late for him to run anymore; Diablos did a devastating move know as the 'Death Buster' it was a fire ball attack.
This not only did harsh damage to Typhoon it slayed him; he fell down the ground death the ice forming around his lifeless body.
Diablos quickly went to check on Arashi licking his face; he was slowly waking up however he was a bit banged up from the looks of things.
"Diablos boy thanks for saving me back there; well I guess you were right about fighting alone, maybe it's time for you to join in.
I'm sorry about not letting you come with me; I hope your not too mad at me for all the times I left you outside in the cold." Diablos gave a toothy grind to his friend, and he also gave a wet kiss in a way he said 'I forgive you'.
They finally made it back to the town safely; after eating the berries of health Arashi was feeling a bit better.
It normally get's late hear early for they live near the mountains; it was time to get some rest for everyone needs their sleep.
This time Arashi wasn't going into battle without Diablos; maybe now he isn't as thick headed in fighting monsters alone.
Tomorrow they will head out to the holy mountains; but for now let them rest we can find out about everything later.
