Chapter 8: Split
3rd Person POV
"Hey! One-arm! I bet that's the hand you get off with isn't it!" A call came from the other side of the cafeteria. The taunt was obviously directed towards Akita, his bangs shadowed his eyes as he continued to the table silently. Sitting down last, the other three gave him a worried look, seeing as he was clearly irritated by the remark.
"What? Are you deaf too One-arm? Mute? Or maybe you just don't have it in you to say something back?"
Akita flew out of his seat as the words left the verbal assailant's mouth, the force sent his chair flying the other direction. Pan's eyes widened as he grabbed onto Akita's shirt sleeve, Colbalt grabbed his collar.
"I'm going to make him forget what year it is." he yelled as they kept their grip on him. "Let me go! I'm going to make his face look even worse!" the boy screamed with a clenched fist.
"It's not worth it, Akita! His face already looks like a snowman in late spring! Spare him!" Colbalt forced out as she continued to pull me back by my hoodie.
Akita planted his feet in the ground, the momentum of Pan and Colbalt sent them flying back into the table as he sat back down. "Yuki's getting here early tomorrow. Then I'll beat his face into a melted chicken beak with both hands." The angered boy muttered, visibly seething.
Beacon Courtyard
Akita's POV
"How much longer until she arrives?" Mauve asks, a bit peeved that I called them up a bit before (An hour before) Yuki came to visit and rebuild my arm.
I pulled out my scroll to check the time, "She says she'll be here in about 5 minutes."
Mauve and Colbalt sighed in relief as Pan didn't mind as much, simply sitting on the ground, twitching his black panther ears once and a while and slightly rubbing the large scars drawn across his chest.
"You don't mind, right Pan?" I questioned hopefully.
"Tsk." was his short answer.
"Pan...I believed in you..."
The sound of a large engine shattered the small conversation as we all turned our heads to see the Bullhead coming from a short distance away. It took a while, but soon it hovered over us and landed not far in from my position posted up against the light stand.
A smile worked its way on to my face as I began to walk a little faster towards the Bullhead.
3rd Person POV
A girl with long brown hair stepped off the ship, her pale complexion contrasted by the freckles that sprinkled her face. Yuki. Her green eyes brightened as they spotted Akita.
The rings on her forefingers were identical to the bracelet on Akita's wrist.
What seemed to be a happy reunion then turned into the continuation of a war.
In one swift moment, the rings on the girl's fingers shifted to wrap around her knuckles, they crackled with electricity as a bloodthirsty glimmer appeared in the girl's eyes. Akita equipped his sword just as quickly as he shot forward to meet her attack.
"Get down!" Mauve yelled, pulling Colbalt off of the pavement as Pan pounced away from pure instinct.
The weapons collided as a surge of electricity short circuited the lights and shattered a window or two. The weapons stayed locked for a second before Akita twisted his sword and broke the three weapons apart, he backed up as did the girl.
There was only a split second before they collided again, Yuki went for a high cross, the opposing sword landed in between the middle and ring knuckles, the momentum carrying Akita over Yuki and allowing him to land behind her. A horizontal slash was incoming, giving her little time to react, when it looked like one of them was finally going to land a hit, Yuki jumped forward landing on her hands, before pushing back and kicking the sword upwards.
Akita fell backwards with the sword, slightly losing balance. No trained fighter would let a moment like that go unnoticed.
The female's feet gracefully landed on the ground, without a moment of hesitation, they spun around and began to launch a clenched fist towards the stomach of her single-handed opponent. Once again, the attack was intercepted as the boy fell farther backwards, displaying a feat of flexibility, he sprang backwards as Yuki brought her fist back to her guard. The two once again stood at a stalemate with neither taking any form of damage.
Brown hair blurred as she launched the leading attack, moving in a zigzag, she appeared inside of Akita's bubble in record time, sending a left hook. With a smirk, he narrowly dodged the punch by dodging to the right before sending a kick at her chest with his left leg, which was caught, they had both yet to sustain damage.
Using Yuki's grip as a stepping stone, Akita boosted up above his opponent and stabbed his sword downwards, only managing to hit the ground where she used to be. Piercing green eyes went in for the kill, jumping above Akita as he was pulling his sword from the ground and throwing a smashing punch downwards.
A loud smack rang and echoed throughout the courtyard for all to hear.
Team NTSH
3rd Person POV
A seemingly crystal spear imbedded itself inside of the skull of an unsuspecting beowolf as the three hunters in training continued towards the burning village. Grimm fell one by one as the remainder of Team Nightshade ran forward without stopping, only offering instant kills as they passed.
The fire only seemed to grow even more fierce as they got closer, the god of flame was in rage as he took the lives of both the innocent and guilty. The teams' pace quickened as they heard a bloodcurdling scream reach out and grab their lungs.
Turning the corner, death filled their field of vision, red painted the frame of bodies littered across the ground with menacing shadows standing over them. A few humans had faces of bone and blood, much like the grimm that had ripped their flesh from them.
Hitsui immediately opened fire as Tom and Nila charged in with slight fear in their eyes. Metal wires wrapped tightly around the throats of the grimm before popping the heads clean off satisfyingly. Swords, spears and axes impaled the dark creatures, left and right as Nila struck out to avenge the dead.
More fire overwhelmed both them and the monsters, making them both temporarily retreat before a massive heat wave swept through, carrying them like an ocean.
With their aura reserves diminishing, Nila, Tom and Hitsui stared back to the center of the flames only to see a girl.
A girl with eyes and hair as red and as fierce as the flames that surrounded her.
Sorry this chapter took so long, I got really sick for a while and only recovered about a week ago. During the period that I was ill, I didn't have the energy to get a chapter out for you guys, for I knew it would only be mediocre at best if I wasn't in my best condition.
I am aware that this chapter is a bit rough around the edges, but as promised, I'm starting to bring this story into rising climax. Please leave some reviews, whether it be support towards my writing or the storyline, or criticism towards the same categories.
