The messenger chapter 13: Portal Jumping: Don't Fail: They would be proud…

(Cu)

We arrived at a burnt out town… peoples bodies were everywhere, lifeless… "Their not dead, it looks like they had their souls ripped from them… watch out!" A man wearing a tuxedo and a pure whit mask and gloves struck my cheek with a powerful knife! I fell to the ground and called forth Follower to strike with an upper cut slash, but his knife blocked the attack with no effort. He took out a scale and placed a feather on one end and he then ripped through my body with his left hand! He waited a moment and then looked perplexed… "Why are people defying the rules? Why is this dead kid alive! Why is his soul gone?"

The words struck me like, like, well it hurt… "Attack now, quickly, we can find out soon!" Gram shouted into my mind and I quickly lashed out with multiple slashes with my short sword and Follower did so as well, but he simply used the knife to repel all my attacks! "Name's Phantom, dead kid… your existence is a disgrace… come forth Anubis!" He tapped the scale and it tipped and released a jackal-headed beat wearing Egyptian clothing and holding a scale. "Mudoon and Hamaon" Anubis swung the scale and the two sides released a blast of dark and light! "Get out of here Phantom!" Two chakrams flew into the blasts and absorbed the energy a person in all black except his skin and he had two Chinese wind and fire wheels as well as a sword strapped to his back. (Wind and fire wheels are often mistaken for chakrams but chakrams are actually fairly small in comparison)

He turned to look at me and smiled… holy shit he looked just like me! He snapped his fingers and a portal opened up, and he kicked me into it! I swear he whispered "Don't fail… no matter what" as I fell in. I felt a strange bond, like he was sad… "Thou art I and I art Thou, thou have established a new bond… the forsaken" (Yep a custom Arcana just for that guy)

(Shiki and Kaze)

The place was like, judgement day everything seemed dead! We heard gun shots, and slashing sounds coming from the east! We headed over there and saw a bunch of people in military uniforms… suspiciously similar to FMA ones… anyway they were fighting wildly against demons, with demons? One boy fought with a handgun and a machete, by his side was an Ogre armed with a hammer and sword! An enormous armoured being with wings equipped with a spear and shield was attacking them! He quickly killed all but one beast with a lion headed creature with wings and talons.

"Sayuki… shoot it down please" The boy spoke calmly with no hesitation; he had bluish green hair and wore goggles (based off my character on SMT Imagine!) "Sure thing Mr DB!" A girl with silver eyes, silky brown hair wearing a school jumpsuit and a crescent moon ribbon, suspiciously like Kaze's spear… answered DB and took out a sling shot! Seriously she was expecting to shoot that thing down with a rock… she must be dumber than Kaze… ok she made the shot and killed it… wow that's some powerful luck… All of a sudden Kaze got two circular cuts on him! As I someone threw chakrams at him! Then the girl and Kaze met eye to eye and fainted! What was going on!

(Zanosuke)

"That silver haired bitch didn't pay me!" Those words rang through my head… either that kid has been an assassin since he was born or sis is alive? "Masakado do you know the truth!" I yelled, he's supposed to be protector of this city he should here me "I do not know if she is alive, Zanosuke… I only know what happens in this city… look too your left he'll pick up my head and then he'll take you to another place to fix your swords". I turned and I laughed, it was the oni from the cave, he was dressed in detective clothes trying to look normal but… hahaha it was obvious who he was! He growled and took the head and placed it into a box. He took out a black stone and smashed it… and a big portal thing opened up! He pushed me in! I'm pretty sure he is suppose to take me there, damn it maybe I shouldn't have laughed.

As I came out the other end I rammed my head into a black haired kid holding a short sword! We both cursed as we hit the floor and we heard a hammer clanging and we looked up, above us was a large black smith man and he looked at us "I'm Hephaestus god of smiths and technology, Philemon has told me of you and I'll be happy to refuge your weapons, but I want you to do something for me first…" I had a bad feeling this was going to be annoying.

(Tisa and Raidou)

As the beam came closer Raidou chanted words and threw a capsule to the ground "Hee-ho Kun!" A snowman like figure appeared and created a wall of ice that shattered when it came in contact with the blast but the shards then flew at Yellow and we were safe! "Hee-ho I'm a Jack frost nice to meet you!" Raidou quickly ordered again "Hee-ho Kun… I need you to become black frost we have to defeat this guy!" "Raidou, Yellows an it" "Fine it. Anyway…" "Gotcha Raidou buddy" Hee-ho Kun jumped and then turned demonic! He became an enormous black and purple snowman with ice, fire and darkness erupting from his body!

"MaBufuDyne" the lab became much, much colder… suddenly all of the area in front of him was freezing over! Yellow got up and drew out a rapier and a whip sword. He span in a tornado shape and the ice just passed by it! Yellow flower petals started falling from the ceiling burning everything they touched! We ducked for cover under some desks as the petals fell. I had to act to win this! I jumped out and juggle fired my guns aimed at Yellows face, but it just dodged eloquently almost as it was dancing in the air! "Out of the entire group I'm the fastest without using my soul and even when I do I'm still 2nd place!" Yellow boasted but seemed discontent with 2nd place… I called out Fenrir and Tokami leapt out and summoned Orthrus "Maragi! Bufudyne! Kill rush!" Orthrus releases multiple fireballs and Black frost sent a stream of ice and Fenrir rushed forward and seemed to absorb the magic! He charged into Yellow and bit into its shoulder and then ripped its left arm off! "Ahhhhh the touch of pain… how I missed it… Violet would be proud of you if she was here."

Yellow's arm regenerated and he grabbed Fenrir's head and threw him away! "Well I got what I came for… perhaps I should test it!" Yellow whipped out a high tech futuristic sword which was charging electricity around it! "A rail sword, I can't believe this was made at this time period! And better then the ones in the future, with this new better weapons can be made! Now Tisa would you like to taste some of its strength!" Yellow released the electricity and it slammed into my body! It felt like everything was going dark for a moment… and then I saw another portal open up and Yellow was curing me? "Do your best… don't fail" before he kicked Raidou, Tokami, Hee-ho Kun and I into it.
