At the dark temple
"Jin I hope you have plan of attack, since you have failed last time," Mandara said.
"Far from it my lord and we might have some unlikely allies by our side," Jin said he showed a vision of the guys in suits and Cardilla in the picture
"Interesting," Mandara said.
"They are called the Red viper, my lord, and they pretty famous for their weapons and drug smuggling operations even the cities law enforcements failed to stop them," Jin explained the vision.
"There is someone in there that is an old acquaintance of mine, he can be of use to us Jin," Mandara said.
"Master," Jin said?
"Go plan out your attack, the end will be near," Mandara commanded.
"As you wish my master," Jin said as he left.
In the syndicate's lair
"Kenmare, I heard," Cardilla said.
"I know Cardilla; the rise of Mandara is at hand, he said as he appeared from the shadows with a glass of wine, he has a black suite on, with short light black hair.
"So you heard, but how did you," Cardilla asked.
"I have my way Cardilla, but when the time is right, we will make this city, ours for the taking, it will belong to the Red Viper" Kenmare said as he looked at the city.
"Are you going to form an alliance sir," Cardilla said?
"Yes when Mandara rises again," he said drinking wine.
"But what is in it for us," she asked?
"We will become his generals in the end Cardilla," and then laughed in a sinister manner.
"Well I suppose that will do as long as I get what I want, Cardilla thought.
Meanwhile at Aoi academy
Kazuki took a deep breath meditating under the trees.
"Hey," Nezu said came to Kazuki ready to fight him.
"Hey," Kazuki was also prepared to fight him.
"Dodge this, Nezu threw kunai knifes and shurikens at him.
"You're going to half to better then that Nezu," Kazuki said as he dodged the shurikens by jumping then threw a kunai knife at him.
"Not bad, you got the right skills of being one of us," he said throwing a kunai knife at to counter the other one.
Nezu then got two of his Sais and started attacking Kazuki.
"I know my way around close combat Nezu;" I learned from the best, Kazuki dodged it.
"Right, by the way where is Yuna," he then stopped.
"Oh she has cleaning duty for today, I told her I was going out for a bit," Kazuki also stopped.
"By the way you asked me about a girl you like huh," Kazuki said.
"Yeah," Nezu said.
"All I can say is just be yourself, be nice, and don't pretend to be something you're not, and I'm sure Morisaki will like you," Kazuki said.
"Yeah, Coming from the greatest magician in the world," Nezu said teasing him.
"Hey that was back then," Kazuki said bushing.
"Oh really, well whatever, I also have somewhere to go too, later Nezu said as he vanished.
"See ya," as Kazuki left.
"Yuna I'm here, Yuna, Kazuki looked around class 2-b but did not see her.
"Oh hey Shikmori, if you're looking for Yuna she left with Kuriko," Mrs. Eva said as she was sleeping.
"I see, thanks," he said the left the classroom.
"Sure what do I care, you just a ghost after all," Mrs. Eva said still sleeping.
"Uh Mrs. Eva he's been human for a while now, Kazumi said.
"Whatever you say, she said still sleeping.
"Man what a day that was yesterday, I wish can wake up one morning with Mandara's ninjas out of my way and out of my hair," Kazuki said thought coming to the dorms then find her.
"Kazuki," Yuna called to him as she had on a white yukata.
Kazuki was so shocked on their beauty on the three wearing a yukata
"Uh what's with the yukata," he asked.
"Kazuki haven't you forgotten, the summer festival is tonight," Yuna said.
"Most have slipped my mind," he said in a sarcastic manner.
"Sorry I left early without you but I just had to get this yukata while it was half off, so what do you think," Yuna said?
"Well, um, you look lovely," Kazuki said as he was amazed.
"Thank you," Yuna said.
"So how about mine Kazuki," Kuriko said as she had on a blue yukata.
"You look lovely too, both you and Rin," he said.
"Thank you," Kuriko said posing.
Later on that night at the festival
"It been a while since I been to a festival," Kazuki looked around the light and food stands.
"It is as I remember," Rin said looking around.
"Rin you been to a festival before," he asked.
"Once before, with Shunji," Rin said feeling a little down.
"Oh I'm sorry I did not mean to," he said explaining feeling bad.
"It's all right, you didn't know," Rin said feeling better.
"Hey man," Nezu said waving as he notice Kazuki and the others.
"Nezu, you here too," he said?
"Negative man, I asked Sayumi to the festival," he said as Sayumi showed up with a green yukata.
"Well, that's good to hear."
"Nezu lets go over there," as Sayumi was blushing she then grabbed his hand and took him to the food stands.
"I never seen this side of Morisaki before," Kazuki thought looking at her.
"Kazuki we should go too, there is plenty to do here after all," Yuna then got hold of him.
"That right, the night is still young," as Kuriko got a hold of him as well.
"Uh sure okay," he said as he went with the three.
As the night went by Kazuki and the girls enjoyed the festival actives such as shooting range, catching little fish, wearing mask, eating dumplings, and holding sparkles.
"So far they are at the festival sir;" Cardilla was spying on then in the eating rice cakes, and talking on the phone.
"I see, we now be ready to attack the academy soon and some ninjas will be over there to assist you," Kenmare said on the phone.
"That is understood sir,"
"Go Jin, the time is now, and I am sick of being stuck in this form," Mandara ordered.
"Don't you fail this time Jin, or Mandara may not let you run supreme" Flare intimated him.
"I don't need a lecture from someone who betrayed the mystics long ago, I'm going now Master," Jin vanished with other ninjas.
"Kazuki the drum show is starting lets go," Yuna said as she went ahead.
Moments later Kazuki had another Flash back of Gina and him only at the festival
"Hey Kazuki lets go here," Gina said holding his hand both laughing.
"Gina, wait, if you run to fast you will hurt yourself," Kazuki said.
"Oh you worry too much, your starting to sound like Sera," Gina said.
Flash back ends
"Kazuki, Kazuki, what's a matter are you not having a good time, you look a bit sad," Kuriko asked.
"Huh-uh, I'm having a great time believe me, well the fireworks are starting and you are not there yet, everyone is waiting," Kuriko was pulling his arm.
"Oh sorry, let's go,"
As the night went by the fireworks started all of them was there, Rin, Yuna, Nezu, Sayumi, and Kazuki
Kazuki then thought to himself happy "This certainly will make up for old scars."
That night at the academy Mandara's ninjas broke in the vault and attacked the campus security
"Ha this barrier is no match for our skill," Jin got in the vault and took the mirror.
"Hold it right there," said one of campus security.
"Hold yourself fool," Cardilla attack him behind the back with her magic.
"The end is at hand," Jin then vanished away with the other ninjas.
"Everything is all set sir," Cardilla called the Kenmare.
"Good, return back immediately," Kenmare ordered.
"Understood sir,"
The next morning the Academy was wrecked
Kazuki was shocked "Oh no,"
Nezu notice it too. "Uh-oh"
Kazuki what happen? Yuna asked.
"That is what I am wondering," Kazuki said thinking.
"Do you suppose it was another magic incident, Nezu wondered.
"Doubt it; none of the students here have that kind of power,"
A sign was on the walls saying Classes is canceled due to a attack
Now then rise my master Mandara, rise, Jin used the power of the mirror and bought the demon ninja Mandara back to life in fresh and bone.
He laughed as he was free, "I am free once again."
Jin knee to him "Welcome back my master"
"Yes welcome back," Flare also went on his knees.
Then they all felt a strong presence of magic
"Did either of you feel that just now," Kazuki and the other were intimated by the strong magic energy.
"Kazuki," Sera and her assistant shown up right before them
"Sera sensei, what is going on?
"A dark and terrible evil is here," Sera said as she was serious.
The battle begins next chapter, so don't worry I am not done just yet.
