Damn we're already at 20 chapters, at it seems like just a couple months ago the idea for this whole story just came into my head. It's crazy to imagine how far we've become, and thank you to everybody who takes the time out of their day to even read this.
I greatly appreciate every single last one of you. Even though even I can admit I'm not the best writer and even a worst story teller but I try my best and appreciate all the support.
But enough of my talking here's chapter number 20, I hope you all enjoy.
He was her Protector. She was his voice of reason. They were both middle class Devils that were gifted fighters in there own ways among the ranks. This made them enter many tournaments and fights in the underworld granting them the Nicknames Izanagi and Izanami. Question is, do they even want the titles...
Chapter 20: Balance
For the last 5 days our heroes have been preparing for their trip to the Egyptian Gods as members from both Kamui and Rias Gremory's peerage have been training together.
But today members of Kamui have been summoned to Takamagahara for reasons unknown to them...
The members of Kamui are all walking in the castle as they are all nervous. "Was it just me or did Izanagi sound more... pissed than ever?" Yukihara says out loud.
"Yeah it sounded like he was aggravated with us or something" Isabella says. "But I don't understand why, we didn't do anything wrong because we've been training this whole time..." Cynthia says trying to figure it out.
"Whatever the reason, I'd like to get this over with as I was just figuring out how to use Emerald Thorn a lot better" Icarus says annoyed. "Same I was just about to finish that all or nothing move" Shén and Eden both say.
"Still I can't help but think what the reason is" Yukihara says as they've reached the door to the throne room and opens the door revealing an empty room.
"Huh?" They all say looking dumbfounded. "Where the fuck are they?!" They all shout in unison. "They're waiting for you in the Waterfall Area" A male voice says as they all turn around to look at him.
He has long silver hair and glowing white/blue eyes. He has on a black and white kimono with the the left sleeve cut off as it reveals the left side of his chest only having a right sleeve. He also has with an emblem for Cancer of the back of his Kimono.
"Or can you not feel their presence?" A female says as the lady next to him as 2 curly horns and short but curly pink hair almost like an Afro, but with long thick curls. She has on a suit like the rest of the Celestial Spirits they've seen.
"And you two are?" Yukihara says. The man glares at him as a lot of magic leaks from his body. "Kneel" He says as something comes over them all as they all fall to one knee and look at him.
"I am Cancer the XIII, the previous previous generation of the Cancer spirit" He says as Yukihara and Icarus both glare at Cancer. "The fuck does that mean?" Yukihara says but stops as he remembers the first time he met Leon.
"I am Leon the XIV Leo spirit as my son is the current Leo spirit" Yukihara thinks back on. "I am of the generation before the Celestial Spirits you know off. I'm the last of my generation as all my fellow friends are passed" Cancer says.
"And I'm Aries the XIV" She says happily putting on a much more happier approach. "I keep forgetting you guys don't know all of the Celestial Spirits, even the current ones" Cnythia says.
"Yeah but they're all still fairly new and don't have the same level of power as the XIV generation, which is why they're our familiars" Shén says as Cynthia and Isabella nod.
"So you're Celestial Spirits huh?" Eden says as they both nod sarcastically like they didn't just say yes. "To be more exact we're your Celestial Spirits" Aries says to Eden who looks surprised.
Yukihara growing impatient begins to leave the room. "You all can waste time here but I will be doing no such thing" Yukihara says exiting the room as everybody watches him leave.
"Is he always like this?" Cancer says as they all nod. "Amazing to see the personality of Izanagi's chosen one" He finishes as they all sweatdrop knowing the feeling.
Meanwhile with Yukihara, he is flying towards the Waterfall Area with the use of his Devil wings as he remembers from his first time training with Izanagi and Susanno.
After flying for about a minute he finally reaches the Waterfall enclosure as there's a big bubble around it but Yukihara effortlessly phases right through the bubble. "Now for the real challenge is finding them, especially with them concealing their pressence" He says scanning the area from the air.
He's surprised when from under him Izanagi cloaked in an Golden Aura appears from out of thin air and punches him to the ground. "Took you long enough, where are the others?" He ask him smiling.
Yukihara smirks at Izanagi happily as he charges Izanagi entering his Beserker Mode and his mask covering him along with his Bronze Gold and Purple Aura. There aura's clash as they lock fist,"Talking with Cancer and Aries."
Izanagi nods before disappearing as Yukihara smirks heavily as places his hands bellow him. "Zen' Nō No Seiun!" (Almighty Nebula) He says shooting a beam bellow him as Izanagi materialises and is barely able to dodge the attack.
"How did you?" Izanagi says surprised. "I've been using my real Sacred Gear my Eyes of War more than ever and it's helping me keep up your ridiculous speed" Yukihara states as Izanagi smiles as he's finally using his head.
"So I'll just raise it up a notch" Izanagi says as his speed increases by a lot as Yukihara can barely keep up with Izanagi's new found speed.
Izanami and the rest of the Gods are just watching from the ground. "Leave it to those two to start the brawl" Amaterasu says slightly disgusted by their pure brutality.
"Well I don't think he really has anything better to do since Yukihara is already doing what we want anyway" Fujin says. "The others won't be that easy I think..."
"That so?" Icarus says as he appears in a burst of wind before Fujin who blocks an incoming punch with his index finger. "Well minus you" Fujin says knocking Icarus back and looking at the rest of the group as they all nod.
Fujin starts to fly and leaves the Waterfall area as Icarus looks at this. "Where the heck you think you're going?!" Icarus says giving chase to Fujin.
"Altairis"
"Twin Destroyer Dragons"
2 voices says as Izanami and Amaterasu know it's their turn. Amaterasu makes a field of fire that blocks both deadly attacks.
"Nice try you two but you'll need to be better than that" Izanami says calmly as Alice lands on the ground with Shén next to her. "Well we figured if Yukihara is already fighting Izanagi then we should fight our respective Gods" Shén says.
A vortex of shadows and water appears next to them as well. "And they're not the only ones who had the same idea" Cynthia says as well. Suddenly the ground starts to rumble as Sarutahito dodges an underground attack from Eden.
"Damn really thought it would work" Eden says. "Well unlike Yukihara and Icarus..." Susanno says sweat dropping. "How about we all take you where you need to go especially since if we all do what we need to do here you'll end up destroying half of this place."
They all nod as the Gods split up going into different places as their students follow behind them curious at their plan. Meanwhile Izanagi and Yukihara are just watching them.
"What exactly was your purpose here anyway?" Yukihara asks him as Izanagi turns to him. "To get you all using your real Sacred Gears" Yukihara says.
Susanno and Isabella
Susanno lands inside of the Raining Island bubble as Isabella lands behind him destroying her Ice Hawk she was using the follow him.
"So what exactly is the purpose of th-" She starts as Susanno turns to her and charges an electric enhanced water beam at her. Isabella just barely managed to dodge the attack.
"What's your problem?!" Isabella shouts at him. "You're too soft..." He says appearing I don't of her and kicking her into the water as she tries to block with Ice Shield but fails.
Isabella concentrates while falling backwards as stands on top the water like it's nothing. "Atleast you're no longer using Ice for everything.." he says plainly.
He charges at her again, but as he's about to be in front of her changes directions to the side, he does this about 5 times before stopping behind her.
"And oblivious... Kanaboshi Riachō Torappu (Venus Thunder Flytrap)" Susanno says as the ground stars to glow around Isabella as she looks down and notices Susanno was leaving discharge on the water as the discharge starts to explode on itself.
Isabella not being able to concentrate starts to sink into the ocean. "Pathetic... this is how strong the host of the God of Storms, Susanno is?! Your a disgrace and a waste of space, you'll have a swift death on the battlefield against Jupiter at this rate!" Susanoo shouts as Isabella hears this underneath the water.
Suddenly 3 colossal Ice Titans appear on top the the water and try to attack Susanno, Susanno jumps backwards to dodge but is surprised when something grabs his legs as he looks down to see Isabella with glowing Blueish White eyes.
"Take that back!" She shouts underwater as an explosion of magic causes the water to jump up. She pulls him down underneath the water as he glares at her. "Hōden!" (Discharge) He shouts as he electrifies the water as Isabella screams underneath the water letting go of Susanno but glares at him.
"Don't fuck with me!" She says as she grabs him with her left hand as he places her right hand is placed on her chest as he is trapped him a ball of Ice. She summons a water Titan that punches him up into the air.
She quickly swims up as he's still in the Ice Ball Prison,"Sorry Yin but I'm gonna borrow this trick from you this once. Water Bomb!" She says throwing 6 water bombs on his Prison.
"No that won't be enough I need more power..." She says as she closes her eyes. "In the name of Susanno God of the Sea, Storms, and Water. I come to you in my time of need, I wish for your power to allow me to drench this world in your image using your subjects name I call upon thee, Soul Weapon, Suijin!" She shouts as a bright light appears around her.
In her hands are 2 long Crystal handles as suddenly a magical water of Blue and Gold appear from the Handles. "Suijin Water Whips!" She says as she jumps into the air as the Whips glow brighter.
"Dual Tsunami Strike!" She says spinning midair as the whips hit the Prison setting off the bombs as both Susanno and Isabella are caught inside the explosion.
Isabella slides on the surface of the water as Susanno lands on top of the beach with his gaze to the sky. "Well atleast she did it..." Susanno says to himself.
Eden and Sarutahito
Both of them are inside of the Mountain Valley enclosure as they are both looking at each other. "So what exactly is the reason behind this?" Eden says confused.
"For you to summon your Soul Weapon" Sarutahito says as her aura comes around her as she punches the ground as the Earth begins to tremble. "Chikyū Hasai" (Earth Shatter) Sarutahito says as the ground underneath her begins to grumble.
Eden jumps in the air dodging the attack while lunging towards Sarutahito who summons an earth wall stopping the attack. "I'll just break the-" Eden starts but stops as Sarutahito breaks through the wall and punches her with a lot of force knocking her back so far her body goes through a nearby mountain and stops on another mountain making a crater.
The mountain she went through starts to crumble and collapse on itself. Sarutahito looks at Eden just laying against the mountain side. Eden coughs up some blood,"Wasn't expecting that. Luckily I hardened my body before I went through those mountains."
Sarutahito dashes towards Eden. "Get up and fight with your fist!" She shouts as Eden moves out the way at the last second dodging the attack before her aura comes around her.
The two begin the to fight using their fist in close combat destroying the area around them. "Try harder!" Sarutahito says. "You'll never get anywhere if you can't use your real Sacred Gear!"
"Soul weapon huh?... That's the reason why we're here" Eden says tiredly and blood leaking from her head and arms with bruises everywhere. She starts to think about what Icarus said to her their first night from meeting everyone.
"Those guys are really strong, and I mean really strong" Icarus says to Eden as they are back home after being transported back by the Gods.
"Especially those 3 Shén, Yukihara, and Alice" Eden says thinking of them. "The amount of magic power they had was off the charts and the other two were no pushovers either" She finishes.
"And that Shén guy was full of tricks and surprises. He was just toying with me trying to see what I was capable of, when they said he could have killed me or seriously injured me I thought it was a bluff. But after watching that Yukihara guy and Shino clash something tells me they weren't lying" Icarus says.
"And then he summoned some cool bow call Kagutsuchi, I think he said it was a Soyl Weapon or something. He did a chant to his respective God and it came out of nowhere in a burst of power."
"That's interesting, wonder if we could do something like that?" Eden says tiredly. "We better!" Icarus says
Eden takes a deep breath as her aura explodes from her body mustering all the strength she possibly can. Sarutahito smiles as the wind being generated by Eden's aura is blowing parts of her kimono but doesn't seem to care.
"In the name of Sarutahito, Goddess of the Earth, Steel, and Protection. I vow to protect those in their deepest times of needs, I call upon your power to make my vows a reality. Chitanshīrudo!" (Titanium Shield)
Eden subconsciously puts her hand out infront of her as a circle shield in the form with the color brown on the inside and gold at the edges. In the middle is the symbol of the Shinto shrines.
But connected to the sword forms a sword with gold handles as the sword itself is black but has Kanji in Gold going up the sword saying "Sword of Triumph"
Sarutahito smiles looking at the Shield and handle of the sword. "Chitanshīrudo and Chitansodo the Titanium Shield and Sword respectively. Chitanshīrudo, the Shield able to block almost all attacks. And Chitansodo the Sword able to cut through all."
Eden smiles before both weapons disappear into magic particles as she passes out from exhaustion. "She wasn't ready to call upon them just like I thought, but she still forced her body to... interesting."
A/N: So I've decided to start this now rather than later. Get each member of Team Kamui adjusted to using their Soul Weapons in a fight and call upon them if they need to.
Just something that I decided myself after Shén using his during his fight with Icarus. But yeah sorry for the wait I really don't know why I didn't post this sooner cause it's been done for a week now ('^_^)
But whatever it's here now and that's all that matters. Hope you all enjoy and until next time, Peace.
