Disclaimer: Man this gets tedious, I don't own any characters as they belong to their creators and companies!
Time to shake a tail feather and finally complete this mini-arc but with two parts! That's right, I had to break it down (to my aggravation) but it's worth it in the long run. Will I even start-up that plot this time?
Go see (or read in this case) for yourselves!
Chapter 25
End of the Utopia - Flora bombardment (emergence)
Crystal Tokyo (South section) Crystal park.
The once peaceful park where the water sparkled nicely and couples with kids or an average-Joe wanting a nice rest was now on the verge of ruin. All the greenery surrounding the area has become dank with the leaves and flowers withering due to the dark power pumping out of a gigantic stem sucking the life energy from the place!
A twin-bun, green haired Tellu, and fourth member of the Witches 5, stood on top of a branch, relishing in what her flora powers were doing!
All the residents who didn't have enough time to escape got trapped in thick greenery as vines tied around their feet and arms. Two such ones were kids; a girl of seven years who had pink eyes and hair with her brother, who was around four years old. The girl held her brother tightly as she tried not crying under the circumstances but some did escape. Plant-like creatures that appeared at the end of the stem with sharp needle teeth snapped at them, causing them to squeal out.
The fourth member of the Witches 5 leered on happily at causing misery to them as her plants continued running rampant throughout the park. She had made a pact with lesser demons that contributed to her element; rock and wood golems that stood at a hulking six-feet tall, aerial eagles that had the height of a fighter jet and expansive big wings and the occasional demon-like mages, that held oak staffs to invoke control of the earth.
This time happened only an hour as Homura Akemi, black-haired guardian of Pluto's court (former Puella Magical girl and time/space manipulator) looked determined to free anyone captive but her eyes settled on the girl who waved to her earlier.
Madoka…and her brother, Tatsuya! A wave of melancholy hit her, remembering what happened in her own time period before coming to this one and settled.
She ended up separated from Tear Grants, Riku and Kotaro when the attack happened as each fended off some of the assailants and sending people to safety. The blue-eyed teen looked at her current goal as she held out her left hand. In the middle of it showed a diamond shape gem imbedded as it glowed a bright purple light and materialized a black-bow.
"I won't let anything happen to this version of Madoka. No one will ever harm her!" She seethed as she came out of the hiding place and glided towards the surge as purple energy wings locked on her back. Golem's and magi saw the target approaching fast as they converged to Homura's point.
Knocking her bow Homura let loose a single arrow of magic. It split to hundreds of tiny arrows piercing and stabbing many of the opposition.
Mages' locked their staff's together and formed a mighty glyph as it spun faster. It appeared on the ground and an avalanche of spikes erupted trying to impale the stoic Homura. An explosion happened and appeared happy at no sign of the girl.
Laughing at the foolish girl none saw an arrow pierced a target. Looking startled at the event the group witnessed Homura a couple of meters ahead of them and ended their lives. She continued on.
A rock golem came charging at her preventing her glide and lifted its arm to punch her to oblivion. Then the scene stopped as the golem-fist was near her face. Walking calmly around the attack Homura released another arrow to the sky and time returned to the normal flow. Flipping her hair she flew into the thicket of wood.
The rock golem with the darg magi of the underworld stared surprised and in disbelief at their target being gone until they met their end by impalement of streaking arrows.
Continuing the pilgrimage Homura continued slaying anyone that stood in her way until she came across the mutant plants threatening Madoka and Tatsuya. The little boy clung to his sister as she wrapped her arms around him.
Approaching carefully she closed her eyes and froze time once again. This gave her the chance to reach for them. Once they were in her presence their flow of time returned and looked startled at seeing Homura.
Madoka looked at the teenage girl with fondness, as if she knew her and smiled. Homura returned the smile until she felt her power draining! Holding to the children Homura flew them out of the thicket and back to the park where they came across their parents!
Landing on the ground Madoka and Tatsuya ran and embraced their parents who returned the gesture with vigor and thanked Homura for saving their precious children.
Homura nodded and told them to head for the nearest safest place which they did. As they turned around and headed that way Madoka stopped and ran back to Homura. Bewilderment showed on the teen's face as she wondered why she would come back.
"Madoka, you need to stay with your parents," She instructed like an older sibling. "You can't run off like that!"
The girl gave her a smile that not only stopped her protest but made her wistful about the days she knew her best friend. "Please be careful, Homura…" Madoka replied and gave her another hug made the chilly girl's heart warm. "And thank you for protecting me!"
As Madoka turned around she barely said something quietly that would forever resonate with Homura. "See, I told you we would meet again. Continue doing your best…"
The black-haired teen gave a gasp as she turned around but only saw Madoka run back to her parents who headed for shelter.
"Madoka…did I just imagine that?" Homura's face expressed wistfulness as she thought about her past once again but stopped. "No, that part of my life is over and I need to think about the present. Sailor Pluto would expect more from me!"
She looked down at her hand with the diamond and saw that she couldn't continue accessing her time-stop ability less she drain all her mana. From the time she came to this time stream, Sailor Pluto took Homura under her guidance as someone who knew about the different time planes and universes.
Sailor Pluto explained about how she still had access to her time abilities but they weren't as strong as before due to using up all her power just making it here and could only do it a certain amount. With that said Homura trained herself in the ways of a true magical wielder by using a bow which she could generate arrows from.
The days I used an MK-47, IMI Desert Eagle or nuclear bombs are over, sadly. She mused in her head before turning her sights back to the ever-expanding greenery of death. Flipping her hair (as she usually did in these situations) Homura kept her neutral expression on as she saw the enemy coming closer to the entrance.
"Sorry, but none will get through here," She stated her intent and fired an arrow which pierced the nearest golem and caused it to explode, taking a couple of its brethren and mages with it.
XXXX
Tellu, who watched on top of the largest tree there, stared amazed that a single girl could generate power like that of freezing time! "I never thought anyone could do that…I might have to assimilate her to my being." She leered dangerously as she saw her underlings falling left and right to the attacks.
XXXX
Just as Homura finished off a next batch a couple more took their place and charged recklessly at her! Eyes widening in shock that she couldn't keep it up, Homura would have to risk using another time freeze, even if it will put her life in jeopardy!
Modoka…I'm sorry. She prayed and her body had a purple outline. Before that happened however a woman's voice sings out.
"O melody beckoning toward the abyss. Tue rei ze croa riou tue ze." A song rang out as the intended targets slowed down and fell asleep.
Homura stopped her attack and recognized the wielder to that spell. "That's one of Tear's fonic hymns!"
The beautiful guard of fonic hymns appeared. Tear Grants was a couple of meters to the left of the assault team as she used the first song; Nightmare.
Homura let a small smile dawn on her face; this was not like the time of fighting alone and trying to change someone's fate, she had companions that she could depend on without no prejudice or distrust.
Walking to her fellow protector of Pluto, Tear held out her crystal staff and spoke to Homura. "I see you took care of this part of the park? And it looks like you used up prana with that time freeze of yours?"
Homura confirmed her assessment. "There are a lot here and that is the only option I had since I couldn't make enough arrows. I think I need to double up on my practice with Uryu?"
A chuckle escaped Tear's mouth upon Homura bringing up their mutual bespectacled friend.
As a rock golem stomped towards them Tear leapt in the air and threw out three short knives in a triangle sigil at its feet, creating a vortex of magic. "Severed Fate!"
The crony got destroyed as some mages took the puppets place and launched green spheres of energy towards them! Homura intercepted with her arrows which gave Tear a chance to use another of her artes.
"O divine spear, run my enemy through! Holy Lance!" Spears made of light pierced the dark elemental mages of Earth and wood as they collapsed in a heap.
The attack took care of any stragglers that were unlucky not moving but the victory was short-lived as they kept on coming to the teen girl's annoyance. Both prepped as they knew that if they fell to contain this surge than it would over run the southern part of the city.
"We have to push them back somehow and get to the main root of the problem, the former death buster!" Homura seethed as she fired another arrow at one.
Wielding her staff with expert flair Tear fired small balls of magic to distract them. Holding out her weapon a fire sigil appeared beneath her feet. Using it to her advantage she channeled the spirit flame for her next attack.
Holding up the staff a cannon ball sized fire sphere formed and used Searing Sorrow to wipe out the enemies in the middle of the attack separating their charge.
Homura grabbed Tear and flew towards the middle of the thicket. While in the air flying the sharp teethed plants extended their vines to slap them out of the sky! The black-haired teen glided them to the ground to avoid them but they followed in close.
Thinking fast Tear deflected the attacks by using the second verse Force Field as a crystalized barrier formed and protected them from the lashes. But it soon turned bad when the vines started wrapping around the field!
Just as they thought they'd end up plant food a lightning bolt struck the field and wiping clean the plant vines. Lowering the shield they saw a teen male with bleached-blonde hair, gray-colored eyes with an eyebrow pierced. He was tall and slightly muscular build. His clothes attire was a black shirt with a skull on the front, pants with his school jacket over his shoulders. Brown shoes were on his feet.
Kanji Tatsumi cracked his knuckles and held down his thumb. "Punks ain't got nothing on me!" he hollowed as he summoned his persona, Taka-Mikazuchi and used Zioyodne on the plants wiping them out.
Tear and Homura gasped at seeing Kanji, whom was another guardian for Jupiter. They thought he was in Inaba with his mom taken care of the textile/plushie shop!
"Kanji-kun knows how to bring the boom!" A child voice stated as Kanji and the two warriors of Pluto noted Kotaro, standing on a lamppost with his arms cross.
The ninja wolf demon brought out his hands as shadow like extensions pierced the demon magicians and gargoyles. The sharp plants tried ensnaring him with their vines until the wolf slashed them to pieces with his claws while blitzing through their soft hides!
"That brat likes showing off!" Kanji muttered as he called forth Taka-Mikazuchi once again to pulverize some of their enemies! Tear supported the two aggressive fighters by using Holy Lance and Banishing Sorrow to keep them at bay while Homura continued with her arrow assault until they cleared the area!
The purple eyed teen glanced at grinning Kotoro and smirking Kanji. "I didn't expect to see you here," She gave an inquisitive look to Kotaro. "I thought you were with Riku?"
"I was but once the invasion happened Riku ordered me to get residents to any safe passageways around the area while he took care of any strays that are breaking through the park!"
Accepting the answer she moved to Kanji. "And what about you, Kanji-kun?"
The lovagle tall teen had a confused look and answered. "Huh, I got done with all my personal stuff at home and ma wanted me to spend time with my friends," Kanji muttered. "I would have arrived here sooner but I had to make sure my hometown of Inaba was safe. I left Uryu, Ken and Rise there since they had that place under control before Shion teleported me here!"
"So I'm guessing the other protectors are taking care of the areas around Japan?" Tear asked which got a nod from Kanji. "We haven't been hearing much but its safe to presume that we aren't getting much help and have to deal with the enemy here!"
Kotaro grinned. "Hah, it will be easy; I smell her through that thicket!" He pointed. "Shall we go?"
They all soon headed to the jungle like area.
XXXX
During the process the four teamed group handled anything that approached them until they reached Tellu, third numbered witch! She smiled at them as she sat on a plant-like throne. "Ah, it seems I have company? Welcome to my kingdom of plants and flowers, children!"
"Who are you calling children you homicidal manic!" Kanji shouted. "Time to get your ass handed to you!"
The green-haired scientist only smiled down at him. "Such disrespect; I thought you would like all this greenery taking over the area!" Plucking a deep-red rose off the ground she gave a sniff. "Such beauty..."
"This greenery of yours is sucking the life out of living things," Tear pointed out, her tone turning hard. "It will spread like a virus and kill all living organisms if not stopped!"
"Well, the old ways must perish before a new sanctuary to start anew," Tellu spoke flippantly. She lifted a hand as dark petals floated above. "I have Queen Beryl to thank for upgrading my powers. I dare say I can deal with you in a matter of minutes!"
Homura and Kotaro scoffed for different reasons; for the former it was because she was a witch and what she stood for, destruction; for the latter because he couldn't stand his enemies talking down at him and thinking him a nuisance.
Knocking an arrow the once time traveler narrowed her eyes. "This has gone on long enough," She fired her arrow hoping to end this conversation!
Not to the surprise of anyone in the room (except for Kanji) Tellu vanished in a swirl of petals. "The fuck, she vanished!"
"Of course she did meat-head!" Kotaro rolled his eyes. "You need to spend time with studying with Nel-oniichan instead of bulking up with Aki-oneechan!"
"Shut up puppy!" He raged about to punch the kid on the noggin but before he could a swirl of flower petals pushed the two vassals of Jupiter to a wall!
Tear immediately went to their aid as Homura went on the offensive with trying to strike down Tellu!
The arrows split to miniature arrows in high-speed but none could strike the evasive woman who continued using her flora abilities. Tellu then emerged floating above and pressing her hand against a wall of wood. It glowed for an instant before changing to a giant-sized cannon!
Snapping her fingers a boulder sized ball of acid speared toward Homura! The girl tried utilizing her time-stop but she had already used up all her energy and started coughing!
Tear, who was healing the two guys with her fonic hymn yelled for Homura to move!
SWISH!
A single sword strike sliced apart the acid ball as the contents melted parts of the ground. Homura saw Riku while holding his keyblade, Way of the Dawn, in his left hand!
"Overused those powers again, Homura?" He asked.
Homura ignored the jab. "About time you got here, Riku."
"Hmph, you'd be amazed how those lower demons and magi are flocking all over this place," The silver-haired teen spoke as he pointed his keyblade at Tellu. "Now you face me, harbinger of darkness!"
Tellu looked at him with weary anticipation. For an odd reason she sensed the power of darkness in him but it felt like it had no control of his heart or soul. "I'm not sure who you are but you won't stop me!" She snapped her fingers again and her cannon was about to fire!
"Not on our watch, do it Kotaro!" Kanji yelled as he called his Persona. "Taka-Mikuzuchi, Ziyodne!" The persona fired a mighty electrical blast.
"Vaccum Fang!" Kotaro yelled as he mixed his ki energy with his shadow element in a range blast attack!
The two attacks merged together destroying the cannon. Seeing her creation on the brink of destruction Tellu leapt off before it exploded.
As she snapped her fingers various plants started using vines to attack them! Riku and Kotaro took point as they used sword and claw slashes to rip them apart. This gave Tear enough time to use one of her sacred hymns.
"O violent strains that render demons to ashes; Va Neu Va Rei Va Neu Va Zue Rei..." Holding up her staff, an aura of light enveloped Tear's body before activating.
Pillars of light poured down around the area destroying the plants and almost hitting Tellu! Riku added his own attack Dark Aura as he unleashed dark blast from his hand eradicating more plants in the area.
The woman screamed in protest at what was happening to her plants. "No, murders don't you dare hurt them!" Vine stocks released from her hand and tried striking Tear until a Kanji's Persona protected her!
"Eat this," He yelled as Taka-Mikazuchi threw his lightning bolt club straight at Tellu and spiking her in the stomach! She yelled as she coughed out blood along with being pinned down.
Grunting she used her some roots to dig the weapon from her stomach and started healing it. Tellu glared at the group before she conjured an array of leaves and flower pollen in the air! Kotaro tried bumrushing the witch but soon felt his body go numb. "What's going on?" He wondered as he couldn't even move his mouth.
Tear noted what that pollen was doing warned her allies. "Don't breath in the pollen; it's a substance to make our bodies go numb!" Riku grabbed and threw Kotaro over his shoulder and got near Tear, along with Kanji and Homura. The seventh fonist placed a protective barrier around them preventing the pollen from getting through.
Seeing her chance Tellu held up her hands as large stalks emerged from the ground. The stalks caused an earthquake pushing the small field back. Tear tried maintaining it. Riku saw her in distress used his dark field to solidify the barrier and keep it from moving. Kanji used his persona to charge at the stalk and punched it with an electrical coating. The punch caused a dent before various vines slapped the big persona away which caused Kanji pain (being linked to it).
Homura took on the role of healer as a violet glow came from her hand gem and started healing Kanji and Kotaro. Tellu controlled the vine stalks to attack the shield. Riku and Tear tried focusing but it looked like the shield would break at any moment.
After getting healed, Kotaro glared at Tellu. "I have an idea but it's going to need you to drop the shield" He explained it which Kanji looked skeptical along with Homura but Riku and Tear agreed to it.
After another strike a bright flash happened making Tellu cover her eyes. "What happened to them?" She whispered as she saw the five in a group. "There you are!" She controlled more greenery on the ground which erupted in vines and tied them together!
Grinning madly she called forth man-eating plants to swallow them, which they did! As one swallowed Tear, she busted in a puff of smoke and replaced with a log. Gaping at what happened she saw the same thing happening to the others and knew she got tricked!
She suddenly felt someone kick from behind causing her to fall to the ground. Coughing up bile she saw Kotaro on top of her stalk and grinning like the dog he was. His ears perked up as he stuck out his tongue. "Did you like my clone technique?"
She felt like an ass for falling for that simple play as she soon felt purple arrows pierce her shoulder blades courtesy of Homura Akemi! Next she felt a chill coming from the ground as pillars of ice broke through the surface and piercing through her hand and freezing it! Screaming in pain she saw Riku was the perpetrator behind that tactic.
Kanji came next as he punched his Persona card and out came Taka-Mikazuchi as the 8-foot tall giant grabbed her from the ground and tossed her in the air! Screaming she felt the air rush out of her lungs as Tear appeared thrusting out her crystal staff. Light spears pierced her stomach and forced her back to the ground!
Tellu couldn't grasp how they were beating her? Even with her powers she couldn't beat them. Having enough of this she gave a rage filled scream as a dark green hue enveloped her body as vines and tree roots wrapped around her body and fusing with her!
Not wanting her to complete her transformation the group volleyed her with their attacks but it didn't amount to anything as it finished and her appearance changed. Tellu's hair was down and she wore a green one piece suit without any boots and her skin was green. Her eyes glowed green looking down her opposition.
"Die," She whispered as the dead tree branches speared their tree branches toward them very quickly!
As the group was about to go on the defensive a woman's voice cried out and a gravitational force diverted the blow to the ground. "Ion Graverei!" Sherry yelled as Brago used the attack.
The group looked surprised at seeing the powerhouse of Neptune get involved in this battle!
"Hey, it's Sherry and Brago!" Kotaro cried out!
Homura kept a glare at the mammodo boy and his partner. Hell has frozen over if they are helping us.
Tellu looked at them and unleashed wood spears towards them. The branches were about to impale them until Sherry and Brago dodged them with ease with. The coiled blonde's movements had a sort of dance to it as not even her dress got ripped while Brago brought up an arm to block the whiplash strikes.
Throwing out her hands Tellu tried ensnaring the duo.
The vines started wrapping around them before Brago held Sherry's waist and jumped above the attack. Holding her glowing black book Sherry shouted another spell! "Gigano Reis!"
A medium-cannon ball size gravitational orb launched from Brago's hands as it hit Tellu and pushed her back. Flipping her body she used vines to cushion her fall. Eyes glowing green she lifted up her hands as she summoned a giant flytrap!
Kotaro and Kanji gaped at what they saw and were about to head in there but Tear placed her staff in front of them. "They know how to handle themselves. Let them finish this!"
The white-haired teen looked ready to rebuttal the statement but Riku added, "Brago isn't one to stop fighting and would attack us should we get involved."
The dog-demon and persona-user frowned but heeded the Keyblader's warning as the battle continued.
The flytrap roared as it shook the area that would normally scare regular people but Sherry and Brago weren't part of the normal crowed. They have faced different opponents and come out on top, from Zofis, to a battle with the Dark Evangeline that ended with his victory even though the vampire was just "playing' with him.
As Tellu directed the plant to swallow them whole, Brago shouted a command. "Do it now, Sherry!" Understanding, Sherry expertly flipped the pages and activated one of their new spells.
"Zangu Mareisu!" Gathering gravity to his hand the mammodo released a beam to slice the plant to mulch and caused the remains to disintegrate by the excess energy. Tellu gasped in shock before Sherry turned her eyes to her.
"This is the end of you, remnant!" Sherry whispered with a frown.
Turning his demonic eyes to her as well Braga smiled with glee. "You better not stand there long!" The black spell book glowed even brighter which caused some of the sensitive ones to step back.
"Gather around me, this will be a tremendous blast!" Tear exclaimed as she formed a barrier around them.
Lifting the book Sherry yelled one of their strongest spells. "Baber Gravidon!" Brago brought down his hands as a mighty force of gravity slammed on top of Tellu causing her to scream in pain!
Her skin broke down showing parts of her muscles and blood appeared staining the ground. After a scream of rage Sherry finished as the aristocratic teen shut her book with a snap.
"What a pathetic battle, and Beryl brought her back?"
The greenery surrounding the area started reverting to a park albeit with less of the pretty scenery from before the attack.
Brago scoffed as he put his hands in his pockets. "Nothing but trash," He then saw the other vassals and scoffed. "And look who's here?"
"What's that mean?!" Kanji shouted out. "Punk ass, stop acting cool cause you don't impress anyone!"
Tear placed a hand on the angry teens shoulder. "Don't let him discourage you," she gave a nod to the duo. "You're help was well needed!"
Sherry didn't say anything and looked at Homura, who had kept an eye on her.
Kotaro sniffed the area. "This place seems to be losing ground since that plant woman died. Now we have to just take care of those weaker demons out there!"
The blue-eyed Keyblade master agreed with the dog half-breed. "The others are still taking care of the ones on the other ends but it's getting bad! We'll have to support them!"
"Yeah, this will be a long day for us!" Kanji stated before punching his hand. "Time to show these jokers not to mess with us!"
Kotaro agreed with the same enthusiasm as the group started walking off except for Sherry and Brago.
Turning around the black-haired teen turned to them. "You aren't coming?"
"Why would we do that, we came here to stop you from joining the others!" Brago said with a smirk.
Eyes widening Homura shouted a warning. "Everyone scatter!" but it proved useless as Sherry called out Ion Graverei to stop there trek, to the others shock! The only one who got out were Homura (thanks to slowing down time) and Riku (who Homura grabbed since he was closer).
Glaring at them Riku pointed his weapon at them! "Why have you betrayed us?"
Sherry didn't say anything as Brago only laughed. "That's something you don't need to know. Let's just say I would like to see this utopia fall!"
"So…you were biding your time with us?" Kanji grunted under the force of gravity. "You piece of shit; Sailor Neptune should have tossed your asses out on the street!"
Homura knocked an arrow and released. The projectile caused Sherry to hop back from her spot which diverted her attention for the spell to weaken! Kotaro used that moment send his inugumi shadow projectile to destroy the attack.
Riku charged at them and his weapon became a lightsaber as he went to striking for the demon child! Growling and smirking at the same time Brago used his innate power of gravity to enhance his arms and block the teen's strike!
"I knew there was darkness in your heart but at least you had a kind of firm justice in your beliefs!" Riku challenged him, trying to push him back. Sherry saw what happened and cried their first spell Reis.
A small ball formed in Brago's hand and he tossed it to the ground at Riku's feet. The teen flipped away from it. Kanji called his persona to send an electric current at Brago which connected! The mamodo yelled in pain but didn't offer out any screams as his eyes became white.
Pointing her staff to the air Tear used Holy Lance to pierce Brago's body, Kotaro used his shadow extensions to attack him and Homura kept on bombarding him with arrows.
"Why are you doing this?" Tea asked them keeping up the attack. "There is no need to join her side!"
Kanji's opinion differed the fonist's question. "Don't talk to these clowns, they made their choice!"
"Yeah, I don't want to admit but we have to stop them!" Kotaro yelled.
While they were yelling that out Riku felt a sudden presence that didn't escape his detection. Why am I sensing two Sora's?
Sherry maintained her calm and her book shined brightly once again! "DIOGA GRAVIDON!"
Brago gave a roar of rage as he pushed back the attacks and threw out his hands! A gigantic sphere of black with purple, pink and blue light absorbed the attacks and it came charging at them!
Tear tried making a shield but it shattered upon impact! The others couldn't do anything as it came rushing at them! Just before the attack a lean, dark-skinned woman with purple hair in a pony tail appeared!
"SHUNKO!" An electric outline appeared around her body and she punched the attack to air causing it to explode!
Everyone looked surprised at seeing Yoruichi Shihoin, second-in-command of Uranus, save their hides. Landing to the ground Yoruichi smiled like a cat. "Well, I see you kids are having fun at the end of an era!"
Brago growled while Sherry sneered at the woman!
"Big sis Yoruichi!" Kotaro cried excitedly!
The woman glanced at the others and nodded. "Riku, I want you to get to Sora, the time is almost at hand!"
This caused everyone to look at the teen. "So it's about that time," He whispered to himself.
"What are you talking about?" Homura asked. "What time?"
Yoruichi looked firm as she glared at the power duo. "A time that only who are part of the lieutenants knew about or warned." She directed a command to Riku. "Get going, we'll handle it from here!"
Riku looked somewhat conflicted about leaving his allies and friends but remembered the warning issued by Yen Sid before he and Sora entered this universe.
Kanji broke Riku's line of thought. "Yo, if you got something to do than do it, don't mess around!" He clenched his fist. "We'll kick some ass!"
Tear and Homura agreed. "We don't need to know the specifics but we will make sure you go unmolested!" the blue-eyed fonist spoke. "Join Sora, for whatever you are planning on doing."
Kotaro smirked at the stoic silver-haired teen. "You can tell us later what big sis is talking about okay?"
Being assured Riku smiled briefly before calling out to his commanding officer. "I'll get Sora than, take care!"
Riku soon headed to where Sora was. Yoruichi smiled a little. If it really has gotten to that point then darkness will bring an end to this place, I better make sure there are still some of us left to fight what will happen in the aftermath! "Okay Sherry and Brago, you'll have to deal with me!"
Brago scoffed."Feh, let's see if you can continue avoiding my attacks!"
Yoruichi and the others took a stance to fend of the gravitational duo. "I wonder what Riku has to do?" Kotaro whispered to Homura.
The former time traveler only offered out a thesis. "Something of importance if ones like Yoruichi, Maria and the others had to keep from us," She narrowed her eyes. "But now we worry about them!"
Tear twirled her crystal staff prepping an attack. "We must tread with caution; even some of our past enemies have tried avoiding them!"
"Not to worry, this will be over soon!" The purple haired woman stated with a smirk. "Now let's go!"
Sherry brushed her hair behind her ear and whispered to Brago. "Make it look real Brago,"
A scoffed escaped his lips. "Please, I wasn't planning on going easy on either of them! Direct all attacks to Yoruichi first!" With that the battle began.
So sorry for the long wait. Given that this has been slow, I've decided to break this out by parts (along with get an update out). Sorry, I'll get on my game with finishing up this arc.
My first "short" chapter for once, sorry, I unsurely am typing up something but with another story that I've typed up (The Spear that guards the Priestess) it's taken up my time. I'll work on the next chapter of this while working on that.
Please expect two more battles, the closing of past fights and the Black Beast emerging! And what do I have in store for Sora and Riku?
Find out next time.
And again, sorry for the delay with this!
