Last time on Sailor Spirits…
Our heroines have found a familiar aura that led to the survival of six other Tamashii, their teachers and mentors. The six showed off how powerful they still are, helping the seven against Dokuro and his clones. However, it wasn't long before Dokuro got the drop on the mentors who went in to investigate Akajyu activity alone. The next thing the seven heroes knew, Dokuro had taken control over the mentors and forced them to fight them.
The fight had been escalating with the Tamashii on the ropes, each of them avoiding punches from their mentors while hesitating to fight back. All H-Mako could do was block Kashi's fire punches as the heat grew, slowly becoming too intense even for her.
"Jiji, it's me! Snap out of it!" H-Mako shouted, Kashi actually jumping in the air while reeling his fire powered fist back before unleashing a hammer fist right at H-Mako, knocking her down in the process.
"Hyouno! Mako!" Emi gasped, flying over to try and attack Kashi, only to be greeted with a hard punch to her cheek by Erio, sending her crashing into a tree.
"Did you really think that the Tamashii would be the only ones you would be fighting?" Dokuro scoffed with a chuckle, Erio cracking her neck as she levitated.
Emi got back up, panting before yelling and flying straight towards Erio, their fight going like it did last time with them evenly matched. Emi even blasted short beams from her eyes, but Erio slapped them away with her hand without any issue.
Over with M-Torrie, Suizame was jumping from the ground like it was water left and right while clawing and biting at her, making her panic and try to block, but it wasn't working. With T-Lisa, Kayabusa kept zipping via lightning bolts and hitting her with every passing through despite T-Lisa struggling to fight back and eventually getting knocked down. D-Holly struggled against Daigoro, who kept sending huge boulders her way while she turned her arms metal to shatter them into pebbles, leaving herself wide open for Daigoro to run at her for a headbutt that sent her in the air before slamming her back on the ground and pummeling her with his fists. K-Karin was in the midst of flying to avoid Funaria's gusts using her own winds, but it proved to be ineffective as Funaria sent a tornado her way to throw her off before the Canary Tamashii dove in the center for a kick to K-Karin's stomach. Over to Y-Saki, she was skiing across the ground to avoid icicles thrown by Kumakori before he grabbed her on his shoulders and jumped up before turning upside down and ramming her into the ground.
Dokuro just stood nearby laughing at how his plan was going swimmingly, grinning as all seven got knocked back down to the ground together, the mentors and Erio about ready to finish them off.
"This… this is insane…" Y-Saki panted.
"I can't fight Onee-chan…" K-Karin grunted in pain.
"Tsu-Tsuyosugiru (Th-They're too strong)..." M-Torrie added with a bit of a whimper.
"We have to retreat!" D-Holly added.
"No… our masters… we can't leave them like this!" H-Mako grunted, trying to get back up.
'Hyouno, if we stay any longer, they will kill us! Retreat is our only option here!' Mako panicked, 'I know you want to save them, but there's nothing we can do right now!'
H-Mako growled as she got back up to her feet, her growls turning into a roar before a dome of fire engulfed the heroes and surrounded them, forcing the mind controlled teachers and Erio to back up and shield their eyes. Next thing they knew, the fire dome went down and the seven were gone.
"Hmph! We'll get them soon enough," Dokuro shrugged before he raised his hand, "Everyone retreat for now."
The controlled mentors just nodded as they left with Erio and Dokuro.
(Insert Song: Yume No Ukiyo Ni Saitemina by Momoiro Clover Z featuring KISS)
*As the instrumental started, it started with the six girls meeting each other on their way to school, Emi soon joining them with a smile*
Sailor Spirits
Saa, sa minasan kitte. Yoni mo ahou na higeki. Datte, ningen da mono. Datte, ikite iru nda mon. (Come come, everyone listen up. All foolish tragedies in the world. I mean, that's because we're humans. I mean, that's what being alive is about.)
*We first see Mako in the midst of reading as Hyouno popped up from behind, surprising her as her papers were sent flying. We also see Torrie laughing at Mako's response along with Mizuka while Emi offered to help pick up the papers. Lisa was helping out Nancy as Takanari snuck a peek under her dress*
Ho, ho, hotaru koi! A, a, acchi muite hoi! Yosomi shiteru uchi ni, shiawase ttara nigete yuku! (Fi-fi-fireflies come! Fa-fa-face there-hoi! While you're looking away, happiness is escaping from you!)
*Karin and Kazeru were getting into a childish argument with Karin being the responsible one, Saki and Yukikami shaking their heads and chuckling at the argument in response while Holly and Donsai were simply helping to care for the former's cat and rabbit. We see the Tamashii in their physical forms all united and standing across from the Akajyu, Kairaki, Dokuro, and Yamikari who glared back with their own evil grins while the Tamashii powers began to grow*
Iro no nai (Paint it!) kono sekai (Change it!) nurikaero do (Rearrange it!) hade ni! (This colorless (Paint it!) world (Change it!), let's repaint it (Rearrange it!) in flashy colors!)
*We then see the girls in their possessed heroine forms come charging in, H-Mako twirling with fire around her, M-Torrie surfing on water, and T-Lisa running around to with blurs of lightning behind her*
Kenran gouka (Be it!) dare datte (See it!) issho yumemi (Just believe it!) hito sa! (Luxurious (Be it!), gorgeous (See it!) Everyone's a dreamer (Just Believe it!) all their lives!)
*D-Holly then slammed on the ground while K-Karin flew across the wind to create tornadoes and Y-Saki skating across the ice*
Sono jinsei wo~ (Live it! Give it!) irodoru no (You can win it!) wa ai to~! (What's coloring your life~ (Live it! Give it!) is love (You can win it!) and dreams~!)
*Emi then flew at high speeds, teleporting instantly between locations before powering up with a white aura as an image in the aura of herself with a white cape appeared*
Yume dake nanda (Paint it!) kimi to iu (Change it!) nishiki no (Rearrange it!) hana sakasemashou~! (You're a colorful blossom (Paint it!), so bloom (Change it!) A picture scroll (Rearrange it!) of this transient world~!)
*The girls the roared as they their own elemental auras surrounded them and all their Seals were unlocked before they ran out and attacked the Akajyu*
Ukiyo emaki~ kono sora no warera hitokakera~. (We are just one~ fragment of this universe~.)
*As the instrumental ends, we see the girls walking away from the battle calmly and all embracing each other as the title appeared above them*
Class 26: Student vs Master Part 2
At Hoshi Shoujo, the girls were panting and trying to recover from the battle as they had bandages around their thighs, elbows, and even some on their faces.
"So that's what happened with the mentors?" Nancy asked in surprise about the news from her sister while helping apply the bandages.
"Unfortunately, ye-, itai. Easy, Nancy," Lisa winced a bit.
"I can't believe that bastard captured our teachers, the only other Tamashii alive, and made them his slaves!" Hyouno growled while she paced in the air.
"At the very least, we managed to survive and escape," Mako sighed, still helping Emi and healing her wounds a bit.
"What we're going to do with them, I do not know," Karin added, simply holding her arm and sitting to relax.
"I don't like what they did to Onee-chan! As soon as we're healed, I'm gonna give that poison badie what for!" Kazeru snapped, about to rush out.
"Hold! Do not be so hasty!" Donsai responded, sleeve on Kazeru's shoulder to stop her.
"If we see them again, there's no chance of avoiding a fight," Holly pointed out.
"That's exactly what I'm afraid of…" Yukikami replied, "These are our mentors, we know they're under control and yet Dokuro says the only way to stop them is to end their lives."
"That ain't gonna happen, she-wolf," Hyouno retorted, about to slam her sleeve against a wall.
"Then how are we gonna free them? Huh?" Saki pointed out, leaving Hyouno at a bit of a loss for words.
"...I don't know…"
"For now, let's get some sleep. We'll think about it tomorrow," Mako suggested as everyone nodded before walking upstairs.
"Excellent, Dokuro. Excellent job," Yamikari smiled while clapping his hands.
"You are too kind, Yamikari-sama. I managed to gain control over the those who taught the Tenchi no Tamashii and now the odds are in our favor," Dokuro grinned as he presented him with the controlled mentors.
"The Tamashii won't have the fortitude to end the lives of those who taught them everything they know," Kyofukashi smirked as he sharpened his sickle.
"Don't get too confident, Dokuro-sama. It can easily lead to your downfall," Kairaki warned, "With Erio on the side of the mentors, she can be a great asset to them."
"I will not let you down, Kairaki-sama," Erio assured as Kairaki revealed a glowing light in her palms, and from them appeared two gold wrist gauntlet devices.
"These devices come with doses of my power that you can inject into your veins to increase your power and speed against the Tamashii… including Emi."
Kairaki smiled as she grabbed Kyofukashi's sickle and used it to quickly slice off the sports tape on Erio's wrists, causing them to fall off and leave only the fingerless sports tape on her hands. She then placed the wrist bracers on her, which soon tightened up via needles injecting into her veins.
"Now you just press both buttons and you'll be stronger than anyone who stands in your way," Kairaki instructed as Erio did just that, pressing both of them once.
Once that was done, the glow started to reach across her veins, making her grunt in pain at first before she growled as Kairaki smiled along with her fellow generals.
The next morning, Mako and Emi were taking an English language class together, taking careful notes on the words.
"Faaii… to… Nai… su? Eh… ano… Pun-chi?" Emi muttered, trying to read English but not getting it right.
"Here, Emi. Let me help," Mako offered as she pointed to the text and read, "Fight. Nice. Punch. Kick."
"...Thank… you…" Emi smiled, trying to speak English as Mako simply smiled and nodded in response.
'Oh shoot! Mako, it's them!' Hyouno gasped in response, Mako widening her eyes.
'Now!? But class isn't over yet!' Mako gawked mentally as she was soon possessed by Hyouno.
"Excuse me, Sensei… may me and Emi be excused please?" H-Mako requested, the teacher turning to them before looking at the clock.
"...It's close to the end, so yes. You may leave, just be sure to make note of the homework for tonight," the teacher informed.
"Will do."
H-Mako and Emi wrote it down before getting up and running out of the classroom.
The seven girls were now out of the campus and rushing to find the source of their mentors' auras, looking around frantically.
"Any plans on what to do to free them from control?" Y-Saki inquired of the others.
"Nothing. All that's on my mind is fighting them… because they're mind controlled, they aren't holding back. I suggest we don't either," H-Mako pointed out.
"We're not gonna… kill them, are we?" K-Karin asked.
"Absolutely not. But if we have any hope of staying alive, our only chance is to-"
"FIGHT THEM!" they heard a voice shout as suddenly they saw Erio leap in the air with her fist reeled back before diving down.
Emi disappeared and transformed into her heroine suit before reappearing in front of the girls and throwing her right fist forward, hitting Erio's fist with a shockwave occurring. The mentors soon appeared with Erio, causing all seven girls to back up in response before they both stood across from each other.
"Well well, I see it's a fair fight now," Erio chuckled.
"And I see you've got a couple new, lovely toys," Y-Saki noted.
"Been kissing Kairaki's ass to reap the benefits?" H-Mako checked with a chuckle.
"You dare mock me? This is a gift bestowed on me! It will infuse me with Kairaki-sama's power, enough to defeat you and Emi. Let me show you," Erio started as she slapped the buttons on her wrists.
Her veins started to glow while she grunted and growled, feeling the power course through her body as she then roared. Emi looked with surprise as the six Tamashii posed.
"Tamashii Henge!" the six declared and transformed as both sides stood ready and stared each other down.
Both sides charged at each other, scattering as each Tamashii took on their respective mentors and Emi was fighting Erio. The Tamashii began to struggle against their mentors while there were colliding shock waves above them to signify Emi and Erio's fighting.
"Girls! Let's split up and take them one at a time!" H-Mako ordered, the others nodding as they rushed around the area and even jumped high in the air, the other Tamashii following them as they split up.
This left Emi and Erio to continue their fight, the two zipping across the field and rapidly trying to punch each other.
"The light has made me faster and stronger!" Erio shouted as she started to throw punches stronger than Emi felt before, making her crash through some trees with a snap each.
Emi groaned a bit while getting back up on her hands and knees, Erio roaring as she zoomed for another attack, but Emi looked up and shot thin yellow lasers out her eyes, hitting her right in the chest to knock her out of the air. She did put her hands up to block them, sparks flying outward before Emi stopped with the lasers and jumped forward to throw a dropkick, knocking Erio for a loop and sending her back.
"More… I need more!" Erio growled, slapping both buttons again as her veins glowed brighter, but soon she started hearing the ringing in her ears and gripped her head in pain.
Before she could do anything else, she roared in pain, firing three bright yellow lasers (two from her eyes and one out her mouth) at Emi, which combined into one big laser and hit her on impact, knocking most trees down along with her before Emi could react and move out of the way. The glow died down as Erio growled at Emi, who looked shocked at what just happened and struggled to get back up. They both glared at each other before rushing and colliding once again, practically destroying the forest around them.
Over with H-Mako, she had managed to find her way to a steel mill, inside where the heat was at its peak near a lava pool of sorts, Kashi landing with a thud nearby and walking towards his student with menace in his eyes.
"Everybody get the hell out of here!" one worker shouted in a panic as the others acknowledged and evacuated as H-Mako held her hands up.
"Jiji… I don't want to fight you. I know you can hear me in there," H-Mako retorted to her mentor, but Kashi said nothing in response.
'He's not listening. And I can't hear anything in his head either,' Mako added as H-Mako got herself ready.
Kashi then let out a lion's roar that sounded throughout the mill before they ran towards each other, blocking and trading fire enhanced punches and kicks, the heat in the mill making them stronger as they attacked faster, Kashi throwing more hits on H-Mako with sparks of fire flying off with every impact before finishing his combo with a knee to her face. This knocked her down to a lower level, Kashi jumping down before picking up H-Mako and hitting and slamming her into metal walls like a bouncy ball before tossing her to the floor.
"Ow…" H-Mako winced, 'He's still as powerful as when he was teaching me… even when under Dokuro's poison.'
'Got any ideas before he turns us both to ashes?' Mako asked as H-Mako had to think quick.
Suddenly, with another lion's roar, Kashi's mane ignited itself on fire, H-Mako gulping as he pointed his index fingers like guns, the tips lighting up as she panted.
"Ooki Higan (Big Fire Gun)!" H-Mako shouted, shooting bigger balls of fire out her fingers at a rapid pace, the blasts nicking Kashi, but it didn't stop him from running and grabbing H-Mako's face, slamming it against another metal wall.
He was then tightening his grip like he was trying to crush H-Mako's skull before her fist engulfed in more fire.
"Hiken!" H-Mako shouted, throwing the uppercut right under Kashi's chin, making him stumble back dazed and leaving himself open.
H-Mako sped up, punching and kicking her mentor rapidly to try and snap him out of control.
"Jiji, I swear I will free you from this poison! I will not stop until you are down!" H-Mako roared before Kashi roared again, his mane's flames growing wilder before he breathed fire out his mouth, sending her flying back up to the highest level.
H-Mako struggled back to her feet, the extreme heat proving too much even for her as Kashi jumped up to the platform before grabbing a metal rod and heating the tip up with just a touch. The top of the rod burned bright orange before Kashi slammed the rod onto H-Mako, making both Tamashii and host scream in pain.
'Wh-Why… Why aren't you absorbing the heat!?' Mako asked in pain, screaming with her Tamashii as she kept getting hit.
"I-It's too much! I can only absorb so much heat before it proves too much! Agh!" H-Mako grunted.
'Can't you unlock your Seal!?'
H-Mako grunted, looking back at her between her hand and mentor with hesitance. However, Kashi's claws burned bright orange before he plunged them deep into H-Mako's back, making her scream so loudly that it echoed throughout the mill even to the point that it can even be heard from outside. Kashi then grabbed H-Mako by the hair before slamming her face first multiple times, making blood drip down said face as she was losing more and more strength the more Kashi beat her down. H-Mako grunted and panted as blood dripped through the metal grates before Kashi grabbed her by the collar and dragged her to the edge and of the platform before tossing her into the molten plasma below, making said plasma splash up a bit as H-Mako's body seemed to vanish.
At the same time, M-Torrie and Suizame dove in the ocean, swimming at each other while trading attacks with each pass through under the water as the pressure rose and they descended deeper into open waters. M-Torrie sent out water pulses to try and push Suizame back, but the Shark Tamashii started shooting out water sharks from his mouth. M-Torrie almost got flung for a loop when she got hit by multiple of them before Suizame started biting on her belly, making M-Torrie scream in pain with bubbles floating up and blood streaming up.
'Get him off, get him off!' Torrie panicked as M-Torrie struggled to push him off.
'I'm trying!' Mizuka shouted, trying to pry her mentor off before surrounding her hand in bubbles and chopping at Suizame's nose, making him back up a bit.
M-Torrie then threw more punches at him before the shark grabbed her and dove down into the black depths, the girl struggling to get loose.
"It's getting a little tight…" M-Torrie grunted, slowly feeling the pressure caving in around her body.
Suizame then spun around faster and faster until tossing M-Torrie towards a rock wall, sending immense pain down her spine as well as making stones fall down. With what little light was shining down into the depths, one could vaguely make out Suizame continuing to wail down on M-Torrie before swimming up above. Once he reached a specific point, Suizame dove right down and threw both his fists forward, the water surrounding his arms forming a giant shark head before he collided with M-Torrie and sent her crashing down to the dark ocean floor.
Over with T-Lisa, she was running at lightspeed across Japan alongside Kayabusa, who was keeping chase with her while they were running through traffic and past cars. Unbeknownst to T-Lisa, Kayabusa ran atop a tanker truck and jumped off before landing right next to the Lightning Spirit and punching her right next to a car. T-Lisa hit and broke the car windshield before getting right back up and tossing her mentor into a couple other cars from the side, following up with some punches. Kayabusa pushed her into another car before throwing some lightning enhanced punches of her own before the exchanges of blows repeated several times over, damaging the cars around them. They continued running past everything until Kayabusa knocked T-Lisa down, sending her tumbling into an electrical facility, crashing through a fence.
'She's fast… if she keeps going at this pace, we won't be so lucky,' Lisa panted as T-Lisa tried to get back up.
"I know… I got to find a way to weaken her and free her from the poison's control," T-Lisa grunted, getting to her feet before zipping back to try and punch Kayabusa.
She managed to get a few good hits off her, but Kayabusa's experience and greater speed allowed her to stop T-Lisa's momentum with a kick to the gut before disappearing via lightning bolt throughout the poles and wires surrounding them. T-Lisa gripped her stomach while looking around, the lightning transferring from tower to tower before Kayabusa bolted out with a punch to her face, T-Lisa struggling to stay still before her mentor grabbed her and traveled through the tower and wires with her.
Inside said wires, T-Lisa and Kayabusa were grappling each other while speeding past bolts of lightning going at mach speeds, the two punching and kicking each other to gain the upper hand, but Kayabusa had the advantage until T-Lisa was punched out of the wires, tumbling on the ground while her mentor jumped out. T-Lisa backed up while struggling to get to her feet, Kayabusa pushing her into an electrical box. She then placed her fingertips on T-Lisa's chest, measuring just one inch away before her hand sparked with electricity and she punched really hard, actually damaging the box behind T-Lisa to electrocute her. She screamed in pain as she convulsed with the electricity shocking every part of her body before she fell down unconscious.
With D-Holly, she had managed to run out into a wasteland area with a rocky hill and some greenery. It wasn't long before Daigori roared while running on his knuckles and feet, stones jumping up before he punched them towards D-Holly who stopped them with her palms rather easily. However, Daigori stomped on the ground, causing the rocks to shatter first before surrounding D-Holly and then they all converged around her.
"The stones move with more flexibility under Daigori-dono's control," D-Holly recalled, "He can reshape them into whatever he wants, including these binds."
'Can't you do that too?!' Holly asked in a panic.
"I haven't quite mastered that technique yet…"
Despite that, D-Holly still used her raw strength to break free, turning the binds into pebbles before she and Daigori traded fists, attacking back and forth as the stones flew up with every single one of their collisions, Daigori roaring at her before clapping his hands, sending out a thunderous shockwave that sends her flying back. D-Holly struggled to reorient herself as the claps sent her into a stone wall, cracks beginning to show as Daigori roared again before slamming his fists on the ground. Suddenly, D-Holly lost her footing as the slamming fists created a rock slide over her and huge boulders to fall.
D-Holly gasped before grasping her hands together to create a stone dome around her that was soon encased in metal, causing the rocks to shatter on impact.
"That was too close," D-Holly sighed before she saw Daigori's fingers break through the dome, making her gasp as her mentor broke through and grabbed her by the neck.
He growled as he pulled her out before slamming her on the ground multiple times, plunging her into the ground and tossing her into the stone wall again, a giant boulder crumbling off and D-Holly struggling to even stand back up until the rock slide started and started to cave her in.
With K-Karin, she zoomed in the air, trying to avoid Funaria's gusts of wind until they landed on a hilltop a distance from the mountains.
"Onee-chan, wake up! You can't let them control you like this!" K-Karin shouted, running and grabbing her mentor while shaking her, but it was to no avail as she was pushed back.
'You have to take action, Kazeru! We can't stop her if you hesitate,' Karin snapped as K-Karin looked really nervous, not wanting to harm her sister figure while Funaria started flying towards her.
"Eep!"
K-Karin dodged the incoming canary as she frantically got back up and threw more gusts of winds at her, but Funaria quickly managed to direct them all away while walking towards the Kaze no Tamashii. She threw some punches and kicks that began to overwhelm K-Karin, but the Wind Spirit kept pushing forward and grabbing Funaria's fist.
"Onee-chan is never this mean… Dokuro made her mean! I will save you, Onee-chan!" K-Karin screamed, blasting at her mentor a bit before throwing some punches of her own, managing to knock her around a bit before Funaria let out a scream, blowing a strong wind storm to push K-Karin back.
K-Karin struggled against the wind and got down on her hands and feet, gripping the ground firmly to the ground as hard as she could before Funaria flapped her wings, sending K-Karin into a tornado and making her fly never endingly before Funaria jumped over the tornado, dove into the eye and landed a kick right in her gut, making K-Karin reel and grunt, the winds exploding outward as the Wind Spirit crashed down into the forest below.
Over with Y-Saki, she found herself on a mountaintop where Kumakori roared and charged at her. He broke through some trees, snapping them down with his paws as Y-Saki crossed her arms to form ice pitchforks.
"Partisan!" Y-Saki shouted as the pitchforks launched at Kumakori, who shattered them with just his forearm.
'...Well, that didn't work,' Saki sighed as the mentor leaped over and grabbed her neck before slamming her to the ground.
He lifted her up by her waist before taking the Spirit of Ice and giving her a massive Power Bomb, making the dirt kick up before he grabbed her legs and then flipped her over in a suplex-like move to make her hit chest first. Y-Saki cried out as Kumakori froze the moisture in the air to form a giant ice block that he grabbed before reeling it up to slam Y-Saki, but she did manage to roll out of the way before the block hit her and she got back up.
"That was too close. Sensei always fought with great power, there was no subtlety with him," Y-Saki panted as she got herself ready by freezing the air in her palm to form a blade of ice, "Ice Saber!"
Kumakori growled before snowy streams began surrounding the nails on his paws as they grew into long icicle-like claws.
'Uh… I… what? How is that even possible?! Can you do that?' Saki asked, dumbfounded.
"I don't think even I can do that yet," Y-Saki answered, equally surprised as Kumakori ran at them, "Oh my!"
The polar bear roared as he charged and slashed at Y-Saki, who blocked and tried to attack back with her saber. As her mentor slashed at her blade, Y-Saki noticed cracks beginning to form in her weapon before going straight for slashing at Kumakori's chest, only scratching a bit of the parka coat. The mentor just snarled at her before continuing to wail on her, Y-Saki desperately trying to block his claws before his saber shattered, allowing Kumatori to impale her in the chest with one of his claws, making her cough up blood and gasp in pain as she was lifted in the air with blood dripping on the tip of the icicle.
'This, just… the worst… pain!' Saki grunted as Y-Saki tried to get herself off.
The bear smirked before lifting Y-Saki up above her head and then thrusting his claw again, making Y-Saki grunt and yell with every time he moved, blood splashing out her back and chest and dripping out her mouth, making her writhe in pain before he stopped, Y-Saki's body going limp. Kumakori then threw his paw back, tossing Y-Saki off with the icicle still embedded into her chest as she fell to the ground, motionless.
In a black limbo, Mako was seen floating down like a feather on the breeze, unconscious as we soon see the rest of the girls floating unconsciously as well, all six of them barefoot before they gently touched down on the ground, making it ripple like water. Mako groaned before opening her eyes slowly, slowly getting up to her feet.
"What happened? Where am I?" she muttered before seeing her friends, "Min'na, what's going on? Are you ok?"
"Mmm~, I… I dunno…" Torrie admitted, "...Why don't I have anything on my feet?"
"Weren't we dying?" Lisa inquired as she stood back up.
"I guess we can thank our Tamashii for keeping both our souls as well as theirs safe… this must be what represents our link between each other, not just the human and Tamashii… but all of us" Karin figured as the six looked around the void before seeing their Tamashii lying unconscious as well, "There they are."
"Min'na!" Holly gasped as they ran over to them.
Aside from Hyouno, Donsai, Kazeru, and Yukikami, there was a female anthropomorphic hawk with yellow feathers, an orange beak, and was wearing thin yellow garments with black lightning bolts on it. The last amongst them was a pink female anthropomorphic dolphin wearing a light blue toga over her body that had darker blue wave patterns all over.
"Is everybody alright?" Saki checked.
"*grunt* Not doing too good. Good thing we managed retreat into our bodies," Hyouno groaned as she struggled to get up, "When a Tamashii bonds with the host long enough, as long as our connection is strong, we can save both of our souls in a near-death or just death experience."
"I'd say that's a nifty way to cheat death."
"So how about we unlock the Seals and gain an advantage on them?" Torrie suggested, the Tamashii looking at each other with concern and nervousness.
"Hyouno, you hesitated when I suggested unlocking your Seal. Why?" Mako inquired, Hyouno not facing her host so she can't see her nervous expression.
"Yeah, why didn't you girls do that? That could've easily ended the fight there, and yet you couldn't think of putting the hand up," Saki added.
"How can I even look at you? I said that we would free our masters from their poison prisons… I said that we wouldn't kill them… yet I couldn't bring myself to do that," Hyouno sighed, on her hands and knees while facing the floor with her back turned, refusing to let anyone look at her tear-filled face.
"Two reasons… First, the amount of time we will spend against them will be too much on you all; while we can hold them, the stress and energy we push out could kill your souls. Second, if we unlock our Seals against our masters… we are not holding back," Yukikami explained.
"Even if we overcome our fears and insecurities of using them, there's very little chance of us controlling ourselves, and instead of freeing them, we'd risk killing our mentors outright," Takanari added.
"That's bullcrap! We all trust you guys to unlock the Seals and we make it out okay every time!" Saki snapped back.
"Yeah! And despite what we went through, you still managed to save many lives and keep that crazy power you all have in control!" Torrie added.
"Remember when I helped you control the Earth Seal, Donsai? During that fight with Mako, Hyouno, and Emi-chan, they entered our minds and helped us… we all managed to get out of there safely and you are no longer the wild animal you thought you were," Holly reminded.
"...You're right, Holly-dono. It was a harrowing experience, but… we did pull through," Donsai admitted.
"And I helped you control it too, Kazeru. Remember what the visions of your brother revealed?" Karin recalled as Kazeru looked up and smiled.
"Those were sweet memories… and I did control my winds with help from you and the memories," Kazeru replied in remembrance.
"And Torrie-chan, I remember how your strong will and positive spirit helped me overcome my fears of using it…" Mizuka smiled, Torrie smiling while giving the peace sign.
Everyone smiled in response, Hyouno slowly turning and looking at her host, looking a bit unsure at first before the black void changed as bubbles of light appeared around them and their environment suddenly changed. They each saw the various child versions of the Tamashii, mainly Hyouno, Yukikami, Mizuka, and Donsai at first.
'You're from the fire tribe, right? I hear that you guys are like mad all the time,' the young Yukikami shrugged off.
'Don't believe anything they say! Those are false,' the young Hyouno responded, Yukikami ruffling her fur, 'Stop that, I'm gonna get mad!'
'*gasps* It's true!'
"Aw, you girls were so cute!" Lisa giggled, the older Tamashii just blushing in response while looking away.
'Aren't the ice tribe Tamashii always mean?' Mizuka countered with an almost whiny tone.
'Those rumors are greatly exaggerated,' Yukikami assured as Donsai looked shyly at them.
'You're among the Earth tribe, right? Stick with me and we'll be alright,' Hyouno replied with a smirk.
'Hai,' Donsai nodded.
'Okay, enough playing around. Time to kneel,' they heard a voice respond before the younger Tamashii looked to see Kashi stepping towards them, the young Hyouno gasping before kneeling along with the other three.
Soon stepped out Daigori jumping off a tree followed by Suizame and Kumagori, the three mentors joining Kashi as they sat down and looked at their students.
'From this moment forward, you four young ones will begin training to become excellent fighters and warriors. When you grow, you will become the finest warriors in Darara, the Tenchi no Tamashii, just like how me and my brothers were,' Kashi informed, 'But until that day, you are all like hatchlings. In that your learning is beginning and it will only be a matter of time until you grow.'
'Hai, Sensei,' the four nodded and bowed.
The scene changed with the rapid rising and setting of the sun before it stopped to show the four younger Tamashii training as Funaria and Kayabusa walked over with a younger Kazeru and Takanari, the latter trying to vibrate to channel lightning as she was a bit anxious before she gasped for air and fell on her backside.
'You're thinking too hard about it, Takanari. You have to be able to breathe in order to properly channel your electrical energy. If you only focus on what you can exert, you won't have enough power in the charge,' Kayabusa instructed the younger Takanari, who looked up at her master in response.
'How are things going with the child?' Kashi asked as he walked next to Funaria, who just showed Kazeru flapping her wings to control the wind as Byumingo walked over to see.
'She's a little slower to learn, but give her time. She'll be great among the rest,' Funaria assured as Kashi smiled.
Another passage of time sped up around the girls, showing the past Tamashii had grown up rather quickly, and it stopped with the majority of them being in their teens, apart from Kazeru who looked to be at least nine years old.
'It has come to this. You six have been through many tough trials, but you have made to this very moment,' Kashi started as the six young Tamashii stood with pride.
'We now accept you as the new Tenchi no Tamashii. You have certainly earned the title with flying colors,' Daigori smiled.
'Through self-control, integrity, and perseverance, you have managed to grow into such fine young warriors worthy of the title 'Tenchi no Tamashii',' Funaria added.
"You see that? They see you as cool fighters and accepted you already!" Saki pointed out.
"They taught you control in the first place. What's stopping you from proving you can save them without harming them?" Mako added.
"Yeah… what is stopping us? What's the point of saving them if we're not gonna give it our best!?" Hyouno responded, full of vigor as she stood up proudly as a fiery aura ignited around her and Mako, the same elemental auras surrounding the others.
"That's what I'm talking about!" Saki added, "Now it's time to get out of death and kick some ass!"
"Indeed. We cannot let our mentors down!" Yukikami added, gaining an icy blue aura as did Saki before they joined hands.
"Your sister figure is waiting for you, Kazeru. You wanna save her, don't you?" Karin added.
"Yea! Hang tight, Onee-chan!" Kazeru shouted, a tornado of an aura surrounding the both of them.
"I can't let Daigori-dono fall to this poison! He must be saved!" Donsai shouted, a rock and metallic aura showing up around her and Holly as they held hands.
"In honor of your master… Shakiin~!" Torrie shouted, posing.
"Yea… I'm comin' Sensei! SHAKIIN~!" Mizuka added, a watery aura appearing around the two.
"Jiji… we'll do whatever it takes to save you all. I swear it!" Hyouno shouted, the fiery aura around her and Mako growing stronger as they joined hands, the aura becoming stronger.
"Let's do it then…" Mako smirked.
"Genjin… KAI! (Elemental Seals… OPEN!)" the six Tamashii shouted all twelve of them holding hands as their auras glowed and grew stronger.
In the steel mill, Kashi scoffed as he walked off, away from the molten steel before a loud splash was heard, making him stop as he then heard a thud behind him. He turned around to see H-Mako in her Fire Seal Released Form, the magma dripping off her as she growled, ready to fight once more. The poison-controlled mentor prepared his burning claws again, H-Mako rushing on all fours towards him before surrounding her hands in blue fire and going 'claw to claw' with her mentor. The two seemed evenly matched, but the intensity of H-Mako's blue fire seemed to be overwhelming to Kashi, the Fire Spirit grabbing him by the waist and jumping out of the steel mill through a corner of the roof, leaving only a hole where they leaped out from before Kashi was slammed into the ground and was then tossed onto the street.
"Jiji… even if I have to knock you out cold, I will save you!" H-Mako shouted, roaring as the fiery blue aura grew stronger around her, Kashi looking legitimately surprised.
'The Seal… this power you're exerting… it doesn't seem to weaken me,' Mako realized, 'In fact, I feel… energized.'
"...I don't know how it's possible, but it's all the more advantage for us."
Kashi growled before roaring, igniting his mane in flames again before hovering a bit and sliding towards H-Mako, who growled and ran on all fours before they clashed. The two punched and kicked rapidly, the attacks blocking each other as fire sparked off them multiple times as the speeds increased. Then they suddenly stopped with a big explosion of fire as the two stood firmly, the blast seemingly affecting no one.
Back underwater, Suizame swam away before hearing streams of bubbles shoot up as suddenly, M-Torrie tackled him out of the water and they both crashed on some rocks near the ocean. M-Torrie quickly recovered showing off her fluent movements as well as streams of water flowed around her.
"Do you see, Sensei? I will use all that you've taught me to save you," M-Torrie declared, "ShaKIIIINN~!"
With that last shout, M-Torrie blasted over and the two Water Spirits began to trade blows with M-Torrie screaming like Bruce Lee for some motions, her attacks starting to blur with the water splashing in droplets around them.
"WooaaaAAAAH! ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!" M-Torrie screamed as she unleashed a rapid flurry of punches and chops with streams of water enhancing her attacks before reeling both her hands back, "WATCHAA!"
Suizame was then launched away from the shore with M-Torrie following with a little boost from the water.
Back with Kayabusa, she noticed the lights starting to flicker around as well as fuse boxes beginning to short out before seeing T-Lisa slowly get up and grin before shooting out a massive blast of lightning energy right at Kayabusa's chest, launching her out of the electrical facility.
'This energy is actually making me more energized than weak… how is that possible?' Lisa gawked as T-Lisa sped out at her mentor, somehow going faster and faster before Kayabusa managed to slide on her feet and both their speed managed to slow down their perception of time.
"...I think it's because of our connection… we managed to enhance the usage of the Elemental Seal without worry of harming your soul!" T-Lisa assured as she charged up with more and more electricity.
As time seemed to slow to a crawl around them, T-Lisa and Kayabusa continued to trade blows with their shockwaves causing debris to float up around them, their speeds increasing ever faster as time around them stopped. T-Lisa managed to gain the advantage though with several lightning induced punches and kicks, making even Kayabusa slow down to a crawl as T-Lisa sped up rapidly and threw more rapid punches at her on the ground before time went back to normal, Kayabusa reeling back from all the hits and even being launched in the air.
With Daigori, he saw the rocks shaking before they shattered with D-Holly in her Earth Seal Release Form, running on her knuckles and feet like a gorilla before roaring and grabbing Daigori by the waist. They crashed through several trees, sending splinters everywhere until Daigori stopped her momentum by putting his feet down and they both started to grapple with each other.
'Wow… such power… and I'm not getting weaker… sugoi!' Holly gawked as D-Holly continued to push against Daigori before encasing her arms in metal and pounding her fists into his belly.
"Such is the power of our bonds. And we will show Daigori-dono how powerful it is!" D-Holly responded with a roar as she gave Daigori another hard kick to his belly, sending him tumbling towards a city area.
The citizens there fled in a panic as Daigori beat his chest while roaring, D-Holly doing the same before they rushed in and clashed some more.
Over with Funaria, she felt the winds kick up faster and faster until a burst shot right up into the air as K-Karin floated on the gusts of wind.
"Onee-chan… this poison from you… I will save you and render it DELETED! DELETE! DELETE! DELETE! DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!" K-Karin shouted while waving her arm wildly, actually blasting gust after gust at Funaria.
'Talk about motivation…' Karin muttered in surprise as the two Wind Spirits floated on the winds and rushed at each other.
K-Karin roared as she spun in a tornado to throw her teacher off balance before inhaling the tornado she created into her mouth, her belly inflating cartoonishly like a balloon.
"Renkuudan!" K-Karin shouted before exhaling a large ball of wind, shooting it out her mouth and returning her body to normal while the gust managed to hit Funaria and send her skidding across the rocky edges.
Funaria grunts as she tried to get back up, K-Karin still charging at her to overpower her and throw more punches and kicks her way.
Over with Kumakori, the ice began to shatter as Y-Saki stepped out to reveal herself, pulling the icicle out of her chest as ice actually formed in her hole to close it shut before it melted like water to reveal her skin completely healed.
'Whoa! I didn't know you could do that,' Saki gawked as Y-Saki simply grinned before howling at the sky and then running towards Kumakori.
"Sensei, I promised that I would save you. That promise still stands true!" Y-Saki declared with confidence as she summoned a hammer made of ice from the mist, "Ice Hammer!"
She roared as she thrusted it towards Kumakori's chest, the polar bear attempting to grapple her and lift her up for another powerbomb, but as soon as she got on his shoulders, she hit him with the hammer so hard that it shattered, making him fall on his back and Y-Saki to land on her feet. She managed to gather up more ice and actually send an ice sculpture of herself crouching and sliding towards Kumakori with an incredible force, shattering and knocking him down yet again. Y-Saki then slid on some ice before managing to hit Kumakori's legs, making him spin in the air before she channeled some ice in her hand and then threw an ice ball at him, making him crash to the floor some more.
Back with Emi, she was still clashing with Erio, the two speeding up with punches and kicks but Erio had the power advantage thanks to her enhancers. Emi panted as she tried throwing her flurry of punches, but Erio grabbed her arms before crossing them and then flipping Emi into the air, bending back before diving down and crashing her into the street. Erio then flew up before roaring as she dove down feet first.
"Eep!" Emi gasped, disappearing right before Erio could stomp on her and instead made impact with the ground.
Emi then reappeared before her eyes glowed and she shot a large laser blast, Erio growling before firing her own blasts from her mouth and eyes. The beams quickly collided and struggled against each other, the impact causing a crater below and winds to blow everything away from them. The beams continued to struggle until they exploded outward, pushing both Emi and Erio back a great distance, both looking exhausted despite the latter having increased her power.
"Damn it, Shinteki… you are becoming difficult to put down," Erio panted.
"Emi… never fall… even if Erio have… light juice…" Emi grunted as she stood back to her feet.
Just before they could clash again, the six mentors were sent flying back towards Erio, tumbling and landing on their feet as the Tamashii joined back with Emi.
"...Min'na…"
"Sorry we're late," H-Mako responded, as the masters struggled to stand back up, "Keep Erio busy while we handle our masters?"
"...Okay," Emi nodded as the team quickly regrouped and Emi flew right up to Erio and punched her away from the group.
'So what are we going to do?' Mako asked as the mentors seemed to look exhausted.
"I have an idea… it'll be risky, but it's worth a shot. You girls with me on this?" H-Mako checked as the others nodded in response.
They all rushed at their masters, the latter prepared to attack but the six in unison blocked their attacks before grabbing onto their heads, making them get down to their level.
'Oh, I see what you're doing now! We're going to enter their minds to free them of the poison spell!' Karin realized as the six teachers were trying to pry themselves of the grip.
"This might be our best chance. Ikou!" H-Mako shouted, actually tightening their grip to try and overpower the mind controlled masters' struggles, roaring as a bright light shined between them, each of the mentors struggling before the light actually blinded both Emi and Erio.
Inside a black limbo, the six Tamashii and six hosts were floating down towards the ground, but had a bit more control as it felt like they were diving towards a spotlighted area where they saw the six mentors actually tied in purple chains.
"There they are!" Hyouno called out, flying down towards the mentors.
"Look!" Mako shouted, seeing the poison suddenly shoot up straight at them and form hundreds of Hydra-like heads.
They all gasped and dodged the incoming heads, maneuvering past them and doing their best to stay on the path. The heads started to condense as the twelve got closer, but the Hydra heads combined to form one giant Hydra head that roared at them.
"I got this!" Yukikami assured as she threw her hands forward and launched a beam of ice to freeze at one of the heads, causing it to freeze, "Donsai-chan, it's your turn now."
"Ha! Holly-dono, toss me!" Donsai shouted as Holly grabbed her Tamashii, spun her around really fast, and then threw her into the frozen Hydra.
She then roared as her arms encased in metal before slamming herself into the Hydra shattering it completely due to her immense strength as the rest of the girls landed safely.
"The threat has been neutralized!" Takanari assured as the twelve ran over to the masters, "Shisho-san, daijoubu desu ka?"
"Jiji! Oi, Jiji, wake up!" Hyouno shouted, the Tamashii in chains groaning and waking up.
"...Hyouno… how… what's going on?" Kashi grunted and groaned.
"We came here to rescue you all! Don't worry, Onee-chan! I'll get you out!" Kazeru assured, grabbing at the chains and trying to break them with the others, but it was a little tricky as they wouldn't break so easily, "Come on, come o-! Ouch, owie! *rubs her hand* They burn!"
"These chains have been holding our souls… our bodies have been serving as Dokuro's puppets…" Funaria informed as she just slumped her head.
"G-Gomen na, amigas. We shouldn't have gone out there alone… we were just concerned for you and your hosts. You girls should be able to live your lives freely and attend school instead of worrying about these beasts," Daigori sighed.
"Don't defeat yourself, Daigori-dono. You all have managed to aid us in our training for years. It's our turn to help all of you," Donsai informed, trying to break the chains despite feeling the burning in her palms.
"But me and Funaria felt like we were just taking your place as soon as we showed up. Despite their valid justification, we shouldn't just stop you from growing in your fights and experiences," Kayabusa muttered apologetically.
"That's very good, but that doesn't matter right now! What matters is that we get you out of here and free you from this poison!" Takanari shouted, yanking hard on the chain before Lisa joined in to help.
"I can get my hands dirty once in awhile!" Lisa figured, pulling on the chain with Takanari as one by one, all the girls started helping their Tamashii attempt to pull the chains apart.
"Hyouno… it would appear that I have underestimated you and your group. You have grown much, much more since the last time we taught you, I could not be any more proud of you. You think you can forgive this stubborn old lion?" Kashi replied and requested of Hyouno, who in turn snickered a bit.
"He, baka jiji (stupid old man)... there's nothing to forgive," Hyouno chuckled, pulling harder with Mako helping out, "The bond between human and Tamashii has grown much stronger thanks to your teachings."
"We can withstand their power, we place our trust in them, not to mention…" Mako continued, the chains starting to crack as their force grew stronger.
"WE ARE ALL ONE! IN BODY AND SOUL!" the twelve shouted, roaring as energy erupted from them before the chains finally broke and shattered into tiny pieces, the six masters finally free.
Back outside, the glow subsided as Emi and Erio looked to see the six Tamashii let go of the masters' heads, all of them drained as they fell to the floor, panting in exhaustion as the six girls demorphed with the Tamashii still in control.
"Did… Did we do it…?" K-Karin asked, panting heavily as she turned to see Funaria panting as well.
"I… I dunno…" H-Mako shrugged as she sat back up, "Oi, Jiji… daijoubu?"
"Yeah… I think we're alright now," Kashi assured as the rest of his friends sat back up and they turned to their students.
"Onee-chan… I'm so happy you're okay!" K-Karin smiled, giving her sister figure a big hug as Funaria giggled and returned it.
"Min'na… did it… Did it!" Emi cheered, flying over to her friends, leaving Erio who was just really shocked by the fact that the mentors are actually free from the poison.
"They broke through the poison… I can't believe it…" Erio gawked in utter disbelief.
"Geez, that was a pain," Kumakori grunted as he stretched a bit.
"I'm glad that you're alright though," Y-Saki admitted as she put her arm around his shoulder.
"Gracias, senorita for the assistance and freeing us from that prison," Daigori smiled.
"You're most welcome, Daigori-dono," D-Holly replied, kowtowing to her mentor with nothing but respect and gratitude, Daigori chuckling while ruffling her hair.
"I'm very proud of you, Hyouno… of all of you, for rescuing us and exceeding our expectations," Kashi smiled as they all smiled at each other.
"Aw, isn't that sweet?" they heard a voice chuckle before green smoke arrived near Erio to reveal Kyofukashi.
"Kyofukashi-sama…" Erio uttered before Dokuro appeared with them.
"I can't believe you managed to free my puppets of the poison controlling them," Dokuro muttered before shrugging with a chuckle, "Oh well, it doesn't matter now. It was fun while it lasted though.
"We're going to put you all down, not unlike we did to your entire race," Kairaki grinned after she sped onto the scene.
"Anyone who talks poorly about the glorious Tenchi no Tamashii shall suffer the consequences," Kashi threatened with a growl as they all stood up.
"Oh really… because last time I checked, the Tamashii suffered their greatest consequence… at MY hands!" they heard a voice declare, making them all look around in shock.
'Who… Who is that?' Mako gulped.
"It's… him…" H-Mako growled as a misty smoke of darkness appeared around the area before it came together to form the familiar figure leading the Akajyu.
"...Yamikari…" the twelve Tamashii uttered in a mixed state of fear and anger.
(Insert Song: Elevation by U2)
*As the instrumental starts we see Mako walking around campus before Torrie runs up to join her*
High, higher than the sun. You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here.
*As the two walk down the street, the turn to their rights, seeing their possessed formed in their reflections in the window. Their reflections looked at them with smiles to indicate they were their partners.*
At the corner of your lips. As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse, you elevate my soul
*We then see Saki in the midst of her breakdancing as she does her one handed spin on the ground before noticing her possessed form in a nearby puddle reflection which gave her a smug look.*
I've lost all self-control. Been living like a mole
Now going down, excavation
*As Holly was busy caring for some plants, she looked in the nearby window of a greenhouse to find her possessed form instead of her own reflection. Her form simply bowed towards her in respect*
I and I in the sky. You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
*As Lisa was in the middle of organizing a school event and Karin was assisting her, they see their possessed forms reflect off the mirror*
A star lit up like a cigar. Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you could educate my mind
*Emi was then seen, looking at her heroine form before they joined together*
Explain all these controls. I can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation
*The seven were back together, surrounded by Communi and Akajyu kaijin.*
A mole, living in a hole. Digging up my soul, now
Going down, excavation
*They all smirked before the six girls' eyes changed color, possessing them and making them go straight for the attacks before Emi joined the fight and they rushed in, attacking the kaijin*
I and I in the sky. You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
*After a bit of their attacks, we see the seven and the Tenchi no Tamashii hanging out before the astral forms of the spirits flew up and cheered victory.*
Next time on Sailor Spirits…
The masters have been released from their mind control thanks to the Tenchi no Tamashii, but Yamikari has begun to step into battle for the first time against our heroines. Will the Tamashii be able to withstand the battle with all the Akajyu or will they all fall?
Class 27: Student vs. Master Part 3
Coming Soon…
The Tenchi no Tamashii are about to get help from from an unlikely and forgotten source...
The Guardians of Eclipsia!
Kazeru: Wait, the who now?
Momo: This universe doesn't really look that different from our own.
A former student of the Guardian of Magic is under a spell…
?: Fascinating. Looks like our friends back home weren't kidding when they said these places existed.
An old enemy returning…
?: Humans will only know hatred, and it will consume not just this planet, but all other universes.
The return of old friends…
?: Been a while, hasn't it?
Hyouno: No way!
And a battle with the fate of universes hanging in the balance…
Mako: All the worlds…
Hyouno: ...Are under our protection!
Mako & Hyouno: We will stop you!
Sailor Spirits X Guardians of Eclipsia: Friends Across Worlds!
TB: Whew. It took a lot of time to finish it, but it was worth it. Part 2 of this three part arc is done and it did not disappoint.
KKD: That's for certain. I really enjoyed this chapter.
TB: This was pure action, tension, and character development the whole way through. It played to all of the Tamashii strengths and weaknesses, pushed them to their limits, shows that the bond between host and Tamashii grew strong enough to burn past the limitations of the Seal Release, and they used all they learned to save their masters. All in one awesome chapter.
KKD: Heck yea. In fact, I'm just gonna say it now: my favorite part of this chapter was when the Tamashii and hosts were reminded of how strong they were, and managing to actually get stronger with the Seals unlocked instead of the hosts being weakened.
TB: That was a great move on my part, just to show how much they are developing. My favorite part was that whole fight with the mentors when their Seals unlocked, culminating in entering their minds to free them from the metaphorical poison chains that were placed on them.
KKD: Neat. Glad we all liked how much we're improving ourselves as well as the characters improving in the story.
TB: And for those saying that the Hydra dragons were too easy and it should've been longer… c'mon, that entire fight with the Tamashii masters was difficult and long enough as is. Compared to that, the poison dragons combining to form into one are nothing. But it did provide for an awesome moment though.
KKD: True.
TB: Alright, we're gonna break for a bit at this point. But stay tuned for the next chapter of Kamen Rider Buccaneer, because that's where shit starts to get very hectic.
KKD: We say that a lot, but trust us, it really is gonna get that crazy.
TB: Until then, I'm the Lone Rider, TokuBrony…
KKD: And I'm the Crossover King, KKD Silver… *salutes* Jaa ne.
TB: SEIYAA!
