A/N. And now we begin the chapters that mark the closing stretch. Now, this chapter will introduce one of my favourite OCs for this story that will be major but not appear that often. To the story.
Chapter 26: Introducing General Agni D'Eath
Aya woke to the sound of birds chirping outside her window. Today was the day she could leave the hospital. She smiled when she saw Kiraat walk into her hospital room with some clothes for her to change into. Aya silently thanked Kiraat before walking into the bathroom in her hospital room carrying the bundle of clothes with her.
As she got changed, she took one quick look at her scars to only remember the reason to why she got them all. Her body was riddled with them. She ran her hand over a fading scar on her right lower thigh. She remembered her father constantly cutting her leg there. She stopped her train of thought when she remembered the reason why she was in there.
She changed into the white tee shirt with a purple 'A' over her heart, the white leather jacket with a purple and gold yin yang on her back, purple skirt that stopped just shy of her knees, a pair of white and purple striped stockings and black knee high boots with white right laces and purple left laces Kiraat had gave her.
She felt an object inside her jacket's pocket. She pulled out the object to realise it was a white eyepatch with Japanese characters. She understood what the characters said, 'the spirit of the warrior.' She smiled at what the eyepatch was suggesting. She removed her older eyepatch and placed the new one on.
The teen left the bathroom to see Kiraat smiling over at her before the nurse Aya only met twice walked in, switch out her bandage for a newer, cleaner one and informed them she could leave. The two left the room and walked down the hallways towards where Kiraat needed to sign to say Aya had left. The two soon left the hospital in silence and traveled back to the apartment.
They turned the corner in Kiraat's car to see a large crowd outside their apartment complex. The crowd turned to see the recognisable car of Kiraat. It soon became obvious that these people were reporters and other journalists due to the flashing lights and equipment.
"Aya, the attack on you and the others has caused a lot of stir within the information outlets. Reporters, bloggers and the works all want to know what happened but with their truth added. They want to speak with you, me, Zamira, Clare, everyone" Kiraat explained before they entered the parking area.
"Disgusting how some of you humans think" Nightmare snarled.
"They just want what they want" Aya sighed in her mind as she replied to Nightmare's comment.
"I've actually been asked as to who Zamira is. It wasn't easy explaining who she was without revealing that she is from another timeline. I actually lied and said that she was a cousin of ours that we recently took in after finding out that their parents were copycats of your father. I said that we kept that under the public eyes because it would be safer for her since she had no real social skills and didn't like school as it was" Kiraat sighed before the car parked. "I had to say part of the truth about her as well. I had to tell them I leave her in the care of a close family friend when I'm at work and the rest of you are at school. Not many people believe my story because of the chances of having you and a cousin look the same are slim."
"My god, does he ever shut up?!" Nightmare shouted.
"Yes. When he is asleep" voice smirked.
"High five" Aya laughed inside her mind.
"We better get to the apartment before they swarm us" Kiraat sighed before he opened his door.
Aya quickly followed suit and left the car. The duo walked into the elevator and went straight to their apartment. As they entered, they found Zamira asleep on the lounge with ice bags over her sides, held there by bandages. The other version of voice yawned as she heard the door close behind the two.
"Hey Kiraat, hey Aya, hey voice, hey Nightmare" Zamira smiled as she waved over at the two.
"Hey Zamira" Kiraat smiled as Aya waved.
"Aya, how is your throat?" Zamira questioned before she saw the clean bandages over it. "I'll take the bandages as the sign that it is not good."
The duo soon sat with Zamira on the seat available to them. Aya looked at the floor in front of her feet while Zamira and Kiraat looked over at her with worry. Out of the five attacked, Aya suffered the most. She was forced to watch her friends get tortured. She was beaten while watching. She had her throat slit and had her vocal cords removed entirely.
The two knew that Aya didn't want to know what happened to the other three members attacked. Clare had her arm in bandages and a sling. Jade had to take heavy medication for the next few weeks. Dèshì had his arm in a cast and sling for a few months.
Aya stood suddenly and walked into her bedroom. There she flopped down on her bed and slept for the next few hours. She woke in time for dinner. She later returned to her bed and slept throughout the night without a single dream or nightmare.
The next morning however, she woke with a start. She had heard a loud helicopter fly pass her bedroom window. The warrior rushed to look out her window to see a military helicopter land on the helipad on the apartment complex Kiki, Hilda and Blaze lived in. She backed away as she knew who was in that helicopter. Blaze's father, GNL Agni D'Eath.
That man's name set fear down anybody's spine that knew of him. He was a very hard to impress man and would never let his daughter be around the less 'perfect' children. The man was also described to be a giant of a man of peak military training.
Over at the helipad. Blaze and Hilda stood together with their heads bowed. As the door to the helicopter opened, a man in a green camouflage suit walked out with a black, wooden cane and about half a dozen soldiers. The man in the suit was a giant. He was easily six foot eleven. His black hair was almost nonexistent. His sharp navy blue eyes on the girls.
"Blaze; Hilda" he greeted before he walked pass both girls. "How has my daughter and niece been whilst I was away?"
"Just fine father. I made friends with some people you may or may not agree with" Blaze informed as she walked behind the man with her head bowed.
"Just fine uncle. Me and Blaze haven't fought majorly this year" Hilda informed as she walked in toe with Blaze.
"Good. Now, I want you both to invite your friends over for dinner at your grandfather's old mansion on the outside of town. I would like to meet them and see if they are worthy of being friends with you both" the man ordered.
"When will this dinner happen?" Blaze asked.
"Tomorrow night" the man answered.
Blaze and Hilda swallowed hard once they heard this. They looked at each other before saying an affirmative of some kind.
Back over with Aya, the leader of the Warriors ran down the hallway into the kitchen. She ran in to see her breakfast ready for her to eat. She wolfed it down as the other members of the apartment residents finished up. Kiraat was amazed at how quickly the young, still injured, Warrior had eaten.
They soon left for school, work or care. Aya and Clare stepped out of their ride before they saw Blaze and Hilda walk out of a limousine with their heads bowed. The limousine sped away, shortly followed by Kiraat and Zamira. Aya and Clare walked over to Blaze and Hilda with concern.
"Blaze, Hilda, what's wrong?" Clare asked.
"My father is back from work. He wants us to invite our friends up to his mansion on the outskirts of town" Blaze explaine. "But the thing is, he wants to meet you all to see if he thinks you guys should be our friends."
"If he doesn't like you and doesn't want you to be friends with us, he will flat out tell you to never be associated with the D'Eath family" Hilda added. "He particularly hates people with visible disabilities and people with mental disabilities. He has this ideology that physically and mentally disabled people will transfer over to me and Hilda."
"He accepts Kiki because she is smart and lost her leg in a car accident. Everyone else is at risk" Blaze finished.
"Corrupted much?" Voice snarled.
"What side is he on in the Corekai versus Corrupted?" Clare asked.
"Corekai but agrees with a few Corrupted point of views" Blaze answered.
"We better get moving. The rest of the group needs to know about this new development" Hilda ordered with a soft voice.
The other three nodded, Blaze only slightly. They all walked into the school to see their group waiting for them. When they approached, Blaze and Hilda explained what was happening with Blaze's father and his offer. Her friends knew the risk but they agreed to do it.
Aya didn't make an attempt to get attention. She just silently waited for the bell. As it rang, she left for the last meeting for the school dance planners whilst the rest of the group headed for class. She walked into the mostly empty classroom to see all but Yuno in the room. She was soon picked up from behind by a squealing person.
Aya didn't need to guess who this was. It was definitely Yuno. She was let back to the ground before she saw the bundle of energy that was the happy Yuno push its way into her vision.
"Hey Aya. I'm happy you are back" Yuno smiled before she delivered a bone crushing hug on the Warrior.
Aya knew she couldn't say a thing but she need to tell Yuno she couldn't breathe. She was saved by the teacher walking into the room. The teacher cleared her throat, signalling Yuno to stop. From there, she talked about the up coming dance. Aya, voice, Nightmare and Yuno all knew that the dance was most likely not going to happen but they still acted like it was. They didn't want to rise suspicion.
The bell went for their second lot of classes and they left for the classes except for Aya. She had already informed her teacher as to why she wouldn't be at the second period class. She needed a period of class to catch up on all the work she missed while she was in the hospital. This, was a lie to allow her to have an empty classroom to herself.
She set up a clearing and heard the door unlock behind her. She turned to see Beag in his Earth form walk into the room. He gave Aya a soft smile before he knelt to be at her height.
"Hello Samuraius" he softly greeted.
Aya smiled in response. Beag knew the reason as to why she couldn't speak. He soon stood and assumed a position, waiting for Aya to accept his offer. Aya knew all the things happening at the dance and she knew that there was going to be a dance for couples. The dance would be a waltz.
She took Beag's offer and soon the two were practicing Aya's dancing skills. They danced for about three quarters of the time of the class period. By this time, Beag needed to leave. He waved as he disappeared in a shower of lights. Aya breathed out before she began to practice her fighting. She summoned her sword before she began swinging.
This however, had an unexpected visitor. Aya swung the sword she used on Quarton And she saw him. She saw GNL Agni D'Eath. He had a smirk as he walked into the room and a look in his eyes.
"What is a student doing wielding such a sharp weapon? Surely your eye and throat tell you you shouldn't play with sharp blades?" The General questioned Aya.
When he was met by silence, he laughed about her being scared. He was quick to assume. Aya looked over at he chalkboard to see there was still chalk there. She rushed over and quickly wrote why she couldn't speak. The General read the message before taking in Aya.
"You are Aya Tenkey. My word, you have seen better days. I take it you were just practicing swordplay as a means of self defence?" He asked.
Aya answered yes. Before the General could say another word, the school bell rang for recess. GNL Agni D'Eath gave Aya a nod before leaving. Aya cleaned up the room and sent her weapon back to Quarton before she left. Little did she know was that, that man would play a larger role in the upcoming battle than she would've ever thought.
A/N. Hello, I hope you enjoyed this. Now, some of you have noticed I have changed the name of the story and summary.

Aya and most of the team arrive at the mansion outside the city for the proposal for a dinner. It is just them and GNL Agni D'Eath. What is it that Blaze's father say that causes such an issue that one member has disappeared. Next time in: Dinner Date
