Final Battle part II (Demon Invasion)
"They've come too early…" Hao whispered, looking concerned out of the window. I also looked outside and saw people running towards the barrier. This was serious…
"Damn it Keia, wake up! I'm not joking; the demons are here to fight." Horo kept banging on the door and I started to get a little irritated. Even though this was serious, I still was one: with Hao in my room, two: alone with Hao in my room and three: Horo would kill me if he found out what had happened.
"Nii-chan I know I'm already getting dressed!" I yelled back at him while searching for my battle outfit.
"Hurry!" I heard his footsteps fade away and sighed in relief. That was just too close, way and way too close.
"Damn, we still had one day left…those bastards!" I had expected a thing like this to happen. Luckily we were all prepared or I hoped we were.
'Not good, not good, not good! Of every day they could have come they just had to come now, bastards. Where the hell is my shirt?'
"Here, I'll see you outside." Hao held up my shirt and smiled a bit teasingly, before vanishing in his wall of fire. I blinked and immediately started to blush again, what a time!
I quickly recovered though when I heard people screaming and yelling at the demons. I knew no one was stupid enough to go outside the barrier without the army, but I also knew that Yasu and Aori could get in if they wanted…
I quickly grabbed my belt that had the silver stars on it and left the inn. The streets were filled with angry shamans, who scolded at the demons. I quickly walked past them and saw Horo and the other stand by the barrier.
On the other side of it stood Yasu and Aori, both were smirking evilly. I approached the wall and looked them straight in the eye.
"What is the meaning of this Yasu? Thirteen days, that was the agreement!" I glared at them. Yasu's smirk broadened as he came closer to the shield. Since he was in human form it would have no effect on him whatsoever.
"Some, how should I call it, events of last night have really hurt my poor Aori. You know she can't really handle emotion like love and friendship." Yasu trailed off. I looked at Hao questionably and he shrugged.
"What do you mean, kisama!" I hissed back at him. Even though it was only one day, we still had the right to it.
His smile got even more evil, if possible, when he just stepped through our barrier. Everyone took a step backwards and gasped. Yasu didn't pay any attention to them and walked straight towards me. I didn't move, I was too angry.
"Keia, Keia you grew up so fast…can't believe it is almost ten years ago that I tried to kidnap you. Those were the good days…" he stood right in front of me and chuckled.
Kirura appeared next to me and glared at him, I hoped she could handle this. "Get lost Yasu, we still have one day." She lowered her voice; it scared me when she did that.
"Nani, Kirura, since when have so become so harsh? Besides, it's not me you should be angry on this time, Keia caused my Aori pain and this is the result."
"You bastard, that girl is just as much a Floral as you are human! We do not care about her anymore, so get lost!" I had never seen Kirura so angry before, but I could understand it. She did love him a long time ago and he betrayed her.
'Hurt Aori? What is he talking abo-…oh no…last night…' I swallowed as I finally understood what Yasu meant by not able to handle things as love.
"Yes Keia last night, now if the Keys of Light would be so friendly to prepare themselves then the fight can start in, what thirteen minutes?" Yasu nodded and walked back to Aori on the other side of the barrier.
Horo suddenly stood next to me, looking concerned. The usual blush was back on my face, I knew what he was going to ask.
"What was he talking about? What happened last night?"
"N-nothing…we should prepare…I don't want this to start with us being too unprepared." He smiled and walked away to gather everyone else.
I managed to get back to my room and dropped on my bed. This was so wrong, we had to fight a day too early, all because of me and if no mythical power somehow got awakened it was bye, bye mankind and hello demon world.
"This couldn't have started off worse…" I groaned and covered my face with my hands.
"I agree with you on that…" Just like always Hao appeared out of nowhere and dropped next to me.
"Everyone…Everyone will get hurt…I don't know if I can deal with this Hao…" I whispered through my fingers. We only had ten minutes left till the greatest battle ever would start and we were totally unprepared!
"That's a fact, but who else would fight them if we didn't?" Hao sighed and got up. "Most are ready…it's time…"
I looked up at him and smiled sadly. This was it the final battle, everything depended on the out come of this. The one who would stand last would decide the faith of the world…
The Keys of Light all gathered in front Patch. The fight would take place in the desert; not too far from Patch. It was an open field with enough space to hide and of coarse fight.
Their strategy was not that difficult; Faust would stay in Patch to take care of the injured while the rest would fight the demons.
"Nee-chan, are you okay?" Pirika walked next to Keia and looked concerned at her. She had the strange feeling something would go terribly wrong, but she held it to herself.
"Oh, um, yea just thinking over our battle plan…" Keia stopped talking and got a distant look in her eyes. She knew she was worried about everyone, but there was no going back now…
…………………………………………….
"Ah, there you are and right on time too." Yasu spoke, clearly mocking them. A whole army of red eyed demons stood behind him. The foulest creatures of the planet were there; some looked like wolves or other animals, others looked like humans and then there were those who just seemed as if the stepped out of one of those horror movies.
Keia looked bored at him and suddenly got a creepy smirk on her face. "Yasu, Yasu, Yasu when is it finally going to come to you? You think we shamans are useless, but still you did so much to kidnap me and in the end you have my sister, who, if I'm not mistaking, also is a shaman."
Everyone stared at Keia, this was the first time she insulted someone in front of so many others, even if he was a demon.
"Hahaha, nice to see you finally show your true character, Keia. Maybe there is still hope for you, my little demon." Yasu smirked evilly while Keia glared dangerously at him.
The demons behind Yasu started roaring and screeching, they wanted to fight. Yasu raised his hand and they fell silent again.
"Yasu-sama lets not wait any longer! It's time to teach these pitiful beings whose boss around here." Aori stepped forward, also smirking when she saw Keia. "Hi, there imooto."
"Hello…nee-san…"
"Very well, if that was it then might I suggest we start our battle?" Yasu made it sound as if it was nothing and some people got scared of that. Keia however was too angry to be scared.
"Hump, make your move demon." Keia walked back to the rest of the shamans. Yasu and Aori also returned to their group and waited silently.
The silence of maybe a few minutes seemed as if it would last forever. Everyone just stared at the demons and they just stared back. Yasu stood in front of his army and black flames started to surround him as he changed back to his real form.
He roared something in an ancient languish and all demons started to howl and roar. Then he turned to the Keys of Light again, looking all of them in the eye before yelling: "FIGHT!"
All demons started to run towards the shamans at full speed. Keia raised her hand in the air. "First line, defense take place!" several shamans took position and created a shield that went over the other shamans. The demons, however, were not impressed and kept coming.
"Third line, long range attacks aim…!" Yoh voice came above the roars and screeches. And another group of shamans prepared themselves. "FIRE!" beams in almost all colors of furyoku shot towards the demons and made their impact, but that still didn't stop them from coming closer and closer.
"Everyone ready…for the Earth!"
The rest of the shamans stormed out of the shield to face the demons head on. Even though they were outnumbered, they would still give everything they had…
Keia walked through the battle field, the demons weren't attacking her and she knew why. There was only one demon she needed to fight…"Yasu!"
"I hope you're stronger then last time Keia…otherwise the demon blood you have would be no use."
"Shut up, I'm nothing like you!" he had reached her limits.
"Yes, that's true you are nothing like me…" with a load roar Yasu fired a beam of black light at her and disappeared.
Keia managed to dodge it and quickly scanned the area around her for Yasu, but it seemed as if he just disappeared out of reality. She didn't have to worry about the other demons; this fight was only Yasu and her.
"Ah, there you are…I've been dying to fight you, you know that?"
"Hump, where does this sudden change of mind come from? If I remember well, you tried to kill me without showing your face." Hao smirked and created his fire sword.
"Yeah, if it wasn't for Keia I would have succeeded…heh, but now you're mine!" Aori laughed maniacally and shot several beams of black lightening towards Hao. He managed to dodge them all, much to Aori's dislike.
"Damn you! Stand still!" she hissed. Her eyes started to turn red and the wings appeared on her back.
"So that you can hit me? I think not!" Hao was clearly mocking her.
Aori's angry look changed into a glare of total madness. She began to laugh and made a bow and arrow out of her furyoku.
"The enemy shall be torn to pieces."
"Onii-chan! Onii-chan where are you!" Pirika yelled desperately over the battle field. Everywhere around her were people dying. Her brother and most of the others had been in the second attack line, while she was in the third line. Keia had said, no ordered, her to stay in the safety shield, but she worried too much about all of them and went out against orders.
"Nee-chan, onii-chan where are you!"
"Pirika look out!"
She looked up and saw one of the wolf demons diving in for her. She let out a high yelp and covered her head with her arms. Out of nowhere a golden flash hit the demon full in the stomach and it dropped dead on the ground.
"Pirika, are you okay?"
The Ainu girl looked up and saw Ren standing in front of her. She nodded slowly and quickly got up.
"What are you doing here! Go back to the shield!" he ordered her.
"B-but onii-chan…"
"Horo is fine, but he won't be if you keep wandering around." Ren quickly killed another demon before it made its impact and then grabbed Pirika's hand to get her back to the safety shield.
…………………………………..
The fight went on and on. While the shamans started to get tired, the demons only seemed to get more and more strength every minute.
"Yoh!"
Anna searched the field for her fiancé, but he was nowhere to be found and she started to fear for the worst. Could he really be dead? No, she refused to think that way. Yoh would die without her knowing and that was final.
Yoh on the other hand was having a hard time fighting off the demons. He was getting tired and that meant that his furyoku was dropping to a dangerously low level. But he couldn't stop fighting, stopping meant losing, losing meant death and death meant a demon world. That was the reason for everyone to keep on fighting.
"Is the little shaman getting tired?" a wolf hissed at him in a mocking way.
Yoh glared dangerously at it. "Not…yet…" he huffed. There was no escaping it, he was tired, death tired and he knew he wasn't going to hold on much longer. They had been fighting almost half a day.
The demon laughed and dashed towards Yoh, who was too tired to move in time and got the full impact. He landed hard on the ground and his oversoul broke.
"Yoh-dono!" Amidamaru tried to wake up the unconscious Yoh, but it was no use. "Yoh-dono…!"
The wolf slowly approached him. Its eyes were focused on the body lying on the ground. "His soul will be a nice snack…" it placed a paw on Yoh's back and spread its nails. Amidamaru looked terrified at the scene; there was nothing he could do to save his master and friend…
"YOOOOH!"
A red and blue flash came and the demon was knocked over. Zenki and Kouki returned to Anna; one of them was holding Yoh while the other was fighting the demon.
"Yoh, Yoh please…you can't be…no, wake up!" Anna was on the edge of crying. Then her eyes turned cold and she started killed the demons around her.
"KUSO! You bastard!" Aori glared angry at Hao and wiped the trail of blood that came out of her mouth away.
"The little demon it's doing so well, now is she?" Hao smirked and continued talking. "So sad, I've only used about seven percent of my furyoku."
Hao waited for Aori to look scared or amazed or at least shocked, but that never happened, instead an evil smirk formed on her face.
"I'm such a great actress…seven percent you say? I have been using only 1.5 percent of my total power. You see, shaman, I'm way superior then you."
Hao looked dumbstruck at her. '1.5 percent…this is going to be a long fight…' he sighed and put his usual smirk back on his face, what surprised Aori a little.
"What are you smiling at? Didn't you just hear what I said?" she looked somewhat confused at him. Normally shamans and humans would fear her and would show it too, but now…now there was shaman this didn't seem to fear her at all!
"You might be strong, but that doesn't make you superior…not to me." Hao broke his oversoul and started forming a new one, a much stronger one.
"T-that can't be…! The forbidden oversoul?"
"Exactly! May I introduce you to my O.S. Kurobina two." (a/n: explanations after the chap) Hao floated in the air and this time Aori was shocked. The Spirit of Fire half integrated with his body. Two large arms with long nails were attached to some sort of wing like things on Hao's back. (I've got a picture of this oversoul on my devianart page)
'This can't be! Yasu-sama said that oversoul was never used before…how can this be?'
"Because, we shamans are the ones who are superior."
Aori still looked shocked, but the got a mischievous smirk on her face. "Maybe you are a bit more worth then the rest, but is she?" she pointed to something behind Hao.
He glared at her and looked behind him. Keia wasn't doing so well, scrap that, she got terribly beat up by Yasu.
"Kuso…!" Hao cursed. Again he looked around this time for the others. Anna was fighting the demons like a possessed person, Yoh was K.O., Ren and Horo were busy fight a whole team of wolf demons and the rest was out of sight.
"Sad, sad Keia…I really hoped you had gotten stronger, but alas…" Yasu shook his lion head and approached Keia who was having a hard time getting up.
"Shut…up…Yasu!" Keia hissed back. She was leaning on her arms and tried to get up, but her furyoku was almost through its limits.
"Keia, just give up. There isn't going to be a miracle, you're not strong enough and no one is there to save you. Face it Hanashi, you're alone, all alone in this cruel world and all you're friends are going to die, even the fire shaman you love so much." Yasu smirked evilly at the word 'love' as he stood in front of her.
"Heh. I don't need a miracle, Yasu. I already knew that wasn't going to happen, I'm not Kirura…" Keia looked up for a moment to see Yasu's reaction. He glared at her in an angry sort of way. "And because of that I'll keep fighting till I'll be able to stop you!"
Keia managed to get up and created her furyoku again. She took the silver stars off her belt and threw them in the air where they immediately started to spin around.
Yasu wasn't impressed, it was the same trick she had been doing for the last couple of hours. He doubted it would work this time. "Keia…you are really starting to bore me with that attempted attack…"
"Hump… O.S. Hikari no Yume (dream of the sun)!" Yasu looked surprised when the stars started to glow and combine. They former a long spear, almost exactly like the one Keia used to have, though this one had a golden dragon on the end and a diamond point.
"Hmm, you' finally managed to make it…good for you…" without a warning he dashed forward and knocked Keia off her feet once again.
She quickly got up again, but Yasu had disappeared once again. Keia slowly looked around and scanned the area. Her eyes suddenly flashed to her right side and she quickly made an impact.
A loud roar was heard and everyone stopped fighting. All demons looked wide eyed at the scene for they couldn't believe what they saw.
"YASU-SAMA!"
Aori yelled and as she saw what had happened. There stood Keia, still holding her spear and its point was coming out of the lion's back. Keia also looked wide eyed at the demon, he was half way hovering above her, with its mouth and eyes still open, but no sign of life in them whatsoever.
Keia dropped the spear with the lion's body and backed off. Her eyes were blank and she sighed somewhat unbelievingly. Was it really…over?
Aori quickly ran to her master's body and dropped to her knees. "No, no, NO! You said we would win, you promised me nothing would go wrong, that these shamans were minor beings! How, how could this have happened? Yasu-sama…you can't be…dead…" the last part was only a soft whisper and she bowed her head.
"Keia…are you okay?" Horo quickly approached her.
"………"
"KEIA!" he said this time louder.
"Uh, yea, I'm…I'm fine, is it over…?" she looked around no one was fighting anymore instead everyone was just staring at the sad demon girl and the dead body. The demons looked unsure at each other and slowly backed off.
"I think it is." Horo whispered back at her. Then he quickly looked around for the rest. "Yoh, Anna, Ren, Ryu, Chocolove, Lyserg where are you guys!"
Keia also looked around and saw Hao standing not too far away from her. She smiled and sighed again. She still couldn't believe it, was it really over? For real?
Anna came in sight as first with a still dazed Yoh next to her, Ren had to help Chocolove walking, while Ryu was asking Lyserg if he was okay, yes everything seemed to be normal again…
"You…"
The group looked up surprised. And their gaze dropped on Aori who was still on her knees with her head down. A black aura was surrounding her and everyone knew this was bad.
"You…!" she repeated, this time more dangerously.
"YOU KILLED HIM YOU BAITA!" she stood up and turned around, her eyes were glowing red with anger and she had her hand in fists.
"Aori…" Keia looked away. She knew it was too late for her sister to be saved, but she had always hoped it was not.
"Don't dare to say my name! All we wanted was to be accepted, it is not our fault we have a bad name or that people just start to kill us without looking further!" Aori yelled and tears formed in the corners of her eyes.
"It's over, it's over…all our hard work, for what? NOTHING!"
Keia shrunk under her words, she never knew that. She looked at Kirura, who was standing beside her. The Floral was glaring at the girl…something wasn't right…
"It doesn't matter anymore…nothing matters anymore…I've had with all of you, especially you Keia."
Keia's eyes widened once again. She looked at the others who were standing in a circle around them. The remaining demons had backed off and were probably deciding if they should flee or not.
"I'm going to make an end to it…if we can't live on this planet then no one deserves to!"
With those words spoken Aori summoned all of her strength and created a giant black hole. Everyone looked shocked at it. It was making a rumbling sound as if air was being sucked in. it took awhile for them to realize it was sucking in air and not only that, the whole area started to shake and everyone had to hold on to something.
"What the hell is that thing!" Ren yelled above the noise.
"I don't know!" Keia yelled back while holding on to a big boulder. Her hands started to slip away, due to the lack of strength.
'Oh no, come on hold on!' she mentally scolded at herself, but she still kept slipping away.
"Hold on!"
A strong arm was wrapped around Keia's waist and pulled her closer to the boulder. "You okay!" Hao asked in a hurry while using his O.S. to get a better grip on the boulder.
"Arigatoo…she's destroying everything!"
"I know. That thing is even pulling in her own kind!" Hao yelled back and looked up as several demons were sucked into the dark hole. Aori still stood underneath it, giving her energy to keep it going.
Keia also looked up…how could she ever stop this?

Me: cliffhanger XD (insert evil laugher) anyway, wheeweh, this was a long chapter….okay, back to the O.S. oversoul thing. I Do Not own it! It's from the shaman king manga and this is the highest form of over soul (the true one) too bad it never appeared in the anime it's really cool ;D
If you're still wondering how it looks, there is a picture from the manga on my devianart page. There you see the O.S forms of Hao and Lyserg. (the names of it also aren't mine btw)
Well, all off you THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the reviews and I hope you review again!
Till next time; arigatoo and Ja Ne! ;D
