Chapter:20 Element of Shadow
The audience are having a nice nap in their separate rooms as they can finally relax after all of the chaos that they watched.
"I'm back!" Everyone jump in surprise while some groggily woke up.
Everyone looked out of the room and saw a refreshed Vic floating in the room.
The back room bust open to reveal a nervous Mel without the shades.
"Hey Mel. How did it go?" Mel asked nervously.
"It was great actually except of the fancier places we went to," Vic said as he looked around. "Well, I see there are more guests here, nice job Mel."
"Thanks," Mel said as he is now calm.
"Vic!" Vicky came out of the sleeping quarters as he was happy to see his surrogate big brother.
"Nice to see you too Vicky," Vic said as he pat his little me.
"I see that there are more people here," Then from the back of the room, Diane is standing there with a smile as she saw all of the audience.
"Hey Diane," Mel said along with everyone that knew her.
"Well what are we watching today Mel?" Vic asked.
"Well this," Mel replied as he pressed the remote to activate the screen.
It then showed a more darker black symbol of a black mist with hollow eyes.
The screen then showed Amazon standing in an open field of a forest with a carved circle around him.
He sensed coming right behind him, and immediately turned around to grab who it onto their face and slammed him or her to the ground.
"Ahh!" A scream of a woman that is in pain echoed through the forest as Amazon let go.
Every woman in the room, except Diane, gasp in shock that Amazon would do that to a woman.
He looked down and saw that it was a young black girl with gray hair, and is wearing standard black samurai armor but under the armor is a black leotard.
"Not fast enough Kuroko," Amazon sais to the girl as he sneered.
The girl opened her eyes to rival brown eyes that is glaring at him.
"Don't glare at me young lady, I didn't decide to train to control your abilities, and you should know that," Amazon replied angrily as he know that it is true.
He was just sleeping in his favorite spot, till the girl appeared in front of him, and got a message from one of his teammates by telepathy.
"So they are just training, but does he need to be that harsh?" Momo asked.
"If you know Amazon's life, and you might think otherwise," Vic said as the members that watched Amazon's video could only agree.
"Why do I even need this? I can take care of myself with just a blade," Kuroko said angrily.
"But that is not enough, I am a veteran in this eternal job, and I know what is enough and what isn't, and to me I still have more ideas to do in the a fight," Amazon replied as he sinked to his shadow, and Kuroko felt someone hold her shoulder. She looked back that is was Amazon, but he is using his feet, that is transformed to raptor like feet, and bashed his head on Kuroko's.
Everyone cringe as they felt the pain if they got to the receiving end of it.
Kuroko fell forward as Amazon jump off her and land behind her as she kneeled in pain.
"So can you block that with just a sword," Amazon replied as Kuroko glared at him but he ignored it, he then look to the west and saw the sun setting, so he said, "Rest up for now, its getting late so you better not train in the night or your own element will go wild."
"I know what that feels," Fumikage said as he remembered the day of the raid from his class' camping trip.
Kuroko huffs as she went to a nearby tree and grabbed a sheathed katana that is owned by her.
The video quickly fast forward the time till its night time to see Amazon and Kuroko in a big tent.
Amazon is sleeping shirtless and is facing the wall of the tent to see the slight glimpses of short goat horns behind his head.
Kuroko meanwhile is wearing white pajamas that is too white for anyone to wear.
Kuroko then heard rustling from outside as groggily woke up, she stood up and freaked out of what she saw.
She is in her normal attire, but she is not in the tent but in a tropical forest that is so beautiful to see.
Everyone were amazed of the place, but weirded out that this happened.
"Hello?!" Kuroko called out to the forest till she heard rustling again. She unsheathed her katana to show that is well made and not a single scratch on it.
"That is a nice blade," Zoro commented as Sasuku also thought about it.
She then look behind her to see the bush rustling and held her katana high to strike, she waited on what it is till came out, ans she paled in fear and awkwardness.
What came out of the bush is young boy with black hair and golden eyes, and is wearing a white robe.
Everyone woman in the vicinity squealed in delight of how adorable he looked, and the guys covered their ears.
The boy looked at Kuroko curiously as the dark themed girl is freaking out.
'What the heck! I almost about to kill a child! And what is a child doing here?!' Kuroko thought as she quickly hid her katana behind her back.
"Hey there little guy," Kuroko said nervously as she tried to see that did she startled the boy, but he isn't one bit.
"Who are you pretty lady?" The boy asked innocently as Kuroko slightly blushed.
"How sweet," Weiss gushed which is natural when she saw something cute.
"That kid is gonna break a lot of hearts," Sanji said.
"My name is Kuroko, Hououmaru Kuroko," Kuroko replied as she looked away embarrassed. "So what's yours?"
The boy then looked away as his blushed to a crimson red.
"It must be embarrassing," Mina said as she looked at the screen intently.
"It might be," Mashirao said.
The boy muttered very quietly as Kuroko blinked.
"What?" She asked.
"Salamander," He said as he blushed so much.
Everyone blinked, then some of them snickered, and then they laugh out loud.
"Who would name their kid that!" Mercury said as he clutched his stomach in pain.
Naruto kinda sympathized with the boy since everyone kinda mock him with the different meaning of his name, but couldn't help that it was ridiculous.
Dragon glared at Garp since he was the one that named him that, and it was embarrassing during his childhood.
"Hahahahahaha!" Katsuki laught to his heart content as his classmates held their laughter.
Kuroko blinked then she began to snicker.
"Stop laughing!" The boy now named Salamander whined as he stomp his feet.
Kuroko still laugh as Salamander pout at her cutely.
"Aww," The girls could only adore how he looked when he pout.
"Sorry, sorry, but who name their kid that?" Kuroko asked as Salamander frowned.
"My dad does, along with my brothers and sisters have them but different," Salamander said sadly as Kuroko cringed.
"Can I call you Sal?" Kuroko asked as Salamander thought about and nods. "Well Sal, what are you doong here?"
"I wanted to find a name for myself as it is tradition for my family," Salamander explained.
"And why here?" She asked.
"My brothers and sisters searched the world for their new name to prove our maturity," He explained as he suddenly perk up, he then ran off past Kuroko, and didn't look back.
"Wait Sal!" Kuroko called out but he didn't hear her, so she began to chase after the young child through the jungle.
She pass a lot of shrubbery that keeps messing with her line of sight and slows her down, till she couldn't see Salamander anymore.
"Damn it. Sal! Where are you!" Kuroki called for a response till she hears growling.
She unsheathed her katana to prepare herself for any attack.
She was then suddenly being tackled to the ground, and she and her attacker rolled slightly back.
"Kuroko what did I told you," She then saw her attacker, and its a very angry Amazon.
"I told that you don't use your powers, and what did you do? You used it in your sleep!" Amazon snarled as he shakes the poor girl.
"Huh?" Everyone thought in confusion.
"Wait wha?" Kuroko asked as she blinked.
This only made Amazon angrier, "Ever heard the quote 'Shadow of the past'? This is want it meant! You just travelled to the past with your shadow by connecting to that timeline!"
"Ehh?!" Everyone shouted in disbelief at the description.
"Cool!" Kuroko shouted in enjoyment till Amazon bop her on the head.
"Not cool! Not cool at all! If you even mess the timeline in the littlest of things, you might change the future, and you might even have this responsibility at all!" Amazon shouted angrily as his teeth are now shark like, which made him menacing.
"I didn't want this job anyway!" Kuroko shouted back till Amazon held her on her throat with a draconic hand.
Everyone were quite scared on what happens next.
"You don't understand do you," Amazon snarled. "If you mess things up, your name of your life will disappear with the changes that you did."
Everyone began to pale at such rules that solidify the power of darkness.
Kuroko is struggling to breathe as she tried to kick him.
"You will never be born, you will never have a family, or even breathe in those lungs of yours at all!" Amazon then smashed her to the ground as she cough blood. He then calm down and said, "So what did you do here?"
"I *cough* just talked to kid named Salamander. *cough* Kuroko answered as she cough in pain.
Amazon then looked shock then turned to uncontrollable anger, "You idiot!"
He then smashed Kuroko even harder to the ground multiple times.
"Ohhh," Everyone winced as that looked painful.
"Come on. Where is it?" Amazon muttered as he looked very carefully around as he now carries Kuroko by the collar of her armor.
He then realized something and face palmed while muttering, "Idiot"
He then closed his eyes with full concentration as the view suddenly zoomed in to his closed eight eye, and the screen filled with darkness.
The empty void showed spots of light as the screen zooms in to one of them.
It then showed a tree standing by a riverside, and a slitted eye came out of the shade that the tree caused.
"What a great way of spying, he will never be known or be seen because its just an eye," Ozpon said.
Some of smart Quirk users looked closely at the image, and it clicked as they looked in shock.
The eye then looked to the opposite side of the river, and saw an amazed Salamander.
"Yes I finally found it!" Salamander cheered as he put his hands in it, and a mesmerizing glow surrounds him.
"Before I am known as Salamander, but now I am Amazon."
The audience then blinked, and then they looked shock in disbelief.
"Ehhh!" Everyone shouted in disbelief.
"That's Amazon when he's a kid, he's too kind to be his past self!" Mercury shouted in disbelief.
"He looks more like dangerous, than the kid," Qrow said.
"Well living for a billion years and years of solitude can change a man," Vic said.
"With all of that. It all makes sense now," Everyone then looked to who said it, and it was Momo.
"How?" Emerald asked.
"Well I think he's in a copy of our world, but without Quirls, and we have hundreds of rivers there, and one of them is the Amazon river," Momo explained.
"Which makes young Nile's name references to the Nile river," All Might added his two cents.
"Then he might have siblings that follows," Izuku said.
"2 elder brothers, 2 elders sisters, 2 younger brothers, 3 younger sisters, and add Nile and Amazon you have 11 siblings," Vic added as everyone were shock.
Back with Amazon and a semiconscious Kuroko, the half-demon sighed in relief till he felt something around.
"Time to go," Amazon said as he put Kuroko on his shoulder and dived in his own shadow.
As the two entered their shadow, they have entered a completely different void, as it showed different areas instead of bright lights.
Everyone watch in awe as they looked at the different areas, and saw some of them very familiar.
"Hey that's Patch!" Ruby pointed to one of the small portals and saw that its her home town.
"It's Saboady!" Nami pointed to another portal.
"It's the USJ!" Izuku pointed to another.
Amazon looked around for the present, and saw the one with their campsite, so he transformed his feet into thrusters and boost forward.
When he was halfway there, he was blindsided by an unknown figure as he spins uncontrollably as he look what it was and saw a younger version of himself.
"Yeesh," Coco cringe along with everyone at Amazon's younger body.
His past self looks too malnourished and wears dirty ripped clothes and chains on his left leg and right wrist.
The older Amazon is still spinning out of control as he entered another portal.
He and Kuroko landed harshly as he stood up, and looked around in shock.
It was Hell, but not his home world Hell, but another Hell.
"Crud its World 2007-17-12," Amazon cursed as he looked at the volcanic lands of darkness.
"You think helping Cinder, and die trying worth it," Mercury whispered to his other female companion as Emerald could only shook her head.
Kuroko then woke up, and blinked to where she is, "Where are we?"
"Kid, welcome to the Nether," Amazon said as he had some nostalgia.
"So he went to this place?" Law said.
"It was a special place for him," Vic said.
"Like what?" Carrot asked.
"You'll see," Mel said.
"Woah," Kuroko said in awe and ran to explore.
"Kuroko wait!" Amazon shouted as he tried to stop her, but she was already far. "Damn it."
With Kuroko, she explored the new world as she saw some peaceful civilizations despite the hellish lands.
She then saw a giant weeping woman, so she hide behind a rock.
"Well damn," Sanji said at how beautiful she looks.
The giant woman is as high as two grown man with a pale complexion and white hair. She is wearing a gothic lolita dress, and white long fingerless laced gloves.
"Nile stop it! No!" She then looked where the shout came from and saw another Amazon in a plain version of his present outfit, and is being pushed being pushed by a younger Nile.
"Uh. He still looks cute," Sunner cooed at how cute Nile is when he was younger.
"Damn it stop!" Young Amazon demanded as he tried stopping it by trying to anchor himself down with his transformed clawed feet.
"No she needs help, and you need help as well," Nile siad as he kept pushed his big brother to the woman.
"I am fine, so stop!" Amazon said in denial.
"No way. Huang He, Lena, Yangtze, Ganges, and I are already married and your the only one left of us that haven't, so man up and talk to her," Nile said as he kept pushing.
"Yep those are some rivers in our world," Izuku pointed out.
"I don't care about her life story so just stop!"
"Wow he's big douche when he was young," Naruto said.
"He was paranoid in that time, he wouldn't trust any people, except for his team and family," Vic explained.
"Too late," Nile said as he ran off to Kuroko's direction.
The black themed girl quickly went in her shadow as Nile hides behind the rock where she sat.
Young Amazon then looked that he was already close to the giant woman as he tried to sneak away, but the hope in his little brother's eyes troubles him.
'Damn my bleeding heart,' Amazon cursed as he turned back to the giant woman.
He took a deep breath and said, "Hey there."
The woman was alarmed when Amazon spoke so she looked up to show her deep black eyes that is shedding tears.
"W-Who are you?" The woman stuttered.
"Uh," Amazon zoned out as he looked to his brother and looked back. "Amazon Drazer."
"Why are you here?"
Amazon then looked to Nile again as he looked back to the woman and said, "I just saw you crying."
"I see," The woman said sadly which made Amazon panic.
'Sh*t! Sh*t Sh*t!' Amazon thought as he tried to walk away but the sight of Nile frowning stopped him. "But why are you crying?"
"So your new here huh. Then you didn't know that people here actually discriminate my kind," The woman said as Amazon snarled.
"Oh," Blake then got interested as she tought will go next.
"Then they are stupid," Amazon mumbled as the woman looked at him with hope.
"I think I know where this is going," Qrow said with a smug smile as he took a sip of alcohol.
"A simple difference doesn't make someone a monster, but makes them something beautiful." Amazon said. "Conclusions makes theories, theories makes gossips, gossips makes lies, lies makes fear, and fear makes destruction. People should never go to conclusions and actually see with their own eyes, and they could see the hidden beauty."
"Such words," Nezu said as he took a sip of tea from nowhere.
"Indeed it is," Blake said with a smile as Amazon's words hit her hard along with the Faunus in the room.
The woman blushed a little, which is visible on her white skin, as she slightly smiled.
Kuroko, still in shadow form, is also in awe from her master's past self's words.
"You actually believe that?" The woman asked.
"Even if I beat my evil uncle to the ground again, I would," Amazon said as he was quickly grabbed by the giant woman and hugged him tightly on her rather impressive chest.
"Lucky bastard," The perverts in room mumbled angrily to see someone having a chance of that.
Amazon screamed in fear as he tried to escape with not harming the woman, for his brother's sake.
"Say I haven't told you my name," The woman said as Amazon slightly glare at her as he tried to complain, but he was muffled by her 'assets'.
"My name is Charlemara, Charlemara Ghaster."
Ruby gasps, "That's Amazon's wife!"
The Remnant borns then realized that it was Amazon's wife's name.
"That's his wife!" Sanji yelled in disbelief.
"That's not fair!" Mineta complained but no one cares.
Kuroko then felt something pulling her in her shadow form as she got fling out of her form by Amazon in a far distance from his past self.
"Good thing you didn't mess anything important here," Amazon said as he looked to his wife's past self and smiled.
"He still missed her for millenniums," Blake said as she admired the two's love life.
He then shook his head and said, "Let's go."
Amazon grabbed Kuroko tightly on her shoulder, and the two entered, which I now dubbed Void of the Past.
The two slowly float towards the present.
"Amazon who was she?" Kuroko asked as Amazon felt saddened.
"She was my wife," Amazon explained as Kuroko felt very bad.
They took very long to get to the opening of the present, till they finally made it as the two came out of the shadows as they now stood in their camp.
Both of them walk to their tent till Kuroko spoke up, "Um.. Master."
Amazon slightly perk up as he looked at her and said, "Yes Kuroko."
"Um," She awkwardly rubbed her arm. "What do we learn next?"
Amazon looked away smiling, but it was covered by his right hand.
Everyone smiled at the their new relationship as some of the audience reminds themselves with their respective mentors.
Amazon quickly calm himself and said, "We're working with one of my famous moves."
They then went to their training ground with smiles on their faces, if Amazon's small ones count, as they charge to each other to start again.
The screen black out with the number 142 appeared on screen.
"Alright that's it for now, so wait for now," Vic said then he faced Mel. "Mel time for an intermission, they might need it."
"Okey dokey," Mel said as Vic went to the back door.
"Well you heard him, time for you guys to rest," Diane said as everyone then do their own things.
Well that is for this chapter.
So next update will be an intermission and I will separate them by show, so I don't have to plan a meeting from two different shows yet.
But now, I have released a new story titled: Arc Music Album, so you better read it, and give me suggestions of songs that I will play for it.
Just so you know, I am a fan of rock and electronic songs.
Vic out Peace.
