KIBA II: The awakening
Episode 11: Awakening:
"Wow ... this duel will be very entertaining" Takeshi said with a very mocking smile on his face, at the same time he launched the attack ... he threw some electric Shards against Ginga, but he dodges them with ease, while he counterattacks by shooting at his enemy ...
Ginga: Please don't make it so easy my friend, otherwise this won't be fun at all
Takeshi: I agree with you -he laughs- So calm down, I'll make you suffer a lot
Saying this he runs with his sword against Ginga ... while calling his spirit, Ginga manages to get out of the way dodging the attack while raising his hand to the sky "Goliath" He shouted as his spirit appeared on the scene ...
"Very good Takeshi" Zadock said to himself as he watched the combat pleased "Everything is ready for the main attraction of the day", Hiromi did not pay attention to the battle, but continued to observe the Young White-haired man, who was with his friends in the participant area ...
Zed: That guy is very strange - he said puzzled - I have a bad feeling about all this
Mikki: What do you mean? So far it's been a normal match
Noah: I think you worry too much
Zed turns to see the spirit that was standing behind him, he still had his hands on the boy's shoulders, but his gaze was still fixed on the combat ...
Takeshi attacked Ginga with his sword (from the yellow scabbard), but he dodged his attacks with ease, or so it seemed. At the same time, he decides to counterattack by shooting a Shard from his hand, which hit his opponent, forcing him to retreat a few meters from Ginga and causes him to fall on his knees for an instant ...
Takeshi: Damn, that hurt a lot ...
Ginga: Don't tell me that with that I already defeated you ... get up and fight, don't disappoint me like that
Takeshi: If that's what you want… -When saying this he calls a new spirit again and throws the Shard into the sky- Go now Shadin!
Ginga: What? A Key spirit?
"It can't be ... it's Shadin" Zed said surprised at the appearance of the key spirit that he once possessed when it was entrusted to him by Sagiri ... "How is it that someone like him possesses it?"
The spirit sticks its head in the concrete of the Arena, causing part of it to open in two and beams out of it in the direction of Ginga ... "Goliath, help me" said the green-haired but this was cornered by the other spirit Shard at the Which one was confronting ... Takeshi laughed when he saw that his enemy was in trouble.
Takeshi: Didn't you want more pressure My friend? Well it seems that you are not enjoying it
Ginga: Shut up moron- jump trying to avoid the attacks of the spirit-rays How can I stop it?
The spirit Key Shadin nailed his head back to the head obtaining the same previous results, Ginga manages to dodge them, but this time the spirit takes advantage and gives a very strong blow to the boy forcing him to fall in the sand ...
"Ginga NO!" Roya shouted in the distance, while she put her hands to her head terrified by what she saw, "This is not right" said Noah while the rest watched in amazement by what was happening, the bustle of people excited by the violence that they saw was very strong ... Takeshi approached with his sword towards Ginga little by little, while he got up with great difficulty, one of his arms was injured ...
Takeshi: Too bad ... I expected more from you -he stops his step- not even with your mechanized body you can win me, I only feel shame on you
Ginga: Huh… I must admit that you are… very strong
Takeshi: Of course I am, otherwise Jimoto wouldn't have sent me- He laughs wildly… he takes impulse and runs towards the green-haired man- NOW DIE!
Saying this he cuts the boy in front of him with his sword, wounding him from the left side of his chest to the right side of his body, at the same time that he kicked him so that he fell hard to the ground ... in an instant silence invaded the stadium ... everyone was stunned by what happened, they couldn't believe what happened before their eyes ... this was not allowed in the fair. "Attack now, Shadin!" Takeshi said while pointing to the right side of the stadium, where there were civilians, immediately the spirit jumps over this place giving a punch causing chaos among the people in the place who were running for their lives ... quickly the Amir Gaoul leaves the participant area and takes his life-size, thus counterattacking the spirit of Takeshi ...
"You are a bastard!" Zed said as he threw himself into the sand against Takeshi, at the same time that Moreno and Noah joined him ..., but Takeshi was faster and evaded their attacks with ease, some electric Shards hit Moreno, which came from Rin and Kenji, had joined the fight At the same time that Noah and Zed attacked the Takeshi with their sword ...
Meanwhile we see Roya, Ryan and Mikki approach the place where Ginga was, ready to help him and not let his friend die ... "Ginga ... please answer me" Roya said through tears ... "Please don't die, not now "Mikki touches her friend's shoulder and says" Roya, it is better to get him out of this place as soon as possible ", The black-haired woman nods her head as Ryan and the young baker prepared to carry him out of there while she followed them ...
Feathers fell from the sky while roars were heard ... The Amir Gaoul counterattacked with a clear advantage to the spirit in front of him, Hiroshi and Zadock watched carefully ...
Hiromi: Call him ...
Zadock: What?
Hiromi: Call Zashura now!
Zadock: As Lord Hiromi says… - He takes out the Shard and throws it into the void- Zashura, go now and attack the Amir Gaoul!
Saying this, the spirit appears launching itself almost instantly ... use "Quick attack" against the winged spirit, but it manages to stop it with one of its wings ... Zed crossed his sword with Takeshi, in Parallel Noah fought with Kenji and Moreno against Rin ... The white-haired man threw some Fire Shards at his opponent, but he used a shield to protect himself from the Attack ...
Zed: why? Why does Jimoto do something like this? What are you trying to prove? It is silly of you to do something like that, in an enemy country ...
Takeshi: Isn't it obvious? We want power and glory, violence and greed run in our blood ... Jimoto is not willing to accept being bowed down by other countries, we will show how great we can be
Zed: Are you still looking for power? You guys have me fed up with it- He attacks Takeshi directly with his sword, but he holds back the attack- You and your stupid wars ... thousands of people can die, and you don't care
Takeshi: We don't mind sacrificing a few as long as it benefits Jimoto- Push the white-haired man away- No matter the cost, we will make everyone fear us
Zed: Listen to what you say YOU'RE MISERABLE! - When he says this he takes some Shards and throws them at his enemy, this time being able to hit his target making it fall to the ground- YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE HAVE ME HURT FOR YOUR HUNGER FOR POWER- he said with anger as he ran towards the green-haired man- THE POWER IS EVERYTHING FOR YOU AND YOU DON'T CARE HURTING THE REST, SO I'LL END UP WITH YOU AND YOUR DAMN RACE ...
Noah had an even fight with Kenji, both were on the same level, unfortunately we could not say the same about Moreno, who was killed by Rin ... she stabbed his sword in his chest causing him to die instantly ... Shey and Lars joined the attack against Rin ... Noah, despite being facing Kenji, had his attention focused on Zed, he sensed something strange coming from him ... and this distraction would take its toll quickly, since Kenji took advantage of it to throw Shards against the boy causing him to fall unconscious to the ground ...
"Noah ... NO!" Zed said when he realized that his friend had fallen, so he tries to get away from his combat with Takeshi and runs towards Kenji to avoid doing more damage to his friend, but the spirit Shard of his opponent intercepts him, forcing Zed to jump dodging the attack ... but from behind Takeshi appears giving him a blow causing the boy to fall to the ground with force, at the same time that the spirit Shard gave a punch to the boy causing him to complain of pain in a very desperate way ...
Takeshi: You are very persistent to tell the truth ... but don't worry, now I will put you to sleep ...
Zed: You are a ... damn ... -he said while the pain invaded him throughout his body- you will not ... get away with it
Takeshi slowly approaches the boy, while the white-haired man turned to see his friend Noah, who was getting kicked in the stomach by Kenji… but suddenly everything went dark… Suddenly everything disappeared, "What… what's wrong? " he asked himself, he looked around and there was nothing, a moment ago he was in Templar, but now ...
"Use me now Zed ... it's time you let me go out and show you what we are capable of" it could be heard saying while at the same time a strange entity appeared at the same time ... "Use me now, you need me" he said again, it was that same being that appeared before him when he was inside the spirit of Tasker, that one said to call the power ...
-Take my hand Zed -extend his left arm towards the boy- I can help you ...
Zed: But who are you?
-I am the power Zed ... I am the origin of everything and nothing, I am the only one who can exercise dominion at my will and it is I who chose you to become Tasker ... you and I already knew each other, but the Amir Gaoul blocked your memories but at the same time sealed me, so that I did not come into contact with you once more, but thanks to Hiromi I managed to free myself and be able to be before you once more ... but the important thing now is that you need me and I will gladly I will attend
Zed: Why does someone like you want to help me? I went against your ideals and prevented you from destroying everything, right?
-Because power is my will and no one can try to surpass me, Jimoto wants to show supremacy at the expense of my will and I cannot allow that ... you don't want Jimoto to continue hurting the descendants of Adam ... -he approaches the boy and touches his face- so we have a common goal ... to stop them
Zed: We both want to stop them ...
-That's right ... I'll show you a bit of what you can do, but for that, let me make us one again
Zed: make us one?
-Yes - he smiles maliciously- Only then can we use our power to the fullest and face them without major problem ... - he lets go of the boy's face, separates and extends his hand to him again- let's become one AGAIN... then I'll leave you alone and you will continue living in peace, I promise not to do something that will upset you ...
The green-eyed man smiles at the proposal of the being before him, so he extends his arm and takes that of the entity in front of him, which smiles again and dissolves entering the boy's body quickly ... while this was happening, Zed felt an inexplicable pleasure , the hairs on his body stood on end with such satisfaction, he closed his eyes and tilted his head back while with his arms he hugged himself and smiled, ecstasy invaded his entire body
"It's time to act" he said as he opened his eyes (which changed from green to a crimson red) returning to reality ... his first vision was Takeshi ... who had his hand on the boy's neck squeezing him ... that guy's face was full of complacency for what he did to the boy, but when he noticed the boy's gaze changed to one of horror, since he realized that it was not the same as a moment ago ...
"Don't touch me" said "Zed" as he put his hand on the guy's chest, causing an explosive wave to appear from it, causing Takeshi to fly to the other side of the stadium hitting the wall of the stands ...
"It's him ... it's my Beloved Tasker" Hiromi said with glee "My beloved Tasker has awakened" he raises his hands towards the sky "show us what you are capable of" when he said this he jumps in the direction of the Arena ... Zadock looked surprised at Hiromi ... since he didn't know that these were Hiromi's true intentions when he came here, at the same time he felt his skin crawl at the boy's presence ...
His breathing was accelerated, but on his face there was a Machiavellian smile ... his crimson eyes showed a terrifying look, he turned to see the 3 Key spirits that were in combat, 2 against 1 ... Zed raised his hand towards them: " Zashura, come to me! " He said at the same time that the spirit disintegrated and went immediately towards Zed, but did not return to his Shard, but literally joined the boy's body ... but when he entered the boy he began to deform, the form that they were both acquiring It was hideous ... it looked more like a monster than a human ... its shape had a color similar to Zashura's body, its new shape was twice its original size and its smile was full of sharp fangs ... The Amir Gaoul can realize what It was happening so try to go to where was what was left of the boy,
"Zed, what's wrong with you?" Roya said as she ran to the place where Zed was, but at the same time she was scared by what she saw ... she stands in front of the boy and shouts with a little fear "Zed, what's wrong with you?" Tears come out of her eyes "Please answer me ... tell me you're still with me ..." she said until some Shards hit her, pushing her a few meters away from Zed ...
"Go if that girl is noisy" said Kenji with a mocking tone "For now she will not cause so many problems" ... The being turns to quickly see where that boy was and suddenly jumps towards him with the desire to attack him, Kenji tries to avoid him , but he takes him by the neck and lifts him off the ground ... "Let go of me, monster" he said with difficulty, but Zed ignored his words, with another of his arms he took the boy's body and began to stretch it. Kenji complained of the pain this human / spirit combination caused him. "LET ME GO MISERABLE" were his last words before his body was split in two by Zed himself.
"BROTHER!" Rin said in horror when she saw Kenji die in that horrible way, the being who had killed him manages to hear her and appears behind her taking her by the head and squeezing her with the intention of destroying her, but he feels the impact of some Shards coming from his right side ... it was Lars who came from Ulbarx who had attacked him, so he released the girl by throwing her to the side and moving towards him, hitting him in the stomach, causing him to shoot towards the water that surrounded the sand ...
"My great Tasker, is finally among us" said Hiromi who had appeared in front of what before we could call as Zed ... "Please show me your magnificence, I want to feel it" He said when suddenly the being threw a blow against him. But he manages to dodge it by stepping aside, and as he managed to do so, the fusion of both beings began to launch blow after blow against Hiromi, who did nothing more than laugh and evade them again and again ... "This is what I was looking for , this is what I wanted to see "Hiromi shouted madly ... the being when he saw that he could not touch him begins to despair and throws some rings of light from his hands (similar to Zashura's Quick attack) against Hiromi, who tries to avoid them but one of them manages to touch him and cuts off his left arm… "Damn it" Hiromi shouted while complaining of pain,
Takeshi: We should get out of here now, that thing is out of control
Zadock: You're right ... but first we must look for Rin and Enmeida ...
Hiromi: NOBODY LEAVES UNTIL I ORDER IT -Hiromi replied- We will stay until the end
Zadock: But my lord ... being here is dangerous ...
Hiromi: I won't leave without first putting my hands on that guy and bringing him with me ...
Zadock: But ...
Hiromi: Go away if that is what you want a couple of cowards ... but this is the reason for all this ... is more it is going much better than I expected
Zadock looked at Hiromi and the way he spoke, he looked very sure of what he was doing ... "Go get Rin, Takeshi ..." Zadock said ... the green haired man looked at him for a moment and then turned to see the sand, where he was the being that firmly saw those subjects in the distance, so he sighed and threw himself back into the Arena ...
Upon entering it again, he felt that something was behind him, he turned his head a little and there was "Zed" behind him, who instantly took him by the head and with his other hand took the body, pulling both parts together. with the intention of ripping the head off the guy's body ... but suddenly someone hit him, causing this being to let go of Takeshi and shoot towards one end of the Arena ...
Meanwhile we see that the Amir Gaoul fought against Shadin, he had a bit of an advantage because he had managed to get Shadin off the ground and levitate, separating him from his element ... So he took the opportunity to call his "Wind Lance", launching the attack achieving go through it in Shadin's body ... he inserted it exactly in the part where the face of the spirit was, forcing him to enter his Shard and it falls on the stadium bleachers ... The winged being turns to look at the stadium and observes the disaster that was in this ... so he goes back to his previous size and goes out to stop and get Zed back ...
We see Damián standing in front of the being that caused so many problems… he looked very serious and upset about everything that happened… "React now, Zed, I know you hear me… I know you're there… I don't know what happened to you exactly but you have to leave that form and return to normal ... "said the redhead when suddenly the being launched an attack on him, Damián manages to dodge them while throwing some fire Shards against the boy ..." If you don't react I will have to kill you, so cooperate and not even the Amir Gaoul will be able to stop me "he said when this being catches him with his hands and begins to squeeze him tightly, Damián complained of pain,but at the same time he managed to free his right hand and manages to release a wave of energy ... causing the being to let go and it to shoot again ... but it quickly recovers and goes on the attack again ... we see that Rin wakes up and sees the being that had killed his brother by running towards Damián, so she stands up and takes his sword and starts running towards him with the intention of attacking him but the being realizes the girl's intentions, so he turns one of his arms into a sharp object and He pierces her in the neck ... with his other hand he takes the girl's body and pulls it to the side ... so he tries to move towards Damián again but the Amir Gaoul stands in the middle of Both…
Amir Gaoul: Zed, I know you're there ... please listen to my voice and react once and for all ... don't let him control you, you don't want this ...
Damián: There is no use talking to him now, he was totally consumed, he is no longer here ... we must kill him
Amir Gaoul: You're wrong Damian
Damián: What do you say? Can't you see that he's ...
Amir Gaoul: He tried to merge with Zashura ... but his fusion is imperfect, that's why he has that appearance ... that proves to me that he is still there
Damián: imperfect? How is that possible?
Amir Gaoul: His mind rejects him, his body may have accepted it but his mind has not ... therefore there was no harmony and he ended up looking that way, so there are indications that he is still there -he turns and smiles at Damián- He doesn't like the idea of merging very much, so he's still there, another proof is that he didn't attack Roya when he was in front of him and he's not attacking me either ...
Damián: And why would he attack me then?
Amir Gaoul: You attacked him first
Damián: He left me no choice ...
The spirit is approaching the fusion in front of him step by step, as he did not want to over exalt him… "Hey Zed, listen to me, I know you hate the idea of supremacy between countries, I also hate it, I hate that spirits use for the war and you hate the humans who cause it, but not for that reason I will throw a tantrum what you are doing with all this, so wake up, do not let a being full of hatred manipulate you, you are not like that -extends his hand to the boy- Let me help you and I promise that I will sing you that lullaby that you liked to hear when you were a child ... "
The being in front of him slowly raised his hand towards the spirit, deep down it was Zed who wanted to be freed from such a thing ... but suddenly someone came running towards them ... "I will not allow you to disappear my great lord, Traitorous Spirit" It was Hiromi who came willing to fight everything for everything ... even though he had it, one of his hands was willing to fight whatever happened ... the fusion moves quickly to attack the tycoon Taskan, Damián not happy with the action of the being goes after him with every intention of stopping him at any cost, just like the Amir Gaoul ...
Meanwhile we see that Noah wakes up from his unconsciousness, and is frozen by what he saw in front of him ... he watched that abominable being fight against Hiromi at the same time that the Amir Gaoul tried to stop him along with Damián who was still a target for this being ... "Zed ... Where are you?" said the black-haired boy, since he did not know what had happened, he turned to look to the sides and manages to see Roya near the edge of the sand, unconscious ... so the boy, as best he can, gets up and walks towards her ... "Roya ... please wake up, we must get out of here ... we must look for Zed ... Roya ... "said the boy, who felt a lot of pain in the abdominal area ...
On the other hand, we see that Hiromi dodged the attacks of the being quickly, despite being bled he was still skillful, but he looks at these boys in the distance ... he knew that they were both friends of Zed so he ran towards them with the intention to Kill them ... the being recognizes Hiromi's intention so he uses "Quick Attack" to be able to intercept it, and manages to achieve it, causing a great cloud of dust to rise and above all, that Hiromi was projected away from them, Noah with his body try to protect Roya from the falling debris ...
The being turns to see those he considered his friends ... so he begins to walk slowly towards them ... Noah when he sees that being is terrified since he did not understand what it was, but the energy that emanated from it was gloomy, He stands in front of them and extends his hand trying to touch Roya ... "Don't you dare touch her Monster" Noah shouted ... "Don't you dare hurt us, I won't let you ..." upon hearing this the being takes a step back and then look at his reflection in the water ... he could only see that horrible being that he had become ... he turns to look around him and sees all the mess he had caused, so his breathing becomes faster as he emitted a heartbreaking sound at the time he brought his hands to his head ...
Damián: What's wrong with him? - He said surprised. - why does he scream like that
Amir Gaoul: He is complaining of pain, he tries to separate himself from Zashura, but this other one tries to avoid it- when he says this he runs towards the boy- Zed, please be strong, you are stronger than him - he shouted
Noah is surprised to hear that he called that thing by his friend's name… "That… is that Zed? Impossible, he can't be "when he says this he listens as if he was doing a shifting, he turns around and sees Zadock with Takeshi carrying Hiromi, Damián notices it and runs towards them to prevent it, but the portal closes ..." Damn "He said as he turned to see the Amir Gaoul approach Zed:
"Zed, stop with this ... they are no longer here ... please come back" said the spirit Key as he brought his hand to the boy "Don't worry, I'll take care of you" he continued by putting his hand on the arm of the being in front of him , but he takes it in a bad way and ends up throwing it to the side of the stadium, causing it to hit one of the walls ... "You already tired me" said Damian running towards him, but the being reacts in the same way and throws him away ... at the same time that black wings came out of his body, without many feathers but enough so that it could take flight and try to flee from that place, the Amir Gaoul when he saw what was happening flaps his wings and goes after him ...
"Do not go Zed, please wait ... do not do this" he said as he approached the being, but it does not react in the best way and begins to attack the spirit in the Air, so the Amir Gaoul takes one of its wings and without any other remedy, he began to counterattack the boy, in order to avoid a greater disaster ... the being launched quick attacks against the spirit but it managed to intercept them avoiding that they hit him directly ... "Enough Zed ... now come back to me, let me protect you and take care of you" The spirit said but his words did not work, suddenly the being raises his left hand and from it a ball of yellow energy begins to sprout (just as Zashura used against Zed in the last fight he had with Noah for the Key spirits) and he spear against the Amir Gaoul ... he tries to cover himself with wings but to no avail, the shock was very strong and ended up being knocked down, forcing him to return to his Shard which fell into the void ... then the being takes the opportunity to escape ... opening a portal and enters it ...
Damián moves quickly and manages to catch the Shard of the Amir Gaoul, he sees it carefully for an instant…. "I told you Amir Gaoul, I told you, that boy will not be able to escape from his destiny without us having to kill him first" he turns to see the disaster caused and the deaths that there were, some because of Shadin and others who were killed by Zed : Rin, Kenji and Lars were killed by the boy. The joust instead of being something funny had ended in tragedy, from which Templar would have to learn if or if ...
Noah: Damián… tell me what's wrong? Was that thing really Zed?
Damián: That's right, Noah, that was Zed ...
Noah: But why? Why was it that way? That aspect ... that way of acting was not him at all, I find it hard to believe that that thing is my friend ...
Damián: Well, face it Noah, Zed became that thing ... and he killed those people in cold blood
Noah: But why? I do not get it
Damián: His powers got out of control and he turned into that Noah thing ... now we must bring the Amir Gaoul back and go find him ...
We see that a portal opens in a transfer room ... in this were Takeshi, Zadock and Hiromi, who was badly injured by the attacks he received from Zed ... "take him to the infirmary now ..." Zadock said while Takeshi took Hiromi out of the living room ... he approaches one of the walls and hits it hard ... "Damn, what I was missing, that that brat turned into that thing ... he completely ruined my plans ... even though Hiromi said this is what what I was looking for, really this guy is crazy ... now what should I do? That thing will surely come for us ... I must be alert ... "
We change the scene to a very wooded place, there a portal opens and from there comes that fusion between Zed and Zashura ... we see that it was still flying, but the feathers of its wings were shedding one by one ... this being was taking his hands to his head, and it looked like he was suffering a lot ... apparently he was having a lot of pain ... suddenly a light surrounds the being and we see how Zashura separates from Zed returning to his Shard entering the boy's left hand as Zed fell to the ground firm ... the branches of the trees cushioned his fall a bit, even so the boy complained of the pain caused by the fall, his clothes were very torn ... slowly open his eyes, they turned green again ...
He began to look around him, he did not recognize where he was ... it was not the Templar or Jimoto forest, besides that Task did not even have so much vegetation ... so he was practically lost ... he fixed his gaze on the sky, in that area it was gray , apparently it would rain soon, then sigh ...
"What did I do? Damn… what did I do? I made things worse, let myself get involved ... What kind of human am I? Am I still human? I'm disgusting, I feel disgusting ... I want to die, I want to do it ... Why did I do it? What should I do now? - Tears begin to come out of his eyes- Amir Gaoul… Where are you? Why haven't you come for me? You promised to sing that song again for ... me ...
