[Somewhere in the Void] [Time ??:?? ??] [3rd pov]

...

Darkness... all there is, an empty space, devoid of any color, not even black can describe it, unnatural, the Void seems to be rejected all around it, as though it has the will of its own, seeking to return the natural existing back to nothingness...

... Suddenly, a Flame appears a grim unnatural Purple Flame that will burn and return the living to the ash of nothingness.

...

(ugghhh... the... universe must be... return to... ... mistake... much... erasing... ...)

the Flame suddenly spoke in a slow disturbance, unorganized tone.

"Yes, we understand, everything is going as planned, we just need a little more time..." in the dark, A young female voice reported to the Flame.

(... Ugghhh... Seelen... energy... moreee...)

Seelen?

"We have been searching for an opportunity to harvest more Seelen, but the Wächter continue to interfere with our plan, preventing us from getting the amount of desirable Seelen energy..."

(Ugghhh...! Giant...! In... the way... much... remove... ...)

The flame reacts spitefully at the mention of giants.

"Unfortunately, we don't have enough force for a Large scale battle with the Wächter force yet, and half of the Luziferai Holy Empire military was sent to Xenoah for wars, three of our Auserwählter already been sent with a hundred Revenant to aid the Empire, when both sides start killing each other, the Auserwählter will begin harvested Seelen... But even that won't be enough to weaken the Xenoah, with their Wächter ally..."

It seems like this 'Luziferai Holy Empire' is at war with the Xenoah.

...

(... ... More... Stronger... Army... ...)

"Huh? You want more? ... We will need more hosts then, most humans don't have the quality to host a category five Beast, Their bodies will break down and explore to gore and gut... it's small pretty bad..." complaining?

...

(... make more... Number ...puppet...)

"...? You want to make those again? ... Okay, I will start to build them again, it will be quick..."

(... the world... much... correct... ing...)

The flame then disappears, returning to the empty space of nothing...

...

{Somewhere in the human settlement, 09:00 AM, 3rd pov}

In Gensoukyou, for many generations, the Youkai are the dominant race, but there are also Humans living here even before the land receive name, Human with the connection to their Ancient Ancestors who possessed the mean to combat, seal, slay, and banished Youkai before gensokyo were created, there are conflicting and bloodshed between Human and Youkai, but after the barriers being placed over the area and sealed the land away from the world, the human that traps inside have no choice but to make a deal with the Youkai and share territory for a co-exists.

but of course, there is still some conflict with Youkai causing trouble to humans and vengeful Humans still can't accept Youkai.

But over time, Youkai and humans just accept their new way of life in this strange yet beautiful world, the Village that was trap inside become the only save human settlement in the mostly youkai infected land, many humans there, including The outsider who somehow found themself in gensokyo, take residence there and stay away from the Youkai territory, and for some reason, most Youkai also stays away from the Village as well.

Over time, the village population grows and we have to expand our territory without giving the youkai a reason to spark something. And with the larger territory, we will need more security and new laws to enforce, to increase the safety and maintain peace in the village.

"And that is the end of today lessons everyone, you should away remember to study, learn, and know the history of the older generation." The historical teacher says to her class.

As the children begin to gather they're studying supplies and their parents are waiting outside to take them home.

"Bai Bai Keine-sensei!" The children wave goodbye, the teachers known as Keine-sensei wave back.

"Sigh... Naruto and Kiba need to take their study more seriously, Giggle. But I guess they can be smart in their own way." Keine-sensei reviewing the student's homework.

Keine-sensei is a young woman in her early twenties with Rudy-red eyes, long light-blue hair, and darker-blue highlights. She wore a dark blue dress with a white skirt under her outer blue one, short white sleeves, and a red ribbon tied to the bottom of the collar. On her head is a strange hat that looks kinda like a house with a red ribbon on top.

Keine-sensei sits behind her work desk and reviewing her student's work, enjoying the tea she makes.

suddenly.

Sensing Something, she stood up with eyes wide.

Eyes closed, concentrating her senses to make sure she's not mistaken.

...

... open her eyes in narrowed ample, Dangerously.

(So they're finally here aren't they? I can only sense those beasts, no sign of their summoner, and they aren't close to the village yet, Good.)

(In that case, I should prepare and warn others of this.) She then walks around and searches for stuff.

...

(Two years... has it really been that quick? ... it feels like just a few days after that incident- no, not an incident but an invasion.)

(... that night, I remember that I was staying home and enjoying some sake with Mokou, because the villagers don't really like us, so we just stay home and enjoy ourselves.)

Searching for some magic scroll and other items.

(Then, the children came, insistently asking us to come with them to the festival, celebrating the new years. We played a lot of games, having fun and relaxing. I told Mokou not to smoke in front of the children as she will set a bad and unhealthy example to the kids, then came this really tall and big muscle outsider Man, he talks weird, making jokes and such. At first, I thought that he was trying 'something' but I was wrong, he's just trying to be friendly, have some fun after a day of hard work. The children like him. I remember how Choji challenged him to an eating contest. He lost but laughed it off and said that it was fun. Also make me wonder where all that food wand, to his muscle? That seems to be the case.) She reminded herself of the fun time she had that night, as well as mention of a mystery 'Tall and Big Muscle Man'.

Finishing with her preparation, she steps outside and carefully locks the doors.

... (However, they came... so sudden, without a warning or a sign... sound of horror screaming start echoing... when we got to the source of the common, just in time to witness a horrifying scene.) She starts sweating a bit, recalling the terrifying scenes.

(Not a Youkai, but something else entirely, a Monster, Kaiju. ... the scream came from a woman, watching as her husband, got his whole upper part catch in the jaw of the Kaiju, struggling to no avail, the Kaiju biting off the man and swallow, leaving the lower part dropped on the grounds, blood scattered everywhere, sound of flesh and bone-crushing in it jaw... then, swallowing...) She feels chilling, her body feels cold when remembering that...

(... Everyone snaps out of their paralyzed when they hear explosions nearby, another Kaiju appears, breathing fire and making explosions. It was total chaos, everyone running in all directions, screamed and shouting in fear. To make matters even worse, another one, roaring from the sky, expanded its wing and released down death lightning.)

(it was terrifying, I don't even want to describe what they look like...)

Shadow cast over her eyes, continuing to remind herself of the event. Too lost in thought that she didn't realize some friendlier villager wave at her.

"Huh? What's happening?"

"Don't know, Kamishirasawa-san seems upset somehow."

"Ne, now that I think about it, 'Kamishirasawa' is a mouthful, I just gonna call her Keine-chan."

"Nani? No, you can't, you're not in a relationship with her, and she's not interested in guys."

"How did you know that?"

"She and Fujiwara-san have a thing, it's just a rumor, but I'm not willing to take the risk of having Fujiwara-san burn me alive."

"Yeah, you're right. Well, that's too bad 'cause she sure is a Bow Chicka Bow Bow."

"Man, you're terrible, Ao."

"Don't know what you mean Aka~!"

... Let's just ignore that and continue, should we?

Anyway.

(Me and Mokou, that Hakurei maiden and her friends, some more that I won't bother mentioning names, some normal human warriors and even some Youkai are helping to fight the Kaiju. ... The battle was long and hard, we had to take them on one by one, and manage to kill two of the beasts. The Last one was badly wounded. But...)

(It was then that he revealed himself, the shadow and limit light didn't allow us to see his features clearly, but he was class in dark armor, covered from head to toe, not leaving a single skin exposed. Some purple light lines on the arm, shoulder, and helmet. The mouth guard fashioned like a human lips. A pair of jet-black metallic feathers winged. And...)

(Those... Evil Red Eyes, Pure Evil, glowing in the dark. There he is, floating on top the center of the village, on the palm of his hand is an unknown black Orb. ... he then says something, something that I will never forgive him.)

[Keine memory] [Kaine K. 1st pov]

"Inheritance of the Untruth World, your existence in this world have been nothing more than a lie, an illusion that blind you from the truth of the world, a dream that you have locked yourself away from the awake world, for all eternity..." he gave a speech, seem very religiously.

"To free you from this prison of lies called gensoukyou, I am the Messenger and General of the Holy Empire Luziferai. And I offer you a chance to be awake and find true Joy in the Promised Land of Great Lord Luzifer. The truth and only god of the Onmi-verse."

Holy Empire? Luzifer, the only god???

"The way to escape from this world, not to the outside world, but the Promised Land of my Lords. If you die here, then I will take you to the Promised Land, where you will be reborn with a life of everything you desire. Wealthy, Power, Love, Lust, Immortality, all and unlimited of your desire, no matter how sinful or pure, will be granted in the Promised Lands." Motion his hands in an offered gesture.

"The only condition is for you to abandon this vessel called a body and leave this fake world. Come, don't be afraid, for Lord Luzifer will embrace his child." As he finishes offering the deal, the dark orb seems to give some kind of response.

I suddenly get a terrible sense of coldness, deep in my very soul coldness...

I took a look around me, looking at everyone. It seems they're feeling it too, human and youkai alive. There is fear and anger in their eyes, they do not look at him in awe, respect, or any form of admiration. Is all the look of fearing the unknown, look of horror. Even Youkai like Kazami have a disgusted look at the speech.

Then I look down at the ground surrounding us, house and building on fire and ruin, body, some missing part, crush, burn. Blood painting everywhere...

My eyes follow the trail of one long line of blood, until...! until it...!

... There is... a... a b-baby...! Can't be... older than... a year...!

Oh god...!

"Keine...!?"

...

[Present day] [09:30 am] [Kaine K. 1st pov]

...

... I faint when I can't take in the scene anymore, and I know this haunting memory will follow me forever.

It makes me wish I could alter my own memories, to set myself free from them...

"Keine-sensei! Keine-sensei!" The sound of children broke me out of my thoughts.

"Huh? Oh, ohayou. What's wrong Hinata-chan?"

"Sakura-san is being mean to Naruto-kun again! Please sensei! You have to help...! Stiff...!" Ah, that's what it's about.

"Okay okay, just calm down and don't cry ok? Let's go see them." Smiling at her and we went to the playground nearby.

[09:35 am] [Keine K. 1st pow]

"Okay! Now you remember to play nice with each other alright? Now makeup you two."

Naruto's face suddenly changes color.

"Uh, Keine-sensei, you say 'Makeup', do you mean..." I only stare at him deadpan, knowing far too well what he means.

"No Naruto-kun, what I mean is that you two are not angry at each other anymore, shake your hands, and be nice to each other." Is his grandfather's book again, children shouldn't read that kind of thing...

"Oh, okay. Sumimasen Sakura-san! Let's be Friends." He then offers a hand to shake.

"No way! I'm not gonna hold your hands! You will Pregnant me! Only Sasuke-kun can do that!"

...

... Could have sworn I heard Hinata say something like 'Nooo~~~ Naruto-kun is myyy~~~' behind the tree.

It can't be that easy.

Sigh... This will take a while.

...

[A few minutes later] [3rd pov]

...

"Bai Bai Keine-sensei!" The kid wave at her.

She waves back, smiling sweetly, a gentle smile that has caught the heart of countless more accepting men of this village.

Too bad, they don't want to be cooked alive by a certain Smoker.

...(I don't know whether to tell their parents or not... oh well, I should get going...)Thus she continues to be on her way to meet a friend.

...(... After I awakened in my room the next day, I witnessed the destruction and chaos left by the invader, the people gathered the body, some not much left to be buried. Those that lost a friend, loved one, cry and mourn for the dead. Houses and property destroyed, some of them will become homeless, children will be parentless, Orphans, or living on the streets...) try to control her emotions, she can't let her tears flow out yet...

...(the village council was also in total chaos, everyone shouting, arguing, disagreeing with each other. Unable to come up with a solution to solving the problems of our situation... ... When the meeting's over, I came back to the place of the attack, even when I knew I didn't want to. The dead have been gathered, some still searching for more. ... I... regretfully look at the place where the body of the baby was, it's gone, the villager must have taken it to be buried. But the blood still remains. All of this horrible image will remain in my head for the rest of my lifetime...)...

...(... That is why I came to Okunoda. With our ability to manipulate History and Memories, we take it upon ourselves to erase and alter the people's memory of that night, and replace it with a terrible accident caused by some people or something, one thing leads to another happening and causing the destruction... ... It may not be the best solution, but at the time, at least it will erase the people's mind for a bit, to lower their fear, paranoid, and negate emotions. That also helps in avoiding the yokai from plotting something regarding the attack, Yakumo and even the Yamaxanadu warning the Youkai to not try anything funny concerning the incident or the punishment will be severe. The Yamaxanadu I can understand, but I don't see how Yakumo did, that woman always love to cause problems and uproar just for fun... regardlessly, I must make sure to protect the village and its people, even if I have to gave them a fake sense of peace while knowing full well that more danger will come. It also a way to keeping orders and prevent people from making stupid mistakes that will cause the situation to be more complicated than it already was...)

Now she remembers a famous quote by one of her laziest students.

"It's so Troublesome...sigh..." letting her shoulder drop and expand a huge tiring Sigh...

"Here already? I didn't realize...'' She has managed to the entrance of the Bamboo forest, while Lost in Thought Alone.

... That's a good Song. Anyway...

She turns back a bit to look at the human village in the distance...

...

...(I was born in that village without knowing who my parents were, or am I just a production of some magic. When I am old enough, They gave me the responsibility of being the village's silent guardian without giving me a choice. The only one that cares about what I want is elder Sarutobi, the Kamikaze and the Hieda family. I don't have many friends. Humans thought of me as a Half-Youkai, they dislike me and won't allow children my age to play with me... It's gotten better now, I have Mokou, the Namikaze, and Hieda, my students, some friendlier villagers, maybe even that giant outsider's man. Yes, I'm not so lonely anymore...)

...

(...And yet, it's so painful, with the thought that I have failed them, it was my duty to protect this village and I have failed Them when the attack happens, I couldn't protect everyone. Fuck! I even faint in the middle of a battle! While my friend and ally are fighting a completely unknown asshole! ... ... I'm such a failure... they gave me only one job, to protect the village and I have failed just that... fuck...)

A school teacher just uses bad language... you know what? Screw language! It's more fun that way.

...(But no more, I will not be so self-pity again! I know they will come back for more killing, they want to kill us all and take our souls for whatever sick Shit they do. But I- no, WE are ready for them, we have magic, tools, weapons. We can fight them! Yes, I know we can!)

"It's will be a Glorious 'Welcome back MotherFucker'!" She suddenly spoke out loud.

"Wow. What the? I didn't know you could talk that way. How time seems to fly." Suddenly a voice came behind her.

"Ah! Mokou!? Uh... It's nothing. Nothing at all! ..."

try to play dumb, aren't we?

"Really? Cause I thought I heard someone say something 'Welcome back MotherFucker', must be the rabbit then." was that really necessary? Well, No point tried to hide it Miss Teachers...

...

... "Sigh... Sorry, I suddenly feel a little tired, my mind does not feel right for a moment."

"Keine? You alright? Need me to take you to the doctor? I don't mind."

"No thanks. But Mokou, we need to talk, it's serious."

"I don't know whatever to feel blushing or not, but let's go to my place and we talk"

"Right. and Mokou."

"Huh?"

"... you will give everyone the wrong impression if you do that."

"Well, Fuck them then."

...

The two then gone into the Bamboo forests until there is no sign of them anymore.

But little to them known, they will soon meet with a powerful ally.

...

[On the route to the village, in the forest] [09:50 am] [Lee ?. 1st pov]

... Man, we sure walk a lot through this forest, the route down the Hakurei Shrine feels longer than up somehow, but I was Lost in Thought Alone at that time.

Again, I didn't feel so tired from all this walk much, as worse, I only sweat a bit.

Maybe I should check my physical when I have the chance.

... But the same can't be said about Reimu-san, she's sweating very hard.

That's an innocent thought, I'm innocent.

"Daijobu desu, Reimu-san? You look very tired, need to rest for a bit?"

"Sigh... Yeah, just feel a bit exhausted from all this walking. I can't remember the last time I did this much walking. Use to just fly over to the village or anywhere, it's faster that way."

We rested for a bit and sat down under the tree.

"Well, maybe if you do more physical activity, you won't be so exhausted from just walking, it'll develop your muscle and strength. It may be hard, but the results are worth it in the end. I learn that from... from... Who...?" That's strange? I don't remember their name or their face but I can remember their lesson? That's just weird...

"Sigh... there you go with a half-baked head again. And it's so tiresome, I mean, who can do a 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 squats, and a 10 kilometer run every single day without going Bald? That's just impossible." Where does she hear that from?

"Nothing is impossible if you work hard for It, and don't forget to eat a banana. Anyway, the point is, doing more physical activity is good for your health, flying is cool, but it limits your stamina, making you tired out quickly, And that's not good in a long-term battle when you're in a Youkai incident. Need to be Strong, Tough, and Hard, then the Youkai wasn't so eager to start something, knowing that a Bald Shrine Maiden will come and finish them in One Punch! Haha... just kidding." That was a joke, I can't imagine what Bald Reimu will look like.

... Actually, I can, and it will be awesome.

One-Punch Miko Saitamu

Marino Ordinary Cyborg

I will definitely pay for the Movies...!

"No way! It's not worth going Bald! I'd rather just sit home and enjoy tea, eat delicious food, and wait for people to come to pray for some blessing and donate to the shrine." That's just you being lazy talking...

"And besides~" she'd not finished and Uh-Oh, I'm familiar with that tone anywhere now~.

... she looks at me weirdly again. ;3

"Didn't boys like it more being Big, Smooth, and Soft~?"

Motion her finger close to her lips and doing... something with it...

Strike a feminist pose that fully displays what's hide underneath her shoulders. the most divine sight of a shrine maiden, right in front of my eyes...!!!

Oh... Mein... Gott...!

...

Baby, You Make Me Feel Higher.

Is what I wanna say, but stop myself from saying it.

"Haha... let's not go there yet..." I'm pretty sure I have a very awkward face right now...

Now that I think about it. her teased on me, including the flirting, giving me some of Miss Yukari vibes on her, make me wonder if she has something to do with this...

If Yukari wore a sleeveless dress and exposed her shoulders, I would have no doubt that'd be the case...

...

Goodness, it's already a thing in my head...? or was it always has been...?

"Sigh... Well, that's enough sitting around. Let's get going." She gets up and offers me a hand.

"Right, let -!?"

"Huh? What wrong Le-"

"Get Down!"

"Nani -!?"

*KABOOMMM!*

...!?

I managed to grab her down to the ground in time before that explosion.

The blast was strong enough to completely destroy the tree behind us.

"Daijoubudesuka, Reimu-san!?"

"Ha-Hai. What was that explosion?"

I help her up and search -!

"Incoming!"

*BOOM!*

We separate and avoid the blast.

"Over there!" She points at one of the trees, there a shadow!

I quickly took out the Hypergun under my jacket and Shoot!

*BANG! BANG! BANG!*

The shot missed, but it was on purpose to force the figure to reveal themselves.

The figure is a male, he wore a black coat over a tight bodysuit, the hood covers his head, and the face mask looks similar to a Kaiju skull, a Golza skull...

Wait, how do I know that a Golza skull? ... doesn't matter.

Anyway, I keep my aim at the coat figure.

"Who the Hell are you? Why do you attack us...?" I ask him, even though I'm pretty sure reason why.

...

"... ... ..." ... he just stands there and looks at me with those hollow eyes.

Maybe he can't talk? Or didn't understand the language? If that's the case, then there's several ways to know who's a Revenant.

He lifts a hand and it...!

...!?

It transforms into a futuristic design gauntlet running up to his forearm, red energy forming up to claw fingers.

Rise it up and slash down, release an energy blade at me!

The attack leaves a mark on the ground. I roll out the way and take a few shots!

But he transformed his torso into a set of steel armor, the shot barely hurt him!

He transforms the other hand, then the bottom! The head with a gun barrel on the forehead!

Was zum Teufel!? A whole set of power armor models after Golza!? The only part that doesn't change along with the uniform Is the skull mask. The hollow eyes pocket then glowing up red with malicious energy.

He began to approach me, I moved back slowly, Shooting as he kept getting closer, spark light up with any shot hit.

Then when he's close enough, try to hit me with the left claw!

I duck under it And left shoulder slams at his chest! He loses balance from that and I blast him a few shots blank point to the stomach and kick him back!

Ow...! It's like hitting a giant metal door, my shoulder hurts...

He clumsily gets up, shakes his head to clean out the dizziness.

We glare at each other for a moment, my gun trained on his head, Aim and Shoot!

That only makes him angrier though, changing forward and throwing wildly slash!

I try to stay out of the arm's reach, shooting any chance I could.

...!?

"Wow!" Throw myself down to the ground in time from a sudden tail attack!

He growth a metal tail from the lower back, It breaks apart the tree behind me in one blow...!

I shoot while lying face up, roll to the left and shoot in a kneeling position.

He shoots a laser beam from the forehead barrel!

I let myself fall down again, narrowly avoiding the death beam threat to cut off my head!

Heiliger Bimbam! That was close...!

...!

But this allows him to gain up at me! Raise his energy claw and strike down!

*THUNK!*

Heilige Scheiße! That is double close! I manage to spread my leg in time to avoid damage, but it's so damn close to the place that guarantees me of my gender...! Oh Gott...!

Take his hands off the ground and raise the other one up!

This time there's no avoiding it...!

I brace myself for the blow to come, pain it inevitable...!

...

...?

... but it never came? I looked and saw the claw being held back by a binding lineup by... Talismans? I look behind my opponent and see that it was Reimu, using some kind of Japanese magic to hold him back.

"Baka! Don't just sit there and be glad! Hurry up and get out of there!"

I did as she told and moved out quickly, just in time for Golza to break his hand free from the binding.

I'm gonna call him Golza now because of his kaiju armor and abilities.

The Hypergun's not enough, I gotta need to bring out the Big Guns. Where the briefcase!

"Reimu! Where's my briefcase!?"

"the makai do I know! Find it yourself!" Golza now has his attention on her.

I need the Slam Dunk, quick!

...!?

I roll out the way when sensing a laser coming from above, and train my gun on my new opponents.

He also has kaiju gear like Golza except with Melba design. has a pair of wings attest to the shoulder. a blade tails. And a pair of sickle-like weapons on each hand.

He fires a beam from his eyes, I move between the tree for cover and fire a few shots, but he keeps dodging.

Then speeding straight to my position, extending his leg out for a flying kick!

*Crash!*

I managed to get away, that kick completely shattered my cover, and it's not a small tree either.

I look at Reimu to see how she's doing, she seems to have handled herself against Golza good enough with her ability to fly.

Melba makes a turn, fire beam and I dodge the best I can.

He hovered over the ground and came to me with those sickles!

From the left, Dodge! Right, Roll! Overhead, Duck! and there! I ram the barrel to the midriff and blast!

*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*

"Growling!?"

This time, my gun showed effects as Melba growling in pain, he has weaker armor than Golza. And it's a blank point to the gut!

Melba retreats back to the sky, I try to shoot as much as I can until I don't see him anymore.

We're not done yet though, I need to get the bigger one and help Reimu.

...

[Few moments ago] [Reimu H. 1st pov]

...

I stay up in the air, avoid the silent attackers and send ofuda at him.

It didn't work very well, the Man-Lizards just bouncing off the paper with his armor.

I need to get in close.

Land on the ground, I throw some Youkai Buster even though he clearly isn't a Youkai.

Cross his arm in defense, I used this opportunity to slide forward and gave a strong kick to the gut, making him double back. not done yet, I move closer and give a strong Slap to the mask, spin around and back kick to the chest, holding my gohei in both hands, channel energy, and slam a strong energy double palm strike!

The fast and strong continued attack forces him to slide back a few feet, gaining his footing and firing his forehead Ray at me.

But I use my ability to avoid the attack, teleport onboard him, and dropkick to the head! Causing him to bite the dust. This is it!

"Divine Arts: Omnidirectional Oni-Binding Circle!"

I took out a talisman, raised it up in the air and changed it with spiritual energy, then slammed it down the ground, right in front of his face, looking up just in time to see what's about to happen.

I Created an expansive barrier centered around me and my opponents, the holy energy products by the barriers lifting the lizard off the ground for a few feet high and causing damage to him!

I jump back away when the spell is over and my opponents fall down in heavy crash landings on his back.

...!

I step back from a narrative ray attack from above, another one!?

He flies low and tries to hit me with a sickle, I duck under it, let him fly past me, then I channel energy to the gohei, making it extend to a larger reach and I use it as an energy whip, wrapping around his right foot and trying to bring him down.

Struggling in vain to escape the shide, he turns his head and shoots a ray at me. I have to move my head aside and let it pass, nearly burning part of my hair! Crap! I can feel the amount of heat it has and it will be terrible if it hits, hot enough to melt through boulders.

He's ready for another shot, I should let him go.

Shotgun!

*BANG!*

But before he could shoot, he let out a yell of pain when something hit him in the back.

There is Lee, holding a weapon I remember called a Firearm or a Gun but it's larger than the last one I saw him use.

but right now, he has a rather cold expression.

*BANG! click click BANG! click click BANG! click click...!*

He walked slowly and carefully, Aiming and firing the big gun at the wing enemies, loud gunshot, effectively injuring and tearing through the flyer bodies, it's a wonder the arm or leg didn't blow off.

With the last efforts, the Bird fired a Ray at him, but due to the pain and wounds, the beam missed.

Lee stands there, ignoring the death beam that misses his head just a few inches, Aiming... and...

"Hasta la vista, Birdy."

*BANG!*

...

*click click...!*

...

That shot completely destroyed one of the wings, the BirdMan fell to the ground, not dead but unconscious.

no longer struggling so I release the binding of my gohei, allowing the shide to change back to normal size.

"Daijoubudesuka Reimu-san? Sorry, I'm late, finally found it." He taps the side of the Guns.

So that's what's in the cases. Weapons, where did he get that? Probably Yukari, she always takes what she likes without permission, but now she stole weapons from the outside world military!? The nerves...!

...!?

He suddenly points it at me and-

"Get Down!"

*BANG!*

[Lee ?. 1st pov]

She crouches down and I shoot! Golza was running straight at us, but this time, with the big boys loading with Burst Shot, I blasted a round on him! It works even better than I'd hoped. Blown away part of the armor with each shot! damage, and halt his advance.

I shoot at him a few more times, ignoring the loud gunshot, but I'm not sure about Reimu.

Nevertheless, I see that Reimu took out some kinda card. Whatever you're doing, take him down, Reimu-san!

Of course, I have faith in her, I got the chance to witness her fight earlier.

"Holy Relic: Yin-YangKishinOrb!"

I watch as she gathers spiritual energy, forming in her hand a blue glowing Yin-Yang orb.

Reimu ran toward Golza with her technique and I gave her covering fire to keep him distracted.

When she's right in front of him, Slam the glowing orb to his chest, it then grows bigger and pulls him away, dealing damage all the way until it hits one of the large boulders and...!

*BOOM!*

...

No one can survive that crap.

...

"... Well, it's over now. Doesn't seem like there's any other hiding around... Reimu-san...?"

"... ... ..." No response.

"Reimu-san...? Reimu."

"Huh? Oh yeah, no more skull mask weirdo, that's good." She's thinking something, definitely the enemy, it has been two years since they first came, I guess she's just surprised to encounter them here of all places. I too didn't expect them to come for me so quickly.

Speaking of the enemies, is this really their Kaiju form? they can transform Into a suit of armor, could it be the same as the Ultra Gear? Kaiju Gear. Or is it a first state kinda thing? Either way, they haven't fully transformed into their Kaiju form yet, why is that? I don't know, but maybe if they fully transform they will lose their human flesh disguise and that will make it difficult for them to get close to a human target.

Although their behavior might have already made that hard, not speaking or can't, behaving like a beast.

"... Reimu-san, I'll go to check if they're still alive. We may get some information about who they are and why they attack us. Please cover me." Still need to keep in character, I don't want her to be more suspicious of me.

"H-Hai..." a short response, I don't like to keep her in the dark, but it can't be helped...

I carefully move to Melba's unconscious body, bits and pieces of the armor, bullet holes, and losing one of the wings.

...!?

I quickly backflip when sensing something coming at me at full speed!

I was about to shoot, but stopped when I saw the objects.

It was a Broom, and riding on it was a Girl.

A girl in a witch outfit.

She dressed in what seems like a white and black German Dirndl dress, consisting of a black vest with gold buttons and a skirt, a white waist apron and undershirt, and a big black witch hat with a white bow. Black fingerless gloves, and knee boots.

She also seems to be in her seventeenth. long blonde hair reaches to her waist, a small braid to the left of her side locks with a little white ribbon. Brown almost Yellow eyes color, full of life and mischievous in them.

I'm just your friendly any day Ordinary Magical Girls, Ze~!

...

I would say that she seems like a cute girl but...

...

Yare yare deZe!

I've found ya!

... I got a bad feeling about this...

"Who are you and why did you attack me? I have a gun and you have a... Broom." Got to keep my cool it seems.

She looks at me with those mischievous yellow eyes.

"Ahh. You dodge that? Thought I have ya there for a second, you must be skilled to dodge my Super Speed Kirisame Witch Leyline Magic Broom Attack!" That's a mouthful attack name, just gotta call it Witch Leyline...

"Just follow my gut feeling and You haven't answered my question, any particular reason to attack me?" I lowered the gun, trying to sound less threatening. She's not a Revenant, I don't want to fight a human or a witch.

"Pff. Yeah right, playing dumb aren't ya, I know it was you who say those things, not only did you question my existence but also insulting my look." She points a finger at me and accused me of something I don't know.

"What did I do? What did I say? I Didn't even know you." This is getting nowhere if she doesn't answer me. I still have a job to do.

"Need a reminder numbskull? Well, how 'bout this, 'Make me wonder if there will be a real Witch, heh, I can already imagine an ugly bald head, green skin, long nose. wearing all in black and a pointy cap. riding on a dirty old-looking bloom'... there, ring the bells? Ze" ... She even tries mimicking my voice...

...

Was zum Teufel???

How is that possible? I know that was my fun thoughts in regards to a witch appearance, but she couldn't have known that.

"Oooh... ... ...Sorry?"

"Sorry isn't enough! Do I look like a Baldhead, Green skin, and long nose to you!? I didn't care much about fashion, but I'm still a Girl! And a Girls have to take care of her looks! (Even though I haven't done that for some time.)" ... This is harder than I thought, it didn't make sense...

"Okay okay, I'm sorry about that, didn't plan for it to be like this. What can I do to apologize?" Need to solve this problem quickly.

"Be my Servant!"

"Pass."

"My Pat!"

"Reject."

"My test subjects!"

"Refuse."

This Is going on a bit longer, and I'm sure Reimu said something about Baka.

"Sigh. Well, since you won't admit that it was your fault for calling me ugly, there's only one fitting punishment for a guy like you." I never called you ugly and didn't I apologize earlier?

"Alright fine, let's get this over with, give me your best shot." She can do what she wants, a punch to the face, shoot me with magic, or even a kick to the fatherland apple tree, I don't care anymore, just get this over with. Got more important things to do.

But she has something else in mind.

"Oh, I'm not gonna punch, blast, or kick You."

"Huh? You won't? What a relief."

...

But my relief was rudely crushed when I looked at her expression. It says…

Well Now, You Know What Time It Is?

No, and I certainly don't want to… Oh, Gott…!

She took out a really suspicious-looking mushroom.

No good...!

:-D

8[CENSORED(D

Oh, Mein Gott!!! Nein!

She points that thing at me!

"Want to know what it'll feel like when you suck it hard~?" Hölle Nein! Am not into that stuff!

"It's just a mushroom but I'm sure it'll take you Higher~" like Hölle it is! And

don't use that lines in this situation!

"I'm your friendly Ordinary Witch Marisa kirisame, Let go Ze~" Nein! Stay away from me You Mushroom maniac!

[3rd pow]

With the two now... possibly friends??? The Witch flies on her broom and chases our Boy running a circle around the tree. All this happen while our poor Shrine Maiden stared dumbly at the Idiotic display, wonder whatever to interfere or not.

However, they seem to have forgotten about two certain mask wearers and beat-up individuals.

...

Under the crumbled, where Golza is buried, purple fire burning under the crumbles as well as the sound of haunting spirits came from it.

Sensing a sudden rise of dark malicious energies, everyone stops fooling around and looks at the source.

On the side of Melba's unconscious body, a purple blaze suddenly ignited, bathing his body in fire, but he stands up and turns to face them.

Everyone feels nervous from what they're witnessing. The fire burns and melts away not just his armor but also his body, flesh, muscle, inner organ, all the while not letting out a single cry of pain.

everything is burned to nothingness, not even ashes, until only a pitch-black skeleton and the mask remains.

Then, a bloody red orb appears in the rib cage, it let out a haunting moan of curse spirit.

The skeleton started to break apart, then reshape, growing bigger in size and arranged in different positions.

When all the bone is in place, the mask merge into their skull. the orb then generates organic, muscle, flesh, and skins.

Finally, the transformation was complete. The blaze then gathered a large amount of energy, about to...!

Lee eyes wide, knowing danger!

"Everyone, take Cover! It's gonna Explode!"

The girl did at he told and the three hide behind the tree and brace themself for the-

*KABOOMMM!!!*

Keep their head down from the blast, kicking the wind and sending dirt and rock flying anywhere.

...

Lee takes a peek from his cover when it seems to quiet down a bit.

The dust and smoke have cleared, and there he is, revealing his or its true forms.

It looks like a cross between a bird and a dragon. Its skin was mostly red and grey. Its feet are a club, devoid of any toes and also very muscling, on its knee is a single nail? Claw? Can be used for a painful knee strike. A pair of dangerously sickle claws for hand. Dragon wing connects to the shoulder. A tail with a blade on the ends. Grey armor-like skin covered its stomach, torso, and long neck. A hard and sharp beak, glowing yellow eyes.

[Lee ?. 1st pov]

There's no doubt about it, that is Melba, the Sora o Kirisaku Kaiju.

How did I know again? Another question for another time.

*Rumblingggg!!!!*

The ground suddenly shook violently! Something big is coming up from underground!

"Shatter!" I gave command again and the girl followed, even though nobody put me in charge.

Digging itself out of the grounds reveals another Kaiju.

This one is more dinosaurian in nature. Its body is a mass of muscle and steel, its arm and leg are dark blue, strong muscle and sharp claws on hand and feet. A strong tail. Hard metallic Armour protects its stomach, chest, shoulders, and from neck to head, leaving only an angry red lizard face, jaw with powerful fangs. Mad white eyes.

Golza, the Daichi o Yurugasu Kaiju. So it's not dead from Reimu attack.

However, two things differentiate them from their original counterparts.

Which is, they are small, they're still at least 8 ft tall and must have weighed at least 2.000 pounds, but that's nowhere near as massive as their original giant self.

Why is that? I don't know, but That's a relief, I can't imagine having to fight them in their full sizes, that's just unfair.

The second difference is that the two of them have a red orb local on their chest, vines its root into their flesh. like the Ultraman's stone, for what purpose the orb service other than transforming them hasn't yet been known.

"Wha-What the Zell!? How did they do that!? What kinda magic is this!? The hell is going on Ze!?" Marisa asks random questions from shock and surprise.

Reimu also has a shocked expression, she doesn't expect to encounter them and most likely never witness their transformation, meaning most or none as all people here know about the Revenant could disguise themselves in human forms.

"Roaring!!" Golza let out an angry roar, gathered energy to its forehead, and fired its Ultrasonic Ray!

...!

"Moved!" I yell and we move away from the attack.

Heavy Machine Gun!

*Ratatatatatatatat!*

"Come on! You want me, right!? I'm over here you oversized lizard!"

"Lee!?"

Running and shooting at the mad lizard, I try to get its attention, leaving the girl and letting them take airborne.

Melba growled, spreading its wings, and took off the air.

It comes after the girls, but I can't help them now, Golza right behind my back. I cross alternatives between the tree, trying to make an obstacle for it, but with its armor and brute strength, it easily breaks through and smacks anything in its paths.

When it was close enough, I fired a flashbang to its face, blinding it for a moment.

"Growling!?"

...

Hide under the tree for a bit and regain my breathing.

"Pant pant pant... Tsh Dammit...! Only five rounds left, not good."

Even my Slam Dunk didn't do much good against it anymore.

I take a look at the girl's positions. They've engaged Melba in a dog fight right now, Reimu shooting those Japanese talismans of her, Marisa shooting her star shape magic, and Melba firing rapid Melbanic Ray.

The girls constantly fired their magic at It, but like me, are less effective against its Kaiju form. Melba tanks the attack head-on gets in close and tries to hit them with its claw and beak, but with their small size, they can easily dodge that.

Still, I can't let them fight it alone, I got to help them, it's my responsibility now.

...

Maybe now is the time to do it.

...

I searched through my jacket and took out the Spark Lens.

...

"Here goes Nothing..."

*BREAK!*

"Roaring!"

...!?

I was about to pass the small red jewel on the handle, but Golza found me at the last second and ...!

[Reimu H. 1st pov]

I evaded a ray shot from the monster and counter shot it with explosives ofuda, but the wing monster took the attack head-on and ignored what little injuries we caused to it.

I look at Marisa and see that she hasn't brought out her mini-hakkero yet.

"Marisa! Why haven't you used the Hakkero!? Master Spark!?"

She dodges the attack and shoots green energy.

"You forgot!? I gave it back to Kourin after it broke two years ago! He's working to fix it and it should be done in a few more days with a brand new upgrade! I didn't expect to fight this weirdo here of all places!" She reminded me and threw some of her handmade explosive bottles.

*Boom! Boom!*

"Roaring!?"

It works better as the monster roaring in pain. I should prepare the card and stronger attack.

*BASH!*

"Arrrgh!"

My eyes widened when I heard a familiar voice yelling in pain.

I looked at the source and saw that the lizard monster gave him an energy fill headbutting, sending him flying, breaking through a small tree and painfully crashing his back against a bigger one!

Fallen face down injury and unconscious, the lizard slowly gaining on him...!

No good...!

"Marisa!"

"Yeah, I saw that, can you handle this guy for a bit while I do some Kirisame rescue?"

"Of course I can! Now go save him!"

"Okay Lover Girls~ I go save your Boyfriend then Ze~"

"Na-Nani!? He's not my -" I evaded a ray attack and didn't finish my sentence.

This stupid bird is getting on my nerves...!

"Kuso...! Kisama!" I swear, but I don't care anymore. This Bastard is going down...!

With a card in hand, I'm waiting for the right moments.

[3rd pov]

Melba must have thought it prey summit to it might as she stop moving and wait for death.

Wanting to grant her death wish and feed itself, it sped in, sharp beak pointing forward, ready to gut her like a fish!

Necessary Death Coming!

...!?

But right at the last moment before it hit her, her body suddenly break into countless pieces of amulets!

Confused at what's happened, it didn't notice the shattered talisman glowing blue with spiritual power, the amulet slamming itself in the Kaiju, making small explosions as well as electric shock, paralyzing it for a moment!

She reappears on its back, jumps up, flips upside-down, spinning her gohei crackling with energy down its unprotect back, 'til she reaches to its head and gives it a powerful axe kick to the head!

The damage it takes and dizziness from the kick, cause it to fall headfirst to the ground and bite the dirt!

Is a miracle it didn't break its neck from a fall.

Get its head out of the ground and shake its head to clean out the dizziness.

There Reimu, still on the air, took out a card for one of her special techniques.

"Divine Spirit: Fantasy Seal!"

A magic circle appears behind her, ten different color Orb of Light forming, with for a moment to change her orb.

Then launching! Fire at will!

...?

"...?" Its look up, its bird eyes pop out when seen ten colorful bombs drop on it.

The last thought it had before the inevitable explosion was...

(Oh Scheiße)

KABOOM!!!

...

No one can survive this crap, right?

Right???

[Not far from the explosion] [Marisa K. Pov]

}:-D

Tis But A Scratch!

...

Hello... ? Is this thing on? Am I all alone? Is anyone there?

I need a Bigger Broom!

[Unknown space] [Lee ?. pow]

...

... I'm back here again, in the temple of Light.

This time there isn't anyone, just me.

There's a holographic screen in front of me, showing the battle that're currently takes place.

Reimu was powerful enough to take down Melba and mortally wound it.

That Marisa Kirisame girl, despite the circumstances of our meeting, now risks the danger in battle against Golza and leads it away from me. I'm grateful for her to do all that and if it could be, I want us to be Friends.

...

But...

All this happened while I saw myself lying on the ground, broken and probably breaking his back.

Again.

...

... I'm so pathetic... am I really supposed to fight a war when I can't even stand up from just that one attack? While everyone else is fighting with all they got and protecting my useless body?

How am I supposed to be a hero of justice when I can't even protect my friend and be the one that needs protection?

Has it all been a mistake?

Am I truly worthy of the Light Tiga gave me...?

...

...? Huh? The temple is gone? I'm...

In a greenhouse?

What's going on? Why am I in a greenhouse...?

...

...Mmm ... it's quite relaxing though, different types of trees and flowers, some I did not recognize, but the combined scent of different flowers produced a pleasurable smell and gave a sense of comfort.

I close my eyes and enjoy it a bit longer.

...

I sense a presence behind me, but not in a threatening way, I turn to face them.

Is was a human man

He seems to be in his early thirty but still looks quite young, wearing a simple white Japanese farming outfit, dark brown hair, and eyes showing only kindness in them. A gentle and fatherly smile.

To others, he may seem like a kind and friendly gardener.

But to me, he gave an unmistakable aura, one that I know for sure.

"Urutoraman Tiga? You're... human, how...? What is this place? Where are we...?" I ask a question like a child again, there something about him just makes me feel that way.

"Yes, this is the human form I have taken during my time in Xenoah, I'm working with Xenoahian at one of the head designers of the Tigar gears, few know of my true identity." He doesn't mind my childish questions and answers them calmly.

He places a hand to his heart in remembering something, something heartwarming perhaps?

"This is also the form of one of my previous hosts as well as my one-time Reincarnation, he has fulfilled his destiny and lives his last day as a human man. Even till this day, I hold on to his memory and honor his great deeds."

Previous host and even reincarnation? Must be a very great person to have fulfilled his duty as an Ultraman, make me wish I could meet the real him and see to his wisdom.

"As for this place, it is something that belongs to You, a part of your memory. Perhaps when you are depressed about something, you've unknowingly unlocked that part of your memory, remembering the thing that brings you comfort."

Unconsciously unlocked my memory? All I did was think about how useless I am and then suddenly remember a greenhouse that brings me comfort?

Maybe if I thought about something or someone a bit harder.

...

Nothing.

Nothing at all, feels like a photo covered in black ink, no matter how hard I try to clean the ink, it won't go away.

Wait! There is something though.

It didn't work when I thought about my family, friends, siblings, mothers, which are all covered in ink.

But when I thought of fathers, even though he's too, was covered in ink from my mental albums, I can only think of Tiga's in place of him.

Or, has it always been Tiga all along? The last word he said to me before I came to Gensokyo was...

...

"... ... ... Tiga... about what you said earlier... Does that mean... We're... ... ..."

...

I can't finish the sentence, I won't dare, what if I was wrong and only hypothesize myself in thinking that way?

I just want someone, someone to connect me to my past life, and Tiga seems to be that someone.

... but if I was wrong, then I'll not remember anyone, not knowing anyone who can show me the way back home. Not knowing if there is anyone to welcome me home...

...

Tiga seems to read my thoughts entirely, but remains silent, I'm really appreciate that.

shook his head and sadly smiled, he spoke.

"Sadly I'm afraid that will have to be for another time, when you are ready in both body and mind, when the time is right, I will tell you everything, but now is not that time. For you have other important matters that require your attention now."

...!

When he finished the sentence, it suddenly reminded me of something important!

He's right, what the hell am I doing!? Sitting here and drowning myself in self-pity while my friend is fighting to the death!?

I looked back at the holograph screen and saw the current situation.

Marisa is exhausted from the continued battle, her movement is limited and Golza nearly got her a few times.

Then there is Melba, with a heavily wounded body has entered what Yukari describes at Berserk Mode, purple blaze just like the one that appears when it transforming, increased Melba's strength, speed, power, and acting like an Anti-Material defend field that burn away any projectile Reimu fire at it.

Reduce to nothingness, not even ashes, imagine what will happen when that blaze hits a human.

"That is the blaze of Abgrund, its origin is unknown to us but it's was a pure evil and corrupted spiritual fire that can reduce everything to nothingness, leaving not even ashes, it a common abilities use by Kriegsherren and their masters, few Revenant can receive this power but their body will break down and share the same fate."

I focus my attention on Melba and Tiga was right, even with its wound, I can see that its body slowly but surely breaking apart, like a suicide last resort technique to kill as many enemies as possible before dying.

Madness...!

"Fortunately, we Ultra was born with a natural energy field that can resist against the fire, an ability we have also added to the Ultra Gear, both Original and Mass-products. With this, you can come in contact with the blaze without being burnt for a limit of time and energy."

That's all I need to hear.

"Tiga! I have to go, my friend needs my help! Please, give me the Gear! The power of Light! This time, I will not fail! No more hesitation, I will fight!" That right, I'm done with self-pitying, pulling my own fear aside, and worrying about the past later. Now I must fight and become stronger, for the world, the people, my friend.

Be a Hero of Justices!

Tiga transforms into his Ultra form in human size.

"Then Go my chosen one, Go and let the Light of your heart shine and dispels the sorrow, pain, and despair of others, Be the Light that guides their way in this time of darkness, Be the Hero of Justices you was always meant to become."

("BE ULTRA!")

...

[Reimu H. 1st Pov]

Tsh! This is getting nowhere! I try all I could to the now insane Bird, but the purple fire keeps reducing all my ofuda and tears through the barriers. I haven't used any close contact technique yet, I feel that it's far too dangerous to touch, I have to remain a distance!

"He-Hey! Where do you think you're going!? I'm right here Ze! Hellooo!?"

...!?

That Marisa's voice, what is she doing!?

I take a quick look at her position, she tries to get the armor lizard's attention but to no avail, maybe it's realized how pointless it is to try and cease a flying target and switch its attention to...!

Lee! How could I forget about him!? He's still unconscious from that attack earlier and now defenseless!

Evading a shot from the birds, I try flying to him but the bird keeps getting in my way, preventing me from helping my friends!

Not good! Not good at all!

[3rd Pov]

Golza slowly gains on the unconscious young man, gathering energy to its forehead and fire ray at our hero!

"Oh no, you don't!"

But the Ordinary Witch has come in time and performed a barrier to deflect the beam!

The Ultrasonic Ray clashing with her barriers, causing a flash that blinds everyone!

With her untimely blindness and the barriers crack, Golza changed in...!

"Oh Crap!"

*SMASH!*

"Aaaaah!" Golza smashes the barrier to piece with its tail attack!

The attack also hit Marisa, but thankfully her, even crack, barrier has managed to absorb the otherwise life-threading attack, but it sends her flying and hits the tree! Her broom is somewhere else.

The ancient Kaiju grinning victory, making its way to the down magician, seeking to claim her Seelen and bring it to its masters!

[Reimu H. 1st pov]

Oh god, No...!

I have to save her!

I fly to her as quickly as I can! The lizard is closing up to her, intending to finish her up while she's down!

...!?

I evade the ray attack and look back to see that the wing monster is coming at me with an unexpected increase in high speeds!

Not good! It tries to prevent me from reaching the other, the lizard down there is standing in front of her now!

"Oh No! Marisa!"

"Roar!"

...!?

From behind!? when did it...!? the Kaiju speeding up tried to crash into me with its evil fire-filling body...! I can't avoid It in time...!

This it is...!?

...

Suddenly, everything seems to slow down.

...

I start seeing flashbacks of my past...

of how I first took up the duty as a Hakurei Shrine Maiden, the first Incident I've solved, how I have created the spell card system to lower the bloodshed between humans and Yokai.

Many more incidents happen and I solve it all, and with all the hardships and accomplishments, I have met many different people and become friends with some, even youkai. I may act like I'm annoyed by this development, but I'm actually very glad to have met people like them.

...

There is one thing I wish to know though.

I never knew who my parents were, or rather I did, but it has been for so long that I can no longer remember their face or their name. One day they just left and never came back, leaving me all alone in the shrine...

I don't know whether to feel resentful about this or not, they must have their reason, but it didn't stop the painful feeling of loneliness for so many years.

But still, I wish to know them again, to know the ending of their fates...

...

But... I can't do that now, I'm going to die here, by the same kind of bloodthirsty otherworldly monster, they're not here to follow any spell card rule, they're here to kill and kill, without mercy, they'll kill Marisa, my friend.

they'll kill Lee.

Lee... is that even his real name? I wanted to know who he really is, how he can give me this warm feeling like no one ever does, a feeling that's so unknown yet so familiar, from a very long, long time ago. From who it is that made me feel like this before? I can't remember.

And I will never now, for it all gonna end here...

(Hah, Don't be so assured, I didn't know you can be so overreacting, you'll not die today.)

My eyes wide open when a voice, a voice that has become familiar, spoke to me in my head!?

(is it not like you to be so down Reimu-san, where's the greedy shrine maiden threatened to marry me off and force me to build her a castle?)

There's no mistaking it, it's his Voice!

"Lee!? Where are you? What's going on? How did you...!?" I'm so confused, what is going on!? Why did I hear his voice in my mind?

(Reimu... until now I haven't been truthful to you and I'm sure you know that as well. But this time, I won't hide anymore. When this is over, I will tell you everything, so don't worry.)

"Lee...? Who are you...?"

(Don't be afraid, Reimu... I'm here now, you won't be alone anymore, do you know why?)

"Why...?"

My surroundings start warming up, No longer feeling the dead cold of this time stopped space.

(Because I am...!)

"TIGAAAA!"

...!?

[3rd pov]

The sudden shouting of Tiga's name followed by the sound of lightning strikes has brought her back to reality.

Melba's still there and about to strike her down, but with renewed resolve, at the last second, before it reaches her, she uses her natural-born special abilities to float out of reality and effectively avoid the attack without a scratch.

Then before the berserk Kaiju could realize what happened, a ball of Light shiny as the sun, slammed into Melba, catch and drag it down with it before roughly throw it down to the ground!

The small sun isn't done yet, it's flying down to Golza with an incredible speed!

Golza, with its soon-to-be victim, raises its claw high, about to drive the killing blow, grinning bloodthirsty while completely oblivious to the speeding Light coming from behind.

*THUNK!*

...

...!?

...? Confused, It strikes down the killing blow, expecting to see the blood and gut of the little Witch and feel her Seelen energy absorb into its core, but there is nothing, not a single drop of blood.

It looks around to find its target.

Until its eyes laid on the small Sun.

Or rather, a person bathing in golden Light, the Light so bright that we cannot make out the person's features.

Marisa regains her consciousness, feels that she is being carried by someone in princess style, she slowly lays her eyes to see her 'Knight in Shining Armor' and...

Ohhh...! how Shining His Armor is.

"Ze…???"

The only thing missing is the Ride.

Then the Light dispels, revealing a three-color set of armor, with mostly red from the waist down and more purple to the chest and arms. Silver to the feet, knee, abdomen, shoulder pad, arm, and hands. a U silver and goldcrest with a blue crystal on his chests, his helmet was all sliver, mouth guard, a backward fin, a green jewel on the forehead, yellow eyes piece.

He gently sits her down on the ground, she can only stare in awe and wonder.

The first thought that came to her mind was...

(Where's the white horse with wings and horns, rainbow mane and tail? Pretty need one right now ~Ze)

("Daijoubu desu, Kirisame-san? Sorry, you had to protect my butt while I was sleeping, but this time, I'll return the favor.") His voice sounds a bit different because of the helmet, but she can still recognize his voice.

She only nods, still quite shocked by this development.

is the voice of the dude she tries to shove the 'censored' Mushrooms in the butt, she wasn't actually serious about that, just wanted to tease the cute boy.

Or Does she...?

Anyway, let not ruin this awesome moment.

Golza's growling angrily, it recognizes that form from anywhere, from the time of its great ancient ancestors to the day it remembers the three-color Bastard broke its back and threw it in the volcano.

Revenge!!

He turned to face the angry Kaiju, already knowing what it wanted, and felt more than happy to do the same.

Is PayBack time!

("Come on then! I show you the power of Light, the Light of a great warrior has entrusted me, to use this power and fight for Justice, Freedom, and Peace! You and whatever wicked plan your Master has for this world will all be fruitless, for I am here to stop your evil deems, I am here to dispose of the darkness and despair you will bring to this world, I am here to protect the Life and Smile of the people,")

("Because I am...!")

Watashi wa,

Tigar!
