Chapter 13 - The Confession
Tokyo
"Does that really matter? Now help me to get rid of these pests!" - Said the driver removing his helmet for the shock of Aoi and Souji
"Impossible is you!" - Aoi
"Yuki... I-is it you?!" - Said both Kusanagi Brothers as the woman removes her helmet showing the face of not other but Yuki Kushinada but there was something different about her, sporting some scars on her face and with a large brown hair.
"It's Kushinada for you! And frankly, I wouldn't be helping you two because you're both from the Kusanagi clan of this world if this girl here hadn't explained to me what the hell this place was where she came from stop after following the strange movement the three clans were doing the last few days in my world." - Says the woman
"Yuki! Please you have to excuse her for her way she answered. She's been through alot in her life, she is not always this angry... Only when it comes to the three clans and-" - Tsuki
"Can you shut up! Is not the time for sentimentalism." - Yuki
"(This woman is nothing like the Yuki we knew about. In fact she reminds me of certain Yagami.)" - Thought Aoi looking at this Yuki
"Thanks for your help, but we need to finish quick with them. I have the feeling Kyo could be in trouble." - Souji
"What happened to Kyo?" - Tsuki
"He went to see if his friends were alright, hasn't returned." - Aoi
"Kyo?!" - Asked the Yuki from Earth-3
"You two are by any chance referring to this Kyo as being the Kyosuke's version of this world, is that it?" - Yuki
"Eh? Yes, Kyo is our cousin." - Souji
Hearing this, the Yuki from Earth-3 starts gritting her teeth. In her palm she creates a purple flame feeling anger, she can't help but exclaim the following
"THAT DAMN SCOUNDREL!" - Yuki
"If only that damn Kyosuke wasn't in prision. I would had killed him!" - Yuki
"(Damn, is this girl a Yagami instead of a Kushinada?)" - Asks Aoi in her mind confused
"I really hope, for his own safety that this Kyo you two speak about isn't anything like that piece of dirt Kusanagi that I knew. Because if that's the case, I'll tear him apart!" - Yuki
"Listen, Yuki? Kyo might be a headstrong idiot but he isn't a criminal or a piece of dirt like you call him. So I would appreciate if you calmed down!" - Aoi
"They there are!" - More members of the Kusanagi from Earth-3 appear
"Well it seens we will be busy before we can catch with Kyo." - Souji
As the Kusanagi, Earth-3's Yuki and Tsuki fight with the Kusanagi from earth 3. A strange crow stares at them from the top of a nearby building
"Well this is most unusual. A version of the Kushinada girl from that other earth with purple flames, and that Kusanagi girl. The cousin of Kyo Kusanagi, I can feel dormant Orochi blood inside her. But how she got it? The only explanation would be if she had made a pact... Perhaps? This girl could certainly be useful for me." - Comments the strange shadow watching the fight in the eyes of the crow
Meanwhile
"So? What are you going to say? Heheheh. Come on! A lady can't wait for an answer forever, Kusanagi." - Says Athenea staring at Kyo
"I would prefer to die than become your slave!" - Screams Kyo looking directly at Athenea's eyes.
"Hmph!" - Athenea is visible upset at the answer
"That's a shame, because I'll turn you into my slave wherever you like it or not!" - Athena uses her powers to bring a traffic signal close to her
"But first I'll finish you off and then I'll enjoy rearranging that mind of yours to be a submissive little puppy." - Athenea lifts the sharp traffic signal with all the intention of finish Kyo off
As Athenea smashes the signal on the Kusanagi, Kyo manages to roll to the right dodging the attack with him hitting Athenea getting up quickly forcing her to drop the signal
"So much for holding back against your supposed friend..." - Says Athenea cleaning her blood from her face as she gets up looking at Kyo
"(I don't know how I'm going to make Athena return, but I can't give up... Not matter what happens.)" - Kyo
As Kyo and Athenea continue fighting in the streets. Unknown to them a floating strange shadow is watching this from the parking lot of Kagura enterprises.
"Feeling tired, Kyo?" - Athenea kicks Kyo sending him to crash against a car, Kyo impacts with said car making the crystal of the windows fall
Kyo falls to his knees, but for Athenea's surprise he decides to get up going back to his fighting stance
"It seens like that wasn't enough... Oh how I'll enjoy turning your flames off." - Athenea and Kyo run at each other with both interchanging more hits between each other.
"Ahhh..." - Kensou wakes up with him hearing Athenea and Kyo's fight, he sees Master Chin standing some meters alongside him with a worried look.
"Master, what is going on?" - Kensou
"Kensou. You're awaken!" - Chin
Kensou slowly gets up, his vision clears up with him recognizing the figures in the distance as Athena and Kyo fighting.
Kensou remembers what had happened some moments ago with the evil Athenea quickly knocking him out taking him by surprise alongside Benimaru.
"Kyo? Kyo is fighting against Athenea?" - Kensou
"Kyo arrived some hours ago, but it seens even he is struggling with her." - Chin
"Argh!" - Kyo is hit by a devastating combination of punches and kicks by Athenea
"Give up, Kusanagi. If you keep up, this place will become your grave!" - Athenea
"I'm not gonna give up, I won't let you get away with stealing her body. You hear me!" - Kyo grabs his injured arm and breathing he ignores the pain going into his fighting stance stance again
"You're more stubborn than I thought. I'll give you that. But I want you to get this in that cute little head of yours... She is gone! Forever! Don't waste your breath trying to call her, in fact don't waste your energies trying to win this. You have no chance against a goddess, you stupid worm!" - Athenea
"You're not a goddess! You're just a deranged woman... The real Athena wouldn't let the power get to her head so quickly." - Kyo
"The real Athena is weak! A loser who helds back to not hurt anybody... Her concern for others is what makes her weak. True strenght lies in conquering fear! I have die already, Kusanagi. A brat like you isn't a big threat for a goddess like me!" - Athenea
Kyo and Athenea continue their fight with Kyo trying to attack Athenea only for her to dodge his attacks. Athenea kicks Kyo in the chin with her knee. Kyo is sended to the air only for Athenea to appear in the air punching Kyo back to the ground. She reappears in the ground to stop Kyo's fall with her leg making Kyo fall on her foot
"Are you having fun, Kyo?" - Athenea tosses Kyo to the ground. Kyo gets up looking at Athenea with a burning fury
"I can see it in your face, you want to tear me apart but at the same time you're doubting in it, it is because you know that if you hurt me, you would be hurting her too?" - Athenea
However for the surprise of Athenea, Kyo gets up again. With him cleaning the blood on his mouth. He and Athenea look at each other again. With none of the two having any intention to give up not matter what happens.
"(Kyo will need some help, I can't stand here doing nothing! I can hear the concern in his voice.)" - Thinks Kensou
Without advice, Kensou moves out, running to where Athenea and Kyo are.
"KENSOU!" - Screams Master Chin seeing his pupil running to the fight
"(My body hurts like hell! But I can't let that stop me, I must help Kyo. I must help him to save Athena!)" - Kensou
"(Kyo... You always knew how to steal the show... Not matter what I do, you always have to steal the spotlight.)" - Kensou thinks about Kyo as he runs towards where he and Athenea are standing
"(I remember when I first fought against you. You defeated me easily, it was embarrasing. Months of training only to loss to you. I was feeling like I could do anything and then you appeared to pull me out of my cloud. You even stole Athena and Master Chin's attention. I admit it, when I meet you at first I hated you with a burning passion. But then even you offered me your friendship, it was weird. I wanted to surpass you but slowly you accepted me in your world. We started up developing a friendship bond, my hate towards you started to disappear.)" - Kensou
"(Hey Kensou!)" - Kyo
"(Yes.)" - Kensou
"(What do you say if we skip the next class and we go to this cool new place that opened yesterday?)" - Says Kyo in a sincere tone
"(I don't know, Kyo.)" - Kensou
"(Oh come on, I know you hate Mr. Yoshitora's class as much as I.)" - Kyo
"(Hehehe. You know what, sure! Why not? We can always ask Athena and Yuki to let us borrow their notes from Mr. Yoshitora's class.)" - Kensou accepts the offer
Kensou and Kyo skip class going into this place.
"(I was always to stubborn to admit it. But I admired you deep down. I wanted to be like you, even seeing how someone like Shingo was inspired by you made me feel jealous. I can't stay with my arms crossed. I can't allow you to take on this challenge to bring Athena back alone, after all. You're my friend!)" - Kensou
Athenea backs off after blocking one of Kyo's attacks. She clashes her palms with a strange chain made out of Psycho power appearing. She tosses the chain trapping Kyo with it
"(Damn it! This chain is too powerful. I can't free myself.)" - Kyo struggles
"You put a good fight but now is over. Once you fall, I'll get rid of that persistent mind of yours and you will be my slave..." - Athenea creates a giant ball of chi with the intention to finish with Kyo
"Take this!" Athenea fires her Crystal Shoot at Kyo
As Athenea fires her shoot. A strange sphere of energy counters her attack with her crystal shoot hitting her back, almost as if someone had tossed it back at her.
"What?!" - Athenea is unable to reaction as she is sended to crash against a light post.
"(She was sended back.)" - Kyo sees Kensou was the one who stopped the attack as the psychi energy chains disappear from his body.
"Ah. Ah. Hey, Kyo!" - Kensou pants looking back at Kyo
"Kensou... " - Kyo
"Come on, don't act as if you were staring at a ghost. We need to form a plan, to make her leave Athena's body." - Kensou
"Hmph! On that I can agree." - Kyo and Kensou see a shadow approaching from the dust left by both attacks clashing
"Hehehehehe... Hahahahahah!" - Athenea laughs coming from the dust cloud
"So it was you, Kensou. Who appeared in the last minute to help Kyo." - Athenea
"How funny! I would had imagine you would let him to die. Seens I was wrong." - Athenea
"Of course! I wasn't gonna let you get away with this. I won't let you hurt my friends!" - Kensou
"Hehehe... You're either to brave or too stupid. Why even fight for someone who doesn't even loves you?!" - Athenea
"..." - Kensou stays in silence.
Kyo looks back at Kensou.
"I don't need to say it, right? You know it, admit it. Not matter what you do, that inferior counterpart of mine will always see you as a friend, a brother even but not a man." - Athenea
"..." - Kyo stays in silence hearing this, he realizes Kensou is looking down. The lack of answer from him draws a smile on Athenea's face
"After all. You have never been able to compete with him!" - Athenea points at Kyo
"What do you mean?" - Kyo is confused
"Are you blind? Allow me to show you!" - Athenea uses her powers to show both Kyo and Kensou what the real Athena thinks about Kyo
"(Kyo... I see you're still hurt about Yuki leaving the country. You're doing your best to try to hide the pain. But I can see it. It hurts me seeing you like that, I wish I could do something to cheer you up. I wish I could fill the void left by Yuki. You have always been good with me... I wish I could tell you what you mean to me... I-I wish I didn't had to hide this feelings for you. I wish I had the courage to say it, that I love you! But at the same time I don't want to ruin the friendship we have. Somethings-Somethings are better hidden. Oh Kyo... I just hope you can recover from this. You will always have my support not matter what happens.)" - Athena's deep thoughts are heared in both Kyo and Kensou's minds
Kyo becomes shocked hearing this, he looks at the sinister smile of Athenea
"A-Athena..." - Says Kyo in a low tone
"..." - Kensou stays looking down
"Ah!" - Chizuru tries to hit May. The evil counterpart of Mai dodges Kagura's attacks enhanced by Orochi's powers
"(Chizuru, what is going on with you? I can see it from here. Even standing around is hurting you. It is because of Orochi's powers?)" - Thinks Mai seeing Chizuru's current state as she and Maki attack May
"(This woman is Yuki, there's no deny of that! But that dark aura of hers. I wonder what happened to her in her world to end up like this?)" - Thinks Aoi
"KUSANAGI!" - Screams Yuki as she hits one of the Kusanagi from Earth-3.
Yuki's pupils burn with hatred as a distant memory returns to her mind.
"(Kyosuke... Please don't do this!)" - Begs Yuki as Kyosuke Kusanagi strangles her dad
"(Kyosuke?)" - Asks Yuki in a shy tone to Kyo
"(What?)" - Kyosuke
"(Is there something between you and Athenea?)" - Yuki
"(No... She is just a friend.)" - Kyosuke
"(I wasted years of my life with you, damn Kyosuke! You killed my dad! You betrayed me! You and Athenea used me!)" - Yuki
"(Please, let me go! I will never come back to this place but don't hurt me!)" - Asks Yuki tied to both Athenea and Kyosuke
"(Is a shame our relationship didn't worked out, Yuki. We thought about getting rid of you. But Athenea thought that there was some use in someone like you!)" - Kyosuke moves as Athenea uses her psycho powers to brainwash Yuki, turning her into their personal servant for years. The servant of the Inferno Force
"(You two used me as your slave. Until you became bored of me, you sold me to the Yasakani. If it had not be for Mr. Yagami and Tsuki. I would still be their slave.)" - Yuki
"(Are you sure about this, Tsuki?)" - Asks Yuki being brought by Tsuki to see the current hosts of Orochi at the time, a woman named Shermie
"(Please, I know our god can help you to recover your memories. But you need to do a deal with her. Trust me! The deal is something that you need to do in order for him to accept you.)" - Say Tsuki
After thinking about it, Yuki is convinced by Tsuki to do a blood pact with Orochi from Earth-3. In exchange for this. Orochi makes Yuki recover her memories but apart from that Yuki's hands start to become engulfed in purple flames
"(I'm sorry your father scolded you for that, Tsuki.)" - Says Yuki
"(It doesn't matter. I'm happy you got your memories back. But you really have to go?)" - Tsuki
"(I don't like to go but I can't stay. Especially not with the Inferno Force still out there. I must stop them, I must avoid someone else from suffering what happened to me.)" - Yuki leaves the hideout of the Yagami
"(I wont rest until the Kusanagi have payed for their crimes!)" - Thinks Yuki
Meanwhile.
The silence dominates the area
"I know it must hurt. See this is why those useless emotions and bonds don't lead to any good. You must feel angry at hearing that." - Athenea smiles
"You're wrong!" - Kensou lifts his head
"Huh?" - Athenea
"I already knew about her feelings for Kyo ages ago!" - Kensou
Kyo opens his eyes looking at Kensou.
"And that was one of the reasons why I always wanted to prove myself against him. But even with that, even if she only sees me as her friend or a brother. I will still going to fight to save her from a pale imitation and a pathetic excuse of a woman like you!" - Kensou
"Hmph!" - Athenea
"You will never be like her, for your soul is rotten and corrupted. While her soul is pure and kind. And unlike her Athena isn't alone, she has friends who she can count. The emotions and bonds that you think are useless give us strenght. That's why you're alone on your own! That's why nobody cared when you died!" - Kensou
"Grrr... You really are screaming for me to snap that neck of yours, idiot! I'll send you to that place where I was stuck for months!" - Athenea creates five copies of herself out of psychic energy
"We shall see about it!" - Kensou clashes his palms. He screams of the top of his lungs as both Kyo and Athenea see the air becoming tense.
"(Kensou! Is this really you?)" - Kyo feels Kensou chi slowly increasing
"(That power! Impossible! How can this pathetic fool increase his chi so high?)" - Athenea
"(Is this the power of the dragon spirit?!)" - Ask Athenea with her eyes wide open
"AHHHHH!" - Kensou screams as a strange blue aura appears surrounding his body
He and Athenea clash looks
"Kyo?" - Kensou turns to see Kyo
"Are you ready to free Athena?" - Kensou
"Lets do it!" - Says Kyo with a confident smile
Both fighters run towards Athenea
Meanwhile
"Well it seens that was the last one." - Says Aoi seeing Yuki tying a couple of Kusanagi clan members
The sirens of the police are heared nearby
"Alright, we are done here. So how about you two take me where this Kyo is and what is going on for him to leave you two here." - Asks Yuki as she and Tsuki get on their bike
"Alright, for what he told us. His friends are at the south from here. Some kilometers away from here." - Aoi and Souji enter in their bike
As the four ride to where Kyo is. Some memories start to come to Yuki's mind.
2009
"(What made you think you were a match for me? Pathetic girl!)" - Says Maki Kagura punching Yuki as she fights alongside the resistance of Tokyo, Rugal and his adoptive daughter Blaze
"(That Kagura woman hits hard but I know my partners weren't having a good time against Iori Yagami. Yagami and Kagura where the only members of the Inferno force in this base. It made sense, tis hideout belonged to Kagura enterprises. So the chances of meeting with Kusanagi and Asamiya where slim but I had hope.)" - Yuki
"(The situation had become desperated at this point. The group of NESTS soldiers that had come with Blaze and Rugal was almost zero. They must have used the other exit. But me, Shion and Krizalid where trapped with them.)" - Yuki sees both Krizalid and Shion doing their best against Iori.
"(Get up worm! We aren't finished here. You think you can enter in my property and steal for me! I'll show you the tru power of the Yata clan!)" - Maki prepares to attack Yuki. But Shion jumps ignoring Yagami to protect Yuki using his spear to try to impale Kagura
"(Ha! Too slow!)" - Maki dodges Shion's attack. She and Shion interchange some hits with Yuki watching both
"(Is useless. If this keeps going those two bastards will kill the three of us. Blaze and Rugal managed to steal the power core of the plant. We just need to get out but they will do everything to stop us! Grrr... If only there was a way.)" - Yuki stops for a moment
"(That's it!)" - Yuki tries to attack Maki. Maki dodges boths attacks and using the powers of the Yata Mirror forces both Shion and Yuki to back off.
"(Now I see why Rugal warned us about this Yata woman! How are we going to beat her!)" - Shion
"(That's the thing, we can't!)" - Yuki surprises Shion with this answer
"(What?)" - Shion
"(Listen Shion. I want you to take Krizalid out of here. I'll buy you two time enough so you can escape, I'll take on both with this flames that Orochi gave me! I'll stop both!)" - Yuki
"(Are you out of your mind! We will get out of here!)" - Shion
"(NO! Listen to me, whatever it happens to me doesn't matter anymore. Just leave. Escape with Krizalid! You're more needed in the resitance than me!)" - Yuki grabs Shion from his shoulders. He gives him a part of what she could stole from the database of the Inferno force
"(... Are you sure?)" - Shion
"(Yes!)" - Yuki sees Shion closing his eyes. Just as Maki is about to strike both. He jumps back. Both Krizalid and him decide to get out of the base as Yuki blocks the exit for both Yagami and Kagura to stop them from following them
"(I know it was my end. But I didn't care about what could happened to me anymore. Fighting with both was almost like embracing death. Yet the only thing I could think as that Kagura woman pierced my chest was how I wish I could get revenge on both Kyosuke and Athenea!)" - Yuki tries her best against Yagami and Kagura. But her inexperience in fighting marks the clear winners with both Yagami and Maki not taking long to beat her. Both leave Yuki almost death on the exploding base
"(They thought I was dead. But I wasn't not. Both were worried about the self destruction. It was obvious that was the only reason they decided to leave me as death there. I barely managed drag myself to be able to escape out of there. I espended the next two years recovering from my mortal wounds.)" - Yuki
"(I was prepared to join the resistence again but I wasn't prepared to know Kyosuke was now on prision and Athenea had been killed.)" - Yuki
"(How I wish it had been me who had killed them!)" - Yuki
Meanwhile
Kensou and Athenea interchange some hits. Kensou manages to kick Athenea sending her back some meters as Kyo reunites with Kensou
"Ah. Your little increase of powers is impressive but not enough to scare me!" - Athenea
"Oh you have seen nothing!" - Exclaims Kensou moving his arms in circles with him creating a sphere of blue energy in front of him. The sphere is absorbed by Kensou with the strange blue aura becoming bigger as his pupils change.
"(You bastard! What the hell is this... Does that means he wasn't using the full power of the dragon spirit yet? How can this be?!)" - Athenea
Both Kyo and Chin cover their eyes from the light coming from the pilla of light that had envolved Kensou. Despite not saying it, both are surprised by how much have the chi of Kensou increse after this
"What the hell is going?" - Says Benimaru awakening looking at what was happening in the horizon
Yagami's temple - Previously owner by Roshi Yata
"ARGH!" - Bao feels a strange pain as he falls to his knees, with a strange bluish aura evenloping his body for everyone in the home's surprises.
"Bao!" - Kaoru
"What is going on?" - Asks the confused Shizuka Yagami
"I sense something wrong! Kensou, he is struggling using the power of the Dragon Spirit. I don't know what is going on. But something must had forced him to use the power of the dragon spirit. What was left of the power on my veins. Is hurting!" - Bao
"(Kensou... What is going on there?)" - Asks Kaoru as she comforts Bao
"ARGH!" - Screams the strange shadow watching the fight of Athenea vs Kensou and Kyo, as he grabs his head
"What is happening?" - Ask a woman of white hair approaching the strange man
"(This blue aura... Now I understand. After having stole the portion of the dragon spirit from that kid years ago. I'm connected to them... Now I see it. He has finally done it! He has awaken the true power of the dragon spirit!)" - Thinks the shadow staring with intesity at the three Kyo, Kensou and Athenea
The chi of the Dragon Spirit being finally let out makes everyone in Tokyo stop as they feel it in the air. A powerful chi coming from the south.
"(What is that?!)" - Exclaims the blonde woman using the crystal sphere in the park as the amazing chi is feeled for a second calling her attention
As the pillar of energy where Kensou had been disappears. Kyo is surprised to see him floating some meters from the ground. With his eyes closed and hair curling up.
"(I had never imagined Kensou had this power hidden in him... Is this the Dragon Spirit that Master Chin and Athena mentioned once?)" - Kyo
"(Impressive, Kensou! I knew you would be able to get it one day.)" - Thinks Master Chin
"(This can't be! How is possible this ridiculous and weak version of Kensou from this planet can manifest such power! What kind of bad joke is this?)" - Thinks Athenea looking at Kensou
"Kyo... I can feel it!" - Kensou
"..." - Kyo
"What do you mean?" - Asks Kyo confused and surprised
"I can feel the hearts and feelings of everyone around me! From the people hidding in the city, my friends like you, Shingo, Benimaru, Goro and Master Chin!" - Kensou
"Even hers!" - Says Kensou opening his eyes as his pupils glow with a light blue color
"I can feel Athena's heart beats and soul!" - Says Kensou surprising Kyo
"You mean she is alive?!" - asks Kyo
"You lied to us!" - Kensou points at Athenea
"You said she had died but she is still alive." - Both Kensou and Kyo stare at Athenea
"I can hear her cries for help! I won't forgive you for what you have done to her! You damn demon from hell!" - Kensou
"Are you delusional? She is dead and nothing you can do can bring her back! Just accept it!" - Athenea
"You are lying. She is alive and we will bring her back! Is time to do an exorcism!" - Kensou
"You might have impressed everyone around with this showcase of power. But you're still a worm to me! If you want to die so badly. I'll grant your request... Perhaps you two will join Athena in the aftelife!" - Athenea closes her eyes with her charging two pink and purple energy spheres on her hands. Similar to Kensou, Athenea's body envelops inside a pillar of energy with her coming out of the pillar differently
"Hehehehe! You're not the only one with a dormant power! I must admit it! Athena's potencial could surpass me but now all of her power is mine! Just imagine what I could do mixing my godly power with the one of the Dragon Spirit!" - Athenea
"Kensou, a stupid brat like you don't deserve the power of the Dragon Spirit. I'll rip it out of your corpse, you will regret the day you got in my way!" - Athenea's pupils become purple, an aura similar to a phoenix covers her body with lights of energy coming from her.
"I'll rescue Athena from your claws!" - Kensou
"Hahahah! There's no way I'm losing to a sentimentalist like you!" - Athenea launches to attack Kyo and Kensou
Earth-3
"I'm still unable to believe what happened to Tokyo on your world. Is almost like a hurricane had passed here?" - Says Saisyu looking at what was left of the city from the outskirts on Tokyo
"Well, believe it. We can all thank to those megalomaniacs from the three clans." - Shion
As Takuma, Toshio, Saisyu and the resistance from Earth-3 walk in the mountains. They see a strange tunnel in the distance
"Is that?" - Takuma
"Exactly! We find it! The only opening to those tunnels that we know about it. Our only ticket to enter in the mansion of the Yasakani without being seen." - Krizalid
"Hey, Botan! Can you hear me? We found the tunnel, is still intact. It seens the Yasakani are still not aware that this tunnels connect to the ones from their mansion." - Krizalid
"Good! I was afraid that they might have destroyed it or close it. But it seens they haven't realize this tunnel in the mountains connects to their mansion." - Botan
"Alright, Krizalid. You know the deal, use the blueprints I send to your NESTS scaner to move alongside the rest to the tunnels. Me and James will monitoring your moves." - Says Botan as she and Mr. Big put attention to the signal and camera in Krizalid's scaner
"Fine! You hear her! Lets move!" - Krizalid, Takuma, Shion, Zeus, Allen, Saisyu and Toshio enter in the tunnels. They see the decayed and lonely tunnel with some parts of it inside totally destroyed as earth and rocks cover their way. Krizalid and Zeus move the rocks out of the way.
"I hate closed spaces!" - Shion's claustrophia becomes more notorious as they go deep inside
"(I'm wonder how are things going in Tokyo with Ms. Kagura?)" - Asks Toshio as he and the rest move in the tunnels
Unknown to Toshio and co, two strange creatures walking in four legs have been alerted of their presence in the tunnels. Starting to follow them
Tokyo - 5:00 PM
"Ah. Ah. You're not bad, sister of Maki!" - May removes her gauntlet destroyed after attacking Chizuru
"..." - Chizuru looks silently at Mai's counterpart. Even moving her lips and mouth is becoming difficult for her. As the influence of Orochi finally has seen to take over. Chizuru's appearence is beyond human at this point with her entire hair sporting a white color, the facial features of the priest of the Yata had morph to look like those of Orochi, the pupils were white and strange marks like tattoos would be seen in her arms and chest thanks to the rips in her vest from the fight with May
"(Sister.)" - Maki
"What's wrong? Too tired to talk?!" - May stands up looking at Chizuru at her eyes
"..." - Chizuru
Suddenly May runs directing towards Chizuru
"(Is time to end this! I'll tear away her power, nobody will be able to stop me once I have her power in my hands... )" - Thinks May approaching Chizuru
"Die!" - May is about to hit Chizuru
"Huh?" - For May's surprise her fiery sharp fan is stopped by Chizuru with one hand.
"Enough of this!" - Chizuru uses the technique Ukei with the crescent upwards kick sending May to the air, this cuts May's chest for Mai, Yuri and Maki's surprises
"AHH!" - May is send to the air
Chizuru points two of her fingers at May, with a ray falling on her from the sky result of using the move Ho no Susori
May is electrocuted by the ray with her screaming as Chizuru stares at her with two defiant eyes. May's unconscious body falls on the ground
"Is she?" - Mai
"Chizuru defeated her like nothing!" - Yuri
"*Coughs*" - Chizuru falls to her knees, she coughs blood as Maki and the rest approach her
"Chizuru!" - King
"Sister, your mouth and nose is bleeding. We need to take you to an hospital!" - Maki
"I-I'm fine! We aren't done here yet! We left Elisabeth in the bridge... She needs our help!" - Says Chizuru in a strange voice full of a supernatural echo as she pulls a handkerchief to clean the blood from her mouth and nose. She stands up
"(Sister!)" - Maki is concerned about her
"(I wouldn't had imagine the power of the Dragon spirit existed here. In my world this power disappeared ages ago without a trace of it. We may have a chance to stop the three clans after all... But on the other side. Chizuru. Your soul is weakening, you're doing your best to stay alive but if this continues it may be too late... I'm so sorry.)" - Orochi
Unknown to Chizuru and the rest. A strange figure is watching them standing in the light post nearby
"(Chizuru... This is worse than I imagined. If only I could help you... If only I could give you my soul to avoid this awful truth... I don't want you to see you die!)" - Thought the strange Guard the Judge seeing the current state of Chizuru
Meanwhile
"AH-AH!" - Iori pants holding both purple flames in his hands as he stands in the street full of corpses of the Yasakani from Earth-3. Yagami stares at the sky as his eyes slowly return to normal
"Yagami!" - For Iori's surprise. Just as he thought he had been done with the Yasakani from Earth-3. More appear in a large group to fight with him
"You all are like cockroaches!" - Iori turns around
The Yasakani would approach Yagami. But suddenly
*Slassh* - A sound similar to a blade cut would be heared as two women would appear in front of Yagami

"No way!" - Andy
"Lilly is that you?!" - Terry is astonished as he sees a woman of blonde hair dressed in clothes similar to Geese Howard's right hand man... Billy Kane
"What did you say? Did you dared to use the name of my sister?" - The woman stares at Terry with hate
"Wait a moment! You're not Billy or Lilly, right?" - Terry is confused

"You're from that other earth?" - Andy also confused asks
"Yes... I came here when I learned this scum was here. I'll finish with the last Bogard after a agent of NESTS stole the pleasure of killing Terrence Bogard!" - Billie
"Well if it isn't you, Billie. You certainly have guts to follow me here." - Andrew
"Shut up! You really thought I would allow you to walk scot-free after killing Geese? And where's that scum Higashi?" - Billie
"Too bad, you should have stayed in South Town!" - Andrew fights with Billie

"Are you ok?!" - Terry rushes towards the falling Andrew. He uses his move Overheat Geyser to finish with Andrew as he finally falls to the ground with several marks.
"AH. Ah! This cannot be!" - Andrew drags himself as the two Bogard Brothers stare at the finished Andrew trying to escape
"Where do you think you're going?!" - The Angry Billie appears in front of Andrew. She and he stare at each other. Andrew is about to talk only for Billie to crush his head with her stick.
