CHAPTER THIRTEENx: THE LIGHT OF A NEW DAY
Hitoshi smiled. He stared at his hands, amazed at his transformation. It had succeeded.
Namiko stared at Hitoshi. "What just happened here? What happened to him?" she wondered urgently.
"Actually young Namiko, I have to thank you. Without you bringing Akujki to me, the chances of me achieving its perfection would be slim. Actually, my perfection."
Namiko gritted her teeth. "What do you mean by that?" Hitoshi laughed. "I absorbed all of Akujki's energy. Its entire Yin, everything! It's all inside of me. And now that the Black Dragon is dead, I can continue with my true plans."
Namiko reached to the floor and grabbed the now lifeless Akujiki.
Hitoshi laughed. "Akujiki no longer holds any power. Its entity is not even in that blade anymore, it is within me."
Namiko gritted her teeth. "Do you think I care?! It's still a sword, and I'm going to use to slice you open!"
Namiko rushed at Hitoshi and swung her sword. In the time it took Namiko to slash, Hitoshi was already behind her.
"Come now young Namiko, you've already lost."
Hitoshi unsheathed his own sword, which was emanating a blood red aura. "You're so foolish."
Hitoshi slashed downward, bring his sword straight into the ground.
Namiko jumped away, and watched in amazement as the palace started to fall apart. "Don't worry, I've just slashed the palace in half." Hitoshi laughed. "If you survive, I guess I'll see you again in the real world.
Hitoshi slashed his sword through the air, creating a rift. He jumped in it and disappeared.
Namiko sheathed her sword away and ran over to Hotsuma.
"Mr. Hotsuma, are you all right?!" Namiko asked urgently. Hotsuma sat up weakly. "I'm... fine. But you need to... stop Hitoshi. Don't worry about me, go!"
Namiko stood up. "Alright then. I'll stop Hitoshi for you, I promise."
Hotsuma grasped his wound. "Thank you. But you have to go!"
Namiko nodded and ran to the elevator.
Ryo, Yasuko, and Atsuko ran through the chamber and onto the elevator. "What the hell is going on?" Yasuko asked calmly.
"Ryo gritted her teeth. "I have no idea, but this place is falling apart. We have to get out!"
Atsuko looked at them. "But what about Namiko, and Mr. Hotsuma?"
Ryo shook his head. "I'm sure they'll find a way out."
The elevator ceased with a thud and the three jumped out at the same time Namiko left hers.
She nodded at them and they continued running until they reached the outside o the palace.
Namiko glanced at the ground. It started to crack. "Come on!" she yelled.
They continued running until they reached the end.
The gate still hovered in the air, open. "Come on!" Namiko yelled as she jumped through. Yasuko followed and Ryo and Atsuko were last.
Kagari let out a sigh as she continued reading her book on the train ride to Tokyo. She looked out of the window to see a bright red flash occur in the center of the city.
The flash turned into a huge beam that blasted into the air.
Kagari watched in amazement. "I have to get off of this train somehow," she thought.
The gate somehow transported them to the far of the outskirts of Shinjuku.
Ryo turned to Namiko. "What happened to that Hotsuma guy?" he asked.
Namiko slightly shook her head. "He didn't make it."
Yasuko turned to them. "Everyone, look!"
The group turned to see a huge red beam erupt out of the center of the Shinjuku. "Hitoshi," Namiko whispered.
When the beam dissipated, a huge tower stood where it was.
Ryo gritted his teeth. "What is that?" Namiko winced. "Hitoshi created that. He merged with Akujki, and now, he's nearly invincible."
Yasuko turned. "If Hitoshi merged with Akujki, what can we do?"
Namiko sighed. "I think the only thing we can do is wait and see what happens, or, we can try to stop him."
Ryo walked up to them. "If we wait, it could already be too late. We have to fight, even if we don't stand a chance."
Namiko nodded.
"Guys, what's happening?!" Atsuko shouted as the group turned. Huge shrines appeared on top of four buildings around the tower. The shrines glowed, and four, huge hellspawn appeared in the city.
Ryo gritted his teeth. "We have to hurry. Those creatures are going to destroy the city!"
Namiko looked to the side of the city to see a train barely get on its way.
"That train! One of the hellspawn's going for it!"
Yasuko walked up. "You guys go to that tower and finish this. I'll take of the train."
Atsuko jumped up. "I'll go with you" she exclaimed. Yasuko stared at her with a disgusted stare. "What could you possibly do to help me?" she asked rudely.
Atsuko gritted her teeth. "While you're fighting the hellspawn, I can evacuate all of the passengers!"
Yasuko thought about this for a moment. "Fine. Just don't get in my way."
Namiko turned to Ryo. "Let's not waste time," she said quickly, and started running towards the city. Ryo sighed. "I'll be lucky if there's even a climatic final battle. These people could try to add a little more enthusiasm. We're practically saving the world," he said to himself.
"You coming?" Namiko shouted. Ryo looked up. "Sure!"
"Hurry up," Yasuko commented as they got closer to the train. Atsuko gritted her teeth. "You don't tell me what to do!" Yasuko turned. "You know, I'm being nice right now. I could make you if you want?"
Atsuko stepped back. "No, I'm fine."
The resembled that of large dragons, with huge claws.
Kagari stared out the window. The train had stopped. "What's going on?" she wondered.
Suddenly, the train shook.
"What was that?!" she thought as she stood up.
The train shook again, alerting most of the passengers.
Suddenly, the top of the train ripped open, revealing the large dragon hellspawn.
It roared, causing the train to shake violently.
Yasuko jumped on top of the train. "Hey! Hellspawn! Take this!" she shouted. She then threw four shurikens into the beast, catching its attention.
The hellspawn turned and roared. It rose up and tried to ram Yasuko. She quickly rolled out of the way and threw two shurikens into its left wing.
The creature roared once more and turned. It opened its huge mouth and shot a wave of fire at Yasuko.
Yasuko gritted her teeth and ducked, barely avoiding the blast. It grazed her back, slightly burning it. Yasuko winced, but rolled forward and took out her daggers.
She flipped and stuck one of them into the train. She used it as a slight boost to reach the level of the hellspawn.
She quickly jumped once more in the air, unleashing a large wave of shurikens. The hellspawn tried to move out of the way, but took the full impact of the attack.
Yasuko landed, seeing she only had four shurikens left.
The creature landed on the train, barely standing upright.
Yasuko gritted her teeth. "I'm starting to wonder why exactly you're not dead yet," she said. The hellspawn roared, attempting to try and blast Yasuko with a wave of fire.
Yasuko spit and threw her last shurikens into the middle are of the hellspawn, knocking it down.
Atsuko climbed up on the train. "You all right?" Yasuko squinted. "I'm fine, but I only have my two daggers left. I've used all of the shurikens."
Atsuko scratched her head. "Can't you just take them out of the hellspawn?" Yasuko shook her head. "My shurikens have an incantation on them. Once they are used more than thirty times, they disappear."
Atsuko frowned. Yasuko stared at her. Atsuko looked up. "What?"
Yasuko groaned. "Weren't you supposed to do something about the people inside the train?"
Atsuko perked up. "Oh yeah Sorry."
She went inside the train, which was in complete and total panic. She then noticed Kagari standing up. "Kagari?"
"Namiko, enlighten me. What exactly happened at the that Glass Palace place?" Ryo asked as they ran through a street.
Namiko turned to him. "Mr. Hotsuma fought against Hitoshi, but he lost. I tried to attack him, but he stole Akujki from me and did something strange. He said he had merged with Akujki. I'm pretty sure he did something like that. I don't feel Akujiki hungry, nor does it glow or anything. I think Hitoshi absorbed Akujiki, rather than merge with it."
Ryo nodded. "I see. So we're probably going to be cut in half or what?"
Namiko looked up and saw one of the hellspawn flying towards Ryo.
"Ryo!" she shouted. Ryo turned. "What!"
"Watch out!" Ryo did not have time to react as the hellspawn swept him up.
Ryo gritted his teeth when he heard the hellspawn roared. Ryo flipped and grabbed onto the hellspawn's leg and started to climb up. Ryo got on its back and took out his sword and struck his sword down through its neck.
The hellspawn roared out in pain as he began slicing the hellspawn's head off until it was decapitated.
Ryo looked up and gritted his teeth as he saw another hellspawn fly towards him.
Ryo looked down. "Namiko, go on! I'll be fine!"
Namiko nodded and ran off to the tower as Ryo jumped on the other hellspawn.
Namiko ran as fast as she could to reach the tower.
Five ninjas appeared to halt her progress. "Stay out of my way!" Namiko yelled as she sliced each of them in half.
She reached the tower. "It looks much larger up- close," she thought.
The tower was composed of many stones and boulders that jerked out. Namiko began to climb the tower, determined to end this.
Hitoshi sat upon a great throne, decorated with many intricate designs. He laughed. "Very soon, this city will be eliminated, and all I have to do is watch," he thought aloud.
"I wonder whether or not you expected me to come Hitsoshi?" Namiko asked as she stepped up onto the platform.
Hitoshi smiled and closed his eyes. "Now Namiko, of course I expected you. I doubt you would abandon the world in its darkest hour.
Namiko just unsheathed her sword. "I have to say Hitoshi, you planned this out very carefully. But, I'll make sure I will destroy you. Even if I must die to do so."
Hitoshi laughed and placed his hands in his coat pockets. "Why are we wasting time then? Let us begin."
Hitoshi slowly unsheathed his sword. Then in one swift moment, he unleashed his blade, which spew out hundreds of small sparks. Namiko quickly flipped over it and rushed at Hitoshi. The sparks exploded in a blaze as Namiko prepared to slash Hitoshi.
He smiled and easily blocked the slash. Hitoshi laughed. "Fool."
In one quick movement he cancelled Namiko's attack and executed his own. Namiko barely blocked the attack, as the sword crashed against Akujki's former blade, causing a huge shock- wave to erupt throughout the city.
Hitoshi smiled and quickly dashed around Namiko and slashed her in the back.
The slash knocked her to the far end of the platform.
Hitoshi dashed to her and attempted to stab her. Namiko quickly rolled out of the way. Hitoshi grinned as his sword struck to the floor, causing another massive shock- wave to erupt.
This one knocked Namiko all the way to the corner of the platform.
She slowly began to stand up, however, Hitoshi was already in front of her. She looked up at him.
Hitoshi kneeled down next to her. "Isn't it sad? You've come a long way, just to die here. I predicted a future of some sort for you. It is quite sad. Sad that you're about to fail your sensei, friends, and mostly yourself." Hitoshi chuckled. "You even managed to allow Hotsuma to die. And to think you could've stopped me."
Tears started to stream down Namiko's face. "Be quiet. Just be quiet!"
She quickly rose up and slashed Hitoshi. He staggered backwards, yet Kamiko wasted no time.
She began to slash Hitoshi rapidly. She did not stop, for any reason.
"It's all your fault, all your fault all those people had to die! And to think they they died just for your sick selfishness!"
She slashed one last time, causing Hitoshi to stop. He started to breathe heavily. "Interesting. Unfortunately, your assault didn't work very well."
Hitoshi did not seem that fazed by Namiko's attacks as he picked up his sword.
"Now, you won't survive this time"
He started slashing rapidly, creating red energy slashes to fly at Namiko. She moved, turned, flipped, and dodged the slashes.
She quickly dashed towards Hitoshi and started slashing at him. He blocked each attack and countered by slashing horizontally. Namiko jumped over him, dodging the attack, but at the same time slashing him in the back.
Namiko landed and slashed vertically at Hitoshi, who jumped backwards. He retaliated by slashing four times. Namiko seemed completely focused as she blocked each attack, barely noticing each shock- wave.
Hitoshi gritted her teeth. "What happened? I had complete control, but now I can feel it slipping away. I can't allow this!" he thought.
He slashed downward, Namiko rolled out of the way and kicked him. Hitoshi yelled out as he slashed three more times. Namiko quickly dodged each of the slashes and flipped on her hands. She quickly turned and dashed behind him.
Hitoshi turned and quickly jumped up. A black aura surrounded him as he landed. An even greater shock- wave erupted as he landed. He then dashed amazingly fast as he unsheathed his sword. When he finally unleashed it, a huge black wave of energy followed his blade as be slashed downward at Namiko's blade.
The moment the blades hit each other, a humongous shock- wave erupted, spreading throughout the entire city, destroying many buildings.
Ryo, who had killed the hellspawn with some difficulty, had landed on a building. "What's going on?" he asked himself.
Namiko struggled to keep from being crushed by Hitoshi's blade.
"You fool! Do you now see how inevitable your fate is?! You cannot win! So, why do you continue to fight your destiny!" Hitoshi yelled out in a rage.
Namiko gritted her teeth. "If you really must know, I have a promise I have to keep."
Namiko slashed her sword, knocking Hitoshi backwards. She quickly flipped and stabbed Hitoshi straight in his heart.
Black blood started to seep down as he looked down. "What?"
Namiko was out of breath as she jerked the sword out of his heart.
Hitoshi fell to his knees grasping his heart, which was bleeding uncontrollably.
Hitoshi looked up at Namiko. "Answer me one question though. Did you avenge your sensei?"
Namiko looked at her sword. "I avenged him a long time ago. When the Black Dragon died, actually, when you merged with Akujki, I gained my revenge."
Hitoshi chuckled as he fell back. A huge beam of yin blasted from his body.
Namiko watched without a word as she sheathed her sword away.
"And so, Hitoshi created that tower. Namiko and Ryo are battling him right at this moment," Atsuko explained to Kagari.
"Both of you, look," Yasuko said as Kagari and Atsuko looked up to see the huge beam of yin reach up to the sky.
Ryo looked up to see the beam of yin also. "Well Namiko. Guess you won."
Ryo turned and jumped off of the building.
"Atsuko, what happened to Hotsuma?" Kagari asked. Atsuko lowered her head. "He, didn't come back."
Yasuko noticed that Kagari held back some tears "Thank you."
"Guys!"
The group turned to see Ryo running over to them. "Ryo, where's Namiko?" Atsuko asked excitedly.
Ryo sighed. "I don't know, but," he turned and looked up at the tower falling apart, "I'm sure she's just fine."
(It's over! Saddened Soul starts to cry Oh well people make your final reviews. Oh and, thanks for reading everyone.)
Oh yeah, this being the final chapter, I would like to dedicate this chapter to Dragon Lady9, and to my friend JRV. But, this chapter is much more dedicated to Dragon Lady 9, for reviewing every single friggin' chapter of the story. But I have to say, thank you Dragon Lady9.
