Sakura Wars: Steel Soldiers from the West meet the Flowers of the East.
Chapter 9: Invasion of the Capital
Well in the last chapter Ryo had a meeting with his old friend Naga only for Maria to point her revolver at her. Naga explained more about Kyoko's demon self telling Ohgami and the team how exactly to bring him back to normal. The only problem is it could kill him in the process. Everyone is now in General Yoneda's office now explaining to him what Naga has told them.
"Well do you think we can trust what she said?" Asked General Yoneda as he got out of his seat looking at everyone seriously.
"Yes sir I believe we can trust her. Ryo trusts her I don't see why we shouldn't." Commented Ohgami looking at Ryo then looking back at Yoneda again.
"The fact is she is now demon that would reason enough to doubt what she says." Replied Yoneda.
"She might be demon but I sensed no evil being radiated from her heart. I trust her I want big brother back." Iris lowers her head behind Jean-Paul and General Yoneda replies.
"I know how you feel Iris. But want I want to know when did you pick the ability to sense evil inside some one?" General Yoneda kneels down in front of her and pats her on the head.
"Kyoko was helping me using some technique he uses to focus. But now that he has gone Ryo has been teaching me instead." Replied Iris pretty much to the shock of everyone else. They had no idea she could do that.
"I say we listen to what Naga says. If Iris can trust her so can I." Added Kanna as she stood and rested her hand on Iris's shoulder.
"Yeah I am with ape on this I stand by her and Iris." Sumire then stands up and she rests her hand on Iris's other shoulder. Everyone else also gets up and they walk over beside Kanna, Sumire and Iris and stand beside them.
"Well General it looks like you have been beaten." Giggled Ayame as she watched General Yoneda get put in his place.
"It would appear so all alright we will do it they you want." Replied General Yoneda as he waved his arm in the air as if he was surrendering.
Everyone starts cheering and celebrating. Meanwhile back in the demon world Naga has just returned and has found Nagi in her room resting.
"Oh it looks like Kyoko had you up all night." Smiled a sarcastic Naga as Nagi powders herself in her room.
"He did." Giggled Nagi like a little school girl.
"Nagi I can't believe you." Snorted Naga as she walked up and down pacing herself clicking her fingers Naga changes out of her battle uniform into a pair of black leather trousers and black leather jacket with a red tank top with black boots again.
"You shouldn't complain Naga you have to look after him tonight." Smiled Nagi as she put on a leather style dress and high heeled shoes.
"As if I really want to be in a room alone with him." Naga goes into a bit of a trance when Nagi mentions about how she will be left in the room on her own with Kyoko.
"Oh I can see that glint in your eye. You can't wait to be left alone in the same room as him don't deny it you wanted to be more than the sister he never had. Trust me his embrace is so warming that even you will be in heaven. Ah I am getting all jittery thinking about it." Nagi rests her hand on Naga's shoulder. "Just enjoy it if his friends restore him we won't see him again." Nagi walks out of her room with Naga following close behind her.
"So Naga what have you got planned for today?" Asked Nagi as they walked down through a corridor of darkness leading to Blackhearts throne room.
"Nothing really unless we have to attack then I have nothing to do." Replied Naga. "Though I have one question Nagi."
"And what is that?" Asked Nagi as she stopped and turned to face her.
"Did Blackheart notice that I was missing and during your night with Kyoko did you tell him about Kanna and all his former friends? Did you try to make him remember?" Asked Naga as she stopped right beside Nagi.
"Yeah I talked to him but he never answered back though when I did mention Kanna and his friend's names he grabbed his head and stumbled about the room. I think I am getting through but I am not sure." Replied Nagi shrugging not knowing exactly if she is getting through or not.
"So he doesn't comment on what happens but at least he's trying to remember." Replied Naga.
"Yeah his old self seems to be locked in the back of his mind and mentioning Kanna or his former friends forces that recess to open up and the memories come flooding back." Replied Nagi. "But he quickly changes back to his demon self again so just watch exactly how far you push him." Nagi walks away waving as she disappears round a corner leaving Naga to her own thoughts.
Though else where Kyoko is in a room training himself for the battle that he knows is coming. Blackheart has given him a few demons to fight Kyoko looks around him as the demons begin to circle him.
"If we help in your training and we defeat you master blackheart will give us a big bonus for doing so will." One of the demons cracks its neck and it charges towards Kyoko as the others run to join in. Kyoko grabs the first demon by the forearm flipping him over knocking him to the ground. Kyoko then spins round sliding his leg across the ground he trips another demon up. As the demon begins to get higher in the air for his little trip Kyoko spins round and kicks it sending it flying across the room and into the wall. Kyoko watches as the demons body slumps on the floor. Kyoko then crouches as another two run in to attack. Rolling backwards Kyoko rolls on to his back and as he rolls backwards again he pushes himself of the ground wrapping his legs around one of the demons necks. Kyoko then pushes himself off the ground. Kyoko now rests on the demons shoulders with is legs still around the demons neck. Kyoko then moves his legs suddenly breaking the demons neck Kyoko then combat rolls forward still holding onto the demon throwing it in the wall. Kyoko stands in front of the six remaining demons with full confidence his icy grin can be seen clearly on his face. The demons however don't look so confident and decide to run but Kyoko runs and stops in front of the entrance.
"Please master we beg you please don't kill us." Begged the demon as it dropped to its knees hoping that it is not struck down. Kyoko raises his hand to strike down the demon when a memory from long ago rushes into his head. Kyoko remembers something he was taught long ago and he lowers his hand. The demon looks up at Kyoko and adds "Thank you master thank you for letting us keep our lives. But please don't tell Blackheart about this he will kill us." The demon goes on to explain how Blackheart hates failure. Outside of the room however Naga is listening in she isn't going to go in an expose the demons to Blackheart she is curious to see in what Kyoko will do. She quickly takes a peek into the room to see the demons flinch as Kyoko gets up from the floor and cracks his neck.
"Compassion is not a weakness. Your master is flawed. Now come we will go for a walk." Kyoko leaves the room and the remaining demons follow him eagerly while Naga holds a hand over her mouth in shock that Kyoko actually spoke and that he stated that compassion was not a weakness. Which is clearly not a side a demon would show.
"Kyoko is remembering." Naga smiles as she walks the other way deciding it would be best to wait on Kyoko's return.
Meanwhile back at the Imperial Theatre everyone is busy rushing around preparing for their next production called "The Forgotten Memory." Which is about a young man and woman who have fallen in love but fate intervenes and the young man dies. The production is about how she copes through the aid of the ones around her.
The girls are currently doing a scene and Ayame, Kaede and General Yoneda are watching them.
"General has there been any enemy movement since the teams talk with that demon Naga?" Asked Kaede as she sat watching Sumire and Sakura performing on stage.
"No I am afraid not though I know the attack will come soon." Replied Yoneda as he watches Maria now on stage.
"If that's true do you think Kyoko will be with them?" Asked Ayame looking at Yoneda a bit concerned.
"It would be more than likely. I am sure Blackheart would want to use some one who we all held all dear to destroy us. He would get some sick pleasure from doing this to us. He knows we will try to save Kyoko instead of destroying him. Blackheart hopes Kyoko will kill us before we can reason with him." Replied Yoneda as he watched the girls being instructed on how to do the new dance moves for the production.
"So what you're saying is that this next battle could be our final fight." Commented Kaede as she watched Ohgami, Ryo and Haruna laughing after watching Sumire fall over after bumping in to Sakura.
"Yeah I am afraid this could be the last time we are here as a family. I can't make certain that everyone will make it back again. It's breaking my heart me knowing that this battle is could be our last." Yoneda sighs and walks off.
"General?" Ayame walks after him to see if he is ok. "General are you ok?" She asks as General Yoneda turns round to see who it is.
"Yeah I guess I will cope Ayame it's just we might need to call on Sakura to sacrifice herself. As she is the only one who can really rid us of those demons. But I don't want her to take her life. Kazuma would be disappointed in me. I am going to be in my office come and see me if you have anything to report." General Yoneda leaves the room just as everyone finishes the rehearsing for the day. Maria walks over and looks at Ayame strangely and asks.
"What's wrong with the General; Ayame do you know?" Asked Maria as she watches Yoneda closing the door.
"No he's feeling a bit down right now." Replied Ayame turning to Maria with an upset look on her face.
"May I ask why General Yoneda is feeling down?" Asked Maria.
"He fears that Sakura might have to give her life in the next battle with the demons. He isn't sure whether my brother can be saved and Sakura's life can be spared." Replied Ayame.
"But we shouldn't give up hope before the battle has even begun." Replied Maria.
"Yeah Maria you are right but right now the General is low on self confidence right now. All we can do is try our best when the battle comes and hope we can win. I am not sure about Kyoko if he will return or not but I am preparing for the worst." Ayame looks towards Kanna as she yells at Sumire with Ohgami and Ryo stepping in to stop the fight.
"I don't think Kanna or any of us would be able to take it if Kyoko had to die. I lost Benji I am not gonna lose Kyoko or Sakura." Maria walks past Ayame and goes out into the hall when Sakura and Kanna approach Ayame.
"What was that all about Ayame is Maria ok?" Asked Kanna as she scratched her head wondering what's going on.
"It's nothing you two don't worry about it." Replied Ayame.
"Like hell it's nothing I seen both General Yoneda and Maria leave looking upset something major must be happening." Replied Kanna quickly and sharply.
"Calm down Kanna please. I am sure Ayame will explain just calm down." Replied Sakura quickly jumping in the middle trying to calm Kanna down. Kanna looks down at Sakura and then at Ayame she lets out a sigh and replies.
"I am sorry Ayame and Sakura. I don't know what came over me. I am stressed about the whole business with Kyoko and all I am beginning to feel it." Kanna rubs her head. In which Sakura pats her on the shoulder.
"Maybe you should go off to bed Kanna you look very tired and you have been rehearsing all afternoon." Smiled Sakura as Kanna turned to face her.
"Yeah Sakura I think you are right. I'll go and rest a while." Kanna says good bye to everyone and leaves the stage room. In which Ayame pulls Sakura to the side.
"Sakura do you know why General Yoneda is upset?" Asked Ayame looking at Sakura's confused face.
"No Ayame I don't know why do you know?" Asked Sakura looking puzzled.
"He is concerned that you will have to fulfil your destiny and give up your life to save everyone and it's hurting him greatly." Replied Ayame.
"If I have to die so everyone here and everyone in the Imperial Capital can live then I will gladly give up my life for them." Replied Sakura firmly looking over at everyone with a smile on her face.
"I know you would follow in your father's footsteps but the General and everyone else don't want to lose you now that my brother has gone." Replied Ayame.
"Don't be so down Ayame we will get Kyoko back I promise we will get him back." Sakura smiles and leaves skipping out of the room.
"Even though she knows she might have to doom herself to save us all. Sakura is still a very cheery girl." Ayame giggles a bit as she looks out the window watching the sun as it begins to set.
Mean while back with the demon world. Kyoko has just entered Blackhearts throne room with the demons he was fighting right behind him.
"Ah Kyoko my dear boy are they no match for you?" Blackheart looks down at Kyoko from his throne and then looks at the demons. "You have out lived your purpose now die." Blackheart raises his hand and fires some sort of fireball at the demons behind Kyoko. Kyoko quickly stands up and spreads his big icy wings as the blast hits him.
"Argh!" Blackheart rises out of his chair looking at the smoke wondering where the scream came from. As the smoke clears he spots the demons he was meant to destroy unharmed but he notices Kyoko as a large burn mark in his chest and Kyoko is holding it in pain as Naga and Nagi both run in to the room and watch in shock.
"Why did you protect those demons? They are beneath you. You shouldn't have jumped and taken that blast." Blackheart begins to walk down the steps towards Kyoko. Naga tries to run out to him but Nagi stops her.
"Don't. I know where this is going you won't need to do anything." Nagi points to wards the fallen Kyoko as Kyoko's burn mark begins to heal. Blackheart stops in front of Kyoko only not to be allowed any further as the demons Kyoko saved now stand in front of him protecting him.
"It would seem that the ones you saved and now risking themselves to save you. Ok I will let you all live for now." Blackheart then walks back up the steps of his throne and he sits down. The demons then help Kyoko to his feet.
"Are you ok master?" Asked one of the demons as Kyoko gets to his feet.
"Yeah I am but don't call me master." Replied Kyoko in a cold tone as he stands now on his own two feet. Kyoko then growls at Blackheart before walking away with the demons following behind him.
"See I told you that you wouldn't need to go over to him." Added Nagi as Naga and Nagi both watch Kyoko leave.
"Yeah but why did they defend Kyoko I thought they would of let him get killed if Blackheart had intended it." Asked Naga slighted confused by the events that have taken place.
"Kyoko has strength that's way and I think all the demons and other nightmarish creatures down here even the older more powerful demon lords are beginning to get sick of Blackhearts way of things."
"So way don't they do something about him then?" Asked Naga.
"They can't interfere with matters like that they abide by the rules they set no matter who decides to cross them. I guess they know that a mortal will always stand up to them and take care of the wrong doer themselves. So our demon overlords don't have to." Replied Nagi.
"I can see how that works. But it's late and it's my turn with Kyoko so I will get going and I'll see you in the morning." Naga goes to turn away and Nagi pats a hand on her shoulder.
"Enjoy yourself it's going to be the only chance you get to tell him how much you like him. You will never get another chance so take it and when the night of passion is over tell him how much you love him. That's what I done. But you can tell me in the morning goodnight." Nagi waves and quickly leaves; leaving Naga to walk to Kyoko's room on her own.
"Oh well I better get going. Kyoko will be waiting for me." Naga smiles and she begins to make her way off to Kyoko's room. Naga walks down a dark corridor turning left and right until she reaches a big dark and evil looking door. Naga touches her chest and she gets a warm fuzzy feeling. Naga then knocks on the door and the big door creaks open. Naga steps into his room and the door closes behind her. Naga spots Kyoko sitting at a desk he seems to be drawing. So Naga walks over with one of her sexy walks. She stands behind and kisses his neck before saying. "I am here to entertain you for tonight and what's my big hunk of a demon doing anyway?" Asked Naga as she lifted her head and looked into the mirror in front of her before leaning over Kyoko's shoulder again. Kyoko's back is still facing her.
"I am drawing images of people I see in my head memories of people that I have been with before. I am drawing them down so that I can look at them properly." Replied Kyoko as he continued to draw. Naga puts her arms around and press her chest against his back.
"I see will maybe my dear Kyoko." Naga kisses him on the neck again. "I can help you identify the pictures. So let me see." Kyoko holds the paper up with the drawings on it and Naga takes it from him to have a closer look at them. Naga looks at the pictures as she sits down on Kyoko's bed. Naga looks at each picture for a minute and she notices that Kyoko has drawn everyone from the theatre she smiles when Kyoko sits on the bed beside her.
"What's wrong mistress?" Asked Kyoko as he sat down on the bed behind her wrapping his arms around her. Kyoko slides her leather jacket down a bit and kisses her on the neck and Naga replies.
"I…know…who…is…in…those…drawings." Naga smiles as Kyoko continues to kiss her. Though he pulls away when she mentioned who the people in the drawings are. Naga turns round an pushes Kyoko down on to his back and she climbs on top of him. Then Kyoko asks Naga.
"Who are they? And why can't I get them out of my head." Asked Kyoko as Naga moved closer to him. Kyoko lies on his back as Naga begins to kiss him she takes off her leather and jacket and undoes her leather trousers before replying.
"They are former team members of yours." Replied Naga as she smiled at him seductively.
"I see and why can't I get them out of my head?" Asked Kyoko as Naga took off her top before lying down on top of him again.
"You don't belong here with the demons Kyoko. You belong with them." Naga points to the people in the drawings as she snuggles up to Kyoko giving him a passionate kiss on the lips. "You have a woman back there that loves very much and you need to go back to them. Because if you don't you will have to kill them." Replied Naga.
"If I have a woman who loves me back there then what I am doing now is wrong." Replied Kyoko as Naga kisses him again.
"You're a demon now so it's not wrong. Just enjoy it for what it is I love you as much as Nagi does but your place is with your love Kanna and your friends. Lets not worry about it now lets enjoy ourselves." Naga kisses him again and the demons that where in the room on guard decide to leave to leave the two of them in peace as they enjoy their passion filled night.
Back at the theatre it's late at night and Kanna is in her room trying to sleep but not to much avail.
"Argh this is getting on my nerves." Kanna tosses and turns in her bed trying to sleep but she can't seem to fall asleep. She can't seem to get Kyoko out of her head. Plus the constant nightmares Kanna has been having don't help her ability to sleep.
"I wonder if he will return to us. I wonder if he even remembers me after being changed in to that demon hell I shouldn't have my doubts." Kanna sits up in her bed and then turns around to take a glance out of her window. "Oh it's a beautiful night but behind that sky there is a darkness that could consume us all." Kanna continues to look out the window when she hears a knock on the door. "Come in." The door opens and Maria comes into the room. "What's up Maria couldn't you sleep?" Asked Kanna as Maria entered Kanna's room and sat down on the bed beside her.
"No I couldn't but it seems like you can't sleep much either." Replied Maria.
"Yeah I can't sleep I thought I was strong willed but I can't take this anymore." Tears begin to drip down over Kanna's face. Maria pulls Kanna in close as Kanna bursts into tears.
"Here Kanna it's alright I am here." Maria holds Kanna tightly but Kanna and Maria don't notice is that there is a demon ice sprite showing Kyoko what's going on.
Though in the demon world it is the about 4am in the morning and in the demon world Kyoko is using his demon ice sprites to view what is going on in Kanna's room.
"Kyoko sexy come back to bed." Naga gets up out of her bed and puts a black silk house gown on. She walks over to Kyoko and kisses him on the neck. Before looking at what Kyoko is watching.
"Sorry Naga but this woman seems to be crying and I don't know why she is crying. Though she is one of the woman in the picture I was drawing." Kyoko continues to watch and until Naga sits on his knees turning her back to the mystic portal that Kyoko's sprites are showing.
"Is it." Naga looks behind her and quickly gets off Kyoko. Naga looks at the portal and sees Kanna crying. "I know her Kyoko would you like to know who she is."
Kyoko nods in agreement. "Yes Naga tell me I can't seem to get her out of my head." Kyoko rubs his ice cold head as the memories begin to flood back once again.
"You need to know. That was your human love that was Kanna." Replied Naga as she sat down back in the bed resting her chin on the palms of her hands. Kyoko's face drops as Kanna and Maria continue to talk
"My human love!" Kyoko gets out of his seat and he sits beside Naga. The mystic portal disappears as he recalls his ice sprites.
"Yeah your human love. You need to go back to her and your friends." Naga sighs as Kyoko puts his arms around her.
"I know what I have to do. You and Nagi come with me. We should get away from here. You where once human like me we are like brother and sister back then come with me." Kyoko holds out his hand and Naga takes it.
"So you remember who you are then you know I can only go once Blackheart is destroyed. Until then me and Nagi are bound here." Replied Naga looking up at him.
"Well when the battle starts make sure you survive I plan to kill Blackheart during the battle with my love and the others. Though we can't hold back or Blackheart might notice something." Smiled Kyoko as he hugged Naga. "I will win you your freedom Naga and Nagi's too."
"You shouldn't say that here Blackheart will hear you." Naga looks around waiting on Blackheart to kick in the door.
"He can't hear us in here. My powers are pretty massive I can do things he can't do." Smiled Kyoko as Naga lets out a sigh of relief.
"So at least we know you can hold your own against him in a fight but you might need help in fighting him in the long." Replied Naga.
"That is true so that's why I have enlisted some of my friends for help." Kyoko points to a dark corner of his room and the five creatures very similar to himself step out of the darkness.
"Who are they?" Asked Naga as she got up and walked around them eyeing them up and down.
"Remember the demons that defended me?" Asked Kyoko as Naga stood there as she continued to eye them up and down.
"Yeah I remember why?" Replied Naga.
"That is them now. Once I gave them a sample of my power that is." Smiled Kyoko as he held Naga from behind giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"We are to defend Master Kyoko in life and death until we join the dead or Blackheart falls." The demons kneel on one knee and when Kyoko nods from them to rise and they rise to their feet.
"That's very loyal of you though if Blackheart finds out you won't be so lucky. So I recommend you keep your loyalty a secret for now as the battle will begin shortly." Replied Naga as she began to get dressed.
"Ok everyone go and get ready for this. I'll see you all on the battle field." Kyoko smiles and everyone leaves the room when Blackheart waltzes in to the room.
"I want you in the main chamber my friend. I am about to inform everyone about what we are going to do to rid ourselves of the Imperial Capital." Blackheart then turns around and leaves the room.
Kyoko nods and he exits his room and he makes his way to the main chamber.
"So what is he babbling about?" Asked Kyoko as he stood beside Naga and Nagi in the main chamber.
"The usual rubbish." Replied Nagi as the three of them continued to watch.
"Do you know all your places?" Asked Kyoko as Blackheart continued to blab on and on.
"Yes we do Kyoko please be careful if we get this wrong we will be killed." Replied Nagi.
"I know just do what Naga told you to do and we will be fine." Replied Kyoko as the entire demon army turns to face him and Blackheart is waving for him to come up. Kyoko nods and walks up to Blackheart and he stands beside him.
"This will be the demon that will lead you into battle so go and destroy the Imperial Capital." Blackheart waves his hand and the army begin to cheer for there master. "Now begin the destruction." Black waves his hand again and a big portal opens and the army begins to march through.
Mean while back in the Theatre every one has gathered in for their mission briefing.
"Ok everyone this looks like this is it. A large force is heading are way as he speak killing and slaughtering everyone as we speak the army have had new weapons that can hurt demons but we need to move the mission kill Blackheart get Kyoko back and purge the world of the demons forever dismissed." Everyone salutes General Yoneda and they all quickly proceed to their Koubu.
Mean while back at the entry point of the portable the army have met the demons and are currently waiting to engage each other. Ayame and Kaede are currently on the battle field standing on the front lines talking with a few soldiers.
"Excuse me ma'am but how come we don't attack them." Asked a soldier as he turned to Ayame.
"Until the Koubu and their pilots get here we can't do anything." Replied Ayame as she walked with her katana in her hand.
"Yeah I know and I can see five demons which could be Kyoko." Replied Kaede as she looked through her binoculars.
"Well at least that's one thing out of the way. Now if only the Koubu will get here." Ayame looks around to see if there is any sign of them.
Mean while on the other side Blackheart is getting impatient.
"I see that the Koubu and their pilots haven't shown up yet. Oh well kill the rest." Blackheart waves his hand and his army begins to move forward.
"Ayame!" Kaede Yells to her sister and Ayame turns around.
"What's the matter Kaede! " Asked Ayame.
"They are attacking!" Cries Kaede as she watches the demons stomping closer.
"Ok we can't wait everyone open fire!" Ayame lowers her sword and the army starts firing at the demon horde. Bullets began striking demons as the tanks begin to fire sending demons skyward as the tank shells strike the ground.
"That's it keep fighting if they get to close use your spiritual powered knives!" Ayame swings her Katana striking to of the fiends that had tried to come close.
"You do know these are only small fries soon the Masoukihei and the Wakiji units will appear we won't be able to handle them and Kyoko when him and his other demon partners attack." Replied Kaede as she spins round kicking on demon to the ground before ramming her katana through its chest.
"Yeah I think it's too late for that. As here they come!" Ayame points to the Wakiji and Masoukihei units beginning to march forward but they are more surprised when Naga, Nagi and five demons the look like frozen angels join the fight.
"All remaining tanks fire on the advancing enemy troops and keep firing at your own discretion." Yells Ayame as the tanks begin to fire blasting Wakiji and Masoukihei units to bits.
"Show that there tin cans are no match for us!" Kyoko raises his hand and he fires a blast destroying four enemy tanks. While the Wakiji continue to fire on the tanks and the tanks continue to fire back.
"Time to die you devil!" Kyoko turns round as a soldier runs towards him firing his gun.
"I am sorry I have to do this." Kyoko grabs him by the arm. Kyoko twists his arm breaking it. The man screams in pain as Kyoko then punches the soldier once sending him to the ground.
Kyoko looks around to see soldier and demon bodies lying all over the ground. Kyoko shakes his head.
"So much death and pain why am I doing this…ARGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" Kyoko screams in pain as he looks down at his chest to see a blessed swords blade sticking through his chest. The sword's holder lets it go and Kyoko stumbles forward turning around to see Kaede in front of him. Kyoko falls flat on his back. Kaede walks over and pulls the sword out as it flies into the air Kaede catches it with her left hand and spins around cutting the head clean off one of Kyoko's elite demons.
"Where is my brother you bastard? Before I kill you I want you to tell me!" Kaede walks over and grabs her katana's handle and is about to pull the sword out when Kyoko lifts his hand he fires a blast killing a demon that had sneaked up on Kaede.
"Well my dear your brother just happens to have a sword stuck through his chest. I know who you are Kaede and I am the one you're looking for." Kyoko staggers to his feet quickly grabbing a demon by the neck and breaking it. Kyoko also spins around kicking a soldier to the floor.
"Kyoko is it really you?" Asked Kaede as she draws a gun shooting three demons behind Kyoko.
"Yes it is me but we don't have much time I plan to take out Blackheart when he least suspects it I want you too…" Kyoko looks up as the Shogei-Maru fires a shot from its main gun destroying most of the demons and destroying all of the steam cannons surrounding Blackheart and the Koubu are now being air dropped out from the back of the Shogei-Maru. Each Koubu lands closely together.
"Ok everyone this is it we must stop them advancing any further into the city so let's hunt them down and take them out. Also don't forget to look out for Kyoko if you find him report it immediately ok let's go. Everyone spread out!" Everyone agrees to what Ohgami has said and they enter the battle.
"Oh no they are here Argh!" One of the demons screams in pain as Kanna smashes her forearm in to its skull sending it crashing to the ground.
"Where is Kyoko! Tell me now!" Sumire surges forward in her Koubu; killing all the Wakiji and Masoukihei that get in her way.
Meanwhile as the battle rages on Blackheart is watching from a safe distance.
"I see that annoying air ship is making quite a stir. I think I will remove it now." Blackheart raises his hand and the sky begins to darken. Blackheart begins to mutter something and in a space of few seconds the Shogei-Maru gets attacked by lightening
"AHHH! We can't take much more of this!" Screams Kasumi as the Shogei-Maru continues to take damage.
"I know but we can't escape if the Shogei-Maru goes down then we will go down with it." Adds Yuri as the Shogei-Maru begins to lose altitude.
"Then if we have to die lets ram this fines airship down that son of a bitch's throat!" Tsubaki pushes Kasumi out of the way and steers the Shogei-Maru directly at Blackheart.
"Yeah that's a brilliant idea lets do it. Everyone hold on we are all going to out with a bang!" Kasumi increases the speed of the Shogei-Maru and it begins to approach Blackheart rapidly.
"They plan to hit me with that?" Blackheart bursts out laughing and watches as the Shogei-Maru gets closer.
Mean while Ayame and Kyoko have both dispatched their fair share of enemies and Kaede has also attacked him Kyoko is trying to fend her off while Ayame tries to talk to her.
"Kaede listen to me!" Yells Ayame as Kaede sticks her sword through his chest. Now Kyoko has both swords stuck into him.
"What!" Kaede runs up to Kyoko kicking him in the face. Kyoko stumbles back; as he does so Kaede pulls out both swords freeing them from his chest. Kyoko falls to the ground Kaede lifts the swords for her final strike when Ayame grabs her.
"STOP IT! THAT'S KYOKO!" Kaede stops and Kyoko gets to his feet.
"Are you serious?" Asked Kaede as she looked at Kyoko and then to the battle field watching as Ohgami and the others do battle.
"Yes she is it's me but continue your fighting if I don't go now Kasumi, Tsubaki and Yuri will die!" Kyoko points to the Shogei-Maru and then Kaede looks at him.
"I am sorry please save them." She smiles as Kyoko spreads his big feathery wings.
"I will I'll return soon." Kyoko takes to the air they watch as Kyoko flies towards the Shogei-Maru. They return to their fighting while Kohran has run into Naga.
"Finally I have made it to one of the protectors of the Imperial Capital." She grins as she summons her weapon and she charges for Kohran.
"I see but for stealing Kyoko and trying to burn the Imperial Capital to the ground I will stop you!" Kohran swiftly moves out of the way of Naga's attack and she fires a barrage of missile which all hit Naga.
"Ah heck you didn't need take me seriously. Kyoko will be returning to you soon once Blackheart is killed." Naga swings again and Kohran moves out of the way again.
"What do you mean?" Asked Kohran as she stopped the fighting.
"Make this look real don't stop." Naga jumps up on to Kohran's Koubu grabbing it tightly.
"We have to keep fighting just in case Blackheart is watching. I want you to blast me away and I will move to inform someone else. Just be ready to back Kyoko up when he attempts to kill Blackheart." Naga leaps away and Kohran aims all her missiles.
"How can I trust you?" Asked Kohran as she fired again this time Naga dodges.
"Trust your heart. I am only here to tell you. You will know what to do when the time comes." Kohran fires again Blasting a lot of the demons around Naga to cover Naga's escape. Kohran continues to fight but she opens a com to Ohgami who then relays it to the others.
"Ohgami? Ohgami can you hear me?" Asked Kohran as she again unleashes missile barrages.
"Yes Kohran I can hear what is the matter?" Replied Ohgami calmly as he killed a few enemy Wakiji.
"I was just attacked by Naga. She claimed that Kyoko will be making his move on Blackheart soon. She also wants us to be there in case he needs backup." Replied Kohran her area of enemies finally clear.
"Then we will be there but right now everyone is engaged in combat. Join up with Reni and Iris. We will move to you as soon as we can. Do you read me Kohran?" Ohgami turns round killing a few more Wakiji.
"Yes I read you Ohgami." Kohran then makes her way towards Reni and Iris's position.
"Good now does everyone understand. We back up Kyoko but if it's a trick we might have to take Kyoko out. So be on your guard as Naga and Nagi might approach you. Listen to what they have to say then report it back to me. Everyone clear?" Ohgami waits on their response.
"Kanna here I got it chief. Over and out." Kanna smashes a Masoukihei unit to pieces. "And this is for taking my man!" Swinging her Koubu around Kanna smashes a Wakiji right in the face.
"Sumire here. I read you Ohgami just make sure I can get some of Blackheart when we meet." Sumire spins her naginata cutting up a few advancing Masoukihei units.
"Maria reporting; I have received your orders Ohgami and I await for the order to go." Maria spins her gun arm round firing her cannon hitting all enemies she aims at with deadly accuracy.
"Reni and Iris here we have received your commands we are moving towards Kohran we await the orders to go."
"Orihime here. Sakura and myself have received your orders Ohgami. We will be awaiting your orders to go." Orihime kills a few Wakiji's and Sakura dispatches a few enemy Masoukihei units.
"Ryo here orders have been received and I await your orders. Any word from Haruna or the General? The Commando unit with them at lead have they reported back yet?" Asked Ryo.
"Not yet but don't worry Ryo I am sure they are fine keep focused on the task at hand I am sure they noticed the Shogei-Maru and have retreated to a safe distance. I hope Kasumi and the others got off that thing ok." Ohgami goes silent and Ryo does not respond but as they continue to fight in the sky above them Kyoko flies towards the Shogei-Maru flapping his big wings as it continues to fly right towards Blackheart.
"I hope I make it in time." Kyoko continues flying when Blackheart begins to talk with him telepathically.
"I order you to return to the battle zone. Are you listening to me!"
"I prefer not to but there is something on that machine that I must get out. So do me a favour master and piss off." Kyoko's cold hearted voice trails off as he flies beside the Shogei-Maru. Kyoko gets hit by one of the lighting bolts but quickly recovers moving towards the front of the Shogei-Maru.
"What the hell is that?" Kasumi takes a fire arm and points it Kyoko as he flaps his wings just outside the window.
"Must be a new demon but it's too late to shoot here it comes." Yuri screams as Kyoko smashes through the window. Kasumi gets a shot off hitting Kyoko in the shoulder he lands on the ground and the gun shot wound begins to heal when he looks up at Tsubaki, Kasumi and Yuri.
"He's going to kill us and then stop the Shogei-Maru from destroying his master." Tsubaki steps back as Kyoko steps forward.
"No Tsubaki I am not here to stop you." Answers Kyoko in a cold seemingly heartless tone of voice. "I am here to get you to safety as certain people will be sad if you die me included." Kyoko looks up trying to smile but his smile looks more menacing than it is comforting.
"It can't be you can it?" Kasumi steps forward she lifts her hands and strokes his face.
"It's me I remember who you all are. I took the life of the man Maria loved and now I am going to end this by killing Blackheart myself; but right now my main concern is getting out of here safely please hold on." Kyoko takes Kasumi and he pulls her in close.
"Kyoko is it…" Tsubaki and Yuri don't know what to do.
"Please Tsubaki and you too Yuri; trust me on this we have to go." Kasumi smiles and Tsubaki and Yuri both nod grabbing onto Kyoko. Yuri climbs onto his back but lowers herself; so his wings can move freely while Kasumi and Yuri both grab onto one of his arms.
"Thank you lets go!" Kyoko then begins to flap his wings and he quickly flies back through the window which he smashed through. They get out ok and the four of them observe as the army begin to retreat with the Koubu also retreating as the Shogei-Maru crashes into Blackheart causing a huge explosion. At least half of the remaining demon troops are now burning to a crisp while the Japanese army and the flower division have made it to the minimal safe distance.
"You three did a number on him. I never thought you three would be capable of such a thing I am impressed." Kyoko looks for the flower division members and he slowly begins his descent towards them.
Meanwhile on the ground everyone is watching the huge fire ball engulfing the area Shogei-Maru exploded in.
"Kasumi!" Sakura watches the flames rise from the ground and everyone leaps out of their Koubu as the remaining demons retreat leaving Blackheart engulfed in flames.
"Kasumi Tsubaki and Yuri where piloting the Shogei-Maru does that mean they are now dead." Cried Kohran as she looks down at the ground.
"Let's hope not I can't take it if we lose anymore lives in this." Ohgami lowers his head as Ayame and Kaede runs towards him.
"Did Kasumi and the others get out of there ok?" Asked Kaede as she stopped in front of Ohgami.
"I don't know if they could off as far as I know they used the Shogei-Maru to take out the enemies quickly and hopefully Blackheart as well. The sacrifice they made will forever be remembered." Ohgami lowers his head again when he hears a lot of noise coming from his Koubu. He runs over and quickly listens to his Koubu's communication device.
"Ohgami look above you Kasumi, Yuri and Tsubaki are being brought straight to you by what appears to be a demon. I think its Kyoko just be on your guard in case I am wrong." General Yoneda radios off and Ohgami looks up and he watches as the demon lands in the centre with each flower division member surrounding him. Kasumi, Yuri and Tsubaki step back as Ayame and Kaede run forward grabbing him around the waist.
"Kyoko! You made it back safely." Everyone looks at the demon form of Kyoko and they look at him in shock when Kanna decides to step forward.
"Kyoko… is that you?" Kanna takes another step forward. Kyoko quickly turns away covering her face.
"Please don't come near me…I don't want any of you to see what I have become…" Replied Kyoko in his cold dark voice as he continues to keep his back turned.
"Please don't do this look at me." Kanna steps forward again and Kyoko pulls himself away again.
"Please Kyoko don't do this we are your friends we don't care what you look like." Sakura runs beside Kanna and pleads with him. Kyoko doesn't move but continues to keep his back turned.
"Hey Kyoko please turn and face me." Maria takes a step forward as she moves closer to him.
"I can't not after what I have done. If anything Maria you should end my life for taking Benji's." Replied Kyoko as he continued to keep his back turned.
"No you weren't to blame for what happened to Benji but I will not forgive you if you don't turn around and look at me." Maria has already forgiven him but she like the others wants to view the new face of Kyoko so she uses her training in to fooling him to turn around.
"Alright. I do want your forgiveness and if you need to view my face so that I can have your forgiveness then so be it." Kyoko takes his hands away from his face and he turns round. Everyone except Ayame, Kaede, Kasumi, Tsubaki and Yuri look at his frozen over face and they look shocked Maria is then smiles and nods her head slightly.
"I forgive you welcome back." Maria takes his hand and shakes it and Kyoko smiles when Kanna ploughs clean into him.
"Welcome back." Kanna starts crying as she holds Kyoko tight. "I am glad to have you back. Kyoko rests his hands on the side of Kanna's face wiping away the tears.
"It's alright I am back now. You don't need to cry anymore." Kyoko pulls her in tight and they kiss each other. The ice covering Kyoko's body begins to crack and ii finally shatters returning Kyoko back t his normal self. Kanna smiles as everyone circles them smiling though in the sky below above Naga and Nagi have Blackheart's body in their arms.
"Look at them down there that's so sweet." Nagi begins to wipe her tears away and Naga rests her hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah we are no longer needed here the war is over and Sakura and Kyoko both survived." Naga looks towards the sky. "Thank you Kazuma for showing us where we truly belong, your daughter has done you proud." Naga smiles as a mirage of Sakura's father appears beside them.
"Yes thank you Kazuma." Nagi smiles as Kazuma rests a hand on both of their shoulders. They both drop Blackhearts body and when it hits the ground Kyoko looks up as does everyone else.
"Naga and Nagi you both survived! Thank you for everything." Smiles Kyoko as he looks up at them.
"Yes we destroyed Blackheart's power source just as the Shogei-Maru struck him and exploded he was killed instantly. We are here to wish you and Ryo and your friends the best of luck for the future and if evil should ever arise again we will answer your call. But until then my friend take care." Naga and Nagi disappear ad Blackheart's body melts away.
"Bye Naga and Nagi thanks for everything we will see you again!" Both Kyoko and Ryo raise their hands and wave. Ohgami then looks towards everyone and says
"Let's go home." Everyone agrees as they watch the sun begin to set and they begin to prepare for the trip home.
The flower division have saved the day but not all evil has being destroyed the flower division will be need again someday but until then they can enjoy a period of peace.
