Canon 19

Previously on Canon Distortion...

Sora Minakaze had escaped from his pursuers and was trying to think of his next move. As he relaxed a little during what was a tense time for him, Hunter Long suddenly appeared, causing Sora to accidentally drop the bottle of medication meant for him. After some attempts to calm Hunter down failing, Sora assumes a battle stance in order to defend himself from what appears to be a vengeful Hunter...

And now... The continuation of Canon Distortion.

It had been just 15 seconds since Hunter and Sora assumed battle stances against each other. For the two, it felt more like minutes had passed. In one hand, Hunter Long, a person who Sora knew from the academy a long time ago for being a fighter using a weapon that most people say has the power to match a Nox Nyctores and fought more like a wild animal and lacked technique. 2 years of wars and battles has clearly hardened him in some way as he slowly leaned in and continued to stare right at Sora.

For Sora this was something different entirely. For him, since he personally knew Hunter while Hunter did not know him at all, it was kind of difficult for him to justify the senseless fight that was going to take place at this point. 'I just want to end this fight as peacefully as possible and try to get Hunter to see some common sense for once in his life...' Sora thought as his grip on the Rev Blade tightened, his goal being to cause as little harm as possible to Hunter so that he could try to reason with him again.

Suddenly, Hunter let out a sigh, alarming Sora as he leaned in forward, telegraphing his attack to the white haired man as Sora steeled himself for Hunter's first move. Hunter suddenly lunged forward, the saw like blade of Draco being swung as if it was mere knife towards Sora's head which forced Sora to raise the Rev Blade to block said attack. After blocking the attack, Sora quickly delivered a swift strike from the pommel of the Rev Blade right onto Hunter's chest to create some distance and using his first attack to determine what he needed to watch out for.

'Hunter's gotten faster with that thing that is for sure… but what else has he learned over the years...' Sora thought as he was trying to use Hunter's attacks as a way to gauge how much power he would need to subdue Hunter without harming him. 'Even if you are hostile with me Hunter… even if I need to fight you… please don't force me to go all out to keep you down Hunter.' Sora thought as Hunter looked visibly annoyed as Sora could feel that something was very wrong with Hunter in the head.

Hunter stabbed his sword in frustration, the sword easily cutting through stone and concrete as it glowed red briefly before Hunter cleaved the ground, causing rocks and dust to kick up into the air right into Sora's direction, flying towards him at high speed. Sora, quick to respond to the attack, quickly revved up the Rev Blade to it's enhanced gear before clicking on the Brake handle. "ENHANCED GEAR!" The Rev Blade yelled as Sora quickly sliced at the air, blasting a gust of Seithr right into the rocks and dust, causing them to reflect back right at Hunter at twice the speed they originally had.

As Sora was doing this however, Hunter had already been moving closer to attack Sora, using the debris he launched right at Sora as more of a distraction rather than as an actual attack as he raised Draco to block the debris launched back right at him before in one swift and clean motion, Hunter raised his blade above his head and swung forward for another attack that Sora was able to block once again but with great difficulty.

"HUNTER! We don't need to fight like this!" Sora yelled, trying to get Hunter to see some common sense in his life. "We can just stop and try to talk things out again!" Sora yelled some more as he was hoping that his desperate pleas would not fall down on deaf ears and Hunter would actually consider his words instead of blindly fighting like the way he is currently. That despite the current hostility he was being shown, Hunter would let up eventually and be willing to talk.

"SHUT IT!" Hunter yelled, all sense of reasoning gone as he raised his fist, revealing to Sora a metal hand as the sleeves of the black overcoat Hunter was wearing slid down a little to reveal said metal hand to Sora. "The only real thing that can get to a person these days… IS A FREAKING SPLIT SKULL!" Hunter yelled, punching Draco's blade with the metal hand, forcing the blade deeper as Sora head got struck by the flat side of the Rev Blade when he did that as Sora shook his head to recover.

As soon as Sora saw Hunter raise his metal fist to drive it towards Draco once again, he immediately retaliated once again with a kick to his stomach this time, putting distance between him and Hunter once again as he created more distance by retreating. As he did this, Hunter pieced together in his head what Sora was trying to do at this point. 'This guy is trying to create distance so he can observe me and figure out how to attack me… if that's the case then I don't have to hold back for this guy!' Hunter thought as Sora noticed Hunter doing something strange with Draco, retracting the blade into the maw.

'Now what is he going to do!?' Sora thought as he couldn't help but get a bad feeling from what Hunter was planning to do next as Hunter swung the maw around a few times. Then all of the sudden, Sora could hear a loud and chunky click come from the maw as suddenly, the maw disconnected itself from the handle, crashing to the ground as Sora could see what seemed to be wisps of flame connecting the maw with the handle in a chain like manner, almost looking like a glowing chain.

'Well...That is new.' Sora thought, having never seen this form of Draco before as Hunter swung the handle upwards, which in turn made the maw fly up into the air as he began to give it a few spins in the air to build up the power. As he did so, Sora could feel hot air rise up and strike him in the chest as before Sora knew it, Hunter swung down, causing the maw to fly down like a meteor from the sky as it came down fast but by his own estimations, it should have been fast enough for him to intercept with just blocking.

As Sora raised the Rev Blade to block however, the maw suddenly opened it's mouth as it faced the sky and what erupted out of the maw was flames that caused the maw to accelerate from the sky much faster than Sora was expecting. "Oh Shi!" Before Sora could even finish his sentence, the maw had already collided with Sora's guard, sliding across the Rev Blade and right into Sora's chest, knocking the wind right out of him as he crashed right onto the ground in a semi staggered state.

As Sora staggered to the ground, Hunter immediately had the chain retract back towards him quickly until it reached a point where he could spin the chain once again rapidly as his eyes were focused on Sora's chest which now had the symbol of Draco implanted on his chest, which Sora was unaware off as he was busy focusing on recovering. "Now hold still for me… It will be easier for both you and me." Hunter said, his eyes staring at Sora like a predator ready to kill it's prey as he launched the maw once again at Sora like a meteor, his aim intended for the back of Sora's head which will instantly kill him.

As Hunter thought he had Sora as soon as he saw Sora got up to his knees, his eyes blinked for a moment. That momentary loss of vision on his opponent was enough to suddenly shock him when suddenly his attack that was aimed for his opponents head missed and Sora was now instead in front of the maw, having dived away from said attack. His mind couldn't register what he had just seen as he clearly was watching Sora Minakaze get to his knees, not on the ground and getting up as he continued to stare.

As this was happening however, Hunter had failed to pay attention to the maw retracting as Sora managed to grab a hold onto the chain when Hunter finally regained focus. That focus soon turned into shock as he realized that the chain of Draco was now dragging his opponent closer towards him, leaving him no time to react as having abandoned the Rev Blade to grab the chain, he instead delivered a powerful flying kick using the momentum gained from the chain, pushing both him and Hunter away from each other as they stared right at each other once more.

Sora's sudden trick had suddenly brought Hunter's momentum to a stop, causing him to hesitate to attack as he was not sure what had just happened and was now on high alert. 'Now's my chance to push my offensive.' Sora thought as he leapt back and grabbed the Rev Blade behind him, tossing it into the air as it spun a few times before he spun around, aligning his leg with the handle of the Rev Blade and kicking it right towards Hunter's direction with force, causing it to soar into the air as Hunter reflexively deflected the blade tossed right at him upwards, ejecting Draco's blade to do so.

As he did so, his gaze was taken away from Sora once again as when his blade passed his eyes, Sora was no longer in front of him as he instinctively looked up to see Sora soaring above him, catching him off guard yet again as Sora caught the Rev Blade and thrust downwards, causing it to crash with Hunter's guard in time as he kicked Draco, creating distance once again as now Hunter's senses were starting to kick in.

'He did it again!? So my eyes aren't playing tricks with me!' Hunter thought as his moment of hesitation was the cue that Sora needed to start pressing the attack. And press the attack Sora did as he charged towards Hunter without hesitation in his eyes, forcing Hunter to block several times his Rev Blade strikes as he wanted to force Hunter into a defensive stance so he had started to use his drive in order to throw Hunter off his balance.

As soon as Hunter was thrown off guard, this gave Sora the chance to apply more pressure right onto Hunter to force him to give him an opening. Soon Sora began to use the momentum gained from swinging the Rev Blade to continue attacking in a rapid pace, pushing Hunter with each strike as Hunter could feel the ground give out behind him as he was looking for his grip on the ground. 'TCH! How on Earth is he even swinging that blade of his with just one arm!? He's not even bothering to grip that weapon of his at all!' Hunter thought as frustration began to grow.

'Okay tough guy! You've had your fucking fun. My turn!' Hunter thought as when Sora swung his next strike, Hunter immediately retracted his blade and opened out his maw, catching the Rev Blade with the Maw with the intent of breaking it by simply chomping on it like had done with most other bladed weapons. However Hunter struggled to do so as instead of chomping down like he had expected, his eyes were now able to see that the Rev Blade was simply a block of metal shaped like a blade. It wouldn't even be able to cut but it made a great bludgeoning tool however for what he wanted to do originally, it was not going to work.

'In that case… HOW ABOUT THIS!' Hunter thought as suddenly with power, Hunter forced the Rev Blade out of the way, exposing Sora's chest and the ignition point as the maw opened up revealing a seal of flame at the end as Sora felt the sensation of a distortion hit him. "BLAZING FLARE!" Hunter yelled as a massive jet of flame ejected itself from the maw in a furious motion. At such close range, most normal people would have not only been hit but also end up blown up by the ignition point being struck by the flames as Sora realized he needed to act otherwise he was going to die.

At that very moment, Hunter kept his eyes open. He wanted to see for himself what Sora was doing. Was he moving so fast that his eyes were unable to keep up or was he using another means to disappear from sight. Hunter's eyes continued to stare at Sora like a hawk as he saw Sora standing in place, the flames about to touch the ignition seal. He then saw Sora simply vanish in front of him as this confirmed something for Hunter.

'He's somehow teleporting without using an Ars Magus seal!' Hunter theorized as his instinct kicked in to tell him to thrust his elbow behind him only for that elbow to get caught as he turned around to see Sora staring right at him in the eyes. He tried to pry his elbow from Sora's hand but Sora simply stared at him, his eyes truly not wanting to fight him as he was so desperately holding back most of his power, hoping the displays of his drive would have been enough to dissuade Hunter from further fighting at this point.

"Look Hunter… I don't know what happened to you for the past two years… but you got to stop being violent and just listen to me for a second!" Sora said, his voice breaking a bit as he couldn't help but feel a bit sad looking at Hunter's current condition, the way his body looked so battered, ready to give out yet he was fighting like a desperate animal as Sora could see Hunter make a loud and audible tch sound, annoyed by Sora's constant attempts to get him to stop fighting even though Hunter himself was determined to finish him off.

"Yeah I will listen to you… After I fucking cave your skull in!" Hunter shouted like the wild animal he was behaving as, thrusting his other elbow towards Sora's ignition point and activating it with a little bit of Draco's fire he had managed to create without Sora knowing, causing a small explosion to occur as both of them both blown away from each other in the process, leaving Sora groaning on the ground in the process.

As Sora was staggered on the ground, Hunter saw his opportunity and summoned Draco back to his hand as he placed Draco on his hip before swinging upwards with Draco, the blade ejecting out as he swung swiftly. "RED DAWN!" Hunter yelled as the blade swung quickly like an uppercut towards Sora's chest. Sora himself realized that he needed to act quick otherwise this next slash might be fatal so he had no choice but to use the Rev Arm instead, transforming the Rev Blade to it while he stood up and using his quick reflexes to have the arm attach to his stump as it formed, allowing him to just barely catch the blade and stopped the attack dead in it's tracks.

Hunter tried to continue the momentum of the strike but found himself stuck in a deadlock as Sora kept the blade on the ground, not letting Hunter continue with his uppercut as Sora simply gave Hunter a stare in the eyes. "Like I said… just listen to me… unless you want me to knock some sense into you." Sora threatened as Hunter could feel Sora's blood lust starting to seep out of his body, warning him that the opponent he was facing was much more than simply a pacifist who could fight.

"So if you want to do that… THEN COME ON! LET'S GO!" Sora yelled out as he began to push back the attack, pushing back Hunter's attack much to his surprise as Hunter became even more frustrated. "Like I said… I don't know who the hell you are!" Hunter yelled as he went for a headbutt to break the stalemate, both fighters rubbing their foreheads as Hunter bled a little from doing so. As they created distance from each other, Sora couldn't help but notice a small glint appear from Hunter's eye, a glint of cunning that told him to be very wary of something Hunter might try.

He soon entered into a stance that Sora had never seen before, Draco was placed on his hip like how a samurai would sheath their katana for a strike and he was leaning forward, his front leg bending a bit while his back leg was as straight as it could go. From the posture he took, he was getting ready to attack with his metal hand gripping tightly onto Draco's handle. This new stance forced Sora to play a bit defensively as he realized there was no point in trying to hide his drive anymore as he had used it enough times for Hunter to realize that something was up.

'I guess it's time to really push myself with this drive.' Sora thought as he closed his eyes and briefly focused on the seal that represented his drive. As soon as the image appeared on his mind, Sora blind left white eye suddenly had the seal of his drive ingrained on his iris as Hunter took this as a sign that Sora was no longer going to try and hide what he was doing. 'Good… Do that… Try that teleporting bullshit again so I can hit you this time.' Hunter thought as silence once again greeted the two before a standstill occurred once again.

As Sora moved closer to Hunter, Hunter was discreetly loosening his grip on Draco as he allowed the maw to opened slowly to reduce Sora's chances of noticing what he was trying to do. As soon as Sora got close to point blank, Hunter immediately reacted, releasing Draco after pumping it with energy. "IGNITE!" Hunter yelled as the Maw shot out of his hand, Sora barely able to dodge the maw as it zoomed right past him in the process.

As Sora dodged that attack, Hunter had already used the dodge as his chance of attacking as he leaped into the air, making Draco manifest in his hand once again as with the momentum gained from shooting the maw out of his hand, descended on to Sora quickly with the maw ready to smash it right on his head as that was what Hunter wanted, to force Sora to teleport and expose him to another attack in the process.

'TCH! That is not all I can do Hunter!' Sora thought as he used his drive to speed himself forward and end up right in front of Hunter's attack, stopping the attack's momentum quickly as he grabbed Hunter's wrist and forced the attack to go another direction, exposing Hunter's head for a shot to the face with his metal hand. 'I GOT YOU!' Sora thought as he swung his fist right towards Hunter's face.

As soon as his fist went soaring into the sky, Sora's eyes flared up for a moment as he suddenly felt a fist pound itself right onto his stomach, making him cough out blood as he looked down to see Hunter delivering a lightning fast punch from his metal hand. It was so fast that Sora barely could register what had happened as his stomach and solar plexuses felt like they were being wrecked while his ribs were breaking apart at the sheer force of the punch Hunter was delivering.

All of this was part of the vision Sora's drive had given him as his eyes immediately diverted towards Hunter's metal fist as he could see Hunter throwing the punch that would immediately incapacitate him if he did not block it. Thus instead of his planned strike towards Hunter's head, Sora immediately pivoted his punch towards Hunter's fist instead, both of their metal fists colliding with each other and thrusting with enough force to crash towards the ground, easily creating a small scale crater in the process as Hunter's eyes widened what had happened.

'He...Saw that coming?!… Does that mean he is not teleporting all over the place!?' Hunter thought, his mind become bewildered as he had thought that he had figured out what Sora was doing but now that his punch had just been countered, he cannot help but wonder what else he doesn't know about Sora at this point as this time, he was the one who backed away, doubt starting to seep into his mind as he was starting to become unsure of what was going on and how he should be reacting at this point.

Hunter could feel his blood freeze a little. Now that he was not fighting with such reckless abandon, he could start to clearly see the slow amounts of blood lust that was starting to build with Sora's eyes as Sora had been showing and holding back so much restraint from attacking him in the first place. But with Hunter's every attempt to resist peace talks, Sora himself was starting to resign himself to fight as Sora decided to try for one last time.

"Look Hunter… I am going to give you one last chance to calm the hell down before I have no choice to give you my all." Sora said, grabbing the handle of the Rev arm as he said that while shooting a serious stare towards Hunter's direction. A single rev of the rev arm was enough to discharge some Seithr into the arm as Sora realized if he was going to subdue Hunter, he needed to use the reverse flow function of the Rev System, to use the Seithr that was flowing inside him to empower more of his attacks.

But did he want to do that? Did he want to use something and risk harming both himself and Hunter at the same time due to his inexperience. 'Please Hunter… Please just settle down and don't force me to go all out.' Sora mentally begged as his stare made Hunter move back a bit as Hunter thought about the words Sora had used, contemplating what he was saying before simply shaking his head after processing everything that was said.

"I'm Sorry… I just don't trust a man who looks at me like that..." Hunter said, Making Sora sigh as this was the last thing he wanted in the first place, to hear Hunter simply say no to his offer of peace as Sora revved the Rev arm once again as Hunter made manifest into his hands Draco once again as he coughed a little bit, most likely from overexerting himself as Sora felt the needles of the Reverse Flow system prick into his hand as he clicked the brake handle.

"ENHANCED GEAR!" The Rev Arm shouted as before Hunter could unleash another attack from Draco, Sora acted first by punching the air with the Rev arm, causing it to rip apart as Hunter had to immediately deploy the saw blade of Draco to protect himself as the air itself struck the blade and made him stumble quite a bit as Sora for the first time, took to the offensive properly as he charged towards Hunter and began to deliver a series of combination punches right towards Hunter's direction, testing Hunter's guard properly as he threw punches aimed for his head and body while mixing it up with kicks from out of nowhere as Hunter used Draco to block most of them, surprised to see that Sora was not flinching from directly striking metal with his bare fist and legs.

Hunter was not going to let Sora simply have all of the offense at this point and began to swing himself. However attacks that were effective before, his fast but calculated swings, were starting to get countered as Sora himself was starting to use more and more of his drive, delving more into the future to continuously see what attacks Hunter was going to be throwing at him and using the speed he has to dodge out of the way. As he did so, Sora could feel a sense of exhaustion kick in as he revved the Rev Arm before clicking the Brake handle and releasing the arm back into it's blade form.

"ENHANCED GEAR!" The Rev Blade shouted as before Hunter could get away, Sora grabbed him by his shirt with teeth, swinging with the rev blade right onto Draco itself, causing the blade to blast away as Sora released his grip from Hunter's shirt, causing Hunter to lose balance. As Hunter landed on his ass, He was quick to respond by standing up and away from Sora's knee, aimed towards his chest which would have knocked the wind out of his chest as Sora had to temporarily dismiss his Drive to reduce the fatigue it was causing.

As soon as Hunter saw the lack of a seal on Sora's eye, he immediately acted by charging forward without Draco, delivering punches towards Sora that were starting to land as Sora had to focus on deflecting the blows rather than taking them directly as he raised his foot to dodge Hunter's attempt on stomping on his knee to break it or at least make him lose his balance as Sora noticed that Hunter was starting to lose his breath as well.

'Hunter running on empty? Either I have been pushing him harder than I realized or something is very wrong with him.' Sora thought as despite seeing the exhaustion, Sora knew better than letting his opponent catch his breath as this simply made him want to end the fight as soon as possible. "Sorry about this Hunter!" Sora shouted as he weaved his way through one of Hunter's punches before seeing his chance of punching him right in the ribs.

Closing his eyes for a second, Sora's focus came in for a second as he aimed his fist towards Hunter's stomach, dropping the Rev Blade to the ground as Hunter's eyes were focused on the Rev Blade for that split second he felt a gut wrenching feeling slam right into his stomach. Sora on the other hand did not expect his fist to collide with something metallic as when Hunter flew away for a bit, Sora could notice that the skin on the knuckles of his hand had peeled a bit, causing some bleeding as that was not the result he had expected at all.

'Hunter's wearing metal protection underneath that shirt of his?' Sora theorized but was soon proven wrong when he got a glimpse of Hunter's shirt while standing up, now having a small punch hole made from Sora's fist and no metal protection underneath that shirt, confusing Sora now as Hunter shook the pain off and saw his chance, running towards Sora as suddenly, Sora felt his shoulders getting grabbed as his eyes could only widen at the oh shit moment coming towards him.

"HHHRAAGGHH!" Hunter yelled, in almost a primeval manner as his forehead slammed right into Sora's, dazing him as they both crashed to the ground. Sora felt his world get rocked as Hunter got on top of him and began to throw punches, Sora barely able to raise his arm to block the onslaught as Hunter did not relent with the punches. "What...You...Finish...Now..." A voice spoke as that was enough to awaken Sora to something being very wrong as he looked up to see Hunter making manifest Draco in his hand, with the clear intention of using it to finish him off.

Raising his knees quickly, Sora kneed Hunter in the back to get him off, grabbing the Rev blade off the ground and transforming it back to it's arm form as he grabbed a piece of rubble caused by Hunter's previous attack and tossed it right into Hunter's eyes, blinding him with the close range toss as Sora knew he had to subdue Hunter immediately before things got out of hand. "Sorry Hunter… But this is for your own good." Sora said as he revved the Rev Blade with the reverse flow on, biting his lips as the pain was starting to build up.

'An Enhanced Finish is not going to be enough… if that's the case...' Soon, Sora made a gigantic risk by revving the Rev Blade a second time with the reverse flow on, sending an electric like reaction all throughout his back as Hunter heard the Rev arm shout something out. "OVERDRIVE DISTORTION GEAR!" The Rev System shouted as Sora's hand started to bleed hard as he clicked the rev handle to activate the system.

"OVERDRIVE DISTORTION FINISH!" The system shouted as Hunter knew he had to block the next attack as that would be his opening to land a finishing blow on Sora. Sora soon coiled his back as the energy began to build up on his arm, charging up to dangerous levels of Seithr that would immediately make a person or animal go berserk as Hunter couldn't believe what he was seeing as he quickly formed a flame barrier to protect himself from the next attack.

"DEN!" Sora shouted as he uncoiled, thrusting the Rev Arm right towards Hunter's flame barrier as he immediately felt the impact of the blow strike him hard, his arm immediately bleeding from the sheer force of the attack. 'Right! Now's...' As Hunter got himself ready to counter attack, he immediately realized that Sora was already coiling back for another attack, realizing that he needed to guard for much longer than he had expected.

"RI!" Sora shouted as his normal fist right into the flame barrier, a gust of Seithr blowing through said fist as Hunter felt his feet lose their traction on the ground as Sora aggressively punched both him and himself right into the air, both of them taking to the air as Sora had coiled his metal arm for another punch while energy began to build up on his left feet. All Hunter could do at this point was simply keep his flame barrier up and hope that it would be able to withstand what happens next.

"SO!" As Sora delivered the final blow, a punch/kick combo with the metal fist first smashing the flame barrier out completely as Hunter formed a second flame barrier to shield himself desperately for the second attack before things got even worse. The second barrier came just in time as it wasn't enough to stop the attack but it was enough to prevent further damage as both him and Sora crashed towards the ground, creating a massive cloud of rubble and dust in the process as soon both fighters were left on the ground.

Sora soon stumbled to his feet, the attack he had unleashed had taken more of his energy than he had expected. The combination of using the reverse flow and a distortion drive at the same time winded him out much more than normal as he felt his legs shake like jello for a little bit as he soon collapsed to his ass and continued to pant hard. "Jesus Christ… what is this exhaustion am I feeling?.." Sora said in Japanese as his eyes focused on Hunter's direction, to make sure he didn't lose sight of where Hunter was.

"God… I hope I didn't overdo it in my attempt to subdue Hunter..." Sora thought as Hunter slowly stirred from the ground, gasping for air as he quickly stood up on his feet, adrenaline rushing through his body to keep him awake despite the severity of the attack which was not much. "What… You stopping now?.. Huh?!" Hunter said as Sora himself slowly tensed himself back to a stance, his body feeling the effects of the distortion as he couldn't help but worry if he was in any shape to continue fighting in the first place.

"Come on… I can do this all day!" Hunter yelled, Sora tensing even more as he was not sure what was going to happen next. Was Hunter going to lunge for him with Draco and try to slice him to bits? Was he going to have to use deadly force at this point to subdue him? All these questions and more lingered in Sora's mind as he simply remained tense while Hunter charged towards him, Draco in hand. However that soon changed when he suddenly noticed Hunter's facial expression change from one of anger into one of sudden pain and anguish.

"H-HUNTER!?" Sora yelled, immediately releasing stance and running towards Hunter as he caught him while he was falling down to the ground as he clutched his chest in pain. "AAAHHGGHH..." Hunter moaned as Sora couldn't help but look even more confused as to what was going on. 'Is he...suffering a heart attack right now!?' Sora thought as his instincts kicked in at that moment. No longer was he focused on trying to fend of Hunter but more on trying to save him from what was a heart attack.

'Shit! I don't have any aspirin to try and relax this heart attack and making a phone call to the hospital is also not a good idea if he's being this secretive… FUCK!' Sora thought as he decided that he needed to at least lie Hunter down on the ground and try to stabilize him on the ground instead of his lap as thankfully, the hard surface of the ground proved effective enough to at least act as a makeshift table as Sora began to try and apply compression to the problem.

'Shit! I need to be careful with how much...' Before Sora could think any further of what he could do to save Hunter. A huge gust of wind swept him off his feet, sending him flying towards a pole and bending it with his body. A pain echoed throughout his spine as he groaned in extreme pain for what the wind caused as Sora couldn't help but immediately enter into a battle stance once again against an unknown adversary

"WHO'S THERE!" Sora shouted as he noticed a black body of what appeared to be shadows come out and swallow Hunter as Sora immediately ran towards his direction to try and save him, making a dive for him but was too slow as the shadows fully consumed Hunter in the process as he slammed his fist to the ground in frustration by what was going on as he stood up. "COME ON OUT! WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW!?" Sora thought, theorizing that Hunter was currently in the hands of the person who conjured up and swallowed him up with the shadows.

"My my… you speak with the eloquence of a normal dog… I might have found someone who is even more of a dog than the normal dog." A voice spoke as Sora couldn't help but look around in confusion. "Eloquence of…. WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" Sora shouted, ignoring the insult tossed his way as soon in front of him, a gothic lolita girl appeared in front of him. To Sora, this little girl appearing out of nowhere was someone he did not know at all, but to the rest of us, we simply know her as Rachel Alucard as a conversation soon began between each other.

Rachel: My, demanding such things without even bothering to ask them in a polite way… I do not blame you however. We are meeting each other for the first time.

Sora: Well yeah… So can you answer the question before I throw the next punch at your face? I don't discriminate against little girls and I won't hesistate to send you packing back to mommy you stuck up… lady?

Rachel: Hmph! My name is simply Rachel Alucard...Boy. And just so you know, I am much older than even you are so it will do you good to address me in a much more polite tone than the one you are using.

Sora: Well then… I would like to believe you are older… if you do not look like a little girl but hey. You have found the elixir of life and now have eternal youth. That's great. You want to know what I think? I don't care how old you are. All I care is that you have my friend Hunter in your custody and I want him back. Now we can make this easy Rachel and you can hand him back to me… or we can skip the talking and get to fighting… unless you need your butler to fight for you.

Rachel:… As much as I would like to be angered by such slanderous words coming out of your mouth. I have more pressing matters to attend to right now. Like taking care of Hunter Long. The man you have injured yourself.

"OH really now? And what's going to stop me from pursuing you any further?" Sora said, his feet moving forward as Rachel simply took a deep breath as Sora began to run, fist coiled in for a punch as Rachel knew she had to say a few words to subdue the man before he got any more violent. "Makoto Nanaya knows that you are in Kagutsuchi right now and you should be spending your time to find her instead of fighting me." Those words spoken by Rachel immediately made Sora stop his attack in his tracks, his fist slowly coiling back to a normal fist as Rachel used that as her chance to escape, disappearing through a cloud of darkness as rose petals struck him in the face.

"W-WAIT DAMMIT!" Sora yelled, snapping out of what Rachel had said as he couldn't believe he allowed what she had said to cause him to be distracted as he grabbed the back of his head in frustration over a basic mistake he made. "FUCK!" Sora yelled, realizing he had allowed Hunter to get kidnapped by the girl called Rachel as frustration build up within Sora at how he allowed the words of a Gothic Lolita girl to get the better of him at the end of the day.

'Even if her words are true… SHIT!" Sora yelled as all he simply did was just kick the pole his body had crashed into. His feet not feeling any pain as the pole itself was shaking more than Sora's own foot kicking the pole several times. The frustration… disappointment and confusion he felt deep inside simply left him with more questions than answers which was not what he had wanted… as something was starting to become very clear to him at this point…

...He had stumbled onto a situation that he does not know about…
