Stony Attack with a Thundering Entrance
"I see, I see, thank you for your hard work." A round man with a black hat and a red coat thanked his spy before hanging up.
"Well, it looks like I located him, now it's time to let it all fun wild." The man chuckled evilly.
(With Masane)
Masane is seen looking out the window of the seeing the raining is still pouring on since it starts a few moments ago, but her mind is on something else than just the rain.
"Are you worried about Ikki and Stella, mother?" Shizuku asked walking up to her.
"Yeah, I figured those two must be having the time of their life and other fun things if you know what I mean." Masane said, being a little tease.
"Just know that I intend on becoming the third woman who Ikki will mate." Shizuku stated as she doesn't intend on being behind her adopted mother and Stella forever.
"Figured as much, but you'll have to be patient with Ikki when he's in the mood." Masane advised.
"I will try my best. Although, I may have to come very forward with Ikki that he won't be able to think straight for hours." Shizuku smiled, feeling a little arouse from the thoughts.
"Yet I can't help but get a bad feeling that something is happening right now with Ikki being caught in that danger." Masane concerned.
"Do not worry, both of them are strong Blazers. So, I'm sure whatever trouble they find themselves into will make it out together." Shizuku believed.
"Let's hope you're right, sweetie." Masane pulled Shizuku closer to her a little and continues watching the rain.
Meanwhile, Kagami is walking through a hallway looking at all the pictures of the training campsite she got to right after the cleaning was all done including some pictures of the Student Council members doing their part.
"I have to say, this turning out to be a good trip." Kagami commented.
(With Ikki and Stella)
"Man, it's like there is no stopping to this rain." Ikki commented as he looks out the window.
Ikki look toward the sleeping Stella under the blanket as he wanted to stay up for a while thinking about all the things that has happened to him up to this point, from how horrible his life was in the Kurogane family until he met his great-grandfather Ryouma and his new mother Masane in that snowstorm.
"It was almost like the universe brought mom to me as a way for the Gods answering my prayer to save me." Ikki smiled.
"I can still remember how it was, moving out of that house." Ikki said as he begun remembering that day.
(Flashback)
"You're going to what?" Ikki's father, Itsuki Kurogane asked glaring at Ryouma.
"It is just as I said, Ikki will no longer be part of this disgraceful and idiotic family who cannot view every life is precious hold strength in each." Ryouma glared back while Masane and little Ikki are behind him.
"What makes you think you can make a decision like that? You're not head of the family anymore, remember?" Itsuki reminded the old fool.
"While that is true, I can still fight like I'm in my prime again and can take all of your fools on at once." Ryouma stated and unleash a powerful shockwave at his family.
"I pity you, Itsuki. You were forced to become a puppet to the idiotic ideals of the old ways of the Kurogane family when you could've done things of your own free will." Ryouma concerned for his grandson.
"Say whatever you want, the family is the strongest in the nation and we don't need such weak emotions nor weaklings to back us down." Itsuki stated, turning his sight toward Ikki and Masane.
"If you wish to take that brat with you, then go ahead and be gone so we can never see him again." Itsuki said harshly.
"How can you say that to your own son? No parent should ever be this cruel to his own child, that goes families too, there should always be love but you guys are nothing but cold-hearted bitches who are too scared to realize what love is!" Masane insulted.
Masane's words struck them in the core making them feel angry at her though she isn't fazed by them because she could care less, and the only thing she wants to do right now is care for Ikki with all of her being.
Itsuki just simply glares at the woman guessing she is too young to be a mother and seems to be a screw up, meaning she is like a child trying to act like a grown up and is struggling so bad, but this also means the Kurogane family won't have to suffer having Ikki to dishonor the name.
"Big brother." Little Shizuku called out walking a few steps forward.
"Shziuku, what do you think you're doing?" Itsuki asked causing the girl to flinch.
"B-Big brother is leaving." Shizuku pointed at Ikki.
"So what? He's no longer your big brother, he is just a stranger with no place in the world and hold no meaning to our family." Itsuki stated.
"No! I don't want big brother to leave!" Shizuku ran up and hugged Ikki surprising him a little.
"Should we kick her out too, father?" Ouma asked, believing Shizuku has chosen a fool's path.
"No, she is strong with power that would make our family soar higher even if we have to discipline her to obey the family." Itsuki walked to the scared Shizuku.
Ikki saw his father coming and held Shizuku close to defend her little sister as Itsuki didn't have time for this nonsense, he raises his hand to smack Ikki away from Shizuku and take her back as the boy brace himself.
But the pain didn't happen because the hand never made contact to him, Ikki looks up seeing that his father's arm has been grabbed by Masane with a scary-angry look on her face as she glares at the man.
"I only just met you and I can already tell you are nothing but bullshit, calling yourself a father which is lie because the only thing you care about is fame and reputation." Masane angered.
"You do not know everything about this family, so what would you know?" Itsuki asked.
Itsuki tries to pull his arm back from the woman only to feel her grip is getting tighter causing him to flinch in a slight pain, then his eyes widen of shock when he saw Masane's eyes glowing yellow and her hair moving like it's alive with the red jewel on her bracelet glowing. He suddenly feels something odd coming off from this woman, almost like she is not even human anymore and a sudden burst of a shockwave emits from Masane causing everyone around to her tremble in fear.
"(What is this? Is she a Blazer, but this power feels different?)" Itsuki thought as he can feel his legs shaking and every fiber in his body are telling him not to mess with this woman.
"Masane, I think that's enough. Don't want to scare the children now." Ryouma called out.
Masane turns around to see Ikki for a moment which calms her down from this sudden charge and let's go of Itsuki.
"I can promise you, the next time you see Ikki, he will be far more than anyone of you could ever hope for. Not that you had any to begin with." Masane warned as she walks away.
"Hey, do you want to come with us?" Masane asked Shizuku, but the little girl hid behind Ikki as she is still scared of her.
"I see you're scared, but that's okay. I'm an okay girl for you to hang around with." Masane smiled causing Shizuku to look at her one more time.
"I'm afraid she's gonna have to stay here, until the time comes for her to leave this family for good on her own terms as she considers Ikki to her only family." Ryouma stated.
"Well, that's too bad, but I guess we can wait a bit longer we can be a family together." Masane stroked Shizuku's head making her smile.
"Now, it's time for us to go." Ryouma said.
Masane and Ikki wave goodbye to Shizuku before following Ryouma out the door as the two will begin a new life together.
(Flashback End)
"I never seen my dad shake like that in fear, but I guess that was satisfying to see him scared of mom." Ikki chuckled.
Just as he finishes remembering that day, Ikki sense something odd outside and decided to go check it himself to see what it is, but there is nothing out there which confuses the young man.
"Hmm, could've sworn I felt something here." Ikki said to himself.
That is when Ikki felt his instinct kicking in and he turns around to see a giant rock creature behind the wooden shed house as it raises both arms getting ready to smash the house.
"STELLA!" Ikki screamed as he quickly uses his superspeed to get inside the house to get his girlfriend.
The rock creatures smash the shed into pieces along with everything else inside, all except for Ikki and Stella as he managed to get her out.
"Ikki, what's going on?" Stella as she woke up from the sudden noise.
"Stay here, I'll take care of this." Ikki gently placed Stella down to a tree and turns around facing the rock creature.
"Come to me, Intetsu!" Ikki summoned his sword and leaps strong and fast at the rock creature.
"The First Secret Sword: Saigeki!" Ikki destroyed the rock creature into little pieces.
However, the victory was short-lived when Ikki turns around seeing all the rock pieces that was once of the rock creature suddenly came together into multiple rocker creatures though are smaller than the big one.
"The Hell is this thing?" Ikki shocked of this and wonder what is going on here.
The rock creatures charge at Ikki to smash him into the ground as he dodges their slow yet strong attacks and counters with strong attacks of his own but like before these rock monsters keep on coming back and reforming into fewer more than before.
Two of the rock creatures jumped at Ikki at the same time as he locks their rocky fists and force them down to blitz past them destroying them as well, but those rock creatures came back together and more of the rock creatures came charging at him together.
"(Why are they after us?)" Ikki thought wondered why and how these creatures are here, trying to think of any reason though it's really hard while trying to fight off.
Stella looks toward her lover trying so hard to fight off the rock creatures and started to hate herself for not being able to do anything to help, then she looks down seeing several of those rock creatures were looking at her and walking towards her.
"Back off, only Ikki can have me!" Stella shouted at those rock creatures.
Stella holds up her hand trying to summon her flaming sword, but her mind felt dizzy and her body is warming up which is not in a good way like how she just had sex with Ikki as she can feel she is getting sick.
"(Damn it, why now like this?)" Stella thought asked.
"Stella!" Ikki screamed, worry for his lover.
Ikki tries to go save Stella from being attack, but the rock monsters block as his path and threw some rocky punches at him as he defenses against them though eventually got punch sending him crashing on a rocky side.
"Ikki!" Stella gasped.
The rock creatures turn their attentions back to the girl going after the princess from another country.
"STELLA!" Ikki screamed, praying for something to help her.
Then his pray was answered when Masane suddenly drops down from the sky and slashes at a dozen rock monsters, destroying them and sending the pieces flying away.
"You fuckers better stay the hell away from her!" Masane shouted in rage and in her Blade mode.
"Mom!" Ikki shocked.
"Don't before about us!" Renren blitzed past Ikki to Stella, carrying her away to safety.
"Sorry, we took so long." Renren apologized.
"Renren, thank you." Stella thanked as she was out down to a tree right to Ikki.
"Ikki, are you okay?" Ayase asked coming to Ikki.
"Ayase, everyone, you're all here!" Ikki surprised to see that they have just come saving them from being pounded into the ground.
"You can thank your mother and another for letting us know something odd was going on." IKazuchi explained while hold his giant sword and smashes through a dozen or two of them.
"You're going to pay for what you did to my brother and Stella." Shizuku angered at the rock creatures.
"Keppu San'u!" Shizuku unleashed a furious of water bullets at the rock creatures breaking them apart.
"We won't allow you harm anyone else." Ayase said strongly and swing her sword around leaving some vacuum blade around.
"Mark of the Wind!" Ayase tapped the bottom of the hilt causing the vacuum blades to explode slicing at all the rock creatures that came onto them.
"Hey Renren, let me help you be more everywhere at once." Kagami offered as she brought out her Blade, Raise Up.
Kagami points her sword at Renren and suddenly there are ten Renrens appearing around her.
"Wow, this is so cool! Thanks, Kagami! Guess you're more than a sneaky reporter!" Renren thanked and she along with the clones charge in to continue the attack.
"Just be careful, they'll poof like smoke they get hit or make contact with a person!" Kagami warned.
"Your ability is really amazing, no doubt you would be a great warrior with more practice in your Noble Arts." Ikki complimented to Kagami's power.
"Aw, that's very sweet of you to say." Kagami smiled with her cheeks blushing.
"I've never really seen myself at a fighter, but I think I'll try to be one for you." Kagami said.
Suddenly three rock creatures jump at Kagami to attack her as she didn't have time to react quick enough to dodge, but thankfully Masane comes in slashing those creeps away.
"I thought I saw my life flash before my eyes! Nice save there, Masane!" Kagami thanked and giving Masane a thumb up.
"Well, looks like we came here just in time." Utakata smiled.
"I'm so glad you two are safe." Masane hugged Ikki and Stella.
"We're sorry to have worry you." Stella apologized.
"Don't worry, what's important is that you're safe though the rock guys are becoming annoying." Masane glared at the rock creatures.
"Yeah, they'll keep coming back unless we can find out where they came from. My best guess it must be a Blazer somewhere that's controlling the rocks." Ikki said.
Shizuku is dashing left and right slashing away at the rock creatures, Ayase charges in using her own original technique as she spins around fiercely launching dozens of vacuum blades slices them up, Renren blitz destroying the rock creatures while cheering of excitement.
"You're probably right, this looks like the work of a Steel Wire User." Utakata believed that's to be the case.
"Steel Wire User?" Ikki wondered what kind of Blazer that is.
IKazuchi smashes down some more rock creatures though few have managed to grab his arms and legs preventing him from moving around again, Kagami gasp when some rock monsters started to come after her now.
"I think I heard about that though I can't quite remember, it had something to do with puppets." Masane struggled to remember what a Steel Wire User is.
"You're actually not that far off. It's a Blazer that can use magical strings to remote control any none-living substance, some of them are able to control from several dozens of kilometers." Utakata explained.
"Then that means we might be able to find the bastard if we keep eating these rocks." Masane realized as Ikki wonders what they can do.
"No matter how far away they are, they're all connected by the same magical power." A young woman said walking past them.
"So, you trace the strings and find the source." She said before jumping into the fray.
"Alright, the President is here!" Masane cheered.
"President, so that's her?" Ikki asked surprise as is Stella.
"Yep, that's Touka Toudou. The Student Council President of Hagun Academy." Masane nodded.
Touka is a beautiful and charming spectacled young woman with long light brown hair tied into two braids in the back with orange eyes. It is also noted that she has a slender yet buxom figure while having a petite waistline with a soft and round butt. She wears the Hagun Academy uniform. Breasts sizes: H-cup.
Touka shouted, emitting literally lightning aura around her aura then charges at the stone monsters destroying them so fast that it looks like she's attacking without drawing out her sword.
She kept destroying them until she finally found the single string attacking it with her lightning, then the rocks form into a giant rock monster to attack but this over was already over for her.
"Raikiri!" One move was all it took to bring down the rock monster and knocking out the puppeteer wherever he is.
"Well done, Miss President, as always." Kanata complimented.
"(So, that's her. The one who almost got into final of the Seven Star tournament, the strongest of Hagun Academy.)" Ikki thought amazed of this woman as Touka walks back to the group.
