Belief in the Shinobi Heart Triumph
We picked up to the moment the Hebijo girls were having their talk and being cheered up by Ryona in her own weird and special way, and then suddenly something broke out from the duct above crashing onto their bodies.
"Ow, what the fuck just hit us…" Miyabi groaned.
"Okay, maybe all of us in the vent wasn't such a good idea." Homura realized that while feeling the pain along with the ones she got from Rasetsu.
That's when both Homura and Miyabi finally notice each other.
"Is that you, Miyabi? What are you doing here?" Homura asked surprise.
"I should be asking you that." Miyabi said.
"Hmm, this is perfect." Suzune nodded, believing this could work.
"Suzune-Sensei is here too!" Ryobi shocked.
"Listen up! Hebijo and Homura's Crimson Squad are working together now! There's a youma that needs to be dealt with in order to have the Hanzo girls." Suzune ordered.
The Hebijo girls became shocked of hearing that there is a youma in the building as well, and they just heard they need to rescue the Hanzo girls which is all that is telling that the youma is guarding them probably under Fubuki or Arkham's control.
"Alright, we're in." Miyabi said as her team nods.
"Shinobi Transformation!" The Hebijo girls changed into their shinobi form to be ready for the mission.
Miyabi wears Café Noir (Black Coffee) colored cape with white markings at the top left while the cape is over a white and yellow, high collared coat with black linings held by a double strap with a buckle logo of some sort of a snake, a burgundy sash and two small brown leather straps crisscrossed at the bottom front. The coat exposes a large amount of her breasts. A portion of her thighs and bottom are exposed as well, revealing that Miyabi wear yellow panties, dark grey thigh-highs stockings socks and white boots with Café Noir top lining adorned with black straps. Miyabi also wears a black choker and a silver necklace. Her left arm is covered by white bandages and black leather straps.
Imu's outfit is a somewhat military style: Medium green boots with a black cross pattern, stockings going to slightly above her knees, a plated white skirt with a red line on the down part of the body. On the upper part she wears a green coat with black lines and crosses, black collar and shoulder pads. She wears a green beret and glasses.
Murasaki wears a long, black dress with gray trimmings, and has a prominent bust.
Ryobi wears a white button-down "dress" shirt that has the waist wrapped in a belt that holds all of her extra-large bullets. Underneath is a big, black dress that goes all the way down to her ankles, which, along with her legs and feet, are covered by white thigh-high stockings and red dress shoes. Then, she wears a red hair band and a red overcoat-like shirt reminiscent of Native American clothes. Finally, she wears a tied black ribbon to look like tied shoelaces with the casual "bunny ears." And her breasts have grown into size about I-cup.
Ryona's shinobi outfit is a white outfit with a short, wide ballerina tutu decorated with triangular patterns. The top of the outfit ends in two triangles held together by thin threads which keep the back held together. More threads reach from each triangle to the other triangle to keep from exposing her bust and the front of the outfit from falling off (both of these things she probably wouldn't have a problem with). She also wears white stockings with triangular cut tops trimmed with gold, uncomfortable-looking platform boots that reach up to under her knees which are trimmed the same way as her stockings (her arms also share the same trend). Finally, her outfit is accessorized with two angelic wings and a silver tiara on her head.
"We're ready." Miyabi said.
"Hold on, before we bring you to this youma, there is something you should know because once you hear this, you may start to question the Shinobi Council more." Homura warned.
"What do you mean?" Imu asked.
"Let just say it's connected to Neppe and he trusted us with the tale of his life, I guess he must've figured we would tell you this as well consider Asuka already knows about it too." Homura explained.
"Whatever you're about to tell us, it won't change the fact that we'll help you rescue the Hanzo girls." Miyabi stated.
"Yeah, after this, they'll owe us big time!" Ryobi grinned.
"Okay, just warning you." Homura nodded and started telling the whole story about Neppe, everything as she made sure that she didn't leave any detail out.
The more the Hebijo girls listen of everything Homura and Suzune has told them, the more they started to shake in a little fear and in shock of what they are hearing like some youmas having the same intelligence as humans and the Neppe is Fubuki's twin brother and they're half-youma too.
"Homura!" Miyabi clutched her fists and grab Homura by the shirt.
"Look at me in the eyes and tell me that everything you just said is true and not some made up bullshit!" Miyabi demanded while her hands are shaking.
Homura looks into Miyabi's eyes for a moment seeing that hearing this truth about the youmas has really shaken her up to the core, she grabs the white-haired girl's hand off her shirt and holding them in her hands for comfort.
"It's all true, every word I said came from Neppe and everything he said to us is true. We even had the same reaction just like you guys are feeling right now." Homura said truthfully.
Miyabi looks down grunting as she and her team are having trouble processing this new information they just got.
"I can't believe there are youmas that can think and act like humans." Imu said.
"Why is it that nobody told us about this, or do even the older shinobis know?" Murasaki asked.
"Is because the Shinobi Council have kept this quiet for a long time, still believing the Youmas are the enemy to humanity and want them destroy on sight. They don't even care if a youma just wanted to make peace with a human as they'll just kill the youma and anyone who knows this secret too." Hikage stated.
"Man, you really just say whatever comes into your mind, huh?" Mirai surprised.
"But that is mostly the case, the Shinobi Council of both Good and Evil would do anything to maintain the order that has been known today without any trouble." Suzune said.
"It's cruel for them to think of something that they don't fully understand, and they even tried to kill two lives just because they were born as the way they are." Ryona complained.
"I agree with the pervert dog. Who could they just deem them life threating before they were even born?" Ryobi complained.
"Well, I think we wasted enough time. We have to get going and save the others." Homura reminded everyone and looked at Miyabi.
"If you don't feel like coming then that's fine." Homura said.
"This truth is scary, more so than what you've been scared of in a long time, and we won't hold it against you if you choose to leave right now. We'll find a way to deal with the youma without you or your team." Homura offered a chance for them to leave.
Homura turns around to walk away thinking the Hebijo girls still need more time to think about and hopefully she can try fighting Rasetsu again at her full power, then she felt a hand grabbing hers and turn around seeing Miyabi.
"It's true that this news you've given me is something unheard of and shocking, but don't think for a second that I'm scared to help my friends." Miyabi showed Homura her strong eyes.
"I'll help you save the Hanzo girls and I'll fight that youma too." Miyabi decided.
"Wherever Miyabi goes, I'm going too." Imu joined in.
"Me too, I want to help those girls." Murasaki said trying to sound brave.
"Let shut up and get going already." Ryobi excited.
"And maybe Master Neppe can give me a reward for helping!" Ryona giggled with a lustful smile.
"Oh good, I was worried there for a second." Yomi sighed in relief.
"Now let's go while the Shinobi Tournament is going." Suzune said.
(With Arkham)
"Hmm, it would appear those shinobis are coming back with reinforcement." Arkham said watching a security footage in the Hebijo locker room.
Arkham moves to another screen with Rasetsu still standing guard of the sleeping Hanzo girls with her arms crossed under her large breasts.
"Rasetsu, the shinobis from earlier are coming back and they'll be bringing the Hebijo girls for more firepower." Arkham alerted.
"Very well, I will lay them to waste like I did before." Rasetsu responded.
"See that you do." Arkham said before turning off the speaker box.
"It looks like things are going along greatly, but my time is still not here. Luckily, I'm a patient man." Arkham smirked with his eyes glowing red under his hood.
(With Rasetsu)
Rasetsu look at her hands doing a little deep thinking of a certain past, like the time when Neppe used to play with her as a little child then to the time when she first held him and Fubuki as little babies, and the moment when little Neppe first looked at her and giggles.
"If only we could go back to those times." Rasetsu said to herself.
"Are you the youma called Rasetsu?" Miyabi asked as she and her team lands about ten feet from Rasetsu.
"You let the Hanzo girls go now." Miyabi demanded.
"Think you got a chance against me?" Rasetsu asked with a frighten glare.
"I'm always willing to take the challenge to fight strong opponents, especially if it helps my team get stronger and save my friends." Miyabi smirked.
"Let's hope you can do better than those last ones who were here." Rasetsu said feeling a little excited.
"Why don't you tell us that?" Homura asked sarcastically as she and the others land on the other side.
"I was wondering when you would show up." Rasetsu smirked.
"Man, hearing a youma talk like a human is freaky." Ryobi commented.
"But we can't back down now, we fight for our friends." Murasaki said being brave.
"Hope you're ready for a buffet of pain!" Homura excited and pulls out her swords.
"Let's attack her all at once." Suzune suggested.
Rasetsu is feeling excited to fight some strong Shinobis like the ones in front of her right right being around the same age as Lady Fubuki, but she had to remind herself not to get too emotionally because she has a duty to fulfill.
"Come and make your death!" Rasetsu growled.
(Back at Arena)
Asuka and Senko charges at each other throwing one of their strong attacks causing the clash to be so intense that they were sent flying from each other.
"No, Senko!" Gekko hurried to her twin sister.
"We're not done yet." Senko said as she gets back up.
"Whatever they hit us with, we'll hit them back twice as hard." Senko determined to win this battle for the code she and Gekko believes in.
"We'll deal double what they dish out." Gekko nodded and the two charge at their enemy, starting with Yumi.
Yumi got herself ready to take on their attacks though been thinking that she should use her Ice Queen Mode for this, then Asuka jumps right in front of her.
"What are you doing?" Yumi asked.
"I'll keep those two busy, you focus on finishing them off." Auska suggested a plan.
"Right." Yumi nodded.
Asuka charges in on getting those two distracted long enough for Yumi to finish them off with one last attack.
"Looks like this battle is just about done." Neppe smiled.
"Indeed, those two are going to show them what really power in the belief in ones' heart is truly like." Kagura nodded.
"It's not too late to walk away from this. You don't know what you're really getting yourselves into." Asuka offered.
"Don't you dare joke with us!" Senko glared.
"We will never surrender to the likes of you!" Gekko added and threw her spiked mirror at Asuka.
Asuka stood her ground catching the spiked mirror with her swords though struggle for a moment until she manages to throw it away, but then Senko sprint at her with a punch in the stomach.
"(Damn it, that knocked the win out of me… But I can't give up!)" Asuka thought determined to see this through to the end.
Asuka grabs hold of Senko's arm and lifts her up with some strong spinning for a few seconds until she let's go allowing Senko to be sent flying and crash right onto Gekko.
"Yumi!" Asuka called out as she fell onto the floor.
Yumi jumps high and toward the twins just when they got off of each other and back up on their feet, the Gessen Shinobi Leader lands between them and unleash a powerful ice tornado that hit the twins dead on from close-up dealing them lots of damage.
Senko and Gekko scream in pain as most of their shinobi clothes have been torn off and they fell unconscious.
"We did it, we won!" Asuka smiled.
"Asuka, we won!" Yumi smiled.
"Guess that's that." Neppe smiled for those two.
(Some time Ago)
Yumi and Asuka were about to make their final clash, but the old ninja Kurokage stop it and pulls Yumi into a hug.
"Stop this already, you've done enough." Kurokage said.
"Why are you here? You should be resting." Yumi asked.
"I realize there are more important things in life than one's own belief. Living with you is what taught me how precious life can be." Kurokage expressed making Yumi gasp.
"My dear Yumi, you are my light in this dark world." Kurokage said dearly.
"Thank you, Grandpa. I'm so sorry." Yumi sobbed into Kurokage's chest.
"It seems as though we've lost this battle." Kurokage stated.
"That's not true. I'm the one who lost." Asuka said.
"How so?" Kurokage asked, confuse.
"There is a world of pure good. Without black or white." Asuka believed as she is crying of joy.
"Where did you find this place?" Kurokage asked.
"It's right there." Asuka gestured her hand to Yumi.
"Kurokage, at this very moment, it's in your arms." Asuka answered.
"That's true. I suppose you're right." Kurokage realized and tears starts to pour out of his eyes letting his emotions sink in.
"All this time, it was right in front of me, within arms' reach." Kurokage said feeling happier than he ever did in his whole life.
(Later at Night)
"The definition of justice can change depending on your actions. Therefore, your version of justice will shine quietly in the darkness, just like the moon." Kurokage gave Yumi his final lesson.
"Yes, grandpa." Yumi smiled.
"I also hope you will meet those two again." Kurokage said.
"Those two? What do you mean?" Yumi asked.
"You will find out someday." Kurokage decided to give Yumi an easy answer.
(Present)
Yumi walks up to Senko and Gekko as she decided to give them the same lesson she got from her grandfather.
"Become the justice of the moon." Yumi said getting their attention.
"My grandpa's final lesson was for me to become like the moon." Yumi revealed.
"What does that mean?" Gekko confused.
"You know, the moon doesn't stand out like the sun does. With that in mind, justice should be a little more low-key too, don't you think?" Shiki explained.
"Oh, I get it! It means pancakes covered in honey and cream are wonderful and delicious, but even without those toppings and plain ol' butter, they're still good too." Minori stated of what she is getting at.
Yozakura offered the twins robs for them to cover up their naked bodies, but they refused and walked away.
"No, that's not quite right, Minori." Shiki said.
"Huh, wait, it's not?" Minori confused.
"But the sound of pancakes does sound delicious." Neppe walked up to them.
"Here, something for you to hold on after I beat Fubuki." Neppe handed Yumi a photo showing a picture of herself, Neppe, and Fubuki as kids.
"This is… From back then." Yumi surprised.
"Even though you forgotten about us, I never forgotten about you in my heart and you're about to see just how strong I am now." Neppe excited then glares at Fubuki.
"Fubuki, it's time we fight once more!" Neppe called out.
"Yes, my dear brother, time for the battle we've both been waiting for!" Fubuki declared loudly.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Asuka and Yumi have succeed in winning their battle against Senko and Gekko, and now it is final time for the fated battle between the youma and human hybrid that may decide the fate of everyone in the tower if Neppe will convince Fubuki to change her ways or Fubuki may end his life.
