AUTHOR NOTE:
This is a segment from the manga "Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha". This manga series is not my own but I altered a little bit of its storyline for this chapter. Again the characters used here are not mine..
KURUMI POV:
"Someone stop Onee." I pleaded trying to reach Basara's heart.
I continued weeping and heard a familiar voice from the light that popped out right in front of me.
"I'll put an end on your suffering, Kurumi." The voice said.
I looked around and saw the face of my beloved Succubus. The one that I left, the one that I've hurt so much, and the one that I loved the most. Naruse Taro.
"Stop crying love." He said to me while he gently strokes his hand through my hair.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"We're here to save Mio-hime-sama." Maou replied.
"How did you enter the barrier?" I asked.
"Just by luck." Taro replied. "Maou (Dale), take care of Kurumi and Basara. I'll just save Hime-sama and our imoto." Taro (Daisuke) ordered his twin.
"Hai." Maou agreed and Taro changed into his Succubus form and used his magic to fly.
TARO POV:
"I can't move!" The man with the spear shouted. "Could it be Kurumi?" He added.
"It is not Kurumi but me." I said while floating in the air.
"Who are you?" The guy asked.
"I am your worst nightmare!" I said and gave him a grin.
"Taro?" Yuki asked?
"You know my Onii-sama?" Maria asked Yuki.
"It is a long story Maria. But first, I'll settle the deal with this asshole." I replied and returned a sharp look on the guy with the spear.
"Damn it! I can't move. I can't even lift and swing my spear." The guy said.
"Need some help?" Another guy appeared.
"Shiba." Yuki gasped.
"You traitor!" He shouted at Yuki and slapped her hard.
"Don't you dare touch her like that!" I yelled to that Shiba-guy.
"Who the hell are you?" He asked.
"Naruse Taro. One of the twin Succubus bodyguards of the late devil lord." I replied.
"The Succubus who can control all the elements. How entertaining." Shiba said.
"I can't move!" He said when I changed the gravity around him.
"You freed me from that attack so now I can kill you." The spear boy said.
"Let's go Byakko!" He said and swung his spear and created a shockwave.
"Is that all you've got?" I said when I changed the gravity of the shockwave and dissolved it.
"How can you do that? Is it kind of a banishing shift like Basara?" He asked.
"Takashi, he is a Succubus that can control all elements including gravity." Yuki said.
"So you are using gravity against me." Takashi asked.
"Battling a speed type is a hassle. But if I can slow you down for a bit." I said. "Burning feathers of phoenix, lend me your power: Flame shurikens!" I summoned a batch of shurikens aiming Takashi. "Eat that." I added.
"So a mana type Succubus have a courage to battle a speed type hero like me?" He asked when he popped out of my back.
"I'm not just a mana type." I said and landed my fist on his face.
"Shit! He's a power type also." Takashi said after he'd recovered from my attack. "Where'd he go?" He said while looking for me.
"Blades that can cut off anything and everything: Leaf Blades!" I summoned my next attack just right behind him.
"So he's an all-rounder." Shiba commented.
"He can also summon spells at will with a little span of time just to hit a speed type." Maria added.
"Byakko!" Takashi shouted and summoned a shockwave stronger than before. "Take that!" He yelled.
"Winds from the east conquer the valleys and plains: Wind Destroyer!" I summoned a cyclone that absorbed the shockwave then attacked him with another punch.
"Ha, too slow." He shouted when he caught my hand before landing on his face.
"Don't be so sure of that." I replied and opened my palm. "Phoenix lend me your strength: Cannon Ball!" I summoned fire balls just in front of his face that made him fly away.
"He lost. But I am still here." Shiba said.
"I know." I replied.
"How would you like to end this battle?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" He replied.
"I won't hurt or kill you but you'll tell to that Hero Village that Mio-hime-sama is dead and Yuki and Kurumi helped you battle and exterminate the target." I said.
"And if I don't agree?" Shiba asked.
"Then, you'll be a dead meat for us." I replied plainly.
Shiba now decided to change into his battle for and charge me with his power. He was able to dodge my cannon balls but he did not realize that I was aiming for a solid punch on his face. The punch hit and he recoiled. He then attacked me once more but I was able to vanish his attack. He tried once more but did not do me harm.
"Is this the power of a Rank S succubus?" He asked while catching his breath.
"He is not even using a quarter of his power." Maria bragged.
"Skies from above and land from below hear my plea." I started chanting my final blow when he tried to attack me.
"I told you I could attack even if I'm chanting a spell." I said and laid a solid punch on his stomach.
"Exterminate all opposing forces that had the intension of killing me: Wrath of Hell!" I finished my chant and released the spell and Shiba vanished before our eyes.
"Where did he go?" Kurumi asked?
"My attack didn't reach him. Some external forces took him away." Maou replied.
"What do you mean by 'Outside Forces' Maou-nii-sama?" Maria asked.
"Is it by any chance.." I said.
"The Truce." Basara said.
Maou, Basara, and I looked around to see if some demons are around. We saw the shadow demon and a lady demon.
"Are you the ones who are responsible of Shiba's disappearance?" I asked.
"So the rumors are correct. The twin succubus who guarded the late demon lord escaped from their cell." The lady demon said.
"So where did you send that Shiba guy?" I asked.
"We've sent him to a place he'll never escape. Even that spear boy." The shadow demon replied.
"Don't tell me that you've sent them-" Maria said but I cut her.
"Why the hell did you send those two their? Even if they are heroes, they are still humans. Even a Rank S succubus can't stand the negative energy down there." I said.
"It is their choice. You made them choose the path they'd take." The lady demon replied.
"Demo—" Mio said.
"There's no way we can make them return." The demon lady said.
"Relaying on their powers is the only way that they could return." The shadow demon added.
"Or somebody would save them." I said.
"But I cannot send more than two people a day." The demon lady said.
"We can manage." I said as I opened a portal towards that creepy dimension.
"Who's coming with us?" Maou asked.
"I will." Kurumi said.
"Ok then. Let's go. Yuki, Basara, take care of our princess and our imoto for us 'kay?" I said. "Just until we return with your friends." I added.
Basara nodded as we entered the dimension. We left them with those demons I cannot trust. But with Yuki and Basara, Mio-sama and Maria would be safe from those filthy demons from the new demon fraction.
MAOU POV:
I always hated the smell in this dimension. Why would we bother saving those fools if we know that if we save them, they'll continue chasing Mio-sama? What's on Onii-sama's mind? Am I thinking that he'll be making them as his weapons?
"Why are you so serious Maou?" Onii-sama asked.
"Nothing." I replied.
"Oh well. Let's find those two before the monsters here make them their diner." Onii-sama said.
We've searched for the two humans and found Takashi being surrounded by those man-eating monsters and noticing that he reached his limits.
"Tower of the skies, open thee. Release thy thunder and toast those meat: Thunder Blast!" I attacked.
"Waters from the east of Nile, I summon thee: Healing Falls!" Onii-sama summoned his healing waters to heal Takashi but it didn't do anything.
"Wind blowing from the east I summon thee: Healing wind." I tried to heal him using the wind but it didn't help either.
"We will use the last option." Onii-sama said and got one of the two daggers.
"Let's protect him while he revives that Takashi." I said to Kurumi.
"Dagger that once used by our forefathers, hear my plea. Resurrect this young man and make him my weapon." As his magic circle opened, tons of monsters tried to devour the young man's body but Kurumi and I managed to shoo them away.
"Songs of the great sirens hear my plea, Tidal Wave." I commanded a tidal wave and devour half of the monsters. Kurumi then connected with the spirits and controlled the remaining residues of the tidal attacks and used it to defeat the remaining monsters.
"Flames from the underworld answer my prayer: Hell Flames." I burned the monsters' bodies just to be sure that those monsters would not be re-incarnated.
"Resurrect now. Takashi now rise." Onii-sama ordered the spear boy and Takashi instantly rose.
Takashi now summoned Byakko and he helped us in attacking the monsters' unending wave.
"What the hell? Why am I still alive? Those monsters killed me." He asked.
"I revived you 'cause that's what they want. They want you alive." Onii-sama replied.
"Do succubus' have a re-incarnation spell that can revive humans and other beings?" He asked. "Or you used that weapon re-incarnation chant?" He added.
Nobody answered him. He understood it by our actions.
TAKASHI POV:
"Or you used that weapon re-incarnation chant?" I added.
Nobody dared to reply and I understood by their expressions that they had no choice but to re-incarnate me by their weapon re-incarnation chant.
"Who's weapon do I belong now?" I asked.
"His." Kurumi answered briefly while looking at Taro's direction.
"Arigatouguzaimasu Taro-sama." I said.
"Enough for that formality. Just call me Taro." He said. "Let's find Shiba first or these monsters would kill and consume him." He added.
We then followed him and looked for Shiba. I really don't care if Shiba died but we need to hurry cause they wanted to help him. That Shiba deserves to die anyway, but I need to follow the orders of my newly found master.
SHIBA POV:
"Where the hell am I?" I yelled.
I cannot imagine that I am at the monsters' layer. That yell attracted so much monsters and I overused my magic in my fight with that Taro-guy. I am at my limits and noticed a wave of monsters that is arriving from in front of me.
"Burning flames from underworld, flames from beneath our feet, help me: Hell Zinger!" I heard a chant that I knew that it was for helping me.
"Wind from the soccer winds that flows within the mountains above: Mountain Swirl!" Another attack that helped me.
"Byakko!" I heard a familiar voice and a strong wind blew the monsters away.
A change of gravity that I know that Kurumi was on it made the flying monsters fall down.
"Are you ok Shiba?" Taro asked me.
"The hell do you care." I replied.
With a blink of an eye, we did not notice the one monster that stabbed me at my back and fell down. I heard that the two succubus tried their best to heal me but they couldn't. I fainted and accepted that my fate is to die here. I heard that Takashi and Kurumi tries to shoo those monsters away.
TARO POV:
"Reckless guy." Takashi commented.
"I have no choice." I said. "Dagger that once used by our forefathers, hear my plea. Resurrect this young man and make him my weapon." I started chanting while the three of them bought me time. "Resurrect now, Shiba." I ordered.
"How am I still alive?" He asked.
"Too much for an explanation now. Just help us defeat the horde of monsters." I said.
"Who are you to-" He didn't finish his sentence cause the dagger inside him obeyed my order.
We battled the remaining monsters and defeated them.
"Flames from underneath hear my plea: Flame wrath." Taro burned the remains of the monsters so that they would not reincarnate.
TARO POV:
I opened a portal to the whereabouts of Mio-hime-sama and the others after I burnt the remains of those pesky monsters. As we exited the portal, we saw that Basara and the others were currently fighting with the new demon fraction for Mio-sama's power.
"Kurumi! Help Basara and Yuki." I told Kurumi as she flew towards the two. "Maou. Go and help Maria in protecting the hime-sama." I added and Maou rushed to the place where Maria and Mio-sama where.
"What are we gonna do?" Takashi asked.
"If you wanna help, please do so. It's a huge favor for us if you'd help." I replied.
"No need to ask for our help, Taro-sama." Shiba said and headed towards Maou to help them.
"Anything for our master." Takashi added and gave me a big smile and rushed to Basara and the others.
"Winds from the farthest planes here my plea. Support my friends and give them the speed, strength and protection of the wind: Versatile Wind." I said while releasing a spell that could enhance our strength, speed and armor.
Everyone managed to fight the new demon fraction. And afterwards, Yuki and the others did not return to the hero village because they knew that they were treated as a traitor now because of helping us. Days had passed and we helped each other out until the anima took us back to our real world.
