Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing the aftermath of Akane learning about her past and getting revenge on Jiraiya and Tsunade, along with the new guests at Hogwarts, along with the release of another Demon Sorcerer and locating another Oni Mask. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
"What do you want Shendu? I was busy." Bai Tza said as she entered the Great Hall, annoyed at being pulled away from the Black Lake, having been summoned by her brother for some reason.
After she had enforced her will on the Merpeople within the Black Lake, along with the Grindylows and the giant squid, the Water Demon had begun the construction of an underwater palace. A construction which she had been overseeing, until Shendu had suddenly sent his Shadowkhan to request her presence. Finding her brother sitting on his throne, with Bai Tza noting his Familiar wasn't anywhere in sight.
"Always so impatient sister. I simply wished to inform you that Po Kong has been freed, she should be making her home within the Forbidden Forest as we speak." Replied Shendu, with Bai Tza raising a brow hearing.
"Po Kong in the Forbidden Forest? I'm sure that many of the creatures there will soon start vanishing, with her there, that is if Dai Gui hasn't killed all of them by now." Stated Bai Tza.
"Why do you think I sent her there." Shendu said, having sent Po Kong to the Forbidden Forest for that very reason, to make sure she didn't end up eating any of the students, when the school year started again.
"Well if that's all you wished to say, I'll be going back to my lake." Said Bai Tza, before turning to leave, only to be stopped when Shendu raised a hand.
"One other thing did happen while we were in Japan. We met another Demon Sorcerer, one you're quite familiar with." Shendu said smirking, just as the doors opened and a blue blur rushed in, revealing to be Liquidelle when she wrapped her arms around Bai Tza.
"Mother!" Said Liquidelle, while smiling happily at being reunited with her mother, as Bai Tza's eyes widened in surprise.
"Liquidelle?" Bai Tza said, shocked at seeing her daughter again, while Liquidelle soon realized what she was doing and quickly pulled back.
"Oh right, forgive me. It's wonderful to see you again, mother." Said Liquidelle as she bowed to Bai Tza, remembering that her mother never liked public displays of affection.
Only for Bai Tza to place a hand on her chin and lift her head up.
"You have grown much, my daughter." Bai Tza said with a small unnoticeable smile, also pleased at seeing her daughter again after thousands of years, with Liquidelle returning the smile.
"Thank you, mother. And I'm sure you'll be happy to know that while in your absence, I have been ruling Atlantis in your stead. Along with feeding global crises over the centuries, to one day flood the entire world as a tribute to you." Said Liquidelle proudly, with Bai Tza's smile widening before she laughed wickedly.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, I taught you well my child! And you are correct, I'm pleased to hear that my kingdom has not fallen into ruin in my absence." Replied Bai Tza, glad to know that when the time comes, she'll be able to return to her kingdom without much difficultly.
The Water Demon then turned back to Shendu.
"Thank you for returning Liquidelle to me, brother." Bai Tza said, while inclining her head, with Shendu smirking as he leaned forward.
"Thank my Familiar, if not for her, I likely wouldn't have sensed Liquidelle's presence." Said Shendu, knowing he had been so focused on freeing Po Kong and getting the Oni Mask, that Liquidelle would have slipped right past his senses, with Bai Tza raising a brow at this.
"Hm. And where is your pet? You usually enjoy keeping her rather close." Bai Tza said.
"Hmhmhmhm, she's off reconnecting with some old friends." Replied Shendu while smirking, making Bai Tza narrow her eyes.
"It's a long story mother." Stated Liquidelle, with Bai Tza looking at her, admitting that she was now curious of what happened in Japan.
*With Akane*
Meanwhile, Akane was showing Satsuki, Mikoto, Izumi, and Shizune around Hogwarts, with Kurama having run off to do its own exploring of the castle. Though while she was showing them around the castle, the redhead's face has remained in the same blank look it's been in since they returned. The only change being her clothes, having changed out of the bloodstained ones she arrived in.
"Na-Akane." Shizune said, catching herself from saying "Naruko", with Akane stopping and looking at her.
"I just…I wish to apologize for not doing anything, after what Tsunade and Jiraiya did. I had tried talking them out of what they did but they wouldn't listen, and I couldn't go to the Police Force, since Tsunade had threatened to…sell me to whoever paid the most. Especially after how she and Jiraiya got the police on their side, through Yashiro Uchiha. But I know it's just an excuse and you'll probably never forgive me for not doing anything, but still I'm sorry." Said Shizune, while bowing to Akane, who looked at her neutrally.
"Why couldn't you have snuck away from them?" Akane questioned, wanting to know what kept Shizune from sneaking away to tell her parents or the Police Force of what happened.
"While Tsunade and Jiraiya had preferred feeding their vices than keeping their skills sharp, they were still a powerful witch and wizard. They had placed Monitoring and Tracking Spells on me to ensure they'd always know where I was. They did this after I first objected to their plan and refused to go along with it, making it so any attempt to warn them would result in them immediately teleporting and capturing me. It's also why I was forced to stay with them, as any attempt to escape and I'd be captured." Answered Shizune, hating how helpless she had been.
"Then you have nothing to be sorry for. You were in an impossible situation to do anything to help without suffering for it. Besides, it just gives me another reason to be glad that I made both of them suffer before they died." Akane replied, not holding a grudge against Shizune, since she had no way of doing anything.
"Still, I wish to repay you in some way." Said Shizune, insistent that she do something to repay Akane for not doing anything.
Akane frowned at this but could see Shizune wasn't going to be deterred.
"You were the hags apprentice, right? What did she teach you?" Akane asked, with Shizune nodding in response.
"Yes, before she began caring more about drinking and gambling. Tsunade had been teaching me Healing Magic, having been considered a master of it in her younger days. After she stopped teaching me, I began teaching myself by using the notes she's kept, along with researching various poisons and potions, being able to incorporate some poisons into my fighting style, so I wouldn't be helpless. While I wouldn't call myself a master, I'm pretty good at healing extensive wounds and recognizing the signs of many different poisons, and even signs of those under the influence of Love Potions." Explained Shizune, with Akane nodding in understanding.
"Alright, if you're insistent on repaying me, even if you don't have to, then become my personal doctor." Akane said, knowing that with the path she's now on, she will likely receive a lot of injuries, so she'll need people that she can fully trust to heal her, and Shizune seems like the perfect first choice.
"I won't let you down Akane." Shizune said, while smiling and mentally swearing to do her best to help Akane.
The Uzumaki nodded in response, before she looked to Mikoto and Satsuki.
"Mikoto, you had begun showing Satsuki and I Fire Magic, before everything that happened, and I'm sure you've continued teaching Satsuki. Would you both be able to help me finish my training in it?" Asked Akane, being able to remember being taught Fire Magic by Mikoto before her memories were wiped.
Along with remembering the fact that Japanese Witches and Wizards were taught from a young age to perform such feats as Wandless and Wordless Magic. As a means to keep them from becoming dependent on a wand, staff, or other types of foci. Which would also explain why she's been able to get such a quick grasp of Wandless and Wordless Magic, subconsciously remembering her training from when she was young.
"Definitely Akane-chan! Kaa-san's been teaching me everything she knows, and I'll be able to show you all of it." Satsuki said, smiling, as she was glad at the chance to spend time with her friend/crush and reconnect with her.
"Satsuki's right, we'd be glad to help you Akane. But it's likely been a while since you've last used Fire Magic, so we'll need to start over from the basics to get you refamiliarized with it." Said Mikoto as she smiled at her goddaughter, with Akane nodding with a small smile.
"Thank you." Akane replied, before they resumed the tour.
*Timeskip-One Month*
A month has passed, since Akane and Shendu had returned to Hogwarts with the new addition of Liquidelle, Po Kong, Mikoto, Satsuki, Izumi, Shizune, and Kurama. Along with Akane learning the truth about who she is and who her ancestors are.
Since then she's resumed her training in Fire Magic with Mikoto and Satsuki, and like her godmother said, they started over from the basics. Such as learning to conjure fire and converting her magic into fire to increase its power, rather than just summoning it. With Akane managing to get a quick grasp of the basics as more of her memories began returning of it, allowing her to advance much more quickly.
Akane had also begun training in Water Magic with Liquidelle, something the Water Demon was more than happy to help her learn.
Along with her magic training, Akane has also started to learn how to wield a sword, with the redhead looking into both Eastern and Western Sword Styles, not wanting to focus on a single style. Especially given how a sword was one of her ancestors' most iconic weapons, aside from the gauntlet in the Shredder's case. And Akane wanted to live up to her legacy and master how to use a sword. Much to Shendu's chagrin at learning his Familiar wished to wield a sword, while his siblings took joy in the irony.
His own Familiar learning to wield the very item of the Immortal, that first sealed him away.
In addition to all this, Akane began learning martial arts from Mikoto, Hak Foo, and Liquidelle, with martial arts also being something taught in Magical Japan, which they incorporate their magic into. And Liquidelle having learned several forms for whenever she needed to hide as a normal human, and so she didn't rely only on her powers.
While in between her training, Akane has started to get reacquainted with the others, along with getting to know Liquidelle better as well.
*Flashback*
"That was pretty good. You're catching on pretty fast for a beginner." Liquidelle said in her human form, while watching as Akane manipulated a ball of water and turned it into various shapes and objects, the two currently being on the shore of the Black Lake.
"Thanks, it just feels…natural. I think my mother actually used Water Magic." Replied Akane, having vague memories of her mother using Water Magic to entertain her, when she was young.
"Well it seems like you've inherited that talent." Liquidelle stated, before Akane caused the water to evaporate, with the two girls sitting down and looked out over the lake, deciding to take a short break from training.
"Hey Liquidelle, why is it that compared to Shendu and the others, you look more human?" Questioned Akane, having been curious as to why Liquidelle looked more human than the other Demon Sorcerers.
"It's because I'm actually half-human." Liquidelle revealed casually, while Akane's eyes widened at this.
"You're half-human?!" Akane said, not expecting that, with Liquidelle nodding.
"Yeah. The rest of my cousins are also half-human, which is why we aren't as strong as our parents. Having to make up for our lack of power, with our skill and creativity." Answered Liquidelle, as Akane gulped as a rather dark thought entered her head.
"Were you all…born the normal way?" Akane asked nervously.
While she may now be completely on Shendu's side, there were some lines she had to draw and that was one of them.
"Yeah, we were. And I know what you're thinking and no, neither my mother nor my aunt and uncles ever raped a human. They're demons, not monsters. They simply chose concubines to conceive us with, something that was actually considered an honor, back when they still ruled the planet. To help give birth to the children of their rulers." Said Liquidelle, making Akane let out a sigh of relief.
"Okay, though why did they even have children in the first place? They're immortal, so they wouldn't need successors to their kingdoms. So what was the point?" Akane asked, while Liquidelle shrugged.
"We were to be our parents' enforcers, champions, heralds, and heirs. With the latter being for if they decide to retire at some point, along with a number of many others titles. Though not all of them were pleased at the idea of simply being extension of our parents, but they also weren't strong enough to do anything. And after they were banished, none of them ever tried to free our parents. I would have tried to free my mother, but I didn't know how. So instead, I ruled in her stead, doing everything she would have wanted." Replied Liquidelle.
"And you were fine with that? Just being your mother's enforcer?" Questioned Akane, with Liquidelle smirking as she floated into the air and laid down, while floating in front of Akane.
"I was one of the most powerful beings on the planet and the princess of all the seas, I didn't really have anything to complain about. Besides, all we really did was get sent out to deal with any troublemakers or train ourselves. Plus, I never really cared to gain more power or create my own little kingdom, far too much work if you ask me." Liquidelle said, having been content with being her mother's enforcer, since she still got to do whatever she wanted.
And she's more than happy to let her mother take over her kingdom again, allowing Liquidelle more freedom than keeping the seas under control.
"Well I'm glad that you're around Liquidelle." Said Akane, before she blushed when Liquidelle floated closer to her with a sly smirk on her face.
"Ooooh, you're glad to have me around. You're quite the flatterer Akane." Liquidelle commented while leaning in closer, making Akane hastily move back.
"I-I me-me-meant as-as a-a f-fr-friend! H-how ab-ab-about g-getting back t-to t-t-training!" Akane said quickly and wanted to change the subject.
"Alright. And maybe, when you're older, we can try a different kind of training~" Said Liquidelle, making Akane's blush intensify.
*End Flashback*
While the redhead did get embarrassed whenever Liquidelle flirted with her like that, she also couldn't deny that she did find the Water Demon attractive. She just wasn't sure if Liquidelle was only teasing her or was genuinely making advances, so Akane was fine with them being friends at the moment.
She had also gotten to know Shizune and Izumi as well. Getting to know her new doctor after being given a checkup.
*Flashback*
"Is this really necessary?" Akane asked as she sat on a bed in the Hospital Wing, with Shizune walking around with a clipboard.
"Yes. If I'm to be your personal doctor, then I'll need to first get a look at you, to see if there's any problems that need to be addressed right now. And to see if anything's changed between now and your next checkup." Said Shizune seriously, not wanting to take any chances and wanted to be very thorough, with Akane sighing but nodded in acceptance.
"Alright, then whenever you're ready." Said Akane, Shizune nodding as she soon began performing various Diagnostic Spells on Akane to check her vitals.
"Out of curiosity, why were you even with Tsunade and how did you become her apprentice?" Akane asked, both because she was genuinely curious and so she didn't have to sit quietly until Shizune was done.
With the young woman glancing at her for a moment, before resuming her examination.
"It was when I was young, my parents had been killed during a conflict and I was taken in by my uncle, Dan Katō. After the death of my mother, his younger sister, he began advocating that a Medi-Witch/Wizard should be placed on all teams sent out into the field, to ensure no needless deaths happen again. Tsunade was of the same mind, after her own younger brother died long ago, leading to them eventually becoming lovers. But it wasn't long until my uncle died as well, with Tsunade having attempted to heal his wounds. And while she managed to stop the bleeding, the blood loss had been too severe, and Dan died from his wounds. After that, Tsunade had taken me in as her apprentice, something I was initially happy about and wished to learn everything she had to teach me. But you know how that turned out." Answered Shizune, with Akane looking at her in surprise and empathy, seeing how they both lost their families when they were young.
"I'm sorry for your losses and what happened after. And for what it's worth, I think you turned out really great, despite being stuck with the hag for years." Akane said, making Shizune smile at her.
"Thank you. As for how I turned out, I simply asked myself "what would Tsunade do?" and then I'd do the opposite." Shizune replied, with the redhead letting a chuckle and nodded, seeing how smart that'd be.
*End Flashback*
With Izumi, Akane would admit that she hadn't really been sure how to approach the girl, since she was still regaining her memories and didn't have many of Izumi. Though she also didn't want her to feel like she was avoiding her either, so the Uzumaki had simply approached her one day.
*Flashback*
Akane walked up to Izumi, as the brunette was training out in the courtyard, getting the Uchiha's attention.
"Oh Akane. Was there something you needed?" Izumi asked, while smiling at the girl, though Akane could see it was slightly strained.
"I…I just wanted to apologize, if it seems like I've been avoiding you since we got here. I'm still having trouble organizing my memories and remembering everything, and I don't really have a lot of memories of you or regained all of them. So I don't really know how to act around you. And I'm sorry for that." Said Akane bowing her head, while Izumi looked at her in surprise before her smile became more genuine.
"It's fine Akane, really. I understand what you're going through isn't easy." Izumi replied, while crouching down and putting a hand on her shoulder, making Akane look up at her.
"As for the memories we have together, Kushina was actually my teacher. I never really had the affinity for Fire Magic, like the rest of the Uchiha Clan did since I was more inclined to Wind Magic. Something your mother and father were experts in. She offered to teach me, and I accepted. But I also wasn't exactly the best student, since the first time I managed to create a strong gust of wind I ended up…" Izumi said, as Akane smiled as she began remembering.
"…You ended up accidently using too much magic, making it look like a hurricane came through the training room." Said Akane, with Izumi smiling as well and nodded.
"Which also revealed you had been spying on us from behind a weapons rack." Izumi finished, as the two sat down beside each other.
"Could you tell me more?" Akane asked, with Izumi nodding happily, before she began telling the redhead of other times, they spent together.
*End Flashback*
Akane had also reconnected with Satsuki and Mikoto, though admitted that it was even more difficult, given how she was closest to them before she lost her memories.
*Flashback*
Akane sat beside Satsuki and Mikoto, smiling and nodding as the two Uchiha told her various stories of her life growing up. Though the more she heard, the more her smile became strained. Since as much as Akane liked hearing more about her past, she couldn't help but feel the memories were now tainted.
She couldn't really connect with them anymore, she's spent years believing she was Akane Uzumaki, just an orphaned Muggleborn Witch who got lucky to be born with magic. Now she's learned it was all a lie, that she did have parents and was born into a magical family. Only for it all to be taken away from her in an instant, being replaced with a completely different life.
"Is something wrong, Akane?" Mikoto asked as she stopped talking and looked at her goddaughter in worry, after seeing her head was lowered, with Satsuki also look at her in friend in worry.
"I'm sorry. I just…I can't really feel happy at hearing all of this. While I know they are my memories, they also aren't, like I'm just hearing about someone else. I want to be happy at hearing about all of them, and I am in a way to have them back. I just can't connect with them." Akane said sadly, with Satsuki and Mikoto looking at her in sympathy before Satsuki smiled and grabbed Akane's hand.
"Well no matter what, you're still my best friend, whether your name is Naruko or Akane. And I'd like to get to know who Akane is, just like Naruko." Satsuki said, with Mikoto smiling and nodding, while wrapping an arm around Akane.
"And I'd like to get to know my goddaughter again as well." Added Mikoto, with Akane looking between them and slowly smiled.
"Okay. But…could you still tell me everything?" Akane asked, hoping that one day, she will be able to connect with her old memories and they'll feel genuine and happy again.
"You don't need to ask." Mikoto replied, while smiling softly.
*End Flashback*
While the truth of her origins still weighed on her mind, Akane would admit that she's also starting to feel better and happier. After reconnecting with Satsuki, Mikoto, and Izumi, along with getting to know Shizune and Liquidelle.
Aside from all that, one thing to happen was the gamekeeper, Hagrid, had been foolish to attempt to pass on information to the ministry of what was happening. Only for the Shadowkhan to bring him to Shendu, with the Dragon not hesitating to reduce him and his hut to ashes. Something Akane did feel a little bad about, as from what she's seen of him, the half-giant was a really nice guy, even if he wasn't too bright.
She had also solved another trigram on the Pan'ku Box, with the portal being located in Colorado's Black Forest. Unfortunately, it was also getting harder to discover the right combinations for the other Demon Portals, given how they already had Half of the Demon Sorcerers freed. Though rather than her and Shendu going to open the portal, the Fire Demon had instead sent Finn and Ratso to open it, after learning about the specific location.
Hollowlands Prison.
'I wonder how they're doing right now?' Akane thought.
*Hollowlands Prison*
Meanwhile, within Hollowlands Prison, Finn and Ratso were sitting in an interrogation room together, the two having gotten themselves arrested after trying to rob a bank. Now they were simply waiting for Hak Foo and Chow to smuggle the Pan'ku Box into the prison, so they can free the Demon Sorcerer. Having been given a means to contact Shendu, once the demon was free, so he could send his Shadowkhan to get them out.
Suddenly, the duo's attention turned to the door when it opened, revealing Captain Black, Tohru, and Viper.
"Well, if isn't Captain Black, Tohru, and…who are you?" Finn said, not recognizing Viper, with the thief glaring at him and Ratso.
"Viper, and believe me, if you don't tell us what we want to know, I'll show you just how poisonous I can be!" Viper hissed, before Captain Black put a hand on her shoulder.
"You know why we're here. Tell us where Shendu is now." Said Captain Black, as Finn smirked and leaned back in his chair.
"Sorry, can't tell you." Finn replied, before Captain Black grabbed him by the collar and glared darkly at him.
"You'll tell us, or-" Captain Black threatened.
"Or what? You'll beat us, torture us? Sorry, but compared to Shendu, you're about as threatening as a kitten. And we still couldn't tell you." Said Finn, while shrugging.
"Couldn't?" Tohru said, frowning at the wording, as the two Enforcers nodded.
"Yeah, Shendu put a spell on us. We can't tell you where he is, even if we wanted to. We can't say anything about his plans, what he's doing, or anything else that he considers classified." Answered Ratso, making the three frown at seeing they now had a dead end.
"And what about the girl with him? Can you talk about her?" Captain Black asked.
"Sure, her name's Akane Uzumaki, she's a witch and Shendu's Familiar." Answered Finn.
"And that means?" Questioned Viper, while crossing her arms.
"It means, even if you somehow found some other magic old man, you wouldn't be able to send Shendu back to wherever it is, you sent him. Since the kid is basically his backdoor to Earth. Anytime he's banished, he'll just come right back through." Finn said, while smirking, much to their shock and horror at realizing there was now no way they could get rid of Shendu, as long as Akane was around.
"And what if we managed to turn her against Shendu and break the bond?" Tohru asked.
"Uh yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen. Especially after what happened when they came back from Japan." Said Ratso nervously, the Enforcers having learned what Akane did to Jiraiya and Tsunade.
And while they'd fully admit they were criminals, what those two did was going way too far and they got what was coming to them. Along with realizing they really didn't want to get on her bad side.
"What're you talking about?" Viper demanded, with the two beginning to explain what happened, while leaving out important details, like Akane being the descendant of the Shredder and Hamato Yoshi, which was considered classified.
With Captain Black, Viper, and Tohru being shocked, horrified, disgusted, and angry to hear what had happened. None of them able to feel sympathy for what happened to Jiraiya and Tsunade, not after what they did.
"So yeah, unless you suddenly find a way to turn back time, you have zero chance to get the kid on your side. And in case any of you haven't noticed, we're currently winning." Stated Finn, while smirking, since it felt good to be on the winning side for once.
The three frowned at hearing this, but also couldn't refute the claim.
"And what about Jade? Where is Shendu keeping her?" Demanded Viper, worried for the girl and thinking Shendu must have captured her.
"You mean she isn't with you?" Ratso asked, the two Enforcers were surprised to hear that Jade was missing, with the question making the threes frowns deepen at hearing Jade wasn't captured by Shendu, but also relieved given what the Dragon intended to do to her.
Knowing they wouldn't be able to get anything else, the three took their leave.
*Louisiana*
Meanwhile, in the swamps of the Louisiana, Akane, Shendu, Mikoto, and Liquidelle were currently trekking through the swampland, in search of an Oni Mask.
After consulting the Demon Archive, Shendu had managed to find a spell to locate the Oni Masks and was able to get the location of one, within the swamps of Louisiana.
"You know, I'm still not happy you took my Samurai Khan and Razor Khan." Akane stated, annoyed that Shendu had cut her connection to Murasaki and Ikazuki, since she liked being able to summon her own Shadowkhan.
"Prove yourself, and I will provide you with a new means of summoning the Shadowkhan, one even better than a single mask." Said Shendu, while actually planning to keep his word this time, given how helpful his Familiar has been since his release, along with her now fully supporting him.
"Which Oni Mask are we even locating?" Liquidelle asked.
"Mosugurīn." Shendu answered gravely, with Liquidelle paling slightly at hearing this.
"Oh…yeah, we definitely wanna get that one." Liquidelle said, making Akane and Mikoto look at them curiously.
"I'm guessing this Oni Mask is connected to a dangerous Shadowkhan Tribe." Stated Mikoto, having been filled in about the Oni Masks and Shadowkhan, with it helping that she was already aware of the legends and tales surrounds them.
"One of the most dangerous Shadowkhan Tribes, the Mini Khan. While they may not look threatening at first, they have the potential to destroy entire cities." Shendu said, shocking Akane and Mikoto.
"And as you can tell, I'd prefer such a mask not being in anyone's hands, but my own." Said Shendu, with the two nodding in agreement, knowing someone having that kind of power wouldn't be good.
Thankfully, it wasn't long before they arrived at the shack where the mask was before they grabbed it and took their leave to head back to Hogwarts.
*Timeskip-One Day*
*Hollowlands Prison*
Finn and Ratso snuck into the laundry room, having just received the Pan'ku Box from Chow and Hak Foo in a supply delivery, with them following where the Pan'ku Box lead them, before going straight to the laundry room.
"Alright box, do your thing." Finn said, letting the Pan'ku Box float into the air as it shot out a light at a washer, forming the keyhole.
The box flew into the slot as the portal formed, with the two Enforcers stepping back as they saw a giant purple frog-looking demon exited the portal.
"I am free!" Declared the Demon Sorcerer, pleased at having regained his freedom after so long.
"Woah, we definitely struck demon." Said Finn at the size of the demon.
"Not just any demon, Xiao Fung, Demon Sorcerer of Wind!" Xiao Fung introduced, as Finn and Ratso exchanged a look.
"Uh, like breaking wind?" Ratso asked jokingly, with Xiao Fung narrowing his eyes, before unleashing a powerful gust of wind, blowing them back across the room.
"Like breaking bones." Retorted Xiao Fung.
"Yeah, that's great. Now I just gotta call the big guy." Finn said, before pulling out a mirror he managed to smuggle in, having been given it by Shendu to contact him once they freed the Demon Sorcerer.
"Big guy? You refer to my brother Shendu, correct?" Xiao Fung questioned.
"Yeah. He's with the others uh…the mermaid, the big ox guy, and the big green one." Said Ratso, with Xiao Fung being surprised to hear this.
"He's already freed Bai Tza, Dai Gui, and Po Kong?! Well…I admit, I'm impressed at how quickly Shendu is working to free us." Stated Xiao Fung, while knowing that with his newly gained freedom, only three Demon Sorcerers were left.
"Yo Shendu, we got your brother out." Finn said once Shendu appeared in the mirror, with the Dragon being able to see a glimpse of Xiao Fung behind him.
"Yes, my Shadowkhan will be there momentarily."
Not a moment later, several Shadowkhan rose up from the shadows and grabbed hold of the Enforcers and Xiao Fung.
"Woah, he wasn't kidding." Stated Finn, before they sunk into the shadows.
*Hogwarts*
When the three reappeared, they found themselves in the Great Hall right in front of Shendu, with Xiao Fung surprised at seeing his brother back in his true form.
"Hello brother." Said Shendu, smirking, as Xiao Fung gave a polite bow.
"Greetings Shendu, it's truly a pleasure to see you once again brother, even more that you have returned to your full glory." Xiao Fung said civilly, being one of the more diplomatic, cooperative, and reasonable among their family, rather than resorting to violence.
Though, it was also out of need for his own self-preservation, as well. Given how his own sadistic nature probably didn't earn him any points with Shendu, with how eager he was to torture him as a helpless spirit. So he was willing to swallow his distaste for his brother, at leaving them trapped.
"I'm sure, and I'll be keeping this short; we will be remaining here, until the rest of our siblings have been freed from their imprisonment. I hope that isn't a problem." Shendu said, while narrowing his eyes at the Wind Demon.
"Of course not, brother. I am in no rush to reclaim my kingdom; in fact, it will be even better for all of our family to reclaim our kingdoms, together." Replied Xiao Fung, before he was surrounded by a swirl of wind and transformed into a human form, while wearing an orange prison jumpsuit.
"Now then, if you gentlemen would be so kind as to show me around this palace." Xiao Fung said, while looking at Finn and Ratso.
"Uh, sure no problem, your windiness. But first, how about getting you some new threads." Said Finn, before the three exited the Great Hall.
*Section 13*
Meanwhile, within Section 13, Captain Black was furious.
"I can't believe it! I knew something was up when they let themselves be caught and sent to Hollowlands!" Said Captain Black, having just learned that Finn and Ratso had mysteriously escaped from prison.
"It's likely they are back, wherever Shendu is, with another Demon Sorcerer as well." Tohru said, frowning angrily that another Demon Sorcerer is most likely free now.
"Just great, like we don't have enough running around." Muttered Viper, hating how they were played.
But despite their anger, they were also worried, as it likely won't be long until all the Demon Sorcerers are freed.
So, what did you think, good. Yep Liquidelle has reunited with her mother, while Akane has begun training her magic, learning martial arts, and how to wield a sword. Along with bonding with Liquidelle, Satsuki, Mikoto, Izumi, and Shizune. We also learn that, tragically, Hagrid is now dead after trying to pass information onto the ministry. Then we see Finn and Ratso getting into Hollowlands to free Xiao Fung, along with being interrogated by Captain Black, Tohru, and Viper for information on Shendu, only for them to learn Shendu placed a spell on them to make sure they couldn't reveal classified information about him (with Akane being his Familiar not being considered classified since the information wouldn't really help them). Then seeing Shendu, Akane, Mikoto, and Liquidelle going after the Oni Mask Mosugurīn. Then back to Hollowlands we Xiao Fung being freed before he, Fin, and Ratso are taken to Hogwarts by the Shadowkhan, seeing Shendu has returned to his full power and is willing to swallow his distaste for his brother and act civilly. Finally we get a look at Section 13, with Captain Black, Tohru, and Viper worried that another Demon Sorcerer is freed and it won't be long until the rest are as well. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
