Chapter 15
Spirit Stone, "Elixir"
The amulet on Danzo's chest, and the Amulet in his hands connected once again, forming the perfect amulet that Sato once wore. At last, Danzo had the key to enter and exit the Youma Realm. Carefully pulling out the Shadow Edge Sword, he held it out in front of him, and raised it high over his head. Now was the time to restore his father's sword, the Sato, to its original glory. Team Crimson watched as the sword that Sato once used in the past, now had a curved blade on one side, a spinal column on the other, a thick organic hide on it, a red gem, and a green one beneath it. Lightning burst into the sky above, as Danzo tested the blade's abilities for himself. It extended outwards and the blade became like a scythe. After that, it retracted to its original form and Danzo placed the blade on his shoulder, making him the true successor to his father. Knowing full well that it would almost be time for him to use this weapon, Danzo decided to continue using the Alduin, for now.
Team Crimson followed him into the portal that opened before them, and together they marched onwards to the gates of the Youma Realm. They left the painting they entered on their left, and marched into the other painting on the right. They were submerged in water, and Danzo led the way to the gateway. Using his needlegun, Danzo gunned down the youma that stood against him, and soon emerged in a corridor where he hoped the gates would be opened to him. At last he returned to some familiar areas, and saw that the altar he saw was still there.
"Those who seek the truth shall put the egg in the basket and shall warm it slowly with care. It will become a blue stone and landmark to the rough roads," Hikage read aloud.
Danzo did so, until the blob-like creature emerged from behind them, forcing everyone to fight the creature. Dodging and weaving it, they managed to light the area up for Danzo to attack it directly, Striking at the core of the being , Danzo quickly managed to make careful work of it, while also being cautious. At last the transformation was complete, and Danzo returned to the basket. He suddenly heard a voice in his head, once again.
"I am the first key to opening the gate to the Youma Realm. The second key resides in the mirror dimension," it said to him.
Danzo took the Elixir in his hand and pocketed it. He knew that it was time to return to the Mirror Dimension.
