Chapter 5: Fight for the Future

Tomoko and Ayumi reach the ground safely and start to run from the demons. Tomoko turn around only to see that the demons stop chasing them and instead they look at the sky. Tomoko was confuse and look around. Her eyes widen when she saw the giant´s foot being cut down by a woman. A little of hope come back to her. Ayumi stay by her side and hug her sister, she saw the sky too. Tomoko take Ayumi and took this chance to run away, the demons were distracted so they won´t attack her for now. Tomoko saw a little store, from outside it look empty so she run with Ayumi there. The sisters hide behind a wall of the store, next to them there was a window. Tomoko saw through it, she want to know who was the woman that is fighting that giant.

Tsukino couldn´t stop looking away, she was hiding in a building, seeing the fight when out of nowhere her daughter appear and cut her father´s foot with a sword. Tsukino was happy to see her daughter again, she wasn´t near but she could tell that the girl with a sword was her daugther, she couldn´t mistake that silloutte. Tsukino proceed to abandon the building and look for a safer place. She saw a little store nearby so she run right at it. She was surprise when she found people inside the store. She was more surprised when she saw that one of them was Tomoko.

"Tomoko?!"

"Nakamura-san"

"What are you doing here?! It´s dangerous"

"I´m hiding with my sister" Tomoko point at the girl "And watching what the hell is happening. Out of nowhere someone appear and cut that giant´s foot with a sword like it was nothing at all" Tomoko didn´t recognize Kokoro, of course. Tsukino was about to tell her who´s the girl she was watching but stop. If she tell her, then she have to explain a lot of what´s happening right now and she didn´t want to talk about that now. This place is dangerous so she need to take Tomoko and her sister out of here.

"Tomoko we need to go now"

"I know but there´s nowhere to hide now"

"We need to get out of Tokyo now. Everyone must be doing that"

"... Alright, let´s do it now. The demons are distracted now so it´s our chance"

"Good" Tsukino look around, it was clear "Do as i say, follow me and never let go of my hand. Do you understand you two?"

"Yes" The sisters said in unison

"Alright, let´s go"

Mikaboshi was standing, watching his daugther right in the eyes. Kokoro was doing the same, they were seeing right into the other´s eyes. There was silent for a brief moment, then Mikaboshi try to step on her but his foot was cut again by Kokoro´s sword, the Hanzo Masamune. His foot regenarate at a fast speed and he changes sizes, now he have a human size. Kokoro prepare herself for anything.

"Kokoro... what do you expect from this?" Kokoro was a little confuse by that question

"To stop this"

"Do you think that humans deserve to live? This world was MINE from the beginning. Everything was dark, chaos was in every corner and my demons walk free. That´s how it should be... now humans think that they are almighty with their technology and with that they bring "order and peace" to the world. It´s a lie, they don´t know what real order is or real chaos is... i´ll show them how weak they are, how insignificant they are and more importantly... I´ll show them a true God"

"Who... you?"

"That´s right... and when the time comes you´ll be their new god, what do you say?"

"... no thanks, i prefer being a human"

"Well then" Mikaboshi appear in front of her in less than a second "You disappoint me, Kokoro" He hit her in the stomach and send her flying to a building "This world will be mine againg and neither you or those weak gods can do anything to stop me!" Kokoro fly toward him with sword at hand prepare to cut him apart

"We´ll see about that!" Mikaboshi shot several beams at her but she block them all with the sword, not even one touch her. She continue the attack toward him, Mikaboshi was confident. He dodge the sword this time and hit her again, this time in the face and throw her to the ground.

"Woah... what did you just say?" Mikaboshi step on her "You say that you are going to stop me? Well... good job doing so. Listen, we can do this in 2 ways... easy... or hard it´s your choice" Kokoro try to get him out of her but was futile, he didn´t move at all "Well?" Energy was coming from his arm, his was prepare to kill her if it was necessary

"Fuck you"

"... and you kiss your mother with that mouth?" Mikaboshi aim at her "you disappoint me again... farewell" a lightning hit Mikaboshi in full force making him to kneel, he turn around and Kaminari take this opportunity to hit him as hard as she can. Mikaboshi barely move from the punches, he grab her by the throat and lift her. He saw her for a moment in the eyes, then a big smile cross his face. Izanagi, Athena and Hercules were watching. They couldn´t move at all, they only could see in terror what Mikaboshi was about to do. "...I don´t need any of you in my new world" and in one move he break Kaminari´s neck, the sound of the bones breaking could be heard from the distant... the goddess Kaminari was dead.

"You..." Kokoro was starting to get not only scare but angry as well, she want him to pay, to suffer

"Do you see how easy is to kill a fake god? they are as weak as the humans... now then where were we?" Mikaboshi prepare to attack againg but was interrupted again, this time someone throw a stone at him. He turn around and there was Tsukino.

Tsukino saw how Mikaboshi easily take down a god, fear start to take over her, she want this to be a bad dream. She was still trying to escape but when she saw Kokoro being crushed in the ground she stop running. Tomoko and Ayumi do the same, they were watching the scene before them. Mikaboshi was now looking at Kokoro again, he prepare to take her life. Tsukino won´t allow him to do that so she take a stone and run toward him, Tomoko try to stop her but Ayumi grab her she didn´t want to be alone. Tsukino throw the stone at him and he turn around, he doesn´t look surprise at all. In fact, looks like he was waiting for this.

"Well, Tsukino. It´s been a while" Tsukino get closer

"Get away from my daughter!"

"You mean... OUR daughter"

"You don´t have the right to do this to her"

"Of course a can... she´s my daughter, she try to disobey me so she´ll die here and now" Izanagi get up and try to intervene, he barely could speak

"R-run A-awa-y!"

"You heard him... this is not your place, turn around and walk away" Mikaboshi was trying to make her leave, strangely, he was being a little nice to her "You don´t need to see this" Tsukino run toward Kokoro

"If you want her, it have to be over my dead body, Mikaboshi" He wasn´t happy to heard that. He close his eyes for a moment and grab her by the throat like he did with Kaminari

"Is that so?" he lift her and place his hands around her throat "Then i´ll grant your wishes... any last words?"

"... go to hell"

"My dear... i come from there" before he could kill her, Kokoro grab him and slash both of his arms. Mikaboshi couldn´t react, she was faster. Then kick him and send him backwards. Kokoro was angry at this point, she point her sword at him.

"Lay a finger on her and i´ll destroy you!"

"Woah... i didn´t see you coming, Kokoro. Do you still think that you can win this?!" Without a word Kokoro fly toward him, grab him and take him with her to the portal to Yomi. Izanagi and the other saw how Kokoro enter to the portal with Mikaboshi, they could only hope that she will win the battle...

Kokoro throw Mikaboshi to the ground of the Yomi and start to slash him with the sword multiple times. It doesn´t matter how many times she do that, he´ll keep regenerate and unlike her, Mikaboshi wasn´t tired at all. When Kokoro stop attacking to catch some air, Mikaboshi grab her and punch her in the face repeatedly and throw her to a big wall. Kokoro cough blood, Mikaboshi walk toward her and she run away for the moment, she need to think in a plan or something to end this. She start to lose hope really quickly but she needs to remain strong, she was the last hope...

Heimdall was watching the fight and tell Odin and Thor what was happening in earth. Odin remain silent for a moment then Munin appear in his shoulder, he come back seconds ago. Odin had an idea but he need to send Kokoro instructions and she don´t need to fail. He take Munin and whisper a new message to him and his new destiny was Yomi. After he finish, Munin fly away as fast as he could, Odin turn to Heimdall.

"Heimdall, tell me if Munin reach Yomi. We need to know everything now, as detail as possible"

"Understood" Heimdall keep watching and tell him everything that was going on and how long will take Munin to reach Yomi

Kokoro was hiding from Mikaboshi, she didn´t know what to do now. He can´t die that easily and he regenerate his wounds in seconds, it´s impossible...

"Dammit... what now?" She said looking at the sword in her hands. She was scare of losing, scare of dying, she want to win, to make him pay for what he did... "Please... i need help" a few seconds passed and her prayers were answered, a raven landed in her shoulder. Kokoro know that there wasn´t ravens in the Yomi so this one comes from the other side. The raven look at her in the eyes and a voice could be listened in her head

"Kokoro... there´s a way to win. You can´t kill Mikaboshi, not in the conventional way but you don´t have neither the strengh or the abilities to do so. Your only way is to take away his powers. Long time ago the gods couldn´t do that because there wasn´t a vessel that could retain his powers. You have to take his powers and make them your own. That way he can´t do anything to the world. Still, you can´t take all his power you are half human, you have limits. You need to search at least three objects that could keep a part of his powers. When you find them, you need to use your blood to make a circle in the ground, with your blood make a simbol in your skin and do the same in the objects. You need to be in the circle with the objects to performance the recites the words that i´m about to tell you and point with your sword at Mikaboshi. This way his power will be drained from his body and will go to yours and the objects. Now find the objects and perform the ritual" The voice tell her the words she need to recite and disappear. Kokoro saw a little of hope now, she didn´t lose time and search for something that could work as a vessel.
