The Last Time Kid Remembers Before Everything was Ruptured
Throughout all the eight worlds, there was one that remain the most beautiful and honorable world that blooms. Darkatos, one of the eight worlds that has the most majestic tales and architecture. In this world, most of the buildings and towns are Gothic based architecture. The city folks all wearing black and white clothes, fitting with the style of Darkatos. Most of the buildings and homes look like castles that are made out of silver. This place looks like some medieval era, but gothic and dark. This place could be a welcoming home for goths, but that's not the point.
In Death City, there's a school. An academy for the people who wanted to defend their home from threatening worlds, actually it didn't look like a school, but a large castle, made out of sliver and black materials. This place could resemble Asgard, if instead of the golden society, but a gothic city. In the front of the school, there are many people waiting for a familiar Shinigami. There was someone waiting on top of the castle, a balcony, sitting on his throne made out of skulls and bones. It was Lord Death, the Shinigami of Darkatos, and Ruler of Death City. He was waiting for his son to appear from the crowd and will give him his authority to him.
Along side Lord Death was a tall man, with silver-gray hair, large and round glasses, and handsome face. He has a large screw-in bolt going through his head. He's wearing a blood red vest, covered with a large black coat. He was wearing glasses but one is black and the other is clear. His name is Stein, God of Knowledge, titled as Death's Intelligence.
Next to him was a somewhat younger aged man, his facial features consist of red shoulder length hair and green eyes. He's wearing a black armor, a basic black suit blazer, black dress slacks. His name is Spirit Albarn, Weapon of Death, titled as Death's Scythe.
They both started to chatter for a while, before the prince arrives. "Stein, what do you think about Kid?" asked Spirit. "He seems a worthy god. He defeated many witches that tried to destroyed Darkatos, but failed. He did defeat them without the help of Death Weapons." Stein responded, as he reach for a pack of smokes from his black coat.
"Hehehe," chuckled the Shinigami. "Kid has faced many foes with his team. Sure he did defeat all the threats, but without his team, he wouldn't be able to make it." Lord Death said, as he patiently waited for his son to come.
What first to be arrived are his team. Five boys and five girls. The first boy has white hair swept to one side and red eyes. He is known for his heavily exaggerated facials expressions and pointed teeth. He naturally has a lazy, droopy, and somewhat uninterested expression on his face. He's wearing silver armory around his body, and is wearing black pants. He also has a chain on his neck, carrying some miniature piano. His name is Soul Evans, Weapon of Slaying, also known as the Soul Eater.
His partner, a teenage, petite young woman with ash blonde hair is form of pigtails, wearing white sleeveless armor all around her, and have golden bracelet on both of her arms. She also wearing blue pants, and having some sort of belt, and the buckle shaped as a skull. Her name is Maka Albarn, Goddess of Courage, also known as Death's Angel.
"Jeez Soul, act professional! We're going to be in Kid's blessing and you're acting that you don't care!" Maka yelled. "Lay off me, you flat-chested goddess!" Soul yelled back. He then somehow got pummeled to unconsciousness by his meister. "Jeez soul, you are always an ass to everyone." Maka replied. "Only to you..." Soul whispers, and then got his ass beat down again. Turns out in this time, Maka and Soul are annoyed by each other and can't get along that well.
"Calm down, Maka. Sure today's Kid's blessing, but you know that we have tried our best to earn Lord Death's blessing as well." said a gentle and friendly tall, attractive and rather well-endowed young woman of a Japanese descent of around sixteen or seventeen years old. She wears white sleeveless breastplate armor while wearing a pale yellow sleeveless outfit with a skirt end that has a slit down the side beneath the breastplate. She also has dark brown stocking on her right leg starting just above the knee and white boots. She has her long black hair down, and has large indigo eyes. Her name is Tsubaki Nakatsukasa, The Weapon Goddess of Beauty, Death's Camellia Blossom.
"Yeah, but the reason we can't be gods because they can't even take down any witches without any help." Maka retorted. "We all have to do it, but some people want to act cool by going solo!" Maka yelled at Soul's ear since he's the one that wants to take that role.
"Hey, I wanna get into Kid's Squadron because if I do, I'll be able to be Death's Weapon." Soul says. "And besides, I can prove myself that I can be able to strong that the Dark Gods themselves."
"You can't even beat Kid or Asura for once Soul! Last time it lasted for twelve seconds!" Black Star jumps off and landed near his comrades and sees who said that. There are three students, well elites behind them. One is a teenage girl, with long pink vibrant hair with deep sky blue eyes as well as dog-like ears. She also wore black sleeveless armor with red outlines, and that the breastplate has some form of a skull. She wear a black skirt also having the outline red and having silver boots. Her arms is covered in silver gauntlet, also having skulls imprinted on them as well. She was holding some kind of some kind of dark demonic lamp. She also has a cape which is blood red on the inside, while the back is all black. Her name is Kim Diehl, Goddess of Magic, the Enchantress of Kid's Squadron.
The two behind her is her comrades from the same squadron as her, Kilik Rung and Ox Ford. Kilik appears to have the same attire as Kim, but instead of sliver gauntlets, he has black chains. He wears grey pants, and has many chains surrounding all over his neck, chest, and legs. His hairstyle is a combination of short dreadlocks along the top of his scalp, with cornrows lining the sides and back. He wears sunglasses forged from the gremlins from Nilmerg, and have dark eyes. He appears to have two demonic pots on his hands. He's the God of Champions, the Fighter of Kid's Squadron.
Ox Ford with his sunglasses which is the same brand Kilik has, and his two pointy black hair behind his ears which resemble horns with the same attire as his comrades, but is a long chain sleeve armor. He also has all the parts of the all an medieval armor, coated with black and having the outlines blood red. He doesn't wear a helmet, since he thinks it's not professional for a general. He also has a lightning spear within his grip. He's also the God of Skills, and the Strategist of Kid's Squadron. Kim, Kilik, and Ox are part of the most mightiest team in all of Darkatos, Kid's Squadron. "So how would you be Darkatos Savior, if you can't defeat Kid or Asura" said Kilik.
Soul get closer in Kilik's face, now butting each others head. "You got something to say, bitch!"
"I was just making a point, assface!"
"Sounds like it doesn't even have a point in my opinion!"
"You wanna go down, bro!"
"Oh you know it bro!"
Soul and Kilik got into a fighting stance, ready for a brawl. Maka and Tsubaki are trying to stop a fight, until someone could able to settled this conflict. Black Star tries to move and make the first blow, but he couldn't. He is somehow paralyze. 'What? Why I can't kick this bitch's ass?' Soul thought.
'The hell? Why can't I pummel him?' Kilik also thought as well, until he sense the aura from a certain god. 'No... it can't be?!' Kilik's heart started to pump faster and faster, since he knows who is preventing his fight.
"No... not him?!" Soul figured out as well. He can't believe that he's here right now, but without his brother. Soul and Kilik look up to the sky, and sees the man that stop all of this.
"Asura?!" Soul and Kilik yelled as Asura descends between the two them.
"Dammit... Why you guys can't even act normal while my brother is ready to be pronounce king. Soul, just face the fact that you can't never beat a god, unless you focus on fighting on your own and at least slay one witch. Kilik, you are part of my brother's squadron, your the God of Champions, the Fighter of our squadron, so act like it some sort of privilege. My brother ask our father to make you a god so you can help us venture forward to prevent any destruction from Darkatos."
Asura finally have his feet touch to the ground, and began walking to the front, signaling the others to follow him. Asura is only wearing a very long cloak that cover all over his body except his face. The on the back of his cloak, there are three eyes, all blood red, and also his face is cover in multiple white scarves which also has the three eyes imprinted on it. He's the God of Fear, the Sorcerer of Kid's Squadron. Everyone from the crowd look at him and suddenly feel scared for no reason. Asura looked at the crowd and sees the fear in their eyes. He then turns to Tsubaki.
"So, how do you feel about my brother's blessing? I'm sure that you're surprise to see my brother as king." Asura asked, making Tsubaki giggled. "I'm very proud of his achievements for taking on the mantle of the new Lord Death. Hehe, it's funny that since we were kids, he promise me that if he becomes king that I can be able to live with him in his castle with the rest of his family."
Asura smiles from Tsubaki's reply. "Heh, maybe you can become his queen one day. Maybe?" Asura joked, but when Tsubaki hears it, a lot of crazy imaginations of being Kid's wife started to make her blushed. Asura then turns toward the citizens of Darkatos and tries to calm them down from his presence.
"Don't worry, I'm also the son of death and I don't mind harming the people of my homeworld. So please, don't be afraid." Asura says as he kept walking to the front of the school building. "Kim, Kilik, Ox, meet with me inside building. Maka, Soul, Black Star, and Tsubaki, wait at the front of the building, until Kid arrives." Asura called out his comrades and told the others told continue walking to the front of the building. Asura uses his scarves to wrapped around Kim, and the others, as he fly to the top of the academy where his father his sitting on his throne.
"Father," said Asura as he let his comrades land on the balcony with Stein and Spirit. "Asura, where's your brother?" Lord Death asked. "He's bringing a recruit for his squadron, father. He said that he'll make a great addition to the team." Asura answers. The Shinigami began to think of whether he should let his younger son to bring another member or do not accept his son's decision. He nodded, meaning that Kid can let the new recruit to join.
"Anyway, I haven't seen your weapons father, only Spirit was the only one to come?" The Shinigami shooked his head in response. "Of course there are more of my weapons here. They're busy on checking the status of you and your brother. They'll be here for a short time."
"We're already here," Lord Death and Asura turned to see the rest of Death's Weapons. The one who spoke was a man wearing an over sized mask which is a bear. His attire is just simple armor that only covers his body, and has his black coat, covering his arms. He also wears grey pants, and appears to have a large monkey with him. The monkey wears a baseball cap backwards, which have the letters 'MM' imprinted on it. He also having golden chestplate and appears to have black gauntlets. This is the duo of Tezca Tlipoca, Weapon of Reflections, Death's Mirror, and Enrique, known as the Monkey of Wills.
Behind them were six more weapons, apparently more Death's weapons. Two men appears to be wearing heavy winter clothing dyed with the colors of black, attire with a heavy-duty and knee-length duffle cut, which features a thick fur-lined hood, worn over a simple pair of pants and combat boots. One appears to be a relatively round individual who is rather tall in stature. He also has a direct consequence of wearing his hood drawn fully up with a tuque-like hat underneath, the majority his face remains concealed but from what can be seen, he has a prominent nose which is accentuated further by a thick dark moustache. The other appears to be a much slighter in frame and although still relatively tall, he remains dwarfted by his much larger weapon. He also wears a tall bearskin hat with added ear flaps. This other dynamic duo are Tsar Pushka, Weapon God of Destruction, Death's Cannon, and Feodor, God of Combat, Death's Commander.
Two other came behind Tsar and Feodor. One is a male weapon from a asian descent. Although appearing to be a rather average height and build upon initial inspection, This weapon's exact physical characteristics are difficult to define due to the loose-fitting clothing that obscures the majority of his form, which is a mask with various pieces of fabric that descend downwards from under a loosely wound turban. The remainder of his attire is comprised from a light-colored long-sleeved shirt, worn under a dark waistcoat-like garment, and a pair of baggy pants that both terminate and billow outwards just below the knees. These articles are completed by a sash wrapped around his waist and bangles encircling his forearms, as well as a pair of pointed shoes that shaped like a traditional oil lamp. His partner, a curvaceous woman who wears clothes similar to those of a belly dancer. She has long black hair parted in the middle and hides most of her face behind a veil. She also has black-painted nails. These partners are Jinn Galland, The Weapon God of Smoke, Death's Lamp, and Zubaidah, Goddess of Darkness, Death's Dancer.
Next, two more appear behind both the weapons and meister. Both from the African descent. Both slender and tall in stature, this weapon is rather imposing individual due in equal measures of his muscular build and considerable height. His sullen facial features are accentuated by multiple piercings at the corner of his mouth and unkempt hair, whose light color is starkly contrasted by his dark complexion, a distinguishing characteristic of his African heritage. No doubt as a direct consequence of the intense heat which typifies the climate of the where he resides, his entire torso remains exposed with the exception of a few small areas that are instead encircled by various tribal bangles, including his arms, neck and abdomen. The remainder of his attire consists of what appears to be a pleated sarong, worn over a dark underskirt that displays a piece of fabric embellished by numerous Egyptian hieroglyphs. These items are completed by a pair of sandals and a patterned sash wrapped around his waist.
His meister, is completely bald and and wears white war paint in the shape of a keyhole on his face, with none of his partner's piercings. Also, he wears a black sleeveless vest over his chest with various bandages swarming around part of the right side. A version of Shinigami's old skull mask can be seen on his belt, and he wears two bangles. He also has four black lines tattooed on his right shoulder. Like his partner, he also sports a skirt with hieroglyphs, on which another black skirt is. A skill looking like Death's old mask is on his belt. These two partners are known as Dengu Dinga, The Weapon God of Rainbows, Death's Axe and Alexandre, God of Strength, Death's Warrior.
Finally, Three last Death Weapons are Marie Mjolnir, Weapon Goddess of Pulverization, Death's Hammer, Azusa Yumi, Weapon Goddess of the Hunt, Death's Gunbow and Justin Law, Weapon God of Execution, Death's Guillotine. They all wearing their usual attires. Marie wearing a black dress with a large golden, zig-zag pattern in the front from the waist down. She also wears a large, left eyepatch, which is decorated with a thunder insignia. Azusa wears rather formal attire, featuring a black blazer worn over a long collared, white long-sleeve shirt. Justin Law's wears a priest-like attire, which is a white shawl that encompasses all around he upper part of his body from his neck to elbow length, he also wears a Deacon's cross with Death's mask on it over the shawl and has visible headphones that emerge from the shawl and into his ears. Under the shawl is a black ecclesiastical robe.
All the Death Scythes appear to be in a line from left to right. It seems that they all are waiting for Kid's blessing. "Ah, They're all here. Hmm I wonder who'll be Kid's new weapon?" Asura questioned as the weapons are trying to act calm by Asura's presence.
"Well it doesn't matter, he only has one weapon that will make him become victorious." Asura continued to gloat about the power of a Shinigami. His look at him, seeing his kin made him remind of himself when he was young. "Asura, I know that your a little boastful about our might, but today isn't yours. Your brother is about to become king, how come you're not proud of it? After all, you did trained him to become a better warrior."
"Heh, I know but seeing him becoming king is like that a new era will come that will cause many disasters in the pending future. Not just that, but having a death god ruling Darkatos, this could send a bad message to the other worlds." Asura commented on the facts of the future of Darkatos.
The eldest Shinigami look a little concern of his eldest kin words, but he ignores it and waited for his second son to arrive. "So when's the new king is going to appear?" said Tsar, already annoyed for waiting the king's spawn. "He'll be here soon. You have to wait patiently." Asura replied then turn his back on the Death Cannon. A few minutes pasted by and still no sign of the Death God.
"He's here..." Asura said.
"Where?" Zubaidah asked, looking around and seeing no other Shinigami.
"Asura is right, he's here." The eldest Shinigami spoke as he stand up, feeling the energy of Kid. Out of nowhere, a bolt a black lightning strucken the stairs of the academy's front entrance. The people of Death City cheered for knowing of the power of the god of death. Not only the black lightning happen, there were also clouds shaped of skulls flowing around the academy, showing others that he is the most powerful.
When everything resided, the people can only see a god with black hair with three white lines on the left side of his head, wearing black armor that made him look like a black knight from medieval tales, but this black knight had some sort of skull-like chestplate, and his plackart is red, while having is sides, coated in black metal. His left shoulder appear to have a skull-shaped gardbrace, while the other is just a normal scarlet colored gardbrace. His left arm appears to have a black rerebrace, couter, and gauntlet with the red outlines, but his right it appears to not be wearing any custom armory except having only a chainmail, a red spiked bracelet and a black glove. He also has a short red kilt, having the outline of it black. His lower attire consists with chainmail pants and black armored boots with red outlines. His final part of his clothing is a red belt with the black outlines and having a skull as a buckle.
What caught the people's attention is of that his mighty blade, Sparta. From the tip to the handle its 5 to 6 feet long, having three ridges on both side, making the tip way sharper. The outlines the ridges within the edge are solid steel, while having the front and back, pure black while having the fuller blood red. The rain guard is shaped of a skull, having a red spartan symbol on its fore head, the hilt seems so long that you need both of your hands to lift this weapon, but for a god like Kid, it's like wielding a light sword. Finally for the final ornament of Sparta, the pommel looks to be some sort of red crystal ball while the inside of it contains some dark matter.
There he stood, Death the Kid, the God of Death, the Prince of Darkatos, and the Knight of War. Behind him appears to be a young adolescent with facial features include bright turquoise eyes and mid-length blonde hair. His clothes consist of a white shirt that he only buttons in the middle and is embellished with three golden circles upon its right side, also featuring two interconnected straps hanging downwards from the shoulders onto his back. This is worn with burgundy/light purple pants with a black linear pattern, held up by a white belt. A black studded collar encircles his neck and a black tie is also included but it is worn extremely loosely. He also has various ear piercings, three silver loops on his left ear, yet on the right he sports only two silver loops and a red stud. He also wears a ring on the middle finger of his left hand. This young man, is Hero... mortal from Arkotos.
"Haha! that was the greatest brawl in Arkotos!" said Kid, chuckling from his recent visit to the homeworld of the meisters. "Well, I guess getting drunk for having too much Maisuta beer and causing a fight in the tavern does count as a brawl." said the blonde man. "Then how come you haven't join the fight? I expected from you since I chose to taken under my wing!" Kid exclaimed.
"Well you had 64 Maisutas and well, you were kinda violent when someone interrupted your drinking spree..." The blonde man answer, but Kid grabbed him by putting his arm around his shoulder and collided him his his armor. "By Death's Soul! Wherefore thee didn't taketh the easy way to improveth thy status" Kid said.
"Why are you speaking in that kind of accent?" The blonde man questioned.
"Sorry Hero, I'm still half drunk, but I can manage the drunkness within my vessel." Kid says to the blonde man now known as Hero. There are many tales of Hero, the Meister that couldn't hold up to that gift, where he always get in trouble with beast and Kishins. He has been receiving a bad reputation in Darkatos, even though he never went to this world. But now, with residing the Death God's presence, now many people will change their perspective of him.
"Now Hero, walk with me to the DWMA. I sense that my father is waiting for me." said Kid.
"S-sure." said Hero, a little intimidated by the people looking at them walking to the stairs of the academy. Hero felt a little uncomfortable, but he later notice that the people are starting to cheer when seeing both of them walking to the DWMA. Hero felt a little confident, and that's when Kid started to talk.
"Don't worry. Once you're train, you can join in my squadron. I have two weapons that doesn't have a partner." Kid said.
"Umm... thanks." Hero said. Both of them continued to walk until they reach to the last step of the long stairs. Kid turned around and raised his sword to the air.
"For Lord Death! For Darkatos!"
Everyone cheered for the Shinigami's praising his father and glad to hear that the prince is fighting for their homeworld and will do anything to protect it. Once Kid is done praising, he told Hero to go inside the academy and go upstairs with his father. Once Hero left, Kid turn around and got into one knee and lowered his head in respect of his father's present. He then lifted his head up looking at the balcony of the DWMA, seeing his father Lord Death, his Death's Weapons and Meisters, His squadron, and the DWMA's own task-force. Kid started to wink at the women and teenage girls at the balcony, getting some of them blush.
After his done with his godly charm, he faced at his father, who was about to speak. Lord Death raises his large hand, signaling everyone in Death City, that he's about to crown the new king.
"Kid... My heir... My second born..." Lord Death spoke.
"I have seen many fights throughout your squadron. Your fight against the sinister forces within Arkotos, ridding the Black Clown into the darkest pits of Malicios, and foiled the plans of the Order of the Witches in Brujano. I can tell that you have done everything for Darkatos..." Lord Death continue to speak about the hardship and accomplishments he did for the past eons.
But what no one knows that a malicious force has enter the DWMA without having the Gods and Weapons notice.
Under the Academy Building, Lord Death's Chamber
"Wow, hearing the voice of the King from here sounds like he's about to finish his speaking." said a guard dressed in black armor and black pants. He also has a hood that is similar to Lord Death's head and he wearing a silver mask that resembles the King's cartoonish face.
"Yeah, Kid being the new king... I have a feeling that Darkatos is gonna get much safer within the rule of the God of Death." said the other guard wearing the same uniform as his partner. It appears that the guards are underground of the DWMA, inside the dark and mysterious chamber guarding various items collected by the Shinigami himself.
While they were walking, they're are securing the items from the hands of the Order of Witches, Dark Clowns, and stray Kishins. The guards pass by the Blood of Darkness from the fallen Black Clown located within the stalls on the right, as the black liquid levitating while the blood flows around itself like a globe. Other artifacts that resides with the Blood of Darkness on the right, The Maba's Eye, the leader of the Order of Witches own eye which gives the user immortality and power of the Witch Force, and Brew, a cube of unlimited power and can create any structure from any types of materials within all the eight worlds. On the left, lays the Book of Eibon which contain the many knowledge and secrets of all of the eight worlds that if goes to the wrong hands, the eight worlds will be in peril, along side with the two other artifacts, a glass ball whereas the pink-hued rings orbiting around it is known as Bloodlust whereas the user has the power of infinite rage and hatred which whoever has it is unstoppable but can tear the poor soul apart, and a black gauntlet with red outlines, also which it has five empty pieces within each knuckle and one in the center of the back hand. It has many dragon-related features like having sharp claws, the materials that made the gauntlet appears to contain rare dragon scales and metal. Some legends say that the gauntlet gives the wielder omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence, with the abilities of the six missing pieces.
The guards kept walking down to the chamber where the DWMA kept the many artifacts that could end all of Darkatos and the other worlds, and they stumble upon an item in the end of the hall is the weapon that the Kishins use on earth for their personal use, The Box of Thousand Demons. The guards approach it and started to admire the architecture of the box. "Whoa, dude look at the box. The architecture of that make it look dope." said the first guard.
"Did you really just said dope?" said the second guard. "What? People say that right?" The first guard question. "Don't know. Don't care. Remember, we're suppose to fend off any intruders from Lord Death's Chamber."
"Why do we need to guard the artifacts? No one in all the eight worlds can possibly control the weapons of mass destruction, and plus we have Orion The Destroyer of the Cosmos, and one of the Six Emperors of Astral. He can deal with all the guard duty." reply the first guard.
"Yes, Orion doesn't mind for killing any intruders but Lord Death wants us to guard the box. Also, Orion is an Astral Emperor, he can't do pathetic jobs. Not just that, The Box of Thousand Demons can only be wield by a Kishin and with the power of the box, they can slaughter the citizens of one world." The second guard inform his partner about the power the box represent itself.
"Whoa! Nevermind what I said, Orion can take care of the Kishins so easily! Orion shouldn't waste his power on those monsters." The first guard restated his idea of the whole guarding duty.
"Heh, I figure as mu-aagh!" The second guard was impaled in the chest by some large blade. The one who committed the kill was a Kishin wearing a black robe, has one large red eye, pale skin, and a large knife as his right hand while the other is normal.
"What the hell?! Gaugh!" The other guard's throat was slit as another Kishin wearing the same attire and skin as his partner, but carries a dagger in his belt, and cuts him with it. This Kishin has two normal eyes, but his left is the color blue, while the other is green.
"Excellent work." The two Kishins turn to their third and final member of their team. This Kishin wore the same clothing as his team, but his face is cover in bandages, but his mouth, and there are three ink drawn eyes imprinted the cloths. "Now, lets get the box and get the hell outta here. Death can sense our presence soon."
"I'm on it!" The Kishin for a knife for an hand try to grab the box while the King of Darkatos is about to give his blessing to his son. The Kishin finally grabbed the box and notify his group that they're ready to go. As the Kishin are about to make their escape, Lord Death finally sense their soul within his chamber.
Back to Kid's Blessing
"Kid... Will you protect these people and treat them as your children and grandchildren as long you still have breath within you." Lord Death ask his son
"I will!" Kid reply.
"Will you care for your squadron and will continue to pass the throne to the bloodline of your race, and will provide a new generations of Shinigamis." The elder Death say once
more.
"I will!" Kid answer again.
"Will you sacrifice anything you hold dear to protect Darkatos. Your friendships, your marriage, anything that made you the Shinigami you are." Lord Death said for the last time.
"I will!" Kid yet again, says the same answer.
"Then I declare the new-" The elder Shinigami has sense an unpleasant force within his chamber. He remained calm, but Death City's citizens, his meisters, weapons, and his students are worry for Lord Death pausing for a oddly a few minutes.
This made Kid a little concern. Has his father sense a threat within Darkatos grasp? Or has the Black Clown has return for revenge? But something tells him that he'll not get his blessing today.
"The Kishins..." Lord Death whispers but it was heard from his death gods, death weapons, and his two sons. Kid's eyes widened fro hearing such news. The Kishins came back to steal the Box of Thousand Demons.
Back on Lord Death's chamber, the Kishins are about to make to their escape. The Kishin kept on running in the long hallway within the chamber. "Ha! Ha! Finally, the Kishins' conquest for Darkatos will soon be ours!" said the Kishin for a knife for a hand.
"Yes, we made the Kishin King proud of our mission. Now we all have to do is to return back and wait for the king's next action." said the two colored eye Kishin. "Focus you two! Remember, this is Death's chamber, and Death will do anything from preventing us from our goal." The Kishin with the cloths covering around his face.
"Relax! We got this! We're not going to get squash like a- GAUGH!" The Kishin with the knife for a hand was somehow stomped on by some huge foot. The other Kishins look up and succumbed to fear from seeing who's the one that killed the Kishin.
It was a giant about 200 feet tall, deluxed with black Barbute armor attached with a red kilt and having spikes around the knuckles, shoulders, knee pads, and chest plates. It appears that the giant wore some Barbute helmet, having the outlines red and the whole helmet black. The one thing that the Kishin will remember their predator, is his astral blue eyes.
"I'm Orion, One of the Emperors of Astral, The Destroyer of the Cosmos. I'm the reaper of you now, join with the others who perish by my hands." The giant lifted his foot and to see a floating red soul from the demon with the knife for a hand. The two remaining Kishins are fill with horror to the brim and scatter around the chamber to prevent their sudden death.
Orion didn't move from his place and decided to bring the Kishins to himself. Orion open his palm and a blue portal with stars around appears from it and leads to wherever it dimension comes from. Back to the two remaining Kishins, the one with the two colored eyes kept running through the halls from the Astral Emperor.
"Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit!" The Kishin kept running for his life. Even though the tales that Kishins are the most terrifying and ferocious beings in all of Dark Gods myths, they're now running from the most powerful entity of all of galaxy, probably the universe. While the Kishin was running, he wasn't looking at his direction and he was suck into the same blue portal in front of him. After he was inside, the portal closes.
Orion waited for a few minutes, still has his palm open. When he calculated of his outcome, something came out of the portal upon his palm, and it was another red soul Orion has collected. Orion didn't show any emotions or gestures of his easy preys. He just kept staying in his positions until he kill the last Kishin.
The Kishin with the cloths covering his face, is carrying the box and try to escape. The Kishin never thought that this would never happen. Orion shouldn't dwell within the Eldest Shinigami's chamber. He should be with the other Emperors of Astral or somewhere near the Celestial Spirit World. But no matter, Orion is here, and he'll never leave until the Kishin's dead.
Without wasting time, he saw the exit from the chamber. With hope in his side, he dash to the exit to return for his king. "My lord, I'll make Darkatos ours! Wait for me, I have the success for your conquest!" The Kishin ran towards the exit to his king. He'll be fruition to his lord's desires. That is, until he was eradicated by a celestial beam that came from the eyes of the Astral Emperor. Orion then obtained the last soul from the three intruders. He then returns back to where he came, never to be seen by anyone, but the Shinigamis.
Twenty Minutes Later
The three Shinigamis, Kid, Asura, and Lord Death itself, enter the chamber to see of what's going on. They later see that the Box of Thousand Demons was on the floor.
Lord Death pick it up the box and teleport it back to its own place within his chamber. The Shinigamis kept walking through the chamber, until seeing the dead guards that their were suppose to guard the box. When Kid saw this, he became furious of what the intruders has done. All he wanted to do is to find their king and destroy hi with his bare hands.
"Damn it!" Kid cursed. "I knew that we should have destroy Kishioku when we have the chance." Kid continued, getting the attention from his brother and father. "Don't worry my son, their thieves have pay their lives for intruding our world." His father said, trying to calm his second born.
"It doesn't matter! Both of our guards are killed because of them! In order to protect our people from them, we have to either conquer them or destroy them." Kid's antics are starting to get things out of control. Lord Death knows how his younger son acts, but when he started to grow up, he became to act more and more of a war general. "We are suppose to bring peace and order throughout the worlds, not enabling a war." Lord Death says.
"What if they stole something besides the Box of Thousand Demons?"
"They haven't stole anything else, Kid."
"They know that you're vulnerable when you are giving the ceremony!"
"Then we will improve our defenses and to find any breach within our chamber."
"They just broke your truce father!"
"Then I will consult with their king and we'll settle it out."
"Then we must settle this by defeating their forces with brute strength."
"You're thinking more of a warrior then a negotiator."
"As King of Darkatos-"
"But You're not the king!" Lord Death has finally scolded his son. Kid didn't talk back, after his father had enough of his attitude. "Not yet, your attitude is not worthy for the throne of Darkatos. I hereby say that until you are able to learn to how to be compassionate and kind towards others." With that, Lord Death left the chamber and went to his room to continue his duties.
DWMA's Mess Hall
Kid was so furious that he went to the academy's mess hall and destroyed everything within it. "Rraagh!" Kid roared as he slices the table with his sword, Sparta. Kid kept doing til his squadron came and told him to stop. Once he did, he stare at the destroyed parts of the table and started to think of how the Kishins were able to access his father's chamber.
"Dammit! He doesn't know of what the Kishins are plotting next! We have to do something!" Kid said. His older brother walks towards him to talk to him about what happen.
"Kid, I know that your upset, but right now you need to focus on regaining our father's trust so you can become the new king of Darkatos."
"To hell with that! What I really want to do to protect our homeworld, is to destroy those Kishins!" Kid ignored of what his brother is trying to tell him. He then turn to his team and began to ask them something.
"Ox, Kim, Kilik... Will you help me with something?" Kid questions was able to get their attention towards him. "What is that you want us to do Kid?" ask Ox.
"I want you guys to go to Kishioku with me." Kid says.
"WHAT?!" His whole squadron yelled for Kid asking them to join his suicide mission.
"Kid, I know that you are our leader, but this is not for us. I think you should find another team with that job." Kilik said. Kid put his head down, making his hair shadow his eyes.
"I'm disappointed in you guys." Kid's comment was able to get the shocks of his three teammates. "I have seen your strength within battle, and you say that you can't handle a few Kishins? Ox, you and Harvar are have strategize many plans and outcomes that we are still breathing today, and who's the person that encourage you to become the Strategist of our squadron?" Ox turn his head down and answers back with a smirk on his face. "You did."
"Kilik, Fire, and Thunder... when you guys thought that when you died with the battle of the golems, you thought you went to Havela, but who help you get up and survive the whole fight?" Kilik was full of courage from the words of his leader. "You did!"
"Kim and Jacqueline... I see how passionate you are towards others, even though you girls don't show it. I see for what you did for me when we first encounter the Dark Clowns and I was about to fall, but you heal me to continue to fight, and who was the one who was able to get you to the ranks of the DWMA?"
"We did." Both Kim and Jacqueline said. Kid froze when he recalled that time. "True, but I supported it." He reply.
"So... lets go to Kishioku and take back of what is ours!"
"Yeah!" Everyone in Kid's squadron cheered and was ready to venture with him til the end. Asura was skeptical about Kid's antics, but he's the leader and he must obliged. So then, the young Shinigami's squadron drove on their horses and rode to the bridge of Death City to an unknown place where the warriors of Darkatos goes for crossing over worlds, where Sid Barrett, The Undead Gatekeeper of Darkatos.
Back to the Original Timeline (First POV)
Kid lets go from the blade and puts his hands on his head. Having all the memories from his past 10,000 years ago. He started to have mixed feelings and couldn't express of
what he felt. "W-what the hell what that?" Kid said.
"The images you see within your mind is your memories..." The blade spoke. Kid turns his head to see the weapon that possess him this morning. "Sparta?" Kid said.
"Yes Kid, I'm Sparta... The weapon your father gave you to... I control you because I sense that everything is becoming ruptured..." Sparta kept talking to get Kid to understand his statement. "Who has ruptured my memories Sparta? Was it the Kishin King? The Dark Clowns?" Kid kept asking many questions to his weapon.
"No... none of them has erased all memories in Darkatos, but that doesn't matter, I need your help..." Sparta says until Kid is listening to him. "What is it, Sparta?"
"Darkatos is in deep peril..." The blade spoke, getting Kid's full attention.
"How come? I haven't see any Kishins, Witches, or any other threats."
"That's the problem... We're in Terratos..." Kid's eyes widened in shock. "What?! Then where's Darkatos?! Is it destroyed?!" Kid yelled to get at least an answer.
"No... It appears that Darkatos and Terratos are somehow fused together... Think about it... The Star Clan resides in Terratos..." Kid's mind started to put everything in order. "Of course! So that means that we're Black Star's homeworld! So how are we are suppose to get Darkatos back?"
"It's a very simple task... All you have to do is to go to Lord Death's Chamber and find Crona, the God of Blood... With his abilities within you... you can control the whole DWMA and force it to be separate it with Terratos... " Sparta explain.
"Alright, lets do this!" Kid was about to march straight towards the chamber but Kid's blade stop him. "Wait..." Kid turns to his blade, still stuck to the ground. "What is it?"
"I have to show you something..." The blade was somehow to telepathically carried a large red book and gave it to Kid. Kid started to inspect its fabrication and questions about it. "What is this?"
"That book is from Terratos and it has something about the God's Heart... I think you should read it before you go out to save our world..." Kid listens to his blade and opens the book. The book has many information about Terratos's resources and mythos. This could actually help Kid to know about Terratos. That's is when he found the chapter of God's Heart.
Chapter XVIII
God's Not Dead
God is dead. Without him, there will be no more faith from the people who reside the place he created for them. God is the only one and first being to exist, and now he's dead. God has gave us life and now without him, how are we suppose to bring life on our sacred home. God is dead. God won't come back. He's gone... forever.
We try to go back to our ways but without God, we can't fulfill his wishes. We can't go on without having the one person who loved and care for us all. That was then, this is now.
The Devils and Angels still think that God was still alive, but somewhere hidden. They kept that philosophy for generations... We the people of God followed that philosophy and hope it came true. And it did. Somewhere in the lands of what God created for us, The Angels found of what was a piece of our creator... our father... his heart.
The Angels were in celebration that a piece of God existence, but that led to more conflict. The Devils heard about it and thought if they bring back God, The Devils won't defeat the forces of Heaven without their leader, Satan, who is dead. This then brought a war between the two. Many lives lost, people losing their homes, their was no good cause of this. When the Devils and Angels were about to go fight for the last time, something happen.
God's Heart was stealing the souls of all who have been succumbed to violence. The Devils and Angels see this through and realized of what they have done. With that, The House of Gremory's leader, Zeoticus and the remaining 72 pillars made an alliance with Micheal and Heaven to end this conflict and hid God's Heart from anyone, so no one won't be in harms way.
This proves that God is not dead, he has seen the conflict and wants to end it. He did, and now we must continue to spread peace throughout the world or else God will punish us all...
God's not Dead...
He's alive
- Nicholas III
With all the information Kid has read, this made him very interested, but very confusing. Did Terratos have their own God? Darkatos has been around for eons and have gave protection and resources from the Dark Gods. Was their were a god from Dark God's myths that was banish and sent to Terratos to do good deeds. It didn't matter, Kid has something to do.
Lord Death's Chamber
After trying to figure out of where is his father's chamber, he finally has found it and has enter to the chamber. He found many various items from the memories he regain, so he venture fourth the chamber to find his friend. "Damn, I can't find Crona within the chamber." Kid said.
"He's somewhere within it Kid... Don't lose hope... We need to find him or else everyone will stay in Terratos and letting the other worlds bring chaos throughout the cosmos..." Sparta said telepathically.
Kid went deeper and deeper within the chamber and couldn't find him. It took him two hours to look for the Blood God, and he did. He saw Crona in the shambles of steel chains and has a metal vest to prevent him from summoning Ragnarok. "Crona? Crona!" Kid yells to get the Blood God's attention. Crona barely have the energy to lift his head to see who's talking to him, but he was able to, and saw a three-white lines individual.
"W-what... D-do you... want...?" Crona spoke in a very weak voice. "I'm here to get you out, but I need you to do something for me in return." Kid says. Crona widened his eyes from hearing what the three-white lines individual said. "Really? You will free me?"
"Yes, only if I talk to Ragnarok." Kid ask.
"Whatever you want, please! Get me out of my misery!" Crona pleading, wanting his suffering to end. Kid then breaks the chains with his bare hands, and open the vest that kept Ragnarok from getting out. Once Crona was release, a large dark muscular figure with large gloved hands, spikes on several parts of his body. His face consists of large ping-pong ball-like eyes with Xs for pupils, with on visible mouth and a giant white X on his face. The large figure came close to the Shingami's face, trying to intimidate him.
"What do you want, puke?" said Ragnarok.
"I need you to help me, by giving me some black blood from you" Kid ask, which led to Ragnarok laughing maniacally. "No can do, pipsqueak! I have to unleashed chaos in this place, so surrender and I'll won't eat your soul." Ragnarok suggested. This made Kid furious.
Kid grabbed Ragnarok throat and started to slowly crushes it. "Agah-Ungh... C-chill out bro!" Ragnarok pleading for his life. This made Kid have the advantage. "How dare you trying to confront a god, you pest!" Kid yelled, as he adds pressure to the throat. "I'll ask you one will time, give me some of your powers, or else I'll kill you right here right now!" Kid threatened.
"Ughh... Okay! Okay!" Ragnarok agrees and then instructed Kid to how to received Black Blood. "Alright, I need you to at least have a cut mark, so I can add a droplet of black blood and will soon develop, and you will have the powers from it." Ragnarok says, as soon Kid cut his arm with his right hand.
"Alright, do it." Ragnarok let his right index finger let out a little droplet of Black Blood and landed on Kid's cut. As the Black Blood flows around through Kid, He felt mush sinister power within the Black Blood. Kid was able to control it, since he was a Death god. "Thank you, so for now on I'll let you free but if you ever get into trouble, I'll kill you myself." Kid's threat was able to send chills on Ragnarok's spine, if he even has one.
With that, he let Crona leave the DWMA, hoping that he won't be caught by his father's forces. Once he left, Kid talks to Sparta about his last objective. "Alright Sparta, I have Black Blood within me, should I do it right now?"
"Quickly Kid... I sense that the your father's meisters are on your tail... you have to do it now..." With the quick answer, Kid was using the droplet of the Black Blood he receives, and uses its might to get all the parts of Darkatos to be separate from Terratos. A large black circle appear under Kid as its signals that Kid is using the Black Blood to form circles around the part of Darkatos to be separated from earth. It took all of Kid's might but he was able to have enough strength to keep going. "Rrraaagghh!" About twelve minutes had pass, Kid was pushing himself to the limit and he did. When he finish, the circles disappear.
"Sparta, Did I did it? I can't tell because everything still looks the same." said Kid.
"You did it Kid... All the parts of Darkatos has returned back to its rightful place... You saved Darkatos by preventing chaos of the eight worlds..." Kid took a breath for relief, it took all his might to make everything back to normal.
"Now Kid, return back to your friends... I think they're worried about you..." said Sparta. "I will Sparta. I will come back and take you back with me." Kid then left the chamber and to go find his friends.
Front of the DWMA's Building
Kid was still tired from making everything go back to the way it was and can't wait to go back with his friends. When he exited the DWMA, he saw Soul and Maka looking for a certain person. Maka turns back and sees Kid and started run towards him. "Kid! Where were you? We have been looking for you for hours!" said Maka.
"Don't worry, I'm here am I?" Kid reply. After with the little talk with Maka, he then walks towards to Soul, seeing what he's doing. "Soul, what are you looking at?" said Kid.
"That." Soul pointed out his fingers towards a three-headed dog, coated in black fur, and magma like eyes, running around Death City. Kid then looks at it, then to Soul. "What about it?"
"That's a Kishin, probably its looking for Human Souls." Soul reply. Kid started to think of what is going on. He still has the memories 10,000 years ago, but no one does. He remembers of how a jerk he is, and now he's starting to reflect his past-self and his current-self and must decide what he should do. "Look Soul, I know that its a Kishin, but can you let him go for a moment." said Kid.
Soul and Maka were shocked of what Kid say. "What did you say, Kid? You want to let this Kishin kill the innocents for its hunger?" Soul says, starting to think that this is not their Kid. "Look, maybe not all Kishins are bad. Maybe its looking for its pack and will go away." Kid kept defending the Kishin.
"What are you saying Kid? We're students of the DWMA! Our job is to protect the world from Kishins and Witches and that we are gonna do." Maka say, as she tells Soul to transform into a scythe. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait Maka! Let me explain!" Maka ignored of what Kid is gonna say and jumped above him to get close to the three-headed dog.
Death City Marketplace
Throughout all the the once peaceful marketplace, the citizens are running away from the three-headed dog, where it was running around the marketplace, terrorizing the folks.
"Help!"
"Somebody! Save us!"
"Is anyone a Weapon or Meister here?!"
"Run for your lives!"
Those where the screams of the people making seeing the three-headed dog. This made the three-headed dog more terrified even more, by the cries of the citizens. The three-headed dog kept running in order to run away from the people who are screaming at it. Once the people cleared a path by getting out the way, the three-headed dog found a way out and decided to run for it. It got so close that it was happy that they'll get out of the city, but that was tarnish when a Scythe Wielding meister got on its way.
The three-headed dog froze in fear and decided to bark at her, to make her afraid and probably run away. The meister didn't and waited for Soul to give him the call. "Maka you have a clean shot to cut all its head." Soul said. "Thanks Soul, I always count on you." Maka's comment made Soul blush. Maka then stared at the Kishin and was ready to give the deadly blow.
"Kishin Cerberus, your terrorizing the innocent is over, your soul is mine!" Maka got Soul ready, and swung him towards the three-headed dog. The Cerberus closes its eyes, about to meet it fate. As Maka collided the scythe to it, nothing happen. The Cerberus open its eyes and sees its savior. Maka and Soul were in total shock of seeing what just happen.
Kid blocked the death blow by using his arm from strucking the Cerberus. "Stay the hell away from it!" Kid kicked Maka in the stomach, which cause her to crash to the wall of a building. Maka then cough up blood, then fallen to the ground, unconscious. Kid turn towards the Cerberus and looks at it in the eyes and told it something.
"Run! Run before others will come and get you!" Kid said to the Cerberus and it run away from the scene. Luckily for the Cerberus, it ran away so far that no meister or weapon will catch it. Kid turns to Maka still on the ground, while Soul turn back to his human and tried to comfort Maka. Soul then turns and glares at Kid for what he has done.
"What the hell, Kid?! Why did you do that?! You let that Kishin to kill the innocents and you don't feel anything about it?!" Soul yelled at Kid for what he was doing. "Me?! You are trying to kill an innocent Kishin that didn't do anything wrong! How about you! You are trying to kill it and it's violating the truce my father made, you son of a bitch!" Kid yelled back.
Soul was lost for a moment when he heard speaking about Lord Death's truce. But it didn't matter, he was piss off for what he did to Maka. "You'll pay for doing this to my beloved!" Soul turn his left arm to a scythe and was ready for combat.
"You never was in love with Maka, you bastard! I'm going to bring you back from the reality you are living in!" Kid acclaim as he gets ready for comeback as well. Without further a do, Soul charges towards Kid, and jump so he can get a good hit. As he was about to make his attack, Kid jumped as well, and kneed Soul in the stomach. Soul was coughing out blood from the pain and fall towards the ground. Soul kept coughing more and more blood, that he couldn't get up. He realized something. That's not their Kid. Kid has never been stronger than before. Could it be that he's holding back?
Kid then walks towards Soul can carries him by the neck. "I'll give you this final chance, don't harm any Kishins until I say so." Kid reply. There was no way that Soul could beat him, so he had an idea that he waited to do when they fought. "Alright, but just letting you know... That building over there isn't symmetrical..." Soul says as he waited for Kid to take the bait.
"What about it?" Kid replied.
Soul was in total shock. Yep, this isn't their Kid. Kid lets go of Soul then started to walk away. While he's walking away, he heard Sparta talking to him. "Kid you idiot... Don't you realize of what you have done... Everyone will think that you went berserk and everyone is going to consult with you..."
"It doesn't matter... I'm the only one that has my memories back, so I must get everyone to remember of who I am and what we were before." Kid says as he kept continuing walking away. "Very well then... But I warned you... he's near..." said Sparta.
"Black Star? Don't worry, I'll go easy on him. With him having his Star Senses, I have a little bit of Black Blood and the powers and strength I still have 10,000 years ago, this will end smoothly unless I get out of control with my rage." As Kid said that, He senses someone in front of him, he then looks forward and sees Black Star, Tsubaki, and the Thompson Sister looking at him and for what he had done. "Kid, what did you do?" ask Liz but Kid didn't respond.
"Kid, why aren't you telling us something?" ask Tsubaki, but Kid didn't reply. Kid was still calm and said a name that caught everyone's attention.
"Black Star... I know that you're wondering of what's going on, but I'm telling you this. If you want to fight, I'm ready for it." Kid still stayed in his place waiting for Black Star's answer. Black Star walks towards to Kid, signaling that's he's taking up the challenge.
"Everyone, get out of here. Go somewhere safe. Hell, get the entire city to safety. This is going to be ugly," ordered the assassin. They were all stubborn to leave, but they realized what will happen when the Shinigami's son and the miracle child were to fight. With that, the gang had left Kid and Black Star alone to settle their differences.
"Well, I'm waiting," said an impatient Kid.
"Kid... Black Star might be using one of his techniques to try to take you down, or he'll be testing you..." Sparta announced.
The assassin sprinted in almost the speed of light, aiming his right knuckles underneath his breastbone. Kid, however, was faster than that and managed to grab the bluenette's wrist with his left hand and karate chopping Black Star's neck with his right. The assassin was already down in the matter of two seconds.
"Pathetic. And I expected more from you," Kid blurted as slowly walked away. As he was a few meters from the assassin, the young shinigami suddenly turned around and blocked Black Star's right jab with his left arm and did a palm strike with his other hand to the bluenette's chest, sending him flying and sliding across the pavement.
"Tch, such a waste of time. To think you are actually the son of White Star, the most feared and brutal assassin to ever live. But just like you, he is weak. He is all show with no means of proof of his strength. The Paris Genocide? He would have made this world into a monarchy if it wasn't for him being weak. I'm sure you are unconscious, so I'll let you be." And again, he walks away.
"Kid don't provoke Black Star... He may be weaker than you, but he can fight hard..." Sparta warned.
Kid would have left Black Star to rot, if it wasn't for a laughter. The kind of laughter that would send a shiver down your spine. The young shinigami turns around to see the assassin slowly getting up.
"You just don't know when to give up, do you?"
"...Hehe, no. I've been taught to not give up. Even if it means death"
"You fool. Reaper Combat Art: 'Sin' Stance." Kid arches his back forward and has his arms form a sideways 'Z'. "Once I'm done with you, you will be unrecognizable."
"Really... You still doing that ridiculous combat art, even though you can be him in a fist fight...?" Sparta adds.
'Shut up.' said Kid in his mind.
Kid sprints as if he is breaking the sound barrier and jumps in the air to give Black Star a kick to the face. However, the assassin dodged the attack and gave a cocky smirk. The bluenette fell on his back and lifted his legs up as he balanced on his head and upper back. Having a surprised expression, Kid crossed his arms to cover his face just in time as Black Star's feet came in contact. The attack was powerful enough to send the young shinigami flying, but still landed like a feline. The assassin, on the other hand, landed on his occiput and upper back again. He then laughs maniacally and springs back up and lands on the balls of his feet.
"So you're going to fight me without using your hands?," Kid mentioned Black Star's concealed hands. "Do you believe you are actually going to win like that?"
"Maybe," Black Star said as he slowly got up and sprinted towards Kid, giving him a hard right hook to which he quickly blocks with his left arm. Just as the son of death left his body open, the bluenette rapidly took the opportunity and shoved his left palm against Kid's abdomen.
"You are finished." Black Star twisted his wrist, signaling his Soul Menace attack. However, the attack never occurred! Kid managed to back away and found out what just happened. The assassin was frightened.
"Black Star, ever since you joined the DWMA, we have fought together. Compare to then, my combat arts and power have vastly improved. But I see you've grown weaker."
"Huh?" The assassin gave him an expression of confusion, disbelief, and mockery.
"If not that, then it must be that you realize you cannot beat me and lost your confidence. Which is why you can't execute your wavelength as an attack."
'God dammit! That fucking hurts!' Kid yells in his mind.
"That's what you get when you're playing with him... Even though there weren't any electrical currents from that hit, the radiating power is still there..." Sparta remarked.
The bluenette decided to ignore the young shinigami and continues to attack him. First, it's a right hook to Kid's oblique. Once that attack missed, Black Star threw a left jab to which the son of death blocked with his left forearm and retaliated with a palm strike to the assassin's right cheek, to which he countered with a knee to the young shinigami's abdomen. The two leaped back to give a small distance in between.
Within a blink of an eye, Kid elbowed Black Star to the face. And he would have succeeded if the assassin didn't react fast enough to block with his left forearm. The bluenette returned with a right hook, but Kid used his left palm to send the attack away from him. After that, the son of death gave a swift heel strike to the assassin's face.
However, Black Star shielded himself with both of his forearms. Once again, the two retreated back a couple of feet apart. Black Star is showing signs of tiredness with a couple of bruises on his arms. Kid, on the other hand, appears to be normal with no sweat on his forehead.
"You have gotten weaker. Admit it. You aren't and will never be the best. You dishonored your clan and your dead father. Give up and I will not kill you." Black Star did not listen. Instead, a sinister grin began to appear and grew on his face. Blinking his eyes, little star replaced his pupils. Kid knew what this meant.
"Dammit Kid... You finally provoked the mortal... Now you'll be in serious conflict..."
'Doesn't matter... I wanna see what he is made of.' Kid says in his head.
"Your clan's hidden power. Something to give you a bit of a boost."
A strong wavelength was gradually radiating.
"I see, you are also going to use your Madness Takehold. Trying to have the upperhand for a few minutes is what you think will lead you victorious. You think you'll win? Stop this."
"...I can't stop... The moment I stop will be my death!"
"MADNESS"
"Dammit Kid, you made him use that pathetic move that can make mortals surpass their levels..." Sparta says.
'Yeah, but for a mortal it's just a boost. If Black Star was from Malicios or Kishioku then I'm gonna have a hard time.' Kid replies in his mind.
Kid decided to end this and ran towards the the assassin, who is standing still. The young shinigami went behind the bluenette and elbowed the back of his neck, to which made Black Star get on one knee. The son of death appeared to his opponent's side, clasped his hands together, and slammed them on the assassin's neck again. Black Star got even closer to the ground and punched the pavement with his right fist. Kid brought up his right leg and slammed it on the bluenette's back. The attack sent a shockwave to the surrounding concrete which was now deep and cracked within a ten feet radius. Black Star, who is face full under the debris, punched the concrete with his right fist, signifying he is still willing to fight. Kid sighed and pushed his left further into the assassin, who now goes deeper under the cracked pavement. The bluenette twitched his fingers violently before almost immediately relaxing. Kid squatted down near Black Star.
"Just give it up. You cannot defeat me. I am a god while you're merely a human being. You are all talk about transcending God, but here you are showing me you cannot defend yourself or even have resistance against my attacks. Better to lay here than continuing where you could lose your life" said Kid.
'Told you Sparta, I haven't lost to him. Yet, I do admit, he's an excellent fighter... for a mortal.'
"That may be true, but this mortal is unlike anyone in Terratos... He may even surprise the rank of warriors of Darkatos, but not in any gods in the eight worlds..."
Getting up for hopefully the last time, Kid walked away. Only then he turned to see Black Star, lying lifelessly in the crater. Showing a small smirk, the son of death continued to venture towards the DWMA.
"One down, a few more to go," Kid whispered.
"...I will transcend God. But first, I have to surpass you!"
Stopping dead in his tracks, the young shinigami once again turned around. He saw what he least expected.
Black Star, standing up straight within the crater, has an entirely new appearance. An appearance that Kid recognizes back in Paris three years ago. The appearance that would make even Sid to cringe and cowardly hide. The appearance that would ultimately boost the assassin's abilities to that near of a god's. And the one known as Black Star's demonic side.
"Malum Sicarius, fancy meeting you here. Care to finish what Black Star started?" Kid asked in a mock tone. However, this only made the demon laugh.
"You really think I'm Malum? Well, I guess by the looks of it. Though, I am not Malum. I just have his appearance. The kind that I have worked my ass off to get. Now we're even. So, let's start round two"
"It will be entertaining to see a simple creation from the Great Evil himself go against the Son of Death..." Sparta comments.
'Well you can't get what you want!' Kid answers telepathically.
Kid scoffs and ran towards the bluenette, once again nearly breaking the sound barrier. The young shinigami threw a powerful left jab, to which Black Star easily blocked with both of his forearms. Kid then used his left leg to break the assassin's defense, but instead he sent the demon sliding on the pavement though still on his feet. Recovering from the attack, Black Star leaped towards Kid with his right hand covered in blue electricity. The son of death was struck on his chest, which send him flying and crash into a nearby wall. He did not expect for his opponent's Soul Menace to work. Especially since it was very powerful.
Kid jumped out of the large dent he made in the wall and simply scrubbed off any rubble he had and walked forward as if he wasn't injured. Black Star grinned and sprinted towards the young shinigami. He then leaped and gave a strong kick to Kid's chest.
However, the latter reacted quickly enough and blocked the attack and push the demon off. The two collided their fists against one another. Both of them gave pissed off expressions and leaped away, leaving a small distance between. Black Star, once again, targeted Kid, who prepares his fists. However, he was too slow and the assassin gave the son of death a hard left jab to the jaw. Kid is beginning to feel agitated.
"Death God Martial Arts 'Insane Sin' Stance!"
The young shinigami's first Line of Sanzu started to connect.
"Dammit Kid, are you trying to kill Black Star by using half of your power...?"
'Don't worry, I'm giving it like a 50% power on my first line for this attack. I don't want to kill him with 100%, he's still mortal.' Kid says to Sparta.
Once it did, Kid jumped into the air and twisted his upper body, letting the momentum of his right leg create an impact upon Black Star who has his forearms cross to protect himself. Kid's right foot managed to get under his opponent's forearms and raised up his leg, exposed Black Star's chest. Kid immediately lowered his leg and slammed his two fists on the demon's thoracic, which caused him to cough up blood. Before letting him fall on the ground, the son of death grabbed both of the assassin's shoulders and did a backflip. Landing on one leg, he used his opposite foot to strike Black Star's neck.
Finally, the young shinigami attempted a roundhouse kick and succeeded. The assassin was sent flying into the same wall Kid previously crashed into.
Being filled with satisfaction, the son of death let out a sigh of relief. Once he set his mind onto the fight, Kid noticed Black Star crouching in front of him. Having no time to defend himself, Kid was sent into the air by a powerful uppercut. The assassin jumped onto the young shinigami's upper body, slammed his feet down, and the two plummeted towards and reached ground zero. Dust covered the area for a moment before clearing up, showing the two rivals near each other with angered expressions.
Black Star started with a karate kick to which Kid simply used his left hand to block. The assassin threw a right jab, but the young shinigami still managed to dodge. He retaliated with an axe kick, but the demon protect the top of his head with his forearms. Getting Kid's leg off and unconsciously letting his guard down, Black Star received a headbutt from his opponent and backed away a few steps to try to recover.
Once he did, the assassin threw a powerful right jab. Kid tilted his head to the right and let the punch go past him. Since the demon was too close to the son of death, the latter targeted the abdominal area with enough force to cause Black Star to lower his guard even more. It was then followed by an uppercut. The assassin backed up a bit once more and attempted to retaliate with a right jab again.
However, Kid is getting a lot faster and landed two swift punches to the face. The demon's movements were getting sluggish, but he was still determined to fight. Black Star attempted to land a hit, but instead received one; nearly tripping as he was sent back. A black eye was quickly forming and his nose started to leak a red substance.
The two eighteen year olds, (Well one 18 year old and a 19,000 year old) faced each other and sprinted towards their opponent. Both commenced their attacks, but again Kid was faster and his fist landed on Black Star's nose in a dreadful manner. Nearly falling, the assassin regain his balance and tried to lift the young shinigami from under his abdomen. Unfortunately, Kid slammed his knee against the demon's chest and pulled him away. Next, he threw a powerful left jab.
Black Star fell to the ground and screamed in pain from the impact. Nevertheless, he managed to sit up dodge as the son of death attempted to stomp on his face. Still on the his knees, Black Star shielded the side of his head to block the incoming of Kid's leg. He was thankful that he nearly fell to the ground again as the assassin easily ducked under Kid's other leg. He was not thankful this time as the young shinigami was able get him with a left hook.
Quickly, the demon got up and ducked under a roundhouse kick. Getting pissed off, Kid threw a right jab, aiming at his rival's face. Black Star miraculously evaded the attack, but not the next one as he was too close to Kid. Grabbing his black shirt, Kid tossed the assassin as if he was a rag doll and got on top of him. With no time to react, Black Star was taking every hit he was receiving. Kid clasped his hands together and slammed them on the demon's face. A small crater formed beneath them.
Kid got up and looked away, not wanting to see his rival's supposed dead body. It was a horrible decision as two seconds later a fist came in contact with his jaw. The young shinigami was sent to the ground just like his assailant. Black Star backed away up once Kid started to get up.
The assassin already has two black eyes, a bloody nose, extra bruises, and a jaw that may be dislocated. The son of death, on the other hand, only has a nose that is barely bleeding and black eye that is slowly forming. The former is also not looking good on his stamina. Sweating, not having a proper posture, movements are becoming slower and less effective. Kid is showing signs of fatigue, but only heavy breathing. This fight may have already ended.
However, the two rushed towards each other as if they just started fighting. They threw the same punches at the same location. Only difference is that Kid's attack was very effective. Just as he was about to throw another one, Black Star managed to regain his balance and focus and landed a powerful punch right under the young shinigami's breast bone. Standing still for a few seconds, the two fell down as the pain now surged throughout their body.
"Told you... you shouldn't let him bested you in a simple fight... You know that you can heal very fast if you want..."
'No... I won't waste my regeneration abilities just because of Black Star's hits... also I don't want to reveal to much of my powers. I can heal later when he is beaten.' Kid answers again to Sparta telepathically.
"Holy shit, I did not know getting punched there would be fucking painful," stated Kid as he is breathing heavily.
"Oh yeah, like it's that bad," rebutted Black Star.
"Still, you're weak. Not even in your strongest form could you defeat me. As a god, it is expected of me to be omnipotent"
"You got that right. But remember, I will surpass God and everyone else who is stronger than me. And that includes you"
"We'll just have to see about that." Kid got up, albeit with some struggle.
"You still want to fight? Aw hell yeah." Black Star also got up, but with much more difficulty. Instead of going old school with his fists, he unsheathed his two wrist blades.
"Oh? You finally come to the conclusion that you should use weapons? It's not going to make a difference anyways"
"We'll see"
Possibly for the final time, Black Star went at nearly the speed of light towards Kid and struck his left blade into his abdomen. It went in, definitely. But the young shinigami only grunted and threw a devastating right hook. The assassin went flying into another building, causing another large dent. The son of death stood where he was, eyeing any small movements his opponent might make. He was right as the demon vanished within a blink of an eye and reappeared in front of Kid. A dynamic uppercut met with the latter's jaw and a jab to his chest, sending him skipping across the pavement.
"This is just getting old *cough*," stated Kid.
"Then come over here and let's start something new," declared Black Star.
With that said, the son of death sprung back up and leaped while preparing an attack. The assassin foresaw this and executed a roundhouse kick. Kid grabbed his assailant's leg and did a front flip as the demon now lost balance and collapsed on his back. Kicking his legs out, Black Star sprung up just in time as his rival tried to stomp on his face again.
"Speed Star," whispered the assassin.
What he did next may have taken a life. The demon carried out lighting speed attacks that consisted of shoving his right blade through Kid's throat and his other blade into chest where his heart is located. He ejected his left blade from the flesh and forcefully insert it into his rival's abdomen. He then used his other blade to slice Kid's left cheek and impale his eye of the same side.
Going behind him, Black Star stabbed his opponent in the middle of his spine and sliced his throat. Turning him around, the demon kneed his abdomen and again stabbed his chest. The next several dozen of strikes were made as Black Star seemingly disappeared and only scratches or deep cuts materialized on Kid's immobilized body. Some may leave terrible scars in the future.
All Kid can do was endure what he was receiving as the assassin was extremely agile. The pain rapidly spread throughout his body and black blood began to cover various parts. He started to think Black Star is a sadist as he cannot stop laughing whenever he creates a new scar on him. Once the latter was done with his small playtime, the son of death collapsed on his knees and hands as he faced the ground. Right next to him, the sadistic assassin was also on his knees. His stamina has failed on him and his body was nearly covered by his own blood. Yet, he was laughing. His psychotic laughter ringed the son of death's ears. In a way, it was music and the most annoying sound.
"You love the sight of this, don't you? The sight of a man you nearly killed."
"Haha, nearly? Nah, I actually wanted to. That feeling of inflicting pain is fascinating! Hehe, too bad I can't continue."
"Well I have to give him credit... he lasted for a few more until you decided to end it now..." Sparta said.
'Yep... but he's still weak. But he did survived my first line, I can tell that he's going to be a great warrior... for a mortal standard.'
"That's what I like to hear." The young shinigami got on his knees for the last time.
"Fuck you. I can't even get up and you still want to fight."
"No, I want to end this." Sliding his finger against his face, Kid gather some of his black blood and tossed it in the air.
"Dammit Kid... are you trying to kill him...? Having Black Blood and your Death Storm, you'll be able to annihilate him..."
'I don't give a damn.'
"Bloody Death Storm!" Hearing a loud boom sound, the beautiful blue sky was almost immediately covered with gloomy dark gray clouds. A flash of light appeared from within the clouds.
"The weather man was wrong once again," dumbly said Black Star.
The flash of light appeared again and out came down lightning. However, this kind of lighting was as black as a void. Furthermore, it came crashing down on the assassin who is now screaming in agony. Once he settled down, his entire body collapsed on the floor with his eyelids barely making a blink.
"Hm, as I suspected. You are weak. Surpassing God, my ass. You can't even withstand a bolt of energy. I'll see you in another life, if you would have any." Kid ventured for the final time towards the DWMA with little difficult. As if this entire fight was nothing but a flick to the forehead.
Kid walks away, even though the fight was really brutal. His deep and noticeable scars are on his back, chest, and abdomen. He has some scars that can be seen when you're close on his throat, cheek and left eye. Kid was panting a bit, but he have been worse. Really have been worse, this fight was like a mortal child's play thing. Kid chuckled a bit. He has to give credit to Black Star, he fought his best and all he can do. But he can never, ever can match the power of the Mighty God of Death, the Knight of War, the Prince of Darkatos.
"Heh... That's is one hell of a of a fight... for a mortal's entertainment." Kid says.
"Though I am curious...? How did Black Star survive the Bloody Death Storm...?" questioned Sparta.
"The reason is because I use at least half of my power to at least knock him out of the fight. If I used all my power, he could have been in a coma for at least 10 years or worst, dead." Kid explains.
"I see... Did you know that Black Star lost on purpose when you struck him with your last attack...?" said Sparta.
"I didn't know... and I don't care... at least he didn't go further or I'll really have to kill him." said Kid. The Shinigami kept walking until he saw something that horrified him. He saw the body of the headless Cerberus. He also saw three Kishin souls above the body. When Kid saw this, he was dumbstruck. He got on his knees and put covered his eyes by using his hands because of seeing the Kishin he helped... dead.
Kid started to have mix emotions. Sorrow, rage, hatred, despair, heartbroken, everything. Kid was about to burst to tears but he has to keep going and finish up what he has started.
"Kid... I'm sorry that Black Star and the others killed the Cerberus... But you need to keep going... Crona is locked up again and only you can free him..."
But what Sparta said, made it worst. Kid slowly puts his hands away from his eyes and then says the name of his foe.
"Black Star..."
"Kid...?"
"BLACK STAR!"
"Kid, what are you doing...?!"
Kid started to rush towards to the battlefield, where Kid sees Black Star on his knees the ground. Kid started to sees his opportunity, but then something happens. He started seeing Soul, Maka and the others around Black Star and trying to help him. The group started to argue of the situation of what transpired.
"What the hell has happen to your meister?!" Tsubaki shouts to the Thompson sisters. "How that hell should I know? Kid was avoiding us the whole day! We were trying to find him, but now we just saw him attacking Maka and Soul!" Liz adds up.
"Then how come you didn't check up on Kid on what was happening to him?!"
"I didn't see anything affecting Kid in any other way! I thought he was fine!"
"Yeah right, after the whole Paris Genocide, you didn't see how Kid was when he lost to White Star? Did you see how depressed and angered he is, losing to an assassin?!"
"If you know everything about him, then why didn't go with him?! If you knew that if this is going to happen, then you should have prevented it!"
The two continue to have their argument, which resulted to Patty crying, not wanting any of her friend to fight each other. I mean why wouldn't she? Kid almost killed Black Star. Maka started to comfort Patty and trying to calm down the two weapons. Soul and Black Star started to have a little talk about what just happen. "Damn it? Why everything has to fuck up today, Black Star." said Soul. "I don't know, everything just happens. We can't control the actions of others, if we did then we'll be worst than the Star Clan." said Black Star.
When seeing this, he has no chance of getting to him, but that Cerberus never wanted to die, he wanted to avenge it and by doing that... he's going to kill Black Star.
Kid started charging towards the group, alarming them of his presence. "Holy shit! He's back!" Soul shouted. Everyone turned towards where the direction of Soul's shouting was shifting to Kid. Everyone started to get ready, Soul turning to his weapon form and Maka wielding him. Tsubaki using one of her weapon forms. The Thompson sisters... well, did nothing. They couldn't thought of harming their meister, he has gave them everything. Kid started to stop on his feet and then started to look at his friends, well his former friends.
"Get the hell out of my way!" Kid roared.
"Not gonna happen!" Maka interject as she started to jump above him and started to slice his chest open. She thought with that attack, he'll go down, but it just made in worse. Kid started to glare at her and then send a fist to her stomach. She spat out blood and then fall to her knees. With one devastating punch, she was out cold.
Soul turn to his human form, but still having the scythe form on his right hand. "Damn you!" Soul started to dash towards Kid, and swing his scythe arm to the Shinigami, but Kid caught it by one hand. He then got closer to Soul's face and then whispers something to him.
"Death Inferno." Suddenly, flames started to appear on Soul's right arm, and started to burn him. With the agony he's feeling, Soul tried to grab his right arm trying to soothed the pain, but it didn't work. Kid decided to end his misery by another move that was quite familiar.
"Death Storm." A golden lightning bolt started to appear from the clouds and striking Soul, which cause him to fall easily. Kid then walks towards to Black Star, who's barely can stand. "What's wrong? Can't give me a fair fight?" said Black Star in a cocky tone. But what he soon realizes that Kid, is not going to push him back down. He saw the eyes of the Son of Death, his golden glares started to turn black. Kid looks so angry, so enraged, that he needs something to take his rage out, and he chose Black Star. He can sense his soul, starting to go berserk, it was way different compared to White Star and his soul. Kid's soul had some sort of essence... an essence of killing...
Later that Black Star realize that Kid is going to kill him. Tsubaki tries to charge towards to Kid, but didn't have any enough time to counter Kid's next attack.
"Death Tsunami." Kid summons a ball of water out of thin air from his palm, and throws it to her. She was hit, then the water started to enlarged and engulfed Tsubaki, making her stuck in a ball of water. The water was so large enough, it reach up to the neck of Tsubaki, while the rest is trap in the water.
She was trap and couldn't do anything, but watch as Kid was going to do next. Kid then approach towards Black Star then sucker punch him in the jaw. Black Star soon started to spit out blood, and then tries to land a punch by using his right fist on the Shinigami, but the Son of Death has caught it.
The next thing Kid was going to do, was unforeseen to Black Star. The Shinigami crush Black Star's right hand. The sounds of the crackling knuckles and fingers, it sounded very nauseating. "Rraaagghh!" Black Star screamed in pain due to his now crushed hand. Black Star tries to throw another punch and Kid grabbed it, and then uses his hand to push the elbow joints, causing to break and probably popped out an important fracture parts in the arm.
Black Star again started to scream in pain. The punishment Kid was giving, was unbearable. Kid then started to give punches on Black Star's body. Kid punches was so powerful, that he broke the rib cage and it punctured his lungs. The rib cage also punctured the heart as well, but not as badly. The Shinigami's punches was able to sore his liver, the intestines, the stomach, the pancreas, both of his kidneys, and the spleen.
Kid looks to be on a frenzy as he started to damage the vertebral column and the skull, which cause them to crack. This wasn't enough for Kid, as he kept pummeling him over and over again, a pool of blood started to form.
"Kid! Please stop! I beg of you!" Tsubaki yells as she started to drop tears constantly. Kid ignored it, and he began bashing Black Star's head, causing it to open up and release blood. Black Star was all bloodied, that he couldn't even speak. He has both of his arm and hands broken, everything inside of him began to sore, and he can barely even breathe.
"K-kid..." Black Star murmurs.
"Shut up. You wanted me to unleashed my true power, well this is barely a half of it." Kid started to raised his right fist, ready to give the final blow to the brain, which will end it all. "You killed an innocent Kishin... and now prepare to to meet your demise."
"Kid enough...! He's down...! He can't defend himself... you already show him that you can overwhelm him... stop it now...!" Sparta tries to make Kid to stop but he ignored every word he said. With that, Kid was ready for his last strike.
"BLACK STAR!" Tsubaki screams throughout her lungs, seeing of that Black Star was about to die. Kid was about to give his final attack, but then something happens. Kid stop his attack and waited for his upcoming thoughts. He then started to speak once more.
"I realized something... You are trying to excel the power of mortals and surpass anything like godhood... You're pathetic, weak, useless, irritating, for thinking you can defeat a god, you must've been crazy to think that. You can't even beat me, Lord Death, Asura, or any other gods as of now, since you are being brutally beaten by a God of Death! So as of now, I don't want you die yet, I want you to scream in agony from the pain I'll inflict on you for angering a god you can never surpass!" Kid statement with so much malice.
Kid started to lift Black Star by his shirt, so he can stand. Black Star was struggling to stay up, but to manage to keep himself balance. Kid then gave a right hook to Black Star's head, which blood started to spew out. The assassin still kept his balance, but then the Shinigami speared him to the ground hard. Black Star felt his spine, starting to break.
Kid then picked up Black Star again, but this time he roundhouse kick him in the same area of the head where he strike. It caused the bluenette to clash to a wall, where he use its surface to keep himself up, but it made Kid's attacks more easier. Kid kick him in the abdomen with so mush force, the wall collapse with Black Star in it. The assassin was buried with the rubble of the demolished wall but Kid is not ending this at all.
Kid pick him up again and started to hit the bridge of the assassin's nose, by merely one fist. Blood started to come out from Black Star's nose, and as he grasp his now broken nose, he left himself wide open. Kid throw many punches to Black Star's face so many times, that the assassin's blood was spilling out even more. Black Star couldn't feel a thing, with the many punches Kid was giving to him, and all the blood coming out of his nose, mouth, and his opened wound on his fore head. Kid then took an cruel turn and with all his might, he punch his fractured rib cage.
"Aaaarrraaaggghhh!" Black Star yell throughout his lungs, the more pain he has never felt in his life. He wanted it to stop, but he couldn't. He was too overwhelm with all the attacks, he couldn't even fight back. The rib cage began to punctured further his lungs and heart, which was excruciating painful. He wanted to die, to end the pain. But that's what a coward will do, he'll endure this pain.
Kid then uppercut Black Star's jaw, which splits in half. The pain the Star Clan assassin felt was horrible. Having his jaw broke, and causing more blood to come out. Kid looks to be enjoying it. Inflicting pain on others, he now understood Black Star's ideals. Black Star had enough and tries to elbowed him with his right arm, but Kid counters it and breaks his other elbow joint. Again Black Star, with so much pain, he can't even stand up. He got down to his knees, trying to fight the pain from his other broken arm.
Kid then started to smirk, as his eyes, his pupils, his sclera, turn black. Pure black. He then grabs Black Star's throat by using his left hand, to pick him up from the ground, then lifted him up. "Hehehe... C'mon! Where's Malum? Bring him here! I suddenly feel I wanted to have a play date with him! Or do you still think that you can endure this living hell? Trust me, I'm barely having any fun!" Kid quoted.
"K-kid... This isn't you... Why are you doing this...?" Black Star says in a weak tone.
"Hmm... Oh I don't know... Maybe you finally made me snap, and I want to inflict you with pain and agony. And now I see your ideals in sadistic thoughts, I love it!" Kid answers. Black Star can't believe what he's hearing. This is not Kid at all. Kid will never let himself have a thought of killing or sadistic ideals at all. Something happen to him, and he'll figured out why.
"Now... let's continued." Kid says which made Black Star confused. Kid puts his right hand on Black Star's cheek and says his next attack.
"Death Inferno..." Black Star's left side of his face, started to be lit on fire. Black Star screamed even more from the red flames, scorching every part of his face. The assassin's touched his face by his hands, even though the joints are broken, it slowly rises up the pain. Kid then kicked his left knee joint, which left a clean break. Black Star falls to the ground, now screaming even louder. Now he has his busted knee, he can't do but scream due to his every part of him is broken and his now scorched face. His flesh was burned really bad, that no one can recognize him.
Kid then pushes the mood even further, as he breaks his other knee joint. Black Star kept screaming louder and louder, that if anyone can hear it, would run away and try to avoid death. Black Star wanted this to end, he just wanted this tortured to end. "K-kid you already won... Why keep doing this, you already proven your point... Just please... stop! Something happen to you... I can't help you if you keep beating me to death... I'm your friend..."
The words of Black Star, finally made Kid stop and think he was doing. Why is he doing this? Sure he killed the Cerberus, but this is going too far. But something within him, wanted to keep going. He began to fought the urge, but it overwhelm him.
"Friends? Since when we were friends?"
"What...?"
"You were wash up from the Star Clan and Tsubaki found you and bring you here. All we have to do is to take down the Star Clan with you as our leader. But now that the Star Clan is destroyed, you are nothing but a simple ant, and I'm the boot."
The air between Black Star and Kid turned stiff.
"You killed, no, exterminate your entire clan and brought destruction towards Earth."
"Earth...?"
"You are a residents of Earth, not here in Darkatos. I'm your God and you are just a mortal, so go with you pathetic race and have a goddamn life in there instead here! This is for the citizens of Darkatos, and to all who pledge their faith to the Shinigamis!"
"Kid... What are you talking about...?"
"You will soon learn the truth Black Star, you lived in a much bigger universe than you think." With that said, Kid then cuts Black Star's throat, where blood began to spill out even more. Black Star lost so much blood, that he's barely alive. One more hit and he'll surely die. Kid sees that, and then tries to finish what he had started, strike the brain.
"Kid stop it! I'll do anything for you! Please! Don't kill Black Star!" Tsubaki sobs. She's trying to prevent Black Star's death, but she knows that Kid won't comply. Kid slowly raises his fist to end it. "See ya later fool, say hello to Maba in Brujano!" Kid says as he finally give his blow, but something happen.
For Black Star it was hope, but for Kid... it was despair.
Kid was shot multiple times around his body, which cause him to be surprise. He witness Liz holding Patty in weapon form, shooting many soul wavelength energy towards Kid. After many rounds of soul wavelengths to Kid, the Shinigami snap out of his insanity and looks around to see the destruction he has done. Kid then looks around and sees the beaten up Black Star and his broken body. It appears that Black Star seems unconscious, from the torture he suffer from him. Kid then looks at his hands all bloody. The blood of the assassin stained the clothing of the Shinigami.
Kid then looks at the beaten bodies of Maka and Soul. He then sees Tsubaki trapped in a ball of water and Liz, shedding tears and shaking from holding her sister in weapon form. Kid realize of what he has done, he then vanish the water that captured Tsubaki and then walks slowly to his weapon partners.
"Liz... Patty... I didn't mean to, I was filled with so much rage of what Black Star has done with the Cerberus. I just wanted to avenge it by punishing Black Star... but I was out of control. Please, trust me. I never intended on killing Black Star." Kid tries to talk it out with the Thompson Sisters.
"Shut up! Don't try to trick me!" Liz yells as more tears started to shed. This made Kid feel worst. What he has done is unforgivable, whatever he has done when he lost his insanity, can't be undone.
"Liz... Please listen I-" Kid was punch so hard in the stomach, that it cause him to crash to another wall. Kid looks up and sees Sid just kicked him to the wall he's currently at. He also has Naigus, in weapon form, in his right hand He also sees Stein carrying both an unconscious Maka and Soul over his shoulders, and Tsubaki slowly carrying an unconscious Black Star from his pool of blood. Tsubaki still shed some more tears from the brutal assault, Black Star just went through. She turns her head towards the Shinigami, with a nasty glare.
"You'll pay for this you bastard!" Tsubaki says.
Kid was in deep trouble, there's no way he can get out of this mess, and he'll soon face punishment for almost killing a student. But right now, he must fight. "Sid, Stein... I know what will happen next. Let Liz and Patty take Maka and Soul to the academy. Tsubaki, you'll do the same. This is gonna be a rough battle."
With Kid's words, Stein let the Thompson Sisters to help carry Maka and Soul to the DWMA, and Tsubaki doing what he's been told. He then uses his Shinigami's regeneration for a little bit, to remove any effects he received from his fight with Black Star. He then takes a deep breath and was ready for what happens next. Before the fight begins, Stein starts to talk with Kid before the clash begins.
"Now I have many questions to ask you Kid. Why did you free Crona? Why did you put Black Blood in your system? Why did you almost kill Black Star?"
"Jeez Stein, for Death's Intelligence you do say a lot of questions." Kid reply.
"Do you think this is a joke?" Stein retorted.
"No... I'm trying to save all of Darkatos and the eight worlds. You on the other hand, was keeping Crona imprisoned so you can do your research for Lord Death." Kid countered.
"What we are doing is none of your concerns, I'm asking you why did you do this?" Stein ask again.
"I already repeated myself once, but let me finish this fight and let meet continue my work." Kid says as he dashed and use all of his might to elbowed Stein in the gut. Stein was caught of surprise and started to clutch his stomach from the pain he's feeling. Stein couldn't believe that he's critically hit and is now weakened for now. Stein started to think that the Black Blood was giving him the strength to inflict damage to a high-class Meister. But he soon sees that even though he has Black Blood inside him, it couldn't be enough to able to weaken him, so something is going on.
"Stein!" Sid yells seeing Stein now hit really badly from Kid. He was in total shock seeing Stein totally injured by a mere student. Sid need to think fast, and so he charges straight towards Kid. Kid sees that and he thought he can eliminate him from the fight and so he repeats the same spell he did to Black Star.
"Bloody Death Storm."
The clouds began to darkened again, but instead of having black lightning in the mix, there was a huge black tornado, coming its way to the zombie. Sid sees that and there was no way he can counter. He then thought of something and he throws Naigus towards Kid and he got a direct hit. Kid staggers a bit, but he still continued his attack. Sid knows that he'll be out of the battle soon, so he accepts his fate and he got suck up to the storm. Sid was going around and around, that he passed out. Sid crash landed to a building, not too far from the battle.
Kid tries to remove the knife that impaled him in his ribs, but Naigus transform to her human form and caught Kid by holding his arms behind his back. Naigus appearance is a dark skin woman with a lean body, blue eyes, and dreadlocks. She's also wrapped around in bandages like that of a mummy. She's also wears green military pants and a white top.
"Stop this Kid, there's no way out for you." Naigus says.
"Mira Naigus, Weapon Goddess of Stealth, I can't believe that you still look fine throughout the years." Kid says.
"Aren't you too young to hit on women?" Naigus replied.
"Well, I'm 19,000 years old and well you are not that old to me." Kid says as he was able to remove Naigus. He throws her 10 feet away from the fight and then Kid says another spell.
"Death Storm." This time, it was regular lightning came and strike down at Naigus, knocking her out from the battle. This leaves Kid and Stein, hold is still holding his damaged stomach.
"Dammit... how did you defeat them so easily?" Stein ask.
"Trust me, if all of you had your memories back, I could've easily fall from the three of you. But it seems you don't recall you status from Darkatos." Kid answers.
"Darkatos? I do not know what that is but it's not concern me right now." Stein says as he tries to begin his turn, but his stomach is aching so much, he couldn't continue. "I guess you couldn't go any longer I might as well go on my way." Kid says as he tries to walk away, but something happen...
Stein started to walk towards Kid, trying to continue the fight, but right now he's in no condition to continue. He needs Spirit to be able to equally match Kid, but even if Spirit comes it won't be enough to take down Kid. Of course they can endured the battle with the Shinigami, but they would be exhausted and couldn't go on to fight.
"Tell me... if you know of what we're doing, then why are you destroying the effort for us to save the world from the Kishins?" Stein said, at least try to stall him until backup or until he recovers.
Kid turns and hears his question. "You're not saving the world. You're destroying it!" Kid stated, making Stein confused. "Exterminating the Kishin race, isn't that enough? We created a Genocide of the Star Clan, there's only a few Shinigamis in the world and now you are trying to kill all the Kishins in all the eight worlds. I'm not gonna let that happen."
"Kid... I don't know what are you talking about, but you need help. The Black Blood is making you delusional. You need to control the anger inside of you." Stein said.
Heh... Heheha... Hehehahahaha! Are you kidding me?! I can easily control the Black Blood, only a child will lose control with a cursed power within. People like Black Star and the other will succumb to this power and will rot from the inside and out. Only the God of Blood can control its power and that God, is Crona."
Stein was hearing many things and he's started to believe in what the young Shinigami is saying. But he really find it hard to explain for this, but with Kid able to control the Black Blood, there's no loop hole to that. Stein was now recovered from Kid's attack, but he wasn't sure he'll continue to fight or hear more of what Kid is saying.
Five minutes has past and there was silence in those minutes, Kid had lost interest with his talk with the former Death's Intelligence. "Now if you excuse me, I'll be restoring Darkatos and save our city." When Kid was about to walk away, something happens.
Kid couldn't move, he couldn't even do anything. "What the?!" Kid says, as he got to his knees, he then puts his arms around his back and lay his head down. Stein confused of all this, he's trying to figure out why Kid is doing this, then he heard a voice.
"That's enough my son..."
With both Kid and Stein widening their eyes, they see the elder Shinigami, coming out from a portal he created. The Shinigami appears to have a some sort of heart in his hands. When Kid looks closer at it, he's sees that it's no ordinary heart.
"God's Heart..." Kid says as his father, still holds the heart in his hands. "I'm sorry son, but what you did is a divine punishment than anyone has ever seen." said Lord Death. "Father please, listen to my words. Somebody has ruptured everything father, whoever have done it wanted to destroy Darkatos and its people." Everything what Kid says shocked the Shinigami. He remembers.
"I'm sorry..." Lord Death raises his hand, ready to struck his only son. "Father, what are you doing?!" Kid says, as fear made his blood cold. "This is for the fate of Darkatos..." Kid widened his eyes. He does remember about their homeworld, but why is he punishing Kid?
"Father wait, no-" Lord Death karate chop him in the head, causing an opening in the middle of his skull, blood began to come out from the open wound and floods all the facial features of the youngest Shinigami. "Father please! I-" Lord Death struck him once again, causing more blood to come out. "Father... I beg of you... listen to me!" With every word Kid tries to say, his father kept strucking him over 20 times to make his son quiet. He did. A pool of blood began to form, but it was way bigger than Black Star's own pool of blood. Kid's clothing is now soaked in the red liquid and it appears that more blood is kept coming out.
Lord Death encased God's Heart with gold, making the weapon shaped as a heart with golden veins and then teleport it to his Chamber and then carries Kid on his shoulders. "Stein, help out Sid and Naigus and bring them back to the DWMA. We're going to have an assembly." Lord Death stated. As Lord Death tries to leave and enter the portal to his room, stein begins to ask questions.
"Lord Death... Why did you use God's Heart to make Kid vulnerable? Why did you have to take out your only son? What is going on Lord Death? Do you have some affiliation with this 'Darkatos' thing?" Stein began to ask more questions til the Shinigami can answer.
"I'll tell you when the assembly is over... There will a lot of explanations after everything is settled." Lord Death says as he enters the portal and the portal itself disappeared. Stein was left alone with the conclusion of something is going on, and he needs to know why.
"I need to figure out about this mess, or there will be many questions that will left us with more problems."
Death's Room, One Hour Later
After the whole battle between the Shinigami and Assassin, Lord Death couldn't believe that this is happening. He had never even thought that his son can be so brutal within the fight and now for the consequences he was about to face, could break the Elder Shinigami's heart.
"Why Kid? Why you have to be the next one?" The Shinigami whispered himself. He decided for the punishment for he's going to give his son. After all, freeing a captive of the DWMA is going to be a divine punishment to whoever committed breaking the rules. As he kept thinking on how he's going to explain to his son, Spirit walk towards him, notifying him about something.
"Lord Death, we have Kid in our restraints. Do you want us to bring him in?" Spirit ask.
"Yes, that'll do. Also, bring everyone here." The Shinigami reply.
"The students?" Spirit question.
"Everyone."
Interrogation Room
Death the Kid is now locked up and sitting on a wooden chair in the Interrogation room to conceal him until futher orders of his father. Kid stared at the brick walls around him, sure he got overboard with the fight, but who can blame him? He finally has the lost memories of his past and now is trying to fix everything for Darkatos, if Darkatos is still even in existence. Kid grown bored of his imprisonment so he raise and open his hand to obtain something. A few minutes has past, then suddenly there was a loud vibrate sound.
It got closer and closer, until it was loud enough, a sword struck the brick wall behind Kid, and landed itself upon Kid's grasp. It was Sparta, the blade that help Kid to restore all of Darkatos. "What do you need Kid..." said Sparta.
"Just wanted to have someone to talk to." Kid reply.
"I see...How are your injuries..."
"Since I'm a Shinigami, I can heal perfectly. Black Star is a fool for purposely lose the fight, I couldn't have kill him if he kept holding back." said Kid.
"You are also holding back... a lot..."
"Well... if you got your memories back and somehow you have the strength and power from 10,000 years ago, having Black Blood in my veins, invulnerability, having perfect healing, senses, stamina, and is a god... you really need to hold back a lot against a mortal even if he has a gift, Star Vision. He thinks that he found my weakness... but I have none since I played a facade. But that bastard, he killed that Cerberus. He made me feel the emotion I truly never felt for the longest time..." Kid added.
"Rage..."
"Yeah..."
"Hmm... I see... No wonder Black Star's strikes didn't make you vulnerable when he hit most of your weak points..." said Sparta.
"Is because I didn't have my memories back then, as well I didn't recall my powers I had in Darkatos." Kid answer. "By the way, I haven't found out what happen when I went to Kishioku."
"Well touch the skull on the blade, and it will show you the aftermath..." Kid did what the blade had told him, and now he's trying to see of what happen in Kishioku.
Road of the Darkness
Kid and his squadron are riding their horses to go meet Sid Barrett, the Undead Gatekeeper of Darkatos, where he resides in the Dome of Darkatos, located on the Road of Darkness. The Road of Darkness appears to have many corrupted black souls that are aligned together to build some sort of bridge. Kid and his squadron finally on the start of the bridge and gallop there to meet the Undead Gatekeeper. The souls under them make creepy sounds and grumblings whenever they walk or ride on top of them.
"Kid, are we there yet? This road is creepy!" said Kim, as she felt nervous. "Don't worry Kim, as Leader of the squadron, I won't let anything harm or touch you." Kid flirted, making Kim blush.
"And I haven't forgotten about you, Jacqueline." The voice made the lantern to listen to him. "You're the fire that gave me the reason to fight for your protection." Jacqueline blushed as well in her lantern form. No one can't tell that she's blushing, but the flame she holds, increase exponentially, showing another way of her blushing.
"T-thank you, Kid." Jacqueline responded. Kid smirked at his ways, getting women to fall for him by his charm, but actually he just good at flirting.
"Kid, please stop flirting with Kim and Jacqueline! We're about to meet Sid and your busying seducing our teammates!" Ox yelled clearly telling the others that he's jealous
of Kid's acts. "Who's says that I'm flirting?" Kid replies.
Kim and Jacqueline continue to blush madly for Kid barely doing any effort to win their hearts. For a few minutes, they finally at the Dome of Darkatos, where the dome is colored with grayish cement walls, while on the roof is coated in silver. Inside the dome, there is a zombie, consisted in sliver armor with Death's mask imprinted on the chest. It appears he's still wearing the DWMA's combat pants, combat boots, and a black head band. His skin is in a bluish tone since he's a zombie, as welling having a a flat face and pupiless white eyes.
"Kid, what business do you have with the Dome of Darkatos?" Sid answers as Kid and his squadron walks towards him, where he stands on the stairs, where the pedestal is at. The top of pedestal appears to have some symbols on top of it, which is eight circles connected via a line through each circle.
"Sid, I need you to open a gate to Kishioku." Kid said.
"Does your father know of your departure?" ask the Undead Gatekeeper.
"No... I making this visit a little confrontation with the Kishin King." Kid stated.
"Hmm... and if Lord Death knows about your actions, this will lead to him to give you punishment for what you have done." Sid warned.
"Well I don't give a damn. Those Kishin broken the oath with my father, and if they continue their assault towards Darkatos, then I'll show them punishment for their actions..." Kid said, having some form of malice within his tone. Sid thought about it, and sees that Kid is truly angry with the Kishins for their actions. There was nothing for him to do, but let him continue his path.
"Very well then," Sid put his right hand at the pedestal and dilated the circles around, where an arrow appeared on the center of the pedestal. Kid and his squadron look towards at the silver gate, where a vortex is open, leading to Kishioku, the homeworld of the Kishins.
Kid turns to his squadron and begins to inform them about entering Kishioku.
"Comrades... I need your weapons turn to their normal forms. I don't want the Kishins to think that we're attacking already." Kid explained.
As what Kid said, the weapons turn their physical forms. Jacqueline appears to have her long, dark-brown hair into a bun with twintails over her shoulders, and appears to have the exact same attire as Kim, minus the red cape, and she's also wears black leggings. She's the Weapon Goddess of Burning Flames, the Light of Kid's Squadron.
Kilik's weapons, Fire and Thunder also turned into their physical forms as well. The twin has a dark skin complexion and facial features consisting of large blue eyes, rosy cheeks and mid-length blonde hair. Their attires only consisted of silver chestplates, black T-shirts, and red pants. To tell the differences of which is which, the one with the orange cap is Fire, the brother, and the one with the yellow cap is Thunder, the sister. Both share the title of Weapon deities of Fire and Lighting, The Power of Kid's Squadron.
Finally, Ox's weapon, Havar D. Eclair, turn to his physical form, and his attire appears to have only a silver chestplate imprinted of a skull and red pants. He also added the chains around his waist, making his opponents a little underestimated. He also has a jaw-length, brown hair that is tied up in a spiky ponytail. His most prominent feature is that he wears a red visor. He's the Weapon God of Electricity, the Storm of Kid's Squadron.
"Alright, are we ready to venture forth to the homeworld of the Kishins?" Kid ask his whole squadron and reply by nodding their heads. As they are preparing for their trip, Kid jumps to the portal, ready to bring the onslaught to those threatens Darkatos.
The Lifeless Forest of Kishioku
Kid and his squadron enter to the world of Kishioku, but they appear to be in the wrong place. It appears they are in the Lifeless Forest, where the trees and anything that involves nature, are dying and there's little Kishin inhabitants sprawling around their arena. Kid looks around, being disgusted by the Kishin's habits. "Ugh, These Kishins lived in a world of disaster and garbage."
"Well brother it just part of Kishioku, there's still parts of this world that aren't "disgusting" as you use in your terms." said Asura.
"I hope so, because if not, then these Kishins are scum." Kid says with a hint of hatred and malice within him. His squadron began to worry about Kid, since now he's been acting strange. He somehow has some hatred towards the Kishins, but they done nothing to him at all.
"Kid, are you okay?" ask Kim. Kid turns around to look at her. "Of course, why?" Kid answers. "Well, you seem that you really hate the Kishins that much. So did you have some history with them?"
"Yeah... You have been making us worried. Did the Kishin did something horrible that made you hate them with all your heart?" Jacqueline began to speak as she walks towards to Kid and Kim.
"I agreed. As your Strategist, I need to know what is wrong with our teammates so we can have no flaws within our battles." Ox said as his weapon, Havar nodded to show his agreement with his meister.
"Yeah man, I mean I understand that a Shinigami carried many secrets, but since you keep dissing about the Kishins and how they live, I think you have some grudge with them." Kilik said, getting his two weapons to join on his argument. Asura didn't talk or anything since he knows why his brother has so much hatred with the Kishins.
"Yeah, I would like to also know." Kid and his squadron turn around and were shock to see who spoken up previously. It appears that a male, who is relatively tall and slender in stature, whose facial features are largely obscured by his medium-length, dark, shaggy hair and stylishly framed glasses. His fringe of hair appears to conceal his left eye, hiding something from others to see his pupil. His attire consists of a full set of medieval armor except for the helmet. His armor only has the color black, every part of his armory is black, to show others that he prefer this kind of color on any attire. He also has a skull shaped imprinted on his chest plate to show Kid and his squadron that he's from Darkatos. He also carries a elegantly crafted and slender great sword that features a solid black blade, surrounded in its entirety by a narrow white cutting-edge. His name is Akane Hoshi, the mortal who resides in Arkotos.
"Akane, what are you doing here?" Kid demanded.
"Well Lord Death sent us to speak with the Kishin King and make another negotiation with him. But now I stumbled upon his heir and his team." Akane answer.
"Damn... Father still thinks he can make everything clear with the Kishins... I pity him." Kid reply. Whatever Kid says, it's making everyone feel very worry and concern on what's happening to Kid, except Asura since he knows everything within Kid's thoughts.
"Fine, I'll tell you while we walk to our destination." Kid answers, receiving all the answers of everyone is a nod. While they're walking to the forest, Kid explains of his ideas of demolishing the whole Kishin race. "Many years ago, My father have been in conflict with the Kishins for the longest time. It lasted for 12 decades and my father tried everything to negotiate with them. His army and generations of Meisters and Weapons join him in any peril events. They were brave for following along side with my father, and most of them have lost their lives."
The squadrons except Asura were surprise about the deaths of many Lord Death's allies, they knew about the war with Darkatos and Kishioku, but never thought that the war was really that bad. "My father knew that the Kishins will never win throughout the war, but he kept continuing so that the Kishins can unite in their terms. But it turns out, he made a dire mistake."
The people in the group started to widening their eyes, waiting for Kid to reply on what the Kishins did. "The Kishins appear to have some sort of weapon called The Box of Thousand Demons. A box that contain the many evils and malice of everyone in all of the eight worlds. That much power can eliminate all life on one world, and these scum use it on Earth. My father seen of what they have done, and he came with his army to slaughter the many that participate in this plan. Many lives were lost, but my father was able to steal the box and put it in his chamber, but now these monsters have broken in the chamber and were about to steal it back!"
Kid started to get angry, but he soothed it by thinking of what his squadron will think of him in his anger state. Kid took a deep breath, and kept calm so he can confront with the Kishin King. Asura began to spoke about his ideal of Kid's actions. "Brother, I understand you want to take them down, but remember that have have strong magic power and have some of the best sorcerers in their world."
"Well, we have you. You are the God of Fear, and also learn Kishin sorcery. Kilik has both Fire and Thunder, with both the fire power we can defeat their forces. Ox can strategize every situation so we can advance through the battlefield. Also we have Kim, a witch with many knowledge of all magic. With you and Kim in our side, we can destroy them." Kid retorted.
"There it is!" Kilik shouted to get everyone's attention to see where he's pointing at. They made it. There lies a Kingdom with many demolished buildings, yet a society of Kishins bloomed. As the moonlight shines the ruins, many of the Kishins seemed to enjoy their lives, the children playing around, the neighbors having their usual conversation, hell everything there seem to be normal. Kid stops for a moment and started to reflect on what he saw. The many citizens of Kishioku looked so peaceful in the ruins of their civilization, and they don't act like in the stories or tales about them.
Kid soon started to think of what he said, this is not of what he had thought, but he knew that somewhere in this world that there's evil lurking around. This is the world where despair and malice are born, and there's no one that can save this world from its destruction. Kid kept thinking more and more, until his brother spoke to him.
"Is everything alright, brother?" Asura words was able to snap the Shinigami from his trance. "Y-yeah... but I'm so confused. If there citizens are peaceful and merry, then why the Kishin King Afreet would send his monsters to Darkatos?" Kid started to puzzled on that idea, and never find the solution.
"Maybe that someone is putting the blame to all the Kishins. That's the only good answer I could come up." said Asura. "Even that it is true, there's no denial that the intruders are Kishins and is either they are following the orders of Afreet, or they're just doing it for fun." Kid answers. The team then started to get confuse on what is the controversial event in Lord Death's Chamber.
"So wait, we're here in Kishioku for no reason?" ask Kim. "No. There must be a reason for why the Kishins came over to our homeworld. Asura, can you send us to Afreet's Throne?" said Kid.
"With pleasure." With that, Asura began to create a circle around the whole group, until mostly all of Kid's Squadron began to give out their concerns. "Wait, wait, wait, wait! Before we go see the Kishin King himself, does anyone in the group has any concerns of this?" Ox shouts out before everyone goes to Afreet.
"For me, no. I'm here because of Lord Death's orders. Clay and I won't regret the decisions for this, it will actually make us easier having backup in case they decided to being their assault on us." Akane replied while holding his partner.
"To be honest, No way! Having fought monsters, kishins, golems, it already gave me many tales of my heroism. But Kid is the only reason of why I'm here, and why those tales are made. Also, I wouldn't having a tale of the Heroic Kilik and his gang versus the Kishin King and his beasts!" Kilik riposte, having his weapons, Fire and Thunder to nod in his ideals.
"Heroic is a term use for a soldier who have fought in a war, 70 years ago." Kim remarked, getting Kilik little angry. "Also, if it wasn't for Kid, I would've still rot in Brujano and probably become you guys' greatest adversary. So I'm indebted to Kid, and I will fight for him and his glory!" Kim announced.
"I agree with my partner. Sure she doesn't focus on the serious matter, but I follow her any other way. If she goes, I go. Besides, Kid will never let any one of us get harm." Jacqueline answer.
After anyone gave an answer except for Kid and Asura, it appears that no one has no objections of meeting with the Kishin King, Afreet. "Looks like everyone is not a coward, except you." Havar said, making Ox irritated.
"S-shut up!" After everyone had a chuckle, Asura chanted a teleportation spell, getting everyone to Afreet.
The Catacombs of the Kishin King Afreet
Kid and the rest of the squadron, has teleported to the throne of the Kishin King but suddenly goes a little eerie to the group. It appears they teleported to the catacombs of some sort, every part in the underground cemetery is barely any moonlight. The surroundings in this place seems to be filled with skulls and bones. There are so many, that you can't tell where you are, sure there are passageways but it appears there randomly everywhere in the one place. You could find one in your left, one in the right, one in the corner, one on the bottom, one on the top, hell this place could make you lose your sanity. The many bones filled mostly in this section of the catacombs, which is kinda creepy. The many rotting flesh still attach to the many bone fragments, seeing maggots chewing through their way to get the juicy part of the meat. The flies hovering over the shattered bones, and you could hear growling in the passageways in this section, which kinda makes you stay in one place.
"Eeek! There are maggots on the flesh of those skulls!" Kim and Jacqueline ran towards and wrapped around themselves with Kid's strong arms. Kid didn't mind if Kim and Jacqueline attaching themselves to his arms, to be honest, he would coward in fear being trap in the catacombs in Kishioku.
"Relax girls, there's no need to be afraid. Asura can protect you since he experience with this sort of thing." Kid said as he turned his attention to Asura. The older Shinigami raises his hand and tries to sense any known energy around the catacombs.
"We'll be safe as of now." Asura says.
"Wait, how do we know if we're okay for now?" ask Ox.
"I tried to sense any known soul essence and it appears that there is a few, but won't come because of us Shinigamis." Asura explained.
"So if they're here and didn't want to attack us, what will happen if they take us by surprise?" Akane asks.
"No, the Kishins won't come to us since in the passageways, its complete darkness and there's no way you can find your way around these walls. Kishins on the other hand, have this ability called "Soul Search", where they can locate their prey into the pure darkness or anywhere. But since, there's a Shinigamis and a couple of Meisters and Weapons, and a Witch Soul in these catacombs, they're smart to not get themselves killed." With that, everyone was now relieved about this situation.
"So, where is the Kishin King?" Havar ask.
"He's behind us." Asura's answer cause a chill within the bones of Kid's squadron, and made them turn around to see three large eyes. The Kishin King has no form, but all they could see is a large shadow in shape of a circle, with three large eyes.
"..."
"Uhh... Why isn't he talking?" Kilik questions.
Asura and Kid stayed silent for a while, waiting until Afreet speaks up. The squadron and Akane waited for the three to speak, but it seems they stay quiet for ten minutes. Akane couldn't wait and waste time so he decided to break the silence.
"Kishin King Afreet, I, Akane Hoshi of Arkotos, hereby to ask of your reasoning of your assault on Darkatos." The Kishin King didn't reply to Akane, probably because of him still holding Clay Sizemore within his right hand.
"He won't because he only address to us Shinigamis" Kid says. With comment, the Kishin King started to chuckle, making his laugh echoing throughout the catacombs. "Well, well, well... It appears I have two heirs to the throne in my domain. What brings you and your friends here." The Kishin King Afreet smiles, having his grin wide to show the group, his long bloodied fangs.
"Are you declaring war with us Kishin?!" Kid choices of words made Afreet a little confuse. "Oh? And why do you proclaim that I want to battle with Lord Death once more?" The Kishin King reply.
"You damn know of your actions! You send three of your beast to the chambers to retrieve the Box of Thousand Demons!" Kid yelled trying to get his actions to the Kishin King's head. His team, minus Asura, are worried if their leader somehow provoked the king, but Afreet started to laugh.
"Muhahahaha! Buhahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I see you found my betrayers." Afreet says. "What?" Kid was now shock of Afreet's answer. He didn't plan out the assault on Darkatos. He was innocent. But how could this be?
"Explain yourself!" Kid demanded.
"Well for starters, I found three of my soldiers planning out something without my consults. I brought them to my catacombs and have them explain themselves. They said that they're serving the new Kishin King and that they plan out to take me out. I simply banished them to the Pits of Ogoma, and wait til their king will retaliate. I waited for days and I thought it was a bluff. But now you told me that you found my worthless soldiers in your world! Ha! I guess there is a Kishin that wants my throne." Afreet explains.
"So you have information that you didn't mind telling our father?" Asura intervenes.
"Lord Death has taken everything away from me! I couldn't risk losing my power to him, I needed to wait and regain my strength once more and continue my conquest!"
"That's all I needed to hear." Kid then jumps towards and punches the Kishin King's middle eye, blinding and making him stunned for a while. "Kid! What the hell!" Asura yelled as the many Kishins started to run, crawl, climb their way to their ruler. The Kishins appearance was rather disturbing, due to their bodies resembling a corpse with missing limbs and having loud screams. The group was a little freaked out at first, but then jumped to the action.
"Alright guys! Lets brawl!" Kilik cries as he began pummeling three Kishins with only one hit, thanks to Fire and Thunder transform into their weapon forms. Havar did the same as the twins as he turn to a gold lightning spear, landing himself on Ox's hands. "Face the wrath of the Amazing Royal Thunder!" Ox says as he strikes the many electric volts to his enemies.
"Ox you're not amazing. I would describe that term to a person who wears spandex, and has some sort of radioactive abilities." Kid says as he kept doing his assault to the Kishin King. After everyone had their chuckles out and Ox getting annoyed, Kim then uses one of her enchantments. "Est Illustratio!" A pink energy then soon spreads to the team, and suddenly they even got more stronger. She then gets Jacqueline to turn to her weapon form, and then raises her up to the coming Kishins. "Ready Jacqueline," Kim ask her partner
"Right!" Jacqueline agrees, and both the Weapon and Meister started to store up power and was ready to release their combined strength. "Volantern!" Kim and Jacqueline created a larger explosion, which cause significant destructive concussive force and ignited all the Kishins that tried to slew the Witch and Lantern.
"Oh hell yeah! Nice one Kim!" Kilik shout out, but then a Kishin strikes him with its kick in the face, which cause him to spin in the air and then landed on floor hard. Kilik then was fazed and sees that the same Kishin leap towards him for a finishing blow. "Oh shit!" Kilik then fends himself by covering himself with his arms and waited for the attack to be over. A few minutes has pass and Kilik was confused on what happen.
He drop his arms and sees the Kishin just been impaled by Clay Sizemore, in weapon form, being wielded by Akane Hoshi. "Ha! Save your ass!" Akane boasted. He then gives Kilik a hand and helps him get up. "Nobody but you and me, didn't see any of that." Kilik claimed.
"I did." Clay answers. Then Kilik just face palmed himself forgetting about Clay. After that awkward moment, they began to help out the others. Kilik and Akane kept decimating the rising forces, Kim and Asura make many enchantment and spells, Ox handling the situation, and Kid handling the Kishin king himself. "Guys! if we kept going like this, we can manage to get out of here, but we need enough time for Asura to cast a spell!" Ox exclaims.
"Anima Break!" Kim cast another enchantment, causing the remaining Kishins to be weaken. A pink energy link started to form from the Kishins to Asura, giving him more power and magic to teleport everyone out of here. "Thanks!" Asura acknowledge. He then cast a spell, a large blood red circle appears below the squadrons feet. "Kid, it's time!" Asura said.
"No! I must get more answers! Afreet must pay for this!" Kid yells
"I didn't said we're leaving the battle." Asura answer. With that comment making
everyone confused, Kid then realized then he smirks. "Do it!" Kid demands.
"Valtarus Ekamus!"
Asura then cast his spell and then suddenly, their appears to be seven figures appearing next to the squadron. When the circle vanish, The seven figures appear to be the seven Death Scythes, Azusa, Marie, Justin, Tsar, Dengu, Jinn, and Tezca. "What?!
Asura, why did you summon them?!" Akane yells.
"So I could let loose." Asura stated. "Death Scythes! There are Kishins in the catacombs! I need you to take everyone out of the here!" The Death Scythes are confuse at first, but hearing the groans and roars of the Kishins, they acted quick. "How are we suppose to get out of here?" Marie says as she tries to get away from the Kishins.
Asura then started to cast another spell, but he first warned everyone before performing it. "Everyone I want you to cover your ears! Now!" As everyone started to comply and having the squadron weapons to tranform to their normal form, Asura then cast his spell. "Symra Anuo Hado Drakar!" Asura shots out red smoke from his magic circle from his right hand. The smoke started to form a large skull and then started to scream in the catacombs. The Kishin started to act weird when hearing the red smoke, most of them started to run around in circles, cornering themselves in the corners, some beat themselves to death and started to feast on their flesh. The Death Scythes and the squadron are horrified of what they're seeing. The carnage, the onslaught... it was... scary, no... horrible.
"Everyone, follow the skull! Keep your ears cover until you found a way out!" Asura says, as the skull started to enter one of the passageways of the catacombs. As the group follow the skull's path, Asura then turn to his brother and sees that Kid has made slashes on the shadow of the Kishin King. Kid soon stops and turns to his brother.
"What's the reason you summon the Death Scythes again?"
"Because of more fire power for later." Asura and Kid then turn to the weaken Kishin King, but he soons regenerated his wounds and was good as new. "Damn, the Shinigamis are fighting against a Kishin who has done nothing to you yet..."
"Tell me, why you don't want Darkatos to fall by someone but you?" Kid question.
"I don't want the false king to defeat Lord Death. After all the mess he has done, I must keep my homeworld safe from others and I'll do it by conquering all the other seven worlds! But first, I want you to meet my pet." Afreet says as he disappear. Kid and Asura heard growls from beneath, and they sense that it's way more powerful than both of them combine.
"Oh shit." Kid and Asura said.
Outside of the Catacombs
The skull finally came out of the catacombs and disappears while the others, still covering their ears, found themselves to the other Lifeless Forest. The group soon catch their breath, and check around to see if there aren't many Kishins in the moment.
"*Huff* *Huff* H-has everyone made it out?" Marie announce and sees that everyone raising their hands, signaling that everyone got out. "Alright. Now that's settle, explain yourself why you went to Kishioku, when we already had Akane and Clay to go?" Azusa demanded an answer. Kim stood up and explains everything. "Kid said that we should go to Kishioku and find the answer ourselves. We manage to find information from the king, but I beg of you, please don't punish Kid. He did this because he want to protect his homeworld!"
Kim then gets on her knees and begged them to not to punish Kid. "He disobeyed our king, and cause of that, he must be punish." Tsar then speaks.
"You don't know the burning fire within Kid. He will do this to every world if they have conflict with our homeworld's enemies!" Jacqueline spoke after.
"That may be true, but this act will lead to give consequences to Darkatos." Justin stated.
"That is also true, but Kid will fight for Darkatos, and we will with him!" Kilik exclaims, having his twin weapons to agree.
"But that will lead to a war. This could cost us and Darkatos very deeply." Marie added.
"Kid will always find a way. Sure he's the Knight of War and is very good with it, but he'll always find a way for Darkatos to survive." Ox informed.
"Either way, he still needs to be punish." Azusa stated.
"Then I guess that you must punish all of us. Kid treats us like family, and he'll do the same to you." Havar says.
Having no one to counter of Kid's squadron words, Azusa turns to the other three Death Scythes to reply but they didn't because they knew that what Kid did is right. She then ask Akane and Clay for their opinion. "What about you Akane? Clay?"
"To be honest, I'm glad that they came. The Kishin King didn't spoke to us, only to Kid and Asura. Probably is because they're Shinigamis and I'm a mortal" Akane explains. "Yeah, and we're Lord Death's greatest warriors!" said Clay, wearing the exact attire as his partner, but white.
Azusa was about to comment on their reply, they saw a red magic circle to form in front of them. Asura appeared from the circle, having a large claw marks on his chest and back, which lead a lot of blood to exit to the open wounds. Asura can barely stand, so he's using his right knee to keep himself up.
"*Cough* *cough* *cough* Guys... get out of here! Kid and I will handle this!" Asura holler. Everyone started to run towards Asura, to see if they can do anything to help him. Asura sees the many concerns on his comrades, and try to convince them to go. "Go! Get out of here! This isn't safe anymore!"
"Hell no! You are part of our team! If your fighting the King, then so am I!" Kilik states as he connects both his fist, ready for combat. Just then, the group heard a large roar and can see something flung into the sky. When they have the chance to see who it is, they're shocked to see Kid with bite and claw marks all over his body. Kid crash landed near the group, coughing up blood and stain his armor.
"What are you guys doing here? Run!" Kid says as he began to cough up more blood.
They heard the roar once again, but this time they can feel the shock wave, every time the creature takes a step. The creature erupted from the catacombs, and began to stare at the body of Kid, then towards the group. The beast is over 75 meters tall, having a head of a Naut, having it looked like it has a skull-shaped mask, but its is actual face. it has a pale complexion, having large horns which are covered in blood, probably belong to either Kid or Asura. His glowing yellow eyes started to petrified Kid's Squadron, but its physiology was much more terrifying than its face. Its neck is long like the body of the Hoggormur, which has ragged fabric wrapped around it. his body look like Krokodila, with its spikes as scales, and its tail taken shape of a large and broad axe. Its scales appeared to be some sort of grayish green color, but having decaying bodies and bones stuck within its spikes. It also has black wings that resemble that of a Kylfu, but the wings appear it have tear in its skin and looks boney. The beast roared and the Squadron came to the realization of that this creature are part of Kishioku wild life, and are known to be dangerous when being threaten or annoyed by anything. But these creatures are known to be King Afreet favorite beast for his reign... the Sal Borda.
"Holy shit! We're screw!" Kilik yells out of his lungs.
"What happen with "fighting the king" thing." Kim remarked.
"But that's not the king, that's a Sal Borda! The most dangerous beast within King Afreet's kingdom! Last time when Darkatos raided King Afreet's camps, it took 30 squadrons to take down one of them!" Kilik replied.
The Sal Borda began to stare at the group, and gave them a wicked smile, showing its bloody fangs. Kim soon sees that the blood came from Kid and Asura. "Quick, somebody take Kid and Asura to safety! I can heal them, so let the Death Scythes handle with the Sal Borda!" Kim commanded, which made Jacqueline and Akane helped carried the Shinigamis to safety, while Kim following them behind.
"Ox! Kilik! Help out the Death Scythes!"
"What?! But it's a Sal Borda! We'll never gonna defeat that!" Kilik replied to Kim's orders. "Doesn't matter! Do it, or we'll all die!" Kim responded.
Kilik and Ox look back at the Sal Borda, trying to feast on the Death Scythes, but Death's Weapons keep fending it off, trying to slay the beast. Kilik then looks at Ox. "Are we gonna do this?"
"We have to... Kid and Asura are injured, and the Death Scythes don't have their Meisters with them to kill the Sal Borda." Ox informed, seeing that the situation could be worse if Death's Weapons fall from battle. Kilik gulped then charged towards the Sal Borda.
"Lightning Flash!" Kilik shouts as he leaps into the air, with his left hand charged with electrical magic, thanks to Thunder, he tries to stun the Sal Borda so that the Death Scythes can have a fighting chance. The lightning attack hit the Sal Borda, but it did nothing as the Sal Borda began to shake its head, signaling that the attack was like dirt.
"What?! But I've put all my strength into that attack?!" Kilik said.
"Hmm, probably it has Lightning Resistance? Either way, we can still strike it again, but this time we have to hit it in his scales. My calculations tells me that the scales protects itself from brute strength, so if we were to able make an opening, the Sal Borda will be weaken and the Death Scythes will finish it off." Ox started to sprint towards the Sal Borda, dodging its coming gust attacks and slashes from its claws. Ox was able to get on its tail, then sprinted towards to were the heart suppose to be located.
"Alright, here goes nothing!" Ox then jabs Havar in his Weapon form into the armored body of the Sal Borda, and began to call out his attack. "Lightning King!" The spear emitted an lightning shock to the Sal Borda, but then Ox and Havar sees that the Sal Borda is barely feeling any sudden sensations of pain. The Sal Borda turn on its back, seeing Ox trying to kill it. The Sal Borda suddenly enlarges his spikes on it back, impaling Ox's body, but the most fatal pierce was at his chest.
"Ahhh!" Ox cried out in pain, started to fall to the ground hard. Kilik sees it, and was able to rescue him before he fall to the cold ground. "Ox! Havar, help!" Havar was able to convert to his normal form and run towards his Meister. "Ox! Ox!" Havar kept frantically shaking Ox to get a reply from him. Luckily, Ox is still breathing, but barely survived the attack from the Sal Borda. "Kim! Ox need medical attention! Kim!" Kilik shouts, as he kept worrying about his friend's life, potentially on the line.
"Hold on! I'm trying to get Kid and Asura healed up! Bring Ox to me, hurry!" Kim says as she panting. Kim is trying to heal the Shinigamis from the infections the bite and slashes the Sal Borda gave them. Turns out the infection seems too strong to be heal, it must take a lot of strength to at least weaken it. Jacqueline looks in worry, as Akane and Clay are planning whether on to find an escape from the Sal Borda, or admit their fate. Kim kept pushing herself harder and harder, trying to put all of her best to prove herself that she can be a help to Kid and Asura. Kim got to her knees, all tired out. Kid stood up and patted Kim on top of her head. He bends down so he can see Kim's face. "Kim, you did all you can. I'm so glad that I have a caring member in my squadron and I'm thankful to have met you. Please heal up Ox, he's a valuable member of our squadron. Everyone is, and so are you. Asura and I will finish what we've started." Kim blushed as Kid stood up and look back at his brother, seeing that he's ready for battle.
Kid and Asura runs towards the Death Scythes while passing by Havar and Kilik, carrying Ox. "Kid! Asura! The Sal Borda is way out of our league! It's gonna be harder to take it down with just the two of you!" Kilik yells.
"Heh, maybe. But if we have the right weapons, this bastard will fall easily." Kid reply and then search for formidable weapons to take down the Sal Borda. "Marie, Azusa! Turn into your weapon forms and let us wield you!" Kid shouts.
"What, are you delusional? Death's Weapons can only be wield by Death's Meisters, You guys are just Shinigamis who haven't reach your potential yet! Just get your squadron out of here and call for backup!" Azusa commanded as she tried to aimed her arm, which formed into a gun-bow, to the Sal Borda's weak points.
"But Azusa, there's no way you can survive handling the Sal Borda without your partners. We're strong enough to at least use your powers to weaken it, but you must transform." Asura said.
"No! we can't risk your safety because of us. Please get help, while we handle this." Azusa reply.
"Dammit just please, listen to us!" Asura yelled, surprising every Death Scythes and his squadron. "My brother and I are Shinigamis. We are suppose to protect our people and our allies. That is what we are doing, but you need to trust us. Please..." With Asura's attempt to get a confirmation with Azusa, she reluctantly agreed and turn into her weapon form, transporting herself into Asura's hands.
With Azusa, She knew that it won't work because Asura doesn't have enough power to wield a Death Scythe, but something happen. She felt a surge of power flowing through her, and started to feel the same sensation when Lord Death uses her weapon form. She felt... powerful.
She felt... godly.
"Azusa are you ready!" Azusa snapped back into reality when Asura called her.
"Yes."
"Alright, here goes!" Asura began to put all of his to Azusa, and when she felt a surge of power within her, she was in amazement of how much power the Son of Death can carry. Asura pointed the gun-bow at the heart of the Sal Borda in a far distance.
"Death's Kill Shot!" Asura pulled the trigger and an arrow, covered in death essence and went through the Sal Borda. Everyone was shocked, beside Kid, to see that Asura was able to harm and potentially kill the Sal Borda. Everyone started to look at the Sal Borda, starting to fall on its all fours, and hunging his neck. The wound where it had, started to spew out blood, and that the shell it was supposed to protect it from it, started to crack little by little. "Now Kid!" Asura yells out.
"Alright! Marie lets go!" Kid calls out the other Death Scythe.
"Right!" As Marie transform into a hammer, Kid grabs a hold of her, and started to pour every power he has, into Marie. With the sudden energy from the Shinigami, Kid lets out a most devastating attack.
"Death's Internal Pulverization!" Kid raised Marie in the air, then swung her down to cause many lighting bolts to the Sal Borda. With every lighting bolt hit, the Sal Borda felt excruciating pain and starting to lose every inch of breath every time a bolt struck it. In the finale, one huge lighting bolt struck the Sal Borda with so much power, that the monster turn nothing but ashes. Everyone was dumbfounded as the two Shinigami brothers are able to kill the Sal Borda with just two attacks. Azusa and Marie reverted back to their normal forms as they too, were shocked from the power the sons of Death.
The two brothers high five each other, from a tough battle from the monster. "Well then, now that we killed the Sal Borda, I guess we can call it quits and return back to Darkatos." said Kid as he stretches his arms.
"I guess, but what about King Afreet?" question his brother.
"I'm pretty sure that Kishin scum has learn on who he's up against." Kid scoffs as he walk towards the rest of the group, still shocked of what just happen.
"Now... lets go back home." Kid said as we walk towards to where they came from. But the battle was far from over. as soon they started to ease up, an army of corpses roses from the ground and stare at the intruders. Just then, they hear a sinister laugh coming behind them and see it was the king.
"Heheh, great work Death Gods. Though I've must admit, defeating a Sal Borda with the help of two Death Scythes was incredible. But, can you match against my army?"
"To hell with you, Afreet! We'll stand and fight until we can't no longer!" Kid yells, showing his vigor for battle.
"What? But brother, Ox is injured. We must retreat, there's no shame in running away." said Asura. "Damn, well I guess the rest of you should go and I'll fight them all." Kid reply.
"Dammit Kid, listen to me! We're outmatch and I think we don't have must strength left to continue fighting. Lets go!" Asura is trying to convince his brother to escape with so they can live another day. Kid then stares at his brother then his teammates. Ox is bleeding really badly so he can be able to move without the assistance of Havar. Kilik and his partners are hesitating a bit, knowing that they can barely withstand fighting off the kishins. Kim and Jacqueline look at him with pleading eyes, trying to make him see that they could potentially die if they continue. Kid then takes a breath and admits defeat.
"Fine then, Sid! Take us back home!" With just a shout, a beam of dark light erupted from the clouds of Kishioku. It then landed on the Darkatonians and the Death Scythes, teleporting them back to their world.
The Kishin King then chuckles, seeing their enemies cowardice just from the many numbers of his army. "Hehehe, well then. I'll be seeing you... the suppose King of the Kishins."
The Dome of Darkatos
The gang and the Death Weapons came back, and as soon as they came out from the gates, trouble was already spewing. Lord Death stood next to Sid, with stern eyes filled with anger. He then turn his attention to an injured Ox. "Kim, Jacqueline, Havar, Kilik, Fire and Thunder. Take Ox to the healing chamber now, before it's too late!" The elder shinigami commanded. As the members of Kid's Squadron are walking out of the Dome of Darkness, Kid and Asura follow them but were stop by their father.
"I only told your squadron to go but you two." Both Kid and Asura stop and turned to their father. They looked up to his eyes, seeing the rage seething into his pitch-black holes. "Don't you have any idea what you both have done?!" The elder shinigami roared. The Death Scythes and Sid stood align behind the Shinigamis, viewing the scolding the young shinigamis are receiving. The elder Death God look at his Death Scythes and told them to go back to the castle, and they did.
"But father, Afreet's soldiers have come and invaded-"
"Don't you realized that we have a truce?! Now that you have broken our agreement, the Kishins will began slaughtering all the inhabitants of the eight worlds!" Lord Death shouted, interrupting Kid's response.
"Not only that, but you also reveal the secret about a Shinigami wielding a Death Scythe!" Sid is astound about hearing this revelation. Turns out, not only Lord Death and the Death Meisters can wield the Death Scythes, but anyone who's a shinigami. If this information gets out, then the other worlds will plots ways to end Lord Death's rule.
"Father, I know that Kid is reckless, but there is an enemy that is plotting against, but the enemy we know right now is an enigma." Asura then spoken up. Lord Death then look to his his elder son's eyes, trying to intimidate him but failed. Lord Death then takes a breath.
"Even if it's true, Kid has cause a war that will wrought all the eight worlds. It's inevitable right, so there's one thing we must do now." Sid then starting to breathe heavily because of what Lord Death is planning.
"We are going to war once more with the Kishins, but before we prepare, I must punish my son." Lord Death then looks to Kid's eyes once more. "Kid... I Lord Death, will punish you with a fate worst than torture. I will erase your memory and control your reality until you remember who you are and take responsibility once more!" Kid's widen his eyes for what he has heard. Kid's reality will be ruptured so he can learn to become a better Shinigami. "But father-"
"Silence! I don't want to here a word from you and accept your punishment!" Lord Death then gathers all power from an unknown source and begin to create an enchantment made out of light, and surrounded Kid with it spell binding. After the spell was over, everything faded to black. Nothing happen after Kid's punishment and nobody knows what happen and will never do.
Until now.
Back From The Memories, Two Hours Later
Kid started to take a deep breath, from seeing what has transpire the whole conflict in his past. He's the one who cause this, he's the one that made Lord Death to erase everyone's' memories, he's the one that almost bring destruction to Darkatos.
"I can't believe... I was the one that almost ended everything..." Kid said solemnly.
"It wasn't your fault Kid... You thought that the Kishins are plotting something and the actions that lead you into this... Makes you a great warrior..." Sparta said, trying to motivate him.
Kid didn't care for what his blade has to say, he must atone for his sins for what he has done. " A great warrior, but not a king. I don't care whatever you said is true or not... but that leads up to the next question," Kid rose up from his seat and stared at the wall.
"Where the hell is my brother!" Kid yelled. Kid realized that his older brother Asura, hasn't been around this ruptured timeline. In fact, he was killed in this world. He can feel all the sorrow and rage... pure rage... hatred rage... the greatest rage than they other residents of Darkatos. He must know where his brother is, or else no one will believe him. There's got to be a chance that Asura will survive, he's a Shinigami that can be only killed by one of the greatest beast of the eight worlds. Just then, Spirit Albarn came knocking at the steel door. "Yo Kid, your father is waiting."
Spirit opened the door so he can get Kid walking out, but when he did, he saw Kid having a large sword laying on his right shoulder. "What the hell?! How did you get a student in the Interrogation Room, without having anyone coming inside to meet you?!" said Spirit.
"He's not a student, he's Sparta. And he came from the wall over there." Kid said as he pointed with his thumb to the destroyed wall behind him. This left Spirit widening his jaw for seeing the destruction the sword made. While he was shock of what the blade can do, Kid kept walking away, far enough so no one can't see him. He then use the Black Blood to make a teleportation spell to be behind Death's Room's door.
Once he did, He took a deep breath and push the doors and enter in. When he open the doors, Kid saw many students and teachers with Lord Death. Kid thought that everyone will gossip of what he has done to Maka, Soul, and Black Star, but everyone was amazed and astonished from seeing the blade, Kid is carrying.
Kid didn't even care for the stares they give to his blade, so he kept walking towards to Lord Death to confront him. While he was walking he stop and sees his former friends. Maka's head is all bandaged up from the assault Kid made, Soul has his covered his ribs from Kid's strikes. Both of them give menacing stares to the youngest Shinigami.
Kid felt a little guilty for attacking them brutally. He then move on to the Thompson Sisters, were they didn't have the feeling to look at him in the face. Sure he was staying away from his weapons to find out what's going on in the morning, but he can't face the fact that he didn't even tell them of what was actually going on. Then he moved to Black Star, all bandaged up from the waist down. Having many bruises all over his body and the burned flesh all around his face, he looks like he can barely stand. His blood dried into his face and body, from the fight Kid gave to him. He acts that he's fully healed, but from the damage Kid did to him, he can tell that there's no way someone can recover from his hits. Then he sees Tsubaki, his childhood friend 10,000 years ago but that didn't even matter. She's here and is very upset for what he has done to Black Star.
"So is this the part where I have to apologize?" Kid asked. Black Star stares at him, just to underestimate him. "I don't give a damn if you lost on purpose Black Star, but you do realize that facing a Shinigami will bring much consequences." Black Star's was wide-eyed shock. How did Kid knew that he lost on purpose so that he can see his strength.
"But I do understand... Wanting to see your opponent on how strong they are, better luck next time." Kid said as he turns to everyone. "People of the DWMA, I'm here by the accusations that I have been berserk on my actions. Truth is, that I was full of rage.
Everyone of you sided with a God who has great power than all of you, but turns out he rupture everything so he can restart a new life for us." Kid apposes.
"Kid, you have gone too far from your actions. You injured three of your classmates, release a prisoner from the DWMA, and letting loose a Kishin. Do you have anything to say for yourself." The Elder Shinigami said.
"Yeah, you almost killed Maka and I with your attacks Kid, just because for a Kishin?!" yelled Soul.
"And also almost killing Black Star!" Tsubaki adds up.
"As well for freeing a prisoner of the school, luckily Black Star was able to stop him from escaping." Stein includes.
Kid was feeling so much anger from the comments he's hearing right now. He couldn't handle the words from his former classmates and teachers from the DWMA. "Tell us what is going on Kid?" Spirit adds up.
"You could've cause the lives of innocence from letting the Kishin loose." Sid says.
"Are you trying to destroy Death City by your simple actions?!" Soul accuses.
Then everyone was ganging up on Kid, asking questions about his actions and destruction he keeps doing. Suddenly, he snapped.
"ENOUGH!" Kid roared, making everyone in the room silence. "YOU PEOPLE ARE SICK! YOU ARE FOLLOWING MY FATHER'S RULES, AND NONE OF YOU ARE SUSPICIOUS OF WHAT HE'S DOING?!" Kid added. Everyone was stunned by the words of the young Shinigami.
"I HAVE SAVE DARKATOS FROM THE DESTRUCTION THAT KISHIOKU WAS ABOUT TO BRING, AND MOST OF YOU ARE MY FRIENDS. WHY THE HELL AREN'T YOU GUYS ON MY SIDE? I, KID, GOD OF DEATH, PRINCE OF DARKATOS, KNIGHT OF WAR, AND YOU ACCUSED ME FOR THIS?!" Kid was going on and on, that many people didn't even talk back.
"You, father have almost brought the end of Darkatos because of my actions? I understand what punishment you were giving me but this has gone too far!" Kid turn his attention to Soul and Maka. "You guys aren't even together! Maka, you are the Meister of Courage, Death's Angel, and you haven't even focus on the actions of me and my father had done? Soul, you are the Weapon of Slaying, sure you are a asshole but you would have never ever accused anyone in your life!"
Kid then turns to Black Star. "And you... You have killed an innocent Kishin. It wasn't doing anything wrong, but no you decided to kill anyone that who's a demon. Well I'm looking one right now, you son of a bitch! Also, why the hell you beat the living hell out of Crona? Did you even ask of what he's trying to do? Did you bother to talk to him about his situation? No... you just follow orders that kept you blind from the truth." The words Kid said, made Black Star feel hurt and angered.
"Then you..." Kid then talks to his father, "You have no idea of what pain I'm feeling right now! I'm hurt... You're suppose to be a father and check on their children, but no you assume everything will be okay. Well I'll tell you this... You are the worst father of all..."
Kid then put his right arm, having Sparta in his hands, showing everyone in the room, of who show him the truth. "All thanks to Sparta! The Blade that help me find the truth!" After all that, people became confused, curious, and straight up astonished. Lord Death then spoke up.
"Kid... You have shown everyone the truth, and you jeopardize everything I have done... You will pay for your actions my son."
"Really? Well then, give everyone their memories so that can everyone can see what you have done... Whatever what happen to Asura... you made sure that no one will see your plans!"
"You don't understand the sacrifices that I have done!" Lord Death counters.
"You let everything fall apart! I should've be king to protect everyone from your actions!"
"You are a vain, greedy, and cruel boy!"
"AND YOU ARE A OLD MAN AND A FOOL!" Kid yells. Everyone stop from what they're thinking, Kid just stood up to his father and now what will happen now. While everyone was confused of the whole Darkatos and kingdom thing, Lord Death spoke once again.
"You're right... I am a fool..." Kid then takes a breath. "A fool that I could have ever thought that you would be king someday..." Kid was shocked. He must have push the buttons for the last time. "Yes, I have erased everyone's memories for their sake and the future of Darkatos... but you are still arrogant as ever... you are unworthy!" Lord Death yelled. he then got closer to Kid and snatch his blade away from him.
"Sparta!" Kid called.
"You are unworthy for this blade!" Lord Death added. He then rips the clothing of Kid to show that he has almost cause the end of his homeworld. "You are unworthy! You are unworthy! You are unworthy! You're unworthy!" Lord Death says, as Kid was now left shirtless.
"I Lord Death, Hereby say... Death the Kid... you are banish from Darkatos and you won't come back until you learn how to become a Shinigami you are!" With Lord Death stated, Kid was lost for words. Kid banish? What he has done to deserve his punishment?
"Whoa! Whoa! Lord Death, I know that Kid is in trouble but do we have to banish him from Death City?" Soul said.
"Yeah, it was just an accident! He never met to unleash chaos to the DWMA." Black Star adds in.
"SILENCE YOU TWO!" Lord Death says, making the two guys follow his commands.
"No, I will not give back their memories until you learn how to become a true Shinigami! A true Shinigami must accept whenever what happens remember? You must sacrifice anything you hold dear to protect Darkatos. Your friendships, your marriage, anything that made you the Shinigami you are? No? Then you are not a true Shinigami!" Lord Death opens a portal behind Kid so where he can send him in.
"Wait! Lord Death!" Soul try to intervened, but Maka hold him back, letting the Headmaster doing his business. "Maka?! What the hell-"
"Quiet, Soul! He must learn his actions. Sure he didn't want it to happen, but going against the Elder Shinigami is suicide." Maka adds, making Soul back off from the action that was about to commence.
Black Star couldn't believe what was happening. Kid banished by his own father? seeing that made him remember the missions he has done for his own father and what havoc he has brought to Paris. He wish he could something, but he can't. He must find answers before he acts.
"I'm sorry my son..." Lord Death then shoves Kid to the portal where Kid yelled from the the portal he is going to. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!" As when Kid was nowhere to be seen, Lord Death then looks at Sparta and began to add an enchantment. "Whoever wields this blade, If it be worthy shall possess the power of Kid and Sparta..." With that, a magic circle with the red skull imprinted on top, appeared on the rain guard, and a few moments disappear. He then throws the blade to the portal where Kid was sent, and began to close so no one can't enter.
...
...
...
No one in Darkatos, never know what happen to Kid. Some say that Lord Death has somewhat send his son to the depths of hell. Others say that Kid was obliterated by his own father. No...
That did not happen. What really happen is that Kid was somehow teleported to a world that he had never thought of going towards to. At first Kid thought that he died and disgraced his race. But what it turns out that he was on a journey. A journey to a world he can learn from. A Journey into Mystery...
But first, Let go see someone else. Someone way worst and probably the worst human being in all of the universe.
Elsewhere in the Future
There's a young man, only wearing a cloak and seeing the world slowly coming to the end, he has seven days until earth is destroyed. He's somewhere in a dead forest, his eyes started to gaze the remaining stars, but then he became depress. Sure that the world is gonna end, but is the point of his existence? He was created with his six other siblings and were trained to become the strongest. He did, he was able to kill the many heroes through the other universes and beyond that. But not this one, he was quite fond with it. He was born here and he saved it for last, but he wanted to do something different.
Suddenly, the cloaked figure then receives a call from his brother. "Yo bro! He's ready to go on the last day. Are you ready to begin your mission?"
"Later bro, I must get rid of the scum that are about to end everything."
"Isn't he the one that cause that day? I understand that we must protect the future but he's gonna ruin everyone's future if we don't take action."
"Remember, only you, me, and the other siblings are on this. After that, I'll do all the saving and we keep the descendants fooled. I don't want them to ruin everything I work for."
"Alright, See ya later, Xeos!"
"Goodbye, Ichor. Say hello to Manna, Aura, Sonora, Eitr, and Yliaster for me."
After that call, he then stood up and was ready to go and complete his mission of killing everyone in this universe and then venture to save the world. He then look up, and then start to imagine a bright future, for everyone that could have. But first he must do what he must be told. "Red Blood... you cause this world to break. I will find you and kill you, and I can save this world. By destroying this world's past, present and future. I already completed the future, and what remains is the present and the past. Heh, after that job is done, I'll save this world. No more descendants... no more destruction... no more connections... One future that I'll save..." With that, the cloaked figure begin his mission... destroy everything in this ruined world then travel to the past and save it.
Back on Earth, Where Everything just Started
Kid was still in the portal and it lead him to see the many stars and probably galaxies. Kid was still screaming throughout his trip, still shocked and hurt from what recently happen. "Sparta! Sparta!" Kid tries to call out.
"Kid... I'm behind you... Kid, I'm sorry that you are banish because of me... and now there's no way for you to restore everything..." Sparta apologize for the trouble he brought to Kid.
"It doesn't matter! We need to go back! I must save Darkatos!" Kid answers back.
"I'm sorry Kid... There's no way for you to save Darkatos anymore... But I promise... I'll bring help from others... good luck Kid... and by Death's Soul be with you..." With that, Kid was falling fast down to the passageway to somewhere. The portal that extent it's energy is black for the outline, but in the inner colors are purple. Kid has been traveling for over seven minutes and finally landed.
Kid then look around his surroundings, but the other end of the portal is still open. Kid then sees to bright lights, he was so curious and scare at the same, that it was so fast...
Bam!
Kid was out cold. He was hurt really badly and he feels numb. He felt cold, yet he's still breathing. He wonders of where he is, because he started to hear voices surrounding him.
"Guys... he's not a person."
"What do you mean, Blake? He's pretty looks human to me."
"Yes I know, but his chest is wide open and lost 1.2 gallons of blood! Our bodies can
carry 1.5, he should be dead but he's still breathing."
"Then if he's not human, what could he be? He doesn't look like a Faunus, so who is he?"
"I don't know, but whoever he is... he's something extraordinary."
'Blake?' Kid says in his mind. He then felt lights hovering over him. He was curious so he waited until further notice.
Ruby went to get the flashlights to see the injuries of the mysterious person. She put the flashlight on, and saw his bloodied, yet built body. She somehow blushed of seeing the person's well tone body, and was lost for a bit, but she return to her duty as she inspects his body. Once everyone see the body, they are very surprise of his physical appearance.
"Wow this guy is... umm..." Pyrrha couldn't continue because she didn't want anyone to hear her thoughts of him.
"Oh my god, does he need CPR, because I know CPR!" Nora yells due seeing the appearance of the Shinigami. Ren was surprise of Nora's action. Usually she doesn't act like this.
"Whoa... this guy looks tough. I bet this guy is a body builder." Jaune comments when seeing the Shinigami's physical appearance. Weiss didn't say anything due to keep having her eyes glued to the muscular body. She blush the entire time inspecting his body.
Blake was stuck in a dazed by looking his face. "Wow... this guy looks so interesting that he could be... mighty." With that last comment, the mysterious person open his eyes, showing his golden irises to the Faunus. Blake was started by this so she got up, and the mysterious man stood up and look towards the sky. The mysterious man kept staring at the night sky.
Team RWBY, JNPR and Professor Port was confuse when the young man they accidentally ran over gazing at the stars.
"Umm... is he okay?" Ruby ask
"シド!シド!" yelled the mysterious person.
"Umm, what?" Jaune replied, confused on what the language he's speaking.
"Maybe he's from a foreign country?" Pyrrha claims, as she was too of the mysterious person words.
"シド、ゲートを開く!私はダーファトスを救う必要がある" The mysterious three white-lined continues.
"But he's talking to the sky? isn't that weird?" Ruby says.
"Probably when we hit him, he became delusional and is speaking nonsense." Ren explains his idea. Suddenly, the three white-lined turn towards the group.
"Umm, I think he just heard you!" Weiss exclaims.
"そこのあなた!この場所は何ですか?エイボノス?ブルジャノ?" The three white-lined individual walk towards to them demanding answers. The group then became a little scare, due to his hostility and basically he's still bleeding out.
"Look, we don't want any trouble. We're gonna take you to the hospital around here in Amsterdam." Professor Port says, but the three white-lined individual didn't listen. Blake then pulls out her Gambol Shroud and was ready to attack.
"Look... umm, stranger? We don't want to fight at all. So let us help you! We don't know what worlds you are talking about!" Blake tries to negotiate with the Shinigami.
"どのようにあなたを感謝!私はキッド、死の神、ダーファトスの王 子、戦争の騎士!あなたは自分の武器を神に託すことはありません。" Kid was then hit with a large hammer from the behind, and has fallen to the ground hard and was unconscious. The group was shock, seeing Nora, using her weapon, Magnhild on the Shinigami they just ran over. The group was quiet for a while, until Nora breaks the silence.
"What? He was speaking gibberish! Also he was scaring me, and I didn't know what to do, so I brought my hammer from the van so I can knock him out! And it work!" Nora explains. The group was still shocked of what Nora did, but they did knock him out on the road, so it wouldn't matter.
"Great. I guess we have to carry him." Blake says as she walks towards the Shinigami.
"Umm, Blake?" Pyrrha calls out.
"Yes, Pyrrha?" Blake answers.
"Do you understand his language? Because you know what he's saying I assume?"
Pyrrha explains. "Well yeah, he was speaking Japanese. He also somehow understands our language when we spoke to him. At first, I thought of Ren's idea was correct but he wasn't delusional when he ask us where he's located." With Blake answering Pyrrha's question, she was confused and Professor Port caught it.
"It there something wrong?"
"Well... He said to Sid to open the gate to Darkatos and he's trying to save it. Then he started talking about himself being a god, and that I should not raise a weapon to him. He also said that his name is Kid." Everyone in the group heard that and they think for a while and found their conclusion.
"Yep, he's delusional." Everyone agree and then all help Blake with carrying the Shinigami. It turns out that the Shinigami was quite heavy. Jaune commented that he weight like a thousand bowling balls. They put the Shinigami in the back with the rest of the students and Professor Port, driving to a nearby hospital.
When the students left, somewhere in the desert there is a small green troll. This troll consist of a brown cloak, having a little pouch near his belt. The little troll stares the van with his yellow glares, while smirking. "So... The Son of Death has finally comes to earth... This will be interesting. I must find my allies! Hellagon will resurface once more
Hahahahahahaha!"
The little trolls then used his remaining strength to teleport to another world or dimension and he vanishes. Once he left, something in the sky, having a small vortex open between the clouds, a sword was falling with a great amount of force and crash landed somewhere in the farthest of Amsterdam.
Hospital at Amsterdam, 30 Minutes Later
The drive took hours to get there over night, the gang was able to get Kid to the hospital and finally with him staying until he recovers, he's not the students' problem. While the professionals are putting Kid to one of the rooms, Team JNPR, Ruby, Yang, and Professor Port stayed in the waiting room, waiting for Blake and Weiss are telling the doctor about what happen. While Weiss and Blake are handling the situation, the others are doing something to pass the time. On the right side of the waiting room, Nora is playing with her PS Vita playing Gravity Rush, while everyone having no idea that she has one, and brought it with her. Ren is sitting patiently having his arms crossed, waiting for this mess to be over. Even though Nora sitting next to him on his right, while Professor Port snoring too loud on his right was hard for Ren to have a peaceful moment.
In the middle of the waiting room, Jaune was sitting, having no idea to do to pass the time. He turn to his left, to see Pyrrha reading a book about the Dark Gods mythos.
"Umm, Pyrrha? What are you doing?" Jaune ask, getting Pyrrha's attention. "Well when the stranger we just ran over and was talking about Eibonos and Brujano, I knew that those are the worlds of Dark Gods mythos." Pyrrha explains while showing the description of the eight worlds. "See! There are tons of information of the Dark Gods myths! Like this one, a realm called Havela, where warriors of the Shinigami died in battle and go to this realm where they can have many celebrations for their work to the Great Shinigami, Lord Death, The Grim Reaper!" Pyrrha went on and on, that Jaune was totally lost in her words. "Umm right, thanks for the lesson Pyrrha." Jaune then started to daydream for a bit, so he won't get bored while the doctors figure out what will they do with the mysterious man. Pyrrha continued reading the book, until a certain topic came up in the 77th chapter. "The End of Everything?" Pyrrha read the title of the topic and then reads the whole chapter.
Finally on the right, Ruby and Yang didn't sat when they enter the hospital, thy have been eyeing on the vending machine in the waiting room. looking at all the snacks, they started to become hungry but didn't have any spare money to get what they one from the machine. "Aw man! I'm sooo hungry! We don't have any money to get what we want!" whined Ruby. "Don't worry sis, I can handle this!" With that smirk on her face, Ruby knows of what her sister is gonna do. Yang punch the glass of the vending machine that with much force, it shatter to millions of pieces! Yang simply grabbed all the snacks from the now broken vending machine, and gave her sister a bag of potato chips. Ruby was thinking about how her sister and herself could go to jail for destroying a machine meant to give snacks in exchange for money.
Blake and Weiss couldn't believe of what transpired so far with Ruby and Yang. They can't believe on how they're going to explain about their actions. Meanwhile, they explain everything to doctor about the Shinigami and the whole story, she then ask the students if they know any information about the mysterious man. That topic, was going to be difficult to them.
"So what's the name of the patient?" The brunette female doctor asked to the Heiress and the Faunus.
"Umm, his name i-is Kid." Blake said with a little bit of trouble speaking due to the question they were given.
"Kid?" The brunette doctor says, finding hard to believe the patients name.
"Well, he was speaking in Japanese and from what he heard, his name is Kid." Weiss backed up Blake's statement. The doctor was a little hesitant, but then continue with the other questions.
"So do you know this man?"
"N-No, we never met him. We accidentally... ran him over with our van." Weiss says in embarrassment , because she has to say to the doctor that they ran him over on the road. The doctor then started to feel uncomfortable, but she still continue.
"S-So does he live in some foreign country?"
"Well, he speak Japanese, so I suppose he's from Japan." Blake answers. With all of the questions answered, the doctor told them to wait until he can recover from his injuries.
Having been relief from the whole thing, they rested on chairs in the waiting room with the others. But none of them doesn't know, what happens when a Shinigami is left alone with the hands of medical professionals... hell breaks loose.
With Kid
Kid then started to feel lights hovering over him, making him awake from his brutal assault from the woman with the hammer. He then started to remember of what happen.
He was hit by some beast with shining stars for eyes, and encounter a group from some folklore. A knight in shining armor, a warrior from ancient times, a lone jade wanderer with mysterious ways, a feisty woman with a powerful hammer, a red-hooded girl, a blonde brawler, a fantastic snow princess, and a shadow girl with some cat-like features.
Also a fat professor. Or what it seem to be like in Kid's imaginations.
"W-Where... where am I?" Kid ask himself, seeing that he's lying down on a bed and having many strange machines near him. There's one where a box makes a beep for each time the line started to move. One with the many bags containing blood and many other liquids. Kid was confused and started to panic seeing all these weird creations he sees. He then was grabbed on his left arm, seeing a man wearing some blue clothing and having short black hair. "Alright buddy, say still. I need to take some blood samples to see that if you're okay." The man with short black hair said.
"How dare you taking blood from a God who is way above you!" Kid pulls his arm away and swung it back to the man with short black hair, and made him crash to the wall of the room Kid is being held in. The nurse then sees this and screams, seeing the strange person pushing away a doctor with much force. When the cries of the nurse was heard. the many faculty members and doctors join in room X777 and see the patient going crazy. All the 20 members of the hospital decided to stop the Son of Death by grabbing his arms and legs, preventing him from moving.
"Rraagh!" Kid with all his might, was able to away all the members away from him. He then started to get out of the room, but he trips forward when three members of the staff grabbed his right leg. They then drag him back to the room, now having the whole group to help out.
Yelling was heard throughout the hospital, including the waiting room. With everyone alerted with the cries, they run to the room where Kid is being held to recover. They found it and open the door, ready to join the action. But they saw the mysterious man subduing all the medical faculties and trying to get out the hospital. "Stop you idiot?! They're trying to help you!" Weiss yells at the three white-lined man. Kid turn his attention to Weiss.
"You, Snow Princess! Tell me of this place! Why am I here, being tested by this mortals?" Kid demanded.
"W-Wait? You speak English?" Weiss ask, now starting to get confuse with the man speaking Japanese, but now English. Weiss didn't give a quick answer, so he switch his attention to Pyrrha. "You, Warrior from Arkotos! Where am I? Where's my father?"
"H-Hold on sir, we don't know what are you talking about?" Pyrrha says, causing Kid to move to Blake. "You there, Cat girl! I need to know what world is this? Please I need to find Sparta!" Blake then started to froze. He knows that she's a Faunus? They just barely met and this man already correctly guess on her race. Kid then walks towards them, now causing the gang and the professor to freak out, but suddenly a familiar hammer wielding girl saves the day. Nora found a syringe filled with blue liquid, and jabs it on Kid's neck. Kid walks back for a bit, seeing that he's just been stabbed by the same woman who knocked him out. Kid then falls to the ground unconscious, by the hands by the crazy hammer girl.
The group looked at Nora in shock yet again, having to knock out the stranger again. "What? He was going berserk, so I found this needle and I shoved it to his neck and now he's knock out." Nora explains, still making the gang and the professor still shocked. Suddenly out of nowhere, the same brunette doctor appears behind the group, mostly scaring them from having her waiting behind them the whole time.
"Speaks Japanese huh?" the doctor says, showing a hint of anger for lying to the professionals. "Look he did speak Japanese! We didn't know how he was able to speak English as well!" Ruby defended herself and the gang, but it wasn't enough to convince the doctor, so they to stay in the hospital until they can all sort this out. While they were busy with the Shinigami's son, something else occur one day later.
IJ, Amsterdam, One Day Later
It was morning, the sun was rising, a beautiful day to start sailing, and the citizens of Amsterdam did. Everyone was enjoying the fun in IJ, the lake of Amsterdam. Everything around that lake is peaceful and fantastic, but one individual somehow cause something to spark. An man holding a fishing rod, around his fifties, wearing a long sleeved burgundy shirt and have a orange life jacket. He also wears black jeans and brown belt around his waist. His facial features is that he was a medium size white beard and mustache. He also has short greyish hair, but it's covered by his beige fishing hat. It turns out that this man is fishing, but it turns out he hasn't caught any.
"Well gosh darn it! I spent three hours here, and I haven't got any fish!" The old man cursed. He spent in the lake since at six to eight in the morning, and hasn't caught any for three hours. He decided to make one last attempt to throw his bait to the lake, and with so much force, the old man's fishing line has reach over 30 feet but has somehow hit something. The old man felt it, since he can feel that his fishing rod has hit something, and is somewhat stuck.
The old man row his boat forward to wear his fishing rod hit. Once he got there, he was astonished. It was a sword, from the tip to the handle its 5 to 6 feet long, having three ridges on both side, making the tip way sharper. The outlines the ridges within the edge are solid steel, while having the front and back, pure black while having the fuller blood red. The rain guard is shaped of a skull, having a red spartan symbol on its fore head, the hilt seems so long that you need both of your hands to lift this weapon. Finally for the final ornament of blade, the pommel looks to be some sort of red crystal ball while the inside of it contains some dark energy or something.
The old man sees that the sword is somewhat floating. The blade pierce the waters, but hasn't sink to the bottom. The old man was curious, so he tries to lift the blade. He put both of his hands on the grip and tries to pull it, but he somehow has trouble pulling the blade out. The old man tried every attempt to pull out the sword but failed. He then thought to himself, that he needs help to get the blade off the lake. So the old man row to the people who are interested of getting a free sword.
That's all I'm gonna show and let me know on what to improve on in this chapter. I have some things to finish up and hopefully I get back to finish this chapter. Ask me or CodenameBlackStar any questions and we'll come and answer as much as we can. As always, See ya later!
