Prelude to the End Chapter 27: Captor of Necoria, a rosario + vampire fanfic

A hooded cloaked Elite Necromancer materialized out of a pillar of black smoke, getting behind Luise as she was still on Kasano. Kasano's eyes widened seeing the Elite grabbing Luise pulling her off of him, his right skeletal hand wrapped around her mouth while his left was conjuring a ball of green electrical energy placing it near her preventing Tsukune, Kasano, or any of the others from advancing to save Luise.

"!emoH ot nos recnamorceN ruoy nruter airoceN ...lrig su ot esu emos evah llits uoY !siht ekil toN" The Necromancer spoke in their language, summoning a rift. Luise was struggling to get the Elite's hand off her as he backed in to the swirling abyss, just as the Necromancer pulled her in Kasano without thinking jumped in to the portal as it began to collapse on itself. Michael held out his hand trying to stop Kasano from jumping in hoping to manipulate the gravity around his form. Michael was too late to stop Kasano from jumping in after the girl, he knew full well of where he went.

Kasano was flung into a open clearing dark and barely Illuminated, Kasano got up on his feet as soon as he began hearing Shadow whispers, they were everywhere. The thought immediately struck him of where he was... Necoria.

"Let go of me!" Luise shouted, struggling against the Elite as he brought her into a fortified Manor. Kasano kicked it in to high gear moving towards the location of her protests. Worry plagued his mind, if he was successful of rescuing the girl, how on Earth would they get out. Approaching the door with a murderous haste, Kasano prepared to breach the well carved door. Storming at the door, a Serith kicked him against a column just right before he came in contact with the door.

"You're in my way!" Kasano yelled charging at the Serith gathering a pressurized attack in his fist striking the Serith causing it to break to dozens of pieces.

"!eriF dlaremE" A Necromancer Mage shouted conjuring an Emerald fire attack exploding around Kasano while summoning several Armored Brutes. The Brutes swung their blades downwards to strike Kasano, but luckily for Kasano he jumped in to the air evading the combined attack. Swinging his left arm down showing the palm of his hand in the direction of his enemies that continue to spawn from the Manor, Kasano placed his right grip on his left arm with his palm still facing the enemy as he was in mid air.

Kasano's veins on his arms began to circulate and glow, while his left palm began to form a red electrical sphere of energy, releasing the attack it struck the front of the Manor blowing the first wall down and wiping out any of the hostiles by the entrance. Satisfied of his victory Kasano quickly descended to reach the ground. Several chains were fired into the air by multiple Serith's each chain wrapping around Kasano bringing him down.

Necromancer Common infantry, lessers, and servants began to move in on Kasano as he was being restrained by the armored husks. Kasano focused on building up his attack waiting for the hostiles to get in close, several crunches and snapping noises in his body, several hundred tiny fragments of bone shrapnel hit the majority of his targets before detonating, the explosion was large enough to free him from his metallic prison. Kasano's body began to regrow and heal his bones, while Kasano kept to the objective find the girl. Moving in through the destroyed entrance, Necromancers swarmed around him striking him with assortment of blades creating wounds on his body. Kasano drew his short blade deflecting the still oncoming attacks.

Rushing up the stairs while evading projectiles being shot at him or conjured against him, Kasano busted in to the door where the screaming was coming from. Luise was strapped down on a table with an assortment of devices being ready to probe her mind and body. The Elite already was on Kasano appearing behind him kicking him against a workbench. Kasano rolled against the workbench dodging a curved sword from hacking in to him.

Kasano's eyes began to dilate in to a reptilian shape tapping in to his rage, giving him the edge against the arriving Necromancers. "Today was not a good day to Fuck with me!" Kasano hissed at the Necromancers, who ignored his anger and charged in to the room. Kasano dashed in to the crowd cutting several dozen down. Luise was already freeing herself from her predictiment, undoing each latch from her hands to her feet. Luise eyes sparkled seeing Kasano dispatch her kidnappers like they were nothing. However Luise wanted to see how he was dealing with she failed to notice he was taking considerable amount of damage from both Arcane attacks and non Arcane attacks.

Kasano knew it was pointless in trying to fight his way through a continuous flow of Necromancers, they needed to get out before they send Elites to help the one that Kidnapped the girl. A blade through Kasano's leg was a wake up call for Luise, she decided it was enough playing the damsel in distress, her eyes glowed a bright yellow as her eyes dilated. Yellow balls of light formed in both of her palms as she tossed them at the entrance to the room, a mild explosion knocked Kasano backed getting him some space. Using the chaos to his advantage in midflight he grabbed Luise smashing through the room's window leading back out in the open. Luise held on for dear life as one wrong move could end her life. Kasano in mid air swung Luise on his back, Kasano took some of the blood on his cheek conjuring and calling his Dragon form through the ritual. The drop of blood enveloped his entire body morphing his form in to his Dragon form flying directly towards the dark sky, a deadly lightning storm filled the entire sky, Kasano's Dragon form opened his mouth wide firing a pressurized fire ball in to the sky, his eyes widened as it slung it back turning the red fireball in to a purple flame. The flame exploded on the Dragon's face stunning him from the paralyzing explosion that the storm threw right back at Kasano.

The Dragon tried to push into the storm, but it was like the storm was aware of Kasano trying to breach through the clouds and shot a bolt of lightning forcing him back into his Human form falling out of the sky with a trail of smoke trying to regain conscious, Luise held on to him tightly screaming as they fell out of the sky. Kasano's eyes for a split second sparked a bright red causing him to grab Luise in a bridal style in his arms, he manipulated the gravity around his form descending slowly.

"What now?" Luise asked with a hint of worry in her voice, seeing as Kasano's plan failed to escape Necoria through the storm, which seemed to prevent anyone to leave that way.

Their moment of reprieve was shattered as a ash cloud summoned a horde of Necromancers, Luise held on to Kasano tightly burying her head in to his chest, closing her eyes and praying that any pain would be quick. The weapons pointed at Kasano and Luise as the enclosed in the circle to move in for the capture. Behind Kasano a swirling white rift tore open in the dimension putting the Necromancers on high alert. Michael stepped out of the Dimensional tear, placing his sword in the ground he raised his palm above his head releasing a barrage of different color lightning streams shocking or killing the Necromancers around the three. Kasano moved in the portal with Luise, as he turned back Michael closed the Dimensional tear... with Michael still in the Necoria's Dimension.

"You're alright!" Tsukune sounded somewhat relieved which surprised him seeing, as he didn't wish ill on Kasano, even though he tried to kill him, then he noticed Luise was holding his hand tightly. "Yeah.. We're both alright." Alexis saw Michael wasn't with the Kasano or Luise.

"Kasano where's Michael?" Alexis asked Kasano who had his head held down in shame seeing he was pulled out by his master.

"Kasano...?" Alexis asked again, fearing something went wrong.

Several Hours later...

Dusk was approaching and the Sun began to set, the others waited for Michael... worry started to plague the minds of the others.

"Maybe he's dead...?" Liz voiced out, thinking that was the only reasonable explanation for him not coming back, the question shook Alexis to the very core, after going through all the trouble of reviving him. A dimensional rift opened up revealing Michael who's face bore no skin but smears of blood, his cloak covered in holes, his body covered in blood. Tsukune thought Michael looked exactly like what he did when he saw him in the mirror long ago.

"What happened to you?" Omote asked, though Michael just ignored her as he walked past them sitting down on a unfolded chair resting his body.

"Michael-" Alexis was cut off as Michael raised his hand telling her one moment, as he was recuperating his life force and energy.

"Got to hand it to the Necromancers... they don't know when to Fucking quit... I admire that." Michael stated as he got up from the chair his body regenerated, looking like normal again.

*SLAP* Alexis's gloved hand came across Michael's cheek barely moving his head, from the strike. Everyone stood in shock seeing Alexis hit Michael, while Michael's face was unchanged.

"Do you know what I had to go through, trying to keep you intact Michael?! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!" Alexis shouted at Michael, whose face remained unapologetic.

"Relax Alexis I'm fine-"

"SHUT UP! ….. No you're not 'fine'! You're never Fucking fine!" Alexis screamed at Michael slamming her fist against his chest in a fit of rage. "I'm so sick of hearing how- how you can just push your problems down and not deal with it! I seen the look on your face, you're rotting on the inside because you don't want help!..." Alexis continued to strike his chest with her balled up fists trying to get something out of him, a reaction, anything.

Michael grabbed both of her fists she struggled to pull away but, Michael just pulled her in wrapping his arms around her, she relented wrapping her arms tightly around him crying in to his chest. Michael knew Alexis was right to react the way she did, she's trying to get in and Michael forces anyone out that tries to get close to him.

"I can't go through that again Michael... not after that... I j-just can't..." Alexis cried into his chest, knowing all she worked for could've been destroyed.

"Have faith Alexis, I won't make that mistake again." Michael stated to Alexis, who felt serious doubt that he was telling her the truth.

"Michael what happened in there?" Tsukune asked, Michael who was still being hugged by his former apprentice.

"Unfinished Business, I needed answers of a …. friend who never came out when I extracted some defectors years ago... I didn't find the answers I was looking for, so I decided to call it quits... Now... Kasano... WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!" Michael released Alexis, stepping towards his apprentice, Kasano immediately saw Michael's eyes change to a crimson red replacing his original eye color, anger was seething off his form, which put him on edge..

Kasano shook hearing Michael yell at him with a voice of fire. "Wha- I..."

"Necoria, is a death trap for the ill prepared! I almost died several times when I first visited that Dimension, jumping in for her?! I taught you better than to go head first!" Michael continued to chew Kasano out, leaving Kasano to take it and keep quiet. Luise however didn't like the man yelling at her savior.

"Hey! Don't you yell at him, if he didn't come after me... Well... I don't know what would've happened..." Luise stood in front of Kasano acting as a shield for him.

"And You we don't know a damn thing about you, you were acting as Propaganda for the Necromancers! For all we know you're in league with them!" Michael directed his anger at Luise for putting his apprentice in mortal danger.

"Kasano... I swore to your Mother before she drew her last breath, that.. That I'd raise you up under my stead... If you died... I'd never forgive myself, I personally have lost to many people who I grew up with... deaths that I could've prevented."

Michael grabbed his chest placing his right hand over his heart. "Excuse me... I need to be alone." Just like that Michael left, but instead of leaving through a normal rift traveling, he left by a thundering explosion that followed a bolt of lightning moving his form to a new location causing most of the group to jump back from the noise.

Earth/Tokyo City...

Communications districts all across Japan are being tapped, Internet being observed and currently looking for 8th Wielder's Identification, so far inconclusive... Necromancers are preparing for a summoning circle for the final push to finalize their insidious plan, with the Obelisks... there's been talks and rumors lately, most of them about our 'allies' the Necromancers... Our superiors have told us to keep a seal on our traps and remain quiet as long as our alliance with the Necro's continue... Something's not right here... So what happens when we find the 8th Wielder? Some say the Necro's are going to present it to Ash, and get a seat in the Dark Guardian Council... then where does that leave us?

Alright that's enough bitching, I'm sounding like my fifth boyfriend... Okay so I've gone over the security footage of Tokyo's surveillance system, and it looks like the Wielders and their ragged team of Guardian protectors... they literally stopped trying to get in conventional ways and have remained on the outside... now I'm no technical... wait yes I am... what I mean to say was I'm no Military Expert but if I was command, I'd be on alert when it comes to them... From what I heard they practically ditched the war to follow our agent across the Second Earth to retrieve the Crest of Light... They're nothing but persistent, I just wonder when they'll finally say fuck it and engage us openly exposing not only us and themselves...

Going on the report for Kyoko Aono, she has currently gone off the grid... I don't know what to make about that, my superiors informed me that we're marking her off as an unimportant target. Though the Necromancers want to commit further resources to keep the fighters responsible for cockblocking their horde at the Yokai Dimension. I'm all for the bigger pay and the mischief when it comes for messing with tech but... are we right for siding with a Universal Enemy... sure we're not loved but compared to them, we're saints...

Personal Log # 1481 Karyn Macio: No Place Like Home...?

The next day Michael returned to the others with a clear head, no one knew where he went off too when he disappeared like that. When asked about the disappearance, Michael only stated he needed to distance himself off of Earth for a day, Alexis nor Kasano was unaware where he visited knowing the risks of leaving Earth in a Universal war.

A new member to Michael's worried opinion has joined the band of fighters by signing up for a few classes for Yokai academy... Though Luise only enrolled to get in close with Kasano, while Kasano being a bit oblivious to that fact.

Everybody was at the Lunch hall sitting at their usual table, Kasano was sitting by Alexis seemingly calmed but only because Alexis told Kasano about the truth of the fight with Michael back when he was starting his Dark Guardian Council. She told him Kasano that Michael asked her to remain behind to observe the Guardian Council's actions to return to him with information... then she told him about her part in Michael's return. Kasano felt somewhat bad for holding a grudge against Alexis but he would apologize for it later... however Alexis was not going for a later apology..

Alexis smiled at the table patting Kasano on the head, thinking back to a time before the chaos. "I still have to remind myself that you're no longer that little boy, that used to take bath's with me..."

Kasano's eyes widened blood shot, of Alexis bringing that up. "Stop it..." Kasano said in a mild annoyed tone, while Alexis kept laying down the memories.

Hearing that little outburst from Alexis, most of the table just began snickering trying to contain their laughter from Kasano's humiliation. Luise was interested in the story, getting ready to jump on the bandwagon of digging for more information about Kasano.

"Was he a cutie when he was little?!" Luise asked Alexis, who nodded quickly thinking back.

"Yes he was... in comparison to photos he looked like Michael in memory images when you were a child Michael... " Alexis stated, causing Michael to choke on his drink spitting back in his cup causing Yukari to nearly gag, smelling the Alcohol be regurgitated back into the glass. "The difference between the two of us as in appearance when we were children is he was happy in those photos... I was not a happy child... had no reason to be." Michael stated to the other getting back to his drink.

"What happened to my little boy?! I used to tell him stories before he went to bed, cook meals for him, and help him with his studies!" Alexis revealing her memories with Kasano crying out. "He grew up, now put me down damn it! ... You're making a scene..." Kasano protested seeing as he was still in Alexis's grip. "Michael Help me out here..." Kasano asked Michael who was writing his schedule down for the training.

"Kasano I think she want's to hear an apology..." Michael informed his apprentice.

"Okay I'm sorry!" Kasano panicked seeing as he didn't want any more embarrassing memories brought up.

"Why weren't you happy?" Moka asked Michael, which came to a surprise to most, seeing Moka actually asking something that usually doesn't affect her isn't really her thing.

"Yeah I really don't know much about your life, you blocked a lot of memories about most of your life." Tsukune stated to Michael. Michael poured himself another glass before looking at the table of onlookers.

"Very well... Where should I begin... I was a son to a Prominent Father who was the Bastard Son of a Warlord Noble who Legitimized him to the Alritzon family line, and my Mother who was the daughter from a wealthy Merchant. My father owned an estate on the border of the Darklands on the Second Earth." Michael began his story about his origins of where he came from.

"Did you get along with your parents?" Kurumu asked Michael causing Michael to pause for a second before taking another drink.

"I know of them, but I don't know them personally... I told you when I was three years old and the estate of my Father was raided by an army of Outlaws, Bandits, and Brigands... They slaughtered everyone at the estate and was unaware that my body was among the burning estate... that was the only memory I had of my birth place.. Fire... smoke, ashes and embers raining down on my form, I didn't know what to make of it at the time, crackling of the foundation and dust began to cause the estate to crumble around me. For nine days my frail form laid in the ruins of my home... the only thing that kept me alive was my Elder's untapped power, which was distributing enough energy to keep me alive." Michael explained to the others why he had no information other than that.

"Th-that's so sad..." Yukari said with a teary eye, wiping her eyes with her arm.

"What happened next?" Gin asked, who now seemed interested in the story.

"A group of Monks returning from their pilgrimage found my frail form, and took it upon themselves to raise me as a Monk, St. Rivock's Abby... for ten years I became a monk in training... it was home, I dedicated myself to the Abby, learning to read, write, prayer, perform basic manual labor... then one day as I went to the supporting town's market... the same army of cutthroats invaded the Abby razing it to the ground... the man who raised me up was murdered... I was without a home again... My view on society became warped and twisted making me believe this was how life was, and I shouldn't fight it... now instead of finding another Abby or Monastery to take refuge, I became the very thing that killed my family and the people who adopted me... I became a bandit of a thick forest where a dirt trail would leave unsuspected merchants and people with goods for a faster route to their destination... I was a bandit for four years... then I wanted to expand my operations finding a worthy bride...

Well one faithful day I got more than I bargained for, I met one of the most beautiful woman in the known Universe. She was carrying some supplies on her back, I didn't know what it was but it had to be valuable... I ambushed her branding my spear pointing it at her, her face held no fear... heh I demanded that she drop everything she had and surrender... I'd found the woman who I'd make mine to start my own clan of bandits. I gave her the demands of what I wanted from her... She, well she laughed at my demands, telling me that she would accept the demands if I could beat her in armed combat... well I didn't know what the Hell I was getting myself into, when I accepted I quickly found out she was a Warlord, a very experienced Warlord.

Within a minute I was coughing up blood leaning against a tree, she raised her blade against my neck. She said that since that I lost, she could now kill me if she wanted to... I was scared, I feared that my life would end right there... What I did next set the course of my destiny... I threw the direction of my hands towards her throwing a unnatural force of energy outward tossing her against the tree... She was completely shocked of that attack, I was cowering against the tree. Instead of the cold steel against my neck, I felt a hand caressing my face, bringing it up to look at her... she offered a place for me to live on the conditions I become her apprentice... I immediately accepted, she became my Master. For years she continued to raise me up and train me the best she could. Every day I continued to fall in love with my Master Sarana... I went on a initiation rite to become a full fledged Warlord... during that initiation I found this."

Michael unsheathed his blade placing it on the table, looking at the sword full of memories. "When I presented it to my Master, she was shocked that I found one of the three Elder Swords... a Council among the Warlords in the surrounding area soon found out I wasn't just a Warlord... I was a rare Elder Warlord, many wanted to send me off to the Dragon Council for special training, but it was ultimately up to my Master, A few of my compatriots, Silver, Rah, Red, Lea, and Alice pleaded with Sarana to go against it... She just smiled and said to them 'I was never going to send him away.' That night I decided to confess my feelings for her... she accepted it.

The start of 400 A.D. I was sent to Earth with another group of Warlords to suppress the Vamperial nation from seizing most of Western Europe, but before I left I proposed to Sarana, when I returned we'd have a big wedding and start our own Warlord Clan away from the Chaos erupting on the Second Earth...We formed a spiritual bond to keep us connected even though when we were separated." Michael continued his story, but Kurumu thought something was off.

"But wait that would've met you got married and have a few kids around somewhere right?" Kurumu asked Michael, seeing why was he here instead of with her. Michael paused for a moment taking another drink.

"If it were only that simple... When I pushed back the Vamperial nations and their Monster supporters with the rallied Human nations of the East Frankish Kingdom... I returned to a planet that was unified under a new leadership... My master... Sarana... she, died during the founding of the Empire... she was placed to rest at the Imperial Capital of the First Fortress.. She was commemorated a Hero for saving King Crad's life, the King told me that she wanted to say to me that she was sorry breaking her promise to me... Crad offered me a position in his Empire... another Home, at the time I wanted to be left alone hearing the news.. I tried drinking, screwing around with many women, I hooked up with my friend Alice for a while... our relationship became estranged, then close, then shattered. Heh she was a confident woman, we both decided it was time to call it quits... until if and when we decide to start it up again... Though during the time I was serving in Crad's Imperial army, conquering thousands of worlds, fighting the Phoenix Dominion at every turn... I guess I already explained my life with the Golden Empire... shortly after the fall of the Empire, I went to Necoria for knowledge... I met with many friends who wanted a life outside and helped me with in Necoria... I became attached to a Necromancer, she chose to stay behind during the departure... told me that she still had things to do and one day we'll see each other again... I never did see her again.

When I left Necoria, I returned to find out the Empire was embroiled in a new war on it's own planet, dubbed the Ancient Heart War... I reunited with my friends and Your mother Kasano, rallied with the Golden Empire and their allies to face their enemies... Then he showed up... a form of The Great Darkness, one of his physical forms made it into our World, a twisted deformed giant cocoon made of bones and a head above that floating mound with horns attached to it's head. It summoned it's Demonic horde from Hell throwing it at the might of our armies.. On that day I would always remind myself that thing was and will always be our true enemy.. That was one of the reasons I left the Guardian Order, we became to complacent in our positions... That's enough of that for now, too many painful memories to bring up... finish your lunch you're going in to the Time Dimension for a whole day today."

Everyone's eyes widened with shock including Alexis, with the exception of Luise who didn't know what Michael was talking about.

"Wait.. That would be two hundred thirty six years in there!" Omote immediately did that Math, seeing the extent of the slow period of that dimension.

"And? Yes two hundred thirty six years of training, fighting in past battles, and honing your skills. When you finish the years I will evaluate your score and give you one last training." Michael told the others, while everyone had grim looks on their faces, continuous fighting for two hundred thirty six years was going to be hell.

I'll be present for the most part, moving you to one battle after the next.

"What will you be doing while we're fighting?" Mizore asked Michael whose face was void of emotion.

"Meditating." He stated, which many of them doubted.

"You're going to meditate for Two hundred thirty six years?" Tsukune asked with a hint of disbelief.

"I've done it longer in the time Dimension, prepare yourselves it will not be an easy passage through each battle." Before Michael left the others to prepare themselves mentally and physically for the training Kasano stepped up from the table wanting to speak up.

"Master Michael?" Kasano called out to Michael stopping him from leaving.

"Yes?" Michael answered turning around to face his apprentice.

"When I complete my training, you promised that you'd tell me about who my father was right?" Kasano asked Michael knowing that it had been bothering him for since as long as he could remember, it even alluded Alexis as well.

"…..Kasano you're better off not knowing, who your Father is... but if it really means that much to you then my answer remains by that promise I made for you... I'll tell you who your father was, but that is only when you complete your training." Michael informed his apprentice.

Kasano felt Luise grab his face pulling him in for a kiss, shocking him from her course of action. "That was for saving me cutie ;3" Luise winked at him walking away swaying her hips accidentally forgetting to hide her tail. "Buh, buh, wha-What?!" Kasano said with his face flushed from that sneak attack.

"Did a rock star just make out with Kasano?" Kurumu asked seeing as there was trend going on here with Girls and the new guys.

"Are you sure you're up for being here, Yokai academy can be a dangerous place?" Nurrai asked the lone passenger.

"Yeah I'll be fine, my cousin owes me some answers, and he's going to give them one way or another." Kyoko stated clenching her fists, while a concentrated expression was placed on her face.

I told my Jon tha- MY JON?! Did I really just say that?! Keep it cool Kyoko, even though he's really easy on the eyes and... that body... umm... how am I supposed to ask a guy like that out?! He's probably got line of suitors for him! GAH! Don't think about it, anyways I told Jon I'd get my cousin back to help me and that's what I'll do! TSUKI YOU BETTER HAVE THE ANSWERS I WANT!

"heheh, that kid sure does have strange relatives..." Nurrai commented on while Kyoko was having an inner struggle about her personal thoughts.

Cowards choose to hide and remain quiet, the courageous stand and shout to make a difference.

IT MAKES MY GOAL SO MUCH EASIER TO ATTAIN! DARKNESS WILL PREVAIL!
