Prelude to the End Chapter 36: Revealed, a rosario + vampire fanfic

Tsukune was laying down on a very soft futon with Mizore laying against him with her arms wrapped around his chest. The two laid in relative peace, as they were stripped down and under the futon's covers. Tsukune's mind was being haunted by Michael telling him that the final trial would be when they got back to the academy. Tsukune sat up from the futon stirring Mizore from her rest against her boyfriend. "Sorry..." Tsukune said to Mizore, running his hand along her right cheek affectionately.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

Tsukune sighed as he popped his neck from side to side."I guess, I'm just nervous..." Tsukune said looking at Mizore as he stretched his arms. The snow woman looked up at Tsukune curiously.

"Nervous?" She asked.

"Yeah, our final trial before we're tossed in to a war..." Tsukune reminded Mizore, as he was reminded this constantly in his nightmares.

Mizore gave Tsukune a somber look, like a puppy would give to its owner when it sensed something was off or is its owner was saddened.

"I know..." She said as she looked down, "I'm nervous too." Tsukune held Mizore's chilled form close to him hugging her trying not to think about it. "… Mizore I know you want kids with me... But if we did try to have them right now... before we're thrown in to the chaos, I don't know if I'll ever see home again, or if we have to live in our own place with the others... just know that we'll have a family, I promise... " Tsukune said kissing her on the forehead.

Mizore smiled and giggled.

"I'm going to hold you to that," she said sweetly. "You know the others are going to be on your case from taking me like that... " Tsukune said to Mizore, as he got up from the futon slipping on his boxers, and pants.

"They can get on my case about it all they want," she said, "why should I be concerned about what they have to say to me?"

Tsukune awkwardly chuckled."Well not what they'll say... more of what they'll do." Tsukune said worried another conflict would make way with the others.

"Like I said," Mizore said as she sat up, "why should I be concerned?"

As she spoke, she raised a hand and summoned a small swirl of icy wind around her fingers. Tsukune sighed as he sat on the ground putting on his socks and black combat boots, quickly tying them.

Kyoko was sitting on a ledge of a harbor as the warehouse behind her was still on fire leaving warehouse, shrapnel of metal, glass, and concrete scattered everywhere around the building as the building's foundation slowly began to give way, Jon was behind her waiting for her to cope of what she just saw in there, she stopped crying and he saw that was improvement, yet... the quiet was deafening for him. Several gas pipes blew in the in the adjacent building.

"Kyoko... they're in better place." Jon tried to console with her as he sat on the ledge with her. "Yeah... I can't even imagine what they had to go through... Why kids... the innocence of the world? Why Jon? Why?" She asked Jon, though he didn't have an answer, as Necromancers were always willing to break that line of ethics and morality. "They're sick wretched creatures Kyoko, they'll never see the innocent only the unwilling to die for their cause..." Jon said to Kyoko, while the two saw several fire engines blaring their sirens as they moved towards the burning factory. "Come on we'd better be off, we still have to-" Jon was cut off as several explosions from Tokyo could be seen across the river bank. "What the Fuck?" Jon said as Kyoko got off the ledge with him.

The two could hear gunfire, explosions, echoing of thunder from Tokyo, followed by four giant spiraling towers made from fused metal, in four separate places of Tokyo City.

"Jon! S-=SHIT! The Necromancers have activated their failsafe! Them and their Technomancer buddies! The Necro's are summoning a horde! F-Fuck! And those Obelisk things are popping out! We're going to meet up with you guys, they're tearing the city apart!" Brody shouted over the comm through his ear device. "This has gone on long enough..." Kyoko said as she loaded her weapons. "I agree..." Jon said raising his hood over his head and drawing his glowing white two handed elder sword. The two stopped seeing four bright white beams of lights coming from the obelisks location in four different places in the city, going up in the sky, what ever the Necromancers were planning they were activating it.

Tsukune and Mizore made their way back to the lodge where the others were waiting, some of them had scornful eyes on Mizore for pulling that move on them. Luise was on Kasano's lap as they were sitting in front of a fire place on a nice comfy couch snuggling,

Kurumu flew right in the lodge as she was looking all over for Tsukune."Mizore!" She shouted as she landed right by Tsukune retracting her wings back in to her skin.

"Is there a problem?" Mizore asked with an innocent smile. Kurumu glared at Mizore as she clenched her fists tightly, though she calmed down when she looked at Tsukune. "Tsukune are you alright?" Kurumu asked Tsukune hugging him tightly. "Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry about it..." Tsukune said as he patted Kurumu on the head.

"Oh relax, all we did was snuggle up for warmth," Mizore said as she blushed shyly.

Kurumu shot a glare at the snow woman.

"Yet somehow I don't buy any of your BS," she said as she crossed her arms.

Kurumu turned her attention to Tsukune.

"Is it true? Did you guys really just snuggle?" She asked, hoping to get the truth from him.

Tsukune shook his head."I had breakfast at Mizore's home, and had a talk with her parents... especially the fact that her father was looming over me as Mizore's mom was having the 'talk' with me... that conversation got awkward real fast on both accounts for Mizore and I." Tsukune said to Kurumu about his meeting with Mizore's parents.

Kurumu gasped.

"Y-You mean... You guys were... Talking about... P-Possibly," she stammered.

Kurumu shot a glare at Mizore and gritted her teeth.

"You son of a-!" She exclaimed as she pounced on the snow woman, sparking an instant jostle between the pair. Tsukune got in between the two trying to stop them from trying to kill each other seeing as Kurumu though Mizore was cheating trying to get a baby in before she could."Kurumu, Mizore knock it off!" Tsukune exclaimed as his arms were keeping them at arms length from each other.

"Let me at her! Let me at her!" Yelled Kurumu. Tsukune felt a pull in the air as Michael appeared from moving through his means of teleporting. Alexis got up from her chair approaching Michael, as he approached her. "Alexis, I need to tell you something in our ancient dialect... it's that important." Michael said with Alexis nodding.

"Tokyo los neben iidah, faal Nahgahdinok lost bel feyal ol pruzah ol obelisks. .. . dii prustmun lost ahk bo, saraan fah ont daal wah mindaziir." (Tokyo is under attack, the Necromancers have summoned the horde as well as the obelisks... my apprentices have also arrived, they're waiting for us to return to the academy.) Michael whispered to Alexis causing her eyes to widen from what has just happened..

"Ruz mu kent regroup voth faal Wielders waan Nust los tul nau Gol." (Then we must regroup with the Wielders if they're still on Earth.)Alexis said to Michael as she was ready to charge in and break the enemy's spirits.

Tsukune while trying to listen in noticed Alexis had a Slavic accent when speaking in the ancient dialect. "Nid, mu kent sent voth prustmun diist. .. mu. .. Zu'u vis ni orlaav daar faazrot wah dii zoortah bo wah dii usliik prustmunro graad. .. nid nust kent mindok niidro zey, nuz daar los dii laat untak fah Tsukune ahrk vorey. " (No, we must deal with the apprentices first... we... I can not permit this insult to my legacy go to my former apprentices graves... no they must know it's me, but this is my final trial for Tsukune and the others.) Michael said to Alexis as she looked at Tsukune and the others that resided in the room, their final trial.

Alexis nodded quietly as she stood by the exit waiting for the others. "Alright, get your things together, we're heading back your final trial awaits at the academy..." Michael said to the warriors as he turned his back to them.

I did all I could, let's see if it matches up to the skill of my most elite apprentices.

U.S. Marine III Expeditionary Force/ On Route to Tokyo City...

Several M1126 ICV rolled through several dozen overturned vehicles. "900 meters out..." The driver announced as he was looking through the night vision cam. The lead driver's eyes widened seeing a stumbling object in the middle of the row. "Holy SHIT!" He exclaimed trying to swerve the Armored Carrier, striking the object causing the convoy to immediately halt in the black thick mist. "God Damn it... EVERYONE OUT!" The CO ordered to the enlisted Marines. The Carriers doors from the back of the ICV dropped letting the Marines in combat Marpat digital camo and gas masks with green lenses pour out of the vehicle brandishing their weapons with their laser pointers on.

"Corporal, check to see who we hit!" The Lt. Marine ordered the corporal of the squad. "Aye, Aye sir!" He responded rushing over to the downed object, the corporal looked seeing the blood trail on the asphalt, he winced hoping the ICV didn't hit a Civilian. "Fuck... please don't be a pedestrian.." He silently said with his voice muffled through the gas mask. The Corporal stopped seeing the object, his eyes narrowed down as he saw the grotesque looking figure. The Corporal crouched down moving his m4 under the Grunt's arm, lifting it up to see the talon. "What the fuck are you?" He said out, shocked to see this thing. "Corporal give me a sitrep!" The Lt. Marine yelled out.

"Sir, I don't know what the fuck we just hit, but it ain't human..." The Corporal yelled out, while several marine Humvees stopped. "What the fuck is the hold up?!" The driver yelled out sticking his head out of the door. Before the Lt. Marine could answer, a sgt's eyes widened as he saw a mass of object in front of the convoy. "Contacts 12 O CLOCK!" He yelled out to the Convoy on the comm channel. All eyes turned to the amassed figures barely visible by the black thick mist. Four red flares were fired up in the air temporarily lighting up the figures. Four skeletal cloaked master necromancers were in front of the horde of their creations. With in seconds the horde began to make a frenzied charge on the convoys position. "OPEN UP ON THEM!" The Lt. Marine ordered followed by a wave of ammunition being fired at the Necromancer's position, shredding several dozen waves as they began to slowly redirect the convoy out of the hordes path.

Several chained explosions cut across the convoy's path, forcing the row of vehicles to deviate off course, and split up from their formation. Two hundred meters above the convoy was a cloaked Technomancer gunship reloading its next payload while listening in to all the radio chatter trying to coordinate effectively with its forces to repel the Human Military intervention.

Tsukune and the others appeared by the gateway, as they made their way towards the academy, the sky had dark threatening storm clouds, it was raining and windy, through Moka's, Omote's, and Kokoa's training, the rain did not bother them as it was just a simple sizzle on their skin. Though besides from the threatening weather, something was off... there was a pull in the air, Tsukune, along with Kasano immediately picked up on it first. Michael stopped ahead of the group turning around to face them, which they immediately halted as well. His face shifted from his normal monotone look, to a small frown.

"At last you all have returned..." Dominic said to Michael, as lightning struck across the sky revealing the entire 74th Legion which was full of Michael's Elite Apprentices, behind him. Tsukune, Kasano, Kurumu, Mizore, Moka, Yukari, Ruby, Omote, Liz, Gin, Kokoa, and Luise's eyes widened.

"Finally the Phantom has shown himself! Let's kill them and be done with it!" Barvil announced to his comrades, many who drew their blades preparing to meet it with their foe.

The group had their eyes on Michael as he didn't even pay the Dark Guardians any attention."Your final Trial... beat them and you pass... if you fail you die..." Michael said to the others, who were in utter shock, as Michael turned around to face his apprentices. "HEAR ME! I SHALL PERMIT YOU TO FIGHT ME AFTER YOU FIGHT MY APPRENTICES!" Michael said to his Elite Apprentices. "It doesn't matter how you die, you're next you fraud!" Barvil announced while the Dark Guardians slowly approached. As Kasano and Alexis moved with the group, most of the Dark Guardians froze. "Kasano?! What are you doing over there?!" A Dark Guardian asked. Dominic was deeply disturbed if Kasano was following him... he either is Michael or... a very convincing fake.

Before Kasano was about to reply he felt Michael's hand grab on to his left shoulder, and at the same time grabbing Alexis's shoulder. "Not you two, I forbid you to fight them..." Michael stated, causing the two to look at him with absolute shock. "What?!" They both yelled at him utterly confused why he'd give such an order. "You can't be serious, they're going to need our help! Tsukune's my brother, and I'm not going to abandon him!" Kasano yelled at his father, causing a faint smile. "That's my boy..." Michael said calmly while keeping Alexis at bay. "You helped train him Alexis... you should remain behind, and that's an order I expect you to follow..." Alexis looked at Tsukune fearing for his safety as she sighed acknowledging Michael's command, Liz was also pulled from the group as he ordered her to observe and nothing else..

As the group began drawing their weapons and activating their abilities, the Dark Guardians stood proud with their weapons drawn. As the thunder shook the sky from a large lightning strike, Dominic charged first to meet Tsukune again, clashing his spear with Tsukune's sword. "Let's see how well you progressed, boy..." Dominic taunted while Tsukune kicked him back with a deadly force. Dominic skid back as he looked at Tsukune with concentration, disappearing in a flash Tsukune turned quickly to his right blocking the strike, then to his left, and right, repeating the process several dozen times, switching it twice to block several strikes from the sky, before he twirled around with his blade striking Dominic on the cheek catching him off guard.

"Impressive..." Dominic said to Tsukune, astonished that he blocked all that, while whistling in for the other Dark Guardians to move on the rest of his companions. "But it ends here..." He stated as the he re-engaged with Tsukune, drawing his short blade as well. Moka went against Two Dark Guardians wielding broadswords while Omote fired her Yumi bow at flanking warrior on Kokoa's right. Kurumu took to the skies moving very fast, fast enough to evade the Gravitational manipulations that many of the Dark Guardians used to try to get her down to their striking level, or they'd have to take to the skies as well. Gin hugged his form as his eyes concentrated turning from a golden color to a bright whitish blue as he immediately transformed in to his Elder Wolf Form roaring at the Dark Guardians.. "Elder watch it!" A Dark Guardian yelled out, while Ruby began summoning protective barrier spells for her friends. Mizore was trying to keep several Dark Guardians off her friends flanks as she was immediately in her ice armor turning the rain around her enemies into sharp arrow like objects.

Moka felt her level of energy increasing as a wave of energy exploded around her knocking several Dark Guardians back from grabbing a hold of her. Moka immediately used her deadly speed while she wielded her blood sword cutting several Dark Guardians in her way before she regrouped with Tsukune placing her back against his. The Dark Guardians that were wounded by Moka immediately got back up to face her, Kurumu looked at the mass of Dark Guardians slowly making their way to surround her friends, she took a deep breath and twirled in the air plummeting to the ground in a death spin striking the ground around the Elite Apprentices, causing a massive energy shockwave. Kasano summoned two blood daggers as his form's aura began to fluxiate, and Luise was by his left flank summoning golden electrical strikes.

As Tsukune and Dominic were in heated combat, Tsukune slowly began to push the advantage against Dominic forcing him on the defensive. Dominic was shocked, this was not the same inexperienced welp he fought in the past... this was a whole different person, confident, calm, and concentrated.

*SLASH!*

Dominic gasped as he was thrown off his feet from Tsukune's blade slashing across his chest the blood blade was engulfed in flames from interacting with foreign blood. Dominic fell into the mud hitting the ground hard, Michael's eyes concentrated on Tsukune as he brought his blade up motioning he was going to plunge it in Dominic's chest.

That a boy... do it...

Tsukune's crimson eyes locked on to Dominic as he maneuvered his blade down, though as his blade was about to strike Dominic, two Dark Guardians moved their swords to block Tsukune's execution, while throwing a pressurized electrical attack towards Tsukune, throwing him back. Dominic quickly got up, as he ascended to his next form... the Warlord's Rage form. Dominic's eyes turned blood red as his eyes dilated in a reptilian shape.

Kasano crossed his blades with his recon partner, Artemis Lokzii, she was in Dark Guardian attire with a hood raised and a black balaclava mask. "Kasano! What're you doing fighting for this phantom?!" She screamed forcing her two blades down against his. "He's not a phantom, he's real!" He exclaimed forcing her back while the two clashed their blades again.

"Come to your senses! This is a Guardian Council trick!" She yelled back kicking his chest while two other Dark Guardians got on her flank, to help her. Kasano was a feared member in the 74th Dark Legion for the Dark Guardian Council, and in the Crimson Dominion, he was known to get his missions done the fastest and with a high body count. Kasano looked at his father for a moment...

Father... I failed you once, I wasn't there when you were taken away from us... If I was there maybe I could've saved you... I'm not going to fail you this time.

Kasano let out a vicious roar, his aura exploding red as he charged the Dark Guardians causing them to quickly backup in fear, while each of them moved to their rage forms. Kokoa deadlocked her war hammer against several Dark Guardians. "I'M...GOING... TO...KNOCK YOUR HEADS IN!" She shouted pushing them back.

Kyoko was quickly sprinting with Jon in Tokyo city, as they were trying to link up with the others, it was chaos everywhere, Fire, explosions, and bodies... everywhere. "This is crazy! What happened to Cloak and dagger?!" She exclaimed vaulting over a small wall. "Desperation! They're trying to make their failsafe operation work... and so far it's working... though this tantrum they're throwing is bringing the Global attention... the secrecy of Earth is in danger..." Jon explained to Kyoko as he sliced a servant grunt in half, as it tried to sneak up on them. Kicking the corpse that was slowly falling apart the grunt was thrown forward falling in two halves.

Kyoko flinched seeing Jon's quick reaction."Gah!... What happens when that incident expands?!" She exclaimed firing off SOCOM handguns in to several Grunts. "…. We won't be able to cover this up!" Jon kicked a brute over a car wreckage. "H-How're you going to cover this up?!" She screamed tossing a frag grenade over the wreckage. "It wouldn't be the first time, a lot of energy in fixing memories!" Jon shouted as he got Kyoko down from the grenade. "You mean you did it before?!" She exclaimed, while he ducked from a ricochet bouncing off their cover. "Yeah Battle of Iwo Jima... Thomas, heh he slipped up using his powers as the chosen wielder... he's Matt's and T.K.'s Grandpa.. " Jon Informed Kyoko, punching a Serith out of the way of Kyoko, throwing another frag.

The two stopped quickly seeing a squad of Elite Necromancers, Kyoko pulled out her G-11, without aiming she began to suppress their position while moving towards cover as Jon followed her. "We don't have time to deal with these guys!" She yelled out, seeing they were trying to suppress the two with arcane attacks. The two shook as a rocket barrage from an U.S. Army Apache helicopter hit the Necromancer's position. "Huh... that was lucky..." Jon said as Kyoko nodded. "Wait... the U.S. Military is getting involved, Jon...What's going to happen now that they're finding out that these things are supernatural?" Kyoko asked Jon as he didn't know how to answer that.

"Kyoko... honest to God truth? I have no fucking idea... there is not going to be a cover up, Earth will be asking questions, and so will the known universe, what ever the Necromancers are doing with those Obelisks, isn't going to be good... Now come on we have to link up with the others..." Jon said while Kyoko nodded as she quickly followed him as Jon tried to zero in on their location.

Mizore and Kurumu were side by side trying to reach Tsukune as the two were covered in cuts and bruises. Kokoa was protecting her sister Omote as she provided Kokoa with ranged support with her yumi bow, the two were taking a serious beating. Ruby was on Gin's right flank while Yukari was on his left flank the two providing support and aggressive spells against their foes. Luise and Kasano pressed the advantage while Moka and Tsukune kept pressing forward in to the 74th Dark Legion. Tsukune was becoming frustrated as every time he came close to finishing off an elite, there would be another stopping him letting the other recover.

The Dark Guardians were proving to be not only well trained but an effective force to be reckoned with, Tsukune now realized that Michael was dead serious about them being trained as effective hunters. The outer circle of Dark Guardians began to arch several types of pressurized energy attacks with different elements, into the young fighters defensive perimeter, it was like looking at phantasia of destruction as it was flung in rhythm. Luise's spiritual senses felt that massive pull that was being hurled at them. "Ruby Shield!"

Ruby was quick to form a spiritual dome to deflect most of the projectiles but some hit the ground at their position. Kasano started to fall back while using his own energy to deflect the incoming bombardment from the 74th Dark Legion. A purple electrical pressurized energy blast hit the ground in between Kokoa and Omote throwing them off their feet and into the blood soaked mud as rain continued to pour down from the sky.

Tsukune's concentration broke as he saw the two hit the ground. Kurumu glared at the perimeter of Dark Guardians, she let loose a purple aura going outwards affecting their minds to the point where she temporarily stunned them, though it only helped for two seconds. Mizore helped Omote out of the mud, she was visibly shaking as she was still feeling the effect of the blast, Kokoa gritted her teeth getting out of the mud and tackling two Dark Guardians against a tree, forcing them through it. Another bombardment was launched the beautiful colors were mesmerizing as the lit up the ground before striking it, this time throwing Kurumu and Ruby off their feet shocked from the blast, the spiritual dome collapsed, Tsukune broke his concentration again getting cut and shocked several times.

Seeing Tsukune in pain Alexis gasped wanting to intervene as she tried to take a step forward, though Michael held her back.

Tsukune screamed out in rage as he threw his hands forward unleashing a deadly wave of electricity, shocking ten Dark Guardians and throwing them forward. Kasano threw his own wave of pressurized blasts in retaliation, his were faster and more accurate. "HERE IT COMES AGAIN!" Luise screamed out, as another wave of Pressurized energy blasts lit up the ground in an assortment of colors. Several detonations hit the young fighters defensive circle throwing them off their feet and in to the ground wounded and bleeding, Gin, Kokoa, Mizore, Moka, Tsukune, Kasano kept fighting as they tightened the circle around their friends to keep them back. The Dark Guardians were becoming wounded and tired though they kept pushing the advantage in tactics and power. Moka was hit on her left cheek, while she swung her blade in retaliation cutting a Dark Guardian's chest. Pressurized energy attacks with a fire element was thrown in the circle this time, Mizore fell to her knees as she took the brunt of the attack, clawing at the ground she found the will to stand up shaking her armor melted away, her skin covered in burns as she persisted, using the rain to heal herself. Kurumu went into overdrive expending her own energy to ward off enemy attacks while trying to slice her way to keep the circle protected.

Ruby got on her hands and knees before unsteadily getting to her feet trying to conjure a protective dome. Yukari bleeding from the lip and ears, got up trying to activate a healing spell to provide some relief to her friends. Omote with her energy barrier rising to match her other self got to her feet, she picked up a spear from the ground dropped by an enemy. Four Dark Guardians outside the Circle jumped up in the air, reeled their arms back and throwing it forward, throwing four different colored lights at them. Red, Blue, Green, and Gold. The bright lights emitting from the energy struck the ground hitting their position. As the smoke cleared both Tsukune and Kasano were breathing heavily as they erected a dome themselves to protect the others though they got hit with the attack first, the two bleeding heavily most of their open wounds quickly scabbed from the heat of the energy. "There... there is just no end!" Kurumu shouted while kicking a female Dark Guardian wielding two daggers back.

Tsukune's eyes widened... was this their fate? To die by their final trial? Everytime he came close to killing one, another two prevented it, they did this at least a hundred times, to the point where it was wearing him down. The Dark Guardians took a beating too, cycling their wounded giving them a moment for their backup system to heal their wounds while the untouched ones would face them. Kasano grabbed a hold of Luise as she fell against him, her arms bleeding. Tsukune didn't know how long they lasted, it was more than an hour. The group huddled even closer, shoulder to shoulder, back to back, as the Dark Guardians lowered their weapons aiming at them as they inched closer. Moka looked at Tsukune, followed by Kurumu, Omote, Ruby, Yukari, Mizore, and Kokoa. Tsukune held his blade in defiance... he'd die before they got to them.

*CLAP... CLAP... CLAP... CLAP... CLAP*

Tsukune's eyes widened seeing Michael... clapping... who was he applauding? "Well done... You passed." Michael said as he moved forward ceasing his clapping. "P-passed?" Tsukune choked out, while the Dark Guardians turned their attention to Michael ignoring the young fighters they fought. "One on one, you'd been able to annihilate your foe Tsukune... though since all of you were fighting them in such numbers... I knew you wouldn't been able to kill them in a group, they'd block you from making the killing blow... but to survive such odds... there is no doubt you'd have a fighting chance in the war to come..." Michael explained. "Though I seen enough, and I'm impressed, though it's time to end this..." Michael said to them as he looked at his Elite apprentices. "We couldn't agree more, time to die Phantom!" Barvil shouted as the Dark Guardians moved on Michael's position. Michael's eyes widened as they lit up a bright white blue. He held up his hand throwing a pressurized blast at the Elite apprentices throwing them back. The ground shook as lightning from the sky intensified and the winds picked up. Behind Michael in the black thick stormy clouds, was a silhouette of a very large Dragon. Holding out his right hand he unleashed a deadly torrent of Lightning strikes from his palm striking the apprentices and throwing them to ground, while they threw their own assortment of elemental attacks.

Michael threw back all elemental attacks redirecting his own attacks with them. Several of the hard hitters charged on Michael's position trying to flank him, their blades drawn. Michael quickly drew his Elder Dragon Blade, deflecting their attacks and knocking them back, Their eyes widened as the blade he wielded was definitely Michael's. Michael tossed the blade up and struck it with lightning from the sky letting loose a barrage of lightning strikes to hit the ground. Michael inhaled a large intake of air, before letting loose a mighty roar that shattered the very ground and skies. "AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The voice was mind numbing as it sent many off their feet or to their knees. The light of the moon broke through the clouds, as Michael dispelled the storm, his eyes going back to his black iris as he calmed down, The 74th Dark Legion in awe... shocked as the slowly rose to their feet, just staring at Michael as light rain poured down from the night sky. Dominic dropped both his Short sword and spear, followed by the pattern being repeated more and more weapons dropped, as the Dark Guardians slowly approached Michael.

One of the female Dark Guardians moved her right hand to feel Michael's face, she could feel the raw power pouring from his form, she gasped in shocked then immediately grabbed Michael hugging him and crying in to his cloak, the 74th moved as they couldn't believe it... their master had returned, their founder, their leader...

Barvil kneeled down before his master, bowing his head down in shame as he believed him to be a fraud. Alexis quickly healed Tsukune and the others, as they made their way towards Michael. "Dad... that was... amazing." Kasano said to Michael, while the 74th's eyes widened hearing that as they looked at Kasano. "Kasano?... You're... You're the son of Michael? You have the blood of the Elder?" Dominic asked, as he was truly shocked that Kasano was Michael's son by blood.

"It is true Dominic, my blood courses through his veins...My heir... and hopefully my successor..." Michael confirmed it, while praising Kasano aiming him to be his successor. "And this young warrior as well... Tsukune Aono... without him, I'd never been able to return to the world of the living... one of my greatest apprentices I could ever train.." Michael gave Tsukune a soft smile. "Him and because of this Woman... Alexis Veelra... she kept my soul safe in a soul gem, keeping me alive spiritually.." Michael exposed his savior, the very person who they thought was an enemy. "But she's apart of-"

"No she's was a undercover agent that was working for me, to be my eyes and ears with in the Guardian Council, to keep me updated secretly." Michael exposed Alexis's role and true allegiance. "Listen all of you... you were all deceived, the Guardian War is a farce! I was used as a Martyr to ignite this war! Ash was the one to deceive the Guardian Council into believing we murdered the first Wielders... he lured you all in with the promise of retribution against those who have wronged us... and as we speak more and more of us, Guardians and Dark Guardians, protectors of the Wielders are dying! Earth is under siege from the Necromancer menace... we will be traveling to Tokyo City to put an end to their schemes, you must return to the Second Earth and spread the word quietly that I have returned... I will deal with Ash shortly... though if we do not hurry, we fall closer and closer to the Great Darkness's final plan!" Michael spoke to his apprentices.

One by one, the Crimson Dragon insignia's were torn off their cloaks and clothing, as they were done being under command of Ash. Michael turned to the others, as his apprentices were about to depart quickly for the Second Earth. "I do believe it's time we met the Wielders... and their Guardians." Michael spoke to the group as he waved his hand in front of them healing them of their wounds and ailments.

The Founder stood in a large circular room with a large black orb in the middle of the room's floor, revealing only half of it, while the other half was underneath the floor. "My lord, it is done... the Obelisks are powering up as we speak... the curtain will be shattered with in the day's end." The Founder spoke to the orb.

A Dark howling wind could be heard as a red light began to appear in the orb followed what looked to be storm clouds in it.
