Disclaimer: I do not own High School DxD or the Fairy Tail Elements
Hey guys, back with a new chapter. Sorry it took quite long, but a lot has happened in my life. And I mean a lot.
I've also decided to stop putting in the music into the fanfics. It seems too much of a hassle, and I don't want it to be delayed any longer than it should be.
Alright, I'm sure all of you are confused by the fact that Yorokobi is in the DxD universe. There is a reason, which I forgot to put in. You see, even though that Yorokobi was an Exceed meant to go to Earthland, a glitch in the system occurred, and sent him to the DxD universe. And he was the only one.
Are you satisfied? Cause I'm about to start the story!
Chapter 4: The Kyoto Arc - Part 2
After flying high through the skies, courteous of Yorokobi, they've decided to let Yorokobi rest his wings. After all, he did have to carry two people, and that takes effort. As of right now, Yorokobi was resting on Terra's shoulder, while looking exhausted. Where they stopped was at the outer reaches of town.
"Ha...ha...ha..." Yorokobi panted, as he lied on Terra's shoulder, looking dead tired. Terra simply patted his friend's head in thanks.
"Thanks Yorokobi. You've done enough work, so take a good rest." Terra told him. Yorokobi didn't say anything, but just put up his paw up in the air. He then turned to Leone.
"Well, we won't be able to travel in air for a while. Hope your fine with walking." Terra said Leone. Leone just shrugged at it.
"I don't mind. But I did enjoy the ride that you gave me. Never pegged you as the type to sweep a lady off her feet, if you know what I mean." Leone playfully elbowed Terra's arm. Terra simply blinked at her words and actions.
"What do you mean? I had to carry you if I wanted to take you into the sky." Terra said to her. Leone simply blinked at this, and then gave a sigh.
"Never mind." Leone said, and looked off to the side. "Why do all the cute guys have to be so dense?" Leone muttered underneath her breath.
"What about guys?" Terra asked, hearing a bit of her words.
"Nothing." Leone shook of the subject real quick. She then looked around, trying to find anything suspicious.
"...If I were a man who wanted war, where would I hide...?" Leone asked herself, as she looked around. Terra reached into his pocket, and took out a cloth. He then gave it a good smell. Leone noticed on what he was doing, and grew a confused and curious look.
"What are you doing?" Leone asked. Terra gave one last sniff to the cloth, before pocketing it. He turned to Leone.
"I smelled this cloth that was from Gardos's men. Taking in this scent will help me track down where the men are hiding." Terra told her. Leone looked at him with surprise.
"Wow. I didn't think a human could have a sensitive nose. I thought Youkai and other specific species could do that. Speaking of which, could you hand me that? I also have a rather strong nose." Leone asked. Terra nodded at her, and handed her the cloth.
"Well, most humans couldn't anyway. But for me, I was raised and trained in a special way." Terra told her, as he watched Leone take in the scent of the cloth. As she did, she gave him a raised eyebrow.
"Oh? And who trained and raised you to have such a strong nose, as well as this supposed power you have?" Leone asked with a curious look on her face. Terra just shrugged at that question
"My old man. He's a dragon who taught me how to use magic." Terra simply told her. Leone looked at him with surprise.
"You were raised by a dragon!?" Leone asked surprised. Terra nodded at her.
"Yep. Raised me and taught me the magic I need to survive. Also kind of enhanced my physical senses. Not sure why, but I'll take what I have." Terra said to her, and sniffed the air around them. As soon as he finished sniffing, Terra frowned.
"The scene is a bit everywhere. I've manage to get a good scent off of the goons that I've managed to subdue, but that type of scent is everywhere. They really did scatter and cover their tracks." Terra said, as he continued to sniff the air. Leone nodded at him.
"Yeah. The scent is a bit scattered. But wait. If the scent is scattered, doesn't that usually mean...?" Leone asked in realization. Terra nodded at her.
"Yeah, that's what I thought to. Scents are usually fresh, and fade away after some time. This scattered scent is evident that they were around..." Terra said, and begun walking around the area they were in, with Leone following in tow.
As they walked, Leone decided to bring up a conversation.
"Hey, I'm kind of curious Terra. Are you by chance a humanoid dragon? Since you said that your father is a dragon?" Leone asked. Terra shook his had at her, showing it was a "no".
"Nah. I'm not a dragon. The old man was like a father to me in a bonding sense, you know?" Terra said, as he folded his arms behind his head. Leone looked at him with an intrigued expression.
"I see. Wait, then what about your biological parents?" Leone asked. Terra once again just shrugged at her.
"Never meet or knew them. All I do know is that I was raised in an orphanage, went out to the forest on my own at a young age, and was taken in by my old man." Terra summarized it up for her, with no hurt in it at all. It sounded more like "They're gone. I'm just going to accept the reality" tone when he said it through his mouth.
"O-Oh..." Leone said, realizing that she brought up a personal question, as well as bringing an awkward atmosphere. Well, at least for her. For Terra, he was just neutral about it.
The two were silent as they walked throughout the outer district of Kyoto. As they did, the blonde woman decided to bring up another topic.
"So, um...what type of magic to you use?" Leone asked, thinking it was a best time to bring up another topic. Terra blinked once again at her question, before just shrugging it off and decided to go with it.
"I use Earth Dragon Slayer Magic." Terra told her. Leone became surprised and confused as she heard him say this.
"Earth Dragon Slayer Magic?" Leone asked. Terra nodded at her.
"Basically, I have a powerful magic that allows me to utilize and manipulate the element of earth. This type of magic also has enough power to slay a dragon itself." Terra told her. Leone looked at with with an impressed look.
"Wow. Color me impressed. I guess being raised by a dragon wasn't just for show." Leone said, as she folded her arms underneath her breast, which unknowingly caused it to rise.
"It wasn't. Now I have a question as well. What type of abilities do you have?" Terra asked her. Leone bilked at him with surprise, and then smiled to him and herself.
"Glad you asked. We Shishi's are known for our physical and combat prowess. We also have a natural affinity of utilizing Touki, a type of senjutsu that helps further our combat skills." Leone told him, which made him gave an "oh" at it.
"That's cool..." Terra said to her.
As the two kept searching around the area, they felt as if they're getting closer and closer to the source of the scent. As the two looked around, they noticed that there are fewer Youkai around. In fact, the streets seem a bit barren.
"This is strange..." Leone mumbled. "Even though we're on the outer reaches of our area, there should be more Youkai than this..."
"So you've noticed the small number to?" Terra asked, as they looked around the barely filled Youkais in the area. In fact, the youkais here are only just homeless, or just poverty stricken. They all sat around, lazing about.
"Even though there are some here, there should be more people here..." Leone mumbled. She then looked at Terra.
"I'm getting the feeling that this place makes it more suspicious than ever." Leone told him. Terra nodded at her.
"I agree. But we should be more careful. The enemy might be watching our movements, and we're right out in the open." Terra told her, as he looked around him, and sniffed the air. The scent was still everywhere, so it was hard to tell.
'...But first...' Terra thought, and decided to take another course of action. Looking around, he found a small alley that seems to be able to hide from public eye.
"Follow me." Terra said immediately, as he walked into the alley. Leone blinked at him with surprise, and followed him.
"Hey. What's with the sudden change and order?" Leone asked with curiosity. Terra didn't say anything but continue to the alley. As soon as they reached a dead end, he immediately looked around, and sniffed the air. After looking around for a few moments, he decided to do it now.
"Terra...? Ep!" Leone squeaked in surprise when Terra suddenly put his arms around her. He then whispered his spell.
"Earth Dragon's Tunnel" Terra whispered, as a magic circle appeared underneath the both of them, and they sank into the ground. Leone looked at this spell with surprise, and her eyes widened in surprise on seeing that they were underground now.
"Are we underground...?" Leone asked herself, while she looked around. Terra could only nod at her
"We are. All thanks to my spell." Terra told her. "This spell allows me to go under ground, as well as creating an underground network."
Leone whistled at this. "I guess Earth Magic really is your thing."
"It is." Terra told her, and touched the wall of the tunnel, and closed his eyes.
"Earth Dragon's Echolocation" Terra said, as he begun to feel the vibration of the surrounding earth. He concentrated on the vibration patterns around him, and tried to find whatever seems to be suspicious. Meanwhile, Leone just looked at him with a confused expression.
"...Terra?" Leone asked. It was then Yorokobi decided to explain.
"What Terra is doing is that he is feeling the vibrations on the earth. He then has to analyze the vibrations around him, and uses these vibrations to locate people. That's what I've been explained to by Terra. Hey, Terra. Did I get that right?" Yorokobi asked, turning his gray head to Terra.
"Yeah, you did." Terra said, as he opened his eyes, and took his arm off the wall. He then turned to Leone.
"Well, I've been feeling a large number of vibrations not too far from here. I think it's best if we check it out." Terra said to her. Leone nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. You're right." Leone said to him. The two nodded at each other, and begun walking to their location. As they did, Leone decided to bring up a question.
"Hey, I've just noticed something." Leone asked. Terra didn't take his eyes off in front of him, as the two kept walking.
"What is it?" Terra asked.
"Before we entered this tunnel, you just embraced me. Why is that?" Leone asked with a curious tone. Terra blinked at this and stopped, and turned to Leone.
"...Excuse me?" Terra asked. Leone just gave him a raised eyebrow.
"Why did you hug me? Not that I'm complaining." Leone asked him, while giving him a playful smirk at him, as she eyed his arms. Terra just scratched the back of his head, while he looked away.
"Well, my spell usually takes one person in. However, more people can enter underground with me. Though, I need to have physical contact with them. I needed to embrace you, in order to make the spell less difficult for the both of us. If I touched you by the shoulder, sinking into the ground will last a bit longer." Terra explained to her, and then glanced at her.
"Erm...sorry for the sudden contact." Terra apologized to her, but Leone shook her head.
"No, it's okay. I didn't mind. Really." Leone told him with a smile. Terra blinked at her, but then shrugged.
"Alright. Then let's go." Terra said, as the two continued to walk to the large vibrations that Terra sensed.
(Kyoto - Outside Youkai Faciton)
Meanwhile, while Terra and Leone search for Gardos men, another person was working behind the scenes. And this person was a certain blonde gothic-lolita Fallen Angel free through the city of Kyoto with boredom etched onto her face.
"Sheesh, I can't believe Terra set me up for look out duty..." Mittelt whined as she flew through the air. She soon landed on the roof of a building. She looked around with a bored expression on her face.
"I mean, it's important to have look out, but why me?" Mittelt complained. She then sat down, and dangled her legs on the edge of the roof, and looked down with boredom etched upon her.
"Well, at least this kills doing nothing. A better way to pass time..." Mittelt said to herself. As soon as she said that, she heard a noise somewhere.
*THUD*
She heard a loud thud somewhere, and she immediately turned her head towards the source. As she did, her eyes widened. Just in the alley that she was above and near, she saw a rather large truck, and a couple of shady looking people. Said people were loading important shipments onto it. She then heard them arguing with each other.
"Will you be careful!? You almost broke that!" shouted out of the shady people.
"Well sorry! While you're just busy acting like a big-shot supervisor, I'm actually getting physical shit done!"
"Well someone has to keep things in check!"
"That's just an excuse, and you know it!"
The two people just kept arguing with each other, bantering over who knows that. Mittelt simply blinked, and listened in a bit closer to their conversation. As soon as the argument ended, she heard the two people go back into conversation.
"So, is everything in check?" asked the shady looking guy. His companion nodded at him.
"Yeah. We got the weapon stocked inside this truck. I gotta say, this weapon was actually hard to get, yet easy to aqquire." the guy said.
"What do ya mean by that?" asked the other guy.
"Well, for starters, this type of weapon is some sort of spider like machine, capable of destruction. Technology like this is hard to get. But fortunately, our dealer was able to provide this." the guy said, as he slammed the trunk of the truck.
"And who is this dealer?" the guy asked. The other guy just shrugged.
"Don't know. Though, I did hear him mention something about Fallen Angel, and this Kokabiel guy. I don't know, that what I could hear him through his mumblings."
"!" was Mittlets surprised reaction towards the conversation. Her mind was going haywire right now.
'Kokabiel-sama!? You mean he is actually supporting this kind of thing!? What kind of monster is...wait. That was a stupid question to ask myself...' Mittelt thought, and face palmed at her thoughts. She gave a frustrated sigh, seeing that Kokabiel is up to his tricks to trigger something bad. Her eyes narrowed, and stood up from her spot. She listened a bit more, before she could move in.
"Seriously? Why would a Fallen Angel help aid in our rebellion against Yasaka?" the guy asked with disbelief.
"Don't know and don't care. As long as we overthrow her, and have Gardos-sama take over, then I ain't complaing." the other guy said.
"I suppose you're right." the other guy said, and started to move to the truck. As they did, Mittelt started her move.
"Well...boredom killed. Let's have some fun..." Mittelt said with a smirk, while forming a Spear of Light in her hand.
(Kyoto Youkai Faction - Underground)
As the three reached their destination, Terra stopped at their location. He placed his hand, and felt the vibrations going around him. They were stronger, meaning that they were here.
"It seems like the place." Terra said, taking his hand off the wall. He then walked to another spot, and gestured Leone to come to him. Leone did as she was told, but with a raised eyebrow.
"So did we reach the place?" Leone asked. Terra nodded at her question.
"Yeah, we did. Though, we underneath the building. It's better if we're outside their base. And I found the perfect spot." Terra told her. He then held out his hand to her.
"You better grab on. We're going above the surface." Terra told her. Leone blinked at the hand, and realized that Terra needs physical contact to bring her out. Leone just gave inward smirk, and instead just chose to hug him instead, which surprised him. Leone slightly blushed as she felt his body press against hers, not that Terra noticed.
"L-Leone?" Terra said, surprised by these actions. Leone just gave him a teasing smile.
"Aww, what's the matter? You don't like getting hugged by a girl like me?" Leone teased with a smile. Terra shook his head at her.
"It's not that. I was just surprised that you chose to hug me, instead of holding my hand to bring you out." Terra told her. Leone just pouted at him.
"Aw, you're no fun..." Leone said to him. Terra just rolled his eyes at her, and undid his spell and headed towards the surface. As soon as they did, they were in a small alley, with two buildings next to them. These said buildings were rather large, and looked like warehouses meant for something.
"Guess this is the place." Terra said, looking around him.
"You mean a warehouse in the outskirts of the area is possibly where Gardos is hiding?" Leone said. "Gee, how come we never thought of that?"
"I don't know. Maybe its because they've managed to stay under the radar." Terra told her, which made Leone just sigh at this.
"Yeah..." Leone said, and noticed a window nearby.
"Hey, let's look through here. We might find something here." Leone said, as she looked through the window, as did Terra. They peeked inside, and their eyes widened upon seeing on what they saw.
Inside the large warehouse were a large number of youkai, dressed in the same green uniforms that Terra dealt with back at the library. They were all lined up, and were standing straight up, looking like they were listening to something. It was then a figure stepped in front of them, and stepped onto the spotlight.
The figure appeared to be a a man with rather large and plump clothing. He had light brown baggy pants, a puffy black robe on him, and wore a dark green coat on him. He had a pointy nose, dark-purple like skin, and shoulder length wavy purple hair. He had some cylindrical dark green hat on him. But the most distinctive features on him was the crow-like wings on his back.
While Terra didn't recognize the man, he heard Leone gasp in surprise. He immediately turned to her.
"You recognize that guy?" Terra asked. Leone nodded at him with a serious expression.
"Yeah. That guy we're looking at is Gardos." Leone told him, which made Terra raise in eyebrow.
"That's the guy that's in charge of this?" Terra asked. Leone nodded at him. Terra took a closer look at Gardos, and commented on something.
"Geez, talk about baggy clothing..." Terra commented. This made Leone sweat drop at him.
"You seriously commented on his clothes, rather than him himself?" Leone asked with a dead panned look. Terra just shrugged at her.
"Well, we can't really do anything out of this moment, so why not make light of this situation?" Terra asked. Leone just sighed at him. Before they could continue talking, they heard Gardos speak
"My followers! Are you all present!?" shouted Gardos, as his voice echoed throughout the warehouse.
"Yes Gardos-sama!" shouted out all of the youkai within the facility. Gardod nodded at him.
"Good! We can now begin the meeting!" Gardos shouted, as he cleared his throat.
"As of right now, we have been discovered. One of our men has either leaked information, or has been capture for the information. As such, that women and her followers are cautious and aware of our movements." Gardos shouted out to them, which caused unease to the youkai in the room, as they whispered to each other.
"However!" Gardos shouted out to the youkai, which caused them to stop talking. "This will not stop us from proving that we Youkai are superior to all races, as well as proving that women shouldn't be in a leading position! It is completely and utterly ridiculous and foolish!" Gardos shouted out to the youkai, to which they voiced out in agreement.
"Geez, Gardos is still sexist as always..." Leone whispered, to which made Terra and Yorokobi nod in agreement with her.
"That is why...we'll take action now!" Gardos told the rest of the men, which surprised them. "We have waited too far long for this faction to be lead by a women! For too long, have we Youkai been looked down upon other races. For too long, have we just sat here and done nothing. We gathered up our followers, as well as gathering and strengthening ourselves. So I ask you this! Are you ready to change the world!?" Gardos shouted out to the men.
"YES!" all of the youkai shouted out in agreement, as well as raising their fist in agreement. Gardos once again nodded at them.
"Good to see that! Now, we will now discuss the strategies to overcome the empire! And I have the perfect plans!" Gardos said, as he begun rolling out a scroll, and began discussing strategy to the youkai in the room. As they did, Terra and Leone left the window, and crouched.
"You know, if he weren't such a prick, he would actually make a good politician..." Terra commented. Leone just sighed at him.
"I suppose. But he is that way, and we must stop him." Leone told him.
"Right. And this is bad. We must tell Yasaka-sama of this right away." Terra told her, to which made Leone nod at him, but then frowned.
"But by the time we get to Yasaka, they probably set out and mobilized already, and may cause chaos within the Youkai Faction." Leone said to him, which made Terra frown as well.
"Yeah. And considering that Yorokobi doesn't have the energy to carry the both of us back to the palace, getting there by foot is going to take a long one." Terra told her.
"Yeah. We need a way to stop those men by ourselves. But as much as I have confidence in my abilities, the two of us can't take Gardos and his men alone." Leone said, while frowning upon this. She then clenched her fist.
"Damn, and just when we thought we had the upper hand." Leone said. However, Terra merely gave a small smile at her.
"No, I still think we do have the upper hand." Terra told her, which made her eye widened in surprise.
"R-Really?" Leone asked, supplied by this. "How?"
"I can assume that most of Gardos men are here, since this meeting is important and all. So they're all in one spot, which makes it perfect to take them down at once." Terra told her, which made her raise an eyebrow.
"So how are we going to take them down?" Leone asked, as she remembered all the men inside the warehouse.
"Like this." Terra simply said, as he planted a magic circle on the wall of the building. A few seconds passed by, and he finally released his hand from the wall, and had the magic circle planted on the wall. Terra then gathered magic into his hands, and charged up for a few seconds.
"Terra...?" Leone asked, confused on what he was doing. It was then that Terra finished charging up the energy within his hand.
"Earth Dragon's Shatter Force!" Terra shouted out, as he punched the magic circle dead on in center. As soon as he did, the magic circle and glowed. And what it did completely surprised Leone.
*CRACK!*
A few cracks appeared, on the wall, but it soon started to grow, and more cracks appeared more on the wall. It kept growing and growing, as it completely surrounded the entire building. Soon, the entire building had cracks all over it, and soon collapsed in on itself.
*BOOM!*
Just like that, Terra and Leone just stood in front of the rubble of what used to be the warehouse, with Leone looking completely surprised this. She slowly turned to Terra with wide eyes.
"...Did you just break the entire building with a single punch!?" Leone asked, shocked by this. All Terra did was pull back his fist, flexed it, and nodded.
"...Yep. All thanks to a single spell." Terra said without any care.
"Wait, you mean that spell you did cracked the building?" Leone asked in surprise. Terra nodded at her.
"Yeah. Earth Dragon's Shatter Force is a rather powerful spell. Well, not very effective against living organisms, but it does have its uses." Terra told her, which made her blink in confusion.
"Living organisms?" Leone asked. Terra nodded at her.
"This spell is specifically meant for structures or objects that is composed of earth materials, be it concrete or rock." Terra told her. "However, the larger the object, the more it takes time to charge. Hence, it took me a few moments to charge up and destroy this building. This spell will guarantee the shatter of earth objects." Terra told her.
"So this is the power of a magic that has the ability to slay a dragon..." Leone mumbled, while looking at Terra in a new light. She then turned to the rubble in front of them.
"So are they going to be okay, or...?" Terra asked. Leone turned to the rubble as well.
"Well, as far as I figure, the rubble is probably just trapping them underneath. It didn't kill them, but they'll be stuck there for a while until the forces arrive and take them in." Leone answered him
"...Well that's a relief to hear." Terra said, as he folded his arms behind his head.
"Well, mission accomplished. Let's go and-" was else Terra was going to say was interrupted, as noises were made.
*BOOM!*
"!" were the three surprised reactions. They immediately turned to the source, and their eyes widened upon seeing who popped out of the rubble.
It was none other than Gardos. And he looked pissed.
Garodos just shook off the rubble, and turned his hear around to see who was there. As soon as his eyes set on Terra, Leone, and Yorokobi, he glared at them.
"You...!" Gardos said to them with a furious tone.
"Sup?" Terra said to Gardos, while giving a two finger greeting to him. Leone immediately went into battle stance, having her paws up in front of her.
"Did you do this!? Did you trap my men underneath this rubble!? Along with me in it!?" Gardos asked them.
"I did." Terra said without any fear in it. "I was expecting you to be trapped in there as well, but I guess expectations can't be met." Terra responded. Gardos turned to Leone, and sneered at her.
"Oh? And you brought a women with you to help you? So much for calling yourself a man." Gardos said to Terra, while looking at Leone with contempt. Leone just narrowed his eyes at him.
"And you're still the egotistical bastard you are..." Leone commented. Gardos just narrowed his eyes at them.
"You will not prevent me from achieving what is right for the youkai. For too long, we've been looked down upon. I just want to prove how superior we are. What's wrong with that?" Gardos asked them. Terra narrowed his eyes when he heard him say that
"What's wrong with that is that you'll involved endless bloodshed and lives lost over for what? Just pride? Blood is shed, all because of one petty emotion?" Terra said back to Gardos. Leone nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. Even though we're proud of being Youkai, we will not let that pride to lead us to endless bloodshed and pointless deaths." Leone agreed with Terra. Gardos just glowered at them.
"Fools! What you're spouting out is utter nonsense! For you to submissive under the the illusion of what you're saying!" Gardos shouted out to them. "I see no point in continuing this conversation! I will show you the errors of your ways!" Gardos shouted out, as his wings spread out, and flapped him into the air. Terra and Leone just went into fighting stance.
"Looks like we'll be doing things the hard way..." Terra said, as he cracked his knuckles.
"But that's what make things exciting!" Leone said with a smirk, as she reader her lion like claws.
The two then charged in on the Tengu that was before them.
"Begone!" Gardos bellowed out, as he flapped his wings and sent out a powerful gust towards them. Terra then slammed his fist onto the ground as the wind came towards them.
"Earth Dragon's Protective Wall!" Terra shouted out, as he produced an earth wall in front of them, successfully shielding them from powerful gust. However, Terra noticed the gust to be quite strong, as it showed to have immense pressure on the wall, leading to a few cracks.
"So that's how strong the wind is..." Terra muttered. His wall's durability is than can rival steel, but for the wind to have immense pressure on it. It looks like the enemy Terra is facing is no push over. Terra then summoned multiple magic circles around him.
"Earth Dragon's Iron Rock Arms!" Terra exclaimed, as multiple arms of earth popped out of the ground, and headed towards Gardos. Gardos saw the incoming arms, and dodged them. Though narrowly. As the tengu kept evading the arms incoming from multiple directions, he failed to notice that someone was riding on one of the arms. As soon as he noticed the presence, he turned his head, only to find Leone in approaching him with fist pulled back.
"Surprise!" Leone shouted out, as she sent a powerful Touki-infused punch to Gardos. Gardos immediately blocked with his wings, but grunted in pain impact was powerful. This force sent the tengu flying to the ground.
"NRGH!" Gardos grunted out, as he stopped himself in the air before hitting the ground. He growled, and formed wind within his hands, and took the form of sharp blades. He then threw the wind blades towards Leone.
"Die!" Gardos shouted out, as he threw the wind projectiles. Leone's eye widened at the incoming projectiles and prepared herself for the attack. But help came from Terra.
"Earth Dragon's Sand Defense!" Terra shouted out, as he produced sand from his magic circle, and the san immediately compressed together. This compressed sand went in front of Leone, and shielded her from the wind blades. As soon as he successfully managed to block the attack, he then separated the compressed sand, and formed it into something else.
"Earth Dragon's Sand Bullets!" Terra exclaimed, as the sand then formed into multiple bullets and shot forward to Gardos. Gardos just took out a sword that he had with him, and began to deflect the bullets that were coming towards him. However, the myriad of bullets managed to bypass his deflection, and some managed to pierce or graze the winged man.
"Gah!" Gardos grunted in pain, as the myriad of bullets were coming on him. Soon, the spell finished, thus ending the assault. Gardos just spread out his wings once more, and began twirling around.
"Face a Tengu's wrath!" Gardos shouted out, as he begun a small tornado around him, which begun to pick up or blow away everything in its wake. Terra saw this coming towards them, and immediately got close to Leone.
"Earth Dragon's Earth Dome!" Terra shouted out, as he fastly created a dome of earth around them, shielding them and preventing them from getting blown away by the attack. Leone noticed the earth dome protecting them from the attack, and gave an impressed whistle.
"Wow. For this earth dome to protect us from a Tengu's wind. I'm impressed." Leone said. Terra blinked at her.
"Tengu's wind? You mean this type of wind is a stronger variety of wind?" Terra asked. Leone nodded at him.
"Like my race's utilization of Touki, the Tengu has wind. An almighty wind that has a powerful force to blow things away before them." Leone told him, to which made Terra nod at her.
"Yeah. Usually, my earth magic is hard to crack. But for his wind to put immense pressure on mine. That's what I call strong." Terra said, as undid the spell around them as soon as they felt no pressure on his earth dome. As soon as the dome came down, they saw the sight of Gardos standing there with sword in hand, and a scowl on his face.
"Tch. Annoying, all of you." Gardos said to the, as he prepared his sword. His sword was soon swirling with wind energy, and prepared to slash. Terra and Leone immediately went in on the Tengu.
"Slash!" Gardos roared out, as he swung his sword and sent out multiple sharp wind projectiles at them. Leone immediately turned to Terra, to which he nodded.
"Earth Dragon's Sand Defense!" Terra shouted out, as sand shielded them once more. Terra soon undid the spell, as he and Leone just closed in on the man. Gardos just gave an annoyed "tch" at them, and soon spread his wings to fly again. However, he felt something grab onto his feet. He looked down, and his eyes widened upon seeing what happened to him. His feet were stuck in the ground, with sand swallowing his feet and up to his ankles.
"What the-!?" Gardos shouted out, caught off by guard. Terra merely smirked at him.
"While you were busy doing your attacks and standing in one place, I've converted the ground underneath you into sand, and trap you into it! Like it? I call it Earth Dragon's Quicksand!" Terra shouted out, as he then pulled back his fist, as did Leone. Leone charged up her fist with Touki, while Terra charged up his attack with magic and earth.
"Hah!" Leone gave a battle cry she sent forward her fist.
"Fist of the Earth Dragon!" Terra shouted out, as his fist became encased with earth.
*BAM!*
Both fist met dead center of Gardos chest, which made Gardos cough up blood from the attack.
"GAH!" the Tengu coughed up blood as he felt the massive impacts on his chest, and was soon sent flying from the spot. He was sent flying backwards, and soon crashed into the buildings. Yes, I said buildings. He was sent flying through multiple buildings, and soon stopped on the umpteenth building. The tengu slid down to the ground, while he was writing in pain.
Terra and Leone was still in fighting position, still being cautious of him. But Leone decided to ask.
"You think he's done?" Leone asked. Terra took a good look at Gardos, and shook his head.
"No. The crow is still kicking." Terra said, as he saw Gardos shakily stood up, while clutching onto his chest. He breathed heavily at them.
"Ha...Ha...Ha..." Gardos breathe heavily at them. "You think you won...but it's not over! Not till I'm dead on the ground!" Gardos roared out, as he spread his wings once more, and picked up his sword. He then channeled enormous amounts of energy into his sword, and pointed it at Terra and Leone.
"Normally, this attack would damaged the entire surrounding area. But I'll make this an exception, and have you best blown away by this. Be honored boy!" Gardos shouted out, as energy on his sword began building up more and more. Leone's eyes widened at seeing this.
"This is not good!" Leone said, alarmed by this. "That attack will end up not only blowing us away, but damage a huge section of this area! And there are innocents here!" Leone exclaimed, and turned to Terra.
"You got some plan?" Leone immediately asked. Terra said nothing, but nodded at her.
"I do. If you're fighting a powerful force..." Terra said, as he clasped two of his hands, and formed a pipe in front of him of his mouth. "You fight it back with a even more powerful force..."
As soon as Terra said that, the Tengu unleashed his attack.
"Disappear!" Gardos roared out, as he unleashed a storm of wind towards them. Terra also unleashed something devastating as well.
"Roar of the Earth Dragon!" Terra shouted out, and breathed out an attack unlike Leone has never seen before. Terra shot out a mighty torrent of rocks that were sharp and thick at the same time. The two attacks clashed with each other, pushing each other back and forth, trying to see on which is stronger. As the two attacks clashes, the surroundings were either blown away, or simply just smash and cracked by the roar.
"Nrgh!" Gardos grunted out, as he started to falter. Leone saw this, and turned to Terra.
"He's weakening! Keep it up!" Leone told him. Terra didn't respond, but pumped more magic into his attack, which caused the power of the roar to increase immensely and overpower the attack. Gardos eyes widened as he saw the attack close in on him, and he didn't have the chance to scream as the attack collided with him.
*BOOM!*
A loud crash and explosion was made as Terra's Roar of the Earth Dragon collided with Gardos and the surroundings. Leone had to shield herself from wind and dust that kicked up, while Terra just stood there fine. As soon as the wind died down, everything just went quiet.
Leone lowered her arms, and her eyes widened when she saw the destruction around them. Everything was in complete rubble, collapsed, or utterly grinded into dust.
"So this is the power of a dragon..." Leone mumbled. Terra just took in a deep breath, and exhaled.
"My roar will crush, grind, and burry anything in its path. His wind was no exception." was all Terra told her. Leone just blinked at his brief explanation.
"...I have nothing to say about that, to be honest." Leone said to him. It was then they heard movement in front of them, and they immediately turned their heads towards the source.
Once again, Gardos just picked himself out of the rubble, though heavily bleeding and breathing. He stumbled to the ground, while still standing. As soon as the Tengu did, all he did was just glare at them.
"You think you won..." Gardos said to them, while standing up with a bleeding form. "But it's not over. Not over!"
He then gave a grin at them. "You probably didn't realize this, but I actually have a weapon that'll help me take over the Youkais! It's a devastating weapon, capable of mass destruction! I'll use that to defeat Yasaka, the leader that shouldn't be in the first place!" Gardos shouted to them, and gave a weak laugh to them.
As soon as they heard him say that, they heard a truck drive in the distance. Terra and Leone immediately turned to the incoming truck coming from the distance, and Leone's eyes widened when she saw the incoming large truck.
"Oh crud, it's already here!" Leone said.
"Wait, how did they managed to get a truck in the Youkai faction? Did they use a tunnel?" Terra asked, causing Leone to look at him disbelief.
"A weapon is coming our way, and that's the first thing you say!?" Leone asked him. Terra just shrugged.
"Well, there's no use is panicking if it's already here." Terra told her, which caused Leone to deflate.
"Jeez..." Leone said with an exasperated tone. It was then Gardos gave a cocky smirk at them.
"Hahaha! In any minute, my weapon is going to be here!" Gardos laughed, and turned to the truck heading towards them. Leone immediately went into fighting stance, and got ready to stop the truck. However, before she could move, an arm was put in her way. She looked at the arm, and it belong to Terra.
"Terra!? What are you-!?" Leone asked with surprise, but saw Terra's expression. He merely smiled at her, telling her that it was okay. Leone looked at him with doubt. But before she could act, the truck was close.
"Hahaha! It's my victory!" Gardos laughed at them, as he turned his attention towards them. "From now on, it's my-!"
*CRASH!*
Before Gardos could say anything else, the truck just rammed into him, suprising Leone, but not Terra. In fact, he merely just gave a small smile at this. The truck continued its way, and eventually just crashed into another building. The truck soon stopped in its tracks, with smoke coming off of it. Terra and Leone stared at the truck for a while, until the door was kicked open. It was then a familiar person came out.
"Did someone order a truckload of kickass and a side order of Fallen Angel Mittelt?" Mittelt said to Terra with an innocent smile, while at the same time proud of herself. Leone simply looked surprised to see that a Fallen Angel was here, while Terra just gave a chuckle at her.
"No. But I'll have the delivery anyway!" Terra said to her. Yorokobi just cheered at Mittelt's appearance.
"Mittelt!" Yorokobi cheered, seeing Mittelt arrive.
"Hey~! So what did I miss?" Mittelt asked, as she approached the three. Terra just shrugged at her.
"Nothing much. We pretty much just kicked ass here. Even you at the last second." Terra told her. Mittelt just smiled at that.
"Yeah, well somebody had to work behind the scenes. Gotta say, it worked pretty well." Mittelt told him. Terra just chucked at her, before he heard a throat being cleared. Terra and Mittelt turned to Leone, who just looked at the two of them with a raised eyebrow, as well as having her hands on her hips.
"So Terra. When were you going to tell me that you had an accomplice with you?" Leone asked. Terra blinked at this, before going into a sheepish expression as he scratched the back of his brown hair.
"Sorry. I was kind of caught up in the situation we were in, so I kind of forgot to mention Mittelt." Terra said to her, and then turned to Mittelt. As soon as he did, he noticed an expression that he never saw before on Mittelt.
Envy.
Mittelt was staring at Leone with envy. More specifically, she was glaring enviously at her chest. She then looked at her own chest, and frowned at its size. Leone also noticed at where she was looking at, and merely blinked at this.
'I just met a Fallen Angel for the first time...and she's envious of my breast?' Leone thought. Before she could continue, they heard multiple footsteps not far away.
They all turned, and saw a rather large force of Youkai running towards the scene. Leone recognized them.
"Hey...they're part of the royal force!" Leone said, being surprised by this. Terra blinked at this, seeing this incoming force.
"Well...that escelated quickly." Terra said, seeing the soldiers come into the scene.
(Later - Palace)
After dealing with Gardos and his men, they were immediately put under arrest and placed in prison. Terra, Leone, Mittelt, and Yorokobi were now sitting in a room with Yasaka. They all sat on the tatami mat. Yasaka was the first to speak. She smiled at Terra and Leone.
"Normally, I would scold you two for not reporting to me about your actions, but considering the situation you were in as well as the fortunate results we had, I will consider this an exception." Yasaka told the two of the, which made the two sigh in relief. She then bowed in gratitude to Terra.
"On behalf of all the Youkai here, we are thankful for your services." Yasaka said to Terra. Terra merely smiled at her.
"It's no problem. I'm glad to help." Terra told her. Yasaka nodded, and then turned to Mittelt, who looked a bit nervous under her presence. Yasaka was confident enough that she can easily take down this one-winged Fallen Angel, she still had to be cautious of her.
"I'm also surprised to see that a Fallen Angel decided to help as well. And if I may be so bold, she has a connection with you, Tachikaze-san?" Yasaka asked. Terra nodded at her.
"She's my friend. Even though she is a Fallen Angel, she has no ill will towards you, nor having any intention of harming the Youkai here." Terra told her. Mittelt nodded in agreement.
"I promise that I will not harm any of the Youkai here. It would be foolish for me to take on all of you alone." Mittelt told her. Yasaka nodded at her.
"Well, if Tachikaze-san says you're not as a bad person, then you're more than welcome to stay here. Though, you will have to stay by Tachikaze-san's side, just as a precaution. I hope you understand that." Yasaka told her, to which Mittlet nodded. Yasaka then turned to Leone.
"I told you family of your accomplishment, Leone." Yasaka told her, which surprised Leone. "They're quite proud and happy to see that you've managed to protect Kyoto, as well as the royal family."
Leone could only smile at that. "It's an honor for you to talk about me, Yasaka-sama!"
Yasaka just sighed at her. "Now only if you could put that kind of enthusiasm in your work of watching over Kunou."
"Urk!" Leone faulted at the side when she heard her leader say that. Yasaka merely chuckled, and turned to Terra.
"Now that this conflict is now over, is there anything that we could do to show out gratitude?" Yasaka asked. Terra was caught off guard by that question, but shook his head at her.
"To be honest, there isn't anything that I want in return. I'm just happy to help you." Terra told her. Yasaka blinked in surprise upon hearing him say that.
"Are you sure about that?" Yasaka asked. Terra nodded at her.
"Yes, I'm absolutely su-" Terra said, but was cut off by another noise.
*Grumble* *Growl*
A growling was heard throughout the room, and everyone turned to the source of the noise. And it came from Terra. More specifically...
*Growl*
...His stomach.
Terra simply blinked at this, and looked down at his stomach, which continued to growl. He then gave an embarrassed expression at them while giving an awkward laugh.
"Ahahaha...guess I'm hungry..." Terra told them.
Silence reigned upon the room, until everyone just laughed at Terra's hunger. Yasaka just gave a laugh while covering her mouth with her sleeves, and smiled in thought.
"Well, at least give us a chance to thank you by providing you food. Are you okay with that?" Yasaka asked. Terra immediately nodded at her.
"Yes!" was Terra's immediate response. Again, everyone just laughed at his response to food.
(Dining Hall)
Many of the Youkai were gather in a large room, with long tables of food assorted in front of them. All of the Youkais just have heartily laughs as they all feasted on the given food. Also, they were celebrating that they've managed to avoid danger thanks to Terra, Leone, and Mittelt more or less.
"Mm...this is good..." Mittelt moaned as she dug through the food on her plate.
"The sake is great as usual!" Leone said, while drinking her sake along with her food, as her legs were on the table.
"Leone, please take your legs off the table." Yasaka told her, but Leone just shrugged at her. The kitsune just sighed at her.
"Um...mother." Kunou said to Yasaka, gaining her attention.
"Yes Kunou?" Yasaka asked. Kunou simply pointed at where Terra is sitting, along with the male Youkai. They looked at where Terra was sitting, and were surprised to see what they saw.
"Go! Go! Go! Go!"
The crowed cheered, as they gathered around Terra, as other the Youkai were wolfing down the food in front of them, while Terra followed their actions as well. All of the females within the group just blinked in surprised to see what was going on in front of them.
"Are they...having an eating contest?" Mittelt asked, surprised to see this.
"I think they are..." Leone responded.
They just witnessed Terra just plowing through the food, while other Youkai were trying to keep up with his appetite. Some began to waver, while Terra still kept plowing through the food like it was nothing.
After some time, the youkai that competed against Terra all stopped or fainted from stuffing themselves from the food, leaving Terra still sitting up while still eating his food.
All the Youkai cheered when Terra was the last one standing. Terra simply raised his fist in victory while chewing some food in his mouth. The other Youkai cheered at his appetite, while the two Youkai sitting next to him raised his arm like he was the winner of some game show.
At the end, the girls simply laughed at this.
(Hot Springs)
After a long dinner, everyone was now in the hot springs to wash away the stress that occurred to them.
"Ah...finally, a hot bath to wash away the troubles..." Mittelt said, as she enjoyed the hot springs. Here hair was now undone, and was now falling straight down instead of pig tails.
"The hot springs are the best..." Leone said, as she leaned on the edge of the springs.
"It is nice to have something like this once and a while." Yasaka said, as she was also in the hot springs with them.
"This is nice..." Kunou said, as she had a relaxed expression on her features, while face of her face was submerged in the hot water. Yasaka then turned to Mittelt, who was enjoying the water.
"So Mittelt." Yasaka asked, making Mittelt flinch as she was now under the attention of a powerful faction leader.
"Y-Yes?" Mittelt said to her.
"How do you know Tachikaze-san?" Yasaka asked, which made Mittelt blink in surprise at her. Leone chimed in as well.
"Yeah. I'm kind of curious how a Fallen Angel knows Terra, and why you're following with him in the first place." Leone asked. Mittlet just gave a tired sigh at that.
"It's kind of a long story. You see..." Mittelt said, and started telling her tale on how she met Terra and how she knew him and went with him. By the time she finished her story, Leone just gave a raised eyebrow.
"Wow. You first tried to kill him, and then you befriended him and decided to go with him?" Leone asked her. Mittelt nodded at her.
"I honestly didn't have any ill-will towards him, just because I was ordered. But somehow, Terra looked through all that. Maybe it was because he was strong to begin with, and didn't take the attacks seriously." Mittelt said, while having a bit of guilt in her eyes. Yasaka sighed.
"Well, as long as you've learned from what you did, I suppose that we could do nothing about it. The past is in the past. We now much focus on the present." Yasaka told them, when they nodded. Yasaka then turned to Leone.
"So Leone. What do you...Leone. What are you doing?" Yasaka asked, seeing on what Leone was doing. Mittelt and Kunou turned, and their eyes widened on seeing Leone peeking over the walls. All Leone did was just whistled at what she saw.
"Wow...I guess being with a dragon also led to those muscles." Leone said, while having a bit of a blush on her face as well as looking amazed on what she saw.
"O-Oi! What do you think you're doing!?" Mittelt furiously asked, seeing Leone peek. Leone didn't take her eyes off of Terra, but responded to her question.
"I just want to see how developed he is. Gotta say, he has an impressive physique. I guess his arms weren't just for show." Leone said to her. Mittelt just blushed at the commenting of Terra's body, and was hugely tempted to look over.
"I-Impresive physique!? Let me see!" Mittelt said, getting out of the bath, and attempted to look over as well. Yasaka once again just sighed at this.
"Girls..." Yasaka said, while giving out a tried sigh at this. Meanwhile, Kunou just looked confused at their actions.
"Mother, why are they trying to look over the boys bath? It's only Terra there." Kunou asked with an innocent tone.
"It's nothing to worry about Kunou." Yasaka said, trying to keep her daughter from that kind of stuff. All the while, Mittelt peeked over the fence with Leone, and her face immediately blushed on what she saw.
"Oh my god..." Mittelt said. Leone nodded at her.
"I know, right?" Leone said to her.
(With Terra)
Terra just had half of his body submerged in water, revealing his well muscled upper body. Terra just gave a relazed sigh as a towel hung over his head.
"Ah...this feels good..." Terra said to himself, enjoying the hot water working on him.
"Another perk of traveling. As soon as you reach a town or city, you can take a break at the nearest hot springs..." Terra said, taking in the hot water.
"This feels nice~" Yorokobi said, as he floated on the water on his back. Terra just chucked at him.
"Yeah. And you know, this all started when you snatched a book from the library." Terra said to his feline companion. Yorokobi just smiled while having a relaxed face.
"And I'm proud of what I did..." Yorokobi said, which caused Terra to sweat drop at what he said.
"I don't think taking a book from a library is something to be proud of." Terra told him. He then took in a deep breath and exhaled, and looked at the starry night sky.
"But you know? I think that even before you took the book, it was my old man's scent that led us here in the first place. If that hadn't shown up in the first place, then none of this wouldn't have happened." Terra said to himself, and then blinked with realization.
"Wait...the whole reason I came to this place was to look for my old man. But I got side tracked by saving a Faction from possible danger." Terra said to himself, and blinked on what he said. "Now that I said that, I guess the later weighs more than the former."
"You got that right." Yorokobi agreed, before flipping himself into the water and begun swimming on it, unaware of a contemplative look that grew on Terra's face.
"Maybe I should ask Yasaka something..." Terra mumbled to himself.
(Yasaka's Office)
"You're father is a dragon?" Yasaka asked him in surprise. Terra nodded at her. As soon as they've finished with the hot springs, Terra immediately went up to Yasaka and decided to have a talk with her.
"Yes. I'm currently on the search for my old man. His name is Volstgalph, King of the Earth Dragons." Terra told her. Yasaka went into thought as she closed her eyes. But after a few moments, she shook her head.
"I'm sorry. I've never learned of heard of a dragon named Volstgalph." Yasaka apologized to Terra, which caused to him to sigh.
"Figures. Oh well, at least I gave it a try." Terra said, as he stood up from his sitting position.
"Well, sorry for bothering you on your spare time. I'll just be on my way then on my next location." Terra told her, which made the kitsune look at him with curiosity.
"You're currently traveling, correct?" Yasaka asked, which caused Terra to silently nod at her question. "And do you know where your next location will be?" Yasaka asked. Terra went into thought, before shrugging at her question.
"To be honest, I'll just go where the wind takes me. That's my best guest so far." Terra told her.
"I see..." Yasaka said, and had an idea pop up in her head. "If I may, Tachikaze-kun." Yasaka said, stopping Terra in his tracks. "Could I suggest to you a location that could possibly help your in your search for you father?" Yasaka asked. Terra blinked in surprise, and then nodded at her.
"I would appreciate that." Terra said to her. Yasaka smiled at him, and gave him a suggestion.
"I suggest looking going to Chino. It's a city not too far from here. I should also tell you that the city is known for its many schools and knowledge. And within that city lies an important figure stays there at the city." Yasaka informed him, which made him raise an eyebrow.
"An important figure?" Terra asked. Yasaka nodded at him, and then reached into her desk and started writing something.
"You'll figure out on who he is as soon as you get there. Just visit a place called "Heavenly Counseling"." Yasaka informed him, and then handed him a letter. "Just hand this letter to him, and he'll comply with what you're seeking." Yasaka said to him. Terra blinked in surprise as he received the letter from her, and then smiled.
"Thank you. I appreciate on what you're doing for me." Terra said to her. Yasaka merely smiled and shook her head at him.
"You shouldn't be thanking me. I am merely repaying back on what you did for the Youkai, as well as my daughter." Yasaka told him. Terra sighed at that.
"Fine. I guess we'll go with it that way then..." Terra said, and soon left Yasaka's office and decided to sleep for the night.
(Few Days Later)
After spending a few days in the Youkai faction, as well as getting along with the Youkai there, especially Leone, Yasaka, and Kunou, goodbyes had to be expected at the end. So now, he, Yorokobi, and Mittelt all stood near the exit of the Youkai faction. In front of them was Yasaka and Kunou, along with a few bodyguards. Yasaka smiled at the three as she was seeing them off.
"I wish you the best of luck on your search for your father, Tachikaze-san." Yasaka told him. "You're more than welcome to visit and stay in our faction. It's what you deserve for your services."
Terra just sighed at her, seeing that unwanted gratitude he didn't want. But merely smiled as he accepted it, seeing that Yasaka won't take no for an answer.
"Thank you." Terra said, and turned to Kunou. "Goodbye to you to, Kunou. Stay safe."
Kunou nodded at him, and just waved a goodbye at him. "Goodbye! I hope you visit again sometime!" Kunou brightly said to him. Terra just chuckled, and bowed to Yasaka.
"Thank you for your hospitality. I'll be sure to visit sometime." Terra told Yasaka, to which she merely chucked at.
"It is no problem, Tachikaze-san." Yasaka told him. Terra nodded at her, and then turned to the exit of the Youkai faction.
"Well then...off we go!" Terra said, and began to run off, with Mittelt following in suit.
Back to the open world!
"Hey! Wait up!" shouted out a familiar voice.
And...adventure halted once more.
Terra was stopped in his tracks, tripped, and fell face first on the floor once more. Mittlet just blinked at this, and giggled at what she saw. Yorokobi went next to Terra's head and asked if he was alright.
Terra just groaned as he picked himself off the ground again. And then turned around to see who called out to him. He blinked when he saw Leone running towards him while she was carrying a duffle bag with her. And her appearance changed to.
She still wore a black tube top, but this time covered her stomach and a bit of her cleavage, but was small enough to show her serves. She wore a a short white jacket on top, still have the white scarf around her neck, and had jeans. And this time, her lion ears, claws, and tails were now hidden and instead just showed her in a more humane form, as if she was human to begin with.
Leone just stopped in front of them while smiling at Terra. Terra blinked at the changes, as well as the bag she was carrying.
"Leone? What's with the new look? And did you come to say goodbye?" Terra asked. Leone merely smiled just shook her head at him.
"Now why would I say goodbye? I'm coming with you." Leone told him, which surprised both Terra and Mittelt.
"What!?" Terra and Mittelt said, surprised at the same time. Yorokobi just cheered at the prospect of a friend to travel with.
"Travel with me? But why?" Terra said, confused by this. It was then Yasaka stepped forward.
"It was actually an offer and choice we presented to Leone." Yasaka told him, which made Terra look at her confused. "You see, Leone always had a strong urge to see the outside world, and see what it is truly like. However, she is still loyal to her duties as a Shishi to the youkai faction. However, her family and my consent decided that it would be best for Leone to gain some outside experience on what the world truly is. So Tachikaze-san, do you mind if we let Leone travel with you?"
Terra blinked in surprise upon hearing this request, and then crossed his arms when he went into thought. Mittelt just frowned, while not looking amused by the fact that there could possibly be competition for Terra. Leone looked at him with a bit of hope in her eyes, hoping to see what the outside world truly is.
It didn't last too long, as Terra merely smiled at this. "I don't see a problem. Why not?" Terra said, causing Leone to smile brightly at this, while Mittelt just pouted and groaned at Terra accepting her.
"Thank you!" Leone brightly said, as she went to hug Terra. But in a more...proactive way. She immediately grabbed his head, and shoved it into impressive breast, much to Mittelt's ire and Yasaka's embarssement of seeing her act like this.
"You have no idea how long I wanted to see the outside world!" Leone said happily, as she swung around Terra as he hugged him like a young girl received a puppy.
"MPH!" was Terra's muffled screams as he tried pull himself out of her breast. Mittelt immediately grabbed onto Leone.
"Hey! Hands off of Terra! He's mine!" Mittelt said, pulling off the happy Shishi hugging Terra, causing her to pout.
"Aw..." Leone said. Terra coughed and took in a deep breath of air to regain back the oxygen he couldn't get during his brief suffocation. He cleared his throat, and acted like it never happened to him.
"W-Well, glad to see that you're happy to travel with us." Terra said, showing no trace amounts of blushing on him, despite what happened earlier. Instead, he gave a tired sigh.
"But next time, could the hugs be less...suffocating?" Terra asked. Leone just pouted at him.
"Aw, but its fun..." Leone whined at him. Yasaka cleared her throat, gaining Leone's attention
"Leone." Yasaka said sternly to her, causing Leone to flinch and then sighed.
"Yes Yasaka-sama..." Leone responded. Yasaka just sighed at this, and turned to Terra.
"Do make sure that Leone behaves as she travels with you. She means a lot, but someone has to keep her in place." Yasaka told him.
"Hey!" Leone exclaimed. Terra merely chucked at her.
"Don't worry. I'll make sure she is safe and in good care." Terra told her, and turned to the exit once more. He then began to sprint.
"Let's go!" Terra shouted, causing the others to run after him.
"Slow down! Not all of us can be energetic as you!" Mittelt shouted out to him.
"Bye everyone!" Yorokobi said, waving from Terra's backpack.
"Wish me luck!" Leone said to the Youkais behind her as she waved a goodbye while running after Terra. Yasaka merely smiled as she shook her head.
"I think Terra needs more luck than her..." Yasaka said, and decided to head back.
"Come Kunou. We're heading back home." Yasaka said to her daughter.
"Coming mother!" Kunou said, walking with her mother back home, not looking back at the hole that was closing itself as the four ran out of the Youkai's home.
And so, Terra and friends managed to save the Youkai faction from certain peril, as well as saving the supernatural world to an extent. He now sets off into the world once more, this time with a new companion by his side.
Spell List:
Earth Dragon's Tunnel
Earth Dragon's Echolocation
Earth Dragon's Shatter Force - This spell is rather powerful in Terra's arsenal. Terra simply places a magic circle on anything that is considered earth related, and charge magic on it for a few seconds. However, this spell cannot work on human or living flesh.
Earth Dragon's Protective Wall - Terra summons a wall of earth in front of him, protecting him from enemy attacks. This attack is also highly durable than any normal wall. In fact, it's hardness may rival steel.
Earth Dragon's Iron Rock Arms!
Earth Dragon's Sand Defense! - I took this one from Gaara from Naruto. Terra manipulated sand to form a flexible and durable shield. Highly useful when moving, or just moving a shield in general.
Earth Dragon's Sand Bullets! - Another one of Gaara's moves. Terra manipulates the sand and compresses them into hard bullets, which is hard enough to pierce enemies.
Earth Dragon's Earth Dome! - A form of defense used to form around Terra and an ally, as a dome of earth surrounds him and his allies.
Earth Dragon's Quicksand! - Terra converts the ground underneath a person's feet, and converts it into quicksand, immobilizing them.
Fist of the Earth Dragon!
Roar of the Earth Dragon - A destructive and powerful spell, as well as a trademark move for all Dragon Slayers. With this technique, Terra breathes out a devastating beam of earthly destruction. Terra shoots out a torrent of sharp rocks to the target, and these sharp rocks able to grind, crush, and burry anything within its path.
Relationship Description:
Terra and Mittelt: A one sided crush, while the other isn't aware.
Terra and Leone: One side being flirty, while the other doesn't take it too seriously. Relationship will develop in the story.
Terra and Yorokobi: Friend, side-kick, and reliable partners.
Pairings: {Mittelt, Serefall, Kuroka, Leone (Akame Ga Kill), WIP}
Alright, I've been giving it some good thought on the number of people on Terra's team, and I've decided...
To have about 9 people on the team (well, if you count out Yorokobi on combat...you get 8).
As for the members, I've already set them up in advance. So...I won't be taking in any suggestions for the members. Sorry, but its the way I want it. Hope you can understand and respect my decision.
And no, I won't reveal on who the members will be. You'll just have to read and find out. Though, I will give you guys a hint. The characters I'm putting in are from different animes/games. That's all I'll say.
The Party/Team:
1. Terra Tachikaze (Human)
2. Mittelt (Fallen Angel)
3. Yorokobi (Exceed)
4. Leone (Youkai - Shishi)
I should also mention that when more females are going to join the party, Terra is not going to bone every single on of them.
And for the gender ratio, I've decided to make it half and half. Half of the group are boys, while half of the group are girls. I have also decided to have species/member from a certain faction. For example, I'm going to take one Angel, one Fallen Angel, and one Devil. One member per faction in Terra's team.
Other Author Notes
If you have trouble picturing Gardos, he basically looks like Reborn Tengu from Yu-Gi-Oh.
