Kyoichi continued to hack away at the rushing corpses, adding to the rising mounds of bodies.
Tatsuma and Twilight stood back-to-back punching and slamming away anything that came near them.
Meanwhile, Inside the city; Aoi, Sakurai, and Daigo continued their search for their renegade companions. They looked high and low for hours on end until they found the trio fighting on the edge of the city. They quickly joined in leaving Kyoichi, Tatsuma, and Twilight free to engage the leader of the enemy. A large demon situated inside the subway station nearby.
The trio ran away from the battle, much at Kyoichi's expense, and into the subway. They came to the bottom of the stairs and looked around. Before them was a large creature with a white head that was three times the size of its body. Below that was what looked like a large black eye, and a normal, if not fat, human body.
"What the hell is that?" Kyoichi asked
"I think that'd be the demon that's controlling the corpses. Come on, we have to destroy it before it causes even more trouble." Twilight said grabbing his hammer near the head and charging forward.
"He-hey! Hold on!" Kyoichi shouted "Damn it." He bit his thumb and it began to bleed, he ran the finger along the blade of his sword drawing strange runes that began to glow.
Tatsuma held up his fist, and the dragon that was fitted to his gauntlet opened its mouth releasing a small light. The two warriors charged in after Twilight.
The young Guardian, meanwhile, had been surrounded by the corpses that the demon had summoned. He swung his hammer in a large arc sending the zombies in front of him flying to the back of the subway tunnel. He twirled in a large circle sending the rest spiraling away. As he stopped Tatsuma and Kyoichi flew past him headed toward the large demon.
"Hey!" He shouted jumping after them. The trio came near the demon and each of them unleashed their attack.
In a blinding light the whole subway tunnel collapsed.
The three members of the group that had been fighting earlier; Aoi, Sakurai, and Daigo looked toward the giant explosion
"Kyoichi!" Daigo shouted
Back at the subway. Kyoichi pushed a piece of rubble of his body
"Damn, I just wanted to kill it, not blow it up. This is one hell of a mess." He pushed the rubble to the ground.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going asshole?" He asked as he saw the demon crawling away from the battle-scene.
"Get back here. I'm not done with you yet." He said as he walked over the hill of stone toward the demon
The demon began to crawl away faster than it had before, but Kyoichi easily caught up with it. He lifted his sword above his head and gripped the handle with both hands before driving it into the demon's black eye.
"There, now that that's taken care of." He put his sword back in the cloth sheath and wiped his hands on the ground.
He turned back to Tatsuma and Twilight as they pushed themselves up from the rubble.
"You guys ok?" He asked
"Yeah, just fine, but did you have to make it explode?" Twilight asked
"Hey, that wasn't my fault, maybe it was you and your over-powered hammer slam." Kyoichi replied
"Don't blame me!" Twilight shouted back as he stood
"Um… Guys… It's dead, what does it matter what made it explode? The important fact is we're all still here." Tatsuma stated
Twilight and Kyoichi looked at him, then at each other.
"He's right." Twilight said reluctantly
"Yeah, but anyway, let's get out of here and go find Aoi and the others." Kyoichi said climbing out of the hole.
As he emerged he began to look around for any sign of their companions. After Twilight and Tatsuma emerge the three were beginning to set off when some shouted at them.
"Hey! Guys!"
They turned and saw Aoi, Sakurai, and Daigo running toward them.
"Ah, so you made it?" Twilight asked as they ran up to them.
"Yeah, things looked like they weren't going to end well, then that explosion happened and when we looked the corpses had all disappeared." Aoi explained
"Sounds like that demon was definitely in charge of the corpses and the aftermath of their slaughter." Twilight said crossing his arms
"Yeah, but, now what? There doesn't seem to be anything we can do." Daigo said
"Wait, in three months time. I will return to collect you. Until then, try to live as normally as you can, and don't die." Twilight said with a grin. A gray portal opened behind him, as the swirled mist began to materialize a vision appeared. A large grand-scale military base with the other Guardians moving around inside.
"What's that?" Tatsuma asked
"My home." Twilight replied grinning. "You'll see more of it soon enough, but the world of Guarer is only for those who have been chosen. Until then. I'll see you." He bowed and stepped through the portal, it shrunk shut behind him.
"Damn, that guys is frickin' crazy." Kyoichi said when the portal close.
"Yes, but he sure is interesting." Aoi replied forlornly.
