A limousine just arrived at Loew Village. Pretzel as a driver slowly press the brake pedal using left foot. Then, he gets out from the limousine & open up a door for them.
"Thanks for the ride. I hope you enjoy riding for us to go over a thousand miles non-stop driving." (Giriko)
"Listen, Pretzel. You & the limousine must stay in position until we come back. Don't go anywhere, or else you'll face the consequences." (Arachne)
"I understand, Master." (Pretzel)
They walk on to the village while Pretzel goes back to the limousine & sigh of a tiredness.
"What a day..." (Pretzel)
Then, he slop from his pocket & take a small stuff. It was a picture of his family since he was a born. At the right side there's a white-looking angel cat woman, Novella which is his mother carry him when he was a baby. Meanwhile, at the left side of her, there's a vampire man, Mirosoku carry a baby that look like him, but with a golden eye & a black hair. But for Pretzel, he had a white hair & purple eyes. They are a non-identical twin. Pretzel slowly rub with his fingers at the mother's face.
"Mom, I don't know what else to do now. I have to do this to find a clue about my twin." (Pretzel)
Then, he slide his picture to his father's face.
"Dad, I know your out there. I know you still alive. I miss you. I hope my twin are safe & sound out there. I promise, when I found my twin, I always take care of him & find you & my mom." (Pretzel)
He look to the sky & pray to God that someday, he'll meet someone who he looking for since he was a child. At the other side at Shibusen, Dr. Stein & Shinigami-sama are talking through a mirror about Vassya & the other crew.
"Seems like my son complete his mission. But, fair enough." (Shinigami)
"They took down one of the hunters of Jakove's soul, moreover his blood." (Dr. Stein)
"Your right, in Needle Village a.k.a Shin Village. There's this guy named, Masamune. Being Tsubaki's brother take precedence over him being an enemy of the Shibusen." (Shinigami)
"He's a Demon Blade. It's a potential demon God. He wanders around, possessing others to use him as their weapon to collect any soul he wants. He plays on the fears of others to possess and use them until he takes over their soul. A Demon Blade plays upon the 'fear' that lies in the hearts of people, possessing the soul in order to control the body. In the end, once the soul is sucked dry, it becomes..." (Dr. Stein)
"A demon God." (Shinigami-sama)
SHIN (NEEDLE) VILLAGE
Vassya, Sonata & Jakove are now arrived at the location. Jakove used a large bat wings fapping to land on the ground. Vassya & Sonata jump off from the wings.
"Look at this place. So quiet, so cold." (Sonata)
"Must be a ghost town, I guess. What are we looking for?" (Vassya)
"I'm looking for the Demon Sword person. This isn't a ghost town. Might be someone accompany this village." (Jakove)
Then, a boy village named Ryoku wearing a bandana helping his grandmother carrying a crates.
"Hello there, strangers." (Ryoku)
"Well, it isn't Ryoku-chan's friends." (Ryoku's Grandmother)
"No, grandma. They look like a visitor visit our village." (Ryoku)
"Hello there, we looking for someone." (Sonata)
Right when she try to ask, Ryoku saw something on Jakove, he look at Jakove's cat bell wearing at his neck. He look suspicious on him.
"So, you... are the next, Prince of Darkness...?" (Ryoku)
"Hmmm?" (Everyone)
"Are you try to kill everyone in this village once again?" (Ryoku)
He shout at the three of them in madness.
"What the-? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" (Jakove)
"Your cat bell. It belongs to the previous Prince of Darkness, which is YOUR FATHER." (One of the civilian)
"The Prince of... Darkness?" (Sonata)
Suddenly, the rest of the villagers are coming & carrying the stuff consider as the weapon. The weapon such as the long stick, rock etc.
"Get them out of here!" (Ryoku)
"Oh shit..." (Vassya)
The villagers chase them & some of them throw a rocks at them. Vassya, Sonata & Jakove try to run finding a place to hide. Then, Sonata found the hiding place, which is behind the house with a roof. A few minutes later, the place are quiet. They decided to go to the forest & go at the view point.
"Man, the village are mean." (Sonata)
"Yep, I bet they think we intruder & kill them." (Vassya)
Jakove climbing a tree & sit on a branches looking at the view of the village.
"Is the stuff that happened back there in the village bothering you girls?" (Jakove)
"Not really..." (Vassya)
"I don't like telling a long, ancient & boring stories about the old days..." (Jakove)
Then, the sky goes dark & turned raining. The raindrop fall to the earth, the surrounding getting cold. Vassya & Sonata sit on a shade place at the tree. Jakove change a plan, by telling a story about his history.
"Okay, okay girls. I'll tell you about the Prince of Darkness history. It's happened before, right? Some people we don't know would see my cat bell at my neck and suddenly make a grab at me..." (Jakove)
"Yeah...?" (Vassya)
"Prince Darkness is a well-known more like a king. It represent as the highest rank of all dark warrior. Every warrior fight each other on a match at Revenant Valley, my hometown. My father... never let them lead their way. His dangerous move slays on every creature that try to stop him. Unfortunately, he's the next 'Prince of Darkness'." (Jakove)
"Wow, he's a real hero." (Sonata)
Jakove continue the story, but Dr. Stein copy his word to tell Shinigami-sama.
"He's not just any hero. He planned to rule the world. He rule some of the cities such as Shin Village. He hurt the village there. Everyone hates him. Including Novella..." (Dr. Stein)
"What happen to Novella? The last time I met her was... urghhh I don't remember." (Shinigami-sama)
And, Jakove copy the word.
"My mom... I... don't know what happen to her..." (Jakove)
In emotional feeling, Jakove put his head down & cry in a silence.
"Don't cry, Onii-san. I'm sure someday she'll be back with you." (Sonata)
"But theres one thing that my question in my mind... in my family picture..." (Jakove)
"Hmmm? What is it?" (Vassya)
"Who's the little baby with white hair & purple eyes? Was it..." (Jakove)
"Now now, Jacko. Don't think too much on that. Right now, it keeps raining & we need to find the person we've looking for. No time for sitting here & wait for raining stop. We should keep moving!" (Vassya)
Everyone start to move out from the location & goes back to the village to find the real person they looking for. A few minutes later, they arrived at the same place & the surrounding turns mist & nobody out there.
"Where everybody go?" (Vassya)
"Hmmm, might be the village goes back to their own home..." (Jakove)
Suddenly, the mist getting thick.
"Oh no, the mist..." (Sonata)
"Girls, stick together on me! Sonata, transform!" (Jakove)
"Got it!" (Sonata)
Sonata transform herself into a rose scythe while Vassya's left arm turn into a scythe. The shadow goes quickly fade out. Jakove realize that.
"Looks like we got company." (Jakove)
The mystery word keep enchanted at Jakove's cat ear. It keeps twitching for a few second.
I doth think
I shalt sleep?
I shalt play?
Nay... I SHALT EAT!
The words or a poem make him suspicious. He knew that the voices are coming around them.
"It's gone..." (Jakove)
"What gone?" (Vassya)
"The words... it suddenly gone. Girls, I know it's pretty scary, but we should face for it." (Jakove)
A few seconds later, they heard a footstep. coming from the south. Jakove & Vassya are prepare, they made their first attack. But unfortunately, it was Ryoku wielding a sword.
"Oh, thank goodness. I thought it was a ghost or something." (Vassya)
Vassya felt relief, but for Ryoku & Jakove...
"I devour souls!" (Ryoku)
With his scary eyes, Jakove knew that it wasn't real Ryoku.
"The Demon Soul possess him!" (Jakove)
"Y-your right! He is get possessed!" (Sonata)
"The Soul Possession..." (Vassya)
"You know about it?" (Jakove)
"Normally, the meister & the weapon synchronize their soul wavelengths to unify. But in this case of the Demon Soul, the soul get possessed by the other and that person is being manipulated. In the end, THE BLADE SUCKS THE SOUL DRY!" (Vassya)
Ryoku attack toward them & finally get avoided from the sky.
"Damn, this guy good." (Jakove)
"Very very good." (Vassya)
They landed on the ground & Ryoku turn around & face to them.
"I won't allow anyone to disturb my meal! In this world, it is strong that devour the weak. Those with "power" are permitted to be gluttonous!" (Ryoku)
Ryoku strike at Jakove, but finally get defend by Sonata. Unfortunately...
"Shadow Puppet..." (Ryoku)
A shadow comes from Ryoku's body shadow come alive & slash at Jakove's arm. He fell down.
"What was that thing?" (Sonata)
"That move used by Uncanny Sword to control the shadow of the person he possessed for pincer attacks." (Vassya)
Jakove make a smile & laugh silently.
"Looks like it's 2 on 2 fight..." (Jakove)
"It's not funny, Onii-san." (Sonata)
Ryoku's move never give a chance to them a fight, not even a basic move. Vassya give it a try on him. Vassya hold her own weapon & try to strike, but unfortunately being blocked by the shadow. She never stop attack him, even it's defended.
"This thing are unstoppable!" (Vassya)
Then, shadow puppet used a maximum power of the normal strike that push Vassya away.
"Vassya!" (Sonata & Jakove)
Clone shadow stab Vassya from the sky, Vassya luckily avoided it.
"In this situation where the footing is bad, I'll barely be able to dodge his timed attacks with his shadow. I've got to do something..." (Vassya)
Then, Jakove & Sonata once again try to attack him. But this time, Ryoku crouch abit & the shadow's hand turn into a drill shape.
"That stance... JAKOVE, LOOK OUT!" (Vassya)
"Die, mortal!" (Ryoku)
The sword stab using the shadow's backup sword. Jakove jump on the sword & fly to the sky. When it comes they fall to the ground...
"SPLIT BRANCHES!" (Ryoku)
After the Puppet Strike, large spikes come out from the shadows body to skewer the enemy at close range. Jakove look down in nervous.
"Jakove! Watch out! The spikes!" (Sonata)
Sonata warned him. Jakove use his move called Blade Shredder where it shred all kind of sharp weapon.
"Blade Shredder!" (Jakove)
"Right!" (Sonata)
Jakove spin his scythe as fast as he can until it move like a fan. Then, he threw the scythe at all the spikes. The shadow puppet turn in pain & weak. Jakove land on the ground & when the scythe goes back at his place, he quickly grab it.
"You did it! The shadow puppet turn weak. It's our chance to slay it!" (Vassya)
"But how?" (Jakove)
Vassya use her move called Sapphire Fire: a normal Witch Hunter, but it's enhanced with sapphire fire-which is electic blue lightning bolts. His weapon turn into an electric blue lightning lights. She grin at the shadow that are actually staring at her. She quickly jump to the sky and her own scythe are charged & ready to activate it. The sapphire fire rise the power. The shadow puppet can't do anything other than stare at Vassya & she already made the way.
The raining still fade. They covered in rain wet. The electricity react the water at them. The shocking disaster strike Vassya, Ryoku & a shadow. They effect really strong that could make a big light. A few seconds later, the surrounding only with the sound of rain. Vassya & Ryoku goes down to the ground & fainted.
"Vassya!" (Jakove)
Sonata transform herself into human form & rush to Vassya. Jakove carry at her head.
"Vassya, are you okay?" (Sonata)
Vassya open her eyes slowly & with a voice of exhausted. Her clothes are burnt black, including her cheeks.
"Did... did I win..." (Vassya)
Jakove look at Ryoku lay down on ground without any response.
"You took him, but you hurt Ryoku too." (Jakove)
"Which means... I lose... cause... I hurt him... so... badly" (Sonata)
"No, your not. You win! Ryoku always fine." (Sonata)
Then, when Jakove look at the Demon Sword, it suddenly disappear.
"What the-? Where does that sword go?" (Jakove)
"Well, well, well..." (Masamune)
Jakove & Sonata look around them where the places turn go mist again.
"I shall kill your little girl where she laid..." (Masamune)
"Where are you? Show yourself!" (Jakove)
"My guess was right, you are the son of 'Prince of Darkness'." (Masamune)
The mist winds off. Masamune shown he sit on the edge of the statue, wearing a big-rounded hat.
"So, it was you the Demon Sword!" (Sonata)
"Why you keep say that kind of stupid word..." (Masamune)
Masamune jump off the statue & cover his face with his hat.
"How disappointment, your friend can't even defend herself. I bet there some soul inside her would need to wound up." (Masamune)
"Your soul with no mercy. I should get you a revenge!" (Jakove)
"Had I think... you'd be dead if we were unarmed..." (Masamune)
"Sonata! Transform!" (Jakove)
"Okay!" (Sonata)
Sonata transform again into a rose scythe, but Masamune refuse to fight again.
"Don't waste your soul energy, boy... You still young." (Masamune)
Masamune laugh silently.
"Don't you remember? Your father was a Prince of Darkness? Your father was evil, mean, most unstoppable creature in the world. He ruined all over the city, including this village. He wants the power, he don't want courage." (Masamune)
Jakove turned shock. He couldn't believe the fact on what he said about his father.
"He need to abandon human empathy once and for all to become... a 'kishin'." (Masamune)
"No... it isn't true." (Jakove)
"Onii-san, don't listen to him!" (Sonata)
"But I'm not here to downed your emotion..." (Masamune)
Everyone turns into weird reaction.
"What?" (Jakove)
"It's true... The Arachnophobia is not what it's like. It's a plan to revive Asura, not try to ruin the world." (Masamune)
"So, that plan is just for that?" (Sonata)
"Don't keep ask any question. Your father was... the first was he's a good man. A legendary person who respected by everyone. But now, I don't know what happen to him. He made the world a record. He's the hero of Death City. Something happen at his soul, which is contain 50% red deadly blood and 50% are... black blood." (Masamune)
"What? Does my father still alive?" (Jakove)
"I don't know... There's no news about him since 500 years ago..." (Masamune)
The mist are back and this time they can't see his faces no more.
"Keep hunting the real hunter, Jakove Mirosoku! They follow over you." (Masamune)
That was the last word of Masamune before he leave them.
"Onii-san!" (Sonata)
They saw Vassya get up & back to normal. Vassya still refresh her memory.
"W-what happen?" (Vassya)
"It's nothing happen, Vassya. Come on, let's get out of here & get back to Shibusen about the information." (Jakove)
"What about... Ryoku?" (Vassya)
They look at Ryoku's body & Jakove walking toward him. He check Ryoku's pulse at the neck using two fingers.
"He seems alive. He'll get awakes in a few minutes." (Jakove)
Jakove open up the bat wings, while Sonata slowly help Vassya to get on his wing. Then, Jakove fapping & start to fly back to Shibusen. In a few moment later after they leave the location, Ryoku finally awake.
"Ohhh God... W-what just happen? Why did I lay on the ground in the middle of this village?" (Ryoku)
While on a trip to Shibusen, Sonata talking to Jakove.
"Hey One-san, don't you know who your father are?" (Sonata)
"I already know. It's just... wanna know where he was now. I'm keep asking whether he still alive or not." (Jakove)
"About the boy with the purple eyes & white eyes you talked about?" (Sonata)
On that topic, Jakove turn speechless. He never knew anything about the baby carried by his mother in Jakove's family picture. Does Jakove & the other boy named, Pretzel had a relationship?
