All chapters will be new adventures, I'm kinda setting it out like episodes which actually works better for me :D
Please keep reviewing, I live off them :D
'You know, when he said room, I thought he meant bedroom but not a flat.' Kuroko thought as he was stood in the middle of a flat with wooden flooring, a walk in kitchen in the living room. And green rug with pink around the edge. Pinkish sofa and white coffee take with pink and yellow flowers in a white vase. He felt dizzy being in the flat/room. It goes to show that he really cares about his 'children'. Kuroko sighed to himself. He had not long come back from a mission with Akashi and he was already drained. His first mission was a success but he doubt that he pleased the most scariest guy the school has known. Well, Kuroko didn't really see a problem with Akashi. He was mostly sane and did a good job, he mostly let Kuroko do his own thing. Kuroko guessed that Aomine was right about Akashi being very reliable. Too reliable. If something had gone wrong Akashi would know and pick up where Kuroko had failed. Although he had learned a few things from the red head.

They were good advice that he had learnt in one day and Akashi had let him learn it. Learn from his mistakes and practise in the field. He was a good teacher but he was sure that Akashi was the one person who would never repeat himself. Kuroko sighed again. Well that was enough about that creepy red head. Kuroko took the time to look through the place just so he knew exactly where everything was. He had the place until he found a place of his own. Of course, schools don't pay for accommodation. Kuroko was sure that Aomine and Momoi had their own places that they had go to for now. So, tomorrow Kuroko was going to go out and look for a place of his own. Looking through the books, papers and agencies for a small place for a student to live in. luckily they had been paid a few grand for the job buy the mayor. How he found the money Kuroko didn't know, not that he cared as long as he got the money. Well his plan was set for tomorrow so he guessed he should go to bed. He walked through the small corridor, passed the bathroom and through a door with just a king sized bed. He flopped down and closed his eyes.
"So let me get this straight!" Kise Ryouta smirked as he looked up to his opponent standing on a large boulder above him. The figure was dressed like a ninja with two throwing knives in his hands. The blonde teen dressed in a brown checkered trousers, dark brown shoes, a white top with a red baggy unzipped jacket and a black hat on his head and round his neck was a silver dog tag. He was smirked at his ninja friend dead in the eyes. "You pillage and assassinate for fun, well I've got news for you buddy." Kise was hyped, bright golden lights encased his hands making them non-existent with in the light. "I'm about to cut you down. I'll brighten your day." He placed his hands together above his head before he threw them out in front of him. Long rays of light exploded the boulder the ninja was on before he skilfully moved away. The Ninja appeared behind Kise, Kise quickly swung his leg round to kick him but the ninja back flipped away.
"Cocky." Kise chuckled before going in.
The two exchanged fast punches and kicks before Kise kicked him away and threw a ball of light over to the stunned ninja. Explosion. Rocks covered the ninja on this rocky mountain. Kise just stood straight with his hands in his pockets looking helpless for the ninja. But he had to be stopped. He wasn't dead just heavily knocked out. Kise sighed.
"Well, at least the village can sleep safely now." He said to himself before stretching.
"Kise!" a voice shouted for him and Kise jumped but the sudden shout.
"Ah! Midorimacchi don't do that!" the blonde whined.
Walking towards him was Midorima Shintaro. Black tight trousers and boots, a white shirt with rolled up sleeves and a green unbutton waist coat. His bandaged fingers pushed up his glasses.
"You have stopped the ninja causing grieve for this village. The Master will be please that the job was a success. You should rest, we will be leaving first thing in the morning." He said before looking over to the rock covered ninja, he clicked his tongue. "What a mess." He said before he flicked a finger. The rocks began to lift into the air before moving over with his hand. "We'll tell the chief of the ninja's location."
"But won't he runaway once we leave?" Kise asked.
Before he knew it vines began to cover the body. "I don't think he will." He said before leaving the mountain pass with Kise behind him.
They stayed in a small hut that had two beds in it. Kise immediately dived on top of his bed while Midorima sat on his and opened up a book that he was reading before they attacked the ninja. Kise placed his hands behind his head and took a moment to think. 'I wonder how Aominecchi is? I haven't seen him for a whole week now. I miss him so much.' Kise thought to himself. If it weren't for the tanned male Kise would have been dead. Aomine had found him abandoned in an orphanage on the verge of death by lack of food and water. Kise has been with the family for four years now and he couldn't have been happier. He loved it there. He loved the people minus one individual but what could you do? Anyway he didn't dwell on it too much. In fact, sleep had consumed him faster than he had thought.
By morning the two had left the village via carriage and made their way back. It was a long road back but the two had said nothing to each other throughout the entire morning. They didn't arrive back in Teiko until the afternoon. When they had stopped by the school Kise hopped out and stretched his body and then breathe in a large amount of air.
"We're back!" he said happily.
"Alright." Midorima said as he exited the carriage and joined Kise by the doors. "I'll go and debrief the Master, you go to Aomine and make sure that brute does not do anything stupid." He said before he entered the school.
"Stupid? Aominecchi? Never." He smiled before he rushed off back to where he and Aomine were staying. When he reached the small house Kise burst open the door and shouted, "I'M BACK!" he rushed through inot the living room where he saw Aomine sat on the cream sofa watching the TV, remote in his hand. The tanned teen looked to him with an odd look.
"Kise?" he said before the blonde leaped on him and hugged him to death. "Oi, who do you think you're hugging?" he said as he tried to pry the boy off him.
"But I missed you Aominecchi. Midorimacchi was so mean and rude to me the whole time!" the blonde whined.
"Tsk, he's always been like that Kise." Aomine grunted as he managed to pulled the boy off of him. Kise only smiled. "So, how did the mission go? Are you hurt anywhere?"
'He's s caring.' Kise thought to himself. "Oh no I'm fine. The mission was a success it took us a while to catch the ninja before we caught him. He's being dealt with by the chief of the village. Midorimacchi is debriefing the Master right now." He smiled wider. "So, what's been happening while I was gone?"
Aomine chuckled. "I'm glad you're ok Kise." He said as he lightly stroked the blonde's soft locks. "We have a family member. He started yesterday and went on his first mission with Akashi."
"New member and Akashi. Not a good mix." Kise raised a brow.
"Actually, the new guy said that he was a very god mentor. Akashi pretty much let him be and do what needed to be done."
"What's his name?"
"Kuroko Testuya, I think you'll like him." Aomine smiled.
"Dunno, I have to see him first." Kise smiled back.
Kuroko walked through the playful town looking at agencies or even small apartments for houses. So far nothing has peaked his interest. For a huge town filled as a maze it hard for Kuroko to find anything. Well today he took the time look around and get to know the area more in case Aomine or Momoi wanted to meet somewhere. So far today, Momoi was sent out on a C mission with two others and won't be back for a couple of days, Akashi was out and about but not seen by anyone. Kuroko really had barely anyone to talk to, he had no form of communication with anyone nor did he know where Aomine was staying. It would have been good if he knew where he was. 'Maybe it's something I should have discussed before going on my first mission.' Kuroko thought to himself. He was stood outside a small building that had places for sale in the window. Kuroko scanned each one but all of them were just over his current wage. He sighed heavily 'So one mission just doesn't cut it.' He sighed again.
"Hey Testu!" Kuroko looked over to see Aomine walking up to him with a blonde haired boy in a black hat.
"Aomine." He said quietly.
"Hey, what you doing?" Aomine asked as he placed his hands in his pockets.
"Oh, I was just looking at places to buy but, my current wage can't afford it." Kuroko said looking back to the sales.
"You staying at the school?" Aomine asked.
"Only until I can afford my own place. I don't want to be a permeant residence."
"It takes a few missions to get enough money for place and to keep for paying it." Aomine said with a small smile.
"So, what are you doing out? Got a mission?" Kuroko asked him.
Aomine shook his head. "Nah, Kise just back from his mission so we're going out for lunch." Aomine introduced the smiling blonde.
"Kise Ryouta." Kise introduced and shook hands with the teal haired. "Wanna join us?"
"I'm sorry but I'll just be intruding." Kuroko held his hands up.
"Not a problem, Aominecchi told me all about."
"Aomine-cchi?" Kuroko raised a brow to the tanned male.
"Kise had a habit of adding 'cchi' to the end of people's names he acknowledges." Aomine said looking away from them.
"Kuroko Testuya." Kuroko smiled back to the blonde.
"We'll be great friends Kurokocchi."
An abandoned run down and damaged cathedral. A tall teen dressed in a pink jumper that was loose round his shoulder, a yellow tank top, purple trousers and black shoes. He yawned loudly as he looked to his partner. A black haired boy with his hair covering his left eye, dressed in navy blue zipped wait jacket that showed some neck skin, blue trousers and black shoes. He had two black wrist bands on his wrists and a ring chained around his neck. One was known as Murasakibara Atsushi and Himuro Tastuya, both B's. They were currently searching for a missing scientists that were using the cathedral as a test lab. All around were broken machines and tanks. The two had scouted the building for clues and looked through the files and documents for their current work and for any reasoning of their disappearance. Murasakibara searched with a lollipop in his mouth and a couple more in his back pocket. He hummed as he looked through the files. They could find nothing.
"Ne Muro-chin, I've got nothing on these losers." Murasakibara said before he put down the files he was reading.
"Umm, there doesn't seem to be anything here." Himuro said as he picked up another file to read. "It seems as though they have been doing a series of tests on animal to find the latest development on newly found medicine." Himuro said as he scanned the information.
"Oh, what kind of medicine?" Murasakibara asked.
"Tests were inconclusive. They were probably still testing when they went missing." Himuro said as he placed the documents down on an abandoned desk. He then sighed. "Maybe we should head back?" he asked the tall lazy looking teen.
"The Master has told us to scout the cathedral for clues." Murasakibara explained.
"Well there doesn't seem to be anything here. They weren't murdered and they seem to be ghosts. Whoever did this was very clever in cover themselves up." Himuro stroked his chin. "Crafty."
"It doesn't interest me. I don't care. We've done what needed to be done, now let's head back. I'm hungry." He then complained.
Himuro chuckled. "Let's go to the nearest town and call for a carriage." He smiled.
The two then left the cathedral and travelled the next town to find their transport home.
Aomine yawned in his limp hand. All three boys were sat in a small wood cafe drinking milkshakes and coffee. Kuroko and Kise both spoke about things while Aomine listened. Kise had told Kuroko about his missions and how they fair for every person. It began apparent to Kuroko about the letter system. You can only be promoted by being graded on a mission. The master watches each and every mission and makes up a decision about your grade. Just like promoting a 'child' can be demoted by discipline or bad attitude, one person came to mind in Kuroko's head. The stories were very interesting in Kuroko's opinion. What he was getting was good advice.
"So, Aominecchi told me that you went on your first mission with Akashicchi, is that right?" Kise said leaning closer to the teal head.
Kuroko stopped sipping his vanilla milkshake and nodded. "Yes of course." He said.
"So, what do you think of him?" Kise asked.
"Huh?"
"You know, it's your first time being with the most dangerous 'child' in the family. How do you feel about him?" Kise asked him with a small smile.
"Well, he was a teacher and wasn't really bothered about what I was doing. He mainly let me do the hard work, although he did collect the evidence without me noticing." Kuroko replied.
"Like I said Testu, Akashi is a reliable asset to the battle field." Aomine said as he leaned his head back and closed his eyes.
"Umm, there's something that I don't understand." Kuroko got both eyes on him. "You all keep saying about how dangerous he is but…he rarely did anything. He doesn't seem dangerous to me."
Both Kise and Aomine looked to each other before looking back to Kuroko. "See, not many people experience it. It's a rare situation that he does it." Kise said seeing the confusion in Kuroko's eyes.
"Akashi's fire is dangerous but only he can choose what it does and who it burns. His fire can kill people." Aomine said fear in those blue eyes. "It's rare that it happens."
"The eye that's covered up increases his power and makes him more dangerous. It's not really known what it does because the master refuses to let Akashi use it." Kise said. "It's all linked with his past."
"What happened in his past?" Kuroko asked.
"It's best to ask him that?" Kise said.
"He won't say anything. He looks like the secretive type and if I ask he'll burn me." Kuroko.
"He was heavily abused." Aomine said and the two fell silent. Both eyes stared at him. Kuroko was in shock. "I spoke with the master a year or so ago, not long after Akashi had joined. This information is sealed, don't say anything." Both nodded, not even Kise knew this much. "Akashi was abducted fourteen years ago. He was physically and sexually abused. He was held in a chamber and sealed in chains. He hates to be touched and be incredibly close to people."
Kuroko gasped thinking back to when Akashi had pointed out of the window. 'So that's why he moved away from me, and again in Mayor's house. This is why he hates closure.' He thought as he recalled the memorise.
"I'll never forget the lost look in his eyes. His eyes had not life in them and his left one was damaged and bled. His body broken and neglected. Six months it took Akashi to sort himself out and become the guy his is now. He can't find his parents because he's forgotten them. Torture wiped his memory of his family. Akashi is just a lost soul in the world, he knows it. He knows he can't return to that life." Aomine explained.
Kuroko shocked and upset by that story. To pain someone so much, it was just horrible. "But, what happened to his captors?" Kuroko asked.
"The Master and Nijimura went to scout when they left Akashi in Kiyoshi's care. Everything was burnt. Akashi killed his captors. He must have gotten to a certain point where his unleashed his power. I think that that is the reason as to why his left eye is covered up. Only the Master, Nijimura and Kiyoshi know about it. I just asked but promised never to say anything. The reason as to why that rule exists is because Akashi is not stable. He awaken his power at a high level and he cannot control the full extent of it. The Master sends him out on dangerous missions to hopefully have his power under control." Aomine explained in more depth. "Look, just don't confuse him, he's already lost. Give him some space."
"Noted." Kuroko said as he sipped in his milkshake.
"Come on, let's head back to the school and see if we're needed." Aomine said as he stood up.
Shirogane sat at his desk with Murasakibara and Himuro standing before him. They had just debriefed him on their findings but the result was not what he was expecting. He hook his head and sighed. "So, you're telling me that there is nothing that gives us hints on where the scientists are or what had happened?" he asked them.
"No master, we looked through their files and documents. They were currently testing for newly found medicine when they were mysteriously vanished." Himuro replied.
"I see, do you think that this new medicine was their downfall?" the master asked as he leaned back in his chair crossing his arms.
"I have reason to believe." Himuro nodded.
"You have been looking for a number of weeks in other areas of their bases yet they all say the same. Something very strange is occurring here." Shirogane closed his eyes for a moment before he looked back at the two. "I thank you, if you see Aomine tell him to come to me at once. You are dismissed." He nodded and watched the two leave them room. "This most troublesome but we will keep this investigation quiet for now. Something strange is happening."
Upon entering the hall seeing that barely anyone was there, most likely on missions or just taking the day off. Aomine walked over to the bar where he saw Akashi standing there talking to Murasakibara. As they drew close, Himuro – who was standing not far from Murasakibara – looked to him and smiled slightly.
"Back so soon. I thought B's were out for longer periods of time?" Aomine smiled.
"Depends on the mission" Himuro then looked behind to see Kuroko and Kise approaching. "I see you've got your partner back." He said seeing Aomine's face have a faint glow f red, he then looked away from Himuro.
"S-Shut up." Aomine said in embarrassment.
"I see we've also gained a new face."
"Eh? Oh yeah Testu. He came yesterday." Aomine said.
"What is he? A package?" Himuro smiled. "Anyway, The Master asked for you. I think he has a mission lined up for you."
"Ah, cool." Aomine smiled. He turned to Kise and Kuroko telling them to wait there while he went to see the master. He was so happy that he bounced with every step to the office.
"Must have been a while since you've been on the battle field then." Himuro said leaning back with a smile. "It's good to be home."
"So, I heard you had something lined up for me?" Aomine smiled as he stood happily in front of his master. Shirogane huffed and laugh as he leaned back in his chair.
"What makes you say it is a mission?" he teased, he could see Aomine's gleaming eyes. "Ok, I want you to take Kuroko and Kise with you. I want the two of you to solve the mystery behind Petal Glaze."
"Petal Glaze?" Aomine questioned.
"Something strange is happening in an abandoned city. A strange light appears every night and loud roar. I want the three f you to investigate."
"Would Testu be alright?"
"My child, the reason is to use him to the best of his ability. In order to promote him I need to see what he is capable of."
"What about his first mission?"
"Akashi analysed him but didn't feel the need to promote him. Kuroko was just using his head but never had the need to use his power much. This mission will give him that chance. Make sure he gets stuck in or he won't move up the ranks." Shirogane replied.
"I understand. I'll take them with me."
"Do not rush this, take your time and remember; Kuroko needs a few missions to grasp the opportunities. I want him to understand the system. Teach and show him the makings of a C." Shirogane said as he handed Aomine the file. "Go debrief your team and get started." He said. Aomine nodded and walked out of the room.
All three sat in the carriage on their way the abandoned city where the sights have occurred. Kise was very much into the mission but Kuroko was unsure. It seemed like an odd one to him. Because of his first mission he thought they were out to stop crime but that doesn't seem to be the case. As Aomine had pointed out that the missions are a different range. Some are to do with crime others are mission like this. Upon reaching the grey stoned city that was slowly turning to dust, all three exited the carriage. The town was huge as if giants lived there. The floor was just dust and the building were damaged and eroding. Somewhere in the city is a light that occurs every night and usually followed by a roar. Travellers often experience this.
All three looked around to spot any evidence behind the sights. Kise looked in a couple of buildings, Aomine jumped from roof to roof seeing if there was anything he could spot from above while Kuroko continued walked through. He was looking around the trails and down every alleyway. He was doing what Akashi had taught him. Look for anything that can be used as evidence in your findings. Took long and hard looks just to make sure that he didn't miss anything.
"Over there!" they heard Aomine shouted and all three rushed to where Aomine had spotted something useful. From above he had seen a large summoning circle with pillars surrounding it. The circled was engraved deep within thick grey stone. Aomine stepped onto the circled and reached the middle where he crouched down to take a closer look. He stroked the rock with his fingers before looking around the large engraving.
"Do you think someone is using this and trying to summon something?" Kise asked him.
"I dunno, but whatever it is and it's taken a while to do it, it must be something dangerous." Aomine said.
"They might trying to summon something powerful, but why?" Kuroko questioned.
"I'm not sure, but we can't let that happen." Aomine said as he took another close look.
Something quickly caught his eye. A thin layer of rock that seemed to be fading. But what he saw was even more shocking. Below something big and black was underneath.
"Guy's we need to get down there." Aomine said as he stood.
"Why don't we use those stairs that seem to be oddly placed?" Kise pointed to stone steps leading down the side of the rock.
"That's very oddly placed." Kuroko said before he followed the two down the steps.
Slowly and carefully they made their way down to a cave entrance. All three were just confused by the lay out of the place. Large buildings, a summoning circle and now stairs leading down to a cave. Anyway, they entered the cave which was light slightly by the purple rocks within it. The followed the trail into a large clearing. What they saw took their eyes completely. A large monster. Standing on two legs, arms for wings and a heavy body covered in thick skin. It liked like it was frozen in time. Chains were covering it as if it was never to be released. All three stood there in shock.
"What is that?" Kise asked but no replied the answer straight away.
"Whatever the hell it is it sure as hell isn't supposed to be released." Aomine said.
"They might be trying to undo time." Kuroko said.
"Huh?" Kise said looking to the smaller teen.
"That thing is frozen in time. Someone sure went to a lot of trouble just to make sure it was never released. However, I think someone is trying to resurrect it." Kuroko explained.
"Why the hell would they do that?" Kise asked.
"Maybe because it has done a lot of damage that they want to use it for their own benefit." Kuroko answered.
"Well they can't do it." Aomine said and both boys looked to him. "If this thing is so dangerous why would anyone ever want to release it?" but then one person came to mind. "Well, Kiyoshi would for the fun of it." He said with a painful expressed. Haizaki would never be able to control a beast this powerful.
"Well whatever it does, we'll have to wait until tonight to see what exactly is going on and try and stop them." Kise said crossing his arms. "Wouldn't this mission be suit able for B's or even the A's?" he questioned.
"You kidding, can you see the A's doing this type of mission? They wouldn't take it seriously, and don't even get me started on the B's." Aomine answered him.
"Ok, ok." Kise put his hands up in defence. "I was just a rhetorical question."
"What?!" Aomine shouted at the blonde.
Kuroko just stared at the monster thinking about his limitations. This was a completely different mission than his last and was properly trained for it. Maybe this was their training?
Night soon drew in and the trio where staking out in a nearby building. Aomine was watching from where a window should have been. There was no movement as of yet but there may be soon and Aomine was not going to take the risk. He watched with a trained eye. But he couldn't were strange people walking into the city. They were little clothed in loincloths and al sorted. They crouch walked through and humming to themselves as they walked over to the summoning circle. They had now caught Aomine's attention.
"They're the natives from a nearby forest." Aomine and then looked to Kise and Kuroko "Guy's lets go." He said and then jumped out of the window with Kise and Kuroko following. They sneakily hiding all the way up so none of them were caught by the natives. When they reached the circled all three hid behind the closest building and watched as they wall gathered in the circle. They all now began to hum and sing in sync in a strange language. The engraved circle began to glow a faint purple before brightening as the singing continued. They hands were now up in the air and began to dance.
"You were right Kuroko, they're summoning that beast." He said before the loud roar took over his voice.
The natives were getting excited over it when they heard the roar.
"No." Kuroko had suddenly realised, people like them don't summon monsters for evil. They summon them as God's sometimes even sacrificing an dead animal or live human. There was none of that. They must be trying to release a lost God. "They're not releasing it as monster for evil, they're releasing it as a God!" Kuroko said to the two.
"What?! How the hell do we defeat a God?!" Kise shouted over the loud roar. The ground began to shake violently which sent them to the floor. "What do we do?!" Kise shouted.
"If they're releasing in them one of us must be down below to stop in from resurfacing!" Aomine replied, the beat roared loudly again. "I'll get down and drown it! You guys either distract or scare the natives off while I deal with it. Should it surface we have to go all out. That includes you to Testu!" he saw Kuroko nod before nodding himself. "Let's go!" A
All three took the chance and stood up, rushing towards the natives. They stoop and hissed when they saw them running over. Aomine swiftly dodged them as they tried to grab or hit him. He successfully made it to the stairs and hastily rushed down them.
"Come on, it can't be that bad." Kise smirked to the angry natives, all waiting to pounce. "I'll brighten your day." He said as he lifted his hand up in the air. A beam of light came down and forced the natives away as it disburse. With two fingers up and together, Kuroko and placed them to his head. Before saluting, frosty ice shot forwards like wind and pushed them back from him.
Aomine had reached the loud beast that was now slowly beginning to move. Aomine growled before he slammed his hands onto the floor. Water began to shot out from the floor and began to fil the cave. Kuroko kicked a native away from him before he spun round and fired a long thick shard towards a group them, upon impact the shard transformed into a group of them, sharp and at different height's, knocking them back. He then dodged a rock that was thrown at him. Kise shot many beams of light at them whilst dodging a few attacks. He dodged under and leg of kicking native, he got up and shot him away by touching his face. Kuroko stretched out his hands to the side and covered the floor with ice which made the floor slippery for the natives. By now some of them had left while others wanted to kill. However Kuroko and Kise proved too much that they abandoned the summoning and scattered.
"You have Ice Magic?" Kise asked with a smile.
"You have Light Magic?" Kuroko asked back before the chuckled at each other.
Aomine by now had almost completely covered the cave with water. The beast was moving slightly faster than usual. Aomine was now floating the water his hand stretched out to make more water. The monsters roars were now dull and quieter in water. Suddenly it moved his body with such force that the chains broke. Aomine was in shock. The beast began to surface.
Kuroko and Kise were taken aback when the ground shook again and the circle was cracking.
"W-What's going on?" Kise asked just before the ground broke and the beast crawled out of the hole, now standing before them. "No way." Kise was lost for words. "It's free." The beast roared loudly that nearly deafened them.
"Kise! Testu!" they heard the shout. They looked over to see a wet Aomine crawling out of the water. He was on his knees trying to get his breath back from the sudden shock. "I couldn't drown it, it refused to die." He said.
"Don't worry, we can take him." Kise smiled before helping the brute onto his feet.
"We need a plan of attack." Kuroko said as he came closer.
"We need to be in sync with each other, attack on after another. It's the only thing we can do for as small team." Aomine said to them and the two nodded.
The monster was on the rampage and began destroying the town even more than it already was. It roared loudly as it destroyed. It was a loose cannon. Above n a tall building. Aomine shot his hands forward as a tornado of water knocking it off its feet. The monster was not happy. Back on its feet a large bean of light flew down and hit its thick body and exploding, it roared loud in pain. A large shard of ice pierced its belly pushing it up and back. The monster then began to run.
"Oh crap, let's go!" Aomine shouted as the trio now moved to catch up.
Catching up Aomine jumped and came down with his fist out, beside him was a large version of his fist made out of water. He punched the creature down such water pressure. Kise, as fast as light was encase in the golden light and like a ping ball machine, he bounced of the buildings, zigzagging towards it and hitting it with full force of light. Kuroko slid on an ice trail he was creating before jumping up above the creature completely, he threw a hand down and thousands of ice shard rained down stopped the monster in its tracks. Now it took its time to breathe while Kuroko landed next to Kise and Aomine the roof of building above.
"Damn, this thing won't stay down!" Aomine cursed.
"What do we do?" Kise asked.
"I know, I've got a technique that will finish it." Kuroko said catching the two's attention. "I learnt it before I came here." He looked to them. "I think it will help."
"If you can, use it." Aomine said.
"Ok." Kuroko said.
The teal head breathed in before he jumped high above everything. Curling his body up before stretching his arms hand and hands parallel to each other and ice forming around them. He stretched his arms, legs and even his head back as far as they would go, ice frost covered the heavy winds. He shot his body back, arms reached out in front of him. Ice flew down to the creature making a trail, covering the floor below. Thick and heavy ice covered the area before a larger group of sharp ice shot out and pierced the beast's body from all areas. Finally the ice around shattered a scattered, cutting up the skin before the beast finally died. Kuroko breathed out before landing back on the roof with Aomine and Kise.
"Whoa, that was some surprisingly awesome skill you have there, Testu." Aomine patted the boy's back.
"AMAZING KUROKOCCHI!" Kise squealed.
"Like I said it was the only thing that I learnt before I came here." Kuroko explained.
"That's alright, you'll expand." Aomine smiled before giving him the thumbs up.
"So it looks like the end of our mission." Kise said.
"Yep, lets head back. The beast is dead and we don't need to worry about the natives. The summon circle is broken so there's no using it anymore." Aomine said. "Come on, let's get back."
Shirogane smiled at what he saw. He looked to the three people in the room. A brunette, a black haired and a red haired. The three had been summoned to the room to analysis the mission and if they should move up a rank.
"So, what do you make of Kuroko?" he asked them.
"He has a lot of potential, I can see him flying through the ranks." Said the brunette.
"I have to say, that technique was quite powerful, but I'm not convinced of that 'potential' you were talking about." Nijimura said looking to the brunette with his arms crossed. "What do you make if it Akashi?" he then looked to the red head who had his hands in his pockets.
"Kuroko will grow strong there's no doubt about that. From what I have seen from him so far I don't think D will suit him. Kuroko had proven himself worth and from what I see he'll be just fine. Kuroko has a new rank. But what intrigues me is that Ryouta has grown incredibly strong. I would recommend a promotion but also a demotion." Akashi explained.
"Demotion? Who?" the brunette asked him.
"Haizaki Shougo does not deserve to be a B, demote him C if he isn't happy then a D will just suit him even better." Akashi said.
"Yes." Shirogane considered as he leaned back stroking his chin. "He has been quite troublesome as if late. Very well, he will be demoted to C but should he complain or take revenge then a D it is." Shirogane made the final decision.
Making it back into the hall, they froze with fear. Everyone was looking at them like hawks. They weren't sure if they should walk forwards and stay put. Up above where the A's standing with Shirogane. Now something was up, they slowly moved into the centre of the room and stopped watching everyone.
What was going on?
Suddenly they all began to clap. Caught off guard, wide eyes looked around to their now happy faces. Then they looked up to the master.
"I would like to congratulate you on mission. What I have seen is truly remarkable. This is the work that is f Winter High students and my children. I am very proud. Although your mission was to stop whatever was causing the sights I never would have expected a beast frozen in time. For that you have saved thousands of lives without even realizing it. Well done my children. However, I've to come down to a disappointing note. One of you will be demoted. I know it is upsetting hear but the chosen person has been on my radar for countless days. This person will be demoted to C." he said, he could hear the shock them talking about a B going to a C. "This person is Haizaki Shougo."
"What?! After everything I have done!" the grey head boy slammed his fist on the table as he stood.
"You're attitude and behaviour is unacceptable. I will not tolerate it anymore."
"You stupid old man!"
"You may be missing the point." Akashi spoke as he leaned on the banister with his arms. "Starting fights is not our policy. If I were the Master I would have removed you personally. Accept your new rank as C, if not D is very fitting for you." He smirked. "Either way it's not news for you."
Haizaki just growled.
"On a lighter and more positive note." Shirogane spoke up. "Kuroko Testuya, after having watched you latest mission and discussing it with the A's, you are now an official C. Congratulations."
Kuroko stood in shock upon hearing this. He had jumped a rank. How did he do that?
"Whoa congrats buddy." Aomine patted him on the back.
"That's awesome, you're the same as us." Kise smiled.
Kuroko could not believe he was a C, he was no longer the new member, no longer the baby. He was stronger now. So now he will strive forwards for new goals.
Everyone drank to the celebration.
