Chapter 6 - Tournament
Aiko and Akio were back in Aurora. They had just gotten to the Aurora Castle and were getting ready for the festival. Aiko had given Eve a blue mini hooded cape that had a mini snowflake shawl pin, while Shiro had a white mini shawl that had a mini pink heart shawl pin. Akio had given his pokemon black bowties. Since the two of them were the reincarnations of the previous Moon twins and had the same names, they were going to use their middle names; Aoi and Aka.
"Eve, Shiro, do you think we can win the tournament?" Aiko asked her partners. "I bet we could!" Eve and Shiro nodded. There was a knock on her door.
"Come in." She said. Oichi stepped into the room.
"Several warlords and junior warlords have already arrived." She said. Aiko nodded and walked out of the room, Oichi following.
Akio walked outside of the castle. He saw his sister talking to several other people he didn't recognize.
"Aki-err Aka, we better hurry and get to the place where the tournament will be!" Aiko said. She ran off. Akio followed, sighing at his sister's energy.
The tournament board was just getting set up. They were still drawing names. Akio saw his name...next to someone named Kanetsugu. Aiko was all the way on the other side, and when he looked at the top of the board he saw that there was going to be a three-way battle for the three finalists!
"Aik- Aoi, did you know that the three finalists are going to have a three-way battle?" Akio asked.
"No way! Well...if you win all of your fights, and I win all of mine, we'll meet in the finals~!" Aiko said, grinning. "Think you can?"
"Do I think I can? Of course I can!" Akio replied. "See you in the finals!"
"Okay! Good luck, bro!" Aiko said.
Aiko and Akio both worked their way up the chart, and so did another person. The mysterious girl. She did look like what the rumors said, but she had bangs covering her left eye. She wore a short pink kimono with sakura patterns, and a bandage around her left hand. A Ducklett was on her right shoulder, a Dragonair was on her left, a Servine on her right, a Lucario behind her, and an Eevee that battled. Masamune also patted her head once and she blushed red when he did and told him not to. He stuck his tongue out at her when she did, and people realized that the two of them were pretty good friends. Her name was Aurora. But she liked to be called Aura.
When it was time for the final battle, the three of them, Aiko, Akio and Aura, took their places. At the betting table, the other warlords were watching.
"I bet all my money on Aka." Kenshin said.
"Betting on Aoi." Shingen said.
"I'm going to bet a bit on Aoi." Ginchiyo said.
"Gonna bet on Aura." Masamune said. Everyone at the table gave him a look, and he blushed. "Cause she's my junior warlord, you imbeciles!"
"Begin!" The referee shouted.
"Eve! Let's do this!" Aiko said.
"Kuro, don't let me down!" Akio said.
"Lilac, we can win this!" Aura said. A Glaceon, Umbreon and Eevee were on the battlefield.
"Start with Icy Wind on Kuro!" Aiko commanded.
"Dodge then use Dark Pulse on Eve!" Akio ordered.
"Lilac, use Shadow Ball on both of them." Aura said. Eve sucked in air then exhaled at Kuro, making an icy breeze go toward him that he dodged and used Dark Pulse at Eve, which hit. Lilac jumped into the air and had multiple Shadow Balls rain on them. Eve ran around to dodge, and Kuro just stayed put due to his slow speed. When Lilac was finished, she landed on the ground with grace.
"Dig!" All three of them shouted at the same time. They looked at each other with wide eyes, the twins realizing who the other person was and vise versa.
"Heh, who would've thought that you were also kidnapped by Celebi." Akio said.
"I wouldn't say kidnapped. Besides, you've been missing back at home for a year. Probably more know, because we've turned seventeen." Aura replied. The crowd gasped, except a few people that already knew.
"Well, we're going by our middle names in this festival, Aurora." Aiko said.
"MY NAME IS AURA!" Aura shouted. "Lilac, once you meet them underground use Shadow Ball!"
"When you meet the others, use Iron Tail!" The twins shouted. Noises from the holes they dug were heard. Then silence. One pokemon was coming out, dragging the other two, which had fainted. Everyone looked, wondering which pokemon hadn't fainted. They saw a black tail, then the body. The winners were Akio and Kuro.
After Akio and received his Drifloon egg, he had gone off on his own. Aiko and Aura were talking.
"What happened when you came to Ransei?" Aiko asked.
"Well...I apparently landed near Avia, and my pokemon were with me. Masamune found me and brought me back to his castle. When he learned that I had psychic powers, he asked if I would join his army. Then after a little, a became a Junior Warlord." Aura said.
"Cool!" Aiko said. "I was found by Oichi. Then I became Warlord of Aurora along with Akio. Then Ignis. And yesterday I conquered Greenleaf."
"Already? Wow!" Aura said, clearly impressed.
"I know right?" Aiko grinned. "I'm getting hungry. Wanna go get some ponigiri?"
"Sure." Aura smiled. "But soon I have to make sure that all the names are in the bag. Y'know, for the song. I wonder who'll get it this time."
"I bet it'll be torture for most of the men. So if one of the girls gets it, they'll be so happy." Aiko giggled. Aura nodded in agreement. The two of them continued to talk.
When it was night, Aura was at the mic with a bag of names.
"So, whoever gets picked has to sing a song. And everyone has an assigned song that they'll have to sing." Aura said, smirking. "And this year's opening festival song is going to...Yukimura Sanada...with Hawk of Green Night." An irritated Yukimura sighed and walked up to the stage.
Hawk of Green Night - Yukimura Sanada Image Song (Going to put the english translation instead of japanese lyrics)
Looking above
at the cloudless sky
my mind and my heart
becomes one with the penetrating blue
I leave now to my last battle
grasping this spear, I go
Heading towards the angered sun
I advance and fly true
like the brave hawk
Ah, my life
shall scatter in a way befitting a warrior
To know at last my way of living
and my reason for being born in this chaos
I have had considerable meetings and farewells
My friends, let us meet again at the other shore
with our minds cleared and with proud smiles
like we did long ago
To you, who have always followed
my back so faithfully,
I would like to say to you
how grateful I truly am
The winds of the land shift quickly
and blow fiercely towards the enemy
Even so, until I at last expire,
my only path is forward
like the hawk of the heavens
Ah, my life
has been one without regret
This will shall be carried out
to give reason to this blossoming life
The many battles and smiles
and the remnants of my memories
are held tight within my chest, even within the dust that rises
as I stand before the enemy
Ah, my life
shall scatter in a way befitting a warrior
To know at last my way of living
and my reason for being born in this chaos
I have had considerable meetings and farewells
My friends, let us meet again at the other shore
with our minds cleared and with proud smiles
like we did long ago
Ah, my life
has been one without regret
This will shall be carried out
to give reason to this blossoming life
The many battles and smiles
and the remnants of my memories
are held tight within my chest, even within the dust that rises
as I stand before the enemy
As Yukimura finished the song, the audience all clapped. He stepped down from the stage. There were fireworks to signal the opening of the festival, which lasted for three days. Aiko and Akio both knew that this was going to be a very interesting festival.
Aura: You just had to drag me into this, did you? -.-'
Me: Yes, yes I did. :3
Akio: ._. I'm amazed that I won.
Me: Didn't you know that Umbreon was a tank? Not as good as Vaporeon, but still pretty good~
Aiko: Aww, I wanted a Drifloon!
Me: So, from now on there will be a question at the end of a chapter and a fun fact! :3
FUN FACT(s): Historically, Hanbei is two years older than Kanbei, Yukimura was born the same year as Hanbei, Masamune is four years younger than Gracia and twenty three years younger than Yukimura, and Oichi is a year(or two) younger than Hanbei. And the song is what Yukimura was thinking in Samurai Warriors 3 at his final battle at Osaka.
QUESTION OF THE CHAPTER: If you have played pokemon conquest or something like that(which I'm assuming you have), who is your favorite warlord(not junior warlord) and what's your favorite and least favorite battle field?
Akio: Vote for who you want to be with Aiko, and I think that was more than one question. XD
Me: :P
