Bloodthirsty Reform

As our group exited the portal Ace's outfit went into a big change. He had a long white scarf around his neck with both ends flowing behind him.

He had his robes tied around his waist, A black short sleeved shirt, Two yellow bandanas one each tied around his biceps, his engineer goggles on top of his head, Black shorts, and Brown combat boots.

Breidablik has evolved as well and has taken the form of a Grimoire with Seven Circles representing the elements on it two of which are faded out, and the only ones currently glowing are Fire, Ice, Earth, Thunder, Water, and Light signifying that the Eidolons representing those elements have been obtained.

The Nephilim summoner and his friends looked around the area trying to figure out where they are. A new ally has joined them as well when they were traveling between worlds.

Guy Cecil, a young swordsman who served under House Fabre. He now journey's alongside Ace to find a way back home.

"Where are we, Ace?" Guy asked as he looked around.

"I'm not sure but it looks like some kind of Romanian church." Ace said until he turned to Hisako who was holding her head in pain. "Hisako what's wrong?'

"(Evil Spirits rose from the dead taking the form of corpses.)" Hisako said as she stopped holding her head.

"L-like z-zombies?" Mari asked shaking a bit scared.

"It seems that way. Be ready to defend yourselves." Jago said.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!" A girl screamed in pain.

"Someone's in trouble, let's go!" Ace said as he and the others ran to the source of the sound.

They find the source and saw a girl in a school outfit on the ground wounded alongside a girl with long pigtails in a gothic dress standing on the other side looking at another girl wielding a huge spiked sword. Ace couldn't get a clear look at her face because she had some kind of metal mask on her face.

The pigtailed girl noticed Ace and the others and had a surprised look on her face.

"What the hell?! Where'd you guys come from?!" The girl demanded as she dodged a slash from the metal faced girl.

"We'll explain later, right now it looks like you could use a hand." Ace said as he and his friends went to help until something jumped out of the center of the square.

Ace and the girl looked up to see some kind of beastwoman carrying a girl wearing a cowboy hat, a furry scarf around her neck in a bikini.

"WOOO!" The Cowgirl screamed holding onto the beastwoman.

"YAAAAHOOOO!" The beastwoman yelled in excitement.

"Sis! ...And Kagura?!" The pigtailed girl called out in both relief and shock to the pair.

They then landed on the ground as the beastwoman known as Kagura quickly ran over to the wounded girl.

"Whoa! Saaya! You okay?!" Kagura asked the girl known as Saaya but there was no response. "You did this? Now you DIE!" Kagura said as she pointed at the masked girl.

"Looks like you really gave my sis the runaround. Time to return the favor!" The Cowgirl known as Aya said before she noticed Ace and the others. "And it seems we have company most likely friend but that can wait. Saki! Give some of your blood to Saaya!" Aya said to the girl known as Saki.

"Huh? You really wanna partner up with these guys?!" Saki said with an irritated look on her face as she looked at Saaya.

Saki was then seen being bit by Saaya as she drank her blood like some kind of vampire.

"Don't get...carried...away! No!" Saki yelled as she pushed Saaya off of her and nearly fell to the ground but was luckily caught by Aya.

Then a purple aura sparked around Saaya as she screamed in pain on the ground.

"Sis...Sis! What…?" Saaya said in pain as Kagura crouched over her.

"Saaya! Keep it together!" Kagura said to Saaya.

"Saaya to huh?" Aya said as she held Saki.

Saaya then screamed in pain as she stood up and a flash of light occured. As the light dissipated the group looks to see Saaya's appearance changed.

(Onechanbara-Ichiban wa me)

"Incredible!" Ace said in amazement.

"This power is unlike anything I've ever felt, what are these two girls?" Jago asked sensing the power coming from the transformed sisters.

"Wasn't I...knocked back?" The girl known as Saaya asked herself as she turned to the three girls. "Huh? Sis? Aya? What's…? What...am I…?" She asked the girls and then herself as she noticed her appearance changed.

"A vampiric, but with Baneful Blood…?" Saki weakly said confused.

"Lookin' good Saaya!" Kagura said as she walked up to Saaya. "Now what do you say we kick some ass with our new friends?" She asked as she looked to Ace and the others. "It's Showtime!" She said in Japanese as several undead spirits appeared around them.

"Let's go, everyone!" Ace yelled as he and the others charged in to help out the four girls.

"Angelic Ascent!" Ace shouted as he sprouted angel wings and took to sky bringing a couple of undead with him as he did a spin slash in the air slicing them in half.

"Endouken!" Jago shouted firing a fireball at another group completely burning them.

"Tempest!" Guy shouted doing a vertical spin slash in the air slicing a few more of them in half.

"Awesome!" Kagura said in Japanese as she and Saaya fought the masked woman dealing a lot of damage to her.

The masked woman then ran away and in her place came some kind of monster that looked kinda like a dog. It had one eye, sharp claws, and a tail with an eye and a mind of its own.

"What the hell is that?" Ace asked looking at the creature.

"A hellhound. It was originally created by an evil vampire but it seems someone decided to bring." Aya explained as she threw a couple of knives at some zombies hitting them in the head.

"Alright leave it to me! Hellfire!" Ace shouted as he charged at the hellhound and summoned his gauntlets and greaves. "Get ready for this! It's over! Final Fury!" He shouted as he dealt a barrage of punches and kicks and fired a meteor strike at it finishing it off as he landed on the ground.

Ace then looked around the square to see all of the undead dissolving as he and the others walked over to the girls as they heard the sound of a chopper approaching and saw a military airplane fly over to them as they heard a voice call out to them.

"Sorry, I'm late! You four okay?! Come on, hop aboard with those people!" The female voice shouted as we all got on the plane.

"You all okay?" The woman asked everyone.

"Yeah we're fine, thank you miss…" Ace trailed off not knowing who the woman's name is.

"My name is Anna and who are you?" Anna asked Ace.

"My name is Ace Neptune, leader of Spirit Force." Ace said as he introduced himself to the five girls.

"A pleasure now allow me to explain the situation." Anna said to the four girls. "You're obviously aware of all the strange happenings. But while you were separated...there were more. Japan, the United States, even China… The entire world started getting overrun with undead spirits." She said as Ace and his friends widened their eyes in shock.

"You've got to be kidding me, the whole world is overrun with the things?" Mari asked freaking out before she was bonked on the head with Stoj's frying pan.

"Unfortunately yes. Which is why I must ask for you and your friends' help. Ace, will you all help the girls bring the world back under control?" Anna asked Ace as he thought about it.

"You can count on us Ma'am but which area should we go to?" Ace asked Anna.

"Five countries in particular have seen the most devastating fallout. You can tackle them in any order. The Five countries are Japan, China, Dubai, Peru, and Los Angeles." Anna said explaining which countries were the hotspots.

"We should head to Japan first, that's one of my best friends' home despite it being an alternate earth." Ace said as Anna flew the group to Japan.

As the group flew to Japan. Ace took out his communicator and decided to contact one of the others.

"David? Hope? Jexi? Can any of you hear me?" Ace asked through the communicator trying to get a response from one of his friends.

"Huh? Ace, is that you?" Sectonia asked on the other line.

"Lady Sectonia? I'm glad I got through to you. How are you?" Ace asked.

"Very well, all things considered. We're in the middle of a nature expedition. Heh, literally." Sectonia said.

"Really? Well we've got a big problem over here." Ace said grimly. "We landed on some kind of alternate Earth and it's being attacked by undead spirits. There are five countries that suffered greatly. So we're heading to Japan first." He said.

"Undead spirits? I've been getting nightmares about one in particular, but I don't think you don't need to worry about running into her." Sectonia said.

"Who, Sadira?" Ace asked.

"No. Though, she would still be on the warpath for you on the event she gets freed. I'm talking about...my past self." Sectonia said.

"Oh, you mean the heartless that took the form of your old body. Are you gonna be ok?" Ace asked worried.

"Yes. Thanks for your concern. Deep down, I knew it was going to happen eventually." Sectonia said.

"You all are my best friends. Of course I would be concerned. Also if the time does come for you to face yourself, think about all the people you met and cared about you including David." Ace said as he smiled sincerely.

"I will. Thanks for the pep talk. I really needed that." Sectonia said.

"Of course. Oh, I'm nearing Japan. I'll contact you later. Give everyone my regards." Ace said.

"I will. Be careful out there." Sectonia said.

"Thank you. Bye." Ace said turning off the communicator as he and the others readied their gear and he looked at his pendant clutching it tightly.
