Chapter 7-Autumns melochony
it was a sunny morning as two bandits made off with a womans purse "hehe we scored pretty big" the bandit laughed but then xero came and unleashed a barrage of magic as he was blasted through a tree then billy drop kicked the other bandit and knocked him out "We make a good team old friend" xero smiled and patted his friend on the back "Hell yeah" billy said
they took the purse and gave it back to the lady in the human village "Thank you xero, you are a true community hero" she smiled "Just happy to help" xero said.
Billy and xero went for lunch and drinks and had a nice chat "So how has life been lately?" xero asked "Well I just got my new name seems I am to be called Trejin now pretty cool eh?" Billy said "Yeah really bad ass name." Xero smiled and finished his lunch.
"Oh yeah keep this to yourself for now but me and Senae kochiya are expecting a kid, turns out shes preggers." Trejin said "Damn already? Your a real ladys man I'll give you that, have you considered you know?" Xero hummed "Marriage? Well maybe, not sure yet." Trejin sighed.
Xero smiled and gulped his drink "well the path is yours to choose I cant show you the door" he replied.
"Gensokyo is a wonderful place isnt it Xero?" trejin smiled and went home to the moya shrine.
Xero decided to potrol the forest of magic for any bad guys maybe later he'd go hang out at the tengu city and buy some manga after all they where one of the more advanced places in gensokyo anyway "hello ze" marasa waved and xero hugged her "good to see you Marasa" xero said "I heard you are an archmage now thats amazing even I've never reached that level of power you've come a long way" marasa smiled "i had good teachers like you and patcholui to help me along the way" xero smiled and ruffled her hair playfully.
The two walked together and hung out for a while "Xero I feel there is a storm coming" marasa sighed sadly "dont worry we can take on anything" xero said and they he went home and took a nap and did some reading.
"oh yeah I have yukaris meeting I better get going" he thinked
xero got his archmage jacket that was black and gold and then went out it was a dark night and the rain was heavy and stormy "what a shitty night" he sighed and wondered hoe moku was lately as he had not seen her for a while "I guess kanies death cut her up" he sighed and went to the building in the human village where the meeting was going to happen.
Xero opened the doors into a large meeting hall full of youkai and maids and yukari sat in the center "so glad you scould make it xero grab him!" she ordered and two enforcer youkai held him "What the fuck is going on!" xero roared in anger "xero we plan to ensure that magic returns to all things and the youkai rule supreme we want you to join us you see...I WAS THE ONE THAT BROUGHT YOU HERE LAST YEAR!" yukari smile.
It was all falling into place now, everything made sense "you see you are the key to the world xero, we brought you here, raised you, trained you to become powerful." yukari said as she snapped her fingers and patcholi came into the room "I am sorry xero but my feelings for you where still true please here mistress yukari out." patchloui said
xero clenched his fist "you fucking...bitch...you used me..." he said his eyes darkened. The teacher he admired, the one that helped him learn, took him in when he ended up in gensokyo...she used him the entire time
"Why what was all this about..." xero asked in sadness "you have old blood in you, you are a desendant of the old mage merlin, you have inside you blood of philopshers and we need that...If you join us you can be great, you will have a place in the new world. Think of the gifts we gave you xero, in a sense you are like the son I could never have." Yukari smiled as she teleproted in front of him to steal a kiss
xero tried to think about it maybe this wasnt so bad "the humans kill and murder and turn the earth into a waste and there diesease is infecting gensokyo now...but we don't wish them exterminated just controlled, we want to bring the old world back by merging gensokyo and the outside world together and then wipe it clean to create a new universal gensokyo a land seeped in pure magic." yukari grinned.
This went against all of xero kitas ideals "racism...I will never SUPPORT RACISM YUKARI! WHY CANT HUMAN AND YOUKAI LIVE TOGETHER AS ONE?!" he screamed in anger.
"just like kanie...you all have to hold onto your IDEALS! Why can't you just accept that life is not fair DEAL WITH IT XERO! Well theres tons of ways to crack an egg..." yukari said as they opened a door and brought a drooling man tied to a chair in who was giddy like a five year old...It was Trejin or better known as billy "WHAT DID YOU YOUKAI FUCKS DO TO HIM!" He cryed out "a little trick you humans used to call a full frontal lobotomy...he cryed for you and the shrine maiden before we fixed him now hes no better than an infant, such a waste." Yukari sighed.
"his brain matter was yummy" rumia laughed blood dripping from her mouth.
Xero powered up as his anger exploded and a red aura surronded him as he was powered by his blood alone "YUKARI YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" xero screamed as he fought his way through the youkai smashing them around "MASTER SPARK!" he shouted blasting some grunts aside and then casting a barrage of fire balls as he wounded even more youkai troops.
Xero then charged at youkai and unleashed a powerful magic punch at her but she blocked and kicked him into a wall "we tought you everything you know xero you are only an archmage because of us!" Yukari laughed
xero jumped back and shot a beam of pure ice but yukari blocked it using her gaps "so weak but you could become powerful" she smiled and then xero teleported forwarding punching at her hundreds of times but she managed to dodge every blow and then unleashed a wave of pure energy blasting him across the room as xero was covered in blood.
Yukari yakamko floated towards him "it need not be this way xero." she smiled lifting him up as she locked him in a passionate kiss feeding dark energy into his body and it felt good xero thought as yukari corrupted him even more with dark power.
Xero fell to the ground to catch his breath as his body glowed and he began to float and was covered in glowing runes "embrace it xero taste our power and see the universe as we do" yukari grinned and then xero exploded into pure magical energy as his being body and soul where changed and shifted.
Xero now stood with long silver hair and an elegent mages staff with a pure emerald at the tip and he was more powerful "you are a youkai like us, how do you feel?" yukari asked "It feels fucking amazing!" Xero smiled and grabbed her as he forced her into a kiss "Welcome to your new existence" yukari giggled and all the youkai in the room clapped and cheered.
Power flowed through him as the darkness took xero, all his humanity had finally left him.
And the long winter was coming.
