"Well that was fun," Poppy said as she re-holstered her gun. Leon pulled Janet up as she coughed out several pebbles. Once fully out, she cracked her back much to her pain. "Well looks like we did it." Ness called as he looked over the balcony.
"Is everyone alright? Any wounds?" Jace looked at everyone. Janet and Leon raised their hands. "Ya, I got shot," Janet said, wincing. Jace looked closer, seeing the blood stain on Janet's shoulder. Lifting up her sleeve, Jace began to dig into the wound much to everyone's displeasure. They all looked away, turning to their 'leader'.
"Alright, so we should probably get going now." Ness said heading towards the exit. "It's like 11 pm. I don't know about you, but I'm going to bed." Poppy said, moving past their leader down the stairs. Ness just stopped and looked skeptically at her.
"And who's going to pay for all of this?" He asked, crossing his arms.
-Symphony of the Eight-
"I can't believe I had to pay for all our rooms," Ness complained, handing money to the female receptionist. "Well, you are pretty rich. I mean, doesn't your dad like work at a bank?" Jace chuckled.
"Hey, you guys are richer than me!" Ness turned, accusing the twins. "That's Raychale's money, not ours," Janet countered, as she walked to the nearby elevator.
"Well, I bought two rooms: one for the boys and the other for girls." The receptionist then handed two key cards to the boy, which he gladly took.
He then handed the spare card to Lexi. "Alright then, it's been fun, but I want to go to bed. Goodnight everybody." Cien yawned out as she walked to the elevator.
The rooms were luxurious; 3 beds a couch, with a TV in front of it, a tan and brown color scheme with a balcony overlooking a beautiful nighttime Vegas and a vast desert not too far behind.
The girls all put down their bags as they took a bed. "Alright, well who's sleeping where?" Poppy and Janet just walked past her as they plopped on the couch. "Well, I guess we'll take the beds?" Lexi scratched her head, but didn't question it.
Cien went into the bathroom as Poppy and Janet removed their shoes, putting their feet up on the coffee table and surfing though channels. Green put her sword and shield to the side of her bed as she also removed her boots. She turned to Lexi, who was laying in the bed next to her, staring into at the hologram.
Cien exited the bathroom dressed in her pajamas, which were an oversized green t-shirt with a white star and neon green pants with black stars all over it. Janet turned her head from the couch, giving a grin.
"Nice outfit. Did your grandma give it to you?" Janet laughed. Cien just ignored it as she flopped down on the bed, falling asleep on impact. Janet rolled her eyes as she undid her ribbon, letting her hair fall. "What do you guys think the sanctuaries are like?" Lexi asked, turning off the hologram.
Green put a finger to her chin, thinking. "I don't know. Hopefully, it's not a dungeon or something." Green said, removing her cap.
"Well, whatever it is, we can handle it. I think we make a great team." Lexi cheered.
Janet looked uninterested as she just kept surfing channels as Poppy fell asleep. Janet sighed as she looked back at the two girls.
"Well whatever. We should get some sleep; we need to get there as soon as possible." Janet turned off the TV as she headed to the bathroom. Green gave a sigh as she lazed on the bed. "Well, I guess we'll figure it out tomorrow."
-Symphony of the Eight-
By morning, everybody was out and about, downstairs at the breakfast table eating pancakes. Lexi continued to look at the hologram, gaining some stares from some civilians.
"Lexi, I think you should put that away; it's attracting some unwanted stares." Cien whispered from across the table.
Lexi put the stone away, going back to her food. Although she didn't show much interest, Paul took notice.
"You aren't going to eat?" Paul asked, showing slight concern. Lexi looked up, as if thinking of something to say.
"Well…" Lexi scratched her chin. Taking out a pen, she drew a quick map of the world on a napkin, placing dots all around in different sanctuary spots.
"This is what's bothering me." Everyone gathered around looking at the makeshift map.
"Uhh." Leon scratched his head.
"All of the locations around the world are so far between. They have no distinct pattern or line, and if my calculations are correct than that jet wouldn't have enough fuel to get to where we need to go." Lexi voiced their dilemma. Everyone seemed to slump in their seats as they heard the news.
"Well, whatever. We'll think of something." Janet said, as she leaned back in her seat.
"I'm with Janet on this one. We'll find a way to get around, somehow. I mean, we're heroes, right?" Cien agreed, to everyone's shock.
Lexi just sighed and smiled as she nodded."Ya."
The rest of the breakfast went on alright. Everyone was fooling around until…
"Hey guys, watch this!" Janet took Jace's hand and a fork. "Wait, what are…ow!"
Everyone flinched but the moment was lifted when she showed the fork completely bent backwards. Jace laughed as he showed the small cuts were the fork bent as it immediately closed up and healed. Everyone laughed, even managing a chuckle from Paul.
"Wait, wait…watch this." Cien got everyone's attention. Putting her palm out, she concentrated as a white star appeared in her hand. Everyone 'oohed' and 'awed' at the display. The sparkling star floated around everyone until it broke apart into tinier stars, then to nothing.
Everyone was laughing until Ness noticed something. He looked around to see some scared people; some were backing up or even leaving.
A few police officers came up to the table. All the kids froze. Ness decided to answer in a cool manner.
"Problem Officer?" Poppy chuckled a little, but was ignored.
The first of the group of officers pointed to the weapons that the team possessed. "You're minors with dangerous weapons. For your own safety, I have to confiscate them and bring you downtown, then, call your parents."
The kids looked at each other before laughing out loud. The officer was shocked at what was happening; a group of minors that just laughed in his face as if he was crazy. His expression immediately turned to anger as he took out his cuffs and cuffed Janet.
The team immediately stopped, except for Janet. "You're serious? You think this can hold me?" Janet just shook her head.
"Come on guys, we have to get going anyway." Ness said as he got out the chair. All the kids followed suit grabbing their stuff. As Janet handed back destroyed cuffs to the dumb-struck officer, Leon gave her a high five before everyone continued.
As the group headed to the lobby, they spotted several more police officers. "Umm, maybe we should go with them?" Lexi suggested, looking at the numbers. Poppy rolled her eyes about to take out her weapon until Ness stopped her.
"We can't hurt them." Ness turned to the others who nodded. "Now kids, we don't want to hurt you!" The police officers pointed their tasers at the kids, whom were looking around, the kids was trying to find a place to escape.
Suddenly, Leon was struck with a bright idea. "I have an idea! Guys, cover your eyes!" The team all did as told. Leon took out one of his flashbangs, quickly unpinned it and threw it.
"Flashbang!" One of the officers yelled. The container exploded with a blinding light.
The team opened their eyes, a little dazed.
"Let's get out of here!"
"What?"Lexi asked, trying to clear her ears.
"I said…LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Ness yelled as he ran past all of the police. The rest of the team ran as well, but not before Poppy pushed one of them down.
"YA, f *k the Police!" Poppy yelled as she ran with the team.
The team ran past everyone, with Lexi and Ness in the lead and Paul and Jace at the back, to the final destination.
-Symphony of the Eight-
The group started to slow as they reached the edge of the strip into the desert. The team came to an immediate halt as they fell to the ground.
"Augh! Desert and running don't go together!" Leon breathed as he removed his coat for more air. Zane got up first, helping everyone up. "We have to keep moving. They might be on our trail as we speak." Zane said as he looked to Lexi.
Lexi nodded as she took out the sound stone. The light beeped red as a blue indicator showed where they were. The red dot looked to be a few squares away.
"This way." Lexi said, as she led the group as walked westward.
Cien walked up to the front of the group, seeming to be the most excited. "So, how far is this place?" Cien asked, looking at the empty vastness.
"I think we're almost there." The terrain started to become rocky as they started to enter the mountains.
"Dang, it's getting rocky around here." Jace said, trying to balance over the loose gravel as they went higher and higher into the mountains.
"Hey, something's happening!" Lexi yelled as the sound stone started to resonate. It pulsated green and silver as it started to spin.
"Ow," Lexi removed her hand as the stone spun in midair. "It burnt my hand." The stone spun faster until it shot higher into the air. A green and silver light pointed straight into a large boulder several meters away. The boulder started to move from its place as a hole revealed itself. The sound stone floated down to Cien as the light still pulsated.
"This must be it." Cien said, looking back at everyone. Ness gave a thumbs up and a smile as a reassurance to her. Looking forward, the team went into the cave, being led by Cien.
Reaching the hole, she looked back one more time before going down.
The cave was dark but was soon lit by the light of the stone. The eerie green cave echoed with every step the team made. This continued for a while until they reached a large room. The cave shined in a green glow. Its most notable feature was the rocks. They hovered in the air along with one large boulder at the end of the room.
The boulder itself looked to have writing on it, but it could not be seen from the distance. "I think that might be it."
Everyone save Ness seemed confused. "How do you know?" Zane asked as he kicked a nearby floating rock.
"You don't know it; you feel it in your heart. The planet's energy will flow though you and with that give you some of its power." Ness said in a cool voice. Cien nodded and was about to proceed.
"Funny."
Cien stopped and spun around and looked dead at him. Everyone closely listened for more words of wisdom.
"What is?" Cien asked.
"Didn't you notice the place looks like a baseball field?" Ness noted, looking around the sanctuary. Cien turned around looking. What he said was true; upon further inspection, the room looked to resemble a baseball field; the rock floating at what would be homeplate, with a small sand dune in the middle with large rocks the size of plates where they should be.
"Wow." Coming in closer, Cien started to quickly close the gap between her and the boulder. That is, until the sound stone bolted out of her hands. It flew to the top of the room, completely bathing the room with a whitish green light, but didn't come back down.
"What's going on?" Cien asked, surprised.
"This place is so dirty." A familiar voice rang as the team looked around.
"Up here." Up on top of the boulder sat Tsuskuyomi, with the same Lolita dress, only this time it was splattered with blood.
"It's about time you found this place," she mocked, swinging her legs back and forth like a child. "It was starting to be a pain to follow you. Oh, and to those of you I haven't met before, my name's Tsuskuyomi." She licked her lips as she looked to Zane, giving a seductive wave.
"It's about time you found this place," she mocked, swinging her legs back and forth like a child. "It was starting to be a pain to follow you. Oh, and to those of you I haven't met before, my name's Tsuskuyomi."
A light blush crossed Zane's face as he took a step back; he partly unsheathed his blade, getting ready. But Ness was confused.
"How did you get in here? There's no way you could have gotten here before us." Ness scratched his head as he looked around.
"Ha ha, I didn't. Didn't you pay attention to my powers? I manipulate shadows; anywhere they go, I can go. So, as long as you're near a shadow, I can follow you." She swung her legs joyfully.
"Isn't it amazing! How your own shadow can just betray you?" At that, the group's shadows started to move on their own and started to be enveloped in an inky darkness.
"The stronger the light, the more powerful the shadow." Her tone tuned dark as the shadows fully manifested in front of the team.
Tsuskuyomi smiled at the group as she floated down from the stone.
"Now, once I kill you, I will finally get what I want and go back to where I belong!" She said as a large crystal scythe materialized in her hand.
"However, this place is a little too bright for me. How about something for? My speed, hm?" She snapped as a vortex of darkness started to swallow the entire group.
"Get me out of here!" Green yelled trying to escape.
The entire group screamed as they were fully consumed.
-Symphony of the Eight-
The team fell several feet as they dropped down to the cold floor. Ness looked up. They were in a pure white room with nine black doors. From each door came out their own respective shadows, looking much more defined than they have before.
"You like it? It's a little dimension I created myself. I'll have some fun with you before I eat you all up!" She watched as the entire group got ready for battle.
"I call it 'Shadow Clock'. The goal of the game is simple: kill your shadows before the time runs out, that's simple enough right?"
Suddenly the Zane clone started to attack the original, as the rest of the clones started to attack their counterparts. Tsuskuyomi gave a maniacal laugh as she sat down on what seemed to be a throne.
All of the fighters were evenly matched with their clones. It was hit for each hit and parry for every attack thrown. Green fired a light arrow at her clone, only for it to guard against it with its shield. The Green clone did the same thing but only gained the same results.
Ness fired a PK Rockin' Gamma at his clone. The clone stood still as it but put up a Psi Counter. The blue and red energy turned a blood red and black as the blast was redirected. Ness barley managed to roll out the way as the explosion made him stumble. His back hit Leon, who was firing his rounds into this own counterpart.
"You alright?" Ness asked, looking at his clone who just stood where it was.
"Ya, but this is getting annoying! We don't have much time left!" Leon said as Cien dodged what looked like electrified dark stars.
"Moons, give me strength!" Paul yelled as a red pattern surrounded his double. A dark vortex started to form until it exploded into a large fireball, engulfing his double. Paul smiled until he saw his double still standing, though slightly singed.
"Impossible!" Paul yelled. The clone shined with the same purple light as before. Looking up in horror, he spotted one thing he didn't want to see. Several darkness filled spikes hurled themselves at Paul, who rolled out of the way barely making it out. The attack exploded sending Jace and his clone that was nearby flying off a little.
As Jace and his dark other regained their balance, it shot a large energy beam at him quickly. Jace fired his own laser as the two were evenly matched. The shadow Janet threw the original towards Tsuskuyomi.
However, instead of hitting her, Janet bounced off an invisible force field, leaving her dazed. Lexi, who was nearby, helped her up. The Lexi clone tackled the original, pinning her to the ground. Thinking quickly, Janet grabbed the Lexi clone and threw it across the room, knocking it into Poppy's shadow.
Poppy looked surprised as the clones both disappeared. Hatching an idea, Poppy looked around seeing as how the clones were evenly matched with their counterparts.
"Guys, don't fight your clone! Fight someone else's!"
Ness nodded as he looked back to Leon who gave a smile. The two switched places as Leon was facing the Ness clone, as the original Ness went against the dark Leon.
The clones tilted their heads as if they didn't know what to do. Ness fired a Pk Rockin Omega and the energy completely obliterated the clone. Leon used a stinger attack at the Ness's clone, whose eyes widened in what looked to be genuine surprise as it was stabbed and electrically charged until it disintegrated.
Leon saw Poppy shoot the Paul clone and Paul destroy the Janet and Cien clone with a few well-placed slices.
Finally, Jace sent several sword beams to the Zane clone, who was forced back and slammed into the nearby wall, disintegrating.
The team turned around looking at an annoyed Tsuskuyomi. She sighed as she got up from her seat. "Well, you've done much better than I expected."
"However, it still isn't good enough." She floated down to the group, only a few full meters in front of them.
Her grip tightened on her scythe as she swung into the air next to her. The scythe seemed to tear through reality as a red devil looking gate appeared next to her.
"Welcome to Hell, goodbye!" She cheered as the gate opened. The gate seamed to suck in everyone as the dark read vortex started to become stronger. Jace, Leon and Zane stabbed their swords into the ground to try and stay where they were, grabbing everybody to try and stay put.
"You can't win!" She yelled over the wind.
Jace focused as he fired a laser at the villain. However, the beam simply diverted into the door as it glowed red. Leon recognized that door.
"Guys, that door is a gate to hell, Greed!"
"Thanks, Leon! Now I know where we go when we die!" Paul yelled angrily.
"No, I mean I think we might be able to overload the door, then destroy it!" Leon yelled due to the wind.
"Alright, give it everything you got in one, two, THREE!" Ness yelled.
Leon first threw a good portion of his grenades. The door ate all of it up no problem. The twins came together, launching a black and white laser at the door.
Cien took out her baseball bat and fired her psychic charge. As the ball hurled into the gate, a small explosion could be heard.
The suction seemed to slow down. Lexi reached into her pockets, taking out a few homemade explosives, as Poppy kept firing her rounds.
"No! Stop it!" Tsuskuyomi yelled as the gate started to falter. "Pk Rockin!" The large blue and red blast seemed to almost crack the floor the gate was over.
"Moon, give me strength!" Paul shouted as several tornadoes were sucked into the gate.
"This should finish it!" Green charged her light arrow as it went inside the door. The door slammed shut much to Tsuskuyomi's horror. The door shined with light as it started to crack. The light seemed through, until it finally exploded.
The team all regained their balance. Looking at their surroundings, the room seemed to crack with every passing second.
"You…damn you!"
Looking back as the dust started to clear, they saw Tsuskuyomi. The side of her dress was singed due to the blast and a small stream of blood trickled down her face.
Cien went to the front of the group. "Had enough yet?"
Tsuskuyomi just cracked a smile. "Did you honestly think that was all I had?" The room started to shake itself apart, until all that was around them was a circular battle ring. The edges of the ring were set aflame with a supernatural fire.
"You will be destroyed and I will finally get to eat every one of you!" Tsuskuyomi yelled as she floated in the air. The darkness cocooned around her, and everything was silent.
In seconds, the cocoon exploded with light, revealing a something completely different form. She grew six black angel wings and how had a pair of devil horns with a miniature hydra surrounding her left arm.
The shadow under her shot out, latching onto Janet's. "Uh, guys? A little help!"
Janet's body started to punch anybody surrounding her, hitting Leon and Green square in the jaws. Leon was sent back near the edge of the fire. Looking down, he saw an endless sea of souls. Green was launched further back. Leon jumped up and caught her.
Leon checked her. "She's out cold!" Leon told the others.
"I can't control my body!" Janet said, scared.
Tsuskuyomi chuckled, and then the chuckle which then turned into crazed laughter. "It's over! Your souls are mine!"
"Leon, I'll take care of Green. You can go ahead." Jace said, running over to his friend. Leon nodded as he started towards the group. Jace charged his sword and stuck it in the ground making a shield around himself and Green.
Looking around, the team seemed to still stand strong. In a flash, Tsuskuyomi was in the middle of the group. Everyone jumped away, amazed by the speed.
"Focus guys!" Ness yelled, getting everyone's attention.
"Guys, look out!" Janet yelled as she threw several energy balls at the group.
The group all spread out. Ness ran to Janet to keep her occupied.
Everyone looked at each other, uncertain of what to do about their transformed foe. Zane went first, charging towards the demon.
Zane ran and preformed a jump strike with all his strength. Tsuskuyomi side stepped out of the way. As the sword came down, it made a small crater.
Tsuskuyomi took a quick jab to his torso, denting his armor. Zane staggered a bit, but held his stance. He thrust his sword through her head. She grabbed the sword mid-swing.
Zane's eyes widened as he tried to remove it from her grasp. "You look so cute when you're surprised, Zanny." She cooed as she went up a little closer.
At the corner of her eye, she deflected several bullets coming her way with her scythe. She quickly took Zane by surprise but, grabbing him by the collar of his armor plate, she threw him at Ness, who was currently battling Janet.
Cien looked back as she went over to help Ness and Zane up.
"Now, who was the one that shot at me?" She looked to her right, seeing Leon and Poppy with their guns still pointed at her.
In the blink of an eye, she was in the middle of the two heroes. Summoning her sword, she stabbed Leon in the gut as she back-handed Poppy, who rolled over to Jace's shield.
"Hey, you alright?" Jace asked, trying to wake up an unconscious Green. Poppy only looked back at Jace and nodded. Looking back, Poppy saw Leon pull the blade out of his gullet and slash at the demon, while Paul attempted to use his spells from afar.
On the other side of the arena, Lexi saw Janet break out of a hold by Ness and Zane as she proceeded with a running kick towards Cien, who protected herself with what looked to be a star shield.
Lexi ran over to Jace and the others. "How's she doin?" Lexi asked, kneeling next to the dome.
"She'll be up any minute now. Got a plan?" Jace asked, looking back down at the unconscious heroine.
"Ya, if I remember correctly, the light arrows that Green uses have holy energy in it." Lexi started.
"Oh I get it! Use the light arrows to slow her down!" Poppy said out loud.
"I heard that!"
The small group turned around, seeing Tsuskuyomi holding by the collar a bruised Paul as he struggled to be released from her grip. Throwing Paul aside, she charged towards the planning teens.
That is, until she was knocked over midflight. Looking around, she saw Ness and Cien running over to her. She tried to summon Janet, but nothing happened. Looking past them, she saw as Janet was pinned down. She was about to run to them, until she felt a terrible electric pain.
Looking at her side, she saw Leon's sword stabbed into her side. She quickly yanked the sword out and put her hand over her fresh wound.
She cursed at herself for being so distracted. In a rage, she sped over to Leon, punching him hard enough to hear the impact clearly. He doubled over as she grabbed him by his hair. She tilted her head recognizing it somewhere.
"I know this hair," She said, allowing herself to remember. She threw him to his other teammates, annoyed. "Son of Sparda." He caught his balance in midair, skidding backwards on his feet, his back facing the dome shield.
Green started to stir as Jace looked down. "Green, come on wake up!" Jace yelled as she started to shake her.
"Ok, ok, I'm up!" She said as she bolted up. She rubbed her cheek were Janet punched her. "What's happening?"
"No time to explain. Can you shoot a light arrow at her?" Poppy asked as she pointed to the Demon.
Green smiled.
Leon, Ness, Cien and Paul were not having an easy time. Tsuskuyomi was almost too fast to land a hit on, and she was wearing everybody down slowly but surely. They needed a plan. Ness looked at the rest of the group and saw inside the dome that Green woke back up. Perfect.
Ness fired a Pk Rokin' alpha towards the opponent. As expected, she dodged. Leon jumped into the air, performing a jump strike, but to be only collided with Tsuskuyomi's scythe. Tsuskuyomi shifted her stance and readjusted the blade so that the blade was right behind Leon's neck.
Tsuskuyomi smiled as she looked into Leon's eyes. Ness charged forward but Tsuskuyomi spun around and kicked him in the stomach, making him slide back all the way to Zane, getting back to the position she was at before without a hitch.
They both stood there as Tsuskuyomi smiled, but the smile soon turned into a frown as Leon started to regain his senses and push back. "Impossible, no one can resist my spell!"
She jumped back from the deadlock. Leon smiled. "Well, I guess you're not as good as you thought you were." He mocked.
She was about to rush towards him but felt something. Turning around, she saw Green fire a light arrow. She just barely dodged it.
"Ha!" She laughed.
"Say 'ha' to this!" Cien yelled as she managed to hit Tsuskuyomi on the back of her head with her bat. Taking this chance, Cien round house kicked Tsuskuyomi forward as Green fired another arrow. The arrow landed its mark.
Tsuskuyomi screamed as she pulled the arrow out. She felt her power drain as her wings and horns disappeared, but still having strength, she screamed as she started swinging at Cien.
Cien ducked from the decapitating slash. Springing up, she knocked the scythe out of Tsuskuyomi's hand into the air with an upward swing of her bat.
"What?" Tsuskuyomi said bewildered.
Cien caught the scythe and with a downward strike, cutting Tsuskuyomi.
For a moment, everything was silent as everyone looked on. The blood spilt out of her wound, dripping on the floor. Her face was filled with genuine surprise. Cien cut again in a horizontal slice making a bloody 'X' on Tsuskuyomi's torso. But, she was still standing, stumbling back and coughing up blood.
Cien felt her power resonate through the scythe. With all her might, she threw the scythe at Tsuskuyomi, who dodged, but not without gaining another cut to her arm.
The scythe stuck itself into the ground; a ripping sound was heard as a white portal opened over the weapon.
Tsuskuyomi looked on with fear as she started to be dragged from where she was standing.
"No! Please stop!" She summoned her sword to stick into the ground, but it was ripped from her grasp into the vortex.
Her darkness was being sucked inside the vortex as she was being dragged back and parts of her body started to fade. In a last ditch effort, she grabbed her scythe to pull herself out.
"I swear, I'll come back and tear your souls out of your body!" She threatened with a crazed voice, as she felt her strength start to falter.
Cien just gave the same kind of seductive wave Tsuskuyomi gave the group earlier. With that, Tsuskuyomi's strength finally gave in, and she was forcibly sucked inside the vortex as it closed shut. The scythe stood still in its place, re-absorbing the energy.
Everyone was breathing heavily, but it was over. Looking around, the dimension broke around them like glass as they were back inside the sanctuary. The sanctuary looked exactly the same with no difference, except the scythe protruding in the middle of it.
The sound stone floated down to Cien once again. Breathing in deeply, she walked up to the stone. The writing was still difficult to read. But under it Cien could see a small socket.
Putting the sound stone in, the boulder started to glow along with the other floating rocks in the cavern. Silver energy streamed into Cien's body as she absorbed the energy easily. Cien closed her eyes from the warm feeling.
As the show ended, Cien breathed. Feeling her energy expand, the rocks around her fell to the ground and rolled away from the force.
Opening her eyes, the writing on the boulder glowed and was easy to read.
'Even when the darkness surroundith thou, thou shall never miss. Look though thine enemies deception with thy mind. In your time of greatest need, thou can use thine will to move thine obstacle.'
Cien looked back at her friends. They all smiled back. Looking at the scythe, Cien looked to the others. Shrugging, she grabbed the scythe as it gained a green and silver star in the flat of the blade.
She had a few practice swings before she placed the new weapon in the space between her back and backpack.
