SHAKUGAN NO SHANA:

Dilemma of a broken heart chapter 1

It was a scorching hot Wednesday morning that day, the same and as ordinary as the other days before when all of a sudden-

"fuzetsu?" Shana asked rhetorically.

"We are back into business" Yuji added as he wielded his blutsauger.

A green, wolf like, enormous creature came walking while absorbing powers of existence from frozen people.

"A tomogara." Yuji muttered.

"Strange, why do I feel a flame haze?" Shana thought while she materialized her night coat. She was suddenly alarmed without any reason.

Yuji bolted towards the tomogara, and prepared himself for a diagonal slash when He reached the eyelevel of the tomogara, He stroke his sword downwards, splitting the tomogara into two.

"Yuji!" Shana exclaimed. She never expected he'll act before her. She already knew what she felt and she knew they were in trouble.

"Flame haze!" from above, Margery called. Still on top of the grimoire with Satou on her right. They landed near Shana and asked.

"He killed that" when she saw Yuji standing in the midst of overflowing existence.

"Why?" Shana asked back.

"Get him now!" Satou exclaimed.

The flowing existence grew abruptly, encircling all of them in a second. Margery scanned the area while Marchosias said.

"They have arrived."

The once crimson color of the fuzetsu changed to green. At first they thought it was Pheles but a large explosion followed next. A man's silhouette was seen in the smoke until it cleared.

It was a guy, wearing all black with a cape on his back. His hair was spiky green same with his eye color, he was holding a thin, long, black sword and was floating up in the air.

"Greetings coming from the kingdom of Lapis Lazuli, I am Reigi, the guardian of sacred flames fighting for the god of storms, Hachiman." He said as he landed the ground.

"Why are you here?" Shana asked while Yuji ran back to them.

"I am here because the Azurian council needs the Reigi Meigo. I am just following their orders." He answered.

"You will never have it"

"Flame hazes from Guze could never stop warriors from Lapis Lazuli." He said as he attacked them.

The four flew into different directions. Shana, Margery and Yuji fired fireballs, while Satou tried hitting him with his now owned Trigger Happy.

Reigi managed to dodge all of them, moving his sword sideward while emitting a slash of light hitting Satou and Margery. They crashed in a building, buried inside its debris.

Shana flew to him holding her sword. She tried hitting him with a diagonal slash but he defended using his own weapon. Their swords clashed, as they transfer from one place to another. Reigi almost out powered Shana, when Yuji noticed it. He came for rescue but when he was near, Reigi let go of a blinding light that surrounded them.

Margery and Satou came back into action, witnessing that ball of light and having noticed that presence, Marchosias said.

"Be ready"

"I know I know Marco." Margery answered

Inside that ball of light, the three of them stood. Yuji asked himself what was really happening while Shana kept her guards up. Reigi smirked, and with a finger's snap, lightning stroke, hitting only Shana and Yuji nonstop. When he thought it was over he released the light. Shana and Yuji fell while Margery saw it. She was about to catch them when a black figure passed and they disappeared. Reigi paused surprised, disappeared after a couple of seconds. While Margery remained floating in mid-air.

"At least he is on our side" Marchosias said.

Margery fixed the city and together with Satou, they left the area smiling.
