Walking through a Japanese temple a boy passed by a dragon boy. Stopping at the each end of the hallway the boys refused to look at each other.

"I heard your family died last night...without them we cannot protect you from the other members" said the boy with white dragon wings.

"I don't need protection, I only need time" smiling the tiger tailed boy was not troubled, disheartened or even hesitant.

"My mother once told me. I carry the blood of a god. No matter who it is that faces me. If they aren't prepared" looking at his hand the boy gazed at the razor sharp claws.

"I will cut them down" silence filled the hallway as the dragon looked back at his friend. He had no words for him, only concern and prayers which never reached the tigers ears.

"Blood Claw Strike!" Called out Edgar as he swung his claws at the girl.

Much to her surprise his attack ripped past the beams and headed directly for her. Bringing her arms together she hastily created a magic shield to keep her from harm.

The flowers rotated around her arms as a green force field blocked the incoming white slash.

Digging her feet she struggled against the attack, raw power was the one thing she had problems blocking. A flower burnt up as it used all of its strength to keep her shield strong.

A second flower burnt up becoming ashes. On the first floor Edgar was gone, since his enemy was occupied blocking the powerful attack he realized he can strike her back while she was open.

After a harsh stand still his attack dissipated and the girl survived losing only two of her flowers. Dropping the magic field she let out a sigh of annoyance.

"Where is he?" She asked as she looked around.

A figure appeared behind her swinging and cutting into an invisible force field. Looking back she groaned as two more swings of his sharp claws made another flower burn up.

"You lousy ignorant Cat!" With a swing of her arm the girl sent Edgar flying back. Spinning in the air he landed on his feet. Giving her a glance Edgar vanished once again.

"Don't underestimate me, I am the great priestess Juli Ono Tomokami. The goddess of truth and reality!" Holding her arms forward she closed her eyes as the force field finally faded away.

Edgar lunged in and swung towards her face. Inches away from harming the girl the flowers fired a powerful magic which sent the tiger flying towards the dead guards on the second floor.

Spreading the remaining flowers fired rapid short bursts of the beam. Dust rose as Edgar took off running, the shots melted the ground and the bodies, posters and vending machines were burnt up as he continued running.

Jumping towards the ceiling he grabbed a ventilation shaft and threw it at the girl.

Shooting at the shaft she easily destroyed the projectile, a second white slash came towards her. Circling together the flowers formed a shield.

Kicking off towards her Edgar called off the attack. Pointing his claws forward he slammed into her forcefield and stabbed the magical shield with enough force to rip open a hole for his claws.

Running the girl through her stomach Edgar ignored the blood, his body had shut down most of its emotions in favor of this one moment.

With a strong pull he removed his claws and watched as the girl silently stepped back, pain and shock ran through her face. One final step and the priestess dropped to her death.

Dodging the quick strikes of Genna's claws her opponent watched carefully. Seeing an opening she thrust her right claw forward.

Cutting deep into the girls side "you're too cocky, thinking I couldn't match your speed and your magic? Please I've fought people leagues above you and lived to this day" spoke the woman as she removed her claws.

Holding her side Genna backed away. Moving in the woman took the initiative and swung her claws. A red circle of magic appeared in front of Genna.

As the woman's claws touched the circle her arms were set ablaze. Letting out an ear piercing scream the woman backed away as she tried to kill the flames.

"Don't get cocky? Oh please you're just full of it" the flames died down and the woman glared at Genna with eyes that promised a slow and painful death.

Running at the girl she swung in quick and precise strikes. Backing away Genna dodged from side to side, each attack that missed was followed up by another that landed.

Cuts were appearing everywhere in the girls body. Gritting her teeth Genna jumped on top of a table. Chasing after her the woman with burnt arms was running out of breath.

Holding her left hand wide open Genna focused her entire magic reserves on one last attack.

"I can see that coming little girl" jumping to the air the woman landed behind Genna.

Spinning she smiled as she thrust both claws forward.

But no one was there. Confusion and surprise appeared on her face as she tried to make sense of what had just happened.

"You should go back to training old hag" shocked the woman looked around. The girls voice came from everywhere yet she was nowhere to be seen.

Sniffing the air she tried to follow the scent of blood. Sharp claws struck of face, the spell which had dulled her senses vanished.

The table in which the girl stood was empty, instead she was standing a few feet away from that spot. Blood flowed out of the woman's missing jaw.

Gazing at the girl she wished she could tell how surprised she was. Falling to her knees she passed away in silence.

"Freaking old hag...phew" listening to the sound of a body dropping near her made Genna jump in surprise.

Seeing a girl lay dead made her look up. Standing on the second floor Edgar gave her a nod.

"You scared me you bastard" ignoring her comment he marched off to the outside.

Sighing the girl took a chair and sat down.

Dragging himself off the ground Yoshiaki panted. Looking up he could see the snake demon break through the entrance of the station.

People screamed as the demon roared proudly. No humans could fight this monster barehanded and hope to beat it.

"Crap I can't...I can't stop here" standing up Yoshiaki ignored his body and faced the demon. Closing his fists the boy focused his mind and gathered his thoughts.

His body was surrounded by a soft yellow light. After a few seconds his wounds closed up, the light dissipated.

Looking at the demon which marched forward destroying the streets. Taking two steps forward the boy jumped towards a light post. With a jump he spun his body gathering speeds as the demon was close he slammed his leg on the demons head.

The blow was enough to make the demon fall on it's face. At the same time Yoshiaki broke his ankle with the attack.

Falling besides the demon he watched as the demon forced itself upright. "Damn, why can't I kill this son of a-" the demons tail came swinging.

Hitting the boy he was sent flying through the air before bouncing on the streets several times. Barely conscious Yoshiaki gasped as he could feel several ribs snap.

The ground trembled as he watched the demon approach him. 'aunt Mei...I'm sorry' he thought as she closed his eyes.

"Yoshiaki..."*

The demon roared as the boys ears ringed in pain. The people filmed the demon while others called for help.

"...super heroes bleed...but they get up and try again"*

Opening his eyes Yoshiaki stared at the demon.

It was just a meter away.

"Never forget...your mom loves you just as much as I do"*

"Aunt Mei...Despair Axis"

Bringing it's claws down the demon crushed the street before it, stabbing the spot repeatedly dirt and chunks of the street flew into the air.

Flying out of the cloud of dirt a blonde haired girl went up to the demons face and kicked it across the face.

Falling on its back the demon dropped with a deep silence.

No one uttered a word, walking up its chest Veronica stood over it. Blood fell down the side of her face as she looked at the civilians.

"Iron spike launch" wielding the weapon like a mighty sword Veronica cleaved the demons head.

Marching forward she watched as Edgar and Genna stepped out of the station.

The two were surprised to see this girl approach them, confident and surrounded with an aura of power. She was nothing like Yoshiaki.

"The demons slain, our mission is over" she said.

"...who the hell are you?" Asked Genna surprised to see this girl.

"I'm Yoshiaki...or rather Veronica" shaking his head Edgar marched out of the scene.

"Let's go before the cops get here" following the boy the team returned home.

Sitting in his chair Douglas stared at a video in his computer. His men were researching the sacred gear when it suddenly disappeared in a flash of light.

"So the sacred gear responds to it's master no matter how far away they are...interesting"

Taking some notes he made sure to write down a few details. The door opened as the team returned.

"We have returned Douglas" said Edgar as the three walked up to his desk.

"Yes..." With a smile Douglas looked at the three of them. "Congratulations, as of today you are official soldiers of our organization. I want you to remember this day as the day you've proved your existence to the world"

Reaching behind his desk Douglas took out three red badges. "These badges are worn by every member of our organization" the three soldiers took one badge each.

"That should be all, go get some rest. You've earned it" smiling the three young soldiers saluted Douglas and made their way out of his office.
