Chapter 25: Ruina v.s. Everyone (Pt. I)
"You, you're different." Ruina said as she looked at the Black*Star.
Black*Star looked at the kishin with nothing but hate. She looked at him bored, and uninterested in his grand appearance, that look infuriated him beyond belief. He gripped Tsubaki in her chain Scythe mode even tighter, sure she was a kishin, but something was off.
"Black*Star are you ok?" Tsubaki asked the tense assassin, she could tell he was distraught over his body language and the more erratic wavelength his soul was giving off.
"Tsubaki, enchanted sword mode...now..." Black*Star responded, never shifting his gaze on from his target. Without any hesitation, Tsubaki changed into her katana form.
"Who are you?" The kishin asked, genuinely interested in the assassin.
"I am your destroyer kishin. I'm the assassin that will surpass gods, my name... is Black*Star!" He yelled at the Kishin.
"Right...so, your weapon can change into different weapons, how very unique," Ruina yelled towards Black*Star who immediately rose Tsubaki into a defensive stance, although he wanted to end the battle quickly, he didn't want to be defeated like he was at the battle of Asura. "It won't save you, a few different weapon modes, is no match to my power." Ruina taunted with a wicked smile, her cold eyes pierced through the ninja's body.
"Shut up, I will surpass god...nothing will stop me...!" Black*Star returned. Ruina chuckled to herself.
"You'll surpass god will you, well let's see if you can even survive me!" Ruina yelled as she charged Black*Star. Her incredible speed caught him off guard, and he was barely able to dodge. Her hand clashed against Tsubaki's blade before she kicked Black*Star in the stomach.
Black*Star flew into the air and crashed on the hard earth underneath him, he struggled to catch his breath. As he stood he could hear Tsubaki yelling at him, but nothing was registering. The assassin charged the Kishin and avoided her punch she sent at him and managed to cut her in the side before Ruina turned around and hit him on his back.
"Hmm, so maybe you do have some power..." Ruina said as she moved her hand on her cut, the crimson blood trickled out slowly for a second before stopping. The kishin Reached behind her back and swung the twin hookblades in her hand before pointing them at Black*Star in an offensive manner.
The Kishin charged again and met Tsubaki's blade with her own. She slashed at the meister with a great intensity and speed that Black*Star was barely capable of keeping up with. After a few slashes Black*Star tried to look for an opening.
"Shadow Star!" Black*Star yelled before a shadow burst from the ground between him and Ruina. Ruina was taken aback by this and was hit in the stomach by the shadow. The kishin was speechless over the strength of the shadow, it had actually hurt her. "Speed Star!" Black*Star yelled as he ran towards Ruina, she went to parry the attack but was befuddled when the assassin seemed to disappear in front of her eyes. "Black*Star Big Wave!" The boy yelled before he drove his palm into the kishins back and sent a large amount of his soul wavelength into her. Ruina flew through the air from the hit but stopped herself with her wings.
"Ok, now your pissing me off, time to end this!" She yelled, in a brief second she had closed the distance between her and the meister and kicked him high into the air. She stuck her hookblades in the ground, and jumped up to the assassin. She wrapped her hands around his neck and began choking him, Black*Star looked at her with fear in his eyes.
"But...I can't...lose..." Black*Star let out between gasps for air, Ruina's grip tightened.
"What did you think this would be like my predecessor, oh no..." Ruina began as she smiled wickedly to herself, "I'm much worse!" She laughed before unleashing a blast of her power wavelength onto the assassin's throat. His eyes rolled back into his head and Tsubaki screamed in horror as Ruina dropped the ninja from the air and back to the ground. "Now you die!" Ruina yelled as she raised her hands and a large sphere of her condensed wavelength formed in her hands. Tsubaki shifted into weapon mode and tried to awake Black*Star, she looked up and tears began pouring out of her eyes as she looked at the Kishin that was about to destroy them.
In The Air
Darman, and Amicus looked around the battlefield they had created and kept activating traps to give the meisters the advantage. Each time a card flipped more clowns would either die, or get trapped to be struck down by the closest meister.
"Darman, over there!" Amicus yelled as his eyes appeared in one of the cards, looking into the direction he was mentioning. The card meister turned around to see a large dark red sphere growing in size every second. He looked down to see a brutally beaten Black*Star and defeated Tsubaki.
Without hesitation Darman threw two cards in different directions. One on top of the defeated weapon and meister, and one a few steps away from the infirmary. Within a seconds of Ruina releasing her attack on the two, they were sent right before the blast to the steps of the infirmary to be treated by Lamia, Nygus, and Stein. As the Tsubaki tried to carry Black*Star, Kai and Bella had shown up on Storm and helped move the assassin to an open bed for Stein to look at while Lamia went straight to healing Kai.
"What!" They heard Ruina yell from the distance before she turned to see who had saved her two would-be victims.
"What's up bitch! Sorry to spoil your fun, but we kinda need him!" Darman taunted at an infuriated Ruina. Within a moment Ruina was a few feet away from Darman and Amicus.
"You...I'm going to destroy you!" Ruina yelled at the two, Darman was unfazed and even began laughing at the girl who looked in awe at his arrogance.
"I'm going to destroy you...seriously, that's all you can come up with?" Darman continued to joke. Amicus himself even began to chuckle.
"You are one pathetic, psycho-bitch, you know that?" Amicus asked sarcastically, They were both cracking up with laughter. But Ruina had enough. She grabbed Darman by his throat and began to crush Amicus in her hand, they both yelled in pain as her grip tightened. In one swift movement she tossed the two into the air and prepared another smaller ball of concentrated wavelength.
"Who's laughing now ass-holes!" Ruina yelled in complete glee as she sent the sphere towards the two,. As the attack touched them a large explosion engulfed the sky and the tow boys fell at an alarming rate to the ground, the buildings of Death City rising back up again. Lord Death and his Death Scythes watched from the courtyard at the carnage that was taken place, and were horrified to see the buildings rising back up, it was clear the resonance had been broken. Ruina watched as the two fell before they were caught in the air.
"Another kill robbed, who is it this time!" She yelled frustrated. As she watched the boys get dropped off by the son of Lord Death on his flying skateboard.
At The Infirmary
Kai and Bella walked out to greet the young shinigami and escort the downed demon card pair to another empty pair of beds that Nygus had set up.
"Kai, you think you're gonna be able to get back out there, I can't stop Ruina with just Liz and Patty." Kid stated, Kai nodded in understanding.
"Yea, I wanted to go and look for Maka, Soul, Petra, and Lyra anyways." Kai responded, Bella walked up beside her partner.
"I'll stay here and help to get any wounded back here." Bella stated, Kid nodded in agreement with the plan, and proceeded to fly off. Kai began to turn around to inform Stein of his intentions before he heard Liz calling for him.
"Hurry up ok, Ruina will be all for chasing us around until you can help us fight her!" She yelled just before they were out of ear shot. Sure enough within moments Kai watched as the Kishin began to give chase to the young reaper.
"You be careful out their cause, like we discussed I won't stop Malus, so anything can happen." Bella said as she walked with Kai back into the tent.
"Don't worry we have an understanding on what to do," Kai began, he stopped walking. Bella turned around to see Kai looking at her with his hand held out to her. She looked at him confusedd. "It's been an honour being your weapon, even if I wasn't really a weapon all the time." Kai said with a grin.
"It's been a pleasure keeping you sane, and using you when you let." Bella smiled as she shook her partners hand. Kai nodded and ran off to join the battle again and locate Maka.
"What was that all about?" Stein questioned as he walked up to Bella who had a single tear roll down her cheek.
"Oh just a final good bye...just in case..." Bella answered, Stein smiled at the notion of the final good bye.
"Well then Ms. Tulish, I have a job for you," Stein began, Bella looked at him with great interest over what this job was. "Go up to the Death Scythes and tell them, it's time, they'll know what it means." Stein grinned. Bella nodded and ran off immediately. "Hopefully it'll give him just enough power to stop her..." Stein thought to himself as he pulled out a cigarette and lit it. "If not, we're doomed."
A/N: Hi guys so, things are really picking up, I mean Black*Star getting taken down, Darman and Amicus getting over confident to the point that they never got to attack. I'd say the next two FINAL chapters are going to be very intense, with lots of violence. Anyways review or PM me as always with what you thought, see ya. :)
