The Cursed Guitar! To Save Ui! Into Brane's World (Nodoka's Arc)
Chapter 43: A Big Fight! And Azusa Spell Tested!
(Takes place after the events from the end of Azusa's arc)
The group were walking in a forest. Nodoka looked at the map with Jun Ishimine. Jun heard something behind her. She turned and saw nothing. "Must be the wind." Jun said and continued to walk with the others.
"How much longer to the town?" Yui asked Nodoka.
"It should be soon Yui. And once we get there, we'll have breakfast." Nodoka answered.
"Ok!" Yui exclaimed. Jun heard something again behind her. She looked and saw nothing again.
"Jun? You ok?" Mugi asked her.
"Yeah...I just keep hearing stuff behind us...but nothing is there." Jun answered.
"Right...well let's keep moving. I'm sure it's just the wind." Mugi answered and walked with Jun back to the group. The four black figures were waiting in the shadows, ready to strike. Nodoka and Jun Ishimine come across a two path. One of the paths was not on the map...but it looked more friendly than the other path that was on the map.
"What do we do from here?" Ritsu asked Nodoka.
"I'm not sure." Nodoka replied. The dark figures appeared in the front of the girls and Jun Ishimine.
"Hello visitors." One of them said.
"We came here for a fight. Brane ordered us to attack you." The second one said.
"Oh no." Mio said and got her weapon ready, as did the others.
"Ready for a fight!?" The third one asked and cackled.
"Cause we sure are." The taller and last one said. They all got their weapons out; Large swords. Ritsu and Mio got theirs ready, as did Mugi and Yui.
"We will handle them!" Mio called out. Jun Ishimine leads Nodoka and Jun Suzuki to safety and they watch the fight that was about to begin. This sure would stall them in arriving to Brane's castle.
"Let's begin." Said the first dark figure. It charges at Mio. While the other three took on Ritsu, Yui and Tsumugi. The four took a swing at the girls who each block their strikes.
"You're stalling us, aren't you?" Mio asked.
"You can say that." The figure answered and got a kick in the face from Mio. Ritsu punches the figure she's fighting. It shook it off and rams into her. Ritsu went down and Mio took a punch in the face. She also went down. Mugi was smacking the third figure with her bat a bunch of times. Yui was struggling. She got her arm cut badly and was bleeding. She kicks the figure's shield and slams her staff down onto it. It made a loud clang sound. The figure kicks Yui in the gut and slams it's shield in her face. Mio stabs the figure in the gut and uppercuts it. It goes down, coughing up black blood. Ritsu slices the back of a figure and slashes sideways. It went down to it's knees, screeching in pain. Mugi strikes her target, but it was blocking all of them with it's black shield.
"You're annoying!" The figure screeched and knees Mugi in the gut and claws her face. Mugi groaned and fell down. The figure then stomped on her back. Mugi groaned louder in pain and the figure grabs her head and was gonna slice her neck. Mio stabs the figure that she had beaten. The figure turned to fog, dead.
Ritsu slices the head of the figure she was facing and it turned to fog. Yui saves Mugi and shocks the figure with her staff and lands a combo on it. The figure went down and Yui slams it's face with her staff, killing it. The last figure kicks Yui down and was going for a final strike. Ritsu and Mio stab it together, saving her. The figure gasped and turned to fog. Mugi stood up and dusted herself off. Yui got back up and looked at her arm.
"Yui is hurt. We need to get to town now." Ritsu said and checked it.
"I'm sure I'll be fine." Yui said.
"You're bleeding a lot Yui." Mugi saw the blood running down her arm and onto the ground.
"I got some stuff that will stop the bleeding." Jun Ishimine said and cleans up Yui's wound. He then patches up and the group continued moving forward. They take the nice looking path that wasn't on the map, just to be safe. But was this a good idea?
Back at Brane's castle, Brane was watching Mari, Sherry and Silica make dark magic. They summoned a little creature. It looked like a cross between a bird and a human. It soon dissapeares. "I'm sorry girls, but I don't have the time to train you in the arts."
"That's why Aina-senpai will do it for us." Mari said to Brane.
"Oh? Really?" Brane stroked his beard as Ui came up to him and whispered something into his ear. It was about Nodoka's group defeating his Dark Figure Soldiers. Brane groaned in frustration and stood up.
"Something wrong master?" Mari asked.
"My soldiers...defeated by four girls...it sickens me!" Brane shouted.
"Sorry sir...maybe we could do something?" Silica suggested.
"No!" Brane yelled and sat back down on his throne. "That won't be necessary." Brane took a sigh. "Ui?"
"Yes master?"
"Go check on how Aina is doing with the pet." Brane told her.
"Yes master. I'll be right back." Ui bowed and went to go see how the new recruit was with the pet.
"Show me some spells instead of summoning." Brane told and closed his eyes.
"That is our specialty after all master." Sherry chirped.
"Ok girls...let's show him." Mari said and the three girls stick their hand out at the ceiling together and fire a dark spell. It hits the ceiling, turing it into purple and soon red sparks fly around it. The color fades away and the sparks also fade away.
"That one is a stun spell. Perfect for stopping attackers." Mari sneered. The girl show more spells and Brane was impressed. Aina was cleaning Azusa. Her back had fully recovered from her whip session. Her nose was fully healed and her scratch on her face that Ui made, also healed.
"How is the pet doing?" Ui asked Aina.
"She's doing very well. Although she convinced me to save her." Aina replied, looking at Ui as she walked to Azusa.
"Brane won't like this." Ui said and removed her hoodie. Aina finishes cleaning Azusa and leaves to dump out the water in the bucket and wring out the towel.
"Hi pet. How are you feeling?" Ui asked her, tilting her head.
"Ok...I guess." Azusa responded. Aina then went to Brane the news.
"She tried to convince me to rescue her." Aina said to her king.
"I see. I will punish her for doing so later. As of right now. No food for her."
"Yes master." Aina bowed and went back to see the pet, as did Mari, Silica and Sherry. Azusa was removed of her chains by Ui.
"Up pet." Ui commanded. Azusa slowly rose to her feet and looked at Ui Hirasawa in the eyes.
"I can't believe he did this to you." Azusa said and was gonna touch Ui's face. She snatches her wrists.
"Don't touch me." Ui replied and let's go of her wrist. "Meow Azusa."
"What?"
"You heard me. Meow!" Ui yelled.
"Nya."
"Good. I will see you soon." Ui said and leaves as Mari's Occult Club made their way to Azusa. Azusa soon thought that something might go bad. Azusa prepared herself for the worst.
"What's going on?" Azusa asked Mari.
"We simply came here to test out our magic on you." Mari said and chuckled. Silica and Sherry hold Azusa down. She struggles in their grasp.
"Don't fight it pet." Mari shook her head and put her hand out. Aina just watches. "Now hold still pet. This is gonna hurt." Mari sneered and shot a spell at Azusa. It hits her and burns her skin. Azusa moans in pain.
"Good one." Aina said and claps. Mari shoots another one at Azusa, the stun spell. That one hurt to move. Azusa winces as red shocks appeared every time she tried to move. It soon wore off and Mari's Occult Club laugh at the defenseless Azusa. Azusa panted and Silica and Sherry remove their grasp on her. Azusa stood up and looked at Mari.
"Don't even think about it. You only got one good arm anyways pet." Mari sneered.
"She's right pet." Silica said and smirked. Her bird was on her shoulder. It flew to Azusa and looked at her. The creature turned it's head.
"Hey...I know you." Azusa said to the creature. "You're the one who took my pancakes." Azusa growled.
"Meet Pina." Silica smiled as the creature stabbed Azusa's left eye and took it out." Azusa screamed in pain and covered her eye. Blood started flowing down her hand and face.
"Nice work Silica." Mari giggled.
"Thank Pina, not me." Silica pets Pina's head. It squawked and enjoyed the petting. It then ate Azusa's eye. Mari and Sherry were disgusted by it. Aina pushes Mari and Sherry away and heals Azusa's eye, stopping the pain and bleeding.
"Why did you do that?" Sherry asked Aina.
"I'm sure Brane wouldn't want her screaming all day." Aina replied.
"Good point." Mari nodded. Silica leaves with Sherry in tow. Mari also leaves as Aina puts Azusa back into her shackles.
"Brane will see you soon kitty." Aina smirked and licked her bloody cheek and giggled evilly. Aina leaves as Azusa passes out. The were with Brane, talking about Azusa Nakano. Brane was laughing as Mari explained what spells they casted on the pet. And that Pina had took on of her eyes out. Mari and her Occult Club go their room as Ui stood by Brane. Aina went back to see Azusa and keep an eye on her. Dark Figures were working in and out of the castle, doing their chores that Brane assigned to them.
"Wonder what Aina-senpai will do with the pet." Silica pondered and was playing old maid with Mari and Sherry.
"Who knows. I'm sure Aina-senpai will take good care of her." Sherry said.
"One thing is for sure. Azusa won't dare land a finger on Aina-senpai. Her magic is way stronger than ours." Silica said.
"Right." Mari said and put her hand and turned the cards into real life.
"Much better." Sherry smiled.
"Indeed. Now this is Old Maid." Mari snickered. The three sisters enjoyed playing their card game, adding a new twist to it. Brane was drinking wine and sitting on his throne chair, ordering his minions or Ui to do stuff for him. Aina was talking with Azusa. Azusa looked at her with her good eye and the girl shook her head.
"Brane is happy with us. Happy that we treated you like this. It's what you deserve after all." Aina told her.
"I don't deserve any of this. My senpais will rescue me. They will stop Brane." Azusa told Aina and spit in her face. Aina got mad and slaps Azusa.
"How dare you." Aina growled. Aina then grabbed Azusa face and pulled her closer to her own face. "If you ever do that again. I'll make sure your mouth is closed shut for good!" Aina lets go and talked with Ui outside of the chamber room.
"What time is it by the way?" Aina asked Ui.
"About 2 PM." Ui answered.
"Right."
"Brane went to go get some lunch for all of us...since the pet has been a bit uneasy at times, she will starve tonight." Ui smirked.
"Yes...she deserves it for spitting in my face." Aina said and went inside Brane's castle. Ui went to go see Azusa.
"Pet, you will starve tonight. As punishment. Do you understand?" Ui asked her.
"I do." Azusa nodded.
"Good girl." Ui smiled and left the chamber. Mari and her sisters were bored. They went to Brane to see if he could help spice things up a bit. The girls were kneeling down to Brane.
"Master...we seek some fun. We are bored out of our minds." Mari begged Brane.
"I don't know what to say." Brane chuckled and Ui poured more wine into his glass. A spark came to Brane. He smirked and came up with an idea. "Well...why don't you visit the group...and send them a message. Don't kill them...but you may fight them...just don't get hurt so bad. I might not heal you."
"That's ok sir...Aina can heal us. What shall the message be?" Mari rose up and so did Silica and Sherry.
"Tell them that I have Azusa Nakano as my pet. And if they want to rescue her...well...they know what to do...that is all. Now go! Pina will guide you."
"Yes master!" The girls saluted and were off to deliver Brane's message to Nodoka, Yui, Mio, Ritsu, Tsumugi, Jun and Jun Ishimine. And have some fun while doing so.
