Chapter 15
The evening came fast, but still it wasn't night, so people still were walking by the streets of Tokyo. Not paying attention to what was happening above them. Sometimes lightings were shown up, it made people astonished as the weather was cloudless and not rainy.
"So, this is that anomaly Asagi was telling about." Kurenai looked at the new one, "A little terrifying."
"Are you scared of some lighting?" Yukikaze asked the half human, "I shot with the same ones."
"Yours doesn't count." Kurenai looked at the tanned girl, "It's not scary for me." she chuckled then.
"Probably we must have a practice combat when we come back to Gosha." Kurenai heard the voice of the low girl, but still replied nothing.
"Man, I don't like to do nothing, even when teachers are on a scout." Pavel mumbled watching around, "It would be better to go all together."
"As Shiranui told we must wait for her orders." Ayame replied him strictly, "That's why we must wait when they need our help."
"At the same time, it's a good opportunity to prepare for upcoming fight." Tatsurou joined the talk, "I always like the moments when I can think of something."
"Tatsurou, you're always thoughtful." Yukikaze chuckled, "Do you want to say that you always preparing for upcoming battles?"
"I'm not always like that." Tatsurou protested.
"Honestly, you're thoughtful when you eat." Ren watched at the younger Akiyama.
"Not you too, Ren." Tatsurou looked at her.
"Stop your foolishness." Ayame tried to take the situation under control, but next moment there appeared three persons.
"Did you find anything?" Kurenai asked Shiranui, who was in the middle between Sakura and Oleg.
"No, we found nothing, but still the anomaly is chaotic." Shiranui started to explain, "While we were examining one side the lighting hit in the opposite side."
"We noticed that." Kurenai nodded, "So, what's the plan?"
"Oleg Semenovich, you have mental powers. Don't you feel anything?" Pavel asked his teacher as if he tried to remind the man about that.
"I tried." Oleg responded, "However I felt nothing."
"These anomalies are really quite something." Sakura didn't like what they were doing, "Try to find what you don't know. It's better for me to spy after someone than to do something like that."
"But still we must continue to investigate what is going here." the woman with the ribbon on her head that looked like bunny ears stated, "Probably we'll find 'The Third Law' and our task will be in eliminating of them."
"It'll be much better." Yukikaze chuckled, but when saw serious eyes of her mother understood that did a bad thing.
"By the way, we didn't discuss our formation." Ren suddenly said, "Maybe it's time to do that?"
"Yes." Shiranui nodded and looked at Oleg, "Will our friends appear today?"
"I hope they will." Oleg nodded, "I sent a message to Cyclopes, so it's only to wait them."
"Understood." the woman with the spear nodded, "So, as I remember it right Pavel could deal good damage to Walter."
"Yes." Sakura replied for the Russian boy, "If not him I don't know would we be able to save Maki or not."
"I see." Shiranui nodded, "Then I think it'll be next. Kurenai is going with me Tatsurou and Yukikaze. While Pavel with Ren will work with you, Sakura, you, Oleg and you Ayame." she glanced at the teachers.
"Maybe I should protect from behind?" Ayame wasn't sure it'll be good to go with them.
"We don't know with whom we will fight. Therefore it's dangerous to separate." Shiranui disagreed with such an idea, "Oleg with Sakura will be able to distract the enemy in order to give Pavel an opportunity to strike, while Ren will protect Ayame."
"By the way." Tatsurou suddenly asked, "What if our squad meets that man first?"
"Then the second squad must go to us to assist, because we'll be unable to retreat." Shiranui replied him fast.
"That man is really terrifying." Sakura mumbled, "We couldn't defeat him even with such a big number, if he is really that demon lord I don't even know how to stop him."
"I don't know how, but Pavel's sword is the only thing that can damage his bones." Kurenai answered, "So the only way for us is to let him fight that man."
"I'll do my best and…" Pavel stumbled as everyone watched at him, "I'm counting on you."
"Don't worry that much, it's doesn't suit you." Ren clapped his back, "If something goes wrong we'll do everything to give you a chance to strike."
"I'll blow other enemies on my way!" Yukikaze chuckled.
"And I'll protect our back if it's needed." Tatsurou also tried to cheer the boy.
"Listen, don't think that you're the only one who must work overly hard of all of us." Oleg didn't like that the boy felt uneasy, "Our task is more important, to give you a chance to strike. Therefore we must work much harder."
"He is right." Sakura chuckled, "We'll fight and you kill him."
"Thanks, guys." Pavel seemed became a little surer, "I hope we'll kill him this time."
"So, we take Northern direction and you will take southern." Shiranui looked at Oleg, "If you find something let us know immediately."
Oleg nodded and then two squads headed to their directions, in order to investigate them.
"So this is the place." Mystic said watching at the evening sky where seen lightings were, "Do you feel anything?"
"I don't know what I feel." Walter came closer to him, "But still, I feel something familiar." the demon lord frowned, however I don't know what it could be."
"Probably Celine must know?" Mystic asked him.
"She is busy in Tokyo Kingdom." the man answered, "And at the same time, she also doesn't know what this feeling is."
"Shall we check the place?" the man asked the demon lord again, "Or we leave it?"
"We must check it." Walter answered, "But I don't know where to start. The anomaly is natural and doesn't have an effect on demons' minds."
"Probably some defect?" Mystic asked him one more type.
"Maybe, but I don't like this. Be on your guard and if something goes wrong let me know, I'll assist." the demon lord replied him.
"I thought Celine would be with us." the man with the cloak and the hood replied, "Hasn't she done her mission?"
"No, but if something goes wrong, she will join us." Walter replied watching at the dark sky where appeared lightings from time to time, "You will work with Minori and Ulan, he is impulsive and reckless, so let her to control him."
"Understood." Mystic nodded, "But what about Tiradex and Tardis? Will they be in the other squad?"
"Yes, they will work with Murn." the man in the silver armor answered fast, "If something is needed Archon squad and Torch's will help you."
"I thought they're with Celine." the man with the hood looked at him.
"Their task is to train the boy, and it's a good opportunity to train him in fights with Taimanin." Walter explained, "If we do nothing here or if we are able to destroy the seal they will continue to work with Celine."
"I see." Mystic nodded and watched at the lighting, "By the way, what's with Etienne? I've heard the creatures that work with us now, made a mess and his own ones escaped."
"Didn't know, you know about that." Walter chuckled, "Yes, it was my bad, but everything is fine, since he decided to take my and Celine's blood as payment."
"Your blood?" Mystic seemed surprised, "What for?"
"I think he wants to do some experiment." Walter replied not being interested, "If it's good for organization I'll assist him."
"Lord Walter." they heard a female voice behind them, "I've detected Taimanin, and they have separated."
"How many groups are there?" Walter turned around and saw a woman in the white and purple suit, and whose face was covered with a mask.
"Two, but there's no Igawa Asagi among them." the woman in the demon's mask answered him, but then stumbled.
"What is it?" Walter merely asked her, "Do you have something to add?"
"I…" the woman said, but then added. "There's Mizuki Shiranui with them."
"Who is it?" Walter looked at her.
"She is another strong Taimanin." the woman replied fast, "But as I've heard be must be a captivity of Incubus King."
"She was rescued." Mystic interrupted her, "It happened when we broke the seal in Yomihara."
"Is she strong?" Walter looked at him.
"The Incubus King could capture her and turned her into his slave." Mystic quickly explained, "But if she is with them, now it means their powers are increased significantly."
"Understood." Walter nodded, "Then your squad will deal with them. I hope you will be able to defeat her." he looked at the woman.
"I will not fail you my Lord." the woman nodded and then disappeared.
"I will follow her too." Mystic stretched out his arm and the wind took that circled around him made him to disappear too.
"It seems this fight will be interesting too." Walter chuckled and then looked at the sky, "Is it really a seal or something else?"
Shiranui along with Kurenai were ahead, while Yukikaze and Tatsurou were behind them in readiness to protect the women.
"It seems the anomaly is unstable." Shiranui looked at the lighting.
"I have a bad feeling." Kurenai said to Shiranui, "Do you feel anything?"
"For example?" Shiranui looked at her.
"Like there's something else." the pointed eared one tried to explain, "I can't tell what is it, but I don't like that we're going straight there." Kurenai suddenly stopped, and Shiranui did the same.
"What is it?" Kurenai was asked by Yukikaze.
"Shiranui, I want to ask you something about." the blonde Taimanin replied.
"Right now?" the woman was surprised that Kurenai wanted to talk to her right now.
"It's about that man Walter." the half vampire started, "Did Asagi tell you that a vampire helped us to fight him?"
"Ezekiel, am I right?" Shiranui narrowed her eyes, "So, what with him?"
"I decided not to discuss it with Asagi as her answer will be predictable. But I don't know what you will answer." Kurenai stopped as if she tried to find right words how to say that.
Tatsurou and Yukikaze didn't know what Kurenai wanted, but still they understood it wasn't good at all.
"I would like to join him with Ayame." the blonde Taimanin suddenly announced, "He wants to kill Walter, that's why it would be convenient to join him in order to know what this person is really is and how we can kill him."
"It's dangerous!" Tatsurou quickly protested with such an idea.
"But still, reasonable." Kurenai looked at him and then at Kurenai, "It seems he knows that bastard and knows a little about him."
"I understood your point." Shiranui nodded interrupting her subordinate, "Are you sure he is on our side? If you would want to join 'Red Division' I wouldn't mind. However it the element we know nothing about, are you sure he doesn't work for that Walter?"
"I'm not sure." the woman answered, "But I've seen how he wants to kill him. I feel the same towards Black." she did a pause, "I think you feel the same towards the Incubus King."
"Hey!" Yukikaze exclaimed, "What…"
"Kurenai, step aside!" Shiranui pushed Kurenai aside and then exposed her spear and clashed it with the katana.
"Like always, good reaction." Shiranui saw a woman in front of her in a white and purple suit, with a demonic mask.
"Have we met?" Shiranui asked her.
"Long ago." the woman answered, "I'm surprised you were able to return to Taimanin. You even returned back in action." Shiranui pushed her and looked carefully at the enemy, "Does Asagi have another mission or what?"
Next moment the woman turned her head and looked at the purple haired boy.
"Nice to see you too, Tatsurou." the woman said with a lowered voice.
"Minori?!" Shiranui exclaimed.
"Mom?!" Tatsurou did the same.
"Is it really Tatsurou and Rinko's mother?" Yukikaze couldn't belive to her ears.
Kurenai seemed shocked and said nothing.
"It's really a bad reunion." Minori sighed, "But still I'm glad to see that you grow well." her voice was said, "It's sad that Rinko isn't here."
"How did you disappear?" Shiranui asked the woman, "You were much stronger than me and Asagi… Did that man Walter got you?" Shiranui remembered Asagi showed her the paper.
"Yes, I met him and it was the last battle for me." Minori looked at the night sky, "I really hate that, but I'm serving to him now…" she squeezed the hilt of her katana, "And I will fight you seriously, so be ready to for a harsh fight."
After that two other persons appeared next to her, the first one was the man in the cloak and the hood, while the second one was a monster with crab pincers instead of hands.
"It seems the fun is about to start." the big one with pincers smirked, "Just in time."
"Don't be overconfident, if you underestimate them you're dead." Mystic said to the biggest one and exposed his daggers.
"No, way, this day is really amazing." the biggest one chuckled, "That bitch with ribbon, it seems Lord Walter gave me a good opportunity to avenge.
"Do we know each other?" Shiranui looked at him with surprised eyes, "As I remember I've never seen anyone that big."
"Soon you'll know me." the big monster grinned and was about to attack her.
"She is mine." Minori stopped him, "If you want you can deal with the kids."
"The kids?" the demon looked at the prepared young Taimanin, "Are you crazy? I want a rematch!" the demon looked at her as if he wanted to strike her.
'Is it really mom?' Tatsurou was watching at the woman with katana.
"Tatsurou…" the boy flinched, "Don't worry, we will find a way to help her too."
Tatsurou turned around and saw Yukikaze, whose face was serious, but still with a slight smile.
"Mystic, fight the blonde one, if you want you can join me." Minori replied to the demonic ally.
"What?!" Shiranui exclaimed suddenly.
Minori appeared in front of Shiranui really fast, nevertheless the Taimanin could parry the lunge.
"Don't distract." Minori said coldly.
"Aunty!" Tatsurou shouted.
The boy was about to help Shiranui, but the way was blocked by the massive demon.
"Not so fast!" the demon aimed a blow and hit the rooftop of the building, but still could get Tatsurou as he could dodge it.
"Let's deal with him fast!" Yukikaze quickly aimed her guns at the monster and did a shot.
"Huh?!" the demon looked at her, but still did nothing.
"Got you!' Yukikaze chuckled, when her lighting hit the demon.
"Yes, but not strong enough." the demon, who had scars and wounds of her attack grinned.
Next moment his wound started to close up.
"What?! Self-healing?" Yukikaze exclaimed, "No way!"
The demon rushed to her this time. Yukikaze could escape, but then Tatsurou quickly appeared between them and with his wind katana tried to attract the attention of his enemy on him.
"First I'll deal with you and then with that bitch with big tits." the demon grinned even his fangs were seen.
Kurenai wanted to help them, but she clashed her sword with Mystics daggers. The fight seemed fair enough, Yukikaze and Tatsurou could hold the demon, and Kurenai was able to fight Mystic, though it was difficult for her, but still Yukikaze found moments to help. Shiranui also was fighting well, she could make water weapons and clones, however the former Taimanin, could either avoid the weapons, either destroyed them. Shiranui's clones were created just to attract Minori, however they didn't live long as the woman could destroy them.
"Oleg, are busy right now?" Shiranui said into her communicator.
'Yes, we've just started to fight.' she heard a reply, 'Do you have an opportunity to join forces?'
"No, if we do wrong moves will be killed." the woman answered him dodging the spear of the woman with katana.
'Understood, will try to come to you.' she heard a reply and then she continued the fight.
"Minori! Have you become his puppet?" Shiranui asked the woman clashing her spear with her katana.
"Yes, I have no other option, but fight you." the woman answered Shiranui, "The problem is that I do it being not mind broken or not being hypnotized."
"You must oppose him." Shiranui dodged the attack, "You must try to fight him."
"I'm sorry, but I can't." Minori replied, "He always knows where I am and any time can take me under his control." she said sadly, "At least I'll be able to see and to hear you."
"Understood, then we try to find a way, to kill him." Shiranui pushed Minori, but then jumped as the woman was behind her.
"It'll be difficult to do." Minori sadly sighed again, "My master is far stronger then Edwin Black or Ryuji Kuroi."
"I thought so too." Shiranui smiled, "But Yukikaze and Tatsurou found a way to save me, and will do the same, it's the least what I can do for him."
Minori did a swing and hit the hilt of the spear.
"Please, tell me." Minori said with lowered voice, "Are both him and Rinko fine? And what about Akira?"
"Akira was killed long ago." Shiranui answered, "Before I was captured, and as for your children…" Shiranui created a clone, which tried to hit her opponent, but quickly was destroyed, "They're fine, as you can see."
"I'm glad you stayed with them." Minori was about to attack Shiranui, but still the woman could block the attack, "But it seems, I will fight them now, and that is really messy for me. I hate that I'll do it especially being in my mind."
"I understand you, that's why I said you we're going to help you." Shiranui chuckled and quickly dodge as she heard some sound behind her.
Next moment Minori jumped aside too, and not far from them was something that reminded a scythe, which flew back then.
"You're just in time." Shiranui did a high jump back, and looked at the man with an eye patch, "You always know when the lady needs help."
"I got used to come to the fight being the second one." Cyclopes replied, grabbing his scythe.
"Are you alone?" Shiranui asked him.
"No, with a backup." he smirked and next moment there was a light beam, which was directed at the demon with pincers.
Everyone turned around and saw a metal person with a riffle gun.
"Hush." Mystic said, jumping aside in order not to be slashed by Kurenai.
"Take that!" they heard a loud young male voice.
"And Kangaroo." the man with the cloak dodged again escaping the claws of young mercenary.
"Good, but we have also got reinforcement." Minori responded.
And then a boy in orange uniform appeared with two other persons. One of them was a boy with a trident, while the second one was a girl with a blue scarf and a short sword.
"Torch." Kangaroo chuckled, "It's finally the time I'll kick your ass."
"Loud words for a shrimp like you." the blue haired man in the mask smirked.
"It seems we're equal again." Shiranui replied, "Help the rest, I'll fight Minori."
"I'll assist." Commander said her, "Hush will help them."
But still when they were about to fight again, lighting out of the sky hit the building crushing its roof.
"Damn!" Commander shouted, "Try to land onto the ground safely."
Everyone started to jump by the ridges and other things they could use in order to land safely onto the ground.
'I hope Oleg and his squad will come fast.' Shiranui thought trying not stopping her jumping by the buildings.
Oleg and his squad were jumping from one building to another one pretty fast. They were on some distance, but still not far from each other and were looking for the clues for some time. Sakura was with Ren and Pavel, while Ayame was with Oleg. The team was observing the city from above too. However except lightings there was nothing.
"Is it really a seal?" Ren suddenly asked Sakura, "Maybe just something else?"
"Honestly, I don't know what it is." Sakura replied, "Usually, the place where were these seals were full of demons." Sakura suddenly stopped, "Oleg come to us." she said into her communicator.
In a few minutes Oleg and Ayame joined Sakura.
"What is it?" Oleg asked her, "Did you find anything?"
"No." Sakura replied fast, "But thanks to Ren I have think of something."
"What is it?" Oleg narrowed his eyes and watched at the tanned girl.
"Do you remember, what was the main factor, when we dealt with the seal?" Sakura asked him, Oleg raised his eyebrow, "The presence of the demons." Sakura continued, "First seal, factory with demons. Second one was in Tokyo Kingdom and the Third one was in Yomihara, and demons were always acting strange."
"Do you want to say that we don't we are just losing our time?" Oleg looked at her seriously.
"I didn't say that. But since there are no demons, maybe it's something else? During the mission sis did, there was a guy who controlled gravity, but as I understood there was no demons at all."
"It makes sense." Pavel also looked at Oleg, "But if it's not the seal, what or who it could be."
"Quite a good question." the hunters quickly looked above and saw a Pegasus in the armor above them, "Who is making us to confront this time."
"Aside!" Oleg commanded fast, when a strong wind puff hit the roof top where the Taimanin were.
"Again this guy." Sakura exposed her daggers and was about to jump in order to strike Tardis, but then something metal made her stopping, "What?!" she was surprise.
"Nice jumping skills." she heard another demonic voice, she lowered her head and saw a demon with a big tail.
"Good protection, Malek." Tardis replied and then exclaimed, "You may reveal yourself."
Next moment two other creatures appeared, one of them was a lizard demon with red scale, while the second one reminded a bird and had a big beak instead of his nose.
"Ah, you kids also here." Tiradex grinned exposing his teeth, where was missing one tooth, "So my nose didn't fail me and I'll have a good dinner today."
"Don't underestimate them, or you'll lose your next instead of teeth." Tardis replied him.
"So, these are the ones you were telling me about." the demon that looked like a bird went ahead, "How do you name them?"
"Taimanin." Malek answered fast.
"Taimanin." the demon repeated observing them.
"A new guy?" Ren asked Pavel, who was next to her.
"How interesting, didn't know I will be able to meet you here." the new enemy seemed surprised, he was watching straight at the boy with two handed sword, "It seems I'll have a present for my revival. Sad that Ulan won't be able to join the fun."
"Pavel, do you know him?" Oleg looked at his Russian student.
"I would remember someone like him if I fought him in the past." Pavel glanced at Oleg.
"Maybe you met him with Maria?" Ren asked the boy, "Or with someone else?"
"I… Look out!" Pavel exclaimed and then all of them dodged the another wind attack , which consisted of wind blade.
"I'll deal with the girl." Tiradex rushed ahead at Ren.
"I'll fight the one with the strange attire." Malek jumped and hit with his tail at the roof top where Oleg was, but the man could avoid the strike.
"I'll assist you!" Ayame shouted, exposing her gun, but she was unable to use it as a puff of wind interrupted her.
"Not so fast." Tardis replied her and flew straight at her, making Ayame to dodge fast.
The battle of the second team started, the battle was a little problematic, however Tardis and the new demon could help the other two members. Pavel and Sakura were focusing on him. However the demon was skillful and fast.
"Damn." Sakura spitted, when he dodged from another shadow attack, "Pavel, I'll try to fight him and you try on killing him." Pavel nodded and followed Sakura who started to attack again, 'Even his claws are pain in the ass.' she was hitting him with her daggers, which he easily parried with his claws.
"I'm surprised you didn't boring that skillful girl with you." the demon chuckled as he did a big jump and then hit the roof top with his leg creating a wind squall.
"Damn!" Sakura didn't predict he will do something like that and flew aside.
'This guy is strong.' Oleg quickly glanced at the new demon, "How about this then." Oleg exposed all his daggers and started to direct them at Malek, but at the same time he sent some of them at Tiradex in order to help Ren.
"What the hell are you blabbering about?" Pavel looked at the demon, "What girl you're talking about?"
"The one with spear." the monster replied, "She was really strong one."
'What the hell he is talking about?' Pavel thought try to listening into his words.
'Oleg, are busy right now?' Shiranui voice was heard in Oleg's communicator.
"Yes, we've just started to fight." he replied her, "Do you have an opportunity to join forces?"
'No, if we do wrong moves will be killed.' the woman answered him Oleg in a rush.
"Understood, will try to come to you." he answered then he continued the fight, "Everyone! We must try to join forces with the other team!" Oleg shouted to his team.
"Understood!" everyone answered him.
"As if I'll let you go." the lizard demon smirked and spitted another flame at Ren, "Damn bitch became faster."
"Am I being praised?" Ren smirked too, "This time I won't lose like I did in the first fight."
Suddenly Oleg appeared between them and made the lizard demon to step back because of his daggers. Next moment everyone ran to the direction they came from in order to join the second team. Suddenly the wind on their way became strong and it was difficult for them.
"What is going on?" Ayame tried to jump to another building but was unable to do that.
"Is that Pegasus does that?" Sakura looked at Oleg.
"I'm sorry, but I can't do that." Tardis, who was above her answered, and headed straight at Sakura, hitting her at stomach.
"Sakura!" Oleg shouted seeing how she was falling to the ridge of the building.
The other demon didn't meddle and came to them fast.
"It seems this time will be another." the demon with the beak smirked and was about to stretch his arm, but suddenly jumped aside as something appeared near him fast.
"Looks like you have big problems here." they saw a man in the great coat and in the service cap, who had sickles in his hand.
"You're just in time Drunkard." Oleg exhaled as he had a time to regroup and to help Sakura to get up.
Next moment there appeared another person in white uniform with a weapon that looked like a spear.
"And even Avalanche." Oleg was glad that there were two people to help them.
"Have a rest, we'll change you." Avalanche said to Oleg and then both of the mercenaries headed to attack the demon with the tail and the one who was a new one.
"I'll assist you, Ren." Pavel prepared his sword and with Ren's nod they headed at the Tiradex.
"This one seems pretty strong." Drunkard stated after few minutes of fighting with the bird monster, "I can't find a moment to attack him."
"You're not bad too human, but your powers are pathetic against the general." the demon smirked.
"General Murn, don't underestimate them." Tardis said him trying to protect his allies and at the same time to prevent Ayame's shots.
'General?' Sakura frowned, 'Isn't he like the one sis told me about.' then she ran fast to him, 'First to kick his ass, then to ask.' Sakura was about to join Drunkard, when suddenly lighting hit the building straight in the middle.
"What?!" everyone exclaimed.
"Be careful!" Ayame tried to find a way to how not to fall onto the ground from such height.
Oleg and Sakura were trying to use the ridges of other building, while Drunkard and Avalanche could find an opportunity to hand on of them. Ren and Pavel had worse positions, but still they could use other obstacles to reach the ground. The enemies also didn't confuse. Tardis could help Tiradex, while Malek hung on the ridge of the nearby building with his tail. And Murn could gracefully jump between the buildings using his wind power.
"Damn, that was close." Ren rubbed the back of her head, she quickly looked around, but saw no one around her, "Probably, Pavel is behind the building!' she grabbed her short sword and rushed to the needed place, 'Thank goodness the alley is empty.' she put on a mask which covered the lower part of her face, she looked out of the corner and saw how Pavel was trying to get up.
"Shit, that was really a bad thing, I've ever met." the boy tried to get up.
"Pavel, are you alright?!" Ren rushed to him and helped him to get up.
"Yeah, thanks." Pavel smiled, "We must harry, or the rest will have problems!" Ren nodded, and when Pavel saw her face covered with the mask he did the same.
'Pavel! Quickly head to Shiranui's squad!' the boy heard the voice of his teacher in his communicator.
"What?! But what about you?!" Pavel didn't like the idea.
'We're doing the same!' Oleg replied, 'Try not to fight the enemies! Especially the one with the beak.'
"Understood." Pavel nodded and then both of them hurried to the needed location using their displayed on their gloves.
However they're way was interrupted by suddenly appeared fire, which hit the ground.
"You will go nowhere." Tiradex landed straight in front of them, "I won't let you escape that easily."
"Sorry slobbery mouth, but we have no time, so play time is over." Ren prepared for fight.
"Loud words for a human." the demon grinned and rushed at the Taimanin.
"Ren, the tactics is the same." Pavel prepared his sword, "I'll distract and you will finish him."
"Yeah, let's finish him together." Ren smiled and then jumped aside, while Pavel jumped straight at the demon.
The fight began, this time the young hunters fought really well. Pavel did interesting moves, while Ren protected him with her water bullets. Tiradex tried his best, however it was difficult for him as his flame was useless against Ren's bullets.
'It seems, I must retreat and join to Tardis.' Tiradex thought trying to destroy another bullet with his flame, 'Now!' he thought and was about to jump strait onto the building.
"Ren, jump on my sword!" Pavel suddenly shouted, th girl didn't lose time and did what was needed, next moment she was straight above the Tiradex.
"What?!" the demon seemed astonished.
"Take that!" Ren hit his head with her leg, making him fall straight onto the ground.
"Bitch…" the dinosaur groaned, he wanted to get up but next moment felt a cold blade against his neck.
"I wouldn't advise you to thrash about." Pavel told him, "Or you'll lose your head."
"And I wouldn't like to try it." Ren quickly joined him, "As I remember it right, Walter was scare of this sword."
"As if I belive he scared someone like you stupid kids." Tiradex mumbled, "Lord Walter scares no one. And when our plan we'll be fulfilled all those, who opposed will be our slaves."
"We'll never let this happened." Ren answered him.
"Tell us what you know about that man." Pavel demanded, "What he really is? And what does he want with the destruction of the seals?"
"I will rather die than tell you our plans…" Tiradex groaned, next moment he opened his maw and bit his own tongue.
"What?!" Ren was shocked of what she had just seen.
"Did he really bit his tongue?!" Pavel was surprised a lot too.
The demon convulsed and then seemed like he lost consciousness.
"Did… did he really die?" Ren looked at the demon that wasn't moving.
"It seems so." Pavel nodded and poked at him with his sword, "Looks like to say even a single thing about that man is really scaring thing."
"And you're right." they both heard a voice behind them, "You have no idea about who you're opposing."
They turned around and saw the demon with the beak, which was slowly coming to them.
"Maybe you could enlighten us?" Pavel tensed, but tried no to show that he was excited.
"I could." the demon smirked, "But ground meat have no point in that."
Pavel and Ren wanted to jump at him, but suddenly a strong puff of wind made them fall onto the ground.
"Now, it's time for you to pay for my shame." Murn jumped at landed next to Pavel, he stepped onto his back and smirked, "This time, I'll have your neck." he did a swing, but when he did he was shocked, "What?! How?!" no there was no one under him, he looked at the place where was Ren too, "It seems this time my vengeance failed." Murn frowned, "I must contact with Tardis, what are our next move."
"Pavel!" Ren tried to get up.
"Pavel, Ren?" Ren looked to the side were she heard another voice and saw Tatsurou, who was standing with Kurenai and Kangaroo, "Where did you come from?"
"Tatsurou?" Pavel raised his head and saw the boy with purple hair, "How did you…" Pavel was about to ask the purple haired boy, when suddenly saw the place around him was different.
"How did you appear here?" Kurenai asked the two Taimanin with interest.
"I don't know, we defeated on demon, and the appeared another one." Pavel explained as he could, "We almost lost to him and then…" he stumbled, "Saw you."
"What the hell is going on here?" Kangaroo looked at Kurenai.
"I don't know, but we must join forces with others." Kurenai said, "Let's find Shiranui and Yukikaze. They must be somewhere nearby."
Ren and Pavel nodded and then the team headed to the other side if the building in order to find their allies.
"That was really close." Shiranui took her spear from the ground, "One wrong move and we're done." she looked at the man who was next to her, "Thanks for helping with your wind."
"Don't mention it." Commander closed his eye with an eye patch, "What about you?" he looked at Yukikaze, "Is everything fine?"
"Yeah." Yukikaze nodded it was possible to see that she still was shocked, "What the hell has just happened? Where that lighting came from?"
"From the sky, of course." they heard a voice somewhere behind them, "I'm glad you all could get straight into my trap."
"Another one?" Shiranui quickly turned around with her spear in readiness.
Commander also prepared his scythe for fight, and Yukikaze her guns. Next moment when they saw to the side where they have heard the voice, they saw a person, who was hanging in the air. The person looked like a boy around fourteen years old, the clothes on him were strange. A tunic which was closed on his next and chest, but still opened in the lower part, and let them see his pans and shoes. The boy had gray hair and pale skin, his eyes were yellow. It was possible to see some book or copybook in his hand.
"So, it's some shrimp after lightings?" Yukikaze said with risen voice, "Who the hell are you?"
"It seems the girl needs to be taught in politeness." the young boy said, and started to sparkle, and then he stretched out his hand and released lighting out of his hand.
"Take that!" Yukikaze shouted and released several lightning bolts at the kid.
The angle of her shots was well done, however the boy stretched out his hand and absorbed the attack.
"What?!" Yukikaze seemed shocked.
"It seems he can absorb lighting." Shiranui frowned, "That means I'll be not so helpful against him."
"I'll try to take him and you will kill him." Commander jumped and did a wind blade, which was released out of his scythe.
Shiranui found a moment and did a jump too.
"Not, bad." the boy chuckled, but dodge her strike, "But I have much more experience I battles so it'll be hard for you to defeat us."
"One more time." Commander replied her and then tried to do several attacks.
Shiranui tried to do dead strikes, while Cyclopes distracted the boy, however it was difficult for them as he could fly. Next moment there appeared Minori out of nowhere and tried to slice the kid, but the boy did a lighting impulse out of his body, what did a good shield and didn't let the former Taimanin to get him.
"It seems there was no seal." Minori landed onto the ground next to Shiranui, "That means we have nothing to do here. Lord Walter your orders?" Minori did a pause, and then replied, "Understood, we leave then!"
"Minori, wait!" Shiranui tried to stop the woman.
"Sorry, Shiranui…" Minori only replied her and then disappeared.
"Well, it seems he Atke will know about me." the kid smirked, "However, it'll be only good for me, since we'll be able to make everything better."
"What are you talking about?!" Yukikaze shouted at him.
"Soon you will understand." the boy grinned and did several lighting shot straight at Yukikaze.
The girl did the same, however the shots of the enemy were stronger and the girl was confused.
"Yukikaze!" Shiranui shouted.
However next moment she was protected by Commander, who appeared between the lighting and the girl.
"Dammit!" Commander groaned, when he fell onto the ground.
"It seems you're the bold one." the kid seemed surprised, "But bold ones always die first." the boy seemed about to attack again.
But suddenly there appeared several shadows and next moment the boy started to fly chaotically in order to protect himself.
"Shiranui! Are you alright?!" Kurenai asked the woman, who was confused, because of the situation, along with her there were Pavel, Ren, Tatsurou and Kangaroo.
"Well it seems the things are becoming more and more interesting." the boy looked around and smirked, "However it doesn't matter how much of you're here I'll kill all of you."
"Listen!" Shiranui exclaimed, "He is after these lightings! Also be careful he is a kid, but still dangerous!"
Kangaroo and Tatsurou decided to attack him first, Kurenai along with Pavel and Ren joined in few seconds. The fight was difficult for the kid, but still he could compensate his disadvantage with his lighting, which now where chaotic and hit random places, what was unease to predict.
"If he uses lighting it means his weakness is in ground!" Shiranui shouted.
"I'll try to ground him!" the boy with claws responded, "But you need to make him land on the ground!"
"Easy to say than to do." Kurenai looked at the kid that was next to her.
"I'll wait and won't attack him. It'll be easier for me to do that." the boy answered her fast.
"Ren." Pavel whispered, "Let's try our combo."
"Now?" Ren looked at him with surprised eyes, "But we didn't work it well, what if…"
"Don't worry, we'll do it fine." Pavel chuckled, "Just do the moves we did." Ren frowned, but nodded.
When Tatsurou along with Shiranui tried to attack him one more time, Pavel and Ren joined them, the boy felt difficulties and tried only to dodge the attacks, suddenly Pavel threw his sword above.
"Pavel! I told you!" Shiranui didn't like that Pavel and Ren were about to do what Shiranui forbid them to do.
However there was no respond, Ren threw her short blade to Pavel, and captured his sword, suddenly she did a large swing and could scratch the boy.
"What?!" he was surprised and flew back, "Take that!" he was about to shot with his lighting at Ren, when Pavel suddenly appeared in front of him and kicked the boy with his leg at his arm, but still Pavel was also repelled as the lighting hit him, "Damn humans…" the boy mumbled when he landed onto the ground, even the book fell out of his hand, "Take that!" he did a shot with his lighting, the hunters quickly avoided the attack, but suddenly heard a scream.
"What was that?!" Yukikaze looked around, and saw a woman who was in the hands of the man who was wearing a service cap and a greatcoat.
"Everything is fine." Drunkard replied her.
"What?" the young boy was about to take a wing into the air again, but was suddenly stuck, "Why you…" he looked at the other boy with claws, "I'll take you." the boy wanted to strike the lighting again, but something hit his hand, and the lighting wasn't released as his hand was covered with something like a clay.
"Now you won't be so movable." the boy chuckled.
"Nice timing." Drunkard praised the boy.
Suddenly there also appeared Ayame, Oleg and Sakura, who also surrounded the boy.
"It seems you have only one option." Ren said to the boy.
"Surrender and we'll spare your life." Tatsurou said being behind him.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not so easy to be killed." the boy's eyes suddenly turned green and next moment lighting hit him, and the boy vanished.
"Damn he escaped." Kangaroo, mumbled, "When we finally could capture him."
Suddenly they heard a groan. Shiranui quickly remembered about the man with the eye patch and rushed to him in order to fin how she could help him.
"Commander!" the boy with claws also rushed to him.
"Carefully!" Shiranui didn't let him come closer, "Let me see it." she slightly removed his hand from the wound, that made the man to hiss.
"How is it?" Commander asked her not liking her expression.
"Not good at all." she answered him, "I'll try to slow it down, but I don't know will it help or not."
Everyone came close in order to watch at the man.
"Commander?!" they suddenly heard another male voice, they turned around and saw Avalanche and Hush, who somehow came together, Hush had damaged arm, while Avalanche also had some scars.
The bleeding could stop, but still it was still impossible for him to move.
"There must be a way to do something with bleeding." Tatsurou didn't want to the man, who was helping them to die.
"I won't be able to control his blood walking." Shiranui said, "Something wrong and everything can be fatal."
"There must be something…" Oleg seemed quite, however he also was scared.
"Kangaroo." Drunkard turned to the boy, "Can you make your clay clean and like glue in order him not to lose everything on his way?"
"I can, but…" the boy stumbled, "I never did it like that."
"Try, you have one attempt." the man ordered him.
The boy only nodded and put his hands into his bag, which was on his belt from behind. He kneeled next to the man with the eye patch and started to work over the clay.
"Here." Drunkard took out his flask and then poured everything onto the boy's clay, "I think the alcohol must make it clean too."
"Well, I think it's done." Kangaroo said in some minutes.
"How do you understand that?" Avalanche asked him.
"I just feel it." the boy said, he was worried, however tried to hold himself, "Well, now or never!" the boy put his hands onto the wound of the man.
The clay started to cover the wound like some glued material. Shiranui removed her hand in order not to let them be stuck too. When everything was done, the woman looked the wound over and was glad that the bleeding stopped.
"It seems we have no other option but take him to Gosha." Shiranui said rather to him than to her teammates.
"I will be able to reach base…" Commander tried to get up, but he didn't find powers for that.
"Don't be stupid! We'll be taken by the vehicle it'll deliver you too!" Shiranui raised her voice and tried to seem like his mother or something like that.
"Yes, who knows what can happen to you!" Oleg joined her side.
Commander wanted to argue, however Drunkard didn't let him to do that.
"They're right. Who knows for how long this thing will hold at least they will give you needed treatment and then you'll be able to return."
"If you're scared you'll be taken like a prisoner, I'll give you my word, we'll let you go when everything is fine." Shiranui said him, "You'll be my guest there, so no one will even think to touch you."
Commander looked at the man with a service cap.
"I'll take care of the organization, while you have sick days." Drunkard answered, "Not for the first time."
"Please, Commander!" Kangaroo also joined to them, "Do as they say, don't be stupid!"
"It's a surprise to hear something like that from you." the one eyed man tried to smirk, he thought for a little time and then said, "Fine, it seems I have no other choice, but follow you."
Shiranui smiled, that she had no need to take the man with force to Gosha.
"Come on." Shiranui tried to help him to get up, Oleg also came to her in order to hold the man, "How are we going to help get him on the building?"
"I'll use my power for that." Oleg said, "It's the only way for that."
"Then we'll go to our base." Drunkard said to them, "Hush also needs repairing."
"Yes, if something goes wrong we'll contact you." Oleg nodded.
"Wait a minute…" Yukikaze looked around, "Where's Ayame and Kurenai?"
"It's seems they've ran away after all…" Shiranui didn't like that, "Sakura?!" Shiranui called younger Igawa, "What are you doing there?"
"Ah? I was looking for the trials of our enemies." Sakura replied, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice them."
"Fine, we'll discuss it later." Shiranui sighed, "Now we must try to reach that building."
"Wait, what about the woman that Drunkard saved?" Yukikaze looked around, "Where's she?"
"It seems she could run away." Tatsurou also looked around, but didn't notice her.
"I have a bad feeling like I've have already seen her. What she looked like?" she turned to Drunkard, who was about to leave.
"Black hair and dark skin." the man merely replied and then also followed his friends.
"What is it Yukikaze?" Tatsurou asked her.
"I'll tell you later." Yukikaze answered him and then watched at the man was trying to get onto the building, "If not me, he wouldn't wounded that bad." Yukikaze mumbled then.
"Don't blame yourself." Tatsurou tried to cheer the girl up, though he wasn't happy too "That guy was really strong and if not with the big number we wouldn't be able to defeat him."
"I understand that, but still I feel messy myself. The one who must cheer up is me." Yukikaze answered him.
"Because of my mother?" Tatsurou understood what the girl was talking about.
"Don't worry, we save my mom, and will save yours." Yukikaze hit the boy's shoulder, "I swear will bring her back home too soon." she smiled widely trying to cheer the boy up, however it seems didn't help a lot, "Let's go, I don't want to make them waiting us." then both of them followed the rest of their team to the top of the building.
"By the way, sensei." Ren turned to Shiranui, "What should we do with the corpse of one of our enemy?"
"What do you mean?" Shiranui was watching at the Russian teacher, who was trying to help Commander to reach the rooftop.
"We could defeat the lizard demon." Pavel answered her, "When we were about to interrogate him he bit his tongue and…" Pavel stumbled.
"We think he is dead." Ren finished understanding there was nothing they could do about that.
"We must take it to the village." Shiranui said, "Probably we could take him on our way there. Do you remember where is the corpse?"
"Yes, we'll show you the place." Pavel nodded.
"Why so long?" Walter asked Minori, who appeared behind him.
"I'm sorry for meddling, but I had to ensure that it wasn't the seal." the woman merely replied him, "As I understood it was a young boy in strange suite with gray hair and pale skin. He is after that misunderstanding."
"The young boy?" Walter raised his eyebrow, he came to the woman and looked straight at her, "Are you sure in that?"
"Yes." Minori nodded, "He was able to use lightning powers."
'If it's really him, then how he survived, and where he was hiding?' Walter frowned.
"Lord Walter." there was a voice somewhere above them, "I must report that Tiradex is dead." Tardis landed next to him, "What we must do to him?"
"To whom did he lose?" Walter asked the Pegasus.
"As General Murn said, he had lost to the young hunters." Tardis answered, "The girl with blue attire and the sword."
'Is it that boy?' Minori thought watching straight at the Pegasus.
"Leave him." Walter merely replied, "If he lost to kids, there is no need to have someone weak like him."
"Understood." Tardis nodded, "They I'll tell our allies to go to the base." Walter only nodded, but his face was thoughtful.
"It seems I have to discuss something with Celine." the man looked at the night sky, "Next time we must be careful and not to be trapped like that." he looked at Minori, and narrowed his eyes, "Was there anything else what is important?"
"No, only that." Minori answered him emotionless.
"I see. Then let's return back. Probably the seal will be activated near time soon."
"These damn humans…" the kid with pale skin appeared in some forest, where were a lot of trees, "I've underestimated them. If I would use that trick I would be dead."
"I always told you not to on your powers." the boy looked around and saw a paled skin woman which a long skirt, which closed all her legs, but still her upper part was more opened, and her head was covered with the hood, "But you did well." the woman came closer to him and watched at the boy, "The lesson is taught, so they will be ready for next attack much better." she looked at his hands then, "And it seems that the book is there, am I right?"
"Yes, that damn boy could ambush me." the kid spitted, "I wasn't ready for that, because of the rest."
"But still the work is done." the woman nodded, "Now me must hope that the other two will do their work well."
"I don't know is it good to give them such important things?" the boy asked the woman, "What if something goes wrong and they lose them?"
"Don't worry, I know they won't fail me." the woman answered him peacefully, "They have no right to fail. And as for the first one, he faced both of Taimanin and 'The Third Law', while the third one is still about to expose himself."
"Wow, didn't know that insect brain will be able to fight them both." the kid chuckled, "Knowing him he must do something magnificent in order to pay them back.
"You always have quarrels with others." the woman put her hand onto his shoulder, "You're a body guard, you don't need to think a lot."
"Mistress!" the boy removed her hand from his shoulder, "I hate when you say that about me!"
"Don't take it close to you heart, you must protect, but not to take part in tactics." she looked at the night sky.
"But you know, I'm surprised you decided to protect other humans and make them not to see this fight." the boy said to the woman.
"Ordinary humans are not ready to know about that." the woman said, "But still soon they all will know what is about to happen, and will Taimanin be able to prevent it or not." she answered him and then both of them disappeared, with a strange crack as if some glass was broken.
