Chapter 50
A sister betrayed
Nora Pov: It was the next day since we take the fort to left the others join us in the north. Man it was pain breaking into this place. Now that the others are here we can finally take down the Khan and Mephistomon. I been wanting to pound ram boy ass into the ground for a long time. The sooner we get it done the sooner we can go home. We were busy watching Kenji load up a cart with supplies to take back to Jogaku. "Is that everything Kenji?" Jin ask the sake seller. 'Appear so my lord this is the last cart, I'll make sure it get to the temple in one piece." Kenji said. 'No pit stops Kenji, I mean it or else." I said as I punch my palm making him Gulp in fear. 'Yes lady Nora." He said as he set out onto the road. "We would get going to, the others have already left." Jaune said. "True, once everyone get set up at the temple we can begin planning our assault on the Khan base." Ren said. I felt someone tug on my skirt as I look down to see my sweet boy Kaji.
"What is it sweetie?" I ask. 'I see granny Masako over there, she doing something." He said. We look to see Masako was at a shrine of sorts praying. "She haven't left yet wonder why?" Jaune ask. 'Let go see if she alright." Pyrrha said. as we walk over to see Masako sitting on the ground. "Everyone." Masako said as she notice us. "Sorry to interrupt." Jin said. 'Your not." She said. "What are you doing?" Jaune ask. "She been praying." Jin said. "To my ancestors for forgiveness for what I'm about to do." Masako said as she got up. "Is this about your sister, what did they said about the matter?" Pyrrha ask. ""I can't hear them." Masako said. "Perhaps your ancestors are silent because they can't do what you must." Jin said. "I know where my sister is, clan Kikuichi fort her in the north.." Masako said. "So you were able to find where she been hiding all this time." Ren said. "Then your ready." Jin said. "I have no incense let to burn, no more prayers to make." She said. 'Then let finish this already." I said wanting to get this bitch. "We head to our horses to ride out.
"The Kikuchi estate is this way." Masako said as we follow her. "I still can't believe that your own sister would do this to you or why?" Jaune ask. "That what I intend to find out today Jaune." Masako said. "What ever the reason she went to great lengths to fake her death to take suspicion off herself." Ren said. "How did you find your sister?" Jin ask. "She marry a man name Ikeda a retainer for clan Kikuchi." Masako said. "Their strong hold is near here, under the mountain." Jin said. ""She always wanted an estate and holding of her own." Masako said. "And with Kikuchi clan fell at Komoda." Jin said. "It made sense she would try and take Kikuchi for herself." Masako said as we ride on toward the mountain. "Especially after she raided to take yours." Jin said. 'But still why attack her own family like that?" Pyrrha ask. "We'll find the answer when we confronted her." Falcomon said. "I asked around, it seem a new clan has taken up residence. Their emblem matches the ones on the notes." Masako said.
"Then that proves she is behind this." Jaune said. "People say she turn it into a heaven for refugees. Claiming she know what it like to lose her home." Masako said. "Do you think it true?" Jin ask. "Were about to find out." Masako said. "Why would your sister say she lost her home Masako?" Ren ask. "She have to leave home when she married Ikeda." Masako said. "You say Ikeda was a retainer?" Jin ask. "Yes." Masako said. "But your the younger sibling, in cases like this she would be the one to marry a samurai or a noble." Pyrrha said. "When we were young, bandits attack our estate. Hana took shelter with my parents. I took up a sword. Only after I dispatch the bandits did a samurai guard arrive to help. Adachi was leading them. Hana saw him as a way it realized her ambitions. But he only had eyes for me." Masako said. "I see, she became jealous when lord Adachi chose you That definitely sound like motive for what she did." Jaune said. "The seed of many betrayals Jaune." Jin said. "I wanted to ease her heart break. So I help arrange for her marriage to Ikeda and she was sent north." Masako said.
"Did you know the man you sent your sister to live with?" Jin ask. "Ikeda was a respected widower, people spoke well of his kindness." Masako said. "Kindness is a mask easily remove behind close doors." Jin said. "Jin have a point, this guy could have been an abused jerk to Hana another reason to push her to attack you." I said. "We want to understand why she would want to murdered your family after so many years." Pyrrha said. "There is only one thing to understand. Hana murdered my family and today she will pay for it." Masako said. "But ask yourself this Masako, can you really kill your own sister?" Revenge will only destroy you." Ren said as we were getting closer to the mountain. "Was there ever any sigh of her betrayal?" Jin ask. "We were never close, but our relationship was always cordial. I would see her at Lord Shimura conclaves. We would exchange pleasantries. I had no idea she held such hate in her heart." Masako said. "She must have hid it well." Falcomon said. 'But she was at your estate on the day of the attack." Jin said.
"She came that morning to wait with me for news from Komoda. We were both concerns for our husbands. It was the first time I felt closer to her. She met my grandchildren brought them gifts. They lover her. Now I know she hadn't come for comfort, but to witness our deaths." Masako said with venom in her voice. "The women in your family fought well." Jin said. 'Yeah we saw the aftermath they must have been strong." I said. "I stay with my son wives while Hana took the children and ran to the stables. Afterward I found what I thought was her body, ." Masako said. "She must have prepare a body double before hand to fake her death., to cover her tracks." Ren said. "Appear so Ren, her face was brutalized and unrecognizable.. But the gold sash was Hana's." Masako said. "She must have learn you survive the attack faked her death to escape you like Ren have said. A clever plan." Jin said. 'What more somehow got Digimon to help to take out the loose ends the other people who were involve in this mess." Jaune said. "My survival was her greatest mistake." Masako said as we arrive near the fort.
"Leave the horses, we'll continue on foot." Masako said as we left the horses. We head to the gat to see a group of men blocking the way. They saw Masako as they draw their weapons and came at us. "White drive!" Jaune shout as an white aura appears over him as he shot off like a bullet to slam through a couple of the thuds. "Wall raltz!" Ludomon shout as he jump and slam into a guard face knocking him down the stairs. "Osu!" Pyrrha shout as she send them flying by repelling their armor. "Shadow drive!" Ren said as a black aura cover him as he jump and dive at them sending them barreling into the air. I fire my grenade launcher to help clear the way. 'Spiral twister!' Biyomon shout as she shot her flames at a few of them. "Break claw!" Gammamon shout as he nail on in the balls. That my boy ahaha. Jin duck under one blade as he gutted him like a fish as his insides fell out. Jin them thrust his sword into another neck t6o kill him. Masako shot her arrow into the head of one and them slash another across the chest. "Help me with the gate." Masako said as she and Jin open the gate.
On the other side we saw many people here. ""So she is helping people." Jin said as we look around. Masako scoff. "Hana help no one but her self. " Masako said. "She is most likely in the main house." Ren said. "Then let clear the way." Jaune said as we saw more guards coming. 'Let level up." I said. "Digi-modify Digivolvtion activate!" We shout.

'Jaune charge at a guard to use his shield to block his blade and them push him back as Jaune stab him in the chest. "Assault claw!" Tialudomon shout as he thrust his claw into one. Pyrrha use her powers to made a stack of swords from the local forge as they were stab into the guards. "Shadow dragon fist!" Ren shout as he punches a few of them back. "Kunai wing!" Peckmon shout as he shot his knives at them. I swung my hammer at a barrel as it was launch at a group knocking them down. 'Mach glide!" Birdramon shout as she tackle into a few of them. Jin use a smoke bomb to blind and cut a few of them down. Masako stab the last one in the chest. With the way clear we hurry to get to the main house to find Hana. "What will you do when you see her." Jin ask. "Exactly what she did to me." Masako said. "Just remember what we said ok Masako." Pyrrha said. "She still your family." I said. 'My family is dead, she nothing to mean to me but just a monster." Masako said as we came to the main house. "Hana show your self!" She shout as we watch an older woman in a crimson kimono with a gold sash came out of the house.
"Little sister." Hana said in a mocking tone. "You left me thing I buried you who was it really?" Masako ask. "A peasant woman killed by the Mongols, did you weep for me." Hana said clearing taunting Masako. "Man what a bitch." I said. "You have taken everything from me." Masako said. "Daughters and grandchildren, not nearly enough. The Mongols robbed me of Adachi death and you cheated yours. But my new friend will fix that soon enough." Hana said as she went into the house. We heard a loud scream that cause us to cover our ears. We saw something on the roof. It was a short white bird woman with wings on her arms and bird like feet. She have a white shawl over her shoulders and a gold mask and a red hat on her head. I took out my D-arc to check her out. "[Sirenmon ultimate level shaman Digimon. This song bird will shatter your ears drums with her symphony cannon attack.]" I said. 'Why are you helping Hana beast!" Maskao ask. "Oh that were using his human as a distraction to keep you tamers out of our way while my master look for his prize." Sirenmon said as she cross her arms.
"Jin you and Masako get to cover while we hand this." Jaune said. "Right." He said as they took cover. Sirenmon jump down to face us. 'it time for my show to begin." She said as we got ready."Digi-modify Matrix Digivolvtion activate!" We shout.

"White dragon roar!" Jaune shout as he send the roar at Sirenmon as the bird woman took to the air to dodge him. "Lighting buster!" Raijinludomon shout as he shot his lighting blast at her as she twist in the air to avoid it. Man she hard to hit "Symphony cannon!" Sirenmon shout as she shot music notes from her mouth toward us. We move to avoid them as they explodes. Ok I heard music can be killer but this it too much. More notes came at us as Pyrrha put up a sand wall to defend against them. Ren use the roof to jump at Sirenmon. "Shadow dragon talon!" He shout as he aim a shadow cover foot at her. But she was able to grab his foot and throw him to the ground. "Savage emperor!" Crowmon shout as he shot at her as he chase her in the sky. She continue to dodge him as she soon tackle him back. 'Ha ha you can't catch me!" She shout as she shot more notes at us. "Wing blade!" Garudamon shout as she shot her energy bird to counter the notes. Sirenmon drop down to dodge it. "We can't hit her while she in the air." Jaune said.
"Then we force her to stay low, Jaune let use rough silk." Ren said. 'Good idea that should force her into one place." Jaune said. 'And then I will stud this parrot up." I said as I got my hammer ready. "Like you can stop me." Sirenmon said as she swoop down to charge at us. "White shadow dragons rough silk!" They shout as they shot a barrage of light and shadow beams from their fingers as they form a net forcing Sirenmon to stop where we want her. 'What no I can't be cage!" She shout as she saw me above her with my hammer coming for her. 'Show over!" I shout as I slam my hammer onto her head and to the ground as I fire blasting her to data bits. "Glad that over." Jaune said. 'Wait where Jin and Masako?" Pyrrha said. 'They must have went after Hana during the fight." Ren said. 'Come on." I said as we rush into the house. Once there we found the others standing over Hana body. "Is it over?" Jaune ask. 'It is, let us tend to the body." Masako said. The guys help her to build a pyre as they burn Hana body." We sat down to watch the fames consume Hana.
"I never mourn my family, I've tried to honor them. Meditate on treasure memories. But she consume them." Masako said as her eyes never leave the fire. "Even now, I have nothing left." She said sadly. "That not true, as long as you hold your family memory in your heart they are never truly gone." Jaune said trying to comfort her. "You accomplished what you set out to do. You have honor your family, give them justice. Now you may find peace." Jin said. Masako shook her head. "No this path does not lead to peace." She said. "Where does it end?" Jin ask. "I do not know I have to continue to walk it to find out." Masako said. "Then wee wish you the best of luck finding it." Ren said as we got up. "Thank you, I will be there when you need me." She said as we walk away from her. 'I hope she will be alright." I said worry about Masako. 'Granny Masako is strong, she will be alright." Kaji said with a smile. "Indeed young one, this is just another step for her. Let us leave her for now and make camp before we head to Jogaku." Jin said as we left the fort to make our camp. I hope Masako can find what she is looking for.
