Chapter 12: Illuminate My Shadow

/

Jackie was leaving; her pact with Erebus was surely a sin. ~ I need to get to Ami. ~

~We shall, child. For the sake of your world and my own. There is a reason why Lady Arianna's vessel did not tell us of Mr. Grayson's state. You can see it, yet do not walk the path of hatred once you do. ~

He opened up a rift as she drifted over and gasped, covering her lips at the two; Slade being controlled by the false Hades, and Dick Grayson, by Ares. God of war.

~ This….I have to do someth –

Her brown eyes saw another as she covered them. Erebus shut the portal doorway as soon as he'd felt it ache. ~ That light…it was a being above the Universal path….who? ~

~I, think….~ Jackie's eyes gazed and squinted at the last of that face cast in sigils. ~ It can't be!? Raku??

~ I do not "exactly" enjoy doing this with you. ~ Hakuro floated within the space they shared, looking into space as they were protected; cocooned from all harm. ~I cannot say that I do not appreciate your honesty, but I do feel differently. These people, these friends are ours as well. You and I cannot give up. ~

~ I know that. ~ huffed Hakuro as he stood back to back with his brother at arms.

~Ready?

~Fire is normally, hot, is it not? ~ Hakuro chuckled back.

(It's similar to Digimon and mecha anime, they are bonded inside a force of energy while this new character they both are and control is fixing past mistakes with an incredible power to manifest that energy. So? What comes next…)

Richard didn't know why he had made a pact to stop Slade's possessor the last time, or the next. He just knew that Anna, his dear little spit fire was too blinded by her own insecurities, the same way as Terra. Even how Raven had just followed to sacrifice herself. Slade didn't care for anyone, he was surely using Dick's baby girl in a plot that even possessed, the man's lips remained bolted shut.

Anna stood frozen as Aiden watched Raku's new "avatar" of a sort take to the fight with Ava screaming out. "No…. he's going to kill her! We have to –

"On it." Verra moved and swapped faces as he became a dark dragon and took to the air. "He's not enough to stop her."

Slade's body – taker smirked as Dick kept hitting back to keep him silent. ~ They…. are not yours to mess with!! Stay away!!"

"Dad!?" Aiden ran, but Anna stopped him. "Contact mom."

"What?" Aiden gawked and threw his arms out. "This is a war now! I can't let this –

"CALL." Anna's tone was strict and clipped. Just like Slade's, as she ignored the fact. "Mom, now."

Sometimes, you had to borrow examples from your enemies to really gauge what was good or evil. Commandeering but not evil, she watched Aiden telepathically access the channels while Kori, gasped out. Nearly having Kayu steer them off a cliff in the process.

~What is your issue with land vehicles, dog face?? ~

~I…didn't do that…. did I? ~ Kori whimpered as the noise grew louder; they all heard him.

~ Aiden!?~

~Oww…...you aren't much of a telepath, try next time –

~ No~! There won't be one. Dad is fighting the enemy and Verra and Ava…. Raku is not himself, but someone who's really a combination of energy. He looks like a hybrid of Haku in there, what's going on?? ~

~They merged?? Are you sure? ~ Kayu was amazed and shocked all the same. ~ The being there, give it the room to work. Tell it not to go after Ava, but release the humans here from their fates. Reduce the hold that this fake Hades has on them, see if he will listen. ~

~ What? How?? He's like…. berserker mode up there! And Vee is a dragon! ~

~ Can he do that? ~ Damian blinked at the fox of the clouds.

~Guessing by now, yes. He's allowed to this time. Which means we have to find them. We are here in Tokyo, and Ami still isn't back. Here powers were sealed so the kitsune are –

~No time. You need to come here soon before –

~HEY! Don't hurt her!! ~

Anna groaned. ~Before Aiden loses our connection and gives me hearing loss, like the rest of you…. I'm taking charge next time…oww…~

"Anna?? Ann –

"We broke from their link." Dami frowned. "Did you sense if they were close, dog?"

"I did, spoil sport. They are….in the heart of –
