"What the hell is that?" A furry dog boy asked. Everyone else seemed just as alarmed and terrified of the yokai. It appeared to be a flaming giant wagon wheel with a man's head in the center.

"It is a Wanyudo, a type of dangerous yokai", Miya answered, "We need to make sure it doesn't succeed in its attempt to invade".

"Well, what do we do?" A girl with three eyes asked. Everyone else was murmuring. "Should we attack?"

"I think we should", a being made out of green slime suggested. "There's only one of 'it'. Shouldn't be too hard".

"I think we should reason with it", Azula spoke up. "There is only one of 'it' like Slimy just said. Imagine if we just attack it, unless you know the most efficient methods to defeat it, it will retreat and return in numbers".

Gamma frowned, "What a dumb idea—"

"Think about it, when did the Yokai start becoming a threat? I'm guessing when the dimensional chaos started", Azula said logically. Everyone glanced at each other.

"You're smart", Rean complimented. Azula noticed everyone silently agreed with her, so they opened the gate and let her walk to the Yokai who stopped attacking. It rolled back and slightly turned to face her. It snarled. "Ah…you. You are not very bright, then again, you dimensional immigrants never were", It spoke in a much more ancient version of Japanese.

"I am aware you have a massive irritation with our community. As you have realized, we know nothing about this world, but I don't think you are powerful enough to battle all of us on your own", Azula stated. The yokai seemed to be even furious.

"Okay 'little girl', you wouldn't be stupid enough to come out here and speak to me. What is your game?"

"There is no game. I am helping Aragami".

The Wanyudo's gaze started to soften, "Gods…it's true, that Aragami did adopt you". Azula made an 'eh?' face.

"You care about him, don't you?"

"Yes, I do".

The Wanyudo smiled softly, "He speaks highly of you like a proud parent".

Azula cleared her throat, "As touching as that is, I need your help to take care of the ninja clan"

Inside the conference room

Kamen was following a shady man who he assumed was Shinobi Shaw. He hated to admit it but Azula was rightfully suspicious. As he followed close behind, he saw Shaw in the conference room.

"HOW DARE YOU!" An elderly man roared at Shaw in a fury. "Do you realize what you have done with fraternizing with one of our common enemies?"

Kamen kept listening as Shaw explained, "So what if I allied with The Shadow Empress? Technically, she is not a Yokai. And don't you old goats know that she can mind control our interdimensional minions?"

"Mind control?! What makes you think our ability to manipulate has stopped working?"

Shaw laughed with malicious mockery, "You doddering old fools. They don't know much about this world but they are not retarded idiots. One day, one of them will be bold enough to defy you. That could lead to a riot and an end to your…ninja clan legacy".

"Yamiko is one of our most powerful enemies Shaw! She cannot be trusted".

"Like I don't already know that. Then again, your mindset is as obsolete as the Blackberry cellphone. I will correctly complete the mission. Your opinions no longer matter", Shaw grinned.

"This is your plan? Side with that witch and convince us to work under you?"

"More like…make an opportunity, and allow her to strike".

The elderly man's eyes widened. "This is a trap!"

"Correct, and the prize is your demise", an otherworldly female voice spoke as thedark mist formed all over the room. The mist formed a feminine figure until it took the shape of a woman with long white hair, ablack crop top with detached elbow-length sleeves, and black torn leggings with pitch-black boots.

The elders pulled out their swords but Shadow Empress summoned a portal under them and they plummeted. The wails were replaced by growling and sounds of them being massacred by a demonic being.

"How satisfying to end those wrinkled mortals. As for you Shaw, I will reward you with this".

Kamen had to stop this but an arm was around his neck. "Let me deal with them. Now that you know the truth, you can go alert your friends".

Kamen did just that and Aragami teleported above for an advantage to strike Shaw. He needed to do this right. As he was swooping in, the sound of an explosion was so loud that it unintentionally made the two notice the ninja.

With a curse, he quickly teleported away from Shadow Empress's blast. "Aragami…how unpleasant that you barged into my affairs".

Shinobi Shaw made a run for it. Leaving Yamiko to deal with the ninja. Aragami scoffed. "So much for loyalty".

"Are you sure that's why he left?"

"…What are you planning?"

Yamiko smirked as she approached the ninja. "You should be more worried about me. Who knows what I might do to those immigrants that you turned against me?"

Kamen made it to the inter-dimensional students who were trying to keep the Yokai from successfully infiltrating the premises.

"Kamen! Where were you? That Azula girl was working for the Yokai all along", Rean explained.

"Traitorous witch!" Gamma snarled.

"Azula isn't the bad guy! It's Shaw!" Kamen breathed. Everyone was confused. "He already killed the elders and any other commander. The Shadow Witch made a deal with him to become powerful!

"What?!"

Kamen used his cards to enlarge and wrap around all of the students. "Kamen! What are you doing?!"

"I am siding with the real good guys", Kamen stated as he opened the doors, allowing the angry Yokai in. As they demolished the place, Azula came in and Kamen landed on the ground floor. "Shaw made a run for it. He's looking for some animal".

"Which direction did you see him run?"

"…I didn't see, Aragami told me to go and let you in with the Yokai".

Azula's pupils shrunk, "Don't tell me that—"

"He's fighting the Shadow Empress. I think he can handle her", Kamen reassured. Azula had a feeling of…worry.

"Untie your friends. All of you united can defeat her, Shaw is mine".


As Shinobi Shaw ran into the woods, he checked his key chain and chuckled, "That fox is mine". He took two steps but stopped at an incoming dagger almost hitting his arm. He turned around to find a shadowed figure running off.

"Ah…you defeated Yamiko already? I guess I underestimated you. You are no saint to be keeping the power of the fox all to yourself!" Shaw looked around.

Azula made a small grin. Shaw thinks she's an Aragami, which is helpful for stealth. Running from place to place, she threw another dagger. Her fire-bending would've been more useful.

Shaw was baffled. He didn't understand why there were warning shots instead ofjust striking him. He pulled out his sword and spun around with it. His sword was a light essence that sliced all the trees around him. As they started to fall from the cut, Azula struck him on his back. He groaned in pain. Azula leaped onto him and was about to strike when Shaw jumped back and made sure Azula hit the ground. She choked out spit from the impact. Shaw quickly stood up and held out his sword to strike the girl.

"You little brat!" He said as he struck his sword at her, but she dodged in time. She stood up and held out her staff. Shaw just cackled. "You think you can beat me with that? You are powerless aren't you?"

Azula charged and made a few strikes, unfortunately, Shaw had sliced her staff in half. He then tried to slice her body but she dodged. Then he quickly struck her swiftly. "You were brave to confront me, but you were also foolish. This should treat your kind a lesson".

Azula formed tears and grunted after Shaw retracted his blade and kicked her to the ground. She was choking out blood then her eyes closed. She couldn't reopen her eyes for a while.

As Shaw took off, Aragami teleported in but saw Azula on the ground with a stab wound on her back.

"AZULA! No…no, no!" He cried as he turned her body around and lifted her head up. "Stay with me, don't die. Don't die!"
