Chapter 12: Empty Words, Imprisoned Light
So last chapter was something and I thank you guys for reading this so I hope your ready to see what's coming in store soon. So what will happen in this chapter. Also major shoutout to ShadowArchangel615 this person helped me write out the gore parts for this chapter, go check him out. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO......I'M RUNNING TOWARDS THE DARKNESS LET'S DO THIS SH*T!
Kaisei's POV (Secret hideout)
I was hiding with my wife in a secret hideout guarded by shinobis, we hoped that the incident with the shinobis turning into yomas would be over soon that way we can see our son Lucian again. I was looking over old letters that my friend Hanzo has sent us.
Kaisei: Well it's good to see that he's doing well.
Mikata: Yes it is but...I'm getting an uneasy feeling that something terrible is about to happen to our son.
After that we heard a lot of noise and screaming coming from the outside it was then a shinobi appeared.
Shinobi: Don't go outside they're coming!
Kaisei: What's going on?
Mikata: I sense yomas no wait humans...is this what Hanzo was talking about the humanoid yomas?
Kaisei: If it is then we'll beat them down.
We went outside and saw lots of bodies but most of them were dead. The bodies look like they were consumed by something it was then we heard an unearthly sound. We then turned around and saw the things Hanzo mentioned before.
Humanoid-yoma: Grigh...tus...gresh!
Mikata: Oh my goodness those human souls I can sense immense amount of hatred and malice coming from them.
Kaisei: I'll dispatch them, you restore them to their former selves.
Mikata: Right
I used my darkness affinity to slip into my own shadow and quickly dispatched of them.
Kaisei: That's taken care of Mikata your turn.
Mikata: Right!
She used her light affinity to heal them and restore them of their humanity.
Mikata: Are you okay what happened?
Shinobi: We were sent out on a mission then a blonde haired woman came with a red haired girl and...I was beaten easily by them.
Kaisei: A woman with blonde hair and a girl with red hair...I see what else can you remember.
Shinobi: All I remember is-
Out of nowhere an explosive kunai hit the converted shinobi and blew him up.
Kaisei: What the?!
Mikata: No! Who did that?!
???: Hehehe it was I.
A shinobi wearing a clown like attire appeared before us.
Mikata: Who are you?
???: I am known as Jester, how do you do my young audience?
Kaisei: Why're you here?
Jester: Ahahaha that is to be answered my young audience because the show has just begun. First is the plan of luring the team out and the headmaster will soon get her prize. Then after that!
I saw him explode into confetti and streamers and reappear in a new location.
Jester: It is the commencement of a grand show and as for the finale that will have to wait my young audience no good to spoil the show now! Until next time adieu hehehehe!
After that he exploded into confetti and streamers again.
Mikata: We have to go back something may have happened to our son!
Kaisei: Agreed we have to go back. That bad feeling I've been getting isn't settling down we have to return.
We packed our bags and set off to Hanzo Academy.
Lucian's POV
I saw a woman with long blonde hair, piercing red eyes along with a black and white outfit with a red tie.
Lucian: (This feeling I'm getting from her, something tells me we may not get out of this alive, and these impulses of mine won't stop either they're going haywire.) Who are you?
???: Ah you desire to know my name don't you? Well I won't say anything unless you beat me, if you beat me then I'll gladly surrender, and release the summoning of the yomas. Although question is can you really keep up when you're surrounded? (Hm? Looks like Hanzo must've found a way to restrain the dark influence of this boy, but it's not going to be enough for what is going to happen soon.)
We looked around and saw that she was right all of us were surrounded by a large amount of yoma, They began to growl, and bare their fangs however they weren't attacking just staying still.
Asuka: There's too many of them.
Katsuragi: We'll just take all of them down, after all we've been training real hard for this!
Ikaruga: She's right. We'll use our techniques in order to defeat them all.
Yagyu: Hibari stay behind me.
Hibari: Okay Yagyu.
Lucian: Hibari what are you doing?! You have to fight!
???: Already I can point out the weakest and pathetic one of the group, that would be Hibari immediately and the girl defending her is her "guardian" in the shinobi world there is no guardian to defend you if you honestly think there is then there's no point in being a shinobi you're just a bother to everyone else around you. At least three of you show some skill if I could call it that, and there's always that one that stands out above the rest. You Lucian have a lot of skill, yet your potential is locked and you could never harness it.
Lucian: Hey! I do have potential, and I'll show you I can truly harness it.
Katsuragi: You tell her Lucian!
Ikaruga: You're right all this time you've done nothing but show us how to be strong and we thank you for that.
Asuka: Mmhm. We're your friends no matter what.
Yagyu: She's right so don't hold anything back on her.
Hibari: Go Lucian!
???: Hehehe....pfft...hahahahahaha! Oh my how cute Lucian that these girls are your friends, but tell me can you really call them that? After all I know a lot about you more, than you know yourself especially with those two affinities.
Lucian: ? (What two affinities?)
Hanzo Girls: (She knows?!)
???: But for now, I think that's enough talk for now don't you?
Lucian: Get ready girls, this is a life or death battle.
She snapped her fingers and the yomas began to attack us, we attacked with everything that we had but it seemed endless and she was watching us the whole time, observing what we're doing. Every attack we did she seemed to grin mischievously at us, however I noticed with Hibari and Yagyu she gave them a mocking smile, for Asuka and Katsuragi she grinned mischievously lastly remains Ikaruga and I in which she began to smirk as if to show that she's interested in us and that smirk of hers was putting my alarm senses into overdrive and it didn't help that these impulses kept getting stronger the more I killed the yomas, the more I wanted to kill, I wanted to see more bloodshed, I wanted to feel the thrill of killing something. These impulses began to feel a lot worse than before.
Lucian Darkness: I can feel it, so clearly this thrill, this excitement! MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE!!!
Lucian: Grr...(This feeling it keeps getting stronger and stronger.)
???: (Hoho His right eye has turned red, looks like the darkness is starting to seep through even with whatever it is Hanzo did to him. Well time to test his strength) All right then I think that's enough entertainment for now.
With a handsign she released the yoma leaving just us and her.
Lucian: *gulp* (This woman is way out of our league, we would need someone like Kiriya, or Hanzo to help us. By ourselves even as a team we stand zero chance now what....maybe questioning her might be good for now.) Who are you and why did you do all of this? Many people lost their lives thanks to you!
???: Oh I'm sorry I didn't know that trash even had any lives. Besides I can tell something inside you desires more power, you need strength in order to overcome countless obstacles isn't that right? By far you show the most promise throughout all of them surviving the torture at Hebijo Academy, your encounter with your so called friends. Especially that girl who is fighting beside you, she used darkness at one point in order to save you.
Lucian & Ikaruga: !
Ikaruga: (How does she know about that?!)
Lucian: Look I don't know who you are but you're going to stop all of this and we'll turn you in for judgment by the shinobi council.
???: My, my I'm so scared please go easy on me.
Lucian: Grr....(These impulses are getting outta hand...why? This impulse to kill is affecting my mind.) All right girls let's show her what we can do!
Girls: Right
???: Oh my, if you're ready to fight then I would be happy to oblige.
She then got down from the tree and she taunted us by waving her hand as if saying. "Come on show me what you can do." After that Hibari summoned a rabbit and charged it with electricity to run her over only for a vine to appear and smack her away into a tree. Yagyu appeared behind her to catch Hibari but another vine grabbed her leg and slammed her into the tree beside her.
Yagyu: Agh!
Hibari: Yagyu!
Katsuragi: Take this Cross Panzer!!!
???: Too predictable.
Katsuragi: What?!
She tried to deliver an axe chop kick in which she grabbed her leg and spun her around making her slam into a tree.
Katsuragi: Ungh! (She's strong, if she's able to grab my leg that was charged with a lot of power.
Asuka: Katsuragi! All right take this. Ninja Art: Dual Slash
She rushed at her with her swords but jumped over her making her attack miss.
???: A simple charging technique really? I expected a lot more from the granddaughter of the great Hanzo himself. A dissapoinment really.
Asuka: Rgh! I may be his granddaughter but I'm not him, because I'm me!
???: Right...keep telling yourself that when you have the title of being the granddaughter of the famous shinobi.
Asuka:...
Lucian: Asuka don't be deceived! You're you nothing more, nothing less. So keep going down your own shinobi path till the end got it!
Asuka:...Thank you Lucian. Now take this! Ninja Art: Hanzo-Style Full Bloom
Asuka swords began to glow with a green aura and started to slice her way at her but she dodged every single one and delivered a kick to send her back.
???: Really disappointing, I expected something more.
Ikaruga: How's this Oukaensen!
She then threw a phoenix shaped fireball at her which hit her but to her it felt like it didn't do any damage.
???: Not as powerful as when you used it on the Hebijo girls. In fact you don't have the dark power boost now don't you? Why not unleash that fury that you used on the Hebijo girls unless nothing is here to trigger your rage.
Ikaruga: Rgh shut up! Haah!
Lucian: Ikaruga wait!
She went up to her to deliver one of her attacks.
Ikaruga: Hien Hosen: Mode One.
She sliced her a couple of times and sheathed her sword in which it made tons of slices around her but like her previous attack it felt like she did no damage.
???: So were you trying to cool me down or attack something cause if you were then that was by far pitiful.
She then kicked her away a to leave a some distance between her and Ikaruga.
Lucian: All right now you deal with me!
???: Oh my please do! Show me everything that you got.
I then used my wind manipulation to create an aura to make it easier to predict her moves. I then charged at her grabbing two kunais from my weapon pouch one charged with electricity and the other with fire. I tried to slice her with the electric one in hopes of paralyzing her or slowing her movements but a vine got in the way and I sliced right through it.
???: Wow your power really is impressive to slice through that vine. It can't be sliced that easily even if you have it's weakness you would have to be really strong to slice through it. This should be interesting.
Lucian: Rrgh! (Kill! Kill! Kill! These impulses they're getting stronger and stronger why?)
I then charged at her and she got a sword ready we then clashed leaving behind a sound of metal clashing together she then charged at me quickly to which it left me surprised and we both kept clashing move for move. We ran around trying to get the upper hand but it was all for nothing both of us kept clashing weapons one strike after another until both of us decided to kick each other back giving us some distance.
Asuka's POV
I kept watching the whole scene and I was amazed at how Lucian was actually matching her in speed, and power and when I saw how those two battled it was nothing like I've ever seen before two shinobis fighting seriously one trying to overpower the other it was truly astounding.
Asuka: He's keeping up with her I can't believe it.
Katsuragi: Yeah and those two are evenly matched they're not giving each other any ground.
Ikaruga: It's like they're battling a reflection of themselves one movement contradicts the other.
Yagyu: We have to provide support if we join with him we'll only be in the way we'll attack long distance to give him an advantage.
Hibari: Something is wrong with Lucian.
Asuka: What do you mean Hibari?
Hibari: He's acting like himself yet at the same time he's not. His mind is being split apart by two forces one is trying to overpower the other we have to save him.
Ikaruga: And we will by helping him in this fight.
We went into different trees in the forest and made ourselves scarce while Lucian was fighting her. We needed to hide in order to take her by suprise and I was still amazed in how he's keeping up with her but what he said next really shocked me.
Lucian's POV
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
This will feel kinda similar to the Qrow vs Tyrian fight and also forgot to mention this song fricking rules!!! Uncle Qrow needs that hug T_T.
I kept clashing with her move for move none of us were going to give each other any high ground in order to win. That was when I noticed something she was holding back I sensed something within her, something sinister, something inhumane it steps more into the boundary of demonic.
Lucian: (This is suicidal but if we somehow live through this, then we may come up with a way to beat her...but it's too risky....yet at the same time I have no choice if I want to get more info on her, since she knows a lot about us. Well...here goes nothing.) So what's the holdup? Why're you hiding your real power?
???: So you can tell I was holding back. Impressive taunt but I don't think I'll tell you since of course if you survive this ordeal, then you can come up with a way to counter it so I'll keep it a secret.
Lucian: (Well that was wasted.)
I grabbed my shuriken and kunais to throw at her but a vine protected her knocked everything else away until I sliced through it and she guarded my strike with her sword.
???: Fufufu I know that you're holding it back but...it's slowly starting to manifest itself quite well. But for now let's see what you can really do!
I felt something behind me, and I quickly turned around to see a spiked vine aiming for my back and judging by how it looks it may be able to go right through a human body. But that was just a diversion since she took my weapon pouch, kicked me and made a vine appear to grab my leg and slam me into a near tree.
Lucian: Argh! Dammit! Why...you!!!
I felt so much anger flow through me, and the only impulses were almost beyond my control she began to approach and pulled me closer to her and whispered in my ear
???: Such a dark fire in your eyes you wish for my death don't you?
Lucian: Rgh!
I tried to punch her but she punched me in the stomach knocking the breath out of me. In which I winced, she then pushed me back into the tree and placed her foot on my chest.
???: Fufufu Is this really all you had, I must say I'm quite dissapointed. What could you possibly do in order to change things into your favor. Hm?
She then tilted her head to the right as a kunai sliced a bit of her blonde hair. She looked behind her as to see a lot more kunai's, shurikens, and what looked to be ink kunais coming she then summoned two vines in order to deflect them all and I could feel something within me rage, and anger was fueling me. I never felt this much power before but I needed it in order to win this fight. So as her back was turned facing the kunais, shurikens and the ink kunais. I channeled my fire affinity into my left fist and lightning on my right. She then faced me in which immediately I punched her in the face making direct contact with her.
???: Argh!!! (Okay that hurt and burns a lot! I definitely felt that one)
I then kept punching her in the face finally kicking her back while taking back my weapon pouch. She had her face covered but summoned a vine to slap anyone who was near away. When the vine returned into the ground I immediately started to attack in which she had to guard most of my strikes, until three of my attacks connected.
???: Rgh...(I can't believe it, he's really gaining a higher advantage over me even though I'm holding back. Fufufu this has gotten a lot more amusing.)
I rushed at her but she quickly lied down and used her feet to kick me into the air, in which I backflipped into a branch of a tree.
???: Abandoning the fight?
Lucian: You wish
She jumped after me and was about to deliver a punch to me but I used my lightning and wind affinity to protect myself.
Lucian: (Lightning Release: Spark Barrier! followed up by Wind Release: Gust Dispersion!)
???: Argh! (He's good! He's making this fight go into his pace of battle, and doing tremendously well and all by himself too. He's definitely their child. But he still leaves a bit of openings like this!)
She got hit with the barrier and I managed to push her off and make her fall but when I tried to jump off the branch to get me some more distance she used a vine to grab my leg and pull me down with her. As we both fell she slammed me onto the ground she quickly got back up and lifted me up using the same vine and started to punch and kick me until I was pushed back.
Lucian: (Grr....I'm getting super pissed off right now! Come on I need more strength to beat her!)
Ikaruga's POV
I saw everything that had happened and it looked like Lucian was winning this fight but she used a vine to grab him, and now we can't see what was going on behind the trees.
Ikaruga: We have to help him! No matter if we're injured.
Katsuragi: Yeah but I gotta hand it to her she's powerful.
Asuka: You're right about that...but...*shaking*
Yagyu: Asuka I know that this fight will result in life or death but now this is no time to be scared we have to help him!
Hibari: Mmhm he's done this much for us so we have to help.
As we were going to help we saw a couple of trees being broken and I saw Lucian being pushed back and get slammed into a tree, however his face was bloody and he looked enraged I saw that his right hand had a kunai and began to charge itself with electricity. We then saw her rush at him with her sword in which we knew she was going to kill him Asuka and Hibari quickly used their ninja art to rush in and block the attack, and we quickly rushed towards Lucian to back him up.
???: You know you girls should know that at this point of the fight is none of your business now right?
Asuka: This is our fight! We're a team and we'll always be one.
???: Hehehe I wonder how long you'll be able to hold onto those words.
Lucian: Hah...hah...get out of here! This isn't your fight anymore! She's beyond your league plus you saw what happened when you used your ninja arts right?!
Katsuragi: Sure she maybe strong but so what I live for tough battles!
Lucian: No listen this isn't a game just get out of this fight and go long range support!
Hibari: Sorry Lucian but we're friends and we're not going to abandon you.
Ikaruga: She's right we're your friends and we'll always be!
???: Such a disgusting sight.
She quickly rushed at all of us and summoned multiple vines to attack us while she was aiming straight for Lucian.
Ikaruga: No! Lucian!
I quickly rushed to intercept the attack but Lucian got up on his own and charged at her.
Lucian: ! Rrgh! Dammit all!!!
I saw the kunai in his right hand overflow with electricity and he rushed at her this time he was twice as fast than he was before, and the look I saw in his face was out of pure hatred, his face looked as if he wanted to kill her, and that's when I saw it she stabbed Lucian in the heart.
Girls: Lucian!
???: You lose.
Lucian: You wish!
After that his body became a log.
???: What the?! A substitution?!
Lucian: Raaaagh!!!!
I saw him rush at her from the bushes and stab her in the stomach and just kept rushing towards the trees crashing through every single one of them making her take all of the damage.
Hibari: He's not being himself anymore! He's being controlled.
Ikaruga: What? I thought Hanzo sealed off Amnael's influence?!
Asuka: We have to stop him from doing something he'll regret!
Yagyu: Let's go after him
Katsuragi: I can't believe that he has this much strength look at the scorch marks of when he hit and made her crash through the trees.
Lucian's POV
I never felt so much power before it felt more than enough to finally beat her, and I kept crashing through more trees to make her feel more pain. I kept hearing a voice in my head but I was too focused on the battle.
???: (Hehehe...that's it Lucian...let the impulses be your guide and you'll win for sure. Kill the people who you hate, make them suffer for what they did!!!)
Lucian: (KILL!)
After putting all of my strength into my right arm I pushed her fiercely onto a tree where the lightning was still in effect and I backflipped using both my fire and wind affinities.
Lucian: (Fire Release: Fire Stream Bullet! Wind Release: Vortex Blade Formation!)
I channeled my fire affinity to launch fireballs at her and gathered wind in my index and middle finger to create a wind sword and when the fireballs hit her she was in flames with the lightning still going on and I sliced her with my wind sword.
Lucian: IT'S OVER!!!
???: KYAHH!!! (This power, yes he's perfect! His darkness is beyond that of his fathers he harbors hatred for his own teammates now it's time to set things in motion. But first a deceiving tactic.)
After that the fight was over, I sat back exhaustedly and the rest of the girls caught up.
Ikaruga: Lucian!
Lucian: Huff...puff...I did it...I...won!
Hibari: She's still breathing somewhat
Asuka: (At least he didn't go off the deep end.)
Katsuragi: That was awesome you totally defeated her!
Yagyu: Now we can bring her back to Hanzo for questioning.
???: Not a bad idea...but sadly won't work I'm afraid.
Girls and Lucian: !
We saw her on top of the tree but the damage she sustained was still there, meaning that all those are attacks she truly felt on her including that stab wound on her stomach from my kunai.
Lucian: No way?! Even after...all of that how...could you still be moving?!
???: I must admit Lucian even I'm surprised at your development you exceed my expectations a lot than I thought you would. But it's being held back by your so called "friends."
Lucian: What's that supposed to mean?
???: Why don't I show you!
Hibari: Kyah! Ow!
I heard Hibari scream from behind me and she was slammed onto the tree with a vine that had thorns on them.
Asuka, Katsuragi, Ikaruga, Yagyu, and Lucian: Hibari!
???: I mustn't forget about you as well.
Lucian: Gah! Hey let me go!!!
A vine wrapped itself around my waist and I was brought to her and she held the collar of my shirt.
Lucian: Grr let me go!!!
???: Such impressive display of anger. (And the girls haven't noticed that his eyes changed color from brown to red.)
Asuka: Let Lucian and Hibari go!
???: You are in no position to be making demands! This time I'm the one making the demands. Here's where it gets interesting you decide their fates. and how fitting that must be. So much for your so called "friends." Think of all the time you spent together having fun and playing shinobi when this is what reality throws at you. Now all of you make a decision and everyone has to agree on the same person if one person says Lucian while the other three say Hibari then both lives are forfeited also if you dare try to move from your spots or attack me both lives are forfeited as well, you have ten seconds. Ten
Asuka, Katsuragi, Ikaruga, and Yagyu: !
Katsuragi: Rrgh! This is bad
???: Nine
Asuka: Which do we choose to save?
???: Eight
Ikaruga: We have to save him!
Hibari: !
Lucian: !
???: Seven
Hibari: Ow! It's hurting me! I feel like I'm being crushed!!!
Yagyu: Hibari!!! I choose Hibari!
Asuka, Katsuragi, Ikaruga: Yagyu!!!
???: Six
Yagyu: She's in pain I have to save her!
Katsuragi: Oh man this is bad, you do realize we're going to be responsible for a person's death?!
???: Five
Hibari: Asuka, Katsuragi, Ikaruga Help me! It's crushing me.
Asuka: Hibari!....I choose Hibari.
Lucian: As..u..ka
???: Four
Katsuragi: I'm sorry Lucian but I'm going with Hibari
Lucian: Katsu..ragi..
???: Three
Ikaruga:....I-I-I don't know who to choose?!
Yagyu: That's simple pick Hibari she's being crushed to death by this woman!
Ikaruga: But Lucian is...
???: Two
Asuka: We have to save Hibari.
???: One second until both forfeit their lives.
Ikaruga: I pick Hibari....(I'm sorry Lucian, I'm so so sorry! Please forgive us.)
Lucian: (They picked her...over...me...she's right....I don't have friends...I...don't...mean anything to them. Asuka, Katsuragi, Yagyu, Hibari, and Ikaruga...I hate you all. I wish I never met any of you.)
???: Fufufufu Then it's decided. Hibari is spared while Lucian dies also here's something to prevent you from doing a rescue attempt.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
Vines sprouted and began to wrap themselves around their legs.
Katsuragi: Hey what's the big idea?!
???: I just want you to witness this moment. Say farewell to your friend. (Now to use this, and have him submit to me.)
She grabbed a kunai and I heard some sort of mumbling from her and the kunai she had was glowing a blue fire, and she placed it on the right side of my chest.
Ikaruga's POV
I picked Hibari and I saw her slowly raise Lucian to where she was at her height and she grabbed a kunai. I prepared myself for the worst of what's to come. The kunai in her hand had a blue fire surrounding it, and she stabbed him in the right side of his chest.
Lucian: AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Ikaruga: (Lucian I'm sorry for this.)
Asuka: (Lucian I'm really sorry please forgive us!)
Katsuragi: (Please forgive us Lucian!)
Yagyu: (I'm...sorry...Lucian.)
Hibari: (I'm sorry Lucian...I really am sorry for what I did.)
I saw her carve out some sort of sign on his chest and he was still screaming in pain. After she was done with that he stopped screaming and she tossed him aside from the branch she was on and I saw him falling, and I knew there was no way he was going to survive that fall. I could only watch as he plummets to the ground and could only wait for his demise. He crashed onto the ground and I felt the vines loosen around us seeing as how we're all free. We quickly rushed in to see him but what I found shocking was that he survived the long fall he was breathing heavily while clutching his chest in pain.
???: Fufufu this boy truly is amazing. I look forward to the day we meet again.
Asuka: There's no way that we'll ever meet again, so just go!
Ikaruga: Wait who are you?!
???: My name is Sylvia and he and I will meet again, he will finally know what he's truly fighting for. Also you will have to defeat the shinobis that serve me in hopes of escaping the minute you entered this forest you were caught in my trap and now you will pay the price. Until we meet again Hanzo girls fufufu. After that she dissapeared.
Ikaruga: Sylvia....
Katsuragi: All right Lucian come on we have to get back to Hanzo to get you treat OW!
I looked behind me and saw a barrier form around him preventing any of us to approach and help him.
Asuka: We can't get past this barrier otherwise we'll be shocked.
Katsuragi: I'll try to see if we can contact Hanzo and Kiriya-sensei.
I saw Katsuragi dash off into the forest only to return here five minutes later.
Yagyu: I thought you said you were going to get help?
Katsuragi I did I just kept going north and somehow I'm back here.
Hibari: Remember what she said? She said that the minute we entered this forest we were in her trap so have to beat the shinobis that serve her. But where are they?
-----music ends
------Meanwhile in another part of the forest. Shun's POV
Sylvia: So I'll leave it to you three understood Gerardo, Grendel, and Shun.
She was talking to three shinobi Gerardo, Grendel, and Shun.
Grendel is a large, bald and brutish man, he wears armor around him and his motives is to fulfill his carnal instincts whether it be to devour the flesh and bones of others, or satisfy his lust by subjecting women into his bidding. His weapon is a giant flail with an iron ball attached to a chain.
Shun is a thin man wearing a mask on his face giving him more of an appearance of an owl, and carries a nodachi with him.
Grendel: Gehehehe understood headmaster! Gehehehe I can't wait to break those busty girls and have fun with their bodies after I'm done with them they'll be my next meal.
Gerardo: Grendel control yourself we have a mission to do save it for the end.
Shun:...Understood. Anything else?
Sylvia: No just beat them down, and kill the boy in the team. Also take this Shun, it's a record scroll which is used to record the events of the day. When beginning the fight open it up, and the scroll will come to me and I can what will be the next plan of attack.
Shun: Understood.
Sylvia: Mission start!
After she said that all three of us left and went in search for them. It took awhile but we finally found them and already Grendel couldn't keep himself in control.
Grendel: Wow look at their bodies they're perfect, after we beat them I can't wait to stick it inside of them and just help myself to all of their beauty.
Gerardo: Stay away from the pinkette she's mine.
Grendel: You wish she looks cute like a rabbit and I can't wait to have my fun with her.
Gerardo: You will do no such thing to her!
Shun: *sigh* Will you two idiots shut up and focus? Gerardo you can have the pinkette I don't care, Grendel do as you please with the girls I really don't care, how or what you do with them just focus on the mission both of you got it!
Gerardo and Grendel: Got it!
Shun: Now get ready Shinobi Transformation.
Gerardo and Grendel: Shinobi Transformation.
Asuka POV
We decided to stick together and protect Lucian. We looked around and nothing was happening the silence was unbearable except for Lucian's heavy breathing in which worried us a lot and the mark that he received from Sylvia was spilling out blood and we can't do anything to help he'll eventually bleed out and die.
Hibari: Ah! I sense them!
Katsuragi: All right come out that way we can kick your ass.
I saw that a large man covered in armor appeared carrying an iron ball with a chain flail, next was a boy that looked about our age he wore a white vest and black jeans with some black angel wings along with a mask of a raven. The next wore a mask of an owl as well as having a suit of samurai armor on him with a nodachi.
Asuka: Are you the ones we have to defeat?
Shun: Indeed we are, Grendel you know what to do.
I saw the man with the mask of an owl open up a scroll and it dissapeared.
Grendel: Gehehehehe you know it.
I saw that he swung the iron ball and tried to hit us but we ducked out of the way but Lucian got hit with the attack and we saw him getting blown back by the attack. He then used the chain to wrap Yagyu's leg and slammed her into the ground knocking her out.
Grendel: One down!
Katsuragi, Ikaruga, and I decided to team up against the large man named Grendel, while Hibari took Yagyu to safety. We used our ninja arts but we were intercepted by the other two.
Gerardo: Strings of Egliette!
Ikaruga: What the?! I'm stuck?!
Katsuragi: Why can't I move?!
Asuka: Ninja Art: Dual Slash!
Shun: Blade Wind Blast.
I was pushed back by his nodachi enveloped in a green veil he pulled out a seal tag and made it land on Lucian. I then saw what looked like lightning disappear from his body making him vulnerable to all attacks. We had to get him out of there seeing as we can now rescue him but as soon as I tried to help him a fireball stood in my way from the man with the mask of an owl. I then saw Grendel using his flail and the chain wrapped itself on Hibari's leg and brought her closer to him.
Grendel: Gehehehe this girl looks fun to mess around.
Gerardo: (Dammit Grendel!) Remember what I said about the girl!
Grendel: Hmph you can take one of them I only want this one. Also girl it's no use if you use your ninja arts this chain seals off an oppenent's ninja art and renders it useless. So time for me to have my fun!
Hibari: Eeek!
Gerardo: (I'm so going to kill you when this is over!)
I saw him licking her cheek while Hibari was scared out of her mind, she soon began to cry. I then saw the man with the owl mask rush towards Lucian and he had his sword surrounded in a veil of fire and try to slice through Lucian I quickly rushed over to intercept it only to be pulled back by some force.
Gerardo: I don't think so. Now Shun end it!
Shun: Right!
Katsuragi: Dammit let us go!
Ikaruga: No Lucian!
Asuka: (This time he really is going to die.)
I looked away and didn't want to see what was going to happen next. That was when I heard Shun say something that I opened my eyes and I felt the air around me getting heavy, and this presence it felt terrifying and it overwhelmed me and I looked at the rest of the girls even they felt it. However we looked around seeing what made this heavy pressure and I saw something glow from Lucian it was the same mark he received from Sylvia.
Shun: ! What the?! (The air is getting a lot heavier what's going on? What the something is glowing from his chest.)
I then saw Lucian slowly rise up and the mark was glowing on his chest.
Asuka: Lucian! You're awake.
Ikaruga: Thank goodness you're safe! *gasp*
Katsuragi: All right now we're talking team Hanzo back together again! (What the! What is this overwhelming surge of power!)
Hibari: ! (He feels completely different than before, I can sense a dark aura emanating from him.)
Lucian:....K...i...l...l
Lucian's POV (Within his mind in the foyer of the abandoned school, before the fight with the Hanzo girls and Shun's group.)
Lucian: I knew it...they...abandoned me they care more for her...than...they do about me...I...I have no one...my kittens are about to die, those girls betrayed me like the rest. I really am alone...maybe it would be best if I dissapeared forever.
???: Now, now you don't mean that.
Lucian: Hm? Who are you?
From what I saw was a red spirit it had no form it looked like a fire used for lighting a candle.
Lucian's Darkness: What am I? Well good question I don't know myself to be honest I could be someone you know or someone you don't it depends on how you perceive it, but anyways don't kill yourself there's still so much left to be done my young friend.
Lucian: Friend? I don't have any...not anymore.
Lucian's Darkness: Ah but that is where you are wrong my young friend! Your friend is me, and the other friend is you so you're never alone you have me and I can help you through this. If you want to push past the pain then follow me.

(A/n): Finally Corpse Party music I know.
I followed the red spirit walking past the abandoned classrooms and I started to wonder what happened here this place looks run down, abandoned I caught a whiff of something truly disgusting it stinked like a rotting corpse. After a couple of seconds the scent went away.
Lucian: Hey do you smell something odd?
Lucian's Darkness: No not really why?
Lucian: It's just that this place got a really bad smell all of a sudden, but now it's gone. This place definitely feels familiar but I can't remember what happened and why this place feels familiar to me. I've never been to an abandoned school before yet it feels really familiar to me don't you find it strange?
Lucian's Darkness: Strange?! Why yes indeed. But who knows this is your mind maybe something traumatizing happened and it made you create this place.
Lucian:...I can't remember anything that was traumatic that made me create this place yet it feels so familiar.
Lucian's Darkness: (That's cause I've sealed off your memories of all the trauma caused within the school when you were still growing up before becoming a shinobi. You may forget the memories but your body remembers clearly.) Well I may not know why you feel so familiar with this place but I can guarantee you that we may learn something from this.
Lucian: You think so?
Lucian's Darkness: I know so.
As we continued to venture within the abandoned I looked outside and saw a forest that seemed to stretch out for miles, I opened the window to let the fresh breeze in since it was feeling kinda warm in here.
Lucian's Darkness: Feeling warm?
Lucian: Yeah I do and I'm surprised this window is still kept in place despite this place being run down.
Lucian's Darkness: (Soon and very soon your body is mine to control!)
Lucian: Hey lets go downstairs I feel like there is something there.
Lucian's Darkness: Very well then. (That's it follow your heart it will be the place where you truly belong.)
We went downstairs and encountered a big mirror with a heart shaped symbol with angelic wings in the middle as we got closer there was only my reflection.
Lucian: This mirror doesn't show your reflection why is that?
Lucian's Darkness: Don't know but it's best to investigate.
As we got closer we looked around but nothing else happened. I felt like something was calling out to me from the mirror so I went closer to it, and touched it after that I went unconscious.
Lucian's Darkness: Finally he's within the mirror and this power I'm feeling from this mark that the woman gave me is incredible. I can feel myself getting in full control of his body. Hehehe oh yeah this'll be fun! TIME TO CAUSE HELL!!!
------Outside of his mind Lucian awakens Lucian's POV
Asuka: Lucian! You're awake.
Ikaruga: Thank goodness you're safe!
Katsuragi: All right now we're talking team Hanzo back together again!
Hibari: ! (He feels completely different than before, I can sense a dark aura emanating from him.)
Lucian:....K...i...l...l
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
Grendel: Looks like a dead man is still walking just stay down and die!
I glared at them, I felt incredible a new power is burning within me and it's telling me exactly what I like to do kill all that stand in my way.
Gerardo: Shun what're you waiting for kill him!
Shun: (This power! What sort of monstrous pressure I'm feeling from him.)
Grendel: DIE!!!
I saw that the large man slammed Hibari into a tree effectively knocking her out, and he ran at me and was about to swing at me with the iron ball at high speeds ready to knock my head off but I punched it causing it to knock his head making him tumble to the ground. I then grabbed him by the neck and I felt something cold within my right hand and realized it was ice, I was ready to impale him when I made an ice spear from my fist but something held me back.
Gerardo: Grendel are you alright?!
Grendel: Rrgh! Damned corpse I'll kill you and consume your flesh and bones!
He then rushed at me even though I was stuck I was able to do a new technique thanks to the power of the mark. I then shot a flamethrower from my mouth to incinerate my oppenent but I was surprised when he was frozen solid. I looked around at my arms and noticed wires were attached to me constricting me of my movements and looked back to notice the shinobi wearing the mask of a raven controlling the strings.
Lucian: Hehehe keeping me binded won't change anything.
I then used my lightning affinity to send a current from my body to his fingers in which he got shocked I rushed over to him giving him multiple punches and kicking him off to make him slam into a tree. With that the girls bindings from the strings were released.
Katsuragi: Thanks for the save Lucian.
Lucian:....
Hibari: Are you yourself Lucian?
Ikaruga: Lucian what's happened to you?
Lucian: Shut up, it's none of your business after all you don't care about me so why should I even bother answering you. (Plus I'm having way too much fun now to end it.)
I quickly rushed towards the boy who uses strings to fight and quickly got on top of him while punching his face effectively breaking off the mask and what I guessed was right on the mark. That street performer was a shinobi.
Hibari: Eeeh?! Gerardo? What're you doing here?!
Lucian: What does it look like you dumbass? He's a shinobi sent here to kill us, so I think it's fitting if I did this!
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
(A/n): This music fits so well here
I grabbed a kunai with my right hand and I could see a ice-veil surrounding it. I then proceeded to stab him in the middle of the chest while he screamed in agony and blood was spurting out from the spot where I stabbed him. His shinobi outfit being stained with his blood as he screamed out in pain.
Gerardo: AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!! IT HURTS!
Hibari: Gerardo!
Asuka: Katsuragi, Ikaruga: !
Gerardo: AAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Lucian: Not yet, you're suffering's not over yet!
I pulled down the kunai fiercely and ripped open his chest thanks to my newfound strength and I saw everything intestines, blood was spilling and Gerardo was just moving spastically on the ground it looked like he was going to sleep so I dropped the kunai in my right hand and grabbed his intestines and charged it with lightning all the way I relished in his screams of pain, agony and terror, I also relished the fact that he will be trapped within my mind that way I can do as I please.
Hibari: No Lucian stop doing this!
Katsuragi: Lucian stop!
Asuka: Don't do this Lucian!
Ikaruga: Lucian please stop!
I looked quickly at the girls and they stood there frightened of what I did and I loved their scared faces it made me remember of all the things I took pleasure in when I was the one torturing them after putting me through their hell. This will be an unforgettable experience.
I looked over and saw the male shinobi free the one encased in ice, and just looked at me.
Shun: What are you?!
Lucian: Hehehe wouldn't you like to know hehehe.
Grendel: I'll kill you!
Shun: No Grendel! Stay back
But it was too late he then rushed at me again and this time I had a little surprise waiting for him, he tried to swing at me with his iron ball flail but I pushed it aside and opened my hand making a small amount of ice and lightning and slammed my palm on his stomach.
Grendel: Why you?!
Lucian: Die.
From the small amount of ice and lightning in my palm it became a spear that tore right through him. I then used my hands to make a handsign and all I did was watch while the spear of lightning and ice went in different directions piercing every part of his body and before me now lies an armored corpse.
Lucian: Looks like you're the one left!
Shun: ! *shaking in fear*
Asuka: No stop this!
Lucian: Huh? Now you're letting enemies escape?! Get out of the way Asuka or do you want to be next?
Asuka: Lucian come on, please just stop this...look at you there's blood covering all over you. Just let him go and-Kyah!
Shun: I don't need your help! If I die then I die as a shinobi not a coward now come face me demon!
Lucian: Hehehe demon...not bad of a name of choice. Too bad you're going to die though.
Shun: We'll see who dies first.
Both of us ran at each other he gathered fire and wind on his sword while for me I stood there in place and I had an image in my mind of plants sprouting out of the ground like that woman did and I decided to see if I could use it. I then made a handsign and sure enough vines appeared from the ground he tripped on one and I used the vines to keep the man in place spreading out his arms and legs.
Lucian: Well looks like you lose. Best part about this is you get to feel what it's like to be a candy wrapper.
Shun: What.
I used the vines to slowly twist his arms and legs making them become tighter with every twist of all four limbs until I heard a loud satisfying snap on all four joints and he screamed loudly when the limbs became useless.
Shun: AAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!
Lucian: Still alive no worries I can use this.
From my palm I used the same thing I did onto the large man in armor impaled him with the spear and make the lighting and ice branch out.
Lucian: Huff...huff...(That was incredible I never felt so alive and now that I have control of his body I can do what I want. But for now I need some rest, today I had my fill of fun.)
I felt my body relax and collapsed onto the floor.
Sylvia's POV
I looked at what transpired using the scroll Shun used when he opened it during their final battle.
Sylvia: Well this has been interesting, and the shinobis I sent out are dead. For two I'm glad they're dead but for one I am not I lost an important shinobi the other two...well they were incompetent but for now I've seen all that I need to see time to return.
Airi: Milady?
Sylvia: Airi what're you doing here?
Airi: I came to inform you that the yoma in Hanzo Academy has been dealt with by Kiriya, Daidouji, and Hanzo. So I take it that you dealt with them quite easily.
Sylvia: Yes quite, although one pushed me to my limit of using my full power that boy really is something.
Airi: Indeed he is.
Sylvia: Come let us return for you to receive your gift.
Airi: Understood Milady!
We both left the forest to return to our hideout.
Ikaruga's POV
I saw everything there was no way the Lucian that I...no...the Lucian we know could ever do something this extreme. We were all frozen in place as we saw everything unfold. Hibari was in tears of what just happened to the other shinobis, and to be honest who could blame her, she was traumatized and so were we after this experience. It was really frightening to see something like this unveiled with our own lives. I used a shinobi smoke signal to see if Kiriya, or Hanzo could help us retrieve Lucian and tell him everything that has happened. This was a long night and one to remember.
(A/n): That is it for Chapter 12 I hope you enjoyed it cause I certainly did when writing this. Now Lucian has dived further into darkness and his darkness has taken effect now allow me to give you a choice would you want
A.) Have Lucian change from his light to darkness like a personality switch?
or
B.) Keep Lucian the way he is now?
I hope you guys enjoyed this story and I hope you have a good morning, afternoon, or evening whatever time you're reading this. REKXYEN OUT!!!
