Fate of Realities

Script 43: Nothing

"Juzira Tonijo..?" asked Persona, "What's your business in all of this?"

"Well.. to be frank," said Juzira, "I was sent by Jukkon."

Will, Ikarus, Chika, Persona, and Val instantly held up their weapons against him, ready to take him down.

"Relax," said Juzira, not moving a muscle, "I don't plan on fighting you guys, especially with what Adonis was spouting at you all just a few minutes earlier."

Zzzt!

Suddenly, Juzira was behind them, "And honestly, I'd rather not be commanded by someone who's of higher power."

The Magia Orb was right in Will's hand, as if Juzira had given it to him.

"Why are you even doing this for us?" asked Val.

"Why are you all fighting Jukkon in the first place?" asked Juzira.

"Well, we want to take him down so that the multiverse doesn't get wiped out!" answered Ikarus.

"Exactly," continued Juzira, "I'd rather not have that happen either. Why would I want to work for something where my friends might get wiped out as well, right? Chorudo, Kirima! You can reveal yourselves."

Chorudo and Kirima walked out from behind a shelf. Chorudo was dressed in a well-mannered way, with a unique fashion sense, and Kirima was as meek as a rat. They both seemed to obey Juzira's command.

"These are my friends," smiled Juzira, "They've helped me alongside my troubles, and I'm sure they can vouch for my legibility."

"Whats your ability?" asked Will, hesitant on bringing anyone without him to defeat Jukkon, regardless if he was just given the Magia Orb.

"Well... I have a Guardian Demon by my side," said Juzira as he waved his hands, "I'm responsible for everything, yet I'm responsible for nothing. I call out.. King Nothing!"

Nothing happened.

"I'm surrounded by total wackos," thought Chika to herself, "Why did you have to leave me to these people, Ryder?"

"What gives?" asked Ikarus, "Nothing happened.."

"It's because you all aren't Horyo," explained Juzira, "Only Horyos get to see other people's Guardians. Us Horyo obtain special gifts from our Guardians. Mine is just an ability to shift through different timelines, finding out the best timeline that'd work in my favor.

A bit complicated to explain, but it's basically me changing up the effects to a cause. Chorudo and Kirima are also Horyo but....

Well, they aren't too important for now."

"You seem really sketchy," said Persona, not giving into Juzira's friendliness.

"Feel free to use that Magia Orb and defeat Jukkon," said Juzira, "After all, what I only really want is survival. I don't plan on being an important figure when it comes to your fights.

However... I wouldn't suggest that you use the Magia Orb now."

"Why is that?" asked Val, curious about Juzira's warning.

"Jukkon sent in one more person for the retrieval of the Magia Orb," said Juzira, "His ability is tough, even for me to manage. Adonis and the other guy was revived, while I was only called over to his place.

After Seraph died, his betrayal led some doubts into Jukkon's mind, so he pitted us against each other to test out our strength. That guy won by a sliver. I only managed to make it second, with Adonis coming dead last. It's also a shame that we're not allowed the strength of the Diamond Zone anymore."

"Seraph... was killed?" mumbled Chika.

"There... are more stronger people than Adonis?" asked Persona in confusion.

"He should be headed here now if I'm not mistaken," said Juzira, "You'll need me if you want to continue further as well. Jukkon has gotten stronger since you've all met him. He's been training his powers of Fate for a while now.

So how about we make a deal? I help you all fight this next guy coming at us, and you take me to Jukkon? I want to see his sorry face when I come over there and help kick his ass after all."

"Can we really refuse this guy?" asked Val, "He did just give us a Magia Orb..."

"We'll have to think about it once we fight the next enemy," stated Will, "I'm pretty skeptical about this person too."

"What's the enemy's name, by the way?" asked Persona.

"Oh, his name?" answered Juzira, "It's Hazama Kodachi."

"K-Kodachi?" yelled Ikarus and Chika in shock.

"K-Kodachi.." mumbled Chika, "Is that.. Ryder..? Ryder Kodachi is coming here?"

"No way!" yelled Ikarus, "Hazama Kodachi was one of the feared officers from the Feds. I had to fight him in the Volcanic Reality Square! His ability was way too powerful!"

"Kodachi, huh..?" announced Law from Val's mind, "This seems like another case of dimensional counterparts, just like Sty Xero."

"I don't really understand the connection that you two have with Kodachi," said Juzira, "But I should really warn you guys about what's to come.

After all, he just arrived."
