Imagination Is My Weapon(Rising of the Shield Hero Fanfic)

Chapter 7: The Twins Reunite

Mirai Iwatani Level: 23

Kenta Level: 24

"What on earth are the two of you doing?!" I yell and using all my strength I divert the pierce towards the audience. "Kenta!" I shout, he runs over and transforms into his demon form. The pierce hits him and he absorbs the impact, thus protecting the audience.

"If you two are Cardinal Heroes, you shouldn't be fighting each other." I state.

"Mirai, but wait how'd you-" Motoyasu stutters as I turn around and kneel down.

"Naofumi, are you alright?" He raises his head.

"Mirai, what're you doing here?" he asks.

"I was summoned along with the rest of you." I explain.

"Mirai, why did you interfere?!" Motoyasu shouts, I stand up and face him as Kenta walks toward me.

"Just like I said, Naofumi and you are Cardinal Heroes are you not?"

"I am but he's-"

"The Shield Hero and whether you accept it or not he is one of the Cardinal Heroes." I state.

"I don't understand."

"To put it simply I was summoned alongside the Four Cardinal Heroes, my role being that of the Fifth Cardinal Hero." I explain.

"There is no such thing, you must be the Devil of the Shields' Witch in arms." the King states as he walks toward us. "G-

"If I may, your majesty the Fifth Hero is summoned when the world deems it necessary, so it makes sense that the Nobles, Church, and Royalty are unaware of my existence. Aside from myself there has only been one other Fifth Hero" I explain, the King hesitates before smiling and pointing at me.

"Don't believe the witch." the King says and faces the audience, "The Witch has used her magic to blind you, do not be fooled!" he bellows, "Guards arrest the Witch and her Demon!" the guards charge at Kenta and I. The crowd cheers on as the guards start piling down both stairwells.

"Kenta, we've got to go."

"Right." I turn towards my brother and place my hand on his shoulder.

"We will meet you at Lute." I pat his shoulder before jumping on Kenta's back and running, the guards following us. We have the guards chase us to the edge of the city before we disappear in cloud of red and white. We reappear just in the forests surrounding Lute.

"No wonder I felt something awful coming from that castle." I comment, "I mean seriously pitting the Heroes, who are supposed to be working together, against Naofumi. This is complete crap!" I yell and frustratingly punch my fist against a tree. "If I'm supposed to unify the Heroes then why wasn't I summoned closer to the city, or even right alongside them! Especially if, by the time that I got to the city, the Heroes were already fighting against each other! And what's worse is that the other three don't even act like heroes and they are scrutinizing my brother!!!!" I shout, my wound throbs and I fall to my knees.

"DAMN IT!!!!!!!!" I cry, dropping my face into my hands.

"Mirai" Kenta leans against me, I glance down to find him in his demon form he looks up, "Sorry for this!" he jumps and headbutts me as a result we both fall backwards.

"Kenta, what the he-" I shot up holding my forehead, "That only made the wound feel worse, what were you thi-"

"No, what are you thinking?" he retorts, "Where'd all your "I'll meet the Heroes, reunite with my brother, and unify the heroes no matter what!" attitude go?"
