Re:Zero The Fall Of The Four Demon Gods

A Name To Stop A Beast

While the others are trying to get to Genesis Reinhard and Cecilus are beginning to struggle more with Yoshiro in one of his most powerful forms.
Reinhard: CECILUS!
Cecilus: *ngh*
Several slashes surrounded him in a full 360 degree area from top to bottom. The attack was so fast and endless it created a blue and black dome.
Reinhard: Dam it!
Yoshiro: Pay attention boy.
To his shock Reinhard was kicked by him.
Reinhard: (h- when did he move?)
Yoshiro: You two seem to be getting tiered. Don't worry, I'll make sure you two sleep forever.
Felt: REINHARD!!!
Crusch: This is unbelievable...they have done everything they can yet he's not even breaking a sweat?
Anastasia: ...This barrier...it's not breaking no matter what we do.
Priscilla: Not even my abilities are useful against it. Nothing worked not even my sword.
Felt: w-we have to help them!
Crusch: Felt...I understand your concerns but-
Priscilla: If we try helping them we all die. We can't do anything against a monster like that. He's taking on two of the best swordsman known without even trying. He is definitely a force of his own.
Felt: b-but...
At the same time Reinhard was launched into the barrier where they are.
Felt: Reinhard...REINHARD!
Reinhard: o-oh...lady Felt...I hope you are ok.
Felt: *tears up* You big dummy look at you.
Reinhard: Yah...he's definitely something. He's actually overpowering all my Devine Protections. All of them.
Cecilus is soon sent flaying into the barrier next to him.
Cecilus:...Well...we tried. Heh.
Priscilla: Cecilus...
The six could see Yoshiro slowly walking to them.
Yoshiro: You two tried your best. Worthy warriors indeed.
Cecilus: *Ngh*
Reinhard: MOVE!
Before they could get out of the way, Yoshiro already had his swords through both their hearts.
Cecilus: ....
Reinhard:...
Yoshiro: Out of lives now.
He throws them to the side and Naomasa's ability activated for the last time saving the two boys.
Reinhard: This is it...our last life.
Cecilus: That ability she gave us has been handy alright.
Reinhard: We regained our strength and mana to.
Cecilus: Yah...hey Reinhard.
Reinhard: hm?
Cecilus: Use your strongest attack on him.
Reinhard: Yah...I can use everything for it but imma need time. The spirits here are plentiful as well. Not to mention all the damage I've taken has still given me strength despite healing.
Cecilus: Alright then you do your part and I'll do mine.
Reinhard: Huh?
Cecilus: They don't call me the Blue Lightning for nothing.
This Fiend sword and his Dream sword began giving off a powerful aura as he became more focused.
Cecilus: I have to admit. I'm having the time of my life right now.
Reinhard: Heh I'm sure you are.
He goes into his stance and prepares a more powerful version of   The Dragon Sword Reid Slash.
Reinhard: Yah this guy is more than worthy Huh Reid.
Cecilus: Right.
He quickly dashes towards Yoshiro and unleashes several constant attacks.
Yoshiro: Hmph (Their last effort to kill me huh. Let's see if they can pull it off.)
He counters with only Armageddon and blocks everything Cecilus tries hitting him with. At the same time Yoshiro is slowly walking towards Reinhard to stop him from unleashing his powerful attack.
Cecilus: (This guy!) DON'T IGNORE ME!
Yoshiro: hm?
Cecilus pushing himself beyond his limits unleashes attacks faster than the speed of light forcing him to focus more on dodging and blocking Cecilus's attacks.
Yoshiro: (I'm impressed.) Very well your determination is acknowledge.
Yoshiro returns full attention to him and unleashes attacks so fast and powerful, Cecilus has no way of avoiding or blocking.
Cecilus: GAH!!!
Reinhard: Tisk! HAAAA!!!
Yoshiro kicks Cecilus to the side breaking his back.
Yoshiro: go on. I'm about to show you the difference between us.
He put both his swords down and waits for his attack.
Reinhard: (He's not gonna...no he will die.)
He unleashes the swords  with a powerful swing directly at him.
Reinhard: That should-!!!
He looks to see Yoshiro walking through the attack and the powerful slash the was capable of killing the Beast of End in his right hand sold.
Reinhard:!!!(He-he stopped it?! With his...hand?!)
Yoshiro: Don't be shocked.
In a single motion the attack full of light was completely shattered into pure darkness leaving Reinhard standing defenseless.
Reinhard: There's...no way possible.
Yoshiro: I applaud your efforts you two.
Without warning he grabs him by the neck and slowly squeezes.
Felt: REINHARD!!!
Yoshiro: Any last words?
Reinhard: *chocking* A-A...
Yoshiro: hm?
Reinhard says something that Yoshiro wasn't ready for.
Reinhard: Ava...doesn't...hate you.
Yoshiro: What?
He lets go instantly allowing him to catch his breath.
Yoshiro: What did you say?!
Reinhard: Ava...don't hate you. She misses you if anything.
Yoshiro: How do you know this?
Reinhard show him a pendant that he gave her with a not on it. Written on the note is her hand written letter to him.
Yoshiro: This is...
Reinhard: She said if we failed to give you that. I didn't read it but I kept it like she asked.
Yoshiro: ...
He finished reading the little letter and puts his hand over his face attempting to hide his tears.
Yoshiro:...I-i am a fool...
Reinhard: It's fine...I'm sure you don't have a choice regardless do to your situation.
Yoshiro:...I can't let them go yet sadly. However I will let you two with the girls so you may heal.
Reinhard: Wait really?!
Yoshiro: yes...it's the least I can do for bringing me this letter. Besides Subaru and the others are almost here. They have four Disciples left before meeting me.
Reinhard: See...
Yoshiro: Can you stand?
Reinhard: yes.
Yoshiro: come I'll bring Cecilus...though I may have broken his back. I will heal him worry not.
Reinhard: That's good.
He claims his weapon and reverts back to his normal form. He also gets rid of the barrier and allows everyone inside the castle.
Yoshiro: I will help heal this one. In the meantime you five rest. I'm sure you all have a lot to take in after what's happened.
Yoshiro leaves with Cecilus to heal him while Reinhard and the girls sat and waited.
Felt: By the way Reinhard, what happened? He had your throat then suddenly let go. Now here we are.
Reinhard: Well...back at the camp before we all left to go into the portal, Ava stopped me for a brief moment.
[Flash Back]
Ava: Umm...Reinhard?
Reinhard: hm? Yes what can I help you with Miss Ava?
Ava: I'm sure you two will try hard and are very powerful and skilled but...against Yoshiro...I- Umm well...
Reinhard: You think we will die Huh.
Ava: M-mhm...I'm sorry.
Reinhard: No no it's totally fine. You know him more than anyone here so, I'm sure you know what he's fully capable of. Is there something that you can do to help?
Ava: mhm. Take this in case you two are on your last leg. Tell him that I'm not mad at him. None of this is his fault at all. I want him to read that note to. Oh and make sure he sees this pendant. This will help you two out and hopefully wake him up from his self blaming.
Reinhard: *smiles* you can count on me Miss Ava.
Ava: *Warm smiles* thank you very much Reinhard.
[Present time]
Felt: So...This Ava person knew you two would fail?
Reinhard: Mhm she knows how powerful he is. And after fighting him even with the help of Cecilus...he's definitely more than a beast.
Crusch: Definitely, for someone to take little to no damage for that long?
Priscilla: Only time he took a hit was when Felt called your name. Then he quickly got even more serious.
Reinhard: Yah, perhaps to show that we never actually stood a chance.
Crusch: Maybe.
Reinhard: Who would have thought saying her name would actually save us.
Felt: Ava huh.
Priscilla: She has more value to him than anything if her name was able to stop such a monster.
Reinhard shakes his head.
Reinhard: he's not a monster. He has to serve a monster.
Anastasia: I remember, in the library there was a book on his past.
Crusch: So you read that yourself Huh.
Anastasia: Mhm. It was sad actually, all his allies and the women he served dead. Leaving him to fight an entire army on his own. The only reason why he lost was so to him only being a decoy for the Queen's daughter to escape with some demon kid.
Reinhard: Hmm...I wonder.
Priscilla: it was a set up.
Reinhard: Huh?
Priscilla: Think about this. He is capable of destroying an entire race No an entire planet if he wanted to. Yet he chose not to.
Crusch: What are you getting at.
Priscilla: That sword Armageddon can erase an entire species. I'm sure he killed more than enough demons to erase Genesis. In other words-
Anastasia: That Demon that was found was a set up.
Priscilla: Yes and no.
Crusch: From reading the books on his past we know that demon was found abandoned by someone.
Anastasia: And in a few years they got attacked.
Priscilla: Those years were enough to create a bond with that demon orphan.
Anastasia: In doing so Genesis would have had time and planning to invade and how long it would take for him to escape with the daughter Lunanie.
Felt: The orphan was named...Xalvec.
They all looked at her in surprise.
Felt: Xalvec was abandoned by Genesis on purpose the raised and welcomed and eventually became the lover of the princess Lunanie. Genesis would know where they would be,the weak spots of this castle the amount of solders needed to weaken Yoshiro and then make him his slave all in knowing he couldn't use Armageddon's most powerful attack because it would kill Xalvec as well and break the Lunanie's heart. *takes a breath* few.
Crusch: That's...yah correct actually.
Anastasia: If he knew this then why does he not try freeing himself?
Yoshiro: Because this curse has a hold on me.
Reinhard: Yoshiro.
Yoshiro walks with Cecilus unconscious on his back.
Yoshiro: He's healed but needs rest. I had figured that this was all in his plans. Yet I knew if I put everything together, it would only fuel the rage deep within me.
Priscilla: So you served him for over a thousand years knowing he did this to you.
Crusch: He can't Priscilla. That curse on his chest prevents him from going against Genesis.
Felt: You are a victim in all this...just like Ava.
Yoshiro: We all are...for his plans.
Anastasia: Where is he anyway?
Yoshiro: If you're talking about Genesis then, he's preparing for his biggest fight. He could care less what happens now. He also knows if I try to betray him or break this curse, it will activate the effect and I'll become a mindless killing machine.
Reinhard: Hey you still have three people to hope on freeing you.
Yoshiro: Hm?
Reinhard: Ava,Kajah and Subaru.
Yoshiro: They cannot free me from this.
Reinhard: You really think so? You thought we couldn't hurt you at all yet we managed to land two hits on you.
Yoshiro: That's because she said your name out of desperation.
Felt: HEY!
Reinhard: Yet the unexpected happened and it threw you off your game.
Yoshiro: Hmph I suppose you're right. Perhaps they might be able to help.
Priscilla: He's still sleeping? He should be able to wake up by now.
Cecilus: Zzz so warm Zzz
Yoshiro:...sigh.
They all laughed at the situation. At the same time Wrath was starting to have trouble taking on Void.
Wrath: GAH!!!
Void: Hmph looks like you will become one with this void soon. Your skills will be handy.
Wrath: ...you know...I just released something.
Void: Hm?
Wrath: Thia entire time...I've been calm in this fight.
Void: What are you talking about?
Wrath: I've changed so much and I didn't even notice...but now that it's just me here fighting.
Void: HM!
He quickly backs up from him as his blood lust skyrocketed.
Void: What's going on?
Wrath: Heheheh I can be my old self again. Heheh HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
Several chains flow from his body, his eyes now more psychotic and his horns glowing with his aura.
Wrath: NOW THE REAL FUN BEGINS. GAHAHAHAHAH!!!
Void: So it truly begins.
