Chapter 21: Can We All Please Get Along? (episode 24)

Onyx woke the next morning early. They were going to go outside and enjoy the peace before who knew what might happen next, but alas, there was a deadweight on top of them. Onyx chuckled slightly as they ran a hand through Tsurugi's messy hair. He didn't stir from the touch.

Onyx laid there and stared at the roof of the tent that they had set up. They knew it wouldn't be long before something was bound to happen and make them all have to rush to the scene of chaos again. Tecchu was going to get up to something. He had to. Don Armage wouldn't appreciate him taking his time with killing them.

Tsurugi woke with a start. Onyx eyed him up with a bit of concern.

"You good, kid?" They asked.

"It was... just a dream..." Tsurugi replied, sounding a little out of breath.

"Nightmare?"

Tsurugi hesitantly nodded. Onyx sighed and ruffled his hair, before placing a kiss on his head.

"Trouble!!" There was a call of alarm from outside the tent.

Onyx was the first outside, Tsurugi not far behind them. Spada and Raptor were rushing toward them.

"A vice-shogun has appeared!" Spada said.

"Lucky and the others are fighting him!" Raptor added. "We should go help!"

"I'll go." Tsurugi replied. "There is something I want you to find. I must know the truth behind that battle."

"Eh?"

"The Tokei kyutama. It will let us see what truly happened back then. Please find it." Tsurugi said.

"O-okay." Spada and Raptor hesitantly agreed.

"Stay safe." Onyx said. "Now, come on. We need to go help the others."

Tsurugi nodded. The two of them rushed off to go and meet up with everyone else. Unfortunately, they got there a bit late. Everyone was writhing on the ground in pain. Tsurugi stopped running and stared out at them all.

"My word..."

"We should-" Just as Onyx was about to prompt him to fight, another voice spoke up.

"Go, Gabura!"

"Gabura?" Onyx repeated. "Oh, that is not good..."

"I am Gabura. I'm Tecchu-sama's right-hand man as well as a bloodstained executioner." Gabura said. "Get in my belly and become one with my blood."

"No!" Onyx didn't know whether to rush out or not.

Lucky stood up and seemed as if he was about to transform again, but fell down the stairs behind him. Talk about lucky. The rest of the group ended up getting grabbed by Gabura and sucked into him.

Lucky climbed back up the stairs and stared around. "Guys?"

"Better hurry if you want to save them." Gabura taunted him. "Before they become my blood, that is."

"Bastard!" Lucky started getting back to his feet when Tsurugi ran forward and stood in front of him.

"I'll be your opponent." Tsurugi stated and transformed.

He attacked the two enemies. Lucky watched. Onyx also watched. They had their hand clenched tightly around one of the kyutamas. They would jump in if they needed to.

Tsurugi got knocked back and went tumbling. Gabura took the opportunity to try and get Tsurugi as well with his hair. Onyx ran forward, summoning their sword. They jumped in front of Tsurugi and deflected the attack. One piece managed to latch onto their wrist. Onyx growled and grabbed it with their hand. They squeezed down as hard as they could. Gabura yelled in pain and released them. Onyx rushed at him and began to attack him.
