Chapter 27 - Lies.

I'm about to fall apart.  I'm already halfway there, so.. 

I guess that's a start. 

I back flip, jumping at less a meter up, avoiding the incoming swing of Kurou's sword. I landed perfectly fine on my feet, as the impact of my landing shook me and surprised me a bit. He thrust his blade at me, but I put my sword in front of me. His blade slips through between my two blades. I flip my sword, as I flip Kurou's sword as well, as I disarm him. I lift my left leg, as I thrust my leg at him, kicking him. He fly back as he crashes to the ground, and slid. His sword drop. 

He vanishes, with the black smoke that surrounds him like a aura. He reappears in front of me, as he snatch his sword from the ground as he slash my shoulder. He could've slash my whole arm, but I evaded. I yelped, as I thrust my sword at him. He evade to the left and swing his sword at me again. This time, he slash my shoulders from the front of my body. 

Kyzou slid towards the right, moving around Kurou, as he sprints towards at him and thrust his blade at him. Kurou blocked his swing with his sword as he flip his sword as a dagger, and he swing at Kyzou. Kyzou was aware of that, a lighting bolt struck between them when he lift his left hand to the sky, and slam it to the ground. 

 I watch soldiers, firing directly at us, as Gen raise the ground in front of us, providing us cover. I quickly dash pass my cover, as I run towards the tanks. These things needs to be destroyed, because this is the main support. A tank fires at me, with their shell- but I manage to slip and dodge the shell, as it impacts to the ground, creating a heavy explosion and radius near me, about 2 meters. I could've died from that. I rolled on the floor due to the radius, but I crawled back up to my feet, still sprinting for one of the tank. I jump on one of the tank's main gun, as I run along it. The gunner's hatch opens up, as a DOES soldier rise up and grips onto the Commander's MG, but I slam my leg at the machine gun's ammunition, removing the bullets from the gun and knocking it off. I grab the soldier by the neck, as I flip him out of the hatch and throw him out from the hatch. I aim my palm at the hatch, as flames surrounds my hands then levitates in front of my palm. I cast a fireball inside the hatch, as I watch it impacts into the tank and engines, as I see everything light up on fire. I quickly scramble away from the hatch, and away from the tank, as the tank blows up, with a sudden radius explosion hitting me. I slid on the floor, on my side, but I manage to come back up. 

I see the dead tank flipped over due to the explosion, as it lands on the other one, crushing it. It's like killing two birds with one stone. 

The rest of us began fighting the soldiers and Kurou in the open, since the area was clear. Their main support is destroyed. Now we get the sub support.I stab my blade through a soldier's shoulder. Obviously I missed. I drag the blade towards his chest, giving him more of my blade, then I pulled it out. That's going to leave a mark. Kyzou grips onto a soldier's rifle, as he unsheathe a dagger size weapon, and thrust it against the soldier's head. He flips the soldier over. 

Kyzou just killed the last soldier. Kurou was occupied with Jiao and Zaerak, as they kick and swing their blades at him. Kurou was avoiding their blades like there's no problem, as he swiftly walk back, tilting left and right. He reaches out and grips on both of their blade, as they disarm easily. Crap! 

Before I rush in and slam my blade at him, I saw Haruko leap between them, as she slam her leg at Kurou by surprise. He slid back. 

"Are you two ok?" She asked them. They nodded. I rush into the scene. 

"Looks like you beat me to it, Haruko." I said. 

She tilt her head slightly, which looks adorable. "What do you mean?" 

"I was about to rush in there." I smirk. She laughs. 

I glare over my shoulder, watching Kurou clapping. "Katsu, I just found out something about your life, of what will happen." 

Like hell I would listen to him- 

"You will see your mother." He said. 

I grit my teeth, as I charge straight at him. I slam my sword at his hip, yet my blade ricochets from his blade that lays in front of his hip, making a racket. I slid back and I decide to aim for his other side of his hip, as I slam my blade towards there. He blocks again, and my blade ricochets. 

"Don't talk coldly about my mother!" I yelled, as I twirl and slam my blade against his neck. He ducked under, dodging my blade. He kicks my ankle, as I slid back, then he kicks me at the chest. I collapse onto my stomach. 

 "I'm not, don't worry." He said. "In your life, you will meet your mother, but you will encounter devastation." 

"What?" 

Haruko swung her fist at Kurou, as he blocks her attack with his own palm but he slid back. 

"Don't listen to him." She said. "Half of his words are lies." 

"Half?" I asked. That doesn't help me at all. 

She blushes, because of her embarrassment and error. "S-Shut up- get up!" She evades back, yet I look over at Kurou. All I see is a black beam coming towards here-I put both of my palm against the ground, as I roll back, dodging the beam, yet I skimmed it. 

I see Kyzou and Zailura leap towards Kurou, as they fought him and kept him occupied. Gen and Jiao were moving forward towards Kurou. I notice Gen was awake, and he had a bow? That's awesome! 

I see him stretch the string, as he stretch the arrow as well. He let go of the string, as the arrow flings off the string and fly pass Jiao and Zailura, as it hits Kurou at the shoulder. He has good marksman skill. 

 I feel a sting in my head, as I put my palm on my forehead. I heard someone yelling my name, as they put my hand on my back, as I see them crouch down. It's Haruko.I see my vision become blurry, then I felt heat in my eyes. I feel my ears changing, like it's being stretched out. Oh. 

This form again.
