The Forbidden Key

"1st form weapon shift" Aria called out. As her weapon, Heiwa turned into a sword. 

"You can change your weapon!?" Ray exclaimed. Aria nodded.

"It's good in a battle. You can change your weapons at will. Like..." 

"Heiwa no seishin" the sword became a staff which then curved and became a bow. 

"A bow!" Aria flicked her hand and a glowing arrow appeared. She aimed and shot it at a rock and it zoomed through it, breaking it.

"That's strong" Ray commented. Aria nodded, "You try." 

"Toge," Ray said. His shield and sword appeared. 

"Now...shift it" 

"1st form weapon shift" his weapons glowed and became a scythe.

"Good! Now use the master shift" 

"That is the skills name?" Ray asked. Aria nodded. 

"How would I know the weapons name!?" Ray exclaimed waving his weapon. 

Aria smiled "You just do," 

Ray took a breath concentrating deeply, "Bara no toge!" The scythe transformed into armor. 

"A-Armor?" Ray stammered in disbelief. 

"Not just any armor," Aria said impressed "Meister Weapon"

"What's that" 

"Your armor becomes the desired weapon, it reacts before you will be able to think about it," 

"What!" 

"Try it" Aria said chuckling. Ray closed his eyes and with an extended hand, he summoned a weird looking sword. 

"Try it out," Aria said. Ray raised his weapon and the sword blade extended like a whip. 

"A sword whip....I've never heard of-"

He swung the whip and the blade sliced cleanly through a boulder. Aria nodded approvingly. 

"Try the 2nd form. 1st form is in the bag" Aria called out. Ray nodded, "2nd guardian form." 

Suddenly the ground exploded from under Aria. 

"Aria!" Ray shouted as the guardian was sent flying upwards. Aria blinked dazed and realized what happened. Aria twisted her body and saw a flash of gold, as she felt a punch in her gut. 

"Hello...Aria" a voice hissed.

"Tritium!" Aria growled.

"Aria!" Ray cried out Aria looked below. A figure emerging from the ground.

"Kemono!" She exclaimed.
