Kyoukai No Kanata: After-Story

Chapter 017

Amari gazed below herself where she found Mitsuki and Hiroomi carrying Akihito and Mirai out from the giant crater. Ayaka tries to distract her by blasting small spheres of light powers at Amari. She find it irritating and henceforth her powers directly at Ayaka. The sky shook, even the land.

With a deep breath Hiroomi and Mitsuki finally reached the fences. Akihito and Mira's bodies are still warm, gently just in their resting unconsciousness.

"When do you think they'll regain consciousness?" Mitsuki wondered with exhaust.

"I clearly had no idea. All we can do now is wait for Beyond the Boundary to awaken so we can seal Chronoic back to where he belongs." Hiroomi sat down leaning his back against the fences.

Amari began to rise her powers of intensity. Ayaka couldn't imagine such willing powers she possessed. The white clouds from above rapidly stormed together and formed a tornado bigger than any kind the world has ever have. Lightning roars as thunders rumbles behind the dark clouds. Wind swirls harshly in the air, gusts of winds binds with the clouds as the tornado becomes bigger.

"We need to run!" Hiroomi spectate the weather getting out of hands. "Hurry! Before that tornado strikes us!"

"It's too big, we won't make it in time!" Mitsuki covers her face as the gusts of winds blows roughly in the air. 

The wind blew dusts into the air, making it difficult to see. Hiroomi embraces his arms around Mitsuki and covers her from the dusty wind. He closed his eyes as well, holding his breath.

"You're an insane looking human even without possessing that tremendous amount of youmu powers." Ayaka kept her balance steady so the gusts of winds wouldn't blow her away.

Amari grins as her sharp fangs drools. She just reacts to Ayaka's words, then she strikes once again with a blast that brighten and blinds everyone's eyes. It was impossible to retreat in that moment.

Hiroomi opens his eyes when the wind suddenly settles quietly, the dusts no longer sweeps over the surroundings of the giant crater. The cloudy grey sky turns violet and the sun seemed so dim it looked like the smallest sun in the galaxy. Amari floated in the air just staring at something above the sky. Hiroomi immediately gasp as his eyes catches Mirai standing behind him. 

"Mirai Kuriyama, you're awake." He felt so startled he became speechless. 

Mirai nod as a response. She walks slowly to the edge where the surface of the Earth meats the swelling terrain. Nagatsuki High School was wiped out, without doubt Mirai knew who demolished that area. Her fingers clenched with a brief anger then slowly she let go of her emotion and somewhat became emotionless. 

"Be careful, Ayaka just got defeated by Amari, but she's not a normal human anymore." Hiroomi warned. 

"We can handle it." Mirai implied. 

"We?" Hiroomi looked puzzled. 

Amari's eyes was still constantly gazing above her where the violet sky controls the amount of sunlight from entering in the Earth's greenhouse. Mirai took out her blooded sword, she leaps upward toward Amari while she is being distracted with the familiar presence in the violet sky. With the distraction Mirai swiftly swung her sword horizontally at Amari, nonetheless she somehow deflected Mirai's sharp strike swinging her blooded sword backward. Amari pushed her away with a single blast which was fortunately not a concentrated powerful attack. Mirai did a midair back flip and landed on her feet. 

"I told you she's powerful." Hiroomi reminded. 

Mirai didn't listen and continues to obligate the fight with Amari's youmu form. Once again she leaps back into the sky as the wind flutters through her clothes and hair. Without holding back, this time Amari generates a glowing sphere on her palm, aiming it at Mirai. Mirai thought that her sword could stop her powers but it was too much to actually handle with just one slice. 

The sky explodes, clouded smokes vaporized into thin air. It becomes cleared where Mirai is. A black and giant furry cat lend her a hand by lifting her back up into the air. Mirai ride on the cat's back as her hand clenched tighter on her own blooded sword. It's probably impossible to defeat Amari since Chronoic is after all supporting her and that youmu is stronger than Beyond the Boundary. 

"Why are you supporting that pathetic human and not your owner?" Amari importuned the situation. 

The cat seemed to show a slight mercy for her owner, then Mirai patted her back gently. "You're not meant to be owned. You are a youmu not a pet." 

The cat's eyes sharpen as Mirai's words encouraged her to be aggressive yet she still felt the incomplete version of herself. The cat shook her head and bowed her head at Amari, she looked down to herself not understanding why Amari chose to be like this. 

"I'm a loyal friend to Amari not a servant. I'm an encouraging family not just a youmu. Amari is the only friend and family I have. Chronoic is the one I should be fighting not Amari." The black furred cat growls in disgust. "Show your true self Chronoic!" 

Amari grins with her fangs drooling. "What a nice insistence. I wouldn't want to throw away the persistent opportunity." Amari looks up at the sky, her pupil rolls over as her eyes turns white. A black dwarf rips out of her chest which Chronoic left Amari's body vulnerable. She fell down toward the swelled terrain. 

The black furred cat immediately dash toward Amari's collapsed body, it lands on the ground as Mirai helps catches her. The black dwarf consumed the lands and houses around it, creating a dragon-like youmu. 

Hiroomi and Mitsuki ran as far as possible, to the taller terrains in the distances where it's a bit further from the center of the city. Chronoic consumed so much land and buildings in the city that the innocent people there began to see the shape of it. Mitsuki couldn't believe her life never will the city be the same ever again. 

"Chronoic has made the innocent humans noticed the real world society of our secret beings and powers. He has something roasting already and it seems both Mirai and Akahito can't stop him." Hiroomi's eyebrows twists. 

"But what about Beyond the Boundary?" Mitsuki questioned yet she felt scared herself. 

"I don't know, it might be impossible for everyone to stop it now." His words frightens Mitsuki a bit, but she held on to her wrist and pressing her hands on her chest. 

"They can make it."
