The Demon's Way

Are you guys sick of me yet? :D

I dunno where I was going with this Midnight Story Makin'. IT'S THREE IN THE MORNING AS I TYPE THIS GUYS ALRIGHT SURELY YOU CAN FORGIVE ME FOR THIS.

Basically, just pretend that this is an alternate universe where samurais are face-of-the-game OP and all five of them are the bosses in ToA 100, both in normal and hard. That's all I have to say BEGIN THE NONSENSICAL STORY

---

The samurai is a mysterious creature in this world.

Born on the edge of light and darkness, good and bad, they are the ones who decide the fates of many.

Some of them are good, using their powers to make the right decision.

Others, however, are darker and more judgmental.

The darker samurais are the Demon's Way samurais, or so everyone thinks. Sige was no exception.

The dark aura surrounded the samurai, giving him a menacing glow. His dark hair was flicked by the wind that didn't exist. Sword in hand and scars down his eyes, he faced his enemies, right next to his brothers.

He had seen many challengers climb the stairs and face the hordes of monsters before them, greed in their eyes. Sige knew of the reward that one would receive for defeating all five of them – a Legendary Scroll. It was a mysterious thing that could summon only the strongest of monsters, and was locked away to be guarded by the five of them.

The five monsters that stood in front of him and his brothers were monsters that were rarely challengers. There was a Chloe, a Frigate, and even a Charlotte. The other two monsters, however, were Eladriel and Mav, who he had seen far too many of. Storm clouds loomed over their heads. It was time for the final battle.

The Frigate went first; shouting a battle cry that struck determination in the hearts of his allies. Chloe was next, and with a thump of her staff, there were shields surrounding all five of them. His brother, Tosi, was the one who went after her, slicing at the shields. None of them broke, but Sige saw something activate inside of him. A whirling white wind surrounded him, his metallic gold eyes judging everyone around him.

Charlotte struck after that. She looked so innocent and pure, with her wide eyes and childish hairstyle, but her adorable looks fooled no one. Her green eyes closed, arms extended and a guardian angel rose from the ground. Its wings were opened and the wind kicked up all of a sudden. With a swift move, Sige had stabbed the ground with his katana and held on, closing his eyes and invoking the power of the demons to hold his ground.

She had obviously been runed with Despair runes, as when the angel vanished into thin air, he had seen his brother, Jun, lying on the ground, katana haphazardly tossed away from him, unable to move. He had been stunned. A smile crept across the girl's face as she gripped onto her umbrella.

The sound of a katana being unsheathed rang out in the air. Kaito had been the one who caused this sound, as the air bent around him for a perfect slice at an enemy. Charlotte had been the target for this attack, but even through quite a bit of damage, she held firm. Eladriel's first move had restored part of her health.

Mav had been the last to go, and he was too late. Sige moved before him and wiped him out before he could even get one move. The magic barrier around the top of the tower prevented any monsters from being revived, so Eladriel couldn't revive the Penguin Knight. He could've sworn he heard the Frigate swear before shouting for a bombardment. Jun had been stunned again; next to Kaz, and Tosi seemed to take the most damage. Nevertheless, he was still standing, able to move.

Chloe healed the two allies who had taken the most damage, which turned out to be Charlotte and Frigate. She knew what was coming – she had heard many tales of the Demon's Way samurais, their power stronger than others like them, including a hidden fourth skill. She shouted for everyone to brace themselves as the power that had been growing in Tosi was unleashed.

The battle was already over before he let the white flames of the Supreme Sky Wolf be set free, that much the oldest of the four, Eladriel, knew. Tosi uttered out a cry in a language that sounded like a mix of Summonish and Japanese, as all four of them were sliced down to the bone twice from an invisible force that seemed like a blade. Simultaneously, they dropped down to their knees, blood pouring out of their wounds. Mav was right next to them, bleeding from his injuries.

The five samurai brothers were the judges of life and death in the Trial of Ascension; would he let the five free or kill them all? It had been years since anyone dared to climb the tower. As the eldest, it was Sige's decision to see if they would see the light of day again.

"What is your decision, brother?" Tosi asked. Sige closed his eyes and tightened his grip on his sword. Charlotte had accepted her fate, head dropped and eyes closed. With strength she was losing, she held onto the hand of Eladriel and smiled. If she was going to die, she was to die with her brother.

There were five screams and then silence. The samurai brothers stood above the corpses of their enemies; all stabbed through the chest with their blades. It was nothing he hadn't seen before. Sige turned away from the massacre, where the Legendary Scroll greeted him. The Demon's Way samurais were the ones who protected the Legendary Scroll from everyone except the best of Summoners; the ones who truly deserved it. They were neither light or dark; good or bad. It was simply their job to protect it.
