Chapter 12

*CLASH!* *CLANG!* *THIIIINNN!!*

"Not bad for a newbie." Anko smirk as she begin to stepped backward while letting her Oni and the skeletal army to attack him. Without holding back, Hiki dashes himself forward and passing through the army with a single thrust of the spear.

"Heh...." Without notice, Hiki found himself immobilize as he looked at his leg. It seem she already set up a trap for him to fall right under to it. "How does it feels like to be trapped instead constantly jumping and strafe around like the blue hedgehog?" She asked as she begin to point her staff at his face.

"I should tell you this but her soul and her comrades are belong to me." She exclaimed what Hiki possessed right now.

"How can you tell that these are belong to them?" Hiki asked as he continue to asked few more question. "Are you some sort of God to them or a shaman to summon them from the dead?"

"Heh. You're right on spot." She snickers. "I am a shaman that called the soul of the dead and make them to work on me." 

"Don't you think that the work of yours could lead a consequences for yourselves?" He asked he seem a spot to put her guard down.

"Heh... Hahahaha..." Anko creepily as she burst out her laugh like a maniac. "What kind of consequences that I will struck upon!? I already faced something like this multiple time and nothing happen. So you're try to make me feel guilty huh boy? Guess what.... IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN!" She close herself to him with a twisted face of hers showing that she doesn't feel remorse or guilt to anything.

"Oh... I'm not the one gonna take you down... but..." he throw the spear as it start to impale her. Anko deflect it and begin charge herself forward to with her blade already pointed at his chest most likely to focus on heart. Hiki says his last before everything begin to change before 'it' happen.

"She the one who going to finish it off."

 As Anko to do so, something begin to stab her right at the back. Feeling cold and empty, she begin to looked at the person Hiki refers to.

"Haa... haa... haa.. I got you. Bitch!" IF respond as her right unable to hold her gun and let it fall due to the burned effect on her right hand. The giant skeletal hand that hold his had disappear become into ashes. Without any further ado, Hiki dashes himself forward with new spear that form by a crystal from the gauntlet that he wore. Almost reaching to her, a pair of large appear and halt his attack.

"The hell!?" Hiki respond begin to stepped back with his combat stances. 

"Tch..... You're late you know Aldrich. You should be here, when I needed a backup." Anko speak as she speak someone.

"I'm sorry. I had a bit... special encounter with someone else from the other side." Respond the man behind the claw.

'Someone from the other side? Could it mean..." Hiki begin thought about it.

"Well... we should fall back from now, the injuries you take are quite..... horrible." He respond. As soon as he lended a help to Anko, both of them begin to submerge by the black puddle. Hiki immediately rush towards to them but already late.

"Damn it... we're too late." Response Hiki in disappointment. 

'What do you mean?' Respond the voice inside his head.

"About someone from the other side. He might know about the others." Hiki respond look upon the puddle that being created by them. But he focus begin towards over the others as IF still grunting in pain while the others already passed out.

'I think you should help them first. While this can be waited for a moment.' Said the voice as Hiki nodded in agreement. 

Before he could reach to IF, he's begin to feel exhaustion from the battle and his consciousness begin faded slightly but surely. Everything begin to went..... white? Surprise from what he sees, he somehow begin to stand still like his exhaustion already gone. He looked around to see the other but instead, a man in black hood appear in front of him.
