Guardian Alliance Book #1

18. Confrontation

"You entered an area crawling with a large number of enemies with all the confidence in the known worlds without hesitation.. Why? Because you had your precious Manifest at your beg and call. Now look at you! No Manifest, no powers and no chance of survival!" Hanue

"Hanue, what about that blade? I haven't heard of him using it. Only the crimson one." Dracula

"Hm? That is an interesting observation... But non the less any Manifest inside of my barrier will be rendured useless. I believe this is checkmate... Vlad, if you will?" Hanue

"My faithful minions... Devour him!" Dracula

All of the vampire creatures that surround Sigma did not hesitate upon they're issued command. Half of them rush in from the ground as the other half leap at him from the air so that there is no where to run. In the midst of their assault, a dangerous feeling came about in the entire room that was felt by everyone. An intense amount of pressure erupts and is soon realized that its origin is Sigma.

"Soaring Blade 3rd form: Typhoon!" Sigma says as he spins in a complete 360 and draws out his crimson blade simultaneously.

Without warning, a typhoon forms in the room with Sigma at its eye. The wind rages at high velocity, the surrounding vampire hoard would get sucked into the tornado and was unable to escape.

"What in the?!" Hanue says as he quickly brings up a barrier around Dracula and himself.

"So that is 1 of the legendary techniques perfected over the years?! Such power! Yet, what is this ominous pressure?! It's... Nothing like I have ever felt before!" Dracula

Hanue and Dracula turn their attention towards the base of the typhoon where Sigma slowly walks out from and they both also notice that Sigma's mask is separated just enough to reveal his eyes. Meanwhile police officers in the surrounding area begin to feel an unusual increase in heat.

"What the hell is with this heatwave?" Commissioner Adams wonders.

"This isn't New York weather... Unless.." Allana would discuss with herself.

"Moeru! Talk to me! What's going on with you?!" Seraiah

"Our, connection... It's been.... Severed... I'm.. Dying.." Moeru Joo struggles to explain as she lays on her back.

"What?!! How?! Do I need to bring down the barrier?" Seraiah wonders.

"No!!... You mustn't... Let loose, the hoard..... No matter, what!" Moeru Joo says as the entire populant on the island bang against the shield ever since Sigma made his presence known.

Inside of the building, the typhoon slowly begins to cease until it was completely gone, Sigma comes to a halt and all of the vampires in the room that were sucked into the hurricane drops to the floor cut into separate pieces.

"He took out all of them... With just 1 technique?! How strong is this boy?" Dracula

"Hanue, are you willing to let down your Anti-Manifest Zone if I simply ask you to?" Sigma

"I'm afraid not." Hanue says as he disperses his shield.

"Then your life, is forfeit." Sigma says then draws his 2nd blade.

"Tch! You arrogant..!" Hanue

Sigma raises his crimson sword straight up above his head, wind gathers from around his body towards his blade and flows fiercer by the second. Dracula reached behind of his chair and pulls out a large Celtic like blade. Hanue decides to react by casting a magic circle behind of him, out of the circle came 9 different serpents that towers in size and sets their sights on Sigma.

"Kill him!!" Hanue

The snakes charge after Sigma who remains unfazed.

"Soaring Blade 2nd Form: Jaw Of The Dragon!" Sigma says as he swings his blade down directly in front of him.

The wind that gathered around him turned into a enourmous dragon that heads for Hanue. The serpents made to intercept Sigma's deadly attack but were easily blown away. That stunned Hanue which caused him to hesitate, yet as the dragon got within inches of him it suddenly dispersed. Upon his confusion Hanue's eyes drop to notice Sigma crouched down in front of him with his swords in attack position. With incredible speed Sigma lunges forward and stops a few feet away from Hanue with his blade out in hand. Few seconds later a horizontal gap opens up on Hanue's stomach, blood splatters out and Hanue drops to his knees.

"Fast as the wind, quiet as a forest, aggressive as fire and immovable as a mountain. That is what I strive to be and I won't let you stop me!" Sigma

Moeru Joo's eyes quickly open because she realises that whatever was blocking her connection to Sigma is now gone. Her body turns to a crimson flame, it easily slips through Seraiah's barrier, bursts through the wall of the building, makes it to where Sigma is and instantly vanishes into her crimson sword.

"You, truly are.. A Fur..ea.." Hanue says just before he collapses on the ground.

Dracula, who watches on is immobilized by fear and it got much worse the moment Sigma turns his head and locks eyes with him. As Dracula gazes on he begins to see a figure manifest itself around Sigma. The figure that Dracula sees forms itself into a fearsome dragon. Dracula was consumed by so much fear that he drops to 1 knee, drops his sword and lowers his head.

"I... I concieve.... You win....." Dracula
