Soulles Sky

Chapter 27

•Team Foresta•

Aria, Lussuria, Fon, I-pin, Torikabuto and Skull arrived in the other side of the seashore, ahead was a forest where they could feel their target, Aoba Koyo’s location. Fon can’t help but narrowed his eyes, from their location they could clearly feel the presence of the Eclipse Flame, the flame that he admits not wanted to face again.

“Do you have a plan in mind Aria?” Fon questioned the Sky Arcobaleno, he knew her capability when comes to tactics like the previous Sky Arcobaleno, Luce.

Aria thought for a moment before sighing, “The enemy is kind of troublesome. From what I had gathered from Tsunayoshi-kun, not even ambush would work against it. All I could think is fight head on and see how we can fare against it.”

“I see.” Fon took a deep breath to calm himself.

Lussuria was humming as he searched something in his small notebook until he found it. “Ah~ Aoba Koyo Forest Flame user of Simon Famiglia. According to Haya-chan this guy is a combat battler like me and Ryo-chan. Kyaaa I can’t wait to meet him!”

Everyone can’t help but sweat drop, is this really the Sun chosen by Xanxus?

“Umm… so we’re going to battle head on then?” Skull questioned as scratching his head. Aria took a deep breath before answering, “But we need to be careful, we don’t know the capability of the Eclipse Flame in different vessels… maybe different to Ieyuji-kun or same, still need caution.”

“I agree.” Fon glanced to I-pin, “Don’t go ahead too much or do any reckless thing I-pin, the Eclipse Flame is dangerous. I hope you remember what I taught you before coming here.”

I-pin smiled and nod, “Aye.”

Inside the forest was a man who’s calm but dangerous. It was Aoba Koyo of Simon Famiglia, silently growling, glowing red eyes and drooling. From how he acts it’s like he’s waiting for the coming prey to come. A minute he felt the prey, Eclipse Flame leaking out from his body and stood up. He glared the direction where he felt the prey coming his way.

“Grrrrrrr” Aoba took a stance like a wild animal, ready to strike anytime.

The presence was coming closer in top speed, the more it come closer the louder his growl had become. Hearing the hush sound from the bushes, Aoba immediately dashed forward.

The first one to show up within the group was Fon who made the first clash between him and Aoba. Fon had immediately used his Storm flame for protection against the Eclipse Flame enveloping Aoba. Even in small body, Fon was able to give a punch that could push him away.

Using the timing, Lussuria appeared on the side, fist envelop by Sun Flame. “Sorry that I have to ruin your beautiful face!” Lussuria punched Aoba that made him roll on the side even so he immediately recovered and dashed forward.

Suddenly Aoba’s vision began to fuzzy for unknown reason. Little far from the target was the hidden Mist user, Torikabuto spreading his mist to create an opening for Lussuria to dashed forward and gave a Sun Flame kick. This made Aoba flew up from the sky, below were Fon and I-pin in ready position.

I-pin ate a special gyoza that she carried before making her attack that combines the material arts ability, “Gyoza-kempo!”

It hit Aoba that gave I-pin a temporary time to control his body to stop in midair. Fon took the opportunity to strike, “Exploding Dragon Fire Dance!” A big and strong red storm flame dragon appeared out of his fist and hit Aoba.

Aoba growled in pain as his red eyes glowed, he struggled and broke free from I-pin’s gyoza control and now dashing down to attack the two infants when a gun was heard. The bullet pierced his shoulder that made him land down on the side. Within the forest was Aria, holding a gun in serious expression. She may not a fighter but she won’t let herself be useless in this battle. With her was Skull, hiding near the tree due fear.
