Akuma No Kage: Season 3

Chapter 4: The Killers Of The Living

The silence remained within the air for around 10 seconds as Jiyu's mind wandered upon the grass that stated "They call themselves gods," constantly thinking and wondering just what Tsumetai meant, then he spoke, breaking the small silence that remained, "Gods...?" He asked, quietly in a bit of a demented tone. Tsumetai only responded with a nod. "What do you mean...?" "There's no time to explain, hurry up and help me wake everybody up. That friend of yours... the one with the grey hair... He said he sensed it... Strange.." Jiyu nodded and ran down the hall to his room, where he entered, leaving the door open behind him as he grabbed his katana when he ran torwards his bed, and spoke softly, "Yami, get up, we've got a problem." Yami immediatly opened her eyes and spoke, "What is it?" "Terrorists..." Yami raised an eyebrow and stood out of bed, stretching, sighing as she did, she took a key out from her pocket as Jiyu picked up his pistol and slipped the magazine in it's slot. Yami ran down the hall and slipped the key in the keyhole to the door to her room, unlocking it and opening it up, walking in, grabbing her scythe, then running out as Tsumetai ran past her torwards Amaterasu's room. Yami paid no attention to him, what-so-ever as she ran downstairs meeting up with Jiyu as he stepped outside, and she followed him. Then, they saw it. Akatsuki had his 2 foot long katana in his right hand backward-style, and his 3 foot in his left hand, normally. He fought a few men who held only wooden bokkens, He sliced them straight inhalf grunting as he sheathed both katanas, flipped back a few times and took out a plastic bottle which held dry ice in it, he jolted his arm down, slamming the bottle down right infront of them, swiftly escaping the blast that came, when he then slid out another bottle which had water and dry ice, they weren't mixed, no there was a small plastic barrier holding the dry ice up, Akatsuki threw it down infront of them aswell, then, after the blast, which he had escaped yet again, smoke started to come from the puddle. Akatsuki walked back to Yami and Jiyu as Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi walked outside, behind them. "Who are these guys?" Amaterasu asked Jiyu. "No idea... but.. they call themselves gods?" Amaterasu raised an eyebrow, then spoke, "Well alrighty then... None the less, we must defend this base... Hopefully Shokan can help..." Just then, Shokan stepped out of the doorway, walking out infront of the group they had formed infront of it. "Well, speak of the devil." Tsukuyomi said with a small snicker as she smirked. Shokan nodded and began thinking as Deatta and Renji walked out, Tsumetai behind them. "It's been a long time, Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu..." Tsumetai said as he looked up with a slight grin. Jiyu unsheathed his katana getting in a defensive stance as Renji did the same with his sakaba sword. The smoke had started clearing now, Akatsuki slid out his four foot long katana, grunting. Then, just as the smoke cleared, Shokan looked up and spoke firmly, "Got it..." He grinned as he stood up and nicked his thumb with his own teeth, drawing out a pentagram on the ground with it. It was large and wide, not to mention almost completely flawless. "I'm going to use 'her...'" "Are you sure you're strong enough, and that you've got enough energy?" Amaterasu asked. Shokan only nodded, then he spoke, "I'll use pierce aswell..." He slammed his palm into the center of the star in the pentagram, then called out firmly, "Summoning!! Tsukuyomi! Pierce!" Then, the cloaked, paleskinned figure rose from the pentagram, back to back with the girl which had dark purple hair with hints of black, who wore a skintight suit and a hoodie over it. "It's too early for this.." The woman said as she rose. "Shajik- Wait... who are you?" The woman asked as she turned torwards Shokan. "I'm Shajiku's nephew." He replied, firmly, baring his eyebrows down. "I see... You may call me Kagena." She said as she slipped out a blade, Pierce nudging her slightly and whispering, "He's a strategist like Shajiku... He knows all the terms of the power and he doesn't miss-use it... I can assure you he's great to own this power..." He said in a deep voice as he walked from the pentagram, Kagena walking the opposite direction as the smoke cleared. Then, they saw it. Hundreds of men stood there. "Wh-what...?" Jiyu asked as he gaped in horror. "Change of plans... I'll also be using another familiar..." Shokan said as he slammed his hand back into the center of the star of the pentagram, calling out loudly and firmly, "Summoning!! Kaze!!" Then, an enourmous, white furred fox which wagged it's nine tails and had 2 crimson red eyes rose from the pentagram, it stood almost 10 feet taller than Shokan. "Kaze... I'm going to have to ask you for a favor..." Shokan said, as he looked up at the massive fox. It nodded. "Capture." And with that one word, the fox turned and ran at the terrorists in an instant. They ran for dear life, But pierce cut them off, slicing straight through their necks. The fox then turned and skidded to a stop, running at another group with such speed, they only had the same result, and the same went with the next group and the next group until finally, the last 5 men remained. Though, only four were visible at the time. They shivered in fear as they stared up at the beast which confronted them. Then, smoke rose from behind them, and soon engulfed them. "Fools..." Akatsuki said as he ran into the smoke and layed out a graph, with mere hearing. He layed out a graph, inside of the smoke. There was one man 4 feet away from him, another was a few meters, while the other two were together, around 5 meters away. "Wait..." He thought, "There's another... but I can't feel him with thermo-location... How...?" He thought as he ran and slipped his 4 foot blade through the man closest to him's neck, only to run torwards the other man next, giving him the same, bloody fate. Then, he ran at the two that ran together, and sheathed his 4 foot blade, drawing his 2 foot blade and 3 foot blade, slicing clean through their necks in sync at the same time. Then, the smoke cleared. The group which was behind Akatsuki stared at the figure who was masked and wore a grey cloak. They turned and stared at Shokan, as he fell to his knee's, breathing heavily as his familiars faded away. Then, they looked up at Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu. Amaterasu reached out and slowly lowered Jiyu's gun, which Jiyu had raised at the figure as soon as he saw them. It was for only a mere second. But this second turned into 10 seconds, and 10 seconds turned into 20 seconds, until finally, they had stared at each other for half a minute.

He stared, though his eyes weren't able to be seen, as they were covered by a small piece of leather. Then, he stared at Akatsuki. He stared at Akatsuki for a minute straight though, as if something was different about him. Then, the figure spoke, in some kind of altered voice, as if he was speaking through a voice modifier. "Hello... I am a god.." Jiyu glared at the man as he spoke. "I'd like to offer you a peaceful death." "What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" Jiyu blurted out, baring his eyebrows down in an aggitated fashion. "And why the hell are you killing other living lifeforms, asshol-?!" "Silence, Jiyu..." Renji interupted, glaring at him. "Learn something about someone before you go around asking them for things that aren't your business..." "Fine..." Jiyu grunted as he looked at the man. "I will tell you our reason..." The man said, "It's merely because extermination is upon us. This wasn't an accident. It was caused, completely intentional. The human race was meant to be wiped from this planet, and us gods are the ones who order it." "What are you trying to say...?" Amaterasu asked. "I'm saying that it's merely time for the human race to end." "And how do you know that?" He asked, glaring. "I know that, because..." The man spoke, just as slowly as before, "I created them."
