So we're approaching the end and soon enough Season 2 will start along with some ideas that became possible thanks to you guys for giving me ideas to really expand upon. So without further ado let's start.
Lucian's POV
I looked at the girls and they joined their hands together in a team effort to bring Hibari back Asuka then calls out to me.
Asuka: Lucian?
Lucian: Yes?
KHBBS OST: Ventus Theme
Asuka: Join your hand with ours after all we're a team! We're students of Hanzo Academy and our friend so join in.
Lucian:...
In my mind bad memories began to surface of how I was denied by others or received no acknowledgement from my peers when being put onto teams when I was in school but this...this one moment I felt truly happy that I have made great friends who acknowledged me, and accepted me as a friend. I felt my eyes were about to water and the rest of the girls looked worried at seeing this but their worried faces turned into soft smiles while for me I had a smile of gratitude while my eyes were starting to tear up. I placed my left hand on top of Asuka's and it was then Katsuragi began her talk.
Katsuragi: Ready team it's time we put those Hebijo bimbos in their place and we get back Hibari!
Asuka: Yes for the sake of our friend...
Ikaruga: We won't give up.
Yagyu: We won't lose.
The girls then looked to me to see if I had something to say so I composed myself to say my part.
Lucian: We'll beat the girls from Hebijo and get Hibari back safe and sound!
Katsuragi: Ready?
Girls & Lucian: Break!
————————Music ends
We all raised our arms high and with that being said we were motivated to bring Hibari home. We all went to our rooms and got our stuff prepared however a slight conversation took place while I was packing.
Dark Lucian: (So the showdown between the Hanzo girls and Hebijo girls begin I wonder who will live and who will die?)
Lucian: (No one in Hanzo Academy is going to die.)
Dark Lucian: (Oh really what makes you so sure about that? Tell me can you see into the future? Or do you honestly believe that what you did will guarantee that everyone will come out of this alive? If the girls took necessary precautions then sure they'll survive but question is for how long? And who knows what Hebijo might've done to Hibari they might've modified her to believe that we're her enemies, or Hibari is already dead and that bitch of a puppeteer is her doll. Take that part into consideration as well because you're diving straight into the unknown.)
Lucian:...
I had to admit what my other self said is true we are diving straight into the unknown we don't know what Hebijo did to Hibari but at the same time I want to believe that Hibari is alive, so much was riding on this mission it was a rescue mission or a body retrieval mission fact of the matter is we had to get Hibari back dead or alive.
Dark Lucian: (So you understand what needs to be done?)
Lucian: (....Yes.)
As much as my heart pounded, I felt my own stomach begin to churn into where it hurts, the nervousness and anxiety has truly made me feel fear of what the outcome would be. Would we succeed in our mission or die in our mission? The more time I spent on it, the more my fear rises.
Dark Lucian: (Keep driving yourself more into fear, the more you fear the faster I'll regenerate and I'll be back to full strength unless there's a giant cesspool of negativity in which I can absorb then perfect.)
Lucian: (I shouldn't think about it too much, all I have to do is think in the positive that we will survive this!)
I got my things ready but not without a quick trip to the bathroom and ingesting some stomach pills to stop the pain from getting out of control. As I was about to get myself ready my other self asked a question which made me stop in my tracks.
Dark Lucian: (Quick question what will you do once we get there? Kill others or just knock every shinobi we encounter out because killing them would be fast and efficient but knocking them out will take a lot of time. So what will you do?)
I dreaded that part in what my other self told me and to make things worse I still haven't come up with anything knocking out all the shinobi we encounter would take too much time seeing as how it's enemy territory, meanwhile if I was to kill every shinobi I encounter the numbers would be reduced increasing our chances at victory. A heavy choice was placed on my mind on what to do?
Lucian: (....I...I don't know.)
Dark Lucian: (You need to do it, kill all of them. Make sure no one survives because if you let one of them live chances are they might just be your worst opponent to fight so spare no one. After all they did take Hibari so we may as well take something from theirs as well and if she's dead then all the more reason for it to be justified.)
Lucian:...(But what if she's still alive?! How would that be justified then?! I'm still taking another person's life! If Hibari is truly dead then...yes I...might go through with it but if she's alive and I committed countless acts of murder what then huh?!)
Dark Lucian: (Use your head for this and think carefully. Where are we going?)
Lucian: (Hebijo Academy.)
Dark Lucian: (And Hebijo Academy houses what?)
Lucian: (Evil ninjas.)
Dark Lucian: (Exactly. They're not going to hesitate to take your life in this situation so it's kill or be killed live with it. That's how life always goes.)
Lucian:....
As I kept wondering about what my other self said, and going over what he said very carefully I then took a deep breath and exhaled coming with a regretful conclusion.
Lucian: (I guess I don't have much of a choice...I'll have to kill.)
Dark Lucian: (Wise choice. Now tell me would you be using the yoma seal?)
Lucian: !
Dark Lucian: (Throughout the years of your life you've harbored so much hate, rage, and pain that it's all bottled up inside amplified by the yoma seal, so why not release it all? After all you might very well need all the power you can get.)
After thinking about it for a bit I decided on what I must do.
Lucian:...(I'll only use it as a last resort.)
Dark Lucian: (Perfect.)
I looked over with what I had in my arsenal, a small portable kit with basic medical equipment, 20 kunais, 30 explosive tags, & 40 shurikens, ninja wire, & 10 smoke bombs. I then realized something about what the rest of the girls had that I don't most of them have a weapon.
Lucian: Asuka, Ikaruga, & Yagyu all have weapons...Katsuragi well technically her weapon is her boots but...I don't know. I should really invest in obtaining a weapon, question is what weapon would suit me? A sword? A bow and arrow? A lance? Oh maybe some sort of chakra staff in which I can use my elemental affinities? Oh maybe I can charge into battle with some sort of cavalry...nah...or I can keep using kunais and shurikens like an assassin. I can't keep fighting barehanded forever I could use my affinities but I don't want to waste chakra having them active for too long...hmm...ah to heck with it I'll figure it out later. After all it's not the size of the weapon that matters it's how you use it.
I went to meet up with the rest of the girls and we were led to a secret underground cavern beneath the school. We put on the human sized kites with rockets at the end of it and from there we took off into the skies. Along the way I took a look at the moon and I could feel a sinister chill run up my spine it almost made me crash onto the ground. The moment I began to descend I used my wind affinity to raise myself up to meet the girls at sky level.
Asuka: Lucian you okay?!
Lucian: Y-yeah must've dozed off for a bit it won't happen again.
Ikaruga:...
Katsuragi: Are you nervous?
Lucian: Kind of.
Yagyu: Well now's not the time to be nervous...I know it's going to be difficult and we're all afraid but we are our own strengths and shields together we can overcome the impossible.
Lucian:...
Dark Lucian: (Hmph what a joke.)
As we made our way to our destination we stopped by cliffside and saw it Hebijo Clandestine Girls Academy. Immediately I could feel the yoma seal react violently. It felt like an intense wave of evil was flowing into me, I could feel myself going insane just by being near the school but I had to carry out the mission no matter what. The more we walked closer to it the more powerful it's presence was it felt like I was about to drown in a sea of evil. I could feel impulses surging ready to kill anything or anyone that stood in my way. I could only grit my teeth and made a low growling sound in which the girls took notice.
Lucian: Grrr....
Ikaruga: Lucian...are you okay?
I felt like I was about to lose consciousness but I had to be stronger than this.
Lucian: Grrrryeah...I'm doing just dandy....Hebijo Academy huh...well then you have your mission and I have mine. However there seems to be many shinobis guarding certain places so I'll be the one to distract them meanwhile for you girls go in get the id-I mean Hibari, and the scroll then bail. Make sure you leave no survivors because they'll just be a pain to deal with later on.
After I said that the girls all looked at me surprised and I realized what I just said.
Lucian: (This seal I can feel it almost taking over I got to hang on for a while longer.) Sorry just go in get Hibari and the scroll and retreat. Well then time for a mur-chrrrr I mean I'm gonna go.
Ikaruga: Lucian wait!
But it was too late I already left before she could say anything and began to cause a commotion outside Hebijo meanwhile for the girls it's up to them to go inside retrieve both Hibari and the scroll.
Hibari's POV
I couldn't control myself, my body refused to obey me as it was now in the hands of Haruka. She had turned me into one of her dolls and well the experience I have to say was not that great...I thought Katsuragi was a big pervert before but now that I'm being controlled by Haruka and have no free will of my own except being able to speak in my mind. Haruka just pushed Katsuragi out of her league as being a giant pervert. I never felt so violated in my entire life I felt myself drowning in hellish pleasure I can't tell if I'm still pure anymore...I wanted to at least tell Lucian how I feel but I can't present myself to him anymore seeing as how Haruka has tainted me. If Yagyu knew about this she would lose it...I knew that Yagyu harbored feelings for me but I couldn't accept her since I saw her as a sister figure only. I'm scared...I'm afraid of what's going to happen to me....if she keeps this up I don't think I'll make it back with my sanity intact I'll just fall into the abyss of lust.
KH1: Dive to the Heart
It was then I heard a female's voice in my head
???: You won't fall into it.
Hibari: Huh? Who is that?
???: I'm merely someone who wishes to help you in this situation and before you say anything your friends are coming to rescue you. Also it's a good thing he shared some of his power with you albeit unintentionally.
Hibari: He? You mean Lucian? Then...that would mean this is his power of light and if that's the case you must be Byakuya!
Byakuya: So you've heard of me already.
Hibari: Kiriya-sensei and Master Hanzo has told us about you and your younger brother and what happened at the village of Mahoroba although there wasn't much detail to go off on.
Byakuya: I see...so it's existence still remains despite not having much information. Anyways I'm almost about to run out of time to converse with you, I'm using everything in what little power I have to prevent you from succumbing to lust. Listen to me very carefully Lucian is starting to lose more of his sanity because of that infernal yoma seal it's corrupting his mind the more negativity it absorbs and soon he'll end up being like my younger brother. I want to prevent that at all costs but the darkness inside him is too great and it's amplified further with the yoma seal. I can't regulate it in order to heal his mind when he's outside of battle his personality keeps the darkness surpressed however should he enter into a battlefield where negativity reigns supreme his sanity will diminish at an alarming rate.
Hibari: So what now?! They'll be coming here and well with Lucian he'll lose his sanity completely since it's an evil shinobi school.
Byakuya: You must give that power back to him so that he can regain some sort of sense left just simply touch him in order to transfer it back.
Hibari: All right then I'll do it once my body is free.
Byakuya: Thank you and also don't fret about your purity she hasn't claimed it yet.
——————-music ends
Airi's POV before Team Hanzo heads to Hebijo.
Airi: Mission successful the map has been delivered.
Sylvia: Excellent work as always now shall we begin phase 2 of our plan?
Airi: What is phase 2?
Sylvia: Have all of the shinobis at Hebijo Academy submit to me. After all most of them were already given the yoma seal and from what Hikaraya has reported most of them are at the point of no return all they need now is to awaken from my command and thanks to you handing out the map to Hebijo not only will there be one power struggle but two.
Airi: ?
Sylvia: Allow me to explain Hebijo Academy has both of the Super Secret Ninja Art Scrolls. The scrolls from both Hanzo and Hebijo are now in Dogen's possession, with those two scrolls he would become powerful yes but there is a certain cost to achieving that power you must give up your physical body in order to have both powers dwell within that's where I come in. By offering Dogen a vessel he would be able to obtain both powers within himself while still being my servant.
Airi: So you mean to tell me that no matter what Dogen does he's still your pawn despite him having so much power.
Sylvia: Correct as for the vessel he would have to feed on this larvae.
A summoning circle appeared in Milady's hands and a yoma larvae appeared from it as it was writhing about in her arms as she simply cradled it like a baby makes me glad I'm not the one holding it since it looked gross to touch.
Airi: I see now for the next question what's the other power struggle?
Sylvia: Lucian and the Hanzo Girls will be retrieving the scroll my plan is to have Lucian be seperated from the girls so that I can send the Hebijo yomas after him. Knowing him he'll be conflicted on what to do and with the intense negativity that's around Hebijo he's more likely to go insane and unleash the yoma impulses.
In my mind it was a solid plan however there was one question I had in my mind and I knew it would be disrespectful to ask but I had to know.
Airi: Milady I know it's not my place to say this but why is Lucian so necessary in your plans? Why do you want him to join us so badly?
She then gave me an oppressive look for about five seconds to looking at the moon in which a sinister laughter began to emerge from her to then talking normally.
Sylvia: Hehehehe...I suppose I never told you about this have I? I need Lucian because he's two of the keys that's needed to unlock the seal to the other dimension. The only way to do that is by having his darkness become stronger since his light self is already strong to overpower the darkness within him. The yoma seal that I gave him fully taps into his hatred the more he uses it, the more his mind becomes tainted with dark thoughts and I don't just mean impulses to kill people the more he succumbs to it, the more his psychotic nature will be revealed. I lost sight of him once when he was just seven months old, however I managed to find him since he started in the first grade and kept watch over him but I could never approach him. The minute I did anything off to him his parents would know. So I devised a plan where I could get into contact with him and give him some..."inspirational words" so to speak or just give him a little push to trigger his anger. However once he started to enter into 6th grade I lost him once again, however thanks to you and your sister's help you've found him again. Finally after so many years of waiting I've longed for this moment, the child born with both light and darkness affinities will soon be with us. With his power he can unlock the majority of the seals.
Airi: Right but what help can Lucian do? Sure he's strong and it would be great to have him but Lucian being two keys? I don't understand it at all.
Sylvia: There's been a legend lost to time an ancient civilization that has existed yet was sealed away for over a thousand years. In order to break the lunar seal I would require three keys, first would be the lunar eclipse as it is a requirement to start the summoning circle, only when blood and earth dye the moon red can the summoning circle open, the next would be a lake of blood dyed by the twilight's chosen. The final key we need is the twilight himself for he is necessary for this plan to unfold.
Airi: So are you saying that Lucian is two of the keys that's necessary to create this summoning circle? Also what ancient civilization are you talking about?
Sylvia: The Ancient Shinobi Village Mahoroba. It was once part of our world however a single shinobi sealed it away because within Mahoroba a particular power resides there.
Airi: What kind of power?
Sylvia: A power unlike anything you've ever seen by using Lucian I would open the summoning circle to shatter the lunar seal, from Lucian's blood the lake will be dyed red for the arrival of "it" lastly his body. His body will be used as a vessel for the power and from there I can control Lucian and order him to destroy the world, and from his light affinity I can remake the world in my image.
Airi: I see.
Sylvia: Airi you've been with me through this ordeal yet at the same time I question as to why you would aid me in this? I'm wondering what is your motive if we succeed?
Airi: To answer your first question I live only to serve the one who's saved me. My motive is only to serve you and see that your plan goes through.
Sylvia: I see...I wonder once this whole thing is done? Will you leave my side or find a person who you can spend your life with?
I pondered this question for a moment and realized something.
Airi: What will happen to Lucian if he goes through with it?
Sylvia: His soul may likely expire due to the power he'll contain, he'll only exist as a living weapon.
I could only answer sadly now knowing of Lucian's outcome.
Airi: Oh...
Sylvia: Why do you ask?
Airi: Well...please excuse me for being so selfish Milady but do you mind if I have Lucian to be the person who I want to spend the rest of my life with once this is over?
Sylvia: Hmm...a rather interesting question Airi, perhaps I'll find a way for Lucian to have his body and soul stay, once this is all over you and him can be in paradise.
I gave her a small appreciative bow.
Airi: Thank you very much.
Sylvia: No problem, I do believe now's the time to go to Hebijo. Once we approach there we begin our plan.
Airi: Understood.
As we made our way to Hebijo Academy along the way I began to ask Milady a question.
Airi: Milady I would like to ask you something.
Sylvia: Ask away.
Airi: What is the yoma seal? And who is the person that created it?
Sylvia: I invented the yoma seal years ago, it was a means to have the shinobi's power up to have yoma-like capabilities such as incredible strength and speed, however the shinobi council put a stop to it seeing as how it was a complete threat to them and I had to escape because it was a dangerous weapon since then. Using the yoma seal is beneficial but after much experimentation there is a lots of downsides.
Airi: Such as?
Sylvia: For one a person with a strong will tainted in darkness must be able to harness it, if a person doesn't have a strong will to harness it then they turn into a yoma. Second it deteriorates the person's sanity for every use, after much experimentation I soon learned that there was more to the yoma seal than meets the eye. It has certain stages to it meaning that the yoma seal has the potential to evolve however every single time I've witnessed it they instantly die either because the power is too much for the body to contain or their minds just deteriorated into nothing. I have done live experiments in the past to see if anything bears fruit but most of them came up short of the mark. When the yoma seal reaches the second phase the power is incredibly taxing on the person.
Airi: Pardon me for my rudeness but why give us this seal if you know the risks?
Sylvia: It's because you all have the power to overcome it and advance to the second stage. You all have an exceptional darkness locked deep within your hearts however with the yoma seal combined it'll amplify it and from there you'll gain power unlike any other, your teammates and Lucian are truly a unique set.
Airi:...So if we overcome this then what happens will our minds deteriorate?
Sylvia: The seals placed on you is a bit different than what I gave Lucian, I need for his mind to deteriorate slowly that way I can command him to do what I say, you and your teammates however are given a different type of seals one where the side effects aren't too great.
Airi: I see thank you Milady for this generous gift. I'm also hoping for the Hanzo team to eliminate the Hebijo group.
Sylvia: Why is that? Do you have some sort of grudge against them?
Airi: I think it's safe to say each of us and Lucian have a grudge against the Hebijo elite. That puppeteer robbed me and my sister of our happiness. Ghori his parents were killed by the leader of a gang in which she adopted a kid named Hikage. Hikaraya he holds a grudge against Yomi because of what her parents did to him. As for Lucian I'm sure he holds a grudge after the torture placed on him.
Sylvia: How interesting it seems as though Hebijo is trying to connect you five together weird fate right?
Airi: Tell me about it.
Sylvia: I wonder what would happen if Hebijo's Elite and Hanzo's Elite united together to take us down what do you think will happen then?
Airi: We put an end to them.
Sylvia: Such hostility in your voice. However the Hebijo Elite is still our pawns, they will follow my orders obediently...fufufu they don't have a choice.
Airi: I'm wondering why did you choose only Lucian to bear the yoma seal why didn't you give the rest of the Hanzo team yoma seals as well.
Sylvia: Quite simple they all have someone to lean on. Their friendship is tightly knit meanwhile for Lucian's relationship with them it's still building. But that's also not to mention his darkness is also acting as a barrier that prevents most of them from getting closer to him. However that too is starting to dwindle with that black haired girl.
When she mentioned Ikaruga I clenched my fists tightly and spoke her name in disgust.
Airi: Ikaruga...if Lucian's friendship with them becomes close what then?
Sylvia: That won't happen, ever heard the phrase the more light shines, the bigger the shadow it creates.
Airi: I have heard of that somewhat.
As we approached Hebijo Academy I looked to my right and saw Lucian jumping off a cliff however as he was falling I saw that he was holding the right side of his chest.
Sylvia: Looks like the negative presence here is too much for him. His mind is beginning to deteriorate with destructive impulses. Well time for the plan to begin.
As soon as that was said an alarm was rung around Hebijo signaling that an intruder has stepped onto the premises and from there I saw Lucian throwing a bunch of explosive kunais at the main gate blowing it up and he rushed in fending off the shinobi grunts by himself however what he didn't take into account is that I was here and ready to command the grunts to transform. I watched as the Hanzo girls lept off the cliff and entered the school grounds. I could feel the excitement rushing through me of what's to come soon. I looked back to where Lucian was and I saw that he was beginning to slow down quickly it seemed as if the more he fights the more he has to overwork himself in order to defend from attacks.
Airi: Milady do you wish for me to assist Lucian?
Sylvia: Not yet, only if the situation seems severe.
I looked at her bewildered by her response as I looked back down.
Airi: (But isn't this already severe as it is?)
Sylvia:...Heh. Let's kick this up a notch.
I made a hand sign and all of the grunts Lucian had beaten down and killed got right back up much to his surprise.
Lucian's POV
As I leapt off the cliff my mission was to beat the Hebijo grunts giving time for the rest of the team to go in and rescue Hibari. I threw five explosive kunais at the door blowing the front gate open and I rushed inside and started to fight my way through them all, however the overwhelming negative pressure started to slow me.
Lucian: (My body...it's starting to slow down and this impulse I feel like I'm about to snap at any second. Doesn't look like there's an entrance anywhere so if the girls want an entrance here's one.)
I threw two explosive kunais at the wall in the middle of the school causing part of the wall to crumble and make a hole in the wall.
Lucian: (There's their ticket to entry the rest is up to you girls.)
Some of the shinobi grunts threw shuriken and kunais at me in which I deflected however I didn't anticipate the slash at my back. However the last thing I saw was five shadows entering the building.
Lucian: Gragh! Tch dammit...girls you better have both of them otherwise I'm gonna slau-rrgh.
I had to repress what I was about to say and I looked around and saw that there was a bunch of shinobi grunts surrounding me and they all jumped on me.
As if time seemed to slow down when they were about to jump me, I heard my other self speak.
Dark Lucian: (Use it the power of darkness. It's your only option now this is a matter of life or death.)
I thought back to what my other self said and what he said is true but I feel like after this I'm afraid I may never come back but this isn't the time to hesitate.
Lucian: Yeah no choice but to use it now.
Dark Lucian: (About time.)
I began to feel my body pulse, insanity was accelerating in my mind telling me this. "Slaughter everyone, leave no survivors." I then felt myself descend into the depths of insanity.
Dark Lucian: Feh...finally.
I made quick hand signs and used my wind release technique that was repressed by other self's consciousness.
Dark Lucian: Dark Sign: Malicious Cyclone!
A barrier of wind generated around me taking the aura away and spiraled itself into a cyclone and as I saw around me the shinobi grunts that was trying to jump me were all being sliced apart by their own weapons. And the cyclone soon turned crimson red and as the cyclone dispersed itself the blood splattered everywhere showering the grunts that were surrounding me in a rain of blood. I noticed a black aura surrounding me in which it never did that before.
Dark Lucian: (Black aura that's new, must be because of the negative influence around here.) Serves them right. Now then...let's have another one.
I began to weave hand signs in order to make another one of my repressed techniques.
Dark Lucian: (Dark Sign: Dark Blast!)
A dark fireball generated in my right hand and when it was fully charged I threw at one of the grunts causing that grunt to be blasted back by the explosion when it made contact with his body.
Dark Lucian: Hmm...
I looked around and noticed that there were only a few left so I decided to end this by using my spark barrier.
Dark Lucian: Lightning Release: Spark Barrier!
I extended the range of my barrier shocking the grunts that came near it but what I found strange was that they jumped into it which caught me off guard.
Dark Lucian: (Something isn't right. I can feel a lot more negativity and hatred rising from the shinobi but they're all dead there's no way they can be brought back to life.)
It was then much to my shock I saw the grunts get up and the pieces of the other shinobi's that were scattered about began to amalgamate together in order to become one big yoma as I looked around I saw the other shinobi's transforming into yomas any sort of human features are gone all that remains now are mindless beasts or should I say zombified beasts growling and seeking blood.
Dark Lucian: What the fuck is going on? That should be impossible unless....unless...
I turned around cautiously to see if she was nearby but I couldn't see her anywhere. It was then that I saw the yomas begin their assault and I took out two kunais and gave them my lightning and fire affinities to extend their range as I began to slice through the horde however these yomas began using their techniques. Most of them used fireball techniques in which I thought of a great idea. I decided to jump around a lot so that the fireballs would shoot at the sky giving me an advantage for when I use a lightning attack. Other yoma shinobi's began to charge at me however I sliced through them only to be met with a substitution in which I backflipped from that spot.
Dark Lucian: Something's wrong the air feels heavy.
Much to my misfortune I was trapped in a dome of wind and lightning. The pressure of both wind and lightning held me down until I was on all fours like as if I was some sort of animal but that was when I felt a strange sense within me.
*b-dmp,*b-dmp*
Dark Lucian: Ggh! (What's the hell's going on?! My body's pulsing like crazy....The yoma seal on my chest I can feel it getting stronger and stronger!) Grr....gragh! Gruh! *huff,huff*
I can feel my body begin to change, I felt painful vibrations within my body, I could feel my teeth growing sharper, my nails getting longer which soon it turned into claws...I could feel myself getting stronger but at the same time my body was beginning to change I could feel my clothes getting tighter until I heard rips causing my clothes to come off, I felt like my mind was deteriorating by the second. I saw strange blue lines covering my body as if it was some sort of rune or marking and they all had one origin point on the right side of my chest.
Dark Lucian: Grrr....gra...gh the yoma seal....is grrr too STRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
The last thing on my mind was nothing but mindless destruction.
Sylvia's POV
I saw it all, the transformation of Lucian becoming a yoma shinobi but what I found most interesting is that Lucian's yoma transformation was completely different he had become into a hulking monster with sharp claws and teeth with markings that covered his entire body. All that was left now is to see Lucian's yoma form in action. He looked at the other yomas surrounding him and with a giant roar he began to slash through each of the yomas tearing off their limbs or their throats either by using his claws or just using his fangs to bite onto their throats effectively crushing it instantly and I just sat in pure glee seeing the carnage happen. That was when I saw something new, he began to use handsigns and slammed his palm onto the ground and the ground turned into ice as pillars of ice pierced through the yomas and as the yomas were being pierced through he brought them all back down and began to feast on their corpses.
Airi:...Wow that's...uh...something to say the least.
Sylvia: Well to be fair the yoma seal does bring out a person's darkness to the point where they go insane and this is quite the show to watch.
Airi: Right...so how do we revert him back to normal?
Sylvia: Hehe that he'll have to do on his own.
Airi: What?!
Sylvia: The transformation is just the beginning, if he can harness the yoma seal under his control he'll revert back to his old self with some major changes.
A memory from long ago played itself in my mind.
Flashback
In a laboratory hidden deep within the mountains I remember conducting the very first experiment of the yoma seal beginning with a small boy he had phenomenal control of the yoma seal since the darkness in his heart runs rampant he began to transform into a yoma, he began to growl and roar at the top of his lungs, after that he began to break out of the glass which proved futile until a small crack began to show. I was at the edge of my seat and wondered if I had messed up somewhere from there he broke out of his cage and began to thrash around my lab I used a binding technique to restrain him but he was too powerful as he broke through it. As he began to approach me I felt like my life was coming to an end that is until I saw a red mist coming off his body it smelled metallic like blood. As the mist began to spiral itself around the yoma's body all that could be heard was painful howls and roars that is until the mist began to clear up and the boy returned back to normal with some exceptions, the yoma seal branched out into lines forming some sort of rune like structure around his body .
???: Grrr.....hrrrnn....so this is the power of the yoma seal once its tamed.
???: Indeed congratulations you are the first person to have the seal and live to tell the tale, this...this is going to be a good day.
(A/n): There's a reason why Sylvia's name isn't put there.
???: But....what about my sister? How will this help?
???: You can help fight with her, fight against the forces of evil and gain recognition among the people. No longer will you be treated as a monster.
???: R-really?!
???: Why yes.
???: Okay I promise to use this power for good!

Flashback ends
Sylvia: (A splendid test subject that child was. Unfortunately her sister just had to screw it all up!)
Asuka's POV
Thanks to the opening Lucian made we all infiltrated the school and already we were met with other shinobi's, we immediately sprang into action taking down most of them as we ran through however once we reached a set of stairs a metallic bomb was thrown at us.
Katsuragi: I don't think so!
She used her wind to push the bomb back to the thrower only for it to explode before it reached it's target.
Yomi: Wow what a buzzkill if only you hadn't done that you all would've met your ends.
Katsuragi: Shut up! Where's both Hibari and the scroll?
Yomi: Oh you mean our new recruit? She's doesn't need any of you anymore now that Hibari took the scroll she has no reason to return to being a good shinobi after all evil suits her best.
Asuka: That's not true Hibari would never do something like that! It's time you gave our friend back and the scroll.
Yomi: No. I'd rather settle the score with the princess over here.
Ikaruga: As you wish. Yomi it's time you went down.
Ikaruga looked at us and gave a quick, quiet message just so that we can hear before the battle began.
Ikaruga: Listen up I'll handle Yomi I need all of you to move on ahead quickly. Right now Lucian's buying time for us and if we take them one on one our chances may slim since we aren't united as a team. But our chances of advancing progresses and Lucian just might be able to help out if he knocks out a certain number of shinobis.
Yagyu: Agreed our chances may slim on battles but progression in our search is of high importance. In that case I leave her to you good luck.
Ikaruga: Thank you, now I'll create a diversion and trap her in my shinobi barrier once that happens just go on without me.
Asuka: All right.
Katsuragi: You got this!
She quickly charged at Yomi while throwing some shuriken to which Yomi deflected till Ikaruga jumped and clashed her weapon with her's she then kicked Yomi onto the ground and Ikaruga immediately summoned her shinobi barrier casting them both away from the location. We then ran ahead further into the Academy until we felt the ground begin to shift and a trap door opened up causing Katsuragi to push me forward out of the trap door's way causing them both to fall.
Asuka: Katsuragi! Yagyu!
Yagyu: We're okay! Just go and find them!
Katsuragi: We'll be sure to meet up with you later on! We promise!
Asuka: All right!
I continued forward down the hallway while more shinobi got in my way and I quickly knocked them out until I stopped at a dead end. I looked around to see if there were any entryways I decided to investigate to see if I was missing something and after checking each of the rooms where the other shinobi were knocked out I noticed that there are seals in seperate rooms. After releasing the seals I heard something creak at the end of the hall. I peeked out the room and saw a staircase going up.
Asuka: All right time to get them both back.
As I ran up the steps I heard a roar coming from outside but I decided to ignore it and press forward but all the while half of me is worried about Lucian. I want to believe that he makes it out alive and helps out one of our teammates but that one memory replays itself in my head when Lucian was taken over by the yoma seal and slaughtered the other shinobi's. Then one key thing that Lucian said replayed itself in my head.
Lucian: Asuka you wanted to be a great shinobi right? Don't you think Hanzo may have killed before?
That memory hit me hard when it replayed itself in my head, I began to debate if...maybe the only way to win is if we killed the Hebijo girls so that they won't pose a threat anymore. But if we do then we'll be nothing more than murderers but it's to uphold justice as well but taking another person's life is just wrong. Then another memory replayed itself in my head
Lucian: You're trembling in your feet, best find another dream that suits you. With a dream that you're afraid to do the one thing that requires you to attain that goal, it's best to find another dream.)
Asuka: (I feel like he was trying to warn me about this type of situation but question is what do I do?)
Should the Hebijo girls be killed off?
Yes
or
No
This will have a major change in the story once they are killed, that's it there's no going back. Also sorry for the extremely short chapter I know it's not up to my usual long story but as of late I've been feeling more or less having a burnout for Season 1. Ideas for Season 2 keep popping out in my head which thank god I recorded and took notes. But overall I need help on how to deal with the burnout of this story. Don't get me wrong I love this story and everything but the bonfire I normally have isn't there and it's starting to die out so please I ask of you people to give me some advice or strategies to get the imagination of story creation going without the need to be burned out. Rekxyen out!
