All that is seen are 4 men on the floor 2 are knocked out and the 2 other ones are almost dead in front of them is Zack Yoshikage holding Uiharu and Cloud Kenshin carrying Saten the next is Seth Matou with Lily and then there is a young man with White hair carrying a young girl with blonde hair
Now you may be wondering how this happened as the snow is falling and a crowd is cheering from very far away this was supposed to be a normal Christmas day well normal in the academy city term but no new age doesn't rest not even during Christmas as they have no families
Zack is seen spending time with Uiharu as well as Anna and Rinka both of the girls have gotten famous as they are 2 girls who act completely opposite of each other and when things happen they act like the other they have happen to be called the sisters of fate
Anyways the four of them were walking when they saw a silhouette of a person when the darkness faded they saw a young boy a year younger than Zack the same age as Chinami this boy was named Shin Schwarzer Sakai but everyone calls him Rean the oldest son of Yin Sakai and a wielder of the sword style called eight leaves one blade
Shin Schwarzer Sakai or known as Rean
Rean: hey Zack how are you
Zack: doing just fine how is everything with Chinami she seems to enjoy your company
Rean: if your joking don't it makes me feel self conscious but anyways its going well I'm planning on getting her something for Christmas hey Uiharu is it ok if I borrow Zack for a bit
Uiharu: sure I'll be around Zack so please come whenever you finished
Zack just nods his head and Uiharu, Anna and Rinka all left as Rean just sighs in relief
Rean: ok good I need some advice with something
Zack: let me guess you want advice on how to confess to Chinami
Rean: It's scary how perceptive you are sometimes but even with your perception we still haven't beaten my father yet but yea I want advice on that I don't want to do anything to bring her harm after what has happened to her before
Zack: yea that's gonna be a problem she has been through a lot even resorting to trying to bury her past by killing me but I believe she means well as you should know
Rean: Yea she saved me a long time ago that was around when I first activated my magic and I also used the Vow you made for it as well
Zack: I see well give her something you know she will like she wants a normal life so treat her like a normal girl
As Zack said that a portal appeared out of nowhere and out of it came a man who was the same age as Zack he is Seth Matou the second half of the wild card also known as the Crimson Card or Kusanagi
Seth: hey what are we talking about
Zack: Girls Seth I know you have Lily but are you going to show her a good Christmas
Seth: Am I really that obvious well doesn't matter yea she has never experienced something like this I might even have to courage to talk to her
Rean: Who are you talking about wait a minute no wonder you looked familiar your Seth the older brother of Luna Yamato right?
Seth: yep you got me I haven't met her since I left to get stronger I should but I don't know how I should talk to her
???: Just be honest with yourself that's the best way to reunite with a good friend or sibling
There also came a man with black hair wearing a white jacket and a black shirt also wearing white pants with fingerless gloves looking a couple months older than Zack this boy is Cloud Kenshin the Azure Lightning also known as the Savior
Seth: easy for you to say now knowing that Saten always hangs around you she even helps you with chores
Zack: Now that you mention it she has been rather close to you Cloud
Rean: I even saw you two kiss I do wonder what exactly led to that
Everyone except for Cloud was shocked that Cloud the kid who lives in the past is the one of the 4 of them who is ahead in terms of relationships
Cloud: ok first off I don't even ask sometimes there have been once or twice where I asked if we can go on dates bu-
Seth: wait you are already on that level of going on dates with your beloved
Cloud: well yea but the kiss was what did she call it my punishment for my team losing the Daihasei festival
Zack: what the fuck man, how the fuck mine was to be a female member of judgement
Then they all look at him then they all laughed even Zack did
Cloud: what was she thinking about that one to have to crossdress as a judgement member I mean Saten did persuade me to wear a female outfit as well
Rean/Zack/Seth: what how in the hell you not only took her out on dates, kissed her, and she forced you to cross dress as well??!!
Cloud: yep well the truth is we are actually dating but no one really knows so if you could keep it a secret that would be very much appreciated
They all just nod their heads after a while Zack texts Uiharu that it is going to take longer than usual to finish what he is doing so they should just go ahead without him
As they started talking more then something unexpected happened a magic circle surrounded them and transported them to a building of some sorts
Rean: the hell is this
???: Now Commencing the first 3 of 4 trails
They all stopped to think what could that mean the first of 4 trails like it's a test there were two doors and both doors were open rean went with Cloud to one door and the wild cards went toward the other door as they went in
Zack and Seth's side was a area that looked like a schoolhouse and Cloud and Rean's area had a look of a broken and ghost town as there are places in the place that are out of place
Zack and Seth
Zack: well this is not what I expected my Christmas to be spent on
Seth: same here well this is gonna be a long time
They then started to travel the area it wasn't long when they realized that there is something in their back pockets they find a strange device it looks like a traditional phone but it has orbs in them
Zack: the hell is this
Seth: the words Arcus is seen here what could that mean
Zack: No idea lets just- hold on let's try something on the device there is a feature called linking
As seen there are features one is communication another is linking and the last is orbal energy
As they both pressed linking a line between the two orbal devices then two monsters appeared when Zack attacked him it was brought to its knees then
Zack: it's down
Seth: this is the end
Then Zack finished it
Zack: your done
Then the monster was defeated then Seth charged at the remaining monster as he punched it he said
Seth: burn to flames
Then his fist that was connected to the monster still then caught flames and burned the monster
Seth: Zack let's finish this
Zack: you got it
Seth made a sword and slashed the monster and Zack just punched the monster with a bright light shining around him then the monster just died
Seth: not bad Zack thanks for the help
Zack: say that when we are truly safe
Then they thought about what happened
Zack: well that was extremely bizarre what was that
Seth: no idea but it let us link with each other and helped us to fight as a team
Zack: you got that right these things are very helpful we can even fight well as a team well let's keep going
As they kept going they saw that the monsters that were roaming around were essentially protecting their territory as they attacked anyone who got close and when they got far away enough they left them alone
Zack and Seth were just taking out the monsters and moving around the building when it eventually got to a double sized door and there waited a Gargoyle that attacked them using their devices and wild card abilities they were somehow able to defeat it when it got back up
Seth materialized two gunblades when Zack was able to make a two handed great sword Seth was able to cut its wings and Zack cut off its head then the monster just fell over and turned into purple ash
Seth: that was a long fight I'm surprised that it was able to get back up with the attacks of the wild card and the linking making us stronger
Zack: well it looks like it just dissapeared like it never existed so I think it's gone for good
When he said that a door appeared on the far side of the room as they went in they saw a door looking like its barely held on in the middle of the door is a large red gem
Seth: doesn't look like that door will open just yet
Zack: guess we just gotta wait till the other two get here
Cloud and Rean
In the place Cloud noticed the device and upon realizing that Rean took his out and was surprised
Rean: what the hell these are Arcus Units
Cloud: you know about them Rean
Rean: Yea there made with the collaboration between Mishima City, Academy city, and the English puritan church it uses a type of energy called orbal energy to communicate with others and let's you link with other Arcus holders you can change the orbs in the Arcus as well
Cloud: of course she helped in making this I swear that bitch is too involved in these kinds of things
As they went a shadow like monster attacked them as they connected Rean was able to knock it down and yelled
Rean: Let's go it's down
Cloud: die
Cloud then imagined a weapon when a 8 bit like weapon pierced the monster and sent it on the floor
Cloud: let's finish this Rean
Rean: right
Rean was able to slash it as Cloud was able to use a pistol to shoot it and it then just dropped dead
Cloud: your all getting stronger I'm impressed
Rean: you say that as you outdo all of us
They then put their weapons away
Cloud: so that's the power of linking gotta say they did a good job
Rean: this is actually my first time using one I've only heard about it that's it
Cloud: yea that would make sense but we are wasting enough time let's go
Rean: Right
As they started moving the enemies started to look more dangerous and started attacking more as they were moving and fighting Rean started asking Cloud some things
Rean: your Cloud Kenshin right the Azure Lightning of the Amaksa Church
Cloud: you know your stuff kid but how do you know about that could it be Yin that told you
Rean: I should have expected you to figure it out yea but he told me you haven't done the divine blade trail yet may I ask why
Cloud: it has to do with my past long ago I ran from an organization but let the project they made go free
Cloud: as part of the project I feel like it was my duty to stop it and help my friend who is under it's influence once I stop that project then I will feel worthy to take the Divine Blade Trail who knows you might become a divine blade before I do
Rean: wow i didn't know about that but I'm scared of my magic that's why I'm still a beginner
Cloud: spirit Unification the ability to connect yourself with your spirit making them act as one and giving you strength as you also have the ogre power
Rean: yea I don't know what will happen my ogre power leaks out every time I see Chinami hurt and I don't want to hurt anyone I hold dear to me
Cloud: No matter what happens just be yourself there are some choices you have to make and no matter what be sure to remember your bonds with your friends
Rean then bowed his head and killed a monster in one move and he raised his head and smiled
Rean: thanks Cloud I think I understand better and my feelings will be a good thing to keep I hope you find your peace soon
Cloud: yes I do too
They then arrived to a huge door and arrived and saw a Huge golem as they were attacking it Rean changed his sword to Flames and attacked him it caused a good amount of damage to it
Cloud is seen with one purple eye and own blue eye and he pulls 2 sharp swords one fully black and the other is Blue the night sky sword and the blue rose sword
"Well then let's begin I am he and he is I ,we stand together as one for we are the same being"
He then slashed one enemy with one slash then should normally kill a man and he does to the others as well he then move in an unbelievable speed as he slashes his enemies so much and the shape of it you can see a star
"We stand as one for if one should fall the other will as well"
He then concentrates and his blades get a aura of every element he then does multiple slashes then he places the blades in front of him as every element start to circle around his enemies
"Now and forever we stand together in love and in hate, this is the world I yearn for a world protected by the stars one that aligns with the truth"
Then they all cause an explosion combining together as a black and white explosion fills the area
"Requiem of the Eclipse"
After he did that the Golem then died and turned to ash
Cloud: well that's that
Rean: yea that was also a good move
Cloud: same to you
The door also opened for them and then they all reunited with each other as the huge door opened
???: Now Commencing the final trail
As they went through what they saw was a straight path holding monsters as they defeated them and kept going they found one final door
Rean: well this seems like a dangerous door
Seth: well any one of us have regrets
Zack: Seth please shut up we are going to get through this
Cloud: Yea we still have people waiting for us we can't keep them waiting forever let's do this
When they made it through what they saw was different than anything else what was seen was a hill with swords stabbed onto the hill with nothing but the swords when Cloud felt a presence of a supernatural being when they all turned to face it they saw something that was both dangerous and terrifying
???:Thy name is Loa Kamito prove thou worth with the strength of humanity
Then a bright light shined then cloud's eyes one shined one transformed purple and the other turned blue
Cloud: My name is Cloud Kenshin also known as the Azure Lightning
Then Zack and the others did the same as Zack's eyes were light green, Seth had bright red Eyes and Rean's hair turned white and his eyes were crimson red
Zack: I am Zack Yoshikage the Unknown Actor
Seth: I am Seth Matou Yamato the Crimson card or also known as Kusanagi
Rean: I am Shin Schwarzer Sakai also known as Rean but Call me the Ashen Cavalier
All 4: let's go we will show the the strength of humanity and what it can do
As they started attacking the creature as it started to charge up an attack cloud traced a very specific sword one that acted as a whip and a sword he grabbed onto his head and pulled him down
Then Seth then filled his body with flames and attacked the beast then he made a gun from the flames and shot him 5 times
Rean: My Blade shall Cleave Ignorance and guide the way
And he slashed the creature a couple slashes after that he sheathed his blade
Rean: Termination Slash Dawn
After an explosion erupted and injured it then Zack looked at it and said
Zack: ready everyone
Everyone: very well let's do this
Zack: Oh rise great towers
As he said that 4 towers erupted surrounding Kamito they all charged up energy and soon there was a huge orb as shots surrounded it and soon they all hit it and then they all said
4 heroes: Imaginary Testament
The orb hits the ground enveloping Loa Kamito as they all said "Rest in peace, you won't be forgotten"
Loa: You have passed the trail you shall be transported back to where you were only an hour has passed where you are take this as proof of your completion of the trail
As it said that they were all given a Orb of some kind and they were all transported back to where they were when they checked the time it indeed was only an hour later than when it happened
Then they heard screams and saw 2 scientist and 2 mages when they looked closer they saw that Uiharu, Saten, Lily, and Chinami were captured by them
???: Zack Yoshikage show yourself
Zack show up in front of him and says
Zack: hey dipstick what you need so badly that you kidnap 4 innocent girls and if you value your life leave them alone
???: we will not stop until the ritual of the great twilight is complete
The scientists the pulled a gun and aimed it at Zack
Scientist: so I'll ask once or she will die where are the abominations
Then all that was seen was basically a massacre even the rest of the boys joined in and attacked them as they were caught they all went their separate ways
With Zack and Uiharu
Zack: I'm sorry it's kinda my fault that happened
Uiharu: I know you mean well and I said that I trust you so no matter what I'll keep trusting you
Zack: thanks where are they anyways
Uiharu: they are with Mrs. Lea
Zack: oh good let's go then
Uiharu: wait
Zack: huh
She then went forward and kissed him after a while they separated and Uiharu walked forward ahead of him
Uiharu: thanks for standing up for me
With Cloud and Saten
Cloud: so what were you doing there anyways
Saten: I can't talk about that yet
Cloud: alright fine I won't ask but I will ask you to be a bit more careful
Saten: you worry to much
Cloud: you literally acted as a decoy holding a bunch of bombs made my Frenda if I knew any better I would think you have a death wish
Saten: that's besides the point anyways what about you
Cloud: huh
Saten: you still live in the past right so let me help you live for the future let me give you courage so you can stop what you couldn't before
Cloud then realized something something he should have a long time ago a while ago he met two people a man and a woman it's where he got the name C from
Cloud just kneeled down to one knee and said these words
Cloud: No matter what happens I will protect you with all my life even if I lose something in return cause losing something small is nothing compared to losing you
Cloud: I am a soldier nothing more and nothing less so let me help you achieve whatever goal you need
Saten was just stunned by what just happened but she got up and kneeled to him and kissed him on the forehead
Saten: very well I'll do everything in my power to make sure we get the peace we deserve you'll help too right?
No one said anything but in the background there was a woman who looked like a maid as she spoke
???: I will do as you say lady Saten and I shall help as much as I can Master Cloud
Cloud: thank you Zeta
The woman known as Zeta then dissapeared not without saying
Zeta: I'm glad to be of service to you and Master Cloud do take care of Lady Saten
Cloud: yea I hear you don't worry I will
Then there is silence
Seth and Lily
Seth: so how are you holding up
Lily: I'm doing fine all things considered
Seth: well then come on let's go
Seth kept on his promise and showed Lily around town for Christmas and let's just say she was excited and was happy about all this
Lily: thanks for taking me here I still feel like I'm burdening you with this
Seth: don't worry about it anyways I'm glad you had fun it's not everyday we get some free time
Lily: that is true as the Dark Falz have been appearing more lately we need to get back soon or "She" will get mad
Seth: about that can you tell her I'll be late I have something that I will make right
Lily: oh ok please be safe
He then soon left through a portal
With Shin and Chinami
Shin: hey sorry that I wasn't there for you despite promising I would
Chinami: ...
Shin: if you don't want me here just say the word I'll see myself out from your life it won't affect me much
Chinami looked at Shin and saw him shaking probably from thinking that she would hate him she was shocked about the fact that he thinks she hates her
Chinami: oh Rean it's not that
Chinami proceeded to hug him trying not to let him see her tears as she doesn't want him to worry about her
Chinami: I'm sorry for doing all this to you even when I lost control you tried everything to get me back and I almost killed you
Rean: Oh yea kinda forgot about that when you were like that I tried to see if letting you hit me would work and I think it did
Chinami: now that I cleared that up what happened
Rean: don't worry about that after all it involves your stepbrother come on let's go
Shin takes Chinami all around the city and shows her a overall fun time then it happens they stop at a overlooking hill
Rean: I remember when I first saw you you changed my look on life
Chinami: then we made that group a lot of people joined we even had ms. Sara to join didn't think she was a mage though
Rean: same but anything is possible with That happening
Chinami: True I have always wanted to live like a normal girl and that group made that possible you did as well
Rean: then let me say how I really feel
Then Rean transformed to his other form
Chinami: Rean?
Rean: I always valued our friends and saw a positive outlook on life but there are some things on life I just don't understand so could you help me understand them like for example love and relationships
Chinami: do you really mean that
Rean then just kissed her and he went back to normal
Rean: does that answer you question
Chinami: of course it does I'm glad I thought my feelings were one sided I started to realize my feelings after Zack helped me
Rean: I see well I guess I gotta thank him for this and I hope we can can stay like this for a little longer
Chinami: I would like that very much
She said as they stood together for a couple of minutes until Rean got a message from Zack saying
"Hey I know your still spending time with Chinami but I want to talk to you about something it's kinda important I'll send you the location on where to go"
Rean: sorry Chinami but I have to go
Chinami: ah it's fine I got to spend time with you so I'm happy
Rean: ah ok I'll see you later
As Rean was heading to an area he was sent on where to go in the area he sees Zack as well as another person his age was also seen
Zack: good you made it also this is an old friend of mine his name is Rin Hikari he is going with us for this Rin this is Shin Sakai the son of Yin Sakai
Rean: so what exactly is this thing you need our help in
Zack: You ever hear of Mishima City
( yo I fucking kept my promise I made last year lmao last year I said that I would make a Christmas chapter for a wandering swordsman but I changed for it to be in Unknown actor I would have never done that if not for an amazing friend of mine you may know him as the guy who did A certain Code Vader Zzz-Awakening if it wasn't for him I definitely wouldn't have worked on this story one bit and I probably wouldn't have worked on any of my other stories and I will be doing a stream tomorrow not sure what I will play but we will cross that bridge when we get there)
