Chapter 13 - THE SHADOW KINGDOM MAKES ITS MOVE

Chapter 13

At the abandoned cathedral.

Cecilia was walking through the altar reading a book,a dark portal opened on the hall, as she turned around cessiar came out of it.

"Where were you cessiar…"

"I brought someone",he moved aside, a man wearing a white coat and glasses came out of the portal, "meet Dr. isaac, he's a biological engineer and has an advanced knowledge about this world."

Cecilia crossed her arms and scoffed, "so you brought a nerd, big desl cesssiar."

Dr.Isaac wlak forward fixing his glasses and responded to her, "if i may miss cecilia, I'm far more than just a nerd if you look at me that way...you see my research doesn't just focus on biotechnology, I'm also in the breakthrough of re-creating one of the most powerful creature in the universe…the bahamut."

"I see… I'm sorry to desapoint you Dr. but the creature you're trying to bring was destroyed thousands of years ago." Cecilia replied with a mocking smile.

"That's what history wants you to think…but recently I've made an interesting discovery."

Cecilia's smirk when away as the dr. Kept talking.

"On one of my many expeditions we found a temple hiden underneath a cave, as we followed the trail down we managed to enter inside and found hieroglyphics on the wall mentioning a very powerful dragon like creature that was presumed to be destroyed, we kept reading the walls until we found another hieroglyphs that mentioned that the creature before it died, he threw a fireball at a mountain, the fire ball then was completely covered by the rock and got sealed away."

Cecilia mumble to herself, "the fire soul crystal…"

"And after months of searching my drones found it…

"What!?…that's impossible…whare is it?"

"After my drones found it they took the gem to my secret laboratory where it remains until the day I awaken it."

"You're messing with powers beyond your understanding…that thing is not a source of power its an egg."

"I already know cecilia, cessiar told me everything, and I figured that i need the DNA of a demon to modify its genetic code, and with my advanced technology i will bring it back to life…more power and more destructive than ever."

"When are you humans gonna learn that you can't control everything.."

"Look miss cecilia i didn't came here to get lecture by anyone…i came here because i made a deal with your brother."

Cecilia looked at cessiar then looked at the Dr., "what kind of deal…"

"To help you get rid of the Roses of course….cessiar told me everything about them and to be honest there is one in particular that always gets in my way…"

"Is that so…well tell me Dr. how do you plan on taking them down..go ahead enlighten me."

"Whit this, the Dr. showed a shadow creature wearing a high tech armor, "this is a high tech armor that increases the shadow demon's speed and strength, it's metallic structure is resistant to any attack that thise brats my cause on them, plus it has one special ability that will come in handy."

Cecilia crossed her arms, "oh really…what kind of special ability you're talking about."

"It's a surprise my dear cecilia, this will help them take the girls and bring them to our knees, oh and one more thing…this armor also protects them from the sun's light."

Cecilia kept quiet and inspected the shadow demons new upgrades."

"Why don't i give you a demonstration about it's power, i've took the liberty of giving this upgrade to 30 of your creatures and their ready to attack, by the time they try to make a move this creature's will have destroyed them for good, but i won't say another i'll just go." The Dr. entered the portal onces again and left.

Cecilia look at cessiar annoyed and said to him, "i never gave you permission to ask gor any help especially some human who clearly doesn't know what his doing."

"What are you talking about sis, did you see how cool those demons look whit that armor let's just see how things play out."

"I'm not talking about the shadow demons looks, I'm talking about the bahamut, if that fool awakens it this will only make things worse for both of us."

"Oh don't worry about that..it's all part if my plan."

"I hope you're right cessiar." She walk to the hall.

The next day in the garden

Yuki decided to train Hiro outside the garden.

"Come on Hiro hold your ground and stand of straight, remember a good posture will help you defend yourself in case of an attack."

"I'm trying yuki", said Hiro trying to focus.

Yuki got into a defense stance, "ok now strike me like i showed you."

"Right", Hiro took a deep breath and ran forward holding a wooden sword, hes eyes were locked on her, he gripped the wooden sword and jumped forward swinging it, as the wooden sword got close to her yuki blocked the attack then pushed Hiro back as she strike him on the side making him fall.

"Your attack was on point but you swing your weapon to slow…remember at this moment i am not your teacher i am your target so i want you to hit me as hard as you can."

Hiro got into a fighting stance breathing hard.

Yuki once again got into a defensive position, "now come again and give it all you got."

Hiro closed his eyes and lowered his sword.

"Hiro, what's wrong?"

"I….i can't do this."

Yuki walk to him, "what's the problem Hiro?"

"What if i do something wrong, what if i do something that puts all of you in danger, what if I'm not strong enough."

Yuki put her katana away and smiled at him, "those were the exact same words I said when i first began to train, i spent more time crying than training, always thinking about what would happen if i wasn't strong enough, you know what i did, i use that fear to push myself forward, training every day non stop, not just my skills but also my mind, Hiro as long as you keep those fears inside of you they will take control and you will never become stronger, i know your worry about us, and you should use that to make yourself stronger, take control of your fears and use it to push yourself forward like i did i know you can."

Hiro smiled at yuki grasping his wooden sword, thank you yuki that's the motivation i needed it."

"No problem Hiro we are warriors so we must keep an eye on each other…also your my student so I'm supposed to help you as much as i can so what do you say…shall we continue?"

Momo came running looking for both of them, "you guys are not gonna believe what's happening in TV!!…come everyone is inside."

Hiro,yuki and momo when back to the house. As they got to the living room the rest of them were watching the TV in shock.

"What is going on!?" Ask yuki.

Kana pointed at the TV, "look at the news,"all of them saw the news and the reporter was talking about some strange creatures attacking the town, the people where running scared as the streets where full of cops trying to take control of the situation.

Iris immediately recognized the creatures and spoke, "are those….the shadow demons!?…but how they are vulnerable to sunlight ."

Asuka stud up, "we have to go and stop them before they cause more damage to them."

"I agree we have to go now." Kaori also replied.

Hiro stepped forward, "I'll go to."

Yuki placed her hand on his shoulder, "I'm sorry Hiro but this time i need you to stay here it's to dangerous."

"Yuki i'm not going to just sit around while all of you get hurt,…yoy were right about something, if i want to become much stronger i have to face my fears…so i am going whether you like it or not."

"Fine Hiro but you must do what i say ok?" Hiro nodded.

"Kazumi takes to where the demons are", iris said.

Kazumi then used her spell to transport them out of the garden and into town,as soon as they got there the streets were covered by burning cars and people screaming.

"Ok lets hurry to where the shadow demons are." Iris said to them, all of them responded and rush to where the destruction was occurring, they stopped in midway as the shadow demons appeared walking towards them wearing their metallic armor, "so that's how they can come out during day time", iris said.

Kaori looked around and saw that there were still people around trying to hide, "this is bad!"

"What's wrong kaori". Ask asuka.

"If we don't pull this people out of this place there going to get seriously hurt!!".

"You're right, ok listen up… "yui take momo,akari and kazumiand help this people get out of here as soon as possible, the rest of us will cover you".

"What about me, what can i do." Ask Hiro.

"Go with them in case the get attacked".

Hiro nodded, "please be careful" , they all left to help the townspeople.

Iri's eyes began to glow royal blue as she spoke to the rest of them, "ready to show this monsters the power of the deadly roses!?", all of them got into a fighting stance, "THEN LETS DO THIS!!!".

"Ok herr i go first!!", said niko pushing forward grasping her mallet, dashing side to side she use all of her strength to swing the mallet hitting one of the shadow demons so hard that it send it flying to a building breaking the wall with it, "to ease who's next!!", out of the rubbles the shadow demon got back up, "what the!?… "but I smacked the living creap out if it how the hell he got up so fast!?"

Kana crossed her arms and replied, "maybe if you spent more time training instead of eating you could've have more impact to it…".

" 💢💢💢"

"Now its not the time for that, lets focus". Asuka said to them.

Lily took a step forward body sparkling with electricity while having her hand on her katana, "…my turn…", eyes locked on them she took a deep breath and with extreme speed she dash to them, lily was so fast that the shadow demons couldn't keep up, she took her katana out coverd with electricity and swung it over them cutting 4off them, she jumped back to the girls and slowly put her katana back to the side, the shadow demons fell to the ground in multiple pieces, seconds later they started to regenerate and got up like if nothing happened, lily was in shock.

"What is going on there weren't this strong before". Said iris confused and angry at the same time.

Aduka eyes started to hlow dark yellow as a her body began to generate heat, "let's see if they can regenerate after this…" she began to chant,. "I CALL UPON THE POWER OF FIRE, IGNITED THE DARKNESS, AND LET THE POWER OF THE FLAMES BURN MY ENEMIES AWAY AND GUIDE ME TO VICTORY !!!, "MYSTIC ARTS, FIRE STYLE,"RISING PHOENIX", out of the sky a blazing fire Phoenix flew to them and burned them all making a huge explosion, as they smoke cleared the demons began to slowly regenerate once more, "damn it all, this doesn't make any sense, there has to be a weakness to them!!".

Iris took a deep breath and spoke, "there is and we are going to find it, so let's keep going."

At his secret laboratory Dr.isaac was laughing while looking at the fight through hes monitor, "if you think that your silly little magic trick can stop them than you must be more delusional than i thought, this is the beginning of your demise…so accept your fate..!"

Kaori swung her scythe but it wasn't doing any effect. "I don't think this is working."

"We are not done beating yet." Asuka replied.

"You're right it might seems hard but there's always away". Kana replied while holding her katana.

"I'm gonna smack the into next week!!" Niko said pointing at them.

"That's the attitude niko, now let's go and take care of them onces and for all", holding their weapons the rush to them.

Inside a room someone was watching the fight through a monitor, that same person turn off the monitor and walked out of the room.

She grabbed her bustersword and walk out of the room.

Honda sopke through an intercom, "are you ready?"

"Affirmative…now open the hatch".

"Ok, now remember the equipment you have is new so try not to damaged it like last time", Honda opened the hatch, the airship was hovering over the city, "it's open.."

She turned them equipment on and at hollow scouter apeard infront of her eyes.

"Good luck…Genesis."

Genesis look down at the city, "mission start…" , she jumped out from the airship straight to the fight.
