I was making my way to Tantekuno's castle where I first saw Kohitsuji. Soren pulled out her spear, ready for anything and Zwyah pulled out his crossbow. I drew my sword and I engulfed it with flame. As we got closer we were stopped by a figure in a suit of armour. It seemed robotic.
"Hello, I am Ekibyō. I assumed you're Demon Summoner Tranque, Dragon Tamer Sorentaku, and Zwyah" He said calmly
"Wait a minute....." Zwyah whispered to himself
"Yes I know it's strange that I knew your names alread-"
"Not That! How come I don't have a cool nickname!?" Zwyah shouted
"My apologies. I couldn't think of a defining trait or ability of your's" Ekibyō stated
Zwyah was just awestruck by that. I swung my sword, creating a big, cresent shaped beam of fire at Ekibyō. When it hit him it completely fizzled out. Soren attacked him with a great stream of energy and that disappeared too! Zwyah came back to his senses and shot a bolt of fire and lightning at him, no effect!
"I have already planned out the outcome of this battle. I have designed this armour to shun out any of your attacks and according to my research you all lack to physical strength to take off even a small piece" Ekibyō said
"Even if you did have the strength to do so I can still counteract. You see this glass doesn't just help me see. It let's me analyze you, figure out your age, past, everything, including what you'll do withing the next ten seconds" Ekibyō finished
I rushed at him swinging my sword wildly. Ekibyō put his hand on my chest on shot a beam of energy right through me. It was a small beam but I still hacked up blood and stumbled back. Ekibyō summoned a black sword out of the crevices of his fingers. He didn't move so I didn't either. I sent a blast at him and it fizzled out so I teleported behind him and struck him. Ssssskkkkkkkrrrrreeeet! My sword had no effect. He elbowed me in the same spot were he blasted me, sending me flying back.
Soren and Zwyah attacked together and it still did nothing. He beat both of them up with little effort. I tried to manifest that Cerberus form from before but I failed. I put used that Mark power up and Zwyah saw me and did the same. Soren entered her Yin and Yang form and we all rushed at him. He instantly took down Zwyah and I but it took two hits to take out Sorentaku. I summoned the giant demon knight. I tried to swing at him but he cut it in half with one swing.
I summoned it again but then I fused with it and restrained Ekibyō with the chain. The hands came out my chest and started creating a ball of energy. I shot at him and even that didn't work. I channeled that demon energy and activated my Cerberus form. I dashed at him and he retracted his sword, grabbed my left wrist and shoulder and pushed me to the ground with my arm behind my back. He started charging a blast. Wwwwwwhhhhhhhiiiirrrrr! Zeeeeooooow! He shot the beam right at my neck causing a great explosion. The ground rumbled. Then an idea clicked in my head. I had a Gramny granola bar in my pocket and I gave it to Zwyah, reached out but then Ekibyō accidentally blasted it to bits.
"That won't matter" Ekibyō said
A black substance Engulfed half of both his arms, His head which was transformed into that of a fox, he gained a tail, wings, and half of his legs were also engulfed by the black substance. Everybody felt an immense pressure as Zwyah lifted his head back. He left out a huge screech but Ekibyō remained calm and wasn't phased. He summoned his sword and rushed at Ekibyō. Zwyah grabbed his arm but his sword changed hands and he stabbed Zwyah. Zwyah grabbed the arm he stabbed him with and he screamed right in his face. Ekibyō quickly ran back and was tired.
Since Ekibyō had his head down Zwyah struck him with all his might and he didn't dodge or block it.
"Wait does this mean?....." Zwyah thought to himself
He rushed back and rallied Soren and I.
He whispered to us his plan and we all got into position. Zwyah stood there with his head tilted back.
"Hmph"went Ekibyō
after 10 seconds passed he instantly screamed into the ground causing it to break and block Ekibyō's sight. Zwyah dashed at Ekibyō and punched him in the chest with both fist then screamed causing almost all of the upper chest armour to break, including the helmet and glass. Soren went behind him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. There were rocket boosters on his leggings and heels but Soren clogged the ones on her heels and pushed back, causing Ekibyō more pain. I lifted up my sword and sent a giant fire attack right at his chest.
Ekibyō's armor suit retracted into a tiny chip in his palm. The chip disappeared as Ekibyō started growling. His muscles expanded, The band that held his hair together popped, He grew from 5'6 up to about 7 feet tall, his sword turned red, His eyes glowed with anger. He headbutted Soren in the face so hard he broke her nose, Then his aura grew and it was so intense that is blasted Soren off of him.
He grabbed Zwyah's face and slammed him into the ground. I sent a powerful attack his way and he blocked it with his bare hands. I scurried away but he was already right behind me. He threw a punch and I quickly dodged it but then he unballed his fist, With the same hand grabbed my hair, Threw me into his knee, Kicked me with the same leg three times, First kick was in my stomach, Second kick was to my cheekbone, Then the third was to the back of my neck, He then stabbed me in the chest, Put his arm back, Then threw me while sending a bright red energy blast.
I crashed to the ground feeling.....sick. I felt like I was about to throw up, My vision was getting blurry, I was violently shaking, I felt colder and colder by the second. I was blacking out, Soren got enraged and rushed at Ekibyō. She jabbed at him but he grabbed her spear and smacked her aside her head knocking her far away then he threw the bottom of the spear at her chest.
Zwyah fired a giant beam of black energy at Ekibyō's back. He completely ignored it and he threw a blast back at him, Completely destroying Zwyah's attack. Zwyah barely managed to dodge the attack. Ekibyō grabbed Zwyah by the neck and threw him. Zwyah managed to bring himself to a stop. Ekibyō rushed at Zwyah, reverted into his normal self and dashed away. I felt like I was dying, Zwyah took the spear out of Soren's chest and it as ammunition for his crossbow. Ekibyō sent a giant blast at Zwyah.
"Released, Shotgun Spear-Bolt!" Zwyah shouted as he shot Soren's spear at Ekibyō
It was Shielded with a radiant blue energy. The attack pierced through Ekibyō's. He wrapped his hand with a red energy and punched the attack in an attempt to stop it. He was failing so he retracted his sword and used his other hand. He was pushing the bolt back! With what little strength she had Soren got up, Went behind Ekibyō, Wrapped up his arms and tanked the attack.
"I....Failed?.....How?..." Ekibyō thought to himself as he was engulfed by the blast.
All that was left was Sorentaku and Ekibyō lying on the ground. Zwyah rushed to Soren and checked to make sure she was okay and..........Her eyes.....Why are they so dark?
