Chapter 69 - Naraku vs Weiso

"Miike!!"

[Isha]

"We have to get out of here."

[Naraku]

"We can't leave Crystal in there!"

[Obitiga]

"Why don't you guys try and break down the door, we'll hold off these Mimics."

[Isha]

Sending out a flurry of arrows Naraku begins to create a line, keeping the mimics at bay. With several people behind him now trying their best to break down the barrier the Triplets created.

"How's it going?"

[Obitiga, With the mimics slowly crossing the line]

"Still having trouble here!"

[Carnival Attendant 1]

"What about if we try making our way over the barrier?"

[Carnival Attendant 15]

"It looks like it doesn't reach all the way to the top of the building."

[Carnival Attendant 8]

"Yeah, it looks like it."

[Carnival Attendant 1]

"Does anyone know any levitation spells? Or is strong enough to toss us up."

[Carnival Attendant 15]

"I can try to leap up there?"

[Carnival Attendant 3]

"Just hurry, I'll keep trying to stop them."

[Naraku, panicked]

Naraku then brings all his attention back to the mimics. Activating a spell he called Catalyst. Naraku began to create moving ice sculptures of himself. Once fully formed they began to create arrows for themselves. Sending them off in concessions they not just kept the group of mimics at bay but were actually able to push them back.

"Yes! I made it."

[Carnival Attendant 3]

"What does it look like up there?"

[Carnival Attendant 15]

"Are you able to get through the barrier?"

[Carnival Attendant 1]

"No it looks like it goes into the walls even."

[Carnival Attendant 4]

"What about if you fire at it from there?"

[Carnival Attendant 12]

"I don't have any skills for attacking."

[Carnival Attendant 2]

"So it looks like we are on our own."

[Carnival Attendant 1]

"We've got to defeat these Triplets if we want out."

[Naraku]

Replacing one of his now melting clones, Obitiga and Isha began to help out Naraku. Isha being a Crusader stayed as close as possible to Naraku clones for assistance.

"Look at them, trying to protect the rest of the crowd."

[Jiga]

"We should hurry this up. I am getting a bit hungry."

[Weiso, as his tummy grumbles]

"What were you thinking?"

[Taru, as he sends out a spell towards the crowd of fleeing attendants]

"Why do you ask, didn't you just make yourself a Chire Sandwich?"

[Taru]

"No, not yet. I was planning on waiting till I can fry them."

[Weiso, rubbing his belly]

"Well then why do you need my lunch?"

[Taru, as one of his spells lands turning the attendant into a creature]

"I figured something to go with the fried Chire would be great."

[Weiso, watching as the spell transforms the attendant into a Mushie]

"What about mushrooms?"

[Taru]

"Too healthy, next."

[Weiso, with disgust]

"Okay what about this then?"

[Taru, turning another attendant into Arotol]

"Ehh I had Artol for breakfast and dinner last night."

[Weiso, disappointed]

"Okay one more try then, what about…"

[Taru, turning another attendant into a creature].

"OH! A Maki! I haven't seen one of those in forever. I can definitely do some Maki and Chire stew then."

[Weiso, enthusiastically]

Unable to stop the magicians from transforming the attendants, the team begins to finish off the Mimics, with no recovery of who was eaten.

"Is everyone okay?"

[Naraku, yelling out as Isha, Obitiga, and Him make the final blow on the last mimic defeating it]

"Yes, but they turned a few of us into creatures, there's only two of us left."

[Carnival Attendant 15]

"Tsh, how do we undo these spells?"

[Naraku, annoyed]

"From what I know most mage spells can be undone by defeating them."

[Isha]

"Then we need to hurry! Protect those who were transformed."

[Naraku]

"What about the one who was turned into a Maki?"

[Carnival Attendant 8]

"Here!"

[Naraku, creating a pool of water for the Maki to sit in]

The team then begins to walk down towards the base of the arena. Taking a few potions as they prepared for battle.

"Brothers look, those three seem to be approaching."

[Weiso, pointing up at the team as they approach the arena]

"What do you think it is they want?"

[Jiga]

"Maybe they have decided to give up to us with no fight?"

[Taru]

"Oh that's no fun."

[Weiso, with disappointment]

"Without a fight, how can we get their blood moving?"

[Weiso, excited to eat]

"You three!"

[Weiso]

"What are you approaching for?"

[Jiga]

"We want our friend, and the missing attendants, back from your Mimics."

[Naraku]

"As well as all those attendants back to normal."

[Isha, pointing towards the attendants at the top of the arena]

"Oh, we can't do that."

[Weiso, with a smile]

"Anyone not here has already been sent to production."

[Jiga]

"Production?"

[Obitiga, confused]

"Do not worry, you will be sent there too in no time."

[Taru creating a vortex and stepping through it]

"We just need to send these last few over as well."

[Taru, appearing behind the team near the last two attendants]

"So let us clean up our mess and gather our lunches."

[Taru, transforming the last two attendants and sending them all through another portal]

"STOP!"

[Obitiga, trying to stop Taru before he re-entered the portal]

"We do have to commend the three of you for being able to defeat our Mimics, as it is a true feat."

[The Triplets, in unison]

"It is one no one has done before. "

[Taru]

"Where did you send them!"

[Isha, panicked]

"As we said to production, some however did go to our kitchen, and I can not wait to try that fresh Maki."

[Weiso]

"Release those attendants or else."

[Obitiga]

"Or else?"

[The Triplets, in unison]

"Do you think you scare us?"

[The Triplets]

[The room begins to get dimmer]

"We brothers have no fear."

[The Triplets, the air begins to chill]

"We have been doing this for most of our lives."

[The Triplets, as their eyes begin to glow]

"OR ELSE!"

[The Triplets, laughing]

"We laugh at you, do you think you are any match for us three."

[The Triplets, as they begin to pulsate]

The air in the arena begins to swirl around them, covering them up from the team's sight.

"What's going on?"

[Isha, confused]

"I think they are transforming?"

[Obitiga]

"I thought only two races could do that? Siren and Nightwalker."

[Isha, curiously]

"That is the truth."

[Naraku]

"They don't look like either."

[Obitiga, confused]

The air around the triplets begins to settle, revealing their new forms. It seems that they were of the Nightwalker race, the same as Twilight. With Weiso in the middle almost tripling his size, his appearance now that of a fanged and clawed creature, a Griz, standing on two arms.

A Griz is a type of Bear, the HP based Nightwalker is able to transform into. They are not seen in most areas as they like to hide in dense forests.

Letting out a growl, to signal an attack. Taru and Jiga, still on his left and right sides, begin to sprint towards the team. Their forms being that of Wuvs, the speed based Nightwalker. As they reach the base of the arena they leap, attacking both Obitiga and Narku. Putting up their weapons to defend themselves they are pinned down by the two. With them snarling and chomping at their weapons, Obitiga and Isha try their best to stay alive.

"So it looks like you will be my prey instead."

[Weiso, letting out a laugh of joy]

Standing firm Naraku begins to fire off a few of his Flaming Ice Arrows. Dodging each oncoming arrow, Weiso begins to slowly make his way towards Naraku. As the two approached each other you could hear nothing but the sound of arrows flying by, hitting the other wall, and the occasional swipe of them by Weiso.

"So it looks like you will be a worthy opponent."

[Weiso, now standing in front of Naraku face to face]
