[Rescuing Ayuka: Arc 5]
A 'Spiritual Mode'! One of the basic techniques that a Ginkenian should master! It's another extension to their power and allows them to seperate their spirit from their body on the outside. A linking technique such as this one is necessary for Ginkenians because of it's polluted power, allowing them to switch dimensions between Zero World and Planet Earth. This ability is usually not shown by the trained Ginkenians but their pressure can be felt. Once the Spirit Seperates through the body their potential can be easily overwhelmed and a basic Ginkenian could easily be harmed by their own Spirit. The 'Spirit Mode' is quite different and the bodies of Ginkenians become Spiritual, through seeable and very difficult to learn. But the weakness of such body is risky.... Currently we still do not know much about this mysterious technique.....
Tokyo City - Sasayuku Street - Tuesday, 00:10 a.m.|
With a fall of Tim, he tried to get up and then faced at Saraki, but a problematic pain caused Tim to once again lose his Spiritual Symbolism which could mean a potential harm to his body, but still standing up, Tim picked up back his sword and cleaned the blood with his wrist around his nose. The whipping whips constantly waved in the shadowy air and even made Saraki to become more serious. "That's enough!" Ayuka tried once again, but before she could manage to stop Tim, he immediately disappeared, becoming once again stubborn, but then Saraki became extremely shocked and only froze, however at that exact moment, something came flashing in front of them, Tim's body was immediately cut and began bleeding, when Tim's sword dropped on the floor, cracked through the middle, with no knowledge, blood splashed through when the sliding and cracked sword, moved past Saraki's feet, Tim who felt greater pain and warm wound on his body, questioned himself. ("It... it was instantanous, who....., it couldn't have been Saraki, he hasn't... moved...., so, who.... w...was... it...) Tim's body smashed onto the floor while with his not blinking eyes, listened to steps and noises in the rainy floor. Saraki who was as well surprised, faced toward the floor and became surprised. "W....What, how has he~" But soon, Saraki faced back. Ayuka who sensed and noticed such event became insanely shocked, but then, the man came out and revealed. It seemed to have been a guy with another katana, Tim who struggled and felt pain, looked up, incapable of moving. "Who... the...*cough*, hell are you?" Tim's voice was simply known as to be in pain, the man dragged his sword away. "Isora! What the hell! Why did you do that?!" Saraki asked and became surprised. "That was bound to be my fight! Why did you interfere!" But what made the most shocking, was Ayuka, saying a specific word. "Brother?" Isora Kirashito, a brother of Ayuka, now taking place as the captain of the 9th clan, stood before the three. "I've interfered... because the attack this Ginkenian made would be deadly, you could not react and the sword would cut through the neck of yours, isn't that right, Shinkaku Tim?" Isora was a calm but strong captain. "Tsch... screw... you, damn it." Tim was trying his best to stand up, but he was then answered. "I would not recommend you to move, your wound is deep already." Isora swore and looked down at the fallen Tim. Tim tried but gave up at the same moment. "What do you want, I haven't seen you at the.... C.A.C., who are you?" But then, Tim's question was answered. "I am, Isora Kirashito, Captain of the 9th Clan.... and brother of that girl." Tim was shocked on the spot while still feeling pain. "Come on, I don't got time, talking to this guy, just grab Ayuka and go!" Said Saraki who was very annoyed. Isora faced at Ayuka and she already knew what was about to be called. "As a captain, I was sent with Saraki to put you on the execution list, Ayuka it's time to go." Tim quickly interrupted. "She is your sister? And you're still going to allow them to execute her! What kind of a brother are you! Maniac, let her go!" But Tim's voice was angry and in pain. "I cannot do such thing as the commands are what I must do..." Saraki walked toward Ayuka, but she slapped his arm away, the dimension portal opened and both of them walked toward it. "Fool....." Ayuka seemed to have shown some annoyance but Tim's eyes shook, she walked toward the portal by herself and her eyes seemed to be a bit fade. "Ayuka! Stop! Quit... you! Can't, fight them you can~" But as Tim tried to stand and stop her, she spoke. "Don't go after me, stay away.... goodbye, Tim." The three of them faced at Tim, seriously and slowly entered the portal. "Stop! Ayuka!!!!" But Tim's shout, echoing through the air, ended up in nothingness, the portal closed and Ayuka's back was seen disappearing in the light. "Ayu~" Trying to call for her once again, Tim began seeing foggy and then dropped into unconsciouss, his Spiritual Symbolism seemed to have been completely gone and the Ginken on the floor was cracked, however as the pressure of the portal swung by, the blade of a Ginken split in half and the metal was heard on the ground. As Tim layed on the floor, somebody came walking behind him. "Ah, that's him, grab him." A manly voice spoke but seemed to have been polite.
- Two Days later -
Tokyo City - Ichiba Street - Thursday, 1:30 p.m.|
A bright sun, shined through a window when, Tim seemed to have been forced into waking up, slowly opening his eyes, he seemed to be lost in knowledge, he felt a bit of pain still in his body, but sat up and noticed that he was bandaged up, he even seemed to have had a black Zero Watch, attached to his left wrist. "W....where is this place, what's this place?" Tim faced to the side and saw a cat, laying near the wall. "A... cat?" But then the cat's eyes opened and faced at him. "Morning, whitey!" When the cat spoke, Tim's eyes opened widely and he instantanously jumped on his feet, back at the wall. "A TALKING cat?! How is this even real??" Tim's eyes were very squiggly and he gulped once hearing the cat. "Hm? You haven't seen a talking cat, then my apologies." Tim blinked several times and final time to make sure. "I wish I'd say that this is crazy, but I've seen many crazier stuff! Who even are you?" Questioning forward the door opened and a man stepped in with a smile. "Hey, hey! Hey, good to be standing back up! Shinkaku Tim." It was Tishida, Akira and Akari and finally another youngster and a manly guy. "Oh! Heyo! Heyo! Hiya! Hayo! Good to be dancing up upon sworn sky, baby boy!" The female youngster called and clapped, Tim was confused. "Tsch, come on, another idiot..." When Akira spoke, Tim's eyes became very unamused. "Call yourself an idiot, mind explaining who you people are and why do I got this weird watch on the wrist?!" Tim asked and seemed to be already annoyed. "I'm Tishida, Akira, Akari, Tanami and Hasai... would you like some tea?" Tishida seemed to be ignoring the questiom about Tim's new wrist watch. "Why do the cat and the boy almost have an identical name?" Tim added through but Akira then immediately raged out. "It's not identical! Nor close to identical! Stop making fun!" Akira shouted in anger and blowing mouth, Tim seemed to be confused. "Now, now Akira, calm down let's put this boy some slack of time! Look around if you must, but know this that you're in our lovely store!" The guy waved with a fan and smiled. "Your clothes are in that drawer, go ahead! Dress up! We'll leave you to it." Everybody exited apart from Akari. Tim and sitting cat faced at each other. Tim reached for his hoodie and shirt and faced at Akari. "Good, you're all set, walk to the rest." Akari walked over as it was followed by Tim. "Why does a cat have such, manly voice, didn't expect such voice at all..." Tim sighed and then followed Akari. "This is a store, why do you have back rooms or resting rooms?" That was the minded question that Tim gave. "Ah! You know, if we get some interference, or if we come across some injured people like you, we're just human, trying to help in action!" The fan of Tishida once again waved in front and fixed his smile. "How can I be sure to trust you?" But quickly given an answer, Akari spoke. "Why not? We wouldn't help you, would we?" Tim was immediately unamused by words said by Akari. "I still don't think that this should exist, a talking cat, breaks my mind!" But then Tim and the rest came to the room where Tishida already had prepared his tea. "Here, have some tea, we'll get to meet each other earlier!" Tishida then reached for the pot and gave it to Tim who was also now sitting on the pillow. "You could at least get some chairs..." Tim looked around and sighed but touched the pot. "Ya! Ya! But, what matters is that you don't sit on cold bottom, so you're a Ginkenian, I heard some stuff about you!" Tishida said when Akari layed down on the floor. "What? How would you know anything about me?" That made Tim unpleasently confused. "Well, we know your powers were given to you, we know you're in loss of power too and could not protect a friend, I believe, her name was Ayuka Kirashito!" As Tishida spoke, it sounded strange and a bit unplanned in Tim's thoughts. "How do you know anything about her?!" But an answer was told. "Calm down, we're just some old friends of hers, y'know, she was doing the right job, trying to give you the 'Type Brace', if you had took it, you might have not needed to lose to those two Ginkenians!" But still to now, Tim's thoughts kept being twisted. "But... moving on, I believe you still wish to save her from the execution, am I correct! Well, we can talk further into it, but wish you, or do not?" An easy answer flew out of Tim's words. "Of course I do! She's still a friend and I made her a promise too!" Then Tishida just giggled. "What's so funny?!" But the answer that Tim was given was 'nothing'. "We can help you out, but there are a few steps you need to do before that!" Smiled Tishida. "How can you help me? Aren't you just a shopkeeper, but if you are, how do you know who a Ginkenian is and about the every other thing?" Tim asked when facing at the rest. "Well, simple and easy question, I was once a Ginkenian too, but now, just wanted to take a bit of mind off and raise a bit of money, plus I may know where Ayuka is going to be kept and how long, but, I'll tell you, only if you consider listening to everything I say!" Tishida's serious smile broke out. "Does it involve retrieving my powers?" And to that question, Tishida spoke. "Sure it does, want to hear every step?" That made Tim a bit more confident about help and agreed. "Fine, what is it, if I'll be able to rescue Ayuka, I'll listen to what you will say." Tim's answer was surprising, since usually he does not listen to anybody but himself. "Brilliant, so now shall I explain the steps!" Tishida was quite convincing and luckly he was a good guy. "The first step to beginning this preperation is.... you must pressurize your Spiritual Symbolism into tye 'Type Brace' when you do that, we'll talk again!" Tishida somehow had the item and showed it to Tim, and luckly Tim grabbed it into his hand. "Pressurize it inside of here, how do I do that?" Tim was looking at the triangular item. "Holding it in one of your hands and then, unleash your Spiritual Aura, that should automatically retrieve your powers when it absorbs it, it will sent a sort and another pressure through your body and that time, you'll have a second which will be quite problematic, but non the less, you have to hurry, because your Spiritual Symbolism might be at its end!" As Tim listened he took a breath when sitting down, the blue aura slowly began outwaving onward and the hole inside of the triangular item began absorbing the aura and at surprise, the wind began rustling onward, Tim who felt his Spiritual Symbolism finally growing back to original seemed to have had difficulties with feeling pain in his wounds, but by the end, the blue Spiritual Aura unleashed outward and if was necessary for Tim to turn it off, but soon after, the glow of blue aura slowly whitened and vanished inside of the 'Type Brace', when the others began sensing Tim's Spiritual Symbolism right away. "Did... it work?" As Tim still had a bit of pain, he faced at others and the next nod was given. "Great, that was pretty much it, before we move on to the other stuff, there is one more step before that." And that was to Tim very confusing. "What is it?" "Would you mind grabbing the items that I have ordered for me!" Tim's eyes blinked twice and those were the final few words he heard.
[ - Tishida is an older man who is also another Ginkenian with beige and black hair, plus brown eyes his history is not known to many others but we can be sure that he's a fine man, jokester and a very trust worthy person, he is also one of people who Ayuka considered to be quite a help to her, but currently he stands away in the whirly, unvisited store.]
