[Demon's War (Recovery of Allies): Arc 13]
Year 2003 the Light has soon appeared and the newly born girl has shined over the humanity's responsibility.
The birth that once appeared had been now unknown for the entire Human Society and her existence was yet unknown, nor was it seen.
With the born girl's full-caring personality from baby's perspective, this girl was sent onto the Planet Earth to secretly live a Human's Life, without even herself knowing what she truly was.
Now, in the year 2019 the first human coming in contact with this girl was a 16 year old Teenager boy, who had become the next Substitute-Duelist and the ally of the potential future Godess.
Through the year of their meeting, the Substitute-Duelist never understood why her existence was so important and even before he managed to understand, his promises to keep her protected was a significant shock.
Due to this girl's crooked knowledge about herself, even herself couldn't believe what a mere human had spoken, but until now, year 2020, this teenager had held his promise straight and never let go, but due to the accident of her ally falling and seeing her 'killed', the teenager gave into his inhumane actions, and the first appearence of the disordered 'Fiend' all he had seen was a revenge over this girl's 'killer'.
But then, in sudden appearence, after this teenager finally broke the seal that kept his humanity hidden, the Demon God himself appeared out of nowhere and claimed that he'll use the power of both, The Semi-Godess and the Substitute-Duelist, for himself and without wasting time, the two teenager were both held, unconscious in Demon God's palm, taken to the underworld.
But due to the Demon God not being aware, his own son, known as the Half-Demon entered the underworld and was put under a difficult responsibility...
....Katorishi Codey, his hatred toward father was seen and as much as his fear prevailed over, he never let go of his allies.
In the unexpected, this Half-Demon promised himself to bring back, both Kirashito Ayuka the Semi-Godess and Shinkaku Timoshī the Substitute-Duelist to once again see Humanity.... To achieve this goal, his journey will be hard, long and with the Demon God in front of him, he's aware that his risks of entering the underworld might ended up in fighting his own father.....
The Demon God Rez, himself....

"I understand. Thank you very much for your cooperation, that portal would need to be somehow opened, how to do that would be difficult..." But once Shin claimed so, the door opened and a female and a male came stepping from the door.
"Does anyone wish for some fresh merchandise?" A fan was opened and a hat was grabbed, the two bodies stood before them.
In front of the Duelists who've just arrived on the inner, Mayumi became rather surprised. "Tishida? Akari? How come that your arrivals appear?" As Mayumi had a casual stance, she felt a bit confused of why these two arrived. "We've been warned about the situation here in the Innerlight City, by the agency... So we've come as quickly as possible, luckily to the effective transportation." Claimed Akari and in the sentence bent her left wrist. "So, if it wouldn't be difficult. Do you think you could explain the situation here?"
"It's not as easy as you'd think. Even with your help, I don't think we'll have much support. The City is overpopulated by the Demons on every side and what's even worse, all three, Tim, Codey and Ayuka were dragged with Rez. It's a problem that it cannot be left out. Right now, this girl told us about the activities that happened before Tim and Ayuka's abduction, and we've got much to take in, both Codey and this girl's brother went after them, and without trace left, we're now left in the middle of 'Demon's War', while at the same time, those people struggle - safe to say in the Underworld - to revert the abduction while at the same time, proceed of living. It's really a Chaotic day, it passed about 2 hours since the first arrival, and now we've got multiple of our bests Duelists recovering, we've even heard reports about multiple of the 'students' dying in face of a Demon. Shin was able to split them into nine main squads and an assassinating group all over the city, but even then, escorting people while dealing with Demons, we cannot defeat them with ease, there's just too many of them... And now, that additional Duelists have been trapped down in the Underworld, their support is impossible, meaning, less Duelists, worse chance of surviving." Mayumi explained, holding her head.
"The Gate to the Underworld is impossible to be opened up by humanity's power, only Demon God and the Godess of these worlds have the ability to do that. We're here to protect humanity, so that's our first priority..." Sighed Tishida, waving with his fan, but managed to giggle. "What's so funny?" Wondered Mamoru, looking at Tishida. "Nothing.... Nothing... I just had some funny thoughts." But due to other's concerns, they felt as if he knew something.
"He's just being a dumbass. We've come here, due to treating the fallen Duelists and if necessary, we'll try to-" But on the instance of that saying, something appeared and due to its happening, somebody managed to appear next to them, but the person seemed to have been weakened.
The first appearance caused the rest to not understand who the woman was, but while long white hair and silver eyes, flashed upon them in her white clothes, the others dared to ask. "W-where did you come from? H-how did you even-" Wondered Midori, confused at the looks. "I'm sorry for the unexpected appearance, but due to this massacre of Demon's activities and one more specific reason. I-I needed to come here. I'm sure you are quite concerned about who I am or why I am here, but I would really ask of you to explain everything to me." The woman questioned, hiding her pain with all the force she could.
In the instance of her appearance, two of the men appeared, besides the woman. "Lass. Zero! We've told you specifically to not come here, we must return now!" The man claimed, reaching for her hand. to hopefully prevent her appearance and with immediate realization, everyone around the recovering room froze, getting shocked and couldn't believe what they've seen in front of them. "Z-Zero? A-Aren't you-" Wondered Midori, frozen. "That's correct."
[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - Innerlight City's Guild (Main Area) - Friday, 11:00 a.m.]
All of the Duelists were unsure of how to act in front of a 'Godess', but due to her injured body and sickness, she hadn't have the true will of prospecting them. "We're so sorry! It was really inpolite of us to talk to you that way! Please, forgive us!" The Duelists were worriyingly stressing out while feeling strange. "That is really not an issue... But I believe a few of you might already understand to why am I here, correct?" Wondered Zero, while standing before them. "If it is for that reason... T-Then, I'd recommend you speak to some of these Duelists on your own. Many other Duelists around here don't know, b-but.... If it's trully a problem that might be bothering you... Please, make sure to keep it for yourself." Claimed Mayumi. "I understand, and I believe I will be able to entrust some of you to what has been happening at the recent event, most of you might have already know... But one of the Duelists with the name of 'Kirashito Ayuka' was abducted by the God of Demons. I am aware that this may indeed not be your concern, but due to your close relationships, I would really consider your help, as I am currently too weak to proceed on my own. Kirashito Ayuka is very important, and as I've said before, several of you must already know too why, and who she is toward me, I would ask of you to explain what has happened before my time of arrival. Most importantly, which of the Duelists should I entrust the request?" Wondered Zero, calm and causes about her appearance.
[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - Innerlight City's Guild (Main Area) - Friday, 11:02 a.m.]
"W-Well... It's- The best recommendations, would be Tim, Codey, Kylin and Sakami. Both of the boys have visited the Underworld and Kylin is sadly in recovery. The only one who's somewaht free to talk to, is Hashujin Sakami, but due to her being on the Main Assassinating team, she's probably busy with protecting people at the center and getting rid of the Demons. She's the only other person with Kanji, who are valuable toward Ayuka's relationships." Explained Mayumi. "I understand, then I have a request for you. I know it's very 'rushing', but would you consider escorting me to the center of the City, I cannot be seen by Demons or other people, as it would cause a drastical problem." Explained Zero, holding the top of her chest. "But. Even if we do escort you, how do you plan us to hide you?" Wondered Midori, confused.
"That will not be needed, I would only ask you to escort me, as I was saying, Ayuka's results heavily weakned my body state and Spirituality, because of that specific reason, my power was vanquished and cannot be restored unless Ayuka herself returns to Humanity's World. I would consider a backup and help. Once I reach the center of your City, I will have stored enough Spirituality, for as long as I do not come in any type of combat, right now I am forced to keep the Spirituality within secrecy and in fact, any simplest cases of my energy shown, the Demons themselves will be targeting me as their priority, their only existence is to hunt down their prey that was ordered to them by the God of Demons, because of my fatique, it would clearly be impossible to reach the Center by myself, especially if a Demon had noticed me alone in an opened area. Without resisting, they would consider me as a normal Human, which is quitely a present for them, I will be able to change into a civilian's body, that will also cut my true identity toward the Demons." Explained Zero, while no other Duelists, apart from Higher-Ups stood before her.
"But wouldn't that show your Spirituality, doesn't changing a body use Spiritual Symbolism?" Wondered Midori. "Yes, it is considered, but to take on, or change into a body, the pressure will only be sensable on the moment of it happening, for the moment I receive the body, there will not be any more need of provoking Spirituality. So, for the final moment, would you consider yourselves as my guide and bring me to the middle of where your friend is held?" And without a doubt, Midori and Mayumo both nodded. "I hope that two of us will be enough to guide you to the center. It will take a few minutes for us to arrive, maybe hours if the Demons decide to attack. If that's fine with you, then we're all set to help in any way we can." Explained Midori, calmly. "The time is not the most problem-giving, as long as we manage to reach the Center, it will be considered a success, however, I would still ask of you to move as quickly as possible, as not even myself could know, when the God of Demons plans to inherit Ayuka's Spirituality. So, I would still count it as a mark to be completed as soon as possible." And with agreeing, Midori and Mayumi spoke aloud. "We understand. But what about your 'body guards'? Do they not plan on going alone?" Questioned Mayumi.
"No. Their Spirituality is similar to my own and would also provoke the Demons from targeting us, they do not have the ability to change bodies, so truly, you mortals are the only option, if we succeed, I'll be able to open the portal to the Underworld and hopefully reach the Underworld's Jail Cell. That's the place to where I expect Ayuka and your friend are being held."
