"Please shatter us." The voice repeats in Reiji's head. Over and over it says it. reijis scratches his head and screams out.
"Fine whatever ill try."
The man is confused looking at him cackling.
"Losing your nerve peasant?" he shakes his head closing his eyes pompously.
" Well what should I expect from a."
he's cut off as reiji uses white emperors fist to hit him. The royal hits the ground bloody and bruised he goes to grab his weapon. It isnt there reiji holds it. but cannot wield it, and in his hands feels like trying to lift a bus. He wraps his hands in white emperors light. He repeatedly hits the Crackade by Lilith. the Crack spreads, but the man is now up running at reiji grabbing for the weapon. A voice in his head appears again.
"Please hurry shatter us. we can't nullify our contract."
Reiji hits the cracked piece teo more times causing the Crack to reach halfway through the blade. The man finally reaches reiji as he pulls his fist back to strike again. the man tosses something at reiji which passes his cheek slightly cutting him.
"shit" Reiji rages at himself for letting his guard down.
"huh?" reiji tries to stand but falls.
The man smiles " paralyzing snake venom from a cask viper monster. it will leave a normal person paralyzed for 30 minutes."
The man picks up his severely cracked weapon walking towards a paralyzed reiji.the girls voices in his head sobbing, and apologizing for their actions. the man gets close to reiji, and reiji tries to stand he falls on his hands. the man drawing close holding the living weapon zero. he swings down,and reiji closes his eyes waiting for another end.
The end doesn't come, but what does Is a horrifying screech. a large mantis creature with 12 eyes and 4 blood red wings appear a blad stuck in its carapace.
It screeches at them both lunging at reiji.
reiji can now move so he rolls out of the way, and so it turns its attention to the royal. it swings its scythe like claw at the man. he swings back hoping to chop its arm off. he doesn't succeed his blade zero cracks under the combined force. While the blade crumbles away the monster looks entranced. taking a piece of the blade in its jaws.
The monster flies away holding some pieces of zero.The royal gets up looking at his grime covered clothes.
"You will pay for this one day filthy cur. you will pay!!!!"
The man walks away holding his forehead. where a number is etched into it bleeding.
Losing zero has cursed him, and only another living weapon can cure it.
Reiji stands up grabbing pieces of zero the hilt and a few blade shards. he buries the rest.
Lilith who has watched all this is silently crying. the loss of a living weapon to another always means being shattered. The two make their way back to the town only to find it burning to ashes.
"Why is it like this?" reiji says his eyes Losing their light as he notices the half burned little girl being clutched in her mother's arms.
This village isn't far from Rosalie's So reiji had planned to stop by but..
At this moment a figure walks from the burning home smacking away the mother killing her. the one who appeared is kana. reiji doesn't know her name, but she does know him. She notices the gauntlets his description. she smiles and brings out a whip coated in burning red flames.
"So your the famous reiji? I don't see the appeal. not that it matters you will be dead soon first I lose my brother then my arm. HAHAHA how much more will you and yours take before your done."
The light in reijis eyes is gone his mouth hangs open. kana walks closer laughing as she does.
"Hahaha broken are we does a little death really scare you? if you were here before you might have saved them. Oh yeah you don't know me im." reiji cuts her off standing up his frazzled hair covering the look in his eye.
he looks up the anger seeping through him as he walks. each step getting harder. cracking the ground as he walks. slowly reiji is transforming into his dragonoid form. he knows this will hurt him in the long run but he continues. Another step his arms cover in scales, and another his legs. and another continuing until his body has transformed. this whole time kana is whipping him. Reiji feels nothing but anger, and sadness. he thinks to himself.
"Why all the death ever since I came here. people try to kill me,and the innocent suffer at the hands of the one's in charge. to people stronger, and those who should have protected them. Where is the humanity in this world. it needs someone to set it straight. to balance the scales.
Kana wraps her whip around reijis neck. pulling at it she hopes to choke him but it doesn't work. reiji looks up pity now in his eyes.
"Let me ask you a question before you die." reiji says to kana like it is already over.
"Like hell DIEEEEEEE." Kana says as she twists the whip coating it in white hot fire and barbs.
The whip barbs Crack and the fire does nothing.
"Let me ask you why. Why did you kill these people? they have done no one any true harm.WHY!!!!"
Reiji lifts her up with one Arm. he unwraps the whip with the other.
kana smirks" you will suffer at least" she transforms into her beast unison form stabbing reiji with her tail. the shock causes reiji to crush her throat. she got him right behind a scale it hit his skin. he immediately feels a burning sensation followed by blurry vision. his last view before blacking out is kanas bloody smiling face.
