As I stood with everyone, I realized another thing. I'm no longer alone and I'm stronger with everyone. Just then, a strong pulse spread from every part of my body. I feel on my knees from the untensity of the pulse. "Licht, you okay?!" Ray asked but I couldn't answer from the pain.
Suddenly, I heard a voice from somewhere speaking. It's the old man fron Helios' voice. "I see you have found your light." He said.
"I... have." I answered him.
"Then keep it in your heart, and never lose sight of it ever again." He spoke with a happy tone before laughing a bit. "Let your true power lose now. Oh Sacred Sword."
With just those words, I felt a new power, a knowledge I haven't known yet. About my Light and Arc. "You okay?" Jade asked placing his hand on my shoulder.
"I am." I answered with a smile, then I let go of Etoiles. "Come to me, Angel."
With a bright light I feel my golden Aura spread in all directions. My uniform is suddenly replaced for some reason, in a white cloak with golden trimmings and a blue line going down from my shoulder to my wrist, the sleeves being angel style. There's also a golden line starting from the armpits down to the very bottom. The collar has been popped and is colored gold, there's a skyblue line going down from the collar to the shoulder tip. Underneath the cloak I'm wearing a white dress shirt with a pocket and black jeans with black leather boots, on my wrist was a bracelet, with a round indention, with abd seems to be divided into twenty-two slices, there's a golden piece in one the slices for some reason. I'm also wearing a belt with a sword fashioned on it, the sword sheath is colored black, and as I draw it angel wings suddenly appear on ny back. The sword has a beautiful white blade with a diamond shaped blue gem on the cross guard with wings as the cross guard and a golden hilt with a round gem at the pummel. "What's with the sudden outfit change?" Jade teased.
"Ask questions later, for now we have to destroy those Shadows." I tod him as a large horde of animal themed Shadows charged in from the sea. "Leave the human shaped ones to me."
"Understood." They answered as our battle began once more.
Without delay, I began to move soaring the skeis with my wings, I searched and I found a human shaped Shadow. Holding sword high into the air I activated my new Special Skill. "Purge." I said and swung the sword overhead.
A golden light engulfed it and a dark mist exited its body leaving a man on the ground, the black mist showed a black bug of some sort which tried to escape but I cut it in half. While the batte raged on, I flew about healing the humans that had turned into Shadows one by one. When I had landed, I continued my fight with the Shadows. As we all cut through them with all we had. After much fighting we had finally ended the battle or so we thought. Apparently there is a large Shadow approaching from the Hive. All those who can still fught are apparently ordered to gather and perpare for its arrival while those who can't myst return and recover. The whole school is gathered here at the moment.
We all took our stances as we saw it in the distance. A giant Shadow, unlike others it seems more distorted. The body of a turtle with a snake coiled around it... it vaguely resembles the Genbu. The shell on it is spiked for some reason, possibly those are ammunition that can do some serious damage. "Students, be on your guard and work as one." The voice rung over the speakers, that voice was without the chairman's voice.
"Everyone, please be on high alert." I alerted my teammates.
While we charged at the Shadow but rays of light shot from its back shootibg at us. I carefully dodge each attack and that was when I had noticed something. It can only fire a round of five shots per minute, the snakehead can reach long distances. "Shin, please cut off the head." I told Shin because I know he is the only one who can do it.
With his invisible blade he cut ofd the Shadow's neck and the head was then shot by Mizuki. The core on it disappeared and the snake half of the the Shadow disappeared in black smoke.
We all took this chance and cut the limbs off then I searched for the core while they keep up the attack. The core was in the shell, it's too tough for any ofus to pierce. Just then, I thought of doing something. "Please distance yoursleves from the Shadow, I will expose the core." I communicated to the other students and they did.
"Licht, you're clear." Aria said over the communicator.
"Angel; Brionac!" I activated the Arc, then a large cannon appeared in front of me and I targetted the enemy with. With a loud boom a golden flash destroyed its shell to reveal the core.The others then peirced it with their Arcs and the tyrtle disappeared in a black mist.
After the battle we all rested, I notoced taht my clothes had cahnegd back to normal. My new Arc... no it's called an Arcana, Judgement; Angel. So this is what a Sacred Sword is, I feel so much stronger now. But I didn't become strong by myself my friends were with me. Right now I can say that I can rest easy.
Days after the fight, everyone at our Division was happy as ever. The incident a few days ago was being researched by the Research Department. I'm walking along the beach when I saw a person in a black cloak with a mask. "Hello there, it isn't safe here sir." I told him.
"My dear Sacred Sword, you must be prepared." He said, the voice he had was the one of the old man from Helios. "That was only the beginning, if you wish to protect this world, you must gather all the Sacred Swords."
"Who are you, you aren't a foe." I said and stood by his side. "Can you tell me whether or not your on our side."
"I'm just a watcher." He said. "You're twin brother, he is still alive."
"What!?" I turned to him.
"If you continue down this path, the two of you will meet. At the moment, chose to save him or let him fall into the darkness." He said and with a black mist he disappeared. "Trust those by your side and stand strong, for the days to come will rock your resolve and make you waver. Do not let go of that which you hold dear."
With that he disappeared and I'm left standing with countless unanswered questions. Luca... he is still alive? Down this path... does he mean the path to being a Sacred Sword? I don't care, if Luca is out there somewhere, I'll find him. I'll continue down this path, not for vengeance anymore, but to ensure that no one will ever go through the pain I went through.
