The dark night was with a bright moon, few stars could be seen in the sky but this view was soon drastically changed, a mist appeared covering everything, suddenly a loud bang is heard and happiness can be seen on their faces but soon after a strong and powerful roar shakes everyone...
???: -it can not be...
10 hours before
Hideo: -Weakness?
Sado: -yes
Hideo: -What do you mean?
Sado: -Aoy somehow trapped the ghost so we have to trap him too.
Fugako: -but he got loose.
Fugako's words made sense because as the old woman said, he was freed from Aoy's prison plus Sado rebates.
Sado: -Well, this is the only way we have, if we want to defeat him we have to start from that principle.
Hideo: -You talk like it's easy to do that...
He says with a suspicious look.
Sado: -Good easy isn't it, but I have a plan. Let's hunt the ghost.
Sawatori: -This will take work...
They look at each other and soon after the 4 go to the place where they are staying in the city, the inhabitants look at them with discomfort their presence there. After some time talking they go out to town and there they buy and get materials for something.
Soon they gather again in front of the lodge and leave for the forest where they saw the ghost. The place brings them memories of the night they almost died and they begin to put together what they came to do. Several hours had passed since they saw the old woman and began making preparations for the night.
Sawatori: -We're done here.
Sawatori speaks that come out of a hole in the ground right behind him was Fugako.
Fugako: -I left it as deep as I could.
Sado: -ok, now let's go over the plan.
The sun has already set on the horizon and it will soon be dark.
Sawatori: -After the fog comes up, I'll lure the ghost into the trap.
Hideo: -the moment he gets close I'll cut the ropes that are on the tree to throw the nets in his direction.
Fugako: -Once he's on top of the fake well, I'll go with my ax to open the hole we made for him to be thrown inside.
Sado: -At that moment you will pull the ropes so that he can wrap himself around them and fall inside without the possibility of picking up his scythe.
Sawatori: -We can't make mistakes, nor take a second, if he notices, the whole plan will go down the drain.
Sado: -Exactly, he won't be able to cross the traps and will be trapped inside the hole, without food for the 3rd night he will disappear like the old woman said.
Fugako: -I hope you're right.
Sado: -If that doesn't work, we'll have problems, he left us alive the first time, there's no guarantee that this will happen again.
Hideo: -That's right...
Hideo remembers the moment he was about to lose his life.
Sado: -Let's get ready, it's almost night.
The warriors nod their heads and begin preparations for the ghost hunt. After sharpening their blades they come together again.
Sado: -Are you ready?
Fugako: -If you elected the boss, right? Four eyes.
Hideo: -ha, ha.
Sawatori: -He likes to feed that ego of his.
Sado: -shut up idiots, this is the first time 4 blade masters have teamed up to do something like this in many years. Do your best not for yourselves but for who you are here for.
Hideo: -Father.
Sawatori: -Mother .
Fugako: -Master.
Sado: "Lily"
Sado activates their confidence in their goals and motivates them for the upcoming battle.
After Sado's brief speech they go to their posts and wait, it's already past 10 pm, the gloomy night was with a bright moon, few stars could be seen in the sky, the winds were blowing and the heat was cozy, it was a beautiful night indeed. The tense warriors barely realized the nature of the night, they only weighed on what was to come. Suddenly the temperature dropped drastically and a dense fog filled the place like the last time, their tension increased almost at the same time they saw their vision blur in front of the icy and demonic fog that was arriving.
At that moment, total silence was established, not even the wind blew anymore, it seemed that everything had died in the face of such a situation, the silence that was in the forest moments before the creature appeared was horrible, the cold sweat that descended from the assurance of each one of them it was plausible, after all a suppressed attack from that beast would be fatal, they hiding under dry leaves they had gathered was no guarantee that the ghost didn't feel their presence there, they counted that he didn't have that ability any longer.
As time passed the feeling they felt was that every second was an eternity, they were suffocated by the fear and anguish that went through their heads, but they were very well trained warriors, that was another ordeal of the many that have already they had passed before in their lives, but all sensations surfaced when from the middle of the fog a figure emerged, dark-skinned, without human characteristics, its body was black as night, its sharp blade guarded its back, its eyes were white as the soul of whom that creature had already taken from this one to a better one, how many lives would he have already taken from this world? But it was not time to think about it, the time has come they think, and as they had established the hunt, they will eat.
Sawagori: -Now !
He climbs out from under a pile of leaves and yells to get the ghost's attention who then looks at him with his head turning almost 120 degrees to the right he sees Sawatori running away from him like a breeze blows before the ghost advances where he was going, the plan had started, the others leave their mounds and position themselves, the ghost runs after Sawatori who dodges the traps along the way and stops in front of a large tree in the middle of a fireplace.
The ghost arrives almost with him and watches him as an animal looks at its trapped prey, at this moment Hideo activates the nets that come from the four directions towards him at the same time Fugako appears with his golden ax and hits the ground with everything making him give way. under the ghost that tries to deviate but the nets catch him making him not deviate from the ropes below him that wrap around his limbs being huddled by Sado in huge trees there, the ghost was without action, his limbs were held by ropes and supersto climbs a hole, where he couldn't even pull out his scythes.
The fog dissipates showing that he was indeed trapped, when she disappears what we see is a creature trapped like a bird in a cage.
Fugako: -we managed...
Before they could celebrate a loud roar released by the ghost, it could be pain or fury but it made everyone gasp at the sight of what happened before their eyes.
Sado: -That's not...
Hideo: -It can't be...
The ghost had freed himself from the ropes, how could he have done that?
Sawatori: -Get out of there!
Sawatori, who was away from them, screams but it was too late, black thorns appear from inside the hole cutting the ropes and freeing the ghost from its prison, luckily he just aimed his freedom and didn't attack anyone like them, seeing that all with exercise of Sawatori paralyze, the ghost was loose again and nothing stopped him from killing them then and there.
The ghost looks towards the warriors with a look of fury and catches his scythe going at them with everything, Sawatori without regret twice enters in front and manages to contain his attack .
Sawatori: -Get moving !
Hearing that they recall their sanity and wield their blades a fierce battle was about to begin again, was it a rematch or an act of madness? In the impost at that moment, they were fighting not for their lives as the first time but for the dreams they carried with them.
Fugako : -deadly ax!
Fugako attacks with his biggest attack as last time but he crosses the beast's body as before, the beast attacks him with punches and kicks making him retreat.
Hideo: -What else was that?
Sado: -I don't know, I think he has another skill that he didn't show before.
Sawatori: -This is no time for guessing, if we lose now it will be our end.
Fugako: -How are we going to defeat this beast?
The beast looks at them with that weird look with its head at 120 degrees, but Sado thinks of something.
Sado: -It's risky.
Hideo: -What are you talking about?
Sado: all together attack!
the beast holds his scythe and with quick movements that make the blade cross his own body in a sign of superiority, Sado tries to get up when he sees his friends lying on the ground and puddles of blood around them. The beast prepares to attack Sado and quickly advances.
Sawatori : -Sado!
Until the sound of a word Sado shouted rang in his ears.
Sado: -Aoy!
Aoy's name is shouted, it's been a while since the creature that lets out a roar that stresses the air.
Fugako: -Oh ?
Sawatori: -"if he reacted like that, what to say"
-To the...
Before he could finish he is hit by the ghost's scythe but he barely manages to deflect the scythe blade from fatal parts but even so is thrown against a tree.
Hideo: -Sawatori!
Hideo looks at the creature with fury getting up and starts attacking it, the ghost owes his blows and with a simple movement hits Hideo's chest with his scythe making him bleed more.
Hideo: -This is my end...
Fugako takes off and runs to him to get him out of there before receiving a final blow. The ghost sees that but its focus turns to another.
Sado: -Damn, this miserable...
Sado feels a shiver down his spine, as the first time he was in that base forest sensation reminded him and when he looked back the ghost was there with him as the first time he saw him and before he was hit by the deadly scythe he whispered. .
Sado: -Oh ...
The ghost stops its movement for a moment. Sawatori raises his head and struggling screams.
Sawatori: -Oh!
The creature is paralyzed to hear that again and still for all those warriors more even so it continued the attack towards Sado.
Fugako: -Oh!
The creature stops again when he hears the word said by Fugako who was already close to him, the ghost squirms all over.
Sado: -Aoy!
Fugako: -Oh!
Sawatori gets up slowly.
Sawatori: -Oh!
Hideo: -A ... Aoy!
The creature roars and strong winds emanate from its glass which was not as black as before for some reason.
Sado: "did" -sealing chain!
Sado notices something and envelops the creature with his current that didn't go through him as before.
Sado: -attack with everything you have, now!
Fugako with his ax jumps over him and attacks him with everything the back of the creatures that roared in pain, for the first time he felt something like that, but she was still active and starts to stir trying to hit them both with her scythes, Sawatori who had been getting up attacks him with their maximum agility maneuvering their swords to pierce his body to stop his arm, once again he roars loudly, the beast starts to strain trying to cross the blades that starts to go through his body as before .
Sado: -Hideo kill the ghost!
Each of them holding the ghost trying at all costs to break free, Hideo staggers to his feet and with his Katana points to the beast's left side and pierces the creature's chest in the heart before the power to pass through blades fully returns. At that moment a strong mass of darkness emanates from the creature burning them as it roared in pain, it would be his last card, the last resort to eliminate those who caused him pain.
Sado: -Hold on!
Fugako: "Master"
Sawatori: "Mother"
Hideo: "Pai"
Sado: "Lily"
All: -aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!
Feeling their bodies being torn apart by the darkness they close their eyes and in their minds only passed their motivations that did not let them give in to the power of the beast that roared strong, everything became darkness, a strong wind emanated from the ghost and then the roar stopped.. .the burning that their bodies felt was gone along with the darkness that the wind blew away and the moonlight shone on their bloodied bodies, the wind hit their faces relieving the sensation they felt.
When they finally manage to open their eyes, their eyes come across something unbelievable, then they look at each other and turn to someone was there with them...
-...
-...
-...
Sado: -Aoy?
