"Don't worry Tobi, I will always be here with you... Always." I whispered, as the tattoo suddenly started to retract back to his hand, and his once scared face... Was now replaced with a wonderful smile on his face.
"Thank you... Trinity." I heard him say suddenly, as he turned back to me and returned the hug, as I first blushed at first but then returned it with a blissful smile on my face.
"your welcome... Tobi." I responded with a smile on my face, as the rain then suddenly stopped and the orange evening sun had illuminated the forest, making it... Beautiful.

Nobody's p.o.v
Back at cryprus capital.
The north breach.
Aaaaahhhhhhhh
Tamaki sliced a hamji in half with her sword, as it cried out in pain and turned to dust.
"This things really are pests... They just keep on coming." Tamaki shouted out in frustration, as she continued to slice and dice them at sight. "come on and close that breach already!"
A higher hamji rushed her, making her to switch to a defence stance. "damn it, where did this one come from?"
"they seem to be another breach not that far from here." Jack responded to her question, before delivering a devastating slash onto a near by hamji. " Tamaki, you need to here and deal with these ones, while I go check were the other breach is."
Jack ran off, while still slashing some of the hamjis.
"fine by me... Weapons technique: Saber art: horizontal slash." She casted with fury in her voice, as she slice the upper level hamji with so much power, that it affected the other one at the back. "how do you like me now!"
She shouted with a mighty grin on her face, but it seems to be a short lived one. As a new hoard of hamjis were running towards her with rage and hunger.
"Yes come.... I will kill you all!" Tamaki shouted with rage too, as even the hamjis were scared based on instinct and some of they had started to run back, but unfortunately met the end of her blade. "none of you will live here alive."
She chased the rest, as the others just sweat dropped at the whole situation.... Yeah she's lost it.
"i don't even know which one is worst.... The hamjis or Tamaki's obsession with fight." Ruk said with a facepalm, as he started to make his way towards sahal; who was still struggling to keep the breach from spreading. " come on sahal, need help... You don't look so good!"
"oh I'm fine... Is what I would be saying if I was, you dumb ass! I'm dying over here, the seal is not closing, and most of the other people that would help me are busy fighting the remaining hamjis... While I'm here, in the front line! Sealing some stupid barrier!" sahal shouted in rage, as he was too weak to keep the seal from depleting. " and seems like my only defence while I recover the seal is gone... Making me an open target for those monster."
Sahal responded, as ruk was confused by this.
"wait is hercul here right now." Ruk asked, but sahal's facial expression had become.
"he was here not that while ago... The breach is escalating to black..." sahal mentioned, which shocked ruk immediately.
"what the... So you mean that a yoma is close by, but if it's coming why haven't it...." ruk asked.
"hercul deviated it's attention to him, and his currently facing it as we speak." Sahal answered, as indra came by, having heard what had happened.
"WHAT! Hercul is up against those things... Though he might be the strongest mercenary as in now, but up against those things is a suicide mission." Indra panicked, as something heard gotten his attention. "what about CW.... at least he should be around right?"
"unfortunately... He wasn't even around during the breach.... My life sucks, when things are about to get good they only get worst... Maybe it will change this time right ruk... Ruk?" sahal called out, as ruk started to power up, with his chronicle appearing close to him. He press both his hands against the seal with his glowing sky blue aura covering the part of the breach.
"indra! I want you to focus your mana boost spell towards me and sahal... We gonna need it for this one!" ruk focused at something outside the seal, as even indra now had a scared expression on his face and had already casted the mana boost spell. Sahal felt his power overflow, and Had summoned his chronicle too... But they was just one thing on his mind now... What are they afraid about.
"What's wrong ruk, why are you... Afraid... Shit, shit, shittttt!" sahal shouted out in terror, as he sighted a whole hoard of hamjis... In numbers of hundreds of thousands, like a wave of sand.
"Sahal! Stay focused!" ruk tried to stop sahal from panicking, as the seal started to repair the breach... But it was repairing itself slowly, we won't make it. "damn it, it will take a whole grand council of mages to make this work! We can't make it"
"RUK! HOLD IT!" sahal shouted in both anger and fear.
"IT WON'T WORK!" ruk responded with the same anger and fear too.
"WE HAVE TO AT LEAST TRY! OR IT'S OVER!" We all panicked as the swarm of hamjis were coming our way, even the others had fear written all over there face, thinking that all was lost.... Until someone had jumped right in front of the seal, with very familiar long katanas at each hands; in which the one at the left was normal, but the one at the Right was far longer than the other one. The strange figure had engaged a pure stance.... With no flaw in it, only one person has that type of stance.
"CW! GOOOOO!" ruk shouted with a proud grin on his face, as everyone was surprised by this.
"weapon technique: breath control!" CW said with a calm voice, as he breath out with his eyes glowing pure, smoky white; gripping his sword intensively and his chronicle appearing by his side. The ground started to shake because of the massive flood of hamjis getting close by. "time art: Rewind constellation."
Booooooom
CW unleash a massive shockwave, as he appeared right behind the hoard of hamjis and then sheath back his normal katana, and the brought the other one, in which the sheath was smaller, but was some how able to fit the longer katana, which was odd to see. But as cw closes it fully... The hoard of hamjis had stopped... Then they all started to fade away out of existence.
"that takes care of that." Cw concluded, as he made his way back to the breach, where everyone were just staring at him in awe, fear and wonder... Well that's just cw for you. Cw was confused by this, as he wore a confused look on his face. "what... Did I do something wrong?"
"nahhh one thing is for sure... It's good that you make it just in time cw... If not, things could have ended up bad." Ruk praised cw, as everyone started to cheer for him... But all he just did was roll his eyes, but then... He started to frown at something.
"Where is hercul... Can't sense his mana presence, is something wrong?." Cw asked with an emotionless, as ruk just frowned at the question.
"his in danger... As we speak, his going head on with a yoma." Sahal responded, as he continued to fix up the seal. Cw face had changed from a frowning expression to a stoic expression, as he just stared at the sky.
"I see... So it seems that your right... Okay, see ya guys later." Cw waved off, as he started to leave just before I could stop him, he pointed up to the sky, to reveal an extraordinary sight... So buzzard. Cw then vanished from sight, so fast that no one had noticed that he was gone.
"the sky... It's slitted in half." Indra spoke with amazement , as even I was amazed.
"hercul... Just what is going on?" Ruk spoke in wonder... And a smile on his face... The usual smile. "you better win..."
------------------
Hercul p.o.v
Booooooom!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh
The yoma, had started to shoot rapid projectiles at me as I started to dodge all of it. Closing the distance between me the yoma, as it was about to shoot a more greater blast than before, but before it could do it, I was already so close to it.
"Ahhhhhh!" I roared out, as I delivered a swift punch to it's lower jaw, forcing it to shoot the blast up to the sky. I threw a left hook to the side of it's face, as it's jaw was now dislocated in the process. But as I was about to get back up, it lunged it's hands at me, while turning into tentacles that had restricted me... And seems to be draining me mana too.
"Damn it... Aurora drive: flaming presence!" I roared out with rage, as my whole body was now covered with red blazing fire... Which had fried the tentacles off, but due to the large amount of mana I have lost... I fell to my knees while breathing fast. The yoma instantly started to heal itself, as it started to walk slowly towards me, while drooling and a crazy look on it's face.
"MA....NA" It spoke with a growl following it, as it drew closer to me and then suddenly threw it's tentacles towards me, ready to suck me completely dry.... Damn it.
'get up' I thought, as the tentacles drew closer
'get up' I continued to shout out to myself, as it drew nearer to me.... Damn it.
"Get Up!!!!!!" I cried out to get up, but it seems that it was too late as it was already at my face... It's over... Or that is what I thought as before I knew... the tentacles had started to turn to dust, as they were scratches and deep cuts on the yoma's body. The yoma had started to freak out, as was getting cuts on everywhere on it's body, from nothing than just air... What took him so long.
"You really are messed up huh hercul... You really slitted the sky.... I leave you guys for one 1 second, and soon before I know it, the capital is at code grey and you're fight a yoma feared by even the guild council." I heard cw spoke, as he was resting on top of the mountain with his right arm resting on his lap, as he seats there while staring at the sky.
"always coming at the last second huh cw..." I spoke up, as the yoma now focused at cw, and had started to growl violently. "seems that it has noticed you already noticed you cw."
"i wasn't expecting you to help you know hercul.... Might as well show this demon it's maker." Cw said in a bored tone with his eyes now glowing pure smoky white, as the demon had blasted a dark energy beam that shot with so much force and heat that it basically created a shockwave that shook the very terrain. "this really is a bad view huh."
Booooooooom!!!
The blasted had collided with the top of the mountain, obliterating it in an instant as the heat from it was heating up the lake I was standing on, and had created a mist that blocked the whole terrain.
'could it have made a hit....' I questioned as there was no sign of cw. The yoma roar out, assuming victory... Until... I started to hear some foot steps from my right side, as to behold cw; who had not even a scratch on his body. "Hmm quite an escape."
"well what can I say... It's all in the eyes." Cw replied, as the yoma's roaring had come to a halt, as it then noticed cw and was very angry to find out that he was still alive. It started to charge towards us, as I got into a power stance, with my mana now fully back. "its charging towards us."
"Yeah I can see that! you got any plans?" I responded with a serious glare, as cw just smirk at me while summoning his chronicle.
"just try and keep up, kid!" cw responded, as he zoomed towards the charging yoma leaving a trail of white mana.
Aaaaahhhhhhhhh!
The yoma roared out, shooting a torrent of destructive energy at cw. As cw had started to slice and dice the beam into sparks of light, until delivering a quick slash onto the sides of the yoma's jaw, stopping it from shooting anymore projectiles.... But like an instant had started to heal from it. Cw frown at these as he started to deliver even more furious attacks at it, creating several shockwaves in the process.
"You might be able to regenerate fast, but not as fast as I rip you into shreds! Breath control: intercept!" cw chanted breathing out white steam, as his right eyes was now smoky white. He dashed towards the yoma, as he reached the yoma, time had started to slow down. Just like that cw had gone through the yoma, and with a booming sound; the yoma had being severed in two, and as it was just about to start healing. I immediately launched to the sky and had came down with a flaming fist, pounding on the injured yoma with incredible amount of force with in every impact.
"Not...yet!" I shouted out knowing that it was still not getting affected by this. I had jumped back to my former stance, as my whole body started to get encased with flames. "cw you mind helping out for a while."
"nice thinking kid, knowing that it won't be defeat by simple attacks so you're planning to use a greater one..." cw pointed out, as I just continued to focus on my mana. While cw had already started to launch his attacks on the yoma, but mostly targeting it's joints on the yoma's leg. 'not.... Yet.'
"i can't still believe that you still have that move... After its last cause!" cw Had swiftly cut out it's eyes, making it blind and had delivered a straight up slice at the yoma's back; making it face hercul fully. "BUT EVEN THOUGH! TAKE IT AWAY HERCUL!"
"its been long old friend, for this is the ancient art of aurora.... Let it flow... Bring forth." I dashed towards the yoma at great speed, while leaving a trial of flames on the surface of the lake. I appeared in front of the yoma's so fast that it create a loud boom. I then positioned myself in an upper cut stance, as my whole body was now in blood coloured flames from head to toe. "blazing star! IGNITE!"
I landed a swift upper cut to it's lower jaw, releasing a large shockwave that shook the entire terrain and beyond even to the sky, clearing all the clouds from the sky; revealing the sun.... Though with just one big difference in it's appearance.... It's color was blood red.
"This sure is a view... My best part of this move." Cw commented with a smile on his face, as the yoma's body started to turn to dust in the breeze. I maintained the pose for a while... Admiring the great view of the heavens.
"the red blood sun... the one outcome of the blazing star." I started to return to my former form, as my mana presence was very low, so low that I couldn't keep hold to my conscience... I can't, too tired... Need to rest.
"you tried Your best hercul... You're getting stronger... keep on moving, remember that the past is just the past" Cw calm me down, as he placed me on his back and had started to head back to the capital... The grey code breach.... Is over."
