Part 0: Beginning of the End.
Arc 2: Battle for Karitori Chiku.
(Through the streets of Karitori Chiku, an endless amount of hell hounds are stalking around, searching for anyone or anything to attack... they are ruthless beasts, deprived of emotions, that know no fear... until they hear the maniac laughter of one Aragoto Gogo as he slaughters them all.)
Aragoto: (He kicks a hell hound into the air as it bounces away from him, he catches the hound by its hind legs and uses it to smack the rest over the head.) Haha! Jericho, I'm already ahead of you, I'll make sure my tab is high!!!
Jericho: (She uses her String Elementa to sever the head of the hounds, her Elementa can be used for many things, ranging from cutting off the heads and limbs of opponents to creating traps with it and melee weapons.) Oh, screw you!!!
(As Aragoto breaks into uncontrollable laughter, he gets smacked straight into an alleyway and through the wall of one of the shops.)
Jericho: Aragoto!!!
Aragoto: (He picks the rubble and bricks right off him.) Gaahhhhh, shoulda stayed in bed. (He jumps to his feet.) Who done gone did that?
(Out of the shadows of the alley on the opposite side of the road, emerges a beast, with olive skin stretching across thin bones. On the back of the beast are spikes, protruding out, yet still covered by a thin layer of skin. The face of the beast is like that of a wolf, missing one of its eyes, the other one looks at Aragoto, the red eye filled with a fiery hatred. Its paws are shaped like that of a hand, with six sharp fingers, scrapping across the ground. It sniffs out Aragoto and roars at him, he just stands observing it, with his hands in his pockets.)
The beast: (Although its mouth doesn't move, it speaks to Aragoto in a low voice, seeping with hatred and anger.) Aragoto!!!
Aragoto: Yo.
The beast: You remember me?!
Aragoto: Not at all, the hell are you?! (Frustration grows on the beast's face.) Nah, I'm just needling with ya... Helloth, prince of the Hounds... demon of the northern Sengoku. I assume you're behind this?
Helloth: Yes.
Aragoto: Revenge?
Helloth: Isn't that what you wanted? Wasn't it your purpose?
Aragoto: ...you learn a lot when you live for 509 years.
Helloth: You have the chance now, to restore your shitty "honor."
Aragoto: Honor died along with Rin Mirai and I am no Samurai anymore. If I kill you, then the hell hounds'll stop coming, that right?
Helloth: You can tr-
Aragoto: (He teleports right in front of Helloth and delivers an uppercut.) I'll take that as a yes.
(Inside the training camp, a Reaper is leaning into a garbage can as he pukes in it and Gabriela pats him on the back.)
Louis: (He stands behind the Reaper.) What's wrong with him?
Gabriela: He's in shock and incredibly fearful. We've barely had any training and now we're putting our lives on the line, I guess second chances always come with the biggest burdens.
Louis: I guess. (He walks up to Kelly who is analyzing a map of the town.) What are you doing?
Kelly: Looking at the map, trying to find a safe spot, high enough, with enough of a flat surface for Team one to retreat to if we run out of ammunition and we're outrun... I've got it!!! HAHAHAHA I'VE GOT IT!!! Mr. Suzuki come take a look at this! (Suzuki walks over to the table that Kelly is standing at.) There are two paths to the town, south, and north.
Suzuki: Yes.
Kelly: Team one is taking the south entrance since it's the most compact and filled with the hounds since it's the shopping and business district. And team two is going to the north, the residential and urban district to escort out most of the civilians. Now, what lies at the dead center of the town? (He circles the center building.) The weapons and munitions store.
Suzuki: So what are you playing at?
Kelly: Team one is split into two groups. One from the north, the other from the south. They fight through the hordes, diverting the attention of the beasts into two different places. They'll both push to the town center where they meet up at the store, where they can refill and rest and go back into the fight until backup arrives.
Louis: Orrr we all die, which is also a possiblity.
Suzuki: Hmmm. Alright, everyone listen up!
(Inside the building where Sam and Isabel are hiding, they are laughing as Sam finishes telling the story.)
Sam: (He takes a sip of his drink.) .... .... Then we had to spend the rest of the day searching for Able's pants in that field.
(Isabel can't hold it anymore as she breaks down in laughter and Sam just shakes his head with a grin on his face.)
Sam: What about you? You got any stories?
Isabel: I wish. What's your type, Sam?
Sam: Well the last person that ask me that got hit by my brother's car, you sure you wanna ask that?
Isabel: Yep, we're both gonna die in a few moments anyway.
Sam: .... cosplayers....
Isabel: Ha, nice.
Sam: Yeah. (He hears the sound of swords clashing outside, and Able going "WOHOHOOO" "LET'S ROCK" and "THAT ALL YOU GOT!!!") Is that...? (He moves the cupboard and looks out the window and sees Able still engaged in battle with Asmodeus.) It is. (He sits back down.) Wow.
Isabel: What is it?
Sam: Nothing, just my brother seemingly having fun while fighting for his life.
Isabel: Well as long as he's having fun.
(Able's sword clashes with Asmodeus on equal ground, although Able seems to treat this all as a joke.)
Able: Maybe if you got rid of that man-bun then you might actually be able to fight goldilocks.
Asmodeus: ENOUGH!!! (He hits Able with the blade's grip and shoves him backward.) I came here to duel the son of the great Arthurias, not some prepubescent teenager!!!
Able: (He starts slowly getting back to his feet.) You know, according to mythology.net, Asmodeus is one of the "seven princes of hell," a demon whose wickedness is matched only by his talent. He specializes in spreading lust, and he doesn't just prey on common people. Kings, queens, and even divine beings have been affected by his touch! But if I were put in a room with you, and the ugliest man alive, and I had two bullets, I'd shoot the ugly guy, and then me.
Asmodeus: Where are you going with this?
(Able throws a note with the words "one free plastic surgery, courtesy of Dr. Pendragon" written on it at Asmodeus' feet. He looks down at the note, and Able takes advantage of the situation and swings Excalibur at him. Asmodeus dodges back just in the nick of time, but it leaves a massive scar on his forehead.)
Able: That looks better. (Asmodeus wipes the blood off his forehead and even puts some in his mouth.) Oh... you're piss-
(Asmodeus choke slams Able straight into the pavement, grabs him by the collar, and throws him through a window down the street.)
Asmodeus: Don't get so cocky!!!
(At the train station, the Dusk Walker is leaning against the wall, looking at his watch. When none other than Angelo runs past him, Dusk Walker grabs him the sleeve as he tries to go past him.)
Dusk Walker: (Honestly... just fucking read this in a Troy Baker voice.) And where might you be going?
Angelo: I'm getting out of here you madman!!!
Dusk Walker: (He turns Angelo around.) Ahhhh no-no-no-no-no-no-nooo, our deal was, you get Samuel, and I get to kill a few Reapers. But right now, the only Reaper I see here... (He points his gun at Angelo's head.) Is you. Do you believe in rebirth, Mr. Reggio?
Angelo: No!
Dusk Walker: I do. Oh God, you don't want to know how much I love that concept. Dying and then living a life completely different from your last, a new destiny, a new everything. But yet... unable to still shape it for yourself, it is the order of some divine being for it to be that way huh? Let's see what your next life is like.
(Angelo closes his eyes as Dusk Walker pulls the trigger, only to realize it is unloaded and the round inside the barrel was already fired.)
Dusk Walker: (He puts away the pistol.) Guess you won't experience rebirth just yet. (He folds his arms.) But go before I force you to. (Angelo literally bolts at max speed away from him.) Fuckin' Deadly Sins.
(The ground rises train emerges from underneath the train station, the railroads are built under the ground for protection should the need arise that the town must be evacuated.)
Dusk Walker: Bingo.
(He loads the pistol and walks into the train.)
Train Conductor: Hey you're not allowed in here!!! Wait what are y-...
(The gunshot echoes through the town as the Reapers and Hunters arrive, riding horses created from their Magica, the greatest companion of a Reaper and Hunters, it allows them to traverse easier as well as get away from a problem since the horse has unlimited stamina and is far faster than normal horses. Team One North is led by Origami and Team One South is led by Kelly.)
Peter: Why couldn't I be the Team leader?
Mia Skeldon: (She is about 5'3ft tall, with long cinnamon brown hair tied into a ponytail and dark grey eyes, she looks to be about 20 years old.) Because... we'd all be dead!!!
Peter: (He hangs his head.) You could've at least given me a chance.
Origami: (She turns around to face them.) Alright... I'm going to go find Sam, give me five minutes.
(Origami speeds into town, leaving everyone behind.)
Peter: ORIGAMI!!!
Mia: Well. (She pats Peter on the back.) Go ahead... TEAM LEADER.
Peter: (He turns to face the group, pride on his face, and dedication in his heart.) *Clears throat* YOU ALL MAY DIE. *Intense Awkward Silence* That is all.
"Well, at least he's honest."
(At the south entrance of the town, Team One and Two breaks apart as two rides into the suburbs and One stands at the entrance of the town.)
Kelly: Alright, I know some of you might not have faith in me, or in my leadership, but I ensure that this plan WILL work. We fight through the town until we reach the center where the munitions are, both South and North will regroup there where we'll continue the fight. Now let's go kick some demonic butt!!! (He raises his sword in the air.) Let's go! The battle for Karitori Chiku has begun!!!
Louis: (He hears the chants of Kelly's group.) They're enthusiastic.
Erik: Wish we were all like that.
Louis: Hey, like they say. Stare into the darkness long enough, and you can see through it.
Erik: Who said that?
Louis: ME.
(The two teams ride into hell, desperate to save the lives of not only others but themselves. While a century-old battle rages against demon and man, and two warriors stand their own in a dance of blades.)
Chapter 13: End.
