"No man's land at this hour? That madness suicide even for you". Shouted Bell as she tries to stop Kiyoshi. To which the samurai replied if I can not survive one night what is happening to your son right now as he left, leaving Bella speechless.
Kiyoshi ventures back through the town but now it was like a ghost town. With not a single soul in sight not even a rat or a roach. Just a malice and venomous feeling in the air.
"We must hurry before it is too late remarked Kiyoshi as he quickly headed to No man's land. Outside of the town, the air itself became more hostile and angry, as it got heavier and heavier the more Kiyoshi, ventured in
"How could a kid survive this? The negative energy around this land is bitter even for me". Remarked Kiyoshi as near the center of the land where the battle took place.
"Then we must hurry Kiyo for who knows how long the boy has to live in this disaccord environment". Replied Lilly as Kiyoshi had stopped just short of the battle site.
"This is where all the evil energy is being manifested from", remarked Kiyoshi as he stretched his left hand towards the area before collapsing due to pressure coming from the site.
"Are you ok kiddo"? Shouted Tyrook from within the sword. "Am fine just the negative pressure was a lot even for me", replied Kiyoshi.
"Then you will have to use the Chi no yoroi that should make you withstand the pressure inside". Remarked Kivuli as Kiyoshi brings himself back up on his feet.
"Fine, Dete kite chi no yoroi reberuzero", Kiyoshi shouted as he drew his sword. The blood stains on the sword began floating around him before swirling around him at high speeds before stopping and beginning to take shape around Kiyoshi's body.
The blood formed parts of a samurai's armor around Kiyoshi. The blood formed a pair of Tekko ( hand guards), a Kote ( sleeve armor), a pair of Sode ( shoulder armor and a menpo mask that covered half of Kiyoshi's face.
The partial armor was red in color with what appeared clusters of tortured and damn faces in horrifying facial expressions running down the middle of the Tekko, Kote, and Sode. With the pattern of a black traditional Japanese dragon running allow their edges. The mask was also red with long white fangs hanging from each side with four small black teeth between them. The pieces of armor all release a reddish-purplish mist on them which gave off a hellish feel to them.
Giving Kiyoshi the look of a true demon samurai as the mist surrounded his body.
"Now that geared up, time to go rescue the boy". Kiyoshi remarked as he attempted to move forward. As walked he was stopped by some sort of invisible barrier which prevented him from moving forward into the land. He push with all his might against the invisible barrier until he fell into the underside face first.
After the initial shock of embarrassment left his body, Kiyoshi rose to his feet to find that the nature of the landscape had completely changed. But that is impossible he told himself as that land a few seconds ago was a barring wasteland now he had entered a land full of life with a forest on the side. But what shocked him the most is that he was in the middle of a battle taking place, with hundreds of men clashing into each other trying to kill the man in front of them.
"Impossible these men weren't here a second ago." Shouted Kiyoshi as he begins to venture into the warzone.
"It is like wherein another realm or place in time." Remarked Kivuli as Kiyoshi overlook the battle was taking place.
As Kiyoshi looked on he notice something strange. He noticed that one of the warring factions, where soldiers of Zion but that was not the strange part what was really strange, was the uniform they had on. The uniform was last used about seven years ago due to the lack of neck protection they were changed for more modern warfare and tactical uses.
Also, Kiyoshi noticed that the soldiers didn't take notice of Kiyoshi's presence as if they couldn't see him. But what was most shocking was what was happening to the men on the battlefield. When one soldier was killed by another soldier the two combatants' bodies will then turn to dust and the fight would start over until the same soldier was killed again where the cycle would start over again.
"We're in a time-lapse", shouted Kiyoshi as he realized what was happening around him.
"That's why we didn't notice the battle before, we were outside the time-lapse and that invisible force you felt earlier must have been the time-lapse energy field. I wouldn't have thought that a time-lapse would be the reason for the disturbance of the town and the land. But what could be the source of it." Lilly remarked as Kiyoshi continued venturing through the battlefield watching men kill each other over and over again.
"The boy isn't here", remarked Tyrook. "He must be in the forest ahead", shouted Lilly as Kiyoshi stops in front of the forest entrance.
"Kivuli you know what to do", shouted Kiyoshi as Kivuli appeared behind him as a shadowy humanoid in a suit with no face before merging with the ground and taking off.
"Guess it's just us then Kiyo", remarked Lilly as Kiyoshi slowly approaches the forest.
"You and Tyrook please stay in the sword no matter what, I don't know what will happen if you two were outside and your demonic aura mixes with the time-lapse am already taking a huge risk with Kivuli". Shouts Kiyoshi as Tyrook and Lilly agree to stay put within the sword unless Kiyoshi's life is in danger.
As he enters the forest a cold ominous wind hits him from the depths of the forest. This shakes the samurai's belief that the boy is alive and Kiyoshi remarks this might be the first mission that he fails.
