"Blossom," Tamashi said while shaking her sister. Blossom opened her eyes, staring at Tamashi "what." She said in an annoyed tone. "Will you take me into the forest?" Tamashi said, sitting on Blossom's bed. Blossom sighed, sitting up and looking outside.
"Are mom and dad back?" she asked, turning her attention to Tamashi. "No Blossom and we both know there not coming back." The girl said, looking down at her hands. Blossom stayed silent for a moment, staring at her sister. Blossom hated seeing her like this; Tamashi was always a happy girl, when she was sad the world was sad.
"I know," Blossom said finally. "Anyways, can we please go?" Tamashi snapped back to her normal, happy self. "Ashi- "Blossom stared but was interrupted by Tamashi. "Please, please, please…" Tamashi kept saying please over and over.
Finally, after about an hour of Tamashi begging, blossom sighed "fine." She said getting up. "Yes! Thank you, thank you!" Tamashi said jumping up and running out of Blossom's room. Blossom smiled and shook her head; she knew she would do anything to protect her sister….anything. Blossom grabbed her bag before walking out of her door; Tamashi was sitting on the floor putting on her shoes.
Blossom walked over to her putting on her shoes as well. "Ready?" she said looking at Tamashi. "Yep! I'm ready!" Tamashi said jumping to her feet. Blossom smiled and walked out the door into a field of flowers and a few large oak trees.
Around Blossom and Tamashi's house was a large meadow, a bit away, a small mountain with a waterfall, and closer to their home, was a huge forest. The forest was full of danger, that's why Tamashi and Blossom almost never went into the forest. "Let's go sis!" Tamashi said running off. "Huh, Ashi wait up!" Blossom yelled running after her.
Tamashi laughed looking back at Blossom. Blossom caught up to Tamashi right before she entered the forest and put her hand onto Tamashi's shoulder.

"You need to be careful Ashi." She said looking into the forest. "I'll be fine, now come on!" Tamashi grabbed her sister's hand dragging her into the forest.
Blossom shook her head and sighed. Tamashi let go of her sister's hand and summoned her sword. "Ashi, why are you getting your sword?" Blossom tensed up, wondering if her sister sensed a danger she didn't. "Don't worry; I'm just using it to help me." Tamashi said throwing her sword into the middle of a large oak tree.
"With what?" Blossom questioned, eyeing her sister's sword. "With this." Tamashi said, before running forward, grabbing her sword, and flinging herself onto the lowest branch. "You're learning huh Tamashi." Blossom smirked copying Tamashi's movements. Tamashi smiled at her sister, climbing up the rest of the way.
Blossom stood on the branch for a little, looking around. She had a strong feeling that today was not with them, she felt as if something horrible would happen today, something possibly fatal. "Blossom! You coming?" Tamashi called. Blossom snapped back to her sister's voice.
"Sorry!" She called climbing to the top along with her sister. Tamashi was lying on a large branch of the oak tree, staring at the sky. "Tamashi! Why are you using your quirk!" Blossom yelled. "Relax, there only little balls of fire." Tamashi said staring at her sister.
"It's still dangerous, and we're on a tree Ashi, which makes it very dangerous." Blossom said.
"You're the one always saying I need to train my fire." Tamashi said getting up. "That's true but making balls of fire on an oak tree is not what I meant." Blossom glared at her sister. "Well, sensei says we should push our limits." Tamashi said, jumping onto the same branch as Blossom.
"Sensei probably doesn't want you starting a forest fire any more than I do Ashi." Blossom said ruffling her sister's hair. Tamashi laughed pushing Blossom's head away. "Don't push me away little Shīkā." Blossom said lightly pushing her

sister. Tamashi stuck her tongue out at her sister before running along to branch and jumping onto the nearest tree.
"Bet you can't catch me!" she teased her sister, before jumping to the next tree. "Hey! Get back here little Shīkā!" Blossom yelled chasing after her. The two kept jumping trees until Blossom lost sight of Tamashi. "Ashi?" she called looking around while jumping trees.
Suddenly she spotted her sister crouching down on a tree branch. "Ashi- "Blossom was about to say something when she was interrupted by her sister pointing to the ground. Blossom crouched beside her looking to where she was pointing, there was a black figure. The figure had huge black and red horns, along with a giant pair of wings to match, maybe ten times the size of their winged hero's wings.
"That's...The unspeakable evil isn't it." Tamashi whispered to her sister. "Yes, it is." Blossom whispered back to her. "But who are the other two with him?" Tamashi whispered. Behind the "unspeakable evil" where two girls, one looked about the girls age, with a long white ponytail and dark brown eyes, the other was young, too young for Blossom's comfort, she looked around...Five, maybe six?
And this young girl looked dangerous to Blossom, this young girl had solid black hair with a neon blue fade, her eyes were completely black, and she had a pair of large wolf ears and four large tails behind her. "I don't know Ashi." Blossom admitted, still eyeing them "But we need to go." Blossom finished. "What! But look at those girls, they clearly don't want to be with him, we have to help them!" Tamashi looked at her sister. Blossom watched the girls, yes, the young one did look like she didn't want to be with either of them, or the other girl however…Blossom didn't like her.
"Fine, but we need a plan." Blossom looked at her sister. "I have a good one." Tamashi said, summoning her sword. "Tamashi no! You can't take on the unspeakable evil!" Blossom grabbed her sister's wrist. "Fine, then what's your plan." Tamashi said calling her sword back.

"You have good leg strength, hang from that branch there and pull them up, I'll take care of them from there." Blossom said pointing to a branch right above the young girl. Tamashi nodded and made her way towards the branch. "Luki, take project 2.0 and find a place for us to stay for the day, I hate this bright Sun." the unspeakable evil said covering himself with one of his large wings. Luki bowed her head "yes my lord." She said before getting up and looking at Project 2.0.
"Hey kid," Tamashi said, she was hanging upside down putting her hands out. Project 2.0 stood up showing large black wings. "Who are you." She said. Tamashi flinched at the dullness in her voice, but now that she had a closer look at the girl, she noticed scars covering her.
"My name is Tamashi Seto, and I and my sister are here to help you." Tamashi said holding her hand out to the girl. Luki walked up beside Project 2.0 "go on 2.0 go with her." Luki said. Project 2.0 walked over to Tamashi and grabbed her hands. Tamashi gave a warm smile before pulling the girl up onto a branch where Blossom grabbed her and back her up into a thick canopy of leaves.
The two repeated the same process for Luki and started jumping trees with the two. Once they landed on the ground Tamashi turned to face them, "Alright, like I said I am Tamashi Seto." Tamashi bowed her head. "And this is my sister, Blossom Seto." She continued. Blossom simply waved to the girls.
"Who are you two?" Tamashi asked. "I am luki robins." Luki said, bowing her head as well. "Project 2.0 my purpose is to serve and protect." The girl said, bowing her head. "Project 2.0? What kind of a name is that?" Tamashi asked.
"My parents never named me, when I reached the lab, I was named Project 2.0" she said looking at Tamashi. "Well, I don't like it, let's give you a real name!" Tamashi said starting to think. "Mimi, her name should be Mimi." Blossom said looking at Tamashi. "What do you think?" Tamashi asked, looking at Project 2.0.

The girl remained silent for a moment before nodding. "I like it." Mimi said smiling at the twins. "Then, you name will be Mimi!" Tamashi said happily. "Now, why is the unspeakable evil out?" Blossom asked.
"He plans to take over the 7 realms, we have idea of what his motive is, but he plans to start with this one." Luki said. Tamashi gasped "Muzumi!" she yelled. "Tamashi, Muzumi has her family, her little siblings, her older brother, and her parents are all very powerful, I think we need to take these people and find a safe place." Blossom said sadly looking at Tamashi. "But she might need us, we're heroes, aren't we? It's our job to protect people!" Tamashi yelled.
Blossom sighed, "Fine, let's go save our friend." She said. "We will come with you, you girls saved our lives, allow us to help you." Luki said, stepping forward. Blossom nodded "Thank you Luki, Mimi." She said. When Blossom looked back to Tamashi, she was already running off towards Muzumi's home.
Blossom watched as luki run after her. "Can you run fast?" she asked looking at Mimi. Mimi smiled as a black cloud of smoke surrounded her, when she stepped out, she was no longer human. But a wolf, a black wolf that seemed to glow.
"Guess that's a, yes?" blossom asked.
Mimi nodded before taking off running after the two. Blossom smiled using her quirk to make ice form under her and growing it under her as well, using it to move fast towards Tamashi, Luki, and Mimi. "If we get there and there under attack, what do we do?" Blossom said moving her ice close to her sister. "We fight. Muzumi's family has saved our lives many times, for villains…they have the heart of heroes. So, it's time we repay our debut." Tamashi said, summoning her sword.
"Sounds like a plan." Blossom said summoning her sword as well. "I like how you guys think." Luki said, smiling. Mimi just growled, though, what do you expect from a wolf? When the four got to Muzumi's house, it was indeed under attack.

Blossom rushed into the house along with the others as they split up. "Hello again Muzumi." Blossom said as she blocked the sword of her opponent with her own. "Hey Blossom!" Muzumi said, taking her gloves off. (Side character profile. Name: Muzumi Chiaski. Age/Gender: 18, female. Looks: medium white hair and amber eyes. Power: decay, anything she touches with all five fingers decays.)
Muzumi jumped over Blossom touching him and causing him to decay. "Come on sis! You know you're not the only one with a deadly touch, right?" Teddy said sadly, clearly, she wanted to take the guy out. (Side character profile. Name: Teddy Chiaski. Age/Gender: 13, female. Looks: short brown hair and brown eyes, missing right arm since birth. Power: overhaul, anything she touches she can use to change its atoms; she can even change her own body.) Teddy turned and reassembled a nearby desk into a temporary arm.
"You're not old enough to even start training yet, go back to papa!" Akio called to Teddy. (Side character profile. Name: Akio (error). Age/Gender: 20, male. Looks: very tall, with white hair, and blue eyes. Power: wings, he has two large white wings on his back, and can control each feather telepathically.) "To bad Akio, we're righting!" Arai said flying straight into an enemy and pushing them out the window. "Papa's going to be mad" Muzumi warned.
"Papa? I'm more worried about Mama!" Arai said, smiling. "And for good reason." Tamashi said recalling how mad "mama" got last time they fought. Soon, they had driven off the enemies and all meant up. "Blossom, Tamashi, thank you for coming, we could've done it alone, but we needed the help…just in case." Muzumi said, bowing her head to the twins.
"Just in case? You totally needed our help!" Tamashi teased. "No, we didn't!" Arai said sticking his tongue out at Tamashi. Tamashi laughed while ruffling the boy's hair. "Muzumi, you have those "legends" or whatever, do you know anything about the unspeakable evil being freed?" Blossom asked.
"Actually, yes, I do, why?" Muzumi asked. "Tell us." Blossom said, "Please?" Tamashi added. "Hope, Faith, Beauty, Will, Family, Trust, freedom, and power will unite, they shall fight he that goes by many names, but these 8 must

beware of that of death that lurks." Muzumi said. "Well, those sound like life sources." Mimi said.
"Then we need to find these people." Luki said to the others. Luki, Mimi, Arai, and Muzumi started talking, but Blossom realized her sister was lost in thought. "Ashi? You ok?" she asked, putting her hand on Tamashi's shoulder. "Blossom, my life core is hope…do you think I'm...One of them?" Tamashi asked, looking at her sister. Blossom stood there in silence for a bit, her sister was right.
Her core was hope, and she had no doubt that her sister was strong enough. "If you are, then I'll still be there to help you." Blossom finally said. Tamashi looked her sister straight in the eyes, before hugging her. Blossom stood there for a good minute before hugging Tamashi back.
"I promised I'd always protect you, didn't I little Shīkā?" Blossom said while rubbing her sister's back. "Yes, and you better keep that promise." Tamashi said.
Chapter 2
Tamashi, Blossom, Luki, Mimi, and Arai where traveling through the woods. Arai, after he heard the prophecy, he decided he wanted to help, Muzumi allowed him to come and promised to cover for him. "So, anyone have an idea on where to start?" Blossom asked, turning her head to look back at the group. "Well, the Azrail guy, if were looking for an angel of death, I'd say the animal realm or the dead realm." Luki said. "We can rule out the animal realm, there is no angels of death, only risen demons, and there only the royal family." Mimi said.
"You seem to know a lot about the royal family, you talk a lot about them." Arai pointed out, looking at Mimi. Mimi just glared at him. "Mimi's mom and dad are queen Rose and king Thorn, the parents to the royal family, and the worst villains of the animal realm, she was born and raised in the void and has never meant her siblings." Luki said, putting a hand on Mimi's shoulder. Blossom looked

away, whatever the group said next did not concern her, this "Azrail" was in the dead realm, and they needed a way to get in without dying in the process.
"Ashi!" Blossom called. Tamashi walked over to her sister, "what Blossom?" she asked. "We need someone to act as a ghost so we can enter the dead realm, can you transform?" Blossom said, turning her head to her sister. "Blossom, I can't transform unless I know exactly what they look like." Tamashi answered, looking at her sister sadly.
"Wait here" Blossom said, sneaking off into a nearby bush. If Tamashi needed a ghost to transform, Blossom would have to knock one out and bring it to her…the only problem is, how do you knock out a ghost? Blossom was trying to think of some way when he saw a young boy walking over to the portal of the dead realm and talk to the guard. He must be a physical ghost. Blossom thought.
A physical ghost was a person who died, came back, but still had their physical body. Upon looking at the boy, she realized he had pure white skin, like a vampire, he also had black hair with little white streaks running through it, and finally…he wore a mask to cover his eyes. The boy suddenly knocked out the guard and looked at the bush Blossom was in. "you going to come out or…?" The boy asked, still staring at the bush.
"How did you-…" Blossom said while standing up. "I'm a ghost. I can sense human entities." The boy said. "Right, forgot about that." Blossom rubbed her neck, a nervous tick that ran in her family. "Now go get your friends, I'll get you guys' in." The boy said.
"Alright." Blossom started to walk away but stopped. "Hey…what's your name?" she added. "Call me Az." Az looked at Blossom. "No, I want your real name." Blossom said.
Az stayed silent for a moment before turning away, Blossom just sighed and walked away. "Alright I got us a way in." Blossom said once she arrived. "What? How" Luki asked, eying Blossom. "I'll explain on the way, now come on." Blossom turned around and walked off, soon followed by the others.
18 / 36
As they walked, Blossom explains how she meant Az while trying the find a way for them to sneak in. Soon, they arrived back at the portal, and when they did Tamashi walked over to Az. "Hello, I'm Tamashi Seto." Tamashi said, in her normal happy tone. "You've already meant my sister, Blossom, and the others are Mimi, Luki, and Arai." Tamashi looked back to the group.
"Me, my sister, and Arai come from the hero realm. Mimi and Luki come from the void." Tamashi said the last part a bit warily. "Nice to meet you all, I'm Az." Az nodded, a gesture meaning he took note of the wariness in Tamashi's voice and understood why it was there. "What's with your mask?" Luki asked. Mimi elbowed her.
"Excuse my friend, she doesn't know what she says is rude." Mimi said, bowing her head in an apology. "It's fine, now then. Let's head in, shall we?" Az said while gesturing towards the portal to the dead realm. Az turned and walked into the portal followed by Tamashi, Blossom, Mimi, and finally Luki. The realm they entered was almost the polar opposite of the Hero Realm.
The Hero Realm was a place of huge cities, beautiful views, hundreds of animals, and clear skies…the Dead Realm however…the Dead Realm's only town in sight was a small, old, village, the only place you'd get a good view was a tall mountain in the distance, but even there you might not, with how many clouds were up there…there was no way you'd be able to see, the skies were black and grey, with dark grey clouds that stretched as far as the human eye could see, and the only animal was the sound of crickets coming from a deep forest with huge oak trees and as much fog as clouds in the sky.
"Is your home in that town?" Tamashi asked. Even if Tamashi was trying her best to hide it, Blossom could hear the fear in her sister's voice, and she didn't blame her. This place was creepy with a side of death and a class of paranormal to wash it all down. "No, it's in there." Az said.
With a tinge of horror, Blossom realized that Az's finger was pointing to the thick forest next to the town. "I'm getting horror movie vibes here." Luki said while turning her sights from Az to the forest. "Trust me, Slender man forest is a
19 / 36
horror movie." Az said. Az started off towards the forest, leaving the others staring at him.
"What are you guys waiting for? If we want to find the people, we're looking for we have no choice but to follow him." It was Mimi. Blossom knew that Mimi was dedicated to this mission, the unspeakable evil had caused her to be the blank girl she is now. Blossom just looked at Mimi, how could someone hurt a girl like her? What had she been like before?
Why did her family use her? Who is the rest of her family? Most importantly, what did she know about Luki that the others didn't. blossom could see it, the look in her eyes when she stared at Luki, it was pure hatred.
Every time Luki gave them a bit of information, or offered to help, Mimi would shut up all together, expect of course, when Luki said something rude. It puzzled Blossom, but she had a feeling, Luki is not who she says she is. "I agree with Mimi, if we want to find these people, we should follow him." Luki said and Mimi gave Luki that look again. "I agree." There was a hint of venom in Blossoms voice as she spoke.
"Tamashi?" Luki said, turning her head to look at Tamashi. Everyone copied Luki's movement. Blossom could tell by the look on Tamashi's face, she was terrified. And Blossom knew exactly why.
Flashback (tamashi's Pov)…..
The night was pitch black. Fog covered the forest, making it almost impossible to see, rain poured down. Footsteps of a single, barefoot person caused dead leaves to crunch and fly up in the air. About five minutes after that, the sound of at least twenty others did the same.
They were onto me. I gripped my rabbit plushy, Mr. Hopps, tight against my chest. My black hair flew wildly behind me, with the little white strands showing. Those white strands, the reason they're after me.
