Entering the temple, the temple's light was very dim, he had thought going back to the Sentōkis outside, but what help could they offer in this situation, he was sure they didn't possess power that undimmed light.
Letting out a frustrated sigh " I should just try to clean at least it's not completely dark." He quickly deeped the mop in the bucket and began his cleaning.
Cleaning deeper into the temple, he could hear whispers. At first he ignored it thinking it was his imagination but then the whispers got louder until he could hear words.
"You need power, I could give you power just free me."
Goosebumps all over his body, with his now past experience, he knew better than to follow the voice.
Turning back to the entrance the dimmed light seemed to quench, the whole place was outright dark.
Frustrated he remained motionless until he could see light sprout out from somewhere.
"There must be an exit over there for sure." Kibo thought and decided to check it out.
He arrived at the source of the light, It was a glowing transparent crystal ball held up by what seemed like a stone pillar with a black substance continually flowing in it.
Soon the voices started again, images flashed in his head, he could see himself in a trance like event, only this version of him looked very powerful with people bowing to him.
"You need power, I can make you powerful, powerful than any being alive, only touch the crystal." The voice kept whispering in his ears continually.
Kibo was in a confused state, he tried resisting, but the voices were right, he was still filled with anger of his encounter with Ishiki, his parents who sent him here in the first place, the Supreme Senshi who gave him a punishment despite his Innocence, he knew if he was stronger than he is now, maybe… just maybe the results would have turned out to his favor.
Spontaneously he streched his finger towards the crystal.
"Bang!"
A loud bang, was heard followed by outright darkness.
Slowly opening his eyes, he could see the dim light of the temple again, his body ached.
"Wonder how long I was knocked out."
Soon the recent events started flashing back to him.
"The… the voices they stopped." "The Crystal!" Kibo shouted in an alarming tone.
Suddenly jerking up from the ground he moved to where he had remembered seeing the crystal.
"It's…it's gone." Kibo's sighed. Looking at the broken crystal with the black substance no longer in it.
With the aid of the dim light he approached the exit of the temple.
Arriving at the entrance of the temple the Sentōkis were no longer there, blood Stains scattered every where, following the traces of the blood Stains, his eyes caught up with a unmasked Shadow Sentōki with a creepy smile holding a head and next to him a headless body with the Sentōki's armour.
He could feel his legs wobbly, different thoughts flowed through his head, he knew this wasn't a friend. Immediately his reflexes came into action, without much thought he dashed in the opposite direction but before he could cover a reasonable distance the being was now in front of him.
Halting his face full of shocked expressions
"How did it get here so fast, am sure it stood motionless before." Kibo thought.
He knew better than to continue his escapade, so he stood motionless, tears dropping continuously from his face, directly in front of him the figure stood with it's creepy smile that didn't seem to twitch. He felt completely helpless.
The figure approached Kibo slowly until it was just few metres away from him,
"Ki…..bo" it said slowly, with a creepy tone.
Bending towards the motionless body of Kibo he whispered something to his ears and then disintegrated immediately.

Some Sentōkis on patrol who seemed occupied with some discussion where brought to halt by a sudden sound.
"You three go check where that came from." A Sentōki who seemed to be in a higher position ordered.
Immediately three Sentōkis with their blades drawn, ran towards the direction the sound was heard.
Arrrgh! Wahhhh!
Loud screams where heard followed immediately after, putting the others on alert, they could see one of the Sentōkis running out from out far frightened but before he could get close something out from behind impaled him in the stomach.
Immediately a figure in a blood stained Sentōki armour with a creepy smile approached them slowly. The other Sentōkis who had long drawn their blades and we're in battle stance, on sighting the figure sent one of theirs to inform the others of the intruder.
In no time, the figure was in front of them with his hands taking the shape of a blade.
The Sentōkis caught off guard by its speed were to slow to defend themselves as the figure slided past them slicing their heads off cleaning with the creepy smile still in his face.
Soon numerous Sentōkis were running towards the intruder. The other Sentōki had delivered the message, without any message from the others, they assumed their colleague might need some help.
Now arriving at the sight where the Intruder was last seen, headless Sentōkis could be seen with a figure walking past the bodies.
Without further hesitation they charged towards the figure but we're taken aback by the speed at which he sliced past them. After fighting this much Sentōkis his stamina didn't seem to run out, no this isn't human.
Slash! Slip! Whish! Stab!
In no time there were dead bodies every where the being walked past them still with his creepy smile. "Humans and their ideology of being the strongest in existence, THEY DON'T KNOW." The being said while giggling childishly.
The unresponsiveness from the backup sent confirmed the other Sentōkis hunch that they were under a full fledged attack. Who would be stupid enough to attack the great Shadow Sentōkis?"
A loud bell-like sound could be heard immediately Sentōkis ran out with their blades in their hands all in battle stance.
Meanwhile at the recruits building, from the first to the third final year recruits were seen together in a large hall.
The Shireis in charge of the various recruits where giving them briefing on the current situation, some third year students were given weapons and charged to watch the other recruits.
Boosh! Boom!
A sudden large barge is heard, the door broken, a headless body flew into the hall.
Silence enveloped everybody as though expecting something else. After sometime one of the Shireis boldly stepped towards the body and then the entrance.
"Arrrgh." The Captian screamed painfully.
Immediately a blade burst past his chest and came out from his back.
The other Shireis, Sentōkis and third year recruits had their blades out with the armed third recruits in front of the other recruits.
Immediately the whole room turned dark.
Stab! Stab! Arrrg! Show yourself! Oosh! Over here! Whish!
Screaming and sword sounds could be heard periodically, then the lights came back, the only person who seemed alive was a tall man with orange spiked hair who seemed to be in his late twenties, Daichi Kei.
His whole face covered with sweat, traces of fear on his face, with his blades in his hands that shook slightly continuously, on the floor dead bodies could be seen some impaled some decapitated and most both.
"Show yourself, show yourself you coward" Daichi screamed frustrated. Continuously turning around not wanting to be caught off guard.
"You, I remember you, you were there." The figure said, now standing directly in front of Daichi.
Daichi swiftly swung his blade, but the being dodged it with much ease.
He moved to it's direction and swung the blade even more faster this time, but the being just disintegrated and reappeared at the back of Daichi.
Daichi before he could react could feel something impale him, immediately blood dropped out of his mouth his legs felt loose causing him to drop to his knees.
"Your….[coughing out blood]. "Your End…. Is near." Daichi said in a cracking cold voice, immediately lieing flat after.

In a building, the Supreme Senshi could be seen in the room with three Sentōkis they were unmasked meaning they were high ranked Sentōkis, they seemed to be seriously interacting.
"The time has come already, the boy…. The boy has released the Kurai Sonzai. "The prophecy has been began, "A great evil will be re-awakened, it's end shall come from the cause if it's beginning." The Supreme Senshi who had a tired look said slowly.
"Master forgive my curiosity but do you think there is a chance we might contradict the prophecy, it clearly said, from it's cause it's end shall come." One of the Sentōkis asked.
"The boy is clearly just a boy, and definitely has no offspring too, we can't afford to wait knowing fully well the catastrophe the Kurai Sonzai can cause in a small amount of time, even if it means sacrificing our lives we must erase it's existence." The Supreme Senshi replied, now slowly putting on his battle gears.
"You know what to do, we must be fully prepared for it's arrival." The Supreme Senshi ordered. Immediately the three Sentōkis left the room
The Supreme Senshi fully dressed in the Sentōkis armour all alone in the room approached his table shifting it to reveal an underground safe. He opened the safe and in it was something wrapped in cloth. He whispered to himself "All this is was my mistake, I must put this to a stop before more lives are lost.
***
The three Sentōki Shireis where now outside the building.
Various dead bodies could be seen impaled or decapitated, everywhere was dead quiet.
"Hmmmm it seems the Kurai Sonzai has been busy." One of the Sentōkis sighed with disgusted a face.
"Well we know what do to do, let's begin." Another Said to the others. Immediately drawing out his Katana from it's sheath.
The Sentōkis Shireis might be powerful but they were no match for the Kurai Sonzai, not even with their current number. The plan was to stalk the being until the Supreme Senshi had finished preparing his killer weapon.
"I can't remember you hiding this much, or could it be your new precaution to not be trapped again." One of the Sentōki Shouted towards an empty space.
"Or is the great Kurai Sonzai now scared of mortal humans?" Another taunted.
A growling sound was heard and immediately the Kurai Sonzai was in front of them not wasting time, it thrust it's sword shaped hands towards the direction of the last Sentōki who spoke.
But the Sentōki barely dodged the strike, immediately the other two charged towards the Kurai Sonzai at both sides, skillful swinging their Katanas not giving it any chance to emphasize on.
The Kurai Sonzai who had initially been in at the offensive was now trying to ward of the attacks coming from the now three Sentōkis his creepy smile had now faded leaving him with a serious stare.
Clang! Clang! Swash! Clang!
Although the Kurai Sonzai was not human and would probably not be hurt by mortal weapons, the body he possessed was still human meaning it could still be hurt by mortal weapons forcing him to find another host which currently the only set of people still alive around were the ones trying to kill it, meaning possessing them might be almost impossible.
Worst of all the Sentōkis katana blade was no ordinary sword, it was made from a very rare element called aroid, and this made their katana as fast as light, with it's killing efficiency far superior to that of a normal sword.
The Kurai Sonzai now facing three well trained Sentōkis equipped with this deadly weapon, knew escaping this fight without a severe injury will be dangerous even with its power.
The Kurai Sonzai now frustrated, the body had sustained much injury from his duo with the Sentōkis , and it could feel the body giving in.
"Humans and their weak bodies." The being sighed letting a large blast to create some space away from the attacking Sentōkis.
Dust and debris filled the air as a result of the blast making it heard to see, immediately the Kurai Sonzai teleported towards one of the Sentōki getting him off guard, easily holding down the Sentōki without help from the others, he transferred itself to his body.
The others knew the Kurai Sonzai was close to them, but with their vision still impaired they knew better than to swing their blades casually.
A large roar was heard, with the dust settling they could see their colleague now with a creepy smile.
"Ha..Ha..This body seems stronger than the one I had formally, we might not be staying any longer in this match. The being boasted.
Immediately the two Sentōki realising the figure before them was not their colleague anymore charged to towards him.
But the Kurai Sonzai now seemed faster, before they could get to him he was already at their back, with full force he punched the abdomen of one of the Sentōki, creating a huge hole there.
Before the other could react, The Kurai Sonzai was no longer in sight. Reintegrating by his side he managed to grab his hand squeezing it with full force, it completely broke disarming the last Sentōki from his katana, hitting him in the knee, he forced his legs to go down, now on his knees
"I hope we where able to create much time for you master." He whispered to himself
Looking up to Kurai Sonzai he shouted "You…You know the prophecy you will still be..."
The Kurai Sonzai immediately removed his head not letting him finish his statement, his expression now that of an angry one.
"I enjoy seeing you pissed off…. Akira." A calm voice was heard from behind.
Turning around to where the voice was coming from, an old looking man dressed fully in a Sentōkis armour with two Katana blades stuck to his back, stood with a calm expression.
