Chereads / A Disciples Fate / Chapter 9 - Shadows Outburst

Chapter 9 - Shadows Outburst

"Hurricane Palm!"

A hurricane starts to generate at the palm of Sky's hand.

"Your done for Raffles."

"Is that so? What about if I do this?"

Raffles takes something out his pocket. It's a remote with one big red button. He presses it. A carriage train starts to go away from the Circus. Everyone can hear the screams of people inside the carriages.

"Dammit."

"That's not all. Some of my soldiers are going to that pathetic town to destroy it and kill all the people there. Including that Shadow Disciple kid."

Sky grinds his teeth. The hurricane is still generating in his hand. He lifts his arm up and releases the hurricane causing the whole Circus destroyed and most of Raffles men down.

"Damm you. You think you can beat me? You haven't seen half of my strength!"

Raffles flies towards Sky and goes for a punch. Sky blocks and punches back. They both go on to give each other consecutive attacks. They seem to be fighting evenly.

Kuragami notices the train. He runs to the cliff and jumps off.

"Kuragami what the hell are you doing?"

"I have to save everyone here! Don't worry I'll be back. Tell the others to save Furendori!"

"This idiot. Fine! Make sure to come back!

"Okay!"

The train starts gaining more speed.

"Hey you three. Go back to the town. It's in danger. And make it seem like you don't know Solomon is a traitor."

"No, Yua."

Sasaki, Cherry and Homura start running to the town and a bunch of Raffles soldiers chase after them.

"Hurricane Palm."

Sky uses his air move to stop all the soldiers for coming after the three Shorai.

Kuragami tries to stand up on the operating train. He nearly falls but keeps balance.

"Wait I could just do this."

He freezes his feet onto the train so he sticks on.

"Alright now I need to find a way to stop this train."

Sky and Raffles fight is affecting the weather of the place around them. The waves of the sea starts to crash in on the cliff.

Raffles gives off a cheeky smirk.

Sasaki, Homura and Cherry are running to the town.

"What the hell is this!"

They are all shocked at what they're seeing. A countless amount of Raffles Soldiers are dead on the floor. A eerie aura can be sensed lingering around the dead bodies. Sasaki decides to take charge of the other two.

"Guys we need to hurry and see if the town is in danger. Sooner or later we are gonna have to fight who killed all these people."

"Yeah. But look at Cherry."

Sasaki takes a look at Cherry. She looks traumatised. Sasaki walks up to her and gives her a intimidating look.

"Hey. Stop being so useless. Let's go."

The trauma filled look her face gets replaced with hatred. Sasaki can tell she's angry at what he said but pays not attention. All three of them go to the Town. Everyone is crossing Yua on her knees crying.

The team runs up to Yua.

"Yua what's wrong."

"Yuu-. Go to the train. You can intercept west from here. Help Kuragami."

"What are you talking about. And wait, how do you know that Kurag-"

"Just go!"

As their about to run, they here the shouts and chants of Raffles Soldiers nearby. From where they came from, they see hundreds of soldiers coming.

"This can't be happening."

"What should we do?"

"Homura, Cherry. We have to trust in Kuragami. We need to stay here and protect everyone."

"Okay. If that's what we have to do."

"Then we will do it."

The three of them get prepared to take on a wave of Raffles soldiers.

Kuragami is still on the train. He hears people under him moaning.

"Don't worry guys, I'll save you."

"Help us. Please.

"We don't want to go there."

"I wanna go back to my mum."

"Please, stop the train."

"Don't worry guys, I'll stop the train."

Kuragami crouches and puts his right hand on the floor.

"Freeze."

The wheels on the train start to get covered with ice. Cold air starts coming up and the people in the carriage start to get chilly.

The train starts to slow down.

"There we go."

Kuragami thaws out the ice from his feet. He can now move freely.

"Who is that?"

There's a person standing on the train tracks, distant from the train.

"Hey you, move out of the way! You'll get killed!"

A large scale of a dark eerie aura releases from the person. It covers the whole area around making everything look dark.

"What is this insane aura. Wait. It's him."

The person points his hand towards the train.

"Shadow Devestation."

A large shadow attack is being aimed at the train. There's no way for the train to avoid it.

"They sound injured. If that hits the train directly, they'll die. I need to take that attack head on. Ice Wall!"

As the train is about to hit the shadow attack, Kuragami creates a ice wall.

"Wait, that was a bad idea. No!"

The train breaks through the Ice Wall and gets destroyed. The front of the train is heavily destroyed. Smoke starts to come out of it.

"Dammit. No!"

The shadow attack is right in front of the train.

"I won't let you hurt these people anymore!"

Kuragami jumps in front of the train and covers himself with his glacial aura. He tries to block the attack.

The shadow attack directly hits Kuragami, causing him to go back and slam his back on the moving train. The train explodes causing smoke to erupt in the air around. The train is now stationary with flames everywhere. Kuragami is on the floor with scratches and bruises covering his whole body. His clothes are ripped.

"Look, Sasaki, Homura. That explosion. That's where Yua said Kura was."

"Dammit. Kuragami, don't die out there."

Everyone can see the explosion from the town.

Sasaki, Cherry and Homura are fighting off hundreds of Raffles Soldiers. They are doing well so far but they can't resist forever.

"Cherry watch out behind you!"

One of the soldiers sneak up in Cherry with a sword and swings it at her. She turns around with no time to react.

"Die girl!"

But unexpectedly, Scorpion comes out of nowhere and poisons the soldier. The poison makes it so that he is unable to move. Scorpion then beheads him with his tail.

"Yo."

Cherry is so confused. Why did the enemy save her life?

"Scorpion?"

"Don't worry girl. I'm on your side. Your captain Sky told me some things and well, I'm willing to help you guys take down Raffles. After all, he's a evil guy."

"Then why the hell did you go work for him? It doesn't make sense."

"Because if I didn't look out for my brothers, they would be dead. But they went down the wrong path. That made me care less about them. So I'm not worried about Bear and Rhinos death at all."

"That's a relief. Because I would've had to kill you too."

"Anyways, now that I'm here, we can stop these guys easily. But I feel weird. As if I'll fade away any second."

The four of them now continue to defend the town.

The person walks up to Kuragami on the floor. It appears to be Drago.

"Kuragami. I've gone too far not to kill you know. I must complete my role as a Shadow Disciple. I never knew we would cross paths so early."

Kuragami is heavily injured but can still speak and move around. He crawls towards him.

"What the hell are you talking about? Wait. I swear Drago! If everyone is dead!"

"What will you do exactly. And yes. They're all dead. I can tell you never killed someone before. Once you take someone's life away from them, you can feel their aura withering away. Your the only survivor!"

Rage starts towering in Kuragami. He can't believe that he could easily kill that many innocent people and feel nothing.

"How could you? All those innocent people with no choice but to fall to Raffles are now dead!"

He starts to grind his teeth till his mouth starts bleeding. The blood then turns into cold air and evaporates. He struggles to get up on his feet but is able to do so. They are now both face to face.

"Those pure eyes of yours now filled with hatred towards me. I can tell you have a darkness inside you. Darkness that will be released sooner or later. But you won't be able to do nothing with that hatred. Since I'll kill you right here right now."

Kuragami starts to raise is aura drastically. He has his eyes covered. Drago tries to stop him and goes for a punch. Kuragami dodges it without looking and gives Drago a kick to the gut. The contact forms ice on Dragos chest. Kuragami then vanishes then appears above of him and kicks his head leading Drago to fall and destroy the ground below him.

Drago stands up and Kuragami starts giving him consecutive attacks, the same thing he did to Bear. Drago can't keep up and keeps getting hit. Kuragami then stops.

"All that talk about killing me. Where is it? You can barely touch me."

"Shut up Kuragami. I need to kill you. Or I'm done."

"What are you talking about? What responsibilities do you hold? Your about the same age as me. You shouldn't be killing this many people."

Tears start to drip down Drago's eyes without him knowing. His face still shows pure anger.

"I have to. To protect my family, my town. Everyone I love needs to be protected!"

Kuragami starts to smile.

"I never knew you would be such a softie Yuuto."

"What did you call me?"

"So your doing all of this to protect your grandpa and your sister Yuta."

More tears start to form in the Shadows Disciple eye. The boy who's name is Yuuto.
