Chereads / A Disciples Fate / Chapter 44 - Springfall Island Recon

Chapter 44 - Springfall Island Recon

Sky, Sasaki, Hoshiko, Homura and Cherry are in a facility. In front of them is a submarine.

"So why are we going to an island on a submarine?"

They all look towards Sky.

"The Kashikoi sent a lot of warships and aircraft to the Island about 2 months ago. They all got destroyed by one attack."

"By one attack?!"

Cherry and Homura become intimidated.

"So we go there underwater to avoid that. Smart."

"Yes Sasaki. Now hop in. The helmsmen is waiting for us inside."

They all get onto the submarine. As they're swimming underwater, many fish swim past them. The Shorai are amazed by the fish as they look out the window.

Sasaki notices a large shadow coming to the window.

"Hey guys what's that?"

"That fish has a long head."

Sky pushes Cherry out of the way and looks at the window.

"Uh oh."

"What?"

"That's not a fish."

The animal gets closer and reveals itself. It's a hammer head shark.

"There's nothing we can do. It's gonna break the window?"

"Let it break it. You guys stand back."

The four Shorai stand back as Sky predates for the window to break. The shark headbutts the window and it instantly shatters.

Swiftly without letting any water come in, Sky uses his aura to replace the glass window with an air window.

"There we go. There's my air window."

Sasaki is confused.

"How does that even work?"

"I put my air there to repel the sea pressure making it so that no water comes in and we don't drown."

"Smart smart. But how strong do you have to be to fight of all of the seas pressure."

"Yeah that's kind of an amazing feat."

They all carry on with the journey peacefully to Springfall Island.

Two people on Springfall Island seem to be looking for something. A boy and a girl the same age as each other. They're both wearing some sort of technological bracelet.

The whole island looks destroyed. There's rubble everywhere.

"How does Yudai expect us to find this? It's just a ring too. What's so special about it?"

"I'm not sure."

They carry on for 5 minutes more.

"Okay I give u-"

"Shh! Do you sense that aura?"

"No- yeah I do. Who's coming?"

"It's coming from, the sea?"

Sky and the rest finally make it to the island. The submarine goes out of the water and onto land. They all jump out.

While looking around, Sasaki notices something.

"This island is all destroyed. What happened here?"

"Probably the number one Yugai's work. I doubt he's still here though."

They walk deeper to the island.

"So guys, we have to find something. It's a golden ring with some pattern on it."

Homura - "How are we supposed to find it under all this rubble?"

"Use your brains and we might find it quicker than you think."

Suddenly out of nowhere, a eerie aura is projected at all of them. They all jump back and look at the direction the aura is coming from.

Sasaki - "This is Shadow Disciple aura!"

Sky - "What's a Shadow Disciple doing here?"

The source of the aura gets closer and closer. The team becomes more cautious as the distance shortens.

Sky - "Get ready guys."

The person releasing the aura becomes clear to the team.

Cherry - "Yuuto?"

Hoshiko - "You know this guy?! He's a Shadow Disciple! He's a criminal!"

Cherry - "It's a long story."

Homura - "what are you doing here Yuuto?"

Yuuto - "I should be asking you the same thing. You guys need to leave. This isn't your territory."

Sky - "It isn't yours too."

Yuuto - "Well technically, it is. Now leave!"

Sasaki - "Or what?"

Yuuto smiles. He raises his aura.

Yuuto - "I guess we have to fight now. Sorry guys. I have no choice."

Sky - "I'll sit this one out. I think the four of you can handle this."

Yuuto runs towards the team. Homura goes up first. They both trade punches. Homura attacks him first but Yuuto dodges all of it. Yuuto knees his stomach causing Homura to lose balance. Yuuto uses the chance to punch him away and does so.

Cherry uses Forest Emerge to try stabilise Yuuto. It's successful. However, Yuuto raises his aura to destroy the branches. He dashes to Cherry and punches her in the stomach. That one hit makes her unable to fight.

Homura stands up.

"Fire Fist!"

Both his fists get covered by fire created from

his aura. His punches are more powerful and faster than before.

Yuuto - "That's not enough Homura. Shadow Fist!"

Yuuto does the exact same thing but with Shadow Aura. They both go to punch each other. Both the punches collide and it creates a Aura Clash.

A few seconds in, Yuuto effortlessly overpowers Homura and hits him with his strong aura. Homura is flying back and is unable to fight.

Both Sasaki and Hoshiko just stood there while their teammates were humiliated by the Shadow Disciple.

Sasaki - "You lost to Kuragami! How are you this strong?!"

Yuuto - "I've been training with some strong guys for quite some time now. I don't mean to brag but I'm now way stronger than all of you. Even Kuragami."

Sasaki - "We'll see about that!"

Sasaki starts running towards Yuuto with aura raises on his sword. Out of nowhere, a purple lightning strike is flying towards Sasaki at speeds even he can't react to.

Sky - "Sasaki watch out!"

Sasaki looks right and sees Sky dashing there. The lightning strike hits Sky. The purple lighting gets him on his knees and paralyses him. He now cannot move. Sasaki stops running.

Sasaki - "Sky are you okay?"

Sky - "Sasaki, Hoshiko! Take Cherry and Homura, go onto the submarine and run! This has turned serious!"

Hoshiko - "Why what's up?"

Sky - "There's only one person with purple lightning in this world. One of the most dangerous, if not, the most dangerous Disciple alive. If you stay here any longer you will die!"

Sasaki - "We can't go though! The window is broken remember?"

Sky - "Shit! What should I do? My aura is kinda low from fighting off the sea pressure. Think Sky, think!"

The person who shot the lightning attacks starts walking towards them. Yuuto looks at that direction.

Yuuto - "Didn't I tell you to stay back?"
