In an Instant, I collapsed, my body crashing to the ground.
"Damn it!" I yell. I can't move my body. I'm completely immobilized. I think for a moment, before arriving at a conclusion. I charge my hand with electricity, before slamming against my heart.
I feel a sharp convulse of my heart before my muscles jolt back to life. Can feel the electricity in my veins-
" Holy shit that's cringe," I say to myself. I stand up, looking around. About fifty yards away Enshi lies on the ground. I run over to him, bending down on my knees. I supercharge my hand once again and slam it into his heart. Enshi jumps up onto his feet, his eyes scanning the area, before landing on the dead body of Senpai. Upon seeing this, a wicked smile perks at his mouth. He turns to me. " Where's the green-haired guy?" That was a good question. I look around, straining my eyes to try to find any sign of Gin, but I couldn't.
I think back, and he did get thrown out of eyeshot. I bend down and sprout my wings, before launching into the air. I scan the area with a bird's eye view- and sure enough, in the distance, I see the figure of Gin flying in my direction.
As he gets closer and closer, his exposed face is on full display. He was a chiseled-looking man, with sharp yet soft features. I looked to my left, and Enshi had floated up on his skateboard.
Gin gestures towards the castle in the distance. " We better get moving." He says. " Oiran and Siken have probably taken out Bendle by now." I nod and look to Enshi. " Thanks for the assist man. We got a princess to kill."
Enshi holds his head as if he was hit by the most intense migraine ever.
" Holy hell that was cringe! I was gonna help you guys with whatever you were trying to do, but-"
Gin grabs his sleeve and makes the most kawaii anime girl face ever.
" Please. Please stay." Enshi laughs. " I'll help."
As we flew through the air in the direction of the castle, I spoke to Enshi. "So what was that power you had? Whatever you sang happened."
Enshi nods. " My twitch lets whatever I sing about happen- at the cost of my lifespan. The larger the command, the more life is taken."
Gin speaks. " How much did that fight take out of you?"
" Roughly five years."
I recoil. " And you fight constantly?"
" Yeah," Enshi says. " But let's talk about YOUR power. Was that a Discord?!" I ponder this for a moment. "I think so. Senpai said something like that- but I still have no idea what it is." Enshi seems surprised. " Okay, well- Discords are essentially advanced twitches. When you push your twitch to the max, it condenses and splits- enhancing your current ability, and giving you another one."
" Oh…" I think back to the fight with Zenmestu. "I had fought Zenmetsu to the brink of death, and THAT'S when it awoke so that much made sense. I had also gained the ability of future sight, so that adds to the theory as well. Both of these were insanely powerful, but I haven't been able to activate them at will yet"
Enshi nods, saying, "I've heard from an old textbook that when masters of twitches activate their Discords, they picture the hottest girl possible."
"Well…that's easy."
Enshi cocks his head to the side. " Kay-"
"Wait.." Gin squinted into the distance. A figure rose on the horizon…a canine figure. "...what the hell is that…?" I look slowly over to the two and cock my head to the side. " Do we…have to fight that?"
They both nod sadly at me. I sigh, and we burst forward.
As we came upon the gargantuan beast, its full figure came into view. It was a large, three-headed dog- made of stone. Its head snapped in our direction, its glass eyes fixed on us. It cocked its head back, before letting loose a roar of such strength, that it sent us tumbling through the air. I caught myself midair, before accelerating forward, my red sword materializing in my hand.
"Hottest girl…hottest girl…" I tried picturing Oiran…and I slashed my still-red sword into the dog- causing zero damage. " Dammit…" To my right, Gin dives in with a gray sword in hand. " Seven of Spades!!" His blade collides with the thick rock skin of the beast- and not even a dent is made. The dog's left head looks over at Gin, before throwing its head down, grabbing Gin in its jaws. Its fangs dug into the flesh of Gin. He yells. " ENSHI!!"
Enshi looks over and smirks, before striking a chord on his guitar. "Jaw-dropping surprise!!" Within a second, an invisible force seemed to jerk the dog's mouth open. The other heads look at each other, before leaning their heads back- and whipping them back down, each blasting a bright blue beam, one aimed at me, one aimed at Gin.
"Hottest girl…hottest girl…" I think of Senpai before forming my still f**king red sword in my hand, slashing and diverting my respective beam. A loud zap noise could be heard as Gin slices his beam in two, the halves spraying haphazardly around the city. I recede behind Enshi as Gin leads his onslaught. I had to have time to think…
My regular attacks wouldn't work, so I obviously needed my Discord- but the problem was, I couldn't activate it without a near-death experience yet. I think for a moment, before tapping Enshi on the shoulder.
He turns his head. " Yeah?"
"Enshi…I'm gonna need you to put the image of the most ludicrously sexualized anime girl imaginable in my head."
Enshi let out the most dragged-out sigh humanly possible, before staring at me with the most pitiful eyes.
" It's for the Discord bro."
" Sure." He says. " Sure."
Enshi strikes a chord on his guitar. " Images of hottest hentai in your mind!!" My insides seem to be shaken around violently as images of the most…actually, nothing can describe it. Let's just say that if you saw what I just did, you- you wouldn't be able to look at women the same way. Ever. Immediately after this sensation of humiliation, I feel something else. I feel the power that I have only ever felt twice before coursing through my veins. Black electricity begins to bounce and burst all around me, and black wings of calamity sprout from my back.
The dragging of Shinimaru's chains graded against the hard quartz floor as he walked. All around him were royal guards, completely covered in obsidian armor to defend against his flames. In front of him was his older sister, who currently had the most evilly joyful smile on her face.
" Princess!!!" Shinimaru's head turned immediately towards the source of the noise. This call had come from across the hall, shouted by a rather short man in messenger garb. He was running at full speed toward Frivia. As the space between them narrowed, he stopped to a halt. He was panting and heaving; it looked as if he had been running for a while.
Frivia snarled. " What the hell are you doing?!" The man flinched backward so hard that he fell. As he regained his posture, he cleared his throat. " Word from Senpai's messenger states that she has been defeated. Nobody knows so far who did it, but-"
Snap.
As Frivia snapped her fingers, the man began to froth at the mouth, his eyes rolling back into his skull...before dropping to the ground, dead. Frivia grimaced before turning to the now smiling Shinimaru. " You...was this the doing of your so-called friends?"
"No idea-"
BOOM!!
An entire half of the hallway exploded, exposing the outside city. Flying through the opening on what seemed to be a hovercraft of socks, was a woman with light brown skin and white hair, and a middle-aged man with a black suit and a katana. The woman yelled.
" SHINIMARU!!"
Frivia looked around frantically.
She screamed for the guards." Seize them..." As she turned to look at the guards, they were writhing on the floor, surrounded by green smoke. As Frivia inhaled this smoke, it burned her lungs. It was poisonous. Frivia turned back to the two people, and there were no longer just two. Standing beside the two- was Shinimaru, standing there with half-melted chains.
Shinimaru ignited his fists in green flame. "Looks like you should pay more attention...sister."
Frivia ground her teeth in anger, before combining her hands into the rin hand sign.
"Control!"
Within seconds, the ground in front of her started to rumble, before beginning to shift and form below the feet of the intruders. Frivia outstretched her hand in the inu symbol.
The man didn't take too kindly to this and lunged forward with his katana in hand.
" Restrict!"
Frivia outstretched her hand in the inu symbol. They continued to rumble, before it formed into stone, vines. The woman jumped onto her hoverboard. " Get on!!" However, the others weren't as fast as she, and they were grabbed by the vines. Frivia stared into the eyes of these people before she began to laugh-
SKREEE
The sound of electricity echoed through the city. Frivia knew not of where this song came from, but it was apparent that this was a threat. Frivia bent down onto one knee, before shifting into the Tora symbol.
" Control: Three-Headed Dog."
