2: unusual mission
Pre ark: prologue
————————————————————
It's been a couple days since mazoku's team first visited their training ground mazoku continued to work on his control of the phoenix ad his dragon eyes the conversation at the dragon temple has been stuck on mazoku's mind lately he doesn't know what he should do
Flashback
Mazoku- "So what you wanted to talk about cuz?"
Tatsumi- "mazoku i understand that godbanda is your best friend but soon me and the younger members are going to attack the city and if your friend gets in the way he's dying."
Mazoku- "and you're attacking the city because?"
Tatsumi- "this is our city mazoku the odda clan is trying to shut us out of our rightful place in this city everyone knows your great grandfather was the first leader…but what do they teach us in school that ODDA TORI WAS THE FIRST LEADER you might stand for that but I'm not."
Mazoku- "yeah but my great grandfather wouldn't want this. You remember what happened last time we went to war. We lost some of the most powerful members in clan history."
Tatsumi- "they took my Mother away from me because they were scared of the possibility of dragon clan dna mixing with Honō dna…your father could've ended the war before it started look where we are now and your ok with this your father should be leader right now but he would rather be in the shadows like a bitch."
Mazoku punches tatsumi he holds his face and smirks
Tatsumi- locks eyes with mazoku "cousin I don't think you want to fight you no where near my level."
Tatsumi activates his dragon eye he uses his spirit animal and smacks mazoku away mazoku finally activates his dragon eye he looks at tatsumi then a black beam shoots towards tatsumi who just barely dodges this only made him more mad as he charges mazoku who is still trying to get up fully tatsumi kicks him back down mazoku jumps up then pulls out his sword he points it at tatsumi
Mazoku- locks eyes with tatsumi "we're family why are we fighting? Because of something that was out of our control, something that happened before we were born"
Tatsumi- "I don't want to talk cousin there isn't anything to talk about at this moment."
Tatsumi charges a attack mazoku throws his sword at tatsumi who dodges but instead of the sword hitting the ground mazoku is replaced with it ad swings at tatsumi who blocks the attack but he drags back a little he laughs then slowly drops his hands his dragon eye in the 2nd stage mazoku just stands there ready for the attack tatsumi shoots a gold beam at mazoku who dodges but tatsumi speed biltz mazoku and punches him to the ground his head bounces off the ground tatsumi then builds up essence and forms a golden sword in his hand he tries to shove it in mazoku's head but he rolls to the side then kicks tatsumi in the back he then swiftly throws a fireball at tatsumi who just smacks it away
Tatsumi- smiles "my eyes are more advanced than yours, you can't win mazoku, my eyes are just going to overpower yours."
Mazoku face goes blank he stands up blank face flames slowly coming off his body a pair of flame wings appear on mazoku's back he holds out his hand his sword fly towards him he charges tatsumi swiftly parries the attack then shoots a laser in the back of mazoku's leg he drops down but the flame covers the wound then as the flames slowly disappear the wound is healed tatsumi eyes widen
Tatsumi- 'so this is the power of the phoenix…cousin cousin cousin the power you have is more than enough to take back the city…but what can I do to get him to join…Aw i just might know what will do it.'
Tatsumi is forced out of his thoughts as mazoku starts attacking him again he grabs the sword then beams mazoku in the arm then leg
Tatsumi- "mazoku…cousin I want you to join us in this war the dragon clan will have its rightful place in the city and we need your help"
Mazoku- looks at tatsumi "I already told u I'm not joining you."
Tatsumi- looks down then smile ad locks eyes with mazoku "see cousin…you don't have a choice now I had one of da dragon clan members under me put a essence bomb on kireina with just one call ad her head will be blown off do you really want that for her mazoku?"
Mazoku tilts his head flames just shoot out of his body you can see the phoenix forming above his head he points at tatsumi the phoenix shoots towards tatsumi who puts up his hand the firebird stops
Tatsumi- laughs "I don't think you understand little cousin, anything happens to me she dies just give it up."
Mazoku- calms down "alright…what are we doing?"
End of flashback…
Mazoku- opens phone 'I don't know what to do he wants me to sneak inside of the house of knowledge and steal the floor plans for 3 odda clan camps'
Hottokiru- waves hand in front of mazoku's face "earth to mazoku…what are you even thinking about?"
Mazoku- "nothing hottokiru"
Hottokiru- "well we have a meeting with johan in an hour godbanda is on his way over here."
Mazoku- "Aw yeah I forgot we have a meeting"
Hottokiru- moves closer to mazoku " I know you and tatsumi had a little talk he told me."
Mazoku- eyes widen "so you know about the mission tonight"
Hottokiru- "of course I'm apart of the dragon clan and the new 12"
Mazoku- "the new 12?"
Hottokiru- shakes head "how are you so outta the loop in your own clan Xavier made the new 12 and your the leader"
Mazoku- "what, why i'm the leader shouldn't it be someone who has experience."
Hottokiru- shakes head again "so tatsumi beat your ass so bad you lost confidence"
Mazoku- dragon eyes activate "never"
Hottokiru- laughs "I triggered your dragon eye what even happened he must've beaten you bad or…threatened kireina."
Mazoku quickly gets up he grabs hottokiru by his neck & lifts him up he looks down on mazoku smiling
Mazoku- "don't..mention her..name AGAIN!"
Hottokiru smirks as blue flames start to clover his hand he touches mazoku's shoulder but his flame didn't do anything as mazoku smirks a hand made of flames start to slowly form behind him before the hand can get close to hottokiru kicks mazoku in his side then jumps away & pulls out his sword mazoku drops to his knees hottokiru
carefully walks towards mazoku
Hottokiru- taps mazoku with the tip of the sword "mazoku…you good?"
Mazoku- "yeah…I'm fine"
Mazoku gets up he grabs his phone
Mazoku- "hottokiru tatsumi needs us"
Hottokiru- "nah he can wait"
Mazoku puts his phone back in his pocket 4 minutes later godbanda pulls up
Godbanda- "my dad canceled on us he had city work to do that's why I came a little late but I'll see you guys tomorrow at school?"
Hottokiru- "yeah" glances over at mazoku then punches his shoulder
Mazoku- "yeah see you at school."
Godbanda- 'there's something on mazoku's mind, maybe I should ask kireina about it.'
Mazoku & hottokiru walks to the dragon temple as soon as they enter a man with all black on & a mask with 3 on it stops them
Man- "do you have your black card?"
Mazoku- "I'm not going to keep doing this with you next time you stop me I'm ripping your throat."
The two walk in there are multiple people with all black on & a mask but they all have different numbers
Tatsumi- "QUIET…today we will have our first mission of course not all of you are needed but I'm glad you came we are going to infiltrate the house of knowledge & take 3 of the floor plans to the odda clans most important camps on this mission I will have mazoku, hottokiru & ishimoto."
Kid- "come on they barely been on the team & they already get to go on a mission"
Tatsumi- "since u want to go on the mission so bad Kaku is also coming now get ready"
Mazoku puts on the outfit but instead of a shirt he has a hoodie with a mask he walks out the room ishimoto is leaning on the wall in front of him ishimoto locks eyes with mazoku then they both are suddenly at a table
Mazoku- "we're in your realm?"
Ishimoto- "yes we are I just wanted to give you a heads up I'm here because of your dad he knew about tatsumi little plan & he wanted me to infiltrate it but since you're here too it's going to make it easier…why are you here anyway I wouldn't think you would want to destroy the odda clan."
Mazoku- "I'm here because he put an essence bomb on kireina's neck I wanted to hurt him right there but…s-she would've died." Slowly puts his head down
Ishimoto- puts his hand on mazoku's shoulder "it's okay don't believe everything tatsumi says just talk to kireina & check to see if there's a different essence pattern on her neck"
Mazoku- "let's get this mission over with."
They meet up with the rest of the crew tatsumi looks at Kaku then nods he runs off
Hottokiru- looks at mazoku then tatsumi "where is he going?"
Tatsumi- "just in case we have to fight he is going to blow up the whole building."
Ishimoto- "tatsumi are you crazy, we can't just blow up the house of knowledge our clan history is in here too."
Tatsumi- "yeah right we have our real history in our own library…now stop interrupting me before I kill you."
Ishimoto stands up and activates his 3 star dragon eye he looks at tatsumi then he falls asleep
Ishimoto- "it should be easier to hide him, we're going by ourselves."
The three sneak in the house there are no guards until they get into the basement
Mazoku- whispers "there's guards everywhere."
Hottokiru- "no shit you think we should just knock all of em out."
Ishimoto- "it's okay I'll just use my spirit animal to knock them out."
Mazoku- "but won't the others in the building sense your spirit energy?"
Ishimoto- "I can mask my spirit energy without a track of energy being detected."
Mazoku- looks at his hands 'he's that advanced with his spirit energy…I still have training to do."
Ishimoto uses his spirit energy and knocks out all the guards mazoku hurry ups and goes to the odda clan section of the basement he scans the books then he sees the ones they need he grabs them but before he can move a spear flies by his ear making it bleed a little he turns & sees godbanda standing there with another earth spear in his hand he throws it at mazoku who dodges he charges but ishimoto stops him
Ishimoto- "I got this one"
Ishimoto gets in his stance 3 star dragon eye activated owl spirit animal above him godbanda touches the ground then charges ishimoto who swiftly dodges his attacks then a earth spike flies out of the ground ishimoto turns his hand into blade & slices it in Half godbanda throws a roundhouse kick that ishimoto block then cuts godbanda leg a little he jumps back then out of nowhere a water spark flies towards ishimoto who uses his owl wings to shield him
Mazoku- looks around 'we have to go immediately. I can't use any of my attacks because godbanda will recognize them so can't hottokiru.'
Ishimoto kicks godbanda to the ground then a man walks out of the shadows
Man- shakes head "you let his dragon clan low life defeat you the next in line in the odda clan…pitiful"
Godbanda- "go fuck yourselve Kaito."
Kaito laughs he points his finger at mazoku 5 sharks goes towards him ishimoto use his spirit animal & grabs both hottokiru & mazoku then he charges up a fireball & throws it at godbanda but Kaito creates a water shield around godbanda
Godbanda- "I didn't need your help I could've blocked it myself cousin."
Kaito- "just stay out of this one he's more advanced than I thought."
Ishimoto starts doing hand movements a gray aura starts to form around him he pulls his arm back then punches the air towards godbanda who was confused Kaito pushes godbanda out of the way he gets sent flying godbanda looks at his cousin then turns to ishimoto who disappeared ishimoto grabs tatsumi who was still knocked out they all go back to the dragon temple
Hours later….
Godbanda- "dad what was that attack I couldn't even see or sense it?"
Johan- "…must've been a spiritual airwave son you need more training on your spiritual presence if you can't defend yourself from light attacks you will never make it."
Godbanda- eyes widen 'light that broke Kaito's ribs & his arm. How is that a light attack?' Looks up at his dad "if that's a light attack then what would a strong one look like?"
Johan- laughs " I've been alive for over 30 years I fought anything from essence beasts to SS ranked demons that attack wasn't anything." Pats godbanda's shoulder "it's ok you're going to be stronger than ever before after I'm done training you."
Godbanda walks to his room he goes into his pocket & pulls out a book called "odda clan conspiracy"
