She looks up with a blank face & pulls out a different mask this one was a mask with a demon face once she puts it on a burst of energy comes off of her she looks at mazoku lightning start to come off her body one second she's there Mazoku blinks & she's right in front of him he ducks under a swing but gets tripped hottokiru tries to go to him but gets stopped by Jace "no no no you're not going anywhere I want to see how strong those flames are." Hottokiru smirks he activates his 2nd star dragon eye flames start coming off his body he points his sword at Jace "ready to go down" Jace smirks he dashes towards hottokiru & grabs him by the neck so he thought it was a flame clone
Mazoku- 'she got faster out of nowhere…maybe it's that mask.'
Unknown- "you have tengu clan blood too."
Mazoku flips up he locks eyes with Karasu he can tell she's not herself he looks at hottokiru who is holding his own ' I'm not being left behind I'm the leader of black hand' he starts doing murda ( power—> healing—> harmony) essence start shooting off him he holds his hand out a sword appears out of thin air he charges karasu & does a horizontal swing she block then jumps back shooting a dark fireball Mazoku swiftly dodges to the right she appears there he block then throws the sword at jace who dodges it hottokiru uses this opportunity he starts doing murda ( power—> creation) then shoots a large fireball at jace who got hit full force Mazoku dodges another attack Karasu speeds up she slice him in the arm then his side he lets out a scream he starts hold his side flames start appearing on his wounds he looks at Karasu who has no expression on her face not like you can see it she charges Mazoku & throws a precise punch at Mazoku's heart he parry's the attack then throws a jab at her jaw he steps to the side then tries to jump kick her but she blocks using lightning then point to the sky a lightning bolt strikes by where Mazoku was but he moves out the way just in time Jace sees this while dodging another attack from Hottokiru this he grits his teeth ' she's playing around with him' Hottokiru swings again have Jace grabs his arm reinforces his head with red matter & breaks it Hottokiru screams mazoku looks in that direction Karasu stabs him inches away from the heart
Jace- "enough playing around you two will be useful & thanks for just walking in the key to hell."
Karasu- looks at mazoku and the mask drops 'w-what have I done.' Turns to Jace "YOU MADE ME DO THIS DIDN'T YOU."
Jace- "stop the crying he's not dead you hit him inches away from his heart he'll live."
Karasu- cry's " That's not the point you could've done all of this yourself, why involve innocent clan members?"
Jace gets mad he walks up to Karasu & punches her in the face Mazoku sees this he starts getting upset he says in a low tone "why" Jace looks at him "What did you say?" Mazoku locks eyes with Jace "WHY!" His 2nd star dragon eye activates he gets up flames healing him Jace can't help but smile 'yes the power of the phoenix your every lucky Xavier's protégé son' Mazoku appears in front of Jace he pulls his fist back & punches Jace sending him flying & breaking his throne he gets up mad he hold his hand out a red matter guard crawls from the ground mazoku smirks as the guard charges towards him punches then the guard dodges he jumps back then walks to the guard but it's not mazoku it's his after image he then charges the guard he swings then teleports the other side then again then again creating after images he then teleports behind the guards who is trying to dodge the after images he slice its head off he look at Karasu then looks at Hottokiru 'sorry karasu but I have to go' he grabs Hottokiru then teleports to the dragon temple
~~~ odda city ~~~
Johan- looks at the paper "so you let them get away after they destroyed one of our oldest shops?"
Ajin- "we don't know if they were dragon clan members they could've been goons."
Johan- "Ajin you are a top clan member and had the top 3 highest score on the team program test. Do you really think some goons have the firepower to blow up a whole store & leave NO TRACE do you?"
Ajin- "sir we can't just put this on the dragon clan."
Johan- "We destroyed their store, they destroyed ours but I can't go for this. I have a city to run a reputation to uphold. I want you to send them a message…& a good one."
Ajin- bows "yes sir." Walks away
~~~ dragon temple ~~~
Mazoku- puts hottokiru down "damn he break your arm"
Hottokiru- grits his teeth "No shit call Xavier."
Xavier- "no need I felt your presence what happened?" Gets on one knee & starts doing murda ( healing—> energy—> creation) "does it feel better?"
Hottokiru- flexes his once broken arm "you healed it completely…how?"
Xavier- points to his dragon eye "I have the all seeing eye now tell me what happened why is your arm broken & what caused you to unlock your 2nd star?"
Mazoku- looks at hand "we went to ghost town we wanted to check out the tengu clan hideout."
Xavier- eyes widen 'senshi's clan…does he know?'
Mazoku- notices his dads face "3 'randoms' lead us to their hideout there was a man named Jace he was powerful I was fighting his sister Karasu at first I hold my own but then she put on this mask & she was 4x faster she almost stabbed me in the heart that unlocked my 2nd star then I teleported us here."
Xavier- "ok that explains how you unlocked your 2nd star but what about his arm."
Hottokiru- "I was fighting Jace. I thought I was doing good until he went serious. He grabbed my fist mid punch & Broke my arm." squeeze fists 'I sound so weak…the next time we meet I promise it won't be the same
Xavier- rubs chin "ok ok…since it seems like you two already started investigating the tengu clan we might as well have the rest of the black hand with you & make it a mission."
Hottokiru- "black hand? You mean the new 12"
Xavier- smiles "yes this is the new 12 but keep it on the low I don't want the odda clan thinking we're trying to make the first move mazoku you are the leader of this new 12 so whenever you're ready they're ready."
Mazoku- bows "okay I just need some time to recover & I also want to practice using my 2nd star."
Xavier- "my little brother is one of the greatest dragon eye users this clan has ever seen, he'll teach you how to master your dragon eye & max out its potential you can find my little brother in the dragon realm."
~~~ outside of the dragon clans wall ~~~
Ajin- breathes in "it's a shame we don't have any evidence to prove it was you but I'm going to enjoy this." Smiles
Ajin holds his hand up in the sky a green aura starts coming from his hand you can see a huge earth ball being built in the sky it slowly grows larger & larger until it's the size of half the dragon clan resident as Ajin was going to strike but a green bomb smacks the baby meteor seconds after a red dragon flies through & eat the debris Ajin turns around he sees Itsuki standing across from him
Itsuki- looks at Ajin "where's the one with the bat."
Ajin- looks at Itsuki ready for a move "he's on a mission."
Itsuki- cracks neck "so I'm going to have to found him that's ok it's better that way…you know you fucked up right."
Before Ajin could say anything he had to dodge a dangerous attack from Kaku who came outta nowhere Ajin summons two earth guards they charge Itsuki & Kaku Ajin looks around for more dragon clan members he looks back forward to see a fist in his face he gets sent flying across the border he gets up & sees Itsuki & Kaku is done with the earth guards he smirks
Ajin- "next time we meet a dragon will fall."
Itsuki- shows his teeth "you lost here today to dragon clan blood now I want you to go back home & think about that."
Kaku- laughs "don't start a war you won't be able to finish."
Ajin- smirks "this is only the beginning dragon only the beginning." *disappears*
Itsuki- "call Xavier I think it's time."
~~~ johan's office ~~~
Johan- punches wall "so you failed is what you're saying?"
Ajin- "no I was stopped 3 dragon clan members prevented me from finishing my mission."
Johan- "ok Ajin so you were stopped by who actually it couldn't be Xavier because you wouldn't be standing here so who stopped you."
Ajin- "I don't know."
Johan- "so some unknown dragon clan members just came outta nowhere & stopped you…dismissed."
~~ with mazoku ~~
Mazoku- "where is he?"
Unknown- "why are you in my section this is closed off for family only."
Mazoku- "I'm looking for kori."
Unknown- "wait Xavier…no you gotta be his youngest what's your name again."
Mazoku- raises eyebrow "mazoku."
Unknown- "aww my little nephew how you've been doing."
Mazoku- "Okay could be better…but my father told me to come to you if I want to master my eyes."
Kori- "aw so my big brother sent his son to get trained by me…are you ready?"
Mazoku- "for what?"
Kori shots a bream at mazoku who dodges he ducks under a swing then hops & swing this right leg at Kori who blocks mazoku clovers his hand in fire he charges Kori who gets into his fighting stance mazoku dodges a beam that came from nowhere then gets sent flying from a punch by Kori he gets up sliding a little he throws a fireball at Kori that split in half & hit Kori in the leg
Kori- laughs "just like Xavier…" points at Mazoku's burned hand "is that from the phoenix flame?"
Mazoku- "Yeah ever since I unlocked my 2nd star every time I call on the phoenix flame it burns my body."
Kori- "That's a problem, your spirit animal shouldn't harm you…let's go on a mission."
Mazoku- "A mission? I just came back from a mission"
Kori- "it's a perfect way to learn how to control your dragon eye real life combat."
Kori & Mazoku are outside a tengu clan camp
Kori- "I can feel the demonic energy we must be close to the gate."
Mazoku- eyes widen looks around "so jace must be here."
Kori- puts hand on mazoku's shoulder "he's not here I would've felt his presence they must not know exactly where the gate is…if you distract them I can locate & seal off the gate."
Mazoku- "that's not a problem but how are we going to find it before them?"
Kori- points to eyes "with these I'll mark your dragon eye with the location of the gate then move them away from the location."
~~~ Dragon Temple ~~~
Itsuki- looks down at the watch on his left wrist "sooo where is he again."
Kaku- "on a mission with Xavier's little brother."
Isamu- cracks neck "so another mission without our leader it's okay we got Itsuki."
Itsuki- raises eyebrow then shows his fangs "aw yeah that's why he made me the leader for this mission we are going deep into tengu territory we are taking a piece of the main gate & a tengu mask."
Kaku- "a tengu mask is he out of his mind?"
Tatsumi- "it's for mazoku I guess he wants him to tap into his tengu blood."
Isamu- "so we're fighting his people?"
Itsuki- pushes Isamu's chest "don't forget we're his people too & he's our leader so his word goes."
Behind a building you can see 4 black figures with hand shaped masks a tengu clan guard walks by seconds later he gets sucked into the darkness
Hand 1- "did you have to drain the man."
Hand 3- "I need the power we might be fighting a demon."
Hand 4- "so you felt that too? Thought I was the only one."
Hand 2- "wait so if demons are here that's mean the gate had to be open"
Hand 3- " it's not a strong demon…well I can't sense it's strength but with the 4 of us we should be fine."
Hand 1- *chuckles* "fine is an understatement if it's not jace we're not losing."
The black hand travels further thru the tengu clan camp staying in the shadows hand 2 was about to move forward but hand 1 stops him then points to the watchtower
Hand 2- "can we just charge in? Jace obviously isn't here.
Hand 4- activates dragon eyes then kneels down & touches the ground "he's right Jace isn't here but we shouldn't charge in I can feel 2 people in that watchtower who are on the same level as Ajin."
Hand 1- smirks "you know what-"
~~~ With Mazoku & Kori ~~~
Kori- "you got that."
Mazoku- nods
Mazoku throws a tiny fireball on the ground one of the guards turns around Mazoku slowly walks out the shadows the guard in the back tries to put on the mask but Mazoku teleports behind him then kicks him in the back another guard charges Mazoku who swiftly dodges the attack then punches the guard in the side another 10 guards run out of a building Mazoku tilts his head to the left phoenix flames start to aggressively come out of mazoku's body 2 guards with masks charge Mazoku first a set of flame arms protrude out of mazoku's back & grab the guard as soon as the hand grabs the guard he gets set on fire the other guard pours lightning essence into his sword & charges Mazoku who throws the dead guard at him the guard cuts clean through his comrade then charges mazoku who was in shock & stabs in the side then kick him damn
Guard 1- points the tip of the sword at mazoku's head "after this I will take Karasu's place as 2nd in command."
Guard 2- "not if I return with the key first."
Guard 2 throws a pitch black fireball at guard 1 who slices it in half seconds later a large explosion can be see by where the gate was guard 1 runs towards the explosion while guard 2 grabs mazoku he tries to run away but suddenly falls he looks at his leg then looks up at kori who punches him in the face
~~~ With The Black Hand ~~~
Hand 3 gildes on top of watchtower he drops down & kicks guard 1 a masked guard charges Itsuki who just ducks then uppercuts the masked guard he swiftly bites into his neck as he retracts his fangs he falls to his knees then laughs hand 1 approaches him
Hand 1- "now why would you try that knowing when that mask is on their basically mini demons."
Itsuki- laughs then looks up with dragon eyes activated "I just wanted to test something hand 3."
Itsuki flexes his hand he walks to the masked guard he knocked out & pulls the mask off they both walk down the stairs but gets stopped by a band of guard hand 3 taps Itsuki & points down they both duck as a massive nuclear ball gets sent at the band of guards the nuclear ball also destroys the stairs
Hand 2- rubs back of his head "my bad"
Hand 1- looks around "I can sense the gate, it's in the basement of this watch tower."
Hand 3- "I'm guessing that's where the rest of the guards are."
The black hand drops down the hole created by hand 2 they look around dead bodies on the ground in the corner of the darkness Mazoku & Kori walks out with the gate piece
Hand 1- "I see you decided to join us, leader." *bows*
Mazoku- "you don't have to bow, we're equal & our mission wasn't too far so we decided to help."
Hand 3- "well we got your mask." Tosses mask to mazoku
Mazoku- catches the mask "Thanks before we leave, let's send them a message."
