Chapter 37 - Part II : Turning Point

- - - - - - - - - - Dawn of the battle between warriors started once again after thousands of years.

twisted, evil, or for the better, each have their own reason. A 16 year old girl stood up against six individuals.

"I sense a killing intention from you, Asahi." Sagara said.

Asahi walked beside Takaya, still with her predatory look towards Sagara,

"With all of you circling me like this… You think you all can win against me?" Sagara said,

"We do not want a fight, we want peace. But you started the fight between us by taking innocence," Takaya drew his sword toward Sagara, "With that in mind, if it's necessary then we will fight back for them."

Laughing, Sagara displays a twisted personality. The air surrounding them densing all of the sudden makes it hard to breathe.

"Sagiri, get rid of the rest. leave The prince."

A big dark circle opened Below Asahi, Ai, Azusa, Fukushima and Saega. slowly swallowed them inside,

"A portal?!" Takaya immediately run toward Asahi and pull her out, but it is too late to help the others.

"Sagara! You don't have to do this!"

AI, Fukushima was completely swallowed inside. Saega jumps out from the hole, launching herself over Sagara again.

"You are strong," Sagara quickly grabs Saega's hand, holding her in the air. Sagara summons her Black Snake Staff and slowly placing it on Saega's chest, "But your power will be more useful for me rather than you body!"

The staff pulls and dark energy from inside Saega, violently hurting her like her inside is pulled out from her body. Her mouth let out scream, her eyes flooded with blood, and her astral armor began to shatter. The hole getting stronger to suck Asahi, Takaya and Asahi only can watch while trying to avoid them self to be sucked in the hole,

Her body falls to the ground, enervates, twitches, her blue eyes fades away looking at Sagara's feet, and she closes her eyes, losing her consciousness. The hole starts to close, leaving only Takaya and Asahi. All of the sudden a water splashed into the skies and coming down as rain,

"Aquarea… You are…" Sagara looked at the water and noticed that it was Azusa's doing.

Rain damp Saega, it creates a water dome and moves her from Sagara. The dome resting Saega beside the wall and coming back again in front of Takaya and Asahi, and transforms itself and reveals Azusa.

"You… Can turn into water?" Takaya is surprised when Azusa displays her ability.

"…" Azusa quitely gaze at Takaya, "I… just learned yesterday,"

"That's great! (Asahi patted Azusa's head) Keep practicing!"

Azusa smiled slightly, happy for the praise that she got, but the battle isn't over yet.

A portal once again appears below Sagara, a hand coming out from it and pulling the body out from the portal revealing Sagiri, "I missed two…" Sagiri said,

"Don't matter, We got a big price today… We got the Golden and Demon's power, only three of them left." Sagara said,

Sagiri stood up, staring at Azusa, "I will take care of Azusa and the Princess-"

"No, Let the Prince and the Princess with me, Take Azusa away from here." Sagara said that with glowing eyes.

- - - - - - - - - - On the opposite,

"What now? Only three of us left…" Asahi looked at Takaya,

"As planned." Takaya said that and looked at Sagiri, "It's up to her now."

An intense energy raised up from Asahi, a purple aura surges from her chest and forming a gold arch with a three stone, she transformed into her second stage shift "Violet."

- - - - - - - - - -

"Azusa-" All of the sudden Sagiri launches herself towards Azusa, breaking through the fences leaving the area,

Sagara, on the other hand, is already in front of Asahi, swinging her staff and hitting her in the stomach. Takaya quickly swings his sword to Sagara but Asahi deflects it with her shield and blows Sagara away with an energy shot.

"Get them! Leave it to me!" she summons a sword from the tip of her shield, "You have more important person to take care of,"

Takaya stepping back while watching Asahi assuring face,

"Don't die on me!" Takaya jumps and fly toward Sagiri direction,

"Oh no you do-" Sagara shot a fireball but Asahi deflected it, "You will be mine to take care of!"

She launched herself into Sagara, dancing around their fights like a red rose and lavender, Like a fireworks exploding in the air. Both are equally matched for power and speed, they clash like it was nothing for them, like both ready to die in every second in the future.

- - - - - - - - - - At the schoolyard, Azusa, landed in the empty field, followed by Sagiri Infront of her. Not long after Takaya also landed behind sagara. Sagiri suddenly fell to the ground, exhausted face drawn, her lung like it was suffocating under water.

Both Takaya and Azusa run to her, expressing their concerns by holding Sagiri for not falling even more,

"Sagiri…" Azusa said with a soft voice of her,

"Do.. Don't worry, Your friends are safe, I just sent them to the school basement…" Sagiri trying hard to hold herself,

"Are you okay?" Takaya asked,

"I'm.. I'm… Fine, I just overdo myself." Sagiri said, her face showing that she gradually became better.

Sagiri drops herself into the ground, sitting relaxed,

"Heal." Azusa holds Sagiri's hand, and radiated light flowing into Sagiri's small body,

"Azu… why… you helping me… while I'm doing bad things to you?"

"..." Takaya looked at the rooftop,

"Because we're friends… Whatever you did, I believe it was for the best for you. I don't have any objections to that…" A warmth words Azusa just said hitting Sagiri's heart,

"I'm…. Sorry…." Water flooded her cheek, sadness and regret colors her face. Seeing her like that, realizing both Takaya and Azusa for how much pain Sagiri has to hold.

Her entire life is already being punched, causing a hole by something else that she is going through for forever she will live.

"Azusa, I need your help… Can you continue to flow your power to me?" Sagiri raised her right hand, a small hole appeared in front of her and she grabbed the white Snake Staff, "I will bring them back, as promised…"

Azusa moved her head down, she shut her eyes, concentrating, suddenly the air began to push toward the two. A bluish light radiates from her entire body.

Sagiri began to summon a white magical circle, it shines brighter and brighter. "Haaaaaaaa!!!"

Like a miracle, two figure silhouette appearing,

"It's not enough… How is this possible…" Sagara with disappointed eyes trying harder and harder,

A sparkling light surround Sagiri like it was glitter that wrapping her, she feel very light, her strength suddenly restored, she looked at her back only to see Takaya has given her more power,

"... Prince, I will not fail you"

Intense power began to surge around her and the magical circle lightened even brighter, the blurry figure eventually being very clear to see, forming a two young girl that she took away.

It stopped suddenly, and blasting a huge wave of wind pushing the three,

"... We're back…" a familiar voice talked from the glowing figure, slowly fading away light and revealing itself,

Takaya with his mouth halfway opened, stepping forward,

"Sa… Sanna…." Takaya relieve tone,

"I'm back… Taka.." The girl smiled expressing her happiness for seeing him again,

Takaya quickly hugs her tightly, his hand holding her head and body to make her never go away from him again, "I'm sorry… If only-"

She wrapped him back gently and tightly, expressing her desire to be in the situation, showing him how she missed him, "It's not your fault… What matters is that I'm back now, also Kanon."

He looked forward an see a little girl just like Nagisa standing confused by the situation,

".... Tak… Takaya! Takaya!" A voice transmission sounded on his ear,

"Ai? Where are you?" Takaya asked,

"I'm on the basements, now going to the rooftop. My brother's bracelet is broken so he couldn't join me." Ai said from her side,

He looked at Azusa and Sagiri that weakened after a big powerful force of power they make,

"Ask Fukushima to prepare a medical attention immediately, there four people needs to-"

"Ai! Ask him only three! I'm fine, I can join you guys!"

Takaya looked at Sanna's eyes, while he wants to talk, Sanna hold his lips,

"Sanna?! YOU'RE BACK?!" Ai is surprised hearing Sanna's voice,

"In the flesh! Now please, ask him for three medical attention!"

"Wait, who the heck is three-"

"Sagiri, Azusa and Kanon, they need attention immediately!"

"Okay! I let my brother know! Bring them to the infirmary, See you up there!" Ai cuts the transmission,

Sanna looked at Takaya's eyes to assures Takaya,

"I'm okay, come on, we better hurry!" Sanna pulls Takaya's hand while movil toward the three girls,

"Oo… Okay!"
