Chapter 40 - Tragedy And Comedy

<>

"NO! SOMEONE! HELP!!!" 

A very usual sound of scream is always heard. The subway is the place of thugs and robbers doing its scene every night, every day. 

The robber, running away from the subway, evaded people that were trying to stop him. He's very skilled and strong, he even knocked the guard down only with his bare hand. He exits the station and runs away towards the woods.

He kept running so far from the city, until he arrived at a small cottage where he stopped and examined the bag that he robbed. Collecting many things including money and a cellphone. 

"Got enough?" 

"Huh??!!" A sound of a girl echoed at his ears, surprising him making him crashing out from the cottage, 

"Who are you?! Show yourself!"

The man screamed in the empty wood, asking for a person to come out. 

"Know your place, criminal." 

A figure with red crimson eyes coming out from the side of the tree, a moonlight glistening her revealed her unusual dress with radiating red light, beautiful but scary.

"Stay wherever you are! I have a gun-" 

"And I have the power to immediately stop your life."

The red crimson eyes foreshadow her might, flashes to the man's eyes. With only that he dropped his gun to the ground. 

"Your sins are forgiven. But only with one thing you must do," the girl walking towards the freezing man, she rises her right hand over her hips and pulls out a red Samurai, 

"Death." 

With that word, the man's head falls to the ground, only with one slash of her. 

The moon is shining with the red light making the night skies look terrifying. 

"Only one trick the 'devil' does to the world where he does not exist… Convincing, and after that, he's gone."

"You don't have to do that, you know… Killing innocent robber like that… Is not like you that I always know."

Another girl landed before her, closing the man corps with his jacket.

"Innocent? Then what am I in this world?" the girl dematerialized her dress to the school girl uniform. Tight her long hair to a long  twin tailed.

"You must stop doing things like this." The girl with green hair stood and turned around, "You may have the power, but your soul is not in there."

The girl walks away ignoring her companion,

"Rin!" The green haired girl screamed at her, "This is not you…" 

Rin turned her face halfway gazed at the girl, "I know… But to have the power to defeat her, I must do anything… Anything to bring her down.

Life is a tragedy in the close-up and a comedy in a long shot."

"So guys, let me introduce our newest member… they will be out support from now on," Takaya said, the twin girl enters the room with their combat uniforms, 

"Sagara Sarasaki and her little sister, Sagiri Sarasaki,"

Everyone claps their hands, welcoming them with warmth, also with Sanna, Ai, Fukushima, Saega and Asahi.

"And also, please welcome our new trainer," 

A short yellowed hair with a shining blue eyes enter the room,

"My older sister, Elite Team commander, Vanny Takahashi. She will be here for a couple of months training us and doing several missions while she's here. We will be under her guidance." 

Everyone shocked to see Vanny also there,

"Well this is too sudden but we're going to start our meeting, and she will be leading this meeting."

Takaya and the twins are sitting at the empty chair, while Vanny brings her twin's sword into the table.

"Since the academy is now under reconstruction, I am now appointed to be you guys' trainer exclusively. Now I'm just Vanny, not an Elite Team commander, so call me as you pleased, is that clear?" Vanny said,

Everyone in the room nodded, 

"Great.. Now I have a announcement to make, but before that let's remember ourselves about the ancient warrior that currently know, 

Light, Forgotten, Distortion, Natura, Aquarea, Demon and Verdants. That is all what you guys know right?" Vanny said,

Everyone nodded once again, while Vanny clicking a button on the table and showing the remaining warriors that still unknown,

"And today, you guys will know the other ancient warrior that we already discovered," 

"Glass, The ruler of ice. Blaze, The wielder of fire Lastly, Volt, The ruler of the skies and thunder,"

Vanny stepping back toward the screen, 

"As you see, the two remaining warriors are currently still unknown. We connected with the recent event that the last missing person still has not been found. Surely she is the one of the two remaining warriors."

Azusa raised her hand,

"But, Ms. Vanny, aren't there three names of the remaining warriors? Why did you mention only two?" 

Vanny smiled to her, reaching her twin sword and pulling it, revealing a small lightning each inch it pulled out,

"Because one that I didn't mention is in front of you."

Her eyes turned its color to red and the light of the room began to dim itself, 

Takaya smiled, "So, this is the reason why you're here." 

Vanny with her strong and unreachable power, changing the atmosphere, it becomes more intensively heavy,

"Indeed", she put her sword back, and the atmosphere changes into the normal state as before, 

"I am one of the ancient warriors, The Volt. But I may ask you to not speak about me and my power. Only you and the Elite Teams know about this. Especially Takaya. You did well." Vanny smiled at Takaya,

"As she said, please keep this information to yourself." Takaya said,

After the sudden revelation, Everyone is shocked. Asahi raised her hand to Vanny,

"Everything you talked about always had its reason, mind to explain what the point of all of this means?" Asahi said with serious eye, making every eyes looked after her,

"There are two main things that I trusted with, one is to train you guys how to use and achieve your highest potential, and two is to gather the rest of the remaining ancient warriors from the hands of S.I.N. After that, you are free to choose whether or not you want to fight for X.A.G or not." Vanny said,

Asahi somehow looked annoyed by Vanny, but she quickly hits her thoughts,

"But today is not the time for that. Today I will spar between you guys and I to see your potential."

"WHATTTTTT????!!!!" Everyone shocked by the word that Vanny just said,

Vanny with her special suit, geared with her twin sword, is already in the middle of the training ground. Every staff member on the facility watches like it was in the colosseum.

"First match, Azusa Azaki." The announcement of the battle calls for Azusa, with the door of the entrance opened, Azusa walks out already in her astral armor state. 

Vanny smiled look at Azusa,

"Are you ready?" Vanny said to Azusa,

"Ready!" She said,

Surprisingly Vanny launched herself toward Azusa,

Azusa surroundings surging with water, forming a multiple layer dome of protection,

But Vanny easy penetrates the wall of water only with her bare hand, 

"No way.." Azusa said surprised by Vanny sudden move,

"Yup, you lose." Surprisingly Vanny is already behind Azusa and strikes her with her thunder.

Azusa collapsed to the ground, also her dome of protection.

"You're good, but you're lacking battle experience… 

Who's next?"
