Chapter 7 - Chapter 7 The Start of a War

ichimako:*in his head*it has been only 2 days since my "date" with Himari, and things got out of hand since then

1 day ago

Takehiko goes into Ichimako's room and wakes him up

Takehiko:Ichimako Ichimako ICHIMAKO

Ichimako: what,what do you want why did you wake me Take

Takehiko: I'm sorry for having awakened you at this time, but we all have a reunion and you must come. It's important.

Ichimako: ok ok i'll be there

Takehiko: thank you * he says before opening the room door and leaving *

a few minutes later Ichimako arrives at the reunion room when he opens the door he notices everyone inside waiting for him

Ichimako: hey guys sorry for being late

Himari: if it happens again you'll be punished

Ichimako: i would like that

all except Himari: WHAT

Ichimako: Nothing, Nothing at all, so what are we here to talk about?

Kenji: We found the castle ghoul base, and we're going today

Ichimako: what that's incredible, but isn't it stupid to go there without any plan

Himari: we have a plan, we found a plant of the place they are staying and there are 6 possible entrances, each one is going to take one but since we're seven Sayuri is going with Takehiko who is the weakest of us all, and has tendencies for letting himself die just because he as a power that can bring him back

Takehiko: *SHOOK*WHAAAAT

Ichimako: So when are we going to do this?

Himari: after nightfall, so we should rest now for it

Ichimako: That's what I was doing before you guys woke me up, now how am I supposed to sleep?

Himari: What do you mean by that?*ironically you need any help sleeping?

Ichimako:*thinking: I wonder what she meant by that**embarrassed* never mind i'll manage

everyone leaves the room

Sayuri: ei Genko, Himari, and Ichimako seem to be getting along, maybe too long. Do you think they have something?

Genko: Well they did go on a date yesterday …

Sayuri: WHAT

Genko: yes but i can't affirm that they have something or that they are more than friends but you're right they are getting along more than "just friends" normally do

Sayuri:Do you think that they like each other?

Genko:well possibly

Sayuri:*excited* wouldn't that be cute they would make a great couple

Genko: yes they would, but I can't even imagine Himari confessing her feelings to anyone

Sayuri: well that's true, but maybe with Ichimako that can change

Himari: what are you guys doing here in the middle of the hallway

Sayuri:*nervous* aaaaaa nothing we're…we're…

Genko: we're just talking

Himari: Okay but could you please talk somewhere where it is not in front of my bedroom door?

Sayuri: ooh I'm sorry we didn't notice we'll leave then * smiles* bye

Himari: bye *thinking I wonder what those two were doing there*

6 hours later

Himari:*using the speaker to talk* everyone prepares yourselves, the raid at the Castle Ghouls base will commence in 30 minutes

45 minutes later

Himari: *using a heart plug to communicate you guys hear me

Osamu: yes wow these heart plugs that Ichimako created are amazing they'll be so useful

Ichimako: thank you thank you

Himari: is everyone in position

Osamu: yes

Takehiko: yes

Genko: hum hum

Kenji: ooh yeah

Ichimako: yes let's go

they all entered the castle, and as they entered they noticed that the entrances closed off behind them

Sayuri: guys the entrance closed the moment we got in

Himari: so it happened to you too?

what about the others

Osamu: The same happened here

Genko: and here as well

Ichimako: so it happened to everyone, they might be onto us

Himari: yes that's true, so be careful guys

after only a few meters Genko encountered an open room and someone else in there

Genko:who are you

Yoshi: who am i that's what I should be asking you the one in my home

Genko: I will ask again who are you

Yoshi: well are you always straight to the point, since you insist my name is Yoshi and I am one of the members of this group and since you are evading our home i have to kill you

Yoshi uses all the shadows around Genko to trap him

Yoshi: well how naive of you not to pay attention to your surroundings are you a hero and if you are you a weak one what's your rank little hero how do you intend to defeat a B-ranked

Genko: you talk too much "*thinking he trapped me with the shadows his power is a useful one but not much if there is light in the place and if I copy his power it will negate his, so that's what I'll do*

Genko copies Yoshi's power and stops the shadow from grabbing him and the instance he does he rushes over to Yoshi trying to land him a punch however Yoshi manages to dodge and counterattack with a shadow hand which Genko defends against also using one and then uses a shadow to pull Yoshi's leg which Yoshi is not able to dodge or defend and while Yoshi is being pulled to the ground Genko kicks him in the face and quickly puts a power dampening cuffs in Yoshi

Yoshi: how… how is this possible how could you have defeated me so easily and HOW DID YOU HAVE THE EXACTLY SAME POWER AS ME

Genko: The reason I was able to defeat you so easily was because you were bragging so much about how you would defeat me easily and about being a B ranked but for your information… I'm A ranked and about having the same power as you I will not say

Genko puts a device making Yoshi stuck to the wall and walks away

Yoshi: YOU BASTARD COME BACK HERE, THIS ISN'T OVER, I WILL KILL YOU

Genko: *he tilts his head a little behind that's where you're wrong this is over.

it cuts to where Sayuri and Takehiko are, they have encountered, an enemy as well

Sayuri: hey Take do you see that

Takehiko: what am i supposed to see

Sayuri:that, *she points* there's someone there

Doi:humm you've got a keen eye

Takehiko: What how did you see him

Sayuri: it wasn't that I saw him it's more that I felt him

Takehiko: *surprised* what? that's interesting

Doi: can you stop talking among yourselves

Takehiko: ooh yeah I forgot, who must you be, if you are an evildoer I shall have to put you to rest

Doi: well that doesn't matter but my name is Doi that's the only thing you have to know

Doi as quickly as he can creates a rock and throws it at Takehiko and Sayuri, Takehiko creates an ax and uses it to defend against the giant rock although he defends against it he still takes damage

Takehiko: Sayuri stay back!!

Sayuri: I'll keep healing you

Takehiko: thanks

I think that healer is gonna be annoying*

Doi throws 5 more rocks at Takehiko who manages to cut 3 of them but gets hit by the last two When Doi realizes that he take an opportunity to rush over to try and finish the fight, but Takehiko also uses this opportunity to use his bow and arrow hitting one arrow right at Doi's shoulder

Doi:*thinking this bastard, where was he keeping this bow*

Although feeling pain Doi still keeps pushing forward and throws 3 rocks at Takehiko which he isn't able to defend Takehiko bleeding all over, but still doesn't give up and throws a few more arrows at Doi none of them connect so Takehiko takes both his ax's and throws one of them at Doi which distracts him and the moment Takehiko is closing to Doi, Sayuri creates vines and traps, Doi in place both by his legs and arms

Doi: WHAT?

Takehiko finishes the fight hitting Doi with the back part of his ax knocking Doi out

Sayuri: we did it Take

Takehiko:yes we d…

Takehiko collapse

Sayuri: Takehiko?

Sayuri traps Doi with power-dampening cuffs and rushes to heal Takehiko

a few minutes later Takehiko woke up

Sayuri: Are you okay, Take?

Takehiko: yes, thanks to your healing skills

Takehiko: I report to everyone that we cought one of the villains, do you hear me, hello anyone there,

Takehiko: My communicator is not working, may you try yours

Sayuri: okay, hello can anyone hear me, do you copy? Mine is not working either

Takehiko: well it seems that the communicators are not working for some reason

_____________________________________

Kenji: Well well well, who do we have here?

Rin: im Rin the one who's gonna stop you

Kenji: kid why are you involved with these people, you should get out while you still can

Rin: I'm not a kid I'll make you pay for calling me a kid and use my strongest attack

Rin creates an enormous ball with all the materials in the room and throws it to Kenji which he deflects using his telekinesis

Kenji:Rin, you said? So what is your power?

Rin: i can manipulate objects I created and since I created everything in this room including the room I can destroy you with it

Kenji: interesting, but you still a kid there is no way you'd beat me

Rin: I wouldn't be so sure

Rin starts throwing a bunch of objects that were in the room Kenji dodges all of them without taking his hands out of the pockets

Kenji: Okay this is gone fair enough

Kenji suddenly appears behind Rin with only his speed, and then he puts the cuffs on Rin and traps him to the wall using the same device that Genko used

Kenji: kid you have talent don't waste it being a villain you can have a good life, don't give up just yet

Rin: shut up you don't know anything

Kenji: i do

_____________________________________

Osamu: hello you there what's your name and rank hum I want to fight someone strong so if you're weak I'll finish this in one second

Osuke: well I'm Osuke, and how do you dare to insinuate that I am weak im a B ranked so don't ever call me weak again

Osamu: a B ranked?

Osuke: yes you heard right now you can't run

Osamu: if you are a B ranked then that means… that means you're weak

Osuke:*shocked*WHAT? WHAT RANK ARE YOU?

Osamu: Well im S ranked

Osuke :*trembling with fear* wh..aaa..aa..t?

Osamu appears by his side out of nowhere

Osuke:*Thinking this face he looks like he's going to kill me* PLEASE DON'T KILL ME

Osamu punches him in the face countless times while making his punches stronger creating an energy gauntlet.

Osamu: Are you still alive? well if you not I don't care, all you criminals deserve to die, but, better put the cuffs on him, and strap him to the ground or he might escape

_____________________________________

Yua: hello Himari, is Himari your name right?

Himari: Well, so you know who I am? i wonder how

Yua: you the leader of the heroes or whatever you guys are im obligated to know your name since my boss knows as well

Himari: well I guess it makes sense but I'm done listening to you

Himari creates a bunch of daggers and using her magnetic field manipulation power uses them to attack Yua but somehow before the daggers hit her it seems like they hit something else

Himari:*surprised* whaat? how did that not hit her

Yua: well that is because of my power which allows me to create force fields i guess I'm a bad matchup against you

Himari starts appearing and disappearing. in different places and throwing daggers at her all of which are blocked by the force fields

Himari:* thinking shes right shes a bad matchup if only I could hit her without she could see me if there was a way I could do that, I know*

Himari Daggers suddenly all disappear

Yua: What, you finally gave up, and realized that you can't win?

Yua:*laughing* i knew you couldn't win no matter what, i knew you would fail my force fields that I created every time I saw one of your daggers were enough to make you give up even tho you were stronger, smarter, faster

you couldn't do anything pathetic I w…

Yua suddenly can barely move any part of her body and falls to the ground

Yua: what happened

Himari: if you want to know, i knew that your barriers were created by you at the moment you saw my daggers so I just made one so small that couldn't be seen by human eyes and poisoned it, you were too confident in your power and that lost you the battle

Miyoko:wow Himari is strong

someone else enters the room

Miyoko: *terrified* wait is that… Draken, ooh no I need to go and get some help, who is the closest person here

she checks who the closest person nearby

Miyoko: well it's Ichimako but, no… he's about to fight my brother

_____________________________________

Ichimako enters a room

Ichimako: I know there's someone there show yourself

Ikaru: so you the famous Ichimako, You pretty perceptive to notice I was hiding

Ikaru: rank S- fighter, powers: (blue flame, and thunder creation/manipulation)

Ichimako: "Famous" What do you mean by that?

Ikaru: well you are famous among us you killed one of our members and your friend, to say the least

Ichimako:you…

Ikaru: don't worry, I have a bunch of people too, and didn't like that guy, if you hadn't killed him I would.

Ichimako: YOU BASTARD, HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE YOU KILLED AND WHY?

Ikaru: wow don't get so angry it's not healthy

Ichimako:HOW MANY?

Ikaru: well to be honest I've lost count, but you can't blame me they were annoying me, and like I was stronger than them I just killed them it's easy

Ichimako:*angry* what?

Ichimako charges Ikaru with his blade and anger, but Ikaru defends with a thunder and blue flame double-edged spear

Ikaru: could you please calm down man, if you don't I'll have to kill you as well

Ikaru stabs Ichimako in the shoulder quickly gets in his back and cuts him across his back

Ichimako:*thinking fuck, this guy i way stronger and faster than Aoi, but i believe he's not as durable*

Ikaru tries to stab Ichimako again this time in his eye,which he barely dodges but since he does he takes the opportunity to cute his spear and strike with his sword Ikaru's right leg cutting him, Ikaru then make another spear, he and Ichimako exchange some attacks the Ikaru throws a blue flame fireball at Ichimako, then he uses his thunder speed and appears in front of Ichimako in less than half a second, and when he's about to kill him Ichimako looks at him and smiles terrifyingly and disappears

Ikaru:*Ikaru feeling scared and excited ARE YOU, DON'T THINK YOU CAN HIDE, I WILL FIND YOU AND KILL YOU AND EVERYONE YOU CARE ABOUT

suddenly in only 0.000001 seconds, Ichimako appears behind Ikaru and now slices his left leg muscle making him unable to move it

Ikaru: AHHHHH *he screams out of pain*

Ichimako appears from the top gets him on the ground and puts his sword right in his neck

Ichimako with his Katana close to Ikaru's neck and bleeding all over the place says

Ichimako: you've killed a lot of innocent people just for the kicks of it, you truly are an evil person and for that, I shall kill you

Ikaru:I AM AN EVIL PERSON? DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US YOU WILL KILL ME BECAUSE YOU WANT TO JUST THE SAME WAY I KILLED BECAUSE I WANTED TO

Ichimako: perhaps you right... but I'll still kill you

when Ichimako is about to kill Ikaru someone enters the room and screams

Miyoko: *almost crying* ICHIMAKO PLEASE DON'T KILL HIM, PLEASE DON'T KILL MY BROTHER

Ichimako :*shocked*what Miyoko your...your brother? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE MIYOKO HAVE YOU BEEN PLAYING KENJI ALL ALONG WHAT'S YOUR PLAN

Miyoko: no i haven't, Kenji knows everything you can ask him, i am not an evil person i just want to protect my brother

Ichimako:*thinking Kenji knows it?*

Miyoko: and I think you want to protect someone as well Himari is in trouble you'll need to come with me you're the only one that can help her please i don't want anything bad happening to her so please believe me

Ichimako: WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU SAY WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU

Miyoko: there is no reason for you to believe me, but if you don't come HIMARI WILL DIE SO PLEASE ICHIMAKO HELP HER you're THE ONLY WHO CAN

Ichimako rushes over to Miyoko and says

Ichimako: okay I will believe you so show me where Himari is

Miyoko: thank you right, through here

as they are running through the hallway Miyoko notices something and asks

Miyoko: Ichimako your wounds have all healed up how's that possible

Ichimako: what? well i don't know, i guess i just heal faster than normal people

Miyoko:*thinking healing faster than a normal person? that makes no sense even a person who heals more than normal would take hours to heal from those injuries and he did it in 5 minutes that's way more than normal it seems you do

Miyoko: 're here

the moment they got there they just saw Draken stabbing Himari right in her heart with his fiery katana

Ichimako:*emotionless, shocked,angry* NOOOOOOO

he goes to attack Draken, but suddenly he is in the hallway again running

Ichimako:*confused* wha… what happened Himari, Draken killed her I saw it… no no no we have to be faster i don't know how but I was given a second chance to save her I gotta take we have to be faster.

Miyoko: what are you talking about

Ichimako runs so fast to get there that he breaks the sound barrier, but when he gets there he still sees Himari die again

Ichimako:*desperate* no no no NO NOT AGAIN PLEASE NOOOOO

again he rushes over but suddenly he's in the Hallway again

Ichimako:*desperate* NO WHY WHY CAN'T I SAVE HER *thinking, no matter what I do i can't save her not even if I teleport there there is nothing I can do, still i won't give up*

Miyoko: what's happening Ichimako calm down

Ichimako: DON'T YOU TELL ME TO CALM DOWN DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T

Miyoko: Ichimako what's happening

Ichimako: we have to be faster we have to we have we have to

and the same happened over and over and over again more than two hundred million times

but suddenly everything changes out of nowhere, and he encounters himself in a white place different than all other things

Ichimako:*Desperate* wha...aa…t where am i

Mysterious female voice: You're in a place outside time and space

Ichimako: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHO ARE YOU?

and suddenly a Beautiful whiter than snow, with blue eyes and beautiful silver hair woman appears

Tokiwa: my name is Tokiwa and I am the goddess of time

Ichimako: Goddess of time?

Tokiwa: yes, I've put you here because you have been traveling backing in for more than fifty years and not achieving anything

Ichimako: Fifty years, has it been that long?

Tokiwa: yes Ichimako, and that is why I have a proposal for you, I can help you defeat Draken by letting you absorb my strength and power however after that you'll only have 20 minutes to fight and defeat him and absorb his demon for your own but when the 20 minutes end you'll enter in a comma for 3 months or even die

Ichimako: if there's the slightest chance to stop Draken from killing Himari I'll take it

Tokiwa: okay you'll have my power you will be able to stop time but not limitless, like you're still weak to access my full power you'll only be able to use it three times for one second, now knowing that absorb me

Ichimako: okay noted, and how to i absorb you then

Tomiwa: that's up to you invent a word you'd like and extend your hand and think about wanting to absorb me

Ichimako:* thinking hmm what word should i use i wonder, ooh i know* Emerge

Tomiwa disappears but only fiscally because now her soul lives inside Ichimako

now Ichimako is again in the hallway

Ichimako: Miyoko I'll be going ahead to be sure Himari is good

Miyoko:okay

Ichimako stops time for one second for the first time, meaning this time Ichimako arrived there before Draken killed Himari

Ichimako:Himari stand back

Himari: Ichimako?

Draken goes to attack Himari with his fiery Katana but Ichimako parries the attack with is own Katana

Draken:*excited* hum so you here, finally I'll finish off this family

they keep attacking each other, but both are defending and dodging

Draken:*thinking how is this possible when I Absorbed Haruto it gave me the ability that every time I fight someone they lose half their strength and speed and he is still in my level no he above me lets out a scream of pain

Ichimako had sliced his arm right off and then suddenly Ichimako realized 19 minutes had passed and that Draken had stabbed him in the heart so he used the time stop to finally finish Draken off, cutting each member off his body only letting his head and then.

Ichimako: i guess i was the one who finished your family Aoi's father

Draken:how did you kn…

Ichimako cuts Draken head right off without any expression on his face

Ichimako: i guess you died the same way your son did, Emerge

Ichimako falls to the ground, and the moment he does, Himari goes rushing to him

Himari: Ichimako are you okay

Ichimako: yes but Himari there's something i must tell you before it's too late

Himari: *with tears running down her face you can tell me anything

Ichimako:*smiles* i love you

Ichimako says before losing his conscious

the others all encounter that room and see Ichimako on the ground with a sword stabbed through him

Himari:*crying* ICHIMAKO PLEASE DON'T DIE PLEASE I LOVE YOU TO PLEASE DON'T DIE YOU HEAR ME I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU ICHIMAKO please…don't…die

Sayuri hugs her

Sayuri: don't worry Himari I'll stabilize him and heal all I can then we will take him to the hospital i won't let Ichimako die i promise you

Himari: please sayuri please heal him
