Chapter 6 - The Ending Of A New Beginning

"Shouldn't you know by now? Mitsuharu can fight and use his skills, but if the attack from the other opponent is too strong he has to cancel.. That weakling could never focus.." Shiro said with a smile on his face waiting for him to answer. "HahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Mitsuharu places his hand on his face and the side of his face cracks completely showing the elf with the other members of his group's eyes inside his.

"There's something you should know! We aren't him! You think we'll give up this chance to kill all of you?! Look into the sky again.." They all looked up and saw something catching on fire coming down, it was a huge meteor that was as big as the whole kingdom.

"I should've just stayed in my home kingdom if this was going to happen.."

"I never seen Mitsuharu do this.."

"How are we going to fight that and him at the same time..."

"Planetary Destruction.." Konami said the name of the attack.

"This isn't a good time Priestess.." Wakao said with despair in her eyes while looking at the huge meteor. "No, that was the name Mitsuharu called it. It was an attack made to take out multiple enemies at once, also able to level an entire kingdom, a move made for the Demon Queen but he never had a chance to use it." She explained. "How do you know so much about Mitsuharu?" Eiko asked Konami, she looked away for a second before looking at Mitsuharu who was holding the side of his face with a crazed look. "He thought of me as his little sister he had. I'm not sure why but he did.."

Konami has a flashback of Mitsuharu sitting on a roof, Mitsuharu's eyes were empty as he stared into the sky before a young Konami found him.

"Subaru?" She called out to him, he turned around and his eyes are fine now.

"Akeno? How long have you been there?"

"I told you, you can call me Konami." She sits next to him looking into the sky.

Mitsuharu is surprised but doesn't say anything. "Why are you up here alone?" She asked him. He itches his side of face not knowing what to say but he says it anyway. "I was... just thinking about my little sister..", "Was she teleported here with you?" Konami asked him, he kept looking up at the stars. "She died... with my parents, it happened a few years ago, I can't remember much.." Konami looked at him in fear as his body leaked out his aura, she kept her cool. He turns to face her as he sees sweat going down her face, like she's afraid. "Is something wrong? ... Oh crap!" Mitsuharu breathes in then out releasing his aura. "Sorry… I can't control that when it does happen.." Mitsuharu apologizes to Konami with a nervous smile, she smiles back. "It's fine, I just never thought you'd be like this." Mitsuharu looked up at the sky without thinking about it. "Eh, I guess you're right. Y'know you remind me of my sister..", "Is that why you saved me?" Konami asked Mitsuharu and he thought about it with a hand on his chin. "I saved you because I knew it was right, I'll never be able to sleep if I didn't." Mitsuharu said while looking away from Konami. "Well besides all the sad things, was there anything you thought about while being in another Kingdom?" Mitsuharu's eyes lit up as he jumped up to his feet with stars in his eyes from excitement. "Stardust Meteor!", "You're telling me, out of all of the things you could've done, you named another move? Try not to name it like the last one.." Mitsuharu sits back down sadden. "What do you think I should name it? It's similar to Stardust Valley, just a meteor. I made it so we can deal with the Demon Queen's goons!", "Well how big is the attack?" Mitsuharu places his hand on his chin again, thinking. "It's about a kingdom large attack, it's where I drag a meteor out of the sky and throw it down, well I don't grab it I just pull it out of the sky." Mitsuharu, replied nonchalantly. "What..." He was about to explain again but she cut him off. "And just how much energy or whatever you use will take?", "Now if we had to say how many times will I be able to use it... it'll be two times so it doesn't take much. I will be tired after the first one and will need a ten minute break." Konami just stares at Mitsuharu dumbfounded while he looks at her with the same hyper expression. "You just explained a planetary attack like it's nothing, do you know how big that is?! You could become a threat to other kingdoms if they ever find out about it!" Mitsuharu thinks about it then shrugs. "Eh, it won't come to that." A light bulb lights up in Mitsuharu's head as he jumps up again. "Planetary Destruction! That's a cool name! I'll definitely call it that!", "Hey! Is that you Mitsuharu?! Can you shut up! People are trying to sleep!" Araki peeked her head out the window angry, soon Daiki, Kyoya, and Shiro shouted at him as he laughed quietly, Konami laughed at Mitsuharu.

The flashback ends and Konami thinks of something before something snaps. "Everyone come here!" They all group around Konami. "Planetary Destruction is still a new move, no one should know about this move because Mitsuharu never used it. They somehow know about it, but what they don't know is how weak it makes them.", "Aren't we still at a disadvantage?", "Yes but no. This move takes too much energy from Mitsuharu, he'll be tired for ten minutes, we need to attack him so Planetary Destruction can disappear." She explained but everyone still finds it hard to listen to Konami. "I was too late..." They all turned around and saw a lady holding Yami, she was wearing ragged clothes and the hole in his chest was healed. Her long red hair and green eyes with a black dot under her eye and having heavy bags under her eyes. "Who are you? And what are you doing with Yami!?" Eiko shouted at the lady, she ignored her. A dragon landed on the ground behind her and multiple dragons came out of nowhere surrounding the castle. "My master, we're here..", "Take him away from here Motharth, keep him safe." The dragon opened his large claw as she laid him down in his hand. Everyone is dumbfounded and not able to speak. "Motharth, The Dark Dragon King..?" Daiki said with a serious face. This dragon had black scales, was large and had dark red eyes. "You sure you don't want help, master?", "No, keep him far away from this castle and if I see him near this place I'll kill you and your entire bloodline.." The dragon nodded, he lifted into the sky and flew away and the other dragons followed. 

The meteor comes down faster and faster getting closer to the castle. "Move or die..." The lady orders them and they all move away quickly as she walks by them heading towards Mitsuharu. "Just who is that..?" Wakao asked and they all couldn't respond. The lady's eyes glowed as red and black chains came out the ground and wrapped around the meteor, stopping it. Mitsuharu is caught by surprise. He looked behind Shiro and saw the lady walking towards him, he blinked and she appeared in front of him grabbing him by the neck. She lifted him into the sky, as he stared into her eyes he saw something. He swings at her with his katana in panic, she brings her arm up blocking and shattering the blade with just her arm. "Elf, Laeroth Wyndove, #3. Half elf, Jorneak Adgolor, #2. Human, Elwyn Wynqirelle #4, Young human Otsuka Seiki #5, and the strongest Half Orc Brozzorg, #1. You will witness true hell.." She stares into the fake Mitsuharu eyes and they all were teleported into another area where fire is everywhere and they saw someone on a throne with her legs crossed and looking annoyed at the numbers, they all look around shocked. They're inside a throne room in a castle with holes in the roof and walls. "You can't be who I think you are.." The Heroes Party stares at the lady in confusion. In the sky the moon is there and it's blood red with an eye looking down at them. She raises her head making everyone kneel without even noticing, they all look up and see some strange beast around them about to grab their heads. "Not them, just those five." The demons move from the Heroes Party to the Numbers looking down at them with a sinister smile. "Please! Spare us! We didn't do anything to offend you, her Highness!", "I told you this was a bad idea!", "Well how were we supposed to know this was going to happen?!", "This can't be her can it?! I thought the Demon Queen was dead!", "We did all this for your arrival, your Highness!" They all panicked, and her look changed from anger into disgust. She gets off her throne made of bones and walks down the stairs of bodies, she stops in front of the group. One of the demons stands in front of her, she punches her fist through his body and pulls out a sword that's made of blood. "For me? I can't believe you'll do all this for me... let me reward you.." The room went silent, even the demons that stood around the numbers were expression changed into fear. "Yes, thank you so much, your highness-." She cuts off the elf's head with a quick motion, his blood splashes on the face of his teammates. "I told you, I'll show you real hell.." The black/red chains pushed open the tall door behind them and wrapped around their whole bodies and pulled them away. They all screamed as all you can hear is stabbing and slashes. The Demon Queen sighed, she turned to her throne about to walk back but Konami was able to stand up. "Izumi!" The Demon Queen turns around raising her eyebrow, Konami stands there unfazed by The Demon Queen's stare. "Konami Akeno." She said to the Priestess with a smile.

Konami kept her guard up, Izumi snapped her fingers changing the surroundings completely, everything is white with there only being a long table with a teapot pouring tea into their cups. "What's happening right now? Where's the kids?!" Araki asked Izumi. "Relax, only those who have been blessed by the gods and goddess can enter this place. Your children are safe and sound." Izumi replied. "Are you really alive or are you just a ghost?" Daiki sat in the chair, and took a sip of the tea and just melted into the chair relaxing. "I... am a ghost.. Come on all of you, have a seat." Everyone sat down but didn't drink the tea. Shiro stood there, the one without a chair and held onto his sword.

"Where's your chair Shiro?" Daiki asked.

"He doesn't need one, as a soldier and dog he should like standing up." Izumi replied, looking at Shiro with anger.

"Was that you who healed Yami?! Just what did you do with him!?" Konami asked her and she didn't answer.

"You can come out, Ittuna, Goddess Of Assassination, Qyzena, Goddess Of Mercy, Cyrus, God Of Mana, Chagarus, God Of Strength, and you… Ghoktuna, Goddess Of Order." All the gods and goddess stood behind their chosen hero, Qyzena stood behind Konami wearing all white with a yellow halo, her hair was the same as Konami, her eyes are closed but she can still see, she has two pair wings on her back and they were huge. "It's been awhile Izumi.." She said, with a soft tone. "There's no need to greet her in such a tone Qyzena." A lady behind Araki replied floating. She was wearing purple with daggers on her side, her halo was a purple one. "Why can't you be nicer Ittuna? You're just mad that Izumi beat you, and embarrassed you! Hahaha!" A buffer god behind Daiki started to laugh at Ittuna then she threw a dagger at him but he caught it and kept laughing. He was wearing blacksmith gear with a fur coat around his neck. His halo is a titling one that was blue. "It's been awhile since we all talked like this hasn't it?" The god with the glasses said to the gods. His halo was moving as he spoke, he wore a lab coat and pushed his glasses up so he could see better. "Izumi.." Ghoktuna called her name. She was dressed in a natural outfit and wearing gold, her wings were bigger than the others meaning she's higher than them. Her halo went through three colors, yellow, blue, and white. "Why are they here?" Daiki asked Izumi. "We all knew each other, as the Demon Queen I would know those who I hate." Izumi sips her tea, keeping her cool. "I mean she is the person that beat all of us at such a young age! Izumi, The Strongest Demon Lord. I didn't think you'd hate us though." Chagarus replied in confusion. "She was named an enemy by Ghoktuna, and what she says is final.", "No, that's Qyzena, Ittuna. She just took over as a temporary leader." Cyrus corrected her. 

They all sat in silence, Izumi sat up in her chair as her broken black with a red glow halo appeared above her head. "I brought all of you here today for a reason. I just wanted to tell Ghoktuna something.", "And what is that Izumi." She asked Izumi, she stood up slamming her hand on the table making everyone jump. "You broke my promise! So your kingdom is as good as dead to me." The gods stare at Ghoktuna questioning what she did. "Now get out before I destroy your trash Kingdom.." Izumi snaps her fingers teleporting everyone back into the courtyard, the meteor is gone and that lady from before is gone as well, the only thing there is Mitsuharu shell slowly falling apart. "Are you guys okay? You just fell over after the meteor was crushed." Wakao helped up Araki. The sun rose shining down on them. Kei helped up Kyoya as they started looking for Konami until they found her with the Mitsuharu fake walking towards her as she was sitting on the ground. "Get away from my Mom!" Kei shoots a fireball at Mitsuharu, the fake looks at it then at Konami. BOOM; the explosion was loud and caught everyone's attention, they all ran over and saw something they never thought they would see. "Konami?!" Araki ran over but stopped. "H-How?" The smoke cleared and they saw Mitsuharu blocking Konami from the blast, he lost an arm and some part of his rocky body, he had a smile on his face as it chipped away. "You… okay… Maiko?.." Konami's eyes were watery as he stood in front of her breaking apart. "You… always were… clumsy... little sis.." Before Konami could grab him he gave her one last smile before falling apart turning into rocks on the ground. Konami's tears fell on the crumble Mitsuharu who were rocks and dust, Araki sat next to her as she cried. "Why did she feel for Mitsuharu so much? And who is Maiko?" Eiko asked herself. "Maiko was Subaru's sister..", "He always felt as if he needed to protect Konami but she never wanted that. But she knew how our leader was so no matter what he protected her and everyone else.." Kyoya said, walking over to Daiki and Eiko who were talking. The Queen is in the courtyard looking for something or someone, Shiro stood up with cuts all over his body. "Shiro! Where's that boy?! We need to find him, that dragon took him, we need to hurry and-", "Shut up. Just shut your mouth for one second! Yami is dead, Chiziwa and that's the end of it!" Shiro walks away from The Queen leaving her dumbfounded, Shiro walked by Konami and Araki, he had his back turned on them before saying something, "You need to leave, from here on this kingdom owes you nothing." Konami's eyes widen as she notices something. "YOU BASTARD!" Araki grabs Konami who had dropped her staff and tears in her eyes. "It's your fault he's dead! You killed him!", "Konami calm down! Kyoya!" Araki shouted for Kyoya and he covered them with a barrier. "I did what I had to, he was too weak to be a hero." Shiro said without showing them his face, he walked towards the castle hurt but not caring. The info they just learned had everyone speechless and hopeless, but Konami still had anger in her eyes banging on the barrier so much her hands were bleeding and Araki couldn't stop her, she fell to the ground with tears in her eyes but there was more than before. "So it was you..?" Daiki asked Shiro but he just kept walking. "Oh, thanks to you Kyoya I was able to find him, so again thanks.." Shiro said, making them speechless and Konami staring at him in heartbreak. They all stood there looking like outcasts, the Heroes Party they were before they aren't anymore. The death of Subaru Mitsuharu had an effect on all of them, the whole world mourned the hero, he affected everyone with his smile, his greatness but some didn't want that. The Kingdom Of Goktuna, the ones who summoned him, were murdered by the person who he called a friend, a brother.. The mission of the heroes were meant to defeat the Demon Queen, and they did but before The Heroes, Kyoya The Sage, Konami The Great Priestess, Daiki The Blacksmith and Tank, Araki The Assassin Queen, Shiro The Swordsman Of all Weapons, and The Leader Subaru The Summoned Hero. The last time they saw Subaru and Shiro was near a demon village where they were suffering from the fight with the demons, something made Subaru stop and help them. It took a while for the team to help but they did, everyone except Shiro. Subaru and Shiro fought and the fight was one-sided. That was the last time the team saw them and it would be the last time they saw Subaru alive. A year and a half later the team found Subaru sitting on a hill looking at the sun setting, he died with a smile on his face. They thought he was murdered by the Demon Queen so they used that anger they had for her and rushed to her castle where they found Shiro covered in blood and many demons at his feet, they told him about Subaru but he kept his back turned on them and rushed ahead. As they fought the demons it was like the demons were mourning and not doing much fighting, once they were done they made it to The Demon Queen's throne room and from the look on her face she looked as if she was crying and wasn't angry at The Heroes Party but staring at Shiro with all her rage. That day the Demon Queen was defeated and the demon army vanished. 

Somewhere inside of a kingdom where it's always night, inside of a hideout, a man with stitches all over him sat in a room with pins and marks of things on a map, a hooded person pushes open the door as if he's in a hurry. "Sir! The Numbers failed! And they used the power of Subaru and lost!" The man sits up in his chair with a grin, his long white hair and his sharp grin. "They had what was coming to them, no doubt about it, but how did they lose?" The man asked the hooded figure. "Some lady who looked as if she were some beggar just walked to him and picked him up by his neck and after that he just fell on the ground but I couldn't feel their mana. It's like they just vanished.." The man raised his eyebrow. "It was like they were killed or eased completely." The man places his hand on chin, he shakes his head before getting up. "Too bad for them, are we ready for the plan?", "It'll be about 20 years if everything goes as planned. Maybe longer since the numbers went missing." The man looks at the map and it all points to one spot on the map in the middle of the country. Red lines are all over the map, most connecting with the kingdoms except three. "What about Shiro and his kid?", "Shiro's son, Yami was killed by The Numbers but he still wants to work with us." The hooded figure replied, he drops to a kneeling position as if he's in front of a king. "The plan should move forward at all cost, now try to get the Kings on our side from each of those two kingdoms, I'll deal with The Hope Kingdom." The man ordered him. "Yes, future Demon Lord Abyzou.." Abyzou had a grin on his face as his underling left the room, the moon shining through the window showing Abyzou's figure. "The fun is just beginning. As some would say, the ending of a new beginning.."
