7 One Big Problem

The days went by and the group continues their training with Ryuu. Everyone learned new tricks and skills for later battles and sometimes they even fight each other just to test each other and help each other. On the other hand, Jun was still adapting to the whole group but she also started to understand the others to the point that she started enjoying herself. But one morning, Lix went out of the house and went for a walk.

While walking, he started to sing a song that he grew up with. It was called "Dawn of the hero". He was walking around the streets of Tokyo while listening to music when he stumbled upon a store with a rare sign that said " Dream N' Drive". He entered the store and a manly voice welcome him. He looked to where the voice was and saw a guy behind a counter. The guy had black spiky short hair, reddish eyes, and a scruffy beard. He was wearing a black jacket, dark grey sweatpants, and black shoes. Lix approached the guy and spoke to him...

Lix: " I see there's a new store around."

?: " There sure is."

Lix: " So, do you have a name that I can address you with?"

?: "You can call me Jin. So what brings you to Dream N' Drive, my friend?"

Lix: " Nothing, for now, just checking the store, that's all."

Jin: " If you need something, just tell me."

Lix then started checking around the store. The store sells clothes, caps, accessories, shoes, and collectibles. Lix was checking everything till one point he stops in front of a product. It was a necklace with a black and purple sword. He grabbed the necklace and went to pay for it. Once he was at the counter, Jin showed a small smile and looked at Lix.

Jin: " I see that something catch up your eye."

Lix: " How much for it?"

Jin: " This one is on the house."

Lix: " Nah man, tell me how much and I'll pay for it."

Jin: " I insist besides something tells me that you might come back later with some friends."

Lix: " Thanks, man. sooner or later I'll come and visit alongside my friends."

Jin: " No problem my friend."

Lix exited the store and kept walking in the streets of Tokyo for another 20 minutes. After a while, the ground started to shake a lot, and Lix saw how the people started to run on the opposite side. Soon after, a giant ashborn appeared, and Lix felt astonished by the size of the creature. It had the appearance of a giant humanoid creature with two horns, four arms, and wings. it was black and grey with reddish eyes. Lix grabbed his phone from his left pocket and called Eiji immediately...

Eiji: " What happened?"

Lix: " Come with the others quickly and that also means Ryuu as well."

Eiji: " Okay... and why do I hear some screams?"

Lix: " Why don't you see it for yourself once you're here

Eiji: " I'll be there as soon as possible."

Lix: " Thanks, man."

Lix then hangs up the call and summoned his Heiki and went towards the giant ashborn that was coming his way. Meanwhile, Eiji look for the others and told them what he heard from Lix throughout the phone call...

Eiji: " Guys, guess we gotta hurry up right now towards where Lix is."

Jun: " Why so?"

Eiji: "Apparently something is going on in his location."

Yuki: " So that means trouble then?"

Eiji: "For what I heard in the background, yes."

Makoto: " Then let's go."

Eiji: " Right but first, where's Ryuu?"

Jun: " He's in his room. He told us to not disturb him. Why?"

Eiji: " Well, Lix told me to also bring him up."

Jun: " Suit yourself then for the worse."

Eiji: " I guess so.",

Eiji went upstairs and went to Ryuu's room and knocked it while speaking...

Eiji: " Ryuu are you there? we got an emergency, Lix needs our help."

Ryuu: " Didn't I make myself clear, to not disturb... What the hell happened?"

Eiji: " Something is happening in Lix's location."

Ryuu: " Is that bad?"

Eiji: " We'll he ask me to bring you up."

Ryuu: " That explains a lot. Well, time for some action. Now, let's go."

The whole group exited Ryuu's house directing their way towards Lix's location. Meanwhile, Lix was battling the giant ashborn while struggling with it. He went on ahead and landed a clean cut on the left leg of the creature but it wasn't as effective as he thought. Instead, that just makes the creature angrier. Lix back off enough to get some distance from the creatures.

Soon after, he heard a voice coming from behind. He turned his head and it was Eiji alongside the others. Eiji looked at the giant creature and soon, he spoke...

Eiji: " Holy shit, that's one big problem."

Makoto: " Now I see why you needed Ryuu on this one."

Ryuu: " Enough chit-chat, let's beat it before it wreaks more havoc than he already did."

Yuki: " But how are we gonna do that?"

Ryuu: " Just watch, kid."

After saying that, Ryuu summoned his Heiki and went off ahead. He swung his greatsword and landed a clean cut on the creature's right leg, separating it from the rest of the body. Ryuu did the same with the left leg and the creature fell on his back while crying in pain. The others felt astonished at what happened and charged on ahead too. Soon after, the creature's feet started growing once more to the point that they were complete. Ryuu seeing this back off and so did the others. The creature then stood up and targeted the group by trying to hit them but instead, it hit the ground since the group evaded the attack.

Eiji looked at the others and soon spoke to them...

Eiji: " So what do we do now?"

Jun: " It must have a weak spot somewhere."

Lix: " See if you can find it."

Yuki: " Wait, what's that on its chest?"

On the chest of the creature, a green gem was seen. Lix looked at the others and spoke to them...

Lix: " Guess that's the weak spot."

Eiji: " But how are we gonna get up there?!"

Jun: " Since nobody can't, I will."

Yuki: " So that leaves us to distract that giant thing."

Ryuu: " anyway kids, show me that you're up to the task!"

Everyone charged up towards the giant creature and started attacking it. Meanwhile, Jun teleported herself to a tall building in order to prepare herself for it. Once it was the right time, Jun jumped from the building towards the chest of the creature. Once she was close, she summoned her pair of wakizashi and thrust them on the gem that was on the chest making it crack in pieces. The creature screamed angrily and went full berserk. Jun, on the other hand, seeing that she couldn't sustain much longer, pushed herself out of the chest and soon after landed next to Lix.

Ryuu on the other hand charged up ahead and did a clean cut on the right leg of the creature making this one fall to the ground. Lix saw something different this time and that was that the leg wasn't regenerating. Lix charged up towards the head of the creature and did a clean cut on it. Soon after, the body started to disappear in front of the group only leaving particles behind floating in the air. Eiji looked at the others and spoke...

Eiji: " Well, who's hungry?"

Lix: " Let's get something to eat then."

Eiji: " Hell yeah!"
