Chapter 9: The Throne of the King and the Professor

Date: Æ1289 12, 3

Middle of the night. The 5 greats are wandering in a hallway inside a castle.

"We should not be wandering out here Agatsuma Hit... I'm sensing a lot of Dark mobs around us and an unknown presence of a little man under the king's throne... Alive!" Tsuyuri Shi said in a modest voice as he walks to the side of Agatsuma's hit.

"Alive you say? I heard rumors that the king has a professor under his basement and keeping secrets," Agatsuma hit said as he walks straight.

As they walked they see people dead and still blood in the ground. But they're all already been dead a long time.

"The reason why the king died is he doesn't have a legend knight, or a knight a soldier that can protect he's castle even though he's away," Agatsuma Hit said to the other 4 greats.

"We were called the five Greats! Because of him, now we will take revenge and look for signs of who Dark Shira killed him," Agatsuma Hit said angrily looking back to them. The 4 of them know how angry Agatsuma Hit as he walks back again.

They see a broken wall in front of them. "Should we go there if we're going left?" Katrina said. "We're going in, we're looking for the kings thrown and seeing for ourselves of what was that rumor that we've been hearing of," Agatsuma Hit as they walk inside the broken wall.

Shikari Gakure stops in a big wooded tree in a branch. He stops to look around. He looks up and sees that the current moon is full.

He looks to the ground and sees a traveler. He quickly goes down because it's the middle of the night. As soon as he gets down the traveler quickly disappears.

He quickly looks around for the traveler. He didn't find the traveler as he uses his senses and looked around but nothing.

"I might be losing it," Shikari Gakure said as he looks up to the sky. Shikari Gakure vanishes and leaves, going towards the north.

The sun is about to rise.

Gakushin Gakure reached the underground facility. The Generals gathered inside and the heads. This time there all in the room. Gakushin Gakure is on the other side of the table and in front of him on the other table is the main head of the village.

"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower, right Gakushin Gakure?" The main head said.

"What's that supposed to mean in this room?" Gakushin Gakure said informal.

"I heard that Fudo Toka got attacked in her Medical room in the Medical Center? Isn't that right? Shimodo Rou! The only leader that can lead the village after the councilors of the village goes down," Gakushin Gakure said to the leader named Shimodo Rou.

"The circumstances have changed, and so the consequences about Fudo Toka, I heard that she has something in shes left hand that the heads no one knows about even the peoples around him," Shimodo Rou said as he lit up his cigarette.

"That power that she just achieved, the one who destroyed a nation a hundred decades ago, that man who tried to kill her is from that nation... It's a good thing that one of the soldiers from that village said this to us," Shimodo Rou said in a statement.

"The peaceful nation in the northwest... The stories, legends, myths... Are now just bust, the councilors are no longer here Rou! We should start a new world," Gakushin Gakure said as he tap the table so loudly.

"That nation once has the most important connection to our village, but now it got destroyed but an unknown uncontrollable power until it got to the north and destroyed everything and even itself," Shimodo Rou said furiously to Gakushin Gakure.

"Shikari Gakure let it slide," Gakushin Gakure said to Shimodo Rou. "What!?" Shimodo Rou said shockingly as the others talk too loudly.

"This is outrageous! I'm not letting another one of those in my village! That power holds the same faith! Now leave and get her out of this village or I will order some of the Finest swordsmans and powerful swordsmans to kill Fudo Toka!" Shimodo Rou said furiously.

"A tragedy happened a long time ago, were not letting it happen on the same date, the Æ1089 12,3," one of the heads of the village said in the right.

Gakushin Gakure leaves the room immediately. The others talk silently after Gakushin Gakure stands up and leaves.

"Why did you do that?! You know Gakushin Gakure and Shikari Gakure is the only two people that can handle that power," one of the Generals said.

"You don't know what power it brings inside a village... Those two are not even enough to defeat an uncontrolled power, it's beyond your imagination," Shimodo Rou said as he stands up and turns around. He creates special magic behind him with his hands. He put up his hand and a circle and a box is forming and circling.

He put it in the middle of the table and a prehistoric picture begins. "I call this a holographic special magic... I will show you what my older once seems to see back in the day where we are still not yet born," Shimodo Rou said as he moves his left-hand aside.

"This is where that uncontrolled power ends. A tragedy that they couldn't stop for decades and one day it never showed up," Shimodo Rou said as he feared and closed his eyes, and nodded.

The magic that he put on the table is showing an image of how it starts. "It starts with a little boy, who was the son of their councilor... One day they got attacked, the soldiers of this village who I believe used guns to protect their own home, their technology has come a long way and I believe they have lasted longer than our village. Their civilization is far more than our technology, which used science to develop more of their knowledge and build some unbelievable things that we've never seen before... In one night it all happened, a Dark Shira Swordsman who I believe the one that put in his uncontrollable power inside the boy... Guns didn't save them, the councilor got killed by his son's hands and after that, the village got destroyed a massacre happened and no one tries to see themselves what happened... The swordsmans once go there, Shikari Gakure's master and Kuro comes into the place with the army but only two of them came back alive in the Basilaska village," Shimodo Rou said as he closed his eyes and feared the day those things would happen.

Everyone is quiet, the magic shows everything and it can never be a lie. Shimodo Rou set aside his hand but it goes right this time and the magic close itself.

"Shimodo... We know little about what happened to the other villages but we will provide that it will never happen again until we're standing for the next generation," one of the generals said in the room.

The others are perceived as what happened. The main heads seem to have a lot of experience. "Well seems to me it's working well, about the new continent... She could find a place somewhere in that continent and live a happy life or try controlling it and defending this village, the Dark mobs are trying to achieve controlling our whole world using the Dark magic we couldn't let them have it!" One of the Generals said.

"About the Dark mobs and the Shira's an unknown clan seems to be accompanied with these mobs and allying," one of the heads said.

"That would be a great problem... A lot is still unknown, we know nothing about these clans for two hundred years, there's somewhere out there that we just need to find," one of the generals said.

"We need to find out more about these clans, I deploy Senn and Leo to find another of these clans and hope to ally with us," Shimodo Rou said.

The main heads, the other heads, and the Generals and the Sergeants continued to talk. They continue to talk as new papers come into the room. A swordsmens give them one by one a single piece of paper with special information on it.

"I heard from Sir Shikari Gakure that he met 2 travelers from now... But he ignored them and this traveler disappears whenever he approached them sorry to interrupt," one of the soldiers walks into the room shy. Everyone looks at him.

"Shikari Gakure is possibly the one they will investigate off because of his master... Same as the other travelers who travel in the north, west, east, and south along back a decades ago," Shimodo Rou said to everyone in the room.

"The one and only master of Shikari Gakure... I believe Kuro is might alive and I hope the five Greats come back all alive," one of the Generals said.

"They've come from our nation they will make it out there alive, I'm looking for a professor in that castle and I hope that he's still alive," Shimodo Rou said.

Everyone is curious about the professor. "About the professor did you know that one of the writers of the village released a book that says, professor Heimendinger," one of the soldiers said.

"It's a fantasy book... Inside the book is full of imaginary inventions and full of science," the soldier said as one of the Generals interrupted him.

"You're done here soldier, your information that has been given to us by Shikari Gakure is enough, about the Heimendinger is not real it's just an imagination, now leave before I get your ass and throw it outside," the general said.

The soldier tried to speak but the General looked at him. "General, deploy some of the swordsmans outside the village and look for those travelers Shikari Gakure might be in the north, Soldier Æ hasn't been back so we just need to do is wait," Shimodo Rou said.

The 5 greats are in a big hallway walking towards the throne of the King. Everywhere they look there's a lot of body armor, blood, and a broken foundation of some of the castle.

"It's unimaginable that this king castle is still standing after all these years... We barely encounter some of the Dark mobs where gonna go looking for the king's crown and the unknown man that you said that here," Agatsuma hit said as they continue to walk.

A Dark mob appeared holding a sword. It was easy to go towards Katrina but they continued to walk, the Dark mob suddenly split as Katrina was just holding her sword on the left. The Dark mob vanished and turned into dust.

They reached the king's crown before the king goes to fight he leaves the crown on his throne who protected by his last 5 knights.

"The knights died horribly but there enough to get an honor in the heaven," Agatsuma Hit said as he picks up the king's crown.

"We retrieve the king's crown now let's get out of here," Agatsuma Hit said as they run and suddenly stop because of a banging noise under the king's throne.

"That's what I'm sensing someone is under there," Stuyuri Shi said as he walks back and opened the locked trapdoor.

"Hello, is there someone there hello?" An unknown voice. They quickly opened it up because of the humanly sound voice. They quickly guard Stuyuri Shi left and right.

As he opens small little hands a little man appeared. "It's been a long time gentlemen the king is probably eating his..." The little man looked around him and sees that everything is destroyed. He sees 3 men and 2 women in front of him as one of them swings their sword and kills someone.

"This is Ridiculous how can you kill a person!" The little man said. They looked at him seeing that he's been stuck under there for ages.

"These are called the Dark mobs you're lucky enough to not meet a Dark Shira if you meet you're probably dead," Agatsuma Hit said as he turns around to the little man.

"What happened here! Where's the King?!" The little man said furiously.

"The king is dead!" He said. The little man is surprisingly really surprised as he sits down on the floor. But he quickly stands up furiously.

"I will know what happened here! I'm a professor's counselor... My name is Professor councilor Dinger," Dinger said as he walks away towards the front door that closed. He pushed the door and sees that it was completely locked. "How did you even get in here?" Professor Dinger said as he turns around and point to one of the greats that there's a wall that had been broken down.

The professor looks and sees that the wall is completely broken for a long time, he slowly walks to a balcony. He's on the ground looking at the far distance of the castle that it destroyed. He sees a lot of blood splattered everywhere he looked. "What tragedy happened here, I've been... Sleeping for almost what?" Professor Dinger said as he sits down on the floor as he fears of what he looked around him.

"Your sleeping? Since when professor? The councilors of whatever this is are no longer here!" Agatsuma Hit said as he walks slowly towards him. "The castle in the Date of Æ1137 3, 11," Katrina said in the far distance as she looks around the castle and where he came from.

"Well, I've been sleeping for almost two hundred years, since the second appears to be his son in the Date Æ1137 3, 11..." Professor Dinger said as he stands up and look at the sky. The 5 Great looks around and sees a fog coming into the room. Agatsuma Hit looks around and sees the fog everywhere.

"I'm alive before the Date of Æ's happened, I wake up the date of the first king before Æ Dark magic and a Dark legend myth attack but he didn't win against the king but the city is destroyed that turned into a village into a castle..." Professor Dinger said as he stands up full of disgrace.

"We need to get out of here professor. We're heading back to the east," Stuyuri Shi said as they all run out. Agatsuma Hit carries the little man and puts it in his right shoulder.

The little man looked around them as they all 5 jumped high up in the air. "The castle has lost," Professor Dinger said as he hold the hands of Agatsuma Hit and lower his head down.

They've reached the exit in one jump down. As they jump Dinger sees the king's armor and turns around a little bit. They manage to get out of the castle in time. They stop outside the castle hiding in a big wooded tree. They see in the castle that a lot of powerful Dark mobs have returned.

"I'm sensing a different species of Dark mobs we need to head out Agatsuma Hit we need to bring the professor back to the village for his safety," Stuyuri Shi said as they all vanished. Red-eye in the top of the castle who believe wearing a hood. The red-eye vanished as the Dark mobs run-up to the castle and searched for their trail.

A loud bang noise can be heard in the far distance as they traveled. "The castle has fallen apart killing you say Dark mobs itself," Professor Dinger said as he lower his head down. There ran faster than they were before because the area is getting surrounded by Dark mobs and the fog is getting thinner and thinner.

As they run fast they sense something in their back that made them stop. Smoke was coming very fast, they cover Dinger so he wouldn't be smoked too hard.

"This smoke probably comes from the castle let's get out of here before the Dark mobs sense us and made us lose each other," Agatsuma Hit said as they continued and walk slowly.

Shikari Gakure reaches the northeast. He's standing on top of a big wooded tree. Bigger than other trees. He senses 5 people on his far left but he ignored them. He watches from the top that the fog is getting thinner and thinner.

Shikari Gakure ignored and thinks that they will be fine as he jumps off the tree and continued going towards the north.

"Dark mobs?!" Shikari Gakure said as he pulled out his sword and swing his sword cutting some of the trees in front of him. The big trees flew up and the Dark mobs shows up and cut the Dark mobs and turn into dust.

He continued. As he continued he's sensing a lot of Dark mobs in his way. He slowly changes his route going to the far northeast going to the north.

The sun is about to rise. "Where's Fudo Toka and Gakushin Gakure?" Shimodo Rou said to one of the soldiers inside the underground facility. "They're still in the medical center but not the headquarters... Gakushin Gakure said that they're leaving in the dawn," the soldier said.

"The Dawn? Should she leave by now Shimodo Rou? What if she's power started going off by now?" One of the Generals said furiously. "Enough General! Control your thoughts," Shimodo Rou said as he makes a general calm down for a little bit.

"Gakushin Gakure is still himself... He's probably doing some kind of binding inside of her so she can control the power that hadn't been in control," Shimodo Rou said as he lit his cigarette.

Gakushin Gakure is in the room of Fudo Toka sitting in a chair next to him waiting for her to wake up. A nurse knocks on the door and comes in. He sees Gakushin Gakure but he quickly goes to Fudo Toka. The nurse goes to see Fudo Toka left hand and sees that there's a pink crack on she's left-hand.

The nurse touches it slowly. As she touches it Gakushin Gakure stands up to look at it. "She's not gonna die... She just needs serious medical attention every hour to make her heart stable," the nurse said as she lifts Fudo Toka's hands smoothly up.

"We're gonna leave in the dawn, the heads of the village said to leave and go to the other continent because of that power she's currently holding," Gakushin Gakure said to the nurse as he fixes Fudo Toka pillow.

"She would be alright, I believe in her that she can control the power that she's holding," the nurse said as she smiles at Gakushin Gakure.

Leo and Senn get off in their horses somewhere in a desert place to a side of a small house. They walked inside. "Oh hello, Chloe it's been a long time," Leo said as he walks inside and sees Chloe fixing up something. "Oh hello Leo it's been a long time really," Chloe said as she turns around. Both Chloe and Leo laughs as they talked.

Senn sits down in a chair on the other side of the room. They both talk as Senn heard them talk about something gets concerned. "What are you guys talking about?" Senn said as he approached them both.

"A prime power that can only be used by us and exist in our body, the heads of the village didn't know we are part of a special clan," Leo said as he lower his head down.

"How long have you been hiding this from me?" Senn said as he walks back and sits down on the floor. Leo gives a hand to Senn and he grabs it and stands up.

"Don't worry Senn where still in the wall of people who we can trust in the east, we're here to protect them," Leo said as Senn comes back towards where he sat.

As they talked an unknown number of undead rise in the far distance from where the house is. Thousands of undead are marching towards them with the monster and Dark mobs. Leo and Chloe are not sensing them because they're still not far enough. A mountain is covering the path of Dark mobs, the undead, and the monster.

A Dark presence is glowing leading the charge of the undead and the others in the front. As they continued to come closer both Leo and Chloe continue to talk until Chloe goes to his chest and give Leo a glowing cube and hand over to him.

A blue cube is glowing and on the inside is something unbelievable moving. The cube has no color in it but Chloe is holding gloves. Leo touches it and color began to spread in the cube.
