Chapter 18: The Dark Shira's and the Death of the Armies of the West

Date: Æ1289 18, 3

The sun was about to set, they were standing outside the gate. The Shira's are waiting for more other Shira's of the village before going to attack.

"I'm a former Shira Swordsmen, aloud me to introduce myself, my name is Teramoto Judikishi," the Shira swordsmen speak from a low speech.

He slowly walks towards the Dark Shira swordsmen with another red aura swordsmen with the monster on there's side.

"I'm a swordsman from the west, I'm a friend of Shikari Gakure in the east, my name is Rikezi," he said as he drew his sword.

The Dark Shira Swordsmens started charging to them slowly. The red aura swordsmen deploy some undeads and Dark mobs as they slowly come towards.

A lot of Undeads rise from the bottom to the top in the floors hundreds of them. The Dark mobs comes from behind the gigantic monster and started charging at them.

Suddenly there's a large explosion occurred behind the Dark Shira swordsmen and the Gigantic monster. The gigantic monster fall down and accidentally threw the weapon meters away.

The Red aura swordsmen and the Dark Shira swordsmen look to their back and see there's unknown white aura standing and one of them is holding a big hammer.

As they looked at them there was a girl who is leading the charge in front. They're still standing in a far distance with big trees around and a broken floor.

The girl is holding a scythe in her back with a chain on it. More undead rises as the red aura swordsmen go down to the ground and use magic on the ground that summons more undeads.

"Looks we've got allied, and they're corner, I'm going towards the people they're fighting on the back to warn them," Rikezi said as he flew towards the Dark Shira Swordsmen and to the Gigantic monster.

The gigantic monster is slowly standing up and picking its weapon back. As they do that they didn't see Shira's are already in front of them.

The gigantic monster in the front got quickly cut by 3 Shira Swordsmen that flew and landed a massive swing of the sword.

After taking down one of the giant monsters they charge right onto the Dark Shira and make him fall to the ground.

The Dark Shira nodded at the red aura swordsmen. The Shira attack his left and right. They exchange swords.

They quickly fight one on one, the Shira swings his sword to the Dark Shira heavily making him fly away as another Shira comes in swooping and cutting the Dark Shira swordsmen into a half and turning into dust dead.

The Gigantic monster vanishes. The Shira's look at the Red aura swordsmen on the top of the tree sideways. They charge at the red aura swordsmen as they charge up he vanishes and suddenly he's on the ground.

They quickly come to fall with their swords drawn. 3 more Shira's come in with normal speed and swinging their swords not full out.

The red aura swordsmen are dodging their attacks left and right as the other swordsman comes in faster in the blink of an eye. The red aura swordsmen once again vanish. He's on top of them.

The Shira's suddenly teleported more above him stabbing him back by the swords of the Shira's.

He landed on the ground stabbed dead and turn into red dust. More soldiers come in to help but they're already done.

They looked at the far distance. Seeing a broken ground in the far distance. They see nothing. All they know is that someone has been there.

"Someone has been there but who?" Rikezi said as he falls smoothly to the ground with more other Shira swordsmen grouping up in one place.

"We should go back and clear out the battlefield Let's wait for the barrier rebuilder, the gate will get repaired by the heads of the west," one of the Shira swordsmen said as one by one of them pulled back their swords.

Some of Shira's go back to the village and the other Shira swordsmans goes to look everywhere to see if the area is clear. A lot of big trees have fallen a clear path has been made and the battlefield is destroyed and wrecked by the Gigantic monster.

Rikezi walks back to the west village heads to report. Some of the swordsmans inside are just clearing up the battlefield and killing the last few Dark mobs.

Inside the heads, West. "Sir!" A soldier said comes in running and stopped. "The battle is done, The Shira's won and the village are clear, some of the Shira's are outside the village patrolling, Sir!" the soldier said.

"Soldier, say this to the remaining generals that are still in there, guard the gate, and make sure no one enters except for the east and south people or swordsmens, do you understand?" The heads of the village said as they asked the soldier.

"Yes, Sir! I understand!" The soldier answered. "You can leave." The soldier quickly leaves the room and goes to the Generals.

In the east. Shikari Gakure, Senn, and Leo are walking in the middle of the forest. "It's already night, are we there yet?" Senn asked.

"It will just take a few minutes, we will reach his house and use the teleportation to get to the northwest," Shikari Gakure answered as he looks at Leo.

They see a light in the far distance. They quickly walk. They reached the house and sees a man sitting on their chair.

"It's been a long time, Monoke Gakure," Shikari Gakure said as Monoke Gakure turns around and sees Shikari Gakure.

"What brings you here? And why an Ardoni species would come here with you, I told you this is a hidden place, and remember that I'm still a swordsman, Former Shira Swordsman of the east and south," Monoke Gakure said as he looks at Shikari Gakure menacingly.

"I'm here to say that you will come with me, were going to the far northeast, this is Senn and Leo they're the ones that will go to the northeast," Shikari Gakure said as he shows Leo and Senn behind him.

"And why would a young one come with us, and what I will get when I come with you? Glitch!" Monoke Gakure said as he stand up and look at Shikari Gakure's eye to eye.

"There's a possibility of destroying the west," Shikari Gakure said as he stopped and sees a messenger bird coming towards him.

Shikari Gakure gives a hand to the bird and landed on his hand. He gets the bird message. After he got the scroll on the bird's back the bird fly away.

Shikari Gakure opened the scroll and read it. "I think this is enough reason for you to come with us," Shikari Gakure said as he gives the scroll to Monoke Gakure.

Monoke Gakure read the inside of the scroll and seems surprised. In the ocean. Gakushin Gakure is standing on the side of the ship looking at the ocean in the middle of the night.

Suddenly there Ship goes a little up and goes down a little bit. Gakushin Gakure quickly goes more to the side of the ship to see what lifts them a bit.

The captain is approaching Gakushin Gakure. The captain tapped him on the shoulder.

He turns and sees the captain tapped him. They both looked at the water. They see a whale. "A Whale, he's lifting us but why is he up here," the captain said as he goes to the front of the ship.

He goes to the inside of the control room to change the course of the ship. Suddenly something is bubbling in the water where Gakushin Gakure is in place.

Suddenly there are special swordsmens who come in the water and fly up in the water and fly towards Gakushin Gakure when they see him.

Gakushin Gakure drew his sword swing it and defend himself again the 3 of the special swordsmens.

They started charging at him and attacked him. He defends using his sword swinging and attacking left and right.

The 3 swordsmans surround Gakushin Gakure and they all attack once. Gakushin Gakure step in his left foot and give a massive impact and made them flew backward.

The ship goes a little bit to the left when Gakushin Gakure gives a massive impact on the part of the ship to defend himself.

The 3 swordsmans let go of their swords as they lay down on the floor because of the impact. They quickly stand up but more swordsmans are coming. 5 more swordsmans aboard in the ship.

Fudo Toka is hearing some noises outside the Ship. She hears a sword swing and an immediate blow on the boat.

She quickly wakes up and she gets her sword that is on the floor. She grabbed it and sees in front of him a masked guy with a special suit on.

"Hey, there a little cutie," the masked guy said as he reaches his hands towards her face. She quickly punches the guy in the face. Other swordsmans quickly comes in to kill her but she quickly dodges and reflexes in the small spaces.

Outside the ship. Gakushin Gakure is now fighting with a sword while he was able to fly the other swordsmen back into the water, he broke the sword of one of the swordsmen and it sat down.

The swordsmen around saw how strong he was but they didn't know, one of them signaled to come back, one of them was beaten and everyone went back to the water, Gakushin Gakure immediately ran towards the man he whistled and swung his sword normally and he was able to dodge it, the whistle hurried to get back into the water.

Inside the ship, Fudo Toka found a rope hanging on the other side of his bed, she took it and tied the three swordsmen she was able to beat too much.

She put the 3 guys in the middle as she holds her sword in her right hand. Gakushin Gakure quickly goes down to the Ship where is Fudo Toka.

Fudo Toka heard the footsteps of the man on the stairs to her left, she felt that it was on her side so she pointed it at her left

"Chill it's me!" Gakushin Gakure said as he puts his hands up. "I got these guys tied up, I'll throw them in the water after I finish questioning them, go to the captain," Fudo Toka said as she pointed her sword towards the 3 guys.

"Who are you people, or I should say thieves in the sea? What are you people wearing?" Fudo Toka asked them.

Gakushin Gakure quickly leaves and goes towards Karl in the captain's dens in the front of the ship.

He quickly runs towards Karl. He reached the door, he opened it and sees no one. He searched everywhere and sees something moving to his left as he goes in.

"Karl?!" Gakushin Gakure said as he shouts. "Gakushin Gakure? I'm here, I hide," Karl answered as he goes where he was hiding. Karl is hiding in one of the backs of the machines of the ship.

"Good thing you're safe Karl," Gakushin Gakure said as he calms down. "Yeah, I'm safe, you're here I don't even worry about this ship... so who are those people?" Karl asked as he walks towards him.

"I don't know but is the ship on the right path?" Gakushin Gakure answered and asked. "Yes indeed I watched 5 men go in holding a black sword and one of them is holding a Dark black blade," Karl answered.

Gakushin Gakure nodded and leave the captain's dens. "Knock five times, so that I know it's you I'm locking the door," Karl said as he walks towards the door and locked it.

Gakushin Gakure goes towards the inside of the Ship to see Fudo Toka. He goes down the stairs and sees Fudo Toka tightening the rope that she tied to them.

"They're not speaking, I should remove their masks and throw them in the water," Fudo Toka said as she reaches their masked and suddenly she's hand shocked. A purple power becomes visible on her left hand and it cracks.

"Ah! Tsk..!!" Fudo Toka said as she grumbles in pain as she tries to control her power. Gakushin Gakure quickly comes towards Fudo Toka and healed her left hand immediately.

Fudo Toka loses consciousness and falls to the ground. Her power suddenly disappears and goes back to normal.

In the northeast. Shikari Gakure Leo Senn and Monoke Gakure are running towards a destroyed shrine.

"The Quantum Teleport must be here, there I see something glowing come with me," Monoke Gakure said as he runs towards a house that is glowing.

They all 4 go in and see a mark of teleportation on the ground. "This means it can be used anytime, let's go! Ready your swords," Monoke Gakure said as he drew his sword.

Shikari Gakure, Leo, and Senn drew their swords, and Leo and Senn pulled out their swords from their backs.

Leo and Senn nodded at them as Monoke Gakure activates the Teleportation. The magic activated and light starts coming through as they got teleported in the middle of the air.

They looked to the ground and sees a lot of Dark mobs, undeads, and Gigantic monsters marching towards the west. Shikari Gakure quickly flew to the ground in a blink of an eye and cut the undeads on the ground to clear an area for them.

"Hmm.! I guess we're quite a predicament here," Leo said as he looks around and sees a lot of Dark mobs and undeads.

"The Gigantic monster seems to doesn't notice us yet," Senn said as he looks at the Gigantic monster in front of them in the far distance walking towards the east.

Suddenly the Gigantic monster turns around and sees them. The monster shouts at them and charges right at them.

"This is always what happened when we bring a young man to a battle," Monoke Gakure said as teleported towards the Gigantic monster who is charging towards them.

He cuts the hands of the Gigantic monster causing it to not use weapons. "There just three-story house tall, they're not kind of a big deal, Shikari Gakure clear out the place with that technique," Monoke Gakure said as he cuts the head of the Gigantic monster.

Leo sees a lot of Dark mobs using a bow and a wand of magic in the distance. The Dark mobs fire their weapons towards Leo and Senn. Shikari Gakure flew up by jumping in the ground towards the sky.

Leo activates his blue prime cube turning it into a circle with Senn. There inside the circle color blue.

"Leo what is this," Senn asked as they were inside the blue circle. "This is the prime cube power, don't leave this will protect us," Leo said as he points his sword in a defensive position as he activates more power to the prime cube.

The arrows of the Dark mobs that were aimed at Leo's shield did not go through, the arrows bounced off.

Suddenly Shikari Gakure falls in front of Leo and suddenly in a lightning speed, Shikari Gakure kills the Dark mobs with one blow.

Hundreds more Dark mobs come in Charging towards them. "Now Senn!" Leo said as he removes the barrier and charged at the Dark mobs. Senn charges towards the Dark mobs.

Senn immediately swings his sword, but Senn didn't see that a Dark mob is suddenly on his back. The Dark mobs are ready to stab Senn but Monoke Gakure quickly comes in and decapitated the Dark mob head-turning it to dust.

Leo fights on his own and manages to kill 5 Dark mobs on his own as more of the Dark mob's charge.

Shikari Gakure circled his sword and flew towards the Dark mobs cutting them all out and dead in one area.

"I'm getting old, I'll make sure I'll teach everything to Senn before I lose my back," Leo said as he catches his breath.

"You're already tired, Leo?" Senn asked. "He uses the prime cube, that's why he catching his breath," Monoke Gakure said as he lend a hand to Leo.

"The path is clear, the other Gigantic monster doesn't seem to notice us but that's a lot more," Shikari Gakure said as he put back his sword.

"If we weren't here you two could be dead," Monoke Gakure said. "Yeah, we should get going now so we can go home pretty quick," Leo said as he pulled back his sword to his back. Senn did the same.

They talked for a moment as Monoke Gakure sees something in the far distance. Monoke Gakure passes Leo and Senn when they see dead people and broken swords and blood splattered in the far distance.

"They said that an army is with Himura Kiri, but when they came back only four of them, his with three other assassins heavily wounded either, and this is probably the army, I also believe that we're near the exiled clan," Shikari Gakure said as he taps Monoke Gakure.

Monoke Gakure nodded and walks towards another forest where is dead people around and blood splattered.

"Senn you should see this, I know you're young but you will encounter more of these," Leo said to Senn.

"Senn you should learn that everything you see in the world if it's great there's something in his back that carrying you've never seen before," Monoke Gakure said as Senn scratched his head. They continued to walk slowly.

Shikari Gakure pulled out his sword and Monoke Gakure. "Senn stay on my side, don't suddenly leave," Leo said as he pulled out his sword. Senn did the same as he stayed to the side of Leo.

"We should find the Chief to see if he's alive or dead," Monoke Gakure said. I'll try to find the Chief, Monoke stay with them make sure no one will lose and die," Shikari Gakure said as he runs towards a more Darker forest in the distance.

Monoke Gakure sees more dead bodies in the far distance, as he looks to the far distance he sees a soldier holding a sword decapitated.

"There's might be a powerful swordsman the come here and swoop them all," Senn said to Monoke Gakure.

"There's might be even more," Monoke Gakure said as he looks to the far distance a soldier is crushed by a large rock on seeing its hands with blood all over to the sides in the far distance.

"We should leave immediately as soon as Shikari Gakure came back if he will come back," Leo said as he sees Monoke Gakure turns around on him and nod.

As they continue to walk slowly, Monoke Gakure senses an unknown big aura on the back of Leo and Senn. He quickly goes behind and points his sword in a defensive position.

As he looks in front of him, he sees a Dark Red Aura gigantic monster, 5 story house tall. The gigantic monster suddenly stepped on them making them crush all 3.
