Variska and Kuniatsu walked to the roof of the base and there stood Uchisugi at the top. He looked out in the distance and closed his eyes. Kuniatsu took out her dagger and dashed towards Uchisugi and sliced at his neck. Uchisugi opened his eyes and a barrier stopped Kuniatsu's attack.
"This universe...all the universes...filled with pain and misery. New Shattered Heaven's job is save people from misery from people like you." He said and kicked Kuniatsu away then held his hand out and a portal opened. "Amaterasu."
A huge holy fireball was fired at Kuniatsu. She glared and vanished then appeared above Uchisugi. He looked up and looked back down then saw a clone of Kuniatsu in front of him. He glared and his eyes glowed. Kuniatsu and her clone slashed at the same time. Uchisugi's golden eyes shined brightly and he bellowed as his aura blew both Kuniatsu and her clone away.
"I am Uchisugi Itsusuki! The Itsusuki Clan is unmatched! We surpass even the Kurenai Clan! You...you have no hope of beating me." Uchisugi said and got in a stance and grabbed the handle of his sword.
Variska got in a stance and glared at Uchisugi. After gauging his power, she knew where he stood. His power isn't normal...He was way stronger than what he let on. Variska had a sweat droplet roll down her cheek.
Meanwhile with me and Ibu, we walked towards a building. We looked up and saw Uchisugi standing at the top. I looked at Ibu.
"Go find somewhere to take cover. I'll come back to get you." I said.
"Okay." She nodded and hurried off somewhere.
I ran inside the building and ran towards the stairs. There was a loud boom and the building shook a bit. I held onto the rails then hurried up the stairs. I ran through the open door and saw Variska and Kuniatsu fighting Uchisugi.
"Huh?" Uchisugi jumped back after seeing me.
Variska and Kuniatsu looked back and saw me. Kuniatsu's eyes widened. Seeing me filled her with joy, but she kept her composure.
"Why are you here Yae?! You should be resting!" Variska scolded.
"New Shattered Heaven attacked my home. I saw him up here and had a feeling he's the one who sent that man to kill me." I said and glared at Uchisugi.
"Well your instincts are correct. I am the one who sent that man to kill you and it seems that he failed. Now that you are here, I can deal with you myself!" Uchisugi dashed towards me.
Kuniatsu stood in front of me and blocked the slash from Uchisugi. She grunted as her mask broke in half. I looked at Uchisugi and my eyes widened. She slid back and looked up then her hair slowly turned white and black.
"Yui?" I said quietly.
"Yu-chan..." Yui looked at me and smiled. "It's been five years...I never stopped believing you were alive when everyone else gave up hope. Me and Sephora have been searching the realms for you."
"How sweet...such a wholesome reunion about to be ruined by Yufumi's death!" Uchisugi dashed towards me and slashed down.
I looked at him and dodged his slash and kicked him away. He slid back and grunted then he looked up as I was above him. Ibu looked up and saw me. Her eyes sparkled as she admired me. I slashed down and clashed blades with Uchisugi. He was blown away off the roof. Wings emerged from his back and he flew up. Angel and demon wings emerged from my back then I flew towards him.
"Come at me however you like...Your power will never be enough to defeat me!" Uchisugi taunted.
I flew towards him and he flew to me and we clashed. A repulsive force of energy caused a shockwave around the area. Yui and Variska stuck their weapons onto the roof and stood their ground against the high winds. I bellowed and my aura sparkled. He smirked and his aura sparkled as well.
"All this power will awaken my father...He is way stronger than I'll ever be and he keeps getting stronger! Nothing will stop him!" Uchisugi laughed and looked shocked.
Variska spiked him down with a swing of her lance. He crashed to the ground on one knee then looked to his right and saw Yui beside him. She punched him away and vanished. Ibu watched the battle and her smile grew wider and brighter. Seeing us battle motivated her more and more. I appeared behind Uchisugi and kicked him forward then Variska drop kicked him then Yui appeared above him and punched his stomach. A burst of wind blew and he crashed through the ground. I followed him and he flapped his wings then looked at me. I bellowed and slashed down.
"Tch...I've already grown annoyed of you pests!" Uchisugi bellowed and his aura pushed me away. He landed on the ground then I landed in front of him.
"I will destroy you!" I bellowed and my zodiac signs began glowing brightly. I transformed into my Heroine of Origin Form then I growled and my hair flashed white.
"What is she doing?" Yui asked.
"She's going beyond her Heroine of Origin Form...She's obtaining Divine Aura to go beyond." Variska said.
Uchisugi looked at me in awe then felt the ground shaking. He looked around and the cave ceiling began crumbling. I closed my eyes then bellowed and my aura surged powerfully. I let out a roar and my hair turned purely white then I opened my eyes as I entered my Pure Form.
"What is this power...I can't even sense her aura anymore.." Uchisugi said looking at me.
"That's Yu-chan..?" Yui asked.
"Yes...That is Yufumi. She hasn't mastered her Pure Form yet, but when she does...she will be unstoppable." Variska said.
Ibu walked towards the two women and saw a bright light in the huge hole in the ground. She looked inside and the light nearly blinded her. She squeaked then Yui and Variska looked at her.
"T-Too bright!" Ibu fell back and rubbed her eyes.
"Who is this?" Yui asked.
"This is Ibu. Her and Yufumi share a close bond. She sees Yufumi as her older sister which technically Yufumi is. She was...I guess adopted by Master Yayoi." Variska said.
"Wait THE Master Yayoi?! She's here?!" Yui asked.
"Man you are full of questions...but yes she is here. This is the realm all outcasts are banished to. The only way out is to be transported out by the Overseer of this Realm. Even Yufumi has to abide by the rules of this Realm. No magic works on the protective barrier. That's how powerful the Overseer is." Variska said.
Yui nodded and looked back in the hole. She looked at me for a bit as I looked at my hands. My aura slowly disappeared and I looked at Uchisugi as he chuckled.
"You're quite something...achieving Pure Form is no normal feat. I must say I am quite surprised. Dare I say I'm outmatched. But that doesn't mean I won't test my luck against you. Hope you're prepared for anything." Uchisugi smirked.
I didn't say anything. I looked at him then my aura surged again then sparkled a lot. He got in a stance and I did as well. My Battle against Uchisugi starts now.
