The Dark Lightning

Silent Fox sat Hazuki down on a chair and helped him calm down. She seemed worried about Hazuki as she's never seen anyone break down so badly.

"I'll kill her...I will avenge my mother! Get off me Fox!" Hazuki yelled and pushed Silent Fox away.

Silent Fox used Nicholas's Emblem to place a barrier around Hazuki. "I can't let you go out there and fight a Ruler! We should face the facts right now that we have lost...but we may still have a chance at this war. I just need you to calm down. I can't lose you as well. You're the one member who actually can become a Ruler or Overlord as well. If we go through with what I have planned...we will win."

Hazuki looked at Silent Fox and noticed her gentle smile. She really cared about him and he noticed it. He calmed down then closed his eyes. "What about mother..? We've got to avenge her."

"Don't worry. We will avenge her. Yusa's actions will not go unpunished." Silent Fox said then crossed her arms. She made the barrier disappear and looked at Hazuki. "Now let's get ready to go."

"Go where?" Hazuki asked.

"St. Fraskia." She answered.

I sat in Orika's room, on her bed and looked at the news on my phone with her. "St. Fraskia is being left unprotected...even with Saito's help...the defense is still down. Hopefully Silent Fox doesn't get any wise ideas to attack the campus.."

"From what I heard from Yae's conversation from earlier, Yonaka said that everyone had already evacuated...but I don't know. St. Fraskia is the perfect place for HQ for anyone." Orika said then noticed me turn my phone off and lay back on her bed with my arm over my eyes.

"Hopefully mom made the right choice. Based off what we read, she forced Judgement Order to retreat and stop their attack. She's a Ruler now...unstoppable. You know...Everyone who possesses a Ruler's or Overlord's Special Weapon has the chance to become a Ruler or Overlord. Orishi and Liao Ru can become a Ruler...I can become a Ruler, but...I am not ready for such a responsibility." I said and felt her lay down on the bed.

Orika looked at me and held my hand then held it up to her cheek. I looked at her then smile and scooted closer to her then kissed her lips. She kissed back then closed her eyes. I closed my eyes and used my other hand to rub her leg gently. We kissed for two minutes before breaking the kiss and opening our eyes.

"I don't ever want to lose you...I want you to stay forever. I've been working so hard to become a better fighter and I feel like my fear has gone away. I can do more to protect you..and hopefully the rest of the world." Orika smiled.

"I don't want to lose you either. I promise I'll stay forever...I won't let any harm come to you." I smiled then kissed her forehead.

Orika blushed slightly then closed her eyes, smiling. "I know you won't.."

Silent Fox and Hazuki traversed in their battleship in hyper speeds to St. Fraskia. Hazuki looked out the window and crossed his arms. After 25 minutes of flying, their ship landed in St. Fraskia. They got out of their ship and noticed the defensive barriers..

"Same old St. Fraskia. Since no one is here anymore...there isn't anyone to stop us from entering the academy and finding out their secrets." Silent Fox said then walked forward.

Hazuki followed behind and looked around. "So this is the famous St. Fraskia. Looks like an entire city here. Amazing on the type of money you need to maintain this."

"It's all been paid for by the few owners before Yusa. Pretty convenient for her..." Silent Fox said then walked up to the academy then placed her hand against the barrier and sent a pulse of energy on the barrier, causing it to shatter and sound off the alarms. "Let's go inside."

The two walked inside of the academy and Silent Fox immediately went toward Yusa's office since that's where most of the secrets lie. She walked inside of the office then turned on the lights and walked forward. She noticed a note and a weapon on the desk.

"Dear, Valkyrias. I won't be in St. Fraskia anymore as it has become increasingly dangerous for us. If you're reading this letter, that means you've already come back from Tatemaki and ready to fight against Silent Fox. If she hasn't attacked St. Fraskia by now either I stopped her or she has something bigger planned. Good luck my ladies. We shall soon meet again on the battlefield." Silent Fox read the note aloud.

"Tatemaki. That's where they are currently based on the letter. If we were smart...we would strike them now before they finish their training...maybe even kidnap Hisumi while we are there." Hazuki said.

"And this is why you're the strategist." Silent Fox said then picked up the weapon then gave it to Hazuki. "A powerful blade forged with lightning. Might come in handy."

Hazuki took it and nodded then they both left the area. They made their way back to their battleship and prepared to fly off to Tatemaki.

The next day, I woke up on Orika's bed and blinked a few times before sitting up and noticing she was watching TV. She looked back at me and smiled.

"Good morning~" Orika said then crawled over to me.

"Good...morning.." I smiled back at her.

She kissed my cheek and I blushed. She pulled away and sat back on her knees. "So..are we in a relationship now? Like...I don't mind sharing with Yae and Saito.."

I smiled and held her hand then nodded. "We might as well make it official. I-" I paused and felt dark aura flash from my eyes.

Orika looked confused and wondered what was wrong then she heard a battleship above our location.

Ambrosia burst in Orika's room. "Ladies! We've got a huge problem!"

We looked at Ambrosia and rushed out the room, following Ambrosia outside the dormitory.

Everyone watched the battleship land and the doors opened. Silent Fox and Hazuki walked out of the battleship. Orishi and Liao Ru glared at them.

Silent Fox smirked and looked at Orishi and Liao Ru. "Well well...This is a Grand Reunion! If only we had Nicholas and Ieyasu here...Oh wait. We do!" Silent Fox laughed and summoned their Emblems on her hands.

"Shina! This is far enough! You said you'd give us a month to train! You've never back down from your word." Orishi said.

"You know me well sister, but I would have given you that entire month to train...if the Valkyrias hadn't come and attacked us and killed Hikaru and Drako." Silent Fox said then summoned her gauntlets then equipped them. "We decided to do the same...and capture Hisumi because her power is greater than others may realize."

"You aren't touching her!" Orika said then stood in front of me.

Hazuki looked at Orika then smirked. "And you believe you can stop us? Clueless little girl doesn't know what she's about to get herself into. If you all wish to live...just surrender because we are only here for Hisumi."

"Yeah as if." Lianne said then held her hand out, summoning her dagger. "Listen Shina and fake Hisumi. You aren't leaving this place alive. If I were you I'd surrender now...before things get ugly.."

Silent Fox laughed then looked serious. "Oh...this is going to be fun.."

I pushed Orika aside gently then summoned my sword. "You want me..? Then you will have to forcefully take me. I will not return to Judgement. I refuse!"

Yumi watched me and hurried to my aid then summoned her bow. "You won't be taking her back without taking me as well. I'm a sharpshooter...I never miss my targets."

Hazuki looked at me and Yumi then his dark energy surrounded his body. "Let's get this show started then." He dashed towards me.

I dashed towards him and our blades clashed. I pushed him back and used a burst of speed to appear behind him then slashed through him and a flurry of slashes hit him. He grunted and stumbled backwards.

"Your Iaijutsu is much better than mother's...I am impressed, but it's gonna take more than that to take me down!" Hazuki bellowed and dashed towards me once again.

I dashed to him and vanished then Hazuki looked surprised seeing the barrage of arrows headed his way.

Silent Fox summoned a barrier over Hazuki whilst dodging attacks from Lianne. She palmed Lianne's stomach, sending her crashing into the dormitory. She sensed Ryan's attack then dodged it.

Ryan stood up straight and took his cigar out of his mouth. "Well well...The Fox is as cunning as ever. Don't you get tired of pulling the same tricks?"

"If it ain't broke don't fix it." Silent Fox smirked and got in her stance.

"Mama...Papa.." Annie said worried then looked over at me. "Hisumi..."

I dodged attacks from Hazuki then felt my heart thumping hard then grunted. I stumbled then was hit by Hazuki's sword. He bellowed and sent me crashing into the house.

"Leave Hisumi alone!" Orika yelled then ran to Hazuki and summoned ice blades.

"Orika...stay out of this!" I said as I walked out of the house.

Hazuki looked at Orika then punched her stomach. Orika groaned and coughed. He gripped her neck and raised her off the ground. "Foolish...Your actions are simply foolish...I was going to let you live, but you wish to die a terrible death.."

"Let her go! It's me you want you bastard!" I yelled and ran toward Hazuki.

Hazuki tossed Orika in the air then shoved his sword through her body. Everyone looked surprised and Silent Fox smirked. Hazuki took his sword out of Orika's body and let her fall.

"O-Orika.." I dropped my sword and ran to her. I held her in my arms and she looked at me.

"Hisumi...I don't want to die yet...I don't want to see Grandma this early. I want to be with you.." Orika said weakly and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"You won't...you won't die.." I said then noticed Liao Ru walking to us then she picked Orika up from my arm.

"I can heal her..." She said then walked away from the battlefield.

I watched her walk off then heard Hazuki laughing. I looked at him and stood up. "What's so fucking funny..?"

"I wasn't aware that you two loved each other so much. She was lucky enough to even survive...I am just amazed at the things humans will do for one another." Hazuki smirked. "Maybe I should see how much the others care about you."

I glared and heard a voice in my head telling me to kill. "I won't let you hurt anyone else here! Never!" I yelled and my dark aura surged powerfully.

Silent Fox and Ryan stopped their battle and looked my direction. Hazuki looked a bit surprised and took a few steps backwards.

"I'll kill you! I WILL kill you! Do you hear me?! I'll kill you, Hazuki!" I yelled and my lightning began to turn into a corrupted blue color.

"This...is an Overlord's power.." Orishi said I'm shock.

I summoned the Overlord of Thunder's weapon. It was a staff that emitted incredibly dark aura. I looked at Hazuki and glared. "This will be your end...clone."
