"How was the mission?" asked Sairon as his hologram projected through the stone.
"It was fine, a normal mission if I say so myself, ", replied Kiyoshi, confused by Sauron's sudden appearance and question.
"Are you sure? Then why did it take so long and what is that armor you have?' asked Sairon, who was still drilling Kiyoshi with questions.
"I had to wait on the suit to be complete and I had on this armor to make me look like a phantom samurai, ", replied Kiyoshi. "But why thou did you need to make yourself look like a ghost?" asked Sairon in confusion.
"I thought if the soldiers of Xeng thought they were being attacked by a revengeful spirit of a samurai. Thus they won't come back in fear of the spirit, ", replied Kiyoshi. "So, did you use that technique?" Asked Sairon. "I had no choice needed to make the phantom samurai look believable," remarked Kiyoshi.
"You know, that technique takes a toll on you. Why would you use it?" Asked Sairon in displeasure." As I said, I had no choice master, but am fine, ", replied Kiyoshi reassuring his master of his well-being. "Ok, so you are sure the mission was normal and nothing of the norms happen", replied Sairon. "Yes, master everything was fine", replied Kiyoshi was getting annoyed by this point by all the questions. "Ok good, we have a new mission. I will send you the location later. For now, get some rest and take off that armor." Replied Sairon." understood master", replied Kiyoshi as Sairon left the channel.
"Don't you find it strange that he came at the exact moment you finished your mission? And he keeps asking if the mission was ok like if he knew something". Remarked Tyrook to Kiyoshi."It is strange, but I have no reason to question my master, the man who raised me". Replied Kiyoshi who got exasperated by Tyrook's statements. "Anyhow am hungry, Let's find a deer or some fish to eat," remarked Kiyoshi. "Ok kiddo, sounds good," replied Tyrook as Kiyoshi tracks to the forest.
Meanwhile, at the base, Sairon sits on his bed, evaluates his conversation with the Kiyoshi. He realizes his student was lying about the mission as the truth orb relieved something different. Sairon exits his bedroom, which was made of marble, and headed down the hallway. As he journeyed down the hallway. The floors of the hallway whereof a golden tile, the walls were of blue marble with statues of distinct figures running alongside the walls. He soon reaches a gigantic door made of gold and wood and proceeds to the entire inside.
Inside was an immense library of at least two million books, all of different sizes, shapes, and color. Some form different cultures and from different lands. The ceiling of the library was almost impossible to see from the ground as it was so high. Sairon walked up the massive staircase in the library leading to a second room. Inside the room was a giant orb floating in the center of the room. The orb was at least three hundred feet in circumference. The orb was so huge that it had no room for anything else to occupy space with. The orb was blue with a clear, like smoke floating inside it. "He is calm now, but during that mission, the essence in the orb was a fluctuation between pink and purple," remarked Sairon to himself. "Something happened that he is keeping from me," he continued.
(The truth orb is a device created by Sarion to gauge Kiyoshi's emotional and mental state whilst he is out on missions. Inside the orb has an essence of Kiyoshi's aura, which changes color depending on Kiyoshi's mood at the time.)
Clear essence means that Kiyoshi is calm and at a peace of mind. (The perfect state he should be in when on a mission)
Blue means that he has found something that makes him happy a little bit.
Orange means Kiyoshi is enjoying himself and is having fun.
Pink means that he is full of affection and might be in love.
Red means that he is annoyed and is getting angry.
Grey means He is highly upset but still has control of his emotional and mental state.
Purple means He has become enraged and is slowly losing himself and can go berserk at a moment's notice.
Black means he has lost himself completely to his rage and has gone berserk with little or no way of reaching him mentally.
With orb showing pink and purple during the mission, Sairon's concerns were that his pupil was in a situation that was too for him to handle mentally. " Of all the colors pink and purple, what happened there out there in Termichi," remarked Sairon with concern about Kiyoshi's well-being. As Sairon sat on the floor rubbing his eyes, he remarked that both pink and purple bring about a second coming of the demonic conversion event. As purple is so close to black that any little thing can push Kiyoshi over the edge and make enter a state in which there is no return. Pink is even worse as if something happens to the thing or person Kiyoshi has fallen in love with or has a deep affection for it can trigger a black mood event a bring about the apocalypse the end of days with Kiyoshi ruling over the darkness as its new demon lord.
As Sairon thinks about how close he was to losing his student, he pulls out a locket inside was a picture of a woman of Chinese descent. Her hair was long and dark, her skin was smooth and flawless and her eyes were a dark brown but yet so captivating and beautiful to look at. She had on a Cheongsam with flowers on it. Sairon looked at the picture of the women as tears began streaming down his face. "Minecko, have I failed to protect the boy? Have I failed to keep my promise to you after all this time? Please guide me, Minecko," remarked Sairon, who was sobbing on the ground.
Back in the forest, Kiyoshi and Tyrook sat on some rocks by streaming eating the deer and fish they have caught. "Oh, shit, this is some good deer and Fish kiddo. You can actually cook!" Kiyoshi just stared at Tyrook, irritated as the demon devoured the food without even chewing. Suddenly Kiyoshi's communication stone began glowing, it was Sairon. "Hello master, how can I aid you?" remarked Kiyoshi.
"I have the details of your new mission," replied Sairon. "You are to head to the fishing village of Domanchi immediately," he continued. "What happening there?" asked Kiyoshi.
"The people there are being attacked by something at night, and it has left piles of bodies littered in the streets and even in homes," remarked Sairon. "Do you think it's something out worldly?" asked Kiyoshi. "I don't know, but you are going to find out and stop whatever it thing," replied Sairon. "Ok master understood I will at once," remarked Kiyoshi. "Good and Kiyoshi be safe and take care of yourself". replied Sairon before leaving.
"Finishing eating and gather everything, we have a new mission," remarked Kiyoshi to Tyrook who had a fish in his mouth. Kiyoshi looked up to the sky, wondering what this mission had in store for him.
Several weeks later, Kiyoshi arrives at the outskirts of Domanchi. Overlooking the town from the mountainside, Kiyoshi obverses the village people doing their daily activities. He pays attention to how the expressions of the people look. They look petrified, worried, and mostly exhausted as they try to complete their daily task.As he oversees the village, he notices buildings that were old wooden Siheyuan and Minka-style houses, but they were poorly constructed. "Even after almost one thousand years, things still look almost the same," remarked Tyrook as Kiyoshi continued to overlook the village. "What do you mean by that?" asked Kiyoshi curiously, wondering what the demon meant."I came here during the demonic conversion event. They have the best fucking fish here," remarked Tyrook in enthusiasm. "Go figures, ", replied Kiyoshi in pique as he proceeds down the mountainside into the village. As he descents, he notices men pulling large nets of various fish.As
As Kiyoshi chased after them, the creatures leaped into the trees. From the canopies of the treetops, the entities are attacking Kiyoshi. Scratching and clawing away at him as he is unable to see them in the dead of night with how quickly they move. "Tyrook" shouted Kiyoshi and with that, Kiyoshi's eyes turn red and he began sniffing the surrounding air. "One, two, four, eight there are eight of them," remarked Kiyoshi as sniffed the air to track their movements. The creatures continue launching attacks, but with their scents marked, Kiyoshi was able to block their attacks. "Kivuli use shadow web now" shouted Kiyoshi. Suddenly a shadowy circle appeared around Kiyoshi and out of the circle tentacles jet streamed out and into the trees above. Thunderous roars could be heard shaking canopies above. "They have been captured." expressed Kivuli as the unknown beasts' roars increase in density and range as they try to escape. "Bring them into the moonlight. Let's see what w
As the Kiyoshi and the man square off, the other men that accompanied him surrounded Kiyoshi. With all the commotion, the villagers gather around, watching what's going on. As the men surrounding Kiyoshi laughs at him. The man with the board sword walks up to Kiyoshi boasting about his might and overwhelming strength compared to the smaller Kiyoshi. With boastful pride and confidence, the man brings down his board sword upon Kiyoshi. Kiyoshi flicks his sword up, then down with his thumb in one smoothing and quick motion. Halfway through the man's swing of his sword, his arm became served. As the man fell to his knees screaming in agonizing pain, clutching on to the rest of his arm with his next hand. As he continues screaming, the other men armed their weapons to attack. Only to be lapidified in fear as they notice that the tips of their weapons, including the small firearms they brought, were cut off. "When did he do that, its impossible to move that fast?" Mumbles
With a thunderous roar that shook the earth itself, Tyrook instigated his attacks with brutal quickness and efficiency. The men were terrified, but the monster coming towards them begin firing the gunshot with did not affect Tyrook, who began his slaughtering of them. Blood splattered as limbs and other body parts get ripped from their host with ungodly and sacrilegious brutality. As Tyrook was in full berserker rage mood. With onslaught raging on, Kiyoshi sits on rocking thinking to himself. "Tyrook is a demon of greed and gluttony. So taking something that belongs to him will upset him. It's just his nature. But this is different. It truly seems he grieving over Giang's death like he actually cares for the people of Domanchi." remarked Kiyoshi to himself. Tyrook, in his tantrum, grabbed one man by their faces and began dragging his body on the ground till there was nothing left of the man's body but the man's face that was stuck in Tyrook's arms. The remaining part
A few weeks later Kiyoshi finds himself knee-deep in mud and sludge as he journeys across swamp waters to reach his new mission. As gas bubbles form on the surface of the swamp water burst into malodours, the smell of toxins and decay fills the air. The croaking of dozens of frogs fills the air with such substandard melodies it almost drove the samurai mad hearing it. The water was so thick and dark that visibility was impossible."What group of people choose to live in such a place?" Kiyoshi thought to himself as he traverse the wasteland. Outside the swamp, Kiyoshi finds a small pond. The water wasn't one hundred percent clean. But it would have to do to wash the mud off the samurai's clothing. As his clothes dry on some nearby trees. Kiyoshi relaxes on a rock as Lilly asks him what their new mission entails."Am not sure, all master told me is that it should be a simple mission and that I would get all the info from the client," remarked Kiyoshi. "I wo
At the break of dawn, the next morning the day Madoka and the other warriors gather themselves to escort Cheyenne. As the men prepare themselves, Kiyoshi rises from his position to prepare himself as well. Enyeto appears and summons Kiyoshi to meet with other members of Cheyenne's escort party. There were ten members of the group, including Madoka himself. "Samurai this is the men that you will accompany on your mission to protect my daughter", expressed Eneyto. "These are the finest warriors we could spare. I know you know Madoka already, but we also have his brother Doma and his right-hand man, Kiba," remarked Enyeto. The men greeted Kiyoshi before being interrupted by Madoka, who was ready to leave. One man brought a white horse as Cheyenne appears from her tent. She approaches her father as she prepares to leave. "My dearest Cheyenne, I am so proud of you, my child. Please take care of yourself and try to make the best of it until we meet again." Expressed Enyeto
"Am sorry it had to come to this Cheyenne," remarked Kiba as the Medike warriors close in on her and Kiyoshi. "What is the meaning of this Kiba? And where is Madoka, Doma, and everyone else?" asked Cheyenne confused as to why this is happening. "Everyone beside Madoka and myself are dead," replied Kiba. "Why?" asked Cheyenne. "Coup!" shouted Kiyoshi."A revolution, nothing as senseless as a coup," replied Kiba, angered by Kiyoshi's words. "A revolution. What do you mean Kiba?" cried Cheyenne as she backs away from him. "Far too long princess. Have we been the weakest tribe in the land. Far too long have we been oppressed. Far too long have we been led by a chief that rather use his own daughter than strengthen his people. Now we have the chance to make our people great. Madoka will lead us to a new day a better day Cheyenne." Declared Kiba."You're mad. You and Madoka are mad." Where is Doma? He would never allow this!" cried Cheyenne as she comes to terms with Kiba's
"I made it in time," remarked Kiyoshi as he stands behind Madoka, catching his breath as his eyes fade from red to gray. "Samurai!" shouted both Madoka and Enyeto in disbelief as Kiyoshi stands before them. "What are you doing here, samurai? Where is Cheyenne? Is she safe?" expressed Enyeto who was concerned for his whereabouts and safety."She perfect! She is with some friends of mine that will make sure nothing happens to her. While I come here to take out the trash," remarked Kiyoshi as he look at Madoka with a nefarious look on his face. "Thank you, samurai. At least someone can be trusted. Now Madoka, stand down. Enough blood has been shed." Shouted Enyeto, whose confidence grew with Kiyoshi being present."You think just because the samurai is here, you won? I still have the Medikes with me. Now kill him" Command Madoka. But no one responded, confused. Madoka turns around to see the lifeless bodies of the Medike warriors on the ground. "When I said I made it in t
