2024-10-29 19:42:56Meanwhile In The Battle Against Raven...
A loud explosion like that of a sonic boom echoed within the distance. Amanda and Leo were becoming fearful. The loud explosion had come from where their fellow assassins were fighting the other commander, Waver.
Unfortunately, they had no time to worry about the others. They too were dealing with a powerful commander which they were severely struggling against.
Leo and Amanda were filled with cuts and bruises. Raven, the commander that they were fighting was painfully swift. To make things worse, his weapons were a pair of jagged chains which he knew how to use quite well. The chains were quick and rarely missed their target. It was evident that he had mastery over them.
"We can't lay a finger on this guy! His Arts are so annoying!" Complained Leo.
Amanda breathed heavily. She could hardly find the energy needed to respond to Leo's complaints. The battle was much harder than she could have ever anticipated.
"This guy's strength isn't the main issue..." She started. "In truth, I doubt he's all that much stronger than you, Leo. It's his Art Styles that make him so damned hard to fight! If only we had someone who could counter his Art Styles with their speed, we could easily gain the advantage!"
Raven's Arts were Vector Art and Teleportation Art. His Vector Art allowed him to make any object he touched move in the direction he wanted it to. However, he could only control two objects at a time.
On the other hand, his Teleportation Art allowed him to teleport to any area of his choosing. The only drawback was that the larger the distance, the more Spirit Energy it would require for him to teleport.With a devious grin, Raven launched his chains towards Amanda at an incredible speed. However, she quickly moved out of the way, barely managing to dodge the attack, or so she thought.
"Vector Art: Rebound!"
Utilizing his Art Style, Raven redirected his chains towards Amanda, resulting in it piercing her leg.Amanda screamed in agony as she fell to the ground, moaning in pain. The blood from her leg painted the grass beneath her red. Unfortunately, the chain had not only pierced her leg but was now wrapped directly around the bone."Amanda!!" Screamed Leo in apprehension."Damn it!! Flower Art: Vine Prison!" Quickly invoked Amanda.
Within her agony, Amanda utilized her second Art Style to summon a rectangular prison of vines to keep herself temporarily secure from Raven. However, It was still not enough.
Instead of attacking again, Raven sadistically began pulling on the chain, further ripping her leg open. Amanda's face wrinkled with distress. Tears crept into her eyes and her voice became brittle as she pounded the ground with her fists. The pain was far too much to bear.Leo knew that he had to help her. He didn't have a plan but the longer he waited, the more blood Amanda would lose. He had to act quickly.
Swiftly, he went in for an aerial attack, swinging his staff towards Raven's head. Sadly, it was to no avail as Raven was far too agile.
"Teleportation Art: Shadow Transport!"
Effortlessly, Raven utilized his Teleportation Art to transfer himself behind Leo. Following this, he violently latched the other end of the jagged chain around Leo's neck as he began to strangle him. Regrettably, this brought Amanda even more pain as Leo pulled against the chain in hopes of freeing himself.
As if Raven wasn't satisfied, he then kicked Leo into the ground almost snapping his neck in the process. Leo desperately gasped for air. The force added to the chain that was latched around his neck almost snapped his windpipe. He was quickly losing consciousness and there was nothing he could do.
Raven smiled malevolently. The commander was having the time of his life watching the two assassins wreath in pain.
"You're both my dogs!" He laughed as he tugged on the chains. "If you beg for your lives and bark like dogs then maybe I'll let you live!"
The situation was extremely dire on both battlefields. On one hand, it was unknown if Andrew was even still alive. On the other, both Leo and Amanda were growing closer to death with each passing second.
The assassins were all powerless against the commanders. All their efforts had been in vain. Death was slowly approaching them.

A Few Minutes Earlier Back at AA HQ Before Amanda's Team Confronted The Commanders...Alondo gently pushed past the door of the infirmary as he entered Nathan's room. The moment he stepped inside, he could smell the scent of depression in the air.He then looked across the room to see four different plates of untouched food beside Nathan's bed which indicated that he hadn't eaten in a total of four days. He would surely starve himself to death if this were to continue. The situation was much worse than Alondo could have anticipated."Nathan," he called without a response."Nathan!" He called a little louder. But it was still to no avail.Alondo then asserted himself as he moved closer. This time he called in a much more serious tone."Nathan!!!"However, there was still silence. Nathan was much too lost in his failures to pay any attention to anyone who spoke to him. This irritated Alondo significantly. He felt as if he was talking to a
The Mind World And The Outcast Hero Backup
Andrew's arms were shattered. Almost every single bone in his body had been smashed like mashed potatoes. Violently, he coughed up blood as if it were a natural occurrence. The shockwave from Waver's punch had not only destroyed his skeletal system but had also completely paralyzed the rest of his body as well.Sindy rushed over to him with panic gripping her soul. A worrisome feeling of whether or not he was alive swarmed her like a hive of bees."No! No! No! No! Nooo!! Please, Andrew! Stay with me!" She cried, running to his side.Quickly, she then activated her Regeneration Art and began healing his injuries. Unfortunately, it was barely enough to keep him alive. In truth, Regeneration Art consumed a lot of Spirit Energy when used. Since Sindy had already utilized it once before in addition to other Art Styles, she barely had any SE left to heal Andrew's injuries. Due to this, Andrew would certainly die in a few minutes if Sindy didn't find a way to regain he

Raven had not expected another assassin to show up to the fight. He had suddenly been hit by a powerful Lightning Art which had forced him to release both Amanda and Leo.Amanda and Leo were grateful to Nathan. They would surely be dead if he had not saved them."The Mind Hero..." Gasped Amanda."Another puppy shows up to the party..! No matter! I'll put a collar on you soon enough!" Smirked Raven.Nathan ignored Raven's words. Instead, he looked at him coldly— apparently not displaying any emotion. He was concentrated on winning the battle before him."You two should get out of here and regroup with the others. I'll hold this guy off for now..." He proclaimed."What? Are you crazy?! There's no way that you can handle a Clique Commander by yourself!" Reprimanded Leo.For a moment, Nathan did not respond. He tightened his grip around his katana and clenched his teeth."Throughout my life, I've experienced pain and many disap

Waver burnt with rage. Raven, his longest known friend had been killed right before his eyes. Both Waver and Raven were new commanders to the Cliques Organization. They had joined the organization together in hopes of creating a better world. However, that dream had been hindered due to Raven's death."You killed Raven!! There's no way I'm going to let you live now you damned brat!" He boomed with rage.Death's flaming eyes then slowly looked down on Waver. He did not take a liking to his tone. A mere human was never supposed to speak down to an angel.Calmly, Death then rose his katana which was now engulfed in black flames. Time then seemed to slow and the oxygen gradually drained from the atmosphere around them. The air particles even began vibrating, creating a sound like the buzzing of a thousand bees.Finally, with a single swing of his sword, the ground exploded into darkness.The entire mountain shook like a magnitude ten earthquake followed

Instructor Brady had been cut in two. The other assassins watched with a look of horror present across their faces. That monster before them now had nothing to stop it from destroying the Mind World."INSTRUCTOR!!!!!" Screamed Sindy.Instructor Brady had seemingly died right before their eyes. He had been their only hope. Now that he was gone, what could they do to survive?However, this was when something unexpected happened. To everyone's astonishment, the body of Instructor Brady suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke. The body that Death had sliced in half was, fortunately, a Smoke Clone created by the Instructor."Smoke Art: Smoke Clone!!" Yelled the Instructor.Reappearing from beneath the cloud of smoke was Instructor Brady with his cigar clenched between his teeth. Death had been severely caught off guard by this. There was little to no time for him to even react.Stretching forth his hand with the Seal Tag in place, Instructor Brady

Nathan's head throbbed in pain as he slowly opened his cool dark-brown eyes. He was unsure of how long he had been asleep but his hunger made it evident it had been over a day. Slowly, he then sat up on his bed realizing that he was in the Medical Bay."Ugh... What happened..?" He groaned to himself.The memories then began pouring into his mind. He saw flashes of darkness and remembered the screaming voices of hundreds of lost souls. The pain in his head only intensified the more he tried to remember.Carefully, he then picked himself up and moved towards a private bathroom located nearby. As he walked, his body ached like that of an old man. It was almost as if his body had grown much older over the time he was asleep.Upon arriving at the bathroom, Nathan then began to clean himself to ensure no injuries were present across his body. He remembered that Raven had severed his arm and pierced a hole through his stomach but weirdly, the wounds were a

Sindy and Nathan walked side by side as they moved towards the cafeteria. Sindy felt at peace walking beside him. It reminded her of when they were kids, bringing back a strong sense of nostalgia.This was when the thought of holding hands ran across Sindy's mind. She was flushed red as she slowly built her confidence. It was the perfect opportunity to make a move on Nathan.Boldly, Sindy then tangled her fingers around Nathan's hand. This resulted in a sudden chill running up his spine. He couldn't comprehend why Sindy had done such a thing so suddenly. However, Nathan decided not to question why she had done this. Instead, he held his head straight and continued to walk. He refused to give a reaction.This however made Sindy dissatisfied. Once again, Nathan had failed to acknowledge her romantic gesture towards him. Due to this, Sindy began to question if he even recognized her as the opposite gender.Believing this, Sindy released her grasp on Nathan's
The Mind World And The Outcast Hero Isabella's Offer?!
Nathan closed his eyes as he concentrated. He could feel the power of his Spirit Energy boiling up inside him. During the time Nathan had spent training with Isabella, he had managed to call upon his Lightning and Wind Energies at the same time. This was all necessary to gain mastery over his Spirit Energies."Good Nathypoo! Now try adding your Death Energy into the mix! If you can do this then you have mastered taming your Spirit Energy! You might even be able to create your first Combination Art!" Tutored Isabella.Nathan followed Isabella's instructions. Due to this, his body became cold from his rising Death Energy. He could feel its power building up inside him, threatening to go out of control at any moment. Nathan clenched his teeth as he tried to force his power to obey him. It was quickly becoming too much for him to handle.If he was a simple Double Art User then he would have already tamed his Spirit Energy. Unfortunately, his Death Energy was much too

Nathan, Ava, and Evan felt a rush of nostalgia. The memories they created in Youkatai Mountain would stick with them no matter where they went. It was now time for them to venture into a new chapter of their lives. Ava and Evan wished to see the world for themselves and Nathan was adamant about defeating the Cliques.They were now set to leave the village. They were all carrying heavy bags that had food, water, weapons, and other necessities needed for their journey.Rikugan smiled before wrapping his arms around them for a warm hug."Remember you three, you're always welcomed here no matter where your journey takes you. I am proud to have you as my students and grandchildren!""Thank you, grandpa..! I'm going to miss you so much!" Sobbed Ava."Take care of yourself, gramps! We'll come back when we're finished helping Nathan! Until then, please be well!" Added Evan tearily."I will. Now, please behave yourselves while traveling with Nathan.

Rikugan's Decision
Nathan felt like the world had stopped moving. His heart thumped against his chest and his breathing became heavy. His eyes became as cold as ice and the air around him became filled with blood lust. He was fueled with rage. He couldn't accept that Sindy and Andrew had been killed."What did you just say..?" He asked in an unsettling voice, looking at Illumi.Illumi began to chuckle like a child, refusing to answer. Due to this, Nathan charged toward the commander burning with rage. However, Rikugan grabbed onto his arm, stopping him from going any further."Nathan, control yourself!" Deterred Rikugan. "There's no guarantee your friends are dead! He could just be provoking you!"Ava and Evan also rushed to Nathan's side, trying their best to calm him down."Dude, calm down..! Gramps could be right! They might just be provoking you to get you to come over to them so that they can grab you and run!" Soothed Evan."Evan's right! Besides, you're in no condition to take on two commanders

Heartfelt News
Nathan..!" Squealed Ava in shock.Rocca and Illumi were also stunned. Nathan, the Mind Hero, who they believed to be dead was now standing before them. They were sure that he had been killed in the explosion back in Conscience City over a year ago. It made no sense why he was still alive."You..! This isn't possible... You're the Mind Hero, aren't you..? How are you alive..?" Asked Rocca in shock.Nathan didn't give an immediate response. In truth, he had recognized Rocca as well. He was the commander that Rick had fought back in Conscience City over a year ago. If his memory served correctly, Rick had called him The Man Of Steel, Rocca, also known as the most powerful Clique commander."I'm no hero. My name's simply Nathan and I have no interest in telling you how I'm alive."Rocca laughed, "This is great!! There was an order to capture you and that #4 assassin, Isabella! So when we heard you had died, we were quite disappointed!"Nathan ignored Rocca's statement. He was much more co

Defiance
The fight had begun. Tension was now in the air and adrenaline began to pump. Rikugan lunged at the commanders with his hands shrouded in dark Spirit Energy.Swiftly, he snuck below Illumi's guard and slammed his fist into his stomach. Illumi's mouth widened as the air was squeezed from his lungs. He staggered backward, struggling to regain his balance.However, Rocca was not about to let his partner be defeated so easily. He swung his massive axes at Rikugan, quickly activating an Art Style."Steel Art: Metallic Cut!"Rocca's axes shone brightly as they approached Rikugan. Rikugan had to defend himself. Metallic Cut was an Art Style that sharpened weapons to the point where they could cut even titanium like butter.Nonetheless, Rikugan was prepared. Quickly, he activated a Zen Barrier that barely managed to block Rocca's attack. Fortunately, this had created an opportunity for him to counter."Destruction Art: Destructive Touch!"Rikugan didn't have much Spirit Energy at his disposal

Tribute To The Past
After leaving Nathan behind, Rikugan arrived at the part of the village that was being attacked. The area was ravaged and left in a deplorable state. Houses, shops, and other buildings were now piles of wood scattered across the streets. Flames flickered and smoke danced its way up into the air. However, the fighting had already seemed to stop. The only thing in sight was destruction and bodies of the injured and the dead. This was strange to Rikugan given that he could still sense the Spirit Energies of those who had attacked the village."Grandpa!" Shouted Evan who had finally arrived with Ava. "Why are you just standing around?! Some of the villages are still alive! We need to help them!""Wait, both of you! Don't move!" Warned Rikugan."Huh..? Is something wrong?" Inquired Ava.Rikugan didn't answer. Instead, he peered his eyes before him as if someone was there."I won't fall for such a cheap trick! I know you're there! Save me the trouble and show yourselves!" Shouted Rikugan.

Cliques Invasion
Nathan was exhausted. He had exerted almost every drop of Spirit Energy he had to defeat Death. The only good side to his fatigue was that his real body had no physical injuries. Since it was his Spirit Energy that had been fighting Death, his injuries had not been transferred over physically."Nathy!" Squealed Ava as she wrapped her arms around him. She was filled with joy to see that he had made it back alive."Hey," he replied tiredly. "I told you I'd be okay... I kept my word..!"Evan and Rikugan were also thrilled to see him. Truthfully, they had feared that he wouldn't be able to defeat Death. They were happy this was not the case."Are you feeling okay?" Asked Evan curiously."I'm mostly okay but I'm extremely tired... I feel like I could collapse at any moment...""Well, that's better than being back in Tartarus.""I agree..!" Sighed Nathan"And the seal?" Interjected Rikugan.Nathan then showed his katana to Rikugan, revealing the imprint of Death's name on the side."Wow! Do

Even though he felt like he had just been hit full force by a fast-moving truck, Nathan painfully picked himself up. Despite Death's threat to kill him, he refused to stay down."I see..." He began in a pain-filled voice. "Now it makes sense why I haven't been able to outrun you...""Have you lost your senses? You talk as if you have everything figured out even though you're about to die," proclaimed Death."I'm sorry, Death, but I don't have time to be dead. I'm no longer that kid who always failed his missions and lost every fight. And I'm about to prove that by defeating you!""Don't get cocky, you brat!" Boomed Death as he flew towards Nathan.Once again, time seemed to slow down. Nathan knew that running was pointless. No matter how fast he moved, Death would be able to catch him. His only option was to stand and fight.Nathan then took a deep breath as he prepared to activate an Art Style. His eyes began glowing bright blue while electricity flowed from his body like a beacon.

Nathan clawed his way out of the grave. His body was rigged with pain but he couldn't allow himself to stay down. He had to defeat Death, no matter what."It's true," smirked Nathan. "You are strong... But that's exactly how I like it. The stronger you are, the stronger I will be when I make your power mine!""You insolent pest!" Boomed Death in annoyance.A dark sword made from flaming Death Energy then formed in Death's hand. Nathan knew that this meant trouble. However, before he could properly prepare himself, Death flew toward him at insane speeds.Following this, Death swung his sword violently at Nathan. Nathan, however, managed to block the attack with the blunt of his katana at the last second. Sadly, he had not calculated the terrifying power that would accommodate Death's attack.The power of Death's attack shattered the ground into pieces like glass, uprooting dead trees and graves with ease. The force sent Nathan flying through over a dozen dead trees before he collided w

Nathan, Rikugan, Ava, and Evan all sat in a circle while holding hands. Everyone aside from Rikugan was on the verge of suffering from an anxiety attack."G-grandpa, do we have to do this? This is suicide!" Argued Evan."This is not only Nathan's problem, Evan. This problem is as much ours as it is his. If we do not find a way to tame that angel inside of him then one day, its power will destroy the Mind World. We must do this!"Evan lowered his head as he tried to calm himself. He wanted to run away but he knew he had no choice but to fight."Grandpa, how can you be so calm? I know you're strong but not even you could stand up to an angel! Why aren't you scared?" Trembled Ava."Ava, sometimes we must face the things we fear the most. That is the only way to defeat our greatest nightmares.""I'm sorry that you guys have to go through with this..." Apologized Nathan.Ava smiled at Nathan, comforting him. Evan also gave him a reassuring nod to signify that it was okay. Following this, R
