Unexpected Circumstances

Following the fight between Sindy and Andrew, Sindy had hurriedly healed both their injuries using her Regeneration Art. Sadly, due to the excessive amount of Spirit Energy used, Sindy barely had any left to spare.

This worried her tremendously as she was concerned if she would be of further use on the mission. Samantha was already at the belief that she and Andrew would be useless and her lack of SE was not about to make it any better.

Andrew was also fairly tired but he was in much better shape than Sindy.

A few moments later, the two had arrived back at the jet where everyone had been told to rendezvous earlier. Amanda was ready to go over the plan with them one final time.

"Did everyone get a good feel of the area?" She inquired.

Sindy and Andrew looked around whimsically, "Yeah..! sure..."

"Alright, we can begin!"

Amanda then went over the plan one last time before everyone moved into position. They then silently moved towards the area where the Clique commanders were present.

As they moved closer, they saw two men sitting around a campfire. Beside them was a man who was restrained from head to toe by a sturdy piece of rope.

The assassins quickly deduced that the restrained individual was the government official that they were ordered to rescue. On the other hand, the two men were definitely the commanders they had been warned about.

Their auras were extremely cold and intimidating. Sindy felt a few shivers run up her spine just from the sight of them. It was painfully evident how strong the commanders were.

Amanda then decided it was time to put the plan in motion. She then raised her hand to give Leo the signal to activate his Illusion Art. However, just before she could give the order, one of the commanders spoke.

"So, Raven, it seems that it's time to play around for a little!" Began one of the commanders speaking to the other. His voice was as deep as Instructor Brady's and he was extremely muscular. He was of a dark complexion with light brown eyes, a chiseled face, and his hair was braided and tied back into a ponytail.

"Waver, they took way too long to show up. We've been waiting here for hours! Magna's going to be pissed that we've taken this long to bring back the hostage! So they better be worth it!" Complained the other commander with a dangerously sharp voice. He had spiky red hair, small ball gold earrings in each ear, and bright golden eyes. He wasn't very muscular but he seemed quite agile.

"It's fine," continued Waver. "The boss doesn't mind us getting rid of a few pests. It makes the job a lot easier for him anyway!"

A strong feeling of anxiety then quickly overcame the assassins. It was hard to tell if the commanders were talking about them or someone else. If they had truly been discovered by the commanders then they were in serious trouble.

Amanda pondered thoroughly. Her instincts advised her to retreat immediately.

Even though there could be serious consequences in abandoning the government official, Amanda knew that their lives were currently far more important. They had to retreat if they wished to survive.

However, before Amanda could even give her order, she was stopped once again by the commanders.

"Come on out! We already know you're there! Your auras are radiating like giant beacons!" Boomed, Waver.

"Shit!" Cursed Samantha. "These guys can detect Spirit Energy!"

"Everyone, stay calm..!" Ordered Amanda in a whispered shout.

"What the hell are we going to do..?! There's no way they'll let us escape even if we run now!"

The five assassins hesitated. They were worried about what their next move should be. They knew the commanders were far too powerful to confront. What could they do and how much time did they have to do it?

"I'll say it again! Come on out! Trust me, you won't like it if I come for you instead!" Warned Waver.

Amanda then took a deep breath to cool her head. As the leader, she had to be the one to take action first. She knew that they no longer had a choice. Her earlier plan was not going to work. To make things worse, she doubted that they could escape given the capabilities of the commanders.

With no other choice, Amanda carefully stepped out into the open, revealing herself to the commanders.

"Ah! There's the first one..." Chuckled Raven.

"I know there are more of you. Come out now or we kill the hostage!" Bluffed Waver.

Reluctantly, the other assassins followed Amanda's lead. It was their only option.

"Man, you guys look terrifying..!" Trembled Andrew.

"Everyone..." Began Amanda depressingly to her fellow assassins. "I'm sorry that things turned out this way. I forgot to take into consideration that they might be able to sense Spirit Energy... I've failed you all as team leader..."

"You didn't fail us, Amanda. We're all a team. The thought should have come across to us as well!" Comforted Leo.

"How can they sense our SE..? It's my first time hearing about such an ability..!" Noted Sindy.

"They say that once you're powerful enough, your body trains itself to detect SE. Only high-leveled individuals can develop this ability..." Explained Leo.

The two commanders then sat themselves up. Following this, Waver walked towards them slowly.

"I see... You're all from AA! Damn though, I was hoping to fight an SS-Classed assassin. I heard they're quite strong from the other commanders but I've never fought one before!"

"Even though our ranks aren't that high, don't you dare underestimate any of us for a second!" Warned Sindy.

The other assassins agreed as they all withdrew their weapons, ready for battle.

Sindy then pulled out her knives and Andrew withdrew both his swords. Samantha pulled out two small red-plated daggers while Amanda unsheathed a curved yari and Leo, a powerful metal staff.

The two commanders also got ready for battle with huge grins across their faces. Waver didn't seem to have a weapon on him, but in truth, he didn't need one. On the other hand, Raven released a set of jagged chains that were wrapped around his arms.

"Okay guys, listen up!" Quickly began Amanda. "This fight will be harder than anything you've experienced in your entire lives. We will take on the commanders separately instead of having them work as a team. Andrew, Sindy, and Samantha, you three deal with Waver! Leo and I will deal with Raven!"

"Yeah, great! We get the big guy that looks like he can crush me with his pinkie while you guys deal with the twig! This is so fair!" Complained Andrew sarcastically.

"Not the time, Andrew!" Reprimanded Sindy.

They then wasted no more time. Quickly, the assassins moved away to take on their respective opponents.

"Sindy, we've got to make it through this and get back to Nate. He'd miss us if we died," teased Andrew.

"I don't plan on dying anytime soon. We'll both get back to him. I refuse to lose to another opponent and fail to save another life!" Responded Sindy bravely.

"I'll be frank here," interjected Samantha. "I don't like you guys. However, if we're going to win this then we need to work together."

"We agree!"

Waver then moved towards them with a massive grin across his lips. It was time for the battle to begin.

"How cute! I get to play with three little kids... Come to papa, Waver!"

The three assassins then charged towards Waver. Andrew was the first to attack. He slashed upwards towards Waver's head but Waver easily dodged and gave Andrew a playful push, causing him to stagger backward.

Sindy then jumped from the air, slicing downwards with her knives but Waver simply caught her like a child before gently tossing her aside.

Samantha also tried approaching silently from his rear, but she too was caught and thrown backward into Sindy. Waver was toying with them. It was evident to Sindy and Andrew that he was leagues above the Beast King.

"Come on now! Is that all you AA brats got?" Taunted Waver with a frown.

"This guy has mad reflexes!" Protested Andrew.

"We've got to charge him with our Arts and catch him off-guard!" Declared Samantha.

The three assassins then agreed. It was their only option. Quickly, they began charging their Art Styles. Sindy was extremely tired and wouldn't be able to pull off too many draining moves but she forced herself onward.

"Fire Art: Infernal Flare!" She commanded.

"Water Art: Water Dragon Missile!" Followed Andrew.

"Water Art: Water Shuriken!" Joined in Samantha with a dozen tiny water-like shuriken.

The Arts flew towards Waver before exploding in a massive cloud of smoke— sending a deafening blast through the air. The three assassins, however, knew better than to expect the attack to kill him.

Nevertheless, they couldn't allow him to recover. They lunged at Waver, trying to land a decisive blow. Sindy attacked from his right, swiftly cutting at the giant's side, Samantha charged from his left, aiming for a liver shot, and finally, Andrew attacked from the front with his sword pointed directly towards Waver's gut.

Unfortunately, it still wasn't enough. Waver stepped back, spacing himself from Andrew's sword while dodging both Sindy's and Samantha's attacks simultaneously. Due to this, Sindy and Samantha crashed violently into one another, almost wounding themselves with their weapons. It was almost unbelievable that Waver withstood all their Art Styles and attacks with activating a single Art Style of his own.

 Andrew, however, wasn't about to give up. He quickly jumped and aimed towards Waver's shoulder. His sword was certain to hit.

"Destruction Art: Disintegration Slash!"

Andrew knew that his Destruction Art could do the trick. It was one of the more powerful Dark Arts and was known to kill any opponent even if it simply grazed them. It was a very fearful Art Style.

Wavers' eye's widened with surprise. He did not expect Andrew to have such a powerful Art within his arsenal.

"HAHA fine!" He laughed. "You forced me to defend myself! Lighting Art: Lightning Armor!"

An armor crackling with electricity immediately surrounded Waver's body. Andrew's Destruction Art was powerful but he still lacked experience which prevented him from overcoming Waver's Art Style. Waver's Lightning Armor had completely blocked his attack.

"Destruction Art is so troublesome but that's only if it touches you!" Laughed Waver.

"Who said I'm done?" Grinned Andrew.

This was when Andrew caught Waver completely off-guard. He quickly released one of his swords in hopes of using it as a distraction. Unfortunately, Waver ignored the sword and extended his hand towards Andrew. 

This was when Andrew did something that surprised even himself. He didn't know how he managed to pull it off but he twirled himself mid-air dodging Waver's hand. Finally, Andrew launched a powerful spinning kick into Waver's jaw.

Waver was stunned with disbelief. It was the most impressive stunt he had seen anyone pull off in quite a while. How had someone as weak as Andrew manage to do something so skillful? He was turning out to be quite troublesome.

Following this, Andrew immediately jumped back to gain some distance, taking Sindy and Samantha with him.

"Are you ladies okay? Your knight in Andrew's armor has just saved the day!" He celebrated cheekily.

"We're fine... Please don't let your guard down!" Warned Samantha.

Andrew then looked up to see Waver staring at him coldly. It was an intense stare that had KILL written all over it. Waver had realized just how troublesome Andrew could be. His Destruction Art was extremely dangerous but on top of that, he had a good fighting technique. All it would take was one small cut from Andrew's Destruction Art to end his life. He was too dangerous to be kept alive.

"Ahh!!" He boomed with delight. "I came here for some fun and that's what you just provided me with, kid! I'm grateful but now it's my turn to strike!"

"Damn! This guy looks like he's gonna kill me..." Trembled Andrew. "Sindy, please tell Nathan to clear my search history when he gets back to the Real World!" 

"Shut up idiot! You'll be fine... He's got good reflexes but he's huge which means he probably can't move very fast. You can stay alive and clear whatever it is that you're trying to hide, yourself!"

Waver then set himself forward as if he was about to run a 100m race. A maniacal grin then crossed his lips as he began to speak, "Hey boy! Your Destruction Art is dangerous! So I'm going to kill you first! You good with that?"

Andrew immediately got his swords in front of him. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that something very bad was about to happen to him.

"Come on now..! Don't you think I'm too handsome to die? Like hey, if you have a daughter, you could hook us up maybe? It'd be a waste to kill someone like your daughter's future husband. Don't you agree?"

Waver ignored Andrew's request as he got ready to attack. Following this, the ground where Waver had stood shattered into pieces. A sound similar to an exploding grenade then resonated through the area.

Within the blink of an eye, Waver was up in the face of Andrew— his fist doubled, ready to unleash a devastating punch.

"Shockwave Art: Skull Crusher!!"

The powerful sound of a sonic boom pierced the ears of the baffled Sindy and Samantha. Andrew's swords shattered like glass as he was sent flying 1000ft away from where he stood. His body zoomed through the air like a paper airplane as he crashed into at least a dozen trees leaving massive craters behind.

Sindy and Samantha gazed in horror. They were unable to fathom the speed and power that Waver had just unleashed. The area was filled with dust and debris but Andrew was nowhere to be found.

Finally, with fear and worry seeping through her soul, Sindy released a terrifying cry;

"ANDREW!!!!"

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.

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.

    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

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

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.

    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

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

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!

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

"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
