The dark guardian

C66

—Katsuro ?— I was surprised that he was here, he was in front of me , apparently he already had his powers because he was able to stop that... he had his armor on and a courage that radiated in his eyes, I accept that I was very moved when see that it was here, but why? What would be your motive?

"Does it look like you already asked for your power or what, James?" He smirked. "Oh, I didn't remember that he always protected your ass, it seems that not much has changed after all. " Were you thinking of giving up on that monster?— I shake my head.

—I was just going to tear him apart when you appeared—I came out of the rubble—as always you interrupting me just when I'm about to finish off the enemy.

— ha! Excuses and more excuses, we both know you're fried, James, but be glad I'm here to save you, but tell me who is that guy?

I think you should know, right? According to what I have been informed so far, it is a kind of soul-sucking vampire, I came here to stop it, but I summon that monster that we have in front of us, that monster moves at its will, but it is very dangerous, no matter how hard it is I wounded him with my sword, he regenerated again, I also tried to pierce his heart, believing that this would be his weak point, but it was not possible. Do you think you have a better plan?

And what is this boy doing here?" He pointed to Billy. "This place is too dangerous for him to be present."

—Don't worry, he's just a spiritual puppet, he's not a human child, he only detects the energy of a Volt.

I'm sorry to interrupt your great conversation but I need to finish this once and for all. Attack! - ordered the monster, it instantly launched a very large fireball at us which we were able to successfully dodge, but immediately formed a larger one.

"It will finish us off, Katsuro . " I stood by his side.

—Don't tell me that you're afraid of that? It's pathetic that someone like you fears him ." He shook his head, putting his arms in front of him waiting for that ball of fire.

By magic, some straps appeared out of nowhere completely wrapping the monster, shredding it into thousands of pieces. I looked around again because obviously we had not been the ones who destroyed that monster.

—Wow, wow... Ates, I didn't know that you would walk around the city trying to devour my food—a guy was approaching, he had been the one who destroyed the monster—no wonder I began to see that more people than usual were disappearing and I knew that I had not been, at what point did you do it, yes ? It is in very bad taste to know that you do things without me .

"What are you doing here, Roshi ?" The guy they had called Ates replied, "I didn't know you would come here, much less that you would destroy my attack if I was about to destroy these guys. "

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" I asked arrogantly, "don't tell me that you're also a Volt?"

n't say the word to me, insignificant human, where I come from we are not used to talking to our own food," he glared at me, when suddenly I saw that he used one of his belts turning it into a snake which immediately pounced on me . Fortunately I was able to dodge it.

"What kind of powers do you guys have?" Katsuro asked very surprised.

"Are you heading towards me too ?" Roshi was getting angry. "Since when do pigs like you address the nobility like me?" Immediately two of his straps tied his partner who was next to him, he was suffocating him little by little, without a doubt the intentions of this subject was to kill him.

-What the hell is wrong with you? Isn't he your partner? Or is it that you guys aren't together?— I frowned somewhat surprised at what I was seeing.

"You are not interested in how I act with others," he replied arrogantly, "don't interfere in my affairs again or else...

—otherwise what ? I'm not afraid of you—I was about to make the next attack when one of those snakes stood in front of me , that snake spoke and told Roshi that I had a lot of power, apparently it also detected the inner power of people.

"Interesting," he analyzed me and then took his tied friend away.

"Do you have any idea who those guys were, James?" Katsuro asked somewhat bewildered .

—I don't know, I only got to know the first one, but that other guy who came recently had no idea who it could be, but from what I see he also had an amazing power. We'll have to ask Lakai who that other guy was, but it's good that you're back with notorious—I patted his shoulder animatedly.

Soon Astrid and Mike appeared from the shadows running with the other two spirit puppets.

—How did they get here?— I wanted to know—it's not good that you're here, Astrid, look, you're good at getting into trouble.—immediately they were both surprised when they saw that Katsuro was with me and this time in human form.

—Are you Katsuro ? —Astrid and Mike asked—good to see you, we thought we would never see you again after we said goodbye at the center dimension .

—I know, I didn't think I would come here again either , I was training to become stronger, but the orders from above came that I would have to come here with the same mission as Jinsu , try to fight against the spirits that are coming to the earth, because to tell the truth that portal is still open, but I am also glad to see them, they look even stronger than how they were there, surely their diet is different, something that I am also about to see, now with this human body I suffer from things that I didn't suffer there, like tiredness, hunger and other emotions that run through my veins, but I guess I'll have to get used to it—he did a little stretching—by the way, who are those other two guys that come with you?

other spooky puppets , Lakai gave them to us when we were in danger with those Volt, but they're on our side," Astrid smiled explaining.

—Well, what strange subjects—I analyze them carefully.

UNKNOWN NARRATION

The night in the city fell more and more. The nightlife continued, clubs here and there. Alcohol and drugs were present, prostitutes, thieves among others walked the streets of London, crime increased more and more as well as murders and disappearances. Disappearances that made no sense, but what they did not know was that each lost body not only required the physical but also the spiritual.

In a majestic building with a view that overlooked the entire block was a very mysterious subject who would soon know of his demand.

—Don't you think that the view from here is impressive?— That guy was on the top floor looking around him—so many people out there wandering innocently but they don't know that all of them will be our dinner. You should learn a little more from the lesson I give you, someone as wise as me is the one who has survived for all the centuries, immortalize my body for us, but I see that you did something wrong. Isn't that right Ates?

—I feel like I haven't done anything wrong, I just went out to enjoy a banquet that I haven't had for a long time, but as always Roshi has to interfere with everything I do, he treats me as if I were a child and That's starting to tire me out, do you think that's fair? If this time I almost suffocated.

—Well, it is true that I did that, sir, but he has disrespected me a lot, he knows that we are governed by his orders and even so he is defying her.

—Well, you're right about that—the subject approached Ates—have you been eating well? Perfect, I need you to be strong for what is coming, but please pay attention to the things that Roshi tells you, your lack of mandures and your weakness are an easy point for the enemy.

—But I don't like to receive mandates from anyone and even from yours, you know me perfectly and that doesn't work with me.

—don't force me to take drastic measures with you, if I've sent Roshi it's to watch your back, you don't have enough skill to destroy those guys, believe me and trust me , now please leave because I want to continue enjoying the game. beautiful landscape that this city offers me.

•

The pride of a boy was being altered, rebellion was what characterized him, he was not subject to laws or mandates, but tonight he would be punished by taking him to a room in which he only had access to a small window where the moon was reflected. But inside of him there was a contained hatred that at any moment would explode acting on its own, which would be a headache for its leader—unknown.

JAMES

We returned home to devise something against these new subjects, Mike had come up with the great idea that we sleep in my house which I saw as a crazy idea, the first thing that came to my mind was the questions that my parents would ask me , first of all because of Katsuro , he was a friend they had never seen, but we still had to leave.

—it seems that everyone is asleep—grows a look before entering, I saw that it was a good opportunity to get all these people in without them noticing.— come on, come in —I opened the main door—my room is over there—point the stairs that led to their address—don't make any noise or else we'll be fried.

We all took off our shoes, entering quietly, one after the other we went up, we were close to reaching my room, fear was taking over me, I had never put so many people in the house and worse a woman like Astrid.

—James, who are all your friends?— Katrana had gotten up to drink water, she observed them all—ah, with what you even brought a girl, she's sure your girlfriend, now I'll get even for that time—I take a breath to yell at mom, but I immediately put a hand over her mouth stopping her from yelling.

—please don't say anything—I pursed my lips in fear—let's make a deal, I promise to give you what you want all this time but don't say anything okay?— my sister was very difficult to convince so I had to give her a tempting deal so that fell even if it meant he would be her slave for a long time.

—Okay, it's a promise, but if you break it I promise to tell mom about this—she shook her little finger with mine as a symbol of promise.

"Now go to sleep," I ordered, "you have to get up early tomorrow to go to class," he scratched his head and left.

We were all inside, I closed the door securing it very well, I didn't want my parents to discover me with all of them at night.

"Please, I'm going to ask you not to raise your tone of voice too much or you'll get up here, my parents are usually very light sleepers, any noise wakes them up easily," I told the boys.

"We need to do something to stop what these guys are doing," Mike suggested, "before they steal another human's soul."

"Believe me, I've been thinking the same thing, but I sit with my arms crossed," Astrid expressed with a bit of concern, "perhaps you know, right ? " He pointed to Katsuro .

—Well, I have no idea who these guys are, it's the first time I've seen them and if I knew them a long time ago I would have told them, also in the central dimension they must have no idea about this, they would have sent me with all the knowledge of having been so—shrugged his shoulders.

—Well, anyway, tomorrow we can think more calmly—continue taking out some mattresses.— I don't have enough, but they will be of some use.

"Hey, you haven't told us yet, where are we going to sleep?" Mike asked, "I see that you only have one bed and only two mattresses. "

—Well, I'll sleep on the floor and Astrid can take my bed—she and I looked at each other at that moment as if sensing something in common— You and Katsuro can sleep together.

We turned off the lights and it was all dark, we only looked at the numbers on the wall clock in my room, when suddenly I felt warm hands on my chest.

"James, I'm a little scared," Astrid was arriving, "do you think you could walk me to bed?" She feels lonely and cold.

shit! Without a doubt it was a great opportunity, when she said that my heart was pounding more than normal and I felt a deep desire for her at that moment, it was a desire that I had not felt before with her, but I had to control my hormones since it The least we had there was privacy, but nevertheless I accompanied her.

feels better, don't you think so?" Astrid took my hand to her abdomen, she was only in her underwear and bra, I swallowed thickly when her body pressed against mine, if we continued like this she wouldn't be able to control me for a long time.

"That's right, it feels warm" I kept lowering my hand a little more, I inadvertently bit my lower lip, what's wrong James? You have to behave like a gentleman, do not abuse confidence.

Immediately she turned around taking the initiative to kiss me, I felt strange since usually the man is the one who does that, but it seems that in this case Astrid was the one who held the reins.

Her lips were soft, I followed the rhythm of kissing, in my sleep I felt how her tongue entered my mouth in such a way that you make movements in circles, I was surprised that she was like that, but I could tell her to stop because the truth was that I was enjoying it , but the bad thing is that down there there was a little friend that she could not control, that little friend was growing more and more to the point that she could feel it.

—James… he panted very low, that was the trigger for me to go crazy with passion, I kept kissing his neck, besides licking his chest.

Unfortunately someone turned on the light in the room which did not make us alert.

katsuro said —I just want to look for something, it seems that I've even lost my vision while I'm here—he turned on the electricity, but at that moment I felt that someone who was very solid down here began to go flaccid.

"Another time will be" Astrid patted my chest to turn around.

What bad luck for me! Right at the time when... this had to happen. We deeply hurt leaving an alarm.

•

THE NEXT DAY.

—Let me see how things are down there so we can go—I went down to the living room, making sure that everyone had already left, but I saw that my parents were still there, they were finishing breakfast.

Aren't you going to college today, James?" Mom asked.

—Yes, I will go, mom, what happens is that today I have to come in later than usual, a teacher is sick and we will miss that block of classes—I took a box of milk, pretending to go back to my room.

"Have they left yet?" Astrid asked, biting her nails.

—not yet, but they are about to leave—I closed the door—today we have to go to the university, late but we have to go, we can't be missing and worse in this period of exams that we are in, I have been doing poorly in the tests and I would not like to go to summer courses.

—Well, I think the same—Mike said—at home they are very strict with me in that part, I have not been a bad student and I would not like to bring the news to my parents that I have lowered my average.

AN HOUR LATER

We were all at the university arriving at the second period of classes, but Katsuro had thought of going to the university posing as a new student. I lent him my clothes and the truth wasn't too bad for him.

—Look how the girls look at me—he presumed—how good it feels to have a human body, it's nothing compared to when I was in spirit, now I can touch things—you can tell how happy you were to feel new things—before that we continue I want to do something that all the time I wanted while he was in a spirit—he took my hand in a hurry towards a cafeteria.— I want one of those things—it was a hamburger.

"Seriously, did you bring me here for a hamburger?" He smiled at the things he wanted, he understood worse, the same thing happened to me when I was in his world—give me a double one to go—I ordered the waiter.

•

—The truth is that you humans manage well doing these things—he bit the hamburger again and again, he was enjoying it, he knew it by the expressions on his face in each bite—don't make fun of me, but I had always wanted to try this , How come you said they are called?

—Burger, Katsuro , they're called hamburger and now we're going for the kids who must already be in the classroom—we walked and suddenly Billy appeared. — What's wrong Billy?—I noticed that he was worried.

“They're here, I can feel it at high speed. The Volts were closing in, James.

Immediately I saw that the other boys were running in our direction, most likely their other puppets warned them in the same way.

"Katsuro ? " Kai frowned, "I didn't know you were here. "

— Yes , I forgot to tell you, Kai—we ran after the energy of the Volt.

•

"Hey Billy, are you sure we're headed in the right direction?" Because I see that we have been running for a long time and we have not yet reached where you say—we all ran at the same rhythm.

"You shouldn't be suspicious of my ability to detect the presence of these guys."

There was a truck parked near a street and there was a piece of clothing like the one we had discovered when that guy absorbed a person's soul.

—Do you think it was him ?— I took the clothes inspecting them, it was intact, but it was full of sand.

—You really don't get tired of following us, do you ?— That guy called Roshi was with a girl in his arms, apparently he was about to devour her soul, but we arrived just in time—they never let me eat comfortably, no I know what they have against us, we're just feeding ourselves like you do—he let go of the girl's body, she was unconscious from the spell he had cast on her.

"Who are you?" I asked in an arrogant manner, "You still haven't answered that, I've asked you and I don't know what the plan is that they're up to, besides, where's your friend I don't see him?"

—Have you ever been told that you ask too many questions in a short time? I do n't know you but now that I think about it I wanted to ask you a question. Do you think that the soul of a human is different from yours? Because the truth is that you look appetizing—immediately he used a whip that looked like the tail of a snake attacking us over and over again, as that whip did not connect with our bodies it split the pavement.

—I think its power lies in that whip that apparently is more of a snake than a whip— I explained to the boys.

—Well, you're not so bad, but it's not only that—said Roshi —if you think that's all I can do, you're very wrong—from the cracks he had made when he hit the pavement with his whip, many began to come out. black snakes there, it had been a trap from the beginning—my whip has the ability to turn everything into snakes, you are also capable of devouring their souls—suddenly we saw how everything around us began to turn into large snakes, but luckily we all used our powers to defend ourselves.

Roshi made a very smart move using his speed and in a great way positioned himself close to Kai, he launched a very large snake that would take his life, but I immediately moved forward cutting the snake in two.

—hey, Kai, why haven't you transformed yet or used some of the powers you have?— I wanted to know why from the beginning he hasn't defended himself, I've only seen him dodge the attacks.

"I…" I looked down sadly.

"What's wrong?" I yelled for him to react.

—For some unknown reason I have lost my powers, I try to use them, but they are useless—he hit the ground shaking his head—I wanted to tell you to avoid one more burden, sorry guys.

"None of that," Mike approached, "we're all a team here and you shouldn't feel bad about it, I know you 'll get them back."

—Have you said that this boy is the weakest among you ?— Roshi had heard our conversation—that seems Perfect to me, I like to attack the weakest, I wonder how his soul knows?—he ran his tongue over his lips thirsty for devouring it

Things were getting very bad, we did not count that a very important member would be affected by this situation, this just had to happen to Kai, when we needed it most, but we had to beat this guy, he had already done a lot to leave him to continue doing his misdeeds, but at the same time I was sad for what had happened to Kai, I put myself in his shoes and I'm sure he felt the worst, but here we were his friends. We wouldn't leave him alone.
