HellHunters Neo 32 32: Crossblade

Saku took a moment to focus his senses to what was coming when a large cresent shape of energy ripped across the ground. Saku instantly dove to the side not sure of its magical energy as he wasn't sure what it was. He followed it to its intended target. Saku rolled to his feet lifting his hand to snap when he realized s.h.i.+ndow has already gotten infront of the energy. s.h.i.+ndow's hand blocked the energy wave deflecting it off to the left. There at the other end of where the attack came from stood a man with a large blade in his hand. the handle made a hook like shape while the hilt was a large wolf head with the sword jutted out its mouth. His armor glowed a light green color just around the trim as he slowly walked forwards."So all this time I thought you had been sealed away in the demon realm you actually been hiding here. Oh Great Demon Lord s.h.i.+ndow A Hara... or should I say... Azumael?" said the glowing man. He lifted his sword causing sparks of green energy from the earth. "I see some past grievinces cannot be let go can they? You still plan to hunt me til one of us dies? How long do you think that mind set will last? I came to this world for peace and if it wasn't for these idiots I would have kept it. So I am guessing if your hear its not on orders?" said s.h.i.+ndow as he was matching the man's steps.

"Now on what earth do you think they would allow you to not only run around freely with your sons? Now that we have proof you have no real ties to the human world. Seeing that your lover is a kitsune. Though I wish I didn't have to go about your surrender but your death. Those high ups feel your more of an a.s.set alive then dead." said the man stopping only about 30 ft away from s.h.i.+ndow.

The two were staring the other down as the dust was blown about by the helicopter. Saku was about to move when he felt something send chills down his spine. He turned to see Sasryl whose hairs were spiked up. As he looked at the direction she was looking he could see a smaller boy roughly 15 to 16 years old. He looked like the other male but he was smaller and with blond hair. He was carrying a big blade wrapped in cloth that oozed with killer's intent. The blood l.u.s.t from the sword even made Saku instinctively grab his hilt.

s.h.i.+ndow raised a hand out to block Saku's view looking over his shoulder to him. He sent a mental link out to connect with Saku for a moment. "Listen to me now... you need to grab Riku and tell Sasryl to run onto the shelter. It can withstands from me at 65% power. If you fought with them not only would it result in your death but have at 45% chance you take one of them with you. I am gonna power up the system to open a gate back to the demon world. We have to go other wise we will lose and so won't the humans."

Saku nodded as he bit his inner cheek. He hated the idea of taking orders from s.h.i.+ndow but with Riku down. He would be forced to have to fight shackled and so would s.h.i.+ndow. This would put them at a major disadvantage. Saku snapped his finger causing time to slow down around him til it was nearly at a complete stop. His body moved over to Riku quickly scoping him up and rus.h.i.+ng to the shelter. once he set Riku down he could feel time return to normal. Those within the s.h.i.+p were scared of the sudden appearance of Saku but also Riku limp on the bed. He raised his hand to skip time when he realized nothing happened except the lights on the s.h.i.+p suddenly turned on. He blinked before stepping out of the shelter. He looked up to see s.h.i.+ndow and the man still having a stare down.

"You think that I didn't notice your little cretin was moving your son out of the way. So either your preparing to fight or... your going to sacrifice yourself to escape on the pretty little s.h.i.+p of yours." He said before holding up a cube. "How about we show the world of who you really are..." as he spoke a large glow of light shot into the air making a large screen.

The demon world still did no have the sun so when a large s.h.i.+p came into view floating over the sky it caused a bright light to s.h.i.+ne over the darkened area. A beam of light guided down to the land as men jumped down into the light slowly floating down to the planet. once on the ground they had glowing weapons that lit the area up like fire. After a short period of securing the area they began dropping boxes that formed a camp like base for a futuristic world.

They were testing the air and soil to see if the area was inhabitable. Sadly what they didn't know was their lights were drawing in ragers. after about at least six hours into their investigation a large creature screamed causing many of them to draw their weapons. The creature swatted away one that even with his armor it was like swatting a fly. The body hit the near by rocks causing a crack and splat sound that seemed to echo through the heart of each one there. They quickly swarmed the beast killing it as their weapons seemed to slice through its hide like b.u.t.ter.

Even with managing to kill it so quickly the squad of 15 was now down one. Before they had time to really a.n.a.lize the creature another howl followed by more. they quickly realized that the area they had landed in was full of hostile natives that they attempted to pack up their supplies. The second ragers appeared out of the darkness crus.h.i.+ng on of the stations they had. it was larger with tenticles flowing like hair. Its tenticles grabbed on of the men lifting him into the air before slamming him to the ground. It repeated this process over and over til the flesh leg tore from the body leaving the rest of it mangled on the ground. a few of the men quickly fired rounds of what seemed like light into the creature. The rager fell as the light burned through its body and out the other side. Just as that one fell another three appeared from the darkness rus.h.i.+ng towards the group.

As the ragers rushed in the group managed to put them down now being on high alert. The ragers died but it was obvious the group was beginning to become over whelmed. The was about 7 left in the whole group as their guns had ran dry. It was at this point did a boy about 10 years old. jump down from the s.h.i.+p carrying a pair of glowing daggers. He landed down before rus.h.i.+ng at one of the ragers. His movement was fluid slipping past their attacks before his dagger would plung into their heart. Those who were still able to fight moved towards the transport light knowing that this was their chance to escape. They lifted up into the s.h.i.+p leaving one man and the boy to keep fighting as they were slowly getting closer to the light. One rager swung out and hit the boy launching him into the man. The two fell over as the air was knocked out of the man. The boy groaned as he quickly got up grabbing his father's armor collar. He tossed his father like a ragdoll into the light.

Just as the boy was about to follow suit he was smacked up against a rock causing it to shatter from the force. The boy flopped onto the ground behind it feeling the bones in his arm had shattered. The more painful part of it was his body healing pulling those bones back into place. He wanted to scream in pain but he realized the ragers were focused on destroying the machines left in camp. He struggled to get to his feet when he realized one of his legs were broken as well. His hopes of escaping had not given up as the boy crawled along the ground. To his dismay his dagger in his hand activated causing the glowing light to draw the attention of one of the ragers. It turned and howled causing another one beside it to turn as well.

The two were about to move when their heads seemed to fall off their necks. He was losing focus from the pain but he could see a figure moving through the darkness. It was not only cutting off their heads but stabbing into their hearts. The black shadow landing in front of the boy as an unarmored man dressed in all black robes that were tattered and old. As the image aimed to the head it was a younger version of s.h.i.+ndow as his violet purple eyes were unmistakeable.

"Its better to hide in the shadows then to s.h.i.+ne in the night here." said s.h.i.+ndow whose hands reached out and lifted the boy before walking towards the light lift. The two headed up the s.h.i.+p before the light disappeared and the s.h.i.+p flew into the sky.
