CHAPTER 3
Cesiar's eyes narrowed as he tightened his grip on his sword.
Cessiar: (got angry) "of all people... why him."
Cecilia landed beside him, frowning.
Cecilia: "this isin't good..."
Hiro stepped forward, the strange blade still glowing in his hand. He lowered into a fighthing stance and drew in a slow breath, shutting his eyes as if to focus.
Cecilia: "staycalmcessiar.Rememberhe mayhave thatsword butthatdosen't meanhe knows how to use it."
Cessiar's smile curled up into a smirk."you're right sis. I'm still the better fighter here.( his laugh was low and cruel), this wont take long."
Hiro's eyes snapped open, burning red and he launched forward with sudden extreme speed. Before cessiar could react, Hiro fist slammed into his gut with a deep thud. Cessiar doubled over, Coughing blood. "Argh-!"
Hiro glared at him, eyes still glowing red. Cessiar staggered back, fury rising.
Cessiar: "YOU LITTLE...!" ( he roared, swinging his sword in a wide arc that smashed into the ground, carving out a smoking crater. But when he look up Hiro had vanished). "Huh!? Where did he-?
"Cessiar, behind you!" Cecilia shouted.
Hiro blurred back into view right in fromt of him, eyes burning hotter. Hia ahout echoed through the forest as he spun and delivered a crushing roundhouse kick to cessiar's face. The demon crashed to the ground with a grunt.
Shaking with rage, cessiar scrambled up, sword raised. "You... you...YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!" He bellowed,lunging at Hiro with a slash meant for his head.
But Hiro's eyes slid shut again. With calm precision he sidestepped every blow, letting the blade whistle past by inches. Cessiar roared in frustation, unleashing a furry of strikes but Hiro blocked the final swing with his own glowing sword. Steel clashed with sparks that lit the shadows.
Cecilia: (eyes widened) "How is this possible? He's just a nkrmal human... he shouldn't have this kimd of strenght!"
Hiro's eyes snapped open again, now a fierce icy blue. His grip on the sword tightened as he let out a raw, wordless scream that seemed to shake the trees. Cessiar flinched and leapt back, but Hiro surged forward and struck in a blur-slashes cutting across cessiar's guard again and again. Blood streaked the demon's armor as he collapsed to the dirt, unable to rise.
Hiro stepped toward him to finish the fight-raising his sword high-when a bolt of lightning struck from above. The blast threw Hiro back, his scream tearing through the clearing as he hit the ground hard.
Gasping, cessiar looked around. "Wh-what was that!?
Cecilia landed in front of his brother, her own hand craking with sparks."That was me. I just save your useless ass again."
"I was doing fine," cessiar muttered, glaring.
"You let your anger blimd you. You almost died,you fool." She shot him a scolding glare before turning back to Hiro and momo." I don't care about the girl anymore. Let's end this."
Momo crawled over to Hiro, wrapping her arms around him to shield him.
"Stop...please," she whispered,trembling.
Hiro stirred weakly, his voice ragged."M-Momo...run...leave now..."
She shook her head, holding him tighter."No. I'm not letting you get hurt anymore."
Cecilia's eyes flashed.
"Say good bye, foolish mortal!" She hurled a crackling bolt straight at them.
"Momo..." Hiro's voice was barely a whisper as he shut his eyes.
A second lightning bolt streaked down out of nowhere, colliding midair with cecilia's blast. The clash erupted in a thunderous explotion, shaking the ground. Smoke curled through the trees.
Cecilia steeped back, stunned. "What-? Who's there? Show yourself!"
The trees rustled, branches swaying as something leapt from trunk to trunk--to fast to see crearly. Cecilia, growing angrier, fired blasts of energy at the treeline. A sudden gust of wind slammed into her, knocking her iff balance.
When the dust settled, five figures stood between her and the wounded pair.
Cecilia's breath caught.
"...you five."
Momo's eyes went wide with relief--she knew those figures at once.
"H-Hiro... it's them...my sisters..."
Hiro tried to move but winced; the earlier strike had left him barely concious.
Cecilia rose to her feet, rage flashing in her eyes, but the newcomers didn't flinch.
Cecilia: " How dare ypu ambush me like that!" She snapped. "Do you even know who i am?"
Yuki folded her arms.
"Yeah.we knoew exactly who you are."
"Then you should know better than to anger me." Cecilia hissed.
Kana smirked
"And what will you do--throw another one of those pathetic lightning blast? Don't make us laugh."
Cecilia sneered
"That pathetic blast was enough to drop that miserable boy." She gestured toward Hiro with a mocking laugh. "Look at him--barely hanging on."
Kana turned to Momo and Hiro.
"You ok momo?"
Momo nodded weakly. "I'm fine...but Hiro-?
Yuki placed a reassuring hand on her sister's sholder.
"He'll be all right, we'll take it from here."
Lily clenched her fist, sparks dancing around her body.
"I think it's time to semd them back to the pits where they came from."
Cecilia laughed harshly.
"Oh, please. If you think that you can defeat me, you're even more of a fool than i thought."
Akari relloed her eyes. "You talk to much."
Cecilia expression hardened.
" your stupid attitude is getting on my nerves."
Akari: "then do something about it."
Cecilia: (pointed her hand at her) "your'e goingto regtredchallinging me...INFERNAL FIRE STRIKE"!!!!!( a massive fire blast was heading towards her).
Kana: (her body started to glow a crystal blue light as she began to cast a spell) "MYSTIC ARTS, CRYSTAL WALL"!!!!( an ice crystal wall apeard in front of her as the fire blast clashed with it).
Cecilia: (lowered her hands down) "soyou know howto use magic as well"....
Yuki: (looking directly at cecilia) "not just her, all of us do too".
Cecilia: "that's still not enough power to defeat me".
Asuka: ( took on step forward and took her red katana out pointing at cecilia as spoke with authority) " enough talk, will give youtwooptions... take your brother and leave or deal with the 4 of us, your choice".
Cecilia just ketp quiet while grasping her sword, she was was completly frustrated knowing that her brother was injured and she was alone but she didn't care, all she wanted was to destroy them all.
Asuka:(her voice got deeper) "so you chose option 2...how sad.(her body was cover by a red aura as her her eyes turned yellow).
Cessiar: (struggling to get up) "cecilia stop, will deal with them some other time, let thwm have this one for know".
Cecilia considered her brothers word's, she help cessiar to maintain his balance and ooen a portal, she started to walk to it but stop in midway and with a cold tone she spoke to them, "this isint over yet we will return so you better be ready becasue th next time we meet, you'll die".
Cecilia entered the portal and then closed, the girls walk to where Hiro and momo were
Yuki: (she knelt next to momo) "im glad your ok momo".
Lily put her hand on her hips and looked at Hiro who was unconcious on the floor next to momo what was that idiot thinking...taking those 2 all on his own...
Akari: he was just trying to protect momo.
Asuka: yeah but still...he could have gotten his self killed....
Lily: yeah no kidding he's lucky.
Yuki: ( look at the sword) is that what I think it is?...
Asuka: yeah...I'm not sure what's going on here but we need to take him to yui so she can heal him and then talk to iris about what happened...
They all nodded in agreement.
Asuka: (close her eyes) I suppose you 3 want to tag along?.
Out of the bushes jason, Kyle and Casey came out.
Asuka: you must be hiros friends correct?
Casey: ( she nodded nervously) yes we are..
Kana: ( walk to her and put her hand on her shoulder) don't worry we won't hurt you.
Casey: i'm worried about hiro...he looks like he's about to....
Asuka:
He won't....he's just unconscious that's all..now come on we need to go back to the garden...there lots to do,( she picked him up and stared to walk back to the garden).
Casey: ( in her mind) please hiro be ok.
Kyle: (in his mind) hang in there buddy we are here with you.
