《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 55: A New Leaf
Advertisement
As we brought the Bus over to the Demon's , I was able to tell that they were panicking, because now the situation was dire, oh so dire indeed. When we reached there, Trinity told us she was staying at the Bus, to co-ordinate the troops from there. After that, Jennifer and I both went to go and lead the army. to get the Kurai Kyu. "There system has a big control room, somewhere in the center of the building. I want you guys to go to that control room. In there, there would be a certain panel which has the position of Kurai Kyu. It would be easier to simply break through it, but be careful not to cut any wires, because any of them could be a defense system." and with that, we both seperated. Jennifer went more for the intiative and went directly against Johnny, however I went agaisnt Mikasa and Hazen. When we parted our ways, I took the lead of the Eastern side, and she went towards the west, the same position her illusion went.
The illusions on our side were starting to fade away, so we had to actually try. I sent in the troops first off, to see how they would react, but Mikasa nor Hazen were fazed, they just continued killing them, making there bodies pile up. A few of them managed to scratch them, but other than that, they couldn't do nothing. I had to play then. "Michael, you here?" but of course, he wasn't , he is always with Trinity, and he would always hide. To be honest, ever since seeing his SE activated, he didn't do anything. He didn't speak, nor did he participate in any events, he would just hide with Trinity.
"Hey, Mikasa, let's play, like we did before, how about it?" I said, walking, crushing the bodies beneath my feet, as there were no other place to go to. "Oh, sure, may as well add another number to the piles of bodies." and with that, we both readied our weapons, she used her fists, as she couldn't find a spare sword, a weapon she was well familiar with. I used my scythe, as usual. "This Scythe has reaped more souls than the amount of times you punched an object. You really think, that I, the Lord of the Reapers, and the man with the highest Reap Count, would lose to someone like you, you Abnormal?" and she was shook, as she didn't hear that word in a while. "Do.. not... mention that word, I didn't want to do this, but I'll actually try, how about that? I didn't want to fight you, but you forced me. Johnny hasn't seen this, either." and with that, she called out her Soul Emifer.
It was a pair of swords, dual swords. "These little weapons are my children. They do what I ask, whenever I need them to. They are both, great. This one... is Shachi, and that, Kusanagi. You haven't met them in a while, nor have they played with someone, too. So, let's have some fun, shall we?" and she went into her battle stance, I haven't seen it, in like, 300 years, since the Great War. "Yes, yes.. now, let's dance." and I went for the intiative. I haven't activated Kyoka Suru, which was a mistake. When I went for the attack, she managed to deflect it, just barely, and countered with a piercing blow, which managed to pierce through my skin, and the pain surged through my body. "Shachi loves piercing, he also inflicts poison, Kusanagi has a normal strong bite, see?" and she stabbed me with her other sword, and the pain from that side was triple this pain. "Gahhh! Damnit, I shouldn't have underestimated you, but you too, did the same. My turn, now." and with that, I activated Kyoka Suru.

I felt the surge of power, which reminded me, of my strength. The pain vanished, and the poison too, was negated. "Ahh, so you weren't actually trying, were you?" and she smiled, and readied herself for defense, which was a big mistake, on her part. I managed to go for a full on charge, and with that, I attacked her, with all my force, and it cracked Kusanagi, which shocked her, and then she took the full blunt of the attack, creating a gaping wound on her.
"Tch! Seems like, for now, you have the win... I'll be back though, sooner or later. Remember, I haven't gone full power, not yet, atleast." and with that, she walked away. I didn't try to stop her, because I know what happens when she is angry, even I would have problems defeating her, let alone killing her. I then went, to meet up with Hazen, who seemed weakened , heavily, by the clones. "Oh... Hazen? I thought you, the Human Lord, was a bit stronger than this, well, may as well claim your life." and with that, I charged at him. He didn't react, he didn't move, he didn't say anything, which confused me good. I stopped right next to the body of Hazen, and swiped it lightly with my scythe.
"Shit! Dried blood, well played..." Hazen was a good artist, so he could easily make impressions of himself. The moment, I slashed at it, then he came out of a pile of dead people. "To think you were fooled so easily..." he said, coming towards me, slashing at me with a weapon. He got me, although I had a high reaction speed. After that, I didn't get attacked by any of his moves. He hadn't activated the Lord powers, nor did I , but we still had an intense clash.
I was getting the upper, though as he couldn't hit me, but the poison from Shachi was hurting, alot, actually. I guess it wasn't fully neutralized. He managed to get a few more slashes , making me bleed, and whenever I would cut him, he would cover it with Ketsueki. After about an hour of fighting, I didn't notice Jennifer return, so I supposed she was taken captive. I then quickly left, because it seemed as though I was the only one left, save for the others up in the Bus. "We will continue this later, Hazen.. for now, you may live.." and with that, I left. "So, what happened?" Trinity asked, and I told her about the situation.
"Damn, those two, and Johnny too, he tricked me with the Kurai Kyu, blew up my clone. Well, I think we should retreat, we don't have time to gather those bodies, we will find Kurai, and then we can go. Those clones and others wont be of help to us either, and since the entire place has already been seiged, with no finding of Kurai, I suppose we should leave, what do you think?" but I didn't want to. I wanted to burn the place to the ground, or atleast attempt to find Kurai. "We have enough troops, and they have already seemingly vanished, isn't this a perfect opportunity?" but she ignored the fact, saying its useless, but then we saw something, something... horrible, but good for us .

We saw on the side that there were 5 buses lined up, and in 4 of them , there were citizens, yet in the middle one, there was Mikasa,Hazen,Skiean,Nium, and Jennifer in a bed. Johnny however, collapsed on the stairs, and was stuck there, unable to move. The buses left, and he was stuck there, and I was thankful we were far away. "As I thought... shit." and she started backing away slowly. In about 5 seconds, the whole city went up in flames, as if it was nuked.
Johnny was there, so Trinity thought about taking the Kurai from him, because most likely he had it. "No, it's to dangerous, we may as well die, let's leave for now. I call this war, an end. We managed to defeat our enemies, but failed to tackle the Demons, and didn't get time to conquer it. We will take it, a later time. We have a few years left, and Kagayaku is still with us, which is plenty. To be honest, I wanted Kurai just to weaken Johnny, we don't need it." and with that the war was called off.
We first went into the other dimensions to make a general pardon, telling them that the war has now been declared over, and that they will remain dormant for the next 5 years, in that time, they may do whatever they like. This was the time, our time to turn a new leaf. "Trinity, I want you to spy on Johnny. Use Iansis or something to warp your face, or something like that. His school is re-opening soon, I think it's best we watch our primary enemy. Can you do that? I'll take care of Michael, and make him aware of his strength, and make him a stronger boy, someone who can support us later, else, you remember our deal..." and with that, I swooshed my cape, and went off.
We are now to try and make peace. We are still war-hungry people, but we will turn over a new leaf, we will become calmer, and helpful, to try and regain there trust in these 5 years, because they know after that, it will be the next Great War, and, the person who knows most about it, is in fact Gabriel, and he would most likely not want to have another war that drastic. The memories of that war reminded me of my past, it was a happy past, but that war, it changed everything, and after that war, I was accompanied by Trinity, by surprise, amazed, but then again, she was someone, who I was meant to target.
She was the soul I had to reap. She was hollow, doing nothing but supporting Michael while she was human. She never felt, nor did she need anything, but all she thought about was Michael. I had to reap her, in order to give her the life she needed, but she rejected it, as a result, I reaped them both, and lost my title as a reaper, but managed to be the Lord, which was by strength alone.
Trinity went and packed her bag, as tomorrow she was going to school. "Michael will be with me, okay? I'll enroll him in the highschool, don't worry, he is a very... clever boy," she said, which made me less stressed, but still, I had so much to do. "Man, I took this title just for the power, never did I think I had to do so much work, especially after this war. I now have to move and help re-construction. You guys, have fun at school, okay?" and with that, they went to sleep, as going from the Reaper Dimension to Earth dimension, with just the two of them, will take around 6 hours, and school starts at 7 AM, so they had to get a good sleep.
I myself started to work on paperwork, and started to prepare buses filled with reapers meant to help in construction. "Any act of violence goes against our pledge, and as so, that person will be executed on the spot, so please, do this in a calm and gentle matter. If there is any problems, report to me, that's all." and with that, they were sent. I started flicking my pen around, bored. I then looked at the paperwork, and saw a small message, a message I've forgot about, for a very long time, I kept it with me always. It filled me with pleasure:
Please, don't forget me, I will always love you, remember that.
The memories gushed in, and I couldn't stop myself from crying. "Thank god there is no one here to see me at such a state, this is embarrassing," I said, wiping the tears, and then I went to bed, knowing I have alot of work to do. "Man, Hazen, you, how could you. You didn't let me have any fun, no fun at all," I then set aside the picture next to my bed, and went to sleep.

Hush | on hold
"Your name?"When I stayed silent, he repeated himself. "Your name?""Jeyri." I let out quietly."And last name?""Rae...""Jeyri Rae..." He crouched down next to me and moved the hair from in front of my face, "I dislike when things get difficult, I end up doing things I'd much rather not do. Do you want to know what happened to the last person who made things difficult for me, hmm?" He asked, leaning into me. Is he talking about me calling the cops? He pressed his gun against my head and frowned, "You get it don't you?"I nodded quickly. "Good... And if you tell anyone what you saw today, I'll know." He pressed his finger against my lips and smiled, "So hush."

Ancient Mana Dungeon Core.
Yes the tags are necessary, they will make sense eventually too. Art is not mine, found it on pintrest btw the title on the thing apparently has no name, or at least no title that you can search, at least, but i found this: ‘ArtStation - [UE4] Lost Temple Ruins Jonas Axelsson’ (if your curious I was searching ancient temple game art when i found it don’t bother clicking the link on the thing that says facebook, it does not work) (i will not lie this is kinda my first publication so go easy on me). A while ago I fell in love with the Dungeon Core stories and decided: ‘Heck, why not make my own spin on things!’ and so i started brainstorming what to do and i kinda just found the idea for the story during it. This is the story of a guy named Michael Alex (not a typo that is the name I will be using for him) he was an avid fiction writer and reader who was just sitting on his couch playing a puzzle game on his phone called: Ruins of Drailmor Keep (a three in one deal: tower defence, Puzzle (mazes generally), and world building (namely building on the ashes of fallen empires and regulating certain things while the waves of enemies keeps coming back to burn it down and ruin it just like the curse would while ocasionally sending out your own monsters to get rare rescources)) when he gets an alert and well one thing leads to another and he died to a freak avalanche. He then comes into contact with the universe's will (basically something that *insert your prefered deity here* cooperated with to make the world (heaven, hell, the mortal world, yggdrasil, basically every "world" that has been made (in reality, mythology, games, books, cartoons/movies, and memes!) but also had a mind of its own at the same talk.) and Michael and the Universe’s Will talked and this story is about the outcome of said discussion.
