《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 61: Forward.
Advertisement
Tou started off, by equipping her Soul Emifer, the only armor SE known. When she first lunged at us, she was moderately slow, but the moment she took out her Soul Emifer, her speed tripled, and came infront of us, before we had time to react. She wacked me with her sword, whereas Untra dodged it. He smiled, and threw a blade at Tou, but she easily dodged it. I then activated Yagrik. I first did a simple manoeuvre, by making Yagrik transform into plenty of guns, and surrounded Tou with them, and at the snap of my fingers, they all started shooting. Yagrik's size was slowly diminishing, so to stop it, I took the bullet shells and bullets that were used by Yagrik, and converted it back into its raw form.
It seemed that none of the bullets hit Tou, but I continued to shoot them, because I could tell Untra had an idea. He looked for some rubble that may have been left, but he couldn't find any he liked. "Hey, Johnny, can you convert Yagrik into a bunch of tiny pebbles? Like, tiny as pebbles, but hard as diamonds?" I smirked, and gave him exactly what he wanted. "Thanks a lot, now continue to distract Tou." I did as told, without needing to be told. Tou seemed to be only focused on the bullets. I thought that Untra was going to throw the diamonds at her blind spot, but when I noticed a small facial expression on Tou's face, that thought was pushed out of my head, for now. She quickly ran out of the bullets, and sliced all the guns in half. "You forgot that I get stronger with each passing minute, Johnny?" I smiled. "No, I just wanted to buy time." I already knew what to do, because I discussed my part with Untra, and nothing else.
My job was simple. Stall Tou. I decided to fight myself this time. I had Yagrik hover behind me, but I faced Tou head-on. "So you're not going to double team me? How kind of you, but you might need to work together, you see, I'm different from before." I thought as much. I was also stronger, however. When she first charged towards me, it seemed pretty normal. I dodged it pretty easily. That wasn't the end of it. She continued to attack me, thrusting her sword continuously, trying to land a shot. I kept on dodging it, and this time, countered. I spun around, made a sword, and stabbed her. Instead of blood coming out, or her armor breaking, nothing happened. I increased the driving power, but still, nothing. "This armor is tougher than it looks." I smiled, and thought it might be necessary to test out my new work in progress move.
"Hey, Tou, let's try something now, shall we?" She seemed a bit confused at first. "Don't worry, this move only works with people who I've known for a while, like you, so you are one of the few to experience this thrill. I hope you enjoy." I grinned, and started laughing. With that, I stopped moving, and then looked up towards the sky, and called Yagrik out infront of me. "Yagrik, it's time you work hard. let's do it. Transformation! Tou's Armor!" She was surprised at the name. She laughed. "What, is this a fluke?" It wasn't that, not at all.

A great beam of light shone, and Yagrik was breaking in pieces. I felt the pain too, but it was necessary, to master this move. When the light dimmed, I was decked out in armor, the exact same, upto the micrometer of detail, as Tou's Soul Emifer. It took so much of Yagrik, that two of those pebbles were gone, and so was Mikasa's manga. She didn't come out though, probably because she noticed. I then used three more pebbles to make myself a sword, leaving Untra with only 3 left. "Sure, that's good enough, I suppose." He said. Tou was flabbergasted.
"How, how did you do it?" I laughed. "I trained for years with Mikasa, doing this was no simple feat I assure you, but it was worth it, now, let us dance." I readied myself as I did when I did fencing with Mikasa. I used a longsword, kind of like a rapier. It was something I could easily handle, and it was strong. Tou seemed a bit angry and told me that she won't accept a fake soul emifer copy. I took the first few hits, knowing that I couldn't block it with Yagrik, I believed in my own prowess in copying.
I felt power surge with each time she hit me. The pain gradually decreased, and the fun part was that she didn't stop, although she knew I was getting stronger. I was just waiting until our power was at an equal. After about a minute of tanking her attacks, I parried her next move by blocking the sword with my hand, and then with enough force, jabbing the weak point of her armor, which was around the left side of her armor, below her torso, but above the thigh. She winced at the pain, but didn't stop. I thought about it after a while, and then remembered the big weakness of this armor.
This time, I aimed all of my shots on her arms and legs, where the armor didn't protect her. Her movements were gradually decreasing, and mine were increasing quicker. "Wh...what's happening?" I smiled. "Do you not know the weakness of your own Soul Emifer? Your power only increases if the armor gets hurt, meaning if I don't touch the armor, you will never become stronger, but weaker. Anyways, you're finished." I jumped, and with a flash of light, I unequipped the armor, being left with Yagrik again. I recreated the manga for Mikasa, and reproduced the pebbles. "Why did you?" I then pointed towards Untra.
He smiled, and had the pebbles in his hands. He threw all of them towards Tou. "Is this a joke? Are you kidding with me?" The speed was roughly 60 km/h , but when it was about a meter away from her, I moved. I locked her position with Yagrik, by using a strong material to bound her on a rock wall, and then I changed the shape of the pebbles, into sharp needles, and then Untra used his Mind Emifer to increase it's speed ten fold. It easily pierced through Tou. We missed all of her vitals, but we hit such spots that she was immobilized. "Gah. Seems like I lost. I will win one day, though. But, just tell me, how?" I smiled.
"Untra can see the future, and he knew everything that was to happen. If he told me his plan, I would act according to that and it'll change the nature of the future, so he told me simply to stall time. This had no point in reality, except for one thing, and that was to lower your stamina, and weaken you. We didn't prepare a super strong attack or something, but a clever one. When I jumped, Untra invaded my mind and told me the rest of the plan. That's when I converted back to normal, and with that, this happened. In the end, you were to naive, Tou."

The guards were quite surprised. "A..and it seems the winners are of Untra and Johnny's Team! Let us congratulate them!" With that, all the walls fell down, and the others flooded in. Lily seemed emotionless as usual, Kuiy had a big grin on his face, and Jennifer rushed towards me, and then gave a big hug. "Well done, Johnny!" She said, smiling.
Untra's team didn't have the emotion as mine. They all just shook hands. When Tou was about to announce our positions, Hazen told me to meet him, and bring some friends as well. I told Kuiy, and Jennifer, as it seemed like Lily wasn't that interested. I whispered into Kuiy's and Jennifer's ear to meet me at the garden. They all nodded. "Excuse me, I have to go somewhere." They both followed with , "Yeah, me too." Tou didn't seem to interested. When I met with both of them, I told them. "I'm not so sure if you remember Hazen, Jennifer, but he's probably new to Kuiy. Hazen is the current Lord of the Humans, and I'm assigned as the vice-lord, and he's calling me right now. He told me to bring some friends, so I called you too, so will you come with me?" I reached out my hand, and Jennifer was the first to join hands, afterwards Kuiy did. Before I left, two more hands came in. One belonging to Lily, and the other to Untra.
"Don't go away without me, Johnny. I told Lily too, because I feel like she has a special role." Untra said. I was a bit surprised. "Don't you hate me?" He laughed, and patted my back. "Of course not! There aren't many people with your head Johnny, now, let's go, shall we?"
I smiled, and then looked up to the sky, and with Yagrik, I travelled upwards at an accelerating speed. I also put a spacesuit on everyone. "Where are we going?" Lily asked, and I told her we were going to the Headquarters. After a bit of travelling, I docked at a big shuttle. When we entered, I put Yagrik back into my rift. I haven't seen it in a while, and it looked as beautiful as it was before. It hard large marble walls, which were carved into alot of detail, with a blackish, futuristic floor. Although this was weak material, the exterior was made of a very strong material found within the Dragon Dimension.
I walked up towards the main room, and it scanned my eye. "Johnny, confirmed." An AI said, and the door hissed. There I saw Hazen standing up, looking towards the monitor. "Oh there he is, my friend Johnny! How are you doing? How's School? Seems like you made some new friends." Hazen said, looking towards Untra and Lily. Before he continued,he whispered in my ears, "Beware of that girl with the bandages, I sense a presence around her, that's always fighting. An aura of white around her is fighting against darkness continuously, merging and colliding, without end. Please, be careful." With that, he smiled and told us about the problem. "As you know, not all of the different dimensions were travelled through. As I recall, two are left, unknown by others." I looked around while he was talking, and then asked him something.
"Hey, where's your wife Juni?" I asked, and Hazen smiled. "She's out doing something for the Flugre's as of now, she'll come back later, no worries. Anyways, you do know what you have to do?" I replied that I did. "Good, so I want you guys to scout these dimensions to find out why a disturbance is being created." As he spoke of the dimensions I recalled when I was in the Demon Dimension, protecting Kurai Kyu, in which that voice of mine told me about travellng within those dimensions to understand more of this world, and to become a stronger individual.
After his long speech, he directed us towards our quarters. "After about three days we'll arrive there on this shuttle, and from that you will depart into the 7th Dimension, the Dimension of Lost Souls. May you survive, and find out why there is a disturbance." With that, he sent us out.
Kuiy seemed pretty amazed about which position I was in. "Well, I had a key role in the war between all species, led by the Reapers. He also was my teacher, so I have a debt to pay him. Anyways, get some rest guys, especially you, Untra. I can tell you exhausted quite a bit of your abilities, that Soul Emifer must have taken quite a toll on your mind." He smiled, and went into his room, to sleep. I told the rest to do the same, and they did. When I went to my quarter, I layed on my bed, thinking a bit. Just what could have happened? I assumed it was only Raizel, plotting something else, perhaps. My head was spinning a bit, but then a sudden throb came. My head felt like it was forcefully being invaded, but then I remembered that this happened before.
"What do you want, voice?" I said, letting him in, as to not cause so much pain.
Ah, my lamb, you finally embrace me. You are reaching closer to your goal, don't forget our promise. You must train. You still have a few years left, work harder, become stronger. Within this dimension, and the next dimension, you will learn more of your destiny, yet all will be revealed on the 800th, I believe you will find your path lamb, and herd back with the others.
With that, the voice seemed to leave my mind. The sudden peace came back, and the fact that there is almost no sound almost disturbed me. I was about to fall asleep until I heard a click. My door was opened by someone, by something. Who was it? What was it? All I knew was that I felt a murderous intent. I braced myself. When I flicked the light switch on, it was a friendly face.
"Yo!"
