TRACK 2 –

“Bankai!” Ichigo yelled, his form changing immediately

The Headmaster of SNES flared his power and his orange and silver streaked Affinity Power surrounded him, flashing blindingly for a moment then absorbing back into Ichigo. His ninja garb was gone and wasn’t replaced by samurai armor, instead the Master Ninja wore a long orange kimono, laced with silver and blue tinged lightning bolts. The hair on his head turned to flame and his became fiery pits with arcs of hissing electric arcs. Even his swords had changed, becoming long slender Katanas of equal size, matching the Headmasters colors of fire and lightning.

BANKAI (LEVEL MASTER) – Host uses their Affinity Power to change their appearance and Affinity level to their most powerful, third and final form. The hosts strength, speed, skill, and power to their maximum limits. This is skill is known only to the Miyamoto Clan.

“No fair Ichi, you always change first!” Headmaster Siegfried called, beginning his own transformation. “For Justice and Vengeance!”

Like his fellow Headmaster, Siegfried’s transformation was different this time. Gone was the heavily armed and armored Knight. When the golden glowing Affinity Power faded there stood Siegfried Draconis, brimming with power and standing like a vengeful god of old. He stood bare chested with a golden metal kilt and his hammer was gone, in its place was a shining golden axe. He truly resembled his legendary namesake, the barbarian hero of old Siegfried the Dragon Sayer. My Master loved old Conan the Barbarian movies. This was the living embodiment of that fierce warrior.

LEGENDARY AVATAR (LEVEL MASTER) – Host sacrifices a portion of their consciousness in exchange for becoming an avatar for a legendary hero. By doing so the power of the legendary hero and the host merge and become a multiplication of both. The new being takes on the visage of the legendary hero.

“Come on Simon boy-o, time waits for no man!” Siegfried called, swinging his axe in a huge arc, flaring his Affinity Power, and leaping off into the air, streaking towards the NRE ships and fighters.

Following the trend set by his two friends, Lord Belmonte nodded stoically, and power shot out of him, enveloping him in his Affinity Power, black, silver and white light encased the giant man.

“FF Limit Break!” Damon Belmont called, as his voice and AP trailed behind him like an after image.

FF LIMIT BREAK (LEVEL MASTER) – By defeating the godlike FF beings the host completed the contract with those beings of the Affinity Plane. Host takes on attributes and gains power of the FF beings but retains all control over his mind and body. Hosts Affinity Magic and Affinity Power become almost immeasurable in the normal realm.

He was already streaking after Ichigo and Siegfried before his Affinity Power had stopped flashing. When it finally resolved itself and flowed into his skin, it revealed the Headmaster’s new form. One huge feathered wing, as black as night, but shimmering with silver light and crackling with sparks of white energy, protruded from Damon’s bare back. Gone was his trench coat, now he was bare chested and wore only his battle pants and boots. Covered in glowing Affinity Energy, Damon stopped in between his two friends.

The Neo Rus attackers began to pull back, all the ships and ABBA’s even the Dreadnaught, when the Headmasters entered the fray. The three teachers, who had been fighting against almost overwhelming odds, received a respite, as they moved over to Belmont and the others.

“Nice of you boys to join us.” Ms. Parker, also known as Lady Death, quipped as she arrived, a wry grin of relief across her face.

Mr. Samson and Mr. Austin arrived with similar looks right behind her. The group hovered in the air and watched the retreating enemy.

“It looks like…” Damon Belmont began, but stopped as the enemy stopped retreating and a new Affinity Power, the color of a bloody sun, erupted on the deck of the Dreadnaught.

The view zoomed in and showed a humungous man in the center of the Affinity Power’s blossom. His power was enormous, at least as strong as that of the Headmasters. He wore clothing that made him look like an officer straight out of WW2 movie, except the cape that hung from his broad shoulders. The man looked like a posterchild a warrior from those movies, even the scars crisscrossing his cheek screamed SS.

“Good Afternoon gentlemen and lady.” The huge man’s voice boomed out across the whole aerial battlefield. “Thank you for having us for breakfast.” He laughed for a moment then began speaking again. “My name is Commodore Vladimir Stalin. It is a pleasure to meet all of you. Especially you, Lord Damon Belmont.”

The glowing blood red man finished, flaring his power and leaping into the air, then streaking towards the Faculty. It was some sort of prearranged signal and all seven of the NRE-FAAG’s began to glow a different color on the Affinity spectrum. The Dreadnaught, the WA Main Tower, and Commodore Stalin also began to glow brighter than ever.

The ships spun in place, the retreat had been a ruse, and now they were in position surrounding the WA Faculty. The NRE Commodore flew through the sky, glowing with AP, stopping just a hundred feet from the teachers.

“I don’t know what you think you’re doing…” Belmont started shouting, but the NRE Affinity Magic

“Just humor me Lord Belmont.” Commodore Staling yelled, cutting off the WA Headmaster.

He raised his hands and his Affinity Power flared brightly, shooting out from him and the NRE ships. Giant lines of magical force, pulsing with Affinity Power, connected the ten different NRE enemies in moments. Each NRE-FAAG was connected and lines shot to the Dreadnaught, the Commodore, and then the Warrior Academy Main tower to complete a decagon. The WA Faculty were surrounded by glowing lines of Affinity Magic.

“This is bad.” Ichigo said to his friends.

“That depends on your point of view.” The Commodore’s voice boomed. “You see, from my position it is quite good. Now, on with the show! Gulag Affinity Teleport Enforcement!”

GULAG AFFINITY TELEPORT ENFORCEMENT

A mass creation spell, developed by the Neo Rus Empire, for imprisoning can transporting their dissidents and enemies of the state. By combining all different types of Affinity Magic and directing it, the GATE spell sends the targets of the spell into the Affinity Realm encased in a prison of Affinity Magic powered by the captives own Affinity Power.

All three Headmasters flared their power and rushed the glowing Commodore, all three hit the man like freight trains, tri-colored AP exploding in blinding flashes of power.

When the light subsided and the view cleared, shocked gasps and soft curses sounded around the Infirmary. I echoed the sentiments, shook my head and refocused on the screen. The glowing lines of force were still there, now twice as large and surrounding the Faculty on all sides now, in a three-dimensional decagon cage. Commodore Stalin was guffawing loudly while the Headmasters and other teachers were back in the center of the cage. When the NRE commander finally got ahold of himself he grinned malevolently at the trapped teachers.

“Goodbye Headmasters, I will take good care of your students.” Commodore Stalin hissed nastily, an oily smile across his face. He raised his hands and gestured, then the lines of the cage began to pulse and shine at a greater intensity then before.

“You won’t get away with this.” Damon Belmont raged at the NRE leader.

“Is that so? Well, you won’t be around to see if that happens or not. So long losers.” Commodore Stalin said, waving and mocking them.

The view centered in on the Headmaster of Warrior Academy and he turned as if realizing that we were all looking at him. His visage turned hard and his eyes looked like they were made of steel.

“Never surrender, ever, always fight, you are Warriors! Return and avenge us but for now… run!” Lord Belmont yelled, thrusting his sword into the air, his gesture followed by Ichigo, Siegfried, Ms. Parker, Mr. Austin, and Mr. Samson.

The cage started to shine like a miniature sun and then began to pulsate, in and out of reality, then a flash and strike of thunder sounding like the hammer of god, and they were gone.
