" Charmy, get those three out of here and back to the village I'll buy you time!" Kibana shouted as she looked at the shorter Black Bull girl as the taller one had hoisted Kagura over her shoulder " Don't take too long getting back Kibana" the taller one said as Charmy had created a large floating cotton cloud as she helped Fuegoleon and Leo aboard " Come on Vanessa" Charmy hurried the taller Black Bull mage who gently set the armored Kagura down onto the cloud " Let's get going " Vanessa replied as Charmy nodded and began to steer the floating cloud back towards the village.

" alright bug face, let's see how you fair against someone who can keep knocking you back!" Kibana smirked before diving towards Gojitu, still within her wind empress armor, throwing several slashes into the creatures chest which each attack pushed it back more and more before Kibana let loose a strong wind that carried the spider creature far into the forest. She then cast a cage of steel around Gojitu suspending it in midair " That should hold em for a bit " Kibana muttered before turning towards the village " I should probably wait for them to come back " she murmured to herself

-------------------------------------------------

" We're back to square one " a deep voice sighed, masculine

Darkness surrounded everything, his body lie motionless, face down, unaware of his surroundings, all he knew was that this may have been his punishment for his cocky attitude, Kagura opened his eyes , unable to move, as he felt weak and powerless

" Hey kid, you awake? " the voice asked

Kagura had blinked once before being rolled over, his head being propped on a leg " Wake up " the voice chuckled as Kagura starred up towards the voice's owner to see a demonic being sitting there while he let Kagura rest his head upon the its lap

" Susanno...." Kagura spoke softly before coughing " save your strength, it seems Asura did a number of your body using all that magic, and containing your body within Kuuga's body to reseal him it wasn't easy..." Susanno replied before looking at Kagura " Your body is slowly regenerating those wounds while the armor is on but the moment you return to the world you must defeat that vermin.....the longer you take the more of your mana and strength that will be drained inside the armor. " Susanno added as Kagura feel silent before asking " What....what was that thing?....a being that can absorb magic and get stronger..." He asked as Susanno narrowed his eyes as the darkness became light and in front of the two was another person, leaning against a katana " Your awfully rude Susanno.."

" Asuramaru you should be the last to say rude, we had a deal" Susanno spoke as he growled lowly " Sorry Sorry, I got a little agitated seeing seeing Zeba's henchmen " Asuramaru sighed " Your an irritating boy, but I guess I should've expected that, but next time ask for permission before taking over, it's already a strain enough that he can use your magic, but he's harboring mine as well, if one of us take full control longer than the oth-" " Yada yada he could die, I get it, but what are we going to do about Zeba's minion?" Asura asked and Susanno grinned " That's for our host here to deal with. " Asura had looked at Kagura " He's not in condition Su" Asura replied before shivering feeling a snake head bite down on his neck causing Susanno smirk. The snake heard was connected by a ominous green chain which originated from Susanno's palm" He will be soon" Susanno's smirk turned deadly, following Asura's dramatic scream.

-------------------------------------------------

" I appreciate your help.." Fuegoleon spoke, as he starred at the Black Bulls women while they transported he and his two brothers towards the village " Ah, don't mention it, but don't mind me asking what brings the Crimson Lion our all the way here?" Vanessa asked as she just finished patching Leo's tattered clothing " a mission obviously; originally all we had to do was stop some boars but Fuegoleon had a hunch that the abnormal amount of boars around were being created by magic, next thing we know we find some creepy bug guy who created the board and can absorb magic " Leo explained which Vanessa seemed surprised and instantly became concerned " That....' thing ' can absorb magic?...Kibana's in trouble " she muttered to herself. Fuegoleon had looked towards Kagura, seeing his brother in that white armor still he narrowed his eyes ' why hasn't it come off yet...' he thought to himself before his eyes widened in surprise seeing the crack that breastplate carried had slowly began to fix itself to its original state following next was Kagura instantly sitting up " Jaden!" Fuegoleon exclaimed which Kagura suddenly said " Where is it?" He asked " Don't worry Kiba has got it under control" Charmy smiled as she steered her cotton cloud " Not likely " Kagura stood before starring back out into the forest " Take me back..." he told Charmy " Are you insane? It almost killed y-" " If you wont take me back there, I'll just go myself...if we go back to the village, once it gets past your friend it's definitely going to go after the villagers " Kagura clenched his fist as Vanessa just blinked in pure shock " I only a limited time before this....form starts eating me away....but I think I know what it's purpose is....and I'm going to take that thing down....even if it kills me" Kagura said " Jeez.....Charmy you heard him " Vanessa shook her head softly as Charmy smiled " aye aye " the shorter female replied turning their cotton flotation around and heading back towards where they their squad mate and Gojitu. ' Even if I I'm not positive on what it is...I'm the only one who can take it out...but can I really do it... ' Kagura thought himself ' my reequip magic wont effect it nor will my Magma magic...though it seems this armor...this form, as long as I don't cast a spell my magma can't be absorbed but just how long can I last with my body being drained ' Kagura was soon slapped in the back of the head " DON'T SECOND GUESSING YOURSELF AT A TIME LIKE THIS!" Fuegoleon shouted as he could tell Kagura was harboring a shocked expression under his helmet " You maybe our only hope, don't forget that, it is a heavy burden yes but you must carry it! Remember why you came so far, not to fall, but to show everyone you aren't weak, no matter what drawbacks or obstacles you or anyone else set, you must overcome them, and grow" these words had made Kagura just chuckle before he starred down towards the ground " You never change do you.....Onii-Chan..." Kagura replied to which Fuegoleon smiled. " I'll see you guys when you catch up..." Kagura said as he balled his right hand into a fist and yellow lightning began to spark around his armor, channeling towards his right fist, as his arm brace had turned golden "

Your in no condition t-" Vanessa's words went unheard as Kagura jumped off the cotton cloud and onto the ground. He slid back a bit as the cloud went faster than him, but upon getting his footing he took a hard starting push of the ground before running as fast as his body let him, subconsciously going faster as he began to push himself and show his brothers how much he's grown, how much he would grow that he was stronger than what he seemed, even if their are other forces inside of his body, he still had his own capabilities that he wanted to show as himself, and that's what he was going to do.

" He's insane " Vanessa sighed softly " But that's how boys are " She said before Fuegoleon just smiled once more " He's sane, he's just made up his mind of what he wants in life. For once in his life, he's not letting anything hold him back, No fear,no pain, just him and a goal" Fuegoleon replied as Leo was not only inspired but also proud to have a brother like Fuegoleon and as well a Kagura. Soon enough the four saw Kagura dashing past the cloud and going even faster, he was pushing himself beyond his limit.

" Why won't you stay down!" Kibana had swung her broadsword down upon Gojitu's shoulder yet it proved ineffective, as it grabbed the sword, going for a punch but luckily Kibana was faster and dodged easily but it was clear her stamina wasn't infinite, she had been dodging its attacks for a while now, not aware that Gojitu could absorb magic as she had been throwing several wind magic from her blade at Gojitu, letting it absorb the wind magic before starting to overpower here and forcing her into the defensive unable to strike back due to the immediate aggressive nature of Gojitu. Suddenly, the spider like creature had began to speed up, almost vanish before arriving in front of Kibana faster than she could react, striking her down with a fist, sending her back a great deal as she slid on her feet. Gojitu chased after her ' S-Shit its too fast! ' as Kibana braced for the next attacked it never came, as she looked up she saw Kagura, in his white armor, deliver a straight right hand across Gojitu's cheek like sending the spider rolling onto the ground ' one strike.....' Kagura thought to himself as he began panting before slowly being his right hand across his chest in front of him while his left rested by his side " Asura...." he said as his right anklet had began to emit a red light from its gem " Mantra restriction released" Asura's voice spoke from the gem as the sole of Kagura's right foot began burning, emitting magma ' one chance.....one strike...make it count '

It was at that moment Kagura felt everything around him slow down even himself, he exhaled and began to spring forward towards Gojitu who began to stand shocked seeing how close Kagura was. The boy then leap into the air, before performing a somersault into a diving thrust kick with his right foot leading as he gave a battle cry on the way down. Striking Gojitu with his right foot, knocking the beast onto it's back as a strange insignia began to melt into it's chest before causing Gojitu to literally explode. Kagura began panting heavily as the armor faded away, gave Fuegoleon a glance when he arrived and gave a thumbs with a slight grin before passing out entirely " Jaden!"
