《The Noble Curse of Ookami [Previously Titled: CLOSER]》My War

Kyuuto then explained to Karito what happened to him and his team lately. When asked why Karito didn't tell Kyuuto about the curse much earlier, he answered, "I don't want to overwhelm you, just like everyone else. It was instinctively to be kept secret among us," he then glanced at Hikiri.
Karito then pulled out some peculiar disks with adhesive bottom from his waist bag, "These are modified mini-beacons. They reverse time and space as usual, but not give away our location by beaming light into the heavens. Stick it on the corners," he gave them to Rin.
When they were eating, Kanata asked, "So what are we gonna do now? I'm afraid the warriors wouldn't side with us anymore," she then chomped on the bread she held.
Ishigaki then mentioned a smaller base to the east, he proposed the team to seek help there. But Kyuuto quickly pointed out, "I don't think it's safe... I assume the warriors already spread the news to the other bases... for now let's just rest here,"
----
One morning, the team heard something moving just outside the mall building. "Whoever's out there, show yourself now!" Kanata warned. A pair of hands then showed up, Aosuke then appeared from the bush.
He explained that Hoshikawa has taken control over base 37 and expanded his influence even more in a few days time to other bases as well. "He led the warriors to believe that killing you is the only option. Now he's trying to find you and your team," he added.
The team then looked at each other, then planned to move again. But before they could leave, Hoshikawa's squad got to them first. He was with 20 odd other warriors consisting of both Jaegers and Oras.
"Surrender yourself to us, and this will end faster than you'll realize," Hoshikawa proposed his plan, "and to all of you, if you obstruct us, you'll be considered as traitors," he pointed at the rest of Kyuuto's team.

"Hoshi---" Kyuuto was trying to reason with him, until his words got cut by Karito beside him.
"What makes you so sure that that's the best thing to do about this curse?" he asked, "what if killing Kyuuto just makes the situation worse?" Karito then continued as Hoshikawa's squad got perplexed, "Kyuuto IS a vessel for greater forces inside him. But in this case, destroying the vessel could release whatever is inside into the world. You don't want to be around when that happens,"
"I'm willing to take that chance," Hoshikawa unsheathed his sword, sharp thorns formed around its blade, darkened by his intentions, "I guess you don't give me any other options," with other Jaegers also unsheathed their blades.
"Get ready to fight," Hikiri whispered, "this time there'll be blood," he also readied his weapon, followed by the others. Hoshikawa noticed Aosuke among Kyuuto's men, then offered him a chance to come back, but he refused.
"I choose to stay, because our main mission is to defeat the darkness, not kill one of our own," Aosuke stated, which makes Hoshikawa more agitated. He then activated his fire sword.
Hoshikawa commanded his army to strike first, then the war between Aotori and the warriors commenced. At first Kyuuto and others just defended themselves and dodged the attacks. While the warriors intended to kill, Aotori just knocked them down unconscious.
"I don't want to fight them!" Kanata threw away one of the warriors with her aura, then deflected some elements with it.
"We have no choice!!" Rin beside her punched away some of the warriors, she too actually felt conflicted protecting herself and the team. She then looked at Karito throwing his daggers around, wounding the warriors, even killing some of them.

"We have to fight to survive," he stated coldly, "protect your cousin at all cost,"
Rin's heart skipped a beat when hearing Karito's words, she then glanced at Kyuuto on the other side, he was protecting himself fiercely. Rin's spirit then snapped, she was determined fully to protect Kyuuto as she failed to protect her brother during the Great Search. She soon joined Kyuuto on his side.
Ishigaki meanwhile wasn't impressed by Karito's brutality, and grew more hatred towards the ancestors. Without him realizing, his aurics were on fire. He then punched one of the attackers with them, burning him instantly. Shocked by his own action, Ishigaki recoiled and looked at his own hands, terrified.
He too has violence in his blood.

The Realm Beneath: A Dungeon Story
This is the story of a dungeon, not a reincarnated soul or a human trapped in a soul gem, but a dungeon. Born as a dungeon, it lives as a dungeon, and kills like a dungeon. Guided only by its experiences, vague ideas and knowledge from somewhere else and the mysterious system that greets it upon awakening it strives to build and live and learn. Immerse yourself in the tale as you read about the dungeon and the adventurers that challenge its depths, puzzles, traps and creatures. Read about the realm beneath as a world comes to life within a mountain in the centre of the land. Forests, swamps, deserts, tundra and more can all be found in the cavernous chambers that blossom with life. Author's note. There is an overarching plot that is more than just the dungeon getting bigger. I will be uploading at least one chapter a week until furthur updates on my schedule get posted and hopefully more once I finish off the other book i'm working on. You can expect me to try and craft unique challenges and floors, stuff you most likely haven't seen before in dungeon books whilst still having a hopefully decent plot. I can't promise much about it but I will certainly read all the comments, respond where appropriate and take on board suggestions. I promise to keep you updated and not drop away without saying anything. I would consider this to be part of the writers pledge but if circumstances force my hand I may have to drop it. (no plans) A Note on tags: Profanity: Not excessive but where i find appropriate. Gore: Well that depends how well I do my job doesn't it. If I can paint a vivid picture that has the potential to be gory, then my writing may be to an acceptable quality. Traumatising content: Again, this depends on my skill as a writer, I guess I hope you find it traumatising - no that’s not right. Well you know what I mean anyway. Hopefully I can paint a vivid picture in your mind that makes the book all the more special.
