“Then, I won’t hold back.”
Tenka grinned and gripped the sword in her hand, accepting Laura’s challenge in full. Even if it were bait she was more than confident to deal with whatever would come her way. She met Laura’s killing intent with her own, Though her own of conquest, domination; she was the strongest and she would prove it to all present.
Especially him.
Hyakka Ryouran raised its leg up before stomping it on the ground, Ki being sent into the ground and reverberating out like a drop of water in a still pond. The countless blades that lay embedded in the ground began to vibrate softly before shaking vigorously as they unsheathed themselves from the earth, being sent up into the air. It was a floating field of swords that littered the sky above Hyakka and surrounded the Ganonia.
The machine crouched down and prepared to jump, but was interrupted by…
From the sky above, four piercing rays of golden light lanced down on the Ganonia, the beams seeking not to directly damage the machine but rather startle its pilot and break the tension between the two. A new presence not having been detected until now. Azrael, the Dark Angel descended upon the battlefield, as an ominous air now began to fill the surrounding atmosphere, washing over the fighting that had been taking place prior.
“Stay your hand, Kusanagi.”
The deep and commanding voice of Xifas was made clear to all present. The crouching machine in black below hesitated for a moment, before returning to a neutral stance, obeying its Leader’s order.
“A formal introduction is in order I believe. Grand Reine, Travelers from the surface world.”
Xifas lowered himself onto the battlefield, hovering above Hyakka Ryouran.
“I am Xifas Quo Dea, Heavenly General of the Colossi Immortalis and its de facto leader. Heidel Vaan Ariandel, to put it simply, you are unfit for ruling Crescentia, and we will dethrone you.”
It was a bold statement from the Dark Angel, but nonetheless his voice was filled with conviction.
“You can no longer stop the inevitable. The Giants will return and we shall reclaim what is ours.”
He then turned to Laura.
“You otherworlders, should you wish to join us at any time, we will welcome you with open arms. Should you not, you won’t live to see the end of this war.”
“Why do you oppose us so, Xifas? Crescentia has known only peace for these past two thousand years, what are you trying to accomplish?!”
Heidel spoke up in opposition to the enemy.
“Crescentia has stagnated these past two-thousand years. You’ve been oblivious to what is to come and have made zero preparations for it.”
“What are you talking about?”
“...Perhaps Aberon never told you? How ironic. He gave his chosen warriors the power to fight the giants yet never warned you of the true threat to mankind.”
Xifas gave a pitiful chuckle.
“What do-”
“I’m done wasting my words, further conversing is pointless. We shall guide mankind to salvation; save it from stagnation and oblivion. Kusanagi, let us dethrone the Reine.”
“You needn’t even tell me.”
Ki began to flow outward again from Hyakka Ryouran as it leaped into the air to strike the Ganonia, clearing a path for Xifas and Azrael to assault the Citadel.
However, before reaching the Autowarlock, a dark verdant green blur appeared before The Black machine, as Tenka’s sword clashed with another Katana.
“...Kusanagi, is that you?”
Tenka gritted her teeth as the two swords pushed against each other, the battle of strength between the two machines at a stalemate. She could feel the Ki resonating from the machine, similar to her own, but it was too different from her former Master’s.
“...No, you’re not him.”
The two broke from their clash, each returning to the ground in a standoff against each other.
The green samurai-like machine stood opposite to Hyakka Ryouran. It was as if each were looking into a mirror reflection; they were so similar, yet completely different. The blue mane of the green machine gently waved in the wind, as it gripped its sword firmly. The two machine’s eyes met in what felt like the world’s longest staring competition, each attempting to read each other’s movements and body.
The two had entered a different world from the rest present, one were warriors’ true battle was fought.
“...Who are you?”
Tenka asked the question, keeping her focus honed in on the new arrival, uncertain of this change of events.
Between staggered breaths, a calm voice came from the green mobile weapon.
“Mumyo.”
“Mumyo? What kind of joke is that?”
While Xifas took a quick glance at the new arrival, he kept his attention on now his target, the opposing autowarlock.
“It seems the playing field has evened out. Kusanagi may have been playing around with you earlier, but I assure you it's serious business from now.”
Four magic circles formed at each corner of the machine’s frame, before four more golden beams of piercing light arced outwards, now homing in on Ganonia’s body.
“Your leader is misguided and unfit to save this world from inevitable demise. She is naive in her ruling; holding onto a dream of a Crescentia from long ago. Do you truly wish to see the end of the world?”
Tenka grinned and gripped the sword in her hand, accepting Laura’s challenge in full. Even if it were bait she was more than confident to deal with whatever would come her way. She met Laura’s killing intent with her own, Though her own of conquest, domination; she was the strongest and she would prove it to all present.
