Secret Hideout…
(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)
“NDRO...ANDRO...ALEJANDRO...ALEJANDRO…” Alejandro hears a voice and slowly opens his eyes. He sees Valerie and Tiwa looking at him with a worried expression; “Valerie, Tiwa...what happened? Why can’t I feel my left arm?”
“...” Tiwa and Valerie don’t say anything. Alejandro looks that his arm is frozen, he begins to chuckle:
“This is so cool...my arm is completely frozen, I always wanted to feel something like that?”
Tiwa and Valerie look at each other and chuckle. Alejandro gets confused; “What’s so funny?”
“Alejandro, you’re in a critical situation...yet, you look so amused...it’s hilarious?”
“Wait...I’m in a critical situation?” Alejandro panics causing the girls to laugh more. Alejandro also laughs; “Yes...of course I know, I can feel it…I guess this is the end of the road for me…”
Suddenly a portal opens, Uriel and Heidi cross the portal; “Ahh, so you’re awake…”
Alejandro looks at Uriel and Heidi; “Uriel...who is that woman?”
“My name is Heidi Muller...I am the Vice-Director of the American Branch of Yggdrasil…” Heidi replies to Alejandro. Alejandro gets surprised; “Really, that means that you are my boss...I’m sorry for my rude behavior Ms. Muller...”
“Fufufu...no need to be so formal...Call me Heidi…”
“R-R-Right…” Alejandro replies thinking; “She’s so beautiful…”
Uriel walks forward and hears his rhythm; -BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP- Alejandro with a worried expression asks; “Be honest with me...how much time do I have left?”
Uriel sighs; “Judging by the rhythm of the soul and the mana that spreads to your body...you have 1 hour…”
The girls are in shock, Alejandro nods in agreement; “I see...well then, I guess this is the end...you know, I remember what I did these past days...the way I treated Anastasia...and how I used her...what a worthless piece of scum I am…” Alejandro cries with tears in his eyes. Valerie steps forward:
“It wasn’t your fault...you were being controlled.”
“Controlled?” Alejandro interrupts Valerie; “No, I did that on my own free will...I could feel it...I feel so ashamed...I think it’s better if I just died now…”
Uriel steps forward and grabs him by the neck and lifts his body.
“UURRRRIIEELLL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” Valerie exclaims as Tiwa and Heidi look at him surprised. Alejandro has trouble breathing; “W-W-What are you doing?”
“You said that you wanted to die...so I am just helping you with that…'' Uriel says as he creates a mana barrier surrounding them so no one can interfere. Uriel continues to speak:
“Now listen you idiot...You said that you did such horrible things right? You betrayed Anastasia, the only girl who was loyal to you and left her to die...I believe that you are a coward...wanting to die like this…”
(COUGH COUGH)
Alejandro struggles: “You don’t understand, I am a sinner…”
Uriel lets Alejandro go. He creates a sword and points at him; “You know, everyone has their sins...yes… you made a mistake...but what are you going to do? Are you just going to die like that? Or are you going to save an innocent girl who was just following orders?”
Alejando begins to remember Anastasia, the way she never left his side and how she was always there for him, to the point that he began seeing her as a friend.
Alejandro begins to cry; “You’re right...you’re right...but I am weak...I’m so weak, that I let myself be controlled…and now she is going to die.”
“You say that you are weak, but that’s okay...remember that you are the Silver Hero…” Uriel throws him a badge of a Silver Space Ranger with Alejandro’s name. Alejandro looks at it and remembers:
“I AM THE SILVER SPACE RANGER...ONE DAY, I WILL STRONG AND BE THE SILVER HERO…”
Alejandro slowly stands up, breaking the ice. Tiwa gets worried; “Alejandro, don’t do that...the ice…” Alejandro smiles; “It’s okay...I am dying anyways...Uriel, I am weak, but I want to save…” Alejandro begins to fall forward, Uriel holds him:
“Not so fast, you said that you are weak, and if you go like that, you won’t be able to do anything…” Uriel helps Alejandro sit on the bed as he dispels the barrier. Alejandro, breathing heavily, looks at him; “What can I do?”
“Alejandro, remember that you are a member of Yggdrasil and that you have the right to use this…” Heidi, who is holding a case, puts it on the bed and opens it. “What is that?” Tiwa asks as a bright light shines in the suit-case.
Heidi smiles; “This is the World Tree Seed, Alejandro, this is the only way to save you...Your life is ending, and not even a miracle can save you... the only is to completely change your body, if you succeed, then the poison within your body will disappear…”
“Really?” Tiwa asks with excitement. Heidi continues to explained; “However, that process can be fatal...many of Yggdrasil members have died within the process...that’s why, you needed to train your body but we have no time....but instead of 0%, you will have 20%...the Tree Seed will fuse with you, Alejandro, will you accept?”
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
“I do…” Alejandro accepts without any hesitation. Heidi smiles: “Very well, take a deep breath and touch the seed. Alejandro takes a deep breath; he touches the seed. The seed shines a bright white color as it begins to fuse with Alejandro.
***************************************************************************
Sun City International Airport…
In a private jet...the three members of M.I.S.T arrive to complete their mission…
“-?Aww man...we’re back in this boring city…-?” Flood, an agent of M.I.S.T who appears to be a young adult, says as she walks stretching her arms.
“Shut up, it was your fault that we needed to come back...if you had paid attention that Shion Saito created a clone...then we would have been done by now…” Drought, the tallest member, says to Flood. Flood begins to argue; “-?Well that might be true, but the original plan was for you to take her down...you idiot…-?”
“WHO’RE YOU CALLING AN IDIOT!”
“-?You...Idiot…-?”
“Both of you stop it...it was M.I.S.T’s fault and that’s all...right now, we need to hunt Shion Saito as fast as we can, otherwise...our boss will get angry…” Typhoon, the leader of the group expresses anger.
“There’s no need to look for me...because I am here…”
The three members of M.I.S.T hear a feminine voice. Suddenly, golden chains fall towards their direction.
(BBBBOOOMMM)
The agents avoid the attack with ease. “Agents, prepare for battle…”
As the smoke screen clears, a figure is seen walking towards them. A young woman with blonde hair and yellow eyes approaches them. She walks with a serious expression as she has her esper suit on.
“-?Hahaha...so, she came voluntarily for us to kill her…-?” Flood expresses excitement. Drought looks at Flood:
“Don’t let your guard down...this may be a trap…”
“You’re right...this is a trap…” Shion says with a sinister smile as her yellow eyes shine brighter. The agents of M.I.S.T notice that a giant circle beneath them, the circle has the kanji symbol; “輸送” (Transport)
Shion puts both hands on the ground and chants; “Shinsei na crane yusou” (Sacred Crane Transportation) -CCCHHHIIINNNNGGGG- Golden chains come out of the ground and wrap the members of M.I.S.T. The ground begins to shine a golden color as the three members and Shion disappear from the airport.
***************************************************************************
Near the Mountains…
The Franklin Mountains...an extension of mountains and hills that split Sun City in two… Located in the Northern part of the Mountains, there is a little canyon...on that canyon is where the final battle between Yggdrasil and M.I.S.T was about to begin…
(BBBBOOOOMMM)
The members of M.I.S.T appear in the canyon, they look around the are:
“So, we are in the mountains huh…”
“That’s right, we didn’t want Sun City to become a battlefield...so I transported you here…”
“Impressive...let me ask you this, how did you know we were going to arrive?” Typhoon asks Shion. Shion points at Flood, Flood doesn’t know why Shion points at her, suddenly a small spider comes out of her cloak causing her to panic.
“-?EWW...I HATE SPIDERS, KILL IT...KILL IT…-?” Flood panics, Drought sighs; “You idiot...she had a familiar implanted in you…”
“That’s right, one of my spirit familiar was slowly watching over you and tracking your position...I just calculated where you were going to land…”
“I see...very impressive, young girl...but now, you are at a disadvantage...because our mission is to kill you…”
“-?YEAH, TOO BAD FOR YOU, IT’S 3 VS 1-?” Flood shouts with excitement. Shion makes a smile as she looks calm.
“Oh, you think so…” The agents hear a voice from the hill. Carlos in his esper suit standing on top looking down as he screams; “I only see you at a disadvantage…”
“He’s right…” The agents turn to their backs as they see Kasumi who also has her esper suit on as well. Kasumi slowly takes out her katana as and points it at the agents with a serious expression:
“This isn’t going to be like last time...you caught us off guard, but now...You will know the true power of Yggdrasil…”
Typhoon looks at her; “Ahh, the leader...tell me, have you learned your lesson? Or perhaps, we should kill that girl right now…”
Kasumi gets angry and releases an enormous amount of mana; “I will tell you this one more time...if you dare lay a finger to my subordinates...I WILL KILL YOU!”
“I see...very well, have it your way, our mission is to kill Shion Saito, but if you insist on getting in our way...then we will kill all the members of Yggdrasil…”
Typhoon extends his arm to the sky and begins to release a thick mist that will soon cover the whole area. Kasumi smiles as she thinks; “We were expecting you to do that…” The mist covers the whole area.
The mist covers the whole area, Typhoon (the leader) lowers his arm; “Scatter…”
“Right...” The members go separate ways, completely erasing their presence. Typhoon as he runs, thinks:
“This is how we move, we of M.I.S.T are one with the mist and assassinate our targets without any sound. That’s why they call us the Silent invaders…”
Kasumi takes a battle stance consisting of putting one leg in front of another and bending her knees as she thinks; “I was expecting this...knowing them...their target is…” Kasumi immediately charges at them, disappearing in the mist.
Shion stands with her eyes closed, there is no sound or visibility due to the thick mist; “Keep calm, you must follow the plan.”
Shion opens her eyes and claps her hands and makes a golden staff appear; the golden staff is as long as her body. It has a round end with two rings hanging from it.
(CCCCHIIIIINNNGGG)
Suddenly, Shion notices that someone is charging in front of her, someone is coming from the back and the other falling towards her. Shion smiles; “Just as expected…”
With her staff, Shion hits the ground gently, three times as she chants; “Ogin no Kagayaki” (Golden Shine)
(CCCHHHIIINNNNGGGG)
Shion begins to shine in a bright golden color, instantly blinding the agents for an instant.
“-?MY EYES…-?” Flood screams as she continues to charge at that moment someone appears in front of her.
(PPPPUUUMMMM)
Carlos appears and kicks Flood away from Shion.
“-?WHY YOU…-?” Flood shouts as Carlos makes two kunais appear; “You cowards…”
Kasumi stops the one who was falling towards Shion, Typhoon. Kasumi clashes swords with Typhoon causing him to fall to the left.
Shion stops Drought’s punch and pushes him back. Soon, the members of Yggdrasil are standing back-to-back facing their opponents.
“Don’t let your guard down...it’s just as we predicted…” Kasumi says to the others who respond; “Right…”
“So, you’re not going to make this easy…” Typhoon takes out his sword (similar to a lightsaber) Kasumi grabs her katana with her two hands; “Remember...don’t die on me…”
There are three battles happening simultaneously as the members have scattered in the mountains.
Kasumi charges at Typhoon.
Carlos attacks Flood and Shion is left confronting Drought.
The rematch battle begins: Yggdrasil vs. M.I.S.T
