Note: Hey thanks for reading this far into the story, I don't have much experience writing but I've had this story in my head for awhile and decided I should give it a shot. I'm also working on Official art for the characters. Enjoy the chapter!.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Lets go!" [Jumbi]
She jumped into the air and swung her sword towards the Ogre.
"Gale Slash!"
"Fangs of the Thunder God!"
The ogre lifted it's blade towards the sky blocking Jumbi's wing attack while crouching and using his other hand to block the attack from the twins.
"Looks like he has good instincts." Said Jumbi dodging the incoming strike from the ogres blade towards her in the air.
The blade came down towards the Twins who both dodged to opposite sides. The Siblings had the ogre surrounded. The brothers dashed forward with lightning attacks, as Jumbi was slashing him with her sword and wind attacks. They wore the Ogre down, it was struggling to stand as glowing red blood dripped from his wounds. Jumbi got ready to give the final blow.
"Gale-"
"Watch out!" Tai yelled towards them
From behind Go and giant wolf figure appeared from the forest with enormous speed but luckily Go was able to defend against it.
"That's...a Titan Wolf wraith?." said Norina worriedly
"And its not just one either." Cylo said pointing to the side Setto was on revealing there was another Titan wolf that came from the forest.
Tai grabbed his friends and ran forward. He remembered last time that he almost died when he felt pressure behind him and this time he felt it again once he leapt forward out of danger they turned around and seen another one. More and more Titan Wolf wraiths appeared from the forest soon the kids along with the twin brothers were surrounded on all sides by about a dozen Titan Wolves. While Jumbi was out side the circle but was being held back by the Ogre, who seemed to be moving even faster now as if it had been acting before and ignoring its wounds.
I Under estimated this guy, he's stronger than the usual Ogre types Jumbi thought. She had to think quickly, her brothers were strong but even she couldn't take on that many Titan Wolf types.
"Burst!"
A large boom resonated through the air and Jumbi was propelled forward towards the Ogre type. she grasped her sword like it was a spear and prepared to throw it forward towards the ogre.
"Spear Of Fujin!" A deafening screeching sound echoed through the air as wind surrounded her sword grinding the floor around her. She threw her Sword now in a shape of a spear towards the ogre. The Ogre tried Defending against the Attack but it pierced through his sword he was using to guard himself and through his body.
Jumbi leapt over the Ogre's falling body and Towards her friends who were trying to fight off the pack of wolves.
"I can't keep this up, they just keep coming." Setto said
He was the first line of defense from the wolves as his brother stayed back to defend the Others. Suddenly he strong gust of wind flew behind him he turned around to see it was Jumbi's sword impaling a wolf through the head. She glided down to the ground and pulled the sword from the wolfs head.
"We have to get them out of here and make our way back to the temple." She said to Setto
"I know that but first we need to find a way to get out of this." [Setto]
"I'm going to open up a path, You and Go grab the kids and sprint out of the forest as fast as you can." [Jumbi]
"What about you sister...?" [Setto]
"I'm going to try and hold them back as best as I can, don't worry I'll get away and catch up to you guys in no time."
"....you-"
"Just go when I tell you!" She Shouted.
She raised her Sword to the sky.
"Sky Piercer!" She swung it down with great force
"GO NOW!"
At the same time Setto ran towards Tai and the rest of them signaling to Go that they were going to make a run for it Setto grabbed the first two closest to him Cylo and Norina and Go grabbed Tai. The brothers ran towards the Gap their sister made in the line of Wolves. As they were about to enter back through the forest to make their escape Go turned around.
"Wait what about Sister."
"She said she will catch up, we have to go now!" [Setto]
But Go didn't listen he threw Tai towards the forest and ran back towards Jumbi. Setto didn't want to leave his sister behind but he knew that they had a job to protect the children, he knew his brother was the same and wasn't someone who would abandon his duty. But when he turned to see his brother running towards Jumbi his eye's widened.
Jumbi took a deep breathe. "I've been using too much magic...I'm running out of stamina and magical energy." She watched as her brothers took the children to escape but then she seen one of them turn around towards her
"What's that idiot doing I told him to get out of here."
"Go leave Now!" She screamed at him swinging her hand signaling him to leave but he didn't listen and kept running towards her. Then from her left arm she felt an enormous pain she turned to see, There was an enormous wall where the rest of her arm should have been.
Go ran towards his sister as fast as he could. She was resting from the attack she received so she couldn't take notice of the enormous figure that appeared from behind her but Go noticed it. It was the Giant Ogre type from before. Still moving.
"ahhhhhhhhh!" Jumbi let out a scream of pain blood sprayed from her now missing arm but she still didn't drop her sword. She turned and seen that it was the Ogre type that had sliced her arm off. it lifted its sword off the ground in preparation for another swing. The Ogre still had a giant hole in the center of its body from Jumbi's sword but it still moved as if it didn't matter.
"How is it still moving!?" [Jumbi]
The Orge swung its blade towards Jumbi who's body was in shock so she wasn't able to move. Luckily Go came in time he grabbed his sister and flung her back with all of his force towards his brother and used his guandao to black the attack, the force was too much for the weapon and it broke from the impact. Go looked back to check on his sister and made sure His brother had gotten her then turned to face the ogre wraith and the wolf wraiths that were joining at its side.
"Setto, change of plans you take her and get out of here."
"But I can-" [Go]
"You wasted your energy defending the kids back then and our sister is in no shape to fight, get her back to the temple, Its my turn now."
"....Alright...take this." [Setto]
Setto threw his guandao to his brother. Go caught it from the air then took a stance to fight.
"Warrior of the Thunder God!" His body was enveloped with lightning magic creating an armor reminiscent of a warrior.
"Go..when did he learn.." There was no time for Setto to admire his brothers form he picked up his sister and made off to where Tai and the others stood.
"Lets go we're leaving now!" He yelled
"but-" [norina]
"NOW!"
They followed Setto as he ran with his sister in his hand but Tai looked back at Go seeing his fight. Go was chopping down wolves left and right using his brothers guandao and using the lighting from his form.
"Too bad I can't use this magic for that long, but the least I can do Is by them enough time to get away."
Go was breathing hard the magic was draining his energy. Suddenly he felt his transformation beginning to fade. He continued fighting even through his fatigue but eventually his body gave in.
"So this is as far as I go huh?"
He knelt down and his transformation dissipated and From the swarm of wraiths in front of him the Ogre type rose once more to deliver the final blow.
"May the Creation God accept my into the after life." Were Go's last word as he watched the Ogre type swing its sword down towards his body.
"Come on were almost to the edge of the forest."
"Setto there's more wraiths following behind us!"
"Just keep running!" [Setto]
The next patrol group should be at the edge of the forest by now, if we can get there quickly they should be able to back us up.[Setto]
Tai was getting tired and his body was tensing up. He thought that now that he had the power there would be nothing to fear anymore but it didn't happen, He was even forced to leave someone behind.
I have to become stronger no matter what
Suddenly Tai's body crashed down towards the ground. A wraith with a body type that seemed like a giant bug dropped from the trees pinned him down to the floor.
"Tai!" [Norina]
"Keep going I've got this."
He managed to turn his body around and kick the wraith off of him and drew his sword. Slicing through it. He lost sight of his friends because of this but he still kept running so he could reach the edge of the forest more wraiths were trailing behind him and he didn't want to fight them. The fear he felt when he first inherited the Spirit was returning to him.
He was almost to the edge of the forest where is friends already were. Coming out of the forest he hoped that it would all be over but upon arriving there was a different scene. Cylo and Norina were both knocked unconscious on the ground. Setto was on his knees struggling to support his sister, The second patrol group...their bodies were lying on the ground and surrounding all of them was a large group of wraiths of different body types.
Tai ran to Setto with his sword out.
"What happened?"
"When we got here, the patrol team was whiped out." Setto said.
"Setto...what..what do we do?"
He grasped onto his sword tightly, his entire body was shaking uncontrollably. Fear ruled over his body and he thought he was going to die.
"Tai...you have to run.. try heading back into the forest and going around, try heading up the mountain and let the Head Monk know about what's happened here."
Tai turned and looked at him, then to his friends who were lying unconscious on the ground.
"I can't...I'm not supposed to run away anymore. I need to protect my friends."
Tai gripped his sword even tighter. tears started streaming down his eyes. The wraiths charged towards him. He didn't move from the spot he was in, his legs were frozen in place from the fear, But he could swing his arms.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
He screamed swinging his sword at the wraiths. Rings shot out from his blade. He did a Second swing and 3 giant rings formed around him and his friends and began widening and slashing through the wraiths as the rings grew larger while turning like gears. He kept swinging and Kept swinging and kept swinging. Eventually his body grew tired and his Vision grew blue until it was just black.
The next thing he seen was the ceiling of his own room. He was back inside the Temple. He looked around and seen the Head monk sitting next to his bed.
"Are Cy-"
"They're both ok." said the Monk
"..I see."
"Just get some rest for now we'll talk about everything tomorrow. I brought your dinner to your room make sure you eat, you need to rebuild your strength." Then the Monk left the room.
Tai took a deep sigh. He was happy that his friends were safe but at the same time he was mad at himself for being helpless and sacred.
"I guess I should just eat for tonight."
He sat up and grabbed the plate of food that the Monk had left him. He made a disgusting face at the sight of it.
"I hate Salmon."
