==================================================================================
Chapter 22
In the middle of the battle field, two great figures stand between each other. Yuko the leader of the blue bloods and Jurina the leader of the black bloods, the two were emitting strong energy. Jurina stepped forward and said to her sister,
"Looks like you're losing. It's not too late to surrender."
"I will never surrender to you Jurina."
"Then die!"
Jurina pulled out her sword and swung hit hard aiming for Yuko's head. Yuko backed away however and then pulled out a long saber. Jurina was coming back and Yuko was able to pull out her saber just in time to deflect it. Yuko slid her saber across Jurina's blade and then pulled back releasing a high pitched sound that stunned Jurina for a second. That second gave Yuko the opportunity to strike Jurina when she wan't looking and so she jumped up and came down fast slicing what she thought was Jurina's body in half. However when she looked down she only saw a long line in the ground and Jurina gone. She looked around and didn't see Jurina anywhere. Then suddenly she felt a gust of wind behind her and that's how she knew where Jurina was. Quickly bending back and forcing her blade up, Yuko was able to stop Jurina from taking off her head.
"Not bad Jurina." Yuko said.
"I'm just getting started Yuko!"
Jurina backed away and then dashed forward slicing through a Yuko's side. Yuko fell and then Jurina span around and then thrusted her blade through trying to stab through her stomach. All she hit though was air for Yuko had managed to jump up and come down cutting Jurina's left arm. Jurina hissed in pain as her blood leaked onto the ground she stood on. The pain though was light to her and she was still able to move with much power and speed. Jurina charged towards Yuko once again at full speed trying to take down the older one as fast as possible. However Yuko wasn't going to let herself be taken down so easily. Moving her saber to the left, Yuko leaned far to the right as her saber was pointing almost straight up. Jurina was confused as to the technique Yuko was trying to pull off and easily saw an opening where she could strike. Changing her direction, Jurina went around and then swung aiming for Yuko's weak side. However that was the mistake that Jurina had made when she realized what Yuko was doing and it was too late for her to react for as she was swinging, Yuko released her saber and then slid under the blade and punched Jurina straight in the stomach.
"Angler's Play!"
Jurina remembered this technique back when they would practice sparring with each other. Yuko would use her saber as bait and move at an angle making it seem obvious which spot to strike. However if one were to strike the spot, that's when the play came into motion for Yuko would toss her saber and move under it and then strike the opponent. It was that and many other moves that Jurina would always lose to when they were kids. Grunting in dissatisfaction, Jurina scowled thinking how foolish it was for her to fall for one of Yuko's silly tricks. She was also surprised though that Yuko didn't stab her or cut her. She knew that Yuko had blades with her but instead she chose to punch her. Was she going easy on her?
Jurina wondered that thought but then she saw that Yuko was coming around for another attack. Jurina got up and was ready to move but when she tried a sharp pain shot throughout her body and she collapsed on the ground. It was then Jurina remembered another trick that Yuko would do that caused the disruption of nerves. In a certain spot in the abdominal area, there is a nerve that if you hit it right, you can cause the whole nervous system to collapse for a short amount of time. Jurina realized this and now she was a sitting duck waiting to be slaughtered if she didn't think of something. Then out of the blue, Jurina thought of a way of escape and so she started to spin her body at a fast speed digging into the ground. By the time the end of her foot dug into the hole, Jurina felt Yuko's saber just barely cut her. Jurina dug deep into the ground and then started to make a series of different tunnels and pathways to try to confuse her. Then once she had made enough tunnels, Jurina waited for Yuko's next move.
Jurina used the vibrations to pinpoint her sister's location and when she found her she waited and waited until suddenly she heard a sharp slice of Earth being cut not too far from her. Yuko too was trying to pinpoint Jurina's location and so she started stabbing at the ground. Jurina felt Yuko stand right above her and she felt her ready her sword. She had to move so by twisting her body, Jurina popped up right in front of Yuko and before Yuko could swing Jurina punched Yuko in both of her shoulders.
"Nezumi trap!"
Jurina smirked and then quickly backed away back into the hole as Yuko fell back in pain. Yuko got back up and tried to grab her saber but her arms wouldn't move and she couldn't get them to cooperate with her. As Yuko was struggling to get her legs to move, Jurina laughed and thought to herself that Yuko wasn't the only one that had a couple tricks. Jurina had hit the nerves that connected the arms to the rest of the body. Now that they were out, Yuko couldn't move her arms and couldn't hold her saber. Also Nezumi's trap is a series of tunnels made for not only confusion but an escape route giving Jurina plenty of areas to run to. Now all that was left was to finish her off and the victory would be hers. Jurina pulled out a dagger and then made her way to a tunnel that lead right behind Yuko. Once she was there, Jurina popped out and then cut one of Yuko's ankles from the back. Then she went back down and came out once more and cut the other ankle. Yuko was now unable to move her legs and her arms leaving her completely immobile. This was Jurina's chance to finish her sister off once and for all. Jurina came out of her hole and jumped high her blade in her hand. She came down fast right on top of Yuko where there was a loud crash and a large puff of smoke. Jurina thought she had got her but to her disappointment, she was wrong.
(Over with Rena...)
Inside Rena was battling one of the greatest enemies she had ever faced in her life. In her mind, Rena saw a giant black monster eating away the very being that she was. She knew she had to stop it but she didn't know how for she was too weak. Everything seemed lost and there was no hope in trying to fight. Rena started to give up and she felt herself drift away and be consumed by the darkness. Then suddenly there was a bright flash of blue and Rena found herself engulfed in the warm blue light. Rena looked around and then suddenly Mariko was standing next to her.
"Rena listen to me. The war has started and people are dying. We need to get out there and stop them before it's too late." Mariko said.
"But how? That thing is eating me alive and I can't do anything!" Rena said.
"You can Rena you just need to open your eyes."
"What do you mean?!"
"Open your eyes Rena!"
Hearing those words Rena suddenly felt a surge of power flow through her very veins. Rena looked at the black monster and all she had to do was raise her hand and the monster was destroyed. Rena's body had changed where her veins were glowing bright red and there was a strange mark on her chest. It looked as if it was some kind of stone and when she reached down to feel it, it actually was a stone. It glowed on and off in a rhythm similar to a heart beat. Rena looked over to Mariko and she said,
"Where is Jurina?"
"Out there."
Mariko pointed and Rena looked outward where she saw something but wasn't sure what it was. There were two entities flying and clashing with each other and fighting. Rena looked closer and managed to get a clearer image where she saw something she couldn't believe was there. In the battle was a black dove and a blue crow. Rena looked at Mariko and Mariko only sighed and said,
"Let me explain.."
Rena nodded her head and listened.
"As you know, the leader of the black bloods and the leader of the blue bloods had conceived a child and that child was Yuko. She took after her father with her blue blood and because of that, her mother never truly love her. Then when Jurina came along, her mother was very happy because Jurina was a black blood like her. Once the war started, the father wanted nothing to do with the mother and so Yuko and Jurina were with their mother. The mother only paid attention to Jurina along with the rest of the people because she was a black blood and Yuko was a blue blood. Yuko was constantly isolated or ignored by the others and for a good five years of her life Yuko was forced to raise the very thing that made her life miserable. Then one day, Yuko got tired of everything and so she released her anger on Jurina and accidentally killed Jurina. Yuko had regretted everything she had done and that is when she called upon me.."
"Mariko.. you..."
"Yes Rena. As the story said, I am the demon who brought dove back to life."
Rena was astonished and didn't know what to say. Mariko had brought Jurina back to life and turned her into the very monster that Yuko was fighting out there right now. Before Rena could say anything Mariko said,
"I was young back then and foolish. I saw Yuko as a pitiful soul who was only starved for attention and did something unfair to her sister. Therefore I brought Jurina back and turned her into the monster that she is and set her on a rampage to destroy the people that hated Yuko because well back then I thought I was doing Yuko a favor. However when I saw Yuko killed, I knew I had screwed up and that's when the angel came in and brought Yuko back to life. The two started to fight and meanwhile I had been punished by the great powers above. They removed my demonic powers and now I am nothing more than a mere witch stuck in this mortal body. Honestly I find being a mortal quite fun with all the things I can do. Anyways, I stayed by Yuko's side since it was my fault in the beginning and I watched her grow into a very powerful ruler. I was quite impressed at how far she had gotten and now I am proud to say that I stuck by her side. However I also kept taps on Jurina and I was actually quite disturbed at how much hatred she had built up on her sister. I thought about doing something but after last time I learned not to get involved. Now it's getting down to the final battle and we have to stop it before it's too late. You see when I gave Jurina her power, the angel gave Yuko her power and a little bonus with it..."
"And what is that?"
"If one dies.. so does the other."
(Over with Jurina...)
The smoke cleared and Jurina thought she had finally killed her sister but sadly that wasn't the case. When the smoke was gone, Jurina saw her sister glowing a blue aura and her blue veins were visible on her skin. Her eyes were glowing bright blue and she was holding Jurina's blade but the blade wasn't cutting her. Jurina moved her head to the side and cracked her neck before looking at her sister and saying,
"So you're using it now?"
Yuko didn't say anything but instead broke Jurina's blade and then moved forward to punch Jurina. Jurina dodged luckily and watched as a blast of blue energy shot out of Yuko's arm and into the battle field where tons of soldiers were instantly evaporated in the blast. Jurina knew she was going to have to be extremely careful if she was going to avoid getting her head blown to smithereens. Jurina thought now as the right time to unleash her secret weapons and so Jurina pulled out a small whistle and blew it as hard as she could. Minutes later there was loud thudding coming from the distance and men being thrown out of the way. There was a loud roar and then suddenly a huge figure stepped through. That figure was Toto and when he saw Jurina all Jurina did was point to Yuko and she shouted,
"Sick em' boy!"
Toto let out a loud roar and charged towards Yuko who did nothing but stand there. Jurina thought Yuko was just going to get ran over but then when Toto moved his arm to punch Yuko, Yuko stopped it and in an instant, Toto's entire arm came off. Toto fell back and screamed in pain over the loss of his limb and before he could do anything else, Yuko finished him off with a blow to the head taking down the mighty beast. Seeing how that plan didn't work out Jurina decided it was time to use the other plan. She signaled to have the device be brought out and then quickly signaled which ones to use. The bells rang and many men were left frozen where they stood. Yuko however seemed unfazed by it and in the end she destroyed the device Jurina had created. Yuko looked over at Jurina and said,
"You truly are pathetic to think these small things will take me down."
Jurina became frustrated and so she decided to awaken her true power just as her sister had done. Concentrating all her power, Jurina was swallowed by a cloak of black and and then came out a new person. Her veins were black and showed through her skin as her eyes had turned black as well. However Jurina added one final attachment for she had bent over and then two large wings sprung from her back. Jurina smirked and then took off into the sky going high up. Yuko too sprouted wings and flew up to where Jurina was at. It was there the two started to fight midair ramming into each other trying to knock each other down. Yuko pulled out a whole new blade and out of it shot blue energy that took shape of a falcon. It raced towards Jurina and was coming fast but Jurina counter attacked when she opened her mouth and released a long viper heading for the falcon. The two collided and created a large blast setting the two back a bit. However that didn't stop Jurina who used her powers and sent out multiple blasts all aiming for Yuko.
There was no room to escape so Yuko put up a shield and protected herself from Jurina's attack. She was about to put her shield down but then Jurina dashed forward and crashed into the shield shattering it and sending Yuko back. Before Yuko could regain herself Jurina came from above and swung down on Yuko's chest sending her all the way to ground. Yuko slammed hard and Jurina was coming down to finish the job but then Yuko shot up and slammed into Jurina sending her soaring up into the sky. Yuko came up and grabbed Jurina and then threw her down on to the ground. This time it was Jurina's turn to react for Yuko was coming down fast and Jurina wasn't as fast as her sister.
Therefore Jurina decided to try a different approach and so she focused her power on her arms and then suddenly Jurina's arms grew ten times her size and they stopped Yuko from causing any severe damage. She pushed Yuko off her and then flew back up into the sky where Yuko chased her up there. The two backed away from each other and prepared for their final attack that would take out one of them depending on who was stronger. Both of them charged up all their energy into their bodies preparing for the final blow. The energy around them started to grow bigger and bigger until they formed two large orbs in the sky. The black and the blue where both of equal size and strength and all that was left was to initiate the attack. Almost instantly, the two finished at the same time and so they both moved heading straight for each other. They drew closer and closer and then right when they were about to touch, something got between them and the two collided into something that completely destroyed their attacks. There was a large puff of smoke blinding both of them from seeing what had stopped them but when they tried to move neither one of them could. Jurina was angered and wondered if it was Yuko that had stopped her but when the smoke cleared both her and Yuko were both surprised and shocked. There floating between the two holding their hands stopping them from hitting each other was a figure who's body glowed red with her veins outlining her body, her eyes a bright red, and a large set of red wings. That figure was none other than the one that Jurina was trying to keep away from all of this. Jurina looked at the figure and said,
"Rena.."
Rena looked at Jurina and said,
"This war ends now."
