92. An instantanous form-taking Shades!

[Rescuing Ayuka: Arc 5]

A 'Spiritual Mode'! One of the basic techniques that a Ginkenian should master! It's another extension to their power and allows them to seperate their spirit from their body on the outside. A linking technique such as this one is necessary for Ginkenians because of it's polluted power, allowing them to switch dimensions between Zero World and Planet Earth. This ability is usually not shown by the trained Ginkenians but their pressure can be felt. Once the Spirit Seperates through the body their potential can be easily overwhelmed and a basic Ginkenian could easily be harmed by their own Spirit. The 'Spirit Mode' is quite different and the bodies of Ginkenians become Spiritual, through seeable and very difficult to learn. But the weakness of such body is risky.... Currently we still do not know much about this mysterious technique.....

|Tokyo City - Shinikaru Street - Monday, 8:25 a.m.|

Tsukimi was pretty much focusing on something unexpected while walking in the street. "Clothing shop? Hm... Maybe I should go check a few stuff, but not buy any! Just because I'm curious!" Tsukimi walked toward the shop and entered when seeing many of the girl's clothing. Without knowing if there was anything suitable for her, she immediately decided to look. "Welcome to our Clothing Shop, how can I help you?" Questioned the seller when smiling at Tsukimi. "Uh! Nothing, just looking around, I probably will not buy anything!" Tsukimi said once scratching the top of her head. But as she spoke about buying nothing, several minutes passed and then. "I'll buy these!" Tsukimi who was unexpectingly acting strange decided to pit an entire basket of the clothes on the table. "Uh, eh-he-he.... sure." After the seller counted how much Tsukimi needed to pay she spoke. "That... would be 74,383.20 yen." And without regrets, Tsukimi hurried along with payment, thanked and than immediately left with 7 larger bags. "All set!" Tsukimi smiled and soon became unamused. "You.... really seem to have almost bought an entire store... Tsukimi." From out of no where, Mia came and said while she skimmed a confusion. "Is there a problem with getting some newer clothes, besides collecting them is not that bad." Sayori sighed once beginning to walk past Mia. "Well! Can't judge ya!" Mia slapped her palm on Tsukimi's shoulder once Tsukimi became uncomfortable. "Ya'll gonna look pretty as a model! You really will be very 'suitable' for those clothes..." Tsukimi who was somehow a bit red in cheeks spoke. "Uh.... right.... whatever you say..." Tsukimi said once both of the girls walked forward, but tuning through an alarm was immediately set off near the bank. "And we have baddies... perfect timing!" Mia clapped with her hands and smiled. Let's go pull them down to the bone~" But as Mia almost finished her words, Tsukimi interfered. "Just don't say any more words, we should hurry, in fact if we're late, there might be trouble!" Both of the girls rushed toward the bank to where alarm was going off and arrived to a burgulary. "Drop your guns! You're all under arrest!" Police force was already around them, however, their pistols were not enough to harm the burgulars. "Give up!" The burgulars called with their handy assault rifles aimed at them. The shots were set out and the policemen, hid behind their car, immediately calling for help. "Really? They are trying to rob the place while it's still day, what morons..." Tsukimi called still holding the bags. "I'll go take them~" But again, Tsukimi unfinished her sentence and Mia stopped her. "Keep care of those cute clothies! They shouldn't get ruined or dirty! I'll deal with them! But you, a beauty should always hide!" Laughed Mia and faced at the robbery. "Isn't it supposed to be the opposite?" But never gaining an answer, Mia dashed in the middle of the roadblock. "Hey! How's it going mankinds! Seems you chose the wrong time to rob a bank!" People in bank were on the floor. "What's a girl like her doing in this event?" Questioned a robber with his assault rifle aimed. "Young miss! This is not place for you to be here! Move aside!" But not listening to the police, Mia fixed her hair. "And so it's not for robbers!" Once Mia giggled she immediately prepared something that others didn't have clue about.

Mia had already noticed the robbers shooting at her immediately but because of her ability to move intensely, she easily dodged all the bullets and even scared the robbers at the same time. At the next step, Mia ducked and looked up at the boy, quickly hitting his jaw and also kicking him in the stomach and pushing him back. "Shoot her! Now!" Shouted one man of the robbing group, and the bullets continued to shoot, Mia avoided each bullet again and then quickly slid across the floor between and under the man's legs, grabbed him by the back and then used this man as a bumper, Mia was then in the air and kicked him in the back, after that she turned and looked back. At that moment she saw the bullet in front of her and was surprised, but in an instant Mia swung her left hand and caught the bullet which was smoking in her palm because of the heatness and speed. "Ooh! Not too bad! It's kind of hot, but better than cold!" Mia then took a step forward throwing the bullet at the swing and sent it at the forehead of the man whereby the bullet also bounced into the other, then Mia slid around and appeared behind the back of the final man standing and grabbed him by the shoulder. "Hey there! Hope you've tasted the cement before!" As she called, Mia pushed forward and slammed the man to the floor, placing the sole of her foot on the man's head and mending her clothes by blowing it off. "There ya go, you poor officers! We've done them, now, do your job and be useless!" After hearing Mia's complains, the policemen became unamused and then recalled so the backup never arrived. Then the next officer stepped in front of Mia and spoke. "We're thankful for~" But then, Mia just quieted him down. "Save it! Have fun!" Mia was just about to walk past, but soon as she thought that she was finished, the robbers began acting strange, their bodies started to change and started to grow differently. Mia, Tsukimi and policemen were all shocked. "What... what's going on! What is happening?!" Mia turned around and pushed the officer back, the guns were dismantled and the robbers began standing up, weirdly, they have transformed to something else than a human in an instant. "Demons?!" But to Mia's call, the answer failed, in fact it was once again the 'Shadow Mist' that began surrounding those fallen robbers. "No! Mia! Those are shades! But how?! When did they touch the mist at all! It hasn't been released since the last time!" Tsukimi dropped her bags and rushed toward Mia, but as they thought another Shade came standing before others. "What the hell even is that Shade?!" The Shade seemes to be a newborn and couldn't even talk, however his power was the thing that made others shocked. "It's gotta be! That Shade is the one who has escaped from Tim's bedroom in the capsule!" Mia shouted once facing forward. "Guah...Geh...Garh." Those were some random words, that the newborn shade spoke, but them, somebody stepped forward, it was Lucas who seemed to be quiet. "Who are you?" Mia asked when facing at the boy. "Me? I'm just a nobody.... but they call me Lucas...." Lucas the teenager who Tim, Kanji and Ayuka witnessed stood before the two girls. Lucas was once again releasing some type of black aura and even 'Shadow Mist' from his wrist. "You're asking how these men became a qualified Shade, simple by then.... I used my powers to manipulate them... you're the next set of Shinkaku's friends, well... thanks to the snow fairy, the guy who I was with was ended... so, why not to suppose to make my own choices...." Lucas was an enemy that nobody thought could be that skilled. "He must be talking about Ayuka..." Tsukimi added and faced worried toward Lucas. "So, the girl defeated your ally but you ran away like a coward! Such dissapointement." But Lucas to Mia's call just sighed. "I was too busy with different stuff than dealing with those, low-rank Ginkenians.... besides, why would I fight if the others can do work for me.... speaking about it, you may enjoy a feast, go Shades." As Lucas ordered the Shades to attack, both, the newborn and Lucas disappeared, another roaming enemy. The policemen called for backup once again, but to no answer, Mia and Tsukimi ended in a must situation of fighting Shades. "We need to hurry up to clear these Shades!" Tsukimi called out and then with accepting the quest, Mia and Tsukimi both dashed in. "You two girls! Be careful! We'll be your back~" But before the officer finished, Tsukimi called. "You just watch for the people, we'll deal with these maniacs!" Loudly called Tsukimi and with fighting on the way of the five Shades, Mia jumped in the air and dropped towards the Shade, she kicked the face of the Shade and then pummeled him back once rolling on the floor forward, she reached on the back and quickly reached for her back when her left eye seemed to have been glowing in blue, she summoned her shorter Ginken when she slid across the floor and with a swipe sliced the Shade's body, she then followed up with another slice to obliterate the weaker Shade, meanwhile Tsukimi reached for her katana and disappeared from the spot, the officers and others became confused since the two girls were unseen by them. "Where....did they~" But when saying, Tsukimi just crossed with her katana when slicing forward through the body of the Shade and then followed with a quick jump and turn, she clapped the Shade with her sole and pummeled the Shade back, but the next Shade already swung forward with his claw, thankfully, Tsukimi blocked and then pushed forward slicing the Shade's arm, the Shade reached out for his now harmed arm and grabbed the hold of it, but Tsukimi didn't wait to see it suffer so she immediately stomped on the Shade and pinged him on the ground, she then stomped and squashed the head of that Shade and black liquid flowed out like water, from surprise, Tsukimi's left foot was caught by it, almost like glue. "What the hell is this! A glue of some kind? It's not something like normal Shades lose when taken care of!" But Tsukimi was quickly given her answer. Mia just kicked another Shade and spoke. "Because they are still beginning Shades, they cannot duplicate and their liquid is much more sticky, just pull, you'll wash it off!" Mia shouted and spun and sliced, cutting the Shade's head off, finally Tsukimi finished the final shade and looked shocked on the spot, these Shades changed into black liquid and were burnt on the sun. Both of the girls backed away and seemed to have finally finished their quest. "These were strange, I didn't know that they could have been manipulated at any time!" Tsukimi added up and faced at Mia, finally they reappeared with their Ginkens gone too. The policeman were still confused. Both of the girls faced at the policemen. "There all finished, we're sorry for inconvinience and please proceed with what you were sent to do!" Tsukimi spoke and with Mia ran for the bags and retreated from the spot, being sure that these Shades were actually taken care but policemen still had no words but decided to ignore and proceed with treatment and helping the people, as for Lucas and newborn Shade, they stood in the distance on the roof and watched the event. "I suppose those were mistakes made by me... who cares.... not like they were going to do anything properly..... let's move..." Lucas said and once again disappeared with the newborn Shade, keeping him out of combat for some sort of reason.

|Tokyo City - Furó Street - Monday, 10:30 a.m.|

Tsukimi and Mia were using the left apartment by Tim for themselves. "Hey! Hey! Let me see what you bought! Put them on!" Mia called with many claps added onward. "Uh, right now? You really are inpatient...." Tsukimi said and scratched her hair. "But of course! I wanna see just how sexy you become!" Tsukimi was once again, left in unamusement. "Alright, fine be it...."

[ - Tsukimi is a girl with brown long hair and brown eyes, she is another Ginkenian and also daughter of Giovanni who was killed by a Demon. Tsukimi is a brave, serious and confident girl but she usually becomes very embarrassed when it comes to her looks, how to put it, she is very insecure about herself but the most important part of her is, that she is differently dressed than a basic Ginkenian, she wears a white kimono with black T-shirt which Kimono almost looks like a coat, she also adores to wear city clothes for events.]
