290. The 'Universal Battlefields': The extension of resolving lineups! - Part 9

[Demon's War (Recovery of Allies): Arc 13]

Year 2003 the Light has soon appeared and the newly born girl has shined over the humanity's responsibility.

The birth that once appeared had been now unknown for the entire Human Society and her existence was yet unknown, nor was it seen.

With the born girl's full-caring personality from baby's perspective, this girl was sent onto the Planet Earth to secretly live a Human's Life, without even herself knowing what she truly was.

Now, in the year 2019 the first human coming in contact with this girl was a 16 year old Teenager boy, who had become the next Substitute-Duelist and the ally of the potential future Godess.

Through the year of their meeting, the Substitute-Duelist never understood why her existence was so important and even before he managed to understand, his promises to keep her protected was a significant shock.

Due to this girl's crooked knowledge about herself, even herself couldn't believe what a mere human had spoken, but until now, year 2020, this teenager had held his promise straight and never let go, but due to the accident of her ally falling and seeing her 'killed', the teenager gave into his inhumane actions, and the first appearence of the disordered 'Fiend' all he had seen was a revenge over this girl's 'killer'.

But then, in sudden appearence, after this teenager finally broke the seal that kept his humanity hidden, the Demon God himself appeared out of nowhere and claimed that he'll use the power of both, The Semi-Godess and the Substitute-Duelist, for himself and without wasting time, the two teenager were both held, unconscious in Demon God's palm, taken to the underworld.

But due to the Demon God not being aware, his own son, known as the Half-Demon entered the underworld and was put under a difficult responsibility...

....Katorishi Codey, his hatred toward father was seen and as much as his fear prevailed over, he never let go of his allies.

In the unexpected, this Half-Demon promised himself to bring back, both Kirashito Ayuka the Semi-Godess and Shinkaku Timoshī the Substitute-Duelist to once again see Humanity.... To achieve this goal, his journey will be hard, long and with the Demon God in front of him, he's aware that his risks of entering the underworld might ended up in fighting his own father.....

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - Innerlight City's Guild (Hospital Area) - Friday, 1.30 p.m.]

The Duels in the Underworld were still active unlike at the Overworld. Due to effective speed that both Sakami and Kanji managed to produce, each of them successfully reached the Guild's Hospital while bursting through the door. "Jun! How are Kylin and the others?" Questioned Kanji while immediately stepping in the room.

Once stepping in, he faced at Kylin who had a towel on her forehead who was sweaty and heated due to the fever. "It's not looking too great. She's tensing every pain in her mind while trying to stay alive. If she won't be able to control her breathing, she'll die and there won't be anything else I'll be able to do. While the rest.... I'm sorry to say... B-But there was nothing I could of have done to save them..." Answered Jun while very worried about Kylin. "You're kidding? Both Nobuyuku and Kaori.... Both of them-" But without wasted time, Jun nodded. "Yes. They didn't make it... And if we don't hurry, Kylin won't be able to survive either." Answered Jun, constantly using her abilities to keep Kylin's blood flow somewhat normal.

"H-how.... How's-" Everybody faced at Kylin who was struggling to talk. "Kylin!" Kanji and Sakami immediately came near her bed. "H-hey! Kylin, can you hear us. Please, just hold on, Jun's taking care of you!" Kanji called, while he was fully stressed. "How's T-Tim and oth-others.... Tell me, that... The-they are, all right." She spoke.

"I promise you, they're all fine, you don't need to worry about them! You should worry about yourself right now, you on the verge of death and any time you could.... You could leave us." Spoke Kanji while, holding the edge of the bed. "Although... I don't know much about how they are in the Underworld. While you were resting in the Hospital. So we really don't know what's up with them..." Spoke Kanji, looking at her. "T-thank you..." Claimed Kylin when her smile once again fell into pain. "Kylin!" Kanji tried to see if she was fine, but it was looking overwhelmingly for her health. "Please, you've gotta do everything you can, at least her, please." Kanji claimed, calm. "I'll do my best..." Jun added.

[Underworld - Jail Cell Keeping - Friday, 1:29 p.m.]

Codey and Aoi were still in the middle of the Duel at which point both of them were slowly sweating due to a high temperature flowing around the Underworld. "You see, just when you think you've won, you always get knocked down!" Codey said with his arm finalyl recovered. "Does it really matter? You haven't managed to slice any of my limbs. While I have already managed to slice yours. It doesn't look good for you." After taking a breath, Aoi crouched and moved his right arm to the side of his waist, preparing the star that was now sharpened and had multiple blades attached to it, not just four.

"Just because your cute weapon managed to obtain multiple blades, this doesn't mean that it'll help you much in the long run. Besides, you're really not in the need of ugly weapons. It disappoints me." Codey whiped the sweat from his forehead when falling into thoughts. ("But then again. I don't understand how will I be able to deploy my own Boomerangs to rival his star? It's much more quicker and larger, and I don't plan on using Henshin unless it is absolutely needed.") Codey's left eye switched the color to red. ("But at the same time. If I don't hurry up... Ayuka and Tim could be killed any moment. I just hope they managed to escape in some kind of way.") Thought Codey, but in that instance somebody came running from behind him. "Codey!" At surprise, Codey noticed Tsuneo who ran behind him. "Tsuneo! W-what are you doing here! A-and, you look different." Codey stood up and hid his Demon Eyes. "If you're here, does that mean-" But without wasting time, Tsuneo confirmed.

"Damn, that fool got himself killed." After a quieter speech, Aoi reached for his star and slightly moved it in front. "But now that they are being focused on their beauty conversation, it's perfect time to strike them and take their lives." Without wasting time, Aoi proceeded with a twist of his star and moved it to the side and hurried with a throw which flew above the ground.

But in that moment, Codey's ears twitched and he immediately faced behind. "Tsuneo! Watch out!" But while Codey shouted, Tsuneo immediately jumped in front of him and slashed with his blade downward. In surprise the star went flying into Tsuneo's sword at which point the sparks began to burn out. "T-Tsuneo..."

"Codey! Hurry up and go save your friends! I'll put this guy for good, I promise!" Shouted Tsuneo at which point Codey became emotional. "Are you joking? You shouldn't have such confidence after killing just one-" "It's not confidence! I've achieved my goal so even if I die, I won't mind protecting you! Your friends are much more important right now! So hurry up and go!" In surprise, Codey's mind opened and his eyes became dead serious. "You got it." Without wasting time, Codey disappeared from the spot and appeared in the distant frame. "Damn idiot! Wait!" But while Aoi tried to reach for Codey, Tsuneo had already bounced the star forward and without stopping, the star was targeted at Aoi. "I'm your opponent! Not him!" Shouted Tsuneo.

"Damn you! You stupid brat!" And finally, Codey dashed through the hallway, ready to reach his next opponent.... Rez.

[Underworld - Jail Cell Keeping - Friday, 1:31 p.m.]

Tim just ducked when the sword went slashing over his head. He rolled on the floor and spun on the spot, turning his body around. "Come on! Stop avoiding me! I just wish to taste your blood! I heard it was very special, you know. So be a good boy and give it to me!" Mi smiled while spinning her blade and turned around. Tim reached with his arms forward and prepared to illuminate his body with his blue aura, preparing to summon his Henshin. "Oh? What else can you do! I'm so excited!" After clapping with her hands, Mi waited patiently. "Hen-" But right before saying it, Tim heard a call. "Tim! Stop!" In the moment of doing that, Mi faced at Ayuka unamusingly. "Ayuka? Did you-" While Tim was confused and looking at her, he listened. "Yes. I've done what I needed. Now, you've gotta reach Rez, if you waste your time on her, it'll just cause you to lose too much of Symbolism." Ayuka spoke, standing next to him. "I'll keep her busy, don't worry." Ayuka spoke but then noticed that Tim looked at her cut near the eye. "W-what happened to you?" Questioned Tim, a bit confused. Ayuka reached with her right hand near her cut. "Oh, this. Don't worry, it's just a small cut I came in contact. Now, get to the top of this 'Jail Cell' and reach Rez." Spoke Ayuka, being calm.

"Another girl... How dare you disturb our precious fight. Who do you think you are? Another feminine who's trying to ask for my boy's hand?" While Mi continued to express her jealousy and annoyance, she spit. "W-what are you talking about?" Ayuka wondered with an expression of embarrassement. "Only one girl can be in his life, and that'll be me, you sluty bitch!" Without wasting time, Mi jumped at Ayuka and slashed with her sword. But once Tim called out Ayuka's name, he noticed that she already dragged out her blade and blocked the attack. "Hurry up and go already!" Ayuka callled, while holding Mi away. "But-"

"Will you listen already! What's your idea with constantly being focused onto me, would you consider fighting your real opponent, you shouldn't waste your time on this girl!" Ayuka clashed again with her sword and blocked Mi's next attack, knocking her backward into a flip and a soft landing. "Damn it, why must you always put me at these situations?!" Tim asked backing away. "Well, if it weren't for me. Who else would keep you from killing yourself?" Questioned Ayuka when smiling and giving him a wink. With unamusement, Tim backed away. "Fine! But don't you go dying on me!" Tim crouched and leaped to the top. "No! Wait, my cutie!" Shouted Mi when trying to dash for him.

But before she could, Ayuka immediately appeared in front of her and blocked Mi's attack. "You should just keep your hands away from him and focus on me! And also, calling me a slut was one of the most idiotic sentences I have heard through time spending in this world!" Ayuka slashed forward when knocking Mi back again, once again.

Mi landed on the floor, in a three step. "Damn you. If you plan to fight for his love, then only one of us will see it through. But I tell you that only I'll be a girl in his life, not a bitch like you." Claimed Mi while holding an intimidating face. "Maybe I am, or maybe I am not. But neither of that falls under the meaning of being a Spiritual Duelist. My job, as you know is to eliminate any Demon that crosses our paths. Humanity is the only race that should exist on this world alongside animals and nature!" Ayuka grabbed her sword into her right hand and smiled. "Who would ever like a girl with that disgusting body or thoughts? You should just stay in a pigshit." Claimed Mi when immediately making some sort of movement with her blade, at which point she summoned a red circle in front of her, and with that her eyes turned red. "Thank you for the unnecessary compliment. I'll take it as a joke." Ayuka immediately pointed her sword forward when touching her left palm onto its handle.

"Henshin!"
