Chapter 14: A Discovery

The sun falls and the moon rises. Roy and Varari knock on the window. The principal opens it and lets them come in.

"So who are we going to deliver a package to?", Varari asked confidently.

"Deliver job is canceled for tonight.", the principal said.

"Huh? Why?", Varari questioned.

"I've received a threat message from your village earlier, Kage.", Principal Daichi answered.

"Huh?!", Varari was shocked by this.

"It says here, "Bring me the Demonic Saber and the head of the Ultimate Ninja or else we'll destroy you and your precious school. And we want it tonight. Yes, this night. No more extensions, we either do It the easy way or the hard way. It's your choice", seems like your brother is thirsty for revenge from Abellona.", the principal read it.

"Sir, did you at least get more ninjas to protect this building?", Varari asked.

"No. No, I didn't.", the principal said.

"But why?!", Varari asked.

"It's because you've got Abellona here. The Ultimate Ninja. He's already a 1-man army if you ask me.", Principal Daichi answered.

Varari turns around to look at Roy. Roy gives her a strong and determined look.

"I can handle those ninjas alone. But your help is much appreciated."

Upon hearing, Varari starts doubting that Roy can handle this but she remembers something in the past. Varari remembers how he fight that night. How strong Roy to battle them all. How brave as well. Varari still doesn't like this plan, but she has no choice but to have faith in Roy.

"I got your back.", Varari said.

Roy nods and is glad for the support.

"Alright then, let's fight them.", Roy said as he heads outside of the window.

Varari does the same.

"Good luck...", the principal said but nobody heard him.

They're on the roof. Roy's sitting down and closing eyes, trying to sense the area for energy and waiting for the enemy, but Varari asks an important question to Roy.

"Should I kill my former clan members?", Varari asked.

Roy opens his eyes, stands up, and looks at Varari seriously.

"I can't decide that for you.", Roy answered honestly.

"I see...", Varari responded.

"But I can tell you this. In this situation that you're in, my only suggestion for you is to follow your heart.", Roy added.

"My heart?", Varari repeated.

"Yes, where your true feelings and emotions reside. Though remember, you have your mind to filter out those raw emotions of yours. In other words, know that you have a heart to listen to, but use your mind to think first.", Roy explained.

Varari doesn't understand but she doesn't have another chance to ask.

"Hmph. They're near.", Roy said.

Roy runs in a certain direction. Varari follows him. Roy and Varari then head to the forest surrounding the school. They keep on running and jumping through it until Roy stops. Varari stops as well. They're surrounded by trees. It's not going to be good fighting an army in a close environment like this. Roy then pulls out the Demonic Saber.

"Duck.", Roy said to Varari.

Varari, who heard this drop flat to the ground. Not understanding why she had to but she trust Roy.

Roy's sword then gets engulfed in flame. Then he starts spinning. A flaming tornado appears out of nowhere and Roy is inside of it. Suddenly, multiple Fiery Slash fires out of the fiery tornado, destroying the surrounding trees and making space for their battlefield.

Roy then stops, everywhere surrounding them is in flames. It seems like he's gonna start a forest fire but then Roy raises his hand. The surrounding fire starts gathering onto his fist. Roy has absorbs the fires, preventing a disaster to happen. Varari stands up in awe. Seeing something amazing makes her glad that she's on Roy's side.

"They're here.", Roy said.

Soon enough, they're surrounded.

20? 30? 40?

"50.", Roy counted.

"Huh?", Varari uttered.

"They have over 50 ninjas here.", Roy explained.

"That's... A lot.", Varari was shocked by this revelation.

"It is. But I can handle it.", Roy replied.

"Well, I hope you do! I'm gonna rely on you to fight most of our opponents here.", Varari responded.

A ninja then shows up and reveals himself. It's someone Roy is familiar with and it's someone who Varari knows too well.

"You were given a chance to thrive and survive alone. And yet you always try to leech off strong people. Using them for your survival, useless sister.", Vansu made an appearance again.

"Vansu...", Varari said.

Varari tightly grabs her spear. Vansu chuckles.

"Fine then, if you want to die with the Ultimate Ninja then die horribly, you good for nothing sister.", Vansu threatened.

Vansu snaps his fingers. Signaling his army to attack but at this moment Roy creates an Ice dome protecting the both of them. They then hear the sound of shuriken, kunais, and arrows are thrown at their icy shield.

"This should give us enough time to make a plan.", Roy suggested.

Roy then turns to Varari who is visibly frustrated by the encounter with Vansu. Roy puts his hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her down.

"Hey, let's focus on dealing with his friends first before facing him.", Roy said.

Varari snaps out of it, focusing on the battlefield. Then Varari faces Roy.

"Now. Let me ask you a question.", Roy said.

"Hm?", Varari responded.

Meanwhile...

The ninjas surrounding it keep on throwing at the Barrier of Ice.

"Throwing objects at it won't shatter it!", Vansu shouted.

Vansu looks around and sees 2 spear wielders.

"You two! Pierce that thing.", Vansu ordered.

The 2 of them get into position and charge at their full strength. It breaks, but there's no one in it. This leaves all of them in confusion. The 2 spear-wielders go back to where there before. Suddenly, Roy and Varari appear. They appear out of the shadows of these 2.

"They're he-", one of them said but was knocked out quickly by bash of the blunt side of a spear.

The other is also kicked to sleep. The surrounding ninja reacts, but they're too slow for the Ultimate Ninja. One by one, they're all knocked out by the sheathed Demonic Saber.

Archers start firing at them. Roy stomps on the ground, creating a thick wall to defend themselves. Varari jumps and throws a Shadow Spear at them. Aiming the tree itself, and making it fall to its right side.

Then they're ninjas who are running towards them but Roy stops them by kicking the earth wall he makes earlier at them. Several ninjas start charging at them while others start readying their bows and arrows.

"Deal with their archers. I'll deal with them.", Roy said to Varari.

"Right!", Varari responded.

Varari then jumps in Roy's shadow and teleports at one of the archer's shadows that are on a tree. Since they're only good at long-range, doing close combat would be difficult for them. She then knocks the archer down to the ground.

The one who's sitting beside them tries to stab Varari with an arrow but she grabs it first and hits their head using the spear. Leaving them daze on the ground.

The other archers see this and start targeting her. Varari twirls her spear, blocking all of it. She then gets down onto the ground. A dark aura surrounds Varari as she was preparing for her attack. The archers grab their arrows and they all point toward Varari again but they're already too late.

"Spearhead Charge!", Varari shouted.

Then Varari zooms right through the trees that the archers are on. Piercing thick wood after thick wood. Making them all fall to the ground. Varari then starts forcing them to sleep.

Roy blocks a spear attack and kicks them on the stomach which causes them to weaken and swing the covered sword to hit their head. Several ninjas with katanas, axes, and nunchucks attack Roy. Roy uses the power of the wind to push them back. He then charges at the ones who wield axes paralyzed them for a moment by hitting a certain point on their body. They then get swallowed by the earth but they got their heads above it so they can breathe.

The ninja who uses a nunchucks charges at Roy. They sort of manage to handle Roy better than the rest of his friends but what they lack is not skills but speed and strength. Roy catches one part of their weapon and pulls them for a headbutt, knocking them out in the process. Roy grabs the nunchucks. He attaches the Demonic Saber on his left side and temporarily uses the nunchucks as his secondary weapon. Since he's not trying to kill anyone.

The group of ninjas who wield katanas stands their ground. They're being cautious of Roy. They're now on the defensive after seeing Roy's abilities and skills but they aren't matched for his physical abilities.

Roy charges the farthest left ninja and pushes him over. Then using his muscles, Roy pushes the next one which causes them to bump into their ally, and that ninja pushes the one beside them. Roy creates a domino effect using those ninjas, knocking them down to the ground. Then Roy uses ice to trap them there. The one who's pushed first then stood up and swing their sword in a downward motion. Roy blocks it using his left arm's armor as a shield. Then Roy uses the nunchucks to let him have a rest on the ground. Suddenly 5 ninjas appear with no weapons. It seems like they're gonna use their fists.

"This should be interesting.", Roy accepted the challenge.

Varari who was dealing with the archers is now dealing with their melee attackers.

"Die, traitor!", one of them said.

This causes Varari to hesitate for a moment. A ninja who uses an ax throws at her but a darkish tentacle caught it. A dark aura grows from the surrounding ground of Varari.

"Fear Of The Dark: Black Tentacles!", Varari yelled.

Suddenly, 7 more dark tentacles appear out of the ground, making the total 8.

Then it grabs the one who throws the ax and starts slamming them against the ground. They all try to run away but they're caught by the tentacle and they're smashes against Varari's surroundings. Varari makes a sadistic laugh because she feels good doing this.

Roy catches another hand and tries to hit him on the head with the nunchucks but is blocked using their free hand. However, they grunt in pain. Another bare-fisted ninja throws in a punch. This time, however, it glows darkly. They're using dark energy on their fist. Roy uses the one who's fighting before them as protection and a meat shield. It hits. They knock one of their allies down. The one who causes is shocked by this. Roy uses this moment to make them have an intimate relationship with the ground.

"2 down. 3 to go.", Roy muttered.

The remaining 3 go on the defensive. Roy then zooms at the farthest one and starts beating them with the nunchucks. Roy then grabs the unconscious body and throws it mid-air. The air starts to surround Roy first and he releases the pressure at the perfect moment. It launches and hits one of them down. The other goes and runs over to their crushed friend. Roy stomps on the ground and a piece of earth emerges from the ground and launches into the air. Then using the nunchucks as a bat, Roy hits it and the stone crashes unto them, overshooting their destination and hitting their head on a nearby tree and making them unconscious under the tree,

The one who's crushed moves their sleeping friend to the side and stands up, but they couldn't see Roy. He's gone on their sight. Then they hear breathing beside them. As soon as they turn around, they're smacked with a metallic nunchuck on the face, knocking them out with one go.

Varari who's enjoying torturing her poor victims suddenly gets a Shadow Spear target at her. She dodges them and cancels her magic attack. Her smile then turns to anger.

"It seems like you enjoy playing with your toys. You never seem to grow up.", Vansu mocked her.

Varari tightens her grip and charges Vansu with a scream. Vansu deflects her attack easily.

"Just because you left the clan doesn't mean you're much stronger than me.", Vansu taunted her.

Varari doesn't say anything and uses Shadow Spear on him. Vansu dodges it and throws a Shadow Spear back at her. Varari then jumps to the right side, barely escaping it but she gets grazed on her left leg. Varari stops and puts her hand over her wounded area. She brings her hand to see blood.

"You're already bleeding! And I haven't. You were always such a disappointment.", Vansu pointed out.

"Well at least, I'm much more likely to have a husband than you having a girlfriend!", Varari talks back.

This causes Vansu to be angry. He then charges and goes on the offensive. Varari changes her position to protect herself. Vansu gives Varari swing after swing, pierce after pierce. Varari's barely defending herself due to the power gap between the both of them. She gets cuts from her right arm, cuts from her face, and a pierce wound on her abdomen. Luckily, isn't that deep but her injuries keep piling on, making her weaker and weaker in the process of this fight.

"Well, you can't have a husband if you're dead!", Vansu yelled angrily.

Vansu then pushes Varari back, making her fall to her knees. Varari uses her spear as her support to stand up but she could barely move.

"I was hoping for this day. That you finally got out of my life forever. PERMANENTLY!!!", Vansu said.

Vansu then puts dark energy within his spear. Soon, Vansu runs towards Varari. Varari just closes her eyes, preparing for her death. However, Varari hears metal clanging. Hearing that, Varari opens her eyes to see Roy using the Demonic Saber without its cover and Vansu who's knocked to the ground. Roy turns around to look at the injured Varari.

"You've done well, Varari. Now let me handle the rest.", Roy said.

Varari smiles at this and relaxes. Feeling Relieved that Roy's there to save her.

Vansu who's still on the ground stands up and wipes the dirt off him. He then looks around to see most of his army out of commission but not all of them. Vansu then whistles, calling the remaining ninja towards him. They're 21 of them who manage to get there. Some of them are still injured while others are still dazed after being hit on the head brutally. Nonetheless, they can still fight.

"I've learned that I don't have a chance against you, so I have come prepared.", Vansu admitted.

One of them gave multiple strange potions that Roy hasn't seen before. It isn't the same Health Potions he saw before. The liquid inside of the potions is dark violet-colored. Then Vansu grabs and chugs them all. Roy can sense Vansu's magic and ki rising quickly. Roy's shocked that something like a drink could boost your power.

"Amazing isn't it? Well, that's the power of the Violent Darkness Clan!", Vansu boasted.

Vansu then shows his power by releasing his aura. It's intimidating for sure.

"Now I'm more powerful than you!!", Vansu exclaimed.

Vansu then laughs sinisterly. Roy, however, then chuckles a bit as well. This confuses Vansu and the surrounding ninjas. Then Roy stops laughing and gives them all a deadly and scary look.

"You thought that I was using my full power against you that time? Wrong...", Roy said.

"Well then, even if you're still stronger than me in this state. You would have a difficult time fighting against these numbers. Especially when she's injured and is your teammate.", Vansu reminded him.

Roy looks at Varari and smiles devilishly.

"Oh don't worry. I'll be protecting your precious little sister and fight all of you at the same time.", Roy promised.

"How? How are you going to do that?!", Vansu asked furiously.

"By using this technique.", Roy answered.

Roy changes his position. Covers the Demonic Saber with its scabbard, holds it in his right hand and grabs the nunchucks using his left. Then Roy takes a deep breath. He breathes in. He breathes out. He inhales again and exhales again. Then Roy shouts.

"Determination Drive!", Roy shouted.

A crimson aura then comes out of him. Roy opens his eyes, revealing his reddish eyes. Even though all of them couldn't sense energy, they all feel it and they become afraid, including Vansu. Varari's amazed by this.

'So this is the power of the Ultimate Ninja. The power of Abellona Roy.', she thought.

Then suddenly Roy disappears from Varari's perspective as she blinks. As soon as Varari opens her eyes, all of the subordinates of Vansu are on the ground, knocked over. Roy's standing in the center of it. Vansu is left standing there in fright upon seeing this. Roy then slowly walks towards Vansu. Giving him an intimidating glare. Vansu walks back as well until he hits his back to a tree.

Vansu looks at Roy again. Roy throws away the nunchucks. Then he unsheaths the Demonic Saber. This causes Vansu to fear even more. Then Roy charges at him stabbing the tree behind Vansu. The sword is beside his head. Then he looks at Roy. Roy gives him a look that Vansu will never forget in his life. Then Roy blows in his face. Vansu panics and runs away from Roy, disappearing into the forest. Several of his ninja subordinates heads in the same direction as well.

Roy's crimson aura dissipates. He then faces Varari. Roy walks toward her and starts healing Varari. Varari smiles at him......then her face turns into a sudden realization expression. Roy notices this.

"What's wrong?", Roy asked.

"Isn't that the way towards school?!", Varari pointed.

"Oh, crap...", Roy realized.

Roy then jumps above the trees and run towards them. Varari, who's mostly healed, follows him. Sure enough, they see the school in front of them. As well as multiple ninjas appearing out of the forest, including Vansu, who's screaming from a distance.

Roy jumps over them and holds his sword bat. Several ninjas are too scared to fight him while others are scared enough to battle. They fight in front of the school. Some of them try to stab him with a kunai but they are all slowpokes. Roy manages to throw them away from the building. He then steps on the ground, creating a wall of ice with spikes. It didn't hit all of them because Roy is using this as a warning to them to never come here again. Vansu is already gone when Roy looks around. The other ninjas who are facing Roy then flee. Roy's ice wall with spikes soon collapses on itself when everything is done. Roy then hears a familiar voice.

"Roy? Is that you?"

Roy freezes. He knows who's speaking to him. Then he turns around slowly to see Yua there. Standing at the entrance of the door. Along with Alvin and Sara. They then walk towards Roy.

"Is that you, bro?", Alvin asked.

Then Alvin is soon interrupted by Varari who jumps behind them all. They all turn around and are shocked to see Varari there, holding a spear.

"What should we do with them?", Varari asked Roy.

Roy doesn't say anything first and is thinking. Then he speaks.

"Let's bring them to the principal.", Roy said in response.
