You’re not a good liar Carlos.
Talon: “Well Vandel, Senshi is Dead.”
Vandel: “What!?”
Vandel whips around to face my shocking statement, I don’t really blame but….
Talon: “Yep, I could tell Carlos was lying.”
Vandel: “….You don’t seem bothered by her death.”
Talon: “We don’t have time to grieve. Anyway, I need to collect her soul, stay here around this general area.”
Vandel: “Wait a minute!”
Talon: “Yeah….”
Vandel: “Are you really on our side? Why did it take so long for you and Moryuu to come help us? How many times did I-”
Talon: “One question at a time man. You don’t have to worry, I’m on your side.”
Talon: “We didn’t come earlier because it was hard for me to open a portal into this hell, it took….a long time.
Talon: “….It doesn’t matter, as long as this is the last time.”
Vandel: “….”
Talon: “Gather your strength, we still need to be the heroes Nu needs. I won’t be long.”
I turn my back to the shaken Vandel and open a portal to the starting warehouses. I step through and thank the big guy upstairs that we were close by anyway. I wouldn’t want to teleport all over the place.
Talon: “I must really be lucky, there're no monsters here.”
I still carefully watch my step on the cold metal floor covered with rust. I stalk through the crimson lit corridors of the warehouse until I see, Senshi’s soul. A faint glowing outline of a person lies on the ground.
Weird, usually they’re all blue but there’s some orange color mixed in.
Talon: “Whatever, let’s get it done.”
ROOAARR!!
Talon: “What the heck?”
I ducked behind a corner and saw a creature two heads taller than me and I’m pretty tall. It was something like a werewolf but far more hideous and all black, as if it came from the shadows. Just looking at it is giving me a headache.
The creatures stalked the room where Senshi was in, what is it doing?
???: *Sniff* *Sniff* *Sniff*
The creature is getting closer to Senshi! I don’t know what it’s doing but I’m not taking a chance. I’ll just open a portal under its feet and send it outside.
???: “!!!”
What the hell, how did it dodge. Now it’s looking my way, I’m dying to this thing.
I turn around and go to open a portal, but the creature appears right in front of me. It uses its claws to swipe at me which pushes me back into Senshi’s room.
Talon: “GAH!”
I’m bleeding, on the floor and no help is coming. I raise my hands to teleport away but the creature catches my hand and threatens to crush it.
Is this how I die, after all that work….I can’t take my eyes off the creatures who’s raising their raven claws to end me. Will I spend the rest of eternity here? Will the God awaken because of me!?
Maybe they were right, I’m a fai-
???: “!!??”
I look up to see the ground below piercing the beast’s chest. It then collapses on the ground next to me.
???: “There’s no time to cry, I need answers and that beast won’t do.”470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUGiD4uuVE
Talon: “Who said that? Stop lying, I’m not crying!”
???: “The water streaming down your face says otherwise.”470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDUxZRan1P
I touch my face and they’re right, I’m….crying. I wipe my face and stand up.
Talon: “Forget what you saw. Now, who are you and where are you?”
Senannashi: “My name is Senannashi, a Goddess. I’m currently inside Senshi’s soul.”470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYDNJCDgRE
Talon: “*Sigh* I think we have enough Gods thank you. So you’re that orange light within Senshi, do you remember anything?”
Senannashi: “….No, where is this?”470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaJCI69sZX
Talon: “I see, I guess you’re stuck in the loop with her too?”
Senannashi: “Excuse me?”470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsNHbinRu7
Was she awake every time, I don’t think so. Maybe since Senshi awoke her this round, and now she has enough power to be aware this time. This could be helpful….
Senannashi: “EXCUSE ME.”470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEawPtGT6w
Lose in my thoughts, I failed to notice the earth daggers near my skull.
Talon: “Killing me won’t help you. My name is Talon and boy do I have a story for you.”
I told her everything and I can’t really tell how she feels about it, she‘s just light right now.
Senannashi: “….That is quite the tale, if it wasn’t for Senshi’s current state I wouldn’t believe you.”470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeEp4z5YL5
Talon: “Great, so can I collect her soul now?”
Senannashi: “So when Senshi goes to her rightful place, I’ll be sent home instead so I can find another living host right?”470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEuL7rDfIw
Talon: “Yeeeah, probably….”
Senannashi: “….”470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXMUl9lxBf
Talon: “….Definitely.”
Senannashi: “I’ll choose to believe you for now, take care of her.”470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHGVcrlHzB
Talon: “You can count on me, I know the perfect place to store everyone’s souls. Still, I need to report back to Vandel first before he gets worried. Please don’t say anything when I do, I don’t want to give him further shocks.”470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkBVb4jtfv
Senannashi: “I understand, let’s be off then. I sense more monster creatures approaching.”470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvIsfIB99e
Talon: “Noted.”
I take out a small yellow hollow lantern looking device. I reach out my hand so it’s close enough to Senshi’s soul. Before long the lantern is filled with orange and white light.
Senannashi: “This device is quite interesting, I would love to know about where you came from.”470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2le6oz6HV
Talon: “You’re not the only one, remember to stay silent when we get back to Vandel.”470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvszrYUy14y
Alight time to head back, I open a portal and step through hoping to see Vandel in one piece.
I’m sure nothing happened while I was gone for longer than expected…. 470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vw3Bt5tAy

That’s 3 pillars and I don’t think I have the strength to keep going without transforming. But, I don’t think that’ll be a problem anymore.
Gideon: “Hello Moryuu, still have strength for one more?”
Moryuu: “For you, always.”
I get off the dead building-sized spider and face Gideon.
Gideon: “You made quite the mess.”
Moryuu: “Oh you mean the corpses of your umbras and creatures, yeah, I didn’t notice.”
Gideon: “I should be guarding my respective pillar but I think it’s better to get rid of you before you cause any more damage.”
Moryuu: “Yeah, that sun does seem like it’s setting.”
Gideon: “And we can’t have that now can we.”
Moryuu: “Of course not my good man.”
After our exchange of words, there’s only thing left to do. It all came down to who made the first move.
For what seemed like infinity within a moment, we just stood there glaring each other.
But this visual stalemate had to come to an end.
Gideon and Moryuu: “!!!”
I instantly transformed, feeling the power of lightning rush through me as I armed myself with my tonfa.
Gideon responded at the same time with a powerful left hook that clashed with my tonfa.
The clash caused an immense Shockwave that broke the ground under us, shattered all glass in the area and obliterated the corpses.
The blast pushed us back some but no damage was dealt.
Gideon brushes off the slight dust the blast caused.
Gideon: “You held back before.”
Moryuu: “So did you, but this time….”
I supercharge myself with lightning and open my eyes to reveal their now light blue color.
Moryuu: “There’s no walking away from this.”470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0trmcAzMI8

Ravage: “What a great view, a nice roof to see the fight.”
Ravage: “Hehehe, oh blue, please give me a good show.”
