Casseus now scanned the grounds of the Nakomoto clan. "Report?"
"All units in position sir," a voice crackled over the radio. "Orders?"
Casseus smirked, giving the signal. The wizard smirked as the perimeter guards now fell to the snipers shots. Tonight the Normal would take their revenge.
*******************
"Lady Aiko!"
Aiko grimaced, turning to her guard. The Normal had surprised the Yakuza, moving quickly to dispatch any resistance within 20 minutes. Aiko had acted quickly upon discovering what the Normal were planning. Ordering her sons and the highest ranking Yakuza to evacuate. While her eldest son had vehemently refused, Aiko had finally convinced him. The clan must survive the night.
"Has my son and the others left," she asked.
"They have my lady," her guard replied. "Lord Ichiro was none too pleased."
"My sons pride will heal," Aiko replied, loading her rifle as she shouldered her glaive. "But these vermin will not destroy the clan!" Exiting her room, the kitsune vixen beheld her brother Akira awaiting her.
"Thank you Akira," she sighed, gripping her brother in a tight hug.
"I came as soon as I heard," Akira stated. "I will always come to your defense little sister." Aiko could only smirk as the two kitsune now entered the courtyard, Casseus smiling at them with close to a hundred soldiers at his disposal.
The kitsune siblings looked to eachother, sharing a glance. The two had been through enough battles to know this was the end. Akira now sighed, withdrawing his katana as Aiko leveled her rifle at the approaching soldiers. "It has been an honor to fight by you side brother."
Casseus could barely contain his joy. Akira and Aiko would die this evening, finally he would take revenge on the kitsune who ended his life.
A bolt of lightning now struck the courtyard, Akira and Aiko shielding their eyes as Normal soldiers were thrown back. Akira now tried to focus, his eyes going wide as he beheld two figures standing in front of him.
"Fukushu?"
The nine tailed kitsune and his assassin lover now stood between the two kitsune and the Normal. Fukushu narrowed his eyes, his tails darting outwards ensnaring several soldiers. "What are you waiting for Akira," he barked. "Our people do not cower before such vermin." Akira nodded, charging forward as the two kitsune warriors began to attack.
"Abolith protect Aiko," Fukushu bellowed. "Aiko provide cover fire. Tonight the Normal shall pay for their transgressions."
Casseus snarled, he was so close to his revenge. Now he watched as the two kitaune began to carve their way through his troops. Summoning forth his spear he could do little more than attempt to stop them with blasts of magical energy.
Akira and Fukushu began to systematically eliminate soldiers. Deflecting bullets and slashing opponents to ribbons. The two were in perfect synch with one another, one attacking as the other defended. Soon the two had fought their way to Casseus, the dark wizard attempting to stop them with a bolt of magical energy. Akira now deftly cleaved the bolt in two as Fukushu sprang forward, slashing Casseua across the chest.
Casseua stumbled, blocking a strike from Akira. As he moved to strike it was now Fukushu who blocked as Akira delivered a critical blow. Casseua was thrown backwards, his soldiers in disarray. Panic was overcoming his men as the four defenders turned the tide of battle. Casseus now tried to stand, his eyes growing wide as he watched Akira and Fukushu conjure forth a wave of mystical fire.
"Tbis isn't over," Casseus screamed. "I will have my revenge!" The dark wizard now teleported away as the fire engulfed the courtyard. As the flames dissipated Akira and Aiko gazed over the courtyard. They had successfully repelled the Normal.
Abolith now joined Fukushu, the nine tail kitsune and elf assassin studying the siblings carefully. "As long as Casseua and the Normal draw breath I will fight them," he stated. "If you ever need my assistance Aiko I will answer the call."
Aiko bowed, thanking Fukushu as the nine tailed now turned to Akira. "You fought well my old apprentice," he smirked. "Keep training. Perhaps you may become a worthy warrior."
Akira chuckled, flashing a grin as Abolith and Fukushu now vanished.now It appeared that for the time being Fukushu could be considered a powerful ally.
