Chapter 60: An Alliance

As the bell rang, the fight began. I knew I had to something to show that we are truly not powerless. I thought too hard, and without even realizing it, I was totally open. Two of them hurled their bodies towards me, and I had no time to dodge. I was struck, collapsing to the ground. I was lightly bruised, but that still surprised me. "We'll be your opponents for now. Let's have fun, Johnny." With that, the both of them connected their hands, and with a burst of power, a bright light emerged from between them, and they were sucked into it. After about ten seconds, they came out, merged together. "Our Soul Emifer is to be together. If one of us were to be dead, we are totally useless, but as long as my brother is still alive, we are unstoppable, isn't that right, Kui?" Another voice appeared. "Yes yes, of course, brother Mui. Let's take care of this boy, shall we?" 

With that, they attacked. They were much faster, and much stronger as well. Whenever I was to try and run away, a wire would cut me, and propel me towards them. "That's my Soul Emifer, it's a wire which I can manipulate in any way I can, which is useful at some times. Have fun, Johnny." The third appeared, gripping nothing in his hands, but when I looked closer, I could see a thin line, and that was probably the wire. "Hey, don't space out!" 

They punched me at full force, and when I was pushed back, the wire cut me deeply. Untra was still watching on his throne. "This is beautiful. This tag team is powerful, very powerful Johnny." I smirked, and infront of each and every one of them, I turned into nothing but dust. They were all fazed, except for Untra. "I felt like it wasn't him, it was too easy, isn't that right, Johnny?" Untra turned behind him, and grabbed a figure. It was me. He grabbed me by the neck and said in simple tone, "But you aren't Johnny either, aren't you?" I smiled, and faded once again. Untra was examining everywhere I could be. He suddenly stopped looking, and broke his throne. I wasn't there either, however. I was laughing, and I made sure they could here.

"In a game of tricks, you can't top me. It's even easier to trick all of you being alone. Now, let's start the actual battle." The guards rung the bell, which meant that 10 minutes have passed. "20 more minutes before this battle ends, let's see how it will end, shall we?" A guard said, taking Tou's position as the commentator. 

While I watched them from the sides, I threw a kunai towards the wire guy. It was invisible, of course. When it was at point blank range, It became a solid knife, extremely sharp, going towards his chest. He didn't have time to react. He took the impact at full, and started bleeding, until he fell unconscious due to blood loss. "He isn't dead, so I'm safe, but guards, you should treat him, he might die of blood loss. He's type... A positive." I appeared infront of them, which surprised the Kui-Mui beast. They started chasing towards me, trying to kill me. They were reckless, causing a ruckus in the stage. I smiled, and this time, instead of using a kunai, I threw a sword towards him. "This is my prized possession, go now, and do your duty, Unis!" This time, I made it materialize a bit earlier, so that the impact would be at full. The sword pierced through the combined's body, seperating the two of them. "Just as I thought, you were merged, but that body doesn't harm your natural bodies, but I doubt you can use it now, I'll take care of the two of you, sooner or later." 

Untra retaliated this time. He quickly took care of my double, and then started looking for me, scanning the entire arena. "Kui, Mui, stay with me, Johnny's in the sky, flying somehow, and he also is invisible, for some reason," Untra was thinking however. Thinking of way's to defeat me, but my hiding place was flawless, or so I thought.

My head started pounding, and my rift was opened forcefully. Mikasa stuck her head out, "Hey, Johnny. I see Unis is missing, are you fighting someone? Hey, hey, can I help?" I was very angry. "Mikasa... you just gave out my position." I sighed, and then told her she can help me out. I decided to stop hiding, so I took off my coating of Yagrik which reflected light in such a way my image couldn't be seen. "So there you are... and she seems like, your familiar?" I laughed. We both descended, and I scanned the enemy. "So it seems like you have two Soul Emifers Johnny, you are quite the interesting one, that Mikasa though, what kind of abilites does she have, oh I wonder."

I decided to make this much easier, so I simply glanced at Kui and Mui with such intensity they flinched, and in that split second of a moment, Mikasa charged upto Kui, and stabbed him with her sword. He screamed with pain. "Kusanagi, I guess? What happened to Shachi? Don't need the both?" She smiled, and licked the sword clean. "Of course not? Hmm, tastes fine, I guess, well now its the other's turn." With that, she quickly switched her swords from Kusanagi to Shachi, and then stabbed Mui, and, to his surprise, the sword just started biting through his clothing, then his skin, piercing him. "And that's two gone. Need help with the last?" The bell chimed. "10 minutes remaining. If they survive they'll be a special round held." Untra was quite interested. "Oh, a special round, let's see what that is. Guess I'll just have to survive."

While Untra started to prepare running, Mikasa went towards him, and tried to stab him, and he rolled his eyes. He easily dodged her weapons, without even trying really. Mikasa was irritated, and repeatedly tried to hit him, but with no luck. "M..Mikasa stop. Let's think about this." She sighed, threw Shachi at him, and then went towards me. "Why did yo-" . "Shachi's second nature. It'll hunt anyone's scent, as long as I tell it whose, and right now it's following Untra's scent, his special scent." Untra had a large grin on his face, he then took off his shirt and threw it at my face, and then covered himself with Mui's and Kui's clothing, to weaken the scent, and then Shachi went towards me.

"I control him, you know?" I halted Shachi with simply my glare, and then the sword went back towards Mikasa, and then went into her rift. "Well I'm bored, so I'll be going." and with that, she forcefully opened my rift and entered it. She then asked me to turn a piece of Yagrik into a manga, and I quietly obliged. "Thanks!" She then closed it. When she closed it, Untra went towards me, and tried to punch me. I barely dodged it.

"Woah, atleast have some honor. Wait for your opponent." I said, grabbing his fist, and then twisting it. He was in pain, but was smiling. "There is about, three minutes left, I guess we'll see what this special match is, well since I already know, I'll tell you right now." I was quite interested actually. "My Soul Emifer... can see the future." I was half surprised, because I thought about that being a possibility when he dodged all of Mikasa's attacks. "I'm assuming it's your eyes? You are always wearing sunglasses, and you usually cover it, I'm assuming one of your eyes look different, am I right?"

He grinned, and took off his glasses. I was spot on. One of his eyes was turquoise, and the other one was of a totally different one. It looked like a Triangle within His eye, and Within the Triangle, there is a square which had a clock in it, and on the clock, rather than having normal 1,2,3,4... 12, it was written as 24,25,26,27....36 , so I guessed it could see at most twelve hours in the future. "I'm trying to increase it's size. When I first noticed it, the last number was 25, I've been growing, but still, it's slow." He said, smirking.

I decided to trust him, and waited a little bit, until the death match. A few times he tried to punch me, and one time I took the hit to see his true strength, but it seems like he held back. After that, the three minutes quickly passed, and the bell was rung three times consecutively, notifying us that it ended.

"The third round has ended, so now we'll go into the special round!" he said. When he ended talking, I saw Tou, and I quickly guessed what would happen. "Well, as you would think, I'm your opponent. The remaining people, well, the both of you. will team up to fight against me, and whoever can take me down will be considered the champions, and Johnny, as a restriction you can't use either of the following: Mikasa,Yagrik, or Unis. the choice is yours. I smirked and chose to not use Mikasa, as she is usually fussy either way. 

"I'm not going to use Mikasa, I guess." Tou was a bit surprised, she probably thought I would leave Unis, but I would say Unis is actually more power then Mikasa, and in a sense, one of the more powerful Soul Emifers, close to Yagrik. But, the problem is Unis is still in its testing form, meaning it could at any time backfire and may as well consume my soul, like the previous legends say. They were about how the old Mei users who used to own two Soul Emifers, would have their soul eaten by one of the Soul Emifers, making it exponentially strengthen. After that this Soul Emifer would look for another soul which was similiar to its previous soul. They would usually look for people who already activated one, to consume it and become more stronger. Soon, those Soul Emifers had there own minds, and became mindless consumers, managing to have themselves a physical form. Legend says that these forms still lurk around the universe, looking for other souls to consume.

So, I was always reluctant to use Unis, because the chances of my soul being eaten is large, considering it had hundreds of different types of Soul Emifers combined. "Hey, Johnny, you still there?" I spaced out, apparently. "Yeah, yeah. Okay, what are we doing?" Untra smiled. "Guess we are forming an alliance, to take down this old lady." Tou seemed angry. "I'm not that old!" She charged towards us, and the fight once again continued, this time with another comrade, yet I was sensing an eerie presence nearby. I ignored it for the time being and focused towards this battle. Tou, you'll be beaten, once again!
