With White being taken out of commission, only the three of us was remaining on the fight against The 4th Chaos Champion, Kitsuneki. The others were busy dishing out the Yokai around the graveyard and Lin was guarding the restless Zenith. Ethereal, Violet and I were the only one left able to fight that fox.
"Finally, the foolish boy has succumbed to his defeat." Kitsuneki laughed at his achievement.
Ethereal was dragging away White to a better place while he was still laughing.
"What are we going to do, Yumiko?"
"The only way we know of course..."
Violet nodded as I casually walked toward Kitsuneki and raised both of my hand into the sky.
"Alright, you did it. You've defeated our only hope of defeating you. We can't win anymore..."
Ethereal was surprised as she said, "Wait. Why are we surrendering? What are you doing Yumiko?"
"Are you serious, Ethereal? There's no way we can stand a chance against Kitsuneki. Might as well surrender to him and join him now. Come on, Violet."
"Unbelievable..." Ethereal despises me.
I walked toward Kitsuneki as cautiously as I could until he finally raised his fox paw and halted my movement.
"Surrendering so soon aren't you, Yumiko?"
"I did what I had to. You got to switch to the winning side if you want to win. It's nothing weird."
"Really? Then come here and bow down to me."
"Of course my lord..." I walked toward him and bowed down to him.
Then suddenly the fox grabbed by my throat and told me,
"You think I would be tricked again by your lies? Don't take me as a fool like your little group of friends over there..."
I looked at where the boys were fighting the other Yokai and witnessed them being completely overrun by the hundreds amount of vicious Yokai. The situation was dire. But there was no turning back.
"Resistance is futile. It's time to put you to sleep, traitor." Kitsuneki opens its mouth wide and begins to charged up the same chaotic beam that he did just a few moments ago.
I tried to push away from him but to avail at all as his grip was too much for me. I was losing control as Violet tried to save me. But she wasn't able to help me at all because the number of foxfires suddenly increased tenfold. Not allowing the execution to be disturbed at all. Kitsuneki finished charging his beam and shoots it out right in front of me.
My face slowly burns through the massive chaotic energy. Everywhere at my body was hurt by the beam. It was an execution like no other execution I could ever come out with. It was brutal...It was suffering...It was...the end...
-
"The end..."
-
"The end..."
-
"Hahahah...This was too funny..."
-
"Stupid fox, this was the end of my clone. Hahahahahaha..."
-
"And you think I would forget about that clone bullet that I used against White when we fight the other time?"
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
-
"Heh, you got to be kidding me. There's no way I would let myself into a death sentence."
-
I took off my pathetic disguise and revealed myself in front of that idiot.
The idiot responds, "...Yumiko? What...? But...I thought..."
I grinned at him. I tried my best not to laugh but I laughed at him. I laughed at the one and only, Cyclone White.
White was very confused, "Wait just a moment! Why were you disguising as Ethereal?!"
Yes. I disguised as Ethereal after all this time.
White continued, "Wait. Since when?"
"I'm glad you asked. I've been disguising as Ethereal ever since you got out of the arena after the Kitsuneki attack at the Koi Dragon Invitational."
"Wait...then that means...you've been with all this time?!"
I nodded and said, "Yup. I'm the one that gave you that tornado scroll. I'm also the one that told you about the Mikazuki Shrine. I've been disguising as her all this time. Don't worry about her; I've put her to a long sleep thanks to a scroll I got from the black market. She'll wake up once I rip apart the scroll that I placed on her."
"Unbelievable..." White was so tired that he didn't care anymore. "Fine...You got me there..."
"Oh and one more thing. You owe me one. I won the bet, right?"
"A deal is a deal but not now please...I can't even move." White continues to look into the sky.
"Fine...I'll finish this as soon as possible. Violet!"
"Yumiko! Finally! Have you got what you need at the shrine?"
"I do." I show her the item that I made way back at the shrine while White wasn't looking.
It was a whip with seven metal sticks that I got from the academy's Dean at its tips and it was covered with shoots and stems of the flowers from the shrine. It has been blessed by the moon thanks to the flowers. I called it, The Moon Catcher.
"Alright...It is still incomplete...but with the power of The Mikazuki Blade...I can bypass that. Violet!"
"Yes, Yumiko!"
Violet turns into her liquid form and flies around me. Soon after, her liquid form begins to change colour. She turned black, just like the liquid that tried to enter me when I was young. Only this time, I was ready. We were ready.
As soon as the liquid embellish me and turned me into a black silhouette, the liquid splattered like fruit juice. Finally, revealing our combined state. My hair and eye turned its colour into...violet. Violet and I fused together into something I like to call, Violet State!
"Let's finish this!" Two minds, one body and a unified voice stands tall and ready to end this chaos.
"Woah..." White was amazed.
"White...This isn't just your story now. You're not the only one writing your own story. Because I also help you at some point."
White smiled and said, "Very well...that's what all I need now..."
I grinned at him and quickly ran toward Kitsuneki who was still holding the lifeless body of my clone. Hundreds of foxfires tried to block our path but we immediately sliced them through with my chain whip. Any foxfire standing in our path would be captured and thrown away by our chain whip. As we finally reached Kitsuneki, we whipped his mouth.
His jaw started to bleed as he said in a shocking manner, "What is this?! Impossible! You shouldn't be like this! This is not what I had planned!"
"Hold on my lord, I'm coming to save you!" Nekomata tries to lunge on us.
But we quickly captured her and thrown her into the fox mouth. Immediately, I pushed the cat into Kitsuneki's throat by blasting the cat with a massive amount of rapid moving water. The cat was swallowed by the fox.
"No! You made me swallow my henchman! This is not what was destined for me! This is not what you're supposed to be. You're not supposed to be this powerful!"
"Of course not, Kitsuneki. From now on...this isn't just a single person's story. This is also our story!"
I quickly moved my whip and captured the fox. I threw him to ground, left and right, up and down. I continued to play around until finally, I quickly raised my whip into the night sky. The whip begins to magically extend thanks to the blessing of the moon and The Mikazuki Blade's energy. It continues to extend as far as possible until the chain whip manages to capture the whole moon from space! This is why it's called The Moon Catcher.
But it isn't in its completed form yet. So I end up only capturing a spiritual version of the moon. Think of it like a transparent looking moon. Except that I'm able to capture it. With all my strength, I pulled the 'not real moon' into the earth's atmosphere and smash it toward wherever Kitsuneki was trying to run away from. The 'not real moon' then slowly fades away into nothingness as I was able to see Kitsuneki was still breathing.
We grabbed The Mikazuki Blade that was next to White using our whip and used the blade to open The Rift of Time. I captured Kitsuneki for the last time and thrown him into the rift and quickly closed it off with The Mikazuki Blade. The Chaos Shogun is no more. Additionally, the 'not real moon' created moon dusts that suddenly kills off all of the rotten Yokai that came out of the rift. Leaving behind only Kitsuneki's remaining army whom quickly surrenders.
I breathed heavily as the battle was finished. I fell down to my back and sat down on the ground, looking at the night sky that was filled with beautiful moon dusts.
"That fox is finally gone. Now I just have to finish The Moon Catcher..."
My hair and eyes started to return to normal as Violet exits out of the State that we were in.
"We're done for today, Yumiko. You can think about the chain whip for another time..."
I slowly nodded to her as my eyes continue to focus on the moon.
"The moon is very different today." I told her.
"That's because that's a blue moon, Yumiko. Thanks to the moon dusts, it's even more blue than usual."
"The Blue Moon, huh. That sounds like a good name to use..."
