{Rikuo POV}Ryouta: Let"s show them why they call us Devil may cry
Hyakki Yagyō: Yeah
Rikuo: I see we have the hardest mission" he looks and sees tons of Yokai coming out of the gate"
Tsurara who by his side nods
Tsurara: Are you sure about this?
Rikuo thinks back
------------------
A few days ago
Setsuna appears before the Nurariyon asking for aid.
Nurariyon: So you"re saying that a person named Ryouta is asking for my help?
Setsuna: Yes, He said he can"t fight the enemies by himself. So he sought help from the strongest Yokai
Nurariyon laughed proudly
Gyuki who is the brains of the Nura clan spoke up
Gyuki: You said he is an exorcist correct? "which she nodded" Then Why is he asking for our help? Is he trying to get rid of the Supreme one?
Setsuna: No he wouldn"t do a thing like that
Gyuki: You seem to speak up for him...you haven"t fallen for him have you?
He gave Setsuna a meaningful look and she went red and the room was getting colder
Setsuna: N-n-no I haven"t...he has helped many yokai out.
Rikuo: who is that guy your speaking of
Rikuo who was at the meeting spoke up
Setsuna hesitates for a moment, thinking of what she should say. Gyuki notices her slight pause
Setsuna: he is your upper cla.s.smate Ryouta
Rikuo: Huh, are you serious...wait is he an exorcist?
Setsuna: Kind of...he deals with harmful Yokai but doesn"t bother nonharmful ones...Also, he doesn"t kill yokai. He sends them back to the underworld...
she looks at Nurariyon and said
Setsuna: he is also the owner of Mononokean
This shocked all the elders in the room
Rikuo and the younger and weaker Yokai were confused
Rikuo: Mononokean?
The supreme commander looks at his grandson and responded
Nurariyon: It"s a yokai which has the ability to travel anywhere...The owner of it is said to be an exorcist for the demons sake...
Seeing Rikuo still confused Gyuki finishes up
Gyuki: Young master, think of him as a cop for yokai. If they are bad he will hunt them down, if they are good he will help them out...if they are too weak to handle things he will help them out. However, if he finds them menacing he will get rid of them for good.
After a bit of silence, Setsuna spoke up
Setsuna: This will affect the world. Their goal is to destroy the world and create a new one...this doesn"t just include killing the humans but every creature even Yokai will be erased
Rikuo: Then I will go help him out
Everyone in the room was silent
Nurariyon: So do you plan to go alone
He said drinking his tea
Rikuo: grandpa I request the h.o.a.rd of 100 demons to join me in this fight
Nurariyon was shocked for a moment and before he could respond
Rikuo: I don"t know why but my blood is boiling right now. Thinking about losing everything makes me anxious but running away doesn"t seem right...
Nurariyon agreed to lend him his h.o.a.rd...
Rikuo left to prepare and Setsuna stayed behind. The only ones left in the room with her was Gyuki and the Supreme Commander
Gyuki: So who is the boy? I know you went investigating him
Setsuna wasn"t shocked by him knowing and looks at Nurariyon
Setsuna: he is The second"s child and the Supreme commander, grandson
Gyuki was shocked for a moment then remember the ways of Rihan in his youth
Nurariyon looks at her for a moment and ask
Nurariyon: ...so who is the mother?
Setsuna: Wakansama...as for why he doesn"t live here...that I do not know
Nurariyon:...Gyuki keep an I on the boy..." he rubs his chin" I"m interested in meeting this boy
-----------------------------
Gyuki: Young master now isn"t the time for reflecting there are many yokai around. You are the commander here so you have to give out orders
Gyuki said cutting a master level Yokai like paper. Gyuki scolding snaps Rukuo back into the battlefields.
Rikuo then starts fighting
A huge monk yokai was stomping enemies left and right. He sees a giant ox yokai and grabs it by the horn crushing it. that person was Aotabō
Another location another Yokai was fighting. He had the appearance of a handsome monk wearing a straw hat. He got surrounded by 10 or so yokai but suddenly they weapons appeared out of his body this person was Kurotabō
Kejōrō who saw this whistled thinking"everyone seems to be full fighting today
She then shoots her hair out killing tons of yokai. then using her fans kills a yokai that was appearing from the ground
A big yokai came from the sky and trying to attack her by surprise. however, it was instantly killed with string by a yokai who"s head is floating in the air.
Kubinashi: Not like you to not pay attention like that. You almost got recked by that giant yokai
He said with the string he used to kill in his mouth
Kejoro: oh sorry I saw Ryouta fighting and thought he was amazing
Kubinashi: Ryouta? the one who looks like the second? where is he
She didn"t say anything
As they were fighting a giant man came out of the gate
He was emitting a huge energy
Rikuo was shocked
Rikuo: what is this...is this yokai aura
Gyuki who took a blunt of the malice energy shook his head
Gyuki: no its killing intent...he has killed many people before
Rikuo: Well I can"t let this guy have his way! Rikuo walked up to him
Gyuki: wait, young master,
He tried to go after him but a man blew fire at his back hurting him...
As he was blasted he turns and sees a man
Man: h.e.l.lo I am a monk. I have come to slay you evil yokai. I am Renkotsu. all your evil deeds will be cleansed by me!
Gyuki looks and sees Renkotsu is a bald adult male. He has purple marks that run up each side if his face and a pointed mark in the middle of his forehead. He is apparently able to conceal the marks and enlarge the irises/pupils of his eyes
After a moment he recalls a story of seven warriors who are some of the most powerful warriors in the world. They were humans as powerful as the strongest Yokai... leader was the strongest. who makes the others look like ants...they were ultimately sealed away by a celestial at a huge cost to him. Renkotsu was said to be the second in command and the strategist of the group.
Gyuki: I know who you are... I know that even though you look pure and have a pure aura you"re a monster who eats human children to extend your life.
Renkotsu: haha so you realize it was me. I"m surprised my name is well known to such a little boy like you. Man but I don"t eat them to extend my life...I just love seeing babies humans, Yokai and all other creatures dying.
Gyuki prepares his weapon. He knows the people coming out are weaken from their transfer. but this guy...weaken is still a monster
Suddenly a blizzard goes attacking Renkotsu
Shocking him and Renkotsu
Setsuna: remember Yokai don"t fear anything
Gyuki twitch responding " I wasn"t scared I was worried about the young master"
---------------------
Rikuo goes to the huge creature and looks it up and down
The big yokai? looks at Rikuo and licks it lips
big yokai?: I am Kyōkotsu. You two look very tasty which one of you wants to be eaten first.
The big yokai? said looking at Rikuo and Tsurara
He saw Kyōkotsu has spiky dark green hair and bloodshot, beady eyes. Under his eyes are a pair of dark blue stripes. He has teeth that are rather sharp, jagged, and near demonic in appearance. His most distinct physical characteristic is his abnormally large body; his body is such a size most likely because he has devoured many yōkai and his body mutated as a result
Rikuo: I"m sorry but I won"t let you. Today you will die
Kyokotsu: haha little boy. These words were said all my life and all of them ended up in my belly
Rikuo frowned and ready his blade and swung it attacking him but he has easily blocked the blade with his fist and punched with the same hand sending him crashing into a wall.
Tsurara: Young master
She attacks Kyokotsu with her Ice breath while moving towards Rikuo
Kyokotsu: haha what was that. cold air, haha. Are all of you yokai gone so weak
Tsurara glares at him
Rikuo is struggling to get up, but when he sees him approaching he grabs Tsurara and blocks him from harming her with his body and they are sent far away. Tsurara falls from his hands and then Tsurara quickly fires her icicles at him but he slowly walks towards Tsurara and Rikuo treating them like babies
Kyokotsu: haha you yokai always do the same trick. You"re always one trick ponies...haha I love seeing the look on you yokai faces when you have fear on your faces.
Rikuo who finally gets up looks confuse
Rikuo: what are you talking like you"re not a yokai
Kyokotsu: haha I"m not. I"m human...I just eat yokai and humans. Which gives me power...haha I love their bodies and the taste of their flesh. I love eating them alive. Seeing their look as they know they"re going to die asking for me to just kill them, hahaha
Rikuo who heard this shook him...A human.A human but why. why is he doing this
Kyokotsu: haha look at your face. did you think I was a yokai? HAHAHA nope, I"m a human...
Rikuo didn"t know what he should do...should he fight this guy is a monster but he"s human...A second ago his sword was talking to him but now it"s silent
Suddenly kyokotsu arm was coming fast at Rikuo when a bunch of paper came blocking his attack which startled the giant man
Anita and her two sisters came in front of him
Anita turns and looks at him. and yells
Anita: what are you standing around for. you almost got killed because you lost focus
She then turns running on the arm using her paper to cut one of the arms off
he just takes the arm and attaches it and laughs but suddenly the other two attack with tons of paper birds and once that was done the eldest trapped him in a giant paper ball
Anita looks at him
Rikuo:but he-hes human
Anita goes up to him and punches him in the face
Anita: look around and look at what he did. Your friend almost died and look at your other friends. You think he"s human...no he is a monster wearing human skin...are you going to let your family die?
Anita is the type of person..after meeting Ryouta who views friends as a family so when she think as someone as her friends...a true friend she thinks of them as her family so she thinks everyone thinks the same way as her.
Rikuo looks at the girl his age and slowly gets up. Then he heard a voice in his head...it was Ryouta
Ryouta: First sense the flow of energy then release the power going bam gya whoose
Rikuo:...
Ryouta: First inject your aura into your blade
Rikuo did and the sword changed shape shocking him
The paper sisters shocked at the changed of the weapon. the giant was tired of the paper and decided to destroy it but to his surprise, it was stronger than it looks
Ryouta: find the rift, or scar, between two auras of Tessaiga"s wielder and the opposing person. Once the rift is found, the wielder of Tessaiga can swing the sword into the rift, releasing a powerful energy wave that has the power attack.
Rikuo saw a rift and hesitate to continue
Ryouta notices this and says
Ryouta: Oh he"s not living anymore...he"s not a human anymore he"s a ghost...
Rikuo: what? but that"s huh?
Ryouta: don"t worry about his form it"s complicated just do your attack
Rikuo focuses on the scar and he yelled at the girls to release the paper. he then swung at the giant attacking him. Rikuo screams his attack
Rikuo: WINDSCAR
And a bunch of wind like attacks came attacking the giant. It was said that with a windscar it could slay a hundred demon with a single slash.
With that attack Rikuo destroyed all but part of the giants head...he didn"t see that a figure came out of nowhere grabbing the giants head
the figure then called the second in command to come back
-------------------------------
Renkotsu who is fighting two powerful yokai frowns. All three of them are powerful. He is going all out but he isn"t able to get an advantage...he feels that even if he was a full strength he would lose. suddenly he gets a call from the commander and he flys to the gate
Gyuki squints his eyes as he sees him going back to through the gate..
Setsuna: why did he go back?
Gyuki: he was summoned back
he then heard him say we are the weakest of all of the seven. The others are leagues above us and the commander...he makes us look like ants
---------------------------------
Renkotsu: commander why did you summon us back
Commander: Well, I feel that we should wait till we"re at full power...the true strongest were watching in the background if they were to attack we would have died...well you guys would have
The bodiless giant spoke
giant: they are lucky I was in my weakest power...if I was in my full they would be dead already...but that sword was scary...
the commander didn"t say anything and looked at his second in command and squints and sees he wasn"t even a little injured...but he looked like he was struggling..
commander: "I wonder when you will betray me"
-------------------------------
Rikuo is exhausted along with the girls.
Eldest sister: wow that was hard. Helping everyone was tough
Middle sister: hmm I wonder if Ryouta will be alright
Anita: we can"t rest we have to huh what"s in the sky
Rikuo who was thinking where did Ryouta go when he heard his voice looked in the sky and saw two things falling to the ground one was Ryouta"s left hand and the other was an injured Kitarou
Rikuo ran over to him along with Anita and the sisters
Rikuo: what happens
Anita: what happened to Ryouta...
Kitarou was pa.s.sed out, along with daddy eyeball in his hands
an injured cat girl walked over to them. the kitarou family were helping the other yokai
Neko-san: Ryouta what happen to him
Daddy eyeball: He lost his arm to save Kitarou...Kitarou almost lost himself to rage when Ryouta Sent him over back...
Rikuo: then he"s alright?
Daddy eyeb.a.l.l.s: close your eyes and see
they did and they saw Ryouta and ...Baki fighting an injured Nanashi smiling
The people who were awake saw this too
