Help from brothers from the past, sisters from the present

"Beware!"

While Ami was distracted by Kamiko, a large demon walked around her and attacked with a blade, which was stopped by someone's spear. It reflected the demon's attack, and with the next blow finished her off. Ami ran her eyes from the tip along the trunk to the hands holding it. The girl couldn’t hold back her tears, seeing another friend at.

"F-Fumiko! And you're here!?"

"When did we last see each other, Ami? At university? Although We were constantly watching you from the shadows."

It can’t be… you haven’t changed much, only your hair looks even more like marshmallow!”

"Ha-ha-ha, I told you, sister!"

"Sister!? "

"That's right, we haven't met like this before. We’re Miyata, the founder of the Shinto group dedicated to Amaterasu."

“All this time… my paranoia wasn’t unfounded…”

"Sorry, we wanted to help you discreetly, but not all monks are stealth like me." Kamiko giggled.

"We'll celebrate the meeting later! What 's going on here, Ami!?"

Meanwhile, Hidora has finished forming thousands of heads, according to Mellow's estimates.

"So many sacrifices for me! Inazuma no Arashi!" A thousand heads of Hidora roared. "A storm of lightning!"

Thousands of electrical poles formed at the same moment, randomly striking targets on the ground. This only strengthened the demons: they were magnetized into more powerful creatures. The monks were charred to death. Ami quickly pulled Fumiko towards her and covered her with an umbrella, under which Kamiko hid with a deft movement.

One of the stray lightning bolts struck the base of the tree Miku was sitting on, hitting Keshita and scorching her cloak. Miku fell from the top, but the cloak's "airbag" function protected her. The girl got rid of the excess and ran up to Keshita, who was lying unconscious. Miku managed to rouse him, he opened his eyes and muttered something without coming to his senses.

"This…"

"Are you okay?"

Miku placed Keshita's head on her lap and gently shook his cheeks.

"…Hidora… Orochi is in Izanami's power… there’s a giant sphere above… it must be destroyed…"

"Huh? Stop reading Ami's mind, come back!"

However, Keshita was lost in the darkness of his own mind and became tightly fused with Ami's thoughts when the lightning struck.

"Understood!" Mellow concluded seriously. "We'll hold off the demons, and you'll finish what you started."

"Okay, be careful! I also want to eat yakitori with you!"

Ami left the Sun Guardians and headed towards Hidora.

"Hey, Omosa!" Mellow shouted towards the other side of the demon-smashing cyborg giant. "Don't overdo it! Your main task is to protect Magmatama!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Jan replied, confusing Fumiko for a moment.

"This isn't the time for this, Mellow!" Kamiko countered, pointing her katana in the other direction. "Those demons are up to something!"

The slime spawn was constructing something large, but Soda and Buki headed towards them. not let someone finish what they started.

Ami ran towards the mouth of the newly formed volcano. The demons tried to grab her, but the monks prevented them from fighting in an unequal fight. The girl changed the okobo mode, lengthening them, and ran straight across the spreading magma, as if on stilts.

"Even Kusanagi in his circular saw form couldn't handle it, and this sphere is too high… What could be stronger than Susanoo's power?…"

Ami thought, searching for an answer and continuing to look at the majestic high splashes of lava.

"Tell me, Kagutsuti!"

The girl suddenly froze, surveying the battlefield. Hundreds of monks who had come from Izumo and neighboring Shinto temples, bravely fighting the offspring of Yomi no Kuni, Kamiko and Fumiko's partners with them. And around them, a powerful fire was spreading, the heat of which was gradually forming a tornado, turning into a fiery tornado, reminiscent of deceased brother Kagutsuchi.

"How could I not have guessed it right away! Kagutsuchi killed Izanagi's father for his mother's death… with the help of a ten-fingered sword! "A sword higher than the gods!"

Ami turned the girl back to the mouth of the volcano.

"I’ll do it!"

Ami said resolutely, swallowing several beads and loading some into the handle of her umbrella. But, thinking, she stopped.

"For such height and gain… it’ll take everything! Do or die!"

Ami spent all her remaining magatama, fitting them into the handle like a belt of bullets into a machine gun, and moved closer to the pulsating mouth.

Hidora released lightning bolts one after another without stopping, randomly firing at the enemies. the glow of a thousand lightning bolts, the hydra lost a review. But one of the heads noticed the main target against the background of the flowing magma.

"There you’re! We’ll finish everything with one blow and turn you into ashes! Even from him we can extract genes. "

"Although…"

Suddenly the voice changed to a female one.

"I didn't want to do this to my beloved daughter!"

Ami approached the volcano's mouth. She placed the umbrella horizontally and grabbed the trunk with one hand and the handle with the other. Ami pulled the rod out of the trunk, revealing the sword's scales as it came out.

"Kusanagi no tachi!"

Umbrella trunk girl She put it behind her back, changing the umbrella mode. The ribs and petals transformed, constructing armor over Ami to protect against lava splashes. The girl walked right up to the pulsating flow and placed the sword there. Changing its mode, the sword became flexible like a snake, and the flow carried it upward. The number of scales increased, and the magatama beads were spent one after another. Ami swung her leg and powerfully kicked the ground, moving a huge layer of solidified lava, closing the crater. The surface beneath her continued to boil, trying to break out, but for some time Ami managed to stop the flow of lava and gases. Above, without pumping, pieces of lava slowed down and solidified along with particles of Hidora's blood, which grew onto Kusanagi 's scales.

"Kusanagi Totsuka Tsurugi! "

Ami declared as she changed the sword's mode and 'sealed' it in that state.

"Ten-fingered sword-damask! "

The "ten metacarpus" blade reached an astonishing length of several hundred meters, consisting of the scales of Yamata no Orochi and volcanic magma with the blood of Yamata no Hidora.Ami began to spin her sword, actively helped by the raging fire tornado.

"Have you never realized that no attack can kill the dead?"

Countless heads roared. However, even with such a sword, Ami couldn’t reach even the nearest heads. Using the umbrella as a platform for flight wasn’t available. Therefore, Ami used the last resort.

"Okobo kodo: bakutsu! Bot Code: Marshmallow Explosion!"

The sandals melted, greatly increased in volume, and then suddenly lengthened and launched Ami into the air. In a couple of seconds, the okobo exploded and the shock wave gave the girl even more momentum, burning her legs.

Ami, pushing and pulling the long sword behind her, increased its rotation, fueled by the fire tornado.

"Idainaru Ankoku Jikiarashi!"

The heavens cracked from the simultaneous roar of a thousand heads of Hidora.

"Great Dark Magnetic Storm!"

Thousands of lightning bolts flew out of the monster's mouth and, writhing like snakes, created a pattern of a branching tree, converging towards Ami into one single dark stream of energy.

Ami's sword, despite its size, twisted like a whip. The girl waved it, strengthening both the tornado. It merged with the volcanic smoke and turned into a fantastic magnetic storm with new lightning. Ami pressed the handle, and the sword hardened, straightening. The girl directed it straight at Hidora's discharge and again split it into a thousand lightning bolts, which were refracted by the magnetic storm.

"Haku, please…" Ami prayed for her disassembled umbrella. "Another miracle."

Haku is a short name meaning "white". Full name: Hakkakukyou Ken — Eight-sided Mirror Sword.

When the hot plasma was cut, a loud, booming crack was heard, as if the heavens were splitting. The umbrella petals cracked inside and out.

"Yomi!!! No!"

Ami screamed in fear, looking at her armor.

When the girl was at the right height and visibility from above became available, she moved on to the final attack.

"Kusanagi Totsuka Tsurugi: Hebi no Shi! Ten-fingered Damascus Sword: Snake Death!"

Spinning by inertia and the rising flow of the tornado, Ami, with powerful swings of her long blade, chopped off heads by the hundreds, until their number reached thousands of severed ones. They began to fall to the ground without the possibility of merging.

"No… No! This can't be!" The fallen snakes cried out. "What have you done?!"

Ami rode the tornado straight up to the sphere and raised the blade over it, bringing it down and splitting it in half. A second later, a stream of blood gushed out and the sphere began to split further, suddenly giving off a deafening screech.

"No-o-o-o-o!" All Hidora’s heads began to squeal slowly, melting. "Amaterasu! We let's extinguish the light of your soul!"

Hidora fell silent with a curse on his myriad lips.
