Chapter 25:
Bintchoo To Kukuru
At the Mardom Rooh base. Riku, Sato, and Masato sat at a table, surrounded by other Rooh Hunters. One of the hunters, Division 2, Rank 3, a man, Menjo. He was bald, but had a huge beard. His muscles were big, and he wore a tank top. “Menjo, can you tell Riku to calm down? This is worse than when he lost the bet.” Sato said. “I’m too busy to focus on your love life. So stupid, bringing me in at the last second for this.” Menjo said, going through papers. “It would be a love life, if Riku had won the bet.” Masato chimed in. “Shut it both of you. Unlike you two I have something to return to.” Riku said. “Oh yes young Yusuke, where is he? Still taking care of Yokai on Okinawa?” Sato asked. “Why do you care?” Masato asked. “Shut it both of you.” Riku said.
Director Noboru walked into the room, and briefed them on the mission. “At night we go in, and send out the first wave, a missile and some men. We test the waters, and make sure we need the extra force. Then by morning we surround the island, and assault it. I want every Yokai on the island killed, all Demi-Human’s as well. None of them can live.” Director Noboru said. “This is a genocide.” Sato said. “It will be, but it needs to be done. For the sake of Mardom Rooh.” Director Noboru said. “Why?” Masato asked. “Listen up, these are orders, and you are to follow them.” Director Noboru said. “I think the squad would feel better if they knew why sir.” Menjo said. “They are brainwashed monsters. Evil incarnate. Their queen controls them, and she will use them to wage war against Japan. So we have to kill them all to protect everyone.” the Director said.
The troops loaded into zeppelins, and it left heading towards Agaitiida. Riku pulled out his phone, and texted Yusuke, telling him to leave the Island. Sato wrapped her arms around Riku. “Singing Yusuke a bedtime story?” she asked. “No, just telling him to stay out of trouble.” Riku said.
Yusuke woke up on the ground, his breathing was harsh, and he struggled to move. He got onto his knees, and noticed his left hand burnt. He pushed himself onto his feet, and watched as Rooh Hunters landed on the island, being teleported in by Majutsu. “For Mardom Rooh!” a hunter yelled out charging at Yusuke. “Lightning Majutsu : Raijin’s blade.” Yusuke whispered, creating a blade of lightning, dodging the Hunter’s attack, and cutting the hunter down. More Hunters ran towards him. “Lightning Storm.” Yusuke said, as lightning surrounded his body, and he struck each hunter down in a matter of seconds.
Another missile shot from the zeppelin. “Sound Mafu : Utin’s Ward!” Makadu yelled out, the very nature of her voice blowing the missile up before it got close to the ground. “Yusuke, are you ok?” Yuna asked, running up to Yusuke. Makadu was also next to him. He looked at Yuna dazed. “Healing Majutsu : Jiichi’s Grace.” Yuna said. The area around Yusuke became crowded in Mabui, which hugged Yusuke, and provided him warmth, healing his injury. More Hunters teleported in. “Yuna, don’t hold back against them. They are here to kill you so do the same.” Yusuke said. Makadu walked towards the Hunters. “Oh, I don’t know about you two, but I’m going to beat them to death. Makadu said, grabbing a pair of sai from her back, hidden under her Ryusou. The Hunters charged at Makadu, each of them wielding a blade, black like a void, obsidian. Makadu caught an attack with her sai, and hit the Hunter away with her sai. Releasing their sword, and catching another's attack, and hitting them back. Another hunter charged at her, but a small fire ball hit them, blowing them up. “Sorry to interrupt, but I get a feeling it would have taken forever.” Yuna said.
“Yuna create a blade of water.” Yusuke said, appearing in front of a Hunter, and stabbing them. “How?” Yuna asked. “Control.” Yusuke said. Two Hunters rushed Yuna, she stopped one with a fireball, but the other went to swing at her, but he got tackled onto the ground by Hiroko, saving Yuna. “Ok, control.” Yuna said, trying to picture a sword of water. “Hiroko say Bazyabi.” Yusuke said. “Bazyabi.” Hiroko said. “Cool, but why?” Yuna asked. “Sound Mafu : Utin’s Direction.” Makadu said, causing all the Hunters to freeze. Yusuke used the opportunity effectively becoming a lighting bolt, and striking all of them down.
Three more groups teleported in. “How many more?” Yusuke asked. The three groups charged at the four. Yuna created a blade of water, and a Jian flew to Hiroko. Hiroko grabbed it, and unsheathed it, revealing an obsidian blade. “Let’s end them.” Yusuke said, covering himself in lightning. All four of them now armed fought against the Hunters, a four vs 30. Each managing to parry, and dispatch with ease. “Let me get in on this!” Ramon yelled, landing in between the Hunters, knocking them down. Ramon turned into a Wendigo, quickly dispatched as many Hunters as possible. Finally after a minute or two all the Hunters were taken care of. Yuna looked to Hiroko, seeing her hurt, and barely able to stand. Yuna hugged Hiroko. “I was worried.” Yuna said. “So was I.” Hiroko said, hugging back.
Yusuke patted himself off, and Pechin finally arrived. Makadu walked to them, telling them of the assault. “Why isn’t it doing anything? Send more people cowards!” Ramon yelled at the zeppelin. “That’s enough.” Yusuke said. “Hiroko, Yusuke come here, in the meantime, let’s heal some.” Yuna said, activating her Healing Majutsu. Ramon walked off. He watched as the Pecchin searched for survivors, finding some and carrying them away towards the castle. Ramon came across Sokon, he laid on the ground, dead.
Makadu walked to Yuna. “What now?” Yuna asked. “I don’t know. I’ve made sure the Pechin are alerted, but I doubt that’ll be it.” Makadu said. “Yuna, it’s only just begun.” Yusuke said, as the zeppelin flew away. “What?” Yuna asked. “The real assault starts in the morning.” Yusuke said. Makadu grabbed the book, and tried to translate what Yusuke said. “I’m missing a word. I got start, and morning.” Makadu said. “Assault.” Yuna said.
