Chapter 5: Sawano's Hidden Transformation

(After receiving the news, Sawano was then worried for the outcome of the future.

"Sawano: ....Me..?"
"Vanguard Wind: Why would they want him..?"
"Golden Clover: Targeting another student..?"
"Chimon: Sawano has an element even stronger than fire elements, not to mention his utter victories lately. His fights are what got him here and is the center of attention. If the clan gets their hands on you Sawano, your power plus theirs will mean the end of Earth. In other words, it's possible if you're in their hands it'll be something more deadlier than a negative twelve star situation."
"Sawano: Then what's the plan?"
"Vanguard Wind: He's right, since he's what they are after we need to think smart about this and we can't let them capture him. We need a plan to avoid casualties between the civilians, students and their mission to take Sawano."
"Bluebolt: What's the big deal? He's even weaker than all of us, how can someone like him be this big of a deal?"
"Crystalline: The fact he nearly obliterated me."

(Everyone was shocked as Crystalline walked in, completely healed from her injuries.)

"Chimon: Well, it looks like you're back to normal."
"Crystalline: As third ranking of the High-Commission's specialist fighters, his match with me proved he had more than what it takes to fend for himself against any threat."
(She walked towards Sawano and bowed.)
"Crystalline: Please forgive me for underestimating you, Sawano. You are indeed a fierce warrior, worthy of combat."

"Sawano: It's... no big deal.."

(Crystalline would smile then turn her attention to Chimon.)

"Crystalline: As a member of the High-Commission, I will execute an emergency evacuation into their dorms. The school will be closed until the threat is taken care of."
"Chimon: Very well. Golden Clover, Vanguard Wind, you two will be obtaining the objective: Protect Sawano at all costs and avoid them from capturing him."
"Both: Right!"
"Chimon: Nuclear & Electro, I will dispatch several eight to ten star students to assist you two in evacuating the students. And Sawano."

(He looked at Chimon.)

"Chimon: If things turn from bad to worse, you need to escape the academy and hide. The medical staff has stated you cannot handle another fight."
"Sawano: How will I help..? I need to help the school.."
"Chimon: Look, I know you want to help and protect everyone but you're not at one hundred percent yet. You'd risk your life over something like this and we can't lose a student like you."
"Sawano: ....I understand."

(Chimon patted his shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.)

"Chimon: Initiate the operation and get all students eight stars and up set for the battle. Begin the emergency evacuation!"
"Everyone: Got it!"

(As alarms were being sounded off and students began to run to their dorms, the P.A system began repeating the same announcement.

"P.A System: ATTENTION, This is an urgent message from The Elemental High Commission. Until further notice, there will be no active classes and no access in or out of the school. You are all to evacuate into your dorms, immediately! All eight star fighters and up, report to the disciplinary office!"

(Multiple students screamed as they saw fire in the distance and multiple members of the order. Chimon started to look out the window and notice the figures.)

"Chimon: No... GET SAWANO OUT OF HERE! NOW!"

(Vanguard Wind and Golden Clover escorted Sawano out of the academy away from the threats.)

"Chimon: Crystalline, make sure everyone has evacuated the academy. After doing so, drop a powerful crystal field around the school!"
"Crystalline: On it!"

(The general of the clan walked forward as he commanded his soldiers to stop. Chimon walks outside the school with two twelve star fighters on his side and a group of eight star fighters behind them.)

"Chimon: State yourself, who are you?"

"General Scarblood: Who am I? Allow me to introduce myself, I lead this bloodthirsty group known as The Sins Of Horror. I am the fourth-in-command of the empire. My name is General Scarblood and we are here for the boy named Sawano. Hand him over and we shall cease our destructive acts!"

"Chimon: If you think you can take Sawano from us, be my guest. I'd rather die than lose ANY of my students to you or anyone else."
"General Scarblood: Is that so?"

(He'd snap his fingers and his three toughest fighters spread out to find him as the other enemies charged towards the school.)

"Chimon: What are all of you waiting for? An invitation, go kick their asses!"

(They all roared and battled the soldiers as Sawano began to escape the school's property.)

"Vanguard Wind: We're almost there, Sawano, don't worry."
"Sawano: Hope they're alright.."
"Golden Clover: I sense an enemy near us!"

(A shadow begins forming in the sky as it then crashes down in front of them blocking their path.)

"???: Well well well, in a hurry to get out of the fun zone? I don't think you'll be going anywhere for a while."
"Golden Clover: Says who?"
"Ashlynn: I'm glad you asked, my name is Ashlynn. I am the "Queen of the Dead" and we'll be taking Sawano with us."
"Vanguard Wind: You've picked the wrong pack to mess with, we are-"

"Ashlynn: Save me the pity talk, you're Vanguard Wind. Of course you have the ability to control wind at will and you are the Golden Clover, the luckiest of all clovers. You three together will bring me to a negative eleven star position. I might be negative ten stars but I possess one of the most forbidden elements in the world of elemental arts! I have the ability to reanimate the dead anyway I want! AND I'M GOING TO USE THE DEAD TO KILL THE TWO OF YOU!"

"Vanguard Wind: Sawano, stay back. We can't risk you getting involved."
"Ashlynn: Sticking up for the boy? Defeating the two of you would satisfy my boredom a lot!"
"Golden Clover: Ireland Armor: St. Patrick's Gold!"

(He'd begin to transform into his armor as it was made out of complete gold.)

"Vanguard Wind: You read my mind, Clover. Guardians Armor: Heaven's Iron!"

(Vanguard undergoes the same transformation but with his armor protected by little tornados surrounding him.)

"Sawano: Whoa.. not bad.."
"Vanguard Wind: Sawano, you are to stay put and not fight. You're not properly healed yet."

(Ashlynn looks at all three of them with a dead stare.)

"Ashlynn: Did I hear that correctly? In that case.. I may as well take care of you two quickly, then I'll handle him!"
"Golden Clover: Over our dead bodies! Let's go!"
"Vanguard Wind: Right!"

(Both men begin to attack her as she dodges and blocks every attack they throw. Ashlynn quickly moved out of the way and the ground began to crack as the dead were being summoned.)

"Ashlynn: Lets see how you two handle these guys! BRING ME THEIR HEADS!"

(The undead swarm of bodies ran after the both of them, ready to attack. Both men attacked the undead warriors as Sawano sat back and watched and was holding onto his bandaged torso.)

"Golden Clover: These guys are too easy!"
"Vanguard Wind: Let's not get cocky right now, this battle isn't over yet."
"Ashlynn: You two twelve star fighters are SO annoying!"

(She'd begin to spawn another swarm of the undead.)

"Golden Clover: I'll handle this!"

(Golden Clover's chest began glowing brightly.)

"Sawano: What is he doing..?"
"Golden Clover: Have a taste of this!! Golden Petal: BELOVED COMET!"

(His powerful blast began obliterating the swarm of the undead as Ashlynn wasn't surprised. She then began to laugh.)

"Ashlynn: SUCH A WASTE OF POWER! YOU HONESTLY THOUGHT THAT WOULD DEFEAT MY UNDEAD WARRIORS? THIS BRINGS MY TASTE OF VICTORY EVEN CLOSER!"

(She spawned more and they ran towards them again.)

"Vanguard Wind: Let me give it a try!"

(Wind began to build up around Vanguard, slowly creating a powerful hurricane from where he stands. Ashlynn looked at Vanguard as he captured her attention.)

"Vanguard Wind: This special move involves deep thinking and utter rage within my soul. Not even a single monster nor enemy has survived this. Die you pathetic fool!"

(The wind grew stronger as thunder was clapping from the sky.)

"Vanguard Wind: Hurricane Bash!"

(A massive gust of wind is blown towards her and the undead warriors as Sawano, Golden Clover and the rest of the others hang on to something tight and Ashlynn disappears from sight.)

"Vanguard Wind: Wait, where did she-"
"Ashlynn: Right here!"

(She appears behind him and stabs her own sword through his armor, the wind cooling down as Vanguard struggles to escape.)

"Ashlynn: Shhh.. shh shh shh shh.. It's all going to be over, just relax and die slowly.."

(Golden Clover rushes in and tries to sneak attack but she vanishes again then he quickly runs to Vanguard.)

"Golden Clover: VANGUARD!"
"Vanguard Wind: She's... fast.. Stealthy too.."
"Golden Clover: Hang tight man! I'll get you help! Sawano-"

(As he turned around, he noticed Sawano was gone.)

"Vanguard: S-Sawano..?"
"Golden Clover: Oh no.."

(Meanwhile, half of the assault squad was killed and some was minorly/majorly wounded as Chimon continues fighting after suffering multiple hits.)

"Chimon: Guess you guys are underestimated.. You're all strong after all.."
"General Scarblood: Insignificant fool, if you think you stood a chance against us you are known as a joke."
"Chimon: If that's the case, I see no one laughing about it."
"General Scarblood: ...I think it's about time to end this game of pretend. Kill him."

(The elites ran towards Chimon as a massive wall of fire exploded between them.)

"General Scarblood: What?!"

"Chimon: ....?"
(The fire begins to disappear as Sawano emerges from the flames.)

"General Scarblood: Well well well.. Look who has decided to show."
"Chimon: Sawano.. WHAT ARE YOU DOING..?"

(Sawano said nothing and slowly walked towards the general and his elites.)

"Villain: If you think you can come up against a villain like me, YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY BLIND! THIS IS WHERE YOU'LL REST KID!"

(Sawano kicks the villain's head once which then explodes by the force of impact as Sawano continues walking towards the general with his head low. They all gasped with disbelief looks.)

"Demon: WHY THAT LITTLE RUNT.. LETS KILL HIM GUYS!"

(They all yelled and ran towards Sawano as he began dodging and attacking back with very powerful one shot attacks.)

"General Scarblood(Thinking): IMPOSSIBLE.. How is he killing my strongest fighters in an instant...!??!"

(Sawano stopped and ripped off his cloak then Chimon and the general gasped as the right side of his face was completely black same for his veins and his red eyes. Then a pair of wings grew from his back, smoking with black aura.)
"General Scarblood(Aloud): WH-WHA... WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU..!?"

"Sawano: ....."
"Chimon(Thinking): WAIT... black veins, flames more deadlier than fire..? HE CAN'T BE..."(Sawano stared at the general as his remains blinded with hatred and rage. The general would look at Sawano shockingly in fear by feeling his presence.)

"General Scarblood: RAAAH...!! I REFUSE TO BE TERRIFIED OF THIS BRAT! I-"

(As General was close to going towards Sawano, the general was smitten into dust. Sawano kept his expression of anger as he looked up and saw a third in command general walking down. The elites returned to back up the general.)

"Ashlynn: So, that's Sawano guys! Our main target!"
"Juro: He'll be an excellent test subject... LET US CAPTURE HIM NOW!"
"Velriot: Oo.. he's a cutie.. LET ME TAKE HIM!"
"Warden Mesada: Now now, pardon the intrusion. But I'm not like General Scarblood, my name is Warden Mesada. And I am here for you, Sawano. Now come with us peacefully, our empress requests of you."

(Sawano continued to stand there with the black veins bulging loudly as his eyes glowed even brighter.)

"Chimon(Thinking): What am I supposed to do..? Even from laying here, I don't want to be anywhere near him.. yet I'm responsible for him as his principal..."

(The teachers then returned as well as Crystalline as she finished with the strong crystal shield surrounding the entire school's campus.)

"Crystalline: It's all done, all students evacuated and we took care of the other intruders."

(Chimon said nothing but continued to stare in fear at Sawano then the others stared at him as they felt the same reaction as Chimon.)

"Mr. North: W-Who is..-"
"Crystalline: That...?"
"Chimon: Sawano.."

(The teachers gasped, sooner or later the students were watching inside their dorms. Tsuka and the rest of the Disciplinary Committee was looking at Sawano's monstrous transformation.)

"Tsuka: Oh my god... what is even going on..?"

(Akari stood there in absolute fear, shocked at what she's seeing.)
