DEVIL SUMMONER: RAIDOU KUZUNOHA & Kogetsu Kuzunoha Vs The American Invasion. Chapter 1 (HINOKONA) The Vines Across The Meadows My brother always used to tell me that plants were the most harmless thing on this planet, but I always somehow doubted him In that notion. I always thought that these plants, If evolution went differently would devour the human race. Stepping into the nearest forest In my dry oak sandals, as per usual, nothing Is out of the ordinary. There is no such thing as carnivorous plants, they are just something that as of a myth you would hear somewhere in Ikoto. 1963, Showa 40th, Kyoto Prefecture. It Is July 24, I was walking along the Kyoto subway line, unwrapping the western burger in my hand, Its filled with spices and weird fruits I’ve never heard of. Like Apricots and Omango, I asked the vendor when he was preparing it for me. „What are these fruits? I have never seen these before. I said tapping the table in confusion. „Well these...these are from Anatolia, Eastern to be specific.“ He says It with a smile assuring that what he said comforts me. While this thought does tempt me, It does not show any importance to whatever the plan was. I walk up the stairs and see the sun blinding my vision as i ascend the steps further and further. The sunlight clears up and i can see again. A young man comes up to me, looking quite familiar. I see a man wearing a brown and green military uniform, with black hair and blue eyes, a scar that goes from his right chin to his left eyebrow, wearing black leather gloves and black leather boots, in bright white pants of reasonable quality. He is holding a black handheld transceiver with a round speaker and two buttons for two modes with a short antenna. On his back he has a Saya housing a long sword, on the handle of this sword on top of the hineri-maki there is writing that says „Fang of The Dragon.“ in dry kanji. He looks all gleeful and cheery, but i don’t think i have time for such nonsense. „Hey there, Hinokona-kun!, wasn’t expecting to meet you in Kyoto, of all places...“ The young man gleefully says leaning on the rails of the stairs. „Kogetsu, why are you here?“ I ask surrounded by a concrete box of stairs, stretching down spiral-like but more cube-like, very dry and very near nothing but a forest. The wind is cold and blows on my dry skin. I wear leather boots of the red variety, with my blue Yasashiburu High School uniform, the one boys wear, with silver buttons on the chest and and sleeves, they have the same blue pants, I refuse to wear the stupid hat with the Yatagarasu bird etched into a coin-like object sewn into the hat with red and blue lines covering the area of the hat. I have red hair, its very messy, even more messy than Kogetsu’s, my eyes are also red and my skin is orange-like, i am from Indonesia, grew up without a family and got very familiar with the occult at the age of 5. But Kogetsu is different, born on November 7, 1947 he was birthed while his father was fighting Koreans invading after Adolf Hitler gave himself up to the Soviets. Born by Nagi who was in labor while he was fighting the leader of the uprising Hayanpuigittol the current emperor after Syngman Rhee’s assassination on June 2. But enough about that lets just get one thing clear, i do not trust plants. „Now, Hino-kun, i was wondering if you wanted to check this forest out, i mean i called you on the walkie talkie for a reason.“ He holds 3 knives that look like fangs, thinner than paper, with lines across the base, he just juggles them while talking to me. „Why can’t you take anything seriously, Kogetsu!“ I say as i groan slightly at him. „Relax Hinokona Sukona, i am likely just passing time until Mizu gets her decrepit car over here.“ Kogetsu says this while still flicking his stupid knives. „Where did you get these knives anyways? if you ask me they don’t really look much like knives to me, more like you ripped someone’s collar bone out and dipped it in chrome.“ I say jokingly leaning against the rail. „Haha, that is exactly what they are, you wanna see?“ He says as he unbuttons his military shirt to reveal 3 collarbones are kind of missing, his neck feels rusted out but he doesn’t mind. I look slightly disgusted at him and look at his missing collarbones. I breathe out and the wind blows through my lungs to say the phrase, that if a thousand soldiers heard, they would be defeated instantly. „Pathetic.“ I exclaim and he just rolls his eyes, no surprise here. „Now you can say what you want-“ He holds one of the knives against my throat. „But it doesn’t make them any less deadly.“ He says with a cold stare. I don’t even flinch, i know he wouldn’t even touch my jugular vein, because if he did i would break 72 of his bones instantly. My brother died last year, never knew his name but i always saw him in a dark area, he never left it, he was like a vampire. He never showed his face, or voice, he distorted it with the help of demons. Well he is gone now, so no need to dwell on that. „Now listen, i was thinking of going to see the baseball game in Kamukia, you wanna go there with me tomorrow?“ Kogetsu asks putting the knives back into his collar, they get absorbed into the skin and his collarbones have regrown. „Well, probably if i have time, but which team are playing anyways?“ I ask sitting on the rails twisting around it and hanging with my arms on the rails playing a dangerous game. „Well...that’s great, see you tomorrow. Today is Wednesday, my father sent us here to investigate the odd greenhouse in Jamuyaya forest near the outer train station, i don’t know why he did this, but it makes it easier for me to not get bored.“ Kogetsu says while playing with his sword. A new red car drives by us with rims of shining silver and wheels with a white pattern on it. „Oh its Mizu on her Astro 7, did you know that the Astro 7 actually has a compulsive engine instead of a piston one?“ Kogetsu just keeps talking about absolutely nothing. The car door opens and out steps a woman with bright green eyes and pale skin, blonde hair with a red hairband and soft lips, wearing brown shorts with a gun holster belt and suspenders and a yellow plated sweater and brown gloves, with long socks of black and leather boots of dark and a red bow on her neck. In her left holster she has a simple Smith & Wesson Model 10, Kuda tubes in a tiny sack next to the gun holster, her left arm has a bumpy look hiding a retractable ruler with a string made of spider silk, her right sleeve has a lesser bump hiding an armband with Kuda tubes. Her bright pale thighs are out and soft as ever. Her belt has the Kuzunoha Onmyodo symbol on it etched in gold. „Now boys, are you guys ready to enter the forest?“ She says motivated and encouraged. „Well, yes Mizu, no time to lose, right?“ Kogetsu says trying his awkward flirt at Mizu. „Yeah, sure let’s go!“ She starts running infront of us and we enter the forest. In the forest it is very quiet compared to the highway outside, the greenery is calming yet ominous. There are zero animals or the sounds of them in this forest. We don’t really need to discuss anything at the moment. The greenhouse is very near and it is filled to the brim with vines and ivy’s. „Wait where did the trees go, why is this a grassland where a single greenhouse stands?“ Mizu says confused as i realize the forest ends here and spans grassland until another forest, what the hell is going on?! „This must be the work of a demon, alright its time!“ Kogetsu talks in his walkie talkie and puts his gloved fingers into his mouth and whistles, out comes a massive wind and a demon is summoned. „RAAAAH, I AM RAIJUU!! FEEL MY SHOCK!!“ Raiju a yellow dog like demon missing a lower body and floating like a cracked wall. „Raiju, use your investigation ability!“ Kogetsu says ordering the demon, i am no summoner but the Yatagarasu wanted me because of my ability that is unique to me, but lets focus on Kogetsu for now. „RAAAH! I SHALL DO THAT, GRAAAAH!“ Raiju trickles around and roars and a huge shockwave encompasses us and Mizu loses balance and i guard with my elbow and the sand almost gets into my eye. Suddenly a tiny shooting star is found in the greenhouse, that must be what Raijuu revealed. „Raijuu!, return.“ Kogetsu says whistling once more and putting the demon back into his walkie talkie. We look around the blue dilapidated greenhouse and see nothing but ivy’s and vines scattered everywhere but something else is here, a table and lab equipment, must be a botanist research lab. It isn’t certain what this place is, but it has no demons. Kogetsu picks up the shooting star and sees human blood near one of the vine clusters. „Interesting... this is something dad should take a look at...“ Kogetsu scratches his chin like a formulate detective. We leave the greenhouse with the blood sample and i stay behind as they drive back to the capital. Chapter 2 (KOGETSU) The Killer Of The Roots And...just like that, he’s gone, aw man, i thought it was pretty fun picking on him, too bad he doesn’t want to come to the detective agency. Mizu fierce fully starts the car and drives like an actual maniac around the capital and cartoonishly brakes almost crashing into a baby carrier. „Mizu, what did i tell you about being reckless, idiot...“ I say with full confidence because i am the most self confident person on this planet. We step out of the wreck and enter Yarai-ku’s Tsukudo-cho district. I grab Mizu’s gloved hands and take her into the agency, silly troth. „Ah, Kogetsu, if it isn’t you...so did you solve the case about the missing Buddhist monks in Jamuyaya?“ A gentle man with Grey hair, who looks about 64, with weary clean hair wearing an old outfit that degraded in colour, with a black and grey tie and darker decayed brown suit, in very old shoes with a mix of beige and brown asks me. „Yeah nothing special, just some demonic stuff that has to do with a greenhouse in the middle of a meadow, normal stuff, now where is father?“ I ask throwing grapes into my mouth. „He is at the shrine talking to the herald, i suggest we don’t bother him, or you might just lose your ear, chappie.“ He says very cheerfully for some reason, even if it was about my ear being cut off, what a goofball. „Well, where is mom, i need to talk to her about the baseball game.“ I say very profusely and apprehended in my own words. „She is sitting next to you blowfish...“ He nags and sips his coffee like an old person would. „Kogetsu, you should probably have more respect for your supervisor, then whatever behavior you are showing in this moment.“ My mother, a 47 year old women, with black floof-like curly hair and blue eyes and slightly Russian skin, wearing a flowery green and beige dress from head to toe, her legs have straps on them that go all the way up to the calf and are strapped, her sheathe and sword are under the dress, her other holster in her belt holds more Kuda tubes, she normally wears this outfit pretty often, she got tired of her old outfit, thought it looked too 1930s. „Now Kogetsu, should i tell you about the 4th Kuzunoha clan?“ Out of the blue she just says this, and i am supposed to remain calm?! „Mom, w-what did you just say?“ I ask perplexed. „Well, listen to Nagi for a second i have something to tell you, long ago in the age of 1754 the Hata clan was fragmented and didn’t have a union of clans like we have today, they created many extinct Kuzunoha clans before that but only 5 clans remain and the 5th one is not well known, known as the Hovhanasian clan, in 1764 the first Hovhanasian was ordained but before that the Geirin clan were the first Kuzunoha clan to be created by the Hata clan. In 1570 the very first Geirin was ordained, not in Japan but inside the Ottoman empire by the Hata clan, after the Geirin clan spread across Europe and ended up back in Japan the first branch was created, in 1691 the Geirin’s split up in Japan to become the Raidou clan which Gouto witnessed, after them came the fist clan to be fully European, the Sons of Saint Nicholas of Myra, these were direct descendants of the family of the Saint in christian tradition, they say the saint never had children but his family did. And as of now there are 2 branches of the main clans, Known as the Kyouji’s ordained in 1931, and The Ishmaeli, these two are quite new so not much is known about them, but honey, do you know why i am telling you this?“ She asks as she just dropped a bomb of information on me. „I was born on March 7 Sunday in the Sani’n Region and on the Vladivostok Ferry in 1916 after my family fled Japan after the Russo Japanese war, my mother was Japanese but my father was Russian and a member of the Nikovich clan, i am Half Geirin and Half Nikovich, and i want you to meet your cousin, the direct descendant of my father’s brother’s son.“ She says like its nothing. „What...i am half Russian because of you...“ The world crumbles around me, how can i be a filthy soviet. „Listen, after i was taken into the Tsukigata village after my mom died from the Japanese soldiers, i was raised to become a Geirin, so now relax he has arrived.“ She says as if i’m not about to shit my pants. The door opens and out steps a boy with heterochromia blue eye on the right and red on the left. and very Slavic skin, 2 years older than me, with brown hair. He has black gloves and a school uniform for Yasashiburu, he customized it to have a golden cross in the center he has brown winter boots and the same school uniform pants, he wears a cross necklace and a belt with holy water and a pouch with what looks like balls but are actually bombs in the appearance of an incense burner that he uses to summon angels. He holds a Serbian Bible in his hands with mixed Japanese text on the side and serbian on the other side, kinda like the Quran. „Greetings and God bless, my name is Ginkomi Atsutani Kuzunoha Nikovich, but you can call me Ginkomi.“ He says gently as he crosses himself for some reason, i mean i don’t believe in any of that religious crap, but i follow my buddhist sutra’s pretty well and practice my meditation pretty often, whatever. „My cousin, how is everything going, i heard you getting along with Utsvaji Hovhanasian from Armenia up in the Monastery at mount Fuji?“ Mom asks something i have no clue about. „Yes, the eight Hovhanasian, prays alot for a miaphysite but he is mighty respectful and doesn’t warp scripture, unlike Albakuri or Ishmael The Second, he just warps Isaiah all the time and says it has mecca in it, what a load of nonsense.“ He says not angry but perturbed, this guy is odd, like i’m not even kidding. „Kogetsu, can you look at the guy and not make that stupid face you idiot.“ Mizu scolds me looking in the corner, i just wave awkwardly. „Ugh, let me talk to him, he might know more about my father...“ She is interrupted immediately like a woman should, HAHA. „Kyouji Kuzunoha the First, yeah he is missing and hiding somewhere...you must be his daughter...Kyouji Kuzunoha the Second or Mizu Hatano Kuzunoha., i know your mother died right after you were born, but what matters is not that, condolences anyways, what matters is that you have potential to be a great Kuzunoha.“ Ginkomi starts making her blush and with my immediate jealousy i jump at him. „Aw...don’t say-KOGETSU, CUT IT OUT!“ She interrupts herself by yelling at me. My fang is literally being blocked by his hand bleeding, how the actual fuck. „Oh, you cannot cut that what is protected by God, try again and your sword might just break, now don’t worry i am a chaste man, i am not going to steal your pagan girlfriend, you can have her.“ He says very non-chalantly and the way he says it makes me angry. „G-g-g-GIRLFRIEND?!“ Mizu starts blushing bright red and pulls the whip out of her boots and slashes at me in anger. „YOU IDIOT, WHY WOULD YOU EVEN MAKE HIM THINK THAT!“ She slashes and fang blocks them all. „Oh shut up, i know you are not my girlfriend, lets just report back to Raidou and go back with Hinokona to the greenhouse...“ I am beyond pissed off. „I will join as well, as the lord wills it, i will not be bothering any of you, but listen closely i don’t always act like this, only infront of auntie, because uhh if she saw me sinning she would tie me up and hang me upside down like a hanged man...hehe...“ He is sincere and he whispers this into my ear without even flinching. I nod and Mizu, him and i leave the agency. „Gooodbye, honey, be careful out there, don’t get hurt, also Ginkomi, make sure to behave around the buddhist monks...or else...“ He gulps out of fear of her. We leave the agency and head for the Shinoda shrine. We step into Mizu’s car she fixed with her gremlin demon, blue aviator hat, bright yellow teeth, red eyes, yellow skin and white belly, black military boots with blue in them, and elf ears and a small body, holding wrenches and a belt with other tools. „Yahaha, you guys really bumped up this baby...who did it?“ The Gremlin asks. „It was the woman.“ I reply and Mizu’s elbow flings into my stomach and i groan. „Hehe, that explains it.“ Mizu picks up the Gremlin after saying that and starts to strangle him in anger. „I am your summoner, you will treat me equally you creep.“ She throws him into the ground and he whimpers. „Y-y-y-yes malady...“ He says nervously running back into the tube. „Haha, not even the demons like y-“ I get another elbow into my stomach and almost vomit, fucking bitch. „Nice car you have, Mizu, i say my dad he drives a ferrari, i mean hes also a serbian oligarch, and i don’t think thats a good thing, hes also fully socialist, poor guy, by the way i am the 8th heir to the Nikovich. But enough of that, let’s just do our mission.“ We sit in the car and drive away to the Shinoda shrine and it is so boring to look at, i mean honestly couldn’t the have put anything nice to look at here, ugh Buddhists. Chapter 3 (GINKOMI) The Killer Of The Roots: Part 2 I simply cannot understate how important it is to be respectful to others, but i may say this but not do this, i may be sinner but i am no saint. This car, it emphasizes my curiosity with mechanics, since God’s creation was good, as Genesis foretold, that would mean that cars are good, right? Anyways, we arrive at the idolatrous shrine and talk to Raidou the 14th. He is wearing the same outfit as before, hasn’t aged a day, since he is such a great summoner. He is technically 48 but looks 26. Good on him, the lord truly has mercy on these idolaters. „Kogetsu, be quiet, the souls can hear every sound you make, now come.“ Raidou says urging us to come closer. We comes as close as we can and arrive at the Nameless Shrine. „Now listen, did you find anything new about the greenhouse?“ Raidou asks standing quite still, i admire him in a way. „Not really, i found this blood sample though...“ Kogetsu hands his father the tube filled with blood. „Hmm...I am no scientist but i might know what to do next, ring the bell Kogetsu, we are going to Dark Kyoto.“ Raidou says facing forward and we can only see his back. I heard Raidou Kuzunoha XIV was born in 1916 February 3rd, Thursday, Karafuto Hospital, Sakhalin, Toyohara, my Father also told me his real name is Jouhei Shinaya, my father knew him very well and met him in the Caucasus a couple years ago. My father is the 7th Nikovich and his name is Vladislav Nikovich, he is still alive for now and i meet him often at the Monastery on mount fuji, i was born 1946, June 3rd on a Monday. Also Nagi’s mother being the 66th generation of Nicholas Of Myra born in since 270 AD. I am part of the 65th generation due to my father being older. Kogetsu was born 1948, November 7 Wednesday, Shinjuku Allied Clinic, Shinjuku, Capital. And Mizu born in 1947, March 7 on a friday, In Hokkaido, Sapporo. Hinokona Sukona was born 1947, July 7, Monday, Indonesia, Jakarta. You may probably be wondering how i know these things, well i study very often and most profusely, when i meet someone i have known for a year i need to know everything about them, i scour documents and pray for information. I was born in Seoul, South Korea, but my mother birthed me in a church and blessed me after my birth. I moved to Japan after Hiroshima was bombed a second time by China after Showa showed no retaliation against taking Hong Kong from the british. Now you may not hear me on paper or audit, but my prayers will reach every orthodox christian who has any interest in the Kuzunoha, how do i know all of this, i already told you, i am a scholar of truth and grace. Kogetsu rings the bell and the herald appears, no one else here knows her real identity but me, her codename is Sakura but she is actually a french mixed japanese woman known as Madame Ginko Fretu’sdie Kuzunoha (Geirin not Heir just related.) „Is something amiss, Raidou Kuzunoha The 14th?“ A woman with very black lips and dark hooded veiled clothing in a kimono appears out of nowhere, but i know she uses the Hata-nokata tunnel, which was proposed by the Japanese scientist Yumiko Narusawa, who discovered a wormhole inside the atoms of oxygen, she was sadly killed by Japanese Soviets, when the Soviet Japanese revolution started in 1935 and ended in 1955, someone known as Ivan Royta Konosuke Kazoku Ivanovich, led a revolution that 14th failed to stop and it ended up letting the Russian Bolsheviks into Japan and making it a state of the soviet union. This tunnel might be connected to the weird Meadows we saw earlier. „You wish to perform the Ritual?“ She asks getting into position as both of us stand still and kneel. We are transported into a dark version of Kyoto, demons running a muck and guarding the place. It looks identical and a Dragon’s Jaw is blocking both roads and the only road is the subway and the forest. „Now, we should stick together and get ourselves to that greenhouse.“ Raidou says confidently, very admirable. „Now, children, all the demons and angels you have now have been gifted to you, Kogetsu you failed the test at the Kuzunoha village but i will let you redeem yourself and become a true Raidou Kuzunoha the 15th, now lets go, go recruit demons and if you see a Dragon’s Cave, touch it and record your progress, so if you fall, it will save you from death and bring you back to where you were.“ We start following Raidou over the street and into the forest. We see the meadows again, but its now full of demons. Suddenly my Incense Grenades start to lose light and i realize my angels are gone and i brace myself, Kogetsu’s walkie talkie goes empty for magnetite and the demons leave, Mizu’s kuda tubes die out. „Oh my, you made it, now listen we need to find that demon and stop it, its name is Nokomis, a native american deity connected to Manitou, now let us hurry and destroy it.“ Hinokona in a completely new outfit appears, wait a second, that symbol, it’s in Georgian, it can’t be, he’s Hovhanasian the Ninth, so he has never shown his face and pretended to be a monk. He is wearing Red leather spandex with a belt full of paint tools, to summon demons from hell, he has dark red gloves and a red leather cape, his boots are also red and his mask is red and a symbol of the Indonesian deity Dewi Sri, he says he is Muslim but he looks more like a Hindu to me, his eyes are flaming red like actually they are on fire, the last thing he has is a single knife that is called the Kadga Bertapa. it is a knife with Dewi Sri etched into the handle and a spike like almost grilled patter under with the middle looking like two cashews next to each other and a small thing ring under the deity and above the spike. „wait...you are Hinokona Hovhanasian the Ninth, i never knew.“ I whisper slightly. „Yes, Ginkomi, i was fooling you, i don’t pray to your God, i pray to Brahma and Dewi Sri and even Shiva if i want someone’s blood boiled.“ He says with Chaotic will. We enter the greenhouse and an old woman covered in vines and ivy’s suddenly attacks us. „Oh manitou, please spare these crickets their meal, YAHAHAHAH!“ The old woman says throwing her tendril at us and slashing Mizu’s chest and she gets flung into glass. I rush into motion and try to save her and heal her. „Oh heavenly father, have mercy on Mizu, even thought she worships idols, it doesn’t mean she should die.“ I go into defensive and keep healing her with my holy hand. Kogetsu, Hinokona and Raidou are actively fighting the thing, Kogetsu is throwing knives he took from his ear bones and cutting the vines with his fangs while doing weird poses. Raidou is shooting and actively cutting the demon and burning it with Orthrus. Gouto is a cricket on Raidou’s soldier, weirdly, he died during the Caucasus mission, and he came back with the curse of a Gouto-Douji. Hinokona just says prayed in Bahasa while he has Shiva summoned on his side and stabs the beast and all its tendrils explode from the light from the knife. „AHHH, ACK YOU FOOLS DARE TO TEST MANITOU’S STRENGTH, THESE ARE MY TENDRILS AND HIS TENDRILS, GRAAAH---“ The woman explodes into plant blood and the tendrils disappear, for now. We stand there covered in plant blood, while i am healing Mizu’s chest and covering it with some cloth in my pocket. „Thank you, Ginkomi, now could you help me up?“ She says in extreme pain, i decide to put her on my back and take her out of the greenhouse. We find a crack and jump through it and end up back in Kyoto. We drive back to the agency and Raidou rides alongside us in the car. We open the door and enter. Chapter 4 (MIZU) The Greater Kadokura I’ve always wondered why christian men fascinate me so much, i don’t know what it is, but they just act way more gentle than any Buddhist or Muslim. I always thought that if i was stronger, i wouldn’t have to rely on men, i am 19 why would i be acting like a child and having everything answered for me. I sit down and contemplate this thought sitting next to Nagi, i think i prefer Ginkomi over Kogetsu, but i just can’t date Ginkomi, since he wants to be chaste. Also this Hinokona dude gives me the creeps. He is still wearing that outfit, he didn’t change into his school outfit at all. What a piece of work, red eyes and everything, I’ve never seen someone so obviously evil in my life. „Ack...“ I say outloud and Ginkomi comes to support my broken elbow. „Mizu, are you okay?“ My heart warms up and i almost blush. I kinda wanna see him without a shirt on...hey focus Mizu...we are doing something important so get your head out of the gutter. „Hello? Mizu, are you there dear?“ Oh my god...I’m fainting. „MIZU!“ he grabs me and holds me like some french dance. Kogetsu looks at us and just looks angrier and Ginkomi puts me back and puts his arms behind himself and just smiles with sweat coming off his skin. „What do you think you are doing?, you break your promise of chastity?!“ Kogetsu is not happy and he gives a blow into Ginkomi’s face and his nose starts bleeding. „Ah...!“ He holds his face but he stands upright again and turns the other cheek. „Do it again, pagan!“ This pisses Kogetsu off so much he sends Ginkomi flying into the window but Raidou catches him. „WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING KOGETSU!?“ Nagi asks angry. Raidou grabs Kogetsu by the throat and throws him 2 stories high. „Cut this nonsense out Kogetsu, or else i will let you suffer in the lava again.“ Kogetsu is holding onto the ledge but Raidou grabs his fingers one by one and deactivates his grip. „N-N...NO-st-AHHHH!“ Kogetsu starts falling and he hurts himself. „Mr Raidou, should i heal him so he doesn’t try to kill himself by trying to reconstruct his bones?“ Ginkomi asks very politely. „Go ahead, but this should teach him a lesson.“ He says with a cold stare. Ginkomi jumps out the window and leaps toward Kogetsu, i try doing the same and swing around by rolling my right sleeve up and activating my spider string and attaching it around buildings and stuff. „Kogetsu, are you alright?“ I ask as Ginkomi keeps his prayers going, suddenly i feel something grabbing my waste. „Mizu, my dear daughter, has this slimy Kogetsu been hurting you?“ Its dad.... he is here for some reason and the same age as Raidou, his real Name is Kyousuke Inaba and he is 48 and born 1915, July 5, Monday. In Kichijoji, Capital My mothers name was Amamizu Hatano of the Hata clan, my father decided to go to a brothel in Hokkaido, and ended up making her pregnant. „DD-D-D-DAD?!?!“ I say very surprised, why is he here. „Mizu, listen, i will be going on a mission to Vietnam, i am joining the war and fighting against communism, hell yeah america for life.“ He is acting weird but suddenly a helicopter comes and picks him up. He is wearing his white robe with black fire, and beige sandals, with his underside being in bandages and Kuda tubes are stored there and they explode, all across his body he is covered in bandages and Kuda tubes, he has a gun holster and a massive Kuda tube stored in the wooden storage unit he has on his back, he has black hair and blue eyes. In his holster is a long tubed revolver. He disappears into the Helicopter and leaves me for Vietnam. „Goodbye dad, love you!“ I say slightly crying. „I love you too sweetheart.“ He says as he is too far away now. I pick up Kogetsu’s body and put him on my shoulder, i take him back to the agency. „Kogetsu, are you okay?“ I ask him actually worried. „Well, yes, my dad always does this, i have learned to reattach my body because of this scar i got. He starts telling the story. When Kogetsu was 5 years old he was playing in the sandbox and minding his own business, Nagi was drinking juice and Raidou was fighting the Socialists, suddenly a Lahmia came from the sandbox and scratched his face, it escaped from the dark realm, he began bleeding so much and Nagi was horrified, she took him to the Nameless shrine and purified the wound, but the problem was the scar was full fo Lahmia’s spit, it took a couple years to heal but at the age of 6 his arm began convulsing and once he saw it it showed different symbols that lighted, when he twisted it left it became a pentagram, when he twisted it right it became a crucifix, all covered in blood, when he twisted in the middle it became a symbol of the sun. They were glowing Red, Blue, and Green. Suddenly he could use elemental attack and everytime he takes a bone out of his body he activates his scar and uses the Crucifix scar and it turns his bones into weapons, he hasn’t learned much after that, thats the extent of his abilities, i heard the herald say that 2 more can be unlocked if he follows the ideal of that symbol, but he will lose his other abilities, the chaotic ability would be Gaea Rage, a chaotic ability that puts immense pressure on the user an for the Sun, it would be the ability that makes him able to turn into a fox, turning into a literal Kuzunoha, but that puts also immense pressure, so he mainly uses Bio Reform for weapons, he can make all kinds of weapons from it, actually the fang came from a broken Katana belonging to Susano-o and he replaced it with his tailbone, he can make any weapon that has biological molecules, guns he cant make, because they are not naturally carbon like swords with minerals. Well that is certainly interesting, but why should i know this? „Kogetsu, you seem to be doing fine as i see it.“ I say and i just work it off from there. Chapter 5 (HINOKONA The Greater Kadokura Part 2 I see these children and just laugh at them, i mean honestly why would i associate with someone who is perfectly fine with being thrown out of windows. „We need to g-“ Suddenly a very loud and prudent woman enters the agency. „55 years old and the feminism is still going, lets see, Narumi could you check the paper?“ A woman with black hair and green eyes, with pale skin, wearing what seems to be a journalist outfit with a camera hanging around her neck and holding a pen and a notepad with a white shirt with a belt on it, a black purse and beige skirt and buttoned shirt wearing white high heels with a black end. „Now i heard a scoop, there is this guy called Kadokura, 18 years old and starting a computer corp known as Algon Digital Compution, they say this guy had a kid last year and he is extremely successful, although his name might only be his family name.“ The middle aged woman says cracking her back. „We might need to interview this guy, that name Algon, it sounds native American to me, so this guy must have something to do with the random greenhouse cases where humans have been killed, i knew i couldn’t trust those pesky plants.“ i say very perplexed. „Well, then we should go, meet me at Yoyogi airport.“ I say as i leave the agency and see the President of Algon walking out of the plane, while the Beatles play through the speakers. „Now everyone, i have an announcement, our newest computer control system will be able to calculate the distance from Hokkaido to Antarctica in just a few minutes.“ He says waving the rising sun imperial flag as he exits the airplane, suddenly he is shot. „Oh my goodness.“ The crowd says as he collapses with a hole in his head, i grab Kogetsu’s hand and we break the window and head for the roof by swinging up to it. „Who are you!, why would you sabotage our mission.“ I say angrily looking at a man that looks familiar, maybe my cousin Hovhanasian the 8th knows him. „....HAHAHA MUAHAHAHA, you fools, you really think i’d let you destroy my master plan, MUKAKAKA!“ He rips off his cape and reveals a huge rock demon. „I am Odziozo, god of the mountains, and Gyarukan Kadokura shall not disturb Manitou. RAAAAAAAH!“ The demon roars as it stomps the roof. „Mizu, get everyone out of the airport, we have a demon to deal with, it is the size of a building.“ He says in his walkie talkie. „Kogetsu, are you ready to rip this boulder to shreds?“ I ask ready to punch the giant so hard he explodes. Kogetsu gets out his fang and tries to smash the giant but his cuts don’t do anything, he throws his collarbone knives and they dont do anything, they explode and he regains his collarbones. I get out my knife and stab the giant and he crumbles immediately. „Well, i guess the power of Adir Zha is truly strong, wait did i say his name right?“ I ask myself, but we defeated the demon, but we didn’t get any information on it. We hurry back to the detective agency and sit down again. Chapter 6 (KOGETSU) MALSUMIS What the hell was that thing, honestly if i saw that i wouldn’t be scared i would be terrified, Odziozo... „Narumi, give me your Native American encyclopedia i need to borrow it for a second.“ I say acting very tough and kitschy. „Here you go, Kogetsu.“ Narumi hands me the book and yeah this demon is just a pebble, like literally ha-ha funny. Anyways i think i need to find more about these stupid American deities. „Kogetsu, listen, i think this is bigger than we realize, i think i know a guy who used to work for them though.“ Ginkomi says as he jumps out the window. „Oh for blue’s sake, i just bought that window.“ Narumi says annoyed. I follow Ginkomi and chase him until we arrive at The Konnou-ya, it looks a little different from when dad used to have it. It has very new age and fortune teller like vibes and the owner is dead, the only one left here is Victor. „Ah welcome, to the Konnou-ya department store, Hee-hee how can i help?“ Victor greets us with a smile and welcomes us in. I explain the situation to him and Ginkomi asks about someone. „OOh yeah, Rasputin would know alot about them, since he is in this group known as Phantom.“ Victor says handing us a pin with a p and a weird 8 known as PHANTOM SOCIETY, seemingly he got this from Rasputin himself. We go to Ginza and see Rasputin flirting with Tae again during a feminist demonstration, Raidou is standing ontop of the roof watching over us. We beat up Rasputin and talk to him. „Oh, Phantom Society, really? yes...so these native american demons are invading, well i am from 20XX and i know you might succeed defeating this evil, its not Manitou, for he will be awakened in 1997, on the soil of Kyoto, turned Amami City...now listen well...this evil...it could be something old...it could be a russian guy...thats all i know...“ Rasputin spills the beans and keeps flirting with Tae, but Raidou knocks him out with a bottle. We report back to Victor and talk to him. „Ah i see, it is great to see such incredible work from you two“ i give Hinokona a high five and he smiles, i feel like i might be bonding with him. We report back to the agency and tell him what happened, but suddenly an explosion outside, its the last big demon for now. He jumps into the agency and now everyone is on-guard. „You, disturb Manitou, i send giant spores in air, DIE!“ A demon with Tendrils of blood and yellow almost alien body attacks us. „I am Malsumis and i will not tolerate you trying to put Manitou back to sleep, DIE!“ He tries grabbing Tae but my fang cuts through his veiny tendrils. „Well, if you would let us pass, we might just prevent the apocalypse.“ I say as he explodes in my face and spores fly everywhere. CHAPTER 7 (MIZU) THE SINKHOLE I feel like i am about to vomit, my soul feels like its being tugged at like string, ugh, i might just pass out. I cough and cough, the spores are all over the capital, Raidou swings his sword and wind flurries everywhere. Ginkomi grabs a ball in his pouch and throws it, Metatron appears and suddenly the spores in the agency are gone and the window is fixed, Narumi is knocked out, Tae and Nagi are also knocked out but slightly awake. Ginkomi gives us Soviet gas masks and we head for the roof and look at the ground. Suddenly the whole ground shakes and all of the ground turns into a sinkhole, a giant eye and vine tendrils shoot out and try to grab us, i scream and load my gun with a demon i don’t need and shoot at it and it explodes, i try using my whip and string, but its doesn’t work. Suddenly i am dragged down to the depths and i scream and scream. Until everything goes dark... „Mizu Hatano, you are not evil, the animals love you, why can’t you join me, Manitou in ending modern advances.“ A voice says. „Who are you, are you Manitou?“ I ask feeling like my clothes are being touched. „Yes i am Manitou, i will free you from your evil prison, if you just accept my offer…“ He says as he opens his eye and it is massive, i am lying in tendrils and near the earth’s core, my clothes are falling apart due to the heat. „Let me go, not so close to that thing, you might kill me accidentally.“ I say but he puts me down and all my clothes turn into leaves, i am naked trying to cover myself infront of this giant eye. „Listen, the clothes are not natural, they hurt the nature. The heart of the nature is my heart, please take them off and lay with me and talk.“ He says that but i feel very uncomfortable. I accept it and he says „I will give you three questions-“ Suddenly Kogetsu jumps in and Manitou doesn’t mind him. „Manitou, give me back my friend and clothe her!“ He says angrily. Ginkomi jumps in too and he says „Leave her alone, clothe her, clothe her like my God clothed Adam and Eve, you are no God, you are a demon.“ His eyes are full of thunder and blue as water. Hinokona appears behind Manitou, serving him. „Oh i might not say that, because in these three doors are the greatest beings in this universe, 2 more doors if you wanna go alone, the first door leads to the Trinity, where you will battle the creator of this awful system, remove him and freedom will be attained. The second door is home to Lucifer, you defeat him you stay in the system and will never be free. The third door is Buddha himself, you defeat him you will never attain anything of value, the 1st extra door, is a battle against a version of yourself that is opposite of you and evil, the 2nd door is the opposite of you but i would call him good, because he also wants to get rid off this awful system, i don’t care if i am Hovhanasian,i will never bow down to your God.“ Hinokona is serious. Suddenly a man holding the throat of Raidou says „I am Royta, i was not killed but i was defeated, go through the first bonus door and rid yourself of influence to your pesky father MUAHAHAHA.“ „Kogetsu, don’t do it, go through the door that leads you to destroying your evil self.“ My dad says barely being able to breathe, Narumi, Tae and Nagi are tied up and are food to Manitou. „What will you do Kogetsu, you have a choice, the capital depends on it.“ Manitou says as he gives him his final word. The Light Chaos Door (Royta's alignment and Raidou’s rejectance.): „You choose, my door? you know, i tried to kill your father, back in 1932 and he still couldn’t defeat me, he threw me out of the office of control and i lost the Japanese socialist government. But i applaud you for abandoning your father, you truly do have Russian blood in you.“ „KOGETSU, NO, DON’T DO THIS, YOU WILL ONLY HURT YOURSELF AND WILL BE WITHOUT A REASON FOR PIECE, STOP!“ Father cries out to me but it doesn’t matter, i made my choice. My arm radiates the Pentagram and my eyes and scar are red, my hair is black and i am radiating. I enter the door and everything goes silent. „You wanted to defeat Manitou’s ways of ruling, but wanna embrace the chaos of Lucifer, you know you haven’'t even spoken to Lucifer, but i understand, you may think i am a mirrored version of you, but me and Raidou are great friends actually.“ Suddenly my reflection turns into waterful drops of water, its skin is made of water and his skin covered in natural water tattoos and long blue hair, with a bare upper body and a half kimono wearing sandals. His eyes blue and himself pure of energy. „Before you can fight me, you must kill your father.“ Suddenly dad appears behind me and throws me into a wall. „You chose wrong, following the Yatagarasu is the true way to live, you reject Manitou and the Trinity, i shall teach you a lesson, a lesson in why you should have never been born!“ He grabs his Muramasa and slashes my skin immensely and i just block with my fang, i finally get to use my Gaea rage and my father turns to dust. I shed a single tear, but i know this is the right path. „..You did not hesitate, i am the Waterful Nahobino, the blasphemous Susano-o with the fusion of a human and deity, i shall show you what i am made of.“ His arm turns into a blade of light and he starts fighting me in a pond with black rocks and lily pads. My fang eventually cuts through his light as another Gaea rage blows him up. „Piece of cake, now i must enter this final door and change this awfulness.“ I step in and Manitou lies infront i use Gaea rage and he turns to dust as well. I walk towards the light and my future has been changed. 1964. JUNE 7 The Light Chaos Ending: Mizu has become my enemy, Ginkomi actively hates me and is after me, tokyo is a wasteland, chaos runs rampant and i stay on the roof watching. The Light Law Door ( Raidou’s Alignment and Royta’s rejection.) „Oh you Impudent FOOL! you dare think of a way to end chaos itself, foolish ness I’LL KILL YOU NOW!“ Royta says, Hinokona just stands there and jumps in to help Royta. I use my fang and healing abilities and create longinus, i pierce both Royta and Hinokona. „It cant be,--ugrg--“ They both collapse, Mizu comes with me and we enter. „Oh how impudent, HA-HA-HA you think Lucifer is just going to allow you to prosper, no he won’t.“ A teenage boy with brown hair and blue eyes with tattoos and a spike on his back wearing jeans and Jordans says „You shall not pass here, i will use you like butter, i am the Demifiend!“ He starts the battle and doesn’t even bother to summon demons. „In this sinkhole, the magical wormhole that manitou created was actually the Amala Universe, you fools would never get that, and Raidou, why would you go against me, you kicked my ass all the time, SO PLEASE DIE!“ He lunges at us but i use longinus on him and he is split in half. „How---“ his body collapses. The 4 of us enter the light and emerge victorious. The Light Law Ending: The world is a garden now, Manitou lives and coexists with Buddha and The trinity as they share the throne. I sit on the balcony as i see the earth is finally clean, no chaos or dust here, everything is clean. The Neutral Door (Mizu’s Alignment and Ginkomi and Hinokona’s rejection.) „You want to end the cycle of reincarnation?“ Mizu asks naked as she gets into my arms and i carry her to the door, Hinokona goes first and Ginkomi with respect goes in as well. We enter and it is a battle arena. „You knew you should’ve just dismantled the system, its easy...but you didn’t do that, you became a coward and listened to your boner and decided to choose to end reincarnation for Gods and Demons so they cant manifest anymore. You aren’t going to go up against the trinity because it also agrees with you, only Buddha disagrees, although he is neutral he is not one to be scared of choice, NOW DIE!“ He grabs his knife and tries stabbing me and Raidou with it, Raidou is only here because he basically supports this but actually wants to end all chaos, but he thinks this is good enough. I slash him with my fang and he dies. „N-no---noAHHH!-“ Hinokona dies. „You were truly never going to embrace destroying the lord of chaos, you wanted to temporarily, stop me? i am Gautama, i coexist with the trinity but it foes not want me to sit on its throne.“ That’s all he says and he tries crushing me but i turn into a literal kuzunoha fox and bite his neck. „I have been defeated, i shall bleed and end reincarnation.“ He withers away and we can walk into the door. Neutral Ending: I lay with Mizu in bed and look at the birds and city as i see no demons or chaos only people fully nude and expressing their neutrality, there is no discrimination just balanced freedom. Chaos Door (Hinokona’s Alignment and Mizu and Ginkomi and Raidou’s Rejection.) „Gasp! how could you? you... why...“ The three say in unison. They all run to the trinity door and get ready. „You truly have not changed, you embrace your idolatry, now i must eliminate you with the help of your father...“ Ginkomi lunges at me with nothing but his holy fist and Father tries scratching me more and attempting to kill me. I use Gaea rage and both fall. „I accept it, i will be a martyr.“ „You made me proud son, but i don’t think this is the-the...cough...correct solution.“ They both die slowly. I sense a major foe. „You have denied your grace, even your name was supposed to mean 11th Lunar Month holy child, Kogoshi and Getsu, you have angered me and want to defeat me, i created you and offer you salvation, if you do not bow to lucifer.“ The Trinity has mercy on me, but its too late. „You are fool, come and try.“ He splits into the father and starts stomping me and then turns into the son and starts punching me and every punch being more and more deadly, but when he turns into the holy spirit i have the chance to use gaea rage. Suddenly the trinity crumbles and doesn’t say word. I step into the door and embrace chaos. CHAOS ENDING: The world is on fire, order has crumbled, i lay there starving, it feels like i’m on venus, lord please come back. The LAW DOOR (Ginkomi’s Alignment and Hinokona’s rejection [Mizu and Raidou are okay with it since they are half law] „You...YOU IDIOT, you need to end it, end the suffering by ending order, stupid religions and all this crap END IT GRAAAH!“ Hinokona attacks me and i stab him with longinus defeating him for good. „O...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-!“ He is mad but explodes like a grenade. I enter the door with Mizu, Ginkomi and Raidou. „Oh my, you think that this is the right way, HA-HA-HA, i am Lucifer Morningstar lord of chaos, i will crush you for rejecting me!“ Ginkomi prays the Jesus prayer and Lucifer is already hurt. „Grrah, no stop STOP!“ He replies in pain as longinus pierces his right side like Jesus. „Oh...my...how horrible.“ he falls and turns to sand. „Oh...you did not want to go that path....silly human, The Trinity will destroy your freedom, listen to Manitou.“ I slash Manitou one final time with my fang and he turns into leaves. I go through the door with them. LAW ENDING: I lay with Mizu in bed and look at the sun and sky full of angels and saints being visible to the naked eye, all mosques, synagogues and temples have been torn down and churches have been built instead, our country is now a orthodox christian monarchy, catholicism of rome has been abolished and they have been taken out of schism, the other apostolic churches as well, protestantism is extinct and the only faith on earth is Orthodox Christianity, Ginkomi sits on the roof praying and my father is out swimming with Gouto who became a cat again, Nagi is also with him, Chaos has crumbled. THE END
