Intoxia Warriors - Mizuka Blood (Book One)

by De'Karhi Philpot

  "You can say, 'Lola, this is the best day of my life. I love you for it.'," Lola acknowledge with quote ideas.

  The elevator was filled with the young gal's voice as she repeated, "Lola, this is the best day of my life and I love you for it." Crystal smiled awkwardly to the point where she shouldn't have said anything afterwards.

  Reaching floor three-hundred, twenty-one, all passengers had unbound the elevator with the rows of people gathering around the tables with white plastic plates and preparing to feast on whatever they could find.

  Each table was over eight kilometers long and six feet wide. Table one had pastries far as Cake, Ice-cream, brownies, animal cakes, Jell-Os of all flavors including ones that came out like Rainbow, blue-berry, Lime Green, Grape Purple and much more.

  Table two possessed all poultry. Three held all sea food far as Catfish, Tilapia, Lobsters, Octopus legs, various sushi.

  The master table, Four is where everyone once headed for; The Cake of The Intoxicated Facility Building. Cake designs standing at over one story-tall each layer supported by different sweets. Candy Corns, Gummy worms, sour gummy worms, all the flavors of pies at the bottom of each layers.

  "I was in the middle of taking a shower and then this asshole Ross popping out of nowhere right off the bat," Hiba bit her bottom lip with both eyes narrowing with sinner. Ross, felt his heart dropping, but joining in on the joke.

  "Hey, I told you to not take it personal, Hiba. I begged the hell out of you for over the last few hours," Ross quoted with his face growing even whiter. All I wanted to get was a bar of soap for crying out loud."

  "Ah, I'm over it now, Ross. Just calm the hell down," Hiba had a straight, serious face. "I don't get why you can't just accept it," Hiba lowered her head.

  Soon afterwards, Hiba and Ross burst out laughter with the others joining in while devouring their meals. Lola and Crystal approached them with plates in hand. Everyone had enjoyed their times as apart as if they're all family.

  Within a few moments, all the lights in the balcony had blown out several seconds later. People had stopped speaking, but merely over a hundred were murmuring wonder what the hell's costing the lights to go out unsuspectingly.

  "What the hell's that? Find out, you three," Lola ordered, being able to perform her heatwave to help everyone see through the rich darkness. The soldiers went over towards the entrance. In a few moments, a scream would send a strong vibe.

  Without a sign of predictions, the lights had strongly flashed back on; realizing that a female's soldier's corpse stood in the middle of the floor. The Intoxicated Cake had collapsed with the blood slipping off the table.

  A middle-aged soldier had screamed as she was shoved away from the corpse with blood smeared on her military attire, "Oh Diamond's Light!"

  Lola shoved her way through the pillar of warriors, agents, soldiers and trainers. "What in the name of mother's light."

  Over the intercom someone's voice surged through the building, awaiting to seek their attention. All they could hear is the sound the Grim Warrior himself, Black Hinura.

  "It's been over a decade since we last made personal contact, Mizuka," Black snickered with a sinister tone, echoing ominously throughout the Balcony. "I never thought you'd be the one to raise someone else's child, Lola."

  "Where are you, Black?" Lola demanded with her sword unsheathing from her back. "Everyone, including you Crystal, stay in here. Shizuka, Brook, come with me."

  "There's no point in trying to search for me, Mizuka. But I'm going to make a proposal for you, Crystal, my dear," Black said. "I didn't suspect for you to be alive after fifteen years."

  "What are you trying to propose, Black," Lola asked fiercely. No answer came from Black. She asked once more, this time, driving in brute force. "You better make this quick and I mean quick."

  Black laughed with his skull landing on the microphone, "You're still that same particular woman you were when you went through hell that night. I refuse to give out some more information to those fools who have even the slightest idea of why you're always so angry at the world."

  Lola's heart raced irresistibly, with her eyes widening in horror.

  Everyone noticed as they turned around and saw the expression on her frightened face. For the first time in everyone's journey as supporting comrades of her army, they see fear.

  "Not exactly tough at all, huh? Well, I can't say I blame you. You feel remorseless towards the likes of your own allies, even if you're hiding a smile on your face, you wouldn't be foolish enough to keeping a secret from a girl that's always looked up to you as a mother. I won't spoil the beans entirely. Hence that you're going to have only one month to make up your mind," Black's intentions were to drive Lola past her limits of emotions.

  Lola begged, lacking the understanding that 'beggers can't be choosers'. "I will not have you taunt me like this into having that girl get the wrong idea. Is that clear?"

  "Oh, you're still spoiling that child, something that an Aruba wouldn't be capable of doing. Fifteen years is long enough for a child to stay clueless about her past," Black's words had began to bind the connection between he and Lola. "One month, Lola. You don't have much of a choice. I'm more than certain that Kuronina would be the perfect creature for young Crystal to host. You can't always expect her to be safe forever. If I were you, I can tell that this is going to drive you into mental disintegration the moment we have our way with Crystal Aruba."

  "You are not going to lay a finger on--"

  Black interjected before Lola could make an outburst, "Slow down, Mizuka. We have a special treat for this young lady and you sure as hell will enjoy it. I'll give you an easy hint of who we're going to be targeting in order to release the Avarian Beasts of both your clans. Crystal, in one month, your life will completely disintegrate because a someone couldn't trust you that well."

  "You're going to leave her out of this. I don't want her to get involved in this situation," Lola uttered.

  "Well you don't have any other choice," Black felt concerned, regarding Lola's denial.

  "Oh, I have more than 'no' choice. I punish those who threaten any of my comrades. Now like I said, you're going to show your face and get down here. That's the one thing that you're going be doing; do you hear me?" Lola shouted, doing everything in her blood to protect Crystal.

  Black chuckled, hoping to expose his appearance in the clearest way. He can't let his face be discovered insignificantly.

  Instead, he uttered, "Lola. I think you're going to get a good glance for once until next month. I will honor my word. I mustn't harm any of your soldiers as long as you try to not allow me to provoke you on every aspect. And once you've made your move, they'll be no excuses to back down from a fight."

  Lola couldn't argue with that logic, even if she thought for a moment of trying to facing Black in mortal combat, she wouldn't be able to last a minute; experiencing the gap between both strengths. Astounded by the gravity Black's been controlling, Black didn't stop to show his appearance in front of the entire army.

  Warping his way through the ceiling of the balcony like a ghost, he's arrived.

  Crystal, Lola thought as she felt Crystal shaking unavoidably. Diamond, please guide me through this scenario and keep her protected until this is all over. The last thing I would do is commit suicide all because my irresponsibility of--

  Lola heard voices coming in through her mind. All she could hear was Black's voice getting closer and more critical to her standard. Chills had surged through her spinal cord, silenced by Crystal's intimidation; it was making her nervous.

  "Crystal, you stay away from this bastard he's infamous for destruction and killing," Lola warned her as Hitachi, Alex and Sonya all tried to approach him. But was stopped by several guards.

  "Who the hell do you think you are, tough guy. Stop hiding under your--" Sonya's loud mouth was caked by Brook's right palm.

  "Sonya. You don't even have the slightest idea of who that monster is," Brook spoke desperately. Staring
motionlessly at the appearance of this formidable foe.

  Black moved his feet towards the General with his skeletal hands covered by his long sleeve. The grim smile remained as he engaged toward Lola and Crystal. Crystal felt so terrified that she'd completely lost her confidence and bravery.

  The Grim warrior entered Crystal's mind the minute he touched her head for a split second, but was swatted away by Shizuka, who realize what Lola's problem was. He began to send a grim reminder to Lola's disciple. But he had more than two propositions to offer within the elements of what his plans.

  "Crystal," Black came to an abrupt stop before continuing his speech. "I'm sure that you're more aware of Diamond Aruba's destruction, right?"

  "Destruction?" Crystal seemed puzzled, triggering a nervous point of Lola's mind. "What are you talking about 'destruction'?"

  "Hmm," Black seemed utterly surprised that Lola's daughter-figured didn't know about the chaotic demise of the former General of the Intoxian Army. "I would have suspected that the Mizuka woman you've looked up to for fifteen years would have spilled the beans by now."

  "Why would I say something that disturbing and unforgettable towards her. She's only fifteen years old, Black. Why are you pressuring her into asking something that I don't want her to know?" Lola seemed scared, based off the way her voice is. "I swear to you that if you even think about telling--"

  "Relax, Lola. No one said I was going to expose her to the truth. I was just going to give her hints and clues of what should've been said a long time ago. If I remembered correctly, you said once she's old enough to learn the story, she'd be able to handle the truth. But based off of your dishonesty, I say you're protecting her from the truth that could, very well, implode her mentality."

  Chapter 10 - One Month For Resurrection

  From the titles of rankings of Private soldiers, to Corporals, to Sergeants to the Major Generals all the way to Core General (the largest title in the facility and Army.) All the figures, at approximately over four-hundred thousand soldiers standing before the mad beast.

  "If you want to prove that you're an Intoxian Core General, then let's put your fifteen years of being the General to the text."

  "Enough, Black," Lola's voice grew immensely, triggering her Steaming Jetbird and tried to attack the predatory foe. "I've had enough you talking!"

  The Steaming Jetbird allows Lola to storm her fist directly through her adversary's vital spots within the opponents. Before she extend the blow perfect, Black activated the first stage of the Hinura Stareyes (Original). His foot remained frozen, manipulating everyone's thought into thinking that Black was afraid.

  When the Steaming Jetbird made contact with his face, the monster stood still with a body armored from his skull. He used his energy to hardened the skull to an iron level tougher than steel.

  Lola felt her fist coiled by Black's right hand, jerked in closely and her left rib was connected by Black's right knee, due to the Stareye ability lowering itself down to from his legs to the bottom of his foot.

  The Hinura Stareyes is a special ability that allows the user to have three different section be stabled for thirty minutes each. The Stareyes can also break into an inside flow amount of solid brown marks that spreads into the first stage, from the top of the skull down to the chest. The second goes from the stomach down to the thighs, and the third is down to the legs. In additional quality, the final stage will cover the user's entire body for a good sixty minutes.

  The impact from the blow enforced the Core General to collapse quickly to her knees. She barely lost her breathing and didn't have the strength to stand up easily. Black hoisted her up by her blood-red hair. Black pratically caught Lola's skull with his, but was stopped by Shizuka's quick attack - Blazing Hurricane.

  Shizuka's Blazing Hurricane allows not only the frame the storm across the environment with her sword bursting with flames, whirling her body toward her enemy and quickly catch them off guard.

  "I don't think that there's a chance you can easily fight against me," Shizuka stepped in front of the bruised warrior. "Now it's my turn to get a piece of you."

  "I've been expecting this to happen," Black had kept his word that he'd attack if one of the heroes struck first.

  Shizuka encircled herself and Black around a blaze of flame barrier, being able to push everyone away without any harm.

  "Like Lola said, even though I may not get along with her, we swore that you won't be able to lay a finger on that girl that Lola's worked so hard on raising," Shizuka blizzard her body at the Grim Reaper. Both weapons had engaged with the whole room tremoring due to the destructive aura of both combatants.

  Sonya and the other three looked on with strong tensions. She was the first to comment on Shizuka's bravery, "Holy crap. He just kicked Lola's ass without even breaking a sweat and with one blow! Oh-ho-ho-ly shit!"

  Alex never suspected that the Core General would be beaten that easily all because of her emotions and how she lost concentration and lacked the mentality of being a General.

  Hitachi rushed over toward his mother and tried to aid her. He didn't know what to do but helplessly have others assist him. The other medics, including Ross and his mentor and father-figure. Slowly hoisting the woman up to not develop anymore pressure on her ribs. She grunted frustratingly.

  "Slow down, please," Lola ordered with her hand coiled around the two men's support with both arms coiled around each their necks.

  "Man, not even a few minutes and he kicked your ass," Ross said.

  "Yea, thanks for the damn comment, Ross. I wasn't expecting my emotions to get in the way," Lola replied as she noticed Crystal standing still; then melting down to her knees with both her eyes shaded. "Crystal?"

  Stuck at her own lack of courage, Crystal didn't bother drawing herself to confront the Reaper, ultimately realizing that she would easily jeapordize her own life. Within minutes, Black had defeated Shizuka.

  The flame barrier had faded away and crowd saw that Black had vanished and Shizuka had lost consciousness. Her blade had disintegrated into million pieces. The small ounces of flare disappearing slowly with additional intensive care assistances trailing over in her direction.

  Lola sighed with her green-lime eyes closing instantly and in shame, Nothing's changed. Every fight that I've been involved in with Bloodlust, it's like they get more perilous than from when we, as a whole army, encountered them.

  "I have pretty much invested my time here," Black's colorless eyes turned into the direction Crystal Aruba who was frozen. He advanced toward Lola and the others stood, no longer concerned about the damage he's caused around a lot of people. "Crystal. There's something that I must tell you and I'm more than certain that you're going to love this story. But you will come with me and fulfill the one dream that Diamond K. Aruba had shattered."

  Lola, whose wounded from head to stomach, had grasped her daughter-figures arm and didn't know how to explain the stories that she's told.

  "Crystal. Don't listen to him. Those stories, they are true. I'm a no better liar than he is. Please--" Crystal's mentor and mother-figure lacked the courage to hold on even tighter as she saw the monster bending down on one knee.

  "Crystal, there's one thing that you must understand, my dear. But... There's a price to pay for something that you must know in this world," Black's horrible words had pressured Crystal's heart to sink into her stomach effortlessly. "The woman that's been like a mother to you for all these years hasn't been as truthful as she's claimed to be."

  "Bla--" Lola tried screaming, but felt her right hand slipping out and down beneath the blue-haired Aruba. "Don't you dare take her away from me. I worked hard for her--" The Mizuka General than felt her hand stapled down by Black's foot after her ascended the armored marking onto his foot.

  "Crystal, I will give you a choice, but regardless of your answer, you're going to come with me one way or the other," Black quoted while rubbing his skeletal palm onto Crystal's right cheek; trembling her ev
en more with his irresistable aura of hollow or ghoulness. "You need someone that can teach you how to be honest. Somone, that can train you in how to be stronger instead of sugar coating things with you and being so unorthodox with everyone else."

  "I say that you've spoken long enough, you old bastard," Tornado joined the fray as he altered into his deathly Gurasa Wolf Spirit, standing upon four paws with his fur shifting from a typical ordinary purple to a mixture of cadmium red, byzantine purple and dark tan. Dark state gray mist bloomed around his figure with three deep champagne-color stems growing from both sides of his face and his forehead and extended out to seven feet long. "That girl isn't going anywhere with you. Now you need to get the fuck out of here or else I won't be as hesitant as I was on the day you took Diamond's life."

  The Gurasa Wolf Spirit is a transformation that only the Poison Bloodline can achieve. It was originated by the Avarian Beast of the Poison Bloodline - Skyfall, who has been missing for well over seven years since they last encountered an organization that utilized with Bloodlust Revelation. One of the most gruesome ways to achieve that power is by passing all the tests of Skyfall's training - Obtaining the Gurasa Madallion.

  Quivering in fear of how far Tornado had to go, thousands of people gasped and some of their reactions didn't seem so light. Most had grew into a form of turmoil, sadness and Lola's was completely different. Her's was enraged and fueled by motivation to stand up once more and fight back.

  "My, my, my, Tornado. I can't necessarily pinpoint how strong you've gotten over the last decade, but I can assure you, that it's going to last a bit shorter than expected," Black towered over his targets. "I'm going to slowly take my time with you, but loan be known, a premature ressurection for the Legendary Kuronina shall be accomplished because of that young lady you're protecting."
