Intoxia Warriors - Mizuka Blood (Book One)

by De'Karhi Philpot

  "There was more than a substantial grudge that I had with Diamond and why her death would have been quick and painless since the day she birthed her child. Because--"

  Black told her to lower her voice down, since they're talking in private and wanted no other ears peeping in on their discussion.

  "Listen, Black. You knew that I wanted to have a lot to do with life; do everything that a normal person would do. Maybe there was a point in my life when I was a human," Marscilla stated sadly. "Diamond had always said that no matter the species as long as they can maintain a good spirit, she'd always respect them, regardless of the amount of mistakes they make."

  "And you assumed that your heritage, a demon, never qualified, huh?" Black corrected. "There are some battles that was worth fighting. I sometimes feel that I can entrust myself with your powers and skills and mentality as a Bloodlust Revelation warrior, but my reality sometimes clouds my judgement to rank you up to where Charlie and Emerald are."

  "I don't have a problem with you thinking that way. Plus it always best if I had some people ahead of me; for at least I can learn how they fight and defeat their opponents without breaking a sweat," Marscilla looked over at the mode beige-brown writing on a large pillar on the other end of the stairway, leading down Dragon Fortress' level.

  Black's respect for Marscilla's so-called weird behavior went from zero percent to a hundred; based off the correct protocol she used and how she felt.

  "Marscilla. We have gathered some people that are determined to try and steal the Diary Symbols that we all worked so hard for. Now, I'm going to assign you to a mission to attack the Intoxicated Asylum," Black had ordered. "Now if you think that it's possible for you go there at least before the beginning of next month, I advise you start planning and acting now. Oh, and FYI, I will be sending Lisa and Thorn along with you."

  "Hold on, Black. Thorn, I respect the hell out of and like, but Lisa, you know she slows us down too much. And that's something that I can't stand."

  "Hmm, you sure are monstrous enough to say that toward his face, but not mine," Lisa came up, in her human form with both wings flipping into her back. "I understand that you don't like me and that you show it, but I want you to be mindful that I'm on your side no matter what."

  "You two time out for a minute. Only I get to make the decisions and that's final," Black always stayed true to his notorious plots and planning, regardless of which member is assigned to a deathly task involving the Intoxian Army. "Since I've already assigned Emerald and Charlie to another mission to seek out the the Avarian Beast of the Amili family - Renasakuya. The demons of that family have been roaming around the forbidden Widow Forest. It's just only a four-hour journey and they're to bring in the Amili Beast for interrogation."

  "I thought that you killed that one a long time ago," Marscilla assumed, but wasn't aware of Black's agenda at that time.

  "It was over three years ago that I find out that Renasakuya was trying to sabotage me into not going after one of her children in order to try and develop more Blood Demons from her blood," Black explained. "It became very clear that Renasakuya's been aware of our actions for quite a while now. She's in fear that she's going to be at a sensitive disadvantage by the time we're done interrogating her."

  Marscilla sighed while looking back at Lisa, "Then don't you think that Lisa should be assigned to that task?"

  "It would make sense, but she lacks remembrance sometimes and this would feel like the day that she forgets what she's there for and then she'll start confusing herself with a lot things that'll become misconstrude completely."

  Marscilla glanced over at Lisa with a smirk on her face, mimicking Lisa by narrating Black's opinion, "Yes, Lisa. You're battle-smart, but not brain-smart."

  "I never asked you to narrate a damn thing for me," Black went passed and exited the halls of Dragon Fortress. "Now you're all heading for Intoxicated Asylum to release the Akuma Beasts out of prison."

  "What do you think awaits us there?" Marscilla came behind the beastly Reaper with her eyes on Lisa who tailed behind them both.

  "I need you to go and have a word with Samantha Erisa about her decision to come to Leserado next month for the battle that's going to occur. That is if you can find her." Black answered.

  However, Marscilla's expression changed immediately into a look of resentment. She found out recently that Samantha's joined the Cyrius Organization nine years ago. It was concluded recently that she intended to going after Renasakuya to obtain the Amili clan's diabolic ascendant of the Renugarasaka.

  "The Cyrius group. Aren't they the ones--" Before Marscilla could recap herself with some of the recent events, she found out from Charlie and Emerald "...that tried to go to war with Tornado and his Eastern Army, due some of the events that happened and they had a hand in Diamond's demise. Not to mention that there were a series of children imprisoned at Maze's Temple and Tornado was on the verge of saving them around that time. Two months before the Ceremony that occurred a while ago."

  "Man, it's like most organizations are trying to stay one step ahead of us and it's like you just sit there and wait for the right moment to strike," Lisa acknowledged Black's tenacity on certain aspects and how he'd managed his flaws with other groups.

  In the debts of the famous Widows Forest is caked in the colors of payne grey trees, pearl aqua-blue leaves, pastel brown branches, and a series of countless typical animals roaming in different corners of the Forest. The island was around the size of eight-hundred fifty feet wide and sixteen miles long for all four coast directions.

  At the nucleus of the forest lived the Avarian Amili Beast - Renasakuya. The form of the creature was demon-like, but mainly appeared as an enlarged black widow spider with typically eight, bold legs and had the skin color of seal brown with a skobeloff spider symbol with an ancient texture labeled in slate gray: Thou Shall Not Kill Unless It's Approved By God Himself.

  Chapter 18 - The Amili Beast Confrontation

  ***

  A total of twenty warriors were all present in the Training Arena designed and created by the Western Army. Lola and her warriors, as well as Tornado's, Brook's, and of course, Shizuka's warriors were all in the mindset of being assigned to the same mission: To do battle with not only just the Bloodlust Revelation group, but as well as three others that will attending the Tomb of Leserado for a battle known as the 'Warriors War' next month.

  Lola began speaking while in between the Southern and Eastern generals, "From the moment you've all walked the stage of the Ujikadaka Academy, you've all had a dream become a reality. I hope you all understand that you're priviledged to fight alongside your leaders.

  As far as Brook and Tornado were concerned, they realized Lola's voice seemed rough at the start of her sentence, but managed to clear her throat.

  "The Bloodlust Revelation had abducted one of my new recruits. This time, they're attempting to reanimate the Avarian Beast of the Aruba bloodline," before Lola could continue, a warrior of the Southern Army. Daniela Aruba, talked out of turn.

  "Excuse, I believe I have a question to ask," Daniela said in a rough tone.

  "No, you're to wait until General Mizuka has finished saying her piece," Brook answered with a straight look, shutting the four-month warrior's mouth.

  "As I was saying, they made a claim before that the Aruba Beast has some abilities that are only required to the members of the Aruba bloodline, and since you decided to speak out of turn, Daniella, I'm so curious to know what you need to ask."

  "Thank you," Daniela stepped forward with confidence. "Firstly, I apologize for my rudeness. Secondly, why are we wasting our time teaming up with your group when you know that the other coasts can't stand them?"

  "Because it was my idea, young one," Tornado answered.

  "I didn't ask you, I asked General Brook," Daniela's tone had riled Brook's patience into hot water.

  "Please shut up, Daniela. You're starting to make me regret the fact t
hat I even ranked you up with that bitchy, arrogant attitude of yours. This is a great chance for you to get to know your fellow warrior's strengths and capabilities. We don't teach other weaknesses and you are not going to start by trying to talk down to them," Brook. took her time to putting Daniela in her place. "Now get back in line, shut up and listen to the Core General's instructions."

  Daniela gave a scowled look at her General, but did what was told of her.

  "Now, there's going to be ten groups of two. One warrior of each of the Coasts will be pairing up in training through physical and weaponry training. The sparring will last for up to ten minutes each. After that, you'll go and pick another member from one of the three coasts to choose as your opponent. we'll do this once a day for at least two hours," Lola instructed word for word by Shizuka when they were using their Energy Stream to communicate around the it the Western General left the building. "Remember, one opponent from each of the three of the different coasts except your representation. For example, which will be in actuality, Hiba from the North spars with Isabella of the West. So you two go over there and don't start until I whistle for the bell to begin."

  Hiba had followed the red-haired woman's orders. However, her "rival" didn't take it too kindly as she wanted to train with someone else.

  "No, Isabella. Even some people like you need to prove yourself instead of flapping those your lips. You said before," Tornado stated. "You said that you wanted to be the 'quote-on-quote' best female warrior in the army right. Well there's a huge chunk of them that are lightyears stronger than you. Not to mention they're more mature and stabled than you."

  "What's that supposed to mean?" Isabella complained.

  Hiba then answered without hesitating, "It means you have no comprehension or knowledge that it takes so much more to being a warrior than trying be the best."

  Isabella's eyes narrowed in disgust, "Shut up. Nobody asked you to answer for me."

  "Well, guess what, Isabella, the only way in how you can shut me up is if you put your mouth where your fists are," Hiba challenged. "Unless, you and Daniella are saying most of this stuff because you like hearing yourselves talk so much."

  "Why I 'outta," Isabella quickly walked up toward the Hinura heroine and tried to throw a punch, but was stopped, merely stopping at the tip of Hiba's nose. Hiba smiled and laughed for a second.

  "Easy, tigress," Hiba mimicked with a warm smile on her face. "I'm not trying to be your enemy. I'm on your side and we're fighting the same--"

  She saw a knee coming directly at her; looking the opposing direction, she saw Daniela coming at her. Hiba ducked, dragging Isabella's body in close and took a severe knee blow to the forehead. The Poison warrior winced, surprising Daniela in disbelief. Hiba's face changed into serious terms.

  "Alright, you girls need an ass-spanking. Lola, General Brook and General Tornado, can I educate these two?" Hiba uttered. She activated her family's special powers that can easily rival any warriors of the Six Core Bloodlines; The Legendary Hinura Stareyes.

  The Hinura allows the user to have three different sectors of the body that can be stabled for thirty minutes each. The Stareyes can also break into an inside flow of solid, brown armor that spread 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 users entire body for a good sixty minutes.

  "Sure, go ahead. If it means trying to make them learn the hard way of what 'respect means," Lola approved Hiba's request without reconsideration.

  "Good. Seems like we'll have to show these girls why Lola Mizuka's combat methods are always the best," Hiba bragged childishly while triggering stage one of the Stareyes (The Original).

  Isabella and Daniela had heard some tales of warriors of the Hinura family of from both Coasts about how powerful the Stareyes truly are and how it was passed on from generation to generation and what's become a part of their tradition. They both decided to show off their own techniques to try and rival Hiba's.

  Isabella, releases a sphere of smalt blue energy mist; altering into the Legend of the Gurasa Wolf Spirit. It's a transformation that can only be formed by members of the Poison family and/or people who share an unbreakable bond with that particular member of the canine-warrior group. Isabella's body remained in the state of a human, but with twilight lavender fur blooming out from inside her skin. Her ears on both sides had been replaced with her mind and mentality altering easily. She grew a medium-size tail from her lower back with stringly lines swirling around her body, in the color of timberwolf gray. Her eyes switched from blue to UA red.

  Hiba stood still with a I'm-not-impress expression on her face, seeming that she’s sparred with some members of the Poison family that went into the same transformation as Isabella, but she'd always relied on her Stareyes for additional quality of her prowess in combat.

  Wow, Sonya thought in her mind. It's like these guys are good news for us to being able to save Crystal in one piece. Speaking of canine, I haven't seen my friend Ivy in a while. I wonder how she's doing?"

  Sonya paid close attention as she heard her name being called after a second of living in her thoughts.

  Tornado's opinion wasn't very disrespectful, seeming that he and Isabella share the same bloodline, neither of the two were aware that the Gurasa Wolf Spirit runs through their veins.

  Hm, Tornado begun thinking as he looked down at the Core General. This isn't the first time I've seen her transformation like that. She was just a gal when she obtained this power. I just wonder what my relationship is with her? Whatever I am to her, I'm happy that I'm not the only one in this room that can alter. The Gurasa Wolf Spirits been around for over six millenia and there are several members of the family that's been able to obtain all eight forms.

  "Tornado," Lola called out his name after patting his left shoulder. "Everyone's about to train. We have to go up to the upper level of the Training Arean."

  "Affirmative," Tornado replied, trailing behind the woman and letting everyone training while they go and discuss more about the Avarian Beasts Tornado mentioned earlier.

  ***

  "Milady," said a member of the Avarian Tribe. "You have some visitors from the Bloodlust Revelation and Cyrius have arrived at this time."

  Renusakuya, stood tall, towering all her surroundings by at least eighty stories. She's been sitting upon a sacred lair connected to the Leserado facility Black had designed when he first formed the group over twenty-three years ago. Who appeared before the Amili Beast where Bloodlust's Emerald Aruba and Charlie Mizuka. Who trailed behind them were Cyrius' Samantha Erisa and the leader Flute Mizuka.

  "If you four would bow down to the Amili Beast in respect, that would be great," said a sergeant of the group. However, neither of the four, ruthless entities did as they were told. The reality had came and struck a disturbing sense of aura from the four.

  Renasakuya had a horrific feeling that something cruel was going to occur if she either didn't tell everyone to get away safely or to start asking questions as to why they're on the premises of Widow Forest.

  Surrounding them were a variety of animals from specieis of primates, felines, birds, etc. They had been suspicious and theorically concerned about.

  "Everyone, I'm going to say it one time for you all to get away from here," Renasakuya blurted loudly. "I'm going to have a word with these monsters."

  "Mistress," said a little lemur.

  "Do as I say, young one," the Amili Beast ordered gently. "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."

  "How touching," Charlie mocked the immense moment between the two creatures. "Oh, don't worry about a thing. There comes a time in life where it ends sooner than expected."

  The cruelty of Charlie's words send seering chills down a young, male lemur's spine in cold-blood. He, for a young age, knew what the Bloodlust Mizuka member was referring.

  "You better not touch this child or else I'll be fo
rce to take action against you Bloodlust scums," Renusakuya's voice surged at the audience and at the four suspects. "Now I advise you'd start stating your business at the Widow Forest or leave peacefully."

  "No, my dear. It's possible that the little lemur will be joining you very shortly. Unless she can confess to why she wasn't at the battle fifteen years ago when we had Diamond incarnerated at Leserado," Charlie asked with a sly look of determination for answer.

  This struck a nerve in the Amili Beast's nerve, not beceause of her fear for her own life, but because of the life of everyone around her.

  "Why should I answer to you?" Renusakuya asked ferociously. "I don't think that it matters rather or not I appeared at Leserado around that period. Surely I felt boad for not being able to help you kill Diamond, this isn't the first time that I had to deal Black's bullcrap about domination."

  "But best believe that you'll be needed again next month for a huge battle that will be taking place and only this time, Black has his own agenda for he will not be attending Leserado," Emerald added with cold eyes. "You're going to arrive at the event or else."

  "What do you plan to do exactly? Kill me? Take the life of these innocent children? We Avarian Beasts from the Amili Spider to the Mizuka Phoenix, we never made a factual claim that we were either of you humans' sides. There's nothing special about humans that draws a picture of interest in our eyes."

  "We're a selfish species, it's natural for us humans to go and destroy some things that aren't worth keeping around anymore," Flute quoted significantly.

  "No, you're not a selfish species. You're all just too stupid to appreciate a damn thing. Now this is the last time that I'm going to tell you that I will no longer be attending any events that neither the Bloodlust Revelation or the Intoxian Army have in store," Renusakuya's answered viciously. "Now I've bout wore out my patients with you people, so take your leave and don't ever bother us again. Especially when you people take the lives of innocent souls without a second thought."
