The Great Blaze of Kyoto Final Battle

PART1
Battle against Shinzou and the Assassin

PART2
Battle Against the Aberrant Youko Kitsune

Kyoto

Sunday, June 5th 20XX

---

The sound of a festival continued on unabated as the crisis came to an end. An impressive display of pyrotechnics lined the sky, the golden lights of the festival lanterns illuminated the streets. The people knowing nothing of the battle that had transpired that night, continued the seemingly whimsical festival that was held that night, and just as quickly as the festival appeared, it was gone the next morning, cleaned up to such an impeccable degree that it felt like a dream.

---------------------------------------

Standing before the young Maki as she was laid upon the soil of Nijo Castle, was Kuzunoha, Kuuto, and Motsumine. The three having worked in unison to take down the beast, and held within the fox yokai's hand was the Sessho-Seki. She moved her arm to her side, opening it up, handing it over to Motsumine, who accepted it with little question.

The battle that had ensued consisted of just them three, Motsumine's skill with powerful exorcism spells, Kuzunoha and her illusions and rapid casting, and Kuuto and his peerless skill with a blade. It took them some time, the pure and unbridled power of Tamamo no Mae, even if it was only a fraction, was truly something to be feared.

"And so the curtain falls, and all that remains is this pitiful young girl? Hmmmmm... What I wonder, could have pushed her to do such a thing? Without that wretched blessing, she has become but a glorified doll", the cutting words of Kuzunoha were the first to comment.

"Given my research, I have some theories as to why... But how that relates to what she did, I do not know. We may not ever know until she miraculously awakes", Kuuto crossed his arms in thought. His words were quickly followed by the fox yet again.

"Which she never will, under these circumstances at the very least...",

"In any case, I was surprised to see you appear Lady Kuzunoha, had you not appeared... Rather, I had gone forward assuming you would not, given how you turned down my offer. I fear what may have happened without your assistance",

"Speak no further. When you came to me for aid you petitioned for the aid of Eiseikato. Tonight, it was I in my capacity as an individual, that I had extended my help", Motsumine seemed a little surprised, but bowed slightly as he said his thanks.

"Hm, it seems even a silver-tongued man like you can still be surprised in such ways... But I must also say my thanks. Your massive illusion had ensured the events of tonight remained a secret, something I think could not have been achieved otherwise". Motsumine stepped forward towards the young girl Maki, and knelt down to her, inspecting her.

"The poor girl... We had searched for her for many months, and the sorrow she must have experienced to push her to this besides... I am sure the young Seirin would be most saddened by this development. For now, we shall take her into custody, and see what we can do", the tone of his voice seemed rather sincere about the matter. Kuzunoha turned her back and began walking away from the scene.

"Do what you wish, though I extended aid as a friend tonight, I expect this debt to be repaid sometime in the future. Perhaps we can strike some agreements with yokai visitors in this city? I am of the knowledge that there are some clans that are still repellent to the idea of letting yokai enjoy their own lives here... Which is such a shame. Yokai are rather picturesque to a city like this wouldn't you agree?", with this lighthearted remark, she smiled, before disappearing in a vortex of gray and purple smoke. As she disappeared, so too did Kuuto begin to walk away.

"And I have my job as a teacher at Silver Gate, I'm afraid the aftermath of this mess will have to be handled by you. The students have been put under interesting ordeals thanks to this. Well, you can handle it here anyways can't you?",

"Hmph. To leave me behind to take care of a mess as always. You never change do you", Motsumine closed his eyes in a slight smile.

"Nor do you, always cleaning up after other people... I am expected back at Seidoujima immediately after this school trip, but it will be the summer holidays for the remaining month. Do call on me if you are free for a drink".

"I will"

Saito pursed his lips in one hand while fiddling with the menu in the other... He remembered he saw that people were accessing the menu prior to the attack, which was worth a check. From the looks of it, most personal functions were fine, in fact he can even view some of his skills. However, he accessed the travel menus out of interest, when the young lady had mentioned other states and other areas of the game. For the most part, he was able to see what the locations were by name, but just about every option there was completely grayed out. This might as well had simply been a glorified map function.

He turned back to the conversation as it reached about mentioning the man who appeared before, along with the monsters he brought about. Things were beginning to settle outside, and she asked the group for their choice. As much as he'd like to stay in Aluvera... He had a load of questions that he doubted other players could answer. There was much they should worry about, such as how life would work, assuming this goes into long term, but he was not a settler by any means. He often wandered around when he played the game too, so he felt it was not too different a choice here.

"Hmmmm. I have many questions, regarding why we're all here, and I feel that your quest may yield us some answers. I think I will join you then, at least for a time", he answered rather succinctly and precisely what he felt. He had no attachments to the other players around here, so he had little reason to stick around.

Astor appears a rather pleasant person, not unfamiliar with conversation or even trying to sweet talk people. He can be described as being a somewhat spontaneous person, and one can be sure if there are questions to be answered, he is likely to be there to find that answer. Whether it be to someone's strange and unusual behavior, why someone might be excited, unusual items in unusual places, and so on and so forth. Aside from those curiousities, he is also a man of curiosity who will frequently want time to inspect new machinery or technology, and often laments being unable to be allowed to do so.

He is rarely found idling around, often preoccupied or making himself preoccupied with something. Sometimes he's busy beyond measure and constantly thinking about cases he's accepted, or idly pulling apart and then putting back together various mechanical trinkets to keep himself busy. It is hard to say if he simply dislikes doing nothing, or that it is a habit of his, as he shows no disdain towards the idea of relaxation. It may be likely that keeping his mind occupied is a form of relaxation for him.

Astor Daybreak did not always use the Daybreak name, in fact he used to only be known as Astor, the street urchin. The young boy grew up in a poor part of Crocus City as an orphan, and like other unfortunates before him, had resorted to stealing to get by. From the youngest age he would steal in more brazen manners, but as he grew older, his hands became much more deft and his tongue sharper, becoming a somewhat successful pickpocket. As a result he was also not unfamiliar with being locked up on misdemeanors from time to time, or even being caught with a hot item on him.

However one event would change the course of his life forever, as he would tail a somewhat suspicious mark. Little did he know, they on them had a rather rare dragon lacrima, something that would sell for an immense fortune, but what he didn't know was that this nervous individual was also being hunted for it. It appears a minor mafia group had obtained it, the minor leader of which was hoping to use it and attain power. Once he got his chance he lifted from the individual in a passing exchange. Subsequently they were captured, the lacrima having been lifted from them without them knowing.

For about a day or two, he would go around town asking about what the item was, hoping to sell it off, and word of these actions caught the attention of that mafia who were now searching for it, realizing the man they caught no longer had it. Before his meeting with them though, a detective by the name of Lockeshire Daybreak had found him and immediately deduced that he had stolen it. It was an uncannily accurate deduction, this man who he had never seen before seemed to piece everything together from just a glance.

Regardless of that, Astor would find himself running away, as per his instincts as a pickpocket. This would of course lead to him being captured by the mafia. They would lock him up and then try and wring the lacrima out of him, and during that, he would have hidden it in his mouth. After some rough-housing, he would by accident, find himself swallowing it. It was suffice to say, an unusual situation, but fortunately he would not have to be under duress for much longer. Thanks to the efforts of the aforementioned detective, the authorities would storm the scene and arrest it's members.

Naturally, given what he had done, Astor would find himself also being detained. After the story was shared with all investigators and authorities, there was an attempt to extract the lacrima from within him, though it was to no avail. The attempt however would immediately be followed with what Astor can only describe as agony so great he wished to die in the midst of it. The Lacrima having begun to integrate itself into him and now impossible to retrieve, was now fully becoming a part of him, as his entire body was essentially remade into that of a Dragon Slayer, the process during which he was attended to by doctors and nurses to ensure he lived through the ordeal, as he was young, and it was unknown if he had the fortitude or constitution to weather it. Fortunately though, after almost several hours, he survived, and then subsequently went to sleep for three whole days. Lockeshire who was wholly on the investigation of this stolen Lacrima, which was supposed to be on display for rare items relating to Lost Magic in a museum, explained it to the young boy. He was now a Dragon Slayer.

And had a hefty debt to pay, now that he had ingested it. Being a street urchin there was no way he could have paid it as-is, but the detective would offer Astor to work for him as an assistant. There wasn't much recourse, but he accepted, and so for the next few years he would balance his assistant work in office and on the field, and being able to control and use his newfound magic.

Lockeshire Daybreak was a member of Sapphire Hornet at this time and so it came to be that the young Astor would become acquainted with them. He learned the systems of which that he carried out his investigations, the people he referred to for certain things such as forensics, profiling, connections for information, and even the museum the lacrima was meant to be obtained for had an expert in artifacts. Lockeshire Daybreak while a mage, was by far among the weakest for fighting, but he had a great network of associates for which to carry out his jobs. It was only recently with the addition of Astor, a young Dragon Slayer, that he would find himself more capable of tackling cases with more confrontation, as Astor being a Dragon Slayer now, was suited for such adventures.

Though a novice, these encounters would help him refine his technique and spells, as well as explore his magic's limitations and what it can or can't do. There were times where it would be rather trying, and times where he came through in the end. Naturally under these circumstances his admission to Sapphire Hornet was all but decided, and for at least several years under the Daybreak Detection Agency, and becoming a sort of foster son to the famous detective mage, it was rather peaceful, solving mysteries, and at times coming to blows with dark guilds.

It is however to be noted that despite his low level of combat prowess, the famous detective was sent to investigate rather dangerous cases, and one of which would ultimately claim his life. The investigation had unearthed an attack by Hydra Tongue that would transpire and change the fates of both Sapphire Hornets and Falcon Flight forever, and before he could return and report the results of his investigation, he was hunted down and killed as one of the first deaths, and his body found mere days later. As such, his report which could have warned Falcon Flight of the attack, was never relayed.

In the ensuing months, Astor would find himself in a hurricane of changes, inheriting the Daybreak Agency's headquarters/office which had been and still is his home today, mourning the loss of his foster father, the attack on Falcon Flight, the Sapphire Hornet counter-attack which he had participated in, and in the months afterward, finding himself a member of a newly formed combined guild from the remnants of both.

Today, he continues the operations of the Daybreak Detective Agency as an affiliate and member of Sapphire Falcon. He participates most actively in investigations, particularly in cases involving dark guilds, hoping to find the one who killed Lockeshire, but also to ensure that others might not meet the same fate at their hands, or experience what he has.

Twilight Dragon Slayer - A curious kind of Dragon Slayer that utilizes a specific kind of light, specifically that of the dimming sky of dusk or dawn. Due to this, the appearance of the magic is like that of a starry night sky with an orange-gold gradient at the edges. The magic like most light and dark elements can be molded to fit the user's needs, and even be fired off as beams. The user is also able to consume the specific light between day and night, which makes dusk and dawn the times when they are strongest with no shortage of power for the short period of a sunset or sunrise. For Astor personally, he has learned to make them a bit more efficient, considering he's limited to being able to freely throw his magic around twice a day, he finds he has to make better use of what magical energy when dawn or dusk isn't near.

✖ ‖ S p e l l s

• Twilit Dragon's Talons - A close range spell where the user will swing their fists, or kick, causing a blade of magic to appear and strike in front in the shape of a single arching slash. It can be done multiple times rather quickly.
• Twilit Dragon's Eventide Armory - He is able to form weapons from his magic. Usually for constant use, or a powered up single use strike, in such cases it would be called "Twilit Dragon's <weapon>". The weapons he has access to are sword, axe, spear, and bow.
• Twilit Dragon's Roar - The user will expel a beam-like blast of twilight dragon magic in a straight area in front of them. For the Twilight Dragon in particular, it is a thin beam that traces along the ground, before the path that it has traced explodes violently. It can also be used to strike directly for even more damage, but due to the thinner profile, it may be harder to do.
• Twilit Dragon's Daybreak Dash - This move is named directly after Astor himself and something he calls a secret move. He will charge with great speed at his target as twilight dragon wings sprout behind him, along with it enveloping his body. The newer more powerful looking form will normally be able to grab it's quarry taking them into the air before plunging them into the ground in a brilliant explosion. If it's something like a large monster he will simply crash into them with immense force, and cause an explosion.

✖ ‖ T a l e n t s

• Martial Practitioner - Though not as skilled as his more specialized compatriots, he has dabbled in martial exploits in all manner of things including hand to hand and some swordsmanship. It's quite useful for conserving energy.
• One Most Dextrous - As also proven by his other talents such as lockpicking, pickpocketing, tinkering, and so on, it's easily deduced that he has an incredibly level of skill in tasks of precision, and this rolls over into how he fights too. Precisely and with skill and grace, and unlike many Dragon Slayers, he seems to rarely take a brute force approach, often using much more refined methods.
• Detective - A lot of his jobs that he's taken require some detective and investigative work. He has some skill as a detective and is sometimes asked to take or join for jobs that might require it.
• Pickpocket - He is able to steal small implements from people with little issue (outside of it being stealing). This has come in handy for him a few times in investigations.
• Lockpicker - A skill he acquired in his days as a thief, but mastered thanks to his mentor and father, who was uncharacteristically very skilled at it.
• Tinkerer - Though not an inventor, he is known for having some interest in machinery, and can repair some basic items like a watch.

✖ ‖ O d d i t i e s

• In Debt - He seems to sink in and out of debt on a regular basis. It makes one quite nervous, as when he's out of debt, the next week he will inexplicably be in debt. As it turns out this was a problem when Lockeshire was alive too. Some call it the Curse of the Daybreak Agency.
• Low Constitution - He has a bit of a weak constitution. Being a Dragon Slayer he can take quite a few hits, but it seems you should not expect him to be lifting anything too heavy. He will of course, always try, to some varying degrees of success and fatigue.
• Flair for Drama - He likes to be rather dramatic, especially for big reveals on cases, making a deduction and then announcing it. Whether or not he gets it right, he will always go into it on full confidence that he did just get it right.
• Filling Old Shoes - Try as he might, he can never escape the shadow that is the legacy left behind by Lockeshire. It's not uncommon for him to be noted as "not who they were expecting", or to be told he was "not like him". Though it is not an immediate sore spot, he may not be compelled to keep his usual more pleasant mannerisms in the face of constant nuisances.

✖ ‖ W e a p o n s A n d T o o l s

Special Reinforced Gloves - As his jobs might require him to investigate evidence and thus follow up leads, he needs gloves, and in normal gloves he'll rip or damage them immediately in a fight. Some special gloves were made for him that would withstand his magic without much issue. As they are quite sturdy, they make for a good pair of fighting gloves too.

Lockpick- A tool intended for opening locks. It can even work on some magical locks, as long as the user has magical power of their own. It is worth mentioning it won't work on heavy grade magical locks.

Certainly, it did not feel right to just be gallivanting off while fighting was going on outside, although given the circumstances, getting answers seemed to be priority, at least to everyone present. The explanation given was not substantial in his opinion, nothing said was unable to be gleamed from just looking around, or witnessing the spectacle prior. The answer given whether or not the young girl knew them or not was rather cryptic, and only raised more questions. In times like these, perhaps going along with the events was the better course of action, and it seemed to be the way everyone here was going to go.

"Hmmmm... Well, I suppose I'll also play along. It seems there's more to this than just some 'attack' on a town", one that was a sanctuary no less, it seems the world did not abide by the rules of the game anymore, that much was already certain. Only thing not understood was to what extent... As the talking went on he quickly summed it up cutting towards the end of a long-winded explanation.

"Basically, to cut it short, we know nothing. We woke up and ended up in a game we play frequently. It may seem strange for us to call your world a game but that is just how it is... Or rather, was. We were hoping to get answers from you instead", he explained.

• Flair for Drama - He likes to be rather dramatic, especially for big reveals on cases, making a deduction and then announcing it. Whether or not he gets it right, he will always go into it on full confidence that he did just get it right.
• Filling Old Shoes - Try as he might, he can never escape the shadow that is the legacy left behind by Lockeshire. It's not uncommon for him to be noted as "not who they were expecting", or to be told he was "not like him". Though it is not an immediate sore spot, he may not be compelled to keep his usual more pleasant mannerisms in the face of constant nuisances.

Special Reinforced Gloves - As his jobs might require him to investigate evidence and thus follow up leads, he needs gloves, and in normal gloves he'll rip or damage them immediately in a fight. Some special gloves were made for him that would withstand his magic without much issue. As they are quite sturdy, they make for a good pair of fighting gloves too.

Lockpick- A tool intended for opening locks. It can even work on some magical locks, as long as the user has magical power of their own. It is worth mentioning it won't work on heavy grade magical locks.

Aluvera - Alleyway

---

The battle seemed to go apace, he found himself chasing down a few monsters in the course the chaos, though for the most part it seemed those who could not defend themselves were out of harm's way, and the battle had approached a point where it was time to clean up, though curiously he found himself in an alleyway.

There were people here, hiding. Though it did not seem at all unusual, at first, but then he recognized one of the game's story NPCs here going about healing those who had run here. It was strange to see them acting on their own like this when he was used to them standing around waiting for interaction, especially when they approached the newcomers. He listened to her talk and...

"Before the battle...?", that was a curious detail, one he muttered to himself. Did this mean she would depart as soon as this was over? There were a myriad of questions he wanted to ask, such as why they were here, who the attacker was, what was going on, why this was no longer a game... The last one though may best be investigated instead. He doubted that these characters would know.

"Alright, then I suppose I should ask about this attack. Who was that, and why have they attacked?", he asked.

Aluvera - City Square

Like a blur he would evade and strike incoming attacks for a short moment, cutting away at the front legs further, before the other guy would deal the killing blow. Dispatched rather quickly, as desired, so it seems, but this was just one of the many monsters already present, there was still work that needed to be done. If the information from observation was correct, it was possible to end even the biggest monsters present today with but a single stroke, if he knew where to place it. As he was turning to move to the next, the other swordsman began to address him, so he stopped and turned back.

"Ah... Itou-...", he gave it some thought, he was about to naturally say his real name, perhaps because the feeling was not like that of a game. After rubbing his chin for a moment he looked up again back at the one who introduced himself as Shokatsu Yu.

"Saito Souji", he answered.

"We should move onto the others quickly", they can think about what's happening after it's safe again after all.

Aluvera - City Square

---

The screeches of a few harpies cried overhead as a few running citizens scampered away in fear for their lives. One of which tripped and fell, a young child by the looks of it as the harpy talons borne swooped in, the child would recoil in fear for the inevitable, yet... It did not come. A flutter of feathers followed by the multiple thuds as something fell from the air. The boy would open their eyes and see a black cloaked man holding a katana in between them. One look from the man and the child slowly got up, before being ushered away by their parent.

"How curious, my body appears to simply move if I want to use my skills", he said to himself, as he made his way towards the city's square. Although... A monster attack in a sanctuary area, this was most certainly not part of the normal game, and the way the NPCs had reacted were far too advanced to be a scripted event, he had some knowledge of how games should work and... The technology should not be at this level yet.

As he slowly made his way towards the city square, he had the opportunity to test out his techniques and get a feeling for fighting. Given where they were, and assuming it was all 'real'... Fighting would be inevitable, made very apparent by this event. He can think about what has happened later, he thought to himself.

He soon found himself at the heart of the commotion, and there were already some people here fighting. Griffons and Sphinxes were present, a much greater foe than harpies. Given the strength of these enemies he should pick an enemy already being engaged with, and end them as soon as possible.

He looked around and saw another swordsman charging at a Sphinx, and took it upon himself to assist him.

Taking his katana in two hands he charged forward, "Myoujingiri!" He began to move quickly before disappearing into a blur, a flurry of slashes would make themselves visible followed by streaks of light lined up against the front legs and neck in various arrays, before he finally appeared at the front of the Sphinx. There was no tank holding the Sphinx's attention, and knowing that he aimed to end it as soon as he could.

I'm quite certain with the maid approach you can easily make a combat maid class or aesthetic.

Aluvera - City Streets

---

The sound of murmuring crowds both familiar and not so filled his ears, the bustling views of Aluvera were spread before him in a somewhat unfamiliar angle, and most importantly... He wasn't at home anymore. The immediate first thing he did in this situation was look around, before he'd start wandering. It would not be much longer than a dozen seconds before he'd notice the clothes he was in, what he was carrying, and then soon confirming his face in a glass window pane. He sighed, and then appeared to accept that this is what had indeed happened.

He looked around and began to wander the city streets, and... It was possible this might have been some strange dream. There were many others who reacted in varying ways to what appeared to be the same situation, based on some exclamations. Characters he recognized as part of the city's population, NPCs, did not appear at all alarmed.

Well, for the time being, he decided to get a handle on what was happening. By some miraculous feat, players were sent into Emerald Odyssey, all he remembered was logging in then looking away to grab his dinner. Not to mention, it seems people were now their characters too... He recalled hearing someone yell and reveal something to the extent that their character was not their gender. He looked down upon the two blades at his waist, so he is currently his main class Samurai. He was eager to see what this all meant for their skills and classes, but for now while he was here he should probably take stock of this situation as he continued to wander around Aluvera.
