Phantom Guardians|Episode 13|

"Didn't your mom ever teach you not to play with fire?" The man grinned

"Ahah, very funny.." the figure slowly walked out of the shadows revealing himself.

The guy was shirtless with bandages all over his body and he wore a long black coat up to ankle length. His pants were long and rigid, torn here and there. From his point of view, he was holding his sword on his right hand and he held it upside down. It glowed fiery blue and was translucent. His left hand had blue flames surrounding it, looking etheral.

But what really caught most people's attention would be his face, well half face actually. From people's view, his right side of his face was a normal looking face. On the left side though, was a skeleton face, and was fleshless.


.:The Two Faced Guy:.


"Wow, look at him, he looks like some freak" Lilith said.

"Don't underestimate his look. He's one strong asshole!" The man said.


"Strong? Me? You don't have to flatter me with those words..." the two faced guy said.


Violet slowly regained consciouness from afar. Everything was still a blur and she couldn't really see the 3 figures properly. She remembered the vampire phantom but not the other 2.
"who the heck are the other 2?" she thought to herself.



"Heh, you were never one for compliments, Odin." the man smiled

"It's CodeName: Odin to you, lowlife R.P.G" the two faced guy barked

"You dare call master West a lowlife you ass!?" Lilith yelled

"Ahahahah, West, King of Hearts if I'm not wrong? One of the 4 Royal Assassins eh?" Odin smirked


"Enough talk, time to die!" West backflipped and he took out a rose from his pocket.


Odin just stood there, calm and collected without a hint of fear in him.

"Do you know what it feels like to be dead?" he said softly


"What are you babling to yourself there Odin?! Why don't you get ready to fight me?" West screamed

"I guess not..."

"If you're not gonna attack me, I guess I will!" West yelled as the rose on his hand started to transform into a crimson blade with a green handle. It looked like a sword modeled after a rose.

"You've never been killed before.."

West dashed forward and quickly slashed Odin.


A moment of silence quickly spread through the air.. suddenly,


TWING


Odin's blade clashed with West's rose blade.

"Don't tell me you thought I would've been that reckless?" Odin smiled

"That was the plan....Lilith, Now!"


Lilith quickly appeared next to Odin, ready to wrap him with her wings but he quickly vanished and reappeared next to her, with his blade up against her throat.


"West, West...Tsk tsk tsk. That was such a predictable tactic." Odin laughed

"Shut up, stop talking and continue the fight you bastard!"

West lunged himself forward and tried to stab Odin but he quickly blocked it with his blade.

"Do you really wanna fight me fully? Cause if you do, I can just end this quickly." Odin's skull face started to glow. The hollow empty socket on the eyes started to blaze up fiery blue.


Odin put his left hand infront of him and muttered loudly:
"Phantom Pulsar!"


The etheral flame slowly spun and blasted a huge spiraling blue flame horizontally forward.

Lilith quickly dashed infront of West to block the attack but she was quickly damaged by the blaze.

"Lilith! Withdraw!" West ordered.

Lilith immediately got inside West.

"This aint over you bastard!" West yelled as he quickly disappeared into the darkness.


He left a little present as it rolled towards Odin's feet.

"Heh, thanks for the present!" Odin quickly took the grenade and tossed it into the air as it exploded



"Who...who the hell are you?!" Violet said as she pointed her katana at Odin.

"That's CodeName: Odin. One of the Maverick Revolvers." Naomi pointed out.


"Ahahah, It's nice to see you again Princess." Odin bowed

"Don't be so formal Odin. Just call me Naomi."

"No no, I can't just call you unformally.."

"O..k then." Naomi sighed


"Umm...where's Shiroi and Grimm?" Tsuki asked

"Hey, you're right. Where are they? And where's Wakizashi?" Violet started looking around


"I'm...right here.." Wakizashi said as he slowly stood up.


"SHIROII?! GRIMMM!?" Tsuki yelled


No reply...

Where could those two have gone!?

Phantom Guardians|Episode 12|

Naomi, Violet and Shiroi continued their journey to the village

"You think the phantom's gonna cause us trouble?" Violet asked


"Nah, Naomi's with us" Shiroi smiled


"Heheh, I wouldn't entirely be sure of all of us surviving just because of me" Naomi laughed


As they got closer towards the village, a small sign caught their attention by the roadside. It read..


.:Quantum Village:.


"Hey look, I guess we're here." Shiroi pointed out

"You really think we should go there?" Grimm said

"Don't wuss out now Jim, you're my phantom guardian afterall" Shiroi laughed

"Ugh...why won't you stop calling me Jim!!"

"Cause it's fun to tease you bro" Shiroi smiled

"Bleurgh. I guess I'll have to live with it then.." Grimm sighed




"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HELP!!!!"

A cry for help echoed the silent night. The three of them quickly ran towards the village to investigate, not knowing the terror that lurks within.

"Looks like we're gonna have some action tonight!" Violet said

"You said it!" Tsuki agreed


As they rushed towards the man crying for help, an ominous figure appeared from the sky and came swooping down. It surrounded the helpless man and spun to the sky. The man vanished and only his fleshless skeletal body remained

"Holy crap, the hell was that!?" Shiroi said in shock

"Was...that the rogue phantom we're ..supposed to ...kill??" Violet gulped

"I guess so.." Naomi replied.


They ran towards a barn nearby and took shelter inside. Shiroi took out his gun, Violet grabbed her katana and Naomi taking out a feather from her pocket as it slowly turned into a golden sword with angelic markings on the blade.


"So...like...what are we gonna do?" Shiroi asked.

"I don't really know..." Violet said looking uncertain

"I think we should go out and kick that phantom's ass!" Grimm smiled



Everyone stared at Grimm


"What!? I just wanna kick some ass!" Grimm said

"Yeah but how we gonna do that?" Shiroi asked

"Easy, just let me get out there and do my job." Grimm replied as he walked out of the barn.

"Grimm! Wait!!!" Shiroi yelled



Grimm walked out of the barn and looked up. He saw the figure just standing in the sky

"You!" he said as he pointed at the figure with his scythe, "get down here and let me kick your ass so badly you'd wish you never went rogue!"


The figure vanished from the sky and reappeared next to Grimm. It slowly touched Grimm's shoulder.

"W..what the heck?" Grimm said, confused


"Grimm! Don't..move!" Tsuki yelled out

"Why...." Grimm looked around his body and suddenly he was fully wrapped by black wings. "What the hell?"

The figure wrapped itself around Grimm, constricting him and making him unable to move. It gently pushed it's long hair back and showed it's face. It was a woman. It was..a vampire phantom.


"Shiroi!! Violet!! Someone help me out here!" Grimm screamed.


"Shhh...don't strain yourself..." the woman whispered


"The hell you want with me?!"


"I'm just gonna bite you and slowly suck your blood out till your dead..." the woman smiled in an eerie way.


"I only have phantom blood! You wouldn't want my blood!"


"Shhh shhh...just..keep quiet..."


"Hey bitch! Let the guy go and take on someone your own size!" Tsuki yelled out


"Don't come any closer! I could easily just constrict your friend here and kill him instantly.." the vampire shouted


Her teeth started to sharpen and jutted outwards from her mouth. She slowly put her razor sharp teeth on Grimm's neck and they sunk in like butter.


"Fuck! I can't do anything!..Wait..." Shiroi took out his gun and pulled the top slide backwards, "PHANTOM INVOCATION"

A bullet quickly lodged on the vampire's shoulder

"You son of a bitch!" the vampire yelled

Just their luck. The sun slowly rose and bathed the village with soft sunlight. The vampire let Grimm go from her grip and quickly vanished into thin air.

Grimm looked paler than usual and fainted infront of them.

"Grimm! Grimm!!!" Shiroi ran over to Grimm who lost consciousness.

"Is she gone?" Naomi asked

"I guess she just vanished cause the sun was rising. I think we'll meet her soon, especially at night time..." Violet replied.



Grimm woke up inside a cottage with Shiroi by his bedside

"Dude, you worried me sick!" Shiroi said

"I..I passed out? Where am I?"

"You're in a cottage that we found abandoned somewhere closeby. I guess there aren't many people left in this village after that phantom showed up eh?" Shiroi laughed

"The phantom..where'd she go!?"

"She just vanished as the sun rose."

"Oh..." Grimm said.

"Hey..uhh..since when did you have wings? And how come your scythe looks smaller?" Shiroi asked


Grimm quickly stood up and looked at himself in the mirror. He had black/dark blue wings and his scythe looked different. It was more slim looking and the blade was smaller than usual. The handle wasn't spiked anymore but had a more wooden finish.

"I...look...COOL"

"You look weird! Even your hair isn't its usual colour anymore" Shiroi said

Grimm saw that his hair was grey

"I think I..evolved, or levelled up.." Grimm said to Shiroi

"Whatever happened, we better go and meet up with Violet and Naomi outside."


Both of them walked out of the cottage and joined up with the girls


"Whoa, you look..different Grimm" Tsuki said

"I know right. I look...awesome" Grimm laughed as he commented himself

"We should probably wait till night time to fight that vampire again." Naomi suggested

"I'm fine with that. I can't wait to kick her ass with my new look. Wahahahaahhaha" Grimm laughed again


As night time came, the vampire phantom quickly appeared in the night sky as they had anticipated


"Hey, remember me? I'm gonna really kick your ass this time. Wanna know why? Cause I look more awesome this time and I'm gonna beat you up with my sheer awesomeness" Grimm pointed at the vampire

"wow, kung fu panda reference much.." Tsuki rolled her eyes.


The vampire swooped down and tried to wrap Grimm again but failed as he blocked her wings with his new scythe.

"Damn, my new scythe seems more powerful than before." Grimm said

He slashed the air and a huge wave of black matter materialised and slashed the vampire and kicked her back.

"You should be thanking me you useless kid! I gave you those wings. Apparently you were too stupid to see the connection. That's the effect of not fully killing my victims, they gain wings. I only use it to recruit weaklings but I guess I accidentally let you slip from my grasp." the vampire yelled

The black wave was really strong but it barely damaged the vampire.

"Wow..you're either a really high experienced phantom...or my scythe became shittier..."

"You think I'm just some lowly rogue phantom guardian?! Ahahahhaha don't make me laugh.." the vampire said sarcastically

The two of them kept fighting in the sky. Her sharp talon on her wings tried to slash Grimm but he blocked it with his scythe. He returned the attack by making slashing her arm. It only gave her a bare scratch.

Violet summoned Tsuki and Naomi summoned her wings and bow as usual.

Both Tsuki and Naomi attacked the vampire but to no avail

Tsuki used her rain of shurikens but they just bounced off the vampire's skin.

"Angel's Premonition. First Strike!"

The arrow appeared infront of the vampire as she quickly grabbed it before it could pierce her.

"That was a dirty technique don't you think?" the vampire smiled

"How!? Noone has ever been able to stop my first strike!" Naomi said in horror.

"It looks like a job for me then," Wakizashi said

He quickly jumped out of Violet's body and grabbed his short black wakizashi and stabbed the vampire.

"Missed my heart, now you pay!"

The vampire let out a terrifying shriek that pierced the air. Everyone was kicked back by the sound waves produced from the shriek and flew back a few feet. Wounded and unable to move, noone stood a chance to counterattack the phantom

"It's game over for everyone huh?" she smiled and winked

A guy appeared next to her and patter her shoulder

"That's enough Lilith. I'm sure they've learnt their lesson."




"Phantom..Pulsar!"

A huge wave of fiery blue laser from the forest blasted outwards and hit both the man and his phantom

"The hell? Where'd that come from?!" the man said as he stood up and dusted off his shoulder.


"You might've wounded the others...but you barely did a scratch to me.."

A figure slowly walked out of the darkness holding a fiery blue blade on his left hand upside down just like a hunting knife and his right hand glowed with blue flames.

"Peekaboo, I see you!"
