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!"
