Invasion of Tsunami

A cold wind blew across through the forests, then pale mists covered the sights, and nothing but the puddles splashing can be heard. Five squadrons of soldiers walked cautiously through the forest and their captains have sensed something that caused them to stop. They here fast splashing behind the squads and they were alert. The men pulled out their machine guns and went into a firing line. They took off their safeties and their sights down their rear. The captains took out their specialized weapons which were swords and spears. The leading captain, Zetsumei Metsuki, had his large, red Zanbantou that looks like a cleaver that curves like a crescent moon. It was known as the Kurenai Tsuki. He took his stance and he peered throughout the mist and it was a single person. This one was distinguishable due to him due to his uniform was the same as his military. He told the men to hold their fire and the man reached to the captain, tired and panting heavily.

“What’s the hurry here, soldier?”

“Sir, I’m here…to deliver this message.” He handed the message to Zetsumei.

As the captain read the message, he was wide-eyed and his hands burned the letter by using magick. He looked at his men and said, “Men, our capital, our home have been invaded by the Sentora army.” They gasp. “We are to abandon this mission. Head back to the harbor NOW!” The squadrons ran towards the harbor which was 3 miles from their current position.

Meanwhile at Tsunami (Capital city), the Nagasumi armies are struggling to hold off the Sentorian infantry since they brought out their armors into the mix. The Nagasumi armies were split as they were defending the mountains which were all the citizens evacuated to and the beaches to wait for reinforcements.

“Sir, when is the reinforcements are coming?” the soldier asked and dodging bullets at the same time.

“I don’t know. We haven’t received any communications from them,” the captain replied and rush towards a wall to take cover. “If they did get the message, it’ll be mostly likely 30 minutes to 45 minutes tops for them to arrive.” Then, he fired back at the Sentorians.

“Sir, I spotted two armors from the east and coming into our directions fast.”

“Men, head to the beaches to fortify defenses.”

Squadrons of men and women rushed towards the beaches and they set up machine gun nests to hold off the Sentorians until reinforcement comes.

(10 miles away from shore)

Seven assault battle carriers speeding across the ocean waters. The soldiers are waiting on the deck, preparing for combat. Zetsumei was intently watching the horizon to gaze for the sight of the capital.

‘Asuka, I hope that you are alright.’ Zetsumei touched the stone on his necklace tightly. ‘I made a promise to come back to you.’

At last, the soldiers can see the horizon. Explosions and gunfire littered their sights. Zetsumei ordered the ship captains to go full speed to the beaches. The ship engines went full blast and it echoes through the air.

Soldiers looked at the beaches looked behind them, and see seven blue ships coming towards them. They inwardly cheered that their reinforcements came. The sight of those ships rallied the soldiers’ morale and starts to push forward. Then the ships hit the shores and now the elites are back to help.

“Move it, men. Destroy the Sentorian army!” yelled one of the elite captains. A choir of ‘yes sir’ filled the air and they charged onto battle.

Zetsumei dash through the enemy ranks and he pulled out his big sword. He shouted out his attack, “Ryu Tenshi style: Gaia Impact” slamming his sword into the ground, making spikes of earth piercing the enemies. The surviving enemy forces were scared to move due to the slaughter of their comrades in their faces. Then one brave soul starts charging at the man before he gets cut down in half. The look on Zetsumei’s face was like the look of death himself, staring down to your soul. The remaining enemy retreated to save their hides but Zetsumei have no mercy for the moment and starts charging up his sword. “Ryu Tenshi style: Frozen Dragon Burst.” A giant ice dragon appeared as Zetsumei slashed through air and the dragon races towards the running targets. As the dragon impacted, the enemies were frozen, then, they shattered into oblivion.

“Nice going there,” a cloaked figure appeared in front of the shattered remains , “ you might of gotten easy by going towards the grunts” the figure took off the hood and it appears to be a red-head fellow , “ but I’m no slouch as I am Captain Hitori Hosenka of the Sentora army and I’m going to be your executioner.” He pulled out his halberd and lunging towards Zetsumei.

Zetsumei blocked the attack and he used his free hand to cast a spell. “Lightning.” A blot of thunder came from the hand and hits his target but it looks like it wasn’t effective.

His opponent laughed at his endeavor. “You thought that weak spell was effective. I’ll show you a spell.” “Rain of fire.” Flames came down from the sky, attacking Zetsumei but he dodges every single one until he clashed with the halberd once again.

‘Looks like I have to use my sword techniques on him.’ “Ryu Tenshi style: Crimson Flash.” A red light came from the blade, then, he swung his blade in mid-air to make a red beam blasting towards Hitori. Hitori took up into a defensive stance and shouted, “Kyutaka style: Iron Wall.” A huge slab of metal came from the ground and it blocked the attack. The beam attack dissipated and the metal wall retracted back into the earth.

“You are a worthy adversary.” Zetsumei walked towards his enemy. “If it were different circumstances, I would love to spar with you.”

“I would say the same thing but too bad that this is it.” A huge force of soldiers appeared behind him, three tanks and 300 men. “This will be your end and it was good knowing you, Crimson Moon of Tsunami.” The Sentorians were about to unleash their attacks on the lone captain but he was saved by Nagasumi forces that came from the mountains. He saw his fiancée, Asuka Tsuki, leading the attack.

“Come men, destroy the infidels,” Asuka yelled and ran next to her lover. “Are you alright?”

“Yes, I’m alright Moon flower.” She blushed at her nickname but it wasn’t the time for this moment. “Asuka, I need your help to take down Hitori.” She nodded and pulled out her twin pistols, Judgment and Punishment.

“Okama Tsuki style: Silver Blast.” Asuka pointed her pistols at Hitori and two silver blasts came from the barrels. Hitori dodges it but he landed in Zetsumei’s killing zone.

“Ryu Tenshi style: Decapitation.” Zetsumei cut through Hitori’s neck, letting his head rolled down the road.

The Sentorian army looked at their captain’s decapitated head at shock and they retreated. The Nagasumi army started to do clean up on remaining Sentorian military. After the invasion, civilians went back to their properties and return to their daily lives. Zetsumei and Asuka reported to the leader of Tsunami of the invasion. Later on, they celebrated their victory which involves them in their bedroom.

(10 years later)

A 10 year old girl with black spiky, long hair ran towards her parents. “Momma, papa.”

“What is it dear?” the mother asked.

“I just got accepted into the academy.”

The father came out with his red sword in hand, “That’s great news honey. Are you going to be like your mom and I.”

She nodded her head. “Of course, besides I want to be a master marksman just like my friend, Shika.”

“Don’t worry dear.” The mother said. “Besides you’re not Sasume Tsuki Metsuki for nothing aren’t you?”

“No, I’m not.”
