The Aura Guild Traitor.

Chapter 3.

Olivine's fall, Alister Yakari's dark secret.

Mikan castle- Throne room.

King Akio had stood frozen in place, shocked to what was infront of him. His best friend Alister Yakari was facing him infront of his own throne. His eyes moving round at the strange knights that had circled him upon entering. Their purple glowing eyes trained on him with weapons that were either in hand or fixed on instead of a lower arm, some having strange looking weapons.

"What do you think of my creations, Akio?" Hearing Alister's question, made the king give a glare to the man that he thought was his friend. "What do I think? More like what in the name of aura are they?"

With a small smile Alister had moved his gaze from one to the next, giving his answer. "They are mere obedient soldiers, that I have spent my time creating." A shake of Akio's head and the king clenched one of his fists. "To do what exactly?"

With eyes half lidded as the mage grew tired of repeating himself for the second time. "I had already told you, majesty. To bring destruction to the city you fought to protect through peaceful talks from time after time like your father did. Was that any better?"

It only increased the rage boiling inside of him. Summoning the aura that had engulfed his fist, it soon burned like a flame. "I will not allow that at all!" Charging forth with a yell of rage at the calmed man.

...

Mikan castle.

Cynthia had clashed with one of the blades of the invaders, the blade itself being connected to the limb of her opponent. Gritting her teeth at it, pushing it back followed by a swing that had cut a part of its arm, but no blood had come out of it.

Instead after it had stumbled, it regained its footing and the injury had immediately healed and fixed with a purple glow.

It had surprised the captain after witnessing it. A turn of her head in time to parry from an arm wielding sword, now having two to deal with.

Archers from the top of the wall had released their arrows onto their targets exposed necks and legs. But they proved useless as they were easily pulled out and tossed aside as the same thing had happened to the one that Cynthia had struck.

Whilst surprised they payed no attention to the spherical aura projectiles that shot at them, allowing them to be easy targets as they were blown up with a yell. The ones that had launched them were just two, having their lower right arms in the form of easy wielding cannons that launch aura as what was witnessed.

All soldiers that were within the castle, including those that were off duty were mobilized to fight. With no signs of prevailing. The enemy maybe harmed like humans, but they possess the the skill to heal from any wound, except when a limb is removed. But they had still kept going, even if they had lost a leg or both arms, as if they were the un-dead.

...

Asagi city.

A helmet less Aura knight, revealing to be a short haired blond woman, had assisted a little girl to her mother before rushing back into battle along with her comrades. Being the same invaders as the ones that were attacking the castle, possessing the same as them in weapons and healing.

The buildings around them were burning with debris about certain parts, including motionless bodies, none of them being the unknowns.

...

Even Nezrin, Tobai and the cloaked man had entered the assault.

Firing his stoned fist studs at the soldiers that had come to face him. Blocking a couple of swords with both of them, pushing them back, he slams his fist into one then the other, sending them flying.

Nezrin had a grin on his face as he lets loose a rain of aura bullets that had pierced the normal knights armor, even letting out a blaze shot on some of the buildings.

Still wearing his cloak the last member had demonstrated his skill and power, in the manipulative use of fire and wind. Unsure of if he wields a weapon of his own. With his Aura eyes active, the un-named man claps his hands together, allowing the aura to surge through. When parting a miniature tornado of both wind and fire had formed.

With one more clap he had shot both hands forward and sent a strong blast that not only destroyed a building or two, but also a few soldiers ended up incinerated for being in the way.

It goe's to show that tonight may have indeed marked the end for the once peaceful city, cause it may only just begun.

...

Mikan castle- Tower dungeon.

After Ash had told them about the castle being attacked, the four of them were soon met by a number of the unknowns that had already killed to get their way through to where they were now.

The two men were holding them back as best they could, but the demonic soldiers only pushed forward. Ash looked calm yet curious about these creatures, while Jasmine who stood behind him a little frightened at the intruders.

Pushing the one he had clashed with into some of the others, the slash wound he had given earlier was immediately fixed up. And continued forward along with the ones behind it.

Shocked at the fast healing affect it had, he along with his partner had stepped back in a guard stance.

"Step back."

Both had looked back at the boy perplexed at what he just said. But their answer came when his eyes had glowed and hands had clapped with an echoing sound, watching the hands spark with aura.

Doing as he had said, Ash placed both of them to the wall on his left. Doing so a number of stoned spikes had shot out, impaling a great deal of them to the opposite wall. The weird thing about it was that there was no blood at all, and they were struggling to break free from the looks of it.

Shocking the three while Ash had bravely looked a little closer for an inspection, staring into one pair of eyes. Moving away as it tried to snap at him. "Hand me your sword." Holding his hand out without turning.

Giving the other a glance of unsureness about this, they looked at the princess behind them. Seeing both wanting her decision on this, from the looks of it they didn't have much time. So she gave a slow nod.

The one on the right handed him the sword, then watched what he was doing. Keeping his eye on one of them, feeling the weight of the weapon as he grasped it. Ash had given the strange knight a second look before thrusting the blade through the eye, feeling it hit something and feeling it had shattered something.

The purple glow now gone and the knight had became limp. "As I thought." He muttered, removing the sword, the three behind him surprised at this.

Handing the weapon back while explaining to them. "I struck the body but left the head intact. Something is inside there thats making the whole body work." Hearing a yell they had looked behind the trapped bunch to see others were climbing on over their comrades, making their way over.

"Time to go." Ash had said at the sight of them, the others having nothing to argue. Except that they were blocking the only way out. Ash had made his way to the metal door to clap his hands along with the glow of his eyes, placing them on the door, the aura had surged into and when pulled back with one hand he created a metal bo staff.

Not strong or aura usable but it was all he got to work with besides stone. Seeing as they were getting closer, they had no choice but to head up.

Being a little bit more high thankful for that, and seeing a few of the rooms opened up gave Ash a hiding spot idea. "In here!" Entering and closing the door after the other three were inside, this room had looked exactly like the room Ash was in. And like all prison cells, there was no way out.

"Any other ideas in that head of yours?" One had asked glancing out of the hole to see if any of the enemy knights had passed.

It didn't seem he was listening though, looking round the room to see if he had anything to work with. Making his way to the wall, placing his newly acquired staff aside so he would be able to clap his hands once again with glowing eyes.

Placing them on the wall a light had shown in a wide circle, creating a big enough hole. Looking down to see that they would obviously be killed if they would jump and there wasn't any place close to jump to due to the guards with their armor.

Clapping once again with a surge of aura, Ash had placed them on the edge of the outer wall. Creating a stone platform, planning on using it as a way down.

"Taken cared of, get on." Motioning them to get on with the soldiers checking to see if it was safe first. About to tell the princess that it was safe to get on. Till the next thing they knew, they were already descending, without the other two.

Ignoring what they were saying about the princess, he just sends them down without a second of bringing it back up. "The more people on that the slower it might have been. So it might as well be two by two." Saying to Jasmine who was also looking over the edge. Being a bit shaky at how high they were, not saying a thing in response.

The banging on the door was a good or bad signal in telling them that they were found. Taking the staff in one hand, Ash had no time to send it back up. So taking the staff in hand, then, in surprise with Jasmine, wrapped an arm around her waist.

"What are you planning?" Not seeing anything reasonable way of getting down. But he kept silent and closed his eyes, knowing that the nearest building was further away. Focusing his aura into his feet till they were glowing, he was about to move when he had a thought and eyed the staff. If aura was transferred into a weapon that was not made of aura intaking material, what would happen?

So in doing so the weapon began to glow but bolts of aura began to resonate uncontrollably. Wasting no time, Ash had tossed it close to the bashing door, before picking up the princess into his arms with a small shriek from her.

Readying himself by moving back a bit, just as the door had collapsed with a loud thud. Ash had already made a run, when to the edge, not only did he launch himself but as the creatures entered. The staff gave off one last jolt before the whole room exploded along with as many as those things that were caught in the blast.

Ignoring the screaming and slight increased hold on him from the girl. Ash couldn't get into one of the non big enough windows, so he used one hand to grab a ledge that was close. Finding it tricky with the added weight and with one hand. "Place your arms around my neck!" He said while trying to keep his hold. Doing as she was told, placing them round him in a tight enough hold. She could feel him struggling to move his hands, probably to do what he did before.

Managing in succeeding to use his Aura alchemy to have the ledge he had a grip on to lower like a lift, as best it could to the ground.

The guards below watched this happening, fearing for the princess' safety by allowing her life to be in the prisoners hands. As they watch on, they did not pay attention to the creatures that had spotted them, until one of them lets out a roar. Readying their weapons after seeing that 10 of them were coming for them, each one wielding a metal spiked club or a sword. Half of them had their free hand, or what was supposed to be a hand, fashioned into a three barreled bladed launcher.

Staring down and noticing the trouble they were in, Ash had glared as best he could and thought that the length they have reached was good enough. "Hold on." Bracing himself before pushing off the now halted ledge, and having them both fall the rest of the way.

As Jasmine closes her eyes tight, Ash had his glowing. Bringing his right arm back as the other had wrapped around the girl. "Aura wind style: Call of the whirlwind!" Shooting forward to summon a powerful gust of wind to make their landing a lot more safer.

Having it impact on two of the enemy knights, having them collapse face down. Successfully landing on their feet, Ash could see one of the guards pushing back a sword wielder and the avoiding getting hit by a club.

Staring down at the two slowly getting up, he picked up a discarded sword from the enemy. Simply raising it and without hesitation, beheaded one, followed by the other after the first had slumped back down.

Jasmine only stared round in shock and disbelief at the small fires that were made, part of the walls that were damaged or destroyed. Not paying attention to the fighting that was still on. Or to the sword knight that had came from behind, ready to end her life.

Hearing a clanging sound made her snap out of it and look behind to see Ash was holding the creature back with the taken sword. Glaring at the knight, he pushed it back after a boot to its gut. Thrusting it through its torso to have it to go even further, not being done. Ash had leaped onto the blade and brought both arms cupped over his head, calling forth a sphere of aura.

Bringing it down onto its skull head, having the damage done with an explosion, leaving behind another motionless minion for whoever was responsible. Taking out his newly acquired sword, Ash turned to Jasmine with a scowl. "There isn't time to survey your surroundings at this time, so think about it later when and if your safe." Walking passed to go and assist the two men.

Leaving the princess to look down depressed at the so far outcome of this nightmare that she had failed to wake from.

...

Mikan castle- Throne room.

The fight between Akio and Alister could have gone better, having the king being sent flying onto his back. The knights ordered not to make a move and just stood fair enough away to give the two of them room.

His robes being slightly ripped and Alister's armour was a bit dented, other than that both had little scrapes and cuts here and there, and that they were still fit to fight.

Getting to his feet with a death glare to the man that had stood with an emotionless look. "Why? I still don't understand, why would you want to destroy the very place that had kindly taken you in!" Watching as his look had changed into a small smirk.

"Do you remember the first time we met?" Was all that he had asked, making Akio confused at the question, seeing as it was a long time ago. Though it was still in there.

FLASHBACK- Akio and Alister's meeting.

It was the time when Akio was only 17 years old, the time when parts of the region of Johto were in danger from a region that had long since vanished after they had lost the war. Being lost for about 5 years, no trace was ever found since the mysterious fog had appeared. And whomever went into the fog, tales have been told of the people that went in never came back.

Akio was venturing through the forest with his father, wearing slightly less armour than a normal knight, showing that he was a knight in training, maybe even one of an Aura knight as he had no weapons on him. Nor a helmet, but on his lonely right spaulder was the symbol of the Aura using knights. Wearing brown leather gloves and silver light weighted metal greaves and vambraces, same material cuirass. Underneath he had on fitting clothing that had short sleeves for his shirt and a belt that held an item satchel on the back left.

His father was like him when he was older, but without the beard, wearing civilian like clothing for horse riding, brown riding boots with protective gaiters, gray pants that had a belt, blue three cross tied shirt, with same colored riding gloves. But wearing the kings crown on his head. It was like looking into a mirror of the future at this man.

"I'm glad to hear that your training is going well, Akio." The man said proudly to him, whilst his eyes were on what was infront of him. Akio doing the same, gave an unknowing smile to this. "Thank you father." Giving in an added nod.

When it came to kings and queens, some would have sons and daughters that would need to try their best at whatever they could do to make them proud or even impress them. And Akio's father was one of them.

Traveling in the one of the now safe forests of Olivine, where the Fiends were nowhere about for some reason. They were coming to the end, when they had seen something, or rather someone up ahead.

Staggering in his steps while clutching his right arm, wearing civilian clothing from the looks of it that was ripped and torn, his hair being messed up, covered in an equal conditioned hood less cloak that covered his injured arm. Having being injured with blood coming out from some of his wounds.

Getting as close as they could with their horses, the both of them got off to check on him. Akio was in time to catch the injured person as he had collapsed. Checking his pulse to find that he was indeed still alive.

"Father, I can do what I can but he needs a healer!" He said in a raised voice, while checking the mans wounds that seemed a couple of years older than him. Agreeing with his son, the king had gotten on a knee to uncover the mans right arm to see it to be completely scarred as if it were doused in flames, though it seemed to be something else, with the way the king was narrowing his eyes.

Despite that though after doing what he could do to patch him up. The two of them brought the young man back to the castle where the healers did their job and brought the stranger back to almost full health. For some reason the damage on his arm wasn't responding to the treatment even though it still worked, but it did heal just a little.

Whatever happened though seemed to have made a mess of his mind, leaving him in bed with an empty look in his eyes. Akio was the one assigned to ask him questions, gaining no reliable answers to what had happened to him, or if someplace was attacked to make him into the condition that he was found in.

Thus had the prince continue visiting except during his training as an Aura knight. As it kept going the stranger had gotten slowly better to give his name, Alister Yakari. But for some reason as he is told what had happened, he would as if go into unexpected pain as if a shock.

So it would have to be stopped in asking that question, with the king being generous to allow him to stay. Eventually 2 years had gone and Alister had still seemed to be a stranger to the city. Having met Akio's friends and girlfriend Aimi that took him under their wing from the day he had left the medical room.

After showing signs of excellent Aura usage, Akio had helped enroll him into the Aura academy where he seemed to have excelled in all his lessons, being known as a prodigy. Even making it into the Aura knight academy the day before Akio had graduated.

Surprising them all on what he could do they had shown their support none the less. But Akio though couldn't help but think about his father when telling him about Alister and the results that came from him. It was as if he knew something that he didn't.

END OF FLASHBACK.

'Did he suspect something.' Were Akio's thoughts, as his fathers reaction of Alister from the past were probably becoming clear. Not paying attention to said thought up person, who was giving a uncaring stare.

Seeing that the current king was deep in thought proved that he was indeed remembering, making him think if he perhaps figured out something. "Alister." Hearing him speak in a low tone, but loud enough for him to hear. Keeping himself silent even though Akio knew he was listening. "The day when I asked you about what happened after me and my father had found you... You remember it all don't you? If it had something to do with tonight."

Everything in the room was stone cold silent as the man he thought to be his friend gave him his honest answer, without any hesitation. "I never forgot in the first place. All that pain I was in while remembering was all planned, leading to this." Causing the king to frown as he shot his head up to glare into his calm eyes.

"Then tell me, Alister Yakari! Who in the eternal pits of hell are you?" Yelling out his question, that was given a shocking answer. "I am who I am, Alister Yakari... of the Lost region." Making Akio's eyes widen in disbelief at this news.

That wasn't all. Spreading his arms to his dark knights in the room, a smirk now adorned his face. "And these king Akio, are the ones that were once lost themselves. So allow me to introduce to you the creation I have fought to create. Empty shells like machines, but the tamed souls of a humans, unable to feel pain, nor sickness, not even guilt or hesitation. I present to you, Akio, the ultimate soldiers thanks to the people of my region."

His fists tighten listening to this not wanting to believe him, but is trialled by himself in knowing what he was hinting at. "Alister... These knights, are they, you didn't..." Not finding the right words in saying it. So Alister was the one to say it for him. "They are indeed. Allow me to introduce to you, to the people, of the Lost Region!"

...

On the outside Ash and the guards were fairing well against the knights they had come across yet again. But they couldn't keep it up forever, despite knowing that causing extensive damage to inside the head would make them fall when all else had failed.

Cutting off his opponents head before it could fire its Aura cannon attached arm. Ash turns to see that his 'allies' were in a protective form to keep the frightened princess safe, then behind him to see a few more about to join in. One wielding a bladed staff, the second having both its arm in the form of launchers that could fire multiple blades and the last having a mechanical left claw.

With numbers slowly increased by 15 now. Ash had summoned his Aura to surround his body, opening his eyes after becoming fully blue, then, he was gone at an impeccable speed.

As one of the two held back a knight, a second had risen it's broad axe ready to kill. Until a slicing sound was heard from behind, getting it to look back and see nothing but what looked to be something of a person made of aura completely dissolving into the particles of what it was made from.

Another slice and the knights head was driven off of its body. That wasn't the only one, more images soon appeared of Ash made of Aura. Each one performing a move with the sword he used, taking the damage directly, from getting their attention, to severing the head or piercing either one of the eyes. Taking down 7 seven of them, leaving everyone to now watch as he takes them all down, including the three that had came in. Leaving the images to fade away as the first one did.

In absolute shock as the three watch him appear infront of them from whatever Aura move he had performed, seeing that it made him a little exhausted. Jasmine stood in admiration, asking herself to whom this person was that could use such an attack and keep himself standing on his feet after using that much aura.

It didn't take long for him to gain his breath back, not having to use that move in quite a while. With one last exhale, he hoisted the sword onto his shoulder. Saying to the people behind him without turning. "Get out of here, its obviously a losing fight." Beginning to make his way, in the opposite direction.

"Wait! Where are you going?" One of them had close to yelled out to him, gaining no suitable response except for one. "For my things that you took from me." Watching this, the princess wasn't going to just leave him. Putting on a brave face, she made her way past the two and began to follow when the other guard placed a hand to her shoulder.

"Princess, we should listen and leave. We have to get you to safety." But Jasmine shook off his hand, spinning round with a glare to them both. "That person risked his own life to help us when he could have left. He doesn't know where the confiscation vault is, or how to unlock it, so I'm going to help!" Before storming off after him.

The two of them lets out a sigh, knowing that she was right. So with weapons ready they followed behind.

...

Mikan castle- Throne room.

He couldn't believe in what he had heard. These knights that were invading his kingdom, are or were, in fact people that had vanished along with the entire region that had waged war upon parts of Johto long ago.

"I don't, I don't understand..." His mind not thinking straight about this, so why not ask the monster behind it all. Merely flexing his free hand as if who he was talking to was of no importance. "Don't understand what? How I betrayed you and the people of this pathetic city that showed nothing but kindness to me. Or is it because of what had happened to these 'poor souls'."

Deciding to remain quiet to listen to what he has to say, that didn't mean he could hold back the scowl he was already giving.

"In my region, my home. I was more than you think, I may have been smart enough to pass both academies. But what you don't know is my intellect is far more superior than you think, and then some." Fixing Akio with a stern look for this next part. "To tell you the actual truth about me though, is that there is something more sinister about me that you really ought to know..."

Stopping himself to not only impale his staff into the floor, but clutch onto his claw wielding arm. Staring at the limb as it seemed to be moving on the inside of Alister's sleeve, to his surprise. With a grin he shot his arm high, and not only did his sleeve explode to pieces, but his gauntlet as well both in a purple light.

Uncovering his eyes that went wide at the sight at what he was looking at. Standing there as if escaped the bowls of the Underworld was indeed Alister. But his arm, the one that was supposed to be scarred for life... It was literally inhuman.

It had purple skin and muscled with three aura glowing lines round the muscle on the upper part, his clawed hand being sharp and white on the fingers. In the palm of his hand opening up was revealed to be a blood red demonic eye with a slitted pupil. Including small spiked ridges on the side of the arm going half way.

He was mainly speechless at the sight, just what was this man. Human, a demon, or both. "I am, or was, the ultimate weapon for my home to bring victory for the war despite age. Now, I am the one that will rule all as the emperor of all regions. Starting with the kingdom, who's king had taken the life of my own father's! So shall I take yours as I did your fathers. For my father, the past king Galahein Yakari! I am Alister Yakari, of the Lost region!"

The eye embedded in his hand unleashing a little power with a purple lighted glow, along with his chest combined. With Akio looking on with a further unbelieved state.

End of chapter 3.

How do you like that outcome? Didn't see that coming did you. More to come as it is only getting started, review and Till then!
