The strongest weapon is your heart.
'Drip, drip, sploosh' was the sound that Shiro heard, it was his own blood as it splashed on the dirt ground, Shiro could see infront of him a giant pillar of shining light, it was night but the sky was lit up due to the pillar of light. Shiro's enemy stepped out of it, their power had sky-rocketed from before which was already powerful. Leaning on his sword, staring down at the ground, panting heavily, armor shattered, and injured badly, he felt his vision going blurry. He looked up to the enemy infront of him...
"Give up, and die already. You can't hope to win." Said the Dark One, as this enemy was called. He seemed completely uninjured...
"...." Shiro was completely silent, than he smirked. Even though he was on the brink of death, he figured he couldn't take much more, and that his sword was nearly to the brink of shattering...But...Shiro began to stand up straight...He couldn't give up, not when he had someone to protect... "No." Whispered Shiro silently...
"What was that...?" Said the Dark One taking a step closer to hear what Shiro had said...
"I said 'no'...!" Shiro stood up fully, picking up his sword and taking his stance he stared at the Dark One with a determined look on his face. He had absolutely no intention of giving up...
"You'll die if you continue." The Dark One picked up their Masamune.
"If I die...Than thats that, nothing stands in your way and I'll have failed...But" Shiro took a step forward. "thats not gonna happen!" Said Shiro in a louder tone of voice as he charged forward towards the Dark One. The Dark One laughed darkly at Shiro's feeble attempt and than thrust his sword forward, Shiro sidestepped but the sword cut over his shoulder as more of his blood dripped on the floor. Once Shiro had gotten closer he slashed, the Dark One stepped back uncaringly avoiding Shiro's blade completely. But Shiro had than used Magnum Break as the enemy was caught completely off guard as he was hit fully and skidded on his knee backwards about 5 ft. There was a smoke screen from the impact, and Shiro burst out of the smoke screen jumping towards the enemy and than slashed downwards. The enemy parried Shiro's sword and than swung as Shiro tumbled backwards along the ground. The enemy charged towards him, but as soon as the enemy got close enough, Shiro regained his footing and than dodge rolled to the enemies left and than slashed through their left side completely shattering their armor. Shiro turned around to face the enemy who was 5 ft. away staring down at their injury...
'What made him stronger?' Thought the Dark One as he stared at Shiro. Shiro charged forward...
"Foolish boy!" The Dark One's sword glowed a shadow color and than they charged towards Shiro and than slashed at him multiple times and than stabbed him through the chest and lifted him in the air, and than tossed him aside like a rag doll...
Shiro lay there motionless. Even with the power he has, he can't do it. He was begining to lose hope of him winning against this enemy, all would be lost...
Shiro was lieing down in a completely light area, a bright light was shining around his body. He was lieing down in someone's lap. He looked up... "Orina...?" Said Shiro weakly.
"Whats wrong Shiro? Are you going to give up?"
"...He's just...too strong..."
She pat Shiro's head... "C,mon Shiro, that doesn't sound like you at all." She took Shiro's hands that were clasped around the hilt of his sword... "Remember what you said a long time ago?"
"...How can I forget? That I would always protect you, no matter what happens if you were ever in need that I would protect you even if that meant making an enemy of the entire world."
She moved closer to Shiro's face... "And those words...Have kept me going all this time." She kissed Shiro gently...
Shiro closed his eyes, and than Orina pulled back... "Shiro...I love you...I've always loved you."
"...." Shiro was silent. He looked up to Orina. And than nodded... "I know...Your right. Forget what I said, he's not stronger than me. To protect Orina, to protect the one I love...No one is stronger than me!" Said Shiro now standing on his feet. He looked down to Orina and than smiled... "Alright, I'll see you back at the village when I'm done winning this battle." Said Shiro. Orina nodded and held Shiro's hand...Giving him the strength he needed to fight on. A bright light surrounded Shiro as he was returned to reality...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHn0wj5SVlUShiro stood up, he had a determined look on his face. No matter how many times Shiro was hit he still got back up...But why...? Unable to hold in his wondering the Dark One asked: "Your stronger than you were a few moments ago, how is this possible. By my calculations you shouldn't even be standing right now. Why is it you defy my will?! Why can you still stand when everyone else has fallen?!"
"......" Shiro was silent, he smirked.
"Answer me!" Demanded the Dark One.
Shiro took a step forward... "You don't get it do you...? The power I have does not come from my physical strength...But the power of my heart. And the will of all those I have come in contact over my journey." Shiro looked back to the forests surrounding the area, beyond those forests were people who he had known in his journey...and...Orina...He looked down at his pendant that Shiro was given by her. And clutched it in his hand. "You may be able to break every bone in my body, cut me thousands of times, and try to harm my friends, but there is one thing you can't get to. And thats our hears, thats the part you can't break..." Said Shiro...
"What good can such a pathetic thing do for you...? Why don't you just let me destroy everything now?"
"...Never..." Shiro's sword started to glow. "Can't you feel it? Everyone is crying out for your defeat."
The enemy gritted their teeth, they were angered by Shiro's defiance. "Damn you Shiro!" They blasted 6 beams at Shiro. Shiro stared up at them and than parried with the flat side of his sword. "The girl I love is waiting for me, and I'm not gonna let her down! If I die than that'll make her sad, and I can't ever let her cry or be alone ever again! We're not scared of you anymore!" Shouted out Shiro, the enemy gathered every inch of their power. And than blasted a beam at Shiro, Shiro deflected the beam with his shield as it shattered, Shiro took this momentary oppurtunity that the enemy was off guard and charged towards them. "Holy...Cross!" Said Shiro! As he slashed through the enemy in a cross-like formation two red lines appeared on the enemies body; one going from the head to the waist and one from arm to arm... "And now...To make sure you don't get back up! Grand Cross!" Said Shiro as he jumped towards the enemy in the air and than thrust his sword through their chest, a giant cross appeared on the enemy and engulfed the enemy in it's holy light, all that was left was the black Masamune as it disintigrated. Shiro landed, he panted heavily and than sighed in relief seeing that it was finally over. He took his sword and placed it in the scabbard. He looked over his shoulder to the forests, he saw his friends comming out of the forests waving to him and congratulating him. He looked to Orina among them who had ran ahead of the group. Although Shiro was seperated from the others by a crevice around the area infront of the forest and the land was levitated. Orina stopped at the edge staring down at Shiro. Shiro ran to the edge looking up at where Orina was... "Orina, stay there. I'll come to you." Said Shiro. Orina shook her head...
"No, this time I'll come to you." Orina ran and jumped over the edge. Shiro thought she wouldn't make it but amazingly she did and ended up landing in Shiro's arms and resting her head on his chest... "Shiro...I'm glad. I knew you would win."
Shiro stroked Orina's hair... "...Like I would lose to an enemy like that...? No way, I'd never lose." Said Shiro. Orina kissed his cheek and than smiled...
"Okay, but...how are we gonna get back up?" Asked Shiro. Orina bonked herself on the head for not thinking things through...
"Ah, forget it...I'll jump up." Said Shiro confidently. "Hang on." Shiro placed Orina on his back and than ran to the edge and jumped up but didn't make, he thought he would fall but his friends reached out their hands and grabbed his. "What did you think we would let you two fall...?"
"That was an awesome battle lord Shiro."
"I wasn't impressed. I thought you would."
"Thats cold Kai." Said Shiro...
"Well thats Kai for you, blood cells as cold as ice-cubes."
"Hey guys, as fun as this has been complimenting me would you mind...PULLING US UP ALREADY!!!" Shiro and Orina were pulled up and than regained footing. Shiro looked around to all the great friends he had made. He couldn't had done it without them. Shiro looked to his left while being held up by Orina...The sun was now rising. The dawning of a new future was ahead of them...
"So, Shiro any of your last minute speech things...?" Asked Hameru...
"It wouldn't be the same without them Lord Shiro." Said Henrietta.
Shiro blinked and than thought for a moment of something to say... "Well...Where one story ends, another begins? I guess this is just another chapter in our lives and the dawning of a new future." Said Shiro...
"Thats the Shiro I know and love." Said Orina. The 5 of them watched the sky light up, and as Shiro said...The dawning of a new future in the chapter of their lives...
