In the subway, Enchantress was present standing before the corpse of Wraith.
"Arrghh, this fool got killed by the train I summoned to help him take out the spy."
She held a white hair above her hand using magic as she looked at it closely.
"This feels so oddly familiar."
After a while she disappeared.
***
Meanwhile Azath was flying back to Jason's house to inform him of what he newly learnt.
WHOOSHHHHHH!!!
Something zoomed passed him making him topple on air.
After he got his balance, he recognised a familiar presence and followed whatever passes him.
"Pretty fast."
Azath flew as fast as possible, until he was finally catching up to whoever or whatever.
Then—
"Sister!!!"
He called out as he spotted her recognising it was his sister Asuna.
She refusing to slow down continued zooming off while still pursued.
"Asuna!!"
She then finally stopped on air and before Azath knew it, she blasted him with a fake beam sending crashing down to the ground.
Azath got on his feet to see Asuna already down meeting him but levitating in the air.
"Brother."
"Sister…
"It's good to finally see you big sis, after a long time."
"I know, right! Hahahaha! So you can finish what you started, destroying your creation right?!"
Landing on the ground, Asuna spread out her arms, head facing the sky.
"Wait hold on. Not at all, don't take it that way. Let's talk things out."
Azath walking closer to her slowly.
"No time for that kiddo. You lost the opportunity to dialogue when you stood against me many years ago."
Forming blades with magic, Asuna moved with great speed towards Azath.
She attacked him non stop while he dodged as much as possible.
Azath then hardened his skin and began deflecting and breaking Asuna's blades which she too was renewing them.
Azath then kicked her legs making her fall, but she sliced him in the chest before pushing herself upwards.
But, Azath kicked her away.
She then sent beams and blades Azath, who flipped, spinned, and manoeuvred dodging them.
Azath turned to a white wolf, ran dodging the beams and blades before leaping up into the air above Asuna.
He turned back to a human and with a great force he was about to punch her, but she she disappeared and he hit the ground.
"Arrrggghhh!"
Azath gave out as he burnt and blasted away by a beam of energy from Asuna.
He collided with a wall cracking it, before he could move boulders and different masses suddenly came with great force colliding, hitting, and smashing him.
Azath bleed, having possible internal injuries.
That wasn't the end, blades then stabbed him through his palms, chest, and legs pinning him on the wall.
He coughed out blood together with blood that spilled out of him.
"Let's take things somewhere spacious."
Asuna walked up to him, dispersing the blades that pinned Azath, and then she took to the skies lifting Azath along with her using magic.
Levitating on air, over a thousand feet, Asuna and Azath.
"All these is my small big sis. If only I never brought that map home and led you guys to the orbs."
Tears flowed out of Azath eyes as he locked eyes with Asuna.
"You grew up so fast, bigger than the last time we met kiddo… Goodbye kiddo, but I am no longer the sister you grew up with, things change, life changes, and people change… I'm sorry it had to end this way."
Two blades suddenly drove through Azath's chest making blood flow out of him.
Then—
Asuna let go of Azath who fell unconscious, so he dropped from that height.
"See you again on the other side."
Asuna then disappeared into thin air while Azath fell to his death.
BURST!!!
From a nearby building, Gale bursting out diving down towards Azath who was dropping to his death.
"Come on!"
Gale locked his legs together, arms to his side as he dived down with great speed towards Azath.
"Got him!"
Gale caught Azath's hands and then he moved upwards away from the ground and into the sky.
TheNextDay
InAHospitalWard
Jason sat beside the bed on which Azath laid.
"Aaaaahhhhhh!!"
Azath screaming in pain and shock suddenly woke up before sitting up.
"What happened?"
Looking to Jason who was astonished.
"Hmm what happened, let me think… You almost fucking died!!!"
Jason stood up from the sit feeling pissed.
"Wait what? Seriously?"
"Nahh I'm kidding you. You dumb fuck!"
"Hey, don't yell at me."
Jason stood still for a while processing this before he turned around and gave Azath a deadly side eye.
"I have to look for my sister."
And that blew it.
"Arrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!!!"
Jason drawing out his gun, walked up to Azath, placed it on his head and cocked the gun.
"Woaw, detective Jordan take it easy. Please don't kill me."
"Oh I thought you wanted to die. You wanna look for your sister who almost successfully killed you yesterday? Are you stupid or something?"
"I don't know how to respond to that sir."
Jason then withdrew moving back and scoffed.
"Fucking kids these days…
Tapping on his earpiece in the left ear—
"Jade bring the jet."
"Jet??"
Azath asked whipping his head towards Jason wearing a face of shock and surprise.
"Get the fuck up and let's go."
Jason grabbed Azath by the clothe he wore making him stand. He gave Azath fresh clothes to wear before signing him out of the hospital and making their way to the roof.
Jade's jet then descended and they got in before it flew away.
InTheStrixxNest
"Woaw! This place is fire!"
Azath gave out as he walked around the place checking it out.
"Azath Saturou brother of Asuna Saturou aka Enchantress and right hand to Phantom."
Jade spoke out as a holographic screen came up large in the middle of the spot they all stood.
"For years years your sister has been by the side of Phantom. Bringing disorder to this state and assisting him in commanding their criminal organisation."
"Wow, this is truly insane."
"Tell me Azath, how were you able to survive so many wounds for that long before we got you to a hospital? Do you possess powers?"
Jason asked as he walked up to Azath.
"Well technically yes. Magic bases powers to be exact—
Narrating the story of his past, the map of the kamikaze, each of them absorbing a orb which granted them powers.
"I have the ability to use any feature of any animal, then an extra I can transform into a white tiger. My brother and sister turned after mastering their powers… Seeing the path they were heading on, I stood against them, but I wasn't strong enough like them."
"I believe you need a hug yeah?"
Jason asked spreading open his arms as Jade laughed
"Yeah I do."
Azath moving to accept the hug, but—
"Yo, yo just kidding."
Jason turned around dodging Azath before he laughed so hard making him fall on the ground still laughing.
{"You are a jerk"}
"Yeah yeah. I know you are jealous that everyone loves me Stacy, except you. Like why? Who doesn't love me? Just you."
Jason lying on the ground feeling himself and arguing with Stacy.
"Stacy?"
Azath asked turning and looking around trying to spot whoever Jason spoke with.
"Stacy's an AI built by me as my personal assistant and now technically The Strixx AI assistant."
Jade cleared things out for Azath.
{"Ma'am, this is going to seem strange."}
"Go on."
{"There's a monster wrecking havoc in Ibadan currently. More likely a magic beast. Gale currently has it engaged and he will definitely need back up."}
"Oh shit. Let's get going suit up!"
Jason gave the order as he got on his feet in a haste, but—
"Hold on, I've got a package for you Azath."
Jade said smiling
"Stacy bring up the suit."
"Jade truly loves making suits from everyone she meets."
Jason whispered to Azath as they both chuckled.
"Go on put it on."
Jason pushing Azath forward towards the show glass.
And then he wore it—
An all black body fitted suit having scales aligned all over giving it a surreal and mysterious look and feel. Black gloves, black boots, black belt.
A black nose mask covering the nose and mouth, before a hood covering his figure. On his back was a black bladed katana sheathed in a black sheath and fixed.
As he moved, the scales on the suit made him blend with the surroundings.
"YouareApex."
