In the mountains of Japan, In the backyard of the Nakaya household, Aoi and Johan were shoveling snow. "Why do I have to do this with you, I didn't do anything."
Johan said, his voice annoyed and angry.
"Cause I said so, plus if you help me i'll buy you a sour pop." Aoi said her voice was calm and soothing despite Johan's outburst.
"Really?." Johan said, his face and voicing dropping to calm.
"Sure, just help first."
Sour pop was the name of a soda brand, its taste is similar to lemonade but stronger in all aspects.
A few minutes after this, a man with black hair, black eyes, and a flat face.
He was wearing jeans and a dark winter coat with the hood on.
"Hey Aoi you coming to movies, I sent the text out nearly 2 hours ago."
His voice was strong and had a hick accent, yet his tone was calm and even sounded gentle to some people.
"Um sure just after this." "I should be done in 10 to 15 minutes." Aoi said, her voice slightly gentle.
"Alright we'll cya there." the man said as he walked away from the house.
20 minutes later, Aoi brought Johan to the gas station, buying him two sour pops before dropping him back home, and rushing towards the movie theater to meet up with her friends.
In the south of Hong Kong, near a river, stood a man with brown hair and blue eyes that seemed to hold stardust in them was fighting a man holding a dark shadowy blade made of flames.
The man was covered in shadows almost making him look like one that decided to become human. The shadowy man slashed his sword at his enemy's shadow.
At this moment the man with starry eyes shot out bright light in all directions removing all the shadows in the area.
The shadowy figure's body had ripples in it like a pond being hit with a rock while the air slash going towards the shadow of the man weakened significantly.
The man with stardust like eyes moved to his right and shot out a beam of dazzling starlight as he pulled out a pocket watch that seemed to be made of pale nearly illusory snake skin.
The man popped the watch open and it showed two things, a clock with one hand at the top, and at the bottom a river of silver water that seemed to be flowing inside the watch yet at the same time seemed to be its own thing.
The next moment the hand on the clock went backwards and the shadowy figure's thoughts went back to the throw he did earlier laying himself open.
Selected time reversal, this ability allows the user to control time but only one thing and it can't be too powerful such as true time reversal, unless the person using it is a rogue. The pocket watch can only target one person at a time.
At this second a knight wearing bronze rusted armor appeared from nowhere standing next to the brown hair man's side, its blade a rusted longsword with slight amounts of lighting around it.
The shadowy figure realized the situation after being dazed, he jumped back and created a wave of dark black flames around his two opponents.
At this moment the knight with the blade with faint traces of lighting around it suddenly jumped into the air and shot down a streak of lighting towards the figure covered in shadows, BANG BANG BANG the figure was struck down repeatedly by lighting but in the spot where it was nothing.
Before the man with stardust eyes could search the area, a burning black fire surrounding him suddenly soared and enveloped him, burning the man inside out.
As the man burned alive he yelled out and summoned a figure from the silver river on the pocket watch.
The figure was female and was wearing a bluish clergyman's robe and dark colored pants. She had long black hair and aqua colored eyes.
As she walked out the river of silver a thin fog appeared and water dropped on to the man with the eyes full of stardust.
At this moment the rusted knight was stabbed through the chest by a katana made of dark black flames that was held by a man with long black hair that almost reached his shoulders, sharp jawline, wearing dark colored pants, a white shirt, and a brown trench coat.
He was Lucius.
In the next second he pulled the blade out his opponent's chest and shot him with a gun that was made of black shadowy fire.
The bullet that was shot out was silver with light blue lines across the sides.
The knight's helmet was pierced through killing the knight instantly and after a few moments his body disappeared.
In the next second a rain of arrows covered the sky and attacked the man with stardust filled eyes and the woman in a blue clergyman's rope.
The lady created a barrier of water that surrounded the two and the man used the pocket watch again.
The river of illusory silver overflowed and turned into the knight with the rusted armor and bronze longsword that was surrounded by faint traces of lighting.
As he did this Lucius smiled and the flames that made up his sword soared as he slashed at the shadows of the 3 people inside the water barrier.
In the next moment the three people inside the barrier were cut across the chest tearing their clothes or melting their armor.
The lady who made the barrier stopped holding onto it as she held her wound, vomiting up blood, and used the water from the river to shield them from the barrage of arrows.
The knight held his armor and repaired it.
In the next second, he stabbed his longsword into the ground as it created a faint light source that removed the shadows, and protected them from incoming attacks.
The man with eyes filled with stardust grabbed at his chest as he used the pocket watch to reverse the time on his body to 5 seconds ago, completely removing the wound.
Upon seeing this, Lucius threw his sword into the air as it disappeared into a burst of black flames.
He placed his hand out into the air, as he did this the shadows from the trees, birds, and other things came to life as they transformed into figures that seem to resemble bears and charged towards the 3.
From the ground underneath the barrier of water and lighting, a man jumped out and held a rifle in his hands as he pointed at the woman with the clergyman's robe.
BAM, the bullet shot right through the lady's skull leaving her a lifeless corpse, her body turning illusory before disappearing.
At this moment, the knight stabbed his blade at the man but before he could, a barrage of arrows struck him down as the man who came from underground went back into the hole he came out from and covered it. The shadowy bear-like figures charged forward and ran over the knight and the man with eyes full of stardust.
After a few seconds the shadows returned back to their places and what remained was the corpse of the man with starry eyes.
As Lucius looked at the man's corpus, he saw the pocket watch made of pale illusory snake skin sitting down on the ground.
Lucius's crew came from the woods and began to search the area. At this moment a man with dark blue hair and bronze skin showed up. He was wearing a blue clergyman's robe, white pants, and an emerald necklace.
The man walked towards the pocket watch and suddenly the watch floated up and flew to his hands as it was covered in the silver river water.
Lucius spoke to the man holding the pocket watch: "Hey Rodolfo have you sealed it yet?" "Bro, I just started." said the man with the pocket watch.
"Yo we got something." Charlie yelled at the two. "It seems to be ritual materials."
At that moment a bright light came from the pocket watch and all of the members of the crew there closed their eyes except for Rodolfo.
After the light disappeared Rodolfo threw the watch at Lucius and the latter caught it with his left hand as he walked towards Charlie squatting down next to a part of the river: "You know what it was for?" "I'm guessing to start the advancement for history summoner." Charlie said with a tone of uncertainty.
History summoner is a title for wizards once they gain an ability to summon people from history. The first step for it is to first gain the ability to summon people through history. This can be done through accommodating an item or the soul of a being that can do this or sleep for nearly 200 years in a sealed location and return back to the real world after you no longer belong to the current era.
"Maybe." Lucius said with a mocking tone: "Thought it seems he'll sleep for much longer than 200 years."
After the gang cleaned up the area and took what they could, they returned to a frigate that seemed illusory.
Once they entered the warship they placed the illusory pocket watch and ritual materials into a pit that seemed to break the rules of space as it seemed deeper than the ship itself.
In a city on the mountains of Japan, in a cafe, Ryuzo was drinking a cup of coffee as he was reading on his phone, when suddenly the surrounding area turned dark as a full moon and a field of flowers were the only things outside.
Upon seeing his surroundings change, Ryuzo jumped up, placed his phone in his pocket and summoned a katana with a white handle and a reddish black multi-layered tsuba that has crosses in its design on the top and the Shinmen's family crust below. Its scabbard was white with grayish spots that resemble ash.
At this moment a streak of lighting shot out where Ryuzo was, as he unsheathed his blade. Ryuzo looked around the area and saw a man wearing a black trench coat that was burned. His eyes dark and hair a deep brown. Ryuzo recognized the man. He was the former 3rd seat of squad 5, James Smith.
