The Esoteric and The Infinitum

Bachiko stared at Yasuo then her arm flew to her and reattached to her body. She had rewinded her time to restore her arm. "So...you want to die too...That's fine with me." She summoned her naginata.

"I'll kill you...I'll kill you!" Yasuo yelled and his Battlesuit appeared on his body then he landed on the ground and summoned his longsword.

He dashed to Bachiko and slashed down at her. She got cut in half then he smirked widely. His smile faded into a surprised look when he was blasted away by a temporal beam. Bachiko's body restores as she reversed her time again.

Bachiko cracked her neck then smirked and dashed to Yasuo. She slashed swiftly at him multiple times and on the last hit they clashed, entering a blade lock. Bachiko giggled then stomped her foot down then spikes of temporal energy emerged from the ground. Yasuo dodged by jumping back. "Is that all you've got? You're practically the last remaining soldier!"

"He's not!" Nana yelled and slashed down at her.

I noticed her then stopped time then pulled Bachiko out the way and resumed time. Nana landed on the ground and stood up. "Nana...why are you still working with him? Don't you care about the fate of Japan? These monsters aren't the enemy!"

"It's because I care about Japan why I still join forces with Commander Yasuo. These monsters are the root of the evil in Japan! As a hybrid I expected you to at least understand a part of that." Said Nana as she looked at me.

I looked at her then at Bachiko. I held Bachiko close to me and she held onto my shirt. "The monsters you hurt aren't even close to being the root of evil. You attacked them first, so they retaliate. How would you feel if monsters attacked first? You would retaliate as well. The issue being a hybrid is I am supposed to be the gate between two worlds, but humans gave me no reason to fight monsters to protect them other than a select few."

"Listen to my darling...we hold the power to fuck your life up, in which we will." Bachiko smiled then looked at me.

I looked at her then let her go and nodded. She kissed my lips and she drained a bit of my monster aura. The monster aura she drained from me renewed inside me. She pulled back then her Monster Aura surged powerfully and she laughed.

I looked surprised perceiving a future event. A mecha is going to land behind me while I'm distracted and assassinate me by causing my heart to explode using their own Arjé Energy. I looked around then heard a mecha appear behind me. I dodged a laser by the mecha and Bachiko stopped time with a beat of her heart then looked at me.

"It's a wonder how you knew exactly when to dodge. Just kidding, Precognition is something only a Time Manipulator has. Strange because I can't do that." Bachiko smiled then looked at the Mecha.

"Alright let's get this fight started." I said then summoned my katana from a void. "I'm no longer holding back against these guys."

She nodded and resumed time then I dashed to Yasuo. He glared at me then slashed down. I dodged him then kicked him away. He groaned a bit as he slid back. I appeared above him and slashed down, but he blocked it then pushed me away and grabbed my face, slamming my head on the ground.

"Betraying your own father. We could have kept you alive and safe. We could have given you and your pathetic sister everything!" Yasuo yelled.

"Say whatever you want about me, but don't talk down on my sister!" I yelled and my Monster Aura surged.

He grunted and got off me and jumped back. I got up then raised my sword into the air. I swung my sword in a circle, causing powerful winds to blow. A tornado was formed and combined with my Esoteric Darkness, I formed a dark tornado.

"This tornado isn't dragging anyone into it. What is this..?" Yasuo asked. "Waiting here to find out is the worst choice! I won't let you-"

I slashed down and the tornado went directly to him. He barely dodged the tornado, but sustained some cuts on his body. "That was a tornado formed with nothing but cutting winds. You're lucky you dodged it."

Bachiko walked out of the forest dragging Nana by her hair. She looked at Yasuo with a sadistic smile. "Darling, look. She said that she surrenders. What do you think of this? Does she deserve mercy?"

I walked to Nana and Bachiko dropped her.

"The things she did to me while we fought...I...I don't want to go through that again." Nana said, looking scared.

I looked at her then crouched down and snapped my fingers then healing winds blew in the air, healing her wounds.

"You're sparing her? Why?" Bachiko asked.

I stood up and turned away from her. "She saved me a while back. It's only right I return the favor. Nana, go to St. Hoya Academy."

Nana nodded then flew off in her power suit to the Academy. Yasuo looked at us then glared and dashed to us. He slashed down, releasing a powerful cutting wave at us. I blocked the cutting wave using my dark cloak then Bachiko appeared above Yasuo and slashed down. Yasuo blocked the attack and entered another blade lock. He glared then broke the lock then thrusted his sword forward. I grabbed Bachiko's arm and pulled her out the way.

Yasuo looked back and panted. "I hate you both. Hate. Hate! HATE! I want you both to die!" He yelled and his Battlesuit grew even stronger.

He dashed to me and slashed. I blocked the attack and we entered a blade lock, but I was being pushed back. He bellowed and used his other hand to grab my sword and palmed my chest. I grunted then he punched my stomach multiple times, causing me to cough a bit of blood. He kicked me away and I crashed into a building. Bachiko erased the event of Yasuo over powering me.

Yasuo looked back and panted. "I hate you both. Hate. Hate! HATE! I want you both to die!" He yelled and his Battlesuit grew even stronger.

He dashed to me and slashed. I blocked the attack and we entered a blade lock. I stood my ground and my eyes shined brightly. I retreated and got in a stance then dark energy appeared around my sword. I dashed to him and he got in a blocking position. I slashed down and shattered his sword. He looked surprised then I jumped back then Bachiko appeared in front of him and her red eyes shined brightly. She punched his stomach then gave him an uppercut, sending him to the air and stopped time.

I manipulated Bachiko's shadow and it transformed into giant shadow version of her. The shadow summoned multiple shadow spikes in the air then sent them all flying to Yasuo. It pierced through him multiple times before turning back into Bachiko's shadow. Bachiko started time again then Yasuo's body fell to the ground.

"That's it. He's dead." I said then walked away.

Bachiko stared at his body. "No it isn't over...I didn't get any energy from him."

I stopped and turned around. A wind blew and aura began to generate around Yasuo's body. Bachiko glared and heard a hum in the air.

"Your mother...revived Yasuo. We have to kill him again." Bachiko said.

Yasuo sat up and grunted then groaned loudly then wings began to grow out of his back. He groaned loudly then began to grow to an abnormal size. He had transformed into a winged beast. He had two cores that needed to be destroyed before the main core was revealed.

"Infinitum!" Bachiko yelled and her giant clock appeared behind her. She twirled her lance around then pointed at Yasuo. "Erase!"

Infinitum fired a time beam at Yasuo, but was blocked by the Arjé Energy. Yasuo roared and caused a shockwave. I grunted and covered my ears. Bachiko groaned and covered her ears as well.

I recovered then dashed to Yasuo then dodged his feather projectiles. I summoned strong winds to propel me into the air. I spotted a core then he swiped his talons at me and hit me. I groaned as I crashed into the ground. Yasuo ran to Bachiko and Bachiko glared.

"Infinitum! Reset!" Bachiko yelled and time stopped then the sound on Infinitum ticking was heard. Infinitum began to go backwards and reversed all of the events that happened. Bachiko coughed blood then fell to her knees and panted. Using Infinitum's Reset takes up her own life force. Once the events reset, Infinitum began to tick normally. "Yoshida..you have to kill him..by destroying his body..I don't care how you do it. Just do it."

I looked at Bachiko worried and walked to her then got on one knee, placing my hand on her back. She coughed and panted. "Bachiko.."

"Don't worry about me. Once he's dead...I'll be able to take his life force. Infinitum uses up my own life force each usage. That's why I kill people...Their time is my time...he has...exactly 37 years of his life left. Kill him and allow me to take those 37 years." Bachiko said then covered her mouth.

I looked at he then stood up to look at Yasuo.

Yasuo smirked and looked at us. "Your partner is down for the count. Only you remain Yoshida. I'll kill you then kill your sister and your monster friends!" Yasuo laughed.

"I won't let you hurt anyone especially not my sister. Yasuo...this has gone on long enough! It's time to end this once and for all!" I yelled and my monster aura surged then I summoned multiple Abyss Voids and powerful winds surrounded me. I clapped my hands together then slammed my hand against my shadow then my shadow began to transform into a Dark Dragon.

Yasuo and I dashed to each other then our blades clashed then we clashed again and again. He summoned his flying Mecha to fire an Anti-Energy beam at me. My dark dragons released a dark beam at the Anti energy beam. An explosion happened in the sky and the people around screamed and retreated inside multiple buildings.

"Big brother.." Orimi looked worried as she watched the news on the TV.

"He'll be fine...I believe in him." Mae said.

I bellowed and parried Yasuo's attack then kicked him away and summoned a tornado around my body. The tornado expanded and began cutting up everything in its vicinity. Yasuo got in his Mecha to avoid the damage of the cutting winds. My dark dragon fused with the tornado, giving my tornado the Defense Break ability and allowing my tornado to cleanly slice the Mecha into bits.

Yasuo ejected out of the Mecha and flew into the sky then used his power suit to fly in the air. "What the hell..? What is this energy..? It's so much more different than Apeiron's. It's Mythical even."

The dark tornado turned into magic particles then went into the voids that were summoned. The void returned the dark energy into my body and my Monster Aura began to turn into a darker shade of red. I held my head and grunted then my eyes shined red. Black lightning surged around me then I yelled and awakened my Dark Form. My hair was white instead of the usual brown color. My aura and eyes were blood red.

"What the..?" Yasuo looked at me.

"That's one of many of the Asato Siblings Monster Abilities. They are the only monsters known who can Awaken." Naora said.

I looked at Yasuo and flew up to him. We fought in the air and clashed many times. He grunted as he was being overpowered by my overwhelming power in my Dark Form. I pushed him away with my aura then flew to him and grabbed his leg then flew down to the ground and slammed his back on the ground. He groaned loudly and coughed blood. I raised him off the ground then slammed him down again. He groaned even more. I tossed him in the air then stopped time for him. I summoned multiple dark spikes around his body then resumed time, causing the dark spikes to stab though his body at once. I felt my aura slowly fading away because I was getting tired.

"Not yet..!" I yelled then summoned a huge void above Yasuo's dead body.

The energy from the dark spikes went into the void. The void began to charge up a powerful beam of destruction then released the beam at him. The beam hit him and caused a massive explosion. I yelled as I was blown away from the explosion and Bachiko caught me. I laid against her and panted then my aura vanished then my hair turned back to normal. The energy from Yasuo went directly to Bachiko and she gained more life force to keep her alive.

"Yasuo is dead. That means the MHHQ no longer exists. The monsters have successfully destroyed their enemy." Himeko smiled and turned off her computer. "Now the real fun begins. Apeiron."

I looked up at Bachiko and gave her a thumbs up. She smiled and kept holding my body. "You all can rest easy now."

"You can too.." Bachiko smiled and blushed a bit. "Thank you for getting rid of them."

I nodded and blushed soft and scratched my cheek with my index finger. "It's no issue. Hey we all should celebrate. How about a party?"

"A beach party?" Bachiko asked.

"Beach party? Oh no.." I sighed.
