Episode 16

After Markus fight with the man Markus and Youchi quickly went to sleep. The next day quickly came. Markus was able to move again. They sat on the ground and begin to discuss about the day ahead. "Youchi, we have to warn the higher council what's about to happen. We must not allow him to reach the Grand Village." "I agree...that's why we must tell the Village of the East Guardian. We must send demon slayers to help." "You go and tell him what's going on. I have to do something." "And what might that be?" "I have to go get some friends. I'll meet you there." Youchi shook her head okay. They both stood up. "You know your other friend trail today." "Yeah, I know." "Should we bring him to fight also if he lives." "No, this doesn't concern him." "But he's a demon slayer to." "A eighth of a demon slayer. He's considered more of a human than one of us. So don't bring him into this." Youchi bowed to him. "Very well.....I won't get him involved." Youchi Revolt Step to the Village of the East. Markus headed to the hometown of him and his friends.

After four hours of Revolt Step and resting he finally made it to his hometown. He begin to close his eyes to sense the prescence of his friends. He soon opened them back up. "I'm glad they're together. Save me the trouble to get them all." He begins to Revolt Step to thier location. He made it to Terence house in about five minutes. He saw Terence, Erik, and Jarvis sitting on Terence porch. He begin to walk toward them. They notice him walking to them. "I'm going to need you'll help" said Markus. "For what? You never needed our help before" said Erik. "I been attacked by a mysterious demon. Well, he's heading out to the Grand Village of Demon Slayers. He's planning an attack on the village. So we're going to help defend it." What that has to do with us? We're not demon slayers at all" said Jarvis. "Look, your clan is to also help the Demon Slayers when in need. And they going to need your help now." "If you know this why didn't you stop him" asked Terence.

"That's not important. Is you guys going to help." The three of them looked at each other. Moments later they looked back at Markus. "Yeah, we'll help. We don't have nothing else to do" said Jarvis. They stood up from Terence porch. "It's about time you asked for help" laughed Erik. "Yeah, yeah. We have to go to the Eastern Village. I have another ally who also gathering troops there." "I think that's where Dominic at to. We can get him to help" said Terence. "No, we don't need him." "If can't help I'm not going. He's capable of helping to" said Erik. "Yeah, that's true. And plus he been training with one of the best demon slayers. I know he improved since I tested him" said Terence. "Alright, but if somethings happen to him...it's not my fault." "How far is the Eastern Village" asked Jarvis. "It's about a three hour trip if we Revolt Step the whole time." "Alright, let's do this before this mysterious person attacks the Grand Village" said Terence.

The four of them begins to Revolt Step to the Eastern Village. Youchi just arrived to the Eastern Village. She begins to head to the Guardian building. When she got there she rushed inside and went into the elevator. She took the elevator to the Guardian room. She rushed inside his room where he was sitting in his throne chair. "Child, what business you have for bargining into my room." Youchi got on one knee and bowed her head toward the ground. "I'm sorry to intrude but I have a urgent message to tell you." "What is it?" Youchi lifted her head up to face the Guardian. "There's going to be an attack onto the Grand Village. A strong demon is heading there to cause chaos." "I already got word about it from the Grand Guardian of that village. He told us to gather soldiers to help defend this village. We're going to send soldiers after the unpure one trail is finish."

Youchi looked at him shocked. "Even now you're going to trial him when we can use his help now." "This is our law. He has to prove himself to have the honor to have our blood inisde him. Even when its as diluted as his." "This is crazy. When we need strong fighters....you going to put one on trial cause of a stupid bloodline." The Guardian stood up. A orange aura begins to swirl around him. Gusts of winds begin to blow toward Youchi with extreme force. She had to focus her spiritual energy to her feet so she wouldn't be blown away. She begins to sense his spiritual energy. This was the strongest amount of spiritual pressure she ever sensed. "So this is the power of a Guardian. I never knew they be this strong." "Don't ever go against our blood Ranzo ninja. We carry our blood with dignity and pride. If we deem someone unfit we have the right to trial them. This is to preserve our order."

"This is you'll way to get rid of the weak." The guardian stop his flow of spiritual energy. The gust of wind also ceased. "Even so.....this is not what I chose. The higher Guardian from the Grand Village chose this. Whatever he says goes." Youchi clutched her fist. The Guardian begins to walk into the elevator. "Its time for his trial. You're welcome to come see." Youchi walked into the elevator. They took the elevator to the ground floor. When the elevator stopped they got out and went out the building. They headed to the arena. It took them five minutes to get there. When they went inside they saw Dominic standing tall in front of Neiji. "That is my son Neiji. He is the one with diluted blood." Youchi sensed both of thier spiritual pressure. "They on the same spiritual level as Markus" thought Youchi. They went to the other side of the arena where there was benches. They sat on a bench.

A man came onto the platform where Dominic and Neiji stood on. "Since the Guardian is here we can have Dominic's trial now. This is a execution trial. The match is decided if someone falls off the platform or is killed. You'll may summon the full force of you'll demon slayer abilities." The man looked at both of them. Dominic summoned his Demon Slayer powers. Neiji held his hand out forward. A trial of flames about three feet appeared in front of him. He grasped the flames and it formed a broadsword. "You think you can win with those puny toys of yours?" "Don't worry about me Neiji. Just know these toys of yours going to defeat you." Flames begin to swirl around Neiji. A icy aura also begins to swirl around Dominic. "It seems you both are ready. So let the trial begin." The man hurried out of the ring.

Dominic blinked his eyes. He saw that Neiji disappeared. He quickly turned to his right and swung his left dagger forward. His dagger collided with Neiji's broadsword. A wave of fire and ice swirled around the building when thier attacks collided. "These two are strong. The force of thier attacks was so strong thier spirit essence flowed throughout the building" said Youchi. "This is going to be a interesting fight. Just by the force of thier attacks.....I can't determine who'll be victorious. They seem to be on the same level spiritual pressure and speed wise." "You got a pick to see who'll win" asked Youchi. "I'll say my son because he's more experience. But I can't say that cause Dominic been trained by Ilux. So it's hard to tell. But I will go with my son." "I hope you're wrong" said Youchi. "You're not bad Dominic. Maybe this fight be interesting." "You're not bad yourself." Dominic pushed Neiji sword away. He then jumped back three feet. "I have to be careful. He's faster than I thought he be. And it seems he's waiting for me to make a mistake" thought Dominic. Dominic grew a smirk on his face. "This is to fun."
