Chapter 38 - Goal And Mission

She's running in the dark hallway that is illuminated by the moon, her steps and breath echoed throughout the corners. So many stair she must take to the place that she need, her face colored of fear after hearing a big banging sound from above her,

"Asahi?! Asahi!" She tried to communicate but nothing returned to her, "This is bad.." 

She keeps running and running until she reaches the door that opens to the mystery. She pushes the door, and looks toward the skies, looking at two girls still dancing around. But shocking explosion suddenly thrown one of them towards her, 

"Asahi-" She catches Asahi but still pushed back far,

Asahi gazes at the person that catches her, "Ai?" Surprised by her sudden appearance,

"You should be inside of Sagiri's dimensions, why are you here? Sagara said while landing on the ground, confused by Ai's sudden appearance.

"Sagara, Stop all of this! What are you planning for?!" Ai said furiously,

"...Plan? It is simple, I just need to take all of your powers and destroy X.A.G." Sagara cheerfully said,

"Power? What do you mean by that?" Ai asked, 

"Every Reincarnation has its own ability,  a gift that can be used to defend, or fight. You and your friends have it too." Sagara draws her staff toward Ai and Asahi, "Let me demonstrate you an example." 

Suddenly her Snake Staff eye radiates a light, an intense familiar feeling of demonic presence all around her. 

"That… is… My power… she took it from me…" Weakened Saega crawling the wall, trying to move her body but she couldn't,

"Saega…" Ai is surprised by looking at her state, Sagara's back become covered by a dark clouds, it moves very quickly towards both of Ai and Asahi,

"In my case, I can take, even use the power that I took. No matter how many you are, today's goal is to take it all. Especially both the Prince and the Princess." Sagara said,

All of the sudden Asahi laughed so hard, like it was a funny thing. The dark clouds that surrounded began to be absorbed by her. 

"You want to take my power? I can't believe it… Even I was frightened by my own power…"Her hair turned white, her astral armor changed like when she faced Kanna, A Pair of wings suddenly appeared.

She stood up, showcased an opposite aura from her usual self, 

"Sagara, you're twisted mind making yourself look stupid." Sarcastic word of Asahi triggers a goosebumps on Ai, "Now you are giving me a reason for killing you." 

"As…sahi..?" Ai shaken by her display of menace,

The atmosphere becomes so intensively heavy, the air becomes denser and colder like Asahi's eyes after she opens her eyes revealing red pupiled eyes and black selera.

Her chilling expression differs from her aura, her appearance symbols of atrociousness.

She lifts her right hand equipped with her shield, a purple and red ball of energy suddenly formed, it surges like a raging storm, sucks all the denser air and swirling around her hand.

"You think you will be enough to destroy all of the military force?" Asahi asked,

"If you willingly give up your power for me." Sagara responded with a smile,

"Hm, Try not to die from this." 

The energy launches towards Sagara, fast enough even Ai does not have a chance to see it move. Huge explosion caused a powerful wave, it blew everything including Saega and Ai, both struggling to hold their body to not be blown away, only Asahi herself standing still with no effect at all.

 

Ai sight blinded because of debris, she only can see a purple light began to disappear, not long until the it all blown away and clearing out the area, 

Unexpectedly Sagara also still in her place, with a big whole in front of her sucking the smokes and dirt, 

"You even took your sister's power, you really are a crazy girl, Sagara." Asahi said sinisterly.

"Surprised? Well this is the first time I'm using it." Sagara playfully replied Asahi,

Asahi placed her right hand in front of her chest horizontally, and her other hand reached inside the shield. Suddenly a bright purple light radiates as she started to pull her hand out of the shield, it was a sword that each of its pulls a red blitz coming out from it,

"I think it is time for this matter to end. But let me ask you one last time, Death or Alive?" 

Ai widens her eyes after hearing Asahi words, 

Sagara smiled, "Survive-" 

She stops her word suddenly, she looks down over her chest. She began to shake and sweat. After she looked back at Asahi's place and couldn't see her, she gazed on her back and  Asahi was already behind her.

Sagr vomits blood all of the sudden, She once again looks down and what a horribly scene it is. A purple sword pushing through Sagara's body, already drenched by blood, dripping to the ground.

"Out of the question." Asahi pulls the sword out letting Sagara fall so hard.

Still with dripping blood from the sword, Ai stands up and deeply stared on Asahi's eyes, with a scared face and terrifying even to witnesses,

"Y…you… are not Asahi…" Ai did not have the strength to hold her tears, "Who… are you?"

Asahi looked back at Ai, "..." 

"Asahi wouldn't never do this, this is wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong!" Ai try as hard as her can to confronting Asahi, 

"Minase…" 

Ai even more surprised after hearing her name being called, "Nobody call me the… except one person," 

Asahi face become sad, 

"That is…."
