Chapter 8: Battle in Naguya; Crystal Queen

Warning! Possible Spoilers!

((Y/N) P.O.V.)

We were almost there and my heart felt as though it would pound from my chest as I gazed out the window, watching the demolished buildings and broken down vehicles pass by my view. I nervously tapped my fingers against my leg as I waited for us to arrive at our destination. Yu must have noticed my nervousness and took my hand in his own, causing me to look up at him. He spoke as he had caught my attention, "it will be alright. There's nothing to worry about. We've got this, just be hopeful."
I gently nodded my head and Mitsuba soon spoke up as she looked to me, "listen (Y/N), the idiot is right."
Yu then cut in, huffing in annoyance, "I'm not an idiot!"
Mitsuba put her gloved hand up to signal him to be silent as she continued to speak as she was, "everything will be alright. Just fight, give it your all, and try not to die. Do that and you'll be fine."
I nodded my head and took a deep breath to try to calm myself, "thanks Mitsuba. I hope you're right."
Yoichi spoke up as he sat next to me, "it's alright (Y/N), I'm a bit nervous too" the brown haired boy admitted as he poked his pointed fingers together.
Before I could say anything more, the vehicle had come to a halt and Kimizuki had spoken up from the front seat, "alright, we've made it to Naguya. Gather your things and let's go meet up with the rest of the group. I'm sure Lieutenant Colonel Guren is already waiting for us at the rendezvous point."

(Guren's P.O.V)

I stood idly as I awaited the Shinoa squad once again. Those damned kids were a nuisance, but they got the job done. I soon noticed a familiar member with purple hair approach the crowd from the back and realized that the Shinoa squad had finally made it. "Nice of you to finally join us. Now, without further adieu. I would like to thank you all for coming and giving your very lives for our purpose. Every one of you are here for a reason and a same goal, to take down those damned vampires and take back what is rightfully ours!"I  exclaimed and the crowed yelled out in unison as they punched the air. "Let us now charge into battle and make them spill the blood for once. We will go out in a blaze of glory today so that the rest of us may live another day in peace. It's time we take up arms and show them who is at the top of this desolate wasteland of a world we live in! Let's give them hell!" I exclaimed and everyone cheered in unison, raising their weapons as they cheered on their Lieutenant.

(Krul's P.O.V.)

"...It's time the humans pay in blood! Show them who is the dominant race and lead us to victory!" I exclaimed as I finished my speech, the crowd of vampires before me cheering on their queen as they always had. They would follow me to their death, and it seemed that is what it may end as. I looked to my left at the blond at my side and let out a soft sigh as I noticed his stoic expression, "Mika, you must not worry. With the heavier the burden you bear, the farther you will fall" I said, trying to help the boy in the best way I could.
"It doesn't matter if I worry or not, the stones are still tying me down no matter what I do" Mika replied as he looked up at me, his blue eyes reflecting the pain he was feeling. I could tell he was thinking about the (H/C) haired girl that had gotten away so long ago. No, more like stollen away. I soon fell silent as everyone began to get in their lines. Soon, we would march these empty, broken streets and claim our victory. I then walked toward the front lines as Mika followed suit. From the front lines I could just barely make out the figures beginning to line up across from us. It was time.

((Y/N) P.O.V.)

I pulled out my sword and gripped the handle as I stood at the front lines. When we were given the signal, we would all be rushing into battle. It was finally time. All my hard work and training would finally pay off. It was time we claimed Naguya and killed these blood thirsty bastards. I noticed a familiar pink haired woman on the other side and I felt as though my heart would drop as I recognized the man at her side. A blond wearing all white stood tall, his weapon drawn. My senses dulled and a buzzing rang in my ears as the sound around me fell silent and he was the only thing I could focus upon. I hadn't realized Guren had said anything until everyone began to rush past me and I was shaken a bit as my hearing soon returned and I heard the battle cries of my comrades as they charged into battle. I quickly got a hold of my senses and ran into battle, gripping my sword tightly as I soon came into contact with a vampire, our blades clashing together as a shower of sparks crashed to the ground as another came behind me and I quickly turned and blocked the attack before slicing across their abdomen and activating the curse, nothing but their clothes and weapon dripping to the ground as I quickly finished off the first vampire. I quickly moved on and continued fighting my way through as many of my comrades and vampires dropped to the ground in a bloody pool around me. The streets were soon painted crimson with blood as we fought our way through the masses of vampires that charged our way. I stabbed one vampire and barely dodged an ace that came down on me, a hammer soon following as well as a scythe that blocked both attacks. Above me stood Shinoa as she sliced down the two that had attacked me. "Thanks" I muttered as I regained my stability. I was beginning to feel drained as I fought on mercilessly.
"Don't mention it" Shinoa said before hurrying off, slicing through yet another row of vampires as she used Shikama Doji to her advantage, the long range demon attack had it's perks in battle, as did the length of her weapon.
I soon made my way toward the far side of the mass until I was hit hard and knocked a few feet away, the breath knocked from my chest as my back hit the ground hard. A silver haired male soon towered over me with a warm smile over his lips. How annoying. "Ah~ My dearest (Y/N)!  It's so lovely to finally see you again! I've missed you so! And so has Krul and Mika. Oh how they have missed you so" Ferid cooed obnoxiously as he stood over my struggling form.
After I had regained my breath enough to speak, I was only able to hiss one word from my lips, venom dripping from the name on my lips, "Ferid..."
"Oh so you do remember me! How lovely! I'm so glad!" He exclaimed as he looked down at me. I felt bile rise in my throat at how disgustingly chipper he always was. I certainly had not missed that. I rose to my feet and grabbed my sword, pointing it at Ferid as a look of sorrow washed over his features, "oh, raising a sword against an old friend? My, how rude of you. Perhaps I should teach you a lesson."
I huffed and gripped my sword tightly, "you were never my friend" I growled out coldly before slashing my sword at him. He jumped back quicker than I could blink and before I could counter, he had rose his blade to stab me. I knew it would all be over in that moment, that is until a flash of white appeared just as he thrusted the blade forward. My ears were met with the groan of a male and the blood dropping to the ground. I looked up to see that Mika had taken the hit for me, his back to Ferid as he faced me, pain in his expression as he looked into my (E/C) eyes, "I've finally found you..." he muttered until he dropped to his knees, gripping his wound after Ferid had pulled his blade from him, his blood beginning to form a puddle around him already.
He had been weakened previously from not drinking, and I knew that was the reason. I looked up at Ferid as anger began to fuel my movements as I picked up my sword and markings began to spread over my face, "you'll pay blood sucker" I growled before slashing my blade against Ferid's, the force almost knocking the blade from his hands.
"My, such power fueled by rage. Such an unstable force it is. I do wonder how long it will take before  you completely lose yourself to the demon within. One minute. Two? My, wells just have to see now won't we?" He asked before I pushed my blade against his and quickly sliced his right arm, it falling to the ground as he grabbed the bleeding wound with his other hand, "argh...! Damn you. We may be able to reattach our limbs, but losing them still hurts like hell."
The markings began to envelop me as crystalline wings began to sprout from my back as one of my eyes turned red and crystal horns grew from my skull painfully. I stumbled back and groaned in pain as I began to lose myself. Though Ferid was a pain, he was right. The monster within had awoken, and it was time that the humans and vampires be judged.

(Mika's P.O.V)

I looked up at (Y/N) as she began to change before me and I shook my head in disbelief as I held my bleeding wound, "no...you can't..." was all I was able to mutter as I watched the (H/C)  haired soldier begin to shift and change as she lost herself. I felt myself begin to be pulled away as Ferid tried to get me away from her. I looked up to ask him what was going on, but he spoke before I got the chance, "this is bad. It seems that the the 4th trumpet has been awoke. The Queen of Crystal."
I glanced back at her in worry as I shook my head, "this can't happen...I have to stop this..." I muttered, but Ferid didn't seem to keen on the idea of letting me get anywhere close to the Crystalline Queen.

From across the battlefield, Kureto Hiragi and Aoi Sangu stood aside a large crate adorned in chains and spell tags covering the entirety of the crate. Kureto soon gave a signal and Aoi had begun to prepare things. The box shifted and within moments, chain-like spears began to erupt from the crate and began to stab through human and vampire alike, feeding from the energy it gained. "Finally! Everything is in place. The Seraph of the End!" He exclaimed as many more began to drop around them. Guren stopped and looked back as he noticed what was happening and Yu looked to the humans that died around him, being stabbed through in an instant, "no...this can't even happening." He muttered in disbelief, not wanting to believe what was going on.
Within time, many had died and this gave birth to a new form of destruction. The 5th trumpet was born.

A/N: Hey guys! I apologize for the long wait, but I've made it up with a longer chapter. There are slight spoilers in this chapter, but I have altered the story enough that I don't believe it will leave way to too much, but I believe the next chapter my contain more spoilers. The idea for the Crystal Queen as the 5th trumpet is based on my own OC and what I had come up with for myself and I hope you like the idea!
I want to thank you all for reading thus far and your comments help me to thrive on! Once, again, you guys are awesome and I love you! I'll try to make the next chapter for you a bit quicker.
I do not own the awesome video above, but check out Lindsey Stirling, she's an incredible violinist and I love her music.
