Chapter 616 - Yuzuki Shoujo (end)

After turning into a Demon Knight I was very confused, I didn't understand why I had turned into a Demon Knight.

But I didn't have time for that.

After turning, my senses got sharper, I could hear wings flapping and many footsteps getting louder as more flying monkeys were coming towards us.

Yuzuki: Kaneki!

Sizzle~

Yuzuki: Phew~ good.

I was relieved to see that Kaneki was still alive, his regene had completely healed the scars he gotten from the explosion. But he was still unconscious.

I grabbed onto him and hugged him tightly, covering his small body with my arms.

Yuzuki: I'm sorry I've gotten you involved... But I'll get you back to your family.

Without a second thought, I began to move.

I intended to go out the same way I went in, through the entrance.

???: There!

???: get her!

But the way down was completely overrun by flying monkeys, after they saw me they began to shoot and cast magic attacks.

Bang! Bang!

???: Cursed Phoenix!

???: Poison surge!

They sent a barrage of attacks from below and above.

???: Shoot her down!

Bang! Bang!

I could do nothing but kneel down covering myself and Kaneki with my wings made out of metal.

Yuzuki: Damnit... This is way more dangerous than I anticipated!

There was so many of them, we were completely surrounded there was no escape and I felt hopeless.

Yuzuki: it's my fault again... I'm sorry Kaneki...

But.

Kaneki: Mama... Papa...

Hearing him call out to his parents while unconscious brought me back to my senses.

The bag I brought with me was destroyed and my pistol had ran out of bullets, I had nothing to use to fight back, and I did not know how to use my new body.

But I looked back to when I first transformed.

Yuzuki: metal came out of me and bullets came out...

When I remembered this, I took a gamble.

Swoosh!

Opening my wings I extended my right arm and quickly aimed towards a flying monkey.

Crack!

Bang!

And in an instant the metal on my arm transformed into a Gun and shot, after my gamble payed off I moved quickly.

I created two miniguns on top of my shoulders and two arms made out of metal below my actual arms.

I grabbed Kaneki with those arms and turned my actual arms into Automatic rifles.

Yuzuki: Let's begin.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

I began to shoot a countless barrage of bullets all around killing many flying monkeys in the process.

After clearing the ones blocking our way, I used my wings and quickly glided down.

After I reached the floor where I entered from I ran straight for the exit. But...

Yuzuki: Are you kidding me?!

When I opened the door I saw nothing but rock behind it. "What's going on?" "Didn't this lead to outside earlier" many questions popped into my head.

That's when I looked at the sides of the "door" then I realized it was a portal.

The base located deep in the mountain and they used portals to get in.

Yuzuki: I hate to admit it, but these monkeys really have good tech.

I didn't know if there was any other exit but I thought about it, they couldn't have built this base without tunneling in. So there would definitely be a tunnel leading outside somewhere.

Step!

Yuzuki: Damnit!

My sharpened hearing was able to hear the foot steps of incoming flying monkeys, me and Kaneki were cornered again and I didn't know where the tunnel was.

But when I realized that I had sharper hearing.

Yuzuki: I can use this! Huff~ SCREEEEEEEEEEEECH!

I let out a loud screech that echoed throughout the entire base, and as the sound came back to my ears.

Yuzuki: Woah!

Right in front of me, a 3D map of the base appeared, I didn't know whether I was seeing was real or not but I quickly studied it and found the route to the tunnel.

But as I was studying I found one interesting room near the tunnel.

Yuzuki: This must be the core room... I'll have to take this base down. Even if I can't kill all of these flying monkeys I'll make them weaker.

From the 3D map that was in front of me, I concluded that this base was for research purposes and destroying it would make the flying monkeys weaker.

So after memorizing the route I began to move.

Yuzuki: Outta my way!

Bang! Bang!

Slash!

I've ran straight through the flying monkeys, their attacks weren't effective anymore.

Using my Guns to shoot down and my wings to cut through them, I quickly made it to the core control room without any problem.

Yuzuki: Alright.

I'm not good with tech so I pressed random buttons until.

Core overheating deactivate the core to prevent self destruction.

Yuzuki: Yes!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

I then finished the job by destroying the control panel, and made my way to the tunnel.

Yuzuki: Yes! See that Kaneki?! We're going home free!

I was overjoyed that we were about to escape.

That was when...

Slash!

Yuzuki: AAAAARGH!

As I was running something came from behind me and struck me with a sharp blade.

Gush~!

Apparently one of my wings were cut off and the one responsible was a flying monkey.

But this one in particular.

Yuzuki: YOU!

???: Hmm? Have I smelled you before? Sniff~ I knew it!

It was the same flying monkey who directly killed my friends and family.

???: Heh! To think that you were a Demon Knight, if only those three didn't interfered I wouldn't have the trouble of facing you.

Yuzuki: Grrrr.

My body was being filled with rage as the one responsible for the deaths of my loved ones was right in front of me.

But I didn't have time for that.

Yuzuki: Get out of my way, I don't have time for this, I'll deal with you later.

My priority is to get Kaneki out of the base safely, I know this monkey would cause trouble but since the base was going to explode I thought he'd try to escape.

???: Oh I will, only if you give us that child.

But obviously, he wasn't trying to, so a fight was inevitable.

Yuzuki: ...

Crack!

After my wing regenerated, I aimed all my guns at the flying monkey.

???: Heh! It'll will take a lot more than guns to take me down.

The flying monkey made a stance leaving no openings, it was clear it was well skilled at using the sword.

We both stood still for a second and then.

Swoosh!

We both charged at each other with the intent to kill.

???: Ora!

Yuzuki: Grrr

Brrrrrrrrr~

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Slash!

Crack!

Yuzuki: Damnit!

Even with the speed of my guns, the flying monkey was able to deflect them with it's sword with ease.

I knew my next move was dangerous for Kaneki but, I moved in closing the distance between us, getting to a closer range for my guns.

???: That won't work!

Swoosh!

It then charged straight at me.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

My Guns continuously fired as many bullets they could produce.

But non of them even made a scratch, and the flying monkey was deliberately not hitting me with his sword.

It was as if he way toying with me- no he was.

He knew it was sthe first time I ever became a Demon Knight and was very inexperienced with head on battles.

That alone was troublesome, what's more I could feel the air around me getting hotter. The core was reaching critical levels it won't be long until the base goes down.

???: Alright then, time to get serious.

Yuzuki: !!!

When it said that.

Slash! Cut! Pierce!

Yuzuki: AAAAAAAAARGH!

It was too fast! He cut off my guns and wings off and pierced my heart.

I still held onto Kaneki, I didn't understand how I was still alive, nevertheless it continued it's assault slashing and cutting me down.

Thud!

Until I fell to my knees.

Yuzuki: Bluergh!

I was so severely damaged that I began to vomit blood, up against this more experienced killer was way too difficult for me.

Grip!

But even so, I held onto Kaneki. If I were to let go of him he would be taken in an instant. That I will not allow.

???: Give me that kid! I might spare you!

Kick!

Yuzuki: ARGH!

He kicked me over and over again trying to take Kaneki from me, I covered Kaneki with my wings preventing him from being hurt.

???: Hahahaha! This is fun!

There was no way for me to beat him on my own, if only Kaneki could fight...

That's when I remembered when Kaneki told me about his blood clones.

"By the way Senpai look at this!"

"There's two of me now!"

I didn't know what I am truly capable of as a Demon Knight, so I tried to imitate Kaneki.

???: Hahaha! Just die already so you don't need to be-

Click!

???: Huh?!

Bang!

Crash!

???: Argh!

The guns and wings that were cut off during the fight moved and turned into 5 clones.

They all shot the monkey away from me.

Melt~

Sizzle~!

Yuzuki: AAAAARGH!

One of the clones melted into molten metal and came back to them, it may had burned me but my injuries were patched up.

I struggled to get up but I looked at the flying monkey and hell fire began to come out of it.

???: Damn you! I'm gonna kill you!

Swoosh!

It charged at me once more.

Swoosh!

Pierce!

???: AARGH! HUH?!

Bang!

But my clones pierced their guns in it's body and shot many bullets into him, and preventing him from moving.

Yuzuki: AAAAAAAAH!

Crack!

Taking this opportunity I then turned my own arm into an automatic rifle and shoved it into his mouth knocking a few teeth off and then.

Yuzuki: Bang!

Bang!

I shot him directly through the skull and killing him.

Thud!

Yuzuki: That was very underwhelming.

Although I finally killed the one responsible for the death of my loved ones, I felt no satisfaction.

The clone so made had melted away after the battle ended.

I was about to get run, I was completely too late.

Boom!

The Core had completely melted down and exploded, I quickly covered myself and Kaneki with my wings made of metal before the explosion could reach us.

And after a few seconds the explosion reached us.

Boom!

Swoosh!

Crash!

The explosion sent us both flying out of the base and crashing.

After that I landed on my back and all the metal around my body began to melt away opening the wounds I've sustained.

After that happened my life began to fade away, but right at that moment Kaneki began to awaken.

And the rest... Well you already know. Don't you? Kaneki.

Present day*

Kaneki: Wow... So that's all that happened huh?

After Kaneki had finished seeing Yuzuki's memories he was very surprised.

Yuzuki: So how was it?

Kaneki: I'm honestly surprised, and feel a little guilty. To think that I was the reason why you went on your last mission...

Yuzuki: Don't be Kaneki, I would had probably done it anyways even without you influencing me.

Kaneki: Even so, I still feel guilty... And also... Thank you Senpai for doing everything for you know.

Yuzuki: It's alright, it's alright.

Kaneki: By the way Senpai, how were you in the land of the dead after you died?

Yuzuki: Well I finally reunited with my friends and family and... They were actually quite pissed at me?

Kaneki: really? Yikes.

Yuzuki: Yeah but they were pissed because I let myself get killed.

Kaneki: Huh?

Yuzuki: my friends and parents had also been watching me since they had died and actually felt very guilty for how I turned out.

Kaneki: Really?

Yuzuki: Mhmm, my friends felt the most guilty because they shunned me because I lied but to be honest they really shouldn't after all I did lied.

Kaneki: Why did you lie about one of your friends taking your lunch anyways?

Yuzuki: Hehe~ I was jealous that XXX-chan was having cake for lunch.

Kaneki: Wow you were a stupid child.

Yuzuki: Haha~ yeah I was but I was able to apologize so there's that...

Just then the spirit of Yuzuki made a hesitant face.

Noticing this Kaneki asked her.

Kaneki: Hey Senpai do you have something to say?

Yuzuki: Hey Kaneki... Do you by any chance want to bring me back to life?

Yuzuki thought Kaneki would be surprised by this but he instantly replied.

Kaneki: Obviously, but I don't want to separate you from your friends and family.

Hearing his answer and reasoning, Yuzuki was surprisingly relieved.

Yuzuki: Well believe it or not, my parents actually want me to go back to life and fulfill my dream of becoming a teacher.

Kaneki: E-Eh? Really?

Yuzuki: Yup, they said "you haven't lived your life to the fullest yet" same goes for my friends.

Kaneki: That's... Nice I guess? I mean you could still live in your old home, I've been taking care of it. But wouldn't that be lonely?

Yuzuki: Actually your Grandparents and Great Aunt offered to adopt me. I mean you were also planning to bring them back to life right?

Kaneki: Wait how do you know about that?

Yuzuki: I did told you all the Demon Knights were watching over you remember?

Kaneki: Oh yeah sorry I forgot.

Yuzuki: it's alright.

Kaneki: Hmm~ actually know what? Sure I'll bring you back to life then. If my Grandparents and Great Aunty Azusa is fine with it then so am I!

Yuzuki: Good!

Yuzuki was happy to hear him agree.

Yuzuki: Now then, time to give you your gift.

Kaneki: Eh? Gift?

Yuzuki: Yup, could you place one of my guns on my gravestone? It can be any gun.

Kaneki: sure?

Kaneki didn't quite understand what was happening but he cooperated willingly.

He used Darkness travel and took Yuzuki's pistol and placed it on he gravestone.

Yuzuki: Good now let's begin.

Glow~

Burst!

As soon as the Gun was placed, her eyes glown purple and purple flames covered her gravestone.

Yuzuki: Now then, put a few drops of you own blood.

Kaneki: Okay~

Chomp!

Drip~

After inflicting a strong bite on himself, Kaneki began dripping his own blood on the burning gravestone and gun.

Swoosh!

Kaneki: Woah!

After he had dripped a few drops of blood the fire grew a bit larger and died out.

Kaneki: Woah! What happened?!

And to Kaneki's surprise his Senpai's gun had changed, it had more gold ascents and the words omega (オメガ) written in Katakana.

Kaneki: hey what happened?

Yuzuki: I've imbued the gun with the powers of all Demon Knights including yours.

Kaneki: Huh?

Yuzuki: basically it has all the powers of all Demon Knights and only you are capable of using them.

Kaneki: ...

Yuzuki: know what? You'll find out when you use it, but remember it you can only shoot it once a day so you use it's ultimate attack you'll have to wait for it to be fully charged again to use.

Kaneki: Okay?

Yuzuki: anyways it's yours now, give it a name.

Kaneki then picked up the gun and looked before calling it.

Kaneki: I shall call this... The Omega Blaster.

Yuzuki: That's a good name, that is a gift from me and all Demon Knights.

Kaneki: Thanks senpai, could you tell everyone thanks in the land of the dead too?

Yuzuki: I will, well time is almost up. I wish we could talk more.

Kaneki: Yeah same.

Yuzuki: Oh but before I leave I have something important to tell you.

Kaneki: Hmm?

Yuzuki told Kaneki something that he liked.

Kaneki: Woooaaah~ okay then!

Yuzuki: well then, see you Kaneki.

Kaneki: Bye bye! See you later!.

After saying their goodbye's Yuzuki returned to the land of the dead.

Kaneki: Hehe~ I'll definitely get more powerful and bring you all back.

Kaneki then happily walked back to his friends.

Meanwhile*

Kotori: Alright almost done, now then let's see what you can do, Sachi.
