Chapter 4 - CH-4 The Truth Descends...

The Dark-Grey clouds surround the whole residence from above, set up like a boundary. Thundering, Rumbling like it's speaking to us, warning us. Within the spiraling clouds, forms a portal, sparking erratic.

And from beneath the darkness, peeks the one behind all of this, a humongous monster, staring them down with its eight black eyes. Shining like diamonds, but it didn't reflect light, but mystery, enigma... a secret.

It slowly moves, emerging each leg one-by-one, revealing it's monstrous structure. Huge abdomen, small head armed with its uncanny spikey pincers, and legs longer then its own figure. It had curvy spikes all over its body, just the sight of it made Suiryuu think, if he's gonna survive this time or not.

In an eerie yet majestic voice, the monster speaks, "This eerie presence... I can feel. I have to take you back."

The huge spider crawls out of the portal, walking on the very fabrics of space. Tracing it's way before their backyard while staring at Suiryuu, Damura and Veguro.

Shimura questions the spider, "What do you want Spidey?" 

"Well well, I didn't expect such a crude language, from thee. Fallen Lo-." Shimura's pupils dilate in shock, he moves at lightning speed driving an upper cut straight to the spider's jaw, sending it flying to the portal before it could finish.

But the spider halts its motion from entering the portal by gripping the clouds from outside.

The monster spits out some of its black blood, "Just as I had interpreted, this won't be easy. But this wanderer can't entrust fate in your hands anymore, forgive me." The spider declares in its calm yet frightening voice.

All three of the friends are again in a similar situation as before, another monster after them. Trying to hunt them down. Veguro cries out in fear, "What the actual hell did we do to get all these monsters after us".

"And who do you think you are to order me?" Suiryuu questions in arrogance.

The situation is now really heating up, Shimura's blood is slowly boiling. His expression hardens.

"I doubt that you have forgotten me" The spider replies, "yet for the sake of grace and, for your family members who do not know me, allow me to introduce myself anew." 

"I am the Weaver of Dreams - the one who threads the strings of past, present, and the very future. Born in the origins of dark, end at the brink of light."

"The Seer of Time..."

"Nexyra" 

His name echoes in silence, giving Shimura weird flashbacks and making him go insane, almost. He falls to one knee, grunting in pain while holding his head.

Chihiro catches him, trying to give him support, "There is no way... Honey, keep calm! Should I help you!" Chihiro is set in panic on the sight of Shimura's weakened form. Shimura's eyes wide open, he breathes heavily, sweating, his saliva dripping from his mouth.

"Time has stripped your power, Shimura. Your presence that once made the realms tremble, is now kneeling itself in your frail flesh" The spider sighs as he drops from above and shoots its web on Veguro, Damura and Suiryuu.

Damura shouts in terror, "Ayoooo What is this sticky stuff!!!"

Suiryuu screams in fear, "Spider web obviously!! Let me go dammit! Neko-Neko or whatever your name is!!"

Veguro cries out loud in horror, "WTF is going on today man!!" Tears roll down his cheeks like huge tennis balls.

"Whether or not you are worthy, I shall conclude. Your death rests in my own hands now." The spider utters.

But before it could drag them away, Chihiro uses some kind of Telekinetic Powers to hold the spider and pull the children away, "Try to get loose as hard as you can, I will hold it still". The three of them use all of their might to break the web

Chihiro uses all of her strength but Nexyra is on a whole other level then that. He breaks through the Telekinesis by raw force, rendering Chihiro to the ground. As he was bout' to take the kids away, he feels a tension on its webs and turns around.

Shimura wipes of his face while holding the strands of Nexyra's web to stand. 

"You are not taking them anywhere, you are no match for me anyways".

"Such boldness ill befits for someone whose soulflux trem-" 

Before he could finish, Suiryuu grabs the other end of the web and starts to spin Nexyra like a ragdoll and slams him to the ground, the impact cracking the ground.

Before Nexyra could stand up from the damage Shimura flash steps on its back and drives a straight down punch creating a mini-earthquake in the area. Nexyra vomits out blood but without wasting any time, he grabs Shimura with two legs.

"My Apologies for underestimating you, but I must end this here and Now" Nexyra grunts in pain.

Nexyra brings Shimura closer to its Huge pincers, even larger then is own head. He tries to cut Shimura in two. But Shimura just holds on the Pincers and breaks one of it sending jolts of pain to Nexyra, falling to the ground.

Shimura holds the other pincer and hits consecutive upper cuts to its jaws while holding on tight to not set it go flying. Each impact sounds like a Grenade blast. Nexyra vomit lots of blood.

All the three of them start to cheer in awe, "That's the most brutal beating I've ever seen!!". "Let's Goo Uncle, show'em who's the boss here!!" Veguro jumps n excitement 

Shimura turns to them while standing on top of Nexyra and raises both of his hands, "Haha, I still got life in me! Wohoo!" 

Nexyra gets itself together, flexes his legs and jump with enough power to reach the portal and throw Shimura in it. "Your efforts are meaningless. The future has already taken shape — and you no longer belong to it."

The spider slowly turns its sight from above towards the three of them, "I hope with all of my heart, that your young blood shall sate the hunger of redemption, the antient mistakes" Nexyra marches towards then with its dead eyes locked onto them.

"Let's make a run for it while we still can!!!" Damura screams as they dash inside the house for escape.

"You can run, but you can't hide" Nexyra shakes of the damage dealt by Shimura and proceeds to hunt them down. Smashing its legs through the roof of the house, kicking off the walls like its toy-bricks.

"Stop!! Right at this instant!" Chihiro uses all the bits of power left in her to try to stop Nexyra from going any further to buy as much time as possible for the kids to run away. However it doesn't have much effect of him.

Nexyra kicks off Chihiro like a pebble straight to the house, leaving it in ruins, "Resistance is futile".

Suiryuu hiding in the kitchen with the other two hears the boom and rushes outside to see the house almost half-demolished and his mother lying on the rubble, blood trickling down her head, her arm broken.

Suiryuu is left in utter shock and dismay. He runs to his mother, lifting her head up to support her body in pain. Tears run down his cheeks, Filled with half-fear, half-anger, "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!! WHAT DO YOU WAN'T!?.... Why can't you leave us alone... I won't forgive you for this, I WILL KILL YOU!!"

"It would take you more than a million years to reach as such level as mine, young vessel" The spider speaks in a crude manner.

His mom murmurs, no strength left in her, "Sui... ryuu.. run away with your friends, I will hold him ba-back"

Suiryuu holds his mother's face, "Mom, i am not going to leave you here to die. I would rather die here too"

Nexyra crept closer lowering its colossal frame, whispering, "It seems your blood is the only one present at this instant. Well, I shall seek further with you only"

Chihiro warns the spider in her lost breath, "Do you even understand, who have you attacked"

Nexyra moves forward to capture Suiryuu.....

-Silence Screams-

The air grows thicker, everyone's eyes are wide open, sweating in fear. All of them, every single one present in the Tsugaraki residence at instant, falls to their knees, they could feel death approaching.

They breath heavily, something different is arriving, something surreal. Just the mere presence embedded fear in everyone's heart.

A strange crackling sound comes from above....

Someone was coming out, tearing through the very strings of cosmos.

"You dare hurt..."
