Chapter Five: The Dark Ones

It was afternoon at the Roost, and Kojiro was spoiling Tsubaki for the fifteenth time that week. "Kojiro, I appreciate this, but you don't have to wait on me hand and foot..." the girl told him, but Kojiro wouldn't hear of it. "Now, what kind of boyfriend doesn't treat his girlfriend like a princess?" he responded as he pecked her on the lips, an act that soon turned into a make-out session. Ash and Cilan stood in the doorway, sweatdropping at the moment. Soon, a blast was heard from outside, and everyone in the clan went to check it out.

Outside, there were two cloaked figures, standing in the middle of a crater, waiting for something. One was male and was smoking a cigarette. A molicle could be seen in the hood. The other was a rather loud female. "Come on out, you twats!" The female cloak demanded. "Here they come now..." the male responded as the clan emerged from the front door. "Who are you, and what's the big idea making craters in our yard?" an angry Ash yelled. "We're here to see the Creators we hear so much about." The male cloak calmly responded as he poured the ashes from his cigarette onto the ground. Just then, he noticed the two Creators.

"Are you Kojiro Hatoshi and Pudding Mokura, by chance?" he added, to which the two real-worlders nodded. "Good... that makes killing you much easier!" the female responded as she charged at the group. Kojiro acted quickly and put up a force field. "How do ya liek that, bitch?" he taunted, but was shocked to see his force field crack, then shatter. The culprit; the cloaked male, who had just snapped his fingers. "How... how did you break my force field?" Kojiro asked, shocked. "Oh, please! You think you're the only ones with Creator Powers?" The cloaked male responded as he made his cigarette disappear, and a wine glass full of dark red wine appear in his hand. He then took the sip of the liquor.

"You and your smokes and booze are annoying me, ya know!" the cloaked female told her partner, irked. The male then snapped back. "HOW DARE YOU BADMOUTH MY SMOKES AND BOOZE?" Meanwhile, the pure Creators stared in shock. Were these the Corrupt Creators that Arceus mentioned? It certainly seemed that way. But they knew that they couldn't let themselves lose to this new threat, so Kojiro summoned some of his power, and formed a crescent-shaped energy wave out of it. "Shinsei..." he began, getting the attention of the Corrupt Creators. "No..." he continued as the evil duo looked on, intrigued. "... PAAJI!" Kojiro finished as he launched a powerful wave of energy upon the two. They quickly evaded as the blast left a huge crater in the ground.

"Damn... they're more powerful than I thought! We must retreat for now!" the male cloak stated as they began to make their getaway into a sinister-looking portal. "Wait! Who the hell are you?" Pudding yelled, whiched earned a smirk from the Corrupt Creators. "Ah, yes! How rude of us! I am Prince Oblivion! And this is my partner, Acid!" The cloaked male, now known as Prince Oblivion, stated as they entered the portal, which closed in an instant.

Later, the others were commenting on Kojiro's new attack. "I've never seen a Purity Type Creator before! The only Purity Type I know is Ash!" Iris told him, which earned a confused look from the male otaku. "Purity Type?" he asked. "Ah, yes. There are many types of beings in the Multiverse. They are categorized by the inner power they have. You're a Purity Type." Ash explained.

With Kojiro's new power and the arrival of these Corrupt Creators, things promised to be interesting for our heroes...
