[CHAPTER 1-10 UNDER WIP AS ITS BEING REVAMPED]
It's 1987. The late autumn winds flow through the city of Minato in Tokyo. The sun is on the edge: a few cusps of minutes till it disappears into the eventually horizon to repeat again the next day.
Salarymen, office workers, bakers and more are returning back home to enjoy their time with their own families: a motivation for humans to live and continue on.
However, some humans have other motivations. Some humans want to be the shield for others. Just like people in the military. They are selfless and courageous. They may or may not have a family back at home, but they still fight and defend. That's what it means to be a human too.
In an alley, deep into the concrete jungle of Minato...
A moth. Human sized. One with grotesquely long hairy limbs, large dusty wings, a big fat abdomen and a pointy slimy proboscis is feeding on the now mutilated dead body of an innocent human. Another human laid alive though, but covered in slimy mucus, unmoving. She was the next meal for this creature. But why was the moth that big? It's an eclipse. They have an indicator. Blood-red sclera and yellow rings as pupils and irises for their eyes.
"Eclipses are formed from Senzai Energy. Or well the corruption of that energy...", Hikaru thinks to himself as he arrives observing from the edge of a building in an alley. A european sword with a black handle and fur surrounding it's hilt. "They form when mass guilt and fear of a certain thing mingle with the abundant Senzai in the world. Thus, creating... whatever that is," Hikaru continued his monologue, deeply concentrated on how the Moth Eclipse moved.
"However, they can be killed by Senzai users... Users like me!", Hikaru continues as he confidently leaps off the building thrusting his sword through the cerebrum and cranium of the malevolent creature.
The Moth Eclipse shrieks in pain, it's body letting out a horrorsome wail of death as it convulses under Hikaru's sword and eventually reaches out to touch Hikaru but fails and falls down dead. Hikaru pulls his sword out and watches as the body of the eclipse turns shadowy black and dissipates into fine thin air.
Hikaru looks back towards the woman covered in slimy mucus and says softly with a generous smile, "Well that deals with that. I have to free you too, miss".
Hikaru walks up to the lady and slashes his sword concentratedly cutting the mucus off her. He lunges his arm towards her and lets her lean onto him as Hikaru pulls her out.
"Oh! You sweet little boy! Thank you so much! Oh my god! How can I ever repay you!", she says as she hugs Hikaru, a bit too long, tears of happiness and safety falling down her cheeks. Hikaru grinned a bit awkwardly from the overly dramatisation of her emotions as he replies politely, "It's no problem... I don't mind saving humans afterall heh".
Suddenly the laid trailed a finger down his chest with a suggestive smile. She then continued, "I'm a local 'that' type of worker around these streets... But I could help a young boy like you experience it for free... A gesture thanks from me and don't worry I have contraceptions hehe~".
Hikaru immediately blushed as he cleared his throat putting a distance between them. "Uh... I gotta go do homework! Ah! See ya!", Hikaru yells as he dashes out of the heated scene running away.
"Cute boy", she comments as she gathers her stuff and walks away.
Hikaru's Apartment in the quieter neighborhood of Minato City
Hikaru sat slouched over his desk. Small eyebags under his eyes and a cold cup of empty coffee by his side as he tries to focus on his Literature assignment. He had messed up big time.
Hikaru yawns tiredly as he looks at the wall clock above his desk.
"Hot Damn... I guess this is what I get for not finishing my homework earlier... Mr Reiji will kill me for this one!", Hikaru muttered his teeth chattering from the grim thoughts of imagining what his literature teacher would do to him. "Ah well, I guess I can finish it first thing in the morning when I wake up!", Hikaru says to himself as he spins around his chair and crashes face first into the warmth if his bed.
"Ahhh... This is the life man... Absolute comfort," Hikaru mumbles under the weight of his head nudged into the soft mattress. He gently pulls himself up resting his head against the pillow and closes his eyes.
"AH! HELP!"
A loud wail wakes Hikaru up from his slumber. He looks left and right and rubs his eyes yawning. Hikaru gets off his bed and looks out the window.
A young girl is running down the street, sweat on her face. Her arms flail around her as she sprints down the street. Behind her in the distance, an Eclipse of two human like heads, four languidly stretched arms protruding from the waist into whips and a rubbery overall skin. It's four eyes were dark red with the same Eclipse Eye indicator. It resembled a mythical Demogorgon with a height reaching 8 feet.
"RARGH! GRAGH!"
The Demogorgon Eclipse screams animalistically as it follows behind the girl.
Suddenly, Hikaru grabbed his jacket, zipped it up and grabbed his sword as he jumped out of the apartment building rolling down the street.
Hikaru rolls infront of the Demogorgon Eclipse, coming between the eclipse and the girl. He stands up, a knowing confidence smirk on his face.
"When my sleep gets interrupted, I get irritated. And you don't want me to be irritated," Hikaru says as he positions himself, his sword behind his body.
The creature blinks for a second and then screams loudly, it's tounge vibrating to the screeching sound. Hikaru puts an arm infront of his face and smirks knowing he's pissed the predator off getting it's prey.
"Good! Good! Come on!", Hikaru yells pissing the creature off more as he runs towards the eclipse.
The Demogorgon let's out another screech as it extends it's four arms towards Hikaru at blinding speeds. Hikaru smirks. Slowly a light blue hue of aura surrounds Hikaru emerging from his core.
Hikaru then begins to internally monologue to himself, "Senzai can be harnessed and used by Senzai Users to primarily enforce strength, durability and increase speed in muscles and the body...".
Hikaru creates an X infront of him using his arms. The eclipse's arms slam against Hikaru's owns, pushing the boy back a bit. The concrete street cracking below Hikaru from the sheer force of the attack. Hikaru keeps getting pushed back slowly but then he stops.
"Was that it?", Hikaru mocks as he grabs his sword and cuts the four whips off the Demogorgon with perfect precision using his Senzai to amplify his strength.
"However, Senzai can also be used in Arts as various techniques...", Hikaru continues his internal monologue as he runs towards the vulnerable eclipse.
"Frost Senzai Art"
Hikaru says under his breath as he jumps up his sword pointing downwards facing the eclipse's heart.
"Deepfreeze!"
Hikaru hilts his sword deep into the chest cavity of the eclipse, blood gushing out of the eclipse as it wails and screeches. However, the blood starts freezing as it's body begins hardening from the point of wound.
Hikaru's deepfreeze technique rapidly began freezing the tissues, limbs and cells of the eclipse as the eclipse turned into a motionless frozen statue.
"NOW!", Hikaru yells as he drags his sword downwards shattering the eclipse into pieces. He drags his sword down to its pelvis and pulls it out with shards flying everywhere. Hikaru then vertically slashes the eclipse shattering it into multiple pieces.
The eclipse began liquidifying into the same shadowy substance like the moth eclipse.
However, this time the liquid began to corrode the street below it. Hikaru was oblivious to this scenario. When the liquid fully evaporated, it left behind a massive crack in the street as it broke inwards dragging Hikaru down into a deep sinkhole.
"Wait what-", Hikaru didn't even have time to think as he starts getting sucked into an endless pit of nothingness. Hikaru starts free falling down deep into the caverns of this exposed underground hollowness below the city.
