Fate's Arrival, Shadow versus Shadow

"Okay, Ren said the target would be around here. Where are they?" A young man named Eugene Woodland said to himself as he jumped through the trees. His current mission was to take down a powerful weapon that a dark guild was going to use to deal massive damage to the nearby town of Calbania. He was sure that there would be mages coming from the town itself but it was most probable that they didn't have the extensive amount of info as he had due to it being top secret up until now. Even Ren, their master hacker had much difficulty breaking through security and getting the information. Because of that, it was most probable that the people coming from town would get injured or die. It was then Eugene heard the sounds of heavy machinery. "Here they are." He said to himself as he looked towards the direction of the sound. The weapon in question looked like a giant locomotive with the armor of a tank along with large magic cannons on top of each of its compartments. According to Eugene’s information, each cannon already had the power to destroy a small town or village with a few well-placed shots.

“Eugene, there are already mages from Calbania coming to fight off the enemy.” Sakura said to him over a communication device. “They’re most likely unaware of the anti-personal weapons that vehicle possesses. They’re going to be killed at this rate!” True enough, there were several mages that came onto the scene most likely to protect their home. Those idiots don’t know what they’re getting into. Eugene thought to himself. The Dragon Slayer began to mentally calculate the amount of time it would take before both sides would meet and where they would meet before jumping off into the trees in order to reach the location as fast as possible. By the time he reached the area, he was already cutting it close as he could already hear the battle cries of the mages and warriors. The train-like death weapon also had them in its sights and began to charge up the cannon at its front. While not as powerful as the ones on top of it, it was enough to wipe out the majority of the people it faced. With as much strength as he could muster, Eugene jumped from the branch he was on as he activated his combat suit, the Black Dragon, covering his body and face as he didn’t want to be known. He landed in front of the train’s path right as it fired.

“Hey, get out of the way!” One of the men said, thinking that Eugene would get run over by the train death weapon. Unlike Eugene, everyone else was on the sides rather than the front so that they wouldn’t get run over.

“Forest Dragon’s Mirror Tree.” Eugene whispered to himself before slamming his hands to the ground. Immediately, a large odd looking tree which was very rectangular in shape came out of the ground. The mark found on the magic circle of Forest Dragon Slayer Magic was on the front of it. As the Rectangular plant began absorbing the magic attack. Eugene prepared himself for when the train would be coming at him. “Fortification Magic.” He said as magic covered his body, making him stronger. He then began to use multiple spells in fast succession “Giaichi, Giani, Giasan, Giashi, Giago! I guess I should go up one more gear for safe measure. Giaroku!” With each successive spell activation, Eugene became stronger and stronger. His defensive capabilities and strength were now exponentially higher than normal. “Panzer!” Eugene exclaimed as he activated one more spell before throwing a punch towards the train which just broke through his Mirror Tree. Many bystanders looked away as they didn’t want to see someone get destroyed by the train. The results of this confrontation were completely unexpected to everyone around. Eugene’s fist had dug into the train’s front and because the vehicle was continuing to move, it was getting crushed with Eugene, who was not knocked back at all due to Fortification Magic’s ability to keep a person where they were, just holding it there. The few men that were driving it had escaped and tried to flee before Eugene secretly used plants to trip them before authorities came. Seeing that the situation had calmed down now, he decided to leave the scene himself before heading into the town. He gave a mere nod to the people there before disappearing into the shadows of the trees. “Now I’ll probably have to be Yuna while I’m in town. People will be able to recognize my voice.” Eugene said to himself as he deactivated his combat suit. He then used magic to transform into his feminine form Yuna, complete with feminine clothing. His voice also changed while in this form. “I find it strange that I’ve gotten used to this. I’m going to pay those two back for this."

Back at the Unchained Soul base…

“Achoo!” Ren and Sakura sneezed. The two of them were already looking through girls’ clothing to figure out what they would force Eugene to wear next.
