World End: The Successor's Contract

Uta and Rachel began battling Lucifer in the sky, pushing him further away from where Zeno and Shuna were.

And Zeno observed the whole fight from below, tightening his fist from the frustration he was feeling.

"How long is it going to take?" Zeno asked, tapping his foot on the ground impatiently as he looked to Shuna who had her eyes closed while reciting a spell.

Shuna had her staff raised to the sky as it slowly glowed the longer she recited her spell. Once it had gathered enough energy she opened her eyes and walked toward Zeno.

"So…" Zeno said with his body hopping around, feeling restless about the battle happening with Uta and Lucifer, "Can I use the blue flames now?".

Calmly, Shuna pointed her staff at Zeno's forehead with a warm smile, "You're going to fall asleep, okay?." She said.

"Fall asleep? What do you-"

The magic energy immediately transferred from the staff and straight into Zeno's brain which caused him to feel dizzy.

He was slowly falling to his knees, his hand resting on Shuna's shoulder as he struggled to keep his eyes open.

"W..what did ... you do?" Zeno mumbled.

With a serious face as her eyes kept swaying behind her, she looked to Zeno and uttered, "You have to remember… everything is riding on you using this flame, we're counting on you!" She yelled.

Shuna let go of Zeno and took a sharp turn to block Lucifer's incoming punch with a barrier.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

"Uta.! Keep him away from the Successor!".

As Zeno fell to the ground unconscious, he could hear faint sounds of people speaking before hitting the ground with his back and going off.

Shuna looked back to see that Zeno had gone unconscious, with a smile she uttered, "We'll buy as much time as possible… the world is counting on you." She ran.

"You freaking pest!" Lucifer yelled, grabbing Rachel's leg and slamming her against the wall which left a smile on her face.

Rachel jumped out of the wall and landed on both her hands and foot with the same crazy smile, "Come on Lucifer.. you can do better than that!" She yelled.

She leaped to the sky with her white blade covered in an immense amount of white lightning as she drew close to Lucifer from the front.

Uta drew close to Lucifer from behind, with her eyes glowing red and her sword enveloped in a huge amount of magic energy.

Whole below him was Shuna, who had a huge spear formed out of magic aimed at him.

They all had their attack ready to destroy Lucifer. He also could see the predicament he was in but yet he was unfazed.

Raising his hands in front of him, he stared at Zeno's body with a smile, "Rise from your slumber… Shoikemuri!".

With a huge burst from the ground, multiple numbers of giant tentacles charged from the ground and straight to the girls.

....

Zeno opened his eyes and found himself floating in an infinite world of darkness with huge boxes of his memories floating around.

"Where am I?" Zeno questioned, his voice echoing around the place as he floated past the boxes of memories.

Each memory held a fragment of his past, the time he woke up in the forest and met Ava standing in front of him, the time he was adopted, he started remembering everything.

"These are all…"

He looked to his left to see another line of boxes filled his memories, but these were the ones he never knew he had but they felt strangely comforting.

He saw himself, wearing a white garment with white wings while playing with other kids like him.

"My memories." He uttered in shock.

Looking in front of him, was a small island, with three men waiting there in a mysterious outfits.

Once Zeno got on the island, he looked around to see if he could make out anything from where he was.

"Zeno Ayato."

One of the men wearing a red cloak called out, which immediately drew Zeno's attention.

"Who are you guys?" Zeno asked.

One of the men in a black cloak answered, "Speak your mission".

"Uhn? Mission? I don't know what you are talking about."

"You have some from the Leviton flame, have you not?" The man in yellow asked.

A strain suddenly hit Zeno in his head as he remembered Shuna pointing her staff at him, "That's right!" He yelled.

Zeno stomped toward them, "Yes the blue flames, I need it to save my friends!" He shouted.

"Are you aware of the consequences?" The man in red asked.

"Anyone who is killed by this flame is erased from existence… and all things time and space." The man in yellow added.

Zeno smiled, "That's good then, that means we can finally get rid of Lucifer." He stopped and looked at the floor with confusion, 'Finally? Have I done this floor?'.

Zeno suddenly heard the sound of a gate opening, he looked up and saw a white Gate at the back of the men.

"You may acquire the flame, but remember… there are consequences to obtaining overwhelming powers." The man in red warned.

Zeno smiled in excitement and immediately ran inside the gate, with the only thing on his mind being to leave the world as quickly as possible so he could go help Uta.

Once Zeno was gone, the man in red removed the cloak covering his face, revealing how he looked identical to Zeno.

The rest did the same, each of them dressed differently but still carried the same facial features as Zeno.

One of them uttered with a sad tone, "Do you think he's ready?" He asked.

The man in black replied, "He has to be and unlike us… and if he fails… the world fails.".

The man in red then uttered, "He's different… I can feel it, I am him after all,".

Zeno ran into the open gate, panting as he ran past the beautiful gardens and heading straight for the altar where a Grail was burning blue flames and resting on a table.

Zeno arrived in front of the grail, panting as he looked at the majestic light that shone upon the Grail from Heavens.

With a nervous smirk on his face, Zeno reached out to the Grail, touching the tip, and the next thing he knew his entire body was burning as he screamed in pain.
