u/Choice_Quarter_2497

Apologies again for any grammatical errors, had to make this a multi parter as this is probably only about a third of the total project and it's already longer than acro vs ncc

Its a hectic evening in the Freakytown, the Love Hashira Levy has taken Rookie slayers, Cold his sister Generic, Ilancc and DumbRedditer to investigate a large number of disappearing women in the District.

The group have been stationed there for almost a week, split up amongst the people, Levy socialising with the rich women meanwhile Cold, Ilancc and DumbRedditer have been working as servants to rich business all trying to piece together what has been happening to all these missing people.

They seem to finally be getting somewhere, Levy has located one of the missing girls, stuffed inside a long obi belt, she cuts the girl down rescuing her.

The girl falls in her arms, gently her eyes open seeing the love Hashira hovering above her.

"Are you ok?" Levy asks caringly

"Y-you saved my life, I thought I was going to die, thank you so much" the girl tears up

"Hey that's ok, I need to listen to me, another girl is due to go missing tonight, I need you to tell me everything you know about who took you" Levy asks sternly but still smiling

"She was a girl, she had red hair, it was long and flowy, she wore a long gown, I belive she was head of the Tanaka house"

Levy's ears perk up that's where she sent cold.

The camera cuts to cold, cleaning the floor as a woman walks past him, a stern angry look on her face, she walks into a room without making a sound.

Levy thanks the woman before jumping out of the window running as fast as possible trying to locate the house in the dark.

As cold is cleaning, his sharp hearing picks up a muffled sound from a room behind him, he turns slowly, creeping towards the door, being careful not to make a sound, he peeps through and sees a young girl getting smothered and absorbed through a long pink obi sash. Cold is ready to attack but doesn't have a weapon on him, he runs to his room quickly to grab his sword.

However he makes too much noise alerting the demon, the woman slams open the door, holding the girl in one of her sashes and begins walking down the hall hunting the sound down, Cold runs into his room and grabs the katana he has been hiding under his bed and turns to fight.

He sees the demon standing at the other end of the hallway staring at him, her grip on the young woman tightening in anger.

"You? I knew there was something off about you, waltzing into my brothel like you own the place, it infuriates me" the demon snarls

Cold glares back "you have the gall to complain about me whilst you've been murdering innocent women and children for your own enjoyment, you make me sick"

The demon grits her teeth, her gown falling off revealing her true demonic form, her eyes turning, revealing the number Upper 6 in her eyes.

Cold flashes back to the Cryptic Train and Acro's fight with the Upper moon 3, he concentrates, wondering if the strength difference will be enough for him to hold is own against an Upper Rank, it's not like he has a choice.

But before he can finish his thoughts a young girl opens the door mid way down the coredor "is everything OK out here" but before Cold can say anything, the demon launches an obi slash right at the child's neck, Cold springs into action, leaping at the girl pushing her back in her room, taking a slash to his own arm in the process.

Cold steps back outside the room but gets sent flying down the coredor into his room by another sash, he stands up as the Demon jumps towards him.

"Hinokami Kagura, Sunflower Thrust"

Cold thrusts his sword forward meeting the belt head on in a bust of solar flames. Appearing to sear the belt.

The demon immediately flings another obi sash at Cold smashing him through the wall across to another building, he looks forward at the demon staring at him through the hole in the wall, stood next to the box where Generic is sleeping soundly.

Cold leaps across the building and begins trading blows with the Upper Rank demon again, defending each sash one by one

"Hinokami Kagura, Flame Dance"

Cold launches a powerful downwards strike at the demon forcing her to lean out the way, he follows up with a horizontal attack aimed just below the young girl who is being held in the sash cutting her loose.

The demon takes a step back in genuine pain, her sash struggling to regenerate.

"Clever move, distracting me to cut her loose"

Suddenly multitude obi belts erupt from the floor below throwing Cold through the ceiling, the woman demon jumps in the air after him this time sending 4 obi belts in his direction simultaneously, Cold does his best to deflect the continuously blows but the demon appears above him smacking him flying back into the ground.

Cold lies there winded, he has done well up until now but is currently outmatched, he jumps back up to his feet but doesn't know where the demon is

*meanwhile*

Levy is running across the buildings looking for any sign of the Rookie slayers, she stumbles across the house where Ilancc was staying, she creeps inside sword at the ready, she accidentally walks into the scene of a young girl ready to be sold away to an old man, the scene enrages Levy, Levy screams and scolds the old man for ever being so disgusting,

"Mind your own business you tramp, find your own toy and get out of my sight" the man scowls, Levy snaps and she grabs the old man and slams his head against the wall and throws him on the floor.

This noise is enough to alert ilancc that something is going on, he grabs his mask and swords and runs upstairs expecting to find a demon, instead he sees Levy comforting the small girl and the man on his back up against the wall holding his head in pain

"Is everything.. alright?" Ilancc asks genuinely confused, Levy turns "Oh there you are, I belive I know the location of the demon, but i can't for the life of me remember where it is", Ilancc walks up to Levy and whispers something in her ear.

The pair walk up to the old man "TELL ME HOW TO GET TO THE TANAKA HOUSE FROM HERE" Ilancc yells at the man, pointing his sword directly at the mans windpipe "DIRECTIONS NOW" he yells, Levy cheering behind.

*meanwhile*

DumbRedditer is walking alone around the bustling streets of Freakytown, watching all the beautiful women waving out the windows he feels overloaded, but his keen nose detects something strange, a smell of burning coming from a few miles away, a new smell but a familiar one, the smell of burning demon flesh, DumbRedditer truest to run but can't, he is forced shoulder to shoulder with everyone around him, if he were to try to get to the rooftops, everyone would see him clearly.

*meanwhile*

Cold and The demon are still fighting, Cold is getting tired and the demon is getting frustrated, Cold can do nothing but hold on until the others arrive.

"Hinokami Kagura, Setting sun transformation"

Cold leaps over the demon and attempts to slice her neck from behind but does nothing but cut her hair before landing on one knee behind her, he goes to turn around but a belt slaps him in the face launching him no less than a quarter of a mile landing on his knees, the demon barely in his view.

The demon laughs manically from a far "how pathetic, you made me think with your confidence you might been a hashira" she pauses before appearing right infornt of cold belts dragging through the ground ready to tear him to pieces but you ended up being nothing but a good meal"

"Hinokami Kagura, Flame wheel"

Cold Blitzes past the demon cutting her arm off in the process, the demon screams as she launches more obis from her back aiming at Cold, who is still mid air.

"Hinokami Kagura, Clear Blue Sky"

He slices through more belts, causing more agony for the demon and he lands planted on his feet, his face cold and robotic.

The demon turns with a bitter look on her face, but the look on Colds face reminds her of something, her brain flashes to it but she loses the image almost immediately.

Cold stands sturdy, sword in one hand, watching the demon closely.

"Hey, that was an impressive string of moves you had right there, but dont get ahead of yourself." The demon snarls at him.

Cold spits on the ground in anger "Nothing about this is impressive, I shouldn't even be here, I should be at home, with my family, but instead I've had to throw my life away, I've seen so many lives lost"

The demon gets that same vision, this time more clearly, a demon hunter, with a pink face, stood above her, sword ready to strike a killing blow, the words echoing throw her head, could these be Master Bitzans memories?

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD" she screams, in a flash obi slashes fire out in all directions turning buildings to shreds, Cold watches as belts fly towards him, so fast it seems like infinite number, it's inescapable.

Cold flinches, closing his eyes, unable to block the onslaught, but the attack doesn't hit.

*SLASH*

A spurt of blood erupts from infront of cold, it's his sister Generic, she jumped down and tanked the attack for him, the wounds are deep, but she is a demon and can heal her wounds.

In a roar flames erupt from Generics blood, sending flames down the obi slashes burning the demon.

The demons flesh burns and tears away, she swings her obi slashes to try and fan out the flames, Cold rushing in for an attack. Generic trying to put their own body back together.

The place is a wreckage, men women and children are crying, injured and needing desperate medical attention, the Demon in a fit of rage reaches out with both sashes and grabs 2 people and begins absorbing them rapidly to regenerate.

"Hinokami Kagura, Raging Sun"

Cold launches 2 swings at the demon, one cutting off one of the sashes freeing a human, but as he attempts the second strike he is forced to block a counter attack, one so fast it would've torn his body in 2 had it hit him.

Cold flies back, smashing into a wall, he watches as the demon gets closer and closer to absorbing the second human, he stands up and tries to rush in.

The demon smirks, now no longer burning.

"Blood demon art, 8 layered obi slash"

Cold watches as multiple long sharp belts appear above him, it's inescapable, an the human is nearly dead and there are countless more who are going to be caught in the crossfire of this attack, Cold watches helplessly as he is forced to defend himself....

Until...

A glistening sound appears behind him.

"Love breathing, 3rd form, Catlove Shower"

In an incredible speed Levy leaps from the rooftops and slashes all the Obi belts almost beyond vision. She lands comfortably infront of cold, with a look of anger on her face.

"Beast breathing, 2nd fang, Slice n Dice"

Ilancc leaps at the demon from the side, slicing off the Obi belt seconds before it hits the woman, he flips over the demons head landing on the building opposite.

End part 1

Once again apologies for any grammatical errors.

Cold wakes up, panting and huffing after a long drawn out battle with Lower moon 1 Cryptic, he is in an open field after the Cryptic Train derailed, he shoots up scanning his surroundings, it's dark, but he can just about see an unconscious DumbRedditer and Illancc pulling people out of the wreckage.

He continues scanning for the hashira, Acro, he was fighting alongside, he sees his sister, Generic lying resting after a hard fought battle, he turns around in a sigh of relief...

As he turns there is a lound bang. A shockwave flies out launching a cloud of dust at at Cold, a tremor rumbles through the ground, the intensity pinning Cold to the floor, he crawls back up to his feet, his sword chipped and heavy, still he fights through his muscle, barely making it to his feet.

As the dust clears, he sees a figure standing before him, Cold inspects this figure, trying to learn anything he can and that's when he sees it, the eyes...

Written deep in the figures eyes, Upper 3, Cold is stunned, his whole body frozen in fear, he had barely defeated the former lower rank and now an Upper rank is stood before him, Acro is nowhere to be found, what does this demon want.

Cold prepares to swing his sword...

"Hinokami Ka-"

Swoosh, the Demon jumps at Cold with speeds he's never seen before, the Demons fist is millimeters away from Cold, but he hears a chain whistling towards him.

*Clank*

A chain flies over Colds head slamming down an axe cutting off the demons hand.

Cold stumbles back as the demon leaps back too.

"Tell me, why would you attack the boy" a deep voice utters

"A-Acro" Cold mutters as he turns, his eyes, glistening.

The Demon smirks "wow, nice speed you have, are you a Hashira?"

Acro stays quiet, slowly approaching cold, swinging his flail as he moves forward.

"My name is Ncc, im the Upper rank 3 in the 12 kizuki" the demon gloats

Acro buts in "i can see who you are and frankly i dont care, I'll ask you again. Why attack the boy"

Ncc looks taken aback by the disrespect "I was testing him, I wanted to see if he was worth my interests, but i can tell he isn't, I honestly dont know how he managed to survive this long with reflexes like that, perhaps he is blessed with some divine armour from the gods, either way I dont care, he isn't worthy of my interest, but you on the other hand, that speed, that intense presence you hold, thats a worthy opponent. Why dont you become a demon like me and hone your skills together with me for eternity".

Acro's face pops with veins "that's enough, quit spewing your nonsense, I would never give up my humanity, what example would that be setting to these honourable young children who have fought along side me today".

Ncc smirks, "Oh, it seems you're still under the illusion you have a choice" he slams his leg to the ground and takes a fighting stance.

"Destructive Death, Compass Needle"

Acro spins his flail as the pair jump at eachother Acros axe clashing with Ncc's forearm, Acro swings the flail but the demon leans back out the way before it hits

"Stone breathing, 2nd Form, Upper Smash"

Acro throws his flail up in the air and then stops on the chain leaving a hole in the ground, the flail falls rapidly at Ncc forcing him to jump in the air to escape the blow, the impact of the flail hitting the ground sending shivers through his body.

"Destructive Death, Air Type"

Ncc punches the air around 10 times, Acro is confused until he feels the impact of one of these punches hit his hip, almost breaking it, Acro swings his chain blocking most of them but taking some blows to his muscles causing minor damage.

"Stone breathing, 4th Form, Volcanic Rock, Rapid Conquest"

Acro runs at Ncc swinging his Axe and Flail whilst constantly moving forward, The upper rank sustains some damage and the flail blows a hole in the Demons shoulder.

However the demon immediately regenerates and counters.

"Destructive Death, Disorder"

The demon punches back at a faster speed than before, Acro halts his assault and is forced to defend.

"Stone breathing, 3rd form, Stone Skin"

Acro roots himself to the ground. Swinging his chain all around him in a 360° motion, the attacks colliding in a Beautiful flash.

Cold watches on, Dumb redditer has come to and Ilancc is also watching, Dumb Redditer screams at Cold "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WE NEED TO GET IN AND HELP"

He drags his leg across the floor and gets into his fighting stance

"Thunder Breathing, 1st form"

but Cold grabs him "Don't, you know you'll die in there" Dumb redditer looks up at the Hashira and Upper moon clashing at speeds he's cant travel, Cold knows deep down, when they were fighting the lower moon before, they weren't keeping up with Acro, he was holding back...

Meanwhile as they fight, Acro seems to have the Upper hand, wounding the Upper rank a few times

"Destructive Death, Ten Thousand Leaves, Flashing Willow"

Ncc jumps in the air slashing his fist in the ground forcing Acro to jump into the air, the punch sending an earthquake through the ground knocking over trees.

Ncc follows Acro into the air.

"Destructive Death, Leg Type, Tremor stomp"

Ncc launches a powerful downwards kick sending Acro flying into the ground leaving a crater.

Acro opens his eyes, winded and in agony, Ncc just falls to the ground.

"I must admit, youre a powerful warrior" his wounds healing casually as he speaks "become a demon and you will definitely make it to the Upper ranks, your fighting spirit is immense, your skills need to be honed and you can be the perfect warrior"

Acro grits his teeth and sits up, climbing to his feet, he picks up his flail and swings it faster and with more heart than before.

"Good, stand, let's fight" Ncc grins.

"Destructive Death, 8 Layered Demon Core"

Ncc jumps forward again, launching 8 punches, each more powerful than the last, Acro blocks the 1st, then the 2nd and the 3rd, but the 4th pierces his defences, tearing off flesh from his shoulder, the 5th breaking a rib, the 6th smashing his eye, the 7th bursts his eardrums and the 8th sends him flying across the field.

Acro stays standing and answers back.

"Stone breathing, 1st form, Serpentine Bipolar"

Acro jumps back at Ncc, his Axe and Flail crashing in from both sides, Upper 3 blocks with both hands and the weapons keep crushing in on his head, The demon ducks under and leaps back at Acro, Acro meets him head on

"Stone breathing, 5th Form, Arcs of Justice"

Acro Barrages Ncc forcing him fully on the defensive form a moment, Ncc sees the first signs of sun over the horizon, he had to finish this now.

Ncc takes a lot of damage from the barrage but regenerates fairly quickly, he sees Acro preparing to take a killing blow, the flail bombing down from above.

"Destructive Death, Annihilation Type"

The demon regenerates both hands in an instant and charges up ready to unleash a huge shockwave, Acro continues his assault.

The two attacks collide as both of Ncc's hands meet the flail head on, there is a huge flash of light but the flail cracks...

And then it explodes, thousands of tiny pieces of Nichirin shrapnel erupt everywhere like a Huge nail bomb sending a shockwave piercing the demon hundreds of times, the force is enough to tear holes in trees and Cold, DumbRedditer and Ilancc gets cut by stray flying pieces of Nichirin metal.

But it hits Acro too, his Haori is torn to shreds and he has cuts everywhere and is covered in his own blood, meanwhile Ncc stands up healing already, pieces of metal falling from his body as he regenerates.

Acro kneels defeated, his body is bleeding out, and he has minutes left, his lower body is destroyed and his muscles torn to shreds, Ncc watches as the surise closes in minutes away and turns and walks away

"This is a fight ill remember, it's sad you will never reach what you were capable of"

But Ncc senses something and before he knows it, a chain is wrapped around his neck pulling him back into the sunlight, Ncc struggles but can't move. He feels the chain tighten, strangling him, digging into his flesh, this isn't the danger.

The sun is almost a minute away and he is being pulled back, the chain is wrapped too tight for him to get his fingers under and use his superior strength, Ncc panics, he can't lose, he is an Upper rank, did he play around too much, the mere thought enrages Ncc, the struggled ensues as Acro begins pulling Ncc back.

Ncc here's chanting behind him

"Namu... Amida.. Butsu..."

"Namu... Amida.. Butsu..."

"NAMU AMIDA BUTSU..."

Ncc can already feel the warmth of the sun about to rise.

"Destructive Death, Disorder"

The demon launches an attack at the ground launching him in the air using his own shockwaves, the chain slashing his neck but not deep enough to cut it off as the chain snaps on his durable neck.

The demon runs into the forest at top speeds Cold can't perceive.

Cold rushes to Acro, seeing him in critical condition

"ACRO, HOLD ON, MEDICS ARE ON THEIR WAY" but by the time they reach him, Acro is bleeding all over the floor, cold kneels in front of him grabbing his hands trying to be supportive, he can utter only a few words "Be safe, Be strong and you WILL achieve anything"

Acro's eyes close holding Colds hand as he take his final breath.

Cold collapses to the floor, DumbRedditer and Ilancc stood behind him in shock, How can such a powerful man like this die

"I SWEAR TO GOD, ILL HUNT YOU TO THE END OF THIS EARTH IF U HAVE TO" Cold screams, unsure if the demon could even hear.

DumbRedditer kneels beside Cold, wanting to offer support, but he bursts into tears himself before he can get a word out, Ilancc still stood to stunned to think.

Acro dies with honor and Cold will never forget how he was so willing to sacrifice himself for Him.

Acros body is transported to the Corps headquarters, he gets buried in the garden, his Funeral attended by hundreds of corps members.

The End

Grrrrr how dare you have your own opinion

It doesn't have to be one or the other folks

Also shinobu lit saved the verse btw 🤡

Plskillmeplsdoit please dont hang me rengoku is a chad but this is a stupid constantly reiterated point i see i want to address it

Apologies for any grammatical errors in advance its 1am and I've been at this for an hour straight

2 years BBoS(before beginning of series)

On a freezing winters night. A Kanoe called Lonely Age wanders alone into a forest, reports show there have been numerous mizunoto squadrons sent their only to never return, Lonely walks in anxious but determined, he has been training relentlessly to face a strong opponent and it seems he might finally get it.

As he creeps deeper into the woods the trees thicken to the point the moon is nowhere to be seen, it's unsettling, walking through cobwebs, hearing nothing but a gentle trickle of water and mud squishing against his feet, he walks into a clearing and sees an incredibly large tree with webs hanging all over it, atop the tree is a figure.

"Oh? Someone else has arrived" the voice mutters, peering over the large branch looking down at Lonely, "how rude of me" the voice steps off the branch but instead of falling, a single string from his fingertips gently lowers him to the floor, revealing a bloodstained kimono "Whats your name, Are you a demon hunter? You seem to be".

Lonely remains composed at the sight of the demon, not wanting to let his deep fear slip out he draws his sword and readies it as the demon touches the ground.

"Oh, forgive my manners, My name is Shot-Post, you a-".

Lonely cuts of the Demon, leaping for his neck.

But the demon vanishes before his eyes, Lonely is off balance and falls to his knees, he hears a voice behind him "Perhaps you didnt hear me the first time".

The sound of a whip cracks as Shot Post swipes at Lonelys back with his Threads tearing at his Haori leaving him bleeding.

Lonely turns his head and sees the demon hovering above him, face shadowed in rage, eyes glowing in the moonlight, horrifying Lonely, but thats not the worst part.

"Now answer me, you dont want to end up like your friends here do you"

Shot grabs Lonely by the hair turning him and with the moon shining, he can see what he couldn't before, that gentle water dropping, was the sound of his comrades bleeding from the trees and the mud, a mixture of flesh and organs of innocent people, torn to shreds, all these people, some of whom he passed final selection with, all dead to this single demon.

"You cant possibly think you stand a better chance than all those people, i mean you're clearly not a hashira, but if you give up, im sure HE can be convinced into making you a demon".

Shot post looks in horror and sickness trying to come to terms with the evil that has taken place, he snaps.

He beats Shot-Posts hand away and stands up.

"Water Breathing, 2nd form, Water Wheel"

He leaps at Shot again, this time only with more precision and speed, slicing into the demons shoulder was Water erupts from his blade.

Lonely lands comfortably this time and turns ready for the next attack, but the attack is already there.

"Water Breathing, 4th Form, Striking Tide"

Lonely counters as Shot launches razor sharp threads relentlessly from his fingers each one etching closer.

Shot post has a look of genuine rage on his face.

"Blood demon art" he says bitterly "Cutting Thread Cage"

A sharp cage of webs appear from every direction and it appears Lonely is trapped, Lonely remains composed despite the fact he's barely surviving each attack.

"Water Breathing, 6th form, Whirlpool"

Lonely counters with a 360° attack of his own, but it's only just enough, Lonely loses his pinky finger and gets a small gash on his shoulder and the threads fall on him cutting him like broken glass.

He struggles to remain standing heaving trying not to vomit he looks up ready for the next exchange but gets punched in the back of the head and tumbles downhill, barely missing the pile of bodies.

He claws his way back to his feet but shot is waiting there for him, he swings his sword as it his neck...

It snaps.

His sword snaps in 2 on the demons neck.

Shot laughs "Oh, did i mention, your blade was never going to work on a kizuki like me"

He reveals his other eye, the number 5 written deep in his pupil by non other than The Demon King.

Lonely keeps fighting and exchanging strikes with the lower moon but he seems outmatched.

The lower moon kicks him in the stomach sending him flying on his knees.

"It's a shame it had to end like this" the Kizuki laughs.

"Blood demon art, Cutting Thread Rotation"

Lonely can do nothing as he watches hundreds of thick red razor sharp threads floating towards him.

He thinks back to everything he has done, passing final selection, all the work and this is what it has come too.

Everything he wanted to achieve after The Demon King was defeated will never happen.

But thats not how a hashira thinks is it!

He takes an enormous breath in, recalls every step to the move he is about to perform, he has tried it hundreds of times and has always been incapacitated by it, but that doesn't matter now.

He flips back up

"Water Breathing, 11th Form, Dead Calm"

He closes his eyes, relaxes his body in a way that shouldn't be possible and feels the air around him move, he swings his sword and prays.

And then he opens his eyes, he cut all the threads, he did it, the perfect defensive tool in the most decisive moment, but the fignt isn't over, the blood rushes to his legs and he almost passes out, he has just enough strength to move forward towards the baffled lower moon.

"Water Breathing, 10th Form, Constant Flux" he screams squeezing every muscle in his body just to stay conscious.

He darts forward, Shot reacts launching his thickest threads at Lonely, but Lonely keeps cutting through them.

"Blood Demon Art, Murderous Eye Basket"

Threads surround Lonely closing in again

"Water Breathing, 11th Form, Dead calm"

He keeps moving forward as the threads fall around him again as if they never touched him.

Shot backs up into a tree not paying attention as Lonely approaches, a dragon roaring from his blade, Lonely swings at the Lower Moons neck again and this time

With a slash the blade cuts through like butter, the Lower moons head tumbling to the ground

Lonely falls to his knees in disbelief, he defeated a member of the 12 kizuki by himself, his crow sits on a tree branch crying both tears of joy and relief.

Lonely Age is a Hashira

So a short analysis of everything I've done for this sub so far

Firstly, im the reason you all got custom flairs, your Kabumaru top 5 flair, cuz of me, your Rengoku solos flair, my doing, I am part of the reason you're all able to be so expressive and individual with your flairs

Secondly, after this post of mine, people started posting their own agenda tier lists and people still do occasionally, but i was the first guys 🫠

Then obviously the war between me and bit which was all the server was talking about for like 2 weeks straight, i had the entire server slandering this man and making memes about it

And also idk how many of you uncs were here for Scalers as Characters, a multi week long series that got the community talking and closer as everyone was glazing their friends

And also peace day literally started cause me and Bit said we were both 10s that post got people even closer and I was ALSO the one who made the iconic image of us all together on peace day

Then the bracket tournament that levy is rerunning in which I had my opponents voting for me

And after Yogurt vanished I was the one who made him a funeral and tried to hunt down maksim for his crimes

Also I COINED THE TERM SCHOLARSTEIN OK

and not many of yall will care but I also got the most upvoted Bumnemi slander

Cold is goated but the difference can't be THAT large guys :'(

Also for the mods: Rengoku nearly beat akaza
