THE ATTACK

BY Johnbosco (Jay Kvng) Iloegbunam

In the heart of the temple cave, Yami, the deity of darkness, summoned
Akuma, a powerful demonic being. The air was heavy with anticipation
as Yami's voice echoed through the cavernous space. "Akuma, I sense
the presence of Sora Yukio, the balance keeper, in the mortal realm. Hunt
him down and bring me his powers," Yami commanded, her eyes
gleaming with malevolent intent.

Akuma bowed, her horns gleaming in the dim light. "As you wish, Yami. I
will not fail. But tell me, what makes this balance keeper so special?"

Yami's gaze narrowed. "Sora's powers are the key to unlocking a new
era of darkness. He has the ability to manipulate the very fabric of reality.
With his powers, I will be able to spread darkness across the land, and
no one will be able to stop me."

Akuma's eyes flashed with determination. "I will not disappoint you,
Yami. I will crush Sora and bring his powers to you. But what of the other
deities? Will they not intervene?"

Yami's laughter was cold and mirthless. "The other deities are weak and
divided. They will not be able to stop me. But to ensure our success, I
have prepared a little surprise for Sora. A gift to weaken him before you
face him."

Akuma's eyes gleamed with excitement. "A gift? What kind of gift?"

Yami's smile was sinister. "A dark artifact, one that will drain Sora's
powers and leave him vulnerable to your attack. You will find it in the
mortal realm, hidden in a temple dedicated to the ancient ones."

With a wave of Yami's hand, a dark portal opened before Akuma. "Then
go! Do not return until your mission is complete. And remember, Akuma,
I am always watching."

Akuma stepped forward, her presence disappearing into the shadows as

she embarked on her hunt for Sora. Yami's laughter echoed through the
cave, a cold, mirthless sound. "The balance of power is about to shift...
and nothing will ever be the same again."

Meanwhile, in Japan, Sora Yukio bid farewell to his loved ones, as he
went to was sent to Nigeria to look for the dark artifact, his heart heavy
with emotion. His uncle, father, girlfriend, and three friends gathered
around him, their faces etched with concern.
"I'll miss you so much, Sora," Emiko said, tears streaming down her face.

"I'll miss you too, Emiko," Sora replied, his voice filled with emotion.
"But I'll be back before you know it, with stories to tell and gifts to
share."

"Promise me you'll stay safe," Emiko said, her eyes pleading.

"I promise," Sora said, his fingers tracing the pendant in his pocket. "I'll
keep this close to my heart, always."

His friends, Tobi, Kenji, and Akira, chimed in, their voices filled with
humor and encouragement. "Don't forget to try some suya! And don't get
lost in the markets!"

His father placed a hand on his shoulder, his eyes serious. "Sora,
remember what I taught you. Stay vigilant and trust your instinct."

His uncle added, "And don't forget to try some egusi soup!"

As Sora stepped through the portal, he felt a rush of excitement mixed

with a hint of fear. He emerged on the bustling streets of Lagos, the
warm sun enveloping him like a hug. The vibrant colors and rhythmic
beats of the city assaulted his senses, and he felt alive.

As he navigated the unfamiliar streets, he couldn't help but think of

Emiko and the loved ones he left behind. He fingered the pendant in his
pocket, feeling a sense of comfort and connection to home.

Caption 2: "Little does Sora know, his journey is just beginning..."
Sora checked into the hotel, his heart racing with excitement and nerves.
He had finally arrived in Nigeria, ready to start his new life as a police
officer. But little did he know, Akuma had already tracked him down.

As night fell, Akuma appeared in front of the hotel, her eyes blazing with
fury. "Sora Yukio, you have something that belongs to me," she growled,
her voice low and menacing.

With a wave of her hand, she unleashed a devastating blast, destroying

the hotel entrance. Guests and staff scrambled for safety as Akuma
stormed inside, searching for Sora.

Sora, sensing the disturbance, rushed to confront the demon. His heart
raced as he charged into the lobby, his elemental energy coursing
through his veins. "Akuma!" he shouted, his fists glowing with power.

"You're a hard man to find, Sora," Akuma sneered, her eyes flashing with
anger. "But now that I've found you, you're not going anywhere."

With a fierce cry, Sora unleashed a burst of energy, striking Akuma with
a blast of earth and wind. The demon stumbled back, her eyes flashing
with surprise.

"You think you can defeat me with your little tricks?" Akuma laughed,
her voice dripping with contempt. "I am a demon, Sora. And I will not be
defeated so easily."

Sora gritted his teeth, his determination burning brighter. "I'm not going
down without a fight, Akuma," he growled, his fists glowing with power.

The battle raged on, with Sora and Akuma exchanging blows and neither
gaining the upper hand. But Sora was determined to come out on top. He
could feel the power of the earth and wind coursing through his veins,
and he knew that he had the strength to defeat the demon.

The battle between Sora and Akuma was a clash of elemental powers,
with both sides unleashing fierce attacks and counterattacks. Sora's
fists glowed with the power of earth and wind, striking Akuma with
blasts of energy that sent her stumbling back. Akuma retaliated with
waves of dark energy, seeking to engulf Sora in her shadowy embrace.
The lobby of the hotel was transformed into a battleground, with
furniture shattered and debris scattered everywhere. The air was filled
with the sound of crackling energy and the scent of ozone.

Sora's earth powers allowed him to create massive stone fists that
slammed into Akuma, sending her crashing into the walls. But Akuma's
dark energy powers enabled her to teleport short distances, making her
a formidable opponent.

As the battle raged on, Sora's wind powers kicked in, creating powerful
gusts that sent Akuma flying across the lobby. But Akuma's powers of
darkness allowed her to manipulate the shadows, creating shadowy
illusions that made it difficult for Sora to land a hit.

Despite the challenges, Sora refused to back down. With a fierce cry, he
unleashed a burst of energy that struck Akuma with a blast of earth and
wind. The demon stumbled back, her eyes flashing with surprise. And in
that moment, Sora saw his chance.

With a fierce cry, he charged at Akuma, his fists glowing with power. The
demon tried to defend herself, but Sora was too strong. He struck her
with a series of rapid-fire punches, each one landing with precision and
force. Akuma stumbled back, her eyes wide with shock.

Sora's final blow was a massive stone fist that slammed into Akuma with
incredible force. The demon let out a defeated cry as she crashed to the
ground, her dark energy dissipating into nothingness.

The lobby was silent once again, the only sound the heavy breathing of
Sora and the defeated demon. Sora stood over Akuma, his chest heaving
with exhaustion. He had won the battle, but he knew that the war was far
from over.

Earthen and her team, on patrol nearby, crouched in the thick bushes
close to the hotel, heard the explosion. "What's going on there?" Earthen
asked, her eyes fixed on the chaos before her. The hotel lobby was in
shambles, with debris scattered everywhere and the sound of crackling
energy still filling the air.

"Looks like a demon attack," one of her men replied, jokingly. But
Earthen's expression remained serious. She knew that demon attacks
were no laughing matter.

"Let's go," she said, her voice low and steady. Her team nodded, cocking
their guns and moving in a tactical formation towards the scene. They
approached through the thick bushes, their eyes scanning the area for
any signs of danger.

As they emerged from the bushes, they saw Sora standing over the
defeated demon, his fists still glowing with power. "Sora, what happened
here?" Earthen asked, her eyes scanning the scene.
