Requiem of Destruction (1x1 with DarkMudkip)

Hidemune was struggling to put the training equipment away one day after everyone had finished their daily routine. He was so exhausted, he could barely put one foot in front of the other.
 
Minehime had been helping Hidemune, but was moving a bit more slowly than usual, like she was being extra careful around Hidemune. "Onii-chan, I can put the rest of this away, why don't you go sit down?" She asked.
 
"It's ok, Mini, I've got it...!" He smiled, though it was strained. He continued to try and carry everything as Mitsunari approached.
"What's taking so long?"
"Gomen, Mitsunari-sama..." Hidemune apologized.
 
Minehime felt her back ache once more at Mitsunari's voice. She looked over at Mitsunari with a small frown, her heart beating faster.
 
Minehime dropped the equipment she was carrying, rushing to Hidemune's side. "Onii-chan!" She felt anger prick down her spine. "Why would you do that?! Can't you see he's working himself to death!" She had turned on Mitsunari, glaring through tears.
 
Something inside Minehime snapped into place with those words, her eyes widening. A sonic boom exploded around them and stirred up a dust cloud that covered them all. Electricity crackled in the air around them, and a monstrous roar erupted from the dust cloud before something slammed into Mitsunari.
 
A dark shape crouched feet away from him; wings broke through the dust as it settled, and it was finally revealed what had rocketed into Mitsunari. A torn kimono was being worn by a hideous beast, sharp spines going up its spine and to a head of long black hair. The being looked vaguely human, the limbs still retaining a human-like look, but they were covered in scales and spikes, tipped with sharp claws. The head looked less human, but still had patches of flesh; the mouth was a horrid mess of teeth without any lips, and the eyes could turn any man to stone. One was completely white, stretched slightly while the other was enlarged, sclera black and a blue reptilian eye focoused on Mitsunari. The beast let out a low growl, saliva dripping from its fangs as it opened its mouth wide. Electricity charged between the needle-like teeth before the ball of electricity was fired off at Mitsunari.
 
Mitsunari barely managed to dodge, gripping the hilt of his blade before charging at her at lightning speeds. He moved to take out one of its wings in hopes of crippling it.
 
Mitsunari's blade went through the beasts wing with ease, the leathery appendage landing on the ground with a thud. Almost instantly, the wing begain the regenerate, and now it was its turn to attack. Lunging for Mitsunari, it dug its claws into his chest and stomach, sinking her fangs deep into his shoulder with a deafening screech.
 
Mitsunari actually cried out in pain, grabbing the thing by its haor to try and pull it off. "Mine...hime...." Hidemune wheezed, eyes unfocused, "Y...Yamerou..."
 
The creature stopped when it heard Hidemune speak, its eyes moving to look at him, slowly releasing its grasp on Mitsunari. She pushed him away and flew over to him, making a sad clicking noise as she reached a hand out slowly.
 
It seemed that Minehime was no longer capable of human speech, letting out a soft whimper, pulling her arm back and looking down out of shame. Her thoughts were clouded as well, but one thing rang clear in her mind: protect Hidemune.
 
Minehime clicked softly, gently helping him sit up, letting him lean on her for support. She had seemed to calm down to a point where she was coherent enough to understand Hidemune.
 
Minehime screeched, trashing and fighting to free herself from the chains and nets, but they were too heavy for her.
 
They dragged Minehime off, ignoring Hidemune's yells and screams for them to release her. They took her to a dark cell in a cold room deep underground and left her there.
 
Minehime screeched and roared, firing off blasts of electricity at the walls and the bars to the cell, but they seemed to be protected by a magical barrier.
