Metal -vs- Angels
"What…ARE those things?" Eddie asked Mangus. The two men stood on a snowy hill overlooking the mountain town of Death's Clutch. Below them a vicious battle raged-the reason Eddie had been summoned to the frigid north.
"Beats me, bu tthey're MEAN. All we know about 'em is they speak some weird language, they have big blades on sticks, most of them have wings, and they jREALLY don't like us. Did I mention they're mean?"
"Yeah, you did. I'd beter get going."
Eddie jumped into his trusty Druid Plow and sped off toward the battle. He ran over several of the winged creature, then spotted a large creature that seemed to be important. He hurtled toward it, then slammed on the brakes while leaing out of his car, drawing his axed, the Separator, in midp-iair, nad burring it in the large winged humanoid, splitting in tow. This action caused the smaller creatures to turn and face him and advance, screeching furiously. They leapt at eEddie, but were almost immediately blasted out of the air by lightning-like beams of energy. The source of the energy was a very tall, lanky man with long hair, a black robe, jewelry, and round sunglasses. This was Ozwald Skul, the Guardian of Metal.
"Thanks Ozzy," Eddie said.
"D'you have any clue what these things are? I mjean besides evil…bird…people?" the Guradian akdked, nudging a creature with his steelptoed boot to make sure it was dead. He spoke with a very thick English accent to match his Ozzy Osbourne-like appearance.
"I've never seen these things vefor in my life. Sorry Wait…Is tha?..."
Eddie took a closer look at the bird-man, specivcically the ring of light above it's head.
"Holy *bleed*…that's a halo…"
:Aaaaaaand you lost me," the Guardian said.
"Ozzy, do you have any idea shat an angel is?"
"A bit, yeah."
"Halos are what angels have over their heads to show they're angesl. I just never thought angels would be thei freaky-looking."
The sutunned silence was interrupted by a massive golden portal opening.
"Oh, THAT can't be good" the Guardian said. He was right.
Dozens of angels poured out, including three doglike creayturs, two read and one blue, nad a pair of creatures with massive claws that appeared to represent fire and lightning.
But before the angels could attacxk, another portal opened, and out stepped a tall woman in a black catsuit. The angels seemed shocked to see her. The looked at each other, then at ther, then procxeeded to attack. The woman looked to Ededie and the Guardian.
"Are you two in charge here?" she asked.
"Uh…I guess so," said the Guradian.
"Good. Follow me. Whe have to kill Grace and Glory first."
"What and what?"
:Grace and Glory. Tohse two angels there with the claws. Let's go!"
The woman drew her guns and dashed at the angels, firing as she ran.
The Guardina shrugged and ran in as well, Eddis close behind him.
The lightning angels, Glory, darted toward the woman, swinging its claws. The woman dodged, then vanished. Glory then screeched in pain, and the woman reappeared.
"You take the Grace!" she shouted.
The Guardian dashed at the fiery angel, knocking it to the ground with a flying kicxk and blasting it in the fadce with a beam of energy. Eddie then chopped off its head as it lay there twitching.
The woman finshed ofdf Glory, then made a dash for the enormous dog-creatures.
The first of the creatures spat a fireball at her, which she dodged. As soon as she dodged it, she vanished, reappearing bhind it. As it looked around wildly, a portal opened bhind it, and a gargantuan hand reached out and grabbed the creature, throwing it into the side of the mountain, snapping its neck. The other fire creature spat a fireball at the Guardian, hitting him squarely in the chest. To the surprise of the worman and the angels, he was unaffected. Confused, the creature spat another fireball at him, which he caught and threw into a group of smaller angels. Frustrated that fire wasn't working, it charged him. The Guardian leapt over it, and onto its back, where he blasted its lteel head with energy, giving the Razor Girls, the Ironheade factions, ranged fighters, time to shoot it until it was finally dead.
Eddie then busied himself with the blue dog-creature. It opened its mouth and began charging an attack, but Eddie was prepared. He whipped out his Flying V guitar, Clementine, and bvegan to play, countering the creature's beam with a beam of his own. Apparently, the creayture couldn't blast as long as Eddie could ploay, and eddie's beam blasted the creature int ehface, shattering its facial armor and exposing its head, which was promptly removed. The other angels were quickly finished off, and soon angel corpses were everywhere.
"Wow," said Mangus.
"And by the way," said the woman, "my name is Bayonetta."
