Inuyasha Maximum By Ten-Faced Paladin Chapter 2: Hear me Howl
Sango, atop of Kilala with Kagome, hurled her weapon at Grandscythe with all the force she could muster. The weapon had insane speed and deadly accuracy. The Predacon was distracted by his ongoing battle with Inuyasha so he didn't quite see the incoming threat. As Inuyasha took another slash at him, Grandscyhte leaped back to avoid it. The Hiraikotsu blindsided him and took him entireley by surprise. The impact made a metallic ring as Grandscythe was hurled into a tree by the force of the impact.
"Ugh," the Predacon growled. "I'll have your head woman!"
Sango smirked as she caught her returning weapon. She was used to hearing threats like that. It was nothing new to her.
Grandscythe shook his head to get his optics working normally again. He gripped his blade rings as he steadiedd himself. It was becoming very clear to him just how powerful the natives on this planet really were. When he clenched his right hand around his ring, he realised that he had dropped the purple crystal that he had found inside the large creature's head. He quickly activated his scanners and began looking for the crystal.
Kagome glanced down at the battle field and she suddenly sensed the jewel shard again. It wasn't in Grandscythe's hand anymore. He had probably dropped it when Sango had hit him with her weapon.
"Sango!" she said to her friend. "We need to get down! He dropped the jewel shard!"
"Right!" Sango nodded and Kilala began descending to the ground.
Grandscyhte didn't have to wait long when his scanners found the crystal. It gave of plenty of energy on it's own, not to mention that it was a unique energy signature as well. He began to walk towardsit when the large feline and the two women came to the ground. The younger one got off and began running towards the crystal. Grandscythe growled as he pulled back his left arm.
"I don't think so!" he roared as he hurled his blade ring at her.
"Kagome!" Inuyashha cried.
"Kagome!" Sango and Miroku gasped.
"Look out!" Shippo cried.
Kagome was frozen as she watched the twirling blade came spinning towards her. She thought she could see ehr life flash before her eyes. It was in that moment that after all she had been through, today was the day she was going to die.
'I didn't even get to say...' she thought before she was cut off.
In that moment, a gray blur shot out of the forest and tackled kagome to the ground. The blade just continued flying over them before turning around and returning to Grandscythe's hand. He was far from happy.
"Mangy wolf!" Grandscythe hissed.
Kagome blinked before looking up and seeing a large gray wolf standing between her and the Predacon.
"Is it one of Koga's?" Sango asked Miroku.
"It must be," he replied. "I don't think just any wolf would save a human."
Grandscythe could be seen just fuming with anger. He then suddenly adopted a confused look as he seemed to study the wolf for a minute.
"Wait a moment," he muttered. "No heartbeat, no inner biologic components, which means... robot in disguise!"
Kagome gaped as she gazed at the wolf which had saved her life. Her shock grew when she saw the wolf smile. Not one like Grandscythe's, just a confidents smile.
"You got that right Predacon," the wolf grinned. "WOLFANG MAXIMIZE!"
The wolf stood on it's hind legs as two blue metal legs came out of his hindquarters and attatched to the wolf legs. It's sides folded out to become thigh guards while the front folded out to reveal two blue metal arms with black metal hands. The wolf's head split in half to become shoulder guards and revel a new head that was inside of it. The new head was blue except for the visor-like black face that had two green eyes that were revealed.
"Another one?" Sango gasped in surprise.
Inuyasha gripped the Tetsusaiga tighter. One metal man was bad enough, but two? Miroku had the same sentiment while as he rested his hand on the prayer beads which held his wind tunnel at bay. Grandscythe didn't seem impressed.
"Humph," he snorted. "Wolfang was it? Obviously a Maximal."
"Got that right," Wolfang replied. "Activated to kick your Predacon processer outta here."
Grandscythe smirked as he gripped both of his blades. And prepared to strike. Wolfang bent his knees slightly as he prepared for his own attack.
"Inuyasha, guys." Wolfang spoke. "I'd rather not do this alone."
None of the close friends were sure how the blue metal man learned their names, but he was probably going to be a better ally than the green one. Inuyasha just sighed and readied the Tetsusaiga agin. Miroku stepped forward with his staff at the ready. Sango and Kagome also readied themselves for another round of fighting.
"Do you fools really think that you can beat me just by adding a new friend?" Grandscythe smirked.
"I think they can pretty much beat you without my help," Wolfang laughed. "If what I was seeing was any indication anyway."
"Then put your credits where your mouth is!" Grandscythe roared.
With a thrust of his arms, Grandscythe let his blades fly towards Inuyasha, Wolfang, and Miroku stood. Their points danced in the light as they flew closer.
"Hiraikotsu!" Sango's voice roared.
The large boomerang suddenly ripped into everyone's view and crashed into the ring, effectively stopping it while returning back to Sango. The second ring was met by one of Kagome's sacred arrows. The arrow burst right through the ring and shattered it.
"My blades!" Grandscythe cried.
Inuyasha and Miroku made the next assault as Inuyasha rasied the Tetsusaiga over his head. Wisps of air circled around the blade.
"Wind Scar!" Inuyasha roared ans he slammed the blade into the ground.
Three streams of yellow energy ripped through the ground towards Grandscythe. It was now Grandscythe's turn to be surprised at the sheer magnitude of the attack.
"By the matrix!" Wolfang gasped.
Grandscythe didn't allow himself to be surprised for long as he regained his sensed. He leaped to the side as the stremas ripped right past him. He looked back to see three gashes, side by side, etched in the dirt. Grandscythe looked back forward to see Miroku a few feet ahead of him. He was gripping the beads wrapped around his right hand.
Miroku didn't waste any time as he yanked the beads off of his hand and pointed it at Grandscyhte.
"Wind Tunnel!" he called as the force of his cursed right hand was unleashed.
The rubble on the ground was the first to be sucked into Miroku's right hand. The demon carcass was the next to go. Finally, the black box that Grandscythe came out of drawn in. Grandscythe was on the ground, gripping it for all it was worth.
"A black hole in his hand!" Grandscythe cried. "How is that possible!"
Little by little, Grandscythe was being pulled into the Wind Tunnel. He glared at Miroku and noticed that his remaining blade ring was behind the monk. A smirk appearing on his face, Grandscythe reached his arm out as if trying to reach the discarded blade. The ring then began to shudder as Grandscythe seemed to concentrate harder on it. The ring then jerked straight out of the ground and flew straight at Grandscythe, with Miroku in it's way.
"I'll cut that arm off!" Grandscythe roared over the roar of the Wind Tunnel
Kagome was the first to notice the ring flying at her friend.
"Miroku! Watch out!" she cried.
Miroku glanced behind him and saw the blade spinning at him. His eyes widened as he wrapped the beads around his hand and dodged to the side. It wasn't quite fast enough sinc the ring sliced into his shoulder as it sped past.
"Gahh!" Miroku cried as blood spurted from his wound.
Granndscythe caught his blade ring as he stood up again.
"Almost had me," he smirked. "too bad."
Wolfang tensed as Inuyasha growled while raising the Tetsusaiga again.
"I've had enough of you!" Inuyasha roared as he ran at Grandscythe with Wolfang right behind him again.
Grandscythe hurled his blade ring at the two in an attempt to get them away. Wolfang detatched the wolf's back from his and used it as a shield. The metal shield knocked the ring away while the two of them continued forward. Inuyasha raised the Tetsusaiga while Wolfang drew a weapon that seemed fashioned after the Wolf's tail.
"Wind Scar!" Inuyasha roard as he struck the sword into the dirt.
"Lobo Blaster!" Wolfang called as he fired a black missile.
The two attacks flew straight and true at their target. They actually combined as they struck to create a huge expplosion which knocked both Wolfang and Inuyasha into the dirt. Grandscythe could be seen hurtling through the air as a giant fireball into thee distance. It had also left a large crater.
Wolfang dug himself out of the ground and looked at the destruction. He seemed rather embarrassed about it.
"Uh...oops," he muttered.
Inuyasha stood up and shook himself off. He just smirked as he sw the result.
"Now that's how to get it done," he laughed.
As Wolfang began getting the dirt out of his joints, Shippo finally cameout of his hiding place and bounced over to him.
"Hey metal man?" he asked innocently. "Who and what are you anyway?"
Wolfang looked down at the fox child and kneeled down to afce him.
"Me?" he asked. "My name's Wolfang. I'm a Maximal."
"A Maximal?" Sango's voice asked.
Wolfang and Shippo glanced and saw Sango walking towards them.
"Yeah," Wolfang nodded. "That pile of scrap that we just got rid of was a Predacon."
"What's a Predacon?" Inuyasha asked, jumping into the conversation.
"Maximals and Predacons come from the planet Cybertron," Wolfang explained. "We aren't from this world."
"You're an alien!" Kagome cried in amazement from where she was treating Miroku.
"That's one word for it," Wolfang sighed. "To say it bluntly, neither side likes the other."
So you're at war?" asked Miroku.
Wolfang shook his head, "No, the fighting stopped with our ancestors. We just tolerate each other. Barely."
"So why are you here?" pressed Sango.
"I dunno," Wolfang shrugged. "I just came online with an out cold wolf demon next to my pod and a battle not too far away. I inspected it and here we are."
"Oh my gosh," Kagome gasped. "Koga! I forgot about him!"
Kagome stood up and ran to the forest to retrieve the wolf demon. Inuyasha growled in annoyance, but he didn't say anything more than that. Miroku just stood up while he readjusted his shoulder to be more comfortable.
As Kagome appeared with Koga walking stiffly beside her, Wolfang's body began emitting blue sparks and small bolts of energy.
"What the-?" Wolfang grunted. "I thought there wasn't any energon on this world. Oh, well. BEAST MODE."
Wolfang's body folded as he became a wolf again. Shippo quickly took the opportunity and perched himself on his back.
"Hey Wolfang," Shippo spoke. "How did you know Inuyasha's name if you never seen him before?"
"Well," Wolfang began. "I scanned Koga and got my wolf form from him. I think I must have picked up some of Koga' thoughts and memories. Like the mutt for example."
Koga smirked as Inuyasha growled again.
"I like this guy," Koga smirked.
The friends all smiled in some level of amusement before Wolfang looked up to them.
"Do you think I can travel with you guys?" he asked.
Kagome was the first to answer, "I guess so. What with no other Maximals around. What do you guys think?"
"I think that would be a wise idea," Miroku smiled.
"Some new company would be nice," Sang agreed.
"A friend as cool as him?" Shippo smiled brightly. "Absolutely!"
"As long as he can fight then I don't care," Inuyasha snorted.
"I guess we're all in agreement," Kagome smiled.
"Thank you very much," Wolfang smiled, his tail waging.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In a swamp a good distance away from the friends, Grandscythe slogged through the murky waters in his beast mode.
"Stupid Maximal, filthy half-breed, baka ningen," he cursed.
He didn't know where the last one came from, but he knew it was still an insult.
"They'll see," he growled. "Once I get some more Predacons on my side, they won't know what hit them!"
To Be Continued
A/N" There's chapter two. Grandscythe got his ass kicked and Inuyasha has to deal with another travelling companion. The next chapter is more of a cooldown one. Expect the normal Inuyasha craziness. Sorry if you think this sucks, but I was running on empty here
