Chapter's 3 pages short but I'm gonna do something Pokemon related now, take a break from this. Tell me what you think of the armor design shown below.
"TAKE THIS!" Gibril shouted, launching herself at Zonda, shooting a pillar of blood out into the ground to stop herself when she saw the girl shine with a pink glint. "Holy crap that was close." She dropped to the ground, the pillar turning back to blood and going back into her bloodstream. "So you can make copies, huh?" She realized as Zonda disappeared.
"Yes," The real Zonda said from behind her, Gibril's ears hearing the cocking of a lot of guns. "I can do a lot more than that too. Watch." The second she said that, Gibril formed a shell around her body as she was buffeted with gunfire from all sides. "So much more." she said, standing right behind Gibril. Before the redhead could react, she was pierced straight through the stomach by a pink crystal blade. "I can teleport anywhere."
"R-really?" Gibril got out through the pain, her blood leaking out of her stomach wound, which she used to form a blood whip to attack Zonda, who effortlessly caught it in her hand, wincing when the blood shot out in her palm and pierced it straight through. Like Gibril thought, this was a clone too, shattering and causing the blood to splatter onto the ground. "Of course." Gibril recalled the blood back to her body and regenerated completely. "This is bullshit! How am I supposed to beat you if have goddamn Dragonball Z powers?!"
"I do not know what this 'Dragonball Z' is, but I can assure you I am being fair and balanced, and I am not holding back" Without her prompting, Gibril's shell shattered, leaving her face to face with Zonda. "She's not fighting back. Why isn't she fighting back?"
"Oy boss lady!" The perverted Teseo abomination shouted. "This is a test, remember? She's supposed to be showing off, not you!"
"Oh. Silly me." Zonda jump-floated a good twenty feet away from Gibril. "I apologize for my impertinence. Please, do 'show off' as it were."
"YOU BITCH!"The redhead screeched w launching at Zonda with teeth bared to take a bite out of her. "YOU'RE GONNA REGRET TAKING ME SO LIGHTLY!"
"I will?" Zonda asked curiously, tilting her head to dodge a spear of steel aimed at her face. "I'm not sure I will." The spear turned into blood and fell on Zonda's arm, coating the side of it and piercing her skin slightly. "What's this?" She got her answer as the blood instantly turned into steel, peneterating her pores like an invasive root. "Oh I see." She pricked her skin to gain access to her bloodstream and then used her Septima to connect her own blood to hers. "Very clever." Zonda said with approval, her face for once matching up with her tone. "And I'm feeling woozy..you infected me I see."
"YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I DID!" Gibril yelled, closing in on Zonda, her blood flying to her teeth and bathing them in it, hardening into steel and making her already inhumanly sharp canines shaper. "NOW STAND THERE AND LET ME TAKE A BITE OUT OF YOU!"
"Alright." Zonda waited until Gibril's metal coated teeth came within an inch of the hair on her skin and...did absolutely nothing as the savage girl tore through her skin and ripped her head off of her spine.
"Daayuum!" Girl Teseo whistled. "She got you good!"
"Indeed." Zonda said next to her, completely unharmed as Gibril angrily ate one of her clones. "It's just like one of those old documentaries from the early 2000s about predators. She's even growling like one of them."
"Yeah, I know!" Girl-Teseo whispered in amazement. "She wasn't this grody the last time I saw her! Just look at her go!" The two watched the girl chew through the clone for a few minutes. "Like, aren't you gonna get rid of that thing?"
"She deserves a reward for showing such ingenuity." Zonda answered. "How is your fight going?"
Girl-Teseo winced. "Not too good..."
Teseo prided himself on his information gathering.
"SOUL BODY!"
His Septima, Hack the Planet, made him one of the most powerful Adepts alive, especially in this post apocalyptic era.
"SOUL BODY!"
He could literally be anywhere in the world, bring things into cyberspace and vice versa. Bring the digital world to life, bring the real world to his digital realm! The possibilities were limitless!
"SOUL BODY!"
So as he was shot repeatedly into the ground, his lab coat filled with holes, hair singed, skin tinted with the scent of plasma, he wondered where this went wrong. "This sucks!" He shouted, flying away from the X clone in the grey and white bulky armor and giant fist-gun thing, only to be blindsided and bitchsmacked by a white and blue flying X with wings on his back and into an X dressed like a ninja who shot shurikens at him. "YOU OP MOTHERFUCKER!"
"Aren't you going to help him?"
Girl-Teseo rolled her eyes. "He's got like five backups, he'll live. By the way, she's finished eating you and now she's coming for us."
"DIE!"
"Indeed." Zonda said as she calmly walked towards Gibril "That was a nice break." A pink wall appeared in front of Gibril. The girl had enough sense to stop in place, producing bloodspears out of her feet to propel herself over the barrier before recalling the blood back into the holes at the bottom of her feet and closing the wound. "Once again, impressive." She twirled around the blood spears that shot from Gibril, raising up a pink barrier as spears shot out of the spears in the ground. "Your powers require great sacrifice and yet you have made a great safety net with your weakness." Gibril's blood pooled out from the pores in her feet as she came down, coating her feet and turning into spiky steel. Zonda watched as more and more blood pooled around Gibril's feet as she descended, before turning into a block of metal twice as big as her body. She teleported out of the way as Gibril crashed into the ground, making a large heavy crater.
"I GOT HER!" Gibrl yelled happily, using her Septima to bring Zonda's blood into her..only for it to fail. "What?" She looked around in a panic. Where'd she go?!" She turned the steel back into blood and absorbed it back into her body, forming a shell of metal with it on her back. "Where'd she go?!" It was then the original kicked in. "I got this, that bitch is dead!"... "Look, I'm the one with the power, you just-"... Gibril sighed. "Fine, we'll try it you way..." Gibril's body temperature began to rise, and rise...and rise...and rise...until her very skin began to bubble, steam coming out of the blisters that formed.
'Oh I see.' Zonda thought, having stood behind Gibril a good foot away. 'She's heating the water in her blood and letting the steam out through her skin.' Zonda was in a very slight pickle for the first time in this fight. 'I should have copied Teseo's Septima and it's infrared propreties.' The steam began to cloud her vision, Gibril's Sumeragi eyes glowing in the fog. With a feral scream, Gibril launched at Zonda. She simply sidestepped out of the way, falling on her butt thanks to Gibril kicking her in the knee on the way. Gibril then tried to punch Zonda, only to meet a pink barrier that caused her immense pain when hitting it.
"DAMN IT! WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING?!" Gibril yelled as her face regenerated back to it's peachy smoothness. "THOSE STUPID BARRIERS KEEP-"... "Oh. Well that makes sense." …. "Hey, I just ate shit and ran around an obstacle course, this is the best I could do!" … "You know what, fuck it, we're gonna try this one last thing! It doesn't work, I'm calling him in!"..."Oh cool. Alrighty then!" She looked towards Zonda. "Hey, creepy bitch! Ya wanna see something cool?!"
"Yes?"
"GOOD." She had plenty of excess blood left, and best of all, if worst comes to worst, this next bit should override whatever stupid thing they did to her that was blocking her off from X. she kept her eyes on Zonda as she began gathering her energy.
Player ID: SuperTeseoAWSM33
Date Created: IDK/LOL/WYLTK
Current Status: TOTALLY FUCKED! SEND HELP!
Teseo nearly screamed as his help message failed to get out. His Septima created world was crumbling, and soon it's occupants would return to where they were in the hallway. His injuries were severe, having been subjected to that OP bullshit Soul Body technique, which according to his files on the robot wasn't supposed to hurt him so goddamn fucking badly!
"Can you find him?" He heard one of the clones said to another.
"No, and the world's collapsing. But I can pick up Gibril's signal again!" Teseo's heart skipped in horror. How did he do that?! "I'm going to go help her out. You guys take care of Teseo!" The clones shouted 'Roger!' as Teseo's Septima told him that X had teleported out.
'What the hell kind of hardware is this guy running?!' He was a Reploid from the Maverick Wars, back when they were so stupid their combat Reploids suffered memory repetition when acruing a large amount of damage in a short amount of time, which according to his research happened a LOT! 'I gotta warn Zonda, this guy's stronger than we-" Suddenly he froze. He couldn't move, couldn't think, he wasn't even aware of his surroundings, and if he was he would be confused as to how everything got covered in a photoshop filter.
Zonda had to admit, this was cool. She had been testing Bishop Candidate 2 and was very impressed by her prowess. Her violence would have to be directed at the proper targets, but she was close to being accepted into Eden. Now if she only had a trump card..
"Instinct conquers all.." Zonda raised a brow, waiting for the inevetible attack."Instilling new agony.." Would she witness more self mutiliation, or was Bishop Candidate 2 do an all or nothing attack? "Yet bliss transcends pain!"
"Wait a minute.." Girl Teseo narrowed her eyes. "That looks familiar, what is she-" Her eyes widened as she realized what was happening. "Oh wow.. Hey boss! Pay attention!"
A pink, decorative book appeared in front of Gibril. Staring at Zonda hatefully, she opened the book and began to read from the book. She began speaking faster, and faster and faster until her words became lleglible, not that her two foes could understand it when she was speaking at a normal speed. When she finished, she let out a howl as her body was enveloped in a dark aura surrounded her, causing the steam to dissipate and imbuing her with new powers and a set of armor like those of the Mahou-Kenshi unit wore. A black bodysuit covered her body, her feet coverings bright red and shaped liked hiking boots, with metal shoelace like decorations in the middle. A short, smooth red skirt was around her midsection, the top of her body covered in a red cloak that went as far as her stomach and the tail end of her spine, the hood of the cloak darkening her face slightly to give her a more menacing look. Her hair had turned a blood red, long braided pigtails framing the sides of her face and reaching to her stomach. Her chest armor was smooth and circular, a large hood shaped vent in the middle that expelled air with her every breath, and said breathing had been intermingled with the occassional canine-like snarl. Large, red gauntlets covered her arms, with grey canine claws on her fingernails, and lastly a large wolf tail swished from behind her. The transformation was complete, and Zonda clapped enthusiastically at it. "Yeah, clap all you want bitch!" Gibril snarled. "When I get through with you, you're gonna be spending the next eight hours in my colon!"
"So how'd you get the armor little red?" Girl-Teseo asked, "Sumeragi would notice if one of their Grimoires went missing."
"Pfft, like I'm telling you." Red steam came out of her vent. "Let's just get this over with!"
ERROR ERROR! UNIDFENTIFIED USER! ACCESS DENIED!
X, clad in his Force Armor, nearly screamed at the 12th attempt to bypass the protection circuit failed. Teleportation technology was leagues ahead of him, to the point that he needed to go physically into the transmission signal to physically break through the protection. "This is getting me nowhere." X said as he watched the security door reassemble itself. "Teseo's vitals dropped below satisfactory levels, his Septima should have dissipated." But that wasn't the worst part. "I use too much of Soul Body.." Even with the Force Armor at full power during the Repliforce Incident, Soul Body was too much even for the armor's perpetual energy generator for his Special Weapons. It was worse here since Soul Body's ability to confuse even the strongest of computer systems, especially when it was charged, and right now most of the energy of Soul Body was being used to find and restrain Teseo, and his HUD was telling him that their energy as well as the energy for the Dark Hold, was about to run out. "Time for round two I guess." X said as he shifted to the Ground Dash, his armor turning brown and aiming his Buster at the physical representation of the firewall. Charging the weapon, causing the rock projectile to form and grow. At 100% he fired at the firewall...only for it to bounce off of it.
"LOL, nice try!" Teseo said as he appeared floating above X. "Your little Naruto clones didn't-" He was then hit by the bouncing rock, falling to the ground and being crushed by the rock. "Owww..." Teseo and the rock disappeared, the boy reappearing above X and rubbing his back. "Geez, that weapon hurt!"
"...It did?" But this thing barely did jack squat against his foes! "Good to know." His armor reverted back to it's natural color. "So you got away from my Soul Body clones, huh?"
"Yep! They disappeared right as they were about to find me!" Teseo shook his head mockingly. "Batteries too weak?"
"Yep." X said as he began charging energy, his armor turning light purple.
Teseo laughed. "Too bad for you then! You're gonna pay for making me look like a-"
"SOUL BODY!"
Teseo shrieked and put up green energy shields to defend himself from the clones. He looked around and sighed with relief as he saw none of those clones. "Whew! I hate those-" He took a good look at X. "Wait, you weren't that color when you used that!"
"Yeah. AIMING LASER!" A large reticle appeared over Teseo as a green beam shot form X's buster, bypassing Teseo's defenses and frying hm.
"DAMN IT!" Teseo let out a scream of fury as X began charging again. "HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?! YOU'RE A BUCKET OF BOLTS, I'M STRONGER THAN-"
"AIMING LASER!" X yelled again, frying the young teenager. "Of course you are. You're also arrogant and you underestimated me severely. You didn't think I'd notice that you were only fighting at half strength, for one."
"H-how?" Teseo got out, his clothes in tatters. "I put my vitals behind a lock, you shouldn't have-" His eyes widened. "You hacked me."
"AIMING LASER!" X yelled again, frying the teenager once more. "Just as you were hacking me. A cute attempt to be honest." Those firmware updates the Armor Capsules gave him. Still wished it got rid of that voice command requirement for the Repliforce and Eurasia incident weapons, but what are you gonna do? "It's what I was using to make those clones as well. I'm only telling you this now because you probably just fortified your defenses after realizing this."
"I see.." Teseo said, gigglng madly, the sudden change in attitude putting X on alert. "Well you're right. That explains why I was feeling like a newb stepping into an MMO for the first time." He fixed him a deranged look, one that X had been familiar with. It was the look of a lunatic with a wounded ego, desperate to fix his pride. "You got me good, you bucket of bolts, I'll give you that! But this is the last time you're gonna kick me around!" X narrowed his eyes as Teseo's posture and expression showed the arrogance he had before their confrontation. "Teseo's got a big surprise for you!"
To the average person, it would seem that a young girl and a blonde child of indeterminable gender vanished entirely, but Peckerzeus wasn't average person. He had managed to get one of his parasitic ticks on the red haired child before she disappeared with the Eden agent, and the information the tick was showing him was quite interesting indeed.
"They're about 40 miles from here." He said. "Should I bring them back?" …. "Very well."... "WHAT?!" Peckerzeus let out a squawk. How could another Eden agent be here?! "And I didn't detect him why?"... "Very well. Changing course." He flew into the air and down the hall until he came across a ventilation shaft. Stretching his talons as far as he could to his chest, he spat on them repeatedly, coating them in a thick mucus that quickly dried. He got as close to the vent as he could and turned 360 degrees, his mucus covered talons allowing them to stick to the ceiling before gravity smacked him to the ground. He shout out three bugs from his wing that flew into the ventilation shaft, opening it from the inside and allowing him to get in. "Let's go." He could not let this Eden agent get to that blue haired brat before he could get his tick back!
