Animus Chapter 2: "I"LL PROTECT YOU!"
Water is being sprinkled by the sprinklers on the ceiling but the goons that were seemingly in some sort of invisible fire passed out. "I'll scout the area!" Said Vigilante in its mechanical voice and he disappeared into the surrounding.
All eyes were on the young ninja! As Kenji was smirking deviously, his thin black metallic armor reflecting lights off the monitors. "How was that ?" he smiled.
The mob-guy was pretty much shocked," His…voice…it seems familiar." He thought.
"Looks like you aren't in a mood to answer, huh? Oi! Wht aren't you answering? Don't just stare at me Tobe! Listen to me…." BANG!
Walter smacks Kenji's head," IF YOU WANT HIM TO ANSWER THEN LET HIM TALK DUMBASS!" He shouts frustrated.
"Oops!" Kenji sheepishly smiles, his sly side disappearing instantly, he then looked on to the Mob-guy, whose name we know now as 'Tobe' and said," Where's Aria?"
Tobe was speechless," How did this brat…? I cant let her be in danger!".
Walter was surprised too, Kenji knew more than he let on.
A gust of wind blew past him and Kenji was already behind him, the ninja's hand on his shoulder.
He grunted and pushed the ninja away, back-flipping towards a compartment nearby. Adjusting his glasses, he looked at his opponents, filthy teens and one robot or whatsoever, that crushed his henchmen, he was glad though except for that ninja brat, he was something off and he knew about Aria, he needed to be exterminated.
"Well…well…" He said calmly managing to catch Kenji and Walter off-guard.
Walter narrowed his eyes," You're in no position to be so calm, what are you plotting Tobe?".
"Now everyone knows my name I see." Tobe answered," I'll warn you! The ninja kid is the only threat for me here, so I suggest you get away Walter!" This statement caused the teens to be caught off guard, "You do know my name but you don't know the name I've been given…The Urban Samurai!".
Walter was taken aback," What the hell… Isnt the one that was taking out the Japanese gangsters, then why're you even…"
"I didn't want to get teen blood in my hands but if I don't finish you soon they will appear."
"Who's this "they" he's talking about?" Walter wondered but Kenji was giving a smile to himself.
On the left to Tobe was a big drawer which had two long handle-like projections.
Tobe grabbed them and pulled them out, revealing them to be swords, rather large ones. He launched at Kenji," Sayonara Kusoyaro!" He said in an accurate Japanese accent. Metals clanged as Kenji used his own swords to block his.
They separated with a metallic clang and lunged at each other again. Kenji seemed to have difficulty maintaining pace with him as sounds of swords clashing echoed throughout the room. Walter decided to help Kenji as he charged towards Tobe! Kenji jumped avoiding a slash and Tobe was about to follow but his feet were restrained by Walter's shadow.
He looked around to see a fist incoming towards his face! BAM! He was thrown back but he maintained his balance. Walter was standing there staring," Don't forget I'm here too."
"DIE!" shouted Tobe, zooming towards Walter but as he approached Walter simply evaded his strike and jumped back. "No! YOU DIE!" Walter said as Kenji came shooting downwards and hit Tobe's head with his right elbow.
Tobe couldn't properly react for seconds as his head was spinning and before he knew it he was sent flying into a by a concussive force thanks to Walter's shadows.
Kenji smiled happily," Had enough?".
Tobe struggled to get, grasping his knees and murmuring insults, but before he could say anything properly a flying door slammed into him again throwing him against the wall that collapsed on him.
Walter looked at the place where the door was previously, there was a boy with a mask on his face half-black, half-white but allowing his intimidating eyes to be seen. And his blonde hair standing out in all directions.
Walter was surprised as the air turned grim just by his presence.
"Looks like I hit the door too hard!" The masked man said, his tone oozing out dread. "Are you okay in there?" He said, still half his form was still in the darker areas and his presence making him seem so cruel and intimidating.
"So this…is the real fearsome assassin!" Walter spoke to himself in mixture of fear and hesitation.
"Hell yeah I'm okay!" Came the sarcastic reply of Tobe!," After all I'm buried in chocolates and ice-cream!"
[Dragon Ball Abridged reference!]
The assassin however excitedly replied back," Wow! Can I come in too ?"
A gust of wind blew by comically as Walter sweat-dropped," So this is the fearsome assassin?". "Even Kenji wouldn't…"He looked around and saw that Kenji already had stars in his deadpanned.
Tobe was really really irritated as he cursed his own luck," I'M SURROUNDED BY IDIOTS!" He shouted.
"Hey!" came the voice of Kenji who had a serious look on his face," I thought you were surrounded by chocolates and ice-cream."
Walter was dumbfounded while Tobe couldn't take it anymore! "HYYAAAAAGGH!"
He shouted in murderous rage but was interrupted as a figure was thrown in between them and landed with a THUD! Debris shooting in all directions because of the impact. All four of them looked down in surprise as they saw a battered and dented Vigilante there, unmoving.
"Wh-Who co-could…" uttered Kenji.
"THEY'RE HERE!" exclaimed Tobe in dread as he dropped to his knees.
"Who do you mean?" demanded Walter but he was unanswered. Vigilante's figure came back to life, it stood up slowly, electrical sparks around its body speaking about the damage it suffered.
Two silhouettes appeared through the entrance, a figure of a tall man and a tall lady. The lady said in her malicious voice as her figure was seen clearly, clad in a black suit and skirt with white shirt inside, she had pink hair reaching below her waist and her big bosoms attracting the reader's attention to her cleveage as if it were a black hole." Looks like you passed your time limit samurai!"
"Lets kill these runts and get on our way, the information about the stupid magical artefact being held here was wrong after all." Said the man, him too clad iin business uniform and long black hair giving him the appearance of an adult delinquent.
"Be careful! X and Y are a lot stronger than they look!" said a broken vigilante in its own mechanical voice.
"Wait!" shouted Tobe, "Sir X! Miss Y!" He addressed his superiors, " I can still take them down, even if it costs me my own life."
Y laughed maliciously,"Hehehahaha! You'll die anyway since you couldt even beat these little kids and like we promised men have been sent to kill your precious sister too!" Walter and Kenji stared at her in anger while the assassin was gaping, "OP-OPP-OPPAI! S-SO H-HUGE!" He drooled with his saliva even dripping out of his mask, which made Walter sweat-drop.
Tobe was in panic, he had to do something, or they'd kill Aria, he'd have to convince them somehow. Tears dropped down from his eyes as he dropped to his knees and shouted pleadingly," PLEASE! P-PLEASE NO! I DID EVERYTHING YOU…"
He was interrupted by a hand placed on his head, he looked up and saw it was Kenji, his eyes covered in the shadow of his hair, he walked forward slowly towards the new arrivals," Everything will be okay!" said he readying his sword, his back facing Tobe.
Tobe was speechless, the boy he was willing to kill a moment ago was now assuring him that he'd be safe?
"Aria is being guarded by uncle Raku!" Kenji said unmoving from his position," You might want to hurry to help him."
"You…YOU! ..." Tobe said sadly as he finally remembered, guilt overflowed from his heart and dropped down from his eyes as tears.
Tobe hesitated to run as he was still staring at the higher ranking officers! "GO! NOW! IF THEY COME TOWARDS YOU, I"LL PROTECT YOU!"
The assassin was taken aback," Hey Kenji! What're you doing letting him go?"
Kenji gave a light smile as he answered," Don't worry Xavier! It's okay!"
As Tobe was no more within sight, X cracked his neck," Enough with the pleasantries!" He charged towards Kenji their weapons rattling due to their strength," Quite good!" X said.
He charged towards Kenji but jumped backwards as he had to avoid a pillar of shadow rising from below. "I'm tired of saying this to many people on the same day but," Don't forget I'm here too." He smirked.
X retorted," Ahh! I see! You're that detective's kid! No more holding back! Get ready Y! And man! These suits hinder our movements!"
Walter was surprised to hear that so he asked, eyes still narrowed.
X hesitated a bit before saying," The Devil watched Men In Black a few days ago, I guess he was motivated!".
An awkward silence followed, Walter's face was devoid of any sort of positive emotion, "Is this some sort of a stupidity virus spreading to all beings whom I expected to be deadly?"
"Don't be so disheartened boy!" X said slyly," Enjoy your final moments! HYAAAA!"
He shouted as his muscles started bulging and began growing hairier, and he grew in size too. Kenji, Walter, Xavier and Magnus who was weakly trying to stand up stared in shock, [FYI : Vigilante has been renamed to Magnus T-4.0] and he grew and grew till he suddenly shrunk down to the form…of a puppy! –Reader: "What the fuck?"-
All others sweat-dropped while Y facepalmed.
Kenji then happily spoke out," Maybe he plans to kill us with his cuteness!"
Everybody fell overhead anime-style!
X cursed to himself," DAMN! I'm still not used to transforming."
Then he gathered strength and transformed successfully this time into a giant wolf-like monster. Kenji laughed awkwardly," I guess I was wrong!".
"I'll show you my wolf-fang fist!" X laughed maniacally! And he slammed his hand down on Kenji but Kenji avoided and jumped successfully hitting X's chin with his fist shouting "DON'T VIOLATE COPYRIGHTS! DAMMIT!".
Walter was on the verge of tears," When did this become a gag manga?"
"I think you should be more worried about me!" came the voice of Y.
Walter turned his attention towards her just in time to avoid the high speed rocks she fired. "Rocks?" He thought to himself.
"How on Earth did you…?" Xavier asked out loud.
Y floated in the air as debris was swirling around her left hand forming into rocks and mini clouds crackling with lightening were surrounding her.
"So you can control elements!" Xavier brought out blades from within his sleeves and charged at Y, which she caught with her hand and replied in a coy manner," Yes!"
Small thunder struck Xavier's blade which transmitted hundreds of volts across his body! He let go and back-flipped away from Y.
"Not just that I can control fire too! Ahaha!" Y laughed and formed a ball of fire in her hands.
Kenji saw this and shouted "NO!" but he was too late as a giant explosion rocked the room, BOOM! And everyone was thrown back!
"What the hell?" Walter complained as he got up.
Kenji smiled sheepishly, his face and a bit of hair still smoking, "You see! I earlier sprayed methanol to intimidate the enemy hehe! Didn't really think this would happen."
"Fuck you dumb ninja!" Xavier complained while Kenji pouted," Hey! Anyone would be excited to give out invisible flames!"
Magnus and Walter's eyes were however fixated on the seemingly dumb ninja.
"So he used methanol! That explains the invisible fire! Or did he use that to limit the enemy's arsenals?" Walter wondered doubting if the ninja had ulterior motives.
"DAMN YOU! BRAT!" Y stood up and the our heroes tensed, ready for any attack! Y shouted staring at Kenji, who took a defensive stance!" NOW TASTE…MY BOOBS!"
Kenji was literally stuck, like everyone else there,"Uhh… wha…"
Before he could phrase that Y's breasts swelled to almost twice the size. Kenji was now feeling awfully awkward," Wha-wha…" Y then immediately pressed the sides of her breast converging them together. A ball of extremely dense water formed right in front of her chest," Chatyaang: Water Canon!" she shouted as the ball was propelled forward at blinding speeds being propelled by a beam of lightning striking Kenji instantly blowing him into the wall with a huge explosion.
"Kenji!" shouted Xavier and Walter in worry.
"Looks like he's gone for good." Said X from behind while Y panted. The attack took a toll on her stamina.
"Nice one!" came a voice from the smokes as Kenji was still standing there, his armor blown into smithereens. He thought to himself," Darn if I hadn't created a shield at the right time with my jivaatma, I'd be blown like my armor. Still it did a lot more damage."
He was breathing heavily," My turn." He said almost silently, disappearing from view.
Y turned around to block his sword with her dagger, Kenji could feel her strength wasn't ordinary as he was nearly sent away by the blow. She threw out her right arm attacking him with her dagger but her hands hit nothing.
"Seriously…pink?" she heard a sound below as she saw a crouching Kenji looking up at her up-skirt view. She grunted and raised a pillar of rock intending to crush him against the ceiling but Kenji disappeared yet again.
He was already a few metres away from there and was laughing hard "Hahaha…"
But he was then pushed away by Magnus who shouted in a mechanical voice," Fight seriously! Dammit!".
And the large hand of X rammed down Magnus.
"Shit! I was gonna hit the kid but this tin-can got in the way".
Magnus was then crushed as sparks were seen around it, and was staying there unmoving lying on the ground.
"NO!" shouted Kenji as he ran towards Magnus. X was about to interfere but was interrupted by Xavier who began slashing his blades at him. Meanwhile Y was thrown backwards by a giant fist of shadow.
Kenji desperately approached Magnus, concern and curiosity all over his face. He slowly removed the parts of the armor that had been smashed. "I bet he's a famous billionaire." He grumbled to himself but was surprised to see beneath the cold exterior was a really beautiful girl, her red hair tied forming locks and a bit of debris still on her face which Kenji wiped slowly.
Kenji was stuttering even in his thoughts,"Sh-she is s-so beautiful, wh-why is she…"
"Kenji WATCH OUT!" came the voice of Xavier as X ran to catch the young ninja off-guard.
Kenji narrowed his eyes and grabbed her as tightly as he could glowing with white aura and he dashed in a white streak as he and Magnus were both enveloped in his aura.
X and Y were speechless for a moment unable to react as they watched an angry ninja staring at them. "Don't you dare…" Kenji spoke in a low voice, his pupils almost disappearing but the girl in his arms woke up suddenly and found her chest was being pressed a bit too closely with this glowing Kenji. She elbowed him in the chin and his aura simply disappeared. "OUCH! What was that for ?" Kenji spoke out comically. "Shut the hell up! You were the one taking advantage!" She spat out with irritation. Her eyes cold and emotionless. "Whatever!" pouted Kenji and took a defensive stance," Focus on him first, they are hard to handle…".
"Can you give me a sword from your pocket dimension storage?"
"Surely!" smirked Kenji as he threw a sword at her which she caught.
Y fired a beam of electricity at them but a Walter appeared in front of them and wall of shadow blocked it.
The beam did break past the wall but a dagger linked to a chain landed in its path and Xavier took the beam, the electricity flowed through him into the ground and he was smoked as hell but still did a back-flip and joined the group of young heroes.
"Hadn't thought they'd be so tough! Who's this hot-chick by the way ?" He smirked.
"Shut up and fight!" the red-head girl said coldly.
The ninja, assassin, detective and the vigilante all stared at X and Y who stared back at them.
"HYAAAH!"
Both team gave a battle cry as they charged at each other.
