Aldous: Long time no update!
A.D: It's just 2 days. Playing a bit of Skyrim!
Aldous: Seriously Skyrim is more important than us?
Telnure: Just get on with it!
Eve(points to Telnure): Who are you? Oh yeah, you're that Needless dude named….um…uh…Television! Yes?
Aldous: Oh man….
Please review!
Aldous looked around as he and Eve sneaked up the stairs, scouting out for any sight of hostiles. Apparently he could not do a very good job for the rubble blocked out light from several areas. Perfect spots for an ambush. "Feels like I'm some snake creeping around on some super-spy mission." Aldous mentally told himself.
Solid Snake in some place far far away: Achoo!
ALL: SHUT UP!
Eve, at the helm, guided herself through the rubble and eventually the duo found themselves on the second floor. " Yamada!" Eve began calling.
"SHHH!" Aldous tried to shush Eve. " Are you mad? Calling at a place like this?"
"What do you suggest? Search every nook and cranny? In this crumbling place?"
"Uh…..Ok…..YAMADA!" "YAMADA!" "YAMADA!" No response.
"Wait a minute….." Aldous mentally slapped himself. Of course, he won't respond.
"CRUZZZZZ!" Aldous now called. His real name…..
"Huh! Is somebody there?" Aldous and Eve heard a faint voice calling out under some rubble. As they removed the rubble bit by bit, a green-haired boy popped out, his hair a mess and his tattered cloak hiding a blue-green clothes set. "Eve-san!" The boy proceeded to try to hug Eve.
"YAMADA, YOU IDIOT!" Aldous watched as Cruz/Yamada flew into a wall, thanks to the flying twin-leg kick from Eve. "You went on a recon mission on your own! And you make me have to miss the next shipment of Super Gel Doro Doro to save your sorry ass!..." Eve continued ranting. Yamada just laid there, smiling as if he had been used to this for months now.
"So much for a stealthy extraction mission." Aldous sighed. "And remind not to get that girl angry….." Aldous watched as Eve chased Yamada about in some robot-like stance, her hands in the air, yelling at him that he owe her a Super Gel. "You guys, are we going or not?" Aldous finally intervened. Cruz stopped running and stared at Aldous. "You a new guy? Hi, I'm Cruz." Cruz extended his hand
Aldous smiled. A nice guy, huh? "I'm Aldous…." Aldous was about to shake his hand.
"And my name is Telnure!" Suddenly, Cruz was hit on the side. Eve and Aldous gasped as a black-haired punk-looking dude in what looked like martial arts uniform appeared. However, they weren't surprise at his appearance. They were more surprised by the fact that Cruz was hit when the guy was five metres away.
Like as if he had been hit by an invisible fist…
"…..the Hidden Fist….." Aldous gawked.
"Yamada!" Eve ran to Cruz's side. The blow seemed to have knocked him out.
"Target sighted…" The enemy giggled as he suddenly began to punching in the air.
"Oh…..shit…." Aldous had a bad feeling. "Eve! Get down!"
"No need for that! DOPPELGANGER!" Aldous watched as Eve's arm morphed into a large metal shield-arm, covering both her and Yamada from the invisible attacks.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Telnure seemed to have been hurt his fists. Then he smiled. "Just kidding…."
"Oh shit….I'm next…" Aldous thought. And he was right.
Aldous took the brunt of the invisible blows. It was like fighting Setsuna, except this time these aren't speeding fists. "The dude not even using his own fists. Then how….?" Aldous continued to fight on as he struggled to block the blows.
"Concussive force?"
Then Aldous remembered the Needless he had killed before. Then he remembered his father's words in the past. "There are 3 fundamentals to the Needless, not 1. But 3."
Aldous whispered them to himself as he dodged, using the rubble as cover. Eve meanwhile began to bring Yamada to the stairs, but a flurry of blows cut them off.
"One, a Needless can only have 1 fragment." Simple enough.
Eve's metal arm seemed to be holding. But something seems to be happening. Her arm is melting?
"Two, all fragments have a weakness."
Eve's shield then reverted to her normal arm and she quickly dragged Yamada behind some fallen concrete pillars as the rain of blows continue. Telnure, meanwhile, laughed maniacally as he seemed to conducting an orchestra. An orchestra of invisible punches.
"Three, no Needless that are not related by blood have the same fragment." The crucial bit. So this dude can't have concussive force. And it's not possible Telnure is the brother of the Force needless, else they shouldn't be separated. Aldous managed to get to Eve's side. She had taken a few hits but she was okay. "I need calories….."
Aldous was alone now. Eve is powerless and Yamada is knocked cold. And they are cut off from the stairs by a maniacal Needless. "Cold?" Aldous thought. Now he know what to do.
Telnure noticed the lack of movement. "Ha, probably making a plan behind the cover. Not gonna happen." Telnure walked around the cover. "Peek-a-bo….huh?"
Telnure gasped as he watched Aldous punched the ground to bits. The cold-frozen ground. The three Resistance members crashed through the first floor by sitting on the falling slab of ground from the second floor and just nicely landed on the same floor as the wormhole.
Explanation: Aldous used his heat-absorption to super-freeze the ground. When frozen to very low temperatures, the ground becomes brittle and few hits is enough to smash it. Hence they could ride the broken pieces of the ground like a sled and go down two floors to the worm hole .
Dragging Eve and Yamada, Aldous quickly threw them into the worm-hole. "They're safe now." Aldous thought. "And time to deal with this dude." If he lets Telnure use the wormhole, the Resistance Base will be compromised and vulnerable to Simeon attacks.
As soon as he said that, incoming blows came and he rolled out of the way. Telnure, sure enough, came running down the stairs, clearly angered. "Nice trick, Resistance scum. But I'll have fun beating you to a pulp."
Aldous continued to dodge as invisible punches smashed the ground where he used to be a moment ago. "This dude can only attack things in his line of sight." Aldous noted as he realized that Telnure couldn't attack them when they were behind cover.
As he dodged, Aldous analyzed his enemy's attacks. "Invisible punches, sight-based attacks….."
"And they all come from one direction. From him to the side of my body facing him."
Aldous grabbed a stone and threw it at Telnure as he dodged-rolled the continuous barrage. And the stone hit Telnure in the chest. "Argh…" Telnure felt the impact and the hits stopped. But not for long. Aldous quickly took cover again as the hits came raining down again.
"Strange….He should be able to see that coming." Aldous thought. "Now that I think of it…"
Lightbulb. Aldous knows what to do now. Gears in his mind now going on overdrive, Aldous quickly ducked out of cover. "Hey, Mr Telephone. Over here." Aldous taunted as he ran.
"You'll regret that mocking, kid." Telnure spat as he focused the blast at Aldous. Aldous grinned as he neared his target. A broken mirror. "Let's hope this works," He thought as he grabbed it.
Nimbly he trained the mirror in front of him and stopped running. Then something unusual happened. Aldous felt the hits. But just barely. He watched as the mirror reflected the 'fists' back at the ceiling above Telnure. "Why won't you….?" Telnure growled.
"Hey, Tele. Look up."
"Huh?" Telnure looked up and before he knew it, the weakened ceiling came crashing down on him. "ARGGGGGGHHHHHH!" Telnure felt his legs get crushed underneath the huge weight.
Aldous, taking his chance, grabbed Telnure at his eyes. "Dai-Yon-Ha-Do Version Agni….." Telnure screamed as his eyes began to burn and when Aldous was done, he used a bandage to cover up the horror that he had made.
"How did you know…" Telnure moaned as he began to lose consciousness.
"Well all I did was…Ah screw this…Let the author do it." Aldous sighed. "Please review!" Aldous smiled.
Question: Any idea what happened?
Explanation: This will be a lengthy one. There once was a Greek philospopher named Plato. He had came up with this theory: that light was emitted from our eyes, like old Cyclops. But of course we all know that is wrong. But this theory works on Telnure. Yes Telnure is a Cyclops. Then why can't we see these "optic blasts"? Telnure is no Angel-level Needless. He actually is an Prince-level and his fragment not only allows him to fire light from his eyes. He can also change the wavelength and frequency of the light to an extent. Do you know light is actually not just visible light but refers to the entire electromagnetic spectrum? There is actually light that we can't see with our naked eye. Such as infrared or microwave or radio waves. Yes all these are a part of light, just at drastically different wavelengths and frequencies .Hence the 'invisible fists'.
And using a mirror, one can reflect these waves just like light as long as the frequency or wavelength is not to drastically changed. And since Telnure is only a Prince, he can't change it that much but just enough to turn it invisible. Else, Aldous would have died.
One more thing, Aldous finally figured out thanks to the stone. Why couldn't Telnure see it or the fact that his light is reflected? This is because the only way you can see is when light is entering your eyes. For Telnure, light comes out of his eyes, so he becomes very blind, to the point that he can only barely see just enough to chase his opponent with his 'fists'.
Any more questions? Please put on a Review and I am sure to give an answer? Cheerio!
