Fighting Mummies like the Egyptian
BANG BANG BANG BANG
The sound of gunfire going off from Dante's guns as he is shooting down the mummy-demons that are surrounding him and the girls as they are slashing through the wrapping banged undead while they are quickly getting use to the newfound strength of their new armor. Despite being a little revealing for Claudette making her feel a little embarrass, she didn't care because all she can focus on is saving her younger sister Leina from that Desert Princess and the others feel the same way.
"Wow, I feel a lot faster than before like I could race a cheetah!" Elina proclaimed as she slashes and pierce through the demon mummies.
"I gotta admit, this does feel pretty good fighting these demons to death. I can see why you like doing these jobs more, Dante." Risty complimented as she spins in circle killing the demons around her in one mighty swing.
"Do not get full of yourselves you two, we still have to get to that pyramid and find Leina." Claudette reminded them of the mission as she slashes through dozens of the demon mummies.
"She's right, we have to break through if we want to reach the pyramid." Nanael agreed as she send her flying sword at blinding speed destroying more mummies.
"Then let's make haste, we can't afford to waste any time here!" Tomoe slashed through the mummy-demons while moving forward toward the pyramid.
"In that case, you girls go on ahead while keep these walking sandbags busy." Dante ordered as he pulls out Rebellion and starts slashing at the demons while shooting at some others.
"What? Are you crazy, we can't just leave you all alone with this many demon!" Elina gasped.
"Trust me girls, if there's one thing I know about Dante is that he always come out of tough situation like this!" Risty mentioned as she bashes away from demons.
"But…" Elina hesitated to leave a friend behind.
"Look, there's no time to argue, let just get to in there and beat the living shit out of the bitch!" Risty said before as she runs through the demons while attacking any that gets in her way.
"…Okay, but you better catch up to us when you're done here!" Elina demanded, knowing how sad Leina would be if Dante died here.
"Don't worry, a guy like me wouldn't leave a beautiful woman like her in a place like this!" Dante smirked before charging through the demons impaling few on his sword and beating up the others with the impaled demons as they each rips off from the sword.
"Honestly, that guy is unbelievable." Elina said, hiding a small smile before she starts charging.
She along with Claudette, Nanael, and Tomoe follow Risty's lead as they all join together in a formation as they break through the mummy-demons making their way to the pyramid running up the stairs and getting the doors open quickly getting inside.
"Alright, the ladies have left for the main event while I deal with these small fries. Try to entertain me some, okay?" Dante joked and gestures the demonic wrapping-undead to come at him.
They roar and charge at Dante as if they were thinking that one lone human can be a match for hundreds of them, even though they can't actually think for themselves most of the time, but what they didn't realizes is that they are dealing with the son of Sparda with strong demonic powers as he moves faster than the eyes can see slashing at the demons into pieces. Then he channels his demon energy into the sword and unleash a power flying slash attack slicing through the large group, he took out his two guns also channeling demon energy as he fires one bullet each as they destroy some of the demons straight through and fire a few more shoots as well.
Three mummy demon did manage to stab as one did with both its hand-like claws at Dante right in the back as the other two attack on both sides making him gasps for an instant before he just went back to his usual cocky face.
"You know, I've been having trouble with my back lately, and that 'massage' just did the trick." Dante grinned.
Before the demons could react Dante spins around fast with his sword outward slicing the three mummy-demons off as he jumps high about 20 feet in the air, and he turns himself upside-down pulling out his guns pointing them at the remaining mummy-demons then starts spinning again while firing his bullets at every demon below him. Literally making a raining bullets, all the demons got shot down as they try to run away or find cover, but it was all pointless in the end as the last demon tries to escape, but Dante lands on the demon smashing its head beneath his boot.
Dante looks around seeing there are no more demons to fight meaning he's done for now, for there is still that so-called Desert Princess, Menace, was it? He honestly didn't care about the names of the demons he killed even though he remembers some of them, maybe, but right now he needs to catch up to the girls hoping they will find Leina by the time he finds them.
"I hope they save some of the fun for me, I was hoping for more of a challenge." Dante said as he starts walking toward the pyramid.
But after just taking a few steps, the sandy ground starts to shake softy, then the shaking became harder and suddenly bursting out of the sand a giant cobra snake screeching-hiss at the sky before looking down at Dante with a vicious stare seeing his next prey to swallow whole.
"Oh, we got ourselves a plus one. Well then, let see what you bring to the party." Dante excited as he held Rebellion out.
(Meanwhile, with the Girls)
After getting inside they ran through a long hallway not wanting to stop for anything unless there might be Egyptian theme demons popping out of the walls at any time, but so far nothing happens which was worrisome for the girls.
"This place is really creepy, it's like one of those horror mummy movies." Elina weirded, remembering some of those movies she mentioned with Nyx which scares the daylight out of them.
"Except this is the real deal and the boss monster is that princess bitch." Risty pointed out.
"Do not be afraid, Elina, if you allow fear to take control then you might as well be done for." Tomoe lectured the armored cat girl.
"Well, excuse me for being worried, do we even know where we're even going?" Elina asked, worry that they might get lost here.
"I can sense the strongest demonic present here, must be Menace since this is her domain." Nanael informed.
"Can you tell where she is?" Claudette asked, seeing a split end coming up.
"Hmm… turn left." Nanael said.
And they went left though they soon hit a dead end, one the right side there what appears to be some hieroglyphs.
"Are you sure you got that right?" Elina doubted the Angel warrior.
"You dare question an Angel? I sense the demon energy coming through that wall!" Nanael snarled.
"That would mean there's a secret passage we must find, perhaps these symbols may tell us." Tomoe stated as she looks at the hieroglyphs then turns back to the group.
"Do any of you know how to read hieroglyphs?" Tomoe asked. Unfortunately, they shook their heads and shrug in response.
"I think my class were about start learning some Egypt history next week." Claudette recalled what her history teacher said.
"I was too scared to pay any attention some of the history parts in the movie." Elina confessed.
"I was bored of the history we watched in my class, so I ditched the joint until I came back at the last minute before the bell rang." Risty confessed, not regretting that time.
"Sometimes I wonder if you're taking your classes serious." Claudette glared at Risty.
"Sorry to say, but I can't read these things either. I got a low grade back when I was an Angel in training." Nanael confessed.
"Wow, I guess even Angel have it rough." Elina said.
"Tell me about it…" Nanael sighed.
"But I do wonder what this picture is supposed to be, it looks like all mess up." Elina pointed at the strange-looking picture above the Egyptian writing.
"Although, I think some of those symbols might not what they appear to be." Risty said, confusing the girls until she pointed at one of them.
"Doesn't that bird like odd to you?" Risty asked.
The bird symbol look like any other, but then Claudette notice something as she leans in for a closer look and she found it.
"It's the wing, the shape of the wing is a lightning bolt instead of a bird's wing." Claudette said.
"Hey look, there's another lightning bolt over there!" Elina pointed at a symbol that's a lightning bolt, then they notice some lightning symbols all around.
"That's very odd, what could this all mean?" Claudette asked.
"Maybe it's about you, Claudette." Nanael said.
"Me?" The red hair warrior confused.
"Yes, Menace must've set up this for you because you power is base on the element lightning." Nanael figured.
"But why would she want to do something like that?" Elina confused.
"Maybe it's because the Claudette from the past beat her ass before and probably some other times, and now she wants Claudette to settle the score once and for all." Tomoe guessed.
"So, it's revenge she wants, huh?" Claudette said, she understood that Menace wanted payback from the battle of her previous life centuries ago, but it makes her wonder how she'll be able to stack up against the woman who may have gotten stronger now.
She heard from Nanael that the Thunder General from the past is one of the strongest warriors in the country or maybe perhaps the world battling against an army by herself and facing other strong warriors too, she hopes that with all the training she did, she'll be able to surpass her former life. Claudette has been training hard with the girls to push themselves to master the power that was sleeping deep inside of them, now she will have to put that training to the test and her first real battle will be against Menace who kidnapped her younger sister.
"Alright, I think I know what to do." Claudette said as she holds up her sword and emits lightning spark around the blade.
She places the sword on one of the lightning bolt symbols and that lit up in a bright-blue light then all the other bolts started lighting for a few seconds, and suddenly the picture above started to change as some of the pieces have moved around until they fit into the proper place. Soon, the picture started looking clearer as it shows of two women standing next to each other like they're close friends or more like sisters.
"Who's that?" Elina asked.
"I remember her, she's Anarista. She was Menace's mentor and adviser who was like a sister, but in reality, she was a spy Sadler Kingdom have the Amara conquered. Anarista trapped Menace in the slave quarter where she died, and her kingdom was no more." Nanael explained the history of that woman.
"Ouch, it must've been hard for her to betrayed by the ones you trusted." Risty commented.
"Yeah, she blamed her for the downfall of her kingdom have wanted to restore it even now though it would seem she also works for this new Master." Nanael said.
Then suddenly, the wall in front of the girls opens revealing a new long path, and they see can a staircase at the end.
"She's straight ahead, guess she wants to settle things personally with you." Nanael stated.
"Then let's not keep her waiting." Claudette said before she walks in the hidden path with everyone following her.
Soon, they made their way up the stairs and found themselves in a large room where there are torches lit up with fire and at the end in the center lays a large golden chair with a red soft cushion, and the one sitting on that large chair is none other than Princess Menace herself.
"Why, it's been a while since I had any visitors, right Setra?" Menace asked her flying, talking scepter servant.
"I would about… 50 years ago when some mafia gang came here trying to escape from the police, they were a bunch of boneheads, but they did make good servants with the muscles." Setra recalled chuckled.
"You know, there is a thing called learning from your history or you're doom to repeat it. Kidnapping Leina to make her your slave again, you just can't let of the past, can you?" Nanael disappointed in Menace's plan.
"Oh, my naïve little angel, I did in fact learned my lesson from the past with the help. Thanks to the help from my Master who put me through such brutal training that was far worse than Hell itself, my power has become more powerful than ever!" Menace shouted as she burst of a spiked demonic aura and sending shockwaves.
"Holy fuck! She really stronger than when I last saw her!" Nanael gasped.
"It's almost one of those anime villains with insane power to backup their words." Risty grunted, trying her best to not get blown away.
"To be honest, after I was revived by the Swamp Witch feeling the power I never thought about training until I meet my Master and show me that there are higher heights I can reach through brutal training!" Menace bragged as she laughs.
"And now, I'm going to use all that on you, little Claudette." Menace pointed a finger at Claudette.
"Before we get to that, I demand to know where is Leina!" Claudette demanded as she tighten her grip on the Thunderclap.
"Oh, you really want to see your sister? Well, I guess you did come all this way." Menace smiled sinisterly.
"Oh, Leina! Come on out and say "hello" to your friends and sisters!" Menace called out.
A few seconds after Menace called out, something ran pass Menace very fast and a sword is thrust aiming for Claudette's head, but the red-haired older sister quickly reacted by blocking the quick attack with the flat end of her sword. Claudette moves her head a little get a good look at the attack, but she gasps of the attacker's face.
"Leina?"
Indeed, it was Leina who attacked as everyone else became shock of seeing the kind-hearted and brave girl Leina Vance, but there was definitely something different about her as her eyes are lifeless. Claudette quickly pushes Leina's attack back which pushes her back a few feet away.
"Leina, stop! Why did you attacked Claudette like you were trying to kill her?" Elina asked.
"Is because she did, Leina has been brainwashed by Menace." Nanael glared at the desert princess.
"That's right, Leina belongs to me and now this time, it won't be just her but you all will soon become my slaves!" Menace revealed her plan.
"I see, so you didn't want to stop with Leina, but you wanted more slaves to boss around." Risty said angry.
"How despicable, to face someone against their will and give themselves up for your own amusement, I cannot forgive you for such unholy actions!" Tomoe stated as she draws out her sword.
"HAHAHAHAHA! Go on, just try to save Leina if you can, but you fools will soon find it's not going to be easy!" Menace said.
The girls ready themselves in their fighting stance and holding on to their weapons for dear life because this fight will be very hard as they will have to fight against one of their own.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy!
Claudette's group have made their way to the throne room to meet up with Menace expecting to be a tough fight consider she's not the same Desert Princess from the ancient times of the Queen's Blade, but what makes matter worse is that they are gonna have to fight against the brainwashed Leina too and that won't be easy for our female heroes. Leina will be part one of the major boss fight that's about to throw down and Menace has a surprise for them when she steps into the fight.
I also mentioned about Anarista for a reason, let just say probably in the next chapter the end of the battle will be a 'shock' to everyone.
KO comment, favorite, and follow through of how this story will go!
