Chapter 10
The next day, the Triplets were walking the halls, when they came across the communication room. Something was happening in City B. "We have heroes down, requesting back up immediately! All S class heroes are busy and will not be able to assist."
It peeked their interest. Pac peered into the room and saw the demon level threat. Six heroes have already been taken out, A class rank and all that remained were 2 A class, 5 B class and 4 C class. They walked in, as the room was abuzz. "We need more help! That is insufficient!"
"Can we help?" said Pac.
The room paused and froze. "We can help!" said Hunter. "Let us do something to repay you for looking out for us."
There was hesitation. "Have you faced monsters before?" asked the bearded man in the suit.
"Yes, and then some," muttered Alley.
"Okay, go, but be careful, this is a level demon."
They gave but a nod and were on their way.
In City B.
BASH
SLAM
CRACK!
"Damn it, that's 9 in three shots!"
"We need to hold it off, just a little more time, they said backup is on the way!"
"We don't have time Max!"
"We got to make some Stinger!"
They were the only two heroes who still stood on their feet, everyone else was knocked out and unable to stand. They braced themselves as the monster came charging. It was a disturbing thing. It possessed the body of a lizard, the head of a demon with a human face, and a tail that lashed about. Stinger and Lightning Max were running on fumes, they couldn't keep up the attack much longer. Until they saw it.
Falling from the sky, something came down.
"BBBBRRRAAAWWWLLL!"
CRACK!
It landed with a sickening thud on the head of the monster, yet was repelled off of it. The strike wasn't strong to end the monster, but it caused it pain and to bleed. As the attacker was thrown, she landed on her feet.
"Wait… who are you?" demanded Stinger.
She turned and smiled. "Your back up, and here come the big guns!"
Two more fell from the sky, yet this time they were using their feet to strike the spine.
SNAP
Their weight and strength was enough to crack a vertebra, the monster roared in pain as it's back legs began to give out. They landed next to Alley and decided on what to do next. "Wait… You can't be… you're Garou's kids!?" demanded Max.
Hunter gave a mocking bow to the two heroes, Pac smirked. "Yeah, we're here to help, the thing is tougher than it looks."
"We didn't ask for your help!" snapped Stinger.
"No, you did ask for help. You just never specified," said Hunter. Then, an idea came over him. "I want to try something."
"Try what?" asked Alley.
"A new technique I have been working on."
"You never told me!" said Pac.
"I didn't want you perfecting it before me!" snapped Hunter. "Let me try it, please?" he said.
Pac was worried, but gave a nod to him, he and Alley stepped back as Hunter took a stance. He watched the monster struggle to keep on its feet, it was time to finish it off. With a firm stop on to the pavement he lifted a manhole cover, then began to do the fists of flowing water technique. However, he shifted his body, he began to go faster and faster, without releasing the technique just yet. The power of it grew more and more until he began to make a whirlwind! The pull was powerful, so strong it took in the monster off its feet! From there Pac watched something move within the whipping winds. It kept striking the beast inside hard and fast until the flow of air stopped. The monster was thrown out of it, yet still lived… until the manhole cover struck and embedded itself right between its eyes!
Pac and Alley were impressed, yet, as they turned to his brother. He was battered and bloodied. "Hunter!"
"I'm… Okay… I still got to work on it, but I'm okay." He insisted.
Pac however noticed more of Hunter's human skin had just peeled off his body. He didn't think much of it though. "It's fine." He insisted. "Its just skin."
Stinger and Max stared at the fallen beast, neither one could believe a kid just took it out with one technique. "What the hell did you do?" demanded Stinger. "What was that?"
Hunter smiled. "I think I am going to call it the Torrent. That or blood stained hurricane. It depends on what name sticks." He then spat the blood from his mouth. "I didn't think it would have been that hard. Guess I still got some training to do."
"You'll get there," said Alley. "It's just a matter of time."
The three went back to the association, immediately Sitch was there to greet and thank them for their hard work. "I didn't know you three were that capable! Amazing!"
"We still have a long way to go, dad could have ended that thing in an instant." Said Hunter.
"True, but you three took it down. You came through for us when we needed it most, thank you."
Pac gave a gracious nod as he and his siblings moved along. However, before they could leave, another threat was issued in city G. "Overgrown Rover has appeared, and it's destroying everything!" said one woman.
"One more?" asked Alley.
"One more." Her brothers said.
City G.
Streets lay in ruins. Heroes were down and yet Overgrown Rover was still as energetic as ever. As the Triplets arrived, they found themselves face to face with a monstrous dog type creature! Hunter stared at it oddly, since they stood in plain view of it, the monster wasn't attacking them. "You guys thinking, what I'm thinking?"
Pac smirked. "Yeah… Ooo and I got just the thing." He noticed Smile Man was down, but his weapon was near by. Pac took the massive ball that Smile Man usually used and held it up. He gave a sharp whistle to Overgrown Rover who instantly took notice. "HERE BOY!" With all his might, Pac threw the ball.
Rover chased right after it. It was quick to catch and retrieve it back to Pac, dropping it right before him. Hunter smiled. "You really are just a massive size dog!"
"Awww!" said Alley.
Hunter took the ball and gave it a throw as well. Rover was eager to chase and retrieve to for him and brought the ball right back. It's tail wagged with excitement and it drooled acid. "He's cute," said Alley.
"I think he just wanted someone to play with." Said Pac.
"WHAT ARE YOU THREE WAITING FOR KILL IT!"
The triplets turned and saw Darkness Blade, he was battered and wounded, yet still able to stand. "It's not out to destroy, it wants company!" said Alley.
"Take it easy," muttered Pac.
Darkness Blade sneered. "Figures, monsters go easy on monsters."
Hunter glared at him. He gave a high pitch whistle. "Rover!" the monstrous dog came running, "Sit!" he called. Rover sat. "Good boy!" then, the beast turned on to its side. "Belly rub time!" With the help of his siblings, they gave Rover a good scratch, which calmed him right away. Despite the acid drool leaking out of its mouth and the streets in ruins. No one was really hurt! Hunter began to think things over, but a devious grin came over his face.
At the Heroes association.
Sitch was given the call, City G was no longer in danger. The monster has been dealt with, yet no one claimed responsibility for defeating it. He was about to walk out of the association's front doors until three demonic eyes peered in! Sitch gasped until he saw Hunter on the head of the thing! Cautiously, he walked out. "Mr. Sitch. Can we keep him!?"
Overgrown Rover wasn't defeated… he was tamed!
