"You made it!" The orange Mechon opened it's jaws and snapped them shut, if it was happily or menacingly, the party couldn't tell.
"Creed didn't think you would, but ol' Galden had faith that those Mechon wouldn't be too much for ya!"
"Get out of the way. We don't have time for minions." Melia shouted back. The Faced Mechon, Galden, seemed disappointed.
"That's not very nice." Galden said, "I deserve a bit of respect if I'm gonna fight ya!" Galden shook his head sadly.
"You Homs just don't know your manners, I'm ashamed."
Galden looked at his metal hands. In them, rested an orange crusted shield-like weapon, with black existing on the tip and sides. Galden raised the weapon, and with a grunt, drove into the skin of Mechonis. Huge cracks erupted from the shield and sprang towards the party.
"Get away from the cracks!" Sharla shouted. They sprinted away, tripping until they were out of the crack's range. They drew their weapons Sharla already aiming a round of bullets at the Mechon's large arms. Shulk, Fiora, and Riki charged together, (though Riki was lagging a bit behind) while Galden took a step, growing the cracks. Riki was about to strike when he was almost wiped out by Galden's shield, that had just tried to thrust into his furry chest. Regaining his balance from the quick escape, he bashed Galden in the foot.
"Argh!" Galden's eyes seemed to light up as he slammed his shield into Riki, hitting him in the head. He lifted his shield just to slam it down with more force. Blood dripped from the shield, Riki had been squashed like a bug.
"Riki!" Fiora ran under the shield, scooping the crumpled Nopon into her arms and throwing him out of the Shield's crushing range, she hoped that didn't hurt him too much. But for now, she raised her blades to try and block the shield. Closing her eyes Fiora prepared for a struggle not get squashed. And didn't get it, instead, Galden pushed her aside with one hand, and started walking towards Melia. He seemed to barely notice her.
Shulk slashed a his ankle. Crying out, Galden tried to snatch the Monado from Shulk (being strangely careful not to hit his hands). Shulk thrust the blade into his hand, Galden yelped in response, reeling back. With flames in his eyes, Shulk sprung onto Galden's injured hand, up the arm, to the shoulder, and slashed it. The arm, and blood-stained shield of Galden fell to the floor, Galden screeched. His other arm grasping the gap where an arm once was.
"Shulk, there's a person in there, remember?" Sharla asked, jogging to him.
"The Monado doesn't affect Homs" Shulk whispered.
"Thank Meyneth that rule exists! Damn boy you cut my arm off!" Galden seemed to screamed "Damn.. You've grown stronger, I knew you would."
Galden shook his head, "Your a good fighter, ya got your fancy sword, your armor, your trainin and skills..." Galden paused. "But, your missin' the two most important things."
Shulk raised an eyebrow. "... What?"
"Your steed, mate, and your shield." Shulk's eyes widened
"Where are they? If your some big warrior, where's your shield? Huh? Where's your steed, little boy?" Galden looked around.
"Their- Their not here."
" Really, Cause I see both of 'em. Maybe you Hom's got some wonky eyes." Galden started up his engines, they sputtered, but in a matter of seconds, he was off the cracked ground and into the sky, leaving Shulk and the party, bound to the Mechonis and dumbfounded.
That took a while to write, as you might have noticed, the problem is I suck at writing action scenes. So I try to make them short, but I still gotta have them, it's difficult, I dunno.
Thank you, Xenogeeks, for sticking by this little series, that isn't quite so little anymore, seeing as this is it's 10th chapter!
I've been trying to right a Dark Hetalia fic for a while now, but haven't mustered the courage to keep writing it.
I might as well tell you all that a Markiplier x Reader fic is in the works for Wattpadd! *single balloon floats into room*
Other than that, I hope you all enjoying the series, and will enjoy whats to come
