Okay, okay.
I'm not gonna hide this from you guys anymore.
The reason I've been taking so long with updating is because...
...
...
*Drum roll plz*
xD
I've been working on the sequel to DWMA Rumble!.
*Le gasp!*
Yes, there is going to be a second book to this story. And it won't be slow updates like now. I've all ready finished eight long chapters of it.
Eight.
THE SYMMETRY.
I won't reveal any of the plot until the end of this story. Along with this, I will be going so much more in depth with OCs, possibly their backstories, and making them more important in the story.
More info at the end of le chapter~ :3
"That... Is not good," Excalibur commented as he and Lord Death watched Kid place Lucy's body on the ground.
Lord Death tilted his head. "Why do you say that?" he asked.
"Fool!" Excalibur pointed his cane at the large Reaper. "Satan is clearly going to murder you due to the fact that you killed his daughter in a clueless, pointless, and unexplainable battle royale!"
Lord Death's mask formed a happy look. "Oh, don't you worry about that." He turned to his mirror. "There is nothing to worry about at all..."
Excalibur scoffed. "Fool! That's what you think for now!"
DWMA Rumble!
Chapter X
Solid Determination
Sai hummed to herself as she skipped over a dead body, staring up at the clear blue sky. "Today's a beautiful day, isn't it?" she asked her weapon with a bright smile.
Sam sighed. "Whatever."
"Hey, hey, how many people do you think are still alive?"
"How the hell should I know? Hopefully Kid will be dead-"
She kneed him in the crotch and he let out a yelp as he fell down. She giggled. "You're so funny when you're in pain..." She suddenly became quiet and she turned her attention to a large tree a few yards away from them.
"What is it...?" he asked weakly, slowly standing up.
"There's someone behind that tree..." she murmured. "Whoever's watching us, come out and play!" she called.
He sweat dropped and turned his head to the tree. "Fucking weirdo..."
Slowly coming out from behind the tree was Kim, holding onto Jackie, who was in her weapon form. "Long time to see, Sai," Kim greeted.
Sai smiled and waved to her. "Yoooo, Kimmy~! Great to see you! How's it been going, dude?" she asked.
"It's been great. And you?"
"Ah, we're holding on."
Sam narrowed his eyes at Kim. "Something's not right..." he muttered suspiciously. His eyes shifted around the area when he saw Kilik emerge from the bushes by the tree.
"Hey look, it's Kilik!" Sai exclaimed. She smirked. "Now, I wonder if Ox is around here somewhere, because I smell a shit ton of betrayal here."
Sam heard noise from behind him. He spun around to see Ox stepping towards them, readying his spear. "It's three against one. You have no chance," he said lowly.
Sam began to back away until he felt his back bump into Sai's. "Yoooo, dude, this shit looks bad," she said nonchalantly.
He sighed. "Can't you take something seriously for once?" he asked in annoyance.
"Define 'seriously'."
Shaking his head, he transformed into double white cleaver swords and fell into her hands. She twirled them around and carefully watched Ox and Kilik as they were approaching her.
"Rein!" Ven shouted over the loud noise of the leaves rustling in the trees. "Where are we going?"
Rein was jumping through the trees and traveling across the island as fast as she could. "Where do you think? I'm gonna go make sure that the sexy trio is okay!" she answered. She frowned. "I can't stand the fact that I was knocked out for that battle and had to let them fight!"
Ven smiled, although Rein couldn't see since she was in her weapon form. "It's all right, it wasn't your fault. They were strong opponents."
Rein's frown deepened. "I don't care! If something happens to them then I'll feel like shit! I don't need them fighting my battles!"
Ven sighed. "They'll be fine, I promise."
Rein kept jumping from tree to tree until a familiar dark-haired girl caught her eyes. Violet sat on a tree branch only a few yards away from them, playfully swinging her legs.
"Yo!" she called with a grin. "I see your boo-boos have healed. Come back to finally face me yourself?"
Rein clenched her fists. "Don't mock me, dumb bitch! Where's Kento, Kaiser, and Hiro?!" she demanded.
Violet smirked and stood up the branch, folding her arms over her chest. "Oh, those buffoons?" She pointed down below her. "Go look for yourself."
Rein bit her lip and dared to look at the ground under her. Her eyes widened. Kento, Kaiser, and Hiro were lying motionless in the dirt, blood spilling out from their bodies. Their skin was covered in bruises and cuts.
On the blade of Rein's scythe was an image of Ven covered her mouth with her hand. "This... Can't..." she whispered, tearing up.
Rein lifted her head back up to Violet, fire burning in her eyes. "You know, you're a real bitch for killing three hot guys like them," she growled.
Violet stepped up onto the branch. "Am I?" She whipped her daggers out from the back pockets of her black jeans. "Isn't this all a part of the game, though? To kill each other off and survive this battle royale?"
"They were our friends!"
Violet smirked. "What's your point? You should know by now that no matter what, one team must come out alive in the end. If you were smart, you would have prepared yourself for this."
"But that doesn't give you the right to taunt us over our dead friends!" Ven intervened. "We'll never see them again! Are you too cold-hearted to realize how painful that is to feel?!"
Violet shook her head. "That's where you're wrong... You think you're the only ones who lost someone important to them?" she asked. "Tell me, do you know who Aven Lyn and Carter Ark are?"
Rein blinked. "Uh..."
"I'll take that as a no." She sighed. "Well, we were very close friends with them, weren't we?" She glanced down at her weapons.
"Yeah..." Akio replied sadly. May didn't respond.
Violet looked back up to Rein and glared at her. "We were going to rendezvous at an open field in the forest. But guess what we saw when we arrived there?" She pointed the dagger to her own throat and motioned a cut across the skin. "Aven's neck was cut right open; through the skin and everything. Carter just laid next to her, dead." She sighed again. "So don't soak yourself in self-pity like you're the only ones. I'm sure there are plenty of others with worse stories."
Without another word, Rein roared and leapt to a branch next to Violet. She caught onto the branch with her left hand and, before Violet could react, she swung her scythe down to the base of the branch Violet stood on, detaching it from the tree.
Violet gasped and let the gravity pull her to the ground. She flipped over and clumsily landed on her feet, making her stumble. Rein jumped onto the ground with a loud thud and began to swing down at Violet. Violet swiftly dodged each attack.
As Rein began to hurl her scythe down to attack again, Violet swiped her right dagger upward and cut into Rein's wrist. Rein hissed and flinched, giving Violet enough time to land another cut on her hip.
"Damn you!" Rein shouted, kicking Violet in her stomach and punching her in the jaw. Violet grunted and elbowed Rein in the shoulder before backing away, wiping the blood from her mouth.
"I don't understand why you're trying to fight me again," she said smugly. "You'll just end up losing like last time."
Rein smirked. "We'll see about that!" she exclaimed. She charged forward and swung her scythe down, scraping Violet's side. Violet spun around and ducked as Rein tried to kick her. She threw her dagger forward to cut Rein, but the brunette ducked as her leg came back down. Rein sidestepped away from Violet as her back was turned, but Violet swung her arm behind her, cutting across Rein's chest.
"I'll kill you no matter what it takes and I'll avenge Kento, Kaiser, and Hiro!" Rein shouted.
Violet scowled. "I'd like to see you try!" she retorted. She ran forward to try and stab her with a dagger when suddenly, her foot slammed into a root sticking out of the ground. She gasped as she felt herself begin to fall to the earth. 'You can't be serious...' she thought. Everything felt as if it had slowed down. She watched Rein begin to swing her scythe upwards, which would result in a direct hit on Violet's neck. 'I can't dodge that in time! I won't make it...!'
As Violet prepared herself for the hit, something suddenly moved between her and Rein's scythe. Her eyes widened as she landed on someone's back, pushing them deeper into the scythe. She noticed that her left dagger with a white ribbon around the hilt was gone.
"AKIO!" she screamed, backing away from them. Rein's eyes widened to see that her scythe was pierced clean through Akio's stomach and out of his back. He coughed up a puddle of blood. Violet clenched her teeth and chucked her other dagger at Rein, which stuck straight into her upper right arm.
Rein hissed and she pulled the scythe out of Akio's body, dropping her weapon. Ven transformed into her human form and checked her bleeding arm.
"Let me pull it out..." she said calmly.
"Ah, fuck, that's what she said," Rein replied, squeezing her eyes shut and biting her lip.
As that happened, Violet was holding onto Akio's body, slowly placing him onto the ground. She ripped off his clothing and began to apply pressure to the wound. Akio's panting increased until he was gasping for air.
Violet bit back her tears. "Shh, it's going to be all right," she said softly. "You... You're so stupid! Why did you do that?!"
He formed a weak smile to her. "I-I..." he choked out.
In the background, Rein let out a loud roar as Ven pulled the dagger out of her arm. May transformed back into her human form, rushing over to Violet and Akio. "Is he all right?! He'll be all right, right?!" she cried.
Violet quietly sobbed. Akio lifted up his hand and ruffled her hair. "L-Lo...ve..." he uttered.
She sniffed. "D-Don't say anymore..." she murmured. She leaned down and quickly kissed him on his lips, leaving an alarmed look on his face. She smiled. "Thanks for the long run, buddy..."
He smiled back before his eyes slowly shut. May let out a loud sob and covered her mouth with her hands while Violet hung her head down.
Ven closed her eyes while Rein watched a bullet go straight through Violet's head. May made a squeaking noise before she was given the same fate.
...
"My arm hurts," Rein said, breaking the silence. Ven sighed.
"Incoming!" Twisted called to her teammates as she sliced the arm off of a boy with her axe. He screamed and blood began to spurt everywhere. She couldn't help but grin wickedly.
Satana turned around and kicked a girl in the face before swinging her mace into the girl's stomach. Another boy tried attacking her with a sword from behind, but Twisted kicked him away and killed him before he could even touch her. With that, all members of the group laid there, dead. Satana and Twisted stood in silence, trying to catch their breaths.
"Something gives me feeling that this isn't over..." Satana murmured.
"It's quiet," Angel whispered.
"Too quiet..." Faith added.
"Shh! Be quiet, you fucking dumbasses!" Twisted snapped.
"Well, sor-ry!" Angel grumbled.
They stood in silence for a few more minutes, waiting for something. After a while, nothing happened, convincing Twisted to lower her guard. "I think that's it-"
A figure suddenly came rushing out of the bushes and dashed towards Twisted. "Twisted!" Angel cried out. Before Twisted could respond, a deep cut was made across her lower back. She screamed and collapsed to the ground.
Satana's eyes widened. "Damn you!" she snarled, charging at the figure and swinging her mace down onto the sword that the meister held. She took a moment to get a good look at the meister and her eyes widened. "Crona...?!"
Crona smirked. "Screech Symphony!" he exclaimed. Ragnarok's opened mouth appeared at the brim of the sword and a glass-shattering scream came out. Satana covered her ears and shuddered at the pain. With all of her strength, she punched Crona in the face, but he quickly countered that attack by kicking her hand out of the way. She threw her mace into his hip, causing black blood to drip down.
"Shit..." she muttered.
Crona smirked and rammed his elbow into her, pushing her back into a tree. She grunted and began to feel her head spin.
Before Satana could even recover, Crona lifted his sword up and shoved it straight through her stomach and into the bark of the tree. Satana's eyes widened and blood spurted from her mouth.
Faith screamed, tears forming in her light green eyes, and she quickly transformed into her human form, keeping her right arm a mace. She clumsily tried to attack Crona, but he bent his body all the way back, dodging the mace. He then pulled the sword out of Satana, letting her drop to the ground.
Bending straight back up, Crona smiled widely and slashed Faith's neck. Without another sound, she fell next to her meister's motionless body.
"You bastard!" Twisted screamed from behind, stabbing Crona in the hip with the spear end of her axe. Crona merely stood still and turned to her with a creepy smile. She tried to pull her weapon out, but it wouldn't budge. "What the-?!"
He swung his sword down onto the staff of the axe. "Screech symphony," he commanded. Ragnarok created another piercing screech and Angel cried out in pain as the sword vibrated and shook the axe, digging into the metal, which leaked blood. Twisted began to tremble and she tried to pull her weapon back again, but there was no success.
Then the unthinkable happened.
The axe snapped in half.
Angel became silent.
Twisted paled, staring horridly at her weapon. She opened her mouth to scream, but Crona stabbed her through the chest before she could make a move.
He pulled the sword out and watched her fall to the ground. Her fingers twitched, making him take caution and stab her through the chest again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
He grinned.
Again.
And again.
And again.
