Chapter 11
After leaving Pallet town we headed back to the hive. Niche traveling by jumping up and down repeatedly, while Lag and I walked. "This is Gaichuu territory." Lag explained, looking around cautiously. "I heard that Madeiras attack in packs here."
"Madeiras attacking in packs? You've got to be kidding me!" I yelled watching as Lag stiffened so suddenly, It made me think that he had been petrified.
Lag silenced and stared blankly at the Heart Bullet Gun, which once belonged to Gauche. He waited for a moment… Then, the ground started to shake violently. A huge purple wing stuck up from the cliff below them, followed by a lot more in various places. GRRRROAAAHHHH!
The sound echoes as the sound of heavy footsteps gradually grow. A slight metallic sound vibrates with each step until the monstrosity is revealed.
"Gaichuu Madeira!" I cried.
The Gaichuu was shaped like a beetle and it creaked loudly. I cursed when I notice it wasn't alone. The Gaichuu lunged and I shot a Shindajuu bullet. The fragment of my heart…"Shiryuusei!" I yelled, the small gem on my gun glowed as five silver bullets were shot into the Gaichuu.
I missed! It was fast...The Madeira responded immediately, flapping its huge purple wings to send out wind gusts strong enough to send medium-sized boulders skidding along the ground. I slipped hitting my head against a rock. I huffed, trying to stand up. Trying to take no notice at the pain in my head. Niche and Lag were already set in action, releasing Steak to climb on a Madeira while Niche used her hair to steady the Madeira's movements. The Kapellmeister as Thunderland called him ran upwards as fast as it could, and found a gap: Right in the middle of the Madeira's huge protruding purple eyes, as big as a human; but it only opened whenever its mouth was wide open, too. The chink proved to be a very tricky target, which must be why so many Letter Bees lost their lives fighting them.
"Lag, now!" Niche called out, tightening her grip on the Madeira's huge metal needle-like mouth. Lag pulled the Nocturne #12 and aimed it at the chink.
"Heart bullet, loaded… Akabari!" Lag screamed the last word out as hard as it could, forcing the red blast out of his gun. It made its way directly into the Madeira's gap, causing it to explode in a shower of fireworks.
"One Madeira down, keep it up, Lag!" I cheered on, and then immediately turning my attention to Madeira. Closes to me. "Shiryuusei!" I yelled, the small gem on my gun glowed as five silver bullets were shot into the Gaichuu. The first too hit the eyes making it open, two other hot the side of it's mouth and finally the last one hit inside of it's mouth making it blow up.
"There's too many!" Lag yelled as another blew up.
[At this rate, we're going to exhaust out heart...]
"Lag!" Niche cried. I immediately saw as the guichuu's tentacles when toward him. I ran as fast as I could and push him out of the way within seconds I was rapped inside a cocoon, before it could completely closed I saw a blue-ish light and Zazie coming to the rescue, but even I knew it was to late...
