Setting: Forbidden Forest
Bolt ran throughout the forest, his goal being Atlas. Nothing mattered to him at that moment, all he cared about was getting to Atlas and make sure Ruby and Yang were okay. He zigged and zagged throughout the forest, ducking and dodging fallen trees and jumping over the small rivers. He was almost to the end of the forest and to Atlas, until a sudden sword was swung at him. He immediately dodged the sword, the blade barely cutting his bangs. Bolt skidded to a stop, turning to his attacker. Bolt looked up to see a blonde man in brown camo. He had stood in front of Bolt, waiting for him to attack. Bolt was about to say something, until more men came out of the forest. It started at three and eventually turned into twenty. They were all dressed the same, had the same swords and knives. Bolt assumed that they were all one the same side, and then it hit him.
'Assassins, great.' Bolt thought as more assassins came from the shadows. 'Dammit! I don't have time for this!'
The assassins didn't talk, they just attacked. Four of the assassins came at Bolt, sword and knives in hand. Bolt blocked a sword to the face, while also blocking a knife to the back. Bolt kicked the guy behind him the chest and headbutt the guy in front of him. Bolt then jumped over another sword swipe while also kicking a man in the face.
"The hell you you want?" Bolt asked, dodging another attack.
"Someone put a hit out on you, and your bounty from Atlas still remains." An assassin responded before getting elbowed in the side.
"Course it is." Bolt said, blocking a incoming sword with his.
Bolt then then kicked the guy back, while turning to parry another blade. He parried the blade to the side, dodging a knife, aimed for his head. Bolt caught another blade from his right, throwing the owner to the side. Bolt sighed as two more assassins came at him. This was getting ridiculous, after he defended against two assassins, three more would take their place. Two assassin came at Bolt, one from the front and the other from the back. Bolt sighed as he summoned his lightning blade, and blocked both swords at once.
"I don't have time for this!" Bolt parried the two away before charging at one.
Bolt decided that it was his turn to attack. He ran at one assassin, catching him off guard. Bolt struck him across the chest before, jumping up to roundhouse kick the guy in the head. Another assassin came up from behind Bolt, in the air, leg up, ready to kick Bolt in his head. Bolt knew he was there, and blocked with his fist, while not turning around to look. This caught the man by surprise, stunning him, allowing Bolt to turn and punch the guy in the chest. He was sent flying back into the forest, crashing into a tree. In the tree line, just in front of the clearing full of assassins and Bolt, was a man with silvery-blonde hair. There was also a woman next to him, she had long turquoise hair, and gray eyes, and a camera in her hands.
"He's too strong, sir." The assassin said, slowly standing.
"For you, maybe. For me, he's a piece of cake." The man said, grimly. "Now, get back in there and kill him."
The assassin complied, running back into the fray. "Are you sure that it'll just be as easy as "just kill him"?
"Maybe not but, this is a test anyways." The man said, not looking toward the woman. "Once I learn his moves, he'll face true terror."
Bolt blocked another sword coming at him. He then tripped the owner of the sword, sending them do the ground, before jumping over another. Bolt then kicked the assassin the the head, launching him into another assassin. Bolt the dodged another blade, aimed for his neck, before countering with a sword to the mans back. They assassins backed up and circled around Bolt, he could tell the were getting serious.
They charged at Bolt, who resummoned his lightning blade. Bolt blocked all oof the attacks that was thrown at him. An assassin came from behind Bolt as he fought against two assassins. The assassin then used his knife to slash at Bolt's leg, cutting through his Aura. Bolt used his Semblance to move out of the middle of the assassins.
'Aura piercing weapons. Great.' Bolt thought as he wiped the blade off his hand.
"Dammit! Get serious already." The man said, as the woman sighed.
"Are you sure that he will?" She asked. "I mean, he let them cut him. We were told that he was better than that, and if he has an Atlas bounty, the assassins should be child's play."
"I know, and it's pissing me off that he hasn't beat them yet." The man said.
Bolt then ran in, he was sick of this. Bolt jumped and slashed down at an assassin, who blocked the attack. Bolt then used his speed to catch the man off guard and kick him in his stomach. Bolt then dodged another blade, as well as a second blade. He kept dodging the blades until he found an opening. He vibrated through both blades as they tried to hit him, simultaneously. Bolt then elbowed one in the head while kicking the second in the back.
The man in the shadows smiled as Bolt started winning. The woman just kept recording as Bolt fought. Bolt was starting to get angry, again. The assassins just kept coming. Bolt's turned red, red lightning also sparking off him. Bolt ran at the assassins again, slicing one across the chest. Bolt then blocked an attack coming from behind him, before striking the assassin in the head.
Bolt then went on a rampage, slashing at everything in his way. All the assassins weren't able to keep up. Some would block or dodge a strike from Bolt, while some weren't as lucky. The ones that dodged or blocked Bolt's attacks immediately got a punch or kick to their face. Bolt threw his sword, blocking an incoming knife. Bolt then punched an assassin, sending him flying, before blocking two swords with his lightning blade. Bolt parried them away, making sure that there were none behind him before turning to face them all. They all came at him but Bolt dodged all of their attacks.
They then surrounded Bolt, slashing at him. Bolt blocked attacks from all sides of him. Bolt then spun around, landing three large slice wounds on the assassin's bodies. The assassins around Bolt fell to the ground, dead.
"We should pull back." The woman suggested as the assassin's fell.
"No, we still have more assassins left." The man refused. "We're not leaving until they're all dead."
Bolt then charged at the remaining assassins. He blocked a strike, returning it with a stab to the chest. Bolt then used his semblance to deliver multiple slices on the assassins, not giving them chances to defend. Bolt went on a rampage, stabbing and slicing every assassin that came towards him, or that he went for. Surprisingly, some got back up and picked their swords back up. Bolt groaned as they came at him. Bolt also charged at them, ready to end it.
Bolt used his sword the strike the first, unlucky, assassin in his way. As Bolt struck the assassin, another struck Bolt, cutting his side. Bolt then spun and cut that assassin, only to be sliced on his arm. Bolt turned and blocked the sword coming at him, but missed the knife to his back. Bolt headbutted the guy in front of him before turning to slice the assassin behind him. He then used his semblance to quickly end the last assassin. He huffed as he finally was able to take a break. He looked up to the sky, exhausted, as he tried to caught his breath. He heard an airship, flying over him, but didn't move at all. Aaron jumped down from the airship and landed on the ground, seeing the mass of dead bodies scattered across the floor.
"Alright, time to leave." The man in the shadows said, turning to leave, as the woman put her camera away and followed.
"Dude! Why the hell did you just run off?!" Aaron asked as he stepped over a body. "And why are there dead bodies everywhere?"
"Assassins...attacked...killed..." Bolt said in between pants.
"Oh my god, Bolt!" Rae gasped as she immediately healed Bolt.
"Gotta get to Atlas." Bolt said as he started to move, but was stopped by Aaron.
"Dude!"
"What?!"
"You're uncle just called, they were preparing for Salem, not Alpha." Aaron said causing Bolt's eyes to widen. "As far as I know, your sisters are okay."
Bolt slowly sat down on the floor, still breathing hard. Aaron and Rae walked up to him, with Rae taking a seat next to him.
"Man, this is graphic. Didn't think you had it in you." Bolt looked over and one of the dead assassins next to him, seeing a small note.
"Did Alpha do this to mess with you." Rae asked as Bolt held up the note.
"Yeah, he did." Bolt said crumbling the note before throwing it.
"What did it say?" Aaron asked.
"Doesn't matter."
"Okay, then what are we going to do about it?" Aaron asked, arms crossed.
"We're going to kill the Alpha."
Setting: Alpha's Base
Gamma, Theta, Omega, Zeta, Epsilon, and Kappas walked back into the base. Zeta and Kappas were happy that they finally got to fight and do something. Epsilon just yawned, wanting to get back to work on Alpha's bride. Theta and Gamma didn't care at all, they did what ever Alpha had them do, and fighting the mechs was an easy request. Omega was just there to help in anyway he can.
"We're done with the mechs!" Zeta said as they walked back in the throne room.
"Good, well done." Alpha said.
"Now that we did that...can we kill the bastard now?" Kappas asked, regretting it almost immediately.
"Actually, yes." The six androids' eyes widened at the statement. "Epsilon, Kappas, you're first. You leave, anytime tomorrow."
"Hell yeah!" Kappas yelled.
"But your bride isn't-"
"You're going." Alpha said, scaring Epsilon into submission. "She's downloading her abilities, and memories."
"Yes, Alpha."
"All of you, prepare for your battles. It won't be easy." Alpha said, causing the six to leave the throne room. "Soon Beta, soon."
Superior Androids happen at the same time as The Beta. The two chapters are supposed to show off how strong both Bolt and the Pack are, when they actually try in combat. Epsilon and Kappas are fight to combat Bolt and Team AMBR. Their elemental power will be explained in the next chapter.
Aaron thought of two new team attacks as they fought the Fall Twins. They were used in the fight, as well. One he called Leap Frog, the other he called Portal Tennis.
Leapfrog: Aaron flies, or runs, in and attacks the enemy. After Aaron finishes, Rae then comes in and jumps off his back and towards the enemy, attacking them with his sticks. They keep this up until the enemy either slips out of the attack or if it gets interrupted.
Portal Tennis: Mystic creates a portal and Bolt tackles the opponent into the portal, fighting them inside of her portal. Mystic then opens another portal and Bolt brings the opponent out the portal. They repeat this cycle until Mystic makes a portal in the sky, pointing downwards, and Bolt kicks the opponent in the ground.
