Chapter 14
Pile of Disgust
Standing about three meters tall, the Flesh Golem groaned in an intimidating manner as it slowly approached the Suicide Squad and the girls. "Fire!" Rick shouted to the others before firing from his machine gun at the monster. Deadshot fired from his wrist guns, Killer Frost fired ice shards, Captain Boomerang threw exploding boomerangs, and Harley fired from her handguns.
Drops of blood flew out from the monster's body when it got pelted by said projectiles, and the monster also took some steps back from being hit. When they stopped firing, the monster groaned as it started moving forward again. The wounds on its body remained there for a few seconds before healing. It performed a surprising move of increasing the length of its arm and lashing it out at the group. Acting quick, they all got out of its way. Bronze Tiger then swung down his claws to cut the arm before it pulled back. The severed arm flopped around on the floor like a fish out of water, and as for the monster, its severed arm was slowly replaced with a new one that regenerated in place of the old one.
"Tsk! Ones that can heal are always the most annoying to deal with!" he grumbled.
"Then we'll just blow it into pieces so that it is beyond recovery!" suggested Shou as she held up her pagoda to fire a shiny beam at the Flesh Golem. Several of the tentacles on the monster's back came down in front of it at a fast speed, serving as a shield to block it from the approaching beam. An explosion was created when the beam struck the wall of tentacles, and pieces of flesh flew everywhere as a result. When the smoke cleared, the tentacles were shown to have been blown away, but in no time, they regenerated and soon became as good as new. One of the tentacles shot at Shou at a fast speed, swatting her pagoda out of her hand. "Hey!"
The same tentacle then wrapped itself around her and pulled her towards the monster, where another tentacle grew a mouth filled with sharp teeth and readied to bite off her head, which had a horrified expression. Seeing this, Futo took out a threw a dish at said tentacle, slicing it clean off before it had the chance to attack Shou. She threw a second dish immediately afterwards to cut off the one holding the tiger demon in the air, and then the latter ran back to the others fast, thanking Futo when she did so.
"Hey you! You're not allowed to hurt our friends without my consent!" Marisa angrily said to the Flesh Golem. "You'll have to face a lot of pain if you do that!" She pointed her hands at the monster and fired rapid bursts of star-shaped projectiles. This only succeeded in attracting the monster's attention to her and therefore attacking her with its tentacles by having a couple of them reach towards her at a fast speed. The witch performed some acrobatic flips to the side to get out of the way and then fired at the tentacles to blow them off, only for them to regenerate instantly afterwards. "Darn it! If only I have my hakkero or even my broom, I can unleash more firepower!"
The tentacles went after her again, but before they can reach her, Harley ran towards them and, with a swing of her bat, smashed them into pieces. She closed in one of the Flesh Golem while constantly swinging her bat at the tentacles, destroying them before they could regenerate. It was as if her bat was was a weapon capable of causing serious destruction that she was able to plow forward. When she got close enough to the monster, she smashed it in the side of the head with her bat before taking out a gun and fired at the forehead at point blank. Despite the head getting brutally mauled by her, it was still able to regenerate. The monster let out an angry-sounding groan before swinging its hand at her, but she back flipped away. "You're ugly as you are persistent!" she said to it.
Medicine took a deep breath before spitting a large amount of purple liquid at the Flesh Golem, dousing it from head to toe. The poisonous liquid brought stinging pain to the monster, making it walk around awkwardly while groaning constantly. While it was in that state, Raiko held her makeshift drumsticks over her head and electrically charged them, causing a ball of electricity to form in between them. When the electric ball was about the same size as her head, she swung down her drumsticks to "throw" it at the monster, zapping and blowing it backwards, and it crashed into a pillar.
Seiga got behind that pillar fast and then slammed the back end of her hair pin against it, causing it break apart. The broken pieces shot forward, piercing the Flesh Golem as if they were bullets fired from a gun. The monster fell to the floor with holes all over its body, but they soon healed.
"Thee foul beast! Such a hideous creature like thee hast nay lodging in this ordinary! Begone to the depths of the underworld and suffer f'r all eternity! May thy presence nev'r grace the ordinary of the living again!" Futo said to the Flesh Golem as she threw several plates at it. The plate spun through the air and cut off various parts of the monster's body as if they were buzzsaws. The severed body parts writhed around and pulsated for a while before stopping and rotting away, while new body parts grew on the Golem's body to replace the missing ones.
Parts of the Golem's body then began to bulge. The bulges kept on growing until it burst, spilling out blood and releasing a fleshy monster like the ones they encountered throughout the place. The fleshy monster slowly stood up, its body covered in blood, and then limped towards the good guys, groaning as it did so. The part on the Golem's body that burst open healed soon afterwards, but more parts of it released the fleshy monsters the same way.
"Okay... This is seriously reaching some s*** levels of grossness..." commented Captain Boomerang with a look of disgust. "I think I may have nightmares for eternity after this..."
The squad and the girls attacked the fleshy monsters, killing them all. Alice then sent several dolls that grabbed onto various parts of the Flesh Golem's body. With a snap of her fingers, the dolls self-destructed all at once, blowing the monster into bits. When the smoke cleared, pieces of flesh were scattered all over the place, and they all saw a creature resembling a worm writhing on the floor. The scattered pieces of flesh suddenly gathered around the worm at a fast speed, building upon and fusing with each other until the Flesh Golem took form again. "That worm must be what's keeping the monster together!" observed Alice. "Perhaps we'll be able to kill it if we destroy that worm!"
"Okay, know that we know the weak spot, this shouldn't take long!" said Deadshot as he loaded his sniper rifle with a different kind of bullet, ones designed to pierce several objects at once. "All I have to do is aim at the right spot!" He took aim at the Flesh Monster's chest, the part where the heart was, and pulled the trigger. The pointy bullet soared through the air and went through the monster's body like it was nothing. The bullet kept on going, piercing through the walls at the back and seemingly not stopping at all. To his surprise, the wound simply healed, and the Golem seemed unharmed.
"So... does that count as a miss or not?" Harley asked him.
"I thought the worm would be located at where his heart is..." said Deadshot. "Guess not..."
"We'll just tear it to pieces and pull out that worm!" suggested Killer Croc as he ran towards the Golem with a large piece of debris held over his head. He hurled the debris at the monster, hitting it hard in the head, and then ran up to it and began clawing it in the body using his sharp nails, which he hadn't trimmed in an eternity, in an attempt to dig into its body. Thanks to his strength, which was slightly more than an average human, despite not being enhanced in any way, he was able to cut off layers of the monster's body, which was rather soft. He then pulled back his fist and punched into the monster's body, hoping to catch the worm. He pulled back out his blood-covered fist and growled in frustration at the fact that he caught nothing.
The Flesh Golem let out a loud groan before grabbing him by his head and hurling him aside. A blast of cold air was fired a the tentacles at the back of the monster by Killer Frost, freezing them all. Killer Frost then made large icicles appear above the partially frozen monster, making them fall onto the frozen tentacles and shattering them.
"Here I come!" Marisa shouted as she ran towards the Flesh Golem while its tentacles were still regenerating and jumped towards its back. Channeling magical energy into the broom, the witch fired a powerful blast of energy from the back end of the cleaning equipment the moment it came in contact with the back, thus blasting it at point blank. The range combined with the intensity of the blast caused a hole to be created on the monster's body, and the Flesh Worm came flying out of it and tumbling onto the floor.
The worm squirmed and writhed nonstop while making its way back to the body as fast as it could, but before it could do so, El Diablo burned it with a flamethrower, causing it to let out a ear-piercing screech that brought pain to everyone's ear. Killer Croc, with a piece of debris held over his head, approached the burning worm and dropped it on top it, crushing it.
SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!
Not bothering to remove the debris, Killer Croc dusted his hand and said, "Problem solved!" Everyone then looked at the Flesh Golem and saw that its body was slowly turning greenish gray and decaying. The flesh then let out a foul smell before seemingly melting into a puddle of goo, a sight that they found disgusting.
"Ugh... This thing dying is just as bad it is when it was alive..." said Reisen while closing her nose to avoid breathing in the stench.
Alice looked at Marisa'a broom and asked her, "Where'd you get that?"
"Found it in a storage room around here," replied the witch. "Any broom will do for now until I back to Gensokyo."
Just then, they all heard the Evil Dragon speaking to them in an echoing voice. "You have gone far enough! I shall see to it that you do not get out of here alive! So what if you defeated the Flesh Golem? You still have me to deal with!"
"Then bring it! We're not afraid of you!" Harley shouted out raising her bat into the air.
"Enough hide and seek already! We have enough of you, so c'mon out and let us crush your head so we can go back home!" added Deadshot.
"None of you will be going anywhere! You will all meet your ends here!" said the Evil Dragon. After he was finished saying that, a wall burst open, and the Evil Dragon came out of it, grabbing everyone's attention. The snake was somewhat larger and longer than before, and it also had a more draconic appearance. There was a horn at the front of its snout, spikes coming out the sides of its jaws, and spikes running down its back.
"Looks like you've grown a lot since the last time we've met!" Captain Boomerang said to him.
"I am almost reaching my full power, but this will be more than enough to kill all of you!" the Evil Dragon said to them. "This time, I shall win!"
TO BE CONTINUED
Sorry for no Reimu, Joker, and Seija stuff in this chapter. Their battle won't take as long as the one in the real world, so I'm saving it for the next chapter.
