Lovino and Alfred watched as the other two were bickering with each other. "You guys always fight?" Alfred asked, gaining their attention.
"Oiu, Arthur is just so mean to me!" Francis whined childishly. "Don't blame everything on me. You are the perverted idiot here!" Arthur snapped.
"Oi, stop yelling already! We're almost there!" Lovino said only to get ignored. Soon enough the two began to strangle each other and the other two tried to pull them apart.
A snapping sound made everyone stop moving. They all looked around through the dark woods. A large figure stepped out from the shadows being illuminated by the moonlight.
It was large, about the size of a Human. The way it looked was similar to that of a raptor. It bent foward and was sickeningly thin with a spiked spine poking out from the grey skin. The powerful looking legs were bent and the claws were massive. It had empty sockets and it's mouth opened like a sadistic smile with a long black tongue that occasionally showed. Instead of claws, the creature had sythes as arms and they went from the dull grey of the skin to a sharp black.
The four watched in silence not bothering to move before seeing another two come out. The group huddled together as more began to come. They were surrounded and the creatures approached them slowly.
"Bloody hell, there's a lot of them," Alfred counted 9 total. "We should transform," Lovino said and Francis agreed. They both transformed quickly and the first one attacked. It jumped towards Arthur and he quickly shielded the attack. Alfred shot one before grabbing Arthur and beginning to run.
They ran quickly with Alfred shooting occasionally at the following beast. Arthur jumped onto one of the trees before helping Alfred up. Just as Al grabbed the branch to get higher he felt a sharp pain in his leg.
"Fucking hell!" He looked down to see his leg sliced open. He could see the creatures waiting below for him to fall. He pulled himself and held his ankle.
"Shit bastard. You're bleeding!" Lovino said worriedly. "Hey tea sapper! You have to help him. If I transform this tree branch will give out," Lovino called out.
Arthur nodded and slowly made his way over.
He quickly took out a cream and put it onto the cut. They watched as the cut healed quickly. "What? What is that?" Alfred asked amazed.
"I'll tell later. Now we have these guys to worry about," Arthur replied. He could count only 7 now and they traveled in packs it seemed. With only two it may be too hard to attack all of them. Atleast without using his powers that is. He did his best as he tried to think of what to do.
A gun shot interrupted his thoughts. He turned to see the blonde aiming the gun. "Dammit, why don't these work?" Lovino said. They tried to shoot but the thing just ate the bullet.
"That's it!" Arthur yelled starting all of them. "What are talking about dude?"
"You guy's have a poisoned weapon don't you?" Arthur asked. "Well sorta..."
"What does it do?" Francis asked curiously. "It eats at the cells at a rapid rate," Lovino replied nervously. "I don't like to use it though."
"You have to! If you can distract some of them, than Francis and I will go down and begin to paralyze them, if not kill." Arthur explained.
"Come on Lovi, we can do it!" Alfred exclaimed. Lovino thought for a second. "Alright fine..."
The two concentrated before light surrounded them. "Let's go, Soul Resonance!" They yelled and the light went brighter. Arthur held onto the trunk as the Kishin began to jump onto the tree. They would jump high but couldn't hold on.
The light dimmed and Arthur felt surprised. Alfred now appeared much darker in skin and hair color. His eyes were no longer bright blue and he didn't have a cheerful smile. He threw down his glasses before lifting the gun into place. The barrel was now thinner and longer and the gun appeared white with black etchings.
"Okay Al, aim more to the right. PERFECT!" Lovino said with a wink. He pushed his now blonde hair back with a smile and got ready. "Fire!" He yelled excitedly. Alfred gave a small scoff before pulling the trigger. The sound was nearly silent and the other two watched as the bullet hit the creature in the spine. They gasped as they watched the hole began to increase in size. It looked as if the skin was disintegrating before the muscle and bone began to as well. This continued until the creature looked like a corpse that had been eaten by bugs for days.
In just a minute the creature was nearly entirely decomposed. They looked at Al who shot another with a harsh glare. "Al, don't be careless. I don't want you running my beautiful barrel!" Lovino whined.
"Arthur it's time," Francis said and the other nodded. They also transformed before jumping down from the tree. 5 now and 2 were still trying to get Alfred.
Arthur began to run off and 3 began to chase him. "Hey! Where the hell are you going!" He could hear Al yell behind him before another shot was fired.
"Mm, he doesn't want to be here with you," Lovino said sassily. "Baby, please. He just can't handle this," Alfred smirked, waiting for the next fire.
Arthur yelled before making a sharp turn. He watched as the creatures also made a sharp turn and begin to get confused. He made a circle and was behind them with Francis in hand. He swung and only scraped at the creature. He watched though as the black substance began to be sucked into the wound and the Kishin dropped to the floor and not moving.
He did the same to other and watched as the last ran towards him. He swung and the black substance splashed everywhere. He watched as the top of of the creature flew up as the bottom half fell to the floor. Pretty soon a soul appeared. He took it before going to the others and finishing them for the soul.
He allowed Francis to eat them before heading back.
He could see Lovino picking up a soul and a now normal Alfred slumped beside the tree. "You're back. That sure was weird," Arthur said standing beside him. "Yeah, it happens sometimes," was all he said before Lovino approached them with the souls in hand.
"Oi, do i really have to eat them?" He asked and Francis chuckled. "What's so funny eh?" He snapped. "Non, Mon Ami you just have to get them in some way. You can put them in like bullets I think," he said.
"Wouldn't you rather eat them? I know I'm pretty hungry," Al said smiling at his partner. Lovino scowled before slowly putting one into his mouth. He slowly chewed before swallowing it. "I don't know what I taste," he said before eating the rest. They looked for the remaining souls and split them.
"Hey Arthur?" Arthur turned to the younger blonde. "Word around school is that you're pretty weird. Why is that?" Al asked. "It's his eyebrows and attitude," Francis said. He knew Arthur would get angry and maybe not talk to him for the day but it kept his secret safe. The two once again began to fight as Lovino and Alfred shrugged and had their own conversation. They made it back and Lovino was hugged by his brother almost immediately.
"How was it Fratello?" He asked cheerfully. "He rocked!" Alfred answered and watched the brother squeal and jump on his brother. He could see his brother walking, no... Trudging, by. He ran to him.
"Mattie! How was your missio-" Alfred stopped and looked at his brother. He could see the large bruise on his right cheek and a large gash from his neck going down. "What the hell happened?"
America:nice screw up. You gave everyone the wrong chapter.
