Chapter 25: Invasion
Night Raid HQ…
After the long day that Night Raid had to save and rescue Tatsumi from the Jaegers and with Sonic dealing with his rival Shadow for the first time since their last fight back at Chemical Plant Zone back in Mobius. Their rival had become too personal for the two hedgehogs and now they're in war. Right now, Night Raid had celebrated and have some fun with Leone drinking some liquor and Lubbock hanging with the others having some fun.
Sonic didn't take the time to hangout and celebrate with the others. The blue blur in his room and start to meditate. He knew that he had to talk to Tikal so he focus to get rid of all distractions and get into his deep trance in his meditated state. Soon his subconscious take him to the trance to meet with the orange echidna.
Sonic's Subconscious…
Sonic entered his trance and appearing at the Master Emerald Shrine. Sonic look over for his friend until some Chao approach the hedgehog with smiles. Sonic returning the smile and kneel down and pet them.
"Hey you guys. Good to see you guys too." Sonic greeted earning more smiles from the Chao.
Sonic play with the Chao for a few seconds before returning back to his search for the orange echidna. Tikal reappear approaching to the hedgehog with her hands clasp together.
"Sonic, welcome back. I haven't talked to you in a while." Tikal greeted.
"Hey Tikal." Sonic responded.
Tikal slowly noticed Sonic's tone had changed and he seemed to be troubled.
"You seem to be sad. What's troubling you Sonic?" Tikal asked.
"I… I fought Shadow today and I have to say things weren't pretty." Sonic informed.
"What happen? Did the fight went too far?"
"You can say that. Shadow has made it too personal and he's crossed the line."
"I know you're upset Sonic but you cannot let this effect you."
"How can I? Shadow made it clear that he won't stop at nothing to defeat me. He's going back to his old ways back at the Ark incident. He won't listen to me now and right now he wants his title back and to prove that he's the best. So right now it's personal between me and Shadow and this fight has just begun, Tikal. I don't think I won't be able to reason Shadow anymore."
"Sonic…"
"Tikal, I've never seen Shadow this angry before. Yeah he can be real moody at times but this time it's different. Shadow has become dark, angry, and yet dangerous. Something that I've haven seen before and now Shadow's power has gotten stronger. He had some intense training and it paid off when we fought."
"It is as I feared."
"What is it?"
"I had a premonition that your fight with Shadow is becoming intense than before. Shadow's anger is making his power getting stronger and I think that working with the Empire has given some effect upon to it."
"But Shadow made a promise, to Maria to keep the world and everyone safe. Shadow told me this once."
"And the Empire will bring Shadow to show his true colors. Shadow will become unstoppable and the darkness within Shadow will eat away his light and it will only cloud him with rage, hatred towards you."
"Damn… I have to stop Shadow before he does something that will haunt him for the rest of his life."
"And what's that?"
"Breaking his promise to Maria. It will destroy him if he does. If I don't get Shadow to listen and understand what he's doing then I have no choice but to do something that I'm going to regret doing."
"What do you mean… wait a minute Sonic don't tell me that-"
"Yeah. It's true Tikal. I have to kill Shadow if it means by saving everyone from his wrath. I guess the Commander from G.U.N was right after all but I refuse to listen. I will do whatever it takes to bring Shadow to reason. Could that stop the premonition from happening? Could that still save a lot of people back at Capital?"
"I believe so. What do you plan on doing?"
"If I can't have Shadow listen to me nicely then I'll just have to use some harsh words to make him realize. I don't want anything bad happen to Shadow and I want to him help in anyway Tikal. I want him to have light with him and to keep the promise he made to Maria. I don't know Maria that well but I know that she loved everyone and the world that she dreamed on seeing."
"I trust you Sonic. Do what you need to do from your heart. You're doing the ring thing and that is following your heart. Still, do not let this personal rivalry effect you and turn you into something you're not."
"I'll try my best and thank you Tikal."
"Anytime. Looks like my time is up. We will speak again soon Sonic."
"Looking forward to it and tell Chaos I said hi."
"Will do. Farewell."
Sonic waved goodbye and return back to reality and out of his trance.
Reality…
Sonic return back to reality and ended his meditation. He then brings himself back up to his feet and stretch out his legs and do some warm ups.
"Well that went well. Hmm. I guess I'll go out for a run, that always helps me." Sonic said before putting his shoes back on.
Sonic exits out the bedroom and walks through the hallways to get out to stretch out his legs. He soon encounters Leone who happens to walk by and smiled at the blue blur.
"Hey Sonic, you missed out the entire party we had for Tatsumi." Leone mentioned.
"Yeah I had other things to do. Sorry I couldn't join with you guys. Sounds to me that everyone passed out after the party." Sonic noticed.
"Yeah. We all had a blast. Perhaps next time you can join us?"
"Sure. I love to."
"Cool. So are you heading out?"
"Yeah. Just going out for a run, that always help me when I had a stressful day or a bad day. I won't be long after all, I'm the fastest hedgehog alive."
"I was just about to head over to the hot springs. Perhaps you can join me afterwards. If you're up to it?"
"Maybe. We'll see."
Sonic wave goodbye and continue to march to his exit to head on out. Leone place her hands behind her head and exits outside to the hot springs. Sonic prepare to go for his run when all of sudden, his Chaos Sense just went off that pause him from leaving. He stop his tracks and look behind sensing an unknown danger and it was at Leone's direction.
"What the… someone in Night Raid HQ? That's impossible. Better go check it out." Sonic thought.
Sonic rush over to see if Leone is ok or something that's bound to happen when all of sudden, a few unfamiliar foes came out of the shadows and ambush Sonic but the blue blur's Chaos Sense is still active so he senses their incoming strikes and dodges them with ease. Sonic then got to his stance and takes out his sword only to be surrounded by a group of assassins with white masks.
"What the hell… what is this Opera night?" Sonic questioned.
"You're the infamous blue hedgehog that the capital as talked about and the rival of the black hedgehog name Shadow." The white masked man assumed.
"What? How did…"
"Our boss told us about you. Now it's time you die."
The masked assassins all charged at the blue hedgehog but Sonic begin spinning himself, charging his Light Speed Attack for a few seconds then put it into good use and begin attacking his opponents from different angles and using his sword to slice them up in rapid speed and lands down to the ground and sudden blood splatter from the assassins and end up in their demise. Sonic put away his sword but instead he ends up wielding it and suddenly senses more incoming assassins that is coming from outside so Sonic jump out through the window and dives down and lands the ground. There were a lot of white masked assassins appearing at front of the HQ and Sonic got to his fighting stance.
"Alright, time to get you guys out of our HQ." Sonic said charging at the assassins to fight.
Elsewhere…
Dr. Stylish looking on with his style figure while the girl with the big ears listening and tracking some noises.
"It looks like I've found and heart the blue hedgehog's noise and movements." The girl informed.
"So the rumors are true. The blue hedgehog name Sonic is with Night Raid and helping the Revolution. This could be my big prize yet and his skill and speed will be a great use for our cause. Well done Mimi." Dr. Stylish retorted.
"But according to Esdeath sir, she sad that the only one who deal with Sonic is Shadow himself. That's the deal they made." The blonde hair man mentioned.
"I know, don't care. Who gives a crap what Esdeath said? I'm killing that blue hedgehog and all the troubles for the Empire will be solved."
"What if that black and red hedgehog finds out about it, you know what he's capable of? Esdeath even seen how angry he can be." The main with a big nose questioned earning annoyed groan by Dr. Stylish.
"I have to agree with Hana and Me on this one. If Esdeath or Shadow finds out about it, Esdeath will punish us." Mimi stated.
"No need to worry guys. They don't have to find out, we're going to keep it a secret. Trust me, I'll deal with all of this once we get back." Dr. Stylish plotted.
Night Raid HQ…
Sonic fighting off the intruders for trying to kill him and the other Night Raid assassins. Sonic using his quickness, speed, and strength getting the upper advantage while dodging their upcoming strikes with the use of his Chaos Sense. Sonic back flips from the white masked assassin from coming behind and so Sonic then dives down and delivers a diving kick and stabs his sword to kill him. Sonic parried the incoming assassin and slice him in half splattering blood out of his body. Sonic side flip doing a B-Twist (butterfly twist) and back flip away from the incoming assassin and Sonic dodge the strike from behind and answers back with a spin attack and a flying kick that sends the assassin right against the wall.
Sonic looking around as more of them kept coming and with that Sonic smiled and charge and continue his fight.
While Sonic dealing with the fiasco outside, Lubbock ran through the hallways getting away from white masked assassin and sets a trap with his lines hopefully that would kill him but to his surprise, he turns his head around to face him. The assassin then charge at the green-haired boy but Lubbock was a step ahead of him when he formed his Imperial Arms some protection with his strings surrounding his body like armor then transforms the lines into a spear and hurls it over at the assassin right through his chest where his heart is located and killed it.
Unaware, there was more of them and he start running, hoping that he can encounter his friends to stop the madness but luckily for him, Akame appear out in the open wearing her pajamas.
"Lubbock, get behind me." Akame demanded.
"Yeah good idea, I can do that." Lubbock nodded with a smile.
The white masked intruders all charge at Akame but a second after, she defeated all of them with ease killing all of them in a splitting second.
"*Whistle* Nice one Akame." Lubbock complimented.
Suddenly, they hear some footsteps coming towards him which didn't made Akame flinched as she stood readied.
"Someone's coming." Akame stated.
"You want some too!" Lubbock shouted getting to his stance.
"Impressive for a couple of thugs." The male said wearing glasses and claps his hands behind his back.
"He's strong." Akame thought.
"You can call me Toby and I'm here to battle you Akame." Toby retorted drawing blades from his arms and charges at the black-haired assassin.
Akame blocked off Toby's strike when he wields another blade from his foot and swung her katana but Toby dodge it and lands on his feet with a smirk.
"He's different. It appears that his body is mechanical." Akame thought.
"Akame!" Lubbock shouted rushing to help his friend.
Lubbock was stop when two giants breaks through the ceiling and stood in front of Lubbock.
"Giants huh? Ok let's go!" Lubbock shouted wielding his Imperial Arms.
With the Blue Blur…
Sonic handling the intruders long as he can and hasn't breaking a sweat. Sonic using his Sonic Wind ability follow by his Sonic Slash wiping out multiple white masked assassins. Sonic landed on the ground as more continue to come out. Sonic couldn't help but to smile, he crack his neck and just about to charge when all of sudden, a noise occurs at the HQ so Sonic turn to see what's going on and got to his stance. It was Tatsumi in his Incursio armor launching up in the air and lands the ground next to Sonic. He then charge and deliver some serious blows to the white masked assassins with brute force and backing them away in the air. Sonic smiled at Tatsumi join up with Sonic.
"Mind if I cut in?" Tatsumi asked.
"Be my guest. Is everyone ok back at HQ?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah. Mine's on her way to help us."
"Good. We're going to need all the help we can and find out who's responsible for this invasion."
"Yeah."
With that, Sonic and Tatsumi worked at a team to fight off the white masked intruders. Sonic using his homing attack and a scissors kick to both of the assassins and Tatsumi uppercuts on of them and delivers a powerful that sends him right against the tree crashing towards it with his back. Sonic spin dashed the assassin in the air and Tatsumi finishes with a powerbomb and Sonic jumps over Tatsumi when he senses another assassin that tries to get Tatsumi behind so Sonic front flip and delivers a powerful slash that slice the assassin in half splattering blood. Sonic creates a wave of energy delivering a Sonic Slash once more and Tatsumi jumps in and punches the assassin.
Tatsumi then grabs Sonic by the hand and swung him around a few times with top speed and tosses Sonic over at multiple assassins and Sonic using his sword, spinning around and slicing them like a disc cutting them in half creating more blood and lands to the ground on his feet and swung his sword to get the blood off of it. Unaware, the white masked assassin charge at Sonic but Sonic senses his and shot a blue energy spear at the assassin killing it in an instant using Chaos Spear.
Tatsumi finish the last remaining of the white masked assassins and regroup with Sonic as he brush himself off and putting his sword back.
"We make a pretty awesome team Sonic. You were awesome." Tatsumi complimented.
"Thanks. You too. You sure do look badass with that Incursio armor my man." Sonic retorted.
"You think so?"
"Yep. You know it."
"Hey you with the tin can and that blue danger beast!" the man shouted.
Sonic and Tatsumi look behind and sees a man with big hangs and look buffed wielding a weapon behind his back.
"Nice of you to show yourself including that blue rodent. Seems you're the fellow that I'm supposed to kill so let's get down to it." The man said.
Tatsumi jump up realizing what the man is wielding. It appears to be an Imperial Arms that Sheele used to wield.
"Those scissors…" Tatsumi trailed off.
"Oh these? Heh. It's Extase. Pick these up and they look badass if you ask me." The main said holding up the scissors.
"Give those back! They don't belong to you!" Tatsumi demanded drawing out his sword.
"Tatsumi wait!" Sonic shouted.
Tatsumi ignored Sonic and charges at the man but all of sudden, he blocked off Tatsumi even breaking his sword by using Extase to parry off Tatsumi.
"Oh yeah, this baby can cut anything." The man said with a sadistic grin.
Tatsumi start to feel the effect when he has a little slash onto his right arm.
"Good reflexes but, I was going to take your whole are off! No matter how thick that armor is I can still cut right through it. So how does it feel that your armor is useless against me your little outfit won't do you any good!"
Tatsumi just glared at him as the man continue to grin sadistically.
The Cliff…
"It sounds like Kaku has the upper hand on Sonic and Incursio." Mimi reported.
"Excellent. Just as I planned it. It's easier to defeat somebody when you have a stronger version to." Dr. Stylish reported.
"But still, we should not engage against the blue hedgehog. He's still Shadow's rival and he could take him only by himself we still should reconsider."
"Nonsense Mimi, this is a perfect opportunity to have him as my research for his powers and I won't waste my chance. Speaking of which, since Shadow mention about Chaos Energy. Imagine what I can do to use that power to do whatever I want? I can even use the power to start my own empire and create a new set of soldiers with the use of Chaos Energy. That would be perfect to make my research to be stronger and dangerous."
With Tatsumi…
"Those belong to Sheele! Hand them over to me right now!" Tatsumi demanded.
"Who the hell is Sheele?!" Kaku retorted.
He pushed Tatsumi forcing him to hit his back onto the ground.
"*Laugh* You must feel like dying today. Why don't I cut some stuff of to give you your wish?" Kaku suggested.
Sonic appear in front of Tatsumi blocking Kaku's path.
"So you want to die too huh? Fine by me, I'm going to enjoy cutting your head and make you as my trophy rodent." Kaku sneered.
"Real brave picking on a pipsqueak." Mine intervened.
Kauku stop and turn to the pink hair assassin wielding Pumpkin.
"You're even more pathetic than I thought." Mine added appearing to be wearing her pajamas.
"Mine!" Tatsumi shouted.
"So those pieces of crap couldn't handle ya by yourself and now it's my job." Kaku retorted.
"I'm ready to get this over with. Seeing Extase in your big ugly hands is starting to piss me off." Mine insulted.
"So you wanna get this over with huh? Be careful what you asked for sweetie. In case if you haven't notice we've taken over your base so now you're done for including the other scumbags."
"That's why I'll make it quick."
Kaku started to scream in rage and launches up in the air, readied Sheele's former imperial arms to decapitate Mine for disrespecting him. Mine on the other hand kept her death glare and aimed her Pumpkin at the intruder and shot a massive beam right at the intruder. He began to scream in agony as his whole body start to disintegrate, turning into particles into a skeleton and dispersing the bones reaching his demise. Extase then drop down to the ground as the fight ended in a splitting second.
"The more intense the fight, the more intense my weapon. You shouldn't have underestimated me." Mine warned.
After dealing with Kaku, Mine then approach the Extase Imperial Arms and clutch to him, embracing it remembering her lost friend, Sheele. Tatsumi could only look in sadness thinking about the purple-haired girl and the blue blur could tell that he's sadden but can feel it in his heart. Sonic's ears perk up sensing something that's coming to their way. Tatsumi look over to his hedgehog friend wondering what's up.
"Something wrong Sonic?" Tatsumi asked.
"I'm starting to pick up someone that's coming here in this direction." Sonic sensed.
"Could it be reinforcements?"
"I don't know, I can't picture it but I'll know once I find out."
"Then we should be ready for those bastards. I don't them to get the drop on us again."
"Agreed."
Elsewhere…
"Kaku has been defeated, and they're almost finished with your troops sir." Mimi informed.
"My my, what a tragic turn of events. Time to go to Plan B." Dr. Stylish commented.
Mimi then stop, hearing another noise that's coming this way.
"Doctor! There's something flying over us." Mimi reported.
"Huh?"
Little did they know, Mimi is telling the truth. A gigantic monster is up in the sky and flying over the Stylish gang. When they turn to see what is it, turns out it's a danger beast and it looks like a manta ray fish.
"That's a Danger Beast Air Manta." Dr. Stylish exclaimed.
"Wait. There's someone riding on its back." Me pointed.
When Me get a look go, he soon spotted someone is riding on the manta.
"Wait a second. It's Ex-General Najenda. And she's even brought two other people with her too." Me added.
"Oh wonderful! This is turning to be exciting and entertaining. Looks like we're going to have ourselves a party here." Dr. Stylish retorted with a glee.
"Headquarters let's pound of their fourtune-telling arms producing trouble near the hideout and became pass. Glad I'm back as soon as I found out. This is your shot new recruits, time to show me what you're made of." Najenda commanded.
"Well isn't this a fun surprise, this actually turn out great for me. Everyone one of you is going to be my test subjects, it's time I unveil my trump card."
With Akame…
Akame still engaging in a fierce battle with Toby as the intruder is launch up in the air for an aerial strike but Akame answers back as he sliced his right arm causing the blood to splatter. Toby gritted his teeth and lands down to the ground glaring daggers at the assassin.
"If I can't finish you then I'll just chop you up. Get ready because it's going to hurt." Akame threatened.
"*Chuckle* During my current condition, I can't feel pain anymore." Toby countered.
Toby charge at Akame created a blade from is right arm and swung his but AKame blocked it with her katana. Toby then unveil a gun hidden in his mouth and shot a bullet just like Seryu use her gun that shot and killed Sheele. Akame senses it and dodges it, cutting his left arm which frustrated Toby. He creates another blade from his left and again charge at Akame but uses her speed and slice on of his leg. Toby then turn and creates a gun to blast Akame but all of sudden, he was interrupted by a metal spear piercing through his chest by Lubbock who aided Akame to finish him off.
Toby collapse down on his knees and cough up blood.
"Damn you. This wasn't even your fight." Toby stated.
"My home and my friends are honestly in danger. Do you expect me to watch from the sidelines not helping my friends?" Lubbock countered.
Akame readied her sword and finish the job by cutting Toby's head that pop out in the air and sheathe back her sword and she and Lubbock rush outside to reunite with the others.
Outside…
Sonic, Tatsumi, and Mine look up in the air and sees a flying manta ray fish flying around.
"What is that? More enemies?" Tatsumi questioned.
"Beats me. Does anyone know?" Sonic pondered.
"Hang on, let me check." Mine retorted using the scouter to find out who.
When Mine zoom in and to see who's on board on the flying manta ray, turns out it's Najenda who just return back from the Revolution HQ.
"Well what do you know it's the boss." Mine discovered.
"Sweet! Perfect timing. Wait a minute that's not fair." Tatsumi stated.
"What's not fair?"
"How come they get to ride on a fish? I wanna ride on a fish."
"Uh… I'm not sure how I'm going to respond to that."
Sonic shook his head and look at the flying manta ray. He was happy that reinforcements just arrive and things just got interesting. Unaware, there is someone hiding by the bushes staring directly at Mine with that sinister look. He draws out two of his daggers and secretly launches up in the air ready to assassinate Mine but suddenly, he was kicked right in the face by Leone with that angry look.
"You really caught me off guard didn't you?" Leone stated.
The red haired assassin crash down to the ground and roll over two times and trying to recover.
"I was passed out and hungover and you throw a knife at me. That's some serious ass-kicking my friend." Leone threatened cracking her knuckles with her Imperial Arms activated.
The three look over to the blonde dumbfounded and Leone picks the assassin up by the neck, lifting him up in the air.
"Word of advice, I'm a fan of surprises but I hated when it happen to me."
The assassin summons a blade from his shoe and try to execute her but Leone caught it with her mouth then slams him down real hard that cause the ground to shatter and create a little crater, killing him instantly.
"You did manage to get a good one and man does it hurt. Oops oh crap. I think I killed him." Leone realized.
"Um sis… you're ok now right?" Tatsumi asked.
"Yeah. He just surprise me at first that's all but I can regenerate fast when I'm at beast form so I'll be just fine."
"That's awesome to hear."
"Where's Sonic?"
"Right here." Sonic answered waving next to Mine.
Akame and Lubbock arrive and meet with the others.
"Is everybody ok?" Akame asked.
"Yeah."
"Good I think we're all here."
Unaware, more of the white masked, intruders pop out from the woods and surround Night Raid and they all stand guard.
"Looks like we still got some work to do." Tatsumi stated.
"This doesn't make any sense. How did they pass setting off my traps?" Lubbock pondered.
"I can't pick up anyone's smell either." Leone sensed.
"No matter, we're all here so let's take care of these guys." Tatsumi gestured.
"Right." Akame nodded.
Suddenly, Akame collapse down to the ground including Lubbock, Leone, and Mine except for Sonic and Tatsumi.
"Akame… what's wrong with you guys?" Tatsumi asked.
"I can't move… my body…" Mine struggled collapsing to the ground.
"I know this. It has to be hypnosis. I remember this happen back at the boat."
"No it's not that Tatsumi, they're affected by poison. Someone has poison them but from where?" Sonic pondered.
"But who could poison them instead of us. I'm wearing Incursio so how does it not affect you?"
"In case you didn't know, I surrounded my body with Chaos Energy, creating a barrier that blocks away any type of dangerous poision or viruses that come at me."
"So it's up to us now, you and me. Good thing you're not poisoned Sonic."
"Yeah. Let's take thse guys down then find out whose responsible for the poison."
"Right."
Before Sonic and Tatsumi could team up to fight just like they did back at Night Raid but it all stop when someone came crashing down to the ground surprising everyone from the shockwave.
"What the…" Sonic trailed off.
Sonic got a clear look once the smoke had cleared away. Sonic's eyes went wide when he spotted a a tall man who looks in his late-20's with distinctive, bull-like horns coming out of the sides of his head. He also wears a white robe carrying a stave-like weapon.
"Is he… with us?" Leone pondered.
"Now exterminate every foe you see Susanoo." Najenda commanded.
"Understood." Susanoo obeyed.
"Susanoo?" Sonic repeated.
Susanoo slowly approach the white masked assassins wielding his weapon and summons the spinning blades and charge at them. He then cut through multiple targets and knock them off who happen to try striking from behind with his fist then all of them launch up in the air to jump Susanoo but Susanoo again use his weapon and killing every last one of them before they can do anything about it.
"What the hell…" Tatsumi said in absolute shock.
"You said it pal." Sonic added.
The Cliff…
"Sir! One of them has jumped down and has pulverized the entire infantry." Me reported.
"But that's impossible. The poison should affect every living being in the area." Mimi exclaimed.
"Maybe not. He might have an unlisted Imperial Arms in which case I don't need to really include him in my research." Dr. Stylish said pulling out the detonator and press the button.
It begin to blow up the white masked assassins around Susanoo creating an explosion that made Dr. Stylish smile with joy.
"*Chuckle* Do you like my explosive? What now?" Dr. Stylish taunted.
Night Raid watch the cloud to slowly face hoping if Susanoo was killed in the explosion but when they waited patiently for the results, he was still alive but some of his body parts are missing due in the explosion. Surprisingly, he begin to regenerate, self-healing himself in the process shocking Mine and everyone else.
"Oh my god. Don't tell me…" Mine trailed off.
"I've only heard of these: he's an organic. He's a human Imperial Arms." Me recognized.
Susanoo narrowing his eyes over to Mine surprising the pink hair girl. He slowly approach to her and knelt down causing Mine to get uncomfortable.
"Um… what are you…"
Mine didn't finish as Susanoo then surprises Mine when he suddenly fixed her hair straight shocking everyone.
"Faced." Susanoo commented.
"Wait what?" Mine pondered.
"I did not see that one coming." Sonic said earning a nod from everyone else.
Najenda riding the flying manta ray pondering about the invasion to Night Raid.
"Whoever did this, find a spot where he can easily spy on everyone. He's probably hiding upwind so that the poison can't get to him. If there's somebody calling the shots from above then he must be somewhere over…" Najenda thought.
The boss take out her binoculars to spot the man around the cliff and found the target appearing to be at south east.
"There!" Najenda spotted.
"Susanoo. There at the cliff on south east, don't let them get away." Najenda commanded.
"Understood."
The Cliff…
"We've been discovered sir." Mimi reported in shock.
"Nothing we can isn't it? All we can do is RUN!" Dr. Stylish shouted ditching away.
"Poison doesn't effect on organic type. You must either destroy the core or mobilize the wielder." Dr. Stylish thought.
The flying manta ray stop them before they can escape even stopping Dr. Stylish.
"My, my, she's even more tenacious than I thought." Dr. Stylish commented.
Susanoo reappear and jumps down the ground readied to complete his task that Najenda ordered him to do.
"There's nothing to worry Dr. Stylish." Me said.
"We are your guardians till the bitter end. I promise you are in good hands." Hana added.
"Oh please you don't stand a chance! I design you three for recon not hand-to-hand combat. Now it has come to this…" Dr. Stylish thought.
"I'll have to protect myself. Time to pull out my second trump card: Danger Beast Shot. Sorry but you leave me no choice." Dr. Stylish unveiled.
"Are you ok Dr. Stylish?" Me asked.
Dr. Stylish with a sinister grin, began to transforms as he begin to become a giant, emerging himself with a danger beast that shock his pawns.
"What a wonderful sensation. I've successfully emerge my body with a danger beast so I can personally kick your ass!" Dr. Stylish exclaimed.
"He is gorgeous." Hana commented.
"Very impressive master." Me added.
Dr. Stylish grab both Hana and Me still have that sinister grin.
"But first I'm going to need some delicious nutrients." Dr. Stylish said as he devoured two of his pawns.
Mimi witnessing this, she begin running away in fear but Dr. Stylish stop her and grab her so that he can devour her as well. He even begin enlarging himself, getting bigger by the second.
"Just as I suspected, scarfing up some nutrients is making me level up!" Dr. Stylish said with glee.
Night Raid looking at the giant as Dr. Stylish getting bigger.
"What is that thing?" Tatsumi asked.
"He's a mutation… and he's totally gross." Mine answered.
"Well this isn't bad but I still like to be bigger. That Imperial Arms guy got me press even when I'm a giant. I suppose in order if I truly want to this battle, I'll have to grow even larger!"
Dr. Stylish begin to attack Susanoo but the organic Imperial Arms dodged him and use his weapon to strike but there isn't no effect.
"Interesting." Susanoo said.
Tatsumi watching the fight, he decide to give Susanoo a hand.
"I better go help." Tatsumi said.
"Tatsumi wait…" Akame stopped.
Tatsumi look behind sees Akame grabbing his cape.
"I can't walk but I need you to take me with you ok?" Akame requested.
Tatsumi smile behind the armor and nodded.
"Sure thing. You better hold on tight." Tatsumi accepted.
He picks up Akame in a piggy-back ride and heads over to help Susanoo. Sonic cross his arms watching the fight as Leone walk up to him.
"Are you going to help?" Leone asked.
"Nah. They got this in a bag. I had enough fight for one day." Sonic declined watching the show.
Susanoo dodge another attack from Dr. Stylish who is trying to devour the organic Imperial Arms. He then notices Tatsumi and Akame join in the fight and with that, the trio work together to take down the crazy scientist. Tatsumi with Akame launches up in the air with Akame readied her katana and deliver a slash but the skin blocked the sword as it is didn't pierce the skin. Dr. Stylish couldn't help but grin and just about to return the favor when all of sudden, he gets blasted by the giant's face when Mine show up riding the flying manta ray.
She again shot another beam that struck Dr. Stylish down to the ground. Tatsumi landed on the knee of the giant and stare down at the giant.
"You lost all of your little pawn, you do know it's over do you!" Tatsumi shouted charging at the top of Dr. Stylish's head.
Dr. Stylish begin slaming his hands down but Susanoo blocked it with his weapon, giving them passage way to Dr. Stylish. The crazy doctor refused to lose so he try putting up all the stop but Tatsumi answers back as he tosses Akame over at Dr. Stylish and goes with the finish.
