"I don't care about what Giotto will say about this anymore. But if this move will protect my family, I will do it. I'll kill you!"
"Daniel, the sun guardian of Corvino. A pleasure."
"Woah, so fast? I didn't know they'll begin to attack even at the outskirts of their territory. How's it going, Daemon?"
"I've now understood everything, Cozart."
Chapter 24- Combo
The sun and lightning guardian stood against their opponent, the latter having his bazooka out of his pocket. They glared daggers at him, yet Daniel only smiled invitingly. His body language screaming: come get it.
Wordlessly, the duo charged at him; Lambo firing the ten year bazooka at himself to get a stronger version of himself while Ryohei's fist lit up in yellow flames. Just then, they could feel that someone in their team has received all his memories as something clicked in their heads. Only memories of a certain mist came full. Streaks of the respective colours of their previous hair colour appeared, but they paid it no heed.
Daniel took the chance while they stalled to shoot his weapons again, successfully injuring the younger one. The older one was quick enough to dodge the bullets.
"Lambo, kyokutani daijoubu? (Are you extremely okay)"
"Haiyo, shimafu atama! (Yes, lawn head)"
The teen huffed and did his best to stand. He could not feel his left arm anymore but a pulsating pain that was evident. He got shot in the arm, but this was nothing as compared to getting electrocuted, experimented. Lambo hardened himself and glared at the other.
"You're going down!" He shouted, launching his own barrage of attacks, careful not to injure his partner. He took the box he found on the floor and charged it with lightning flames and soon, an ox appeared, sparked with electric green flames.
He paused, gazed at the "beautiful" creature before hugging it around the neck, rubbing his cheeks against it. "Uwah~ I have my own bull!"
Meanwhile, Ryohei was still fending off his crow counterpart, skillfully weaving his way around his opponent to find a perfect blind spot to strike.
"Hey! A little help here please!"
Lambo snapped out of his awe towards the animal, scratching his neck while smiling sheepishly despite the urgent call.
"Whoops! SORRY!" He glanced at his ox, a grin across his face as he recalled what he needed to say to activate the gear. He hopped onto the back of the animal, punching the air while childishly saying, "Gyuudon! Cambio Forma!"
The newly named ox, called Gyuudon, grunted before transforming into a helmet and shield combo. How the familiarity of the objects on him made him surprised and nostalgic. It was like he was transported way back to when he first got a shield as a present from Daemon, even if the latter is and will always be a total creep. He smiled, tightened his arms and shrieked.
"Protect me! Corna Fulmine (Lightning horns)!" The shield glowed and lightning sparked from the sleek black object. Thin projectiles were fired around his radius as he laughed madly. Ryohei nearly got struck but jumped out of the way in time, while Daniel was pierced in the stomach multiple number of times. The corvino sun guardian widened his eyes as the pain registered in his mind.
"Guh! A-Aren't you incredible, b-brat?"
Lambo proudly rubbed his nose, giving the other a superior look. He stuck out his tongue and pulled one of his eyelids, just like how he used to when he was five. Come to think of it, it is about five minutes already, right? Since it was never upgraded.
"Knuckle, I'm only left with a minute! Gotta wrap this up already!"
All of them froze at that moment, letting the information sink in. While Ryohei shrieked in horror and managing to activate his gears (A kangaroo appeared, then took the shape of boxing equipment, bringing up the three minute limit), Daniel grin in delight, knowing that he will be able to remove this obstacle in a matter of minutes.
Thus, with the remaining one minute that Lambo/Lampo had, there was a parry of punches and electric charges fired at one another, the corvino being heavily disadvantaged. Both sides had suffered injuries, but with healing flames, Ryohei still stood tall.
Lambo shot another electric bullet at Daniel before poof-ing away, back to the future. A five year old boy stood in his place, but he had the mentality of an older person. As horrid as it is, his shield was placed on him, tipping him slightly due to the weight.
"Yare yare... my five year old body can't handle the weight of my shield." He mused, tucking said object closer to himself to stabilise. "Ugh, time out for me, Knuckle!"
At that very moment, Daniel was punched over to him, shocking the boy out of his wits. He screeched in horror and glared at his older brother figure. "Why did you pass him to me? I can't... I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS!" Another bolt of lightning sparked, directing themselves to the man right in front of him.
The green head screamed in pain, staggered backwards while placing his hand over his chest to heal the pain. A soft pale gold wrapped around his hand and the wound closed. However, the healing stopped halfway. Surprised, he pressed for more flames, but it still did not close. Daniel cursed aloud and stopped trying to heal himself, grabbing his gun and aimed.
The boy casts a shield over him and his partner, defending them from the bullets. However, the bullet still penetrated the barrier, injuring the boy in the shoulder. Lambo shouted as he fell, deactivating the shield in the mean time. Daniel grinned and stood up, staggering slightly and he pointed the gun to the two, charging up his bullet with an immense amount of sun flames.
"Eat this, you pieces of sh**! Piove de stelle!" [Raining of stars (I know, lame)]
Their surroundings started raining bullets, and the silver head brought his little brother under him without thinking, waiting for the pain to strike.
Yet, none came.
"I can't believe that an old man is fighting a teenager and a child. Ain't that unfair?"
The sun guardian opened his eyes and turned behind him. The bullets had froze in mid-air and a familiar red head stood in front of them, a flicker of a brown flame dancing atop his forehead. His eyes nearly teared up, touched by his timely arrival. However, his first priority is still the little boy in his arms, who had fainted after the loss of too much blood.
"Lambo! Lambo! Wake up, Lampo!"
The little boy groaned and turned slightly, his eyes still closed. Ryohei sighed in relief, slowly putting the boy down for him to rest. He could not pull the bullet out as it was too dangerous, but he pressured the wound till it stopped bleeding.
"Extremely nice timing, Enma!"
Said boy did not reply, but he flings the bullets back at Daniel. However, the bullets did not injure the other badly, only with other surface wounds. Enma cussed aloud, then used telekinesis to throw the man at the wall. Next, he erected a wall surrounding Lambo to protect him from any other danger in the fight. Afterwards, he threw pebbles from the ground, aiming at Daniel's eyes.
The latter noticed the oncoming attack and careened his head to the right, barely avoiding the projectile, which splatter and crashed at the wall behind him.
"HAH! Too slow!"
Despite the taunt, the red head Shimon boss kept his smug grin. Discreetly, he gathered those pebbles he fired earlier into a spear behind him. He was going to make the boss pay for killing his family, for making his family suffer, but his guardian would do for now. His mind now screamed murder.
"Or am I ?"
Just then, the man gasped in pain and doubled over as blood spewed from behind him. He glared at the red head, eyes blinded by fury but he could do nothing. His life force is leaving him already and he could feel the sticky substance named blood pooling beneath him.
Ryohei, who had been nursing Lambo for those few minutes and deactivated his gears for that purpose, noticed the murderous glint in his comrades eyes, shouted over to him, snapping him from his daze. He dashed over to him, grabbing his wrists.
"Enma, don't extremely kill him!"
Enma turned to the silver head, anger spewing out of his posture.
"Why? He killed my family! They are ones responsible for the death of my parents and little sister! Let me at him! Let me go, Ryohei!"
The senior between the two then punched him, in the jaw.
"Wake up! We aren't suppose to kill! We're suppose to save! We're suppose to help those who need it, not go killing people for revenge. Just knock him out, don't take his life."
Enma breathed and sighed, seeing the light in his words. He pulled the makeshift spear out of the man, giving him a harsh punch on his temple to knock the lights out of him. Ryohei grin and gave him a thumbs up.
"Good job, Cozart. Now all you got to do is leave the anger pent up until you see the final boss."
"Cozart? "
He gave a skeptical look then noticed the change in the hair colour of the senior. He shifted his glance to the little boy on the ground (walls broken down already), only to see the same thing -black and green respectively.
"Why did your hair change colours?" He exclaimed, pointing at the weird hair accusingly.
The white-raven head pulled a bit of his hair to where he could see it. His mind went blank, being unable to recall why his hair changed colours. Someone told him about it before but he could not recall the reason.
"I DON'T EXTREMELY KNOW!"
It was expected, Enma told himself before breaking up into laughter. Ryohei soon followed after, laughing heartily as well. After that, Enma locked the man onto the floor using the surrounding grounds and the other picked up the sleeping boy, making sure that he would not hurt him more.
"So... where are you going now, Cozart? And how come you're here?"
Said red head turned to him, clenched his fist as he stared into the dark, a single brighter light a little far off inside. He had came to fight without his guardians this time, and he will shoulder their feelings in this very fight.
"I'm going to keep walking. To where the last fight will be. And I've been told that you guys would be fighting the Corvino. I need to avenge my family."
The now-raven head nodded his head, deciding not to ask anymore.
"Wakata. We'll be here, waiting for Alaude to enter. I'll take care of Lampo at the same time."
Enma walked into the dark, leaving the duo behind to do what they needed to. Suddenly, he recalled a ghastly sight that he recalled. He then shouted through the dark, startling the raven head.
"You better heal that nasty looking scar on your thigh. I suppose your adrenaline was pumping so much, you didn't realise that you've got shot. Or it could just be your tolerance."
The next thing he knew, Ryohei starts shouting about said shot.
"Why are you not with them, pineapple bas*****?"
"Why are you out here then, you law-abiding skylark?"
They growled at each other, being unable to see eye to eye like always. However, for once, they decided not to be childish and asked real, relevant questions.
"Where did they go?"
"The hideout. Down the sewage. Why? Were you lost?"
"Hn."
The 'skylark' started to stalk off in the direction of the sewage, following the trails of recognisable car tires. Just then, his name was called out.
"Hold on, Alaude."
He halted and turned to him, a scowl visible on his face. He really wanted to leave as he could not stand another second of being in the same perimeters of the pineapple/melon. He grunted at Mukuro, who he noticed that he no longer had that red left eye. This, is obvious, Daemon.
"If you found Giotto, already... Giotto, can you please hand him this?"
The raven head's eyes widened, surprised that the melon has something to say to the boss, because the latter hated the blond for quite a while. Mutely, he nodded, walking away immediately.
Mukuro slumped onto the floor before chuckling.
"I'm so done with all these crap."
