Battles Galore Part V
Everyone turned to see Serpro. He was simply standing there absolutely stunned. Suddenly his red aura flared up with a ferocious roar he rammed into the next door as it pushed him backwards he roared again and released a stream of molten plasma from his mouth. The molten mass melted through the obstruction leading to another hallway. Not satisfied yet however Serpro began ramming himself over and over again into the wall leaving humongous dents. How dare they. How dare they! They had robbed him of almost all of his family, two kids, one human, the other reploid. That's all they had left him! He would make them pay he'd make them all pay! The aura died down and Serpro collapsed into sobs and roars of pure sorrow and grief. Everything he had once held dear was gone. He sensed the others coming up behind him, but he didn't care. Eventually Takato and Guilroid knelt down beside him and tried to comfort him. These two were now the only remnants of his family he had…the last of the Atsumasha family line and he was the last of the Yuromisha line. And sitting here moping wasn't going to solve the problems. No defeating Apollyon was going to save them and give his last remaining family a bright future. He stopped sobbing rose to his feet and walked down the hallway.
"Well are we going to kick Appolyon's sorry butt or what?" Everyone sighed relived that Serpro was back to normal. They all left the room and headed down the hall.
They entered a new room this one was smaller than the recent room but perfectly capable for a battle to take place. Enker told everyone to halt and stepped forward. It was quiet…too quiet. He swung his lance to the side absorbing a disk of energy that had been thrown at him. A large mine flew to the ceiling and exploded debris starting to rain down.
"Massimo look out!" Massimo was shoved from behind by Steel Massimo just as a large chunk of debris sealed everyone off. The reploids watched carefully prepared for anything. A blast of orange energy was released out of thin air. Enker caught it and redirected it back to its source it impacted with something and exploded. Two reploids appeared from out of nowhere. One was silver and gold with a gold helmet with black visors. In the center of the helmet was a red crystal. The other was the exact opposite. He was very tall and very round. He had a giant gray crystal which gave him a pot-belly appearance His armor was red and his mid-sections were blue. A golden ring was behind his back He had the appearance of a cyclops because he had only one red eye showing. His hair was that of a Mohawk ending in a long whip like pony tail and large bolt heads were all over his body.
"That was pretty smart Hunter scum." This came from the smaller yellow reploid holding his right arm where he had been hit by his own attack. "We are Bit and Byte. I'm Bit."
"I am Byte." said the taller red one with no emotion. He was clearly a very dull person who only focused on his job. Too bad that job was killing them. "And now you perish." The large red one lifted his foot and brought it down hard. A line of purple sparkling energy ran from his foot and pulled a large section of the ceiling down cutting them off, each stuck with one of the two Elite.
(Organization theme music starts) Enker leaped to avoid the debris only in time to receive a spiral kick from Bit who had quickly dashed up to attack.
"Ha! You're weak. Beating you will be no problem!" He leaped onto the wall and launched himself forward. He flew across the area and activated a pink beam saber. Enker dodged just as the blade came over where he had been standing moments ago. He saw Bit right next to him but before he could raise his lance he was sent flying backwards from a kick dealt by Bit. As he slammed into the wall he saw Bit coming at him again with his pink saber. This time he switched to a new tactic. He caught the blade in mid air holding it back with his lance. This destroyed the momentum Bit had created causing him to fall to the floor. He got sweep kicked in the face by Enker. He slid across the floor and back flipped as Enker brought his lance down where his head had been seconds ago. He flipped to his feet and released a blast of energy that slammed into Enker's chest. He recoiled just in time to receive another punch from Bit. Bit leaped up and hurled another disk of energy at him. It struck him and to his dismay immobilized him. He struggled to get loose as Bit came at him again with his saber attack. The saber gashed across his shoulder causing him immense pain. The immobilization wore off. "Dang it I missed. Oh well we know that won't happen again will it?" He kicked off the wall again soaring at him. Enker suddenly leaped upwards and brought his heel down on Bit's back Bit crashed to the ground deactivating his beam saber. He lobbed a ball of energy at him but Enker was ready.
"Right back at ya!" His lance absorbed the energy and with a quick twist he sent the energy from the other side of the lance. Bit was caught by surprise and was rammed from the front by his own attack and sent flying into the wall. As he recovered he saw Enker dashing at him with his saber headed straight for him. He leaped up pushed off the wall with his hands activated his saber. The two weapons met with a clash each ruining the wielders momentum. This began a melee of swipes from the saber and the blade. Enker was trained in close-range combat and Bit wasn't as skilled but his speed gave him an advantage. The duel finally ended when Bit leaped backwards and released a blast of energy. Enker absorbed it and sent it right back at him. Bit was prepared though and had released another blast of energy which collided with the other creating a blinding cloud of smoke.
"I've had enough fun!" Dark lightning danced around Bit destroying the smoke. Eight dark violet kunai appeared between his fingers. With blinding speed Bit tore into Enker. The speed was unparallel the kunai dug into his body giving him punctures and gashes all over the place. Bit leaped back and released the kunai throwing them straight into each of Enker's shoulders causing black lightning to crash down on him. As Enker tried to see he received a hideous uppercut from Bit which sent him flying into the air. "Got you now!" Bit leaped across the room kick flipped to the other and launched himself into the air coming straight at Enker with his saber above his head. But Bit was blinded by a bright light and lost sight of his target falling, hard, back to the ground as he picked himself up he looked to where he had last saw Enker. In Enkers place stood a imposing figure in blue and gold lion head armor with a horned golden helmet. In one hand he carried a blade of gold steel, in the other his lance. On his back was a gold shield. He landed and glared at Bit.
"ITS TIME YOU LEARNED YOUR PLACE! KNEEL DOWN BEFORE GLADIATOR!" He then dashed forward at an incredible speed. Bit panicked and simply leapt high into the air and over Enker's deadly charge. He then charged forward in an attempt to attack him from behind. Enker's gold sword caught Bit's and the two began to try and push their way through the other's defense. Finally Enker ducked underneath Bit catching him off-guard. He then kicked upwards sending Bit high into the air. "LION'S BARRAGE!" He leaped up ramming Bit in the back with his two weapons crossed. Bit cried in agony but the attack wasn't done yet. Enker flipped around grabbing Bit's arms and holding them hard against his back. "CHARIOT OF THE GLADIATOR!" With his feet planted securely in Bit's back they streaked towards the ground in an orange lion shaped aura. With a resounding crash Bit plunged into the ground allowing Enker to leap off as the last phase of the attack took place. The lion aura spread around Bit's area and then erupted in a blaze of orange light. Bit was thrown high into the air and fell with a resounding thud, to the ground. He struggled to his feet took two steps forward and then fell backwards turning to black vapors before he hit the floor. The wall had taken a beating from his strongest attack and fell as dust to the ground.
Massimo pounded the wall of debris but it was too tightly packed and withstood the blows.
"Try all you like. It won't budge. You are trapped and your doom is evident!" (Organization Theme music starts) Byte charged forward in a tackle maneuver Massimo gripped his hands and the two giants pushed with all their might trying to break the other. Byte won. He swung his head around causing his ponytail to whip him in the eyes. Massimo let his guard down for a second. Byte took advantage of this and with a huge punch sent Massimo flying into the wall. As Massimo rose he called forth his Interceptor, this was nothing like his Massive Lance It was made of red-steel and looked like a fiery umbrella. Plus it was so powerful one hit could leave any enemy senseless. Byte launched a mine from his hand which disintegrated after it touched the dangerous metal on the Interceptor. Stunned Byte simply stood there giving Massimo a chance to get some ground. Byte recovered and decided to try his tackle attack once again.
"Not today!" Massimo thrust the Interceptor hard into Byte's gut throwing him backward with great force. He recovered and released a barrage of mines at him. The mines that came in contact with the weapon were instantly disintegrated but others managed to attach themselves to the wall. Now Massimo couldn't afford to be pushed back until the mines exploded. However Byte had taken complete advantage of Massimo's in-action. Massimo dropped his Interceptor and caught Byte's hands. The two were in another confrontation after a while Byte tried to whip Massimo in the eyes again. Bad mistake. Massimo ducked down catching Byte off balance he then lifted him up and threw him into his own mines. The mines blew up knocking out some of the rubble which buried Byte. Massimo bent down to pick up his lance but got thrown backwards by a blast of gravity from Byte. Massimo struggled to get up. Just to get punched backward again by a fist which came out of a warp. Massimo continued to get pummeled by Byte's punches and with a brutal punch to the gut he backed off as Massimo crumpled to the ground. Byte smirked and launched one of his mines. The mine impacted with the weakened Massimo driving him even further into the wall. Byte bent down and picked up Massimo's Interceptor and silently made his way towards Massimo preparing to finish the job once and for all. Massimo struggled to escape but it was too hard. He desperately tried to remember what his teacher had told him. Suddenly he got an idea. As Byte tried to run him through he grabbed the Interceptor ignoring the searing pain that resulted from him touching the weapon. Not being able to move Byte tried to throw him off and he did, threw him out of the hole in the wall that is. Free, Massimo wrenched his weapon out of Byte hands and with a momentous punch of pure brawn and strength sent him flying backwards. Now having some breathing time Massimo shone bright yellow and when the glow had abated he was wearing pure gold armor with ruby wings. Byte began to glow purple and two dark violet spiked bazookas appeared in his hands.
"Now let's see how you do against me in my GLINT ARMOR!" Byte recovered from the blow he had been dealt and using his new power warped in front of Massimo to attack him again. He punched, only to have it caught with little effort by Massimo. Byte tried a haymaker with his other fist but that too was caught without difficulty. As the two warriors stayed there in a deadlock Massimo shoved forward with all his might over powering Byte and throwing him forward. He began to glow bright red and his wings generated a ball of red energy. "BERSERK CHARGE!" The blast fired forth as a huge beam of red energy. Byte's bazookas powered up and released two beams of purple energy. The power released was phenomenal. The two attacks exploded with a huge blast which blew them both backwards. Massimo saw a warp open up and grabbed Byte's hand and forced his way through the warp. He appeared right in front of Byte. "Now take a taste of this!" With one arm he threw his Interceptor with all his might. The dangerous weapon flew through Byte's chest crashing into the opposite wall. Byte staggered forward, stopped and fell to his knees in silent death and he turned into black vapor. Suddenly the wall separating him from Enker turned to dust allowing him to return to his ally.
As the wall fell the two comrades walked towards each other gripped hands and shook. Now all they had to do was destroy the wall keeping the rest of their group trapped.
"Think you can destroy this thing Massimo?"
"No way. Not even my Berserk Charge can do it."
"Allow me." The two turned around in time to see a blast of yellow energy released by a black silhouette. They dodged to the side and the blast flew into the wall. They turned to see who had helped them. But whoever it was was gone. The blast had weakened the wall greatly but had not opened a complete path.
"Allow me Massimo." Enker's chest lion opened its mouth and charged a blast of gold energy. "GLADIATOR METEOR!" With a roar it released the blast. Enker caught it in his lance and focused it so the blast was concentrated completely on the weak point of the wall. As soon as the blast hit there was a huge explosion and when the dust had settled a huge crack in the wall was visible.
"My turn." Massimo wedged his fingers in the crack and tried to pry the wall apart but it wouldn't budge. "STEEL STRENGTH!" Massimo began to glow a silvery blue and tried again. With a hideous roar the crack tore open, a lot of it also came crashing down.
"Enker! Massimo! Are you allright?" Nana said. Enker reverted to normal and clutched his shoulder where Bit had sliced him.
"I'm going to have to stay behind guys. My shoulder was gouged by Bit and you can't afford to have a handy-cap slowing you down."
"I'll stay behind to help him out. I'm exhausted from that fight I had with Byte. His gravity powers did a huge number on me."
"Very well, you two rest here and recover your strength." Steel Massimo commanded.
"Yes sir." They both said.
Everyone was walking down the long hall ways.
"Okay I'm starting to get fed up with all these hall ways Nana."
"Hey these tunnels were what separated us from the Rebellion Army you know."
"Yeah but they give so many chances for someone to jump us. Already we've been jumped one, two, three, four times!"
"Make that a fifth time human!" Everyone stopped as a long slice of purple energy came from the side. Ail got cut off when he dodged the blade leaving him alone as a wall of shadowy fire sprang from the ground. "Aww I'm so sorry I meant to hit you please forgive me for missing." The voice was so much like Zero's only more malevolence was in it.. "Don't you just love shadows? They conceal you from your enemies…" Another slice comes at him. "And make great cover for surprise attacks!" Nightmare stepped out from the side of the hall where he had been. "Now shall we begin?" (Organization theme music starts) He dashed forward with his blade attempting a wide slash that would have cut him in half. Ail raised his electric blade and blocked the swipe. He responded by punching Nightmare. Nightmare merely smirked and landed with a flip on his feet. Now he began firing waves and waves of purple energy. Ail did his best to avoid them but his body was slow and hard to maneuver. Most of the slashes missed him but too many didn't. Ail fell clutching his shoulder. Nightmare walked over his blade ready.
"Game over." What he didn't know was that Ail's cannon had been powering up. He brought the cannon to Nightmares chest and blasted him to the back of the wall. As Nightmare recovered he saw Ail coming at him extremely fast. He plunged his sword down into Nightmares shoulder as he dodged him. With a brutal kick Nightmare sent Ail flying dangerously close to the fire. Nightmare no longer had a cocky look in his eyes. He placed his hand to the ground and geysers of dark energy erupted from the ground heading straight for him. Ail dodged the geysers and fired another blast of energy. It headed straight for him. With a yell Nightmare slashed the blast in half. He leaped high in the air and created a huge blade of energy. The blast came at Ail fast. He ducked letting the blade fly harmlessly over him. He got up just in time to get a devastating left hook from Nightmare. But while he was in the air Ail charged energy for one last blast. He flipped over onto his side and released a blast straight into Nightmares back. With a yell Nightmare fell to the ground unmoving. Ail turned to the fire wall wondering how he could break through it. He heard a swishing sound and dodged to the side as a hailstorm of shadowy needles flew through the spot where he had once been. He turned to see Nightmare standing up and beneath him his shadow contorted and moved as though it was alive. With a simple gesture from his hand Nightmare's shadow began to attack Ail. It shifted into lethal spikes that attempted to skewer him. As the shadows backed him into a corner he began to slice through it with his blade. Nightmare seemed to shudder as his shadow was cut by the blade, they retreated back to him. With a cleared path Ail released another blast from his cannon. It headed straight for him but then the shadow rose up to create a shield that blocked the attack. Nightmare fell to his knees and got back up.
"The shadow weakens you doesn't it?!" Ail began firing round of cannon fire into the shadow dodging shadow thorns and shadow needles. Nightmare simply stayed in one place directing the shadows. As the shadows shrunk from the attacks Nightmare got weaker and weaker finally his remaining shadow grew into eight lines that morphed themselves into fanged mouths. They lashed out grabbing Ail's leg and arm. As he tried to pull himself free he felt a horrible pain go up his leg and arm. The shadow was flowing up his arm beginning to envelop him. He pulled with all his might before finally bringing his sword above his arm and leg and chopping them off. As he roared in pain the shadows flew back to Nightmare. With a glare that would melt glass Ail launched his electric blade into the center of the shadows. They writhed and contorted as the electricity paralyzed them. Knowing this would be his last chance Ail took careful aim and fired a huge blast of energy which tore through Nightmares chest. The shadows flew into his body returning to normal. Nightmare began to disintegrate in wisps of dark vapor finally his body exploded in a dark light what was left of him evaporating into the stream never to be seen again.
The flames withdrew allowing the others to move on. Nana and Spider ran over to inspect the damage.
"Its obvious he won't be coming any farther. His arm and leg are damaged badly and there appears to be no sign of his arm or leg."
"It's all right Nana. I don't mind staying behind. Complete the mission and save the humans."
Ok I'm sure you know the drill by now. Bit, and Byte's dark moves were taken from Larxene and Xigbar so they belong to Square Enix.
