Chapter 28: The Choatix vs. The Akatski
The winds were moaning, the breeze blowing in the air rustling the trees. The wind came and blew across the battleground of the Akataski vs. The Choatix who still stood off with each other. The Akatski robes blowing in the wind while the Choatix just looked them over.
"Well." Said Mighty with a click of his tongue as he looked his shotgun over in his hand." I can see this won't really be that useful." Then he tossed it to the ground before him, after seeing Kakazu's ability his big gun didn't appear all that frightening anymore. Vector followed his act and gave up his own gun to the ground. Then Espio turned his vision from his friends to their enemies.
"You might want to keep those." Said Kisame as he balanced his sword on his shoulder." Thought they'll do you no good." Mighty scoffed.
"We'll see about that." He said.
"There are three of them. "whispered Espio to Vector and Mighty. " We should attack as a group, look for a weakness and strike it, we'll be able to take them one at a time then."
"I know that." Vector whispered violently." But we should take them one on one." Then he went to move forward.
"Don't be hasty." Said Espio." We don't know what they can do."
"I've had enough of this waiting." Said Deidara as he put clay in his hands." JUST DIE!" Then he tossed the clay at the three animals and detonated it.
The detonation created a cloud of smoke and sand but did not hurt the Choatix members. So while in this state they decided to strike.
The Akatski watched the smoke from the other side. But then they were surprised when three knives shot out of the smoke and at them. The three quickly jumped out of the way and into the air. But they found themselves to be suddenly clouded by a shadow. When they looked up they found that they played right into the Choatix's trap.
Vector was in the air with a large bubble of gum hanging from his mouth, Mighty hanging onto him. Vector quickly popped the bubble then and there and he and Mighty plummeted to the ground.
Mighty fell down and grabbed onto Deidara and gave him a strong head-butt while he kicked his legs out at Kakazu who blocked. Deidara would fall onto the ground but Kakazu would then grab Mighty's legs and swing him round. But as they fell Mighty was able to break free of his hold just in time as the two hit the ground.
Vector in the meantime had grabbed onto Kisame. He'd tried to swing his sword but it didn't take a genius to realize where Kisame's strength was so Vector quickly held his wrist in place before he could swing. Then Vector grabbed Kisame into a bear hug with his other arm and the two fell onto the ground with Kisame absorbing the brunt of the fall.
Once the crash from the sky was absorbed Vector stood atop Kisame and punched him across the face, then a second time, and then a third.
Deidara picked himself up from the ground and noticed the fighting going on around him. He reached his right hand into its pocket and grabbed a handful of clay, but when he went to pull it out he felt it held down by some force.
Deidara turned and came eye to eye with Espio standing next to him, the chameleon's hand over his own trapping it in its pocket. Dedidara struggled against him but Espio held him there.
Then Espio raised his other hand showing it held a knife. Then he quickly swung it forward aiming for Deidara's chest. But Deidara quickly reached out and caught Espio by the wrist. The two were caught in a clash as they wrestled against each other. Espio struggled and pushed trying to get his blade closer and closer to Deidara's heart but Deidara fought back.
Mighty and Kakazu were several feet away from each other. Mighty groaned and coughed up sand as he slowly balanced himself on the ground and then got onto his knees. But when he got there he was suddenly grabbed from behind and was suddenly lifted up from his neck.
Mighty looked over to Kakazu who violently held Mighty in his grip. But then Mighty shot out his arm and elbowed Kakazu in the stomach, faltering him for a moment. So then Mighty did it a second time. Now Kakazu's grip was weakened so then Mighty grabbed him by his wrists and flipped him over and onto his back in the sand. Mighty stood over him and prepared to come down on him with a punch but as he did Kakazu made a hand sign and suddenly a dome of stone appeared around him. Mighty continued his attack and although he wasn't able to break through the stone structure he did create a big dent in it, a dent that was several inches from Kakazu's face while he still lay on the ground.
Espio and Deidara still struggled against each other, but then Espio kicked out his leg and hit Deidara's leg sending him toppling over to the ground. Espio quickly came down and with the momentum pushed down towards Deidara's chest.
In his weakened state Deidara brought both hands up to struggled against Espio who now had the advantage. Deidara slowly worked his leg up and propped it against Espio's stomach, then with all the strength he had he kicked Espio off of him and send him on his back into the sand.
Espio fell back with a grunt and Deidara quickly capsized on his weakness and quickly dug his hand in his pockets. The Deidara jumped up and flung a handful down a handful down at Espio, detonating it covering the area he was in in fire and smoke.
Vector continued to punch Kisame in the face, his face covered in bruises and blood. Vector hovered over him panting and looked at his battered enemy. Then Vector turned to the sword Kisame limply held at his side. Vector leaned down and grabbed the sword, then held it before Kisame's face. The Akatski member let out a grunted breath as Vector held it over him. Then Vector gripped the sword with both hands and held it over Kisame preparing to finish this. But as he held the sword over his head Kisame smiled, blood staining his teeth.
Because the sword suddenly came alive and spikes shot out of its hilt. Vector realized the sword as the razor-like spikes ripped his hands. The sword fell to the ground as Vector stood there moaning over his hands being cut. Then Kisame grabbed Vector and then shot up head-butting him. Vector then rolled over on the ground as Kisame stood up grabbing his sword while he did so. Then Kisame stood over Vector and kicked him in his side. Vector groaned and fell back onto the ground. Kisame struck again and Vector fell back down. Then Kisame stood over Vector and raised his sword just above his head.
At that point the smoke before Deidara began to disappear and all he saw before him was a molting crater.
"Yes!" He boasted with his hands in the air." I killed him!" But before he could celebrate further he was suddenly grabbed from behind. Deidara cocked his head to the side but saw nothing yet a strong force had covered his mouth. The next thing Deidara felt was a cold piece of steel poking through his skin and stabbing him. Dediara's eyes began to rolled behind his head as he began to bleed form his mouth. Then he went limp and was then slowly lowered onto the ground. A moment later Espio turned visible down on one knee next to Deidara's corpse.
Kisame raised his sword above Vectors head and then he swung down. But then Vector got to his knees and caught Kisame's hand. The two struggled against each other for several seconds and it seemed Kisame had the advantage. But then Vector swung his tail through the sand. The sand shot up and blinded Kisame who stumbled back trying to clean out his eyes. Vector took his chance, jumped up and grabbed Kisame by his coat and swung him around then Vector slammed him to the ground. Kisame laid there dazed for several moments but then Vector quickly stood him up and grabbed him into a headlock from behind. Vector then began to squeeze Kisame's neck between his forearms. Kisame wheezed and tried to fight back, swinging his arms back and elbowing Vector in the stomach. But Vector would not falter and would only tighten his grip afterwards. Kisame eventually became so weak and dazed that he fell back and Vector fell with him, not loosening his grip. Vector only released his grip several seconds after he felt Kisame go limp in his body after he'd squeezed the last breath from him. Then Vector let go and Kisame's body fell to the ground beside his killer.
Vector and Espio turned their heads to see Mighty still battling. Mighty reached inside Kakazu's rock protection and grabbed him by his collar. Then Mighty pulled forward banging Kakazu's head against his own defense. But after his third strike something happened.
Mighty's hand was still in the rock dome but then it became suddenly hot. Mighty looked down and saw the inside of the prism was smoking. Then a second later a flame shot out from the hole at him. There was little time to react and the flame engulfed his right arm.
Might jumped back screaming in pain at his burning limp. At this time Vector and Espio came to his aid.
Kakazu at that point broke free from his rock prison and two creatures were around him.
Mighty jumped up and down on the beach. But then Vector grabbed onto him and put his burning limb in the sand and covered him with it. Mighty relaxed as the flames began to die leaving behind his burned arm. The three stood together and then looked over at Kakazu and the two creatures with him. They were big and black with strange masks around their oddly shaped bodies.
Just then one of them opened its mouth and flames shot out of it. The three Choatix members jumped in different directions avoiding the fire. Then when they looked up the second monster opened its mouth and shot a lightning bolt at Espio. The Chameleon rolled out of the way and the bolt hit the area behind him. The first monster now began to shot fire at Mighty and Vector. The two quickly jumped out of the way.
Mighty jumped back and fire forming just in front of him. He looked across the flames and saw Kakazu standing beside his monsters. But then the two jumped away giving chase to Vector and Espio. Then with a loud warcry Mighty jumped through the fire and onto Kakazu pinning him to the ground.
Espio quickly went invisible and the lighting monster found it hard to keep track of him. But then it heard the crunching of feet against sand behind him. So then the monster turned around and shot a lightning bolt at the ground. It hit the ground creating smoke, but threw the smoke Espio could be seen slightly. So then Espio jumped up and threw the smoke wielding a large knife in his hands. He jumped up and stabbed it into the monsters forehead. Then he swung off to the side cutting the mask further. Espio landed on the ground and the monster evaporated into thin air behind him.
The other monster shot a fireball at Vector who jumped out of the way, covering the area behind him in flames. Vector looked up from the sand and saw the monster fire another at him. Vector scrambled to his feet and barely made it. The force of this blast propelled him several feet away and into the sand. Vector picked his head up from the sand to see his machine gun just in front of him. Then he turned his head around and saw the monster jump into the air and was coming down at him. Vector reached back and grabbed his gun, then he turned and began unloading every last bullet he had into the monster. The bullets shot through the monster and it fell limp in the air. Its body turned into a liquid substance and fell all over Vector. The crocodile now covered in the stuff coughed as he lay there.
At that time Mighty was on top of Kakazu and wrapped his hands around his throat, with his burned arm he couldn't let the fight drag out as his strength was fading. But then Kakazu lifted his hand and grabbed onto Mighty's face. The two struggled against each other with grunts as Kakazu began pushing Mighty off him. As he was forced up Mighty put his hand onver Kakazu's face. But then Mighty raked his hand along Kakazu's face. Kakazu then fell back screaming as Mighty had managed to scrap out his left eye. Kakazu continued to scream as Mighty stood up over him. Kakazu now turned onto his stomach and tried to crawl off. Mighty panted several breaths as he saw his enemy crawl off but then he stormed over and grabbed Kakazu by the back of his head. Then Mighty slammed him down into the sand and kept him there. Kakazu struggled but was too weak to fight it as Mighty pressed his face harder and harder into the sand, forcing him from breathing. The sand surrounded him and covered his mouth and filled his nose. Mighty stopped once he saw Kakazu's legs stop twitching. Then he stood over his enemy panting hard breaths.
Then Mighty looked over as Espio wielding a bloody knife and Vector with his machine gun over his shoulder walked over and stood over him. The three panted heavy breaths as they looked the others battle wounds over.
