Episode 37 - Clash of Super Powers – The Elite's Vs The Cloaked Fighter
The Cloaked fighter, just before making contact with Vlad disappears and reappears kneeling besides the wounded Kuro. The fighter places a hand over Kuro's wound as a green glow engulfs the swordsman healing his wounds nearly instantly. The fighter then stands up and stares at Vlad before saying "now that distraction is out of the way, let us finish this."
Vlad moving into his fighting stance says "it is about time, I was afraid I would become bored."
The fighter appears in front of Vlad punching him in the face sending him backwards to the floor. The fighter gets into his fighting stance as vlad gets to his feet wiping some blood from the side of his mouth. The Elite looks to his associates before charging forward slashing at the fighter several times, but the fighter just dodges out of the way with ease before punching Vlad in the stomach and kicking him away.
Vlad staying on his feet growls slightly before saying "if I had the power of my seal you would be dead in seconds."
Vlad takes up his fighting stance but he is stopped from charging by Magashi who grabs his shoulder and says "in your present state you have no way of winning this fight. Allow me to take the honour"
Vlad shoves Magashi's hand from his shoulder and says "No, this is my fight. I shall kill this insolent fool for even daring to oppose me."
Vlad charges in again but is easily knocked to the side by the fighter who then has to guard against an attack from Magashi as the cast launches a furious storm of attacks. The fighter using some acrobatic skills is able to move away from casts attacks and forms a ball of tech power in his hand forcing it into the chest plate of the cast. Magashi just crumples to the floor unable to move as the fighter moves once again to defend himself from another attack from Vlad.
Carnage logs the last dead guardian into his list before indicating to Lou he had finished. The two casts head towards the basement where the battle is still taking place.
Cain dragging Kura with him, moves towards the door attempting to get to the exit and out of the way of the fight. But due to his injury it wasn't easy and couldn't use his fast step to transport Kura to the location either. As he gets to the door Cain collapses down besides Kura, he quickly checks Kura's pulse and finds that it is still there just very weak, not likely to last more than 5 more minutes. He turns his attention to the cloaked fighter a he dodges another attack from Vlad and counter with a powerful punch to the Elites face.
The fighter takes a second to regroup breathing slightly heavier than normal before throwing a fire ball at Arkana who just barely in time puts up a magic shield. The fighter then turns to Mordakai who is back on his feet after been shot in the leg by Cain's arrow, the beast charges forward throwing punch after punch and kick after kick attempting to make contact with the fighter who with get manuvorbility is able to dodge and block them all.
Vlad getting to his feet by Arkana says "there is something unusual about this fighter, I feel like I have fought him before. I just can't remember where or when."
Arkana taking a second staff from his belt says "I believe a tactical retreat may be in order, but it may take me a couple of minutes to open a telepipe back to HQ."
Vlad still staring a hole through the fighter says "don't open it at the HQ, open it near there. and leave it open for the fighter to come through. Then we can fight him on our own terms. I shall get the artifact well this fighter is distracted with magashi and mordakai"
Arkana nods and starts his incantation to open the portal.
The fighter ducks under a strike from Mordakai and just barely blocks a strike from Magashi before been hit for the first time with a punch in his stomach followed by Mordakai kicking him in the side of his head. The fighter falls to the floor nursing the side of his head as Magashi stomps on his stomach a couple of times. The cast goes to stomp again but is hit in the back with a bullet causing him to topple over. Mordakai seeing the culprit in the form on Carnage with his rifle aimed at the beast just says "Soru" disappearing and reappearing by the cast but isn't able to attack before Carnage forces his fist into mordakai's faces sending him several feet backwards.
Vlad now by the case holding the artifact goes to pick it up but finds his arm won't move. He turns his head round, expecting to see Kuro making some effort to stop him but instead finds that it is Lou. The female cast pulls Vlad round so he is facing her before punching him in the stomach. Vlad coughs up a small amount of blood because of the force of the strike before taking out his beam saber and attempting to strike down Lou, only to have it blocked by lou using her own double saber.
Magashi back on his feet after the gun shot completely ignores the cloaked fighter and makes a bee line for Carnage. The cast bodyguard seeing Magashi's charge takes out two mech guns and starts firing. Magashi seeing the bullets coming for him is able to dodge them by weaving finally getting close enough to Carnage punching the bodyguard backwards into the wall leaving a cast imprint. Carnage pulls himself from the wall charges towards Magashi tackling the red cast to the floor. Carnage lands several punches before Magashi kicks him off and pushes a button on his arm causing a small photon blade to materialise, Magashi getting to his feet charges the now vertical carnage stabbing the guardian through his chest plate with the blade. All around the wound oil starts to leak out, magashi withdraws the blade and stabs Carnage again this time in the side of his neck. The cast bodyguard falls to the floor deactivated.
Lou blocks another strike from Vlad before making a small amount of distance between herself and the Elite. Vlad was a lot stronger than she had anticipated but she was sure she could beat him in time. Lou strikes again trying to use both sides of the saber to his advantage but Vlad been faster than an average human is able to block both sides of the double saber with ease. Finally the Elite sees an openning in Lou's defence and takes advantage cutting off Lou's arm, and in the process disarming her. The female cast attempts to take out a gun to defend herself but Vlad doesn't give her the chance just using his beam saber to slash across her chest plate and through the circuitry underneath.
Kuro using what little strengh he has pulls himself to his feet pulling the sword from his back. Vlad now finished with Lou, turns back towards the artifact and finds Kuro barely standing by it. Vlad growls and says "why won't these damn cockroaches just die."
He then charges Kuro who just stumbles out of the way before swinging his sword to strike the Elite. Both Kuro and Vlad stand motionless for a few seconds before Vlad coughs up some blood and falls to his knees with a slash mark across his front. Kuro a few seconds later falls over unconscious.
Arkana looking at the chaos around him breaths a deep sigh of relieve as the telepipe opens up he quickly shouts to Mordakai and Magashi "get vlad and the artifact quickly, we are leaving."
Mordakai still shaking off the punch from carnage growls as he uses 'soru' to get to vlad. Mordakai picks up his injured conrad before going to pick up the artifact but notices it is missing, he shouts to Arkana "the artifact is missing!"
Both the cast and newman shout "WHAT!" before arkana says "we have no time to search of it now. Just bring vlad and we shall leave"
Mordakai with vlad over his shoulder again uses 'Soru' to join Arkana and Magashi in the telepipe. Just as they disappear The cloaked fighrer looks up and sees the portal, not even thinking he gets up and jumps into it just as it closes up.
Cain half dragging himself from the doorway moves as quickly as he can to check on Kuro, the archer turns him onto his front and checks his pulse then realises Kuro is just sleeping. Cain using his radio calls guardian HQ and says "This is Guardian Cain Hiro, I am part of a team down on Newdaiz, there are several of us dead and a lot of us wounded. Please send assistance quickly, one member of the team may not be alive much longer without assistance."
"this is Headmaster Nav, there is a medic team on Route to your current position. They shall be with you in just a few minutes. Now tell me who amoung the group is dead?"
"there are several death up stairs, I don't know there names. Carnage 192 has been damaged and forced to deactivate itself, it seems the Lou unit is also deactivated. Kuro Nosawa has a stab wound, but it is not to serious. Kura Nosawa is on dying, I coun't find a wound on him though. I think he might be bleeding internally."
"Alright Mr Hiro, what about yourself?"
"I have one arm on the verge of falling off, but that is it"
"Just hold on Cain. We will do all we can to save you all"
