Sakura Chapter

Episode 3: Beserker

"METAL OATH!! FIFTH GEAR!!" Blackjaw screamed with a wide grin on his face as his feet dug into the ground with two stamps. He looked up as his black pieces of metal flew towards him as if being pulled by a magnet. The whole right half of his body was a black shiney metal and other half was his normal self. The metal side of his face looked something similar to Robocop he had a crimson red eye and his black jaws were as thick and wide as the Earl's. His right arm was covered in metal and he had long metal claws and on the right side of his back was a heavy turbine like jet booster and his foot was like heavy and had metal spikes along the calve of his leg with small turbine boosters on his ankle.

"You...have gone completely insane...allow me to relieve you of your misery." Iceberg said taking a huge mammoth like step forward and pointing his iced axe at Blackjaw who stood waiting eagerly.

" Misery? I don't call this feeling misery you hair bastard..." Black replied as his head turned a full 360 degrees and back at Iceberg. "This is...excitement!" With that Black took a powerstep forward as he flew towards Iceberg and phased out with a crimson blood red light. He reappeared just infront of Iceberg with a grin on his face. He slammed his fist straight into Iceberg's jaw causing him to go sliding to the side just alittle.

"Blackjaw cut it...OUUUUUUUUTTTTTTT!!!" Rodo shouted as she flew towards him on her Umbrella. She raised it up and swung it at him but he merely raised his forearm blocking the blow.

"Heh...Blackjaw? That's not my name...How very disrespectful..." Black replied as blood ran from his left eye. He placed his palm over Rodo's face and pushed her back causing her to slid away from him. Iceberg took that opportunity and slammed his palm down on the ground causing ice spikes to run along the ground towards Black. The ice covered him in stalagmites.

"Hmph.." Iceberg looked up and Blackjaw's right metal eye glen once. With that he bursted out of the ice with black electricity and sparks bursting off of his body like a busted computer. Rodo flipped down landing beside Iceberg while holding her umbrella a sword.

"This is bad Berg...he might blow!" Rodo said while getting red.

"I know..." Iceberg replied tightening the grip on his axe. Bursting out fo the ground behind him was a large metal arm with huge blades for fingers and a long iron like forearm. Rodo and Iceberg turned around to see a hand flying down at them, they both phased out and appeared in the air to see Black's left arm like a huge root stuck into the ground. He raised his arm from the ground and shot his arm up at the two.

"Tch." Rodo smiled with a smirk as she used her umbrella knocking the arm away. "Carnival of Carrots!" She shouted as lots of spike like carrots appeared around Black. The needles all struck him at the same time causing a large smoke like explosion. Appearing just beside them was Black with his right fist raised up. Rodo's eyes grew wide as she seen him fly slowly towards her with his fist up ready to strike. 'How...' She thought. Iceberg appeared infront of her at the last minute with his axe raised and Black punched the side of the axe. They both clashed then broke away from one another.

Iceberg flew back while floating on ice crystals and Black flew back while floating on his turbines. "Your reallly starting to piss me off walrus man!" Black said holding up his right and left arms as they transformed into two huge metal like cannons with metallic turbines behind them that spun like Bahamut's generater gathering non elemental energy into his cannons. Iceberg slid back gather ice into his axe..." DIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! GIGA DESTROYER!" Black shouted as blood spewed from his mouth. Blasting out from his cannons were two crimson red energy blasts that shot towards Iceberg in two large beams. Iceberg slashed his axe to the side firing hundreds of enormous icedragons in one huge beam.

The two beams clashed.

BOOM!!!!!!!

Floating in a dark abyss was Lost, her eyes closed she let her body drift through the darkness. 'Where am I?' She thought. 'Am I dead?...no...not dead...I haven't fulfilled my purpose yet.' She thought. 'It's so cold here...Black where are you?...help me you...you idiot.'

Cutting through the darkness was a beam of light. With that her left eye opened to see a hand reach in and grab her by the color of her hakama. She was pulled up gently through the dark space into the light. In no more than an instant Lost was brought to the battle field, she was down on her knees gasping for air as a dust surrounded her on all sides. "Are you alright...sorry Rodo can get carried away sometimes." A voice said to her. When she looked up standing beside her was a man with long black and spikey hair with a crimson red coat and red eyes, he had black a black wing perked from his left back and wore an black suit underneath it. "Vincent?" She said raising an eyebrow.

"Heh...sorry my name is Oz, but I do get the whole Vincent Valentine thing alot." He laughed with a gentle smile. He pulled Lost to her feet as she blush wildly from the slightest touch. After fantasizing she remembered her place and what happened.

"Black!" She said immediately turning to look around.

"Blackjaw, he's right over there." Oz said pointing his head in the direction. "My Garden is such a mess."

Off in the distance standing up from the smoke was Blackjaw, as his long sleeveless red cloth like coat swayed in the wind he peered ahead with a heavy grin showing his black razor sharp teeth. Standing across from him was a 9 foot tall walrus wearing panda's fur on his back and white metal armor underneath. His big ice tusks sticking straight up and his ice axe in his left hand ready. Standing on the Ice Walrus' side was Rodo, her black dress was ripped showing alittle of her panties, her long thigh socks were also full of holes and ripped as well along with her shoes being ruined.

"Wha...what happened here?! Blackjaw..." She said starting to run over before a gentle hand touched her shoulder.

" Blackjaw is suffering from a program overload...any second now his body is gonna explode." Oz replied. "Like a timebomb."

"WHAT!" Lost said placing her hands on her head.

" I know it's very unfortunate." Oz said rubbing his chin alittle.

" Can't you do something..." Lost said.

"Well if we could shut him down then that would stop him from exploding but there is another problem we'll have to deal with in the future." Oz said as his eyes narrowed. "And that's the other Black..."

" Other Black?" Lost asked.

"Yeah, you see...all man-eaters have a split personality, the human side and the man-eater side. It's in all of us...but Type C Man-Eaters have three sides, the human, the man-eater and the machine...The one that's acting up right now is the machine part of his body. It was overloaded with power so much that it malfunctioned and has gone haywire." Oz explained.

" Well...err how do we shut him down?" Lost asked raising an eyebrow.

" Simple just knock him out." Oz said with a nod.

"Done!" Lost said phasing out. When she reappeared she was standing in the same place she was before she left with Oz's hand on her shoulder.

"I'll go...will you hold my coat for me?" He asked smiling down at her. Lost blushed madly again then nodded with that Oz handed his crimson coat to Lost and walked over to the situation.

'This man...is the Man-Eater King...he's the most powerful Man-Eater on the face of Spira...but his smile...it's almost human.' Lost thought as she watched him walk calmly over to the bout.

Oz phased infront of Rodo and Iceberg. "You two are pressured to use your true powers...speaks much for this boy..." Oz said with his hands in his pockets.

"Oz-sama..." Iceberg and Rodo immediately dropped to one knee before him.

"It's a shame he can't control it though." Oz said raising up one hand.

"Eh?! Who the fuck are you!?" Berserked Black yelled as his long tongue hung out of his mouth. Half of his tongue was metal even.

" I am Oz, I'm the one who invited you here, but should I have known you'd do this I would have saved the invitation for later." Oz replied with a straight face as he placed his hands in his pockets. "Blackjaw I had intended to make you replacement King of the East but after viewing your performance today I have reserved my judgement."

"DON'T FUCK WITH ME!!" Berserk Black phased out and appeared just infront of Oz who held up one finger and blocked Black's punch causing sonic winds to blast past them both.

" Hmm you really are strong I might just have to use two fingers next time." Oz said with a smile. He phased out and appeared on the other side of Black, Black dropped to his knees as the metal on his right side popped off of him revealing his normal body. A huge gash of blood seeped through Black's chest as he fell down to his face. His eyes were wide and his body remain motionless and covered in a pool of blood.

Rodo and Iceberg walked up to Black's body. " Is he..." Iceberg started.

" No...I intentionally missed any vitals...he'll be fine." Oz said with his hands in his pockets.

" A beserked mechanaloid...something I've only heard about in rumors." Iceberg said sheathing his axe on his back.

" Yeah well as you can see their very much real...gather him up let's go." Oz ordered.

" Yessir." Iceberg wrapped his large hand around Black's neck and picked him up onto his shoulder. The three of them started to walk towards Oz's castle spire until Lost phased infront of them.

"Hey wait!" Lost said.

" Aww my coat thank you miss..." Oz said walking up to her. She handed it back to him while looking away from him as to not blush.

"Lost is my name." She responded. "Anyway...what are you doing with him?"

" As he is I'm afraid we can't let him run wild..." Oz said putting on his overcoat with his hands fixed behind him like a scientist.

" Wha..." Lost said as her eyes broadened. "Why not?!"

" His psyche is damaged and synchronization with his cyber brain is below 0, when he wakes up most likely he'll still be beserked. I cannot risk someone mindlessly trampling all over this world and alarming Yevon." Oz explained.

"What are you sayin...synchronization what the hell are you talking about?!" Lost shouted.

" Hmm you know about anime right...think about Ichigo, how he had that Hollow inside of him and it was taking over his body slowly...same principals apply here, Black's personalities are at war...the man, the man-eater and the machine. Their having one big battle royal in his head...whoever wins is who gets the body...and my money is on the Machine." Rodo explained and smiled.

" But Rodo I thought you liked Black." Oz said with a shrug. "If the machine wins he'll have no emotions."

" I do...I wuv him...but if the machine almost pulled me and Iceberg into going super then the Black chan is in trouble." Rodo said waving her hands around.

" What...so your saying that Black could possibly..." Lost started.

"Die...only one personality can have the body...if one wins the other two are sent to the back of the mind to be overwritten by data. It's like being dead in his case." Iceberg replied.

" Come on...the only thing we can do now is wait for Black to wake up...when he does there will be a victor." Oz said opening the castle spire door.

" If it's not Black chan we gotta kill em." Rodo said simply.

WHAT THE FUCK?!

Author's Note: As you can see Oz is no joke, even Blackjaw sup'd up like he was couldn't lay a hand on him. He blocked his fist with just a finger, Oz is like a God Man-Eater...ain't no touchin em.
