Chapter 35

The Final Showdown Begins

For a moment the ruins of the ones great city seemed rather quiet until the sounds of groans and moans were heard coming from all around. Whatever those things were they sure didn't look friendly but at the same time they didn't look that strong either. Oh well, they wouldn't be around for long. As soon as his foot hit the concrete sidewalk it was as if it sent out an alert to all the goons that had begun to inhabit the city. Their dripping flesh almost made his stomach churn as he pulled out his cellphone and looked at the clock.

"Huh so only an hour huh? Not bad." He said as he slipped it back in.

As for the slimy goonies he wouldn't need to lift a finger for them to die. There much have been at least a hundred around him as he stood there just tapping his foot before he began walking out to the middle of the grassy field. They had agreed to work together and he was sure that they wouldn't let him die in such a way.

"What in the living hell is he doing?" asked Kurumu.

"I'm not sure, but he doesn't seem scared. Perhaps he has a trick up his sleeve, but just in case we better get prepared if he needs our help."

Even if they couldn't beat Diachi they could still tear those creatures to pieces if they threatened his life. They continued to watch as they closed in on their young friend who still hadn't moved an inch since he stepped out onto the field.

"So is that as fast as you guys go? A turtle could outrun you." Said Ryo as he gripped his katana.

As soon as they were close enough he looked from side to side before he raised his hilt and sent a surge of electricity up into the sky. As the sky lit up a huge gust of wind began to pick up as a large group of the beasts were lifted up off the ground and chopped up inside an invisible orb. It didn't stop there soon the ninjas from the Island of Wind began rushing out in their true forms made of pure wind. They had no need to worry about being spotted because as long as they chose to do so they could hide within the air or wind. At one point three of his fellow allies began absorbing pieces of broken glass into their forms before they began spinning like large drills into the crowd.

"Dang, what's going on out there?" asked Oshira.

"Well I'll be damned. The shinobi from the Island of Wind have come to our aid." Akio replied.

"Your surprised by this?" asked Tsukune.

"Well yeah, they normally stay secluded to their island and very few have actually seen them. Huh, so I guess our young friend found them and brought them here to help."

The mayhem didn't stop there. With only forty of the beasts left their leader decided to finish them all off. Once Maloni was on top of the nearest building she raised her hands as the wind began to pick up. He couldn't tell if she was dancing or chanting but whatever she was doing seemed to be working. The wind whipped all around until it became visible for them all to see. In that moment it took the form of a large serpent.

"Feast my pet!"

It wasted no time in reacting to her command for as soon as she pointed at the walking group of gunk it began lashing out. Its body twisted and turned as it avoided Ryo and instead gobbled up all their enemies before it tore them to pieces inside its stomach. Once it let out a loud exhale of breathe it vanished.

"Not bad!" he yelled to her.

Though it wasn't over yet, one still remained that he had not seen. It seemed pretty confident that it could take him on, so confident that all it did was attempt to kick him in the groin. Instead the tables turned when its enemy grabbed its leg.

"Nut shot, not cool bro."

And with a slice from his katana he finished off the last one. Well that seemed pretty simple, but there were probably more hiding in the city after what they had just seen. He didn't have time to worry about them though he needed to get into that fortress, but in order to that he would need the wind beneath his feet.

"What are we to do? Our defenses have failed." Asked Grunt.

"I don't know why don't you go down there? I gave you that blood for a reason now get to it!" he responded before he gave all three a swift kick off the fortress.

From the sky he could see three forms getting closer and closer, and bigger as well? It was no illusion, they were actually getting bigger. As soon as their feet hit the earth the three monstrosities shook the earth as their foe stood there looking up at the three giant looking demons. Their bodies seemed to be covered in scales but each looked different. Grunt looked more like a giant gorilla, Ansestra looked like a horrific giant fairy, and Maricha looked like a…thing.

"Whoa that's a pretty cool trick? Do you think you could teach me that?" asked Ryo as he jumped on top of the semi standing market place.

"Such courage coming from someone very small. Tell me do you wish to be crushed or eaten?"

Like hell he was going to have time to answer that when those giant fists began coming down on him. Though he didn't worry too much for he had speed on his side. Once those fists slammed into the building the structure crumbled, but there didn't seem to be any blood.

"Where are you?!" he roared.

Oh he was close. He noticed that the weight of his tail had increased before he looked back to find he hadn't run away but instead had decided to relax on his tail, his black, flaming tail.

"Whew kind of hot isn't it?"

He didn't have time for games. Instead he began whipping his tail around before his mini friend jumped off. Instead of attacking though he simply taunted him which turned out not to be the best idea. With the strength of his tail he sent the young electro flying into a pile of rubble before he grabbed a chunk of the earth and held it above his head.

"Goodnight little man."

He closed his eyes just to play it out before he heard Grunt groan out in pain. When he looked up he saw something up in the air, something with black wings, but as soon as he stood up he saw exactly who it was.

"Hey you stole my hit!" he yelled with a smirk.

"You should have got him while you had the chance! Oh and don't think there isn't any other competition!" Tsukune yelled back as he sent Grunt into his sister.

As soon as they collides everyone came rushing out of the nearby shelter exist and they did not hold back. Oshira and his sis were riding a path of earth towards Grunt while their fellow icy friends did the same. They zipped and skated around all on their own elements as Minami and Tali ran out to him.

"Hey guys how's it going?"

Instead of being greeted with a hug or even a bite to the neck instead Minami simply punched him in the stomach. What the hell?! He had just returned and that's how she greeted him. Although it made since shortly afterwards when she wrapped her arms around him and held him close.

"You're a moron you know that?" she said softly as Tali watched.

"I'm sorry, but I can be like that at times. Sorry for leaving you alone." He admitted as he held her back.

She had been so scared that he might have been dead, but instead of thinking positively she kept thinking of the worst. Now she knew though, he was ignorant with death and wouldn't be taken so easily from her. She was just glad he was back.

"You two can talk later right now we have bigger problems." Akio said as he tried to freeze Grunt's feet.

It was quite obvious that if they were going to defeat these three they were going to need more than just the wind ninja. They were going to need someone much stronger and more experienced with large monsters such as them. While they each had their own strength the only ones who probably stood a chance at taking them down was Tsukune and his family.

"So do you have a back-up plan?" asked Gino as they all backed up.

"Maybe…"

It was time to call in the big guns. As soon as he raised his katana for a second time he shot off another bolt before the clouds began to grow darker. The wind began to pick up as they heard what sounded like loud propellers getting closer and closer. That's when they heard an all too familiar voice.

"Giant black beasts, you are all under arrest for the assist of the felon known as Diachi and for the destruction of the city. Surrender now or we will use deadly force!" they heard as two large flying ships appeared from the clouds.

That sounded an awful lot like a certain water elemental they had met before. The message didn't seem to sink into Grunt thick skull as he went to grab the ship from the air. Like they were going to let that happen for when his hand got even close they unloaded four missiles right into his hand to force him back.

"Damn it, I thought the blood was to protect us!" he grunted as he held his crippled hand.

"Idiot it only regenerates us. We can still feel pain." His sister replied.

While he was suffering from the pain they unloaded four more rounds onto his siblings so they would be distracted while the anchor hit the ground. That blue flowing hair, those blue eyes, yep it was her. The mega perv had arrived.

"What's up little bro? Having some fun without us?" she asked as she rubbed her knuckles onto his head.

"Hey, I thought Shara was supposed to come as well?"

"Oh she's here."

Suddenly a second girl slid down the large chain and landed behind her. That bright red hair, that was his cousin alright.

"We got your call and we headed over here as fast as we could. Are these the pests that have been bothering you?" she asked as she looked up at the groaning titans.

"Kind of, but what about the others?"

"Oh mom is on her way and dad…well he should be here by now."

All of a sudden they heard a loud yell coming from the entrance of the city.

"Oh there he is."

Inside the vehicle was indeed his father but also was a very terrified Kyte.

"Are you insane?! The bridge is out!" he cried as they were nearing the broken stone bridge.

"Nonsense son, our family was made for this!" he laughed as the car began to pick up speed.

He couldn't watch as he felt the car lift off from the ground with his father laughing like a maniac. Thankfully they had been doing fast enough to just clear the jump, but then came another problem, the brakes had been blown out.

"Could we please slow down?" he cried out as his hand tightened around the edges of the seat.

"Of course, let me show you how it's done." His father replied with a weird smirk on his face.

With as much force as the steering wheel would let him he turned it as hard as he could until the car began to flip over and over. It seemed as if it would never stop but finally it did and right next to the group no less on its wheels. As soon as his head popped out of the broken window they all gave him a weird look.

"It's good!"

His forehead had begun to bleed as well as Kytes as they stepped out of the beat up car. There were no words to describe what just happened but whatever happened it certainly was weird. He didn't even seem depressed that his car had been beaten up so bad that it looked almost unsalvageable.

"What's up everyone? My son called me here because you all had a big problem?"

But as soon as he looked up he saw what the problem was.

"Huh, you don't see that every day." Kyte said.

Their foes seemed a bit confused, but at the same time glad that someone else had come to fight them.

"So you're the little pipsqueak's father?"

"You got it. Kyra Keno at your service." He replied with a bow.

They expected the great Kyra to be a little more….elegant that how he was? Ryo and Kyte certainly did take after him with their hair color and eyes as well as sex, but he seemed so much more cocky and weird than both of them.

"Hahah, this is the freaking best! Wait until Diachi sees what I brought him!" Grunt said as he raised his foot.

As it came down Kyra just stood there until it was only inches away from his face before he vanished into thin air.

"Dude wrong move." Said Kyte.

There didn't seem to be a crunch, but when he felt a small figure land on his shoulder a tremble ran down his spine as he looked to his right.

"Is it me or are you compensating for something?" asked Kyra as he sat there as he relaxed.

"Gah come here!" He roared as he attempted to grab him with his left hand.

Now it was time to get serious-ish. As soon as he jumped from the titans shoulder the skin around his hand crumbled as his hand grew larger and larger until it was big enough to grab his face. As soon as he had a good hold sparks shot out from his feet to give him more force as he forced Grunts head into the nearby clock tower. With as much force as he could muster he grinded the once ugly face into something even more hideous.

"Why you?! You can't do that to our brother!" Ansestra yelled as both she and her younger brother tried to grab him.

He seemed so graceful as he slipped through their hands and landed back on the ground in front of everyone.

"So what do you say? Want to help out?" he asked the others.

While he would have loved to Ryo had more important things to do. He must get into the fortress, save Destra and defeat Diachi.
