Chapter 38:
Hierga leaped over his forces, diving at Jet and Storm. The rest of the pawn attacked Gemini, Lunar, Vibra, and Wave before they could offer assistance.
Wave swung her wrench into one, then kicked another away as she threw the one on her wrench into the one flying in the air. Both disintegrated in specs of ebony as their comrades moved into action in offense.
"Come get some!" She yelled as sticks of dynamite rained into the crowd of pawns.
Vibra kicked and punched most away, but they were slowly closing in on her. She summoned her signature Sonidagarras, and swung her claws of sound energy at the pawns, carrying them away, and tearing into them. This gave Vibra some space, and she then slammed the ground with her palms, sending shock waves out to destroy every pawn in her path.
Gemini went into a Dark Fang as he swerved through the pawns, attacking each one of them with Dark Shots. One pawn managed to stop him by putting his claw in between his legs, causing him to trip.
As he tumbled, one pawn reached his short sword out for his chest. But it was blocked by another sword. Gemini looked up to find Lunar parrying the blow, then thrusting his Chaos Moon Blade into the ground, sending out a wave of energy that cut through the rest.
"Thanks buddy," Gemini shared his gratitude. Lunar nodded, then fought off the last few with Gemini at his side.
Jet swung his fans out as a gust of wind headed for the feline. But the monster reeled his fist forward, the sharp horns protruding from the knuckles emanating dark energy. The horns cut right through the wind, which exploded behind him and took out a group of elite pawns.
Storm leaped above and delivered a fist to the dark creature's head, forcing it into the crater the impact made. The albatross leaped off as him and Jet readied for the next round of attack.
Hierga smirked as he moved into a meditating stance, roaring as something unusual happened. The horns all over his body came off, levitating in the air as more grew into their spot. These ones then came off as well. Before you knew it, the air was filled with horns.
Jet put his fans in front of him, and Storm reeled his fist back. The horns moved in front of both of them, then suddenly launched forward. Storm pushed his fist forward, colliding with the hail of sharp weapons. His hand became quite bloody as he deflected the horns, but that didn't stop him from doing so. Jet unfolded his fans as a burst of wind knocked the ones in front of him away. Some got through, putting holes in his fans and causing him minor cuts. But the hawk held on.
When it cleared, Hierga was left exhausted and unable to attack. Storm took the advantage and threw Jet with all his might at the monster. The hawk's fans gained power as the speed at which he was moving picked up wind. He planted his fans against the chest of Hierga, causing the both to skid back from the rogue's impact.
Jet smirked as he unfolded both fans, unleashing a column of wind that completely tore apart Hierga with thousands of slashes. The monster fell to the ground as he blew up in an explosion of black, specs of darkness rising out of it.
Lunar cut through the last elite pawn, watching it fade away as he looked towards his fellow comrades.
"Everyone ready to move on?" the wolf asked, causing grunts and nods to be murmured, "Then let's go!"
The heroes ran up the spiraling staircase which led up the sky scraping middle tower. Lunar took the lead, knocking away pawns with his Lunar Slash Waves, while Jet and Vibra attacked flying enemies. Wave finished off any that were left, and Gemini and Storm took up the rear, attacking pawns who sneaked up behind them.
Finally they reached the top. When they got there, they found two elite pawns and one royal pawn.
The heroes got ready to battle, and the elite pawns jumped forward, the royal pawn behind it. Lunar stepped forward and stabbed through the first. The second jumped over, but was kicked by Vibra. The royal pawn managed to knock away Lunar, Vibra, and Jet with his trident, but was promptly smashed off the tower by Storm's uncanny strength.
"Well here we are!" Lunar cheered, rushing forward and appearing on the other side of Crescent, his chains suddenly snapping, "It's time to go buddy!"
"It's..." Gemini's ears suddenly perked up with that simple word that was uttered from the red hedgehog's lips, pain hanging on every word, "...a trap..."
"How? We destroy every pawn and Hierga, so what else-" Wave began, but suddenly stopped by the piercing roar that almost sounded like a warped shriek and the wind picking up from the force of it.
Every hero turned around, even Storm who was holding Crescent. Before them was the biggest threat they've had to face yet. The black dragon that hovered in the there stole the breaths that were about to be exhaled by all seven of them.
Kuroiragon roared once more, then began to beat its wings much faster than before. Huge gusts of wind came out of them, causing every hero to have to stand their ground a block against the mighty oncoming force.
Jet tumbled along the tower side before almost flying into the air. But fortunately the hawk was caught by Wave before anything else could happen.
None of them could see through the wind to retaliate against the swinging tail with orb of misty purple at the end.
Lunar was thrown into the air by it, and blood rained back down from the orb flying in the air. The wolf fell to the side, and rolled to the side quickly to avoid another swing of the massive tail.
When the wind let up a little, Gemini rushed forward, letting his other body out as both of them went into Dark Fangs and spun around each other, creating a giant missile of destruction. The two then collided into the side of the beast, causing the dragon to cry out. But this moment was short lived, as the two were blown away, then seared by hot scarlet flames.
Both of them jumped out of it, and landed next to the other heroes. Parts of both dark wielder's fur was scorched, but otherwise they were still raring to go.
"How are we supposed to beat it?" Vibra questioned.
"Leave it to us!" Wave shouted as the three thieves shot forward on their extreme gear. The monster let loose another burst of flames and gusts of wind, but the three swerved around it, aiming higher.
Wave tossed some bombs at the dragon's head, which did minimal damage, but the purpose was to stun it momentarily. Storm swung Jet around, who tucked forwards with his fans outstretched forward. The albatross then rocketed the hawk at Kuroiragon, who was helpless to avoid the faster version of the hawk's attack.
A green blur encased in wind cut through the dragon's chest near it's wing as he shouted, "Jet Arrow!"
The monster roared as blood spurted out of the hole the hawk left. However, the monster roared as part of the cut healed, stopping the oozing of the black and blue substance that substituted for blood.
"How is it this strong?" Jet wondered, "None were ever this good!"
"Because its the best!" Crescent yelled as an answer.
"Shit," Lunar muttered as a beam of black formed at the monster's jaw. It was then unleashed. While it was a thin beam, when it hit the top of the tower an entire dome obliterated the entire base, overtaking all but the dragon creature itself, which let out a roar of victory.
