Black fists to the rescue
Defeat the commanders
Naran dodges back from another of Epsilon's attacks and swings his spear at him once more, but Epsilon leaps back and puts his hat back on. He draws his until now sheathed sword and charges forward again. Naran prepares for the worst again.
"You're not going to win. Let me show you my real speed!" He suddenly disappears and Naran panics for a small second, before spinning and making a jab at Epsilon who comes from behind, but just as he does Epsilon jumps right over the attack and manages to slice Naran right across the chest and he limps back a little before seeing Epsilon right in front of him and he manages to jump back just barely.
"Come on Naran! I was thinking this'd be a challenge! But you're no fun at all!" He keeps slicing with both his hats and sword and Naran can do nothing, but dodge and try to counter with his new wound. Epsilon appears to move closer and closer and Naran feels that he starts getting small scratches every time he's attacked. 'Who is this kid?' He thinks to himself and in a moment of confusion Epsilon breaks through Naran's defense and is just about to deliver the finishing blow.
"EPSILON!" Someone suddenly yells and the boy jumps back looking around for the source. He looks up on a roof and sees Yozaro standing and looking down with Ryuketsu drawn.
"Oh… it's just you Gamma. If you want in on this find your own great royal guard!" He yells and is about to attack Naran again. "YŪGURENOHA: HAGETAKA KARI!" Yozaro jumps into the air and spins in the air and Epsilon pushes Naran backwards jumping with him to save both of them from Yozaro's attack. Epsilon spins and sends Yozaro an angry look.
"What the hell man!?" Yozaro slashes along the ground and points Ryuketsu towards Epsilon.
"I don't really want to hurt you, but you're hurting him WAY more than necessary! Put down your sword and you won't get hurt Epsilon!" Epsilon smirks and tips his hat.
"I think I get what's going on here. You're not a commander anymore huh? You seemed so determined though! What happened?!" Epsilon yells and jumps at him and Yozaro blocks the strike with little trouble.
"A person I trust more than anyone else made me switch sides. I'm fine with you tricking me into joining you… BUT…!" He pushes Epsilon back and the boy grits his teeth as his attack had no effect on Yozaro, not even making him use much energy. Yozaro holds out his sword horizontally.
"What I CAN'T FORGIVE is that you tricked the people I care about! For that you'll pay dearly!" He jumps forward towards Epsilon who raises his sword in shock at the sudden betrayal. "YŪGURENOHA: KURO HYO HARADACHI" He slices directly through Epsilon who only just gets his sword in place and he's shakes at the sheer strength of the attack.
"Gamma. I didn't know you were so easily fooled. Fine then. I'll just kill you and tell Omega that a great royal guard got you!" He jumps forward and Naran looks strangely as the two start clashing.
"Who is that?" He says looking at Yozaro. Him and Epsilon both land with Yozaro's back to Naran.
"Go back up everyone else! I can handle this guy!" Epsilon breaks contact and jumps over Yozaro landing next to Naran and is about to stab him directly in the chest.
"Where do you think you're going!?" Epsilon yells and stabs at him, but just as he does he's forced to stop as he's pushed back by a really strong sword strike and Yozaro sends Epsilon an angry look.
"Go get help! Just trust me!" He yells at Naran and the great royal guard starts running away with an ashamed look on his face.
"I am a failure as a great royal guard," he says as he limps away. Yozaro holds out his sword. "YŪGURENOHA: TORA TSUME!" (Sword of dusk: tiger's claw) He switches to a reverse grip and slices upwards sending a pulse towards Epsilon and he jumps back and grits his teeth.
"N-no way! You weren't this strong in your fight with Alpha!" Yozaro prepares his stance again and jumps forward towards Epsilon.
"That's because I have a reason to fight now! YŪGURENOHA: TORA KIBA!" (Sword of dusk: tiger's fang) He spins his sword back to normal grip. He slices it downwards and Epsilon has no time to react and only just manages to pull himself back before the attack connects and Yozaro hits the ground making a shockwave.
"Who the HELL are you!?" He yells and Yozaro stands and glares at Epsilon.
"I am Yozaro! A member of the black fist pirates! The most amazing crew in the world! And those people accepted me even though I'm different and that's the kind of people I want to be around! But you! Are you proud to be serving Omega!? Do you even know if what he told you is true!?" Epsilon gets angry and jumps forward at Yozaro holding out his sword. Yozaro blocks the strike with one arm and Epsilon grits his teeth at the humiliating block.
"What do you know about me!?" He breaks contact and lands a bit away. He attacks again hitting harder this time and Yozaro blocks with both hands this time.
"You're not so tough Gamma! We don't even need Zeta!" He pushes Yozaro back and instantly attacks again. 'Zeta? I didn't know the army had a Zeta commander.'
Meanwhile elsewhere in the city Ratchet dodges a hair strike from Delta and is instantly attacked by another and he puts up his arm. "JOINT-1: BUZZER!" His buzzsaw comes out of his arm and cut the hair up and it falls lifelessly to the ground. Delta doesn't seem to mind however and she just shoots two more without a problem and Ratchet cuts up one of them, but is hit in the leg as he dodges the other and he starts bleeding a bit. He grabs his leg in pain. Delta walks up to him and her hair forms into spikes.
"Guess you were nothing special without that bike huh?" Ratchet smirks and holds his mechanical arm up towards Delta and his finger opens up and she quickly uses her hair and holds him down covering his arm completely.
"I don't know what you were trying to do there. But it won't work without this arm. "joint-2: spitfire," He says under his breath and the second joint in his arm opens up and fire is spewed out setting Delta's hair on fire instantly. She quickly retreats her hair and jumps away, but it's too late and the fire is spreading in her hair and she flails it around to put it out and Ratchet stands.
"Booster fuel am really flammable you knows. Maybe you shouldn't has touched my machine huh?" He says and runs forward. Delta looks at him as he comes running helpless to dodge as she's in too much pain to move.
"JOINT-MAX: SCREWDRIVER!" He hits her in the stomach and unlike her subordinates she isn't sent flying, but remains in place and she falls over as the rest of her hair burns up and she just lays there passed out.
"Too bad… you has a really nice body, but it look wrong without hair," He says walking over to the bike and standing it up brushing off the dust.
"That were very difficult, but I has done it. I saved my invention," He gets on it and rides off the roof where he had been fighting and into the streets driving through the battles going on between the army and guards making his way around defeating as many small fry as he can.
"I hopes Jake, Mike and Yozora am here by now. This am really intense," He says gulping.
Sigma and Beta are meanwhile walking around the city towards the castle. Suddenly someone comes running straight past them and they both stop seeing Blu, Jack, Mark, Genie, Pierre and Mireal run straight past them. Genie looks back from Mark's back where she's now riding after getting put down by Yozaro when they arrived.
"Hey! Those two are commanders. They could be trouble Mark," Mark breaks and so does Jack and Mireal.
"What's wrong little penguin?" Mireal asks and Jack just smirks.
"I think that means these guys are strong!" Mark puts Genie down.
"Mireal. Take Genie with you. Me and Jack will handle these guys," He says and stretches his arms above his head like he's warming up for the fight. Mireal nods and grabs Genie's hand, in a friendly manner.
"Come on, little girl. Let's go after Blu," She says skipping along the ground with Genie frantically following behind.
"Don't call me little! I'm 20!" She looks back at her captain and his navigator.
"Will you two be alright?!" She yells back and Jack and Mark both give her a thumbs up behind their back with a different hand in perfect sync and she just smiles.
"Of course. You guys hate losing more than you hate Ratchet when he's drunk," She says with a little giggle. Sigma jumps forward and turns into the giant spike ball going straight towards the two brothers.
"Those girls aren't getting away!" He yells and Beta runs forward behind him. Mark claps his hands. "HEAT BOOST!" He turns into the fast heated form and jumps over Sigma doing a frontflip and coming down with a hard kick on Beta. Jack meanwhile holds out his hands. "BLACK LAYER!" His arms become covered in the black armor like it always does and he's hit dead on by Sigma's rolling attack, and he tries standing his ground, but is pushed back a little before finally stopping the attack and hurling Sigma into the air. Sigma folds out of the ball and he looks like a giant hedgehog mixed with a human having but claws instead of fingers and a long nose and of course a spiked back with very large spikes for a hedgehog.
"A zoan huh?" Jack comments and enters his fighting stance.
"Are you underestimating me because I'm a zoan?" He says and stabs with his claws as he comes down. Jack blocks by grabbing both of Sigma's hands around the claws and swings him into the ground behind him.
"Of course not! Underestimating an opponent is not something the strong do!" He takes a quick glance over at Mark who engaged in an exchange of blows with Beta, using his swift strong kicks, as the rain evaporates as it hits his heated body. Beta seems to be keeping up rather well with Mark's kicks blocking every single one of them. Mark slowly starts panting as his body is very getting heated up despite all the rain. "MUSCLE BOOST!" He switches right after a swift spinning kick that Beta dodged and he goes for a swing using the momentum from the previous kick, but Beta takes a quick step back making Mark tumble forward a little and before he regains his balance Beta taps his hand against the ground and Mark starts sinking into the ground. His eyes widen. "HEAT BOOST!" He changes back to the swift form and jumps quickly getting out of the liquid ground and lands a little away.
"W-what was that?" Beta smiles.
"You do not understand my power yes. That is too bad for you yes?" Mark smirks right back and runs forward towards him and Beta punches the ground and as Mark steps on it he sinks a little, but right as he does he jumps high into the air.
"Who said I didn't understand it!? I know exactly what your power does! And so…" He comes down with a powerful kick however since he jumped so high Beta has already dodged and made the ground liquid again causing Mark to sink fully into it. Beta smirks and looks towards Jack and his fight with Sigma.
"I suppose it's two on one now yes?" He says with a smile and is just about to run towards them. "fat boost," he faintly hears behind him and the ground suddenly bursts open and the liquid ground flies into the air. "BEAK BOOST!" Mark comes jumping out of the ground in his form taking Beta completely by surprise.
"I already told you! I know what your power does and so I can counter it!" He smashes his beak into Beta and he flies back, but stops himself and turns the ground liquid again and Mark sinks again. "CRAVING OF THE OCEAN: WHIRLPOOL DRILL!" Mark starts spinning and uses his beak to drill through the liquid ground and comes up right where Beta's hands are and drills him directly in the chest. "MUSCLE BOOST!" He switches midspin and punches Beta directly in the face and lands right as the ground becomes solid again.
"I told you I could counter your power easily," He says as he returns to his human form.
Meanwhile Jack stops another of Sigma's rolling attacks. As he stops spinning Sigma exits his ball form and slices at Jack with his claws and just manages to scratch Jack's cheek before the latter pulls his head away. Sigma laughs a little and jumps back.
"You are no match for the army! Omega will be the ruler of this land without fail!" Jack flicks the blood off his cheek with a smirk.
"Now I want to fight him even more! But you're in the way!" He yells and leaps forward and Sigma slices at him again. "WHITE LAYER!" As he approaches the claws he suddenly makes a sharp turn ending up behind the hedgehog man. "ARMOR LAYER: ALBINO BARRACUDA!" He punches Sigma in the back and the man doesn't even try to avoid.
"You think you can touch my back?! My spikes will destroy your-" But before he can finish his sentence Jack breaks the spikes he punches hitting all the way through and Sigma flies forward.
"W-what is with this boy!?" He yells and rolls at him again. Jack deactivates his white layer and raises his fist. "ARMOR LAYER: BARRACUDA!" He smashes his fist against the giant rolling spike ball and every spike on his fists path breaks completely as they grind against his fist. He stops forward and turns human again laying on his back bleeding from his back and Jack shakes his hand as he's bleeding too.
"Ow ow ow ow ow… that hurt like hell!" He says and Mark comes up to him.
"Are you alright Jack?" Jack just jumps around blowing on his hand without listening. Mark sighs.
"Oh… right… I forgot," He looks towards the castle, which is missing a big chunk on one side.
"I have a feeling these two weren't as strong as their leader if he did that," He says as the two start running towards the battle.
At the borders of the city a boy walks in the gate wearing a suit of the revolution army with a belt and mark with the letter Zeta on it. He looks around 20 and has short white hair with swirls and a sword at each of his hips. He scratches his head looking around at all the people lying dead around the entrance from the fight.
"Dammit dammit dammit. I thought I could make it to be here at the start of the invasion. I hope Rho isn't mad at me for leaving back at Sabrina. Oh well… I guess I'll just… go to the castle! I sure hope Omega-senpai will be happy to see me. This rain is really annoying through," He says looking at the castle and begins walking down the street. A bunch of surviving guards suddenly come running straight at him.
"Another one! We will not let you pass!" They all jump at him and he sighs.
"Don't bother. You're already dead," He says and draws his swords and block all their sword strikes at the same time and their swords start rusting up and he slices straight through them and their entire bodies start turning to dust and he walks past them as they decay completely.
"Idiots…" He says as he walks past the place they would have laid if they weren't turned to dust. Just as he walks further someone comes riding towards him and stops. The boy looks at him and sees that it's Ratchet on his motorcycle.
"Who's you!?" Ratchet asks and the boy just flings his hair backwards.
"I'm Ness! Nice to make your acquaintance! And you are?" He asks and Ratchet gets off his bike.
"My name am Ratchet. Does you not know it am dangerous here? There am an invasion!" He yells and Ness just smiles.
"Of course I know. I'm here to end it!" He says and Ratchet recognizes the band on Ness' arm.
"Y-you's one of them commanders ain't you!?" Ness nods.
"My code name is Zeta. And I am the strongest commander in the army," Ratchet gulps and gets back on his bike.
"Well. I won't lets you through!" Ness smirks and Ratchet gulps as a result.
"I don't know who you are, but you don't stand a chance," He leaps forward and grabs onto his swords slicing at the bike. Ratchet hits the red button and the battering ram springs out like a shield and Ness hits that instead. Just like with the guards' swords before it starts rusting and he easily cuts through it. Ratchet sees it in advance and just manages to jump off the bike and he sees it rust up and fall apart right before his eyes. Ness pulls his swords back and swings them around in the air a bit. 'T-this guy… he am too strong. I's sorry Blast-off Internally Knocking Engine. I can't avenge you,'
"Aw… you dodged. You're definitely stronger than those guards, but still… with such a large body…" He points one of his swords at Ratchet who flinches a little.
"You're a pretty easy target to hit,"
