...
Chimera simply stood there, staring apathetically at the hanging body of a young woman who was dolled up to look like a porcelain doll, her eyes wide open and dead like that of a fish. The cannibal blinked, furthering his bored look. He wasn't exactly sure what he thought of this particular ghoul he was dealing with. He knew that fighting him would be no problem but finding him was the biggest issue, this ghoul had been eluding the CCG for some time now. Chimera sighed and walked over to the body of the young woman and cut her down with a rinkaku tentacle since she had just been put up earlier that night the ghoul's scent should be on her but Chimera couldn't smell anything but strong chemicals, no doubt what was used to preserve the body. He dropped the body Chimera dashed to the wall of a nearby building and scaled up the side of the building with ease.
According to his superiors, Chimera had to stop the twisted ghoul before he began to affect the economy but according to Chimera the Dollmaker was freak with mental issues who would be better dead. Either way, the Dollmaker needed to be put down. Chimera watched the streets below, hoping the creepy Dollmaker would return to view his work. If so, all Chimera had to do was sit and wait for the creep.
Unfortunately, that wasn't the case and after an hour and a half waiting, Chimera decided it'd be best if he actually tried to go find his target.
As he walked down the streets he didn't receive many odd looks as just about everyone who was out and about was either drunk or too exhausted to notice or care about the masked and armored man they passed by. Chimera came to a road where no one was, everyone seemed to be avoiding the street even though it appeared to be a faster way then walking all the way around the block. Wanting to know why no one went down this street, Chimera walked down the abandoned road. There was certainly an eery vibe about it because of the graveyard, enclosed by a thick white fog. Chimera could smell it, the scent of a living ghoul from within the fog engulfed graveyard. He thought he saw movement within the fog and not the movement of a person or anything but the familiar movement of a kagune. Chimera had been hunting ghouls for six years, he knew how kagune moved and whatever was inside the graveyard was definitely a ghoul.
Chimera decided that a graveyard seemed to an appropriate place for a wacko, who turns his kills into life-sized dolls, would live and walked over to the entrance of the cemetery. The ghoul could most likely smell him now but Chimera didn't mind, he could smell the ghoul too. Whoever was in here wasn't the Dollmaker, this smell was more feminine. The sound of gnawing and crunching reached his ear from his left. He tried to make his way to the sound but the second his bare foot lightly touched the dirt, the crunching stopped. Chimera peered through the fog to find whoever was there but all he could see through the thick fog was clouded movements.
Before Chimera even knew what was going on, his arm was torn off by some white ribbon looking thing that Chimera assumed was a kagune. The end of it was a mouth of large, jagged teeth which were now coated in Chimera's blood. The young man simply gazed that the kagune with what seemed like boredom and his wound squeezed tightly closed for a moment before and entirely new arm burst from the bloody stump, this arm was covered much like a deer's antlers are during the rut except his arm had a thin bloody layer of skin that hung and clung to the arm oddly. Veins and muscles bulged and pulsed as Chimera lifted his arm to look at his hand, squeezing his hands together in a claw-like motion over and over again. He then looked but from his hand back to the ghoul, hidden in the fog.
"Now that you've gotten a taste of me," Chimera said, removing his mask and letting it drop to the dirt. He then vanished with impossible speed, only to appear behind the ghoul shouting in it's ear, "lemme have a taste of you!" before the ghoul could react, Chimera bit into the ghoul's trapezius and tore a large chunk of flesh away as he sped by, landing lightly on the ground several meters away. The ghoul turned to face him, as the wound heal easily, and Chimera got a better look at who he was facing.
She was rather slim but of average height with long, straight white hair that seemed to float around her and she was dressed in a long, pale lavender gown and a white, translucent veil. It was almost like she was glowing in the darkness as the fog around was scattered and dissipated.
"Well, you're not exactly who I was looking for," Chimera began, wiping the ghoul's blood from the edge of his mouth. "But you were able to surprise me and take my arm, only a very powerful ghoul would be capable of doing that. So that means you need to be put down before you become to danger to society." his rinkaku kagune expanded out of his back and he dropped into a fighting stance. The ghoul simply looked at him through the veil that covered her face, not saying anything.
And like the flip of a switch her statue like demeanor changed and she rushed Chimera, with her kagune trailing behind her. Chimera outstretched his arms as if he was inviting her in for a hug but his kagune all aimed for the ghoul as she came closer. Using his kagune like spears, Chimera sent four tentacles at her from over each shoulder and under his arms for a four sided attack but they were all blocked by the female ghoul's own odd, white, toothy kagune, Chimera wrapped his spiny tentacles around her white ones so she couldn't escape and then he release his large winged ukaku. She tried to pull away but Chimera's hold on her kagune was too strong and she couldn't escape as Chimera fired crystallized shards that filled her the entire front side of her body, he then lifted the female ghoul with his kagune and threw her across the graveyard. With his enhanced speed, he raced over to where she was falling, hoping to impale her with his rinkaku but she twisted in the air so she was looking down at him and then primed her kagune, sending them down at Chimera. The teenage ghoul was forced to duck and weave as the white, ribbon-like kagune smashed into the ground at high velocity. Chimera attacked with his ukaku again, trying to shoot her out of the sky but she used the kagune that was embedded in the ground to swing her out of his line of fire and back to the ground.
The second before her feet touched the ground Chimera had arrived and dealt her a quick jab to her jaw, the power of the punch sent the ghoul flying through the air with a broken jaw. Chimera vanished with speed and suddenly appeared behind the ghoul, ready to pierce her through her back but she must've expected this because her kagune was sent at him and tore two of his rinkaku off. She then sent her other two tentacles into the ground and spun around to face Chimera as her feet finally touched the ground.
Chimera didn't waste any time instantly attacked her with his ukaku releasing a seemingly endless amount of kagune shards at her. She danced around the necropolis, easily dodging Chimera's long ranged attacks, using headstones to shield her for short amounts of time as the power of Chimera's kagune degraded them to scattered pebbles and chunks of stone. Finally stopping his long-range barrage, Chimera raced forward with unseen speed but she seemed to match his speed and they clashed in the middle. Kagune crashing against kagune as they battled. Chimera got in close where she was at a disadvantage and he sent a high kick to her jaw, shattering it again and sent her straight up in the air. She sent her kagune into the ground to help her return to the ground but by tensing the muscles in his legs, Chimera shot into the air and they began to fight in a series of punches and kicks. Bloodied and battered the female ghoul summoned two new tentacles and used them to tear through the tentacles that Chimera was using to stay in the air but she never could as Chimera brought out two more of his own kagune and stabbed them into her shoulders, he then whipped the two tentacles to upward, ripping both her arms from her body.
Quickly, she retracted her kagune from the ground she dropped down just before her severed limbs could hit the ground and they reconnected to her body via strings of blood. She used her new arms to cartwheel away as Chimera released a volley of shards at her, trailing her until she vanished into the fog. He lowered himself to the ground and readied himself for her to attack.
He didn't have to wait long as one of her ribbon-like kagune burst through the fog, he was forced to sacrifice another rinkaku to the superior shaped kagune. He knew she'd eat his kagune to heal herself and make herself stronger so while she was doing that he concentrated on his rinkaku, the two torn kagune pulsed and twitched before new tentacles burst from the stumps, good as new. But Chimera didn't stop there he concentrated harder, knowing he didn't have that much time left. His rinkaku began to morph and change shape, the blade tips on his kagune morphed into a toothy mouth, like the female ghoul's but the teeth of Chimera's were evenly spaced and shaped like that of a piranha.
When female ghoul appeared from the cover of the fog she was shocked to see the new rinkaku that Chimera now had and she hadn't gotten over her shock before Chimera used his two kagune to tear through two of hers. She growled in anger and charged forward, ready to rip Chimera apart. Chimera stood, waiting for her, with apathy etched into his face. His lack of concern only served to further irritate the female ghoul and she attacked him with a certain savagery that made Chimera question whether or not he would survive this fight. The mouths on their kagune tore each other's bodies apart and tentacles apart until they were both soaked in blood with one remaining kagune each. Chimera backed away as his wounds healed instantly, the female ghoul stumbled back because Chimera had taken a large chunk out of her leg but her wounds healed almost as fast as Chimera's.
"Who are you?" the ghoul finally spoke up, surprising Chimera with how angelic her voice sounded but Chimera didn't respond instead retracting his ukaku in favor of just keeping his rinkaku out. His normal apathetic expression plastered on his face as he stared at the female ghoul through her veil. "No, you won't introduce yourself? That's very rude!" six more of her ribbon-like, white kagune burst from her back, covered in thick bone like armor, the original four also became armored like the new kagune tentacles. Armor burst from her skin and began to build and become larger in size. All semblance of the humanoid ghoul was erased as eight of the now ten armored kagune formed large arachnid legs and the remaining coiled around each other, forming one large tail, the toothy mouths at the ends of the combined kagune created one large, bulbous stinger with various spines and spikes jutting out at random angles. Behemoth sized pincers erupted from the front of the large colossal. The kakuja was mostly milky white in color with hints of crimson to add a bloodied effect to the overall appearance.
Simply the massive size and frightening mien of this kakuja would be enough to terrify most other ghouls and almost all investigators but Chimera wasn't fazed by the giant, white scorpion kakuja formed in front of him. He simply stared at it the same way he had been staring at the woman whose body was inside. The kakuja rushed him with surprising nimbleness, despite its enormous bulk, which Chimera wasn't prepared for and he was knocked to the side by the monstrous kakuja. Before the cannibal even could fall to the ground he was skewered by the jagged stinger-like tail, the jagged barbs and spines tore through his body; shredding organs, flesh, and shattering bones. He vomited up blood and grit his teeth hard enough to crack them. Grabbing the large kakuja tail, Chimera gazed the solid black orbs that were the kakuja's eyes and pushed himself up, the tail ripping apart more of his body as he allowed himself to be torn in half. The two halves of his body fell to the ground on either side of the gigantic kakuja scorpion. As he descended he gazed up at the only ghoul who was able to actually hold their own against him and finally his unconcerned nature was broken with a triumphant smirk that spread over his face, taking the place of the normal apathetic expression. He landed in the dirt with a thud, staring up at the titanic scorpion kakuja, the smirk never fading from his face.
Hey y'all. Sorry this one was kinda short. And NO~! He's not dead! He's the main character, he's not gonna die that easily, sheesh! Anyway the reason why this is kinda late instead of coming two days ago is because I published a new fanfic! It's called The Knight Before, I encourage y'all to go check it out! It's already getting some pretty decent feedback with ten people following it! So hopefully it will become as popular as this one!
Shoutouts!
Sagrn, her death wasn't suppose to be sad, it was just suppose to be there because I didn't ever build up her character like I did Kenjiro. And yes, Chimera secretly hates V (Arima does too, shushhhhh)
There ya go, WickedDemon69. That's the next chapter.
How about action for this one hoobab?
If you thought last chapter was a good fight, then how's this one Slimjim77?
