Rain of Fire! The Buster Call Begins!
Disclaimer: Don't own One Piece.
The explosion on the end of the Bridge, the end that was closest to the Tower of Justice, was the result of Spandam setting up a booby-trap should anyone actually get past CP9. Sure enough, the bomb went off and everyone watched as a blue-haired, muscle-bound person fell into the water below.
Spandam laughed, "Cutty Flam? Glad I expected that, that landmine got him good!"
Davros shook his head, "The one good thing you've done, Spanda," he hauled Kirsty up by her hair and grabbed her arm, "Let's try this again,"
Kirsty, worn out from the multiple attempts to shock Davros, tried to fight but it was more difficult now than before. As she struggled, she could hear Spandam go on and on about how he was going to be a hero to the world as they drew closer to the small gate ahead.
Guys...hurry! Please, you're running out of time! she pleaded, tears welling in her eyes, HURRY!!
"Watch carefully! This first step will be the first step of the hero who will go down in history!" Spandam laughed as he dragged his own prisoner closer to the gate, "The first-,"
He never finished that sentence. He was cut off as the back of him exploded and he was sent flying through the gate and down the flight of stone steps below.
Davros stared, "What the hell-?" he too was cut off, but for another reason. Something flew past Kirsty and Davros released the White Dragon before falling over, holding his now bloody thigh which was sporting a fresh bullet wound, "My leg! Where'd that come from!?"
"Nice shot!"
"Thanks. Target was a bit off...gotta get this thing tuned up, but I'm just glad I could get him from here,"
"Looks like they're searching for us,"
"Yeah...take 'em out,"
"Yosh!"
Robin and Kirsty watched as one by one, the Marines that began to flood the Bridge of Hesitation were put down by similar attacks and wounds that knocked Davros and Spandam off their asses.
"Where the hell is it coming from!?" a Marine demanded, "There's no one here!"
Davros growled as he hopped onto one leg, putting his weight on that one as he grabbed Kirsty again, this time bringing her close to him to use as a human shield to protect him from the mysterious attacks.
"I don't know where that's coming from, but it doesn't take a genius to know who is attacking us," he hissed in her ear, "They got my leg, but if they want to finish me off, they'll have to risk hitting you and with those cuffs on you, they'll end up killing you trying to get to me!"
"Where's that coming from!?" a now angry Spandam demanded as he ran back up the stairs, ignoring two more Marines who were taken out.
"Sir!" a Marine nearby lowered his pair of binoculars and pointed back the way the co-Directors had come from, towards a certain building in the distance.
"What?! Where?!" Spandam followed the Marine's finger and let out a shriek, "THE TOWER OF JUSTICE?!"
"The roof of the Tower of Justice!"
"What the hell can they do from there?!"
Davros frowned and squinted to see two figures standing on top of the Tower of Justice, "So that's where they are. Well, no matter, we're still sa-,"
Again, he was cut off suddenly and again he released Kirsty and fell to the ground, but this time instead of holding his leg, he had a hand over his eyes, screaming.
Kirsty looked back at him, surprised, "What-?"
"MY EYES!" he screamed, "THEY SHOT MY FUCKING EYES!"
Nice shot... Kirsty turned back and bolted for Robin, "Move, Robin, move!"
Robin nodded, rose to her feet and the two criminals ran for safety on the other end of the bridge.
"They're escaping! Nico Robin and the White Dragon are escaping!"
"Don't let them get away!" Spandam screamed, recovering from another attack, "Shoot them to death without killing them!"
The Marines around him stared like he was crazy, but raised their rifles anyway.
They had easy targets, since there was no where left to run, but they had an even easier target when Kirsty tripped and fell over as Robin kept running, not noticing what had happened.
"Ready...,"
"ROBIN!"
Nico Robin stopped and looked back to see Kirsty on the ground while the Marines aimed for them.
"Aim...!"
"Get up!"
"RUN FOR IT!"
"FIRE!!"
Kirsty pressed herself against the stone and Robin doubled over, hoping to dodge the oncoming hail of bullets. Kirsty prayed with all her heart that she and Robin would live through this. But, something strange happened as she waited for the bullets to hit her. She expected to feel pain, she expected to hear Robin scream, but all that happened was a wind that blew by her followed by the sound of bullets hitting something metallic. A few moments later, she realized that she was no longer feeling the stone that made the Bridge of Hesitation.
What...what's going on? Am I dead? What happened? Kirsty slowly opened an eye to see what was going on, but when she did, she got a big surprise. Franky had appeared out of nowhere and had apparently taken on the barrage of rifle bullets which now lay harmlessly at his feet. But what had surprised her more than anything else was the fact that she was not even on the Bridge anymore! In fact, she found herself in the air above the Bridge!
"WHAT THE HELL?!"
"Glad to see you're okay,"
She froze, That voice...! she turned her head around and her eyes widened when she saw Devon standing there. He was holding her under his arm, and had apparently saved her from the bullets. Before she could ask on how he did it, she caught sight of large wings that were currently folding behind his back.
"What the hell, Devon?!"
Devon looked down at her, "Didn't I tell you that I could fly?"
"NO YOU DIDN'T!"
"Oh," Devon went quiet for a moment, "Hey, Kirsty, I can fly,"
"I can see that, but...but...," Kirsty shook her head, at a loss for words.
"Don't worry about it for now," Devon looked down at Franky, "Luckily he's here. On my way over, I didn't see anyone else. Strange though, I thought DJ would've made it here at least, given his speed...," he shrugged, "Then again, trusting Macleod of all people to do something is kinda asking for a lot,"
"But-!"
"Hold that thought. Oi! Franky!"
The cyborg looked up to them, "What?"
Devon gripped the back of Kirsty's clothes and lifted her above his head as far as he could lift her.
"D-Devon...w-what are you doing?"
Franky raised an eyebrow, "What are...," he trailed off, blinking, "Oh, are you kidding me?!"
"Look, Devon, whatever you are planning on doing, just think-,"
"CATCH, FRANKY!" Devon pulled his arm back and with surprising strength, he threw his girlfriend across the bridge towards the other end where Franky and Robin were.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kirsty screamed as she flew like a rocket through the air, "DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNN!"
She collided with Franky, knocking him on his back.
"...sorry...,"
"I'm gonna kill that man of yours...,"
"Not if I kill him first...,"
Niri lowered her smoking rifle, "That'll teach you assholes to mess with a friend of mine," she hissed, pulling the bolt back, causing an empty shell to fly out so she could reload, "We ain't done yet, Sogeking,"
The masked hero nodded and held up a Den Den Mushi, "Franky-kun, Franky-kun, can you hear me?"
"Eh? It's coming from this Den-Den Mushi,"
Niri facefaulted, He's thick...
"I got this from Nami," Sogeking explained, "Listen, Franky, there should be a big red cloth near you, do you see it?"
"Uh...yeah, yeah, I see it!"
"With the two keys you have on you, and the keys we collected thanks to the others, you should have all the keys,"
A loud scream came over the Den Den Mushi.
"All the keys?! Does that mean you guys beat every one of the CP9 in the Tower of Justice?!" Spandam demanded on the other end of the line, "That's not possible! You guys...you beat CP9?! I bet you just took them and ran away!"
Niri aimed her rifle, "Think Spandam will miss one of his testicles, because I won't,"
Sogeking snickered under his mask.
The two of them watched as their friends were freed from their Seastone handcuffs.
"Hey, we gotta problem, there's no key for the collar on this chick!"
"I got it," Niri aimed carefully and fired off a shot, "There we go,"
"NIRI!! YOU BE CAREFUL YOU ALMOST TOOK OFF MY HEAD WITH THAT ONE!" Kirsty screamed through the Den Den Mushi.
"Sorry, can't hear you, bad reception," Niri lowered her rifle and stood there for a few moments, taking in the sight of the fully opened Gates of Justice, Still can't believe that it's come to this, of all things to save nakama. It's gonna be one helluva trip from this day forward...
An explosion from the side made her turn her head to see part of the gate that surrounded the entire area. She took a sharp breath and watched as dark forms were seen through the thick fog that poured in from the Gates of Justice. She knew what those were, and she knew what was coming.
"So, this is the feared Buster Call...," she fell to her knees, awestruck, "...my God...,"
Axe hit the floor again after Mara landed a hard kick to his stomach. He rolled over and coughed out blood, holding his side.
She keeps me away from my axe...why? Does she know what it can do and doesn't want me to use it against her, or what? I don't understand this psycho...
You don't have to understand her, you just have to beat her.
Yeah, easier said than done, but... Axe stopped for a moment, That voice again!
Yes, me again! You're stronger than this, so why don't you go and use that new power of yours to beat the crap out of this enemy?!
Because I don't listen to voices in my head... Axe jumped to his feet, glaring at Mara, who looked as banged up as he did, if not a little less. She was quicker than he expected, probably due to the Rokushiki training or the Devil Fruit she ate, he couldn't be sure, but because of that, he had a harder time landing blows on her than she did landing blows on him.
I gotta end this soon! Judging from the sounds and the shakes, the Buster Call has just started outside!
Then use it!
"Azu! Azu! Keep up!"
Azu growled as he chased after Kokoro and the others with Dusty on his back, "I'm coming as fast as I can, Chimney, don't rush me! It's hard to run with this chick on my back!"
"Slowpoke, slowpoke, slowpoke!"
"Kokoro-san, I'm gonna...kill...your...," Azu slowed to a stop when the underground tunnel they were running through began to shake violently, "...okay, what the hell is that?"
The answer came in the form of a huge wall of seawater that came rushing towards them.
"LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!" Azu turned on his heels and began to run like a bat out of Hell, "WOMEN AND PERVERTS FIRST!!"
"I can't believe the World Government had such a hard time taking your people out. If they all were anything like you, it shouldn't have been that hard to wipe them out like they did! I guess the Samuel clan was the weakest of the three pirate crews all those years ago! That doesn't surprise me since they couldn't win against Roger or Whitebeard, and it doesn't surprise me that you're nowhere close to winning this fight!"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKIN' BITCH!!"
In the blink of an eye, Mara saw something dart out from the debris she had thrown the pirate captain into and found herself flying high into the air, through the roof of the floor that they were occupying. Lucci and Luffy, who had come up a short time before to avoid flooding seawater in the floor below. stopped momentarily to see a blur shoot up to a newly made hole in the ceiling, wrenching the axe that was stuck in the floor out as it went by.
Up top, a stunned Mara lay on her hybrid back, her eyes wide.
Where the hell did that come from?! she sat up and saw Axe standing in front of her, looking very different now. Aside from the large axe over his shoulder, the pirate captain's flesh had gone from it's normal tone, to something that looked like it had been dipped in glass or something. Axe's hair and gone from black to a silvery color, his eyes had changed to a brilliant blue color, and the new flesh shined beautifully.
Mara rose to her feet, wincing after the attack that Axe had just given her. She glared at him as he calmly hefted his large weapon over his shoulder.
"What are you?"
"I'm the man who's gonna kick your ass, Furry Girl,"
That was just a cheap shot, there's no way he can do that again! Mara ran for him, her arms pulled back, "Shigan-,"
"Diamond Shoot,"
Mara doubled over, eyes bugging out of her head after Axe rammed his leg and foot into her abdomen.
"Diamond Crush," Axe pulled his foot out and brought it down hard on the back of Mara's head, sending the female CP9 through the roof and down below into the room below. He looked into the hole to see her land in the middle of Lucci's and Luffy's fight. However, that didn't seem to affect the other two opponents. In fact the other two seemed to ignore her completely.
Axe cracked his neck, "Now we can start the real fight...,"
Kilnorc: Okay, as you can see, I've skipped around different areas and whatnot. The reason I've done this is to show what everyone else is doing and because I know the Bridge and Axe's fight is what most people are wanting, I thought I'd go with that more importantly. Speaking of, there are two CP9 fights that I know of regarding Lucci and though Axe is fighting Mara, I don't know if I can make it as good as both the original and the battle scene in Legacy of the Assassin, written by Rayo Verrani, they're just so good! So, if they seem kind of...less than that level, I'm sorry.
On the next chapter of The Secret Power...
Devon: Franky, we gotta hold the Bridge for now!
Kirsty: You want me, well come and get me, you bastards!
Azu: THE HOT MENTAL IMAGE OF MERMAIDS HAS BEEN DESTROYED!
Mara: You...you shouldn't be...this strong...!
Proud Legacy! Rage of Samuel D. Axe!
Axe: DON'T YOU EVER MOCK MY FAMILY EVER AGAIN, YOU GOVERNMENT BITCH!!
