Happy Birthd... I mean good morning Sega fanatics and gamers! This is Big Red here with a brand new chapter of Sonic & Sega All Stars: Subspace Unleashed. If you got what I tried saying the first time, it's my 21st birthday today and I figured that finishing this chapter ahead of time would be a priority since I would be doing a lot for it. So because it's a special day and all, there won't be another recap for the next chapter. But with that out of the way, please take a look and enjoy the semi-final chapter of the Outrun Bay Arc!
The shocking scene that occurred on Outrun Bay was a bit too much for everyone to handle, but most of it was rather obvious to the heroes themselves. Sir Pepper raised his brows with shrunken irises from what he saw while Headdy gave off a mean look since he had feeling something like that would happen. Cipher covered his face with his wings from the scene leaving his master Billy to cry out for Amy's name. Alex Kidd himself was in no better position since he could have wished he was there to prevent it. Amy's body still flew from the impact of the hit with eyes closed from the sudden attack, leaving Clarissa and Alberto noting to do but watch in horror.
"Amy? Why did you have to leave yourself out there like that? You could have left that woman alone since she was the same person who severely damaged my body like him," Omochao said sorrowfully before covering his yellow eyes.
Ristar already started tearing from what he saw, leaving Gear to comfort him with some heartstrings tugged at his war ridden body.
"It's not your fault that we could've been there to stop it. It was her choice to make such a mobile sacrifice and help someone in need. If only Sonic were here to see this with his own eyes, he'd feel the same way," he said with a calm voice.
The crowd was horrified at what they saw since seeing on of the heroes die before their eyes show how far these villains are willing to go just to show that they mean business. Selvaria was at a loss of words as she watched the pink body finally land onto the ground with the victim's fact devoid of life. Amy Rose would now be one of the unfortunate victims to face Ramirez's wrath and it was because he had the idea that Amy was planning on getting rid of her body.
Is this the type of man that I'm truly in love with? One that would be willing to kill for my sake, even if it means the cost of an innocent life that helped me? Why would Ramirez do such a thing without being the reasonable commander that should think before they act?
Bayonetta's body is still frozen solid several feet away from the scene and both of the defeated cops were unconscious due to the severe injury they had received from the rampaging Silvite. Joe and Gamma were far too busy fighting the diligent Segata clones while keeping guard of the real deal to even care about what happened on the other side of the beach. The clones were starting to slow down and pose as less of a threat since the extreme heat from the sun and flames were enough to kill off most of their fighting spirit. One of them in particular were limping from the last few powerful shots from Gamma's blaster.
"Both targets appear to be having their final moments on then beach. We are close to achieving our mission and must fight on since the others may be waiting for us," Gamma said.
Joe could also notice it too since he could finally disarm the other flaming clone's arm with a well timed slash, proving that these powerhouses were starting to lose their will to fight.
"Thanks Gamma, I'll make sure to defeat this one as fast as possible. They could be in trouble with that silver haired man as we speak and he looks powerful enough to pose as a threat to them," the ninja replied.
But little did the two know of the unfortunate turns of events that happened to Amy and friends. Now she would be laying on the ground before the panting Ramirez in a slash of her own blood with her many friends devastated by the event. The man still had his eyes of revenge on the unfortunate girl as he held his blood stained blade to the side. Little did the man know his silver haired maiden is not very pleased with what he done and she tries her best to hold in the Azure Flames to showcase her true feelings. The man looked to the side to see that his love is thankfully alive and would be concerned for how scared she looked.
"Miss Bles, did she do something to you to make you feel this way. Whatever it was, I'm glad that I was able to stop that wench before she did her best to kill you," Ramirez said in a caring tone.
The feelings that were bottled up in this Valkyrian woman were not of kindness since being fooled by someone so inconsiderate is something she truly hates. She eventually glared back at the man with a less than inviting face and dealt what could be the strongest slap to pierce this man's hard head. The heroes managed to see this and couldn't believe what they saw than any villain wouldn't do in a millions years. The crowd would also see this shocking event happen, with some saying things like "Oooooooooohhhhhh!" or "What the hell happened?". Ramirez could felt the red sting on his face from the woman's slap and would be more confused than angry since she of all people hurt him. What pondered his very face was feelings of hurt and shock as his upper body recoiled from the powerful slap with Outrun couple still confused on what the hell was even happening anymore.
Selvaria, why did you do this to me? Isn't this something you would want me to do if you were actually dead? Or perhaps it was because I was unable to be by your side before your defeat?
Clarissa still had her jaw dropped from the sudden slap, trying to process what could have triggered her to attack her own subordinate. Alberto wished that he would say a word like her and thought that being silent was more appropriate since they were dangerously close to these two and Amy. Selvaria to watched the man cringing from his slap and waits for him to explain his actions before her face.
"Why did you kill that girl? She went out of her way to heal my injuries while you were too preoccupied with that hardboiled man to care about everything that happened. I guess something told me that I've made the wrong decision falling for someone like you," she said coldly.
The Outrun couple couldn't believe what they heard since she was willing to actually attack her own superior due to the acknowledgment of Amy's kind act. Ramirez looks back at her with a face of hurt and rubbed the red sore that was imprinted from the slap.
"You are actually trusting someone who's not on our side over me? So what if she healed you, they have the Chaos Emerald in their possession and we need to retrieve that for the Legion's sake. You call yourself a feared commander, yet you are warming up to lowly scum like them," he said in a more hostile tone.
Selvaria still looked back at him with her red eyes of sternness and would not be intimidated by his words at all.
"So the type of man you are is someone who still attacks a person that went out of their way to heal me despite their opposition to our plans? I figured, you care more about your pointless revenge instead of my well being like some tool. And I take back everything I've said about us being in love and I'm now leaving the Legion!" the Valkyrur yells while approaching him with her Azure Flames.
The crowd's reaction to the entire argument was rather appropriate and Alberto couldn't help but to laugh at their "rude interruption". Even someone like Gear could not process what what going on between them, given that this is the same guy who cares little about any form of romantic interaction.
"Guys, can any of you tell me what the heck is going on around here?" the flabbergasted puppet asked.
Billy Hatcher himself wishes that he can answer this question since he's more caught up in the fact that their own enemy is defending Amy's brash action. Now Ramirez would eventually go back to his old self based on his scowl and quivering arms of rage again once he hear her careless words from beginning to end. He really wise that he wouldn't want to resort to attacking any woman who he loved, but his loyalty to the Legion and being upset by Selvaria's verbal attack was enough for his fuse to be lit.
"You have no idea how much I feel about this entire thing and for you to crush my only feelings for you like that is an insult to by status as a commander. First Fina, and now you. Things don't seem to change in which someone who used to be close to me would wind up to be my own enemy. If that's how you really feel after everything he did and how connected we were, fine then. But don't start changing your mind once you struggle to defeat our trump card with your pathetic new friends, Selveria," he said in anger tone.
Selvaria didn't feel surprised nor scared since she knows that his back-up plan would happen sooner or later. The silver haired man would pull out a communication device and press the white button to send a loud buzzing signal to the main ship that remained above the waters. The alarming noise would let the crowd of people near the beach know that something big was coming. Headdy and the others grew cautious of the blaring sound that Ramirez's communicator made, covering their ears from the low frequency sounds that were made.
"Can someone tell me what this guy is doing?" the puppet complains.
Alex Kidd looked at the ship to notice it opening a hatch in the cargo area and had a bad feeling about what's going to happen.
"It appears to be something being dropped out of that ship! Hopefully it isn't one of their Subspace Diffusion Bombs," he yelled.
Omochao used his special eyes to see if there was any signs of mechanical weapons being dispensed from the ship only to jump once he saw what it really was.
"Guys, I don't think that is a bomb that's going to be released. But some form of massive organic creature that they had been hiding on the ship for a while," he said.
"Organic creature, you say? You mean they had been keeping some massive monster inside of their ship just to wreck havoc in the sea?" Sir Pepper said.
Gear heard the others loud and clear and felt that it was time for him to take action instead of waiting for the terrifying beast to be released.
"Instead of sitting here to listen to this guy's horrible sounds, I am going to head over to the waters where it would land and handle it myself. It's at least what Amy would want me to do instead of sitting round here with the Chaos Emerald," he said frantically.
The Blue Sonic would start running in the direction of the arguing commanders with no haste since he's aware of how dire the situation was. Ristar frowns and hands the Chaos Emerald to Omochao before stemming off away Gear.
"Hold the emerald while I'm gone. I'm coming with him since this beast is probably no threatening than Greedy's many goons in the past," he said before taking off.
Then Headdy sighs in disbelief before shifting his face into something resembling a yellow airplane since this would be the third time that he'd be forced into an aerial battle.
"Guys, you might as well stay put and watched the emerald. This guy is going to get a taste of my dogfighting kills since I would rather end this day fast enough," the plane faced puppet said.
Before Billy Hatcher could say a word, he flew away at a speed comparable to a recent model and kept his eyes on the warship ahead. Alex Kidd didn't want to be left out and decided to hop into his Peticopter since he's ready for another intense fight for Amy's sake.
"Billy! Sir Pepper! Stay here while I help the others take this east on. It would be Amy's last wish for us to stop the Legion while she is gone and I'm not going to let these guys get away with this today," he said with a serious face.
Before Billy could say a word, the red pedal powered helicopter would fly away toward the site of the falling cocoon. The beast that the ship would dispense would be none other than some extraterritorial cocoon that it was hibernating in since the entire time its captors would take over areas. It had a pretty strange design reminiscent of something that could be seen in an 80's sci-fi film with its black rigid appearance and the diameter could might as well be the size that could rival Perfect Chaos easily. The entire crowd panics once they see the massive figure falling, but the adults were more worried since they are aware of a certain sci-fi film to know what that cocoon could possibly contain. The police were a bit adamant to call for some chopper units to help out, but realized that the heroes were already preparing to handle the situation themselves. Headdy, Gear, Alex Kidd, and Ristar were already heading their way to the site of the gigantic cocoon that feel from the sky with their strength and determination to stop it. Meanwhile, Selvaria would watch as Ramirez stopped buzzing the signals and toss his communicator away to focus his attention on her. He was still in his usual bad mood since this man had no intention to play anymore games with this woman.
"Now you see what happens when you mess with the Legion, we make things harder for you and your new friends. With the Vortex Queen out, the chances of you stopping her is low since she's a being known to cause catastrophic damage to many oceans before. It would be funny for you to prove how strong you are by letting it fight you, but I think it's best for be to despise of you before Misheala could do it herself," he said before aiming his weapon at her.
Selvaria pulled out her two best weapons, her Valkyrian shield and lance respectively, all while giving her former lover an intense glare to his face. Now the woman was willing to fight the man she used to have feelings for just to show that she's tired of having to deal with his authority and twisted ways of justice.
"Are you just going to talk all day about your lust for the Legion or are you going to face off against a true warrior? You've made a grave mistake for trying to pick a fight with a Valkyrian warrior like me," she barked.
Without hesitation, the silver haired man charged dead at her with his blood soaked weapon and clashed blades with his opponent. Alberto and Clarissa were worried about what would become of Amy while her body sits there near these two combatants.
"You two, take that pink girl away from here to a safer place! That is a direct order from a new ally of yours!" the silver haired woman remarked while looking back at them.
Alberto and Clarissa quickly grabbed Amy by her arms and heaves her off of the bloodstained sand, making sure that she's in the good hands. Selvaria still held back her ex-lover's blade during the clash to ensure that the human couple doesn't get hurt in the middle of this. The blonde woman was worried about what would become of the cops that sacrificed themselves in the middle of this.
"Do you want us to do the same with those cops a few feet away? It will require plenty of work for use to take her to the ambulance and return for them," she said in concern.
"It's all right, just do everything you can while I handle this ruffian and defeat him. Since he had revealed his true nature, I'm afraid that I can't simply follow the same path as him anymore. Hurry fast since the others will probably need all the reinforcements they can against the incoming Vortex Queen," the Valkyrian woman replied.
The two would eventually make haste and run with the downed Amy to see if there's anyone that could give her any medical help. This left Selvaria to have one last duel with the man she thought was the one to share her life with as the over main was now hellbent of defeating her for treason. "You know what's the whole ironic part of this situation? You were mad at Azel for turning against the Legion and here you are following the same wrong path as her. The truth hurts doesn't it and I will not let you out of here alive," he said while looking into her eyes like a beast looking for his prey. Her opponent was now at the point where she doesn't care what happens to him anymore and defeating her was his main priority. Meanwhile, both Segata clones were at the point where the high temperature flames were too much for their body and they were no longer giving Joe and Gamma any trouble. With the little strength her had, Segata slowly got back to his feet and ran towards the two.
"Segata, are you planning on getting rid of them for us?" the ninja asked.
The Sega Saturn fantastic grabbed other clones with his arms while getting used to the flames burning his arms, then turned back to his allies to give him that "Affirmative!" look to show that he's doing his part for now. The first thing that would get his attention is the massive alien pod that was still falling to the ocean and it would be the next ideal target for his iconic explosive judo throw.
"The target now lies before me and it shall have its life depleted by a massive margin once I get rid of these guys the hard way. Sega Sataaaaaaaaaaaaan Shiroooooooooo!" he shouts while heaving the two dying clones to toss them at the massive pod.
Then Gamma and Joe would witness the crazy man tossing both of his clones at a speed comparable to a torpedo and watches the living projectiles fly at their desired target. Now the heroes were traveling above the water to head in the direction of the sleeping beast that resides in the falling capsule. Headdy and Alex Kidd were flying alone with their weapons ready for an intense fight. Gear ran across the sea water with his intense speed with Ristar flying beside him with the help of his Anti-Gravity Shoes, making sure to keep up with the others as they travelled. It wasn't until Ash would unexpectedly show up with his rotating saw blade, mostly because he's looking for something big to kill unlike the many Grunt Bots that he wasted his time with.
"Guys, I'm coming with you to take on whatever's in that alien pod. You can't leave me out of the killing since this Prince of Hell is looking for a big fish to fry," he said while casually playing with his pistols.
Gear and Ristar looked at the skeletal rabbit from the inferno with an extremely nervous look given his type of personally and his "vehicle" of choice.
"Well of course, we need all the help we can get since this beast might pose as a huge threat to everyone in this area. I hope you are as good as you say you are," the blue haired hero replied.
Ash rubs the top of his bony cranium and held his favorite pistol in his hand ready for the best shooting possible.
"Then you've got yourself a new ally. It was such a shame that my cop partners couldn't help out though since they were seemingly defeated by that silver haired guy on the beach. But the last thing I would gladly do for them is to kill the Legion's secret weapon so those punks can finally run away home to their fat bastard of a boss. And yes, I call anyone who deserves a painful death a bastard," he said aggressively.
Both Ristar and Gear grew silent since it would be best to not get on this dead rabbit's bad side during this last fight. It wasn't until a massive explosion could be heard in the direction of the incoming pod that was many feet away from its splashdown. Headdy and Alex Kidd made to to keep an eye on it since they were aware it was the result of Segata's judo throwing plans, which is what they need to have a head start on defeating this beast. The next pair of explosions that occurred ruptured the entire extraterrestrial cocoon with seconds and engulfs the entire thing in a massive cloud of black smoke. Everyone still kept their eye on the mass since there's a possibility that the beast could not be killed very easily by Segata's trick.
Joe, Gamma, and Segata watched the results from afar and waited for any signs of the creature surviving that quadruple explosion. Gamma activated his scanners again to see if it really was dead while getting some information on what the creature really is.
"Do you think I did alright with that last tactic? There's still a possibility that the boss still lives and its up to the others to fully deplete its miserable life," Segata asked.
Gamma still contented to gather data as usual and this could take a while mostly due to the smoke obscuring the more important information for him to gather on that being. A nearby ambulance already arrived on the street and the Outrun couple does their part to deliver Amy's body to the right people for medical attention. A portion of the crowed surrounded the vehicle since they were truly worried about what became of the pink hedgehog. The infirmary staff hauled amy into the trunk of this vehicle while the head of the hospital talks with Alberto about how long they have until they get all the patients necessary to be treated.
"Thanks for understanding the situation, these are important people that need the medical attention necessary for these next few weeks of saving the world from these Subspace punks. Just give me and my beautiful girl some time to retrieve the few cops that were injured earlier," he said.
It wasn't until a familiar voice could be heard from the crowd to get Clarissa's attention.
"Guys, we are already here to get treated. Thanks for calling the ambulance here to take care of Amy and reserve it for us!".
The crowd of civilians stepped aside to reveal Billy Hatcher and Sir Pepper carrying the two wooded authorial figures to the unlikely couple, both Hardy and Janet who were slightly recovering from Ramirez's last attack. Clarissa quickly grabbed her boyfriend's hand and directed his attention to the right people he were looking for. Needless to say, he was actually surprised that the remaining heroes were doing a fantastic job at helping out and the ambulance didn't need to wait any longer.
"So part of the full gang is here already, sweet! Looks like these two officers are now yours to handle and we'll promise to pay the bill to take care of them," he said to the driver beside him.
The man shook his head solemnly and said, "Just taking care of them is the most important part since the entire planet is at stake. You guys just do your job at getting these bad people out of here and money isn't the main priority for now."
This would actually surprise the young man since he didn't expect everything to be free of charge just because of the dire situation their world was in.
"Sounds like they know how important this entire situation is, baby. Just let the guys take these cops in so we can figure out a way to help the others," Clarissa said with a smile.
Without further delay, the rest of the ambulance's team hauled the Virtua Cops on their own separate stretchers before taking them away to the vehicle. The driver would then pay his respects with the tip of his white hat before heading to the vehicle.
"Make sure you get these guys out of the beach for us, ok?" he said in a calm tone.
Alberto got what the old man was saying and focused his attention on Billy and Sir Pepper since he had a few worse for them.
"So what are you guys planning on doing for now?" he asked.
Billy looked at his loyal Egg Animal that flew in his direction as a sign that things were going well as planned.
"We are going to get the Legion out of here by taking out that beast of theirs by force. Bayonetta should be unfrozen by now and Segata did us a favor by destroying the pod with with his crazy plans. Plus I saw Ash heeding out into the waters to help out knowing that crazy rabbit loves carnage," he said before making a wide grin.
"Omochao should be safe protecting the Chaos Emerald since most of the Legion's allies had been defeated already with the exception of their squad leaders who are fighting each other. It's only a matter of time until the real battle begins in the sea with the behemoth they had been farming till this day," the windup knight said.
Now everyone turned towards the smokey mass in the ocean to see if it would reveal itself soon, awaiting what horrible beast would be under the command of the legion. Now the first thing to occur was a massive clawed arm reaching out of the smoke with the heroes being unsuspectedly near it. The crustaceous arm slowly dropped from the air above the Headdy and Alex Kidd with the two being alarmed by its sudden appearance.
"What the heck is that?" the alarmed puppet yelled.
The arm would now be inching its way towards the two and they split up to evade the incoming appendage's wrath. Gear finally stopped running and allied Ristar to grab his arms to ensure the blue hero wouldn't drown in the deep ocean bellow him. Ash made sure to stop moving his buzz saw ride altogether, though the blade needed to keep rotating so that the undead rabbit could stay inflated in the midsts of this. He peered out the blade like his other nearby allies to take a look at the massive green arm that reached out the smoke and knew that it's a sign of nothing good coming.
"Well, here this monster is and I can already imagine how horrible it would look`once it reveals its entire body," he said in a serious tone.
Ristar observes the cloudy mass to see it reveal another massive arm of the same share on the other side. The star faced hero would be extremely unnerved by this and knows that this could be something even more dangerous than anyone he had fought before. Sweat rolled down his face while Gear would feel equally as intimidated as him since the creature appears to be much larger than your average sea monster.
"Looks like something that's much more terrifying that anyone I had seen on the planets of my galaxy. Must have been something of much more importance than Greedy that the Legion had taken," he said in a weak voice.
"You may be right about that one, Ristar. I think we might going to need plenty of strength and teamwork to handle something like this. I would be afraid to see what this thing would look like in its terrifying glory," the blue haired hero replied.
An eerie shrill screech beamed from within the smokey mass that travels across the entire area from the ocean to the beach. This was much louder and frightening than the alarm that Ramirez sounded, causing the nearby heroes to cover their ears during the hidden beast's bellow. Segata and his friend are able to hear the monster's ungodly sound as they watched plenty of massive ripples forming in the ocean because of it. Gamma finally had something to scan with the two clawed arms revealed and continued gathering data from his special visor to see what it is.
"Gamma, are you sure that you aren't finished scanning the creature's body?" the concerned ninja said.
The E-Series robot is still busy as ever and the smoke still proved as a major problem to him.
"The arms are showing signs of it belonging to that of a massive crustacean and I can guarantee that its from something that isn;t from this planet. My scanners also indicate that this creature is capable of traveling through time and owns a colony that nearly wiped out plenty of oceans before," Gamma said.
Segata heard these details loud and clear and reacted with shock once he thought of what this monster could be. Joe seeing the man react this way was a sign that something terrible came to his mind and he might be familiar with what the being could be.
"Segata-san? Is there something wrong?" Joe asked.
The wild haired man then clenched both of his fists tightly while staring intensely at the creature's semi-concealed body.
"This creature is something that's truly a one that we need to kill as fast as possible. The longer it stays in the ocean, the more likely it is that it would be her new nesting area to repopulate and spread the Vortex species throughout this planet," he replied with that fire in his voice.
Bayonetta would be petting the content Cipher as a way of thanking him for saving her from her own frozen shell like he had done with Ristar and the lifeguard. The winged Egg Animal would be purring with a smile as she rubbed the more sensitive parts of his nose and he rolled on his sides while enjoying it. It wasn't until the unknown creature in the sea would roar agains to finally get her attention so that she could gaze at its mysterious appearance. She could see that her friends were already over there to watch it reveal itself from a mile away and the smokey being revealed another pair of limbs that were slightly smaller than the previously revealed arms. The witch had her eye on this thing with a serious look while Cipher growled in alert upon seeing it. It wasn't until the other heroes like Billy Hatcher and Sir Pepper appeared to see how things were going.
"Bayonetta! It's good that you were finally saved from Cipher while we were gone. Is there anything out of the ordinary happening?" Billy said while catching his breath.
"We were able to hear some horrible screech from this direction and it definitely scared the civilians where we were. Did anything happen here, Miss Bayonetta?" the toy soldier asked.
Bayonetta pulled out her famed guns and thought about the possibilities of her needing a vehicle in order to take this creature on herself.
"I don't know what happened, but I know is that things are going to get rough soon. I doubt they will be able to handle that ugly mother by themselves and she's nearly as big as any of the Four Cardinal Virtues that I've fought in the past," she said.
Now the next thing that occurred would be something that could send shivers down anyone's spine. A pair of white shining eyes appeared within the smokey clouds and they seemed like something that belongs to a demon. Cipher turned from angry Egg Animal to a whimpering pup within seconds once he saw these eyes from afar. Billy was able to see this and feels that he would need to find an alternate way of facing him since his loyal friend is terrified of that beast's shining eyes.
"Cipher is dreadfully afraid of whatever it is that's out there. From the look of its eyes, it is monstrosity that only the Legion would use as a last resort for this day," he said with a weak tone.
Sir Pepper realized that he was missing something important and raised his brows in surprise before running off in the west to go retrieve it.
"Hey, Pepper! Where are you going!" Billy yelled.
"My boy, I need my valuable steed if I am to be of assistance. Just wait right there and we'll be ready to take down that monster!" he responds while running across the hot sand.
Billy could do little to react from that scene and couldn't make a less funny face after witnessing the toy soldier running away from the scene.
"Before we are to get over there and fight it. I will make sure to summon my beloved motorcycle so that I can tear the sea like I would to any street. Who knows, I probably might be able to see this horrible being during the process of summoning it," the Umbran Witch said in a wittier manner.
While Billy stood next to her, she snaps her fingers to summon a massive purple portal like the ones she does during Witch Twist for the new ride to arrive. Segata and Joe were looking dead into the creature's terrifying eyes that glow and their robotic ally would still be gathering more data on it.
"So you heard everything I've said about this terrible being, Joe? This is exactly why we must take the situation serious since our world could be in such a bad condition if we do not stop her while she's there. It's only matter of time until we can finally get a full glimpse of her body," the Sega Saturn fanatic explained.
Now the smoke begins to clear within the next few seconds as the crustaceous arms started to move and the ominous eyes still glared at the living being ahed of it. The nearby heroes in the ocean, even the fearsome Ash, would be paralyzed in fear once they are finally getting a chance to see what this morbid being was. The lower part unfolds like a blanket to reveal a massive green body akin to that of an extraterrestrial arthropod and it definitely wasn't something that fellow alien Ristar would be familiar of. The star faced hero opened his mouth slowly as he looks at the creature's grotesque body with Ash making what could be interpreted as a "What the hell?" expression. Gear could feel Fear creeping across his entire body since this is something beyond what he would see in his world.
"Wh…hh….what in the world is this thing?" he said in dread.
Joe and Segata watched as the creature's body would slowly be revealed as the dark clouds slowly subsides, taking note of the alien appearance of the creature's body.
"This is it, the Vortex Queen is nope showing off her terrifying appearance before our eyes. We really have to remember exactly what to do once we see that monster rear her ugly head," he said with his eyes widened.
Gamma finally received all the data he needed and starts looking through his weapon investor to find the right tools necessary to defeat her.
"He is right, this Vortex Queen is truly a formidable foe unlike the Legion members in this area. It would require a military force or something similar to eliminate this dangerous target," he said.
The smoke finally revealed what could be the head of this horrible creature and its something like you would expect out of your average horror sci-fi film. With its elongated head and frightening pair of jaws, the Vortex Queen would be one of the few extraterrestrial foes to actually send chills down Bayo's spine. Now Cipher would be at the point of hiding behind his already terrified master while they witness the true form of this deadly beast. Words could not describe the horrified face Billy and as he observes the gaping black eye sockets of this creature and crustaceous limbs move around like an inhuman creature.
"That monster, what in Menie-Funie's name is that thing?" he said as his voice shakes.
The motorcycle that Bayonetta ordered was already summoned within the past few minutes and the witch is now itching for a fight with this horrible monstrosity that erects from the sea. Then the infamous Vortex Queen emits another ungodly screech to send more powerful ripples in the body of salt water, all while wildly swinging its limbs around like a rearing centipede. Headdy and Alex Kidd were frozen in fear upon witnessing this creature emit such a terrible sound. Gear and the others were feeling as terrified was them from below since this crustaceous being towers above them at a size that could rival Chaos in his "perfect" form.
"Like I said, that is one ugly mother that we're looking at and she could feel right at home in Hell. But what we need to do send her there ASAP," the dead rabbit said in a joking manner.
Ristar glared at Ash since this was no time to joke and things were now getting serious at the moment.
"I don't know about you guys, but I feel that we would have to start aiming for its head since it looks less armored in comparison with the rest of its body. But the real challenge would be having to take on those claws since we did see it nearly attack the others from above," Gear suggested.
The creature's eye creepily moved towards the nearby heroes that looked at it while making a low pitched growl to imply annoyance. The airplane headed puppet grew cautious during this creepy situation while Alex Kidd thinks about what will the alien monstrosity plan on doing next. Joe's group watched from afar and knew that the Vortex Queen would eventually try to attack the heroes for disturbing her in the new environment.
"I'm heading there right now to eliminate it. Stay here and keep an eye on the others!" Gamma said before taking off.
Joe tried to tell the E-Series robot to stay only to watch the determined fighting droid fly off in the direction of the creature to help out. Then Segata would chase after him by water skating the salt water with his barefoot to help out.
"Follow us if you want to help! Our robot friend does have the right idea that we need to stop her before she takes over this ocean!" he shouts.
Then Joe would use this time to use a special device meant for calling his trademark vehicle from the Trasformed competition since he would rather not be left out.
Don't worry guys, I'm going to call for a certain means of transportation before I'm able to help destroy this evil being.
Selvaria and Ramirez continued their intense fight and it appeared that neither one of them were able to land a single hit. Every time he landed one of his more dangerous techniques, Selvaria would easily dodge or counter him due to her Valkyrian blood making her a skilled warrior in comparison to him.
"Just stay still so that I can crush that heart of yours. If I can't have it anymore, then I would be the one to get rid of it myself!" he screamed before unleashing another seres of ice crystals.
The Valkyrur dodged these easily with her athletic prowess and charged at him with her trademark lance at a fats speed.
"You would crush my heart? Then I will be the one to crush you where you stand, headstrong fool!" she cried.
Ramirez blocked the attack again with his blade and struggles to hold the silver haired "witch" of defeating him. They stared intensely into each others eyes with blind hatred due to their conflict this day and remembered all the times they used to be close.
Sorry Maximilian for doubting that this man could be as miraculous as you. I guess that I was a blind woman for not looking past the more disgusting qualities of him. But for today, I'll be the one to atone for my sins and stopping the Legion from the things that they are doing. Even if it's costs my own life! She broke through Ramirez's guard with the later wondering what would become of him after this is over.
Then Selvaria activated her Azure Flames to deal a powerful slash to the man's entire body, engulfing him in a rising shockwave from the force of her attack. He screams as the rising blue flames damaged his body with his opponent staring him down and breathing heavily. The crowd who were terrified from the Vortex Queen's earlier appearance the focused their attention on the rising pillar of blue flames that resulted in the climax of Selvaria's fight.
"Mom, what is happened over there? Is Sonic finally here to save the day?" the younger boy from the earlier Exploder incident said.
This is one of these moments where Ramirez would want to use his Silver Eclipse agains as he struggled to move his damaged right hand. But the raging flames alone put enough damage on his body and he continued to express his pain from this damaged body.
You …. you managed to betray my trust and the Legion's allegiance. But I couldn't correct your wrongs or defeat you to prove my loyalty to the organization. Lord Galcian, please forgive me for failing you for the second time.
The azure phenomenon died down to leave the fully damaged man rising above the ground and he falls towards the damaged earth below him. Selvaria watched this entire situation happen while panting from her heated battle earlier, glad that she was finally abel to defeat him in his own game. Then the man would finally hit the hand on his back to reveal his damaged appearance before the eyes of his former lover. His black uniform would be torn to reveal certain parts of his upper body and his body would be covered in bloody scars from the Valkyrur's devastating attack. After managing to survive for a good hour with his fight against the heroes, Ramirez is finally down for the count and this left his entire group defeated with the exception of Guan Yu. Selvaria would walk before the downed victim with a cold look, but this look felt a bit different mostly due to the feeling of sympathy for everything she went through to defeat him. Bayonetta and Billy Hatcher had set out in the sea like the other heroes during the moment and the crowd them focused their attention on the peculiar scene before them. She slowly lifted him with her other arm after dropping her special shield and looked into his unconscious face with this curious look. Her eyes could actually feel a bit of sadness in them despite the satisfaction of defeating him as he looked at her opponent's face.
"Sorry Ramirez, but it's for the best. I would be able to keep working with you beyond this day, but the decision is finally and I am no longer as slave for the Legion unlike you. But there's one last thing I would grant you before I help my new allies," she said in a soft tone.
Then she pulled the unconscious body of Ramirez a bit closer and leans in for a last kiss to his mouth, essentially one parting gift she had for him before she leave's his squadron for good. The entire crowd watched the situation and couldn't help but to find it a bit sad in their eyes since these two seemed close at first until Amy changed Selvaria's mind after helping her. She could feel her heart slowly beating as signs that this was a hard thing for her to do and this would be one of the toughest decisions that she made in a long time. Once the kiss was finally over, she slowly laid the man back on the sand and have her last look at him before focusing on the bigger issue at hand.
"Farewell, Commander Ramirez. I hope you eventually realize that this whole situation isn't something that you should want the most," she said in a soft sad tone.
Now the heroes were going all out in defeating the ravenous Vortex Queen with their strength depending on teamwork and looking for a valid weakness of the creature's massive body. Gear ran around the creature's lower legs to look for something of interest for him to attack, all while avoiding to fall back into the deep water below him. Ristar would be spinning on the tip of her massive claw to prepare for a deadly Star Charge at the head that Gear talked about earlier.
If what he said was true, then I would have to use a few Star Charges to really break that creature's ugly face. Looking at how smooth it looks, it shouldn't be that hard to really harm her.
As he kept spinning, Headdy and Alex Kidd would be focused on distracting her from above. Her deadly jaws looked like that they would easily crush a car with them and staying far from it would be their main objective.
"Headdy, make sure to deal some good shots to her face!" he commanded.
The airplane faced Headdy would give Kidd a thumbs up and focus his attention on the terrifying face before them. The two fired their shoots at her face and the creature would emit a screech of pain from these attacks. Then she would raise one of her upper claws and try attacking them with it, giving them the signal that it was time to dodge it. But what she didn't know was that Ristar is spinning on the tip of it and he launched himself right at her face. He managed to deal the amount of pain for the creature to screech again and try covering her face with them as black blobs bled from it. This would normally be a sign that they hurt her in the right spot and this is the indefinite weak spot to attack.
"Guys, I'm heading your way and this bunny is going to give this ugly bastard hell!" Ash said as the saw blade raced up the creature's exoskeleton.
He is determined to kill this creature in the most crazy ways possible and looks for possible weak points to attack on its face. He made sure the blades were running deep in her armored skin so that he wouldn't fall at any time when she tries to attack his partners. The crustaceous beast raised her r upper claw and slams it down towards the airborne heroes. Alex Kidd and Headdy flew backwards to evade the attack and notice their undead ally racing his way up her thorax. On top of that, Ristar falls toward that outreached arm and grabs it again with his stretchy black arms to stay hanging.
"Good job you two! We will do our best to distract him while all of this is happening!" the airplane headed puppet shouts.
Gear would still be running on the beast and he made his way to the right upper claw of her massive body to find a safer way of reaching her head. The blue haired hero would notice that Ash finally reached the upper part of her thorax to reach the terrifying face of this deadly creature.
So that's the type of game that you would play? Then watch as I go at full speed and reach the top before you.
With a smug grin, Gear would run at a faster pace to become this translucent blue blur that bounced to the other arm and ran across it within seconds. The Vortex Queen would notice the undead rabbit heading her way and appropriately lets out a low pitched growl. Ash takes out his favorite weapon, which appears to be a silver cannon, and locks onto the very face of this monster as it prepares to inhale him.
"This Beam-O-Blaster could be the one thing that could send that ugly face of yours to Hell. So open wide and allow me to be the one to tear you apart within in a flash," he said before emitting an evil high pitched cackle.
This devious rabbit got the perfect weapon ready to fire as the suction begins to pull him faster thanks to the Vortex Queen's powerful mouth. Gear would finally reach the upper claw of the her arm just to watch what plan this crazy rabbit had in mind for the monster's ugly mug.
"See you in hell, crab breath," he said in a sinister tone before activating the massive cannon.
A powerful blast of pink energy would be launched onto the face of the Vortex Queen's face and burns the more sensitive parts of her face. The empty eye sockets were also filled with the energy of this blast, fully destroying the eyes of this monster and removing her inability to see. The mouth would be filled with this blast's energy as well and it damaged her throat with the high temperatures of the hellish energy. Gear observed this entire situation and would be left speechless from the powerful of that blaster the rabbit had. What really got him was the energy version of a pentagram that appeared around Ash's saw blade ride while he is firing this blast.
"Remind me, to never get on his bad side if he has a weapon like that?" he said with a dopey expression.
Even Alex Kidd and Headdy were wide-eyed and speechless during this out of the blue plan that the hell ridden rabbit had planed for him. Soon, the laser shoot from Ash's gun would die within seconds and the Vortex Queen would be revealed as a severely burned "skull" without any eyes left to see with. The smoke flies from the barrel of the rabbit's blaster as he looked at the "defeated" beast to see if she was dead after that. Ristar made no haste at spinning on the end of the Queen's left upper claw to prepare for another powerful Star Charge at her face. Hearing an angrier growl from the beast with the scorched face would be enough to let him know that his deadliest weapon did little to harm her.
"Aw come on! That blast should have been enough to kill you! Damn, if only she didn't have that thick skull to save her crustaceous hide!" Ash complained before crossing his arms.
Now it would be up to Gear to do his apart on using his more powerful abilities now that he's facing a foe who would be appropriate for them. He cracked his knuckles with a serious look once the beast would begin attempting to inhale his ally again, tightening his muscles in anticipation of a deadly fight.
"Now, let me show you why I would become the new leader of the Segua army since the day my old master had left me. You are nothing in comparison to my more deadlier enemies and I would be the one to show you why the Consume region would call me The Blue Sonic," he said before getting into a more action oriented pose.
Ash turned his saw blade around and struggles to escape the beast's powerful suction with it's carnivorous jaws being a few feet away from him. He pulled out his missile blaster and fired a few shots at the monster's mouth to stop her. But the alien creature is so determined despite her pain, that she is trying to devour him on plain sight. Ash still desperately fires these missiles at its mouth as his vehicle gets closer and closer to her nasty jaws. Then Gear would fly towards the creature's mouth and deal a deadly wind punch with his hands just before Ash would be flying towards the creature's jaws. This powerful force would be enough to break the Vortex Queen's set of jaws like a wall broken by a powerful force and a vicious wind gust would be formed around a massive portion of her face to slash at it like a raging kamaitachi.
The fire in Gear's eyes easily show how much he value the life of his friends and few warriors would survive when facing the blue warrior when he's serious. The entire face of the Vortex Queen severely bleeds with more of the black blobs of blood pouring from the wounds of his powerful strike. Alex Kidd and Headdy dropped their jaws from what they saw since Gear never showcased this type of power before, let alone when fighting some of the Legion embers on the beach other than Marcus. The creature's head would also be recoiled towards the back of its sturdy next once the attack would be over and Gear watched the dead rabbit reattach his saw blade back to the exoskeleton to avoid falling. Ash struggled to hold on to his blade and looked up at the serious warrior that stood before him, being in shock over his power.
"Now here these words, stupid beast. This is what the true power of a Killer is and I'd hate to be the one to kill you at raw strength with though my own hands. Your little allies are responsible for the defeat of one of my closer friends and she did nothing to deserve what happened to her. If there's one this you wouldn't want to mess with, it is me!" Gear screams.
The angered Vortex Queen slowly raised her face before the angry warrior while growling and prepared to lift another of her arms to attack him. Ristar would be the first to to notice this and aimed towards that other limb while still spinning on the claw. Both Alex Kidd and Headdy flew towards the arm that she would attack herself with and fired their shots in an attempt to stop her.
"You are not going to lay a single claw on our pal at all! Jankenpon!" he said with anger.
The rapid fire blasts on the creature's arm would be enough to get the Vortex Queen's attention focused on the new attackers that successfully distracted her. Ristar had successfully launched himself at the creature's arm to stop it in its place with a powerful headbutt, giving Gear the signal to attack that said arm in the same play with another technique similar to the one he used on her face. The force of both of their attacks slowly traveled through the entire arm itself rapidly and the she screeched again in severe pain. This would cause the entire right arm to be torn off immediately with another fountain of black blood pouring into the sea, leading everyone to celebrate their plan working.
"Guys, we managed to take out one of her few means of attacking. Good work!" Alex Kidd said while raving in his Peticopter.
Now the creature would be howling in pain without its harm and swinging wildly in blind rage. Gear, and Ristar were now completely airborne and plotting on what to do next with this miserable creature while it's missing an arm. It wasn't until Billy Hatcher and Bayonetta had finally arrived on the scene and neared the lower body of the creature's massive body. This would be the witch's time to showcase her true power since she's preparing with a fight much larger than the Legion commanders she fought earlier.
"Looks like we were late to the party after all. But at least there's more to smash while we are crashing this fancy get-together," she said in a sarcastic manner.
Billy Hatcher would now be focused on what part of the creature's body that Cipher can attack while they were still here.
"Bow wow!" the winged Egg Animal mewed in fear once he finally got a good view of this terrible monster from below.
"It's alright Cipher, just focus on trying to destroy its legs while I'm tells me that this queen might plan on something related to spawning her own children," he said.
Then the massive Vortex Queen would finally calm down and focus her efforts on calling forth some reinforcements to help her out as she nests in this clean ocean. She lets out a massive screech that forced everyone to cover their ears again, but this one was much more different since it's more for something akin to calling out her offspring to help out and prepare invading the ocean.
"Looks like Momma is plotting something big and I can feel it. Just stay here and allow this witch to think about what to do with her," she said before checking out the ammunition of her gun.
Now the next thing that would happen is something many didn't expect since it will begin in the ocean. A two man tall alien creature jump rout of the ground and screeched at the nearby Billy Hatcher. Cipher then charged at the creature and burned it to death on sign out of fear, knowing that it was close to harming his surprised surprised master.
"Whoah! Thanks Cipher, I could have been alien food if it weren't for you," he replied.
"Believe me you two, there's always more babies that will be born as long as this big bad mother exists," she said in caution.
Then similar creatures to the one Cipher killed started popping out of various places in the deep sea water like a pack of sharks looking for their prey. Bayonetta pulls out her guns in anticipation while Billy still balanced atop his egg with the help of the Circus Hat. More of these Vortex drones would appear in certain parts of the water from behind with their claws ready to tear these victims apart for the sake of their Queen. Ristar and his friends managed to grab the Queen's other limb and watched as her legions of hungry children surrounded their allies bellow.
"Bayonetta! Billy! Look out for those giant water fleas!" the star face hero screamed.
The Vortex Queen's wrath had just begin and now her children of the deep were ready to create chaos in the sunny sea of Outrun Bay.
In an unfortunate turn of events, Ramirez would attemptexplaining what he did for Selvaria was right only for the late to crush his heart figuratively with a slap to the face. This would result in the two having an emotional fight to settle for what's right of wrong for the Legion, leaving the heroes to prepare to take see what fell from their ship. Clarissa and Alberto did the honors of taking Amy and the defeated Virtua Cops to the ambulance for the service to actually be free because the staff understands how serious this Subspace Invasion was. The creature that fell from the ship turns out to be the dreaded Vortex Queen and its presence alone would be enough to alarm every hero to take this battle to the sea. But things would take a darker turn once she would be able to spawn plenty of Vortex drones as backup after her enemies' efforts of harming her armored body. The next chapter should be available next Friday, but it won;t be as early because it isn;t a special day like today. Before I'm able to have fun with my friends and family, I would really love to thank you guys for following my story to this very day. So until then, I wish you all a happy reading!
