Chapter 48: Draconic Fury
Everyone stared at the scene in front of them with anger in their eyes. They had thought Melissa had died years ago when she tried to eat Vulcan's soul, but apparently she was a tenacious one. Now she had Alex and Snake at her mercy.
"Dammit! I thought she was offed already!" Cortona cursed angrily.
"Apparently I didn't do it properly. I think I'll fix that." Vulcan growled.
"You're too late, fools! This cocoon of darkness will trap that imbecile Alex and can't be broken from the outside! And now you'll die just as he did!" The woman yelled before her body started to change shape and grew until she took the shape of a massive Worm.
"Is she trying to mimic a Worm god?" Ana asked, scratching her head in confusion.
[Who cares?! Let's just kill the damn bitch!] Skolas growled as he readied his scorch cannon.
The Sins all charged into battle and started shooting, and using their weapons to try and wound the worm.
"Take this!" Harlequin yelled he sent his spear into Melissa's massive worm chest.
"Is that supposed to hurt?" The short woman laughed mockingly. Then the spear started sprouting Siva tendrils which started wrapping around her and restrained her.
"No, it's supposed to do that. Cortona, Ana, NOW!" The Sloth Sin yelled.
"Activating Absolute Cancel Power jamming field." Ana said as she activated said device. Instantly, Melissa felt her power vanish, but the cocoon remained.
"Chaos…" Cortona said as an arc storm gathered above her. "REACH!" She yelled as she blasted the worm woman to kingdom come.
"AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Melissa screamed as she was reduced to nothing. After this, everyone finally had a moment of reprieve, but it was short lived.
"How are we gonna get Alex and Snake out of-" Hawk started to ask before Snake spoke… And everyone knew something was wrong inside the cocoon.
"G-g-g-gu-uys, so-o-ometh-i-i-ing is w-w-w-ro-ng!" He exclaimed as he malfunctioned.
The cocoon blew up and Snake fell to the ground and Alex… was in his Assault Mode, but there wasn't any trace of his Void light. The Exo didn't even look at them before he flew off into space before landing on the moon.
The Sins all looked at each other. Something wasn't right about their leader.
(The next day)
"Are you okay, Snake?" Cortona asked as Snake finally came back online.
"Yeah… Yeah, I am now. That cocoon messed me up." The Ghost replied as he tried to gather himself.
"What happened to Alex?" Ana asked.
"When the cocoon made me malfunction, some Darkness from it was filtered through me into him. I think he may have regressed to his old self prior to leaving the Commandments." He replied, causing Cortona's eyes to widen in alarm.
"Oh no…" She whispered.
"Then I'll just have to bash him around a little until he comes to his senses." Vulcan said, bashing his fists together.
"That's gonna be the only way to subdue him, unfortunately." The Serpent Sin sighed.
"I can undo the damage once he's done." Snake stated before remembering one crucial detail. "... Fuckberries." He groaned.
"What?" Harlequin questioned.
"Zander and Esta said that Elizabeth is due to get bred by the Hive today. The only way to free her is for her to die." He replied hesitantly. Almost immediately, the temperature dropped as Cortona let her killing intent flood the room. She should've been saddened, but enough of Alex had rubbed off on her for her to be murderous about stuff like what she just heard.
"Let's end this… Now." Was all she said in the most venomous tone possible.
"If it helps, Cayde's scouts and Eliksni soldiers on the moon say that Alex has been terrorising the Hive there. If we wanna find him, that's our best bet." Sentry stated.
"Then that's where we'll go. Let's move, people!" Cortona barked. The rest of the Sins nodded before they beelined for their ships and flew to the Luna.
(Elsewhere)
Tristan smirked as he cornered Natasha in the halls of the Tower with his hand pressed against the wall behind the right side of her head. He was looking her over, and subconsciously undressing her in his mind.
"T-tristan? What are you doing?" She asked nervously.
"I'm imagining what you'd look like, without all those clothes on." He purred. The Awoken girl immediately started blushing.
"W-w-what?!" She nearly shouted, but was secretly jumping for joy in her mind that her crush was looking at her the way she hoped he would.
"Is that wrong?" The silver skinned boy asked before he suddenly pulled her close and kissed her on the lips. Natasha froze before she melted into the kiss as she moaned in delight.
As the two separated, Tristan smirked. "Now I'll need your help with something. I want you to help me seduce Amanda, and my mother." He told her, causing her to blink.
"Since when did you have an interest in older women?" She asked.
"Since always, I just wasn't ready to show it." The boy told her.
"Alright, but in return, you're gonna have to try a new potion my mom developed." Natasha told him. "It's one that gives you the ability to transform into the opposite gender whenever you want." She whispered. Tristan's eyes widened in shock… And excitement.
"When was that developed?" He whispered into her ear.
"Last week. Imagine how good it'd feel to get your brains fucked out by your dad as a girl, or my dad, or Shaxx, so many options, and so many ways to to pop out babies." Purred the Princess. Tristan shivered at her tone and the images flooding his mind… He needed that potion. Then one idea came to him.
"What should my name be when I'm a girl?" He asked as they started walking back to his room.
"How about… Trish?" His girlfriend suggested.
"That'll work." He nodded as they entered his room.
(Elsewhere)
Luz sat on top of Nicholas's lap and straddled his waist with her lower hands on his chest and her upper right hand uncorking a bottle of the potion Natasha mentioned before shaking it in the prince's face.
"Okay Nicholas, now open up and say 'Ah~'." She prompted her boyfriend. The boy did as asked and opened his mouth for his Eliksni girlfriend. She then poured the potion down his throat and watched it take effect.
The boy slowly started changing from a fifteen year old boy to a fifteen year old girl, his features becoming much softer and more feminine, his body becoming slender and curvy, and his reproductive system becoming that of a fertile woman. When the changes were finished, she was found to have a CC-cup bust and a plump ass that looked identical to her mother's.
"W-what the-?!" The transformed boy stammered in shock as she looked at her new body.
"Well, aren't you a beautiful little gemstone." Luz purred as she started making out with her girlfriend. "I think we should have your daddy and mommy take you for a little spin, what do you think… Nichole?" She purred to the newly transformed girl.
"Yes…" Nichole moaned as she buried her face in the Eliksni girl's D-cup chest.
(Elsewhere)
Koroth walked atop the lunar surface with his consort in tow. As soon as he found one of the vacant breeding grounds, he stopped.
[It is time, my pet. Disrobe and prostrate yourself.] He told Elizabeth with a tug of her leash.
"Yes, master." She replied blankly before she removed every article of clothing on her body and prostrated herself. Koroth smiled and readied himself to penetrate her. But before he could do so…
BAM!
He was swatted into a wall, causing him to groan in pain as he fell to the ground. He growled as he got back to his feet.
[Who dares to-] He started to say only for the rest of his words to die in his throat. Standing across from him, next to his knocked over consort… Was the Dragon Sin himself, a look of fury on his face.
"You dare try to violate my daughter, you worthless creature?!" He roared demonically, Wrath in his voice. Warped as his mind and memories were from what Melissa did to him, he still had his instincts telling him to defend his daughter and add another victim to his list.
[You do not scare me, you worthless machine!] Koroth roared as he charged himself with Hive magic and charged at Alex, his sword drawn. The warped Dragon Sin just waited until Koroth was about to swing his blade down on him… And caught the blade in his hand, much to the General's surprise. [What?!] He got out before Alex crushed his blade in his hand, leaving a useless hilt behind.
"What's the matter, you worthless creature? I thought you were going to kill me." The Exo taunted mockingly as he stalked toward him like a predator. For the first time in his existence, Kototh, brother to the Fist of Crota, felt something new… Terror. Terror at the unstoppable monster in front of him, and at the fact that he was powerless to stop him.
In a fit of desperation to save himself, he fired a lethal bolt of dark energy… At Elizabeth. The second it hit her, she screamed in pain, causing Alex to snap his head to her and allowing Koroth to escape.
[Have fun with her now, machine!] He laughed as he teleported away to safety. Alex looked at his dead daughter and where Koroth was before one name came to mind…
Oryx.
This was his fault. His mistake. His folly. He committed this slight against his family. Alex growled as his Wrath continued to grow and grow and grow… Until…
(Elsewhere)
The rest of the Sins landed on the lunar surface with their weapons ready. They came here to find Alex, and find him they would.
"Okay, where do we find Alex?" Ana inquired.
"Following the Hive bodies would be a pretty good clue." Gon said as he pointed to a trail of dead Hive… That were killed in various ways.
"Wow… He's not showing any mercy, is he?" Ana mused.
"Let's just find him and-" Vulcan started to say when…
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!" A familiar voice exploded, piercing the vacuum of space.
The rest of the Sins jumped in surprise at the sudden noise and had to calm their now racing hearts.
"Was that… Alex?!" Harlequin asked in shock.
"Yep… And from the sounds of it, Oryx's life span just went down by a very large margin." Cortona got out as she tried to calm herself.
"You know, it's moments like this that make me remember why he's the Dragon Sin of Wrath." Vulcan admitted, his eyes wide.
The group followed the sound until they found Alex standing there over the naked and dead body of Elizabeth.
"No..." Cortona breathed in horror.
"... I tried to stop this. I managed to prevent her virginity from being taken, but… The bastard that nearly defiled her killed her so he could escape." Alex explained, still feeling murderous.
"Vulcan, now'd be a good time to try knocking him around." Harlequin told the Titan.
Vulcan immediately knocked Alex into a wall, causing the Exo to glare at him. He charged at the Lion Sin, intent on killing him but was met with his Rhitta. As they clashed, Vulcan turned to Ana.
"Ana, Perfect Cube! Now!" He ordered, getting a nod in return.
"Setting up the Perfect Cube!" She announced as she created a cube prison around the two Sins. Cortona didn't waste a moment and scooped up her deceased daughter and ran back to the group. She looked at her deceased child and felt rage flow through her processor.
'If the Hive want us to exterminate them, then we fucking will!' She thought angrily.
"What do you want? Can't you see I'm in a very bad mood?" The Exo growled.
"You need to be fixed. And I intend to do the fixing." The Lion Sin growled. "Besides, this is the perfect opportunity for me to show that I'm better than you."
"I'd like to see you try!" Alex yelled before the separated and squared off, each trying to figure out how to take the other down. A moment later, they started attacking each other in a flurry of sparks.
[This is insane!] Skolas exclaimed in shock.
"Cortona, was this really the same Alex-7 from the Ten Commandments?" Ana asked with side eyes.
"Some of his usual self is still there, but yeah it's him." The woman nodded. As the dust cleared after Vulcan kept chopping at Alex repeatedly, he stood up straight.
"Well then…" He said before gasping in pain as Alex suddenly reappeared and stabbed him in the stomach.
"Ya know, you're pretty good. Definitely worthy of your title as King of the Awoken. But…" He trailed off as he got ready to deliver another blow. "I'm still better than you!" He growled. He then swung a hard melee to Vulcan's face that sent him bouncing around the cube, and then crashing at his feet as the Exo shoved his boot into the man's face.
"This isn't looking good." Gon states.
"Just wait, things will improve soon." Ana told them.
Vulcan growled as he grabbed Alex by the leg and slammed him on the ground as he increased in size again and dwarfed him, the wound on his stomach closing up as his eight pack grew with him.
"That was a close one, but I'm afraid it's not enough." He shrugged.
"What the hell?!" Alex got out in surprise.
"As you guys already know, Vulcan's power increases and the day goes on." Ana started to say as the sun came into view. "Peaking at around noon, and when it does, for one minute, he becomes the pinnacle of invincibility…"
Vulcan kept growing until he entered his strongest form, and his body became set ablaze. "The One." Ana finished. The turbocharged Lion Sin looked down at the Exo on the ground, who was somehow not melting from the heat.
"So, you still had a trick up your sleeve, huh?" Alex said as he gripped Lostvayne and lunged. "A Thousand Divine Slashes!" He yelled, but as Vulcan turned around, he simply scratched his back.
"T'weren't not but an itch." He said simply. Alex just growled and lunged at him again, his dark aura covering his body.
"Dark BulletStorm!" He yelled as orbs of darkness pelted the behemoth before him… and bounced off like BBs off a car door. Vulcan, meanwhile, gave him a very unsettling grin before he raised his left hand and calmly sliced the air in front of him.
"Divine Sword: Vulcanus." He intoned as Alex's aura vanished… And white blood gushed out of his chassis. The Exo fell to the ground as sparks flew from his wound.
"I-Impossible!" He grunted. Vulcan looked down at him and his eyes literally blazed.
"As a god of demons, Alex, tell me." He began. "How does it feel to be looked down on by an Awoken?" He finished as Alex's optics slowly lost light and he fell dead.
"Well… Looks like we're good now." Ana sighed as Vulcan's minute came to an end. When he was no longer blazing, she opened the Cube.
"Ha ha ha! No trouble at all, in fact I'd swat Alex around as many times needed if need be!" The Titan laughed, Rhitta over his shoulder.
"Stop acting tough, you're in pain and you know it, I can tell." Ana told him.
"However do you mean, Ana my pet?" He smiled, before the Boar Sin gave him a light punch on his chest and seconds later…
THUD!
He collapsed to the ground, unconscious. This made everyone look at Ana in shock.
"EHHHH?!" They all yelled as they stared at her in shock. "What happened?!" They shouted.
[Ana just took him out with one punch!] Skolas shouted frantically, eye's wide.
"She's the new strongest member of the team!" Harlequin yelled, his pillow a shifting mess at the moment.
"No, he was simply one light punch away from passing out just now." Ana told them while looking at her husband. "Had this dragged out any longer, he'd be dead."
"Pretty sure Sentry would just revive him." Jarred commented.
Ana ignored him before a Ghost suddenly appeared from behind a rock. It was in a Reef Lotus flower petal shell with golden trim.
"Hey! It's Pulled Pork!" Hawk chirped. This made the others look at the Ghost oddly.
"It's probably rude of me to ask, but… Why is your name Pulled Pork?" Cortona asked, feeling weirded out by the name as she held her dead daughter.
"It's a name my fellow Ghosts gave me." He shrugged as he scanned Elizabeth. "May I? She seems promising." He asked the Serpent Sin.
"You have my consent." She nodded as she set her daughter down on the dusty ground. The Ghost then opened and flooded the girl with power, and turned her into a Warlock. Elizabeth shot up to her feet with not a gasp, but a roar of fury that made it clear she was her father's daughter.
"I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL-" She started to scream before she noticed her surroundings and blinked. "... What the hell happened?" She asked. She was answered by her mother as she glomped her daughter.
"You got corrupted by the Hive. According to your father, you were almost deflowered by one had he not stepped in. Though the bastard Hive killed you so he could escape Alex's Wrath." She explained as she held her close. The newly revived girl scowled before she pulled away from her mother.
"I know who the Hive was. It was Koroth, Brother to the Fist of Crota. I reserve the right to kill him myself. The same goes for Oryx's little daughters since they were the ones to corrupt me." She stated fiercely.
"Eh. Fair enough." Cortona shrugged. She then turned to Snake. "Think you can revive him?" She asked.
"*Sigh* Let's get this over with." He sighed as the process began.
Dragon Emperor0: Well that was… Something. Anyone else wanting to see how Nichole and soon to be Trish are with the Reef and Tower's residents in bed?
ThermalsniperN7: That's gonna be covered in the Erotic Extras extention. Also, KISS MY ASS, KOROTH! You didn't get to do what you wanted! *Laughs in satisfaction* Also, Elizabeth is a Guardian now! YAY!
Dragon Emperor0: Now all that leaves is Lara, Nicholas (Nichole) and Natasha. Hoo boy.
ThermalsniperN7: That's gonna be a field day. Also… Alex's roar pierced the vacuum of space. There's no way no one's gonna be able to NOT hear that! And considering Oryx set this in motion… Yeah, it is not a good day to be him right now.
Dragon Emperor0: Yeah, also we are approaching the part of the story where we introduce the Hurricane in Hurricane Reaper. The natural disaster subclasses are coming very soon. Hunters: Sky Swashbuckler. Titans: Sea Lancer. Warlocks: Earthbreaker.
ThermalsniperN7: This is one part of the story you guys will like. It's not gonna happen next chapter, sadly… Though we do have a good substitute! We'll be seeing just how far and wide Alex's roar went and how various beings react to it. I already know how Oryx will react. He he he…
Dragon Emperor0: Yeah. Anyway, see you guys next week.
