I've got a new job, which takes up most of my time during weekdays, so update will become slower. Perhaps it won't be as bad if I decided to be more motivated... Sorry for the wait...
Chapter 4
Uneasy All-Out Attack
Pulling back the bowstring, Link concentrated on transferring haki in the arrowhead of a loaded arrow. Taking aim at a dummy made of plastic erected on the floor like a scarecrow, he fired the arrow, letting it go for the center of the bull's eye on the dummy's body. Rather than piercing into the center and stopping like always, the arrow somehow managed to cause the dummy to break apart in two in a way that looked like it exploded. Master Hand caught the arrow with two fingers, due to its size compared to him, to stop it from flying any farther, in fear of hitting random things.
"Whoa! That was unbelievable!" said Link, not believing what he just did to the dummy.
"That's armament haki for you! Not only do you use it to strengthen yourself, you also use it to enhance the power of your weapons!" Master Hand told him while dropping the arrow in his hand. "And just like how you can use it to strengthen your defense, the same can be done for whatever you are holding."
"Then that means my shield will be virtually indestructible if I master that!" said Link, taking his shield off his back and looking at it.
Master Hand looked at the other Smashers training and then told Link something. The Hylian looked at Ganondorf, who had just punched through a wall of steel set up for the purpose of training. When the Gerudo had his back turned to him, Link took out his boomerang and threw it at him. Without turning around, Ganondorf caught the boomerang with his bare hand and then looked at Link. "Sorry, that won't do," he told the Hylian. "I sensed it approaching."
"Yeah, I was expecting you to catch it after sensing it approaching with observation haki," Link said to him.
"You guys are doing a good job!" Master Hand said to the all the Smashers present. "You managed to use haki to great extent in a short amount of time! I think this is pretty much all I can teach you, other than Conqueror's Haki, so the rest is up to you! Hope you can master it yourselves!"
"Conqueror's Haki sounds like my kind of thing," said Ganondorf. "Wonder if I am born with that ability..."
"You'll probably know if you find yourself in a desperate and emotional situation," Dark Pit said to him. "Assuming you are brave enough to let that happen."
"Perhaps, but just be sure that this method really works, I should beat you up and see if you will unlock it when your life is flashing before your eyes," Ganondorf said to him, sounding a bit offended, since Dark Pit was implying he was too scared to find out himself.
"Strange, we can't get in contact with Tooneria," one soldier said while working on the control panel for the transdimensional machine.
Kamui was in the room when she heard this. Corrin had just returned to Tooneria to deal with certain businesses, having left only a few minutes ago. The people present were still able to keep in touch with their own world just moments ago, but all of a sudden, connection was cut. "Why not check out the wires?" the silver-haired woman suggested.
The soldiers checked the wiring system and also opened the control panel to see if there was anything wrong. "There's nothing wrong with them, vice admiral," one of them reported.
"You sure? Then we should be able to contact them," said Kamui.
"We can't even open the portal back to our world!" said another soldier. He pressed the button that would make the portal appear, but nothing happened at all.
"You really sure nothing is broken? Check again!" said Kamui.
The soldiers and scientists checked the room carefully, but the answer was the same. Just as they were wondering what happened, a siren went off. "We are under attack!" said a loud voice that was broadcasted throughout the ship. "This is not a drill! I repeat! This is not a drill!"
Hearing this, Kamui and several of the soldiers rushed to the deck. They saw jets flying overhead them, firing at the ship. Taking a good look at those jets, Kamui said, "Those belong to the military of this place!"
"What are they doing attacking us?!" asked a soldier.
"We'll find out after we shoot them down!" said Kamui. "Everyone! Fire back at will!"
Some of the soldiers ran for mounted guns, while some ran to jets to take off after the enemy jets. As they were doing this, the ship suddenly shook at the same time an explosion was heard. "What happened?!" asked Kamui.
"Torpedo attack from underwater!" shouted a soldier.
Gritting her teeth, Kamui said in her head, "What is the meaning of coming after us like this?! Don't tell me this is grudge for this whole yukkuri thing?!"
An enemy jet flew towards her, firing rapidly from its machine gun. Seeing this, Kamui held up her chainsaw-like sword in a defensive manner to block the incoming bullets. As the jet flew over her, she leaped up and cut a hole below it. This caused its fuel to leak out, and the jet flew away from the ship before falling to the sea.
Several missiles were fired by the jets, and underwater, submarines were firing torpedoes at the ship. Projectiles were coming from all over the place in great numbers, so much that those aboard the ship couldn't do anything.
"Critical damage to the ship! We'll sink if this keeps up!" reported a soldier in panic.
"Is the portal not working?!" asked Kamui.
"No! It still won't open, and we still cannot contact HQ!" replied that soldier.
"What is happening?!" wondered Kamui. Seeing that the situation was dire at the moment, she decided to put the issue of the portal and communication not working away and focus on resolving the current situation first. Since their jets were dealing with the enemy jets, she decided to go underwater and deal with the submarines.
The silver-haired woman jumped off the deck and dived underwater before transforming into her dragon form. She saw at least four submarines surrounding the ship. She swam towards one of the submarines at a fast speed, and when it fired a torpedo at her, she swatted it away with one of her hind legs while continuing in its direction. Lowering her head and pointing her horns at the submarine, Kamui built up speed and made a light blue aura appeared around herself. When the aura was at its brightest, she moved at max speed.
She charged through the submarine like it was made of butter. Just like that, the underwater boat became filled with water and sank while slowly breaking apart. The half-dragon woman then leaped out of water and spread her wings to stay airborne. Scanning the water surface for the location of the other submarines, she headed for another one, using the same move, but this time in air. By the time she was underwater, she was at her max speed, and she was able to destroy another submarine using the same method.
Looking up, Kamui saw two more submarines. The dragon took a deep breath before opening her mouth as wide as she could, creating a swirling current that caught one of the submarines, causing it to spin uncontrollably. Moving her head in the direction of the other submarine, Kamui "carried" the one that was caught and crashed it into the second one. Both submarines were then pushed out of the water, where the swirling current took the form of a waterspout after leaving the water surface. The two submarines spun while constantly crashing into each other, eventually breaking apart and tossing the crew members inside all over the place.
With all the submarines dealt with, Kamui flew out of the water. Staying airborne by constantly flapping her wings, Kamui released a huge blast of water from her mouth while spinning in place to shoot down all the jets that were around her. Despite being water, they were sill powerful enough to tear through the hard exterior of the jets and destroy them. The soldiers on the ship watched in awe at the vice admiral taking down all the enemies by herself. This wasn't an unfamiliar sight to them, though. Some of them had seen Kamui on the battlefield before, and she had always proven herself to be a powerful fighter and a force to be reckoned with. Taking down a large army by herself wasn't an issue for her.
Missiles were suddenly fired at Kamui from above at an angle. Thanks to her observation haki, she sensed it approaching and thus moved out of the way in time. However, more missiles were fired at her, all of them by jets that were hiding in the clouds. The jets flew around her at a fast speed and fired missiles and bullets nonstop. Due to the large number of them, Kamui found herself being a bit overwhelmed. However, she continued her best to fight back. Whatever the reason it was they were attacking them, there was no way she was going to let them win.
Dr. Furhead, Barry, and some other scientists were doing research on yukkuris. Even though there was a lot of information on yukkuris thanks to research papers brought over from World OYP, they still wanted to see if they could find out more about yukkuris themselves. Currently, they were studying how yukkuris were able to make pieces of boards with wheels attached move around and even make turns just by sitting on them.
"Suiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" said a marisa cheerfully while traveling around on a wheeled board in an empty room. The scientists were in a room behind a window, observing the marisa having fun driving around.
"The marisa is able to move the board by simply looking in the desired direction... There is little to no body movements whenever it turns in a particular direction... Such a thing should be impossible..." said a scientist while looking at readings on a computer.
"Even the reports from World OYP say this is something that baffled scientists..." said Barry. "This is something that requires further investigation. There's definitely a method the yukkuris are using to make those things move."
Suddenly, they heard commotion happening outside the room. Curious, they went outside to see what was going on and saw people dressed like street thugs walking around and vandalizing the place. "Hey! Who are you people?!" Barry angrily said to them. "You're not allowed to come in here and do this!"
"Shut up and show us the yukkuris! We're here to give them some good smashing!" one of the goons, Whiplash, said to him.
"You have no permission to hurt any of the yukkuris here!" Barry angrily said to him, only to get shoved aside by abuser celebrity.
"Get out of the way if you can't provide us an answer!" he said. The goons made their way through the place, beating up anyone who tried to stop them, until they came to a room filled with yukkuris placed in terrariums. "Aha! Found them at last! C'mon, boys! Let's give these s***heads some beating!"
The goons cheered happily before using their bludgeoning weapons to destroy the terrariums and kill the yukkuris. The scientists were horrified to see this, so they immediately notified the guards. Some of them even tried to stop the goons, but they weren't able to do much. The yukkuris fell to the floor and ran around while screaming in fear, and several of them were unable to escape the goons and got killed by them.
"Who are you people?! How can you do this?!" Dr. Furhead angrily said to the goons.
"You shut the hell up! You've taken the yukkuris from us, so we're here to reclaim them! Robbers like you have no right in stopping us!" Whiplash angrily said to him.
"What?! You're from World OYP?! How did you get here?" asked the puffball in surprise.
"You have no right to ask that! Scram! This place will soon belong to us!" Whiplash said before kicking the puffball into a wall.
Back in Dr. Blak's lab, several scientists were working on the transdimensional machine they created. "We received contact from that place about the yukkuri lab being compromised," said one scientist while working on a computer.
"Good! Make sure they don't let anyone in! If they need any support, we'll send more!" Dr. Blak said to him.
"We have also received report that our military managed to destroy the military of that Tooneria world!" said another scientist.
Everyone in the room was glad to hear this. Everything was going as planned. It only took a few days for them to learn everything they wanted to know about the Iso-Lock Program. By reverse engineering what they found out, they were able to undo the lockdown and make it so that only the portal they created could allow traveling to different dimensions. It was because of this that the Toonerian military was unable to get in contact with their HQ or travel back to their own world.
After successfully blocking contact and travel to Tooneria, World OYP send its military after them in order to destroy them completely and prevent them from stopping their plans. This plan was in fact known to several world leaders and military leaders, and quite a few of them were interested in this plan, so they all worked together to make sure that this was a success.
At the same time, they also sent people to the new yukkuri world to take over the yukkuri lab, as they believed that the lab contained things that would help with their plans.
"It seems that everything is going as planned! Before long, we will be able to repopulate our world with yukkuris," Victor said to Elrond. "In the very least, we have gained access to a world filled with them!"
"And best of all, we have managed to stop the world that messed with us from interfering!" said Elrond. "Nothing can stop us now!"
Out at sea, at the location that was once a battlefield...
All that remained of the Toonerian battleship were pieces of metal floating all over the surface of the sea. The ship had sunk into the ocean after receiving large amounts of hits. More or less everyone on board died when the ship sank, and those who were swimming were shot down by jets.
As for Kamui, she was nowhere to be found. All that left of her was a cape floating on the water...
