Chapter 25: Home Alone Warriors Part. 1

Outside of the mall on all sides, there are several of the monsters, demons, and even Inferno Scepter soldiers, cyborgs, a few Nephilim giants, goblin soldiers, demonic Christmas vandal and robber gangs, giant dinosaur sized rats some ridden by humanoid rat soldiers in hazmat suits, and lava stone statue soldiers. An entire army of darkness waiting to hunt down and kill throughout the night all the Sailor Senchi, Galactic Knights, Mystery Shack Investigators, and everyone else on the side of good.

There are two slightly tall presences on that is male and another female who are both in the darkness with mainly both their red glowing eyes showing. The Male has a giant two-handed axe, and the female has a short one-handed broadsword, both point their weapons toward the mall and their army of darkness from all sides slowly advances toward the infrastructure like angry ants coming into an anthill.

Everyone is now in their assigned positions and Dipper and Wendy are now on the command monitors.

Dipper on the head mike says, "All right, Twas the night before Christmas where not a creature was stirring except a gang of pricks coming to you at the southwest quadrant."

Wendy says into her headphone, "Hermes group are you set."

Tuxedo Sphinx he's in therapeutic camouflage mode in a store and on a small screen from his mask he gets a feed on his section where he sees a small street gang like group that are now advancing in the hallway.

Tuxedo Sphinx says, "Affirmative, I see a group of six demonic Christmas vandals that have just broken in and are now coming to Cronenberg's clothing store, they now breaking into the place but their slightly disorganized."

"Alright, let's give these naughty boys their gifts."

The demonic Christmas vandals all in typical gang street clothing attire like leather and jean jackets or vests but each of them is yellow skinned with horns all over their face and have rainbow colored eyes. They in their reckless anger and madness continue to bang up the steel gate but then suddenly the gate then opens. The demonic vandals look in confusion but then just go in anyway and look around and then suddenly one of the doors open and they suddenly see the display cases of colognes and perfume on that are ripe for destruction in their eyes. They all have their bats ready, and they all gather and then they all destroy he displays but the florescent lights go off and all the vandals are puzzled by this.

Tuxedo Sphinx and Sailor Mercury who is also in thermoptic camouflage because of a belt that Urawa gave her both have their remotes out and then start to press buttons. Both remote control different sections. Mercury presses hers first and Urawa/Tuxedo Spynx as well. When the button is pressed the perfume and cologne display cases, they suddenly break from a super sonic device installed in all of them.

The vandals are confused by this and then another button is pressed and a few of what look like perfume or cologne bottles inside are automated gas deployers as a few of the ones placed sprung out toward the vandals some sort of tear gas which make some of them disoriented and sick from it as the sour inhalation is making them cough and tear up. Then Sailor Mercury, Tuxedo Sphinx and even Silent Jim they all drop the camouflage, Mercury and Silent Jim put on breathing masks, while Urawa takes out his baton gun turns it on to number 2 which is kill mode.

Sailor Mercury takes out her Hyborian sword and Silent Jim he draws out two of his silver pistols which both have silencers. He starts to discharge, several of his bullets hit some of the vandals in vital places in each they leak out yellow green blood, but Jim mainly the head having on big Swiss cheese hole which splatters their yellow green brains to the side while going down like logs. Sailor Mercury points her Hyborian sword and shoots out ice beam which hits most of the Demonic Christmas vandals and they all freeze into place but also shatter like glass from the neon blue energy bolts coming from Sphinx's baton gun along with several more of Silent Jim magnum bullets that hit several more Demonic Vandal heads like glass and leave only the body standing like tree stumps. Sphinx, Mercury and Jim hear several presences might be coming they way and they quickly evacuation to the back of the store to come to another area.

In another place of the mall, there is a small band of goblin soldiers green skinned and slimy, in leather medieval armor, armed with swords, arrows, guns and other nasty weapons. One goblin soldier that goes to the food court along with two others that are hunting for all and one of them goes near the fountain area of the court. But then suddenly there is a whizzing sound in the air and some projectile penetrates though the neck of the soldier. The goblin is gurgling and spurting out blue green blood from the neck and mouth and then goes down on one of the fountains on the ground coloring the water blue green.

Both goblin soldiers they go to where their fellow soldier is and then when they look suddenly someone drops down right in front of them. The goblins look at who it is and it's someone in black and has a mask with what looks like big bug eyes. Michael, he throws takes out two daggers and twirls them and does tricks in both hands which dazzles and distracts both Goblin soldiers, at that moment Michael throws the two daggers underhanded, and both the daggers travel and hit straight through underneath the chins and they spit out blue green blood as well as spirt out underneath the chins and then both splashes down onto the fountain and make the running fountain color even deeper. Michael he unhooks the ropes behind him and the harness that held him up the celling quickly, then runs away from the area before any more arrive.

In another part of the mall there are more demon Christmas gang vandals that are looking around at an Asian Art Store called "Ring U Art and Antiquities" which consist of vases, paintings, and there are rows of glass display cases which have a collection of plates and porcelain figurines that are all inside. Some of the vandals are breaking some of the antiquities for no reason and are breaking up some of the antiquities.

There is one person that is about to break up some sort of arch spiral pattern in a display case but suddenly an arrowhead comes thought he pattern, and the arrow drills thought he forehead of the devil gang member, some light green blood gushes out of his head which hits a bit of the display case making a big splat and the gang member goes down. Through the hole there is Gabriel who is using a cross bow, he then runs.

Some of the group gang members they pick up on Gabriel's footsteps and they chase after him but as both do suddenly there are two antique porcelain plates that Wizz in the air and both plates go so fast they go right past both their necks. Suddenly from the vandals there are some sort of seems on the necks forming and then the seams suddenly gush out light green blood, both vandals are clutching their throats as the yellow green blood paints the glass displays and runs down their clothes and then both go down like logs. Both plates come down to the floor landing gently and both plates had razor blades duct taped to them. After that Gabriel runs further back in the store.

Meanwhile in another part of the mall, in the giant pool area of the mall where there is a big pirate ship afloat and a waterfall coming down near, there are a couple of Inferno solders along with one of the Nephilim whose skin is completely grey, where Medieval vest and paints, and armed with a sword that is big enough to cut a whole tree down in one stroke. The Inferno soldiers comb with him, searching around. But then suddenly someone in black covered all over with a mask with insect like eyes pops out from the shallows of the water is armed with the bow and arrow he discharges an arrow which hits the neck of one solder and then quickly reloads and shoots off another arrow and it hits the guy on the side of the head, and he goes down.

The Nephilim sees him and then he loads an arrow and then fires but it only hits him in the shoulder. But the Nephilim he just picks out the arrow as if it were just a sliver. Then looks at Michael with furious anger and then he starts to charge toward Michael. Michael, he puts the bow and arrow away and then immediately dives down while having a hand submerge device, he pulls out the handles, has the dial at maximum speed and presses the buttons and he immediately goes deeper down.

The Nephilim sees him, and he quickly gets into the shallows he then dives into the deep and is swimming toward Michael. Despite how slow it may seem for the giants to move they cover lots of distance from just one stroke. And the Nephilim its gain on Michael where its legs are close to chomping distance. The Giant moves its mouth and is about to chomp Michael, but then suddenly there is another noise, and the giant sees there is a silver metallic figure that is moving with foot just but also the back propellers pack which is interconnected to this portable sub device which is interconnected with the silver knight's armor.

The silver space knight Rom he looks thought the glass screen in from of him and the digital display has crosshairs which are right on the Nephilim and bring out a loud tone indicated lock on. Rom then discharges several of the mounted torpedoes at the Nephilim. The Nephilim doesn't recognize the threat until too late when the missiles hit and detonate blowing his body to pieces and painting the whole blue pool into a dark red. Several of the Inferno Soldiers they surround the pool and looks and see the red that has formed in the pool and is covering the entire radius.

The soldiers point their guns about to fire at anything that comes to the surface but then suddenly there are several missiles that merge from the water they come out and then in an arc come down toward the soldiers. Some of the enemy soldier's fire at the antipersonnel mini missiles but their bullets do no good as there were only able to hit a few to detonate in midair but the rest of the miniature missiles they come down fast and hard their direction and detonate throwing or just blowing several of them to pieces. Rom and Michael merge from behind the pirate boat near the rocky area, then take the time to move to another place in the water to hide and regroup.

Dipper and Wendy see this, and both then focus on a few other images on another monitor which are in the "Herchells Furniture Feast" store and then Dipper on the head mike then says to everyone on comm, "Alright Hermes group, Poseidon group, along with Gabriel have all done their part and regrouping, Apollo group are you ready?"

Talon says, "Loud and clear."

"Good because there are some rats already chewed though and heading your way."

In the Illumination Section of Herchells there are a few of the Cybernetic soldiers whom all have business suits on and trench coats with sunglasses on, along with a platoon of the Inferno Solders all dressed in black militaristic uniforms with riot gear combat helmets that are tinted black. They walk and pass each of the lamp and lights that were unlighted, all scanning the area with their sensors but picks up nothing.

Just as all of the group have just about covered the area, suddenly there is a hand in the dark with a remote of buttons and then the person he presses the buttons and suddenly the bulbs on each lamp in the area right in front or near each of the enemy soldiers turn on and then explode in a succession like popcorn on a popper, each of the detonated bulbs shoot out shrapnel.

Some of the shrapnel penetrates through the helmets of the soldiers and they go down and some are down from certain injuries. The cyborgs they have shrapnel sticking but they don't react with the pieces of shrapnel sticking to them. They keep scanning and looking but then their sensors break up one presence who has a silver face plate on and is now pointing his bionic arm which is shaped as a canon muzzle. He shoots out from the canon and a rectangle come out, the rectangle travels fast spinning constantly in a 360 as it continues to fly toward its target, the rectangle hits the face of the cyborg. Once it lands it sticks on him and then detonates and the cyborg is blown away without its head and is nothing but a walking body going in aimless directions and shooting out sparks from its spine stump. Three of the cyborgs turn his direction and fire, but he is going before they even can cut him down.

They are looking around but then suddenly Talon along with Sailor Venus and Jupiter come out and they just blast away at the cyborgs that are left. Talon does away with them with his cybernetic arm now transformed into a Vulcan cannon which is now discharging high velocity bullets. Sailor Venus uses her crescent beam smash and Jupiter her thunder wide pressure. The high velocity bullets they smash and cut into the cyborgs down in pieces, Venus's Crescent Beam takes off the heads of three of the cyborgs which are now left with stumps that shoot out sparks.

Jupiter wide pressure bolt blows apart a few of them and are now all in pieces. There is on other cyborg soldier coming one direction but suddenly there is a miniature puck that slides right in front of his feet and then the puck is emitting some sort of signal that is scrambling its senses but also doing something to his limbs, the cyborg is moving its head constantly and is moving in a jerky motion as if struggling to move in any direction but can't.

Candy then points her left wrist gauntlet, and it discharges two green double lasers and the laser bolts both hit the cyborg in the chest which makes its insides all blow out from it's back and he has just a huge hole for a chest, then the cyborg goes down and is nothing but scrap. But they see several more of the Inferno Solders are coming along with Cyborg soldier into the store and are just simply firing up the place wildly without even having all three in their sights.

Candy, Talon, Venus, and Jupiter immediately see this and vacate the premises, the enemy soldiers advance but as they do, they see another rectangle fly in the air and land in front of the enemy soldiers and then suddenly detonate and they all fly in the air.

In the "Dragon's Tale Miniature Golf", there are a few of the Inferno soldiers that are patrolling the courses but then one of them comes in front of the pagoda and is suddenly gunned down as each of the windows show some gun discharge. He goes down and behind the windows there are some tiny toy robot figures that all are circular, have one arm which is a muzzle and another what looks like a toilet plunger, and a head that is circular with some extension sensor eye.

One of the other soldiers comes to another course which is pure gold with some miniature golden golfer figures to the side and even behind the hole, one of the golden miniature golfer figures behind the hole immediately moves and then hits the ball in from real hard which makes it the miniature replica ball go fast, this ball then shoots though the helmet of the Inferno Soldier.

The hole leaks out blood and then the soldier goes down. There are three other Inferno Soldiers that go in front of another course and this one is the Napoleonic War them as there are soldiers from both sides, suddenly the hear a drumming beat from one of the soldiers and then another soldier then sounds a trumpet and then most of the Napoleonic toy soldiers turn and aim their muzzles and canons as the three soldiers and just fire at will cutting all three of them down.

There is one other soldier and he comes to a course that is a miniature representation the interior of the space fortress from the arcade game "Zaxzon", as the carpet is colored grey and painted with some lines to look like a circuit board and runways, with several gray turrets, yellow poles that represent electric field rods, white and red tipped missiles that are pointed up, placed in places on the course to look like they launched from different areas, each of the missiles serve as pins for the course along with red circular fuel drums to be bumper obstacles. One of the missiles suddenly moves and points itself at the soldier and suddenly discharges at the soldier and hits him in the chest, it explodes making the soldier blow into pieces all over the area.

But suddenly there are several of the Inferno Scepter soldier in places that have spotted both Adam/Shadow Dancer and Mabel/Lighting Woman as they suddenly switched their helmets to thermo vision and see both who were hiding behind some pillars slightly next to the course, and they have their laser sights in their direction and start to discharge their guns. Both Shadow Dancer and Lighting Woman immediately run as the bullets start to chew through the pillars and they both jump down to the mini golf course and then dive to take cover on one of the mini golf models which is that of an old Western town, the cover is holding some of the bullets but not for long.

Lighting Woman looks at Adam and says, "We've got to get out of here or will be firewood."

Shadow Dancer is looking at Lighting Woman with surprise at the comment. Lighting Woman says, "Sorry bad pun."

But suddenly from one of the gunmen they receive an arrow on the back of the neck and he goes down. Mabel and Adam look and they see it's Michael whom is coming from a corner of cover and then he reloads his bow and gets another arrow and shoots it straight thought the helmet to the forehead of another gunman on his pathway and he goes down, Michael then reloads his bow and then shoots it far across which flies right over where Mabel and Adam have taken cover and goes straight toward the small group that was gunning them, the arrow imbeds itself on the chest Inferno Scepter soldier in the middle going thought the paramilitary like vest and then suddenly exploding blowing the middle guy apart and throwing the three other guys away.

Michael sees talks on his communicator to them and says, "Meet up with Zeus team in the Roller game rink."

Shadow Dancer says, "What about you?"

"I'll catch up, I'll need to buy us some time."

Both receive the communicate and they start to run ahead of Michael, but then suddenly there are a few other enemy soldiers, and they start to fire at both. Adam immediately takes out his ninja go and blocks some of the bullets coming both Mabel and his way. Mabel sees him and is about to help but Adam signals her to keep going, with reluctance Mabel she goes on ahead.

Michael he then takes out one of his arrows and looks at it, Michael says to himself, "Damn last one, thankfully I saved this one."

Michael then lets the arrow lose but the arrow goes up in an arc and lands near Adam. Adam knows this arrow and then starts to run once it detonates, the arrow it dispenses out a huge amount of smoke that covers the entire area in seconds. This disoriented the enemy soldiers while Adam makes his break along with Michael who now discards his empty bow bag and bow and arrow.

All three are running toward the roller rink, despite the other Inferno Scepter soldiers behind they still can see where there running to, and most are still on their tail. Wendy and Dipper can see Mabel, Shadow Dancer, and Michael on the monitors and then Wendy she then talks on the mike. "Zeus team stand by, Mabel, Adam and Michael are coming your way."

Mabel, Shadow Dancer and Michael fortunately are ahead far enough they go into the double doors of the "Roller games" rink and they bar it up just to buy a little more time to get to their positions. The Inferno Scepter group they catch up, one of the soldiers try to open the double doors but their locked, then several of the soldiers just take their positions and they point their guns and discharge bullets to break down the door. Once they do the entire group goes in but are disoriented when there is darkness.

Their helmets suddenly have a night vision mode on, and they are sweeping the dark area but then suddenly there are multiple-colored lights on the floor. The soldier is confused but then suddenly one of the soldiers receive a kick in the dark and goes down. One of the soldiers sees Shadow Dancer and the group start to point their guns at him. But suddenly they hear music which is the theme music from the game "Double Dragon Neon" version of the track "City Streets".

The soldiers hear roller blades and one of them whom is in a black ninja outfit with the bug-eyed mask, he has two small katana knives out and then ducks down as he's rolling their way and slashes at the leg of one of the soldiers and he goes down writhing in pain. Another is rolling down in what looks like a Sailor Outfit with a black skirt, she has two blades in her hand one on her left hand a small, short sword with a pole grip and a scathe blade on her right hand she rolls down their way and does a standing and ducking twirl motion with both blades going with the circular motion. The blades they make fast multiple horizontal cuts on some of the soldier, some of the blade penetrate across the neck, chest, and kneecaps. Two of the soldiers drop dead, while a few of them go on the ground in pain.

Several of the soldiers then lose it and shoot blindly in the skating rink hoping to hit whatever is coming their way. But this is a feudal tactic as another person on roller skates in a magenta costume then points her wrist remote and discharges four lighting bolts which hit the soldiers and course throughout their bodies, and they all go down spasming and getting knocked out from the blast.

And then some of the soldiers that are stunned, one of them gets hit hard when one ninja with silver visor eyes then swings with his rope and has both feet connect with the soldier chest. The soldier goes down and there are three others that are stunned but are starting to come out of it but too late when Shadow Dancer then jumps in the air and then executes a jump spinning right hook kick and his right foot connects with all of the soldiers face plates it breaks them exposing their faces and from their exposed faces, Dancer executes another right jump spinning hook kick and the foot connects to each of their faces and they all go down. After their done they once again evacuate to another area.
