Kamen Rider Forge Remnant
Craft 15: The Cliff Face battle Pt 2
We are Taiso
I run towards the Smasher, it responds by throwing it's accordion fist at me. Leaning back and ducking under the fists as they fly overhead, I continue running towards the Smasher. The Smasher brings its arms back to grab me again, I jump up over the hands and swing down cutting the arms off the Smasher, but something slithery flies out and grabs the cut off appendages and brings them together again. Where is this thing?! I continue to slice up its body to try and each time, find this mysterious creature pulling and holding the Smasher together. The hell?! The Smasher uppercuts me, sending me flying back and sliding across the ground.
Forge:(sitting up) Uh… Argh… Where is this thing?
Hooded man:(kneeling down, resting head on hands) Oh, do keep trying, I so do love a good game of Operation!
Forge:(jumps back) Ugh!...(glances at head) Then… Maybe… Here!
Rushing in, I swing my blade across the Smasher's head, the head splits open as I see an eye peeking out from inside the body. Ah ha!- The eye quickly moves to a different section of the body. Shit! A hand grabs me and flings me down to the ground, my body is dragged across the ground as I'm pushed through dirt, rocks, stones, and finally another pillar that my back slammed into. Smasher retracts its arm back into its body, as I try to keep myself from screaming out in pain. "Oooh~ So close! Just keep trying!" The Hooded man mocks me.
Forge:(groans) I liked it better when you were silent…
Hooded Man:(holds up a finger) Oh, one second. For Fortuna's place, there inside the temple!
An explosion off in the cliff pulls my attention to the blast zone. I see a blade winged Grimm crash into the cliff face. "I-Is that… Where are the other Riders?" I muttered pushing off the pillar up to my feet. "*Roar~*" My attention is pulled back to the Ravage Smasher jumping off atop the pillar step and onto the ground slowly approaching me. Nevermind that I guess… I need to find a way to pin that eyeball thing! Producing another blade into my hand I ready for combat once again.
We are Artoria
4 blades fly though the air, as hardened steel clashes and bounces off. Yagyu and I push forwards swinging our blades and putting the Zashi on the back foot- or… Is it a wing? Oh, forget it. "Arthur, Shield bash!" Yagyu exclaims, I move in front of Yagyu as I bring my shield up and bash the Zashi up into the air. Yagyu jumps up from behind me, her hand on the grip of her blade. As Yagyu begins to pull her blade, the Zashi also raises it's arm to swing at Yagyu, only to instead pull the entire sheath off her belt and change it into Rifle mode. Yagyu points the rifle right at Zashi's head and shoots, the first shot hits the Zashi right in the head, Zashi then uses its wing blades to block following bullets. "*Kraaw~!*" The Zashi screeches moving aside it's wings, it screams being strong enough to push us back, then flapping its wings at us again, the Cast Grimm launches smaller knives out from between the larger blades making up the Zashi's wings.
Arthur:(raises shield) Yagyu, behind me now!
Yagyu:(deflecting knives) M-Moving!(looks behind) Arthur! Hold still!
Arthur:(Struggling) W-Whatever you have planned, p-please do it quick!
A sheath is placed on my right shoulder as the barrel sticks out of the bottom. "Just stand still!" Yagyu said taking aim and shooting. The Zashi stops it's attack and covers itself using the wings to block the bullets. "Arthur, keep pushing it back with that lance, Ron… something." Yagyu said, taking her rifle off my shoulder and continuing to suppress the Zashi. "It's… Rhongomyniad" I muttered, using the flat side of my sword I knocked off the knives on the shield before changing it into lance mode. Focusing energy into the dust as it glows, becoming brighter and brighter.
Yagyu:(removes Magazine from hilt) Arthur!(inserts new Mag) Hurry, I don't have many magazines left!
Arthur:(lance glows brighter) Just a little longer. Space out your shots!
Yagyu:(shooting in bursts) I got it, I'll try and leave an opening for you to attack.
The Lance's light becomes bright enough, Arthur slides her feet back as a band of light wraps around the tip of the lance and forms the tip. "Rhongo~Myniad~!" I scream, blasting a spear of light through Grimm Zashi's wings, the wings hold the spear for just a moment before they are torn asunder. The Cast Grimm no without its wings falls to the ground, it takes a moment to look at it's tattered wings without any of it's blades even hanging on. "Now for the body." I said catching my breath. Zashi looks at its tattered wings, the wings begin to convulse and shake as what looks like digits and claws grow from the wings themselves.
Yagyu:(draws blade) Don't let get the chance to pull a fast one on us!
Arthur:(charges) Right. Haaaa~!
Zashi:(lifts blades up) *Skraaw~!*
Yagyu swings her blade as I thrust my lance at the Zashi. The Cast Grimm blocks with both of it's blades in its main hands. Then the wings on the Zashi's back stretches out past us, grabbing us by the back of the neck and flinging us up and over its body. Swinging its body around, the Zashi slashes us across our chest sending us into the roof. Peeling off the roof, we smash into the ground with a loud thud, our bodies cracking the very ground beneath us. "Th-Those… Wings… Became hands?" Yagyu mutters trying to push off the ground. The Zashi walks over to the remains of its former wings, picking up two more blades with it's extra arms, it turns back to us with four blades at the ready.
We are Leo
The Stalker blasts through the last block of rubble. Slowly walking through the Stalker keeps it's barrels pointed out looking for us. "Now!" I shout jumping off the rubble, using the thrust from my shield to ram into the Stalker pushing him into the wall. "Go for his limbs!" I shout, swinging my blade overhead, I slice off the Stalker's left arm, only for the Stalker's tail to slap me away. "Guooah!" I grunt falling to the ground. "Try this!" Shahryar shouted, shooting from one hand and raising his blade over his head with his other hand, then swinging it down, only for it to hit near the neck.
Shahryar:(tch!) I missed it!(points shotgun at Stalker head) Well, at least you're head goes-
Stalker: Kamen Riders… Daio!(opens mouth)
Shahryar:(tilts head) Huh?(barrel comes out)... You've got to be kidding me-(blasted) Bluogh!
I watch as Shahryar is thrown back by the Stalker and smashes into the ground. Gazing at the Stalker's head I see a large barrel protruding out of the Cast Grimm's mouth. "What… Kind of Head Cannon nonsense is this?!" I exclaim as the barrel faces me and opens fire. Jumping to my feet I rush towards Shahryar keeping my shield up the entire way. Moving in front of Shahryar I cover him as I hold off the gun fire.
Leonidas:(switches blade to rifle) Shahryar! Can you stand!?
Shahryar:(picking self up) Y-Yeah, just… Give me a sec…
Leonidas:(taking aim) Do hurry, I don't like being held down like this!
While the Stalker is still shooting at me, I see it using its tail to pick up the severed arm. What is it planning on? Bringing the arm over to the right arm, the snipper on the arms open and create a slot for the gun's to connect. No you don't! Beginning to shoot at the Stalker to try and shoot out the arm, but I am unable to stop the two arms combining into one along with the tail. "Uh… Okay, I'm back, what I miss- Oh, fuck off." Shahryar mutters as the tail and both arms transform into a triple barreled cannon.
Shahryar:(sweatdrop) I know this is supposed to be our job and all that but…(turns to Leonidas) You have to agree this is just getting ridiculous at this point…
Leonidas:(standing up) Y-Yeah… But, Run!
We are Taiso
Ducking behind a pillar I take a breath. Damn! I can't seem to find an opening… What do I do… Okay, come on, Think! Okay, so the gaps between the armor is my opening but anything I cut will just be pulled back together by that eye thing… I need to pin it down somehow… Thinking back on the armor, I begin to rush with ideas on how to defeat the Smasher Cast Grimm. I need to limit the areas it can hide in… But it's so hard to, Melee with that Cast Grimm is so much harder thanks to those stretchy arms… Wait…
Forge:(light bulb) *Gasp!* The Stretchy arms!(fist breaks though pillar) Whaah!
Hooded Man:(scratches back of head) You know, hide and seek is not the aim of the game you know?
Forge:(runs out) It's not hide in seek anymore! This game ends here!
Hooded man:(smiles) Ooh, looks like we might have a winner soon here folks!
Smacking my fists together my gauntlet forge begins firing at all cylinders. "Flame is my blood and it's boling for yours!" I exclaimed, pulling my hands back. I pull blade handles out from my hands, blades extend out as I toss the blades into the Smasher. Producing blade after blade, I keep throwing them into the Smasher as it just takes the blades as it walks towards me. All the while walking back to make distance.
Hooded man:(sighs) I thought we had a winner, but looks like we only have a bit of human bravado… How disappointing.(snaps fingers) Finish him.
Forge:(chuckles) That's right… Come on, just… A bit more…
The Smasher then launches both of it's arms at me. Now! Dodging to the right, the right hand fist slams into the pillar next to me. Quickly producing a blade I stabbed it into the hand and into the pillar to pin the hand. The left hand fist comes straight at me, dodging the fist I repeat the attack to pin both hands to the pillar. "?" The Smasher tries to pull its hands out of the pillars to no avail. Now! I stamp my foot on the ground, sending a blade though the ground and into the feet of the Smasher, the gaps between the body are stretched out and covered in bladed steel, traveling from the feet up I watch a red eye quickly move to a safer area on the right arm.
Forge:(grabs Smasher right arm) Nowhere to run now!
The right arm is covered in the same steel trapping the eye in place. Producing one last blade I charge up to the eye and cut it in half. Now for the body! Dropping my blade I charge straight towards the Smasher's body. Reaching down to my belt I bring the hammer down. "Hammer Fall!" Jumping up into the air I flip and drop down in a kick, smashing straight though the Grimm Smasher and causing it to explode. Falling to my knees I let out a sigh as the Gauntlet mold landed on the ground beside me, pushing myself up I picked up the mold and turned to the Hooded man. "Well… How's that?!" I shout catching my breath.
Hooded man:(clapping) Bravo, Bravo. You do know how to put on a show. I was surprised, but I hope you haven't forgotten about everyone else?
Forge: Huh?(turns to bridge) Crap! The others-(collapse to his knees) Argh… Used… Too much…
Hooded man: *tisk tisk* What a shame. Looks like you'll have to just sit this one out.(smiles) Let's see how they all die individually then huh?!
Forge:(trying to get up) Need to… Help… Agh… Used too much… Aura.
I push myself up to my feet as I slowly walk back towards the fight happening over by the ridge. Man, are my Future fights going to be this tough? Shaking off the thought
