Fro Ninja; What up beautiful people. The Fro Ninja is here with another bag of goodies.
Jester; What the hell Fro?! Isn't this supposed to be a collab?! I haven't written a chapter in over a good two months!
Fro Ninja; Jester...what did I say about coming out of the crypt without permission?
Jester; ….You shut up...
Fro Ninja; Anyhoo. Hows about we check out the comments left by you beautiful people?
The Book: As always my friend, you sum up the events of the story so good, sometimes I can't believe that I wrote the stuff. And like any good reader, you starting to look ahead of what's going to happen. Nice! As for what the Pure types are up to, I can't really go to in depth at the moment, but you can see them as your typical baddies.
LOL. How Karina spends her fun time is anyones guess, but I'll leave that to your imagination my friend. Most likely it involves carrots.
Fro Ninja; Now without further ado. Let the show begin!
Third Person POV
The sisters circled around their enemies with blinding speed and darting eyes that were perfectly in synch, almost giving off a passionate rhythm from the swinging of their weapons that rang true against the monster's flesh. Tessera cut a path straight through their formation with quick yet powerful slashes that came around in cycles and then in cycles once more. One single slash from her looked low in quantity, but was packed in excessive force going over fifty to a hundred times. Karina took slices from every single angle that came for several circles.
"Moving a bit slow for my taste lil' sis!" Tessera shouted out while delivering a horizontal to a creature to its mid-section with one blade, and giving a vertical slice to one a few feet away from her right.
"Shut the fuck up! I'm rusty okay?!" Karina hopped over three creatures, throwing knives on top of their heads while still in midair, then stopping her trajectory to slam down her scythe into one that was attempting to catch her in her jumping path. She moved with agile after dealing with one soundwave creature to the next, delivering cuts to a weak spot that lied between their neck and their spine. Though she just discovered it during the battle, she still had trouble delivering hits to it accurately, unlike her sister, who had experience taking them down. Karina took note of this and attempted to match her speed up with that of her sisters'. "Not gonna lose this by long shot!"
"Trying to bite off my shit now? That's disgraceful you know!"
"My compliments to eloquence Tess! It always in good taste to pay respects to where you got it from! Which is why Vader gets away with Doctor Doom!"
"Seriously?! You need to stop watching porn with the oculus rift. Your brain is burping and shitting at the same time."
"Don't hate!" Karina cuts down two more creatures coming her way.
" You wish!" Tessera cuts down five more creatures in her path.
For these sisters, this kind of banter was common in any processes that they do together. Fighting was no exception.
Soon one of the creatures started to charge up it's soundwave blast in order to hit Karina from her blindside while she fended off two more that appeared in front of her. Though she gave no reaction to it, she had full awareness of what was going on around her. Through her many battles that demanded her to constantly be alert from all directions at all times, she developed an omni-prescient awareness of her surroundings in a five meter radius. From her blindside, the blast came in flying, which she flawlessly deflected by spinning her scythe in the fashion of a fan. The blast curved up toward the ceiling, knocking down a light post that crashed on top of the one that launched the blast, crushing its skull in.
"Hah! Beat that shit!"
Tessera then leaped forward with her sword, sitting on the top of the handle as the blade went flying into the chest of the monster. She twisted the handle with her legs in a clockwise rotation, completely darting through its chest creating a gaping hole. After a few seconds, the sword dissipated into pure dust and a new sword formed into chamber holster on her back. She cocked the chamber and pulled out the sword and jumped off of the creature that she stabbed toward five more creatures behind her. Her sword swung in a circular motion cutting all of the heads of the creatures along the trajectory of her cutting path. One by one, the heads lopped offin a beautiful manner. After finishing, her current sword disappeared and a new one manifested in her chamber. Instantly, more creatures emerged from out of the ground and dashed straight for her. She grabbed her sword chamber that had been hanging from her side and cocked it instantaneously, firing six shots worth of blades towards her targets. They fell each in rows as her blades hit dead on target. Karina watched with a jealous grin. She had performed all of that in less than seven seconds without even breaking a sweat.
"Sorry lil' sis! Couldn't hear over all of the ass I'm kicking!" Tessera than relocated to a safe spot behind the bleachers. She signaled Karina who was blocking hits from every direction with her rifts. Seeing the signal, she quickly warped over to her sisters position and took cover beside her
"Show-off!"
"This coming from the vanishing Cryptic-type who fights a scythe and knives, and gets off while she fights?! I should feel honored!"
"For a Normie like yourself who does the same?! You should!"
"You seem pretty stressed! You haven't gotten any lately or something?!"
"My snatch gets PLENTY of action, thank you!"
"Yeah! From boys that haven't even dropped their balls yet!"
Karina's eyes shot open.
"You've been spying on me?! My security system's top knotch"
"Via satellite imagery of course! Don't forget who taught you all you know kid!"
"Not that shit again! Look, can we just clear these freaks out already before they tear down the gym?!"
"Wow, and here I thought I was doing all of the work! Nice to see you're pulling your own weight!"
"Oh, I love you, you patronizing skank!"
"Then let's get to it then!"
They both nodded to each other, and then kicked the side of the bleacher toward the crowds of soundwave creatures getting closer, knocking some back for several feet, and others got crushed by the oncoming force, with their blood and guts spilling everywhere. Even after nearly ten minutes of fighting what seemed like an endless supply of the monsters, Tessera seemed hardly tired, and Karina had just gotten her second wind.
"So you think these freaks are coming from underground?" Karina asked.
"Most likely. But I can tell you this much, whoever let them in the town this was, there is a shit ton of them still manifesting. This isn't even their habitat in the first place, so somebody must have let them in."
"Huey, Kote, and me took out one just a month a ago, this lizard guy had told us the same thing."
"Lizard guy? You mean Anthony?"
"You know him?! Sis, are you a-"
Several of the soundwave creatures began to line up next to each other in a row. Their arms started to collapse from their sockets and reattach themselves to the sockets of the one standing next to them. The frames around their body had melded together into a single frame, made of flesh and decayed bone. Sounds of cracking and sloshing echoed throughout the gymnasium as the creatures came together as one. It's original pink flesh had morphed into a more reddish tone with it's bodily frame had become more built and its eye sockets had several layers of spikes surrounding the corneas. It stood over a fifteen feet tall with a range reaching over a few yards. Karina's eyes crept upwards slowly, as the mega soundwave creature flew it's shadow over her and her sister. "Ahh, shitballs."
Tessera remained unphased by the sight of the transformed creature, staring it down with uninterested eyes, even more convincing as she scratched her head.
"Yeah, this happens when they come together and whatnot. I took out a few of things before, yadda yadda yadda, we gotta kill it and all that jazz."
"And just how the fuck are we supposed to that? You got a plan?"
She shrugs her shoulders.
"I dunno. I just usually hit it really hard until it dies."
"Works for me!"
With that, both sisters leapt forward into action toward the giant. Karina moved first by creating several rifts around her target and threw knives through each of them. They hit numerous spots on the monster, but none seemed to affect him in slightest. Noticing this, Tessera landed on the creatures body, where one of the knives had hit it, and drove it in even further into its flesh and started to carve a path around its body in a circular movement, and slashed her sword multiple times intersecting with the trajectory she created. The creature growled in frustration and threw on f its many arms to swipe her off. She jumped off just in time, and landed in the upper section of the gym. Karina slid ontop of one of the creatures arms, and launched herself off of it high into the air. She then came down with the bottom of her scythe hitting out one of the empty eye sockets of the creature. The creatures socket layers retracted for a brief second and grabbed into her scythe
"Let go you ugly piece of shit! That's an antique!" She attempted to pull out her scythe, but the monster held onto it with great strength. "Oh fuck this!" She then opened up a rift behind her position that ended up near the creature's right leg. She then jammed her fist through the portal that showed up on the other end of the rift impaling the leg with pure brute force. The monster screamed out in pain. "Yeah! You like that shit?! How about this?!" Karina concentrated her energy into the hand that had forcibly inserted itself into the legs flesh and opened up a huge rift inside. The rift had established a huge pulling force that sucked all of the parts of the legs structure, and eventually the leg itself. Within a a few seconds, the legs had been completely removed from the creatures body.
In the same moment, Tessera jumped up toward the ceiling, and arched over the creatures head.
"See how you like this!" She took out several frag grenades and threw them towards the body. As they landed, the started to drown into the behemoths skin. After only a millisecond, the grenades exploded inside of it, and its insides began to rupture and fall apart from both ends. In the middle of her arch, Tessera pushed her body down toward the creatures face pulling out her sword and taking a traditional stance in midair. Though it seems like she was not moving the sword, she had already swung the sword over ten times already toward the monsters head. She was swinging the sword so fast that only after images could barely be seen even by trained eyes. After 2 seconds, she had landed 15 cuts, with 3, 38 cuts, and finally after 5 seconds she landed 258 cuts in the monsters skull while still managing to stay in the air. In an instant, the top of the monsters head had completely vanished with being cut down to absolute size. With blood being splattered in every direction. Karina witnessed the whole thing unfold as she finally managed to pull out her scythe. However despite the earlier attack, the monster was still able to function, and started to charage up it's soundwave to fire at Tessera.
"Oh no fucking don't!"
Karina seeing her chance to strike a final blow, she once again pulled onto her scythe with even greater strength, finally managing to pull it out from its imprisonment. Using momentum created by her sister, ran up towards the monsters face with great speed by hiking with her blade into the the skin rapidly. Upon reaching the temple, she swung on the pole of her scythe and flipped into the air next to Tessera.
"Double whammy?!" Karina shouted out.
"With pleasure!"
Karina and Tessera both winded up their blades and brought it down on the creature's head, and carved straight through. They both went their separate ways along the carving path, and began cutting up the monster's flesh from each direction. One path led to two, while others led into four more. Pretty soon, both of their weapons ended up completely severing every single limb the beast had leaving only the bare essentials. Karina then slid to the abdomen and once again concentrated her rift energy in the palm of her hand and charged up her fists power as well.
"Hey sis! Watch this!" Her fist when crashing into the monster's abdomen making a hole in the middle of the flesh. Karina then felt a giant rift forming in her hand and the energy being displaced into a pulling motion, and then let go of it into it the monsters insides once again. She then quickly vaulted off of the monsters body and jumped behind one of the seats of the upper section. "You might wanna duck!" Taking her little sisters advice, Tessera hid behind the podium on the stage. Both braced themselves for the impact.
Within seconds, the monsters internal organs began to be ripped and pulled into a deep void that had no known destination. Soon its whole body began to fall suit with everything else being swept along with it. The monster shouted and agonized in pain as the very contents of its body began to pull away from him. Then in an instant, body had absolutely vanished into the rift and left not a trace behind. Seeing as how their strongest asset was defeated, the rest of the soundwave creatures quickly retreated back into the underground.
Karina slowly started to rise up from her cover, peeking to see that it was indeed a job well done.
" Fuck yes! That was so fucking awesome! I wasn't even sure that was gonna work!" She shouted in victory as she jumped down to the ground floor from her cover, and started to perform a victory dance that involved twerking.
Tessera, hearing the sound of her sister celebrating, walked out of her cover over to her and punched in the back of the head.
"OWWWWW! Tess, what the fuck?!"Karina shouted in anger with a face to match
"Good going kid! Why didn't you tell me you could do that earlier? Wait! Don't tell me...you did that shit on the spot?!
"You're damn right I did!"
"Well that's just fucking great! I always thought you would be a weak little shit forever! Haahaha! My lil' sis is growing up!"
Karina started to rub her head.
"Nice to have your 'affection' after all of these years" She pouted.
"You're telling me! I was a bit worried when Mary said you got put on a team of all things. Sheesh, it hasn't even been two years since that op. Hahaha...that Fisk! What the hell is he thinking putting you of all people on a team. With two guys no less! That's just friggin hilarious!" Tessera let a huge cry of laughter that rang around all corners of the gym.
"That's exactly what I said! I always thought of myself as more of the lone wolf type ya know?"
Tessera chuckled loudly.
"Lone wolf?! You're more like the retarded bear that shits in the woods!"
"Really?! You said I was a llama that pukes itself before! I guess I am making progress huh?"
"You sure are Karrie." Tessera patted Karina on the head. "You sure did a lot of growing while I've been away. I bet your bush is WAY thicker now!"
Karina giggled with joy.
For the first time in over three years, the Zaldwick sisters had been reunited.
A few minutes later
Tessera had her shoulders crossed in seriousness.
"So that's the situation, huh?" She asked.
"Ehhh, more or less. Huey was evacuating the citizens last time I was him, but that was over ten minutes ago. Hopefully he hasn't been killed. Or raped. Or killed AND raped."
"Well, I kind of got the gist of everything when I was coming over here, but the signal I got was kind of screwy with its messaging."
"Signal? Did Fisk send you something?"
"Nope. The sender was anonymous but the relay was coming from somewhere in this town. And from what I heard, Fisk has been out of this town for a few days now. And I just picked up that message a few weeks ago. The message had said something about a soundwave creature invasion coming to a small town in the Appalachia mountain range near New York. As soon I could, I grabbed a little duffle bag and zoomed over here."
"Zoomed over? From where?"
"Cambodia."
"No fucking way?! You swam all the way here?! That's so badass!"
"I know right?! I even beat my record! Anyway, we were orignally gonna make a plan to try and set up a counter measure around the town to make sure that not a lot would happen, but by the looks of the town..." Tessera and Karina looked at the town through the gaping hole near the east side of the gym. The town had looked like a warzone, with creatures running rampid throughout the streets and killing every innocent life that they came into contact with. It didn't long for blood to completely fill the streets. "...that might be a little too late now."
Karina eyes lit up with realization.
"Wait a second...You just said 'we'. Who the hell are you talking about?"
"I'll tell you in a little bit, but first we have a visitor."
Karina gasped and looked around the gym frantically. Trying to spot the supposed intruder, but returned with nothing.
"I don't see any-"
"Karrie, look out!"
From out of nowhere, a sword came zooming in toward the sisters. Tessera swiftly dodged it, while Karina barely made it by the skin of her teeth. At the end of the blade was a dark figure that moved around so fast that they could barely keep up with it. Soon the figure made its back for another attempt to hit the two, which they were somehow manage to dodge.
The blade had stuck in the ground a few feet away from them. The figure than appeared on top of the swords hilt. The figure was hooded with a quiet disposition.
"Nice sneak attack! Makes me almost think you suck at directly fighting a person!" Tessera shouted out. The figure didn't respond. "What the hell? First thing you do is try to kill me and my little sister, then give us the cold shoulder? God, a serial killer has better manners than you."
Karina giggled. "Hehehe...nice one."
The hooded figure stood up from on top of the sword, and then revealed their face. A black cat with soul green eyes with a pink highlight of her jet black hair. She had a sullen look on her face as she eyed the two down.
"So you show...Just as he said you would. You're an even bigger fool than I thought."
"Uhhh, come again? We couldn't hear over all of that shallowness on your face." Karina darted at Zana with confidence. Tessera blocked her mouth closed.
"Karrie shut up. The grown ups are talking."
She then walked a little bit towards her with no fear in her step.
"So. I take it someone told you I was coming huh? Did they give anything else worth noting. Like my breast size, favorite thing to eat, my breast size, my favorite song to sing in the shower...my breast size?"
"We get it, you have big tits!" Karina shouted out.
Zana scoffed in disappointment.
"You are nothing like what I expected you to be. It seems that man places you in high regard."
"By that man, might you be referring to Harmon Jones?"
Zana lit up a little in shock.
"How do you figure that?"
"I have a hunch. But nothing I'm willing to share with your deadpan ass."
"No matter. You'll be dead soon enough. Just like that pathetic lizard friend of yours."
Tessera sighed and closed her eyes in relief. But her voice had a tone of somberness.
"So...Furball was right. Anthony really is dead. That's a shame. He finally got his life back on track after all of these years. Now he's dead huh?" She opened her eyes. "And you killed him, correct?"
"That's right." Zana said with no hesitation in her voice.
"That's good." She said in a calm voice. "I was worried that I would have to tear through cities trying to look for you. Gotta thank Harmon for making my job easier."
Tessera withdrew her sword from her holster chamber, and cocked it six times for six swords to manifest. She then took out an M1 rifle out of her bag, and cocked full of ammo, and readied her stance.
"Karina, you mind?" Tessera spoke to Karina who had been surprisingly quiet during the whole conversation. She then walked up beside her sister with her knives and scythe already in hand, along with tears running down her eyes. She looked at her little sister with a content face as her expression was that of silent rage
"You don't even have to fucking ask..." She spoke with a direct tone, with nary an pint of sarcasm in her voice. She was dead serious.
"Thanks kid. He'd be proud." Tessera looked back on Zana, and saw her ready herself as well. "Say missy. Curious. What's your name?"
"Zana Abiel. Why?"
"Oh, no reason. Just making sure I know what to carve on your face when I give it to Harmon..."
Part IV of Trexwell Arc END.
