Chapter 10: Combat
Holly and Achika watched as Garrone picked up his fist. He slammed it back down so hard, that pieces of the ceiling began to fall. Achika dodged the pieces easily, but Holly did not have the agility that Achika did. She got hit in the head by a clump of dirt and felt dizzy from the shocking pain. She pulled out her father's talisman that she never let go of. She needed to learn to protect herself.
"Show respect little pitiful humans! You stand before the mighty and powerful Garrone of the sea!" yelled the tiny evil hare that was always with him.
Achika glared at them and skated to Holly's side.
"You all right?"
"As close as I can be. That really hurt. Why is Garrone here?"
"They must be after all of us. Come on. We can do this," Achika muttered as she helped up Holly.
'Yeah, us and what army,' Holly thought as Garrone punched a crater into the ground.
Achika and Holly dodged the fist and landed in separate directions.
Achika suddenly ran forward and punched Garrone's arm. She felt all her fingers crack all at once. She could've sworn that one of them at least broke.
"OW!" she screamed as her face contorted into pain. Achika jumped away and skated to the other side to pick up Holly. She grabbed Holly by the waist and threw her over her shoulder. She skated pass Garrone and then tripped over an unforeseen clump of dirt. The girls flew into the air and landed hard, sprawling across the floor.
Garrone smiled wickedly and pulled back his fist.
'This is one hell of a way to go,' Achika thought bitterly as she realized she just didn't have the strength to even sit up. The activities of the day were catching up to her.
'Not like this,' was the thought that stabbed into Holly's brain. She lifted the dagger and prepared to try to stab the oncoming fist. Achika looked away, not wanting to see her doom. She waited patiently for her life to end. After about a minute of waiting on the ground, Achika ventured to open an eye. Garrone stood perfectly still, stuck in the pose he had taken.
Achika looked around carefully and found Holly standing in front of the giant with her dagger sticking in Garrone's knee. That wasn't what had stopped the half Golem though. It was the Gray Wolf horn in his throat. Somehow, Lord Ginta had gotten into the Main Hall.
Lord Ginta leaped away and landed next to Achika.
"You humans are way too much trouble."
"Yeah, I love you too," Achika replied, sarcasm dripping from her lips as they watched Garrone.
Holly pulled out her dagger and jumped back. She accidentally bumped into someone. She did a double take once she realized who it was. She wrapped an arm around the evil hare's throat and held him close.
"Achika!"
The human and Tiger looked over and realized what she was planning.
"Should I?"
Lord Ginta nodded at the young human who then skated away. The old grizzled Gray Wolf would be able to take on Garrone.
Lord Ginta turned and faced the giant. Garrone roared in response to the gesture.
"How dare you try to attack the Great Den of the Free Tigers? I will make you pay," Lord Ginta said very coldly. His beady blue eye glared at Garrone, making the old veteran of battle look more intimidating then usual.
"You dare to face me in combat Lord Ginta? I am a lot stronger then when I last fought you."
Lord Ginta smiled cruelly, "So am I."
Garrone roared and then put his fist forward. "Mega Arm Blast!"
The Moo hybrid's fist came a part from his arms. They flew towards Lord Ginta with amazing speed and accuracy. Lord Ginta waited patiently for the flying fists. He jumped upwards as the fists crashed into the ground. The fists shot wildly upward as Lord Ginta charged his horns. The unusual green energy cackled crazily, like a witch on crack.
"Ray of Death," he said simply as the energy shot forth. It snaked forward, racing through the air like a green hydra. The great wave of energy struck Garrone square in the chest. The Golem feel to one knee and glared up at Lord Ginta.
Lord Ginta landed safely on the ground two seconds later, went back into the air as Garrone's fists returned to him. Garrone punched into the air, where he had expected Lord Ginta to be.
Lord Ginta found himself flat on the ground. He was not use to pain. In his old age, Lord Ginta did not have to fight as much as he used to.
"Get up. Son of Galfo and Fidora. Get up and face me," Garrone rumbled, walking towards him.
Lord Ginta looked up and growled. He hated all these arrogant youngsters.
A roar from the left caught Garrone off guard. The rush of wind smashed into his side. It wasn't really an attack as much as a diversion.
Lord Youji stood in front of Lord Ginta and Lady Ariana stood to the left of Garrone. She had provided the much needed distraction.
"You young ones. I remember when you were still just blind whelps. Leave now. This is my battle," Lord Ginta said with a ghost of a smile. Lord Youji just glared back at him.
"Lightening!" Lady Ariana shouted, her answer to Lord Ginta's statement. The blue electricity escaped the safety of her horns and raced towards Garrone. Garrone smashed his fist into the ground. The wall of earth that was created by this action canceled out the blue energy.
"Dammit," Lord Youji muttered, going through the different attacks he learned through his head.
"Cold Bullet!" he shouted as another yell of Lightening came from Lady Ariana. Garrone could not dodge and block the attacks at the same time. He was too slow for that. The rock monster roared and thrust his fist into the earth. The lightening was blocked, but the ball of ice flew straight into Garrone's face. He flew backwards and hit the ground hard. The unconscious monster stayed on the ground.
"You have to turn him into a lost disk!" Holly shouted as she paused from punching out the evil hare. The dazed expression on his face showed that the two human girls had been doing their job well.
"Why?" Lady Ariana asked.
"You wanna know why? Cuz he'll come back ten times stronger and meaner if we don't," Achika said glaring. Lord Youji shrunk back form her and walked up to Garrone.
He looked down at Garrone and realized he could not bring himself to "kill" him. A bolt of green energy streaked pass Lord Youji and smashed into Garrone. Lord Youji watched in horror as Garrone glowed red and then changed into a disk wrapped up in roots. Lord Youji turned and glared at Lord Ginta.
"Why the hell did you do that? We won the battle!" Lord Youji yelled. His voice echoed in the silence that was the Main Hall. Holly, Achika, and Lady Ariana cringed away. There was nothing more frightening then an angry Terror Dog.
Lord Ginta stood on only his two front legs. His body was twisted in such a way that seemed impossible.
"A monster like Garrone does not know the meaning of battle. He does not see his lost as a lost. He sees it as a battle that is unfinished. If we had let him go, he would have come back just to kill everyone and he would be a lot stronger to boot. It is better this way, at least while this world is still infected by Golbez's presence. Come. We must see how the others have fared," Lord Ginta stated in a monotonous tone. He got up and started to trot pass a confused Lady Ariana.
