CHAPTER 4 The Legacy of Aven and Ultra By Solar II

On Ragol...

"My baby was hot, da daaa da da, yet she was so cold, da daaa da da, after I spent my money, da daaa da da, she left me for gold!" "SHUT THE %@$# UP!!!!!" Aven slapped the back of Ultra's head, making him drop his harmonica into the dirty waters that surrounded them. "Hey!" The ranger protested, "Don't blame me if you don't like music..." "I like music," The force replied, "Just not bad music." The two hunters sat on the edge of the moving "boat", and talked amongst themselves. By this underground river was the only way to get anywhere, so they tried going to the right, after coming through the door. Aven had cut the wire, and they were off, at very high speed. Apparently, the wire wasn't there to hold the ship; it was just an electrical wire that was programmed to activate the ship when it was cut. "This is perfect," The tall warrior moaned out load to this whole tunnel they were in. "No we have nothing to fricken' do on this Joy Ride!" "Shh!" "Waz yawl problem?" "Just shut up," Aven glanced around inconspicuously. "I think I hear something..." Suddenly, Ultra became very mature. He slowly lifted his guns off the ground, and whispered with a frown, "What is it? Where is it?" "I'm not sure..." Out of the blue, or green to be more specific, came a giant monster. It flopped up on the ship about a foot away from the hunters, and roared with furious intensity. "HOLY COW!!!" They both jumped back into their battle positions, and surveyed the demon more carefully. It seemed to be a humungous caterpillar, about the size of a pleasure train. It wore titanium plates on its back sections, and had a huge mutant skull mask on its head. There were also a couple weird yellow blades that stuck out of the back of its cranium and swayed in the wind as if they were merely blades of grass... but Ultra had the feeling that those weren't as innocent as they seemed, and decided to stand back even further down the ships. Meanwhile, Phoenix readied his Baton and then spun it high in the air. "GiFoie!!" he shouted with confidence, yet fear, and unleashed a spinning orb of burning pain onto the monster. It struck on all of the front part of De Rol Le's body, and forced him to retreat back into the sewer-like river. The demon-train swan like a crocodile alongside of the metal boat, making offensive gestures with its yellow grass blades. Ultra suddenly got pissed, and ran to the edge, charging his Mech's to their limit. "Take this mother %@$#*&!!" He dump-cliped the thing straight in the face. The skull mask cracked, and then completely shattered with the final massive blow by the rangers Photon bullets. Then, De Rol Le got angry. He leaped over the ship, and landed on the other side, causing the hunters to loose their balance and fall down. Then, the shock wave on the water form Le's landing rocked the little aqua-transport to its limit, and it began to flip. Phoenix quickly got up, and jumped on the narrow tip of the edge, which was now completely vertical. Aven looked down for his partner, only to see a giant metal plat in his way... crap, it was the monster!! Aven couldn't think straight as he jumped swiftly onto the opposite, slimy side of the boat as it flipped over all the way. His boots slipped a bit, but he soon regained balance, and began to yell to no one in particular, "What did you do to Alex!?" As if an answer to his call, the force heard a familiar voice come from the caterpillars general direction, "Don't call me Alex, you unic bastard!!" In awe, Phoenix found Ultra to be upon De Rol Le's back, riding him-err, it like a horse. "Ye-haw, you %&$#*!!" Were the last words that crossed the purple haired man's lips before he completely filled the tunnel with sounds of gun-fire. Alex was dumping all of his remaining ammo into Le's face. "GGGGUUUUUAAARRRRGG!!!!!!!" The most horrific and painful noise echoed though Phoenix's ears as Le flipped up his tail and knocked Ultra off of himself, and back onto the boat. Surprisingly, Ultra did not let go of either of his guns, or one of Le's yellow blades! It lay limp in his gory hand. "Ha ha," the wearily ranger winked, "Guess he won't be using this one anymore." Phoenix used the last of his TP with the spell, "Resta!" Both hunters stood tall and ready once more, but now they weren't so prepared. Aven was low of mana, and Ulysses was out of ammo. "Ale- I mean, Ultra! Guard me as I drink a Difluid!" "But... I'm out of ammo..." "Just do it!" For an instant, the ranger considered fighting off De Rol Le with his fist, but quickly shook his head. He glanced over to the monster, swimming along side the boat. He looked ready to attack again, although badly injured, so he would have to think of something, and fast. Not to his surprise, Ultra had forgotten to bring an extra clip. So (once he did that often, the silly goose) always had a back-up plan. He whipped out a giant sword from his belt and swung it around a bit. "Meet my friend, De Rol Le... his name is Mr. Pain!!" Ultra lunged out to the edge of the moving platform, and just cliped the side of the giant demon. It shrieked again, and suddenly lifted its tail. Large black spikes shot forth like cannon balls at the ship, but to his surprised, didn't hit Ultra. They just circled around him, playfully twinkling at him with every... spike. The tall man snapped out of his head- injury-induced trace and swung his sword multiple times at the spinning bombs of death. He destroyed two, but one exploded on his back, sending him sliding on the slimy green tile floor. Ultra was K.O.ed. "No!" Screamed Aven as he threw the empty bottle of (until recently) Difluid on the ground, shattering it. "You're mine now!" As if to dare the young hunter, Rol Le leaped up on deck once more, attacking with its huge yellow blades. Phoenix avoided one, but got stabbed in the back by another. He yelped in agony, but soon regained his will to defeat this monster, and unleashed his ultimate spell. "GRANTS!!!" With a giant flash of light, the evil monster known only as De Rol Le to government officials was dead, its head was replaced by spurting black blood, and its limp, lifeless body fell to its eternal grave at the bottom of the green river. Pieces of brain and yellow-blade flew past Phoenix's face, just barely missing him, and just barley missing his "beautiful" hair. The force found it hard to believe that the fight was over, and just stood there like an idiot for a few minutes, still in his spell-firing position. He glanced around, and finally loosened up a bit, just enough to go over to Ultra and kick him in the chest. "Dude, are you all right?" No movement. No answer. Aven sighed, and bent down to pick his friend up.
