(Hmm... Well, it's just Jet and Haruko now... I bet my chocolate- chip cookies
on Haruko!)
The Demon Lord, Haruko- Chapter Six; Part Two
Jet could fell himself growing tired. It was as if his energy was slowly being drained. He doubted it was Haruko, just some after affect.
But it did not matter. He knew very well that even if he was at full strength, Haruko could still easily pick him apart.
Haruko stepped up. "Actually Mr. Enduro, I really must thank you. You were so intrigued by that mask that followed everything I said. And then, you and your friend generously hand me that enormous amount of energy. Really, thank you."
Jet gritted his teeth. "I don't care for your thanks. Besides, you're not going to get a 'your welcome'."
Haruko laughed. "Yes, I know. I just wanted to take it off my mind."
Jet then readied his ARMs and shot. Haruko smiled and disappeared, reappearing next to one of the pillars. Jet followed him and continued to shoot. Haruko repeatedly disappeared, avoiding all of the shots. He then reappeared behind Jet. "Behind you."
Jet turned, only to be hit right in the face with the shock- wave attack that Haruko used on Gallows. He flew a few feet, landing on the cold marble.
Jet slowly stood up, the immobilizing effects of the attack seemed non- effective.
Haruko smiled. "Well, it seems the effect of the attack didn't work. That fine, actually better, but I wonder why? Humans are usually paralyzed in one blow."
Jet readied his ARMs once again and winced. "Sorry, but I'm not completely human, actually, in a way, I'm not. I'm a machine, an experiment."
Haruko frowned. "A machine? How very interesting, but it's strange. How could a machine experience the feeling of fear, which is exactly what I'm sensing from you, yes, you're frightened of me Mr. Enduro? Do not feel ashamed, I completely understand the reason. Besides, you're fighting an ancient demon with powers you've never seen."
Jet gritted his teeth. "What are you trying to say? I'm not all machine. Maybe I'm not, but I don't care right now. All that's on my mind is surviving."
Haruko smiled. "Understandable. So, let's see the extent of your skills."
Haruko jumped high in the air. Jet was about to fire at him, when he felt the floor shake beneath him. He looked down and jumped back, barely avoiding a huge beam of dark energy. Another one sprouted, causing Jet to dodge. Just as he was about to fire, Haruko appeared behind him and grasped Jet's face.
He then forced Jet into the ground, causing a large shock- wave. Haruko pressed on Jet, forcing him to stay in place. Jet gritted his teeth and grasped his ARMs. "Get off!" he yelled as he shot Haruko right in the face.
Haruko staggered back, grasping his face. Jet jumped up and used his Inspire Arcana. The bolts of lightning struck Haruko, causing a small explosion.
Jet took the time to try and recuperate. However, he got no time as Haruko stepped from the smoke. "Now Mr. Enduro, allow me to demonstrate the correct way to perform it."
Haruko held out his hand, a small black fire appearing in it. Suddenly, a one huge bolt of black lightning struck Jet. He shouted in pain as the bolt dissipated. The blow caused Jet to fall to his knees.
Haruko walked forwards. "Do you understand Mr. Enduro. Can a machine truly feel pain and suffering? I doubt it. You know, there once existed beings quite like yourself." Haruko kneeled down next to Jet. "These beings were called Elws. They were not human, but very close to it. Unfortunately, they became extinct, mainly because of the war."
Jet quickly stood up and fired. Haruko smirked and quickly disappeared and reappeared behind Jet. Jet turned and shot, but Haruko side- stepped and used the shock- wave technique. The impact attack sent Jet crashing through one of the pillars.
He landed on the ground, barely able to stand up. Haruko walked over to him and grabbed him by the throat.
"Well Mr. Enduro, I have to say, you think about more than you want." Jet gritted his teeth. "Took another look into my head?" Haruko slowly shook his head. "No. It was when I spoke to you in the cavern. In truth, I doubt you really understand even yourself."
Jet pointed his ARMs at Haruko and pulled the trigger. Haruko plainly stared at Jet. "It seems you're out of bullets."
Jet threw the gun aside. Haruko dropped Jet on the floor and held his hand in front of his face. "Goodbye, Mr. Enduro."
Jet did not flinch. He was prepared to face death, even if he was frightened of it.
Suddenly, a gunshot was heard. Haruko stared at the small hole in his stomach. "Hmm, it I cannot heal. I guess I exerted too much energy while toying with these imbeciles," he thought.
Haruko smiled. "Well, Mr. Enduro, I presume we shall meet again."
Haruko slowly walked back and disappeared.
"Jet!" Virginia yelled as she ran over to him. He slowly stood up, turning to face his comrade.
Clive helped Gallows stand. "I guess that guy got away." Clive looked at him. "Who exactly are you speaking of?" Gallows sighed. "A demon, the last of them."
(Darn, well I guess Haruko escaped. Don't worry, he'll be back.)
