The Demon Lord, Haruko- Chapter Eleven
Jet stood still. He gripped his ARMs tightly. In a sense, he was afraid of the demon that stood before him. He was almost killed last time they met, and he was not sure whether he would make this time. Besides, the girl kneeling down behind him had saved him. If she could not fight, he would be forced to fight alone.
"What're you doing here?" Jet asked calmly. Haruko smiled. "I presume we're both here for the same reason."
Jet winced. "Why do you want that gem?" Haruko closed his eyes. "Now Mr. Enduro, haven't we been through this? Why spoil the fun?"
Jet gritted his teeth. "Sorry, I don't have time for your games right now."
He fired his ARMs. Haruko simply held out his hand. The bullets stopped before they even hit him. Haruko waved his hand downward, the bullets falling to the ground.
"You're going to have to try much harder than that Mr. Enduro," Haruko stated as he placed both of his hands in his coat pockets.
Jet looked back at Virginia. "If he can stop my bullets, what chance is there?" he thought.
"I hope Ginny's okay," Gallows mumbled as he leaned against the wall. Morgan touched the opposite wall. "If my theory's correct, we should be able to break through this wall." He turned to Gallows. "Shield your eyes. It's going to be very bright."
Morgan took out the shard of the gem and held it in his hand tightly. Gallows watched as Morgan seemed to be concentrating very hard. Suddenly, a bright flash of light occurred as the gem began to transform into a sword. Soon, the light faded, leaving the gleaming sword in Morgan'' hand.
Gallows looked in shock. "How'd that gem turn into a sword?" Morgan looked at the blade. "My theory was correct. The gem can take the form of whatever the wielder wants it to."
Morgan looked up. "Yet, it's the only object we have to destroy this wall," he announced as he held the sword in both hands and swung it. The sword cut a clean slash through the wall, allowing it to fall to the floor.
Morgan looked at Gallows. "Come on. I don't know whether or not there will be more tremors."
Gallows nodded and followed Morgan as they ran through the open door.
Todd landed on the ridge and began to walk across the bridge. The bridge seemed crack, as if a quake had occurred just recently. The entrance seemed fine, with only a few cracks and rocks.
Todd ducked and went into the ruin.
Haruko held the gem shard in his hand. "You know Mr. Enduro, I had no idea you would come for this. However, now that I know, I have a very clear idea of why you want it. I have to say though, I doubt it would actually work."
Jet reloaded his ARMs. "It doesn't matter what you say. We're still getting the gem."
Haruko chuckled. "Oh really, then catch." Haruko threw the shard to Jet, who snatched it.
Haruko smirked. "I'm quite curious. Use it. Use it to kill me."
Jet looked at the shard. "Use it? This is about the size of the one Morgan had, and he said it wasn't large enough to capture all of his energy," Jet thought.
"Hurry Mr. Enduro. I'm on a small schedule. I have something dire I need to fulfill in two day's time. So, let's not waste it."
Haruko held his hand and fired a black sphere of energy at Jet. Jet barely had any time to react, holding the gem in front of him to block.
The moment the blast collided, Jet felt like he was holding back a train. The force of the blast was huge, but gradually, the gem seemed to absorb it. After a few moments, the gem had absorbed the energy.
Suddenly, the gem glowed brightly. It began to change, taking the form of a semi- large gun. However, it seemed more like a miniature cannon.
The weapon was entirely silver. It suddenly connected to Jet's ARMs, forming some type of blaster.
Haruko seemed to be in thought. "I don't recall the gems ever merging with a normal weapon. What could this mean?" Haruko thought as he watched, studying the weapon.
Jet looked at it and found that it did not weigh more than a feather. He could easily throw it in the air and catch it.
Besides this, however, Jet felt a massive amount of energy surging through the blaster. He could almost feel it vibrating slightly, emanating a small hum.
Jet held it with ease in his right hand. He aimed at Haruko and prepared to pull the trigger.
Haruko smiled. "Go ahead Mr. Enduro. I just realized I'll be better off if I study your new toy."
Jet squinted and fired. A huge energy surge flew through the blaster as a huge burst sailed right at Haruko. The blast was amazingly fast, hitting Haruko the moment it was unleashed.
Jet watched in amazement as a large explosion occurred, slightly rocking the ruin.
"In one shot. I might just be able to survive this," he though as he held it with both hands and aimed it at the figure walking from the smoke.
Haruko dusted himself off with one hand. "Very intriguing. However, let's see how you handle this one!" Haruko fired another blast of energy, however, this one was much larger than the previous. It shot at Jet, giving him only enough time to hold the blaster in front of him.
Suddenly, the blaster quickly morphed into a large glass shield, deflecting the blast right back at Haruko, who fired another blast to cancel it out. A huge flash occurred, blinding both of them.
Virginia slowly leaned against the wall. "I think... I can handle that horrible feeling. But why does it affect me so much?" Virginia thought as she shielded her eyes from the flash.
Jet brought the blaster down, only to see Haruko had disappeared.
"Jet," Virginia murmured, "where'd he go?" she asked as he turned to her. "Don't know," he replied.
He glanced around quickly. "Are you all right?" he asked. Virginia nodded. "Yeah, I think I'm fine."
Suddenly, another tremor occurred. Jet quickly glanced, only to see a huge pillar of black energy head straight for him. He grabbed Virginia's arm and ran to the side, avoiding the attack.
"Please Mr. Enduro, can't you do better?" Jet looked around, only to see a large mass of black ooze form right in front of him.
Jet readied the blaster, however, he was too slow, allowing Haruko to place his hand straight in front of his face.
"The girl can't save you this time," Haruko whispered as the sphere began to form in front of Jet's face.
Jet gritted his teeth. "No, but it's not like I'm going to allow you to try."
He pulled the trigger, releasing the blast as hit Haruko with only a foot of difference between them both.
The blast hit Haruko, shoving him into the far wall. The wall exploded, crashing down on the demon.
Jet breathed heavily. The blaster was powerful, but every time he fired it, it took a chunk of his energy.
Suddenly, the wall on the left came down. Jet and Virginia turned their heads to see Morgan and Gallows enter the room.
Morgan looked around. "What happened here?!" Jet glanced at the crumbled wall. "I was busy."
Gallows looked at the wall as well. "Wait, he's not here, is he?"
Jet nodded.
Suddenly, the rubble flew off as Haruko stepped out. He looked around. "Interesting. So, it seems reinforcement have come. But it doesn't matter. You all will die!" he exclaimed as he held out both of his hands.
Suddenly, a gunshot was heard, hitting Haruko on the shoulder. "What now?" he asked, seemingly annoyed.
Todd stepped down from the crumbled staircase as he reloaded Clive's rifle.
He glanced around noticing everyone. He then stopped on Morgan. Todd felt his eyes begin to flutter. A huge sensation overwhelmed him. "What, what is this? Why am I getting tired all of a sudden?" he thought as he began to stumble.
A small black aura surrounded him, as he fell to his knees. Unimaginable pin seeped through his body. He felt a jolt run up his spine as his muscles felt like they were popping.
As everyone watched in amazement, Morgan looked in shock.
"They couldn't have gone through with it. It was a failure! Why, why did they push it?" he thought as he saw Todd look up for a second, one second, and stared at him.
Morgan glanced downward as Todd screamed in pain.
Jet backed away as Todd began to transform. A strange black armor bursted through his skin, covering his entire body. Two horns sprouted from the top as two burning red eyes opened.
Finally, a huge flash occurred, leaving everyone to stare at the strange being standing before them.
Todd could not see. He was awake in a pool of infinite darkness. He could not move. He was drifting deeper, deeper into the murky waters.
He could not control his body. His mind seemed to be the only thing left. But he was pushed aside. Something much stronger had taken control, leaving him to drift into the darkness.
