(Hmm.... Sorry for the late chapter, I've just been playing Final Fantasy
Eight and have gotten somewhat addicted to it.)
The Demon Lord, Haruko- Chapter Eighteen; Part Three
Haruko took a few steps forward, smiling maliciously as Jet took out his weapon.
"That attack you pulled off Mr. Enduro, was magnificent, but it fails to have done too much damage."
Jet gritted his teeth. "Don't worry, I have more." Haruko nodded. "Yes, of course you do. And it's a good thing you have more. You're going to need them."
Morgan backed away. He felt a sudden drop in temperature. Something was wrong.
Virginia and Gallows quietly walked through the rocky terrain. It took a few minutes to exit the fields, while it took Virginia what seemed like hours.
Gallows scratched his head while he glanced around. "Um, Ginny.... Are you sure you're okay?"
Virginia stopped and rubbed her eyes. "I'm just fine Gallows. Let's just find Morgan, okay?"
Gallows nodded and continued to follow his comrade.
Haruko dropped his smile as he held out his right arm. "To tell you the truth, it's been quite a pleasure, but unfortunately, I have to kill you all. Allow me to explain, what you see in front of you is a shell."
"A shell?" Morgan replied. Haruko nodded. "Yes, a shell. This is not my true state. However, in reality, I was unable to destroy this shell because of my low amount of energy. But here, in compression, I can control it, and break this shell. And that, is exactly what I am going to do."
Haruko laughed. "Don't be afraid, you should be honored. You are the only people to witness this in ten centuries!"
Jet glanced at Morgan. "Get back. There's no saying what he'll do next."
Morgan nodded and backed away further.
Haruko gritted his teeth as the sky darkened. The sand and gravel began to swirl around madly as funnels erupted from the ground.
Small black sparks spurted out of Haruko's skin as it began to crack and chip away.
Jet and Morgan watched in shock and horror as the cracks spread throughout Haruko's entire body. Beams of black light shone through the cracks as Haruko screamed in pain.
Suddenly, a funnel erupted from beneath him and surrounded the demon as most of his skin exploded, releasing a massive burst of black energy which merged with the funnel, causing it to explode, leaving a huge sphere of energy.
"What the Hell is that?!" Jet yelled out as Morgan shook his head. "Could it be? Those ancient patterns I was able to decipher... They spoke of a fox demon, the Nine- Tailed Fox..." Morgan muttered as the sphere began to take form.
Jet glanced at him in somewhat curiosity before turning his head to face the entity. The form was unmistakable. It was huge, approximately the size of the dragon, Saiin.
The beast stood on all fours, white fur covering its entire body. Nine huge tails sprouted from the tail end of the demon while blood red eyes focused on the two.
A moment later, a silent voice drifted through Jet and Morgan's heads. They could hear the voice clearly, however, the one saying them was not moving its mouth or performing any body gestures.
"Well, what do you two think? This will be the last thing you see. I am Haruko, the Nine- Tails Fox Demon."
Jet loaded his ARMs. "A fox? How nice," he stated as he aimed at Haruko. Haruko laughed. "You are just as humorous as ever, Mr. Enduro. But humor won't save you. Not from me, or anything else!"
Haruko dashed at Jet, preparing to strike with his massive paw. Jet quickly rolled to the left, dodging the blow. However, Haruko swatted at Jet with one of his left tails, smashing him across the ground.
Jet slowly stood up, rubbing his sore section. "Okay. Maybe I underestimated you."
