Chapter - 5: Angered Child
"Are you sure you know where your going Vincent?" the person walking behind him asked.
"Look." Vincent declared as he pointed to the edge of the forest, they could both see the snowy ground ahead.
From his left Kane heard a sound, a small snap of a twig, he had just looked back a second ago and there was nothing in sight.
He acted cool and yawned, reaching his hand upwards as if stretching and grasped the handle of the axe across his back. He quickly pulled it up and swung it to the left, there was a loud noise as the blade hit the metal covering on Loz's left arm, at that second Vincent spun around and fired two shots in-between Loz and his cloaked friend, aiming at Yazoo whom he had noticed following them for the last two minutes. He ducked in time to avoid the shots that seared the tips of his hair, but also lost his target as he dove next to the bushed and tried aiming again at Vincent.
Loz moved his arm to the left, pushing the axe as he brought up his right arm and punched at his enemy. Vincent jumped into a nearby treetop and vanished from sight; Yazoo still had to focus on him and couldn't help his companion. Kane thrust his body to the right dodging the punch and spun in a right circle to bring his axe around at Loz once again. Yazoo ran off into the forest hoping to confuse his opponent and remove the chance he could be sniped from the trees.
Loz smacked the side of the axe blade with his armored arm and quickly reached down the handle, grappling with it and keeping it immobile. Thinking fast Kane leaned backwards evading another strike from Loz and then kicked out with his foot, cracking into the martial artists kneecap. The momentum from the punch, plus the force from the kick and Kane's weight brought both of them tumbling down.
Yazoo held his gun-blade tight and leaned around the tree he'd been using for cover, just a second ago, a bullet zoomed past him, he knew his prey was nearby. A bullet came at him as he leaned out and back in quickly and hit the tree, sending broken chunks of wood spraying all around and splinters into the silver haired mans face. Yazoo sidestepped out and released a round of cover fire into the woods until he saw Vincent, he was behind a tree, all that was exposed was the shoulder of his mantle. He turned around and came out at the same time Yazoo fired, the shot hit him in the left shoulder, he shuttered with pain and fired his own weapon, the bullet sunk into Yazoo's thigh. Vincent silently berated himself for missing his opponent's knee or artery.
The two rolled around on the ground kicking and punching for a few moments, then Kane managed rolled away and stood, he heaved the axe down and sparks flew as it collided with the bracer again and knocked Loz's arm to his side.
"May deaths journey be easy for you." he muttered while he raised his axe again and cleaved downwards. Midway through the move his world spun as a blunt force met the back of his head, Kadaj's sword handle; Kane fell over face first into the snow at his opponent's feet. Loz stood from the ground and lifted his downed foe, pinning his arms to his side as Kadaj sheathed his sword and began punching him in the stomach repeatedly. Kane's eyes burned with anger as he tried to break free of the man behind him, but he was still dizzy and each punch weakened him more.
Yazoo fired off three more shots all hitting Vincent in the chest, he was now bleeding bad and out of ammo on hand, as he walked up to Yazoo he received another shot to the chest. Five shots, he was nearly dead, but he was also very angry, stress built up within him and he felt those feelings again, he gave into the hatred, he felt horns spiral out of his head and the tail as he transformed in to the Galian Beast.
Kadaj smacked the other kid across the face.
"Where did you take "mother"!" he screamed as he continued his assault.
In all of the pain and through the dizziness, he found the strength to ram his head forward and smash Kadaj in the face as he had leaned in to hit him again. He then quickly stomped on the foot of the one holding him.
Kadaj reared back and rubbed his nose as Loz hopped back a step in pain; Kane merely fell to the floor and passed out as they recovered.
Yazoo burst out of the woods to the path they were on.
"Run!" he screamed as he continued past them.
They looked in the direction he was running from and saw trees collapsing in the forest as something huge rampaged after him, they took off the same way he was headed. The beast roared into the woods as he charged faster after his prey, it took a moment to rip a tree out of the ground to use as a club.
Kadaj paused and ducked for cover behind a tree as he waited for the beast to head his way, the others didn't notice, or didn't care and kept running. When he saw the monstrous thing he drew his duel-bladed katana and leapt at it, it saw him and swung its tree-club at him in mid air. The tree smashed into him and sent him flying the other way for a very long distance far out of the creature's sight. It began to breathe heavily, and slowly his anger left as the beast returned deep into Vincent, he was uninjured now, other then the holes in his clothes he noted as he headed back for his friend.
