A Boundless Love Part Three
Both gang's soldiers charged at each other, it was a blur of blacks with white and blacks with red. The scorpion generals wore white, pure white, blending with the falling snow and with the snow on the ground. Rei was battling this giant lizard demon, over 7 feet tall, scales all over his body. He was huge, but Rei could handle him with her trusty Sais. They were flaming red, the hilt covered with a flame print and the blades razor sharp. Rei's flame ability is able to create fire out of thin air and onto an object and in this case her trusty Sais. She was quicker than him, even though he was clearly stronger in strength.
Minako was battling this kid around 3 and ½ feet tall, he was snake demon. It was clearly seen by his rattlesnake tail, and yes he was fast, very fast. So fast that Minako couldn't hit him, not even once. Minako was using her electric whip, slashing just trying to strike him once. Minako's whip was specially created just for her. Every second 100 bolts of electricity flow threw the whip. It could slash, shock, and/or whip anyone, 3 weapons in one. The whip was all gold, a thunder print going down the whip. But every time she got close, he would assail her, attack her brutally, even more than once he tried to puncture her legs with his poisonous fangs.
Ami was doing her best trying to fight this guy, but he kept blocking all of her bullets. The guy was around 5" 9 tall, he was using a katana. It looked like he was a lizard, webbed hands and everything. Her machine handguns weren't doing anything, either he dodged of he blocked with his sword. Ami's machine gun was her own invention. It can shoot 100 rounds per minute. The refill has more than 1000 rounds in each pack. The whole gun is light blue; water prints were on the side of the gun.
Makoto was fighting this two-headed snake thing; it was wicked fast, strong and has a nasty, poisonous bite. It was 8 feet long, 5 to 6 feet high; it kept trying to catch her in its jaws. Makoto was using her electric pole; it was green with leaf patterns. It could extend more than 100 feet if she wanted too, the ends were in the shape of a leaf, and the leaves emit over 100 bolts of electricity, just like Minako's whip. All Makoto could do was keep dodging and attack occasionally only.
Michiru and Setsuna were fighting this really short kid, he wasn't much of a fight, and all he kept doing was dodging and was throwing stones. "Don't worry about me, go help Minako. The kid's just the smarts of the operation; I can handle him, go" Setsuna told Michiru while kicking him in the stomach away from her. Michiru nodded and sheathed her rapier (a long skinny sword); she fixed the bow and quiver on her back (please tell me if quiver is the wrong word for the arrow holder). She was taught to use the bow and arrows from Rei, she thought that Michiru would need a weapon she could shoot and have a far away range of attack.
She went over to Minako's fight slowly, she watched his movements. 'Right, two, three. Left, two, three. Right, two, three. Right there is where he should land.' Michiru knocked an arrow into place and aimed. Just before he landed, she let the arrow fly; it flew fast and swift towards her opponent. He noticed the arrow too late; it pierced his side, just as his feet touched the ground. "You…you bitch!" The demon tried to pull the arrow out, but just as he grasped the base of it, Minako's whip wrapped around him. "Hey, thanks Chiru-chan" Minako smiled at her. "Chiru-chan?" Michiru looked confused before walking over to her. "Ya it's my nickname for you. You know like Haru, Mako, Reiko, Tsuna-chan, Ames, Usa and me, Mina." Michiru nodded and looked at the guy tied with Minako's electric whip. "Anyway, I think I can handle him now. Go help Reiko, ok?" Minako asked with her puppy dog eyes, Michiru smiled and nodded.
Michiru went from battle to battle helping as much as she could. Soon all the Black Scorpion generals were either dead or tied up. "Come on let's get back to Haru-chan" Makoto said starting to head back. But as soon as she looked back, she had to stop and stare at the amazing sight. "Ne, Mako. What are you…?" Minako stopped in mid sentence. Everyone turned around to see what Makoto was looking at, but it was the same reaction. There both of them were, Haruka and Joshua, hand against hand, each trying to push the other person off balance. That is until Joshua pulled and sent a shocking blow right into Haruka's face sending her backwards. But just before falling down completely, Haruka gripped the ground with her hands and sent 2 feet kick upwards, braking Josh's jaw. They looked equally matched one blow after another. Both of them never stopped, not even once, not even to take a breath.
"Man, look at them go. It's as if they'll go on forever" Minako exclaimed. "I don't think so, Mina-chan. Look, Haru-chan's not even out of breath, but Joshua is. I guess the training she did really helped. There…look! Josh is down. We win!" Rei announced. The group ran over to Haruka and congratulated her. Josh was on his back with Haruka pointing the space sword to his neck. But just as Haruka let her guard down, Josh had shot at her. It was like watching a slow movie; Josh had pulled out his hidden wakazashi and slashed up. Michiru's eyes widened considerably, she couldn't move. Her one and only love was wounded, badly. She watched on as her love tried to stand up straight, but the wound was deep. The blood dripped off her shirt, creating a puddle at her feet. "Hehehe. That's what your get for not paying attention. This war's mine" Joshua smirked getting ready for the final blow. Suddenly he saw movement on the side of his eye, and saw Haruka's gang coming closer at them. "Tsk. Fine we'll take this battle else where." Joshua chanted something and suddenly the pair was surrounded in an unbreakable barrier. He smirked again and raised his sword once more, ready to slice Haruka' s head right off her shoulders. But when he swung down, Michiru took off from the place she was hiding inside the barrier and stepped between the two. She blocked his blow with her sword, but it was hard enough to send her to her knees.
Michiru tried to get up once more; she just had to protect Haruka. She had managed to knock him away with a few strong punches, but he was coming back just as strong as before. But…when she blocked the attack before, her ankle gave out. She kept trying to stand once more, but her ankle protested, she just couldn't move an inch. "Hehehe. What? Can't seem to move? What happened to your ankle?" Josh smirked maniacally. He raised the sword again, ready to finish her off once and for all. The sword came down as swift as lightning, ready for a clean swipe in the pale smooth neck.
'This is it. It's the end for me' Michiru thought, until she felt hands around her waist, pulling her to the person saving her. The sword just missed her face by an inch. "Are…you alright…hime-chan?" Haruka asked out of breath. The movement was just too much for her over taxed body, she had broken ribs, the deep slash wound on her stomach, her head felt like it was gonna explode and she had bruises almost everywhere. Haruka looked down on her hime-chan and saw she was covered in bruises as well, but thankfully that was it, just bruises, besides the ankle. She sighed in relief and rested her chin on Michiru's shoulder when she heard her answer, "Yes, I'm fine. Thank you again Ruka. But what about you? Your wounds are deep and you've lost a lot of blood" Michiru's voice shook as she spoke. Haruka held Michiru closer to her and started nuzzling her neck. 'Sigh' 'she still smells like the ocean, even now. So pleasant' Haruka thought to herself. "I'm ok, Michi. Just a little…Careful!" Haruka moved them to safety again away from Josh's blade. "I'm…sorry, hime-chan. I'm sorry for breaking my promise." Haruka stood up and redrew her space sword. "It seems that we're losing. And right now, there's only one option left open to me, now. 'Haruka turned to look at her' Sayonara, michiru" Haruka gave a quick smile to Michiru, before charging at Josh head on.
Michiru could only watch in despair as her Ruka fight against Joshua. Haruka blocked the next blow coming at her with a butcher's block and slashed at Josh again. 'This is it' Haruka slashed up with all her strength and was able to make a huge wound in Josh's chest, but sadly… it wasn't enough to kill him. 'Tsk' 'I missed.' Haruka stumbled back, out of breath, and kneeled down. "Rrrr. How dare you! Oh wells, it doesn't matter now. Kukuku you can barely stand, bow pitiful" Joshua laughed as he raised his sword. "No! Haruka, please, you have to get up!" Michiru ran to try to get to her love in time, but in her mind, she knew she wouldn't make it. The sword was coming down and she was still a couple feet away and with her sprained ankle… 'No! Haruka!'
