Chapter 13
I don't own Rising of the shield hero or destiny
If you want to see something funny looking look up Rising of the ballistic shield there are so many pictures of Raph with a gun
Sorry the last chapter was a bit short but I believed that the wave would take up its own chapter and it seemed a good spot to stop
To L
Moto is definitely a womanizer, but I don't think is a pedo, I think its more to do with the stereo type that all small girls in anime are cute and he seems more interested in fawning over Filo then anything, though with Callum around he won't be able to try either
To guest, I don't know if the anyone else has shadows except the queen, as for the skills I only plan on using them when they are needed. Though I wouldn't be surprised if each person has different skills that they can unlock besides from some common skills meaning that is quite hard to tell if someone has the upgrade (I assume there are ways to test but its not like they are going to stand still for any test). Their level will reveal if they have the upgrade but the other hero's will have no idea that they shouldn't be above a certain level. As for the nuns...they aren't important enough to appear in the story and frankly soon the king will have much larger issues.
Story Start
The day of the wave we all waited near the blacksmith where we had agreed to meet up with Ake's party.
"I've put some spare weapons and healing goods in the carriage for you to use." said Erhard
"Thanks, they will be quite useful how much do you want for them?" I ask
"Don't worry about paying me now, just bring back everything you can."
Shortly after that a golden light enveloped us and we were transported to the wave, where we fought, and fought and fought.
"Its been three hours! How hard could it be to beat the boss? I mean the longer the wave goes on the better chance we have of our beacon signal reaching someone from our world but the greater damage this world goes through." I said
"I agree." said Ar'na as she kills a lizard man with her assault rifle "If this goes on much longer this village won't make it."
Just then we were interrupt by the sight of a sweet old lady absolutely beating the shit out of some wolf monsters
"Hey isn't that the old lady you gave some medicine to?" asked Ar'na
"Sure is and apparently it worked well!"
"Thank you very much for you help before Shield Hero, thanks to you I've recovered quite well! These old bones are feeling quite spry and its as if I'm a young adventurer once more and I'd be dammed if I'm going to let small fry like this destroy my home!" she says while slamming her fist into her hand
Then Ake approaches us from the side
"We have evacuated the village but unless this wave ends soon there will be nothing we can do!" said Ake
"Your right, it seems that the idiots can't get this done so we will have to do it for them. Ino I want to stay behind with Ake's party to amplify everyone's abilities...if anyone starts to feel tired or drained amp up their recovery, this could turn into long fight and we don't need anyone becoming exhausted. Everyone else with me to finish this wave."
With that we sped away to join the other *cough*heros*cough* with Ar'na and I on our sparrows and Raph on Filo eventually finding a massive flying ship
"And Peter Pan and Captain Hook have entered the scene...is that Itsuka shooting at the ship?" I ask in confusion "Itsuka, what the hell are you doing?"
Sending a scowl in my direction he answers "I'm trying to destroy the statue at the front of the ship to spawn the Soul Eater but the others wouldn't listen, how irresponsible can you be?"
"So for last three hours you have been doing nothing but shooting a statue, ok your coming with me."
"What? shiitttt!" screamed Itsuka as I grab his clothes for the rough of the neck and use the robe shield to quickly ascend to the ships floor.
"Now how about you actually do something useful." As I am shortly joined by the rest of my party I take a look around to see what was taking everyone so long
'Motoyasu and his party seem to be fighting one of the worm/snake monsters while Ren seems to be fighting...Johnny Depp?' I think to myself
Just then Ren seems to have killed Johnny only for him to respawn at full health and suddenly charges at Ren who had left himself wide open when a figure with a glowing blue shield appears in front of him blocking the sword...a very familiar figure. This familiar figure grabs him by the throat and ankle, lifts him up literally breaks the pirate in half over his knee before finishing it off by crushing its skull with a powerful void powered boot stomp. When that happened was burst off white energy erupted from the fallen pirate, Itsuka suddenly turns and shoots at the shadow of one of the worms/snakes causing the same thing to happen.
"I noticed that when the Pirate Captain died its shadow was still moving and I noticed that the Krakens shadow was moving even when it was stationary." said a smug Itsuka
"That would be impressive...if you hadn't just spent 3 whole hours shooting at the ships figurehead." I responded quickly shooting down his ego before turning the figure that saved Ren "Saint 14...It's good to see you."
"We got your message, Eris Morn was able to send me here, though with the spell she used will transport me back after a certain amount of time has passed." answered 14 in his powerful Russian accent "And its good to see you too old friend."
Walking forward Saint grabs my hand in a firm hand shake and roughly slaps my shoulder "When Petra reported your disappearance I became quite worried."
"Everything is fine Saint, for the last couple of months I have been fighting to protect this world from an outside force that wishes to destroy it."
"Listen I don't know who the new guy is but I don't think this is the time to be exchanging pleasantries." said Ren
Looking around I noticed that the white energy has started to congest into a single blob, which in turn transferred into a white ghost with blue flames coming off of it.
"Thunder bolt slash!"
"Thunder arrow!"
"Lightning spear!"
As one all the attacks hit the Interdimensional Soul Eater...and did absolutely nothing
"What on earth have you guys been doing for the last month? Hey Saint how about you show them how it is done?"
"For you it will be no problem." charging forward Saint 14 leaps into the air over the Soul Eater summoning his void energy he deals a devastating punch which almost killed it in a single blow.
Deciding to go on the offensive it summoned a ball of green energy into its mouth.
"Filo blow that into to the back of its mouth!" I ordered
"Okay, tornado shot!" the wind attack blasts at the energy ball, not only pushing it back but detonate it a causes it to blow of its own head causing its body to fall lifeless to the deck of the ship.
However out of the dead one came another much weaker Soul Eater
"Another one?" asked a scared Itsuka
"This wasn't in the game!" exclaimed Ren
"Relax it has a fraction of the strength the other one has, most likely its back up or failsafe to survive or to wipe out anyone that exhausted themselves to kill the first one."
Before anyone can make a move to kill it dozens of rods of light came raining down impaling and killing the second soul eater.
"How very disappointing." calls out a voice as a woman wearing a typical kimono descends from the masts before landing heavily on the deck sending a dark cloud billowing away from her.
"You had trouble with weaklings like these? Are you really he hero's that hold the fate of world in their hands? It seems to me that only two men here are worthy of being called hero's are both using shields, tell me what are you names?"
"They call me Saint 14, and this here is my inspiration Callum, who are you?"
"My name is Glass and you can consider me you enemy...so shall we begin the only fight in this wave of being called a battle."
"She killed it with a single blow...how over powered can you be?" asked Ren with shock
"What's the matter, are you too afraid to attack?" asked Glass
Before things could continue a massive shudder went through the ship
"What did we hit something?" asked Motoyasu
"Impossible, the ship avoids any collisions automatically!" exclaimed Itsuka
Just then I feel a presence I have not felt in a while and sure enough looming over the bow of the ship was Oryx The Taken King himself
"Hello little guardian, it has been too long." said Oryx sinisterly
"Not long enough, though I am curious are these waves your doing?" I ask
"These are Medea's games not mine, but I will send her a thank you for giving me this chance of vengeance as I KILL YOU." boomed Oryx
"You see I don't think you will, you were never the most talkative person and the fact that you are threatening me instead off actually trying to kill me...you lost most of your power when you fell in your throne world didn't you?"
"Damn you!" Roared Oryx slamming his and onto the deck
"If a weakly like Callum could defeat you I'm sure a real hero like me would have no trouble." boasted Motoyasu charging forward he jams his spear into the hand of Oryx
"Oh a hero are you? Do you really think you can kill me with such as weak weapon...or is it just you that is sooo weak?" Scorned Oryx as he pluck the spear from his hand and throws it (and the attached Motoyasu) into the base of the mast.
Dismissing my shield and transferring it to Ar'na inventory just encase as I summoned my bolt-caster
"Saint...you ready for this?" I ask
"I have been dreaming of this moment since I met you!" said Saint 14 joyfully
"Ar'na keep Filo and Raph safe...Raph, Filo stay with Ar'na and do not engage him. Do you understand?"
"But!?" protested Filo
"Do you understand!"
"Yes." said Raph and Filo dejectedly
"Good, hey Oryx how about we get this started."
With a roar Oryx swings his massive sword which I block the force of which cracks the deck below me
"Saint knock him back!"
Saint charges at Oryx, summoning his shield and slamming into he pushes Oryx off the ship with Saint and I jumping down after him.
"Who was that?" asked Itsuka
"That was the Taken King, if your smart you will stay clear of this fight if you want to live." said Ar'na as she fiddles with a shield
"How do you have the cardinal shield? Why do you have the cardinal shield?" asked Itsuka in confusion
"Callum transferred it to me if I needed to use it to block any splash damage." answered Ar'na
"Splash damage? Don't you mean just damage?" asked Ren
"The Taken King is literally a god, only a few guardians can stand against him the cardinal weapons would literally be toothpicks to him."
"I don't believe you, I'm sure I could take him easily!" boasted Motoyasu
"Then you can go out there an die, but before you go out there how about you check your status."
"What happened to all my sp? It was full a second ago!" exclaimed Motoyasu
"Oryx is a god, a god that can literally affect reality...which includes draining your energy."
"If that true then those guys need all the help they can get." said Ren
"No they don't, Callum has already faced Oryx before and one...and he was a lot stronger then and had an army to fight with him." said Ar'na
Back with Saint 14 and Callum
"You fought him before...any advice?" asked Saint 14
"Watch your back he can teleport and watch your energy as he as he can drain it and don't leave any openings."
With that the battle against Oryx began
Saint and I charge at Oryx from his left and right in response Oryx raises his hand and unleashing bolts of energy, Saint 14 jumps in front of me and activates his supper shield protecting us both from damage. Pressing on I jump into the air towards his face using my sword to deflect on coming energy bolts before cutting his chest.
"I see that your skills have not declined guardian." spoke Oryx
"Have you finished fooling around?" I ask, knowing that he isn't going all out
The widening grin and sword thrumming with energy was the only answer he gave before he attacked, sending waves of energy from his sword forcing Saint and I to go on the defensive before Oryx changes tactics building up a massive attack. I quickly blink to Saint 14 grabbing him before once again blinking away just in time to avoid a devastating wave of energy from his sword that tore the very mountain we were fighting on in two
A third blink takes me behind him and I unleash my chaos lance on his back as Saint 14 charges at Oryx and uses his shotgun as an axe creating a massive gash in Oryx's flank in which he shoves a grenade causing even greater damage.
Roaring in pain Oryx performs is own teleportation, only to appear flying above the battle field with one hand clutching is ruined side. His sword begins to hover and spin over his head, rotating faster and faster as is unleashes hundreds of high powered bolts, a few even making it to the ship scuttling it instantly.
'Good thing I leant Ar'na the shield, though he is weaken Oryx will never be a push over.' I thought to myself
"Ok Saint we need to finish this now, we can't afford to let this battle go on any longer."
"What do you need me to do?" asked Saint
"Cover me, I've got something that should take him out." with that Saint created a void shield around us "As source of my power decipher the laws of nature, light and magic bringing forth a massive storm. Lightning Wolf, LIGHTING HOWL!"
With that a deafening howl came from the heavens, arching lighting taking the form of a massive wolf charging down and ingulfing Oryx with the lighting so potent that it turned the ground around Oryx into glass. When the attack was finished a standing but heavily wounded Oryx was revealed.
"You have won this time, but I is only a matter of time until you fall." as Oryx finishes talking a dense mist envelops Oryx, when I vanishes a moment later so does Oryx and any trace he was even their.
Had a hard time deciding if Saint could kill it will one blow like Glass, but decided not to and just have him use a high powered melee with Filo finishing of and have the second one be a lot weaker. I also thought about including a song for the Oryx fight but couldn't find one that fit, tried some sabaton, hammerfall and also thousand foot krutch take it out on me but nothing fit. To anyone who reads Effected destiny I will have the song any means necessary by hammerfall when the batarians try crashing the asteroid. It was also pretty hard to write Oryx fight scene as he is such an amazing character and I don't think I showed that well enough so will probably re-write the fight scene later
