They were unsure of how far they descended into the ship. They had figured the ballroom would have been closer to the top of the ship, but the stairs begged to differ. As they expected, the area was getting brighter and brighter, and the place was beginning to look more like a dining room. "This kind of makes me hungry... but it doesn't smell like food," Jabra said.
"Honestly, I don't blame you, since no one had any breakfast. Though the motivation for not BECOMING someone's breakfast it pretty strong within me right now. Which one do you think we're going to run into", Raymond replied.
"Well, it won't be Cannibal since Lucci and Kaku insist on going after him themselves. So as long as we run into the second strongest, I'd be satisfied."
"I feel like that's something you ALL hope for", Raymond replied as he facepalmed. Then again, if it helps makes things easier on our friends I wouldn't mind."
"You're so nice it's kind of sickening. By the way, have you ever actually killed anyone before?" Jabra asked as if it was the most normal question in the world.
"No. I never fought to kill, but I often fought with the feeling of indifference of ending my opponent should it so happen. If they were endangering my life."
"Would you be able to fight with that kind of intent?"
"It can't be too hard. Just make sure they stop breathing, right", he asked actually sounding quite nonchalant. "I won't make a habit out of it, but whatever it takes to get these jackasses off of our backs. Do you feel that? I'm getting some sort of malicious signal up ahead."
"Thats new... I don't think I've ever FELT malicious intent before. I wonder if they're a lot more dangerous than I thought," Jabra said.
"Gee you think", Raymond replied as he facepalmed. "It almost feels... toxic? It just feels really old and really bad."
"Sounds like my father...from what I can remember of him", Jabra replied. This got a giggle out of Raymond. "You're laughing but it's not a lie", he assured.
"It doesn't seem to be approaching US, so I assume it's one of those henchmen waiting for us."
"Then let's go kick their ass then huh?" There was a colorful door that acted as there only barrier between the two of them and whoever was on the other side... they were able to hear some music without even opening the door.
"Hm... Groovy! Are they some kind of disco dancer?"
"I hope not... now stand back." Jabra broke the door down, shattering it to a dozen colorful pieces. Sure enough, the disco music became even louder. This floor must have been the only one coated in marble! The person on the inside was not dancing, however. It looked like they were painting on a canvas. From what they could tell, he was wearing a suit that had many colors on it. In fact, each limb was a different color. His right arm was red, left was blue, right pants leg yellow, left leg green, and his torso was black. He was coated in colors. In fact, the entire ballroom was coated in unusual colors. He had a black mohawk and a big gold nose ring. "Seems pretty gaudy!"
"I think it looks pretty cool... Yeah, a bit bright though I'll give you that. Now whom do we have the pleasure of dealing with THIS time", Raymond asked. The question went unanswered, however. It seems like the man either intentionally ignored him or was too busy focusing on the canvas in front of him.
"HEY! Don't ignore us! Come out and face us", Jabra shouted.
"Shhhhh! Be quiet! I'm almost done!"
"Done doing what, exactly", Raymond asked. He was answered by the man turning the canvas around and showing what he was working on. To both he and Jabra's surprise it was a painting of the two. Both standing there. From the expressions, they were both trying to get the attention of something. Wait a minute... this is the EXACT moment they entered the room.
"D-did he paint the future or something", Jabra asked. It wasn't a simple drawing or sketch. It was an elaborate painting in GREAT detail. Right down to their eye colors! Facial expressions and all.
"I paint what I see... if that is what you're asking. "Like that one over there I did yesterday", he said as he pointed to his right. Up on another canvas, there was another picture of both Jabra and Raymond... both lying down in a pool of blood. While it wasn't yet confirmed if it was so, they both looked dead. "As you can see, this battle won't go the way you want it... but I will not bother trying to convince you. I know how determined you all are in this endeavor."
"Ya damned right! Now what you gonna turn into? A cockroach?"
"Jabra, stay focused! I doubt he'd be a part of this crew if he weren't strong."
"You'd be wise to listen to the outsider. I am Cannibal's right-hand man... and his most creative one. "You may call me Vandal. I am one who leaves the works of the art world around the world. Interpret that as you like. Or not... it really matters not." Vandal stepped in front of the canvas and held up his arms. "I will use every ounce of that talent to paint you to death!"
"Gahahahahahaha! 'Paint us to death?' Is that supposed to be scary!? Gahahahahah!"
Laugh while you can. Those laughs will soon turn into screams of agony!" Vandal transformed right then and there. He grew a long gray tail; his nose and jaw grew out and grew scales. His body and clothes stretched and grew times the size. The spiky mohawk on his head seemed to turn into a row of horns. He had razor sharp teeth filling his maw. "Allow me to introduce you both to my devil fruit; The Moni-Moni fruit. Model Megalania!"
"Model w-what", Jabra asked.
Raymond took out a notepad and a pencil. "He said 'Megalania'! This is fascinating. It's an extinct species of Monitor lizard. A very BIG lizard. It's my first time seeing an ancient zoan devil fruit up close!"
"And it will be your last!" Vandal turned around and swiped his tail from right to left. A strange colorful scythe fired from his tail.
"Jabra heads up", Raymond shouted as he ducked under the scythe! Jabra ducked as well, allowing it to pass through the empty doorless entrance. "That flew way faster than I thought it would have."
"Thats not all... look at what it did", Jabra said as he pointed the door. Not only was there a huge cut in the door, but the cuts where sizzling. "It's corrosive!"
"Yes! That is my ability! The venom I can secrete is far more dangerous than Hatchet's. It's capable of melting steel and doing much worse to something as simple as the human body. Not only that but I can secrete large amounts from my tail and my mouth. I wasn't kidding when I told you I would paint you to death."
"Thats a good way to ruin your 'meal', Jabra replied as he transformed as well.
"The poison can't harm me. In fact, It's quite tasty to me. I'd consider it a condiment."
"Raymond, you didn't by any chance bring any vials of those antidotes, did you?"
"I did... but I don't think it will help us here. Sure, it would purge it from our bodies, but it won't do us any good if his venom starts dissolving us the second it hits. We're just gonna have to watch out backs."
"Alright! Keep your guard up! After we toss this overgrown gecko, we'll go after cannibal", Jabra said as he smiled.
"You won't even know what HIT you dog man!" Vandal grabbed onto his tail and pointed at Jabra. "Megalo snipe!" Within seconds he shot more of that multi colored liquid out of his tail. It was quickly avoided by Jabra jumping out of the way. The stream was wide enough to even target Raymond, whom jumped out of the way as well. The fluid zoomed by and crashed into the wall, dissolving it like melted butter!
Raymond pulled out the iron pipe his dad gave him. "I named this bad boy 'Pyxis'!" He put in a black cap this time. "Watch where you fling that! If that stuff melts through the floor you'll sink the entire ship!"
"Thats not much of a problem. Cannibal can always get a new ship. It would take a lot more than a sinking ship to stop us! In fact, I could flood this entire room with toxins right now if I wanted to."
"He's right, Raymond. Don't worry about the ship! Getting rid of him is our top priority right now. Crescent lance!" Jabra thrusted his claws forward and shot out several sharp bullets of wind out of his claws! They fired like white bullets!
Vandal opened his mouth, and allowed more of the liquid to pour out but this time it seemed to form some sort of gooey wall. Once the wall was hit by the bullets it dissipated. In fact, the bullets went right through it and went through the wall. "That wasn't a very strong wall... wait! Where did he go", Raymond asked.
When the wall disappeared, Vandal went along with it. Somehow, he managed to hide during a meager obstruction. "Raymond, be on your guard! He's hiding in thin air!"
They both looked around in an attempt to locate the speeding reptile man. He was moving so fast he turned completely invisible. They could still manage to hear his movements however. One drawback to his current heavy build.
Then he appeared right front of Jabra. Jabra reacted and punched straight ahead of himself... but his fist was grabbed by Vandal's tail. "Too bad!" He constricted Jabra's wrist, and squeezed with nearly enough force to break it. "You'll lose that wrist!"
"Not as long as I'm here" Raymond thought to himself as he shot the capsule at Vandal! The blast went to the right of Jabra and hit Vandal on his hip. It didn't of much at first, but the strange black ice began to creep up his side and even gave Jabra enough of a distraction to get away. Even the air around him was starting to grow cold. "Believe it or not, those are twice as strong as the ones I used to use."
"Then I guess they're just as pathetic then", Vandal said. He simply flexed and completely broke all the ice that stuck to his body.
"I almost couldn't even break free from his damn tail! These guys are monsters!
"That capsule had enough power to freeze an entire ship... albeit it a bit slowly. He broke through it like it was nothing! Though that was only half of the desired effect. Jabra, this guy is abnormally durable. The scales probably help cushion the attacks. We're gonna have to hit him harder!"
"Then we'll have to work together!"
"Never thought I'd hear you suggest that to anyone..."
"Better you than Lucci or Kaku... Besides we work well together!"
"Yeah, don't remind me. Ha! Let's do this!
Vandal eyes them both before smiling. "I like a good challenge! So hit me with whatever you got!" That's when they felt the ship jerk! As if something had crashed into the ship! "Hm? Did we hit something?"
"Jabra licked his lips! "Alright! Do IT, Raymond!"
Raymond loaded it with a red capsule this time and took aim. Though this time he pointed straight at Jabra.
"Gonna shoot your own teammate, are you", Vandal asked.
"Yes actually", Raymond replied. This only brought confusion to Vandal.
Jabra coated his entire hand in Haki. "Let it rip!"
"Here comes the HEAT! SUN SHOT!"
A fiery ball flew towards Jabra! "Cresent LANCE!" He created more bullets of wind and smacked the ball of fire away! Somehow, the ball of fire had turned a dull silver color and split into. "Silver Syzygy" The ball broke up into several
"Woah!" Vandal crossed his arms and prepared for impact but the flames went around him... and around... and around? "What the hell is going on here?
"You'll find out soon enough", Jabra said as he smiled.
The fiery bullets kept swirling around like they were orbiting him! He could see Raymond moving the pipe around in circles. Was he controlling the flames? Vandal tapped one of the flames, but it was lukewarm at most. That was odd. "Well, it's a cute light show sure, but if that's all it's going to do then I don't see the threat."
The second Vandal took a step forward Raymond tilted the pipe to the left. Suddenly one of the bullets stopped and crashed into the other bullets and exploded! The explosion was enough to launch him into upward, nearly to the high roof! He came back to the ground with a huge thud, cracking the hard marble floor as he landed. He was way heavier than he looked. "That was one of our new attacks! You were foolish to completely ignore my first attack. It was a special powder that made use of your swollen body. I used gravity against you to orbit our attack."
"Are you calling me fat", Vandal asked, as he got up.
"Ha! Not even close. I simply used your muscle against you. My ammo acted as a gravity generator, and the special ammo acted as meteorites. I can control the direction of the bullets, and thanks to Jabra's attack the power was doubled."
"Why didn't they explode when I touched one?"
"They only explode when they touch each other. You see THATS because..."
"Uhhhhhg! Raymond, you're starting to bore me again", Jabra said as he groaned.
"Oh, shut up and get ready to launch another one", Raymond said as he loaded the pipe again.
"Now what makes you think I'm going to let you do that again?" Vandal vanished into thin air again.
"Damn how can he move so fast?! Raymond where is he? Your supposed to be our 'special eye'."
Raymond used his observation Haki to try and locate Vandal...he was able to get a few glances of Vandal moving but he had never seen someone move so fast before! "Jabra I can't get a lock on him. He's like a flash of lightning!"
"I HIT like a flash of lightning too", Vandal said as he appeared next to Raymond. Before Raymond could react, Vandal knocked him across the dance floor... and almost into the wall across the room.
Raymond quickly got up... and rolled to his feet. "That had some POWER in it!"
"Oh, you're still standing? Any normal person would have been dead after one hit from me in this form. Well, we'll fix that." Vandal pointed his tail at Jabra. "Filler shot!" He shot more poison out of the tip of his tail.
"You can't hit me with that!" Jabra simply sidestepped the incoming beam of poison! He was preparing to attack again, until he felt something pierce his shoulder! Jabra looked down and saw that a multi colored needle had pierced his leg! "What!? How did you...", he turned to the stream of poison only to notice that it had hardened.
"Guess I should have warned you that I could harden the poison. By the way...that poison is not slow acting."
Jabra began to feel his shoulder burning intensely. As if someone was holding a fiery brander on his shoulder. He quickly ripped his shirt sleeve off and noticed his shoulder becoming discolored. Actually, it would be more fitting to say it was MULTI colored and it was travelling down his arm. "Damndamndamn!"
"That poison's gonna hurt for a while... and if you don't get rid of it, you'll lose your arm."
"Oh crap", Raymond yelled as he shaved over towards Jabra. "Here! Try this", Raymond said as he handed Jabra one of those blue vials that contained antidotes.
"What's that supposed to be", Vandal asked.
"I always come prepared! This antidote should at LEAST purge the toxin from his body."
Jabra felt a little better after chugging the vial and the multicolored spots slowly began to vanish. The pain seemed to remain however... and his arm began to grow numb!? "My arm! I can't feel my arm!"
"Relax! The numbness will wear off eventually, but I don't know how long it will last."
"Might even make fighting a bit harder for you then", Vandal said.
Raymond stepped forward. "I'll take point. Can you handle support for a while?"
"Alright, let's do this then!"
"A powerful agent submitting their chance to attack to a lesser subordinate? Well, that's strange. What happened to you all? I can't seem to comprehend this behavior."
"It's called trust. It happens when you have friends", Jabra said as he chuckled. "I guess you goons probably wouldn't know anything about that."
"Yes yes good for you. But if this is your line of defense then I truly feel sorry for you."
"I'll serve you those words on a SILVER platter! I have my own special battle mode just for dealing with intense threats like you." Raymond reached into his bag and pulled out several bang snaps. He even managed to coat them in armament Haki. "METEOR SHOWER". Raymond tossed one of the snaps over at Vandal.
Vandal jumped upwards and grabbed onto a steel beam by the ceiling, narrowly avoiding the explosion! It left a big crater in the floor! "Well, that was pretty strong!"
"I'm not even close to finished yet!" Raymond chucked another bang snap towards the beam that Vandal hung from but Vandal avoided that one too. The beam was blown to bits though and part of the roof came crashing down. "Bonus points for damage, eh Jabbi?"
"Keep your eyes on me, you little", Vandal said as he brought his claws down towards Raymond. He was expecting to smash him into the ground, but he was only met with his hand hitting solid ground. "What?! He vanished!"
"Quick and nimble! And here, I got you a present!" Raymond appeared behind Vandal, hopped backwards and tossed a handful of the snaps at Vandal. Once they all hit it set of a big explosion that managed to propel Vandal forward. "Over to YOU Jabra!"
"On it! "FULL MOON CRASH." Jabra leaned back and stood on his tail! The second Vandal flew towards him, he swung both his feet upwards and kicked Vandal up into the roof. In fact, he kicked him partly through the roof. "Hm? Why does that look so familiar", he asked himself. Couldn't be the memory of a similar thing happening to him, could it?
"Jabra, did you name that attack 'full moon' because your ass is practically sticking up in the air?"
"No, smartass! It's because... eh... actually, what you said makes a bit more sense now that I think about it."
Anyways, that's some fancy footwork of y-y-y... he's gone", Raymond said as he looked up at the now vacant hole in the ceiling. Raymond prepared himself for another confrontation. Likewise, Jabra frantically looked around in an attempt to spot the lizard man. He was nowhere to be found!
They could feel his presence, but it wasn't just in one place. It was moving around as if he was literally everywhere at once. "How the hell is he doing that", Jabra shouted. He couldn't even smell Vandal anymore.
Raymond stood at attention with Pyxis in his hands. Even with his Haki he couldn't get an exact lock on Vandal. Every attack had to be precise if he wanted to deal as much damage as possible... but if he can't find a target, then he'd leave himself wide open. That toxic feeling seemed to grow even more intense, as if it were getting closer... and maybe it was! The second he felt it behind him, he turned and aimed... but there was no one there. "What?!"
"Too slow", a voice said from behind Raymond.
That was all he heard before he felt something pierce his back. Though he wished that was the only part of him it pierced. Raymond looked down and noticed a familiar grey tail sticking through his side. "D-damn... you got me."
"Yup. Now be a good troublemaker and bleed out while I kill your friend too", Vandal said as he tossed Raymond away.
Jabra shook his head in disbelief and quickly ran over to catch Raymond. "Raymond!"
"I know... I know, I screwed up. I said I would take point but I messed up." Raymond said as he held onto his side. He didn't have anything to stop the bleeding.
"No, I'm not going to give you crap... I couldn't see him either. If anything, I think you still detected him before I did. Set this out, I'll take it from here."
"Like hell I will! This is my fight too, and I'm not going to go down that easily!" Raymond tried to stand up, but he felt something holding him down. It was Jabra's palm. Raymond was rapidly losing energy and he didn't have much strength to even fight. Luckily it seemed the poison didn't quite get a chance to spread since the tail went through him.
"Knock it off. You can't do more than your body will let you. Besides, if you keep fighting with a hole in your torso, you'll die! You really think I'm gonna let that happen? If you taught me anything it's to trust someone else to help you."
"You did that, and I..."
"I still trust you with my life. Now trust me with yours. You're the perfect support after all. I can feel my arm again, so I'm going to let him have it", Jabra said.
Raymond squeezed his bloody shirt and nodded. "Alright! It's your turn again. BUT I'm not out of this just yet!"
"Alright Vandal, it's you and me", Jabra shouted!
"Good! It'll be even more satisfying to end YOUR life", Vandal said as he licked the blood off of his tail. "Now Jabra, let me ask you something! What did you hope to accomplish with this little rebellion of yours? Did you really think any of you would win this?"
"That remains to be seen! But what I DO know is that we aint going down without a damn FIGHT!" Jabra charged forward and held out both his hands. "TEN FINGER PISTOL!"
"You think that childish attack is gonna hurt me", Vandal asked. His question was answered by Jabra jumping into the air and spinning around like a screw! "What?"
"SPINNING SILVER BULLET" Jabra turned into a shining corkscrew surrounded by wind.
Vandal crossed his arms and hardened his body! When Jabra collided, it actually managed to make sparks fly all over the area. "What the hell is this?!" Vandal was actually being pushed back! Before he knew it, the force of the attack actually tripped him over and he fell backwards.
"This is what happens when you make me mad", Jabra said as he came to a stop. "CRESCENT BARRAGE!"
Jabra kicked multiple scythes at Vandal, whom managed to avoid most of them, but several of them scraped across his body. "You've sped up, huh? Well, isn't that cool? I don't really see the need to drag this out any further though! So! Let me show you something interesting" Vandal's body began to grow again, but this time he got on all fours. His tail grew even longer. Jabra actually had to step backwards because now Vandal was three times his size. He transformed into his complete Zoan form!
"Oh sheesh! He got even bigger", Raymond said as he quickly shot up from the ground. He grabbed his side in pain again.
"I should warn you though... I never take this form unless I'm ready to kill my prey!" Vandal placed both of his claws on the ground and stared directly at Jabra. His forked tongue flickered as his eyes darted around the room. I still smell the blood of that other one pooling. Come now, let's end this!" When he smiled, a bunch of colorful saliva dripped from his lips and sizzled as it hit the ground. "Make your move!"
"Alright! Have it your way!" Jabra kicked more scythes at Vandal, but they simply fizzled out once they hit Vandal's hide. He didn't even move after being hit with the barrage! "W-well try this!" Jabra coated his hand in Haki and ran up to slash Vandal. Even though he swiped as hard as he could, he didn't even leave a mark on Vandal. "You can't be serious!"
"Now it's MY turn dog boy!" Vandal said.
"Ha! Whatever! You're too big and slow to..." SLAM! Jabra suddenly found that he was smooshed under Vandal's tail. He felt pain shoot down his entire body! "G-gah!"
"You were probably expecting me to be slow because of my size. We are the cream of the crop when it comes to power, but you know this already." He lifted his tail and pulled it back.
Jabra was a bit disoriented but he could tell what Vandal was doing. "IRON BODY!"
"PINHOLE PISTOL!" Vandal shot his tail forward and tried to skewer Jabra. Despite Jabra's hardened body, Vandal still managed to puncture his stomach! "Hm? It didn't go all the way through hanks to your iron body... but that's still Checkmate! Mutt! Better safe than sorry though", Vandal said as he pulled his tail out and knocked Jabra backwards. That's when he got a familiar sight. "Well... looks like me art of you two lying face down in blood was NEARLY correct. I didn't expect you to keep your form once I skewered you." He pulled his tail back and prepared to attack again.
Jabra looked down at the ground... he could see and even smell his own blood dripping onto the ground. "This can't be! We can't die here!"
"Jabra! Get ready to move", Raymond called out as he reached into his bag. He took out a couple of smoke bombs. "SKY GLOW!" He tossed a few of them across the dance floor. As soon as they hit, the burst, and released a smokescreen.
The next thing Jabra knew, he was being dragged by Raymond. They didn't get very far before Raymond collapsed. "Raymond... I couldn't do it! I can't save us!"
"A bit too soon to be giving up isn't it Jabra", Raymond asked.
"His skin is too tough! Even for my claws. He's bigger and stronger than he was before, and he didn't get any slower. There's a hole in BOTH our stomachs, and we won't live much longer if we keep fighting..."
"Only sounds like it'll be even sweeter when we find a way to beat him", Raymond said as he smiled. "This smokescreen is capable of disrupting Haki, but it hits us too. Its purpose is to give us enough time to form a plan."
"How do you do it, Raymond? How do you keep wanting to get back up even when you know you don't stand a chance? Don't take this the wrong way but I don't even think explosives will help us."
"Well, I've never been one to give up easily... but where do you THINK I get my determination from? Watching you and the others fight always makes me want to work even harder. No matter what kind of enemy we're fighting I'm going to do whatever it takes to make sure we come out on top. Because giving up is the same as asking Vandal to kill us. Now stop feeling sorry for us and start using your brain. !"
Jabra was honestly surprised at Raymond's words. He was right though! If they just gave up, what kind of warriors would they be? This battle isn't just about life and death... it's about pride. He felt a moment of shame for nearly giving up, but now's not the time to feel sorry. It's time to strategize. "Your right! Raymond, I kinda wished I listened to this earlier... but how does Pyxis work? How do you control where the bombs were going?"
"Like I said, it was a combination of magnetism and makeshift gravity. I'll get to the point though. It's not the ammo itself that I was controlling, but rather the star powder inside."
"So... that would mean you can control whatever the powder is IN, right?"
"Well, I'm not 100 percent sure about that, but with enough I assume I could."
"Do you think you could make a human weapon then?"
"I think I see where you're going with this, but there's still a matter of his defense."
"Damn that's true... I forgot about that for a second."
"Remember! We have to strike true and with devastation! He's got to have a weak spot somewhere... Wait! I know where we can strike!"
"I knew I could count on you to think of something. Give me ALL the star powder you got! This stuff is safe to eat, right?"
"It causes heavy indigestion eventually but you won't die from ingesting it. Now let's give him hell!"
"Ok you two! This smokescreen is a nice touch and all, but it's pointless. I can't sense you for some reason, but it'll dissipate in a moment. Who says I have to wait? I'll melt both of you into a colorful puddle! Then you'll be a permanent part of my floor!" Vandal took in a deep breath and began building up venom!
"God this stuff tastes awful", Jabra shouted. "Let's do this! I'm starting to sense him again!"
"Yeah, so am I! He's about to fire something at us! Take your position and I'll stop the attack", Raymond said as he loaded a white capsule into Pyxis.
As soon as the smokescreen cleared, he spied both of the combatants standing by the entrance of the room. "HIDING POWER!" A colorful ball of venom shot out of his mouth and flew across the floor. Every drip sizzled as it hit the ground.
"PLUTO SHOT!" Raymond shot the capsule at the ball of paint and froze it in midair! "Jabra now!"
"You froze it! Big whoop! I'll just make another", Vandal said as he sucked in more air.
Jabra also took in a deep breath and clenched his fists! "I hope you're ready to die, Vandal!" Jabra hopped backwards and jumped into the air. "Lets 'give it a spin'!" He jumped into the air and began to spin forward this time, all the while building up a sharp wind."
"I hope this works", Raymond said as he moved Pyxis to the left. When he did, the spinning Jabra moved to the left as well. He did the same thing to the right, and once again Jabra moved. "Perfect! Reeeeeady!" Raymond used Pyxis to pull Jabra back like a slingshot! "SILVER ASTEROID!" Raymond swung the pipe with all his strength and launched Jabra along with it.
In the blink of an eye, Jabra flew across the room, and uncurled and bared his claws as soon as he got near Vandal. "Taaaaake this!"
"You still think you're going to be able to..." *SHING*. Jabra aimed right for Vandal's neck and managed to slash across his throat! "Ack! Ack! Ouk!"
"It worked! Just like we planned it, more or less", Raymond said as he dropped the pipe.
Vandal transformed back into his human form, and grabbed a hold of his neck! He held on as hard as he could, but the blood wouldn't stop gushing out. The attack cleaved right through his jugular. "Y-you bastards! You!" His voice was raspy!
"And THATS how it's done, Vandal", Jabra said as he transformed back into his human form. "Bet you didn't draw THIS on one of your canvas' huh!?"
"A-alright! You g-got me!" Vandal dropped to his knees. "I guess I was wrong... you two were strong enough to beat me. Even if you all do manage to be cannibal... you'll never be free. NEVER! Your lives will be HELL!" He had both knees on the ground as he hunched over. He kept trying to hold his neck, but the blood wouldn't stop running.
Jabra made his way back over towards Raymond and the door. "I've been fighting, my whole life. Ever since I was a kid. This won't be any different. Besides, hell probably aint so bad if you got people to help you through it. Even if they bug the crap out of ya."
"Gee you have such a way with words. I get the sentiment though. Goodbye, Vandal", Raymond said as he and Jabra left the room. "See, I told you we could do it. Good job using your brain for once, by the way."
"I might be injured, but I can still kick your ass, Raymond."
"We don't know that for sure... but what I do know is that I can do this", Raymond said as he thrusted Pyxis in front of him. When he did, Jabra flew forward and landed on his face.
"Hey! Damn you!"
"He...h-heh...heh"
Vandal fell to the ground...
