Unmei Force Shattered Heroes: Creative Power
Chapter 2: Hazardous Chemicals
The group managed to enter the dreary chemical factory, as the passage ahead of them was made of pipes, and held above a large sea of purple liquid, which smelled foul, and the dark smoke clouding the skies above.
"This place… really doesn't look good." Heiwa remarked with a concerned expression.
"That's a very dreary atmosphere…" Boki added, before she then noticed enemies approaching them. "Look out!"
Heiwa turned her attention back, as they noticed that there were Exchikkes and large yellow bipedal robot drones with an arm cannon and shield each, rushing at them.
The group engaged the robots, as they fired large lemon-shaped pellets at the trio, as they dodged it, before Popol used his spear to strike at the drones, as their shield cracked under the force of the attack, before he then speared one through their chest, at the slightest vulnerability, as the drone exploded into a shower of yellow rings, and a Force Power-up, which Popol took, using the power given to shoot down the other drones, as it cleared the area quickly, allowing them to proceed to the next one.
They looked around the area, before finding that they were before a pool of the purple liquid, as there was a bipedal frog robot on the other side, as it leapt up and croaked, while a large cannon appeared out of its mouth, and fired explosive orbs that lobbed through the air, as one hit the purple liquid, as it created a massive pillar of fire from the reaction.
"Wait, that liquid… it's oil, right!?" Popol exclaimed.
"We have to swim through oil!?" Boki remarked with a grossed-out expression, before sighing. "Still, it's not the worst."
Boki destroyed the robot, taking its Explode power-up, before she then leapt in the body of oil, as she destroyed the robots inside one by one, and then getting out and clearing the rest of the area with her new power-up.
They found themselves inside a small room, where there were a bunch of small rabbit robots with spring legs, as they bounced around the area. Heiwa destroyed one of them, as it dropped an orange power-up that looked like a remote disk, as she picked it up. In response, the tip of Heiwa's brush turned orange, as she swiped it, creating a small fireball that fell towards the ground. Without any input, the fireball fizzled away after bouncing off the ground several times.
Heiwa then threw another, aiming for the target through the small gap in the room, as she willed it, causing it to turn into a small explosion that broke the target, and opened the way forward.
"Woah, that's what this power does, meow!?" Boki exclaimed, before she then picked one of the power-ups herself, as her crystals turned orange. "Let me try!"
Boki then used her power to fire off small orange arrows that arced through the air, and exploded into shards when she twisted around, using it to clear the explosive mines ahead. When Popol picked up a combination of this power-up and the Explode power-up, his spear mixed between the orange and colours, and when he threw his spear forward, he threw an illusion of his spear, which hit the ground, and stuck to it like a land-mine, before he then detonate it, as it exploded into a spread of spears that skewered the nearby enemies.
"Wow…" Popol stated, as Boki cleared out the rest of the enemies in the room, as they moved onto the next area.
"You're about to enter a large facility of some sort." Savant informed the group. "Be on your guard- things are going to be getting more dangerous from here on."
The group found themselves in another path ahead, as they were attacked by large voo-doo doll-like creatures that seemed to be ripped from the torso, leaving two horizontal halves that fired ring-like blasts from the appendages on their heads. As soon as Heiwa destroyed one of them, the 8-spoked wheel power-up that they saw in the forest, the Split Power-up, appeared before her, as she picked it up, as the tip of her brush turned pink, and each time she attacked, she fired off a wide spread of fire-balls. Popol and Boki picked up the power-up as well, using it to fight off the enemies ahead, before reaching a set of platforms hanging over a bed of spikes.
"Looks like we don't want to fall here." Popol remarked.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine, I have strong feet…. Although it'll still hurt…" Boki tried to assure the group, although her confidence wavered at the end.
The trio nodded in agreement to each other, as they hopped platform to platform, before several of the yellow drones tried to reach them, only for them to make mistimed jumps that caused them to hit the spikes, as they exploded on contact. Boki sniggered a little, finding the situation humorous, as Popol and Heiwa did their best not to laugh outright at the act, before proceeding along and destroying the enemies, and heading to the next area.
Suddenly, they found themselves in another square-shaped arena, as the Yoggval had returned, scanning the new area.
"Here we go again…" Boki remarked, as the Yoggval turned dark grey with orange flame-like trails.
Polymorphic Invader
Yoggval (Industrial Mode)
The Yoggval then began to strike the area, as the ramming charges from the Yoggval actually started to affect the nearby area, as whenever it struck a wall or a part of the floor, it would be engulfed in pillars of flames, which the young fighter had to jump away from to avoid. What's more, the Yoggval was launching mines itself, as they exploded into crosses of ring-like projectiles.
Heiwa immediately picked up a Split power-up, as well as an Remote power-up, dropped by the Yoggval, and immediately had her brush-tip change to represent the new power-up combination, as she launched pink fireballs into the air, as she detonated them when the Yoggval was near them, causing a spray of fire-balls to pelt it hard.
Boki then used a remote bomb herself to finish the machine, as it exploded into bits, as they moved onto the next area, which was a lab-like area.
"So, the bad guys have an actual secret lab? That's how you know they're evil!" Boki quipped.
"Well, I'd say it has more to do with the fact they're synthesising extremely dangerous chemical weapons here." Savant answered back.
"That's… that's terrible!" Heiwa exclaimed with horror.
"Indeed. And besides, little Boki, I have a secret lab, so what does that make me?" Savant responded back.
"It makes you a huge nerd, meow!" Boki chuckled.
The group then encountered some robots with shields and lab-coats, as Popol destroyed one, causing it to drop a power-up with the symbol of a chemical flask, as he picked it up, as his spear turned radioactive green.
"Huh? What's this now?" Popol remarked, before he then swung his spear at one of the nearby robots, as it created a chemical explosion that tore the robot apart. "Woah, so this makes my spear blow things apart! That's awesome!"
Popol then traversed the stage, as his spear actually created a more powerful explosion when he charged up his attack, as he figured out when he slammed a robot with one fully charged thrust, as it created an explosion large enough to take out all the robots in a fairly large area. He then finished the area, as they moved to the next area, as Popol pouted, losing the power-up in the process.
"What's with the oil in this place, anyways?" Boki asked Savant again. "Nobody really uses it as a fuel anymore, right?"
"While that may be true on Aisnoda, since we have access to abundant wind and nuclear power, there are still some uses for combustible fuels."
"Yeah, like using it to blow up my enemies!" Boki cheerfully stated.
"...Just make sure you don't blow yourself or your friends up in the process, Boki." Savant answered back. "As for you, little kitsune, you should also be carefully to fire anything in the oil, as your fire-balls, no matter what property they attain, will still trigger them."
Heiwa merely nodded gently, as the area seemed to be a hallway filled with a pool of oil, as Heiwa heeded the advice well, using the oil to carefully blow the enemies with the help of Boki and Popol, as they managed to reach the end of the area fairly unscathed.
The following area was another large one, as they fought several kinds of familiar enemies, as Popol managed to get a Cyclone, Wave and Split, to get a colour mix from the three power-ups, as well as his thrusts throwing icy cyclones through the entire stage, piercing through walls and hitting the enemies behind them, as it helped him destroy the majority of the robots in the area.
The group found themselves in another area, as the enemies there were glowing with a silver chrome shade, as the group tried to attack them, although their attacks were becoming ineffective.
"What the? We're not even hurting them at all!?" Popol exclaimed, as he tried to add some more effort to break the robots, only to get pelted by a frog bomb which knocked him back. "That's not fair!"
"Look, up there!" Boki exclaimed, as the group decided to ignore the enemies for the time-being, as they found a power-up dispenser, which dropped power-ups that had a prismatic five-star emblem on them.
When the group collected these power-ups, they gained the same chrome colouring as the enemies, as the group admired the new-found power. They then used it to traverse through various hazards, as they plinked harmlessly off them, all while laughing with glee, as they destroyed the enemies in another part of the area, before they were moved to the next area.
"...I guess that was pretty fun. Did you see that though? They tried to hurt me with everything they had, and it did nothing to us! This new power is great, if only I had it in other times, then Siege would definitely be proud of me!" Popol blurted out with pure excitement.
"I know! Too bad this is just a simulation though…" Boki agreed, as she deflated slightly.
"But I'm sure that you'll be able to get some similar powers in the future! Don't lose hope, Boki!" Heiwa exclaimed.
Boki smiled back, as the next area was a obstacle course, as they used a power-up to dive-kick on gelatinous creatures to get through the high gaps, and destroyed a target at the end, as it was a fairly fun breather through all of the fighting they have done.
After they completed the enemy-less area, they were sent back into the fight, as the next area had chemical robots, as well as a new slew of enemies, although they were able to find some invincibility power-ups, and used a mix of powers to defeat the robots, and move onto the next area, which was a large arena for a boss-fight.
"The exit to this chemical plant is just beyond this room." Savant informed the trio. "From there, it's a direct path to the factory."
"That means they have something big guarding the exit, then! Here we go again…!" Boki remarked, as she raised her guard for whatever is to come.
The combination robot appeared before them, before melding a mix of gelatinous, mermaid, frog, doll, and drone robots, as well as some energy crystals, as it created a large bird-like robot with large mechanical wings and a glass-like head with menacing eyes and purple crackling energy inside it
Miasma Monstrosity
Kumalo
The flying robot then fired off purple eye-beams at them, forcing them to jump across the arena, as they also had to deal with the laser drones that it was summoning to assist it. It then swept across the entire field quickly with a green beam, as it caused explosions wherever it hit, and then using a mix of the two attacks, while leaving behind glowing purple radiation wherever it flew.
Boki quickly grabbed a Plasma power-up from destroying one of the laser drones, and a Bounce power-up, using them to fire ricocheting laser-beams around the arena, as they struck the large robot from various angles, as Popol did the same, as he then charged his spear, and fired off a lasting beam of blue energy that reflected off the arena, as the two-pronged attack managed to weaken it severely, as it dropped a chemical power-up that Heiwa took.
She then immediately flicked her brush up, as it launched a large flask with flaming orange liquid, as it hit the machine, creating an explosive burst of flames that tore the machine apart.
"Yeah!" Heiwa exclaimed with triumph, with Boki and Popol shouting in agreement, before the entire area began to flash red and a klaxon was heard. "Aah! What's happening!?"
"They activated the self-destruct! Get out of here!" Savant told the group, as the area began to explode, causing the group to break into a sprint. "There's an exit to the right! Hurry!"
The trio managed to reach the exit, which was a passage down, as they dived into it, just as the entrance exploded above them, covering it, and leaving them in darkness.
"THE ENTANMAS HAS ESCAPED UNDERGROUND. BARRICADE THE TUNNELS IMMEDIATELY!"
"DO NOT ALLOW HER TO REACH THE FACTORY!"
