Anya POV:
Our group proceeded to shut down two more different Eternal Engines and also defeat Turbulent Mai in the process, who was just as sadistic as she was when I was first introduced to her by Szabo... when she was still contained in a capsule with the rest. Even if I met someone once, there was barely a chance that I'd forget their names or faces. And once our group returned from turning off the third Eternal Engine, we were jumped by none other than Heat Wave Sai, whose body was incredibly large and fierce, having four mechanical arms, a belt filled with rechargeable bombs, and a constant angry expression on his face.
"Oooh! It's the traitorous android that Szabo mentioned! Traitors to Master Nene make me SOO MAD!" Sai exclaimed, just as hotheaded as always.
"I never betrayed Nene, Heat Wave Sai. He kidnapped me and converted me into a monster against my will! I never asked for it and I don't ever want to think of him as the one who created me! I was born in Noluta and that's how it will always be, no matter what he says! Now let me show you why you do not mess with Anya Sinda!" I exclaimed at him as I summoned forth Mystic Mermaid and used Flarus on him, making sure to aim at the bombs on his left side, Sai gasping as the bombs exploded and it left a gigantic hole in his left side.
"Rgh... such power..." Sai groaned as he tried to hold onto his left side with one of his arms, but Zola had already closed the distance and commanded the Killer Bat to slash off the arm he tried to use, grabbing onto his other arm on the same side and slamming him into the wall. "Guh... im... possible..." he gasped before his entire body exploded soon after.
"Very possible. Let's continue. Only 3 more Eternal Engines left to go. We need to hurry before Nene starts to attack the castle," I said.
"Agreed," Jiro said as we continued down the hall and took out some more robots along the way, not stopping until we got to the next Eternal Engine. And once we got it disabled, we were surprised that Raging Kesu hadn't appeared yet. But then we continued down the halls some more until we came upon something the others were hesitant to try out.
"What's this?" Marumaro asked.
"This is a warp device that is used to get to the next Eternal Engine room. All of us should get on it at the same time," I said as we all got onto the device and we then warped to the correlating pad in the room with the Eternal Engine in question. After proceeding down the stairs, we were about to get to the engine control panel before a certain robot crashed the party. And who could it be other than Raging Kesu, her appearance making the others look at her questionably, only because she liked to hide her sharp knives.
"Hello there, AM-" she was about to say before I smacked her with a bitch slap from Mystic Mermaid.
"THAT IS NOT MY NAME AND YOU DAMN WELL KNOW IT!" I exclaimed at her angrily.
"Oh yes, how could I forget. That is the name Master Nene gave you after he converted you. I must say, however, I never expected you to retain independence, young Anya. But it is of no matter. I have been told by Szabo that you and your friends must be killed before you were to succeed. Which of you should I assassinate first?" Kesu smiled as she showed the knives inside of her wrist cuffs and the others gawked at them.
"You will be the one to be eliminated, Kesu. We already handed the other Generals' asses to them on a golden platter, and we'll do the same to you... like this," I smiled widely as I then forced my powers into the metal underneath her and she gasped as I sent a giant flume of metal to rise in a pointed spire to skewer her body from right below her.
"Y-You... have magic... how...?" Kesu asked as she was still kicking, but on death's door.
"I've had it with me long before I got kidnapped by Nene. Just let go. It will all be over soon," I said to her, Kesu looking at me with a glare before her body failed and exploded, me letting down the spire soon after.
"Again, plus 25 badass points," Shu smiled.
"Much obliged. Let's take out the next Eternal Engine," I said as I pushed the button on the control panel and it turned off, me also looking at the camera for the outside area connected to it and gasped. Nene was beginning to rain down explosives into the cliff side of Castle Jibral!
"Okay, now we need to split up. From here, the warp pad on the right will lead to the final engine. The one to the left leads to the Loading Docks. I can sense Nene's life force is there. Zola, you go turn off the last engine. Once you do so, the warp pad up the stairs there should lead to an emergency escape hatch to the top of the castle. We'll take care of Nene," I said to her.
"Understood. You be careful," Zola said to us.
"And you take care as well," I said to her, though I had to be sure not to tell her my suspicion towards her comment earlier. How the hell did she know that the ship in question was a Mechat if she had never seen one before? It made me curious, but I still put my trust in her that she would defend Jibral.
Shu POV:
Once our group managed to get to the loading docks, we were shocked to see Nene was there and he was trying to escape in a flying ship with Szabo blocking our path to him. "Master Nene! You won't get away with this!" Anya exclaimed at him, her coding making her hiss when she had to call him Master again.
"Hmm... It seems my selection... wasn't all for naught..." Nene simply smiled sadistically as he got into the ship slowly while Szabo blocked our path.
"Let me through, Szabo! Nene has to pay for these horrific crimes!" Anya exclaimed at him.
"Hmph. You know as well as I do that his excellency is doing the right thing," Szabo said, me growling at that while Anya simply sent out Mystic Mermaid and bitch slapped him across the face.
"Is murdering innocent people the right thing to do?! Is freezing all of my village's residents and not even bothering to tell me the right thing to do?! Is poisoning an entire village just for laughs THE FUCKING RIGHT THING TO DO?!" Anya exclaimed angrily as Kluke got mad too and, just as soon as Szabo pushed a button for the flying ship to shoot off into the distance, Kluke then did the same thing she did before.
"CORPOREAL ATTACK!" Kluke exclaimed as she let out the Phoenix from her shadow and this time, instead of producing lava, she hopped on the giant bird's back and told it to slice apart Szabo's metal body with its talons. We were all in shock when Szabo was reduced to a pile of scrap metal within seconds.
"Okay, now we need to go after Nene. I'll call for a Mechat from this Loading Dock and then we can use it to go after Nene," Anya said.
"This time, I'm taking the wheel," Shu said.
"Fine, do as you wish. I'm going to be flying myself. I'm going to try to take out Nene's ship my sheer force if I must," Anya frowned as she placed a hand on her chest and sighed deeply. "Activating flight mechanics... rocket launchers engage," Anya said as we saw a Mechat come to the docking area and we saw that her feet actually morphed into jet thrusters and her shoulders gained two large appendages that had numerous homing missiles on them! "Forget 25 badass points, this is plus 100!" Kluke smiled.
"You guys get in the Mechat. I'm going to fly," Anya said as she jetted off and we soon got in the Mechat. Once I turned it on with my magic, I focused and we jetted out and started to follow Anya to Nene's location. His ship soon appeared on radar and Anya proceeded to attack Nene with some magic on her person as well as the rocket launchers on her shoulders, Nene looking to be taking the heat before he decided to try and send missiles at Anya, which she shot down with some machine gun blasts from her fingertips. We continued to trail Nene until, eventually, he disappeared into the clouds, Anya looking shocked as she then proceeded to the Mechat and boarded it as well.
"DAMN IT! He hid his life force from being detected the moment he got in those clouds! He's going to be escaping to the north... GOD DAMN THAT MADMAN!" Anya exclaimed as she fired her finger guns into the air with a shout before Jiro grabbed her shoulders and she seemed to try to calm down.
"Keep it together, Anya... we'll get him back for this, I promise... Shu, take us back to Jibral," Jiro said.
"Right," I said as I turned the ship around and headed back to Jibral. And once we did so, we were all smiles when we saw that everyone was cheering at the Flying Fortress sinking into the sea below us.
"We took out his Flying Fortress... but the battle is not yet over," Anya said.
"Oh come on, Anya. We can at least see if we can enjoy ourselves with a celebration," Kluke smiled.
"Celebration? Yay! I can show the Devee Dance of Celebration there!" Marumaro smiled from below deck.
"Oh... oh what the hell, okay. We can have some spare time for a celebration. I'm sure Jibral will be glad to have us," Anya smiled after cooling down, her guns seeming to be hotter than her mind was right now from all the bullets she used.
