Here's part 2 of the fight!
Sorry this took long, Destiny 2 has been a major strain on my writing schedule.
Review time!
Sullimike23: Let's hope they can keep it together when he reveals that he created the Ultrabots.
Noob6: I took your advice and did just that. Thanks a ton!
Imperial warlord: Thanks.
OMAC001: Let's hope they do!
King Rocket: Thanks for letting me know that I kept them OP for the right reasons. I did mention in the authors notes of chapter 10 that they would run on oil and a condensed plasma reactor.
You are right about Extor but I'm going to give a good reason on why he made them and once that happens, you will see him in a more sympathetic light. As for the Ultrabots unintentionally killing each other, read on and find out…
Dino Knight: I bet you're happy to see that your ideas made it into my story!
I understand where you're going with me offing the villains but when I mean unnecessary deaths, I meant the main cast; specifically Night Raid. And I get that the deaths of a majority of the villains was wish fulfillment but after the numerous atrocities they committed in the manga, they all had it coming.
Anyway, glad to hear you liked the chapter and Extor will appear in the future, as well as giving him a bigger backstory. Not sure if I will add Scaramouche, I can't seem to visualize him as a human.
MysticSpider: Wut?
Strike the Blood: This chapter will be a tad bit longer. Also, I agree with Susanoo but many people have been asking me to use Leone instead so I might just go with that.
Junior VB: That was already made apparent and don't lose faith in Night Raid yet.
Pacer287: I totally understand where you are coming from. The original episode this was based went exactly like that and I merely just adapted it. With that being said, thank you for your opinion.
Arkham Knight: I wanted to showcase just how outmatched Night Raid is and I enjoyed making the Ultrabots completely psycho-crazy.
Idea Guy: I agree! You bring up great points about them! This will probably only happen in the miniseries I will make.
Story Artist: Relax, that won't happen and the pairings will be Tatsumi x Mine, Wave x Kurome, Najenda x Lubbock and Leone x Run.
Writing Warrior: Thanks and there will be 4 parts to this fight so you will get to see just how deadly they all are.
The Question: All of that will be revealed in future chapter.
Game Creation: This will be a 4 part story as well as several mini series featuring the characters from the show!
Red John: I'm so sorry it took so long. This chapter will be longer!
R98:LMFAO!
Samurai Jack and Akame ga Kill belong to their respective owners. I do not own either of them.
Chapter 10
An Unstoppable Enemy (Part 2)
KYOROCH
CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG
Sheele's Extase and Army Slayer's massive greatsword repeatedly clashed against one another as errant sparks flew around them. Neither of them gained any ground, they were glued to the spot as the sounds of metal striking against metal echoed throughout the empty street.
While Sheele may be a total airhead when it came to just about everything in general, she was smart enough to know that things weren't looking good at all. For one thing, she had been lucky enough to land a couple of hits upon #1 but it didn't seem to do any harm to it or even leave a scratch. Extase was capable of cutting through almost anything so why wasn't it working against this thing?
Speaking of which, the creature she was fighting showed remarkable swordsmanship despite the cumbersome size of its greatsword. While it may look a giant slab of iron, it was capable of wielding it like it was a small stick. That meant that her opponent was freakishly strong.
What made it more dangerous was the fact that its weapon was just like Extase: one hit would be instant death. But the main difference was that while Extase couldn't kill the monster, its sword most certainly would kill Sheele.
Seeing something dart past #1 and straight towards her, Sheele jumped out of the way and onto the roof of a house in the nick of time as multiple black coils sliced apart the cobblestone path she was previously standing on. Looking down from atop the house, Sheele saw the dust clear to reveal #1's "friend". This one had 20 whips replacing both of its arms that ended in deadly looking scythe blades. Army Slayer and Whiplash turned their heads around to stare up at their target. Whiplash flung its tentacles straight at Sheele who quickly leapt onto another rooftop as its blades cleaved the structure in two!
Army Slayer leapt up to where Sheele and began swung its greatsword at her; she barley had enough time to duck as the blade swung right over her head! The two of them clashed once again but Whiplash took advantage of the currently occupied assassin and shot out his whips towards her! The stabbed into her legs, sides and arm, causing her to shriek in pain! Dodging another swing from #1, Sheele quickly yanked the blades out of her body parts and jumped down the building.
She hurriedly limped through the streets, clutching her bleeding side while also noting that taking #10's blades out of her had also cut her hands. Badly.
She made it to a courtyard with a fountain and started to catch her breath. Looking behind her, she mentally cursed herself as she saw that she had left behind a trail of blood. This meant that those things were probably seeking her out right now. Slipping off her sleeves, Sheele wrapped one of them around her waist to cover the wound on her side while tearing the other one in two to create makeshift bandages for the cuts on her palms. She heard something coming and she whirled around to see #1 standing on top of a building a few feet away from her.
Sheele quickly got into action and readied Extase. Army Slayer casually hopped down to the street and slowly walked towards her.
SKRASH
Whiplash suddenly thundered straight through the building behind Army Slayer and right at Sheele! Its tentacles flailed around menacingly, slicing apart anything near it! It launched all of its whips straight at her but Sheele managed to sidestep to the right and swung Extase downward, right on top of the tentacles.
But to her shock and frustration, it didn't cut through them despite how thin they were! The whips instantly coiled around Extase and began pulling Sheele towards Whiplash! Sheele saw #1 tightly gripping its greatsword and started to run towards her!
Sheele's mind began to race; trying to figure out how to get out of this. An idea suddenly popped up in her head (the first good one she's had in a while)!
Using all of her strength, Sheele began swinging Extase around in a circle before #10 could react! #1 swung its great sword at her but Sheele anticipated this and swung #10, who was still clinging onto Extase, right into the path of its sword! Army Slayer's greatsword smashed right into Whiplash's midsection which created a shower of sparks that briefly blinded Sheele! Whiplash was sent crashing into a deserted shop as Sheele regained her balance and focused on Army Slayer.
It was currently looking at the building where its comrade had crashed into and Sheele took advantage of its distraction. She swung Extase at #1's hand and it knocked the greatsword of its grasp! Sheele opened up Extase and thrusted her Teigu forward so that #1's head was now in between of the razor-sharp shears.
With the killing blow in her grasp, Sheele closed down on the handles and the blades clamped down on #1's neck!
CHUNK
Army Slayer's head still remained attached to its shoulders! Sheele gasped in shock and confusion. Over and over again the closed the shears down upon its neck but it had literally no effect! The sharpest parts of Extase were literally unable to cut through its metal!
CHUNK CHUNK CHUNCK CHUNK
Army Slayer grabbed the shears and forcible shoved the Teigu away from it, causing Sheele to trip. He went up to her, grabbed the sides of her head a head-butted her with the force of a sledgehammer!
THWACK
The hit broke her nose and sent her crashing to the ground as Army Slayer turned around and went over to reacquire its greatsword. Clutching her bloodied nose, Sheele saw #1 pick up its weapon and turn towards her with those ghastly eyes. She held up Extase and activated her Trump Card, creating a flood of blinding light that shone throughout the whole area.
Knowing that she couldn't possibly defeat these things, Sheele knew that she and everyone had to retreat. If her Teigu couldn't cut through them then that meant the rest of her team was fighting a losing battle. As Sheele prepared to flee while her foe was blinded, she took comfort in the fact that she was able to trick one of the creatures into killing one of their own. There was no way it could still be alive-
SHULRK
A bladed whip shot out and ripped open Sheele's left cheek!
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGKKKKKKKKKKK!"
A bloodcurdling shriek forced its way through Sheele's mouth as she tightly held her hand against her profusely bleeding face! Mind-numbing pain permeated her face; Sheele could barely keep it together! She then saw #1 rush towards her, seemingly immune to the blinding light of Extase!
Sheele barley had enough time to lift her Teigu up to guard against its strike. However, there was much more force behind the swing, so much that it sprained her wrist and sent her crashing through a building! She tumbled across the street as Extase landed inches away from her head. She weakly got to her feet, blood streaming down her clothes as she grabbed Extase but then jerked her hand away when searing pain shot through her wrist.
She looked back the building behind here to see #1 walk through the remains and glare right at her. Sheele grasped Extase with her other hand as she tried her hardest to ignore the searing pain on the side of her face. But to her horror, she saw #10 walk up next to #1 completely unharmed!
Sheele was now deathly afraid. She had never felt this utterly terrified before in her entire life. These things were unstoppable and if she and the rest of her friends didn't get out of her now, they would end up just like their victims. As Army Slayer and Whiplash slowly made their way towards her, Sheele was chillingly reminded of Prince Numa Seika's dying words…
"They are demons sent straight from hell."
"SHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!" Leone yelled as she ran through the streets of the ruined desert city! Ripper followed closely behind her while Tengu and Singularity soared above their prey. The two of them dive-bombed the hapless assassin!
Tengu dove down and swiped at Leone with its kukris; she managed to duck down and make a sharp turn to her left, heading into an alley. Singularity spotted her from the air and fired a volley of laser blasts at Leone from its fingertips, its four support drones doing the same.
Leone ran as fast as she could while dodging the shots and sprinted out of the alleyway using her enhanced speed, thanks to Lionel. Ripper followed closely behind her and lashed out with its curved wristclaws. Leone dodged the swipes but then lost her footing and #2 stabbed her straight through her shoulders!
"AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHH!" Leone cried out as she grabbed #2 by its hands and forcefully pulled out the claws. She slashed it across the face with her own but they shattered like glass against its metal skin! Leone winced in pain as #4 swooped in and swung its kukris downward at her.
She leapt out of the way and punched #4 square in the face but she only ended up breaking her knuckles! Tengu and Ripped launched into a barrage of attacks with their weapons. Leone dodged as fast as she could but these things were quicker and she started taking serious damaged from them. Her body was now covered in deep, bloody lesions and her regenerative factor was having trouble trying to heal her wounds.
Ripper and Tengu suddenly leaped way from Leone as Singularity landed to the ground in from of her. It aimed its laser fingers at her while it's drones started targeting her. Leone darted to her right and into a bar.
PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW
The laser blasts ripped through the bar like it was made of tissue paper! The entire establishment was being riddled with holes as numerous tables, chairs and alcoholic beverages were reduced to splinters. Leone ducked down as low as she could and covered her head. It went on for several minutes with seemingly no end in sight until it suddenly stopped. Leone heard the creatures leave and slowly peeked over the counter to see that they were gone.
Leone breathed a sigh of relief and sunk back behind the counter; blood dribbling from her wounds. Leaning up against it, she felt anger rise though her but resisted the urge to slam her fist into the floor, fearing that it may alert her opponents.
What the hell were these monsters?! In the beginning she thought that her enhanced strength would be enough to take them down but every time she hit them, she wound up breaking her fingers or her knuckles. Kicking them certainly didn't work either. She almost ended up snapping her leg in two!
Then things really started to go south when they all ganged up on her. She couldn't take them on all at the same time since that would be tantamount to suicide. The best thing to do was to try and pick one off before moving on to the next one.
She could hear the sounds of battle echoing throughout the empty city; a sign that her friends were still fighting them but there was no way to tell if Night Raid was winning or not. Feeling her cuts close themselves up and the bones in her hand pop back into place, Leone prepared to head out and hunt down the creatures when they were alone.
Before she got up, she noticed a bottle of booze lying near her. She tried to resist the urge to take a swig but temptation finally kicked in and she grabbed the bottle. She pulled off the cork and took a long gulp. Feeling the alcohol pour down her throat and soothe her nerves, quietly sighed in content.
Her animal instincts suddenly started to alert her of extreme danger and before she could react, she heard a light thumping sound and a shadow loom over her. She slowly looked up to see #2 standing on top of the counter and looming right over her!
Ripper raised its claw over its head. "LAST CALL."
It swung its claw downward but Leone managed to dodge it in time! #2 repeatedly swung and thrusted it's claws at her with deadly precision! Leone dodged the swipes as much as she could but knew that she couldn't keep it up for long. Both of its claws shout towards her face and she grabbed #2 by the arms before they could pierce her.
However, #2 proved to be stronger than Leone as it slowly began to overpower her. As the implements of murder inched closer to her face, Leone spotted a box of matches sitting behind the counter on a small shelf. Noticing that the floor was slick with alcohol as well as multiple barrels of it on the wall behind her, Leone heaved #2 over her head and slammed it into the barrels!
She grabbed the matches, jumped over the counter, lit one up and tossed it and the box at #2!
FWOOOOOOSH
The entire back end of the bar went up in flames, obscuring #2's body. Leone breathed a sigh of relief as the flames started to make its way up to the ceiling. As she turned around to exit the bar, #4 flew straight through the doors with its kukris drawn! Leone barely had enough time to duck down and dodge its swing and follow up with a flip kick to its face but ending up nearly shattering her foot!
Undeterred, Tengu unfurled its' wings and flapped a gust of wind towards her, knocking her off her feet and into a support beam. Leone managed to rebound herself off the beam and rocket towards #4 who shielded itself with its wings just as she collided with them in a flying dropkick. Leone hopped off the wings and got into a fighting stance just as #4 did the same. Just as Leone was about to attack, she saw #2 emerge from the fire unscathed!
"OH, COME ON! Haven't you guys ever heard of a handicap?!" Leone exasperated.
"HANDICAPS ARE IRRELEVANT."
A red light started to emanate from outside as Singularity started to charge up its energy beam to a fever pitch. Its palms glowed brightly as the targeting systems in its eyes locked on to Leone. She saw #5 aim at her from the entrance and she bolted toward the window behind her and crashed through it just as two conical beams of crimson energy erupted from Singularity's palms and tore through the bar like a hot knife through butter!
VEEEEEEEEEEWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP
Noticing that it missed, Singularity redirected its aim at Leone who ran as fast as she could while the beams of energy cut through the establishment and went after her! As Leone began to flee for her life, the beams cut straight through several buildings as #5 rotated its body clockwise to track her and guide the beams toward her.
Despite Leone's enhanced speed, thanks to Lionel, the beams were starting to near dangerously closer to her. As she looked around for an escape and she spotted a well in the middle of the street just head of her! She made a beeline to the well dove right into just as the beam sept over her head, nearly taking off her animal ears and tail!
She splashed down into the water all the way at the bottom and when she resurfaced, she swam towards a network of tunnels that she could traverse in order to get back up to the city and think of another strategy.
Ripper, Tengu and Singularity looked down the well and then at each other.
"WE SHOULD PURSUE."
"NEGATIVE. I HAVE CALCULATED AN ALTERNATE SOLUTION."
Singularity levitated into the air while Ripper and Tengu stood back. Channeling energy from his palms, fingers and support drones, created a massive ball of extremely volatile energy and lobbed it straight down the well!
BAAAAAAAAAAWHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
A whole section of the city swelled up and a massive explosion ripped apart the area, sending Leone hurtling through the sky! Singularity flew up to Leone, clasped its fists together and brought them down upon her, slamming her back down to the earth! She crashed through the roof of a restaurant and left a crater in the wooden floor!
"Urgh…." Leone groaned as she struggled to get up. She had several broken of bones, she was covered in burns from the explosion and she was in a great deal of pain. She grabbed a nearby table for support and got herself up. She looked at her wounds to see them healing but due to the situation, they were not healing quickly enough. "C'mon….c'mon!" She growled impatiently.
SKRASH
Singularity smashed through the ceiling and set its sights on her! Leone's heart skipped a beat and she swiveled around to her opponent. Singularity raised its hands up but instead of firing lasers at her, numerous chairs, tables and debris started to float around the room! Before she could even register how it was able to do that, she was pummeled from all sides by the objects!
She was hit by chairs and tables that slammed into her body and face and sharpened pieces of debris threatened to spear into her chest but she smashed them apart with her bare fists before they could, the same went for the chairs and tables.
Singularity guided its hand over to the kitchen area and a swarm of kitchen knives closed in on her! Leone grabbed a table to shield herself and the blade embedded themselves into the table. Leone flung it towards #5 where it shattered upon impact but Leone tackled the creature to the ground!
She straddled #5 and began furiously punching it in the face as hard as could while using as much strength as she could get from Lionel. Unfortunately for her, her blows did nothing to #5. It wasn't even attempting to defend itself! Leone's blows started become faster and stronger but began breaking her fingers and hands in the process.
Leone ignored the pain in her hands as she continued to hammer away at her emotionless opponent, becoming more and more angrier with each fruitless hit.
"WHY! WON'T! YOU! JUST! DIE?!" Leone raged!
Suddenly, Singularity's four support drones smashed through the windows and riddled her back with their lasers! Leone hissed in pain and then felt #5's hand clamp around her throat! It stood up while keeping an iron grip on her neck and hoisted her high into their air with one hand, leaving her legs and horribly mangled hands dangling.
"YOU CANNOT KILL THAT WHICH HAS NO LIFE."
WHOCK
#5 punched Leone straight through there entrance where she crashed into the street. She staggered to her feet and ran as fast as she could away from the diner but #4 swooped in out of nowhere and hacked her arms off at the elbows!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGHHH!"
As she screamed in agonizing pain, #2 somersaulted off a rooftop, landed in front of Leone and began viscously stabbing her in the chest with its claws!
SHUK SHUK SHUK SHUK SHUK
Ripper then removed the claws from Leone and slashed her throat! As she gargled on her own blood, #5 burst through the building and fired two blasts of energy from its palms! They bored straight through her chest and stomach with so much force that it propelled her into a butcher shop! The building collapsed in on itself and crumbled into rubble. The Ultrabots stood a few feet away from the destroyed shop. They could still detect life signs….
SMASH
A yellow, beastly fished shot through the debris and Leone emerged completely unharmed! Her arms had grown back and there wasn't a single scratch on her. She looked somewhat more muscular now and she held a large slab of steak in her hand.
"Surprised?" She asked them rhetorically. "If there's anything I'm confident in, it's my tenacity and stubbornness." She then took a huge bite out of the steak and finished off the rest in one bite.
"My Trump Card can really help me out in a pinch but it can receive a boost in regeneration and strength when I eat other animals. Luckily for me, you dumbasses had the misfortune of launching me into some prime meat I can chow on." Leone boasted as she cracked her knuckles. "Now you get fight against a full blooded lion!"
"YOUR HEAD."
"What?"
"CAN YOU REGENERATE YOUR HEAD IF IT IS DESTROYED?"
"Ummm…..no."
They began to advance towards her, their weapons at the ready. Leone's bravado was extinguished as she began to slowly back away. This fight was going to happen the exact same way. She knew that her beefed up strength still wouldn't do jack shit against whatever these things were made of. She really wanted to turn tail, grab everyone and get the hell out of doge as fast as she could.
But Leone knew that wasn't an option. These creates had to die for every life they took, including every friend she made back in her neighborhood. And yet, she knew that wasn't going to happen either.
"F*** my life…" Leone muttered as she prepared for another one sided fight.
To be continued…
Looks like things are really starting to go south! Will Lubbock, Chelsea, Bulat and Tatsumi fare better than the others?
I decided to give Sheele and Leone some much needed touch-ups during their fight. One example is that I made Sheele a little bit smarter and more aware of her opponents.
The biggest adjustment I made was for Leone. A changed up her regeneration Trump Card so that it would slow down a little if she was getting continually pummeled. The part where she instantly regenerates by eating animal meat was based on her fight against Dorothea in chapter 60 of the manga. I added in the strength buff myself.
I will be taking a short break to work on at least one or two chapters of RWBY: Gun Sonata. Fear not; you guys won't have to wait half a year till the next update.
Don't forget to review but please don't flame.
