Here's an early Christmas gift to you all! Happy Holidays!
I've been noticing a lot of people as of late asking me to add Scaramouche in my story. I have decided that I will incorporate him into my miniseries when I eventually get to it. He will be a humanoid Teigu just like Susanoo and they will both be rivals!
Also, I will have Leone meet the Scotsman. I think they have much better chemistry with each other, in terms of hot headedness and boisterous personality.
Review Time!
Pyromania101: More excitement heading your way!
SulliMike23: In more ways than you can imagine.
Junior VB: Thanks for the response.
Dino Knight: You're very welcome!
MysticSpider: Thanks!
Arkham Knight: I have made the Ultrabots be very sadistic in terms of personality. I think I made it work.
Strike the Blood: The purpose of this 4 part chapter is to showcase just how monstrously powerful they are.
King of Fans: good points but you see the results in the chapter below. I have OK'd the Scotsman and Scaramouche but I'm still debating whether or not to include the Daughters of Aku.
King Rocket: Relax dude, I was only taking a cue from the manga fight with Dorothea and I promise that whole cliché won't happen again.
Vitork: I share your opinion but Samurai Jack will not appear in this story. Still thinking about Ashi and the Daughters, though.
Guest #1: I guess you're rooting for the Ultrabots then?
NRG: THERE IS.
Colossalblackening: A good story but I'm not even close to his backstory yet so it's still up in the air. I have agreed to add him though!
Wayword son: An interesting concept but I'm not a big X-Men guy so it probably won't happen.
Red John: A very plausible situation and I like your theory! Liver and Esdeath will play a big part in this and I do have something very special in store for her. You also bring up a valid point: if this was "End of series Esdeath", she might've been able to take out at least two of them but would eventually be overwhelmed.
Akin2018: I'm glad you enjoy my story and I'm thinking about it.
Dark Avenger: I have something similar like that planned but I won't reveal it just yet.
Story Artist: Yeah, real dumb move on her part.
Jfazende5: It's also good to see someone who shares my opinion! I too am angry at Seryu but I do pity her somewhat and want to see her change. I've never been a fan of Kamen Rider nor do I have any interest in it but I'll try to check out the story.
Guest #2: It's here!
Akame ga Kill and Samurai Jack belong to their respective owners. I do not own either of them.
Chapter 11
An Unstoppable Enemy (Part 3)
KYOROCH
Lubbock was thrown through the walls like a ragdoll as he tumbled across the floor. Every part of his body hurt due to the nasty looking burns he had sustained in his fight against #13. He opened his eyes and was met with the interior of the building in flames and his eyes stung from the smoke. As he got up, coughing and trying his best to ignore the burning pain coursing through his skin, he saw #13 emerge from the wall he was thrown through. The metal monster was covered in flames and its hands were ablaze with deadly hellfire as it flowed from its hands like a waterfall. Firestarter raised its palms as it slowly made its way towards Lubbock, who was desperately searching for a way out of the burning building.
"IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT-"
"Let me guess: get out of the kitchen?" Lubbock tiredly interrupted, rolling his eyes.
"NO. DIE."
FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH
A jet of fire erupted from its palms but Lubbock managed to dive out a nearby window just as the flames engulfed the entire room. Lubbock fell to the ground below but he used Cross Tail to form a makeshift grappling hook that latched onto another building. Using the momentum of his swing, he was able to propel himself over the buildings in an arc until he safely landed into a marketplace-like area. He collapsed to his hands and knees in exhaustion and pain. Things were not going well.
No matter how hard he tried, Cross Tail couldn't do any kind of harm upon these things. He tried strangling it, stabbing it, trapping it, binding it but they all had no effect! Every single time the creature tore straight through the wires like they were made of paper or literally melted them with its flamethrower hands. He looked down at himself and saw the numerous, 1st degree burns on his arms, hands, legs and chest. He was lucky that he managed to put out most of the flames and prevented any prolonged burning but they were still very serious wounds that needed to be treated. He took off his badly burnt coat and chucked it away before checking the condition of Cross Tail.
Lubbock felt himself pale as he saw that the spool containing his string showed that he was dangerously low. For the longest time since he had Cross Tail he never ran out since the wires were tough than steel and could never be cut so he never had to worry about running out. But now he had very little string left thanks to the killer garbage can from hell. It was time to pull out his Trump Card: Realm Cutting Thread.
BWAFOOOOOOOOOOOOM
A thundering explosion caused Lubbock to look up just in time to see a fireball rise into the sky and plummet down straight towards him! He dove behind a nearby wall just as the fireball crashed down to the ground, creating a plume of flame that incinerated the whole marketplace. Lubbock peered over the wall and was greeted with the terrifying sight of the monster standing amongst a lake of fire, its head turning 360 degrees to look straight at him with its crimson eyes.
As it walked towards him, flames beginning to seep out from its palms, Lubbock began to unspool the strongest threads made from the Danger Beast that Cross Tail was created from. With his Trump Card at the ready, Lubbock rushed forward at his opponent just as it raised its hands and fired a stream of fire at him. Lubbock dodged to the left and slid underneath #13's legs while sending his wires coiling around all over its body while anchoring them to the ground and other buildings. He tugged the strings as the metal monster was suspended off the ground with its arms and legs outstretched.
Now that it had been successfully disabled by Realm Cutting Thread, Lubbock tightly gripped his strings and pulled with all his might. His Trump Card was hard enough to cut through the strongest metal and diced any unfortunate opponent into bloody confetti.
However…Realm Cutting Thread was having no effect!
Lubbock tugged on the threads as hard as he could but they weren't cutting through the creature! Lubbock mind went into full blown panic mode. He was now deathly afraid of this seemingly invincible demon that was impervious to all of his attacks.
"I DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO LAUGH. BUT IF I COULD…THIS WOULD BE IT."
Smaller jets of fire began to emanate from Firestarter's fingertips until they formed its signature weapon: the Burner Jet Claws. It wrenched its right hand free from its bindings and sliced Ream Cutting Thread into ribbons with its claws. Each swing burned right through the wires like a hot knife through butter. Firestarter was now free, standing tall with strands of severed string draped across its body as it focused on its terrified prey.
#13 Charged towards Lubbock who barely had enough time to form body armor made from Cross Tail's string. #13 swung its left hand upwards and sliced through the armor, leaving behind horrible claw marks and 2nd degree burns. Lubbock yelled out in pain just as Firestarter backhanded him, spinning him around. It then raked its claws across his back and slammed his foot into his side so hard that it broke one of Lubbock's ribs and sent him skidding through the streets.
The pain was almost unbearable for the assassin. Blood was seeping from his wounds and the burns were so intense that it felt like he had been branded multiple times nonstop. The sound of heavy footsteps made him turn his head around to see #13 charging towards him, ready to finish him off!
SMAAAAAAAASSSSHHH
Something barreled straight through a building next to the advancing monster and slammed into it, launching it several feet into the air and away from Lubbock. His jaw fell open at the sight of a building-sized Danger Beast right in front of him! It was a Rhinok: a rhinoceros Danger Beast that was known for being coated in nearly impenetrable bedrock, as well as its fierce temperament. Lubbock noticed that the beast was heavily wounded; its boulder-like hide was cracked in numerous places and bled in some other areas of its body. The Rhinok spotted Lubbock and instantly transformed into a Jackaleo in a puff of smoke!
The three horned, lion-like Danger Beast carefully scooped up Lubbock with its horn and plopped him on its back. Lubbock gripped onto its fur for dear life as it ran through the streets of Kyoroch at breakneck speed. Firestarter immediately gave chase as it covered itself in flames until it became a massive fireball, plowing through buildings as it pursued its targets relentlessly. The Jackaleo weaved through the tight streets in an attempt to lose the creature (while also making sure that it didn't accidently throw Lubbock off it's back) but it barreled through any obstacle in its path, quickly catching up with them!
Firestarter fired a larger jet of flames from his palms behind him and shot towards the Danger Beast like a comet! The Jackaleo made a hard right just in time as the monster smashed into a deserted garrison, destroying it in a massive explosion of searing flames. The Danger Beast jumped from rooftop to rooftop until it finally landed in Kyoroch's park area.
Lubbock hopped off the Jackaleo just as it collapsed to the ground, breathing and bleeding heavily. Lubbock was just about to inspect its wounds when a puff of smoke erupted around it and when it cleared, it was revealed to be none other than Chelsea!
Night Raid's master of disguise looked really bad. Her skin was ruptured in some places, she was covered in bruises, her right eye had swollen shut, and her dress was torn up and stained with her blood. Her iconic earmuffs had been snapped in half while her breathing was labored and painful.
"Oh, jeez! Chelsea!" Lubbock gasped as he rushed over to her. He slung her free arm of his shoulder and helped her up. "Are you-"
Lubbock was cut off by an annoyed look from Chelsea. "Alright. You're obviously not okay. That was a stupid question." He admitted.
"Glad you saw it coming." Chelsea remarked. "I take it you're fight's gone belly up?"
"You have no idea. Just what the hell are these things?!"
"I have no clue…listen; we have to get out of here. We're only going to get killed if we try to fight." Chelsea said urgently.
"I don't think that's even possible. These things are making sure we don't leave here alive. Mister 'Burn Everything That Moves' is making good on that promise." Lubbock said, albeit grimly.
"Really? Same goes for my opponent." Chelsea admitted.
"Which one?"
The sound of heavy footsteps altered them and the duo turned around to see another one of the monsters appearing them, this one was armed with a pair of technologically advanced Escrima Sticks and was numbered 9.
"That one."
At the same time, #13 rounded the corner of a ruined building and walked towards them, leaving a small trail of fire in its wake. Firestarter and Gemini began to slowly circle Lubbock and Chelsea like sharks as the duo stood back to back against their metal enemies.
"Okay, we need a plan. How did your fight go?" Lubbock asked as he brainstormed a strategy to kill these things. Any strategy.
"Not well. I've transformed into the most powerful Danger Beasts I know but I can't even so much as hurt these things." Chelsea revealed.
"Same with me. I used Realm Cutting Thread and it didn't do shit!" Lubbock groused. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. "That's it!" He exclaimed, snapping his fingers.
"What? You got a plan? Coming from you, it better be a good one."
"You can use Gaea Foundation to transform into them. That way you'll be able to use their own weapons against them!"
Chelsea turned her gaze to the ground. "I already tried that…I can't copy them."
"What!? Why?!"
"Gaea Foundation can only allow me to transform into a person or an animal. I can't transform into inanimate objects. These monsters aren't living beings." Chelsea explained with a hint of fear in her voice.
Lubbock went pale." What do you mean-"
He was cut off as their opponents charged at the two of them! Gemini went for Lubbock while Firestarter targeted Chelsea. Gemini swung its sticks downward at Lubbock who managed to dodge out of the way in time and used Cross Tail to create a bladed polearm to fight with. Chelsea transformed into an eagle and flew out of the way just in time as Firestarter swiped at her with its burning claws.
Undeterred, #13 fired a plume of fire upwards at Chelsea in an attempt to shoot her down. She was thankfully out of range but the sheer heat of the flames caused her feathers to spontaneously combust! She shrieked as she plummeted down to the ground, transforming back into her regular self as she fell. She hit the ground, fracturing her arm in the process and sending Gaea Foundation sliding away from her. Chelsea fought through the pain and creaked open her eyes to see #13 running towards her while covered in fire!
Chelsea scrambled towards her Teigu as fast as she could while frantically flinging her kunai at #13 but its flames were so hot that they literally melted before they could even touch it! Chelsea finally reached Gaea Foundation just in the nick of time as Firestarter leaped into the air and activated it's Burner Jet Claws, ready to strike her down. Feeling the heat getting closer and closer, Chelsea quickly went through her options and realized that there was one Danger Beast she hadn't transformed into yet.
Firestarter was just about to impale Chelsea with its claws while burning alive but a wave of razor sharp crystals erupted from the earth just as its target disappeared in a puff of smoke! The crystals hit Firestarter but only succeeded in pushing it back a distance, not harming it. It got itself up as the smoke began to clear.
The petite, auburn haired girl was replaced by Diamond Yeti! It was an ape-like Danger Beast with blue tinted skin, while fur and parts of its body was covered in solid diamond. Wrist blades made out of said crystal jutted out where the knuckles were, giving it a fearsome and nearly impenetrable appearance. Chelsea thumped her chest and let out a guttural roar as she embraced the Danger Beat's wild side. She charged towards #13 while it activated its flaming claws and prepared to engage in battle.
Lubbock parried each swing that came at him but it didn't make his situation any better. #9 was constantly putting him on the defensive, leaving him no means of hitting back. Each of its attacks was precise and relentless while Lubbock couldn't risk using up the last of Cross Tail's string. He dodged a horizontal swipe from #9 and hooked its left leg with his polearm and gave it a quick yank, causing the creature to topple to the ground.
Lubbock raised his polearm and swung downward at its head but Gemini blocked the blow with its sticks and slammed his foot into Lubbock's chest! He was sent skidding a distance from #9 as he began to cough up blood. The fight was finally starting to take its toll on him and he would last much longer. Lubbock groggily got and picked up his polearm just in time to see #9 running towards him. Lubbock readied himself but then, to his astonishment, he saw it split into another one!
The twins flanked around Lubbock in a pincer maneuver and charged at him from the left and right. Lubbock trusted his polearm at the one on the left but it went straight through it like it was a ghost! He was so distracted by what just happen that he didn't notice Gemini raise its stick and hit Lubbock across the back of the head! The mimic followed up by slamming its stuck down onto his collarbones and the two of them launched into a flurry of attacks, pulverizing Lubbock all over his body!
THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK
Lubbock could barely move or even defend himself as he was relentlessly pummeled from head to toe. For the coup de grace, Gemini and its mimic activated their weapons special function. Two small compartments opened up on each stick that would release microscopic bomblets as soon as it hit something. They spun around; hit Lubbock in the back with their escrima sticks and the bomblets deployed.
BAM BAM BAM BAM
Four small, but very powerful explosions ruptured Lubbock's skin, making him yell out in horrible pain as blood flowed from his wounds! Gemini holstered its right stick, grabbed Lubbock by the throat and flung him through the window of a building where he smashed through another window and tumbled through the street.
Lubbock was in horrible pain as he lay in the street, covered his bruises, burns and wounds. He was completely spent and unable to fight back with Cross Tail, which now only had very little thread left. A massive, deafening explosion caught his attention as a cloud of fire erupted into the city and something huge was launched from it and crashed down next to Lubbock! He barely had enough time to crawl away before whatever it was squashed him like a bug.
The smoke cleared, revealing a badly burnt Diamond Yeti with most of its diamond armor and wrist blades shattered or reduced to molten slag. Lubbock instantly knew that it was Chelsea. He hurriedly limped over to her as she transformed back in a puff of smoke. She was barely conscious as she winced in unbearable agony from her burns.
"Chelsea! Come on, stay with me!" Lubbock shouted as he took her in his arms. The only response Chelsea could muster as a pained whimper. Hearing the footsteps of the appearing monsters, Lubbock mustered all the strength he could and carried Chelsea in his arms as he ran through the empty streets to find a place to hide.
Trying his hardest to block out the pain, he prayed that Najenda and the others were having an easier time than the two of them did.
Bulat was not having an easy time.
The 100-Man Slayer fell to one knee as he clutched the bleeding gash in his side. Incursio did little to help him as most of the armor had been ripped off or shattered in some areas, exposing his unarmored areas. His halberd, Neuntote, had multiple chips and cracks along the blade. Bulat's breathing was coarse and labored while his heart-shaped pompadour was now a ragged mess.
Bulat looked ahead of him and saw two of his opponents standing at the end of the street while the 3rd one stood atop a nearby building behind them. Onslaught and Auger stood imposingly without budging an inch while Deadeye surveyed from above, its sniper rifle clutched firmly in its grasp. He gritted his teeth in frustration; these things were not only insanely powerful but they were utterly relentless.
Incursio's armor was no match against their weaponry and Neuntote couldn't inflict any kind of damage no matter how much force he put into his swings. To make matters worse, he could feel a lingering presence in the back of his mind that was slowly beginning to crawl up from the depths and threatened to overtake him. There was no doubt about it. That presence was none other than the infamous Danger Beast that Incursio was made from: Tyrant.
Bulat had always trained himself both physically and mentally to keep Tyrant from taking over. He knew the risks that came with using Incursio and there was always the chance that the beast would take control of him if he allowed the Teigu to evolve too much. There had to be another way to defeat these things without having to evolve.
Onslaught and Auger began to advance towards him while Deadeye took aim. Bulat stood up and began to analyze the situation. He couldn't fight #14 or #12 since their weapons had already decimated his armor and trying the fight them now would be a death wish. The biggest problem was #19. Its sniping skills were nothing to sneeze at and would make Mine jealous. It was methodically targeting the parts of his armor that had been weakened by its two companions and it would only be a matter of time before it went for his unarmored spots. If he could disarm or destroy its sniper rifle then he may, at the very least, be able to gain some kind of advantage over them.
In the blink of an eye, he bolted to the left and leapt up to the rooftops where ran across them with unparalleled speed. Auger opened fire with its explosive drill missiles while Onslaught let it loose with its photon orbs. Buildings were instantly blown to pieces and ripped apart but Bulat was one step ahead and he made a beeline towards #19.
Deadeye had Bulat right in its sight and pulled the trigger but Bulat moved to the left just as the round was about to hit him. Bulat was able to doge more shots from Deadeye s but then it fired a round at his kneecap the second he dodged, tearing away the armor and shattering the bone beneath it. This caused Bulat to stumble as he yelled out in pain which gave Onslaught enough time to launch multiple photon orbs at him.
The orbs adhered to his body and began to expand before they all exploded at the same time and sent Bulat crashing into a building so hard that it collapsed on top of him! As Auger and Onslaught moved in, Deadeye activated its infrared vision to better spot Bulat within the cloud of dust that had been kicked up when the building fell. Its eyes went from red to green as it chambered another round and took aim. But for some odd reason, Deadeye couldn't see Bulat anywhere.
VWOOOOOOSH
Deadeye rotated its head around to see the heavily battered and bloodied form of Bulat, his armor in broken tatters, rising into the air with Neuntote held high above his head!
"RRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!" He roared as swung his halberd down at its sniper rifle-
BRAKKA BRAKKA BRAKKA BRAKKA
What Bulat didn't know was that Deadeye was protected by two machine gun drones that were hiding out of sight until it was time to strike! The rounds hit him across his midsection and right arm that were unprotected. He fell landed at the feet of Deadeye and began coughing up blood as it cascaded from his wounds. Bulat looked up just in time to see #19 wield its sniper rifle like a bat and clubbed him across the face, breaking off half of his helmet!
The force of the blow sent him sailing off the building where #14 jumped up and drilled into his back, tearing away the armor and leaving a massive gash across his back. It then flung him towards #12 who threw a right hook at Neuntote, smashing it like glass! It followed up with a left hook into his side, its sharpened piston stabbing into his body and sending him careening through several buildings.
The former Imperial Officer was in excruciating agony as he lay on the ground, blood beginning to pool around him. His vision had become hazy but could clearly make out the monsters approaching a distance away. He looked down at Incursio which had reverted to its original sword form but it was now cracked in several places. As blood began to dribble from his mouth, Bulat realized that there was no other alternative left: he had to embrace Incursio and allow it to evolve if he was to ever destroy these things. There was a very big chance that Tyrant's influence could take over his body but if it meant ridding the world of these soulless demons, then so be it.
Bulat tightly gripped the hilt of Incursio and stabbed it into the ground. Onslaught, Auger and Deadeye approached their target with the intent to finish him off but then there sensors began to detect strange fluctuations coming from their target.
The air around Bulat started to shimmer as dust began to kick up around him. Suddenly, a semi-transparent physical manifestation of Tyrant appeared behind him!
'Incursio…your real body is still alive, isn't it? Bulat thought, seemingly mentally communicating with his Teigu. 'I don't care how agonizing it'll be, or how much pain I'll feel, or even if you take over my body. Give me all the strength you can possibly give me! I can't let anybody else or my friends die! Give me the power to obliterate these monsters once and for all! GIVE ME EVERYTHING!'
He let out a roar of fury as the manifestation of the Danger Beast enveloped him!
KAAAAAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
An invisible force radiated out of Bulat and sent Deadeye, Auger and Onslaught skidding away from him as smoke surrounded him. They recovered from the blast and stood back up, solely focused on the smokescreen. When the smoke cleared, Bulat and his Teigu had undergone a profound transformation.
His armor was the completely opposite of what it usually looked like. Instead of looking like a knight with a cape, it looked like a humanoid dragon wreathed in white, scaly plating that covered his whole body. His fingers and toes ended in bony claws while his helmet was a stylized black visor showing only his eyes and had two horns on the sides of the helmet. Neuntote had been regenerated, now appearing to be larger and sleeker.
But the most striking feature was Bulat's eyes. They had gone from a dashing dark blue to a crimson colored red with cross shaped pupils. Bulat flexed his hand and took note that the evolution had healed some of his wounds. It was enough for him but he did lose a lot of blood during the fight and he could feel the influence of Tyrant slowly creeping up on his psyche. But that didn't let it distracted him and he pointed Neuntote at his metallic adversaries who were reading their weapons.
"You've taken too many innocent lives…" Bulat glowered before launching himself at the creatures, an iron grip on his halberd and his eyes brimming with determination and fury!
"I WILL NOT LET IT GO ON!"
Tatsumi huddled down out of sight within a ruined house, his heart rapidly thumping in his chest. The boy was wide eyed and completely terrified. He darted his head left and right to make sure they hadn't followed him. He slid down the wall as he clutched the sides of his head.
He was in a nightmare and one that he was never going to wake up from. These things were monsters. Unbeatable, unkillable monsters. He couldn't make any kind of dent in them all! No matter how hard he tried he couldn't cut them. That's when they fought back.
Tatsumi couldn't even count how many times he had almost gotten himself killed. His clothes were in shredded tatters and he was covered in deep cuts on his arms, legs and chest. The way they wielded their weapons was like nothing he had ever seen before.
When they first encountered them, he heard Susanoo mentioning that they were not Teigus. So then what the hell were they?!The fact that he had no idea how to harm them scared Tatsumi greatly. This was nothing like his fight against Ogre or Zanku, this was entirely one sided.
The fear that Tatsumi was feeling had been replaced by shame. He ran. He ran away like a coward. But did he run because he couldn't stand a chance against these things? Or was it because he was scared? In fact, why was he just hiding? He was a member of Night Raid! If Bulat, Akame or the others ever saw him like this, he'd never hear the end of it. He smacked himself and shook himself out of his stupor.
Grabbing his sword, Tatsumi resolved to find a way to beat these creatures and maybe assist his fiends if possible. He cautiously inched towards the nearest window and carefully peered out. The streets were empty and there were no signs of the creatures anywhere. Tatsumi leaned his head back in a breathed a sigh of relief. He went back to the window to climb out of it only to be greeted by the creature glaring right at him!
Tatsumi's mouth fell open in shock but no scream escaped; he was that terrified.
"FOUND YOU."
Prism's light-green crystalline fist smashed through the wall, grabbed Tatsumi by the scruff off his shirt and pulled him through the wall! It then brought him up to its burning red eyes, scaring him further.
"HIDE AND SEEK IS OVER."
Prism slammed Tatsumi face first into the pavement and threw him across the street and darted towards him. Tatsumi got up and gripped his sword while blood poured from his nostrils. Just before he could attack, #7 held its right arm up and light from the sun reflected off the Elastitherium on his arms and shone right into Tatsumi's eyes, blinding him! Prism formed his arms into cestus like gauntlets and slugged Tatsumi across the face as he tried to shield his eyes from the blinding rays.
It then followed up with an uppercut that sent Tatsumi crashing into the ground but he quickly recovered and engaged #7 in combat. Prism formed a battle axe and the two combatants clashed, seemingly evenly matched an unable to gain any ground. The blades clashed for several minutes until Tatsumi thrusted his sword at its head but it caught it with its bare hands!
It formed a whip in its free hand and wrapped it around Tatsumi's throat and began slamming across the ground over and over again. Prism then formed a mace and slammed into Tatsumi's side, flinging him into a store of some kind. Tatsumi groaned in pain as the blow had shattered 3 of his ribs. He darted his eyes over to the smashed window he was thrown through but then heard the wall to his right explode outwards and #11 came at him while swinging its double ended spears!
He barely had enough time to start blocking the blows but his wounds from earlier were beginning to throw off his concentration and Yari yanked the gut hooks on the sides of his spears, lacerating Tatsumi's ankles.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!" He yelled as he collapsed to the ground, dropping his sword and clutching his bleeding ankles! He scrambled away from #11 as numerous swords, daggers, axes, war hammers, spears and his sword began to float around it. That's when Tatsumi realized that he was in a weapons shop! This thing was magnetizing anything that was made of metal!
He saw #11 enter through the door and turned to Tatsumi. It created a pair of dual swords from its Elastitherium and moved towards him while Yari did the same. Tatsumi's mind began to race as he searched for a way out of this dire predicament. He noticed two wooden support beams that were heavily damaged and relatively thin. He instantly knew what he had to do.
Ignoring the horrible pain in his ankles, Tatsumi surged towards the first beam while avoiding #7's sword swings and threw himself at the beam. His full weight made it snap apart and dodged the numerous sharp implements that #11 threw at him. He stopped in front of the last beam just as his magnetic foe flung a war hammer in his direction. But Tatsumi planned for this and he dove out of the way just in time as the hammer smashed apart the beam.
The structure started to shake and Tatsumi bolted away from his enemies as they looked up. He grabbed his sword and pulled it out of the wall (embedded there from the previous barrage) before diving out the door before the entire building collapsed onto the metal creatures with a thundering crash. Tatsumi collapsed and looked at his cut ankles. They didn't look good and they were bleeding heavily. Tatsumi limped away from the area as fast as he could until he came upon a clinic. He hid inside the decimated abode and found bandages within the storeroom. After bandaging himself, Tatsumi began weighing his options. There was no way he or anybody else could win at this rate.
They had to escape. But how? They wouldn't be able to get very far with these things relentlessly pursuing them. Mabye there was some way to-
SHUNK
A spike made out of crystal suddenly speared out from the wall, barely missing Tatsumi's head! He quickly backpedaled away from the wall as more spikes perforated the wall until it fell apart, forming a perfect circle. Tatsumi could only stare in horror as #11 and #7 emerged from the hole.
Yari eagerly scraped its spears together while Prism formed its Elastitherium into a scythe. They then advanced upon the petrified boy as he shook like a leaf…
To be continued...
Apologies if this took long folks, life in general got in the way.
Two things I greatly enjoyed doing in this chapter was showcasing Chelsea's new abilities and Bulat going through Incursio's evolution.
Like I said a couple of chapters ago, I gave Chelsea an overhaul in terms offensive combat by giving Gaea Foundation the ability to transform into Danger Beasts…okay so she always had that ability to begin with but I always thought that she could only transform into smaller ones, not the big ones so I gave her that nifty little addition.
Bulat was fun to do because I always imagined what he would be like if he was the one who evolved Incursio instead of Tatsumi. It's kind of like the evolved form in the manga but a little bit taller and broader looking to fit Bulat's physique.
For those of you who are wondering that Tatsumi's was weak in his fight, keep in mind that this does take place very early in the series so he's not at his strongest, nor does he have Incursio.
The next chapter will be the final part of An Unstoppable Enemy and from here on out, things will really start to pick up.
Don't forget to review but please don't flame.
