Numbuh 35 was sitting in front of the gates to the village "It's pretty silent so far, maybe we can keep traveling after this is done" Numbuh 35 said looking up at his friends who were watching him from the walls
"We don't even know where to go yet though" Rachel said as she noticed a large cloud of dust on the horizon "Numbuh 35 look alive, they are coming" Rachel said
Bartie cracked his knuckles and started pumping magic energy into his fist "This will be a…" Before Bartie could continue though he noticed a relatively high amount of shadows from behind the cloud of dust "Piece of cake…?" he smiled nervously at the cloud of dust as it stopped and started clearing only to see an army of giant proportions made out mostly of undead monsters but also having giant monsters in its ranks "Guys…" Numbuh 35 looked at the army clearly very nervous as he sweated
The rest of the crew jumped out of the wall except for Numbuh 86 and joined Numbuh 35 "It only gets worse by the day" Rachel said
"What do you think? Patton looked up at Numbuh 86 who was aiming at the troops who were standing outside the village
"Less than a mile…" Numbuh 86 said "I can't say how many but it's definitely in the thousands…." Numbuh 86 said
"I don't know if we can defend the village against that many…" Rachel said sounding a bit worried
"Are we retreating?" Patton asked
Rachel chuckled "No way, Numbuh 35 and 23, go warn the villagers, tell them to get ready to leave and get the guards with you just so we have some help with these guys" Rachel said
"What now? They haven't moved yet" Patton said while Numbuh 35 and 23 entered the village
"Now we wait for their move" Rachel said as she sat on the ground resting her spear on her lap
Patton sat along with Rachel "What do you think of our chances, it is a pretty big army" Patton asked her
"If one of those from yesterday appears We have no chance" Rachel said "I'm more worried about how we're gonna keep them away from the Village" Rachel sighed
"Attack first?" Patton asked "If we give them the time they will manage to get closer…" He said then got his clawed knuckles from his pocket and placed them next to him
"Maybe…" Rachel scratched her chin as she saw a lone undead approaching her "The same tactic they used with you?" she asked looking at Patton
"I think this is different" Numbuh 60 said as he put on his clawed knuckles while Rachel placed her hand on top of her spear both still sitting on the ground
The undead stopped a few meters away from them "We would like… to sign your surrender…" The undead said
"I… don't think it will happen" Rachel smiled at the undead with a gentle tone to her voice "Sorry about that" she looked at Patton and nodded at him
Patton got up in the blink of an eye and cut down the undead messenger he didn't stop after that though and kept running in the army's direction
Rachel gestured to Numbuh 86 allowing her to attack
Fanny took a deep breath as her hands started glowing a slight shade of blue that was being transported to her weapon, she pushed the trigger, a loud sound came out of her gun followed by a blue energy bolt that traveled the battlefield and hit the army with a huge explosion
Numbuh 23 and 35 had arrived with the guards, there were about two hundred guards in the entire village, the guards followed Patton towards the enemy
Rachel stood back and watched everything, she then noticed Numbuh 35 and 23 were leaving the battlefield "You guys are running away?" Rachel looked at them disheartened
"We have a plan!" Numbuh 35 waved at her smiling as he walked with Numbuh 23 away from the battlefield
"Why doesn't this make me less worried?" Rachel said while seeing them leaving through the side of the battlefield, she then focused on Patton who was already fighting his way through the army but was slowly getting over-encumbered she then rushed to his side and exploded a few undead around as she plunged her spear on the ground around him while he jumped to get away from the flame wave "This isn't going to end well…" Rachel said, she and Patton were back to back now covering each other's back against the undead killing lots of them but not enough in comparison to the massive army, a few azure shots could also be seen in the sky as Numbuh 86 cleared pockets of the enemy army with her magic enhanced sniper rifle
"True, you got any ideas?" Patton said as he evoked his ethereal clones to clear the area in front of him
"Yeah, keep killing them" Rachel said as she pumped more magic energy on her spear and shot a flame spear from it clearing the undead in front of her, suddenly a giant spider with golden armor all around it jumped in their direction but was quickly disintegrated by Rachel and Patton who hit it at the same time
"I can do it…" Patton grinned but his expression soon turned to one of worry as he saw the guards from the village not being able to hold the army for much longer
Numbuh 35 was a few meters away from where the battle was taking place, Numbuh 23 was behind him transferring her magic to him "I'm not the best with this kind of magic just so you know, your plan is nuts!" Numbuh 23 said
"Relax, it will work out" Numbuh 35 said as he slowly pumped more and more magic to his gauntlet while drinking a green potion Numbuh 23 made for him
Numbuh 23 sighed "Well… I have nothing to lose anyway" she pulled Numbuh 35 close and proceeded to kiss him "Make sure to come back alive" She looked at him blushing with an angry tone of voice|
Numbuh 35 was a bit surprised but smiled at her feeling a bit awkward "I will" he said as he turned his attention to the battlefield as the guards retreated to inside the village while Numbuh 362 and Numbuh 60 held them back
Rachel suddenly pumped even more magic to her spear and all of a sudden a bunch of small balls of fire were conjured from its tip and went in the armies direction, it managed to further the distance between them but did nothing to lessen the enemy numbers
Suddenly a bright flash of light could be seen in the distance approaching the battlefield, Nor Rachel nor anyone could see what it was but it passed through the battlefield as fast as it appeared, it crossed right in front of the enemy army and then silence for a few seconds, no one understood what happened, then suddenly a sequence of blue explosions followed the trail the bright light took felling the enemy front lines in an instant, the explosions created a fissure on the ground between the village and the undead army
"A miracle?" Rachel sighed in relief smiling as the enemy army suddenly stopped advancing
"That was no miracle" Numbuh 23 had managed to reach back to the village she was panting looking exhausted after transferring most of her magic to Numbuh 35 and running back to the village "That was Numbuh 35… I'm going to rescue him" Numbuh 23 said as she looked at the other end of the battlefield at the end of the straight line Numbuh 35 had drawn across the enemy line
"You barely can hold yourself together…Let me rescue him" Numbuh 60 said while panting, he was exhausted after using his clones and maintaining his ethereal claws for so long at the same time
"You are all exhausted, I'm going" Rachel was a bit tired but could still keep going, before she could even walk though, a tremor could be felt on their side of the fissure, two mysterious figures had casually jumped the giant fissure Numbuh 35 had made, one was a giant man with absurdly sized horns, he used simple clothes but had a threatening aura to him, the other was a tall man full clad in black and blue armor with a huge red greatsword, his face nor his eyes could be seen through his helmet , Rachel felt the same aura from the man she fought the previous day "Change of plans…" Rachel sighed as she looked at the two elite fighters of the creature, she was now scared for the first time since arriving but didn't wanna show her fears to her fellow operatives, she knew at the time she was walking to certain death "Patton get out of here with everyone" Rachel said while preparing her spear
"Fat chance" Patton said as he readied his claws his hands trembling in fear
Numbuh 86 was aiming at the two elite fighters as she tried to come up with any strategy to no avail, that was when she noticed a stranger looking at her a few meters away from her position on top of the wall, a tall woman in a black dress with a demon made out of iron behind her smiled at her "I guess that is it…" Numbuh 86 aimed her sniper rifle at the woman
The two elite ones rushed at Patton and Rachel smiling at their terrified expressions when suddenly something came at the big horned fighter at unbelievable speed and pushed him away "Finally a challenge… I was getting tired of killing giant insects and those undead dorks on the way here" Numbuh 4 came out of the cloud of dust his impact against the giant man produced he was looking with a huge challenging grin at the giant horned man, his clothes were different, he now wore black armor with a white and red cape, his horned helmet now had bigger horns made out of purple crystal, he raised his ax with one hand and pointed it at the elite fighter
"We really need to stop meeting like this Rachel" Numbuh 1 came out from behind Rachel, he now had a runic greatsword on his back along with the two runic straight swords he still kept at his hips, he smiled at Rachel "You okay?"
Rachel looked at him stunned, then she started sobbing and crying while shaking her head in silence…
The Black Knight jumped at Rachel while they were distracted only to be blocked by Numbuh 1 with his new runic greatsword "Now that's just rude, we spent days traveling in these wastes being promised rest at a village just for you to attack us at the entrance and interrupt me and my Leader having a friendly talk?" Numbuh pulled one of his runic swords only for the black knight to back away from him and return to his original position in an instant
"I think this belongs to you…" Numbuh 3 was carrying an injured Numbuh 35 in her arms, she wore similar armor to the one Numbuh 4 was wearing but hers was lighter and had a medieval noble look to them, she now had a staff made out of gold and crystals that were strapped to her back, she handed Numbuh 35 to Virginia as she created a magic barrier around them so they could heal Bartie in peace
Numbuh 86 was dodging the enemy elite mage who was shooting giant fireballs at her while her iron beast chased Numbuh 86, suddenly a bunch of steampunk drones swarmed the iron demon and started shooting small bolts of magic at him, the mage woman then noticed something coming at her direction, she dodged it and looked back only to see a smidge of molten iron on a wall behind her "Hey Numbuh 86, guess I'm here to put down the fire" Numbuh 2 grinned at Fanny and at the Mage Woman both not laughing even a bit, he wore a white shirt and a pair of blue pants, his blue coat was now tied to his hip, he wore an arcane giant glove that mixed 2x4 technology and magic that controlled the drones he now had a giant dwarven-tech pistol attached to his hip instead of the two revolvers
"Rachel and Patton get Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 4 while I get stuck with Numbuh 2?!" Numbuh 86 looked at Hoagie furious
A solid rock hit the mage throwing her outside the wall "The next time we are going to let the crazy demon mage kill you" Numbuh 5 said as she landed on the wall while levitating a few rocks around her and with two skeleton birds on each shoulder. the skeleton birds flew out of her shoulders and started shooting bolts of light and dark magic at the iron demon along with Numbuh 2's birds, the iron demon disappeared out of thin air and returned to the demon mage's side, the two of them jumped out of the wall while Numbuh 86 readied herself to give them cover from above
Numbuh 4 was exchanging blows against the giant horned man, his ax against the horn man's fists who were about the same size as Numbuh 4 "Numbuh 3? A little help?"
"I'm busy healing Numbuh 35, you can do it" Numbuh 3 gave him a thumbs up
"Crap…" Numbuh 4 said as he dodged the giant man's fists slowly getting cornered, suddenly a barrage of arrows hit the elite fighter in the back staggering him for a bit
"Numbuh 4, you want some help?" Lee asked him smiling at the giant man
The giant man púnched the floor right in front of where Lee and Sonia were standing as a shockwave came in their direction at high speed only to be deflected by Numbuh 4
"I just needed a breathing room…" Numbuh 4's ax started morphing into a greatsword as Sonia and Lee disappeared from the giant enemy's sight, he started clashing blows with the enemy again this time managing to push the enemy back, the giant man then screamed at him and rushed in his direction with an insane expression on his face, Numbuh 4 hit his sword against the floor in his direction creating a wave of destruction that slowed the giant man's desperate rush, Numbuh 4 then with a single thrust from his leg approached the enemy elite fighter and cut him in half in a single swing from his sword "Pushover…" Numbuh 4 sighed as he looked at the giant horned man's corpse fall to the ground
"He will be missed" The man in black knight who looked at Numbuh 1 said "Shall we begin?" he asked Numbuh 1 while pointing his sword at the Sector V leader
Numbuh 1 sheathed his runic greatsword and looked at the small crystal on the palm of his glove, suddenly an ethereal broadsword was created out of thin air he then pulled one of his runic swords and rushed at the black knight, their swords clashed, a loud sound could be heard with each blow
Suddenly the black knight backed away from Numbuh 1 "You are not so bad yourself, I will have to test your abilities to their extreme" He sad, then suddenly a red ominous aura could be seen around him "If you hold yourself back, you will die" He said while pointing his sword at him
Numbuh 1 sighed "I have to defeat your boss yet though…" he joked then deactivated his ethereal sword and grabbed his other runic sword, he pumped magic to both of them transforming them into two arcane greatswords and rushed at the black knight with a smile on his face, the black knight did the same and soon they crossed each other
An ominous silence took place on the battlefield but suddenly the black knight kneeled "I'd say your chances against him are… average" he said as he fell to the ground dead
"Good enough for me" Numbuh 1 smiled
The giant swarm of magic controlled drones was chasing the demon mage while she fought Numbuh 5 high in the sky throwing fireballs at her while Numbuh 5 deflected them with a burst of wind coming from her staff, she suddenly stopped and destroyed the drones with a huge chain lighting that pulverized them one by one, she rushed at Numbuh 5 and evoked her iron demon right on top of the girl
Numbuh 5 surprised managed to dodge the iron demon but lost her balance and ended up falling from the sky
Numbuh 2 caught her "You okay?"
Numbuh 5 looked at her broken staff and sighed "I guess…" she then looked up only to see the iron demon falling in their direction "NUMBUH 86!"
Numbuh 86 focused her aim on the iron demon and with a magic focused shot managed to destroy it as it slowly vanished out of thin air before crushing the two operatives
The mage furious with the loss of her demon rushed at Numbuh 86 this time, the girl tried shooting down the mage several times to no avail as she approached, she landed on the walls and smiled at Numbuh 86 "This battle is already lost for us… but I'm going to take one of the heroes with me" she smiled but then felt something pierce her torso all of a sudden, she looked down only to see a hand with claws coming out of her chest
"You shouldn't depend so much on the rifle" Patton sighed as he took his arm out of the mage demon's chest and looked at Sonia and Lee who helped him get there in time "Thank you guys" he nodded at the duo
"No problem" Sonia said as she and Lee disappeared out of thin air again
"There is still the matter of the undead army…" Rachel sighed
Numbuh 3 finished healing Numbuh 35, she grinned as he and Numbuh 23 kissed each other then looked at Rachel "No problem, I will take care of it" Numbuh 3 took out a book with a padlock on it and unlocked it with a key from her pocket "Now let's see… Oh there it is" Numbuh 3 ripped a page from the book and threw it in the army's direction, the page suddenly burned itself, in a matter of seconds the skies turned red and birds that were waiting for the end of the battle to feast started running away, the clouds slowly parted to give way to the giant meteor coming at the enemy army's direction
"Isn't it a bit… overkill?" Rachel looked at the meteor and then at Numbuh 3 "This has to take a lot of magic, are you okay?" She looked at Numbuh 3 a bit worried
"I'm a special case, don't worry" Numbuh 3 giggled as she raised a force field around them and the village as the meteor hit the ground creating a shockwave that razed mountains around it but inside her force field everything was normal except for the ground shaking a bit "Hehe, I wanted to test this since we managed to get this book from that dungeon on the way here"
"Just remember Chernobog is in control of a city, you cannot use this kind of stuff in there" Numbuh 1 looked at Numbuh 3 with a reprehensible look
"I will keep that in mind" Numbuh 3 giggled at Numbuh 1 innocently
A few hours later the village was throwing a huge party to their heroes, Numbuh 60 and Numbuh 86 were sitting on the walls kissing each other while laughing a bit drunk, Numbuh 35 was laid in an improvised bed still a bit hurt while Numbuh 23 laid next to him hugging him laughing while they both blushed a bit embarrassed
Numbuh 3 was healing a few bruises Numbuh 4 had suffered during the battle smiling at him "How are you feeling?"
"Pretty good, that guy had no chance" Numbuh 4 said laughing while drinking a mug of some kind of drink
"Hey I was wondering, do you think we make a good couple?" Numbuh 3 smiled at him
"Yeah sure, I cut them down and you burn them to the ground, it is pretty nice, why you ask?" Numbuh 4 smiled at her, he then felt her hand on his cheek as she pulled him into a kiss
"I wanted to surprise you once we stopped, what did you think?" Numbuh 3 smiled at him
"I…I…" Numbuh 4 blushed while looking at her a bit drunk, he kissed her back "yeah… it was pretty good…" Numbuh 4 said shyly as he tried to focus on his drink
Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 362 were inside a room in the village looking at a map of the world planning their travel to the country Chernobog was in "With the resources the village head promised us we should be able to reach the city that monster is attacking in just a few days with the wagons" Rachel said
"Easy enough, we now just need to defeat a creature we don't even know what it looks like" Numbuh 1 laughed "Sorry for not being able to reach up to you guys sooner, must've been rough spending two weeks in the wastes"
"I sure did miss having a bath" Rachel sighed "I missed you as well…" she blushed
"Same here" Numbuh 1 sat on a chair as Rachel sat on his lap and kissed him "I just want this to be over already… the swords are nice but being an operative is more fun"
Rachel chuckled "So fighting toiletnator is more fun than fighting a sinister black knight?"
"Pretty much" Numbuh 1 laughed and kissed her
Numbuh 2 was outside the village sitting against the wall while Numbuh 5 fixed her staff with magic "Are you sure you don't want me to fix it for you? I could make a Hi-Tech one for you" Numbuh 2 said
"No thanks, I'm keeping it simple" Numbuh 5 said while focusing on her staff, it got repaired in a few seconds after that, she then sat right next to Numbuh 2 "So? Are you finally confessing to me? Everyone is doing it"
Numbuh 2 paused for a moment then sighed "Will you punch me?" he looked at her
"Nah, go ahead" Numbuh 5 smiled at him
Numbuh 2 blushed "You wanna go out with me?"
Numbuh 5 punched him on the shoulder "Of course I do" she laughed then pulled him into a kiss
Lee and Sonia were near the fissure Bartie had created "Even Numbuh 35 can be scary sometimes" Sonia said
"I guess…" Lee said as he teleported himself to the other side of the fissure "These rings are pretty useful" He said while looking at a gold ring on his index finger
Sonia teleported towards him but managed to fail her landing and fell on top of him "S-Sorry…"
"That's okay…" Lee looked to his side only to see a skull from the previous battle, he pushed it aside a bit creeped out he smiled at Sonia while she sat on top of him the light of the moon shining on her "You are beautiful you know that?"
"My weight must be cutting the blood from your brain somehow, poor Lee…" she tried getting up only to have her arm grabbed by Lee as he pulled her into a kiss, Sonia backed away a bit surprised
"S-SORRY! It was the moment and-" Before he could continue his explanation Sonia laid on top of him and kissed him again "C-Can we go to a safer place?" Lee looked around at the undead army soldiers on the ground around them
"It's giving me the creeps as well…" Sonia giggled and teleported somewhere else with him
Numbuhs 3 and 4 had their visuals updated while Numbuh 1 had his weapon visual updated, Numbuh 2 had both his weapons and visual updated
Numbuh 3 clothes now are based on Funf/Fif from GBF
Numbuh 4 clothes are like Sarasa now and he leans more towards her 6* outfit including the horns that are now his helmet (No skirt though LOL)
Numbuh 2 new looks are based on Cucoroux's skin "Gunsmith Workwear" (No skirt as well, though I guess he would like the windy feeling)
Numbuh 1 weapon visuals changed a bit, he is still based on Seofon but he is based on his 5* now
