Chapter. 39

Vincent raced through the city as fast as his bike would go, his aim was to get to the heart of the ruby legion. stopping at a red light Vincent checked the time. "About thirty minutes left. Plenty of time, come on, come on turn green." Vincent tapped his finger on his handlebar until the light changed.

Vincent drove up the block when the world broke apart around him. Everyone was rebuilt into me made of gears standing before Vincent was Ocean Duelist. "Don't do it Tyrant. Turn around."

Vincent drew his sword. "Get out off my way."

"No." Ocean duelist drew his sword as well. "Teal put a lot of time into making you what you are now. I can't let you run head first into a legion to be ripped apart."

"Didn't stop you when I first did it."

"That was to see how well you'd do, but now we can't have you charging in to pick fights with just because you lost your girl."

Vincent raised his blaster. "Shut the fuck up!"

"Go back Tyrant. What Teal did was to help you." Vincent swung his sword to launch an orange energy wave. Ocean matched Vincent's movement to hurl his own attack to over take Vincent's. Ocean's attack clashed into Vincent, cutting him in half. "You have power, but your will is weak. Prism rose was a poor choice of a child, unless it was for another reason." Vincent raised his body on his arms. Ocean walked towards Vincent, kicking aside the severed legs. "I understand what you wanted. a shy. lonely girl. Easy prey. A little kindness and she'll do anything you want."

"Shut up!" Vincent leaned on his left side to fire his blaster. He shot at Ocean until his weapon overheated, each one was blocked by the duelist's sword.

"It's the shy one's that are the freaks in bed." Ocean noticed Vincent digging his fingers into the dirt. "Admit it. You picked Prism because she'd be simple to control and be an easy lay."

"Cleanse!" Vincent unleashed a gigantic beam of light, faster the Ocean could fully dodge. When the attack was finished Vincent's headache had gotten worse.

Ocean staggered back, his right arm along with a part of his torso was burned away. Ocean fell to one knee with his hand hovering over his scotched wound. "Alright then. You do have some power of will after all. Go then Tyrant. Vent your rage, use it, hone it, grow it, master it."

"Just shut up and get out of the way." Vincent shot at Ocean Duelist until his health was gone. The world returned to normal, Vincent hit the brakes and pulled over the side of the road. Almost hitting a parked car. Vincent took off his helmet to rub the sides of his head. After a few minutes to recover he rode to the nearest store to buy headache medicine and water. Stepping outside with his purchase in hand Vincent sat down at a bench to clear his mind.

"You know this is a bad idea." Vincent took the medicine with a sip of water to wash it down. "Fighting people in a line up is one thing. Fighting a whole legion at once is suicidal." Vincent checked the time to see he had less then ten minutes left. "Just wait till school starts again then she'll have to talk to you. If not then Corina can clear it up."

Vincent drank all of his water then threw away the bottle. "Not happening. I'm not letting Reby go a whole week think I'm a creep who never cared about her. Besides, Jade wants me to get hr another legion. She wants the emerald, I'll get her the ruby." Vincent set the recording Levi gave him to ready. Clinching his fists as the clock winded down, waiting for the second. "Unlimited burst!" Once again the world broke down and rebuilt itself into a desert wasteland.

Vincent heard the sounds of battle carried over the desert winds. He ran in the direction it was coming from for a minute then saw a large foe being attacked by several dual avatars, all of them trying to chip away at the beast's health. Vincent charged his fury into his blaster and fired devastating beam at the foe, piercing through the its head to kill it. Vincent tightened his fists as his headache returned but kept silent as he walked closer to the slain monster.

Everyone turned to Vincent, many with their weapons at the ready. "Ruby Dragoon! Where is he?!" None of the avatars moved or spoke. Vincent fired a beam into one of the few standing building to bring it down. "I'm not fucking around here, where is Rudy Dragoon!?"

The avatars started to shout, blue and green avatar drew their weapon and charged Vincent. Surrounded Vincent fought to protect himself more then anything. He blocked attacks he could see till a mace hit him in the arm, breaking it. A green avatar bashed him with their shield and sent him flying back. Away from the mob the red and some purple avatars opened fire on Vincent, riddled his body with holes.

A faint blue color tinted the world as Vincent laid in the sand, a timer appeared to let him know he could respawn in an hour. "There's so many. I can't kill them all. Ruby Dragoon came to me only to see who I was, he's not going to fight me with this many players around." Vincent saw some of the players were laughing while some kept their weapon trained on his body. "If I come back they'll just kill me again. Was coming here a mistake? Am I going to lose brain burst here?" Vincent closed his eyes. "What do I lose if I lose this game. It's been nothing but headache after headache."

The Tyrant's mind turned to his friends, then to Rebecca. "Losing this game will mean losing everyone. Losing Reby." Vincent's fists tightened. "I'm not losing Reby. I'm not losing her." Vincent's arms hissed with power from his rage. "I'm not losing... I'm not gonna lose!" Vincent shot up to his feet. "I'll kill them all!"

Endless kill mode engaged.

The timer shattered and Vincent was back in the game. He drew his sword and swatted away a blue avatar's hammer then swing his sword down on the avatar shoulder. Vincent raised his sword then cut off their head. Another blue attacked Vincent with a mace but Vincent ducked then swept their legs with a kick. Vincent stood up and plunged his sword through a green avatar's shield, cleaving them in two.

A blue avatar charged with a spear, Vincent sidestepped the spearhead and stabbed the avatar in the heart. A metal avatar grabbed Vincent by his shoulder from behind and spun him around. Vincent used the momentum to sink his blade into the metal avatar's chest hard enough to lift them off the ground. He pulled his sword out as a green avatar rushed him with a large shield covered in spikes. Vincent swung low, hitting them in the legs. As they fell Vincent swung his sword down to cut off their head.

Vincent lunged at a blue avatar who held their sword up to block. Vincent's blade came down with enough force to push the avatar's sword into their helmet. Vincent stepped back then reversed his sword grip to thrust this sword down the avatar's neck and into their heart.

The red avatars raised their weapons and opened fire to put down Vincent once again. "I'll kill you all!" Vincent respawned then launched a sword beam at the red avatars and split in half most of them. Vincent raised his sword to to catch an incoming ax from another blue avatar. Vincent slid his sword along the ax then swung the blade to cut off the avatar's head.

A green avatar struke Vincent in the side of the head and knocked him down. Vincent cut off the avatar's legs then sank his sword into their skull as they fell. A chain wrapped around Vincent's sword and almost pulled the weapon out of his hands. More chains bursts up from the sands and wrapped around Vincent to tie him down. A metal avatar rushed towards him and snapped Vincent's neck.

Vincent respawned and punched the avatar, taking its head off. More chain shot up from the sand to bind Vincent. He spotted a yellow avatar with chains for arms, Vincent's arms ignited with fire. He ripped the chain off his right arm and fired a beam to disintegrate them. The chains fell off and Vincent stood up and was being shot at by more red avatars. Vincent fired another massive beam to destroy more of them.

Another chain wrapped around Vincent's sword from a purple avatar. Vincent pulled on the chain to drag the avatar closer then grabbed them by the neck, he threw them to the ground and shot them in the head with his blaster.

A metal avatar grabbed Vincent by the arm and hurled him into the sand. Vincent dropped his sword and punched the avatar in the face to get them away. Another metal threw a punch at Vincent. He knocked the fist away with his arm then followed with an uppercut to take there head off. Before the body could fall Vincent hurled it at the first metal avatar to knock them down then killed them with his blaster.

"Enough! Back away!" All of the avatars distanced themselves from Vincent as Ruby Dragoon descended. "Everyone leave, now!" The legion ran for the exit points, away from Vincent. "I'm surprised you came here."

"Surprised? Maybe you'll have the appropriate reaction when I start cutting you open."
