While Libra is trying to keep the situation under the control, in the meantime, the DBT aka Demon Blood Tears, a group known for their outlandish parties, crazy vandalism and their usual target of white-collar criminals and oh, of course, their massive property damage caused by their fights with other fractions and of course, Femt's monsters. To them, it's a fun day to enjoy even if they slaying the monsters in process, it's all in good fun for everyone.
Well...except for one.
"Ah shit...here we go again."
Said a spiky black-haired short boy with fair skin in a red hoodie with a green radioactive sewed into it. He wears denim jeans and over his head, he wears a gas mask which he pulls down. He walks straight into the havoc of carnivorous cat-shark hybrids while launching bombs at them, creating big explosions. If there's anything he hates more than chaotic events and some other bullshit, it's...
"HEYA GUYS!"
It's this fucking asshole.
"TODAY IS SO BORING THAT'S THERE NOTHING TO DO FOR ME!" It came from a huge televised on a digital billboard featuring a tall and thin blond man in a lab coat wearing a mask over his, except for his sadistic smile that pissed Navarro off. He looks human but he is Beyondian. His name is Femt, King of Depravity otherwise known as that sick-asshole-shit-motherfucker to Navarro.
"SO, I THOUGHT I SHOULD THROW YOU GUYS A GREAT DAY FOR MY EXPERIMENTS! AREN'T THEY FUN TO PLAY WITH?!"
Already, the teen flips the bird at the screen.
"FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!" He yelled at the screen.
"NAVARRO, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! DON'T PISS HIM OFF!" Fosh cried, a young black teen in glasses with braids tied in a ponytail, wearing a casual sweater over his buttoned sleeve shirt and wears grey pants and shoes. He is holding Navarro back from cursing at King of Depravity for the sake of their own lives. "Gerald! Help me take Navarro back to the car!" Fosh cried.
"OH OH OH! LOOKS LIKE WE DON'T HAVE A HAPPY CAMPER!"
Then Navarro flips a second bird where the television switched to him entirely who is yelling all kinds of vulgarities while the TV is censoring his middle fingers. Not only that but the audio too.
"F#CK YOU AND F*CK YOUR SH T EXPERIMENTS!" GO TO H*LL, YOU A**HOLE M#THERF*CKER SH*TSTAIN! JUST GO DIE, YOU SICK B#ST&RD. EAT SH*T! %#$%!%! **!& *!&*!* !( !&( !#(! # (! *! (! &*(!)_!&)! #!&! #)&( !#$!)(&$ )! "
"OH GAWD, HE NOTICED!" Fosh cried. Gerald came over and he doesn't know how to deal with an angry Navarro. "So many swear words!" He cried, putting his hands over his ears. If Maggie or Rust is here, they know what to do. But they're not here as everyone is doing their own thing before Femt unleashed his monsters into the city.
Thankful for their sakes, bonk to the head from a sheathed katana made him stop. It came from a skinny teen in a white and gray striped hoodie, wearing a long gray scarf, grey pants, and an ominous white caiman mask. He stares at the short teen with his yellow eyes.
"Damnit, Shdwkyz! What the hell?!" Navarro yelled.
"We got better things to do than throwing insults at a tv screen," Shdwkyz said coolly as his mask distorts his voice to hide his identity. Then suddenly, a monster jumps before them, roaring, ready to chomp them down.
"SHUT UP THE HELL UP!" Navarro yelled at the monster before throwing bombs into its mouth, stopping it in its track, accidentally swallowing the explosives. They go off resulting in the monster hacking and coughing as its eyes were tearing up, allowing Shdwkyz to give it a few cuts. The monster howls before scampering off with its tail behind its legs.
"I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THESE MUTHFUCKERIN MONSTERS IN THIS MOTHERFUCKIN CITY!"
"And~ you said that the last time, remember?" Shdwkyz said coolly.
"AND I'm GOING TO SAY IT, SHDKWYZ. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET ME HAVE THIS, DAMNIT!"
"Yes, yes, of course, ~" SHdkwyz can't help but rolls his eyes. "Gerald, get him into the car. Just throw him in there."
"Okay!" Gerald then picks Navarro with ease thanks to his demonic strength, "GERALD! PUT ME DOWN!" Navarro yelled. "Sorry, Navarro! But Shdwkyz says so!" Gerald replied before tossing the angry teen into a grand SUV car owned by Jaron.
Shdwkyz walks to the driver's seat where Jaron is ready to go. "Just drive." He said to him to which the young man nods as he grips the sterling wheel with his yellow gloves. "Will do! Okay, put on your seatbelts!" He tells the boy as Fosh gets into the car and puts on his seatbelt. Gerald did so and helps Navarro buckled up.
"This sucks!" Navarro yelled. "I wonder what the hell is everyone doing!"
"Who knows." Shdkwyz shrugs.
Somewhere...several blocks away...
Ink is having a great time as she is with Oblivion and Maggie who were at the games store, getting games for everyone before Femt's monsters attacked. As usual, she cuts them down and counting her kills out loud for her team to hear.
"Oblivion! How many did you get?!"
"14, I think," Oblivion answered as she stands on top of dead monsters, flicking the blood from her battle mace.
"Dang! Already?! I'm going to reach for 20, then!" Ink then blinked to see a monster jumping into the air and goes to dive onto the roof with its mouth, rows of teeth widen opened. Huh? She squints her eyes as she heard screaming and sees Rust and Leo.
OH!
With an incredible burst of demonic speed, she jumps into the air swinging her greatsword downwards from behind, slicing the hybrid in half cleanly. The halves slide past the two boys, shocking them.
"12~!" She shouted with a grin.
"HUH?! INK!" Rust yelled.
"Heya!" Ink smiled as she lands onto the roof. "How's work?"
"Huh? Getting better." But then the blond shakes his head, "Wait no, nevermind that! You just stole my kill!" Rust yelled.
"Oh really?" Ink blinked before giggling, "Sorry about that!" Then she blinks to see Leo, "Oh hi! Leo! What's up?! You okay?"
"F-f-fine..." No, he isn't okay. Leo is still shaken up, but he is glad to see that they're saved.
"So, what you are guys doing?" She asked.
"Leo invited to take me out to his usual lunch spot until that crazy doc sics his monsters on us." He answered, "You?" He asked.
"Oh! We're getting new video games!" Ink asked, "Oblivion wants to buy some for us, Maggie tagged along to get a game for Gerald. We were planning to meet with the rest for some pizza before that Femt guy sends out his monsters too."
"Shit?" He asked.
"Yep!' She nodded, "Anyway! Did you get any kills yet with Libra?" Ink grinned.
"Only got five so far!" He held up two fingers, "That jackass, Zapp wouldn't let me do what I'm good at! He wants to look after Leo and he keeps calling me as a damn noob like I haven't done this before! Plus, he takes care of them without a sweat so I didn't get even a hit in even when we're cornered." Rust sighs.
"Woah, really?" Ink blinked.
"Yeah! His blood creates these thin ropes and slices all of them into pieces, giving us a way to escape even though I hate it." He sighed.
"Wow, Zapp must be strong!"
"Tch, yeah. But that guy has problems!"
"Wait! Isn't he's the one who tells you that you're almost late three times?" She asked. And the one who calls her flat. Ink has no idea what that means so she assumes it must be her face.
"Don't remind me..." Rust runs his face over with his hand.
"Don't worry! If Zapp guy isn't here, I think you can catch with us in no time! I just have beat Oblivion's score today. She just told me that she got fourteen of them so far!"
"Damn, I have to kill a lot to get there, huh?" Rust said.
"Yep! So far, I got 12. Pretty sure, Oblivion is going to kill more since she hates people trashing game stores!" Ink said.
"Knowing her, she's going to get more kills than us," Rust said. While the two conversing with each other, Leonardo just watched them in disbelief as he listens.
What the? What is up with them? In Libra, we talked about how to deal with the situation on hand and how to get out of it while making sure we do our job. But these two don't care about that, not in the slightest, they're acting like it's fine. Like it's a game. With this headcount game of slaying Femt's monsters. Aren't they worried that they can get killed? They're being too way optimistic.
Then Leonardo has to remind himself that these teens were abnormal like any Beyondain, no... more abnormal than the rest. He wondered how long they lived here in Hellsalem's Lot that made them like this. Where are their parents? Their families? Aren't they worried about that? Do they even go to school? There were so many questions running through the young man's head until he heard this,
"I can't join you guys, I got to take Leo to a safe place," Rust said.
"Huh? That sucks!"
"Yeah. Zapp keeps on goin sayin that Leo ain't a fighter and since I'm new, I going to be on standby."
Ink sighs then she widens her eyes. An imaginary lightbulb lights up on top of her head. "Wait! I got an idea, let's call Jaron and have Leo join him so he can get away from here. How about it?"
"Hell, why not! It wouldn't hurt; I mean Jaron knows how to get away from here with his mad drivin skills!" Rust smiled.
"Awesome! Let me give him a call!" Ink pulls out her smartphone and dials. She puts the phone to her ear, "Hey Jaron! Sorry to call you at a bad time! Remember Leo? Yep, that's him! We need help in getting him away from the city! Really! Awesome! You're the best! Where should we meet you? Okay, uh-huh, cool! We're on 23rd Street! Okay, 8th Avenue? Got it! See you there!"
With that the other line hangs up, Ink grinning, "Not too far! I think we can make it! Jaron and the rest are on Penn Street so they're making their way here to 8th Avenue!" Ink explained to the two.
"Cool! Okay so we're on 6th Avenue so it's two blocks away!" Rust said.
"Yep!"
"Wait...what are you guys talking about?!" Leo asked. Are they serious leaving him with their friends? Leo just gives the teens a 'You guys can't be serious'- look.
"What's wrong, Leo? Don't ya want to get outta here?" Rust asked with concern, wondering what's wrong.
"No..it's not that." Leonardo sighs as he wasn't sure he can argue here, he really does want to get out of here and escape the jaws of Femt's monsters but he doesn't want to be seen as weak and get these guys in more danger. Then again, they look like they have no trouble dealing with Femt's frantic.
"Don't worry, Leo! Jaron is an awesome driver; he drives awesome despite a lot of crazy stuff! You're gonna be fine!" Ink grinned.
Uhm...why do I feel like I'm not coming out of unscathed here?
"Oblivion! Maggie!" Ink calls out to them as piles of burnt corpses of Femt's monsters surrounding them. Maggie switches off her flaming hands while Oblivion looks up to Ink, "Yeah?"
"We got something more important to do! We got to take Leo to 8th Avenue so Jaron will take him away from here!"
"Huh? Leo? Uhh...who's that?" Maggie turns to Oblivion.
"He's part of Libra, the secret organization that Rust joined," Oblivion answered.
"Oh...yeah, sure!" Maggie answered Ink with a nod.
"Okay! All we have to do breakthrough these guys!" Ink points to the swarm of hybrid wreaking havoc on the streets. Rust grins as he slams his metal fist into his open human palm. "That's going to be crazy to get through but that's nothing!"
Oh god... they're going to go through all that?! Leo widened his eyes staring at them. They couldn't, that's crazy!
"Leo! Time to go! Ready?!"Rust and Ink smiles at the other making Leo shaken in his legs, he wanted to say no and hope to convince them that there's another way but the only thing he can muster is giving them shaky smile, "Y-yeah, sure...let's go! I'm ready!"
10 seconds later...
i'm NOT READY! Leo screamed mentally in his head, with his hands covering his head as he is in the middle of Rust's group running. Ink and Rust at the front, knocking the monsters out of the way and Oblivion and Maggie at the back. Maggie supports as she is throwing fireballs at the hybrids who tried to jump them while Oblivion is knocking or killing along the way.
"Don't worry, Leo! We're almost there, keep up!" Rust encourages the other to keep up.
"That's what I doing!" Leo cried.
Ink laughs as she jumps up and strikes down one monster with the blade through the head, she pulls it out and jumps down behind it before Rust punches the same monster to the air to which Maggie throws a fireball at it, engulfing it in flames and Oblivion jumps up, swings her battle mace and sends it flying across the street. Sending the hybrid crash hard against brethren, resulting in an explosion. This is the pattern they created when dealing with single monsters.
So risky yet so organized which Leo observes so far.
Then hearing upon some roars, three monsters were charging at them, blocking their way. Ink grinned demonically as her sword glows blue, "RAPTOR SLASH!" She charged up a slash, releasing it slashes through the monsters. Rust, Oblivion, and Maggie charged in front taking one each for themselves.
"Blood Drive Punch!" Rust is the first to punch the monster in the face, creating a huge crack on the pavement then bam! Sending the hybrid 6-feet deep into the ground.
Maggie brings a flaming fist as she runs to the monster. "Flaming Right Claw!" Upon contact, she sends the monster ablaze with a fierce right uppercut. With incredible force, she sends it flying into the air as the monster is in flames and hits the floor in smoke.
"Lighting Hit..." Oblivion channels her electricity into her battle mace, swinging it. Shocking the third monster and made it bounced across the street, hitting the wall and it scumbled to the shock and the impact. With that, all three monsters are out of the way.
"SCORE COUNT! HOW MANY?!" Ink yelled.
"Killed 30," Oblivion yelled while having an expressionless face throughout the whole battle.
"15!" Rust yelled with a grin.
"10!" Maggie shouted.
"Ha! 25! Looks like Oblivion is beating us!" Ink laughed. "But don't worry! I'm going to score higher!"
Seriously! What is wrong with them?! Leo thought as he stares not only at their great power and their amazing teamwork but their thought process, honestly. And he thought Libra have the only people with monstrous power. But these kids are close! Are they really just kids or demons like everyone said?!
"HAHA! Almost see the street sign!" The teens are now in the crossroads of 7th Avenue, one more block to go. But then the loud commotion got the attention of more hybrid monsters as they came running, surrounding them.
"This is not good!" Leo cried.
All four teens protect Leo from all sides, facing front at the danger on their sides as the monsters are coming close and are now lunging. All teens are readied to fight their way out even if they're going to sustain serious injuries. But Leo felt they're trapped and these kids are going to get hurt because of him. No way. He won't let that happened!
Can't believe I have to use them for this! Leo thought before opening his eyes fully and already, the sigils that hold the same symbol in his eyes appeared over the monsters' eyes making the teens widened their eyes at this.
VIsion...
視野
SHUFFLE!
混交
Pupils were shuffling erratically making the monsters fall and topple all over each other. The teens were surprised by this however this gave them a chance to strike and clear the crossroads!
Maggie slams her knuckles against her each other as flames engulfed her fits grew bigger.
"Fire..."
火
"LEON FIST!"
レオンフィスト
With a throw of a punch, a flaming head of the lion makes contact with the monsters on the south side. The heat was so immense, it turns the monsters into a burnt crisp resulting in an explosion.
Oblivion's battle mace crackles with electricity, gripping at the handle, she dashes forward to the east side of the street and jumps in mid-air before coming down with a swing of her mace. "Raiden's..."
雷電
"Crater."
噴火口
A blast was made from that impact with the monsters, blowing nearby hybrids away as the ones at the epicenter of the attack were blown to bits as their existence are completely wiped into the oblivion.
"Ha!" From the west side, Rust grinned as the blood inside his metal arm is running fast, his metal arm starts to bulk up with the blood pressure, he dashes forward and has his metal fist made contact, "Destroyer..."
駆逐艦
"BOOM!"
暴騰
A booming sound is heard as the aftershock from the hit blow the monsters away, the force of the punch
"Awesome..." On the north side, Ink takes a deep breath before exhaling as her sword now glows a bright blue, the vibrant blue glow made as if the blade extends itself. "Wyvern..." With a wicked grin on her face under than hood, she yells as she sprints towards the demons.
ワイバーン
"TAIL SLAM!"
尾がちゃん!
Using the flat side, she brings her sword down upon the monsters in swing from her side in a full arc, sending the monsters in a full spin before they were sent flying in the air. Their bodies hit all over the city away from them, clearing a path for her friends to 8th Avenue!
Wow... Leo stared in amazement at the four demonic teens. so, this is what DBT is. Demons.
"OKAY! LEO! Let's get going!" Ink smiled.
"Huh?! Oh! Right!" Leo replied, he squints, hiding his All-Seeing Eyes as his resume runs with them. The group ran to 8th Avenue where a giant monster galloping across the streets making Leo and the teens halt.
"Shit!" Maggie cursed.
The monster took notice of the group, this mega hybrid growls before a series of explosions hit the demon, making the monster howl and staggered backward. The sound of screeching tires is heard as a white Lincoln SUV came up with the passenger door open, revealing Navarro who fired upon the hybrid with his grenade launcher. As the SUV came to the stop, Navarro unbuckles and got out.
"We're here!" Navarro yelled, prompting Rust and Ink dragging Leo and throws him into the SUV. "Jaron!" Ink calls to the driver of the SUV to which the teen driver gave them a thumbs up, "No worries I got him! Fosh!"
"Yeah, yeah, on it! Listen, you got to buckle up." Fosh telling Leo to strap into which Leo quickly did. He's put the buckle around his waist and straps over his chest.
"Hi!" Gerald greeted Leo.
"Alright, everyone in?!" Jaron looks over the passenger seat, seeing everyone is in their seats and buckled in safe and tight. "Let's go!" He pushes the stick forward and puts the foot to the pedal, driving off from the group leaving the entire group.
"Oblivion! Help out Shdwkyz to make sure Jaron and the rest get out of here!" Ink said. "Right." Oblivion nods and runs after the car.
Leonardo looks behind and asks, "Are they're going to be okay?!" He asked, worried for the teens.
"Don't worry, man! They're good!" Jaron smiled as he drives off. Fosh looks to Leo and says, "You should be worrying about yourself. This is going to be a bumpy ride!"
The giant monster bigger than the other hybrid shakes the attack off and roars as the team readied themselves.
"Let's get this party started!" Ink
Maggie and Navarro started off firing with the combination of fireballs and bombs, supporting the two from the back as close fighters like Ink and Rust launched forward in a sprint. The monster howls as it is backing up from the group, creating a distance.
"Team Attack!" Ink said. Rust is the first one up, delivering an uppercut to the monster's jaw, so fierce, it forces the monster to clench its teeth only to be broken, all of its teeth shattered.
下から
"From below!" He yelled as he drives the punch forward. With a roar of his own, the blond teen made the monster flew to the air. Ink jumps then wall-run up a building and jump with her sword raised.
上へ
"TO ABOVE!" Ink yelled with her sword glowing blue, "Wyvern!" Her face turns into demonic, featuring draconic characteristics like her maw, white-out eyes, and fangs.
ワイバーン
尾剣切り立てる
"TAIL BLADE SLASH!" With a full spin of her body, Her vibrant blue demonic blade cut through the monster in half, burning the halves in blue flames resulting in an explosion in the air. The aftershock of it creates a great breeze.
"Alright!" Rust grinned.
"Nice!" Maggie said with her arms against her chest with a nod.
"About time!" Navarro said.
This concludes their mini-mission!
Less than two minutes, the battle is over.
"So now what?" Navarro asked. Then the sounds of a chopper are heard making the teens turn their heads up to see a familiar face with a scowl riding inside the chopper as he had a beige trenchcoat and is holding a megaphone.
"Oh shiiit! It's Law!" Navarro cursed.
Indeed, it is. Daniel Law glares at the teens from his helicopter before spitting the cigarette out form mouth.
"HI LAW!" Ink greeted him with a friendly wave.
"WHAT DID I TELL YOU BRATS ABOUT GETTING INVOLVED?! HUH?!" Law holds up his megaphone, yelling at the teens, "YOU CAUSE A BIGGER MESS THAN THAT BASTARD FEMT! ALL OF YOU ARE ARRESTED! ARRESTED I'M TELLIN YOU!"
"Quick, Navarro! Do the ninja thing!" Ink yelled, waving her hands frantically.
"I'm not Shdwkyz!" Navarro retorted but did as he is told, throwing a bomb at their feet, creating a huge burst of smoke covering the area. As the smoke clears, they're all gone.
