Chapter 39: Hell hath no fury like us.
This war... Wasn't normal at all. A war consisted of an army of many against another, but to them they were all they had. A handful of warriors going against a legion of demons and their Master. "BASTARD!" Naomi shouted delivering a hard punch to the Hell Knight, only moaning before raising it's weapon to the sky. Naomi avoided it by shooting a fire ball from the gauntlet that worked as an explosion which caused it to stagger. "Did I get him?" She would regret her answer as the sound of the ground smashing was heard with a large gust of wind blowing away the smoke. He stood proudly as Cerberus let out a snarl before it barked loudly that caused a sudden gust of wind.
"Yeah, you really got him good..." Elina insulted with Naomi giving a glare.
"Shut up, ya damn blonde bitch." Naomi told her. "Let's see if you can do better."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" She pointed her spear at the Brawler who raised a fist to the captain's face.
"Want me to say it up close and personnal?" She threatened, but looked to see the Guard Dog of the Third Circle about to pounce on them. "LOOK OUT!" She pushed the youngest Vance away from her as the two successfully dodged the beast. It slid on the ground before getting ready to pounce again, growling at its prey. "For a fat dog he sure is athletic..." She commented taking her stance.
"HEADS UP!" She looked behind her to see a demon flying at her only to dodge it at the last second. Cerberus opened it's maw as the body landed in it's mouth while being chewed to bits. "Eat this!" Risty shouted from a high jump as she delivered a strong punch to the Hell Hound who gave out a whine, only for the Behemoth to charge at it. The two of them growled at one another, biting the other or clawing.
"Dio!" Izumi worried at the Behemoth, only to be stopped by the Grandmaster.
"He'll be alright." Shizuka told her. "Focus on the others in front of us!"
"R-Right!" She hesitated while taking glances at the two beast. The two Beasts head butted the other as their eyes glared. Dio's blood dripping from it's body as miniture bloody versions of him were now being created as they started to attack. Cerberus flinched from the pain they caused that let it be open for an attack as the Behemoth grabbed it by the neck. He started to flail its body around trying to finish it quick. However, Cerberus had other plans... At the right angle it shot what seemed like filth from its mouth and hit the Behemoth right in the eye. It burned! It stung! Dio growled loudly in pain as it flung the three headed beast off of him and tried to wipe the filth off of him. "DIO?!" Izumi looked back at him to see him hurt. "YOU BASTARD!"
"IZUMI! NO!" Tomoe was too late as the Samurai charged in at the three headed hound. It saw her coming for an attack but left her open for a clean hit. Cerberus turned its body around for the snake tail to try and hit her that caused her to fly though the air and hit a tree. "IZUMI!"
"Oh shit!" Eli noticed that the three headed beast was about finish the job as he made a run with his sword drawn. He brought his sword down to lay down a slash only for it to be stopped by someone else. He took a notice to see it was that provactive Hell Knight demoness who looked at him with a lustful expression.
She pushed him away from the beast as she started to slowly walk forward. Her hips swaying back and forth with her swords drawn. "Mmm~ Now YOU are quite... Interesting." She looked at him from top to bottom. She pushed him away from the beast as she started to walk slowly to him only to disappear in a smoke of black dust.
"What the...?!" He looked around him seeing only everyone else fighting, Cerberus, The Behemoth and an unconscious Izumi. Soon he felt a hand reaching around him to see her standing right at side.
"I'm right here~" She licked her lips wanting to sample him now. "You're special, and I'm not gonna let it go to waste~"
"Sorry," He held his sword in a reverse grip. "But I'm not on the damn menu!" He thrusted his sword behind him to try and stab her but she disappeared in a puff of smoke only to appear in front of him again. "Shit..."
"Looks like you could use some help." He turned to see Echidna and Irma walking up to the fight. "We can take care of this."
"Hurry! Go!" Eli nodded as he started to sprint forward with his sword drawn. He slashed at the lust demon who vanished into smoke and reappeared again. She glanced at the two in front of her as she only grew a smirk. "Got any ideas?"
"I'm thinking of one now..." The elf responded. She vanished into thin air to dodge her attacks, but there's gotta be a weakness to her.
"Echidna," She said her name that caused to be confused. "Former leader of the Assassin of the Fang, now a blade for hire." She licked her lips at the knowledge she knew. "You're quite famous in my Circle, especially how you killed your target or how you got information out of people. You're not a picky person when it comes to gender, are you?"
"I left that behind." She told her with a glare. "I'm a wife and mother now, I wouldn't betray this for the damn life of me..."
"500 years of death and lust just left behind? I call you a liar, Echidna." She said before vanishing into smoke again as a sudden wind started to pick up. "Prove me wrong then, if you can." She held multiple knives between her fingers while still holding her weapons."Shall we begin?" They glared at one another for what seemed like an eternity in her mind... She needed to find that one weakness to her abilities otherwise this fight will shorter than expected.
In an instant the two clashed together in such speed that it felt like the wind. Irma came right behind her teacher as she jumped to deliver a kick to their enemy with her blades drawn. However she vanished into smoke then reappeared quickly behind Echidna as she tossed her knives at the duo. The wild elf spun around with a kick that caused the knives to fall to the dirt before grabbing one and tossing it back.
She snatched the knife before it even stabbed her and placed it in her belt. A cold sweat trailed down Irma's head but decided to brush it off. The wind blew gently in such a creepy way around them that caused her skin to grow goosebumps... From her ears it sounded like a moan... "What the hell are you?" Echidna asked her tightening her grip.
The demoness only began to laugh at her question, like a howl to the sky she couldn't help but laugh harder. When she stopped she had on a mad grin that caused the wind to pick up! "I am the Knight of the Second Circle, where the souls are trapped for being carried away by the Winds of Pleasure and Lust." The wind surrounding her started to move violently with her body now being carried into the air. "Come! Let us enjoy this orgy of death!"
"Here she comes!" Irma warned as she moved faster than earlier! With a second to dodge they tried to slash at her but once again turned into black smoke! Appearing again on top of them she slammed Echidna straight into Irma buy pulling her arm then tossing her aside. Irma shook off what she and tried to slash at her again as the Knight took a hold of her arm as she licked her lips.
"Hmm... My don't you look... EXTRAVAGENT!"
"DON'T YOU TOUCH HER!" Echidna shouted gaining her attention that Irma used for a distraction. She tried to stab her with her free arm only to end in failure as she appeared in the air once again tossing a daggar up then catching it in a playful manner."Bitch...!" Irma couldn't believe what she was seeing... Echidna, her teacher was losing her composure? How was that possible?
There was no time to think of such things now, she'll have to ask later. Soon the Temptress used her tricks again as she appeared right next to them slashing at them only to graze their skin. Disappearing once more to appear behind them as she kicked Irma in the back of her head with Echidna bashing against her that caused her to lose the grip of her blades. They fell right by Irma who stood back up about to rush the Knight who was locked in with Echidna!
Irma charged in with both blades at her side coming in for a down slash only for her to disappear once more! "Damn it!" Irma cursed but her vision look at something strange falling on the ground... It was tiny, almost a molecule of something... "A finger nail chip...?" Turning around to see her appearing once again picking up her weapons with a smirk on her face. "Did I get a hit?"
"Irma, what's wrong?" Echidna asked her not keeping her eyes off their opponents.
"Nothing... I think I found something that we can use."
"What?!"
"I don't know yet... It's only a hunch." She whispered to her. "Keep an eye on her fingernails for me... Tell me if something is different from the rest..." Irma took her stance once again.
"Are you done with your little talk? It's time to die!"
"I hope this hunch of yours is correct!" Echidna told her as she charged in at the Knight.
With Eli, it was gonna be rough in this fight! "HEY! FIDO!" He shouted at the three headed beast who appeared by his side, throwing a powerful punch to its left head as it slammed into the other two. The blow caused it to black out for a moment until they shook it off, growling at the half-demon knight standing there with his blade drawn. "Come on, all bark and no bite?" He taunted as it roared causing mud, filth and vile breath to be thrown at him.
The Hellhound charged at Eli at incredible speed as he dodged its charge while delivering a slash on it's body. When he looked at its body his barely did anything... Was it smirking at him. "Bastard..." He cursed gripping his blade tighter. "The mud on its fur ain't doing anything... Guess I gotta attack head on!" He charged straight ahead before jumping high and landing on its back. "Alright, how about this?!" He started stabbing it repeatedly for it to whine and roar trying to get him off by rampaging around!
Eli was soon knocked by its tail sending him straight through many trees. "Damn it!" He cursed before running back into the fight. It stood there growling at him that caused him to circle around the beast before beckoning him to come. "Come on, is that really all you got?" He taunted him with the hound's tail snaking its way to his area before it serperated into 5 different heads of snakes! He only smirked at this before slicing off their heads in one swing causing the beast to howl in pain once more. "There's more where that came from!"
Hearing loud foot stomps that shaked the ground behind him he saw the Behemoth standing next to him snarling at the Hell Hound. "D-Dio...!" Izumi stood up from her position and ran to her companion as she held his head. "Thank God you're okay." She rubbed his head lovingly with her eyes glued onto Cerberus as she gritted her teeth."Let's beat this three headed bastard!" The Behemoth only roared out glaring at the beast who only roared back.
In the sky is another battle taking place between the King and Hell Knight. "So tell me," She said clashing blade with the Knight while it rode on its hell horse. "What is hell like? Is it fire and brimstone? Eternal Darkness?"
"Hell is a place of many... Suffering and punishment..." It told her trying to pierce her with its blade only to miss completely. Circling around it charged the blade in a strange black miasma to slash at air sending dozens of cursed waves straight at her. "It is a land free of such things as kindness and hope... However, in our circle there is faith that still linger." June slashed at all the cursed waves shattering them with her sword before charging at the Knight who blocked her attack with its shield. "We always question why they remain thinking such faith."
"Human nature, that's why." She told him with a grin. "Even when we come to the point of breaking, or when we think all hope is lost... We always believe that there is a way to everything in life! It doesn't matter if we gotta fight our way though, us humans will continue to fight! When there's a wall in your way you gotta break it down!"
"Humans... Such strange souls..." June pulled out her pistols shooting it in the head as it dropped dead from its horse. Falling down to the ground with its horse galloping to catch its rider. June wanted to finish the fight now by firing many bullets at the Knight only for him to move once again slicing them in half! The horse caught the knight just in time as he charged forward at incredible speed piercing the Nephilem's shoulder.
"Bastard!" She cursed turning both her guns into a single shotgun pointing it point blank at Its head. Firing it caused a loud bang to erupt through the skies as with June seeing something she didn't expect to see what was underneath. Under the armor was a ghostly figure only have two piercing eyes... No mouth, no nose, ears or hair. It was like he was made up of souls... Quickly she kicked off then regaining balance while using healing magic to close up the wound. "So that's what you look like."
"Yes... We are many souls who pray to escape. If fighting to obtain that peace is the only way, then so be it..." The helmet reformed once more on Its head glaring at the King. "Shall we end this battle, King of Gainos?"
"Show me what you got." She beckoned before charging straight at him with her sword drawn. The two pushing the other back as sparks were made between the two. Their blades clinging every second caused the metal to heat up in both swords as June pushed the Knight back and stabbed It in Its abdomen. "I know that there is more than this."
"Correct." Soon many spirits escaped from Its body to combine behind the King to see a double of the Knight with Its horse. The Knight she was facing started to pushing her back with the one behind her held out Its blade ready to pierce her.
"JUAN!" A familiar voice came to ears to see someone speed by and tackle the other knight out of the way to save the King's life. A closer look was Annelotte in her Hell Valkyrie Armor with the wings larger to help her fly. "Are you okay?!"
"Thanks, Annelotte!" He smiled before kicking off the Knight to give her space. The two Rebels stood back to back looking at their opponents. "Looks like you got the hang of it."
"Do you think we can finish them off soon?"
"Probably."
"Better than nothing I guess." On cue the both of them charged at the Knight with June unleashing a rain of bullets before tackling Knight of Its horse. Annelotte clashed blades with the Hell Knight as the two of them glared at each other.
"You... Your scent..."
"What about it?!"
"We thought we smelled a familiar scent near by and we found it... All 3 of you here..." It's gaze went from her, to Eli fighting the three headed beast to Aldra still on the ship in a panic. She looked terrified like she had seen a ghost.
"Aldra?!" Melpha went to what she knew as the former Queen, seeing her clutching her head in pain.
"Madam?!" Belphe looked concerned at the half-demon.
"M-My head... AHHHHH!" It was a sharp pain that felt like someone was stabbing inside her brain. Tears and saliva escaped from her as the pain was unbearable.
Annelotte pushed the Knight away from her to gain distance. What did he mean? "It seems she is starting to remember..."
"What the hell are you saying?!" Annelotte started pushing him causing the horse to buck and turn around! With her shield up she blocked the horses kick that made her opened for an attack. The Knight charged full force with his body covered in purple and red aura as his sword turned into a lance. Thrusting forward with all Its strength, Annelotte held her shield up to parry the attack as she sliced the demon in armor in half. It only worked half expected as the armor was still on Its body. "No blood?"
"To think... We would fight her children... To others it is considered a heresy among the King."
"What does that mean? I keep hearing "Her Children" but I still don't know what any of you are talking about!"
"For us it is not our right or place to tell you. We apologize... Even if the Swamp Witch has binded to a contract we still hold our honor."
"I see... Then I'll make you tell me." Around her neck the red jewel began to glow brightly as her Familiar and friend Ambrosius appeared once more. Riding on top of him she turned her blade into a lance with her shield right by her side. The two glared at each other before their horse started galloping both going at extreme speeds! Everytime the two passed by each other sparks flew like fire works with their steeds skidding around. When they made contact again they were in each others faces with their horses running in circles as the two knights kept clashing.
It's lance turned back into a blade as it was covered in curse magic. Bringing Its blade down meant she had to block it, but she had something different in mind. Tossing her shield aside she grab the wrist of her opponent to Its surprise. "What?!"
"TAKE THIS!" Her lance was covered in a blue light before stabbing Its chest. "COMET PIERCE!" The lance pierced through its armor before she started taking off with it as they were covered in that same blue light. The armor started to desintergrate right off pieces by piece until only its soul was left. "NOW TELL ME! WHO IS WERBELLIA!?"
"To be killed by her kin... It's an honor for us..." It muttered before laughing a little. "Annelotte... Tread carefully for the Swamp Witch shall enter a new body... Free her from her torment... She wishes to see the three of you again... Tread carefully, Child of Werbellia. You have our blessings..." The knight had dropped Its sword before it vanished into thin air. In a beautiful light the armor started breaking down to pieces as the sounds of laughter and cheer could be heard soaring straight through the clouds above... "Thank you..."
As the light died down she stood there breathing while petting her familiar. Her Valkirye form stopped as she was back to normal. "Her kin..." Was all she said thinking about it. If what they say is true then... "I'm..."
"Yo! Annelotte!" She turned around to see June flying to her with slashes across her body and tears on her clothes. "I think we got it."
"Good to know you're still in one piece."
"Back at ya, but I think we got bigger fish to fry." He pointed at the incoming swarm of demons. "Can you keep up?"
"Can you?" She gave her a smirk that made the King only chuckle. The two took a deep breath together before charging in at the incoming horde! The ship was still safe but not for long... Claudette began to tense up at how painful doing this attack was for a long time. The veins in her arms started to pump until her entire arm started to bleed. Screaming in agony made her drop her weapon while clutching her blood covered limb. Her healing abilities surpressed it for only minimal effect but do to how much power she need to use it caused a discharge in her arm. Any more and her arm would have exploded right off!
"Queen Claudette!" Sigui ran to her highness who had tears in her eyes with her teeth grinding. "Hold on! I'll heal you!"
"Think of me... Later!" He looked to see the horde coming in that escaped from the King and Princess Knight attack! They came into straight at the nun and Queen for an attack that would take off their heads, only to be interrupted by someone else!
"HOLY..." Menace caused a golden fist to appear behind her before punching one of them to stop it dead in its track before more slammed into to create a line. "FIST!" Pushing forward Menace caused the horde to be sent flying back then seeing them cut into pieces. Following a laugh like no other was Melona having a pair of wings with her hands and strangs of her hair being turned into blades.
"Not bad!" She commented returning to the ship looking at her friend and sister wife. They looked to see more coming their way that caused them to get worried. When they were ready for what would come next a thunderous roar surrounded them before the ship was encapsuled in a golden sphere. Appearing around the sphere was a golden dragon flying ever so beautifully around it before wrapping its body around it. The two looked to see the Shai-Fang sisters mediating while holding onto items from their homeland. Tarnyang held onto her sword being covered in runes and a golden light as Sainyang has her hands together with 4 coins floating in front of her.
"Everyone go help the others!" Melpha told them as they looked at her and Sigui. "We will protect the ship and provide you with healing from above!"
"Don't worry! We'll look after everyone!"
"How are we gonna get down?!" Luna Luna asked her before Melona sneaked up behind her.
"Use the ropes." Liliana told them as her pirates grabbed long lengths of rope of all of them then tying it to the ship. "Be careful, just because we took one out doesn't mean they'll be any weaker. It like trapping an animal in the corner, they'll go all out." They all nodded to that as they started to swing down into the ground to help the others.
"I'll provide back up!" Yuit told them as she began firing in all areas so the they could get down safely. "TAKE THIS!" Pressing one buttons had Vante's shoulders open to show a pair of light cannons that desimated anything in their paths. "Whoa! These are crazy!"
"What can I say? I think we have out done ourselves!" Ymir smirked at her new lastest design. The light cannon were fired from a power source that could only be found deep beneath gem mountain. Thanks Eilin, Vante run on two different power sources giving her double the attack power!
On the ground they saw how much of a handful they had. Irma and Echidna were having their fair share of problems as the Wild Elf was trying her best to look at her enemies nails. Anytime she got a chance she disappeared without a trace. She backed away from the both of them to take a moment at the occuring event. "I see... So they were defeated." She sighed at the annoyance of her comrad. "Good riddance I say. That fool held onto to such trivial things as "Honor" and "Glory". A mass of souls is a mass of fools..."
"You don't care that we killed your ally?" Irma questioned her getting angry.
"Why the Hell should I?" She smirked at them before brushing her hair back then looking at them with those Godforsaken eyes of hers. That's when Echidna saw something... Her finger nails...
"Irma, I see it." She whispered to her. "Is that what you meant?"
"It looks like my hunch is correct then." She whispered back. "She can phase in and out, but the body that hasn't turned to smoke yet is still able to be attacked."
"So, what you're saying is we need to hit the body part that is forming and hasn't turned into smoke yet?"
"This again? Go on, no matter what plans you have to kill me it won't do you any good... Cause all of you will die HERE!" The winds started to pick up once again, this time with hail starting to fall! She turned into smoke once again encircling the two not knowing where she'll appear. Soon she formed so quick they didn't catch it but dodged it in by jumping back. Quickly she threw a knife at the Lust Filled Demon before turning into smoke as a single thread of hair fell out. "YOU WHORE!" She screamed at the Assassin who was thinking where she was going to appear. "I'LL KILL YOU FIRST!"
"I'd like to see you try!" She responded getting ready for her attack. Soon she saw the black smoke forming around her as she block the blade before slashing more threads of hair that caused to get more furious. Echidna came in with kick that had a blade attached to her heel as the knight blocked it.
She turned to smoke once again but until Irma was able to land a cut right on her wrist! She formed once more looking at her wrist as he eye became slits before charging right in. Irma went to go for a clean cut to the head only or it to fail as her body became smoke as Echidna saw the opening! She stabbed the Knight's leg to hear a shriek of pain coming from her! It was working! They both looked around them to see where she would attack next not seeing her anywhere at the moment...
"IRMA!" Echidna tried to warn her seeing the black smoke creeping up behind Irma who only smiled. Quickly she thrusted her sword behind her feeling it made impact... Turning around to see Knight with a face of anger that was destroying her beauty. In shock she didn't realize that she was opened for a cut to her face.
Soon she disappeared standing far away from the two with her fist shaking. "How could this be...? To be wounded by the likes of mortals..."The winds began to get colder that caused them to shiver harshly. "I'll kill you... I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" Soon the hail became stronger that it blocked their visions as she relentlessly attacked the two! Scars appeared around the two as they couldn't even block her attacks!
"IRMA! ECHIDNA!" Naomi looked at the two trapped in only to be open for an attack! The Hell Knight came in with both arms as the Martial Artist paniced!
"HOLY! STOMP!" In the blink of an eye Menace came down with her foot surrounded in holy light as she slammed hard into the knight as she made it skid into the ground! She added more to the damage by jumping and flipping the knight on Its stomach then slamming back down causing a bigger tremor! She kicked off then landed back to Naomi with a backflip.
"Holy shit..." Risty said looking at the damage.
"Thank goodness you're alright!" She hugged Naomi tightly as her breast squished hers together.
"Happy to see you too, but did you just do a kickflip?" Menace let go her with a confused look on her face.
"What's a kickflip?"
"N-Nevermind... I'm gonna go help Irma and Echidna! Back up everyone else!" The Queen of Amara nodded as Naomi rushed into hail storm that surrounded the two. "Hold on guys!" She powered up the gauntlets to the next level as they surrouned her arms again. The loud sounds of an engine revving up with flames shooting out of the exhaust ports of the gauntlets made the hail start to melt!
She witnessed the Knight about to deal a killing blow to Irma but was just in time to block the attack! "You bitch!" She cursed at her before trying to stab her in the side but blocked it with her other hand. Head butting the Knight before delivering a powerful punch only for it to lose contact as she turned into a puff of smoke again. "Coming to help them was a big mistake! I'LL KILL YOU ALL! YOU WON'T LEAVE THIS PLACE ALIVE!"
"Wanna bet?" Naomi smirked before taking a deep breath. "Alright! HERE WE GO!" She revved up her gauntlets as the flames turned into pure blue before she started twisting her body to grab momentum to placing her hand on the ground then started to spin. Her shoulders keeping to the ground with her body and legs spinning at high speeds. That when it started to get hot... REALLY HOT! Her body was surrounded her by the flames that caused the hail to melt as the grieves she wore made the wind bend to her will as it caused a tornado of fire to appear! All around them caused the hail to stop instantly with a shriek of pain coming from the Knight! "SOLAR WINDMILL!" Soon the hail ended with knight putting herself out from the flames as she looked at the martial artist with a death glare! Naomi stood back up with a fire in her eyes!
"Y-YOU...!" She charged in with no care in the world, she just wanted her dead! Naomi blocked the blade then punching her right in the face only to let lose a fury of punches! Weaving her head back and forth while slamming punches left and right as the demon missed all of attacks! She turned back into smoke to then appearing once more at her side to try to take her head off, only for it to be blocked by a familiar Wild Elf that came to her side!
"AIM FOR THE WHAT'S STILL THERE!" She yelled at Naomi before pushing off the Knight to slashing at her side! She disappeared once more then coming back on top of them only for Irma to block the attack to give Naomi an opening to lay a clean hook on her cheek! Her once beautiful face was covered in bruises, marks and burns but Naomi didn't let up! The Knight tried to escape but she couldn't... Her consciouness fading in and out from these relentless attacks. What woke her up was Naomi delivering a knee her in the guts that almost caused the demon to puke from how hard it was! Delivering an axe kick straight to her head caused her to bounce on the ground only to be kicked again.
"ECHIDNA!"
"With pleasure!" She smirked before drawing her blades as she stabbed the knight in her abdomen where it hurt as she started cutting around her body especially on her wrist, tendons and hills. "Irma!" The said assassin threw many knives that connected on impact that caused her to scream and curse. "NAOMI! WRAPPED THIS UP!" Both teacher and student kicked the demon at the same time as her vision saw an angry Naomi with her fist cocked.
"DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU ALL!" The Knight still pulled out her blades on her before trying to kill Naomi again! "YOU ARE NOTHING BUT MERE STAINS ON THE FLOOR! I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED BY THE LIKES OF LITTLE WHORES LIKE YOU!"
"You just did."Dodging the blade by a hair she launched a powerful uppercut as a pillar of blue flames surrounded her as the knight started screaming in agony at this pain. This wasn't pleasureable... No... This was just pure pain! Her body being torn into pieces until nothing was left. As the flames died down Naomi let out a sigh at how much it can wear her out. "Two down..." She said looking at the last two that stood in their way.
Cerberus was slammed Its heads against the Behemoth before biting Dio's neck. "LET HIM GO!" Naomi shouted at the beast as she jumped high into the sky then landing right on one of the heads. She stared straight into Its eyes before slashing it clean open as the blood of Cerberus oozed out aswell as it cried out in pain. Letting go of the Behemoth gave him the opening he needed by tackling the three headed dog to the floor.
"LEAVE IT TO US!" Behind the group came both Ymir and Eilin running at the beast. The Gemstone Princess hopped onto Behemoth's back as he gave her a boost of air. She spun around with her warhammer gaining enough momentum before slamming everything she had onto one of the heads as it roared! "YMIR!"
"GOT IT! Eli, give me a boost!"
"You got it!" He grabbed the dwarf as he threw her as hard as he could straight at the head Eilin had damaged. In a flat second she took off Its head as it layed motionless on the ground. "Nice!"
"WATCH OUT!" Ymir looked at what was coming and it was Cerberus tail! Soon the copped off limb grew out even more heads of snakes!
"S-S-SNAKES!-!-!" Ymir started running away from the incoming horde before tripping and falling onto the ground. "NOOOOO! GET AWAY!" She was close to crying at how close they came only for the attack to be stopped as all the heads were slashed off once again!
"Ymir, are you okay?!" She looked up to see Eli standing over her with concern in his eyes until the dwarf quickly hugged in tight. "Come on! Let's go!" It was too late with the beast stomping his paw ontop of the two with half-demon holding up his paw! "B-Bastard!" He could see the hellhound grinning at him.
With all the strength he could muster the half-demon pushed off Cerberus to get it off balance with Dio ramming straight into Its body! "I GOT THIS!" Izumi shouted coming in full charge as the War God Spirit gave her more power. She unsheathed her blade in the split of a second appearing by the side of Cerberus. Slowly sheathing her katana as it clicked together with a slit of blood spraying out from Its other head before it fell off.
The beast backed away from the group glaring at them all. The only thing he could do was howl to the sky above loudly for anyone to hear. "Time to put you down!" Eli charged straight forward at the beast as he slashed the final head off with Its body limbing down... Lifeless and unmoving...
"That's another one down!" Eilin happily cheered until a loud thudding was heard. Everyone looked to see the last Knight standing idlely by with Its head down... It started to breathe raggedly before staring up into the heavens above. What they saw was a crack forming on the helmet to open what seemed like a mouth of some sort. Its eyes became a soul piercing white as the Demon started shouting loudly that caused the birds and animals to flee! This was a shout of a monster... No... It was a cry of torment...
"What the fuck?!" Risty cursed seeing the Knight running on all fours straight at her! "BRING IT ON!" She stood her ground with Luna Luna and Menace coming to her side! What they didn't expect was it to jump over all of them and passed Eli's group aswell! The Knight stood by the corpse of Cerberus looking at the beast before it started slowly putting its head above it... Its maw opened wide as the Knight started devouring the beast like how a predator eats its hunt.
"Its..." Elina was too shocked at the scene in front of her to even finish her sentence.
"Just like before, the demon is about to gain more power!" Alleyne started to panic at this. Not again! "Seto!" Alleyne shouted for her son who still rode on top of the white wolf. "Stay far away from here, do you hear me?!"
"Y-Yes mother!" The boy had never seen his own mother so angry before.
"Captain, what do you mean "before?" Before what?!" Nowa asked her teacher who turned pale at the memories of what she was seeing... How could she tell her what had happened?!
"Stay focused!" Claudette commanded trying to get everyone back on track. "Here It comes!" The Knight rosed up with a bloody mouth from consuming the corpse as its armor began to break as another set of arms appeared under the first set. Spikes shot out of its spine with it coming out long enough to form a skeletal tail. The armor began twisting and turning like a corruption had surrounded it as Its body grew at a colossal rate! It was a big as Cerberus!
The beast roared loudly at the Rebellion before it charged in! "I DON'T THINK SO!" Eli shouted at it blocked the beast with all his strength trying to push it back! "BASTARD!"
"COUSIN! NOW!" Ymir nodded at her cousin as the two ran to other sides to get the drop on the Knight, only for that plan to fail harshly as the second pair of arms took a hold of the Dwarves. It started squeezing the two in agonizing pain that caused Eli to panic!
"LET EM GO!" He shouted having a flare hellish red in his eyes. "NOW!" The Half-Demon let all of his anger go as he transformed in front of everyone! His horns grown out, his hair had changed, his limbs were inhuman and his teeth had fangs! With enough strength he pushed off the Berserker Knight before delivering an upper cut that caused to stun it.
"Leave it to us!" Shizuka and Tomoe jumped straight onto its back before slashing the arms off to free the two dwarves. Both catching them at the same time as the two landed on the ground. "They're okay!"
"Let go!" Risty shouted running straight at the monster before delivering a powerful kick that dented its armor as Menace did the same thing on the other side. The Knight spun rapidly with the tail knocking both of them away from Itself before it jumped high into the air again. It landed perfectly on the ground causing an earthquake to keep them off balance as it started firing bullets of curse energy straight out of its mouth!
"GET BEHIND ME!" Menace shouted summon a large pyramid of Holy Magic before it broke apart to create a wall for cover. "I don't know how long I can do this!" She told them at they saw from behind the barrier was Its arms growing back again! "Shit!"
"Tomoe, Shizuka and Izumi! You three will focus on the arms!" The Queen ordered as all three from Hinomoto nodded. "Alleyne, Nowa, Nyx and Elina try to distract Its attention to give us an opening! Risty, Naomi, Ymir, Eilin, Eli and Menace all 6 of you will be the heavy hitters!"
"Leave it to us!" Ymir nodded with a confident look on her face with Risty having a grin that showed she was excited!
"GUYS!" The barrier began to crack!
"Mirim, Echidna, Irma and Luna Luna I'm counting on the you to get below and attack Its underside!" Her young sister nodded to that as so did the others. "Leina we're gonna finish it off when we have the chance! And Dio," The Behemoth looked at the Queen with a curious look. "Try to take out as many demons in the forest as you can! Don't let up and help the Wolf." The Behemoth let out a soft moan before speeding off into the forest knocking around many like bowling pins. "Everyone ready?! GO!"
Menace summoned all of her power to shoot out a sphere of magic straight at it causing it to staggar! The whole group began charging at the Knight with the Elves and Fire User grabbing It's attention. Nyx shooting out balls of fire before she summoned of wall that spooked it like an animal, with Alleyne and Nowa covering both of Its eyes! The two elves jumped off Its head and straight onto Its back where the arms tried grabbing them.
The three from Hinomoto slashed the second pair away but it only grew four more! It did not matter as they had a job to do. Elina saw her opening as she used the steel wired whip of her weapon and tied it around the beasts neck to get it to listen to her like as if was a horse. "Go! Go! Go!" Naomi shouted with her ground as they all attacked in unison! Every hit they made caused a larger dent to appear but it fought back thrashing around Its weight as it made them back off.
"Bastard!" Eli cursed before the spikes surrounded in curse magic as it started shooting beams of magic that homed in on the Rebellion!
"HOLD ON!" Nyx shouted summoned shields of fire under around everyone as it blocked the attack! "Do it now!"
Echidna nodded to her as her group charged straight through dodging the many fist that were were smashing the ground. They were given back up by everyone else as they made safely. "Mirim! Cut the armor now!"
"Okay!" The Vibration Stones started powering up at maximum power causing her to feel the same situation once more, but it made Echidna smirk at the thought of what she can do this girl. Back to the battle at hand Mirim stabbed upwards straight through the armor before slashing away to cut a large hole in Its armor to reveal Its skin. Disgustingly green with hints of red lumbs and mud that almost made Luna Luna vomit.
All four of them stabbed at the beast in a power thrust causing it to howl in horrible pain. "Mirim! Show the heart!" The Dancer ordered her as she cut the underside of the armor to show where the heart was.
"Eli!" Echidna called out to the half-demon who ran straight in holding nothing back to deliver a heavy kick to the head. That one kick shot the demon up to show the skin where the heart reside!
"DO IT!"
"Ready Leina?!"
"I'm with you!" The two sister two in a stance as their blades were swirling a power energy and magic that only they can perform together! With one thrust the sound of a might dragon roared across the land!
"THUNDER DRAGON TAIL!"
"THUNDER DRAGON TAIL!"
A blue dragon was released from the Vance sisters as it shot straight through the Knight's heart and soared straight through the skies breaking apart the bloody clouds above to reveal a beautiful blue sky.
"Whoa!" Melona seeing the dragon rising to the Heavens that caught the Princess Knight and the King's attention. They looked to see the demons retreat back to the north... To the Swamp...
"It's almost time..." June said to herself feeling the end coming near. "Come on, let's group with everyone else." Both Melona and Annelotte nodded to that decision as all three of them came down to see everyone safe and sound.
"Juan!" Luna Luna couldn't help but jump right onto the King that caused many glares to appear.
"Hey! That's enough damn it!" Naomi shouted which only made the Dancer stick her tongue out. "Why you-!"
"Did you see us?! We were super cool!"
"Yeah, you guys really stole the spot light!" June told them with a proud smile on her face. "Alright, come on... The Calibara Forest is just up ahead!"
"I can't wait!" Luna Luna became giddy like a school girl wrapping her tentacles around the other girl. Her leg going inbetween hers... That when she noticed something... "Huh?" Right in front of everyone she placed her hand right onto June's crotch.
"W-Wha?!" Alleyne couldn't help but blush along with her sister wives.
"What on Earth are you doing?!" Tomoe shouted at the Dancer.
"But look!" Unbuckling her pants in a panic she pulled them down for everyone to see. Some turning away at the sight the moment she pulled them down.
"W-WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!" Eli shouted turning away from such a sight. Hearing the screams from the dwarves, little elf, Elina, Izumi and Mirim. Seeing that both of them and his Captain turned around with a blush on their faces.
"OH MY GOD!" Naomi shouted at it.
"IT'S BACK!" Leina was surprised.
"NO WAY!" Annelotte was stunned.
"FUCK YEAH!" Risty shouted to the heavens. "I haven't gotten any in 4 years! Juan! Me and you! Behind that tree! Now!"
"Hold on! Aren't you at least WONDERING why this happened?!" Irma stopped the Bandit.
"Who cares?! His dick is back and big as I remember! That's all I need to know!"
"B-Big...?!" A sweet and innocent Mirim wanted to take a quick peek but didn't. That didn't stop Izumi though who quickly covered her eyes again... Then taking another peek.
"W-Whoa..." Was all she could say before Tomoe placed her hands right over the farmer girl.
"Although I am curious..." Shizuka said scratching her chin. "Why is do you have it back?"
"Can I put my pants back on please?" The King asked zipping her pants and buckling it. "I think I know why. It's safe to look now by the way." Everyone turned back to see June with her arms crossed. "I remember being told that my body will start being turned back to normal... I guess this is a sign that it is."
"Still... That's quite a sign." Tomoe blushed, but a little excited seeing it again.
"A BIG sign." Melona smirked making a lewd gesture to the priestess with a smirk. "This is good news cause now we can play our favorite late night game again."
"Do I wanna know?" Elina asked in disgust.
"Even I don't wanna know..." Eli was in the same boat.
"Well you kids wouldn't understand." She said with a smirk. "Tomoe always loses though. Can't guess the difference since her heads are always in the clouds."
"M-MELONA!" The Priestess shouted before being hugged by said Slime Girl.
"You know I love you!" She said cutely while giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Enough distractions." Claudette commanded. "I... I..." She sighed with a blush. "I'll admit I'm a little happy about it too, but we need to keep it together."
"Claudette's right." Nyx said getting everyone's attention. "Those 3 were quite powerful and if I remember there are 9 layers of Hell... That's six more to go."
"Then we better be ready." Echidna held determination in her voice. "No way are we gonna lose to those freaks."
"Then let's go!" Luna Luna bounced up and down. "I know for a fact that what we need is inside the temple!" Everyone had gathered up into the ship once more to see the Village but below them. After that fight some of the villagers started firing arrows at them. They couldn't really blame anyone for that after the fight they had done. "CHIEF!" Luna Luna shouted down below causing the arrows to halt.
The ship came down onto ground floor causing everyone in the village to gather round. Soon they saw the Dancer jump off as everyone had a smile on their face! "Luna Luna!" The Chief couldn't help but smile knowing that she was home. "It's so good to see you again!"
"Thank you so much! Oh that's right!"
Later that night
"I FORBID IT!" The Elder of the village shouted slamming his hands on the ground.
"WHAT?! Chief you need to understand why!"
"Don't forget what happened before Luna Luna! The Ruins are a sacred place only us can see! Outsiders are-!"
"THE SWAMP WITCH IS PLANNING ON DESTROYING THE CONTINENT!" She shouted at him causing him to flinch. "If we don't use whatever is in the Ruins now then we have no hope of defeating her!" The Elder looked down with a sigh... Maybe he would consider it!
"I'm sorry... But no." He told her before standing up. "We'll prepare a feast for you all... But no one is allowed in the Ruins. I'm sorry." He stood up and exited the room leaving an angry Sunlight Dancer before she turned into the Moonlight Dancer having a smirk on her face.
In one of the buildings everyone was chowing down loads of food after the fight, although it was mainly Risty who was eating everything in her sight. "Damn, it's like you haven't eaten anything in years..." Tarnyang said at small city of dishes and plates right beside Risty.
"4 years to be exact." She replied to the Shai-Fang sister stuffing her face again.
"Well, hopefully you don't eat the whole place up." Irma joked eating next to her.
"What's wrong Juan?" Nyx asked her husband and the Princess Knight. "You've barely touched your food."
The King had a full plate of delicious food right in front of her but couldn't help but be suspicious about it. "Don't worry." Sneaking up behind him was the Dancer herself wrapping her arms around her. "I looked over everything. Nothing strange put in like last time."
"Last time?" Shizuka couldn't help be curious about what she meant by that. Luna Luna took a seat right beside June while holding a fork with some food on it.
"Say 'Ahhh!'" She couldn't resist the smile the Sunlight Dancer had on her face. Doing so she placed the food inside her mouth as she thought they looked like a newly wed couple. She got close to her ear before whispering something. "Meet me outside in a bit..." The Dancer had a serious tone in her voice that caught her off guard.
After eating some more the King exited the feast but still heard everyone having a good time. Seeing everyone together like this... She couldn't help but smile.
"Hey Liliana! Let's have a chugging contest!"
"N-No thank you."
"Come on! BOTTOMS UP!"
"I SAID NO!"
Risty was forcing the Pirate Captain to drink that made June sigh. "Geez, what am I gonna do with them?" She walked through the village passing by the villagers to meet the Dancer, but there was no sign of her. She looked everywhere even the jail cell that they kept her in during her first visit. There's only one place she knew where she could be. Climbing the stairs she noticed someone at the top at the entrance of the Ruins.
Dancing. Luna Luna was Dancing to the Moon above her with an elegant, seductive and beautiful dance. Her hips gyrated slowly with her arms moving like shes pulling in the light from the moon. She stood on one leg with her tentacles moving hypnoticly like they were dancing with her arms and hands. It was like she was glowling beautifully as the flames that reside on the entrance made it beautiful like her. She started gyrating her hips again with her arms raised as the tentacles danced above, her breast bouncing softly with the rhythm of Luna Luna's movements. Her arms then spread like she was asking the moon as her body began to surround itself in Moonlight.
"Beautiful." Was all June could say.
"Thank you." The Calibara woman smiled before looking at her with a smile. "That was a sacred dance only I as the Moonlight Dancer can do."
"What was it?"
"Oh a special dance~" She winked at her as June walked all he way up the entrance. "When you're back to normal I'll do another dance just for you and me."
"If I didn't know any better if I would assume it was some sort of Ritual Dance."
"Oh it's something like that~" She placed her arms around her again with the tentacles as well. "It's something that the two Dancers must do before a special moment."
"Really?" She got closer to her.
"Really really." The two kissed each other again for what felt like an eternity for the Dancer. When they broke apart she calmed herself down and reverted back to the Sunlight Dancer again. "The Chief said 'no' to the plan."
"Damn..."
"But don't worry!" She smiled once again before turning back into Moonlight. "We're gonna steal it."
"You sure about that?" June was worried about that plan. "This is your home, your village... Stealing something like this would be..."
"I know, but sometimes rules are meant to be broken." The King couldn't help but smirk at that. She's learning! "When the village is asleep let's all meet up here." She nodded to that plan. As the moon shined brightly above the night sky, the whole Rebellion stood together at the entrance of the ruins.
"Amazing." Melpha said at the beauty that the ruins captured. "To think these are ancient."
"I've heard about this place, but never thought I would be here honestly." Echidna put out with the knowledge of Wild Elves and Calibara being enemies.
"This place is sacred." Luna Luna told them. "What lies beyond these doors is what could help us against the Swamp Witch."
"Oh? And just what is behind those so called Ancient ruins?" Elina asked half annoyed and half-asleep.
"A god." June told them with Siqui looking at him in shock. "If what Luna Luna says is true, then we're gonna need it."
"I feel like a heretic for relying on another god..." Siqui looked down with June placing a hand on her shoulder.
"The big guy forgives. Don't worry."
"Shall we go in?" Annelotte asked the Dancer who nodded to her. Facing the door she placed her hands on with spots starting to glow a strange light with the Dancer doing the same. She placed her hands and tentacles on the glowing circles with the only one left being the center as she placed the horn on her waist against the door. When it opened everyone looked amazed at the inside of it. "This is..."
"Whoa..." Aldra couldn't keep it in her.
"Insane..." Eli looked around the place.
"This is the god?" Siqui asked herself with as everyone took a step inside. "What is this?" The symbol on the ground has the same pattern as the door outside.
"It's a little dark in here... Vante." Yuit commanded the Automaton with light coming from her eyes. "Huh, doesn't look like a god to me..." Her eyes traced along the statue in front of them until the light hit the orb in front of its eyes.
"What's this?" Mirim looked at the center of the ruins standing in one of the rings. When she did the rings started to glow one after another but the one she stood had pillar of light shoot to the roof. Looking up they saw the ceiling matched the center of the room. "I-I DIDN'T DO IT!"
Vante turned off the lights everything died down. "What was that?" Yuit asked the Dancer who shrugged her shoulders. "What do you mean you don't know?!"
"It's a key to something..." Echidna said touching the floor. "But to operate it... That's a mystery on its own."
"Wait... Luna Luna how did that poem go again?" The King asked wanting to figure it out.
"Those who protect, those who have been entrusted with something, and those who pray. When united under a just light, a great power will illuminate the future." She finished the poem with everyone trying to figure it out.
"The poem and 7 rings..." Melpha tried her best to put it together.
"Leina, stand in the ring." June told her as she did still unsure of it. She stood in the front ring of the flower where Mirim once stood. "Vante, shine your light." The automaton nodded with the light turning on once more but this time nothing happening. "Hmm... Mirim, take Leina's place."
"O-Okay." When the Wandering Warrior step off with the Valkyrie taking her place it happened again! Yuit called off the lights with the ruins calming down once more.
"I think I get it now..." June thought about it with everyone looking at her. "Three orbs... A just light..."
"Isn't tonight when the three moons overlap one another?" Risty asked everyone. "Maybe... That's the key to it?"
"I think you're on to something." Naomi told her honestly. "Well Juan?"
"I think I got it figured out..."
After some time with everything in position, 7 members of the Rebellion stood in the rings. Mirim in the front, Luna Luna to the front left, Yuit in the front right, Tarnyang on the lower right, Sainyang on the lower left, Siqui in the back and Annelotte in the center of it all. "You think this will work?" Elina asked.
"It has to..." Nyx gripped her staff tightly. "Otherwise we are out of options..."
"Now!" The King commanded as Vante turned on the lights once more. The whole center began to light up in an sortment of colors as pillars of light shot out the rings! That's when they heard it. A pulse. The ruins began shaking like an earthquake was happening outside, but it was the ruins instead! This caused the White Wolf and Dio to crouch down in fear they might lose their balance.
Outside the villagers all woke up to the loud rumbling outside, as they saw their sacred place acting weird. "Oh no..." The Elder witnessed the two stone structures starting to seperate even farther until they sunk down. What rose up instead was the tip of a castle... No, a Fortress! In the full glory it showed to looked almost like a crab in structure with the helmet of a knight.
"WHAT IS THAT?!"
"IT'S THE GOD! THE GOD OF THE RUINS!"
"Luna Luna you didn't..." Soon he saw the Pirate ship that Liliana used float into the sky.
"Thank you for the wonderful treasure." She laughed like would normally do before flying away.
On the inside of the fortress everyone looked outside to see how high they were! "WHOA!" Nowa shouted almost wanting a closer view of the head. "Captain look! It's huge!"
"What is this?!" Elina shouted almost feeling like she was crazy.
"Bligh..." Luna Luna told her. "That is the name of the god."
"It's a fortress..." Alleyne was astounded by its size. That when they its leg moving along with the rest in a good pace. "It can move?!"
"Whoa... This is insane!" Izumi commented.
"Juan!" The Pirate Captain stood behind the railing of her ship with her arms crossed. "Where to next, King?" She gave him a smirk that told him everything he needed to know.
"You should know that by now." The King stepped up with her sword drawn, pointing straight ahead. "Fortress Bligh, let's march on to the North! Where the Swamp Witch resides!" The eyes lit up with sound of humming coming straight from the fortress itself!
Will they be able acheive the impossible?
Or will they fall where many have tried?
They don't know unless they fight!
Somewhere close, yet oh so far she resided... She stood there in her throne with many others by her side. "My Lady, Limbo, Lust and Gluttony have fallen." One of the Knights was on one knee having to break the bad news.
"I saw..." She made a crystal ball appear in her hands showing the fight that had transpired. "It is now your turn... Go forth and do NOT fail me like your bretheren..."
"Right away my Lady." The knight left the throne room leaving only the Swamp Witch there with everyone else.
"Do you trust them Milady?" Said a voice in the shadows.
"No, if they act incompetent then I'll just get rid of them... It's the last three I have hope for though..."
"Do you wish for me to act as back up?"
Giving it some thought she may as well thought it was a good idea. "Yes, keep a watchful eye on them. I'm counting on you, Anarista..."
Stepping out of the shadow the silver haired traitor of Amara smirked. "Thank you, Milady." She soon walked out of the room leaving the Swamp Witch to think for a moment.
"How is my new body coming along?"
"It's coming along great, Milady. It's almost as exquiste as you."
"Perfect, thank you. That will be all." The maid was about to enter the portal to another part of the castle. "Also, I'm quite hungry... Can you cook something for me... Airi?"
Standing there with look of disgrace and shame she swallowed everything she had to answer. "Yes, Milady."
"Thank you, I will talk to you soon." The maid had left leaving her alone with her thoughts and the crystal ball. "It seems they have found a new toy. This should be interesting~"
Ending is Big Blast Sonic from Guilty Gear
Starts with flashes of Eli and Aldra before it cuts to Annelotte
Annelotte stands next to Ambroius on the head of Bligh with the sun rising from the horizon.
Eli sits on the steps in the center of the temple memories of his childhood
Annelotte stood outside remembering her underworld blood controlling her,
Aldra stands out in the balcony wanting to know what she forgot
All three of them clutch their fist tight with a look of determination on their faces
Everyone fights together having each others back and not surrendering to the enemies in front of them. Leina uses the Dragon Tail, Claudette uses the Primal Thunder Clap and June goes in front of them charging in with her sword drawn high in the air before slashing down with a grin on her face.
The Rebellion stands together smiling with no fear in them what so ever at the fight in front of them. June places her hand on Annelotte as the two nodded gazing at the Swamp Witches castle!
