"Hey guys-" Slim prime then ducks into cover once the readers launch their own attack at him.
"I know I know it's been a WHILE but here is the next chapter so let's put away all the deadly objects and talk about this."
No one puts away their weapon/energy orb.
"Hehehe how about some guest reviews ah."
1 Guest: "What are you on about? He has only lost one time."
EndMe: "Yup when you think about it guardians are OP."
3 Guest: "He Might get a legendary weapon but I think we are saving that for a special occasion".
Papascorch: "Maybe they will make a appearance, maybe they won't, we'll see".
Sairen Ray: "We appreciate it, I've been helping him with editing and and he's been getting better".
Mujahideen: "Well considering that their forces are split up it might take a while plus they would need some allies to help them".
"That's enough reviews, now onto the story".
Plasma was thrown against a tree, a part of his jaw was hanging from his face plate and his right arm missing, torn off by the creature they were fighting. His torso had many dents in it and a few punctures, at this point the only thing keeping him online was his tanky build.
Slender Man soon joined him by his side however he landed on his feet and slid to Plasma's side. Slender Man's suit was ruffed up but he had no signs of damage on his frame. He stood up using his right hand to remove the dust from his left shoulder while he stared down his opponent.
Said opponent stalked forward growling as she got closer. The dragon king reared back her head before shooting fire out from her mouth. The blue fire shot towards the two but was stopped dead in its tracks when Slender Man deployed a shield made from dark energy.
"Hey slender dude." Plasma said his jaw moving weird while sparking from the damage. "You wouldn't happen to know anything about EXO engineering."
Slender Man did not look at him as he was maintaining the shield that was stopping them from being burnt to a crisp. One could not see it, due to Slander Man's lack of a face, but he was grinding his teeth. Slender Man knew that Tiamat was powerful but this was ridiculous, he could feel his shield failing but Tiamat's breath attack was not this strong.
She was also not attacking blindly as most dragons were prone to, there was a strategy to her attacks. First, she led them into a trap by making him think that she would be keeping an eye on Jonathan when in truth she was looking at nothing. Second, she went after Plasma first somehow she knew that he had lost his Light and that he would be attacking at range. Once Plasma was rendered unable to fight she forced on him, keeping Slender Man in a constant state of retreat without giving him room to make his own attack.
Then there was the strength of her attacks. Slender Man had heard many stories about Tiamat's prowess in battle and he was estimating her strength when he compared her strength to his own. He thought himself on relative par with Tiamat but based on how this fight was turning out Tiamat was on a whole another power level then him. If things kept up as they were then Slender Man would be forced to retreat so Plasma could be repaired and he could rest.
Tiamat's fire cut off allowing Slender Man to drop his shields before falling to one knee.
"You are not strong enough to defeat me Slender Man." Tiamat hissed to the Tall Man. "I know you never leave your forest without good reason and since that thing-"
"EXO!" Plasma called back.
"-Is with you I can only assume that you are here for my mate." Tiamat finished glaring at Slender Man. "You should know better than to steal from a dragon much less a dragon king!"
'So she is at the point of viewing Jonathan as a one of her treasures, wunderbar.'Slender Man thought to himself as he stood up.
"And you should know then to force my friends into a forced mating." The Tall Man hissed back letting his tentacles appeared from his back.
Tiamat bared her teeth at him before she charged bringing her front claws to bare on the two. Slender Man used his tentacles to catch Tiamat's claws as he could not simple dodge out of the way as Plasma could not move on his own.
The blue dragoness started to overpower Slender Man. Using one of his free tentacles Slender Man grabbed Plasma's broken body before he jumped away from Tiamat, letting go of her front claws in the process. Having no other option Slender Man decided it would be best to come back to look for Jonathan alone, as bringing Plasma did not turn out how he thought it would.
The Tall Man started to take large leaps away from Tiamat trying to put as much distance between him and the dragon as possible. However Tiamat was not about to let them go as she flew after them shooting fire at them as they retreated.
Slender Man dodged the incoming fire balls as they came at him, while he used his magic to make a portal. He did not have to pool his magic for long as a black portal opened behind him allowing the two to escape back to the human world.
Tiamat's wings extended bring her to a halt before she started to hover in place. A smile danced on the dragon king's face as she looked at the spot where the two thieves jumped into the portal. They thought that she would not notice when they entered the familiar forest.
Fools both of them.
She had a feeling that they were after her mate, her treasure, and as fate would have it she was right. Tiamat had set a trap for them by pretending to be watching her mate and they came right into her trap. She knew that robotic human was similar to her mate but not as powerful but even so he was the first one she targeted to be sure.
Once he was finished she focused on Slender Man keeping on him as she knew he was a ranged fighter when he fought someone of equal power. All she had to do was keep him in striking distance and occasionally throw an a attack or two at the robotic human to keep him off balance.
In the end they were forced to retreat, and with them gone she could focused on making her mate submit to her.
Speaking of.
Tiamat turned and started to fly towards her cave to think of some way to make her mate submit to her. She knew that the normal tactic for making mates submit to their dragon lovers would not work on her mate.
She could not really force him into it because as soon as he regain his powers he would try to run, it was simply in his nature. Tiamat would have to make him see that she was the only one for him and to do that she need to make him reliant on her, need her, seeker her above all else.
As the dragon king touched down at the entrance to her cave a thought entered her mind. She remembered when her mate took her wings before he healed her.
"Because I am a Titan I tore off your wings." Tiamat remembered her mate saying. "But because I am human I gave them back to you."
A smile appeared on the dragon's face.
"Because I am a dragon I had to beat you into submission." Tiamat said as her body began to shine. "but because I am human I nurtured you back to health."
My senses slowly came back to me. I felt sick, like someone washed my entire body with muddy water then filled it with smoke. There was also a lingering feeling that felt similar to when I just got off the battlefield after a few days without a shower. It was probably an after effect of Mhyrixis' body joy ride, if I had to guess she must have used the powers of the Darkness to fight off the women.
Or massacred.
Around me were the bodies of the three creatures. Two of them were torn into two pieces and the last one had its arm in her throat and her head on backwards. I wasn't really shocked by the way they were killed. After seeing fallen massacre entire villages of humans I would admit that I came up with some… questionable ways of finishing off my enemies.
One of them was forcing their arms back into their bodies before I pulled their head off. Did I over do it? maybe. Do I regret doing any of it… not really. If I could do it again I would, I wasn't one to let shit like that go unpunished.
The pain I felt before was also gone Mhyrixis must have healed my body while she was in control. But while it did get me out of a bad situation I was not planning to let her take over my body again. Yes she was going to pout about it but I was not about to let that much darkness into my body without something to push back against it.
I started to walk back the way I was going before I was pulled back to the three creatures. My body was still stiff but I was moving much faster than I used to be. I need not encounter any other creatures after that. However that wasn't the only thing that happened once I got back. Once I got close to where my tree was out I smelt a familiar smell.
I quickened my pace to my tree only to stop in shock once I got close I felt my legs give out. The area around my tree was burned and the tree where I slept the first night in was but a charred shadow of itself. Sure I had yet to really bond to the sight but it was still the place where I started and the brought value to a guardian that lost it all.
I stood back up and slowly walked into the sight were the fire took place. I was no firefighter but I had some understanding of fire to know that it did not target specific areas. The fire only destroyed my tree and the area around it, nothing else was harmed, meaning that this fire was intended to only hit my base and my base alone.
I tried to find some evidence of the fire's starting point but the only thing I could find was along the edges of the area burned. My only guess was that those fire lizards wanted some revenge for beating on their friend like I did.
A snapping of a twig brought me to full alert. I spun around to face the direction of the sound to see an outline of a person coming into view. A few moments later a human looking woman stepped out of the forest line.
To say she was gorgeous did not do her justice. She had a perfectly carved body and a face that could make me melt just from staring at her for so long. The blue hair was a little off putting but the color was lost on me from just how it flowed down her body like a gentle river. Her eyes were a sky blue that I could easily get lost in.
Her breasts were also good sized, not so big that they looked unnatural but not small enough to go unnoticed in the slightest. Her walk also had a slight sway to it which drew attention to her rear. Damn I need a girlfriend and NOT a harem.
"Are you human?" She asked once our eyes made connect with one another. Traveler her voice was strong like a titan but soft at the same time.
"Yea I am." I said once I noticed I was staring. "I got dumped here yesterday."
Suddenly I found myself in the mystery girl's embrace. She was a head shorter than me and her hair smelt like a freshly baked pizza, don't ask me how she did this to her hair but hey I wasn't complaining. I also noticed she had an iron hug I felt my bones cracking as her hug got tighter.
"You got one hell of a hug there." I said after a few moments of the titan class hug.
She must have realized that she was hugging me tightly because she let go and backed off slightly but she still kept her arms on me.
"Sorry I just haven't come across another human in a long time." The lady said smiling .
"How long we talking?" I asked a tad bit surprised.
"What's today?"
"I have no idea." Because normally Sid was the one to keep track of that.
"Well from what I remember I have been stuck in this world for ten years." She said after thinking about it for a moment.
"Ten years?!" I yelled out surprised. "How old are you now?"
She pouted at me. "That's not a nice thing to ask a girl when you first meet her."
'It's not like we're on a date.' I thought to myself while looking at her with the "really" face.
"Well if we're going like that then I should ask for your name." I said trying to be polite.
"It's polite to introduce yourself first." She returned smugly.
I could almost feel my veins popping out in anger. 'Alright princess have it your way.'
"My name Jonathan Der Riese."
She smiled. "My name is Samantha."
I raised my eyebrow. "No last name?"
"I haven't had a need for it so i forgot it long ago." Samantha said carelessly.
Samantha then grabbed my arm and started to pull me along.
"Where are we going?" I said surprised that she was strong enough to pull me with no problem.
"We can't stay out here in the open, so we are going back to my home."
I should have questioned her further but at the moment all I could think about was getting to a safe place away from all these creatures. After all what could possibly go wrong? I mean it's not like it can get any worse.
...
...
I am now getting a feeling that I am boned beyond all rationality.
"So Tiamat has Jonathan, this will complicate things." Kaleigh said while standing at the dinner table with Slender Man, Lucas, and Linda.
Plasma was curtly lying on the couch with a lot of duct tape attached to him in various places. EXOs did have self repair functions but like humans it was relatively slow and could take a weeks before he was back to functioning condition again.
"Yes and she is willing to do anything to keep him to herself. At this point we will need more than just myself to beat her." Slender Man said while taking a sip of his tea.
"Could we get support from the angels?" Lucas ask their own angel.
Kaleigh shook her head. "I would not count on it. As of now I don't think they would send one strong enough just to fight save one person. In fact the Seraphim might see it as an opportunity to bring Tiamat to our side."
"How repulsively bureaucratic." Locus sighed while he shook his head.
"I know some "people" who I can beat into helping me." Slender Man added.
"Don't you mean persuade." Kaleigh asked a little confused.
"I know what I said."
"There has to be something we can do." Linda insisted.
"Well if you can get our Light back then by all means please do so oh great hunter!" Lucas hissed getting tired of all of Linda's complaining.
Linda was taken aback by Lucas' outburst as he really talked to her like he just did. Seeing that Lucas hurt the young hunter Kaleigh went to her side to comfort her. It did not take Lucas long to realize his mistake.
"I'm sorry Linda, it's just… losing my Light and our leader has got me worked up. I am sorry for yelling at you." The team warlock said looking down.
Linda gently pushed Kaleigh away from her before making her way over to Lucas and giving him a hug.
"Apology accepted my friend." Linda said with a faint smile on her face.
"While that's all well and dandy we have things to do." Slender man said pushing away from the table. "I will acquire the help of those "people" I know, Kaleigh you need to try and get the support of the angels, Linda and Lucas you need to find a way to reactivate your powers."
A spark came from the couch.
"And find a way to fix Plasma while you're at it."
"The knowledge pertaining to the EXO's was lost during the Collapse only Plasma's Ghost can fix him, and he is not working right now." Lucas said crossing his arms.
"Then you best start to find a way to fix him, we will need all the help we can get to fight Tiamat." The Faceless man then disappeared from sight.
"Easier said than done." Lucas remarked quietly.
"What if I supplied the light you need?" Kaleigh asked suddenly.
Both guardians looked at the angel with a bewildered face.
"What do you mean?" Linda asked before Lucas could.
"You said your Traveler is the source of your power, it gives you light." Kaleigh stated to which the guardians nodded. "My own powers are light based. If I were to send my light magic into you then maybe you could get your powers back."
"A good hypotheses but there is one problem with your logic." Lucas said arms crossed. "We need a consent source to maintain our powers the best you will do is give us our power for a few seconds before it fades again."
Kaleigh looked down clearly put off that she could do nothing to help her friends.
"But that gives me an idea." Lucas said summoning his ghost to his hand. He then held it out to Kaleigh. "Try to send your light into my ghost. If we can reactive him then that will increase our chances of survival."
Kaleigh took Lucas' ghost in her hand then placed her other hand over it. The angel closed her eyes and started to focus her magic into the small robot. Light shined from the openings in her hand causing the two guardians to shield their eyes from the bright light. After about thirty seconds the light started to die down.
Kaleigh removed her hand from the "dead" ghost and waited for something to happen. Suddenly the ghost started to twitch and its eye started to flicker. In a flash of motion the ghost shot into the air it was then the ghost's eye turn on fully.
The ghost looked around for a moment before speaking. "What happened?"
"Something has happened to the Traveler and our light has left our bodies." Lucas said walking up to his ghost. "Kaleigh here used her light magic to reactive you."
The ghost was quite for a moment. "Yes, it is coming back to me. The sudden lost of our light sent me into a "rebooting state"."
"So my ghost should turn back on soon?" Linda said hopefully.
"I think, but I am not sure." Lucas' ghost said before looking out the window. "Are we expecting people?"
"No." Kaleigh answered walking up to the window in front of the house only to have her eyes go wide by that she saw.
"TAKE COVER!" The angel yelled running to Plasma before letting her wings extend over him.
Instincts took over as Linda tackled Lucas, the two landing behind the kitchen counter. Arrows started to come through the house landing all over the floor. The volley let up a few moments later but the house was filled with arrows and the ground was filled with the parts of broken vases and other household objects. The ground was littered with arrows most of which were sticking up.
Linda and Lucas both came up from behind the counter. Both of them untouched from the volley of arrows. The two made their way over to Kaleigh only to stop and look on in shock of what they saw. Kaleigh had over thirty arrows sticking out of her body and wings.
The two guardians move over to her and tried to help the injured angel to her feet, while doing their best to avoid pressing the arrows deeper into her body. Once she was up Linda got under her arm to keeper her up. Kaleigh's wings slowly faded from sight causing the arrows in her wings to fall to the ground.
"We need to move!" Lucas ordered picking up Plasma and throwing him over his shoulder.
Lucas took the lead and Linda followed behind him. Another volley of arrows hit the house causing the two guardians to move fast but even then they were still stuck by a few arrows. One caught Linda in her thigh while Locus got two in his back. However the arrows in Locus' back were soon pushed out of his body as if they were never there.
When the group made it to the back door Lucas kicked down the door and started forward. Now being in the middle yard the group started for exit that led to the forest. The sound of the front door being broken down registered in Linda's ears causing her to tell Lucas that their attackers were in the house.
Lucas picked up the pace and Linda started to move faster causing Kaleigh to grunt in pain as the arrows in her body moved. The group soon made it to the gate that led to the back woods however this door had a metal lock on it. It did not take long to get through it as Lucas shot the lock with his sidearm.
The sound drew the attention of their attackers and they soon found more arrows coming at them. Despite her wounds Kaleigh lifted her hand and created a magical shield to block the arrows. Kaleigh's arm soon fell however and the shield dropped as her arm went limp again.
Lucas opened the gate before turning at shooting his side arm in the same duration in which the arrows came. Once Linda and Kaleigh passed them he turned and followed them out. The distance between the house and the tree line was short and the group soon made it to the woods. However their pursuers were still on their tail.
"Can your ghost get one of our ships to pick us up?" Linda called as they moved through the forest.
"Yes I can." Lucas' ghost replied before going silent.
Suddenly a girl no older than ten jumped out in front of them and shot an arrow into Lucas' leg causing the Awoken to fall to one knee. Before Lucas could return fire the girl ran back into the bushes. She was soon followed by another girl looking eight who shot an arrow in Linda's leg however the shot only grazed the young hunter.
Linda drew her hand cannon and fired at the girl who shot her only to miss as she dived back into the greenery. Soon another jumped out from behind them while she passed them overhead she shot Linda in her foot the arrow going through her foot and lodging itself into the ground.
Now Linda was stuck.
It was at this time that the group found themselves surround by a bunch of young girls in silver clothing. They all had arrows nocked and pointing at them. One of the girls approached them the leader from the way she was walking to them.
"I'm only going to ask this once." The silver eyed girl said. "Where is your base of operations."
Lucas glared at her. "I don't know that you're talking about."
The girl slapped the awoken across his face causing him drop Plasma.
"You are not human and the maiden carries the angel who recovered your comrade's body. Tell me where your main base is or you will join your comrade in the underworld." The girl threatened.
'Our starship has just left the hanger and is within transmat range.' Lucas' ghost reported.
The warlock smiled before he looked up at the girl. "You have won this round but our leader will return."
Lucas then drew his side arm and shot the girl point blank in her torso. The Guardians and Kaleigh were transmitted on to the rising starship before it shot off into the sky, leaving a shocked goddess and her hunters behind.
"And I am finished, now let's put the pitchforks away ok readers"
