Beelzebub adventures chapter 7
"Watch out!'' Kanzaki warns.
Kanzaki takes out four demons that were about to hit Himekawa's blindside with a single strong Kick. The pair continued running through the tunnels until reaching an empty stock room. Sealing the door, Kanzaki and Himekawa took a few seconds to catch their breath.
The plan was running so smoothly they could barely believe their luck. The doormen had let them in without any apparent suspicion, Himekawa even cracking a few jokes with them. They were led to the smoking section, where they knew several important personalities of the city used to get high, right near the area where workers had their share of fun too. Once they arrived, a butler brought them what almost everyone who entered there looked for: Spectre Breath, inside multicolor pipes.
Right before the man was about to exit, he slipped down with a marble Beel (hidden inside Oga's clothing as a beer belly) threw to his feet and fell face first to the floor. Helping him to get up, Furuichi carefully gathered a drop of his blood without him noticing. Applying it on the shape-shifting rattle, Himekawa shifted into the butler while the rest of the gang shifted into some of the workers they had tortured before. Entering deeper into the mine facilities and sneaking among the workers, the gang finally located a vent entrance they could use and after 15 minutes, Beel signaled that they were almost over their friends.
Suddenly, the signal started to weaken; only to suddenly reappear multiplied by a thousandth, completely confusing the infant demon prince.
Being forced to focus his energies even more to track the authentic signals, the gang wasted 20 more minutes trying to localize them. Suddenly, an explosion destroyed the vent they were crawling in, making them fall to the hallway underneath. Before the smoke even dissipated, attacks started to fall from every angle. After a short trade of hits, Kanzaki ordered them to the ground and used an energy wave to clear the hallway.
"How did those fuckers detected us!?'' Himekawa wonders.
"It doesn't matter, we know where our mates are!'' Kanzaki exclaims.
Running to the end of a hall and turning left in the next corner, the gang finally reached a metal door. After Oga dispatched the two guards and destroyed the door with a single Zebul blast. Clearing through the debris, Natsume and Shiroyama, dressed in johnny gowns, lied in two metal beds, unconscious.
"I hate wake up calls guys, but you forced the issue.'' Oga said grinning.
"It's not like it's their faul…''
Two powerful electric bolts shot from Beel lighted the entire room and deafened everyone in the gang except for Oga. After a second attempt, Natsume and Shiroyama finally started to come to their senses. Kanzaki approached them.
"Hey, can you hear me?! It's me, come on! We're taking you out now.'' Kanzaki says.
Kanzaki takes Natsume in a fireman carry and Himekawa doing his part with Shiroyama. Furuichi, in the entrance, fought away a squad of a dozens of armed miners and thugs who had stormed the hallways.
"Take cover!'' Oga warns before shooting a powerful Zebul blast to the roof. Furuichi blocked the entrance with the heavy metal beds and parts of debris. Joining the rest of the gang, they jump up through the ceiling holes, taking impulse on every level. Finally, the starry night sky greeted them on the surface.
Slipping down and falling, Kanzaki soon stood up again. Natsume, at first on his all fours, was able to rise himself to his knees. Kanzaki tried to shove under his armpit in order to carry him on his shoulder, only to be grabbed by the throat and thrown in the air towards a pile of rocks. Before he could react, Himekawa was tackled by Shiroyama.
Natsume charged towards Oga, jabbing at his head. Oga weaved under the punch and sidestepped away Natsume's barrage of Punches.
"They did something to him! Don't hurt him!'' Kanzaki says standing up.
"Then you deal with him!'' Oga answered after powering Kanzaki's crest, knowing that the orange haired was much weaker than Natume.
"I don't need your charity. Let me fight Natsume with my own power." Kanzaki says.
Oga dispels Kanzaki's power up. "If you get beat up from your subordinate, I'll be laughing my ass off."
"Who said I'm going to get my ass kicked?" Kanzaki wonders, as he clash attacks with Natsume.
A few meters away, Shiroyama was sent flying to a wall and stunned, shocked by Himekawa's Stun Knuckles.
"They're still getting up. I doubt we will be able to restrain them! If we knock them out, they'll slow us down!'' Himekawa says, avoiding Shiroyama's attacks.
"If they got something into their heads, then there's no way unless…'' Furuichi thinks.
"What the hell, Baby Beel!'' Oga exclaims.
Beel's sudden outburst of joy and clapping shocked Oga and Furuichi, since he was completely ignoring the fight and just looking at woofers and loudspeakers placed on wooden posts used to make announcements to the mine personnel.
"He only does that shit when he hears the Gohan Kun's music, what the…'' Oga wonders.
"Music? What music? There's no…'' Furuichi cut his speech, realizing the implications of the idea. "He's looking at the woofers! It's ultra sound!''
"What the…'' Oga wonders.
"Just blast that one! I take this one!'' Furuichi ordered.
Oga blasted the woofers at the left side of the room and Furuichi destroyed the rest by throwing them pieces of debris.
Natsume, being held down by Kanzaki's grasp in a closed guard, stopped punching his friend and slowly came back to his senses. Shiroyama, who had just thrown one of the metal tables to Himekawa, fell to his knees.
"What… what happened?'' Natsume wonders, slowly returning to himself.
"Besides trying to tear my head off, nothing much, turd.'' Kanzaki says with a smile.
After a few seconds of horror, Natume's expression finally showed his classic smirk, and Kanzaki helps Natsume up.
"Where are we?'' Shiroyama wonders, slowly returning to himself.
"No time for this, we have to get away before the party gets too loud.'' Himekawa says while looking at fast moving lights approaching several hundred meters away, on the distance.
"They're not the only ones we need to take with us.'' Oga says before leaping inside the crater again.
"Oh shit, please get that genius here before he screws us!'' Kanzaki shouted.
"Start moving, we'll catch you later!'' Furuichi says, standing at the border of the crater. While the Pompadour and the orange haired thug ran away, Furuichi observed nervously at the lights on the distance, getting closer every second.
