Izuku manages to defeat the horrific monstrosity that was Chisaki Kai morphed to the Doom's Icon of Sin, after a long 3 hours battle. However also retrieve some clues about the real monster that was Anthrax, and who are trying to resuscitate him to the Human World. Izuku also are alarmed with the theory that the human quirks are related to Anthrax or their appearance was the result of an experiment like the Black Agent done by the Android Davis on Prometheus/Covenent movies of Alien franchise. This will be the last arc of this story, although I'm planing a few filler chapters before the final fight begins related to the Izuku's school activities they he really need it.
Izuku quickly notice that the radio communications went down for another time, in the precise moment when the chimera gigantic monster that was the cybernetic monstrosity called Chisaki Kai starts to recover from the Demolition spell and restarts to emit the demonic aura that are also capable to jam the radio communications, which was worsened by the mandatory heavy encryption required for military equipments. The main monster was also starting to recover from the inhuman impact delivered by the full discharge of SDF-666 super-weapon. This weapon that could rival the Unmakyr and the BFG-9000 in terms of raw power, now was overheated, and unlike the Doom Eternal magical technology that managed to return to work by refilling the ammo, the SDF-666 weapon requires some days to cool off and recharge properly.
"Die!… Dark Schneider!…", without taking a single split second to break, the General Marauders resumes their relentlessly attack against the exhausted young vampire. Izuku barely dodge or avoid direct damage of the red plasma swords swinged against him. The problem as not only the number of swords the enemy could handle (it could use one or two, and even change in a tiny fraction of second to a gigantic shield slightly bigger than the General Marauder itself). The remaining lower grade Marauders also swing their plasma based axes or fire their shotguns according to their usual strategies (firearms for short range, or energy weapons at larger range.)
Izuku start to thinking that he don't have major manpower to continue the fight until the promised reinforcements from Wild Geese arrived. He thought that the main foe still needs several minutes to recover, but he underestimated badly. In meantime by retreating and going back again to fight means that he loses an excellent situation that could blow the enemy apart. Since all magic and other supernatural powers are not viable until he rests properly, the only possible option to continue to fight, or at least an retreating fight, until help arrive are to catch more powerful weapons scattered around the whole chaos. The vampiric telekinesis power still manages to make it work, and uses to attract the ammunition scattered that was needed to fill the GshG-7.62 heavy machine gun.
"If Iori witness this once I manage to survive, I will play Brutal Doom will all mods an hundred times!", the greener vampire first irked when make such statement, later sighed with such stupidity. Meanwhile along this strategic retreat he tear down an entrance door to a convenient shop, only to find some zombies that Izuku grab their neck and twist off, killing it. Other two has ripped apart without much trouble.
The final zombie was killed by stabbing the overheated shotgun barrels, while cast the Aard sign to burn the rotten corpse.
Quickly he notice that was could be once the balcony and the cash dispensers that was torn apart or damaged, was replaced by some sand bags and an heavy machine gun abandoned ammo and a bizarre weapon at first sight. Once grabbed from the rubble, he notice that was a six rotary barrel combat shotgun with a passive cooling pipes, and a single trigger. The weapon had an automatic rail feeder that fills the six chambers, making the absurd shotgun to fire consecutively, instead to the old pump-action model Izuku had in possession. Izuku also pick the required ammo, and the heavy machine gun along the bullet belts. Once he tough that was safe, a rampaging Marauder storm the shop derelict with the axe plasma blast swinging. The violent impact breaks a stand that had another similar combat shotgun placed on the top, and falls almost straight to Izuku.
Weapon Analysis from Database completed!
Höllenhammer Z – A six rotary barrel combat shotgun designed by the Millennium Army, designed to operate on automatic fire, and cause great destruction, much due to the over-sized shell ammo.
Schlittenspeer-Maschinengewehr MG150 – An heavy machine gun developmented by the Millennium Army combining features of WW2 German machine guns, and the modern US heavy machine guns. This weapon nicknamed „Sledge Spear Machine Gun" had twelve rotary barrels, and a retractible blade similar to bayonets, which can be swapped to place a mortar grenade launcher. The retractible blade could be useful to stab unwanted enemies, as long you manage to carry on the one tonne weapon.
"That you for your wisdom…", Izuku annoys while dual wield the shotguns, and attaches the shotgun with a stripe along the armor belt.
Without thinking or wasting more seconds, Izuku hold the shotguns with one of each hand and start firing against the annoying Marauder. Three fast full rounds of shoots breaks the flesh and armor in pieces, making the enemy agonized and dazed, and then the vampire cast the Axii sign to break the will of fight, just in time to bulldozer him with the machine gun that manage to hot-swap and finishes him with a direct stab to their skull with a retractible bayonet that was attached to the machine gun.
"Just burn in hell…", and Izuku finishes with an Igni sign to burn the corpse.
Without surprise the on-board computer inside the DKL-01 armor decides to intervene, ignoring Izuku's wish to rip and tear that annoying feature:
Tactical Skill Acquainted: Quick Swap, also know as, Fast Switching.
As any Wild Geese mercenary needs to acknowledge, to enable fast switching requires to specialize one hand to make a thing, and another to prepare the next move. For example, cast any spell with your left hand while sideload a charged weapon with your right hand, then switch quickly to fire a weapon. This are a necessary trait to subdue quirked humans or supernatural beings. Mastering Quick Swapping needs to exchange in tandem two weapons, or a spell and weapon quickly, to fire or cast several times in a matter of few seconds. This will break your enemy defenses, making more prone to be subjugated or killed with a finishing move, or a third kind of weaponry.
"Either way, it is insane that I need a cunning superlative shotgun to kill a single Marauder bastard!…", Izuku was suddenly grab by a beast with thick arms which twist and thrown violently to ransacked locker room.
The vampire had a bad time to gain a migraine, specially when he faces a kind of cybernetic monster with 3 meters tall, holding a superheavy machine gun like Izuku just grab earlier.
The enemies armor appears at first sight, by Izuku's point of view, to be composed at least with three layers of metal alloy. The chest part was dominated by a styled black Hakenkreuz overlapped with a white shaped rhombus shield of arms which combines with a styled black eagle.
"Scheiss!", Izuku strafe quickly and panicked before the enemy start shooting at will.
The enemy's insane machine gun reduced all metallic lockers to a random amount of scrap metal in a couple of seconds. The vampire also snaps from their bewilderment when he was pushed against the ceilling, and then to the scrapped metal by a kind of telekinetic force, "He had a quirk too…"
Without much amusement the DKL-01 confirmed the identity of the enemy.
Enemy Analysis from Database completed!
Supersoldaten: A breed of genetic engineering superhumans, planed as backup to place genetic modified quirks on normal humans. It was a parallel project of lower priority that also conduct horrific human experimentation that created several strains of stormtroopers soldiers in order to alleviate the scarce Nazi vampire units.
Due to the lack of information or required higher ranked confidential information, it was believed without proof that experiments on cybernetics replaced the original quirked soldiers into a hybrid of organic and mechanical parts. Such advance was only possible due to the involvement from the cybernetic unit of Millennium Army lead by Chisaki Kai, that quickly overtakes the original research unit lead by a mystical magic practitioner only known by the nickname of Shigaraki, and their comrade of arms called Kurogiri.
Note: The Supersoldatens was also the foundations of the Combine special military units, where the cybernification of the original humans was greater.
"WTF?! Where you got such brilliant information ?!", Izuku was a little shocked with the computer database had some information about the damned two!
"Stoppen Sie genau hier, Sie barbarischer Vernichter!", a voice echoed when the part of the ceiling and wall behind the lockers was torn apart by a giant robot, but piloted by an elder (which appears to have some cybernetic implants) dressed like a Nazi official.
"Ich muss einen besonderen Magneten haben, der nur Nazibanditen anzieht!", Izuku just reply back in plain German.
"Für eine unwürdige Kreatur, eine Agentin des Todes und der Zerstörung, braucht es viel Mut, uns zu diffamieren!", then after a slight pause, "Wenn er nicht so gefährlich wäre, wäre er vielleicht wie die Überlebenden dieser Stadt, die ein ausgezeichnetes Versuchskaninchen abgeben würden.", and finally the elder pilot orders the giant Supersoldaten to attack Izuku, "Zerstöre dieses Hindernis!"
The heavy super machine gun from the Supersoldaten quickly unleashes a barrage of bullets, that was barely deflected by the Quen sign combined with the DKL-01 modded suit that activates the Maximum Armor. Izuku suffers severe damage, still manages to divert when try to straff, until the piloted robot's turret tears down the remains of the locker room, which makes the upper stages collapses over the panicked vampire.
However Izuku suffer an electrical discharge from nowhere (it was because the elder piloting robot had an electrical coil based weapon, that discharges against a near target), causing the DKL-01 suit to malfunction, are reboot at the worst time possible.
Izuku awakes briefly and notices that the building was collapsed, and once turn slowly their head he faces the Cyberdemons and Arachnotrons group that was approaching quickly. The building was torn apart due to heavy weaponry, reducing a viable shelter to a derelict.
"Those demons may had the sheer advantage in terms of absolute numbers…", Izuku mumbles, "However a single intelligent monster are too worst to overcome…", and the worst was the thirst for blood that was snapped out after this long and ongoing fight.
The vampire was still trying to recover from the shock when he was pulled off the rubble and punched against the torso (the armor reduced the impact).
"WTF are you ?!", Izuku faces a younger female, dressed with the Schutzstaffel-Obersturmbannführer uniform and insignia.
"This is the infamous untermensch Dark Schneider ?!", as she appears to active a kind of quirk that cancels or jams supernatural powers, as Izuku notice that the simplest magic spells are barred to activate, "Do you think that you are a kind of Hero ?!"
"I never expected to fight against Nazis during a Hero Summer Camp!"
"Neither I expected my former failed foster father…", as she points to the horrible machination that Chisaki Kai turn out, "To end like an experiment of Zauber Shigaraki… Damn those Ahnenerbe cult of freaks…"
"The Millennium Army loves rivalry infighting…", Izuku thoughts before asks, "Frauline... Damn it..."
"Don't make a fuss against the Schutzstaffel, specially me, Irene Engel Chisaki, also know as Eri!", as she still tries to grab Izuku from the neck, but the heavy armor avoids that, thought the vampire notice the activation of a kind of muscle strength activation to her. At first sight, Izuku thought that could be a quirk activation, a second one, but the green glow on muscle fibers and the appearance of metallic patches along the unexposed clothing gives that the super-strength of Eri are due to a kind of cybernetic implant.
"What an wonderful caustic name!", Izuku releases his right arms and tries to punch Eri, without great success.
"For our information, my quirk only cause malfunctions to another ones.", explain Eri, psychotically to the entrapped vampire, "Mein Doktor at first uses ancient Arian Magic Rituals to control my damned quirk. However, only when he implemented a quantum computer inside my brain that control a powerful artificial intelligence system, my quirk are now more manageable. Still later cybernetic implants to power up my body was necessary to achieve my superiority!"
"How advanced technologically are those Nazi freaks ?!", Izuku thoughts to himself.
"Mein Frauline Eri!", the older doctor inside the robot approaches her, "If you arrest this abomination, it can be possible to save your foster from..."
"Don't be so silly, Herr Doktor Totenkopf!", she throws away Izuku, "Chisaki Kai was too idiot to recognize that was a ploy made by those two Zaubers that managed to join the Schutzstaffel-Ahnenerbe, although arresting this vampire are fundamental to the Millennium Army thrive!"
Izuku would cold sweat due to the danger of been tortured or executed, ignoring that the computer inside DKL-01 suit are just rebooted and reset all the internal components to restore the combat status mode. Immediately the suit switch to Maximum Strength to overcome the Eri grip.
Meanwhile the DKL-01 computer decided to reveal some strictly confidential information due to some unknown directives been achieved.
Warning! Due to the unexpected contact with key enemies, some information about them that are strictly confidential, can be disclosed. The brief resume are the best available for now.
Kurogiri: An old nickname derived from their warp quirk, probably when he was an undercover criminal. (That nowadays they label them as villains) At an unknown time, he join later the Millennium Army at the same time of Shigaraki. When he was plenty integrated on the current organization, he quickly climb up the Nazi Ranks, and join the Ahnenerbe branch of the Schutzstaffel.
Shigaraki: An old friend of Kurogiri with an obscure past, which now are a pathological true Nazi believer, that also managed to join the Ahnenerbe branch of Schutzstaffel with Kurogiri and create a circle of close comrades that was the Twelve Wise Men of Europa.
He was also a monstrous malignant sorcerer, which managed to create an army of demons, later modified by black magic and cybernetic technology. His successes help him to secure their position as a powerful spearhead to many Millennium Army machinations.
Dr. Deathshead (Totenkopf): A top Nazi researcher that once hired Kurogiri and Shigaraki from their former criminal group to the Millennium Army. He lead several secret Nazi projects from weaponry to genetic engineering, including the research of quirks that he believes that was once an ancient Nazi weapon or wonder from early 20th century (before Hitler rise to power). Many of actual super-weapons that you witness today had a direct link with him. The duet asseverate Totenkopf as their Master or Doctor. He is also one of the major Montana Max closest friends, but do not become part of Shigaraki's Twelve Wise Men of Europa.
Irene Engen Chisaki (Eri): A younger girl that are a distant relative of Irene Engen, that once lived during the peak of Hitler's regime. She is a regular commander of the Schutzstaffel and it is believed that helped Totenkopf research using a proxy enterprise that plays the onimous Weyland-Yutani corporation from Alien franchise, in terms of human experiments and absolute disregard to anything that she thinks are dispensable. (The actual real name of that company was unknown or secret, although it was recently operating on Pyongyang.)
Note: The quirk origin from a mutagenic weapon lacks some evidence, but the Anthrax origin are one of the potential clue to solve this mystery. Still it is a little unbelievable that a kind of chemical similar to Agent A0-3959X.91-15 could create the quirks and spread as fast that was recorded.
This hypothesis would more assertive if Anthrax resembles the biomechanical features of the infamous XX121 Xenomorph creature from the Alien franchise.
"It's too much coincidence the suspicious link between the quirks, the Nazis, and probably the unknown creature called Anthrax…", as izuku tried to grin, "At least no quirked human died by a chestburster…", before he faces the Eri trying to hold him before the Millennium Army could evacuate them, and drag him as prisoner of war.
"Why you are obsessed with Anthrax, untermensch Dark Schneider ?!", Eri spokes with a psychotic laugh, while her face skin tears to reveal golden printed circuits, which confirms that she had more cybernetic enhancements implants that not match or enhanced her cancellation type quirk.
"I would make the same question… It is a kind of divinity that you freaks worship ?!"
"Mind your filth tongue, untermensch..."
When Izuku fells that he had accumulate dark magic energy to cast Demon Magic from Dark Schneider's Spells, he makes a smile before cast with the corresponding ritual contract chant, "Cyco, Cyco, known your worth!", which appears to overcome the anti-quirk and anti-magic field emanated by Eri own quirk, "I granted your wills into a Ember flash of Ash and Wound!", and then a mist of dark with red flashing releases from the Izuku casting domain, hitting Eri causing their flesh to burn, rot and disintegrate, "SUICIDAL TENDENCIES!"
"Verdammter Zauberer!", Eri agonize and leashes against Izuku, that manages to break free.
"Attention Dark Schneider! Take cover now!…", without warning the encrypted military communication system inside DKL-01 opens an audio channel and it was the gunman Silver Fang that gives the alert.
A second later, several magic bolts fall and exploded around the enemy group, followed my standard guided missiles. The impact of the explosions and the sudden chaos makes a good cover to Izuku flee, just for the Eri group been overwhelmed by the ammo firing. The cause of this sudden attack was the appearance of the Wild Geese massive combat helicopter called Argent D'Nurfilled with conventional and magic weaponry. The collapse of Chisaki Kai massive force filed dome permits to the Argent D'Nur makes a desperate sortie and start bombing the demons and bigger ones that Izuku was trying to fight alone. Meanwhile the Marauders, Cyberdemons and Arachnotrons arrived at the perimeter and start firing against all the targets.
"Beware the monstrosity!", Izuku alerts Silver Fang via the intercom, "It a matter of several seconds it could regenerate the bare minimum to bombard everything!"
"I will help you to prevent that!", the gunner fires 40 heavy yield missiles, and ten full charged elemental magical cannons against the remains of Chisaki Kai. The magical beams takes less than a second to hit the target, that scattered along the entire body. Five to ten seconds later, the missiles warheads penetrate the armor and rotten flesh of the chimeric monster, causing a chain reaction of devastating proportions.
When any common sense being thought that Chsisaki Kai was finally destroyed by good, the core that creates the malignant magic and force raises from the metal scrap debris, and creates another magic force field that menace again Izuku and their allies.
The core was again covered by flesh, metal and the remains of the Chisaki Kai body. Compared to the original chimeric monster, it was about a tenth of the original size, returning a normal human sized being.
Izuku turns his head to the site when was briefly captured by Eri and their entourage. The three Nazi beasts are now fighting against the Marauders and Cyberdemons.
"Shall we return to our fighting ?!", the two top General Marauders cut the mesmerizing sightseeing with their plasma swords.
Izuku answered by firing the Höllenhammer Z automatic shotguns within a quick cadence, one for each General Marauder. Both enemies reacted by pushing their plasma blades (which size varies by a factor of five) to slash Izuku.
He notice that one of them makes damage, it glows red and uses this aura sudden spike to spawn minor demons to aid them.
Izuku also notice that the two General Marauders created a magical barrier with a small radium (less than 50 meters) for which many regular demons or normal beings cannot penetrate. It was confined inside a domain trap, and he had very few ammo for all weapons.
The vampire had little vitality to cast magic spells, and he wanted to save the regeneration devices from the DKL-01 to save energy. With this choice, Izuku wait a little to one of the annoying specter summoned by the Marauder to attack him, and fire the shotgun.
Then Izuku notice that the General Marauders stand still up to half a second to refill the red aura, which use to make an explosive expansion capable to cause physical damage or to summon more specters and minor demons.
"Eat that!", Izuku catch the precise moment when the rightmost General Marauder try to recharge, and fire a barrage of shotgun shells. The enemy become dazed with the impact, and the vampire quick swapped to the MG-150 machine gun and unleash a torrent of bullets that take six seconds to finish the belt, just in time to the enemy recover and trying to counter-attack with this expandable sword.
Quickly Izuku exchange the belt and the cartridge slot for the machine gun and the shotgun, and this time he could make more damage to the other enemy as he was caught off-guard.
The combat spawns along 20 minutes or more, as Izuku realizes that if he been hit by the sword the General Marauder regenerates a little. Still deal about ten rounds of shelling when the vampire catches the correct timing to attack.
At the same time, Silver Fang was trying the divert the massive combat helicopter from the vicious attacks from every conceivable enemy on ground. He still was genuinely horrified when he drops cluster bombs against an horde of Marauders, their shields block every explosion, and simply step up to dodge the explosions. Also the gunner witness from the view-of-field cameras from the cockpit that the trio of Nazis fighting them was partly damaged with the successive waves of relentless attacks.
When that appears that Chisaki Kai was agonizing with a former shell of itself, a giant magic field explode straight to the sky like a pillar of red hue light. A second later, a chain of dozens of concentric circles forms made from black reddish mist, until a rain of fire and smoke falls from that magical domain. Flares similar to the worst solar protuberances and corona mass ejections also erupt from the ground from a certain distance measured of the chimeric cyborg.
The flare breaks the magic dome shield made by the General Marauders, although their body shield protect them from the worst damage. The DKL-01 suit armor suffers malfunction and real damage for this time. Izuku knew that the minor ranked Marauders and the surviving Cyberdemons and Arachnotorns (half of them was destroyed) can now attack him, and he was now terribly outgunned.
"WTF! Those Nazis was a rescuing drone ?!", for some oddly reason, Izuku reacts badly when he notice that the SS official, the giant mutant soldier and the piloting combat robot by a crazy scientist was pulled by a Millennium Army Combine Synth drone model, and flee from the chaos that they cause at first place!
This subtle rage outburst help him to grab a damaged Marauder, and throwing him against the nearest Cyberdemon that cause their particle cannon to outburst and explode. Then Izuku wasted the last ammo supplies from the shotgun and machine gun in possession to severely damage on of General Marauders and punch the damaged armor, causing a chain explosion that due to sheer luck ended to kill the second General Marauder that was only five meters apart.
Izuku managed to strafe and back-flip to escape from the explosion. However when the dust settles, the two swords held by the formidable foes was still shining with their plasma blades. The DKL-01 computer still managed to reboot and make a quick analysis of this findings:
Weapon Analysis Completed!
Hell Sword: This magic sword forged by the supernatural realm of Hell, had a reserve of demon lost souls that charge a plasma like blade capable to change according to the user wills.
Izuku throw away the damaged weapons (except the SDF-666) and pick both swords to test them. With a genuine surprise, a single slaying movement cut a Marauder or any annoying demon with a single movement! However, Izuku notice that each time the sword powers are used, their bright that was related to the energy stored inside the handle, reduced each time it kill an enemy.
"With another words, those swords are useful to destroy the main core of the horrible Chisaki Kai chimeric monster!", and Izuku alerts to Silver Fang, "Silver Fang! I grab those wonderful swords that are capable to defeat demons with a single swoop. However I fear that once the magic energy are depleted, those things will go burst… I need your firepower to clean the damned hostiles!"
"Roger! Be careful with this move… I was ordered to retrieve you and leave this inferno together, other members of Wild Geese join the US Raptor Team which are now evacuate your classmates to their VTOLS to an anchored Aircraft carrier…", Silver Fang said with a worried voice tone.
"This means all Pro-Heroes and all human Heroes in Training leaves this hell successfully…", said Izuku, as he runs and slashes another Marauder.
Izuku still had to run more 200 meters in straight line around the debris, and the annoying two remaining Cyberdemons and a damaged Arachnotron that was shielding the main target. Luckily for Izuku the left rocket launcher was still intact at the roof of a partially damaged house which had a dental clinic on floor and an habitation flat above. The vampire jump quickly to the top, and check that the rocket launcher still works after three hours of hellish fighting.
With a fast sequence of rocket launching, all 26 rockets dealt the annoyances, although he had the rely to the demonic magic swords to kill the Cyberdemons for good.
Finally, Izuku jump from a three stories high building and lock the swords in position. The vampire also tries to cast a good Dark Schneider's ancient spell to end this horror, "Ki!… Oboros!… Plataros!… Oh!… I summon the Ancient Dread King of Night's Pact!", which starts by casting from the right index nail a purple slime substance, "Come forth, My Demon King, flying on Bat Wings!", that resonance their vampire nature, including a spectral form of giant bat swings spawning his body, helping him to fly to the target, "May your Ancient Will seal this Cursed Pact!", and Izuku thrown the swords against the main core, just a second before he nail the infected nail against the organic parts of Chisaki Kai's body, "ACCUSED!"
The swords blades cut the remains of the chimeric monster like an cross shaped pattern, but the Accused spell activates causing an instant necrosis of the rotten flesh that Chisaki Kai had during the cyborgification process. All electronic and crystal matter also decays and shatters, leaving the damaged core to collapse at an alarming rate.
"Wah-ko!… I pledge the Sacred Mountain's Wind Spirit to become by Flight's Mage!…", Izuku casts the same earlier spell to fly away the danger, "CELESTIAL FLIGHT RAVEN!"
When Izuku waste the remaining little vitally to fly at high speeds, the collapsing core explodes, wiping everything around a radius of one to two kilometers. Silver Fang could not done more than scream when faces an extraordinary explosion, and questioning if Izuku Midoriya manages to escape from the massive explosion.
To Be Continued...
