Chapter 43: Human/Skeleton Hybrid.


-Flashback-

A young boy at the age of 8 scampered into a nice looking house that rest holding onto a bunch of flowers in his hands. The boy had nicely brushed very light blond hair that, light tan skin, and sapphire eyes. He wore a white long sleeve shirt, white pants, dark brown boots, and wore a hat that had a skeleton face on it. The boy would appear to be normal if it wasn't for that terrible gash on the right side of his arm that showed bones but the boy seemed to ignore it for all of his life.

The boy opened the door to the house and entered inside and was greeted with the aroma of wonderful food. He then looked in the kitchen to see a woman in her mid twenties cooking food. She had long white hair that went to her waist, creamy pale skin, and light grey eyes. The woman wore a white long sleeve shirt which showed her nice hourglass figure, grey cargo shorts which showed her legs and grey leggings and brown boots. The woman also wore a hat that had a face of a Skeleton and it was similar to the young boys.

The young boy trotted over to the woman and tugged on the woman shirt which made her turn to see the child. The boy then showed the woman the flowers and she smiled at him and gently took them.

"Are these for me?" The woman asked.

"Of course. You are my mommy after all." The boy said happily.

The woman only smiled after her sons compliment and gently caressed his face while placing a kiss on his forehead.

"Yes I am and you are my loving son who would grow up to be strong just like his father." The woman said.

"You really think I'm strong mommy?" The boy asked.

"Of course. I would never lie to my son. He has his father's strength, charms, intelligence, and swordsmen ship along with his mother's archery, smarts, politeness and her unique DNA inside you. You're going to be a very strong man and I'm going to be proud of you." The woman said proudly to him.

"Thank-you mommy." The boy said with a smile.

"Now go wash up. Lunch is almost ready." She told him with a smile.

-Present-


Ace stared at Kiiro with his eyes shining dark grey. His Skeleton hand began to crack as Ace flexed its fingers. Kiro stared at Ace with wide eyes seeing him transform but they turned calm and he let out a sinister smirk.

"Heh. Heheheh. Ahahahahah. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Kiro laughed.

Ace wasn't fazed by Kiro's laughter and neither was David. Both of them stared at the doppelganger who continued on laughing and when he stopped he gave them a serious face.

"You...My Grim Reaper…AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Oh what a riot you are Ace. You're just full of surprises aren't you?" Kiro said with glee.

Ace didn't reply and continued to stare at Kiro with those eyes of hatred. Kiro only smirked and summoned his sword in his left hand and began to twirl it.

"David." Ace called.

David looked up to see Ace still looking at Kiro without even making eye contact with his ally.

"Yeah?" David replied.

"Get ouu of my mind and help the others. I'll deal with this piece of garbage myself." Ace said.

"You sure about this Ace?" David asked.

Ace turned his head to make eye contact with David and smiled.

"Trust me. Besides…I need someone to protect my girlfriend while I handle things in here." Ace said.

In an instant Kiro was already upon Ace with his sword in a striking position. Kiro then swung it but Ace grabbed it with his skeleton hand while keeping his eyes on David. Kiro's eyes widen and he gritted his teeth when he saw Ace do this but his eyes widen even more when Ace struck him directly in the chest with his bladed bow.

"AAARRRRGGGHHHHH!" Kiro screamed.

Ace then kicked Kiro in the wound and sent the doppelganger flying towards the trees. He didn't collided as expected because of the sheer force that Ace used to kick him Kiro crashed through several trees as the distance between him and Ace widen with each tree that he crashed into. David stared in amazement and placed his gaze on Ace.

"Now would be a good time to go David. If Yuki dies I'm going to kick your ass." Ace said.

"Alright…jeez you don't need to be so cold about it." David said.

Davids body started to glow orange-like aura and then his entire body turned orange. After that he zipped towards the air leaving Ace alone on the beached grassy plain as he prepared his fight with Kiro.

"C'mon you bastard. That shouldn't have killed you so come on out so I can beat you to a living pulp!" Ace said.

As if on cue Kiro appeared a few feet in front of Ace as he just used a teleportation move. Kiro stared at Ace while his body healed the slash wound that Ace had given him.

"So…is this some kind of trick or did you really just kick me that far while also giving me a bad cut on my chest? Either way I am not laughing." Kiro asked calmly with a tick mark forming on his head.

"Do you think I give a dam whether you are laughing or not Kiro. Right now I am going to kill you. You have been nothing but heartaches, misery, agony, and a living hell to me and everyone else. Now…I'm going to get rid of you for good." Ace said as he pointed his bow at Kiro.

"Oh really!? And how are you supposed to do that to someone such as myself?" Kiro asked with a grin."

Kiro was then answered when a arrow pierced through his chest and created a hole. Kiro looked at the hole in disbelieve and looked up to see Ace holding his black bow towards him while his Skeleton hand seemed to be sizzling with grey mist.

"Like this." Ace said calmly.

"Explosive Arrow!" Ace shouted.

Kiro eyes were blank at the minute but something started to flash inside the whole in his chest. Kiro then looked down to see what was going on but he was created by an explosion which engulfed his entire body. Ace was emotionless as the explosion erupted and watched as the dust dimmed until there was nothing left of Kiro. Ace scoffed and turned around ready to walk away but a tail appeared out of the ground and tried to stab Ace's back but it was unsuccessful since Ace blocked it with his bow.

"You little bastard. That was quiet a clever move you did there." Kiiro said as he reappeared except he was reverted back to his Skeleton form.

Ace didn't answer but kept a firm grip on his bow since he was blocking Kiros tail.

"Ah what's the matter? Are you scared of the big bad Skeleton?" Kiro snickered.

"No." Ace said except it was from the front.

Kiro turned around to see Ace behind him and the Skeletons eyes widen in shock. He tried bringing his tail back but it didn't budge and this made the doppelganger turn to see his tail wrapped in bones so Kiro wouldn't move it.

"Why you looking over there. I'm right here stupid." Ace said to Kiro from behind.

Kiro was about to slash at Ace with his claws but Ace punched him dead in the face forcing his Skull to crack a little. Kiro then soared and by doing so snapped his tail off. Ace then summonded two arrows that were entirely made of dark aura and used his bow to aim.

"Shadow Arrows." Ace said.

Ace fired the arrows at Kiro and the Arrows separated making 30 arrows. The arrows then entered and exited Kiro's bone like flesh creating wounds. Kiro then growled in anger and began to charge at Ace but was stunned to see Ace spinning his bow.

"I won't let you get another chance to hit me!" Kiro said as he was inches near Ace but Ace only smiled and through his bow at Kiiro.

The bow the ripped right through Kiro's spine splitting him in half. Kiro eyes were wide and he soon collapsed on the ground with a thud as he was only two feet away from Ace. Kiro tried repairing his body with his lower half but Ace was already upon him and staring down at the wounded Skeleton.

"what the nether…What the nether…What the Nether…What The Nether…WHAT THE NETHER!" Kiro roared. "HOW THE NETHER DID YOU DO THIS TO ME! YOU ARE A WEAK HUMAN AND I AM A SKELETON MY POWER SHOULD BE HIGHER THEN YOURS SO HOW DID YOU DO THIS TO ME!" Kiro shrieked.

Ace raised his Skeleton hand and as if on cue his bow flew back to its masters grip.

"Because I am the son of Mira Skulleton and Alex Valley. My parents blood is inside me Kiro thus making me stronger than Skeleton or Human. Basically…I out class you." Ace said.

"LIER!" Kiro yelled.

He then slashed Ace in the right side of his face and smiled but his smile slowly faded when he saw no blood. Ace looked at Kiro with his let eye and slowly turned his head to reveal the Skeleton side of his face. Kiro actually felt chills run down his spine and watched as Ace raised his bow.

"Wither Blade." Ace said.

Ace's bow suddenly gained dark aura around itself and then it transformed into a Narrow black sword with a skull on the hilt.

"Wither Flames!" Ace said.

The Sword the started to glow and then grey flames erupted from the sword and began to engulf the blade in the fiery substance. Kiro was scared seeing this but the Skeleton let out a smirk.

"Heh…you think that killing me will be able to stop me on the outside? Your body is already mine Ace for it is already Midnight! Killing me would do nothing you pathetic fool. I HAVE ALREADY WON AND YOU HAVE LOST ACE!" Kiro laughed.

Kiro then laughed and laughed thinking that Ace's expression would change but it didn't which made him stop his laughter slowly.

"Who says that I need this body? This is your body. Right now this is my body in your mind. Plus…I know how to escape. Later Kiro." Ace said.

Ace then slashed At Kiro and the doppelganger shrieked and hissed as his body was engulfed by the Wither Flames. Ace then began to walk away from his body with his body glowing light grey.

"Now…lets go make myself and exit." Ace said.


-Outside-

David kicked Skull in the face forcing the Skeleton back but it seemed to not faze it since the Skeleton stuck out its tongue and hissed. Every since Skull absorbed some of Davids energy its mind became bestial like making it savage. Overall it looked as though it couldn't think.

"Damn…didn't think that you would act like this Skull." David said.

The only answer that David got was Skull shrieking at the top of his lungs. Skull was about to rush to David but it stopped. It then started to scream and fall on its knees while also realizing drool and bile from its mouth. Both Yuki and David would see this and wonder what's going on with skull but they were answered when Skulls leathery flesh on his back began too poke upwards. Skull would begin to scream and gag as it felt the pain seething on its back as the leathery flesh would continue to poke upwards until tears formed. After that the leathery flesh poke up once more and Skulls back ripped opened letting a figure jump out of his back and land on the grassy ground covered in light blue fluid.

"Is that…its that really…" Yuki said but couldn't finish the sentence.

"I think it is." David said with a grin.

The two would then look at the figure as he spun around getting the fluid off of himself revealing Ace who hasn't reverted to his regular form yet. Ace then breathed in the fresh air of Minecraftia and exhaled and made a light smile.

"Finally…I'm back." Ace said.
