CHAPTER 11: At Doom's Gate
Since both Prometheus and Pandora had used the help of the newly revived Shichinintai, Zero and the others were forced to do a search for the gems. On odds, A-01 had one of seven of the gems.
Unknown to most people who had their biometal, Rin, had recently found one, a green gem, shaped like a diamond. Ever since she was holding that gem, her group – Sesshomaru, Jaken, Janis, Harpuia, Ah-Un and herself – were under constant attack from demons. This is also the cause why Janis never left her Model HA and this was getting to her.
"Do these demons know when to rest?" Janis said a little tired and frustrated. "I wonder where those gems were."
"Onee-sama, did you say a gem?" Rin asked.
"Yes, Rin." At this moment, Janis jolted a bit. "Wait, did you happen to meet one?"
Rin handed the gem while smiling. Harpuia and Janis gasped at the same time.
"Heavens, Rin! You just made our search a little easier!"
"Thank you, onee-sama."
The, from out of nowhere, a white fog started to fille the gassy path. Harpuia sensed something coming towards him and Rin. He quickly ordered Janis to grab Rin and fly up. Harpuia quickly slashed his twin V-Hanger to the oncoming attacker.
However instead of hitting it, he was hit by the back. Junging by the sound, he was a little lucky that it was a metal sword. The Shitenhou general combined his V-Hangers to make a twin headed halberd, just like Leviathan. He spun it over his head to clear up the fog.
"Hey, I don't know you were strong enough to stand my Kusanagi's blade." Someone said. "You're tough."
"Harpuia! You're alright?"
"I'm alright."
Sesshomaru, who was silent for some while kept himself quiet even though he knew whose voice it was: Jakotsu.
"Well, it's very smart of you to induce a fog and start attacking us from nowhere." Harpuia praised. "Jakotsu and Mukotsu."
"Thank you." Jakotsu said as the white fog cleared away from sight.
Sesshomaru unsheathed his Tokujin, giving a quiet warning for Harpuia to back away. The Wind General followed the silent order to back away. With not a moment to lose, the inu youkai unleashed Dragon Wave.
"Shoryuha!"
A wave of lightning ran through the sky and the ground below towards the tree where Jakotsu was. The lightning was split in half but the Shichinintai member was nowhere to be found. With her visor scanner, Janis quickly rushed towards Jakotsu's hiding place, V-Hangers ready for action.
"My, you're fast." Jakotsu said. "But you're not fast enough! Take this!"
With the swipe of his sword, Kusanagi elongated like a snake. Using her jump jets, Janis as Model HA tried her best to evade the chain-liked sword's blades. Harpuia on the other hand turned to help Sesshomaru in finding Mukotsu, but the inu you youkai declined.
"Stay here and guard Rin. I'll get that poison master myself."
"…Affirmative."
Back at Janis, she kept on evading the blades, she even reached the point that she can't even touch her V-Hanger at Jakotsu. It was seemingly (almost) impossible for her to attack at close range, so she resorted on using her newfound attacks instead.
"Well, if I can't get to him, then I'll do the rest my way."
"Janis! Use the plasma rifle!"
"Plasma – oh!"
Jakotsu smirked. "Whatever weapon you're using, you can't get to me."
"Yeah right."
Flying up in the air again, Model HA kept her V-Hangers and took out a rifle behind her. Without hesitating, Janis quickly held the trigger to spew hot plasma balls. But after a while, she stopped attacking to charge. When the muzzle turns green, Janis hovered herself above Jakotsu before releasing the charged plasma.
"Eat this!" She yelled.
There was a short pause for a second before a large and green energy ball tore through the air. The Shichinintai member's eye widened as it came for him. Jakotsu quickly dodged as the ball hit the ground but he was still injured by the attack.
"What was that?" Sesshomaru asked to himself when the blinding green light disappeared.
"That's, my friend, is my very own charge shot. Even Harpuia can't do this." Model HA said. "I think I should go and play more videogames later."
"I think that's a Thunder Strike shot." Harpuia thought. There are times that he used that kind of charge shot, so whatever Janis said was not really true.
Sesshomaru on the other hand had lost track of the poison master, and since there was nobody around, Sesshomaru took out his Biometal HA.
"Rock on." He whispered. In a flash of bright light, Sesshomaru transformed into Model HA.
While he was idle, Mukotsu had used this chance to attack by throwing .
"I got you now!"
"Not a chance."
Instinctively, Sesshomaru, grabbed his V-Hangers, one of it is short while the other's long. He slashed it thrice (short-long-short V-Hanger blade), shooting out a vacuum blade at Mukotsu.
He however missed his target, as the poison master had ducked just in time.
"Long time no see, Sesshomru. I still remembered that time when you killed me."
"You should stay that way."
"I couldn't say that I was on to getting revenge, but I had some other plans. I know that the one in the light green armour who're fighting Jakotsu… is a human, right?"
"…!"
"Sesshomaru! We got a problem down here! Janis and Jakotsu is nowhere to be found! I think he had led Model HA somewhere else!" Harpuia's voice suddenly echoes. "Sorry for giving orders, but you'd better get to her. I'll guard Rin from here."
"I'll be there soon."
"What's wrong now? Your human friend being taken away?" Mukotsu said as he chuckled.
Sesshomaru ignored the poison master as he walked away, before he dashed towards the place where Harpuia had guarded Rin.
Something is really bothering me here. What do they want with her anyway?
A/N: Wow, it had been a really loooong time that I hadn't update this fanfic. Not that I had to complain, of course. I had a lot of exams to follow, from Technology and Geometrical Drawing on 11th and 12th of August, Practical RAC (that's Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning to you.) Exam, SPM Trial, etc, etc. These exams, however, do come in really easy if you know what to do.
Okay, exams aside for a while, I hope you can keep on supporting me, be it here or exams (Maybe most of you are abroad.) and keep on reading and reviewing! TQ!
