The Terror of Death
(A/N: The long awaited chapter has arrived, hope you enjoy it.)
Chapter 4
The Azure Knights 2
Haseo, Signum, and Vita headed for the city to intercept the knights. The moment the three entered the city, an energy barrier surrounded them and trapped them in the city. The three got ready and started looking around.
"They were expecting us." Signum said.
"You got that right, stay ready, they can pop out of nowhere." Haseo said.
"Roger. Agito, Rein, can try to detect an energy signal coming from them?" Signum asked.
"I don't know if we can but we'll try." Rein said. The group held their position waiting, Haseo suddenly heard a bell noise that he's heard before.
"Get ready, here they come." Haseo said. The group got ready. An Azure fireball suddenly appeared between the group, Haseo quickly turned around.
"Crap, look out!" He shouted. The fireball detonated and sent the group flying. Everyone stopped themselves in midair, Kite appeared from the flames, his evil green eyes glaring at Haseo. Haseo pulled out his gunblades and aimed them at Kite, Kite drew his blades out.
"So, is this the guy?" Signum asked getting ready.
"Yeah, that's him, he's the bastard who killed Fate." Vita said also getting ready.
"I see, he'll be a worthy opponent that's for sure." Signum said.
Bal&, Or&, At#&k. Kite said in broken words. Haseo saw Balmung and Orca come out of nowhere and charge for the girls.
"Look out!" He shouted. Signum quickly turned around and parried Balmung's attack, she pushed off him and got ready.
"Agito, get ready!" Signum ordered.
"Gotcha."
"RRRAAA!" Vita had parried Orca's attack and pushed him off.
"Let's do this for Fate Rein!" Vita said.
"Right."
"RRRRAAAA!" Kite charged for Haseo, he quickly parried his attack and kicked off him unloading several rounds on him, Kite deflected the bullets and disappeared, Haseo quickly reloaded and turned around to parry Kite's sneak attack, Kite kicked off Haseo and shot back at him, Haseo started unloading more rounds at him, Kite then started moving in a zig zag formation making it impossible for Haseo to aim. He quickly put his gunblades away and pulled out his twin blades and quickly blocked another attack, Kite followed up with a meciless onslaught of attacks keeping Haseo on the defensive. Haseo saw energy charge on Kite, his eyes went wide.
"That's not good!" He said.
"RRRRRAAAAAA!!" Kite knocked his twin blades away, kicked Haseo higher in the air, followed up after him and unleashed another onslaught of attacks and smashed Haseo down to the ground. An explosion of smoke came up from the road, Kite floated there scanning the area Haseo hit, he found no target.
"Uhh?" Haseo suddenly appeared behind him with his broadsword out and swung it at him "AAAAHHH". Kite quickly parried and was sent flying from the attack. He quickly recovered his balance and started sensing energy come from Haseo who suddenly rocketed torwards him.
"ARMOUR BREAKER!!" Haseo shouted. He swung his sword and sliced right through Kite's left side, he swung sword again through his right side, brought it back and swung it on top of him bringing him to the ground. A massive explosion came from the impact. Kite quickly jumped from the smoke of the explosion, electricity emitting off him from damage.
"Double Trigger, Judgment!" Haseo shouted from the smoke. Two charged shots came from the smoke, they hit Kite directly in the chest, then a twin charged shot came next and sent Kite flying, he crashed into a building wall.
"Huff..huff..huff..huff." Haseo reloaded again and waited. Kite's eyes suddenly glowed through the smoke, he floated out completely unharmed. Haseo was shocked.
"Damn it, it's like from before he's not taking damage, this is going to be a problem." Haseo said getting ready again.
Sword sparks lit up the sky as Signum and Balmung clashed weapons. Their weapons locked, they glared at each other as they pushed eacthothers weapons, they jumped back from eachother.
"Levantine!" Signum ordered. (Explosion.) Levantine loaded a cartridge and burst into flames.
"Extreme blaze, burning sword!" The flame got bigger.
"Shiden Issen!" Signum charged for Balmung, he grunted and brought his sword up, it too burst into blue flames and charged for Signum, the moment their weapons clashed a massive explosion came from them, they both got their balance back and proceeded back at each other, they followed up with a flurrie of attacks at each other, sparks and steam started coming from their blades as they their sword strokes got faster and faster, their weapons locked again, delayed slashes suddenly appeared all around them slicing up the very air around them for a split second before returning to normal, they pushed their weapons harder against each other, the blades started heating up and steaming, they finally pushed off each other.
"Huff..huff..huff..huff" They stopped for a brief second to catch their breath.
"You still with me Agito?" Signum asked.
"Yeah, I'm still with ya, damn this guys tough, I didn't expect him to be this good." Agito said.
"Well did you expect from someone who defeated six of our aces?"
"Yeah, good point, get ready here he comes." Agito said.
Balmung was coming alright, his wings suddenly opened up, his feathers broke off and pointed at Signum, he ordered them after her, the feathers shot after her.
"Hmph." Signum pulled Levantine back and got ready, energy started charging from the feather tips.
"What, a concentrated energy blast?" She quickly flew upwards and evaded several energy blast coming at her, the feathers broke formation flying off in different directions surrounding Signum, they all started firing energy blast from every direction of Signum, she quickly deflected the blast, more kept coming after her and she kept deflecting them the best she could, one blast barely skimmed her barrier jacket, she continued deflecting the energy blast till Balmung came up behind her and swung his sword at her, she brought her sheath up and blocked his attack, he pushed his sword down harder on her, the feathers suddenly surrounded Signum and pointed directly at her, her eyes looked around nervously knowing she was now stuck, the feathers shot at her as Balmung kicked off her to get his distance, Signum was unable to get balance back in time to evade, the feathers came in for the kill. Blood daggers suddenly appeared around Signum and shot at the feathers, the daggers deflected them off target, Signum quickly flew up higher in the air as the feathers regained their balance, redirected and shot back at her. Signum opened up her left hand and fire energy started charging in her palm.
"Dragon's flametongue!" Signum said.
"Heat Wave!!" Agito shouted. Signum shot concentrated heat energy at the feathers and disintegrating them, Balmung again appeared behind her for another attack, she quickly parried his attack and pushed him away.
"Huff..huff..huff..huff..huff..huff..huff..huff." Signum quickly caught her breath.
"Damn it..huff..that was a bitch!" Agito said.
"I agree, this guy is good to pull an excellent strategy like that, if it weren't for you I'd be dead right now." Signum said.
"Yeah, your welcome, come on Signum we can still win this!" Agito said.
"Your right, lets give it everything we've got." Signum said as she got ready. Balmung's wings came back and got ready too and the two sword fighters charged at each other again.
"RRRRAAAA!!" Vita screamed as she swung Gigant Eisen at Orca who blocked and counter attacked, Vita quickly put up a small tri shield and pushed off him. (Komete Fligen.) A giant silver ball appeared in front of Vita, she smashed it straight at him, Orca just grunted and sliced it in half, is eyes went wide from surprise as Vita came up ready to swing Eisen straight for his head, he managed to block the sudden attack and was pushed a few feet away, Eisen released pressure to keep its current form.
"Not so tough now are ya!" Vita taunted.
"Uh, Vita, try not taunting him, remember that last attack he used that almost killed us." Rein said.
"Yeah yeah." Vita said.
"Grrrrrrrrrr." Orca growled, his sword suddenly exploded into blue flames, he brought his sword back and shot a flaming shockwave at her, she quickly flew up higher to evade the azure shockwave, Orca suddenly appeared infront of her and swung his blade at her, she parried his attack with Eisen's neck and their weapons locked, Orca tried freeing his blade from Vita's weapon when suddenly Ice daggers appeared infront of Vita and fired at Orca, they hit him directly and sent him flying, Vita chased after him before he could regain his balance and smashed him downward with Eisen, she wasn't done yet. (Pferd.) Vita appeared behind him and smashed him back up, she quickly moved back up, he came up infront of her and she homerun smacked him across the city.
"ROARING SMASH!!" She brought Eisen up as it grew ten times its original size.
"Blade of Ice: Icicle Tip!" Rein shouted. The tip of Eisen froze over and grew a huge icicle tipped blade.
"GIGANTOO CRUUUUSSHHEEEERRR!!" She swung Eisen straight down on top of Orca directly with the tip of the icicle and smashed him straight into the ground, an explosion of dust practically covered the city. Vita pulled Eisen back, it cooled down a ton of magic pressure and reverted back to normal.
"Huff..huff..huff..huff..huff." Vita flew to where Orca had crashed, she floated above the smoke littered crater where he was laying.
"Did we get him?" Rein asked.
"Of course we did, no way he survived that." Vita said. But Vita had spoken to soon, because suddenly Orca burst from the smoke and punched Vita right in the stomach.
"GAAHH!" Blood shot from her mouth, Orca pulled back and did a spinning roundhouse kick to her head, she hit the ground hard, Orca took this time to start charging energy.
Vita forced herself back up, blood was dripping down her head, she clutched her stomach from pain.
"Oww, damn that hurt, you okay Rein?"
"Yeah, didn't see that one coming."
"You can say that again." Vita said standing back on her two feet.
"Huh!? Vita I sense an energy charge coming from him!" Rein freaked.
"What!?" Vita quickly turned around only to see a barrage of blue fireballs fall from the sky. She quickly pulled up Eisen. (Panzer Hindernis.) The fireballs hit the red barrier with maximum power, Vita could feel herself being pushed from the force of the attack and the pain in her stomach wasn't helping much either. The barrier suddenly started cracking.
"Damn it, can't hold it for much longer." Vita said struggling, the last fireball broke the barrier, she fell to one knee panting heavily, the attack left Vita in a smoke screen.
"Damn it..huff..that was ridiculous." Vita said.
"I'm sorry Vita, the attack came to fast for me to do anything." Rein said.
"It's not your fault Rein." Vita said. Orca suddenly appeared infront of Vita and punched her right in the face, hard, she flew from the smoke, Orca chased after her, he proceeded with a massive onslaught of punches on Vita, he smacked her in the air, his sword returned to his hands and exploded into blue fire, he followed up after her. Vita had been knocked unconscious from the attack, Orca made his way to her.
"Aah, Vita wake up!" Rein freaked, she saw Orca coming in too finish off Vita.
"No!" She broke unison with Vita, Orca came up and swung his sword down on Vita, Rein quickly pulled up a barrier to protect Vita, his sword hit the barrier with full force, Rein's body started straining from the pressure, her nose started bleeding and her barrier jacket started to rip up, the attack finally exploded on the barrier and the girls were sent flying and crashed on a building roof top.
"Rrrrrrrrr." Orca growled as he waited to see if his opponent was still alive.
Vita awoke and sat up, she clutched her head from pain, she could feel blood trickle down her forehead, she also noticed her hat had fallen off and she was out of unison./
"Aah, Rein!" She freaked, she saw Rein laying next to her unconscious.
"No, Rein!" Vita picked up her blood bathed body, her barrier jacket torn up almost completely, Vita looked at her body trembling, her pupils suddenly shrunk and she gritted her teeth in anger, she laided Rein down gently, she got back up on her feet, her hand tightened around Eisen, she looked up at Orca who was glaring back down at her.
"You…" Vita started to say as she brought Eisen behind her.
"BASTAAAAAAARD!!" (Zerstörung Form!)
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!" Screamed Vita as she charged for Orca who charged at her, Vita brought Eisen behind her and swung it at Orca who failed to noticed Eisen growing twenty times its original size, it was to late to notice, before Orca could react he was hit dead on by Eisen's drill which started drilling away at his body, the thruster on the back activated, Vita started spinning in a violent circle as the drill drilled away at Orca's body, his body started to break into particles, Vita then smashed Orca into the ground causing a massive explosion to echo across the city, Vita pulled Eisen back which broke from overuse of magic, Vita landed back on the rooftop next to Rein, she fell to her hands and knees panting heavily, the skin of her mechanical arm was sheding.
"Huff..huff..huff..huff..I-I got him Rein." She said picking her up. "I'm just going..huff..to rest..for a bit." She said taking a seating position. "Signum..other guy..hurry the hell up already..I'm already done." Vita said.
Kite and Balmung suddenly got text messages from Orca saying 'heal plz.'
They looked over where their ally had fallen, a giant dust cloud arose from where he was.
(I think the kid was mad.) Haseo thought. (Well one things for sure, I won't disappear if I die in this world, all I need is healing, if these people can heal that is.) Haseo shot back at Kite to make sure he's not given time to heal Orca.
Signum and Balmung continued exchanging blows to each others swords, Signum's ponytail had fallen out from the high speed fight.
"Damn, what the hells going over there with Vita and Rein?" Agito asked.
"I don't know, but by the look on this guys face, I'm guessing his friend has lost." Signum said.
"Wow, they actually care for each other, I'm surprised." Agito said.
"Hmph, get ready Agito." Signum said getting ready.
"You got it." Balmung's wings opened up again, Signum and Agito's eyes went wide.
"Not again!" They said, the feathers broke off and shot at Signum firing energy blast at her. (Panzer Geist.) A purple aura surrounded Signum and the energy blast bounced off her, she her sword back, Agito coated it in fire, Signum deflected the feathers coming at her, Balmung started heading to where Orca had fallen.
"Where's he going?" Signum asked.
"I don't know but look out!" Agito freaked. The feathers had redirected and shot back at Signum, she quickly flew upward, they passed through each other, they redirected back after her firing more shots, Signum put up a tri shield blocking the blast while escaping the deadly feathers.
(Hey, Signum, can you hear me!) Haseo said.
(Yeah, what do you need?) She asked dodging the feathers.
(You need to hurry and get after Balmung, he's going to try and heal Orca!) Haseo said.
(I'd be happy to, I'm just a little busy right now!" Signum said.
(Uh, hello, so am I, you're the closest one to him, so you don't have much of a choice here woman!) Haseo yelled at her.
"Damn it he's right, I gotta hurry." She quickly smacked the feathers away and chased after Balmung, the feathers quickly regained balance and maneuvered around Signum to intercept her, they came right infront of her coming straight at her, Signum kept moving straight at them.
"Uh, Signum!" Agito freaked, Signum was moving faster to squeeze through them, the feathers closed in together to make it harder for her to squeeze through.
"SIGNUM!" Agito freaked even more, Signum somehow (don't know how) managed to squeeze her way through the feathers, one feather though managed to slice her right shoulder.
"Gaah!" She clutched her shoulder still moving.
"ARE YOU FING CRAZY, YOU ALMOST GOT US KILLED!!" Agito yelled.
"Sorry, but I had to take the risk to keep up with this guy." Signum said.
"Whatever, just hurry up" Agito said.
"Right." Suddenly out of nowhere, a feather appeared right infront of Signum's face.
"Aaahh!" Signum just barely maneuvered around it, it just cut her cheek.
"Where did that-" Signum started to say.
"Signum look out!" Agito yelled. An energy blast just missed Signum's head.
"What the!?" Another energy blast hit Signum's right hand knocking Levantine out of her hand, the feathers appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Signum.
"Uh Signum, I don't think we can escape this one." Agito said.
"No Agito, we still have one attack left in our arsenal." Signum said as she brought up her left hand, Agito got what she was talking about.
"Your right, we do."
"Sword flame flash." Signum said. She pulled her hand behind her, a fire sword appeared in her hand.
"Karyu." Agito said
"ISSEN!!" They both shouted, Signum swung the sword out, the feathers moved in to finish her but the energy from the attack had disintegrated them.
Balmung finally made it to Orca and was about to use a healing item on him until he noticed a giant wave of fire coming at him dead on.
"Gaah!" He quickly pulled out his sword to block the attack, it immediately gave in to the attack and broke, Balmung was hit directly, the fire blade sliced through him and he exploded in midair.
"Got him!" Agito said smiling victoriously, Signum just sighed with relief, Levantine returned to her hands.
"Alright, let's go help Haseo and end this already." Signum said.
"Right!" They flew off to help Haseo.
Kite and Haseo locked weapons glaring at each other, Kite suddenly received a text from Balmung saying (sry, heal plz.) Haseo could tell from Kite's look that Balmung had been defeated.
"Hee, you guys ain't so tough now huh." Haseo said with a smirk, Kite just growled and kicked off him.
"Shiden Issen!" Signum came from above Kite and swung her sword at him, he quickly parried her attack and jumped away from her, he looked at Haseo and then back at Signum, his eyes glared with anger.
"Nice timing." Haseo said. Kite looked at Signum then back over at Haseo, he hissed angrily at them.
"Its over Kite, just give it up." Haseo said. Kite hissed again.
"Don't waste your breath Haseo, I don't think he's going to bother listening." Signum said pulling out her sheath. Levantine loaded a cartridge. (Zweii Schwert.) Levantine's sheath turned into a second blade, both blades then burst into flames from Agito.
"Were just going to have to beat him into submission till he decides to listen." Signum said getting ready.
"Don't over do it, I don't want him beaten to deletion." Haseo said.
"Got it." Signum shot at Kite, he disappeared and came up behind Signum for an attack, she quickly blocked, they started clashing their weapons, Haseo put his gun blades away and pulled out his twin blades and went to help Signum.
Kite and Signum's weapons both locked, she kicked off him to let Haseo come in and attack, while he distracted Kite, Signum circled around him and attacked, Kite pulled his right blade and held Haseo with his left, both were pushing against Kite.
Kite suddenly moved forward releasing his blades, Signum and Haseo lost balance falling forward, Kite then grabbed their wrist, spun them around and threw them both in different directions, his blades returned and he went after Haseo.
Haseo quickly regained his balance as Kite came up to make is attack on Haseo, he quickly parried, Kite proceeded with a merciless onslaught of attacks on Haseo, Haseo could barely keep up with Kite's onslaught of attacks, his HP bar flashed saying he was taking hits that got through.
(Damn it, 2345 HP left, I'm not going to last much longer!) Kite and Haseo suddenly locked attacks.
Signum had finally gotten her balance back, she saw Haseo struggling with Kite.
"Damn it, he still won't go down, what's it take to beat this guy!?" Agito said frustrated.
"Not much longer, Haseo has him right where I want him." Signum said. The second sword reverted to the sheath, she sheathed Levantine as it loaded a cartridge. (Schlagen Form.)
"Agito!" Signum ordered.
"I'm on it!" Agito said knowing what was coming next. Signum unsheathed the scorching serpent in a thick crimson flame.
"Hideru, Issen!" They both shouted.
Kite felt the sudden energy spike come from Signum's position, he saw a giant wave fire come straight at him, Haseo quickly kicked off the distracted Kite and kicked him toward the massive fireball as he evaded, the fireball engulfed Kite and detonated in midair.
Haseo floated next to Signum.
"Um, I thought I said NOT to over do it." Haseo said.
"Don't worry I held back." Signum said.
"Pfft..ok.' Haseo said rolling his eyes, Signum just ignored him. Kite fell from the smoke and hit the ground. Haseo and Signum chased after him, when they landed, all that was really there was smoke and a crater.
"Oops, I think I did over do it." Signum said rubbing the back of her head. Haseo put his hand on his forehead and shook his head.
"Sorry." Signum said.
"I knew I should've used Aura's words the moment he showed up." Haseo said annoyed.
Vita, suddenly flew down next to them holding Rein in her hands.
"Did you get him?" She asked stumbling a little as she landed.
"Vita, damn, are you two alright?" Signum asked.
"Yeah, a little, I checked Rein's vitals, she's going to be ok, but damn am I going to sore tomorrow." Vita said.
"Hee, can't blame you." Signum said petting Vita's head.
"Don't pet me." Vita pouted. Haseo suddenly picked up an anomaly, he looked over at the crater and saw Kite getting back up.
"Uh, girls." Haseo said, Signum, Agito and Vita were all shocked, the smoke lifted, Kite's body was glitching, fragments of his body were missing, he glared angrily toward the group.
"Wh-what the hell?" Vita said shocked.
"Ask Hayate later." Signum said getting ready. Haseo got ready as well, suddenly Balmung and Orca revived appeared next to him.
"What!? Impossible!" Signum said. Kite started lifting is his right hand and a red cannon materialized in his hand.
"Wh-what's that?" Vita asked.
"Oh crap, that's his Data Drain cannon, avoid that at all cost, one hit and your dead!" Haseo said. Everyone got ready.
"RRRRAAAA!!" Kite fired the cannon, everyone quickly dodged the cannon's spread attack, data particles went into the cannon and into Kite, his body renewed.
"Damn it, not good." Haseo said.
"Did he just heal himself?" Signum asked.
"Yeah, get ready." Haseo said. Kite suddenly pulled them into a different dimension, they all floated in an empty space.
"Waah, woah woah, what's going on!?" Vita freaked.
"I don't know!" Signum said. Haseo was confused how they could see the other dimension but was more concerned about what will happen if he engaes in an Avatar fight in the real world.
(I'm going to have no choice if this is what he's planning.) Haseo said to himself, and he was right, Balmung and Orca, turned in to fireballs and fused with Kite, an aura of fire surrounded Kite as his body began to transform into the Azure Flame God.
"What the hell is that!?" Signum freaked as Vita and Agito stood in aw struck.
"Don't worry about it now, get to a safe distance, the fights mine from here." Haseo said. The gong noise Signum heard before came from Haseo again and the markings started coming on him again.
"GO!" He yelled. The girls quickly got to a safe distance.
"Alright now, come on…come on…I'm right..here……SKEEEEIIIIIIIIIITTTHHH!!" Xth form Skeith appeared, the girls stood in complete shock to Haseo just summoned.
"….No way in hell does he come from a video game." Signum said.
