Lan and Chaud are from Mega Man: Battle Network.
Jstr, glad to see you're back. Hope you like the updated version. I tried to make the battles better put together, but the battle next chapter is going to be the best, I hope. Yeah.
Warehouse
The first attack was swift and efficient. "Uranus World Shaking!" the blast hit Lan easily, sending him flying into the warehouse wall. As he slid to the ground, his friends all frowned worriedly, except for Chaud.
Lan got to his feet and got the wind kicked out of him. He was thrown across the room, trying to recover his breath.
"Aren't you worried?" Ash asked, seeing Eugene's calm.
Chaud chuckled through clamped teeth, his eyes closed. "You haven't seen him fight before. This is how it always goes. He likes to toy around with his opponents, at least the ones he don't think pose a real threat. Then, he'll get serious.. You'll see." he finished as Lan flew by.
"Say Uncle." Uranus commanded, her hand held tightly around the teen's neck. He chuckled.
"Don't you get it? I'm not going to lose this fight. You are."
"How about you shut up?" she growled, increasing the tightness of her grip.
"How… about… you… duck?"
"Wha…" the scout was thrown away from Lan as she was hit by a large rock. All could see a pair of claws holding onto it. They suddenly shot at Lan, who easily caught them and slipped them over his hands. He jumped to his feet, empowered. The claws shot up his arms, landing together on his left shoulder, turning into the koosh ball styled organism.
"That is what." the teen smirked. The koosh became claws again, which he thrust into the ground and yelled, "Earth, inhale!" the ground beneath Uranus opened up and swallowed her. "And now," he jumped into the air and finished his assault. "exhale!" the scout was thrown into the air, covered in small cuts from below. As she came towards him, Lan dug his claws deep into her back, leaving long gashes. When she began to fall, he kicked her towards her friends.
Uranus struggled back to her feet, only to collapse backwards.
"I don't believe it." Tracey spoke, dumbfounded. "In one move, Lan won the match." when the winner landed, his claws had disappeared and he was ready to rest. He walked to his friends.
"Is that enough proof that I'd win in a fight, Ash?"
"Oh, I don't think so, my brother. I will school you when the day comes." he looked to the battlefield before him. "I guess I'll step up to the plate now." Ash pulled out his sword, igniting it. Mars stepped up to him.
"I'm going to put out your fireworks once and for all, little boy."
Ash chuckled. "Look who thinks she's such a bad ass. Dream on, girly. The Netwarriors are going to take you out.
"3, 2, 1, Go!"
Ash was about to charge at Mars, when he felt a sharp pain throughout his body. It was the same pain he had felt when he had been hit by Gary's Bloody Bullets attack. He fell to his knees. "Shap. An aftershock."
Mars took her chance to attack. "Mars Fireballs, Flash!" the blast sent him back into a wall, leaning against it being the only thing that kept him from falling.
"What's wrong with him!" Sammy shouted, worried.
"Who knows." Chaud replied calmly. "It might be an after blast from his battle with Gary. Or, he could just be a total poser. Whatever the cause, he can't continue fighting in his condition."
"I can and I will." Ash came hobbling past his friends, "If I lose, we might lose it all." Ash knew he that he might die at this rate, but at least he wouldn't feel it. This was because his body had gone numb. He raised his arms, the sword long gone.
"Mars Firestorm, Flash!" Ash used this attack to his advantage. He jumped up and let the inferno hit his feet, sending him above the battlefield.
"Peace out, you frilly Mary Sue!" Ash began to plummet at his opponent. "Fiery Phoenix!" The boy's body was engulfed in flames.
"Mars Firebird, Strike!" but she was too late. The fiery attacks collided, sending each of them flying backwards. When the smoke cleared, they both stood on shaky feet, breathing heavily.
"You're not too shabby."
"You aren't too bad yourself."
"Thanks." With that, Ash fell back, unable to get back up. "Sorry, guys." Ash mumbled weakly.
Tracey stepped up and picked Ash up, taking him to the others. "Don't worry, I'll get them this time." he then returned to the battlefield. So did Mercury. "Let me guess. You want to get back at me for freezing you before?"
"I did that on the Moon. I just think it's important to collect data on you before we take you in."
"My thoughts exactly. Except, we'll be getting away."
"We'll see about that."
"Then let's go!"
"3, 2, 1, go!"
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" the room was then filled with mist.
"This isn't good for me." as soon as the words left his mouths, he was hit by water, ice, and bubbles. As he hit the ground, he coughed painfully. "This really isn't good."
On the sidelines, the three left standing speculated. Sammy said, "Doesn't sound good in there."
"Of course not." Chaud began. "From what Tracey said earlier, his Eddie Wall can only protect one side. Mercury knows that, so she put up this mist so he won't know where the attacks are coming from."
"You know, with all your smarts, I really pray that you can bring us a victory." Sammy said, eyes on his cold eyed sister. "Cause if I get to fight my sister, I don't know if I can do the same.
Lan, with Ash held on one side, commented, "Let's just hope he can find a way to win."
Tracey, meanwhile, was trying to think on his feet. He quietly spoke to himself. "What am I supposed to do? I can't put up an Eddie Wall, or she'll attack from another direction. And if I…"he was silenced by a splash of water. That's when he figured it out. "Ultimate Whirlwind!"
All of the water began to spin around. He was evaporating it. When it was over, they also saw that Mercury had been spun around as well, and was spinning on her heels.
"What's the matter? Lost your footing." Tracey shot towards the scout. "Cause I haven't!" he slammed his foot into her back, sending her to the same fate as Uranus.
"Alright, buddy!" Lan shouted happily as Tracey returned to his friends with a smile.
Jupiter immediately stepped forward to fight Chaud. "I'm taking you out, you premature gray hair
Chaud, however, just smiled, eyes staying closed and calm. He turned his back to her. "Our battle would be pointless. If I won, Sammy wouldn't get to fight who he wants, and if I lost, then the next round would happen anyway. So I forfeit."
"You can't just…"
"Enough!" it was Neo Queen Serenity. "I know who he wants to fight." as she stepped forward, she became Sailor Moon.
Sammy looked dimly to Chaud. "Did you not get the point of what I said earlier?"
"You need to do this."
Sammy sighed, stepping into the center of the warehouse. "You know, Sailor Moon, I need to say something. There was never a moment that I didn't love you. Never. Until you came into this place and treated me like some kind of criminal. And all I can say now, is that you are no longer the person I was ever related to." a dark smile appeared on his face. " And I'm glad about that, cause now, I can beat the life out of you. Let's go, sis."
