Chapter 19: Frost of Current
Lancer started his attacks close range and Magician use whatever tricks of ice she has up her sleeves. She warped from one place to another. Lancer tries to pierce her and pierce an ice statue.
"You may have your little tricks Magician but your tricks will have to wither away," said Lancer. Omega got his O-saber ready for battle. Lancer came by and started to hit Omega. Omega counter his lance and start hitting him with several sword combos. Lancer took several hits and also moved back.
"Hey Lancer," said a voice as Lancer tries to find where the voice comes from. Next thing he knows his feet were frozen down to the ground.
"You forget Gwen Larish that I am an Ice type reploid so Ice tricks won't work against me," said Lancer as he used his feet to get freed from the frozen ice.
"Magician seal," said Magician as she uses one of her seals. Lancer pierced through the seal as he started to feel the backlash of an element hits him.
"I have more seals that has a nasty backlash if you are going to keep piercing them," said Magician.
"I forgot you are a witch. Well at least I can freeze you without you feeling any pain then," said Lancer. Omega be in a defending position just in case when Lancer shows up and decided to attack him. Lancer keeps on trying to find Magician but her tricks got the best out of him. He found Magician and charge through with his lance to pierce through her body. Instead he pierced through a seal and the seal started to glow and burned him. Lancer got up and looks at the pierced seal he did. He noticed that the weird markings floating and looks at it around.
"So her seals are visible if I find that weird mark. I can avoid them and get Magician. Well what do I want to pierce. Her head will be fine but that is too easy. Her stomach is a good opening. Well it does not matter. She is human and my lance can kill humans faster than it can kill a reploid," Lancer thought. He looks around and sure enough he finds Magician's weird symbols and went directly towards Magician and pierced her through the arms. Magician saw Lancer coming and tries to dodge but he got her arm and she fell. She knows it will be a matter of time she will pass out. He hits her in the main artery in her arm.
"Well that was fast you did not last very long," said Lancer as he was ready to final blow her. Omega steps in and blocks the lance off of Magician. Magician looks at Lancer whose face was not happy at all.
"You are an annoying reploid. I have to take care of you," said Lancer. Lancer tries to do Ice pierce on Omega. Omega saw it coming and moved out of the way and hits Lancer with his O-saber. Lancer got hit and move back. Lancer looks and saw the damage Omega gave him.
"This is going to be harder than I thought," thought Lancer. He use one trick that makes Ice blocks and tries to chuck it at Omega. It fails. Omega slashes vertically and fire comes out of the sword and melted the ice. Lancer got annoyed with Omega and tries to go after him. Omega was too swift and knock Lancer's lance out of his hands.
"I have more tricks than that," said Lancer as he hit Omega with a blast of ice going towards him. Omega did not expect that and got back right up. Lancer runs for his lance and went back attacking at Omega. Omega start shooting at Lancer. Lancer dodges the bullets that is coming towards him. Magician place her hand on her wound.
"I must use a temporarily seal to heal my arm. Hopefully it will stop the bleeding and hoping it won't kill my baby. Angel please child still be alive for me. I know you are not big but I can still lose you which I do not want," thought Magician. Lancer did some fancy foot moves and did his pierce through Omega. Omega took the hit and hit back with his saber.
"Aww.. Is the poor reploid getting hurt. I take it you are no stronger than Gwen here. But you have metal so that makes it harder to penetrate," said Lancer.
"You have not seen my full potential," said Omega as he uses his sword and start sending shockwaves at Lancer. Lancer did not dodge fast enough to move away from the shockwaves and got hit.
"Ok this looks harder than I thought. If he can do shockwaves which now a days it is hard to pull off. I may ended up losing," thought Lancer. Lancer tries again with another Ice block but follows it with pierce attack. Omega burns the block but did not have time to dodge the pierce and has the lance on his armor. Lancer saw how heavy the damage he did on Omega and smiles.
"I think Gwen won't last," said Lancer. Magician finish her seal and got up Lancer went to her and start charging. Magician had very little time to react. Omega got up and took the hit. He becomes more damage then before.
"Hehehe. You may get me but Gwen won't last. She will die from the blood loss. You are in no better shape," said Lancer. Omega grabbed his saber and shoved it into Lancer. Lancer saw a huge whole he has in the center where the saber is in. He looks at Omega and looks at Magician.
"Heheh. I have been sliced," said Lancer as he fell down. Omega fell down to the ground.
"Omega," said Magician as she saw the huge damage that Lancer did to Omega. Magician looks at Omega as she tries something to patch him up.
"I will be fine. Gwen. Are you hurt?" asked Omega. Magician looks at Omega with caring eyes.
"I am fine. I am more worried about you," said Magician. Omega looks at Magician.
"I will be fine. You go ahead and catch up," said Omega. Magician looks at him and shakes her head.
"I am not going with out you and I won't start now," said Magician. Magician started to find something to cover Omega up as she waits. Meanwhile...Saber comes around and start slicing at Athena. Athena blocks with her staff and tries to push out Saber. Sniper got a lock on Saber and fired a shot. Saber felt the bullet of the castor round that Sniper has and looks at the her. His arm was out and he looses artificial blood.
"Well military reploid maverick I have to handle you when I finished with the phony scientist," said Saber. Athena started to change her color to red as she is started to use fire. She made her staff as hot as it can be and made a fire ball coming out of the end. Saber dodges the fire ball and Sniper couldn't get a shot. She keeps looking at Saber trying to aim for his head.
"Shoot a moving target. He moves fast. I had a hard time when I aimed at Zero and several other reploids but who am I counting. I have to wait until he stands perfectly still. I might get him in few seconds," thought Sniper, "I am the best marksmanship there is. I just need to figure his movement and snipe him. This is going to be tricky. I have nicked Zero doing that but his moves is not always predictable. X is too hard. Once he finds where the shot is coming from I will see a plasma shot going in my direction. I better not lose concentration."
"This is rich you change your outfit," said Saber as he got his sword all intensify with electricity.
"Yeah so what," said Athena as she again fires a fireball. Saber dodges out of the way and hit his sword at Athena's midsection barely. Athena changes back to her original blue color.
"Castor shell rank S homing," said Sniper softly. She got a lock on and fire her shot. Saber got hit and looks back at Sniper.
"You know what I rather get rid of you first," said Saber. Saber as he started to attack Sniper. Sniper knows that close range she is going to get hit so she stealth mode and moves out of the way. Saber cannot see where is Sniper and got hit by an elemental whirlwind. Saber looks back at Athena who still has her staff in hand.
"I have more surprises. I hate to run away in a fight when I can still kick your butt still," said Athena. Saber start coming towards Athena and Athena waits. Saber has lunge a strike but was stopped by another sword. Athena has revealed within her staff a hidden blade. The sword was like a heat sword that Colonel uses.
"There is more than meets the eye," said Athena as Saber looks at Athena's sword. He was shocked but smiled.
"Then it will be an honor to destroy a swordswoman by my hands," said Saber as he moves back. Both Athena and Saber got into a fighting stance and Saber came in running and attacking Athena. Athena blocks the attack and Sniper looks on the fight.
"This is not getting me anywhere. Well at least he is not going to attack me for a while. I have to wait until I get a lock and a better position. Right now as I am he can find me," thought Sniper. Athena did some fancy foot work and did few spin slashes. Saber blocks them and Athena use this as a decoy and came down with a vertical slash. Saber parries it and retreat to a side.
"Well I guess I am not the only fancy swordsman here. Your death will make me happy when I manage to destroy the fake," said Saber. Athena collects her thoughts as she is ready to defend. Saber attacks and Athena blocks it. Sniper got her castor shell loaded again and waits.
"Well well, we both may be damage but you are more than me. I still can kill you here," said Saber. Sniper got her lock again and shot her stronger castor shell.
"Castor shell. Rank Alpha," said Sniper as her shot got to Saber and make a big huge hole in his armor. Saber looks at the direction where he saw the smoke and decided to take care of Sniper once and for all. Saber did a trick hit and Athena was going to parry and found out that Sniper is was getting hit. Sniper saw Saber coming and got hit by the electric blade. Sniper felt the electrical surges coming everywhere.
"That will teach you," said Saber as he felt something in his mid section. He looks down and find a sword there.
"This is for tricking me," said Athena as Saber looks at Athena. He did not smile but look in her eyes.
"You are a dirty little reploid," said Saber. Athena looks at Saber again and looks at Sniper.
"I did not play dirty. You wanted to not fight one on one so what do you expect. It is not my fault that you do not read fine lines," said Athena.
"Here is a present for both of you," said Saber as he exploded. Sniper and Athena got caught in the explosion and become heavily damage.
"Shoot, that punk blow himself up," said Athena and me without my equipment. I have to wait for someone to come.
"I will keep an eye out if I find anyone coming," said Sniper.
