CHAPTER 7: Operation DS (Demon Slayer)
"Are we there yet?"
"Not yet, Kohaku, but we're close."
"Look! I can see them!" The young demon slayer screamed.
"Alright then, this will be our drop off point. Higher, Ortega."
The wolf demon flew higher and when it reached one point, Amar grabbed Kohaku and he jumped down. With a swift movement, he let the parachute open. Amar A-01 floated down the ground flawlessly.
The young brother to Sango jumped off Amar's back and he ran towards her.
"Nee-chan!"
"Kohaku?"
Amar then walked over casually towards the group and he smiled when he saw the reunion of both brother and sister. At that moment, he was slinging his new M4 Carbine with a grenade launcher, replacing his CRS-15.
"So you're back. What've you been doing all this while?" Inuyasha asked.
"Kohaku and I were having an adventure in collecting jewel shards. It came in profitable you know."
"How could you detect the shards, Amar-kun?"
"I must say I should thank Kikyo for that." He replied Kagome's question.
"Oh."
The wolf demon A-01 addressed as Ortega came down and transformed back into a normal wolf cub. That black wolf cub then perched on the elite personnel's left shoulder.
"Would you look at that? He likes you, Amar-kun."
"I don't mean to imply, but I'm a wolf-type person."
"No wonder you smelled like one."
"Who's there?"
"It's Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's father, Inu no Taisho. He's revived when Alucard came here."
"Nice meeting him. I thought that I would never see him again during the Demon Castle War."
--
"So, what do you had during your trainings with Amar-kun, Kohaku?"
"He had thought me several things, and while we're at it, we had found out Naraku's fortress. The best part is how he used his grenade launcher on Kagura and Kanna!"
Sango smiled. Ever since that elite army unit asked her help in training him to become a demon slayer, Amar A-01 had been a lot of help for the whole team. He had freed Kohaku from Naraku hands down and his assault weapons were the best compared to the others. Sango never seen Amar running out of ammunitions, as he carries a lot in his backpack.
He can take out a large-sized youkai with a single shot or two using the grenade launcher and take out Naraku's puppet with ease using a sniper rifle.
When she starts wondering, Sango also noticed that A-01 had the abilities to slow down time and invoking a sudden energy blast from his fist. Sango knew that he actually sacrificed his jewel shards, since they're some of the missing pieces left.
Still, Amar could run like Kouga does in terms of speed.
However, Sango had never saw A-01 using Item Crashes as his IC level was far too low.
"So, what did you found so far?"
"Nothing, the fortress we found was just another damn decoy."
While the two was busy talking to each other, Kohaku was staring at the sky blankly.
"Not good…"
"What? What is it, Kohaku?"
"It's Naraku's poisonous insects! They are all up there!"
"Not if I can help it. Amar, get your AWP ready. Chris, get yours."
"I don't have a sniper rifle." He retorted.
"Take the rifle in my backpack. That should be fine with you, right?"
"Got it."
As the insects started to fly down at them, Amar ordered his partners to open fire.
"Amar-kun! One of them had a jewel shard!"
"Which one?"
"Right there! The top one over there!" Kagome pointed.
"Right back at ya." A-01 stopped firing and took a vial out of his jacket. "Item Crush! Dancing Hydra!"
In an instant, A-01 threw the vial, and once it breaks away, the contents started to jump around in multiple successions, as if it was dancing, Chris and Amar also stopped firing.
"Dual Crush! Hydrant Star!"
As soon as the drizzle stopped, the bugs fell on to the ground, the one with the shard fell down too, but before Chris could slide dash to catch it, it fell into someone else's hands.
"Looks like I had found you."
"Chris! Back off! It's Naraku!"
Before the vampire hunter could say anything, Naraku started attacking him.
"Chris! Down for two seconds and then up plus attack!"
"What is that hanyou babbling about?" Sesshomaru wondered aloud.
"Got it!"
He ducked for a few seconds before Naraku could reach him. He made the uppercut, but Chris cancelled it on air, performing an elbow smash, knocking Naraku. He then back flipped away.
"Thanks for the good tip, Amar."
Naraku stood up and he cast his gaze to Chris.
"So you're the one whom the other youkais had been talking about. A vampire hunter called Chris Belmont."
"Hey, I'm not surprised that you're able to spell out my Romanian name, albeit that you had never reached there." Chris taunted.
"Such sharp words. No matter… I'll end your swagger once and for all, right here!"
"Bring it on!"
Naraku called out his poisonous insects that shot at Chris. The vampire hunter dodged hastily, performing flips and jumps to avoid the poisonous barbs. Eventually, the insects became stuck to the ground (a la badniks in Sonic the Hedgeog CD ending) and this allows Chris to attack.
Before that, he took out his Agunea item, locking the Vampire Killer at his waist sash.
"Agunea! Cross Shock Wave!" Chris called.
Naraku saw the thunderbolts leaving Chris, and he dodged every single one that came screaming at him. He did see Chris' smirk.
The Cross Shock Wave is a must-hit attack that'll never miss. I think he'll have half of his HP meter cut off when hit.
The vampire hunter's thought was dead on. All four of the Shock Waves hit Naraku, really punishing shot.
"Just one hit and you could damage me with so much power…"
"Correction, Naraku. That's four."
"I could see why you're becoming the center of attention now. You're perilous. But I will never stop in killing you by my hands. Until now, good bye."
Naraku fled, leaving the others except Amar Ma'aruf, A-01, Inu no Taisho and Alucard bewildered.
"Hey Chris! Teach me that Item Crash, will ya?"
"Some other time."
This human is exceptionally strong. I've once heard that someone called Trevor Belmont traveled to my domain, fighting demons with strong resilience… could he be the ancestor of this young boy?
