Division of the Rotting Soul
(Onechanbara ZII Chaos-Bounty Hunters)
The team made it to Japan as Kagura looked around the pier with an annoyed look on her face.
"Can you believe we're back here, again?" Kagura asked Saaya who was behind her.
"Just promise me, Sis, that you won't pull any more stunts like that?" Saaya asked Kagura.
"What was it that Kagura did, Saaya?" Ace asked.
"She jumped off the plane and nearly killed herself because her parachute failed." Saaya explained.
"Yeah, in other words, no showboating!" Aya said walking past the three as Kagura made a face behind her back and stuck out her tongue while waving her fingers.
"Can't let these undead freaks act like they own the place." Saki said crossing her arms.
"Then let's get started and tear these bastards apart!" Fefnir said pumping his fist out.
The group started their trek across the pier when a barrier block their path as several undead spirits popped out.
"I can swab the pier with these losers by myself you know. Ain't a goddamn all of us gotta be here." Kagura said confidently as she slashed at a few undead with her trick daggers.
"Is she always this foulmouthed Saaya?" Ace whispered to Saaya as he slammed a few undead with Gaia's Wrath.
"You have no idea Ace." Saaya replied as she mowed through a few undead with her chainsaw. "Also that's the kind of talk that can get you in trouble sis." She said to Kagura as she swung her mace at a few more undead.
"Work's for me. Ever since Kagura drank my blood. I haven't been quite myself. So what do you say we all leave the undead hunting up to her and go have us some fun in Chinatown?" Aya said as she sliced through some undead with her twin katanas.
"That's a great idea, Aya! I've been really hungry myself, ever since I got tapped dry by ol' Tits McGee here." Saki said looking at Saaya as she slammed down a few more undead.
"Come on! Not you guys too!" Saaya said shocked by their behavior.
"Let's worry about celebrating later after we deal with the problem." Ace said slicing through a couple undead with his sword as the barrier went down and they continue down the peer before a barrier blocks them again and a new type of undead appears It was very tall it's body was blue while it's head and limbs were a dark yellow.
"Feel like I've seen these things before, a long time ago…" Aya said as she looked at the new undead spirit.
"They don't have any weapons, but there is definitely something off about them." Saaya said worryingly.
Ace chopped off a limb on one of them and noticed it was growing back as his eyes widened in shock. "These things can regenerate! Take them down quickly or we'll be here all day dealing with them!" Ace shouted to the others as he used a new skill he recently learned. "Hassou Tobi!" He yelled as he slashed the monster from eight directions causing flames to erupt from the slash marks completely destroying it.
"On the Hunt!" Maya shouted as she activated her ultimate by throwing Temperance and Vengeance at one of them magically slicing through it knocking it to the ground with the daggers directly under its neck as Maya jumped on the Zombie causing the daggers to stab through its neck killing it instantly as the daggers flew back to her.
"ULTIMATE"
"Prepare yourself for a blinding storm! Brilliant Overlord!" Guy shouted launching multiple sword beams and stopped for a few seconds then launched a few more trapping the rest in an electric sphere. "Never fight a battle you can't win." He said as he sheathed his sword causing the sphere to explode.
The group finally made it to the end of the pier as a giant mutant jumped out of the water. It had multiple arms on its body and multiple faces going straight down its body. While the head on top roared the skull looked at the group which easily frightened Mari and Stoj. Ace used Breidablik to scan it and saw its name was Hekatonkail he also sensed a familiar power in it too.
"An Eidolon Soul?! How?!" Ace thought to himself shocked an undead mutant had an Eidolon soul.
"So you're the boss of this place, huh?" Saki asked looking at Hekatonkail. "Sorry to say, but you won't be for much longer…" She said as some of the group charged at it while the rest held the undead grunts back.
"*whistle* Yowza, I've heard of growth spurts, but this takes the cake!" Kagura said surprised by how big monster is. "What the hell does this thing eat, mountains?!" She asked as she dodged an attack from the monster and threw her boomerang at it.
Roy charged at it and charged Durandal with Fire and unleashed the attack stunning the monster. Ace then approached the dazed monster and kicked the skull face up and jumped onto its waist sticking his sword in it as he ran around bisecting it in half.
The group thought it was dead but they were surprised that both the bottom and top half were still moving around.
"Oh come on!" Al shouted in annoyance as she sliced an undead grunt in half.
"I'll go for its legs, Jago go for upper half!" Ace said as he went after the legs.
"Understood." Jago said as he ran after the upper half of the monster.
Jago jumped down in front of the monsters path in a battle ready stance. "Sorry, but I'm afraid your path ends here." Jago said before he unleashed his ultimate by slashing at the monster multiple times and jumped high into the air firing a huge endouken blast completely disintegrating it. He looked at where the monster disintegrated and shook his head in disappointment.
Meanwhile
Ace managed to catch up to the legs and instantly finished it off by slicing it down the middle. Everyone then regrouped as Ace saw a Golden Brown Soul appear and take the appearance of a tall robotic humanoids with multiple arms on its upper body covering it's face a bit.
"I am Hecatoncheir, my Gaian Salvo shall obliterate those who seek to harm you, call upon me when you need me most Child of the Feymarch." Hecatoncheir said before he faded into the orb and flew into Ace as the military quadcopter arrived and picked the group up.
Ace was sitting down while he activated his communicator to contact the others as the group flew to Los Angeles. "Hello? Is anyone there?" He asked through the communicator.
"Connor here. That you, kid?" A familiar bounty hunter in his own right asked on the other end.
"Connor? Hey it's so good to hear from you. How've you been?" Ace asked one of his best friends.
"Kinda in the middle of tracking down giant beasts. But other than that, I'm okay." Connor said.
"Huh, that's funny, me and the others dealt with a giant undead mutant in an alternate Japan." Ace said as he laughed. "Also it had an Eidolon soul inside it for some reason." He said.
"Good for you to grab it. Hey, this is a perfect time to call. I've been wondering about these pendants you gave us. They light up in different spots when we bond with our teammates like yours, right? What about the second part?" Connor asked.
"I transferred some of my power into them. while they allow you to bond with your teammates you'll be able to use a unique attack based on your friends abilities." Ace explained. "By the way, do you know anything about undead spirits?" He asked.
"Nah, That ain't my thing. You want options on the Undead, I got just the guy. Hey, Takeshi! Can ya to talk to Ace for a sec about the Undead? You are a master on the dark arts, right?" Connor asked.
"I guess I can, but that will depend on what spirits he's talking about." Takeshi said.
"Basically when we first arrived on this alternate earth, Hisako held her head in pain and told us that undead spirits rose from the earth and took the forms of corpses, these things are way different from the terrors in Valentia." Ace said with a grim expression.
"Rising from the earth?" Takeshi asked. "That's usually the sign of a necromancer."
"You might be right, whenever these things appear, some kind of red circle appears and the spirits come out in the shape of zombies, werewolves and vampires." Ace said. "But the thing about that is, the werewolves and vampires are zombified." He said with a grim expression once again.
"Red circles? It's just as I thought. Someone is summoning them there." Takeshi said. "The most viable way to clear them is to take out the summoner."
"But we don't even know where he or she is, but right now we're trying bring the countries that suffered the most damage back under control. We already freed Japan so we're heading to LA next." Ace said.
"LA? I heard from Jesse that the traffic there is the worst ever, but overrun by demons, it'll probably be even worse. Keep doing what you're doing, and you might get some more clues." Takeshi said.
"Don't forget this is an alternate earth I'm on. And thanks for the info, tell everyone I said Hi. By the way we have nine days left till Gargos arrives on Jago's Earth." Ace said.
"I know you've got what it takes to beat him. Give him hell for us." Takeshi said.
"You got it, Takeshi." Ace said as he saw his pendant glow a silver color. "I'll contact you guys again after LA. Bye." He said turning off the communicator as he and the others arrived at LA.
