Beautiful Corpses
(Onechanbara ZII Chaos- Abnormal Journey.)
The group finally made it to LA and Aya suggested they take a quick break by the beach. The girls some from Ace's team and the four were lounging on beach chairs.
Meanwhile Ace was looking out to the ocean with a thoughtful expression as he clutched his pendant tightly and was only wearing swim trunks showing a tattoo symbol of the Nephilim and the Feymarch on his back.
Stoj was building a sandcastle with Leviathan, Harpuia and Phantom were on a building surveying the area, Azura was dancing, Roy was sword practicing, Jago was meditating, Fefnir was firing multiple buster shots out to the ocean, and Guy was swimming in the ocean in his swimsuit costume.
"*sigh* Maybe I should leave the undead spirit hunting to the others…and just keep on sunbathing right here." Aya said to herself as she had her arms behind her back and layed on the chair.
"Come on, Aya! Be serious! I only came along because you said it would be a quick rest break…" Saki said to Aya before taking the same pose as her.
"It doesn't seem like it because you've been relaxing a lot since we got here." Al said to Saki as she laid on her frontside on the chair.
"Y-You're not going to flake out on us too, are you, Sis…?" Saaya asked Kagura nervously but saw that she was sleeping.
"Seems she took Aya's advice well." Mari said reading a book.
"Just so you guys know...I'm hearing all of this. Get moving!" Anna said through the groups ear comms.
"Okay, okay. I will be ready in a moment." Kagura said sleepily in broken Japanese as she gave a thumbs up.
"Alright. Break times over, everyone. Let's get out of these swimsuits and scope the area." Ace said to everyone as they went to change into their normal clothes.
The group decided to start their search on a blockaded street as they headed to the boardwalk.
"All right. Some undead spirits have been discovered sliced and smashed up by the shore. I haven't received any intel about other hunters...but there definitely seems to be someone out there in this same line of work." Anna explained as the group fought some undead spirits.
"Got it. We'll check it out once we get rid of these guys." Ace said to Anna as he gestured to the undead spirits before splitting one in half.
After the group killed a few undead spirits, a huge one appeared and bull rushed through the abandoned cars towards the group.
Ace opened Breidablik and scanned the new enemy and saw its name was Gigas.
Ace summoned Hellfire and dealt heavy hits stunning it giving Saaya a chance to saw one of its arms off.
Jago charged in as well dealing multiple punches and kicks stunning it once again which allowed Aya to slice its other arm off finishing it.
The group headed to the boardwalk and were trapped again.
"Ooh! Been a while since our last beach trip, huh, Saki?" Aya asked her sister as she threw a couple of knives at the spirits.
"Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've ever gone swimming with you, Aya." Saki realized as she performed a slamdown on one of the spirits.
"Can't swim too well, myself, on o' account of these flotation devices I got. Heh...ow!" Kagura said referring to her you know what before she was bonked on the head by Stoj.
"TMI Kagura, TMI." Ace said using Gaia's Wrath on a couple of undead spirits.
"Too well"? When did you learn to swim at all? I didn't think you ever had…" Saaya said as Kagura grew a shocked face.
"Saaya!" Kagura said trying to shush her sister.
The barrier went down as the group finally made it to the beach to see two undead schoolgirls drenched in blood with weird red marks surrounded by undead spirits. The tall one was holding a chain and spiked ball while the short one had triple bladed claws.
Ace quickly scanned them and saw what their names were. The tall one was Sayaka and the short one was Anzu.
"I wonder how much torment THEY'LL be able to withstand? Heheh…" Sayaka asked Anzu as she laugh creepily.
"Tee-hee! Finally, sister, we've found ourselves some real playmates! Especially that one with the naginata!" Anzu said to Sayaka as they took a battle stance while she looked at Hisako.
"Wait a minute… Aren't you two…? No it can't be…" Aya said to herself as Ace looked at her.
"You've dealt with these two before Aya?" Ace asked slicing an undead spirit in half.
"Yeah it was during the first two undead spirit incidents." Aya said dodging Sayaka's ball chain.
"They're drenched in blood." Saaya said looking at the two undead girls.
"Guess now we know who's been horning in on our biz. Don't seem like they're keen on teamin' up though." Kagura said dodging Anzu's claw swipes.
"No kidding. I wonder who summoned them this time…" Saki said as she launched a couple of sonic sword waves at Anzu.
"Probably the one who caused all this." Ace said as he dealt a couple of Spear thrusts with Judgement Bolt on Anzu.
Saki managed to stun Anzu as Maya went in for the kill and unleashed her ultimate instantly killing her.
"ULTIMATE"
Then Anzu was stunned by Ace as he and Aya decided to finish her off. Aya attempted to attack her but Anzu quickly recovered and jumped over about to attack but Aya quickly dodged and kicked her in the solar plexus sending her flying. Anzu quickly got back up and looked around failing to realize Ace was behind her as he dealt the finishing blow.
"Hassou Tobi!" Ace yelled as he sliced through Anzu in eight directions in the air causing the flames to disintegrate her.
The team regrouped as they saw three orbs appear before them, the middle was a normal red, the right was water blue, and the left was yellow as they took forms of girls in armor based on insects of varying sizes. The middle was tall with red armor resembling a praying mantis, the right had blue armor and was round and short and resembled a ladybug, and the one on the left had yellow armor and resembled a wasp.
"We are the Magus Sisters, I'm Sandy and these are my sisters Cindy and Mindy. Call upon us and we'll make sure our Delta Attack beats your foe to a pulp." The one in the middle said as she introduced the girls on her left and right before they all turned back into orbs and flew into Ace as the Quadcopter arrived.
"Ace was currently sitting down in the hangar once again as they headed to Peru and decided to contact his friends again.
"Hello? Can you hear me?" Ace asked through the communicator.
"Loud and clear. What's going on?" Kokoro asked.
"Hello, Lady Kokoro. It's good to hear from someone of my fathers species." Ace said to the female dragon.
"You're making me blush more than Blazer." Kokoro said.
"Oh, I'm sorry. By the way how are things with you guys?" Ace asked.
"Pretty well. We've reached an icy landscape to face the beast there. I'm not down there, thank god." Kokoro said.
"Because your element is fire?" Ace asked.
"No, because dragons are reptiles and therefore get sluggish in cold temperatures, at least as far as I've heard." Kokoro said.
"But aren't lizards cold blooded even though they're reptiles?" Ace asked.
"Yeah, but dragons prefer volcanic climates." Kokoro said.
"Yeah, that's true. Also I just realized something." Ace said as he widened his eyes in realization.
"What would that be?" Kokoro asked.
"I haven't seen one of the agents of UltraTech since I got here." Ace said. "Maybe they're busy dealing with Gargos's mimics that Orchid told me about." He said.
"Maybe…" Kokoro said.
"Things have been pretty hectic since me and my team arrived on this alternate earth." Ace said. "There have been a bunch of undead spirits roaming around and we're currently bringing back the countries that suffered the most under control, so far we helped LA and Japan now we're heading to Peru." He said as he looked to see his teammates sleeping.
"You seem to be doing well, so I won't keep you any longer." Kokoro said.
"It's alright I'm glad that I'm able to chat with you guys. Tell everyone I said Hi." Ace said as he saw his pendant glowed a fiery orange on one of the spots and turned off the communicator.
