Gareki, Etsuko, Taka, And senji were now making there way to there positions, In the middle of the woods. It was dark and cold. But they could see perfectly fine and the cold didn't bother them as much.
They ran fast but quietly. one sound could alert the varuga and give away there position. Knowing them. The varuga would rip them to shreds if they new they were there.
gareki looked behind him. With his vision he could see a mile away. Making sure that group C/ aiko and Tsukumo were there. They were. Turning back around to look ahead of himself they were at there assigned position. they all stopped in place and hid behind tall bushes. a minute later they heard group C arrive in there positions also.
etsuko and gareki looked threw the tall bushes to see alot more varuga then they had to fight in the mansion. Huph so hirato was right. thought gareki. slowly pulling out his machetes. the others did also.
Gareki put up his hand making a signal to not attack yet. The varuga were doing something but what. Taking a closer look gareki"s eyes widened in shock as he saw all of them feasting on human body parts obviously belonging to the town near by. The stench of blood hit his nose hard. Making His mouth water... No this wasn't a time for blood drinking he needed to focus.
The others were affected by the smell also but they fought there urges to focus. Now it was time for them to make a move. Jumping up high gareki raised his machete and landed the tip of it on a varuga's neck slicing it's head off making blood fly.
Etsuko and the others followed. She hacked off a varuga's legs making him fall to the ground and cutting into it's heart making it die instantly. she swung around cutting off three heads of varuga who were trying to cut into her stomach with there hands. she jumped up reached into her pocket and threw five knives at the varuga who were headed for taka behind his back. landing a perfect hit into the back of there necks.
Taka kicked and stabbed varuga as they came his way. three of them almost stabbing him in the stomach but he back flipped out of the way. Throwing knives at them killing six. but three dodged and ran for him. Taka looked behind himself quickly to see four more heading his way. he had no other choice but to jump. He threw his machete aiming for there mid sections. It cut threw the four of them and swinged back into his hand. looking back he didn't have time to attack the three varugas that were heading his way. Until senji jumped in and cut there heads off.
Blood was all over his machete. Taka landed beside him holding his machete out. thanks for that. he said
welcome. senji said jumping forward. plunging his knife in a varugas neck. with his other hand he swung his machete cutting varuga who who were trying to bite his legs and throat. He could hear them scream in agony as they bled out. pulling out his knife in the varuga's neck and turning around he came face to face with another varuga he was bulky looking. shit senji said as the bulky varuga grabbed his neck trying to choke him. he struggled to get his knife up , but soon he was able to. senji quickly cut the varuga's right eye. making him let go of his neck. Trading his knife for a machete senji hacked off the varuga's head. sending more blood flying onto himself. He quickly turned around to handle the other varugas
Etsuko was running with two machetes in her hands cutting into varuga hearts. Leaving a trail of dead vampires. she stopped and turned around there were six more heading for her. she looked to the left of her and saw a tree. seeing this she headed for it. the varuga right after her. she ran up the tree stopping in the middle and pushed her legs outward making herself backflip in mid air. With the machetes in both hands she cut threw four of them. The other two had moved out of the way just in time. landing back on her feet. the two varuga came closer.
looking closely she could see that there finger nails were long and sharp. Perfect for cutting threw flesh. She didn't want to get to close so she pulled out two knives pulling her hand back she was about to throw them when she felt someone grab her arm. I don't think so. The varuga said in her ear. She gasped in shock trying to pull her arm away. she reached into her other pocket with her other hand to try and cut the varuga's hand off. But he grabbed that one to before she could stab him.
etsuko grunted in desperation as she tried to wiggle her her arms free. She gasped as the two varuga in front of her were close enough to penetrate there clawed finger nails into her stomach. No she wouldn't die like this. Summoning up her strength she threw her head back hard against the varuga holding her arms. he let go reaching up to his face. etsuko crouched down pulling one of her legs out then swiftly swiped the two varuga's feet off the ground making them fall. with the two knives in her hand she threw them into the varuga's hearts. she quickly turned around with the third knife in her hand and cut the varuga that was holding her in the neck.
she looking up varugas were every where. Was this the second wave or the first how were they suppose to tell the differance. she looked to her right taka and senji both had there hands full with killing varuga. But... She couldn't see gareki. Oh no she thought thinking the worst thing possible. Is he... dead- No he can't be he's strong. He did better then all of us in training. He couldn't be- Varuga were heading her way oh great she thought running in the other direction. I shouldn't let my thoughts distract me. she said pulling out her two machetes.
There was a group of varuga in front of her bringing her hands back she stabbed threw them aiming for the heart. Turning around she kicked one in the gut making it fall against another varuga. Behind her another varuga grabbed her by the legs making her fall over and dropping both of her machetes one of the two of the varugas grabbed one holding it above her back getting ready to kill her. etsuko tried to grab for a knife in her pocket but another varuga stepped on both of her hands.
Not so fast girly. Said one of them. her eyes widened in horror. she was going to die and she couldn't do anything about it. all of a sudden the varuga stepping on her hands had a machete sticking threw his chest blood running out of his mouth as he fell forward but not before someone pushed him to the side. retrieving the machete from the varugas chest. Was gareki his blood red eyes appearing vibrant from the dark woods.
Who the hell is this- said one of the varuga but was penetrated threw the chest before the last word made it out. The varug that was holding etsuko's legs lunged forward with his hand shaped like a knife aiming for gareki.
But he side stepped pulling up his machete and bringing it down into the varugas stomach letting him fall to the ground. etsuko was still on the ground stareing at him in shock.
Your not going to stay there all night, are you? He asked reaching his hand out. she quickly picked up her machetes and grabbed it. Thanks- Behind you!
Gareki moved out of the way as a varuga tried to hit him in the head. he quickly stabbed it in the throat. looking around they were surrounded. Gareki and etsuko were back to back with there machetes out. he quickly reached into his pocket pulling out the flare gun to alert Group C to attack. Cover your ears. she did so. then he fired the gun into the sky. It came out red.
The varuga surrounding them stopped and stared at the light. Jumping from a high up tree was Aiko and tsukumo with knives in there hands throwing them perfectly into the varugas chest and into there necks making them die instantly. they landed in front of gareki and etsuko. That was close we almost got killed. said etsuko.
It's good that you didn't said tsukumo. she looked around most of the varuga were bunched up surrounding taka and senji who were back to back with there machetes held out. we have to help taka and senji. tsukumo said pulling out her knives. and running towards them.
gareki and the others followed. With there machetes and knives up and ready. they all had to attack some of the varugas to get to taka and senji.
gareki cut threw two of the varugas faces but one dodged out of the way etsuko threw a knife at the one he had missed and it fell to the ground. Tsukumo punched one in the face bringing up two knives and stuck them into there heads making them fall over.
aiko jumped up and whacked two more varugas in the head with her machetes. Three more varugas ran up behind her in lightning speed she turned and barley was able to stab them in the chest as one of them grabbed her legs twisting both of them. she screamed in agony as she fell back to the ground. tsukumo who was ahead of her tried to run back in the direction but ended up being bitten in the shoulder and ruffly shoved back a few meters away.
Gareki threw his machete at the three. making them yell as they were struck with the sharp object. etsuko threw her knives at them and killed all three. she quickly headed to aiko her legs had been broken but now they were repairing themselves, it would take a couple of minutes. Etsuko dragged aiko up a near by tree and sat her down. I don't know why I'm helping you? etsuko muttered. come and help us once you've healed ok. she said.
Alright. Aiko said. etsuko jumped down from the tree to help gareki with tsukumo who was unconscious. They sat her down in another tree that was close by. making sure she wouldn't be seen from varuga. then they jumped down and ran towards the group of varuga.
They had all killed alot of them already and had to jump over dead bodies. the group of varuga would be the last of them. Eva and yogi were busy handleing the rest in a different position they were skilled they wouldn't need any help against them.
Gareki and etsuko made it to the group of varuga huddled around taka and senji. once they got there they could smell blood and hear bone breaking. Gareki quickly killed the five varuga that had spotted them will etsuko sliced the heads and the midsections of the rest of the varuga. What they saw next shocked them. Taka and senji were both dead. Both of there red eyes were lifeless and there faces were of pain and desperation. gareki sunk to his knees his eyes wide.
..W-we couldn't get here fast enough. He said shocked. This.. can't be real. they can't be dead.
etsuko was on her hands and knees looking down at the two lifeless bodies crying. I'm so.. sorry. she said sobbing. we'er all.. sorry.
Gareki closed his eyes tightly. Dammit! I was suppose to protect them. This was an order from hirato. Gareki didn't respect him but he still had to look out for the people that were close to him. He clenched his fangs together as well as his fist. they'll.. pay. He said savagely. just then he heard a stick crack.
Gareki and etsuko stood up quickly with there machetes in there hands. looking up they saw two varuga. Both with red and orange hair. Dark grey skin. and red eyes.
One of them had three piercings threw his nose and two in his bottom lip. Making him have a scary appearance.
The other one was clear of piercings except for the one sticking to his ear and ending to his nose. He gave them both an evil smile. Mouth full of fangs. They were both holding aiko And tsukumo in there grips. Gareki had seen this varuga before but he couldn't place his name he knew this guy had told him.
Well... well look what we have here Damien. he said referring to his partner. looks to me two stupid kids have lost there place.
Gareki's face was serious not being afraid at all.
Humph... I don't know who you kids are but it seems you two made a huge mess of my boys here. He said looking around at all the dead varuga bodies. His smile quickly disappeared. I don't appreciate messes. so now Me and my friend. will make a mess of your friend here. he said. Then they both held up tsukumo and aiko.
Let them go! etsuko yelled.
the dude with the piercing to his ear and nose said. Alright let the blonde go I'm sure shes dead now. Damien threw tsukumo towards etsuko and she caught her. Then asked what do you mean shes dead.
he smirked and said. I'm guessing you two don't know this but from the looks of her shoulder I'd say shes been bit by my kind. whenever we bite someone it turns into poison and kills them instantly. your friend there is now dead.
Etsuko was shocked. That can't be.
Oh it is. And now I'm going to kill your other friend. As he said this he begain to sqeeze aiko's neck. Gareki took a look closer these two were bulky looking and looked like they were fast runners. They had to think of a way to fight them and not just jump into it. He thought. But etsuko was taken over by hurt and revenge. She jumped forwards fast with her machetes ready to kill. Then yelled out a battle cry.
Gareki saw this and yelled. wait! but was to late as the varuga with the piercing hooked to his nose and ear lurched forward with his hand shaped like a blade and stuck it into etsuko's stomach. her battle cry turned into a scream of agonizing pain.
NO! Gareki yelled jumping forwards to attack the two varugas. He didn't care that they would probably be stronger then him. He didn't have time to think of a plan to fight them. He just jumped forward with his two machetes in both hands ready to kill them both.
Damien ran in front of gareki in lightning speed then knee- kicked him in his gut. All the air in gareki's lungs lurched out of him as he went up in the air. Then damien reappeared on his side and punched him in the face. Gareki saw stars until he felt the guy punch his back sending him hurdling to the ground hard. he could see etsuko's body laying in front of him. In the end he couldn't protect anyone. he coughed up blood. His machetes were a few inches away from him.
aw to bad if you had just listened to this guy you wouldn't have ended up dead. said the guy with the piercing hooked to his ear and nose. He was talking to etsuko.
he laughed. now it's time for your other friend to die he said as he choked the last remaining air out of Aiko letting her go. she fell to the floor dead also.
gareki looked over to etsuko's body. And thought about all the peaple who wanted him to win and fight. Flashes of them all went threw his head. From the time him and etsuko met and she had told him to fight for freedom. The time when nai had died he had told him to win and that he was a good person. the training he had to go threw and how he had won all of them with determination. The time when hirato told him to not let his comrades die. the pain and tears he had shared with etrsuko. The anger he felt when aiko had ignorantly yelled at him about his parents and him living on the streets. The time when he first say nai in the ally way running from yogi. He remembered saving taka and senji in the first mission they had to go on in the mansion. He remembered when etsuko had slept in his room and rapped her arms around him just like his mother used to. And remembered when he admitted he had feeling for etsuko when he yelled at aiko.
He couldn't let those memories die and disappear just like his parents. Gareki summoned up his strength. the last thing he remembered was the guys named who had killed the girl he loved... getting to his feet he walked slowly over to his machetes and yelled. RIDER! as he jumped forwards at the varuga.
damien had punched him in the stomach again before he made it to the varuga who had almost killed him when he was a kid... I'm not... Going to... DIE TODAY. gareki yelled threw clenched fangs. His eyes were blazing red.
Lurching up he stabbed damien in the heart his machete coming out of his back as gareki stabbed him deeply. Gareki sighed as he pulled out his machete it being covered in blood. Damien sagged to the ground dead.
Gareki looked up slowly his blood red eyes blazing and his fangs clenched together in hatred. He lifted up his blade and said. You.. die ..next. Then he ran fowards.
Rider jumpd into the air landing behind gareki. trying to punch him but gareki side stepped and cut threw his arm in lightning spead. Rider grunted and jumped backwards. gareki was behind him in seconds. rider looked behind him and tried to run forwards but gareki had grabbed his hair and threw him to the ground he stood over him pointing his machete at rider's heart. Rider's eyes widened W-who are you? he asked.
Gareki smirked remembering the time when rider had asked him that when he was choking him as a kid. That's weird to ask since your about to die but if you must know the names gareki. He said repeating the words rider had said to him when he was about to die. Then penetrated his machete into rider's heart.
Gareki sighed. Now came the hard part seeing if etsuko was still alive. Just like he had feared she wasn't she was gone. But he be damned if he left there bodies there in the woods he wanted them to at least be buried.
Reaching into his pocket he picked out the green flare signaling that his the group had injuries and to come quickly. covering one ear he raised it into the sky and shot it. Green smoke went up into the air.
After a few minutes yogi and eva appeared bloody and breathing hard from there battle with the varuga. They looked in shock at aiko, etsuko, Taka, and senji. who were dead. they didn't say a word but picked up there bodies. once eva came to etsuko"s body gareki said don't I'll carry her. Then the three of them headed back to the ship.
