Chapter 14 pt 2: Training and interacting.
The City Ruins
(3rd POV)
It was a quiet day in The City Ruins, the docile Machine Lifeforms walk around aimlessly, or just stand there in the middle of the grassy field, minding their own business...
THUD!!
Until a loud crash could be heard from in the middle of said grassy field, a dust cloud forming from where the impact at. The machine lifeforms all look towards dust cloud and begin to approach it...
SLASH!!
Until one of the small machine lifeforms was sliced in half by a random sword slash. Before they could process what just happened, the dust cloud disappears and reveal both Zero and Xavier in the center.
"Hmph, you got some good reflexes kid." Zero said, smirking at him. Said person was bent backwards so he could dodge the slash attack aimed for his head.
"Either that or you're too slow old hag." Xavier remarked, smirking as he saw the veins on her forehead bulge from his comment. He stands up straight and gives her a smug smile, knowing he'll probably regret saying these next words to her...
'Oh what the hell, I have survived this long up in this world, time to test my luck.' He thought, before he looked directly into her rosy pink orbs.
"By the way..." He trails off, still with that smug smile on his face. "...How old are you anyways?" He said, the smugness increases twofold.
"..."
(Play AVOID ME 3 by KUTE)
Immediately he felt himself get kicked in the gut. HARD.
"Kugh!!" He immediately cough up blood from the kick, before his body was sent flying into a couple of old buildings.
The gathered machine lifeforms could only stare in confusion by this display of Xavier getting kicked away, but then they all felt a large wave of killing intent coming from the "Old Hag". They turn around and felt fear when they saw that Zero's body was covered in a solid pink aura, but there was a mixture of red and black in it as well.
"Alright then brat..." Zero said, Her right eyebrow twitching as she has a sweet smile on her face that promise a painful death. "Prepare to get your ass whooped." The moment she said that, she took off faster than the machine lifeforms could even track.
Meanwhile, Xavier was slowly picking himself up after going through five or seven buildings. Groaning out in pain, he place a hand on his head and winces from the pain. He then felt his ribs pierced his left lung, making it hard to breathe.
"F-Fuck, that'll leave a mark afterwards." He said, as he struggles to get up from Zero's attack. "S-still worth it t-though." He said as he look up and felt his whole body freeze up once he saw Zero standing directly in front of him, with one foot on top of a pile of rocks.
"Is it still fucking worth it, knowing I'm going to have you gutted you like a damn pig?" She asked him, her aura not fading in the slightest.
"...Mayhaps." He responded with a cheeky smile on his face, making her right eye twitch in annoyance.
"Any last words brat before I cut you into tiny ribbons?" She asked him, preparing to send a stronger slash attack at him.
"Why yes I do." Another smug smile appears on his face, making more visible veins appear on her forehead.
"Well? Spill it before I spill your goddamn fucking guts all over the fucking floor!!" She yelled out in anger.
His smile only grew as he gets into a thinking pose and closes his eyes. After a good ten seconds, he open his eyes and stare into her eyes once more.
"I didn't know an old hag like you still wear panties! I thought they still wear bloomers!!" He exclaims, still with that ever present smug smile.
"..."
"White is a nice color too by the way. Though I thought you would wear a black lacy one instead of whit-"
He stopped once he felt her aura and killing intent increase tenfold. The last thing he saw was her bringing her sword down with an expression that was full of rage.
...It was right here and there that Xavier is reminded on why he should never piss off a woman, when not to be a straight up pervert, and finally...
"DIE YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!"
That you should NEVER ask a woman about her age.
30 minutes later
"AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
64B and her squad could only sweatdrop at the current display that they was looking at right now.
They could see Neltharion laughing out loud, as he's currently banging his claw and tail against the ground. Zero was sitting across from him, currently reading a book with a genuine smile on her face, to which surprised all of them once they saw it. And finally, they saw Xavier currently bandaged up from his torso, arms, and legs. They see Devola and Popola currently applying more bandages on a pretty nasty wound on his tail, said tail twitches in pain when they tried to apply the bandage onto it with some cleaning alcohol.
"U-Ummm sir, are you o-"
"I'm perfectly fine 72B, nothing to-Ack! Nothing to worry about." He said with a straight face, making Neltharion's laugh become much louder than before. Xavier sighs out loud in annoyance and defeat, knowing this is his own fault.
"O-Ok then, if you say so sir." 72B said, as Zero scoffs out loud.
"Maybe next time you'll know not to get on my bad side." She said to him.
"Noted, I'll make sure to not piss you off ever again." He said with a defeated tone in his voice.
"Good." Zero said, giving him a smile. "Although I expected some sass or a remark from you." She said, frowning a bit as she looks at him. "What made you change your mind?" She asked.
"Nothing. I lost by my own hubris and paid the price for it." Xavier said, looking down at his hands. "So I have nothing to say, nor do I have any remark to use right now." He told her, but Zero and Neltharion could tell there's more to it than that.
"Alright then." Neltharion broke ths silence. "After these two get done with his wound, everyone except Zero, leave the room. These two need to have a talk with one another." Neltharion said.
They were confused at first, but soon they nod their heads, leaving the room. Accord nods her head and leaves the room as well. Devola and Popola were the last two to leave since they really didn't want to leave Xavier's side. Neltharion saw this and couldn't help but to shake his head at this.
"Go you two, I'll be fine." He said, giving them a reassuring smile.
With great reluctance, they left the room with Neltharion in tow.
"And don't try to anything stupid with this one Hatchling, she'll probably cut it off if you try." Neltharion said to him, getting a scoff from Zero and getting a sigh from Xavier. Chuckling to himself he leaves and closes the door shut.
"..."
The both didn't even say a word they just sat there in silence for a while, Before Zero decided to break it.
"So what's up with you today? Surely you have more backbone than this brat." Zero said, crossing her arms under her chest.
"Well, this'll probably sound dumb and stupid, but what the hell. Nothing ventured, nothing gained." He said, before he looked directly at her face. "I suck, and I'll mostly die by the hands of your sisters if I'm not careful." He told her bluntly.
"True." She said, getting a "tch" from him.
"Honestly this is a lot harder than I thought it would be..." Xavier said with a mix of anger and sadness in his tone, as he look down at his hands. "Honestly the only reason I'm still alive is because of this necklace..." He said with great sadness in his voice.
"Ugh pull yourself together now would ya brat." Zero told him, getting his attention once more. "Stop being such a pussy right now and stop being so down in the fucking dumps." Zero said with some annoyance in her voice, making his right hand twitch in hint of anger. She notice this and smiles. "Good there's that fire, you still have it. Listen here kid." She said, as he stares directly at her once more. "As long as you still have that flame, not matter what helps you ignite it, you're not done yet, nor will you be done until you truly know it is done." Zero explained to him, making his eyes widen from hearing her say that.
"Wow..." Xavier said, before a small smirk appeared on his face. "Who knew someone like you could actually give out good advice." He said.
WHACK!
"OW! FUCKING BLOODY HELL WOMAN!! MY HEAD!! AHHH!! DID YOU JUST BREAK MY HORN AGAIN!?"
All of the androids present could only sweatdrop from hearing Xavier's pained cries and shouts of anger, awhile Zero could be heard laughing at his misfortunes.
The Next Day
"Hah!"
Clang!
The sound of blades clashing against one another could be heard in the quiet City Ruins once more, as both Zero and Xavier are back at it again. But this time no banter was thrown at each other.
"Good, it seems like you're improving with swinging a sword properly." Zero said, nodding her head in approval by this development. "Not only that but your footwork is good. Though your posture needs some work." She explained. "But-" She then bend over backwards, gracefully dodging his sword swing. Said swing sliced through the air behind her, cutting through some of the old support pillars from an old building right behind her. She then gets into a hand stand and twirls around like a dancer and lifts herself off the ground, gracefully dodging his low sweep attack from [Shin'en No Ryū Kurai] . This causes small chunks of the earth to get kick up into the air, before he look up and saw a heel aimed directly at his face.
Immediately, he tilt his head to right, as the kick barely missed his head by a hair. He then turns his head and didn't expect her to use this next attack.
Zero suddenly wrapped her outstretched leg his shoulder, then quickly, wrapped the other one around his other shoulder, and place his head between her legs.
...Now you see Xavier is a young healthy man, sure he's perverted at times, but he's mostly known to be more like a closet pervert. Regardless...having a woman place your head in between her legs, in the middle of a sparring match, wasn't on his agenda.
...Though he should have expected this to happen at some point, since this thing actually happened in anime and in that one episode of Death Battle: Dante vs Bayonetta.
This still didn't stop him from blushing like mad though...
"Mmph!" He tried to speak, but with his mouth covered by her white panties, so he couldn't really say much. But his troubles doesn't stop there, it only gets worse from there.
He then felt himself get easily lifted off the ground, saw his whole view spun a bit, before he finally was sent flying towards the large tree and slammed into it. PAINFULLY.
"Gah!" He said, feeling himself cough up a mixture of spit and blood. Then he felt something impale him in his gut, making him gasp out loud in pain. His eyes widen from the sudden force, and not only that, but he felt himself sink further into the tree he was now impaled into.
Before he could try to free himself, he saw a white blur flying towards him at speeds he couldn't react to and felt the sword sink deeper into his gut.
"Ugh! Ack!!" Was Xavier's only response as he felt himself cough up more blood from the attack, but also he felt his spine get completely severed, his ribcage break from the impact, felt his wings membrane snap, breaking like twigs, and finally his tailbone completely shatter from the base.
"-You're too slow to retaliate against your opponent." She finished, as she summons a platform and stands on it. She then gently grip him by the chin to see his face contorted in an expression of anger and pain, aiming a glare at her. She chuckles softly at this, before grabbing her sword, forcefully, and painfully, ripping it out of his stomach.
"U-Ughk!" He coughs up blood once more, as some of it gets on her dress and her face. She paid it no mind and grabbed him by the throat and held him up above her. "D-Damn it woman! Can't you let a guy like me catch a bre-Ugh!" He was interrupted by feeling her grip around his throat tighten, making him shut up immediately.
"Your enemies won't give you the same courtesy Brat." She told him. "You wanted me to treat it like an actual battle, well you're getting it." With that she send his body flying back towards the area they were fighting at, and watched a large dust cloud from the impact. Right when she was going to give chase, her instincts yelled at her to move. She listened and moved out of the way, as a huge black crescent slash slices through the tree he was impaled by.
After a few seconds of silence the top section of the tree began to slide down and crashed down towards the ground and onto a few old buildings along the way.
"Well it seems like someone is ready for round 2 then." Zero said, before she hold her sword and block an attack from Xavier. Said person had a look of determination on his face, to which, causes Zero to give him a challenging smirk in return. She then forces him back, getting into a stance and charges towards him. Xavier response in kind, awhile he has a small smirk on his face.
From The Resistance Camp
Back at The Resistance Camp, both Mikhail and Neltharion watch from the top of the roofs of the old buildings. They could see multiple explosions and dust cloud spread throughout the City Ruins.
"Uhhhh Mister Neltharion-"
"Youngling just call me Neltharion. I prefer it that way." Neltharion told the young dragon.
"Oh, ok then Neltharion!" Mikhail said some excitement in his voice, but he turned his attention back towards the spar (read as: battle) and couldn't help but to chuckle nervously at the destruction they're causing. "Should we stop them before things get a bit out of hand?" Mikhail asked nervously, garnering a amused chuckle out Neltharion.
"It's quite alright Youngling. They're fine and have everything under control." He told the younger dragon. "Besides, the only thing we need to worry about the amount of damage they're causing." Neltharion said, as one of the upper levels of an old building was blown completely into dust by both of Zero's and Xavier's attack, seeing them up in the air with big, wide smirks on their faces. This makes him sigh out loud and chuckle once more in amusement. "But I think we should leave them be and let them have their fun." He said.
"Well if you say so..." He said, watching both Zero and Xavier practically demolish the old buildings from the outskirts and completely wreck the insides of the ones closest to The City Ruins. "Say Ancient one?" Mikhail called out to Neltharion, garnering a full blown laugh from him.
"That's a nickname I haven't heard in a long time." Neltharion said with a smirk on his face. "Speak Youngling." He simply said.
"Could tell me about some of your adventures?"
"Oh?" Neltharion look towards Mikhail in amusement, before he decided to humor the younger dragon with to his request. "Very well then, ask away." He said, with a smile on his face, making the younger dragon's eyes lit up in joy.
Neltharion was then bombarded with many questions and topics about his adventures and life.
Back with Zero and Xavier
The both of them were still clashing up in the air, constantly clashing their blades against one another. Until they end the clash with a blade lock, and not only that but they was falling back down towards the earth at fast speeds.
Neither if them said a word, only staring into each other's eyes with a certain hunger for battle in their eyes.
Boom!
Then the both of them crash down onto the ground, kicking up a big dust cloud from where they're from. But then they soon jump out and landed a couple of yards away from each other. The both of them are breathing heavily from pushing each other so much, but they know they can still go for a few rounds.
"Say brat." Zero called out to Xavier, making him tilt his head to the side. "Why don't we stop here for now and continue your training tomorrow, ok?" She told him, making him pause for a minute and thinks for moment. After a minute or two, looks at her and gives her a nod.
"Sure why not, I need to break anyways." Xavier said, yawning a bit before he walks over towards a tree and sits down right underneath it.
He closes his eyes and sighs out loud in content as he felt his wound heal from their spar. (read: battle) He then heard footsteps and opens up one eye and see Zero standing beside him, before she gently plop down next to him. He then took notice that her wounds haven't healed yet, so he reaches into huge pool of mana, and begins to heal her body,
earning a gasp of surprise from Zero. Once she was fully healed, he stops and look towards her body once more.
...But then a blush quickly spread all over his face as he see that her clothes have large open cuts and gashes in them from their previous spar, showing off parts of her curvaceous body to him. He saw her underboob and sideboob more clearly now due to some of cuts marks he made on her person. Not only that, but he saw her toned stomach, curvaceous birth-giving hips, and her plump thick thighs.
Truly her body have most women jealous and envy to have a body like hers...
...And maybe have most crying with a tub full of ice cream to boot as well.
"Like what you see there, eh dragon boy~?"
He was snapped of his funk once he heard her talk, making his blush increase tenfold and look away in embarrassment from being caught staring ogling. He heard her giggle out loud at his embarrassment, before she decided to tease him more. "Well I don't mind one bit honestly~ in fact~..." she trails off, not only getting his attention, but she crawls over towards him sensually. This makes him panick a bit, before she place one hand on his lower stomach and slowly trails it up to his chest.
Zero chuckles softly at Xavier's fidgeting, and his erratic movements.
"H-Hey now Z-Zero, let's not get carried away here." He said nervously, gulping audibly once he felt her other hand upon his chest. She then push him down onto the ground and straddle his lap, a small suggestive smirk on her face once she felt his little "friend" slowly rising below her.
"Ara Ara~" She laughed softly, leaning down towards his face and begins to whisper in his ear. "And here I thought someone as young as you don't fine older women like me to be attractive~ So was it all a lie~?" She asked him, gently blowing against his ear. She giggles sensually once she felt his whole body jolt up in surprised, shock, and arousal. "Ara, what a cute reaction you just showed me~" She purred seductively, feeling his "friend" rise ever more. "I wonder what else you have in store for me~?" She said, gently tracing small circles on the center of his chest.
"I-I-I..." Xavier couldn't say anything, his brain overheating itself from the amount of lewds thoughts and arousal.
"Pffft..."
Snapping into reality, he look up and saw Zero trying to hold in her laughter.
(Play Jeopardy countdown theme)
...
RIIIIIING!!
(End Jeopardy countdown theme)
After a moment of him sitting there, he finally realized what she just did and he couldn't help but to let out a roar of frustration and anger from what Zero just did.
All he think about is...
'SHE JUST BLUE BALLED ME SO FUCKING HARD!!'
If one could heard well enough they could heard the loud laughter of both Zero and Neltharion in the middle of the day within The City Ruins.
