Meeting Lost Siblings
"Hey, Gas Mask! Catch!" Walker threw a buzz saw formed by Stalker to Krauser. Said man brought his fist up and the buzz saw disappeared as soon as it hit it "So much for that plan."
"I wouldn't call that plan." Stalker said.
"Do you have one?!"
"Well…no."
"Then let's move on to Plan C-23."
"Was every hit that you threw your plans so far?!"
"Yeah."
Stalker brought up a tentacle to his eye located at the back of Walker's jacket "We're gonna die."
Meanwhile, on Filia's end, she kept jumping around because Valentine has been throwing scalpels at her non-stop.
"Can't she take a break already?!" Samson complained.
"She doesn't even look tired." Filia added.
Indeed, the nurse didn't look like she had a single sweat on her.
"What's the matter, is that all?" She taunted.
"Screw this!" Samson formed a shield in front of him and Filia. The knifes all hit him "NOW!"
"Right!" Filia charged forward with Samson in shield form.
"Tch." Valentine stopped throwing and just stood there calmly.
"What's she up to?" Filia questioned.
"Don't know, but I suddenly have a bad feeling now."
As soon as they hit her, Valentine disappeared for a split second and reappeared in front of them with a clipboard in hand. She began writing something on it and thrusted her hand towards Filia as she and Samson were frozen in place.
"What the-?!"
"Samson, I can't move!"
"That's the point." Valentine said. She took out her bone saw and smacked them a distance away with the blunt end.
"I am REALLY starting to hate that woman." Samson said in pain.
Walker suddenly crashed next to them "God...Damn...cyborg..."
"Walker!" Filia shook him.
Walker sat up and shook his head "These guys are freaking annoying."
"Is that all you got?" Valentine taunted as she and Krauser approached them slowly.
Walker stood up and sprouted claws from his sleeves "I'm just gettin' warmed up, bitches."
Filia sighed "I hope the others are doing better."
On the other end of the battlefield, Francis and the others weren't holding up as bad as the parasite hosts, but weren't doing well either.
"Crap." Francis held his hand in pain as it previously hit the metallic arm of Arselite "That really hurts."
"That's what you get for punching metal, Handy Man." Arselite told him.
"I thought it was just decoration." Francis muttered before pulling his fist and stretched it towards him a second time.
This time Arselite dodged to the side and turned his arm into a minigun before firing it at Francis. Francis jumped into the air, using his arms to boost the height. He grabbed the around to the side of Arselite and went in to stomp him with his two feet which successfully connected. Arselite skidded across the ground before flipping to his feet again.
"You're not the only one that can stretch." Arselite said as his robotic hand fired at Francis and grabbed his shirt, reeling Arselite in to punch him with his other fist. Francis was knocked back and laid on his back.
"I forgot how much cops pissed me off." Francis shook his head and went back up on his feet.
Nearby besides them, Cerebella was having her own bout with Parasoul. And by bout, she's using Vice-Versa's arms to defend herself from gunfire.
"Doesn't that thing run out of ammo?" As soon as she said that, the gunfires stopped and she peeked out to see Parasoul running towards her and about to hit her with her umbrella, Krieg. Cerebella jumped back in time before it could hit her "Not so noble, huh, Princess?"
"I could say the same to a Medici like you." Parasoul launched mines from Kreig and making them explode as they got near Cerebella. Cerebella had to jump around if she didn't want to get blown up. And she was doing well until a debris hit her sides and a nearby explosion sent her on her back.
"Alright, no more Miss Nice Cerebella." Cerebella jumped back up on her feet and did a Tumbling Run towards Parasoul. Parasoul detonated some of the remaining mines, but Cerebella dodged them and turned Vice-Versa's horn into ram horns before hitting Parasoul with them.
Parasoul went back on her feet "She certainly is one of the Medici's best."
Meanwhile, Kage and Ms Fortune were tag-teamming against Mage and Peacock. Kage threw his kunais and they all connected with the cards that Mage threw. While doing this, he didn't realize Ms Fortune running from his side towards him with her tail-sword. Before she could cut him, she was blocked by another blade coming out of a revolver.
"Hold on, putty tat, that ain't fair."
Peacock swung around and cut Ms Fortune's head off, which flew into the air and landed on Peacock's face, where she proceeded to bite her.
She jumped off her face "Blegh, tastes like rotten fish."
Peacock stared angrily at her with bite mark around her nose "That hurts." She had a flamethrower magically appear.
"Hey, no need to be hot-headed now." She then started to roll and Peacock chased her and attempted to fry her.
Mage was just looking in disbelief "Patricia, isn't this taking it a little too far?"
"Don't take your eyes of the enemy."
Mage turned back towards to Kage, only to find him gone. He looked around for the ninja.
"Below you." The shadow below Mage's feet rose up and tied him up like a rope. Kage appeared from the shadow beside him "You are a good fighter, but you are still much too young to beat me."
Smokes suddenly surround Mage and Kage. When it dissipated, Mage appeared behind Kage with his bladed wand at his throat "Don't underestimate me, simply because I'm a child."
Inu then popped out and bit Mage's arm, who screamed. The shadow dog flew off and turned into a windmill shuriken that fell into Kage's hand "And never give your enemy the chance to breath."
A distance away from the battle, Spike walked back with Painwheel in tow. He looked at the battlefield clearly thanks to both his enhanced vision and his helmet. He looked around the battlefield.
"Who? Who is it?" After looking a couple of times he clenched his fists and roundhouse kicked a rock beside him, leaving a crack "Dammit, should've expected they wouldn't have a database for who's whose brother." He then heard a growling behind him "...Crap."
Spike backflipped before a fist could hit him. He looked to see that the person he was dragging, Painwheel, had woken up.
"Listen, I know you're pretty pissed at me for shocking you, but can this wait?" He dodged the spinning blade attached to Painwheel's back "Guess not." He brought his claws out and charged at the masked girl. She spun her spinning blades really fast and used it as a rotor to lift herself up. Spike's hand charged with electricity and he threw electric orbs at Painwheel who dodged them all. She thrusted her feet forward and charged at him. Spike back dashed and turned invisible. Painwheel kept her guard up waiting for her opponent to strike.
"Think fast." Painwheel looked back only to feel a fist to her face. She felt another one hit her gut. Then getting kneed in her guts. She then crouched down and spun her blades as she swung it around. Spike got hit and fell on his back and then jumped back up soon after.
"You're asking for it, you ugly bitch." He cracked his neck.
Painwheel growled at him "I told you to leave me alone."
"And I told you that I had my orders, but you didn't seem to care, so neither did I."
Painwheel screamed and launched her own spikes out of her fist. Spike countered with his own projectile spikes.
"Persistent little..." Spike charged his fist with electric energy.
Painwheel was going to charge again at her opponent before she looked at the battlefield "Filia!" She yelled. She looked back at her opponent and back to the battlefield. She spun her blades again and prepared to lunch herself forward. When she did, Spike rolled to the side to avoid being hit and/or sliced. However, when he looked back, she was flying towards the other fights.
"What the-Where the hell does she think she's going?" Spike ran after the project.
Painwheel, thanks to her copter blades, flew rather fast, but Spike still managed to catch up and started firing electric spikes rapidly. She dodged side to side, avoiding spikes after spikes.
"Get back here!" Spike jumped and grabbed onto her legs and they both crashed into the ground. Spike had one hand, feet, and knee on the ground while Painwheel was on all fours "You know what?! Screw orders! I'm sticking a spike through your neck!" Spike yelled as he had two spikes on each fist.
Painwheel only looked at him and screamed loudly.
Everyone stopped fighting when they heard a loud scream.
"What the hell was that?!" Walker yelled.
"Tch. It seems she's awake." Krauser muttered.
Soon, something black flew past them and smashed into the Medici limo. It is revealed to be Spike.
"Damn, that girl can hit hard." He stood up and shook his head.
"Porcupain, why did you return?" Krauser asked the boy.
"None of your business, Bad Breath." Spike replied. Painwheel soon followed and entered the battlefield "Nobody touch her. I'll finish her myself." He said as he cracked his knuckles and brought out his spikes.
"The objective was to bring her back, not annihilate her." Krauser told Spike.
"Screw the mission! I'm getting tired of her." Spike approached the girl but was stopped by the scientist.
"I can't allow that."
"Move, Krauser." Spike said threateningly.
"I will not, the orders were strictly to bring her back alive."
"Maybe you didn't hear me." Spike gave off an electrical discharge "Move!"
"Insolent little-"
"Think fast!"
Krauser looked to the side and got hit by giant black boots and skidded along the ground.
"In case you forgot, we're not done yet." Walker said as the boots reformed to tentacles and went back to Stalker.
"Got a plan this time?"
"Kind of. Remember that move we practiced?"
"The one that tore that one building?"
"Yep."
"Alright, but there's two problems. One, that thing takes awhile to charge, even longer if we want to knock him out. Two, he can easily dodge it. So unless we can make him stand still or at least get him distracted, this plan's not gonna work."
"Did you have to be so critical?" Walker replied angrily.
Krauser approached him slowly but noticed Spike running past him. He turned around and took a vial out of his coat and tossed it at him. Spike looked back and skidded to a stop before ducking and letting the vial fly above his head.
"Leave me alone, Krauser!" Spike yelled.
"You were not trained just so you could disobey." Krauser walked towards him "Whatever your agenda is, it is second to Lab Zero's. Now follow your orders."
"Oh yeah, make me, Shit Breath." Spike taunted and charged at the scientist.
Walker grinned and looked down at Stalker "Start charging, freak."
"You got it, weirdo."
With Valentine and Filia, they noticed Painwheel approaching them slowly.
"Great, it's bad enough that this nurse gave us a run, now we gotta deal with that thing." Samson said.
"L-let's stay positive here, Samson." Filia reassured her parasite "Who knows, she might be on our side?"
"Why would you think that?"
Painwheel leaped forward and nearly stomped on Valentine had she not moved out of the way in time.
"Um...there's that." Filia stated.
"Tch, so much for that." Samson muttered.
"Hm? What did you say?" Filia asked.
"N-nothing! Let's just help her out."
"Right." Filia nodded "Is Samson...hiding something?"
"The hell was that?" Francis looked back forward and jumped away avoiding a downward punch from Arselite "Tch, not the time figure it out." He narrowed at Arselite's metallic arm. Then at his left arm, then his right arm. He grinned "Worth a shot."
Arselite took his fist out of the ground "What're you grinning for, Snake Man?"
"Nothing really, monsieur." Francis said in his French accent "I'm just thinking of many possible ways to romance Princess Parasoul once I beat you."
"What?!" Arselite replied shocked "You...Are you saying you're planning to take her out on a date?!"
"Oui. I'm gonna give her a nice dinner, maybe a movie, go to her royal quarters, and end the night with a bang." Francis chuckled.
"OVER MY DEAD CARCASS!" Arselite rushed in for a powerful jab.
Francis' eyes were shadowed by his beret and smiled "Heh, that can be arranged." He said in his normal accent. He brought his left palm up and braced for impact.
Arselite punched into the palm and Francis just stood in place despite the pain in his left arm "Hurts, doesn't it?"
"Yeah, kinda." Then it looked like a shockwave travelled from Francis' left arm to his right hand as it expanded "But not as much as this will." He hooked the soldier right in the face and sent him spiraling back towards the convoy and smashed into a truck. Francis' hand shrinked back to normal as he shook it "Well, that takes care of that."
He was about to walk forward as a figure hit the ground in front of him. It was Kage, with scorch marks on his chest.
"What the-" Francis looked to his left to see Mage floating a couple of feet above the ground "So much for a break."
"One of my comrade is down, and so is one of yours. Looks like we're even." Mage said.
Francis cracked his knuckles "Let's get one thing clear, he's not my comrade. But I'd be more than happy to beat your ass, kid."
"I'm not a kid." Mage replied scornfully.
Francis popped his neck "Sure as hell look like one."
"Hmph. Can a child do this?" Mage outstretched his right arm as doves appeared and flew towards Francis. He dodged to the side as the doves hit the ground, causing mini explosions.
Francis looked to where he stood seeing explosion marks. He whistled "That's a neat trick there." He dusted his hands and pulled his right arm back as he formed a fist "My turn."
He launched his fist forward at the magician who flew higher into the air and avoided the fist. He retaliated by firing a red flaming orb. Francis grabbed the ground in front of him and launched forward and slid as he dodged the orb. Still lying down, he launched both of his fist at the airborne boy. Mage made an energy shield and as soon as the fists hit, he was launched higher into the air.
"GAH!" Francis retracted his arms and shook his hands "First metal, now energy? I gotta give this shirt an upgrade."
He stood back up as Mage landed back on the ground.
"I have to applaud your skills...for a mafia henchman." Mage taunted.
"Heh, you're not half bad either...for a kid." Francis responded.
Mage cringed at that and brought out the blade from his wand "I believe it's time we take the gloves us."
Francis punched his left fist into his right palm "Now we're talking."
The muscleman grabbed both his hands and stretched them high above his hand.
Mage brought his hat down as it shadowed his eyes "Bob."
"Right." Replied the small being inside his hat.
Mage took his hat off as he faced the bottom part towards Francis "Showtime." Bob floated out of the hat and above it as he gathered up energy in his hands and into the hole.
"Ready to see a rock hard snake?" Francis taunted.
"Disgusting joke."
"Good. It's the last one you'll hear." Francis smashed his fists to the ground as he sent out a shockwave in the ground that looked like a snake.
"Not likely. Miracle of Magus!" A beam of energy shot out of the hat and collided with the shockwave. There was an explosion and smoke covered the whole area between. Then suddenly, Francis' fist flew towards mage through the smoke.
"Got you now!"
Mage only grinned as he snapped his finger as an explosive orb energy flew collided with the fist. Francis yelped in pain as he retracted his arm.
"Dammit. I aughta-" He stopped mid-sentence and looked at his arm to see it limp "What the...why can't I move it?"
"Paralysis spell." Francis looked to Mage who had his hat back on and was floating towards him with his bladed wand "Simply put, I made your hand...unusable, for a while."
Francis growled "So what? I still got another arm here for you." He replied as he lifted his other fist, ready to punch.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Mage asked as he lifted his wand and it started glowing with energy.
Instead of hitting Mage, Francis threw his fist into the ground.
"What?!" Mage stared at the arm in the ground before feeling a hit from behind him. He turned to see that the fist came out from the ground behind him.
Francis turned his body to avoid getting hit by Mage's flying body. The young magician's body flew far and hit a the limo. He looked up to see Francis retracting his fist and gripping it.
"You're not the only smart one here, kid." Francis said as he proceeded to swing the fist at Mage again.
Mage brought up an invisible shield and blocked the fist "You just got lucky. Next time-" Mage stood up only to fall down again "What the-" He looked at his legs, laying limp like Francis' left arm "Don't tell me...He hit my spine?!" He looked back at the Medici man "Well played. Dirty, but well played."
"I'm a Medici, what'd you expect?"
Mage brought out his hand and was about to fire an orb when his hand sort of fizzled "Great, not only are my legs paralyzed, but I'm all out of mana." He looked back at Francis "He'll kill me."
Francis was about to walk towards him when he fell to his knees "Dammit, I didn't realize it yet, but the fight from the metal-armed man took a lot out of me, and so did this fight. I don't even have the strength to talk now."
There was silence between the two battered and tired fighters. mage was the first one to break it "How about we call it a draw for now?"
Francis looked towards him "I'd say...hell no...but...I'm too tired...to disagree..." He then fell forward and fainted.
Mage limped back to the limo and leaned against it "Dammit. The Medici really are ruthless." His eyes were shadowed by his hat "Ugh...can't...keep...awake..." Was the last thing he said before falling unconscious.
Peacock, who was in the middle of clashing her blades from her revolver with Ms Fortune's sword tail, saw Mage's unconscious body "Max!"
"Eyes on the paws!" Peacock turned back and dodged a claw attack from the cat-woman. Ms Fortune was about to pounce again when she heard a sound. It sounded like a plane. She looked behind her to see a small walking bomb on a small plane flying towards her. She exploded and her body parts flew all over the place. She noticed the girl with eyes on her arms approaching her with a sadistic grin
"Ha, I knew I'd win! Can't beat the strongest girl in all of New-" She got uppercutted by a giant orange fist "MERIDIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!" She yelled while disappearing in a twinkle in the sky.
"HA! How does it feel like to be blasted off?!" Ms Fortune yelled to the sky. She turned to her savior "Thanks for that."
Cerebella picked her head up by the ears "Well, the sooner we finish this, the better."
"I'm still not off the hook am I?"
"Nope." Cerebella replied as she proceeded to collect all the body parts to tie them back up again.
On a cliff overseeing the battle stood two figures. One of them was a girl with blue skin and a stitched mouth and a dress with a white serpent going out of her hair, and another was a boy whose head was a skull with a skeleton body and wore a suit with a giant black arachnid stuck on his back.
"Such chaos. Imagine when they reach the Skullgirl and her Skull Heart." Said the boy.
"Yes, can we really trust them?" The girl said.
"Unfortunately, we will need an army of our known if we wish to attack them." The white serpent said in a masculine voice.
"Getting them to join though, that will be a challenge." The black arachnid said in a feminine voice.
"That is true Arachnae. But it's the only chance we've got." The boy told the arachnid, Arachnae, on his back "For now, let us wait."
"Very well, Daniel." The girl said.
"I told you to call me Dusty, Serene."
"And I told you to call me Squigly."
Dusty smiled "Fair enough."
They continued to observe the remaining fights.
Note: FI-NAl-LY! I thought I'd never get this done! With the inclusion of Squigly, I finally found a way to introduce her and her counter part. How was it? Did I do good.
Anyway, let's hope the next one doesn't take as long. once again, please review, it helps inn motivating me. Til' next time.
