Chapter 20
Silent Hell – The End
Team 8 was living a nightmare, the thing they were facing looked like a movie monster, thousands of vines, filled with thorns, were trying to shred them to pieces, there were too many of them, and they were quite fast, so, to their shame, they had to take shelter behind the other more capable people
"This only reinforces my hatred at gardening!", Lee shouted, half joking, the vines were unable to scratch him, but were able to hold him in place, at least until he tore them apart, just to be wrapped again
"The gardening can be fun, more if you use the left overs as charcoal for a barbecue", Hela stated, while burning to ashes all the vines that tried to impale her, but she restrained from igniting the whole monster, for that could turn the building into the grave of the mortals that were with them, not that she cared for them, but since her realm was no more, well, she can't take their souls for advantage
"Ashlotte, go and get a weapon, I'll need you to protect me and my brother after this, this is very tiring!", Ed shouted to the mechanic doll, who nodded, and went to one of the walls of the room, and took from it a pure iron bar, it was as long as she was tall, in one of the tips, an iron catholic cross was attached, and in the other, the force she used to take it from the wall formed a sharp pike on it, giving it a menacing look
"This will do master", Ashlotte replied, while running toward the elder Elric brother, in that moment, Ed countered an attack from Ivy by freezing the air around the vines, making them frozen solid, and then Ashlotte used her new weapon to smash to little bits the monster appendages
"Ivy, please stop!, we can help you!, you can be a human again!", Al shouted, he just couldn't believe that the girl he just started to love, was already gone
"Stop me?, becoming human again?, how naive!, that's what makes you so cute and delicious!, stop fighting me!, be one with me again, and this time forever!", Ivy shouted, while producing even more vines, this was far from finished
Meanwhile, at the Hospital...
Naruto was having a though fight, so many Pyramid Heads, and a very close space to move, of course, this only made happy the blonde troublemaker, for he loved the idea of being forced to use his most powerful techniques, so, he did his best to force the creatures to get together, he encircled them, shooting nonstop, he was savouring the moment with anticipation, and as the creatures gave a grunt for hitting each other, he decided to make his final strike
"This is as far as you'll get, prepare to satisfy my hunger!", Naruto shouted, while he was running he summoned his Yokai shadows, so, instead of waiting for them to form, they just came from below the monsters, and started to devour them with frenzy hunger, in no more than 10 seconds, only the pyramid helmets and blades were left on the bloody floor
"Ha!, so much for celestial judges!, though your life surely will boost my own power", Naruto stated, he was about to laugh, when he felt it, the worst stomachache of history, his belly growled like a dieing animal, and he couldn't help but to clutch his belly and fall to his knees, this turned to be a bad idea, and it turned worst when he heard another Pyramid Head heading his way
"Ugh!, this is bad, I never thought I could get indigested... a regrettable miscalculation...", Naruto said to no one in particular, he was in so much pain that he found himself unable to fight or even flee, and he could only guess that his demonic regeneration would be crippled too, as he saw the monster getting closer, the only thing he could do was bracing himself and hope for his regeneration to not be too crippled, until...
"SHUT UP AND DIE!!!!"
The metal wall at the side of the Pyramid Head blasted open, and said monster got smashed by the body of a giant-bloody doll, large chunks of it's body were broken, and blood came pouring from the cracks, soon, the doll got surrounded by bladed chains, that tried to strangle it, until the figure of Anko crashed against the doll, pummeling it with spike covered gauntlets
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!", Anko kept repeating over and over, punching the doll nonstop, in a merciless fashion that was scary even for her
"It seems that Anko-sensei will require a group hug after this, and some therapy too, ugh!", Naruto weakly stated, still unable to move from his pitiful state, suddenly he vomited, and it was a mix of putrid blood and twitching muscles
"This is bad, Hinata-hime will not kiss me after this, ugh!", Naruto vomited again...
Meanwhile...
Hinata finally reached the door that held the reason for this madness, she was sure of it, for it was the only door that looked normal, a single white wooden door, clean, against the horrible rusty metal walls and floor, she unsheathed Masamune, and prepared herself to face whatever was inside, she opened the door, and at the sight that was inside, the grip on her sword loosened, and Masamune fell to the clean floor of the hospital room, she was ready to face an horde of demons, a cult of murderers, the Hokage himself... not a crying man doing his best to keep alive a dieing child that looked more like a charred corpse than a living human
"What... in the world?...", Hinata muttered, and the man barely turned to take a quick look at her
"Pure soul, if you are not going to help, then please leave", the man said, and then returned to attend the dieing child,
Hinata noticed his eyes, they were pitch black, but they weren't demonic, taking a better look at the man, he was about 6ft 2inches tall, he looked somewhat robust, his short black hair was curled, and he looked as if he hadn't shaved in a few days, he was dressed on blue jeans, combat boots, a white shirt, and a brown cargo vest, on the back of the vest was a red cross symbol, at the top of the symbol it was written with blood: All children goes to heaven, and in the bottom: Sinners will be punished
"Why?", Hinata asked, the man seemed to get angry at first, but he calmed instantly
"Because they did this, she didn't deserved it, they wanted to use her as a way to get cleaned of their sins, and now they are paying, and I will not stop until the last of the sinners is dead", the man replied, and Hinata decided to make a bold move, she got closer to the child, and started to cast healing magics on her, she noticed that the man didn't liked it, but he didn't stopped her
Mayor mansion...
"GOTCHA!", Ivy shouted in delight, for she managed to caught Al's left arm with her vines, half of her prize was at hand
"NO!", Al shouted in panic, for he felt his arm being crushed as Ivy pulled him toward her, but Hela managed to grab him by his right hand, and kept him in place, but still unable to burn the vines without incinerating the young blonde
"AL!", Ed shouted, trying to aid his brother, but this made him to lower his guard
"YOU TOO WILL BE MINE!", Ivy shouted, catching Ed by his right arm, she was about to pull him when Ashlotte got a hold on the Full metal Alchemist
"I won't let you go, Master Ed!", Ashlotte stated, keeping Ed from being literally sucked by the monstergirl
"We can't lose the Elric brothers!", Kurenai shouted, in hopes that one of her team managed to pull out a miracle, but Shino and Kiba were busy enough trying to survive, and Sakura was too much of a burden, or so she thought, for Sakura ran on the aid of the blondes
"Forgive me!", Sakura shouted, and then she launched two kunais with explosive tags, one to each of the arms trapped, she did this because the vines were too hard to be pierced with her current strength, so, she chose the other option, they will lose an arm, but they will save the life
BOOM! BOOM!
The explosion were simultaneous, Ed and Al were freed from the clutches of Ivy, and lost one arm each, the entire fight stop at this, none was able to digest the action of the pink haired kunoichi, nobody believed this course of action, even Ivy was shocked by this
"What?... why?... how?...", Ivy muttered, and before she could regain her composture, she got impaled by the very same weapon that Ashlotte was carrying, the sheer force of this made her crash against the wall, where she could only stare at the cold eyes of her executioner, and then went still
"EDWARD! ALPHONSE!", Lee shouted, while going to the aid of the Elric brothers, they were bleeding too much, and medical aid seemed to be out of question
"Here, this will suffice", Shino sid, while using some of his insects to stop the blood loss on the blondes
"Sakura!, what have you done?", Kurenai asked in shock, she knew that the maneuver that Sakura pulled was not uncommon, but only when there was no other option, she could at least have tried to blow the face of the Alarune, instead of the arms of the Elric brothers
"I... I... it was...", Sakura babbled, unable to explain her choice of action, but soon got interrupted
"You harmed my Master...", Ashlotte stated, and for the first time, her voice sounded quite angry...
Back with Hinata...
"This is all we can do, now please, stop this madness, there are people that precious to me, that are suffering for this chaos, they don't deserve it, for they always fight for what is right, for the very same children you love so much, we may be a little crazy, and overdo against the bad guys, but we only want a better world for those that can't fight, so please, at least allow my dear people walk to safety", Hinata asked, her face was of sorrow, for she knew that the charred girl was going to die
"I understand your concern, but, if I stop Alessa will...", the man started, but got interrupted by the charred girl
"Doc... you have been... so nice... with me... but I... must go... mom is... waiting for me...", Alessa weakly stated, and that was more than enough
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...", Doc sobbed, and soon Hinata felt the change in the ambient, the sun finally shined thru the windows, the air once again moved in the rooms, and the charred girl was dead...
