Author's Note: Ah, have fun. I know I did.
Black Rock Shooter and co. belongs to Huke.
Dragon Slayer walked through the Sky Gates, suppressing her powers otherwise her maids will find out about her presence. She was heading straight towards the structure that came out and sent B RS away to a different area, and Dragon Slayer was sure that area was Geshumaru's home. Sword drawn, Dragon Slayer neared the edge of the valley as she watched the mechanical wolves move about, their silent howls towards each other signaling conversation about something. Splaying her right hand, a gauntlet formed as amber-colored fire flowed out, coating the piece of armor as she gripped her sword in her armored hand. She was about to move when she heard a few machines creeping up on her, her eyes narrowing as she let a small flow of her power course through her.
"Fate is such a woeful experience to those who don't expect it," Dragon Slayer muttered before turning around, slashing at the air.
The air rippled as a faint amber-colored wave rushed towards the machines, encircling around them as they howled in pain, alerting the rest in their pack. Withing moments, the machines' bodies twisted and contorted before disappearing, becoming nothing more than specks of dust. Dragon Slayer turned around and saw the wolves running, firing fireballs up at the air before they descended upon her; a complete firestorm. Dragon Slayer ran towards the ledge before jumping off, dropping to the ground below as the fireballs hit the ground, causing tiny showers of flames. She landed on the ground and crouched down, analyzing how many wolf machines were around her, estimating that there's about a hundred-sixty, give or take.
"Hmm, don't expect mercy," Dragon Slayer told them as she slowly got up, rolling her shoulders, "I ran out of it long ago"
The wolves roared as Dragon Slayer dashed towards them, slashing away as she let her powers flow through her sword, ripping the machines apart until they were nothing. Her amber eyes glowed intensely as she focused her abilities, allowing reality to warp itself in certain area around the battlefield, causing small amounts of the machine wolves to disintegrate. She watch several wolves perched on the floor above fire fireballs at her in rapid succession, forcing her back to the wall as she tried to think of a strategy. Looking around, she scanned the area and noticed a couple of platforms and some chains dangling around before she looked back at the wolves nearing her. The huge pack probably split into different swarms and were lying in wait for her, waiting for her next action before they attack with everything they have.
Smirking to herself, Dragon Slayer sprinted off, the wolves giving chase as they watch her jump to the wall and start running on it, nearing the dangling chains. They started firing at the woman as she jumped off and grabbed a chain link, swing up before pushing off. She flipped in the air until she was looking down as them and aimed her sword at the small pack that forced her up against a wall and slashed at the air again. They started to run, but only three managed to escape as five got annihilated along with the rock formation. Dragon Slayer dropped to the path way and block the wolves as she stabbed the ground, causing the floor to split as a amber-colored energy wave rushed towards them, slicing the small ground in half.
Rolling her shoulders again, Dragon Slayer turned around and kicked a machine's head into the wall next to them, smashing it apart as she hooked her sword to the back of her jacket and fought off the wolves. Dragon Slayer jumped up and slammed one of the mechanical wolf's heads into the ground before ripping out its spine. Twirling it around her fingers, she swung with it and chopped off another wolf's legs before slamming it in the body. A wolf pounced on her, but she grabbed it by the jaw and ripped it out before tossing it away, taking her sword out again. More were coming from both sides, so she spun around as her sword cut through the air, an energy wave heading towards both ends and slicing through them as they started to crack before being eradicated.
Dragon Slayer looked around the area, making sure all of them got eliminated before she found one limping away, probably trying to survive and alert whoever sent them here. Hopping of the catwalk, Dragon Slayer strolled towards the limping prey, flexing her left hand as she pointed at it. Dragon Slayer blasted off a small part of the ground next to the wolf, which caused it to topple over to its side and lay there, its eyes staring at Dragon Slayer's eyes. She could recognize the fear in its eyes; the machine was feeling fear, which was impossible for any machine in the Otherworld for they only act to someone's commands. Staring down at it, Dragon Slayer took a couple of steps away while pointing her sword at it.
"I know you won't understand me, but your master might," Dragon Slayer said, "Do you want to know why I'm called Dragon Slayer?"
The wolf continued to stare at her, "I managed to slay a dragon around the second year of my existence as an Anomaly, but around that time, there was no true names of other selves, we weren't called anything
"I managed to slay the dragon without the use of magic, which I couldn't access at the time given how uncontrollable it was," Dragon Slayer explained, "With only my sword, I took on the creature and had to fight with everything I had, utilizing strategies that I had to form myself during the heat of the battle"
The wolf howled for a moment, causing Dragon Slayer to sigh, "Troublesome; the dragon was strong and my strategies just didn't work, until I realized I didn't need to use any specific strategy, I just had to think like a beast and slay it
"It was impossible to injure it given its shell, but the underside was open, so I risked my life by attacking the belly, forcing it down," Dragon Slayer said, her powers flowing again, "I didn't expect it to weaken, but it didn't matter, it got stabbed multiple times before I stabbed its head, killing it before I bounded it with chains
"My name came from that moment, but I didn't become feared until my powers came out again," Dragon Slayer told it, raising her sword, with the tip pointing down, "I can distort reality and make use of it in a specific way; don't worry, it won't hurt, the sword will kill you before my power seeps from the blade and rips you apart"
Dragon Slayer stabbed into the machine's head, causing the lights on it to flicker out before it contorted and got ripped apart by reality being manipulated. Dragon Slayer sheathed her sword and walked towards the structure that B RS entered before being teleported, the tower faintly visible from where she was. She didn't let her mind wander and quickly suppressed her power before her maids knew of her presence, she didn't need them to aid her in whatever is going to happen. Entering the tower, she walked straight towards the tower and started examining it, her left hand gliding along the etchings on it. Dragon Slayer paused before whirling around with her sword drawn, her amber eyes glowing.
"Come out," Dragon Slayer commanded, her eyebrows furrowing.
In the shadows, a person walked out and Dragon Slayer lowered her stance, "Oh, a pleasure to meet you again, Black Gold Saw"
"I'm not sure I should say the same towards you after what I saw," Gold Saw told her, crossing her arms.
"Oh, so you saw that display of brutality from me," Dragon Slayer said, her tone indicating she didn't care, "I only do that towards my enemies, but I digress; why are you here?"
"I noticed that beam of light and the vortex, so I came here to understand what happened," Gold Saw stated.
"Then we have the same goal, but I know something you don't," Dragon Slayer told her, "B RS was last spotted here before she disappeared, and I came to find out why"
"I knew she was here, I told her to head here, but I didn't expect her to disappear," Gold Saw stated, a hint of surprise in her voice.
Dragon Slayer nodded, looking back at the tower, "Most of the Otherworld is unnatural as it holds many secrets that I'm not aware of, but that doesn't mean that they can't uncover themselves with time..."
"I wouldn't know, considering I was born while the Otherworld was just layers," Gold Saw said, cupping her chin as she looked at Dragon Slayer's back, "What about you?"
"I was born long ago and have seen many things, things that would even cause you, a valiant fight, on edge," Dragon Slayer told her, looking carefully into the marking on the tower, "I don't want to carry any burdens on my shoulders, already got a big one, but I'm willing to carry them if it means I have chances to change something important"
Gold Saw looked at her incredulously, "That's insane, you would fall apart from the overload of so many burdens, it's impossible for someone like you to even do it"
"Maybe, but I'm not beyond the scope of possibility," Dragon Slayer explained, stopping her left hand when she felt a slight hollowness from the tower, "I believe I've found our gateway to where B RS might have gone"
Pressing on the hollow platform, it pushed back as the tower began pulsing, white light streaming from it before a white beam skyrocketed to the air, forming a vortex above them. Dragon Slayer narrowed her eyes as she felt the ground rumble below them, rocks coming from the ground and up into the vortex. Dragon Slayer heard footsteps near them and looked to her right, watching Maid Gunner and Underworld Vulcan rushed towards the structure. She wanted to curse herself, but didn't react instantly, instead, she looked at Gold Saw, who was still watching the vortex take everything. Dragon Slayer tapped Gold saw's shoulder with the back of her hand, catching the horned woman's attention.
"Listen carefully, go back and alert STR, Chariot, and Dead Master about this place," Dragon Slayer told her as her maids entered the structure, "Do not come here until a full day has passed, understand?"
Gold Saw nodded and dashed away, escaping the gravitational pull from the vortex as she looked back, watching Dragon Slayer, Maid Gunner, and Underworld Vulcan rise up into the air. They didn't try to escape and just pushed against the air as they went through the vortex before it disappeared. Gold Saw stopped dashed and turned around, staring at the structure with a critical eye while going over Dragon Slayer's words about the Otherworld. There really wasn't much about the Otherworld that was known, or got archived before other selves started dying everywhere, which left a lot for other selves to find. Gold Saw started to wonder if the structure was one of the mysteries in the Otherworld, but thought twice and dashed away; Dragon Slayer told her to alert the others about what to do a day from now, and that took priority over the structure's origins.
"I can't help but question what you were thinking when you decided to chase me, thought, paranoia does cause unexplainable actions," Geshumaru mused as she neared Mato.
"That's Mato for you, always know how to screw with people," Kagari mumbled before glaring at Geshumaru, "Hey, care to take us down from here?"
Geshumaru looked at Kagari, arching an eyebrow, "And what, risk you getting blissful revenge; I'm not an idiot"
"Argh, screw you, you bitch!" Kagari yelled.
Yuu watched Kagari struggle against the bindings Geshumaru placed on them before looking towards Saya, watching the woman think in silence, her eyes closed. A couple of minutes passed since they wound up in this situation, with herself, Kagari, or Yomi providing distraction, just to delay Geshumaru's actions. Yuu couldn't help but wonder what Saya could be thinking at a time like this when she saw Saya try to move her arms, but not against the binding. Saya slowly moved her arms through her coat's sleeves, focusing on her left arm first with difficulty. It took her about several seconds before she could remove her arm and start focusing on her right arm with the support of her freed arm.
Saya looked at Yuu and silently told her to keep distracting Geshumaru as she struggled against the jacket, Yuu nodding in confirmation as she looked towards Geshumaru, "Hey, what good will it do to kill B RS, hun?!"
Geshumaru glanced at Yuu, "I don't have to explain to you"
"But don't you think we need to know, we all tried to kill her before, and only Mato was able to beat her," Yuu told Geshumaru, "I don't find it justifiable if you're taking someone's life into your hands with no reason behind it..!"
"No reason, no reason..?" Geshumaru repeated as she turned towards Yuu, slashing towards the tree, a huge chunk ripped out of it, "I have every reason to kill her, she the cause behind every thing that happened to me..!"
Yuu held back a shriek and kept going, "And what's that?"
Geshumaru was about to yell at Yuu when she got hit hard on her back, Saya standing behind her with a now broken tree branch, her jacket and shirt left at the tree where she got bounded. The hit to her back caused Geshumaru to lose focus, causing the binding to disappear as the girls dropped to the ground, reorienting themselves as Saya went back and put on her shirt and jacket. They didn't have any time to waste, they needed to get out of there before Geshumaru got back on her feet and attack. Getting back together, they ran off, Saya trailing behind them as she kept an eye on Geshumaru, who was slowly getting back up. Geshumaru cracked open her eyes and caught a glimpse of Saya's hair before she disappeared in the trees, Geshumaru's eyes flashing azure as she grabbed her katana and chased after them, jumping up to the tree tops.
"Tch, they really want to piss me off..!" Geshumaru thought to herself as she looked below her, trying to find them.
Her eyes spotted Mato, who was looking around and just dashed off; probably separated from the others somehow while they were running away. Dropping down from the treetops, Geshumaru sprinted before she cut Mato off, surprising the raven-haired girl with her agility. Mato backed away as Geshumaru neared her, her blue eyes darting around as she tried to find a way out. Before Geshumaru could lunge at her, she felt two hands grab her coat and pulled her back, slamming her to the ground as Saya and Kagari pinned her. Mato sighed in relief as Yomi and Yuu came out from the trees, relief spreading through their bodies at their plan managing to work.
"Geez, that was a close one," Mato sighed as she walked up to Saya, "Thanks"
Saya glanced at Mato and tried to grin, but Geshumaru struggle was making it impossible, "No problem, but I can't say we can hold her for long..."
"Just try," Mato said as she walked around and bent down, looking into Geshumaru's eyes, "Why, what did B RS do to you?"
Geshumaru growled, her anger rising, "She took someone important from me..!"
"Who, a friend from the Otherworld?" Mato inquired, her eyebrows furrowing.
"Every action in the Otherworld reflects in the real world," Geshumaru mumbled before she relaxed, her eyes glowing azure.
Before Saya or Kagari could prepare themselves, Geshumaru pushed them off her back with whatever strength she had stored in her and got up, her eyes glowing as she neared Mato. Kagari instantly got back up and rushed towards Geshumaru, trying to punch her, but she got punched in the gut before Geshumaru tossed her away. Yomi rushed towards Kagari and tried to help her up, but they floated off the ground before flying towards a tree, getting stuck on it. Saya got up and grabbed a nearby branch, but Geshumaru pulled Yuu towards her and tossed her at Saya before sending them towards a tree too. Geshumaru turned around and felt Mato's punch in full fury before she grabbed the hand and flipped Mato on her back.
Geshumaru picked Mato up and glared at her, "I'm done"
Geshumaru threw Mato towards a tree, the girl slamming against it and dropping to the ground before she felt her body rising and attaching to the tree. Geshumaru picked up her katana and shifted hands, her left hand becoming the dominant force on the grip. Mato stared at Geshumaru with barely opened eyes, the pain roaring throughout her body as she tried to break out of the binding, but couldn't as Geshumaru neared her. She could feel an ominous presence coming from Geshumaru's blade as a blue flame covered it, changing form into a larger form of her katana. Everyone watched with forlorn expressions, feeling helpless after what they tried to do to stop Geshumaru, only to watch every thing fall apart right before their eyes.
"I don't care what you do to stop me, or what you'll feel afterwards, but I'm done," Geshumaru told them, her katana pointed at Mato's heart, "I'll never explain to you about what B RS did to me, besides, you will forget everything once I'm done, Kuroi Mato..!"
B RS backed away as she watched her opponent with a careful gaze, analyzing his movements as memories started to swim inside her. Her fight against Geshumaru's robot now wasn't like it was then, she was proceeding more carefully and avoiding any chance it had at grabbing her. It managed to beat her last time by breaking her body with a single impact against something, but she knew that she needed to go about it carefully. Other than that, it appeared skilled as a swordsman, and the knife it gripped backwards confirmed it. She never fought against someone who uses two sword-based weapons before until she met him, and getting beaten by someone more skilled wasn't just a blow to her by any means, she lost her life because of it.
The robot moved sideways, circling her, "It seems you're taking this fight with a more cautious step, that's good..."
"I'm not falling for the same trap," B RS told it, doing the same, "So you can bite it..!"
Geshumaru's robot dashed forward and sliced with the knife, forcing B RS to step back before she dashed away, narrowly avoiding the cleaver of a sword from coming down on her head. Skidding against the floor, B RS pushed off and rushed towards the machine, her arm arched back as she slashed with her ax. The machine stepped back, but B RS delivered a kick to its chest, pushing it back about a meter as B RS started to close off the distance again. Before B RS could expect it, the machine lunged forward with the sword and stabbed through the right side of her waist before pushing the sword back. B RS jumped away as the wound started healing, the attack reminding her of when Gold Saw stabbed through her below her left breast.
"Quick to back away, I thought you want to end me?" The robot mused, hoisting the sword on its shoulder.
B RS grunted as she straightened out her body and let the black flame dance on her left eye, black mist forming the phantom blade as she twisted her body before slashing. A wave of black energy came towards Geshumaru's robot, ripping the floor apart as it neared towards the machine. The machine swung with its knife and it connected with the wave, forcing the machine back a bit as it tried to challenge the attack head on. The machine watch B RS rush towards it from the right, figuring that she could attack while it tried to hold back the wave. B RS slashed up as the machine side-stepped to the left, watching her take her own attack out of the hallway.
"Damn..." B RS mumbled as she looked forward, trying to find Geshumaru's partner.
She tried to scan the area, but it wasn't needed as the machine managed to get behind her, grab her coat and send her flying through the ceiling, breaking through and wounding up outside. B RS looked down and watched the robot break out from the floor below and jump towards her, trying to slash at her mid-air. B RS countered with her own slash and tried to hold it when she remembered the machine also had a knife in its arsenal. B RS pushed back and landed on top of a chain link that's connected from a hallway to a nearby tower. The robot landed on a nearby platform, kneeling before it pushed off and charged towards her at a neck-breaking speed, catching the girl off guard.
B RS tried to figure out how it would attack before she saw fire coursing through the sword, the robot slashing towards her as fire spread through the air horizontally. B RS couldn't avoid the blaze and tried to block it, but the blaze hit her and she flew back towards a nearby wall, slamming against it. The robot landed on a chain link before dashing again, slamming against B RS and pushing her inside the cylindrical tower. B RS slammed against the walkway as the robot grabbed some chains before dropping to a platform below, watching B RS get up. It had to admire her determination, it's the part that made the machine find her a power person to fight against, despite its goal.
B RS got back up on her feet at stared at the machine, "Come on..!"
"It's such a shame that you have to die, I would enjoy sparring with you," The machine mumbled before dropping towards the walkway.
The moment it landed, B RS rushed forward and started slashing away, letting her drive to fight carry her as she tried to figure out how to beat it. Their attacks connected against each other, causing sparks to form as B RS tried to push forward, her black flame burning brightly. The robot slashed and B RS parried the attack, but that left her open as the machine grabbed her and started to slam her all around, her body cracking the walkway before she got tossed out of the area. B RS wounded up in the hallway again and got up slowly, trying to head outside towards the fountain, trying to cover as much distance before the machine comes back for her. She almost reached the end of the hallway before the machine walked out past the broken doorway, blue smoke coming out from its mouthpiece.
"I suppose you're reaching you limit, just like before," The robot stated as it walked along the hallway, the sword dragging along the floor.
B RS turned around and walked backwards, towards the fountain, "I still got some strength left, I like to see you beat it out of me..."
"You still manage to talk while you're falling again," The robot said, tilting its head to one side, "What can a fallen other self like you can do, you have nothing left?"
"If I'm still alive, I can still fight, simple as that," B RS told the machine.
"I see..." Geshumaru's robot said.
Before B RS could react, she got elbowed in the gut, sending her toppling over the fountain and lying on the water-bed, the robot closing the distance between them. B RS felt like passing out, if it was something that other selves could do, just so she couldn't feel the pain. Closing her eyes as the machine neared, she looked around her mind-scape before realizing it was completely flooded, her body levitating in the water. She watch someone near her, and this time she couldn't call it her reflection because she was sure the person before her is her, her past self. Her past self's eyes shined in the water while hers were dull, and she could feel those glowing eyes burning holes in her head as she waited for the moment to occur.
[How sad, you'll let all that come to an end, after what Mato did for you..?]
"What can I do, I'm at my end," B RS said, looking away from her past self.
[I hate you, but Mato can't suffer, Geshumaru is trying to attack her...]
"What..?" B RS looked back as her past self grabbed her shoulders.
[I do not care for you, but I can't help Mato, so you must help her...]
"How, don't you get it, I got nothing that can beat that thing," B RS shouted, her black eyes glowing fiercely, "It can kill me without hesitation and it knows how to counter my attacks, it's impossible to win!"
[Then I suppose recollecting those memories meant nothing to you in the end if you can't even use them...]
B RS's eyes widened when she watch her past self disappear, the feeling of realization storming though her head as she started clicking the memories together. They did mean something: her identity, but it's an identity she use to have before she became an Anomaly. Even so, it was still her and that was the missing piece to herself. Flexing her hands, she quickly scanned through her memories, recollecting certain segments and the abilities she used to fight, the skills that she used before she got killed. She didn't want it anything to come from just reflex, she wanted it to appear before her, the power that she had and the sound of something clicking caused her to snap her eyes open and fire at Geshumaru's robot, blue eyes blazing.
Gah..!" The machine roared in pain as it backed away, watching B RS get up from the fountain with her Rock Cannon targeting it.
B RS stared at it before looking at her Rock Cannon, the mechanics behind the weapon opening up in her head, "Guess I'm getting the hang of things..."
"I haven't seen you use that recently, how did..?" Geshumaru's robot started before B RS fired more shots, forcing the machine back.
"I remember, simple as that," B RS told it as the Rock Cannon disappeared, her Black Blade forming, "I just needed a little reality check"
The robot stood up, patting the side of its waist as it leveled its sword, "I suppose caution is necessary for me now"
B RS dashed forward and slashed down, the attack blocked but forcing the robot into the flooring, surprising the machine with her raw strength. She pushed off and summoned her ax in her other hand, twirling them between her fingers before she attacked again, forcing the robot to deal with what she had to. The machine backed away as B RS's attacks became more devastating, the sword the robot was using cracked each time it blocked an attack. She kept going before she brought both her Black Blade and ax down, breaking the sword in half before she brought out her Rock Cannon, blasting a hole on the left side of the machine's chest. The machine toppled over and fell to the floor on its back, the ability to fight gone after B RS's complete onslaught.
The machine looked at B RS as she stood on top of it, her Rock Cannon aimed for its head, "Well... finish it..."
B RS looked down at it with her blue eyes before the Rock Cannon disappeared, "Tell me how I can fight against Geshumaru..."
"What, are you insane," The machine wondered, "There was a chance to kill me, and you rather trade-off that chance just to fight against Geshumaru?"
"Mato is in danger, and I have to stop her," B RS said, frowning, "Whatever happened to Naomi, I'm sorry, but she can't do this, someone has to stop her..!"
The machine stared at her for a moment before chuckling, "An enemy asking the opponent they beat about a way to save the person they care about, how twisted..."
B RS frowned as Geshumaru's robot continued, "You have to force the boundaries between you and Mato and force your existence into the real world, it's not easy, but with certain circumstances, the gateway could be open for you two"
"I can exist in the real world?" B RS inquired.
"Using her body as a medium, yes," The robot explained, "But note that any damage you sustain, she will have; Geshumaru knows that as she has Naomi's body"
B RS nodded and turned around, towards the fountain, "Thanks, for everything, both of you..."
The machine watched B RS run through the hallway and out as she passed the fountain and jumped off the platform, turning its head slowly towards its guest, "I suppose you're proud of yourself, Dragon Slayer..?"
"Yes, but that's besides the point," Dragon Slayer said, offering a hand, "Care for a tune up, old friend?"
The robot took the hand and Dragon Slayer lifted it off the floor, guiding it away from the battlefield.
As B RS jumped off the platform, she closed her eyes and tried to focus on her existence before she faded away from the Otherworld and wound up in a swirling black-and-blue torrent, trying to move her body against the current. B RS noticed a light on the other end and moved towards it, using her power to push against the current and move closer. Her blue eyes touched the light and she felt herself standing on air, blue-tinted clouds circling around her as B RS stood on the open air. She could hear voices, but they were faint, so she moved through the area so the voices could be more audible. She could hear Mato's voice as she tried to dissuade Geshumaru, along with everyone else voicing their cry.
"Mato, can you hear me..?" B RS shouted, an answer not coming for a moment.
[Rock, wh-what are you... where..?]
"Don't worry about that, listen, I need to use your body," B RS told her, "It's the only way I can stop Geshumaru..!"
[Eh, but that's...]
"Mato, there's no time to talk about it, open your mind and let me break through!" B RS shouted, silencing Mato for a moment.
[... Okay, do it..!]
B RS muttered a thank you before she closed her eyes and tried to take over Mato's body, feeling everything around her as B RS tried to break through. On the outside, Geshumaru twirled the katana in her fingers before gripping it, everyone watching in silence in horror as they watch Geshumaru thrust forward. However, Geshumaru watch Mato force herself off the tree as she watch cracks form around her, her bindings breaking along with something she couldn't make sense of. Before she could stop herself, Mato broke through and punched Geshumaru, sending her a few meters away as transparent blue shards appear around Mato's body. Everyone watched Mato disappear as B RS appeared, landing on the ground with a soft thud as the blue shards disappeared.
Geshumaru got up and looked at B RS, who stood up and dusted herself off, "You can't..."
[Whoa, where am I..?]
B RS stretched out her body as she looked at the forest around, marveling at the real world, "We switched places, so that's what her robot was talking about"
Geshumaru got up and brushed her hair away from her eyes, "How the hell did you get here?!"
"Your partner told me, at least he knows the difference between right and wrong," B RS said, frowning.
"You, what did you do to him..?" Geshumaru inquired.
"I beat him, got to say, he almost had his way with me," B RS said, walking up to Geshumaru, "But let me tell you this, when you want someone dead, do it yourself, it's cowardly for someone to send someone else to do the work"
Geshumaru growled, "Screw you..!"
"Maybe if you were more focused, you would understand that I didn't have anything to do with Naomi's death," B RS told her.
Geshumaru's eyes widened as she rushed towards B RS, trying to slash at her as the white-haired girl avoided the attacks, summoning her ax out. She blocked the next slash and followed it up with a roundhouse kick to the back of Geshumaru's head, sending her away. The bindings disappeared and everyone sans B RS dropped to the ground, their bodies slightly aching. B RS rushed towards them and examined the damage, noting that they weren't injured, but quite sore. B RS felt a wave of energy coming from the trees and got to Saya, telling her to take everyone out as Geshumaru dashed towards B RS, her slash blocked by B RS taking a nearby tree branch and blocking it.
B RS looked at Saya, "Go, leave, I'll find you later!"
Saya took Yomi, Yuu, and Kagari away from the fight, sparing a side glance at B RS, wondering how she managed to get into the real world with her real body. As the others got away, B RS backed away and twirled the ax in her hand, watching Geshumaru glare at her in pure anger and disgust. Geshumaru dashed toward her and they clashed blades, their eyes glowing as they attacked each other before backing away, both of them catching their breath for a second. Geshumaru noticed B RS's eyes were blue instead of their black, and she felt paranoia swarm through her body, thoughts that she tried to block out coming through. B RS took advantage and charged towards her, slashing at Geshumaru who snapped back to reality and blocked it.
"Listen, I'm sorry that Naomi is dead because of the Spirit Eater's actions, but you can't take that out of me," B RS told her, cause Geshumaru to grit her teeth in anger.
Geshumaru growled, "You have no right to say her name!"
Geshumaru pushed off before kicking B RS in the gut, sending her flying through the trees into a clearing, her anger growing by the second. As Geshumaru passed through the trees and into the clearing, she avoided a shot from the Rock Cannon, surprising the young Anomaly as she looked at B RS. B RS was struggling a bit to keep the Rock Cannon leveled, using her right arm to support it as she tried to understand why it was heavy. Using her ax hadn't been much of a problem, but then again, Geshumaru has blocked each attack with one of her own. She couldn't help but wonder what could be wrong and why she couldn't use it like she could in the real world.
"Ha, it seems your precious weapon of mass destruction has a fault in the real world," Geshumaru smirked, knowing how complicated the Rock Cannon's usage in the real world is, "Physics here are different from the Otherworld, which makes this my win..!"
Geshumaru rushed towards B RS, who moved her Rock Cannon and fired it a few times, causing explosions and fires to form around the forest. Frowning, B RS turned her hand in the Rock Cannon, which caused its gatling gun mode to active, its supports implanting themselves to the ground. Geshumaru's eyes widened as B RS started firing, bullets flying towards her as she tried to avoid or parry them, shells dropping to the ground as B RS tried to lock on Geshumaru. B RS stopped firing as the Rock Cannon overloaded, causing the mechanism to jam for a moment, which allowed Geshumaru to surround her katana in blue flames. Geshumaru took a couple of steps forward before she slashed up, causing a blue wave to rush towards B RS.
The forest was burning down, their attacks causing extensive damage to the area as Geshumaru rushed through, trying to find B RS within the fire. Geshumaru noticed something on the ground and rushed towards it, noting that it was B RS's jacket. Geshumaru turned around and blocked the slash from B RS, their fires alight in their eyes. They traded blows, their swords clashing as they heard the faint sounds of helicopters heading their way. B RS backed away and exhaled, watching Geshumaru grunting in dissatisfaction as She charged up another wave, ready to slash at the air. B RS frowned and let the Black Blade disappear, forming the Rock Cannon again as she charged up her attack, feeling the heaviness of the cannon.
Geshumaru roared and jumped up into the air, which caused B RS to frown, "Bad move..."
Before Geshumaru could slash, B RS aimed up and fired, shooting Geshumaru out of the sky and sending her towards the trees as her helicopters were faintly visible. Frowning, B RS let the Rock Cannon disappear and she rushed towards her jacket before heading into the forest, trying to find Geshumaru. She scanned through the forest quickly, trying to find her as, despite her trying to harm Mato and her, Geshumaru couldn't be left there. B RS stopped as she found Geshumaru lying on the ground, her left arm bleeding slightly as she rest, unconscious. B RS walked up to her and bent down, hoisting the girl on her left shoulder and dashing out of the forest as the fire grew and the helicopters arrive.
"Mato, where does Saya live?" B RS asked as she burst through the forest and reached the stairs.
[I can give you directions, first, head towards the train station...]
B RS nodded as she jumped to a building's rooftop and started dashing towards the train station, telling Mato to lead her the way back home.
Author's Note: Three fights in this chapter, three freaking fights and I feel proud of myself. I know this was going to be a fight oriented chapter because we're reaching the big climax. Will the climax occur, yes, but not just yet. You all got to wait, my little reading rabbits. Please review and I'll see you all later.
