Justice Versus War

Enma smiled as he finally felt Emilio tap on his shoulder and wake him up. Emilio was ready once again. He had finally caught his breath and was ready to start the mad destruction of the Evil Humans once again. Enma smiled and stood up. Emilio grasped onto Enma and Enma's body bunched up into a tight ball and then a long stick stuck out from it forming a hammer. Emilio felt the hammer once more.

Despite its bulky body it felt as light as a feather. One the benefits that one of the Death's Weapons have over regular weapons. Of course, since Enma was a Death Scythe the benefit seemed even larger and Emilio thought for a brief second he was lighter. He let out one of his tongueless chuckles.

"Pay attention!" commanded Enma. Emilio had a similar outlook as him. Their hatred for all things evil certainly seemed to supply them with superhuman drive, but it also led to them getting carried away and with Emilio's poor breathing abilities it was important that they didn't. "Remember fifteen minutes is our maximum do not exceed the maximum!"

Emilio sighed and rolled his head to the side. He felt like he was child being scolded, but nonetheless it was sound advice whether you were a child, an adult, or Lord Death. He nodded slowly as he took another deep breath and closed his eyes. Emilio's eyes shot open as he scanned the area for Souls. He frowned just like before Vigrid's disastrous blood-soaked soul coated the entire area leaving his soul perception dried up and useless.

Emilio began to take a step forward and down towards the base when he felt it. A brief blip changed and his Soul Wavelength seemed bent for a split second. Emilio was about to pay it no heed and say it was just a slight miss-perception that came from only recently recovering, but he froze as he realized that it never happened before. Something had definitely happened, he paused as he tried to figure it out. It took a couple seconds to register the only thing that could've caused it. Emilio swung around, swinging his large hammer around and at whatever was standing behind him. What was standing behind him was Vigrid.

"Look what I found. I thought I had sensed the feeling of a Death Scythe on the outside," said Vigrid as he smiled. He had used his large blade to block the hammer blow and he pushed it aside and took another step back to distance them a little bit more. "I thought you had already waged an attack on my base, but by the time I finally decided to do something about it you withdrew. I wondered what happened and why they decided to withdraw after only fifteen minutes of fighting...I thought it may just be because that's all you came here for...a brief weakening of my forces, but no...Lord Death isn't so cheap."

"Emilio!" shouted Enma, "we can't hold back! Fifteen minutes remember, for those fifteen minutes let's go full blast!" Emilio grunted in agreement. "SOUL RESONANCE!" shouted Enma with Emilio grunting along. For a brief moment they both began to glow. "Before I continue I should explain a little something about my unique Soul Resonance."

Vigrid felt a little annoyed that they had interrupted his banter and his verbal assault on their cowardice, but he decided it wasn't enough and shrugged. "Go ahead," he said, actually a little eager for this fight. Another good warm-up for his fight with Lord Death.

Emilio held Enma straight up into the air as Enma resumed talking, "First off, I should explain it that I am a messenger of a unique brand of justice. I'm also the judge, jury, and executioner of said form of justice. To start with I pass a series of laws that must be met..."

"And if I decline to meet these laws, what happens?" asked Vigrid with a mocking tone in his voice. "Do I go to jail?"

"Hmm...I guess I wasn't clear. These 'laws' I pass don't just mean you have to meet them during this fight, but throughout your entire life," said Enma. Vigrid felt his neck prick up at the words. He felt a little bit more interested and decided that mocking him was disrespectful so he kept his mouth shut. "The first law I ever passed was to disobey Lord Death's wishes...you have been found guilty on sixteen separate accounts!" Vigrid chuckled for a moment, before he noticed a change in the large hammer Emilio was holding. It had grew.

Vigrid paused as he looked at it. "It seems you noticed the consequence of disobeying my laws," said Enma as his reflection in the hammer smiled at Vigrid. "I'll admit that sixteen accounts isn't that big of deal especially considering your long life, but nonetheless the diameter of my hammer grew sixteen inches. Emilio nodded. "That's the first law, though, I still have two laws remaining. The second law is thievery, which lucky you...you are found guilty of on zero accounts." Vigrid chuckled as the hammer remained its current size, making it no more dangerous then a regular weapon.

"The third and final law is inflicting harm to any other innocent living being!" said Enma. Vigrid paused for awhile. He had been partaking in war for over 5000 years, of course blood had been shed and it was difficult to say how many of those brutish lives had been slightly innocent. He paused as Enma continued, "you are found guilt on 7,343 accounts!" Vigrid paused for a second as he looked over at the weapon that Emilio held. It grew.

The sixteen inches it had gained from Vigrid's disregard for Lord Death's authority didn't seem to matter anymore as the hammer inflated even more. The sixteen accounts for ignoring Lord Death's orders had made it grow sixteen inches. The 7,343 accounts of killing should have made it grow 7,343 inches, but Emilio and Enma restricted it. That size would've been overkill. Vigrid's blade was originally probably the largest weapon on earth being over seven feet long, but it paled in comparison to the weapon Emilio wielded. A hammer that spanned over 20 feet in diameter.

With one almighty swing Emilio brought the humungous weapon down directly at Vigrid. Vigrid brought his weapon up and held it up above his head. He felt the force of the hammer swing down and into the sword. Vigrid was forced down and into the ground. He still felt the force as the weapon's increased size and weight made it that much tougher. Emilio lifted it back up with ease. Vigrid stood there for a few moments as he looked up at Emilio. Emilio smiled as he twisted his body around and sent the hammer swinging around horizontally at Vigrid.

Vigrid braced himself. He slammed the sword into the ground and used it to brace himself further. He buffed up his body and made a quick movement with his hand, but none of that proved helpful as he was still blown back from the insane weapon's strength. Emilio chuckled. "Nice job," said Enma as his reflection looked up at Vigrid, "you shot a madness wavelength at the point of impact. You slammed the top of the mallet and not only cut the momentum, but also screwed up my hit point so instead of hitting you dead center the mallet was tilted."

Vigrid smiled. "Here I thought the only person worth my time would be Lor...no, not Lord Death," said Vigrid as he shook his head. "Just Death." He turned his head back to the base as he sensed another slight disturbance, but he shook his head and ignored it. His plan had hit a major turning point. One Death Scythe was locked up and in a few moments, a second Death Scythe would be defeated here leaving Death City in very terrible care. He'd finish this fight quickly and be on his way to launch a one-man siege on the DWMA.

Vigrid lifted his sword up into the air and gathered energy to the tip. He brought it down with all of his strength. The blade buried itself into the ground, gouging out the desert leaving a new valley in the ground, except for one spot that was blocked due to the large hammer. Emilio drew the hammer back and waited for Enma's response. Enma coughed and shook his head, "I'm good. No more need to hold back...just go Emilio. Even if we accomplish nothing else, we'll shatter his sword!"

Emilio charged flying up into the air. He swung the hammer upwards and into the air. Vigrid twisted his body and blocked the upwards smash with his sword. Vigrid was knocked upwards and into the air. When he opened his eyes and recovered from the smash, he noticed that Emilio was already on level ground with him. Emilio brought the hammer straight back down on top of Vigrid.

Vigrid felt something as the lights all around him disappeared into thick blackness. He felt actually kind of excited. He swung his blade upwards and into the hammer. He didn't have the power to knock it aside, but nonetheless he didn't manage to slow it down and make the swing nothing too extreme. Vigrid landed once more on the ground as he looked up at Emilio and Enma, already barreling towards him. If nothing else, their weapon had an extreme size and so it had a naturally huge offensive power as well. Vigrid had always prized himself on his own strength...it looks like this was an excellent test.

"That weapon is extremely annoying," said Vigrid as he took another step forward. "You mentioned that you wanted to destroy my weapon..." Vigrid lifted his sword up and into the air. "Well, I think if you have such an extreme desire to do so, you should at least know how it was forged. I think even you would know of the name, Hiroshima?"

Enma chuckled. "Hiroshima? You're kidding right? There's very few people on this world who don't know that place. Its the place that truly shows humans at their all time worse. Its the place where the Nuclear Bomb was dropped. It decimated the entire civilization." Enma didn't mind taking a couple of minutes to sit around and talk. Emilio was already starting to put on unnecessary strains from the assault on Vigrid and wading through his Madness Wavelength probably took a lot more considerable strength then destroying the entire Evil Human base. Emilio sighed his response.

"Exactly the entire land was devastated, all things resembling life was destroyed...all of it gone in the two seconds it would take to say 'I'm sorry'," Vigrid said with a depressed laugh. "That's where this sword came from. When that bomb went all the minerals in the ground were turned to liquids...days later when they hardened, they hardened into basically a chunk of super-weapon ore. I'm sure you heard about how 'strong fire forges strong weapons' or something along those lines, well what fire is stronger then that of a nuclear bomb?"

"If that's the case then I'm afraid that weapon does you a fat lot of good," stated Enma as his reflection glared down at Vigrid. "That weapon of yours was forged in an instant of destruction...Well, I've grown up in that same world. I'm sorry, but your weapon was forged in the two seconds it took to say 'I'm sorry'...I grew up and I was 'forged' in 30 years in that same destruction! I think that means that as far as weapons go, we've got the upper-hand."

Vigrid chuckled. "I'm still amazed at the simple stupidity of humans. This weapon was made by the greatest weapon you humans have ever made. That weapon that you designed to end all weapons, will lead to the end of all humanity and it starts with me cutting you down."

Okay, 7,343 (no significance to the number) inches comes out to be about 611 feet. One story tall buildings are generally said to be about 10 feet (I think) so Enma's hammer should have grown to be equal to a 61 story tall building...yeah...not happening. I had to limit it, I figured a 2 story tall hammer wasn't that big of a deal this is a manga after all.

I am going back to school soon so I will be slowing down my postings...I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you, but remember I write a lot of chapters and keeping up with three chapters a week, 6 hour school days, and (hopefully) a job will be difficult. So, expect my updates to slow back down to once every two weeks.
