Storywriter2003: Thanks!
Dante Watterson: Thank you
Guest: Wow I didn't think anyone would get this excited over this story. That this would be one of those things that only kept you half interested, and that you only read because you're bored. Thank you!
Junior VB: HELL YEAH THEY ARE!

Chapter 20: The devil's number
The mutated gems started to close the gap between them and the six warriors.
"This is insane! We can't take on this many!" Sour screamed in panic.
"We have to try! We have the strength, we have the responsibility! If we die then fine, we'll take out as many as we can!" Sadie commanded as her caine started to manifest itself and roll off of her like steam. However Lars' wasn't doing as well; he had his mind on other things.
"Sadie, if we don't make it out of this alive I just want you to know-"Lars was cut off as his girlfriend grabbed him by the collar out brought their lips together in a tender kiss.
"I love you too," Sadie whispered as she pulled away and gripped her spear tighter in her hands. She looked over to see Jenny and sour sharing the same sentiments, and then to Ronaldo who was undoubtedly trying to read the command given to the nightmare creature he codenamed Beelzebub.
"There are exactly six hundred and sixty-six force fusions in the mob!" Ron stated as Lars climbed onto the roof of the black van to use as a vantage point. "They have all been put under the temporary command of Beelzebub! Beelzebub's orders are to fight their way to beach city, and attack the temple, but if they see any of us we take top priority! You hear that, so long as we're alive they're not going anywhere!" Ron finished.
"Then let's give them a fight they'll never forget!" Sadie shouted as she charged to the wall of shambling monsters, the others following suit. Lars struck the first blow. He Ron and Sour had rigged up arrows that would explode like claymores in case they were ever necessary. He loaded one after the other light each fuse with his electricity and then firing into the middle of the crowd as to prevent friendly fire. Sadie had just dispatched her first force fusion when her attention was drawn by seven explosions each one subsequent to each other and in a straight line. Each explosion must've taken out ten of the clumped together monsters. She looked back to her boyfriend, who shot her a thumbs up which she returned. Turning her attention back to the fight wound her arms back and let them go in a deadly thrust, pricing right through the force fusion in front of her. The thrusts kept coming; hard and fast as if they were coming out of the barrels of a mini-gun. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 none of her opponents could rival her skill or strength. She felt a breeze on her back as if an enemy had begun to strike; she whipped around ready to dispatch it, but instead found that Buck had blocked the deformed arm for her. He looked back and slashed her smile before slicing the gem in half before moving on. Chopping through the ranks of the just barley living he soon found him encircled by twelve of the, each one with its own horrific form. He raised his axe and swung down with all of his might spider web cracks in the earth sprung his blade followed by the eerie red light. As the gems walked on a blast of magma erupted in a solid ring, destroying each of them in an inferno. He stood there for a moment to catch his breath; his tectonic blasts took a lot out of him. To his extreme surprise he was tackled to the ground in a matter of seconds. He felt a rush of fear wash over him as the mutant gems shook off his attempts to dispatch them, and continuously landed strikes to his ribs and stomach. He couldn't even tell how many of them there were as the seemingly endless arms rained down on him. Buck's salvation came in the form of a chain wielding dark skinned girl who had whipped all four of them off with one force sweep. Sitting up Buck looked to Jenny as he tried to get his breathing under control.
"Thanks…I owe you," He said as he jumped to his feet and readied his weapon to keep history from repeating itself.
"Don't worry about it," Jenny chimed as she force swept an incoming mutant in half vertically. Letting the long spikes spring from the steel links, she flung the chain into one force fusion. The spikes dug into the synthetic flesh which caused even more damage when Jenny ripped them out destroying its form. Without pausing for a second she flung the chain behind her repeating the process on a second mutant. She smiled widely a Sour sprinted passed her as a multi colored blur leaving only a rush of wind behind. Sour ran forward and leapt as high as he could into the air, which was pretty high thanks to his training with Pearl. Focusing a decent amount of caine into his right hand as he began to fall; he prepared himself, waiting until the exact moment he hit the ground.
"Drop the base!" He shouted as his fist slammed into the ground, releasing a wave of pure base. The unrealistically low hertz was too much for the unprotected force fusions to take, and every gem within a ten foot radius shook before they disappeared into a ring of smoke. Sour acted fast as his personal space was quickly being filled by the force fusions. Reaching behind him he took out the two bombs he kept hooked to his belt while was on shift. "Why don't you try this on for size!" Sour yelled as he lit them with his zippo, and tossed both of them in opposite directions just as he was forced to continue fighting for his life. He gripped the short blade in his fingers and swung it as fast as he could to break out of the mob that would undoubtedly eventually get the better of him. He swung three times, dispatching three gems before the bombs went off on both sides of him. They were far enough away not to be caught in the blast, but the shockwave still through the shambling monsters off balance, which the young DJ took advantage of to jump away. Ron watched as the pale blonde soared over his head, taking a hit to his back as a reward. He stumbled forward into another enemy which struck him across the face, sending him to the ground. The camo clad theorist watched as five or more monsters started to surround him. As if on instinct he pulled the colt python from the holster on his hip, unloading a bullet each into the center mass of each force fusion, for lack of a more obvious vital point. He got back to his feet and reloaded as he began to dual wield the gun and sword. Those QCQ lessons on YouTube were finally about to pay off. He slashed at one then turned around to shoot another one. This effective rhythm continued until he heard something rather disturbing. Having slain the force fusions closest to him he himself frees to look around to where he had heard the primal thoughts. He froze as his eyes landed on Beelzebub, who stared back into his eyes. Its mouth cracked open slightly letting out a stream of red smoke. Its skin became decorated by red glowing symbols that wrapped around its body. Its solid red eyes became broken by white pupils that pierced through Ron's being as its entire presence began to shake violently. Ron felt his heartbeat quicken and a cold sweat start to form on his forehead.
This thing is like nothing we've ever faced before! No, that's not true. I've felt this way before. In fact it's as if I'm fighting Jersey Devil all over again. Ron's thoughts went wild. A beam of red energy shot from Beelzebub's black maw with Ron in the crosshairs. The sword wielder rolled out of the way just in time to avoid the destructive force. He looked back at the crater left by the beam and then back to the evil being that had shot at him. He had a very bad feeling about all of this.
To Be Continued!
