Chapter 16
"This is still annoying…" Zetsu said out of breathe from all the attacks he unleashed.
"Jeez no wonder you 2 were defeated. These things have no end to them and are violent." Becky complained.
"We should be fine. Just don't get separated too far or we'll be easy targets." Aaron explained.
"Here I'll put up a campfire while we have the chance to rest." Ray offered.
"Thanks Ray." Everyone complimented.
"I just need a few more drops from the flower thingy." Becky announced.
"Here I have some extras." Aaron said.
The 4 started to trade items for their quest. And soon after they were ready for the temp that was ahead for them.
"Well it nice meeting you guys. But we should get going. Hope we end up on the same team." Ray said.
"Alright cya" Aaron and Zetsu said as they parted ways.
"Time for the temp. It won't be easy." Aaron said in a worried tone. "WE GOT THIS!" Zetsu shouted in encouraging tone. "That helps. But I don't know how. Hahaha." Aaron said.
"We won't die from this anyways!" Zetsu said.
"Roy we're ready! START!" As both shouted in confidence.
A sudden roar was heard from afar. a sudden rush came towards the 2 just grazing them.
The 2 quickly jumped back in battle stance form.
"This thing is fast." Zetsu said
"CHARGE SHOT!" Aaron shot a shot straight for the beast but the beast was also holding in a charged water blast strike. The huge blast tore through the glowing bullet and straight for Aaron. The ranger dodged out the way just in time and fumbled to the ground. The beast without hesitation charged for Zetsu next. "KILL DRIVE!" Zetsu and the beast struck each other with immense speed. Suddenly Zetsu feel on the floor but still managed to wound the seemingly unstoppable Forneus. "WIDE FANG!" Aaron sent out a wave of striding bullets to weaken the foe. The shark spun once. "Now is the time. BLOW CHAIN." Knowing the boss's speed Aaron quickly used his push back to keep his distance. "CHARGE SHOT!" Aaron sent another bullet at the beast. "Rumble Vain! It'll take more than 1 hit to beat me!" Zetsu shouted.
ROOOAAARR the beast then went upwards in the sky and came down. The 2 fighters confused on what happened put their guard up but it was too late as lightning struck both Zetsu and Aaron. Aaron feel on the watery plains after being hit with 2 direct signature attacks. "No… I won't fall yet." Zetsu with all he got went back in. "HAWK STRIKE!" Zetsu came down for a slash and hit the beast but the beast then summoned the water ball and hit the landing Zetsu straight back to a hill knocking him unconscious.
"I think the boss is malfunctioning. It's strength is stronger than usual. And we can't stop it! We have to help them! They'll die at this rate!" Roy shouted but not knowing how to stop or enter the place.
"Multi Shot…" Aaron said as he fired rapid rounds of bullets which made the boss stutter and charge once again at Aaron. With all he had left Aaron dodged just enough to avoid serious damage but the force the boss created sent him back on the ground.
"Wait. I have these." Aaron then remembered and right before the boss went to strike Aaron countered. "Fall burst." Aaron hit with full strength. "ZETSU USE THE POTIONS RIC AND LUX GAVE US!" Aaron shouted. Zetsu then drank his potion to gain his strength back. "I'm still tired though…" Zetsu said. "Use the blue ones. They help." Aaron said. "Ok. Now let's get revenge." As Zetsu came with a quick slash, "Kill Drive!" Aaron quickly followed up with a glowing bullet which hit the boss hard. The boss stuttered back once again but this time dove down in the watery field. The 2 put their guards up to then suddenly see the boss come back up but at a high speed towards Aaron. "KILL DRIVE!" Zetsu slashed the boss but the same result happened as before and left Zetsu on the floor. "NOT YET! RUMBLE VAIN! I'LL FIGHT THROUGH THE PAIN!" Zetsu roared at the boss and started to slash the boss non stop at high speed. "MULTI SHOT!" Aaron came but the boss rose up and summoned lightning. "DODGE ZETSU!" Aaron yelled but it was to late the lightning came down. But as lightning came down it focused upon Aaron and his dodge only delayed the attack which hit directly upon Aaron. But the boss fell back with a wound on the side of it. All the slashes gave Aaron the chance to shoot it there and do massive damage. The 2 fighter drank another round of potions. "These things are handy but relying on them is bad for us. We won't get stronger. But we have no choice now. Next time though, I won't." Zetsu admitted. The beast came straight for the 2 and unleashed a water ball that came straight for Zetsu. "BLOW CHAIN!" Aaron unleashed explosives towards the ball of water from the side giving the ball a new direction and just missed Zetsu, who then disappeared and appeared on the opposite side of the boss. The boss roaring in agony came straight for Zetsu and hit him directly in the stomach and did massive damage and sent him flying to the ground once more. The beast then summoned a water blast at Aaron who sent his final charge shot. "CHARGE SHOT! THIS IS OUR FINAL ATTACK! ALL OR NOTHING!" Aaron shouted. The 2 blasts grazed each other and the blast was slightly redirected but not enough to miss Aaron. He knew he couldn't dodge the coming attack so he with all he had shot rounds of bullets along with Charged Shot. The water blast then hit the whole left side exactly where Ketsin had shot his arrow at him. The painful memories and feeling from the blast knocked Aaron out with Zetsu. The boss gave a final roar as the charged bullet came and hit it. The boss was in pain and up until a stray bullet from Aaron hit the inside of the boss's wound that gave a critical shot that gave a deadly attack. The boss fell with the last of its strength gone and died. The fight was over but both Zetsu and Aaron was on the ground unconscious.
"They did it…" Roy said in shock.
"Yea I was actually nervous for them." Kururu admitted but still knowing that Ric and Lux knew something bad would happen and the 2 students would use the given potions.
"Quickly Kururu we need to help them!" Roy shouted
"Yea I'm on it." Kururu rushed to help the boys.
"We need to fix the system." Roy said.
So Roy left Zetsu and Aaron in the hands of Kururu who took them back to Revere to recover. "They did well in there." Yuuki said.
"Yea they did." Ric and Lux sure did well to teaching them.
The floor was cleared and when Zetsu and Aaron woke up they would go and become soldiers in the World VS World. And fight their rivals once more…
