Hello gamers, this is your one and only Big Red reporting with a new chapter. Here are a few details. Due to me playing Streets of Rage 4 and enjoying it alot, I finally decided to change the name of the city to its canon name Wood Oak City. I was hesitant on using the name at first since the name felt last minute late in Streets of Rage 3, but when 4 settles on it now was a good time to change the older Streets of Rage chapters to match it. Feel free to check them out yourself. And because the events of this story happens a short while after Streets of Rage 3, do not expect any massive SOR4 references at all since it happened quite a while after that (look at Axel's beard). Plus it would honestly feel strange to tack on Mr and Ms Y as their massive motivation for SOR4 was Mr. X's death after all. But my rambling aside, lets see how Death Adder is doing with a surprisingly welcome back to his fellow allies.
The situation at Speed Highway would be darker than before now that more help arrived in the form of a revived army beyond what the Legion had seen before. So many familiar faces that the villains thought they had lost that are back and stronger than ever. Max D Cap could only have one thing in mind, crushing Chuck next time he would meet his mummy nemesis. Aoi Satan is happy that he could live to see another day and had his eyes on getting revenge against the blue haired menace that killed him. The Magician silently floats, only thinking about seeing Varla once again for defying him back at the Curien Mansion. Dr. Curien is surprised about his revival, but only keeps going if it means another chance at world domination through the power of science. Dark Raven's power could only emanate from his massive drape, laughing in triumph at having a new chance at spreading endless nights in the world. Lan Di only remains silent and wished that he had stayed dead instead of being dragged into this group once again. The Syndicate is now back in full force with their crime lord leader in a new fresh coat of paint. His appearance is similar, but now with better enhancements thanks to the help of Curien's intellect and Aoi Satan's craftsmanship. This would make him twice as deadly and durable than before to cheat death for another day compared to his defeat in OutRun Bay.
"It feels good to breathe again. Now if only I can find those traitors and show them what happens to anyone that leaves the Syndicate," the crazed crime lord said.
"Curien, this is your last chance to redeem yourself. I would kill you where you stand, but Death Adder would rather you be spared since your brain is quite important for our next plan," the horned creature snarled.
The scientist shown absolutely no fear unlike the last time now that he's got his own power back and can put down his own creation if he get a single idea. Reala, Mishaela, and Grunty would descend from the high pillar to get a closer look at the army that awaits them. Rokkaku, Neff, and Greedy caught wind of this new development from a few feet away after they were chasing a few human spies off of their grounds. The defenseless men that failed their mission would use this opportunity to run while their three attackers were distracted.
"Now what? They made us let them G.U.N. cowards get away with their lives," the toy bear complained.
"It doesn't matter. Death Adder is somehow alive when we saw him die. That is what we all should be concerned with," Neff snorts.
"Hmm, very unusual. It also appears that some of our other dead allies are somehow living again. This must be the work of Death Adder if he knows some form of dark magic," the Tokyo-To major replied.
Soon a few other familiar villains would catch up to the three that observed this unusual sight. They were Marcus, Guan Yu, The Black Baron, Purge, and Father Balder who were wondering what were the intruders that came in full force.
"Our men should be attacking if these are more fools that are interfering with our plan. What is the meaning of this?" the warlord wondered.
Balder would use his Right Eye to examine these beings, seeing if there are any abnormalities with them.
"I am reading a lot of darkness from their hearts. They are not civilians or the spies we were chasing off earlier," the Lumen Sage replied.
"Want me to alert my best Ninteldo soldiers to show them no mercy? I am ready when you are," the mustachioed general asked.
"Hold up, Chef Boyardee lookin ass. These pain purveyors ring bells bigger than a gong. I remember that Lan Di punk from the time my girl killed her," the baron interrupts.
Purge would adjust his groovy shades until a particular sight alarmed him.
"How the hell is Death Adder alive? We seen him get killed by that green short elf and he's walking in our direction," he panics.
"I also see that black birdbrain is somehow still alive after his ass was murdered in Morning Land. What the hell is going on?" the Baron wondered.
"Is there a party happening. I wonder if they all brought delicious food for us to eat," a female voice uttered.
"Why are you thinking about food at a time like this. This is not…"
Purge turned to see a pink haired warrior standing right next to him, that caused him to freak out. She would be an unusual sight as someone that wore a red coat with with fur trims and yellow gloves similar to King Dedede. However she would also have traits of Kirby in her with large pink cheek blush marks and what appears to be a symbol shaped like Kirby's face and red shoes on her forehead. Her weapon of choice would be a large brown mallet akin to the one Hammer Kirby would normally use. Her stomach grows in the middle of this serious scene to express her own dissatisfied hunger.
"Who the hell are you?" everyone besides Balder and Marcus yells.
The latter would only laughed due to knowing this woman well.
"Ah Carvai, it is great to see you are still in great spirits. Are Zerig, Foster, and Fare still patrolling this area?" Marcus asked.
Carvai would focus less on her empty stomach and more to answering her general's orders and posed like a star.
"Yes they are. Fare and Zerig rounded up more naughty civilians to be perfect prisoners. Staroid, Masa, and Pirika went with your brother Gruiji to destroy more bases in the area. I just wish that there is a snack or something that I can eat. I'm hungry," the female warrior replied.
Marcus once again gives a hearty laugh at the status of his fellow Ninteldo soldier's progress.
"Great going. You just may get all the food you desire when we take over our next base. In due time, you will never go hungry again, Carvai," the general joyfully responded.
"Great, we have an annoying hungry girl on our side. Last time I checked, this is supposed to be a club for serious villains and not harmless girls," Purge complains.
He would soon be smacked on the head by a large wooden mallet, one from the same girl that he knowingly insults. The Baron and Neff watched as the leader of the Rhythm Rogues collapses and now lay in a defeated matter with his butt standing into the air. A massive bump grew where his wild white hair would be just to show the severity of the damage he had received.
"Harmless? I am one of the top Ninteldo commanders of this army and born from the HAL Labs. Not even you are worth the absorption, weakling," the pink haired girl yelled.
A blonde warrior would appear next to her with a crazed expression and his fabled sword ready to strike.
"Are these fools giving you trouble? I will make sure more than their puzzle is solved," the ponytailed mercenary threatened.
The Baron would ignite his fists as if he's begging for a brawl with this crazy weirdo.
"The only one in trouble is you for your accusation. So stop starin," the belligerent pimp says with his DEATHWATCH grills baring.
The pink haired girl eventually beats her gloved hands on the warrior's chest as if she were a childhood friend beating her crush.
"Zerig, you are the one being mean. It was only one guy giving me trouble, the others are innocent!" she cried.
Upon her request, the infamous Ninteldo commander puts his own sword away while sporting an unexpected scowl from taking his ally's light beating.
"Fine, but don't cry to me when these punks bully you again. Who do you think saved you from the HAL Labs years ago? Or even invited you to join the Ninteldo Army to begin with?" he replies with a tone of disappointment.
The scene would give Balder a slight chuckle, something that neither of his allies would expect from a usually serious and powerful man.
"These are your warriors, Marcus? Not to be a critic, but they don't seem like warriors to me. But mere entertainers," Guan Yu said in a frank manner.
Zerig would soon drop his peaceful side and whips out his blade once again before licking the smooth side of it. The idea of being called anything less of a warrior would always rile him up.
"How about we settle this like men? I've always wanted to carve a warrior and wear their armor as a personal trophy," Zerig said in sadistic glee.
"Zerig, what did I say about picking unnecessary fights? You've promised me that you wouldn't do this," Carvai cried.
The blonde fighter ignores her requests and would glue his psychotic eyes on the Chinese warlord before him as his next possible target. He serves as the tactician of the Ninteldo army and is uses his intelligence well in battle despite seeming like a crazed brute on the outside. His puzzle solving on top of his unpredictability would make him the second most dangerous Ninteldo fighter next to Marcus. The warlord would break out his famous spear once again in hopes of piercing the frail body of his less armored target.
"That is enough. Both of you. We have a bigger goal to focus. Investigating that group before us. There are many questions to be answered regarding how some of them escaped the clutches of death," the mustachioed general warned.
"As much as I hate to say it, Marcus is correct. As a powerful wizard myself who dealt with the dark arts, I wonder what work Death Adder had done reviving most of our fallen comrades," Neff stated.
He along with the Baron and Balder would begin leaving the small group behind to begin their investigation. Marcus soon follows and gestures his two cohorts to follow closely as ambassadors of his only kingdom. Guan Yu sighs deeply and outs the massive pole arm away to keep up with his allies.
That fool with the ponytail, he is lucky that he is spared of my wrath. The next time, he will not be close to lucky.
Death Adder had finished telling the entire story and how he had followed the entire Legion to keep up with all fallen allies to revive them with his strongest of dark arts. The giant is boastful as always to prove why he is a great asset to the Legion and personally felt offended that some wouldn't take his first death serious. Regardless of how they felt as a group, the few Legion members that listened would be quite pleased with what they've heard from him.
"You mean this entire time you followed everyone and did not even think of helping defend the mothership? Why? You and your group would had helped out alot in keeping Sonic from escaping our clutches," Mishaela yelled.
"I would rather work in the shadows and approach all of you when you are together. Some members missed being with their crew as much as I did. Approaching the ships would had been a huge risk, I would be heavily aware of that brat's power and how troublesome his power would be when out of control. It seems you all were almost killed thanks to him and ran around like spineless Thieves," the king of giants boasts.
"It was luck that saved me from losing my magic. Although being sent flying from the group was tragic. The heroes kidnapped that boy for some reason. We can only hope his interactions wouldn't lead to treason," Grunty explains.
"Not to worry, Gruntilda. He still has a communicator that the Legion had given him. My first plan is to see how he's doing and perhaps order him to kill the heroes in their sleep. He is close enough and perhaps gaining their trust as planned. We got them right where we want them," Reala said.
"If he will do it. You forgotten that girl is still with him. It is not that I do not trust her as she is one of the Black Baron's top assassins, but she may be an obstacle. Love is a weakness when done for the wrong reasons. There seems to be a pattern here," the sorceress suggests.
"Indeed. This is why my favorite part is killing and destroying everything my enemies love. That is the ultimate suffering. Which does remind me of why I abandoned that Rowen Cardinal fool," Death Adder stated.
This would catch the ear of Reala to much o his curiosity.
"Rowen? Are we sure we are talking about the same man here? Why was it about him that was foolish?" the Nightmaren asked.
The only thing that came to mind for Grunty is the possibility of being in love with someone. Mishaela had the feeling it had to do with that one woman he wanted to bring back from the dead, a false promise she made if it meant him being fully loyal to the Legion of Subspace.
"The pathetic worm begged me to kill him. I only revived him in hopes that he would be serving us again, yet snivels like a child because he enjoyed being at peace thanks to that black hedgehog. We promised that we would give him new guns and full control of his men, he refused. We promised that we would bring that woman back, he refused and wanted to accept his death. Instead we all left him alone. Killing him would had been a waste of time since he is nothing without his weapons or army that we fully control," Death Adder explains.
A stray bullet would hit the helmet of the giant, alerting his fellow members around him.
"What was that?" Reala asked.
More shots were fired, which Grunty and Mishaela used their magic to block in time. Other bullets would be punched away by the Black Baron or swat by Trouble Bruin's newly mechanized fists.
"That was a close one. Whoever did that will taste my sexy fists of fire," the pimp yelled.
"If it is more of those troublesome police, send the Shadow Fiends or just kill them," Reala ordered.
"No need to worry, just leave this to your newly revived allies to save the trouble," Mishaela ordered.
Mr X uses his special red mechanical eye to scan the area and track down the source of the aggressors. As he keeps looking, Neo Zeed jumps into the air to get a good view of the entire area as Aoi Satan maneuvers his massive Koubu mech around the ruined highway ramps.
"Where are you, damn humans? This is our world and there is a special place in Hell for those that stand against us," a giant Max D Cap bellows.
He is back in his building sized demon form to get a better look for these possible intruders. Dark Raven teleports around the many curving streets to look around for the source of the attack.
"Come out, because there is no shame in accepting the darkness. This will be our way of sparing you for your insolence," the bird villain called.
Raidou plows through the many empty police cars with his might to seek his next possible target, which cleared the way for the more reasonable Lan Di to look around for what the crazed fighter may had missed.
"Get out of here, cowards. I want to face you and show that I'm the strongest fighter!" the cyborg fighter shouts.
The Magician hovers around the area in his same trademark pose to look for any abnormalities in the area worth destroying. The remaining Legion members that were hanging on their respective ships already arrived on the scene to watch the unusual sight of their returning allies. Onishima and Hiyashi wiped their eyes, thinking what they see were all an illusion and not reality happening before them.
"Damn, I thought some of them were dead. Why are they alive and well all of a sudden?" the black haired captain stated.
Ashra could tell this is the work of some powerful magic thanks to his special demon eyes.
"They were revived. This must be the work of someone else. Mishaela and Neff were with us the whole time. I couldn't tell you all what happened," the four armed demon says with a shrug.
Psycrow would be alert with his trusty space pistol in case this is the work of an unseen enemy. Turbo however would glitch his way into the sky to get a better view with his elongated insect neck. The first thing the Cybug hybrid would notice are Death Adder and the three superiors looking around the area. Then he would look over to see the Black Baron and Marcus's small group look around the ruined streets for any signs of enemies. A few possessed cops would set off for another area after Neff gave orders to them.
"Hey glitchbug, what do you see up there? Is it someone that I can shoot for us?" the space crow called to Turbo.
The sinister being looked at his ally from above as his face once against glitched between his real persona and King Candy identity.
"No. But I may see the possible source of our fallen allies still walking around. We should personally thank him, but it appears we have some unseen spies to take care of," Turbo replied.
Psycrow would be on his guard, holding his space pistol up and begin walking slowly toward the area.
"You two follow me. Get your guns ready since we have trash to take out," Psycrow ordered.
The two Rokkaku captains would follow his lead, with their best packed heat in hand ready for their first shot in a while.
"Roger that. I will be ready to bang when we see anyone that is still a part of that sad excuse of a police squadron," Hiyashi replied.
Death Adder would stomp to cause a shockwave to destroy multiple cars in his path in rage. Reala, Mishaela, and Grunty continued followed him in hopes of finding their possible spies.
"Unless you don't want your death to be swift, get out here! Trying to assassinate me is your biggest mistake, worms. Where are you?" he yelled.
Fellow Syndicate members Big Ben and Abadede searched every nook and cranny of the ruined streets with the help of Slum, Vice, Garcia, Roo, Mona, Lisa, Jack the Shank, Antonio, Rocky Bear, Particle, Molecule, Zamza, Hakuyo, Eagle, Barbon, Nora, Yamato, Fog, Signal, Garnet, Mifune, Bronz, Donovan, P-Robot, Rocket, and Tiger. Jet, Souther, Andore, Jack the Juggler, and Bongo from Wood Oak City would be the last ones behind due to their late pickup from Death Adder serval days ago. They would be personally disheartened by the news of their own superiors quitting the Syndicate just to spite their own boss that gave them everything they ever wanted. Andore still has his own fists clenched since traitors have no place to live on this Earth in his opinion.
"The bastard. We did everything to keep the city under control only for him to leave us. Just wait until I see Shiva again and break this body like a twig," the wrestler boasts.
"He was like a big older brother to us. What does he see in that lousy police force and their goody two-shoes friends? Has he gone mad? On top of our best girl Electra turning her back on us too. Thankfully we still have beauties like Nora, Mona, Lisa, Garnet, and Caska still following our criminal ways," Jack explains while still juggling his balls.
"We do not need forsakers. Our next mission would be eliminating them until they can't breathe. My claws been itching for some warm flesh to cut through," Souther groaned.
"Big deal, I can just get as much food as we can before we can roast them on an open fire by yours truly," Bongo replied before laughing.
"Food is the last thing you should be thinking about, you massive lummox. We are the Syndicate and our job is to make all that oppose us bleed. We may had lost in the city and allow that gem to be taken away, but we can reclaim it after helping our boss take over the world first. Think of all the chaos we can spread now that the law nationwide can't stand up to us thanks to our pals at the Legion. Soon Axel will have no choice but to run to his nonexistent police station and join us," Jet describes in sadistic glee.
His allies would laugh along with him knowing that he is right on all accounts with their dream becoming closer to reality. More shots would be fired around the area to their surprise, the thugs now being as alert as hunters to see the unseen snipers.
"Get out of here, you pieces of shit. Are you police or spies? Doesn't matter since this is our highway now," Andore yells.
Jet would catch up with Rocket to begin their airborne search of the area as the only flying Syndicate members. The pack of P-Robots would walk ahead of Particle and Molecule as the smaller robot foot soldiers with recon in mind. Jack the Juggler would begin adding flaming bottles to his juggling arsenal in case their enemies may be worth the hellish hurling. The boxing kangaroo would use his special sense of smell to sniff up any traces of gunfire to help track the source of shooting for his human criminal allies.
"Good job Roo. Let us know where the runts are if we will put their lights out," Garcia shouts.
Abadede would have the widest grin knowing that there is more bones he could finally break since his revival. Nora activates the voltage in her whip while Mona and Lisa get ready to leap at their hiding victim in any minute. Mr X would arrive on the scene with all of his best thugs in place for their boss's next set of orders for the day. The crime lord's reason for reaching this area is due to his eye catching wind of a few unaffiliated parties within the shadows of this area.
"Syndicate, look around. Our enemy is closer than we think. P-Robots, use your advancements to search the darkest parts of these streets," he ordered.
The rotund machines waddled around with their ocular device's looking around as if they were mechanical watchdogs. Molecule and Particle would have their built in machine guns ready to exterminate anything that's not on their side. Zamza slices apart a stray police car to see if anything of importance were inside. To his surprise, he could see a few bullets that were left inside. These looked fairly free out of the box, more signs that someone is here all along. Roo hopped his way toward the fallen bullets and begin catching the scent for his allies. As the "guard dog" marsupial for the Syndicate, he would be a huge asset in singing out anything as long as he picks up a familiar scent.
"Good thinking Zamza and Roo. We should beat these bastards to death in no time," Rocky Bear states while air boxing for prep.
"Easy there, they could be dangerous. Some of our men fell to those punks in our city before," Slum said in caution.
Roo would begin hopping in the east to follow the scent of what may be the gun that fired at them. The Syndicate members and Mr. X would begin following the marsupial boxer with preparation and caution for their possible enemy. Big Ben sweats a lot due to fatigue from walking for hundreds of miles in the same skintight overalls that barely fit his obese body and Souther could only be reminded of the time Bongo accidentally burned Jack in the past. Fog drives his famous motorbike slowly at the risk of not startling whoever would have their eyes on his fellow thugs. Then Roo would hold hopping and get into a boxing pose at a safe distance from what could be their foe's new hiding spot. Mr. X could sense high head readings from behind the pile of rubble before him to confirm his marsupial ally's accuracy. The first thing he would do is aim his machine gun finger tips at the rubble with his trademark wicked smile. His legion of fellow crime members would prepare themselves for whoever hid behind their spot. Eventually, a lean figure leapt from behind the rubble to dodge the gunfire from Mr. X's special finger tips.
"There he is, the intruder! Everyone don't let him get away!" he called.
Jet and Rocket use their special jetpacks to lunge at the airborne target.
"We've got you now! Just surrender and we won't humiliate you any further," the former said with his flamethrower ready.
The mysterious man would reach into his pockets to pull out twin sub machine guns and aim at both men. Sprays of bullets would fly at the two before they would split up midair to dodge the metallic projectiles of death. A monochromatic flaming fist project would fly from behind this mysterious man to his surprise. He flips to narrowing dodge it, only burning some of his coat.
"To arms, attack these fiends while they're focused on me," the man yells.
Eventually more gunfire from the entire surrounding area will begin firing everywhere. This is a surprise attack that can only be the work of a very smart leader. Mishaela begins using her magic to cast a dark shield over her, Reala, and Death Adder while Grunty creates her own powerful green shield. The witch's shields were so powerful that only a strong magical force can destroy it, like Jinjos in her first major battle with the bear and bird.
"What is going on right now? There's bullets everywhere, just how?" Grunty cackled nervously.
"These can't be the worst of the police. Even their skills can't be close to this level of destruction," Reala clarified.
Death Adder would use his special serpentine eyes to look around the entire area under Mishaela's protection. He could see many humanoid bodies within the area as a result and growled.
"It appears you are all being backstabbed once again. That Rowen's cowardly men are somehow attacking us all of a sudden. But this can't be without reason," the giant stated.
Neff deflected the many bullets with his golden wrist armor as Guan Yu spins his spear around to cover his allies.
"We have to retaliate from the weak fools that dare oppose us," he said under pressure.
Carvai used her special Copy Skill to transform into a walking steel version of herself thanks to scanning the steel properties of these flying bullets. Due to this ability, she weighs a megaton and is completely impervious to all gunfire.
"Good thinking Carvai, I'll give you from here with my Killer ability," Zerig called.
The blonde commander would begin leaping around the area and swung his special sword at all bullets in his way. Marcus used his powerful legs to leap into the air at great heights for his next tactic and The Baron calls his best Deathwatch Members to arrive on the scene as back up.
"Attention all pain purveyors, this is the Black Baron ordering you all to get your asses here and kill these suckas. So stop starin'," he yells into a communicator.
Dark Raven would use his power to summon Dark Corvo and his other elite crows to find these gun rotting betrayers at all costs.
"Crows, destroy all the wretched filth that dare try to clip our wings. Show them why everyone should fear the dark," the villain yelled.
Captain Glur twirls his special water pistol before launching massive water blasts at the many sources of the gun fire. Massive explosions of water would result from the attack, followed by a few strikes of lightning to shock the possible intruders. This is the work of Purge, who recovered from his earlier knockout thanks to the loud commotion waking him from his sleep.
"Once again, there's always someone thinking they are a threat to the Legion. Rhythm Rogues, find these traitors!" he stated.
His black right hand man and bounty hunter for hire Shadow stands atop the warship, and presses a special button to alert all the black robot henchmen for their next task. Greedy would use his power to create a small black hole to suck in all bullets that dared threaten his villainous allies. Saltim would assist him using his special mirror to use a powerful suction that absorbs anything into his special mirror world.
"Kee kee kee, nothing can break this mirror when it's in full suck mode. Surrender or you're no fun," the silly monkey clown taunts.
Many piles of rubber would be blown to bits due to Era Gecko's powerful sonic mouth blasts and the fireballs from Toppo's Tyrannosaurus skeleton steed. A massive ball of ice would be bouncing around to crush any spot where the bullets shot from. This is the work of Moles, a massive seal crow who originally guarded Blizzard Castle. Dark Corvo and his many clones would split up to find more of these treacherous gunners under the order of his tyrannical boss.
"Give up! Your only means to stop us are futile. Darkness will always rise again despite the light you bring," he floats.
Flocks of bats would be attacking the many men that could no longer hide from their unsuccessful ambush plan. This is the work of none other than Elise.
"Feed on zee of zeese foolish men, my pets. Show zem zat zis vorld is all ours for zee taking," the voluptuous vampire commanded.
One of the few gunners would run out of his spot with vampire bats desperately biting at his torn outfit and exposed skin. Mathilda appears and knocks this man away with her nail covered club in all sight. Just the sight of that blood flying everywhere excites Elise from the sight.
"Blood such delicious blood. I vant it all!" she screams in ecstasy.
They weren't alone as more Deathwatch assassins were there to help kick down their new weaker prey. This would include powerhouses like Jude the Dude, Marvin, Frank, Little Eddie, Von Twirlenkiller, Kojack, Yokozuna, Shogun Kokushimuso, The Masters, and The Shaman with his pack. These former Deathwatch fighters were waiting to have their first blood in years since their death at the hands of Jack. Von Twirlenkiller would be the first to attack by punching the ground to generate his largest twister yet. It would begin picking up more of these hidden gunmen to be whirled with the other street concrete and car debris that were already sucked. Frank would begin charging a large amount of electricity within the generators on his back, this gave time for the Shaman to command his fellow lycanthropes seek their next mailing rages in their area. A mighty howl is the only sound he could make as a feral master of native magic. Shogun and Yokozuna would destroy the many piles of rubble to destroy all hiding places, leaving these gunmen vulnerable and open to any attack.
"My fellow assassins, kill them and make sure not a single man escape!" the proud sumo shouts.
A few lycanthropes already pounced a few men to viciously maul them in place in blood thirst. Jude shot a few gunmen in their heads to guarantee an easy kill as Little Eddie smack a few men many feet away with his spiked iron ball. The massive mutated prisoner lets out the mightiest roar to celebrate his victory. The massive Mech controller by Martin would roll its way at a few gunmen that runs from him, with a drill and claw ready to kill them. The TV display on the mech depicts a Gray alien, which would be Martin himself.
"Destroy targets. Must spill blood to get stronger for killing Jack," the alien spoke through his impressive mech.
Kojack outraced the mech to slice them all down with his massive blade, completely wounded them from any escape.
"Hell yes, it feels good to kill again. I'll be coming for your ass, Jack," the cyborg clone shouts in joy.
The Masters succeed in using their telekinesis to hold the few runaway gunmen from escaping using all of their might.
"You can not escape the might of the force. Accept your fates, you all are lost," George said.
"Indeed son. You were disciplined well thanks to my guidance. We all have to show zero mercy to our enemies," Francis stated.
Frank finally reached maximum voltage and unleashed his energy to fire massive bolts into the sky. The Baron could only chuckle that all of his fellow Deathwatch members were doing excellently with their task of taking out all spies in the area. He taps his pimp can on the ground and lets out the biggest laugh to celebrate his victorious plan.
"You see, this is how y'all get the job done. All the pimps and hos will have to put a bitch down until they can no longer breathe anything but their own shit," he exclaimed.
There dark red skies would illuminate many blue lights to signal the incoming bolts created by the Frankenstein-like assassin's power. The massive bolts would drop in a flash to destroy massive amounts of concrete from its power and even fellow Legion members would begin retreating due to the damage.
"Everyone, fall back. Things will get rough," Marcus called.
Many of the rising highway ramps would crumble away from the severe damage of each powerful high voltage strike, causing whichever gunman to be caught to fall to their own death or struggle to jump up the falling debris to escape their fall. Mishaela, Dark Raven, Reala, Grunty, Greedy, Purge, Von Twirlenkiller, Elise, Dark Corvo, The Magician, Captain Glur, Neff in his Fire Crocodile form, and Aoi Satan would fly towards their perched warships to escape the collapsing highway and their fall. This would leave the non-flying Legion members to use this time to run or jump away from the destruction that occurs around them.
"Next time, tell your henchman to not do something this reckless again," Guan Yu warned as he ran with The Baron.
The army that Death Adder brought and active members that were guarding the ships disappeared in a blink of an eye. This is due to Grunty and Mishaela putting their magic together to warp their important forces back to the ships. The possessed cops however already made the move to escape the crumbling streets with their own vehicles in time thanks to having a great sense for fatal danger. The Mysterious Man would be left exhausted next to a tired Mr. X after fighting for a while. While not much damage would be done to his improved armor, using a lot of energy would be exhausting to the fear organic parts he can function with. The man however would be in the worst condition since he never fought a foe with such advanced technology before. He would already notice that the reformed gunmen that were assisting him all perished thanks to the Legion and their destruction, leaving him alone and heavily wounded. The crime lord wanted to enjoy the act of killing him, but felt it was time to fly away from the series heading his way. They stood on what could be left of the undamaged famous highway.
"Very well, just accept your grave that awaits you. I don't know who you are, but never cross paths with our group again. This is our world and a new one that will be ruled by the strong like us," Mr. X brags.
The cyborg crime lord activates his rocket feet to liftoff the ground slowly as he laughs at the weakened man. This man would be out of bullets and left with no means to stop his runaway opponent or even escape the cave-in that begins below his feet. He could only accept what would happen to him and surrender his body to the fall that begins. All he could see is the sky shrinking before his eyes and falling concrete surrounding his view.
Rowen, I don't know if I can make it to where you are. Sorry about your comrades failing to escape with me alive. Rebecca, if you are out there I would like to say sorry for not surviving for your sake.
The man plummets into the dark abyss below without a single sound or need to scream, never to be seen again. The entire Legion are now safely standing closer to their ships after their great escape. What lies before them is now a massive pit that senates them from the broken lower streets that had no highway to connect to anymore thanks to Frank's destructive lightning. For a reunion between Death Adder's group and the rest of the living Legion members, this would be an unexpected turn of events. Reala could only try to process what would lead their own men that serve them to turn against them out of the blue. The angry giant tyrant could only amount this being the work of Rowen.
"That fool must had told his men to attack us as a last resort. Letting him live in Red Mountain was a mistake. Luckily he's not too far away for either of us to pay him a personal visit," he angrily spoke.
"No, it's someone else. That man I fought back there, he is possibly connected with him if those gunners started following his orders," Mr. X states.
"The least you've could had done was bring that person to us alive. Knowing his name and getting information out of him would had been useful," Greedy replies.
"All isn't lost. I can inform Fare to fly down there and investigate. Her group should be on their way back here as expected," Marcus remarked.
"Allow me to do that instead. Looking down there now is better than waiting for him to die from the fall. No one would had survived it easily," Reala said urgently.
The red and black jester would dart for the pit bellow in a fast flying speed to investigate. Mishaela would try to follow until the mechanical witch stopped her dead in her tracks for a certain request.
"Never forget we made a deal. What I want is for my flesh and bone to become real," Grunty asks.
The dark elf sorceress sighs in annoyance and takes the witchMa head out of her mechanical body's head glass.
"For this to work, I would need your skull to leave that body. You wouldn't want to become alive and have your living body stuck forever," she said.
Just the thought of that would make the witch's decapitated bony head to shudder at the though of suffocating in a glass and having her real body crushed by the cybernetic compact. The other villains would continue staring at the rolls of dust to see if Reala is doing anything down below. Max D Cap and Death Adder continue using their special demon eyes to continue searching for any signs of life down below. Elise would only impatiently wait for a chance of more blood since she couldn't have a drop thanks to Frank causing them to fall from her clutches. Silence still fill the massive pit before them to anticipate the fate of their spy and anticipating the fast return of their Nightmaren ally. The status of all three ships were at sixty percent complete repairs, meaning it would take at least another few days for them to be fully functional again to their former glory. Being the analytical man he was, Dr Curien would look around with his glasses covered eyes to see any abnormalities in the pit despite not having his power activated. The Magician would grow impatient and wanted to voice his desire to fly down there to give his ally assistance.
"I'm going down there. The more help would make this body search quicker. I suggest anyone else who can to help out," the horned creature snarled.
Curien payed no mind to his creation as there is not a word he could say to deny his sapience and independence. The Magician eventually floats into the dust cloud mass to help with the search. In the meantime, a burst of magic could be heard behind the crowd.
"The hell was that? Another spy?" Purge shouts.
Marcus turned and only laughed at what he saw before his eyes.
"More like our ally is no longer a walking tin can anymore thanks to our superior," the mustachioed man stated.
All fellow Legion members would turn to see the sight.
"Oh hell naaaw!" The Baron exclaimed.
"So you are back to no longer being a revived skull on life support, witch," Death Adder stated. "I was expecting something threatening and not fatter," Rokkaku replied in surprise.
Grunty is indeed back to her old self, the familiar green warty skin and wrinkly green fingers were no lie. She could blink again instead of her eyes constantly open, her trademark nose wart is back where it belongs, she could feel her joints being able to bend and flex again, and her original witch clothes are back to their own glory. Just being overflown with happy emotions, the witch jumps into the air and flies around in circles on her living broom companion, letting out the loudest cackle ever. This sight almost made Jude the Dude and Big Ben to laugh from it.
"You think it is funny for witch to enjoy their original body? Now watch as I change yours and you won't be somebody," the witch scowled.
In response to their laughter, Grunty shots a few magical blasts at both henchmen. Mr. X and The Baron would be alarmed at the witch's sudden retaliation at their own henchmen.
"Just what is the meaning of this? You shouldn't harm them just for mere laughter," the crime lord shouts.
Big Ben would now be transformed into a horrible green blob with Jude the Dude being a skeleton similar to his appearance after Jack first killed him. The fat syndicate member would look at his now green goopy hands and notice his overalls were all gone that left him as a naked mass. He lets out the biggest unintelligible yell now that he is some horrible monster. Jude the Dude however screamed and tries to cover himself, ignoring that there is nothing scandalous about being bones.
"Hey fatass hag, change my dude back to his former glory. Unless you want a taste of my OG pimp slap to your green throw-up lookin' ass," the pimp threatens.
"Fine, your men will be back to their original form. But if they get on my nerves again, their next punishment will be turning into a worm," the witch gloats.
She would once again snap her fingers, turning Big Ben and Jude the Dude back to their original forms.
"There, you are no longer an undead cyborg witch anymore. But do not forget my end of the deal. You use your supposedly stronger magic to help me bring back my husband Darksol. He would be of greater assistance to help us take over this world," Mishaela reminded the flesh and bone Grunty.
Despite this, Grunty had yet another idea up her sleeve knowing how much of a help her fellow sorceress is. Deep in her mind, she would remember her original goal of wanting to be the most beautiful wench in Spiral Mountain.
At the risk of not sounding too greedy, I need to think of a way to look less needy. With my beautiful appearance achieved, all of my goals are complete than being peeved.
Michaela would know something is up when Grunty is taking too long to answer her request. This alerts Grunty to give her ally her desired attention and quickly ask a favor. She really had one shot at asking this favor if it means not needing the help of a machine that is too far away for her to access and probably swallowed by the subspace. The dark elf sorceress would be on her guard knowing that she is awfully hesitant to answer for a strange reason she couldn't fathom. Big Ben and Jude the Dude continue to celebrate having their bodies back, being jolly friends for the first time.
"How about a double deal? It will be so delightful that you could squeal. Use your power to make me the prettiest wench and I can revive anyone else you want on the bench. You are a nice enough witch to help an older one out. What do you say, give me a shout," Grunty asks in rhyme.
"Yes. There is someone else in mind that I would like in addition to Darksol. You have yourself a deal, Gruntilda Winkybunion," Mishaela replied.
This caused not only Grunty to drop her jaw but everyone else minus the more serious villains.
What a shock, she really laid it out for me like a rock. But alas, I can finally be pretty, eat that Brentilda and stop being so witty.
Eventually, The Magician rose back out of the pit with a state of urgency to alert everyone.
"You fools, get out there and help. Our little spy has a friend all along and she's helping him get away from Reala. Those who can help should come with me and help stop her escape," the horned creature called.
"I knew something would be takin' so long for a reason. Martin, Frank, prepare to shoot that bitch out of the sky when you see her pretty ass show up," The Baron ordered his strongest henchmen.
"Jet and Rocket, fly out there and stop her at all costs," Mr. X called.
"Shadow, get off the ship and bring the toughest Rhythm Rogues with you to stop our little rat," Purge shouts into his transmitter.
"Rokkaku Task Force, send in the inflatable fire rhinos to give our guests a warm welcome," Rokkaku yelled.
The many villains that could fly on their own would set out to pursue their possible escapee at all costs thanks to the encouragement from their artificially created ally. In the far distance, Reala would be pursuing his target already. The mysterious man who was thought had died is being carried away by a mysterious winged woman with blonde hair. Her ram like horns and pink wings were signs that she is far from human, same for her inability to talk like a human too. Only being able to speak through growls and grunts as if she were a wild beast. She pants during the high speed flight to escape the wrathful Nightmaren that wanted to put an end to her and the man that failed his plans of retaliation on the Legion. Reala begins charging another ball of nightmare energy in his hands with his devious eyes set on the escapee.
"If you think you can get out of here alive, then you are sadly mistaken. Stop resisting, you are good as ours to capture," he shouts.
The winged girl only responds with an angry hiss to threaten him. But this wouldn't be enough to stop him from hurling the ball of nightmares at her. She narrowly dodged the attack and only begin holding her ally tighter to avoid dropping him to his death. The man is still out cold and could only remain lifeless in hopes he could return to a good sleeping spot. Reala turned to see that help had arrived to assist him in his mission to stop the intruders' escape. Dark Raven, dozens of apple demons, Jet, Rocket, Greedy, a swarm of Orbs, Shadow, Von Twirlenkiller, Elise, a fleet of Rhythm Rogues, Dark Corvo, various inflatable Rhinos, The Magician, Neff in his Fire Crocodile form again, Fare, a slew of Zeti Bots, and Aoi Satan riding his Koubu were among the many fliers helping Reala chanting down their defenseless prey. Reala would give the widest grin knowing they will have the upper hand with this group to stop the fleeing duo.
"Excellent, you all came just when I've really needed it. But enough talk, get them out of the skies. Even if it kills them," the vengeful Nightmaren ordered.
The mysterious girl would notice a series of heat seeking black feathers following her. This is the work of Dark Raven who wanted to do what could be the quickest way of stopping her. These feathers will keep flying until they hit their intended target and never explode from overheating, making the situation harder for her. Shadow commands his elite Rhythm Rogues to fire their energy blasts at her from above. The inflatable yellow rhinos would open their fanged maws to begin charging powerful flames for their next attack. The winged girl dodged each of the electrical blasts while speeding up to outspend the feathers that gained on her. She would begin feeling intense heat heading her way and looked up to see massive jets of fire aiming at her. The winged woman growled and narrowly speeds up to dodge the incoming fire. Fortunately, the fire would also destroy the feathers that were following her at first. Dark Raven scoffs at this sight and look at his second crow in command to let him know it was time. Dark Corvo nods and teleports from his sight quickly. Von Twirlenkiller would use his powerful turbine to blow a powerful tornado in the direction of his prey.
"Let's see if you can dodge this. I was the reason behind Hurricane Katrina, making me a force of nature," the cybernetic assassin boasts.
The girl would know that these strong winds were beginning to suck her closer and slow down her own top flying speed. Despite this, she is heavily determined to make it out of Speed Highway safely with her partner alive.
"Sullivan!" she called in desperation.
Unfortunately, this is among the only word she could properly say as this is the result of Zenith warping her mind years ago in Basel.
"So that's the name of your friend isn't it, too bad. You must die for your insolence," a group of voices would say.
Dark Corvo and his many clones would surround This mysterious winged girl to corner her. She could only do nothing but growl at the clones to intimidate them since using her powers could endanger the glasses wearing man in her grasp. Dark Corvo and his clones would eventually strike her all at once with their staffs, wounding her to try fingering her flight. The tornado thrown by Von Twirlenkiller slowly gains on her as a result and keeps sucking her. Not only that, but armed machine gun mounted police helicopters controlled by the possessed cops of Speed Highway would get involved as well. This is a sign that the two escaping intruders were now in the heart of the city and only many miles away from what could be Station Square. She once again yells in pain before the flock of crow sorcerers would attack her at once again. Another heavy strike, and she would begin slowing down. The whirling vortex of death is now several feet away and could swallow both escapees easily. The girl refused to give up and gave it her all to try escaping her airborne attackers. It wasn't until Jet would catch up to her with his flamethrower ready to attack from above.
"Let's see if you can fly again after I cook your beloved wings to a crisp. Burn in hell," the Syndicate flyer taunts.
He would begin blowing the intense flames at the wings of his prey, succeeding in catching the large purple appendages on fire. The girl bellows in agony from the intense heat burning at her only means of flight as the tornado gets even closer to her than before. Dark Corvo eventually flies away along with his clones to avoid the swirling mass that got closer to them. The only hope this girl have at surviving would mean tapping into her full power, even if it means hurting the unconscious body of her immortal friend. She would eventually perform the risky action of making her wings disappear and plummet toward the solid street out of harms way. The dumbfounded Jet would eventually be the one sucked nearly sucking the tornado and desperately tries to fly at a faster speed to escape. It wasn't until The Magician swooped in to dissipate the vortex with his raw strength to save his careless ally.
"Don't get the wrong idea. I am only stopping the recklessness of our allies. We need to learn how to not harm each other," he explains in his usual pseudo-calm behavior.
The resulting fall would cause both the girl and her ally to tumble violently for several feet from the landing, catching the attention of the many possessed police officers to stop their patrol and surround the area.
"All officers, surround the intruder. Make sure those that oppose the new world order are to be shot on sight," one officer called.
The girl now lies on her back from the impact of the fall, struggling to get back to her feet. Just the site of the defenseless and defeated Sullivan would make her grow angrier at her own failure. She would begin desperately moving her arms to try raising her wounded body off the broken surface. The cops that surround her still had their guns ready to attack in case she even thrust about trying to run away. The helicopters from earlier would arrive just in time to cover the skies and shined a few bright lights onto her body to signal their allies.
"Intruder sighted. All units report to 2356 South Westland Lane. We have our enemy sighted and ready to fire when needed," a speaker shouts.
The blinding lights could only make the girl's sight and head fuzzier than usual since her sense were now becoming weaker over time. Several of the villains already landed to surround their treacherous prey now that she is at her absolute weakest. The officers that were planning to shoot would only hold their fire to let their overlords be the ones to corner the girl. She would slowly reach her hand out towards Sullivan, only for the sight of Von Twirlenkiller to land before him with his fists ready.
"Sull…ivan!"she said in pain.
The first thing he would do is kick his defenseless body to roll him towards a nearby building. Then The Magician would slam onto the man at full force to crush his back. This would only make the girl angrier than usual from the sight, causing her wings to regrow from her back. One frightened cop would aim his gun at her as if she were a dangerous monster.
"Stand down, we will shoot if you resist us!" he shouts.
She would ignore her regrets and let out the largest roar that could be heard from miles. A massive amount of pink aura flashed from her body and snakes its way into the skies. The remaining pursuing villains could see this phenomenon from miles away, especially the devious Reala that really wanted to get his clawed hands on her for saving a spy that attacked their resting spot.
Soon, you shall grovel on the ground and experience the nastiest of nightmares when we meet again.
He clenched his right hand tightly, feeling nothing but boiling rage at his escaping target.
"There's our little prey. Soon she and her knocked out friend will soon perish for even getting involved in the Legion's affairs," Greedy says in a gravely voice.
"I've told the Rhythm Rogues to surround the area. There's no way this winged pest or the four eyed menace will think of grooving away alive," Shadow replies with his red visor.
"Great work, you seem more competent than your fool of a boss already," Aoi Satan remarked within his Koubu.
Shadow could only remain silent after his ally's ride statement, as any disrespect towards his boss would greatly upset him. Jet and Rocket would already begin speeding ahead of everyone due to the excitement of catching their prey. Fare and Elise would soon fly faster to avoid being left behind everyone else in this high speed flight pursuit. Back in the city, both The Magician and Twirlenkiller would be giving it their all fighting the serious winged girl who's angry at the s use they dealt to Sullivan's unconscious body. They've never felt anything this strong compared to how weak they've expected her from their escape. Without someone to carry and having countless enemies surrounding her, she had no reason to hold back her power anymore and fight for her own life. The Magician's armored skin is now cracking from the heavy strikes and even Von Twilenkiller's cybernetic body is sparking from using too much of his energy. Dark Corvo, Neff, and Dark Raven would have their enemy squadron ready to advance while her winged back is turned and defenseless.
"Legion, attack her at once!" the crow sorcerer commands.
Apple Demons, Orbs, Zeti Bots, Rhythm Rogues, jet pack Syndicate goons, possessed cops, Hammer Demons, Doras, Anters, Antons, Ribbims, and Big Doras charge altogether at the winged girl. She would glance at these incoming attackers with a frightening glare. This glare would be comparable to something she would do in her old days of being a killing machine that slaughtered all who originally opposed her. Several of the weaker minions like Orbs and lower level Crows would stop dead in their tracks due to the sudden fear that overcame them. The larger and stronger ones however would keep their course to defeat their lonely targets at all cost for their masters. The first one to attack would be a Big Dora with his massive purple fist, being the higher level foot soldiers for Dark Raven. The girl blocked this attack with her large pink wing, now having her frightening eyes on his feline face. The white eyed crow could only react in an unexpected frown at his fists not being strong enough to crush her. She retaliates with a backhand swing of her hand, knocking him again a row of scared Doras and Antons.
The end result would be the defeated crows ricocheting and bowling all around the crowded streets as if they were living bowling balls. This is usually what would happen when Billy or any of the other Egg Warriors knock around the round bodies of these crows. Some of the Legion grunts were lucky to dodge the out of control rolling bodies while many others were either flattened or even crushed against buildings from the chaos. The few enemies that would stay airborne would dive at the winged girl for their onslaught at full force. She blocked the hammer strike of a demon with her wings and knocked him away from opening them. A few jet pack Syndicate members would be knocked away by her quick hand strikes and an Orb would be kicked away into his fellow green spherical allies. The cops would encircle the winged girl with their guns ready to fire, purple eyes hungering for the sight of their lifeless bloody victims. The surrounded girl would react with a few confused grunts as if she were a lost animal.
"On your mark, fire on this intruder and make sure she can't ever think about stopping our true world leaders again!" the police leader shouts.
Massive rounds of gunfire ensues around her from every direction in the blink of an eye to make sure she had no way of escaping. However, she had her own trick of her sleeve that neither of these mindless zombies were expecting. She spins around with her wings outstretched rapidly with grace before they could reach her body. The winds were enough to force these bullets back at the very shooters that fired them at the same speed. Some cops were severely wounded while a selected few managed to barely dodge them in time. One of them would growl as if he were a rapid dog and begin firing at the girls again. She once again dodge these bullets with her speed and goes in for the kill. One of the cops would be pierced in his chest by two fast fingers alone, wounding his heart in the process. At times like these, she would not hold back on the idea of taking a life if it means living to see another day. Two other cops would assist him by having their pistols ready to harm her. She would disappear in a flash and finger stab them in similar spots to incapacitate them quickly. One managed to fire against her wing, only slightly wounding it since these were one of the weaker guns compared deadlier ones her enemies would usually fight with. This would only bring out the bloodthirstier side of her that she had missed years ago. One of them would only be smacked away by one of her wings, sent flying towards a nearby building. The impact not only shattered the nearby windows, but broke away large slabs of brick that held this building together. Dark Raven quickly created several dark forcefields to protect him and the few villains beside him in response.
"Bah, she is a destructive individual. We will need more firepower to put the feral wench down," Neff warned.
The winged girl continued to beat off the series of crows, Rhythm Rogues, and demons with a hammer that she stole from one of the Hammer Demons earlier. As a quick learner in combat and adaptation, the winged girl would do everything in her power to survive even the worst battles. An Anton would fire multiple purple eggs around the girl from his swollen abdomen. The ant like crow snickers before running backwards to leave it to the newborn Anters to deal with his enemy. The ant like crows would be defeated swiftly by another swing of her hammer, some of them rolling into the runaway Anton to defeat him quickly. A long pink tongue would wrap around her arm and begin bulling at her. This is the work of a Ribbim, a large brown frog-like crow known for its impressive hopping and powerful laser ringed tongue they lash at their enemies. Her arm would begin sizzling from the heat of the laser rigged part of the devious amphibian's tongue, causing her to scream from the excruciating pain. Another would lash at her left arm and grab it with its same deadly tongue to make sure she couldn't think about escaping. The two amphibians would begin pulling from opposite sides to try locking her in a great position. The hammer lays right below her feet from the pain she receives on both ends of her body. The heavy thud would signal the other Legion grunts to head in the direction of the sound for investigation. A few of the Apple Demons would fit their heart tipped arrows at her body to severely wound it while she remained a mobile target. She screams louder than before from her pain as a few more Legion mooks join in on the fun. A few Rhythm Robots of the black walker variety would begin jumping at her face to give her metallic smacks to the face and some Flyers would ram into her at full force. She could only cough blood after each hit with her being overpowered. Cops would use this time to rapidly shoot at her wounded body without a shred of remorse or humanity. Each bullet making her body bloodier than ever as Reala finally arrived to see the sad state of his runaway prey. Just the sight of her suffering and captured could only make him laugh in sadistic glee and joy. In the middle of this, a familiar glasses wearing man would limp his way towards the peculiar sight with the stretch he has left. This would be the same man this winged girl would be protecting at all time who woke up several minutes ago. The villains would find this sight unusual with their devious eyes on him the entire time.
"So our little spy is awaken from his nap, huh?" Greedy sneered. "If he thinks he has the littlest bit of energy to save her, then he's got a death wish," Neff says after changing to his best form.
"What a shame, if only he could had stayed like a good man and allowed us to capture him none of this would had happened," Shadow taunts.
He would use this time to report back to Purge on his transmitter to inform him of the successful pursuit. The Legion's foot soldiers continued to slowly torture their entrapped target while ignoring her loud cries of pain. For every yell, more blood would paint the ruined street below in a grim scene. One of the crow frogs would be shot in its head with a bullet, causing it to explode into a flock of crows that retreats into the dark sky. Reala would notice that the man would be the reason for its death and still had some fight in him to shoot with his gun.
"That fool can still attack even when he's on the verge of death?" he said in caution.
Neff snorts in anger through his purple rhinoceros snout in the deepest anger.
"It doesn't matter. We should kill him before she is freed and both think about escaping!" he barked.
Sullivan continues to shoot at the other frog crow, but barely reached the head due to his fatigue and pain from the previous fall. The wounded crow grunts in pain, but refuse to slurp his tongue back when he had orders to fulfill.
"Rebecca...you will be...s...safe and we c..can get...out of this...hellish...city.," he says with each and all strength he had.
A Rhythm Robot would jump and land directly on his back to crush him. The glasses wearing man lets out the loudest cry in pain from the heavy small robot's weight. The sound is enough to get the attention of the wounded Rebecca that notice one of her arms were free. Not that this freedom would be enough since enough arrow and gunfire wounded her entire fatigued body to ensue to escape. Her eyes would notice her only friend being crushed by a robot that continues to jump on his back whole he's lower than a rock. Just the sight alone would trigger something inside of her.
"Sul...Sullivan?" she said in a weak voice.
"Aw how cute, the winged wench cares for the four eyes freak? Too bad both will die a painful slow death from all of us," Rocket taunts.
"Disgusting. I can only vomit if we are subjected to more of this instead of our men killing them," The Magician said in disgust.
The next thing that happens is Rebecca using her strength to pull the Ribbim's tongue with a mighty tug to drag him closer. He would eventually be clawed in his face so hard that his entire body is reduced to a flock of smaller crows flying away. Dark Raven would grow alert after seeing one of his crows reduced to a murder by someone's hands in front of him.
This isn't good. We need to stop her quickly.
Rebecca spread her massive wings and swings them down at massive force to blow the many grunts away from her. Various crows, demons, cops, and Syndicate goons would be flying into the air from the force. Even the Robot Rogue would fly off Sullivan's back from the powerful gusts of wind. The man could barely see the very girl he protects with his life is the one to protect him for the second time of his life. Through his spectacles we would witness her slamming around some cops and feed on the blood of the wounded ones. As one of the more unique Zenith experiments in Basel, she is one of the least human and require blood as a food source in order to live. She saw these now corrupt officials as not only enemies but food to help give her the strength she needs to fight off being completely surrounded. He could only use the energy he gave to aim his arm at the airborne fighters that tried to attack her from behind. Shooting down all the jetpack riding goons in their chest to wound them and wound the wings of the hammer demons to interrupt their flight. Both of the two would be giving it their all to fight off the many Legion foot soldiers that endlessly attack them. Their teamwork even when rounded shown so much excellence in the light of how much disadvantages they were at being in enemy territory with little help. This sight would be enough to anger the Nightmaren jester quite a lot for someone who doesn't like when things do not go his way. Shadow and Von Twirlenkiller could sense his anger as they felt an immense pressure coming from his body. He isn't the only one, as Neff couldn't contain his anger anymore as he could feel the need to charge at the two wounded spies. The bipedal pachyderm wizard could only feel so much rage building that not even reason could stop him from making his next move. After drinking enough blood, Rebecca now has enough strength and agility back to fend off all of her attackers from hurting Sullivan. Sullivan would now be out of bullets and unable to give the backup with how sore his battered body is.
"We can't…be here.. forever. Lea…leaving is an op..tion to save.. ourselves," he said.
Upon hearing his orders, the winged girl would focus her attention on him and swoop to grab him. Reala charged at the wide open Rebecca and pins her to the solid ground with powerful arm of vengeance. The sight of his only ticket to escape being defeated easily widened the eyes of the glasses wearing man in horror. His heart would sink knowing that there is nothing he could do about it with his severe injuries and even his immortality is in question of if he can survive even more fatal damage.
"Just…leave her be. Take me…instead," he said with much strain.
The powerful Neff slams into Sullivan at full force to lock him away.
"That can be arranged. You had lived in this world long enough, ally of a traitor," the purple rhino sorcerer bellows.
The battered body of Rebecca's ally would roll several feet around the street as each slam leaves a spot of blood. He would be near his limit in which any more damage would be enough to kill him indefinitely. Rebecca snarled and growls in pain from the angry Nightmaren pressuring her body against the hard concrete. Reala would be too far gone and hellbent on wanting to end the life of their uninvited guest for humiliating his group in their city. His intense eyes would only stare down the helpless eyes of his wounded inferior flying target with only one thing in mind. Sullivan would try to move his hands only for Neff to thrash him into the air with his powerful horn. Elise would already be watching the body anxiously for a chance to have more of that delicious blood she desires. Greedy would do the honors or striking the flying Sullivan back to the ground with his powerful thunder strike.
"Plummet, and may this be the last time you ever see the light of day," the cruel space pirate shouts.
The end result would be a massive crater that is deeper than a few feet, barely above any of the pipes that would connect from the buildings into the sewer. With broken glasses and heavily bartered body, Sullivan would be out cold completely with no means to move.
"Sullivan!" Rebecca calls.
Reala would only slam her face into the ground harder than before to assert his nightmarish and cruel demeanor on his hopeless victim.
"Your first mistake was to infiltrate our city that we rightfully taken over. Your second mistake was to think you can turn our own men against us and get away with it. And your final mistake is to push me to the point where I would take the joy in doing more than causing suffering to my enemies. It is a real accomplishment that not even my purple good hearted nemesis would force me into. Your reward, a quick death. You do not even deserve to suffer from the nightmares that I had planned for you, pathetic excuse of a monster," he coldly explains to his suffering victim.
Rebecca still struggles to try shaking her aggressor off of her despite having not much strength left to fight Reala. The few police officers would surround the concrete pit to open fire on their wounded target when the time is right.
"Long live the Legion. Those who do not see the light of our new world order deserve to face absolute justice. Death," one of them would say in an emotionless manner.
The two spies would now be in the tightest situation ever with both on the verge of death and their immortality being near their limits. The latter would already be due to having an intense fight with Zephyr, Vashyron, and Leanne in the past with the best of their abilities and endurance. The two were one of the few humans to have immortality outside of Basel any time they wanted but with the cost of it having several limitations to it. Even one of Sullivan's hopes were to fight his three rivals once more and be the one to die in their hands as a sign of honor. The mans eyes were too shut to see the possible bullet storm that would end his life whenever they've felt like it. Meanwhile, his only friend is still being battered and pinned to the ground thanks to Reala's own ferocity and determination. The entire portion of the Legion that chased the two were all here to witness the public execution of their own nosy enemies. Shadow would offer his assistance in repairing Von Twirlenkiller's damaged body while The Magician for the first time awaits his creator to hurry up with the healing serum developed especially for him.
Dark Raven and Dark Corvo would put their powerful crow magic together to create a crow portal big enough for the other Legion members to arrive in time in case more help is needed. The impatient Jet would only see if his flamethrower has enough fire power left if it meant being able to burn either of his possible victims. Fare would be torn over what weapon of her massive collection would be the best for dealing her deadly Crit ability with, leaving her dragon eager to begin flying again. Aoi Satan laughs manically soon as his Koubou would have its special powerful blade ready to cut away anything in its path. Soon a few fellow Ninteldo generals arrived on the scene to watch the commotion. One is a silent woman wearing an orange armored suit, another would be a small yellow girl with electrical powers, and lastly a blonde boy with PSI abilities. Fare could recognize them as they were all part of the same kingdom.
"Pirika! Masa! Saroid! Thank goodness you all are here to help us deal with this pesky intruder," the red violet haired warrior exclaimed.
Saroid could only respond with a silent nod due to her inability to talk unlike her fellow allies. Her other allies would wave at their ally with joyful expressions despite the gruesome scene.
"Fare, were only came since we did hear a lot of noise in this direction. Things were a bit too boring with not that many people to catch and the streets being normal as usual," Masa replied.
"Finally, we have someone I can shock. With my pride as one of the remaining Pocket Monks left, you all can count on me," the yellow girl boasts.
One loud scream would alert the three Ninteldo soldiers to look toward the east. Rebecca would now be severely bleeding thanks to her savage beating from a pissed off Reala on the broken street. The few Legion grunts left would cheer the Nightmaren's execution on tho raise his morale.
"Reala! Reala! Reala! Reala! Reala!"
All from the many demons, Syndicate looks, and Rhythm Robots that admired their top commander's strength and brutality to put down anyone that were to stand the way between their victory and city. Neff and especially Von Twirlenkiller would enjoy the sight of the brutal beating before them, fit of someone who is one of Eggman's most trusted allies in the entirety of the Legion of Subspace. "This should set an example for all that oppose us. We may had failed in that regard with the Mothership Invasion, but now it is only these two worms alone with no one to save them from certain doom," the evil rhinoceros wizard explains. "If only the Baron were here to see this. It should be broadcasted in Varrigan City to just to show how much progress we are making without that fool Leo's help," the German assassin say in excitement. The cops would slowly hover their hands over their triggers to put down the wounded Sullivan with The Magician doing the honors of commanding them.
"Get ready men, open fire at will, make sure there is not a single breathe left in him," he shouts.
A green sticky material splats in the back of the heads of some cops. The horned creature would examine what it was to get an idea of what it would be. One cop could struggle to get the green sticky glop off of his hair with his hand glued on their shut.
"What is it this time? Can't they just shoot?" Neff complained.
The few cops that were not hit with this material could only be confused as to where it came from. More of the green material would be shot at their faces and hands to keep them from going anywhere. All of Sullivan's would be executers would now be stunned by the sticky green glop that spawns out of nowhere. The Magician grew angrier by the moment at this sudden ambush by their unseen attacker.
"Show yourself, coward. I know that you are here and only to afraid to fight us direct…"
Then he would be shocked by a flash of lightning that just happened to strike him from above. He is now grounded in pain due to already not getting the serum hey needed from his injuries fighting off Rebecca earlier.
"Hey! Someone is ripping off of my powers. Just come out so I can shock you harder than you did to our ally," the jealous Pirika shouts.
Reala would be confused by what would be the reason for The Magician and the possessed cops being sneak attacked as he loosens his grip on the wounded winged girl.
"Looks like we are not alone. Legion, get alert! Find out whoever this is and stop them," he ordered.
Soon the green fluid would splat right in Reala's face after his statement. Some nearby Doras and Rhythm Robot Walkers would snicker at the sight despite wanting to not anger their superior. The unusual sight of this slime would remind the Legion that this may not be the work of a human and something such weirder. Eventually some squishy footsteps would be heard walking down the street before them. Even the defeated Rebecca would use what energy she had to try looking ahead of her. The figure would be something fairly short and looking quite cartoony with massive eyes and large shoes. Neff squints his purple eyes to try getting a better look at the weird creature approaching them from the dark streets. Pirika already starts gathering her electrical body to prepare shocking whatever this poser is approaching them. The wounded Magician could only turn his head at a good angle to take a better look at the one responsible for attacking him.
"Vait a minute. I know zat bug from anyvere!" Elise shouts.
Just a good look at the creature's smug grin and long antenna would remind her exactly who they would be dealing with here. The same spy she previously spotted in Wood Oak City last week. It would be none other than Bug, the only real source of his famous Bug Juice he splat on Reala and the cops to interrupt their cruel treatment of two innocent people. While he is an actor, he is also a kind hearted hero that would do anything to save those in need if it helps his fame for the career. His smile could only be one of someone who is victorious in his duty of saving someone to boost his esteem.
"Thank you, thank you! You all were a great audience. You are all fortunate enough to meet the rising star of Hollywood, Bug. At your service. Evil doers like you know better than to be bitchy like a certain spider broad that kidnapped my lady years ago," the green bug declares while walking like a star on the red carpet.
The annoyed Reala still continue to struggle taking the sticky substance off of his face due to its strength and dexterity. Rebecca would be too wounded to try escaping thanks to the heavy damage done rot her body. She would be thankful but still confused by the strange character that saved her and Sullivan. Neff only grew less confused and more angry that this unsightly weak creature had the nerve to interrupt some important business he shouldn't be involved in. Shadow would be confused on what would he be talking about with acting and how littler it did with his actions here. "Who the hell is this bug?" he wondered.
"Just a pest to be exterminated, let me be the one to burn him to ashes," Jet replied.
The jetpack powered man would begin flying at the green smug bug with his hot flamethrower prepared for deadly exterminations. Bug gargles his big green mouth to spit another round of Bug Juice at his flying enemy as he drew closer. The green material would clog up the nozzle of the flamethrower and glue Jet's hand tighter to the trigger.
"Wh..what the hell?" he exclaims.
Due to this and the blockading of the barrel, the heat would struggle to escape the flamethrower and slowly builds up. This is a special sticky juice that can't simply be melted away and aways stay stuck to anything.
"Knock it off, this isn't funny. Thanks to your green slop, met flamethrower will override and explode," he shouts in panic.
There is nothing the jetpack flying crime member could do about the inevitable build up to a fatal explosion from his own weapon. Neff could only grow angrier at this and focus on wanting to kill the green bug ahead of him before he had more chances to humiliate his group.
"You will regret ever making a fool of the Legion alone. Go to the Underworld!" the wizard shouts.
Bug could only laugh out loud at his last statement as if it were a joke and kick his feet in the air from the sheer hilarity. The laughter could only fuel Neff's never ending rage and desire to flatten the bug that dared laugh him off like he isn't serious.
"Who said anything about being alone. You supervillains are so funny when you underestimate how heroes always appear in numbers," the laughing bug said after wiping a tear from his eye.
A blue haired knight would appear before Neff with his shield ready to block the attack at full force. Neff would be surprised that something could stand up to his level of strength with only a shield. This knight would focus his blue eyes on the staggered beast before him and charged powerful magic within his famed Sword of Vermillion.
"Thou shall be slain by the one and only Prince Erik," the young knight stated.
He would attack Neff with a powerful thunder attack that sounds him in his open purple chest. The rhinoceros wizard could only bellow loudly as if he were a dying animal. The noise would be enough to get the attention of the other Legion members. But especially Really who finally peeled the green bug juice off his face to witness the shocking scene. Rebecca would be spotted slowly crawling her way toward the pit to save Sullivan despite her injuries and now that she would be completely free. The Nightmaren could only groan in the deepest anger and begin charging at her. A massive blue sword beam would knock him into the sky to stop his rampage.
"Reala! What happened to you!" Dark Raven called.
A massive soccer ball knocks the raven soccer onto his back from a fast kick.
"Master! You all will pay for this," Dark Corvo cried.
He would charge at Bug and the Knight only to be bosses away by a few plasma rounds from an unknown shooter. His body would flop against the solid ground with damaged wings and lay flat. With both ravens wounded, it would take longer for the Crow Portal to warp the remaining Legion members to the area. A long haired armored king appears with his massive broad sword along with a silver humanoid robot packed with a plasma rifle. Then a man in a business suit with a gray helmet appeared to spike a soccer ball with his knees. Big one die toy got back to his feet to look confident to his allies and salutes.
"Bug reporting for duty. Thanks for the back up, Scooter and Wein," he announced.
"Hey, don't forget that I scored the goal on that bird!" Football Manager shouts.
The blonde king smiled knowing his famous technique taken out of of the stronger Legion members.
"Good work, Bug. More of the team should be arriving soon. Not that I mind taking all of these conquerors on myself," Wein said with his sword ready for more action.
"My sensors are indicating the wait won't be too long," Scooter states after cocking his plasma rifle.
Von Twirlenkiller would be the first to strike back with one of his larger tornadoes to destroy all four of the intruders in sight.
"We will see if you fools can dodge this!" he yells.
Soon a massive rhinoceros beetle the size of a dinosaur would swoop down from the sky to pierce through the spiral of wind. The power of its large brown horn combined with its high speed were enough to stop the German assassin's deadly attack on its allies. The end result would be massive wings billowing against the heroes on one side and the villains on the other. Von Twirlenkiller would be knocked skyward by the beetle's mighty horn soon as it lands in front of him.
"Von Twirlenkiller? You giant shitty insect, I'll have my pets feed on you until you're a rotten exoskeleton!" the angry Elise shouts.
The beetle responds with a powerful war cry that echoes across the streets, this would even intimidate the flock of bats there were going to attack him head on. Elise would notice this and build in her intense hatred of the massive bug.
"Vell, don't just stand zere! Kill zat overgrown bloodless freak!" she shouts.
The bats would be attacked one by one by high speed Hercules beetles that were called by Mushiking.
"Vat?" she called.
More of these beetles would be flying down in a swarm to attack all villains in their path that's to the "king of beetles" calling for their aid. The many airborne Legion nooks struggle to fend off the hordes of winged warriors, their exoskeleton being too tough to pierce from their ranged and physical attacks. The stronger Legion members like Pirika could shock these bugs down with ease thanks to her electricity and Masa's telekinesis would also be proven troublesome for some. Saroid begins using a move similar to Shinespark to plow through these bugs and aim for taking down the massive leader that called them.
"Mushiking, look out!" Scooter called.
An American man with yellow goggles, a high tech suit, and special gun appears before his insectoid ally to defend him.
"Leave this one to me, I've covered plenty of invaders before and this one is no different," Micheal Ford declared.
Saroid ignores the human intruder and continue charging at both of them with her high speed body. He would also have a special weapon in hand that's fully charged as if he knew of how strong his enemies would be.
"Eat this, Strike Rifle Supreme!" Ford shouts.
A massive ray blast would be fired out of his gun that knocks Saroid off balance and back toward her allies. The armored warrior would roll her way back to the surprised feet of her Ninteldo allies. Elise would be under attack by the many Hercules beetles that still mercilessly attack her and her bat minions with their powerful horns. Even as a bloodsucker, the sight of her own blood frightens her as she fears the idea of dying.
"Please, stay away from me! I don't vant to be riddled vith holes on my beautiful body. Stop it!" she cried.
Pirika could only begin to lose her temper at the sight of her fallen ally. Fare would notice this and didn't want her younger ally to lose herself in rage.
"Pirika, listen to me! This may be hard for you, but these heroes are dangerous and we could lose you if..."
"Shut up! Saroid is like a sister to me and seeing her disrespected like this makes me mad. I'll fry every single one of these heroes, even if it kills me," the yellow warrior shouts with angry tears.
She would being sparking with massive amounts of electricity this time that evening her own allies backed away at a distance to avoid being shocked. This is a sign that she's preparing a deadly Volt Charge at the heroes.
"Pirika, listen to us! It's not worth putting yourself in harms way. Saroid fought bravely and she would be disappointed if you were to get hurt," the psychic boy warned.
Despite his requests, Pirika already charged on all fours with the high voltage intended to take out all of the heroes before. She lets out a sorrowful cry with vengeful eyes of a Killer on her enemies. Ford would already be looking through his gun selection to find a good weapon to deal with her as Mushiking just watch his Hercules swarm attack the villains before him. Scooter, Erik, Wein, and Bug would only avoid getting any closer at the risk of not getting in the way of any of their allies.
"Go to hell!" the sorrowful Pirika shouts.
An adult African American man and blonde woman would stand before Ford and Mushiking with their fists ready for battle. Ford would be disappointed since his thunder will be stolen before he could show off his arsenal more.
"It feels good to fight again. Especially with my son still out there in the clutches of these villains," Spike stated.
"Now we have worthy thugs to beat, like the little one who should learn her manners," Liona says with a grin.
The electrical girl didn't care about more intruders since it means more victims to shock with her best techniques.
"Are you ready, baby. Let's raise some hell," Spike called to his female partner in crime.
The two would get into a familiar pose together with their electrified target heading their way.
"Spikeout Spin Attack!" both yelled with their legs spinning around.
Their dual spin kick attack would be powerful enough to disrupt Pirika's attack and knock her backwards, with the high voltage electricity sparkling in all directions. Many Legion mooks and the sacrificial Hercules beetles would be shocked by the discharge. Shadow, Jet, Rocket, Elise, Fare and her wyvern mount, and the many inflatable rhinos would be electrocuted by the accidental attack from their own ally. Masa and Greedy defended themselves in time with their own shields for protection. Aoi Satan's Koubu taken enough damage from the shock, but not enough for his formidable mecha to stop fighting.
"This foolish display gone on long enough! Time for all of you to face my hellish wrath," the demonic warrior shouts.
His steam powered mech would lunge its way at the heroes before him with the massive blade ready for cleaving them all in two. A blonde superhero would jump his way in front of his allies in an extravagant hero suit, posing in a Sentai manner.
"You should had thought twice about your actions villain. Rent-A-Punch!" the hero shouts with yellow energy gathering in his hands.
Rent-A-Hero jumps at the raging mech and punched its cockpit with all the force he's gotten. The force would disrupt the speed the devious Aoi Satan's machine had and reversed it to push it backwards, pushing his body backwards within the inside.
"Damn you!" he swore.
The Koubu would be flying backwards at high speed from the superhero's strong punch. Neff would regain his senses from his last attack and noticed his flying ally at the last moment.
"What in...oof!"
The rhino sorcerer would be pushed back by the mech as a heavy loving projectile. Reala, who would regain his consciousness, would be smacked away by the flying Koubu that contains Aoi Satan and Neff.
"Wh...what the hell.. is wrong with you two?" he shouts.
Greedy and Masa stopped the two in time thanks to their powerful shields to slow down their impact, resulting in a massive explosion with masses of dust clouds forming.
"Mushiking, see if you can call more of your insect friends to start flying us out of here!" Wein called.
The giant insect nods and begin letting out another roar to alert any more beetles in the area. They had no helicopters to worry about as many of them were destroyed by a series of heat seeking blue beams that sliced through them like butter. This is the work of a massive Virtuaroid known as Temjin, know for his colorful white design and great all round stats. Another Virtuaroid would be slicing away at all the helicopters inflatable rhinos with her blade. This pink magical girl-esque mech is known as Fei-Yin, another popular Virtuaroid model that's commonly used by many. The two mechs were doing their job taking out all serious aerial forces to give their allies enough time to escape. A purple high speed space vehicle with yellow fins would also do its job assisting the two in clearing the heavily patrolled skies above Speed Highway. This is the work of Zaxxon Buster, a famous space exploration vehicle that ventured into the deep ends of space to explore an alien fortress manned by the Zaxxon race. More swarms of Hercules beetles arrived just in time to provide all heroes the time they needed to escape. Spiker and Liona helped up the wounded Sulllivan and Rebecca from their spots under orders of Erik to get everyone ready. Bug spits enough Bug Juice on the damaged street before him as a secondary way to slow down any pursuing villains.
"Great job, Spitbug. There's no way they can ruin our score for this game," Football Manager exclaimed.
"Thank you, I appreciate a good audience. But these new folks should sit tight to enjoy the show. The Great Escape," Bug replies in gratitude.
Wein and Scooter looked around the area to see if there were any more intruders in sight before they could leave. Ford uses his special device called the All-Seeing Eye to look around for any hidden or recovering enemies heading their way. One thing he could see is most of their villainous enemies being too wounded to move from their spot beneath the fog.
"They won't be recovering for a while. Let's get out of here with the help of our six legged friends," the man declared.
The many horned beetles finally arrived on the scene with their legs ready to grab the backs of anyone needing a ride.
"Awesome. We can all report back to base after this. We've seen enough here to justify a serious report," Erik said after sheathing his famed sword.
"Sam Gideon's going to like what we have to say. Now that we seen how horribly the citizens are treated here," Rent-A-Hero replies.
The beetles would begin picking up their human sized cargo one by one, slowly lifting them off the damaged street for a long flight. Rebecca and Sullivan were lifted by their own beetles, confused and wondering if these saviors were truly on their side. The glasses wearing man gazed at the swordsmen, bug, football manager, brawlers, and massive rhinoceros beetle that were flying. He wanted to say something, but didn't have the strength to talk from the severe damage he received this day. Rebecca would be confused as to who these people were, but personally glad that she wouldn't let her years of immortality go to waste. The swarm would quickly make its way towards the top of the massive buildings to follow their same path back to this base these heroes spoken of. The dust clouds would finally clear up to reveal all of the villains covered by mounds of deflated yellow rubber that covered them up. The several lumps that formed were villains trying to break from the heavy plastic of Rokkaku's dead earlier men. Bug could look one last time at the sight and laughs out loud as if he watched the best comedy film of his life.
"Get a load of these, poor villains. They're not even doing the best job at catching us," he cried in laughter.
"Bug, let's not get too cocky. One of them are bound to get from under there and go after us. Be on your guard," Erik warned.
"Oh really? That's unlikely when they wound up hurting themselves and got buried by their own henchmen. What's the worst that could happen?" the smug bug replied.
One massive lump would rise from the masses of yellow plastic rapidly at an impressive height. Eventually, it rips to reveal an angry Reala that wanted to find his next prey to attack. His crazed eyes and bared white fangs could show that he's once again ready to go for the kill instead of stalling anymore.
"Where are you? Show yourself! I'll gladly be the one to make your lives a living hell when I get my claws on you," the angered jester shouts.
Bug eventually screams in a cartoony manner with his bug eyes popping out and tongue waggling like a pink river at the sight. Ford sighs before taking out one of his best weapons to try fending their flying aggressor off.
"Another day, another bad guy to shoot from chasing me," the alien hunter disappointingly said.
Reala eventually caught wind of the swarm of beetles carrying the heroes away with the massive Mushiking as their guide. He eventually clutched his fist and dived at the runaway targets at full speed.
"Uh guys, we need to shake this crazy clown away from us! Hurry up!" the scared Bug begs.
"Way ahead of you. Just got the right gun for the job," Ford replied.
The weapon he held is of alien origin and resembled no weapon you would use on Earth. With his eyes on the pursuing Reala and a steady hand, he fires what appears to be a swarm of alien bugs out of the fleshy nozzle of the gun.
"Get a taste of the Hive Cannon and don't forget to rub some cream for your stings!" he called.
The alien bees would swarm around Reala to make sure he had nowhere to escape.
"What are these bugs? I have no time to play any games with these insignificant insects," the confused Nightmaren says.
Eventually he would be engulfed in a series of rapid succession explosions from the ravenous alien bugs. Bug and the others would cringe at the painful backfire that occurred behind them.
"Yeeesh, that's going to leave a mark," Bug replies in mental pain.
The beetles continue carrying their living cargo further away from the city in less than a second. Soon afterwards, the two Virtuaroids and Zaxxon Buster ship would behind their flight in their direction with many choppers defeated in the city rooftops. Rebecca could only get a good glimpse of the shrinking city below her now that's she's out of harms way thanks to unlikely allies she never would hands expected. She would still be in no mood to move thanks to the severe injuries she received from the Legion. Scarred, bloodied, and not given enough time to recover from the blood she last tasted down below. She really wanted to express her gratitude in some way, but know that her vocabulary to too limited to talk like a human. Sullivan would still struggle to grasp that he's being carried away by a large bug into the sky and barely alive to try begging it to drop him. Instead he would focus on just enjoying the ride now that he's safe from any further harm. Wein and Erik would be relived that everyone is safe and unharmed from their close encounter in Speed Highway.
"Not to worry, the two of you are in good hands. The boss would like to personally speak with you in person. He's just got a few important questions to ask about your reasons to spy on the Legion," Ford explains.
Sullivan would be in no energy to talk and would rather save his energy for when he can rest up. Rebecca could only utter a few grows to try explaining herself to her rescuers. Bug could only squint being the clueless bug he is at this scene.
"Ok, can you please repeat what you said? Because I don't speak Lassie," Bug replied.
"She's perhaps not even human at all. Her friend with the glasses is probably the one we should ask about her speech," Erik suggests.
"That's a great idea. But let's not be too hasty. These two had a long day and need the time to recover. It's our sworn dirty to protect these two while we can," Rent-A-Hero said in a triumphant tone.
Rebecca however would fall asleep to preserve what little energy he has left for another time. Sullivan once again sighs before closing his eyes to avoid looking down from the great height. Mushiking lets out another loud roar to alert his Hercules soldiers that this will be a long flight until they can rest. Several of the Legion below would escape from the large hole Reala tore in the pile of deflated animal floats. Many of them feeling great embarrassment and anger at their defeat. A good deal of them would look at Pirika and Aoi Satan as if it were their fault for getting their allies into this mess. Fare would be in the middle of tending her wyvern's wounds.
"There there, you will fly again soon. And they will pay dearly for hurting you," she said.
The Magician would be the most upset, with his body severely damaged and in need of healing to avoid another death.
"Where is that scientific fool? I need that healing serum badly," he snarls.
Dark Raven and Dark Corvo would be back to their feet with something important in mind, finishing their work of making a complete crow portal for their allies. Rocket would notice a charred body of his fallen ally due to the slime clogging his flamethrower that blew his entire body up. Most Syndicate goons would survive worse, but this especially did more than enough damage to the frail heavily clothed body of the jetpack flying man. He could feel nothing but anger the more he stared at his unconscious burned ally, swearing revenge on the heroes that did this to him.
"Damn them bastards! They mess with the Syndicate, they will have their heads served in a box especially for our boss Mr. X. He would not like this if he were to be here," he cried in anger.
"Patience, my rocket flying friend. When our crow allies finish with the portal, everyone will be here to see the mistake that happened. One day, we will make all of our enemies grovel to the filthy dirt like the animals they are," Neff said.
Greedy would still have his eyes on the two villains that messed everything for their group with his yellow eyes.
"You two are the reason they all gotten away. Being reckless and endangering your own fellow Legion members. Even worse, the few living cops we had on our side are not going to get back up thanks to you all. Especially you, Aoi Satan. I don't care if Death Adder brought you back from the dead, but you've proven once again just how useless you are!" he beamed.
Just hearing the words "useless" would build some killing intend in the blue haired demon within his mech. He's trying his best to hold in any anger and not strike someone he's sworn to work with. Pirika could only do nothing but sit and cry at how horribly she messed things up for everyone. Unfortunately Masa and Fare could do nothing to defend their ally since Marcus wants this alliance to never fall apart. Thanks to the work of twin crow sorcerers, the portal would finally be working well as planned.
"Who will be the one to report the bad news first?" Dark Raven asked.
So, alot had happened. As you could tell, Death Adder cheats death with a ground of newly revived Legion members to assist the living ones that were resting after their last fight. Reala would be most pleased and thankfuly until he heard that Rowen wanted nothing to do with them anymore for reforming. His men would not take kindly to that and retaliates with the help of another man who knew the Cardinal well. However their efforts failed and Rebecca would be the one to try saving her only friend from being captured. Both were outnumbered and wounded until a new group led by Wein and Bug joined in to save them. Now a heads up, these characters are from very old and obscure properties like SpikeOut, Bug, Sword of Vermillion, Zaxxon, Virtual-On, Alien Storm, Dragon Force, Mushiking, and Rent-A-Hero. This is all about Sega All Stars and Vyse did say they would need more help for the future final conflict with the Legion. Tune in next Saturday to see an exciting chapter. See you later!
