Chapter 85: Battle of The Warriors Part 3
Note: Readers please listen to Samurai Warriors 2 Annihilation Battle while reading this:
As I lie there getting shot at, I decide to let Noh fire all of her rounds before she has to reload, but I find that as she shoots at us both as well as gloating and laughing, each shot that hits us are quite painful and it becomes more and more difficult not to show the pain we're suffering.
At least after a short while of this I find that Noh has fired all of her bullets, but instead of reloading which I hoped she would do, she holsters her gun and equips her claws on her hands. Despite the difficulty due to the pain of my chest from her shotgun, I slowly manage to get up before aiming my gun at her.
Just as Noh's finished putting her claws on and staring at Oichi ready to strike, I fire shot after shot before I charge towards this vile woman. As I charge at her, Oichi manages to get up and does her best to ignore the pains of her injuries, as she fires her pistols at this wretched witch.
As I run as fast as I can hoping that I can strike while she heads towards Oichi, hoping that she can scratch her pink target, as the Azai lady tries to dodge from Noh's strikes, eventually Noh notices my attack and so she strikes her claw in the air, forcing me to stop in my tracks. It eventually becomes a fight between my make shift spear, and Noh's deadly claws which she's swinging constantly, forcing me to be cautious with my weapon. Due to her claws being large and her managing to use them effectively, I struggle to find an opening and I am forced to keep my distance, as I use my spear in hopes of at least keeping her on the defensive.
A short while later although we are both staring at each other, and we attempt to strike at each other, for the most part it's just occasional movements where I dodge and she deflects, after trying to strike at our respective opponents. I dare not risk getting scratched out and although she strikes at me more frequently, I just try and dodge out of the way and try and strike back, hoping to force her on the defensive.
I try and reload my weapon too but even my quick speed is not enough, as I'm forced to abandon my attempt, and react accordingly to her attacks with her claws. As this fighting goes on I no longer hear Oichi firing her pistols at Noh, which unfortunately have done little to divert the Oda witch's attention. I then hear the sounds of Oichi trying to reload both of her pistols as quickly as she can, though without perk a colas and the fact that she has two pistols to reload, she does take a fair amount of time.
After she finishes reloading, instead of firing her pistols again she resorts to a new tactic, which is to try and get the shotgun off of Noh's back. I do my best to keep this joke in purple Noh distracted for as long as possible, but the moment her shotgun is felt by Oichi, Noh notices immediately. And while my female ally manages to pull the shotgun away, soon afterwards Noh furiously spins around striking Oichi with her claws with such force, that Oichi falls to the ground with marks on her body causing blood to ooze out.
Noh then slowly picks up the shotgun and holsters it before laughing, as she shows off her claws which are dripping with Oichi's blood, only to then suck her claws before making noises showing she enjoys the taste. This I find absolutely revolting and in fact it makes me angry, I then quickly reload my gun only to then fire my rifle at her.
By the time I manage to fire one bullet however, Noh stops acting smug and attempts to fight me once again. Although I know Oichi should still be alright despite the deadly blow, I am concerned that it will take a fair bit of time before she's on her feet, and in a condition to fight some more. I soon realise that despite what that wretched woman has done, I cannot be angry as it will cause me to make mistakes as I try and defeat her, as I find that I'm having to use my rifle carefully while I deal with Noh, who is trying to strike me down with her claws. Eventually as I once again try and keep my distance from her claws, she manages to knock my rifle using her claws with such force, that it falls from my hand.
Ideally I would rush to retrieve my rifle but it is then I see that Noh is too close to it, and will no doubt strike me down. This isn't ideal and I guess I'm left with no choice but to hope that by now, Oichi will be able to fight Noh. Just as I feared however, Noh manages to shoot me in the ankle knocking me over. It is then that I'm clutching my ankle in pain which is bleeding quite badly concerning me quite a bit, though afterwards she then throws the rifle towards me, hitting my ankle.
I find this to be very painful, more so than before as I do my best to conceal my screams in pain. I notice this ugly hag looking very smug as she's smiling and laughing, but afterwards Oichi starts shooting at Noh in the back with her pistols. Although this doesn't harm Noh that much, it does distract her as she now attempts to deal with Oichi.
With Noh distracted I am now free to see to my ankle as it's full of blood gushing out, causing me to scream in silence as I try not to yell in pain. I do the best I can to pull the bayonet of the rifle out of my crippled ankle, though it does take a while and I know that my health is diminishing by a fair amount. Eventually after what felt like a long while of pain and agony and torture, I manage to get the rifle pulled out but for now I'm exhausted, I don't feel I have the energy or the strength to carry on at least for the moment. Despite the fact that I still have plenty of health, even though I have been hit a few times and quite badly, I am in serious agony right now and I need to recover.
I decide to spend a few minutes recovering as I watch Oichi do her best in fighting against Noh. As I see Noh trying to attack Oichi, I notice how the pink lady manages to out run and even tire out her nemesis, as the Oda witch is much slower than the lady of Azai, and since Oichi has pistols compared to Noh's claws, Oichi is able to attack Noh from a much further distance.
It is then I notice that Noh realises this, and so she resorts to using her shotgun again as she knows she'll be within range. She reloads her gun as quickly as she can but she can only put in one shell at a time. I guess there's nothing for it but to fight again, as although I'm still in pain at least it's more bearable as I have rested it for a bit.
Rather than open fire against her again while her back is turned, I decide to throw my make shift spear as best I can against her back. With luck it will be difficult for her to remove it at that place, and hopefully we can perhaps pin her and defeat her that way. I do in fact manage to throw it at her back and now she drops her shot gun, as the bayonet lands in her back and piercing through it.
She then staggers around yelling in pain as she tries so hard to grab the rifle, but even if she holds the rifle, pulling it out proves to be a difficult task for her as blood comes gushing out from her wound. Ideally we would have liked for either one of us to retrieve the shotgun, but she stands too close and even if she's wounded, she'd still be able to strike us with her claws.
All Oichi can do is just fire both of her pistols at Noh, while taking advantage of the situation. At the same time however, the Oda female manages to pick up the shotgun and fires it at Oichi, knocking her to the ground. She then fires the shotgun at me with which the shot sends me down to the ground. After that our enemy would then fall to the ground on her front before concealing the shotgun, so that we cannot get at it. She then attempts to pull the bayonet from off her back with both of her hands, though this isn't easy and the pain proves to be rather unbearable for her.
This would have been a good chance to take advantage of the situation, but sadly it isn't to be as we were knocked to the floor and our chests are hurting us a bit. As a matter of fact by the time we do manage to get up to attack Noh, Oichi only manages to fire a few shots at her before Noh uses her shotgun again, sending her sister in law back down to the ground. I hate how I could do nothing as I know her claws would protect her from me.
Noh then finishes off getting the bayonet from her back, which is completely covered in her blood before she then conceals it with her body, while she lies there in an attempt to recover from the agonising pain. I am deeply concerned as now she has my weapon, and we haven't done much damage to her at all. There is also the matter of where Nobunaga Oda is, because if he arrives to fight by his wife's side, as much as I hate to admit it we probably wouldn't stand a chance against them.
Oichi manages to get up and fire her pistols again at Noh, but all Noh does is just holster my rifle and reload her shotgun, as the bullets do little to no damage to her. At the exact moment I get up while she does this, she just shoots me down with her shotgun. As I lie on my back knowing full well what will happen to me if I dare to get up, I watch in horror as I know what Noh intends to do.
She playfully pumps her shotgun after reloading it before firing shell after shell after shell at Oichi until she has run out of bullets. My female ally does her best not to scream in pain as she's constantly being shot in the guts by the shotgun, although despite her best efforts I think the 3 of us know how much pain she's in, and it sickens me and upsets me to see this. After that she moves towards my ally, reloading her shotgun, only to then get out my rifle and throw it at Oichi's gut causing her even more agony. Before Oichi can move her arms in hopes of at least removing the bayonet of her rifle from her stomach, her arms get shot by the shotgun, making them too painful for her to move them.
I have to do something, but I need to ensure that I can get the rifle off of Oichi's poor tummy, and to stop Noh from killing her sister in law. At least Noh is distracted right now as she gloats, taunts and laughs as she sees her rival lying there covered in blood, desperate not to cry, desperate not to scream in pain and desperate not to show she's at her mercy. I then manage to slowly but surely creep behind Noh before with my right leg; I do a deadly low kick on Noh's left ankle, forcing Noh to fall on her front.
Although I know this won't do much damage if any, I just need her distracted while I pull the rifle out as Oichi is unfortunately she's in too much pain to do so herself. I manage to reach Oichi and pull out the rifle with minimum effort relieving me very much, but it's not long after that before I find that Noh has gotten up, and so it's lucky that I manage to run away before Noh can strike me down.
I remember how even though Oichi is in a rough shape as she's been shot in the chest a few times, as well as on her arms and legs, not to mention how she's been stabbed in the stomach, and her clothes are completely covered in her blood and I think it's fair to say that she has lost a fair amount of it, she still manages to smile at me for rescuing her, and my HUD tells me that she is less than 50% health now.
The problem is apart from Oichi's poor health, is that despite the fact that I've not just retrieved the rifle from Oichi's stomach but I'm now armed once again, there is still the issue that my ally is at her sister in law's mercy, indeed this is a fact that Noh takes advantage of. She then smiles as she begins to reload her shotgun again, but just as she's about to put a shell in, I fire at her with my rifle using up all the bullets in my current clip. Unfortunately it's not long I have to reload and although I have spare clips and I can reload quickly, I can't afford to give her the chance to finish Oichi off for good, and I know that it will be a while before my ally will be able to recover for long enough, to continue the fight.
I then make a quick decision, once again I decide to throw my rifle at her but this time I intend to throw it at her leg in hopes that it won't just stop her in her tracks, but the pain will make it difficult for her to continue standing, and therefore not being able to do any more harm to either myself or Oichi.
I do in fact manage to successfully throw the rifle, and it does indeed hit Noh in her right knee. She does her best not to scream in pain, but the impact does cause her to drop her shotgun after reloading a single shell, and due to the pain of her knee and it being far too agonising for her to stand, she is forced to crouch down so that she can attempt to pull the rifle out, despite the immense suffering she's in right now.
She ends up screaming in pain which pleases me as now she's finally at the receiving end of her sadistic acts, but what does worry me is how many people has she tortured and killed, and what exact torture was she intending to do against Oichi, had I not managed to save her? This concerns me quite a bit but I must focus now as if I don't, then we'll be her next victims as opposed to being the ones to stop her. After the brief thought of concern and enjoyment, I then do my best to take the advantage as I pick up the shotgun she has dropped, before firing at her hideous boobies.
The impact of the shotgun shell is powerful enough to knock her on the floor as she screams in pain, before she's lies on her back and her boobies are then soaked in blood at the very least, and her knee is also full of blood which is pouring out a lot from where the bayonet is. I then holster the shotgun before pulling out the rifle out of her knee, only for me to reload my rifle again. This is looking good as for the first time she's been knocked to the floor, and now she has a significant injury which should slow her down. Perhaps now it's just a matter of killing her in the most painful way possible as her punishment, and for revenge for all of her poor innocent victims who had no choice but to suffer her wrath. I only hope that my friend, my ally Oichi can get revenge too and be able to recover after all the horrors she was forced to witness, and after everything she has been through.
It is then however that I realise that I was better off leaving the bayonet in her knee while it was causing much damage and pain, as oddly enough with enough strength, she manages to get up as I fire a few shots from my rifle at her chest, causing it to leak with blood from the wounds. It does shake my confidence and it does concern me deeply, as although her knee clearly hurts her, she is able to stand on both legs looking confident. What makes it worse is I only have one clip left for my rifle, so I guess it won't be long before it will be a claw spear fight again, until Oichi feels able to get up, but after the constant shooting in various parts of her body, as well as having a bayonet stuck in her gut for a short while, I'm unsure how soon it will be.
I fire the remaining bullets from my rifle at her before it then becomes a matter of fighting her claws with my spear, which I'm not looking forward to. I suppose I can keep my distance from her, but the problem is I have no more bullets so while I'll be stalling for time before Oichi is ready, it'll also be more time for Nobunaga to come and what's to stop Noh from heading to Oichi, to finish off her sadistic desires, if I just keep my distance from her? I guess I have no choice but to keep fighting although I do grow concerned, that she'll be able to overpower me if I am to fight with my makeshift spear.
Indeed my concerns are confirmed as I fight her, and I find myself working hard to protect myself as I'm on the defensive, as she's always able to block my attacks with both of her claws. Eventually we get up to a point where I attempt to stab her with my rifle, but she then blocks it with both her claws effectively holding it amongst them.
It then becomes a tug of war as I struggle to pull my rifle away, while she tries to remove the rifle from my hands. Although I am much stronger, the way the claws are used make it so that it's not easy for the rifle to move inside, but oddly enough I am just able to pull the rifle out of the claws. Eventually we both have a brief stare down and despite the frustration and exhaustion of keeping up this fight, I manage to pull a defiant face to my enemy as she just stands there smirking, doing her absolute best to ignore the pain she's suffering right now.
I take a quick look to see if Oichi is alright and from the signs of her body language, despite the unbelievable pain she is in, she'll be brave and get up to continue fighting soon, though how soon I'm not sure. After the brief pause we are then fighting again, only this time I notice that I'm only fighting with one of her claws. I have a sneaky feeling that she has a trick up her sleeve, and a trick she does because at a convenient moment, she throws her knife at my right thigh which sticks into my thigh, hurting me quite a bit as well as distracting me from the task at hand.
Ideally I would like to throw my rifle at her to buy time, but with her claws she's bound to deflect it. If I spend time trying to pull out the knife, I'll have to use my rifle with one hand making it harder to fight her, with which it can make the difference, and if I just carry on fighting and ignore the wound from the knife, then it will only be a matter of time before it takes its toll on me. I decide the former as hopefully by now Oichi will be back in business, I then do my best in deflecting Noh's attack while pulling the knife out of my thigh.
Although I do manage to pull the knife out of my thigh, Noh suddenly grabs my rifle with both of her claws, and before I'm able to respond to the situation appropriately, she knocks the rifle from my hand. I guess this is it, she perhaps intends to stab me with her claws or strike me down or something like that. Instead she rushes over to pick up the rifle which unfortunately is closer to her than it is to me, due to where she has knocked my weapon.
I try to slow her down and throw the knife into her back, but although it hurts her, it does little to stop her moving before she picks up the rifle only to then quickly throw it at my chest, knocking me over. It is now I'm lying on my back as the bayonet causes me some serious pain, and I am unable to conceal it as I squeal in such agony as my blood comes gushing out. Soon afterwards Noh then stabs my right thigh again with the knife, only to then kick my side so that she can take the shotgun that was on my back before she laughs loudly.
"Well well it looks like I am the winner; you know I always had great pleasure in giving the people I deal with exactly what they deserve. And for you two I think it will bring me the most pleasure of all." Noh speaks while boasting like the sadist that she is.
After which I then see her reload her shotgun again. Perhaps she intends to use this to give us the most painful, the most horrific death possible.
"You know you two are so cute when you cry out in pain and scream, it makes a very nice melody for me. At least when you have both died you can die knowing that your punishment was enough, and your crimes are forgiven." The sad sadistic sadist speaks.
"Oh no you don't, you won't defeat us!" Oichi speaks loudly in defiance as she does her best to stand and fight, despite the poor condition that she's in.
Oichi grunts with aggression as she fires her pistols at Noh, only for her to just calmly fire a shotgun which knocks Oichi to the ground once again. I just know it's going happen just like last time only I have managed to avoid it. I know I'm in immense pain but so is she, and we're both going to die unless I save her, but first I need to save myself from my seemingly inevitable death.
Despite the pain I'm in right now and the torture I have experienced throughout this battle, I press on as I pull the bayonet from me as best I can even though it hurts me very much. The thing is I find it hard to believe how much blood I've lost and how much suffering I have had to endure, and yet still I'm going and still I have a good amount of health. But despite the situation it still worries me and it worries me even more about Oichi's health, as I cannot allow my friend, perhaps my saviour to die at the hands of this pathetic excuse of a woman.
It's not long before the worst of the pain I have right now is over, as now I have managed to pull the rifle out of me although it does make me feel exhausted from doing so. Soon afterwards I then pull out the knife, but I quickly realise that even though I feel like it, I cannot just lie and recover not while Oichi needs rescuing. And so with all of my might, my courage and what energy I have left, I get up and rush towards their location, only for me to then quickly throw my rifle at Noh once again.
My rifle hits Noh in the side with such force that it knocks her over causing her to fall and land on her side, where the side of her chest is bleeding heavily and she's groaning in agonising pain. She wastes no time in attempting to pull out the rifle which is stuck in but the moment I see her, I quickly throw the knife which goes through her left lower arm, causing her to scream in agony.
Despite the knowledge that she will no doubt be dying soon, she continues to fight as she does her best to pull the knife out her arm with her hand. Next she attempts to pull the rifle out though due to the amount of blood lost, the amount of pain her body had to tolerate, and the amount of health she no longer has, it's a real challenge for her.
By this point Oichi has managed to get up, though I feel that she can only manage to fight for a short while before her body can't take any more of it. Hopefully though it should be just enough for her to do her bit in taking down this sadistic joke.
Oichi Azai then opens fire, firing a few shots at Noh's head before firing the rest of the bullets in her clips at Noh's stomach, as the villainess tries her best to pull the rifle out of her side with limited success. Unlike with before the pistol bullets hurt Noh a lot now, as she screams in agony after each pull of the trigger, creating holes all over her stomach as well as her face with what's left of her blood pouring out.
I notice that Oichi needs to reload her pistols, but instead of doing so she gets out a toy car and a controller for it which is concealed in her dress, only for her to place the toy car on the ground before she drives it with the remote control, with a playful smile.
It intrigues me when I see that the toy car resembles the RCXD from Black Ops, as it has four wheels, a body, as well as what looks like two boxes one of which consisting of various components which I can only assume to be a motor, a circuit board, a drive mechanism, and a steering mechanism, while the other box has what I can only guess to be explosives.
She drives the car as it then beeped which produces a green light towards Noh, only to drive it on her body and park at her chest where her ugly boobies are. After which Oichi would then leave it parked there.
While I am sure that our enemy would have the means to remove the car of her body, I think she's resigned to her fate as she realises that her health is too low, her body is in too much pain, and the pain makes it too difficult for her to move her body. She cannot take any more punishment, which is a shame as I'm sure she dished out a lot more to her innocent victims. Once again I see that just like with Plutia, although they love to dish out their torture and their abuse to the innocent men, women and children in the most unimaginable horrific ways, whenever they have no choice but to take it as their victims demand this, those sadistic villains cannot take it.
Although Noh is resigned to her fate, it doesn't stop her from wanting to embrace it, in fact for the first time she doesn't just scream even if it's louder than before, she's now begging, confessing, admitting to her guilt in hopes she's forgiven. But the beeps just get louder and we both know all too well, that such a wicked female who has done such horrible, vile evil acts to the good cannot be forgiven just like that. No she has to be punished for what she done, she has to be at the receiving end of what she has done. She cannot be allowed to live for what's to stop her trying to escape, allowing her to cause even more deaths, more inhumane crimes and misery. This is the only way and even with this, I think its way too good for someone like her.
"This is for all of the countless innocent lives you have took, tortured, raped as well as to have done things to them that are too revolting to specify. This is also for how you tried to brainwash me into joining you, as well as for how you claim responsibility for the deaths of my lord Nagamasa, and my lord Katsuie. This is what you get for your atrocities against the innocent, and this is what you get for teaming up with Plutia, arguably the most evil villainess in all of Gameindustri." Oichi announces with anger as well as joy in seeing justice being served.
"I told you, you wouldn't be leaving this place alive as well as how we'd be giving you a professional make over. Hmmm I think your looks are getting better already, though the finishing touch will occur in just a matter of seconds." I say in a similar tone to my ally, only for us both to walk off leaving her to her well-deserved demise.
The car beeps more vigorously, indicating the time decreasing and decreasing as Noh begs and pleads for her worthless life, wishing that we can move the car and rifle away so that she can rest and be allowed to live, despite her intentions of ending ours in the most cruel, most horrific, most terrible way that she can.
Noh knows that we have won, we are victorious and though I don't feel pity by any stretch of the imagination, I find it odd how she begs for her life. And yet the fact that she doesn't remove the toy car or even continue to remove the rifle from her body as it reduces her health, suggests that she's resigned to her fate. Perhaps she knows her time is up and she only has one card left, which is the hope that we'd be merciful and spare her after showing her, her own humiliation but why should we when she wasn't merciful herself?
Despite the sustained injuries we have, despite the loss of health and of the pain we've endured in this conflict, I have saved Oichi and we have slain Noh. This is quite the achievement as she is one of Planeptune's most vile, evil people and now she is gone. With this death, this victory, Gameindustri as a whole should at least be a bit safer as there's one less murderous sadistic torturer and killer to worry about.
Even if it's a bit I now see that there is more hope, especially with how Oichi a representation of benign and goodness, is safe which relieves me no end, and how her enemy a representation of evilness is gone for good. I would like to think that Oichi will be able to help stop my brainwashing, and perhaps she may know what really happened in the nightmare I was shown, but I know we're not out of the woods yet as we have yet to face her brother, and I don't think we have the health, the stamina, the energy, the strength or the means to defeat him. I can only hope that the both of us can survive against Nobunaga as although at least I can be revived, I know that Oichi will not be able to as the perk a colas has been used up to break her brainwashing, and it would be sad to see her die after I've rescued her and defeated her sister in law.
As I think about these various thoughts racing through my mind, the sound of the beeping getting even more frequent helps me to think of our next plan of action, I can tell from the beeping that it's now 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
