... I have no idea how to drive this tank." Said Tiburon as he, Samedi, SEKR, Raven, Artemis, Superboy and Miss Martain were looking around on the tank's interior.
But before anyone could respond, they all heard a voice over them.
"Hey guys!"
They all turned around defensively, only to see X standing there and looking into the tank.
"Good distraction you made. Where did you lead them?" Artemis asked.
"We just gave them the slip as all... No biggie." X said as he rubbed his shirt with his knuckles and breathed on it confidently.
Xxx
All the Butts were led into a geyser field and lost their meals.
One of the Butts turned to its friends and chirped. "(Translation: I think we lost them.)"
"(Translation: Shut up and keep looking! I'm not gonna let some meat go to waste and give us the slip!)" Another Butt yelled back as he turned around and stuck his face near a large geyser. "(Translation: WHERE ARE YOU!?)"
FROOSH!
As the eruption ended and the dust settled... The Butt's face was completely black and cooked, along with the rest of his skin.
"(Translation: Well, at least I have my personality...)"
Xxx
"Anyway, does anyone know how to drive this tank?" X asked as he jumped in.
"Yes, I do. But don't touch any-" Extor was interrupted.
"Hey, what's this do?" X asked as he walked over to the front of a tank and pressed a button, that caused the cannon to fire.
BOOM!
"THAT'S... NOT... HELPING...!" Growled Tiburon through his teeth at X who smiled back at him nervously as Extor face palmed himself.
"Okay, if we're done pressing unknown buttons at random, I suggest we get moving." Extor as he made his way to the controls of the tank. "Before we get moving, does anybody have any questions?"
He looked back to see nobody raising their hands except for X who was holding a coloring book in his hands.
"... Clifford is red, X."
X went back to work on the coloring book as Extor started driving the tank. Everyone sat down and waited as X took them through a rocky terrain that would take about at least half a day to get through. They finally made it behind enough foliage covering them as they were close to the main entrance of the building with two living guards in front of it, along with ten robots wondering around it.
"Okay... Several guards around the front, not to mention two machine gun and missile turrets on the sides of the two giant metal doors..." Extor observed
"It's already a miracle how Van Kleiss hasn't detected us! With all the technology he has..." Samedi commented.
"I brought a signal scrambler device to make sure that none of his security systems detect us." Extor said, smiling.
"Okay, that's great and all, but how are we going to get past the guards?" Tiburon asked.
"Oh! I have an idea! X said as he reached into Extor's pocket and started digging.
"Can I help you!?" Extor yelled as X finally pulled out what looked like a grenade and smiled as he held it.
"I think I have an idea guys." X said while everyone was looking at him cautiously.
"X! Don't even think about it! We already have the advantage of stealth!" Extor demanded.
"We're driving in a tank! You call that stealth!?" X retorted.
"No, but if that Fortress is as armed as it looks, maybe it'll be a good idea to just find another way in." Artemis answered.
"Hmm... What if there was a setting that can just knock the guards and turrets out?" Miss Martian suggested.
"What kind of stupid-" Keanu was interrupted.
"Actually, there is one on the grenade Keanu. A setting made to stun all opponents and oppositions, no matter who they are." Extor said as he took the grenade from Keanu and started changing the setting on it.
"But what about inside? Won't it be filled with Van Kleiss's army?" Artemis asked.
"Yes, but I'm sure if we can-
Beep!
Extor stopped as he heard a beeping sound coming from the grenade in his hands. "Uh oh..."
"What is it!?" Rino asked, knowing how bad it gets when Extor says 'Uh oh'.
"I... Might have accidentally set it to an explosive setting equal to that of eighty pounds of C-4..." Extor asked as Keanu screamed and took the grenade away from him and threw it out of the opening of the tank and in front of the guards who were standing in front of the metal doors.
As the grenade started beeping, the two Red Cap guards and the robots looked over at it with curious looks... Until the beeping increased.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The explosion was so powerful that it blew all the guards back and blew the giant heavy metal doors off of their hinges as they fell to the ground.
"Well... There goes stealth..." Artemis sighed as the alarms started to go off.
"Then let's get this thing moving!" Yelled Baron as Scotty took ahold of the controls and started to make the tank move forward and through the open gate.
Though they were barely going over thirty miles per hour.
"Come on! Kick it into high gear!" Keanu yelled.
"This is the tanks top speed." Scotty replied.
"I can get out and run faster than this!" Keanu yelled again.
"Then what will we do?!" Asked Artemis as Keanu started to scratch his chin thinking as the tank started to become under fire.
"Hey, Lab Coat! Do ya still have those boosters on your boots?" Keanu asked.
"Well yes but-"
"Attach them to the back of the tank on full blast!"
"W-What-"
"Just do it!" Keanu yelled.
"Alright..." Extor said, unsure as the metal came out from under Extor's clothes and covered his feet and legs.
As he turned to his watch and spoke into it. "Jack! Redirect the thrusters on my boots to the butt of the tank and turn the ignition up!"
"Right away!" A computerized voice said as Extor's boots flew off of his feet and out of the tank connecting to the tail end of it while Artemis looked over at Extor in shock and surprise.
"What haven't you made?"
But before Extor could even think up a response, the thrusters on the tank ignited as the war machine was propelled forward as blinding speeds.
"WOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone screamed as the tank propelled its way through EVO, other structures near the tower, and other war machines that were stored around the military base.
However the tank was speeding around a hundred mph, it managed to his something sturdy enough that it managed to flip the tank over as it started to spin and tumble.
Crash!
Clang!
Crash!
Bam!
Fling!
All the while, Robin Redcap Junior is leaning against an armored vehicle as the Red Caps start unloading more stolen weapons and supplies they took.
"Come on! Put your backs into it! We need to get this stuff to Van Kleiss so he won't have our heads." But as the Red Caps were unloading supplies and Robin was chewing on the toothpick in his mouth, all of them heard several crashing and tumbling noises, and as they looked over they all saw a tank tumbling out of control towards the tower as Junior and the Red Caps looked in surprise and shock.
"... Waking up today... I didn't think I was going to see anything like this..." One of the Red Caps said as Junior's toothpick fell out of his mouth as his jaw dropped, but after a second, he got his senses back as he clenched his robotic hand in anger.
"... I think we're gonna have some company, lads..." Robin said as he turned around and started to dig through the armored vehicle. "And if it's those bloody Hunters again... I have just the thing to take care of them."
To make his point, Robin pulled out a huge metal silver case as he looked down at it with an evil smile.
"I think I'm gonna be sick!" Extor yelled as the tank was still tumbling.
"Not while being flung around the cabin like this you're not!" Scotty yelled as the tank made its final tumbles, finally making a stop as it was flipped on its side.
As everyone started to pick themselves back up, they looked around dizzy and shaken up.
"Is... Is everyone okay?..." Tiburon asked, feeling very dizzy while getting up.
"I think I'm deceased..." Extor muttered picked himself back up.
"Hehe... Hey guys, if ya find any teeth lying around... They're mine..." A very shaken Keanu said as he passed out again.
"HAHAHA! Let's do it again!" Rino cheered.
"Oh man... I haven't been on a ride like that in a while..." Artemis said dizzily.
"Now I remember why I never went on a roller coaster, no matter how much Beast Boy tried to get me on one." Raven muttered as she sat up.
"Alright, I think everyone's okay." Baron said as he dusted himself off.
"That's great, but now we have to deal with a hail of bullets the second we exit the tank." Scotty said.
"Oh, don't worry guys! I came prepared!" Rino said as he opened up his Suitcase to reveal a parachute as he pulled the string releasing the parachute. As it fell to the floor, Ed looked at everyone with an awkward silence before speaking again.
"Don't worry guys I brought a backup chute!" Rino said as he pulled another parachute out his Suitcase and pulled the string…
Only for the same result to occur.
"We're most likely already surrounded... Make sure you prepare your weapons, I have a plan on getting out of here without being chopped up into hamburger..." Scotty said as everyone leaned into listen.
Outside the ruined war machine, Van Kleiss's army started to converge in heavily armored terrain vehicles with cannons attached to the front surrounded the tank.
"Alright! You have five seconds to pick your sorry caucuses up and step out of the tank with your hands behind your heads and on your knees! THREE! TWO!..." The Red Cap with the megaphone waited another second as he gestured to the armored vehicle to ready their weapons.
"ONE-"
"WAIT!" A pair of hands with black sleeves come out from the opening of the tank as Baron Samedi walked out with his hands in the air. As Artemis, Keanu, Extor, Rino, Scotty, and Tiburon followed while curiously Miss Martian, Superboy, X and Raven were nowhere to be found.
"Okay, okay... We surrender..." Baron said as all seven of them lined up, all with their hands in the air.
"Now get on the ground with your hands behind your backs freaks! NOW!"
But just as all of them were about to do just that, from Scotty's sleeves popped out two handles as he grabbed them and pressed the trigger on them as it emitted a sound that caused all of Van Kleiss's forces to throw their hands over their ears to block out the painful shriek.
SHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Right as the EVO and soldiers were in pain and distracted by the sound. Scotty pressed the trigger on his handles again turning the blaring noise off, as everyone glanced at each other and smiled as each one of them take out specially designed ear plugs and put them in their pockets as each one of them quickly pulled out their weapons. Keanu pulled out his Mama and held it in front of him, Rino pulled out his massive Suitcase and held it in front of him as the new upgrade to it caused it to surge with blue and white energy, while a white armored suit slithered out from under Extor's clothes and wrapped around him along with the two boots that were used as thrusters a few moments ago for the tank, fly back and attached to Extor's feet. All the while, Samedi pulls out the blade from his cane and held it in front of him, Artemis smirked as she readied her bow, Tiburon pulled out his chainsaw club along with bottled water. Popping the cap off and drenching the water down his face, tossing the bottle away as his eyes become black voids and he shows his teeth.
And finally, Scotty pulled out his large claymore, its Celtic runes flashing.
Without wasting even another moment, all charged into battle as the undead, troopers, and rest of the enemies started charging in as well. As Keanu ran in he screamed as he dashed forward and slashed several dozen troopers and military vehicles away as he continued his charge with his Mama. As he made it in he started hacking and slashing at Troopers with his swordsmanship skills he learned from his teachers, slicing off EVO heads while using the advanced strength of his Breathing skills to kick troopers away into other troopers and EVOs, but that's when three EVO wolves came in with their claws as they roared slashing them at Keanu. Keanu easily blocked the attacks as he flipped the head of his Mama back and with a white Dust bullet, shot the beast in the face, killing it instantly and sending it flying back as Keanu quickly did the same thing to the two other EVO wolvers as he charged in to yet another crowd of enemies as he swung his blade, slashing away more opponents.
Extor flew through the air in his suit as he targeted the tanks and EVOs and started firing missiles at them, blowing the war machines and the walking dead away but that didn't stop Airborne from chasing him through the air with their weapons trained on him. Airborne were basically Red Caps with jet packs provided for them to give them an air advantage but they were still nothing compared to Extor as he just spun back around while flying and aimed his plasma blasters at them, shooting each one of them out of the air with no problem as he went back to flying straight and taking out enemies on the ground with gunfire and missiles. However, it would be halted however as a cable out of nowhere launched at him and grappled his leg as it caused him to fly back and into the earth with a-
CRASH!
But that wouldn't stop Extor as he picked himself back up and looked at what he remembered as the advanced Red Cap mech known as a Butcher standing there. Extor clenched his fists as he flew forwards at the war machine.
Scotty was just marching forward, unbothered by the bullets and missiles that were coming at him as he held out his sword as he started tearing through his enemies with no problem. Not showing even an ounce of fear as he was tearing through his enemies but that's when one opponent charged through the crowd who was different from the others, this trooper had a huge robotic arm replacing his right arm as he held a shield in the other. And as he collided with Scotty, it sent him flying back into a tank nearby indenting it as the mechanical armed man stood there laughing pride-fully. Scotty simply glared as he picked himself off from the tank as he put away his sword and started rushing the StrongArm, pushing the shield aside, head-butted him, and punched him five times in the belly and then grabbing the StrongArm's robotic arm before ripping it off which caused the man to scream in pain, but was quickly silenced as Scotty started beating the man to death with his own arm. Scotty quickly threw it aside as it looked back up as his other opponents that were closing in.
Artemis was throwing Troopers coming after her around like rag dolls but after she blasted a EVO wolf away, a shotgun blast from out of nowhere that she barely managed to dodge thanks to her training under her father, but as she looked back she saw no one there. She carefully looked around, still seeing nobody there, but she did hear her invisible opponents giggle in delight, as Artemis quickly got a devilish smirk, grabbing one of her invisible opponents by their collars feeling her way, as she lifted the mass up and punched him away. Right as he landed on the ground, he became visible, showing it was a man in a invisibility suit. She smiled as she used one of her new arrows, firing it at the ground and jumping back as it released an electrical blast that reached out and hit all the invisible enemies, making them visible and without wasting any time she quickly dashed over to every one of them and knocked them out of the ball park and sending them into the air.
But just as she was finished with the invisible thugs, she looked over to see a new swarm of enemies closing in on her. She just let out another smirk as Artemis jumped on top of one of the nearby tanks, she fired another arrow that hit the ground in between the next swarm.
BOOM!
And one blast sent them flying.
Artemis stood there with a smirk on her face; a missile came out of nowhere and hit the tank she was standing on, literally blowing up under her feet as it sent her flying back. The archer girl picked herself back up and looked to see a man standing there in a red button up shirt, a pair of round sunglasses, and a robotic hand was Robin Junior, holding a massive rocket launcher on his shoulder aiming it at Artemis.
"Greetings love, you're the Artemis girl right? Hehehe, I heard about how you smacked around Pardus with your team and those idiots... But I gotta say, not bad on the eyes either." Robin commented.
"Oh, I heard of you. A few new friends told me all about you, about how you traffic people like they're property! And working for Van Kleiss! Literally making a deal with the devil, and for all that, I'm gonna make sure you get your shots you mad dog...Especially for having the same name as a good friend of mine" Artemis said angrily.
"Back off blondie! This is a newly designed heat seeking rocket launcher, and I'm pretty sure you're already a clear target for them. But I honestly hope this won't kill you, because Van Kleiss already has a TON of more toys I'll like to try on you!" Robin said as he locked the heat signature onto Artemis.
Robin cracked a psychotic smirk as he launched five rockets that came barreling at Artemis who dodged one of the missiles coming at her as she started dashing around the battle field as Robin smiled while watching along with three other Red Caps behind him. Artemis ran away from the missiles and jumping past opponents with the missiels. But that didn't stop Artemis as she ran through the battle field as she tricked the four more into hitting the rest of her opponents. Tricking the second missile into hitting Red Cap Butcher blowing it up, quickly jumped behind a tank blowing the third missile up.
She kept running until she was knocked down by a Beowulf that had wandered in. She kicked it in the face and slid in between its legs. Not even wasting another second, Artemis grabbed the Beowulf and looked behind her at the heat seeking missile, as it collided with the vampire blowing him up. But Artemis still had one missile on her tail as she started running back towards Robin and the three Red Caps.
"Are you freaking kidding me!? RUN!" One of the three Red Caps yelled as they tried to run away, but weren't fast enough as Artemis clenched her hand into a fist as she knocked down all of the Red Caps with one punch as she dashed over to Robin who looked at her with fear in his eyes.
As Artemis slid on the ground towards Robin as she slid in between his legs as she was moving. Robin was relived for a moment, but that quickly went away as he looked back up to see the missile coming right at his groin region.
"Oh Glob, not my ba-" But the rocket flew in between Robin's legs instead. "Whew... For a second I though-"
But as he looked behind him he saw that the missile hit one of their armored vehicles as it blew up, and before he could run away. The explosion caused him and his three men to fly sky high.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
And as the explosion ended and Artemis was finally finished running. She stood back up as she saw the three Red Caps from before fall down from the sky all around her, she saw a concrete barrier sitting there. As she gently nudged it a couple inches to the right with her foot, as she happily put her hands on her hips and waited as a familiar scream could be heard. Robin came flying back down as he landed on the concrete barrier in between his legs cracking it down the middle.
"Ow... Me goalies..." Robin said as he leaned to the side and fell on the ground from an unholy amount of pain.
Artemis just smiled as she ran over to and joined the rest of her friends in battle.
Baron Samedi and Tiburon were fighting together as Baron was skillfully dodging and blocking attacks by enemies as he resurrected five skeletons of Ursai to assist him in fighting his enemies. While Tiburon was in a complete berserker rage as he swung his chainsaw club, cutting off limbs and heads of EVOs and troopers like an animal. As he was shot in the back by an Invisible, Tiburon immediately sniffed his opponent out as he grabbed his opponent's shotgun and forced the gun to his opponents head, pulling the trigger as the Invisible became visible and fell to the ground dead. But afterwards getting pounced on by a Butt as the monster slashed at Tiburon, but Tiburon merely grabbed the Butt by his leg and threw him up in the air as he swung his club chainsaw, causing the Butt to go splat.
While Baron swung his blade as he cut three Beowolves' heads off, just after he then quickly dodged gunfire by a Trooper as he turned around and sliced at his opponent's knees, making him fall to the floor. But Baron wasn't prepared as he was knocked to the ground by a huge Butcher, but as the Butcher aimed his wrist mounted minigun as the defenseless Huntsman that was on the ground. Tiburon with unnatural strength, tackled the mech from behind at the mech was barely phased by it, the Butcher tried to grab ahold of Tiburon from behind, but the shark Faunus hung on as he slashed at the Butcher with his chainsaw club, tearing it's backside apart. The Butcher eventually grabbed the man by his leg as he tossed him up into the air and punched him down to the ground.
Luckily before the Butcher could even step on him, the Butcher looked back up to see Scotty charging at him with his claymore that was burning in hand. The Butcher retaliated with a barrage of missiles which Scotty managed to dodge, except one that hit him in the side of the head and exploded. But as the smoke cleared, it was shown that Scotty was still standing there, his Aura surging around his head. Scotty started to run again as the Butcher started firing with his foot gun. With his claymore, Scotty managed to slice the mechs left arm off as he lands back on the ground and with his burning axe in one hand with his other one free, he punches the mechs leg with his robotic super strength as the Butcher fell on its knee.
Tiburon just picked himself up as he pulled his chainsaw club as far back as he could, and with all his might sliced the machine in half as the machine stood still for a moment, before falling into two pieces as the pilot screamed as he jumped out of the pilot's seat and started to run away. Tiburon was about to run after him, but Scotty put his hand on Tiburon's chest stopping him. As Scotty picked up a stone from the ground and smirked as he pulled his arm back watching the piolet run off into the distance. As he tossed it, the rock hitting the piolet straight in the head as he fell down.
But right as Baron picked himself back up with Scotty and Tiburon turning to him.
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
Three black long burning spikes stabbed right through Tiburon's back and out his chest, as Tiburon looked down at the three spikes, he turned his head to look behind him along with everyone else to see the shadowy monster known as Ebonstreak standing there, as the monster just lifted his arm in response bringing Tiburon in the air along with him. Ebonstreak then looked back at Baron and Scotty as both got into battle positions. Ebonstreak enlarged its hand and fingers as it reached at Scotty and grabbed him, picking him up, and started to tighten it's hold. But Scotty managed to struggle his arm loose as he grabbed his sword and started hacking off several of the fingers as the hand that was holding him.
Ebonstreak's two faces showed expressions of anger and pain as it threw Scotty through the air. Luckily Scotty landed breaking through a structure of some type. Meanwhile Rino was fighting his own battle, ready to shoot down a group of EVOs, Rino saw Scotty get tossed through the structure. Rino immediately turned his attention from his original enemies to Ebonstreak and let loose a barrage of explosive bullets. Ebonstreak looked up and saw the explosive bullets fly through the air at him; he grew out his hand once more to attempt to catch the bullets he failed as a tank fell on top of him with a...
CRASH!
Rino then looked back where Scotty being the one to throw the tanks and tried to rush over to him, but was stopped as someone kicked Rino in the back with enough force to make him stumble forward and catch himself from falling. Rino looked back while pulling out his Suitcase; he saw that it was a man in black battle armor, a cape, and greasy blond hair looking down at him with a sharp toothed smile.
"Hehehe... I assume we haven't met before, my name is Pardus. And your stupid friend almost killed me..." Pardus said as Rino picked himself up holding his Suitcase in front of him like a sword.
"I don't care!" Rino replied as Pardus smirked extending three long metal claws out of gauntlets out of each hand that started to crackle with blue electricity.
It didn't take long as Rino and Pardus collided in battle with Pardus slashing his claw gauntlets at Rino who blocked them with his Suitcase and swung it back at Pardus who dodged. But Pardus was like an agile predator as he was hoping around dodging Rino's attacks with unusual movements as he hopped over Rino and usually slashed him in the back several times with his upgraded claw gauntlets. It sliced through Rino's Aura like a hot knife through butter but luckily Extor had provided some extra protection with an Aura Enhancing Device providing the minimalist of protection against Pardus' attacks. As Pardus was slashing away, he failed to notice Rino as he swung his Suitcase at Pardus creating a giant tear across his chest as he flew back.
Pardus just picked himself back up as he glared at Rino with his chest healing rapidly.
"Hehehe... Is that all you got?" Asked Pardus as Rino looked up into the sky and smiled.
"Nope! But, I think someone else wants to talk to you." Rino said looking up in the sky as Pardus gave a confused look, turning around as he looked up into the sky as well and saw Extor come flying at him from the sky in his suit of armor landing on Pardus and cracking the earth below him, quickly grabbing Pardus by the collar as he lifted him up off the ground.
Extor didn't even waste another second as he flew up into the air while holding Pardus by the collar as he was flying up.
"I'm not going to kill you Pardus, but I am going to make sure you will never walk again!" Said Extor as the tank from below that was thrown on Ebonstreak, was flipped over from a force underneath as Ebonstreak rose back up from the earth unskimmed as he looked up and saw Extor carrying Pardus.
Without a second through Ebonstreak marched three steps forward before he amazingly grew to the size of a building and grabbed Extor by his leg as Extor looked back with his face under his masked helmet turning white seeing the giant Ebonstreak holding his leg. Pardus smirked at Extor as everyone from Team SEKR, their allies and even some of Van Kleiss's forces stopped as they all looked up at Ebonstreak's gigantic size.
"HOLY S***!" Yelled Keanu as Pardus continued to smirk at Extor, as he finally spoke.
"Now... I have friends to back me up wimp..." Said Pardus as he slashed at Extor with his upgraded gauntlets cutting through Extor's armor sending an electrical impulse through his armor, forcing him to let Pardus go and the leopard Faunus landed on his feet.
Looking back up as he smirked at Extor struggling against Ebonstreak's giant had as the shadow/fire demon threw Extor to the ground, reaching down and picking him up again, ready to crush Extor in his tin can suit. Luckily before Ebonstreak could, he felt painful slashes behind his head. It was Baron on Ebonstreak's back as he was viciously slicing away at the back of Ebonstreak's head, but as Ebonstreak was about to grab Samedi he looked down to see Keanu standing on a miniature catapult made by Rino's Suitcase, firing Keanu who flew through the air while screaming.
"Cowabunga!"
Keanu flipped, holding his Mama and shooting the giant Ebonstreak several times in the chest with White Dust coating his Mama sword, hurting the demon as he stumbled back with Keanu stabbing his Mama into Ebonstreak's chest. Holding onto Ebonstreak as his Aura protected him from the flames Keanu repeatedly stabbed the monster in the chest before Ebonstreak reached down and grabbed Keanu in his other hand but that didn't stop Keanu from trying to slash at Ebonstreak's hand with his blade. Ebonstreak started tightening his grip as cracking noises started to emit from Keanu as he started groaning in pain, stopping his hacking and stabbing. Even though Ebonstreak couldn't speak in its current form, it was clear that it was enjoying itself as he was crushing both Keanu and Baron Samedi in his colossal hands.
But as Pardus was looking up with a smile at Ebonstreak choking the life out of the enemies, he suddenly felt an incredibly sharp pain in his side as speckles of blood covered the ground next to him. As he looked back up, he saw Tiburon already dash past Pardus as he saw Tiburon standing there with his active chainsaw club, holding the weapon like a sword and glaring at Pardus. Pardus smirked as the deep slash on the side of his body started to heal up as he sized up both Artemis who joined the fight and Tiburon, while extracting his claw gauntlets.
"So... You heal fast too?" Tiburon asked.
"Yes, but, much better. I guess someone should teach you two manners, since neither of you had a mom to spank you in the first place." Pardus said, to which Artemis and Tiburon both became infuriated as Tiburon's eyes turned pitch black while Pardus shapeshifted into his wereleopard form as he roared at the both of them as they collided in battle.
Meanwhile Artemis and Tiburon were facing off against Pardus, and Keanu and Samedi were struggling their very best to get out of Ebonstreak's colossal strangle hold on them, Rino already had Extor over his shoulders as he was running for some cover, as he was looking around he heard a voice call out to him. "Over here!"
Rino looked over to see Scotty behind one of Van Kleiss's destroyed communication facility. Rino ran straight over to the communication facility as he ducked for cover behind it and looked over at Scotty who was taking cover and firing at the enclosing enemies. As he was finished firing his round of laser blasts, he took cover again as he looked over at Rino and Extor who were lying there.
Scotty looked at him with worried eyes as he said.
"Oh no! IS EXTOR OKAY!?"
He got his answer after Extor coughed and sat back up.
"Yes! I am well... Although that was quite an unfavorable experience." Extor said getting back up as Scotty let out a sigh of relief.
"But, what are we going to do about Keanu and Samedi? That fiery shadow monster thing is crushing them!" Scotty yelled as Extor peaked from behind the cover to see a wave of enemies firing at them from the other side and from the distance seeing a giant Ebonstreak still crushing Keanu and Samedi.
"This is not good!" Extor said as he ducked behind the broken building again.
Scotty quickly peaked from behind the demolished building as he laid down suppression fire on the enclosing enemy before ducking back behind the destroyed wall once more, quickly then turning to Rino and Extor.
"I have an idea, but you two have to lay down as much suppression fire as you can. Extor, you stay with me while you lay down suppression fire as best as you can. And Rino, I need you to distract the enemy as much as you can. Make enough mayhem for them to change their attention to you! Got it?" Scotty asked.
Rino smiled and nodded as he pulled out his Suitcase and arrived from behind the structure as he charged at the wave of incoming enemies as he swung his newly upgraded Suitcase, sending a sideways energy wave that tore through over a dozen troopers, and a tank as Rino continued his rampage, leading several of the enemies to chase after him.
All the while, Extor stood up and readied his weapons as he took a step away from the blockade as he readied his lasers, guns, and missiles as he aimed them at the wave of enemies firing away. All the while Scotty dashed behind Extor while Extor's armor was acting as another blockade, protecting Scotty from the hail of bullets coming their way. While Extor was laying down suppression fire at the enemies, Scotty yelled from behind Extor.
"Extor! I need one of those Omni-Grenades!" As Extor shot down a recolored Bullhead ship with mounted weapons on it firing at Extor as it crushed three EVOs and a trooper before the vehicle exploded.
BOOM!
"COMPAREMENT!" Extor yelled.
"WHICH COMPARTMENT!?" Scotty yelled back.
"MY BACK COMPAREMENT!"
"THERE'S SIX COMPARTMENTS!" Scotty yelled referring to the back of Extor's suit as a missile hit the structure beside the both of them blowing up.
BOOM!
"LEFT CHEEK! LEFT CHEEK! LEFT CHEEK!" Extor yelled and Scotty opened the correct compartment on Extor's back, finding the Omni-Grenade he was looking for.
And all the while Extor was still lying down suppression fire Scotty ran past him and into the wave of enemies, tanking incoming fire as well with his Aura shimmering, struggling to block all the projectiles now. But that did nothing to stop him as he charged right through the crowd of enemies, knocking them aside with his strength and jumping over the rest, running up to the gigantic Ebonstreak as the demon was still slowly crushing Keanu and Samedi to death. As Ebonstreak looked over at Keanu and started crushing him once more...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"
SQUEAK!
Ebonstreak's expression turned to one of confusion as he tightened his grip again as Keanu let out a squeaking noise.
SQUEAK!
SQUEAK!
SQUEAK!
"HEY! YOU THINK THAT'S FUNNY!? THAT'S THE SOUND OF MY RIBS BEING PRESSED AGAINST MY LUNGS!" Keanu yelled as he then looked up only to see a metal looking idem being tossed to him, and with his free hand he caught it and looked at it.
Seeing that it was one of those advanced bombs, Keanu then looked back down to see who tossed it to him, seeing Scotty standing there with half of his face torn off revealing his metal skeleton and red optic.
"KEANU! CHANGE THE SETTING ON THAT TO SILVER MODE TO TAKE EBONSTREAK DOWN! BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT CHANGE THAT TO MICROTON!" Scotty yelled.
But Keanu being so high up, he had misheard exactly what Scotty yelled up to him. All Keanu heard from his semi-indestructible leader was...
"KEANU! CHANGE THE SETTING ON THAT TO- (Incoherent speech) -MICROTON!"
Keanu looked down at the device and shrugged his shoulders, changing the bomb to its more destructive setting 'Microton', as he flailed his hand back as it glowed hot orange. Which Scotty could see it from the ground, recognizing Keanu's mistake as he threw the grenade.
"NO! WAIT KEANU PUT IT DOW-"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A huge explosion went off as it made contact with Ebonstreak, the explosion severing both of Ebonstreak's arms and tearing up his chest as he fell to the ground along with his two arms, freeing Keanu and Samedi.
But, the explosion was still so massive as Extor turned from his battle and looked at the explosion. "OH MY GOODNESS!"
"NOOOOOOOO!" Scotty yelled as he saw it, looking back down to see an injured Keanu and Samedi to walk out of the smoke and fire as Scotty glared at Keanu who gave an nervous smile.
"Opps... Guess I used the wrong setti-" But Keanu was interrupted.
"ARE YOU THAT STUPID!? DOES IT HURT TO BE THAT STUPID!? DO YOU FEEL ANYTHING!? DO YOU FEEL ANYTHING WHEN YOU ACT LIKE A COMPLETE MORON!?" Scotty yelled.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" All the while Samedi laughed at the outburst.
But before anyone could say anything else, Ebonstreak slowly started to pick himself back up as the three heroes turned to the giant.
"That isn't good... Even from an explosion like that he'll get up again!" Scotty yelled.
Meanwhile, Tiburon and Artemis were still fighting Pardus as Artemis was knocked away by Pardus, only to take another slash from Tiburon's weapon creating a giant laceration across the leopard Faunus' chest causing him to stumble back. As Tiburon punched Pardus across the face with his shark toothed knuckled gloved before biting Pardus on the neck with his serrated teeth as he thrashed the psychopath back and forth before tossing him to the ground. But even after all that, Pardus picked himself back up as he started healing, while cracking his neck twice by tipping his head to the left and right, letting out a wicked smile as Artemis stood next to Tiburon once more in her fighting position. Before their battle could engage once more, Tiburon looked over at the giant Ebonstreak starting to slowly pick himself back up.
Letting out a growl, he turned to Artemis and asked. "Hey kid, can you handle this freak for a while?"
Artemis smiled and nodded as she put her bow up as it shifted into staff mode and collided with Pardus once more while Tiburon started running over to Ebonstreak who was getting back up. But he then stopped as he thought of the perfect way to put that monster down for good; he looked back up towards the sky as he saw Extor flying around.
"Extor!" Tiburon yelled as Extor stopped and flew over to Tiburon, landing in front of him. "Can you give me a REALLY big lift? To take care of THAT THING for good?"
Tiburon gestured to Ebonstreak as he was getting back up and regenerating his arms while Keanu, Scotty, and Samedi below him were watching the giant pick himself back up.
"Certainly! But, a word of advice, you may want to close your eyes if you're afraid of heights." Extor said as he grabbed the back of Tiburon's shirt as he instantly flew into the sky while holding onto Tiburon.
Meanwhile, Keanu, Scotty, and Samedi were firing everything they could at Ebonstreak, but Ebonstreak just grew out his hand as he blocked the fire coming from the three, before grabbing all three of them in one gigantic hand as he lifted them back up, fully healed from the explosion, starting to tighten his grip on the three as he started to seriously crush them. But he suddenly stopped as he lifted up his other gigantic hand as he aimed three long and incredibly sharp fiery fingers at the three, intending to pierce his fingers straight though the threes skulls. But as the fingers were just inches away from Scotty's, Keanu's, and Samedi's faces. Ebonstreak heard a roar coming from the sky.
As he turned around, he looked up and saw something coming straight from the heavens shaped like a man as he was coming down like an asteroid as a hundred miles per hour.
'Man, this is gonna suck...' Tiburon thought while coming down from the sky as he let out another powerful roar while heading straight at Ebonstreak, putting his spiked fists in front of his face as his velocity only grew in speed and power flying closer and closer to Ebonstreak.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" Tiburon roared as Ebonstreak was about to put up his hand in some type of defense, but was not fast enough as Tiburon ended up flying RIGHT THROUGH Ebonstreak's left head as he crashed into the earth.
Ebonstreak immediately let go of Keanu, Samedi, and Scotty as each one of them landed on the ground and on their feet. All the while Ebonstreak, now with a hole going straight through its left head, fell down and landed in a heap on the ground. The three looked back up as each of them had their own responses.
"Holy Genndy..." Keanu muttered.
"Wow..." Scotty remarked.
"Yup, that's Tiburon alright." Samedi said as he walked off to the crater which Tiburon created. "Well, let's go see if he's alive. And bring some water if you have any."
From the crater rose a bloody hand as it grabbed at the edge of the crater, followed by another bloody hand covered in wounds as Tiburon pulled himself back up. Absolutely covered in wounds and blood as he ground in pain, while his wounds started to rapidly heal, he took several deep breaths because of the painful experience he just went through as he looked back up to see Samedi, Scotty, and Keanu standing there.
"Welcome back to Earth." Said Samedi as he handed Tiburon a water bottle, as the shark Faunus opened up and poured it all over his head as his healing started to increase in speed.
"THAT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME GUYS!" Rino said, coming over which made Keanu and Samedi laugh as Scotty glared at the former thief.
"I gotta say, that was pretty hardcore. But, what about that other guy that you and Artemis were fighting?" Keanu asked.
"I'm sure she can handle him." Tiburon said, right as he heard a voice from far away, rapidly start to get louder and louder.
"INCOMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING-"
Tiburon looked over to see Artemis flying towards him, as the force of her getting tossed at him knocked the man down. The three left standing looked over to see Pardus standing there with a smirk and his electrified claws out, as he walked closer to the group.
"Keeps healing... Find another way..." Artemis said who was clearly out of breath as she picked herself up from on top of Tiburon.
Keanu then glared at Pardus smirking, before glancing back up at Extor who has already grabbed an EVO by the throat while hovering in the air as he tossed it at a group of Troopers.
"Hey lab coat! Toss me another one of those explosive thingies!" Keanu yelled and Extor took an Omni-Grenade out of a compartment of his suit and tossed the explosive to Keanu who grabbed it with one hand, and pulled out his Mama with the other as he smirked and said. "I'll take care of Sabrepuss over here while you guys take are of the rest!"
Everyone nodded as another wave of enemies ran in, with the Troopers, Red Caps, Rebellion and Tetsu Kirazu members aiming their guns at them. And if that wasn't enough, tanks, Butchers, and Bullheads with mounted weapons started closing in as well.
Extor, Rino, Samedi, Tiburon, Artemis, and Scotty all readied their weapons as they ran into the enemy wave. All the while Keanu dashed over to Pardus who smirked and readied his gauntlets as Keanu closed in. Keanu slashed at the ex-leader of the Satyra five times with his Mama as Pardus blocked all three of those attacks with his claw gauntlets, quickly grabbing Keanu by the throat and picked him off the ground, and he started to slice at Keanu's chest with his free hand while Keanu struggled. That's when Pardus tossed Keanu several feet away as Keanu stopped his momentum by stabbing his Mama into the ground, halting himself.
Keanu looked back up he saw that Pardus instantly transformed into a leopard human hybrid as he lunged through the air at Keanu with his electrified claw gauntlets. Keanu quickly coated his Mama with a fire Dust bullet as he aimed his weapon at Pardus, slashing through the air, and fired fiery crescent shaped wave at Pardus engulfing him in fire while simultaneously sending him back. Unfortunately Pardus stuck his nails into the ground like Keanu and stopped his momentum, as he stood up while on fire and covered in wounds which started to heal up as he ran over to Keanu again. As the leopard Faunus leaped at Keanu, Da Samurai readied his Mama and the Omni-grenade, quickly scooting aside dodging the leopard Faunus as he slashed as Pardus back causing him to yell in pain.
As Pardus soon picked himself back up and turned around to attack Keanu, Keanu knocked one of his attacks aside as he laid down a blow with Mama. As the process continued again as Pardus started to viciously slash at Keanu, but Keanu with his teachings given to him by his teachers started to really come in handy as he was dodging and knocking away almost every one of Pardus attacks while laying down his own onslaught. Just as the injured Pardus was about to attack Keanu again, Keanu put away his sword and held his hand out to Pardus' face, stopping his attack.
"Hey, look buddy, I just wanna say I'm sorry. And as proof of this, here's a little present." Keanu said handing the grenade as Pardus took it without question.
"Oh... Thank you." But that was when Pardus realized it was an active beeping grenade as he handed it back to Keanu.
"OH! I JUST REMEMBERED! IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Pardus said panicking as he handed the grenade back to Keanu and turned around.
"OH, UMM... MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Keanu said as he pulled Pardus pack and handed the bomb to him.
"IT'S NOT MY BIRTHDAY!" Pardus yelled, as he handed the bomb back to Keanu.
"HAPPY HANUKKAH!" Keanu yelled, tossing the bomb back to Pardus.
"IT ISN'T HANUKKAH NEITHER!" Pardus yelled, handing the bomb back to Keanu as the bomb's beeping increased in speed.
"HAPPY GENNDY DAY!" Keanu said, tossing the bomb back to Pardus.
"HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Pardus yelled, throwing the bomb back to Keanu as everyone who was fighting around them, stopped and looked over at Keanu and Pardus tossing a live bomb back and forth.
"Awww... I hate my job..." A Trooper nearby said, watching the insanity.
"NO!" Pardus yelled, throwing the bomb back to Keanu.
"YES!" Keanu said, tossing it back as the cycle continued.
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"MY!"
"MOTHER!"
"SAID!
"YOU!"
"ARE!"
"AN!"
"IDIOT!" Keanu yelled tossing the bomb back at Pardus who grew a satisfied expression looking down at the bomb.
"HA! SUCK IT, KID! I WIN!-"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
As the explosion went off, it sent everybody back. As the smoke cleared, Keanu was lying in the crater where ground zero occurred as he lied there and moaned. As everyone else got up, they all looked around until they saw Keanu laying there, the group immediately ran over to him as Rino and Extor helped up their groaning comrade.
"Keanu! Are you alright!?" Extor asked.
"Super..." Keanu said as a smile started to grow on his face, as he and the group saw Pardus lying there on the ground face first. "Ha!... Face the DEFEAT! If your ever gonna mess with us again, you'll have bring your entire army-..."
Keanu stopped as he and the group's satisfied faces went away as they saw hundreds of more opponents surround them with weapons trained on all of them as they instantly surrounded our heroes.
Including Ebonstreak who was fully healed.
As the group backed off, Pardus picked himself up from the ground as he turned around.
"Hehehe... Guess nobody told you, you mess with the leopard, and you get the CLAWS..." Pardus said as everyone could see that his left hand was completely blown off.
But either if Pardus was in shock or he couldn't feel the pain, he didn't pay any attention to it. But Keanu's and everyone else's attention turned back to Pardus as he punched Keanu in the gut with his intact left hand.
"Now I hit you TWICE! What are you and your idiot friends gonna do now?" Pardus asked smirking at an angry Keanu, as Rino pushed Keanu aside and stood in front of the group, glaring at Pardus like he was ready to fight.
But instead...
"WE SURRENDER!" Rino yelled throwing his hands up and getting on his knees.
And right away, Troopers started slapping cuffs on everyone.
"You may chain my body but you can never chain my-" But the armored down Extor instantly had a cuff slapped around his neck, disrupting his speaking. "-GLORIOUS SPIRIT!"
"Rino! What are you doing!?" Artemis whispered.
"I'm just-OW! What kind of cuffs are these?" Rino asked, looking at the advanced looking cuffs around his wrist with demonic carvings on it that sent a surge of pain throughout his body.
"Those are pain cuffs. Designed with nano tech, the more you struggle, the more it hurts." Pardus answered with a grin.
"Are you serious- OW! Oh come on! OWWWW! OWWW! OWWW!" Keanu yelled as the cuffs started to electrocute him.
"GET MOVING!" A Trooper yelled as he placed a long hook around Rino's cuffs and started to drag him as everyone else followed.
As the group walked closer and closer to the tower, they could see the military style structures and outposts around the building as they started to walk up to the gigantic tower itself, all the while hundreds of Van Kleiss's forces were surrounding them.
"Hey, Fancy! This plan better turn out better than the time you tried to make mac and cheese by eating it raw while drinking scolding water!" Keanu yelled.
"This plan is nothing like that plan..." Rino replied.
"How?" Asked Extor.
"Because this one's gonna work." Rino as the group continued to walk forward.
