Kiba put up a shield just in time, as the girls began to fire their guns and unleash a ridiculous amount of darts at them.
Unfortunately, the shield wasn't enough, Sakio threw a grenade over the shield, landing right behind everyone.
"No!" Hinata pushed off of Kiba, and fell onto the grenade just in time for it to burst open, shielding everyone else, but getting hit by every single foam ball.
BRRRRRRRRRR!
"NOOOOOOO!" Kiba wailed out in despair, as she held her fallen servant.
"No time to mourn!" Kuki shouted as he threw their own grenade over the shield, forcing the other team to stop firing so Sakio could put up her own shield to block it. "Go! Go! Go!"
"Gah! I'm sorry Hinata! I'll avenge you!" Kiba swore as she and everyone else booked it out of the building. Thankfully the mortar bombings had stopped, but the three heavily armed girls were on their tails.
Team Action was forced to throw back as many grenades as possible to slow them down. Still, the girls would throw grenades over their shields, which Kiba and Yaba batted away with their shield and sword respectively.
"Quick! I need that sewer grate open!" Kuki said as he pointed to an upcoming manhole cover.
"I got it! Kiba focuses on that shield ya hear!" Yaba ran over to the manhole cover and started trying to lift it. "Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! RAHHHHHH!"
Due to being so far away from her sisters, Yaba was much weaker than she would be otherwise. Still, eventually, she managed to pull the grate off and threw it aside.
"Alright wait for-wait!" Kuki shouted as Yaba jumped in before he could finish talking.
Yaba landed on the walkway in the sewer and immediately set off a claymore, which burst out, unleashing a bunch of foam balls all over the place, many hitting Yaba, eliminating her.
BRRRRRRRRRRRR!
"Fuck!" Yaba swore.
"Ugh." Kuki groaned, suppressing the urge to face-palm. "Everyone get in!"
One by one, everyone funneled into the sewer, before Kiba used her shadows to cover the entrance.
Immediately Kuki turned to Yaba with a frustrated scowl on his face. "I was about to tell you that we should throw a grenade down here to take care of any traps!"
"Well, why didn't ya say that earlier!?" Yaba growled.
"I didn't have time to give a full explanation while we were under fire!" Kuki argued.
SLAM! SLAM! SLAM! SLAM!
The roof of the sewer shook, as someone, most likely Shiruku, was punching down on it. Trying to break through.
"I don't think we can hide in here forever." Kioku pointed out.
"We don't need to," Kuki said, as he took out his communicator. "I want an airstrike on top of our location! I repeat I want an airstrike on top of our location!"
"Finally!" They heard Netsu say over the communicator before it cut out.
"Le, go back to base, and get the Mega Bazooka," Kuki ordered.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Back above ground, Shiruku was punching the ground, trying to dig through it to get into the sewers while the other two waited.
"A thought occurs, why are we trying to figure out if action or romance is better, with a contest that consists mostly of action?" Kano asked.
Sakio shrugged. "Sounded fun, and Kuki REALLY wanted to do it."
Then suddenly, Netsu came shooting forward in the air, holding two grenade launchers, and firing grenades down on the girls.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" The girls screamed as they were unexpectedly attacked, Sakio managed to shield herself in time, but the other two girls were immediately pelted by foam balls and eliminated.
BRRRRRRRRRRR! BRRRRRRRRRRRR!
As Netsu made a rough u-turn, dropping his now out of grenade launchers, pulling his duel pistols out of his holsters, and started firing down on Sakio.
But Sakio took to the air, avoiding his shots, and unleashing her own barrage of darts, most of which missed Netsu as he flew at high speeds, but there were just so many of them, that a few managed to hit Netsu's face, eliminating him.
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
"Aw, man." Netsu sighed as he flew away.
With her biggest threat eliminated, Sakio turned back to the sewer grate, only to find that everyone had climbed out, and Kiba was now aiming a Nerf Mega Bazooka at her.
BONK!
Sakio barely managed to put up a shield in time, but once the massive cannonball-like shot hit it, she was forced to take the shield down.
To balance shields and buff the otherwise impractical bazookas, if you hit someone's shield with a bazooka, that shield would be unusable.
This, of course, left Sakio open, and Aka and Kioku shot her up, eliminating her.
BRRRRRRRRRRRR!
"Damn it." Sakio pouted, as she lowered herself to the ground.
"Mwahahahahahahaha! We did it!" Aka cheered, raising her hand and giving Kioku a high five to celebrate.
"My loyal blade, you have been avenged," Kiba said dramatically.
"Alright everyone, they should be going on the defensive now, so they'll probably buckle down in their base," Kuki said. "Be ready, it's time for a raid!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
With so many of the opposing team eliminated, Team Action made it to their base with little issue.
They stood outside the entrance of the base, stopping just before they entered.
"Looks like they're using the same in-the-dark tactics as we did," Kuki said as he looked into the entrance, noticing how seemingly all the lights in the base were off. "Be careful, Yami can still see us even if we can't see him. Le, scan."
"Got it." Le raised his arm and got ready to do another scan.
PLOP!
When suddenly Le was shot in the head from behind, by none other than Maria, and everyone quickly turned around and shot her back, eliminating her as well.
BRRRRRRRRR! BRRRRRRRRRR!
"Oh come on!" Le groaned as he glared at his older cousin. "Really?"
Maria shrugged. "Should have been more careful."
"Ugh! Damn it!" Kuki groaned, cursing himself for not checking around them before they stopped. "Such a rookie mistake. Fine, let's just head in, and be as careful as possible. Flashlights on!"
They all took out their flashlight attachments and equipped them to their guns, before going in. Kiba and Kuki looked forward while Kioku and Aka looked back to make sure no one snuck up on them in the dark.
The four of them walked slowly and carefully into the base. It was dead quiet, the only sound being the noise of their footsteps against the metal floor.
After making their way rather deep into the base, Kiba noticed something behind a corner. A foot.
Kiba tapped Kuki on the shoulder, before nodding her head over to the shoe, bringing it to his attention.
Kuki looked at the shoe, and mouthed. "Be ready. Could come from both sides."
They kept moving forward until they reached the corner.
"Now!" Kuki whispered, and they all charged forward, Kuki and Kiba pointing their guns to the left, while Kioku and Aka pointed their guns to the right.
Only to find no one on both sides. As the shoe they'd seen was only a shoe, with no one wearing it.
Kuki quickly realized what was happening. This was a trap! And with no one on either side, that left one option.
He turned his light above them, revealing a Hound on the ceiling, with five grenades in its chest.
"Scatter!" Kuki shouted as the Hound dropped the grenades on top of them.
The four separated into two groups going down the left and right as the grenades fell and burst.
"Ah!" Kioku got hit in the leg by one of the balls, causing her to fall.
The Hound dropped to the floor, and opened its mouth, revealing that it had a Nerf Shotgun crammed into its maw, and it fired down on Kioku, eliminating her.
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
"Curse you! Feel my wrath!" Aka shouted as she shot the Hound in the face, causing it to flop over and play dead.
PLOP!
Only for Aka to then get shot in the back, and eliminated.
BRRRRRRRRRRR!
"What the?" Aka looked behind her, to see that the one who'd shot her was none other than Frisk.
Frisk stuck their tongue out playfully, before teleporting away, appearing right behind Kuki.
"Watch out!" Kiba leapt at Kuki, pushing him out of the way and taking the dart instead, eliminating her.
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Kuki fell on his butt but immediately reacted by shooting Frisk right in the face, eliminating them as well.
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
"Oh darn," Frisk said, taking their defeat about as well as expected.
"Go on, finish the fight," Kiba said as she lay down on the cold metal floor. "Do it for us."
"Copy. Rest well soldier." Kuki said, before running deeper into the base.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kuki continued deeper into the dark base, sweat barreling down his face, as his hands trembled a bit. Ok, calm down. It's one-on-one one. And Yami can see me wherever I am. Ok, what would I do if I had that power? Well, I'd probably keep it simple. Just hide behind a corner or something and wait for me to be in range. Ok, how do I counter that? I can't see very well, and I don't have any more grenades to throw around corners. I'm at a big disadvantage. Screw it. There's only one way to win. Just gotta focus.
He closed his eyes, and took a deep breath, lightening his footsteps so he could focus on his hearing.
And as he moved closer to the end of the hall, he finally heard it.
Breathing.
It was kind of far away, meaning Yami was probably waiting at the end of the other hallway. Once he turned the corner, Yami would fire at him from the end of the hall, or throw a grenade.
Actually, a grenade was more likely. Because then it would be harder for him to retreat.
So that begged the question, what could he do?
After debating in his head for a while, Kuki finally came up with a plan.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! LOLALELALAY!" Kuki booked it around the corner while yelling nonsense as loud as he could, and firing seemingly at random.
Yami, who had been hiding in wait for intruders, was completely taken off guard by this and ended up freezing, and when he finally did reach for his pistol, Kuki had already made it to him.
PONK!
The two shot at each other at the same time.
Yami, still startled, ended up shooting Kuki in the shoulder, while Kuki shot him right in the chest.
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
"TEAM ACTION WINS!"
"Yes!" Kuki jumped for joy, fist-pumping the air. "Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! I did it! I did it! I won! Wahoo!"
Yami shrugged off the disappointment he felt in defeat and extended his hand out towards Kuki. "Good job."
Kuki eagerly shook Yami's hand, still on a high from winning. "Thanks!"
And with that handshake, the war finally came to an end.
Please review and have a nice day.
