Chapter 20 - Metamorphosis

The angry group of Mars People and their creations approach the fighters with murderous looks moving with intensity at the fighters

"Be prepared guys! Here they come!" - Ryo

"Man, this is going to be something." - Kaede

"I'm tired of this things! Let's burn them all!" - Mai

"On that I agree with you, Mai." - Kyo

The aliens start shooting at the fighters with the group moving dodging the spheres of energy coming from the weapons of the Mars People's guns

"Chizuru, Akari, Seirah! Behind me!" - Says Athena using her psycho reflector to protect some of the fighters

"I'll take care of them, don't worry Athena." - Chizuru moves out of the shield striking the Mars Peopla with her shadows, she takes out twelve Mars People with the sole use of her Rimen 1 Katsu Sanrai No Fujin

"Argh!" - But suddenly as she approached to keep attacking against the Mars People and their strange robots, Chizuru felt an awful pain in her chest and stomach, a strange awful sensation happened in her a she started trembling

"ARGGHH!" - Chizuru screams as she coughs some blood with her being surrounded by a group of strange robots created by the mars people, robots with exposed brains preparing to emit sonic waves to fry Kagura

"Chizuru!" - Mai and Athena run to where Chizuru is with Mai holding the confused and hurt Kagura with Athena throws some psycho balls out of the tips of her fingers to dispatch the robots quickly

"Are you alright?" - Mai takes Chizuru towards a nearby rock as the fight against the mars people keeps going with Shigen and Ryo taking on another group

"I am, yes. Don't you worry, Mai ARGH! I'm fine." - Says Chizuru as she grabs her stomach and chest sweating like crazy

"Oh your hands, are cold! Are you sure!" - Says Mai shocked as Kagura's hands were now colder even more than before

"Don't worry!" - Chizuru rises her finger

"I'm going to be fine. I'm just having a small pain." - Chizuru signals Mai to keep helping the rest as she catches her breath on the rock, Kagura does her best but not even she understands what is going on

"..." - Chizuru's pupils grow big and small constantly as Kagura is confused with herself wondering what is going on, the pain in her heart has gone but-

*Crack* - Kagura notices two small pieces of white pale meat falling from her face, she takes a look becoming shocked after touching her face being able to feel her teeth where her lips where supposed to be

"..." - Chizuru's pupils keep becoming bigger and small constantly as Kagura can't believe what is going on with herself, her vision becomes blurry and normal constantly now too

"(What is going on with me?!)" - Says Kagura looking at the superior and inferior lips on the ground

Meanwhile

A group of people are seen entering inside the fallen ship of the Mars People

"Well, what we have here, they really left their ship abandoned like this?" - Shion

"Who would have think that combining these two's powers would have caused the entire object to fall." - King Leo

"Tell me already, Rugal. Why are we here?" - Geese

"Patience, Howard. There's a good reason why I wanted to come here... " - Says Rugal while the group walks through the nightmarish looking halls of the ship, decorated with alot of confusing and viscuos liquid

"Hmph! I certainly like this place!" - Says Mizuki still looking like a nightmarish creature now possessing Iori Yagami's body

The group stumbles upon a closed giant door

"Neo Dio! You know what to do." - Rugal snaps his fingers as the silent Dio approaches the door

"Stand aside, gentlemen and ladies. Trust me, none of you want to be nearby him when he opens that door." - Rugal

In that moment Neo Dio charges energy in his stomach as this one opens like a flower with a sphere of energy being created in Neo Dio's body

"Hell breaker!" - Neo Dio uses the charged sphere of dark energy to melt the giant metal door for the surprise of the group of villains

"Enter!" - Rugal and Dio enter in the room

"Just what is this?!" - Allen

"A weaponry hall from another world..." - Says King Leo looking at the weapons of the mars people

"Hmph! This creatures sure like to craft extravagant looking weapons." - Says Shion taking a strange spear

*Blaam* - While testing the weapon Shion shots at laser from the spear at Botan who crouches dodging teh laser looking back at Shion angry

"Shion, damn it! Be more careful with that, you damn-" - Botan

"Silence! We aren't here for these weapons. But for that!" - Signals Rugal looking at a small room with some of the Mars people creations like robots

Using his wristband scaner. Rugal finds what he wants in a strange container glass with a weird looking green liquid, as well as some electric components from the room

"This place looks straight out of a mad scientist movie." - Botan

"And what is the meaning behind taking this tech?" - Geese

"Oh you will see. I'm just going to refresh you all's memories." - Rugal

"Remember when the leader of these aliens, Rootmars. Was almost able to approach Urbe?" - Rugal finds another useful part, in a small looking yellow crystal brightning intensively as he grabs said small container

As the group keeps exploring the ship

"Well well, look at what we have here, sleeping beauty itself!" - Says Botan having entered in this other room in the ship with the group following her

"Hmph! So that's where he is." - Rugal

"Looks like he is in some kind of hibernation?" - Shion

"That demon... Must be recovering its strength." - Setsuna

*Fsssw* - In that moment suddenly the infamous Rootmars opens his eyes staring at the group

Meanwhile

A group of flying beings shaped like an eye move attacking Akari, Kula and Nakoruru

"Akari!" - Nakoruru sees Akari falling on the ground after tripping herself with the strange beings approaching to blast her

*Fwwss* - But in that moment, Kyo runs grabing Akari taking her away from the attack

"Are you alright?" - Kyo

"Yes. I am but what are we going to do against all of them?" - Akari

"There's alot of them! They aren't going to stop coming, aren't they?" - Ryo

"I don't think so, I think we are going against the entire family of this annoying squids!" - Terry does a power geyser taking another group of Mars People as Ryo is forced to back off before a Mars People exploded itself reappering some meters away

"This guys are such sneaky bastards, what Leona and Marco said was truth." - Ryo

"Take this you damn annoying beasts!" - Seirah throws a grenade at the Mars People with her and her family dodging the shots and attack of the Mars People

"This guys just don't give up!" - K'

"*Pant* just how many of them are?" - Kula

"Hundreds actually! Is almost as their entire species had arrived to this planet." - Maxima

"Hmph! Weak!" - Says Genjuro cutting through the Mars People alongside Moriya and Haohmaru

The fight continues as Shigen throws Kaede at the group of flying eye beings cutting them charing his sword with electricity

Haohmaru and Moriya run alongside Athena and Leona, cutting the legs of strange quadropod red drones of one eye making them fall exploding

"(Dr. Brown, tell the team to return back to the city, I have an idea.)" - Siruu

"But Siruu?! Yes, I see, I understand." - Dr. Brown

"Leona tell them to return, Siruu plans to do that." - Dr. Brown

"Understood. Everyone return to the inside!" - Says Leona as the team goes back to the city with the shield activating again

"Are you alright, Chizuru? Chizuru?!" - Asks Mai catching the attention of everyone turning trying to see where is Chizuru when

*Crack* - The sound of something being biten is heard making the entire group turn to their right side hearing what appears to be someone eating?

*Crack* - The group is shocked by the image they find in front of themselves at some meters of them...

"Chi-Chizuru?" - Athena feels a cold sweat staring at the direction where the sound is and so does the totally shocked Kyo, Mai, Terry and the rest

*Crack* *Splash* - For the horror of the group, they see not other than Chizuru now looking like a undead creature without lips, no pupils and her mouth full of green blood being seen enjoying eating out of the body of a Mars People, especially grabing the brain of the alien biting it with such pleasure making Akari and Kula feel disgust

"Ms-Ms. Kagura?!" - Seirah

"What happened to you?!" - Seirah screams

"Mhhmmm... Delicious!" - Chizuru licks her lips now realizing she is being stared at by the entire group with her standing up hunched over making everyone be totally shocked as the entire group looks concerned at Athena

"Oh no! It can't be! Wh-What I have done?" - Whispers Athena staring at the new appearence of Chizuru with her lip trembling and a concerned stare
