How We've Grown..
"JUSTICE ROCKET PUNCH!!!!" Sentabot shot down at Ezra from above, his elbow exploding with the power of a rocket thruster coming right out of his joint.
"AQUASONATA!!!" Ezra raised her trident to the air, and a large surge of water whipped up around her, showing the very power of the ocean itself.
Sentabot splashed through the massive water surge, going right through it and hitting nothing, coming out the other end.
"Hmm? She used the water as a smokescreen?" Sentabot muttered.
"OCEAN TREMORS!!!"
Suddenly, a massive earthquake shook the area for a 50 meter radius, causing Sentabot to lose his footing as rubble exploded upwards in massive geysers of water.
"OCEAN PULSE!!!" Ezra twirled her trident around, and a cyclone of water ripped out of the ends of the trident, creating a massive blast of ocean water, smashing Sentabot into the side of a cliff with a booming crash.
"See this?" said Ezra. "This Trident isn't an ordinary artifact. When I graduated, I joined the Powers Society's archaeology division, rescuing stranded research teams in treacherous environments.. during an expedition of the Ocean Palace beneath the Atlantic, I found this trident.. a strange alien artifact capable of absorbing and releasing moisture.. And the more moisture that's near me.. the stronger I get.."
Ezra grinned. "This Trident, is currently saturated with moisture equal to 5 lakes in total water capacity."
"JUSTICE SUPER BARRRAAAAGGGEEE!!!"
Suddenly, a massive heat exploded from the cliff wall, as Sentabot shot out.. burning with such extreme heat and energy, that the rocks he passed on his attack run melted into magma.
"POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW!!!!" Sentabot let loose a flurry of rocket powered punches and kicks, continuously letting out a set of ozone layer breaking blows before landing one final punch that sent Ezra spiraling into the sky, leaving a heated air rippling trail..
Ezra coughed up blood. "D-damn.. that speed!?"
"I don't know how somebody with ordinary human durability survived that.." Sentabot said as he appeared right above Ezra suddenly. "But I still appear to outmatch you... JUSTICE EXECUTION KICK!!!!"
Sentabot twirled around in midair before sending a vicious rocket kick smashing into Ezra's back.
Ezra coughed up more blood and smashed into the earth below.
"Huh.." Sentabot muttered as he landed on the ground. "Her spine didn't break.. is this some aspect of her ability? Hmmm.. HEY! Just what is your power exactly.."
"You.. you're talking to a tree.." Ezra said as she got to her feet.
"OH!!!" Sentabot twirled around to face the actual Ezra. "I FORGOT!!!"
'THIS GUY IS AN IDIOT!' Ezra thought. 'Though.. on the other hand.. he's fast.. and his blows feel even stronger than they look. His fists and feet are armed with thrusters for extra blow by blow speed, and he seems to have excellent reflexes despite his idiocy.. I'm going to have to use it.."
"Quick question.." said Sentabot. "Why are you wearing a bikini?"
"THAT'S A ROCK!!" Ezra screamed. "AND THAT ROCK ISN'T WEARING A BIKINI!!!"
"OHHHH!! I FORGOT!!!" Sentabot screamed. "But still why the bikini!?"
"I control water, it's my theme!" said Ezra. "Heh, never mind, I don't need you to understand it.. after all.. I'm about to beat you.."
"From my perspective, it doesn't really seem that way." said Sentabot.
"Heh.. allow me to show you how wrong you are.." Ezra twirled her trident and slung it over her back, she then held out her hands.. "Jelly Fish Web.."
Clear blue rubbery stretchy gum-like substance dripped from Ezra's fingers.
"You ever watch Hunter X Hunter? Great anime." said Ezra. "Well the best way I can describe this, is it being a lot like that weird ability of the character Hisoka.. called Bungee Gum."
"I don't have time for this!!! FEEL JUSTICE IN!! JUSTICE ROCKET-" Sentabot began as he lunged forward.
"STREEEETCH!!!" Sentabot's fist became stuck in the clear blue gummy substance as Ezra had just shot a stream of it from her finger that exploded into a large net-like flat shape that attached itself to the surrounding trees.
"Jelly Fish art: Gum Net." "See, I can create this anywhere I see fit, as long as their's moisture around me.. I got the idea for this ability by watching Narina manipulate Carbon. Basically, I turn my water into ice, only, I stop halfway.. I allow my water molecules to just get to that point where they are compressed together as solids, however, their bonds are looser, and more elastic, and the water molecules pull and contract towards each other by my power's water manipulating bonds.. I called it Elastic Ice at first.. but I figured Jelly Fish Net fit the bill more.."
"What.. the..!?" Sentabot pulled his fist away, but the the giant rubbery net stuck to his fist, pulling it back.. as if he were stuck in a giant bubble gum puddle.
"JELLY FISH ART: CONFOUNDING BLUBBER!!" Ezra thrust her hands out, and Water blasted out into the air above Sentabot, before turning into the jelly substance that splattered down on him.
Sentabot struggled, stretchy Elastic Ice doused all over him, restraining him.
"DAMN IT!!" Sentabot's rockets activated, and he flew off into the sky. "STREEEEEEETTTTTCCCCHHHHHHH!!!" The rubbery Water jelly continued to stick to him and the ground, stretching thinner and thinner as it pulled back on the android.
"WHAAAAPPPPP!!! BOOOMMMM!!!" Finally, the elastic power of the rubbery water pulled Sentabot out of the air and brought him smashing back into the ground.
"Sorry." said Ezra, smiling. "But once my Jelly Fish Net sticks to something, there's no escape.."
"YOU WILL NEVER HOLD ME!!" Sentabot exclaimed.
"THAT'S A LADYBUG!!" Ezra roared.
"OOOOHHHH!!! I FORGOT!!!!"
A little ways away, Narina was resuming her fight with Chompani, who seemed at a moment, to have somehow been able to bypass her lustrous diamond and metal scales.
"JET DRAKE, PISTOL SHOT!!!" Narina, now in Hypersonic Empress mode, and she aimed a couple of electrically powered punches at Chompani, her speedy punches looking like gusts of air in the wake of the electric shockwaves.
But Chompani merely grinned as the punches bounced off his teeth with a resounding "GANG!"
"Sorry! Chompa Chompa!!" Chompani growled. "I'm made of the most durable substance ever discovered, my entire framework made of Zeusthem, an element discovered on Mars capable of absorbing any blow, and not just that.. but I'm also completely unmagnetizable.. not an ounce of carbon in my circuits!! CHOMPA CHOMPA!!"
"And let me guess.." Narina panted, clutching the bite mark on her side, which was bleeding. "Your teeth are made of it too.."
"CHOMPA CHOMPA! That's right!" said Chompani. "True, I'm nowhere near as fast as you when you're in that form!! But I can take all your blows just fine. So all I need to do is wait for you to close in.. and then take a big CHOMPA out of you as you try in vain to hurt me! CHOMPA CHOMPA!!"
Don't get cocky!!" Narina roared, shooting forward in a burst of unimaginable speed.. she sent a massive blast of lightning bolts from her palms at Chompani.
Chompani opened his jaws wide, grinning. "LONG RANGE ATTACKS DON'T WORK EITHER!!! CHOMPA CHOMPA!!!"
Chompani swallowed the electric blast within his jaws, glowing with powerful energy as he suddenly disappeared in a burst of speed and slammed his fin-like clawed palms into Narina's back.
Narina was sent hurtling into the ground with earth shattering impact..
She heaved heavily. Her defenses in this form were at it's lowest, and if she used her Light Speed mode, it would probably sap too much of her strength.. not to mention waste it if Chompani was as durable as she thought... there was only one form she could use.. and she needed to wait till the right moment..
Chompani blitzed around, laughing, now as fast as Narina's Hypersonic Empress, leaving blurred afterimages in his wake.
"My speed and power increases with the energy I consume, overall, I'm designed to take on fast and hard hitting enemies.. my durability allows me to tank out blow from faster foes, while waiting for them to get close enough for me deal my bites.. or absorb their energy attacks." said Chompani. "CHOMPA CHOMPA!! I am the Glutton Model Combat android, Chompani! Scalaknight is just a prototype! And can still use a few upgrades! But I've been upgraded and remodeled for years in service to the Iron Forge!!!"
"ZOOOMMMMM!!" Chompani disappeared in another burst of speed, reappearing in front of Narina.
"TIGER SHARK TRAP!!!!" Chompani opened his jaws incredibly wide, his teeth's edges burning molten to increase it's damaging power.
"THERE!!!" Narina sent out a punch. "JET DRAKE SNIPER!!!"
https://youtu.be/ViCoQy5F6p8
Narina sent a super speedy lightning punch straight into Chompani's jaws.. as this happened Narina glowed with bright light.. and returned to her Lunar Valkyrie form just as her punch landed in the back of Chompani's jaw.
At the same time, Chompani's jaws crunched down..
There was an explosive light of cosmic lightning, and a flash of blood, as Chompani and Narina were both sent hurling onto their backs.
"D-Damn!!" Chompani stood up shakily, coughing up oil from the back of his damaged throat. "She used the speed of that Hypersonic form to get into my weak point quick as I attacked.. and then changed at the last moment so the power of her attack would increase enough for some major damage.. that was smart.. but... BUT!!"
Chompani looked up at Narina, who was standing up now.. her right arm gone..
"SHE'S CRAZY!!" Chompani stammered. "CHOMPA CHOMPA!! She sacrificed that entire arm for just one freaking attack!!"
Narina began to chuckle She held up her right stump.. and it began to glow with electrical energy, as bones and muscle began to regrow..
"WH-WHAAAAAAAT!!?" Chompani screamed.
"Instant Regeneration.." said Narina. "You see, I have to combine my Shocker Girl powers with my Dragon ones for this to work. Dragons have very fast healing wounds, and thanks to the type of bodies they have.. when their wounds heal, it recreates the area to just the way it was before it was wounded.. however, not enough for instant regeneration.. or even regrowing limbs at all..
So I stimulated my cell's energy with electricity, causing my cell division cycles to go on overdrive.. and this is the result.."
"BUT YOU WOULD SHORTEN YOUR LIFE SPAN!!!" Chompani screamed. "The amount of times your cells divide is predetermined!!"
"That would normally be the case," said Narina as she flexed her now completely regrown arm which regained it's metal and diamond scales. "Except, you see, when you control electricity, you can control quite a lot.. not just carbon and metal.. but biological functions too.. I sent a pulse through my nerve endings specifically targeting points in my DNA that control Cell Division, to make sure that wouldn't happen.. "
Narina chuckled again. "But of course, you don't need to call hax quite yet.. I can only perform this on myself.. extending this level of concentration and control outside of my own body in somebody else could kill me or drive me insane.. and it expends so much energy, I can only regenerate once a day.. and if I don't regenerate a wound while it's still fresh, I won't be able to regenerate a lost limb about 4 hours after I've received it.."
Chompani grinned. "So.. that means I can chomp off another arm right now.. and it would be gone forever.."
"Essentially yes." said Narina. "But hey.. don't be shy.. here take an arm.
Narina held out an arm. "If you can.."
"DON'T THINK A BLUFF CAN SAVE YOU NOW GIRL!!!" Chompani charged forward, opening his jaws again. "TIGER SHARK TRAP!!!"
"CHOMMMMMMMPPPPP!!!" there was the sound of crunching metall...
"Wh-WHAAATT!?" Chompani choked.. his teeth had just dented and tore as he chomped into Narina's arm.
"Say hello to Adamantium Queen." said Narina, revealing her form had just changed as Chompani charged.
"WHAM!" Narina got out her other arm and pinned the back of Chompani's neck to herself.. making it so Chompani couldn't escape, his broken jaws stuck on her right arm.
"You see.. I already knew... or estimated at least that my Adamantium Queen form was more durable then you by a long shot." said Narina. "But that form was too slow to make much of a difference.. and if it became obvious that you couldn't damage me.. you might have decided to switch out with your buddies there.."
Scalamander chuckled as he watched. "Nice.. smart.. That indeed would be Chompani's strategy."
Hammor sighed. "That idiot.."
"So, I needed a way to make this form work." continued Narina. "So I sacrificed my arm and tried an incredibly insane tactic to unnerve you.. so you'd attack me without thinking.. and when you got close.. you made the same mistake I did when I attacked you head on.. and I used my durability against you."
"Ba.. Bastard.. copying my strategy.. Chompa.. Chompa.." Chompani choked.
"You basically did the same thing.. " said Narina, "using the fact that your bites could actually pierce my diamond scales to unnerve me, so I'd become reckless, and then using your durability to allow me to come close as a counter to my superior speed so you could land another serious blow. I figured it would be nice for you to get a taste of your own medicine."
Narina grinned. "If you had fought me after I was fresh out of the Academy, you most definitely would've won this fight.. however, ever since I trained with the Covert division of the Powers Society, I've learned to think on my feet at all times, and fight dirty when needed.. Even from the moment you first bit my shoulder, I was already devising your weaknesses. "
Narina's tail constricted around Chompani's body like a snake. "For instance. Though you're highly durable, your armor is still malleable like metal.. and there are chinks in the armor to allow you to move your joints.. like with any robotic body.. which means, though I can't damage you with punches.. if I play it like a python and just squeeze you.. that'll be fine.. And Adamantium Queen's tail is strong enough to whip Chuck Norris like a swatter on a fly."
Narina's tail squeezed Chompani, and he began to choke out oil and fluids.. before there was a sudden spark.. and Chompani fell onto the ground.. a piled mess of circuits, joints, armor and wires... his head sitting on the mess.
"Screw.. you.." Chompani choked, his eyes sparking from damage. "Ch-chompa.. Ch-chompa.."
Another few distances away, Violet smiled serenely. "Hmmm. it seems we're in the clear so far.."
"I'm afraid it's a bit soon to be talking about that.." Senes appeared right next to Violet. "CLAIRVOYANT SHREDDER!!!"
Senes lashed out a speedy set of kicks so fast, that wind surged from them, as he sent a precise kick into each and every one of Violet's nerve points.
Violet just stood there lazily however, as her body turned into shadows with every point that Senes kicked.
"Oridinary physical attacks don't work on me." said Violet. "Only dragons, the natural enemies of demons can actually hit my body with pure physical attacks.. "
"GUILLOTINE KICK!!!" Senes leapt into the air and sent a vicious overhead kick through Violet's neck, slashing an entire 2 mile wide plateau in half behind her....
Violet's neck just turned into shadow however and then reattached.
"I must give you credit though." said Violet. "You're faster then Narina's Hypersonic Empress form more level headed than Ezra.. your blows hit harder than Nue when she's in a foul mood, you've got more guts than Sora.. I have to admit, you're definitely one of the strongest androids I've ever seen... unfortunately you picked the wrong opponent.. "
Senes sighed and brought out a cup of tea, sipping it. "Well, I would imagine there must be other ways to damage you other than gaining some dragonish capabilities..."
"Yes, there are.." said Violet.
"I imagine energy based attacks are the best bet.. but apparently witnesses have stated that your power was immune to Narina's electric powers when you two first met.."
"Well.. you've done your research." said Violet.
"However, this power is not unlimited." said Senes. "If Reaper, who has no trace of dragon in him, and neither does the former Number 2 Emperor Rezo.. and you were seen as the weakest of the three.. it must logically follow that they have some method of getting past your Shadow Form.."
Violet nodded. "Yes.. but pure physical force, I can assure you, is something that I'm absolutely immune to..
"Really?" Senes smiled slightly. "Valarie.. come here.."
"WHAT!?" Hammor stammered. "She isn't ready to-"
"Just watch." said Senes. "I've done enough of my share of research on the Cique Le Dead to know how to beat her.. "
Narina and Ezra both approached, having come over from their respective battles...
"Stay put." said Violet. "You two are still pretty beaten up from your fights.."
"No complaints.." Narina groaned, her Tail drooping a little as she felt fatigue . "Not sure I wanna move anymore.."
Violet looked at the other androids. "You seem like fair fighters, despite the accusations of genocide against you, you won't interfere if we win?"
2 against one.. you've already won. " said Scalaknight. "Our code of conduct is the same as the royal Knights of his Majesty. If such a thing has already happened.. then we will leave for the time being regardless of this matchup's situation.. however.."
"We're going to take a good look at this fight.. to attempt to ascertain your weaknesses.. and if you abandon the battle.. we will get involved.. and crush your little Ryuu village immediately after.." said Hammor.
Senes walked away, as the hooded figure took his place. "Know well Violet Kedaver, My brethren may be honorable.. but I'm not one who fights honorably.. for instance.. this little trick.."
Violet's eyes flashed as her arm turned into a shadowy spear. "very well.. I'll crush this one before your tricks have a chance to work.."
"Oh.. really?" whispered Valerie from under her hood. "Then I shall move to crush you as well.."
The android raised an arm, electricity blasting from her fist as she charged up for an attack.
"Electrokinesis?" Ezra muttered. "The way she does it.. seems familiar.."
"Electron Wyrm Combat: Mark 2 Activate.." The girl android became a blur as suddenly she sped at Violet, her cloak and hood flying off of her as she attacked.
'She's quick..' thought Violet. 'But I can counter by stabbing through her.. her..'
Violet stopped mid swing.. her eyes going wide...
Valerie's face had just come into full view.. and even with her visor down...
Violet recognized the face..
Her entire body froze...
She couldn't.... she just couldn't..
If there was one thing she couldn't do any longer.. not after the first time...
She just could not bring herself to hurt Narina Yukata..
"BOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!" Valerie's lightning enveloped fist exploded against Violet, sending her hurtling through several rows of trees in an explosive gesture of power.
"Power expended.." Valerie said, her large robotic eye on her visor glowing as it calculated damage differences and energy levels. "12 percent.. "
"That with just 12 percent of her full strength." said Scalaknight. "Not bad.."
"TH-THAT!!!" Ezra stammered, her eyes wide. "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!!!?"
Narina was speechless. That face.. that was the face she saw in the mirror every day ever since her own Rebirth..
"Ah... " said Senes with a grin. "So we know having dragon synthetic DNA works too.. which means Scalaknight could also possibly hurt Cirque Le Dead. And the shock of seeing Valerie's appearance made it so the trees were also able to damage her.. which means she has to be consciously using her power for the Shadow Body to work.. so catching her in an ambush might work.."
Violet rose from the ground, wiping blood from her chin. Her eyes flashed with absolute rage. "WHAT THE HELL!? HOW THE HELL... Did... you.. MAKE THAAAAT AAAAANNNNNDDRRRRRROOOIOIIIIDDD!!!!?"
Violet's psychopathic personality exploded from her, her demonic voice tearing out at the second half of the sentence, as she rose into the sky, a swirling cyclone of shadows obscuring her bottom half.. her teeth turning to fangs, her eyes glowing a deathly green..
The earth began to tremble with Violet's rage...
Valerie clenched her fists.. readying herself. "Raising power to 45 percent.."
"Enough!" said Hammor. "We've seen what we needed to see.. Let's pull back for now.. with your amount of experience Valerie, even you wouldn't be able to beat Cirque Le Dead.. you need to run through several battle simulations first before we're sure you're ready."
Valerie resumed a normal blank look, her visor going up to reveal her glowing violet eyes. "Neh? O-okay."
"She's shy too.. just like Narina.." Ezra stammered. "Damn.. what the hell is going on here?"
Hammor gathered what remained of Chompani in his arms. "Oy! Sentabot! You done moping!?"
"Yeah.. I am.."
"KKKKAAABOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!" The Rubbery Jelly Fish Net water was suddenly blasted away and vaporized as Sentabot shot into the sky then exploded into the ground next to Hammor.
"WHAT!?" Ezra stammered. "H-HE ESCAPED!?"
"A pity Ezra Tobuki the Rain Storm.." said Sentabot. "I was unable to charge up my full power in time to take you on at my best.. but.. there's always another fight right?"
"Sentabot's full power requires 5 minutes of meditation." said Chompani with a weak choke. "Heheh... ack.. eh.. Chompa Chompa.. don't think.. you've won human scum.. you haven't seen ANYTHING one of what we're really capable of.. not yet.. "
And with that.. the androids disappeared in an explosion of smoke...
Leaving behind two things.
A couple of very confused girls...
And one very enraged part demon..
