Chapter 44: Break Away

Jacob: "(coughing) I'm definitely not seeing the light."

Jacob, Shoma, Randy, Lariat, Connor, Kyle, Tori, and Dante are surrounded by another dozen.

Shoma: "Trust me, you don't want to see the light."

Randy summons Osiris.

Randy: "Really?"

Lucas: "At least where we're from, it sucks."

Randy hops onto Osiris's back.

Lariat: "Well, then we're not dying."

The archers ready their bows.

Kyle: "I like the way you talk!"

The soldiers close in.

Osiris: "Don't let it get-"

Connor is zipping around the soldiers.

Connor: "IT'S ALREADY IN MY HEAD!!!!"

Tori: "(sighing) Great."

Dante changes to a snake and slithers into a hole.

Dante: "You guys take care of finding the weakness!"

Shoma and Jacob defend against two attacks.

Jacob: "(struggling) If my arms don't turn into jelly by then!"

The two jump back since the force the enemies put into their punches could shatter a normal person's arm.

Lariat: "Huh?"

Connor gets bashed in the face mid attack, causing a major nosebleed.

Connor: "What the hell?!"

Randy and Osiris get hit in the guts with one punch.

Osiris: "(coughing) What's going on?"

They're locked in a bad situation.

Meanwhile...

The boy with the platinum hair and dragon scale is sitting beside a barren road.

Boy: "Nice and peaceful..."

A strange feeling tingles throughout his body.

Boy: "I missed the feeling of-"

His body forces him to stand.

Boy: "Wh-What's my body doing?!"

His body forces him to turn towards a scuffle going on in the distance.

Boy: "Seriously? It's already over?"

He rushes towards the scuffle as long, metal claws extends from his armguards.

Boy: "I just hope it's one of the others."

Meanwhile...

Jacob: "(in pain) Oof..."

The heroes are getting massacred by the enemy.

Tori: "(verge of crying) They're like metal boulders."

Jacob's armor is beginning to seemingly rip from the chest outwards.

Connor: "(coughing) And we still have no clue about what's their weakness."

Randy is sent flying off Osiris in a single punch to the ribs, with him feeling a rib crack.

Osiris: "Randy!"

Lariat has blood in his eye.

Lariat: "(bleeding) Where is it?"

Little do they know, the sun is hiding the weakness based on their angle.

Dante: "(weakly) Hold... on..."

Dante however, can see a faint mark at the back of one's neck, but he's taken the worst beating after being yanked out of the ground.

Shoma: "(deep breath) We're just not seeing it."

Shoma is trying to keep his composure.

Lucas: "It' just bizarre that we haven't found it yet."

Jacob stumbles back onto his feet.

Jacob: "(coughing) Dante?"

Dante is pointing at the back of a soldier's neck.

Dante: "(weakly) There..."

Dante passes out.

Kyle: "(in pain) Where?"

Jacob leaps into the air.

Jacob: "Go for the necks!"

Jacob tosses his katana straight through a soldier's neck, killing him instantly.

Lariat: "The sun..."

The katana breaks apart into balls of light before reforming in Jacob's hand.

Randy: "(in pain) Neat."

They may know what to hit, but they're badly injured and their closing in.

Connor: "Too late..."

Four soldiers lunge towards Kyle and Tori.

Kyle: "I lived a good life."

Suddenly, white balls of light zip right into the soldier's necks before exploding.

???: "That armor..."

The boy with the scale now has dragon looking limbs and a menacing look in his eyes.

Jacob: "The sixth piece, Jason Velour."

He touches the scale on his neck. returning to his normal attire.

Jason: "Say what now?"

A golden aura forms around him as Connor zips over and picks up Dante.

Shoma: "It's a weird situation."

Jason punches behind him with his claws, skewering another soldier's neck.

Jason: "Listen, I have no idea who any of you are, but he's wearing the Original One's armor."

Connor darts away from the scuffle.

Connor: "I'll be right back."

Before anyone can blink, Connor already returned Dante to base and came back.

Randy: "(coughing) You're with Jake, right?"

Osiris has finally managed to get Randy back onto his back.

Jason: "You guys know Jake and the others?"

Lariat, Kyle, and Tori can't aim with their injuries.

Osiris: "Correct."

Lariat: "(bleeding) Your friends are with us."

The aura glows bright.

Jacob: "Look, my name is Jacob and I've got a very convoluted explanation when we're not on the verge of meeting the guy who had a surplus of cholesterol in the bright light."

The archers are forced to fall back.

Kyle: "(in pain) Wrap this up!"

They awkwardly stumble towards base.

Connor: "You two need help?"

Randy and Osiris are trying to get away as well as a soldier heads for them.

Osiris: "(awkwardly) Yeah..."

Connor smacks a hole in one into the soldier's neck as Shoma stabs another one through the neck.

Lucas: "Come on!"

The remaining heroes leaves as the aura around Jason and Jacob glows bright.

Jacob: "Now we can go all out."

Jason goes full blown dragon after touching the scale.

Jacob/ Jason: "Synergy Attack..."

White balls of light surround all of the enemies.

Jacob/ Jason: "... Future Hope..."

Jason lunges towards two with white light swarming around his claws while Jacob goes for the remaining three with his katana with a gilded light at the edge.

Jacob/ Jason: "... Supernova Style!"

The attacks from both heroes detonate the light and causes them to jolt back to avoid taking damage.

Jacob: "Seems like we're in a very explosive action movie."

The dust settles as the soldiers drop dead.

Jason: "(changing back) Now who are you and where are the others?"

Jacob looks towards base.

Jacob: "Don't worry, I'll definitely make your head explode on the way."

Jacob begins to walk towards base when he takes off his armor.

Jason: "(deep breath) I'll try to keep it under control."

Jason follows...
