Chapter 20: True Form (2)
Fen, as if he weren't in a fight at the moment, stretched out while cracking his neck, humming the first five words of "Tip toe through the Window" over and over again. It gave the mercenaries a strong feeling of dread, this young man, who was generally normal, now looked like a Demon straight from the gates of Hell.
(Fen)"Hm...so this is my true body?"
(Eruka)"I-I can feel it, too! He's, like, ten times as powerful than earlier!"
(Bah)"That's some bullshit, we pumped him full of lead and bombs! How's he still ali-"
In an instant, Fen was behind he Oozai cyborg, his left pinky finger raised. And when Bah turned around, his right hand was somehow on the ground.
(Fen)"Interesting...my magic, it feels as though it's not conflicting with each other anymore. And my mind, it too, feels different..."
(Bah)"F-Fucking blimey! I couldn't see the bloke move, even with my artificial eye, that could track a bullet fifty meters away!"
(Fuhil)"Guys, I'm not sure if we can beat him now, but we gotta try at least!"
His puppet fighter went to attack once more, but was promptly smashed into matchwood with a single punch.
(Fuhil)"Huh?!"
(Fen)"...You reym, did you really think a child's play thing would work on me at this level?"
(Fuhil)"His personality has changed along with his power! It's like Fen's a different person now!"
The Mizune Family were about to fly away, but Fen was too quick for them.
(Fen)"Brahnu brahnu brahnu brahnu, brahnu!"
He knocked each one out of the air like flys. Eruka and Fuhil could do nothing but quiver in fear at the Prince's newly achieved power, but the green cyborg brought them back to their senses.
(Bah)"Hey now, don't let everyone go all to pot just cause he's gotta a new power up!"
(Fuhil)"R-Right, just have to overwhelm the opponent!"
He summoned another puppet, this one was smaller, and less humanoid than the last.
(Fen)"Another toy? You must really be a child."
(Mizune)"Ugh...I don't know if it'll mean anything, but it's now or never! Sisters, it's time to merge!"
One by one, the little mouse Witches rose from their craters, snapping in unison. From youngest to oldest, they assembled into a long pillar, and in a puff of purple smoke, a new entity stood in there place, with a rather...vulgar outfit.
(Spoiler. I always wonder what they'd look like if the eldest Mizune was still alive.)
(Fen)"...Excuse me, what?"
(Mizune)"Chi-Chi-Chi, a mouse will bite when cornered, even if it's a snake!"
While being distracted by the Witch's...choices, Bah snuck up on Fen, his missing hand replaced with a blade.
(Bah)"Hehehe, I bet you had no idea that I have weapons hidden everywhere within my cybernetic body, not just my stomach! I'll cut your bloody chest open, like a corpulent pig-"
Without warning, a thin black arm popped out of his back, knocking Bah to the ground. Ragnarok followed suit, much more humanoid now, but not as muscular as Erik.
(Kinda like this.)
(Ragnarok)"Wh-Whoa! I'm feeling stronger, too! We can definitely beat their asses now!"
(Fen)"You've also transformed? This is all very interesting. Now, let's get this over with..."
Ragnarok in his Sword form was also different, instead of a thin blade, he was now a broadsword, just like Erik. In this form, he let out a blood-curdling shriek, powerful enough to shake the ground.
He went down and clashed with Bah's hidden sword, but quickly sawed through it like butter due to the vibration.
(Bah)"The hell?! That things a bloody chainsaw!"
(I just wanted to use British slang as much as possible. Sue me.)
He was about to cut Bah in half, (He can tell what parts are organic and full of life, or vital for him to live. Pink Oozai are good at that.) but Fuhil's new puppet fired a spear into Fen's back.
(Fuhil)"Ha! Gotcha!"
But to the Oozai's surprise, Fen's torso stretched out where the spear was hitting, and launched it in the distance.
(Fuhil)"Huh?! It didn't even puncture his skin!?/Hm...I heard that the true forms of the Zai Family increase the amount of Determination their souls produce."
(Fuhil)"Too much of it can melt Oozai flesh, but maybe because Fen's body is Half-Witch, it's probably keeping it in a semi-solid state, allowing it to stretch. But that's just a theory, I'm no doctor!"
(Dr. Proton's Diagnosis: Yes.)
Fen noticed Eruka throwing dozens of tadpole bombs, and he suddenly bit off the tip of his right index finger!
(Fen)"Bloody Bullet!"
He held out his hand like a gun, and several glops of Black Blood like, well, bullets. As they hit the first wave of bombs, their explosions set off the others in a chain reaction that led to Eruka, launching her info a boulder.
(Fen)"I must say, this is a little disappointing. The last guy was able to give me a sight challenge!"
The Oozai and Demon Sword were about to resume their assault with the mouse Witch fusion, but they were suddenly shot in the back with something that felt like a bullet, but something was off about it.
(Fen)"Eh?? Where'd that come from?"
(???)"You Witches have a lot of nerve, revealing yourselves so close to Death City..."
The boy turned around to see a three, younger individuals. One had blue hair, and a confident expression.
The other young man wore a very simple and symmetrical outfit, and held two pistols.
The final kid, the only female, had a long black coat and a giant scythe.
(Fen)"Who are you three...wait. there's more than three, I can feel at least four others around here."
(Girl)"We're students of DWMA, and we're here for your souls!"
(Ragnarok)"Why does everybody want this kid's fucking soul!?"
(Fen)"Gohma wants it to free another, more powerful Oozai. I'll explain later."
(Mizune)"DWMA?! Why'd you transport us all here, you wooden moron?!"
(Fuhil)"I didn't see it!"
(Mizune)"What do you mean you didn't see it?! It's fucking massive!"
(Fen)"Um, excuse me. I'm not your enemy, just so you know. These people attacked me f-"
(Black★Star)"You can't trick me! I'm Black★Star, the one who'll be above God one da-"
The kid known as "Black★Star", yes it's actually spelled with the shape, launched himself into Fen's gut instead of the weapon in his hands. But just like the spear, the Oozai's abdomen stretched like a rubber band, and flung him into the dirt. And when he landed, his weapon transformed into a Human girl.
(Weapon)"Are you okay?!"
(Black★Star)"Y-Yeah...!"
(Fen)"Oh my, so there are magic Humans who can transform into weapons? But you seem to be against Witches, what makes you different?"
(Brown-Haired Girl)"His skin is like rubber! So do blunt attacks not work?"
(Scythe)"Then we'll just cut him in half!"
(Fen)"Is that scythe a Human, too? Just what is this place? *Looks up* They even have the same moon as the one back home."
(Bah)"Oi! Not so fast, you little brats! We saw him first, you'll have to go through us to fight Fen!"
(Fuhil)"Uh, you sure about that? I head these guys are pretty strong, too."
(Bah)"Don't get yellow bellied now! We've still got a chance here!"
The two Oozai and Mizune turned their attention to the "Meisters", as they are known by in Death City. Black★Star regained composure and clashed with Fuhil's puppet. That strange girl transformed into a pair of little scythes connected by a chain and pulled one of its arms off.
(Fuhil)"Ha! You fell for my trap!"
A blade emerged from the severed arm's elbow joint as it flew towards the blue-haired boy and stabbed him in the shoulder. Ignoring the pain, he threw both ends of the weapon girl, which planted themselves into the ground and launched himself into the puppet's body, only for six curved knives to spring out.
(Fuhil)"And that's my trap's trap!"
(Black★Star)"Well I got a trap for your! Didn't you see where Tsubaki landed??"
(Fuhil)"Huh?!"
He only had a second to look around before the two scythes cut his wooden body in two, along with his arms.
(Fuhil)"....Well damn, you got me."
(Bah)"Fuhil?! You blokes are stronger than I gave credit! But either way, I'll still turn all of you into beehives!!!"
Bah's opponent was the scythe wielder. She was surprisingly good at fighting with a weapon so big and heavy, each swing had enough speed and force to cut down a tree with a single slice. And from what Fen could hear from atop a large boulder he was sitting on to observe the fight, her name was "Maka", and that scythe was a boy named, "Soul". The two were an excellent duo, especially since they're fighting an Oozai, who's currently firing hundreds of bullets at them, like it was nothing. Aggravated with his lack of progress, he got another missile ready.
But when he launched it, Maka actually jumped on the explosive, raising her weapon over her head. She brought Soul down, cutting the cyborg Oozai in two. Thankfully for him, his brain was now a small computer processor in the organic part if his head, and Fuhil was just a soul possessing a wooden doll, do the two were perfectly fine.
(Bah)"B-Bloody hell...!"
(Fen)"Huh, that was quite the spectacle. Wait, what about the mice-"
His question was answered by the gunslinger, "Death the Kid", he heard all their names, chasing the Witch sisters off, who've defused and transformed into their animal counterpart. Apparently, one of the ears on their fused form's hat was a little smaller than the other, and triggered his OCD, reminding him if his brother's habit.
(Kid)"Get back here, you little pest! I'll blast both your ears off to make it even!!"
(Fen)"...Ok."
He was just about to collect the two assassins so he could later hand them over to the authorities back home, but he felt the cold blade of "Soul Eater" on the back of his neck, the Black Blood being the only thing keeping his head on his shoulders. Looks like slashing attacks still do damage to his strange body.
(Maka)"Huh, it stopped?!"
(Fen)"Whoa, whoa, whoa! We can put the weapons down now! I'm not the bad guy here!"
(Maka)"And how do you expect me to believe you?"
(Fen)"Um....oh! Do you remember a blue Man by the name of Riivrax coming here to ask about Witches?"
(Maka)"Riivrax? ...Yeah, I remember him. He and another person came to see Death."
(Fen)"Yeah, that was about me and my other sibling, Crona! Me and her...he...them, me and them can from this full-blooded Witch, Medusa. But we had no idea she was a bad person! Trust me, I don't have a single bad bone in my body!"
The scythe boy transformed into a white haired teen with sharp teeth.
(Soul)"That freak was asking about some real powerful and deceptive Witches, how do we know that hasn't rubbed off on you?!"
(Fen)"I-Ugh! Here! Look at this and see for yourself!!"
He physically reached deep inside his chest, and pulled out his magenta soul, audibly beating and radiating with magical energy.
(Fen)"As you can see, it is not a Witch's soul, and if you can tell, I've never killed a single person. AND! I've literally gotten into a (hopefully) loving relationship just about two hours ago! That enough proof for you?!"
(Maka)"D-Doesn't that hurt...?"
(Fen)"A little bit! It wouldn't if I was born blue!"
(Soul)"... Alright, we're convinced..."
(Fen)"Good! Now if you excuse me, I have a couple Oozai who're going to jail!"
He picked up the mercenaries and was about to open a portal, but the cyborg was suddenly laughing to himself.
(Bah)"H-Heh, hehehe..."
(Fen)"What's so funny?"
(Bah)"Boy, you got no clue what you're in for, now...!"
That gave the Prince some concern, but he suddenly noticed that the other Witch had transformed into a frog and tried to hop away unseen. Before she could escape, he set his foot down on her body with just enough force to keep her pinned down.
(Fen)"Sorry, but you're going to jail too."
(Eruka)"D-Dammit..."
