Night One Hundred And Ninety Two
Age 1991
Gladious City...
The Arena...
Shelly let out a sigh as she slowly set off towards the arena. She walked up and stood on her end letting out a heavy sigh as a small pink flame seemed to slowly flow down her arms. She looked up when she heard the foot steps.
"I guess you're the one I'm going to beat- What the hell..." Shelly asked frowning when she saw her enemy.
He was tall standing at nearly seven feet and had massive muscles. He wore the official Enforcer uniform and had one two pairs of thick heavy metal brass knuckles. But he wasn't an Equip Type. He was a Transformation. Shelly could tell...
Because his entire head was a massive gun...
"I hope you're ready!" Kidd announced loudly the barrel of his gun head coming out. "Heavy Rain!" He announced as the barrel began to spin...
"No talk at all?" Shelly asked with wide eyes. Everyone else got a moment to talk and get a feel for their opponent but he seemed like he was going right into it with no time to strike. A 'he who strikes first wins' kind of attack. "We could at least exchange back stories-" The bullets exploded out of his gun head shutting Shelly up as she let out a curse and jumped to the side. Blood splashed out spraying the floor red as Shelly received several bullets to the side as she slid back to avoid the best her eyes wide with mild fear, and major pain.
As she slid back, Kidd who remained standing still, simply turned his head to follow her the billions, and trillions, of bullets following after her.
Shelly waved her hands up blasting out a pink flame to blast herself further back to dodge the attacks. As soon as she got a second she pressed one of her hands to her side a pink glow coming out as she used some of her energy to heal her side. She didn't have long though as within seconds Kidds head turned back towards her and she had to dodge once again. His attack speed was insane. All he had to do was simply look at what he wanted to attack. A sight based power...
"Oh s##t he's packing heat!" Shelly heard yelled out from Hero Law in the Squad Six Box.
Her eyes were wide as she jumped to the side a massive wave of bullets and flames exploding out of the metal head that belonged to Kidd. His barrel spun at a fast speed as a hail of bullets seemed to flow out making it look as if it was a beam of orange energy. Everywhere he looked was shredded to bits the floor being ripped apart sending shards of rocks and debris across the arena at a fast speed.
Olf who stood off to the side let out several screams of panic as hundreds of sharp rocks all stabbed around him.
"I want a new job!" He sobbed out.
Many of the rocks blasted towards the crowd but never reached them as Ward, one of the Four Sacred Beasts of Master Storm jumped down waving his arm out and creating a mass of green energy forming a barrier to protect them.
Several of the jagged rocks blasted down towards many of the Enforcers. Each Box had their own way to keep themselves safe. In box One Max created a wave of lava to block them, Box Two Thorn cocked her head to the side hundreds of vines and whips flying out and slashing the bullets out, Squad Three Reine brought her hands together a blue aura covering her body and what looked like a glass horse exploded out galloping out and blocking her and her team, in Squad Four Tsun used her power to turn into armor which wrapped around a team mate who flashed forward and used their body to block the bullets protected by Tsun, in Squad Five the rocks and bullets simply bent around them and didn't hit any of them, in Box Six Hero changed his arm into its clawed form and jumped forward slashing his arm out and using it to block the bullets, Box Seven Lucy's case opened up as a beast flew out which worked as a meat shield, Box Eight which was filled with girls only Hero Noted, had a blonde girl blocked all the bullets and rocks, her entire head igniting and becoming a massive flaming skull that spat out flames and burned the bullets, the sight of which made Hero decide to keep an eye on their Squad, Squad Nine had Rilla who ripped a boulder out of the ground and raised it up as a shield, Squad Ten, a boy with a sword of light deflected all the bullets, Squad Eleven, a mass of shadows raised up covering their box up forming a dome, and Squad Twelve Arthur Pendragon fired forward using his sword to block the bullets.
The hail of bullets finally died as Shelly came to a sliding stop.
"Wow he attacked everyone and didn't even move!" Hero yelled.
"Hero please shut up..." Shelly sighed though Hero was far away meaning he never heard it. She stared at Kidd who didn't move still. "So... Why'd you stop?" She asked.
"I am cooling down."
"Cooling down? Oh I get it." She smirked. "You can't keep up that bullet barrage for long can you? It's fast, and powerful, blasting and ripping, anything you look at apart, but you have to rest now don't you."
"Hmm... I over did it a bit I'll admit. I am currently over heating now." He nodded.
"Then in that cast." Pink flames blasted out of Shelly's hands as she fired towards him. "I guess I'll take you out while you're weak." She announced twisting around and jumping at him. She raised her entire arm out which ignited as a pink explosion came out. Kidd however, despite being large and covered in rippling muscles was insanely fast as he spun out of the way the blast flying past him. Still in the air Shelly turned just in time as Kidd raised his arm up, the iron knuckle on it slamming down towards her.
"Kidd... Mega... Ultra... Fighting... Powered... Super... Punch!" He announced. Despite saying it loud though his voice didn't raise that much. A massive barrel formed out of his elbow and blasted out a wave of flames like an engine which fired his massive arm down as hard as he could. The punch slammed into Shelly and sent out a massive blast as the sound barrier exploded. "My fists can punch through solid steel. You should have never let me punch you-"
Kidd suddenly went silent and gave a gasp. ]
At least as good a gasp a man with a gun for a head to give.
The smoke cleared showing Shelly was back on the ground the punch never actually hitting her as her hand was out and she somehow caught the fist. His hand was massive and her entire hand couldn't even wrap around it. Her hand looked bruised and several of her fingers were snapped and shattered from blocking the punch but she had still somehow stopped it. Kidd let out a loud growl more flames and heat blasting out of his arm creating a massive force as he tried to use it to force his arm forward but Shelly didn't budge her small frame somehow holding his entire mass of power back.
"H... How the hell are you so strong?" Kidd growled.
Shelly gave a small smirk pink flames exploding off of her. "I was placed onto Squad One you know. Don't think I'm just some helpless girl who needs help to win a fight. Besides before these games a boy named Hero on my Squad was sent away for a little while. During that time many of us trained as Kitsune said he'd go and get stronger. I trained for weeks with Ken. And compared to her your punch isn't even that good."
"That damn loli hits harder than me? But that doesn't even make any sense-"
Shelly slammed a flaming punch into his gut blasting him back across the arena. His feet grinding into the stone as he stopped himself from flying off the side of it. He slowly tripped over grabbing his stomach as the barrel opened and blood sprayed out of it from the punch.
Shelly placed a hand on her hips and gave a small smile. "So as you can see I'm so much stronger than you." She flipped her hair back the flames slowly dying down. "Honestly I haven't even used my max power. Not even close." The pink energy covered her hand healing her fingers and skin. "I could do so much worse attacks. My Flame Cursed Power is one of the strongest ones that ever existed. If Kitsune's fire is like a blazing sun, then I guess you could say my flames are like the heat death of the universe. I don't burn. I erase. With one attack I could fully wipe you down beyond your atoms."
"I had no idea Shelly was so scary..." Hero muttered a shiver coming out of him.
"I'm reconsidering several things..." Ken said a shiver also going down her spine.
"Like hell her flames are stronger than mine!" Kitsune yelled pointing at Shelly. "I'm the fire user here! I'm so much stronger and cooler! The fans like me a lot more after all. Besides with my new power up I bet I could beat her. I mean I was able to basically beat Hero and create one of the coolest fights ever!"
"Still..." Irene said letting out a sigh. "We're lucky that her enemy isn't that strong."
"No..." Everyone went silent as Light spoke up. He shook his head his arms shaking as he gripped his gun. "It's not over... I can feel it... There's.... There's something else... Something else that's coming..."
"What?"
Back up in the arena Shelly let out a sigh. "So can we finish this already or what?" She asked. A ball of pink flames forming in her hands which began to spin around faster, and faster, and faster. "Or do you really want me to finish you off and blast you off the side? Cause I will do that." She smiled.
The arena went silent however when a mechanical sound suddenly echoed out. A sound of metal on metal. It took everyone a moment to figure out it was Kidd... He was... Laughing... The laughter was dark though. So much more broken and busted. He was slowly snapping his back up into place as the barrel of his gun lit up and flames started to pour out.
Shelly let out a tisk her tongue clicking. "Damn it... I guess he cooled off huh..."
The laughter didn't stop as Kidd raised his hand up to his chest. "This pain... Will make me stronger." He announced.
"W... What?" Shelly asked frowning.
Kidds body began to glow as more and more flames began to form out of his barrel. His veins seemed to suddenly light up as if fire was running through his very veins. The bright glow was intense and so much fire seemed to be boiling inside of him as if the sun itself ran through his blood. The ground below him began to melt and from the barrel so much masses of flames started to come out. He reached out undoing the knuckle dusters and dropping them. There was so much heat that they began to melt and Shelly started to have an intense sweat. The molten stone began to drip from under him as his bodys glow got brighter. The gun on his head grew in size getting bigger as the barrel on it grew out getting longer.
"I'm not just a gun you know..." Kidd laughter got louder... "I'm the whole damn arsenal." His left arm from the elbow down turned into a mass of metal forming a large jagged blade covered in razor sharp edges. His right arm sprouted out several barrels which all began to glow. His lower half seemed to sprout out large wheels and razor blades. A massive metal tail stabbing out of his rear. Large guns and knives began to form out of his chest as armor molded over his flesh. From his back several shot guns seemed to form pointing left and right as if they were wings made of guns? More flames began to pour off of him and he raised up off of the ground. Finally his head changed from the barrel of a gun to a massive missile launcher...
Shelly stared up staring with wide eyes. "Uh... What?"
"Hellish Rain!" Kidd screamed trillions of bullets, fire, knives, and missiles all blasting out of him...
It was time for the real fight to begin...
