Chereads / The 12th Guardian / Chapter 54 - E

Chapter 54 - E

With the dust settling we see a sideways knocked out Obitiga. It seems the attack that knocked him off Trima had landed a strong blow, knocking him out.

"And that's the end of ROUND 1!"

[The Announcer]

"That was too easy."

[Kris - as he laughs and returns to his team side]

"Now for Round 2, can our Riders please step up."

[The Announcer]

With Obitiga out of the race that left just the nine racers.

"This time we are going to spice it up a bit. Will 4 racers please step up, that's 2 from each team."

[The Announcer]

Both Sirisa and Gixoh begin to move towards the battle arena. While two strangers, from the Explosive Riders team made their way forward.

"It looks like both sides have decided!"

[The Announcer]

"Chiga! Look..it looks like one of those tiny lizards we eat for breakfast."

[Unknown Rider - Pointing at Gixoh]

"I wonder if it has a spicy kick to it too, Minito."

[Chiga]

"Did he just call me a spicy appetizer or something?"

[Gixoh]

"So it looks like we've got the Jugo Twins as well as two of the newcomers. Can't wait to see how this turns out can we folks!"

[The Announcer]

"I already know Chiga, we win."

[Minito - Laughing]

"This is a Battle Race everyone, not just our regular one on one battle but a full arena two on two! Where the whole arena is your field. You can chase each other down racing to defeat the other. Or you can stand firm in your bout, fighting till the other is subdued. It's your choice, your fight, your victory!"

[The Announcer]

[BANG!!]

[A shot goes off]

The race begins, with Mintio chasing after Gixoh while Sirisa and Chiga stay facing each other. Cutting over and through small rocky areas you could see the urgency in Gixoh's Animal. Firing off flame blast to try and slow down Minito's approach Gixoh begins to back himself against a wall. Mintios Riding Animal begins firing off a barrage of fireballs. Leaping onto the wall and backflipping over Minito's animal, Gixoh's Sends out it tongue smacking the back of Minito's, knocking him out.

"It looks like we got a complete K.O. Ladies and Gentlemen, what an outstanding feat in just a few seconds of a round."

[The Announcer]

[The crowd begins to cheer]

With Minito defeated, Gixoh looked over towards his sister. It seems Sirisa and Chiga hadn't made any moves yet. Still staring each other down.

"It looks like our Riders are still trying to size each other up. I wonder who will make the first move."

[The Announcer]

"I guess your brother wasn't as strong as mine huh."

[Sirisa - giggling at Minito's defeat]

"Tch, don't worry about that, we won't let that stop us. The Slums need this change of order."

[Chiga]

"What do you mean?"

[Sirsia - Confused]

"You're not a Citizen of the Citadel, so it wouldn't matter to you."

[Chiga - With Aggression]

As he finished his words Chiga began to disappear into the sand. Pulling a mask out over his face.

"We can get this over with now."

[Chiga - With a smirk]

"Get this over…"

[Sirisa - Curiously, As Chiga full disappeared]

Without knowing where Chiga went as he melted away into the sand below them Sirisa began to panic a bit. Turning her riding animal around in a circle to stand its ground.

"Sirisa!"

[Gixoh - As Chiga and his Riding Animal Shot out of the sand]

Though we don't know the creature's name, the Chiga creature seemed to be a fish-like dog. Able to swim under the sand as if it was the ocean but at the same time make its way on land as if it was grass. Appearing in full fang the creature laches on to the leg of Sirisa Animal, hurling it into the sky. Firing off a fireblast, and hitting its target. The smoke aftermath begins to descend, landing on the sand.

"SIRISA!!!!"

[Gixoh - Rushing towards Sirisa]

Running into action to save his sister Gixoh speeds his way into the battle. Minito steps in front of him firing off another powerful fireblast. Stunning Gixoh and injuring his animal. The smoke around Sirisa begins to clear and she notices her Barbia bleeding from the head. Ripping a piece of cloth from her clothing she patches her up.

"I guess he's stronger than we thought."

[Sirisa - In a daze]

"Where'd he go?"

[Sirsia - Searching Around]

As the fog clears her head Sirisa sees Chiga attacking Gixoh with an onslaught of bites, fire blasts, and clawing from his creature.

"We should help him. Bari..Hurr..Hurry…"

[Sirsia - As she collapses off her Animal]

"It looks like we've got another K.O. Everyone. One of the newcomers just collapsed. I Wonder what happened, she seemed fine just a moment ago, took that blast like a champ!"

[Luminous Grande Announcer]

[Crowd begins to laugh]

"Well let's give her a proper countdown! 10"

[The Announcer]

"9!"

[The Arena]

"8!"

[The Arena]

"7!"

[The Arena]

"I don't think Sirisa is going to make it."

[Twilight]

"If she loses that means we've lost Obitiga, her, and that traitor Empat."

[Crystal]

"6!"

[The Arena]

"Do you think we can still win?"

[Crystal]

"5!"

[The Arena]

"I'm not sure. Hopefully we won't have to find out."

[Twilight]

"4!"

[The Arena]

"Where am I?"

[Sirisa]

"Welcome to The Space."

[Strange Ball of Light]

"The Space?"

[Sirisa - Confused as the ball of light circles her]

"So he hasn't told you yet.. That's very unfortunate."

[Strange Ball of Light]

"Who are you?"

[Sirisa]

"Hmmm, that's a hard question to ask. A better one would be what am I instead. Right now you can call me E though."

[E - Floating around Sirisa and starting a Magic Sigil]

"E?"

[Sirisa - Confused]

"Yep."

[E]

"That should keep her from being too curious."

[E - Thinking out loud to herself]

"Anyway, how are you, Sirisa?"

[E - Floating over Sirisa once again to create a Magic Sigil]
