As the Treehounds glared at David his arms started to turn into oak. He viscously ran towards them. The thorns on the hair of wolves spiked up as they ran towards David. He dropped the temperature of his legs . As the Treehounds ran to them David flung his legs against the oak , creating a hole in one of the monsters . The herd jumped on top of one another healing the hole of Treehound. The monsters skin was thicker and stronger . Weapon Man threw a dozen of tools in the air and using string deflected them again each other hitting the main Treehound. With its weakened skin, the oak started to pale. The Treehound still renewed its wounds, David attacked the other Treehounds and the incredibly cold temperature of his leg destroyed the hound. The Main Hound groaned "Glare of The Forest" roots were planted exactly into the ground coiling around the legs of David. Even with his incredibly cold skin he was still grounded to the soil. Weapon Man used his cloaked to fly into the air and through kunais directly at each individual one. The main Treehound stood on two feet screaming, " I'm in pain, I'm in pain, I'm in pain!". Weapon Man walked towards the Treehounds thorns spiked incredibly, Weapon Man wrapped his arms around it. The Treehounds around him began to dissolve, "Please free me, in plain sight" , The main Treehound sighed. Weapon Man asked for its name, "It .. is… Terminus" The Treehound said. It explained how the Holy One had restrained him there. Weapon Man over his hand out as a gesture of good faith. Terminus laid on his tail and said, "Not much is known about the Holy One, he is not sane, he is not afraid , he is observent, he is in plain sight"
Terminus was a regular citizen who lived in the rural areas of the Underground Continent, his father Arthur was a drunk and his mother a nurse. He was often curious about the origins of the Universe and struggled to afford food or clothing due to the Pandering of Ivy. His mother struggled to keep up with bills and his father was depressed, majority of the time. His mother divorced Arthur whilst Terminus was a teenager and he never saw her again. Whilst he was in an underground fight, he was scouted to join the Time Patrol. During his tenure on the Force he had broken the rules repeatedly until he was exiled from the team. Until he fell and fell and fell. Leaving him where his now, Laying in a gear and screaming in silence.
Terminus guided the boys through the gear to reach its time core. Avoiding a pitfall of snakes , dodging pressure plates. as they reached the redder parts of the gear. They came across a chemical mirror.
(Information:
A chemical mirror replicates the individual standing in front of them. Copying the techniques, offensive and defensive, of the individual. These mirrors are made from a mix of Auri and fractions of Luneriam.
Auri is a type of Uri, an energy within every individual. Some have more of this energy than others. It specializes in enhancing the physical strength and enhancing capabilities of objects.
Luneriam is an element found on Jupiter before it was destroyed.)
The chemical mirror conjured a version of Weapon Man and David. The clones turned around shaking the dust off them. Their pupils grew bigger, its darkness consumed the cornea. The clones looked exactly like them although they had the number '2' carved into their shoulder. Terminus continued to run towards the time core. Weapon Man ran towards his look-alike. They both flung out their metal bats and clashed them against each other. Whilst this fight was happening, David was attacked by his clone who clamped his legs to the floor using pounds of ice. Weapon-Man threw his Flint Knife at the block of ice. Although this moment of kindness would not go unpunished as his clone managed to cut deep with into Weapon-Man's shoulder using a katana. As Weapon-Man dropped to his knees, David jumped off his shoulder before smacking and kicking the clone down. Weapon Man coughed out blood to the floor, "this is a life or death mission and I won't hesitate to leave you behind" he said, " I've already shown you both enough mercy, any mistake made now is on you"
The cloak on the copycat started to ruffle . The copycat muttered, "what? what are you doing?!"
PREVIOUSLY
Before they came in contact with the chemical mirror. Weapon Man had placed an explosive magnet on Terminus. Weapon Man believed it was a safety precaution , in the unfortunate case that Terminus would go berserk. Within this explosive was a magnet that attracted the cloak.
CURRENTLY
The cloak flew Terminus closer to the core , Terminus had realised the measures Weapon Man had taken. Sensing the violent intent the former cloak wrapped itself around their hands. Terminus roared with fury as he panted towards Weapon Man , pulled out a dagger of luneriam and so did the clone. He pushed the clone towards the screaming Treehound. David threw the shards of iced luneriam, which he was provided with, cutting and slicing his arms. The clone was dragged into the air by the cloak before it was killed by Terminus. David's clone dragged him by the air and threw him against the hardened brass of the year. Another dagger of luneriam was sliced to the neck of David. The clone froze the cut on his neck. David used the ability of Ice Flicker he escaped out of the ice. Using ice and the remainder of his Luneriam he lit a fire on the clone.
With the clones being destroyed, there was only one person standing in their way. Terminus shouted, "It infuriates me to witness how people can deceive and manipulate others, taking advantage of their trust and goodwill. It's a painful reminder of the dark side of humanity, where self-interest reigns supreme and loyalty is discarded like yesterday's trash. This is why I don't trust anyone."
Feeling disheartened, Weapon Man sighed he tried to apologise. Terminus confronted, their presence filled the brass with rage and anger, the Weapon Man. "Enough of that. You're not getting through." Terminus sighed. A whaling sound dropped through the area , dust was thrown across the battleground. Alfa the Battle Giant had arrived. With an axe be his shoulder and blood pouring from his finger , he grinned.
Weapon-Man stood towards his head looking up to the giant they both glared at each other. Sharing a respectable moment of smiling and grunting. Although this treaty of respect would shortly last.
