Chapter 45.5———Fly Faster Than Greased Lightning, Shun [Pt.2]
——————————————————————————
///Shun///
When that insect handed me that rock, I felt pretty good right to hold it in my hand. Despite it being rugged and potentially cutting unto my palm, I didn't care about it. What I cared about getting outta here and getting some help.
We need actual heroes; the actual police have their hands tied up. We need the actual symbols of peace and power.
I knew that the police were doing their best, at least those two assholes that arrested my friend weren't here. I hope for their sake.
There was an opening in the ice despite the Sub-Zero ripoff's effort, he overlooked and reveled in the blood while he should have made his ice walls perfect.
Not that I was complaining.
It was too little for a large-sized, muscular hero to fit in. Thank god I was on the smaller side of things. If I cruised about 200 mph and then increase it; I'm will make to make it out of that slight hole in the wall of ice.
I don't need to jump to activate my powers, it feels more natural than walking and I'm already halfway there.
Let Ryoji have his flames, Akina her strength Kadoku his acid, Su-Jin her cholorkinetic powers, Armando his rubber-like body: Let me have the air.
The air is my only friend---The only thing that truly understands me.
Okay, the Travel Rune has been ticking down now about three times. I thought as the wind was pushing my red-orange helmet. These runes were very ancient, and to think---Kadoku Haritoka could have saved his sorry skin and given it to me instead.
Maybe he has a good bone to him.
"And where are you going, Sonic?" That kid, Elijah was catching up to me while I was flying around 236 mph now.
Please don't touch me, please don't touch me. I repeated the same thoughts over as I was batshit scared of this kid. Elijah was catching up to me with no effort as if this....This was a game of Tag. He was Michael Myers and I was Jamie Lee Curtis.
"TAG!" That crazy kid yelled out after he touched me. My arms were stiff, my legs were not moving: I was in his control. I hate this son of a big bitch. "I hate you!" My Tourette's gotten control of me again before it escalated by me spitting at his face. It's suited him by having my spit on his face.
Made him lose that childlike, innocent appearance we all thought when he ransacked the Garden.
Oh shit. I wanted to shit my pants as I realize what I did and I was not proud of it.
He... said nothing or was upset with the spit on his face. "I understand you're scared, Red Rocket. Being scared makes you lose manners and I get that. I just want a Switch." His words confused me: I could not understand why he didn't kill me then.
Falling on the ground after being teleported is a new experience for me. Puking could happen or losing conscious was another thing, but getting slapped mercilessly by Jordyn Himasaki was the cherry on top.
The Travel Rune did not glow anymore in my hands. I was analyzing the stone while I was sitting down with my peers. They paid no attention
It resets every time I get hit? That's real convenient.....Really convenient for us.
Every wish has a small print to it.
I saw that Elijah kid teleporting to that Vaniguzu after teleporting me around my classmates again.
Being close to Jordyn had some perks, she takes the heat outta people and she's kinda cute. I dunno why she hates Akina so much. Maybe she has feelings, maybe Jordyn is a closeted lesbian.
"Didn't work?" Jordyn asked while wearing her outfit, she looked really looked good in it. Honor bound to her traditions, yet she was the most hip girl of our
I replied, "Nope." Her smile is really going to be pretty when she gets her braces removed.
"Try again, Tiger." She jested with me before slapping my ass unexpectedly. I even let out a yap like I was some Pomeranian.
And I hate small dogs.
Getting smacked in my ass by a girl felt new and I don't want to be fighting demons down there right now.
Now he's here with us. I was not looking forward in dealing with Vaniguzu, the "Equal Temperatures of Death.
"Time to teach you kids a lesson by proper discipline. I think a beating through your thick skulls would do it. " Vaniguzu threatened us as he put his sword back into its sheathe, readying himself to fight us. He knew that we outnumbered him right now.
Problem? He has experience and doing this for twenty years.
That least he didn't say anything cliche like other villains in the past.
"I'll cover you." Jordyn reaffirmed my trust after that little football thing that coaches do to. "Sorry about that a few seconds. I wanna survive and I'm nervous."
I felt another girl's breath and it was the French Shield, Helene Beaumont. "Same here." Helene backed me up, a shield wouldn't hurt right now. "Except I don't smack a boy's ass to calm myself down." She also got ready for a fight, Helene has spunk and acted like she was eighteen years old.
Jordyn opened her mouth to say something smart every time until she realized that this was no day to be a smartass.
"I got some bad blood with this red ninja. Bastard killed my uncle. May I a good ol'dance with him?" Kemp always knew to share such nice stories before throwing his fists and making faces into pudding. the irony made me laugh.
"Whoop his ass then." I blurted out loud, giving Kemp a wide grin and rushing towards Vaniguzu. If I had known he was going to be reckless, I would have made sure he'll go last with his vengeance.
Kemp, even though his parents were members of the Protectors who use magic, Kemp was born as ordinary as the unfortunate. Yet, he's doing a good job of how his hits were targeting at. He were targeting his vital points while Helene protected Kemp with her shield powers.
Came in a clutch as Kemp came to almost dying seven times in just fifty-seven seconds according to my watch now.
"You're next, Britney!!" Vaniguzu bellowed towards us while throwing Kemp into the air and pulled out his sword, Honokori.
"No, You're at getting wrecked, wanker!" Kemp countered at his Uncle's killer as he was getting some great blows on Vaniguzu's chin, face while he was in the air as well: Kemp was a damn fighting genius. All the while talking original shit. "Keep taking the blows like the filthy whore you are, you red shat baboon!"
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Jordyn warned her ally as she looked like she was going fire an arrow by her posture. Her shoulders were high and firm, closed one eye. I could hear her muttering the words, "Ardentem Sagitta."
Kemp got away in the nick of time and the arrow three feet away from Vaniguzu's face, the arrows explode like a bomb and one could hear a large booming noise from two kilometers away. Depending on the Magic user, that is if one of these two-bit soldiers want to see one arrow the size of the hydrogen bomb.
"Hey, Reza dude?" Said Armando, watching the chaos unfold as Reza and Sasha stood by him.
"Yeah?" Reza answered back as Armando was uncertain of Vaniguzu's faith. I had doubts too
"Do you think he's dead?" Kemp questioned him, his eyes were glued over there where the evil shinobi met his supposed demise.
"Dead? Firing a little arrow is but a tickle to me." Vaniguzu raised his voice to us, who everyone was shocked to see that he was still alive... "Would have been a delight if he landed as a charred turkey for Thanksgiving." Sasha said in a disturbing tone.
Takeo, to me, was usually gruff and upset about everything; but he was really peeved off about Bubble-Dive's life in peril. He was always that type of guy who couldn't leave someone in danger.
He always knew that the life of a hero is always hard the higher you climb up in the ranks. Even saving lives wasn't going to cut it.
He breathed in, then out solemnly. He breathed in once again, his three tails moved on their own. He closed his eyes and thought of something tranquil, like the cold snow hitting his face gently, or the way the north breeze goes through his body. But something threw him off—there was a hand on his shoulders: the hand of Sera Bishop.
What does she want from me? He thought, her eyes were worried about the welfare of her peers. "You need something?" He asked her coldly.
"Let us join this fight with you." She confessed genuinely while Takeo got confused on why she said "us".
"Hell yeah, you can. I thought I could handle myself. Guess I was wrong."
He got into a stance with both of his hands planted on the ground. "Cute... Joining together isn't gonna help you WIN!!!" Proudly declaring about Takeo's motives, commanding the flames of Hell itself. Bursting through the soil like geysers, then he stood up and icebergs popped out of nowhere.
Gotta go fast! I thought while I was flying again. Jordyn got into that bonded form of hers, Takeo stood on a tower of frozen water.
"Go! We've make sure that you don't get hit!" Jordyn reassured me by firing more of her beams of magic at our opponent while Takeo pushed me with more ice. "We can handle them."
Takeo dodging them, yet barely; with ice, piles came to his face inch by inch. He was doing anything parkour-related, it wasn't sloppy but not pretty, his flips and somersaults. But it didn't matter———anything for survival.
Takeo, using a moderate amount of Aether from my theories about his powers, summoned multiple icebergs to combat Vaniguzu's ice.
"Psycho kid needs people to be in fear and at an abnormal range of attack, while Vaniguzu's powers have switched side effects
" That Surwick bitch found my weakness!! Do something, you extra!!" He exploded in rage, throwing more debris at us while I was dodging and was to 20 seconds now. I wasn't getting overconfident now.
Talk about anger issues. I thought to myself as I increased my speed.
19 seconds.
18 seconds.
While fighting fighting against Sasha, her claws managed to screw his cheek up severely. The Hellfrost Ninja felt something running down his cheek, a warm yet sticky liquid. He wiped it inquisitively: it was his own blood. Since he is now Daemonized, his blood was now blue instead of red. He had noticed that the Sasha landed on her feet; licking it sadistically.
He summoned more icebergs to test her mobility——she dodged it and did more parkour while more and more arose from the soil with Kemp adding pressure on him. All sixteen icebergs formed a circle, which even impressed him.
Sasha's ears moved up and down, that was until before she jumped up in the air and proceeded to leap at him with break-neck speed. "Urgh!!" He breathed sharply as her claws slashed up his left arm pretty gruesome before she got punched in the gut by him.
"For a Ninja, you are pretty slow at dodging." Sasha jabbed at his age as she groomed her arms like a cat would do when it would have blood on its pelt.
"Likewise, Mrs. Arkhangel. You're slow for a cat."
"I still have time to grow." Sasha hit back before Kadoku sneak attacked by throwing acid on his back.
Vaniguzu shook his head in anger, as he wanted to fight a one-on-one fight; not some jump by kids. "I had enough of this. "HIMASAKI. Fight me—and your father will be collecting your ashes." He threatened her, his eyes were colder than ice. He had looked like he had such disgust for the Himasaki clan.
The adrenaline has been making tracking time harder since I'm afraid for my life, my mom said that's good.
All my life I heard the worst about my power of how I can only fly.
I am not a damn one-trick pony--I'm better than that.
13 Seconds.
12 Seconds.
11 Seconds.
I have never seen so much blood coming from one man as he was without mask, revealing his sharp, needle-like teeth. I would stoop down to his level to get a power like that.
"God damn you all, I'LL SKIN ALL OF YOU!!!" Vaniguzu as Shun also heard an Urk from him. "Pay attention to me and only me!!" He know that voice, it was Jordyn?!?!
So many people.
Everyone that hated me, is helping me because they want to live.
I only have ten seconds before teleporting whatever the Travel Rune would want to do.
9 seconds.
8 seconds.
7 seconds.
I'm flying as fast as I can before noticing I was out of Elijah's range. That power of his is easy to exploit when Helene revealed his weaknesses.
I opened my eyes quickly, realizing that I was close to an iceberg, but it could probably be Takeo's. I'm just gonna fly far away from it.
Fresh air? I hope I am not meeting my Uncle Sokudo..... I was dreading the truth. Opening my eyes and I could see the sun rising from the ground to greet everyone in the N.U.S.N was the best feeling I had in a while.
"Phew...I did it." I said in relief, my whole body was killing me now.
3.
2.
1.
Huh. Son of a gun—I'm finally outside now. I thought in relief. I should be punching the air or something to celebrate me getting out of that hellhole if it wasn't if our lives were in grave danger.
Finally!! But the sun is now rising...
I checked my watch just to see what time is it.
7:49 a.m.
Oh crap!! I need to hurry up or else I have failed us all. I thought as I was flying to somebody strong enough to save us all.
I hope I can get someone as strong to help us all.
To save us from this "Rescue" Garden.
