Chapter 5 - Horse & Shoe

He noted, after waking up, that something was different about him that he couldn't have an answer to yet.

"Wait, what happened to my limb?!"

James Ross's demolished left arm mysteriously got replaced with a black robotic steel arm while unconscious. On it, in big letters, XI0 was written.

It was a mystery to James. He didn't know how this happened when he didn't see a limb replacer.

'How am I still alive? Why didn't it kill me when I was unconscious?'

Now the monster stared again, dashing toward James, making him confused, 'Why is it attacking me, now?'

The monster smashed into something when Ross wasn't moving, making Ross lose a thought and make a loud noise.

A barrier outline glowed after the beast smashed into it, making Ross question it.

The shield was invisible to people outside it, and people inside of it were visible if something crashed into it

However, it looks like it is about to shatter after one more strike. The beast went back and rushed into the barrier, smashing through.

Before the monster broke into the room, James was thinking about how to find Samuel and exit, so when the beast broke into it, he was surprised because he thought one more strike would do it.

The Iron Jaw Monster jumped toward Ross, almost biting his head off. Ross blocks the attack of the Iron Jaw by using his new left arm, punching its side with his left fist, making it fly backward. Spark dust flew out of the ground, going back later.

Not a single damage to his left arm happened. That's how strong it was.

'Wow, my new hand is strong!'

The monster gets up from the ground, and the flair of the light, followed by dashing toward James.

The Iron Jaw Monster jumped over Ross, surprising him, and attacked behind him, but James clapped his hands, making a shock wave sound, making himself and the enemy flying back.

***

Ross hits a wall after getting sent flying by the power he used, but black armor forms on his skin, protecting his back from getting hit by the wall.

The Iron Jaw Monster blocked it from getting injured by using its jaw, making it stuck into the wall. But it forcefully removes its jaw from the wall by consuming lots of drywall to get unstuck. It rushed toward James after escaping.

In the security room, Diamond throws her lunch to the ground, wasting well-done steak and gravy on top.

"You are cheating, James. That shadow I saw was the one who gave you that arm you are using now and placed that barrier to protect you from my master's design!" She was walking around while talking to herself.

"Should I call him?"

A man appeared from the shadow and replied, "Who are you trying to call, Diamond?"

He was always there waiting for Diamond to stop talking to herself, but now he showed up before her.

"Holy shit! You sacred daylight at of me, Horse?!"

She jumped up after he suddenly talked, and Horse didn't care about scaring Diamond, so he asked his question again.

"Again... who are you talking about, Diamond?"

She replied to Horse, "I was talking about your brother, Shoe. Happy now!"

"Why?"

Diamond was getting annoyed by Horse bit by bit, so she was about to snap if Horse didn't decide to summon his brother, Shoe.

He didn't want to deal with her anger, so Horse cut the flesh from his hand with his bare hands without fleeing pain, tossing it in the air, wobbling and wobbling until it glowed green, forming into a human shape with a mouth, eyes, ears, brain, heart, limbs, and other things humans need to function.

The body from the flesh of the Horse was Shoe, his younger brother, crashing into the ground from mid-air.

'Talk about a flashy entrance!'

"Diamond? What do you want from me?"

"I wasn't expecting your brother to summon you, but now you are here, I have an order to tell you about."

Diamond shares her thoughts about Ross's situation with the brothers. They listened and left after hearing her.

Horse and Shoe twin conjoined brothers with complicated bodies of having the same body most of the time. However, the difference between them and common conjoined twins is that they can leave one body whatever they want by doing whatever Horse did without going to the surgeon.

The twins have different personalities from each other. Like the younger brother, Shoe, being the talkative one.

If nobody stops him from talking, he will continue for days and nights. Diamond and the younger brother, Shoe, get along very well, even if she gets annoyed with him sometimes.

Horse, unlike his younger brother, was

very quiet, only he talks to Diamond, not even with his brother or the boss.

No one in the White Clan knows why he's not as quiet and silent toward Diamond. Is it to annoy her with his question, or does he like her?

Who knows how his mind process works? Only Shoe knows. They have the same mind, after all. But he keeps quiet about his older brother's secrets.

The twins, Horse and Shoe, always change their control over the body they share. For example, one brother might walk and speak, and the other see, think, smell, etc. They mastered it by constantly doing it for the rest of their lives!

The shared body's appearance looks different than their separate bodies. The gorgeous red wine-colored eyes, the beautiful black hair shining, and a top hat earnings.

Armor patches on their elbows and kneecaps protect and boost their attacks, while a white hood covers their face. Their allies called them HorseShoe in this state.

Shoe's speed is slightly faster than his older brother, Horse, when he's in a different body. With his primary weapon of choice, his hands, he would be dangerous!

His speed is so fast that people get stabbed by Shoe and wouldn't realize they are impaled until they die!

The older brother, Horse, would be way faster than his younger brother, Shoe if his Flow weren't wasted too much.

However, his ancient dagger helps him when he stabs his enemy with it. Not only does it injure them, but it also drains people's flow that gets penetrated. Only Horse could use it.

***

James was riding the monster back without letting it go and punching it constantly with a robotic left fist and right fist with bars knuckle.

"Die you, ungodly creature!"

James and the beast were tired of fighting the monster and wanted to finish it off quickly, so the beast threw Ross out its back by shaking violently.

That plan failed, so it ran around like a hooligan, breaking a couple of pillars along the way, making Ross fly out from its back, and hitting many supports.

Ross wasn't fleeing any pain when Model XI0's powers were active by forming steel around his body to protect its user from injuries.

The Iron Jaw Monster finally got freed from Ross. It got tiring doing the same thing, so it opened its mouth, a railgun raised from its stomach to its mouth, and charging quickly.

Without warning, it fires a boiling-temperature beam of light from the railgun toward Ross, which hits his left arm without anything happening.

James and Diamond were surprised by Model XI0 not melting from the attack, which made Diamond remember what her boss said.

"The boss said that the railgun from the Iron Jaw only melts human skin and human-made technology! It is good to know the Shadow who gave James Ross that arm wasn't a human. You might as well have plot armor, Mr. James Ross, or should I call it plot arm?"

The monster wasn't smart enough not to do the same thing to fire another hot temperature beam at James, which Ross blocked with his left hand, reflecting into the monster.

The laser of hot temperature stabbed into the monster's skin, causing a small molten pimple, which grew and grew rapidly until it consumed Iron Jaw into ashes and fell into the ground.

"I need to copy that overkill power into my attacks." Ross loudly spoke to himself.

Clap!

Clap-clap!

Clapping sounds from two directions were coming closer to Ross. When the cheering ended, a person from the shadows started talking.

"We are impressed that you killed our boss's creation without effort."

James started being on edge when he felt two strong auras around him. He looked around at two entrances where people could enter that area, and he yelled, "Show yourselves!"

"As you wish!" After saying that, their voice faded.

Mumbling into James' ear, "Your sentence is death!"

The enemy's hand was about to stab Ross' chest, but James grabbed his enemy's hands before being stabbed and throwing him into the ground. Blood poured out of his mouth.

"Ugh, your Sight is impressive, but can you defend yourself from two people? Horse, it's time to attack!"

From behind, Ross gets stabbed, but armor protects him, so seeing that the twin brothers, Horse and Shoe, retreat into darkness.

"Diamond was right about him having plot armor, right Horse?" These brothers have telepathic abilities when they separate.

It doesn't matter if he has the most powerful armor in reality. Together, we still can kill him." Horse said.

They lose track of time when they start discussing Ross's weaknesses and how to stop armor from forming when he gets attacked.

Ross breaks their plans by saying, "Who are you, people?!"

Shoe responded cockily, "HorseShoe... Now you know our name. It's time to say goodbye!"

Ross cracked his fingers, not the robot ones, and answered, "Let's see if you guys can!"
