Rein swings towards Blyke, he doges and hands Remi to Isen.
Lazerbeam: Bounty Hunter, take her away!
Isen takes Remi outside and heads up on a rooftop.
Isen: Remi wake up, it's just Blyke and John down there! the mission is gonna fail, REMI!
Meanwhile, Remi is in a dark void like space.
Remi: Hello?! Blyke, where are you?!
A figure that looks like Blyke starts to approach Remi.
Remi: Blyke?!
Blyke: Remi!
Remi runs up to Blyke and embraces him with a hug.
Blyke: Woah woah, hey you're a little excited.
Remi: That's odd, Blyke always loves a complimentary Remi hug, in fact...
Remi looks into Blyke's eyes, they glow a goldish black mix.
Remi: Wait, Blyke what's up with your eyes?
Blyke starts to turn into a dark silhouetted figure, his red and yellow turns into a Gold and Black.
Blyke: Well well, look what we have here?
He Blasts Remi in the chest with Blykes laser ability. Remi starts to get a serious expression on her face.
Remi: WHERE IS BLYKE?!
The demon turns back into his normal shape. Remi in horror and shock looks at Joker for who he really is.
Remi: John, what the?!
Joker sends a wave of Electricity towards Remi.
Remi in her head: What the, I didn't even power up, it's like he's from another world, I have to be careful.
Remi: What is going on, where is John?
Joker: That little simp, you don't need to know, when I'm done with you I'm gonna make him watch me tear Seraphina apart, everything he's built up in this world will be mine!
Remi: Well then, if you don't wanna talk, Then I'll make you.
Remi shoots out bolts of lightning, the demon misses and flips Remi onto her back after she attempts to land a kick on his face.
Remi: John, what is all of this?
Joker: Don't call me that!
Joker sends Remi flying a good ten feet.
Joker: It's me Joker!, Not that weak little freak you all keep around.
Remi in her head: Dammit, I'll never get any answers, I'll just have to ask John myself, the only problem is how am I gonna get out of this quagmire?
Joker: Well, it's time for me to depart, but here's a power up, you know so that I can kill you later, don't want that spider queen to get all the fun.
Remi: Wait, where are you?
A huge gust of wind blows towards Remi, causing her to fall and regain consciousness.
Meanwhile back at John's house. Seraphina is setting up a nice ramen dinner, she lights the candles when she hears a loud crash noise. She looks outside to see massive flames, turning on the TV news, she reads the headlines.
Massive battle between The Golden God and Spider Witch.
News Helicopters capture the whole scene, all the chaos and destruction, John is seen fighting twelve priests, knocking them all down in seconds before another batch shows up. Sera looks in horror when she sees in the corner of the screen, Isen and Remi are both on a rooftop, they both appear to be injured. Then it hits her, the reason why vigilantes exist, legal ones like John, or frowned upon like Remi, the world is in a more serious state of damage and corruption than she thought.
Sera: Dammit, no time to change!
Sera runs out with her red dress she put on, thinking what Remi, Isen, Blyke, and John were doing was just some short little thing and that they would all come back home. She pulls out a mask that covers her eyes and uses her ability to run over to Arlo's place.
Meanwhile with Blyke and Rein. Blyke is flying from pillar to pillar as Rein knocks them all down with her spider arms.
Rein: Blyke, I really thought we had a connection, but you're no different from every other person on this planet.
She smiles thinking her lies will soak into his head.
Blyke: REIN? We literally met on turf wars, does it look like we were meant to be anything close to friends?!
Rein: Yeah well, guess you were just gonna be another meal after all, It's not like you can beat me in Turf wars, what makes you think you can hurt me in my own palace.
Rein starts to power up, her eyes glowing Blue on the edges of her red pupils, a big energized ball that resembles an ant.
Blyke: Oh yeah bitch, well I have a trump card up my sleeve too.
Blyke starts to power up like he did with Lance, his eyes a bright as day colored yellow, then orange, and now red. His lasers start to turn a bright Red, the white within the red is now Yellow, he starts to blast away at Reins giant bug like body, Rein grows a scorpion tail that shoots acid, Blyke doges it but droplets hit his face causing him to go crashing to the ground.
On the rooftop Remi wakes up, her eyes that same color tone when she was facing Waldo. Remi Gets up, her white dress starts to glow, her blue lightning starts to shine Yellow and White.
Blyke sends a powerful shock wave towards Rein, but Rein's pinchers snatch Blyke, she applies pressure causing him to cough up Blood. Remi walks in the room.
Remi: LET HIM GO!
Rein: Oh wow, what are you gonna do, get tied up again?!
Remi: Why you!
Remi charges at Rein with her new white lightning, Rein drops Blyke and swings her legs back at Rein. The two battle for what seemed like eternity. Rein lands on her spider legs, she starts to spin webs and shoot the at Remi. Blyke gets back up and blocks the webs, he uses a shock wave to break free before he falls back to the ground from exhaustion.
Remi: Blyke, no!
Remi powers up her lighting, the white bolts begin to shine brighter than any star. Mega bolts start to shoot down from the sky, As John is fighting off the army of cultists, he along with his foes all stop to look at white glowing sky.
Meanwhile Seraphina arrives at Arlo's apartment. She knocks on the door until he answers.
Arlo: Seraphina?! What are you doing here?
Seraphina: Listen Arlo, I need your help...
Arlo: Oh, that's funny you didn't help me win at turf wars.
Seraphina: Arlo that was different, she was just some...
Arlo: NO SERA! She's the spider queen from New Oklahoma!
Sera puts on a shocked expression, like pikachu.
Sera: Wait, then why aren't you over there helping them then?!
Arlo: I have responsibilities to attend to, I can't just go around acting like a patron saint over here.
Sera: ARLO! Can't you hear the noise, people are scared we need more assistance, the government isn't doing anything to help us, if we lose, Then it's just you me and Elaine left. And besides, what the fuck are you doing right now that's more important?
Arlo looks at Sera for a moment before he heads back in the apartment room.
Arlo: I'm sorry Sera, but John has it under control, he knows what he's doing.
Sera: Arlo wait!
Arlo: You're a hypocrite you know, you didn't go either!
Sera: What do you think I'm doing now?
Arlo closes the door on Sera.
Sera: Arlo what the HELL?!
Sera heads up on the roof top frustrated at her acquaintance, she takes some things that she brought with her when she ran out of the door. She puts on a Red Garter with a pocket in it.
Sera back at John's house: Okay here we go.
Sera looks at the evidence locker in John's basement, she takes out the enhancing equipment from The Bounty Huntress. She then puts the knife in her Garter and puts on a mask that covers her upper half of her face. She ties it to the back of her head, she flips the knife from her gater out to make sure the switchblade function worked. She then activates her ability and rushes to the battle field.
Meanwhile in Arlo's apartment.
Arlo: Dammit, why the hell am I missing out?!
Arlo in his head: When I was little, I always thought that society was flawless, that there was a reason people had less powers than others, that the government would always take care of those who couldn't, that people would look up to high tiers.
But I was wrong...
People don't look up to high tiers, they fear them, the government, they suck up if they can for security, they're all fake. That's why....
Arlo starts to cry a little.
Arlo: That's why my parents were killed, the government failed, they tried to lock us in there and...
Arlo realizes at that moment, he was the one who was about to fail, his friends were being beaten half to death out there while he just sat back and watched from his studio apartment. Arlo gets up and grabs white plague looking doctor mask and puts it over his face.
Arlo: Alright then, I'm in.
Meanwhile in New Oklahoma city. Rein and Remi are going toe to toe with their power ups. Blyke starts to wake up. He feels a rush of pain in his abdomen, he puts his hands over the spot and feels a warm and wet liquid where Rein's pinchers were.
Blyke: Blood, I can't stop it.
Blyke starts to bleed profusely. Remi notices the excessive redness on Blyke.
Remi in her head: Oh no, if I continue to press on Rein, Blyke might get seriously hurt. But if I stop and get Blyke some help, there's no guarantee that I can help him, Elaine isn't around and Rein will get away, She'll easily plow through Isen, and John is already busy with the followers.
Sera is running towards the battlefield city, police cars are stopping citizens from the surrounding cities from exiting to watch the commotion, military units are standing guard making sure that the cultists don't leak out into other towns
Military: We have a breach, a high school looking girl wearing a red dress is trying to...
Sera uses her ability to zip past the apc's and scales the thirty foot high fence. She lands over and dodges an incoming body flying at the speed of a car in nascar.
Sera: Hey careful there Goldy Boy.
John turns around, he see's Sera right behind him, her outfit makes him dazed.
Sera: Watch out!
John snaps back into reality and smacks the guy behind him without even looking.
John: What are you doing here?!
Sera: I could hear the commotion all the way from Wellston.
John: No way!
Sera: Yeah, it kinda made me realize how ridiculous it would be for a level eight to sit around and watch her friends do all the fighting.
John: Hey, what's with the dress? I just saw you in normal clothes.
Sera: Later, just go find Rein for now, I can handle these dumbos.
John: Sera you sure?
Sera with a confident smile: Oh come on John, you were just using my ability to fight them off, I think I'll be okay.
John: Right.
John rushes towards the palace that Remi and Rein are in.
Cult member 1: Ohh boys, look what we have here.
Cult member 2: Ohh, hey there pretty lady!
Cult member 3: Come on boys, surely we can share here. Let's just-
Before he finishes the three go flying in the air, it was as if Sera didn't even move, they all landed on their heads knocking them out.
Sera: Careful boys, don't wear yourselves out now.
Goons surround Sera, but they fall one by one,
Meanwhile
Remi in her head: No, he's losing more blood, I need to make a decision now! Screw it!
Remi: Blyke! I'm coming!
Rein tries to snatch Remi, but her speed outmatches Rein and she manages to pick up Blyke and retreat to where Isen is. Rein breaks out of her palace in the form of a centipede. Her ability level is a ten at this point.
Rein looks at the trio of friends, her eight eyes all glow a sinister red, she rushes towards them until she feels a tug from behind, she gets slammed back in the crater, The Golden Dawn jumps down and smashes her bug body to bits, forcing Rein to pop out and use her regular ability. The Golden God copies it and the two stand each other down.
Remi: Wait where are the rest of the cult members, there are thousands here aren't there.
Isen: Look!
In the distance Sera is seen knocking five at a time, each second another group goes down and eats shit.
Rein swings her eight legs at The Golden God, he blocks them with his legs in return, the two go head to toe, slashing their spider legs like there is no tomorrow, Rein jumps wall to wall on all fours like a bug at fast speeds, John doges her incoming attacks, but can't land a hit on Rein. Rein slashes John's mask and cuts the lower left portion off. John at this point touches his face, feeling the blood pouring from a cut left by the strike. He see's Sera off in the distance struggling to fight off against a big dude with blue paint. He wields a Mace, swinging it back and forth as Sera dodges it, Sera starts to show her tiredness and the war lord grabs her, holding her by his arm while carrying his mace. Rein pins The Golden God to the ground with her arms, The Golden God struggles to break free when he hears...
Rein: So, this is why the Royals at Wellston pay attention to you,
John Doe.
John freezes in fear and anxiety.
John in his head: No way, the government changed my profile, no way the average person can find out my actual ability level or anything like that!
John gets up and stands strong; he faces Rein with rage in his eyes.
Rein: It wasn't that hard to figure out, you little friend up there kept boasting about your little saying, "Strength and Honor or whatever", then it got me thinking, why did you, a cripple transfer to Wellston? And so I looked up your profile and I gotta say, it must be nice to have the government behind your back.
John: So? Get to your point!
Rein: That's it though, you got expelled, yet nothing is listed for why, you got the royals surrounding you wherever you go. On top of that if you time when you were expelled and when The Golden God came into existence, it all comes together.
She then strokes John's cheek, he slaps her wrist off of him as she looks directly into his eyes.
Rein: Ohhhh, my God, your goddess just wants some-
John: I'm not anything to you, except your killer.
John looks back discreetly, he sees the massive war lord wearing blue paint take Sera into a building, out of fear and desperation he rushes over with Sera's ability to save her.
Isen: John no, she knows who you are you need to...
Remi: No, it's fine, take care of Blyke for me. I won't let her get away.
Isen applies pressure to Blyke's abdomen.
Rein: Oh dear princess, you wanna take me on now, I'll make you...
Remi stands a powerful blast of lightning down on Rein, the blast was powerful enough to break the ground around them. Remi rushed towards Rein.
Rein in her head: Dammit, I can't use my bug body for another twenty four hours. Okay, it looks like we are more even now, if she were to turn into that freakish bug, she would have done it by now.
John rushes over towards the building Sera was taken in. She wakes up and starts to struggle while she is being dragged, but her energy depletes by the second. John senses the man's Aura, his ability makes people tired if they breath the air around them in, causing them to be subdued. John jumps to the floor they are in and breaks through the window, The man stops tying Sera in a chair and picks up his mace, his eyes glow a more intense grey now, emitting more spores in the air for others to breathe. John's suit deploys a gas mask on John's face.
The Golden God: So, you're not even immune to your own ability, pathetic.
Warlord: Keep your mouth shut little shit!
The Warlord swings his mace forward but The Golden God dodges it, he kicks the guy in the face causing him to fall down into a stairwell. The Golden God immediately follows suit and pumbles The Warlord forty feet down. The two land on the first floor, The War Lord breaks his back while The Golden God lands on The Warlords stomach. At this point The Warlord paralyzed by the pain doesn't move, The Golden God takes The Warlord and punches him repetitively until he breaks his nose, he kicks and punches at him until The Warlord stops showing signs of breathing.
The Golden God at this point takes off his mask, he climbs back forty feet up the stairs and into the room Sera is in, she lays in the chair unconscious, John goes to her and picks her up, he walks out to with Sera in his arms as bodies in the street pile up, the sheets of metal with chunks of flesh all torn down, the blood almost like paint that was spilled everywhere. Sera starts to wake up, witnessing the nightmare that was a reality.
John: Sera no, don't look.
Sera holds John tightly as the two walk out of the city.
Meanwhile across the city, Remi and Rein are still head to toe in combat. Remi sends a strike of blue lightning to Rein that shines so bright it makes lightsabers look like black holes.
Remi in her head: Dammit, I can't maintain that form for long, I'm gonna have to work on that.
Rein starts to power down, her eyes going from a mean red to a calm yellow.
Rein in her head: No not now! I'm starting to run dry on aura.
Remi uses the last of her strength to conjure a lightning bolt, she sends it towards Rein, Rein uses her legs to block the strike, she takes some damage, but is ultimately still standing, Remi on the other hand falls down out of Exhaustion.
Isen: Okay Blyke, I'm gonna have to go down there and get Remi.
Blyke struggles to get back up.
Isen: No don't you'll undo the dressing on your wound, cover me from up here.
Rein: Oh my, well that was one hell of a struggle, you guys sure have some nerve trying to take MY city.
The Bounty Hunter: Piss off bitch!
The Bounty Hunter runs towards Rein, he jumps up and tries to land a punch when Rein grabs him by the neck. Remi tries to get up but her muscles refuse to work.
Rein: Tell your little sniper up there to stand down.
The Bounty Hunter: Blyke, do-n't y-ou fucking da-re man!
Blyke powers down.
Isen: NO!
Rein: Good, as a reward for being cooperative, I'll eat you two last.
Rein throws The Bounty Hunter across the street into the building Blyke is on top of.
Blyke: No no no no no! I can't, gotta move...
Rein approaches Remi with a thirst for blood, she reaches out her hand to grab her when her arm breaks, a faint yellow glowing thing is in front of her.
Rein: OWWW, What the...
Rein looks at Remi her suit wrecked at this point, she sees a slight yellowish color all around her.
Rein: No, get away from me!
Standing behind Remi is Arlo and Elaine, Arlo wearing the white plague mask, and Elaine is wearing a medical mask.
Arlo: Elaine, get everyone somewhere safe and start healing.
Rein flashes back to turf wars, when she couldn't use her full power. Only now she doesn't have a choice.
Arlo: Stay away from my friends you Freak!
Arlo rushes at Rein and punches her, sending her flying twenty feet.
Rein activates her ability, using what's left of her aura, six legs pop out of her back. She then charges at Arlo, only for his barrier to trap her.
Blyke hops down from the roof at this point and tends to Isen and Remi, who are both currently knocked out. Arlo approaches Rein.
Rein: Stay back, I SAID STAY BACK!
Arlo shrinks the barrier as Rein swings on Arlo and tries to slap him, as it grows smaller and smaller he grabs Rein by the throat. Choking her out like he did on that dusty turf war field.
Arlo: I should have killed you the moment we met, you traitorous bitch.
Rein: Oh Arlo, don't pretend that you were that cool in the second grade.
Arlo loosens his grip on Rein, as a result Rein swings her legs at Arlo. The two of them square up as Arlo's barrier prevents either of them from leaving.
To be Continued....
