Chapter 24 - A Scent Of Victory

While Indistructro and Ace exchanged blows with Slicer. Kuhn Lau stood from afar, merely 20 meters away. He closed his eyes and stretched his hand forth towards the ground, there after he harnessed his concentration towards the flow of water, rambling about through the confined aquifer. The current was haulted by his concentration and started rising towards the crust. However, there wasn't much force to exert through the crust. Therefore Kuhn Lau raised his hand, this manipulated the entire current to exert through the tar, in a form of multiple geysers. The current's rotated around him, and kept on towering to greater heights. He as well, in the centre of such goldy manipulation ascended with the pace of the current.

Meanwhile

A black aura modulated around Indistructro's fist. Reason being is that the black aura inhanced his fist to extraordinary heights, initially serving as the Iron Fist of Destruction. He soared through the air and attempted to lash Slicer with it, Slicer perceived the attack and transitioned away from his previous spot. Suddenly Indistructro struck Ace with the iron fist, causing the latter to repel at distance of 60 kilometers, while inciting the implosion of buildings that he flew past, let alone the harrowing of the ground. Slicer then appeared above, while haulting in the air. With the aid of the HUD (Heads Up Dispay), he acquired his vital points through a swift analysis. There after he landed a chop on his neck, evidently he fell to the ground unconsciously. Slicer's feet then touched the floor, he looked up and saw a tower of water twirling, sharing the same characteristics of that of a tornado. Kuhn Lau finally asscended above the current and stretched his staff towards him. In doing so, the tornado of water soared towards him, taking off the ground like a missle. It decreased its altitude significantly and attempted to sweep him away. However he transitioned away from his previous spot and cropped up infrastructure of him. He protruded his eyeballs while exerting a gasp. Slicer then tackled him to the ground, (keep in mind they were 1 460 feet away from the ground). They both collided through the ground, erupting a pothole. Unfazed by the fall, he asscended to his feet while wounded Kuhn Lau winced as he curled to soothe his anguish.

He levitated, and placed his feet on the ground from ahead, Pete charged at him, he stretched his hand forth with his palm locket directly at him. He then fired multiple energy balls, though that was the case, Slicer continued sauntering towards his opponent despite the attacks. Though the energy balls incited multiple explotions, they failed to faze him, thus pouring a flood of frustration across his face. "Arrhhh! Just die god dammit!" Pete then took a leap and averted to land a spinning on the side of his face. Slicer raised his hand up high, in doing so his forearm blocked his kick. He then grabbed his leg and threw him on the ground. Pete winced in anguish. "I see that they have trained you well. But all of your efforts were in vain." He grabbed his neck and raised him up, there after he struck him with a blow on the gut, blood sploshed out of his mouth, spraying his face in the process. He wiped the blood away from his face, utilizing his left hand. He struck another blow, and continued pummelling. He tossed him to the side, therefore colliding against a vehicle while grunting.

From behind Yung Fu fired a red Ki blast towards him. The blast struck him, inciting an exploition in the process. This time around, Yung Fu waited not, as to see if the ki blast somehow caused some kind of fatal blow. He charged at the rupture of flames and took a leap, he pivoted in the air and attempted to land a spinning a kick on the side of his face, Slicer blocked the attack by placing his hands in front of his face. His foot collided against his forearms, initially repelling him (Slicer) slightly further, with his feet harrowing through the ground. He (Yung Fu) twitched his right eye, gnashing his teeth and and went for another attack. He twirled his leg in an attempt to land another kick, this time around Slicer pushed his kick away by placing his hand in front of him. He tried to land a blow on Yung Fu's face, Yung Fu blocked the attack by raising his hand up high, slight next to his face. Slicer tried to land another blow, this time on the right side of his face. Yung Fu raised his other hand and blocked the attack. He sought for another technique and landed a kick on his gut, this promted him (Yung Fu) to fall to the ground on his knee and winced. He landed another kick, this time under his chin. The kick repelled him slightly backward.

From behind, Pete fired a yellow ki blast towards his back. Yung Fu flipped back on his feet and fired another ki blast at the same time. The 2 Guardian's position's placed him in between them. As usual, an explotion imploded. "Pete! Do not stop now keep firing! Put every single ound of strenght that you have into this attack!" From the other side, he nodded and placed his other hand out, he fired to 2 yellow ki blasts from his hands. Yung Fu also did the same. Ace then appeared from behind Yung Fu and struck the ground with the scythe. The scythe exerted a powerful shockwave, a shockwave so powerful that it carved a crack, at the centre of the lane. It repelled Slicer, sending the latter through 5 buidlings while the crack on trailed after him.

At The Skyscraper

With the aid of his eye lens, the lens sent high frequency pulses that recorded a response time, initially forming a map of the entire building and acquiring the location of the primal hostages. "I found them." He said while his head was tilted upward. "Where are they then?" "They are on the 20th floor. However they surrounded by more troopers." While scanning the entire building, a particular object grabbed his throat, like the jaws of a sabatooth tiger. He pressed a button on the edge of the lense, initially zooming in. "With that said, I have detected incendiary energy." She folded her arms and looked down, there after she looked up and inquired. "Do you mean a bomb of some sort." He briefly nodded. She then squinted and inquired once more. "How are you able to map an entire building with just one lens?" He shrugged, and a grin on an additional side. "Well I applied echolocation by converting the energy cell of my cell phone into a high frequency generator. This then allowed the HUD of my lens to map out the entire building." She encremented her eyebrows and nodded, "My! I'm impressed. So you are a mechanical engineer I presume?" "Yes of course."

The door opened, the 2 stepped out of the elevator and marched forth through the passages. There after they stormed inside the offices, whereby all the hostages sat on the floor with their heads situated on top of their heads. There were 50 troopers in one group, and they occupied the entire block. Fortunately for everyone the environment was entirely massive, so massive it was able to a occupy a large number of pupils, with an estimation of 100 to say. The hostages trembled greatly while 10 of the Dark Raiders centered their plasma cannons directly at them. Some began weeping in fear while the time on the bomb, clicked and chuckled with dire haste. The bomb was a ticking time bomb and was positioned on a column just in front of the hostages. A mere child sunk her fingers through her mother's garments, while leaning her head on her breasts. A tear shed from her eye, it drizzled down her right cheek and splatted on the thick, caramel, wooden tiles. One trooper pulled his lens upward, while his facial feautures peered through the gape of the helmet. In a distorted voice, he uttered, "Enjoy the last 5 seconds of your Lively hood!" The digital time on the bomb ran as the following 00:04:37 and counting.

Suddenly from afar, Max and Vanessa stormed inside the room. The troopers whom were not circling the hostages, arose from their seats and the entire group stood in a line in response to their intrusion, aiming their canons straight at the 2 perpetrators. "Your presence is not welcome here, return to where you come from. Or succumb to the same fate of these unruly specamins." Without wasting much time, Max's eyeballs morphed a light blue pigment. Without a brief moment of fidgeting, he repelled the cannons away from their grasps and manipulated the objects into levitating and eventually pointing back at them. The Dark Raider's gasped with exasperation, and took a few steps back with their arms. He actived the weapons, inabling them to shoot back at them, and so they did polverising each soldier one by one. There after his eyeballs resumed to their previous state, enabling the weapons to fall to the ground. There after he looked up, he perceived calvary through the HUD, descending from different floors just above theirs. A vast majority of them patrolled down the emergency exit staircase, while a few integrated into 2 elivators. "We have company." He assured her, he then walked towards the column and spoke to her from at least 5 meters away. "I'll do everything in power to disarm the bomb. In the meantime keep the calvary entertained, and foremost; the hostages should be kept safe from any shoot out." She nodded in agreement.

At the battlefield

Yung Fu fired 2 red-ki blasts by stretching his hands forth, with his palms facing a charging a charging Slicer. Though an explosion erupted, he still fazed through the explition ungrazed, his hand morphed into a sword. With that at hand he plundged it through the right side of his chest, while tackling him to the floor. "Arrrhh!" He yelped as soon as his body collided against the floor, as if that were not enough. Slicer pulled the sword out of the hole that he gaped through his flesh, and jabbed more wounds repeatedly around the entire area. "Arrhhh! Arrhhh! Arrrh!" He yelped with each jab, blood skewed out, like current pouring through the end of a hose pipe. Ace took a leap from behind, he raised the scythe above his head screaming in war cry-style. He was able plunge his scythe through his metal body, at the section of his shoulder blades. At last, a weapon of some sort was able to penetrate through his invincible body. Though the scythe carved a hole, Slicer raised his head and turned his direction towards him, he winced not despite the incimal damage that he obtained. He then furrowed his eyebrows and stretched his hand forth, while gazing his finger at him. From there on, he struck him with a lighting bolt, the force of the lighting bolt shook the very ground that they had placed their foothold. Not only that, it sent him flying just 40 kilometers away from him, while eating away at his garments and burning his flesh to crisp. Meanwhile a wounded Pete crawled up to his feet, Slicer pointed at him. When Pete turned his direction towards his back, he quickly fell to his bottoms, with his hands wavering up high. From behind Slicer, Indistructro fired a purple layser beam, to a mere mortal his layer beam would have polverised him to ashes. Due to unfortunate circumstances, all it did was glisten a purple pigment on his back. Slicer turned his direction towards him. Indistructro clenched his fist, a black aura hovered around it. He soared through the air with incredible speed and attempted to lay a blow on his face. As always he was a step ahead of him and locked his right hand around his fist. Though the difference this time around, was that vibrations echoed throughout the block and the force of the punch pushed him slightly backward with his feet harrowing through the ground. Slicer amplified his strength just a further more to nullify the iron fist, reason being was that he was slowly loosing his grip. He furrowed his eyebrows with frustration and gnashed his teeth. Indistructro as well applied force to his iron fist to overpower his grip, he to gnashed his teeth and furrowed his eyebrows, the only difference was that he grunted while a drop of sweat streamed down his cheek.

Meanwhile Kuhn Lau appeared behind Pete and tapped his shoulders. "Why are still gawking? Indistructro is in a dire predicament we should aid him!" Pete arose to his feet and dusted himself from shoulder to abdomen. "Kuhn Lau!" Kuhn Lau turned to face him. "What seems to trouble you?" "Is it just me or don't you find it rather unusual that the more we fight Slicer...Not only do we suffer physical damages, as well as our energy. We keep losing energy while he still stands firm, unfazed yet repleshed with energy." "That's because he is a machine. We need to find a way to penetrate through his defences, there has to be some kind of fragile source inside him. Once we get a hold of that source then there won't be a need to continue relying on our abilities." Pete looked at the scythe lying next to his (Slicer's) ankles. He tapped on Kuhn Lau's shoulder and bluntly pointed at it. "Look! Ace's scythe. It was able to penetrate through him the last time." Kuhn Lau nodded with a smile, "That's because it is made of Dark metal. It's the only logical reason. Only can one dark metallion substance have the adequate matter to penetrate through another another dark metallion substance."

Meanwhile

Indistructro intensified his strength to a different scale, Slicer's palm attained heat with the maximum temperature of 2 400 degrees. You could see the orange heat, mould spreading across his hand. Desperate for a loop hole, he held the back of his head (Indistructro's head) with his left hand and pulled him closer, then after he struck him with a knee strike on the gut. Blood sploshed out from his mouth. Slicer then applied pressure to the back of his head by compelling his face through the tar. There after, he placed his foot on his head and stomped his head 3 times.
