Node smirked raised his glowing purple eyes at the large figure, blood still dripping down his nose uncontrollably while shielding the fist of the large mysterious being.
"You are talking… to the wrong beings… sucker…" he looked at Sniffia. "You know… foxy… we ain't going to run or wait every single time for you… to come save our glowing asses.. after all the vigorous training we have done so… far… isn't that right Peirce?..."
Peirce nodded his head.
"Chai… it's better to fight for something than to live for nothing, my grandma told me that--I want to run away so badly however…" Peirce glowing eyes silted squeezing his glowing green arms. "Not anymore…"
The mysterious being laughed so hard it echoed through the forest.
"--what could little insects like you three do-- defeat me…?! I'm trying to achieve big things here, allowing you little things to bother me will be a waste of power," the eyes on each faces of the large mysterious being all gaped at Peirce in an closed up expression, "come with me boy or your friends here will die a terrible death—you aren't meant for this world, you are meant to be with our god—you're only form for higher purpose—"
"That's a given." Sniffia added, vanished from the arms of the mysterious being, the four arms which were massively on Sniffia cratered deep into the ground.
Node knelt breathing heavily as the large fist left him, every beings there were horror struck that a young girl like her held on to such heavy weight upon her.
Sniffia, swiftly seen at the side with a great slash however the mysterious being guarded himself with one of his arms that was in front of kneeling Node, to the mysterious being amazement he was injured from the violent slash.
Sniffia was all over him slashing at every direction of the mysterious being's body.
Node on the other hand, gave out a sharp exhale stood, held tightly on while his teenaged arms hardly wrapped around one of the large arms of the mysterious being progressing to lift such large creature off from his feet.
The mysterious being's center face stared down to Node with a scoff, stretching his arms at Sniffia as if he was trying to catch a fly not minding the bleeding scratches on his body and knowing he weighed much more even the strongest beings of this world can't lift him that easily, a fragile boy as him can't possible do much than to lift the little finger of my-- to the mysterious being amazement, his feet were about leaving the ground.
The mysterious being's center large face fumed, three large arms swiftly charged towards Node, however an uppercut came from Peirce out of no where, the mysterious being's faces grunted with a squinted eyes as his two feet slightly left the ground almost letting go of his war instruments, giving the opportunity, Node lifted him over to his shoulder smashing him to the ground hard cratering with a loud blast.
Node blinked, staring at his sweating, slightly shaking muscled arms and body. He couldn't believe he could do that much.
"Look out!" Peirce pushed Node out of the way weaving the large fist that wildly tore at him brushing only Peirce's left side causing a large bloody bruise.
The mysterious being suddenly gained his momentum, levitating six of his arms one of them holding his instruments of war stretched side ways while the remaining two arms were folded staring intently at the teenaged kids below him.
Node coughed, resting his body on Peirce's shoulder, cleaned his bloody nose knowing, he had been seriously injured from the inside out by the large fist of the mysterious being moments ago then his eyes noticed the bruised side of Peirce briskly healing right before his very eyes, awe transformed Node's face.
The mysterious being had fought so many pandemonium wars upon wars for thousands upon thousands of years not to lose to some random teenagers of this world excluding the reincarnate of the Destroyer, all his faces grimaced blaming himself and the body he took over from for underestimating the kids below him now thinking to himself how strong are they, cutting them out of the picture one after the other will make things clear.
Then he shouted.
"Mahayana!"
Peirce widened his eyes, saw something that was supposed to be invisible to everyone's eyes coming straight at him and Node.
In the spur of the moment, Sniffia was right in front of him and Node.
She countered the invisible slashes with her unique slashes created by her white sharpened long fingers few still getting to her body.
Peirce and Node only watched dumbfounded by Sniffia's selfless act.
Sniffia's body was full of multiple profusely bleeding cuts from the slashes however regenerating back to normal as if nothing was there as the two boys only watched.
How miraculously her wounds healed so fast, quicker than Peirce's wound, Node thought while staring at the strands of white hairs whirling onto the slashed and battered ground then looked at Sniffia's white hair now shortened at neck length by the invisible slashes.
Sniffia smirked, flexing her lowered arms staring to the mysterious being with her venomous little orange eyes.
"Boys?" She called with a slivery tone.
Peirce and Node immediately stood erect looking over to her muscled shoulders.
"Yesss…" They both answered shockingly, perceiving she had grown stronger and fiercer than before and looking so cool.
"Since you two are stubborn enough to stay. Don't pull me back." Sniffia whizzed her shortened bloodied whitened hair back glaring back at the levitating mysterious being right front of them.
The three of them smirked with eyes glowing while charging to the mysterious being, they separated themselves each climbing the large roots and stems of the large tree round about the levitating large monster as they all flew at him.
Peirce seen punching and kicking as he jumped from tree to tree, Sniffia slashing with her sharpened long fingers then there was Node somehow only groining the mysterious being wishing to have some strong effect.
All of the faces of the mysterious being only looked down to Node thinking what exactly was he doing, about grabbing Node he dodged his way back to the ground, his breath got more and more rougher and heart beats faster and louder.
The mysterious being shouted the instrument of wars' name suddenly.
Sniffia and Peirce both shouted to Node.
"Dodge!"
"To where?!" screamed Node, "did I ever dated his wife?! Why am I always the targeted one?!" Node randomly dodging fortunately for him none didn't hit, hid himself near a large root as he tried to control his breath.
Peirce looked at Node, knowing he was now safe then glanced to the large mysterious being.
"Pssst, lousy maniac. So little outcome you produced for a being with eight arms. Is that all you got?! Now I know the god you think own me amount to nothing as I pictured. Never will I regret ever turning your offer down." Peirce shrugged his shoulders.
"You fool, regret is the most painful thing you will ever face, boy! When I killed everyone you hold dear right in front of you. Come with me and fulfil your higher purpose! So be it!" The mysterious being landed smashing his two feet on the ground as the great impact pushed everyone away along invisible slashes spreading across the area, cutting down many of the draconic beings and large trees around.
The floor opened widely in cracks, totally destroying the ground beneath their feet lifting up debris and throwing off the remaining stunned draconic beast watching even scared to join the fight.
The eyes of the mysterious being blazed in red.
"Boy, you aren't an option or a choice. It is who you are. So answer your calling, reincarnation of the Destroyer or am I talking to deaf ears?!"
Node, now hiding just behind a debris stared at his right side to Peirce also hiding just behind a debris also.
"Are you crazy?! Why did you make it all worst and chaotic, Peirce?!"
Peirce peeped at the fuming mysterious being then glanced to Node.
"Oh my bubbles. The plan works…"
"What in the flying merry jingly thing are you talking about, which plan, Peirce?!" Node groaned.
"--To attract every living creatures dwelling in the whole forest to here and yeah including Sir Lazarus and the strongest creatures of the Forest coming for who is threatening their territory. Node, we need all the help we can get cause we can't fight him alone."
Sniffia's arm suddenly came out from the piles of debris between them which startled the boys.
She stood glaring. Node staggeringly stood up as Peirce followed ever ready, glaring deeply too at the mysterious being's red eyes, largely stood tall few distance away as few debris fell allover as though it was the final showdown between the teenaged kids and the large mysterious being from the unknown world followed by the sounds of creatures groaning and heavy stomping of their feet heard closing in at them without warning.
