Chapter 18 - The Showdown with Hollow

This afternoon was greeted by Hollow who recently came out from the green portal that blitzed into nothing in an instance. His sight witnessed an extended bluish square glassy house that mightly towered the grass field with a shining, Japanese-style golden roof leaned on the top.

As Hollow proceeded to take more steps forward to the tough metal door, blue hologram sparkle merged into a humanoid figure and dissolved, revealing Sparror who hiding his fiery hand on the armor backs as a preparation for the unexpected. The White Assassin prevented his running feet from moving and locked onto The Flaming Hero that suddenly stumbled on his path to the metal gate.

"Hollow, can we solve this problem somewhere else safe?" Sparror asked politely.

The White Assassin ignored and charged towards Sparror direction as if he was literally deaf. Hollow prepared his finger that being empowered in a stab position, resemble a person that holding a knife while running.

"I knew you would do that," Sparror said in calm bothersome with his eyes expected this outcome and he called forth a flaming hand that hid on his back to go up.

Hence, Hollow decided to push his body as he gained a blinking speed boost with his finger aimed precisely at the stabbing position of Sparror's chest after leaving the clone behind. However, it's proven unsuccessful as a flaming twister came in front of The White Assassin and Chemistra rushed out from it.

Afterward, Hollow decided to jab the air with his elbow and pulled back immediately like a magnet, hitting the clone vanished on the scene. Chemistra quickly launched her red injection needle finger like a missile and flew freely to the supposed target.

Moreover, The White Assassin pushed his body to the left and let the flying finger hit the intangible clone freely without clear direction. Then the metal liquid twisted like wind on top of Chemistra chopped-off spot and morphed into a new and fresh injection finger.

"Wow, that's actually quite a cool trick, Chemistra." Sparror praised in a tiny spark of excitement.

"Just focus on taking Hollow down." Chemistra told him with a shrugging eyes and deep commanding voice.

Sparror chuckled with a lower pitch of manly voice and raised his molten hand.

"Yeah and I had another sudden plan, too." Sparror admitted with a confident look.

He aimed the molten hand towards Chemistra rolled her eyes and the flaming twister behind her, morphed into a striking flaming ball. Reactionary time for The Chemist was failed to reach and subdued by the flame ball that turned into a burning swarm when contact with her metal body

Instead of scream and torture, the flame swarm chose to act as a barrier for Chemistra due to she felt safe inside especially there was no scream being found. Moreover, she rubbed her metal hand that was being safely wrapped around before she sighed in relief.

Unbeknownst to the heroes, Hollow revoked each line of grass and put it inside the containment clenching fist like recoiling ammo. Then, He cautiously locked to Chemistra that recently got a flaming buff.

"It's not only for barrier Chemistra, it's a buff for you to face Hollow because I might not directly join the battle since I want to try if this trick works," Sparror explained with a calm demeanor.

Chemistra firmly nodded and cautiously turned her attention towards Hollow who finished revoking the grass. Furthermore, The White Assassin picked one line of grass with his two fingers that function almost like a scissor and channeled the blue and white energy to the needle grass as The Chemist aimed her two injection needle fingers like a dart thrower.

Thus, Hollow started the first move by throwing the grass and Chemistra followed by launching her flying injection finger. The two objects dominatingly clashed onto one another and the needle grass took the victory by shattering the injection finger with ease with The Chemist motionlessly glared.

Luckily, the flaming barrier on her awakened the flame strings and swiped the needle grass away by incinerating it. Hence, Chemistra was surprised at first before an opportunity sharpened her locking stare when Sparror clenched his open palm to make The Chemist to vanish on the scene and sneakily arrived on Hollow's right side.

Afterward, Chemistra leaped off from the grass as her metal feet puked out a metal liquid that swirled into an injection needle containing a red liquid. Therefore, Chemistra dove down on Hollow that busied channeling his body's blue and white e body.

As she landed like a spear being thrown, Hollow flipped to the left as another clone was created as a tribute for The Chemist attacks. But in a nick of time, Chemistra vanished alongside the flaming barrier instance.

Then, in less of a second, the flaming twister spawned above the back of Hollow and summoned a sweeping flame tendril. Hollow swiftly blinked with his super speed and left the clone to be lashed out by tendril as he lifted up his eyes just to bear witnessed a two-injection needle dropped in his direction.

Hence, he countered the needle by throwing the line of grasses that were empowered by blue and white energy, while Chemistra in the air, saw her needle shattered by the grass as it headed to her. Luckily, The flaming twister swallowed her whole body till it vanished together alongside her when the glass almost made physical contact with her skin.

Hollow proceeded to push forward his body and created another duplicate, but, a flaming twister reappeared from behind. Therefore, The White Assassin threw the remaining empowered line of grass as Chemistra landed a kick that had the injection tube to his shoulder.

Both of them received a hit with the grass pass through Chemistra barrier and pierce through her legs and stomach that vomited a line of blood. While Hollow shoulder was injected by the red chemical, he jabbed to the back with his shoulder and magnetically being pulled to the multiple clone he spawned.

Moreover, his magnetic body hit the clone that caused it to dissolve before it stopped when he hit the last clone that he did for dodging the flame strings before. Chemistra furrowed her eyes due to the previous injury and pressed the yellow button on her spiky metal shoulder.

The entire color of the metal body transitioned instantly into a pear yellow as she pressed the grass field with her feet that were ready to enter a running phase. Thus, The flaming twister split her presence into nothing as Hollow's whole body shone a red light.

Furthermore, he brought up his palm that had it's skin become fresh-meat red. Worse things came to The White Assassin as his body was puppet-like pulled to the right and met with Chemistra that rushed towards him with enhanced speed by the yellow blinking energy following her.

As Chemistra got a clear shot with her injection finger ready to spread the liquid and Hollow helplessly being pulled, The White Assassin pushed his body to the right that gave an increased speed. Therefore, the injection finger uncontrollably landed on the intangible clone.

Hollow pushed his body again to the right and created another clone as a process. The White Assassin made a last pushed before pinned Chemistra stomach with his leg like a scissor.

Therefore, Chemistra agonizingly screamed she her tomach was slowly crushed by Hollow who recently got a free enhancement from blue and white energy on, the more pressure he brought with the scissor-like arrow. Sparror urgently raised his molten hand to the sky as he cast out soaring flame breath from The Chemist back, blazingly flooded The White Assassin.

"Don't worry, Chemistra I try to figure out a plan," Sparror murmured in a mixture of calm and panic within his mind.

A picture Chemistra backside was captured by his mind and there was a unique thing on the cylinder tube that was planted on the back of her head. The picture clouded away as Sparror raised his eyes for utilizing a idea of the recent discoveres.

"Okay, let's hope that idea works." Sparror uttered within his mind and a sharp stare of sureness.

Thus, the flaming string lashed out from the blasting wave before wrapped around the tube that contained a steady yellow liquid and twisting metal liquid woke up on the edge part and sacrificed its short life into a needle. Then, the string lashed out the tube from the planting site and rushly stabbed towards one of Hollow's strangling legs.

As Chemistra could feel the bone was about to be crushed completely, she vanished alongside the flaming wave that blasted The White Assassin, brought her to safety. Hollow lost his crushing chance and swiftly landed on the grassfield standing up position while gazed down the to grass for declaring another revoking activity.

As he picked up the fifth grass for recoiling the ammo, his leg felt frozen, which made it harder to go down. Moreover, He looked onto the immobilized leg and bear witnessed that his legs already became like a statue due to the liquid from the injection needle was empty without any traces of leftover.

The constant pulling and pushing by his body, couldn't give a flinch of movement towards Hollow's immobilized leg. Moreover, he looked in Sparror direction and witnessed Chemistra had appeared beside The Flaming Hero in duck position.

She struggled to gain stable breathing with the heavy robotic breath out simultaneously. While Sparror concerned eyes appeared before patted her shoulder in a polite demeanor.

"Chemistra, can you still fight?" Sparror asked in the little spark of worry before he proceeded to warned her, "Because I think I know how to counter his power, but it will be very risky."

"Fine, I will take the risk," Chemistra uttered while her observant eyes continued scanning the immobilized Hollow.

Sparror nodded in worriedness in his eyes and Chemistra locked towards Hollow. The White Assassin dropped his grass ammunition and prepared a tightened chopping hand like a butcher knife to his immobilized leg.

"NOW, SPARROR!" Chemistra screamed in desperation.

The Flaming Hero awakened the molten hand to the sky and Chemistra prepared the injection needle fingers. The flaming barrier continuously protected her, morphed into a flaming twister that devoured The Chemist's whole body in an instance.

As a result, Chemistra spawned again through a flaming twister right at Hollow's frontline sight before dashed her body with yellow energy accompanied her backs. As The Chemist was near her hitting point, The White Assassin switched the empowered chopping hand into a stabbing one as it pierced through her chest by harshly rushed forward his own body, leaving a clone behind.

Blood spilled all over her whole chest that was pierced through by Hollow's hand as Chemistra's eyes were shocked in agony and struggled to let out a scream. While Sparror froze in fear and his eyes shook uncontrollably due to the flaming barrier proved meaningless with Hollow's mighty stab, only brought danger upon his new friend.

"Chemistra!" He uttered in desperation as he retrieved the molten hand back.

Although Chemistra was hanged helplessly by Hollow hands a prey, her metal body was forcefully pulled back by the flaming barrier that created multiple flaming strings, constricted every Hollow's limbs. It started from legs, stomach, hand, and ended right on his neck.

"Got….you...Hollow." Chemistra strugglingly bickered and aimed her injection finger.

Sparror closed his eyes in pettiness as he willingly crushed the molten hand when he attempted to send Chemistra back onto his side. Therefore it caused the strings to become solid as mild steel. making Hollow unable to gain any escape movement.

The Blue and White energy that was released only made a brief appearance before dissolving into smithereens in less than a second. Moreover, Hollow harshly jabbed back with his elbow especially towards his clone, but he couldn't be pulled safely by the swift magnetic force.

With this kind of luck, Chemistra rocket launched five of her injection fingers and headed towards her destined target before her body was swallowed completely by the flaming twister that vanished on the scene. While Hollow was freed from the flaming strings strangle, his stomach immediately became target practice for the injection fingers landing.

Each of the fingers distributed the yellow chemical inside automatically as if Chemistra had a remote control and in less than a second, the chemicals were completely empty.

Chemistra landed on the ground with blood from her chest vomited out onto the grassland near Sparror. The Flaming Hero kneeled as one of his armory hand helds The Chemist back from ever directly falling.

Hollow's body began to gracefully shine a yellow light like a disco light. As he lifted one of his hands that tried to reach the sky, it became paralyzed in the same position.

His head, trying to see the orange sky of the afternoon was also completely frozen on the spot due to the chemical effect. At last, Hollow transformed into a breathing statue after yellow light was siphoned off.

"Sparror….I…..am…..sorry…..for….being….reckless." Chemistra murmured with her tiring voice.

"It's okay, at least we did it." Sparror said in a comforting tone before concerned eyes appeared and glared on Chemistra.

"Don't….worry….I will...be..fine." Chemistra comforted Sparror before she closed her eyes and consciousness flew away.

The metal wires bloomed from the bloody chest and connected with each of the gaps. Furthermore, the hole was slowly being closed by the wire that morphed into pieces of her metal skin.

Nonetheless, Sparror sighed in relief as he witnessed Chemistra live was safe by the regenerating wires and the battle with Hollow had come to an end.
