Chapter 27 - Chapter 27 - Lethal

After the island chaos finally calmed down. Both Teams' houses were destroyed. Due to Victor's gift, a piece of land got separated from the island. That land drifted to the ocean with no hope of returning. The Golden Circle sent a drone down at Victor and warned him. "USING YOUR GIFT IS FINE! BUT RUIN THE ISLAND ANYMORE THAN YOU ALREADY HAVE AND YOUR TEAM IS DISQUALIFIED!!" the drone stated.

Uranus saw that Isaac was getting closer by the second. He was hesitant to send another fighter at Isaac so he decided to ignore his advancement for the time being. An orange-haired man in a yellow kimono named Helius questioned Uranus's judgment.

"Are you sure you want to leave him be? He might steal the flag under our nose" said Helius.

"No, I have the gift to see and hear through others from birth and I assure you he will get what is coming to him. I can't risk another fighter against him. It's better for Isaac to come here and you put him in his place as a defender should" replied Uranus.

"More importantly our next fighter already left to face the two who are journeying through the forest. That's where my interest lies now" he added.

Terry and Lethal Sniper headed left the hill over an hour ago and arrived close to the cave that leads to the underground. They were spectacle about entering the forest because they didn't know their way very well. "Walking around it is best. Forest reeks of ambush" said Lethal. Terry nodded in agreement. Cj joined their conversation and said. "Guys I know this is sudden but I really want this round to end quickly. We don't have all day. So far we aren't close to getting the flag and over a day has already passed. If you could be so kind to travel through the forest. That way is faster" said Cj.

"What! I don't like that environment" Complained Terry.

"Why are you in such a rush? The second round doesn't have a time limit" Lethal asked.

"Just do it. Watch each other's backs and you will be fine. You know what will happen if you disobey" Cj forced. The two scratched their heads confused and followed Cj's order. In the end, they went into the forest with high alert. After half an hour of walking, Terry and Lethal encountered two people in the forest drawing on a tree. They silently hid behind a tree close by and peeped at what they were drawing. A bald monk was drawing the sun with a red marker while a purple-haired lady was drawing the moon with a black marker. They seemed to be enjoying themselves and doesn't have a care in the world.

Lethal and Terry nodded at each other before Lethal left. She ran a couple of meters away from Terry and looked for the perfect spot to snipe. "If I stayed there I'd probably be in his way since I can't attack first" Lethal thought. After finding the perfect tree to climb on to, she started an enchantment.

"I bestow on thee, the weapon made to slaughter my foes!" she said in her mind. A sniper rifle appeared in her hand out of thin air. People would call it magic if they saw it. She had no ordinary sniper rifle. The gun shoots two types of bullets in a specific order that cannot change. "This is the first time I am using this one. Wonder what it does?" Lethal said surprised. Her gift equips her with the best weapon for the moment so if that's the gun she gets it must be the perfect one. After preparing herself and aiming the rifle at the monk, she waited for Terry to make the first move.

The Monk and the lady were still idling by until one of them turned around suddenly. "Terry, Uranus said they are here," she said.

"Yep, I heard him too. That sucks. I really wanted to prove that I was the better artist" sighed Oden.

"He says that one of them is about to shoot us. What are we supposed to do then?" asked the lady.

"Let's teleport over there" Oden laughed. The lady laughed along with him as she held on to his right hand. They were loud enough for Terry to hear every word.

"SHIT! Lethal they know where you are. Get away from there" Terry shouted in a panic. It was too late, the instant Terry looked back at the enemy they disappeared. They were no longer before him. "They have someone as fast as Fei on their team," Terry said surprised. Lethal heard Terry's shout but it was all for naught. Lethal was pushed off the branch she was standing on. When she landed, a man was behind her while a woman was in front.

"May Katrina, This must be your first time using your gift in the competition. I commend you for hiding it so long" said Lethal impressed.

"Yep, it's not like I was going to get a reward for keeping it a secret" May replied. Lethal thought about why May didn't simply teleport to steal the flag and only one answer came to mind. "Range, you have a limit to how far you can go. That's sad. Pales in comparison with what Fei can do" said Lethal.

"Cut the shit, judging from the blue jacket you're a supporter. You can't hurt us in any way unless someone on your team attacks first. Those are the rules" May explained.

"How long will your Teammate take to get here I wonder. Couple of seconds is all we need to end your life right now" said May. Oden disagreed with May's statement. "Killing isn't necessary. Let's just knock her out cold" said Oden.

The sniper rifle that was on the floor disappeared then reappeared immediately in Lethal's hands again. She aimed the rifle at May and said "This game isn't more important than my life. I will shoot you". At this moment nobody questioned why Lethal Lady was an assassin. Despite the situation, she was in she still pulled out her weapon with the intention to fight. Not caring about the consequences whatsoever.

CLAP CLAP!

"Calm down, miss. I'm here. Let me strike them first." Terry said huffing and puffing. He arrived just in time to stop Lethal from making a big mistake. If she had pulled the trigger Team Odd would have been disqualified. The four stared at each other for over ten seconds until Oden heard Uranus's voice.

"Terry is their other fighter. You need to get rid of him. Once he's gone Helius can deal with Isaac and that's all she wrote. Their offense would crumble" said Uranus worriedly. Although things are not going Cj's way he still looked calm and compose. As if he has nothing to worry about. It made Uranus furious enough to want to hurt himself. Oden ran up to Terry and grabbed him by the neck without warning. Terry broke free from his chokehold and elbowed Oden in the eye.

Lethal happily aimed her rifle at Oden but May didn't give her a chance to shoot. May tried kicking the rifle out of Lethal's hand but she took a big leap back. Terry pulled out a pencil from his pocket then aimed it at May. The pencil was 3 centimeters in length. The pencil extended its length to 10 meters and stabbed May in her stomach. After determining May's next move Lethal pulled the trigger. May teleported away from the bullet without much trouble and appeared beside Oden. Despite dodging the bullet, her right thigh was still pierced. "Oh! So that's what my rifle does" Lethal said surprised. It appears that dodging the bullet will still lead to injuries.

"There I attacked both of them. You should be okay now" Terry said.

Lethal nodded in reply. "Thank you, I really was going to shoot them if you didn't step in," She stated. Lethal took a couple of steps back to gain distance while Terry picked up multiple rocks off the ground. He threw the rocks at Oden with plenty of force behind each one. While the rocks were being thrown they gradually grew in size. They became the size of a basketball while in mid-air. May easily dodged all the flying rocks but the same does not hold true for Oden. His shoulder was hit and he lost balance because of it. Lethal saw the opportunity and shot Oden three times consecutively to ensure the kill.

"SHIT!" May shouted. She teleported towards Oden, picked him up then teleported away from the bullets in just two seconds. Oden clings his fists while in May's hands. "Ouch, my damn shoulder hurts" Oden complained.

Oden took a blue ink marker out of his pocket and wrote on his body. "HEAL ME," he wrote. As soon as he wrote on his injured shoulder Oden began stretching his hands. It was as if he didn't suffer any injuries in the slightest. Lethal and Terry were surprised by what he just did. Even May didn't know Oden had such a gift in his pocket until he healed her thigh moments ago. After putting the marker away he looked out for Lethal and spotted her immediately.

"You're first," Oden said out loud.

Terry was blocking Oden's path to Lethal. Wherever he went Terry made sure to go as well while picking up random objects off the ground. "Mhmm, May go get her" Oden sighed. May suddenly appeared behind Lethal and grabbed the gun away from her. Lethal was completely overwhelmed in terms of strength.

POW!

Without hesitation, May pulled the trigger at Lethal's head but nothing came out. Only a loud noise with powder surrounding them. The sniper disappeared out of May's hands. Lethal summoned dual guns and tried shooting close range. May disappeared before she could even shoot the first bullet. Terry wanted to help Lethal but Oden wouldn't let up on him. With every punch, Oden landed it felt like Terry was being pushed away by the wind. Oden continuously assaulted Terry with blows after blows.

SHWOOO! SHWOOO! SHWOOO! SHWOOO!

SHWOOO! SHWOOO! SHWOOO! SHWOOO!

Oden's barrage of punches got even worse for Terry. He was sent flying into a tree coughing out blood. Terry picked up three twigs and threw them at Oden. The twigs became as large as a human. Oden moved to the right to avoid the twigs but once he did his feet felt tangled. Suddenly he fell to the floor. A vine was tied around Oden's feet. Terry ran up to him and increased the size of his rock. This time the rock became as big as a boulder ready to fall on Oden. Before the boulder fell on top of Oden, he punched it with little effort behind it. His fist made blew the boulder away with strong wind pressure. The vines around Oden's feet withered away setting him free. Oden took one big leap and punched Terry in the face.

POW!

A bullet suddenly pierced Oden's right leg. Lethal was fighting May but she was still keeping an eye on Terry ensuring his safety. Her desert eagle guns were replaced with a Scythe. A weapon she was more familiar with. As much as May wanted she couldn't close the gap between Lethal and her. Lethal's instinct is to stay far from an enemy and plus her weapons are very versatile. "It wouldn't hurt to get that sniper rifle again. I didn't even get to see what it does" Lethal said disappointed.

"I thought you could only equip guns," May said annoyed.

"I never said I couldn't equip other weapons. Suck it" Lethal replied.

May charged at her and avoided every swing from the scythe. "Another reason why your gift pales in comparison with Fei's. Fei would not have to worry about any of my strikes landing. What good is your teleportation if you can't steal the flag? Seriously I need to know" Lethal provoked. May glared at her in reaction to what Lethal told her.

"You talk too much for an assassin" May stated.

Lethal swung her scythe three times consecutively missing each time. May dodged all three swings and closed the gap between her and Lethal and long last. What Lethal said made May want to crush her skull more than anything. She kicked the scythe out of Lethal's hand then grabbed her by her tom hat. She swung Lethal's face to the ground.SLAM!

SLAM!

It didn't look like May was going to stop anytime soon. She continued to slam Lethal's head on the ground harshly until her forehead bled. "You talk a lot. Quit comparing my gift with Fei's. They are different. Not the same" May said upsettingly.

"Any last words," May asked before she slammed her head one last time.

Lethal looked at her foe coldly in the eyes and smirked. "Do you have a family?" Lethal asked curiously. Her question left May in shock. Out of everything to come out of Lethal's mouth that was the last thing she expected. "Yes, My uncle and I are the only Katrinas left" May answered. May gripped Lethal's hat tightly and was about to slam her face to the ground again.

SPEEEEEEEEEEECE!!!!

May was sliced in two by Lethal's scythe. The scythe floated in the air and sliced May into small pieces. It was so sudden Terry and Oden thought that they were imagining it. May became a lifeless corpse within seconds but while being diced up she managed to say something.

"Monster"

Lethal stood up and rubbed her forehead. "My condolences to your uncle. At least you damaged my head quite a bit so we're kinda even" Lethal said with the scythe in her hand. Oden charged at her enraged by the sight he witnessed.

MONSTER! WE WEREN'T GOING TO KILL YOU SO WHY!?" he shouted angrily.

Lethal held the blade part of the scythe and aimed the other end at Oden. The end of the scythe opened up and two bullets went out like a gun. The bullets were faster than ever. The first bullet grazed Oden's cheek while the other bullet shot him in his stomach.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Oden screamed.

With all the pain Oden was currently feeling, what was really on his mind was how Lethal could kill someone just like that without hesitation. "We weren't planning on killing you people. Just knocking you guys out was enough. Now you went ahead and did the unthinkable" Oden cried as she looked at the chopped-up corpse.

"May, I'm sorry"

King Almon was fascinated by Lethal's gift so he called Ronald over to him. "The gift she has, do you think it's Equip," he asked. "Most likely, if that's her power then she is one of your prey" Ronald reply.
