*PoV of Zeimachi*
When you think of battlefield what kind of music would fly song across the area? Is it an epic bgm? or maybe a boss music? Well maybe if you're an OP main character it's not anything impossible, but here in this battlefield there's only sounds of guns, ship, metal clashed, thunder storm and etc.
Yeah it's supposed to be that boring without a perfect bgm behind a perfect fight inside of a movie. However, what I'm facing right now is not that fictional one.
The moment I dashed to enter the field, my surroundings started to warped just like how a race car race through a tunnel. Everything turned into a straight line and the sound or echo of the battlefield started to diminish.
"*Jump*"
Sometimes another meaningless thought passed over my head before I enter these frays. Pulling a full concentration was fairly hard if I didn't let out those meaningless thought away, especially when there's muscle memory that etched longer than brain memory before the fight.
Every time my hands turn cold and shiver like this, I don't know if it's about excitement or some kind of trauma.
'I'll just forget about it anyway, let's focus on battle.'
Moving from one space ship to others, dodging rain of light bullets and whatsoever. I cut off my useless thought and looked down at those troops.
'Jump to their formation and rake their members.'
There's a lot of massacre going on down there, such is the fate of those minions who are deemed nothing but small fry. Even though I had hidden my presence using feathers, with all these flying robots it wouldn't be strange if they found me.
'That was close...'
Not long after I jump, the alien creature where I stood before got punched by gigantic man in power ranger suit. Was it Ant-man again? The one who used those quantum tech and something.
That huge alien creature scream a death roar and fell to the ground. Paying no heed to the fall of that alien creature, I reverse grip my chain blade on the air with my muscle tensed up to gain more kill.
"First, stop their movement."
Those purple troops' are not that fool either, they soon noticed something. Something that couldn't be seen however they knew if there's a 'thing' coming towards them. Their technology played a big role in finding me, but that's much less of my concern.
"*Slash*"
The moment I landed on the ground, I circle slashed everything arounds me with the chain blade extending to its limit.
The chain blade continues to extend till it stopped with a clang-ing sound. There's those who got nailed or pierced by its blade. Those pitiful being tried to let got of my chain blade but to no avail.
"Go fly."
Gripping the chain sword with both of my hands, I throw those who got hooked by the chain blade toward their ship. They crashed onto it but there's barely damage at all to its armor.
I could saw their agony as the blade keep plunging into their body one by one before they finally free from their agony to their death. Maybe it's indeed sound weird even though I slash but it got pierced instead.
All of the fish already removed from the first batch, now the long elevated chain blade started to shrink to it's handle just like a yoyo. It keep slithering up there before finally it finally returns to its original length.
"Shraaaghhhh!!"
"Graaaaaghhh!!"
More enemies started to notice my presence and pounced on me through the orders from alien-like commanders. As expected there're more leaders in their army than I thought.
"Second, destroy their defenses."
With the chain blade gripped tightly in my hand, I put up a Demon Slayer slayer stance and prepared for the real fight to begin.
...
....
.....
Passing through the enemy's front line and reducing their numbers, I could feel my head becoming lighter than before.
At first, the nape of my neck was very cold that even a simple breeze could freeze me up. The bone in my hands trembled every time I clashed my blade to another metal. My legs which should have been fine immediately stopped moving when I saw the sword that was losing its sturdiness.
"So this is how battle huh...A war is not wrong either."
*Slash-Shriiiiiingg-Klank*
"...Please don't die on me now." (Zeimachi)
This chain blade would lose its durability at any moment, if only I learned to use my weapon correctly then this guy wouldn't be this brittle.
"AAGGHHHHH!!!!"
"RRAAAAGHHH!!!"
Enemies who could noticed me didn't miss this chance to strike me with their swords, knifes or claws. I hold the chain blade close to my head and closed my eyes in order to sweep them again in one go.
"Third, pierce you all."
Slightly putting my step on the right, I did another circle slash with the normal form of this blade without extending it.
"..."
'Tired. Rest. Exhausted. Home. Need to sleep.'
Many thoughts arose within me, all of them commanding or calming me to stop harming myself and give up this fight.
"...That's it."
But I can't stop here. I had to put an end to what I wanted to do in order to get a result that wasn't bad.
'Next is...'
After looking left and right several times while advancing on this battlefield, I finally found a Van that had not been crushed in this alien field. It's strange how no big man stepped on it until it dented. If it was me, I would use this as a stepping stone to disrupt their formation again.
"Ohh...Touch."
I touched the van, well it was kind of a habit from me as a kid to touch a shiny van for no reason whatsoever. Even though this car isn't that shiny anymore but I can't help to touch it.
"!!!"
"!!!"
More waves of enemies are coming but well…I only hit people who try to step on the van or destroy it. By using the blunt part of the blade… even though there's no blunt side anyway.
"Nope."
"ARGGHH?!"
"Walk please."
"RAAGHH?!"
"Stay in the line. Uhh...Sorry about your face."
"KORRGGHH?!"
While hiding in this Van and killing them secretly, they became increasingly confused and wary of what had happened to them. There were some who managed to escape because of using their high technology to detect me, when there were people like that, I would use the chain blade extended form to hit them from distance.
Even though I am very excited about this battle, but here I am tired with cold sweat running down my head. It should be noted that this is not physical exhaustion, perhaps more of a mental one.
I gripped the sword again to quickly get rid of unnecessary thoughts, and wiped the sweat while closing my eyes. However, the sounds that had been only one or two words resurfaced more clearly than before.
'Why don't you give up?'
"This is not the place for that."
'It's already enough, stop trying.'
"You're not the one to decide that."
'The plot will go on, don't worry about it.'
"Think again."
'You already done enough.'
"Not until I thought so."
'Now it's time for you to rest.'
"There's the right time for that too, and it's not now."
'Let's take a quick look at Thanos face, come on.'
"..."
Whenever you try to push your limits, there is always a disturbing inner awareness. They tell you that it's your limit or you can do it tomorrow and etc.
I called this inner voice as Moody assistance sometimes it harden in response harder to the depression trauma, but as usual the last voice sounded weird.
"What a humanity..."
With a strong will comes strong credibility, but every time I pass adversity the next hurdle will became harder than before. Passing this "wall" maybe becoming some kind of entertainment for me to see how far I'll go, but in my case I'll always went back to the start with nothing much for my gain from those trial and challenge.
"Though I liked to spent my time with you fellas, sadly I got more dates right now."
*Horn start bopping*
A classic car's horn from every time I edit car in GTA could be heard. This is the sign that they're looking for this brown Van right now, which means that I need to move out from this car right now.
*Open the van's door.*
"!!!"
"!!!"
"!!!"
"!!!"
"!!!"
"!!!"
Quite unlucky for me that the moment I gently opened the door, there's crowd passing by. Once again, I uses the feather's power.
"...You see nothing. Go on."
...
....
.....
I slashed and continued slashing at the enemies that were coming on my way, even though there were a few from the Avenger group pointing their weapons at me, I didn't kill them but simply knocked them unconscious with the blunt side of the sword.
*Klank*
'Next are...'
More waves of enemies rushed at me. Even if I've had used Fenghuang Down to hide myself, these chain blades would keep telling them my position. Well...I think most of them who can fly have already noticed me. I'm still using the chain blade for blocking another huge blaster that I couldn't dodge.
'Keep moving.'
I keep slashing every enemy I could seen, the chain blade changing its shape over and over. Flesh, laser, bullet, armor, dirt, alien bits. I don't know how long this chain blade will hold on but I need to save it when the time is right.
"The next one is..."
Not far from me I can see a giant man who put a giant alien ship into a golden portal earlier, although I'm not too sure if the alien ship's menu is a good thing.
If I looked in the other direction more closely, I could see the king of Wakanda running with a gauntlet filled with infinity stones. That suit really does a great job of protecting him from laser-fired bullets, does that count as kinetic energy?
"Whooaa...I like that shockwave."
The King of Wakanda continued to receive shots while avoiding fatal ones, the energy that came into contact with his black panther suit disappeared into energy and was then released in the form of a shockwave and knocked back all enemies around him in a small area.
"ARGHHHGGG!!!"
*Slash-Shriiing-Klank*
"GARRRRHHGGG!!"
I watched not too far and continued to cut their numbers while watching the progress of this battle be it small or large. Luckily my chain blades were able to reach those within range. I can't tanky like Black Panther you know, so lasers and guns are a problem if they come into direct contact with my skin...maybe?
"Oh."
Noticing Wakanda king lies down on the ground, I jump closer toward them and trying to record-dang my batteries, sadly I can't ask Thor for a free charger either.
So I can do nothing but watch this scene where that scarlet witch broke this purple armor in 4K.
"You took everything from me."
"I don't even know who you're."
"...You will."
Not a really long conversation, but I hope there's some dramatic flashback in the middle of her mind.
'Oooohh I really like that "Don't even know who you're." I'll add that in my "Someday want to say" note.'
Their fight has begun, Thanos took the flying boulder and keep taking those red orb magic thrown at him. T'Challa already on move toward the gauntlet and there's Squidward playing with dust and rubble to restrain him.
As for me? You know, hiding behind walls and rubble and also trying to look busy so as not to get caught while glancing at them for a close-up look at this fight. Of course the feather still hides me.
"Catch!"
Thankfully Black Panther passed the gauntlet when he got caught by Squidward. A Spider-man stick its web toward the gauntlet and swing to another place where there're more enemies waiting for him.
"Oi..."
"Huh?!"
*Slash-Clang*
Steal kill is real. The moment he showed a slight gap, I slashed my chain blade toward that squidward to cut off his rubble vortex and freed T'Challa. The chain blade lets out its voice that I already got used to when I missed by two times.
"Gahh?! What?!!"
'Crap...My aim suck.'
This is why I rarely play FPS games for long. Even though I missed, but at least I cut through the swirls of dust and rock. However I've spent way too much time for destroying this vortex.
"Do It!!!"
The huge starship above my head began to aim down its cannons and prepare to launch another round of fire. With that Purple's order, the shot from the starship ravaged the entire battlefield as well as myself who kept trying to protect myself and others.
"Retaliate."
*Boom boom booooom*
...
....
.....
During those bombard, it's kinda hard to deflect those energy beams and avoiding their blast area. However i somehow did it, while protecting allies closer to me with the blade of the chain which unfortunately damaged its durability.
*Crick-krrttt-kraang*
The chain blade has been broken.
"...Thank you."
There was no one close to me and even if there're they're just a few bodies that had been blown away. The feather still works. I used it to heal my wounds because if I'm not mistaken, Fu Hua used her healing power while fighting Ziggy.
I could feel my hands shaking non-stop and the body that was no longer able to stand up fell to the ground. Looking up at the not-so-beautiful sky where the roars and sounds of battle still echoed, I heard the voices again.
'Stand.'
"I know."
I kept pushing myself to back on my feet but the result wasn't too different from before. Cold sweat and chills creep down the back of my neck.
With the weapon already gone, is it possible for me to fight them. Questions like that started to fill my head.
All the words have been said to stay positive so as not to lose control, but the hole in my heart opened again when I saw this feather slowly landing beside my nose.
'What are you doing?'
"..."
'Weak.'
"..."
'Shameful.'
"..."
'Is this all you can?!'
"..."
'You disgust me.'
"..."
'Don't look so pitiful'
"..."
'Use everything you can.'
"..."
'Burn your life.'
"..."
'Destroy everything.'
"..."
'Don't bring defeat in your name.'
"..."
These voices did not always sound pessimistic. Most of them seemed to feel disappointed, there were also those who supported not to give up here, and there were also those who made the smoldering fire flare up again.
But in the end they're asking me the same thing. Those voices turned into one question that has been looming over my heart.
'What are you waiting?'
'What are you waiting?'
'What are you waiting?'
'What are you waiting?'
'What are you waiting?'
'What are you waiting?'
'What are you waiting?'
'What are you waiting?'
'What are you waiting?'
'What are you waiting?'
'What are you waiting?'
All that different thought suddenly became one asking me the same thing. What am I waiting for.
"Huh..."
'Its weird...Now the coldness from my neck has gone.'
I wiped out my cold sweat and thumped my chest by using my fist. My jacket, training long pants, badge, bunny mascot, bag pack and also the broken handle. It's very weird that I let out a smile as I looked over them.
"...I am a loser. A trash who can't be helped and a pathetic failure, am I right?"
'Yes.'
'Yes.'
'Yes.'
'Yes.'
'Yes.'
'Yes.'
'Yes.'
'Yes.'
"Got it."
But even though it felt strange, this feeling was very comfortable for me. Then I put my bunny badge and mascot in my bag and tie the backpack straps tightly so I don't lose them. I also stuck the hilt of the chain sword into the ground because I didn't need it anymore.
'Good.'
'Now go.'
'Bring us victory.'
'Don't fall.'
'You can't fall.'
'End this misery.'
'Protect your friend.'
'Face your adversity.'
The space ship shot laser beam toward somewhere else but I don't pay much attention to it. I guess she'll be here soon.
Through this key I can feel the thoughts that arise within me and find out what they mean. I also found a thread that connected me to someone or something, this link is really hard to figure out but I know it's there.
{Once again, let me be your light}
When I tried to reach for the link, I suddenly heard a voice so clear that I thought it was whispering from beside me. There's another person who could use this link the same as me in another end. But who?
"Let's talk about that later."
*Boom Booom Boooomm*
The space ship which I didn't pay attention suddenly got blown up and fall toward the lake or maybe it's a sea. The fallen of that huge space ship was the sign if she's already here, if that's the case then this battle should be reaching its end soon.
"Fuuuuhh.... Yosh round two. Let me borrow your style Fuka-san!"
Although I don't really remember what my exact martial style is, but the name Fu Hua is deeply imprinted on me. Unknowingly, I put myself in Fu hua's six-fist style stance. Just like what I expect, muscle memory is really good in handling battle experienced.
"Beginning the operation. Fhew...Should I try Ki-Zenith or Ki-Avalanche for them huh~"
I cracked my fist and ready for 'Healing' them.
