Chapter 34 - A New Type (Part 2)

Rocky made a small rock pad to glide across the floor, making as minimal noise as possible. Once she reached the outer edge of the circle, she grabbed the first egg that was closest to her. As she got up to it, the egg was reaching her waist in height, and she figured that the egg shouldn't be too heavy, but as she was lifting it, she grew a face of disgust as she felt how slimy the egg was. She stopped what she was doing to form dirt gloves, so she didn't have to feel it, but as she tugged, the egg was going nowhere, she tried and tried for almost two minutes with no progress.

Duggar was looking at Rocky with an anxious face wondering what was taking her so long, "Hey Mystic, go give Rock a hand, please, and make it quick, I don't know how long this thing is actually going to be asleep for."

Mystic went ahead and took his time creeping up to Rocky.

"What's taking you so long, do you need me to save the day for you?" Mystic asked in a hushed voice as he appeared next to Rocky.

"No, you idiot, it's stuck on something, and I can't pull it out, "Rocky said with annoyance in her voice.

Mystic just rolled his eyes and put his hand on the Egg, and activated his power to make it float in the air with [Feathers Gravity]. As he was expecting the egg to lift off in the air, a black stem was revealed from underneath it.

"What the fuck. Should we cut it?" Mystic asked as he saw that the egg was attached to the stem in the ground, therefore making them sever the stem to set the egg free.

"We have to, come on, and let's hurry, we need to get out of here," Rocky said as she made a clay blade out of the dirt on the floor, she gave it to Mystic and pointed toward the stem.

"Use your strength to cut it in one swing, just in case," she said with a strained smile.

Mystic grabbed the blade and got ready to swing, as he swung, he could feel the resistance on the stem, even with his strength.

Now, as the egg was free, Rocky was able to grab the egg before it floated off into the ceiling, and both Rocky and Mystic started heading back towards Wayne and Duggar, just as they made their way back, the beast's eyes rolled open, looking directly at the people that had disturbed it when trying to take the egg.

"Run!" Duggar yelled out, pointing behind Mystic and Rocky. When they saw this, they looked back to see the eye of the beast staring back at them. Both of them were instantly stricken with fear, but Mystic was the first to snap out of it, grabbing Rocky by the wrist and dragging her towards the exit.

The beast finally got up, saw everybody leaving, and made a screeching sound, loud enough to make the whole place rumble.

As Mystic was about to run past Wayne and Duggar, they also turned and started running.

"What about the eggs?" Wayne said as he was running beside Duggar.

"We'll deal with that after we deal with this," Duggar said as he looked back to see the beast running at a fast pace only 40 meters behind them.

When everybody reached the exit, they scattered to the side of the waterfall.

"Watch out!" Duggar yelled to the others who were waiting outside.

A moment later, the beast jumped out of the cave and landed on the ground making a rumble. It quickly looked around, spotting Rocky with the egg, it screeched as it went towards Rocky, but at the same time, Nina was in the air punching the beast in the face making it stumble back a few meters.

The others saw the stumble as a peak weakness and went straight offensive, hoping to kill this beast quickly.

[Twin Elemental Dragon]

The twins ran and jumped in the air clasping each other's hand, and started spinning like a drill while both their powers were exuding from them, both water and fire, forming into a dragon.

At the same time, Akuma was charging an attack as his hand gripped around his hilt, black energy started forming around him as his hair and clothes were slightly lifted in the air.

After the twins landed their attack, the beast fell on its back while screeching in annoyance.

A moment later, Nina's eyebrows raised as she yelled to everyone, "MOVE!!"

A couple of seconds later, Akuma's eyes opened up with a demonic smile on his face,

[Hell's Torment]

He took his sword out of its hilt with a slash towards the beast, the dark energy that was spread around him got transferred to his sword with the strike, making the energy come out as a large dark scythe, making the floor crack on its way to the beast.

As it landed, a large dust cloud appeared, and Akuma fell to one knee out of exhaustion. The others were all on the floor as they dove out of the way after hearing Nina's warning.

"It's not done!" Ninas said as she opened her eyes with a strained look on her face, she was using her ability to see the future constantly to make sure everybody stayed safe.

The beast got up with visible injuries and an arm missing, but it still looked toward Rocky as the egg was the only thing it could think of. The beast shifted its body in a weird way now that it only had one arm.

Duggar quickly flew into the beast using his wind to speed him up, but the beast ducked down to the floor, avoiding the collision.

[Silent Night]

Duggar activated his ability making a thousand razor-sharp projectiles at the beast's back, the beast fell to the floor and screeched in pain, and at the same time, Wayne used [Torrential Spikes] on the beast's head as it was down on the floor.

After twelve uses of [Torrential Spike], the beast finally stopped fidgeting.

"Is it over?" Moon asked as she looked towards Nina, and Nina closed her eyes and nodded her head once she opened them back up.

"Good, now would you guys mind telling me what the hell that thing is? Don't tell me it's a stool sample," Sun said as he gagged, thinking about them holding poop.

"No, you idiot, it's an egg," Rocky said as she got off the ground, dusting herself off.

"An egg?" both the twins said in shock, now looking at the egg with big eyes.

"Yeah, we need to ta-" Before Duggar could finish his sentence, Rocky screamed.

"Oh my god! It's hatching!"
