IZUMI(POV)
With every ounce of strength I possessed, aided by the technological enhancements, I held onto the dragon, exerting all my might. However, the suit's prototype nature meant that its durability was uncertain. The strain it placed on my body was immense, and the side effects of wearing it could potentially leave me incapacitated for at least half a day.
"Izumi-chan, don't make my job any harder than it already is," he scoffed at me in a mocking manner, which infuriated me.
I shot him a glare with my enormous eyes and retorted, "Keh... Whatever you say, I won't let your taunts get to me."
Maintaining a headlock on Great Red, I released my right arm and attempted to smash him from behind. However, he displayed his ability to teleport short distances, elusively evading my attacks. Frustration welled up within me as I continued my relentless assault. It was then that I realized our struggle resembled a futile game of whack-a-mole at the arcade.
"STOP DODGING MY ATTACKS!" I shouted, growing impatient. "I'm not playing around anymore."
Hibiki-nii continued to calmly evade my strikes, as if he had some ulterior motive stirring up trouble.
"Aren't you concerned about your squad?" he asked, referring to my team.
"What about them?" I retorted. "W-wait, don't tell me you knew our plan."
I couldn't help but wonder why their operation was taking so long. It appeared that someone had leaked our plan to him.
.
In a fit of frustration, I slammed my hand down on him, but he effortlessly dodged it with his flickering ability. He grinned maniacally, reveling in my struggle to defeat him, and uttered something horrifying.
"The thing is, those guys who were sent to destroy this supposed 'device' to control the beast—it's all a lie," he revealed, leaving me even more shocked. "In fact, we've set a trap to transport them to the world of Hunter x Hunter during the Chimera Ant arc, right into their nest earlier."
"EH???" I exclaimed, puzzled. "Are you out of your mind? Why would you do that?" I shouted furiously.
"I was testing the power of Great Red, and it turned out to be successful. However, there are still some limits to overcome," he explained. "Oh, and as for your squadmates, the time in this world doesn't synchronize with theirs, making navigation through time quite challenging at the moment."
Well, it turned out we played right into his hands, and he managed to take control of the Dragon God. Talk about a major guilt trip. I couldn't help but feel bad for my entire squad, but hey, knowing those guys, they've got some serious survival skills. Even though they got transported to the Hunter x Hunter world during the Chimera Ant arc, that's no joke. I've seen those fights, and it's tough as nails. But I'm hoping they'll manage to pull through somehow.
As I loosened my grip, Red found an opening and seized the opportunity to break free. With a powerful kick from his tail, he sent me soaring through the space, away from them. Fortunately, I managed to regain my composure and stabilize myself.
" (PANTING) That big lizard hit me real hard." I breathed jokingly, holding my side from the attack.
Hibiki-nii teleported in the head of Red and shouted. " Now you understand know how futile this is, so step away and let me eliminate that guy, I might spare you if you did."
He offered me a deal, and I could understand why he wanted to eliminate that guy. Just like me, he had his own reasons. However, the situation that Conrad was dealing with didn't seem to match the threat we had encountered in the records of our organization. It didn't exhibit the typical signs of a PA plunderer.
"I'm sorry, but I have to decline your favor. He's under my protection now, so you better leave," I stated firmly, determined to safeguard him for whatever reason that may be.
"So be it," he replied with a hint of disappointment. "I wasn't joking when I mentioned sparing you, but you've left me no choice. RED!"
"Huh?" I wondered, taken aback by his sudden command.
As Hibiki-nii gave the order, that gigantic dragon turned its gaze right at me. Mouth wide open, it was about to unleash its devastating dragon breath. Red flares started rising from its jaws, and I knew I had to protect myself. I quickly crossed my arms in a defensive position, relying on the armament arms I've been honing for ages. Thankfully, all that practice paid off, giving me a fighting chance to survive the impending attack.
JAMES(POV)
"Where am I?" were the first words that escaped my lips as I took in my surroundings. I found myself in what appeared to be a throne room, adorned with hues of red, yellow, and orange. The design exuded an ancient Greek vibe, with a magnificent hydra intricately carved into the walls. Each pillar boasted a towering statue of an armored man, and in one corner of the room, there was a mysterious box. However, my attention was drawn to the elevated throne, adorned with golden skulls scattered across the steps.

" So you have come." There is a muscular man appeared behind the throne.
" Who are you?" I questioned this person strongly.
Then he emerged out of the shadow and having goosebumps when i saw him."
" No way." I was awed.
" I was waiting for you Boy." He said his signature line in GOW 4.
