Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 : Fighter Boys

The monster shot his tongue at Sho, and Sho pointed his butterknife forward, and he began to twist like a helicopter blade.

"Die! Die! Die! Fucking die!"

Sho split the tongue in half, and once he finished, the monster's arm raised up at him, and swung one of the beer bottle weapons.

Sho thought, 'Gotta change direction!'

Sho bent his whole body backwards in mid air, and the monster's arm missed him.

'Close..'

Sho landed feet first on the monster's arm, and he started to run on it.

Sho said, "Need a plan..need a plan. Monster is ten times stronger than me, and faster.."

Sho raised his knife, and stabbed it down on the monster's arm. The monster screeched, and it started to run rampage all throughout the empty city.

'Shit!'

Sho held on tight, as the monster was running real fast with his spider legs, running through buildings and destroying them.

Sho's butterknife was still impaled through the monster's arm, he was still holding on tight.

The monster was crying, yelling, "WHYYYY?! WHY HURT ME?! I CAN ONLY TAKE SO M-MUCH PAIN AT A TIME!!! AHHHGGGHHH!"

Sho replied, "Shut the fuck up! I'll kill you!"

The monster then began to jump on tall buildings, leaping from one building to another. Sho still held on, thinking, 'Shit! Shit! Shit! This thing is going on a rampage! I can't stop it! Gotta do something fast!'

The monster said to Sho, "Oh my son. You wanna know what I remember? How you used to be so afraid of jets when you were just a little young sprout. Tell me, are you still scared of them?"

Sho didn't answer, but then he thought, 'If this thing is mentioning that right now, that means..Ah shit..'

The monster leaped high into the air, and they were above all the buildings.

Sho still held on, but then when the monster turned its face to him, Sho ripped his knife out, and jumped off.

The monster said, "Noooo, you can't kill youself. I have to end you!"

Sho replied, "Fuck you!"

Sho heard humming in the distance, and when he turned around, a fighter jet swooped under him, and snatched him away.

Sho had stabbed his knife into the window of the jet, allowing him to stay on.

The jet stopped, and it turned around slowly to face the monster. Sho stood on top of the jet, and they were up in the clouds.

The monster was floating in the air, and Sho thinks, 'Ah, now he can fly?!'

The monster giggled, "Hmm? You seem to not resist the jet. Not scared anymore?"

Sho answered, "I'm not scared of anything anymore. My dad was the last thing I've feared. Now he's dead, and you're just a fake clone of him trying to destroy me on Acna's orders. Fucking bozo."

"Huhhh? That's rude. Come on, let's play some more! It's time for me to make up for lost father and son time!"

"Shut up!"

The monster flew forward, and went to attack.

The jet Sho was on wouldn't move at all.

Sho said, "Oi! Start flying! Oh..this isn't real either..like everything else..shit! If I jump again, another jet would save me and deliver me to the monster. I realized the monster can't fly really fast either, that's why it panicked when I jumped."

Sho got mad and he stabbed his knife into the front of the jet, saying, "Dammit!"

The monster laughed, "I'm on the way!"

Sho thought, 'This might be it. I wasn't strong enough.'

The monster dashed over Sho's head with a quick bottle attack, and Sho ducked quickly, but ended up slipping and rolling to the back of the jet.

Sho watched the monster fly around the jet, taunting him.

Sho thought, 'It's toying with me..I can't do anything else. I'm a class Z Fighter..with a fucking butterknife. With a low power level and mediocre stats. Dammit..no. No..I won't give up. Fuck this stupid ass monster!'

Sho reached his hand out to his butterknife, saying, "Alright..come on..we're still fighting this bitch."

Immediately, the butterknife started to move, and it rose upwards, making the entire jet stand up as well.

'What the-?!'

The monster charged in again, and Sho grabbed onto the butterknife, but it was still attached to the jet, which is why it made the jet flip upwards.

The monster stabbed all of its arms on the jet, and it went halfway through, but Sho was on the other side, still hanging onto his butterknife.

The monster said, "Nice moves!"

Sho thought, 'My weapon responded to me…I called it..and it came straight to me..'

The monster yelled, "Oh this is nice! Let's go down, down, downnn!"

They both started to fly down, with Sho hanging onto his knife on the jet. Blood got into Sho's eyes, and Sho had trouble seeing. But the wind cleared the blood out.

Sho looked down, and saw they were about to fall on top of a 300 foot tall skyscraper.

'If I threw my knife at a building, and I called it back, would it bring the entire building?! Does it have a weight limit?! Shit, that's something I would test out in training, not in a real life or death situation. I can't take too much damage, I feel like I'm at my limit. Think fast..think fast..'

Sho looked the monster in the eyes, and thought, 'That's it! This bastard's eye is big enough for me to jump through. I can't fight him head on, I got knocked around easily. If I want to take him down, I have to destroy him from the inside. I'm weak compared to every Fighter in the tower, so my options of attacks are limited!'

They began to smash through the sky scraper, and everytime they would smash through each floor, Sho would cough up blood, with blood gushing out of his body and face.

"Gotta push up!!!"

The monster screamed, "Don't fuuuuuuuuckkkk with me!"

"Tch…" Sho used all of his strength to flip up on the other side of the jet, he sat up looking the monster in the face, and he jumped up with his knife sticking out.

Sho and his knife went straight into the monster's eye. The monster began to scream, and he started going out of control.

Sho was inside of the monster's body, and he could see the heart of it a few feet away from him.

Sho gripped his butterknife, saying, "There..all I gotta do is destroy that thing.."

Sho didn't waste time, he ran forward, heading to the heart of the monster.

But as he moved to it, these six foot monsters jumped out, and they were shaped like humans, but looked like they were covered in grey shit, and they had red eyes, and grey spikes all over them.

They hissed:

"We can't let you get clossse…"

"You are weak.."

"The weakessst in the tower…"

"Class Z.."

Sho scoffed, "Shut up! I'll murder you!"

The small monsters started to try and attach themselves to Sho, but Sho slashed his way through with his knife. Sho swung his butterknife around and around, strafing left and right as he did so, killing tons of the small monsters.

Sho was getting close to the heart, but more small monsters arrived.

Sho jumped over them, twisting his butterknife around and slashed away, beheading most of the small monsters. Sho ran forward again, with more enemies getting in his way.

Sho gritted his teeth, as a line of blood spit dropped from his mouth. Sho performed wide swings with his knife, splattering enemies everywhere.

The small monsters were coming up behind him, and Sho ran faster.

'I can endure this pain..I've dealt with much worse..but it can still ruin my mobility. I gotta jump!'

Small monsters were coming up under Sho, reaching for him so they could attach themselves with him.

Sho jumped forward, as dozens of small monster enemies were behind him. Sho was close, but a dozen more small monsters came out, and they all attached themselves with Sho.

Sho scoffed, "Dammit!"

Sho was getting tackled by two dozen monster enemies backwards, getting buried in them.

Sho thought, 'Not yet..!'

Sho tossed the knife forward like he was throwing a dart, and the butterknife got stuck inside of the monster's heart.

The main monster on the outside started to screech, and he began to crash against other buildings, and then he eventually fell on the road, sliding on it, breaking the ground apart in the process.

The monster screamed, "Impossible! No!!!"

He began to melt, as he sizzled under the sun. But as he melted, Sho was slowly standing up out of the monster's body, covered in monster guts and his own blood from head to toe.

Sho was looking up into the sky, right at the sun.

Sho was breathing heavily, with his butterknife in his right hand.

Sho spit on the melted monsters body, saying, "Fuck you."

'I beat him…I was on thin ice…on the verge of giving out..I pulled it the hell off. Low class my ass..if I was able to win this..I can rank up easily…good win..'

[Tower of Valhalla]

[The dark forest]

Sho was conscious again, waking up with heavy breathing and holding the middle of his chest.

He kneeled down to the ground, "Ugh..ugh..shit.."

Sho looked up, and he saw Bebop and her familiar Deru fighting Acna.

Sho then looked beside him, seeing Gideon still unconscious, trapped in his own mind, fighting for his life.

Sho thought, 'This psycho is still trapped within his mind too like I was. And Bebop along with her familiar are still fighting Acna. I have magic crystals in my inventory..and if Gideon the psycho was awake, he could show me how to use the magic crystals to make myself a little stronger. I have quite a few, so it should definitely raise my fucking stats. I can't let a mere brat protect and fight for me, I have to do something. I won't let my pride be stepped on by being saved once again. I'm going in to fight, I'll be the one getting the kill!'

[Gideon's mind]

[Inside of a volcano]

Gideon, a dozen faceless men and women in suits, and four large dragons were soaring down a very deep volcano with fire spitting out of the walls. And at the very bottom of the volcano, we're sharp spikes made out of dragon teeth.

Gideon was inside of a hollow magma ball he created, and he had his hand sticking out of a hole in it, and he was firing magma balls at the enemies and the dragons.

Gideon exclaimed, "It's very very sickening that you guys are using draaaaagonssss to fight meeee! You know they are my favorite creatures!"

The four dragons were a velvet color with sharp tough skin, and they had rattles on their tails, four horns on their heads, glowing red eyes, and long sharp tongues that blew out gold fire.

The faceless said:

"You are in danger."

"Gideon, you need help."

"Death will help you."

"Yes..it will."

"Yes."

Gideon answered, "This is a really super cool power Acna has! Using my past to fighttt meeeeee! I'm guessing I have to win to not dieee! So…bye bye!"

The faceless men and women were throwing swords made out of gold at Gideon, and they pierced through the magma ball.

Gideon whined with a smile, "Awww. The more swords you throw, the more my barrier weakenssss! Abandon ship!"

Gideon bursted out of the magma ball, and he was in the middle of all his enemies.

Gideon laughed, "I stillll think it's hilarious that Acna managed to copy the creepy faceless people who raised me to be like them! HAHAHA! They were sooo creepy! So scary! Not anymore though!"

The faceless enemies swooped in with their golden swords, dashing in fast with quick swings and jabs. Gideon used his dragon arm and fists to punch the swords, destroying them. He then dodged some of the attacks in mid air. Gideon pulled his arm back, making a magma ball form, and he slammed it on the faceless enemies with a laugh, smashing them through the volcano wall.

One of the dragons blew some gold fire at Gideon, but Gideon stuck his dragon hand out to them, and it stopped the flames completely.

Gideon laughed, "Duuuuumy! Looks like Acnaaaa didn't think this through! Fire can't hurt me!"

Suddenly, two more of the dragons were flying around fast, blowing gold flames at Gideon. Then, the other two dragons flew around fast with a giant roar; their gold flames were engulfing Gideon completely.

The flames stopped, but Gideon was laughing, while his clothes were covered in flames, and the flames flowed on him without hurting him.

Gideon laughed, "Hehe..I'm gonna killlllll youuuuuu….!"

There was one dragon on both sides of Gideon, coming at him to attack with their tails.

Gideon pointed his dragon arm down, and a large magma ball formed, making Gideon blast up high, and the magma squished two of the dragons against the volcano walls, killing them, and it killed some of the faceless enemies in suits.

The magma ball exploded, and Gideon started to fall again. There were seven faceless enemies with golden swords left, and two more dragons.

The faceless enemies charged at Gideon with their swords, and the dragons rushed in with their rattling tails.

They all were falling at a fast pace, trying to kill Gideon.

Gideon thought, 'The larger the magma ball, the more energy it takes from me! I need to take in more pain, so I can get more excited! This is so fun! I hope Sho and Bebop are alive too!'

Gideon trapped himself within a magma ball, punched one hole through it, and stuck his hand out of it. Gideon remembered Bain used to point his fingers like a gun whenever he was using his shooting power.

Gideon said, "Bain, I'm copying you! As a tribute! Please don't be mad! You were my first best friend!"

Gideon pointed his fingers like a gun, and shot tons of magma balls out. As he did that, the dragons were smacking Gideon around like they were playing baseball with their tails; Gideon inside of his magma ball was rolling around the walls, and the faceless enemies raced after him too.

They flew in with their golden swords, slicing the magma ball into pieces, saying:

"You are in grave danger."

"You could not be faceless, like us."

"Gideon."

"Gideon."

Gideon laughed as they kept talking, Gideon smiled, "More! More! This is so accurate!"

Gideon bursted out of the magma ball himself, swooped behind the faceless enemies, pulled his fist back, and punched all of them really fast, spinning as he was punching with his dragon arm. The faceless enemies darted down to the bottom, and they were killed by the spikes.

It was Gideon and the two dragons left, and they were getting close to the spikes.

Gideon laughed, "And then there were three! Who wants to go first?! Honestlyyyy I was scared of dragons at first, and then I started to love them! And I always wondered what would happen if they had gold fire instead of the regular colors!"

The dragons screeched, and they started to fly around in circles, and then they dashed towards Gideon, and started to smack Gideon around with their sharp and rattling tails.

They were battering Gideon all over the place with their tails, bashing blood all over the place.

Gideon laughed the entire time, with his face drenched in blood.

They were all falling close to the spikes, and Gideon smiled, "The more damage I take, the more excited I get! Haha! Meaning, my energy from my excitement shoots uppppp! HAHAHA!"

He then thought, 'Even though earlier with the roses, even though I was hurt, I was getting a little excited, but my energy was constantly being taken from me! I couldn't regain my energy because of it! But now, since these are different situations, I can play ball and be even more excited with the slaughter!'

Gideon has always been like this, even before entering the tower. Whenever he gets excited from extreme pain, he gets excited, in which his energy and adrenaline shoots up due to his hyperactive excited state.

Gideon was falling towards the spikes, with the dragons about to swing their tails.

Gideon smirked, stuck his dragon arm out, and a large magma ball leaning with magma expanded outward, and it completely ate the two dragons, killing them.

"Haha! Yes!"

[Tower of Valhalla]

[The dark forest]

Gideon woke up from his unconscious state, and he looked was breathing heavily too, holding his chest, "Ahhh! Phew! That was close!"

Gideon saw Sho to his right, seeing Sho messing with his watch, with the holographic blue menu open above it.

Gideon said, "Sho! You're alive! How was it?! Was it fun?!"

Sho replied, "You! Show me how to use these crystals to make me stronger! Hurry up!"

"Mm? You don't know how?"

"No! Hurry up before I kill you!"

"Awesome! Wait, okay! I'll show you! Go to your stats section.."
