Bebop exclaimed again, "Big brother!"
Bebop hugged Sho tightly, saying, "Big Brother! Big brother! You're all..bloody! Did that guy hurt you?!"
Sho replied, "Tch..fuck him. I'll kill him."
"Where is he?!"
"…He's somewhere."
Gideon said, "Shooooo!"
"Gideon."
"You looked messed uppppp!"
"That's because I am. That Rukong guy…really kicked my ass. Go kill him for me."
"With pleasureee!"
Bebop celebrated, "No! We will go together! The three of us, back in action again!"
Sho looked down at Red, and yelled, "Where…the hell..have YOU been?!"
Red replied, "Huhhh?! What do you mean?! When we fought Rukong and his clouds in the sky, I was wounded. But I saw some of the statues being freed, and I saw your two little buddies being freed by a couple of Fighters. So I caught them and brought them here to you."
"..You did that?"
"Duh, brat."
"Tsk..idiot. I guess you aren't useless after all."
"YOU THOUGHT I WAS USELESS?!"
"Maybe, mutt."
"Damn brat!"
Bebop hugged Red, saying, "I like this doggy! Pretty doggy!"
Red responded, "A girl brat is touching me. A girl brat is touching me. A girl brat is touching me."
Sho was holding his blade, saying, "Alright then, let's get going."
On the other side, Grey and Emma were fighting cloud monkeys with hundreds of other Fighters.
Grey was dashing across the road with his large sword, sliding on the ground. His sword was slicing all of the cloud monkeys apart, and then he jumped in the air, holding his sword up high above his head.
Grey's sword began to have grey snakes surround the outside of the blade, slithering its way around it.
"Venom Thrust."
Grey slammed his sword into the ground, and grey venom began to shoot out from the impact, melting and dissolving the cloud monkeys around him.
Cloud monkeys were charging at him from behind, and Grey turned and looked at them.
Grey's sword moved on its own, flying forward and slashing through the cloud monkeys, shooting venom on them in the process.
The sword came back to Grey, and Emma moved out of the way, saying, "Grey!"
Grey answered, "What?"
"You almost hit me!"
"No I didn't."
"You did, asshole!"
"Not an appropriate term."
"Say you're sorry!"
"I will not do anything of the sorts."
Emma growled, and her teeth got sharp, and her hands formed into tiger hands with sharp nails, and she grew a tiger tail, and she was galloping around Grey, slicing and biting cloud monkeys apart, flipping over the cloud monkey staff attacks, and going all out on them with her claws.
Emma landed on the ground, saying to Grey, "Say you're sorry! I don't want to get mean!"
"I did nothing wrong."
"You almost hit me!"
"You would know if I was trying to hit you. I did it before because you ate my slushie."
"Because it looked really good!"
"Thief."
Grey and Emma stood back to back with each other, surrounded by more cloud monkeys holding staffs.
Grey said, "We are surrounded again."
Emma responds, "I can see very well. Apologize!"
"No. I did nothing wrong. I am innocent."
"You almost struck me! And have you seen Court anywhere?"
"I thought he was with Rudy and that Darthen guy. I guess we keep fighting until Rukong is dead."
"You're not even gonna ATTEMPT to fight him?"
"No."
"Fair enough."
At that moment, Court came flying in with his giant wings on his back, making glowing white sharp feathers shoot out of them, killing the cloud monkeys.
"Here I am. Miss me?"
Grey and Emma replied, "Court!"
Court floated near them, folding his arms as glowing feathers shot from his wings.
Emma pointed at Grey, demanding Court, "Tell him to apologize to me!"
Grey implied, "I did nothing wrong to apologize for."
Court smirked, "Children, children. We can settle this after this battle is over. Actually, that would be a good time for me to go get a drink and a few smokes before I hit the hay."
"You do that more than you do raids."
"Oh, you catch on quick. Let's kill these bastards of Rukong."
Running on one of the rooftops, was May, and she was holding her bow and arrow.
'Element's Arrow. Holds fire, water, air, and earth abilities. Yeah, I like Avatar the last airbender, fuck everyone who doesn't like that show. It's a masterpiece.'
May was jumping from rooftop to rooftop, and she was following Kaiju, Kell, Rudy, Darthen, and Rukong.
They all were battling Rukong, with their powers blasting all around the place and buildings collapsing.
May jumped off one rooftop, and the building in front of her was falling to the ground.
'Ah shit! Ah shit! Why now, huh?!'
May shot an arrow downward, saying, "Wind arrow!"
Wind arrow - Air element.
Fire arrow - Fire element.
Water arrow - Water element.
Earth arrow - Earth element.
May's wind arrow hit the collapsing building, and strong winds from her arrow made her shoot up higher in the sky.
"Ooooo shit! Ooooo hell! Not really keen on these heights!"
May was about to shoot another wind arrow, but Kell came around and caught her, landing on another roof.
May exclaimed, "What the-?!"
"You're awake! Good! You should get the hell outta here!"
"Uh, no. The hell?
"Listen to me for once, scum."
"I thought I was your precious sister. Hypocrite ass bitch."
"You are my precious sister. But I just got you back, and ever since that day with the kidnappers and our parents, I've always been afraid of losing you. Mom and dad are gone, so you're my responsibility."
"Mhm, gee. I get it, I really do. But if you don't let me do this, I won't forgive myself."
"I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, fool."
"See? There's the disrespect."
"Go home, May."
"Hell no. We fight together, brothers and sisters in arms. However that shit goes."
May pushed off of Kell, and they began to fall to the ground near Rukong.
May said, "I'll provide air support like a FPS shooter with my Elemental Arrows skill."
Kell thought, '…This is dumb.'
Kell answered, "Keep your distance."
"I'm using my arrows to just distract him, so you all can do your thing."
"Very safe. Thank you, scum. Precious..precious sister."
Kell dashed ahead, and joined the fight against Rukong.
Kell then looked to his left, and he saw Sho, Bebop, Gideon, and Red.
Kell yelled, "You guys?! And a dog?!"
Sho responded, "You?! I thought you were dead, dumbass!"
"I'm not obviously! Where did you hear that from?!"
Sho looked over and saw May, and May looked at him.
May blushed hard, but kept a straight face.
Red noticed, saying, "Sho. That girl likes you."
"You think so?" Sho asked.
Kell scoffed, "She better not! And why are you guys fighting? You'll easily lose!"
Sho replied, "I think I have a way to stop him."
"You? You're a class C Fighter!"
Gideon said to Kell, "Sho beatttt a class A Fighter when he was only a class D Fighter beforeeee. It's all about skill and strategyyyyy when fighting. Just because you're a higher class, doesn't meannnn you'll always winnnn!"
"Yeah whatever, heard that million times. If you wanna be suicidal, fine. Just don't get in my way."
Kell looked to the right this time, and he saw Stacen jumping in through a building.
Sho and Kell said at the same time, "Stacen?!"
Stacen had her stone block hammer in her hand, and she slammed it towards Rukong.
Rukong grabbed Stacen's wrist with his tail, and slammed her into the ground.
But Stacen spun upward and she jumped up slamming her hammer into the ground.
Walls made out of stone started to come up from the ground, and they surrounded Rukong.
Rukong thought, 'Hoh? A stone wall?'
More stone walls from Stacen started to surround Rukong, creating a square house around him in many layers.
Kaiju said to Stacen, "Good thinking!"
"It shouldn't be really effective on Sun Rukong, I'm only doing it to slow him down. He shouldn't be able to teleport
out of there either, he can't use his powers in my Stone Wall skill. This would definitely be a perfect time to take a herbal pill!"
Rudy asked Stacen, "How long does it last against him?"
"Probably a few seconds."
"Oh. Nice. Wait, what?"
The stone walls exploded, and Rukong was jumping out of it with his staff, and hit Rudy and Darthen in the stomach with his staff, sending them flying.
Rukong turned around, and saw Kell and Kaiju zipping towards him with their weapons.
Rukong said, "You humans still revolt against your king? You doubt I'll bring my kingdom here!"
Kell answered, "Idiot! Are you delusional or something? Tch..He'll Break."
Kell stabbed into the ground, and large swords began to stick up from underground, trying to hit Rukong.
One ended up cutting Rukong across the shoulder, but Rukong dodged the other swords, twisting in the air with his staff, spinning it around as it destroyed the swords darting under him.
Kaiju ran past Kell and launched his ax at Rukong at light speed, and as it traveled through the air, it collected lingering energy from the powers around it.
Rukong saw it, and the holographic spirit monkey appeared above Rukong's head with a staff, and hit Kaiju's ax, and there was a loud boom and explosion.
Rukong and his spirit monkey flew back a few feet, and Rukong gritted his teeth, thinking, 'Damn that skill by him! I could easily go for a kill, but these other annoying Fighters get in the way..'
Appearing on both sides of Rukong, was Stacen and Bebop and her familiar Dero.
Stacen used a buff from Carter, a magic rubie in the yellow category, which was an epic enhancement.
Red - A legendary enhancement
Blue - a rare enhancement
Yellow - an epic enhancement
Green - a stunning enhancement
Pink - a mediocre enhancement
Stacen thought, 'An epic enhancement, a yellow magic rubie. I got the buff where three of my attacks are as strong as my opponents, but only three of them.'
Stacen pulled her hammer back, and she hit Rukong with it. Rukong tried to block the attack with his staff, but the force was extremely strong, and Rukong got sent flying.
'That strike! She was only able to do that..the only explanation would be a magic rubie. What kind of enhancement was that?! Her strength was the same as mine!'
Dashing up behind Rukong, was Bebop and Dero.
Dero punched at Rukong, blasting a day of white light at him, but Rukong stopped it with his staff, canceling it.
Dero kept throwing kicks and punches as they moved forward, and each attempted blow shot out rays of white light.
Rukong dodged them all, and hit Dero in the stomach hard.
Dero and Bebop flew backwards, and Stacen and Gideon arrived.
Gideon threw a punch, and Rukong swung at Gideon's fist with his staff.
Gideon turned his fist down and punched the ground, looking up and smiling at Rukong, "Hiiii."
Rukong replied, "Tch!"
Rukong performed a back handed punch on Gideon, breaking his jaw and sending him flying, but under Rukong, a large magma ball began to grow, taking Rukong up high into the air, burning his feet.
"What petty tricks."
Rudy was above Rukong, and Rukong thought, 'Now this one is trouble.'
Rukong turned around and was ready to fight, but Rudy started to spin around fast like a helicopter blade, and giant glowing blue rings shot out.
Rudy laughed, "Look! I'm copying what you did earlier!"
Rukong jumped through the air dodging the rings, even destroying some with his staff.
Then, Rudy rushed in towards Rukong, and they both hit each other in the stomachs, and they both blasted backwards through buildings.
Rukong got up, and his stomach was bleeding, but he started to heal up slowly.
'My people are annoying me. I want to kill them, I think about it a lot, but what kind of king would I be? They need..to bow! But those Rudy and Darthen humans..they pose a threat towards me, they are the ones who stand between me and my goal right now…they need to die! If I kill those two, it would set an example for the rest of them. But I also have unfinished business..with that Sho Takahashi..'
May was aiming a fire arrow at Rukong, and shot multiple arrows at him.
Rukong spun his art in front of him, destroying all the fire arrows.
May began to run to the right, and she was shooting water arrows.
The water arrows formed into giant water beasts with glowing red eyes, and they galloped towards Rukong.
Rukong slashed through them with his staff in a stylish way, and he threw his staff at May.
May gasped, but Sho came in and tackled Mag out of the way, laying on top of her.
Sho exclaimed, "You trying to die?!"
May looked up at Sho, blushing, "You're on top of me."
"I am..? I am!"
Sho rolled off of May, and slid back.
Sho said, "Tch. If off ya. Happy?"
"Hmm. Never said I was unhappy."
"What?"
"Besides, why are YOU here? I heard Rukong gave you the beats earlier."
"Don't worry about it. I have a plan."
"What kind of plan? What kind of plan is there that you have in your brain to take down this monster?"
"I said don't worry about it."
"I'm not really worried about it, I just wanna know."
"You'll see."
"That's not helping."
"Deal with it."
"You alright?"
"..I'm useless right now. Everyone else is fighting hard, actually holding their fucking own. Whereas I'm just sitting here, knowing if I fight Rukong again, he'll take me out in just a few damn seconds. If only I was stronger.."
"Oi..you did good. You saved me. And that kinda made me like you a little bit..er I MEAN um…I mean…it's cool. If you have a plan, do it quickly. We don't need you out here being down and beating yourself up for being a class C Fighter."
"..Hmph."
'Did she just say she liked me?'
Darthen punched Rukong in the face, making him slide back, Darthen hit him two more times, but Rukong chopped Darthen in the chest with his hand, making him fall back.
Darthen looked up, and a must started to come out from him.
Rukong immediately stopped it, spinning towards Darthen and double punching him with both fists in his face, breaking his face, and sending him flying.
Stacen came up to the left of Rukong and swung her stone hammer at him.
Rukong teleported behind her, and punched her through the back, making his fist go all the way through.
Stacen coughed up blood, but she said, "Thy Sun Rukong shall not beat me on this day, or any day."
Stacen dropped her hammer on Rukong's foot, and she fell on her knees while Rukong blasted into the sky because of the pain.
Rukong flipped over and over, and he saw fire arrows and earth arrows coming at him from below, arrows from May.
The fire arrows turned into fire beasts with red eyes, and the earth arrows turned into large muscular bears and gorillas with grass and trees sticking out of their bodies.
They all attacked at once, but Rukong had his staff in his hand, and he flipped downward while spinning it behind his back, destroying them quickly.
After he destroyed them, he gasped silently, seeing everyone jump at him at once.
Rukong looked past them all, and he saw Sho standing there looking upwards.
Rukong yelled, "We have unfinished business!"
Rukong teleported away from everyone, and appeared in front of Sho.
Everyone was falling back down on Rukong, but Rukong slammed his staff in the ground, yelling, "Enough!!"
The force from him slamming his staff in the ground made everyone blast back, making them crash everyone around the area, covered in wounds.
Sho and Rukong stood there, while everyone around them was on the ground, looking up at them.
Sho stood there, saying, "Oi.."
Rukong responded, "I spared you, because I want you, a Takahashi, to see what your ancestors tried to prevent. They didn't want me to be a king."
"I don't think that's the reason why they did that, dumbass."
"Then you know something."
"I don't. I'm just assuming..because who gives a fuck whether you're king or not? Especially people who are not from the same world as you."
"Fool. You are still a child, such big intel would scramble a feeble mind like yours."
"What do you want with me? Huh, asshole?!"
"I want you to kill yourself and declare that I am king, qand I will spare your friends."
"They are not my friends."
"So you would enjoy watching me kill them? Either way, those Rudy and Darthen boys have to die either way. They pose a threat to me."
Bebop looked up, saying, "Sho.."
Kell thought, 'What the hell…'
Sho looked at everyone looking at him, and Sho thought, 'I only have one damn choice. Sure…I don't care about these people..so..I'll just..'
Sho got down, and he bowed to Rukong, saying, "As a Takahashi, representing all Takahashi's..I will serve you."
Rukong gasped, caught off guard.
"No..you can't do that! You have to kill yourself and declare that I am the king! Then, I will be satisfied. Pick your head up!"
"You wanted this also, didn't you?"
"Tch..! You know nothing about me!"
"I'll worship you in the process."
"Stop!"
Rukong got close, and Sho made his glaive blade form in his hand, and tried to stab Rukong in the stomach.
But Rukong caught Sho's wrist fast.
May and Kell yelled, "THAT was your plan?"
Rudy thought, 'What is that class C boy doing?'
Sho said to everyone with a grin, "This was the last card I had up my sleeve…you guys aren't boring at all..but you're still losers. Except Bebop."
Bebop whined, "Sho..what are you.."
Kell exclaimed, "Sho! You fool!"
Sho said, "Extend: 400 feet!"
The back blade of Sho's weapon stabbed into the ground, and he and Rukong went shooting into the air.
Sho says, "Me and you..me and you!"
Rukong answered, "What are you doing? You know I can teleport away from here? Right?"
"I know…asshole."
