Chereads / STRIFE: A Life and Death Tale / Chapter 6 - 6.) Destrucìon's New Leaders!?

Chapter 6 - 6.) Destrucìon's New Leaders!?

The assassins face a new goal as they return from their missions. They now face the task of taking down none other than Haydes and HellBlazer. They seem to be connected and to make matters worse. Haydes is Vashjai's own older brother. They search for their whereabouts while Le Destrucíon ushers in a reign of new leaders. Seems not everyone agrees to this, though.

Joe: "Our new LEADERS!? Who…. THE FUCK decided that!? I lead us!

HellBlazer: "Joe, settle down. Joe, you've got to calm down."

Joe: "We've been fine and completing EVERY mission under my lead! Why would we need new leaders!?

HellBlazer: "Joseph calm yourself."

Joe: "Did I do something wrong?? O-or am I just not good enough anymore!?"

HellBlazer: "Joseph."

Joe: "Like we don't even know these mongre-. HEATHENS! They ain't even prove they could lead u-"

HellBlazer: "JOSEPH, QUIET!!"

Joe: "U-uh… oh. Apologies… Blazer."

Everyone in the room grew silent once HellBlazer got angry. A quick yet frightening vibe and tension swept across the room. Quickly silencing Joe's entire rant.

"Daaaaaaamn", says Tailee as Hellblazer begins to explain his sudden, jaw-dropping news. Clearing his throat just before speaking of Diablos and Angelos' purpose here.

HellBlazer: "Eh ehm! Now then. You guys have new leaders. Of course you should know this means they're quite capable… I mean, I did choose the 2 of them personally. Their performance during the test was far above what you all have shown!"

Sonya: "Ok but…. Why did we "NEED" new leaders, Sir Blazer? Please elaborate!"

HellBlazer: "Good question, Sonya. I sought out new leaders for what's to come. At your current level and with how long we have until the operation. There's no way this group can do it without me being there, and I won't be there THIS time, instead... they will. Their fusion is nearly equal to my own strength, and it's still growing."

Joe: …

HellBlazer: "So, with that being said. We'll be moving forward with ope-"

Joe: "Lemme stop you right there, Blazer. I couldn't give a rat's ass about what YOU saw! I want to see for myself what they can do."

Sonya: "I saw a glimpse, but it's not enough to say they're leader-worthy.

Tailee: "We think so as well."

Kitiro: "Yeah. Let's test dese gwamgods, mahn!"

Demetri: "Normally, I could care less. But I'm in total agreement this time. You guys need to be tested by who you'll lead."

HellBlazer: "What did you ha -"

Daiblos stops HellBlazer mid-sentence. Instead, he himself asks… smiling at HellBlazer as he steps ahead of him to address his new team.

Diablos: "What did you have in miiind?"

Joe: "Simple. You'll do what HellBlazer had to in order to reign us in, which was to fight us head-on. Two verses seven. Should be easy enough if what HellBlazer says is true."

Angelos: "Heheheeee! This…. Should be fun!"

HellBlazer: "I guess you're all agreeing with this?"

All 6: "Yes!"

Diablos: "Alright then, it seems the test is a go!!!"

Joe: "So we'll fight a -"

Diablos: "Angelos, teleport us to Vonra!!!"

Angelos: "Heh! EASY!"

Demetri: (This… is quite peculiar)

Angelos: "TELELIGHT TRAVEL!!!"

A grand, white circle pattern covered in Holy runes appears beneath them. Casting a large ray of light straight up out of Destrucìon Manner and onto Vonra 9 in 3 seconds flat.

Tailee: "The fuck!? Where are… how the?"

Joe: "Tch!"

Joe looks around to scope out where they've been teleported. Circling about as he tries to grasp the situation.

Demetri: "Peculiar, indeed."

Sonya: "Wait, didn't he say Vo-"

Diablos: "Vonra 9! Vonra 9 indeed. You were brought here so we wouldn't destroy the base."

Tailee: "Right!"

Diablos: "But of course, a planet is nothing to our power either! So Sir Blazer shall put a contract on this planet to reinforce it!"

Joe: "So if we have all the kinks sorted out! Let's get started, you two!"

HellBlazer: "The contract is set, and I'll be watching from Sedus 9. Go all out! All 7 of you. You'll need to if you don't want to be completely overtaken."

Joe: "Yeah, ok. 7! Let's show 'em our might!!!"

Taishin: "Waaaaay ahead of you, Joe! I'll take 'em both out right now!"

Angelos: "I'll take the sapling, Brotha D!"

Diablos: "Coo. You do that. I'll start the ruckus then! BLACK CIRCUS!"

A black veil engulfs the area. Within it holds a black mass that turns the life and objects within the area into black soldiers. Mindless soldiers.

Joe: "Nice trick! What pushove-"

Before Joe's eyes was an unconscious Taishin being held by Angelos. Angelos sets him down as Diablos joins his side.

Diablos: "Well, Joe?"

Joe: "Tch! Must've caught 'em by surprise. But I won't be the same!"

Diablos: "Let's "test" it then lil whore."

"RAAAAGH!!!", yells Joe as he dashes at Diablos. The others watch to assess what their opponents can do.

Diablos: "Hmph!"

Joe throws a speedy 10 straight jabs in a brawler-like fashion. He slowly pushes Diablos back who could only smile at the young lad.

Diablos: "Oh-Hohoooo! You're a brawler? Niiice my guy! But…"

Sonya: "We have to jump in. He's gonna rip my brother apart."

Demetri: "Yeah, let's go. They're trouble!"

Meilee: (Demetri actually sounds interested and concerned. They really are trouble!)

Tailee: "Let's go, guys!!!"

Tailee rushes ahead of the others to aid Joe, who was being pushed back by Diablos.

Diablos: "Seems as though we have company. Angelos, let's make this quick! They're not ready for the level we're at!"

Diablos throws a jagged, Swift right-hook at Joe. Joe goes flying into Kitiro, sending them both into a nearby mountain. At the same time, Tailee squares off with Angelos. Matching him blow for blow as they both employ the arts and style of the monkey.

Angelos: "Well, this is quite the surprise. I should have sparred more with you back then!"

Tailee: (his strikes are heavy as hell, and he adapts to each strike I throw. He's far superior to my siblings and the others.) "Ha! You're making my excitement shoot through the roof!!!"

Meilee jumps behind Angelos and sweeps him, causing Angelos to lose his balance.

Angelos: "Woah there lil baby!"

Angelos throws his left hand into the floor, smashing straight through. He then does a split, kicking at both Tailee and Meilee, who barely counters the strikes.

Tailee: "Damn, that kick was heavy!"

Meilee: "Ngh!"

Tailee: "Retaliate Meileeee!!"

The sisters regain their footing and rush at Angelos from both sides. Angelos enters his signature Holy Mystic Dragon Style. A style that employs rapid swift strikes. With every block being a counter attack.

Angelos: "You guys are good!"

Diablos jumps behind Angelos and yells out…

Diablos: "SWIITCH!"

Within a millisecond, Diablos releases a massive flurry of fists upon the fast approaching Tailee & Meilee! Angelos kicks Sonya and sends her flying into Joe and Kitiro, who were just recovering.

Angelos: "Hmmmmmm. Yeah, I'll blow y'all up, too!"

*SNAP*

A white pillar engulfs the mountain Joe and the others were smashed into, incinerating the whole area as it rises.

Demetri: "You seem to be enjoying yourselves. Angelos, was it? Come at me!"

Taishin, who was just getting up, decides to challenge Angelos yet again. He was a stubborn one and refused to stay down.

Taishin: "Hold on there, Demetri!"

Demetri: "Tch!"

Taishin: "I'll be butting in here! I've got to pay him back."

Angelos: "Here I come then!"

Angelos dashes at Demetri at lightning speeds!

Angelos: "Blessing white strike!"

Angelos throws a jab faster than light itself. Demetri dodges while Taishin leaps forward.

Angelos: "Nice reflexes, Demetri! Watch out for the backlash, too, amateurs."

Both: "WHAT!?"

Demetri and Taishin are blown away by a white flash that follows behind Angelos' strike.

Angelos: "Now you're mine!"

*SMASH* *CRASH*

Tailee: "Ha! I'm coming for you, Diablos!!!"

Tailee is found leaping and dashing through the sky as Diablos throws a barrage of black veils her way. All while standing on Meilee, who was pinned down.

Diablos: "Hahahaaaa impressive lil baby. Impressive indeed! Now then…"

Diablos takes his foot off Meilee and kicks her. Sending her flying into Tailee, who was blinded by an approaching veil. Meilee beat that same veil to Tailee, which caused them both to take the full impact of the veil.

"AAAAAAAAAHH!!!"The girls screamed as they were dropped to the floor and drained by the veil.

Diablos: "Now that my veil has you locked in. I can incapacitate you two and end this whole thin-"

A massive root shoots from beneath Diablos' feet.

Diablos: "Son of a-"

Then, a barrage of energy blasts and slashes come flying at him as well.

Diablos: "Stupid little!... Alright then. GRAND HEAVY DARKNESS!"

An even more intense mass if darkness befalls the battlefield. Its density and potency dwarfs the ones used in the entrance test.

Tailee: "MEILEE! Reinforce your body, but send 50% extra to the legs!!!"

Meilee: "RIGHT!"

The sisters reinforce their bodies with extra added to the legs. This kept them from being smashed into the floor and upright. A little further away from there was Angelos, who was swiftly blocking and completely countering EACH strike thrown by Taishin and Demetri.

Angelos: "Heh, seems as though you guys are being cornered."

Demetri: "Tch! "BLAZE!!!"

A massive wave of dense blue fire engulfed the battlefield!

Angelos: "Grr! I've never been a fan of….THE HEAT!"

Angelos jumps up and calls Diablos to his side.

Diablos: "Guess we'll be putting y'all down early, huh? Crazy."

From the distance, Joe, Sonya, and Kitiro are dashing to help their fellow team members.

Joe: "What're they doing!?"

Sonya: "I don't know. But the energy they've built in just 3 seconds. That energy they've collected completely dwarfs Vonra 9's!"

"GRAND ECLIPSE!!!"

For just a moment of a millisecond. The area froze of black wherever the white light from the artificially made moon glared. Those frozen were stripped of their sense of anything, including a sense of power usage and abilities.

Angelos: You're allllll done for now! Can we go!"

5 universes over in the 7th system of galaxy 1A. Vashjai and Tristan continued their search for clues on Haydes' whereabouts. They find themselves on an urban planet of criminals. Planetoid Slutella.

Vashjai: "Tristan…. Continue annihilating their soldiers until this bitch talks."

Tristan: "….right"

Vashjai: "hmm! Now listen here you bitch! We know Haydes has been here. This is a piece of his signature garments of Gahwhardia and his scent is alllll over your dusty, rat! ASS!

*SMASH*

Vashjai throws the female ring leader through her own hideout. Caving the whole place in.

"LE FAMINE!"

"Ahh! Ahhh! Aaahh! AAAAAAHHH! No!!! Please I'll tell you! Just don't send me to a non-existent Death. He's not even around. Where will my soul g-go!"

Vashjai stops in his tracks. Her words struck a nerve that forced quite the amount of empathy from our assassin.

Vashjai: "Ah!(I can't leave someone like this alone with no one she knows is there to protect and follow her. Besides I'll kill her later. She's on my damn bingo list.) Tristan stop!"

Tristan: ….

Tristan stops his assault on the planetoid while Vashjai ceases his mass drainage of its life force.

Vashjai: "Alright you bitch! Tell meee….where the fuck my brother is!"

Back on Vonra 9 the battle had continued on. Only to keep coming back to the same near-end results.

Diablos: "That's the third time we've knocked you amateurs down. This ain't a damn mini arc within our story arc. Cut the shit and stay down so the story can move on!"

Angelos: …

Two figures in far distance approach Diablos and Angelos.

Joe: "You see we can't do that. The others agreed to stay down and leave this to us!

Sonya: "We siblings hold the highest power amongst the seven of us. So we'll show you guys the peak of our group's power!"

Diablos: "Oh these muthafuckas right here mannn! Angelos come on! Let's take 'em down one last ti-. What the?"

Angelos: "That's what I've been asking."

Joe and Sonya emitted a light from their bodies. Scarves clad in Holy light particles formed around their necks. Dual wielded twin weapons formed in their hands as well. Joe shined of a purple light and Sonya a reddish pink one.

Joe: "These are known as our dual forms. Doubling every stat we have to offer as well as our skill level and weapon IQ. We'll be kicking your asses here!"

Diablos & Angelos: "This could be trouble!"

Two universes over from where he test takes place. In the exact opposite direction of where Vashjai and Tristan are gathering intel. Sanjin and Bujuro find their own means of getting to Haydes.

*STAB*

"Gyack!!"

*SLASH*

"AAAAH!"

"W-We told you bastards what you needed! You know where the one known as HellBlazer is! Why're you slaying my people! My family! My baby gi-

*SLASH*

Sanjin: "Shut your filthy mouth! What an annoyance! Bujuro we have our info. HellBlazer is the closest to Haydes currently. Lets go!"

Bujuro: "Alright."

"N-no! No! No! No! No! No! AAAH-"

*STAB*

A complete disaster scene was left in their quake as System 1c of Galaxy 1B in Universe 8. All the planets were collapsing as they were swept through on their quest for intel.

Sanjin: "Usually this would be horrific to my eyes and soul."

Bujuro: "Indeed little brother. But…"

Sanjin: "They're all Gods. I fucking hate these disgusting. Filthy. GODS!!!"

Within their search they hold an absolute grudge against those of God descent. Carnage is left behind as they close in on Le Destrucìon. Deaths revival draws closer!
