General Momota. Frank knew he had seen him before. He was a huge thing back in the day before the 2nd Daemon Incident. Most people thought he died.
Momota commanded several mercenaries under his wing. Kyler even stated that he met him once. The guy was known to be cruel, using all means necessary to complete a given task, no matter the people he had to sacrifice on the way.
So to see him right in front of them was enough to send shivers down their spines.
Leti and Shino attacked the others while Jake and Frank went for Momota. He man only smiled as the blades in Jake's hands merely gave him paper cuts over his body. As for Frank, the brass knuckles hurt him more than it hurt Momota. The man swatted Jake away, catching Frank and slamming him on the ground. He tried to stomp on him only for a shield to come between them. He turned to Pop with a smile, walking towards him.
Shino threw a halo at one attacker. The man dodged and charged forward, his cybernetic arm transforming into a sword. The young inquisitor dodged the blade, swinging his halo at the man. He got a hit in, slashing the man across the face. He staggered backwards, but there was no breathing room as another assailant jumped from behind and slammed a large hammer down on Shino. Shino grit his teeth as the pain coursed through his body, the weight bringing him down one knee. The girl raised her hammer again and slammed him from the side. Shiro managed to black it with his arm but was still sent flying.
Leti was facing no different as two were on her. The first one wielded a long naginata and she wielded it like a champ, spining and lunging the long blade and making it hard for Leti to avoid. The other assailant was a gunner, effortlessly aiming at Leti. If it wasn't for Pop's shield's she'd be a goner. And even he wasn't going to last.
Pop shuddered each time Momota slammed his fists unto the barrier. He was constantly reinforcing barriers, making sure that they were ready for any fatal attacks. He could feel his energy being drained rapidly. Distress signals had already been sent out but as to whether the others weren't being attacked was beyond his knowledge.
Jake jumped from behind Momota, stabbing him in the back. Frank rushed from the side, pushing him towards the stairs, throwing Jake off in the process. He began to punch Momota over and over again until the man became bored, grabbing Frank by the neck and squeezing tight. Frank struggled for air, trying as much as possible to pry Momota's hand off.
"Heard you couldn't die." Momota said, "Lucky you. Wish I couldn't." He broke Frank's neck,letting him fall to the ground as he turned to Jake, whose hands were already raised. Without warning, Momota was already in front of Jake, grabbing his face and hitting him against the wall. Jake landed on the grass on the other side, falling unconscious. Frank stood up and rushed at him, but Momota was quicker. He punched Frank in the face, but not before Frank punched him in the chin, knocking the shades of his face. Momota took a step back, taking another pair from his pocket. After fixing it on his face, he clasped his hands together.
Aura began to emanate from his body as he grew a little in size, the muscles on his body becoming tighter and larger. The punch he landed on Frank sent him out of the building, the force being felt by everyone present. He turned to Pop and punched his barrier twice, making a hole in it. Grabbing Pop, he threw him across the room. Letting him slide across the floor. Pop quickly got up, just in time to shield both Leti and Shiroo from fatal attacks, at the expense of himself as Momota landed beside him, performing a suplex on him. Pop couldn't get up, or rather did not want to. His entire body ached.
The doors suddenly opened, revealing a single inquisitor. Her red hair and iconic black biker outfit sent a sigh of relief in Pop, for the first time in his life.
"Hey friends!" She said with a smile, "Mind if I join in the show?"
The boy behind the woman went down on one knee, spreading out a barrier. Instantly, everything caught in it, that is Kyler, the woman and him all turned monochrome. Kyler struck first, slashing at the woman's face. The woman dodged, attacking with a cross slash, with which Kyler dodged. She then took off one glove, showing the white stain on her black glove before tossing it to him. Kyler grinned.
"Perfect strategy, I'll give you that." Kyler said. "A monochrome barrier only allowing me to use two colors. But as yo said, I can do more than just stains."
"To do the others, you need it to be something stronger. But you can't risk tha…"
Kyler through his dagger at her. Before it could reach her, Kyler had already caught it, driving it into her face with great force. The woman blocked it with one sword, forcing him back with a swing. She spat on the ground, smiling at him.
"Really?"
"What can I say? I love strawberries." Kyler said. He rushed in again, going for the kill. Just as he reached him, he jumped over the girl, landing on her side. Picking up the sewer lid, he threw it at her. She slashed it into two, blocking Kyler's strike at the same time. The two went back and clashed again, this time entering a frenzy, with Kyler on the defense this time as he managed to block almost every strike while the woman attacked, at the same time blocking the occasional pierce strike made by Kyler
The two jumped back again and this time, the woman removed her white long sleeves, throwing it at Kyler. From the blocked view created by the shirt, Kyler emerged from the right while the girl emerged from the left, both clashing with each other.
"For a second, a thought you'd be wearing nothing under."
"Oh please," She said with a smile, "I only did it cause of the kid."
The two jumped backwards again, this time, Kyler reached for the half broken lid. He threw it at the boy but the girl blocked it. Rushing in she spread out her swords, letting them scratch against the ground. She raised them up in the air, the sparks blinding Kyler momentarily. Just as she was about to lunge in, Kyler blocked it with the second lid. The blade, though, still pierced through Kyler's arm. Kyler headbutted her and landed another kick on her before taking a step back, pulling the blade out of his hand.
The woman dropped the blade as well, seeing its colour had changed to pure white. She removed a small blade from her back pocket. Kyler transferred his dagger to his other working arm. The two stood still, eaching moving slowly towards each other.
Honestly, the boy, Nathan, couldn't believe his eyes. On one hand he always beileved that sheer power was always best. But these two people had shown him that it was just a eyesore for them. The man, Kyler was using every opportunity to his advantage, not wasting one while Tanya flipped them like it was nothing.
Without warning, Tanya appeared in front of him, ripping a part of his uniform off. He couldn't say a word, or was to shocked to as Kyler appeared from behind, ready to impale him in the neck. The woman kicked the dagger out of his hand, throwing the more smaller knives at him Kyler caught all three as the barrier began to tear apart.
"NATHAN!" She cried, rushing at Kyler. Immediately, a foul smell, like the scent of rotting flesh filled the air. The taste of mould was on their tongue and the feel of something mouldy was on the skin. Nathan threw up, trying to also removing whatever invisible thing was on his skin, while Tanya stood her ground. The barrier tore apart.
"You should be at your limit." Tanya said.
"I am." Kyler replied, his left eye glowing red. "Just one thing though."
"What."
"Your gloves really yellow you know."
Tanya instantly turned to remove the glove only for a slash across the chest to appear out of nowhere. She dropped to her knees, her eyes widened. Kyler walked past her, going to the boy, who shook with fear.
"Better find a way to heal your friend. She's going to lose a lot of blood."
Nathan instantly obeyed, running towards Tanya. Kyler walked about to the pillar of blue flame and sat down. Waiting.
