Song: A Stranger I Remain - Extended Eurobeat Remix
The Dragon tries to bite is with its left most heads and we use the sting viper wires to doge right out of the way. Blood Stalk Grabed the cobra bottle and put it into the gun.
We fire at the dragon and it tried to move its head out of the way. but the bullets curved into the side of the head. Blood Stalk took out one of the drum sticks and hit 's another face with a fire ball. The stick gets destroyed and smoke blocks our line of sight on that head.
"Charging." The gun said as the first head moved back to the main body.
It then tried to use its right head moved back ready to slam down.
We back up to avoid getting hit, the ground shook with the impact.
That messed with out footing a little and we stumble backwards, hitting a wall just next to the cave.
The two heads that attack us then blocked the sides of us leaving only the
The middle head then charged at us like the first head did. With our back literally against the wall, we didn't have any options to doge and I braced for the impact. But Blood Stalk did something unexpected.
They throw the guitar ax like a spear into the middle heads skull. The hit made the dragon stumble backwards in confusion.
Seeing the opportunity before us, we ran at the creature with the guitar sticking out and grab on to it. "Full Charge, Finisher" The gun said as the dragon thrashed around and we hold on as I ready my gun with the cobra bottle already in it.
"Steam Break! Cobra!" It said and I pull the trigger. A purple energy blasted into the back of the Dragons neck. Combined with the guitar ax making a hole for the blast to enter caused the head to light up in a purple and blue glow. The head exploded with blood spraying all over the cave entrance.
Both of the other heads tried to retaliate, but we jump off before they could bite us.
"Nice, one down, two to go." I said with confidence.
"No..." Blood Stalk replied which confused me.
"No? What do yo-." I started to ask until its head started to grow back from the stump.
"Oh, no." I said realizing that the dragon can regenerate like the octopus crabs we fought.
The head which we used a finishing attack on grew back in a matter of seconds.
"Ok new plan, Take all the heads out at once. Then go for the main body." I said since it can't regenerate forever so consistent damage should take it out.
"Okay..." Blood Stalk replied back gripping the guitar in a more sword like way.
We were away from the cave entrance and now in the open field in front where the dragon was originally.
It was now in the position we were in with its back against the wall.
The dragon began to flap its wings and started to hover a bit. The wind created from the giant's moments pushed us backwards and I try to a little to fight back
It managed to gain flight while we were unable to stop it and swooped down to hit us.
The dragon then used its wing to slam into us and in the moment it hit us, we stabbed onto one of the wings with the sting wires, trying to stop it from flying and keep it grounded. Unfortunately it regenerated from the stapes and now our wires are stunk in its wing.
I tried shooting at it again with the bullets curving directly into the eyes of the right most head. The cobra bottle then started to loose its color so now it is just shooting regular bullets.
The Dragon tried to get us off its wing by flying higher and higher into the sky whilst making erratic movements. It kept going until we were in the clouds.
.
It was calm for a second then the dragon turned to look at us, it seemed to gather energy around its middle head and fired a bolt of lightning. Instinctively, Blood Stalk dogged it by kicking off the dragons body.
The bolt disappeared into the clouds and the other two head charged and fired their own lighting bolts at us. They managed to nearly hit us as we moved out of the way again.
the middle head charged its lightning in its mouth to fire again but this time Blood Stalk chuck the guitar like an ax, but this time into the monsters mouth just as it was about to fire. This caused the head to explode once more and split the hole neck down the middle. The guitar flies back to us ad we barley manage to grab it.
"How did we get into this situation?" I asked and had a reminisce about the events that lead us up to this moment. All the bad and good things that has happened to us along the journey. I realize I kind of regret not getting to know Blood Stalk more over the time we spent together. If we make it through this, I want to do something for them as thanks for everything. Though there response would probably be 'I see...'. I can imagine it already.
"Enough thinking, its time for action." I said with renewed energy and motivation to take this dragon down. Which is easier said than do as it started to go ballistic with its movements. It first started moving directly upward until it stalled and began to fall out of the clouds. We were above the city which was in a perfect circle with a missive wall surrounding it.
.
The dragon also did moves like an aileron roll and a barrel roll one after the other, these constant movement is disorientating me a little but we managed to hold on still. During one of the turns we swung with the wires to deliver a drop kick going upwards, it hit the jaw of the left most head. It caused the neck to go all the way back, which I assumed broke it.
This caused us to start and fall and I see that we are now only a few feet from the cities wall. The guards standing their looked shocked at us falling so close to them. The dragon then smashed into the top of the wall dragging us along with it. The impact caused rocks to fly everywhere and hit some of the guards that everywhere on top of it.
It then did a loopty loop, causing just our body to get hit this time.
"Wall..." Blood Stalk said as the wall was directly at our face. We slammed into it with full force. Our face plate cracked at the impact. A massive crack appeared on our visor, so are vision is impaired.
After being pulled through to the other side of the wall I can barely see the city we were trying to get to trough the big crack in the face but manage to make out the place a little. It looks like an old timey place with carts being pulled with horses that are going crazy from all the noise. People looking at us with confusion and fear.
Just when I took a imaginary breath to take it all in the dragon starts to fly faster downward. It then turned to the tops of the houses and hit one of them whilst pulling us to do the same.
Our body was dragged along the roof tops of many building, parts of them flying off in different directions to the ground below.
The wires finally gave way and let go of the wing of the dragon causing us to fall as well. The dragon started to fly away to the center of the city.
Just before we hit the ground, Blood Stalk swapped the Cobra bottle with the Rocket bottle and I fired a rocket and grabed onto it with the wires. The whiplash from the changing momentum caused me a little headache, but it was only for a moment.
"You are not getting away from us scot free after what you just did." I said in anger at being thrown around like a toy.
Getting back within range of the dragon I see that it has regenerated a lot of the damage we did to it. We slam the rocket into the dragon causing an explosion, the dragon tried to use its tail to retaliate but we avoid it with more rocket maneuvers.
"Charging." The said as Blood Stalk then reached behind us and grabed the Steam blade and slice the dragons back a little before we stab into the back of the creature's spine. Blood Stalk then took out only the grip, leaving the blade still in the dragon.
"My turn." I said as I punched with the gun directly into the blade which then combined.
"Rifle Mode!" The gun said and Blood Stalk put the grip on the back turning it into a stalk, they then turned the valve once and a sound played.
"Ice Steam!" The sound effect said as we pull the trigger on the blade freezing the back and having ice start to appear on it.
"Not enough juice? Then lets kick it up." I said as the gun started to make a sound.
"Full Charge!" It said and I fire again.
"Steam Attack! Rocket!" It said as we pulled the rifle out of the creatures back. The entire lower half of the monster exploded and froze, it reveled a giant purple crystal in the upper torso of the creature as it started regenerating slower than it did before.
We fired again to create three more rockets, which cause the bottle to lose its color leaving just these rockets behind for us to control and fly with.
We grab two of them with the sting wires and we stand on top of the last one, controlling it with our feet.
The ice already wore off and the lower half has regenerated and we are starting to approach what looks like a sky scraper, the only one in this city as far as I could see. It was like a giant rock cylinder with glass and a staircase full of people looking in terror.
To prevent the dragon from hitting them we move in front of the beast and make it follow us upwards.
"Follow us you limp-winged worm!" I yelled to get its attention and it seemed to work as it tried to bit us as we went past it.
.
"Octopus" We switch the rocket bottle to the octopus one as we ascend and avoid the dragon shooting lightning at us. I shot some ink clouds and the took some of the lighting hits. We then kicked the rocket under our feet into one of the dragons faces and froze it. That didn't destroy the head like the other times, but did case it to stop its lightning attacks from continuing for the moment.
The rockets we had start to loose their propulsion, so we launched the other two rockets we had at the other two heads which froze over a little then break immediately. The heads started to regenerate again, but the flesh was more distorted than before and didn't create proper heads. Leaving only one normal one.
.
We crash into the top of the skyscraper and continue the fight in the 'for now' sunny sky. We could see the entire city from up here in all directions.
"Nice change of scenery, but lets make it a bit more moody. Shall we?" I said and Blood Stalk figures out what I mean.
"Eleck Steam!" The blade said as we shoot a black ink cloud into the sky and then fired a bolt of electricity into it causing the same storm to happen.
"Now to buy us some time." "Camera!" I said as we change the bottle again, this time to camera. The dragon circled the building to try and get a foot hold but we shot at it with a blue orb that hit the foot of the creature which caused it to break off. Our chest started to glow a blueish light.
.
The dragon fires a bolt of lightning at us and we narrowly doge out of the way and let the bolt hit the ink cloud. This made the color change and now made it ready for the final part of the plan.
We were running around the top of the tower dodging lighting bolts and swipes , Red sparks particles were left in our wake as we moved.
It continued another barrage and we shoot the ones we could not avoid and turn them into 2D images trapped in frames. Blood Stalk using the guitar like a gulf club hits one of the frames back at the monster and it explodes.
"Charging." The gun said as we continue this dance on top of the sky scraper, dodging and weaving attack after attack.
"Full Charge." It said and I ready the final set up.
"Cobra Projection!" I shouted as a snake erupts from our chest and raps around the dragon causing it to stay still for a moment.
.
"Steam Attack! Camera!" The voice played and a blue light exited the gun and hit the monster causing it to become a 2D image in a frame. It would not last long as the creature was trying to break free of the confinement.
We then change bottle one more time to the last bottle we have that has energy in it right now.
I then take out the camera we had and struck a pose. Blood Stalk fixed the guitar and had it in the shot as well.
"Smile." I said taking a picture with the smart brain camera of the dragon suspended and us in the image. We were making a rock & roll rift on the guitar as we prepare to finish this thing off.
"Octopus! Charging." The sound effect said as we wait for the multiple ink clouds to envelop us. Lightning striking all around us, the black water like fluid and gas now took the shape of eight tentacles which started to spin in a circle around us. Both our left and right hands were gripping the gun pointing at the dragon which was still trapped in the picture frame.
"Are You Ready!" I yelled at the top of my lungs and Blood Stalk nodded as we pulled the trigger together with both hands.
"Full Charge." "Octopus! Steam Finnish!" The sounds played as we launched the sting wires to pull us in and kick the dragon down from the top of the skyscraper. The picture frame shattering and we start to drill through its insides as we descend from the building at incredible speed. Lightning coming off of us in a rainbow of colors.
We crash into the stair case ground with the dragon exploding behind us. The explosion was mostly orange with read and purple mixed in. The remains fall behind us and I look at the photo feeling good about what we accomplished.
The body rolls and hits the back of our legs making us fall down and I turned and don't see any black smoke which worries me a little.
We sit on the belly of the dragon with red blood and blue flesh spraying over us as I think.
" I don't think its dead yet." I said and with the guitar ax in our left hand, Blood Stalk was stabbing into the dragons stomach repeatedly to make sure its dead. I guess some of them don't make smoke when they die.
"I think that's enough." I said as we relaxed for a second the last head tried and sneak attack us, But I shot it between the eyes without moving our own head. The recoil of the shot made our hand move up as the smoke from the barrel flows in the wind.
I see black smoke coming off it's face and mouth so I know it is over for real. I sigh in relief that we finished this monster off once and for all.
.
I look over the the left of us and see someone standing there staring at us along with a bunch of other people in the distance.
I couldn't really describe his clothes or hair since he was covered in red paint or maybe blood. I hope we didn't get it on him if it was from the dragon. He seemed to be around the same age as me. The thing that made me notice him the most however, was his eyes that were bright red staring in wonder.
We were just staring at each other until I decided to say something. I put my thumb on the side of our helmet with only our ring finger holding the gun as I said the words.
"Yo."
