" What the hell's happening."
Mina was able to pull herself along the ground until she could sit herself up on a wall. She watched as something was thrown from the sky down into a building in front of her smashing through multiple floors.
" THUD"
Something else crashed in front of her kicking up a large amount of dust. As it cleared, she could see the purple leaking through the dust dimly, letting her know the thing standing in front of her was the Tolu that had brought about this destruction.
[" If that's the Tolu then.."]
She looked back to the building. She knew it had to be Cash who got thrown.
[" Of course you can't beat it...So know what, I sit here and wait for my death.]
She looked back to the Tolu expecting it to be looming over her like before, but to her surprise. It seemed to have no interest in her. It continued to look out of the building that Cash had been thrown threw.
" Ah!"
A bright flash blinded her like she had just glanced at the sun, only it was red, and it was raining with dark clouds covering the sky. The building Cash was in began to shake as loose parts of it fell to the floor.
The Tolu then changed its color again, back to a bright red. Mina's eyes widened as suddenly its skin began to crack revealing a bulkier build with thicker armor and spikes emerging from the said cracks in its forearms.
It then dashed towards the building leaving behind a red streak of light. Then a a thunderous crash followed by another bright flash in between the building and Mina.
As the light faded, she saw two figures standing, one with a sword that was pinned against the Tolus arm...As she looked harder, she became full of fear and terror. She saw two S.S. rank Tolus.
[ "What the hell...Where did this one come from? Is it using a sword, and...Wait, this one is different, really different!"]
Looking closer at the new S.S. Rank. She could see the armor on the outside seemed similar, not as thick as the other ones but definitely made out of the same material. The biggest difference was the look. Instead of pulsating it stayed a consistent red.
The other distinct difference was how tightly it was formed around the muscles, while the other Tolus were tightly outlined as well. It wasn't as defined as this. Around the outline of said muscles was a bright yellow that was present all around the body outlining every major muscle.
Also, on its face. There was a striking difference. This one had eyes, bright yellow glowing eyes, and no mouth was present but it was possible it could do the same as the other Tolu.
" What the hell is going on!?"
....................................................................
I'll kill you! I'll kill you!! I will kill you!!!
I pulled my sword black and struck down on its forearm multiple times slowly cutting through it. The rage within me has boiled over to the point that all I know is my anger.
This new strength I've been given has sparked my anger...I'm fighting out of anger...I just want to kill this thing by any means...No. I want to rip this thing apart!
I stuck my blade against its arm once more finally cutting all the way through. As it severed the Tolu jumped back and regrew it quickly, it then dashed back in for another strike with its left fist.
I took a strong step back. I felt my feet dig into the ground as I avoided the attack. Then counterd with a sword strike cutting up its right shoulder. It reared back in response, but it only chipped off a streek of armor.
It recovered quickly and attempted to land a punch with its right fist. I ducked it and followed up with a strike with my left right where its ribs would be. The same spot I struck earlier. I felt the thick armor crack and the Tolu was picked up off its feet.
I poured all of my strength into the strike and sent the Tolu rolling and bouncing off the ground to my right...I don't know how but my bare hands seem like a better option than my sword right now...This form I have taken has increased all my physical stats, but my blade has not had the same buff, its sharpness and durability are the same.
I looked to my back where the sheath should be. Luckily it seemed to still be on the outside of the armor. I slid my blade back into the sheet and cracked my knuckles preparing for hand-to-hand combat.
The Tolu rose to its feet and I could see I had dented the armor where my strike landed. It also wasn't healing this dent for whatever reason, or it was possible it could only heal clean wounds.
The Tolu showed a weakness, I can kill it! No, I will kill it...For Liza Xavier, and Kala... For all that had their lives cut short.
" I'll kill you!!"
I let out a scream, but all I heard was the Roar of a Tolu! Did it come from the S.S. rank...Know it sounded like it was right behind me...Whatever, it doesn't matter. I can only see one right now so that's all I have to worry about.
The Tolu awaited my attack, and I didn't plan on waiting any longer! I closed the gap and we both connected, I saw a yellow followed by a red light. In streaks that resembled lightning, the ground shook and cracked as we pushed against each other.
I charged a left and aimed it directly for the chest. The Tolu then pulled back its right using my momentum against me, it took a quick step back slipping my left, then throwing a knee that connected on my stomach.
This new armor suit helped dampen the impact allowing me to take the hit without to much trouble. Still, the force knocked me back a couple of feet. The Tolu waited no time and continued on the offense.
We engaged in more hand-to-hand as the Tolu used its wrist blades to chip my armor,..I felt my anger boil as I struggled to land a hit...Tolu aren't supposed to be smart, up until recently at least. Though even now they weren't particularly skilled in hand-to-hand combat.
This was fighting like a trained martial artist, using my momentum against me and parrying attacks, countering where my openings were, and forcing me into awkward situations.
The Tolu threw a head kick that I blocked, and it followed with two swift jab-like punches. I dodged the first and parried the second. During the parry, it threw a quick knee that nearly cracked me in the face.
I stepped back avoiding the strike, but catching me by surprise it lunged at my waist and wrapped it's arms around me like a wrestler, but there was a flaw, its left foot was too far extended causing it to slip. I used its weight against it and pushed it to the ground.
I went for a punch on the back of its head but it rolled over and smacked my strike away before rolling out of striking distance. Out of frustration I charged at it keeping the pressure on the best I could.
I threw a right that was parried followed by a kick that the tolu dashed away from. I continued pursuing when the Tolu charged up a punch. I reached its striking range and it threw the punch aiming for my chest.
The trajectory of the punch was crossing in front of the Tolus's body, allowing me if I timed it right to slip the punch off of my shoulder, if it didn't land clean then I should have an opening.
The punch connected on my shoulder, but last second I dropped it down a slight way causing the punch only to graze my shoulder. Now under its right arm, there was a wide open spot for a punch.
I put all of my frustration currently built up in my mind into one powerful punch, I unleashed it and as it grew closer to its target, that red glow surrounded it once more.
" BANG!!"
This time the impact sounded like a gunshot as the Tolu was launched away and bounced off the ground causing a massive dust cloud before smashing through an upper floor of a building.
