Chereads / The Withering Cold / Chapter 13 - 12) "The New Faith"

Chapter 13 - 12) "The New Faith"

With his Senzai Energy skyrocketing through the charts and a vicious grin of pure bloodlust, Sora stared down on the duo as he begins walking towards them.

Victor and Megumi look nervously at Sora as they prepare themselves for the incoming onslaught.

"Petrifying Water Art:

Water Barrier"

Megumi summons a barrier made out of water that would defend her from any hits that Sora would cause.

Sora grins as he lunges forward towards Megumi charging a white flame ball.

Megumi braces for the impact and as Sora's flame ball clashes with the Barrier, it causes smoke to emerge from the area of effect, the Senzai Molecules reacting against themselves violently. Suddenly, Sora starts pushing through the barrier as the Heavenly Abyssal Flames burns through any Senzai Matter and then suddenly the barrier pops and Sora loses some control over his position in mid air.

Megumi then punched Sora on his face using some Senzai Energy, which does actually push his head back, but Sora grinned as he slowly turned his head towards her and grabbed her arm.

"I hope you like some tempura, woman!", Sora snickers as he grabs her arm and burns it up.

"S-shit!", Megumi groans in pain as she moves backwards, trying to escape.

Sora rushes forward with another flame ball in his hand and Megumi defends her face by regenerating the lost arm using high speed water pressure in her arm to speed up regeneration of new cells.

Sora punches her away with immense force causing some burn marks on her forearms.

"Eh, that deals with one..", Sora says under his breath but he immediately senses something behind him.

Sora looks back and sees Victor charging up a large blast with electrical sparks flying everywhere.

"Try dodging this you pest!", Victor says furiously as a big blue ball of plasma and electricity erupts within his hands that seem extremely powerful, the sparks were getting more violent

Sora looks confident at the attack and he rushes forward and jumps towards Victor, Sora being in mid air.

"Eat shit!", Victor yells as he releases the attack

"Thunder Electrokinesis:

PLASMA THUNDER CANON"

With a loud thunder and high force, the wave beam like attack suddenly engulfed Sora, bursting through the entire lab ceiling. Victor kept pumping out the attack by giving it his all in order to get Sora knocked out.

The Plasma Thunder Canon burst through the ceiling of the basement lab and it started penetrating destructively vertically through one of the tall Skyscrapers of the PPA Headquarters.

The Plasma Canon punched through from the roof and went up in the sky exploding and leaving a relatively medium sized mushroom cloud in the air and leaving a massive circular hole in the building from the roof to the ground. It was a miracle the building was barely stable. There was smoke everywhere

Victor then flewed up through the lab ceiling hole and jumped atop the Skyscraper roof at Lightning Speed

"Haa... Haa... Haa....", Victor pants as he looks around to find an injured or maybe knocked out Sora in the midst of the smoke.

The Plasma Thunder Canon had left alot of plasma, ionized gas behind, which gave Victor some advantage, but he was already on his last reserves of Senzai.

Suddenly the smoke dissipates and Victor sees Sora. Sora had somehow survived the attack, but it seems he looked a bit tired as it took alot of Senzai to completely nullify and deatomize the Senzai from the Canon.

"Heh... You're actually amazing...", Victor remarks, looking a bit tired.

"Hmph...", Sora scoffs as he begins charging up a ball of flame within his palm.

"It's over...", Sora looks at Victor with dead pan expression and points his palm towards Victor, Victor just looked ahead with a smirk.

Suddenly, Sora heard something that gave him instant trauma.

"Stellarkinses Art:

Corona Blast"

A hot blast of a star's Corona hits Sora from the behind making him fall down the Building hole. The perpetrator? It was Star, and he seemed to be in a much more powerful armour. It was Jet Black coloured.

"I'm here for back up, Megumi...", Star says as he looks around. Star was floating mid air, using his thrusters and he looked towards Victor.

"Usually, I am unable to handle beings above my pay grade, however, it seems both of you have been weakened to a point where even a Super Senior Agent as I am a fair match...", Star says as he points a Corona Blast towards Victor.

"And you're still a villain... An evil pest in this world...", Star remarks as the Corona Blast begins charging up in his palm.

Victor looked even more terrified at what was about to happen but suddenly,

"You fucking, metal man!", Sora says as he had instantly flown back up and he prepared a another ball of hot flame in his palm and made contact at Star's Body.

"Heavenly Abyssal Flames:

Fireball Blast!"

"Oh c-", Star is interrupted as the fireball pushes Star all the way down the building hole

"KA-BOOM!"

Annd the ball explodes into a fire explosion the twice the size of the building.

"...", Victor now looks a bit uneased by what just happened but he looks at Sora who was currently in the previous path of the Plasma Canon.

Victor clenches his fist as a tiny spark of electricity, though very dangerously high in amperes shoots out and travels towards the ionized area where Sora was.

Suddenly Sora gets stopped by some sort of magnetic force in one place and he can't move.

"H-huh?!", Sora says as he tries looking around but his body won't budge.

"Heh... Stop resisting it.", Victor says as he flies towards Sora.

"The Plasma Canon intended to leave behind ionized air in the area of effect... What I just did now was use high amperes of current and make that ionized zone of free electrons and invisible electromagnet... You fell in my trap...", Victor says as he slowly approaches Sora with an evil smirk plastered over his face.

"Goodnight... Sora...", Victor says as he places his palm on Sora's head and sends a light shock, effectively paralyzing and knocking Sora out.

Victor holds Sora in his arms as he's about to fly away, Megumi and Star are standing right behind him on the building rooftop.

"Eh, fellas, why not let us handle it like friends?", Victor says with a smirk as he looks back at them.

"Quit with the smirk, surrender now.... We've already called for another Executive Agent to arrive and on top of that you are outnumbered and lost the Energy game.", Megumi says as she folds her arms .

"Stellarkinses:

Betelgeuse Gravity Inducement"

Star prepares points his palm towards Victor who gets pushed down on the ground and cannot move due to the effects of the massive gravity on top.

Victor smirks and snickers:

"That's what you think.."

Suddenly a glitch portal opens up below Victor and two more glitch portals open behind Megumi and Star.

"Unfortunately, the ones outnumbered are you...", a man in a top hat says in a more mundane and crazed manner but a very calm explanation as he approaches Megumi and places his hand on her shoulder.

He had a more skinny build and was shorter than Megumi, had a too pale white skin, curly blond hair and freckles all over his face, he wore a magician's attire.

"The Dark Clown:

Stop."

Megumi's body stops as she is unable to move her body or her mouth and is able to breath and move her eyes only.

"Oh? Heh... You're still strong after all that fighting... If I did that to a normal person their vitals would stop and they'd die a pitiful death... Hehe... How pathetic...", the man says as he holds Megumi's cheek with his left hand as if a mother was comforting her child, but a twisted way.

"Adrik... I didn't need help...", Victor scoffs as he sees Star being trapped in a cage.

"The Glitch is here too... This is embarrassing for a senior like me...", Victor stands up still holding Sora in his arms.

"Embarrassing? Heh. It isn't, Victory~ Afterall, I'm doing what a lower ranked Commander should do... Help my superiors...", Adrik says with a cocky face, probably demeaning Victor.

"I'll beat your fucking ass, Adrik.", Victor gets mad as thunder strikes down from the sky.

"Oh? Well you should. You're so weak, pathetic and feeble right now that if you get killed, I'll move up a rank... Lord Nakamura won't mind it. Even a bit... Heh~", Adrik laughs lightly in a psychopathic way.

Victor powers down and he sighs... He takes Sora's body and jumps in the Glitch Portal.

Adrik looks back at Megumi who as furious and Adrik touches her mouth, letting her speak.

"You damn bastard... I'll make sure to find you and kill you!", Megumi shouts in anger as Adrik just scoffs.

"Before that..."

"The Dark Clown:

Summon"

A horde of black centipedes get summoned nearby as they start crawling up to Megumi's immobile body

"H-huh!?", Megumi shrieks in terror as Adrik holds her face close and stares into her.

"I am Adrik Ivanov. The fifth commander of NFO and I am Humanity's worst self...", Adrik says with a deadpan expression and a twisted smile as he keeps ahold of Megumi's face and as the centipedes start crawling into her clothes.

"See ya", Victor laughs as he jumps in his glitch portal.

Megumi looks down at the centipedes crawling into every nook and cranny of her body and clothes. Megumi stands immobile and feeble, unable to do anything but feel pure terror as the centipedes reached her skin and crawl everywhere on her skin leaving bite marks.

The centipedes crawl up to her chest and up her neck to her face and Megumi starts getting terrified and disgusted and she just gives one last scream of pure terror as the centipedes encorach all over her body leaving bite marks or senselessly crawling all over her body.
