"The Nether," Lucy said, grinding her teeth.
"Hey Loosy," John called her, "Scared? (She rolls her eyes) come rest on my manly, superhuman abs."
"Yuck," Lucy whispered.
"Pay attention!" Tetsu yelled from his mecha suit.
John smiled and then chuckled. He looked at the beast and placed his hands next to his face in a fighting stance.
He jumped at the large beast and punched its face, the beast fell, its head hanging down the bow of the ship.
John looked back and smirked at Tetsu and Lucy.
"Show off," said Lucy.
John turned, and bam, the monster kicked him, and he was smashed into the ship downward.
The monster slowly stood up and growled.
"Do you need help guys?" James asked.
"No," Lucy replied.
"Just don't destroy my ship," James cautioned, "Setsu and Pitsu will help anytime."
Lucy stood upright and spun her sword.
"Tetsu, get 'it'," Lucy said to Tetsu.
Tetsu ran to the cabin while smiling.
Roaaaaar,
She squatted and ran towards the monster, as she got to it, she jumped on the hand and ran on it while slashing it. Flies began pouring out of the body.
Flies? You think I'm that kind of girl, Lucy thought.
She pressed forward, cutting the flies up with her superhuman speed. She jumped off the hand and slashed the face. White blood began spewing out of the face. The monster threw its right arm at her while crying in pain.
It grabbed her in its palm.
It crushed the palm in hopes that she would die. It brought the palm to its face to see if she was dead.
"Think you'll find her," Lucy said, from its shoulder.
The monster nodded and opened the palm, but she was gone.
Lucy pierced the neck of the monster fiercely and twisted her sword too shallow, She thought.
She pulled it out and jumped down, using her sword to ride along its body while slashing it, white blood stained her clothes and face, and she jumped off with a backflip at the waist of the creature. Clenching her fist, she jumped up to the face and punched it with a punch so fast that it sent the monster flying, as it landed on the bow of the ship, the ship bent off its course.
"Be careful Lucy," James yelled, "It's already hard to steer a ship around while this thing is on it."
Thank goodness, we're already away from the box, James thought, "Pitsu, Setsu, shoot it!"
They were both holding bows with glowing arrows on them.
"Aye Aye captain," They both said.
They pointed the arrow up and shot towards the box floating behind the ship.
As the monster saw them, it yelled and took one of the skulls floating around its head and threw it at the twins.
"Look out you two!" James yelled.
Lucy tripped and fell.
Look out Lucy, stop, please princess don't go, save us, it's here, aaargh, princess help us, help us, please, don't leave us here.
For a moment, those thoughts zapped her, her entire existence, soul, spirit, mind and body ceased to move.
"Lucy, Lucy!" A voice called her.
She woke up from her vivid dream and screamed.
"Lucy's out!" Pitsu shouted to James.
Immediately, John woke up and jumped up and punched the monster from its jaw, his shirt torn halfway, revealing his chest.
"The MC is back," John yelled.
He landed on the ground graciously.
"Foolish to think bigger is better," John said.
The monster then chuckled, "You are right." It said.
"You talk?!" John yelled. The monster shrunk to human size and transformed into a handsome young man with white hair and beautiful black eyes. Skulls still floating around his head.
"This feels better," He said, "You can call me WTPC-709."
"What's that supposed to mean?" John said, "Wira The Plague Clone 709."
"Yes, actually," 709 said.
"Hehe," John laughed
709 continued, "I am a clone, made out of magic."
"Wonderful," John said.
"Why are you cheerful when you will soon meet your demise?" Asked 709.
"Cause you're only 10% of the real thing, yes," John said, "This is gonna be easy."
***
Dang it, they get to get all the action while I'm steering the ship
"Hey," Tetsu said, resting on the stairs to the helm.
"What is it," James said.
"You know how to defeat the monster," Tetsu said, "After all, you're also from the Nether."
James looked forward and became serious, "You haven't told anyone have you?" James asked.
"Nah, you haven't told on me right?" Tetsu asked.
"No," James replied.
"So how do we beat it mage," Tetsu asked.
"We have to blow up that box." James replied pointing to the box all the monsters came from, "Destroy that, and the clone will cease to exist."
"Thanks," Tetsu said, taking on goggles.
***
James punched 709 directly to his face. He was blasted to the front of the ship. He stood back up and stared at John from within the smoke.
'Dang it, he's too strong,' Thought John, 'I have to find a way to.."
Snap
'What?' John thought, 'That was his neck."
Through the fog, John saw 709, his neck turned all the way around and someone standing right at his back, as the fog slowly cleared, John tried to be on his guard to protect himself from this seemingly new ally or foe. The body fell to the ground and the mysterious person came out.
As the person stepped out, he was shocked to realise that it was none other than...
"Lucy?!" He yelled.
"Yeah duh," she replied.
He looked back at Pitsu and Setsu who were supposed to be taking care of her, and they both shrugged.
"I am so glad you're on our side," John said, "Because being caught unaware like that on its own can kill."
"I like to do my things fast," Lucy said.
"I know," John said.
Then the body rose behind her.
"Lucy, look out!" John yelled.
But it was too late, he had already run a knife through her back.
She fell to the ground and began coughing.
His neck turned back to the correct shape and he cracked it.
"That hurt," 709 said.
He stepped on Lucy and pulled the knife out.
Tch
John clenched his fist and put a step forward, "Where the heck did you get a freakin' knife?!"
"How is that important I stabbed your friend," 709 asked.
"Dude! Run!" John yelled.
"Can't you see I can't die," 709 shouted.
"No, bro, that's even worse, Lucy's gonna make you wish 708 came here instead she's gonna give you pain," John said.
"Oh yeah," 709 said, "She's stabbed, how's she supposed to...(He looks at her and sees her wound closing) Oh no."
