Chapter 22:

The legendary swordman

Cartoon kid: Reign of the V.L


Training Chamber 5

Theo and Kira were sparring. Theo threw a series of punches and kicks, but Kira blocked them all with ease.

Kira: Still can't land a decent hit— (Theo faked a kick, catching her off guard, and punched her to the ground.)

Kira: You actually landed a hit. Looks like Hakim's training is paying off. (She rushed forward and attempted a spin kick, but Theo caught her leg and hurled her away. She landed perfectly on her feet.)

Kira: Okay, so—

Guardian (telepathically): There's been a break-in at the salt factory.

Kira: Hear that, kid? Go deal with it.

Guardian: This isn't just normal criminals. Someone with the V.S. insignia was spotted there.

Kira: Then we all go.

Salt Factory

???: Faster! We need 2,000 bags of this! (A man in a green cloak barked orders at henchmen.)

Molecular Girl: That's the Legendary Swordman — second most powerful C.O. holder in V.S. His ability is conjuring jade blades.

Legendary Swordman: Looks like we've got party crashers. Henchmen, keep gathering the salt. I'll handle these so-called heroes.

Cartoon Kid: We'll see about that! (He charged and tried to kick, but Swordman caught his leg, slammed him into the ground, and flung him back.)

Legendary Swordman: Sword Summons Type I — Long Sword! (A green portal opened. He pulled out a jade longsword and swung, blasting the three heroes through the wall. He leapt down after them.)

Legendary Swordman: Take this! (He struck the ground, cracking it. Kira rolled left, Decibolt and Theo rolled right. He turned on Kira, swinging repeatedly — she dodged.)

Molecular Girl: Kinetic Punch! (He deflected it with his sword. She punched the ground, sending rocks into the air, then used molecular kinesis to hurl them at him.)

Legendary Swordman: Sword Summons Type II — Single Sword! (The longsword vanished, and he pulled out a jade single sword from a green portal. He sliced every rock into pieces.)

Legendary Swordman: This is the end. (He kicked her down and raised his blade to strike — but a lightning bolt hit him. Zaps stood nearby, sparks in his hands.)

Legendary Swordman: Why you little brat— (He slashed, Zaps dodged, then dove and punched the ground, unleashing an electric wave that knocked Swordman down.)

Decibolt: Triple Sonic Wave! (He struck, slamming Swordman deeper into the floor.)

Decibolt: You said he was strong? Look at him—

Legendary Swordman: Things aren't always as they seem. (His blade glowed. He unleashed a laser slash, blasting Zaps and Decibolt away.)

Legendary Swordman: Sword Summons Type III — Dual Wielding! (He pulled out two jade blades. He dove at Kira.)

Legendary Swordman: Your earlier analysis was wrong. I'm not second-most powerful... I'm the greatest C.O. holder this world has ever seen! (He unleashed rapid slashes, forcing her back. Then he leapt behind her, using a laser slash to knock her into Zaps.)

Legendary Swordman: Jade Star Blast! (Five laser blasts merged into one.)

Molecular Girl & Decibolt: Molecular–Deci Shield! (They blocked it.)

Zaps: Electro Zaps attack II: Electro Light Bomb! (Swordman cut it in half; it exploded behind him.)

Legendary Swordman: My turn. (He slashed Zaps repeatedly and kicked him down.)

Molecular Girl: Molecular Fusion! (She fused his legs to the ground.)

Decibolt: Sonic Storm!

Legendary Swordman: Fool. A swordsman's greatest weapon is the blade in his hands. (He deflected every disc, then hurled both blades at Kira from opposite sides. She leapt back; the blades exploded.)

Legendary Swordman: Sword Summons Type IV — Dual-Edge Sword! (Decibolt rushed in, but Swordman blocked with one blade, spun, and slashed him down.)

Zaps: Electro Bullet! (He absorbed electricity from nearby electronics and fired, but Swordman spun his blade into a shield, blocked it, and struck multiple times before kicking him away.)

Legendary Swordman: Dual Jade Strike!

Molecular Girl: Kinetic Punch! (As she punched the ground and rocks flew up and she fused them into a wall the wall and the two strikes were destroyed on impact.)

Legendary Swordman: Sword Summons Type V — Chained Sword! (As he pulled out a jade sword attacked to an emerald chain, he swung the sword, and the chain extended and struck the ground close to them creating an explosion sending them to the wall while the chain retracted.) Decibolt: Enough! Sonic Step! (He kicked Swordman into the air — but the chain wrapped around him. Swordman yanked him up, blasted him, and landed.)

Legendary Swordman: Sword Summons Type VI — Jade Dagger.

Cartoon Kid: What are you going to do with that tiny thing?

Legendary Swordman: Why tell you when I can show you? (He threw it — it glowed, multiplied into dozens, striking all of them before returning to his hand.)

Molecular Girl: I'm tired of you pushing us around. (Her aura flared.)

Molecular Girl: Gravitational Kinesis Attack I — Gravity Enhance! (Swordman began to float.)

Molecular Girl: Full Body Repulsion! (She blasted him, but he landed on his feet.)

Legendary Swordman: You wanna play like that? Fine. Six Blade Summon! (Six jade swords floated from portals, spinning above him.)

Legendary Swordman: Jade Blade Cannon! (Six blasts merged into one massive beam.)

Molecular Girl & Decibolt: Molecular–Deci Shield! (They were pushed back.)

Cartoon Kid: Activate power of a chosen one! (He transformed into Zaps.)

Cartoon Kid: Electro Spear! (Swordman jumped, intensified the blast, broke the shield, and slammed them into the ground.)

Cartoon Kid: I'll show you who the real swordsman is! (He electrified his sword and attacked, but Swordman dodged every swing, then kicked him down.)

Legendary Swordman: You're finished— (Mystic Kid smashed him in the gut with a metal hammer.)

Cartoon Kid: You thought I only transformed into Zaps? I summoned Bulbe and Mystic too!

Legendary Swordman: Your summons won't save you.

Molecular Girl: Good thing we're not planning on losing. Kinetic Punch Barrage! (She drove him back. Decibolt followed with a Sonic Pulse Blast, launching him upward, then smashed him with a Deci Cannon to the ground.)

Cartoon Kid, Mystic Kid & Bulbe: Triple Mega Volt Cannon! (The blast knocked him out.)

Cartoon Kid: Where's his C.O.? (Radiax appeared, blasted them, stole the C.O., and killed Swordman.)

Cartoon Kid: That was the last C.O. What do you think he'll do with all of them?

Molecular Girl: Probably recruit new holders.

Cartoon Kid: Whoever they are, whatever their powers — they won't stand a chance against us.

V.S. HQ

Radiax: The Legendary Swordman has fallen.

V.L.: He served his purpose. I have all the sodium chloride I need. Now I just need a way to lure the Crystal Force here.

Earth goblin: Use their greatest weakness — their loved ones.

Radiax: We don't know their identities, genius.

Flame goblin: Correction — we don't know all their identities. But we know the chosen ones. He got his C.O. right in front of us.

Wind goblin: So we kidnap his mother... and leave a message.

V.L.: Perfect. I've missed your diabolical schemes.

Flame goblin: We live to serve.

V.L.: Take notes, Radiax. Now that's a good villain plot — not going undercover at a cell site. What a stupid idea. (Radiax groans.)

V.L.: Flame goblin, you and Radiax — kidnap the boy's mom. Sky and Earth goblin — check on Sand Tomb's progress. Victory is near.
