Chapter 16: The War Of Fighters & Monsters Rages On!

Project: INFERNO


(They all cheered and all separated went towards the monsters to battle them head on. Then explosions would begin being heard and seen from most parts of the city.)
"Golden Clover: St Patrick's Armor!"
(Monsters growled and rushed towards him.)
"I must warn you monsters.. I'm a little bit good with lasers."
(He'd run towards a swarm of monsters and both two blades and the center of his chest was glowing its original rainbow color then began slashing and blasting them away.)
"Alright!"
(A girl began to watch from the top of a building then pounce down on Golden Clover but he'd dodge the attack.)

"Who are you..? A villain..?"
"Hellcat: You could say that, my name's Hellcat. One of The Order Of Encursed Element's executives."
"Golden Clover: Of course, one of the negative ten stars."
"Hellcat: Guilty as charged."
"Golden Clover: According to your file, you've attacked Hakodate countless times and defeated a couple nine star ranked fighters and you're incredibly agile and you have the exact nine lives just like a cat."
"Hellcat: Oh? And what's it to you Golden Clover?"
"Golden Clover(Thinking): Also according to that file, she took on a twelve star and won.. If she's that strong this could be trouble for me. (Aloud): If you're wondering what's it to me, just know I'm not gonna hold back! I'm a twelve star fighter!"
"Hellcat: Then I'LL JUST TEAR YOU TO SHREDS!"
(She'd quickly vanish then appear behind him as she tries to claw his armor apart then he'd quickly move out the way.)
"Golden Clover: That was close.. Those claws can cut through almost anything.."
"Hellcat: You're good with dodging, but can you COUNTER?"
(She'd slash at him from the buildings blind spots and lands a hit on his left shoulder armor.)
"Golden Clover(Thinking): She's too fast, I can't beat her..! I wonder how the others are doing.."

(Ash runs into an Ice Elemental.)
"Ash: So you're the famous Ice Elemental, Freeze."
"Freeze: Indeed I am, you must be that High Commission water elemental, Ash is that correct?"
"Ash: Yes, it has been a while cousin."
"Freeze: I have to agree with you there. But if things were different we would take down Saikan Academy together, why not join us again?"
"Ash: I appreciate the offer but I refuse."
"Freeze: That's unfortunate, then I'm afraid I have to kill you."
(Freeze and Ash would stand in their normal stances.)
"Ash: I'm ashamed dear cousin. But I won't be the one dying."
(Konnor gets punched afar but blocked it with his bow.)
"Konnor: Damn.. and I thought Bloodhound and Widow Butcher was stronger.."
"Hanzel: Bloodhound and Widow Butcher are my two little siblings. You're the only person I wanted to kill and now that you've messed with my little ones. I'll be the one putting you out of your misery."
"Konnor(Thinking): Hanzel Grimm.. Also known as the bare-handed killer. They say he's powerful enough to demolish a row of buildings with a single punch... Many fighters fell to him. Well, I'm not gonna be on that list..!"
(Konnor casts his bow and arrow stood still as he's ready to fight. Just then, Akari screams as she was then whipped into a building and slowly recovers after getting back on her feet.)

"???: You obviously don't think a little whiny kid like you could beat me, I have far more combat experience then you."
"Akari(Thinking): Vexx, a dangerous villain across the negative stars.. Why did I get matched with an negative eleven star monster..? That whip he carries can transform into any weapon he thinks of... this is trouble for me."
"Vexx: Heh.. stay on your feet and lets keep going!"
"Akari: You're pretty excited to fight me, I guess I have no choice!"
(She remains focused on him and began to concentrate deeply.)
"(Thinking): If I can focus, I can.."
(A bright light shines down on Akari which causes her to be given her true element.)
"(Aloud): Its been awhile since I've used this. This is my element... Queen Of The Skies, Weather!"
(Akari appears with markings across her body that represents the skies."
"Vexx: A WEATHER ELEMENTAL..?! HA.. THIS IS SO WORTH IT!!"
(He'd charge towards her with wormhole after wormhole after so the weather around them would turn from cloudy to freezing cold.)
"Akari: Ice Bullets, Hailstorm Blitz!"
(An infinite round of hail is blasted at Vexx as he continues going through the wormhole he places.)
"Nice try!"
(She'd aim the hail into every wormhole until Vexx jumps out and lands a successful hit on Akari which kicked her into a street post and the hail died out as the weather remained the same.)

"Vexx: "Nice try?" Tch, some ten star fighter you are."
(He'd grab her by the neck and his hand began creating a wormhole.)
"Any final words so I can end this early?"
"Akari: Heh.. just two... TORNADO WIND!"
(The area around them explodes with a powerful amount of wind to pull Vexx away from Akari as she bought herself enough time to recover then Vexx falls into another wormhole and lands on his knees.)
"Vexx: Bastard... "
"Akari: Now we fight for real."
(She takes off her necklace as more markings was showing on her neck.)
"Now I'll show you the power of my trump card..! Trump Card, Heavenly Arcane!"
(A hole was created in the sky as several angels flew down and lifted Akari high as several clouds merges with her then a few other fighters witnessed Akari's Trump Card.)
"Vexx: AW YEAH! NOW THINGS ARE FINALLY PICKING UP!"
(He would inhale deeply and scream to the top of his lungs.)
"TRUMP CARD, THE SHADOW FROM HELL!"
(Vexx's body becomes darker with white eyes showing from his mask then Akari floated down to the ground then stared at Vexx's new transformation.)

"Heh, its cute and flashy I'll give you that. But my Trump Card gives me unparalleled powers beyond the shadows!"
"Akari: You can say all you want, but I must warn you weather can strike karma."
"Vexx: LIKE I'M SCARED OF A LITTLE RAIN!"
(He'd run faster than before and zoom past her after entering wormhole by wormhole.)
"Akari: Lightning Storm, THUNDER ASSAULT!"
(A huge bolt of lightning and thunder mixes which hits Vexx as he makes it out of the wormhole and Akari dashes her way towards him.)
"I have not one, BUT TWO TRUMP CARDS!"
"Vexx: WHAT?!"
"Akari: TRUMP CARD TWO!"
(The ground would rumble as a volcano was created in the center of the city and most of the academy sees it.)
"Chimon: Oh.. my.."
"Vexx: YOU WOULDN'T! YOU'D KILL EVERYONE YOU FREAKING LUNATIC!"
"Akari: That's why I am blessed with LAVA MANIPULATION!"
(The volcano erupts violently as the huge flow of lava would be floating above Akari in balance.)

"TRUMP CARD TWO, VOLCANIC ASPHALT!"
(She'd then the lava into a energy wave which is launched powerfully fast at Vexx.)
"Vexx: DAMN IT!! I NEED TO GO!"
(Vexx tries to escape with his wormhole but reached his limit.)
"NOOOOO!! MY WORMHOLES, THEY HAVE A LIMIT..?! DAMN YOU AKARI, I HOPE I SEE YOU IN HELL!!!!"
(The blast would cause a huge explosion as nearby buildings to decay from the lava's heat and the volcano began to return underground.)
(As the debris vanishes Vexx would appear without a single trace after being incinerated then Akari would begin to power down.)
"Akari: Mother, I did it! I'm just like you!"
(Akari smiled and gazed into the sky as the weather was turned back to normal but then was shot from the back by a gunslinger which left her gasping for air and slowly turning around while on the ground.)
"Alcott: What a pity, I see you winning the battle against Vexx and what happens next? You left your guard open, allow me to get a direct hit."
"Akari: N-No.... Its you..."
"Alcott: Negative ten star, Alcott The Gunslinger. Pleasure to meet you, Akari."
"Akari: You... killed my first friend in front of me..!"
"Alcott: She deserved to die. Now.. its your turn."
(Akari tries to raise her hand to call the weather but Alcott shoots her hand and it would fall flat to the ground as she was speechless.)

"Pathetic.."
(He'd put the gun to her head and rests his finger on the trigger.)
"Akari(Thinking): Sawano.. I'm sorry, I regret everything I said.. I regret everything I did to you..."
(She'd begin to cry as he slowly pulls the trigger then was stopped by a sword striking him in the arm which caused him to drop the gun.)
"Nightwave: If you're thinking about killing her, I'm not going to let it happen."
"Alcott: Tch.. Nightwave, I heard about you."
"Nightwave: Alcott, with those revolvers I hear you went from actual bullets to compressed energy beams."
"Alcott: Now that you've figured that out, I can't let you leave here alive."
"Nightwave: You could try to catch me, but I got bigger fish to fry. Also, I'm not your opponent."
(He'd pull the trigger at Nightwave then he'd vanish from thin air and Akari would be gone too.)
"Alcott: Damn it..!"
"Kiri: LETS PLAY YA SCUMBAG!"
(Kiri crashes into the ground, creating a big crater as Alcott rolled out the way in time. Chimon and school medicals would treat most of the wounded/bruised fighters then Chimon's earbud would static then Akari speaks on the line.)

"Akari(Earbud): This is Akari.."
"Chimon(Earbud): Akari! What happened?!"
"Akari(Earbud): I've managed to take down one of them.. He had the ability to create wormholes in mid-air..."
"Chimon(Earbud): The Shadow Element... Where are you now?"
"Akari(Earbud): Being carried back to the academy by Nightwave.. I suffered a little bit too much damage.."
"Chimon(Earbud): We have medicals standing by, we're waiting for you and good job."
(They'd end their communication and Akari would smile as Nightwave continued taking her back to the academy.)
(Konnor would get blasted away again with a powerful kick that sent him flying inside a jewelry store with broken glass everywhere.)
"Konnor: Damn it... he's too strong.. He somehow dodged every arrow I fired at him. If this keeps up, I'll be a dead man.."
"Hanzel: What's the problem? Ready to give up and give me your life?"
(He'd come in through the destroyed window then threw him back out into the open.)
"Konnor(Thinking): If only Ash was here, we'd have an advantage against this guy.. He's immune to poison, temperature changes and stunnings. What can I do...? WAIT.. poison.. Cursed Poisons can't work on him, unless..."
"Hanzel: Aw.. playing dead on me?"
(Hanzel would pick him up and dust him off then Konnor would weakly punch him.)

"Konnor: Come.. on.. Damn you.."
(Hanzel would smirk then grab his arm then squeezes it tightly leading to where it would pop into a noodle.)
"Konnor: AHHHH!!"
"Hanzel: Jesus, A ten star fighter like you fighting a threat like me?! YOU'RE WORTHLESS!"
(He'd punch him again to where his ribs cracked open and blood was coughed on Hanzel's face.)
"Eh.. I'm bored now. So I'll just kill you now."
"Konnor: D-Di-Div-iine..."
"Hanzel: Huh? Divine what?"
"Konnor: C-Creation..."
(A powerful beam of light blinds and blasts Hanzel to the ground as Konnor was partly healed from the attacks Hanzel pulled.)
"Hanzel: IMPOSSIBLE! WHAT ARE YOU-"
"Konnor: I am god-like Archer that defies the logic of reality. My bow is made from the strongest mahogany ever forged and it shall stand as both my shield and sword!"
"Hanzel: Grr.. GETTING SERIOUS NOW HUH? HERE'S A ONE WAY TICKET TO HELL, YOU BASTARD!"
(Konnor focuses his energy on his bow as it shows red, blue, green and brown as it represents the Earth. He'd then lay the arrow on the string and pulls it back and takes a deep breath.)

"Konnor: Trump Card.. MOTHER NATURE'S BLITZ!"
(He'd fire the arrow as it divides into four arrows as all four stabs him through his chest and torso but he'd feel weak after the grass's poison takes an effect.)
"Hanzel: What... THE HELL.. Did you do..?!"
"Konnor: Mother Nature's Blitz contains the four main elements of this world. Fire, Water, Grass and Earth. fire burns the heart, water drowns the lungs, grass poisons you and the earth turns you into stone."
(He'd feel weaker and weaker by the second.)
"The way I see it, this battle is over. I figured you out as well. You've built up an immunity to a CERTAIN type of poison, but Grass's poison is something you have forgotten."
"Hanzel: ...DAMN IT.. How did you find that out..."
"Konnor: For every arrow I shoot at you, gives me a closer answer."
"Hanzel: I hope... you rot.. You bastard...!"
(He'd fall motionless to the ground as his body was turned into stone after being poisoned, his lungs completely drowned and his heart burnt to a crisp.)
"Konnor: Victory.. Is mines."
(He'd begin to walk back to the academy but collapses after a few steps from loss of consciousness. Meanwhile, Ash and Freeze would continue their fight as they both remain in sync with their attacks and blocks.)

"Freeze(Thinking): It seems I may have underestimated my cousin."
"Ash:(Thinking): Guess all that training paid off, I'm close to him in sword combat."
(They'd separate on opposite sides and stopped.)
"Freeze: Tell me Ash, what's it like with The High Commission?"
"Ash: Pretty busy, but worth it if I can go all out on a superior opponent."
"Freeze: I see..."
"Ash: How is it as an executive of the order?"
"Freeze: All I can say is this, Okisaki is unlike any MONSTER I've ever seen.. She's so damn powerful, even the former rank one fighter fell to her."
(Ash gasped.)
"But.. I suppose we could stop for a while and talk about it."
(They both went into a closed bakery and picked out what they was going to eat.)
"Ash: So.. what or who is Okisaki Magachi?"
(Freeze takes a bit of a pastry.)
"Freeze: A few years ago, after countless months of training. She became a powerful wrecking machine that demolished the entire 7 star fighter board. That wasn't enough so she went to eight then nine then so on."
(Ash sat there and took a sip of his water.)

"Ash: What happened then..?"
"Freeze: Time flew by, she took on the former twelve star rank one fighter, she was known as The Daughter of God I believe."
(He gasped after hearing those words and shook a bit.)
"Is something wrong?"
"Ash: I think... I might know who you're talking about. That just... surprised me a bit, apologies."
"Freeze: No worries. After so, they both fought but Okisaki came out on top and ripped off both her angel wings with her bare hands. Ever since then, she's been hiding in the shadows and is the most wanted from the Elemental Federal Branch. And what she did to her own brother was a big shame because now, she plans on going the coward way."
"Ash: All this time.. I can't believe it. She was strong before but now she's a monster among monsters..!"
"Freeze: Indeed she is."
(They'd finish up their snacks.)
"Well.. you know we could continue our battle to the death. But what's say we save this duel for another time?"
"Ash: Sounds cool to me, cousin."
(They'd smile and shook each others hands.)
"Freeze: Till next time, little cousin."
(Freeze would back up and turn into an ice clone, teleporting away then the clone would collapse after so. Hellcat claws Golden Clover away from her and continues bouncing off the building's blind spots at fast speeds as he bleeds from around his body.)

"Golden Clover(Thinking): Damn it.. Even if I took her down six times, she gets stronger and stronger every time she dies.. Not to mention, her claws just made it past my armor. I need a plan B.."
"Hellcat: What are you going to do now?! You're close to death and there's no chance in defeating me!"
"Golden Clover(Thinking): Crap.. its no use, she's too fast and powerful for me now... this is what a twelve star VS Hellcat is like..? Its a living nightmare.."
"Hellcat: Time to die! PANTHER'S ASSAULT!"
(As she pounces down towards him, she was blasted out the way by a black orb which made her land on one of her knees.)
"Xiazress: Tch, Hellcat. The nine-life human being. You have the gall to show your face here after what you pulled in my realm? Unfortunately for you, we have unfinished business."
"Golden Clover: No way..! Xiazress, The Void Goddess!"
"Xiazress: How many lives does she have now?
"Golden Clover: Three lives, but be careful for every time she dies, she gets faster and stronger instantly."
"Xiazress: Thank you for that information. I'll take it from here."
"Golden Clover: I owe you one!"
(He'd begin to rush back to the academy to meet the medicals.)

"Hellcat: Xiazress... my oldest friend!!! SHALL WE PLAY LIKE WE USED TO..!?"
(She'd spawn her double-bladed spear.)
"Xiazress: We shall but just know, I won't go easy on you."
"Hellcat: COME AT ME!"
(They'd rush at each other then Hellcat's claws and Xiazress's spear blades clashes with one another at a fast pace.)
"(Thinking): Crap! How did she get so much faster with that spear..? No matter, I can still win!"
(Xiazress begins to swing her staff faster than her claws which began to give her the advantage then a split second later, they'd lose sync and Xiazress swings her staff faster than her eyes can see and strikes Hellcat multiple times.)
"Xiazress: Its useless!"
(She'd pierce her heart deeply with her spear which causes Hellcat to fall and decease then Xiazress backed up.)
"(Thinking): He said every time she dies, she'll get back up stronger and faster. I'll need to stay alert on that.. Two lives left. Makes me wonder how strong the final life is.."
(Hellcat's wound regenerates instantly as she vanishes as a running streak of light running towards Xiazress then splits her spear in half.)
"Xiazress: My spear!"
(Her claws would scrap across the concrete street as she smiled with cockiness.)
"Hellcat: What can you do now that your spear is split in twos??"
"Xiazress: I guess... I could do this."
(She'd grip both spears as black smoke merges with the broken spear bodies and becomes two separate staffs.)

"Hellcat: IMPOSSIBLE!"
"Xiazress: I'm a goddess, nothing is impossible for me. (Thinking): I can't let this school fall, they've helped me protect my realm. Now its my turn to help them!"
(Hellcat began to hiss loudly as she charged fastly towards Xiazress with her claws shredding everything around her.)
"Hellcat: RAPID SLASH!"
(Xiazress would remain focused and keep her eyes on Hellcat, waiting for an opening.)
"Xiazress: NOW! TRUMP CARD FOUR: VOID LIGHTNING BURST!"
(She'd slam both spears into the ground which causes a massive volt of electricity to burn through Hellcat then she'd scream as she was being electrocuted alive with powerful volts.)
"Xiazress: TRUMP CARD TWO: VOIDON IMPACT!"
(She'd power up to the final second and fires a massive energy wave made from her void element at Hellcat which she cannot move from the electrocution then the blast hits the ground which creates a massive field of darkness then explodes. Xiazress descends to the ground after looking at the massive crater.)
"Its over."
(Xiazress walked away as she gasped and noticed something.)

"Wait.. that was eight times... That means-"
(Hellcat slashes Xiazress which sends her across the city into a row of buildings.)
"Hellcat: YOU ALWAYS KNEW... HOW TO TICK ME OFF... and NOW I'M EVEN MORE ANGRY..!!"
(She'd appear from the debris as her claws were longer and sharper than before and she's grown a magnificent height. Xiazress would appear from the debris and rubble and appeared in the sky with black aura surrounding her.)
"Xiazress: Its time I stopped holding back.."
(She remained stationary in the sky and broke her seal which stormed black lightning around the two of them and gave her the Goddess-like powers and transformation which involved her eyes becoming void black.)
(Meanwhile at the academy, Chimon and the others was looking at the carnage still going on.)
"Chimon: That black lightning can only mean one thing, The Goddess of Void has came down to help us."
"Nightwave: I'm going back out, I'll help as many people as I can."
"Aceman: Same here."
"Ethereal: Count me in!"
"Chimon: Good luck and if anyone's in need of assistance, don't hesitate to help them."
"All Three: Got it!"
(They separated to different sides of the city as the battles continued then Chimon's phone rings.)
"Chimon: Hello?"
(He gasped at what he heard then dropped his phone in shock.)

"N-No..."
"Akari: Chimon what's wrong?!"
(He quickly rushed to the office and turned on communication to all earbuds.)
"Chimon: ATTENTION EVERYONE! WE GOT TROUBLE AND IT'S A BIG ONE..!"
(Dalton gasped as he was stopped in front of the humanoid.)
"Dalton(Earbud): This is Dalton, I NEED BACK UP ASAP..! ITS-"
"Chimon: DALTON? DALTON! WHAT HAPPENED?!"
(Static was heard as the communication was cut out and a massive booming was heard from the east side of Hakodate.)
"DAMN IT! NIGHTWAVE, ETHEREAL, ACEMAN GO CHECK IT OUT QUICKLY!"
"Nightwave(Earbud): On my way!"
"Ethereal(Earbud): Will do!"
"Aceman(Earbud): Don't gotta tell me twice!"
(The three of them arrives to see a blood trail lead to Dalton as he bled to death and saw the humanoid.)
"Chimon(Earbud): Ethereal! Aceman! Nightwave! What happened down there?!"
"Nightwave(Earbud): I'll tell you this, we're probably gonna need to update the negative star threat lists... the way I see it, we're dealing with one and she is ABOVE negative twelve.."
"Chimon(Earbud): What are you talking about?!"
(The humanoid vanishes then lands in front of the academy and walks towards the injured fighters.)

"???: I believe you might wanna hand over our executives, Maseda, Chloe AND Velriot."
"Chimon: NO..."
"Vixon: Its me, VIXON!! And I want you all to know that I thank you all for treating our executives but its time for them to go..!"
"Nuclear: YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE THEM OVER MY DEAD BODY!"
(He'd charge towards Vixon without a sign of fear and charges his body with Nuclear power.)
"Chimon: NUCLEAR NO! DON'T DO IT!"
"Nuclear: TRUMP CARD: HUMAN MISSILE!"
(He'd rocket himself towards Vixon but she'd steal his powers at the final second which caused him to be caught in her clutches.)
"Vixon: Decay, Life Steal."
(She'd grip Nuclear tight to which he'd scream after he quickly decayed into dust and his life force was trapped in her lantern as the others looked in disbelief.)
"Now for the rest.."
"Okisaki: That's enough, Vixon."
(The others looked at Okisaki's transformation as she's coated in blood.)

"Vixon: Empress Magachi.."
"Okisaki: Let me handle these worthless bitches."
"Chimon: The hell did you do with-"
(She dropped the three heads of the four elites and Vixon throws Jakuru's lifeless body on the ground and everyone stared in disbelief and shock.)
"Vixon: Its over, we've won this war."
(The earth was shaking violently as multiple explosions was heard and seen across the city.)
"Akari: What's happening!?"
"Chimon: I don't know!"
(Other medicals and fighters was trying to hold on tightly to something stable to avoid being pulled away by the earthquake's force then a monster crashes down with his lower body ripped off.)
"Monster: EMPRESS...! THERE'S SOMETHING.. COMING..! AND ITS NOT LIKE YOUR POWER..! ITS SOMEONE WITH SO MUCH STRENGTH AND SPEED...!"
"Okisaki: Who could possibly outmatch-"
(A gigantic boom was heard behind them as the row of buildings was turned into ashes instantly and a human-like figure was walking in the distance until the debris cleared. Everyone stared in shock as the debris cleared.)
"???: You know, pissing me off is a bad thing... now I won't hold back, even if you are my little sister. So now, I'm going to knock the HELL out of you..!"
"Everyone: SAWANO!!!"
