Chapter 28:

Rob

Ane And His Seames


"I have to defeat him quick but how?" Ane whispered with a frown as he turned.

"I have an idea." Lisa said. Ane turned his attention to her. "The dragon eyes Conner taught you to use." she suggested. Ane held his chin.

"Oh right. I observed one of it's uses in the fight with that masked guy." he remarked to then grin and activate the eyes.

"Those eyes." Rob thought.

"It's time!" Ane yelled; punching his palm causing wind to blast across the roof. Rob frowned and his hair got coated in electricity once again. "Stay back." Ane warned the girls as he shot forward. The hair strands fired at Ane who casually dodged them to then fly into the air; the hair still tracing him. Ane soared down; slicing at hair crazily. As soon as he landed; he shot at Rob avoiding the electricity which spat on the ground. Ane fired a punch which Rob ducked. The robot's hand then turned into a saw which he then sliced at Ane with but the boy flipped over the blade to then slice at the hair which shot down at him. He then vanished as others spat electricity at him. 

"Damn it! Just stay still and die!" Rob screamed as he seemed to enlarge slightly to then spit a beam of electricity at Ane who backflipped countless times in order to avoid the long lasting attack which tailed him. Ane then jumped into the air and placed the "Dragon Claws" aside him.

"Spinning Combo!" Ane yelled as he spun; forming a tiny vortex as he spat at the beam and pierced straight through it. Ane stood in front of Rob as time was extremely slow around him in that current moment and Rob grinded his teeth as Ane barraged the robot with slices in the vortex attack as time seemed to return to normal around them. Parts of Rob flung from him as he rolled away. Ane casually watched away from the robot who rolled off behind him.

"Ane's elemental energy is slightly different and not to mention he has two new girls with him right now. I seriously need to know what's going on here." Eina thought.

"You're so amazing Ane!" Lisa yelled; blushing. Ane smiled back.

"I'm not...done yet." Rob remarked as he stood; glitching. Ane turned back to the robot and Mandy's powers vanished around him. Ane's face dropped as he stared at Rob who's heart was visible as part of his exterior was gone. Ane clenched his fist angrily.

"So it IS you huh, Rob? It's really you I've been fighting." Ane thought; eyes shielded.

"What's this? Trying to pity me after you've already killed me twice!?" Rob yelled as sparks sprayed from his half broken shoulder which revealed wires and human bones. Ane frowned again and clenched his teeth which were now fangs.

"Who's the bastard that did this to you!" Ane yelled; the crimson aura slowly covering him.

"Save your filthy pity." Rob remarked arrogantly. Ane eyed Rob with a deadly look; one dragon eye covered by his hair. Rob backed up slightly and clenched his teeth.

Ane lifelessly walked to Rob. "Rob; are you even still in there?" he asked.

"Why would you care after trying to kill me twice!" Rob yelled back. Ane's eyes were both shielded again.

"Rob's my friend and I didn't believe he'd fight me so now that I have proof that he actually is; maybe over his will...pisses me off...so much!" Ane roared; clenching his fists. The veins over his barebacked body showed.

"Well your friend is no more. All that's left is Rob The Robot!" Rob yelled with a maniacal laughter.

"Is that so?" Ane asked.

"Yes; he lives for the master and will die for the master as well!" Rob exclaimed with more unhinged laughter.

"Well I'll grant you your death." Ane said. "And then send that master to hell." he continued with an emotionless gaze. Rob braced for a fight and Ane's dragon eyes had a gleam as he paced forward. Rob's lower arm spat off and an insane amount of electricity spat from it. 

"Ane!" the girls shouted. A tear went down Rob's face.

"I knew you were still in there." Ane whispered as he punched open the ground behind Rob and jumped from it.

"But how?" Rob asked as he watched the area he blasted. The hole from before lay in the ground. "Shit huh." he remarked as Ane uppercutted him.

"Lisa pin him down quickly!" Ane yelled. Lisa flew into the air and placed her hand forward.

"Wind Style: Gust." she said. Wind continuously overpowered Rob.

"This isn't good." he thought trying to rise futilely. Ane calmly walked forward. "How do you intend on finishing the job if the pressure's pouring down around me?" Rob asked; barely managing to grin.

"Oh right. I'll decrease the radius of..." Lisa began.

"No need." Ane interrupted; raising a fist which his elemental energy focused into.

"That attack!? Have you finally completed it?" Lisa asked.

"Not exactly." Ane began. "But a possessed me used it and I realized what I was missing." he continued. Lisa rose an eyebrow. "I need to focus a little force on my feet as well." Ane remarked; shifting back his legs to then shoot forward. "Straight Forward Punch!" he shouted as he punched Rob.

"Make...that...old man...pays." Rob's voice called from the robot's blowpipe. Ane smiled.

"I promise I will." Ane whispered as Rob cracked apart and then shattered to pieces in his hand.

"Y-you did it." Mandy said weakly as she sat up.

"You're awake." Eina said with a sigh of relief. Ane turned to the girls and did a thumbs up.

"Did I really ask you two to..." he then said as he stepped forward; eying Lisa and Mandy but his body then thumped and he fell forward; eyes rolling up and puking more blood than ever. "Am I...dead?" he thought.

"Ane!" all three girls voices yelled through the darkness the boy lay in now despite his eyes being open.

"He increased his powers didn't he?" Eina asked.

"Yes." Lisa responded.

"It seems to have strained him." Mandy added.

"Let's get him to a medical elemental." Eina suggested.

"Do you know any?" Mandy asked as sound became completely muffled to Ane who's eyes finally shut.

Ane blinked to see young him and young Lana frowning at Jack who smirked back. "What do you want?" Young Ane inquired while shielding Lana.

"Tsk." Jack commented as he walked forward.

"Stay back!" Young Ane yelled. Jack held his chin.

"Let me think...."he said sarcastically.

"Don't worry. I'll stick by your side till the end." Young Ane said to Lana making her blush and nod.

"Such...cheap promises." Jack said as Ane launched into the air holding Lana.. Jack then appeared where Ane was; leg risen. "Pitiful." he said. Lana backed up and was about to strike but Jack kicked her in the stomach. He then held her hair and slammed her into the ground.

"Lana!" both Anes yelled. Present Ane dove and punched Jack to just phase through the kid.

"I'll kill you!' Young Ane shouted as he ran at Jack.

"Oh?" Jack asked as he kicked Lana out of the way. Young Ane dove at the girl to receive a punch in the gut from Jack. Ane's stomach curled up and he spat blood before rolling back on the ground which he then lay on motionlessly.

"Don't worry about that guy." Jack said softly. "I'll be....no I am a much better Ane than him." he continued; kissing Lana's cheek.

"Fuck you!" the girl snared; spitting on Jack's face. He laughed.

"Little bitch!" he then exclaimed as he began to strangle the girl. He smirked as he rose her into the air with insane eyes. Lana dangled from the boy's grasp and her mouth drippled saliva as she suffocated. Young Ane knelt there; staring in horror. 

"N-no!" he cried as he started to stand. "Lana!" he screamed while running forward to then flash to Jack and the punch the boy in the forehead. Jack's hands loosened on Lana who then slapped them away to then dive into Young Ane's arms as the boy jumped back. The Jack vanished into darkness.

"A clone?" Lana asked. A hand gripped her and Ane's shoulders.

"Shit." Present Ane thought; frowning at the vision. Jack flung Lana to his left and slammed Ane into the ground. As Ane rose; Jack was towering over him already; dragon eyes now activated.

"Here's another attack." Jack remarked staring Ane right in the eyes. Young Ane's eyes blurred up.

"What did you do?" Lana asked as she limped to Jack.

"Illusion." Jack answered to then watch the park's lights which started to flash.  "That bastard's coming, Conner." he remarked; frowning to then flash to Lana and knock her unconscious. "You're lucky this time, Ane." Jack remarked as he teleported into a dark mouth.

Present Ane opened his eyes to see Eina watching over him. "Welcome back to the world of the living." she said with a smile.

"Glad to be back." Ane replied; smiling back to then look around at the hospital room. "Is this a normal hospital?" he inquired.

"Yes. The doctor has elemental powers though." Eina explained. Ane sighed relievedly to then eye his chest area to see a scar healing up.

"That's...something." he said.

"Bro, you got regenerative powers as good as mine." Ene said as the scar completely healed and he jumped from the window he had emerged from.

"So Lana went out for bandages needlessly." Eina stated. Ane froze.

"Lana's here?" he whispered slowly.

"Don't worry. She didn't see Lisa." Eina said softly. Ane let out a sigh of relief.

"How does she know about Lisa?" Ene queried.

"Not so loud you idiot!" Eina scolded; punching Ene. "Lisa told me everything." she then explained; sighing.

"What about Mandy? Is she okay?" Ane asked.

"She also explained everything; about the cyborgs and all. She's not here anymore though." Eina answered. Ane sighed and watched outside. "She also said she's a council member." Eina added. A faint wind blew across the room and Ane gulped.

"What else?" he asked.
