“Rooster wait for me!” Hard Steel ran behind Rooster’s shadow over to where the rival band of Tomb Riders were battling against the Rank-B Scorpion Field Monster.
Four of the rival Tomb Riders that were dashing around on pairs of guillotine motors, distracted the monstrous scorpion while their leader made his way over to where the Grace of Pinnacles was.
“Just like that Bayonet! Keep it distracted while I pair up with this artefact!”
“You got it boss Zhredder!”
The leader of the crew was also sporting a pair of guillotine motor. That is why they called themselves the Guillotine Squad. Zhredder arrived within proximity of the artefact, as he was reaching out for it, he saw a burly character dashing towards him.
“That’s our artefact you ass-face!” Rooster tossed out a deadly fist towards Zhredder’s head. Unfortunately, Zhredder was quite adroit and swift on his motor so it was quite easy for him to dodge.
“Well now, what do we have here?” Zhredder looked at Rooster disdainfully and smirked. “If it isn’t the mother-loving jackass from earlier. I see that you’ve crawled out of her shrivelled snatch to receive your beating.”
“Shut your mouth!” During his fit of rage, Rooster lashed out at Zhredder with a wide kick. Once again Zhredder easily evaded his attack.
“Stay still so that I can rip you to pieces, you coward!”
“And why would I do that?”
Rooster shouted out so loudly that he even attracted the attention of the rest of the Guillotine Squad.
“Boss Zhredder! Do you need our help dealing with that loser?”
“No worries boys. Just hurry up and reap that Ghoul’s Soul, I’ll take out these trashes.” Saying this, Zhredder ignored Rooster’s deadly glare and flashed over to where the artefact was resting. He wanted to gain control of the artefact before anyone else but what he didn’t know was that the artefact was already under someone else’s control.
“Your mine!” Zhredder slapped his palm onto the artefact’s tag, moments later, he saw it glowing red. “What…?”
“Not so fast!” Hard Steel showed up on the scene with his palm glowing bright red. He flicked his palm a couple of times which caused the artefact to react. Hard Steel made the artefact slapped Zhredder away.
“AHHH!” Zhredder crashed through a piece of shattered column, leaving him stranded on his back. “Cough! Cough!” He spat out a mouthful of blood while groping his chest in pain. When the rest of his gang saw his predicament, they became extremely agitated.

“Boss Zhredder!” The Guillotine Squad was starting to feel antsy.
“Knife! Ratchet! Machete! You three go and help the boss, I’ll take care of this monster.”
“Are you sure you can handle it by yourself Bayonet?” Knife asked worryingly.
“I’m sure. What are you still waiting around for? Go!”
“Roger!” Knife, Ratchet and Machete flung their guillotines over to where Zhredder was, leaving Bayonet to fend off the venomous scorpion alone.
“Come and get cut to pieces, you poisonous bitch!” Bayonet materialized several guillotines around him, moreover, he began tossing them at the arachnid beast.
“REEEEEEK!” The scorpion’s exoskeleton was being bombarded by tiny spikes. It screamed out in pain then got ready to retaliate. The scorpion started thrusting its malefic stinger down at Bayonet, its actions caused the abandoned ruins to tremble all over.
While Bayonet was keeping the scorpion busy, Hard Steel along with Rooster saw it fitting to get the hell out of dodge. Both of them tossed out their Motors Cube in a hurry. The moment their motors materialized, they hopped in and began moving towards the exit with the Grace of Pinnacles trailing behind them.
“Don’t let those jackasses escape with the artefact!” Seeing Rooster and Hard Steel fleeing after giving him a whooping beat down, made Zhredder extremely upset. He gave his squad a command to catch them at any cost.
“Rooster! Watch out for the scorpion’s attacks!” Hard Steel was mindful of the monstrous obstacle before them. The only thing standing in their way to exit was Bayonet and the gigantic scorpion who was rampaging all over.
“Look out!” Rooster shifted away from underneath a falling debris only to come across Bayonet blocking his path.
“Neither of you are getting past me with that artefact!” Bayonet materialized a multitude of spinning guillotines which he used to prevent Hard Steel and Rooster from leaving.
While they were busy trying to find a way out, the scorpion didn’t linger. It dashed toward the Tomb Riders with its stinger dripping with poison. “RAHAAA!”
“Incoming!” The scorpion stinger slammed into the ground which caused a massive crater in the form of its own tail to appear in the ruin’s floor.
Hard Steel and Rooster were both blown away into a corner. When they regained their footing they saw not only the vengeful scorpion gunning towards them but Zhredder along with his gang of guillotines.
“Oh shit! We’re in deep doo-doo!” During his moment of fright, Hard Steel controlled the 5-metre statue to cordon off the path but he quickly realized the mistake in his actions.
“The artefact! Quickly steal control over the tag! Don’t let him call it back.” As Zhredder gave the order, the rest of his gang leapt onto the Grace of Pinnacles and pinned it down; preventing it from moving.
While Zhredder’s gang was keeping Hard Steel busy, Zhredder himself along with the gigantic scorpion, attacked Rooster. “Time to get your ass wipe fart face!”
Zhredder pulled out a Purple Soul Insignia from his motor, also, he switched his course and made his way onto the scorpion’s head. Looking down at Rooster from a high distance, Zhredder held his Purple Soul Insignia up to the skies and said resoundingly:
“Activate Heavenly Susanoo!” An arcane source of power began building up around Zhredder and the scorpion. It was almost like a possessive spirit materializing itself. Mysterious energies coagulated, moreover, hardened until they formed a transparent violet armour that surrounded the scorpion’s body entirely. That wasn’t all either, from where Zhredder was standing atop the scorpion’s head, he spread his arms apart. In doing so he materialized two extra-large guillotines that were swirling around with blood-thirsty blades.
