Chapter 9: It's the final co-...wait is the first battle, oh!

19 days before the anniversary of the war.

Massalfar, north of Valencia. ~32 Kilometers (~20 miles) away from both camps.

[11:00]

The figure laughed in the most uncanny way the engineer had ever heard, cracking his voice and tilting his body slightly to the right side of where his sword was hanging on his left hand. Then his right arm snapped multiple times in a sudden motion. Three seconds later, the magic began to flow through his arm, snapping the parts back in place as its arm and hand accelerated in many sizes.

But we are getting a bit ahead of ourselves. How did this individual look? Not much taller than any human, at barely two meters tall (or six feet and five inches tall). This individual had short hair with dark blue and crimson tones. However, part of his head was shaven off inconsistently. It looked like he tried to shave it himself with a mirror, with no style or sense. Yet for a young man, he had one fake eye that looked like a ruby that glowed with an intense aura. With the same brown skin tone as his Sister, this man wore a made-up crown of silver paper, wood, and stones. Not jewels, just colorful rocks that anyone could pick up anywhere. The figure wore made-up resembling medieval royalty clothing, filled with dirt and blood, as someone splashed those on him. The blood and dirt were in such great quantities that the details and ornaments on these clothing weren’t visible.

His hands were coated in his blood from wounds he inflicted on themselves, and his left arm was filled with cuts. His pants had skull and bones attached to them in a gore way, stabbed to his legs as it pierced his flesh. Even in his muscular arms, his man was partially hunched back and had two left feet. There was no mistake only by looking at the creepy smile he wore on his face. This man looked broken beyond repair. Most of the power that the sword he held came from that jewel he had for an eye and barely from himself as that constant deafening laughter never stopped.

Chump jumped back to be on his toes, looking at that man and paralyzed by the horrifying-looking appearance, Zippy almost vomited whatever he ate that morning and looked at each other. “What the fuck?!” Chump yelled, escaping that he could

“Finally! Human! An alive human! I will hunt you! I will make Daddy proud! I will be the one on the throne!” As he began to drag the sword, lifting it with power, the arm that grew to an astronomical level, the one with cuts, began to rise, soon to slam down the place where Chump stood. The gigantic fist descended rapidly and crashed against the floor and wall tiles, tearing those apart as if they were made of papier mache.

Chump stepped beside him, dodging the strike in time as he held Zippy in his arms and looked back before going backward carefully. “E-E-EY look S-Stop okay? We don’t have to do this, I know this is crazy but!” He shouted in a burst, tearing a bit apart and clenching his teeth ”Do NOT get nearby! Drop the weapon! Dammit man, help me here okay?!”

“Yeah, obey what my Master says and stop! Drop it! Stop we said!!!” Zippy commented on the backpack I carried on my back. Trembling on it, Chump could feel its fear in his voice, whispering like a scary cat “M-Master, he is using R-Remenant as well!” Excitement and fear showed through trembles.

“No shit Zippy. And that’s not an element! And why he’s the only one who says “human” right?! Fuck it, extracting sheet and running away!” He took the sheet from his aura in fear and both began running away from the deformed man. This only fermented further that creepy laughter as the excruciating chirp began to fill the road.

Aldric D’ravon Character sheet obtained.

“Come here human! Why are you running? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING MY PRECIOUS PRIZE?!” As he began to slam the sword around, the magic on Aldric coursed through his skin, breaking his cells apart as more blood spilled on the ground. The sword caught on fire covering.

The pop-up appeared on his arm as he felt a wave of heat, the sound of fire approaching rapidly.

Zippy screamed “DODGE!”.

Chump reacted and charged sideways in a quick sidestep. However, he didn’t expect that his extra step would send him flying and crashing against a wall, he didn’t think he had enough force to go that fast. He quickly turned to see what would haunt his nightmares for the next few days.

A giant floating slash, in the form of a crescent moon of flame and fire, obliterated the pavement he stood a moment ago and everything in the way like a hot knife to butter, as every piece of metal, every tin can, every stone in that barely swung that covered the height of that same giant that provoked it. Everything on the way melted into a giant pile of materials, as useless as rubber. In the middle of this trash-making, only glass shattering could be heard besides the bubbling melting pile of materials.

Zippy activated “Wind Control" Remenant used 100 points. Points remaining: 9161/12.000

Aldric activated “Fire Creation” and “Fire Control” “Aldric used “???? ?????” Remenant used 11.000 points. (10.000 and 1.000 respectively) Points remaining: 80.000/71.000+500.000

“OH SHIT!” Chump screamed as he observed how the giant fire attack stopped nearby him before continuing to run. “I couldn’t see anything! How did you know?!”

“I heard it! Keep running!” Zippy screamed but Chump didn’t obey, instead, it stopped, desperately looking around and running towards a factory that didn’t seem unusual. “What are you doing?!” Zippy peeked out of his arms to see the destructive being chasing them, slowly reaching their talons.

In front of them, the road split in two different directions. On their left, was a street filled with industries, factories, and whatever human structure related to innovation and application of human technology that had been invented until this point. Abandoned through a whole year. On the right side, a clear way filled with farmlands and abandoned

“We need something to fight this fire somehow!” Chump said holding on to the bunny and charging through any obstacles in the way, yet not praying to any god, just believing he could come ahead somehow

“We need to tire him out and then I can zap him out!” Zippy tried to get Chump to the right clear path, seeing a lot of space and thinking of a way to beat the mad prince. However, Chump thought of a clever way to do the same thing Zippy wanted, but seeing too much dry weed would be fatal going that place.

Neither of them didn’t coordinate. And began to fight with each other. Chump began to pull away towards the industry, but Zippy pulled away from his hair, so the human barely could step to the left while his head and upper torso were being torn to the right. In the end, nobody of them moved. Aldric laughed it off, clapping his hands and charging its next attack. “What a jolly good show humanzzzz!”

“No, that’s insanity! Can’t you see how he makes the streets with his metal stick?! He will cook us alive! There’s too much grass to survive a wildfire!” Chump tried to pull through the insane force the tiny rabbit was pulling off

Zippy yelled back, in pure stress “Trust me on this one! You heard me out before, why not now? WATCH OUT!” As the bunny’s instinct went off.

Aldric activated “Fire Creation” and “Fire Control” “Aldric used “???? ?????” Remenant used 11.000 points. (10.000 and 1.000 respectively) Points remaining: 69.059/71.000+500.000

Zippy activated “Wind Control" in emergency mode. Surpassing limits and reaching 200% of limit capacity. Remenant used 2.000 points. Points remaining: 7163/12.000}

As a great slash of fire began to traverse the couple fighting each other for which direction to take, the bunny used the wind that the heat and air pressure that giant slash created to push off both of them in different directions, launching them on the air with great speed. They barely dodged the slash as it flew against a building and its front melted off in a pile of rubber. The human was launched off a few meters before rolling on the road and hitting a pile of trash nearby. He felt how a bone inside of him broke, but he didn’t know exactly where, as his body felt like it was gonna torn off at any moment. But what made him go up again in anger was seeing what happened to Zippy.

The bunny went flying way further distance, hitting the floor and bouncing off like a ball before hitting a tree, losing consciousness, and tons of blood upon hitting the floor. The heavy painful breathing of the tiny bunny, and its crying fueled the anger of the human to stand up. Aldric slowly turned to the bunny, as he licked his lips and salivated like a hungry dog. His torn voice slowly dug a hole in the mind of the human as he commented,

“Hmm, electric fur ball….my favourites…I am gonna cook you and eat you with tons of-“

Chump interrupted his comments as he breathed in all the air he could, half crying in anger and frustration, yelling with enough force to make any other noise like a whistle on the wind. Standing strong with both legs he called out to Aldric, taking his bag by reaction and loading his gun. The mad prince turned around only to see the human charge up

“ZIPPY!!!! YOU! AAAAAGH I HATE YOU OTHER WORLDERS! YOU ARE ALL THE SAME, RETARDED LOOKING OR NOT! YOU BLOODY THIRSTY ASSHOLES!” With his right arm firm and taking off the safe, he aimed towards the prince, ignoring the pain he felt as howled even louder, feeling his connection to the bunny weakening.

BANG!

The first shot went to the head. The noise of the pistol was defeating. The shock wave to his arms was crushing his muscles and his arm felt like it would snap at any moment, but at that moment he didn’t care for anything else.

“DIE!”

BANG BANG BANG! The second, third, and fourth shots went to the chest. The mad prince dropped the weapon, as he got shot and the bullets kept shocking his body around.

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG- Click click click click click.

The human kept shooting as he kept pushing forward, his yelling made him ignore for a moment that he ran out of bullets before noticing that the arm didn’t feel like hell anymore and the gun didn’t have any more explosions. The rest of the bullets hit the arms, a couple on the leg but the kicker was the last, hitting the prince on his crotch and taking him down. The prince dropped his sword to the ground as no more sound came from him. Chump ran towards Zippy, his anxiety and fear eating him alive, thinking of the worst that just happened, kicking the mad prince’s head on the way. He kneeled and held Zippy in his arms, stopping the bleeding and looking around. “Zippy, please wake up! Please please, please! I am sorry I didn’t listen to you….Fucking hell no!”

He took out his improvised medic kit from his bag and began to treat the wound of the bunny. He mumbled many empty curses and apologies to the bunny, as tears began to rain down the human’s face his cold facade broke down on his red face. “Fucking hell I am sorry I didn’t take you seriously enough and you keep saving my life without nothing in exchange! I should have treated with more kindness to the tin can and…and…Fuck fuck please, any god or your goddess or whatever, please…Please help him, I don’t care about me but Zippy didn’t deserve any of this shit.”

While hugging him with the most care he had in months, closing his eyes, and feeling the tiny body heat of the bunny, he didn’t notice the two pop-ups that appeared on his arm.

“True Companionship” 2/10 ★ → 2.5/10 ★ (100.000). Perks, connections, and all shared attributes have been enhanced. New attributes may be possibly linked now. Waiting for authorization of all parties.

“????????? ????????”: 1/10 ★ → 2/10 ★

DING…DAING…Dong…

The victory didn’t last long. Chump’s body and mind were paralyzed as he heard metallic bounces, a sound that he recognized from many movies and television shows he had seen.

The sound of bullets bouncing off the stone floor.

He turned around as he saw the body of the mad prince rejecting those bullets like they were made of plasticine, recovering from his injuries at a fast pace. The injuries on his legs arms and chest stopped bleeding, and the head slowly cracked and turned to the human in an eldritch matter as teeth overgrowth over his existing teeth and his face began to grow scales. The broken mad laughter drilled the human’s ears as his chest felt out of breath.

“WHY CAN’T YOU JUST DIE LIKE ANY HUMAN?! I shot you like 10 times! WHY YOU ARE THAT STRONG! I HATE MAGIC! IS ALWAYS THE SAME BULLSHIT!” Chump yelled With the bunny in his arms and his body in pain, he ran towards the industry he had in mind, arriving at the door and kicking multiple times. By some unknown circumstances too, he had enough strength to take down the metallic with a single kick. He didn’t notice, but the connection between them not only grew stronger, but their bodies grew stronger. Even if it was just a bit.

Closing the door behind him, still pressing the wound so it wouldn’t bleed out, he looked through the window that the prince was getting up, bleeding black blood through his mouth as he spit it out, even if the bullet shot went to their skull. Chump’s chest began to shrink and his senses began to feel numb. Looking around, he quickly tried to find an exit. He thought a building of that size wouldn’t have only one entrance. But to his dismay, the other exists were blocked by hundreds of materials, crates, or just broken trash blocking the path.

Accidentally, he trapped them both inside of that ceramic production factory.

“Fuck! Okay okay! We can’t run! We can’t run…Where is it?! Where’s the medic kit!” he yelled non-stopping. He ran around inside the building looking for whatever he had in mind and another way out. “What do I do, what do I do!!!!” He yelled, trying to calm his stress out and coughing like a madlad, then he remembered “ The character sheet! I have it…I have it….Zippy goes first…Okay, I know what I must do! Time….Time, how do I fight a superhuman-like being who is capable of controlling fire and…melt steel but not….not glass….” He commented, looking find how the windows were

The mad prince slowly got up as he observed how the human ran off inside the building, slowly kneeling and picking the sword up. His laughter began once again, cracking with every step a bit the floor, as the sword shrieked against the cement and the sun slowly rose between the clouds. Walking slowly on purpose, enjoying every moment of the hunt. And Chump noticed it.

“This will be fun!!!~”

—————————————————————

19 days before the anniversary of the war.

El Tello, Princess Masha Base. ~12 kilometers (~7.5 miles) away from Chump hideout.

[11:00]

All the soldiers from both kingdoms were waiting in two lines, waiting for the reception of the mad prince. All knew, he was supposed to come from the west and even fed the humans that day to make them silent. Gunnhildr and her troops finally had decent-looking outfits. Most wore armor of a looking obsidian stone, but most of them had their trophies and prideful hunts on the outside, still showing off.

Ephiron and his squad stood as elegant as always, still for the time being. Yet they looked at each other, even in their minimal expressions, their confusion was clear.

Princess Masha changed clothes to a more armor-looking, platinum scales one. Instead of having a princess cut, more of a classical European princess-looking dress. She was sitting down on her throne, her feelings slowly changing. Her desperation and grudge slowly disappeared into impatience and frustration. She checked out her communication as she sighed. “Everyone, break the standoff. He is two hours late. And knowing him he probably got lost, again. Alright, new orders!” Everyone turned to her, focusing their attention on her.

Gunnhildr stretched out, mumbling in exhaustion “Fucking finally. Let’s get this moron around.” However, Ephiron looked at her, undignified of his actions. Gunnhildr knew the prince from long ago, but to Ephiron, he was the second to the throne. Someone who should be respected on sight and should be at the top of the empire. But the attitude of Gunnhildr’s men and the princess indicated otherwise. But every thought was cut off by Masha’s orders.

“Ephiron and squad. East and South. Check the sea and the villagers around. Once you finish without notice, assist Gunnhildr in whatever she says. Gunnhildr, you and your people will check the city and the western villages. I have the fastest speed and can fly. I will check the north for him. If any doubts arise, if anyone sees them notify me first then the rest. That’s all, move out!”

Everyone moved out before Masha, as she mumbled “And luckily, I don’t find him.” Masha expanded her ice wings away, as she took off to the skies in a flashy way, breaking the cloud as she went through everything.

Only to be followed by an Oberon drone at a relatively safe distance, silent as a feather.

19 days before the anniversary of the war.

Massalfar, north of Valencia. ~32 Kilometers (~20 miles) away from both camps.

[11:23]

Adric took his time shrieking his sword against the floor, licking his dripping blood as he peeked out through the window how the human moved around frankly, building something up. His tone reflected his sadistic tendencies as he whispered. “Little, little human, nothing you do can save you now~ Both of you will be my food and trophies and Father will be soooo happy!” He arrived at the door, as hundreds of fey lines covered his body and charged up the sword with so much energy, that the metallic frame began to turn red hot away. The mad imagination went wild, to see if he survived the attack how he would torture the human, how to cook him, and which one was the first to boast about it. “Maybe you stay alive to show you my favorite toy, my sister Mashaaaaa!!~”

Masha flew over the skies and sighed away in desperation as she sighted his amorphous brother. She silently glided down, landing on top of the building. She took out what looked like a magic mirror with silver decoration, similar to what Oberon looked like but then stopped to observe what he was doing, why so much energy to a random human building. A strange feeling told her to stop and observe, and combined with her deep hate for the mad prince, she stood silent to observe what would happen.

And the drone behind Masha, floating in the sky and recording everything that was about to happen. A thick cloud of smoke enveloped the building, as heat began to radiate throughout the entire area. To the point that the plants around began to dry and burn like popcorn, and the water evaporated.

Aldric's laughter echoed with a wild, unhinged glee as cracks began to spiderweb across his skin, glowing with a searing, molten light. His body trembled with raw, overwhelming power, threatening to tear him apart. "HERE IT GOES!" he bellowed, his voice rising above the chaos, "VOLCANIC!!!—"

“Show off,” Masha stated, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms, observing what his brother would unfold upon the stone building.

Aldric activated “Fire Creation” and “Fire Control” Aldric used “Volcano Storm” Remenant used 73.500 points. (72.000 and 1.500 respectively) Points remaining: 183/71.000+500.000

“STOOOOOOOORRRR-“

“NOW!” Chump yelled as he broke through the door. It followed by striking a ceramic plate with force against the face of the prince, shattering to pieces yet ignoring the fire around Aldric, as if it didn’t exist. The impact slammed into them like a sledgehammer, driving them backward. They stumbled, feet fumbling over each other, barely able to stay upright as they fought to regain their balance. He swung his sword forward blindly to fully regain the sense of equilibrium as it looked towards the figure that hit him.

He wore a protective rubber suit reinforced with hundreds of ceramic plates. His face was shielded by a fire-resistant helmet, the kind used by smelters and firefighters to withstand extreme heat. His improvised backpack, designed from the same heat-resistant materials as his helmet, was where he carefully placed Zippy, stable from his injuries and recovering.

Chump followed this rush with a tackle, making Aldric lose concentration of his magic and tripping him backward, as it began to disintegrate the building behind them.

Chump ran past him and stood away from the melting building.

“Now this is quite interesting…A human fighting my brother. What strange armor he wears…Not tailored by anyone, by I can’t deny the functionality.” Masha giggled off, but yet he stopped for a moment, squinting her eyes, “Is that…the ghost of Valencia?”

“Don’t you know that Rock beats fire?” Chump commented, with a cackle. “C’mon man is basic Pokemon logic here.” Chump laughed it off as it felt his skin burning away. Using the moment that Aldric was disoriented, he checked on Zippy, even if he wanted to finish off Aldric first.

Zippy was fine, slowly recovering. The bleeding of the bunny had stopped, and his black fur showed off tiny sparks around his body. Chump nodded and closed up the backpack. As Aldric slowly stood up, his laughter gone for a frustrated groaning, He clenched his sword tightly, his knuckles turning white with the force of his grip. Chump opened up Aldric’s character sheet and was surprised by the changes on it.

Aldric head tilted sideways and pointed to the character sheet, who couldn’t read being so far from him “What is that??“

Chump checked the sheet out and nodded, a bit annoyed his physical defense being so high,

“Let’s do like the old ways! Rocks beating each other to make fire!”
