Chapter 16: High Tide

Chapter 16: High Tide

She pulled the wand towards her and punched her enemy’s face with a strength that could break metal, knocking her to the ground. “Ohohoho! What a wonderful sight! Another Magical Girl Transformation! A second time in my lifetime, experiencing it face to face and my eyes are here to capture its pure beauty again!” Ayaka lifted the wand and water surrounded it, covering it in metal and spinning it quickly. The wand spun extremely fast before slowing down into a metal helm of the ship, an eighth pointed metal circle. She grabbed onto two metal spokes and spun it around, water splashing everywhere as the two of them slowly rose up from the ground.

Water spun everywhere and dark blue pillars of water shot up from the ground, turning into the poles of the ship. “This is great! Show me your strength and conviction!” Cuteness sprouted red pink wings and flew into the dark stormy clouds forming in the sky. Ayaka grabbed a long cylindrical object from her coat and spun the bottom of it, making it elongate to a spyglass. “A pitiful and evil bird flying above my ship? This Captain of the Abyss~ will handle it!”

She pocketed the spyglass and pointed forward, the ship rising quickly from the ground and demolishing any buildings nearby. She swung her arm down and the sails of the ships popped out from the poles, splattering water everywhere.

A bullet shot through the air, cutting all the rain, it struck and collided into Ayaka. She dodged to the side, the bullet grazing her arm. “Petals of Innocence!” Sharp petals swayed in the air, falling slowly before spinning extremely fast towards Ayaka.

A wall of water sprung up from the ship and turned into metal, stopping all the petals. “Stop hiding, you bully!” She stuck her tongue out and pulled the bottom of her eyelid down.

“Or what?! Are you gonna do your brutish attacks and rip my cute little body apart?! You brute!”

“Hmm~ yeah I think I will.” She pointed her finger forward and the ship began moving on the ground, the sails being pushed by the strong winds of the storm. The front of the ship was like a tsunami, crashing onto any buildings and destroying them with the weight of the Abyss. “Full speed ahead onto that annoying friend of yours!”

Cuteness teleported in front of the ship’s wheel and grabbed onto the spokes and tried to turn the ship around with her monstrous strength. “Hurting my maid is a no go!”

“Keep your hands off my helm, please!” The metal wheel transformed into water and Cuteness’s hard grip clamped onto the water splattering it everywhere. Ayaka turned to the side and slammed her shoulder into Cuteness, shoving her onto the ground.

She fell onto the deck of the ship, tossing a large amount of water into the air. “Anchor!” The water on the ship bounced to the ground and into Ayaka’s hand, taking the shape of a ship’s anchor before transforming into hard metal.

She raised the anchor to the air before pushing her hands down, slamming the anchor onto the deck of the ship. Cuteness frantically disappeared and reappeared a couple feet away in the air. “Rabbit ma-

“HARPOON!” A loud harpoon shot up from the water on the deck and interrupted Cuteness, piercing her stomach and rocketing into the air, “herk, you annoying mons- aaah!” Her scream was cut off as the harpoon was pulled back, slamming and pinning her onto the deck. Ayaka lifted her anchor and jumped forward, dropping it into Cuteness and crushing her entire lower body into mush.

“Graahhhhh!” Cuteness teleported away, leaving behind her mushed flesh on the ship. “Oh my good friendly visitor~ where have you gone?” Ayaka lifted her thumb to the air and closed her eyes. She lowered her thumb and licked it to get a feel of the weather but alas taste buds did not function in that way.

“A moment of silence? How rare.” She stood behind the helm of the ship as the nearby buildings were decimated by the slow but mighty movement of the ship. It was only a couple more seconds or maybe minutes before she reached her destination. Or maybe she already has? These buildings are too high and the dark sky left things a mystery. Who knows if she already crashed onto the building that person was standing on.

"Sunshine After Rain!"

She stepped to the side and began running on the watery deck as a rainbow beam rained down from the sky. With every step she splattered water everywhere and with every second the beam followed her quickly, vaporizing the water. “Cannons!”

She was lifted into the air by a wave of water as cannons arose from the sides of the ship, aiming up at the sky. “Fire!” The rainbow beam stopped as she yelled out the command which was followed by a barrage of metal cannonballs.

The balls struck at the origin of the beam, colliding with one another and exploding loudly in the sky. “Looks like bird is back on the menu~” Cuteness teleported next to Ayaka, “Bear Hug” and swooped towards her with big fluffy teddy bear hands. Ayaka shoved her hands forward and grabbed onto the paws, their monstrous strengths clashing hard.

“Harpo-”

A bullet shot through the air, piercing Cuteness and ripping into Ayaka, passing and leaving a hole on her stomach and coat. She let out a groan of pain as her arms began to slowly lose the clash of strength. “It's so sad a Magical Girl like you doesn't have strong defense or extremely fast regeneration like me!”

“Harpoon!” A loud harpoon shot up from the water on the deck and missed Cuteness as she disappeared in the air. Ayaka turned around, her lungs working overtime as the pain in her body began to spread once again.

“Sparkle Sparkle Kaboom!” Cuteness appeared with a cute pose as a blast of magic launched Ayaka bouncing across the deck. She flexed her legs and shot through the air, her wings flapping fast. Cuteness pounced onto Ayaka and pointed her wand down, sending another blast of cuteness.The water around them scattering everywhere from the impact of the hit.

The water spun and stabbed onto Cuteness, multiple differently shaped spikes, piercing and lifting her up to the sky. “Ohoho! Do you really think this does anything?” Ayaka wiped the blood off her face and raised her hand up, grabbing all the water around her and launching a massive beam which ripped Cuteness into shreds.

“Sails up! And Chaaaarge!!!” An arm sprouted up from the ship and lifted Ayaka up, her body about to break into pieces after taking all the hits since the beginning of the fight.

The ship's sails were fully opened and the storm’s wind launched the ship across the city, ravaging all the roads and toppling all the buildings down onto the ground. A shot rained down from onto the sky, ripping through the droplets of water and onto her shoulder. She glanced up, her eyes locked high up into the roof of a nearby building.

“CAPTURE!!!” Hundreds of hands the sizes of cars shot up from the front of the ship, elongating in size and rising towards the top of the building. The ship crashed onto the building, snapping its bottom floors and forcing it to fall over onto the ship. Multiple smaller hands shot up from the deck of the ship shielding Ayaka from the rubbles. “I FOUND YOU!” A person fell from the building, gliding down slowly with a parachute in the dark sky.

“Aim…” The cannons on the ship rose up from the side once more and took proper aim at the gliding girl. She raised her arm and breathed a large amount of air. “FIIIIRE!” The cannons shot multiple times as the hands all shot up towards the person, slamming into her and wrapping her in water as the metal cannonballs exploded.

Ayaka fell back as the barrage happened, her body being caught by a glob of water which molded itself to a metal chair for her. She moved her hand over her wounds, feeling the blood dripping onto her hands. She moved her hand onto her neck, feeling the cold metal that brought her so much pain. Her heart was beating louder than the sound of the rain dropping onto the deck of the ship.

She felt truly alive.

“Ahh tsk tsk tsk! You murderer killed my maid just like that? That wasn't very cute.”

Ayaka smirked and stood up from her chair. “Hypocrites are the worst, wouldn't you agree? I mean understanding oneself should be done before one rambles their mouth like this.”

“Hmm? If we compare numbers just this tantrum of yours caused so many lives. I mean look at the number of buildings you demolished. Isn't a Magical Girl supposed to prevent any of these? Such destructive behavior is definitely far from cute and I think even you would agree with that.”

“Oh~ I don't care.”

“Huh?”

“I have been so selfish lately, straying from my title as the ‘magical girl of abyss’. I have developed emotions and feelings, unfortunately these are the opposite of what I should be doing. I should be here being a free flowing husk, lacking any care and moving through invasion through invasion, being an abyss. But! I see it clearly, my happiness comes first and I have decided! Either I die now or I will quit!”

Ayaka's feet were carried by the water on the deck, quickly pushing her towards Cuteness. She slammed her hand onto her enemy’s side, launching her to the ground. Cuteness shoved her arm to the ground and braced her impact. She rolled to the side, splattering water as an anchor fell onto the spot she was laying on.

Ayaka lifted the anchor and threw it into the air, jumping into the sky and dropping her elbow on Cuteness. Cuteness disappeared and reappeared on Ayaka's back, shooting a beam from her wand. Ayaka was pulled by the water on the deck, dodging the beam and lifting her back up.

“Rabbit Mayhem!” Cuteness bounced up and down, spinning in the sky and summoning a rifle in her hands. “Harpoon!” Ayaka fell forward, dodging the bullets as a harpoon shot up from the ground, stabbing the gun and breaking it. Cuteness clapped her hands and summoned her wand back, swinging it down towards Ayaka.

Ayaka was pulled by the water, planting her feet onto the ground. Cuteness pulled her wand back and channeled her magic into the wand. Water jumped from the deck and pushed the wand to the side sending the blast to the ground. Ayaka turned her entire body and grabbed the falling anchor behind her, she then turned back and swung the anchor, knocking and tossing Cuteness onto the ground.

“Damn it! I had enough.” Cuteness teleported high into the sky. She grabbed onto her wand using both of her hands and closed her eyes. “My cute enough ally go attack her!” A phone appeared in front of the wand and fell to the ground.

The loud noise of a telephone rang out on the battlefield. Cutting through the constant sound of raindrops. The telephone stopped ringing and then suddenly a being of magic and intellect sprung out of the small screen.

“The magical girl of Knowledge has arrived!” She appeared on the floor of the deck, her entire body immediately being soaked by the strong waves on board. “Eew! Take better management of your ship.”

“Knowledge~ That sounds familiar… Ahh, I Didn't know there was gonna be a traitor in the group.” Ayaka breathed heavily and threw her anchor to the girl. Knowledge turned into static and bounced up onto the top of the anchor. “A traitor? I don't think I met you before? Only that birdie in the sky.”

“Birdie? I guess we two can agree on something~ that prick over there is nothing but a little birdie.”

Knowledge jumped onto the air and spun around, an opened book with a long rod stabbed onto it appearing in her hands. Ayaka raised her hands up and stopped the hammer mid air, grabbing onto the notebook and tossing it to the side. Knowledge was flung to the side, her body falling onto the water and disappearing, reappearing on the ground behind Ayaka, sliding in the water and kicking Ayaka’s legs.

She lost balance and fell to the ground, the water catching her and throwing her to the sky. Knowledge jumped up and swung her hammer down. Ayaka, dropped onto the hammer and spun in the air, grabbing it and tossing Knowledge to the ground. Knowledge was slammed onto the deck, her body scattering into static before teleporting right back in front of Ayaka, swinging her hammer once again.

Ayaka was struck, blood exploding out of her mouth as she plummeted into the water, sinking into the waves. “Harpoon!” Knowledge turned to the side and smacked the harpoon to the ground. She grinned and flew into the spot where Ayaka landed.

A hand made of water slammed onto Knowledge and stabbed onto her body. She exploded into static and jumped back, the static reconstructing into her. She lifted her hammer and cleaned up her suit filled with bloodied holes.

“How messy! I should rip your skin off and use it as my suit.”

“Huh? Then I should rip off your flesh and eat it then~.” She said, wiping off the blood on her smug grin.

Ayaka sluggishly slammed her foot to the ground which tossed a harpoon into the air. She grabbed the harpoon and took a shooting position. Knowledge licked her lips and lifted her hammer over her shoulder, taking the stance of a baseball player.

“Aim…” Ayaka tossed the harpoon using her brutish strength, launching it at fast speeds. The harpoon ripped through the sky, not aiming at all at Knowledge and speeding towards a person in the sky. Still deep in concentration, Cuteness was pierced by the harpoon, her body being launched alongside the harpoon embedded inside her. “Bingo.”

Ayaka grabbed onto the rope made of water and pulled onto it, forcing Cuteness to plummet towards her. “Ohohoho this is enough!” Ayaka raised her other hand and coated it in a large amount of water.

“Fill it in and let it BURST!” Cuteness' wand began to shine as glimpses of rainbows began to escape. “Oopsie~ I made a mistake.” Ayaka’s entire body was covered by a bright shining light, an entire rainbow’s might slamming into her already weakened body.
