Nerve of Steel

Tenganan village is devastated already, yet the villagers are still safe on the shelters as Darz, Harz, and Larz are still able to survive from Franz's terror.

'Come on, just give up already. You know that you are no match for me.' Franz is underestimating them.

Darz, Harz, and Larz get up with the trembling bodies of them.

'Even so, I will never let the despicable ruffian like you destroy this world.' Harz said.

'We will always protect this world even if it costs our life!' Larz exclaimed.

'We have to fight, for this world.' Darz said.

'Saving this world, protecting this world, for this world, bullshit! What is protecting the world that makes your life miserable for?' Franz keeps provoking them.

'A despicable ruffian like you won't understand that!' Darz exclaimed leaping sending a slash attack from her high heel.

Franz blocks it with the blade of his sword. Darz darts a shiv from her sleeve. Franz spontaneously rises his head to evade it. He sees Harz comes to him from the sky. Franz is about to escape, but the iron bars come out from the ground restrain his legs as white feathers fall touching his body. As Harz is close enough to slash Franz, he slashes Franz's neck, but suddenly a whole of his body turns into a snakeskin.

Suddenly, the three are being twisted by Sunekuo. Franz appears from there giving them a slow applause.

'Wonderful, what a magnificent teamwork.' He said. 'But, too bad it's all over.' He added.

Suddenly Franz falls to his knee. Both of his eyes become heavy all of sudden. Sunekuo disappears letting they three off.

'You fucking bastard! What the hell have you done to me?!' Franz exclaimed pissed off.

'Did you forget what my power is?' Harz asked.

'Don't tell me! That white feathers!' Franz exclaimed.

'Correct, my white sword, Wolimba, can produce white feathers every time I unsheathe my sword. These feathers can make those who touch it have a deep sleep' Harz explained.

'At this rate, you can't do anything!' Larz exclaimed restraining both of Franz's hand with the blade of his sword.

'Guess you fail, eh?' Darz said.

'If only they were not that reckless, such causalities wouldn't have happened.' Harz sighed.

'Well, they deserve it though.' Larz said.

'I concur.' Harz said.

'What's wrong with both of you anyway?!' Darz exclaimed pissed off.

Franz chuckles all of sudden making three of them vigilant.

'Don't get so cocky.' Franz summoning Sunekuo.

Sunekuo twists him tightly. Darz tries to stop it by darting a shiv to its skin, but its skin is too slippery that the shiv is unable to pierce it. The twisting is getting tight even more that his body bursts out. Larz then stabs his sword to the ground.

'Kerangkeng Mammoth! (Mammoth Cage)' Larz exclaimed spreading those iron bars around Sunekuo.

Those iron bars spreading forming parabola angle over Sunekuo shoving it crashing the ground as a mammoth with boar head fossil restrains it. Remember, Larz represents boar, yet I have no time, or precisely I can't describe it, so I leave it to your imagination.

'You won't get away.' Larz said.

Sunekuo spits blue slime and it shrinks into a dead skin. The slime is wriggling. Darz darts some shives, yet they are melted by it. The slime forms a figure, and yes, it's Franz.

'What?!' Darz, Harz, and Larz exclaimed.

'Fufufu... Too bad, remember, the prey will never be able to kill a predator.' Franz said.

'That's right, the food chain is absolute, yet for your information, when the preys are united, a mere predator isn't a big deal for them.' Harz explained.

'Prove me wrong.' Franz said 'Darbee Phinish Lain!' Franz exclaimed stretching out his right arm as he expanding the blade and swinging it clockwise.

'Lahan Sengketa! (Dispute Lot)' Larz exclaimed welding the blade into a sheet of a big and thick iron wall to shield three of them.

Franz's sword blade whips that big iron wall. The wall is able to hold the damage, yet Franz keeps shoving it with more force making the iron gets torn apart little by little. They three then jump evading the whip. Harz unsheathes his sword launching the white feathers to Franz. Franz obliterates them by whipping it.

'The same trick won't do twice!' Franz exclaimed extending the blade to Harz's direction.

Larz welds the blade into a whip and exclaims, 'Sapi Liar! (Wild Bull)' Larz swings the whip catching Franz's sword blade.

Larz lands on fluffy white feathers platform that had been set by Harz before. Larz tries to pull his whip to at least, dismantle Franz. Harz and Darz take this chance for a counter-attack. Realizing that, Franz lets go of his sword that the blade goes berserk twisting Larz tightly. Franz summons Sunekuo who has turned into his clone. Harz is dashing with his sword launching those white feathers, and Darz is in the midair spinning herself vertically with shivs on her stretched out legs and hands.

'Teknik Jitu: Domba Pemimpi! (Ultimate Technique: Dreamy Sheep)' Harz exclaimed.

'Teknik Jitu: Putaran Bulan! (Ultimate Technique: Moon Spinning)' Darz exclaimed.

Both of Franz points their cloaked in blue Iru palm to the front making them able to block Harz and Darz fatal blows.

'What is happening?!' Darz exclaimed shocked.

Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

'This stance! You!' Harz exclaimed shocked..

Franz chuckles.

'Don't tell me! It's the sages technique!' Harz exclaimed shocked.

Franz smirks and says, 'Of course it is. I am sure you know what technique it is.'

'Sir Wayan' technique, Doki-doki Wiping.' Darz said agitatedly.

'Correct. Say goodbye to your powers, sheep, rabbit.' Franz said.

Both of them close their eyes as they don't know what to do.

"I'm sorry. I failed." They said in their mind desperately.

When Franz is about to drain their power, suddenly both of them are sent flying by a hard hit. Darz and Harz are shocked seeing the one who saved both of them.

'We are watching from above. If something happens down there, we'll descend to solve it. We are... Sky Bandit.' It's Katon.

'Are you guys okay?' Katon letting Larz off his shoulder.

'Yeah, thanks.' Larz replied.

'Shit! I'm late!' Katon exclaimed pissed off seeing Indra, Reza and Iqbal lying unconscious there.

'No, they are not dead yet. A Doki-doki user can be considered dead when his body literally disappears. Seeing from their condition, They are not fully dead yet.' Harz explained.

'Then, we have to take care of them immediately!' Katon exclaimed.

'If only we could, we would have done it in the first place.' Darz said agitatedly.

'We have to do something with that guy over there.' Larz added.

Franz gets up immediately. He looks pissed off.

'Tsk, another troublemaker eh?' He said upset.

'He is..?!!' Katon exclaimed shocked.

'We were shocked at first knowing that he has been a member of Waku-waku all this time. Stay alert, he is really strong that he managed to kill the other Swordsmen of the Stars.' Harz said.

'It means... Carz too?!' Katon asked shocked.

Harz nods.

"What do I do? This guy is very dangerous!! There's no way out! I must not always depend on the boss!" Katon becomes agitated even more.

'Hey! Why the hell are you doing this?!' Katon reprimanded Franz.

'Make me if you can!' Franz swings his sword to Katon.

'Watch out! His whip is deadly!' Harz warned Katon.

Katon counters the whip by hitting it with his cloaked-in-Iru-staff.

'What?!' Franz exclaimed shocked.

'Deadly you say? It's even unable to make a scratch on my staff.' Katon said. 'I just changed the material into Alumina and hardened it a bit with my Iru. Speaking of disappointment.' He added.

'What a cocky lowly scum.' Franz said.

"Indra, Reza, Iqbal, I will avenge you," Katon said in his mind.

Franz's sword and Katon's staff are clashing. Franz is getting irritated knowing Katon can match him.

'You are not bad. Mind telling me your secret?' Franz asked keeping swinging his sword.

'Guts.' Katon replied blocking those slashes with his staff.

Both of those weapons are clashing. Both of them are not hesitant to kill each other.

"All this time, I always depend on them. The agile Indra, the magnificent teamwork of Iqbal & Reza, and the overpowering boss Koji. I am always underestimated even before joined with them. Now, I am not Katon, the nerdy inferior novelist anymore!" Katon pulls Alumina spear from his waist and uses it to impale Franz's abdomen.

Harz launches the white feathers to Franz, and Larz swiftly restrains Franz's hands, legs, and neck. Each iron bar that restrains Franz's body parts is stretching out pulling his body parts. Darz darts many shivs to him. Those shivs are coming to Franz at high speed.

'With your current condition, you will not be able to do anything! Die!' Darz exclaimed.

Franz opens his mouth, and suddenly a great snake comes out from it destroying those launched shivs and letting Franz off of the Larz's shackles.

'Fufufu... Didn't expect that I have to show you this form.' Franz's skin looks pale like snake skin.

His slippery, slimy, and white with blue spots skin makes him looks like a dreadful creature. Katon then appears from the midair ready to hit Franz with his staff. Franz then shields his face with his long arm breaking Katon's staff. Katon is shocked seeing it. Franz smirks and sends Katon a heavy whip with his long arm.

'Lantunan Surga! (Heaven Lullaby)' Harz exclaimed swinging his sword creating a white curvature made of white feathers.

The curvature catches Katon's body and heals him.

'Are you alright, Katon?' Harz asked.

'Yes, I am okay. thanks.' Katon jumps from that curvature.

Franz launches three snakes to Indra, Reza and Iqbal. Their bodies are getting penetrated by those snakes and their bodies vanish in a jiffy.

"NO!!!!" Katon shouted.

'Bring it on!' Franz launches four snakes in their directions.

'Jala Nelayan! (Fisherman's Net)' Larz raises his sword.

The blade spreads out into four blades coming to those snakes, but those snakes destroy those iron blades instead.

'Begal! (Robbery)' Darz swings her arm darting four mini axes from her sleeve to those snakes, but those snakes destroy those mini axes instead.

Those snakes are getting closer. Harz, Larz, and Darz are cornered. They have no idea what to do, but...

'BRACHIO!' Those snakes are devastated in a single swing.

It's Katon. The shaft of black metallic staff of his surrounding him spirally and the end which resembles a dinosaur's head is wobbling over his head.

'Oh, interesting. Finally, a worthy opponent to fight with.' Franz is intrigued.

'I didn't expect that I have to show you this form either. Let's see who'll win. Your snake sword? Or my dinosaur staff?' Katon challenged him.

Franz launches a great snake from his mouth to Katon's direction. When it hits the shaft, the snake bursts out all of sudden.

'Oh, what a nice staff. What material is it made of?' Franz asked.

'Steel.' Katon replied.

'Steel? How is it possible regarding he used Alumina before?!' Darz is confused.

'That guy... He..!!!' Larz is trembling.

'Well, that's possible actually. Darz, do you remember the levels of Doki-doki? He has reached level 3 like Larz, in fact, he has mastered it perfectly.' Harz explained.

'Abiofusi. An ability to fuse Ribo and Jowa into one ultimate weapon with a certain condition to fulfill.' Darz said shocked.

Harz and Larz nod.

'For now, we shouldn't interfere. If we do, we will just do nothing but burden him.' Harz said.

They three then decide to watch their fight.

'I see. Although the staff is made of steel, you must have fulfilled the condition as I do, right? My sword will be strengthened depending on how corrupt my heart is. How about yours?' Franz points his sword to Katon.

'Nerve.' Katon said. 'The greater my nerve, the harder my staff is. I'm Katon, the member of Sky Bandit with a nerve of steel that harder than diamond!' He added.

'Well then, let's see who's gonna win. Your nerve of steel or my corrupted heart?!' Franz performs a surprise attack by swinging his sword at high speed.

Katon manages to block it. Their weapons are clashing non stop refusing to stop. Franz whips Katon, but the staff shaft counters it by sending Franz flying. Katon then takes a leap and hits Franz crashing the ground really hard. Suddenly, a giant blue snake emerges from the ground to the sky sending Katon flying.

'You know what's so intriguing of becoming the Swordsman of the Stars? You can summon the animal of the star you represent!' Franz is standing on that giant snake's head.

Katon stabs the staff lower end to the ground causing a metallic Brachiosaurus emerges from the ground. Katon is standing right on its head.

"Guys... This is my last resort. I'm sorry." Katon gives a fearless gaze to Franz.

Franz smirks and says, 'Let's end it once and for all!'

'Yeah!' Katon shouted.

Those giant animals' heads are colliding. Katon and Franz take a leap and sending their ultimate blow to each other. Katon manages to hit Franz's head, and Franz manages to impale his sword to Katon's chest. Katon then collapses crashing the ground with the sword on his chest.

Harz, Larz, and Darz are running to Katon's direction. When Franz is about to send his next blow, suddenly he finds himself trapped in a white and black Iru orb.

'What?!' Franz exclaimed looking down.

That's the sages! They are raising their hands to entrap Franz.

'Darz, Harz, Larz. Good job!' Nyoman complimented them.

'Katon, thanks for buying us some time.' Ketut said..

'Now, head to Tanah Lot! Varz needs your assistance!' Made exclaimed.

'Affirmative!' Katon flicks his finger and Pinto arrives wrapping they four into it and fly to the next destination.

'Franz! How dare you do such a disgraceful thing this far! Then, it's time for your punishment! Brace yourself!' Wayan exclaimed.

'Fuck all of you! Waku-waku never dies! Remember that!' Franz is shouting like crazy.

'Teknik Gabungan: Bola Kebajikan! (Combo Technique: Orb of Virtue)' They four shouted.

The orb is cramming Franz's body and bursts him out. The sages are falling to their knee as their Iru had been used to perform such technique. Suddenly, a figure in polka dot cloak with blue color base appear before them.

'You...' Made said panting.

'Right, I am the real one.' He said eradicating the sages in a blink of an eye.

'Waku-waku rules...' He said disappearing by the wind.

"Your Highness Alfi... We leave the world's fate to you." Made said in his mind before his body disappears by the wind completely.
