“GAH!”
“Donavin!”
Donvain flew back, his weapon smashing to the ground in half. The soldier himself collapsed to the ground with a wide gash across his torso and with multiple cuts across his limbs. A grunt left him as slowly he stood up again, “Ugh, oof, shit! This guy is too much!”
With the words spoken he fell back. Standing before him, battered and bleeding, was Carbon. Despite the injuries and his heavy breathing he stood with a smirk, looking at the three around him, “Heh, heh heh. Oh this is great! I haven’t been hit like this by normal people in a long damn time. What else can you three do, eh?”517Please respect copyright.PENANAjesBgPP6AK
“Dammit, Donavin, get up!” came the yell of Razor.
“Let’s see, who goes next eh? Mmm, I pick-” Carbon began, stopping mid-sentence with eyes going back and forth between Razor and Nani.
“Me!” Donavin yelled, his hand in his pocket.
In a mere second Donavin pulled out a small handgun and opened fire. Carbon laughed as the bullets hit him, “Oh please, heh ha ha. You soldiers are so persistent. Haven’t you learned though that I can’t be killed?”
“Fucker!” Nani yelled, her hand pulling from her own pocket with a grenade in hand, “Donavin!”
The grenade was then tossed straight at a turning Carbon, his sword held up ready to swing. Donavin held his gun out, “Fucker, drop dead!”
KAPOW!
“Shit, my eyes!” Carbon bellowed, swinging the sword in the process, “Do you know how long it’ll take for those to heal!?”
BANG!!!
Just as it touched his chest it went, the blast blowing Carbon straight back with his sword flying from his hands. Back he crashed, slamming straight into the ground with the entire front of his body blown open. Blood and guts flew out, spraying all over the ground with bones tossed through the air to crash. His throat rested spewed blood, torn open along with the torso. His jaw mangled, painted red with splatters of red straight up his whole face to the forehead nearly. On his back he remained, eyes shut.
“Oh my,” he gurgled, blood washing right out of his mouth, “That stings.”
His back arched, legs bending at the knee, hobbling onto his upper back as if he were somersaulting before his whole body sprung forward. Landing atop his feet the remainder of his organs fell, flesh hanging. His clothes flopped down leaving just his shoes and underwear on, “My my, what’s with you people?”
“H-how is he-”
“Here, let me show you,” Carbon mumble pulling from his pants pocket a pistol.
Carbon’s arm extended, the gun cocked ready to fire and aimed at Donavin. Donavin slumped back with quivering eyes, Nani’s voice heard, “Donavin!”
“Bastard!” Razor spat pulling the triggers on his gun to no avail as it was now out of ammo.
KAPOW!
“Uyahh!” Donavin yelped, falling backwards flat to the ground bleeding at the right ear.
The ear itself flopped to the ground, blown right off right beside Donavin. Both Razor and Nani took charge at once, their weapons dropped to the ground and simple combat knives then pulled out.
“Ah shit, sorry I have terrible aim with this thing!” Carbon laughed stumbling forward towards Donavin, gun held forward with a quiver, “Let me try again.”
The ground behind crunched, Carbon stopping. Slowly his head began to turn at which point the sound of something sharp flying through the air came forward.
“FWAHHH- the flying fu?”
A loud clang was then heard just behind Carbon’s body, the latter of which dropped to its knees. A thud could be heard, then the kicking of rock and a roll. The body slumped forward, collapsing straight to the ground with another thud. Behind stood Sinno, the grip and snath of the weapon in hand. Her wound continued to bleed, her breath heavy as she looked down upon it.
“Captain!” Razor yelled.
“N-Nani, help Donavin. R-R-Razor, them!” she groaned pointing with a slight quiver towards the fight with Satori and the others of Shadow Squadron.
With nods the two splintered off, leaving Sinno to drop to her knees. Just ahead of her rested Carbon’s head looking right at her, the eyes now open, “How did you move so fast with a fucking tear in your side? I cut you deep!”
With a huff and a slight grin she looked right to the head, “E-easily the four- fourth worst wound I’ve had. Not the worst.”
“What?”
“Satori didn’t say much, did he? Heh, been following me for years and he doesn’t share about me. Wh-when The Church found me I-I had an arm torn off and had my side torn wide open. My jaw and legs were broken… and to this day, I have no memory of how that happened or what happened before it. That, that was the worst.”
“The hell was the second or third?!”
“I got stabbed in the gut by a guy with a big fist and spiked gloves. Went right through me as if I were wet toilet paper. That was third. Second was when a bomb went off in my face. Nearly killed me.”
“Tch, only fourth worst compared to all that? I’ll have to work on my aim,” Carbon chuckled.
Sinno’s eyes shook, a figure rising before her. Carbon’s body had begun to rise, hands pressed to the ground pushing the whole back to its knees. With a slightly loft to the side it then stood, balance shifting until finally it stood stationary. Carbon chuckled, his head still on the ground, “Suffice to say, I told you earlier what won’t kill me. Take my brain off and I can still respond accordingly. Heh, really I can control my body like a wireless remote.”
“Y-you know, funny thing about immortals. Can you survive being turned to ash? If you don’t have a body to regenerate from, aren’t you dead?”
“I uh, well… shit. You there, kill her!”
The body stiffened, whirling quickly around on both feet with a firm stomp, arms our and hands at the ready to grab. Sinno simply grinned. Carbon raised an eye, the other half shut. Sinno then looked to the body and then to the head before going back to the body, “Seriously? Not sure if the command was just a trick or not but, heh. A body without a head is still not much of a threat.”
“Still enough to kill a blabber mouthed bass!”517Please respect copyright.PENANAYbmFsOWyAo

Ripples of air punched forward, visible as rings of distortion. These rings slammed straight into the armor of the Cyborg Mamba, enough force behind those ripples to blow it back yet again. With but a flip though it landed, claws dragging across the land.
“Damn this thing has some tough armor. I can’t even get near it to use my technique on its body. Ugh, if I could just touch it,” Shawn mumbled.
A shriek left the creature, its left back leg scrapping at the ground, the beast sent lunging forward once more. Shawn rolled right, narrowly evading as it skimmed on by, chomping through the air. It rolled, tumbling before collapsing back on its feet. Shawn on the other hand simply tumbled onto his side, “Blast it, there has to be a way! Tch. Oh?”
The creature let forth a hiss, its throat inflating and deflating more than just a bit, a heavy breathing audible. Shawn blinked, looking right to it, “It’s… tired? How in the heck? Oh wait, could it be that its cybernetic pieces don’t help its stamina? Heck, why not, maybe they even slow it down more!”
Shawn took stance again, standing at the ready holding his breath while the creature let out a low growl. Shawn grinned, “{Add in the rocks, the blows, heh. This tank isn’t so tanky after all!}”
Another roar then left the beast, its jaw snapping as it once more shot at Shawn.517Please respect copyright.PENANA0gqzcCjP9n

Satori’s head shifted, looking off at the individual fights. At present Carbon’s head was still on, at present Shawn was still flipping around, and at present Ellie & Shurren were still fighting many dolls.
“HA, HYA, HRRRAAA!” Ellie yelled, her twin blades flinging around wildly.
The blades had turned black and grown longer, slamming straight into the dolls and carrying on to impale others. Behind Shurren shot around, slashing and burning away the enemy.
“What’s your count at Shurren?”
“Eh, you know, twenty-six.”
“HA! Twenty-seven.”
“You suck!”
Both moved back to back again, their weapons held out as dozens of cloaked figures stood around them a fair distance out to avoid being struck down early.
“That said, I think we’re in trouble. These things are multiplying Ellie.”
“Tell me something I don’t know Shurren. That masked bastard keeps spawning in more of them.”
“At this rate we’re the ones who’ll be cut down Ellie. Your sword skills are getting sloppy and I’m about out of fire and stamina.”
“Damn. These guys caught us off guard and tore half of Shadow Squadron away. They planned this perfectly. What are they, A-Class in level?”517Please respect copyright.PENANAYvDpQBBsVx
“Class has nothing to do with it, they’re just that damn skilled. On your right!”517Please respect copyright.PENANAsbUQ9snlOI
Two of the dolls moved at Ellie’s side, two that were quickly slammed down with blades at the tops of their skulls, Ellie’s body turning with a swing decapitating them at once. As those two fell, more came in, the crowd around the two warriors growing with Satori off to the side watching with a cocked head, “Well, they’re persistent I’ll give them that. Heh heh heh,” his voice echoed, “Things are going well for them.”
Glancing again he watched Satori’s body flip back up, watched as his dolls ran at the charging Razor and the downed Donavin with Nani at his side, watched as Shawn fumbled dodging the tail of the Cyborg Scorupi, “Heh, but at this rate, it hardly matters.”
