Immortal Chapter 8: Yansei no Yoso

The rain poured as three hunters remained silent. With two of their numbers down, they were selecting their targets carefully. The first of the three a short women smiling as she moved towards the third sector. Terra already up told Ishi to wait at the Dojo. Standing out of the rain Ishi sighed watching his commander. With a sigh he stared at his commander who was getting extremely soaked. He let out s small snort and narrowed his eyes.

"Come out, If you can't tell it's a little wet," Terra grunted softly as his short tail swished. Suddenly a dagger zipped from his side cutting across his arm. He let out a small huff and narrowed his eyes. "Either a terrible shot or your showing off," He looked back in the direction. Another came at him strait to his face. Raising his hand he knocked it away with a firm flick. "Well you're a fat one aren't you," A blonde haired women stepped form the shadows. She lunged forward and he quickly swayed his arm knocking her away. She let out a grunt and pushed off the floor lunging at him.

With a loud laugh she swipped a dagger at his face nearly taking one of his tusks. With a grunt he lifted his hand to catch her but she zipped away. She was very fast compared to the larger commander. The women laughed standing before his her fingers full of daggers. "What's wrong big boy can't keep up?" She mocked and tossed a few at him. The daggers dug deep into his stomach and he let out a grunt. Suddenly almost like rubber the two dagger bounced off his stomach. Flying past her they slammed into the walls behind her imbedding themselves. Terra let out a loud laugh and patted his big gut. "There's a reason for this belly little miss, you see a lot of people have tried and no one has ever been able to penetrate it," He snorted softly.

"So you fat ass you think it can't be ripped open!" She roared and rushed forward. Swinging wildly she stabbed at his stomach over and over. Each hit simply bounced back pushing her hand away. She let out a frustrated roar and punched his gut. She gasped as it did not bounce back and her hand was stuck. "Hey let me go you bastard!" She demanded. He released his breath and suddenly the force of her own punch shoved her back. He sighed and scratched the back of his head. "Well kiddo if that's all your going to do then I guess theirs no point in attacking you," He sighed. She growled and raised her hand water rushing to it. She tossed her hand forward and a blast of water knocked him back.

With a loud grunt, he hit the wall. The wall collapsed on top of him. Ishi gasped wanting to run to his master but knowing he would be in danger if he did. The women didn't scare him at all but commander Terra was horrifying when he was fighting. She looked at him and smiled widely. "So I guess you're next huh?" She stepped forward and the rubble cracked. Instantly it blasted off in every direction showing Terra underneath smiling. "Well now wasn't that fun," Terra smiled.

The women gasped and gripped her fists tightly. "How are you still alive?" She clenched her fists in anger. "I'm an earth elemental miss, no earth can kill me," Terra rubbed his belly. Suddenly his disposition changed drastically. His smile faded as he took her as a threat without question. "Quake with fear, Tremor and shake, Rumble Mutter Erde!" He ordered and all the rubble behind him turned to sand. It rushed to his hand and formed a large war hammer in his palm. Lifting the massive piece of steel, he rested it on his shoulder. The ground under his feet cracking as it tried to support his weight. The head of the hammer coming out to sharp points. The other end having a sharp pick ax like point.

Shaking slightly she could feel his energy swarming around him. She could feel it pulse through the ground under her very feet and throb like a living animal. He took a single step forward and the entire earth seemed to tremble. Like a monster, she stepped back in fear. "I apologize for this...I never enjoy killing," He grasped his hammer handle. Swinging his mighty hammer, he let out more energy than any of his brothers. With that single motion at thirty feet from one another, it was like hitting the girl head on. She went still and shook roughly with fear. "Farewell," He turned away and suddenly her entire body blasted away.

"Thank you Mutter Erde...I'm sorry to have to call upon you for such a weak opponent, forgive me," he sighed. The weapon shattered and he smiled softly. "Why do you talk to your Yoso commander?" Ishi looked up. "All Yoso's are alive child, they are our inner will...If you do not fight as a team you will never truly fight at all," He explained and went back to bed. Ishi took a moment before returning to bed as well.

Meanwhile on the lowest ring of Halo the second to last hunter cautiously moved about. Suddenly a flash of lighting let out and he turned. His sword slicing a statue in half quickly. With a growl, he turned as a wave splashed up over the edge of the ring. Water splashed across the ground hitting an umbrella behind the man. Hearing the difference in sound behind him, he quickly turned. He gasped and his eyes widened seeing Yoko and Cerce standing directly behind him. Yoko holding the umbrella over his mask covered master. "My my my, how did you get so lost that you found your way down here?" He spoke. A soft cackle let out of his exposed teeth under the mask.

"Who the hell are you?" The man yelled to the two. "I am lord Cerce of research and development, and what name may I put on your experiment file?" Cerce's eye gleamed at him. The man narrowed his eyes and lifted his sword. "I am Nobu," He spoke softly and Yoko closed to umbrella. Putting it away, Yoko stepped back to be out of his master's way. Nobu rushed forward to attack. Cerce didn't even make an effort to move the blade simply slicing him in half. Cerce smiled wider as Nobu looked back at him.

"What? What are you?" He gasped as both halves of his body pulled together. "How bothersome, I've been trying so hard to keep people from seeing this," He turned looking at him. His mask feel off his face cracked in half. Cerces once beautiful face was now much different. His nose, lips, ears, eyelids, and cheeks had all been sliced down to a perfectly flat surface. All excess flesh that isn't necessary sliced off by Cerce himself. All of false bone visible through his skin as he smiled. "You see I truly hate my normal face, I find this one much easier to use, without those bothersome appearance I'm taken much more seriously," His visible opaque muscle bending to show he's smiling. "I am able to force my cells back into my physical form quite easily," He continued and stepped forward Nobu raising his sword.

Slashing at him over and over his sword cutting him very easily. Soon Cerce was nothing more than tiny pieces upon the ground. "Let's see you reform from that!" Nobu laughed. His laugh was drowned out by Cerce's loud howling cackle. "Only an idiot would think I'm killed that easily, I'm begging to wonder if your truly worth my time," All of the pieces sloshed back together morphing upwards. His body reformed quickly until he stood just as he had before. Nobu stood shaking not sure how this man could possibly still be alive. "Lash out Denki Doku," Cerce smiled putting on a new mask. His other sleeve suddenly exploded as his entire arm formed five long whips. Each of them a translucent blue as they lashed forward. Each of them snapping on the ground around Nobu sparks of electricity flying off them.

Nobu raised his arms to protect himself from the sparks. One hitting him with such force that it felt like a lightning bolt. Blasting him back suddenly one of the whips wrapped around his leg. Letting out a loud yell he was lifted up and tossed back. A new scar around his leg from the thousands of stinging cells that stung him. "So now...that my venom is coursing through your body, I believe it was exactly four hundred thousand individual stings," He laughed stepped forward. Nobu tried to yell but suddenly found his entire body was limp. Numbness moved through his entire being down to his soul.

"Stage one: total paralysis of the victims body," Cerce started "Stage two: complete and total searing pain as your nerve are destroyed," He smiled. Nobu let out a loud scream in utter pain. Every inch of his body throbbed as if it was on fire. His teeth felt as if they were being pulled from his mouth. His arms felt as if they were going through a meat grinder. "I can only imagine the pain you're feeling, I myself have no pain receptors in my nervous system so I am completely devoid of the sensation," He reached down touching his leg. Suddenly a hole appearing as the meat rotted away to the bone. "Stage three: Necrosis of the flesh sets in upon a touch of my hand," His smile faded as he turned to walk away. "I'm so sorry but I lose interest at this point, you've already lost consciousness," He sighed.

"But If you must know, Stage 4 is the most interesting, you're bodies inflammatory response turns on and losses the power to stop. You'll keep expanding until simply your skin can no longer hold it," He sighed as Yoko jumped in front of him with the umbrella opened. Nobu's body inflated suddenly the skin turning a bright red. With loud ripping sounds his skin tore. Suddenly his entire body exploded into a fine mush. "Yoko you stupid boy you missed a spot now clean it up!" Cerce motioned to a single spot of blood that had landed on his hand. Without a word, Yoko leaned down and lapped up the blood with his tongue. Cerce smiled and let his whips move around the young boy. "Would you like to feel that pain as well?" He smiled and Yoko nodded wanting the full experience of his venom. "Hm...What a boring answers," He scoffed as his tentacles reformed his arm.

Meanwhile Luna stood before the figure outside the hospital. Without a word, she raised the crossbow at her sides and fired a shot. The shot glowing brightly as a blast of pure energy. Luna raised her hand her gauntlet forming instantly. The great wolf opened its mouth and grabbed the blast. It stopped it dead in its trajectory and phased out completely. The gauntlet growled and hissed softly the women shaking. "Why?" She yelled making Luna gasp. "Why did you allow my parent's to die? If you have so much power then why didn't you stop that plain form crashing?" She nearly screamed. Her eyes welled with tears and her face became a dark flushed red.

"Child we have no say in the matters of the living," Luna sighed lowering her arm. "There choices are their own we cannot have any say in how they pass," Luna continued and suddenly a flurry of shots erupted. Each blast rushing forward aimed randomly at the hospital instead of just her. Fearing not only her own safety but the safety of the people inside she made a quick decision. "Yansei no Yoso! Toketsi Kori no Aijin!" She ordered and her gauntlet shatters. Instantly a blizzard of intense cold and energy erupted from the shattered particles. Wrapping around the whole of Halo everyone quickly took for cover as the snow blasted through the streets. The extreme chilling cold and wind overwhelmed the bolts fazing them out.

As the blizzard faded and all the energy returned to its master its showed the girl stood unharmed. Her gloved hands frozen to the crossbow. Her shoes frozen in place to the ground. "Toketsi Kori no Aijin cannot harm any living thing if I order her not too, she is the true form of my soul," She explained and came up to her. Placing her hands on the crossbow, she helped the girl lower it. Suddenly the girl latched onto his crying hard releasing her weapon. Luna wrapped her arms around her and held her tightly. "It shall be ok child, I promise," She hummed.

Before them Ligeron and Andreas appeared. "So one of the hunters?" Andreas asked and she nodded. "She is under my protection for this time," Luna helped her to her feet. Carefully she lead her inside and Ligeron looked at his mate. "Shall we allow this?" He asked and Andreas smirked softly. "Of course we will, we have a city to thaw out before we can worry about one hunter," He laughed and jumped up swiftly onto a building incased in ice. With a stomp, it cracked and the building was released. This new hunter may prove a valuable ally or a horrible enemy.
