chapter 8
In the middle of the ocean where the gala is hosted on the yacht, however, their party is suddenly crashed as there's a robbery on the yacht by the League Of Ninjas. While they took the passengers hostage, they all took every valuable they got from this ship.
As Hakai orders his troops to continue searching, one Of his troops alerts his boss that someone is approaching the yacht. When one of the other ninjas uses the binoculars, the latter sees that there is a group riding on the motorboat. Which are the 4 specialists including Eelin on their side.
They inform Hakai that Eelin is now outside that she wasn't supposed to, much to his disbelief.
Once the motorboat stops by after reaching the ship, the 5 starts climbing up then they managed to reach the top so they could confront Hakai and his Troops. While the 4 specialists are now wearing the armor.
"*looks at Eelin.* How is it possible... How did you manage to escape?!" The leader of this league is in disbelief.
"Well, I'm glad I did. And now it's time to end this! I couldn't do it without their help, After I tricked you on sparing their lives!" The girl wearing a lab coat said boldly as she dares to face her so-called boss.
Hakai is angry from this when he realized her deception, but begins to smirk behind his mask, doubting her efforts.
But Jericho and the others stood up for her as they were willing to back her up since they were all angry about what they did to Eelin.
So the battle begins.
Lumi blasts energy stars to aim at the group of ninjas which creates an explosion after they received a blow.
Sukar easily dodges the shurikens and then kicks them off.
Felisa approaches the hostages to free them. Then buy them some time to escape this ship where they boarded on the lifeboat.
Eelin uses her power to magnetically grab the ninja weapons in an attempt to aim at the army. But noticed that Hakai attempted to strike her with his claw gauntlets.
Only Jericho steps in and uses his sword to defend her by blocking the strike.
As he struggles from shielding the attack, the girl wearing a lab coat begins to use her technopathy power to magnetically break both of the claw gauntlets which start to fall apart.
Hakai may lose his weapons, however, Eelin noticed that Hakai is bringing something out. Which is the mechanical-like hilt that was given by Eelin earlier.
So the girl wearing glasses tries to use her powers to get the hilt. But was stopped by the ninja who toss the bolas that tie her up.
Once he brought out the thunderbolt gem that was inside a case, Hakai attaches it to the center of the hilt. After that, the hilt begins to activate its power. The hilt summon a bladed sword that's made out of electricity.
This surprised both of the specialists from seeing this.
"A sword made out of lightning...? *in his mind.* I think I've seen this before..." The white-haired boy thought as he becomes familiar with it.
The girl wearing glasses explains her creation of the device that can grant its power after being attached by that gem.
So Hakai begins to shoot an electrical beam to aim at Jericho and Eelin. Only to be pushed off by Sukar to avoid that attack. Which ended up causing damage on this deck.
Once Jericho cuts off the bolas to free Eelin, he then charges towards Hakai to duel with him, even though the leader of this league is wielding a powerful weapon. Only his sword breaks in half after receiving a single strike by Hakai.
As the leader of this league is cornering the human boy, Jericho asks about the person who goes by the name Mercury if he was involved in invading Alphas operators.
Only to inform him that he was indeed responsible for causing the terrorist attack by letting his crew enter this place after hijacking the security room.
Since he was making deals with them so Mercury could have a chance to kill the human that he hates. But disappointed when he sees the human boy who's with the superiors of this organization. And Hakai only chose to escape since he only wants the thunderbolt gem.
Which Greatly dismayed Mercury since he couldn't have a chance to take down Jericho since he was with the superiors, as he has no chance against them.
He was so angry at him for not facing the superiors just to keep them busy, but Hakai doesn't care as he only wanted to take the gem from the Alphas operators.
Causing Mercury to leave out of frustrations.
As Hakai confirmed that he has not known the current location of Mercury But he doesn't even care, he begins to make a technique using a lightning blade.
When the leader of the league begins to raise his weapon high in the air, it shoots a lightning strike in the sky.
After that, it summon storm clouds. With this, it begins to blast lightning strikes on the deck. Which is the group that they are standing on to.
"*GASP!* Everyone! Move!" Sukar warns the group.
They rush themselves to avoid being struck.
Both Sukar and Felisa have managed to evade it with an enhanced speed.
Lumi uses Golden Defence to shield herself.
While it indirectly blasted on one of unlucky troops as well.
As the white-haired boy wasn't able to get away in time, Eelin magnetically gather all the metal objects over the top of the air in this area where she formed together into a shield barrier to protect him and herself.
But she couldn't handle much longer from the pressure as it continues to strike lightning.
Seeing this, Jericho decided to stop Hakai from casting lightning strikes by using a gun to shoot directly at him.
Only Hakai deflects the shots with his weapon (causing the storm clouds to disappear).
As the human boy begins to charge at the leader of the league and continues to shoot at him, Hakai is still deflecting it and slices the gun after Jericho becomes closer.
Then Hakai removes the thunderbolt gem and replaces it with the tornado gem.
With this, the hilt summons a spinning vortex of blue winds that solidified into a large lance-like shape that still swirled around wildly.
Which cast this power against Jericho to give a blow. Causing him to send him flying and he almost falls out of the ship.
Forcing Eelin to use her scarf to grab and pull him back to the deck.
Once she brought him safely, Eelin was so mad at Hakai for everything and the cruelty he has done in her entire life. So she tries to attack him out of fury where she uses a laser gun to shoot at him several times, Only he easily blocks them.
Then Hakai begins to slash the wind sword which makes a wave of the wind that give her a blow, and makes her let go of the laser gun after hitting on it.
The leader of this league begins to mock her efforts on trying to stop him. Claiming that she'll never win against him because she's just too weak. While Eelin only glares at him out of hatred.
Before Hakai would make a move,
He has a sense of a threat coming nearby. When he looks up he sees streams of swords that are aiming at him, forcing Hakai to dodge which stabs on the floor.
Wondering Where that came from, someone has jumped down. After landing on the deck, a mysterious person appears to be a woman. But appears to possess a traits of a bat, such as wings and ears.
Upon encounter with a mysterious woman, Hakai becomes wary of seeing her presence.
"Aren't you... Kela...? The Kela... The Hero Hunter..." The leader of the league seems to have known her. While she smirks.
"Kela? Who is she?" Jericho asks.
"She's known to be the "Hero Hunter" who seeks on challenging the superpower warriors for her interest, just to test out her abilities... But no one was able to come back alive after daring to challenge her..." Felisa explains while in a grimace, as she's aware of her reputation. Causing the others to feel shocked about her.
"Why is the hero Hunter here... What are you planning to do... Are you here to seek challenges?" Hakai demanded her reasons.
"The truth is... I came here because I had sensed something, which is nearby on this ship. So I sought to see something for myself." Kela replies with a confident smile on her face.
Much to confuse everyone from what she said.
While Hakai feels threatened by her presence. Even though he's aware of her reputation, Hakai started to attack her, just wanting to send the Hero Hunter away before she would pull a trick.
So the leader of the league uses the wind sword where it cast wind blasts against her. Although this attack may be powerful, Kela raises her right arm which blocks the powerful wind blast barehanded to shield herself.
Once he stop blasting at Kela, she only smirk as he couldn't give a single blow against her.
Much to surprise the 5 as the hero Hunter was able to survive the attack.
Then he orders his henchmen to charge against the Hero Hunter, but Kela brings out the sword that she's been carrying to give a slash to the whole army in one strike, while Sukar had managed to warn the others to get down to the deck to avoid the huge slash after sensing it. Leaving the Ninjas to be thrown out of the ship, while some are left defeated on the deck.
Despite her capabilities, Hakai is still determined to defeat the Hero Hunter.
So Hakai casts multiple slash wave that is made out of the wind to aim directly at Kela, but she easily deflects all of the attacks.
Then the leader of the league removes the wind gem and switches it with the lightning gem. Then starts charging toward Kela to launch an attack with a sword made out of lightning.
However, Kela has slashed her sword which creates a shock wave at him. Sending Hakai flying after receiving a blow.
As Jericho watches Hakai being thrown over, he noticed that two gems are dropped off.
So the human boy catches the tornado gem from falling, then rushes to grab the thunderbolt gem from the stern railing that nearly falls to the sea which he succeeds in catching it.
Only to witness Hakai who falls into the sea.
When Jericho looks back,
"Guys! We should get out of here! I don't think we can win against her!"
He suggests leaving the yacht immediately.
But the Hero Hunter Begins to target the 5 as she wants to test their skills.
She begins to summon a swarm of countless bats that can make a surprise attack and it's coming toward them.
Only Lumi started to cast her powers called start bullets in an attempt to counter the attacks, which causes a big blow after they collide.
Then, Lumi rushes herself to take down Kela on her own, ignoring the other's protest.
Her fist starts to glow in an attempt to give a punch to the Hero Hunter, but Kela blocks the attack with her right hand.
As Lumi struggled in attempting to give a blow, Kela recognized Lumi's race. As she seems to be aware of Lumi's kind being eliminated and their planet destroyed.
This greatly shocks her, only to give Kela a chance to give her a blow. Leaving Lumi to be thrown and then falling on the floor.
Angry for what she did, Eelin tries to shoot lasers at Kela, only she blocked it with her sword.
Then Felisa charged toward the Hero Hunter where she raised her claws to strike her with enhanced speed. But she continues to block several strikes with her sword before she takes her down.
Both Jericho and Sukar become angry at Kela for hurting them. So they try to charge towards the Hero Hunter.
But then, someone blocks the path from approaching Kela, then they've suddenly received a whip with a binding bandage.
Once the two begin to look at who had struck them, they see someone standing in front of Kela which is a woman who is wrapped up by bandages like a mummy. They also learned that she was the one who interfere with charging toward the Hero Hunter after seeing that she can manipulate bandages that she used to whip them.
Then, more group of an alien young women arrives. Kela reveals that they're her subordinates in this group that she led.
The one who intervened Jericho and Sukar was named Nefertine.
Followed by...
Rei,
Berserk,
Xalem,
and Zombistein.
With this group together, they call themselves the "Transylvaniacs".
With their arrival, She decided to let her subordinates attack the 5 just to test out their skills and abilities. While Kela will only stand and watch just to see if they're strong warriors that she's only interested in.
They all comply with her orders without question. So they begin to attack the 5.
Berserk launches herself while raising her fist and then gives a smash, which only wrecks the floor with immense strength as the group has managed to avoid it.
Nefertine begins to grab Jericho with her binding bandages and violently slams him on the floor back and forth.
The others try to save him as Lumi rushes off for him, but the other Transylvaniacs intervened the rest.
As Sukar rushes himself, the floor suddenly breaks that's underneath him which creates a hole, and Sukar almost falls from it before grabbing on. While Xalem stands Infront of him.
Sukar: what's this?! Why's the floor suddenly broken?!
Xalem: hehehe... That's too bad Because you're just being "Unlucky"...
She then stomps on his fingers to make him let go so he could fall. Only Sukar uses the grappling hook from his armor so he could pull himself back to the deck. Then Starts facing Xalem where he attempts to strike her physically while she acrobatically dodges.
When Felisa jumps to launch herself, Berserk blocks the path to punch her, causing her to fall to the floor. Then, Berserk attempt to give another blow, causing Felisa to dodge it.
But Berserk continues to chase after her and she attempts to give a strike. The young woman with cat traits tries to counter the strikes physically with her claws. But it won't last as Berserk slams her to the ground.
As Felisa is laying down on the floor, Berserk begins to grab her by the neck to drag her body sliding on the floor, then starts throwing the Young woman with cat traits where she rolls over the ground and crashes on the wall.
Eelin magnetically grabs the metal objects in an attempt to launch at Nefertine, but Zombistein steps in and intervened the metal objects with her immense strength, much to the latter's disbelief.
Then Eelin uses her laser gun to shoot at her, but, to the girl's disbelief, Zombistein is unimpeded by incoming gunfire, which appears to harmlessly impale her body. Then a shot fired suddenly severs her arm.
"Oh My Gosh!" Eelin freaks out from seeing this.
But Zombistein doesn't make any reaction as she begins to pick up her arm and appears to have the ability to enable her to reattach the lost limb.
Eelin: no way... I don't believe it...
Zombie: is that all you got? I'm just getting warmed up.
This causes the girl wearing glasses to flee from her, believing that she has no match against her enemy.
"Hey! Come back here and fight me!"
Causing Zombistein to chase after her opponent.
After Nefertine slams Jericho on the area, she then makes her bandages to grab on his arms and legs as she attempts to break his spine. Causing Jericho to scream in pain while Nefertine watches him with a sadistic expression.
"Stop it!"
Lumi rushes off for saving the human boy where she blasts star bullets to aim at the bandages to release Jericho.
As the human boy is taking his breath from the pain after falling to the ground, Lumi begins to make a technique against Nefertine called "Star Punch". But she blocks her fist with a scepter she carries. Then pushes Lumi off after striking her then begins to duel.
As Jericho recovers, he noticed that Lumi is battling against Nefertine.
So he begins to run towards them to help her, but then, to his surprise, he noticed something from his chest.
"Huh? What the... Ahhh!!!"
The latter sees the face of Rei, who seems to be coming out from his chest, then starts flying out from his body and reveals her abilities of flight and intangibility.
Jericho: Get Out Of My Way!
Rei: hehehe... Not a chance.
As Rei begins to fly around Jericho while passing through his body back and forth.
"Hey! Quit it! GRRR... Cut it out!"
Jericho becomes more irritated from this while Rei only laughs it off.
But when she stops passing through the boy's body, he noticed that his opponent is nowhere to be seen as she suddenly vanished.
As Jericho wonders where she is, he suddenly received a punch out of nowhere.
"Ow! Hey! Who did that?!"
The white-haired boy looks around to see someone who had done it, but there's no one around but his teammates who are fighting against the enemies. Then he is repeatedly being punched out by no one around him until he's completely beaten.
After laying his face on the ground, Rei appears Infront of the human boy.
"Hahaha... Didn't I mention that I can make myself disappear? But still... You're so much fun to play with." Rei said sarcastically.
As Sukar is facing his opponent while she only shows her confident expression, he starts charging toward her. However, something strange happen that got into Sukar's way.
A tidal wave begins to splash water on the deck but it only hits on Sukar. While it only leaves to have an alien-like fish on the wet floor, Sukar's armor is all wet and has an alien-like octopus that is stuck on his helmet, which he struggles to pull off.
Once he removed the octopus, Sukar resumed approaching Xalem.
But before that, a flock of alien-like birds that pass over noticed that there's a fish all over the deck of the yacht, so they fly towards to get the fishes then start swarming around Sukar. Causing the latter to shoo them off.
After scaring the birds off, Sukar attempt to reach for his opponent again. But then, Sukar steps on the plank that was lost from the wooden floor, causing the plank to whack into his face. Causing the visor to shatter and reveals his eyes.
"...What the heck is going on right now?!!" Sukar becomes frustrated.
Xalem reveals her ability to cast bad luck on her opponents.
Xalem: I have to admit, it is more fun to watch you suffering from your misfortunes... *laughs wickedly*
Sukar: Damm it...! What a pain...!
As Sukar is offended, his armor is still wet which malfunctions and sets on fire. Since he's still under Xalem's bad luck abilities.
"Ahhh!!! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!!" Sukar panics. So he starts to drop himself and roll his body onto the ground just to put out the fire.
Xalem laughs out of amusement, then starts to give her opponent a blow by acrobatically kicking him.
Eelin is still being chased by her opponent, while Zombistein angrily tosses the objects that she had picked up from this area during their chase, just to aim at her enemy. Only Eelin dodges them when she panics.
But the chase is stopped when Eelin is at the dead-end of the wall and she's now cornered.
Before Zombistein would approach her, Eelin uses her taser in an attempt to electrocute her opponent.
However, instead of receiving pain and discomfort, Zombistein only smiles on her face.
"Hahaha... Thanks! I needed that, and I'm all fired up!"
As the girl wearing glasses becomes confused, she explains about electricity can make her stronger. With this, she prepares to give a strike against Eelin.
Lumi is still dueling against Nefertine. Until she begins to conjure her powers where she summons a giant Star and starts tossing at her opponent like a shuriken. Which sliced her head off, much too surprised her.
But then, to the Star User's disbelief, Nefertine's head seems to regenerate by sand that appears from her body.
Once her head is recovered, She reveals her abilities to manipulate sand, which makes her body intangible of the sand manipulation. Which means she'll never feel such pain.
But that's not all, Nefertine informs her opponent that she has more abilities that have not been shown yet. But is not interested for entertainment as she wants to finish off her enemy.
Now feeling wary, Lumi immediately uses Star Bullets directly at her, but Nefertine allows herself to be hit, as it only passes through her body while being regenerated by her sand abilities.
Then Nefertine begins to raise her scepter to blast sand powers directly at Lumi which she received a powerful blow as she wasn't able to defend herself in time.
.
.
.
All of the Transylvaniacs have overpowered the specialists and Eelin, and they all throw them at the same time near the stern railing while they're all beaten from their fight, (while Sukar's armor is no longer on fire).
Kela is disappointed in their capabilities and decided to finish them off for being disgraceful, just as she did to the other victims.
So the Hero Hunter Begins to summon a swarm of bats directly at the group.
Seeing that the bats are coming toward them, Eelin grabs the grenade from her pocket and creates a smokescreen before it would try to give them a blow, which blinds all of the Transylvaniacs.
Once the smoke clears out, all of the specialists and Eelin have vanished.
Wondering where they disappear to, Xalem spotted the group who are riding on the motorboat as they were fleeing away from the yacht.
Not wanting them to get away, Kela summons the swarm of bats again to chase after them.
"*noticed that they're being chased* Guys! We've got company!" Felisa warns the others. Leaving them to be shocked.
"Oh, man! What should we do?! It's getting closer!" Lumi becomes desperate.
"I've got this guys!" Said Eelin as she begins to stand up where she starts to use her powers to disassemble and reassemble most of the parts of this motorboat.
Once it's done, the motorboat is completely upgraded.
"Everyone! Hold on tight!" Eelin informs them, and they all grab on tightly to this upgraded boat.
So the girl wearing glasses activate its maneuver to boost this boat to full speed and they managed to evade Kela's attacks.
With the five successfully escaping, Kela only watch silently as she lost sight of them. Then orders her subordinate to leave this yacht for now.
Before leaving, Nefertine begins to question her leader on why they came here in the first place. Kela only said that she came here because she sense something familiar when it's about the five being present. But when they're gone, she no longer senses something in this place anymore.
.
.
.
As the five are still in the middle of the ocean where their boat has stopped just to recover themselves from the battle. While they no longer wear their armor as they're damaged.
Jericho: I never thought they could beat us that easily. Not even our armors could stand against them.
Sukar: *embarrassed* yeah... not even our armors...
Felisa: Just like what the rumors said, no one could have a chance to win against the Hero Hunter. But it's a miracle that we have escaped from them.
Lumi: it's all thanks to you, Eelin. You saved us back there. If it weren't for you, we would be done for.
Eelin: I want to thank you as well for freeing me from Hakai's clutches. I owe you guys.
Sukar: speaking of Hakai... What happened to him since Kela sends him flying?
Jericho: I saw Hakai falling into the sea when I tried to catch the gems that he drop. I'm not sure if he's dead or not as I never have a chance to see him again.
Eelin: hmph! Well, he better be dead! I'll never forgive him for everything he had done to me. I may be glad that Kela did what he deserved, but... She sure was pretty powerful in defeating his army with one strike.
Lumi: sorry for being reckless from earlier. We should've leave immediately before we would got ourselves in danger. I thought I could stop her from hurting you all.
Jericho: it's alright. We understand.
Felisa: we're just glad you're okay.
Eelin: well, I never thought how dangerous the outside world would be since I never had a chance for a long time when I was held captive.
Felisa: yeah. We shouldn't underestimate the world, including the entire galaxy. As it's very unpredictable that we can't control.
Sukar: but that's a way to learn something from our journey, so we can prepare for anything.
Lumi: At least we make it out alive. And we have everything we came for. Jericho, you have the gems, right?
Jericho: yeah. I have two of them right here. The tornado and the thunderbolt. *The human boy shows both gems he had picked from the pocket.* Now let's head back to the headquarters and hand those gems to the general.
So they prepare to head back. While Eelin decided to join them to become specialists of Alphas operators since she has nowhere else to go and owes them a lot, to which they all agreed.
