Chapter X: Ultimate Sacred Gear
(KIIBO POV)
I ducked underneath a wave of flames out of fear before using my arm cannon to shoot at my opponent. However, I was shot in the shoulder by a powerful shot of concentrated fire, melting my metallic body and forcing me to duck behind some rubble. I activated my cloak and went silent in hopes my opponent won't find me. I began scanning the area for help, but no one was around. (Y/N) was taking on Sternritter M, the Miracle. Sung was busy with Sternritter C, Jihan was busy with Sternritter D, and Ardyn was focused on Sternritter X. So all the strong allies were busy, all while I was fighting Sternritter H, the heat. However, he wasn't himself, he was possessed by something.
"Where are you, robot boy?" Bazz B asked as he looked around my hiding place, desperately looking for me. "We still have a fight to finish, and when I win, I'm going after that King of the Seas guy. No matter how much water he has, he can't extinguish my flames!"
I began looking through my database for any upgrades aside from 'that' one for a plan or tactic I can use against a fire using an opponent like Bazz B. His flames aren't as wide sweeping as Ravel's or as destructive as Yuebellena's, but they're condensed and precise. I tried using my fire extinguishers, but they were used up because they were made to be used against someone like Riser, but Bass B is on a different level entirely. He managed to burn a massive hole through several buildings with a single strike. Even I need several strikes to destroy a building, so this guy was way past my level in every sense of the word.
"Found you!" Bazz B pointed his finger at me, causing flames to shoot out in a straight line, but I managed to dodge the flames by flying upwards using my jetpack.
While I was in the air, I began searching through my database again in search of a file, a file I named {Ultimate Sacred Gear of Hope}, and I considered using it, but using it makes me think of everyone I've lost. I was reluctant to use it because I would have to confront my past. With that, I began thinking about how I obtained this file...
(Flashback)
"Eh, you want us to turn you into a sacred gear?"
The person talking was Raynare as she stood in a lab with Kalawarner and Mittlet, more specifically, a lab made for making sacred gears. I was undoubtedly the weakest member of (Y/N)'s peerage, so I was useless. Kokushibo was the fastest, Mori had the most strength, Ethan was the luckiest, Bam had the most firepower, Jihan and Sung were tied for the most potential, and (Y/N) was the hardest to kill. As for me, I was just as strong as your average person, not even a bodybuilder at that. So I decided to turn myself into a sacred gear, since my body is already artificial, I should be okay.
"We're still pretty new to making sacred gears, so I recommend asking someone who actually knows what they're doing." Kalawarner suggested, but I only trusted them to modify my body since (Y/N) was busy training. "Besides, why do you want to be a sacred gear?"
"Back during the killing game, I was pretty useless." I informed the girls, who already know my past and understand that almost everyone I got attached to died, and the other ones want nothing to do with me on account of PTSD. "Because I was useless, everyone suffered, therefore, I refuse to be weak or useless ever again! To be useful in this group, I need something to make me stand out! Being a robot here isn't going to help people."
"I mean, no one's tried making a living sacred gear before, so trying wouldn't be too bad." Mittlet was surprisingly optimistic about this. "Okay, how about this, I'll lend you a hard drive and you have to find a source of data for people's talents you like. With the data, we can make you into a sacred gear that suits those talents."
"Alright, thank you!" I bowed to show my appreciation before taking the hard drive and practically beaming with a smile. "I know just the place!"
I walked out of the lab, which was located underneath a bar in New York, due to its distance to Atlas headquarters, it was easy to get their hands on experimental technology. If you're worried about me getting caught due to my appearance, well I am grateful you actually care about me, but I was wearing a disguise consisting of a baggy hat, trench coat, and pants. I was able to sneak by without drawing too much attention to myself before I left the tavern and look up at the sky, watching as snow fell.
With every snowflake that fell, I walked towards an abandoned alley, in the alley, I took off my disguise. I folded my disguise and put it in a compartment in my chest before using my jetpack to soar into the air, flying towards Japan at Mach speeds towards the ruins of a building. A couple minutes passed, and I used this time to remember the time I spent with everyone before my death. How I was repaired by Ursula thanks to my talent, but I was quickly given a suicide mission when she realized I was effectively useless. However, (Y/N) still not only saw me as a worthy enough person to keep alive, but also as a member of his peerage.
I arrived at the rubble of an old school building that used to have a glass dome around it but all that remains of the dome is dust and shards of glass. I landed in the ground and began scanning the area for a computer when my eyes finally landed on it. I walked to the computer's location and moved aside the rubble before my eyes landed on the computer. My eyes immediately noticed the bear-like pattern on the side, this was Monokuma's old computer, where he kept files on all of us. Well, just the computer that held all of our information anyways. I took out the hard drive and plugged it into the USB port after a couple of tries, then I began searching the computer for data on all of us.
I selected the file known as 'students and talents', and began downloading the data as I read it. I saw the images of all my friends, their talents, and their status. Most of them obviously read 'Deceased', and I began crying (it's actually just me just making crying noises) when I saw everyone's faces, even if they are just pictures. However, something else caught my eye, we weren't the only ones, just the last. I saw many talents, the ultimate swordswoman, ultimate gunslinger, ultimate sniper, ultimate soldier, etc. I downloaded these talents too and was about to leave, but I took a moment to think back once more before smiling.
I soared into the air with the hard drive now containing all of the talents, using my time, I began thinking about how I've bonded with my new friends. Kokushibo doesn't really like wasting time, but he's a good teacher when I ask him to help me work on my close quarters skills. Out of everyone, I think I get along with Jack the most. Jack may be loud and annoying half the time, but he wants to keep everyone's hearts racing with wonder and excitement. I reached the lab back in New York City after a couple minutes of flying and putting my disguise back on before entering the bar. I handed the hard drive to Mittlet with a determined expression.
"Are you sure you want to become a sacred gear?" Kalawarner asked as she began modifying some kind of machine. "I mean, (Y/N) gave us spare Alatreon and Fatalis parts since he's been farming EXP, but are you sure this is what you want? We can't just unsacred gear you."
"I'm certain, I don't want anyone close to me to die ever again!"
(Flashback over, just wanted to get that out of the way)
I was now horribly injured, with my arms torn off and only one leg remaining, I would have tried to fly away, but my jetpack was damaged as well. As for Bazz B, he wasn't injured in the slightest. He stepped towards me with a single flaming finger, prepared to deliver the final blow.
"Jeez, if you're as weak as that (Y/N) guy, then this would have been a massive waste of time." Bazz B insulted (Y/N) as he pointed his finger at me. "You've been fun, but it'd be best if you'd die."
"Deactivate Ultimate Disguise."
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
I bolted forwards in a flash of light blue light, catching Bazz B off guard. I appeared behind him with my disguise off, now revealing that everything below my head had a light blue glowing skeleton that could be seen through my armor, as if my armor was transparent to show the skeleton only. Along with the skeleton, a heart could be seen inside the rib age, pumping for no reason. My eyes were radiating electricity, my hair had an ahoge made of lightning to make up for my lost one, and now my entire body was repaired. Plus I had glowing lights in the joints of my body that made me look like those rainbow keyboards.
"I wanted to save this mode until the end of the war, but it looks like I have no choice in order to win this fight." I created a blue katana in my hand. "I received an upgrade to turn me into the Ultimate Sacred Gear a little while ago. I have all the talents Hope's Peak has done research into, and the ability to create things out of light."
"Impressive, but let's see how powerful this makes you." Bazz B sent a wave of fire towards me, but I soared into the air and created a series of Asian giant hornets around me before sending them towards Bazz B.
Using the talent of the Ultimate Entomologist, I ordered the hornets to fly around Bazz B in a uniform but evasive action, while the quincy was distracted with them. I flew towards Bazz B and attempted to slash at him, and I received a vision from my Ultimate Clairvoyant of Bazz B aiming his finger at me and shooting me in the head whilst dodging my sword swing. So I moved my head to the side to dodge the condensed fire shot and used my arm cannon to shoot Bazz B's stomach. Bazz B jumped back in response to this in shock, he tried shooting more flames at me, but I used the talent of the Ultimate Firefighter and Ultimate Shield to take the hit without much injury.
"You seem confused, so allow me to explain." I began explaining this form to Bazz B. "I have the data of every talent that once took place in a killing game, so I can use whatever skills come with that talent as well. I can predict the future, control bugs, and become the best swordsman in the world. To help me, my body's new function is to create anything I need out of light."
To prove that my new body had no limit to its creation, I created a revolver to replace the sword and aimed at Bazz B. Using the talent of the Ultimate Gunslinger, I fired all six rounds in rapid succession, but all of them seemingly missed. Bazz B laughed confidently at this but every single bullet was ricocheting off the rubble around us before all six landed in Bazz B's back. Bazz B grit his teeth and two flaming wings suddenly appeared on his back, must be the vollstandig I've heard so much about.
All five of Bazz B's fingers erupted into flames and launched condensed fire at me, but I managed to soar into the air to dodge every flame. I combined the talents of the Ultimate Inventor, Entomologist, and Programmer to create bugs scattered all around my body. These bugs went to my jetpack and arm cannon to begin enhancing them as I soared through the air. Not even moments later, I could feel myself soaring faster. I aimed my arm cannon at Bazz B once again to see him soaring like myself, but I was faster than him. I shot a single blast from my cannon and it felt like a powerful railgun was being fired instead from the power and the recoil alone.
Bazz B dodged the shot from the cannon, letting the shot hit a nearby building and causing it to explode. Using the talent of the ultimate marksman, I decided to dedicate this whole fight to my arm cannon. I dodged flame after flame before firing at Bazz B, who was starting to run out of stamina and began radiating a demonic energy. Bazz B appeared above me and kicked me towards the ground but I summoned my sword once again, except this time it was covered in talismans to block the hit. Upon contact from the talismans, Bazz B's skin started burning and forced him to jump back.
In response to this, Bazz B began getting more reckless and wild with his attacks, using his hands to sweep a wide area in flames. I was forced to fly back and activate my powers once more, this time creating a rocket like the ones people would see in sci-fi movies. Using the talent of the Ultimate Astronaut, Lucky Student, and Gamer, I managed to adjust to these controls rather quickly. I used the ship to fly myself upwards and aimed the guns at Bazz B, who was following me upwards. The higher I flew, the more tired Bazz B became until Bazz's wings finally gave up on him.
Using that moment as an opportunity, I fired the laser guns attached to the ship, forcing Bazz B to shoot flames from the bottoms of his feet to send himself in different directions. One of the lasers managed to ironically burn his shoulder, forcing Bazz B to fall to the ground. The impact alone managed to create a crater, but I wasn't done yet. I made this rocket to be paired with missiles, so I fired all of the missiles because I knew they would hit. Every missile made contact, but Bazz B still stood up, but he was struggling.
Kokushibo told me to respect warriors who try their hardest and are willing to die for their master, so I made the rocket ship disappear and landed right in front of Bazz B. I know this man was possessed by something, so I activated my abilities as the Ultimate Priest and created a crucifix and pressed it against Bazz B's forehead.
"Eh?"
"I'm sorry, but I need to get this out of you." The cross I was pressing against Bazz B's head suddenly began glowing white.
Bazz B began screaming in pain as the glowing died down, and from his body a giant demon suddenly appeared. I scanned the demon just before dodging a strike from it, and I noticed how weak it was. Still, something was off about his demon, and I realized this demon was Fraudrin, one of the Ten Commandments from hundreds of years ago. I flew back and created a chain made of light to pull a now unconscious Bazz B away from Fraudrin.
"Why were you inside a quincy?" I asked as I placed Bazz B behind some rubble. "Besides, how are you still alive?!"
"Simple, I was resurrected by Ursula." Fraudrin answered like it was no big deal, does this mean that the rest of the Ten Commandments are revived as well? "Yuha Bach knew Bazz B was going to betray him, so he asked Ursula to have me possess Bazz B until he outlived his usefulness."
"Wait, are the rest of the Ten Commandments here right now?" I asked, aiming my arm cannon at Fraudrin as I asked this question. "If you don't answer, I'll be forced to kill you."
"Woah, relax!" Fraudrin ordered, but considering this is one of the most dangerous demons in history, I have to be on guard. "The Ten Commandments are resurrected, but not here, Ursula revived a bunch of powerful groups to fight under her, there was one group in particular she specifically revived to take on (Y/N). Weirdly enough, they're pretty weak, except for one guy, who won't stop crying."
"That's quite a bit of information, why are you telling me all of this?" I asked, that Intel was indeed useful, but it was effectively useless.
"I was hoping you'd let me go in exchange for information." Fraudrin, and he did give me some information, and I'd just be a murderer if I killed him after he complied.
"Fine, just leave now so I don't have to see you." I turned around to focus on Bazz B. "I have to heal Bazz B anyways."
"You're too trusting Kiibo..."
I quickly turned around to see Fraudrin with his fist raised directly above me, but he was seemingly paralyzed. Behind him I saw King (Y/N) walking towards me and the Commandment. (Y/N) had some yellow scales on his body, indicating he was injured at some point and the scales haven't worn off yet.
"Use skill: [Bloodbending]." (Y/N) moved his right arm a certain way to force Fraudrin to stand straight, allowing the king to wrap chains of ice around the giant body. "You know, I really don't like controlling someone's blood like this."
"Why don't you use this skill more often, it could be useful?" I suggested, and (Y/N) turned around, revealing his (e/c) draconian eyes with amber colored centers.
"Yeah, but it's super painful for anyone who's under its influence and real easy to kill someone with this ability." (Y/N) explained as he put both his hands in his pockets.
"So how long have you had this skill?" I asked, since I've never seen (Y/N) use this skill before.
"So long as there's water in it, I can control just about anything." (Y/N) explained, and human blood does have quite a bit of water in it. "Plus, due to my position as a water demigod, I can override most other people's control over these as well."
"That's amazing!" I cheered, (Y/N) was always super cool in my opinion, but he just got a lot cooler. "By the way, where's that quincy you were taking care of?"
"(Y/N)!" A giant angel suddenly appeared above us, causing (Y/N) to sweatdrop and me to start panicking because of his size. "I found you, foolish of you to hide after making me this large!"
"Oh hi mark." (Y/N) greeted nonchalantly whilst causing his right hand to turn into a white dragon's claw and expand to his own size. "You know, you've got to watch what you say, I'm pretty tempted to say 'that's what she said'."
"(Y/N), what is that?!" I asked whilst pointing at the giant thing in front of us. "There's no way that Sternritter M.'
"Yeah apparently he's an immortal exactly like myself, except his regeneration also increases his size and power instead of just his defense." (Y/N) explained in a slightly annoyed voice. "So killing him is out of the question."
"What if we put him in an acid pit that neutralizes his immortality?" I suggested, I remember reading the containment procedures of SCP-682, which was another immortal.
"With normal immortals, that's not a bad idea, but he and I are enhancing immortals." (Y/N) showed off his golden scales. "No matter how strong our opponent is or how toxic our environment is, we will eventually reach a point where they can't hurt us."
"So you can basically take on anything?!" I was amazed by this, but (Y/N) merely smiled and closed his eyes nervously.
"Well yeah, but it's gonna take a while if our opponent has enough firepower." (Y/N) chuckled a bit. "So if it's Saitama, I'd have to regenerate a bunch of times before I can withstand one of his serious punches. However, when I do, there's nothing he can do to hurt me."
"Don't just ignore me!" Sternritter M slashed his swords down atop of (Y/N), causing a massive dust cloud to engulf us both, but I didn't hear the sword crash down onto the ground.
"You know buddy, the ouryuu was designed to be the ultimate shield, having an invincible body and all that." I heard (Y/N)'s voice, but due to his low body heat, I can't find him when I use my thermal vision. "Now that I possess that power, I can use it to protect everyone."
Once the dust cleared, I saw using his clawed hand to catch the sword with ease while the rest of his body stood tall, just like a king. His fur cloak and hair blew in the wind as (Y/N) smiled a bit. (Y/N) used his clawed hand to crush the parts of the sword which he was holding. The Sternritter was caught off guard by this, but (Y/N) wasn't done. (Y/N)'s aura took it's form as thirteen giant hydra heads, each of which were now the size of a car. All thirteen of these hydra heads began emitting a kind of mist from their mouths as they began surrounding the quincy. He tried moving, but (Y/N) focused his eyes at him, somehow paralyzing the giant. All of the hydra heads now surrounded him and chunks of ice began covering his body, bit by bit until he was completely frozen. I thought (Y/N) was going to shatter the ice, but instead, he summoned his stand and made it stab the quincy in the chest. The sword strike didn't shatter the ice, but it did make the quincy disappear, leaving behind a large amount of ice that crashed down in front of King (Y/N).
"You know Kiibo, you tend to think too little of yourself." (Y/N) turned his head slightly, which mixed with the cold wind blowing through his hair and the shards of ice flying, he looked cool. "You're a grand friend who may make mistakes, but you're someone who always gives it their 100%, and that kind of trait is rare. You're someone who's grown a lot in the past three years, and I'm proud of you."
After he said that, he began walking elsewhere, and I was just about to follow him until I instinctively looked behind me. Behind me I saw a familiar inventor with strawberry pink hair, icy blue eyes, a pink uniform, and goggles. Instead of her usual 'interesting' personality, she was smiling gently and waving at me. She just stood there, with eyes that basically screamed that they were happy for me. I blinked and suddenly she was gone, but still, I smiled in her memory. She may be gone from my life, but I don't regret a second I spent with her.
I turned back around to join (Y/N) to help take on the rest of the Sternritter and save the soul society. I guess this was symbolic of me accepting the past and learning to live with my failures. As rowdy as Miu was, I'm sure she wouldn't have wanted me to beat myself up over her death, besides, I'm now her invention, and I intend to make myself famous for her. Still, my main job was to help (Y/N) right now.
"Hey Kiibo, you coming?"
"Sir yes sir!"
(A/N: In case you're wondering why I'm focusing an entire chapter on Kiibo, well I plan on doing it for everyone in the peerage, I just did it for Kiibo first because he's the weakest in the peerage. It's worth saying that I'll be grouping people up if they're from the same series. Like Ardyn will get his own chapter while Ethan gets paired up with Sora and Dark. With that out of the way, I'd like to thank those of you who actually read this book, my gratitude can not be expressed with just this medium. So for now, I'll just do a QnA section on my author's notes. One question per note, and there will be no order to which I answer the questions. I'll just use a spinny thing.
