Hopian 52 - Power is Power

Last chapter, after their plan failed the trio ended up getting destroyed by Virile one by one. Just as the Mayors goons start to have their way with Karia, before they can go any further Abigail's father joins the fray and stops them with his Blessing. The hero, Onyx, starts to fight Virile with the power of his Blessing being the ability to launch his blood out of his palm in the form of a solid blade, in which he can only change its direction every time he slices someone. Now, after attacking Virile's goons once again the hero seems cornered.

Seric's P.O.V.

"What the hell is he doing?!" I think to myself in panic as Onyx continues to stand still and retract his bent and twisted super long blade of blood- all the while Virile is just stomping closer to him from behind and his goons are charging at him from the front.

"Stay back damn it, this isn't your fight!!" Virile commands, causing his men to skid on the sand until they stop completely.

The mayor then raises his leg, and slams it down into the sand with a loud "HMPH!". Finally Onyx's blood blade fully retracts into his palm, and without hesitation he charges straight towards Virile who's now panting again.

"I see you have some decency after all!" Virile shouts out as he continues to stomp towards our hero, but before he can continue he once again slams his foot down into the sand at a slightly different angle than before- which makes him start to pant heavily as he continues to put pressure on the cut I gave him.

"Wait, no! Virile's just setting up a trap again like he did for Metallica, Onyx is gonna run right into Virile's Blessing!" I think to myself in fear as Onyx foolishly continues to run at the same not too fast pace, while the monster is standing still and panting but bending down a bit in order to be more mobile I presume.

Onyx is a bit in front of Virile as he stops his charge, but just as he raises up his palm-

*BOOM!*

Abigail's father gasps in pain as he's launched high up into the air- with me hearing the cracking of his bones.

I squint my eyes shut and shake my head as I hear the sound of our defeated hero landing on the ground but my pathetic actions and unfaithful actions are interrupted by-

"Weaponize My Being: Your Blood Is My Blood!" Onyx shockingly yells in a deep tone with his palm stuck down at a surprised and tired out Virile as he lies on the ground using his other hand to support him temporarily. Using the stillness to his advantage, Onyx launches the singular blade of blood out of his palm.

But my jaw drops- due to the fact that the blade continues to move towards Virile who is just barely cut by the hit, until even more shockingly it breaks off into hundreds of other blades aimed straight at Virile!

*SLASHSLASHSLASHSLASHSLASH
SLASHSLASHSLASHSLASHSLASH!*

All of the blades automatically slice through Virile at once and continue to do so mercilessly at random angles, causing him to be impossible to be seen through the red blurs surrounding him and the sand that's been thrown into the air because of it- but I can sure as hell hear him groaning and screaming in pain.

"What?! Holy shit that Blessing is overpowered!! Was he only able to pull that off because of how he cut so many people?! But still, did it move on its ow- never mind, is this it?!" I think to myself in admiration and hope, a smile creeping onto my face even with the immense pain I'm feeling on my arm- well because I don't have an arm now.

"DAMN YOU- LIKE HELL IF I'LL DIE HERE- AGH!" Virile tries to sound manly through the extremely loud sound of the cuts, but gets literally cut off as he screams in pain once more.

*SLASH!*

With one final attack where all of the blades slice Virile at once- they finally turn back into liquid blood, causing a massive amount of the substance to pour down from the air.

"No way... he actually..." I think to myself as tears of joy well up in my eyes, as Virile still isn't visible and is being completely quiet, but Onyx on the other hand is lying on the ground and wincing in pain- visibly having a snapped leg from the Mayor's prior attack.

"K-Karia... Metallica... it's over! You two, you're... you're ok right?!" I try to yell to them, which I actually can decently now that my voice has recovered from the screaming and crying. Karia is still lying on the ground and trying to regain her composure, while King Metallica is still lying on the floor and twitching even more than before, and still saying "REBOOTING IN PROCESS.". Luckily they were far away from where the fight moved to as well, otherwise they easily could have been killed in the crossfire.

"Mm." Karia let's out a small and almost feminine response which surprises me- but then again considering how hard my ass got whopped she probably could care less about sounding weak right now. Can't blame her either, that was awful...

"HMMMPPPPPH!" I hear a loud grunting noise come from the bloody sandcloud, causing me and Karia look over to it where we can see a massive pure red object emerge from it.

"HAAAAA. HAAAAA." I hear an extremely loud panting sound from the same direction, and, dear God, Virile shakily stomps out from the makeshift smokescreen. However, his entire body is a shiny pitch red, the only thing that isn't being his singular wide open eye, the other being pitch red and sliced but still open.

"What the fuck?! How the hell did at least one of those blades not cut off his damn heaaaaad!!!!" I think to myself in shock and disgust of what I'm seeing right now, even feeling pity for the horrible state Virile's in.

Onyx slowly looks up the ground to the bloody mess in front of him. "Monster..." is all he says as his face quivers in fear.

"I... AM... HAAAAAAA. HAAAAAA. THE SAVIOR!" Virile barely manages to say through his pants, and soon after he shakily raises and clenches his fist, and proceeds to fall down to his knees as his hand slams down into Onyx's now arched back purely due to his own mass and gravity.

Onyx gasps for air, until he finally closes his eyes and collapses on the floor.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAA. HA- BLEGH!" Virile then hunches over onto his knees and hands as he coughs out a puddle of blood onto the sand right next to Onyx.

"No... not yet... I need to save them... all..." Virile utters under his breath as his one working brown eye starts to go dull and closes, and at the same time he starts to fall forward onto the sand.

"It's over..." I think to myself semi happily as the mayor is about to fall towards the ground.

*TICK- TOCK- TICK... TOCKTICKTOCKTICKTOCKTICK
TOCKTICK*

Suddenly the sound of a ticking clock comes from the pure red Virile's direction, and it speeds up as the monster uses one of his arms to stop himself from falling face first. But, my brow furrows and my mouth drops as I can see all of the blood instantly disappear off of his hairy skin, then the cut on his chest disappears, his vest suddenly reappears from thin air onto his upper body, then his broken nose regenerates and reforms, and finally Karia's electrical burn on his back disappears entirely.

Both my and Karia's mouth gapes, and I'm sure as hell King Metallica's would as well if he was watching what was happening.

"YEEEEEESSSSS!! I've heard of the rare cases of Blessing users obtaining their second Blessing when they're close to death and have a strong will, but never was I cocky enough to believe I would too! This world believes in my cause, it knows it needs me!" Virile shouts victoriously as he jumps back up in an instant and pulls back his leg, then proceeds to slam it into the unconscious Onyx which sends him flying through the sand.

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!?! ALL THAT DAMAGE WE DID ON HIM WAS FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING?!?! OH.... OH GOHOHOHODDDD!!!" I think to myself as tears well up in my eyes, looking towards Karia who looks terrified as well knowing that this monster is back to his full, terrifying power.

"Dad!!" I hear a soft voice from from the distance shout out in distress, and looking towards the source its... Abigail running towards the fight in tears?!

"Abigail, get out of here now!!" I try to yell to her, but I don't think she hears me over the sound of her own tears.

"Dad, please wake up! My friends *hick* said will take care of Virile so please, I'm begging you!" She cries out as she finally reaches him, falling onto her hands and knees as she touches his face.

"Hmph. Out of respect for your father's strength, I'll... let you go if you leave immediately... NO." Virile shakes his head with... guilt? "I'll only have my men put you in your place if you leave immediately." Virile shouts out and changes his offer to her- and at this point I'm praying that's she takes it regardless.

She looks towards Karia who's still teary eyed for a moment, until she finally lays her eyes upon King Metallica's body. "Robot! You said you would beat him... right?! So I won't move, I trust you!" Abigail says with a quivering smile on her face, though King Metallica doesn't respond whatsoever.

"Hmph, even though he's practically dead of course you ask the "man" for help instead of the concious girl! I'll just have to use your dead body to display to you women what happens when they try to act strong!!!" Virile interrupts as he starts to charge towards Abigail at a dangerously quick pace.

"No... no!" Is all I can think to myself while I also yell out "Stop!" as Virile approaches her and starts to pull his arm back for his classic insane punch.

"That's our boss! That punch is what made him the undefeated mayor of Birzion!" The bloody and damaged brown vested goons laugh as Virile stops his charge and uses his momentum to begin launching his fist, while Abigail is screaming and completely shell shocked as she holds onto her defeated father for comfort.

*POW!*

Just as the punch is about to obliterate Abigail and Onyx, some big figure crashes and squats into the sand from up above just in front of the two- and quickly bends their elbow and sticks out just one palm towards Virile's flying fist, catching and stopping the hit entirely as their arm vibrates heavily, not even looking at the mayor as a giant gust of wind is produced from the impact.

Looking closer at the new monster, I can just manage to see with teary eyes that the squating man is wearing a pair of black shades, and a brown wide-brimmed fedora. More importantly, the tall man seems to be jacked and quite tall as they stand up and let go of Virile's retreating arm, wearing a navy blue t-shirt that has some sort of decal printed on it in white which exposes their buff arms. Lastly the guy is wearing a pair of navy blue shorts, exposing his muscular legs.

"You're... you're... IMPOSSIBLE!!" Virile shouts out in disgust and fear as he swings his leg at the man in the fedora, but in response the new hero jumps upwards and forwards to an insane height as they land on top of the massive Mayors shoulders.

Virile immediately tries to grab the person's legs, but before he can the man in the fedora springs off of his shoulders into the air once more with extreme speed, and they stick their right leg out to the side of them as they begin to fall to the ground, the rest of their body seeming to prepare for a spin like I would with my blade as they twist their torso and arms to the right a bit.

Virile starts to turn himself around on the ground with gritted teeth, but before he can I suppose my guess was right as the new hero starts to somehow spin their entire body to the left as they fall to the height just above Virile's neck, rotating at an insane pace. Not but a second later the new hero spins a full 180 degrees as they continue to fall, and the mans timing and their stuck out but once again vibrating leg allows him to slam his muscular shin right into the back of the mayors even buffer neck.

*BOOOOOOOOM!*

In an instant Virile is slammed face first into the sand just in front of Abigail like a domino on steroids with an ear piercing crash, causing the frail girl to even be launched a bit into the air. Meanwhile the man in the fedora is simply pushed back a bit due to the reaction force, in which they casually retract their right leg and land onto the ground by the mayors feet without a sweat, not seeming to mind the sand that was launched into the air and onto them due to the insane impact. Luckily all three of us are far away from the fight though, so none of the sand splatted onto our poor selves.

"BOSSSSSS!!" His brown vested men cry out in shock and fear, as the new hero raises the leg they attacked with and starts to examine the back and front of it, until they give it a quick pat and bring it back down again.

"Are you kidding me?! Did he teleport Virile to the ground or something, he slammed into the ground way too fast!!" I think to myself in shock as my mouth is wide open- it's actually hurting due to how much it is at this point. I then look towards Karia to see her reaction, but hers is even more shocked than my own as she shakes her head vigorously, and proceeds to stumble upwards and clumsily charge towards me with a terrified look on her face and gritted teeth, I guess she's better now.

"FUCK ME SIDEWAYS, that- that kick!! Seric, Metallica we're getting the hell out of here, NOW!" Karia shouts to us in a hushed but frantic tone, which causes me to scrunch up my face and look towards King Metallica. Luckily our favourite bot is finally starting to stand up as well using his knees as support, although he of course still has a massive hole in his chest which displays his complex machinery.

"Karia, what's wrong? Virile's finished, that badass person in the fedora massacred him... didn't he?" I call out to her uneasily as I start to calm down with heavy breaths under the heavy pile of rubble I'm still trapped under from the destroyed wall. I then look to my injured arm as its not hurting anymore for some reason, and I can see that all of the prior red flesh on the edge of my decapitated arm has healed over with skin, forming a short and strange looking arm knub.

"There you are, and yeah obviously that hairy bastard's dead but that's not the point! King Metallica, you're ok now, so go hurry the hell up and get Seric out of that rubble!" Karia tries to sound tough as she points towards me and looks at King Metallica who just barely managed to stand up, but I can still see her shaking heavily. If she's scared, then just what the hell is awaiting us?

"Nice... Confidence... Pal #...2...! Sure... thing...!" King Metallica says drowsily and with a smile on his face as his head continues to twitch, and he then proceeds to slowly walk towards me. His speed is much to Karia's dismay as she's repeatedly looking towards the tall man who's far away from us and back towards ourselves again, until she finally runs inside of the building that I'm stuck in to take cover through the giant hole that I made in it.

"Are you alright?" The man asks in a surprisingly only moderately deep voice, causing me to look over where I can see the man in the fedora begin to walk around the fallen body of Virile towards Abigail who's resting right next to her father with sand covering her frozen face and her hair looking like a mess.

"Pal! Just... what... happened to that- that.... that knife weilding arm... in training of yours?!"King Metallica asks me with concern as he crouches down and grabs both of my shoulders, spinning his arms behind him which causes me to be pulled right out of the rubble.

I respond, "That bastard ripped it off, but are you oka-"

"S-shut up and move you dumbasses! Shit, we won't be able to run away without being seen... we'll have to hide up there!" Karia shouts to us, once again in a hushed tone, causing King Metallica to put his hands on his twitching hips as he's about to scold her. But before he can Karia grabs my hand and roughly pulls me up on my feet, before she herself starts to run up some stairs that were behind me this entire time. Just gonna hope that anyone who's in this house already left after my unannounced entrance.

"Ah!" But I scream as I'm about to fall over again due to my injured legs, but before I can King Metallica grips my shoulders and holds me up.

"Come on already damn it!" Karia shouts in a hushed tone down to us from the top of the stairs.

***

"So, what was the rush again? Who is that guy?" I ask in an annoyed tone as all three of us sit by a small thin window in the wooden floored bedroom we're hiding in- from what I don't know, but with the sound of King Metallica tinkering with his machinery echoing throughout the room.

Luckily the window we're at has some crazy Hopian tech in it that let's us zoom in on things precisely the more a dial next to it is turned. It also is somehow able to amplify the audio of where we zoom into, letting us hear everything that's happening even though we're this far away.

BUT Karia is of course hogging the entire zoomed in view to the scene, even though the crippled me and Metallica had to hurry up the stairs a second ago, which we almost fell down multiple times.

With nothing to do I consider asking King Metallica if he's alright, but I soon look towards my arm and gulp. "...Shit!! Am I really going to never get my arm back?! How am I supposed to fight now?! Wait... but I could use that as an excuse for..." I try to reason with myself and not panic.

Karia continues to stare out the window, and from what I just managed to see a second ago for a split second, in the far distance the man in the fedora has been waving his hand in front of a completely stunned but standing Abigail, roughly wiping the sand off of her face in the process. Meanwhile Virile's goons are all huddled together and seem to be formulating some sort of plan. Now back to us, Karia finally responds and interrupts my train of thought, "First off, that's not a guy! Secondly, that's-"

"...Hah. The one time I try being "friendly". I don't have the time for this." The man complains, and at the same time I'm able to shove Karia out of the way a bit so I can see what's going on too.

The "man" then tosses her fedora onto the ground, causing their silver hair to drop down to their chin and at the same time they toss off their shades, revealing a pair of stunning amber eyes. More importantly, my jaw drops as I can see that despite her massive height that's got to be at LEAST 6 foot and her sheer bulk, that she also has a firm and relatively large bust that proves her femininity.

"You know who I am, correct?" She asks Abigail in a deep and intimidating tone as she bends her face down far enough so that she's staring keenly right into Abigail's terrified eyes.

"Holy shit that's a girl?! She's... she's so cool! Those muscles would already be impressive on a guy, but how the hell did a girl get that jacked?! That MUST have been the dangerous girl Virile's goon warned him about, how good are your "all girls are weak" beliefs now bastard!! But...why do I feel like I've seen her before though... My minds too panicked to put my finger on it, but wow!" I think to myself as I continue to stare out the window entranced by her contradictory appearance, noticing that she also has a long but thin scar stretching down from the top of her neck to under her shirt.

"What?!" I shout in shock and fear as the mature woman pulls back her clenched fist and immediately launches it towards Abigail's face with extreme speed, causing the poor girl to gasp and "wake up" as the punch stops just in front of her face.

"You've wasted plenty of my time as is, so answer me immediately. Where is Virile Noble, the monster who has supposedly been terrorizing this town?" She asks with a serious look on her face, meanwhile the Mayor in question is already lying unmoving right behind her as blood starts to leak out from under his face that's buried in the sand.

"Him... that's him... how did you... you're a girl, so how did you..." Abigail says shakily as she crumples under the womans terrifying glare, pointing towards the obliterated Virile which causes her to look back at the unconcious man.

"Hm? Surely you jest, he was the so called monster?" The silver haired woman asks with a furrowed brow as she swiftly bends down, grabbing Virile's short black and gray striped hair and yanking his deformed and bloody face up into the air as she looks back towards Abigail.

"M-mm!" Abigail mutters as she shakily nods her head and looks away from the body of course.

"So be it, I suppose such is the might of the Hopian Army." She shouts confidently as she drops Virile's limp head and raises both of her arms to the side of her own head, flexing her biceps at the same time. But a second later, one of the brown vested goons stray off from the rest and charge towards the womans back with a sword in his hand.

"Hopian Army?! Shit, now I know why Karia was so scared!! Wait?! Don't tell me that's!..."

"Ahem." The muscular woman coughs as she lowers her arms. "As I have more time now, why are you shocked that I won, you know who I am correct? Whether you're a man or a woman, if you have the higher intellect, will, and physical strength than your opponent, you will dominate over your them and become the alpha. If you happen to be weak in those aspects, you will lose and be forced to submit to your opponent. Power is power, and that will never change. It just so happens to be that most of you women are raised to be protected, not to protect. Now go, the man you are holding seems to be quite injured. I believe I saw an infirmary down that path, head there immediately." The silver haired woman responds cooly as she points right by us and down through the city path that's surrounded by many buildings on both sides. But at the same time the brown vested man sneaks behind the massive woman and is about to slice her back, but before he can even move his weapon the silver haired woman glances back and stretches her other arm down and behind her with speed like a bullets, stabbing her hand deep into his head and removing it not but an instant later as blood starts to pour out from the injury.

"You see why I was so fucking scared now?! That's the monster we barely escaped from before at Vegahold and who made ME into a badass... Aora!!" Karia shouts to me as she grits her teeth, and at the same time the dead brown vested man falls limply to the ground while Aora doesn't even look back at her kill, and instead shakes the blood off of her hand with one swipe all over Abigail's innocent self.

Abigail screams after seeing and feeling the gruesome death, in which she quickly bends down, grabbing her father's shoulders as she starts dragging him away through the sand at an impressive speed.

"Now then, I suppose all of you are- or were aligned with that criminal correct? After all, I've already taken out quite a few criminals wearing clothing similar to yours in the past hour." Aora says in a confident tone as she finally turns herself around, looking towards the group of brown vested men. A few of them have started running off towards the destroyed entrance of Virile's mansion, while the rest have stayed behind and are holding out their weapons in fear.

"FOR BOSS!!" One of the men shout out a war cry shakily as the group starts to shout as well and to charge towards Aora. In response she bends down and starts to run- no, bolt towards the men with ludicrous speed.

A/N: After the fight seemed hopeless when Virile obtained a shocking second Blessing, a SECOND savior appears and shatters Virile and his masculinity with one humiliating blow!! Just what will this monstrous woman do next?!

Before I say anything, shoutout to Blackcrimson453 for guessing that Aora was the dangerous woman who was mentioned in the previous chapters!

SHE'S HERE!!!!!!!!! YES YES YES! Ohoho boy, where do I begin.

First of all, fun fact, this entire arc was made around Aora's character. To create Abigail, I simply made a girl who's the polar opposite of the Commander, so frail and timid. I did this to create a good "foil". And I got the idea of Virile's character and his morals from how Aora acts, and I used him to prove how strong Aora is lol.

And yes, it's Aora, not Aura. I was originally going to have her name be Aura, but I felt that was too simple, so I spiced it up with Aora lol. The word Aura came from the word Aora, so hey it still works.

Long story short? I really, really love Aora's character-

I hope you guys consider voting or commenting if you enjoyed, and see you next week!
