You'll Never See It Coming
""My body... I can't move," he muttered as a cold shiver ran down his spine while a sinister Slicer strided forward, closing the gap between them.
Even though at his first attempt he could not move or even go as a far as to flinch, he was backed agaisnt the corner yet again. Like a wounded antelope devoured alive by a pack hyenas. The only thing that he could do was watch as Slicer closed in to seal his doom.
Fustrated by the prospect of his outcome, he clenched his teeth and wrinkled his nose. Poor Peter what could he do, just when he was about to clad the gauntlet of victory, fate on the other hand was not so kind. Constantly favouring his adversaries side while finding means to strip of him of his victory.
With each step that Slicer took, he was able to plunge fear in his desolate heart without lifting a finger. Such intimidation has the star power to boast of his all but intimidating aura.
"You must be wondering why your body can't move. Allow me me to indulge you right before I put you out of your misery. The Golden Phoenix is form not like any other, as seen your power level increases exponentially with each second. However such a power source demands a lot on your body. In simple terms, the stronger you get the more it depletes your energy. Hence why you are in this state, immobile and vulnerable to all eminent dangers."
Slicer then crouched towards the ground and clasped his hand around his scruff. He then raised his body and locked eyes with him.
"I'm going to enjoy this moment to the best of my ability. Therefore I advice you to enjoy it just as much as I would."
He poised the blade where his countenance lay. And right before he was about to impale him, something out of context took place. His blade haulted along its tracks, infuriating him in the process. He growled with signifying fury and turned around to face his back.
And before him stood a mighty adversary, his name was none other than Max. The latter had stretched his hands towards him while a colourless orb illuminated from his bare hands.
"Sorry to bother you pal. But we still need our friend. If you could excuse me allow me to take him with me without any deploration of violence."
"You misreable brat do you even know what you're are asking? I suppose you are to brain dead to realise that and you so desperatly need me to drill that fact into your head," sneered Slicer as he narrowed his brows.
"Oh is that a fact, then I dare you to come down here and do so," Taunted Max with shear conviction.
Slicer released Pete from his grip and attempted to press forward, trying all he could to take a step further. However with Max in control of his kinetic abilities, he could not move his leg even so much as a flinch.
Gnashing his teeth in protest against Max's abilities he voiced his thoughts through his low murmurs. "His abilities are thorn in my neck I am gonna kill that brat!"
A streak of red lightning flashes occupied the vaccum of his eyes, therein sending chills down Max's spine. "That does not look good!"
From the sky a puff of pregnant clouds intergrated, bumping against one another as Slicer prepared a swift lightning strike. Fortunately for Max, Yung Fu emerged from the side and landed a side kick on the left side of his face. The force of his kick repelled him at further distance, as he then collided through the window of a coffee shop.
Slicer's body pummeled against the floor. And when he had realised what happened, he flipped himself up til he stood on his feet and directed his attention towards Yung fu. With movements faster than that of a speeding bullet, he transitioned away from where he stood and appeared behind Yung Fu. And just as he was about strike him with a round house kick, Kuhn Lau also emerged from the side and smudged the tip of his staff against the bridge of Slicer's nose. The force of his assault repelled him at even greater distance.
Yet again Slicer flipped himself back to his feet and grunted. He went forth for the attack but Viper intercepted before he could do anything. A coil of wooden vines slithered around his body, holding his upper and lower limbs incarcerated.
With the vines still coiled around his limbs, Max also kept him stationed from where he stood with his outstretched arms.
"Do it now Ace there isn't much time left!" Ace then stepped forward, in doing so he crouched towards the ground. And with the much needed force he propelled himself with the might stalled deep in the core of his thighs. Upon reaching his target he thrusted the scythe through his chest, essentially carving a crevice. He pulled the scythe out and thrusted it once more.
"No I cannot allow myself to be defeated at the hands of these weaklings!" he mumbled with fustration.
While sinking in a soil of fustration Ace continued with the slaughter, hammering at him to the best of his ability as each chop carved an even wider crevice. So wide that the emerald stone beoyed amist the core of his chest. The stone was carved in the same structure as that of a modern round brilliant cut.
With the others still keeping him incarcerated with their kinetic abilities, Ace took the emerald stone and shone an all but inspiring gaze at it. Ironically enough Slicer was still alive even with his power source lying in the wists of his grasp.
Kuhn Lau smiled with relief while Ace placed the stone on the ground and raised the scythe above him.
"This is it the moment we all were waiting for has arrived," applauded Kuhn Lau with his brows arched with excitement.
When the scythe was about to cut through the stone, an unidentified figure appeared of know where and blocked the attack with his finger. Astoundingly this figure's finger did not combust. Such an outlandish outcome caused Ace to drop his jaw with gobsmack as he took a couple of steps back.
When he locked eyes with this figure he was not able to recognise any similar feature about him. Rather this stranger's black cold eyes pierced through the windows of his soul.
From afar the other Guardians bore witness to what they consequently saw with their own eyes. Taken by dismay their mouths were also wide open, testify of horror that they have not been exposed to for for a long time.
A terrified Ace stuttered, unable to voice his thought. " How... is...how...how is that possible?"
The figure replied with a deep broad voice, "Every now and then people die, but not because death had chosen the wrong person. Rather fate had decided that it was their time. In this case it is not my brother's time to die. For the future has a lot of things in store for him. And we in turn will labour to deploy such into materialisation."
Perplexed his eyeballs nearly sprung out from his sockets, "We?" Inquired Ace as he took another step back, nearly stumbling on the ground.
With courage he glanced at this figure's outlook. For he had worn a mask of a human skull. The mask had covered the entirety of his head while a scar was carved on the edge of his right socket. The figure answered, "Yes we..."
Ace tendered his stare away from the stranger and glanced at his 3 followers. One was a Rastafarian and he went by the alias of Rasta. Rasta wielded a Katana and wore a long leathered coat that stetched beyond his ankles. Then aside him stood a muscular figure, his name was Bulldog and he had worn a white sleeveless vest and blue jeans. And in his grip he weilded a tremendious machine gun. And finally the last figure that stood aside Bulldog was slim and had the same hairstke as that of a punk. Red spikey hair he had and cladded a jesery with spikes strapped on his shoulders.
Meanwhile the leader of these 3 continued to address Ace. "An Alliance Of Extermination."
"Who...who... are you?"
"You do not know? I am the Overlord of the Seventh Universe, Killertron. " Ace clenched his fist and attempted to propellel a shockwave, just as he was about to do so Killertron in turn propelled an air pressure projectile attack at him. The projectile attack momentarily attacked his nervous system, temporarily paralysing him with complete shock as he blacked out.
Killertron then looked at Pete. "You must be the one who defeated my brother. I applaud you for that because not many have the say to claim his defeat. Fare warning do not potray yourself as a hero, you only be responsible for the lives of your loved ones."
He then opened his hand and carved a ball made of lava.
"What is he doing?" Inquired Viper.
"I don't know know but whatever it is, it does not look good !" Kuhn Lau answered while Killertron shoved the ball of lava through the ground. In doing so the ground shook violently at the might of his power. From behind, Bulldog and Slaughter emancipated Slicer him from the coil of the wooden vines. Rasta also grabbed Slicer's emerald stone while Killertron bode his departure.
"Let's go we're finished here!" Said Killertron as he opened a breach and stepped inside of it, the rest of his followers trailed after him. Meanwhile the ground that the other Guardians stood on shook much more violently. So much so that an earth fissure formed and spread rapidly through out the street block. The width of the earth fissure stretched beyond 300 feet in width and a 1 000 feet 9n height.
"What is happening?" Asked Indistructo as Yung Fu replied to his query. "I don't know, if I'm not mistaken I'd say that he wants to destroy the city."
To solidify Yung Fu's statement, more earth fissures developed everywhere around the city. Buidlings began collapsing or others fell on top of each buildings, initially forming the domino effect.
"We have to get outta here!" Exclaimed Max as a geysers sprung up from every fissure in the city. To make matters, these were no ordinary springs of hot waters. In truth it was only lava ash seeping out. As soon as the ash landed on the ground it began to spread across the city covering a large area of it.
Kuhn Lau quickly directed his gaze at Pete, who unfortunately was on the other side of the earth fissure. "Quickly grab Pete so that we can get out of here!"
Indistructo nodded and took off to the other side, however along his way he was struck by a molten rock that came out of know where. He landed a mere meters away from Pete's immobile body upon his brutal landing.
As he crawled up to his feet, he wondered where all the molten rocks came from. And when he looked at the fissure, it became more apparent as a storm of molten rocks came gushing out.
He finally managed to stand close to his body and when he did, he placed him on shoulders and took off as more molten rocks were shooting out from the earth fissure.
Yung Fu on the other hand also placed Ace on his shoulders and flew with him. Since Max was wearing a metal suit, he used the thrusters to propell himself off the ground while the rest of the Guardians flew followed after them. Within minutes, the entire city was done away with by a flood of lava.
