Chapter 26: Chop

"And that my friend, is the tragic story of Alessia the first vibe user" Dr Shane finished. "Wow that was a cool story I actually almost gave a shit." Henry said. You're being held down yet you still have the courage to speak back." Dr Shane said with a smile. "Aww what did you expect me to piss my pants or something." Henry replied with sarcasm.

"Earlier you mentioned "them" and right now the story you told us was about one person, but later you said she birthed 5 children." Isaiah said. Reina and Henry looked at him with confusion. "So tell me this the 5 children she birthed are they the "them" you keep referring to?" Isaiah asked. "Precisely, as expected of a noble. The Children are the ones who will bring change to this world, and bring about a new era." Dr Shane added.

"You mean the ones who brought," Reina said.

"I know what I said, foolish girl, they will bring about a new era in which they rule in absolute power." Dr Shane said. "Us their loyal subjects get to sit at their prestigious throne and serve them while we dwell in our self riotousness." Dr Shane continued.

"This is hypocrisy" Henry's said. "No this is the future." Dr Shane snapped his fingers, as a muscular blue glowing person appeared in front of them.

"As of right now, you're all in the way of our future, still your're no match for me as well, and if you let this mutant over here end your life, we'll then you aren't as special as I thought." He commented as he walked towards the mutated human. "Make sure none of them get to see another day." He said as he walked through the portal closing it.

The trio were able to get up again, since the technique had worn off, due to the caster's distance. They look over to the mutated human which was 3x their size as it stayed in one place for a set amount of time. As if a trigger was being pulled, its dark voided eyes were lit a shiny blue glow. It charged towards them as Isaiah conjured his hatchets.

Like a Bull, the mutated human went in for a fatal punch on Isaiah's whole body. Isaiah dodged the attack by jumping in the air and sending a kick to the left side of the beast's face. "Strike" he said. The creature spun around and went for another punch on Isaiah again, once more Isaiah dodged with a spin in the air before kicking the mutant's head. Isaiah then leaped back next to Reina only to notice none of his attacks were effective.

"Damn not a single scratch." He says. "We all have to attack him at the same time and coordinate or at-" Reina stoped as she saw the mutant in front of Isaiah going for a punch. 'He's fast fuck I won't be able to dodge in time ' Isaiah thought.

The beast punched him, as he flew through multiple trees and buildings the creature followed behind. He finally landed on the floor when he looked up to see the creature jumping in the sky towards him. "FUCK." He said moving out of the way. The force of the landing had Isaiah flying in the air. He finally regained himself and prepared for another attack.

"COME GET ME." He screamed summoning his hatchets. With a dash he blitz towards the Mutant he slashed down as the hatchets got stuck on the arm of the mutant. 'Damn, it's not going any deeper, what's this guy made of steel?' He thought as he puts his legs on the creatures chest and pushed himself back. "ISAIAH WE FINALLY CAUGHT UP TO YOU." Henry screamed from behind the creature. He then summoned his bow and shot at the beast.

The bow split into tiny forms as they all, hit the mutant, but had no effect on it. "What the hell?" Henry thought as the creature ran towards him. "Maybe this might work. He said shooting another arrow at him, but this time this arrow didn't break apart and went straight through the mutant's arm.

"That worked." Isaiah said. The creature was furious, it stopped it's bleeding as it went for Henry once more. Reina went in front of Henry and raised three trees towards the mutant, pushing it away. Isaiah got close to the two. "We need a plan asap, any ideas?." He asked. They both shook their heads. A boulder came flying as the trio leaped from the floor they were on. They all landed on the roof of three separate buildings.

The creature Jumped to the roof Reina was on. The right hand of the mutated human had a light blue glow as he winded his arm back. Reina knew instinctively she had to run. It thrusted its arm and a blue Shock wave destroyed a huge chunk of the building.

Reina was able to dodge,but she landed on the very edge that didn't get chipped off. The stone she was standing on broke apart as she was left dangling with her arms holding her up. The mutant then went for another punch again. At that split second Isaiah threw his two ethereal hatchets at the mutant's face.

They hit the target, yet failed to do any damage. One of the hatchet's vanished while the other fell on the building. The mutant even without suffering any damage stopped it's attack and went towards Isaiah. "Reina let me help you." Henry said walking towards her. Isaiah stared frantically at Reina and Henry before looking at the monster his eyes suddenly lit up and his mouth opened.

'That's it.' He thought. He summoned another round of hatchets. As he stepped on the side of one of the houses then leaped from it towards the mutant. The creature went in for a punch while Isaiah countered by swinging both his axes at the fist. The Axes shattered and Isaiah was sent launching through a building. The creature didn't stop as it charged its fists with increasing amounts of vibe energy. He began punching without haste as blue energy caused mayhem to the building.

Henrey had just finished pulling Reina up when they noticed the creature punching Isaiah to the building and demolishing it "Isaiah we have to help him" Reina said with haste. "Yeah, but we won't be able to get there fast enough and if I tried to stop him my normal arrows can't penetrate his skin." Henry said.

"He's right there's no hope saving me." Isaiah said coming from behind the two. "Isaiah… what… how…" Reina said dumbfounded along side Henry. "Relax before I crashed through the building I teleported here with one of my real hatchets." He explained. "What? So you mean to tell me you had an ability like that and you're just now using it?." Henry asked. "Yes" Isaiah replied with a serious face.

"Right now he still thinks I'm over there now's my only chance to expose its weakness." Isaiah said. He walked infront of them and pointed to the creature. "The only time the mutant attacks is when it's been provoked. My guess is if it detects an energy signature doing harm to it can trace it back to the source of the particular energy signature. That's how it was able to come after me while it was focusing on trying to kill Reina." Isaiah explained.

"Not a bad theory." Henry remarked. "How long have you even known about this." Henry asked. "I had my suspicions the first time Reina hit it with a tree, it suddenly went towards her the same way it did to me and you, but then I knew my hypothesis was correct when I threw my hatchets at it, and it went for me instead of finishing Reina off." He finished. "Well now that we know this information, what will we do with it? We still aren't able to land a scratch on that thing" Henry asked. "I have a plan." Isaiah said.

The mutant had turned the building into rubble. Not detecting Isaiah's energy signature from the rubble it wondered around.

"HEY LOW BUDGET AKAZA." Isaiah screamed from a building . [hostile energy signature detected]. The system in the mutant's brain said. "COME GET ME YOU SON OF A BITCH" Isaiah taunted running away. With a roar and a large thud the creature leaped from the ground to Isaiah's building. Obliterating the roof. And pulling Isaiah down with him.

The mutant crashed on the floor, as dust and rubble coverEd him. Isaiah was able to hold himself up on the side of the building with one of his side hatchets. He looked down at the inside of the infrastructure. "Here he comes." Isaiah said as he swung himself into a one of the floors as the creature leaped from the rubble trying to kill him. It followed Isaiah crashing through the walls and furniture.. Isaiah reached a dead end as he cut it down with his hatchet leaping through the hole back first.

Infront of him was the Mutant ready to pulverize him. With both his hatchets in his hands, One word escaped Isaiah's mouth, "Chop" the fists that were about to crush Isaiah were repelled as the mutant was knocked back through the building. Isaiah landed on the ground with both feet. He looked up and saw the mutant already above him about to punch him again. "Vibe technique, Chop." He said as he dodged with a jump and swung his left hatchet at the mutant's face.

Blood dropped from the mutant's face in strips as it was in disbelief. The creature was enraged as it roared and went for another strike. Isaiah stood still and stared at the creature as he whistled. A large purple Arrow went through the mutant's neck cutting only half of it. "The creature looked at Henry's direction, it tried to leap towards him, when it was enveloped in a blue glow and suddenly felt heavy. "Vibe technique, muscle manipulation." Reina said, as her eyes radiated a dark blue.

[flash back]

"When I give you the signal i want you to shoot another of those large arrows you did before" Isaiah said to Henry. "What ever you're planing. It better work because I can only shoot my Grand arrows twice a day." Henry replied. "Reina, I will need your telekinetic abilities to keep him in place, can you do it?" Isaiah asked. "You can count on me"she replied. "I hope you're not relying on my arrow to finish him off are you?" Henry asked.

"Don't worry about that part of the plan-." Isaiah said as he finally opens the hatchets on his sides and grabbed them. "leave it to me" he finished as he jumped away from the building. "Talk about dramatic exit," Reina commented.

[present time]

Holding the both hatchets, he rushed towards the creature. The creature used both its arms to cover the remaining part of it's neck. 'When I use Chop, I'm releasing a large amount of my vibe energy in the air to cause damage even still it will only give a minor injury at most, However, what would happpen when I don't release it and kept the dense amount of energy stored' The young noble Isaiah thought. He leaped in the air with a diagonal spin. "Maul." He infused the rip of his axes with dense amounts of vibe energy and chopped both arms clean off. 'It worked' he thought.

He landed behind the mutant and immediately went for the neck. The mutant's neck began glowing blue the moment Isaiah's hatchet made contact, it hatchet got repelled as the energy prevented it from going any deeper. "I can't push the hatchet through." Isaiah thought with shock in his eyes. " no… I can't stop here not when we're very close..." He says. Before closing his eyes and coming to realization.

'When Kai showed me how to cut wood, he'd always do it in one strike, something I couldn't, but I'm not Kai. When it comes to cutting wood, sometimes the axe gets stuck, so you rewind your hand, fix your posture and center yourself, and when your done.' Isaiah stopped.

His eyes wide open, legs and arms centered, he swung both his hatchets towards the neck of the mutant, "when you're done, you chop with a stronger, deadlier cut." Isaiah said chopping the mutant's head clean off as he spun in the air, then the floor. "Vibe technique, Final timber." Isaiah finished. Both his hatchets pointed behind him and eyes closed. He exhaled a warm breath of relief as he opens his eyes and looked at the decapitated monster.

He looked over to Reina and Henrey who were both drained. "That was pretty fun." Henry remarked. "How bout we do that again some time." He continued. "Did you kill it?" Reina asked. "Yeah we won't be hearing from that monster ever again." Isaiah said. "Cmon get up, we still have to check for any survivors around the area. Isaiah helped Reina and Henry up as he noticed a blue glowing light behind him. The mutant had reattached it's head and was beginning to glow.

[200 errors detected... machine is no longer effective….. self destruction in, 10….9] a voice said coming from inside the mutant, as it's body began the swell.

"Shit we have to run." Isaiah said.

"Vibe technique, Fragrant, aroma." A hooded girl says. She touched the head of the mutant as it's light began to dim. "I think you've done enough, here don't you think." She says. She grasped the mutant's head as steam began to rise from its ears.

The trio stared at her with amaze,

"who are you" Isaiah asked. In amaze.

She walked towards them, and gave a long glimpse.

"I'm Kami Leonhert, Vibe user of telepathy and illusions." She said taking her hood off.
