Chapter 5 Nigiel Keth

Me and Sebrisha walked towards the 2 robots that were blasting loud music, I looked back to see if Roby had gotten in position, and indeed he was. I told Roby to stay posted on top of a trash and be prepared to shoot once given the signal. As we were walking towards the 2 robots, I managed to get a good detail of them the closer we got. 

The one on the left was as about 5 feet tall, and was also surprisingly skinny for a robot, The robot was also wearing bright pink cloths, so bright in fact that it my eye's just looking at it. The robot also had some items on it that were.... Interesting to say. In the robot's hands was a Large black book that had the words {The Arts of blood} written in blood on its cover in its right hand, in its left hand was some sort of large staff that had a green gem on the top of it. 

The one on the right was almost the exact opposite from the one on the left, this robot was over 7 feet tall, Bulky with full metal plating on most of its body, and was wearing all gray cloths with red stripes on them. This robot was armed with somewhat dull weapons, it had a great 2 handed ax in one hand along with a double barrel shotgun in the other, and 2 long swords on both sides of its hip's...... Yeah that shotguns not piercing my suit. 

We both continued walking towards the robots for about 30 seconds until we made it to each other, we stopped once we made it within 5 yards of each other and just stood there staring at each other. 

The air was silent for what felt like an eternity with all of us looking around to see who will make the first move, after a couple of more seconds of just standing there, I finally got fed up with the silence and just blurted out the first thing on my mind. 

"So, how are y'all doing," I asked the robots. Sebrisha turned head in my direction like I had asked if apples could get pregnant, she was then about to say something after but got interrupted by the robot's actually answering the question. 

"Were doing pretty good," The pink robot answered. I don't know why but I was surprised that she sounded like a Girl A.I. voiceover in her mid 20's. 

"Wait, You two can talk," Me and sebrisha asked at the same time. 

"Of Course we can talk, what made you think we couldn't," The robot in dark gray clothes said. 

"Because your Kind usually can't talk unless your equipped with advanced hardware and even then, it doesn't explain your condition," Sebrisha said with a straight and no remorse. 

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, your kind is crazy" The Gray robot said with a laugh. 

"Yeah, that was pretty wild Sebrisha I'm not even going to lie," I said while looking her sideways. 

"Wait, no, that's not how I meant to say it, I meant you people usually aren't sentient enough to have a normal conver-," Sebrisha tried to explain but stopped in the middle of it because she just noticed what she had said a bit too late. 

 "You people," Both the robots shouted in shock as both clenched their weapons, oh my god, how is she making thing's worse on complete accident. 

"Wait that's not what I meant say, I meant you guys were working in the factory back then and some of y'all couldn't even form an actual sentence," Sebrisha said. 

"Shut up," I yelled while getting Infront of her as the robot left staff began to glow a lime green color. 

"I apologies on her behalf sir, you see none of us get out much we-," I tried to explain only for the gray robot to pull out his shotgun and shoot at me. I put both of my hands up to and blocked the shot with the best of my ability but still got knocked off balance due to the force of the slug. 

"Apologies accepted, but we all still came down here to fight now didn't we," The grey robot laughed as he holstered the shot gun in his pouch on his back, Sebrisha then pushed my back to help regain my balance. 

"Why does this revenant even want to kill us," I growled while lifting my scythe getting ready leap at him. 

"That revenant up there is Master Abel for your information, and I doubt he actually wants to kill you because if he did.... He would have done so already," The pink robot said as she began charging up a spell. 

"So, try to make it entertaining for the master and he most likely just let you go," The grey robot had said as he lifted his great axe. Alright, there goes the peaceful negotiation, now it's time for the signal. 

"NOODLES," I screamed at the top of my lungs, both of the robots froze in place due to the confusion of what I screamed, most likely trying to make sense of it. 

"What," The pink robot said before a bolt shot her book out of her hand. As soon as the book hit, Sebrisha then threw a mixture at the pink robot. The mixture hit the robot on the chest, then Ice started spreading over the robot rabidly causing the robot to now be completely Immobilized. Sebrisha then proceeded to throw another mixture at the pink robot, this time the mixture actually exploded like a firework when it hit the robot, causing the robot to fly across the trash hole and land in one of the trash piles. 

"Oh, come on washer, how did you let them steal your butt like 3rd base like that," The gray robot laughed as he hit began to charge at us, as soon as I saw that I then proceeded to pull out my cross and began chanting in my head to cast a spell. As soon as the robot got within 3 yards, I cast my incantation. 

"BLINDING FAITH," I yelled out as gold light burst out of the cross in the gray robot's direction. The gold light managed to blind the robot but not stop him from charging at us, the robot then proceeded to go for a chop. Me and Sebrisha easily dodges the attack poorly aimed attack, I then cranked my scythe back and proceeded to hit the gray robot in its chest with a rising strike. 

The Scythe didn't pierce threw the robot though due to his tough Iron plaiting, but it causes him to somewhat stumble, The then back step a good distance after the strike and proceeded to check the place where the scythe hit him. 

"Did you really yell out the spell you just used before you had casted it," Sebrisha said while running at the book the pink robot dropped and quickly picked it up to keep it from the robot. 

"Yeah," I said while charging at the grey robot with my scythe ready to strike. 

"Why," Sebrisha asked as she raised her gauntlet up and a blue glow started lighting up in its palm. 

"Because casting a spell is easier when you yell out its name.... and it also looks cooler," I yelled as I went for an overhead strike, The grey robot managed to dodge my attack, proceeded to hit me with the poll of the axe to stager me, and then attempted to hit me again with a chop. 

I managed to block the attack with the poll of my scythe but the force was so strong and heavy that it brought me down to knee's, I was already struggling block the Robot's attack but due to me losing concentration on the scythe during this I completely dropped the scythe which gotten too heavy for me to hold. I then quickly managed to catch the robot's arm with my shoulder, grabbed his arm, and proceeded to barely judo throw the robot over my shoulders. The robot hit the ground with a hard crash, He hit the ground so hard that he managed to sink into the trash floor. 

"Um, you might want to lay off.... whatever you're eating man," I said while hitting the robot with a knee to the face while he was still down. After I hit him with the knee, I realized that none of hits I hit him with had affected him. Before I could go for another hit a blue light that looked like a small slow-moving shooting star Hit the robot on the side of the head, I looked over at Sebrisha who's palm is fading of the blue light due to her casting a spell. 

"Wait, you're a mage," I said in shock while doing my best to hold the robot down on the ground. 

"I'm a little bit of a Sorceress," While reaching in her bag again. The robot was holding managed to break my grip on him with pure ease, he proceeded to grab one of my horns and slowly lifted me up off the ground as he began to stand up. I attempt to pry the robot's grip off my horns, but his hands wouldn't budge. 

"Well, that's enough of that," The robot said as he let my horns go and punched me square in the chest. The punch was so strong that it knocked most of the air out of my lungs and almost made me drop to a knee, The robot then proceeded to go for another swing with his axe and This time the axe managed to my right arm. 

The hit made me hit the ground face first eating all types of trash we were walking, and that's when I had a good idea while I was in pain. I Dug my arms into trash below and quickly felt for a useful Item that could help in this moment, the robot then grabbed my horn and lifted me back up, but before it did, I was able to grab a spray bottle. 

"I Hope you got more tricks up your sleeves than just that one spell Fr-," The gray robot said as I interrupted him by spraying him with green spray paint on his face. I only managed to get half of the robot's face before he quickly let go of me and guard the rest of his face before I could cover anymore. The robot tried to wipe the green paint off his face but before he could, I managed to grab a large piece of metal from the trash floor and cracked it against the robot's knee. The robot then dropped due to the hit knocking him off balance, The robot managed to catch himself from falling down completely, then tried to swing his axe at me again only to receive another flying knee kick to the face before he could do it. 

The robot fell on his back after the hit and before he could even recover, I jump on the robot's chest, picked back the large metal poll, and was going to cave the robot's head in, But I stopped. 

Am I really going to kill someone, I know I destroyed a bunch of robots a few minutes ago but those things didn't have a conscience, this is an actual person I'm attempting to bash right now. 

"Hmm, oh this must be your first fight Freak," The Grey robot said as he punched me off him and began getting back up on his feet. 

"Well pro tip Freak, Hesitation during a fight, almost always leads to death," The grey robot said in somewhat of a regretful tone. 

"Pazzo move out of the way, I'm going to hit with an-," Sebrisha was saying before Interrupted by a green explosion that sent her flying far, like she somehow was able to get sent flying over the trash hills behind. 

"Hey," I said while hearing the gray robot quickly approach me while I looked away, I put my metal pole up just in time to be able to guard against the Kick the Grey robot hit me with. The Kick was so strong that it completely bent the Metal pole and managed to knock back by 1 yard. 

"And always keep tabs on your main opponent Freak," The grey robot said as he was standing Infront of me and lifting back up his axe. I began to get up and looked in the direction of were that green explosion came from, And, well guess robots should be durable due to them being made of metal. The pink robot that Sebrisha sent flying across the trash hole somehow managed to recover despite being frozen and blown up. 

"Finally, you got up, what were you even doing over there, sleeping," The robots said as he turned his head to look at him. As soon as he turned his head I quickly ran to right and quickly scooped the scythe dropped as the grey robot was distracted, and made a run for it over a trash hill in the opposite direction of were Sebrisha flew. There is no way I can fight both of them at the same time, it's best for us if I can at least split them up. 

"Cleaner, you go after the Freak, And I'll go after the Owl, that spell I hit her with shouldn't have killed her that easily," Washer said to the grey robot before she walked in the direction that Sebrisha flew in, I won't be able to beat this guy in an open field, Let's see how he good he is in a crowded area. 

15 Minutes later 

"Yeah, this place is all types of crowded just like I remembered it to be, Good," I said to myself as I began to Hide behind some collapse low pipes. The place I ran to was actually a piece of a collapsed building that I'm pretty sure was a building pipes maintenance due to the Entire building just having nothing but metal pipes inside of it. The reason I chose this place to hide is because there is no way I can fight Cleaner in the open with no cover, I needed someplace were my can fight best in and were someone his height would find it difficult to even move around in. 

I was here waiting for about 10 minutes, and he still has not shown his face, I lifted my scythe and began to Leen back against the pipes. After 3 more minutes, I began to get sleepy due to leaning on the pipes for so long and my eyes were getting heavy due to the sleepiness and was slowly drifting into a snooze. 

"You know what, I'll just wait right here until he gets around," I said drowsily as I slowly drifted to sleep. I must have slept for a long time to because after what seemed to have been an while something tapped me on my chest, I woke up and wasn't even surprised that it was Cleaner who the one who woke me up, just as expected. 

"Did you really fall asleep," Cleaner said in disbelief staring down at me while lifting his axe. 

"No, I was actually laying down so the giant spider wouldn't fall on top of me," I said while pointing up at the ceiling. Cleaner quickly dropped his guard and looked at the ceiling, and I proceeded to head butt him with my horns. I managed to knock cleaner back and before he could catch himself, He tripped over some pipes near his feet, I then quickly grabbed my cross from my side and proceeded to cast out old reliable. 

"Blinding faith," I yelled out and stuck the cross onto my chest while pointing it at Cleaners as he was trying to get up. 

"Rah, Jesus Christ Freak you don't have to yell out the name of the spell, stop doing do that," Cleaner yelled as he was covering his face and using the pipes over him to help himself up. Before Cleaner could get up, I hit him full force on his right arm, cleaner shook it and proceeded to attempt to swing his axe at me but his axe caught a pipe before he could even swing it. 

I then swung at his right knee which made him collapse right back down to the ground, Cleaner responded back immediately by pulling his shotgun from his hip and shooting me point blank to my chest with it. The pellets of the shell didn't pierce through my suit, but the force of the slug sent me flying back into a group of pipes, I grasped my chest and quickly crawled underneath a group of pipes to recover my breath due to shotgun shell. 

As I was catching my breath, I began to crawl to the other side of the group of pipes I was under and peeked over it to see if cleaner moved any since he shot me. I spotted Cleaner standing up and reloading his shotgun, while scanning the area around him trying to find me. I then took this to my advantage and proceeded to walk over to another pair of pipes that were leading up to the ceiling and began to climb them. 

"Well, I'll got to give you some props Freak, luring me here where there is barely any room to swing or even walk normal was a smart Idea and all, but just this won't be enough if you can't even damage me," Cleaner said while finishing reloading and readying his shotgun. I continued crawling to the ceiling until I reached it and then proceeded to crawl on top the groups of pipes that were leading and attached to the ceiling. I crawled the pipes silently and managed to get directly over cleaner who was still looking around for me and I was going to drop down on his head and attack him while I had the advantage. 

But then my hand bumped into something hard, I looked over to my right and noticed that a whole sledgehammer was right beside. This thing was not here when I had crawled over, so were did it come from. I began looking around to see if someone found out my location, after a second of looking around for about 5 seconds I made eye contact with small glowing red eye's that was on one of the ceiling pipes looking at me through the darkness. I began to focus on the eyes to see what it was only to find out that it was only a pitch-black rat that I was looking at, I let out a sigh of relief and just quietly grabbed the sledgehammer by its wooden hand bar and noticed some words carved into it. 

Like He owes you money. 

I stared dead at this message in complete confusion for a couple of seconds, I then looked back up at the rat that I spotted, and the rat was slowly shaking it's head up and down. I was going to say something to the rat, but I stopped myself then went back to getting ready to drop on Cleaner. 

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, then grabbed my scythe from right beside me and tossed it close to Cleaner in the opposite direction of where I was facing. The scythe made a loud thud sound which startled Cleaner into making him shoot in the direction of the fallen scythe, and as soon as he did that, I dropped down with the sledgehammer at the ready. 

"BONK," I yelled before I smacked the sledgehammer across cleaners' blind side of his head. The hit managed to dint in Cleaners left side and shattered his left eye, And the hit was so strong that it brought Cleaner straight down on to the ground face first. 

"Finally got some damage on," I yelled as recovered from my fall and was going to go for another swing but stopped myself due to the lack of moment of Cleaner. 

"Cleaner," I said while still holding up the sledgehammer ready to swing, but cleaner still was not moving. 

"Yo, Cleaner you alright," I yelled out to hm while still on the defensive, but he still was not moving. 

"Did, did I just kill someone," I asked myself as got up close to Cleaners body and gave him a little Kick. Then before I could even react, Cleaner quickly turned around with his shot gun drawn and shot me point plank in the chest which sent me flying. I was sent flying and hit a group of metal pipes with the air knocked out of my lunges unable to breath, but before I could even recover and get up, I felt a sharp pain enter my leg as I was looking up at the ceiling. I looked down at my leg in confusion to see what the pain was, only to see the Scythe I had lodged in it. 

"Um, ah.... ow," I gasped to myself to stunned to form actual words or even scream at this moment. I must have sat there stunned for a long time because Cleaner then proceeded to walk up to me, Grab the Scythe, Lifted the scythe with me still on it, drawn one of his swords that were still sheathed on his side, then stabbed me in the shoulder stappling me to the wall. 

"Ahhhhhh," I screamed in pain as I gripped the sword that was in my shoulder, Cleaner than crossed his arms while examining me closely. 

"Sorry freak, But the Boss said to have you specifically and I quote, beat him to edge of his life and watch what happens, I'll admit, He might have been Sarcastic when he said that," Cleaner said while turning his back on me, that's when I felt a hundred needles pierce every part of my skin all around my body, oh dear. 

"None of the wounds I gave should be fatal so you should fine in a while, with proper attention," Cleaner continued as he reached for his head to check on the damage. I then felt myself slowly growing and changing in height weight, Welp this building is coming down. In just 10 seconds I managed to grow 2 ½ feet and felt a lot more cheerful and energized in a crazy way, I then pulled the sword out of my shoulder and scythe out of my leg, then slowly walked up Cleaner with a smile and tapped him on his shoulder. 

"What, how are you still able to st-," he said before looking up at me. I'm Pretty sure robots don't have hearts but I'm pretty sure something in him just stopped beating for second, Cleaner quickly recovered from his shock then quickly reached his sword and stabbed me in the stomach. Normally I would have started screaming due to pain, but instead I busted out laughing as I grabbed Cleaners head then proceeded to lift him up off the ground. 

"I hope that armor is durable," I said as put Cleaner on my shoulder began tackling threw the pipes, While I was doing this the building began collapsing, and after I finally crashed cleaner threw the wall the whole building finally collapsed. I threw Cleaner on the ground and then proceeded to look back at the building I managed to destroy in just 10 seconds and felt pride in my work. 

"Well then, I guess it's time for me to get serious Freak," Cleaner said. I turned around to face cleaner and saw that cleaner took off all his extra layers of metal and had his sword at the ready. I then grabbed his sword that was still in my stomach now then threw it at his feet, Cleaner looked at me with extreme confusion and that's when his confusion turned into shock. The stab wound that was bleeding had quickly healed at an inhuman speed; I looked at the green vain that was depleting the more the wound healed then let out a little laugh. 

"You either surrender right now, Or I'll deliver you back to your boss like a Bunch pieces," I said while reaching down to ground then lifting up a whole vending machine. But cleaner completely ignored my remark and proceeded to charge at me with both swords at the ready. 

"Ugh, it's going to hours to wash your blood from my parts when I'm done with you," Cleaner said while still charging at me. 

"Not If I turn you into scrap metal first," I yelled while swinging the vending machine at Cleaner.
