Chapter 273: Scary Monsters
"C'mon Johnny! We got to get to the top before Diego beats us there!" Gyro shouts out as he's dragging Johnny along while using the spin throughout his body to temporarily activate his legs once again.
"!! Gyro! Your lips! Shit we're starting to change into Dinosaurs too!" Johnny couldn't help but shout out as he realized that his skin was slowly beginning to get scalie while Gyros mouth was slowly getting longer as his lips got closer to his ears along with the sharpening of their teeth.
Though they could see the half human half dinosaur form of Diego jumping from one ledge to another getting higher and higher up the cliff, and to their dismay ended up passing them and reaching the peak.
"URRRRRSSSSSSHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!" They heard Diego shout out which to them sounded like a victory screech and making them frown all while they knew Diego had gotten the corpse part they were searching for, however-
*Woosh!* as they were about to get over the edge they saw Diego being launched over the cliff as if he had been hit by something both fast and strong.
Though he feel nearly fifty feet before his claws stabbed into the side of the mountain to keep him from falling from his death they did notice his form revert mostly back to a human form with only his hands, feet and tail still being the same.
"You two need a hand?" They heard overhead making them both look up as their eyes widened at who they saw offering a helping hand.
"Hifumi?!"
******
After hearing their surprised shout I was here I pulled both of them up, "Hifumi, what are you doing up here exactly?" Johnny asked though he was hoping I was here for another reason.
"Oh you know, just seeing the sights, getting a better look at the beauty of the moon and the stars, but you two can guess the real reason why I'm here." I say looking at them and letting them get a good look at my eyes that had both changed from their original brown to green color along with letters inside of my eyeballs on top of that.
Seeing that along with being away from each other for more than a week now along with everything they knew and learned Gyro was holding his Steel Ball while Johnny's nails began to spin.
"Really Johnny? Gyro? Do you really see me as an enemy now just because I have some of the saints corpse for myself? Though do you have time to keep focusing on me while your bodies are starting to become dinosaurs?" I ask making them both realize that their bodies were still slowly becoming Dinosaurs but more so Gyro.
Before either could react I grabbed Gyro and sent a pulse of energy powered by both my Spiral powers with the empowerment of the Saints Corpse Heart along with my eyes reverted his body back to normal allowing to keep his sanity in the process.
"Hoooo…. Damn…. That was close…. I felt like I was about to lose it…." Gyro said realizing how he was getting close to losing his mind as he sighed in relief for being let go by me.
"Johnny, Gyro, let me say this, no matter what I'm not your enemy, but I need the Corpse Parts to figure out a way to heal my crippled energy, and with these eyes I have both found a lead in that direction along with the direction to the next corpse parts, directions I shall willingly give to you along with one of these eyes if you allow me to retrieve my own part for myself." I said to them as they both looked at me with slightly widened eyes when I said that.
"Directions you say? Is what I'm hearing right Mr.Yamada? Those parts you have taken of the saint corpse have given you a location to the next ones correct?" We both hear a new voice as an effeminate man crested the ridge on the back of a raptor.
"Ahh, so your the one making all these dinosaurs coming to life I presume?" I say which confuses Johnny and Gyro.
"Wait, isn't the dinosaur stand Diego's ability?" Johnny asks to which I shake my head.
"If that was true then why would he be riding a raptors back and not a raptor himself, the picture is clear as day, he's the one that change Diego and all the villagers down in that village and anything else he could get his hands on to become dinosaurs for him to use, so I guess the president sent you here to get the corpse part here and the one I stole from him right?" I say which confuses Johnny and Gyro more so.
"Of course, all the parts are needed to achieve the grand plan, and he is most displeased with you stealing the heart from his grasp back at Monument Valley, he's going to send everything he has to take what you stole back and make you and your lover the ultimate price for your actions…." He says as I rub my chin as a fire begins to ignite in my eyes.
"Really now? Is that a threat? Are you here to take my life in his stead? Because since you don't know his power you don't realize how out classed you are if he couldn't stop me personally, even if you had an army of dinosaurs at your beck and call you wouldn't stand a chance against me." I say as I lift up my hand and point towards him all while both Gyro and Johnny noticed the gravel and sand began to spiral around my feet as they saw hundreds of rotational spins crawl along my body towards my right index finger as at the same time my finger itself turned pitch black making me clench my teeth hard enough to make my gums bleed.
"What is this? What are you doing Hifumi Yamada?!" He couldn't help but shout out as he unconsciously had all the dinosaurs begin to surround him to keep him safe.
"Got no clue who you are Dino guy, but today is the day you die, so let me show you what these eyes have begun to tell me how to view the world!" I say as I take aim towards him.
Miniture seismic waves exited out from my feet and all around me to give me a view as if I was watching it all with the sight of echolocation giving me a clear view of everything around me, even the slowly returning Diego nearby.
But I knew where he was at the target I had marked in my mind as I grabbed my hand that was holding my finger gun aim at him.
[True Spiral First Form: Dead Man's Hand]
Soon enough I unleashed my attack which while not making any noise forced my hand back as if I shot off an extremely high powered hand cannon before a giant blooming of blood appeared before us all while the man's headless body was sent flying away before it tumbled down the ridge before coming to a stop over a small rock formation.
Soon enough the dinosaurs fell before returning back to their human forms and animals back to their original forms themselves to which a few cougars ran off and dragged off the man's corpse as I fell to my knees while gripping my now bloodied and mangled hand.
I look over at them both, "Well then, seems I will have some explaining to do, for now let's get back to the village so we can rest, I know you guys want to get ahead of the others but I have a shortcut we can take that will save us hours in this race…. And Diego, if you value your life you will stay out of this mess you were pulled into." I say looking to the side as they look to see the still some what wounded Diego from earlier leaning against some rocks as he had blood dripping down his mouth.
He didn't say anything but he coughed some more blood up before falling down, "Lucky for him it's not his time to die, now let's go you two and I will let you in on what I know while keeping my promise to you both." I say leading the way for them back to the village.
I'm beginning to understand how the two should work together, but if not balanced correctly could lead to disastrous results.
If my defense wasn't naturally that strong thanks to having LinLin's natural Physique as my own I wouldn't have a mangled hand right now.
No my entire arm would have been ripped off my body from the recoil alone, but it's all a game of trail and error, the more uses I give the sooner I will perfect it.
The sooner I find a way to regain my strength and protect my world from what I had no choice but to make.
And then I believe I will have the power to begin hunting down those 8 and deal with anything Junko decides to throw my way.
