Chapitre 4: Chapter 3: The Legend Of The 12 Pieces (Part II)
"Harry's Units Down! Only the Core Remains...!"
"Master Harrison's Powerhouse and Sniper has been defeated." Harry heard those words and he was not pleased.
"Tch, bunch of useless metal."
"Is only you now Harry." Harry looks at his opponent and huffed.
"Don't get so full of yourself loser, If I take care of you then the game is over. I don't need those things to hold me down."
"What?" Richard said irritated. If there's something he hates is people who have no appreciation for his/her allies...even if those allies are androids.
"Now then let's finish this game so I can show everyone that you winning the tournament against me last year was nothing more than a fluke." Harry charges toward Richard who took a defensive stance. If Harry kept himself as a scout Richard would've chosen to fight him head-on but now Harry back to his powerful self he has to think of a way to bypass his defenses. Harry was a bit slower than him in powerhouse but he still could go toe to toe against a scout that was why he won the tournament 3 straight years...He was trained for situations like this. Harry started with an overhead slash that resulted in being block by Richard's dagger before the brown-haired boy retaliated with one of his own.
Harry back stepped and then retaliates with an upward slash that Richard back-flipped using a handstand. Richard again using his speed surrounds Harry and tries to at least land a hit on the black-haired boy but this one with the experience that he had as a champion block every single slash successfully. Harry raised his sword high and unleash a slash that transforms into an X which, made Richard use his speed to the max to get out of the way. That didn't end there because Harry starts unleashing line after line of X's in order to destroy some of the environment thus limiting the movements of his speedy opponent.
Richard aware of the black-haired boy's plan went around and started to zigzag left to right in order to get close to Harry before jumping out of the way of one of the X's and slashing Harry who had to stop his offense in order to block the brown-haired boy's attack leaving the boy in mid-air. This gave Harry the perfect opportunity to uses his strength and send him flying to the left side in which, the brown-haired boy had to roll to the ground to avoid further damage. This, however, left him vulnerable to Harry's attack and he was going for the kill this time
"This ends here loser. Oh well, It was good while it lasted." Harry smirked but before he could unleash one of his X's he had to dodge 5 incoming arrows one of them landing where he was standing while the others landed a few feet where he was currently standing. "Well, Well, Well...looks like the cavalry of losers has arrived." As in on cue Frederick and Alice appeared beside Richard who was still on the ground.
"Richard-kun!" Alice approaches the brown-haired boy who shook his head to try and calm this headache that was threatening to appear. "Are you okay?" She asked in concern.
"Yeah...just a headache is all. By the way, thanks for the save Frederick." Richard answered to Alice and thanked his spiky-haired elf archer friend.
"No problem Rick." They all looked toward their opponent who was holding his buster sword over his left shoulder.
"You know I was going to finish you up right now, but it wouldn't be as fun as taking this team apart one by one. I guess I get to have that wish now." Harry said very confidently.
"Sorry to disappoint you Harry, but your desires will have to wait because we're going to win this one." Harry laughed.
"That's rich, you and what army? This one?" Harry signaled to the brown-haired boy's companions who glared at him.
"Are you ready guys?" They nodded. "Okay...HERE...WE...GO!!" Richard went first using his speed which was blocked by Harry's strength. Harry using his strength move Richard out of the way so he could slash away the arrows that were coming his way before sidestepping to his left since Alice slammed her pole hard to the ground. Alice then tilted her pole to the left to try and hit Harry but this one blocked with his sword although, that came to be a mistake because he underestimates Alice's powerhouse strength and she sent him flying. Harry to keep from getting into a disadvantage slammed his sword to the ground so he could stop in his track only for him to get kicked by Richard in the chest sending him reeling to the ground. Luckily experience was a factor in this and Harry rolled to minimize the damage before blocking what it could have been a finishing blow to him by the brown-haired boy.
"Release!" Alice's pole split while the chain went after Harry. Harry backs off Richard and then deflected the upper half of the pole. Alice swung to the right so the chain could snare Harry but the black-haired boy went and dodge the chain before cutting it with an upper slash. Harry dodged the next incoming arrows before unleashing an X slash toward the one responsible who rolled out of harm's way.
"Whoa..." Frederick said amazed by the result of Harry's slash before starting to dodge the x lines that Harry was doing. He wasn't the only one who was dodging Alice having only her lower half of the pole had to dodge in order to retrieve the other half, the reason being that the chain would not regenerate until it is reattached to the lower half. Richard using his speed dodged them easily the difficult part was that Harry's experience in Omega bested his and one mistake may cost them the game.
("Come on there has to be a way to take him out.") As Richard thought of a way to defeat his rival a small headache started to bother him.
"...S...E...H...E...H...E..M....E...C....A...A...H...M...E..." Richard closes his eyes in pain as the whispers continue to invade his mind.
"What...? Who is this?" The brown-haired boy was confused. All he could hear was letters by the static but he could tell that the voice came from a female. That distraction allowed Harry the opportunity to try and finish the game once and for all.
"Goodbye loser! Master Slash!!" The X line became much larger than the ones Harry previously created and this one was colored red and going even faster. Richard had no time to react due to his slight headache but before the attack could land on the brown-haired scout...Frederick pushed him out of the way and took the blow.
"FREDERICK!!!" Alice screamed as the X kept going and the announcer's words followed after the explosion.
"Team Omega's Sniper has been defeated."
"Omega?" Harry said confused before realizing something and started to laugh. "Are you serious!! You losers chose to name your team that!! You three are no way near their level, you don't even have a supporter, to begin with!"
"S-So?! At least we have one more class than you!" Alice said to him. Although the black-haired boy had a point, there was no way that they are similar to the original Omega, after all, it was created by her grandmother, Richard's father, Frederick's father, and three more members. They had all the current classes with the exception of the new magical but with her grandmother's ability, they might as well had that class too!
"Humph, You really think that I wouldn't have more than two units ready to battle? No, I already have my complete set of units. In other words, I have a sniper, a scout, a powerhouse, a wall, a magical, and a supporter ready for any battle that I encounter. The only reason I didn't choose to have a scout in this battle because...it wasn't necessary to find you losers, knowing the idiot core that you guys have I would have found you anyway."
"Hey!!" Richard yelled. Although, Alice hates to admit it the spiked black-haired boy was correct. Their leader...has a tendency to fight against anyone he deemed a fun opponent...which meant everyone...Which means, they were easy targets for every single player.
("Come to think of it...I should've re-think putting Richard-kun as the core.") Alice thought before shaking her head. ("No! He is good...He wouldn't if he didn't win the tournament, right?") Even so...
"You're right. Maybe we are easy targets." Richard felt dejected when Alice said those words that he hung his head in defeat. "But..." Richard lifted his head to hear Alice. "I believe in our core...Just like we had believed in him for years! The difference between him and you is that he can win...And he can do it by having fun. He doesn't need the media to show why he is great and all! As long as he has his friends...Richard-kun can do anything. That's why I believe we can do everything. Sure we might still be short a wall, a supporter, and a magical but that doesn't matter because we will find a way to win and go to the Omega World Tournament!" Alice said determine.
"Alice," Richard whispered and then got just as determined as her. "She's right! We will find a way just like I did the last time we faced! Get ready Harry, because I will show you that what happen the last time wasn't a fluke as you said it will." Harry narrowed his eyes unimpressed by them.
"I can't wait to crush those illusions of you two...THEY ARE STARTING TO PISS ME OFF!!" Harry threw an X line and Richard and Alice separate themselves.
"Let's do this Alice!!"
"Right!!"
()
"They seem to have the same charisma as them," Inès spoke.
"Yes...they do." A grin started to appear on the owner of Omega's face. "It seems that this would be an interesting two and a half weeks don't you agreed my precious secretary." Inès rolled her eyes in annoyance but nevertheless nodded.
()
Alice and Richard decided to go separate ways in order to flank the Heavy sword user. Harry would have none of that deciding to separate them to take them down one on one he once again makes a crack on the ground that creates a tremor before said place split into pieces leaving a lot of water to roam around. He then leaps toward the one that had Alice and starts his assault on her only for it to be blocked by Alice's pole and backing him away before she spins her pole and trusted forward hitting him square in the lower abdomen reeling him backward. Alice then decided to try and snare him with her chain pole but Harry deflected and followed up with a mid kick to the left rib of the red-haired girl who had to take it resulting in her writhing in pain and landing on the icy slippery ground. As Harry was about to plunge the sword into the heart of the priestess Richard came to the rescue by using his speed to give him enough momentum and strength to not only parry the sword away resulting in it spiking itself a few inches from Alice's right ribs but he knees him in the chin reeling him back
"Are you alright, Alice?" Alice nodded before writing a bit because of the kick that she received from Harry.
"Maybe a little." Alice honestly said after Richard saw her writhe in pain.
"We need to stop him somehow," Richard said to her before someone whispered.
'use it.'
"Huh?" Richard said confused.
"What?" Alice looks at him with a bit of concern.
"Oh, nothing I thought you said something and..." This has been a weird day. First, they fight a mysterious woman, then said woman created a white pentagon that resulted in a ray of light appearing blinding them. Next thing they know she was gone, and now he is hearing voices inside his head? Either he's losing it or the adrenaline of the game is making him have theses weird illusions.
"Here he comes!!" Alice said before she reattached her pole and gets ready to fight Harry who is charging toward them. Both dodged the vertical slash that he tried to do before him blocking Richard's Kris dagger with his buster sword and surprisingly blocking Alice's pole with his free hand emitting a gasp from the red-haired girl. Harry backs Richard off a bit with his strength before with said strength he spins Alice who had a grip on the pole and throwing her toward the brown-haired boy who was going after Harry in order to take him out resulting in the boy crashing with her.
"Ow, Talk about a collision," Richard said as Alice groaned before the brown-haired boy takes her bridal style and uses his speed to dodge the incoming X line. Harry continues his assault unleashing Master Slash after Master Slash resulting in Richard going on the defense since he had Alice in his arms. The only sounds that could be heard were the sounds of ice getting crushed and disintegrated and the swooshing sound of the wind that Richard left from his movements of dodging the Xs.
"Richard launch me in the air!"
"What?! Are you crazy!?" Richard said in disbelief.
"Trust me!!"
"Okay, if you say so." Richard using his speed boosted himself in the air and then threw Alice in the air before he goes down and uses his speed to dodge Harry's, Master Slash. Harry was distracted by his rival speed that he forgot about the Red-Haired girl that was in the air before it dawned on him and at the last second blocked the pole that almost could've taken his head off resulting in the ice getting crushed and Harry barely standing on the icy floor. The black spiked haired boy was inches away from going to take another shower this time courtesy of the red-haired beauty but refused before using the last of his strength to backs her away in which Alice backs-flipped to a safety block of ice. With swooshing sounds, Richard went on and attack his opponent who dodged left, right, and even ducked the speedy scout attacks. Evade, Block, side-stepping, and ducking were how this fight went for several seconds before Richard got an opening and nicked Harry's cheek eliciting a bit of blood on the cut. Harry angry kicked Richard so hard that the brown-haired boy coughed saliva before being sent to the block that Alice was.
"Richard!" But before she could help him she used her pole to block an incoming Master Slash.
"Alice!!" Richard tried to move but the pain was unbearable.
"Just give it up already, she's as good as gone." Harry confidently said which earned a glare from Richard. Alice was struggling to keep the slash from overwhelming her but despite her being a powerhouse she didn't have enough strength to deflect Harry's all-powerful move...That is until her pearl glowed red. A red aura mysteriously surrounded Alice before said aura disappeared.
"What?! Impossible!" Harry said as he saw his signature move being deflected through the air by Alice. Afterward, Alice fell in fatigue unable to move from the amount of strength she had to put on the effort of deflecting the attack.
"Alice!" Richard quickly went to her aid. "Are you, alright?! Hey!!" Richard checked and saw that she was asleep. He sighed in relief knowing that she was alright...However, this meant that if she didn't get up on after ten seconds she would be...
"Due to the opponent being incapable of moving after 10 seconds...Team Omega's Powerhouse is removed from the game." With the official announcement from the bunny girl, Alice's body was transformed into blue fireflies meaning that Alice was sent back.
()
On Earth, Alice slowly was opening her eyes after hearing a whispering voice.
"Alice!" Alice groaned.
"W...What, Happened?" the red-haired asked confused as to why she was on earth.
"You were fighting along with Richard against Harry before you were caught by one of Harry slashes...The only difference was that I got disintegrated by, you...Well, you deflected it."
"Oh." That still didn't explain why she was here?
"After your deflection you kind of passes out and couldn't get up after 10 seconds, meaning that you were incapable of battling anymore," Frederick explained seeing Alice confused stare.
"Okay." They look at the monitor where Richard and Harry were the only ones left. Alice still had a question...Where did that extra strength come from? She knew that she wouldn't be able to deflect that attack, she was stalling the inevitable but then something inside her burst and she founded this new strength allowing her to overpower the attack and send it to the air. However, that effort alone drained all of her energy, and the next thing she knew she was right here. ("Then again there's still abilities for every class in Omega that we still don't know we have...maybe this is one of them.") Unknown to the red-haired that wouldn't be the case.
()
Back on the battlefield, It was only Richard and Harry. After a few seconds of silence, Harry scoffed.
"Good riddance, That annoying tomato was getting on my nerves. She is lucky that I didn't crush her like the putrid tomato that she was." That angers the brown-haired boy who gripped his dagger hard.
"You don't care, do you?" He said through his teeth.
"Hmm?"
"You don't care what happens to your teammates, you don't care what happens to your opponents. The only thing you care about is YOURSELF!!?" Harry scoffed at that.
"And why should I care about them? In this game, the last man standing is the one who takes all the fame and glory! Besides, I can always replace those scraps of metal with new and better ones!" That did it.
"YOU'RE WRONG!! YOUR TEAMMATES THEY GIVE IT THEIR ALL! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY WERE HUMANS OR NOT THEY STILL ARE YOUR STRENGTH! ONE PERSON ALONE CANNOT ACCOMPLISH EVERYTHING THEY NEED THEIR FRIENDS...THEIR COMPANIONS TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR MISSIONS!"
'Use It.'
"Heh, You still think about those things?! In this world, only the strong survive and the weak perish! This game is the same if you cannot defeat the strongest then you shouldn't even bother being here! That's why I will show the world that you're nothing but an insect. In fact; I'LL START RIGHT NOW!" Harry said as he unleashes another Master Slash.
'Use it. Show him...Show him the true way.' As the slash was almost there Richard position himself and then...Slashed the attack in half. Both halves passed him before leaving two big lines on the icy floor.
"What?!" Harry said in disbelief as his most powerful attack has been easily destroyed. Deflected he could understand a bit, even if that red-haired got lucky...But DESTROYED?
"I will show you...That your friends and teammates can make the difference in this game!!" Richard said as he looks at him. Richard's eyes changed to those of the Omega symbol which is an O broken p at the side with edges subsequently turned outward.
"This is new," Leos said now very amused.
"Are those?!" Inès said with surprised eyes.
"Yes...The Eyes that can copy the information of every ability in Omega by seeing the move once. The Eyes of Omega. It will explain why she uses the transfusion spell."
"Her?"
"Oh, yes I forgot to mention to you Inès. As I was watching this match I saw these kids fighting a mysterious woman. The woman easily fought them and could've defeated them but she didn't instead she created the Pentagon of transfusion allowing her to transfer one ability to a player." Leos explained to her.
"But sir...isn't that technique illegal to any player who uses it? If that's the case then we must..."
"No Inès. That would not be necessary."
"Why sir?! This person could be a hacker, if that happens she could be controlling this person right now!"
"No the anti-viruses would've been called if that was the case. This my dear Inès is the work of only one person...Besides." He smirked. "We wouldn't want our little wager to be disrupted now, do we?"
()
'Use it...Show him...Help her...Help everyone!' Richard heard this whispers over and over again. He was confused about what they meant but there was one thing he will do and that is kicking his rival to the next world.
"Here I come, Harry!" The brown-haired boy with now newfound determination charged toward him.
"Have you forgotten? Even with your speed you still...!!" Harry's words were silenced when Richard disappeared in a swooshing sound. "What?!" He looks around. "Where is he?!" Unlike the last time, he couldn't sense where the brown-haired scout would attack next. This allows Richard to be able to uppercut the black-haired in the chin, followed by a perfectly timed kick to the stomach and an upper slash across the face that elicited blood to splash on the icy snowy ground all of this in the pace of just 1.2 seconds.
"This is the power that I have received from my friends...and with it, I WILL DEFEAT YOU ONCE AGAIN!!" Richard disappeared again and this time kicked Harry in the back sending him rolling to the snowy floor before in swooshing sound appeared in front and knee him in the ribs making the black-haired boy spin and crash to the floor.
("This can't be happening?! He is weak!! These blows can only be dealt by a powerhouse!! How is he able to have the speed of the scout and the power of a powerhouse?!") He glares toward the boy who was approaching. "There's no way...THERE'S NO WAY THAT I WILL LOSE TO A LOSER LIKE YOU!!!" Harry said as his sword glows red. "I'M THE STRONGEST, I AM THE THREE-TIME OMEGA WORLD CHAMPION! THERE'S NO WAY THAT A WEAK, PATHETIC, USELESS SCOUT LOSER LIKE YOU CAN DEFEAT ME!!!" Harry said before he unleashes a gigantic Master Slash that was as twice as the original. Richard looks at the slash that is coming his way.
'Attack: Master Slash, Power level: average, How to perform: Charge your Capacity Energy inside of your weapon, recommended a sword, or a dagger and slash in a horizontal way. Modifications to this attack confirmed. Way to counter and shorten the performance but up the strength found.' This was all going on in Richard's mind. He had no idea who or what it was telling him this but he did as the thing told him and then got ready to counter-attack.
"SAY GOODBYE LOSER!!" Harry screamed before laughing. However, that laugh would be shut as he saw that his attack was stopped once again by the brown-haired boy but this time it was because Richard has unleashed diagonal white slash made of energy that not only cut the slash in half it was coming the black-haired boy's way at a speed that only a scout would unleash.
"THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!! AHHHHHHH!!!" Those were Harry's final words before he was engulfed in the line and then was sent miles away by the time the slash hit one of the mountains and exploded Harry was long gone.
"Team Master's Core has been defeated...Team Master has been eliminated...Game over. Results: Team Omega Wins!" Those were the words that were heard on earth.
"We...won," Frederick said before realizing what happened.
"WE WON!!!" Alice was in disbelief but then it was replaced with happiness.
"WE DID IT!!!" They both look at each other and then celebrated by holding hands while skipping.
"WE WON! WE WON! WE WON!!!" As they were celebrating the two remaining teleporters flashed and out of them came Harry and Richard.
"Hey, guys," Richard said and he was tackled by the red-haired girl who was very excited that they won. "HEY ALICE!"
"WE DID IT!!" She hugs Richard tightly before realizing what she was doing and backs away. "Er...I mean...Um..." Alice said while fidgeting with her fingers. Luckily for her, Frederick unintentionally came for the save.
"That was awesome Rick! I actually didn't know you could do that!"
"Er...Actually Frederick...I actually didn't know myself."
"Huh?" Both Alice and Frederick said confused.
"I just kind of listened to my mind...It felt strange it was as if I was studying Harry's attack and then devised a countermeasure in order to destroy it." Richard explained.
"Well...however you did it, it was wicked and it seems your scout class increased ranks I mean you were fast before but even Harry couldn't track you out and he has a lot of experience fighting your speed." Frederick pointed out.
"Well, in any case, this is our first win as Team Omega!" Alice said excitedly.
"That was your surprise to us right?"
"Yep." the red-haired smiled.
"Well if we're going to be as good as them then we better pick up the pace and start recruiting people we need at least three more classes: Wall, Supporter, and Magical," Frederick said to his companions who nodded in agreement. "Anyway, Rick do you know what you will call that last attack of yours?"
"Huh?"
"You know that white line that destroyed Harry's attack."
"Oh...Well...Hmm." Richard pondered. That white strike looked like the fangs of a dragon unstoppable and strong. Not to mention that the attack came from modifications of the slash that he saw so the best name for it will be. "I guess I should call it...White Dragon Strike Fang or WDSF for short." Richard concluded.
"White Dragon Strike Fang...I like it!!"
"I'm glad you do, now then..." He looks toward the one place that will satisfy his hunger once he finishes a great game in Omega. "LET'S GET SOMETHING TO EAT!!" Richard said with a big grin.
()
In the office, Leos was looking at the conclusion of the match and couldn't help to be very amused by it.
"Very impressive." he looks toward Inès. "I think this team would be interesting to see in the future won't you agreed, Inès?" Leos asked his secretary who adjusted her glasses.
"Indeed, but Sir if I may ask if they are really the children of the legend. Why wouldn't you tell them that they are?"
"If I did do you think they'll believe it?" Leos said making a good point. The book The Legendary Pieces was an old story that was told to the branch families the reason why she knows that is because her grandfather is part of one of the children branch families. Even she couldn't believe that the story was true but after witnessing this match and her boss' piece glowing it seems that the old legend...was 100% truth to the core. "But you're correct, I will tell them...but in due time, until then let's just observe and enjoy what this new Team Omega is capable of who knows...Maybe they will become as good as they were." Leos said with an amusing smile while looking at the monitors of Omega where Richard and the others were heading to the one place Richard loves...PIZZA PALACE.
