Thread: Bounty Hunters Part II: The New Era

Cassim looked at Jakku and nodded his head. "I'll let you leave, but I'm going with you..." he then turned to the direction in which Kaiser and Klay had fallen. "The man I serve is also there." he nodded his head before he jumped down, noticing that the soldiers and some of the other skill users had gathered around the crash sight.

The monster roared once more and threw its fist down at Shimon once more after being regenerated by Clay. "Just die!"

***

Boris didn't say anything, instead stopping on his tracks before he fell to the ground with a loud thud.

***

Klay panted, his head feeling numb as he stood up. Blood was running down his face, his nose and mouth and his wounds had also reopened once more, causing his bandaged chest to be covered in blood. He turned to the other side and saw Kaiser stand up as well, the man being in similar shape.

Klay didn't say nothing; instead he summoned his swords and screamed as he charged at the man. Kaiser stood up and began running towards Klay as well a pair of light swords appearing on his hand as he and Klay began to clash swords with each other, the blades slashing and bruising making blood fall around the two. "Stop trying so hard kid, you shouldn't shoot so high!"

"I'm not doing this for my own needs." Klay gritted his teeth and slashed at Kaiser's chest with a quick thrust. "For my friends, for my guilds I would gladly give my very soul if I had to." the four swords collided with each other once more, causing the two of them to let them slip and fall to the floor. "So I'll shoot as high as I fucking need to!" He screamed at the top of his lungs before throwing a punch straight at the man's face.

The two punches hit their respective mark, causing there to be a loud crashing noise as Klay and Kaiser just stared at each other, both of them waiting for the other to fall. "Good game..." Kaiser muttered softly.

Klay grinned before letting himself go and starting to fall on his back. "I think I'm gonna lay down for a while." he chuckled as he hit the floor.

With a snap of his fingers, Jack sent Boris' body to the scene of the battle between Kaiser and Klay

"You really did a number on him didn't you." Abyss shuckled as she appeared from behind Jack. "I heard the sound of a feeble mind breaking and I just had to see what was going on." Sakura's second personality snickered as she looked at Jack.

"So what happened here?" Saotzu wondered as he and the rest of Indigo wandered to the battle sight. Cassim was able to catch up and hurried over to Kaiswer who was now panting heavily.

"Sir, you're wounded." Cassim frowned as he walked over to his leader.

"It's okay." Kaiser reassured while holding his hand up and looking down at Klay's unconscious body. "These kid really is a monster though...taking all those wounds and still surviving." he panted before falling to his knees.

"Well they say youth has something to it." Kaiser and Cassim looked up to see Minerva floating down to the floor. "You failed miserably." she snickered before holding her hand up and pushing both Kaiser and Cassim aside. "Red Spiders, what a stupid name." she said and looked down at Klay's body. "So this is the Demon boy, I think I'll take my spoils of war now unless someone's stupid enough to stop me." she grinned and looked around the crowd.

Boris, or what once been Boris, rose up and began talking in Jack's voice. "If I were you I wouldn't touch him." Jacks psychotic smile could be seen on Boris' face. "I have taken his mind, his memories, his very being... And I will do the same to you." Jack told the leader before activating the third charge. Boris' head exploded into a fine mist, showering everyone present with blood, brain matter and bone chips.

They stood there as Boris's body suddenly appeared in front of them and proceeded to blow up. Minerva simply raised her hand, creating a purple colored barrier in front of her and Klay as the blood stained it. Cassim on the other hand had stepped in front of Kaiser to receive the full brunt.

"Okay what was that?" Slit asked.

"Jack." Saotzu frowned. 'Who does that guy think he is acting like he's mightier than me I'll kill him." he pointed out in annoyance.

"Your subordinate wasn't even able to hold out I see." Minerva teased Kaiser, who was now staring at the remains of Boris. 'Not like it matters, the Red Spiders have lost today anyways and you can forget about our deal too." she shrugged. "Black Shadow doesn't need weaklings like you...he however..." the last part she muttered silently before scoffing. "Now I believe I should take my leave."

"Please don't." Minerva turned to look at the crowd. A man wearing a long white colored robe with red colored armor attached to his shoulder and chest walked through the crowd. He had long blond colored hair and green eyes. "It's not good for someone to walk away while class is in session." he nodded his head sagely before looking into his pockets and pulling out a silver colored wand. "I'm Raven Teach a member of the 5 Saints"

***

"Oh." Abyss pointed out curiously as she heard Jack speak before grinning. "Well aren't you blunt." she pointed out before putting her hands on her hips. "I thought everyone in the Slayers was cleaner than that."

Jakku leapt down off a nearby rooftop.
He glared at Minerva, and unsheathed his sword.
One.

Future!+10!Shimo arched the seal in front of her.
It sank into the ground.
She began to walk away as the golem crumbled.
Your powers are now sealed.
She began softly.
I wouldn't recommend trying them.

Clay didn't say anything, his face instead grimacing as he saw what Shimo had done. "Just like that." he frowned.

***

"He'll be okay Slayer." Raven said while holding his arm in front of Jakku. "You're tired and you wouldn't be able to take a Master of Black Shadow anyway." he explained before turning to Minerva and holding the wand forward. "Let' go of that boy right this instant."

"Sorry...but now." Minerva smirked before stepping on the ground. With that she summoned a large violet colored monsters that towered over the crowd, the creature roaring and clenching its fists.

"You're understimating me aren't you." Raven grinned before his body glowed and became clad in red colored bandage along with black armor on his arms, shoulders, chest and legs. He looked at Minerva and smiled. "Class is in session and we now move on to Math." he raised his wand slowly into the air.

"Who's that?" Layla asked from afar.

"Raven Teach, one of the 5 Saints." Slit interrupted her. "Also known for his magic ritual skill Hell Lesson."

Raven pointed at the monster with the wand. "Knee+leg." when he said this the monster's knee fell and collided with the ground, causing the monster to groan. "Monster-leg." he waved the wand around once more this time causing the monster's leg to be cut off and for it to start falling on the crowd. Raven raised his left fist slowly and calmly without staring at the creature. "Fistx200." when he did this he began to throw a barrage of 200 punches, the punches keeping the monster elevated before sending it falling to the other side.

Finally the wand became surrounded by energy and turned into a long energy blade as Raven raised it once more. "Time for the final equation Monster/1000." he thrusted the wand downwards and in turn proceeded to slash and cut the monster into one thausand exact squares before having the squares rain down on the floor.

"Okay, maybe I am a little impressed. But it's nothing big." Minerva shook her head.

"I wasn't doing it to impress." Raven shook his head before pointing at the space behind Minerva, only for her to realize that Saotzu had grabbed Klay and had taken him to Jakku.

"Here, you can have him." He said before handing the guildmaster to Jakku.

"It was fairly clean." Jack said with a grin. "It's not like I blew up anything else."

"I don't know a splattering corpse doesn't seem clean enough." Abyss nodded her head. "So then what are you do if one of the Slayers finds out about this, no one else knows what you did but me as I assumed you even shut the earpiece off."

"Of course I turned off the earpiece." Jack chuckled, making sure it was still off before making this comment. "And really, I don't think you can talk." He pointed out dryly.

"Don't worry, I've got no reason too." Abyss said before grinnins mischivieously. "I don't care what you do as long as it doesn't stop me from obtaining this body at some point, you can just do what you want." she shrugged. "Though you should turn it back on otherwise they might get suspicious."

***

Minerva stared at the crowd attentively, waiting for something else to happen before she shrugged and sighed. "It's sad that I couldn't get anything." she shrugged before smirking. "But I'm sure this will be forgiven." with that her body slowly dematerialized from sight.

Kaiser didn't say anything, instead letting the BHA members surround him. "Cassim, call all forces, the Red Spiders have fallen." he sighed before getting on his knees and raising his hands.

Cassim just nodded his head before relaying the message to the other members.

Jack shrugged. The 'obtain this body' part bugged him but he didn't comment, simply nodding and turning back his own earpiece. "You should as well." He murmured.

"Hey Jack what happened?" Tink asked as soon as he noticed the earpiece go back on. "You turned it off."

Shimo appeared in a bloom of smoke.
She looked around.
...I have no idea how I got here...
She murmured, looking at the katana in her hand.

Jakku grabbed Klay, slinging him over his shoulder.
"Tink. Get the ship here."
His armour slipped away as he spoke.

Klay groaned slightly before looking around. "What happened?" he asked before looking at Shimo and gasping. "Shi..." he said before fainting once more.

"Is she gone?" Raven asked, he still looking away from the spot Raven was in. He sighed and lifted his head. "Thank god, I get nervous women." he said before lowering his head when he saw Shimo. "I'll just keep it lowered." He turned to Jakku. "My name's Raven, I was sent here by the Elders to help, though I don't think there's much I can help with anymore."

Klay groaned once more, this time managing to not faint. "Shimo....what the hell?" he said.

"I'm on it." Tink nodded his head and began to move the ship over.
