The Five Kings: First Step

Hopian 118 - I'm Sorry

Last chapter, Restroid failed to keep King Metallica locked in a bunker during Ontarus' flooding, which led to both Restroid and King Metallica running off to help save the base. Kodan on the otherhand waited to get attachments installed to his armor, then went off to try to stop Ontarus as well.

Now, Kodan seems to have found an opening, as Ontarus is using his blade, Bahari, to control a tunnel of water that's carrying him through the air...

Commander Ontarus' P.O.V.

"Come on you fucking clown pick up the damn phone!" I think to myself while taking shallow ass breaths, in the small pocket of air I have in the tunnel of water I'm "flying" in. 'Called Prósopsi TWICE now and he hasn't answered me once, now I'm on the third call as I'm holding the soaked phone up to my ear with one hand.

I glance around to make sure no surprises are coming my way since my defenses are a little low here, and I gasp as I can see Kodan in the air above me- no, the damn guy's flying down towards me feet first!

I flick my sword to the right which makes the water I'm in spit me out in that same direction, which lets me dodge him for the most part. I hold back a scream though as he still just barely manages to smash his armored foot down into my own foot, which crushes it- while the cocky bastard himself lands on the flooded ground like it's nothing.

As I fall, through my tear- no water filled eyes I swing my sword up into the air, which makes a big blob o' water form beneath me to catch my own fall. Still hurts like a bitch having the salt water slip into my foot though, either way I make sure to shove my phone into my pocket to protect it.

"This guy can FLY? Fuck-" I think to myself as Kodan launches himself at me with one of his armored hands covering his mouth, he's WAY too fast. On instinct I flick my sword to the left real quick, which causes a torrent of water to suck me up and drag me to the left to dodge him. Bullets fire off around me, but my sword summons a bunch of blades of water to slice em' for me- as expected due to my whole foot situation.

"Gotta be careful, Bahari's getting pissed again." I think to myself as the water that pushed me suddenly spits me out backwards, but right before my feet hit the ground I flick my sword down and to the right, causin' a current to form around my feet- or foot, to help me stand and stay balanced. Looks like Bahari filled in the blanks for what I need again, 'why I love the damn thing.

Shots continue to fire at me, not a problem. Kodan on the other hand is flying towards me again- nah actually, not flying. It's like he's sliding along the ground or some shit. Either way I fling my sword forward to hopefully get some water splashing through the Hesalo he's wearing- no luck, so I swing my sword up to cause a geyser of water to send me way up high into the air.

"Damn, so the only way I'm getting through to his real body is if I get water through his mouth holes. ...Quit looking at me." I think to myself with a tiny gulp as I look down to see Kodan just staring up at me from way down below. Doesn't even look human in that armor, more like a killer robot. He looks away a second later, and talks to some other guy who's next to him.

I frown as I look away from him for one second, to see the entire massive flooded city beneath me. With my enhanced eyes, I'm pretty sure I can see those kids I talked to earlier floating in the water face down.

"Right." I think to myself as I whip out my phone from my pocket, and hold it up to my ear-

"HELLO- ONTARUS? Damn, well if you can hear me we're tracking your location right now." I hear Prósopsi say, thank God-

"I'm here! Took you long enough fucke- ahem. I'll make it short- found out the Red Fists were planning to start their revolution in less than a few minutes, we found some documents about the group- all of em' look true. They've apparently got a weapon that can kill you, so I snuck inside the base- they've got a LOT of firepower, it's like an entire city. I got found out though, and I'm trying to survive against the entire base fighting my ass right now."
