Deepwoken: Divers

Rumbling: Humanity's Rage

As Kevin looked around the battlefield, he could see hundreds of dead soldiers. Soldiers that were fighting because of his encouragement. Just as he began to ponder if it was worth it.
As quick as he went into deep thoughts, he was taken out by the scream of an obviously living creature, yet not human. As he looked at the Hive Construct, he saw a dark greatsword impale it before it fell into pieces.
Kevin glared at where the Construct stood. "You... ...Falco!!"

Just as Kevin stood up hunched, trying to rift his Railblade, he saw a young, blonde Etrean wearing a blindfold step in front of him. "Dunno if you remember me... We didn't talk much..." He said, picking up the spear Matthew dropped. "...My name's Pat. I heard Pakki and I thought I'd come help. Looks like you kinda need it... No offense."
Kevin leaned back onto his Railblade. "The Rumbling's gonna get here soon... It's got to..."
Pat shot at Falco. "Just leave this guy to me. He won't even know what hit him."
Falco blocked the shot with his Crypt Blade.

Meanwhile, Melodias drew his two curved blades of wind, approaching Kenny. "I won't fail this time..."
Kenny stood up, shooting with both his guns at Melodias. "We'll see about that!"
Melodias slashed a line across the ground, creating an upwards draft of wind that deflected the bullets. "Don't underestimate me." He said, sending a strong slicing wind towards his opponent.
Kenny tried to stand still, being pushed back and slashed by the wind. "Same goes for you...!" He held his hand to the side, creating a javelin out of lightning before throwing it at Melodias, letting it cut through the wind.
Melodias stopped the attack, dodging to the side. "Thundercall, too?... Guns, Galebreathe, Thundercall... I won't beat you at a range."
Kenny flew up into the air with a gust of wind. "You're damn right." He shot several bullets at Melodias.
Melodias jumped to the side, being grazed by a few before sending wind slashes back at Kenny, who moved back in the air using a gust of wind he was standing on.

Meanwhile, Duke Erisia and Faust were bombarding Zi'eer from two sides using the same technique Melodias used. Pakki glared at Zi'eer, desummoning his Yun'Shul blade. "He's pinned down..." He sent a singularity orb towards the Ministry Prophet.
As the orb reached it's destination, it ripped off pieces of the ground, absorbing everything in it's path, including pieces of Lord Regent - until he bursted out into a monstrous roar, his human body ripping apart.
Out of the destroyed human body came a black vaguely humanoid figure. It had green eyes, a black body with several tentacles hanging from it and a bony ribcage over it's chest, acting almost like armour. Atop it's head were three bone horns, almost as if it was a crown.
The Duke narrowed his eyes. "It's been a while since I've seen you like this, Zi'eer."
"So that's your true form..." Pakki said, glaring at the prophet.
"Pretty ugly if you ask me." Faust replied.

Falco slammed his Crypt Blade into the ground, chaining Pat to it. "No environmental distractions this time..."
Pat spun Matthew's spear around, creating a field of ice around the chained area. "You want me to stay here? Fine by me..."
Falco engulfed his leg in shadows, preparing for a kick.
Pat quickly froze himself up in ice, letting him kick it.
The ice cracked up on impact.
Falco pulled his leg back, picking up his greatsword. "Almost broke through... But--"
He said, but out of the corner of his eye, saw an icy spot. He jumped back, just barely being missing being impaled by a giant ice spike.
Pat came out of the ice, shooting a magical shot at Falco using Matthew's spear.
Falco blocked the shot with his greatsword, lowering it to look at Pat, who then immediately did a swipe with the spear, knocking Falco back and severing the chain.

Meanwhile, Melodias created a wind shield that deflected Kenny's bullets upward.
Kenny tried to skirt around it, but Melodias always moved behind it.
Kenny summoned lightning onto Melodias, who got hit by it, temporarily being pushed out from behind the wind shield.
Kenny aimed one of his pistols at Melodias. "You're wide open!" Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a bullet he shot earlier fell back onto his arm, disrupting his aim so Melodias was only shot in the shoulder.
"Hhng... Damn it..." Kenny said, trying to reload.
Melodias copied his technique, trying to fly up towards him.
Kenny kicked the gust of wind he was standing on towards Melodias, landing on the ground with a backflip.
Melodias ducked down, barely dodging. "I just need one opportunity..." He dived down towards Kenny.
Kenny suddenly pointed both his guns at Melodias, shooting him in the stomach and chest.
Melodias fell back, Kenny standing over him with a pistol pointed at his face. "That opportunity--"
The sound of wind could be still heard as a bullet was heading straight for Kenny from above, one of his own bullets being carried by Melodias' wind.
Melodias jumped up, stabbing Kenny in the stomach. "Is now!"
Kenny tried to shoot, but missed due to the sudden motion. "...mother--"
The bullet fell straight through his head, killing him almost instantly.
Melodias fell back to the ground, looking at Duke, Faust and Pakki fight Regent. "Duke... Faust... Sorry... That's all I have..."

Falco stumbled up, glaring at Pat. "This damn kid... Get out of my way already!"
Pat spun the spear around. "Not gonna happen."
Falco suddenly pulled out a shadow gun from behind his back, shooting Pat in the side.
Pat stumbled back as Falco feinted an attack to bait him into a position where he can't defend himself as Falco engulfed his blade in shadows.
Just as Falco was about to slash at Pat, another magical shot hit him in the shoulder, knocking him back. "Hnng--?! What the..."
Matthew stood there, having conjured another spear. "I've had enough of void touched assassins like you..."
Falco clenched his teeth as Pat recovered, forming an ice mace and slamming it down on the ground.
Falco jumped back, shielding himself with his greatsword. He turned around, running towards Pakki, dragging his greatsword behind himself. "None of you are my target...!"

Kevin stumbled towards the remainder of Humanity's Soldiers. "Go! I'll catch up with you later..."
With that, Matthew and Pat ran after Falco.
Matthew suddenly stopped himself with his wings, putting an arm in front of Pat to stop him. In a line where Falco dragged his greatsword, shadows erupted, almost completely destroying their spears which were caught in them.
Pat looked on towards Pakki. "Shit... He's gonna get to them!"
Pakki noticed Falco coming towards them. "Stay out of this!" He said, sending several tendrils which came out of the ground after him, in a manner similar to Regent's technique.
Falco dodged by rolling forward, grabbing one of Kenny's guns in the process, the tendrils slamming together behind him in their attempt to stab him.
Falco aimed down the barrel. "You're done for, Songspeaker!"
As his finger moved to pull the trigger back, he was hit by a bullet coming from the side. He missed, the bullet only grazing Pakki's head.
Falco held his side, looking around. "W-What?!... From where..?!"

There stood Colt, pointing his rifle spear at Falco. "I won't let it end like this."
Falco turned towards Colt, trying to run at him. "You damn bastard!!-"
Colt fired several other shots into his chest before firing a lightning infused bullet straight into his forehead.
Right as Falco's body hit the ground, everything became quiet. Humanity's Soldiers were nearly wiped out, but so were Etrea's forces. Through the silence, quiet, but repeating sounds could be heard. They slowly turned into splashes of water as Pakki's right eye looked as though it was glowing red. This is what he was waiting for.
"FIIIIGHT!" He screamed out, his voice echoing through the entire Luminant.
"What... Was that?" Pat asked.
Colt looked at Pakki, the pure energy of the song coming off his body alongside the red sparks. "...That scream... It's Humanity's Rage."
Moments after his scream, everything on the island started to shake, as thousands of Megalodaunts entered the island - The Rumbling arrived.
