Ground Zero

A figure wrapped in a cloak, their face hidden approaches the city center. The city was in chaos, monstrous beasts taking form and people once human being transformed into the beasts.
A few turned their attention to the cloaked figure and rushed him. He hesitated but pulled a great sword off his back and held it in front of him two hands on the hilt as he prepared himself. One of the beasts screeched and lunged at the figure. The figure with a swift motion deflected the attack with his blade and used the moment to spin around and cut the beast in two, a mix of black ooze and blood coating the blade and ground where the beast landed. The other beast lunged forward only to be met with a similar fate.
"I gotta link up with the soldiers stationed here..." The figure thought to themself. He rested the blade on his shoulder and moved forward fighting through those who have turned. The horrific sights of the chaos burning into his mind, black ooze, blood, gore and even rape. It made the figure sick before their focus was on the large crowd running away from the direction they were headed. A creature the size elephant was chasing them before shifting its focus on the now lone figure who stood in its way. The creature was much like a dragon that hadn't fully matured with long talons, rows of sharp teeth and even spikes on its tail.
The creature took a swipe at the figure with its tail. The figure vaulted over the tail with its blade cutting the end off on his way over it. The creature screeched and swiped at them with its talons cutting their cheek and knocking them back. The figure skid to a stop and lifted up their blade. "Not bad..." They slammed the tip of their blade into the ground and used their now free hand to cast a spell. A bolt of lightning cast down from the heavens scorching the beast. As it wailed in pain the figure took the opportunity to pick their blade back up and finish the fight before moving on.

ELSEWHERE IN THE CITY

"Where the hell are you guys!?" Gutz shouted. "We are losing too much ground and too many lives!"
"Just hang on a bit longer, we are only a few miles out!" Storm was heard shout in return over and earpiece Gutz was wearing. Before Gutz could reply a humanoid creature led a charge that broke through the defense line causing panick. "Hold the line! Drive them back!" Gutz commanded. Before long, they were dwindled to just Gutz and the humanoid.
"Such resilience..." The humanoid spoke.
"Who the fuck are you!?" Gutz demanded.
"Now now, who gave you the right to be making demands? You're alone with nobody to help you and I" he chuckled "I have a whole army of those fit for the new world order!"
Gutz went to go rush them only to be met with a reversal and tossed to the ground blade to his neck.
"Being too hasty is such a terrible trait to have ya know. A great way to get killed." They chuckled as they began to cut slowly into their neck only to be met with a full Sparta kick sending them flying.
Gutz looked up to see a figure standing over them hand out stretched, he slowly took it as the figure pulled him to his feet.
"Looks like I was too late..." The figure sighed. "Tango... You really are pathetic."
Tango slowly rose to his feet spitting blood from his mouth. "You... It can't be..."
The figure ripped the cloak off, his pastel blue hair with white highlights as beautiful as the day time sky flowed in the wind. A soft pastel blue hoodie with jeans and military boots.
"Cloud! You're supposed to be dead!" Tango shouted angrily.
"Yet here I stand once again to stop you for a second time..." Cloud readied his sword. "And the last time. Come Gutz, we have a fight to finish!"
"R-right!" Gutz readied himself.
"Damnit damnit damnit! I'll kill both of you! You won't deny me my kingdom! Tango's form twisted as he lost his humanity becoming a monstrosity like anything ever seen before. He was now a cross between what he was and what he is not. One arm was longer than the other and the hand was replaced with a scythe while the other was shorter and summoned a magic staff, his teeth twisted and razor sharp. His eyes black like the void itself, what was once fur became a deformed mass of discolored sludge that was like staring into the void itself. All around him he absorbed the light like a black hole.
"No holding back Gutz!"
"Right!"
Tango roared and cast thundaga. Multiple powerful bolts of lightning rained from the heavens.
Cloud slammed the tip of his blade into the ground and cast Shell. A protective barrier formed around them, cracking as it absorbed the shocks before shattering
Gutz rushed Tango and buried both his daggers into Tango.
Tango laughed as the daggers were absorbed into him and swatted Gutz away like a fly.
"Gutz! Catch!" As Gutz regained his senses mid air Cloud tossed a new weapon, it was infused with magic and could be attached and detached. It was two swords that could he combined into one double ended pole arm like weapon unlocking a new class for him known as Cobra. Gutz landed on his feet near Cloud. Tango lunged slashing at Cloud. Cloud blocked the attack and Gutz detached the blades and cut off the scythe hand from Tango. Tango screeched in pain as Cloud began casting a spell.
"Cover me! This spell needs time to charge!"
"Right!"
Gutz aggroed Tango pulling his attention away from Cloud as he charged the spell and before pong Cloud unleashed the spell holy, a powerful spell that does critical damage to void entities. There was a screech and silence before the scythe cut through the smoke and dust. Gutz barely back flipped out of the way, the scythe grazing his back leaving a long gash. Gutz winced in pain as he stumbled on the landing.
"Damn it... There has to be something that can stop him..." Cloud blocked an attack and quickly countered it.
Gutz spoke between pained breaths as blood dripped down his back. "What're we going to do? If that flash display wasn't enouh?"
Cloud thought for a moment as he scanned Tango's deformed body for any weaknesses. "There... When he swings his scythe, there is an exposed area where the shoulder meets the torso, aim for it."
"If you think it will work." Gutz and Cloud swapped aggros and Gutz made his move. He combined the blades and used them to vault up and launch himself cutting straight through the army detaching it leaving an oozing hole.
"There! Nows our chance!" Cloud shouted.
Gutz landed near Cloud "Right!" Gutz detached the blades and ran forward.
"Aero!" Cloud shouted launching Gutz into the air. "Aeroga!" Gutz was sent flying at high speed towards tango. "Now!" Cloud raised his blade to the heavens itself and the blade shined with a beautiful glow. "Grant me strength at the cost of life force!" Cloud took a deep breath and shouted "Zettaholy!!!" A blinding light shot down from the heavens tearing through Tango at the same time Gutz tore through him with his blades. Tango exploding into mess of goop and blood.
Gutz skid across the ground and Cloud panted heavily and coughed before falling to a knee.
Gutz ran over, "Are you ok!?" He shouted.
"Yes, just need a sec..." Cloud picked himself up off the ground.
"Holy shit... Where did you learn to use magic, Hell magic that powerful?"
"It's a long story but right now, we need to plan a counter attack... Multiple cities have been hit with gas attacks... This is only one of the many outbreaks."
