Mum? Mei Hatsume just appeared in the bathroom

Pt. 18 Madness to Infinity

A truly titanic being stood before you all, serpentine in shape with no eyes, and a bulbous club shaped head, just as pink as many creatures in this forsaken coven.

Kendo: Huh.. I think I can handle this.

Y/N: That thing is massive..

Kendo already leapt at it and hit its gut, you could see a jagged, toothless mouth open as she landed multiple hits, the head lowered and she jumped onto it, beating it down to the ground.

It writhed under the concussive blows she caused, the ground shook even with its head dampening the blows.

The creature swiftly swung its head sideways and downward, missing Kendo by a hair, where she continued the beat down.

Eventually it lay defeated, with craters in its head.

Ponama: Shit... that was...

Y/N: I thought it would put up more fight..

Mei: Look alive, those air horn wack asses..

About seven showed, at this point they were not even a threat. Kendo tossed them aside even as everyone could do the same.

Another chest, this one required Mei to shoot the lock to get access.

A double edged short sword was revealed. The guard of iron with copper inlays and a sapphire gem in the center.

Y/N: Oof-

Mei: Wrong-o, but hey, you get to keep that.

You pick up the blade, a bit more top-heavy than you might like, clearly a custom blade.

You inspect the blade and guard closely, seeing the name 'Arma' engraved on it.

Y/N: What kinda name is Arma? An armadillo?

Mei: The fact that got you thinking about an anthro armadillo using a sword is all on you, bud.

Y/N: You got me..

Another portal opened and brought you to a clean, white lab facility.

Y/N: Oh this is going to be a nightmare. Who's ready for man made horrors beyond our comprehension?

Ponama: Jesus dude.. being sarcastic really does not help the morale.

Y/N: Fair.

You all pressed forward, you took point, eager to use the sword.

Immediately as you vaulted a trivial obstacle, a small, blue slime entered view.

Y/N: Aren't these things invincible?

Mei: Let's find out.

She said before putting a .45 round in it, the impact didn't shred it completely like you thought, it simply haphazardly tore up about a half of it. However it left enough separated or shredded to stop it making a move.

Y/N: Huh.. alright..

The rest of you pushed forth to engage the rest,

Three others sluggishly approached, they reformed so they could hit your head by swinging their top half. You met that half with a clean cut consistently.

Y/N: That's predictable.

From behind you heard a mechanical clamp, Kendo's scream and Mei's gunshot into a machine.

Y/N: Huh... good work darling.

Mei: Thank you..

You all moved forward seeing more predictable slimes and traps and bigger versions of the Air Horn Wack Ass as you'd all begun to call them.

You'd all crossed another menial obstacle when you saw a group of women, genetic clones that definitely looked unfriendly, or too friendly depending.

Kendo pushed to the front as the group ran at you. She enlarged her hand enough to hit them all in one strike.

Ponama: Maybe we just got gud.

You sighed, maybe he was right.

Kendo then broke down a locked door.

A lone man, a scientist with a bit of a receding hairline and a compulsive habit to push up his glasses.

Scientist: Ah. So you are the four issues.. I'll not let you impede me. Kill the young men. I have no use for them.

At that, a trapdoor opened and a giant skeleton creature emerged, definitely lizard shaped by the look of the skull.

It somehow hissed and made sound at all without lungs.

Kendo: Alright!

She leapt forward, enlarging her fist, only to be met with a strike to her face with the razor talons it had.

Ponama: Fuck! Itsuka!

He ran straight for her, heedless of the danger.

You charged straight for it, ducking under a sweeping strike and wedging the sword into its ankle only barely chipping the cartilage.

It barely missed another swipe as you chipped at the bone of its foot, the next strike was a kick that trapped you under its foot and immense strength.

It pressed on your whole body you felt your ribs about to give even as four shots from Mei's pistol put holes in the creature's ribs.

Y/N: Fuck!

You shouted in pain, knowing anything more would kill you instantly.

You couldn't see what did it, but something had shattered the creature's leg at the shin, until you saw Ponama's gauntlet above you.

You took his hand and he pulled you up.

You immediately fell halfway down and had only a second's strength to look up.

Kendo had three mild looking scars although you could tell that Ponama had healed her.

Ponama had reached melee range of the creature and took out its other leg.

He pushed his foot against its neck and pulled off its head with the gauntlets clearly augmenting him with more than the faint blue glow you saw.

Ponama: Is everyone alright?

Kendo: Not yet. Y/N looks done for..

He returned to you all and put the gauntlets on you so you could regenerate what was broken.

Y/N: None of us are gonna come out unscathed..

Ponama: Yeah..

He sighed.

Y/N: Hey. Not like this is your fault.

Ponama: Dude- it is. I dropped the fuckin thing.

Y/N: Doesn't matter..

A set of automatic doors opened and the scientist came through in a rage, drawing a pistol. Outdrawn by Mei.

He slumped to the floor in a bloody heap

Y/N: It is scary how accurate you are with that...

Mei: Yeah that is freaky..

Y/N: Anyway... we should move on.

You pressed on, a portal with, much to your dismay, no chest.

You sigh as you walk through.

Ponama: Ayo who talked about fight club...?

He said as you looked around a warehouse filled with crates, with a wooden aesthetic and sounds of combat and crowd in the distance.
