War for Freedom

(Chapter 46)/A Loyal Rival

Huntress's POV:
May 12th, 2093,00:00:
Judean Desert, Isreal:

Standing within the desert that the humans call the Judean Desert, I was right next to Zero as we both looked at the strange creature we were about to fight. It seemed and acted like a Reaper with its mist-like coat covering its body, but it covered it too well. Reapers normally have their bodies shown while having a little mist-like coat around them, to make them appear more ethereal.

This creature seemed like it was purposefully trying to hide it's body from us, to what end, I don't know. What I do know is that it's powerful enough to send me flying and cause mass internal bleeding from a blunt weapon. It also must be very fast too, if it could reach where I was in the desert after it struck me through the bunker and into this place. As I stared at one head of the creature with the second looking at Zero, said Zero asked me,

Zero: "So, who's your friend, they seem like fun?"

Huntress (growls): "I don't know, but it seems too strategic to be an average Reaper..."

Zero (curiously): "A Reaper Variant, maybe?"

Hm, that could be feasible, even though the only other Variant we know of right now for Reapers are the Spikers. I remember learning about them during my training when I had my time to learn about everything. It was only recent information, and because the Reapers managed to cross into Alaska and kill practically everyone there closest to the bridge formed between Russia and the USA. So this could very well be a new variant, and considering it can form weapons on itself, it has to be some kind of combat specialist.

Suddenly, I felt Zero wrap his arm around my waist before he pulled me towards him, making me fall back. Yet, just as I was about to fall, he caught me with his arms as a wave of air swished around us, causing us to turn and see the creature behind us with a blade formed, slashed downwards at where we were just standing.the creature then turned back at us before roaring with both of it's heads, the red eyes illuminated behind the fog intensified.

Then, as the creature formed different weapons on each arm, Zero ask me,

Zero: "So, you gotta plan? Or do I just beat the living shit out of it?"

Huntress (raises her Psion-Spear): "Let's attack simultaneously on each of it's sides, that way, we only have to deal with one head at a time."

Zero (nods): "Alright, you want the black one, or the white one?"

Before I could give him an answer, the creature suddenly ran forward, appearing in front of us within three seconds before Zero suddenly took my free hand and spun me out of the way. Afterwards, he embraced me in a weird way, holding my free hand while wrapping his other arm around my waist. Just as I'm about to ask him what he was doing, he said,

Zero: "Here, allow me to lead this dance of death."

After he said that, I felt him willingly open his mind for me to read. Huh, he wants us to fight as one...that's not a bad strategy, unlike the creature, we'll have two bodies hitting as one. Nodding I allowed my Psion-Spear to float and placed my right hand on his left shoulder, as was his instructions, before we started moving to a weird, high-speed rhythm. Was this music? After a moment, he mentally told me it was Cuban, Puerto Rico music, as was the origin of the dance we're doing.

As we approached the creature, it roared at us before it ran forward, jumping in the air. Suddenly, Zero spun me around while jumping in the air, kicking away the arms of the creature before landing on the ground and taking my hand again. Seeing the creature open, I threw my other arm out as he brought me around, causing my Psion-Spear to pierce through the creatures open guard. As it fell back to it's feet, it looked at it's wound before turning it's black head towards us, roaring afterwards.
