Chapter 35: Cry vs. Slenderman

Slash!

Cry's eyes were glowing as he blocked Slenderman's tentacles in a blur of red, orange and blue; his Okami sword met with the black limbs with a 'clang'.

The brunet did a backflip as he charged lightning up into his left hand.

Cry swung his sword and let go, sending the sharp blade towards Slenderman.

Slenderman, who was still grinning, grabbed the sword by the hilt before it could pierce its midsection.

Cry was already over there in an instant, using the Okami sword as a footstep as he launched his left fist at Slenderman's face.

Slenderman opened his mouth wide, and Cry's fist went into the gaping hole.

Crunch!

Cry didn't even flinch as he felt a bone in his arm snap as Slenderman clamped his teeth down, crushing his limb.

The brunet growled lowly as lightning sparked to life on his left hand once more while it was still in Slenderman's mouth.

Bang!

Slenderman's head blew up, releasing Cry's arm in the process.

The brunet jumped away and touched his arm, hissing slightly in pain when he felt the blood trickle out of the punctures Slenderman's teeth left behind.

Cry turned a glare to Slenderman's unmoving body.

'....That was too easy...'

His thoughts flashed back to Russ and Pewds.

'Russ and Pewds can't lose that easily to something like thi--'

Slash!

Cry widened his eyes as he jumped back.

He received a cut to the chest, but it wasn't as deep as Russ's.

The brunet glowered as Slenderman's body started to move.

Its legs moved first and stood as the rest of its body stood up straight.

Cry narrowed his gaze beneath his mask as Slenderman staggered--still headless.

'The he**!?'

<<(With the Others)>>

"We need to go after Cry! He can't face that f****** monster alone!"

Scott was about to dash off, but a hand grabbed his ankle.

"Don't...hack...do that...."

Everyone's eyes widened.

They followed the hand to an arm, then a shoulder--a bloody one--and then to a face.

Slowly...chestnut-brown eyes opened.

They blinked blearily.

A weak smile formed on bleeding lips.

"Yo....miss...ed...me?"

Red's green eyes widened further.

"R..u...ss?"

The said brunet managed to widen his smile slightly.

"The...one...an...d....only."

Red broke out into more tears and quickly kissed the other on the lips, not minding the blood as she gently ran a hand through his hair.

"D*** it, Russ. You f****** son of a b****. D*** you."

Russ chuckled weakly.

There was another groan, and everyone turned their heads to see a certain blonde waking up in Raven's arms.
