Everything Stays: In the Future

Hideout Raid Part 4

Neptune stood between his enemies, his son and his honorary nieces and nephews. He glanced back at his son and then returned his gaze to the enemies. Damson snarled and dashed fast enough to appear behind Neptune. Neptune spun his trident around and blocked the attack. Cinder lit her hand on fire and ran to chop at Neptune's back. Neptune kicked back and blocked the chop, spun in the air and stabbed his trident at Cinder. He landed, rolled and fired his rifle at Damson's head. He grabbed Damson's tail and attempted to pull it off.

Damson hissed and let his metallic tail spin, causing Neptune to let go. Cinder launched a beam of fire to attack him but Neptune ducked and extended his trident to hit her in the head. He quickly spun around and fired three rounds at Damson's tail, destroying it. He converted his rifle back to his trident and blocked Cinder trying to attack.

Neptune: (To Sterling) Get outta here! NOW!!!

Sterling: Father! We know what we're-

Stark ran forward and fired off some rounds to propel his arm forward and punched Hazel's fist. Stark looks back up at Hazel and gives him an awkward chuckle. Before Hazel could go in for another strike, Neptune wrapped his arms around Hazel and threw him back into Cinder.

Neptune: He can't feel pain. That's his semblance! Use it!

Neptune flipped forward and continued to attack the four. Sterling, waisting no time, charged forward and was able to block and counter some attacks from Damson. Damson is sent flying across the floor into another glyph summoned by Sterling and bounced back. Night ran up and kicked Damson again. However, Cinder grabbed her and burned some of Night's arm. Sterling went in for a roundhouse kick but Cinder ducked and blast him with a wave of fire.

Pyrrha and Neptune aimed their rifles at Cinder and blasted her in the back of the head, getting her off of Night. Damson snarls and lunges forward to attack Mars. Mars fires off a few rounds but Damson evades, lands and spins around, kicking him in the face. Damson pounced back at Mars and attempted to bite down on his face. Mars winced back but Neptune grabbed Damson's head and threw him back to the ground.

Neptune fired at Damson, but he rolled out of the way and leapt forward for another kick. Neptune leapt back and fired again. Cinder burned the bullet and launched a beam of fire around herself and towards her opponents. Damson leapt back to stand next to Lavenza.

Damson: Can we stop holding back yet?!

Lavenza: I believe it is indeed time to be...less formal.

Lavenza leapt back and his chair descended into the ground and a giant mech emerged. The mech stood and entered a combat stance. Damson watched as Night lunged towards him. In less than a second, Damson appeared behind her and kicked her into the wall. Damson landed and dashed over and punched Sterling so hard, Sterling coughed up blood, his aura shattered and he was launched up to the rafters.

Neptune: SON!

Neptune jumped to catch Sterling but Cinder easily blast him with her fire as she began to fly upward. Cinder's eye widen as fire emerged from it. Wind began to catch up inside the warehouse as Cinder summoned lighting from her finger tips towards the teens. Pyrrha raised her arms to block the attack but boulders emerged from the ground and slammed into her. Mars then attempted to shoot Cinder but a bolt of lighting hit him instead.

Hazel is seen being larger now, dust crystals along his arms. He yells and charges forward to attack. Hazel slams his shoulder into Neptune, grabs the huntsman face and slams Neptune into the ground. Hazel punched Neptune's head into the ground a few more times. Stark fired a few rounds at Hazel but they have no effect on the man. A barrage of missiles is fired by Lavenza which blast Stark up into the air.
