Highschool DxD: The Game (Early Work)

Part #40. Gear, Drive, and Mode. (Part #2)

The large cloud of steam dispersed because of a gust of wind from an unknown source. The members of the ORC shielded their eyes from the heat. Koneko lowered her arm and her eyes widened.

There, Kyu stood, or... bounced?

He had warped proportions. His torso was muscular, yet ball-like, his legs had retained their normal size, but they were black with a white shine, his shirt had been reduced to tatters because of his swelled torso and black markings that looked like spikes had formed below his shoulders, his shoulders and arms were black as well. He opened his eyes and focused on the monstrosity that was Freed. The areas around his eyes were black and slanted, giving him a very livid look. Kyu now stood at four meters tall, and he kept on bouncing off of the floor.

Kyu: "Gear Fourth: Boundman." He said. Every time he bounced off of his feet, an odd gong-like sound echoed through the room.

Gasper: "Did he really--?" He asked.

Rias: "Oh my gosh..." She said.

Xenovia: "Why does he look like a ball?" She asked.

Issei: "W-We should probably move back." He said nervously.

Freed: "Wow! It looks like I'm not the only one who got a makeover!" He yelled before he continued advancing towards the rubber-man.

Kyu stared at his hand and used his other hand to push against his fist, causing his wrist to sink slightly into his forearm.

Kyu: "Can't use that." He said. His voice was a little bit deeper.

Kyu brought his hands up. His left arm was outstretched with his hand sideways and his palm facing towards Freed, his right arm was bent and his fist was sideways, with his thumb facing away from him while the fist was held next to his head.

Freed charged forwards and swung his swelled fist at Kyu. The boy was sent flying back, but he had intended for this to happen. He bounced off of an archway and towards a pillar. He bounded off of the pillar and flew towards Freed at blinding speeds. He smashed his fist into Freed's skull and the entire floor shattered instantly. Freed's skull caved in and his brain activity stopped on the spot.

Kyu: "Akeno-senpai. Do you mind coming over here, please?" He asked her.

Akeno ran forwards and stopped infront of Kyu, she marvelled at how much the boy had changed.

Kyu: "Send a lightning bolt to his head please." He told her.

Akeno tilted her head in confusion but shot a quick blast of lightning that struck Freed's entire body. Kyu shot a green flame at his face while the lightning struck him.

Freed's brain managed to bring itself back to functioning order, but the psychopath was still unconscious.

Kyu sighed and he deflated, flying into a wall and breaking it in the process. He landed on his feet and breathed heavily.

Kyu: "Aw man, I didn't get the flame marks or the red shine... my Haki must not be a high enough level." He said, his voice had returned to normal.

Kyu: "Shame this isn't permanent." He sighed as he stretched his index finger.

Issei: "What the hell, man?!" He shouted.

Yuuto: "Impressive, but weird." He commented.

Xenovia: "Nice punch." She complimented him.

Gasper: "Did you actually turn into Luffy?" He asked.
