[B]Post-Slam 17 months later Sicily, Etna National Park Former Castello Cartel Hideout 05.03. 10:10PM[/B] "[I]Calculations? Logic? Stop kidding yourself! It's about time for me to show you that Nox is above all these![/I]" Kainé declared as Nox immediately lunged into action. He was surrounded b Hellbots from every direction but it didn't matter. Nox was more than twice as fast! By the time any of he Hellbots raised their guns Nox had already leaped into the skies. Holding both Magnums, Nox pointed down with the pistols while its arms spread in an upside down V position. [B]"YOU KNOW WHAT'S NEXT!!!"[/B] Kainé shouted and Ignis immediately complied. "[I]Internal inertia cancelers at maximum. Torrential dive ready. Magnum power set to 10, uninhibited. Targets locked on. Initializing...[/I]" "[I]NEIN! NEIN! NEIN! YOU CAN'T![/I]" Zombio panicked, recognizing the technique too late. [B]"RAINING PLASMA TORRENT OF DEATH!!!"[/B] Nox's body became a blur as it spun at blinding speeds. And then... I happened. Countless balls of magically charged plasma descended at high speed. Neither hundreds nor a few thousands. Countless tiny fireballs spiraled down in their crazed dance; seeking blood, circuits and motor oil. That's right. The chaotic flame twister of death only had one order. That was none other than the order of death. Every shot flew in erratic directions yet in a direction leading towards the enemy. There was no escape as all 52 Hellbots were buried under the sheer volume of projectiles. Meanwhile Nox rapidly descended in a corkscrew, kicking its way through several Hellbots before finally getting to stop. In any other situation that'd have been the end of it. [B]Raining Plasma Torrent of Death[/B] was Nox's infamous killing move, designed to annihilate everything. But with barely 10% of its original power the effectiveness of this technique suffered tremendously. Worse, even if his enemy suffered damage chances are high they're going to return soon. Hellbots were the creations of a supernatural techno-organic virus. Their form was subtly in a constant flux, dictated by pure chaos. Any damage they receive is bound to be repaired in minutes with only one exception. To control their form and power Hellbots possessed something like a 'core', a small unit essential for the machine to function. Locating a Hellbot's well-hidden core and crushing it is the surest way to eliminate them. "[I]Estimated number of Hellbot cores destroyed: five.[/I]" Ignis immediately reported. Most 'kills' were scored during the landing. "[I]Heh, not bad from the smokescreen. Let's warp it up![/I]" Kainé Indeed, he used his killing technique for distraction and it did work just nicely. The entire battlefield turned into a scene of hell, Kainé's own personal hell. The true battle was just about to begin! "[I]All 52 core locations confirmed. 47 units left. Switching to offense mode. Velocitas Magnum power set to 1000, semi-auto.[/I]" Ignis reported as the pistols switched to wha Kainé unofficially referred as he "Desructor Mode". Steaming orange-hot radiators revealed themselves around the gun' body, ensuring optimal function even at such incredible output. Meanwhile more and more Hellbots made partial recovery, readying their weapons to overwhelm Nox wih their superior firepower. Nox crossed its guns while assuming a stance. "[I]Let's dance![/I]" Kainé exclaimed and Nox immediately lunged into action. First he gunned down two Hellbots in the opposite direction before they could pull he trigger. Beams of plasma penetrated the cores of both in the same instant. Then Nox alternated directions and shot down two other Hellbots with its guns pointing cross-wise. After that Nox swung out its arms while pulling the trigger four times, eliminating 4 Hellbots with surprising accuracy. "[I]Just 39 more! Come on! Don't make it too easy for me![/I]" Kainé shouted half-provokingly. Albeit he knew that Hellbots are too dumb to get it. That being said things were heating up rapidly as more and more Hellbots rushed to his field of fire. "[I]Kaniné[/I]!" "[I]I know Ignis.[/I]" So far Nox didn't move an inch from its original position but with the increasing numbers that was no longer a possibility. After shooting down the tenth Hellbot, Nox's body suddenly became a blur. Using Impetus Maximum Nox performed a rapid headlong charge with its knee crashing right into the enemy's chest. Unfortunately Kainé missed the core but that was quickly corrected by a point-blank Magnum shot. "[I]Bunch of dummkopfs! He's over there! Kill him![/I]" Zombio ried to command his machines, obviously not satisfied with the flow of battle. Too bad, Nox already danced away with a rapid cartwheel, scoring two shots while he was at it. Soon Nox found itself in the thick of the enemy, just the way Kainé wanted. With the enemy serving as his shield from long range attacks Nox began its game of robot massacre up close. First, he shot down two Hellbots that were too slow to turn. Then caught another robot's strike and rebuked it with the body of his Magnum, soon delivering a fatal shot with the other gun. Using this moment a rather bulky Hellbot tried to crush him with an overhead blow. Nox leaped away, turned mid-air and fired with both Magnums to ensure that opponent got what it deserved. Upon landing two Hellbots attacked him. One was charged him with a pair of extremely sharp blades. Never bring a blade into a gunfight. Kainé took that machine down without effort. The other attacked with a giant wrecking ball. Nox redirected that with an enhanced kick and shot down the attacker while it was at it. At that point both Magnums' magazines were empty. Instead of bothering to reload Kainé dismissed his guns to the sub-dimension and summoned his large sword, Radica-Lamina Segmentae. He immediately delivered a powerful swing upon landing which made a deep gash in the Hellbot's body. Unfortunately it didn't penetrate deep enough to destroy the core but that could be helped. Kainé delivered another blow, this time enchanted by an explosive surge of magic power. Like it were cutting butter the sword cleaved clean through the enemy. "[I]Only 28 left, huh[/I]" Nox's sword suddenly extended massively, working more like a bladed whip and it swept around in a circle. It didn' take down any of the Hellbots but gained him enough time for what he was about to do next. Nox summoned the magical revolver Fulminis Certus. The weapon was limited to 6 shots per reloads regardless of its settings thus it was less versatile than the Velocitas Magnums but the gun had its own kinks. [B][[FORTUNA MAXIMAE! ITERITAE!!!]][/B] Meanwhile Kainé rapidly pulled the trigger six times, unleashing six magic bullets cascading in erratic flight pattern. They were seeking enemies, penetrating their weak points and then repeat this so long they had power. Each bullet took down multiple Hellbots. Meanwhile with sword in his right and one of the Magnums in his left Nox attacked the remaining enemies. this fight was about to end.
