Cjap 151:bye new friend
*Bzzzz* An energy saw blade went through the head of one of Shin's clones.
Her head slowly slid off, but another of Shin's children grabbed the disconnected head and held it in place.
*Szzz*
There was a sizzling noise, steam rose from her wound, and seconds later, the wound was healed. It was brutal and gory, Takumi inwardly winced. They are exhibiting a terrifying level of cooperation, saving each other, and mutating simultaneously.
'This is so bad on multiple levels.' He thought as his fist punched one of Shin's many clones into the air.
Currently, his clone, wearing the downfall of castle and country, is hidden away from all the fighting. A new drawback he has just discovered is that this item has a charge time for the user to activate its effect.
His situation isn't any better when the clone is in his way, blocking him from their mother. The original stand, hunching over, motionless.
'I can't let her elvove any further!' If the clone needs a chance at taking Shin down then Takumi must clear a path for them.
"Spacium Beam!" Blasting his beam, the clones release their own collective purple rays.
His beams of light meet their purple rays at the midpoint, where Takumi and the Clones struggle to push their attack through.
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
'Damn it, not now!' Already, these things are wasting too much of his time. 'Ichika is still busy with cleaning up the fragment of Shin.'
"Damn you, don't underestimate me!!" Pushing back the beam by a bit, cracks begin to appear all over his giant form.
Takumi didn't care and stomach the pain, his light beam grew double in size. The new shift flipped the change to him, taking the open window, he pushed them all back.
*Boom!*
His beam pushes their radioactive breath all the way back to the copies. White light envelops them, then an explosion happens.
"Now!"
The two clones jumped out from their spot and bolted to the sky, the one using the Downfall of castle and country was being carried on the shoulder of the second clone.
They fly over the main body, his giant form was beginning to become translucent, half vanishing into tiny light particles.
Going into the cloud, they can't see anything for a short time. Soon, Shin's body was showing itself, still motionless.
"Just a bit closer." They were almost in range to use it now.
*blink* her eyes blink, as suddenly as the beam that came afterward.
The clone wearing the item was tossed aside, barely having any time to dodge. He can feel the heat and radiation eating up his flesh, even when he wasn't hit.
She turned her head, mouth opening, the breath followed, she must have noticed there was something strange with him.
The clones ran with all the strength they could muster. Parkour over the fallen mountain of rocks and molten pitfall made from all the destruction.
*Bzzz*
Amid the collapsing battlements and the dying roar of a nation falling apart, the lone clone figure darted across the ruined stones.
Just as the laser breath closed in on him, the relic in its ghostly banners rippled out like a spectral dragon rising from nothing, their presence warping the air.
Shin Godzilla hesitated for the briefest instant, her instincts recoiling at the oppressive aura it unleashed.
That moment was enough.
A luminous disc whistled down from above, Takumi sent a final cutting beam striking Shin Godzilla’s head with a violent snap that threw her aim wide. The redirected blast carved molten scars across the battlefield instead of bisecting him.
"Hargh!" Both of the clone hands shot into the air.
Downfall of Castle and Country ignited instantly. Golden light flooded through every carved line, every embedded sigil, until it looked less held in his grasp and more alive in it.
The air trembled. A majestic shape coiled out of the white dress, first a spine, then wings, then a serpentine head crowned with shimmering horns.
A gold dragon of pure light, born from the World-Class Item’s overwhelming authority, it soared above him with a roar.
The clone thrust both hands toward Shin Godzilla.
The dragon obeyed.
It dove with blinding fury, its long, incandescent body twisting through the smoke like a living comet. Shin barely had time to turn, her massive form already wounded and reeling, before the construct crashed into her chest with an explosive burst of light.
The impact rang like a giant bell.
Shin Godzilla staggered backward, the golden energy burning across her scales, her posture broken for the first time.
There was a struggle, she screamed and writhed like any wild beast that was caught. And she stopped, frozen in place like a statue. Mouth agape, eyes blank and soulless, but he knew she was still in there somewhere.
There he stood, beneath the fading afterglow, arms lowered but still gripping the artifact. Its power hums and fades away until the item reverts back to looking like just a piece of clothing.
Ichika returned hours later, having cleared all of Shin's fragments. He landed next to Takumi's main body; his clones were all collected and brought back to him.
"How's your day?" Ichika asked, returning to his human form.
"Pretty fun, you?"
"Boring, I didn't fight any of them, and just blitzed the shit out of all of them."
*Thud*
At this time, the two clones of Takumi were dropped to the ground by his side. The one wearing the downfall of castle and country is dead tired and the other one is missing some of his limbs.
"Uhhh.... are those guys going to be alright ?"
"Yea." Takumi answered dryly. "Just need to heal once we get back."
"And food....." one of the clones added, his voice was weak and raspy. "I miss my wife." He mumbled.
"Need help bringing her back? She's a big girl, and I dunno if your portal can take her."
Takumi paused, looking at the air for a bit. "Nope, I'm good. Thanks for the offer."
"Well, it's been nice knowing you, man."
"Same here, oh, I just remember. Do you have like...anyway for us to communicate?"
"Here." Ichika picks a phone out of his pocket and gives it to him.
"A flip phone ?" Takumi held the device in his hand, the phone looked toy-like, designed like a futuristic toy phone rather than a real one.
"Hey, you asked for one." Ichika went on a bit on how to use it, "works just like a normal flip phone, just that it can only be used to call otherworlders like me and you."
"Opening up the contact list, it has one name in it."
"I'd better go before this world's government gets here. See you later bro."
"Be safe, and please, call first."
