Demonoid saw WZ step back, but he couldn’t retaliate. His vision blurred and a flash of colours passed in front of his vision. He almost fell into unconsciousness from the pain in his shoulder. The ringing in his head didn’t help the fact that he was fighting to stay aware of his surroundings. The voice he now felt familiar with continued on babbling in his head. Sparks flew from the wound in his shoulder. Demonoid felt the wound sting as the wind passed through it in a whistling that merged in with the alarms in his ears. He fell to one knee as he struggled with his own reflexes. The wound started to seal up, and Demonoid’s green glowing eyes began to fade.
RV: “… ystem damaged. Shoulder joint almost completely un-existent. The beam sabre caused most of the damage done, but the energy flooded into your system was too much to drain. We managed to drain much of the energy into the repairs for you arm .”
Demonoid: “What good is my arm if I can’t use my shoulder? Get on the repairs now! And one more thing, why do I feel damaged elsewhere from my shoulder injury?”
RV: “ As I mentioned, the massive flooding of energy overheated many components of your system. Many are currently malfunctioning. We are currently working on sealing up the wound on the shoulder component sir. Repairs on the inner circuits will, be established after the wound is sealed .”
Demonoid: “No! I want you to fix me up now you stupid machine.”
RV: “ I beg your pardon sir, but I am part of you, so you actually insulted yourself that time. We cannot send that much energy into repairs to those minor regions. We must complete the repairs first on the shoulder. If we use too much power on the others, you might not be able to defend yourself .”
Demonoid : “ I’ve been through worse, but ok fine, I’ll try and deal with him like this.”
Demonoid’s vision had now returned to normal, but as he got back to his feet, a wave of pain passed through his body. The lights returned to his vision, but were quickly flushed away but a green glow. Demonoid looked at his shoulder, and the wound was completely sealed. He could still feel the repairs being done inside him, but he knew that he could use his arm again soon. He just needed a few moments, but he had no time to waste. He snatched his fallen sword from the ground. Demonoid’s eyes had now returned to their normal glow. He charged at WZ with as much speed he could muster from his body. He felt the cool wind against his face as he ran into uncertainty. He had no way of knowing if he was charging into a trap, but he was still alive after the many times he had used this technique, so he had to be doing something right. His sword collided with WZ’s shield. The force from the blow made WZ slide on the metal floor. Demonoid saw a look of surprise on his opponent’s face, but was equally surprised that he had managed to move his opponent.
Demonoid tried many techniques on his opponent, but he managed to block them with expertise that Demonoid had rarely encountered. Demonoid noticed that WZ wasn’t using his blade sabres and that he was moving quite slower than he had previously. Demonoid came to the conclusion that his opponent was going to try something. He continued his onslaught, but the move never came. His mind was so set on countering the move that he made himself open unconsciously. He saw WZ’s fist as it headed for him. He knew he had no time to do anything so he prepared for the impact. If his body would have been made by any other metal than the one he was made of, he didn’t think he would have survived. He couldn’t imagine the metal holding out to such a blow. He felt like his entire stomach had been ripped apart. The voice rang again in his voice. Its annoying high pitched mechanical voice echoed through his mind.
RV: “ What happened? I’ve detected a new area hit. Stop fooling around .”
Demonoid : “Shut up will you!”
Demonoid back away, but he was surprised to see WZ not follow him. He must be low on power. Demonoid grabbed his side with his arm, but the pain didn’t go away. He would just have to endure it until it would go away. He looked at his damaged arm and raised his hand to his face. His arm had been repaired, but he still had trouble moving it. He moved his fingers in front of him. He let his arm fall to his side. The hand was surrounded by a bright light, and another sword, identical to the one in his other hand, appeared. Demonoid dashed at WZ with the two weapons in an X pattern in front of him. He wielded the blades with great skill, but WZ still managed to block the first few swings. Demonoid finally saw an opening in WZ’s defence and slashed with all his might. He felt his blade hit and the sound of metal on metal scratching resonated in the air around them, scaring off a few birds that flew overhead. |
