Chapter 2: trial by fire
Parian POV
"It`s a simple choice Parian , nothing too difficult." Right a "simple" choice. I either join them and die once they take my mask of and that's it. hook wolf nodded to one of his enforcers, the same one that shot up the front of the dollhouse.
"common lady make up your mind and it'll all be over, well maybe not for your people." I couldn`t do anything, if I did innocent people would die. Bowing my head, I had no other choice. I heard hook wolf chuckle. my workers: my family protested, but I was doing this for them
"All right lady, get up Kaiser wants to…"
thud
All of us turned our eyes to the building overlooking us. Something landed something that was moving fast. The thugs pointed their guns up, for a moment their attention was away from us. One of the new tailors I hired, (Maya I think her name was) cut her bindings. Looking back towards our captors their attention not on us at the moment, I motioned for Maya to cut the rest free. Luck didn`t seem to be on our side today as one of hook wolf thugs looked her way.
"! Hey what are you doing, boss their trying to get away!" pointing his gun at them Maya put her hands up.
"you weren't try in to escape were yea. Heh alright boys fi..."
"Hey assholes"
Looking back up there was a massive fire ball heading towards us. A figure`s outline could be seen in the middle. Scared some of them started to open fire.
"get ready"
"! hurry Maya get everyone inside!" they scrambled to get away, our savior giving us perfect opportunity to escape. I jumped in thru one of the windows that was shot out.
"! Falcon Punch!"
I groaned subconsciously, somehow I would become familiar with this feeling sometime soon. Then it happened.
BOOOOOOM
Our savior hit the ground with enough force to make the building shake. Crawling towards the display window. peaking over I finally saw our savior, and I blushed. Standing in a crater there was an extremely tall woman, hands on her hips she looked around with a bored expression. Taking the time to examine the strange women more clearly, she surprised me. A strange purple fabric covering light brown skin, the sash around her chest exposed most of her stomach. Baggy pants covering her legs only exposing part of her feet, the nails on her hands and feet were slightly elongated. Thin lips parted in a malicious smile, partially exposing slightly elongated canine teeth (well for a nine-foot-tall women). Large amber colored eyes shined with excitement. Her hair cascaded to the small of her back like a literal sea of fire. The most prominent feature on this woman were the two three-foot-long curved horns on her head. Turning towards us I also noticed bangles on her wrists, a jewel adorned it center of the ring. Both hanging loosely on her arms.
"psss Parian w…who is she" Maya asked me. I didn't` t have the answer, but she`s helping us.
"Who the hell are you" we heard hook wolf finally speak. Standing up he looked singed. Parts of his hair were missing. most of his cloths were burned, leaving holes that exposed steal covered muscle. His mask had a dent were he collided with the cement. Most of his men were either unconscious or had first or second degree burns. Twelve men taken out in a second.
"Who me, well that my dastardly fiendish foe is a story for another time… and that time is now."
Crossing the distance between her and hook wolf in a second, she grabbed his head with her left hand lifted him into the air, then proceeded to slam him into the ground leaving a hook wolf sized hole. Extracting him from his hole she threw him in my direction, hitting the wall with a thud. a six foot wall of muscle treated like a ragdoll.
"I my lady and foe am the personification of the will of fire and fight, and on this night of jubilant justification I have descended on the jaded and jealous masses being of both judge and jury I have passed swift judgment on jester and jailors, jumping to bring just punishment and jaunty jeers. I am a champion of justice, but you my fair lady, may call me jinn"
"A…Are you all right miss?" I asked her. she got more and more exited as her monologue continued, making expressive gestures with her arms to emphasize her point. Ending it with a bow.
"I my lady am fine unlike my metallic foe I am made of sturdier material, but thank you for worrying."
Her voice had a type of growling edge to it. It was noticeable in her voice. she knew she was going to win (AN:bullshit). That entire confrontation lasted fifteen second, jinn took more time introducing herself the fighting. "what did you do to him? he was one of Kaiser more brutal lieutenant's"
"Who, mien d-bag here and his platoon reject storm troopers, with bad aim included to."
"Yes him." She adopted a more relaxed look. Putting her hands behind her head, she gave me a nearly face splitting smile.
"Simple really I just falcon pinched them in their collective junks. Fido here I had to double tap him though."
I rolled my eyes behind my mask. I was going to ask her something else when two giant shadows appeared behind us. Looking behind us with spears and shield drawn two Valkyries blocked the path
It was Menja and Fenja
POV change: Taylor/jinn
"Daaaaaamn, that some big Nazis there" looking towards Parian (I think here name was) she seemed terrified.
"Eh I seen bigger, and fought bigger to. you can handle them"
"Hey get back in side and protect your people, I'll take care of the wonder twins here" she wanted to protest, raised my hand to stop her. "it`ll take more than these two to hurt me". I couldn't see her eyes but she was probably giving me a disbelieving look.
"fine but we will continue our conversation later." giving her a smile, I noticed one of the Valkyries ready to step on her.
"Where do you think you going?"
I was in front of Parian in a second. holding the foot back with one hand, holding her with the other. Because of my size she was off the ground. holding Parian closer to me I tightened my grip on the colossal appendage.
"What the hell do you think you doing you freak, let go of my foot!"
"Oh I'll let go but you won`t like what I do after." Pushing her foot up so she was off balance, quickly switching Parian to me left hand I jumped up. Grabbing the giant by the hand on the way up, I used the momentum from the jump to flip her over. Landing on the ground I pulled her down, slamming her on her side. I wasn`t done, grabbing her hand by the fingers I spun and broke them.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH Damn you!"
"! Fenja no, you bitch!"
"So this is Fenja, then you must be Menja". putting Parian down I motioned for her to go. She nodded her head and left quickly. Turning back towards Menja and Fenja I ignited my hands.
"Alright Taylor remember they got some major durability, but hit them hard enough they will fall."
"gotcha, hit`m fast and hard" Menja made her move, spear and shield lifted she charged. Jumping up I dodged the lunging attack with the spear, quickly followed up with a kick to deflect the shield. I got caught by the wild swing of her spear. I hit the ground hard leaving a few cracks were I landed.
"You ok kid?"
"Yeah I'm fine, just got the wind knocked out of me." I dodged to the side to avid the spear heading towards me. The spear head lodged itself into the ground I saw my opportunity, gathering fire in my hand I threw I at the spear tip.
"Augh stay still and die"
"Oh...is the fifty-foot beanpole mad." Running between her legs to avoid the stomp, I ran into a massive shield bash. Hitting a street light and going thru a building. stopping suddenly when I hit another streetlamp. "that Is a solid shield, a really solid shield." Standing up I shook the cobwebs away, just in time to see menja hop over the apartment complex. Dodging a downward swing, I aimed a fire ball at her knee.
"Be conservative with those fire balls kid, remember keep property damage to a minimum"
"! Tell her that!" dodging another shield stomp I threw another fire ball, focusing more on impact. This time bringing her down to one leg. Grabbing the downed street light, I swung as hard as I could at her armored head.
CLANG
The hit threw her head back, a loud metallic clang rung out threw the empty street. Falling she hit the side of the building I went thru earlier. Losing her size as she fell unconscious. Sighing in relief I was happy I made it out no worse for wear.
"Good job Taylor, I'd say this this night's practice was success"
"Right a success, you have a really strange way of measuring success you know that" I sat down in front of Menja, she groaning and holding her head a dent noticeable on her helmet.
"That was certainly spectacular miss jinn"
Turning my head to the voice, Parian was coming towards little Knicks and tears adorned her costume. "Well what can I say, I wanted to put on a show" running a hand thru my hair I stood up. Walking towards Menja, planning to take her back to the doll house to wait till the PRT arrived. cause really explosion's and giants are really hard to miss
"Right then let's get this one back your place and wait for the PRT" hoisting Menja on my shoulders, I fallowed parian back. We walked back in silence, asking the occasional question about her business. apparently capes: heroes and villains send costumes in to get mended, the PR guy for the prt sends for a new costume every time there's an aspiring ward. Wonder what they might say about my horns.
Rounding the corner, I saw Fenja was human sized again. looking around the neighborhood, I got a sense of how much damage we caused. In the middle of the street was the crater I caused, few feet in front of that was a hook wolf sized hole. To the side was the hole I caused when I got hit with the shield.
"You know all things considered, tonight wasn`t that bad." Glancing at Parian she was using cloth from her shop to tie up hook wolf. Turning to where I was standing she did the same to the sisters.
"yes cause the explosions and the bullets were a very minor thing." Giving her grin I tried my best to look sheepish. Looking up, the moon it was still pretty high so it wasn`t close to morning.
"Handled yourself well tonight, taking out a threat as fast as you did with wolf boy saved us a lot of trouble. Knocking the air out of Fenja stunned her for a second, compounding that with broken fingers then a broken wrist made her pass out not to long after. Menja was a little tougher, but using fire balls like ya did was smart. Taking her down to one knee then ending with a whack to the head. Putting that much force in that short of time doesn't work on everything, but when your targets are soft and fleshy it gets the job done."
"So when are the PRT getting here?" my question was answered a few second later. Turning our heads to the sound of engines, we saw six armored vans heading our direction. In front was armsmaster leading the charge. Finally stooping in front of us, heavily armed guards stepped out pointing their guns at us. Instinctively I moved Parian behind me, guess horns don`t inspire trust.
"Stand down"
End chapter 2
alright ladies and gentlemen thank you for slogging thru this far. me being kind of rusty have to remember how to do the English language correctly. but enough excuses, I won`t proclaim I know what I'm doing most of the time, got a general idea were I'm taking this. feed back would be helpful
Any way onto the characters: Taylor her self will be going thru a more emotional growth, ifrit and the rest just giving her different options.
Also some might ask "why isn`t ifrit angrier or telling her to kill." simple explanation for now, is cause he`s experienced something traumatic. If you look at worm Taylor her self is kind of broken. adding that to the fact that most summoning don`t have that much of a backstory in final fantasy, here my take on it
to user Kknd2 thank you for catching on. the watcher were gonna call him that for now, is familiar with the damage caused in Taylor own multiverse(note: I am using the word multiverse as Taylors connected realities. dimension's are used as areas outside of her multiverse).
also thank guys for pointing out mistakes it really helps a lot. Anyway I am starting to babble, so read. review. have a nice day
