Chapter 821: In a heartbeat! [2/2]
"But why do you have to continue hurting yourself, Possum? You are all I have left! Do you really want to see me miserable? Seeing you in pain breaks my heart! I would rather you beat me instead!"
Tear's Robyn began falling from her eyes as she raced to catch me. The [Assassinate] round was about to reach Robyn's detection, so I opted to act now.
"I am sorry, you feel in love with an asshole like me Kitten. [Sky Sentinel]."
Suddenly regaining my ability to fly, I braked in midair. Robyn similarly slowed down. And took out her AA-12. She was about to speak when her eyebrows suddenly twitched.
"FUCK ME DEAD!" Before she could finish, I moved.
"[War Dancer], [Hellsend's Armory] 15 Switchblade 300. F90 MBRs."
Teleporting behind her, over a dozen loitering munitions chased after her. Robyn quickly took evasive maneuvers and began to shoot them from the sky. I joined in and peppered her with 12-gauge buckshot.
Due to her Zenith constitution, [Maestro] believed Robyn's combat reactions would have significantly deteriorated. And true enough just fifteen Switchblades dancing caused her to panic. Not giving her time to breath, I kept shooting her up until the [Assassinate] round arrived.
"FUCK! {Fade}!"
Robyn vanished in that moment. Quickly I invoked [Burst] and charged forward. When the Aussie reappeared, I grabbed her body in an embrace, shattered her mask and attacked her lips.
"Mmpf...Fucking…Mffph...G-guhmpf...Fuck…I…N-ygn.….you….FUck…."
Faster than even Jas, Robyn, quickly passed out. I had Wednesday deliver Robyn to my {Vassals}.
Friday who no longer had an opponent, quickly repositioned and moved towards Bella. When I was in range, I aimed at my Brazilian Bombshell and fired another [Assassinate].

"YOU FILTHY CHEATER! How in the world did you take down Jas and Robyn? All while fighting every one of us!"
"I will tell you later! For now, I will pin you down and French kiss you till you pass out!"
[Father, Mother, do you really have to do this?] [My dear parents we do not get tired, but this is a complete waste of time!] [Al-al! Ry-ry! What are you doing! We need to fight!]
[This entire endeavor is pointless! It's not even a real battle anyway! We are just destroying our platforms! They haven't even begun using {Rewind}! This battle could go on forever!] Henry my 2nd AI son whined.
Probably taken by the mood, Bella and I were fighting up close with gunkata. We each had a revolver and were smacking each other's hand while we tried to shoot the other. Exa and my children all stopped fighting at some point due to the futility of it all.
While [Maestro] sucked at close quarters, Bella was not a Descendant, so I could make do with just my reflexes. My {Limitless} was higher version than hers. Thus no matter what she did, I was several times faster.
"You can't beat me, Bella! And you know it! This cute little ass is minutes away from being taken to pound town!"
I playfully spanked her behind as she tried her best to fend me off.
"This fucking pervert! I will never surrender! If I did you are going to hurt yourself even more! I would much rather die!"
Taken aback by her serious response, Bella grabbed the opportunity and shot my right arm. Giving flesh for bone, I charged towards her with my arm hanging limp by my side.
"HA! Take that! I… Huh? Wait! What are you doing?!"
Using my one good arm I turned around and shield her from behind. All in time for [Assassinate] to bury itself into my back. Thankfully I still had Monday's soul armor.
"Huh? Was that Jas? Honey! Did it hit your spine?! Let go of me and let me check! NOW!"
"Ugh, damn that hurts! Mrs. Code. I am sorry for not consulting you. I never thought you were weak or incompetent. I rely on you a lot. It's just that, if I can spare you from suffering I would do it in a heartbeat!"
"Alright! Alright Let me see your injury!" when Bella grew frantic from the bullet embedded in my back I smiled in appreciation.
"Sigh. Why did I have to fall in love with you? Fine! I forgive you. It hurts to see you bled but so long as you come back to me, then I will accept everything. Promise me, okay?"
"I promise. Thank you, Miss Code. Now come here… {Sin of Limitless}."
"Mppffh...Bastard…Mpff...on't make me…Mmpffh...Regret this…."
I slipped off her mask and assaulted Bella with kisses until she passed out in my arms. Without her boisterousness she looked like a beautiful angel who descended on the earth. I embraced her and cradled her body in my chest.
"You little shits. If you got any familial piety, you will help me."
[Yes father, we are yours to command.] x3
"Alright split up your platforms and attack the remaining Sirens. Move!"

After firing a round at Bella, Friday swung his sights to where Saturday and Aki fought in the west and shot .50 Cals. rounds loaded with [Interceptor]. Then I once again changed targets and fired [Assassinate] rounds towards Thursday and Jo who were located east.
Meanwhile, [Sky Sentinel] Wednesday who already returned from delivering Robyn was on my way toward to reinforce Thursday and Jo.
Sunday, who was still in [Maestro], began to reinforce my other avatars using the Soulless and my own UGV. It was sad that only a pair of Ripsaws survived. All the replicated Challengers were toast. Sadly, Bella didn't keep Mangustas or CAESARS in her legion.

"Shujin. Come out come out wherever you are. I won't bite. Hmm… I guess that is a lie. Fufu."
Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
Aki walked without a care in the world inside the poisoned paradise she created. [Ninja] was not able to fight on par with her. In fact, [Ninja} was hardly for combat at all. It didn't help that Aki drew my blood and turned it into mist.
She used the blood particles to extend the violet smoke that permeated the battlefield. Given what I just learned from Carlos and Herman, it seems Aki was already training to fight with her domain, despite only till being a Phantom.
As I stayed still to heal the only saving grace was that [Ninja] hid me perfectly. Despite having {Sonar} and the {Listen} family of {Fates} Aki couldn't pinpoint where I was. Unfortunately, my advantages ended there, the moment I moved Aki would know.
Still, I wasn't worried. Help was already on its way.
"I guess you believe that it is already your victory Anata. I do admit neutralizing Jas was an amazing achievement, being able to fight all of us to a standstill including Lilly is also worthy of praise."
Aki then withdrew her AR-10 rifle and picked up two of the Odachi's floating about.
"However, despite all that, I have my own reasons for not wanting to lose. Much like everyone else it is because you do not wish to use us in battle. I am a blade, Anata. Your blade. You saw my determination. For your sake I would willingly give my life."
Hearing her heartfelt please, I couldn't stay still and came out of concealment.
"And that is why I also cannot lose Aki. Your life infinitely means more to me. I forbid you from using it for something so foolish as dying for me," I retorted in anger.
"And I abhor you for making me fall in love with you. For making your captive. Then using the life of the man I hold most dear as a mortar to rebuild this world! It all means nothing if you get die to change it! Anata, you will never change my mind on this!"
"Then I guess I will just have to push you down and ravage you until you can no longer resist."
"Let our blades speak for us! HERE I COME!"
Aki blinked a few feet away from me and swung her swords. The rest of the odachi followed her strikes like a pair of wings that had feathers made of blades. I rolled away and switched the Faxon Sentinel for my M134D minigun.
I quickly brought it to bear and unleashed a storm of 7.62 NATO at Aki. Just like last time she showed her insane ability as she cleaved the bullets using her swarm of swords. She then darted forward! Her metallic wings folded around her and acted like a shield.
The Bladed Kitsune advanced dauntlessly under my barrage! However, everything that happened till now was still within [Maestro's] predictions. Including what would happen next.
As more and more of my Avatars converged on the remaining Sirens, although the remaining Sirens were all powerful fighters, they would lose to me soon enough.
