Alice Hamanaka vs. The Crystalanians Ch3

“Sheriff Blaze, there are.. there are Crystalanians in the town.. They're killing people,” the mayor solemnly told Blaze.

Chills run down her spine. No... I'm nowhere near ready yet...This can't be happening... She puts on her gun holster belt, puts in her revolvers, sticks her derringer in her right boot, and sprints out the door.

Blood is everywhere. Cut apart bodies of townspeople lay in the town square. Blaze runs through the carnage, to where the crowd of townspeople is gathered. She can see the Crystalanians... Three of them. Composed of red crystals, with their blood soaked red crystalline swords...

She knows what she has to do.

She runs to the head of the crowd, finds Deputy Ryan, and looks him right in the eyes. She unpins her Sheriff's badge, and pins it onto Ryan's vest.

“You're Sheriff now...” Blaze says with a solemn look on her face.

“What do you mean... Blaze, what are you going to do?!” Ryan worries.

“I'm going to fight them, Ryan. I know I won't survive, but I sure as hell want to take at least one of them down with me. Try to tend to the wounded...” Blaze murmurs.

“Blaze... you can't...” Ryan argues.

“I HAVE TO!” She screams.

“Sword of Flames!” Blaze commands, her pentagram necklace glowing purple as a purple flaming cavalry sword appears in her right hand. She unholsters her left pistol.

“Hey, there's the Sheriff!” a Crystalanian shouts, holding up his blood soaked sword. “What do you think you're going to do with those weapons? Hahahaha! Think you're going to save the town?”

Blaze grits her teeth, forming a Reaper mask over her face, and slowly Reaperfying the rest of her body. She flows Reaper energy into her sword and pistol, turning them pure white. She walks towards the Crystalanians.


“How dare you... come into my town! Kill my townspeople! When they did nothing to you! They can't even defend themselves against you!” Blaze shouts, her temper rising.

“What are you going to do about that, weakling?” The Crystalanian laughs.

Blaze Flame Steps to right above the Crystalanian's head, and swings her sword down with all she has.

CHING.

Blaze's sword doesn't make a scratch in the Crystalanian, and bounces off hard. But a crater surrounds the Crystalanian's feet from the force of Blaze's strike.

The other two Crystalanians get ready to kill Blaze, but the one Blaze hit spoke.

“Back off, she's mine,” he said with a smile.

Shaa.

The Crystalanian teleports so quickly Blaze can't see him, but she instantly guards with her sword. The Crystalanian knocks her back about 15 feet, his sword hitting hers hard.

CHING.

Blaze raises her pistol and shoots at him, shooting Reaperfied bullets as hard as she can.

BANG. BANG. BANG.
Cha. Cha. Cha.

The bullets do nothing to the Crystalanian, because he blocks them with his crystalline sword.

Shaa.

He teleports quickly, slicing off Blaze's left arm. Damn.... I need more power, I need more speed, I have to Reaperfy even more, Blaze realizes.

A white aura surrounds Blaze, as the rest of her body completely Reaperfies. Her body and arm and legs are covered in pure white armor. Her arm, refusing to regenerate, spurts purple blood down her left side.

“I won't let you hurt one more person in this town!” She screams at the top of her lungs in rage. I've got to focus... focus on what they did to Alicia. Let my Reaper powers completely take me over.

She Flame Steps again, to right behind the Crystalanian. She raises her sword, but is too slow, as the Crystalanian's body phases in and out of reality, cutting off her remaining arm and slashing through her stomach in the blink of an eye, her purple blood squirting out from her right shoulder and oozing out of the wound on her stomach. He also delivers a powerful punch to her face, breaking her Reaper mask and making her de-Reaperfy.

“I AM NOT GIVING UP!” She screams, leaning down and picking up her sword with her mouth.

Shaa.

The Crystalanian tries to cut Blaze again, but she blocks it with the sword in her mouth, the force of the hit sending her flying back ten feet.

CHING.

He teleports again, this time sending a powerful kick to Blaze's chest, knocking her to the ground. He teleports about twenty feet straight up above Blaze, and starts falling towards her with his sword in a stabbing motion, a maniacal smile on his face.

I can't fucking move... Blaze curses. This is it. I said I was going to kill the entire Crystalanian race, but I couldn't even destroy a single one. I couldn't even fucking scratch one.

The Crystalanian continues to fall towards her.

Alicia... I'm so sorry. I'm a thousand times sorry. I tried to save you, but I'm just a failure. Hopefully, wherever I'm going, I'll see you soon. I love you. I hope you can somehow forgive me. Blaze closes her eyes, waiting for the final blow.

The Crystalanian stabs his sword through Blaze's heart, the sword coated in a poisonous substance that stops her from regenerating. Thick dust comes off the ground and obscure's the Crystalanian's view of his kill. The dust finally clears, and he looks to the ground, excited to see his dead opponent.

Nothing's there. His sword is just stabbing into the ground.

Chik.

His sword comes apart, appearing to have been cut right through.

Skritch.

A long scratch appears on his chest. He looks down at the scratch, confused.

Ga-shah!

The scratch opens up deeply, sending red blood squirting in front of him and pouring down his chest.

“WHAT THE-?!” The Crystalanian screams in surprise. But his exclamation is cut short, by the most terrifying sound he could imagine.

He hears a demonic, inhuman roar from several feet behind. He turns to look around, and sees her.

Blaze is hovering several feet off the ground, letting out inhuman roars as her arms and stomach wound instantly regenerate, strings of white flesh popping from her wounds and re-forming her arms. Her blood, turning pure white, seeps back into the regenerating wounds it came from. The Reaper mask on her face is far more detailed than it was before, showing pointed teeth on it of some sort of monster. Her eyes have turned completely pure white. The white armor covering her body is much more evolved and intricate than it was before. An extremely powerful white aura surrounds her. The Sword of Flames comes flying off the ground as Blaze calls it to her hand. As she grabs it, the sword itself and the flames covering it turn white. As she lets out a powerful roar, all the windows in the town simultaneously shatter.

The Crystalanian stands up, eyes wide in fear, and turns to run away.

Flicker.

Blaze appears next to him in an instant, out of thin air. He tries to move his legs, but he falls face first onto the ground because both his legs have been sliced in half by Blaze.

Flicker.

Blaze is instantaneously standing on the Crystalanian, her left foot on his back and her right foot on his head. White bolts of Reaper energy surround Blaze's right leg as she charges it.

CRUNCH.

She curb stomps the Crystalanian's head, and in an explosion of blood she covers her foot and the ground in red. She lets out another mighty, planet-shaking roar as she leans down, charges her right arm with crackling bolts of Reaper energy, and drives into the headless corpse of the Crystalanian with a sickening crunch. Suddenly, white tendrils come out of Blaze's right arm, and stab into the Crystalanian's body. The body disappears, appearing to have been sucked into Blaze's right arm.

The remaining Crystalanians try to run, but are stopped by a growing wall of purple crystals. Blaze has absorbed the Crystalanian's body, and is using his crystal powers for her own uses. They look back at Blaze to see her creating the walls of crystal with a wave of her hand. Then she disappears.

Flicker.

One of the Crystalanians stops moving completely. The other looks in confusion at him, as his body completely falls apart in an explosion of blood. He's been cut clean through dozens of times, his crystalline mutilated body parts falling to the pool of blood on the ground.

The remaining Crystalanian cowers in the corner of the wall of purple crystals, screaming as loud as he can.

Flicker.

Blaze appears right in front of him, her empty left hand raised towards him. Suddenly, four floating white swords made of Reaper energy appear next to Blaze, all four of them pointing at the Crystalanian.

With a wave of her hand, the swords fly towards the Crystalanian faster than the speed of sound, causing a sonic boom to be heard.

Chik. Chik. Chik. Chik.

The swords stab into the Crystalanian's arms and legs, pinning him to the wall of purple crystal. He screams in pain and fear, blood dripping from the wounds created by the swords. A sphere of white Reaper energy appears in front of Blaze's mouth, pointed right at him at point blank. Being charged even further, the sphere of Reaper energy becomes unstable, sending crackling bolts of Reaper energy all over the surrounding area. Finally, Blaze lets the blast go, hitting the Crystalanian right in the chest.

BOOM.

The force of the blast completely destroys the Crystalanian, and levels half the town. Blaze herself is hurt from the blast, but easily regenerates it.

That's when the crowd of townspeople starts to cheer.

Flicker.

Blaze appears in front of the townspeople, cocking her head to the side as if she doesn't know what cheering is. She's not able to understand that these people are her friends anymore... She's too far gone.

She calls her left pistol to her left hand, turning it pure white as she grabs it from the air. She throws the Sword of Flames out of her right hand and unholsters her already Reaperfied right pistol, and points both at the townspeople as she lets out another roar. A sphere of Reaper energy appears in front of each pistol, being charged with unimaginable amounts of Reaper energy. Bolts of Reaper energy crackle around each sphere. In Blaze's hands is easily enough power to destroy the entire planet, pointed straight at all the townspeople.


Blaze's fingers move to the triggers.
