Awaken Book 3: The Rise of Knonus

Chapter 33: A Hero's Gamble

~Earth~

SupaSound lands on top of a building as he observes the city around him engulfed in flames. The US Sound Force has helicopters and droids picking up survivors they can, qdemon warriors fan around it and attack those that didn't lift off. He jets off towards the demons as Sin tackles him from a building he swings off of, SupaSound spins and kicks him to the ground. He lands on the ground on his feet, he smiles as SupaSound lands and his head piece breaks off. His armor turns completely gold and shines bright as T-Mac dials in, "It appears you've been given a tremendous amount of power, it's been routed through the mainframe and it's increasing by the minute!" He says as Allen looks at his hands and balls them into fists. "In that case, full speed ahead, let's go." He says as he aims his blasters towards him and Sin disappears and reappears behinds him. His claws scratches his back as Allen steps forward and drives his foot behind him, the broken material on the back of his suit heals over time and hardens. Allen flips back and drives his foot on Sin's head, he punches him with the blasters attached to his wrist, sends him flying off his feet. Sin kicks him in the chest as the suit projects a field to prevent the foot to hit him, SupaSound claps his hands together and concentrates a small ball of sound. Sin slashes through the field and plants his hand to the ground, the ball dispenses into the air, "Expel." Allen says as the suit releases a loud, high pitch sound that shatters the ground around them. Sin immediately holds onto his ears, they both burst out blood and drops to his knees; SupaSound's jet boot flares up and kicks him in the face. Sin cracks his neck, pushes him to the wall behind him, he retracts his claws and punches the wall as Allen dodges it. The wall breaks down after Sin's punch as SupaSound leaps back to strategize a proper plan against this demon, Sin breaks his hand through his own chest. A small device connected to his heart flashes a light and he breaks it, a dark energy pours out to the ground. He grows bigger and his skin seems to rip in several places as his own regenerative cells won't even heal all the way as it's too much skin to piece back together. He roars loudly and charges towards him, "Ah...SHIT!" Allen yells as the suit automatically creates a cannon out of both his arms and uses his chest as a power stabilizer and delivers a full blast at Sin. The blast burns away at Sin's skin, he stands still as the force pushes him back. His arm flies off, Sin jams his other arm in the ground as his feet leave the ground, he vacuums the rest of the blast and his gauntlets light up. Sin charges at him with his newly regenerated arm and swings at him, Allen dodges the punch and sends the leftover energy into Sin's body. The vibrations radiate in his body and disappears almost instantly, he grabs Allen and stabs his claws into his stomach and chest, breaking through the armor and penetrating him. He coughs up blood, "Don't you worry, the nanotechnology will kick in, hang in there." T-Mac dials in as Allen is thrown to a building. Sin turns and walks towards him as his body implodes and blood, bones, and guts scatter everywhere. Allen slides down and smirks as blood runs down his bottom lip, the nanotechnology scatters to his chest and stomach, pieces together the torn pieces of his muscle and adds the lost blood, Allen gets up and he breathes out. "T-Mac. Notify the heads of the WSF(Worldwide Sound Forces)to retreat and rendezvous at the furthest city, additional assistance will be provided." Allen says as the program sends his message to the bunches of soldiers fighting and observing the cities from a bird's eye view. The planes orbiting the areas slowly keep away and soldiers get picked up by vans and huge trucks, more demon soldiers roam through the empty houses and leaving a path of destruction everywhere they went.

Madison zaps through several soldiers left and right, "This must be that power of the Holy Knights Banno told all of us back in Heaven. This feels amazing, I feel limitless, everything about me feels amped." She says to herself as Jo Da lands in front of her and smirks. "Greetings.." He says as he flexes his hand and a clear barrier explodes off of him and she neutralizes it with her lightning. He claps his hands as she smirks back at him, "Oh, I love the fierceness of this race, I already have what those soldiers I killed prior to this arrival don't have." He says as he bows to her, "The name's Jo Da, I'll be your opponent." He says to her, she bows down to him as politely as he did. "I'm Madison, pleased to fight you." She says as he raises his hand. "I have one request before we begin." He says as she taps the toe of her left shoe off the ground. "Don't hold back." He says as electricity charges through his body. She jets towards him and her kick strikes his forearm, she tries to kick his dominant leg and the kick shakes her. He throws a punch, she parries it, he jabs him three times , he pushes her off, and she hits the ground hard; she leaps and attack him with a butterfly kick. He blocks it as she surprisingly lands on the ground and he delivers a series of open palmed strikes to her torso and ends it with a chop to his neck. She delivers a strong strike to his ribs, he grabs her other hand and sweeps her off her feet, she dodges a fist behind her as it comes from something else she couldn't detect. It was a clone of Jo Da as she slides back, the clone dashes towards her and she delivers a forearm strike directly to his temple, the clone deflects her following punch and delivers an open palm strike to her stomach. She loses her step as Jo Da sends a burst of air towards her, she puts her guard up as it strikes her and she flies into a van nearby. She opens her eyes as he punches her through the van and she flies and crashes hard to the ground, he sends vicious shots all over her body, leaving her utterly defenseless. The clone dashes her and delivers a kick to her midsection, she hooks her arm around its leg and breaks it as she rolls away from the clone. The clone snaps its leg back together and puts her in a full nelson headlock, the clone merged in the wall behind them and hardens around her arms so now, it's nearly impossible to escape from its grip. "You were holding back, WHY?" He asks as he slaps her in the face. She doesn't say anything as he grabs her by the chin and stares at her intensely. "All a part of the plan.." She says as she reaches her foot to the road as a multitude of batteries start to spark the entire road both her and Jo Da are standing on. He looks down as the electricity zaps him and he doesn't feel it one bit, "Weak attempt of survival, hm?" He asks as she breaks a hand out and touches the road. Suddenly, the road shakes and cracks surge through, she smirks as Jo Da's face explains it all; she disappears out of his sight and appears right in front of him. "You want my all?" She says as she kicks him in the chin, blood comes out of his mouth and he skyrockets high in the sky above. He stops himself in mid air as she kicks him again but in the face, he snaps his neck back as the force completely turns him around. Madison smirks and charges up, clouds start to show around them both as he throws a punch at her. His fist phases through her and it zaps his body, her blue lightning turns golden, lightning strikes as everything around them goes dark, the light appears as Jo Da sees multiple clones of Madison. All the clones charge at Jo Da, he beats some of them as they don't feel damage, they all attack him head on, an endless amount of punches and kicks landing left and tight raining upon him. He falls as multiple clones follow out of the clouds with lightning striking behind them, Madison reaches him before he reaches the ground, she spins and lifts her leg high above his head. "Jupiter...ASSAULT!!!!" She yells as she lands her kick on his head and the road goes up in a massive explosion.

Through the smoke, Madison is seen standing and then she falls next to Jo Da, seems to be unconscious, she looks up to the sky, blood starts to leave her mouth. "Guess I overdid it..." She says in her mind as she sustained internal damage and tears in his organs and muscle tissue. She looks to the left of her, Jo Da disappears into dust as if he was never there. She hears laughter from somewhere nearby, Jo Da walks around the corner and walks towards her. "I have underestimated you, but I'm afraid you may suffer the same fate as all those brave souls who fought alongside you. You'll die with honor and with the most respect." Jo Da says as he turns around and grabs a blade of a sword that burns his hands a little. "Power of Light: Silent Bolt." A voice says as the cloaked being appears behind him and Jo Da's hands, head, and torso started to slide off his body in multiple pieces. The being lands next to Madison and checks on her as Jo Da appears with his expression slightly irritated, "I'm starting to become unpleased with how annoying this race tends to be. But no matter, I'll stop you all...oh? Kiano. As I live and breathe, you show yourself with perfect timing." He starts to say as the cloaked being takes down its hood, "Kiano couldn't make it, but you have the leisure to fight me now.." Quinn says as Jo Da takes his top off and demonic markings appear all over his chest and arms. "Oh. It won't be a fight, it'll be a bloodbath." He says as Quinn reveals his new sword, light shines off it and the blade touches the ground.
