Awaken Fighting Spirit
Oh look over there, a bonus chapter. How rare.
-------------------------------
The ability to control the minds of others is one of the hamon abilities shown by Caesar during part two. It allowed the user to take over the minds of weak willed people via lip contact. Raijin had improved this ability by allowing him to do it with simple touch. Asami had created an alternate version of this that allowed her to control plants.
Now, if this was Asami, then she would have tried to control the plants properly and make them do what she wanted them to, like moving around and grabbing things. However this Asami was a parasyte, so it didnt have that level of creativity. Instead it did what it thought to be what would have been the most efficient move in that situation.
So it forced the plants life energy into themselves, using a technique similar to the Deep Pass Overdrive. This allowed her to gain slight increases in physical strength, and large increases in hamon quality. Plants ripple is different from humans as it depends a lot more on it. The reason for this being that the plants don't have to move and simply have to do three things to survive, look at the sun, absorb water, and breath.
These things are incredibly simple so there isn't any issue in doing it, so the plants are able to produce hamon of a much higher quality then humans and other animals. Although ripple is only accessible through breathing, it doesn't matter if it is oxygen that they are breathing. This is shown by the fact that ripple is called life energy, meaning it is the energy of all life forms, not just animals. So plants are also dependent on this energy.
Plants hamon is better because they rely on photosynthesis, so their bodies are already much more resistant to UV rays then humans. This allows them to use higher wavelength hamon much more easily because their body is already able to withstand UV rays without any problems. Although they cant make X rays, they are able to make high wavelength UV rays, which are close to the potency of Kars's. Kars was the perfect being made of every living things DNA, so he got his extreme hamon quality from plants, and his huge amount of it from animals.
Asami was rapidly improving her hamon quality by absorbing plant after plant as Xeno racked his brain to find a way to kill her before she could do anything else. When he found that he couldn't think of anything as she was getting to powerful to fast for any of his ideas to work, he decided to use his trump card.
He looked at her one last time, before he took a deep breath, and ran.
Straight at her.
He jumped up and tackled her, trying to get the upper hand in close combat as it appears. She easily grabbed him with her tentacles after she had regenerated them and made one that had a blade at the end. She shot it toward him and it pierced through his stomach.
She smiled with a slight amount of arrogance in her eyes, strange considering parasytes don't have emotions. She opened her face completely and started to pull him in.
However, this arrogance quickly became disbelief as she felt some weird metal in her mouth. She created eyes to look at him, and saw Xeno starring at her with eyes that practically smiled. She looked down, only to see his tongue was out and abnormally long, with a long blade on both sides of it.
She sent a tentacle down to block it, but the second she touched it, her tentacle started to bleed at if it was being shredded. Her eyes started to show another emotion Xeno didnt know was possible for her kind, fear.
She tried to pull the tentacle back, however the hand in the back pack reached out again and grabbed it, pushing it closer to Xeno's tongue before she could react to stop it. Her tentacle turned into blood that flew everywhere and in every direction as she watched it get chopped up by some invisible force.
She didnt know what it was and tried her best to keep a calm mind to investigate. She calmed herself down and started to observe, at the same time as she attempted to pull the tentacle back. What she ended up seeing were tiny spinning saw on each of the taste buds on Xeno's tongue. Each of them were suspended above the taste bud slightly in order not to injure them as they spun.
She looked at the tiny blades in horror as she tried to understand what was happening, but before anything else could happen, Xeno swiped his tongue left and cut of two of her tentacles, leaving most of her left side open. The right side tried to grab him and stop him from escaping, but failed as the mechanical hand grabbed those tentacles and Xeno rolled away from her.
He then pulled his tongue back into his mouth and started talking. "So what do you think? Pretty magnificent isn't it? The elegance that technology can achieve with the help of science is truly astounding!" He said as he brushed off his shirt.
"What you just saw was the mini buzz saws that I had installed in my mouth a few months ago. You have no idea how hard it is to not only make blades that small, but to also figure out how to make them spin with only body heat and install each and everyone of them onto each taste bud on my tongue! It would have been hard enough with normal modern tools, but to do this with stone age equipment? It was pure torture!" He said as he picked up another gun and he watched Asami start to heal.
"Though, I didnt think I would have to use this any time soon. And I especially didnt except to have to use them on you of all people, maybe Freddy or Raijin, but not you. Raijin had told me about what had happened to him up until now. Though I can assume he is hiding a lot of it, he did tell me about you and that vampire. Based off of what I learned about you, I didnt think you would actually try to fight me this long." He finished as he aimed at Asami's head.
He then pulled the trigger, causing a bullet to soar through the air and right into Asami's brain. The parasyte immediately started crying out in pain, but it endured somehow and continued to use hamon to repair it. Fortunately for the parasyte, Xeno only managed to hit the part of the brain that deals with perception, so it could easily repair itself.
It finished this one as quickly as possible and created a new eye, then it looked back at Xeno, only to find him ready to shoot again. Asami wouldn't let this happen again and immediately shot forward. Xeno shot her in a slight panic but she dodged it and sent a blade tentacle at him. It pierced straight through his right lung.
She stood up proudly over what she thought was his corpse, ready to try once again to eat him, however she stopped as she felt something and looked toward the forest.
There she saw a five meter tall grizzly bear standing there starring at her with eyes covered in a shadow. She felt four of her kind were attached to this bear, and all of them gave off a strange feeling that she couldn't understand.
Freddy was feeling anger.
Freddy had been wondering through the forest for the past few days looking for food, when he smelt the sent of blood, and when he followed it, he could feel that parasyte that attacked him and Raijin again. He hurried to it and when he arrived, he saw the women standing over Xeno as if she was going to eat him.
Normally parasytes cant feel emotions, however Freddy was different. Raijin had started working on his hamon wavelength ability in the first place in order to mutate Freddy's cells and make it loyal to him, at the same time as he gave it emotions. However, what Raijin didnt realize was that with the constant mind control hamon, he had already begun to mutate him over a year ago. By now, Freddy already had emotions.
Over the past month, although Freddy didnt get along well with anyone else, he did come to like Xeno. This was mostly because Xeno would always compliment him, feed his ego and give him a lot of self confidence. However, he also came to see Xeno as his teacher of sorts as Xeno would teach him how to use advanced human technology like robotic arms, machine guns, and doors.
So by now the only ones he actually liked and trusted were Raijin and Xeno. He may be a little to trusting to people as he formed that relationship with Xeno very quickly. Even so, seeing his friend and mentor laying in a pool of blood on the ground pissed him off.
He looked up at Asami a growled, as if yelling at her to back off. Asami smiled and looked back down at Xeno, revealing a face of excitement. She bent down and opened up her face, then bit down. When she stood back up, the entirety of Xeno's heart, lungs and most of his torso were missing.
Asami simply stood there shewing. She would have ran the second she saw Freddy, however she was to hungry to leave and she had become more confident in her abilities after absorbing the trees lifeforce.
Meanwhile, Freddy was standing there with an expression of pure rage and sorrow as he looked at the dead Xeno. His body started to shake as he clenched every one of his muscles, doing his best to keep himself calm, but failing. This was the first time he had ever lost someone, so he didnt know how to react and simply became angry.
He looked at Asami with eyes full of hatred as he practically radiated killing intent. That was his first teacher and the second friend he had ever had, so naturally he was as angry as he could be. He felt a surge of fighting spirit rush through him as he charged at her.
He summoned his hamon across his body and strained his body to the maximum to make it move faster. But then he felt something strange. His hamon was moving through him, but some of it felt weird, and more focused. This hamon moved outside of his body without him telling it to, so he looked over at where it came out.
Around the five meter bear, four lights flew out of him and began to float around his body. Each of them then took a different shape and color, but they were all the size of a bowling ball. One was an azure blue dragon, covered in a very fast moving blue aura. The second was a red phoenix, covered in a thick red aura. The third was a white tiger, covered in a thin, and very transparent white aura. The final was a black turtle, covered in a slowly flowing black aura.
Freddy didnt know what they were, but he didnt care right now and just decided to focus back on Asami. He felt incredibly angry, so he didnt have the time to figure out what the weird things standing beside him were.
What he failed to notice was the azure dragons eyes flare. They started to glow blue at it flew toward Freddy and shrunk. It turned into a small version of itself that looked like a statue with glowing blue eyes that was about the size of a large coin. It then rolled itself up and a chain grew around it as it fit itself as an amulet around Freddy's neck. Freddy also failed to notice that he started glowing with a ferocious blue aura the second he wore the dragon amulet. The other lights simply floated around him, as if on standby.

Oh ho, a cliff hanger. I will be leaving you at this for the next few days because I have a lot of schoolwork to catch up on and I have to finish planning out volume three, so I am going to take a few days off of writing, sorry. It should be only five days maximum, so don't worry about me dropping it for to long, its just a short break. I will not drop this, I will only stop once it is complete, so don't worry about that. Thanks for reading.
