Day 28: The Final Battle

Ryan's eyes shot open. Today was the day. He sat up, grabbing his phone and turning it on. The background was replaced by a picture of Ryan and Kiara which Suisei was happy to send. He closed his eyes and two sheathes appeared on his back, each holding a one-handed sword, one black and one white. He opened his eyes and went to his messages. Amelia sent him the location of where to meet. It seemed to be the same location where Gura and Amelia had their wedding. "Well, I wouldn't want to be late," Ryan stood up. "Time to go."

-

Ryan stepped into HoloHQ to see a fairly big crowd of people, around fifty, all of them familiar faces. "Ryan!" Kiara called over. She was talking with Civia and Yogiri. Ryan walked over, offering a small smile to the three girls.

"Morning Tenchou, Yogiri-san, Civia-san," Ryan gave a polite bow of his head as he greeted them.

"You got spunk showing up, kid!" Yogiri placed a fist on his chest, giving him a wide smile. "It means a lot that you did, though."

"Thanks," Ryan smiled back. "I won't let you down."

"Remember to be careful, though!" Civia said with a gentle yet assertive tone. "We wouldn't want you to get hurt too badly!"

"I'll keep that in mind," Ryan said.

"It's nice to see you again, Ryan," Ryan turned to see Aruran greeting him. "A surprise, but a pleasant one, no doubt."

"Ah, it's a pleasure, Aru-san," Ryan shook his hand. "Stay safe out there, okay?"

"Ryan!" Ryan's through process when a girl slammed through him. When Ryan recovered, he noticed that he has met the girl before. He met her the day before at the store where he bought the plate.

"Do I know you?" Ryan asked, rubbing the back of his head.

"You once did. I heard about your predicament," the girl said. "My name is Brianna Edhas, it's a pleasure to meet you again."

"It's nice to meet you," Ryan shook her hand, offering her a kind, polite smile. "I apologize for not remembering anything."

"Ryan!" Ryan and Brianna turned to see Brianna and Jack walking up to them. "I see you've met Brianna."

"Yeah," Ryan said. "What are you guys doing here?"

"Oh, you didn't know?" Jack took his mask from his trench coat. "We're a part of the Masked Mages. We'll be the forefront of the raid."

"Really," Ryan said. "I saw the MeTube video. Quite daring."

"Shade was always one for dramatics," Brianna sighed. "He wants to take out MILF in one fell swoop."

"Is that possible? They're so big," Ryan noted.

"With you it will be," Everyone turned to see Reporter and Storm walking up to the group, their masks on.

"R-," Brianna was cut off by a hand from Reporter.

"Call me Reporter. The old me is long gone," Reporter said.

"Both of you should be dead," Brianna said.

"So should you, but here we are," Reporter said. "It's nice to see you again, Bri."

"What are you doing here?" Ryan shot Storm a glare. "Weren't you with MILF a while ago?"

"I never was," Storm said. "I do what the void commands me to do. In this case, the void wills me to assist you."

"Whatever," Ryan scoffed.

"Can I have your attention please?" YAGOO's voice was heard over the loudspeaker, catching everyone's attention. YAGOO was standing on a podium with A-Chan and Shade standing on either side of him. "As you know, we are here to rescue our friends in China, but China will be heavily fortified. Today, our goal is to take out MILF in its entirety. If our sources are correct, the entire Foundation will be on China's borders. We need to be ready. There is no one more qualified than the ones that are here in this room. We have all lost something or have been threatened by the existence of MILF. Today we will fight their oppression. For our loved ones. For those who could not join us in this moment. We will fight for the right to be who we are. We will fight for our freedom!"

There was a loud cheer following YAGOO's small speech. Ryan smiled. "Now, our friend Brianna here will be opening up a portal to the attack zone. Let's go. And everyone," YAGOO's smile turned soft. "Please don't die."

-

Ryan stood behind Brianna as she held her arms in front of her, hands outstretched. She closed her eyes and a glowing light appeared from her hands. A portal grew in front of her. "Let's go," Brianna said as she walked in. On the other side, Ryan saw a flat terrain a few kilometers from the Great Wall. Even from there, Ryan could see the large amounts of soldiers and the huge guns placed on the Great Wall of China. Ryan saw tanks, helicopters, cars, jeeps, and plane in the distances and the thousands of dots that each represented a soldier.

"There's only like fifty of us," Ryan breathed. "Is it really possible to take all of them on?"

"Don't worry, we will be fine," YAGOO put a hand on Ryan's shoulder and pointed to the sky next to him. "Look."

As YAGOO said that, a gigantic mech fell from the sky. The mech had a duck's face and was completely white. The blue eyes flared to life as it spread its legs and leaned back to shout. "SHUBAAAAA!!!"

Marine held a bottle in her hand and took out the cork, throwing the bottle as far as she could behind her. With a flash of light, the bottle grew into a gigantic floating galleon. "I'm finally a full-fledged pirate! Let's pillage the fuck out of these bastards!"

With a bright flash of light, Matsuri grew in size until she was matching the duck mech which Ryan dubbed "Shubagelion". "I AM GOD!"

Coco grew in size until she was in her dragon form. She let out a ferocious roar, jets of fire jutting from her mouth.

"I guess there's no time like the present," Kanata floated in the air, her eyes closed, and arms outstretched. With a large, white glow, Kanata started to shift and grow until she was a 30-meter-tall gorilla. Gorilla Kanata let out a booming roar as she pounded her chest.

Shion stood atop her broom as it floated up next to the Shubagelion. With a wave her wand, gigantic boulders rose up, forming two giant fists. Shion put her fists together, the giant fists mimicking her movements.

Two smaller mechs flew down from the heavens, each hovering beside the Shubagelion. "LET'S DO THIS-PEKO!" Pekora's voice blared from the blue mech, a giant blue arm grabbing a rocket launcher with an explosive carrot sticking out of it.

"FAQ!" Miko's voice rang from the pink mech as it hoisted two sniper rifles. "STAY HOME!"

Pekomama stood next to Pekora with a scepter twirling between her fingers. "As the queen of Pekoland, I deem MILF too dangerous to continue. You have all chosen death."

"HAACHAMACHAMAA~!!!" Haachama appeared through the portal riding a gigantic tarantula, jets of fire bursting from her hands spread out beside her.

"It's time for bonk," Ina grabbed her squishy bangs, pulling them. As she did, her tentacles grew to a gargantuan size. With a purple light, multiple giant crowbars appeared in the grasp of her tentacles. "You will pay."

Akirose up using one of her discs as the second one grew to thrice her size as it floated around her.

Mel sprouted bat wings and flew up next to Aki. "You ready?"

"I thought you'd never ask," Aki smiled at her friend.

Suisei raised her hand up, a giant golden axe forming itself in her grasp. She spun the battle axe with practiced ease before slamming the hint on the ground, a gust of wind forming around her.

"Lethal force authorized, switching to combat mode," Roboco took off her glasses as a form of red lightning started to crackle around her.

"Finally! I get to let loose!" Fubuki's hair turned dark. When she opened her eyes, they were blood red, signifying that Kurokami was in control. Black flames danced around her sword as she unsheathed it. "Let's go, motherfuckers!"

"You ready, Koro-san?" Okayu asked, sharpening the knives on her claw-shaped gauntlets before putting them on.

"Yubi Yubi!" Korone dawned similar gauntlets. "All their Yubis will be mine!"

"As much as I would prefer to use a mace, I think it's time to dance with my old partner once more," Noel unsheathed a massive, golden two-handed sword. "Let's go, Excalibur."

"I won't fall behind!" Flare clashed two gauntlets together, causing sparks to fly. The impact created a small blast of wind, causing her ponytail to fly in the wind.

Mio growled, a minotaur appearing behind her, cracking its knuckles in sync with Mio. "Let's go, Hatotarus. Let's show them what we're made of."

"Don't leave me out of this!" A girl with disproportionate horns flew down, fire dancing from her fingertips.

"Aloe?! You're alive?!" Nene exclaimed.

"Not really, but do you think some measly thing like death would get in the way of fighting with my family?" Aloe asked, a smile forming on her face. Nene, Polka, Lamy, and Botan smiled back. "I guess HoloFive is back in action."

"I heard that!" Calli swung her scythe, another cloak flowing onto her back and a hood enveloping her face as she grew into size until she was 5 meters tall.

"Don't mess with an Apex Predator!" Gura yelled, slamming her trident on the ground. A cyclone of water amassed itself with Gura at the center before the water formed itself into a gigantic shark.

"I love it when my wife wants to be a badass," Amelia walked up next to Gura, holding her left hand out next to her. With a soft yellow glow, a rocket launcher twice her size appeared in her hand. "Ah, the Ground Pounder. How I've missed you."

Jack sighed as his eyepatch was lit ablaze with green fire. When he opened his left eye, it was green opposed to his right eye, which was brown. When he put on his mask, the green light shined through his number. "Let's just hope we don't have to rely on that watch again. I'm still ashamed for creating such a monstrosity."

"You ready, Ryan?" Sabrina waved her wand and it grew into a baton. With her other hand, she put on her mask. "Last chance to back out."

"Like hell," Ryan said, unsheathing his swords before turning his attention to Storm.

"It would be an honor to serve you again," Anya said to storm. "But I must join this fight as well. They have my friends. This is all I can offer you."

With a soft glow, a kris floated slightly above her palm. "Thank you, Anya," Storm took the blade, a dark energy emanating from it as he grabbed it. "It is a pleasure to fight with you again."

"Alright!" Shade's voice was heard, catching everyone's attention. He was floating 4 meters above the ground facing everyone. "Today is the day. You all heard YAGOO's speech. Let's get our friends. Charge!"

-

"Yogiri is back in China!" Rosalyn exclaimed as her book started to glow.

"Really?!" Artia exclaimed. "Where is she?! Is she safe?! What is she doing?!"

"Spade, can you get a visual?" Doris asked.

"Sure!" Spade Echo closed her eyes and activated her magic. After a few seconds of silence, she gasped, opening her eyes.

"What did you see?!" Rosalyn asked, looking at her friend with worry.

"Yogiri got YAGOO," Spade Echo replied. "They're storming the country."

-

Ryan enhanced his legs with magic and dashed towards the countless masses of MILF soldiers, swinging his swords. Time seemed to slow for him as he dodged bullets, slashed through soldiers like a warm knife through butter, and dashed through their ranks. Ryan knew he shouldn't be distracted, but he couldn't help but take in the sights.

"Poi!" Botan chirped as she threw a grenade in the air. Lamy used her magic to push it into the middle of a bunch of soldiers. Polka then threw Nene up in the air. As she did, Aloe caught her and Nene extended a finger towards the grenade, shooting a laser at it, causing a giant explosion of magic energy.

Purple flames flew from Towa's hands as she flew through the ranks, literally burning people's face off. She slammed the ground with both of her hands and several pillars of purple flames erupted throughout the battlefield, decimating tanks and aircrafts alike.

Rushia and Rushimama were surrounded by skulls which burned anyone it touched. As more people fell to the two necromancers, their souls took form as more skulls to take out more soldiers.

Roboco flew the battlefield, her feet replaced by rocket boosters. She shot lasers from her hands, causing several explosions to erupt from enemy ranks.

Coco and Kanata stood back-to-back, Kanata throwing vehicles around and smashing anyone in her way as Coco stepped on anyone who dared approached, spewing fire at any aircraft that was foolish enough to get close enough to her.

As a MILF soldier pointed a gun at Ryan, he was suddenly beheaded. When the body fell, Ayame revealed herself. "Yo dayo!"

"Thanks for the save, Nakiri-san," the two stood back-to-back before launching themselves in alternate directions.

Kurokami and Sabrina fought side by side, black and orange flames intertwining as they synergized their attacks with surprising effectiveness. Every so often, Fubuki would take over, the black flames turning white.

Choco flew through the battlefield shooting hot pink lasers at the MILF soldiers. Any soldier that was hit by the laser would immediately turn on each other and start attacking each other.

Okayu and Korone shredded though their opponents, each being cut to ribbons as the mere contact of their claws.

Suisei spun her axe above her head, creating a tornado of blades that cut up anyone that was anywhere near her. She laughed maniacally as body parts rained down.

'Glad I didn't piss her off,' Ryan thought to himself as the Shubagelion shot a giant laser from its mouth.

"SHUBA!" The Shubagelion ascended before flying off, a giant laser sword in its hand. It waved its sword, cutting a tank clean in half, causing it to explode.

"How are you doing, Ryan?" Amelia asked as she hopped over a few MILF soldiers, shooting them with pistols. When she landed, an assault rifle immediately found itself in her hand. She fired a few shots before she let go of it, causing it to disappear. She flipped over a MILF soldier, blasting him in the head with a shotgun in one hand. When she landed, she pointed a sub-machine gun at her enemies with her free hand, unloading on the crowd.

"I'm doing fine," Ryan swing one of his swords, creating a black blade of energy which sliced its way through dozens of soldiers.

At that moment, Kiara blazed through with wings of fire, slicing any soldier she passed. "Hey, Tenchou," Ryan said as Kiara landed next to him. They stood back-to-back.

"You've gotten strong, Ryan," Kiara said, smiling. "Remember, you promised to tell me what's up after this."

"Assuming we survive," Ryan said as he cut up another MILF soldier.

"We will," Kiara said before diving off.

Ryan sighed. "Let's get this over with, then."

Gura's giant shark dived, drowning any soldier in its wake. Gura then surfed on top of the shark, pulling up her hood. She then dived down, her face turning into a shark's jaw, biting down on a MILF soldier. "Not as good as Ryan's doughnuts," she joked as the jaw receded.

"My wife is so badass," Amelia sighed before grabbing her Ground Pounder and shooting it at the floor, sending her flying towards Gura.

Shion flew through the ranks, grabbing and throwing people with her giant fists as Aqua stood behind her, dousing her enemies with scalding water.

"Ha! That's 50 for me!" Aqua shouted.

"Are you kidding me, Baqua?! That was 49!" Shion shouted back.

Ryan then saw Shade casually wading through the ranks of MILF soldiers. Every time he waved his hand, there was a storm of electricity, a literal earthquake, a tornado, or something of that magnitude. Storm then dashed passed Ryan, kris in hand. Every time he moved his weapon, a trail of darkness flowed through it, creating a beautiful piece of art as he cleaved through his enemies with practiced ease.

"Ryan, watch out!" He heard Brianna's voice. He turned, but it was too late. A tank shell landed in front of him, the explosion launching him back. He groaned as he hit the floor. As he stood up, he saw a giant laser cannon charging.

"Holy shit! Where did they get one of those?!" Ryan dashed out of the way, but when the laser fired, he realized that he wouldn't be able to make it. Suddenly, he felt a sudden push on his back, let him safely sail past the laser. He turned as the laser subsided, leaving only a pile of ashes and a familiar, orange hat in its wake.

"Tenchou…" Ryan fell to his knees, realizing what happened. Kiara had pushed him out of the way, sacrificing herself in the process. The sounds dulled around him as he stared at the pile of ash, tears falling from his face. Slowly, his face contorted with rage. He stood up, his magic power rising as he faced the army. Unfortunately, he wouldn't go far. As soon as he took a step, a shot was fired, hitting Ryan in the forehead. Ryan couldn't even process what happened when his world went black.
