Chapter 56: Cerberus vs Biker Gang

They all gathered at the front of the store, next to shelves on either side of the entrance.. The shelf gave them cover so they could not be seen from the outside. On the left side stood Rei, Saya, Jasmine, and Lois, while James, Saeko, and Shizuka positioned themselves on the right.

"Those were the sounds of motorbikes," Rei remarked, her voice low.

"Yes, they were," Saeko confirmed.

James peered around the corner. He saw a group of people wearing helmets, black leather jackets, and denim jeans. Their motorcycles, which looked like Harley Davidsons, stood in a row. James noted that each member of the group was armed with machetes, and two of them brandished pistols. The biker gang looked at their Humvee parked.

"These are the same people who threatened us yesterday," Saya stated. She looked angry.

"They were mean," Shizuka added. 

"It looks like they are watching our Humvee," James replied.

"They might want to take it," Rei interjected. 

"They seem to be even more heavily armed than before," Lois observed. She saw one of the men with a bandage. She thought back when she had shot him. 

"James, what are we going to do?" Jasmine asked. 

"I will take them out," James stated. He added, "They said some horrible things to you all. Something that will not go unpunished." 

The girls all kept silent and nodded. "I will help," Saeko said, holding Slasher in her hands. 

James smiled. "I know you could do it by yourself but I want to do this," James replied. 

James opened the faceplate. He saw the silhouette of a three headed dog. It had two large ears. A single body and a tail. He got up and walked towards the siding doors. The door opened. "Listen you idiots, you said some horrible things to my girls," James said. 

"Time to die," James added. 

"What is he talking about?" a biker asked. 

James slammed down the faceplate. His body was engulfed in a brilliant, pulsating light. The air crackled with energy. James' body distorted, his limbs elongated as he got onto all fours. In a surge of radiant energy, James` features reshape. His head morphed into that of a dog, and two additional heads sprouted alongside. Sharp canines gleamed in their jaws, while his ears pointed upward and his eyes glowed an intense green. The Ultimatrix symbol appeared on his chest, and a short tail emerged. Suddenly, flames burst forth from his neck. 

The biker gang watched in stunned disbelief as the transformation unfolded before their eyes, revealing a three-headed dog standing before them.

"He just changed," one of them exclaimed, his voice tinged with disbelief.

"That's impossible," another muttered, his gaze fixed on the surreal spectacle before him.

"Those drugs must be really kicking in," another suggested. His eyes were red.

"It's just special effects," the fourth member said. 

While the biker gang stood there in shock, Rei, Saya, Saeko, and Shizuka watched with wide eyes as James underwent his transformation.

"So, he can transform," Rei observed.

"He's turned into something completely different," Saya remarked. He had changed into a lizard before.

"The dog from hell, Cerberus," Rei replied, her lips curling into a small smile.

"He's quite a cute puppy," Shizuka remarked, her voice tinged with excitement. "I wonder if I can pet him," she added eagerly.

"With three heads, we can all take turns," Jasmine chimed in. She added, "Just like Rajah, my pet tiger." 

Rei and Saya were trying to comprehend those statements. 

Saeko's smile widened as she watched the transformation unfold. "I made the right choice," she stated. She looked at Slasher and gently stroked it. 

"You certainly did," Lois agreed. She thought this was another new one. "And there are even more benefits to come," she added cryptically, looking at Rei and Saya.

Cerberus looked at the biker gang in front of him. He launched red fireballs from his three menacing mouths. Each projectile soared towards the biker gang. The fiery orbs collided with them, engulfing the bikers in flames as they screamed in agony. They dropped to the ground and tried to roll around however it was no use. The flames were getting stronger. Their bodies were consumed by the inferno.

"What the," a biker shouted in disbelief.

"Get him!" another biker barked. "The boss will like this," he added.

Two bikers came running up, Cerberus lifted his massive paw and slashed at them with a swift and powerful motion. They were knocked back into the air. They scream in pain as the force of the attack left deep, jagged marks on their bodies. They crashed back to the ground in a flurry of pain.

"It's a monster!" the biker exclaimed, his voice trembling with fear as he hastily drew his pistol.

"Shoot him!" another biker urged, his own weapon gripped tightly in his hand as they both took aim at Cerberus. They both fired at Cerberus. The bullets whizzed through the air. 

"James," Rei and Saya yelled. 

Cerberus saw this coming and dodged the bullet easily.

He then unleashed two more fireballs from his left and right mouths. The fiery projectiles streaked towards their targets, striking the men with guns. They both fell to the ground in pain. The smell of burning flesh filled the air. Their bodies were charred and smoking.

The remaining bikers exchanged frantic whispers as they looked in horror. A large dog from hell, just killed over half their gang. 

"We're no match for this thing," one biker yelled. 

"We need to get out of here before it's too late!" another added.

With fear and desperation driving them, the bikers got onto their bikes and attempted to flee. They turned the corner. Cerberus saw them try to escape and jumped over the wall. He started to chase them. 

"Wait James," Saya yelled. 

"I will go after him," Saeko said as she ran towards the wall and jumped over it gracefully. 

"Wow she can jump," Jasmine remarked.

"She is athletic," Shizuka added. 

At that moment several vehicles approached from the other side. "Saya?" one voice yelled. 

Saya looked to see a long, light purple hair woman who had her hair down. She had purple eyes and a large smile on her face. Her mouth was small and straight. She had a straight noise. She has a slender figure and long sexy legs. 

"Mum," Saya replied. 

Saya was about to go running off when Lois held her for a second. "Make sure we don't say anything until James is back," Lois said. 

Saya looked back and nodded. "Don't worry he will be back soon," Lois replied.

"I wanted to pet him," Shizuka said.
