Winter: Planning; That Which; Turned Into; Action And; Fighting PT. 3/8
"FOR LOVE MASTER EROS!" My newfound compatriots roared out, rushing what was once their allies with newfound strength.
"Damnit you guys, get ahold of yourselves!" One of the guards yelled out, and I chuckled, letting out sparkles all around me as I spread open my arms.
"Now come to me, and let us all have the love and peace we deserve!"
"Eros, just a warning, they're gonna send drones and robots your way," Lachesis said, and I flicked my hair back, a broad grin on my face.
"That shall be no issue! After all, all things have a heart, whether it's beating proudly in their chest or made of cold hard steel, a heart," I exclaimed, pointing towards the newfound enemies of drones and other mechanically powered opposition, "IS A HEART!"
"Lover's Embrace!"
A barrage of sparkles darted through the air, and each time they hit one of the mechanical guards, they opened their own hearts to me…
"Be it flesh and blood or wire and steel, none is able to resist the absolute power of love!"
My lost sheep let out a roar so loud it shook the very walls itself, and we continued on our way, our army of flesh and steel growing steadily larger the more guards we faced. Even so…
"An army this size is not yet sufficient," I murmured, my ranks growing to a number of at least 1000. "For my King, I will need much, much more to save him."
"Love Master Eros, we have reached a door that is not open! What will you have us do?"
I looked towards the door that would lead us to Layer Pentagon, smiling at my subordinates.
"I will take care of it~!" I said, leaping off the ones carrying me before rushing towards the door.
"Passion's Rush!"
I barreled through the door, blowing the set of double doors flying into the opposing wall before stopping, turning back to my comrades.
"Let us move onward!" I yelled out, and the rush of my lost sheep followed after me, and it was only then that I noticed the gift dear Eru had left us.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh wow, he really went all out here!" I exclaimed, looking over the massive amounts of damage he had caused.
Inside Layer Pentagon, all the enemies had been defeated, lying unconscious on the ground, over the rafters in the ceiling, some even getting stuck within the walls around us. The bright white lights that lit up the entire building without fail were also flickering constantly, leaving a mist of darkness around us.
Nyx walked up next to me, frowning.
"Night Rend."
The heavy mist around us vanished, and Nyx sighed, her white eyes turning a light grey at her words.
"Ugh, he's really going all out with this. Well, at least the way forward is clear."
I gave her one of my merry grins, lighting up the place around me. "Oh, look at you! You looked on the bright side of things for once!"
She scowled before rolling her eyes. "Whatever, the more energy we save the better right? We've been here for damn near two hours already you know."
"Yeah, and it's been so fun this entire time!" I yelled out, the lights now permanently back on before I walked forward, apologizing to the unconscious bodies I was walking over.
"Sorry about that! Erebus get's so serious when he fights, it's really funny considering how he normally acts!" I yelled out, bowing down to all the groaning bodies in the vicinity.
I suddenly felt myself getting dragged away by the shirt, and I looked over at Nyx, who was sighing to herself. "No need to apologize to them Hemera; after all, they are the one's who kidnapped King after all."
"I know that! I can't help but feel a little bad for them though, since they keep getting their butts handed to them so easily."
"Sometimes, I worry about you, you know that?" Nyx muttered, and I let out a cheery grin.
"Really!? Then we're the same, since I always worry about you!" I finally stood back up before running ahead, slamming my gauntlets together.
"Don't you worry King; we'll be there in a jiffy!" I yelled out, taking the charge up once more.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I see, so that didn't work either then?" I grumbled to myself, messing up my short hair.
"Oi, I'm just getting pissed off by not doing anything. Let me have a go at them," Menoetius growled out, cracking his knuckles.
"Yeah, I'm tired of having my sculptures being torn down all the time," Epimetheus said, frowning as another boom took down his dirt sculptures.
I sighed, looking back at the soldier reporting. "Alright, what else did you have to say?"
"Right, all the guards in Layer Pentagon have been taken out by the one rushing through here!"
My brothers and I tensed up at his words, and I narrowed my eyes at the one reporting. "You're serious? One person took out all those guards by themselves?"
"Uh, yes sir."
Damn, if this group is that strong, no wonder they've been busting through our defenses so easily. Who could they possibly be, especially since there are only five of them here? I glanced at the key, his long hair covering his face. "Unless, could it be that there are more of them doing other things? And if we take into consideration that the key might be one, plus one giving orders, that just leaves seven…"
"But, I do have something that could help identify who they are," the soldier reporting offered, and I waved my hand at him to continue.
"They seem to all wear headgear."
My eyes widened at his words, and I quickly turned to the soldier, grabbing onto his collar. "You're not joking are you!? You're being absolutely serious right now!?"
"Promie, what's wrong?" I gritted my teeth before turning to our Father, who was still lamenting to himself.
"Father, allow us to handle them immediately."
His mutterings suddenly stopped, and he looked over at the three of us before a broad grin appeared on his face.
"WHAT EXCELLENCE!" He roared out, shooting to his feet. "Very well, this is what family does after all, take care of one another in times of great need! This counts as great need, would you not say so!?"
We all nodded, and he slammed his foot on the ground, causing the entire building to rumble.
"Now go my sons, and take care of the intruders! After all, nothing can bring family together like good entertainment and fighting!"
"Fucking finally!" Meno roared out before running ahead to one of the three exits in the room. "That damned prick who's been blowing through the damn walls needs to be taken out right now, and I'm the motherfucker who's gonna do it!"
"Oh, I can't wait for the fighting to stop! Then we can all have a nice family gathering, with all of us being friends at last!" Epi yelled out, also going out of one of three exits.
As for me. "I'll go see if I can find that damn bastard who keeps on disturbing the security system. I need to know if he's actually smart or not."
I started to walk towards the exit, bringing the soldier with me. Besides, if it's the group I think it is, then we might actually be in trouble…
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"YES!" I yelled out, pumping my arms in the air, the first part of the plan finally going well.
"What happened?" Aether asked, and I managed to compose myself before speaking.
"They split off from King guys, so you know the drill!"
"I see, it's about time~!"
"Aw hell yeah, let's do it Nyx!"
"Couldn't have said it better myself Hemera!"
"Then, I'll proceed with my part of the plan," Erebus responded, and I glanced back at the box, two more sets of headgear within the box.
"Yep, go ahead, and I'll tell you who'll be fighting who!" I turned back to the map, everyone except for Aether reaching Layer Square.
I closed my eyes shut, seeing the battlefield once more…
"You damn fucker, you've been rampaging fucking long enough. I think it's about time for you to die!"
"I don't have time for this bullshit, so get out Of MY WAY!"
A terrible boom echoed throughout the building, and I could only watch as Erebus barely avoided the blast, watching him drop his wooden katana.
"Why the hell am I always stuck dealing with weirdos. Well, I at least have a plan for you two."
"We gotta move yah big ball of sun-!"
"NYX!"
"Eh, who might you be? Oh, I know, a friend right? If you could please stop fighting so we can all be friends, that would be absolutely wonderful!"
"Oh my, it appears I can't move~. This is most definitely your doing, my-!"
I opened my eyes, frowning at the outcome. I glanced at the map once more, looking at everyone's relative positions again.
