Chapter 126 The Battle For Earth Part 1
"Only thirty only are in the group now!" Sofia called to Marley, Katie, and Victoria as they stood fifty feet apart, one hundred miles in from when the Villains would be first entering the forest.
"Why are the others waiting back??" Katie asked as she reached up and summoned a ten-foot-long giant rapier into the hand of her Mega-Me Clone.
"Not sure, but they aren\'t the only ones. There seems to be about twenty percent that had just stopped and basically sat down from what I can see. I really can\'t see any reason why they would all stop like this," Sofia said over her screen that was displayed in the girl\'s view.
"There could be a chance that some of them have decided to sit out from the fight, but it is hard to say. All we know is that we have fewer people to fight," Gaia explained from another screen but then frowned. "They are in the forest, and I have captured all their AI… Ten of them are dead after stepping on the grass without taking their shoes off."
"Make sure to kick them out if they don\'t bring gifts!" Katie laughed.
"Seven more were slapped down by trees and eaten by the grass. They are terribly rude people, but they are also very weak. Two more were just killed from the acid rocks, and three Orcs just took another one down. Eleven are coming your way right now. Lots of swords and a mechanical robot that I can\'t seem to take down."
The three girls could see the falling trees coming up ahead, and they were all prepared.
"Spread out! I will take the mech; you girls deal with the smaller ones!" Marley roared from her Mega-Me mouth, and the other two girls nodded as the trees fell before her.
"Ho! Look at this! The size of this green woman? She is bigger than me!" Laughed the white twenty-foot-tall mechanized swordsman.
The mech was wearing what looked like full plate armors, and he was wielding two long swords. Marley reached to the side, and a single blue glass Katana pushed hilt first out of her palm.
This was the same one that Firaga had created, Oceans Tempest, and Marley used her other hand to pull out the long glass blade.
"You are going to need more than one sword to be me, honey! Why don\'t you tell me your name? I can tell you mine, so you know who to call out after!" The mech laughed, but Marley was already lifting her sword to point at the laughed white mecha-knight.
"No one will ever remember your name since you chose the wrong side," Marley growled and then stepped forward while pulling her sword back. "Piercing Pressure of Depths!"
The Mecha-Knight blocked the strike, but both his sword broke, and he stumbled back, clenching at his chest where the tip of Oceans Tempest had pierced his robotic chest.
"What did you… Argh!!" The mech roared, and his chest and body started to collapse into a single point until his body turned silver.
"First one is down!" Marley called.
"Head East now, but you are to stay within two hundred miles of Central City," Sofia ordered, and Marley turned and started running without question.
Katie was surrounded by five men to the east, but they kept their distance. None of them wanted to get close to the giant woman, so they decided to hurl lewd and suggestive comments instead.
"She is so big, but man, is she cute! The Hero must really have it made fucking a new girl every day!" One man shouted up at Katie, who was only twenty-five feet tall in her Mega-Me.
"I bet if we hold her down, we can crawl up inside of her!" another shouted as he dodged an arm that grew from one of the trees.
"She is a wooden clone! Didn\'t you hear from the General before he turned tail? We have to get rid of this one, and then we can go find the real one!" A man flying on a sword said who also had a long thin mustache.
"You know, I am getting really tired of listening to you all," Katie growled, and then goblins jumped out from everywhere, carrying every manor of weapon that you can think of.
The five men screamed as they were mobbed by hundreds of goblins that bit, scratched, and tore the Villains apart. Katie almost felt bad for them, but then she remembered the vile comments and suggestions they were making as the screams stopped.
"This group is down," Katie said with a sigh, looking at the silver bodies that were being pulled into the ground as the goblins climbed off them.
"Are you doing okay? You sound like it was not a good experience, but I can understand why," Sofia said, and Katie nodded her big head.
"I have never killed anyone before, and even though I didn\'t directly do it, I still feel sick like I am going to throw up," Katie said, and Sofia sighed.
"I understand. Come back; for now, you can still control your traps remotely," Sofia explained, and Katie nodded.
"Sorry, I know that we need everyone right now," Katie said as she turned back to Central City.
"No, don\'t be sorry because killing people makes you sick. You shouldn\'t have to get used to anything like this, and Daniel wouldn\'t want you to. You can still help from here; just hurry back here," Sofia explained, and Katie picked up her pace.
To the west, Victoria was fighting off her five attackers, but most of them were using different types of ranged attacks. They kept her out of her range but did very little damage to her.
"Why did Daniel give all the other girls special powers?!" Victoria screamed as she chased after floating with a book that was firing green bolts of light that bounced off her.
"Big scary lady is chasing me! You guys want to help me out?!" The floating mage yelled, and another Villain surged up from the side with a fiery sword strike.
"You all have powers, but I didn\'t get anything!" Victoria screamed, swinging her arms out to the side, and accidentally hit the swordsman, smashing him into a tree that absorbed him as he screamed.
"Take this!" A man screamed from a cloud he was floating on to Victoria\'s right.
The man started to charge up an energy attack, but Victoria turned and snatched the man out of the air. She pulled him up to her face and started to scream at him.
"I kissed him! I told him that I liked him! And he still doesn\'t give me the same attention he gives the other girls!" Victoria screamed at the confused man and then hucked him into a tree.
The man didn\'t even make a noise as the tree consumed him with the shock that he was in. Victoria turned back to the other floating mage and narrowed her eyes.
"What does your power do?" Victoria asked, and the man turned to fly away, but Victoria was in a bad mood.
She jumped forward and snatched the man out of the air before he could get away. One of the out Villains started to attack her feet with a massive pair of axes, but Victoria stepped on him, pulling the mage up to her face.
"I am going to ask you one more time. What is your power? You can tell me, or I can find out from Firaga after," Victoria growled, but the man smirked in his hand as he started to glow.
"Ha! If I am going to die, then I am going to take you-"
The Villain stopped speaking as Victoria tightened her grip, killing the man instantly. The glow faded to leave his body the shiny silver of systeminium.
The last Villain jumped on Victoria\'s arm and started to run at her face, but Victoria crushed the man like a mosquito. The Silver body fell to the ground with a thud as Victoria turned back to Central City.
"Sofia, I am done here, but I am bringing back one of the Villains. They have the System that I want, so tell Firaga to get ready!" Victoria growled.
"Good. Firaga will be waiting for you at your body, so just head to the southwest edge of South City. After that, you are going to need to stay in that area. The trees are going to be doing most of the work, along with all of Katie\'s traps. I also have some new projects that I have been working on, but they are set on the edges of the city. Remember, once your clones are down, you have to stay within the city limits," Sofia explained, and Victoria nodded.
"Yes, I get it. I just want Daniel to get back here so I can kick him between the legs for ignoring me! I am going to get myself a System that is even better than his!" Victoria declared as she started to head north from where she was.
