"That was a close one." I said with a sigh. A smile on my face. Around us was chaos plain and simple. Then a large amount of explosions happened. Along the outskirts it blew the air like a small gust. "There should have been more." Charles said.
"What do you mean?" I asked. Charles seemed irritated. But why?
"Hell Hound, you are under arrest." A bunch of Second Division Hunters pointed their weapons at Charles.
"Phantom Cloak." Charles said. As we were cloaked. They all looked confused.
"Where did he go?" One of them asked. As suddenly Charles ducted under a sword slash. Charles jumped out of the way.
"He got out of my field, he is now gone." The hunter that sliced at us said. As Charles started to walk off somewhere.
"Was that the infamous Hell Hound the cause of this." One of the hunters asked.
"No, it's probably the House of Evolution. Hell Hound may be a criminal but he has honor and integrity and he saves those who we are unwilling." The one who almost cut us said.
"You mean those damn Demi's." One of the hunters sneered.
"Maybe?" Charles said with a smile under his mask.
"I want a commander. A queen able to create an army." Charles raved like a lunatic.
"Noble Phantasm: Egg." Charles said. As Starlight started to condense like a star in the sky. It started to grow. It grew bigger and brighter. It seemed to glow with angelic might.
"What is happening?" A hunter asked.
"Over there it's Hellhound!" A second hunter said.
"What that white orb!" A third hunter said. Charles let out a sigh.
"You're under arrest." The first hunter said. Once more the orb grows again.
"Phantom Bullet." Charles said. As then the second hunter's head popped like a water balloon.
"What happened?" The third hunter questioned fear in his voice. Once again the orb glows even brighter. The shell started to harden.
"We have to stop that thing." The first hunter said.
"Phantom Hand." Charles said as both of them fell to their knees. Once the light glowed at the brightest. The shell seemed to have a small crack.
"What are you doing?" First Hunter asked.
"You'll pay for this!" Second Hunter promised. Charles let out a scoff.
"Sure I will." Charles said. As the shell started to crack even more. Then with a burst of massive light making me close my eyes. As I opened them again. Seeing a creature covered in thick chitin similar plate armor. Any place not covered by the chitin is leathery skin. Six spider eyes glowed and round like plates. Two dragon-like wings on its back. Six legs similar to a spider. A long flat armor tail.
"Hello All-Mother." Charles said as All-Mother nodded.
"Go to the northern fringe and conquer it." Charles said I could hear a smile in his lip.
"Why did you do that?" I asked Charles.
"Why not?" Charles asked.
"What do you mean?" I was even more confused.
"Either it will be killed or it will live a natural course of life. I also learn the extent of my Phantoms." Charles said as he looked at the two hunters that were left.
"Phantom Cloak." Charles said as we disappeared from the eyes of the two hunters.
"To learn the extent of your power you created something. Master Deadman may I say that you're like Clayman." Pyro said. He was sitting on a bunch of rubble.
"Why?" Charles asked. Decloaking himself.
"You two are like brothers." Pyro said bells jingling in the wind.
"Whatever your crazed rambling is about." Charles said, starting to walk away. Charles walks around. Killing quite a few Chaos Beast where he sees them.
"Hey!" Weapon Bulwark said coming up to Charles.
"What do you need?" Charles asked. Weapon eyes glared only a fraction of an inch.
"What with that glare." Charles asked. As Weapon shakes his head.
"Nothing." Weapon said with a smile. Putting his hand on Charles shoulder.
"Okay it seems that House of Evolution is doing a terror attack." Charles said.
"So you think Hell Hound is involved." Weapon asked. But it came out more like an order. Charles shakes his head.
"I doubt it." Charles said.
"Why?" Weapon asked.
"It just does not sound like him." Charles said with a smile.
"Okay you know him personally?" Weapon asked. As we hear a chorus of howls. There seems to be several Chaos Beasts. They looked like wolves with thick fur. Static electricity crackled around them.
"You take one, I will take six of them." Weapon said.
"Phantom Bullet." Charles pulled the trigger. As a small wound appeared on the one Charles was fighting. It let out a howl. Electricity cracked and rushed at us. Charles jumped out of the way. Weapon seemed to be unphased. A smile was on his old lip. The one we shot leaped after us.
"Bye I will take this one on." Charles said.
"These are B-rank Chaos Beasts known as Fulgurite Hounds." Weapon called out.
"Thanks!" Charles said as he landed on the ground. Rushing away. Hound hot at his heel. I started to fly behind Charles. I almost got bit by the hound. As Charles stopped.
"Phantom Hand." Charles said as the Fulgurite hound. But it quickly broke through. Its body then suddenly crackled and glowed with electricity. Its teeth turned a blue color.
"Second Fang: Lurking Fang." Charles said as he appeared behind the Hound. Slashing it back. Electricity cracked through Charles. He pushes it back, landing with grace. Some sparks seemed to be jumping on Charles. He was smiling.
"Phantom Hand." Charles said as the Fulgurite Hound seemed to be pushed down by an invisible force. Electricity charged around the hound seemed to spike as it let out growl. Electricity seemed to be covering it. It charged much faster than before. It bites down on Charles' shoulder. Shock seemed to fill Charles' body. Charles stabbed the hound in the shoulder.
"You okay?" I asked.
"I will be fine." Charles spoke. Static cracked around him. The hound seemed to be a decent amount away.
"Starlight: Heal." Charles said. As the wound seemed to vanish. It seems the static remained.
"Noble Phantasm." Charles said as three blobs of transparent formed into wolves. Charles shot Bala at the hound. Its fur seemed to sharpen and stand at on end. It sounds like popcorn being made.
"Phantom Bullet." Charles said. The hound dodged the attack. One phantom charge at the hound then exploded; it seemed to not phase the Fulgurite Hound. It howled electric surged through the floor. Charles jumped back as the other two Phantoms exploded.
"Starlight: Hydra Twister." Charles said. As he launched four twisters that took the form of a serpent. It hit the Fulgurite Hound. Seeing that it was bloody and beaten. Charles became pale but he still looked ready to fight. His smile was still there.
"I should not spam my abilities but I want to win." Charles said with a crazy laugh. The Fulgurite Hound seemed to get up reading for round two.
"Looks like you need help, kid." Weapon said he was covered in a fresh coat of blood.
"What of the other Fulgurite Hounds?" Charles asked weakly. Weapon smashed the head into the ground and sprayed the area with brains and blood.
"These things have the advantage as they absorb some of the Chaos energy used on them, turning it into electricity." Weapon said with a smile.
"I get it." Charles said with a smile.
"There are always bigger fish." Weapon said as he picked up Charles.
"I can walk." Charles said. Standing up slowly. His face gained a little bit of color.
"Looks like stage one Ability Burn out." Weapon said. With a nod.
"Ability Burn out has five stages. Stage one is when your skin turns pale. Stage two, is blood ruining out of your noise. Stage three is where things could get fatal: blood runs out noise, mouth and eyes. Stage four your veins turn black and eyes become blood shot. Leaving a close to death. Stage five is death." Weapon explains.
"Damn, are there other forms?" Charles asked as Weapon shook his head.
"Yes." Weapon spoke.
"Then you should not worry about me." Charles said, trying to reassure the Weapon.
