Chapter 13 - Chapter Thirteen: The Triple Caves’ Quake and the Metal Emergence

​Yonsharin turned to the gang member who was standing on the left side, who himself had taken an offensive combat stance where one of his legs was retracted behind him and the other forward with the body leaning slightly; Yonsharin continued looking at him. [ Yonsharin ]: "Now, which of you is next? Is it you on the left side, or this one behind me on the right side? Or are you two planning to coordinate a unified attack to die together?" ​A wide grin appeared on the face of the left gang member. [ Gang Member ]: "Your last words are correct; each of us will pull you by your hands until we split you into two halves, and your entrails will come out screaming from your body." [ Yonsharin ]: "Ahhhh, he showed his teeth laughing, so he is not a user of technical energy." ​Yonsharin looked to the right side where the other gang member was standing; the latter had also shown a smile and was not taking any combat stance, but instead just stood firmly. [ Yonsharin ]: "And this one is also happy, which means he doesn't possess technical energy as well, meaning I won't get tired with them." ​In this majestic atmosphere, the three of them began preparing to eliminate the other, so much so that the coral reefs, grasses, and plants distributed in the place were being moved faster by the water, as if the water itself was waiting for the start of the triple clash. Moments passed, and after each one of these three sent sharp, piercing looks to one another, the left gang member dashed with lightning speed, the wide grin still stuck to his face, while the right gang member dashed with the same speed with his wicked smile. Each of them grabbed Yonsharin's arm and both began pulling strongly from each side of her, trying to split her in two. As for Yonsharin herself, she was steady without a reaction, looking at both sides coldly until she returned her gaze to the front. She closed her eyes calmly, lifted the left gang member high—who was pulling her half by tugging her arm—then struck the other gang member using the gang member she had lifted, using him as a hammer to drive a nail, leaving from her strike on them a hole in the ground of shallow depth with the appearance of sand that moved because of the hole and thick bubbles. ​After Yonsharin did this, she jumped and stepped on their heads, so the two heads sank further into the ground. Then she grabbed a leg of each of them until she began striking the ground with them; one gang member being struck against the ground on the right side and the other on the left side. During each strike, blood came out of their faces due to the continuous friction with the ground. Then she spun with them in a circular motion, forming a water ring moving rapidly, and threw them far away into the depths of the sea, with a water line of bubbles tracing their throw. ​Yonsharin watched the scene of the two gang members moving away and dusted off her hands with closed eyes, then turned to the turtle brothers, and they stared intensely at each other. Rintoydi placed his hands on his waist while closing both of his eyes. [ Rintoydi ]: "So, you finished them off with such simplicity and speed? They are truly four failed, weak, and stupid workers as well. I was wrong when I brought them with me." [ Rintoydi ]: "Now, since you have gotten rid of my four workers—and this is unfortunately due to their weakness—it seems there is no choice but to deal with you myself, you chicken." ​Rintoydi made his body lean slightly backward while keeping his head in place, and extended his hand in front of Yonsharin as if his hand was trying to take the shape of a rifle. As for Yonsharin herself, she pulled out her cutting star with one hand, and its metal was gleaming as she moved forward until her owner stopped it while it was pointed towards Rintoydi, until Yonsharin decided to break her silence. [ Yonsharin ]: "All your words are exactly in place, and as in the law of the forests that are currently submerged: survival is for the strongest." ​The star gleamed after the last thing its owner said, as if declaring its desire to wound and cut the enemy's skin. The turtle Djintoyda looked at them with a wicked smile, with the female gang members behind her. [ Djintoyda ]: "Hehe, come on, my little brother. You and your other sibling must finish your work as quickly as possible before the bomb finishes shattering our caves entirely, because after it finishes with them, it will start blowing up the geography of this region. This bomb is not a triple explosion, but a quadruple explosion; meaning it won't rest until it completes its full four explosions, and we must leave before we get lost here. Let's go." ​After Djintoyda finished her speech, Rintoydi dashed with rocket speed toward Yonsharin, and the latter dashed as well. The two collided, and Yonsharin was about to cut his neck with her star until he prevented it from reaching his neck; he gripped the sharp side of the star but without any blood appearing, as it seemed to his hand that he was holding a non-sharp weapon. ​Upon his gripping of the star, Yonsharin raised her leg to launch it toward his stomach, but he was also able to stop her kick with his hand. Then he, in turn, aimed his leg and kicked her away from him, so Yonsharin was thrown after she was kicked and fell on the ground. Rintoydi looked at her while she had fallen with sharp gazes, and her cutting star was in his hand, as it was pulled when the kick was delivered to its owner. Rintoydi looked at the star as it radiated brilliance. [ Rintoydi ]: "A beautiful weapon, but I will leave you to rot here, for you are not mine." ​He threw the cutting star behind him, and from the weight of the star, it reached the ground in a moment. Upon touching the ground, some sand appeared rising a small distance upward until the sand covered part of the star's surface. The sea was an umbrella, but some leaking moonlight gave it some illumination. ​During these events, both Yoriki clones had arrived after returning from the submarine. When they stopped running, they began panting from the effort of the run until they stopped to catch their breath. One of them looked at what was happening between Yonsharin and Rintoydi, and the other was staring at Djintoyda and the female gang members. One of them noticed the presence of the two Yoriki clones and touched her mistress Djintoyda's shoulder. [ Female Gang Member ]: "Look, mistress, to your right side; the little child has returned with another clone of himself with him... Wait, is this Yoriki, the little man you told me about?" ​Djintoyda looked to her right side then turned her entire body in that direction. [ Djintoyda ]: "Yes, it is he indeed." ​The female gang member's eyes narrowed in wonder at the words. [ Female Gang Member ]: "But how will his return here be useful? His body is small, which indicates his physical weakness. Tell me, what will he do other than cause disabilities for his group?" ​Djintoyda closed her eyelids and exhaled some air which led to the displacement of the water in front of her mouth and the appearance of bubbles, declaring her sigh. [ Djintoyda ]: "Aaah, you fool, you are new and know nothing. You should know that the one whose small appearance deceived you is capable of turning your bones into powder." ​The female gang member stared intently at Yoriki, and he likewise continued looking at them with his piercing eyes. [ Female Gang Member ]: "Aaah, so that's how it is. Truly, one should not judge a book by its cover." ​The female gang member returned her gaze to Djintoyda. [ Female Gang Member ]: "So mistress, both Mr. Rintoydi and Mr. Hintoydi are occupied physically and only we remain. What do you think about preceding them and going until they finish with the rooster and the chicken? Or are you waiting for someone to exit from your establishment, which is this middle cave?" ​Djintoyda looked with her left eye at the female gang member, then closed them, letting out a light laugh from which wickedness emerged. [ Djintoyda ]: "Heh, and who will be able to get out after all the explosions happening inside? Even if the sailors inside remained—since their bodies can withstand the effects of the explosions—they won't be able to escape outside my cave. Surely they have fallen to the ground, and the charred rubble is gnawing at their bodies currently." ​A few seconds after she finished her words, a leg suddenly appeared dashing toward Djintoyda's face, where the foot of that leg struck her on the face, leading to her being thrown for distances and stopping at a distance near the two Yoriki clones. Djintoyda placed her hand on her cheek, as the foot of that leg left a mark on her left cheek, and she adjusted her stance after she had leaned due to being thrown for distances. ​Both of Djintoyda's eyes widened, and some reddish veins appeared inside them staring forward, and her mouth widened, declaring her being struck by anger. In the direction I am looking, the female gang members turned behind them, and with their features showing astonishment in its highest degrees, until the leg that distanced their mistress from them is revealed next to the other leg in gray pants and long black boots, going up to the body that was covered by a long black coat with long, wide sleeves with two large metallic hands, reaching up to hair with a gray braid interspersed with white moved by the water, and thus Oshnirai's face becomes clear with her sharp gazes shown by the eyes and covered by her circular glasses. Oshnirai raised her right palm enveloped in metal and did the same with her other hand, forming a metallic fist and making it strike her right palm. ​Oshnirai stared to where Djintoyda stood with challenging gazes. [ Oshnirai ] (Screaming): "Finally, we will face each other again, you turtle, you who thinks that some explosions will hinder us! And know that this is the last time you will see me today, your chain of crimes along with your two brothers and your insects." [ Oshnirai ] (Screaming): "Prepare for your end!" ​Djintoyda moved her hand away from her cheek, and her mouth's widening shrunk until the veins that appeared inside her eyes disappeared, until the features of anger were replaced by cold features, and a green aura appeared that lasted only a few seconds. [ Djintoyda ] (Screaming): "No, the level of the explosions won't stop at the caves only, but is capable of destroying this entire region! So, your ability to get out of these caves doesn't mean you have escaped the danger; the explosion that happened inside will be followed by a larger one on this land, meaning all of you will turn into pieces, and that with the press of a button! A single button press is enough to erase you and rid us of you." ​Oshnirai moved her fist away from her palm, then made the palm a fist and pointed it towards Djintoyda, who was distanced from her by a distance of meters. Oshnirai was not alone in the place; the frog Chyohana appeared near her, and the clothes of each of them had a damaged part on each side with some black ash, affected by the explosions they had come out of. As for the real Yoriki, he was behind them along with Enyojo and the rest of the kidnapped people with clothes with damaged ends soiled with black ash. The group of kidnapped people stood in crowds, separated from the middle cave exit by only a few meters. The cave exit was emitting quantities of smoke rising high until the smoke exiting from the three caves together gathered, causing the water of the region to turn gray under the shaking of the ground with its coral and grasses from the intensity of the explosions; in an atmosphere charged by both the gray smoke, the fight going on between Yonsharin and Rintoydi, and the confrontation occurring between Gwankai and Hintoydi.
