Night 52: Rec Field

[tsunagari]

[from here]This was already further than Sai had gotten the past couple nights, which was saying something. It was getting over the wall that would be the real test, though. The actual act of scaling the brick would be simple, but the night had an odd way of ending before he'd gotten beyond that point. Hopefully the same wouldn't hold true this

Hmph! So those two punks were still going to make a run for it, even with just a small sample of plasma thrown at their feet! Either those two were really dumb or desperately wanting a good ass-kicking! Well, Sechs was certainly up to granting the second option there!

Bearing his teeth in a widening grin, Sechs watched the spiky-haired prisoner make a mad dash for the wall like a spooked deer. Did the two brats really think they could just split up and outrun a Panzer Kunst fighter in a Fizziroy body?! It was time to snap some sense into them! "Oh no you don't!" Sechs shouted.

There was a sound of robotic limbs shifting into action. Next, the shadowed shed shuddered as an immense weight suddenly propelled itself off its roof. The cyborg's darkened figure sailed by the moon, suspended in the night air for a few dizzying seconds, before he smashed into the ground. With a body far heavier and sturdier than an average human's (or most cyborgs his size for that matter), the android created a small crater beneath his boots. A split second after his landing, Sechs sent his Titan blade crashing into the earth, creating a jagged wall of dirt streaking across the field to block the dashing youth's path. Every action was executed with earth-shattering power; if the wall didn't hit Sechs' target, the impact of its creation would surely knock off his footing!

A ninja learned to move quickly, and under normal circumstances they could have cleared the field in a matter of moments. Here, their use of chakra to enhance their skills was severely limited. They were still quick, but this man/machine would be quicker. Still, somehow they had to get past him and move on.

The best case scenario would be getting him to blast a hole in the wall and save them the trouble of having to get over it, but he wasn't going to hold his breath for that kind of luck.

Sai pulled a sheet of paper from his pocket as her ran, still trying to keep careful tabs on Naruto. He'd have to stop to create the ink images, but they were probably his best chance. Luckily, he could create full images in a matter of a couple seconds. With the proper hand signs, he called forth a couple guardian lions to leap from the page and dash toward their assailant. They wouldn't be able to do any real damage, but hopefully it would be enough of a distraction to allow them a bit more distance.

Both cyborg and doll laughed at the sight of the prisoner stumbling and crashing to the ground. Poor kid even got grass stains on his stupid-looking pajamas! Speaking of which, these two needed to be put back in their place; even if that meant dragging them to bed all beaten up and unconscious!

Chuckling, Sechs raised an arm, his yellow eye locked onto his target as he scrambled back to his feet and continued his sprint towards the wall. One more second and the cyborg's arm would instantly extend into a long distance punch and disable his prey--

But at the very last moment, Sechs' miniature companion, who acted as an extra set of eyes and hands, alerted him to the arrival of some new challengers from behind. A pair of lion-like creatures had mysteriously appeared before the other prisoner, and within moments they made a vicious dash towards Sechs. Forgetting the blond for now, Sechs turned to face the creatures, his grin just as toothy as the ones bared by the charging lions. Well, wasn't this a pleasant surprise!

"Hey! You got some pets who want to play with me, huh?" Sechs chuckled with a glint of excitement in his eye, "Heh! I'm game!"

The attacking creatures didn't look totally solid or real, as though they had just been drawn by ink and then sprang to life! How did that prisoner with the black hair do that? It seemed these two prisoners weren't so hapless after all! And here Sechs worried that this battle would be as boring as stomping at a few confused ants on the ground! These creatures sure made things a bit more interesting! Although he doubted they were any match for him...

"C'mon kitties!" the cyborg teased, giving the snarling lions a warning swing of his blade, "I don't have all night!"

Move. Move move move they had to move now. Sai was immediately stashing the ink and brush back in his pocket and making a run for the wall. He was light headed after that use of chakra, and scaling the wall wasn't going to help things any, but it was the fastest method he had.

He hit the side and kept running up, chakra keeping his feet from sliding back down the side. He released the energy partway up, if only to conserve some for later, grabbing the top to pull himself up the rest of the way. Then he was leaning over the side with a hand out, ready to help Naruto do the same. This would have to take place in an instant, as those ink creatures wouldn't hold the man off for more than a few seconds.

Adrenaline coursed through him, urgency allowing him to ignore the weariness caused by the use of his techniques. If getting over the wall didn't cause them to shake this patient, then they were in trouble. He had to hope that the situation was similar to the one he'd been in before. Banking on that was risky, but there was little else they could do.

Meanwhile, the beastly android's focus was on the calligraphy-like creatures that paced around him. Smiling, Sechs simply stood his ground; his upper back slouched into a predatory posture while his eye glowed behind his wild hair. Suddenly, one of the lions swiped an inky paw at the Replica, but what happened next was nothing but a violent blur.

"RAH!!" Sechs' blade swung through the air with the velocity of a lightning strike, its teeth chopped and sliced through the lions at dozens of angles within a matter of seconds. The lions didn't even have a chance to touch their target or even flinch; their ethereal forms instantly fell apart and evaporated into the cool air. All that was left was a circle of scars dug into the earth with the blade-wielding Replica standing in the center.

Once the dust had cleared, Sechs shook his messy head with an arrogant smirk. It was a shame that the kid's pets barely lasted for a decent fight. "HAH! Is that all you got kid?!" he crowed, stepping out of the small circle of destruction as both he and the doll perched on his shoulder glared around for the trespassing patients. If that was the best they could throw at him, then it was time they got out of his face and made room for a more worthy adversary...

Yet the patient who summoned the creatures was gone, even the one with the spiky hair wasn't to be seen. It was only when a tap on the shoulder from the robot doll did Sechs turn towards the far end of the field to spot the two youth scrambling over the wall!

"HEY!!" Sechs roared, his mean-spirited grin now an enraged frown, "YOU DAMN LITTLE CHICKEN SHITS!!" he shouted again, bringing forth another ball of plasma into his fist, he wasn't going to let them get away unscathed! "GET YOUR COWARD ASSES BACK HERE OR I'LL BURN 'EM RIGHT OFF!"

The infuriated android threw his arm forward, sending clusters of silver spheres of flaming plasma streaking towards the towering wall. The molten projectiles screamed through the air before exploding near their targets, creating blinding flashes and droplets of flames to rain down to the earth. Some whistled right over the two escaping patient's heads, while others crashed into the wall just below them, leaving scorched holes in their wake. Yet to the Replica's growing rage, the plasma balls just barely missed the prisoners...
