Queens Squad vs Ghoul

"Wait…now why isn't this working?!" Austin cries. "Could it be…that he's switching his Cursed Ability on and off in less than a second, predicting which type of bullet's coming when?!"

"I've already gotten used to your rhythm, Pro Slayer!" Red roars. Red then charges Austin again, tanking each one of Austin's bullets without effect or failure. Once he's close enough to Austin, Red lands an uppercut to his chin, sending Austin's head violently snapping upwards, and falling to the ground. Red then lifts up his knee and prepares to stomp on Austin's head, but Austin rolls out of the way in time.

"If using both weak and strong attacks at the same time won't work, then I'll just have to try plan B!" Austin exclaims as he pops back up to his feet.

If you recall, Austin always keeps his left arm completely wrapped up in white bandages, from his shoulder all the way down to the tips of his fingers. No one has ever seen Austin's left arm not wrapped up, no one except Jamie, when the two were younger. Until now.

Austin lifts his left arm up as a small orange glow begins to shine from behind his bandages. "What the…what's that?!" Red cries. In a blast of orange, Austin's bandages explode off of his arm, revealing his left arm…which is fully mechanical, every last bit of it. Austin's entire left arm is a dark silver prosthetic, glowing with orange energy, with multiple wires and gears and knobs stuck into it.

"My greatest invention!" Austin exclaims. "I don't like revealing my left arm, it's… a scar that still hurts, even today. But now…it looks like I'll need it to beat you!" Austin then crouches down low, aiming his right arm at Red and chambering his mechanical left arm, which begins further bursting with Cursed Power. "Cursed Power Barrier… normally, I don't need it, only for defense, but with my mechanical arm, Cursed Power Barrier makes it a deadly weapon…" Austin mutters to himself. "Gunsmith: Gadgets and Gizmos!" Austin shouts, and when he says that, steam begins bursting from the joints of his mechanical arm, as the gears and steel and wires of his arm begin to expand outwards and reconfigure themselves into a giant, metal arm, Austin's bright orange Cursed Power filling in the gaps.

"A powerful attack won't work on me, you know, not with my Reversal!" Red snaps.

"Unless I hit you with an attack so powerful that it overwhelms your Reversal!" Austin smirks. "I've done the calculations, and it should work!"

"Do you want to test that, Pro Slayer!" Red roars. And with that, Austin charges. Red brings his arms up in defense which begin crackling with red Cursed Power signaling the activation of his Reversal.

"Jamie…as the only one who stood by me all these years, as the only one who didn't torment me for losing my arm…this is for you…" Austin whispers. And then, one Austin is in front of Red, he launches his mechanical fist forwards.

"GUNSMITH: TECHNO-IRON GAUNTLET!"

With a roar, Austin slams his fist into Red's arms, in an explosion of orange Cursed Power.

"This isn't my style…BUT IF IT'S TO WIN, SO BE IT!" Austin roars.

Red grits his teeth as he struggles against Austin's attack, which slowly pushes him backwards. "You won't win, Pro Slayer!" He roars back. But then, in another explosion of orange, Red is sent flying backwards, his back slamming into the wall of Hell's Bar and breaking right through it. Red's limp body lays in a pile of rubble of Hell's Bar's wall, defeated.

"It…really worked…" Austin pants. Ausin then reaches down, grabbing his charred up bandages and attempts to wrap them around his mechanical arm, sighing when it doesn't work. "I really don't want the others asking about this…" Austin grumbles to himself.

"I'm so tired of having to buy new glasses every time I fight…"

***

As Austin begins his scuffle with Red, Ralph hops down from the building that he and Austin were previously positioned on and makes his way over to the rest of Slayer Renzu's Squad.

"So! Who's this...fine, and...very, very abnormally large friend of ours?" Ralph asks.

"Long story short, that's Ghoul, he's the strongest demon here," Ivy explains.

Ralph then notices that Ivy is clutching a bloody wound in her arm. "You good?" He asks.

"Yeah, it just...hurt when Lycan and I were sent flying through that wall over there" Ivy answers with a weak smile.

"Hah! Well then, let's just hope that your morale is still up!" Ralph laughs as a golden bow constructed out of Cursed Power appears in his hands. Ralph then holds the bow up, creating a golden arrow between the bow and its string out of his Cursed Power, and knocks it back.

"Morale Arrow: Single Shot!" Ralph shouts as he fires off an arrow at Ghoul, which uselessly clans against the demon's building fat and muscles and bounces off, dissipating back into Ralph's golden Cursed Power. Ghoul lets out a small grunt before turning to where he felt the arrow come from, fixing his beady eye on Ralph.

"Wow…do you have no faith in me or what?!" Ralph cries.

"Well it's a little difficult when I'm wounded…" Ivy sheepishly replies.

"Oh great," Ralph snaps.

"I…I do believe that you only succeeded in annoying the demon further," Ivy adds as Ghoul reaches for the giant ax across his back.

"Oh…GREAT!"

With a roar, Ghoul swings his giant axe outwards, sending shockwaves of wind Ralph's way

 "WAHHH!" Ralph cries as he is sent flying backwards due to Ghoul's attack.

"Ralph!" Ivy cries as she watches her squadmate's back get slammed against one of the walls of the back alley that Hell's Bar is located in, Ralph's back sliding down the dingy wall uncomfortably.

Ivy then turns to face Ghoul again and continues playing her flute. As Ivy does so, Lycan lets out a howl and leaps high into the air above Ghoul, his fangs and claws outstretched. But before Lycan can pounce on top of Ghoul, Ghoul looks up to face Lycan and lets out a small roar, swinging his giant ax Lycan's way and smacking Lycan with the flat, blunt side of the blade, sending Lycan flying backwards. But Lycan recovers mid flight, landing against one of the back walls of the alleyway, hanging on by sinking his claws into the brick

"Oh…sorry, Lycan!" Ivy winces.

Lycan then opens his mouth -as per Ivy's commands- and fires another fireball onto Ghoul, who lets out a howl of pain from being scorched by Lycan's fireball. Lycan then pushes off of the back alley wall that he landed on, flying towards Ghoul. Once in front of Ghoul, Lycan opens his jaw up extra wide before chomping down upon one of Ghoul's large, fatty arms. Ghoul lets out a howl of pain as Lycan's powerful fangs sink deep into his flesh, as blood squirts from the wound.

Lycan then raises his front claws and begins slashing at Ghoul's face. Ghoul lets out yet another howl of pain before using his free arm to grab Lycan's neck, ripping Lycan off of his arm, and slamming Lycan to the ground, who lets out a whimper of pain. One of Lycan's fangs remained lodged in Ghoul's flesh.

Meanwhile, Ralph pops off of the dirty back alley floor and constructs another golden bow out of Cursed Power. Ralph then creates another glowing golden arrow out of his Cursed Power and knocks it back, aiming his bow and arrow at Ghoul.

"Morale Arrow: Single Shot!" Ralph shouts as he fires off another Morale Arrow at Ghoul, who counters by swinging his giant ax forwards with a grunt, slacking right through Ralph's attack.

"Crap, that didn't work…" Ralph grumbles to himself. Ralph then aims his golden bow up to the sky as he forms an extra large golden arrow in between his bow and string. "Morale Arrow: Valley Shot!" Ralph shouts as he fires his extra-large Morale Arrow up into the air. After soaring into the air for a while, Raph's Morale Arrow explodes outwards, sending mini Morale Arrows raining down to the ground. Ghoul lets out a mini howl of pain as Morale Arrows rain down upon him, slashing and cutting up his large demonic body.

While Ghoul is distracted by Ralph's Valley Shot, Ivy uses this chance to send Lycan charging towards Ghoul, who dodges and weaves through Ralph's rain of arrows. Once in front of Ghoul, Lycan unleashed another fireball, igniting Ghoul in a rush of flames. Lycan's fireball grows hotter and hotter and darker as it condensed itself into a dark red laser beam. "Our strongest attack! Zoo Keeper: Hell Hound's Fireball, Laser Beam Style!" Ivy shouts.

Ghoul let out his loudest howl of pain yet as he's blasted by Lycan's Hell Hound's Laser Beam. Once Lycan's attack ends, there Ghoul stands, with a huge, gaping hole in his chest. Ghoul lets out a small grunt of pain before falling to the ground, defeated. 

"Whew!" Ralph lets out a sigh of relief as he plants his butt onto the floor. "Damn, my back hurts like Hell from getting slammed into that wall…" grumbles as he rubs his back.

"That used up a lot of my Cursed Power," Ivy sighs as she plants her butt down besides Lycan.

"Hey, uh…did we win?" A voice asks.

Ralph and Ivy look over to where they heard the voice and see a naked Lycan. Ivy blushes as she fails to cover her eyes, Ralph remains apathetic.

"Oh, yeah, we won," Ralph nonchalantly answers.

"Um...here you go," Ivy stammers as she reaches into her backpack and pulls out some of Lycans clothes, tossing them his way.

"Er ...thank you," Lycan awkwardly replies.
