Ma And Pa

The air around Blackstone City grew heavy with tension as Jin unsheathed his sword, its blade catching the faint glow of the black stone walls. His grip tightened, his eyes locked onto CP0, who hovered above like a specter of vengeance. The tension crackled like static in the air, and the faint hum of CP0's energy echoed ominously.

From the rooftops, Madagascar stood on another building, his shoulders occupied by the legendary monkeys Ma and Pa.

Ma, her voice sharp and commanding, spoke first. "We can't fight him while he's up there. We need to bring him down."

Pa, with his gruff tone, nodded in agreement. "Damn straight. Let's get to it."

Madagascar smirked. "Go for it, Ma."

Ma's mouth opened wide, impossibly so, and her tongue unraveled with a sickening wet sound, stretching and splitting into several smaller mouths, each lined with razor-sharp teeth. The grotesque yet majestic display of power shimmered under the faint glow of Blackstone's energy.

The air snapped with a sharp whoosh as Ma's tongue hardened and straightened like a blade, the multiple mouths along its length snapping hungrily. Without a moment's hesitation, the tongue shot forward, hurling toward CP0 with an explosive force that ripped through the ground beneath it. The shockwave it created left cracks spiderwebbing across the black stone as it tore upward, obliterating everything in its path.

CP0, hovering mid-air, twisted to dodge the incoming strike. The tongue missed by a hair, but Ma redirected it mid-flight, snapping it toward him once more. CP0 dodged again, the tongue grazing the edge of his metallic frame. The speed of her strikes created deafening sonic booms, reverberating across the city.

The tongue hurled itself again, now moving faster, like a whip seeking blood. CP0 raised his palm this time, his fingers glowing with a faint blue light, and with a snap of his wrist, a cross-shaped symbol materialized in front of him. The symbol released a deafening sound wave, its intensity scattering Ma's tongue into countless pieces.

The air stilled for a moment as the shredded tongue hung in the air like confetti.

Pa, still perched on Madagascar's shoulder, scoffed. "What a waste of time. Watch closely, though. She's just getting started."

True to his words, the pieces of Ma's tongue began to reassemble mid-air, snapping back together with a series of grotesque slurping sounds. Ma let out a fierce growl, her tongue now fully reformed and blazing with renewed energy.

"Take this!" Ma roared as her tongue hurled forward one last time, slamming into CP0's chest with a bone-crushing impact. The force sent him hurtling toward the ground, a black streak trailing behind him as he smashed through several structures, the roar of destruction echoing across the city.

CP0's body emitted blue flames, which flared upon contact with Ma's tongue. The flames licked at the appendage, burning it, but Ma held firm, pressing CP0 deeper into the ground with sheer force. Her voice rang out, filled with pain and determination. "Hot, hot, hot, hot!" she shouted, retracting her tongue as it hissed with steam, the smell of scorched flesh filling the air.

Madagascar clapped his hands in approval. "Not bad, Ma."

"It's just a scratch," Ma replied, retreating to her perch on Madagascar's shoulder.

CP0, now sprawled on the ground, appeared motionless for a brief moment. Jin, standing on a nearby building, seized the opportunity. His eyes narrowed, his grip on his sword tightening. With a sudden burst of energy, Jin blurred forward, landing gracefully on a nearby rooftop. He stretched out his hand, invoking his psychic mental ability, attempting to control CP0's mind.

The attempt failed. Jin's brow furrowed as he realized CP0 was immune. "His mental resistance is… perfect," Jin muttered under his breath, his mind racing. "That changes things."

Without hesitation, Jin invoked The Order, channeling its destructive energy to the tip of his sword. The air around him grew heavy as the sword began to hum with an ominous power. With a powerful swing, Jin unleashed a gravitational slash, its force tearing through the very fabric of the city.

The slash obliterated buildings, roads, and black stone pillars in its path, leaving a trail of utter destruction. The sound of the attack was deafening, a combination of cracking stone and roaring wind that seemed to echo endlessly. The slash reached CP0, who had barely risen from the ground.

Instead of dodging, CP0 raised his arm, absorbing the attack into his body. The gravitational energy swirled around him, dissipating into his metallic frame. For a moment, the city fell silent, the destruction seemingly halted.

From above, Jin landed back on the rooftop where Madagascar stood, a sly smile on his face. "You shouldn't have absorbed that," he said calmly.

CP0's arm twitched, and suddenly, with a violent explosion, the arm detonated, sending shards of metal and blue energy scattering in all directions. CP0 staggered, his mechanical voice sputtering.

Jin pointed his sword at CP0. "The Order doesn't just destroy what it touches. It commands destruction. Absorbing it means you've accepted the command. And the command was simple: obliterate."

CP0 stumbled slightly but quickly regained his footing, his glowing eyes narrowing on Jin.

As the smoke cleared, CP0's body stood tall, his damaged arm sparking as blue flames licked at its edges. Jin, now confident, prepared to strike again, his sword gleaming with the combined energy of his abilities. From afar, the sound of Nicklaus's mocking laughter echoed faintly, a reminder that the battle was far from over.

Madagascar stretched his arms, preparing for another round. "You've got his attention now, Jin. Don't screw this up."

Jin's eyes burned with determination. "I won't."

The camera pans out, showing the smoldering ruins of Blackstone as the battle continues to escalate.
