Graveyard of a Madman Part 40

Previous: Graveyard of a Madman Part 39

Their surprise attack hit hard. Their aerial time was limited, but as they landed, they struck marines and pirates alike. The Blue Angel KAR-3011's came in hard, Carson of the Marimo Pirates was sliced in the back as one of them landed by him. Pier, backup guitarist for the Pop Band Pirates was able to lift his arm to deflect the brunt of it, but his forearm cast a great deal of blood from it before he was able to counter attack. Soraya saw the attack coming from the corner of her eye, and she threw a punch that fell very short of the target, but it stopped the Blue Angel, and her Fishman Karate attack blasted it back into a building. Vice Admiral Gerard caught the sword with both hands on the flats of the blade, and held it there while his opponent, Magnus sliced it and caused immense damage to its legs.

Chio: Rinji! [Dodged under a gigantic metallic fist from the KAR-2099, and hardened his leg] Oni-Katai!!! [Smashed the metal hulk in the side of its face.]

Jiro was quick to come in and slice its head completely off with his gigantic sword. The two of them hurried through the battle as all of them kept coming in. The hulking androids could not fly, but they made their way into the battlefield as the ship docked on the beach. Despite many bazookas firing at them and smashing into them, they still came. Even when they were damaged, they were dangerous opponents.

Jiro and Chio made their way farther into the fray, the explosions came at a much more concentrated time frame. That was where they found Knave and Soraya both fighting side by side as there was not only androids, but the zombies were still a problem. It seemed no matter how many blasts of heat Knave did, there were just too many of them, and their entire front line was being pushed back.

Jiro: Knave! Have you seen Rinji? [He called out in the midst of the cannon explosions that were happening all around them.]

Knave: Yeah! [Pointed up at the building beside them, up at the top of it, they could clearly see Sakura and her sword slicing all around her as Blue Angels kept descending upon her, and parts of them scattering all around.]

Jiro was quick to jump his way up the building along the side, followed closely by Chio. What they saw was pure, unbridled chaos! Sakura was scattering android parts all around, then locking horns with yet another KAR. Spike was punching down a brutish android 2099 model, grabbing its arm and pulling it straight off, kicking its remains off of the building. Gopher, the little Shroomian hopped on one of the large android's backs and pulled off a metal plate that protected its circuit, and climbing inside of it to destroy it from the inside.

Then there was Rinji, taking no chances with the 2099 model KAR that he remembered fighting on Fringe. Rinji punched it directly in the head, knocking it back to the very edge of the building's roof, breaking the railing that lined it.

Rinji: Busoshoku!!!! RINJI TSUMEEEEEEE!!!! [He painted his whole arm with red haki, jabbing his flattened paw toward the android, and in an instant, five holes ripped through its midsection. It fell to pieces, its scrap metal flew off the roof.]

Jiro: Rinji! [Ran to his friend as he was taking a small breather, obviously becoming exhausted.]

Rinji: Jiro! Glad to see your excursion with a bazooka blast went well.

Jiro: Yes, indeed it did. [He looked to see that the roof was cleared of automatons.] Rinji, I'm sure you remember these from before.

Rinji: Yeah, apparently Kathium didn't go up with that damn tower. [Cringed as he looked down at the battlefield.]

Jiro: Well, there's more bad news. It seems as if
