Siege of Darkshire - The Breach
#2
THHOOOOMMM

The walls had exploded thirty yards to Hiro’s left, showering the unit of troops with broken stone and falling battlements, crushing most of the men underneath thousand pound stone blocks. “Shit! Shit, shit shit shit!” Hiro swore in surprise and scanned the area with his goggles, taking in the tactical situation as he waved an arm and signaled for his contingent to spread out to reinforce the gap. Portions of the wall were still dangerously unstable, and seeing the defensive weakness, a portion of the horde rushed forward towards the opening. Their bloodthirsty shrieks rang in the hacker’s ears, filtered through his visor’s systems. It would do no good to charge into the thick of the horde. He had to get behind the walls and push outwards. The full extent of his combat potential might be enough to break the charge.

His soldiers rushed ahead to meet the side of the advancing force, zombies, skeletons and werewolves slowing their rush into the breach to engage the darkshire militiamen. Hiro stomped his boots together and leapt, an antigrav assisted jump letting him land on a rough outcropping and jump again until he landed on the battlements. Advancing forward towards the breached section of the wall, he drew his shuriken pistol and began firing at the flying, shrieking shapes swooping low and buzzing archers ahead of him, trying to prevent them from regrouping. Nearly invisible projectiles sheared leathery wings from shoulders, causing the strange bat creatures to spiral down to a sickening splat. As he drew nearer, the Samurai of Silicon leapt to a nearby roof behind the wall, skipping away from the wall until he spotted an empty space to drop down into.

He hit the ground rolling and was nearly knocked over by a white haired blur, radiating power and fury as the man dashed towards the ruined wall, firing off white hot blasts of energy and vaporizing demons and those strange insect beasts. “Hey Bro.” A voice came from his side, the hacker standing up to see a grey teenager with orange and yellow horns waving at him. “You might wanna give Strawso some room.” Hiro blinked behind his lenses, and scanned the newcomer, analyzing any information he could get. The boy shrugged and started walking, the still confused ronin falling in step next to him as he went on. “He’s a wicked dude, and strong as hell. Has some rage issues though, but like, who doesn’t, right? I'm Gamzee.”

Hiro nodded at the boy and drew his tanto as the charging Strazio and a unit of rallied militiamen pushed the incursion back out of the breach. “I'm Hiro. We’ll get better acquainted after this is over, alright Gamzee? I'll keep an eye out for you and Strawman out there.” The troll nodded and Hiro gritted his teeth, flashing forward in a burst of speed that took him out of the wall and directly into a melee.

Bright blades flashed in the air as Hiro kicked into high gear, raindrops splitting microseconds before his dual blades found soft, undead flesh or a rusted weapon to parry. The Digital Daimyo displayed amazing speed compared to the more sluggish of Illidan’s footsoldiers, working his way around the area of the breached wall and clearing space for soldiers to cover and dig in. In the corner of his vision he saw Strazio duelling with a woman who seemed to be half bug, and another teen in a suit that was rather similar to Deadpool’s. Just as Hiro cut through the last undead attacker in his vicinity, he saw a shambling mummy wrapped in cloth and rags raise a twisted ritual knife, attacking the distracted Strazio from behind.

In one smooth motion, the techno samurai sheathed his tanto in their shoulder straps and drew his pistol, firing a barrage of micromolecular shuriken that cut the surprised ambusher in half. The woman spread wings of bone and shrieked at Hiro, while Strazio fended off the child’s assault. “Impudence! You interrupt our domination?” Hiro aimed the pistol at Kerrigan and pulled the trigger again, before holstering it and bursting forward just behind the projectiles, drawing his katana in a striking motion. They clashed on the battlefield as Hiro’s shurikens pelted the Zerg Queen’s body, followed almost immediately by a powerful arcing swing from his katana.

His face inches from hers, the blue sheen of his lenses reflecting her own twisted face back at her as they struggled to overwhelm the other’s weapon. Sword versus bony tipped wing. “Interrupt? Bitch, we’re the main event.”

SHING

They drew back from each other, and the Zerg Queen attacked Hiro with a vicious assault from her wings, spiked ends stabbing hungrily at his form. But the loose coat and his superior speed aided him, her stabs catching his shifting apparel while the hacker fended off her stabs with his blade, even mock yawning to piss her off. And piss her off, it did.

Hiro aimed a clean swipe at her side, and Kerrigan chose to take the hit, a loud crunching sound emanating as the blade bit into her body. She took the opening to lunge forward, claws outstretched, and grabbed Hiro by the throat, hissing furiously as she channeled some sort of energy through her palm and squeezed. ‘Enough of this, clown. You are not worthy of the death I give you.” She focused her mental energies, squeezing life and thoughts out of Hiro as he choked and struggled. “Bet you didn't see this one coming, lady.”

Kerrigan wore a confused expression for a half second before whirling around and watching Strazio’s fist sail less than an inch past her face. Then came the white hot blast of energy, making her stumble back and drop Hiro unceremoniously. He sprung to his feet, rubbing his neck, and watched their two opponents recover as well. “Thanks for the save, man.”

Strazio grunted. “Focus. This isn't Dante’s Abyss.”

Hiro sheathed his katana and nodded. “But we’ll survive it. Let’s rock!”
