《Insignia》"The Tenyi" Ch 19. 5 guardians stand tall
Advertisement
Hiro runs into the room of guys, abandoning pursuit of this lady.
Hiro: So! You're the Tenyi I have been hearing so much about!
They all look at Hiro and smile.
--- Chapter 19 ---
Hiro: Hmf, so I got it right.
Hiro said with a smile. But the more Hiro looked at these guys the more he felt off put by them. Something was wrong. Was it there faces? Proportions? They just didn't seem normal. His thinking was cut off by them dashing in for a barrage of punches. He sees them coming and he is able to dodge, but their movements are not normal. There footing, there speed, there punch, the force.
Hiro: So, what are you?
Them, all together simultaneously: So you figured it out already.
Hiro: Kinda, I got that you're not human, but I'm still trying to figure out what you are exactly.
Them: Heh, wouldn't you like to know.
Hiro prepares for a rough battle. Green energy flows from his right hand, and connects it with his left hand forming a katana. He runs in to slash one, but a buffer looking one dashes in front and tanks the slash. Hiro looked at this one and it took almost no damage. It felt like hitting steel. A more toned one comes in from the side punching at his head. Hiro barely dodges this, but a skinnier one zooms in, faster than the rest and punches Hiro in the head. Hiro goes flying into the metal sheet walls of the building.
Hiro: ah, shit that hurt.
Hiro gets up onto his feet and looks at them.
Hiro: They're so in sync, almost like they're the same person. They all seem to have things they're good at. The buff one can take a lot of hits, like a defender. The skinny one is quicker, and the tone one hits good. I'm not sure what the other two do though.

Hiros katana starts to glow before disappearing.
Hiro: Looks like this won't be an easy fight, mine as well bring out the big guns.
Green energy starts spilling out of the seals in his hands. He swipes both hands down as the green energy swirls and forms into two swords. The one on the left is a rapier with a blue guard, and the other a one edged longsword with a red streak down the blunt end. The blunt end adorning red spikes. Hiro runs in towards the buff one. He slashes forward with the red sword. As expected it barely left a scratch. But he brings the blade around and catches its arms in the spikes, and rips its arms toward him. The spikes left puncture wounds in what originally looked like flesh, but is now a mess of sparks and wires.
Hiro: These things are mechanical? Does this mean they are magic items or what.
The more toned one runs in for a punch but the skinny one is right behind hiro ready for an attack.
Hiro: Gotcha.
Hiro spins around as fast as possible and stabs the rapier forward. It pierces the head of this thing, but its still moving in to punch
Hiro: Damn your sturdy.
Hiro, to the robot's surprise, screams as loud as possible. A moment of shock passes over their faces, before the blade starts to simulate the audio waves and starts rippling incredibly fast, carving a large slit down its face. Sparks fly out of its face as it backs up, before falling immoble.
Hiro: one down, four ugly bastards to go.
They all regroup seemingly taking this more serious. One of the ones that didn't attack yet grabs his fore arm and pulls it off. Under is a barrel, and he aims it at Hiro. Vents open on its back, and a sucking noise can be heard. The other that had not attacked also gets vents. It puts its hands forward and a magical symbol appears. Hiro closes his eyes, and upon opening them, he seems to have an intensity in them. He cracks a smile. Almost like a new person, he prepares himself. His eyes flare a flash of green, thinking of their characteristics and movements. Through his eye, footprints appear in shades of green and yellow.

Hiro: I'm ready, perfectly.
Out of the magical symbol three bolts fire out toward Hiro. He swipes his red sword at the bolts, catching them as he twirls the blade around sending the energy caught dispersing. The barrel hand starts to release a barrage of energy bullets at Hiro. Hiro dashes to the side as the bullets hit the ground behind him. He runs up to a support beam, to which he runs up a bit. Bullets embed themselves into the beam. He jumps off the beam landing behind the barrel hand. The barrel hand tries to spin but is caught with his red sword getting stabbed into the vents. It jerks around before falling over. Surprised the toned one goes in to punch, but he throws the red blade at him. The buff one zooms in front as the blade hits its head. Thinking it was about to bounce off, it made this action willingly, but to it's surprise, it was thrown spike first, meaning spikes pierced its skull, it remains standing there jerking its arms slightly. Hiro sees the magic one preparing a spell, a fireball. It goes flying toward him but he slides under it. He slides through its legs, and as he does, the fireball bursts with a bang, causing his blade to jutt a curve. This causes it to cut the legs, and fall to its knees. Following his slide, he spins into taking a knee, stabbing his sword backward. The sound of the vent causing it to ripple and tear its chest to nothing. He stands and looks back at the buff and tone robot. He runs in, the tone one punches but he ducks and spins, separating its arm from its body. Hiro grabs the red sword lodged in the buff one's head and tears it out causing sparks to fly, before it collapses. He spins after, and decapitates the remaining one. They all fall to the ground.
Hiro: See, easy.
Hiro says in an exhausted tone. He then holds his eyes.
Hiro: Argh, damn I think I went a little overboard. But I gotta warn Sole and Elias.
