《After Life》Chapter 24.1: The Storm

Advertisement

As the fight of the NGP reaches its climax, Shado summons Sariph the demon to the fight.

High above, a mass of clouds furiously cluster together forming dark, and ominous tidings. Cain appears to be dancing, now swirling his hands with liquid motion. His face has a deep look of concentration. With the ebb and flow of his hands more black clouds unfold rolling in from the East.

“Oh no you don’t!” calls Cole dancing in kind, summoning a storm of his own from the West.

The powerful storms collide generating an array of monumental bolts of lightning. The two storms rapidly develop into an even blacker super storm, forming into a yin yang shape. Lightning strikes hit the earth indiscriminately causing some of the Blood Hunters to be taken out simply due to their sheer numbers. With an extraordinarily loud boom and bright array of lighting arcing across the sky, something ghastly shows itself. Both Toxic and Thunder have arrived blazing through the battlefield. Though they are recognizable, they have been altered beyond belief, fully converted into Ultra Blood Hunters.

Thunder has evolved into a black stone brute, intensely larger than he was before. His hands and arms have become thick chunks of stone forming into a large body without a neck. His head is covered by a large rounded dome helmet, with two red eyes glowing from the eye sockets. The rest of his body has been integrated with a full exoskeleton with large mechanical joints supporting his weight, and increasing his speed.

In comparison Toxic is a much smaller build having retained most of his body’s original size. He's still protected by a suit, but now it’s made of a thick black metal with lines of glowing yellow running up his sides. Two large hoses extend from his back down to his wrists, blasting out a yellow glowing acidic sludge. His shoulders secrete a green mist dusting some lingering toxic poison.

It's obvious the Ultra Blood Hunters are much more aggressive, because with great speed, Thunder is barreling through the battlefield without any regard to the first gen hunters. Toxic follows behind him leaving a trail of chemicals disintegrating unlucky hunters that wander too close. Gemming turns his aim to converge with the new hunter additions. The trio, simply navigating through the battlefield with their massive area attacks, are causing more destruction to the first gen Blood Hunters than any of the NGP has so far. The first gen hunters scream in confusion as they are forced out of the way. Everything in them wants to attack the Ultra Blood Hunters for interfering, but their internal programming won’t allow it.

Cole gasps, “Oh no! We’re too late! They’ve already been converted!”

Rush shouts, “Does that mean Blazer didn’t make it out?!”

Kid drops to his knees, “It’s hopeless. This is an impossible army. What could we possibly do against this force?!”
