《SkillGap》Chapter 12: 3 Continued

Rank 1, Rank 2 and Rank 3 are standing in front of a village, flames rise from the small buildings as they fall apart.
Rank 2 falls to the floor and starts to cry.
"They did this."
"Why!?"
"What did we ever do to them!?"
Yutsu, the white haired guy walks out of the burning village and stops right in front of weeping Rank 2.
"It hurts, doesn't it?"
"Losing all you love to people you don't know"
"I bet you would like to meet those people, maybe even hurt them."
Rank 2 looks up to see who's talking to him.
Yutsu smiles at him.
"Who are you?"
…
Rank 1, 2 and 3 walk into a red room. Yutsu is sitting on a chair looking at them.
"So, are you three willing to join?"
"Yes!" They all say at the same time.
"Okay, go get your revenge, or feel free to live a normal life, I won't force you to do anything."
Rank 1 responds.
Rank 1: We'll get our revenge! We won't kill anyone after that!
...
Rank 1 impales someone with his bone sword, blood flies into the air.
Rank 2 slices someone in half with his axe, blood splatters on the floor.
Rank 3 beats someone to death by hitting them in the head with her pole repeatedly, a pool of blood forms under the head.
"That's all of them. We're done. We're done for the rest of our life."
"We got our revenge."
…
Rinka stops witnessing Rank 2's past, the darkness enveloping them disappears as he pulls his katana out of Rank 2's chest, no blood falls out once the katana is taken out.
Rinka touches his shoulder and gets blood on his fingers. He had a big cut on his right shoulder.
"What was all of that? His past? Why'd I see it?" Rinka thinks.
Rank 2: So you're the other dude with black blood?
Rinka doesn't respond.
He runs towards Rank 2 and swings his katana, Rank 2 tries to intercept the katana with his axe, but Rinka slices through the axe and cuts his face a little. A giant spear made of bone forms out of Rank 2's chest that heads towards Rinka.
Rinka dodges it. Several sharp bone arms start to form out Rank 2's back, the arms head towards Rinka, he cuts several of them and runs on one of them towards Rank 2's face.
Rinka kicks Rank 2's face, Rank 2 moves a little.
Rank 2 grins at Rinka.
"Ultimate skill, Bone Cage."
An overwhelming amount of bone arms form from Rank 2's back that head towards Rinka.
"I've got a random idea, wonder if it'll work."

"Void Attack 4, Chain Of Black."
The black gas on Rinka's katana starts to form into a black chain, the endless black chain starts to get longer and longer.
"Oh it worked. I think I'm really getting the hang of this attack creating stuff!"
Rinka jumps away from Rank 2, the black chain wraps around all of Rank 2's bone arm and ties them all up together.
Rinka raises his katana and swings it back down which launches Rank 2 into the air and sends him back down.
Rank 2 looks worried as he falls back down.
Rank 2 hits the floor in front of Rinka. Rinka jumps on him, he punches and jumps on Rank 2's face multiple times until Rank 2 is unconscious.
Rinka sits beside the unconscious Rank 2.
"There we go, I beat him." Rinka thinks to himself.
…
Maya wraps strings around Doa and runs towards Rank 3 while holding Doa high up.
Rank 3 grins at them.
Maya and Rank 3 are face to face.
Rank 3 repeatedly swings her pole at Maya. Maya's able to block several times and even lands some blows on Rank 3.
Doa starts firing bullets from above as Maya swings her around using the strings.
Rank 3 slams her pole into the floor and releases a gust of wind that blows the bullets and Maya away.
Several strings come out of Maya as she's pushed away.
Imma-ite runs towards Rank 3.
"Our plan is to overwhelm her, so I guess I'll use my ultimate skill."
"Tsunami Of Rocks."
Imma-Ite stabs the floor with his sword and twists it, the ground under him starts to crack, the floor rises up and cracks even more in front of Rank 3 and behind her. The big pieces of ground and smaller rock head towards her from both sides.
Doa continues to fire bullets rapidly from above.
Rank 3 looks worried.
"Do I make another gust of wind? No, I should run. I should run from this battle. They're stronger."
She starts to remember something.
...
Rank 3 stares at Yutsu who was talking to everyone in the room.
"Boss, what if we're going to die?"
"Try your best not to die, put all your energy into making the black blood people tired and then escaping."
"But what if we're really dying, can we kill them then?"
"You cant kill them, Just run or die."
Rank 3's mind returns to the battle.
"Well, it's easy for Yutsu to say, but trying not to die is hard."
"Yutsu, never said that the black blood people had back up and that they were strong back up."
...
Minaro punches Rank 1's back and breaks a part of his spine.

Rank 1 yells in pain.
Rank 1 gets launched to the floor, he tries to stand up again but crumbles to the floor. He starts to think to himself.
Minaro walks towards Rank 1. Rank 1 looks worried.
"No! I'm gonna die! The killing intent coming out of him. It's huge."
Minaro stands beside Rank 1 and looks down at him.
"No! I don't want to die yet!"
Minaro places his hand on Rank 1's head.
"Bone Creation, Bone Creation." Minaro repeats in his head.
Rank 1 trembles nervously as he awaits his fate.
…
Rank 3 drops her pole and puts her hands together like she's praying.
"I'll run, I'll save them."
Rank 2's body next to Rinka starts to melt, Rank 1 next to Minaro starts to melt as well.
The melted bodies flow towards Rank 3, she absorbs them.
A giant bone shield forms in front of her which stops all of Maya's strings, Imma-Ite's boulders and Doa's bullets.
The bone shield breaks. Rank 3 now has longer hair and her eyes are a mix of brown, red and purple.
"We're running."
Rank 3 thinks to herself.
Rank 3 is able to hear her brothers speaking to her.
She hears Rank 2.
"So we fused, should we run or keep fighting?"
She responds to him.
"I'm gonna run, there's 5 of them, the boss didn't tell us the 2 with the black blood had friends. I'm gonna use my ultimate skill and hope it distracts them. "
Rank 3 starts to run away.
Imma-Ite: Hey, she's running away!
Doa, Maya and Imma-Ite chase after her, Rinka and Minaro quickly dash towards them and also chase after Rank 3.
Rinka: Rank 1 fucking melted in front of me. What happened!?
Doa: The skillers fused, the website said the 3 could fuse together if they want too!
"Reflecting Walls, Skill Barrage."
Rinka and the others almost catch up to Rank 3 but are suddenly blocked by 4 giant mirrors that appear around them.
They all get startled, then they look around.
Imma-Ite: Mirrors!?
Rinka: Must be her ultimate skill.
Large steel crates.
Giant bone arms.
Axes.
Glass shards
Ink.
Plant vines.
Bombs.
All of that comes out from the 4 mirrors and heads towards Rinka and the others in the middle.
"Twintails."
The black chain forms back into black gas.
Rinka swings his sword and cuts as many things as he can.
Maya launches strings at the things and holds them up.
Imma-Ite uses his sword to block objects falling towards him.
Doa dodges objects.
Minaro starts running and jumping over and on everything towards the mirror.
He runs through the waves of shattered glass and other things heading towards him. He gets hurt but continues to run forwards. He lands on a steel crate and jumps off it towards the mirror. He punches the mirror and it shatters, Minaro continues heading forwards.
Rank 3 runs, she hears Rank 1 in her head.
"You think they'll die in there?
She responds.
"They won't die, they're strong."
Suddenly Rank 3 stops in her tracks. She looks worried.
"Uh, Yuma? Move."
She responds.
"I-I can't, I'm scared."
"That killing intent, you feel it too?"
She responds.
"Y-yes."
Minaro appears behind Rank 3 with his palm pointing towards her. Rank 1 and 2 simultaneously yell at her to move.
"MOVE! Yuma MOVE!"
Rank 3 tries to move, but she won't budge. She looks down and she gets even more scared.
Her feet are frozen to the floor.
"I-I can't move!"
Her breathing gets faster. She gets more nervous. Her tears hit the floor.
Rank 3: PLEASE DONT KILL ME!
Minaro puts his hand down and walks around Rank 3 and stops in front of her.
Minaro: Why shouldn't I kill you?
Rank 3: I-I don't want to die! I really don't want-
Minaro: Okay.
Rank 3 looks up at Minaro, hopeful.
A giant icicle forms from Minaro's hand that impales Rank 3 and rips her to shreds.
Minaro stands over her flesh. He tries to summon the mirrors he saw seconds ago, but nothing happens.
"Fuck, It wasn't called skill reflecting mirrors, I thought that final mirror skill she used was cool, but I didn't guess the name correctly." He thinks.
…
All the mirrors surrounding Rinka and the others disappear. Everyone's bleeding a small amount.
They spot Minaro walking towards them.
Rinka wipes blood off his face.
Rinka: Did you kill them?
Minaro nods his head.
Rinka:... I guess our job here is done.
Bukkaru walks towards everyone and meows.
Doa looks at Bukkaru.
Doa: Take us back home.
Everyone is enveloped in a purple ball, a few seconds later they are back home.
Rinka looks at Bukkaru.
Rinka: Really useful cat.
Imma-Ite walks to the couch and falls on it.
Imma-ite: I'm going to sleep. Night y'all
Rinka looks at Doa, Maya and then Minaro.
Rinka: Let's go do our own things now and talk about stuff when we're not tired.
Doa: Okay, I'll be going to my room now.
Doa and Maya head towards their room.
Bukkaru lays on the floor and falls asleep.
Rinka and Minaro walk to their room.
Hours go by, It's the next morning now.
