Panic! VII

Chell looked to her side, she was going to Raise Faro as soon as Go’Bhu became distracted. At least everyone was up and on their feet. He snarled at them again, becoming infuriated. Stella stared right through him, there wasn’t an ounce of fear in her heart anymore. She was willing to die for her shell, her family. He stuck his sword into the ground, splitting the moss. His body shook, “What the ….” Soul began to say as he looked on in terror. He walked towards Faro and dug his claws deep into his neck, blood dripped onto his hands and he drunk it. Everyone turned away disgusted. Go’Bhu looked at them one last time. How dare they stand up to him, how dare they put up this much of a fight? He bent down on one knee, his body seemed to suffer a compulsion. Soul aimed his bow, but didn’t fire. A spike shot through the Quaduvs back, and then more followed after that. His body became covered with them. Tiny black spikes covered Go’Bhu’s body as it expanded and the Quaduv seemed to grow bigger. He felt his body surge with power as he stood. He looked at their faces one more time, the fear cast upon all of their faces as Go’Bhu took his second form. He had the ability to change on two conditions. Either he was near his final breath and it was a desperation maneuver or his thirst for blood was satisfied. He touched his great sword and it became engulfed in fire. “He just gets gayer and gayer.” Soul muttered to himself. He walked toward Chell, he grabbed her, his touch burning her skin. She tried to fight him off but it was useless. He looked fierce, even scarier than he did at first. “Let her go.” Stella ordered. Go’Bhu shook his head. He had what he wanted, it was time for Xchelly to die. Stella took out her sword, but she thought before she used Provoke. Elvane and Just couldn’t do anything to help in this fight, he seemed invulnerable to hand to hand attacks now. Soul and Stu took their aim, and everyone readied themselves again. He shook his head, he sighed at their attempts. He let go of his hold on Chell, and he paused. This caused them to worry, they didn’t know what this one was capable of, but his last form was a pain in the ass. Suddenly Elvane dropped to the ground, and Justcartilage nearly jumped into Drakkonis’ arm. Stella peered at the Quaduv, “It’s going to take more than that.” She said, she didn’t want to take her eyes off of Go’Bhu. “Oh… my… god.” Azenis cried when he noticed Elv. “One shot.” He murmured, he stared at the spike fitted through Elv’s skull. “He was weakened.” Tone said to him, his voice above a whisper. “Still…” “Quiet.” Stella ordered, she didn’t want her linkshell to show any sign of fear. She didn’t want to give this sick bastard the satisfaction of knowing how truly terrified they all were. “Go.” Go’Bhu ordered, “Leave.” He told Mythic who held their ground. Volarion and Bigby had taken their stand beside Go’Bhu. Chell was back behind Mythic, she managed to run to that side when he let her go. Soul held her in his arms as Stella and Go’Bhu had a staredown. Volarion brought out his swords and Stella turned her focus onto him. “Vol.” she called to him, trying to reach him. His eyes were blanked as he readied his attack. “Vol.” she once again stated. Go’Bhu sat and watched. “We know this isn’t you…” Stella began, Vol took a step closer to her. She didn’t back away, but Stu and Fal had their aim on him if he did anything funny. “Break free…” she told him, he seemed to hear that and he turned back to Go’Bhu. “We are your family.” Go’Bhu grabbed his sword again and raised it in the air. Vol shook his head, he turned back to Stella. His eyes filled blood red, an evil smirk on his face. “Die.” He said as he charged at her. She ducked it, and threw her sword to block him again, she hit him with her shield. “Vol.” she cried frantically as Soul shot an arrow that landed through his chest. He stopped, looked at them and then removed it. Stu followed up and hit him with his. This one pierced his neck, he removed it, shook his head and charged again. “This is bad.”
