The Assassin's Enemy Lover

Its stomach grumbled like it had indigestion and a bright red light shone on its belly.The beams of light grew brighter and brighter before tearing through the belly of the beast.

The beast began to claw at its belly trying to remove the thing it consumed but no matter how hard it clawed nothing could help the situation.

A high pitched whistle tore through the night sky and the beast was blown to bits with a shrill cry. Chunks of burnt flesh fell to the ground like bombs thus the people on the ground could only take cover.

Hua broke through the sky in a rush shaking off the digestion slime on its shiny frame. After reaching a certain height it abruptly stopped and began to shake weirdly.

Concerned Yi Chen reached the mech and found Zi Han wide awake and cursing. One can only imagine the look on his face when he woke up in the belly of a beast.

Because Hua was afraid its master was going to die here it electrocuted him and Zi Han who was knocked out instantly woke up.

“Ugh... it’s so disgusting,” he said with a disgusted expression as goosebumps climbed up his body.

Yi Chen’s eyes beamed with joy seeing this. He couldn’t help but hug him. This directly resulted in the awkward sight of two mechs embracing each other in the sky. if it were two people hugging then it might warrant an awww from the masses. But these were to mechs so... yep.

.....

Zi Han wanted to ask him how he even ended up in the beast’s belly but before he could even say anything his father couldn’t stand it.

“Hey, are you two done? I am struggling over here,” he yelled and Yi Chen was forced to let go of him.

“You let my dad see that? That’s so embarrassing,” whispered Zi Han with the tips of his ears red. He had forgotten that they were calling each other baby this and baby that an hour ago. Now he was shy?

The two mechs descended from the sky and with a swoosh, they pushed away the beasts on top of igneous and the bodies were scattered everywhere.

“This has gone on long enough. How about we end it now,” said Zi Han his head still throbbing and his limbs hadn’t gone back to their regular self but he could handle it. He shook off the sensations while turning his mech’s arm into a rotary cannon.

“Are you sure you are well enough to handle it?” asked Yi Chen and Yeoh Jun yelled,

“Oh, he can handle it. He is tougher than he looks,” replied Yeoh Jun as he tore through three beasts simultaneously with a warhead. Now Yi Chen knew what type of dad Yeoh Jun was. He wasn’t the type that when his son got hurt on the playground he wouldn’t say go to your mum but he would say walk it out, you are fine.

Zi Han smiled happily like this is what he expected his father to be like. As though to affirm their father and son’s special connection, they had a tacit understanding as they lay to waste the waves of beasts coming at them. To be honest, Yi Chen was kind of a little jealous.

“Watch out, watch out,” said Yeoh Jun, and Yi Chen ducked as an ugly faced beast leaped forth jumping over him with its mouth wide open. It was because of this that it drove straight into the line of fire.

Armour piercing bullets rained into its mouth tearing through its skin and coming through its brain. With a loud bang, it fell to the ground right at Zi Han’s feet.

With blood oozing from its mouth, nose, and wound it lay there with its body still rising and falling. Zi Han raised the leg of his mech and ruthlessly stomped on its skull crushing it.

When he scanned his environment he noticed that the beasts were holding back snarling and growling as though looking at a plague.

“Are they retreating or something?” asked Yi Chen.

“Nope... they are just fighting smarter,” replied Yeoh Jun rolling Igneous’ shoulders back.

Just as he said this, two beasts walking on all fours began to stride slowly like cheetahs stalking their prey but when they opened their mouths a mist sprayed out of their mouths as they walked on either side of the three mechs in a circle.

“What are they doing?” asked Yi Chen following the beasts with the muzzle of his mech’s gun.

Zi Han swapped out his cannon rifle for his armour piercing rifle and continued following the other beast.

“That is the scottish mist... that’s what it was named by our ancestors when they first encountered it,” replied Zi Han looking through the scope.

Yeoh Jun turned to look at his son with a proud smile and said, “Your mum has been teaching you well. Actually, it’s a high breed. It spews misty gas but there are usually smaller than that. This one seemed genetically mixed with a ferrous blade. Those things are massive.”

“Then we take them out as they come,” said Yi Chen, and just when he mentioned it the mist completely encircled them.

Loud ear piercing shrieks tore through the air like a battle cry and Yeoh Jun knew it was coming.

“Get into position,” he said and the three of them stood back to back.

A second later a sharp whistle like the wind broke into the air and a raging chimera like beast leaped out with its sharp claws aimed at Yi Chen. Yi Chen was especially fast firing several rounds before the beast fell to the ground alongside the corpses of its fellows.

After one came two then three and they were coming from any and every direction. But no matter how hard they tried to break the three mechs’ formation, it was useless.
