End of The World? Time to Level Up!

As Rose and Sebastian's fight commenced the group looked at the boy giving them a creepy grin.

"So, you guys were the friends of Rose?" asked the boy.

"Not where are still!" shouted Sapphire.

"No, I doubt that you see Rose isn't exactly herself since the war." stated the boy.

He chuckled to himself.

"Where are my manners? My name is Cuerno!" said Cuerno.

"That's great and all but you do realize that there is 9 of us and only 1 of you." said Chase.

"I know it totally isn't fair for you guys!" shouted Cuerno.

Cuerno suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of Sapphire and Hanabira.

"I'll take care of the Healers first" thought the boy to himself only to see two figures appear above him.

Cuero released a "tch" and jumped backwards dodging out the way of Chase and Arata swinging their weapons downwards. The little boy was faster than they anticipated causing them to hit empty air. Gale roared as he charged forwards and swiped his hand upwards birthing his signature flame katana which promptly clashed against Cuero's hand as he stopped the slash. The boy laughed and then quickly grabbed ahold of Gales arm and brining his knee up producing a sickening crunch as he broke the purple haired teens arm. Gale screamed out in pain only to go quiet as Cuero preformed a spinning round house kick which connected straight in Gales mouth blasting in sideways through an old car wreckage.

Lio shouted Boss as he ran towards the boy only to suddenly feel a burning feeling coming from his stomach making him slowly look down causing his eyes to dilate to the size of saucers. In front of him stood Cuero still with the grin plastered on his face as his hand was jammed straight through the tall teens stomach. Lio promptly vomited out some blood on the street except a few drops splattered on Cuero's face which he slowly looked at and licked the drops up.

His smile grew bigger as he tossed Lio to the side like a bag of potatoes, the teens eyes closed as the big hole in his stomach bleeding badly. Angel had tears in her eyes as she activated her thunder heal boots and dashed towards Cuero only to suffer the same fate as Gale as Cuero quickly appeared in front of her and caught a kick, she was aiming at his head and broke her leg throwing her away. The white-haired teen suddenly started to chuckle before he full on laughed sending many creepy vibes among them.

"Is this really what papa had to worry about?" said Cuero amused.

Chase and Arata slowly walked forwards away from the group as Cuero were still laughing.

"Akame protect everyone while the healers take care of Sebastian's friends" spoke Arata slowly.

"Boss you can't be serious let me help you!" shouted Akame.

Arata shook his head and then looked over his shoulder giving the girl a smile.

"I'll be fine now go" said Arata once again.

Akame bit her bottom lip and then nodded to Arata and ran towards Gale who was launched away the rest of the group following her quietly.

Chase simply smirked and then started to stretch his shoulder.

"Such a compassionate boss huh" said Chase.

"Just shut up and fight Sanguis" replied Arata rolling his eyes and taking out his naginata spear.

Chase simply shrugged his shoulder and then appeared in front of Cuero in a blur surprising the kid only to feel a fist borrowing its way in his face launching him flying through the building he was standing on earlier. Cuero was dazed as he blasted through the walls of concrete and steel bars of the building only to recover quickly and dig his feet in the ground stopping his flight. His smile was not present on his face as he spat some black blood on the floor, while looking at Chase and Arata sprinting towards him.

"[Delta Ruin]!" shouted as Cuero's hands glowed neon green when he placed them on the floor.

The moment the teen placed his hands on the floor massive cracks formed in the ground as a bright green light engulfed Chase and Arata only for seconds later a massive explosion rung out in the city causing a small green colored mushroom cloud to caress the night sky. From the wreckage of the building Cuero stood his coat was ripped away showing he was wearing a skin tight black vest that had a massive white cross on it from the chest to his waist. Also wearing baggy green pants and no shoes. Cuero winced when he looked at the palms of his hands which were not a pale white color instead a bright red. While the teen was looking at his hands Arata appeared in front of him already swinging his naginata which was glowing blue.

"[Posideions judgment]" spoke Arata as he slashed upwards a massive glowing wave of water was birthed as the slash connected against Cuero's chest causing him to shout out in pain as he was launched in the air.

The teen grit his teeth as he saw the massive cut on his chest black blood spewing out of it, when he was slowly falling towards the ground he felt a presence above him and saw Chase with his Scythe already joined together to make the big version of it glowing black.

"[Kitsune Hunt]"! spoke Chase as he slashed downwards the glowing slash turned into a giant black fox that bit into Cuero as they came crashing to the floor.

Chase softly landed on the floor as he still looked at the dust cloud Cuero made when he landed, Arata on the other side of the cloud doing the same. The cloud suddenly dispelled as it showed Cuero with a frown on his face as he held the massive Fox by the neck his glowing yellow eyes shone a bit brighter.

"I must say those three earlier did you guys no justice when it came to fighting power" spoke Cuero calmly as he flexed his hand causing the fox's head to bend in an unnatural angle as it dispelled into a few embers of fire.

"Well I have to keep fit for Sebasty-Poo" said Chase dreamily.

Cuero suddenly appeared in front of Chase his fist glowing bright blue.

"[Helios Chop]!" shouted Cuero.

Chase reacted quickly and brought the handle of scythe up to block the strike. The handle didn't last long as the punch broke the handle into two and connected against Chase's chest making him vomit out blood as he was launched backwards. Arata appeared at the side of Cuero and was already in a swinging motion. The black-eyed teen brought up his knee and blocked the blade causing a massive blast of wind blow through the city, Arata didn't stop there as he let go of the weapon and quickly thrusted a palm strike towards the boy's face.

"[Ohm]" said Arata as when the palm touched Cuero's face a massive golden beam launched him away from the yellow haired teen screaming.

Chase quickly came out of the ruble he made and spat some blood out a massive hole in his shirt showing it was burnt.

"Someone we shouldn't hold back against" replied Arata as he glared at Cuero's silhouette in the dust cloud he just made.

Cuero released a shrill scream as a massive tornado of mana surrounded him causing him to glow bright white. When the light settled down the 16-year old wasn't there, in his place appeared a man in his early 20's, he had roughly the same look as Cuero except he had now a massive iron drill lance in his right hand.

"I have had enough of you two" said the now mature Cuero.

Chase released a chuckle as a massive mana tornado surrounded him as well, Arata soon joining him.

"[Fallen Angel Azazel]" said Chase with a big grin on his face.

"[Golden Disciple]" said Arata his eyes glowing.
