[To release water from your wrist make a fist; the Rei in the suit will turn the air outside into water. You can only shoot one bullet at a time from each arm respectively; by the time the sixth bullet is shot, the first will be ready. To do this, move your palms upward.]
Tento nodded, hearing the mechanical voice of his brother gave him goose-bumps all over.
Before he could move, the A.I. voice gave out a warning.
[The suit gives you a boost in speed, not stamina. You, also need to feed me.]
"Feed you?!"
Tento exclaimed in shock, here he thought he is going to get free things!
—As expected from my big brother!
Not caring the A.I. explains:
[I recharge automatic by taking Rei from the atmosphere; over the years I've gathered a lot. Sun exposure will help me in making bullets. Water is also required. Let me eat that beast's Tama; the heart too. I'll give part of the heart to you; it's good for your health. I've a cooking manual for the King Cat.]
Ten felt heartsick. The thing his brother left him was stressing. How is he supposed to give it the beast's heart when he is dead? It lacks logic like his brother!
Taking a roolie breath, the young man tests his movements. After a minute he frowns, feeling like something was pinning his joints to the ground.
"Why is it so heavy?"
[It's only so since your body is weak; this is a low level suit. If you used me earlier, then you would have adjusted.]
Ten rolled his eyes, not taking those words to heart. Taking a nonaligned apprehensive, he performs a few push-ups, before jumping and jogging to adjust to the suit slightly —he looked like a substitute soccer player on the bench ready to enter the field.
"Do you have a strategy?"
[I take back what I said about the weakness of the King Cat. It has a Tama to shrink its body which makes it maintain a stable breathing pattern. Also, its speed increases at such a moment. Its regenerative Tama is also a problem. Such Tama will help me improve, you need to get them.]
Ten blinks a few times, he didn't know what to say, but whatever he is going to say next is along the lines, 'how can I get them?' or 'If you're so smart get them yourself.'
Oblivious, the A.I. adds:
[Right now tell Lucy-san to pulverize all of it's heads at once before it recovers.]
'Is it crazy? Did it inherit my brother's brain?'
All the vigor in Tento's eyes disappear; a gloomy expression takes his face
[Here is your chance to help!]
Ten immediately runs toward Lucien, making clack sounds from the metal legs of his suit. Arriving, he curls his hands into a fist, releasing water from his wrist, blocking the flames coming at them.
As steam shrouds the place, Lucien's compliment enters his ears.
"Nice work."
When he turned to the side, the man was in the steam. He didn't see him, but still yelled:
"Lucy-san the only way to kill it is to destroy all its heads at once! I'll see if there is something I can do!"
The pink-haired man felt his face cringe at the last sentence.
'Something, I can do? Sitting and praying for Lucy-san's victory is something I can do.'
Ten felt a ting of despondency wash over him. Soon, however, his lips curl into an errant smile curled on his lips as he chuckled.
"There is something I can do... better try than do nothing."
***
Using the steam to his advantage, Lucy takes roolie steps toward the King Cat. Since the beast had showed him all its tricks, Lucy decided to advance a level in his strength, taking Ten's advice into account.
'I'll use all my physical power to take it down.'
As a cold glint shines in his eyes, Silver Hammer grips his otsuchi with both hands. Arriving near the confused beast, he didn't do anything fancy, raising his hammer until it formed a straight line with him.
In one swoop he brings it down.
Bang!!
A loud echo rang in the air, clearing the smoke. Blood rushed over to Lucy's face tainting his coat. Although furious, he didn't press on the issue, watching the King Cat recovered two of it's lost heads.
The profound beast was swift to act, shrinking its body in an attempt to flee, but Ten fire a shot at it. The Cat was forced to enlarge its size, recovering its lost limbs done in by the bullet.
Roar!!
A thunderous roar escaped its mouth, trying to breathe out fire to burn Lucy about to attack its giant leg. However, Tento proved it to be useful, lunching water to its face.
Bang!!!
Lucien shattered its front legs.
The beast was swift to shrink; luckily enough Ten missed it by a long shot, forcing him to yell as he retreats back.
"Damn it!"
Lucy ignored the young man, using the first move of his Martial Arts: [Hammer Flute: 24 sided star].
He propelled at the fastest of his speed, making a swoosh in the air.
The beast quickly enlarges to its peak size; however before it could do a thing, Lucy was in front of it, releasing a barrage of attacks.
The attacks weren't strong like the last one, yet the swiftness accounted for it.
Lucy swung his hammer from all possible positions: side, bottom, top.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Not getting a chance to react, blood gushes out from the King Cat's body, prompting it tumble to the ground, roaring in pain.
Unfortunately for Lucy, his 24 strikes only managed to make the body into broken bones and tone flesh. The tiger head was still intact as its side dripped blood to imaginable levels.
However, unlike humans, beasts' Tama are nearly active every moment, because of the their survival instincts.
The King Cat shrunk as it recovers.
However, Ten had expected such, shooting a barrage of bullets from his mechanical suit, finishing off the beast.
Pew!
As the last bullet sound echoed in the air, the beast returned to its original size with a huge bullet curve in place of its head.
Blood gushed out from its already recovered body like water from a pipe.
Satisfied, Lucien looks over to Tento who was already on his knees thanks to all the running he did.
"Good job. You killed a stage 3 profound beast."
