Seeing the second attack approaching, Lei Shi turned and using his gun, he fired an electric beam at the sound waves and that released an electric field which destabilized the sound waves, causing an explosion which sent waves in every direction.
*Cough* the twins once more coughed up blood after being struck by the waves.
*Brrr*
The Research Rector once more powered her gun. However, this time she charged it to a terrifying degree that the disc that was attached to its nozzle trembled.
BOOM
She pulled the trigger and the resulting sound wave bullet shook the entire ocean. She aimed to kill.
Leng Shi and Lei Shi's minds raced. They were thinking of ways to escape. They couldn't outrun their pursuers or the sound bullet. Also, they couldn't block the attacks the same way as before, because other than the stunning effect of the sound waves which lets their pursuers close the distance between them much faster, the energy required to block that attack will be astronomical.
Right before the sound waves crash on them, Lei Shi and Leng Shi looked at each other and as if speaking telepathically, they stopped, and facing each other as they floated in the water, they curled up their bodies, stepped on the soles of each other's feet and jumped, thereby propelling each other in the opposite direction, leading to the sound wave bullet passing through their previous location and striking the seabed.
*Rumble* the seabed trembled violently.
Lei Shi and Leng Shi, having dodged the attack, somersaulted, pulled out their sabers and charged at the Research Rector from both sides, not giving her a chance to fire another shot. "Fuck running, we're gonna kill this bitch!" yelled Lei Shi. "Or we die trying!" added Leng Shi supportively.
In a blink, they reached her. But as if she was expecting this outcome from start, she directly disconnected her gun from the disc, holstered it, pulled out a foot-long sword which enlarged into a meter-long sword, and had a head-on collision with the twins' sabers.
Their weapons were locked together, but even though Leng Shi and Lei Shi were on one side trying to overpower the Research Rector, she wasn't the slightest bit weaker than them.
*Grunt*
They pushed each other away. After stopping, they once more charged at the Research Rector starting a fierce battle with her. As they fought, the Research Rector spun and sent the remaining rods flying in different directions.
Sword and saber clashed repeatedly; however, Leng Shi and Lei Shi couldn't get the upper-hand even though they were two. They couldn't even stop the rods that she was throwing because as soon as one of them tried to stop the rods, she immediately increased the pressure on the other, that if he chose to stop them, the other twin will likely die.
Their fight grew fiercer and fiercer. But in the middle of it, the Research Rector began to release from her suit sound waves which muddled the minds of the twins, thereby dropping their combat efficiency.
They separated once more. But this time around, the twins were more distressed. This fight that they were having underwater was only possible due to the boost in power their HTB suits provided them with, because without that, their movement underwater would've been too sluggish. The distressing thing was that their energy consumption was becoming too great, so great that if the fight continued for some more time, they will run-out of energy and become sitting ducks waiting to be slaughtered.
Leng Shi and Lei Shi's brains raced as they tried to think of a way out of their current predicament. They were startled out of their thoughts when they noticed something.
The rods that the Research Rector threw while they fought had become discs just like the first rod and all nine of them had aligned themselves in a special array with twins in the center.
"Checkmate" said the Research Rector with a cold tone.
"Fuck" cursed Lei Shi.
"Maybe we can talk about it?" asked Leng Shi to the Research Rector.
Her response was to pull out her gun and point it at them. As she charged it, a whirring sound echoed out, while the discs trembled simultaneously, seeming to each be preparing for an attack.
HONG
The ocean roiled as water waves rose and fell. This phenomenon however, wasn't as a result of the Research Rector attacking. Rather, it was as a result of a black-colored giant furry fist smashing into her.
The twins were flabbergasted. But that shock immediately turned to fright when they saw the attacker.
It was a furious looking red-eyed Black Ape that was over a hundred-meters tall.
The thing that scared the twins the most wasn't its size; rather it was its identity.
This wasn't an ordinary Beast. This was a Boss. Not just any kind of Boss, but the most deadly kind. This was the Obsidian Ape, one of the top three Invaders Beasts which raided planet Earth in the year 3219. This Beast was so terrifying that only Atomic Bombs could harm it.
"Why is it here" asked the twins to themselves.
Earlier, they thought they had a hundred percent chance of dying after being cornered by the Research Rector, but now, it had become a thousand percent. They knew they will definitely die, the Obsidian Ape was known for its ruthlessness and habit of killing everything that ever moved in its presence.
*Boom Boom Boom Boom*
The four ships exploded in rapid succession like fireworks. The Obsidian Ape didn't need to punch a ship twice.
But suddenly, like a purple comet, the Research Rector descended from the sky with her sword in her hand, and with great force, she struck the Obsidian Ape on its shoulder. But that only cut a few hairs and made it move back a little. It didn't even break its skin.
ROAR!!!
The Obsidian Ape roared furiously, that attack of hers seemed to piss it off more than it hurt it.
"Harrgghh!!!" the Research Rector roared back at it. And jumping from its body, she sheathed her sword, clapped her palms together, then pulled out her gun and charged it while pointing it at the Obsidian Ape.
As soon as she had clapped, the nine discs formed an array around the Obsidian Ape. And now, with her gun in her hand, which was trembling intensely from receiving too much energy, she looked at the Obsidian Ape and screamed fiercely "SONIC CHAMBER OF DOOM!!!"
BOOOOOOM
The explosion was unimaginable, and the sound waves were so powerful that they caused the water to be displaced as drops in mid-air due to having its molecules' bonds severed, at the same time it sent huge water waves in all directions. The world was devastated.
After everything calmed down, the Research Rector was nowhere to be seen. However, there was a figure that was impossible to go unnoticed floating in the ocean, uninjured and unrivaled.
ROAR!!!
The Obsidian Ape roared at the heavens. It seemed furious at the fact that the Research Rector was able to escape, but it didn't try to look for her to chase her, it was too arrogant to do such. Although her attack winded it a little, that was it. It wasn't scratched at all.
Leng Shi and Lei Shi, on the other hand, weren't stupid either and had followed the waves from the Research Rector's attack and had escaped silently. They definitely wouldn't let the chance to escape from the nightmare of meeting the Obsidian Ape to slip pass them. They couldn't tell whether their escape was also permitted by the Obsidian Ape or if it was due to their wits, regardless, they escaped and that's what was important.
"Fuck! That was so intense! Let's do it again!" exclaimed Leng Shi only after traveling a very far distance from the location of the Obsidian Ape.
"You can go ahead" said Lei Shi "I wish you the best of luck" he added in an encouraging tone.
"What kind of brother are you? You didn't even try to convince me not to go" said Leng Shi.
"If you want to be stupid, then go ahead. I wouldn't stop you" replied Lei Shi.
"Hey, you're the stupid one" said Leng Shi fiercely towards Lei Shi.
"I didn't call you stupid. It's just your true stupid self that's revealing himself to you" said Lei Shi posing like a wise hermit.
"You little shit! If anyone is stupid then that it should be you and your stupid idea of wanting to check out the ninth floor" said Leng Shi savagely.
"Hey, that was a great plan" yelled Lei Shi as he tried to defend himself and his plan.
"No, it wasn't! But more importantly, how the fuck did we run into the Obsidian Ape?" questioned Leng Shi.
"It was probably hibernating or sleeping below the seabed, and then the sound waves from the Research Rector and tremors from our fight must've woken it" said Lei Shi.
"Well, that's possible" said Leng Shi
"What nonsense 'that's possible'? That's what fucking happened. I can't be wrong" replied Lei Shi, feeling he was as infallible as the Pope.
