Valkyrie Smash



The hostile ship was gradually approaching the camp. Though it was pointless, Juni kept swinging her bat and launching projectiles only for them to collide with its barrier.

"Alright!" Ichigo said before turning to the red twin-tails. "I've sent a number of drones to the coordinates of Doctor's last location. I made sure to have each one take a different route just in case."

"Good." B3 said then turned to Sitta. "Tell Trenta and JX9 to come back for now."

"Alright…"

Sitta sighed and did as instructed. A few seconds later two Valkyries teleported into the camp.

"Hey, don't you think it's a bad idea for all of us to gather in one place?" JX9 asked.

"You got something in your hair." Trenta said.

Since she was hiding in the trees, JX9 had a few leaves in her aquamarine hair. That much didn't bother her, but when she noticed a spider crawling on one of her pigtails she went into panic mode.

"Kyaaaaa!!!! Get it off me!!!"

"Why don't you try singing for it? Maybe it would leave you alone?" Sitta said, the smirk on her face telling how much she enjoyed the situation.

JX9 cranked her force field up to the maximum causing everything stuck to her to disintegrate. She then turned to her fellow Valkyries who were holding back their laughter and puffed her cheeks.

"What? If you hate bugs so

much then you should've been more careful where you hid yourself." Sitta said.

"And where was I supposed to hide? We are in a jungle goddamn it!"

"Alright you two, it's time to focus." B3 commanded.

[B3, something is happening.]

Just when Trista's warning came in, lights began to flicker around the enemy ship. Several shutters opened and some rather peculiar objects began falling out.

"Are those…" Trenta squinted, her eyes zooming in on the scene.

"Calamities!!?"

The moment JX9 said the words the others formed their weapons and the atmosphere took a drastic change. Eight containers ejected from the their own ship, each containing the second battle armor for each of the Valkyries. As if sensing their presence, the armor sprang to life, its segmented pieces moving with a graceful fluidity. Seamlessly, the armor's silver plating shifted and rearranged, aligning itself perfectly with their limbs. It enveloped them, molding to their bodies like a second skin, each piece locking into place with a satisfying click. The sensation was both empowering and strangely comforting.

The halos over their heads morphed, each taking a different shape. Technically none of the Valkyries needed their second armors at this point, however when donning them their mentality changes completely, showing that they were taking the battle seriously.

[Go.]

On B3's signal, Juni, JX9, Venti and Trenta took off to the sky. Small rectangular shapes began to flicker around each of them and joined to form the proton cannon, the default weapon each of them was used to. The difference is that now they were able to create it using their halos and supply it with inter-dimensional energy so there was no need to carry around several tons of equipment.

[Fire.]

Pressing the trigger, each cannon released a brilliant beam of golden light toward the enemy. The invisible barrier surrounding the enemy ship blocked every last one of them, but the strange objects it ejected exploded into millions of pieces, melting into the air as if they never existed.

A few miraculously survived the onslaught. Upon reaching a certain altitude lines ran across their outer surface, dividing them into parts that snapped out hovering around the main core.

[Did they steal those from the Nephilim?] Sitta asked.

[Probably.]

B3 wasn't too sure, however it seemed to be the most likely conclusion. She couldn't see the Nephilim attacking them now that they were heading for a peace treaty, and the likelihood of all of this being a mistake was very small.

[Those worthless scum...] JX9 cursed, her anger spiking as she prepared to launch another beam. [I'M GONNA PULVERIZE YOU!!!]

Her cannon unfolded and expanded growing to three times its normal size. Runes spawned around her forming several rings that began rotating until it was no longer possible to discern one from the others.

The Calamities seemed to notice the tremendous amount of energy building up around JX9 and set their sights on her. There were almost fifteen left and each launched one of their detached parts like a massive saw that cut through the air with a hum as they headed for the Valkyrie.

[I got this!]

Juni teleported in front of the projectiles. In her hand she held her bat, but its shape was morphing until it became a large broad sword with a jagged edge. Juni swung the sword and its blade split into many parts connected to each other by a thin glowing thread. She dived down and flailed her arm causing the weapon to twist like a whip, slicing through the projectiles with the ease of a hot knife cutting through butter.

[DIE!!!!]

JX9 roared with a voice full of hatred. The night sky flashed white from the blast launched by her cannon. The recoil pushed her back a few meters, and the forest beneath her trembled under the pressure.

The resulting beam was the size of the first Balder's Light Sam accidentally used for the first time. Something like that had the ability to burn half of the continent, but thankfully it was pointed toward the night sky.

The other Valkyries teleported in time leaving the remaining Calamities to burn by the radiating heat alone. The enemy ship must've realized that, even if their barrier manages to block the beam, the blast would end up launching them to outer space. That's why they tried to alter their flight route, even though it was a bit late at this point.

The beam collided with the barrier on the ship's left flank. For a moment it appeared as if the entire craft was swallowed by the light, however a second later it emerged, falling toward the ground like a ball that bounced off a wall. The barrier might've protected it from being incinerated but the impact was strong enough to knock it off course leaving it incapable of adjusting in time.

Even if it appears like the barrier is impenetrable, in the end there is a limit to how much force it can negate. The inside was scrambled from the impact, and if that didn't do the trick then the way it crushed into the forest like a meteor did.
