Shattering Humanity-Chapter 426: Shelly’s Do-si-do With A 2nd Generation DæMon: "Round One"

Chapter 426: Shelly’s Do-si-do With A 2nd Generation DæMon: "Round One"

"While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; my our word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth." -John 17:12-19

Male Voice: "Mr. President.

After 50 years we have done an investigation on this woman, and it appears as if she has not aged in the entire time. Not only that, her physical abilities and mental capabilities haven’t changed either.

What’s also alarming, is that every agent we’ve had follow her has reported saying she looks directly at them, at whatever distance they are from her, as if knowing she is being watched.

Even our best intelligence investigators say they eventually end up losing track of her as if she can ’vanish out of thin air’.

As of today, we are hereby considering Jessica Jameson, or ’Jesse James’, a threat to public safety, and she should be seen as a domestic terrorist until we find out the technology that she is using to keep her that way."

...

Under the cloudy grey skies, a slight Atlantic breeze pairs perfectly with the SeiõrSnow as the mystical condensation continues to gently fall into the calm waves of the late afternoon ocean waters.

A small group of seagulls fly above and land softly, bobbing with the water.

Almost immediately scaring them off is the close by onomatopoeic cutting of the air from fists, swinging legs, and weapons accompanied by the splashes from landing steps made by two fighters covered in their matching SanguineSoulSeiõrShield.

However, the energy/magic surrounding the pink haired Sheriff swinging her metal staff is visibly more prominent compared to the ever trusted Takamagahara Ace with her gifted Seax gripped between her teeth.

Both girls smiling in the midst of their most vicious fight ever as every air splitting punch, kick, and swing is blocked or dodged by the other highly skilled, mentally locked in competitor.

Slightly damp Shelly uses the bottom of her foot to stop an incoming metal pole strike. Using it as a base she flips herself to gain seperation and lands on the surface, but immediately has to dodge the enemy’s attack now coming from behind.

Shelly(thinking): *She’s faster than before!*

No longer wasting extra energy to cover her staff in the hot Seiõr, Jesse James swings the retractable metal but Shelly twists her body and manages to get her Seax to glide down the weapon creating sparks.

She closes distance and spins around until the women are back to back. Shelly throws a backwards elbow but it whiffs and she is barely able to dodge a leg sweep from below.

Unfortunately, while she is off her feet, Shelly’s protected chest is hit with a rising dropkick from the bottom of the Sheriff’s cowboy boots.

The force of the kick sends Shelly rocketing upwards until her body eventually passes the clouds.

Shelly(thinking): *Without Madame Fryer...!*

Unfortunately, too late to realize her mistake Shelly doesn’t have enough time to escape the bear hug of her opponent, Jesse James.

From behind, the cackling Sheriff wraps Shelly up as the two of them begin to arc back towards the ocean.

Struggling, the Takamagahara Ace passes through the thick clouds and can now see the blue ocean water getting closer and closer.

Shelly: "Let me go!

I know you can’t fly either!"

Without an answer, Jesse James giggles to herself as the two women both pass the terminal velocity for the average human and begin to spin like a top.

Soon, both women hit the ocean with a giant *SPLASH!* that makes it "rain" droplets of the salt water back down for a few moments before all is silent again except for the light waves.

After a brief moment, someone shoots out from the water.

Landing on her soaked black sneakers, her hair dripping, a few cut marks on her no longer smiling face, Shelly scans the area.

Sensing a new danger she spins herself to try and meet her quick opponent’s thrown fist with the black blade secured in her mouth.

To her absolute surprise, coming down on her is a gnashing great white shark.

Being held by the tail, swung like a stuffed toy or pillow by the laughing pink 2nd Generation.

Shelly just manages to dodge the mouth of the unfortunate beast as it hits the surface of the water and it explodes from the impact.

The surface around is red with blood and with the tail still in her grip, the insane Sheriff takes a bite out of the raw shark tail. Swallowing the chewed on piece and carelessly tossing the rest directly at Shelly before the Valkyrie descendant can close in on an attack.

In reaction, the blonde uses her Seax to slice through the chunk of dead marine life but on the other side she is instantly met with four knuckles from Jesse James.

Seemingly outmatched, Shelly is hit by a ravenous juggling air combo that sends her airborne again. The beating ultimately ends after the still giggling Sheriff grabs Shelly’s single golden braid of hair and uses it to spin toss the ’reincarnate of Skalmönd’.

Trying to stop her momentum, the bottom of Shelly’s SanguineSoulSeiõrShield covered sneakers skip off the ocean’s surface until she comes to a complete stop.

Taking deep breaths with her teeth still chomped down on the grip of her Seax, Shelly quickly removes it with her left hand and blocks an incoming metal staff swing.

However, Jesse James’ suddenly retracts her staff into her left fist. Then the right hand grabs at Shelly’s collar, pulling her in and a clean haymaker lands from the Sheriff’s metal packed left fist.

The impact separates moisture from the close by surrounding air and the force of the punch sends Shelly rocketing across the water with a few splashes.

The softly cackling 2nd Generation stomps down on the surface as she uncontrollably chuckles to herself while standing alone on the Atlantic Ocean.

Impressively, Shelly jumps back up to her feet, Seax in hand, and she spits a bit of blood into the water beneath her feet.

Shelly: "Is that it?

I was curious to see exactly how much stronger you are with that extra power you’ve been hiding.

Luckily for me it ain’t that much of a difference."

The smirk returns back on her scratched, but still majestically beautiful face.

No sooner, her afterimage disappears.

From behind Jesse James, and with enough speed to complete one full rotation, Shelly throws a spinning side leg kick that is unfortunately caught by both hands of the chuckling Sheriff with her retracted metal staff hanging out the side of her mouth, like a cigar.

With the absolutely abnormal strength of a Valkyrie blooded DæMon, Jesse James swings Shelly around and the wincing blonde is slammed, and dragged across the surface of the water. Unable to get loose from the enemy grasps.

The giggling Sheriff skips playfully across the ocean surface using Shelly like a ribbon, dragging and slamming her down.

Then finally, with the shores of land in the visible horizon, the giggles turn back into laughing and with Shelly still in her grip, Jesse James spins a total of a dozen times, gaining momentum with each spin until she releases her grip and sends Shelly skyrocketing towards the available "rock".

Just like a golden/pink meteor, Shelly sails through the sky until she eventually flies into the dense trees on the outskirts of the body of land.

[Nantucket, Vinland]

After knocking down a few large trees and leaving a long indents crater in the ground from where she landed Shelly, with her SanguineSeiõr still flaring, gets back up and brushed herself off.

Shelly(thinking): *It’ll be kismet if we can catch her off guard. Madame Fryer should be close, but if I can sense her specific Seiõr getting closer and closer, then that bitch can too.

What I need to find out is where she got this new extension of her power came from.*

Falling from the sky, through the leaves and branches, her cowboy opponent falls with a ground shaking, small crater creating landing.

Both girls smile at the other again. Shelly is clearly more damaged, but not even close to finished.

Shelly: "Okay, I’ll give you round one..."

Her blue eyes shimmer and slightly glow as they sink into a confident Below Sanpaku.

Shelly: "...but it’s time for round two!"
