3: The rescue begins

An explosion occurred as the rocket landed close to the Nightmare Creatures. They hissed and roared, spotting their new enemies. "Nightmare Creatures on the outside of the wall, rip them apart, we will deal with the tanks." said Fryer. The Nightmare Creatures ran at the trees where the soldiers were. "Saigomade keiiwohyōsuru!" yelled Tokashi, firing a hook from the A.M.G into the top of the tree. He leapt from the branches and drew a sword. Two Nightmare Creatures jumped at him but were quickly sliced in two. He flicked the trigger switch, and he was reeled higher into the tree.

This method allowed the soldiers to keep a safe distance from the Nightmare Creatures, whilst fighting them. The one determined enough, would attempt to go after their enemy, which would lead to them being sliced apart.

The Creatures attempted to get to the soldiers, but as they got closer, they were quickly dismembered. "Alright, you ugly rats, come at me." Call Hans, jumping down to the ground. Three Nightmare Creatures ran at him. He ducked as the first lunged at him and sliced it in two. The second swung its claws at him, which in result, its arm was severed and it was decapitated. "Do you want to end up like them?" Hans asked the last. It charged but Hans sliced lengthwise in two, before reeling himself back into the tree tops.

"I need a team to follow me. we need to get over the wall." "If try get close to the wall, Nightmare will literally crush us." said Reo. "That is why you are here, Kitagawa." Reo realised what he had to do and inhaled. "We have never fought an actual opponent before." he said. "It can't be any different to usual fighting."

Nightmare leapt over the wall and turned towards the tanks. "Kitagawa, go. Now!" said Tokashi. Reo fired a A.M.G hook into a nearby tree and pulled himself forward. He fired a second hook, gaining momentum. "STORMBRINGER!" he yelled. There was a loud hissing noise and steam emitted from his arms, legs and back. A massive cloud formed around him and his arms and legs were wrapped in what looked like a thick gas. Tentacle like structures, made of the same "gas" branched from his back and formed a structure around him. "Here we go, old friend." he said as the gas cloud started taking a shape. Nightmare turned towards it. The cloud closed in on itself and a giant humanoid figure made out of the same gas/steam substance. Its red eyes fixing on Nightmare.

"So this is Stormbringer." said Fryer. Stormbringer roared loudly. "Okay, ready when you are." said Reo as he was correctly suspended in the structure within Stormbringer. "Let's move now." Said Tokashi. He and a group of soldiers landed on the tanks and they moved towards the Outposts wall-gate. Stormbringer and Nightmare locked each other in a death stare.

To be continued...
