Here's something I've been working on.
I stood on the tower, looking over the Grimm invasion with my ki echolocation. The men were shooting every single last one of them. Two rows on the ground and one on the wall. They were doing a decent job of holding them back, but the horde was never-ending and every time there was a Grimm that was more durable than your average Beowulf, they had to focus fire on it and the Grimm got closer and closer. Right now? They were a mere 20 meters away.
"Are you going to help them?" Matilda asked.
"Hm?" I said. "Oh. Oh yeah, sure, whatever. In a minute, ok?"
"Hmm," Matilda said.
The men started shouting at each other. "How long is this wave gonna last!?"
"Grimm waves can last up to 5-30 minutes! Depends on how many emotions there are! Just hold out! We can last up to 15 minutes with the guns, men, and ammo we have!" a man wearing glasses replied.
"What if it takes longer!?"
"Ummm…"
"It won't!" A taller man with red ki and a dog tail in the center said. "There weren't a lot of negative emotions back in the town! We'll be fine!"
The men continued shooting until they ran out of ammo, and the second row of men took to firing while the first row reloaded their guns.
"It's been a minute," Matilda said.
I sighed. "It was a figure of speech, Matilda."
"Oh, right." She cleared...whatever she had. "I knew that, but what are you waiting for?"
"I'm waiting for the right time!" I said.
The men continued to fire into the crowd of Grimm. One of them shouted, "How long has it been!?"
One man answered. "11 minutes!"
"So we only have 4 minutes left!?"
"Don't panic!" The dark-skinned dog man ordered. "The Grimm thrives and feeds off of panic! these are high-quality dust bullets, so good it's magical! Just stay calm, and we'll pull through!"
"Why can't you help them now!?" Matilda asked for the final time.
"It wouldn't be cool if I saved them now! I have to make this look like a last minute save! It's the only way I'll look like the best hero!" I told her.
"That's really selfish."
"Just wait, this is gonna be the Ultimate save."
"I thought your name wasn't Ultimate anymore," Matilda said.
"Shhh!" I put my pointer finger to my lips. "Just watch!"
The third row ran after ammo after a minute and the third row went to reload as the first row went to reload. Until one of the men, the one that was a little fatter than the others, shouted, "no ammo!"
"WHAT!? The dark skinned dog man said.
"No ammo! We spent the entire two minutes trying to look for some!"
"AND YOU DIDN'T THINK TO TELL ME!?" The dark skinned dog man shouted.
"We thought it would be here! Third row!?"
"Nothing!"
"Second!?"
"Nothing here!"
"You told us that we had 15 minutes!" The fat man screamed. "What happened to that!?"
"I don't know! I...I don't understand...I was sure we had 15 minutes!"
And as the Grimm finally closed the distance, and the men cowered in fear. I threw away the ammo bag.
"What did you just throw away?" Matilda asked.
"Nothing important," I told her.
I cracked my neck. "Ok...time for Red to shine."
I jumped off the building; the wind blowing in my hair, and I landed in a three-point landing. I looked up from the ground and ran as fast as I could to the entrance of the town; the wind blowing even more than when he was falling, and getting there in less than a second. I ran up the wall. When I reached the end, I grabbed the wall hard enough that it broke. Stopping himself from skyrocketing into the air, the third row of men noticed him.
"What the hell!?" One of them shouted.
"Who's the kid?" Another one shouted.
I walked to the end of the wall and saw the Grimm attacking the men. I looked at their vital signs with my tech. No one was dead.
Good. Maybe this means Matilda will stay off my back.
I looked at the men and said, "I'm the best huntsmen you'll ever meet."
I jumped off the wall and landed. The Grimm all looked at him as I grinned."Go ahead...try to kill me."
The Grimm lunged at me, and he leaped an enormous distance above the Grimm in front of him. Then he landed on top of one and two others came after me. I immediately took out my twin pistols and fired at the Grimm in front and behind him, the bullets from the gun I designed annihilating the two Grimm easily. I had to dig my feet into the ground to prevent himself from flying away, but the gun did its job. He tried to fire at a third Grimm, but the Grimm, that I was on top of, attacked and I had to jump off of him and fire in my general direction. But he missed him.
After I jumped backward, I landed on the wall and I jumped off of it with super speed, sending him flying, spiraling all the way to the Grimm. When I reached them, I punched the ground, creating a giant crater. Sending Grimm into the air and away from him.
The other Grimm came at him in the crater. So I started firing at the closest ones in a quick fashion, spinning and turning and twisting to kill the closest to him. The powerful handguns were doing an excellent job of destroying the Grimm, but the more I fired, the more came, soon I was firing at five Grimm a second. Eventually one came close enough to attack and I had to backflip several times to get away, the last one taking him a great distance away from the Grimm. I pulled the triggers of my guns to fire again.
No ammo.
A wolf Grimm went to swipe at him with my claw and I grabbed to break my arm, but the Grimm then attacked rapidly, taking him by surprise and hitting him several times. The wolf Grimm hit him one last time to send him flying. When I got on my feet, I ran at the Grimm to punch it away, but a bear Grimm grabbed him with its mouth and shook him around. I tried to escape its grip by pulling my arm off and punching it, but it was shaking him around violently. The Grimm's teeth were so sharp and its bite force so strong, it was penetrating my indestructible, incredible skin. It slammed him into the ground, and I knew I had to get away, so I used my super strength and speed to jump away, to spring myself away from Grimm, but I brought it with me'cause it wouldn't let go.
Fortunately, the Grimm eventually let go of my hold on me to steady himself while flying across the battlefield. I dug my fingers into the ground like with the wall to stop myself before the Grimm could.
"Are you ok!?" Matilda asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I answered. "Nothing that regeneration can't fix, right?"
"Your arm is bleeding from the bite!" Matilda lied.
" My regeneration will take care of it." I…also lied? I mean, shut up, what do you know? "I just have to focus my ki to speed it up and Oh shit!"
A wolf Grimm attacked me, but I avoided the blows because of my super speed, backing away from the I quickly went to reload my guns at super speeds. When I did, another Wolf Grimm came to attack and swiped at him with my claw. I decided to try and grab it again, because this time I was ready for anything the wolf Grimm could throw at me, but I was attacked from behind, launching him into the air. I saw it was another Wolf Grimm that launched him and when I went to shoot at him, the first wolf Grimm jumped and attacked him, sending him flying. I landed on another bear Grimm, who pitched up my whole body with my teeth and started shaking him, crunching him, and tearing my torso, giving him a sharp pain that caused him to grit my teeth so hard they cracked.
"JOEY!!" Matilda shouted.
"I'M FINE! I'M FINE!!" I shouted back
"NO, YOU'RE NOT! HE'S KILLING YOU!!" Matilda screamed.
"DON'T...I JUST...I JUST NEED TO GET OUT OF THIS!!" I suggested
"I KNEW WE SHOULDN'T HAVE COME HERE!!"
"MATILDA!! THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO- I gasped. He punctured a lung.
"JOEY!" Matilda shouted again. "SHOOT HIS EYE! SHOOT HIS EYE!"
I did what she said and shot this eye. The Grimm disappeared in a puff of smoke and I fell on the ground. my heart was pumping and my head was on fire. I regenerated the wounds as the Grimm got closer. They were 20 meters away.
"Come on...come on." I whispered
10 meters.
"So close..."
5 meters.
"Just a few...more...veins…"
The Grimm were literally on top of me.
And I was fully regenerated.
And the pain was gone.
"Fuck yes," I whispered.
I jumped up immediately backwards and turned my guns into their alternate form: shotguns.
I landed gracefully. "Ok," I said, "let's try this ag…Where are all the Grimm?"
"WE'RE SAVED!!" One man said.
The rows of men cheered for the huntsman.
No, not for me. Some bum fuck with a cross on his neck, wearing a gray shirt and black pants. With a red clock around his…
You know what? Fuck it.
"WHAT THE FUCK!?" I said, walking up to the men. "I WAS THE ONE THAT STARTED THE FIGHT!! I WAS HERE FIRST!! YOU SHOULD BE WORSHIPPING ME!!"
The men stared at him,
"We don't worship huntsmen and hunts-"
I half groaned, half sighed. "JUST FORGET IT!! YOU CUM-GULPING, SHIT-EATING PANSIES!!"
I jumped away and formed a cloud with nanotechnology, and flew away.
and in case you're wondering. No, this is not a story about a superhero anymore, or a story about Ultimate.
This is a story about Red.
One of the Best huntsmen of all time.
