Tonight the ninja couple would be fiting two very strange animals. One was a sheep known to have dark powers who death just seemed to ignore. The wooly mammal had crawled out of Stella's stomach during its last revival and earned the couple's ire, but now it brought to this battle the Golden Sphere of Seti, an artifact capable of increasing its owner's power fourfold. The sheep had a strange ally, a pig who hardly anyone knew anything about. It was referred to as The Consumer, and it brought with it only the Australian Paralysis Ticks that it carried in its fur.
The two humans knew they would have to be well armed for the fite tonight. Stella had brought with her a Blaze Gun, a weapon capable of firing both bullets and magical fire spells. Her husband, Rain, brought with him a Zwill Crossblade, an odd shaped sword that channeled the wind and could put foes to sleep. Stella also knew many ninja spells, and Rain could manipulate water and lightning. Hopefully that would be enough to combat their supernatural foes.
The sheep appeared first. At first, it was no bigger than a flea, but it grew sporadically into its regular shape. Before it sat the sphere, its power yet to be tapped. The Consumer appeared suddenly beside its partner. He seemed to arrive as smoke, which formed slowly into its anthropomorphic pig form. The pig stood next to the sheep, neither one seeming to care much about the ninjas' arrival. Rain and Stella readied their weapons.
Its time for Rain and Stella to fite the Sheep and The Consumer. It's time for Fite Yer' Mates.
VS.
Rain charged directly towards The Consumer, his crossblade flying directly towards the pig's face. The pig snorted as the ninja approached, and a few of its ticks scurried off of its body. Rain lunged with his sword, but the pig quickly fell to the ground, tripping the running ninja and causing him to land on the fallen pig's hooves. The Consumer tossed Rain against one of the burning barn walls, but Rain quickly shifted into a watery form. Dousing a few of the flames, Rain oozes towards the Consumer in this form. Various small bits of grass are picked up by the water, and so are a few little ticks...
Stella continues opening fire on the sheep, a few bullets landing in the sheep's side. The sheep doesn't seem to notice even as some of its wool is dyed red by its own blood. It just ran towards the orb. Stella disappeared and reappeared directly in the sheep's path. She tries to pull her Blaze Gun for a point blank shot at the sheep's face, but the lanigerous mammal simply pushes her down and walks right over her. The sheep reaches the orb as Stella stands up to dust off the hoof marks.
The woolen creature activates the orb...
The Consumer, meanwhile, is being surrounded by a different orb. The liquid Rain is trying to drown the pig, but the pig manages to hold its breath. Rain begins pushing against different parts of the pig, snapping bones and leaving bruises as the watery ninja tries his best to kill the pig quickly. The pig opens its mouth and begins to drink in the ninja. Rain is not too happy to be sucked into the pig's stomach, but he'd be able to do a lot of damage in there. Rain flows into the pig's body entirely, but is quickly horrified to find out the pig's stomach contents.
Chunks of flesh and metal of his friends and acquaintances. It had been said that the pig might have been feeding on the lost limbs of fiters past, but flowing directly into the chunks of meat that once were your friends is a lot more disturbing than just hearing about it. The Consumer chuckled, realizing that Rain had stumbled upon his older meals, and quickly regurgitated the entire watery ninja. Rain reformed into his human shape and was going to lay into the pig when he heard a shriek from Stella.
The sheep had grown huge and was charging towards Stella wildly. The ninja girl opened fire with her gun, but the bullets failed to slow it. All it did was make flows of blood stream behind the charging ungulate. Rain quickly abandoned his attempt at killing the well-dressed swine and dashed over to help his wife, but he felt something odd. The paralysis ticks who had crawled into ninja's water form now had easy access to his flesh beneath the full-body suit. The ticks bite down, causing parts of the ninja's body to suddenly go stiff.
Rain realized quickly what was happening and turned the parts of his body the ticks had paralyzed into water. A chunk of his arm, chest, and leg fell to the ground as stagnant water. The ticks crawled out of the water and back to their master as Rain limped as best he could to help Stella fite the giant sheep.
Stella had turned invisible to try and avoid the sheep, but the creature still pursued her. She ran around the burning barn as best she could, but the fires were dying. Darkness was starting to take the barn, and Stella bumped right into The Consumer as she fled. The Consumer snorted in glee at the woman's arrival, and Stella opened fire on THIS mammal at point blank range. Bullets tear through the pig's stomach, causing its contents to spill out onto the ground around Stella. Stella screamed in horror as she saw the very same horrors Rain had seen earlier.
The pig woozily wobbled from receiving such a blow, but it hadn't come to help the sheep, it hadn't come to kill Rain. The Consumer came to this battle for only one reason: To find out what Stella's flesh tasted like.
The wounded pig grabbed Stella with his hooves and pulled the female ninja into the darkness. Stella shrieked, but the shrieks were quickly cut off...
The Sheep was busy distracting the injured Rain. Rain was scaling the ungulate's body, stabbing the crossblade into the wooly hide of the beast to gain leverage. The sheep had no way to attack the ninja on its side, but it did try to shake him off. Rain was unable to hear Stella's shriek due to the loud baas of his opponent, so he had no idea she had disappeared.
From the view of the audience, it looked like it was now just Rain vs. the Sheep, but neither Stella or The Consumer had been declared to be KOed.
Gunshots. Flashes of flames. Silhouettes could barely be seen in the darkness. Squishing sounds, chunks of pig fly out of the dark. A call for help. Snorts of both pain and pleasure.
A shriek cut short.
A sickening thud.
The sound of weak footsteps, and the sound of a body being dragged.
A couple ticks scuttle out of the darkness.
A large thud and a groan of wood as something is placed on a table.
Chatter of tiny bugs as they form together into silverware.
A sickening sound of flesh cut open and bones snapped.
Chewing.
Swallowing.
The darkness begins to fade...
Rain looks down from atop the Sheep behemoth. He screams in horror, seeing your wife laying on a table being devoured by a swine can make a man do that. Giving up momentarily on his pursuit to kill the sheep, Rain leaps down and begins hurling lightning bolts at the pig.
All of them hit the pig, sending the pig back away from the open corpse of the poor female ninja. The pig's flesh was burnt to a crisp as Rain repeatedly launched lightning into the pig, tears forming in the ninja's eyes. The pig began snorting, but it was not out of pain. It was laughter. Rain ran up and grabbed the pig by its neck and held it up. For a brief moment, the hurt eyes of the ninja look into the pleased eyes of the pig. The pig never spoke, but Rain somehow heard a message from the mind of The Consumer.
"She tasted terrible."
It ate them. Why not? They looked delicious.
Rain turned to the sheep, his eyes blinded by the tears he was shedding for his fallen bride. The previously paralyzed bits of his body reformed from their watery form and reattached themselves in their proper places.
With his blade freshly stained with the blood of the pig, Rain prepared to take down the sheep; the one who started all of this. The sheep's wounds had healed, and Rain's body was reformed. It was as if their battle had just begun...
Rain could hardly see the sheep from behind the tears, so he quickly seized the tears with his powers and shot them forward. The darts of water tore through the sheep's back leg, causing the beast to kneel before the demigod. Rain charged towards the ruminant while launching thunderbolts at the sheep, but the sheep's wool seemed to absorb it. Out of the sheep's mouth it shot back the stream of electricity, and Rain was slammed to the ground by the shock.
Rain quickly noted that the sheep would not be able to be killed with lightning, but he still had water and his sword. Rain resumed his approach to the sheep, who kicked out with its front hooves. The two hooves kept missing though, since their huge mass made it easy for the ninja to see them coming. The sheep decided to take a new approach, and the two massive front hooves split into thousands of tinier hooves. They extended forward on legs much longer than before and slammed into the ninja, who didn't have time to dodge them all.
Bruises appeared all over Rain's body as he desperately swings at the assaulting legs with his crossblade. Many were severed, but more and more of them kept coming. Rain quickly forms a shield of water around himself and shoots it outward, briefly redirecting the thousand-hoof assault. Now limping again, Rain tried to close the distance, but the hooves were back around him. Rain sighed in exasperation and began hacking off more in his best attempt to protect himself, but after severing a certain hoof, he noticed something odd. The other hooves fell down and retreated back into the sheep's body, forming into the two front hooves once more, albeit bloody and full of cuts. The sheep's eyes closed, and a light snore was heard.
The Zwill Crossblade had inflicted sleep! No wonder the narrator was so careful to constantly mention that blade's aspect!
Rain looked relieved, but he hadn't forgot his mission. Quickly, he scaled the massive sheep once more, this time using only the sheep's own wool to climb it so he didn't risk waking it with pain. Rain climbed to the top and approached the head of the sleeping ruminant with silent footsteps. He hefted his crossblade up and slammed it into the sheep's skull!
But it only got as far as the skull. Something was stopping it from going deeper. Out of the open wound, the ticks began to crawl out droves. A plethora of them were holding the blade in place with their mandibles as the others charged towards Rain. Rain abandoned his crossblade bone-deep in the sheep's head and leaped off. The ticks begin to dig their feet into the sheep's fur, and the sheep is awoken by the pain.
The Sheep stands back up, its back leg now mended by having its nerve replaced with ticks. Those ticks can just be whatever they want to be, huh? A bit inspiring if it wasn't so horrifying.
The sheep looked towards the unarmed Rain, who was now retreating to Stella's corpse. Briefly asking forgiveness of his dead wife, he took the gun from her body. He briefly considered kissing it on the forehead, but parts of it were broken open and... well I'm sure you can imagine by yourself how terrible her corpse looks after a pig ate it with tick silverware, so let's move on...
Rain aimed the gun at the sheep's head and opened fire. Bullets tore into both of the sheep's eyes, replacing the beady black orbs with huge clusters of lead. The ticks on its fur went to work removing the bullets though, prying them free of the eyes and quickly hooking themselves in as replacement eyes for the sheep, yanking optic nerves to make rudimentary images of the fite. It looked a bit like stick figures to the sheep, but it didn't need to see too much to know where to attack. The sheep jumped forward and pinned the ninja with its front hoof, but more bullets tore into it.
The sheep bleated in pain and backed off quickly. The ticks did their best to clean up, but the sheep was losing too much blood too quickly. It didn't help that it tanked so many gunshots earlier against Stella either. The sheep was dying, and Rain could tell. Rain stood up and slowly walked up to gargantuan ungulate. Two darts of water shot the front hooves and floored the sheep, and Rain aimed directly into the sheep's face.
"Die, you son of a bitch."
Rain was about to pull the trigger, but his hand suddenly changed... into a cloven hoof. The gun fell from his hand. His other hand was now a hoof. A strange but familiar smoke filled the entire barn as his body continued shifting...
Fur.
A snout.
Droopy ears.
Hooves for feet.
A twisted tail.
Rain was shifting into a pig-like form akin to the Consumer's. The sheep looked up at the transforming Rain, whose gut was growing outwards. The sheep pulled itself up into a sit. The massive sheep, its wounds barely blocked from spilling the rest of its lifeblood, reached forward and lifted the porcine ninja up. Rain did not scream, he snorted.
The sheep's powerful hooves crushed the skull of Rain easily.
