Chapter 3 - The fight with Giriko

Justin Law, Maka and her partner Soul were now standing toe to toe with Giriko, one of the last survivors of the Arachnophobia organisation. The three (or rather four since soul is in his weapon mode) stood waiting for someone to make the first move. A bitter silence echoed through the town as the wind churned up dust and sand.[br]
[br]
It would be Giriko that would make the first move by charging at Justin with his Saw Foot attack, it was easy for Justin to avoid but Giriko quickly moved again to try and kill him, needless to say Giriko seemed to be paying little attention to Maka at all which was perfect as Maka could take the time to summon forth her anit-demon wavelength.[br]
“You ready Soul” Asked Maka[br]
“Need you ask that” Soul replied[br]
Maka just nodded as to say lets do this[br]
“SOUL RESONANCE” the two shouted in unison as the began to merge their soul wavelengths together into one powerful force, just like that Soul turned from his traditional Scythe form into the Demon Hunter Scythe.[br]
[br]
Giriko realised that if something wasn’t done Maka would have the ability to finally kill him, but he already had his hands full with Justin so he was forced to call out the big guns.[br]
Giriko dodged Justin’s attacks just enough to have enough time to but his fingers to his mouth and bellow a whistle that could be heard from afar.[br]
Both Maka and Justin seemed to be somewhat taken aback from this drastic action but one thing was for sure something big was going to happen, they felt it.[br]
[br]
Just then a huge Golem crashed through the frail wooden buildings and tried to crush Maka and Justin, but they instantly manoeuvred themselves out of its path[br]
“Like my newest creation? I hope you do cause he not aint taking shoot from anyone” Giriko taunted feeling triumphant in his golem’s surprise attack[br]
The Golem was more or less the same as any other of Giriko’s giant golems but this one was bigger and much rock solid then the rest “I made this little guy using the toughest material in the earth so not even your best attacks will break him” boasted Giriko[br]
[br]
Well this is not good, now we have to deal with this thing Maka thought bitterly[br]
“Maka I want you to pay attention” Justin ordered “I’ll take care of Giriko while you take the Golem”[br]
You sure we can bring it down” Maka questioned[br]
By this point Justin’s earplugs were no longer connected to his head so he was able to reply “Yes you can, cause I believe in you”[br]
With that said Justin lunged forward to Giriko hoping to make the battle end quickly[br]
“Come on then “Father” lets see how tough you are with out your little back up” taunted Giriko as he once again clashed with his rival[br]
[br]
While Justin was battling away Maka was stuck with the leviathan of a golem[br]
“Think we can win” Maka questioned Soul[br]
“You heard what Justin said right? If he thinks we can win then we will. Besides we’ve got no choice since he busy over there” Encouraged Soul[br]
Maka just smiled but quickly got serious again as she stood before the towering giant[br]
Maka charged at the Golem hoping speed would be key to victory and as predicted, the golem though sturdy and tough was undeniably slow as it clumsily tried to smash Maka into the ground with its fists.[br]
I’ve got to knock him down somehow, maybe if I go for the legs first that will make him go crashing down [br]
Maka using her agility to manoeuvre around the Golems massive bulk went to cut away its legs but her attack only deflected off it[br]
“What?!” gasped Maka as the golem gave her an almighty kick that sent her flying into the rubble of what was once a set of houses. Maka was then out cold from the blow and Soul couldn’t get out of his weapon mode as he was trapped under the rubble.[br]
[br]
With Maka and Soul out of commission the Golem then moved (slowly) to help his master who was busy with Justin Law in a deadlock[br]
“Seems like the girl is done for and now you will be too” Gloated Giriko as he broke the deadlock[br]
“Not good” Justin muttered to himself as the Golem stood over him[br]
[br]
While all this was going on the three kids that Justin had encountered earlier were watching the battle from a distance[br]
“Shouldn’t we help them?” Asked the smallest[br]
“And do what? We’ll only get in the way and get killed” the eldest replied[br]
The three seems helpless as they watched their possible saviour from the madman that was Giriko[br]
[br]
“MAKA OI MAKA, WAKE UP” Soul pleaded as he tried desperately to wake Maka with mere shouting alone. Oddly enough this method of awakening was having an effect[br]
Maka stirred and opened her eyes only to see the Justin was now in the grip of the Golem and Giriko making fun of him for his defeat[br]
“Justin?!” Maka gasped[br]
“Your finally awake huh? Then come on lets get out there” Soul demanded[br]
“Right” Agreed Maka as she pulled Soul free from his wooden prison in the rubble. But before she could help Giriko three kids appeared out of nowhere[br]
[br]
“I’m going to enjoy this moment. The moment of me finally killing you” Giriko said full the triumph in his voice[br]
“NNNOOOOO” A voice boomed[br]
“What the hell?” Giriko exasperated as three pairs of hands grabbed him trying to stop him from killing Justin[br]
“Don’t kill him you evil man” the kids said in unison[br]
“Well well I was right there are survivors. Well not for long” Giriko taunted as he activated Chain attack, which acted as a deadly body armour. Needless to say the kids had no chance in winning let alone living against this attack. Their bodies were cut apart and dissipated leaving only three lonely souls in their place.[br]
“Goody” Giriko said pleased with himself “More souls for me” As he said that he grabbed the three souls and devoured them whole. Suddenly an influx of power surged through him. After the power surge Giriko started laughing as he was now that little bit stronger.[br]
[br]
“YOU BASTARD” Maka shouted with a thunderous voice “How could you do that to those kids?!”[br]
“Why not?” Giriko challenged[br]
“You…..you…..I will never let you live after what you just done. I’m taking your soul for this” Maka said in a mixture of fury and sorrow[br]
“Come on then dog, I’ll make sure you’ll see them real soon” Giriko smirked as the stampeded towards her[br]
“Soul?” Maka asked[br]
“Got it” replied Soul[br]
“SOUL RESONACE” The two once again powered up again and Soul again turned into his Demon hunter Scythe[br]
“You can never win” Giriko announced as he catapulted himself closer to Maka[br]
Maka had the face of pure anger and determination and charged forward as well to finish the battle once and for all[br]
The two were poised to kill the other in one final attack and the victor would only be determined by who was faster to act and react in a classic samurai duel ending[br]
[br]
The two clashed[br]
[br]
They stood opposite each other back turned[br]
[br]
“Demon hunter” Maka spoke out[br]
[br]
Suddenly Giriko’s body began to break apart and his body disappeared leaving his soul floating were his body once stood[br]
After Giriko vanished the Golem he had created broke apart as well releasing Justin Law in the process[br]
And thus the battle was over and Giriko was no more[br]
