From above, a makeshift hovercraft flies above the ship.

  “OVER THERE!!!” yelled the Berserkers, pointing at the ship above them.

  There stood four humorous figures…

  Ladybug, a tall and powerful character who looks just like Beatle but with inverted colors. He is also 17 feet tall. His star is on his gut. Ladybug smiled and just flew around, evading the bullets with relative ease and even landing on a trampoline randomly placed on the ship’s main deck before landing back on his feet.

  “I told you that trampoline was a bad idea!” yelled one soldier to another, where both of them would get shot by Ladybug.

  Then we have Inchworm, a 14-foot-tall soldier of Beatle who wears green armor. He has green overalls, blue goggles that glow upon every syllable he speaks, and a star on his forehead. He peculiarly has a green straw hat on his head. He began stretching and enveloping the sky, capturing and killing dozens of Berserkers. “You like that? That’s the smell of Dubai, bitches!!!”

  We then have Tophbee, a yellow little fella who is 10 feet tall. He uniquely has a yellow head, two antennae like a honeybee’s, tiny bee-like wings, and a small, blocky body. He has a mask that makes him look like a bee. He smiles and shoots stingers at each of the soldiers that poisoning each of them. He buzzes his wings and lands before them. “I have come to free the Philippines, eat Filipino-style fried chicken again, and kick some serious ass.”

  Then, a little girl smiled, still on the ship, trying to navigate homing missiles each killing many of the Berserkers. Each explosion was utterly whimsical and beautiful, with colorful smoke spraying and spouting into the atmosphere.

  Mars just stared at the heroes, defeating so many of the Berserkers.

  Tophbee smiles and charges into the battle. “Guys! Getting F’d in the A over here!” he yelled before being tackled by Prince Rasputin, who freezes his face. He kicks the lieutenant away and pulls the ice off. “Gross!”

  Sabbath sighs. “Boys! Aim for their heads! WHERE is Inchworm?”

  Inchworm lands next to her. “Sorry. Running a bit of traffic!” Inchworm slams his fist into a soldier, nearly decapitating Sabbath by stretching his arm.

  Sabbath scoffs. “WHERE IS THE SAINT KING!?!?”

  Cheapshot then shoots at her, only for Billy to block the bullet with her own, lodging into it.

  Cheapshot smiles, creeping above her and bending around like a disgusting spider. “Hey hey hey!”

  Billy bravely keeps on shooting at Cheapshot, who merely flicks the bullets away with needles.

  Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

  Meanwhile, Ladybug is being protected essentially by the plagues of flying fish and dragonflies that flew by, each blocking the bullets about to kill him.

  One Berserker even tries to shoot him, but he misses, and the wing of the flying fish reflects the beam back into his face, killing the former.

  Ladybug sighs, walking around while enemies just killed themselves around him.

  Death Leopard joins in, humorously trying to activate his mech suit by slapping that same device from earlier.

  Beatle looks at a Berserker about to kill them both as he turns to them. “Leopard, do something.”

  “I’m TRYING!!! THIS THING WON’T-!!!” Suddenly, Death Leopard manages to activate his suit and pummel the Berserker, crushing his head.

  Beatle sighs and climbs on his back. “COME ON!!!”

  Death Leopard yells. “WOOOOOOO!!!” Before slamming his fists at their enemies over and over again, killing most.

  Sabbath roars, blasting at most of the soldiers with her rifle and her feathers, each killing the soldiers with a single shot, only to face Diana, who zooms before her.

  Diana just tilts her head upon seeing Sabbath.

  Sabbath points her blaster at her, seeing the pentagram on her shoulder. She dodges at each fired shot, effectively moving so quickly that she didn’t even see her make a move, rather practically teleporting away from the bullets.

  Inchworm dodges another strike and stretches his fist to knock another one out. He envelops Tophbee with his body, turning himself into a rubbery armor. Tophbee, wearing Inchworm, proceeds to tackle soldiers together with his ally.

  Suddenly, Mars grabs Beatle off of Death Leopard’s mechsuit’s back, hammering him and pinning him to the wall.

  Beatle coughs and chokes, trying to break free.

  Mars just stares at him, menacingly. His crimson armor glimmered upon each colorful bomb. “Listen, Beatle. There is no place for your kind in this world anymore. You seriously brought your strongest lieutenants here? And for what? For them to die?”

  Beatle cleverly grabs another shard from earlier and stabs him in the shoulder with it, but Mars just pauses, growls, and takes out a vambrace blade from his arm, which vibrates. “Any last words, Saint King?”

  “Last words really aren’t my thing…” Beatle weaves his head away as Death Leopard dropkicks Mars offboard the ship.

  Diana’s eyes widen with horror and worrisome heavy breathing.. She follows after her father, zooming into the ocean.

  Black Sabbath’s eyes widen. She began to spin. “LET’S GET OUTTA HERE!!! VANISH INTO THIN AIR, CRUSADERS!!!”

  And, all seven of them vanished in thin air, leaving nothing but ashes.

  So did the ship from above.

  Diana grabs onto the ship’s edge and pulls her father out of the ocean, crawling up exhausted from the fight.

  Mars is angered as thousands more Berserkers begin landing from Manila.

  Mars pats his daughter’s head before standing up. “The Crusaders have escaped… The barrier is beginning to close once more. If we get stuck here, we WILL BE STRANDED!!! I command all of you to DESTROY THE SAINT KING AND THE CRUSADERS!!! TO THE THIRD TEMPLE!!!”

  The Berserkers cheered, raising their fists and shaking their heads like animals.

  Mars blasted into the sky. “ALL HAIL… MORNINGSTAAAAAR!!!”

  They all yelled “HAIL, HAIL, HAIL!!!” while shooting into the sky.

  ands of innocent people away.
