Mchi first hurled his de at the troll who was still holding on to Opal after he had already asked him to put her down.


    Tightening his grip on one of his des, he hurled the thick cleaver-like short sword at the thick arm holding onto his friend.


    The de''s edge sailed through meat, tendons, and bone as if they were all made of warm butter.


    The thick arm holding up Opal came tumbling down to the ground along with an inhuman deluge of blood that only barely missed her.


    The chains of Mchi''s weapon lengthened themselves extraordinarily, and with his telekic powers working in tandem with them, they became even more deadly than normal.


    With the first troll still reeling from having his arm cut off, the ded weapon wrapped around his fat neck almost as if it had a mind of it''s own.


    Using his own Herculean strength, Mchi yanked hard on the chain and pulled the massive troll clear off his feet and barreling toward him.


    "UWAAAAHHH!!"


    "I asked you nicely."


    Mchi raised his leg up with an absolutely unorthodox level of flexibility.


    The moment that the troll came within striking range, he buried his heel into the skull of the troll with tremendous force and speed.


    Even though troll bones are notoriously harder than even concrete, Mchi broke through it as if it were no more than an eggshell.


    He ignored the dark blood that sttered onto his feet and the bottom of his pants and simply unwrapped his weapon from around the neck of the now unmoving troll.


    "Bastard!"


    "You''ll pay!"


    Two more trolls lunged at Mchi from opposite sides of the road.


    He leapt up into the air to avoid being sandwiched between the two hulking piles of muscle.


    Because the two ogres were unable to stop their momentum on a dime, they ended up mming against each other rather hard and briefly losing their bnce.


    In the air, Mchi changed his weapon into a long gold and silver spear with a de on both ends.


    While the trolls were still in close proximity to one another, Mchi hurled his spear at the trolls the moment that their hearts lined up.


    Twin holes were blown through their bodies and the two of them fell overically, one right on top of the other.


    "Gotcha!"


    One troll was able to get the drop on Mchi from behind, and trapped his body between his unnaturallyrge hands.


    However, this would unknowingly prove to be his undoing.


    Mchi opened his mouth so widely that he nearly unhinged his jaw, and bit the troll''s exposed flesh with his pointed fangs.


    "Agh! You little shit!"


    Frustrated from the pain, the troll hurled Mchi aside in the same manner that a kid would flick a booger.


    However, not long after tossing him away, the troll began to feel really sick.


    His entire body became hot and easily irritable, almost as if the air itself was causing it to break out intorge, disgusting boils.


    "Y-You bastard! What did you do to me...?!"


    Through what was bing a worsening double vision, the troll could only manage to make out the sight of a very angry Mchi flying right back towards his face.


    But the strangest thing was, he had no recollection of anything that happened afterwards.


    Everything just went dark.


    He would never know that his enemy flew so fast and with so much power behind him, that he actually punched through his head like a bullet and emerged from the other side covered in blood and grey matter.


    As Mchinded on the ground, he ced a hand on his own head to stop it from hurting.


    "So... there are more of you. A lot more. Good to know." Mchi sidestepped the tumbling body of the most recent troll to be felled.


    He looked back with cold, empty eyes and saw that there were only two trolls left standing.


    After the quick way that he had dispatch the previous four, it was clear to see that both of them were bing increasingly nervous about following theirrades into an early grave.


    Now is the moment where an individuals flight or flight usuallyes in as ast ditch effort of self preservation.


    Where one changed back into a human and started running, another lifted up arge chunk of concrete and swung it like a club with the intent to crush Mchi.


    With a single thought, the N''Kai brought his weapon back to him from it''s ce in the ground.


    This time, he had it take the form of two silver nged maces with short wooden handles wrapped in ck leather straps.


    With the troll charging at him recklessly, Mchi saw any number of openings that he could exploit.


    Running at only a moderate speed to meet his opponent, he casually ducked underneath the swinging piece of concrete that was aimed to take his head off and struck the knee of the giant with as much force as he could muster.


    Due to not only his strength but the uncanny potency of his weapon, Mchi ended up blowing apart the trolls entire left leg to such an unrecognizable degree that it''s bones were crushed.


    He performed a baseball slide to safety just as the beast came tumbling onto one knee and roaring with pain.


    Just before Mchi could finish the job properly, Manda, Gwiya, Onini, and Vritra all shot out from behind his back and bit the troll in various ces.


    Unlike Mchi''s body which contains a weaker, slower acting poison, the venom the snakeheads produce works twice as fast and is drastically more unpleasant.


    It wasn''t long before the troll''s very body started beaking down like melted ice cream in the sun, doing all of Mchi''s work for him with half the effort.


    "...I could have done that."


    ''Sure.''


    His eyes scanned the ruined highway for thest of the ''trolls'' who was still trying to get away.


    Once he found him a short distance away trying to hop over a car, he gave a smallmand to the shadows at his feet.


    "W-What..? Hey, what is this?!"


    Even without understanding why, the human suddenly turned back around and started heading towards Mchi at full speed.


    No matter how hard he tried, he could not stop himself from running headfirst into his death, and his cries and pleas for mercy ultimately fell on deaf ears.


    Holding out his weapon, Mchi changed it one final time back into a double ended spear.


    The troll''s jaw was forced open against his own volition, and he flung himself full force onto Mchi''s weapon,pletely impaling himself and dying without ever understanding how.


    Thest thoughts that went through his brain were that he was d he was able to send a message back to base about a monster that would require no less than the boss'' attention.


    Mchi let the body of his opponent drop to the ground and he felt his angering back down from a rolling boil to a simmer.


    A deep, tired exhale escaped his lips as he looked at the bloodied weapon in his grasp and he began to feel slightly introspective.


    Naming weapons had never been something that he had put all that much thought into, but for some reason now it seemed appropriate.


    As he decided on one rather quickly, he suddenly remembered that he was not alone here.


    Worried, he turned back towards his travelingpanions and grimaced when he found them waiting, eyes open, staring back at him.


    Immediately, his heart sank and he wanted to hide himself, but there was no where for him to go.


    The very second that she saw him starting to feel despondent, Serana had to chime in with one of her usual thoughtless and endearing remarks.


    "All done, buddy? See if you can find ake or something to take a dip in cause Lolo and I don''t want you touching us when you''re covered in gunk."


    *Disgruntled hissing* (Don''t speak for me, bitch.)


    "See? She agrees!"


    For some reason, Mal found his friend so much funnier than he normally would have.


    Hisugh started out small, but it grew louder and more unrestrained by the second.


    Eventually, he copsed on the ground with tears running down his eyes as heughed and stared up at the bright blue sky.


    He heard the sound of footstepsing towards him, and Aisha squatted down just beside his head and tried to pull some of the chunks of flesh out of his hair.


    "I hope you''re starting to get it now... your girls aren''t the only ones who love you unconditionally. No matter what you be, as long as Mchi is still in there somewhere we''ll still be right next to you. Alien, monster, or man."


    "I think... I''m finally starting to get that. Thank you."


    Aisha held out her hand to help her friend up and he took it gratefully.


    "Come on. Let''s get our people home."


    Serana : "But we have to find ake first!"


    "Right, ake is a priority."


    "Fuck you both."
