Shattering Humanity-Chapter 419: "I Could’ve Guessed That."

’O believers! When you converse privately, let it not be for sin, aggression, or disobedience to the Messenger, but let it be for goodness and righteousness. And fear Allah, to Whom you will all be gathered.

Secret talks are only inspired by Satan to grieve the believers. Yet he cannot harm them whatsoever except by Allah’s Will. So in Allah let the believers put their trust.

Communication Crew: "Sir!

The rest of the fleet is wondering what our next move is?

They are waiting orders from Madame Sheriff."

Jesse James: "We load up the landing crafts with infantry and storm that shore. That water isn’t a serious threat, nor is it solid surface. Everyone will get a little wet, that’s it."

Before anyone else can react, the wall of water in question visibly descends slowly, along with the Shelly clones standing on top.

Once the wall is half as high from it’s original height, Jesse James’ eyes widen and she shouts.

Jesse James: "There’s no more time!

Tell everyone to get going, NOW!"

On "NOW", from the land they are attempting to storm, a large distinct *BANG* echoes and after a whistling noise growing, one of the destroyer vessels, the USS Bruce, gets hit with a mortar fired by Abby.

As soon as the mortar makes contact with the side of the shipping vessel, a plume of water raises up and rains back down.

A few Navy soldiers on the deck of the destroyer vessel fall off from the explosion and into the water below.

On the heavily damaged vessel an emergency alarm starts blasting and the supply ship nearby goes to rescue the soldiers on board.

From inside the water deck outside the uninjured carrier vessel, small amphibious landing crafts are being loaded up with soldiers.

Half of them with dual SunSwords, the other half with military firearms.

Once full, the coordinators of the operation are yelling for the small craft to "GO! GO! GO!" so the next landing craft can be loaded up.

About five small amphibious crafts exit the larger vessel before Jesse James realizes what the Takamagahara plan is.

The 10 Shelly clones have ran from their posts and are running along the top of the water.

Jesse James: "Tell everyone to shoot at those clones!"

First-Officer: "What!?!"

The Captain looks over at the communications officer who is still in shock by the event that just transpired and her mouth is open.

Captain: "Did you hear that, Soldier?!"

Snapping back into the battle, the young military woman nods and runs back into the wheelhouse to inform the fleet of the Sheriff’s command.

From the ships, artillery fire is aimed at the running Shelly clones and their shots echo across the water.

Without the Mach speed from her SanguineSoulSeiõrShield, the clones covered in Persephone’s SharedSoulSeiõrShield cannot move faster than sound.

Missed shots splash into the ocean, while precision shots are deflected or dodged by the skilled clones.

Even at only 1/5th of her full power, the lesser of Shelly’s clones can still block bullets, but the power behind the hot lead is enough to stagger the female fighter on water just enough to delay their charge.

It appears the weaker of Shelly’s clones are focused on helping protect the stronger clones as they all run for the same destroyer vessel, also shooting at them.

One of the large rounds manages to hit a clone right in her SharedSoulSeiõrShield covered shoulder but instead of going through her and causing bleeding, it spins the warrior off her feet, and sends the young woman’s clone skidding across the water away from the rest of the group.

Slowly, she gets back up and runs back into the fray.

This happens to a few of the ambushing clones, but they continue their aggressive assault.

During the huge battle scene, the group of three on Jesse James’ water cruiser watch the amazing battle scene unfold, about one full football field away.

Captain: "Are those women getting hit with artillery fire and surviving?!

How can that even be possible?!"

Not as amazed by the resilience of the Seiõr covered clones, Jesse James informs the man on the rules and properties of the mystical energy.

Jesse James: "The only thing that can damage someone covered in Seiõr is another weapon or person with Seiõr.

Our weapon fire can only delay them."

The First-Mate looks at the Sheriff releasing her own magical shield and then back at the clones covered in the rainbow SharedSoulSeiõrShield being shot at or dodging the bullets.

First-Mate: "So those rumors...

Thos rumors of you being able to walk on water, that’s because of this magic you’re covered in?

It’s not because you’re a ’Messiah’...

It’s because you’ve known of this magic and kept it a secret from others..."

Jesse James takes a moment before she looks over her shoulder to look at the Captain and First-Officer.

Jesse James: "Like I told you earlier, some things must be hidden from the public, in order to keep it safe from themselves.

I entrust the two of you to set up a beachhead while I’m gone.

I shall return in a moment.

Have the first-"

Before she can finish her command, the Sheriff looks over towards the largest carrier vessel.

Emerging from the water comes a giant, crystal/ice right hand, then an arm, finally the chest and head of a giant Iceman who was asleep, hibernating under the deep ocean.

The enormous creature is twice the size of the largest ship of the fleet carrying the majority of soldiers.

Captain: "What the Hell?!

Those things can survive underwater?!?"

Without a response, the oldest of the group looks back to the front of his ship and sees the Sheriff has already disappeared without an eyes or perspectives on her.

As a small boat full of soldiers is exiting the large craft, they are the first to witness the horrific scene of the gigantic alien rising, water pouring off of it.

The giant Iceman raises it’s fist and brings it down above the large craft.

Underneath the deck, visible in the water well the deck in bent and the ship jerks viscously.

Some soldiers fall into the water but quickly make it back to safety.

Up top on the deck, Jesse James has stopped the full damage to the ship by catching the fist 20 times the size of herself.

In the center of the deck’s indented surface the Sheriff appears to be struggling, but soon moves out from underneath the fist.

The First-Mate taps the Captain on the shoulder and points up to the attacking creature’s arm.

The old man with glasses adjusts them and his eyes widen to see the Sheriff sprinting up the giant Iceman’s appendage.

From her fist, the spring loaded staff she used to fight Shelly and Katsu is released.

The staff becomes covered not in her SanguineSoulSeiõrShield, but a molten red Seiõr.

Twisting her way up the right arm of the beast, she leaves a red/orange slice trail up to the shoulder that cools off. However, once the Iceman tries to slap the human female off like a bug, the force makes the sliced arm fall off and splash into the water below next to the carrier vessel, making it sway violently.

After dodging the slap, pink/gold covered Jesse James and her heat Seiõr covered staff make carving swipes through the monster’s neck as she continues dodging the monster’s slaps.

Eventually, after enough cuts, the incredibly strong 2nd Generation DæMon uppercuts the giant Iceman’s chin and with her pure power the monster’s head falls off backwards on a hinge.

As the red cloud escapes from the neck of the giant Iceman, down below, the First-Mate that has been mutually acknowledged by Seiõr, watches the capabilities of the woman he was doubting earlier.

Before the giant Iceman explodes into a billion shattered pieces, Jesse James leaps off her defeated enemy and back on the large, damaged carrier ship.

As the giant Iceman explodes the crowd of soldiers can be heard cheering for her.

On the smaller ship she was just boarded on, the Captain smiles up at the heroine as her staff retracts back into her closed fist.

Captain: "Officer, you can see that magic she was telling us about, can’t you?"

First-Mate(nods): "Y-Yes Sir..."

Captain: "Please, can you tell me what it looks like?"

The First-Mate looks back up at the woman who has just saved thousands of soldiers lives and singlehandedly destroyed a giant Iceman. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

First-Mate: "It’s...It’s beautiful, Sir."

As if relieved to hear the affirmation of the 2nd Generation’s sense of justice from his second in command, the Captain chuckles.

Captain: "Hehe.

I could’ve guessed that."

Back up top on the dented shipping vessel, Jesse James looks out to where the last of her destroyer vessels was.

The USS Broly is gone, and the USS Bruce is nose up in the water, slowly descending to it’s grave.

The prideful Sheriff’s fist tightens knowing she’s been outsmarted in the first battle of this war.
