"What is that thing?" Helaina asked me as we all hid behind some boulders at the mouth of the tunnel.

We were about ten feet from the cavern opening, where a Living Blender prowled around the chamber. Moving parts was a gross understatement of what this creature was.

What I had thought were pained screams were actually just the metal blade that must have been its rib cage was now spinning around it like blenders. The Ravager had a humped spine and long tail, and every one of its spine joints was spinning.

After studying it for a moment, I realized that all the joints were spinning at different speeds. That would make it nearly impossible to get an attack in, but its head seemed like an easy target.

The Meccat Ravager was like a lion's head, but metal and the mane was a strange series of gill-like vents. They leaked red smoke that had a blackness that seemed to crust it, almost like lava in gas form.

"That is one of the guards to Rai Cait's Tomb, the God of Meccat. There are two other guards, and this one is called Kiliada-Strike, one of his greatest Rivals' top generals. Cariem Kiliada, First General to Davo, Meccat Emperor," Maurice explained, and then Hamble picked up right after him.

"He is the other Minor Guard, but the main Guard is Rai Cait's first wife and the one that stayed married to him until the end. It was her undying hate for him that makes her one of the scariest Ravagers to ever be birthed from death," Hamble added, rubbing his greasy shoulders.

"What did he do?" I asked, turning in curiosity, not being able to help myself from asking.

This was a bunch of good news, most of it. The part about the Killer-Wife Guard was pretty ominous, and I kind of hoped it wasn't her swatting OpsBees, or whatever she did in her Undying form.

"...Married her seven other sisters, hahaha!" Maurice said, and both he and Hamble started to laugh.

Then the screeching sound of the blades stopped, and everyone went instantly quiet. I could see the creature turn towards where we were hiding, and then the creature started to change.

"Why is it doing that?!" I asked as the creature folded inwards and stood up on its back legs as its body started to reform.

"No clue, never got anywhere near one of these before, and we should probably run because that does not look like something that we should have anything to do with!" Hamble said, pulling at Maurice, but there was no getting out of this one.

I needed to get past to complete this task, and this wasn't the strongest thing that I was going to face. I would have to rely on my new pets for this; Tigra and Thanos wouldn't be able to hurt this thing.

[Name]: Kiliada-Strike/Meccat Ravager

[Class]: Legendary Eternal Guard of Rai Cait

[Abilities]:

[Shyft]: Meccat Ravager transforms into Meccat Eternal Guard form.

[Physical Resistance]: Meccat Ravager is resistant to Physical Damage.

[Ironhide]: Immune to Slashing and Piercing Damage.

[Blade Mastery]: Master in all forms of swordsmanship.

[Blade Control]: The ability to manipulate its body to create and control blades that are attached to the Meccat Ravager

[Volcanic Battle Magic]: The ability to use Earth and Fire Magic infused attacks and defenses.

[Gene]: Kaleidoscope.

All the types of damage that they could do would be useless in this fight. The Ravager in Guard form was only seven feet tall, not nearly as big as I thought he would be, but size meant nothing.

"Everyone stay back, and don't come out!" I shouted as I let Helaina fall to the ground gently, and then I smashed all four arms out to the side.

*Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack!*

[Hex Blade x4] Activated!

Like I had struck the air with four thunder strikes, the FIRE cracked open like a smashed window. The sound rippled like a mega shock wave, and the others below me cringed, but I needed to do this before I went in there.

I retrieved four of my Hex Blades from my QBee Drone, and as I did, the Silver and glowing red Knight extended three swords from his knuckle. Are you kidding me? What was this shit? Mecha-Wolverine-Knight?

Simultaneously, I felt the Dragon Armor cover over my body like ultra black and burning red plate armor. This was not going to be easy, and I would need to put serious effort into this if I even hoped to stand a chance, but I also wanted my own challenge.

My fight as the DragonBee with the Monstrapede had been anticlimactic, and the end was more than unsettling. This time I was going to fight, and as I had that thought, my face was covered over by the Dragon Armor.

[Dragon Armor: DragonBee Knight] Activated!

My vision splintered into tens, then hundreds to thousands, then it all snapped back to a single image. I couldn't see better, but now I could see the Holistic Threads coming from anything that I focused on.

[Compound Holistic Thread Vision Calibration] Complete!

I floated forward, but at the same time, I started to summon a storm cloud that was rising above me. The Ravager started to do the same, but his cloud was crusted with black with burning red roiling glowing inside.

What was with this creature? I was probably overthinking it, but it felt like it was copying me. I let my gravity go and dropped to the ground; flying wasn't going to work.

My gray storm cloud pressed against the Ravager, and then I saw a thread of Decisions snap. I burst forward simultaneously as he did, smashing his first strike back, but the next one was already coming.

Suddenly I was forced to use all four arms to smash back his strikes from his two arms. The Ravager was incredibly fast, and I couldn't get close to finding an opening even with the blade advantage.

I called a Lightning Strike, but somehow the Ravager was able to deflect it, so I pressed harder and called the last two strikes. The Ravager insanely sidestepped both strikes, and then I was sent flying towards the cavern wall.

I recovered in the air and flipped to land with my feet on the wall. I was barely moved out of the way of some kind of Volcanic Lightning Strike.

The strike had been so sudden that it had nearly taken my head off. It still cut the armor on my shoulder, leaving a seared small part of exposed flesh.

I blocked the pain and jumped off the wall with heavy force, rocketing forward, back to the Ravager that was waiting for me. I was mad, and that hurt, but I channeled that into my will and focus.

I needed to be faster; the speed was what I lacked right now. I had knocked every strike back, but he was too fast with the next strike.

Then as I collided with the Ravager again, something changed as we started to trade strikes at blurring speeds. I started to glow orange, and I could feel my attacks getting stronger, and it was starting to affect the dark knight.

I smashed the next two strikes simultaneously but with great force, knocking the Ravager off balance. I immediately followed up with a dual strike at his abdomen area, but I had to jump back as blades burst from the Ravager's chest.

Are you serious?! What was up with this thing?

"Who are you, and why do you wish to come to the Tomb of my most hated enemy?" The Ravager asked in a hollowed-out metallic voice that almost sounded tubular.

I was surprised and didn't reply right away, as I landed from my long jump back. I wasn't sure what to tell this Guard, but I needed to get to Rai Cait, but my reason might be a problem.

I wanted to try and summon him back to this world, but I don't know how this guy would feel about that. Maybe I would try a different approach to this.

"What are you standing Guard for your greatest enemy's Tomb? That seems a bit strange to me, but I am not from around here," I called over.

"This is the price I pay for having held such great hatred for the man. I am required to stay in this form until the end of time as a Royal Eternal Guard. My name is Kiliada, the greatest general of The Glorious Davo, Emperor of the Meccat, and rightful God!" Kiliada explained with pride.

"But Davo is dead, like you, and no longer an Emperor, right? What would happen if Rai Cait were to come back to Kadeon?" I asked casually, and the Ravager stiffened.

"How? If that False God was brought back to life, I would be able to die the true death somewhere of importance! I would become one of the greatest warships ever birthed from death!" Kiliada said, and red burning smoke poured from the vents on his lion head.

"I think that I can bring him back because I need to talk to him and to ask for his help. Do you still want to fight?" I asked after explaining what I wanted to do, and the Ravager nodded its head at me.

"If you can bring him back, then we will all be able to rest, but you will still have to face them. They have too much hate to let you go by without beating them in battle; it is the way of the Meccat, in life and death. Proceed up the tunnel and take a left at the fork," Kiliada the Ravager explained and motioned to the tunnel at the end of the cavern.
