The spotlight.
"Speed..."
The heat in my mind.
"I am... speed"
The crowd cheers resonating in my ears.
"..." (glares at Suzuka intently)
The battle horns sounded. Time to shine.
I made the first move. I quickly run and hide behind one of the rocks in the island look-alike arena.
I heard tapping sounds and as i turn back Suzuka blows up the rock with a powerful and deadly kick then she quickly uses her other leg to try kicking me and manage to hit my face as i try to dodge.
"Hikaru!" I can hear Misaki's voice screaming my name worriedly.
I try to get up from that impact and suddenly Suzuka punches me multiple times. Am I going to lose to her again and make Misaki cry? I clench my hands and grab her right arm. I force her arm downwards, causing her to spin and fell. The hp bar sounded long as she took quite a damage from that fall.
I quickly run and hide behind another rock. It looks like Misaki was to scared for me to get hurt. Too bad, it was a good chance since Suzuka is vulnerable right now.
"You're improving Misaki." Hatoko smiled with hidden intention. I can see it in her eyes.
Suzuka stands up. She rushes like lightning speed and bursts the rock I'm hiding behind with just her head and lands a merciless punch on me and sends me flying. My body is banged against the mountain and that wasn't the end. Suzuka appears before me and as I slowly began to fall from the impact she kicks me to the ground and clench her fist towards me but I roll to the side and her punch hits the ground but she still managed to send me flying. I take the chance of her vulnerable stance and slice my leg over the arm she meant to punch me and she falls backwards. I lay a kick at her backside and send her flying to the sky and with top speed I flew up towards a tall tree, landed my feet on the tree trunk, bend my knees and jump with all my might towards Suzuka. I punch her more times than I can remember and after that I kick her with my heel and strike her down. I flew and hit her stomach as she tried to strike back. She banged on the ground.
"Suzuka!" Hatoko stands up looking flustered.
When I turn to Misaki she looked relieved that I didn't got hurt. I can still win this even if my hp bar is almost empty.
Suzuka got up by the time I turn my head towards her. She was shaking. It looks as if she is forcing herself to stand up. I really might win this.
"Go, Hikaru!" yelled Misaki.
Like a flash, I followed her commands and run towards Suzuka while she stood still.
I can see Hatoko smiled.
"No, Misaki it's a trap" Yelled Icchan from the control system.
As I'm appearing close to Suzuka, she bent down as my kick is in the air and I see that she's aiming for my other leg. Is this the end? What was Misaki thinking? She's the miracle rookie in angelic layer. She can't be falling for this simple trick.
Suddenly, my kick made my body flew and i landed like a foot away from her. She keeps trying to kick me while i dodge until we're almost the end of the rink. She tries to push me out of the rink but I jump behind her and kick her backwards. It was a weak kick but enough to push her out of the rink... or so I think. She's almost out of the rink. Before me, she stands up, walking towards me, shaking and send her fist flying towards my face. In the state of panic, not knowing what to do because all of my body parts are damaged causing me unable to do much actions, I slap Suzuka. She fell down. The battle horns sounded. I guess I win... ?
