The Test of Worth

The was a moment of silence among the 5 individuals, the 4 sekirei's stared into the eyes of their unknown opponent, the vault hunter. Zer0 positioned himself in his initial stance before he begins his attack, when all of sudden The Blonde sekirei Tsukiumi quickly began her attack on him.

WATER CELEBRATION, she said in mighty exerted way. Once she said that a large pool of water channeled into his direction as it headed towards him at a blazing fast speed. The power of the water drove straight into ground leaving a large wet crater showing the after effects of her strong attack. She seemed confident that she landed a direct hit on Zer0 until...

"Missed me."" Zer0 said as he was right behind in the air as if he was there the whole with her not knowing of his presence.

"But that's impossible, how did thou dodge my attack, it landed right on you." said Tsukiumi with a bit of frustration as she failed to even touch him. She was still puzzled as to how he dodged her attack without anyone seeing him move out of place. He landed a swift kick to back of her sending her back down but her reflexes were uncanny allowing her to land back safely.

"I told you about my deception skill didn't, I anticipated your attack a mere 5 seconds before you started you special move. Once then my hologram took my place while I began got the upper hand and got behind you to strike." he explained. Everyone was shocked to see such an ability. Something like that is very lethal if put into the wrong person.

Then Musubi tagged in a was running at blazing speed towards Zer0, "Here I come." she announced as he quickly thrusted a kick that's directed toward his chest area. He quickly blocked it but sustained a bit damaged in his his arm. Then they soon engaged in all out close combat. A flurry a punches of kick went by as they tried their best to take each other down. Their CQC was ungodly like they were rivals at birth (CQC means Close Quarters Combat).

"Amazing, it seems she's finally met her match." Miya said. She was impressed upon his mobility and tenacity to take on not one but the four of them. He didn't even seem phased or intimidated. Musubi was already a strong fighter compared to the others but she had never seen someone who was able to physically be on her level.

Minato was just as impressed by this as she was, but what really came into question was why wasn't he using a hologram to strike her from behind. "He has the opportunity to attack Musubi from behind with that ability of his but he's facing her head on, what's keeping from just vanishing out of nowhere." Minato was thinking.

"ENOUGH OF THIS I'M TIRED OF JUST SITTING HERE WATCHING THIS." yelled Homura as a he emerged into the fray of the warriors toe-to-toe with each other. As he spotted Zer0 a channel of fire started to emerge from both of his hands as he thrusted them back for more momentum. "This is it, if I can directly hit him with this, he'll sustain enough damage to not even lift up a finger he'll be out of commission." It was his final moment a sense of adrenaline starting pumping throughout his body, every was slowing down as if this exact moment was all that was happening. Then, a gargantuan level of flames had broke through the ground destroying the target and everything else that was around it. The fury of the flames were so strong, one of Tsukiumi's water attacks wouldn't be able to take it out, multiple others would need to be used.

"Whoa, look how big it is." said Kusano in an amazement that only a child could have. This hasn't been the first time she's seen the fight of this intensity, but every experience is far different than what she originally sees. "Oh boy, you sure do now how to put the 'kill in 'Overkill'." said Kazehana. "Hey! I wanted to be sure that I could be able to land a hit on this guy, the radius was large enough to wear we could see him escape and use a hologram, i'm definitely positive I hit him, he had no sudden flinches when it landed."

"Don't be so sure about that." said Zer0. Everyone was then stunned. He was talking within Homura's flames, it seemed impossible because he should just been burned very badly. "Although you had the advantage of catching me off guard with that surprise attack, it still has done nothing to do me in. He emerges right out of the flames like as if nothing had just happened to him. His body and clothes still perfectly intact with no burns or scratches. It was unreal.

"What the hell?! How did you survive, you weren't expecting anything of the sort from me, plus I would've saw you come through the flames if you used a hologram." said Homura while being really pissed off at the fact that Zer0 just completely came out of one his powerful attacks with no harm. "But that's the thing, I didn't used my hologram, you actually did land a hit on me it's just that the hit was unsuccessful for putting damage on me." Now everyone is in question on how he was able to survive. They know for a fact that an attack from anyone would be a devastating blow to whoever got in the way of it.

"Tis was my shield that protected me from you're attack." said Zer0. Soon as he said that an appearance of strange digital polygons and such surrounded his body. It was as if they were coating him with because they soon disappeared. "Shield, what do you mean shield." said Homura. "All show you what I mean." he said. He lifted up his shirt and he the answer to question that was pondering everyone. He had a small device strapped to his hip. It was round and was red and yellow, with a bright yellow center glowing. "This is the shield I was talking about, it's known as the Neogenator and it provides substantial resistance to elemental damge."

"What?! But that's impossible, there's no level of technology that can do that, not even MBI has that kind of shielding." said Matsu. She seemed to have came in while no one was looking and focused on the fighting. "Again, the technology I possess is from a different galaxy, the technology on the planet I came from is among the most advanced." Zer0 explained. "Amazing, he's telling he has access to devices we aren't even capable of making here.
