Author's note: Well here we are with the next chapter on this story, been writing them at a fast pace if I say so myself, faster than the rest of my stories certainly. That is because I'm right now under a surge of inspiration, so better if I capitalize on it right now while I have the chance. My other stories will suffer of course, and I had to drop from working on the content of my new ones I have under wraps, but it can't be helped, I'm under a roll.
It's pretty easy to find inspiration for this story, being a super mega crossover means I have to go and check a lot of stuff, so a lot of ideas come to me while I'm checking series for this story. Been watching and reading a lot of mangas and animes lately, sometimes both things at the same time. There's just a lot of shit I have to check, damn if my schedule isn't tight right now.
Anyway, hope you lot like this new chapter and tell me what you think.
Also you should check these mangas because they're awesome, One-Punch Man, Kongou Banchou and Ashita No joe. This last one is going to make you shed some tears; it's so fucking marvelous, I can't help cry.

"What do you think you're doing…?" Pan asked in a low tone that heralded to Kushinada's she better had a good excuse if she didn't wanted her spine to be removed forcefully, as she kept the elder woman's fist on place using only her index finger.
Despite the stoic expression in the century old grandmaster, one could clearly see the beads of sweat dripping from her forehead. "I'm just removing these useless vermin. They have failed Yami twice now, and failure in this organization means death. We have no use for weaklings among our ranks." Kushinada said as politely as she could.
A small frown began to appear on Pan's face as she took a brief pause to delve in those words. At large she spoke… "I don't know if you were not paying attention or just simply forgot. But I specifically stated that if any of you were to lose your fights you were all going to join my alliance and serve under my orders. Which means, the moment Diego Carlo lost he stopped being a member of Yami and became one of my minions. He is mine now… His life and that of his disciple belong to me and only I can decide wheter they live or die… And you tried to kill him… You tried to take something of my property away from me… So tell me, why should I not kill you where you stand?"
Kushinada couldn't help but gulp in nervousness, she was pretty aware these could be her last words… But pride was hard to keep silent. "Why do you care so much about their lives? They both have alredy proven to be weaklings, why would you bother yourself with them?"
Pan just released an unamused sigh, as if trying to contain herself from lashing out. "You do not have the right to point out who is a weakling and who is not. You're all all weaklings compared to me." She said, before releasing a tiny fraction of her power for all to sense, the earth began to rumble and Kushinada let out a gasp as she and the rest of the YAMI grandmasters were overwhelmed by Pan's Ki and fell to their knees. Kushinada herself could barely believe such power could exist, as she barely avoided from kissing the canvas and was forced to kneel in front of Pan's feet with her head bowed as she struggled from fully falling down due to the great pressure exherted by the alien's girl sheer power. Most of the people who could sense Ki also ended up falling to the ground or to their knees, whether be from YAMI/YOMI or from Pan's own followers, they all agreed that the power of the saiyan girl was simply unbelivable. And she wasn't even winded by this impressive show of Ki, meaning it must have been only a small fraction of her true potential, a thought that many found horrifying.
"See…" Pan said before supressing her power again. "As far as it goes, I can bother myself with whoever I want and there's not a single thing you or anyone else can do about it. Besides, for a human, Diego Carlo was pretty strong and I kinda liked his attitude, he has the right idea as some of his views of life a pretty similar to those of a Saiyan, so I feel we are going to get along just fine. But not only you tried to kill someone under my protection, you also tried to kill one of your comrades. We Saiyans may be heartless killers who wouldn't hesitate to annihilate an entire species if we have to, but among our kind, the only loyalty we have goes towards the group we belong to. You see… Saiyan's relationships are pretty diffirent from your own; we do not have much of a concept of family. Most of the time a Saiyan will not feel any kind of bond not even to its own blood-relatives. Son and father, brothers and sisters could kill each other with the same detachment they have when destroying entire planets. But we do tend to have close relationships with our friends and comrades, however, as they are the ones with whom we spend a great deal of time when in battle. This is because of our peculiar social interactions, Saiyans tend to join together in groups, which usally this being the team they will take missions and conquer planets with. To a Saiyan, the members of his group are closer and more precious to him than even his own family or any mate or lover could ever hope to be. As they are the people who will fight alongside him through hell and back; who will kill and die for him at a moment's notice. For the members of his group a saiyan will go to any length to do whatever is they would ask of him without hesitation and they in turn will do the same for him. It is not unusual for this reason that Saiyans tend to find their soulmates between the members of their own group, Saiyan children who are not sent as babies to conquer weaker planets grow and spend most of their time among their parent's group until they are old enough to leave and join a group of their own. So for you to have tried to kill one of your own comrades… We Saiyans may be a very cruel and harsh race, we can commit the genocide of an entire species with the same care one shows when squashing a bug, but know this… Saiyans do not betray their own. What you have done, it is considered one of the most serious sins and crimes in Saiyan society, for it goes against one of our most sacred beliefs."
Pan grabbed Kushinada by the neck with one hand hoist her up as she began to float, leaving the helpless grandmaster at Pan's mercy with her feet hanging above the ground. "I should kill you here right now for what you've done! If it wasn't because I promised you all would have the chance to face one of my minions without me intervening, I would have crushed your neck already, as easyly as one crushes a cracker…" Pan threatened with a low dangerous voice as her grip around Kushinada's neck tightened, the hundred year old woman began to struggle, trying uselessly to fight against the unyielding grip that blocked her breathing canals. Pan brought the squirming woman up to her face, and looked at her straight to the eyes with an unmoving stare. "Let's get things straight… You just pissed me off with that little stunt you tried to pull, but since I don't want to break my promise to one of my minions of giving them the chance to have a good fight, I'm willing to be merciful just this once. But do something like this again and I will not hesitate to rip your spine with my bare hands and toss it into the sun… Is that clear?" She asked with a harsh stare.
"Grrk… yes…" Kushinada croaked the best she could as she struggled to breath.
"Good!" Pan said letting go of the eternally young woman who fell to the ground on her rump, pretty shaken up by Pan's threath. It had been many decades since Kushinada had felt fear so overwhelming like this. Pan lifted the broken Diego Carlo over her head with one hand and called for the Spanish ninja, who was still waiting on the other side of the ring with Rachel on his arms, without looking back. "Vega, go back with the others and take Rachel with you. I'll take care of bringing her master along. You…" Vega nodded before doing as she said, Pan then pointed towards Mills Lane with her free arm "Carry on and set the next fight."
Mills Lane was caught off guard for a moment. "There's going to be more fights!?"
"Yes! Each of all these people…" Pan motioned towards the gathered YAMI masters and their disciples. "…Against one of my people." She finished, now pointing towards her minions.
"Huh…? Fine, it dosen't seem I have much choice but to agree to continue with this thing." He grumbled before he approached to the edge of the ring and adressed the collective of fighters. Pan took this chance to return to her lines carrying Diego Carlo. "Alright, who's next!? You all going to come up on this ring or are you going to chose a different setting?" He asked, making several of the awaiting combatants to start pondering in their decision.
"I don't care how it is done! I just want to fight already! I'm tired to wait and that last fight really got my blood pumping." Berserker said, restless.
"Aye, I agree with blondie. We've waited long enough!" K'9999 said, crackling his knuckles.
"Yeah, but how are we going to do this?" Foxy asked, pointedly. "Are we going to carry these battles one by one or several at a time? Are we going to agree for them to be with no holds barred or with certain conditions?"
"Well, I say we should have several fights at the same time, otherwise we're going to be here the whole day before every one of us has a chance to fight." K' said.
"I agree with that proposal." Agaard Jum Sai said, from where he was standing. "But our disciples go first, as Kushinada had stated previously."
"Then what are you waiting for? Send those brats forwards already!" Juri exclaimed with a hint of impatience.
Most of the members of YOMI moved forwards and stood in a straight line in front of Pan's forces, from left to right: Shougo Kitsikawa a.k.a. Berserker, Ryuto Asamiya a.k.a. Odin, Rimi Kokorone, Tirawit Kokin, Kajima Satomi, Ethan Stanley, Chikage Kushinada, Boris Ivanov, and from the armed division Siegmarigen who couldn't wait to fight anymore and managed to displace Lugh for the right to fight in this turn.
"Mmmmph… Ok, I guess they're enough for now, otherwise they would get too overcrowded to be able to fight properly." Agaard Jum sai commented, delimiting the size of the first wave. Most of Yomi armed division would remain behind and wait for the next turn.
Pan stared at Ryuto with an incredulous look. "Are you sure you wish to send a guy in a wheelchair to fight against my people. I mean that dosen't look pretty fair to me!" She said tailing off a little
"Do not underestimate just because I'm confined to this wheelchair!" Ryuto yelled a little harshly. "Even with this disability, I'm more than capable of dealing with any enemy you throw at me!"
"Very well… If that is your wish…" Pan said impassively, she turned towards her followers. "Alright people, whoever wants to fight in this turn step forward and chose your partner." She ordered.
"I want this one! I know he's going to be fun!" K'9999 said moving in front of Berserek with a deranged smile, the blonde reckless fighter replied with his own creepy smile and both once more looked themselves in a battle of wills.
Ryuto raised his hand. "Can we make suggestions of who we want to fight?" He asked to Pan.
"Who do you have in mind?" Inquired the alien girl.
"I wish to fight against Mr. Yagami over there…" Ryuto said, pointing towards the readhead who was simply lying back with his hands inside his pockets.
Pan turned to look at Iori. "So Iori, what do you say? Care to grant the request of the disabled kid?" she asked, pissing Ryuto a little from the uncaring way she refered to his disability.
Iori seemed to consider his answer for a moment. "Fine, I will fight against him…" He said, and walked towards Ryuto.
"Look Kula! There's a girl close to your age over there. Why don't you go and play with her?" Diana said as she nudged the ice wielder towards Kushinada's foster daughter direction.
"Okay." She said while licking her Lollipop and went to stand in front of Chikage who turned awestruck the moment her eyes caught sight of Kula's lollipop; she seemed to enter in a trance as she stood watching the piece of candy with a face of childish yearning.
The rest of the disciples began to meet their opponents one by one. Angel stood in front of Rimi, K' stood in front of Tirawit, Nameless stood in front of Kajima, Maxima stood in front of Ethan, Juri stood in front of Boris Ivanov, that only leaved Siegmarigen as the last disciple to be assigned and opponent.
"That last one is wielding a scythe, which one of you likes to use a weapon?" Pan asked turning to her followers.
"Don't look at me; I have just finished a fight of my own. Give me a few minutes to rest before I can take a go at it again." Vega said as he passed a hand through his long lustrous hair tied in a ponytail.
Pan and her followers turned towards Foxy and Diana next. "Don't look at us either; it will be a waste of our fencing skills to use them to fight against some brat." Foxy said, a little disdainful.
All of the presents then turned towards Doctor Jackal who looked back at them with a smiling face and both sides stared at each other for a moment; everybody shook their heads unanimously and declined that idea. Some even began to express their pity for the poor bastard who ever had the rotten luck of facing Doctor Jackal in combat. "Nah! That would be much too overkill. I think I preffer to leave Doctor Jackal in reserve as our Ace-In-The-Hole for the moment." Pan commented. "Ok, who else?"
Now they all turned to look in the direction of Whip, with Kagero Sai also standing towering at her side. Whip turned to glance at the swordsman, who oddly enough was wielding a hoe rather than a sword, and all she saw was the dumb expression in the black clad man's face that clearly told he had no idea of what was happening around him, or if he had, he simply didn't give a fuck. Whip couldn't stop herself from facepalming and released a sigh in frustration. "I'll do it…" she said in resignation and went to stand in front of Siegmarigen.
Mills Lane got down off the ring and approached the lined fighters. "Alright, so you all are going to have a go at it next? Very well, how you want to do this?" he asked.
All of the combatants under Pan's command turned at her and gave her an expectant look. "First of all, you fight as you are, no taking the turtle shell off unless I permit it. The fights themselves will have no holds barred and will not stop until one of the combatants is unable to continue. Lethal moves will be left to the discretion of each fighter." Pan listed nonchalantly.
"That's just my kind of fight!" K'9999 said bumping his fists in anticipation. "Alright let's do this already!" He declared and was about to launch himself at his opponent when Mills lane intervened.
"Hold it right there son! These fights do not start until I said so, so back off until I give you the signal." Mills Lane said authoritatively.
K'9999 was abot to retort with a nasty comeback, but a look from Pan told him to behave. He sighed in frustration and went back to stand with the others.
Mills Lane went and stood between K'9999 and berserker. "Alright you two, get over here!" He signaled the two fighters to approach. "Now, this fight would be your typical street brawl, it will be a no holds barred engagement with absolutely no rules to follow, so you're free to do whatever is necessary to win. Lethal moves, well that's up to you two if you want to use them or not, but regardless of that, this fight will not stop until one of you turns the lights off to their opponent. Do you understand this conditions, gentlemen?" He asked, looking to both fighters.
"Just gives us the signal, goddamit." Berserker said, not willing to wait anymore.
"Yeah, I want to start this fight before I turn your age, old man!" K'9999 remarked with his own impatience.
Mills Lane just sighed and shook his head. "Damn! This kids today, no respect for their elders…. Fine! Suit yourselves! Let's get in on!" he declared pumping his fist before moving to the next combatants.
Fall of YAMI
Round 2
Berserker vs K'9999
Both combatants rushed at each other with maniac grins plastered on their faces, both of their fists connected with each other's face at the same time, a loud thunderclap being released from the impact; the two of them happy beyond measure now that the fight was finally on.
!
Mills Lane approached to the next set of combatants and called them to the center as he had done previously.
"Alright, you two already heard me telling the rules to those wackos behind me, don't you? So let's make this quick." A loud sonic boom was heard behind him, Mills Lane simply ignored it. "Since I can't ask for a good clean fight, then at least let me ask for a good entertaining fight that is satisfactory to all the parties involved… Don't know how you're going to manage that since one of you is bound to a weelchair, but whatever, it's your choice. Alright, are you both ready?" He asked, both Iori and Ryuto gave him a wordless nod. "Then, let's get it on!" Mills said, pumping his fist again and moving to the next fighters.
Iori Yagami vs Ryuto Asamiya
Both combatans assumed figthing stances and stared at each other.
"Before we begin, let me tell you it is a great honor to fight a warrior of your quality mister Yagami. I'll have a good anecdote to boast about once I defeat you…" Ryuto said with an arrogant grin.
Iori gave a smirk of his own "Feh… Let's see if you can put your money where your mouth is… I will not go easy on you despite you being a cripple." He said, before readyning his extremely sharp nails and rushing at Ryuto.
!
Mills Lane stood between the next combatants, Angel and Rimi. "First of all, let me just say how glad I am for not being the father of either one of you, because I would have probably died of a heart attack already after seeing the way you two dress…"
"Hey!" Rimi retortes, a little insulted.
"But don't take me wrong." Mills Lane continued without batting an eyeleash at the affronted face that the lolita-dressed girl was giving him. "Like any other man, I'm always in the mood to watch a good ol' catfight. I'm pretty sure there's going to be a lot of tapes of this fight stashed inside the drawers of many horny teenage boys by tomorrow next morning." That last comment wiped off the smile out of Angel and made her frown a little. "But nevermind that anyway, let's get it on!" He said, pumping his fist again and moving on the next fighters.
Angel vs Rimi Kokorone
The two women took their fighting stances and stared at each other, Angel was grinning mischievously to her opponent. "So Kitty Kat, I hope can give me a good time. It gets too boring when my opponents can't keep up with me." The former NESTS assassin said, rather chirpy.
Rimi just scowled at her. "Don't make fun of Rimi! Or Rimi will destroy you!" She said before throwing a punch at Angel's smiling face. The image of the Mexican woman simply distorted and stopped from being there anymore. Rimi just had a second to express her puzzlement before she felt a sharp pain exploding on her side as Angel connected a kick on her ribs; the impact sent the blond girl to the ground. Rimi could do nothing but clutch her side on pain as she stared up at a still smiling angel towering above her.
"Now, now Kitty Kat, please don't tell me that's all you can do. It's not any fun when my toys break too soon." She said before the expression on her face became deranged and her smile turned outright disturbing.
!
Mills Lane was already giving the highlights to the next pair of combatants. "Alright, you two look like pretty decent fellows so I guess I should not waste time explaining you the rules." He said turning glancing between K' and Tirawit Kokin who just stood there silently without any worry "So let's just get it on!" Mills said, pumped his fist and kept moving on.
K' VS TIRAWIT KOKIN
Both bronze-skinned fighters assumed a fighting stance, stared at each other for a few moments… Before both attacked at each other at the same time, K' with a punch and Tirawit with a knee-strike, the attacks connected with each other releasing a small thunderclap before both combatants went back to a neutral stance and kept assessing each other.
!
Mills lane called the next fighters to the center, Kajima Satomi and Nameless. "Well look at you two, all somber and misteryous with those rigid stances of yours. I don't know what happened to you two to have such grim faces and frankly I don't want to know. Let's just focus on what we came here to do; you can sort out whatever issues you have once you're out of the ring. Now, let's get it on!" He said with his usual signal and moved on the next fighters.
Kajima Satomi vs Nameless
"Let us begin with this combat; this will be a good chance to show the superiority of my martial arts." Kajima said taking a stance.
Nameless just looked and him and scoffed, before taking off his glove and launching a stream of fire at Kajima in a single swipe, the one-eyed young man was surprised by that kind of attack for a second, before he blocked it. The strength of the flames pushed him back a couple of feet, but he was able to successfully block the attack. But once he was about to lower his arms, he took notice of the pain it cost him to try to move them. Doing a quick inspection, he discovered how his arms had been singed and burned by the flames.
Nameless just kept speaking with a stoic face. "Let's do this quickly; the fate of someone very dear to me depends on me showing my worth to Pan. On that note alone there's no way some lowly thrill seeker like you could ever hope to defeat me, for I will not allow it. I will burn anyone that stands in my way." He said with determination as his fist was caught on fire and began to burn with an intense blue flame.
!
Mills Lane was already sorting out the next combatants. "Alright, now's your turn, personally I believe is a little unfair to have a youngster fight against a full grown man. But you seem to have been grown quite well son, so I guess you should be fine." He said speaking towards the tall and muscular Ethan Stanley who was standing in front of the also taller and broeader Maxima. "You all know the rules, so let'get it on!" Mills said pumping his fist before stepping away.
Ethan Stanley vs Maxima
"I apologize beforehand for what I'm about to do." Ethan said with a little bow before assuming a combat stance. "Do not worry; I'll make sure to contain myself enough to not kill you."
Maxima just smirked at Ethan's statement. "Bold words for a little brat like you. Let's see if you can back them up." He said taking his own combat stance.
They both stared at each other for a few moments before Maxima lunged towards Ethan and threw a straight punch at him with his big arm, at a slow speed for some reason. Ethan easily ducked under the attack and then rushed forward to strike at Maxima's arm on his Marma points and render the limb useless.
KILLER SAMUDAMUSHIKA!
The blond young man stepped away from Maxima and lowered his guard. "I have struck the Marma points along your arm; you will not be able to move your limb for the next few hours." He stated matter-of-factly, before Maxima struck him full in the face with that same arm with the strength of a ramming truck.
Ethan was driven to the ground with such a great impact that a thick cloud of dust was released from the crash. It took a moment for Ethan to push himself from off the ground; he coughed a little due to the dust and realized how he was bleeding from the mouth after that last hit. He looked up at Maxima with an expression of utter perplexity. "H… How…? You shouldn't be able to move your arm after I struck your pressure points…!?
"Pressure points…? Is that what you were trying to do to me? I'm sorry kiddo, but that is not going to work on me. In order to join NESTS I had to replace 80% of my body with cybernetics and become a cyborg supersoldier. Trying to attack my pressure points is a wasted effort, since I no longer have most of them…" Maxima declared rather unconcerned.
Ethan could only look at him in complete shock, knowing that most of his techniches in his repertoire would be totally useless against someone like Maxima. The Tall cyborg just simply cracked his knuckles before speaking again. "Now, c'mon then, get back up and let us resume our fight. I want to try the new upgrades Pan's been giving me over the last week." He said with a grin.
Ethan could not help but release a gulp.
!
Mills Lane had moved on the next combatants and was standing between the two youngest members of each group, Kula and Chikage Kushinada. "Now, sweethearts I'm not entirely comfortable in allowing two cute little girls like you, engage in a bloody street brawl with no holds barred until one of you is left broken and bloodied in the floor, and… you're not even listening to me, do you?" He deadpanned, looking between the unconcerned Kula, that wasn't focusing on anything else that wasn't licking her lollipop, and the enthranced Chikage that couldn't take her eyes from the year older girl's candy, a small bit of drool showing from the corner of her mouth.
Mills Lane could only stare at them both with a blank look. "Ah, whatever! I really don't care what you girls do, it can't be worse than force you two to a last man standing -or girl in your case- fight. Just go and do whatever you may want. Let's get it on!" Mills said, with his usual fist pumping and moved to the next couple of fighters.
Kula Daimond vs Chikage Kushinada
Both girls didn't move a muscle, focusing instead in keeping rooted to their spots doing the activities they already had underway. Kula enjoying licking her big lollipop with her attention closed to anything else, the same as her eyes. Chikage, staring at the big, colorful and tempting piece of candy in what it appeared to be a hypnotic trance; one could clearly see how the drool fell off her mouth. Nothing could be heard from the two except the sounds of Kula licking her Lollilop.

The blonde girl kept licking her lollipop unaware to anything else…
(Lick)
(Lick)
(Lick)
(Lick)
The girl began to scrounge her face a little, somehow perceiving that someone was looking at her, she paused in her candy consumption and opened an eye to take a glance at the girl in front of her, taking notice of the silly childish face that Chikage had while staring intently at her lollipop. Kula decided not to give it any importance and returned to licking her lollipop.
(Lick)
(Lick)
(Lick)
(Lick)
Kula opened her eye again and looked towards the girl, a year younger than her, in front of her once more. She puzzled for a moment before going back to licking her candy.
(Lick)
(Lick)
(Lick)
(Lick)
Kula stopped once more and this time she opened both of her eyes and turned towards the smaller girl in front of her. She looked at Chikage then back at her lollipop before nodding her head as if making a decision. She brought out a bag filled with candies from within the confines of her leather suit and set it in the ground to rummage among its contents; she then pulled a second lollipop and presented it towards Chikage.
"You want one?" She asked, innocently.
The little dark haired girl stood still for a moment in surprise before replying with a shy nod. "Yes please…" she said, before approaching Kula and taking the offered sweet. Kula then sat on the ground and motioned for Chikage to do the same at her side, Chikage did so without complaint sticking practically side by side to the older blonde. They both then began to lick on their respective lollipops in contentment.

Kula Daimond vs Chikage Kushinada
Kula Daimond Wins
Friendship…
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMM!
The massive facefaults that followed rattled the entire place up after all the people watching, witnessed how these two girls carried through with their fight.
"Awwwwwwwwwww! Kula has made a new friend!" Diana said, gushing at the two girls with such a tender face while she clutched her hands together, most of Pan's followers that were on the sidelines turned to look at her oddly. "They look so cute together, don't you think so?" She said, turning towards the closest person to her, which turned out to be Doctor Jackal. The deceptively harmless man just replied with a nod with his ever present kind smile.
"Yes, it is certainly a pretty heartwarming scene." Doctor Jackal said in agreement.
Pan just shook her head. "Kids… Damn! Seeing all that candy is making me hungry." She said as her stomach grumbled.
On the other side of the battlefield, Kushinada wasn't looking at the actions of her foster daughter with kind eyes and prepared to admonish her. "Chikage! Stop eating that junk! You know you cannot eat anything outside your diet, toss that thing away and stop fraternizing with the enemy…!" She began to berate, but a pointed look from Pan that was clearly seen by everyone on the other side of the field shut her up immediatly. "…Nevermind… (Grumbles)"
!
On Kanto the gathered students began to have their own reactions towards these last happenings.
"I want a lollipop too, Nii-chan!" Honoka wailed, turning towards her big brother with cocodrile tears.
"What!? Honoka! This is no time to eat candies, the fights that are going on right now are too important to ignore. Besides, I have no money with me; I left it all at the camp. And even if I had brought it, where do you want me to look for lollipops? We don't know where they sell those things around here." Kenichi said crossing his arms.
"But Nii-chan!"
"Und! I want candies too!" Hakufu declared with her own childish outburst, having heard the siblings conversation, she turned towards honoka and kneeled in front of her. "I know where we can get some candies; if you want I can take you with me and buy you some!" She said happily.
The eyes of Honoka began to shine in anticipation. "Really! Will you do that for me Boobie-chan!"
Hakufu just gave a sharp nod. "Und! Leave it to me!" she declared with a pose and giving a thumbs up and a wink.
"Yay!" Honoka cried and jumped at the older (and curvier) girl in a hug.
Hakufu returned the show of endearment and took the chance to carry Honoka in her arms. She turned towards Miu. "C'mon, you should join us too!" She declared before she shifted her hold over Honoka so she could carry her with a single arm and used to other to grab Miu by the wrist, pulling her along.
"What!? Wait, I don't know if we should… Just hold on for a moment!" The fellow blonde said in a very cute and not really effective display of resistance, as the other girl dragged her with her in a impromptu search of candy.
Kenichi was simply left there where he was standing, gaping. "What the hell just happened!?"
!
Back with the fights.-
Mills Lane had moved on to the last battle between unarmed opponents and was about to signal for it to begin. "Alright, you're the second last two combatants left of this set of fights, so let's not waste time with pleasantries. I want you to fight until only one of you is left standing. So let's get it on!" he said and finally stepping away and moving unto the last combatants.
Juri Han vs Boris Ivanov
Both warriors assumed a combat stance, Juri grinning creepily at her opponent. "Feel free to cry all you want little boy, I like it when my victims express how much they love my ministrations." She said as she passed her tongue over her lips and licked them in a disturbing fashion, her fake eye shining with an ominous violet light.
Boris tried not to show it, but he was disturbed by Juri's display of psychosis, he sook his head to clear his thoughts and steeled himself for the battle to come. "Come on; let us begin with this battle comrade." He said as he prepared to defend himself.
Juri's reply was to lunge herself at Boris with a barrage of kicks, the young soldier managed to block them but the strenght behind them forced him to lose ground against Juri who kept pressing forward with her attacks and left his arms feeling numb. Finally, during a spinning kick, Boris managed to grab Juri by the leg and used her momentum against her by performing a roll and forcing her into the ground with a Leg lock, with Boris atop of her twisting her limb and using his knees and his own weight to pin her down.
"It's useless, the more you resist, the easiest it is for me to break your limb." He declared, with a stoic face.
Juri just let out a small grimace of discomfort. "You better let me free, if you know what is good for you. All you're doing is pissing me off… And let me tell you, you don't want to piss me off…" She said in a small quiet threatening voice, before she used her amazing flexibility to pass her other leg around Boris neck and began to choke him, forcing him to let her go. Juri took the opportunity to spin around and drove the young soldier into the ground head first; using the centrifugal force to get back on her feet and leaving her standing with her left leg atop Boris' head, with his face buried in the ground.
"See… I told you, you didn't want to piss me off." She said cheerily, before she began to jump several times atop his head, kicking him down even more while she laughed like a little girl, and action that became even more painful due to the fact that Juri was still wearing her 100 pounds turtle shell that added to her weight. Juri squashed his head one last time and rubbed her foot down for good measure before she finally went away with a little girlie hop.
Boris was left in the ground groaning at his wounds. "Ugh…."
!
Mills Lane was finally between the last set of combatants and called them to the center to give his last speech for the moment. "Alright, you're the only ones left to be given the signal. I see both of you are armed, so I want to make it clear that there's the possibilty that one of you is not going to walk out of here alive." He said, taking glances at Whip's whip and guns, and Siegmarigen's scythe. "If you are willing to accept this then all I have left to say is that you're both free to do whatever you want in order to win. Do any of you have any objections…?" Both Whip and Siegmarigen shook their heads no. "Then there's nothig more to say but… Let's get it on!" Mills Lane shouted with his pumping fist before moving away towards the sidelines, having finally finished on giving the go signal to every single one of the battles.
Siegmarigen brought his scythe in front of him and began to lick the blade while he looked at Whip whip psycothic eyes. "Come sweetie, my scythe is eager of tasting your blood."
Whip just scrounged her face at him in a small scowl before she scoffed. "All you're going to taste is the soles of my boots you creep." She stated as she hit the interior of her left palm with her curled whip.
Siegmarigen just snarled at her insult and rushed towards Whip, swinging his scythe in a series of slashes to create a killing arc in front of him. Whip response was to simply unfurl her whip and stretcht it above her head in a stance while she waited for Siegmarigen to get close to her, before she swinged her whip along the ground, hitting Siegmarigen in the feet and tripping him, she immediately followed up with several swings of her whip that hit Siegmarigen full on the back while he was down on the ground. Despite the jacket he was wearing, the whip was giving him lash marks underneath his clothes.
STRINGS SHOT TYPE C "CODE: SHOURI"!
Siegmarigen was left screaming on the ground in pain after Whip finished with her lashes. "Arrrgh! YOU BITCH! THAT HURT!" he bellowed looking up towards Whip.
The young woman didn't like the way the little punk was talking to her, so she swinged her whip again and delivered a lash mark across Siegmarigen face. The attack shut him up cold and he brought his hands up to cover his injured face, he was left rolling in the ground as his new mark began to bleed.
"You have a very foul language." Whip said, curling her lips as she brought her weapon back to her with a move of her wrist. "I think I'll have to correct that…" She declared lashing her whip at her side for emphasis.

Berserker vs K'9999
The two combatants kept pummeling at each other, neither of them seemengly bothered by the rain of blows each one was receiving, until finally, it seemed K'9999 had enough and pushed Berserker away from him with a mighty kneestrike.
"Is that all you have!? C'mon, show me something more entertaining before I get bored, all this simple punches and kicks are getting old really fast." K'9999 said crossing his arms; he then gave an evil grin. "If you don't know how to do it, then let me show you…"
Berserker just looked at his opponent with a scowl. "Shut up and keep fighting!" He declared before rushing at him again.
K'9999 just looked at him with his grin never leaving his face, before he launched a wave of energy in front of him that hit Berserker in full and struck him five times in succession. Each hit kicking a small cloud of dust upwards as the attack kept moving forward; Berserker had been caught of guard by that attack and was left reeling on his feet.
ACCHIHE ITTEROO!
K'9999 didn't waste time to capitalize on that opening, his grin widening even more. "Raaaaaargh!" He bellowed as he rushed forward towards Berserker, his arm shifting and taking the form of a long pointy drill that began to reev.
WIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Berserker instincts warned him of the impeding danger despite his haze and he promptly put his arms in front of him to block any attack. K'9999 drill arm struck him in full and began to rapidly drill a hole through Berserker's left arm, spewing a red mist of blood everywhere. The screams of the blond young man soon followed.
WIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
SPLOSH!
WIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
"AH! GOD!"
WIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Berserker jumped away from K'9999 leaving a trail of blood behind him, clutching his left arm that was hanging limply at his side, a hole of 2 inches of diameter bleeding profousely in the middle, one could see clearly through it. Berserker was panting heavily trying to keep the pain down; he looked at K'9999 with shocked eyes.
Most of the people who were watching the fight wether be YAMI/YOMI, people watching through the live feed or even Pan's followers were left speechless after witnessing the way the battle scalated so quickly and turned gritty and bloody. It was now more than obvious that this confrontation was a serious affair in which the fighters had the actual risk of losing their lives.
!
In Kanto, Kenichi was reeling from the savage display of violence he had just witnessed.
"My god! Man, I'm so glad Honoka hasn't returned from her little search of candies. I'm sure mom and dad wouldn't want her to witness this…"
!
Back at the battle.-
K'9999 was simply enjoying the way his opponent was now fearful of him after he perfored his arm. He just couldn't stop smiling. "What's the matter, don't tell me you got scared? I'm only just starting!" He declared, before he leaped towards Berserker swinging his arm in front of him and releasing a jet of flame that struck against the blond brawler in full.
KUDAKEROO!
Berserker tried his best to defend himself with his only good arm, but he couldn't mount a proper defense due to his injuries. The flames pushed him backwards a few steps and leaved Berserker singed with most of his right arm covered in burns, now he was injured in both arms.
Berseker flinched a little at the pain. "Tsk… This may be trouble…" he turned to look at K'9999 with a cold stare. "I've had enough of you. I will not let myself be defeated like this!" He stated before he rushed towards the grinning K'9999 and began to rain down kicks at him.
The deranged clone just limited himself to evade the attacks or block them, sometimes he even let himself hit on purpouse just to spice things up. "Again with the simple kicks…? C'mon do something entertaining already! Surprise me!"
Berserk suddenly stopped in his attack and turned around, giving his back to his opponent. K'9999 was puzzled by that action; was his oponent giving up? "Why do you turn your back at me? Don't you know is dangerous to take your eyes off from your opponent? Are you suicidal or something? Do you wish for me to kill you?" He said as his arms shifted into a drill once more. "Very well, I will fullfil your wish…" He stated, as his drill-arm reeved again and he lunged at Berserker.
WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
But Berserker at the last moment jumped and performed a bicycle kick that struck K'9999 full on top of his head; the hit was so savage that it drove him to the ground with a violent impact.
The crazy clone was laughing after that hit. "Ha, ha, ha ,ha, ha. Now that's what I'm talking about!" he stated as he rose up immediatly, seemingly no worse for wear. "C'mon show me something else!"
His opponent brazen attitude was starting to piss Berserker off. "I am not your trained monkey to perfom tricks for you! Take this battle seriously or I will crush you!" He said before he leaped towards his opponent.
K'9999 saw him, still with that deranged smile of his plastered on his face. Before he called a stream of red fiery energy to rise from the ground, it covered a circular area around him, hinting at the form of a bubble, the fiery energy traveled upwards several meters into the air and struck Berserker in the middle of his flight. He was knocked out of the air and brought down back into the ground with smoke coming out of his clothes, as he had been crisped by fire once more, and was left on the floor twitching because of his burns.
TSUKI…(MOON)!
"Nnnnngh!" Berserk muttered, trying to move despite his burns, it only helped to agravatte his wounds, he was only succesfull in managing to assume a kneeling position.
K'9999 looked at him with an amused expression. "So you still can stand up? Impressive… Sadly, this fight is becoming rather boring, so I'm afraid I'll have to end it right. You should feel honored; I've decided to use one of my secret tehniques to end you."
Berserker, struggled to get back on his feet and managed to do so despite his ankles trembling and threatening to fail him. "Shut up! If you're going to attack then do it already!" The blonde said, putting a strong front.
K'9999 just smiled even more as he brought his left arm in front of his face. "Now, that's the right attitude, you've been a good sport. Here, have you reward!" The deranged clone declared, before he began to scream and his arm started to mutate and transform or so was the intention because it rather looked as if the limb was imploding upon itself. The disfigured appendice shot itself towards Berserker in a bizarre amalgamation of flesh, cables and circuitry, like some kind of monstrous and abominable giant worm, stretching its length beyond that of a normal human arm.
CHIKARA GA…KATTE NI…UWAAAA!
The monstruous arm moved at such a freakish speed, nothing was able to stand in its way; it struck Berserker in full and swept it away before it kept moving on its way unimpeded. The issue with this was that it was going on the direction of the rest of the combatants currently locked on their own fights. K'9999 was laughing like a psycopath while his arm carved a trail of destruction, crushing everything standing on its way.
Ryuto and Iori had to jump away the moment they saw the giant misshapen monstrosity coming at them. "What the…!?" In the case of Ryuto he had to leave his weelchair behind as its was swatted aside by the giant appendice, the grey-haired boy ended up rolling in the ground, and unable to stand back up due to his condition.
Rimi was the next to move away as the deformed limb threatened to almost swept her away too, oddly enough, the monstrous arm did its best to swerve away and avoid hitting Angel, leaving the white-haired assassin relatively alone and unharmed.
"What the hell is this thing!?" Yelled an extremely freaked out Rimi.
For Tirawit and K', it was pretty easy to avoid the arm's destruction path with a simple backward jump. All that this sudden interruption did for them was a small reprieve from their fight.
To Nameless and Kajima, the arm also didn't gave them any trouble, as they both had become momentarily separated during the course of their fight, the deformed limb simply passed through the space between them, leaving both fighters puzzled for a moment but otherwise unharmed.
Ethan Stanley and Maxima were also forced to dodge the incoming appendice, much to Maxima's annoyance. "Hey! Watch it!"
The arm kept slithering on its way and passed in front of Kula and Chikage; both girls simply watched the passing of the deformed limb with childish curiosity from where they were sitting while they kept licking their lollipops.
Juri was forced to move away as the arm went straight towards Boris Ivanov as he tried to lift himself up from the floor. The young Russian soldier tried to dive to the side to avoid the limb, but the arm still whiffed very close to him and actually managed to hit him in the face, tossing him aside and knocking him out.
Juri Han vs Boris Ivanov
Interrupted
Boris Ivanov KO'ed
Juri was not pleased with this development. "What the fuck!? Hey! That was my victim! Motherfucker! You cheat me out of my fight!" The Korean woman declared in outrage to the high heavens, pissed off by this interruption.
The deformed monstrosity managed to get on the way of even Whip and her opponent, even though hers was the furthest battle taking place away from most of the others. Whip used her whip to grab a nearby lamppost and propel herself away from the rampaging arm, Siegmarigen who was still in the ground managed to roll away just in time.
The arm began to spasm and lash violently to its surroundings, causing further destruction, Berserker was throw aside and fell to the ground in a broken heap due to the sudden erratic movements, K'9999 just kept laughing through all this. He swept his arm in a wide arc towards the rest of the YAMI members, who jumped the hell away from their spots to avoid the sudden attack of the crazed clone. The mutated limb kept moving on its course and impacted the side of the building under construction, breaking through anything standing in its way and taking a great chunk off from its base, the entire thing was suddenly covered in a cloud of dust.
K'9999 didn't seem to want to stop any time soon, he kept laughing in his deranged state and tried to crush any Yami member he laid his eyes upon. The Yami grandmasters couldn't retaliate the agression because of the erratic and sharp lighting-fast movements of the mishappen appendicce.
Finally, Pan had enough. She pointed a finger towards K'9999 and a thin ray of energy was launched from her fingertip, impacting pretty close to the crazed clone with the force of a grenade, pulling him out of his frenzy. "That's enough K'9! Stop your insanity before I decide to put you down!" She ordered in a tone that brooked no argument.
"Yeah, sorry…" K'9999 said before he called his arm back to him, the entire monstrosity of flesh and circuitry shifted again and all its formless mass went back inside the clone's articulation. Where did all that extra mass go? Who knows! But K'9999's arm returned to a normal shape.
All the people witnessing this event were outright creeped out by the unnatural abilities displayed by the psycopath clone. Just what did NESTS was trying to create in the first place? (I) The YAMI grandmasters were also unnerved; they thought Pan was the only individual they should be wary off. But it appears there are some among her followers with abilities and figthing styles so different from their own that even if they were to go all out there was no guarantee they'd be able to come out on top if push came to shove. This was certainly so outside their initial plans.
!
In Kanto all of the gathered students were left mouth-hanging with horrofied expressions on their faces after witnessing such bizarre abilities. It was then that Hakufu appeared, walking in alongside Honoka and Miu, a bag on candies in the hands of each girl, who were content munching on the sweets.
"Hayooo! We're back! Did we miss something…?" Hakufu asked innocently, looking at the mouthgaped gathered students as she brought a handful of candies into her mouth.
!
Back on the construction site, a quartet of mysterious men were watching the ensuing battle from the rooftop of a nearby building across the street.
"Goddamn those pests! Why did they choose to fight in here! They're tearing my workplace apart! They just destroyed the results of 2 months of hard work!" Said a very, very big and muscled construction worker with a face of few friends, wearing a construction helmet, jeans and a simple white sleveeless undershirt.
"(Cof) Easy brother, do not do anything rash. It seems no one was expecting something like this to happen, I'm sure they'll try to keep the damage to a minimum from now on. (Cof) (Cof) Do not try to make this a bigger issue than what it needs to be." Said a young shoulder-length darkhaired man dressed in simple clothes that appeared to have a cold.
"They better! Or I will go down there and given a lesson for trashing everything up!
The third man, a common looking office worker with short brown hair and strong chin wearing thick framed glasses looked at his left towards the last companion. "Who you're calling to?"
"Just some people I know, I have a feeling they would like to be here to see this." A handsome long-haired blond man wearing a suit said, as he held a cellphone to his ear. The 4 men turned their attention back to the still raging battles as each one had their own thoughts regarding them.
!
Back with Pan.-
The young alien girl was not amused by all the destruction created by her subordinate, normally she wouldn't have cared if he decided to blow the entire place up, but he got too out and control and interrupted the fights of the rest of her minions and almost hoarded all the fun for himself by going after the rest of YAMI. Saiyans don't look with good eyes to that kind of selfishness, not to mention how little respect they have for someone who can't control himself and his urges in battle. "I hope you're happy with what you've done; you wrecked the entire place up and we almost had to cancel the whole thing because you crashed on the battles of your companions. Very nice done." Pan remarked sarcastically. K'9999 had the decency to look sheepish and rubbed the back of his head in embarassment (or maybe it was because he knew Pan would kick his ass if he didn't showed deference to her)
"Ooops!" K'9999 said lamely.
Juri was not looking kindly at the clone after the stunt he pulled. "That bastard ruined my fight; he took out my opponent before I had the chance to enjoy breaking him! Now what I'm supposed to do!? Just look at him! He's not getting up any time soon." She raged in a tantrum as she pointed at the unconcious form of Boris Ivanov Sprawled on the floor.
Pan took a moment to look at the two YOMI disciples that K'9999 had taken out with his mutated arm with an indiscrutable face. ""You and I are going to have words after we are done here!" She said to K'9999 with a stare, she then turned towards Juri. "It's alright Juri, I promise you will still have a chance to fight. But right now, why don't you go and check on the guy that K'9 was fighting and tell us of his condition."
The purple clad woman let out a sigh before she acquisiced. "Fine, but I'm still not pleased with that asshole for ruining my fight." She declared, tossing a last dirty look at the clone before going to fullfil Pan's request.
Juri walked over the broken from of Berserker sprawled on the ground and let out a loud whistle once he saw the condition he was in. "Damn, that wacko kid really did a number on him!" She exclaimed, impressed.
"Is he even still alive?" Pan called towards her minion with curiosity.
Juri kneeled over Berserker and checked his pulse. "Amazingly, yes he still is somehow… What do you want to do with him?"
"Bring him over here alongside, the other guy you were fighting with." Pan ordered. She turned towards K'9999 and pointed at him. "And you… Come back over here, you've done enough for a single fight."
The clone did as he was told, and returned to the lines of Pan's followers, a dejected posture on his walk.
Juri carried the bleeding form of Berserker over her shoulder and then went over where Boris Ivanov was laying. She just grabbed the Russian boy by his foot and dragged him along behind her, she passed in front of Kula and Chikage who just looked over the Korean woman walking by them with carefree puzzlement as they kept licking their lollipops.
Once she returned to Pan's side, Juri simply let go of Boris' foot and dropped Berserker like a sack of potatoes in front of Pan so that the alien girl could see his condition with her own eyes. "Damn K'9! You really broke him up good." She stated impressed, looking at the lacerations and bruises that covered the body of Berserker compleately, the burns in his right arm, chest and face and the hole drilled through his other arm. He even had a bleeding contusion on the front of his temple; it was a miracle he was still breathing after getting rammed in full by the misshapen limb of K'9999.
The violent clone just simply gave her a cheeky smile.
Mills Lane coughed to change the conversation and aproached Pan. "Anyway, seeing how both this fighters are unable to continue, I declare this crazy boy the winner of his fight and cancel the fight of this woman as her opponent was caught as collateral by that last move. And I give a warning not to do that in my presence ever again, now let's get back to the fights!" He declared, trying to put things back on track.
Berserker vs K'9999
K'9999 Wins
K.O.
Brutality
Pan became aware how everybody was looking at her instead of getting back to their fights, she looked at all of them right back with a pointed stare. "What are you looking at, idiots!? You heard the man, stop staring and get back to your fights!" She commanded, and that was enough to get people moving.
!
Iori Yagami vs Ryuto Asamiya
Once Ryuto heard the signal of continue with their fights, he wasted no time to use his arms to lift his entire body of the ground and propelled himself with a great leap towards where his wheelchair had been tossed. Luckily it was still in optimal conditions, just a little roughed up here and there. Ryuto quickly set it back up again and climbed atop of it before wheeling back towards Iori.
"Well then, at least we can return to our battle without further interruptions." Ryuto stated, as he took defense stance and began to go through the motions of his Seikuken.
"Agreed…" Iori replied, internally impressed at the acrobatic skills of the disabled boy, he got the thought that maybe this fight will not be boring after all. He swiped at Ryuto with his hands poised as claws. The crippled young man blocked his attack easily and retaliated with a punch of his own. Iori blocked the attack too without letting up in his offensive and kept trying to claw at Ryuto, but every single of his attacks were expertly and effortessly blocked by the ashen haired boy who answered in kind with punches of his own that Iori was hard-pressed to block, some of them even got through but Iori ignored them and kept pressing on with his attack.
"It is useless; you will never be able to get past my Seikuken." Ryuto said pretty confident.
Iori just scoffed at his statement. "We shall se about that…" Before his fist was caught in a violet fire and he tossed a fiery projectile that traveled through the ground and made Ryuto recoil as he tried to block it. The wheelchair bound fighter was pushed a couple of steps back, his forearm singed by the blast of fire.
108 SHIKI YAMI BARAI!
Iori gave a cruel smirk. "It seems your defense is not as strong as you first thought" he stated mockingly.
The demeaning comments ended up pissing Ryuto. "Shut up! I will not let this insult stand!" He declared before he sent his wheelchair ramming towards him. Iori kept smiling and instead of trying to evade the incoming assault he meet it head on. Ryuto believe he was going to meet his attack with one of his own and was prepared to deliever a hit, when Iori dove to a side with a roll at the last moment allowing him to evade the attack and position himself behind Ryuto. Even though his wheelchair was still moving forwards due to its own momentum, Iori rappidly went after it and caught up to it before he began to deliver a series of clawed strikes at Ryuto's back. He ended his barrage with a last backhanded strike with his hand covered in purple flames as he rose with a jump, lifting his opponent and struck Ryuto 2 more times with that same motion of his arm as he kept going up, a trail of purple flames marking his ascension. Ryuto was left sailing through the air by this attack away from his wheelchair.
100 SHIKI: ONI YAKI!

Angel vs Rimi Kokorone
Rimi got distracted from her own fight, happening a few yards from Ryuto's own, as she saw her love interest being knocked into the air by the rising flaming attack of Iori, worry began to take a grip on her heart. "Hey! What are you doing!? Leave Ryuto-Sama alone!" She demanded, yelling after Iori.
She was brought back to the more immediate concern at hand, as another kick impacted in her abdomen with a loud thunderclap. "Is not a good idea to take your eyes away from our fight, Kitty Kat. I might end up hurting you badly, cutting my fun short." Angel said with a sing-song voice as he kept pummeling at Rimi with a barrage of punches and kicks before swinging both of her legs in a cartwheel and hitting Rimi with them.
STATE OF HEAT HAZE!
Rimi feel to the ground in pain and looked back at angel with hate filled eyes. "That's it! Rimi has had enough of you! Rimi will kill you and then go to help Ryuto-sama!" She declared, getting back to her feet again and started running around Angel in a strange way, moving her hands and feet at the same time. Her speed increased dramatically in just a few fractions of seconds making her really hard to follow for normal human eyes.
"What do you think of Rimi's Namba Hashiri? Not too easy to hit her now, right?" Rimi mocked as she kept running and changing directions unexpectedly without losing speed, she teased her opponent by running into attack range only to get out of it the next moment, finally she took some distance away from angel and headed straight towards her. Once she was about to reach her, she tossed a heavy punch while spiraling her arm at incredible speeds, the move created a vaccum of air around her arm, turning it into a veritable drill. If that punch were to land, it was obviously going to cause a lot of damage.
OGATA RYUU HAKUDAGEKIJIN!
Angel just smirked and ran at Rimi's attack head on, but just when she was about to ram her outstreched spiraling fist into the angel, the white-haired woman simply dissapeared with a blackstreak, surprising everyone who were watching the battle.
"What!?" Rimi asked in surprise, before Angel reappeared again in front of the blonde lolita-dressed girl and elbowed her right in the face, stopping her cold and before anyone could react she had dissapeared once more only to reappear behind Rimi, tapping the girl shoulder who could only turn her head around and look at Angel with a look of utter disbelief.
"H... How…?" Rimi asked with sweat dripping from her forehead as she looked at the way Angel was grinning at her.
BEYOND FRAMES!
"You know what's up next, don't you Kitty Kat?" Angel asked with an evil smile.
Rimi just had enough to let out a pitiful groan in dread. Angel just smiled even more, before she stomped the ground making energy float up with a yellow aura and punched Rimi in the stomach so hard to make her reech spit and send the blonde girl soaring into the air. The attack was so strong that Angel was pushed back a little by her own strenght.
REPPUN KAMUI!
Angel immediately followed up by raising her leg into the air in a overhead kick that struck Rimi as she was airbone, making her juggle back up.
SHELTER FROM STORM!
She then raised her arm with her palm open as Rimi was falling back down and struck her right in the face, sending her back into the air once more.
BYE BYE ROUGE!
After that, Angel just kept hitting Rimi with a combination of elbow-kneestrikes and kicks to keep the black-dressed Lolita girl juggling in the air as if she were her personal soccer ball. Those watching had just to coment on what they were seeing.
!
"Hmmmph… It seems Angel is having fun. Look at her, all happy kicking that other girl and keeping her in the air." Pan commented, looking at Angel with an unconcerned expression. "Seems she's going to be sleeping well tonight…"
"I didn't know the human body could bounce like that?" Nina said bringing a finger to her delicate chin and tilting her head to a side with an expression of mild interest.
"Dammit! I need to ask her to teach me how to juggle people like that. It looks fun!" Juri said with a creepy smile.
!
In Kanto, the students were raptly following every single movement of the beating that Rimi was receiving.
"Ouch! That looks painful." Takeda said with a wince.
Kisara looked down and began to feel her legs. "I wonder if I could do something like that."
Hakufu, Miu, Honoka, Apachi, Shigure and Touchomaru were bobbing their heads up and down, following each of Rimi's bounces. That is until Miu had enough and put both of her hands at the sides of her head with a silly expression on her face. "Ah…! I'm getting dizzy just by watching it!" She said with both of her eyes turning into spirals.
"Apa! Ball girl makes Apachi dizzy!" The Big Muay-Thai Grandmaster said in agreement with his own silly dizzy expression
!
Back on the fight.-
Angel had enough of kicking Rimi around like a soccer ball; after all she didn't want to break her just yet, so she dediced how she was going to end her combo. She delivered a high kick into the air and hit Rimi twice with that same leg, lifting the Lolita again to put her into position.
SENSELESS FISTS!
Angel let Rimi finally fall on peace without attacking her anymore, but just as she was about to touch ground, Angel picked her off the air grabbing her by the head. Rimi was in a too bad condition to do anything but hang limply in Angel's grasp, her body covered in cuts and bruises and her dress ripped in some sections. Angel continued with her attack by delivering a knee-strike right into Rimi's abdomen that sent her soaring into the air one last time, but this time she was sent flying into the distance, away from the white-haired woman.
MAD MURDER ROULETTE!
Rimi's body flew across several yards before finally heading back into the ground. It was at that moment that Angel decided to deliver her finishing move, she quickly dashed towards her and disappear altogheter from all sight, only to reappear back right on top of Rimi. Angel snatched the falling girl off the air, grabbing her by the neck with her legs in a submission hold, and brought her with herself as she lay on her back on the ground, before snapping her legs open, almost breaking Rimi's neck and tossing her aside like a broken doll.
RED SKY OF JAPONESIA!
Rimi groaned in pain, but tried to stand back up despite her injuries. She only managed to get on her hands and knees before her body spasmed due to her injuries and she began to cough blood. She brought a hand to her mouth until she calmed down and then stared incredously at her own blood dripping from her hand. She slowly turned to look at Angel with an expression of utter dread and disbelief. The white-haired assassin just kept smiling sweetly at her. (II)

Iori Yagami vs Ryuto Asamiya
Ryuto didn't wasted time to recover himself after Iori sent him into the air, he spinned around and landed with his hands and used them to leap back at his wheelchair once more and landing back into it in a sitting position.
"I see I'm going to need my best techniques in order to defeat you!" Ryuto said as he expanded his inner eye to the maximum for his next attack.
Iori just smiled as he let a purple flame burn inside his fist. "Let's see them then." He said before launching another ground-traveling fire projectile at Ryuto.
108 SHIKI: YAMI BARAI!
Ryuto watched the projectile coming in fast at him… And then he pulled his wheelchair up from underneath the seat with a mighty heave and somersaulted over the purple flame bringing the whole thing with him and landed in front of Iori, no worse for wear, while the redhead had a look of utter shock after what he had just witnessed. Ryuto then began to deliver a series of rapid and powerful palm strikes at Iori that landed with 100% of accuracy in weak spots all over his body. The flame-wielder tried to block the strikes raining down on him but failed every single time.
GUNGIR!
Iori was left helpless under the relenting assault of the crippled boy, he tried to block, dodge and evade the barrage that was raining down on him, but all his efforts proved fruitless. Ryuto felt himself sure in his victory. "See… There's nothing you can do to escape my attack! The techniques gained from my knowledge in ancient martial arts make me invincible! Die already!" he declared as he launched on last punch to end his opponent.
Against all odds, Iori caught that punch with his hand, enveloping Ryuto's with his palm; the ashen haired boy was left speechless unable to comprehend how his attack failed. "What…?"
Iori just looked at him with a stoic expression, a bloodied bruise at the corner of his mouth. "You say that your knowledge of ancient martial arts makes you invincible? Fool! Few can compare in age with the Yagami style of martial arts, there's no way that your puny techniques will defeat 25 hundred years of heritage so easily." He said as his hand was caught on fire once more, surrounding and burning Ryuto's fists that was still caught inside Iori's grasp.
Ryuto could only grind his teeth trying to contain his pain, as he squirmed under the redhead unforgiving hold. "Nnnnngh!"
Iori then put his other hand above Ryuto's head, grabbing him, and slammed him violently into the ground to then blast him with a surge of purple fire that left Ryuto writhing in pain.
212 SHIKI: KOTOTSUKI IN!
Iori grabbed and pulled Ryuto off the ground and brought the ashen haired boy at eye level with him before continuing to punish him with a quick combination of clawed and knee strikes, he then began to slash away at him with his forearms while sliding forward, hitting him two times and sending Ryuto up into the air at the second hit. Only for Iori to go after him and intercept him with a double axe handle to the head, sending Ryuto diving back into the ground.
127 SHIKI: AOIHANA!
As Ryuto tried to lift himself back with his elbows, Iori just looked down at him impassively. "Be ready…!" He warned, Ryuto could only look up at him in shock before Iori lifted him up with a kick. He then released his ki by doing a quick pose, lifting his arm up while using the other as support on the forearm, before he rushed forward and intercepted Ryuto with a flurry of fast clawed strikes and scratches that began to cut Ryuto and make him bleed. He finished his attack by catching Ryuto on an embrace and blasting him off with a small explosion of purple flames, sending the crippled boy crumbling back into the ground.
KIN 1211 SHIKI: YA OTOME!
Ryuto rolled on his back despite the immense pain to look at Iori with something that appeared to be respect. It seemed he had found a real warrior with skills better than his own.

Ethan Stanley vs Maxima
Maxima cracked his knuckles and popped his neck before signaling Ethan to resume the fight. "C'mon kid, let's do this. I don't have time to stand in here all day, if you don't attack me; I'm going to attack you." The cyborg super-soldier said with a mildly bored expression.
Ethan just grinded his teeth in impotent exasperation, he knew he was not going to be able to defeat Maxima through normal means, as he had already proven to be immune to his pressure points attacks and he doubted he could surpass on a test of pure physical strength too. But seeing as there was no other choice… "Fine! Let us be done with this, already!"
Maxima cracked a grin. "Alright, that's the spirit. Tell you what. I'll even let you go first, so go ahead. Hit me with the best you got."
Ethan didn't need any more incentive and lunged at Maxima head on with a fast straight double knife strike that that impacted right in the middle of Maxima's chest, who didn't even blinked at the strike.
SNAKE STANCE!
Ethan followed up with a powerful straight high kick towards Maxima's head, who again wasn't even frazzled by the attack.
MARHARSHIVA KICK!
Finally, Ethan charged straight at the cyborg with his shoulder.
BOAR STANCE!
He impacted into Maxima's chest in full, but he didn't even managed to move him a millimeter, Ethan could only sweatdrop as Maxima looked down at him with a blank face.
"Mmmmph… So it is true, Pan's new upgrades have indeed increased my performance way beyond my previous limits." Maxima mused half-absentmindedly.
"Wha… What…?" Ethan asked with strong dread, seeing how all his attacks had been totally useless to even ruffle the Cyborg's clothes.
"Oh, sorry I was lost in my thoughts. You see, after Pan discovered I was a cyborg she decided to work and upgrade my systems so that they could be on par on level with the ones of the cyborgs on her planet. She said she's going to model mine like those of a cyborg she knows named 16, but she also said she wants to give me some of the abilities and scanning parameters that her little robot Giru has. She only just began to apply these new modifications on me a few days ago, but I can already feel a tremendous improvement already. I can't even imagine how powerful I'm going to be once she's done." Maxima said with a smile. (III)
"Oh but where are my manners? We have a fight to finish, let's see… Let me take some readings to see how much power I will need to defeat you without killing you." Maxima said as his eyes were covered by small holographic displays showing him scanning information and power inputs. "Ah yes! This should be enough!" He declared in satisfaction after a couple seconds.
In less than it takes to blink, Maxima struck Ethan in the chest with a powerful straight punch that released a trail of vapor around his fist; the impact sent Ethan flying at least a dozen yards towards the interior of the building under construction were he went straight through several walls before stopping and falling to the ground unconscious. Suffice to say, most of the people watching were left flabbergasted at that feat.
M4 VAPOR CANNON!
After that impressive display of strength, Maxima was left staring at his fist, that was still releasing vapor, with a sheepish look on his face. "Ooops! I think I overdid it a little. I still haven't gotten used to these new power settings." He said as he brought his other hand to scratch the top of his head.
Ethan Stanley vs Maxima
Maxima wins!
K.O.

"Damn Pan! Those new upgrades you've been giving Maxima are certainly pretty impressive." Foxy said with a whistle, honestly impressed at the improvements the alien girl had been giving to the Cyborg Super-soldier.
Pan simply replied with a scoff. "Please, that was nothing. I've only begun to upgrade his systems a short few of days ago and haven't had much time to work on him since I too have been working in upgrading Candy's systems. I have only been able to apply around 10% of the modifications I have in mind. Just you wait, by the time I'm done with him; those two are going to be the more powerful beings on earth right after me." She stated with outmost certainty.
Her followers could only turn to look at her with stunned expressions, in the end they simply shake their heads and decided to drop the matter. Sometimes; they can't help but wonder what the hell they got into when they accepted to follow the strange girl from another world.

Well, I believe this is the perfect part to cut the story for now. Next, we will continue with the battles of the disciples, and then if there still space, we shall move on with the Masters of YAMI. And it seems some mysterious individuals have taken interest on this fight, who could they be? What would their role in all this be? Stay tune to find out, and leave a review while you're at it.
(I) One thing I have to point out is how the entire cast of Kenichi is at a serious disadvantage when facing the cast of King of fighters, I mean they have energy attacks and have superpowers, like shooting fire or ice from their hands or morphing their arms or even teleport. Many of the characters with ties with NESTS have this last one, its called translocation but it's the same shit. If you look at videos of matches between experts, you see that the battles are pretty fast paced with the characters teleporting everywhere around. Again that's a disadvantage that the cast of Kenichi will not easily overcome not even if some of them have supersonic speeds. All the cast of KOF is more at the level of the Ryozanpaku and YAMI masters, they would be able to fight against Iori Yagami or Kyo Kusanagi in a more equal standing since they too are superhuman in their abilities. You have to remember, several of the KOF cast (Especially those among Pan's group) can't even be classified as human anymore, since they are more along the lines of genetically engineered clone super-soldiers with superpowers. So the disciples of YOMI are simply going to get their assess kicked.
(II) Angel… fighting against her is a shit, she's such a dirty pig. Advanced players can so easily trap you in an endless combo with this character, if they manage to lift you up into the air; you're not going to set foot on the ground again. Just look at the videos depicting her combos.
(III) Yes! Pan is going to give Maxima the same skills and powers as the androids of DBZ, using 16 as a base. His power level was 450,000,000 when he fought imperfect Cell, and that was before Bulma rebuilt him and gave him some improvements. He's still around in this universe since he was revived with the Dragonballs after Cell's defeat. So Pan, by putting Maxima and Candy up to par with the androids of her world, is turning them in the most powerful beings on planet earth right after her, and the most powerful minions serving under her command. So there's practically no one right now in the beginning that can stand against them. I mean even if Maxima has just received 10% of these modifications, his power is already over 40,000,000. More than enough to destroy earth several dozen times over.
Also because I forgot to point it out, that thing about Saiyans gathering in groups an not betraying their comrades. That's mostly true since that was the way that saiyans worked during their planet conquest days, is how Bardock and his group treated each other. Vegeta dosen't count much, since even if he considered his two companions trash, Nappa made the suggestion of reviving Raditz once they gathered the dragonballs, which Vegeta turned down. And when he betrayed Nappa, one could clearly see that Nappa didn't saw that coming and clearly hadn't expected on being betrayed. A Saiyan betraying a fellow Saiyan was not a thought that had even dared cross his mind.
