As Yamamoto's sword stabbed toward Cho's chest, Cho raised one if his blades and deflected the blade, raising his foot and kicking Yamamoto in the chest, knocking him to the ground. "Humans," Cho said as he approached, "pathetic and weak."

"Shigure Soen Ryu," Yamamoto said as he got up.

"Again with your sword tricks," Cho said as he began to charge Yamamoto. Cho crouched down as he approached and began stabbing his blades into Yamamoto's gut repeatedly. But instead of flesh, Cho's blades met with water as the wave crashed down over him. By the time he realized what had happened, Yamamoto had slashed him across the back.

"Utsushi Ame," Yamamoto said as Cho became enraged. He wildly swung at Yamamoto, who met Cho's blade with his sword. The force of the clash creating strong vibrations down his sword, causing Yamamoto to lose his grip on his sword. Seeing the opening, Cho stabbed his blade into Yamamoto's shoulder, forcing him to the ground where he stabbed his other blade into Yamamoto's remaining shoulder.

"You'll find it'll be some time before you'll be able to use those arms again," Cho said as he retracted his blades. "You're lucky that my master has demanded that I let you live." He lifted one of Yamamoto's limp arms and took the rain ring from his finger. "This is all he requires of you," Cho said as he put the ring into one of his pockets and left Yamamoto laying there, arms limp and bleeding as the sprinklers rained down on him.

Tomo growled as the bombs struck her from behind, almost dissolving her liquid-like state. She paused to pull herself together. "You'll pay for that," She said as she extended her claws into the ground, coming up underneath Gokudera's feet. Gokudera rolled out of the way of this attack and tossed a few more bombs at her feet. The fuses were short and she had no time to evade them. The explosion threw her into the building behind her.

Tomo howled in anger as she threw herself at him, she got to him before Gokudera could dodge or get more bombs to throw at her. She wrapped herself around him almost compleatlly. "I'll crush your body and absorb it into my own," she teased as she began to constrict him. "You'll become a part of me, won't that be fun?"

"You forget something," Gokudera said as he did his best to try and fight her off to no avail. "My bombs are hidden all over my body, all of which have automatic fuses, they're very tricky to handle if you don't know what you're doing. Not to mention these fuses are very difficult to put out, the only person I've ever seen do it is the Boss." Shortly after the sound of many fuses igniting,Tomo panicked and tried to pull herself off of Gokudera but it was much too late, once one of the bombs went off, it caused a chain reaction that detonated every single bomb Gokudera had on him. The collective explosion was massive, filling the entire courtyard and rising upward, shattering the windows of the building.

When Gokudera woke he was still laying in the courtyard, his body ached, no doubt there were severe burns on his body. After what seemed like a long time he knew he had to get up, he had to see what had happened to his opponent. Despite his body's protest he managed to force himself into a sitting position, across the courtyard he saw a guy picking up Tomo who had returned to her human form. She seemed to be in just as bad of shape that Gokudera felt that he was in. The guy seemed like he had been in a fight as well. Considering that he was soaking wet and had a few slashes in his clothes Gokudera deduced that he had been fighting Yamamoto. And then he realized that if that guy was here, then Yamamoto must've lost to him. Gokudera groaned in effort as he tried to get up but fell as his legs buckled under his weight. "Baseball idiot," he said, "don't you die here." Those were his last words before he lost consciousness.

Lambo didn't give Hirari any time to react as he quickly got up and kicked Hirari in the face, making him stumble back. "Maybe that'll help fix that ugly face of yours."

Hirari growled, "Stupid human," he said as he lashed out with his long arms, trying to swipe at Lambo who dodged around them easily. He grabbed onto Hirari's wrist and said, "Elettrico Reverse," releasing waves of electricity directly into his body, paralyzing him again. Lambo followed this up by saying, "Thunder Set." Immediately thunder could be heard as lightning struck Lambo on his horns. Lambo smirked and charged Hirari as the stored up electricity extended from his horns and struck the paralyzed monster. Hirari was instantly thrown to the ground where he returned to his human form, unconscious.

Satisfied, Lambo turned to Kyoko, Haru and I-pin. "You guys alright?" He asked.

The three of them looked to each other as if asking if that really happened before turning to Lambo, nodding.

"Good," he said, "I know Tsuna'd be upset if any-" his sentence was interrupted by a large cloud of pink smoke. Once it cleared, the original 5-year-old Lambo was there, sitting on the ground.

"Kyoko, Haru," he said, "Lambo-san is hungry!"

Mukuro swung his trident at the thing's head, but it just seemed to disappear from view as his trident passed through thin air. He looked around and chuckled, "a fellow illusionist I see," he said as he used his illusions to change their environment into nothing but white. No landmarks, no obsticals, just pure white all around as far as the eye could see. "So, how to cast illusions on something with no face, no eyes to see and no ears to hear?" Mukuro turned to see the thing standing behind him, seemingly unaware of the new surroundings. Mukuro smirked and rushed toward it, once again swinging at it when it was in range. This time his trident struck true and knocked the creature down. "Sorry, but I control this space," He told it, "you won't be doing any of your own tricks without my permission. "

The creature didn't respond vocally but sprouted several black tenticals from its back, lashing out at Mukuro but the deflected them easily. Mukuro hit the ground with the butt of his trident and tendrils of earth rose up around the creature and grabbed its limbs, tearing off its tentacles. Mukuro was about to attack it again when It slipped out of the grasp of Mukuro's tendrils. Sprouting more tentacles and stabbed two of them into Mukuro's chest, or so it seemed. Mukuro had dodged the attack but left an illusion of himself behind, allowing the creature to think it had won. He then created another illusion of himself, placing it behind the creature. "Over here," his illusion said. Mukuro repeated this process, each new illusion repeating the same phrase, "over here," while masking his own presence by making himself seem invisible. The creature looked around at the illusions, if it had a face Mukuro suspected it would be confused. He smiled as all of the illusions attacked, as they did, Mukuro made these illusions physical, so every hit landed was made real. They attacked from all sides until the creature became frustrated and extended a mass of tentacles, piercing into every illusion of Mukuro. As he did this, Mukuro rushed it, removing his veil of illusion just before the last blow. But the creature saw this coming and disappeared, as did Mukuro's illusion setting, returning him to the school's rooftop. He looked over and saw the creature's host still laying on the ground.

Ryohei pulled as hard as he could from Same's tentacles, as they pulled him closer and closer to his maw full of razor sharp teeth. Same pulled him in and said to him, "These arms are precious to you, are they not? Let's see how you react when I tear them off, one at a time." He then bit down on Ryohei's left shoulder. At that time Ryohey wrestled his right wrist from Same's tentacle and drove a hard punch to his eye. Same released Ryohei's shoulder as Reohei pulled his arm from Same's mouth and used it to drive a second punch to the side of Same's face, knocking a few of his shark teeth out .

Ryohei was bleeding quite a bit from that bite, he knew he'd have to finish this quickly. "Do you know what I heard about sharks?" He asked as he dodged around Same's attacks with his tentacles. "If you punch them in the nose, they back off. Let's see if that's true." He suddenly began running at Same, dodging the tentacles as he wound up a hard punch exclaiming, "Maximum Cannon!" as he struck Same hard, right on the nose. Same howled in pain as he immediately ran from the ring. "Seems like it was true," Ryohei said with a smirk.

The ends of Hibari's tonfas opened up and a pair of small flails extended from inside as he kept attacking. Sanda may be able to block Hibari's Tonfa, but the flails would fly around his defenses and strike him. And each time their weapons clashed, another wave of electricity ran through Hibari's body.

"How?" Sanda asked, "how are you still alive!" The constant barrage of flails was getting to him as his blocks were slower and slower.

"Because you're irritating me," Hibari replied.

"Shut up!" Sanda exclaimed as he thrust his lightning bolt toward him. Hibari ducked under the attack and swung at Sanda's gut with his tonfa. The attack was all he needed as Sanda stumbled from the force of the blow, trying to catch his breath. Hibari wasted no time in unleashing a barrage of attacks, all of wich striking hard on Sanda's face and body, ending it with an uppercut to his chin.

"This is impossible!" Sanda said, "I'm an Olympian. A god!"

"I told you," Hibari said as he raised his tonfa above his head, "I'll bite you to death." Bringing it down on Sanda's head and knocking him out.
