Chapter 10- First Round
Keishin had the first match of the day, at noon, and he was oversleeping. Why? He had been up all night working on Teramora and improving his angel's already formidable abilities. For example, he replaced the Ion Blast ability, with the Mukankaku Dageki, or 'Numb Strike' which had the same effect as his Ion Blast, only it was close-ranged and cost less AP. He still had the cannon, but it now only gave him a damage boost, and he couldn't use it and the baton at once anymore.
Another things was Keishin had bought two AD packs, and a AA chip using money from his job. This boosted Teramora's stats, as well as forced Keishin to stay up installing and synchronizing the software, so it would be most effective.
All in all, this lead to Keishin staying up to three o' clock in the morning.
Despite his alarm, Keishin would have slept in, had he not been woken up by his friend, Miyouri.
A loud, obnoxious, clapping sound disturbed the silence of Keishin's room, suddenly, and Keishin himself sat upright near-instantly, trying to keep the sound out of his ears.
"Wakey-Wakey! You're going to miss your match Kei-chan!" Miyouri shouted, while smacking two metal sheets together.
"Ahck! What time is it?!" Keishin yelled as he looked at the clock, which read '11:53' "Crap!" Keishin pushed Miyouri out the door and put on his custom uniform, hastily correcting it. '11:55' A few seconds later, he was out the door kicking up dust on his way to the stadium.
'11:59' Was what Keishin's watch said as he skidded into the contestant's lounge, a few seconds from being late, he collapsed into a seat where the other contestants stared at him until the attendant came in and made an announcement, "Would number eighteen please report to the stadium?"
Her words revived Keishin in a seemingly impossible manner as he left, heading toward the blue side of the stadium. As he got in the chair, it rose until it was adjacent, above the stadium floor, with the red-side contestant: Aya Tachibana. She was a slim girl wearing a school uniform, a simple white shirt with red skirt and long socks. She was also wearing a red bow in her orange-red hair, which reached to her collar bone and covered some of her central-shirt. She had no bangs and her eye-color wasn't visible due to the Angel Visor.
The referee asked each of them if they were ready, and they replied positively at the same time. "Bring down the sky! Chisora, Angel descend!", Aya threw her angel into the layer with an air of confidence. Her angel was dressed in the same outfit as Aya, only her skirt was blue. Chisora also had a pair of angel's wings folded behind her back, only they were blue.
"Enforce our will, Teramora! Angel descend!" Teramora descended into the layer headfirst, landing in a handstand and flipping forward to face his opponent. His baton synthesized and he extended it, performing a quick bow for his opponent.
As soon as soon as Teramora finished his bow, the referee shouted, "Angelic Fight!" The arena transformed into an ancient Greek city, with columns scattered about, some only half size with the rest lying broken beside them. There were the ruins of a temple, which was filled with blocks of stone and statues, as well as beautiful carvings of various Greek mythical deities. There was a long stone space in front of the temple, with Columns lining it, some broken. There were also a few smaller temples out behind the columns, perpendicular to the main temple. The sky was in permanent sunset as the angels faced each other on either end of the stone walkway.
This was the arena they'd fight in.
Chisora made the first move and took cover behind one of the still-standing columns. She peaked out of cover and fired a bolt at Teramora, which split into three bolts, all heading to where Teramora was standing. This dropped her SP to 16.
Teramora boosted behind the nearest column, before boosting again toward Chisora's position, as soon as he was there, flew on top of the column and used frozen tide, making it rain ice onto Chisora's last position, which promptly shifted to trap her, or attempt to at any rate, in its 'Death's Embrace' attack.
Unfortunately for Teramora, as soon as he took flight, Aya saw where he was and Chisora ran into the temple, escaping 'Death's Embrace' by hairbreadths. Once Chisora was inside, Aya swapped her visor to a first person view, seeing from Chisora's eyes since the building's roof was still intact.
Keishin growled in frustration, switching his visor to first person as well when Teramora followed her into the temple. Everything was quiet as Teramora entered, his baton still extended. Annoyed with the lack of progress, Keishin had Teramora draw a rune, while he mouthed a phrase. 'Migoto en Hari'
Instantly, even though the temple had a roof, millions of tiny shards of glass started drifting through the sky as Teramora collapsed, in the center of the temple.
Chisora ran from cover, seeing Teramora collapse, and fired a flaming bolt at him, before rushing him with her blade. Her Sp had dropped down to 14.
As soon as Chisora left cover, the glass floating around shifted into a see-through cage, around Teramora, which absorbed her attacks
Chisora ran outside the temple and aimed at the door, ready to fire at the slightest movement. 'He has to come out if he wants to finish the match.' was all that went through her head.
The glass cage lifted and smashed a hole in the back of the temple. Teramora got up as the glass stopped falling, walking just far enough so he could be outside, and the glass started falling again.
This time it quickly formed into a clone of Chisora, standing directly behind her. The clone's hands turned into blades and she impaled both the angel's head, and heart, pinning her as the blades spiked off within the angel's body like the limbs of a tree. In the end, she had what looked like a glass skeleton inside her, fitting her tendons and such perfectly.
The clone vanished as the skeleton remained. It moved and Chisora moved with it. The thing began forcing Chisora to punch herself, until Keishin had thought of a better fate for her. All in all, Aya had no idea what happened when the skeleton exploded, dealing a point of damage for every shard of glass. Even if she found out, it was useless as there were thousands of shards, all of which shot from inside of Chisora, making dodging an impossibility.
Aya collected Chisora with a shocked expression, looking at Keishin. Without saying anything, Aya left the stadium.
Keishin collected Teramora in silence, before getting out of the stadium himself, vanishing into the crowds. He went home, and promptly went to sleep.
