Ravage and Daidouji locked hands and butted heads, struggling against one another as Homura looked on from the sidelines. As they continued to struggle the two were engulfed in their auras once more, the wind created by the clashing energies making a little sandstorm around the two. They bashed heads again, blood now streaming down both the kitsune's and kunoichi's foreheads. Ravage felt he was beginning to lose the struggle. Daidouji's eyes glowed with power as she began to push the demon back. Ravage grated his teeth. Daidouji continued to force Ravage back, picking up speed as their auras clashed and whipped around their bodies.
"Why are you holding back in this instance? I have you on the defensive here." Daidouji growled.
"No fun in an easy battle." Ravage answered.
"Agreed. Pain helps you grow stronger." Daidouji grinned. Ravage was slammed into the side of a cliff. The debris pelted both Ravage and Daidouji as Daidouji held Ravage in place, his back momentarily breaking before he let his healing factor kick in and do its job.
"I really don't need any power, but experience is always welcome." Ravage's aura exploded and blew Daidouji back. "Tell me something, you countered my time-stop. What do you intend to do with that power?" Ravage cracked his neck from side to side as Daidouji backflipped to safety. "You wanna learn how to use it yourself don't you? Or maybe you already can?" Ravage chuckled.
"I'll admit that I cannot, but I do find the power intriguing. I was only able to break through it barely, it took everything I had." Daidouji adjusted her cap. "Maybe conquering that power should be added to my list, after all the trouble I went through to overcome it. But that's a mountain to climb later."
"I admire your determination to overcome every obstacle, master any technique. Maybe I'll teach you a few one day. Maybe I could learn some from you." Ravage folded his arms. "Heh, maybe I already have."
"You are indeed a quick learner then." Daidouji folded her arms.
"Runs in the family." Ravage commented.
"You one to let your bloodline determine your fate?" Daidouji questioned.
"No, merely show me the way. It gave me my power, I'll use that power to gain knowledge and honor those who came before, for I may be the last. Then again who knows? I sure as hell don't." Ravage shrugged. "Now, allow me to show you my gained knowledge." Ravage held out his demon arm to the side and a copy of Daidouji's cap materialised in his hand. Daidouji's eyes widened. "Lemme guess, your next line is..." Ravage put the cap on his head. "Yare Yare." His headfur went from white to jet-black.
"Yare Yare... What?!" Daidouji stepped back.
"Yo gramps, let's rock." Ravage put his hands in his short's pockets as a copy of Daidouji's longcoat appeared over him. He looked over his left shoulder. "Heh, only a million?" He understood the kanji on the back of the longcoat. "Ah well." He looked back to Daidouji. The upper body of his grandfather's spirit appeared behind him. "Good grief, ain't this bizarre. Well, here we go." He turned his back to Daidouji as his grandfather's spirit flew at her and adjusted his cap.
"ORA!" Ravage's Grandfather exclaimed as he launched into a flurry of rapid punches. Daidouji jumped back and then dodged around each and every attack as Ravage began walking towards her, his left hand still in his pocket as he strutted forward and his grandfather continuing his attack. "Ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora!" Daidouji performed a series of backwards handstands to create some distance between her and the fiery spirit. Daidouji then leapt up into the air and went in for a dive-kick. Ravage's grandfather easily blocked the attack.
"Heh, alright, time to really see what I can do." Ravage cracked his grandfather's spirit disappeared as Daidouji landed back on the ground. Daidouji immediately dashed towards the kitsune. Ravage ran his left index finger along the brim of his cap as his right eye glowed with power. He reappeared directly in front of Daidouji as she was mid-dash and cut off her wind with a mighty gut punch. Daidouji coughed up blood and stumbled back from the blow. Ravage followed it up with a powerful left hook, knocking Daidouji off balance before he launched her up into the air with a crescent moon kick. Ravage leapt up after Daidouji and continued his assault with a series of rapid claw swipes before launching her away with a kick. Daidouji was sent flying through the air and only barely recovered in time to block Ravage's next attack as he came flying at her.
"Remarkable, you've imitated my style impeccably." Daidouji noted.
"Family gift." Ravage smirked. They leapt back from one another and landed back on the beach below. "Soul Copying allows me to replicate many things from my targets, from attacks and weapons to clothing. I used a non-lethal varient of the technique, trust me. There's also Essence Copying for those without souls but that's a more specific technique and obviously not used as frequently by me or my mother."
"This'll be good training to see where my strengths truly lie, and what weaknesses I have that must be crushed." Daidouji clenched her right hand in front of her face. Ravage smiled.
"Happy to help."
