Both Ichika and Issei were using their respective armors. John also seemed to be getting ready.
In the blink of an eye, John ran forward and landed a punch straight on Issei's face.
Ichika tried to shoot him using Setsura, but John dodged easily.
John ran to Ichika, grabbed his arm, and then threw him on the ground. After that, John was going to stomp Ichika, but he was able to evade using Ignition Boost.
Before John could go after Ichika, Issei shot a Dragon Shot at him.
Then, Issei dashed towards John and punched him several times. The strength was so intense that the punches send John a few meters back.
"Yes, that's it! Unlike Carl, I'm not really into defending and using techniques. I'm more of a straight up fight man."
Neither Ichika nor Issei knew who Carl was. They though that it might be the other henchman, but they could think about it later. Right now, they needed to beat John.
[Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!]
That sound was coming from the jewels on Issei's armour. Both Ichika and John could notice that he was getting stronger.
Ichika got his Yukihira Nigata ready to attack.
Issei charged to John, who defended the attacks. Ichika used Ignition Boost to get close fast, then used his Yukihira Nigata to try to attack John.
But, John dodged. He then punched the ground. That destroyed the ground and got both Ichika and Issei out of balance.
John charged for Issei, but Issei was able to block many of his attacks with his armor. Ichika shot with Setsura, the shots hit John, but didn't seem to make much damage.
John grabbed Issei's arm and threw him in Ichika's direction. Both of them were send far away, they both got up.
"Damn, doesn't seem like we're much of a match like this."
"Issei, do you have some plan?"
"Yeah. I could try using my Crimson Armor, but we could end up destroying the town like this. So I think I know what to do."
"Tell me what you're thinking."
Issei then told Ichika his plan. It wasn't a smart plan, but it could very well work.
John then got the where they were.
"Now's not the time for talking, it's time to fight!"
John tried to punch in between Issei and Ichika, but they both dodged it.
"Ichika, let's do it."
"Yeah."
Then, they heard a sound coming from Issei's armor.
[Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!]
[Transfer!]
All of the power that Issei had accumulated had been transferred to Ichika.
Ichika then got Yukihira Nigata and charged forward.
He and John were on an intense battle. Ichika with Ignition Boost was barely able to keep up before, but now they were in the same level of speed even without Ignition Boost.
But, something was missing.
What was Issei doing?
John wondered that, but he didn't even need to look. Because, they could hear a sound that they had heard just now.
[Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!]
Was he planning to send more power to Ichika?
That's what John was thinking, that's why he wasn't ready for what came next.
Issei charged forward and punched John on his face. The impact was so strong that Ichika might have been hurt by it if he hadn't gotten out of the way before.
John was send a few meters away before he came to a stop.
"Yes, that's it. Ken had already told me of the abilities of the four of you, but I didn't think the fight would get this interesting. I'll use my full power as well."
Then, it looked like John's muscles got tenser. Then, John threw a punch at the air, of course it didn't hit neither Issei nor Ichika.
But, the same couldn't be said for the wave that was send trough the punch.
Since neither Issei nor Ichika was ready for that, they both were hit. It didn't do much damage, but if they were hit with a few more of this then things could get ugly.
"Issei, I think now is the time."
"Yeah. Let's do it."
Ichika used Ignition Boost and instantly closed the distance between him and John.
John tried to punch him, but Ichika dodged. Instead of attacking, Ichika grabbed John's arm and flew up with him.
Once about 30 meter up in the air, Ichika started spinning John and after a while, he threw him as far away as he could. However, it wasn't very far.
But, that was just what Issei needed.
"Promotion: Bishop!"
Then, two cannons appeared on Issei's shoulders. Then, Issei shouted.
"Dragon Blaster!"
Issei shot from the canons. The shot surely killed John, but, since he was in the air, it didn't damage the city.
Then, both Ichika and Issei sat down. Rio suddenly appeared.
"Wow. You guys did good. Head to a town east from here. I'll tell Basara and Shido to go there once they beat their opponent."
Before they noticed, Rio had disappeared and their companions conveniently arrived at the same time.
"Ise what happened?"
"Ichika what were you doing?"
"Sekiryuutei what were you doing?"
"Ichika what was that?"
Both Issei and Ichika put on awkward faces. They explained what had happened to their friends.
Issei and Ichika's third chapter is finished. Next chapter will be the two series together and I'll put humor on focus (it'll serve as practice for their solo fanfics, though they'll also have sexual parts when they come out), then the four will be together.
If you're wondering why I decided to put Ichika and Issei together, well I've got no good reason (but, it seems like it played out well).
I'll just say this here now, I'm not going to use Issei's DxD form cause I'm already compensating a lot to make the four MC be on the same level, if I add DxD to that, the it'll just be too far of a stretch.
