Earlier..
The half-scarred boy couldn't honestly believe that he wasn't going to regrow his limbs.
The doctor, who told him about it, looked very much like he was regretful of what transpired to the boy.
The doctor took his time to sit beside the boy, who looked very sorrowful. He puts his hand in his shoulder, seeing that he lacks any limbs for him to put his palms into.
"I apologize for our sudden interruption in your life. Our plans didn't include you losing your limbs like this. That only complicates things."
"Why did you choose me out of everyone you could've took?" Genos asked, "I don't see a sense in any of this."
"You are an anomaly." He replied, "You are one of the very few people that are close to making me re-establish an old theory of mine."
"A...theory?" Genos raised his brow in confusion.
"The limiter theory." Doctor Garaki replied, "Of course, barely anyone knows about it. They even treated my most recent well-known theory like a jesting material. This society sometimes sickens me."
He bitterly laughed, before continuing, "Anyway, as what I was saying...you, very much like your friend, are one of the few people who managed to break through their limiter, well at least managed to barely reach the surface in your case."
"What is this..limiter?" Genos asked.
"I'll explain it to you, short and simple: Every human beings, from the beginning of their era, has a limiter set by a higher being in order to restraint them from achieving their fullest potential. If they did, destruction and chaos will ensue. Not many of us surpassed our limiter, but long after the era of quirks started, many powerful heroes emerged out of the shadows. They are without a sufficient quirk, but they make it up with..other strange abilities." Doctor Garaki explained.
He then continued, "However, the kid that my master has been keeping his tabs on, Yagi Toshinori...he was the only one who managed to break his limiter."
Genos widened his eyes in understanding. So that's why his training regime made him so strong.
But wait..
That man has been watching his best friend for a while? Is he planning to bring him over too for his little test?
"And you, you only managed to reach maybe five percent of what Yagi experienced. That's why we took interest in you. Your body might be the only thing that can withstand the devastating effect of the monster cell." Doctor Garaki explained.
That's why?
Genos started to squint his eyes in suspicion. Are these guys the one who has been turning kids into half-lizard monsters for the past month?
He shook his head..He didn't want to believe that he was captured by a bunch of supervillains.
The doctor spoke again, "Do you have any troubles regarding my...explanations?"
"I honestly don't think I should accept...whatever this is." Genos resisted, "I don't know. Maybe I wanted power. But I never wanted to achieve it like this."
The doctor frowned for a while, until he spoke again with a question, "What do you truly want the most in your life, Genos?"
Genos looked at the doctor with a thoughtful look, before replying, "I want to be able to stand for myself, but unfortunately...being a quirkless runt in a world of quirked, powerful people, what I want isn't very much achievable." He inhaled, before continuing, "I also want to repay my debts to...the ones who has been helping me. I want to protect them like they protected me."
"It seems like you want to tell me a third part of what you truly wanted the most." He smiled softly, "What is it?"
"...to bring justice to the cyborg villain that killed my parents." Genos spoke darkly.
"By justice," Doctor Garaki replied, "do you mean death?"
"...yes." Genos spoke in a low tone.
"Dear God, you sound like my master for a moment there." Doctor Garaki laughed.
"..What?" Genos asked, as if he heard something that was very wrong.
Garaki quickly composed himself, before explaining, "I don't mean the murderous part, I mean your tone, how you said yes."
"Oh.."
"Anyway..so, you want those three to happen, yes?" Garaki asked, and the boy nodded. He then spoke again, "If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate to accept this offer. What we're talking about here is power beyond your wildest dreams. With the condition of your body, you could very much surpass Yagi."
Genos shook his head in disbelief at the thought of surpassing his best friend. He was one of the, if not the only, strongest person he had ever met. Reaching that seems impossible.
"The monster cell amplifies the characteristics of the one who consumes it, that includes their physical strength, endurance, and quirk factor, not to mention that it comes with additional quirks." Doctor Garaki explained.
Sounds...Intriguing.
Part of Genos wanted it. Longed for it. He wanted to feel strong just for once instead of what he usually felt.
But taking a shortcut like this..it seemed like he was disappointing everyone that he had ever know, because he was taking something that was offered by these...unknown people. They have ulterior motives. Even All For One said it himself. None of their intentions were pure.
If he could he escape, he would, but knowing his current situation..
He was at the mercy of these two people.
And they were offering him something that he have always wanted.
Power.
Absolute power.
The thing that he put himself through to get it...the months of training that he made himself suffer through..
It could be achieved with a single bite. A single swallow, and everything would turn on his tide.
But he couldn't do it. He couldn't accept. No matter how much he wanted it, the reluctance is still there.
"You need not to worry about taking a shortcut." Doctor Garaki said, as if he was reading his mind, "After all, you deserve it, after everything you went through."
He looked down somberly. He couldn't think of anything to respond with. Doctor Garaki sighed, before standing up, "Perhaps my master will be able to convince you, since he is..extremely better with his methods."
Genos almost winced. Is he going to torture him?
Fortunate enough, the answer came, "And no, I don't mean that he will torture you." He laughed, "If that's what you thought anyway."
He mentally sighed in relief.
"He will be entering momentarily. Do try to prepare yourself." The doctor folded his arms, before exiting the room, "Good luck."
Genos looked to the closed door, grimacing at what's going to happen next...
The Present...
-- ONE PUNCH MAN OST - CRISIS - PLAYS --
"You boys better stay back from this." Nana said to her both Masashi and Mezo, who happened to be with her at the time.
"This is your fault, shitty hag!" Mezo yelled, his aggressive snake-like tongue erupted from his mouth, "You shouldda left us back home!"
Nana sighed in exasperation, "We talked about this. This is NOT the time."
"Yeah, bro, besides, it was me who asked her to let us come with." Masashi added.
Mezo growled, "You idiot! Now look what you've done! We're going to fucking die because of your stupid desire to see these pathetic heroes!"
"If you two keep arguing, you will actually lose your life." Nana interjected with a sign of annoyance.
"FINE! Where should we go?!"
"What do you think?! Far away from the central town, obviously!" Nana yelled, "Quick, go! I don't need another death on my conscience."
They paused for a moment at what she meant by that, before brushing it off. Mezo growled, "Whatever, shitty hag. Just be careful." Then, they walked away, running off from the source of all the violence.
Nana laughed bitterly. Did he just tell her to be careful?
-- ONE PUNCH MAN OST - BATTLE - PLAYS --
Her train of thoughts was interrupted when her danger sense quirk, courtesy of One for All, alarmed her of a nearby threat.
She looked back, only to see a villain lunging at her at full speed with a wooden bat on his hand. It was aimed at her head, mainly to knock her out.
She dodged it swiftly, before doing a spinning kick, sending him crashing into the ground.
She didn't know what caused the quirk to suddenly manifest. She knew there are multiple quirks in One for All, but she never got the chance to explore it.
"These villains are persistent. It's like they were following orders. Orders from someone they're loyal to." Nana theorised, as she went to her fellow heroes, Lightning Max and Stinger, who were both engaging the villains too.
"How's things?!" Nana yelled amidst the chaos.
"Not much of an improvement! These villains are really persistent!" Lightning Max yelled as he used his lightning quirk to electrocute one of the villains who was lunging at them.
"And they're targeting the civilians too!" Stinger added, hitting one of the villains with the edge of his spear, knocking them out unconscious.
"You both should focus on the civilians. Me and Tanktop Master will handle the rest." Nana suggested.
"Okay, on it." Stinger nodded, before telling his partner to come with him.
As they left, Nana noticed that Tanktop Master was fighting against the hordes of villains, using every brute strength he could muster to defeat the opposition.
Dammit, this could've been easy if the other heroes weren't so busy and stuck-up.
Especially Doctor Bofoi and Atomic Samurai.
What was wrong with them, honestly?
"You holding up good right there!?" Nana yelled. Tanktop Master tilted his head, and replied with only a nod.
"Good, good." She muttered, as she prepared a defensive stance.
Five of the villains emerged in front of her, lunging at her with various weapons.
The first to strike was a knife-wielding man, who thrusted his weapon into her chest. Nana swiftly dodged the attack, before using his knife to block an incoming sword attack from one of them.
As she parried the sword with the villain's knife, she quickly disarmed their weapons, before slamming each of them into each other by their heads.
She was holding back, by a lot. She could've used One for All to just obliterate these fodder villains, but she knew it'd kill them.
But part of her..a dormant part of her wanted to go all out. Like a beast under bound, Nana kept the desire all the way down to her caged heart.
She brushed off the thoughts. No way she would turn into a killer.
There was three of them left, and they were all brutes, their muscles bigger than her own, almost as big as Tanktop Master's.
Fighting them will be tricky, as it seems.
But before she could make her move, suddenly, a black blur struck into one of them, and seconds later, the villain fell into the ground, motionless.
The blur went faster, striking each of the villains with precision, before each of them fell into the ground one by one.
The blur went into the air, before spinning rapidly. It revealed an almost shadowed person.
The figure dropped into the ground elegantly, revealing himself to be the Speed-O-Sound Sonic.
Nana took a second to recognize him, before rolling her eyes, "Took you long enough, Redundant?"
Sonic didn't respond. Well, verbally. He only responded with a wide grin.
"Uh..you okay, dude?" Nana asked, genuinely concerned with how the man gave her an 'innocent' smile.
Sonic ignored her, however. Well, part of that is due to the earpiece resting on each of his ears.
"TIME TO DIE!!!!" Sonic roared, his primal instinct going all out. He gripped his blade, before vanishing into a blur, going past Nana.
She sighed, "Glad I'm not his friend.."
Tanktop Master was struggling against a bulky, unknown creature. A mysterious being, if he could guess.
Not even a few seconds of occupying the number 7 spot, (AN: Replacing Lightning Max, causing both Lightning Max and Stinger to go down to rank 8 and 9..) and he's already facing a big threat like this.
A mysterious being, even.
The bulky creature had a brain exposed on his head, having a bird-like peck as it's mouth.
He had a trick of his own, however. "TANKTOP TACKLE!!" He screamed, crossing his arms as he charged at the mysterious being.
As he collided with the creature, a shockwave from the impact shattered the glass around him.
The creature didn't feel any pain, but was highly distracted.
"TANKTOP BLOW!" He spun around, before using the momentum to strike the creature in the chest, causing it to unbalance on itself.
Using the distraction, Tanktop went behind it swiftly, before wrapping his arms around it's lower parts, lifting it in the air,
"TANKTOP SUPLEX!" The brute backdrop suplexxed the creature into the ground.
The creature was still lying on the floor. As it was about to wake up, Tanktop used his last move to end it for good, "TANKTOP RAPID STOMP!!!" He then rapidly stomped on the creature.
The creature didn't try to retaliate, and the pro-hero assumed that it was overwhelmed by his strength.
How wrong was he to assume that.
As he finished his final move, he clapped on his hands, indicating that he was done with this.
As he walked away, suddenly, a hand reached to his shoulder.
He looked back, alarmed, but it was too late. A giant fist connected to his face, sending him flying rapidly towards multiple buildings.
The creature roared, as it charged the power behind his legs by bending it against the ground, before jumping away, sending itself propelling in great speeds towards Tanktop Master.
The pro-hero, who barely recovered, found himself being struck in his chest by the creature.
He coughed in blood, feeling the crack of his ribs.
He was sent propelling away again, rolling on the ground, before coming to a halt.
He was beyond exhausted.
The creature was strong. Very strong.
He screamed, forcing himself to stand on his feet. He has to defeat this creature. For the people of this city. For his followers. For everyone.
He gritted his teeth, before slowly walking towards the creature, who was already on a defensive state.
He roared, forcing himself to run towards the creature, "YAAAAAAARRGHHHH!!!"
He cocked his fist back, before pushing it forward. His fist came to a halt with the creature's own, sending great shockwaves across the city.
They began rapidly throwing their fists at each other, each impact caused shockwaves after shockwaves.
Luckily, civilians in this area was already evacuated.
The bones on his arms starts to slowly crack at the overwhelming force behind the creature's attacks. It was clear that this mysterious being was stronger than him.
But he wouldn't let such an abysmal fact to get him down. If he backs down from a fight, he won't be able to call himself a real man, let alone a real hero!
Before he could react, however, a fist slammed him into the ground, causing his skull to crack, affecting his brain.
His line of vision were already blurry. He felt like he was going to die.
Then, a blur came from afar. A slice was seen across the creature's chest, before a large quantity of blood splattered everywhere.
The mysterious being shrieked, before trying to make sense of what happened. It looked around, to search for it's new assaulter.
The answer came through a voice yelling in the air,
"WIND BLADE KICK!!!"
A slamming foot struck the creature across it's face, sending it flying and rolling through the ground.
As it recovered, Sonic was in front of it immediately, "Think you can outrun me, CREATURE?!"
The mysterious being lunged back, only to be outwitted by the ninja's blade.
"FEAR INDUCING MOVE: A THOUSAND DEATH SERIES!" Sonic began rapidly slicing the creature with his blades. As each of the sharp weapon made contact with its flesh, large quantities of blood began spreading everywhere.
Stained with blood, Sonic finished with a stab to the heart, causing the creature to weakly sigh, as it slumped into the ground, dead.
Sonic tilted his head back, only to see the injured pro-hero laying a few feets from him.
He walked over to him, before seeing that the pro-hero was unconscious.
Sonic huffed. He couldn't care less about what happens to him. He bended his knees, before vanishing in an instant.
Nana attacked with a left jab to the criminal's face, causing him to stagger back. She jumped, before kneeing him in the jaw, causing him to fall over into the ground.
She slowly walked over the large number of the unconscious bodies besides her, before grabbing the bald criminal by his collar, "With all the fighting concluded, now's the good time to talk."
"I won't tell you shit, bitch!"
Nana gave him a fake saddened look, "Aw, there goes my plan for you."
"What plan?" The villain laughed bitterly, "What, you gonna torture me or some shit? Cause let me tell you, that won't work on me, at all."
Nana chuckled, "No, no, I don't roll that way, darling."
The man stared at her eyes for a moment. What did she just call him?
A visible shade of red was seen on his cheeks. "What?"
"Oh, by the way," Nana cheekily replied, "That plan of mine was going to involve with a date between us both."
"A- a date?" The villain asked.
"Yep. Even got a few places on my mind, for us, I mean." Nana shook her head in disbelief, "I was starting to like you, but you went ahead and threw it all away."
The man looked like he was contemplating his choice. "U- um.."
"Something you wanna say?" Nana asked, "Perhaps a change of mind?" She teased.
The villain stared at her for a while, before scowling, "Fine, fine."
"Did I touch your heart?" Nana smiled cheekily.
"No, s'not that, idiot.." He muttered, "Were you serious about that date?"
"I'm always serious." Nana responded.
He exhaled, before trying to open his mouth. But before he can do that, however, Nana's danger sense flared up to the maximum.
That mysterious quirk again.
She looked back, and in a fraction of second, she saw a glimpse of a shadowed person.
She didn't have time to see who it was, before quickly moving out of the way of her new assaulter.
The assaulter, in result, pierced a blade through the head of the villain, killing him instantly.
Nana gasped, filled with guilt that she let a life fly away just like that. Even if it was a villain's.
"Who are you?!" Nana asked loudly.
The man tilted his head, gazing on her. The details of the man's body came into light. A tall man with a muscular build, a spiked hair reaching from his head to his back. A red mark spread from up to the downside of his right eye.
His attire consists of a sleeveless black shirt and pants, a white vest with a spiked collar and flame design, black arm warmers, and braces on his forearm and neck.
His stoic expression remained still, as he spoke, "I know you, and you know of the number one hero. Where is he?"
Nana looked at him for a moment, before shaking her head, "You haven't answered my question yet, porcupine."
"Calling me names won't get either of us anywhere at all. Now, give me what I want, and I might just spare you."
Nana insisted that she wouldn't answer, "Answer me first."
"My name is not of your business."
"Then my answer is the same as yours."
He bitterly chuckled, before saying, "Fine. Have it your way."
Nana's danger sense alarmed her of an incoming threat again. She bended herself to dodge an incoming slice from a blade. It was aimed to decapitate her. A bad sign, indeed.
She got a glimpse of her attacker, before putting her palm in the ground, suspending herself in the air while kicking him in the face, hurting him, even if it was a bit.
She did a backflip, trying to keep her distance away from both of the strangers.
As she landed on the ground, she saw how the man looked like.
The man is tall and muscular, his hair adorned with the colour green. His eyes also had blue markings on each pair, much like Sonic.
His attire consists of a tight-fitting shirt, white hakama pants with black trimming, white sash and black arm warmers. He also has metal bands around his biceps.
"Impressive!" The green-haired one's eyes beamed up with impression, "You saw through my ninjutsu effortlessly!"
"Ninjutsu?" Nana repeated his words, "So you both are friends of Sonic and Flashy Flash?"
"Friends? Don't make me laugh." The spike haired man spat back, "We've waited long enough for this moment. Our bodies have went through the worst hell possible just so we can have the final showdown with that utterly disgusting traitor."
Traitor?
"I heard how he mercilessly killed the 44th graduating ninja's of the Ninja Village, and how he wiped the rest. This will not stand. We knew that we don't stand a chance against him, and so, for years, we seek ultimate power! And he, who is not to be named, has given us the means to achieve that." He reached for his pocket, before grinning widely, "The MONSTER CELL!"
Nana stared at the ball for a while. Ultimate power achieved through consuming things?
It suspiciously sounded like how those kids in the news turned into a half-lizard monstrosity, before dying in a day or two.
Oh, damn it, of course they're the culprit behind all of these nonsense. She's sure of it.
Nana, however, kept her composure, "You know that I won't let you two do that, right?"
"Oh, we are very well aware. After all, heroes like you are nothing but nuisances, and hindrances."
Nana laughed, "Thanks for the confidence boost, guys. Really means a lot." She sarcastically remarked, "Now, it's better if you guys not do anything stupid. Like, at all."
"You are an obnoxious barrier, but regardless, we have an offer for you." He stretched his palm, revealing the monster cell in it's fullest glory, "Help me find Flashy Flash, and you will be able to consume this source of ultimate power."
"And then turn myself into a half-assed distant relative of your average reptilian? Nope, I'd rather keep my original body, thank you very much." Nana shook her head in refusal.
"I figured that you'd say that." The spike haired man said, "A shame. You could've been a great asset to our organisation."
"Well your organisation consists of weirdo's who's obsessed with turning people into lizards." Nana replied.
"Okay, to hell with this shit!" The green haired one screamed, "I'll crush you into smithereens!"
Nana braced herself for the impact, but instead, the man vanished from thin air, before appearing behind her.
She quickly turned her head around, noticing that the fist of the man were going straight to her head.
She ducked, before punching the green haired one in the ribs, staggering him for a bit.
She threw another jab, but the man dodged it swiftly, "Not making that kind of mistake again!"
She huffed, before using her elbow to strike the man, but alas, he dodged it effortlessly.
He threw a left jab to the head, distracting her, before spinning around to kick her in her left jaw, causing it to crack slightly.
She was sent flying into the ground, sliding across the dirt like a skate through an ice floor.
She struggled to stand, before she was kicked again in the ribs, causing her to uncontrollably spin midair. She used this to her advantage, before barely landing on her feet, using her right hand to support her from falling.
She felt the spark of One for All through her arms, before using her super speed quirk to appear in front of the ninja, quickly pushing her fist onward.
However, the man quickly dodged to the left, before kneeing her arms, causing it to crack. She screamed in agony, before she was kicked in the back by the man, causing her to stumble on herself.
She used both of her arms to prevent herself from falling.
This guy..holy fuck... Nana thought in amazement and terror.
She forced herself to stand up, ignoring the immense pain in her arms. She lunged at the ninja, raising her fist once again to hit him, but he dodged it once again, proving her effort to be futile.
"Your techniques are sloppy. Untrained." He taunted, dodging another one of her attacks, "I see through your every moves. Your breathing. Your movements. Your stance. The center of gravity. Your heartbeat. The combinations of these made me able to predict your pattern of attacks. Even before you make a move, I set my body to avoid them! Predictable!" He laughed.
She had one, last resort. The nerve attack. Her final move.
She closed her eyes, concentrating her eyes, still in her fighting stance.
She opened it immediately, before circling around the ninja with a godly speed.
The green-haired one was still, unimpressed with the latter having a poor attempt of a complex technique.
"Freezing move..." Nana muttered under her breath, while still circling around the ninja, preparing both of her fingers to incapacitate her opponent.
She stopped immediately, before lunging at him to attack him, "NER-"
The ninja used the back of his hand to interrupt the pro-hero's attack, before pushing it away with his palm, "HAVE A TASTE OF YOUR OWN ATTACK!"
Her attack was parried, as her fingers was heading towards her.
Before she could react, she was already immobilised by her own move, collapsing to the floor, unable to lift even a finger.
S...shit... Nana thought in her head.
The ninja crouched to her level, trying to rub his victory all over her, "Is this the best the HPSC can offer? An amateur like you, facing against the likes of me?"
She didn't respond. Not by choice, anyway.
"I haven't even used my blade yet, and you still lost." He smirked, "You thought I was going all out? I was toying with you, little fly."
"That's enough." A voice behind him said.
That voice. That damned voice.
"Gale Wind. Hellfire Flame. The ninja's of the 37th graduating class." The mysterious man said again.
Graduating..class..? The immobilised Nana thought in her head, still processing the new information.
Gale Wind, the man in question, turned his head around, only to see a man with an ice-blonde hair, adorned with two four pointed star in his head, holding the sheath that was in his waist.
Hellfire Flame was the one with the most reaction, "I never thought I'd see you face to face, Flashy Flash. Thanks for coming so soon. Saves me the trouble of looking for you."
Oh great..the guy showed up at the last second. Am I living in a fictional story with a common trope like this? If Nana could move her muscle, she would've rolled her eyes.
Flashy Flash remained with his stoic expression.
"Have you nothing to say, criminal?" Hellfire Flame scowled, "After everything you've done?"
"Let's just kill this man already." Gale Wind protested.
"Hold your horse, Gale Wind. I want to hear what he has to say about his crimes."
"It doesn't matter, does it? We're going to kill him anyway."
"It matters. I want to hear from his own rotten mouth." Hellfire Flame spoke with venom.
He didn't spoke for a while. He just stood there, staring at them.
"Did you not hear what I said?" Hellfire Flame said, his patience wearing thin.
He sighed, before revealing his answer,
"I eliminated them for my own selfish purpose." He admitted, "Revenge. I wanted to bring an end to their lives for putting me through hell for several fucking years."
Ninja Village...? To be honest..the guy has an obscure backstory. Nobody even knows where he came from.. Nana thought while laying on the floor. Being paralyzed is starting to be a pain in her ass.
"Imagine being stripped away from your family, only to be brought to a place where humanity and compassion doesn't exist, where every lives equals one, expendable tool. I wanted to kill them, along with their spawns, their creations." Flashy Flash broke out of his stoic expression, and turned into rage. But his expression softened when he said his next words, "But I abandoned my way. I seek to redeem myself by choosing this career as a way to live. A hero. I found more meaning in this life."
Nana was surprised. The guy has killed? Shouldn't he...be facing the laws right now?
But again, she didn't know the full story. And also, he came from a village where exploitations of kids are legal? She needed to check into this when she gets out of here alive.
Hellfire Flame stared at him, before he broke out into a laughing fit. "You are such a fool! Even after murdering the one's who did no wrong, you have the GAL to call yourself a hero?!"
"I'm no hero." Flashy Flash corrected, "I never said I was."
"Yet you're still playing hero."
He didn't respond.
Hellfire bitterly chuckled, "You know, I was raised in that village too. I grew to adore it. I adore the lifestyle that occurs in it, because it goes against every expectations of how a normal life should be. Weaklings spend their lives looking at their pathetic devices, hanging out with their lowly friends, bonding with everyone they see, boasting about these little puny things they call 'quirks'. These are not present in the village, and I found delight in it. Yet you took that away from me, destroyed everything that I looked up to."
Flashy Flash scoffed, "Not everyone likes to be subjected into a life full of suffering like you do."
"And that's what makes them weak. Suffering shapes us into a stronger person." Hellfire Flame said, before sheathing his blade, "But since you robbed the world of their only way to be strong, then you'll find your life to be robbed of."
He suddenly appeared in front of Flashy Flash, before striking him with his blade swiftly.
The pro-hero quickly sheathed his insta-kill blade, blocking it with ease, unimpressed by his speed, "Their only way to be strong?" He asked.
"Look around you, fool!" Hellfire Flame yelled, "Are you made aware of the quirkless kind who were constantly bullied and discriminated against every single day? The Ninja Village was the only thing that could turn them into a much stronger person, and guess what? You robbed them of their only chance."
Flashy Flash laughed, repeating again, "Are you sure it's the only way?" He pushed his blade away, before kicking the other ninja away to gain some distance, "You don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh, I definitely do." He smirked.
"Not gonna let you have all the fun!" Gale Wind interfered, spinning around, creating a huge quantities of wind.
As the wind circled around him, tornado began to form, causing the very ground to shake.
Flashy Flash noticed as the tornado began to grow in size, surrounding both him and Hellfire Flame.
"Ohoho, he's smart." Hellfire smirked, before drawing his blade once again.
"Hm." Flashy Flash muttered boredly.
He knew what they were doing. They were trying to make him fight in a narrowed area. And if he had to guess..
Hellfire Flame is good at fighting in a narrowed place.
Hellfire smirked, as he lunged at the pro-hero, aiming his blade at his forehead, before feinting and spinning horizontally, appearing behind him, trying to slice his lower body parts.
Flashy Flash swiftly jumped over the pattern of the attack, before kicking the latter in the face, causing him to back away slightly.
Flashy Flash drew his blade, before attempting to slice Hellfire downwards.
But he blocked it with ease, parrying it as he kicked the pro-hero away.
Both of them approached each other, clashing their swords against each other once again, before turning themselves into a blur, going back and forth, clashing themselves and their weapons against each other.
Their speed rendered them almost invisible to the naked eye, the only thing visible being the clash of their blades.
However, when Hellfire tried to thrust his blade towards the pro-hero for one last time, Flashy Flash moved his head to the side, sliding his blade against the other, creating a loud noise of ringing.
As he reached the edge, he pulled his blade away, before slicing the other ninja's shoulder, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
Hellfire growled, before he attempted to attack the pro-hero again.
Flashy Flash tried to keep his distance from the opposition, trying to think of a strategy.
It was difficult to navigate in a narrowed place like this, but he'll manage just fine.
Flashy Flash dodged every attacks that were thrown his way by the opposite side. He blocked every each of Hellfire's blades, using his reaction speed to overwhelm his opponent.
"You could've turned out to be the best of us," Hellfire scoffed, "If you weren't such a vile murderer!"
Flashy Flash kept his neutral expression, still blocking each of the lightspeed blade attacks coming his way.
As he parried the last attack, he lunged forward, raising his blade to incapacitate the villain ninja.
The other ninja raised his blade swiftly, blocking the other blade from ever touching an inch of his flesh.
Both of them struggled, as the ground bellow them began to create a miniscule crater, and it grew bigger and bigger over time.
"Stop resisting. You are clearly outmatched here." Flashy Flash ordered, but Hellfire insisted, "No! I won't rest until you pay for your crimes!"
They stayed like this for a solid minute, struggling against each other to no end. But Flashy Flash was the only one who shown less struggle. It was clear that he was stronger.
But suddenly, the tornado stopped. Both of the fighters were confused, before looking at the source of the halt.
The smoke cleared, to see a completely enraged yet baffled woman.
Shimura Nana was holding Gale Wind by his collar, pinning him against the ground, her fist raised in the air, "I'm not done yet. And all the things I've heard about you three back there? You oughta explain yourselves after all of these are done."
Gale Wind only smirked. A two versus two match. Something that could get his blood pumping! He will enjoy this, very very much.
