Takashi had enjoyed his fight with his father, even if he had lost. He was supposed to lose anyway, as the current king could not seem weaker than the future king. That would be shameful. He did like how he got quite close to winning though. He almost got a 'kill' with his sword before his father caught it. While he might have been defeated like that, it was a good way to go out.
Instead of returning to the royal box to watch the remaining matches with his father and mother, he opted to stay on the side lines and watch Hikari battle the angel. He wanted to see his new wife win the fight. There were no limitations on her to lose the match on purpose somehow like there had been with him. An angelic battle with an unclear outcome would be exciting to watch. Almost as exciting as last night had been for her. When Uncle Yasha had mentioned, 'women liked to be licked,' to him, he was not quite sure what that meant. Last night made him understand it a lot better.
He shook his head, looking over at the arena where the angel and Hikari entered together. He noticed how old the angel was looking, much to his surprise. She had been young looking all those years ago when she rescued him from the dire wolf pack, but now she looked almost middle age like a human would. Up close, the few specks grey in her hair was noticeable upon scrutiny, but from this far away, he could not tell. Hikari next to her looked timeless and fearless. Takashi wondered who could win considering Hikari's father was in charge of training her and her twin brother.
Both women stood on either side of the arena, facing one another. Mother's clap ringed out over area, allowing the two to commence in their fight. The angel summoned up her wind dragon around her neck, wind whipping out around her. Hikari mirrored her, fire dragon burning around her neck. She tapped her neck as a few stray hair at the end of her jaw line began to burn up. He wished she could grow it out longer, but with an angelic weapon like that, he realized it was too difficult. No wonder she had given it up.
The angel summoned her wind dragon up into an ax, holding it out steady. Hikari took her fire dragon, concentrating to make it into twin sabers, matching her balanced fighting style. Hikari claimed she was just right handed, but with a blade in each hand, Takashi had wondered if she was ambidextrous than she realized. Even with just fists, she never really favored one hand over the other. She was breathing a little heavier though, with splitting her fire dragon across her body. Takashi recalled her father had trained her to do that in solo sessions as often as possible to build up her stamina for it. She held both blades up, taking a fighting stance.
Both Hikari and the angel charged towards the middle of the arena and towards each other. The met closer to the side that Hikari came from, three conjured blades clashing against each other with a loud, electric clang. Both of Hikari's sabers were blocked by the larger ax held sideways by the angel. Energetic sparks danced between the three conjured weapons. The angel pushed down against Hikari, using her height to her advantage. Hikari backed up, sabers sliding downwards against the ax. The angel swung her ax towards her with angelic grace. Hikari blocked with one blade and tried to swing with the other. The angel was too quick for her. She had to block more often than parry.
Hikari growled loudly, frustrated. When she got frustrated when fighting, she got bolder, which made Takashi nervous considering those were potentially deadly weapons they were fighting with. Hikari blocked once more, but instead of charging forward to parry, she dropped. She crouched low on the balls of her feet, summoned away the blade in her left hand, and tackled the angel by the shins. The angel went down, tripped up by the sudden move, but did not stay down for long. She gave Hikari a swift kick in the shoulder, shoving her off her lower legs.
The angel scrambled up and launched herself in the air, dragon wings on her back, before Hikari could get at her again. Once the angel was high enough in the air, she leaned her hands over her knees, panting. Hikari ran underneath where her mother hovered, looking up at her predatorily. She paced around the vicinity. The angel would have to come down sometime. She held up a saber in just her right hand now, either too tired to have two anymore or wanting to save energy by just only having one. The fight was not over yet. One way or another the angel would have to come back down to the ground.
Hikari fumed, getting impatient. She summoned up her fire dragon into its main form now, which was just over half her size. The angel's and her brothers had been the size of large beasts, bigger than horses. Takashi recalled her father also tried to push for her to make her dragon bigger and bigger, and half her size was the best result. Hikari tried to mount it anyway, but it did not work. She shouted in frustration, telling the angel come back down and fight. The angel straightened up and did just that.
The angel dropped to the ground at a distance from Hikari, dragon full sized in front of her now. Hikari's dragon looked like a miniature in comparison. She had slim to no chance against her mother like that. She tried anyway, much to her determination. She summoned up her own dragon, running recklessly towards the angel, dragon first. Her dragon met her mother's head first, colliding with it. Both of them held their hands out, pushing their dragons to gain ground against the other fighter. The wind dragon held the fire dragon back, scratching and attacking it. The fire dragon scrambled to fight, but to no avail. The angel took trudging steps forward, forcing Hikari to walk back, even as she dug her heels into the ground. Both as them shouted, spurring their dragons on. Hikari was still being shoved back, with the angel still shoving forward. She stumbled, trying to keep herself standing up straight. The angel's wind dragon roared, doubling its effort to shove the fire dragon away. It was the last charge that did Hikari in.
Hikari had reached the edge of the arena, but clearly had not realized that in her effort. The angel and her wind dragon shoved her off the edge, sending her tumbling to the ground behind her. Hikari huffed on the ground, shouting and pounding against the ground in frustration. The angel dropped to her knees when she stood, hands coming to the ground like an after thought. She panted heavily, face sheen with sweat. She summoned her wind dragon away with a wave of her hand.
In a surprising move, Hikari was up on her feet and scrambled back into the arena. At first Takashi thought she was going to attack the angel, but rather she bent down and hugged her mother. Her quick movements threw the angel off balance, sending both of them onto their sides in the arena. The angel laughed first, joyously. Hikari was quick to follow suit.
