It looked bad since it seemed like the northern forces were able to make it and began their attack at the academy. Tatenashi, Rin, and Kanzashi were captured. Davis was also in a serious problem when he unleashed his Shadow Unit called Scorpio. Davis and the others would have been in real trouble if Ken hadn't stepped in and save those who were captured. once she was free, Tatenashi was willing to get back in the fight.
"Again, thanks for the save, but I can handle things now that I know what I'm dealing with." Tatenashi said as she freed herself from Stingmon and landed on the ground. "Davis, leave this guy to me. I know how he works now."
"Do you?" Iramin questioned as he thought he caught a bluff.
"I do." Tatenashi said. "The part of your unit that acts like a stinger is more like an drive. When it comes in contact with an I.S. unit, it uploads some malware that causes it to stop functioning. In a way, that is sort of like poison."
"But it won't do you any good. We took your I.S. units when you were captured, and I have them right here." Iramin said as he showed that he had a hold of their I.S. units in lock mode. "How do you plan to fight me? Especially, since you're out numbered." He snapped his fingers and had a few soldiers surround Tatenashi and were ready to shoot her.
"Tatenashi!" Davis called.
"Hold on!" Ken said as he was ready to have Stingmon fly in there and save her.
"Thanks, but I don't need any help. There's a reason I'm the class president." Tatenashi said. She made her move as she went right at the one that was in front of her. She smashed her knee right in the guy's face and grabbed a hold of the his gun. After firing a few shots at the soldiers that surrounded her, she threw it right at Iramin. It smashed right into his hand and forced him to drop the units. Tatenashi moved fast and grabbed a hold of them.
"Did you see that?!" Stingmon said.
"I did... She has some moves..." Ken said as he was stunned at what Tatenashi just did.
"I will admit that you did catch me by surprise, but that's not a problem." Tatenashi said as she opened up her I.S. and was making some improvements. "I even know how to counter your piece of malware and clear it out of my I.S."
'She's able to do all of that? Perhaps I underestimated this one.' Iramin thought as he is starting to see Tatenashi would be more of a challenge than he originally thought.
"Wow... Tatenashi has some serious skills. No wonder she was chosen to be the class president." Davis said.
"Davis! We need help!" Houki said as she got in contact with him. "Those soldiers are making it to shore. Your pals are trying to hold them off, but they are a persistent bunch down there." She showed Angemon and Ankylomon were trying to hold back the soldiers without hurting the humans, but they are dedicated soldiers that are still going.
"Tatenashi, are you sure you got this?" Davis said.
"Oh yeah. I know what to expect out of this guy now." Tatenashi said as she finished fixing her I.S. "Catch!" She tossed Rin's and Kanzashi's I.S. to Ken with him catching them.
"Let's go, Ken. I'm going to need you over there." Davis said as he flew off with Stingmon followed after him. That left Tatenashi to face Iramin. He ordered his men to let him handle this and they just kept going to the academy.
"You really think you can defeat the likes of me when you ended up captured?" Iramin said.
"I do now that I know what to expect." Tatenashi said and unleashed the power of her I.S. with it looking like it was never damaged at all. "Mysterious Lady and I are just full of surprises."
"We'll see about that." Iramin said as he stretched out his stinger and sent it straight at her, but Tatenashi flew up and avoided the attack. She held up her javelin and started shooting it like a machine gun, but Iramin used his stinger and blocked out all of the attacks. "You can't defeat the likes of me so easily!" He called as he flew straight at her and tried to strike her down. It looked like his attack hit, but she just turned into water. "Water?"
"That's right. Mysterious Lady is a lot of fun with water." He turned around and saw Tatenashi near the water. "Better believe it, bastard. This lady knows how to have some fun with water." Iramin went at her again as he tried using his stinger and claws to get a good hit in, but Tatenashi was one step ahead of him. She even used the water to divert his attacks.
"You can't avoid me forever!" Iramin said.
"Wanna bet?" Tatenashi said as she placed her lance in the water. When she swung it around and unleashed a powerful wave at him. The wave smashed into Iramin and pushed him back. Then, Tatenashi flew straight at him and tried striking her lance at him. However, Iramin held up his arm and was able to block it. It was like her lance didn't even leave a dent with it.
"This alone isn't enough to stop me." Iramin said as he used his stinger and smashed it right into the lance. After he moved the lance out of the way, he smashed the claws against Tatenashi and knocked her back with her taking a heavy hit.
"That Shadow Unit is made out of some seriously tough stuff." Tatenashi said as she was getting familiar with what she was against. "It has a limited range, but it looks like it makes up for it by having a powerful defense."
"I heard that, and you are right. Scorpio holds a powerful defense." Iramin admitted. "Now Scorpio's poison has just made your weapon useless." He was right about that. She tried using it again, but it wasn't working. "Without your weapon, you have nothing to fight me with." He thought he had the advantage now, but she just laughed it off.
"You think I'm like Davis? Do you really think I rely on just one weapon?" Tatenashi said as she had a sneaky look written on her face. Iramin stretched out his stinger again, but Tatenashi dived into the water and avoided him.
"Where did she go?" Iramin questioned as he didn't see her anywhere under the water. Suddenly, the water erupted under him and blasted him in the air. Then, a series of water attacks shot at him. He tried to avoid them, but they were following him and he couldn't escape. "She's still able to use sea water to attack me? Just how powerful is she? Scorpio's defenses might be able to handle this, but it does have limits." He clearly underestimated what Tatenashi can do.
"Here I come!" Tatenashi shouted as she shot straight out of the water and tried attacking him with the lance. "You might have deactivated the special features of my lance, but it still makes a handy actual lance." Iramin crossed his arms and tried to strike him, but he blocked that attack as well.
"You are a fool to get so close!" Iramin claimed as he tried using the stinger again, but Tatenashi was ready for it. She held out her lance and blocked the stinger pretty well as she managed to move away from him.
"As fun as this is, it's going to have to come to an end at some point." Tatenashi said.
"How do you plan on doing that?" Iramin said.
"Easy." Tatenashi said as she held out her lance. "You might have stopped the features of all my weapon, but I can still use it for other means."
"You lie." Iramin said.
"Nope, just watch and see." Tatenashi said as she began to twirl it around. "I'm able to use the water because I have nanobots coursing through it that allows me to use the water how I see. My lance might have been deactivated because of your virus, but I still have some uses for it." She was gathering water around her lance and was planning to use all of it in one shot.
"You still won't be able to penetrate my armor!" Iramin said as he acted as Sakyo's shield and held his ground. Tatenashi charged straight at Iramin and tried to put all her power in just one attack. She flew straight at him. Iramin tried countering as he used the stinger at her. It did managed to slash against Tatenashi's side with blood spill out of her, but she endured the pain and smashed her lance right into him. She tried to put all the force and power she could into that attack, but Iramin tried his best to hold his ground against the force of the attack.
"Come on... Come on..." Tatenashi pleaded as she tried to put as much power as she could into it and push through those defenses.
"I am Sakyo Qilin's shield!" Iramin boasted as he tried to endure. "I won't fall or break so easily! If you continue with this, you will die!"
"I can't die. Didn't you know that I'm immortal?" Tatenashi teased. Her power seemed to be overpowering his as she was starting to break through.
"Enough!" Iramin shouted and smashed his fists against her as hard as he could. Tatenashi took a pretty hard hit and crashed into the ground. She was so close as she did appear to leave a large dent in Scorpio. "That was a dangerous and deadly approach you just took, but it ended up being for nothing."
"I wouldn't say that..." Tatenashi said as she was trying to get back up.
"Is this some sort of game to you?" Iramin questioned as he was getting annoyed with her playful manner. "This is a matter of life or death. A desperate attack like that will only lead to failure and your own demise. I see you might have had some skill, but it would seem that it has made you arrogant." Iramin claims he has Tatenashi in checkmate. She's wounded and her best attack and last ditch effort ended in failure.
"Do you know why I was choses as the academy's president?" Tatenashi said. "It's because I'm the best fighter with vast knowledge on the I.S. and possess great tactics. Everyome tries to think one step ahead, but I'm actually three. Even when it looks like I'm just making a desperate attempt." Tatenashi raised her hands to snap her fingers. Iramin didn't get what she was talking about until she pointed to something. Inside the dent was something Tatenashi left behind. "I left an aqua crystal from that last attack. Time to say goodbye." She snapped her fingers and the crystal detonated and did some real damage since Scorpio was greatly damaged. It was getting blast by a powerful force of ice. It was enough to take Iramin out as he dropped out of the sky and into the water. Tatenashi had to take a deadly approach to pull off the win. That marked the fall of the final king.
...
Davis: We did it! We managed to bring down the Four Heavenly Kings, but things aren't over yet. Sakyo Qilin is still out there. Just when it seemed like we were winning, Sakyo managed to rally the troops to fight again. I guess we should have done something about the soldiers as they all kept on attacking.
