[Unknown, Close to NESTS base]
The helicopter had just arrived at the location and the two teams got out of them and looked at the mountain in front of them that had a huge steel door.
Man 1: The sponsor would like to meet all of you inside, Good luck.
The man walked towards the helicopter and got inside before flying away, the other man did the same too.
Leone: This is it, we are finally going to find out who hosted the tournament.
Rin: Let's get going.
The 8 girls went to the huge door and saw a scanner, it scanned all of them before the huge door opened. All of them rushed inside and continued running until they reached a room.
An arena built by NESTS, with the objective of reading the data of the fighters of the tournament. The area was completely golden, in the center, beside red lights passing all over the area, green walls, ground and can be seen strong lights in the background. The eight girls saw Kyo-01 and Kyo-02.
Azalea: So the Cartel is behind this.
Leone: What are they planning to do.
Kyo-02: That's a surprise, you have to go through us first.
Shiki: You're the clones of my brother. I'm very disappointed that you're all weak, this isn't doing any justice to my brother.
Kyo-01: You dare call us weak. After I'm done with you, you'll be begging for mercy.
Shiki: Kyo-02, you remind me of myself for some reason and Kyo-01, you remind me of Ryoma. The Kusanagi pal remind me of Kyo.
Kyo-02: I don't know what reminds you of me but we have different histories.
Shiki: You guys will be dealing with me and Rosa. The rest of you continue running to whoever the sponsor is.
Rin: Right.
The other six girls continued running, leaving Rosa and Shiki with the two clones.
Shiki: Clone-02 is mine, you deal with Clone-01.
Rosa: Right.
The four of them charged at each other and the fight between the clones and two women began.
[With the others]
The six of them continued running towards the main room. Azalea brought out her purple metal gloves and put them on, the six of them stopped running.
Leona: Why did we stop?
Rin: I want you and Sam to search this place. There must be something that can help us here.
Leona: Right.
Leona and Sam separated from the others to find anything that could help them. The four remaining girls continued running until they reached another room.
A porch next to staircases in the palace-like interior of NESTS' laboratory. Curtains on both sides, archer and medieval knight statues. Can be seen a ladder in the left, a control panel in the right, and an ascending elevator in the background. A power turbine can also be seen near a control panel. The girls saw Krizalid.
Azalea: Krizalid, are you the real mastermind behind this tournament?
Krizalid: Not me, someone very powerful is the one who hosted this tournament and you have to go through me to get to the sponsor.
Leone: I'll deal with you. The rest of you meet up with the so-called sponsor of this tournament.
Azalea: Right.
The three girls ran towards the location where the sponsor of this tournament was.
Leone: Let's get this show on the road you freak.
Krizalid: You better feast on this before you die.
The three of them charged at each other and began fight.
[With Rin, Azalea, and Rose]
The three of them reached the main room. Features a red carpet in the center of the stage surrounded by statues of women and mythological creatures and by stone steles. The lights were golden. The three girls were looking at a figure who had her back turned on them, they could see her strawberry blonde hair.
Azalea: You must be the sponsor?
Azalea-01: Yes, I'm the sponsor of this tournament. So we finally meet Azalea Shirayuki of the Shirayuki clan.
Azalea: Can you show yourself right now, I'm tired of the suspension.
Azalea-01: I would like to show my gorgeous face, but you're making me sick Azalea Shirayuki.
Rin: Just show your face before I mess it up.
Azalea-01: Trinity Yasakani, the strongest female I have ever seen. I will show all of you my face.
Azalea-01 turned around and everyone got shocked when they saw her, she may look different than Azalea but her face was the same as her's.
Azalea: You're...
Azalea-01: Yes, I'm the you that you always wanted to be.
Azalea: But how can this be. How did the Cartel clone me.
Azalea-01: The time you were a member of the Cartel. Those days the scientists were experimenting on you, they cloned you. I was kept in my containment tube for years until I was ready for combat.
Azalea: So you were that project they were working on. I heard that there were two of you, where is the other one?
Azalea-01: He is training, preparing himself to destroy someone close to you.
Azalea: What are you gonna do now.
Azalea-01: I'm gonna destroy you and your entire bloodline.
A dark aura engulfed Azalea-01 as she was preparing herself to destroy Azalea.
Azalea: Umbrakinesis. How about we make this Photokinesis vs Umbrakinesis.
A white aura engulfed Azalea as she was preparing herself to fight her clone.
Azalea: Rin and Rose, this one is mine. You sit this one out.
Rin:...
Rose: Right.
Azalea and Azalea-01 charged at each other with the intentions to kill.
Azalea-01's shadow stretches across the floor towards Azalea, who avoided the blow and tried punching Azalea-01 in the face, but Azalea-01 dodged the attack and trapped Azalea with her shadow and turned around before blowing her away with an unseen force.
Azalea got on her feet and looked at Azalea-01, she knew that she was gonna have trouble with Azalea-01's ability to manipulate shadows, so she had to be careful.
Azalea opened her palm and conjured a white hole that covered the area and drew in light matter that tried damaging Azalea-01, but she punched the ground and unleashed a black hole that covered the area and drew in dark matter that countered the light matter.
Azalea tried to use her light powers to trap Azalea-01, who used her shadow to stop Azalea's attack. Azalea stepped forward before surrounding her arms in light and tried slashing Azalea-01 with both her arms, but the clone dodged the attack and leaped in the air before surrounding her arms in darkness and tried slashing Azalea with both her arms, but she blocked the attack.
Azalea-01 surrounded her arms in darkness and tried slashing Azalea repeatedly with her arms, but she dodged all the slashes before Azalea-01 shot out darkness from her hands at Azalea, but she dodged the attack. Azalea charged up light in her leg before Azalea leaped forward and tried kicking Azalea-01 the head, but the clone dodged and fired out a large wave of darkness from her hands towards Azalea, who dodged the attack and made the wave destroy some of the things in the room.
Azalea tried delivering a palm strike with her leading hand in tandem with an explosive stomp, but the clone dodged the attack from Azalea and hit Azalea with a palm strike to blast her back, then leaped forward with an aerial command grab. Upon connecting, she climbed up Azalea and snapped her neck with her legs, but then also twirled around and slammed Azalea to the floor in unison with doing a spearhand to Azalea's chest upon landing.
Azalea got on her feet after the attack and rushed at Azalea-01 while hopping forward with a rushing-step-leap punch, launching Azalea-01 with a palm strike to her stomach, jumped from wall to wall to strike at her rapidly whilst ascending per wall-jump, and finished with a falling dragon kick that drove Azalea-01 to the floor.
Azalea-01 got on her feet and waved her arms and threw a ball of darkness at Azalea, who waved her arms and threw a ball of light at Azalea-01's ball of darkness, creating an explosion on contact.
Azalea lifted herself high in the air, then flashed the area white. During this, Azalea-01 was hit multiple times. Azalea appeared again and launched a huge wave of light towards Azalea-01 who disappeared through her shadow, making the wave of light destroy the room some more.
Azalea-01 appeared close to Azalea and used her shadow to trap her before she shrouded her arms with darkness and repeatedly punched Azalea before using Azalea's shadow to paralyse her and blasted her away with an unseen force, sending her crashing into the wall. Azalea got off the wall.
Azalea-01 conjured a demonic creature with her shadow and lunged it at Azalea. Once it hit from far away, she ordered the shadow to consume Azalea as she judged him, all while sealing her fate as the area fades to black. No one couldn't see anything, the only thing they could were the crimson eyes that were glowing very dangerously.
[With Shiki and Rosa]
The two of them were dealing with the clones very easily.
Shiki stepped forward and delivered a right hook and made an explosion occur where she punched, followed up by sweeping Kyo-02's feet with a low lariat, ending off by uppercutting Kyo-02 with a fiery explosion, launching him into the air and crashed into the ground.
Kyo-02 got on his feet and jumped and swung his back leg around for an overhead kick, which Shiki dodged and stepped forward and delivered a right hook and made an explosion occur where she punched, followed up by driving her rear elbow into Kyo-02 and made an explosion where she drove her rear elbow, ending off by stopping in place and punched upwards with an explosive punch, launching Kyo-02 into the ground and crashed into the ground.
Kyo-02 got on his feet and tried delivering a left hook, but Shiki blocked Kyo-02's attack before countering him by elbowing him on the chest which created an explosion. Kyo-02 tried delivering a right hook, but Shiki blocked Kyo-02's attack before countering him by punching him on the legs which created an explosion.
Kyo-02 got on his feet and jumped into the air and as he fell back down, he tried slamming his fists into Shiki's head, but she dodged the attack and delivered two high kicks to Kyo-02 before she jumped forward and kicked Kyo-02 away before dashing towards him and kicked him again before flipping and kicked him to the ground. Kyo-02 still got on his feet.
Kyo-02 createys a pillar of flames around him, then tried punching Shiki away with a rear hook, creating 4 afterimages of himself in the process, but Shiki blocked the attack and jumped into the before spinning repeatedly in the air with her arms out, shrouded in flames, burning Kyo-02 repeatedly, ending off with an overhead kick that sent Kyo-02 crashing into the ground.
Kyo-02 got on his feet and ran at Shiki, grabbed her by her neck, then engulfed himself with flames, burning up completely until a massive explosion erupts. Shiki got on her feet and looked at Kyo-02, the attack didn't do anything to her.
Shiki: You know 2 of my favorite moves but they aren't doing anything to me. You must have another move that can turn this around.
Kyo-02: Yes.
Shiki: I'm giving you a free shot, you better make it count.
Kyo-02 charged up his fist with a powerful flame before dashing forward and punched Shiki, once the punch connected, a massive explosion occurred, blowing up the area around Shiki. When the smoke died down, Shiki was revealed to be unscathed by the attack, shocking Kyo-02.
Shiki: [Disappointed] That move was my finishing blow since I was very young and you made it look lame. It's time I end this fight with the move I learned from the old man.
Shiki punched Kyo-02 with a flaming fist before waving her arm upward and made a wave of fire and then shoulder tackled Kyo-02 before making a pillar of flames around her as Shiki rose into the air. Kyo-02 was revealed to be defeated after the attack, Shiki walked towards Kyo-02.
Shiki: You managed to survive my attack, not bad. Say you quit and I will not burn you to crisp.
Kyo-02: Go to hell.
Shiki delivered a 3 hit punch, ending with a punch to the sky that exploded and launched Kyo-02 before Shiki raised her left hand in the air while covered in flames.
Shiki: Homura ni e...HAI NI YAGARE!
Shiki swung forward, releasing a wave of flames towards Kyo-02 before he could hit the ground, engulfing him and created a huge explosion. When the smoke died down, Kyo-02 was revealed to be unconscious with major burns on his body.
Shiki: The flames live within me.
Shiki turned towards the direction where Rosa was fighting Kyo-01.
Kyo-1 tried delivering a hook punch which Rosa smoothly dodged and slapped Kyo-01 with her rear hand before she placed her palm near Kyo-01's stomach, then blew him away with a small ball of light.
Kyo-01 rushed towards Rosa and tried jabbing Rosa overhead with his elbow, but she blocked the attack and and tried delivering a powerful right hook which Kyo-01 dodged and spun upwards while surrounded by flames, but Rosa dodged him and delivered a vicious right hook, followed up by a massive left hook before driving her rear elbow into Kyo-01, sending him crashing into the ground.
Kyo-01 got on his feet and fired a fiery projectile that traveled along the ground towards Rosa who slashed the air upwards with rainbow light, deflecting the fiery projectile back towards Kyo-01 who avoided his own attack.
Kyo-01 tried delivering a jumping high kick which Rosa dodged with complete ease and grabbed Kyo-01, then launched him with a pillar of light, followed up by thrusting her hand forward, releasing a cluster of light projectiles that harmed Kyo-01 upon contact, then she slashed Kyo-01 while in mid-air with a glowing hand before she threw a ball of rainbow-colored light which engulfed the room with a rainbow-colored light. When the light died down, Kyo-01 was on his knees, he got on his feet.
Kyo-01 raised his left hand in the air and swung forward, releasing a wave of flames towards Rosa, who teleported herself behind Kyo-01, protecting herself from the wave of flames. Rosa then thrusted her hand out, creating a localised explosion of light around her hand which harmed Kyo-01 upon contact.
Kyo-01 punched the ground and released a stream of flames towards Rosa, who disappeared and reappeared behind Kyo-01 and delivered a powerful right hook, followed by a massive left hook, she then swept Kyo-01 off his feet with a low lariat before spinning around and uppercutted Kyo-01 with a light infused uppercut, launching him into the air and crashed into the ground very hard.
Kyo-01 got on his feet and raised his left hand in the air while covered in flames and swung forward, releasing a wave of flames towards Rosa, who teleported herself behind Kyo-01 and delivered a hook punch before jabbing Kyo-01 overhead with her elbow, then she drove her elbow into his back and tossed Kyo-01 over his shoulders before dropping his elbow atop him when she slammed him into the ground.
Kyo-01 got on his feet after the attack and engulfed himself with flames and tried delivering a hook punch which Rosa swiftly dodged before releasing all the flames in a wave of flames towards Rosa, who formed a portal of light in front of her, which sucked in all the flames before it disappeared and reappeared atop Kyo-01, releasing the wave of flames overhead which engulfed him and created a small explosion of flames. When the smoke died down, Kyo-01 was revealed to be on her shaky feet.
Rosa: I'm still not satisfied with this. I'm giving you one last shot, you better make it count.
Kyo-01 threw out a small fireball which created a large number of flaming pillars to form and burned Rosa. Rosa got on her feet feet after the attack, it didn't do anything to her and that made her frown.
Rosa: Are you clones that weak or what? I'm not having any fun beating the stuffing out of weaklings like you.
Rosa smashed Kyo-01 with her elbow and clumsily side kicked him away from her before she rushed towards Kyo-01 and delivered a powerful left hook, then a massive right hook before she performed two elbow uppercuts on Kyo-01 and launched him upwards with her back. Kyo-01 got on his feet after the attack.
Rosa flew towards Kyo-01 with an axe-kick, sending the clone a couple of feet away before Rosa ran towards Kyo-01 then delivered an uppercut and an overhead smash in one smooth motion, then she charged at Kyo-01 with an overwhelmingly powerful shoulder tackle, sending him crashing into a wall before Rosa rushed towards him and delivered a massive left hook, followed by a massive right hook before she spun around and kicked Kyo-01, sending him through the wall.
Rosa: The Dark judgment?
Rosa glid towards Kyo-01 and grabbed him. Suddenly, it got dark for everyone to see as Kyo-01 was relentlessly beaten by a series of flashes, then it returned back to normal with Rosa turning her back on the unconscious Kyo-01.
Rosa: How disappointing.
Rosa walked towards Shiki, who was looking at the way ahead.
Rosa: What should we do with these clones?
Shiki: We should let them be. Let's go towards the others.
Rosa: Right.
The two of them rushed towards the location where the others were, leaving the two unconscious clones.
[With Leone]
Leone was easily beating Krizalid in a one sided fight.
Krizalid fired a purple projectile from his rear hand towards Leone, who dodged the attack and leaped towards a wall before leaping off the wall and charged at Krizalid and tried delivering a dive kick, but Krizalid dodged the dive kick and tried sweeping Leone's feet with a kick, but she easily dodged the attack and hit Krizalid with an overhead hammer strike with the bottom of her fist, slamming her into the ground.
Krizalid got on his feet and jumped into the air before he tried delivering a dive kick to Leone, who dodged the attack and grabbed Krizalid, smashed him head-first into the ground, then threw him high into the air before leaping after the airborne Krizalid and powerbombed him into the ground.
Krizalid got on his feet and completely burned his coat, he was done playing around.
Krizalid did s a spin kick, which created an angled ring of wind and launched it towards Leone, who reared back with both arms raised upwards and clenched together, then did a massive two-handed swipe downwards. This released a giant arc projectile of metallic energy towards the ring of wind, cutting it in half and headed towards Krizalid, who dodged the projectile, making it cut through some of the things.
Krizalid jumped forwards and tried to backhand Leone twice with alternating hands, but she dodged the attack and grabbed Krizalid by his throat, then rushed forward for a fair distance while scraping him along the ground, finishing by tossing him into the air before she snatched Krizalid out of the air, smashed him on the ground, jumped up again, and then brought him back down with an Earth-shattering body slam, generating a blood-red pillar of energy with a skull aura.
Krizalid got on his feet and dashed behind Leone and pushed her backwards before Krizalid tried delivering a powerful palm strike to Leone's back, but she blocked the attack with her foot and hit Krizalid with a short-mid distance shoulder charge, launching Krizalid into the air before Leone did a counter to Krizalid in the air by quickly throwing him to the ground then falling on him afterwards laughing maniacally, generating a white pillar of energy with a skull aura, then stomped on him again, generating a blood-red pillar of energy with a skull aura. Krizalid was very wounded after the attack.
Krizalid got on his feet and rushed forward and slammed Leone to the back wall, then barraged her with whip-like punches and finished with a strong punch. Leone was unfazed by the attack and moved forward while doing horizontal one-handed slashes that left a wake of metallic energy directly in front of her in a row, ending off by rearing back with both arms raised upwards and clenched together, then did a massive two-handed swipe downwards. This releases a giant arc projectile of metallic energy that hit Krizalid point-blank, nearly cutting him in half.
Krizalid created an explosion of flames around him, which Leone avoided. He then ended the move with a flaming cross-slash, which Leone also avoided. Krizalid then rushed forward and slammed Leone to the back wall, then barraged her with whip-like punches and finished with a pincering attack. Leone was unfazed by the attack once again.
Krizalid created an explosion of flames around him, which Leone avoided once again. He then ended the move with a flaming charge attack, but Leone caught his flaming fists and jabbed Krizalid in the middle, followed by knocking him away with a backhand before Leone reared her arm back, then uppercutted Krizalid into the air before he crashed into the ground.
Krizalid got on his feet and rushed forward and disappeared, he tried slicing Leone rapidly for 2 seconds, but she swiftly blocked all the slashes before Krizalid appeared and was shocked that his attack didn't work.
Leone kicked Krizalid into the air and leaped after him like a meteor before she kicked him in the guts, sending him crashing into the ground, Leone then diving down with a powerful kick towards Krizalid, practically surfing on Krizalid to the end of the room before jumping off, generating a blood-red pillar of energy with a skull aura. Krizalid was revealed to be defeated after the attack.
Leone: This is where it ends Krizalid. I thought you were strong, but you just proved to me that you're a pathetic weakling.
Krizalid: I'm not a weakling little girl. Who said that this was over yet.
Smoke suddenly covered the entire room, making it harder for Leone to see, Krizalid took that as his chance to escape. Leone tried sensing Krizalid's energy, but she couldn't sense it. When the smoke died down, Krizalid was nowhere to be seen.
Leone: He escaped, how pathetic.
???: Leone!
Leone turned around and saw Shiki and Rosa running towards her, the two of them stopped in front of Leone.
Rosa: Where are the others?
Leone: They went to find the sponsor of this tournament.
Shiki: You were fighting someone, right?
Leone: Yes, but he escaped. Let's go see what the others are doing.
Shiki/Rosa: Right.
The three of them ran towards the other room where the others where.
[With Azalea and the others]
It was still dark and everyone couldn't see anything except for the clone. A huge pillar of light engulfed the entire area, making it bright in the room. Azalea was revealed to be fine after the attack.
Azalea-01: How are you still alive after I hit you with one of my ultimate attacks.
Azalea: You almost got me, but thanks to my powers to manipulate the universe, I created a portal before your monster could eat me and I went to the universe that I created myself and returned back here afterwards.
Azalea-01: That's an impressive ability you have there, but you're still weak compared to me.
Azalea: Let's settle this right now.
Azalea-01: With your death.
The two girls charged at each other. Azalea jumped forward and tried delivering a quick barrage of kicks, which Azalea-01 swiftly blocked and thrusted her leg forward, trying to kick Azalea, but she ducked and slid down and tried hitting Azalea-01 with two low kicks in quick succession, but Azalea-01 avoided the attack by leaping high into the air.
Azalea-01 dived down with a darkness-enhanced kick, but Azalea leaped away from the attack, making Azalea-01 create a huge crater upon contact. Azalea-01 tried delivering a quick series of punches and kicks at Azalea, who blocked all the punches and kicks, but the power behind the blows were sending Azalea a few feet away. Azalea felt herself close to a wall while blocking all the blows before Azalea-01 reeled back her arm and tried delivering a powerful hook punch that Azalea dodged, making Azalea punch the wall, breaking all of it to bits.
The room started shaking but everyone weren't scared. Azalea and Azalea-01 charged at each other once again. Azalea tried delivering an overhead karate chop, which Azalea-01 swiftly blocked and stepped back, then tried punching Azalea in her solar plexus, but Azalea gracefully dodged the attack and glared at Azalea-01.
Azalea-01 rushed forward and tried launching Azalea with an upper elbow strike, but Azalea dodged the attack and winded back, then punched foward, but Azalea-01 blocked the attack and lunged at Azalea with a slicing elbow strike which Azalea dodged with a backflip, but Azalea-01 managed to slice a single strand of Azalea's hair. Azalea performed a double thrusting strike at Azalea-01, who leaped back, avoiding the attack.
Azalea: I hate to admit it, but I'm having so much fun.
Azalea-01: Me too, this is my first time fighting someone and I'm having so much fun.
Azalea: You have got that from my DNA, fighting is what I was born to do. Shall we continue dancing?
Azalea-01: Right after you.
Azalea tried delivering an overhead elbow strike, which Azalea-01 swiftly blocked and tried delivering a powerful hook punch with her front, but Azalea gracefully dodged it and tried delivering an inward chop with her rear hand, but Azalea-01 blocked it and stepped forwards for a side kic which Azalea dodged with ease.
Azalea tried hitting Azalea-01 with a jumping uppercut with her rear fist, but the clone avoided the attack and tried delivering a left hook, which Azalea blocked and tried delivering a right hook, which the clone blocked and tried delivering a hook punch, which Azalea blocked and tried delivering a body hook, which the clone dodged and tried delivering a low lariat, but Azalea blocked it with ease.
Azalea took a stance, then tried delivering a straight punch to Azalea-01's solar plexus, but Azalea-01 blocked the straight punch and tried striking Azalea three times in her midsection, but the original blocked all the strikes, but the power behind the strikes sent her crashing into a wall. Azalea got off the wall and charged at her clone.
Azalea tried jabbing Azalea-01 three times in her stomach, but the clone blocked all the jabs and tried delivering a downwards aerial kick which the original dodged with ease and tried delivering an overhead axe-kick, which the clone blocked and tried delivering a strong kick forward, but Azalea gracefully dodged the kick and tried delivering a jumping overhead chop, which the clone blocked. Azalea and her clone glared at each other.
Azalea dashed forward to punch Azalea-01, but the clone dodged and grabbed Azalea and kicked her forwards while chuckling, followed up by driving her rear elbow into Azalea before punching her in the face, sending her crashing into a wall. Azalea was still on the wall with her bangs covering her eyes.
Azalea: (This clone is very powerful, I didn't think that the Cartel could create such a powerful being. I can use light and it can use darkness, the opposite of light. I'm very excited to face myself.)
Azalea got off the wall and smiled at the clone, which looked at her with confusion. Azalea raised her leg high into the air and swung it down, kicking the ground very hard, creating a massive crater and generated a massive gust of wind, which made it harder for the clone to see. Azalea instantly appeared in front of the clone and kicked Azalea-01 into the air, making her hit the ceiling and before she could hit the ground, Azalea delivered a powerful straight punch, which sent Azalea-01 crashing into a wall.
The clone got off the wall and charged at Azalea. Azalea-01 tried delivering a quick series of blows at Azalea, who swiftly dodged all the blows with her eyes closed before Azalea-01 performed a rolling overhead kick on Azalea, who dodged the attack, then Azalea-01 followed it up with a roundhouse with her other leg which Azalea blocked and smirked at her clone.
Azalea-01 tried hitting Azalea with a thrusting kick upwards, but Azalea dodged it and tried delivering a sweeping low kick while standing in place, but the clone avoided the attack and tried delivering a powerful rising uppercut, but Azalea gracefully avoided the attack and flew at the clone with a powerful fist, but the clone blocked the attack and tried kicking Azalea in her midsection, but she dodged the attack.
Azalea did an acrobatic flip towards Azalea-01 and tried smashing Azalea-01 below her while airborne, but the clone dodged the attack, making Azalea smash the ground, creating a huge crater. Azalea-01 rushed towards Azalea and delivered a barrage of armor-piercing slaps on her before delivering an Earth-shattering slap that sent her crashing into a wall. Azalea got off the wall.
Azalea did an acrobatic flip towards Azalea-01 and dive kicked towards Azalea-01 while in mid-air, Azalea-01 managed to dodge the attack, making Azalea kick the ground, further destroying the room. Azalea did an acrobatic flip towards Azalea-01 who was in mid-air and caught Azalea-01 whilst airborne and slammed her onto the ground head first. Azalea-01 got on her feet and performed a flimsy donkey kick at Azalea, who blocked it and smiled at her clone which glared at her.
Azalea swung her arms down, creating an arch of light in front of herself and rushed towards Azalea-01, who punched the arch of light with an darkness-laced fist which formed a huge orb of darkness. The arch of light collided with the huge orb of darkness, creating a huge explosion that destroyed the entire room. Rin and Rose were safe due to the barrier of light that Rose created around themselves.
Azalea rushed forward with a side kick loaded with light, but Azalea-01 dodged the attack and grabbed Azalea with both hands, then blasted her with a wave of darkness before calling out the darkness from above which hit both of them, creating an explosion. When the smoke died down, Azalea-01 was revealed to be just fine, but Azalea was very wounded after the attack.
Azalea created a sphere of light around herself while Azalea-01 created a sphere of darkness around herself, then the two of them charged at each other. The two of them collided and created a huge explosion that shook the entire entire base. Azalea threw out a stream of light from her hand towards Azalea-01, who threw out a stream of darkness towards the stream of light, the two streams collided and created an explosion that destroyed the entire room. The base started shaking and the rocks started falling down as the base was crumbling.
Azalea-01: I guess we'll have to end our battle early.
Azalea: You're not going anywhere.
Azalea-01 dashed across the entire room and left a trail of darkness. Shiki, Rosa, and Leone got in the room and saw the fight.
Shiki: The base is gonna collapse, we better get out of here.
Rin: I know, but Azalea must end the fight with her clone first.
Azalea-01 kicked Azalea with a kick loaded with darkness, sending Azalea crashing into a wall before launching out an electrified ball of darkness at Azalea, shocking her and creating an explosion. Azalea-01 got out of the room and looked at everyone.
Azalea-01: This base is gonna self-destruct in less than 1 minute. You better escape, that's if you can get out of here.
Everyone were wondering what the clone was talking about, a metal door suddenly closed the entrance. Azalea-01 started running to get out of the base. In the base, everyone were panicking except for Rin and Leone, who still had their neutral expressions.
Shiki rushed towards the door and punched it with all her might, creating a shockwave that blasted everyone away, but it didn't even put a dent on the door.
Shiki: This door was designed to endure our blows, but not for long.
Shiki shrouded her fists with flames and started punching the door repeatedly, but they didn't do anything to the door.
???: 20 seconds remaining.
Rin: Stand back everyone.
Rin briefly succumbed to the riot of the blood and rushed towards the door while dragging her hands on the ground and delivered a massive upward slash that cleaved through the door.
Rin: Leone, let's do it.
Leone: Right.
The two girls jumped at the metal door and slashed and clawed it to pieces until there was nothing left, amazing everyone. All of them started running away, except for Rin who just turned around and walked to the room once again.
Rose: Rin, what are you doing?
Rin: I have something to do, I'll be with you guys after I'm done.
Rose: Please be alright.
Rin just continued walking, ignoring Rose. The others continued running away.
[Outside the base]
Sam and Leona were outside the base, looking at the blimp that was in the sky, someone flew past them into the sky and landed on top of the blimp.
Leona: What was that?
Sam: Maybe it was one of the super clones that were created to destroy the traitors of NESTS.
Leone: You're right, the base is collapsing. I hope that everyone gets out of here safely.
Then the lab started exploding, shocking the two women. They saw five figures running very fast, two of them jumped and tackled the two of them away from the base, protecting them. The base was totally destroyed and everyone saw the blimp.
Azalea: The spaceship, they are returning back to their HQ.
Sam: Who is that person on top of the blimp and where is Rin?
Rose: Rose stayed behind.
Sam: That will not be the first time that has ever happened. What is their next move.
[On top of the blimp]
Azalea-01 was looking at the others on the ground. She called Igniz with her wrist communicator.
Azalea-01: Lord Igniz, what should I do now. The base collapsed before I could destroy Azalea.
Igniz: What county are you at?
Azalea-01: Japan. Krizalid and the clones are safe in the blimp.
Igniz: Destroy Japan.
Azalea-01: Yes Milord.
Azalea-01 raised both of her hands into the air and formed a small ball of darkness, that continued growing until it was large enough to destroy an entire continent, Azalea-01 wanted to destroy the entire continent, not just Japan.
[On the ground]
Everyone got shocked when they saw the huge ball of darkness.
Leona: What is that?
Rose: The power I'm sensing from that ball of darkness is more than enough to destroy the entire continent. We better stop it or innocent people will die.
???: She's right.
Everyone turned around and saw Rin, who didn't have a single scratch on her.
Rose: You're...
Rin: Alive. Let's stop that thing before our home gets destroyed.
All: Right.
Azalea-01 threw the massive ball of darkness towards the ground, which was moving slowly. Everyone got ready to stop it, but one of them had other plans.
Rose turned towards the others and smiled very sadly at them, confusing them.
Rin: What's wrong Rose?
Rose: There's no much time left and I can only think of one way to stop this.
The statement confused everyone.
Shiki: What are you talking about?
Rosa: No don't. I think I know what you have planned Rose, you don't have to do this.
Rosa knew what Rose was planning to do, it involved a technique that was a last resort to their clan and it came out with an ultimate prize. It broke Rose to see her sister very sad but she had no choice but to do what she had to do.
Rose: Goodbye friends.
Some of them realised what Rose was gonna do, they were two shocked to do anything.
Leona: Don't do it, you know what will happen when you do it.
Rose ignored Leona before she jumped into the air and sprouted wings of light out of her back and flew towards the massive ball of darkness at the speed of light.
Rosa: NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Everyone were very shocked. For the first time in her life, Rin was very helpless to do anything. Rose got to the ball of darkness and tried pushing it, she turned her head around and looked at her friends and sister, she had tears in her eyes.
Rose: Everyone, forgive me for doing this but it's the only way to save everyone. Rosa, I'm sorry that it had to come to this.
Rosa: BUT YOU PROMISED ME THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ME!
Rose: I know, I will always be there for you. Shiki, take care of my little sister for me.
Shiki: I'LL DO SO, ROSE!
Rose: Rin...
Rin: DON'T SAY ANYTHING...
Rose: WILL YOU SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME! Trinity Yasakani I'll miss you very much. You're the person that I wanted to be with for my entire life.
Rin: What do you want to say?
Rose: I LOVE YOU TRINITY YASAKANI! I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU SINCE YOU CAME TO MY LIFE! YOU CHANGED MY LIFE SINCE WE MET EACH OTHER! YOU WERE THE FIRST PERSON TO MAKE ME LAUGH AND SMILE SINCE MY PARENTS' DEATH! THERE IS NO ONE IN THE WORLD THAT I WANT TO BE WITH THAN YOU!
Rin was shocked at what she heard. She too loved Rose.
Rin: I love you too, Rose! Please come down and we can stop this together. You don't have to do this.
Rose turned towards the ball of darkness and a bright light engulfed her. She slowly turned towards Rin with a huge smile on her face.
Rose: REMEMBER MEEEE...
A bright light suddenly engulfed the entire Earth in one huge explosion, shaking the Earth rapidly. When the bright light died down, there was no sign of Rose. Everyone fell to their knees, saddened by sacrifice of their friend. Rosa was crying her heart out as Shiki was trying her best to calm her down, Rin was blankly staring at the last place where she last saw Rose.
Sam had tears in her eyes as she was sad that she lost her friend. She looked at Rin and saw her blankly staring at the sky.
Sam: Rin, are you alright.
Rin suddenly looked at the blimp and her eyes turned eerie red, scaring everyone.
Rin: They took her away from me. I'm gonna find every member of NESTS and rip them to shreds. My blood boils.
Rin suddenly jumped into the air and threw a small purple fireball at the ground, causing a massive beam of purple flames to erupt and head towards the blimp.
[Inside the blimp]
Azalea-01 was disappointed that someone stopped her ball of darkness. She looked at Krizalid, Kyo-01, and Kyo-02.
Azalea-01: Let's head back to the HQ.
Krizalid: Right, what is that thing that is coming towards the blimp?
Azalea-01 looked at where Krizalid was looking and saw a massive beam of purple flames heading towards the blimp.
Azalea-01: It's an attack from Rin.
Azalea-01 created a dark portal.
Azalea-01: This portal will get you to the HQ, hurry.
Krizalid, Kyo-01, and Kyo-02 got into the portal and it disappeared afterwards. Azalea-01 just stayed in the blimp. The massive beam of purple flames hit the blimp, destroying it in an instant and created a massive explosion. When the smoke died down, there were no remains of the the blimp, the force of the explosion launched Azalea-01 far away.
[With Rin and the others]
After destroying the blimp, Rin fell to her knees and punched the ground, creating a huge crater.
Rin: She's dead...
Azalea: It's all my fault, I should have destroyed that clone when I had the chance.
Leone: She knew the cost and she still did it. She died as a true warrior, we should call Kris.
Leona: Yes, he must know a way to get us to the HQ of NESTS.
Rin got on her feet and walked away from the others.
Shiki: Where are you going?
Rin: I'm going to train. I could have easily dismantled that clone but I let Azalea toy with it, someone had to pay the ultimate price because of that. I'll be checking on Rosa everyday to make sure she's alright.
Rin disappeared in thin air, leaving everyone. Azalea looked at the ground in shame, she walked away too.
Leone: Where are you going?
Azalea: Home. I'm gonna train so that I can get strong to destroy that clone.
The others walked away, leaving only Sam, Rosa, and Shiki who was trying her best to comfort Rosa.
Shiki: Everything is gonna be alright Rosa, you still have me.
Sam: You have me too.
Shiki and Sam held Rosa and walked away.
[In the middle of the forest]
Azalea-01 was under a tree, very wounded. She got on her feet and gasped in pain.
???: How hilarious, I thought you were strong.
Azalea-01 turned towards the source of the voice and saw Kris-01 smirking at her.
Azalea-01: It was just a sneak attack. What are you holding?
Kris-01 threw the thing or someone he was carrying. The person was revealed to be Rose, who was unconscious and very wounded.
Azalea-01: [Shocked] How did she survive that suicidal attack?
Kris-01: We don't know. Lord Igniz wants me to bring her so that we can use her DNA to create another powerful clone and brainwash her so she could be on our side.
Azalea-01: Let's go.
Kris-01 created a portal and the two of them got in it before it disappeared.
[At a forest]
Yasakani, Ryoma, Shin, and Kris were in front of Exile-Hell, Seiren, Black Kulou, and Original Rozwell, who were on their knees, defeated.
Rozwell: How can we be defeated by teenagers like you.
Yasakani: We weren't even warming up. I have told about your incredible strength Rozwell, but you were really pathetic.
Kulou: We weren't expecting someone as strong as you to be here.
Ryoma: I was using the fighting style i liked to use when I was young. Kulou, you were strong but I had already surpassed you when I was only 19 years old.
Exile: To be defeated yet again by a mortal. It was those 2 Yagami brats first, now I'm defeated by a weakling from the Yata clan.
Shin: You're the weakling here. If you want to get your ass kicked once again, you know where to find me.
Seiren: You're strong, Kris. I'll be looking forward to our next battle.
Kris: I have to admit that it was fun, I'll be happy to fight you again.
A portal appeared and sucked in Exile before disappearing. Black Kulou, Original Rozwell, and Seiren disappeared in thin air, leaving the four boys. The four of them turned around and started walking away.
Kris: We have stopped those four.
Yasakani: Yes, Ashura will be proud that we stopped every threat that we have faced. I haven't seen Saiki and the others since the DUSK tournament.
Shin: They must be training to destroy us. I haven't seen the hakkeshu.
Kris: Even the Cartel.
Ryoma: Whatever they bring at us, we will always kick their asses. You guys are gonna get married.
Shin: When are you gonna propose to your girlfriends?
Ryoma: After you and Kris get married.
Yasakani: After we destroy all the evil in this world. We are not even aging, we are still teenagers.
Kris: Even Azalea and Leone aren't aging. My mother is aging very slowly. She is 72 years and she looks like a 25 years old woman.
Yasakani: Who cares. Even Akiha is cursed with eternal youth by this god I don't know. Let's go, she must be worried about me.
The four of them walked away. Yasakani felt some presence and turned around to see the source of the presence but didn't see anyone, he shrugged it off and turned around before walking with the others. Unknown to him, a set of red glowing eyes were looking at him.
THE END
