"Doooyaaaaaaaaa!"
Yozakura shouted as she broke off from her group and went for Razen who caught her punch with his swords and forced her away before quickly turning around, leaving an after image and blocking Asuka's attack. He pushed her back but Asuka, as tenacious as a Pit-bull, went right back at him full force. Yagyuu joined in to help Asuka out but Razen held them both at bay before forcing Yagyuu to a knee by catching her with the hilt of one of his sword in the thigh and then jumped away from Asuka with a smile which caused her to grit her teeth. Daymond blocked Murakumo and shiki's weapons with Shadow's Innocence and was managing to push them both back. Yumi launched multiple ice projectiles but Daymond quickly made a hand sign with his left hand.
"Heat Viper!"
A wave of force and heat sent Murakumo and Shiki away from him and easily melted Yumi's ice. Taking the moment her was given from his previous attack, Daymond swung Shadow's Innocence in a circular motion around him creating a moon like energy all around him.
"No you don't." said Minori as she came up behind him ready to strike.
Yumi saw a smile creep up on his face and quickly attempted to call out to Minori, but it was too late, the attack had already started.
"Empty Sky Form." said Daymond
At that moment, everything besides Daymond seemed to go in slow motion. Daymond turned towards Minori, leaving multiple after shades behind him before he commenced the true attack.
"WINTER'S REPULSE!"
Faster then any human eyes could detect, Daymond delivered a lighting fast strike to Minori, but he used the side of the blade. With a quick yelp, Minori was thrown out the air and sent flying towards Hibari. Feeling concerned for her, Hibari tried to catch her but the force she was flying at was almost terminal velocity and Hibari was sent flying as well, through a soccer goal and right into the new school building, causing a portion of it to collapse on the two shinobi.
'Crap, think I went to far there.' Daymond said before his eye's flashed green for a second and that same green light flashed in Hibari and Minori's area.
'Okay, they should be alright in a minute.' he thought to himself before he was suddenly blasted off to the side into the old school building by what looked like tentacles. Daymond looked up to see a seething Yagyuu and a giant squid behind her.
"You, how dare you! I WILL KILL YOU!" shouted an enraged Yagyuu.
'Hell hath no fury like a women scorned.' thought Daymond as he pulled himself out of the rubble and quickly moved to the sides to avoid the tentacles.
"Now!" called a familiar voice
Daymond quickly turned his head to see both Ikaruga and Katsuragi coming at him. They both engaged him in a two on one and he was fighting them off very well, until Katsuragi caught him with a kick to the gut and then one right to the side of the head, sending him backwards.
"Yea, we got this." said Katsuragi before Daymond stopped himself quickly and put his sword in a striking position.
"What is he about to do now?" questioned Ikaruga who had Hein in a defensive position.
"Samurai Ninja arts, Shinra Tensei RESOLUTION!"
Daymond swung Shadow's Innocence and created force and winds that not even a jet breaking the sound barrier could hope to match. With absolutely no time to defend themselves, Ikaruga and Katsuragi both let out screams as they were launched high into the air from the intense pressure of force and wind.
'Damn, I better use that tailwind to slow their fall or there gonna be crippled for life.' he thought before sensing multiple incoming attacks.
Daymond spun around and cut through a large ice needle, quickly sidestepped some shurikens which he then blocked each one of them as they swung around like boomerangs and then got caught in a deadlock with the recovered Murakumo. While in the middle of the struggle, Daymond sensed Yagyuu's presence and quickly turned around to block, however...
"Hello handsome, miss me?" asked a slightly messed up Katsuragi.
"What the fuck!" Daymond shouted in absolute surprise before he was launched into the air by a kick form Katsu.
'How the hell did she get down here so quickly?' thought Daymond
Just then he heard what sounded like an birds cry and the temperature seemed to be rising. He turned in mid air to see what looked like a phoenix speeding towards him. The flaming bird collided into him, sending him crashing to the ground in a fiery burst of flames. Ikaruga, also in pretty bad shape landed next to Katsuragi but quickly fell to a knee and Katsu fell on her rear, both heavily exhausted.
"That was some smart and quick thinking Katsuragi." said Ikaruga
"Well, at least we got him ou...no way!" Katsuragi said in disbelief at what she was seeing.
Ikaruga looked towards where her friend was looking and her eyes grew with disbelief. Daymond, with a few burns, bruises and tares in his clothes, walked out of the smoke and he still seemed ready for more.
"I'll admit, I didn't see that coming and it was very impressive using your hidden ninpo to control your decent speed Katsuragi, but I'm afraid its going to take a little more then that to put me down for the count." he said as he got back into a battle stance as Katsuragi and Ikaruga got ready as well.
'What is he? Immortal!' thought Katsuragi as Yagyuu went after him, fury in her eyes.
Razen and Asuka were in a dead lock as Yozakura interrupted it. Razen sidestepped form Asuka causing her to lose her balance and gave her a kick to the abdomen, sending her away from him and catching both of Yozakura's wrist.
"Forgive me, but this is gonna hurt, a lot." Razen said as his eyes flashed.
With unparalleled swiftness, Razen pulled down on Yozakura's arms and gave her a savage knee right in the gut, causing her to hack up some blood. He then grabbed her by the hair and then dropped her and clocked her in the same spot with his fist as she fell to the ground, holding her stomach. While she was there, Raze cocked his elbow back and gave her a hard shot to the back of her head, sending her into the ground. Daymond saw the whole thing and gave him a 'calm down look'. Raze calmed himself just as Asuka ran towards him and managed to catch him with a clean stab right in the shoulder left shoulder.
"Gyhk!" Raze grunted from the stab wound.
Asuka didn't get the chance to follow up however, Raze quickly recovered and yanked Asuka towards him into what looked like a bear hug.
"Let's see you get out of this one." he said as he jumped high into the air and began spinning like a twister.
As he began to fall back to the ground, he released the hug, grabbed her left arm and launched Asuka like a sling shot towards the ground. The impact of Asuka hitting the land was so thunderous that it could be heard all around the area. As the dust cleared, all that was there was a large hole which housed an unconscious Asuka.
"Oh no, Asuka!" shouted a concerned Katsuragi.
'Razen cool it down, your going too far there.' Daymond spoke into Razen's mind.
'Worry about yourself there. Did you forget about what you did to Hibari and Minori?' Razen replied.
'Don't worry, I healed them somewhat so they should be back up in a fe...'
Daymond's telepathy was cut off as he took another shot from Yagyuu's squid, sending him into the monkey bars. Daymond quickly got up and with a wicked smirk Shadow's Innocence was enveloped in flames.
"Time for some fried squid, the jaws of the Raksasha come to make the wicked their prey." he said before he dashed at the squid.
In a rush of speed slashes, Daymond cut through the squid nine times like butter. The squid fell to pieces and disintegrated from the flames of Daymonds attack. Yagyuu was stunned for a moment but she quickly regained her composure and went back on the offensive. Once she had closed the distance she tried her variation of a corkscrew kick. Daymond quickly sidestepped and caught her in mid air, spun her around, stood her up and then delivered a devastating super kick right on her chin, knocking her to the ground.
"Yagyuu, time for you to go to sleep." he said
With that, as Yagyuu tried to get up, Daymond gave her a triangle kick to the back of the head, completely knocking her out cold. During all this, Hibari had seen what had happened as she and Minori pulled themselves out of the rubble.
"YAGYUU CHAN!" Hibari screamed as she saw her friend fall to the ground not moving at all.
'And your telling me to cool it?' questioned Razen as he resumed telepathy.
'Relax, I only put enough force to put her to sleep for the rest of the day.' he replied
'Whatever, by the way, watch your six.' replied Razen
Daymond quickly turned around and used his sword to block both Yumi and Murakumo's attacks and then he slightly shifted his back so's to block Ikaruga's with his shield.
'I knew they where coming, I'm also aware that Katsuragi is underground again.'
Daymond quickly forced them back just as Katsuragi came up from the ground beneath him. She then tried to kick him in the chest but Daymond once again sidestepped and grabbed her leg as he forced it down and gave her a force palm right to the chest, completely destroying her top. Upon this, his face turned bright red as he turned away from the female kunoichi.
"Geez, well I can't really call you a perv since your actually trying to avoid looking at me." said Katsuragi as she attempted to cover her modesty.
"Okay, wasn't expecting that. Anyway let me tell you something about sneak attacks. They only work once and won't work again afterwards. now, please cover yourself." Daymond said while still facing the other way.
Katsuragi gave him a confused look but smirked as she got into a combat stance.
"Don't worry, I'm fine fighting like this." she replied
'What the hell! this girl is almost as bad as Alma Elma'
'I hope you realize I heard that darling.'
Daymond's eyes widened for a moment before he went back to his normal look.
'Please don't do this right now Alma, Its already bad enough I have to deal with this right now.'
'Teehee, your soo cute. You always got soo flustered whenever you saw me, Tama or Mefmera naked, even though in the other dimension we are basically married.'
'How are you even talking to the me from this world right now? Weren't you with the me that's in the Sanctum?'
'Yup, and still am. I have to admit that it really is amazing how you can be in more then one place at once.'
'I'm ending the transmission.'
'Awww, well good luck darling, oh and Tama wants some more loving'
Just as the transmission ended, Yozakura was sent flying from out of nowhere right into Katsuragi as they both crashed into a statue. Daymond looked over towards the direction Yozakura was thrown from to see Razen had brought out his blood claws again and was now working against Ikaruga and overpowering her. Katsuragi, seeing that Razen appeared to be the biggest threat at the moment, went after him. Razen turned around, saw Katsuragi, blushed soo much that steam came out his ears before he jumped back to avoid her kick. As she looked towards him she saw that he to was looking away but was going through his backpack that he brought earlier.
"What are you..."
Before she could her question, Razen took out what appeared to be a new plan black t-shirt that still had the tags on it and tossed it to the female kunoichi.
"If your gonna fight then at least cover yourself please." he said
Katsuragi sighed as she waited for a moment before putting the new shirt on. As she got it on she noticed it was a little bit loose but not by too much so she tied it so it would stop just above her mid riff. Razen turned around to face her and still blushed at the sight of her.
"Is this better?" she asked indifferently with her hands on her hips.
'Infinity help me.' thought Razen as he face palmed.
'Hey, it was a lot worse in MGQ then here. Much, much worse.' replied Daymond
'WHOPOW'
"Gyaaaaah"
'CRASH'
Daymond was suddenly taken by surprise by a black colored ice missile and sent flying straight through the school wall. He pulled himself out of the rubble to see it was Yumi that had nailed him but something was way different about her now. Her hair had turned ice blue and her eyes were a lite red color as she stared Daymond down with a look of anger as an icy blue aura surrounded her body.
"Oooooh shit." said Daymond
"What the heck! What's that form?" asked Razen
"Yumi's Ice King mode. I didn't think she could use that yet. This is gonna be interesting." said Daymond as he sat up and readied Shadow's Innocence.
"Great, so i assume that this me...Gyahhhhhhhhhh."
Before Razen could finish speaking, a bright green ball of energy collided into him and exploded, sending him sliding across the ground and into a nearby car. Daymond turned around to see Asuka was back standing. Her hair seemed to be floating slightly and there was a green aura around her body. She opened he eyes which had now turned forest green like her aura and a huge gust of wind picked up. As it did, her hair also began to change color from brown to lite silver.
"What the hell! I've never seen that before." said Daymond as he looked at Asuka's new transformed state.
Razen pulled himself up and was shocked at what he was seeing.
"Hey Day, what the hell is that?" he asked
"I don't know. If I had to guess, Asuka's feelings must have reached fever pitch and with all the pent up anger, her determination to never lose and the need to protect her friends, it must have triggered a new transformation." said Daymond
Asuka walked Yumi and the two looked at each other. They stared at each other for a moment before turning to face Daymond and Razen.
"Um Day, I don't like that look their giving us." said Razen with a hint of nervousness.
"I think we need to be careful. I've never seen exactly what Yumi is capable of in this form and this is my first time seeing Asuka in this state." said Daymond as he readied himself.
Asuka suddenly vanished and reappeared right in front of Razen. She went for a punch to the gut but he managed to catch it, however when he caught her hand a shockwave went through his back and caused him to lose his composure for a minute. Taking advantage of that, Asuka then preformed a reverse heel kick, catching him in the face and sending him to the ground. Before he could try to get up, Asuka grabbed his ankle and tossed him like a rag doll across the baseball court. She then disappeared again and reappeared behind Raze as he was still flying forward and stayed with him before giving him a powerful kick to the back, sending him into the air. Again she vanished and reappeared right above him, this time she created another green energy orb and launched it right into his chest, sending him rocketing towards the ground. The orb exploded once Raze made contact with the ground, kicking up dust everywhere as Asuka landed in front of her stunned seniors.
"Wow, Asuka..." said Katsuragi
"What is going on? How are you doing this?" asked Ikaruga only to receive no reply.
"Asuka san just took him down in a few seconds." said Hibari
Suddenly, razen busted out of the rubble he created from crashing to the ground, cover in scratches and dirt.
"What the hell! How is he even still standing after that?" questioned Katsuragi
'Wow, this is gonna be a bit tougher then I thought.' Thought Daymond before he sensed something in front of him
Turning his attention forward he came almost face to face with Yumi who stared at him with cold lite red eyes.
'This is not gonna be pretty.' he thought just before a large column of ice erupted right in his face.
-Yukinahara-
"Hmm, that wasn't too bad, but your speed is horrible." said Kirika
This was truly a fight that went in every direction. Yukinahara, Homura and Miyabi had basically gone into a three way free for all, with Yukinahara barely breaking a sweat while Homura and Miyabi were both starting to tire slightly. The rest of the factions had paired off with their counterparts and were holding up pretty well. Occasionally, they would stop fighting for a second to see how their respective leaders were fairing.
"Onee chan, it looks like Miyabi is having a bit of trouble over there." said Ryona
"I can see that but I'm kinda busy here." said Ryobi as she and Mirai exchanged gun fire.
"You all are too persistent for your own good." called Mirai
Imu and Hikage were too evenly matched to determine a winner. They broke yet another speed rush as they studied each other.
"Your pretty fast there you little snake." called Imu
"Same to you, junior." retorted Hikage
Just as they were about to resume their fight an explosion rocked the whole area. Kirika looked towards the source and was able to sense a sharp spike in both Yumi and Asuka's powers. Upon feeling it she smiled.
"Hmm looks like things are beginning to pick up."
"What do you mean? What the hecks going on over there?" demanded Homura
Kirika only giggled at her outburst. Now unable to control her anger, Homura put her hand on the seventh blade on her back.
"I'm through playing games with you. I'm ending this, right now." she proclaimed as she pulled the sword out.
A shock wave shook the area causing Miyabi to lose her balance slightly while Kirika merely smiled at Homura's transformation. Her eyes were now fire red along with her hair which was now flowing freely and she had a fiery aura around her as her swords levitated around her.
"Oh, Crimson mode if i recall. Funny, I have something similar to it." said Kirika as she drew Suzaku's Guidance and raised it to the sky.
Suddenly streams of fire came from six different directions as they enveloped Yukinahara's body. Seconds later, the flames dispersed to reveal kirika with an armor of pure fire on her and she had sprouted what looked like phoenix wings. Homura gave a slight gasp of surprise before regaining her composure. This was something she was not expecting. Just then another shockwave went through the area. Kirika and Homura turned towards Miyabi to see her cloaked in a black and purple aura.
"Hope you didn't forget about me." said Miyabi as she drew her sword which had also changed in appearance.
"well, looks like things should be more fun now." said Kirika with a smile.
Kirika then swung her blade three times as she did earlier. Homura however, knew what was coming this time and would have none of it. She swung her hand forward and three of her swords followed, going after Kirika. Seeing the incoming attack, Kirika stopped her's and jumped, or flew away from them as she stayed airborne.
"So those wings aren't just for show eh! Fine then, I'll just rip them off yah." said Homura as she launched several swords towards Kirika
"Samurai arts, first technique. Tempest!"
Using Seriyuu's sword, Kirika swung the blade and created a harsh force of wind that forced Homura's swords into random direction's, some of them just barely missing Imu and the others. Miyabi then tried her luck and was partially successful as she managed to get her to the ground. Homura then saw her chance and launched her flaming swords at both of them. Kirika saw it coming at the last second and shadow stepped out of there path. Miyabi wasn't quite so fortunate. She managed to dodge fatal blows but some of the blades still caught her in the right thigh, left hip, and just barely missed severing her left arm as she was able to block it with her flame enveloped hand.
"Ghg, your going to pay for that." said an enraged Miyabi.
"Last time I checked we weren't allies." retorted Homura
Suddenly Kirika appeared behind Homura and and grabbed her in a rear naked choke. She had to force her down since Homura was slightly taller then her but even in her crimson mode Homura could not break free and she couldn't use her swords since she was right on her.
"Your probably wondering why none of your fire attacks are working on me right! well let me explain. You see, this fire armor has the ability to negate, repel and absorb anything that is fire related, so basically no matter what kind of fire ninpo you use, I can absorb it." said Kirika
Kirika then sensed an incoming attack. Looking up from Homura she saw Miyabi had launched a black wave of energy from her sword. With a sadistic smile, she manhandled Homura and threw her right at the incoming attack.
'BAAAMMMM'
-cue xenosaga 3 ost godsibb-
"Oh dear, I think she might be done after that one." said Kirika before her eyes widened slightly in mild surprise.
Out of the smoke came Homura. She was slightly messed up and her clothes were all over the place, she was still in her crimson mode and now she looked pissed as hell. Suddenly the area began to quake as a tremendous amount of energy began to build up.
"HOMURA STOP, YOU CANT DO THAT HERE." shouted Haruka.
"Sorry, but I think its time for you to go to sleep." Kirika said as she flew into the air.
Homura and the rest of the girls looked up to see Kirika charging a great amount of energy that was making Murasaki tremble from the power she was feeling and Haruka's sensors were going haywire.
"Everyone...We have to run." said a desperate Murasaki
"That power she's gathering is off the scales. My sensors are going to overload at this rate." said Haruka as she tried to save her breaking robot.
"Everyone, take cover." ordered Imu
Kirika's wings suddenly grew to twice the size of what they were before as a golden orb of energy appeared in between her hands.
"Samurai art of fire final technique, Soaring Blaze blast!"
The attack was soo dazzling that the whole area turned completely white as the blast enveloped the field.
"There's...no time." said Miyabi with a slightly scared voice.
"HUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."
-Other side of the school-
Razen and Asuka were stuck in a dead lock that was actually causing the ground beneath them to rip apart while Yumi and Daymond were moving at high speeds trying to get the better of one another. Just as Daymond was going for Yumi again, he and everyone else were stopped in there tracks by a brilliant flash of light.
"What the!" stated Daymond
"BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMM'
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over towards the school building to see a thick cloud of smoke and traces of heat rising into the air. Daymond merely face palmed as he shook his head, knowing full well what had just happened.
"Yukinahara." Daymond saidunder his breath.
'Let me guess, Kirika decided to go for an overkill right?' thought Raze
'Seem's like it. I don't think the Hebijo elites or the Crimson squad will be waking up for a while.' replied Daymond
'Well, there really isn't any point in dragging this out any longer is there?' asked Raze
'Not really, I believe I've seen enough. Not to mention there are still no signs of the Yoma's appearing, plus the new wave girls and the Kiriya are on their way here now. We should end this, quick.' he replied
'Got it.'
In a sudden burst of speed and power, Raze got right in Asuka's face. Asuka tried to attack with her blades but Raze ducked under them and readied his attack.
"Hiten Mitsurugi, Kuzuryusen!"
Moving at god like speed, Razen unleashed a barrage of attacks at nine of Asuka's pressure points. Asuka stumbled forward but she somehow remained on her feet surprising the OverSeer slightly. Asuka's aura suddenly flared up as she dashed at Raze, leaving an impact crater behind her. Raze merely closed his eyes as he exchanged chain - destruction for blood slaugther. Once Asuka was close enough, opened his crimson eyes which were now shining.
"Sorry Asuka, but I'm ending this battle now." He said
"Hiten Mitsurugi style, Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki!"
There was a bright flash that lite up the area for a second followed by the sound of breaking metal. Everyone who was still concious besides Daymond had to cover their eyes. As the light vanished Ikaruga and and the Hanzo girls opened there eyes and gasped in horror at what they were seeing. Asuka was sailing through the air, pieces of her clothes flying in the wind and her swords completely destroyed.
"ASUKAAAA!" Screamed Ikaruga, Katsuragi and Hibari.
As Asuka fell to the ground, Raze jumped up and did a back flip in mid air as he caught the knocked out Asuka. Katsuragi tried to attack him but her injuries were wrose then she thought and she couldn't do much in her state. Ikaruga and Hibari weren't in much better condition.
"You are strong indeed Asuka, you truly are Hanzo's granddaughter." Razen said to himself and close to Asuka's ear, not a hundred percent sure if she could hear him.
Meanwhile, Daymond had taken complete control in his scuffle with Yumi. Yozakura jumped in to help her friend but as she tried to punch him he suddenly vanished. Yumi sensed him and tried to warn Yozakura but she wasn't quick enough. Daymond, with a form of Platinum energy built up in his left hand, appeared right over Yozakura who didn't even sense him As he brought his arm down.
'BAM'
'BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM'
Yozakura took a shot right to the back of the head, knocking her out before she even hit the ground, which employed from the force of Daymonds hit. Shiki and Murakumo, who was still recovering from the Heat Viper attack, went to try and subdue the OverSeer but once they got right on him Daymond caught Murakumo's cleaver and Shiki's scythe.
"Impossible!" said a stunned Shiki
"What is he?" Questioned a very nervous Murakumo who had lost her composure through her mask.
"It's over, Destroy Force Down!" Said Daymond
With a thunderous bang, a platinum orb of energy surrounded the three of them and began sending out pulses of energy.
"Huwaaaaaa." Shiki and Murakumo screamed.
The orb dispersed to reveal the beaten, unconscious figures of Shiki and Murakumo, who's mask had completely broken. Minori looked on in horror at what had just happened. Yumi gritted her teeth as her aura flared up. she then formed a large ice blade in mid air and launched it at Daymond. The OverSeer merely smirked as he pulled Shadow's Innocence over his head.
"Empty sky form, Summer's Advance!"
Daymond swung his sword downwards and sent a wave of energy straight at Yumi. The energy completely shattered Yumi's ice, surprising her before the energy collided into her. She didn't make a sound as the energy began to basically drain her. The energy soon dispersed and her eyes rolled into the back of her head as she fell to her knees then into her face. Minori quickly ran towards her fallen sempai as Daymond watched. Minori looked up at the OverSeer with a glare as he walked them. She tried to get up to fight back but she was still too injured from the attack from earlier.
-end ost-
"You have nothing to fear, we are finished here." he said as he gave Minori the stuffed bear she lost in the fight.
Slightly confused, she took the bear and watched as he knelled down just above Yumi and spoke something in such a low tone she couldn't hear him. Once he was finished he turned towards Razen, who still had Asuka in his arms.
"Raze, were done here. Inform Kirika and let's go." he said
Raze looked at him before softly putting Asuka on the ground and with a nod of his head he disappeared in an aura of crimson flames. Daymond then put his hand on the Yumi's back and a green aura shroided her for a moment before it vanished.
"She'll be fine after a good rest." he said to Minori
Jist as he was about to follow suite with what Razen did, Ikaruga stopped him
"Wait, what was your objective?" she questioned
"Not was, Is, and that is for another time. We will meet again however, I suggest you all do some training before hand. You are all strong, but can become much stronger. Also, understand this Ikaruga, we are not your enemies. Nor do we have the desire to be your enemies." he finished before he to disappeared.
"..." Ikaruga went silent as she looked at the carnage that was done.
"Well, that's a fight I never wanna go through again." said Katsuragi as she pulled herself up.
As the remaining girls who were still up and able to move went to help everyone else, Daymonds last words stayed in Ikaruga's mind.
'What is it that they are after?' she thought.
And done. the fight is now over and the results, the thrashing of Hanzo, Gessen, Hebijo and the crimson squad factions. To Homura and Miyabi fans, sorry about Kirika. She committed a serious abuse of overkill here but don't worry, they are still alive, just beat up. As fir what Daymond said to Yumi, well tha5 will be revealed later. Until next time, Daymond Sanctum, OverSeer of the Platinum Sanctum signing out.
