SailorStar9: Chapter 5 goes up and no review. You guys don't love me anymore. *Wails*
Disclaimers: I don't own Sailor Moon and Flame of Recca since if I did own them both, the Planetary Senshi will have equal footing as Sailor Moon and the Domon/Fuuko pairing would be canon. But you don't see that happening do you? However, I do own the pairing, I hope.
Chapter 6: Temptation of the Beautiful Women. The Deadly Duo!
On the ring side...
"Hey, both of you!" Fuuko chided, coming between the two.
Mikagami ignored her and stepped into the ring.
"It's my turn." the swordsman remarked.
"I'm sorry, onee-sama..." Aki apologized. "I..."
"Just rest for now." Neon told her. "I will avenge you."
"Miki." she told her other sister.
"Yes." Miki replied.
"We're going to crush the Hokage." Neon added."With our ultimate attack as our trump card."
"Yes." Miki replied.
"Wow, what brings both Oto members into the ring?" Nemi gasped. "What are they planning?"
"Nemi, what are you doing?" Tatsuko complained.
"Announcing!" Nemi beamed from the sidelines. "Tatsuko, you just judge the match. Good luck!"
"Having fun all on your own..." Tatsuko growled.
"I've cordially invited the madōgu expert, Kagerō-san, to the commentary table." Nemi added, pulling Kagerō to the table. "Say 'Hi' to everybody."
"Hello." Kagerō replied, taking her seat.
In the ring...
"Hanabishi Recca!" Neon declared. "Why don't we end this with the next match? Miki and me against you and Mikagami Tokiya. A doubles bout."
"Huh... double bed?" Recca mistranslated.
At the commentary table...
"Hanabishi seems to be confused." Nemi declared. "A doubles bout means to two-on-two fighting!"
In the ring...
"Oh, I see..." Recca remarked.
At the commentary table...
"Recca, I really wish you would study English more..." Kagerō sighed.
In the ring...
"I have no interest in wasting time." Neon remarked. "The winner of the next match will advance. If it ends in a draw, you'll still win, since you've already won once."
"But why Mikagami and I?" Recca asked.
"Because you two are the Hokage's No. 1 and No. 2, aren't you?" Neon challenged.
"You're kidding right?" Recca retorted. "I may be No. 1, but Mikagami is probably around No. 100."
"Sorry, but I prefer to fight alone." Mikagami added. "I don't plan on entering the ring with this idiot."
"Who's the idiot?" Recca snapped.
"What's wrong with calling an idiot an idiot?" Mikagami shot back.
"What?" Recca growled.
"There they go again." Anhara sighed.
On the stands...
"This is bad..." Saichō remarked. "At first, it was just a difference of opinion about Domon-san. Now they're at each other's throats.
"Recca and Mikagami have completely opposite fighting styles as well as personalities." Kukai noted. "Once they disagree, they'll refuse to work together."
In the ring...
"So, you choose not to accept my challenge." Neon remarked. "Oh, I get it. Even if you were to lose this match, your fourth fighter, Fuuko-san, will win by default. Worst case scenario: you can force a 2-2 draw. I guess it just goes to show how petty men can be."
"I'll leave it to you, Miki." she told her younger sister. "Don't expect too much from them though... against these small-minded men."
"Yes, Neon-sama." Miki replied.
"WAIT A MINUTE!" Recca hollered.
Jumping into the ring, he added, "You're not gonna stand there and trash talk us like that! Who cares if it's a doubles bout or a double hamburger! Let's get it on!"
"Don't enter the ring without my permission, Hanabishi." Mikagami retorted.
"Then, I'll take them both on, myself." Recca remarked. "Don't even try to get in my way!"
"I believe that's my line." Mikagami added. "If you refuse to leave the ring, then don't interfere. I don't need you dragging me down."
"You can't tell me what to do." Recca shot back.
"Will you two just stop this for once!?" Anhara snapped, giving the two males a death glare each. "Your opponents are them, not each other, idiots! If you want to fight, just settle this after the match!"
Sighing, she added, "Look, there must be a reason why Neon requested a doubles bout. So, just put down your fricking pride and work together, okay?"
"Men..." she muttered. "It's times like this, I wonder why do I have to put up with him?"
"Oh, I think Team Hokage has just accepted this double bout." Nemi remarked.
In the ring...
"Assuming both teams agree..." Tatsuko declared. "This match will be a two-on-two double bout. For the Uruha Oto, the team of Neon and Miki. For the Hokage, Hanabishi and Mikagami."
On the ring side...
"Oh no! They won't even look at each other!" Kondo remarked.
"This isn't the time to be fighting." Ganko agreed.
"Really, those two are blockheads." Anhara mumbled.
"Recca-kun..." Yanagi muttered. "Mikagami-sempai..."
In the ring...
"And now, the tournament's first double bout is about to start." Tatsuko announced.
"Listen, don't do anything!" Mikagami warned.
"Shut up!" Recca retorted. "I'm not taking orders from you."
"Begin!" Tatsuko started the match.
"Miki." Neon turned to her sister.
"Yes." Miki replied, dashing forward and activating her madōgu.
In the commentary table...
"Fast..." Nemi gasped as Miki sped past her.
"That's..." Kagerō noted. "The madōgu, Idaten. When placed on her legs, she can move like the wind."
In the ring...
"Miki the Idaten will be your opponent." Miki declared.
Stopping before Recca, she smiled at the flame wielder.
"Don't underestimate me, damnit!" Recca spat, throwing a punch at her, Miki dodging the attack easily.
Aside, Neon started playing her flute.
"Prelude!" she declared. "Invitation to Hell!"
Raising her flute before her, she released the charged up wave at the two teens.
Recca and Mikagami leapt aside, each landing on the same side of the demolished ring.
"Stop getting in my way, dumbass!" Recca hollered, knocking into the ice wielder.
"You ran into me, moron!" Mikagami retorted, pushing Recca aside.
In the stands...
"Did you see that, Saichō?" Kukai asked.
"After playing a few notes from her flute, the ring was destroyed." Saichō remarked.
On the ring side...
"Why?" Domon was confused.
"How could the ring blow up from her playing the flute?" Fuuko blinked.
In the commentary table...
"Her madōgu is called Fukyou Woan." Kagerō supplied. "The notes create vibrations in the air. Focusing these vibrations with her madōgu, she can destroy her target."
In the stands...
"A sound wave attack." Saichō realized.
"I see why she was chosen as one of the Jyushinshu." Kukai added. "She uses a formidable technique."
In the ring...
"You better not interfere, Mikagami." Recca remarked. "I've got these two."
"Don't act so tough." Mikagami retorted. "Go sit quietly in the corner!"
"Saiha!" Recca summoned his flames.
"Surprise attacks like that aren't going to work anymore!" he added, charging at Neon.
Neon met his flame blade with her flute.
"Miki!" Neon told her sister.
"Yes, Neon-sama." Miki replied, jumping up to commence the attack.
"Quartet!" Neon fired her energy wave at Miki after knocking Recca off her.
On the ring side...
"That was horrible!" Domon remarked. "What are you aiming for?"
"Wrong!" Fuuko corrected. "Look over there!"
In the ring...
"Yamabiko!" Miki declared, forming a shield with the madōgu on her wrist. Catching Neon's wave, she reflected it at Recca.
"What?" the flame caster gasped, the reverberated wave knocking him to the ground.
On the ring side...
"Recca!" Fuuko gasped. "How did she do that?"
In the commentary table...
"The madōgu, Yamabiko." Kagerō remarked. "It can reflect sound like a mirror."
In the ring...
"With Miki's speed, my attacks will always find their target." Neon replied. "This is the other reason why I wanted a double bout. Because we're strongest when we're together."
"Looks like Kimura was right." Mikagami remarked, attacking Miki. "Then, I'll just have to break... that precious little mirror!"
"Ciao!" Miki grinned, avoiding Mikagami's attacks.
"That face of yours is so pretty." she appeared before the ice wielder. "You want to kiss? Well, too bad. My lips, my face, body and heart... they all belong to Neon-sama alone."
Mikagami growled and attacked her. Miki simply chuckled as she leapt beside Neon who played her flute again and reflected the sound wave Neon generated to the swordsman.
"Ciao!" Miki grinned.
"What the hell are you doing, Mikagami!" Recca retorted, the two knocking into each other. "You're supposed to be the quick one, right?"
"Shut up!" Mikagami snapped. "It's because someone in the ring is getting in my way!"
"Same here! It's you that's getting in the way!" Recca shot back.
At the commentary table...
"Things aren't looking good for Team Hokage." Demi declared. "Are those two having a falling out?"
On the ring side...
"Guys, what are you doing?" Kondo exclaimed.
"Your enemies are over there!" Ganko fumed.
In the ring...
Recca and Mikagami frowned as Neon played a different tune.
At the commentary table...
"These notes sound differently from the last ones." Kagerō remarked. "This must be an even more powerful attack..."
In the ring...
"Rhapsody!" Neon declared, sending two combined transparent sound bubbles crashing into the ring. The two males, caught in the shockwave, were knocked to the ground by the falling debris. A piece of slab fell on Recca's stomach, knocking the flame wielder unconscious as Mikagami's arm was trapped under a slab.
"Rhapsody, second verse!" Neon announced. "Beneath chilling tombstones!"
Playing her flute, the soundwaves cracked the roof, sending the debris tumbling towards the two.
"This ring shall become your graves!" Neon declared.
"I can't move..." Recca growled.
In the stands...
"Oh no, he won't be able to dodge them all!" Kukai remarked.
On the ring side...
"No!" Yanagi screamed.
In the ring...
Recca looked on as the rock fell on them when suddenly, the debris crumbled.
"What on earth just happened?" Tatsuko gasped. "Somehow, those rocks exploded all of a sudden."
"Why?" Neon was shocked.
"Kimura? Domon?" Recca blinked as the Assassin leapt out of the smoke, having saved the two from dying with Domon's aid.
"Really, why am I always the one saving both your asses?" Anhara retorted, the two blue wings appearing on her heels.
In the stands...
"That young lady and young man saved them both." Kukai noted, realizing what Anhara had done. Having activated her madōgu, she had used its secondary ability that allowed her to flutter in the sky like a butterfly, and hit the ground with a force stronger than steel to smash the rocks as Domon punched through the rest with his fist. "Their hidden potential is frightening."
In the ring...
"Kimura... Domon..." Recca looked at the Assassin. "Thank you... you saved us."
Domon growled and gave the fire wielder a punch across the face.
"Hara?" Mikagami blinked at her as the fuming girl approached him, knocking him down with a punch across the face.
"Birdbrains!" Anhara hollered. "Have you two idiots thought of the consequences?"
"Or are your damn prides more important than Yanagi-san!?" she snapped.
"Hanabishi," she turned a cold glare at the fire wielder. "If you can't answer that, then you have no right to be Yanagi-san's Senshi."
"Keep that in mind." she warned.
"Ishijima, knock some sense into these two." she retorted. "I'm not wasting my fricking breath on them."
With that, she leapt out of the gaping hole.
"I'm ashamed..." Domon remarked.
"What did you say?" Recca demanded. "If this loser wasn't in my way, I would have won already."
"That's exactly how I feel!" Mikagami retorted.
"Not you." Domon replied. "I'm the one who's ashamed!"
"Domon?" Recca was confused.
"I'm the reason you two started fighting, right?" Domon added. "Mikagami, who was thinking about my future, tried to stop my fight. Hanabishi, who was also thinking about my future, wanted to let me keep fighting until the very end."
"I was the one..." he hissed. "Who caused you both to worry so much. I feel so ashamed!"
"I'll get stronger!" he promised. "More, much more than now!"
"So, please make this the last argument that starts because of me." he requested. "Okay?"
"You bastard! Don't do any unnecessary!" the crowd hollered. "You idiot! He better be disqualified! Disqualified!"
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Domon hollered. "I could care less what happens to me!"
"Even if my win get disqualified, if you two get a clear K.O, our team will win." he turned to the two.
"But you worked so hard to win your match today..." Recca pointed out.
"We might look at things differently, but we all have the same goal." Domon reminded him. "Kimura said it too; Yanagi is our main priority. Let's trust in each other more... that's what friends do."
With that, he exited.
"He says such sentimental things..." Recca remarked.
"Domon..." Mikagami muttered.
"Domon's win is now void due to his interference with the ongoing match." Tatsuko declared.
"Eh?" Domon blinked. "Really?"
"Yes, it is." Tatsuko replied.
"So..." Domon started and screamed as the result of the first match was voided.
"You were prepared for that and saved them anyway, right?" Fuuko pointed out.
"Of course..." Domon replied. "Who cares about one little win..."
"Now, let's begin this match again." Tatsuko declared after everything was settled. "Hanabishi and Mikagami have just returned to the ring. However, their situation seems very dire."
"Your friends and their kinds words will not save you." Neon remarked.
"I will be the one to end your lives now." Miki added.
"Ciao!" she grinned, jumping into between the two males.
"Quartet!" Neon followed up by her wave attack.
"Yamabiko!" Miki jumped into the air to meet the wave, reflecting the energy at Mikagami who jumped to avoid the blast, Recca doing to same seconds later. The ice wielder then attacked Miki as Recca dashed to face off with Neon.
"Quartet!" Neon fired her attack at the charging flame wielder.
"Saiha!" Recca summoned his fire blade. "En Jin!"
"Neon-sama!" Miki ran to aid her sister, only to be stopped by Mikagami.
"I'm your opponent!" the swordsman reminded her.
Miki leapt aside, chuckling as she started running circles around the ice wielder.
"Right there!" Mikagami declared, using his ice sword to strike at Miki's Yamabiko madōgu.
In the stands...
"They were at each other's throats just a little while ago." Kukai noted.
"But deep down, it seems they have respect for each other." Saichō added.
On the ring side...
"Good luck, Recca-kun... Mikagami-sempai." Yanagi prayed.
In the ring...
Recca faced off against Neon, attacking her with his solidified fire blade as the older woman defended with her flute.
"Quartet!" Neon fired her wave attack at the fire wielder who jumped aside.
"Yamabiko!" Miki wasted no time in following their combo move.
"Mikagami!" Recca gasped, the reflected energy having hit the swordsman. Turning back to the attacking Neon, he blocked her attack with his flame blade as Miki went after the ice wielder.
"Nadare!" Recca summoned a second fire dragon.
"What kind of bluff is this?" Neon demanded. "I know for a fact that you cannot summon another flame while one is being used."
"Nadare!" Recca ignored her. "Dan En!"
"What?" Neon gasped as fireballs emerged from Recca's wrist.
"It came out!?" Recca was surprised, before firing the horde of flame balls at Miki.
"Why?" Neon was shocked after Recca's attack knocked Miki to the ground, Mikagami having retrieved his weapon. "I thought you weren't able to summon two flames at once?"
In the commentary table...
"Recca..." Kagerō was too stunned.
On the ring side...
"Those two... they're becoming more and more in sync." Fuuko noted as the pair approached Neon.
You've finally understood, Tokiya. Anhara let out a small smile.
In the ring...
"Don't get so cocky, you bugs!" Neon fumed. "Take this blast of sound!"
"Fugue!" she released her wave attack.
She's going after me? Mikagami mused as the energy bullets headed towards him, before converging into one large ball. Recca placed himself before the ice wielder, taking on the attack.
On the ring side...
"Hanabishi?" Domon gasped.
In the ring...
"Are you alright. Hanabishi?" Mikagami looked at his fallen teammate.
"Ouch..." I'm fine." Recca sat back up. "This is my punishment for my previous stupidity. Not for you."
"It's to win!" the two chorused. Smirking, they gave each other a slap on the hand.
On the ring side...
"Alright!" Domon whooped after seeing the two make up.
"Was about time." Anhara remarked.
In the ring...
""Here we come, Neon." Recca declared. "Time for our counterattack!"
Behind them, Miki had gotten to her feet and was rushing towards the two.
"Gotcha!" Recca dodged Miki's attack, grabbing her by the crook of her arm when she went past him.
"Miki!?" Neon was shocked after Recca swung Miki into Mikagami, the ice swordsman knocking her in the stomach with the end of his blade.
"If she's quick, then okay... we'll just have to be quicker." Recca remarked.
"Your jokes need more improvement then your poetry." Mikagami retorted.
"Miki..." Neon hurried to her sister's side.
"Damn you..." she growled.
"Prelude!" she fired her energy attack at the charging males.
He dodged it so easily? She was stunned when Mikagami jumped o avoid the blast.
"Rhapsody!" she fired another attack, Mikagami jumping to dodge the energy wave.
How? Neon was shocked.
"I've seen through all your techniques." Mikagami told her. "They cannot work on my anymore."
At Neon's stunned expression, he explained, "Prelude is a focused wave that slices your target. Rhapsody is a mass of sound designed to explode like a bomb. Quartet is your tag-team move. And fugue is a blast of noise. Did I miss anything?"
Only after... Neon was shocked. After only witnessing them a few times... he's already seen through them? I can't... I have greatly underestimated them.
"Neon-sama..." Miki muttered. "Why don't we give up? We can't win anymore...
On the ring side...
"This match is over." Domon concluded.
"Yeah." Fuuko agreed. "Those two are unbeatable now."
In the ring...
"Go ahead and give up now, Neon." Recca advised.
"Give up?" Neon echoed. "Don't make me laugh. I am Neon, one of the Jyushinshu. No matter what happens, I will not give up!"
"What the..." Recca gasped as Neon's madōgu orb glowed brightly.
"If I allow you to live,." Neon added. "You'll cause grief to Kurei-sama. The seed of grief must be eliminated early. Even at the cost of my life."
"Neon-sama!?" Miki gasped, realized what Neon had intended to do.
"Please don't!" Aki begged. "Don't use that attack!"
"Protecting Kurei-sama is my mission as one of he Jyushinshu." Neon declared.
At the commentary table...
"Oh no! Is that technique...!?" Kagerō gasped in realization.
In the ring...
"This'll be my final attack..." Neon announced. "I will breathe my life into my madōgu, and blow away the arena."
On the ring side...
"What?" Domon was shocked.
In the ring...
"It can't be!" Recca was stunned.
"All that is pure, to lead it to death..." Neon chanted. "Requiem!"
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
