Hello, everyone! Here is the second chapter of Food Wars! Warriors! Facing off against the mysterious Dark Circle, our heroes must fight with everything they've got! Read and enjoy!


Chapter 2 - Fierce Battles!


Soma and Erina were forced to defend themselves from Sebastian, whose sword skills were lightning fast that had them on their heels.

The two kept trying to block the best they can, but the White King was far stronger than they anticipated.

"Such weak skill! Disappointing!" Sebastian hollered, slashing them together with Soma crossing his arms to protect himself and Erina.

The two were sent flying to a nearby rock, but managed to recover fast.

"Man, that hurt." Soma said, shaking his arms.

"We need to be careful. Just follow my lead." Erina said.

"If this were a cooking battle, I'd say to do it my way." Soma explained.

"But right now, why don't we do it on our own terms to throw him off his game." Soma added.

"Well, guess you do think of something." Erina commented, in a sarcastic manner.

Soma chuckled as they get ready to face Sebastian, charging straight towards them.

Takumi rode his horse and initiated a jousting duel against Shiro with their lances forward at full speed.

"Knight's Thrust!" Takumi shouted.

"Lightning Lance!" Shiro shouted.

Takumi and Shiro clashed equally with neither sustaining injuries; in truth, the tips of their lances collided, forcing the two and their horses back hard.

Megumi wanted to help and opened her tome, revealing a blue aura.

"Water Blast!" Megumi shouted, shooting a strong blast of water at Shiro, who easily slashed through it.

But that gave Mimasaka the opportunity to strike once the water was cleared.

"Titan Knuckle!" Mimasaka shouted, punching Shiro off his horse really hard into the tree.

Takumi, Megumi and Mimasaka regrouped to prepare themselves.

Shiro emerged with a small injury, still standing tall.

"Damn. He's strong." Mimasaka said.

"But… we can't give up!" Megumi hollered.

Takumi smiled and nodded. "True to that."

Adios swung his hammer to the ground, releasing an intense shockwave that Isshiki and Megishima managed to escape in time.

They then charged together and attempted a dual attack with katana and axe, but Adios easily blocked both of them with his hammer.

"How utterly pathetic." Adios said, pushing the two back.

"Allow me to put you two out of your misery!" Adios hollered.

"Grand Tremor!" Adios shouted, slamming the ground extremely hard with his hammer that produced an even stronger shockwave that hit Isshiki and Megishima head on.

Adios laughed at his victory from the cloud of smoke.

"You idiots never had a chance! Just like your copies!" Adios hollered.

"Really. Is that all?" Megishima asked, completely shocking Adios.

The smoke cleared enough to see both Isshiki (plus his horse) and Megishima standing strong and taking little damage.

"How?! How are you two still alive?!" Adios exclaimed.

"You don't need to know that, punk." Megishima said.

"Unfortanetly for you, we can't go down to someone who fights only out of hate." Isshiki said, showing a serious face.

Adios felt a strange sense of fear, couldn't even move an inch.

"It seems you were full of yourself thinking you've won. But the moment you saw us unharmed, your heart wavered." Isshiki explained.

Adios still couldn't move a muscle.

"Elephant Strike!" Megishima shouted, delivering a powerful axe slash that scored a heavy blow to Adios, shattering his armor.

Isshiki jumped off his charging horse and drew his katana instead.

"Singing… Lion!" Isshiki shouted, performing an Iaido technique faster than the eye can see and delivered a finishing blow to Adios, easily defeating him.

"That was rather disappointing." Megishima said.

"Heh. You are inspirational with your words." Isshiki commented, before joining up with his horse.

"It wasn't inspirational." Megishima said.

Merlin and Morgan were clashing intensely with blasts of many kinds of magic, causing collateral damage to their surrounding area.

"Deadly Bombardment!" Morgan shouted, firing an array of dark blasts at Merlin.

"Wave Rebound!" Merlin shouted, conjuring a different shield to deflect the attacks and send them right back at Morgan.

The dark sorceress dodged them all and fired a pair of dark chains to grab Merlin's feet.

Merlin quickly dodged again.

"Seems one of your Circle has fallen." Merlin said.

"Please. Adios may be the Rook, but he was always the weakest." Morgan explained.

"Don't think this will go with the other four battles." Morgan continued, giving a wicked grin.

"Rock Golems!" Yurgen shouted, summoning multiple rock-like figures to fight as his soldiers.

"Like that'll stop me!" Ryo hollered, charging forward without mercy.

"Stay focused, Ryo! We can't let our guard down around this guy!" Alice hollered, only for her pleas to fall deaf ears.

"Shark Fang Slash!" Ryo shouted, cleaving through several golems in half.

A few attempted to attack Ryo from behind.

"Fire Stream!" Alice shouted, shooting a blast of fire from her tome at more golems with heat so intense they shattered.

"I had that!" Ryo hollered.

Alice sighed. She knew Ryo would handle things on his own, but now there's this nagging feeling that won't go away.

Suddenly, Yurgen was right behind Ryo.

"You let your guard down." Yurgen said.

"RYO!" Alice shouted, kicking the sides of her horse to race at intense speed.

"Rock Storm!" Yurgen shouted, creating what appears to be a tornado of rocks that blew Ryo, Alice and her horse high up before crashing down hard.

Takumi, Megumi and Mimasaka were now getting knocked around by Shiro.

"A shame if this is all you have." Shiro said.

"Dammit…" Takumi thought.

Akira blocked both swords from Alexandra from his lance to try and keep her in place. Kuga immediately jump from behind to back up his junior.

"Have a taste of my Dragon Strike!" Kuga shouted, delivering a barrage of kicks that began to annoy Alexandra before quickly jumping back.

"Ha! Knew watching those kung fu movies come in handy!" Kuga hollered.

Alexandra growled and attempted to slash Kuga, but he managed to dodge in time.

"Arato! With me!" Akira hollered.

Hisako didn't need to say anything and decided to comply by following Akira.

"Fierce Dance!" Akira shouted.

"Dusk Slash!" Hisako shouted.

Akira and Hisako combined their attacks on Alexandra to do some damage, but it only made her angrier.

"Dammit!" Akira hollered.

"You brats have done it now!" Alexandra hollered.

"That's not good!" Kuga hollered.

"Guys, get back!" Hisako hollered.

"Stampede Storm!" Alexandra shouted, attacking with her horse and swords at rapid high-speeds, delivering devastating blows to Akira, Hisako and Kuga.

XXX

"Super Hammer Fist!" Soma shouted.

"Noble Blade!" Erina shouted.

Soma and Erina combined their attacks to give Sebastian a beating. But it still wasn't enough.

"No matter how hard you both try, you're just mere humans who don't have the strength to fight alone." Sebastian said.

"And allow me to prove your arrogance!" Sebastian hollered.

"King's Blade!" Sebastian shouted, performing a very powerful dark slash.

Soma and Erina didn't have time to react as they were hit dead on and into the water, creating a big explosion.

XXX

Merlin was suddenly on his knees, courtesy of Morgan.

"Face it, fool. They're going to die again." Morgan said.

Merlin chuckled, which surprised Morgan.

"You find their defeat funny?" Morgan asked.

"No. I'm afraid that you severely underestimate these children." Merlin replied.

"What?" Morgan asked.

"They have something your Dark Circle will never have." Merlin replied.

In each area, Sebastian, Yurgen, Shiro and Alexandra revel in their victories from the smoke of their defeated opponents.

But then… one by one, Soma, Erina, Takumi, Megumi, Mimasaka, Akira, Hisako, Kuga, Ryo and Alice stood up despite their wounds, showing a fierce determination in their eyes and a burning will in their hearts.

Sebastian, Yurgen, Shiro and Alexandra were completely shocked.

"They have the power of teamwork." Merlin explained.

Soma and his friends each start to charge at their respective opponents once more.
