Alright, here is chapter 15 with the long awaited battle of Ash vs Cinder. Real quick before anything happens, look up 'It Has to Be This Way', and play it when I say so, anyway let's begin. I own nothing except my ideas and OC's.
Ash walked to the Arena, his face calm as he walked to his spot, he knew he would be fighting Cinder immediately, so he better be prepared. He looked at the screen, waiting.
Ruby cheered alongside her team and the others, each excited to see Ash win this.
"And let us see who our next matchup is"! Port announces, causing Ash to mentally wince, knowing that the fights have been rigged from the start. The screen spun before it landed on two people.
Ash Ketchum vs Cinder Fall.
"And here are our combatants! Ash Ketchum going into the arena once again"! Port cheers, the crowd with him.
The rest of the combatants left, Pyrrha and Sun giving Ash a look of good luck before walking off.
Ash grabbed Celestial's Will by its sheath and dismissed it, getting shocked gasps from the crowd.
"I'm not going to use my sword to fight you". Ash began before flames ignited in his palms. "I'm doing this one on one". He finishes.
Cinder smirked, her eyes glowing as flames showed on her palms.
The arena was fitting for their fight, a lava and fire setting.
"Like my little idea"? Ash asks with a smirk.
Cinder smiled sinisterly. "Yes, you gave me MORE power"! She shouts before holding her hand up.
Cue, It Has To Be This Way from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. (P.S. Don't read it in sync with the music, its just for immersion.)
Lava erupted from the volcanoes as she tapped into their power. Only for Ash to do the same on his side, causing lava to bend to his will, surprisingly...he had better control. Cinder growled and had the lava attack him. Ash threw his hands forward, the lava surging forward and going into the form of a Dragon, which let out a gutheral roar and 'bit' the lava Cinder controlled, destroying both.
Standing here
I realize
You are just like me
Trying to make history
Ash dashed through the lava, his hands filled with fire as he teleported through. Cinder brought her hand up and swung a fiery palm at Ash, which he ducked under. Ash threw a fireball at point blank, which Cinder narrowly dodged, the two danced inside the lava, shooting fire back and forth with their limitless power.
"Do...you see them"? Weiss asks.
"No". Came Blake's response.
But who's to judge
The right from wrong
When our guard is down
I think we'll both agree
True to Blake's words, the entire arena was up in flames, the only way they knew they were fighting is the grunts and shouts of their conflict.
Ash and Cinder both unleashed a point blank torrent of flame at each other, causing a vortex of fire to erupt, swirling around them angrily.
"This is a fight to remember folks! These two have utilized their power over fire to the maximum"! Oobleck cheers, the arena joining him.
Xhas walked through the hall once more, his Keyblade held in his grip tightly, he walked to Amber and stared, before muttering one thing.
"I'm sorry".
Xhas reeled his Keyblade back, before thrusting it forward.
Ash was about to go in again when he felt something, a wide smirk going onto his face.
"What"? Cinder asks, slightly worried.
"One Minute...One Minute then this goes to the extreme". Ash mutters with a smirk.
Cinder realized what he meant and smirked, before her hands ignited and charged at him, Ash returning it, a wide grin on his face.
That violence breeds violence
But in the end it has to be this way
The two clashed, fire surging behind them as they pushed, Ash and Cinder gritted their teeth as they pushed. Before separating with an explosion following their separation. Ash leapt up and flung a huge fireball at Cinder, who held her index finger out and caused it to implode on itself. Ash leapt through the remains of the fireball and unleashed a huge monstrosity of a flame attack, incinerating part of the arena, and if it wasn't for the shield, the audience.
Ash stood back as Cinder got up, parts of her clothing burned, and Aura low, not that it matters anymore. She glared at Ash with all she had, which he returned with a stare only a Veteran of War could make.
Ash smirked. "Times up".
Ironwood's eyes widened when an alert came up on his scroll, Amber had passed away.
Ozpin lost his composure. "Ash...what are you doing"?!
Qrow stared, pretty sure that Ash had doomed them all.
Cinder felt a power surge into her, a power that she never expected. Her grin went to maniacal as she surged with immense fire, the flames licking at her fingertips. The fire all coming to her and being absorbed into her body, causing her to glow like the sun!
Ash watched her celebrate her victory. "Now then...let's END this"! Ash announces.
Cinder turns to him, a grin on her face. "Let's". She agrees.
Ash held his hands out, a blue chain of some sort appearing, he grunted for a second before snapping it in two, a loud 'snap!' echoing across the arena. Ash roared as the reservoir of power hidden under his World Lock was released. A powerful blue Aura erupting from him, and surging as it was unleashed. Ash's eyes glowed a bright blue as he roared mightily, becoming the Warrior he is.
I've carved my own path
You followed your wrath
But maybe we're both the same
Ash let out a shout of power as he accessed his Awakened Xuen form. Xuen letting out a mighty roar to announce his presence.
Cinder wasn't intimidated, she had the Maiden of Autumn on her side!
Ash finally appeared as his surging Aura died down, showing him in his Xuen form.
Cinder's eyes ignited with Fire as she flew up.
Ash flew up as well, a storm brewing above them.
Garnet and Ember both added their power to the shield surrounding the audience...just in case.
The world has turned
And so many have burned
But nobody is to blame
Ash roared and charged at Cinder, who unleashed an immense amount of fire at Ash, which he powered through and punched her hard, a shockwave following. Cinder formed leaves and froze them, turning them into sharpened knives, which she threw at Ash, by the thousands! Ash reeled his fists back, which glowed blue. He thrusted them forward, punching at a lightning fast rate to destroy the leaves that attacked him, the leftovers piling underneath him as he destroyed them. Ash surged forward, the storm unleashing a lightning bolt to assist him, which caused him to ram into Cinder at intense speeds, before unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks at her, the wind contorting at his attacks.
Cinder unleashed a Tornado level wind and blasted him back, before firing everything in her arsenal at him, lightning, Fire, Ice, wind, EVERYTHING! All of it hit Ash which caused an explosion of intense proportions and shook the foundations of Vale itself!
"Ash"! All of the spectators on his side shouted.
Cinder smirked as the smoke died down, showing Ash floating weakly, cuts and gashes all over his body. She floated forward and cupped Ash's chin, forcing him to look at her. "You have lost". She mutters.
Ash's eyes were blank, before they surged to life. He punched Cinder in the gut, his eyes glowing blue as he accessed the most powerful attack in his arsenal. He roared as Xuen appeared behind him in an astral image, before charging, his body surging with Celestial Power. Cinder had time to widen her eyes before Ash hit her in the stomach, and unleashed everything he had, a barrage of punches and kicks, added with Lightning surging at her, Fire hitting her every time his fists did, and Ice freezing her joints from the inside out.
Yet staring across this barren wasted land
I feel new life will be born
Beneath the blood stained sand
Ash kicked her away before holding his hands up and unleashing the most powerful Thunder Storm he has ever done, the Sky breaking apart as the storm of lightning hit Cinder, who screamed in pain as the attack tore her apart, the surroundings illuminated as he unleashed all he had.
BENEATH THE BLOOD STAINED SAND!
Ash finished the attack, going back into his base form, as Cinder fell and collapsed on the ground, dead...he didn't know. He sighed and fell over as Ozpin and Qrow ran over and apprehended her, making sure to cuff her with power inhibitors. He smiled before everything went dark.
End.
WOOO! What do you think? Funny enough I had the fight already written out since 2 weeks ago, I was hyped on the song used above, and synced it with this scene, I hope you like it. And yes, Xhas had to kill Amber, a grisly task. R&R This is Oathkeeper0317 signing out.
