Chapter 5 spirit of lightning vs. Kage the marauder

"So you have decided to show yourself spirit of lightning."

"How dare you address me so lightly as if you have not caused harm to one of your comrades!? You will pay for your crimes towards princess! Repent!"

Takamiya Daetra (Shido) slashed down with Raiha emitting a row of lighting strikes.

Kage drew Draconicus grinning blade in hand.

"Thank you for your spiritual energy you fool!"

However, as he attempted to absorb the tremendous lighting bolt the overwhelming spiritual energy effortlessly forced through the once feared blade's defence sending volts of lighting through Kage's body.

"You dare try to consume my power? Are you mocking me!?" replied Daetra as he sheathed his blade.

"Damn you! This battle has just begun!" In a blinding fury, Kage infused his spiritual power through his arms as he approached the golden aura emitting spirit.

Tohka mustered all of her leftover strength to stand up but soon found herself falling again from exhaustion.

"Princess please stay back you're in no condition to fight. Rest here."

"Are you Shido?" tohka questioned gazing into his golden pupils."

"My apologies princess I don't recall that name. Wait here this will not take long." Daetra replied setting her down leaning against a nearby tree.

"Raiha answer my plea and fight with me once more! Grant me more power!" Daetra's mysterious angel let out a blinding blue light surging more power through its masters' body.

Daetra charged at Kage unsheathing Raiha once more.

"You're old news spirit of lightning! My power has far surpassed yours whilst you were idly sleeping away like the coward you are!"

"It seems you have forgotten my Colossus power. Very well allow me to demonstrate it once again sending chills through every core of your body!"

Daetra and the marauder's blades collided sending sparks from both weapons. Kage sent a kick towards Daetra's legs in an attempt to knock him off his balance.

Daetra grinned predicting his movements leaping just before his surprise attack could take effect.

Kage gritted his teeth as he took the full force of Daetra's mid air round kick to his head.

"So it seems you can still" Kage was interrupted as he felt the mighty iron fist connect to his gut bringing him to his knees only making Kage even more furious.

"I'm not going to lose!" Kage stabbed his malicious blade into the earth releasing an ominous red light and piercing spikes shooting there way through the ground.

Daetra stabbed his own angel through the ground Raiha's lighting halting Draconicus' raging spikes.

Kage grinned raising his palm up causing dozens of spikes to levitate and fire towards Daetra. Daetra quickly released his grip from Raiha infusing spiritual energy through his hands and feet. As the spikes launched towards its target getting closer and closer Daetra punched and kicked through the incoming projectiles smashing them to pieces. Kage laughed as he slashed Draconicus downwards.

"The end!"

All of a sudden hundreds of spikes fell from the sky burying the spirit of lighting.

"You fool did you think I would simply strike from one direction? Guess you were no match for me after all!" Kage cackled staring upon the grave of his opponent.

"No Shido!" Tohka let out a blood curdled scream as she witnessed this brutal surprise attack. All of a sudden the ground beneath her shook tremendously.

"What's happening?"

An immense aura shot towards the sky like a roaring fire. Erupting through the death strike Daetra eviscerated the spikes to pieces.

"Impossible!"

Kage glared at Daetra who had his hands connected in a cross manner.

"Well now the warm up is over, I think it's time I put you in your place"

Daetra yelled as he summoned forth more and more spiritual power infusing his whole body with golden light creating a crater beneath him.

"Now taste the power of the strongest spirit!"

Daetra stretched his arm out summoning a lightning sphere within his palm closing his fist around it, Daetra punched towards Kage shooting forth a lighting cannon blast.

Kage screamed in pain as he braced the oncoming blast. Blood dripped down the receivers arm as shards of his armour pierced his flesh.

"Damn you! Damn you!" Kage slashed down at Daetra and slashed simultaneously. Both swordsmen sliced and sliced displaying a spectacular blade dance as their blades collided with each other.

"So are you just going to defend Mighty spirit?"

"You really must not know my true power. Well allow me to show you young one." Daetra's ruby shined immensely blinding Kage. Kage gazed in shock as Daetra's angel began to change shape. Before he could defend, Kage was struck by Daetra's angel now in the form of a lightning spear.

"Impossible how did you change your sword into a spear?!"

"Do you realise now young one? The gap between our powers is too grand for you to even scratch my angel."

"Don't count me out yet!"

Kage parried Daetra's spear as strike after strike attempted to destroy his defence. Once again Raiha began to glow a blinding light as it began to shape shift once more. Daetra pulled Raiha apart revealing two one handed short swords. Daetra slashed down at Kage breaking his defence. Kage yelled grabbing Daetra's arm and throwing him towards the sky. Daetra grinned throwing his dual blades towards the ground causing a sphere full of lighting bolts to electrify Kage.

Kage yelled in agony shaking off the volts. Daetra somersaulted three times landing safely on the ground. Rushing forwards, Daetra grabbed the blades slicing upwards at Kage.

Blocking Raiha with Draconicus was not effective as the blade smashed to pieces.

Gazing in fear Kage stepped back almost falling over in fear.

"It's over Kage the marauder! Lighting flash stream!" Kage now defenceless suffered the wrath of Daetra's Lighting infused 50 hit combo annihilating what was left of his spiritual armour.

Kage cowered in fear as he stared into the eyes of the spirit he could only see as a mighty god bringing down his divine punishment.

"How can you be this powerful? Just what the hell are you!?"

Daetra converted back to the long sword it once was and proceeded to finish Kage with a mighty blow.

"Please I don't want to disappear!"

Upon hearing those words, Daetra suffered a massive headache as his eyes shifted from shido's back to his own showing signs Shido was regaining his consciousness once more. Taking this rare chance Kage limped away leaping on to his nearby hidden motorcycle he intended to use after completing his objective.

Tohka originally intended to pursue him but realised Shido's safety was more important right now as she saw him collapse his body and attire returning to normal. Tohka ran to him embracing him within her arms as she tried to shake him awake.

"Shido hang in there! Please Shido! What do I do?" Tohka said in a panicked state.

With the spiritual energy interference gone, Shido's earpiece began to echo out the voice of his sister. Tohka grasped the earpiece pleading for help.

"Kotori please help Shido collapsed! What should I do?"

"Tohka calm down. Shido is fine. We are preparing the ratatoskr to pick you both up please remain at your current location."

"But we have to get him to a hospital. He is completely out cold."

"Tohka he is going to be fine I will debrief once we have picked you both up. It's time I tell you about what just happened here.
