XXV. Reach
"The world is in my hand."
When the fight began, Taiki knew not to jump. He ducked below a large bone finger and rolled, landing near the throne the man had stood from. He knew Bagramon's power was immense, but as the red light continued to roll off his hands and his skin, he realized he didn't care. Taiki couldn't care. It was that little apathetic part of him that sang right now, telling him where to go and what to do. He hummed and clambered up the elaborate chair, standing there.
"So your technique is to run?" Bagramon intoned. He lifted his right hand and a dark red orb formed in its palm. It soared forward and Taiki raised his arms.
Serial XX: Record.
A disc swirled and blocked the red orb. As it spun electricity crackled, and Taiki grimaced. "Playback!" he snapped and the red orb went bursting back towards the fallen angel. Bagramon moved to let it crash feet away and saw Taiki's smile.
"Well, look at this," Bagramon mused. "You're integrating more positively than I expected."
"Call it a quirk," Taiki said, snapping forward. "Serial VII: Ice." Ice rained down from the ceiling and stabbed, only to be cast aside by the opponent.
Master, if you're not careful, you'll wear yourself out. The transition sequence-
Has only just started, I know. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.
That's precisely what is concerning me.
Taiki chuckled and lunged, dodging a glancing blow. "Come on Bagramon, aren't you trying to kill me?" In the man's chest, a red light pulsed and he grimaced, causing Taiki to smile. "Hah, it doesn't like that does it?"
"It prefers a faithless child over a king?"
"You..." Taiki leaped, smashing his fists downward towards the angel's head. "Aren't a king! Shoutmon is the only king the Digital World will ever need!"
"You can't crown a dead man."
Taiki smiled as Yuu pulled himself from the black tear Taiki had left. "Watch me."
