Ch.16: The Chaotic battle, Three way Final Round?!
(Tournament Stage)
A soon as the battle started Bella changed forms and rushed with great speed. Fuijin barely had time to make a barrier of wind against the shapeshifter's attacks. Hyna-Wolf's claws were barely being held off by the wind as they were just inches away from the kimono clad warrior. The wolf girl growled before jumping back towards her starting point. Fuijin let the wind die down as she knew now not to underestimate the Toon-girl.
As Bella rushed to get the sister's attention Mukurowl flew off of Illu's head and took to the skies. Illu detached the blade of her glaive and sent the steel and chain flying around to strike the sisters from behind. Suijin seemed to spot the weapon as she stabbed the ground with her trident to create a pool of water. Like a geyser it rose up and became solid enough for the blade to be sent off course. Illu twirled the staff of her weapon and returned the blade back to its place on the top.
"Well it seems like these two actually have a shred of teamwork between them." Suijin said in a bit of a happy tone.
"Either way it does not like that will help them win, no one has bested our Nami-Kaze strategy." Fuijin opened her fans to express her point. "Mistress-sama only cares for Shadow; these other ones can go to hell for all she cares."
In a red flash Bella returned to her original form. "These two aren't messing around they play for keeps, we need a plan against their teamwork strategy." The girl looked to Illu. "Any ideas?"
Illu thought back to the sister's last match. It was true that the two worked best together, but separately…
"Bella, I think I might have something!" Illu said. She then mentally called Mukurowl down to her so that they could start their attack.
"Lay it on me Owl-girl!" Bella began to listen to Illu's plan and smiled after hearing her part in it. "Alright, let's get this fight started!"
(Kurotsubasa)
"What do you think their chances are?" Key asked.
"Don't say that Key, I know they got a plan to beat those two nya!" Ravena shouted.
"Punnya!" Punnya meowed in agreement.
"Got to admit to get around the tag team thing will be a chore, if they can use a joint move then that means they are perfectly in sync with each other." DB said.
"How does a joint move work exactly, I know all the basic stuff but I've never been able to pull one off with any of my friends and I don't think Punnya counts." Ravena asked.
"Joint moves work on one principle, balance." Shadow started to explain. "Not only do the users have to be in sync but the attacks they are combining have to combine evenly as well or it all blows up."
"Those two sisters have compatible elements, wind and water, having elements that are compatible is the easiest way to make joint moves." Key said.
"The key word is 'joint' though, how do those girls work when it's one on one?" DB put the question in the air.
The guild heard Punnya's cries and looked towards the stage.
"Looks like we're about to find out." Shadow said.
(Tournament Stage)
As the twins got ready they were shocked to see the air waiver around them for a second.
"What was that?" Suijin asked in surprise.
"No time, here they come!" Fuijin got into position.
Both Bella and Illu were running in a straight path towards the elemental duo. Soon the two broke off with Bella running towards Fuijin and Illu running to Suijin with her daggers revealed.
(Destiny)
"Wow a frontal attack, they must have lost their senses." Hagane commented on Bella and Illu's strategy.
"That will never work, Fuiji-nee will blow one away and Suiji-nee will just wash the other one with them. Those Nee-chans will have to learn the hard way!" Aka said from his spot as he watched.
Renchard watched the fight as well but also noticed something that apparently the rest of his "team" did not notice right away. 'Kurotsubasa has a history of being unpredictable in battle; let's see if what the blogs say about this group is true.'
(Tournament Stage)
(Play: Fairy Tail OST: I Wish)
Suijin smirked as Illu got into close range. "I would expect your half a mind partner to try a plan like this but I had high hopes for you."
Illu smirked though a tick mark did appear on the back of her head. Suijin made the created a torrent around her trident to attack. 'Illu' took the attack head on and the trident pierced through her, Suijin was surprised but not by the fact the girl was impaled.
She was surprised that the trident just phased through the girl's body and that the water around her weapon began to freeze. A gust of frozen wind sent the girl away from her sister as Illu's form shifted to that of a blue alien.
"Big Chill and I do NOT have half a mind by the way!" The Necrofriggian mocked the girl he had just tricked.
At the same time Fuijin crossed her fans and released an X-shaped blade of wind towards the girl in front of her. 'Bella' took a direct hit and flew back as her chest was cut open by the razor sharp air blades.
"Too bad it had to end this soon, from what I saw during the tournament I expected a little more of a challenge." Fuijin stopped gloating over her 'victory' to notice one thing.
Instead of shreds of cloth and drops of blood, white feather began to pour from a smirking Bella's body as her form burst into more feathers. The feathers circled around her in a manner of a cyclone.
"You think a wind attack will work on me!" Fuijin made an attempt to blow the feathers away only for a large force to slam into her body.
The illusion broke as Fuijin was knocked ways away from her sister. A much larger Mukurowl hooted as he circled back around after the collision with Fuijin's torso. Illu rode on his back as she prepared for her next attack.
"You wanted more of a challenged, and then let me give you what you want!"
(Fairy Tail OST: I Wish end)
"Amazing, the two girls of Kurotsubasa managed to split up the twin goddesses of nature! Now we have two one-on-one battles, so far I like where this cat fight is heading!" Plugman commented.
"I have to agree except with that last part." Kyoto said. "We've already seen how deadly Fuijin and Suijin are as a team, by themselves let's see where this battle goes!"
(Destiny)
"So it was a trap." Renchard said simply after seeing the two separated.
Aka turned towards the teen. "You knew, then why didn't you warn us or them!" The lightning boy angrily spoke.
"It's not like they're my friends or anything, and they should have expected it if they knew about that girl's powers." Renchard said referring to Illu.
"Why you…" A steel hand block Aka as Hagane made his voice known.
"Fuijin and Suijin did not come to the beginning of the tournament with us; they had no clue about Kurotsubasa's abilities except for what Sen gathered." Hagane said. "Why didn't you all out something Aka, out of all of us remaining you've been in the tournament the longest?"
"Aw but I wasn't around when that boy-girl was fighting and the purple haired one lost her fight so I didn't think they were anything serious."
Big Chill stopped mid-fight. "Who the heck just called me a boy?!" The winged alien then dodged a water whip to the head as he focused on the battle.
"Serious or not details need to be remembered Aka." Hagane said. "It is true that Fuijin and Suijin get weaker as they get a few meters of distance from each other but those girls aren't the first to try a strategy like this."
(Bella vs. Suijin)
(Play: The World Ends With You: Calling)
Another frozen breath later and the water froze into a spike of ice. Big Chill landed on the ground and his wings formed his robe around his body.
"This fight isn't getting anywhere; I can freeze your attacks all day!" Big Chill called to the girl.
"That is true; your cyrokinesis is rather troublesome." Suijin said. "While Ice may be a subset of water I don't have much control over it without Fui with me."
"Then why don't we get this over with!" Big Chill tried fly forward but suddenly all the ice began to spike outward, an almost skewered the alien. He went intangible in the nick of time as he looked to a smiling Suijin.
"Just because it's harder doesn't mean that it's not impossible." Suijin manipulate the ice together to make a dome around Bella.
"If you think this will stop me, you're mistaken!" Bella paused at the thought of just phasing through the dome when another plan filled her head.
Inside the dome a green light went off as a burst of heat was released. A new alien stood before Suijin as the ice and water around her began to evaporate from the intense heat.
Heatblast!
"What do you have to say now, its fire versus ice!" Heatblast stood with fists aflame.
"I'm afraid you have forgotten something." Suijin said.
"Huh?"
A large pool of water appeared behind Suijin as a huge wave rose to the sky. Suijin smiled at the fire attribute as she held the massive tsunami at bay.
"My element isn't ice, its fire versus…WATER!" The name of the element was enough to send the tidal wave crashing down as Heatblast looked at it in shock before it hit.
"Bad day!" A small amount of steam went upward as the Pyronite was swallowed by the raging waters.
(TWEWY: Calling end)
(Illu versus Fuijin)
After she recovered from the surprise strike she looked and saw the pet and master in the air.
"You two seem cocky playing around in my home turf." Fuijin then got her fans ready.
Dance of Blades!
Large crescent shaped blades launched themselves towards the large owl and his rider.
"Here it comes Muku-chan get ready!" Illu yelled. Mukurowl hooted as his master began to send out mental commands.
The large owl then shrunk back to his original size allowing him to weave through the blades. Illu showed offed some flexibility as she was able to twist her way out of the blades. After she was out of harm's way she opened some vials from her coat and released four large clouds of purple vapor.
Beasts of Miasma!
The clouds soon morphed as they took beastlike appearances. The bestial clouds roared as they made their descent towards the wind- natured girl.
Another flick of her fans and Fuijin sent out a gust of wind and blew the vapors away. Mukurowl grew once more to catch his master as he gave her an easier drop back onto the marble floor of the stage.
"So illusions and poison are how you play huh, I hate to break it to you but you're hopelessly outmatched against me." Fuijin informed her.
"What makes you say that?" Illu said as Mukurowl shrunk down and perched on her head.
"From what you've shown me you like to create distance and use ranged attacks but I'm the worse opponent to use ranged attacks against." Fuijin mocked her. "And even if you did have close range attacks you will have to battle against the wind to even get close."
Illu held her glaive firmly as she glared at Fuijin. "You're wind won't be able to protect you forever."
Fuijin let out a laugh at Illu's statement. "Unlike my sister I don't have the weakness of having to summon my element…"
The girl held a fan high in the air as the air started to shift and swirl around her. "The wind is everywhere!"
Dance of the Dragon!
The large funnel of air formed in front of her and was launched at Illu. Illu knew she couldn't escape the cyclone so she planned something else. The symbol on Illu and Mukurowl glowed however Illu felt something extra as well.
The cyclone swallowed the two as they took the wind head on.
(Eclipse Stadium)
"Cast you've been around these guys before." Rina said. "From all the information I was able to get Kurotsubasa has a slim chance of winning."
"Information can't tell you everything." Cast said. "Kurotsubasa has a few things the other teams here do not and I'm not talking about the Wings of Creation."
"They have trust and powers amongst themselves that all the other teams do not have." Cast tried to explain. "If there is a way for them to turn this battle around into a victory they will find it."
Rina listened to what her cousin had to say and then turned to the battle. 'Kurotsubasa has been the proverbial underdogs in this tournament yet they made it this far, I'll take your words into account Cast let's see what they can do.'
(Eclipse Stadium)
In the hands of one of the many watchers of the fight was a small crystal ball no bigger than the man's palm. Inside was clouded with the glowing kanji of chaos in the center. Chaos tossed it up and down as he watched.
Amaterasuice watched as the fighters separated and knew soon that they would make their move. "So should we start now or give them a bit more of a show?"
"What kind of question is that?" Chaos smiled as he caught the ball once again but this time held it as he slowly filled it with his own energy.
"We give the people a show of course, a show that they will never forget."
(Bella versus Suijin)
Out from the waters a figure jumped in the air as he flew into the air. Jetray looked down to Suijin.
'Shoot and I thought that plan would work!' Bella thought.
"Hey Bella I think you're going through this all wrong." Jack Spicer thought back to her.
"He's right; maybe you should try this from another angle." Optimus said.
'And that would be?' Bella asked.
"Do we need to spell it out for you, let me try against the water-girl down there; we'll give her a classic Hyna Squad beatdown." A new voice said.
'I like the way you all think!' Jetray landed on the ground and moved to change forms.
"I've had enough of your transformations for a day." Suijin yawned out as she sent another blast of water towards the alien.
In a flash of light a new being stood in the path of the water. He smiled as he took the blast head on, at the same time arcs of water traveled back through the attack and back at Suijin. Suijin cried out in pain as she was electrocuted.
After the attack died the new form stood proudly as he looked to Suijin. "I think it's time we changed the game up!" Electro (Spectacular Spiderman) took the stage.
Suijin got up panting a bit after the brief electrical shock. She patted her frizzy hair back to normal and wiped the invisible dust off from her clothes.
"I had a feeling you were going to be the more troublesome of the two." Suijin stated.
"Well a fight is a fight so what can you do about it?" Electro said nonchalantly. "All I have to do is beat you and that's one less member of Destiny to deal with."
"Just because you can use electricity now doesn't mean you're any bigger of a threat." Suijin said. "You're just going to be more troublesome to fight, but you've left yourself open for a bit."
"What do you mean by that?" Sparks flew from the villain.
Suijin just smiled. "You'll find out soon enough."
(Illu versus Fuijin)
(Play Buso Renkin OST: Makkai no Chikai)
Fuijin watched as her cyclone still raged in the stop where Illu was. 'Not much of a challenge that one, I might as well help Sui-nee with her opponent.'
She was about to turn around and walk around away before her attack suddenly exploded. Out of the tornado came the silhouette of a large bird. Fuijin brought out her fans to get ready but a blast of acid hit her hand, she screams as it ate away at her right hand and the fan she dropped was reduced to a puddle.
Hybrid-Illu stood, or hovered, in her full glory as she saw her attack connected. She didn't waste any more time as she flew towards her wounded opponent.
Fuijin cringed at the pain on her hand but put it aside she saw Illu approach. She used her remaining fan and sent a few blades towards Illu.
Illu saw the attacks and made a move to increase her speed.
Vernier!
She flew so fast that she left afterimages as they all dodged the wind blades. Illu then made her speed copies solid as she went for her attack. Four Illu's swooped down for a combined attack.
Birds of Prey!
The Illu closest to Fuijin blew up in a gust of wind after Fuijin's attempt to block her. As she was lifted up a second Illu lit on fire and the kimono-clad girl was enveloped in flames. As she screamed another Illu turned to water and slammed down on her while dousing out the flames. The final Illu grabbed her with her talons and slammed her onto the ground.
(Buso Renkin OST: Makkai no Chikai end)
"Amazing, I didn't think the small girl had it in her, in a devastating four hit combo Illu may have already won her match!" Plugman announced.
Illu landed on the ground as she saw Fuijin did not move. A small wave of pain hit her head but she shrugged it off while turning to Bella's fight. 'I shouldn't worry about pain right now; I have to go backup Bella-chan.'
She was about to take off once more but then let out a scream of pain as a slash of wind sliced her back. Illu slowly turned around to see an angry Fuijin with scorched and wet clothes.
"Forget this tournament I'm going to wipe you out from the face of this world!" A large tornado was summoned before her but this time it had a dark and ominous feel to it. With rage Fuijin sent the storm towards the object of her rage.
Tempest: Dance of the Dragon!
Illu's eyes widen in shock as the attack made its way to her. She tried to fly away from it but the air currents were pulling her in. She was sucked into the large tornado, as curled herself up as the wind sliced at her but another force hit her that she was not expecting.
Illu screamed again as a bolt of lightning flew from a corner of the windstorm and shocked her. The pattern continued with Illu being occasionally hit by the arcs of lightning.
"Illu!" Electro turned around only to be shorted out by a blast of water. Suijin stopped her short plan of overloading the pure electric villain as she saw her sister's attack.
"Oh dear, it seems that she's really lost control now." Suijin then looked back to the down and almost human Electro. "You best concentrate on your own battle, she'll be dead soon."
Electro huffed as he got back up. As much as Bella wanted to help Illu right now she had to first deal with her own fight first.
(Kurotsubasa)
"Illu!" Ravena cried out.
"Punnya!" Punnya called out to her friend.
DB and Key looked with shock and rage as they saw the "little sister" of the group have to endure the devastating attack. DB had to calm himself from not jumping into the fight.
Shadow's fist clench as he could only imagine the pain that Illu must have been in. His rage grew every time he heard Illu's screams.
(Tournament Stage)
Illu fell to the ground after the attack ended, the hybrid separated back into Mukurowl and Illu as Fuijin slowly walked over to them. Some of Mukurowl's feathers were singed while parts of Illu's coat were charred. Illu lifted up her head seeing Fuijin walk with murderous intent.
"Now should I kill you now or make you suffer?" Fuijin asked. The wind swirled around her fan making a large transparent blade of air.
Illu struggled to life herself up from the ground as Fuijin approached. The wind user stopped before the girl. Instead of aiming the blade to Illu she held it in a stabbing position above a downed Mukurowl.
"Of course…I'm going to make you suffer!"
(Eclipse Stadium)
"Now?" Amaterasuice asked.
Chaos' hand grew crimson as he concentrated on the ball as it glowed. "Now…the show will begin."
(Tournament Stage)
The pain returned but it soon dulled and was slowly replaced with power. The mark on Illu's head glow a dark red and a seal became visible through her clothes on her back…the seal for chaos. In a speed Fuijin didn't anticipate Illu was holding onto her wrist preventing the blade from dropping.
"What the…" She then had to jump back to avoid the knife in Illu's other hand. She knew the girl used poisons but that time she deliberately aimed for her heart. 'She tried to kill me with that move!'
After she felt Fuijin back away Illu looked back to Mukurowl who was still on the ground. The mark on her head began to vanish as Illu's transformation began.
"What the hell is going on here, ladies and gents just when you think the little bird is down for the count she gets back up?!" Plugman said.
"I don't know about you but I feel something strange coming from that Kurotsubasa girl." Kyoto said as her fur was on end.
"You're going to have to be more specific Kyoto, from where I see both girls are strange!"
(Bella versus Suijin)
"I got a bad feeling about this." Electro said.
"Again you best concentrate on your own battle before focusing about your teammate." Suijin criticized the shapeshifter once again. Water formed from the air around her trident as she used it to launch a sphere of water.
Electro wasted no time slamming down the Omnitrix to change forms. The sphere splashed the new arrival to the battle but the water was absorbed through his…shell. Water Hazard glared as he had to think of a way to end the battle.
'I have to finish this and help Illu, something doesn't feel right and it isn't because Petey's Spidey Senses are tingling.' Bella thought.
(Illu versus Fuijin)
Illu's already long purple hair extended until it touched the ground and turned a snow white color. Though she was still crouched down her body became more mature and taller. Her charred and torn clothes were changed into a sleeveless kimono with the same color scheme as her jacket with a slit on the right side for easier movement. The scarf fell from her neck and became the obi that wraps around her waist. Her boot disappeared and she became barefoot. Her wings appears on her back as her ears sharpen and purple marks appears on her face, thought mostly around her eyes giving them the look of an owl.
"Another one, what is up with these humans?" Fuijin asked in a small voice.
"…pain…" The demon-Illu said. "You… made Muku-Chan feel pain…"
Fuijin noticed her odd change of tone but pushed it away. "So what if I hurt your little pet, what are you going to do?"
Illu remained silent as she spread out her new wings. Her avian eyes bore through her opponent. A violin then appeared into her hand.
"…pain…I'll make you feel it."
(Eclipse Stadium Audience)
"I didn't think your seal had that effect on a subject, fascinating." Amaterasuice said.
"Ah my dear friend, while her behavior may be the cause of the seal her transformation was not." Chaos said.
"Huh, so you're saying she's just like that other girl from Kurotsubasa?" Chaos' right-hand man asked.
"I don't think so but whatever the reason it will still provide some entertainment." Chaos said. "Remember to do your part at the right moment, everything else is set up."
"Ok, but for now let's watch this demon run wild." Amaterasuice said.
(Kurotsubasa)
"What just happened, could Illu always…?" DB asked what was on everyone's mind as they watched the fight.
"I knew Illu was a hybrid but this goes beyond her Hybrid-form, it could be a last resort kind of thing." Key said.
"No" Ravena said. "I know the feeling Illu had around her; this was something that was sealed away for a reason."
'It's just like…' Old memories flowed through Shadow's head as he watched the battle. Winning or not he knew something had to be done.
(Bella versus Suijin)
"I don't have time to play with you anymore!" Water Hazard said.
"Oh we were just playing?" Suijin joked but knew she had to put an end to the fight soon to help her sister. "I agree, let's put an end to this battle."
Suijin concentrated all the water around her and even in the air to form her next attack. The water gathered and rose into the air as she made several hand seals. Its form gathered together and became a dragon, its yellow eyes glaring at the alien.
"So that's how we're going to play it?" Water Hazard slammed a fist into the ground and made dust fly to create a cover. A bright light within the dust cloud showed Bella had transformed once again.
"No matter what transformation you have its useless!" Suijin finished her seals.
Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!
The dragon roared as it was unleashed towards its target. Within the smoke something appeared and intercepted the dragon.
Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!
Another dragon appeared and slammed into Suijin's jutsu. The two masses of water canceled out as droplets fell onto the stage. Suijin looked in surprise to see that her jutsu was canceled.
"You're probably wondering how that happened?" A calm but lazy voice said from the dust.
Suijin looked and saw the recent transformation. It was a Konoha shinobi but it didn't explain how he canceled her move, the dust cleared further and she saw what had copied her technique. A sharingan eye focused on her movement as the shinobi's form appeared.
"Well I would explain it to you but I have a teammate to rescue." Kakashi shifted into a familiar position.
Lightning Blade!
Lightning natured chakra flowed through his hand as he prepared his original technique. The sound of birds and lightning filled the arena as Kakashi glared at Suijin. In a flash he was soon inches away from the shocked girl.
"You're future is…DEATH!"
The technique pierced through her torso without any resistance. Kakashi's hand broke through her back as the technique began to die down. Suijin seemed stunned as the pain of a fist flowing right through her didn't register yet. Kakashi took his hand out of her and let her fall to the ground.
"Whoa I really have to remember that there are TWO battles going on here and it looks like one has just ended!" Plugman said.
Kakashi didn't take time to notice his victory as he rushed towards Illu.
(Illu versus Fuijin)
"You're going to make me feel pain?" Fuijin asked. "I'll admit your daggers were a useful weapon but what will a violin do, are you going to play a lullaby and hope I fall asleep!"
Wind circled around her fan. "Well it's not going to work!" She sent a wind blade towards the demon-girl.
Illu didn't appear to notice the wind attack but with a whip of her hand something destroyed Fuijin's attack. It didn't stop there as whatever Illu did as whipped Fuijin across her face, not only did it sting but it began to burn and eat at her skin.
'Poison, but how?' Fuijin set out multiple blades this time.
Dance of Blades!
The blades flew; this time more clustered together so there was no way to weave through them. A ball of energy appeared in Illu's hand before it extended and created a whip, she then did a pirouette. She spun and her speed increased as the whip created a shield that sliced the blades to pieces. After all the blades were destroyed Illu stopped her spinning. "What how is any of this possible?" Fuijin questioned seeing as Illu brushed off her attack. Illu's whip disappeared as she brought her violin up and began to play (Legend of Zelda: Lost Woods Violin version). The melody filled the air as its effects soon took place. Fuijin then saw Illu's appear out of thin air and began to surround her. She tried to use wind to destroy the copies but the wind only passed through them. The Illu copies all spread their wings as they began their nest attack. Feather Stream They all focuses power into their feathers and from every direction began to strike Fuijin. The wind user used wind to make a makeshift shield but some feathers we're able to get through and slice her skin. As she tried her best to fight back to all those around her it appears as though she was frantically moving as Illu played her song. (Kurotsubasa) "Not only are Illu's poison powers more powerful, so are her illusions." Key said. "That illusion seems too real to me." DB said as he can see and smell the blood starting to appear on Fuijin. "She's actually causing physical harm." "This battle has to end soon." Shadow said. "Huh why is that?" Ravena asked as she and Punnya listened to the song. "I don't know if you can see it but I don't think Illu's in control." Shadow said. "Well there goes Bella; maybe she can snap her out of it." DB said. (Tournament Stage) Kakashi finally made it to Illu only to see she basically had everything under control. He covered his sharingan as he tried to get Illu's attention. "Yo, Illu, I think that's enough let just stop the fight ok." Kakashi tried to touch her but was blown away by a loud scream. Kakashi got up dizzily as he saw several Illu's around him too. 'What's going on, why did Illu?' Bella thought in her mind. "Bella I think we have other problems." Kakashi said. His vision was hazy as he saw the world around him begin to warp. "I think your friend put us in an illusion." 'What but Illu would never…' Bella tried to think of a reason why Illu would do this. "Either way we have to figure out a way out of this." Kakashi said. He tried to reach for the Omnitrix symbol only to have to jump out of the way of several feathers. The Konoha shinobi had to dodge the owl's attacks.
(Eclipse Stadium)
"Looks like that Hyna girl tried to ruin the fun." Chaos said. "We can't have that now can we?"
"While this is fun and all when do we start, it's getting boring hearing that little girl play her song." Amaterasuice said.
"I have to agree, this battle requires much more destruction." He pushed more chaotic energy through his crystal and into Illu's system. "Fortunately I have a way to make that happen."
(Kurotsubasa)
"Nya, what is she doing!" Ravena tried to call out to Illu to get her to stop.
"Punnya!" Punnya said.
"Illu's gone crazy out there, what do we do?" DB asked.
"The only thing we can do, this battle isn't ending quickly enough I'll have to step in." Shadow said.
"Remember you'll cost us a win for the tournament." Key reminded him. "But for right now the tournament doesn't matter, we need to snap Illu out of this."
Shadow was about to leap into the stage before he felt a strange wavelength. "What the hell?" He said as he stood frozen.
"What is it?" Key asked.
"Shads?" Ravena said.
(Tournament Stage)
Suddenly Illu's song stopped as her instrument fell to the ground. She fell to her knees as the owl girl placed her hands on her head in pain. The illusions around Fuijin ended as the song had stopped. She was about to attack but felt a strange aura coming from Illu.
"Now what?" She asked. Fuijin tried to find her sister only to find her body on the ground. 'Suijin is…' Her thoughts stopped as she felt power explode from Illu.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah !" Illu screamed in pain. Power flew everywhere as she lost control.
Waves of energy slammed against the barrier around the Audience but they could all feel it. The energy gave them all a feeling of fear as it filled the air, everyone was frozen wondering what was going on.
On the stage Kakashi saw the Illu's fade and his vision cleared but he was then hit by the wave of madness. In a flash Bella was back as she stood still feeling the energy coming from Illu.
"This is bad, this is really bad!" Bella said.
Fuijin didn't know what had happened but suddenly Illu was now in front of her slashing wildly with her knives. She was able to dodge her because her moves were sloppy but saw the look of madness in the girl's eyes. Illu's mind was blank but only one thing remained, she wanted to destroy.
Fuijin ducked another slash to her head but a surprise kick to her gut sent her on the ground. She tried to move but the knives were thrown and pinned her down by her outfit. She sat helpless as Illu walked to her with her glaive.
"Disappear, disappear" Illu raised her glaive high. "Disappear!"
The sound of something hitting flesh filled the air.
(Destiny)
"What the…what is happening?" Aka asked seeing the conclusion.
"Chaos happened." Hagane said.
Renchard sat up watching what had just happened. His grip tightening around his massive sword.
(Kurotsubasa)
"What the…" DB said.
"No" Tears began to build up in Ravena's eyes. Punnya stayed silent as she just watched.
"Those bastards" Key said.
Shadow said nothing as his rage began to reach its boiling point.
(Tournament Stage)
Fuijin looked up having felt no pain; she lifted her eyes to see Illu was frozen. She saw someone walk from behind Illu after he took his hand out of her back and pulled something out. Illu fell to the ground, lifeless.
"As fun as this battle was…" Amaterasuice stood proudly. "I'm afraid we need to end it here."
"Wwwwwait what just happened, not only did the girl go psycho but some stranger appears and interrupts the fighting! Where the hell is security?!"
(Admin Booth)
"What did you say?" Cast asked.
"All of the guards posted around the Stadium have been intercepted, some are dead but most are wounded!" A guard said to her.
"No wonder he got through without interference!" Rina said. "Who all is left?"
"No one besides us three!" The A.G. said. "Speed and Leon still haven't reported back yet and everyone else is down!"
"Damn, so CHAOS decided to strike but why what motive does he have?" Rina tried to figure it out.
"Attention Audience, Teams, and Admin!"
"Chaos" Cast said.
(Tournament Stage)
Chaos appeared and stood next to Amaterasuice. "While the fights so far have been entertaining it's missing a little something, so I figured why not help the Admin by spicing things up!"
"While all these Finals matches may be fun to watch let's decide things with this, a three way battle to decide the winner!"
Most of the audience started to chatter what was going on, some tried to leave recognizing the group. Cast walked to the balcony and spoke to Chaos.
"What makes you think we will allow this?!"
"Simple, because we hold the fate of everyone here in our hands" Chaos said. "You see not only are your guards indisposed but we have blocked all the exits of this area."
"We've looked down this whole stadium, nothing short from being a part of our group will allow you exit." Amaterasuice said. "And before you even think about trying to team up to escape…"
A snap of the boy's hands and the barrier around the stage became solid. People tried to rush at Chaos to try and escape but the barrier bounced them all back. The audience couldn't leave the stadium and now they couldn't even put up any resistance to CHAOS.
"Now then as I was saying." Chaos said. "A three way battle with the remaining teams!"
"Even if we allowed this only two teams are left, hence the finals!" Rina said.
"Oh really?" Amaterasuice said. "I'm still here as I am the leader of DarkBlade or should I say Team Chaos."
"What?!" Cast said in shock.
"You would be surprised what fighters would do for a second chance in the tournament. Now it's Kurotsubasa, Destiny, and Chaos I wonder who will win."
"Really you have no faith in me sir?" Amaterasuice sarcastically asked.
"I have faith you will make this exciting." Chaos then turned towards the team's booths. "So who will figh…?"
He was cut short by a scythe blade being position around his neck. "It seems we have a volunteer."
Shadow just glared at the two. "What did you do to Illu?"
"Oh the girl nothing yet." Amaterasuice tossed the purple sphere a bit as he held it. "We have the girl's soul, though she isn't dead…yet."
"Screw the tournament, what's stopping all of us from kicking your ass?" Shadow rhetorically asked.
"Well it's too late for your team but the barrier around your booths faded only a bit to let ONE member out. The rest of your guild is trapped and we hold the girl's soul, you also have a time limit." Amaterasuice said.
"Time limit?"
"The barriers have to be power by something, though they don't last forever unfortunately." Chaos said. "Do you remember a person named Darksin?"
"He was one of your goons right, I remember him." Shadow said.
"His powers over barriers were one of a kind, he created these barriers years ago and they run off a person's spiritual energy." Chaos began to explain. "Sometime before the finals I tagged your friend over there with a seal that is linked to the barrier, she is "powering" it in a way."
"So if the barrier uses up all her soul power…" Amaterasuice stopped playing with the sphere. "It will fall and her soul vanishes."
Shadow stood froze hearing this information. He took his weapon away from his neck. "Then I don't have time to waste do I?" He glared at them.
"Brilliant now for Destiny." Chaos said.
Hagane looked to Renchard. "Go and prove your worth, this may be your only chance to win and get the money."
"I know that" Renchard walked towards the stage.
"Why did you let him fight I could of…" Hagane stopped Aka's argument.
"We do not have time for this, with him fighting we will at least complete Mistress' request. Take Suijin and Fuijin and leave, I'll collect the data." Hagane explained.
"But…?"
"Do you want to tell Kusanagi-sama why we failed, go!"
Aka nodded and used his powers to leave at the exact same time Renchard did. In a flash he and the two girls were gone.
Bella tried to attack seeing they forgot about her but she was soon sucked through a portal and back into the Team's booth.
"Sorry no surprise guests." Chaos said. "Now let's clear the stage."
Illu's body was lifted inside a ball of light followed by her soul. The two were moved outside of the stage away from eminent harm.
"Now try and make this exciting or I may have to deplete the barrier faster than it already is." Chaos then vanished making the knife Shadow threw miss.
Shadow just got ready as he looked to his opponents. Renchard got ready as he prepared to fight. Amaterasuice looked amused as he just stood there.
"Wait a minute, this battle wasn't…" Kyoto was stopped after a shot was fired at hers and Plugman's booth.
"I suggest you two start the match." Chaos said.
"O…ok then, what could possibly be our final Final round…Shadow vs. Renchard vs. Amaterasuice. What might happen, no one has a clue."
"Let's get the games started then." Kyoto said nervously. "Ready…FIGHT!"

Sorry for the long hiatus and for the cliffhanger but I have to stop it right there. Life goes on and I used all the time I had to give you all this chapter, now first a few extra Author's notes before a present for my hiatus.
Credit to Illusionist Owls for reasons you could possibly guess, also check out An Owl's First Flight written by Illu as well.
Also to anyone who is good with videos and editing, a family member showed me something on YouTube that maybe is perfect for FFW incase no one is good on Animation. It's called 2nd CHANCE! On YouTube and if you cannot find it I will send a link.
-Shadowlight0982 out.
Now enough of that random stuff here's your present.
(Scene Change)
"Now ladies and gentlemen welcome to, 'What would Shadow do?'" An announcer called out.
"Now everyone here's your protagonist, the face of darkness, the wielder of creation…Shadowlight0982!" After that Shadow walked to the stage and looked to the announcer.
"What am I supposed to be doing?" Shadow asked.
"That's simple; you have to explain to everyone the rules!"
Shadow sighed. "I just had to do charity work." He turned to the crowd. "Well everyone this is where you ask any questions you have about FFW apparently if I read this right. Before you message any questions there are certain rules."
"First, no spoilers under any circumstances, no freebies to the plot, next arc or anything else." Shadow said. "Second only the first five questions sent in will be answered, why five because this is the end of the chapter and while we would like to answer everything we don't have the time."
"Well you heard the rules everyone, send in your questions and we will see you next time!"
"Remind me to kill Bella and Ravena for signing me up to this." Shadow said as he left.
