Chapter 20: Waking the demon
"Uh Mitch is everything alright?" Ania questioned as Mitch gazed at her inquisitively with those cold red eyes "Mitch isn't here right now so would you please leave a message after the beep, BEEP" racing towards Ania he slammed Ashura down onto Kanzen Bi as Ania was knocked down to the floor. "Not bad but you'll need to be better than that to survive me" he roared as Ania was pushed off Ashura and Mitch took a deadly at her arm that barley nicked her as a tiny cut formed.
Not finished with his brutal attacks he raced forward and reigned down blow after blow as Ania only just managed to deflect them. His blows had so much force behind them that Ania was being worn from all the strength it required to protect herself and after one lazy block she left a huge opening that Mitch took advantage of as his zanpukto came darting through slicing a clean cut across her right arm as blood spewed out.
Dropping her katana to the ground Ania clutched her bloodied right arm while Mitch stood high above her his hollow mask still forming across his face slowly as he pressed Ashura against her throat again "It would be a shame to kill something so beautiful".
Extending her left hand Ania unleashed a red fire cannon into Mitch's face as it exploded in a cloud of smoke giving her a chance to leap forward and grab Kanzen Bi. Leaping to her feet she arced the blade towards Mitch's chest as a vertical gash was raked across his stomach. Unfortunately the blow didn't seem to faze him as he simply laughed slamming his fist down onto her back as she dropped to the floor gasping for air from the force of the blow.
As Mitch went to stab Ashura down Ania teleported away from his strike as she appeared behind him and slashed at his back but again he wasn't bothered as Mitch spun around bringing Ashura clashing into Kanzen Bi as the blow knocked over Ania due to her fatigue. "This was fun but now it's time to end our little game" Mitch said in a cold dark tone as he slowly strode towards Ania who barley had the strength to stand up now.
Standing over her he brought Ashura up and swung the blade down ready to impale her in the head. Waiting for the blade to strike she looked up to see Mitch froze3n as his right hand came up to his hollow mask and grabbed onto it as he attempted to rip it off. "God damn it I thought I sealed you away for good" Mitch's normal voice grunted as he began talking to himself "Haha I'll never be gone but thanks to this little minx of a young woman I managed to break free as you let your guard down". Slowly Mitch began to tear the hollow mask off his face as the hollow inside of him roared out in defiance "NO! What are you doing stop that!" "Heh sorry but you've got to go, nothing personal but two is a crowd for me" he said before tearing his hollow mask free as his eyes returned to their normal colour.
