Dazzler, Chakra, Solaria, and Celena came bursting through the wall into the room. Estrella, Rhina, Nico, Tarot Chariot, and Carina turned their heads at the dazzling heroine and two Shatrix sisters in unexpected shock.
"Hey, Carina! You want me, you got me!" Dazzler yelled as she immediately went after Carina.
Dazzler engulfed her right fist with circular pink energy and punched directly at Carina's face, sending her flying away to the center of the ground.
Solaria and Celena quickly ran over to embrace Estrella and Rhina as the Shatrix sisters hugged each other tightly.
"Celena, Solaria, thank goodness you're safe!" Estrella smiled.
"Well, you have Dazzler to thank." Celena smiled back.
"But for now, we have to help Dazzler and stop Carina." Solaria said. "I got a bone to pick her for what she did to us."
"Diana, get Nico out of here." Rhina said to Tarot Chariot. "We'll help Chariot, Luna, and take care of Carina."
"You got it." Chakra grinned. "Let's give her hell."
Chakra manifested herself with orange aura as she carried Nico in her arms and flew through the hole from the wall.
The Shatrix, Dazzler, and Tarot Chariot joined together as they watched Carina getting up on her feet.
"Alright, ladies, let's finish her off." Estrella said.
"Finish me? Don't make me laugh." Carina said. "I'll show you all what happens to those that dare defy me."
Carina's entire body let out a large flash of yellow light, causing Dazzler, Tarot Chariot, and the Shatrix to shield their eyes. After the flashing light died down, Dazzler, Tarot Chariot, and the Shatrix opened their eyes wide in utter tremor when they stared at Carina's body engulfing with blazing yellow energy.
"See? This is my true power of the Divine Trinity!" Carina said.
"WHAT?!" Solaria, Rhina, Estrella, and Celena screamed in horror.
"I'll admit you has gotten stronger than I gave you credit for, Ursula." Carina said. "But in the end, the victor of this battle is me. Now, Luna. I'll make you return Nico and yourself to me! After all, the coven's extensive scientific resources made Nico what he is today. Nico is the world's first genetic clone."
"What?!" The Shatrix and Dazzler shouted in shock.
"You…created him?!" Tarot Chariot asked in utter shock. "You can't be serious!"
"When your husband was busy battling with All For One, Aurora collected blood samples from All For One's lackey Tomura Shigaraki. With his blood, Oriana took the opportunity to let our brilliant scientist to create our very first genetic clone in history by combing Shigaraki's blood and Luna's blood together."
But…but that's impossible! Dazzler gasped. Nico does look exactly like a kid version of Tomura when we first met. And Carina have used my own blood to bring him to life!
"But now, you traitorous girls are gonna die, thanks to your unexpected heroics." Carina taunted at the Shatrix.
Carina rushed towards the Shatrix at rapid speed. But suddenly, Dazzler engulfed her fist in pink energy and performed a powerful punch that hit Carina's face at dashing speed.
"Leave them out of this! Your fight is with me!" Dazzler yelled.
"Kick her ass, Luna!" Solaria yelled.
Dazzler hopped into the air as Carina levitated herself in the air towards her.
"Is this really you got? You're not even using the full power of Divine Trinity. Without it, your strength and speed means nothing against me." Carina said.
I need read her movements or I will never win this fight! Dazzler thought.
Suddenly, Solaria's diamond-shaped energy sphere struck Carina in the stomach.
"Stand down, Dazzler. We'll deal with her!" Estrella ordered as she and her sisters dashed forward with their readied Quirks. "You and Chariot, go find for Diana and Nico!"
"Understood!" Dazzler shouted. "I wish you girls luck!"
Dazzler and Tarot Chariot ran through the hole on the wall to search for Nico and Chakra just as Carina recovered herself from the attack.
"It's gonna take a lot more than luck to defeat me!" Carina said.
"Maybe, but that's not gonna stop us from trying!" Solaria yelled.
Carina lifted her hands and fired a barrage of yellow energy blasts rapidly towards the Shatrix, who immediately scattered and dodged the attack with their acrobatic speed and reflexes.
[Flashback]
Estrella, Rhina, Solaria, and Celena sat inside the medical room. They were all getting treated by Rhina's personal Machina. Solaria and Celena only has their right arm and left leg healed while Rhina and Estrella only had both arms restored in perfect health.
"Man, this totally sucks!" Solaria shouted angrily as she crossed her arms over her chest. "I can't believe Carina is making us train in the master level. After everything we've done, we can still be as powerful as she is."
"I know what you mean!" Celena said with a sad frown. "Every time Carina sent us out on those missions, it was so much fun. I mean, despite being beaten so many times, it was the most fun experience in my whole life."
"Hey, Rhina. Is something wrong?" Estrella asked.
"Actually, I've been thinking about Luna and her friends." Rhina replied. "It's clear that they are more powerful than us, no matter how hard we try to compete with them. But don't you get the feeling that we've been fighting on the wrong side for some reason?"
"Maybe." Solaria, Celena, and Estrella responded in unison.
The Shatrix continued to drift off into silence, believing that siding with Carina was a bad idea after all.
[Flashback Ends]
The Shatrix continued fighting against Carina while swiftly dodging the shooting energy bolts.
Solaria threw one large red energy bolt into the air and swung it that caused the energy bolt to explode into small energy bolts. The small energy bolts went flying towards Carina, hitting and blowing her up on contact. Carina went flying in the air undamaged and landed back on the ground once the smoke cleared.
"I see you traitors pick up some new tricks up your sleeves." Carina said.
"You could say that." Solaria chided.
Estrella held dozens of green energy bolts in her hands and released a flurry of them at Carina. Once the energy bolts landed around her, they began to explode into a single clash. But Carina was able to jump out of the way when it happened. Celena spun her body around and shot out multiple pink energy bolts rapidly at Carina, who was protecting herself from the attack with a yellow energy shield. Lastly, Rhina took a step forward and fired off several volleys of two blue energy bolts that travelled outward at Carina in a zigzag shape that hit her hard in an explosion.
Rhina, Celena, Estrella, and Solaria gathered together as they were inhaling deep breaths from the fight. But their eyes widened wide in shock and surprise when Carina recovered herself from the attack as she cracked his neck and shoulders effortlessly.
"You girls are ridiculously powerful individually, but not as a team." Carina said with a sinister smile. "Now, it's my turn."
Carina emitted yellow electric-like energy from her hands and zoomed forward to attack the Shatrix at high speed.
Meanwhile, Dazzler and Tarot Chariot sprinted through the hallway until they finally found Chakra surrounding herself with violet aura as Nico watched in concerning silence.
"Nico! Chakra! Are you okay?" Tarot Chariot asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Chakra replied. "As long as I can heal myself in full health, I'm good. My healing aura is becoming a little slow, but I'll be alright."
"Well, once you're healed good as new, we need to get Nico away from Carina." Dazzler said.
"No, I can't." Nico refused as he was trying to fight back his crying tears. "I'm sorry."
Dazzler, Tarot Chariot, and Chakra stared softly at Nico, who was stricken by Carina's cruel abuse.
"She won't stop. She will never stop. And you were right. You were right all along about Carina." Nico said to Dazzler. "I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused upon you."
"You don't have listen to Carina, Nico! You did nothing wrong!" Chakra said. "She was never a good person to begin with! I don't care if you felt a little amount of guilt within you, you're not going back to her! Not now, not ever!"
Then suddenly, a loud explosion rumbled the hallways that caught Dazzler, Tarot Chariot, Chakra, and Nico's immediate attention.
"Stay with Nico!" Tarot Chariot ordered Chakra. "Dazzler and I are going to help Celena and her sisters!"
"Okay! Be careful!" Chakra shouted.
Dazzler and Tarot Chariot dashed back to the hole and looked at the fight with a horrifying gasp. The Shatrix were laying unconsciously on the ground in a thrashing condition. They have done everything in their strength and power to secure their victory, but they failed to win and suffered by the hands of Carina.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THEM?!" Dazzler screamed in horror.
Celena slowly opened her eyes and lifted her head weakly at Dazzler.
"Luna…Chariot…please take Nico to safety…and kick Carina's butt…for all of us…" Celena begged.
Celena's vision went blank into the state of unconsciousness.
"Mom, take care of the Shatrix and I'll handle Carina!" Dazzler said to her mother.
"Dazzler, wait…!" Tarot Chariot.
Dazzler rushed speedily to engage Carina in another round.
No matter what, I will end this once and for all! Dazzler yelled.
Dazzler began charging Dazzling Trinity throughout her entire body into one hundred percent of power. Carina lifted her hand and fired yellow energy waves at Dazzler, who avoided the attack with remarkable speed.
She seems much more powerful now. Was she only fighting at half strength before? Carina thought.
"Give up. I've already told you before. You're all going to die!" Carina stated.
"You're wrong. I won't let that happen! Even with all that power you possess, I will take you down!" Dazzler argued.
"You little brat!" Carina yelled angrily.
Carina tried to hit Dazzler with more incoming energy waves, but Dazzler continued to dodge with a nick of incredible speed.
I'm getting better at anticipating her attacks, but I can't dodge forever. Dazzler thought.
Carina flew higher while Dazzler charged herself with blazing pink energy.
Carina's not going to back down. I won't let her make Nico give up hope. Dazzler thought. She jumped up to the ceiling. I have to do this quickly. Win with everything I got.
Dazzler then jumped off the ceiling and aimed for Carina's face.
Supernova Smash! Dazzler yelled.
Dazzler spun herself at rapid speed and dove down to unleash a powerful spinning tornado kick at Carina, but unfortunately Carina moved swiftly out of the way that made Dazzler miss her attacking strike narrowly.
She dodged it?! Dazzler thought in shock.
"You may be fast, but compared to the others and your mother, your movements are sadly easy to predict." Carina informed.
Carina attacked Dazzler with more energy beams, making Dazzler dodge out of harm's way. But she was suddenly hit by Carina's energy blast when Carina quickly moved from behind.
Back in the hallway, Chakra was struggling to heal herself back in perfect shape and securing Nico to safety until she suddenly collapsed on her knees. Even though she was still engulfed with violet aura, Chakra became fatigued to the point that she can no longer stand.
"Please get up. We have to keep moving." Nico begged as he knelt down on his knees and tried shaking Chakra in sobbing tears. "Please, you have to get up."
"Don't worry about me, Nico. Go and find someplace to hide." Chakra said. "You're gonna be fine. Dozens of people are doing everything they can to save you. Just go."
Nico hung his head in utter dejection and closed his eyes as he knows what he must do.
Back at the battle, Dazzler has survived Carina's counterattack. But she has been catching heavy breaths in the process.
She's too fast! Dazzler thought. She's using Divine Trinity at 100%, while I'm been using it at maybe 50%. Until then, I need to find the right moment to strike.
"You're done, Luna." Carina claimed. "You're mine for the taking."
"No way. It's far from over." Dazzler argued.
Carina let out a heavy sigh as she was becoming tired of Luna's persistence.
"Just like your mother. She doesn't know when to give up either. Always refusing to admit defeat when the going gets rough." Carina explained. She then noticed Nico coming back to the room. "And it looks like someone finally understands my point of view as usual."
"Don't do this!" Nico shouted. "Please, leave her alone!"
Dazzler turned around with a dreadful gasp.
"No, what are you doing? You need to go back with Chakra!" Dazzler shouted.
"Look at her, Nico." Carina said. "That's what happen to anyone who challenges or rebels me. Is this really what you want?"
"No." Nico answered. "I'll come back."
Dazzler looked shocked, knowing Nico is making big mistake to go back with Carina's torturing ways.
"But if I do, I want you to leave Dazzler alone and take me! And only me instead!" Nico demanded.
"Don't go with her, Nico!" Dazzler yelled. "She will only keep using you for her experiments!"
"What a tempting offer, Nico." Carina said. "Looks like the faint flicker of hope that Chakra has been given him has been extinguished. But unfortunately, Nico, Luna is coming with us by force. She's just as valuable for the coven as you are." She turned back to the angry Dazzler. "Don't you see, Luna? You think you're helping him, but you're only wasting your time. He doesn't want a hero to come and rescue him. You should already know that you can't win against me on your own. Join me and I can help you uncover more of Divine Trinity's capabilities."
"SHUT UP!" Dazzler screamed in anger. She was feeling the triquetra mark glow on her forehead. "After everything you did to me, Nico, and my friends, you actually think I'm just gonna crawl back you just like that?!"
Dazzler finally stood on her feet as a triquetra mark started shining more and more.
"I will never join you and your selfish coven! And I'm not letting Nico going anywhere near you! I'm gonna save him and that's a hero's promise!" Dazzler declared.
The triquetra mark gleamed radiantly on Dazzler's forehead, leaving Nico stare at her with a flick of hope flickering within him.
Suddenly, the ceiling broke down that filled the room with dusting wind.
Carina drifted away to prevent herself from getting blown away while Dazzler looked up at the ceiling to see Black King, White Queen, Zodiac Moon, and Morganite crashing down into the room with a surprising gasp.
Enjoy and review.
