SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 25 out, this is Chapter 26 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?
Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and my OC.
Chapter 26: Fierce Battle
"Shut up!" Magna demanded. "I just... shut up! You're so insanely creepy."
"Don't be in such despair, you ugly creature." Kirsch posed. "I understand that you must be quite jealous of my beauty but there are things that just can't be helped."
"Who the hell are you calling ugly?" Magna fumed. "What even is this conversation?"
"The only one that's beautiful is Sis and Sis alone." even Sol was creeped out. "You're so gross, you narcissist creep."
"A maiden shouldn't use such vulgar words." Kirsch turned to the quivering Sol. "Your proportions are somewhat on the beautiful side. If it isn't Mimosa." he noticed his sister. "Did you come to admire my beauty, my beloved little sister?"
"I wouldn't say you're beautiful." Mimosa twitched. "You're so narcissistic that it's creepy."
On the spectator stands...
"The next battle will be Team C: Kirsch, Sol and Magna versus Team D, Cesc, Adrian and Willy." Julius announced. Let the second match begin."
In the arena...
"Fire Creation Magic: Grand Slam!" Magna wasted no time in firing off his rain of fireballs at the opposite team. "Like I'm gonna waste any time." he charged right in. "if I just go right in there and bust the shit out of that crystal, we win."
"Shakudo Magic: Chase Jackal." Cesc summoned his bestial constructs to stop Magna. "Then, how about this?" he increased the number of constructs.
"I see you." Magna instantly located his opponent. "I'm gonna beat the crap out of all these things, then beat the shit outta you."
"What a crude way of fighting." Kirsch sighed. "You're straining too much." he advised. "You're blessed with the ability to use both close and long-range magic. Read the flow of the enemy's mana more. Let your mana be your guide and use close and long-range attacks at the appropriate times."
Following the Coral Peacock Vice Captain's advice, Magna easily took out Cesc.
"Earth Creation Magic: Rampaging Mother Earth!" elsewhere, Sol was rampaging on her earth golem.
"Mud Restraining Magic: Flash Bog." Willie trapped Sol's construct to the ground. "You and your golem can get stuck into my bog."
"Why am I surrounded by such sloppy and simple-minded people?" Kirsch floated in. "Magic which summons golems that can be given certain orders? Since this isn't a feint, its size is unsightly. Why not split it up into smaller ones and use them to create confusion? It would be beautiful to have them lie in ambush within the earth, too. You can do that with your unique mana, can't you?"
"Earth Creation Magic: Divided Mother Earth!" Sol changed her tactic, cornering Willie with four smaller earth golems.
"I shall guard the crystal." Kirsch informed. "Therefore, it shall remain beautiful and unharmed. Bloom as gloriously as you wish."
"What are you talking about?" Adrian retorted. "Your crystal's been left completely unguarded." he shot out from the river he was hiding in. "Water Creation Magic: Climbing Coelacanth!" he launched a watery coelacanth head at Team C's crystal.
"I do apologize, but..." Kirsch moved himself between the water construct and the crystal. "You're already captives of my beautiful magic. Cherry Blossom Magic: Magic Cherry Blossom Blizzard, plus Clones of the Beautiful Me."
"I can't see where our enemies are." Willie was blinded by the swirling sakura petals.
"Go forth unto the beautiful primrose path of victory." Kirsch declared, clearing a direct path to Team D's crystal for Magna and Sol.
With both Magna's and Sol's combined efforts, the opposing crystal was destroyed.
"Team C wins!" the referee announced. "Next up is Round Three. Team E: Finral, Leopold and Hamon versus Team F: Kyle, Borja and Gaston."
"Actually, could you leave our battle strategy to me?" Finral requested. "Spatial magic gives you incredible mobility. There's no reason not to use it."
"Leopold and Hamon are quite skilled." Gaston surveyed their opponents. "Go after the trash from the Black Bulls."
"I'm not so sure about that." Leopold retorted, using Finral's 'Fallen Angel Gate' to teleport behind the Purple Orca mage.
"Feather Magic: Feather Tornado!" Kyle wasted no time in summoning his tornado.
"Leopold, now." Finral barked, activating his 'Fallen Angel Gate' again to allow the fire user to dodge the incoming hurricane and letting the attack take out Gaston.
Leopold appeared from another 'Fallen Angel Gate' and slammed a flaming fist on Kyle.
Hamon, on the other hand, had used another 'Fallen Angel Gate' to appear behind Team F's crystal and completely bypassing Borja's guard. "Glass Creation Magic: Verre Epée!" he secured the opposing crystal.
"Fire Magic: Spiral Flame!" Leopold took out the crystal.
"Crystal destroyed." the referee declared. "Team E wins. Next up is Round Four. Team G: Langris, Flagil and Sekke versus Team H: Gareth, Simon and Medeo."
"First off, why don't I go rampaging in on my Sekke Shooting Star?" Sekke summoned his bronze vehicle.
"That sounds like a good plan." Langris smiled.
"The crystal is completely covered in a shield spell." Gareth shielded their crystal with an iron-maiden barrier. "No one can destroy it easily now."
"Keep going straight." Langris instructed, as he and Sekke headed towards enemy lines.
"You fools." Simon smirked.
"Now you can fall for the trap we set in the earth." Medeo was confident.
With a superior smirk, Langris let his offensive spatial magic loose, neatly slicing through Gareth's barrier along with the crystal.
"The crystal's been destroyed." the stunned referee announced. "Team G wins."
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
