As Akira is falling the Elevator shaft he activities the Forceriser's Force Factory with the Data of a new weapon being quickly being fabricated
Being the experimental weapon being the Thousand Jacker
[ Small Time Skip ]
Cinder steps forward toward Vernal's weakened form, her smirk widening as she relishes her triumph.
Cinder: "Such a shame, Raven. All that planning, all that scheming, and yet, here we are. You'll have to watch as I—"
A deafening crash interrupts her. The sound of air being displaced roars through the vault as a figure plummets from above.
Akira lands hard, the shockwave kicking up dust and petals, his armored figure rising like a shadowed phoenix.
Akira: "It seems I've arrived just in time."
Cinder's eyes narrow as she takes in the unfamiliar figure, her confusion apparent.
Cinder: "And who might you be? Another foolish pawn trying to play hero?"
Akira doesn't answer immediately, instead pulling back the Force Executor on his Forceriser.
The metallic whine of activation fills the vault as the Forceriser announces:
Forceriser: [ Rising Dystopia ! ]
A pulse of crimson and black energy erupts from Akira, radiating sheer aggression.
He charges forward with explosive speed, catching Cinder off guard.
Before she can fully react, his fist connects with her midsection, sending her flying backward and slamming into the vault's massive doors.
Cinder lets out a gasp as the impact dents the door behind her. She struggles to her feet, her smirk replaced with a snarl.
Cinder: "You'll regret that."
Akira flips a switch on the Thousand Jacker , the blade's edges glowing with an ominous purple energy.
Thousand Jacker: [ Thousand Jacker ! ]
Cinder's brow furrows as she senses the weapon's capabilities, but she's still unaware of its true nature. She lunges at him, flames igniting around her arm. Akira sidesteps her attack and drives the Thousand Jacker into her side.
Thousand Jacker: [ Jackrise ! ]
A surge of energy bursts forth as the weapon extracts her Semblance, its power being absorbed into the device.
Cinder stumbles, her flames flickering and faltering as confusion and anger twist her expression.
Akira: "Interesting. So this is your Semblance. Let's see how it feels in my hands."
He lifts the Thousand Jacker, now charged with Cinder's stolen ability, and points it at her.
Flames erupt from the blade, a controlled yet menacing inferno that mirrors her own.
Cinder's confidence wavers as she realizes what has just happened.
Cinder: "What… What did you do?!"
Akira: "I took what I needed. Unlike you, I have to build my power from nothing. No gifts. No shortcuts. Just relentless, unforgiving ingenuity."
He steps closer, flames trailing behind him as the blade scorches the ground. His voice is a low growl.
Akira: "Now, let me show you how I wield your flames."
With a flick of the Force Executor, Akira activates a finisher.
Forceriser: [ Rising Utopia ! ]
A surge of green and yellow energy envelops Akira as he launches into the air.
Cinder tries to defend herself, conjuring a wall of flame, but her power is unstable and incomplete.
Akira's kick pierces through the defense, landing squarely against her chest.
The resulting explosion sends her skidding across the ground.
Cinder coughs, smoke rising from her battered form. She struggles to stand, glaring at Akira with unmasked hatred.
Cinder: "You'll regret this. Do you have any idea who you're dealing with?!"
Akira: "You're just another obstacle. And obstacles are meant to be removed."
He turns his attention to Raven, who is still partially encased in ice, and Vernal, who lies wounded but conscious on the ground.
His gaze lingers on Raven, his expression darkening.
Akira: "You. I didn't forget about you."
Raven, now free from the ice, grips her katana tightly, her eyes locking with Akira's.
There's a moment of tense silence, broken only by Vernal's labored breathing.
Raven: "Kid you should've just stayed back on the surface this is not your battle"
Akira: "You don't get to decide that, Raven. You think you can manipulate everyone around you and walk away unscathed? Not this time."
Cinder, still reeling, takes the opportunity to retreat a few steps, her mind racing.
She's never faced someone who could take her powers. But even as fear creeps in, her ambition burns brighter.
Cinder: "This isn't over. I'll make you suffer for this…"
Thousand Jacker: [ Jacking Break ! ]
A blazing torrent of crimson and gold energy surges along the blade, combining Cinder's stolen flames with Akira's own deadly precision.
He slashes downward in an arc, sending a shockwave of fiery destruction toward Cinder. She barely manages to shield herself with her Grimm arm, but the attack still forces her backward, the heat searing her skin and singeing her outfit.
Cinder:"You... insolent *pest*! I'll burn you to ashes!"
She gathers what remains of her strength, flames roaring around her body, and charges at Akira in a final desperate attempt to overpower him.
Akira calmly braces himself, flipping open the Sting Scorpion Progrisekey and inserting it into his Attache Shotgun.
Sting Scorpion Progrisekey: [ Poison ! ]
Attache Shotgun: [ Progrisekey confirmed. Ready to utilize. Scorpion's ability. ]
Akira pulls the trigger, and a massive burst of super-compressed energy explodes from the shotgun, dispersing into a cloud of venomous, purple-hued shards.
The impact is devastating. The recoil sends Akira skidding back several feet, but it launches Cinder off her feet entirely.
Her mask shatters upon impact with the blast, revealing the grotesquely scarred left side of her face.
She screams in rage and pain as she tumbles backward, disoriented.
Akira: "You're done, Cinder."
Raven, who had been watching from a distance, steps forward.
Her icy gaze meets Cinder's. The flames in Raven's eyes reignite as she summons her Maiden powers once more.
With a flick of her hand, the temperature in the vault drops sharply, frost forming on the walls and floor.
Raven: "You've caused enough destruction. Time to end this."
She raises her sword, and a massive wall of ice surges from the ground, engulfing Cinder's entire body.
The ice crystallizes rapidly, freezing her into a motionless statue mid-scream.
Cinder's frozen form teeters precariously on the edge of the abyss.
Raven lowers her sword, watching silently as gravity takes hold.
The ice statue plummets into the dark void, disappearing from sight.
For a moment, there's nothing but the sound of the cavern settling.
Akira looks at Raven, his hand tightening around the Attache Shotgun as he takes a step closer. They both glance at Vernal's lifeless form, then back to each other.
Raven: "I assume you're not just here to help."
Akira: "Not quite. You're still a loose end, Raven."
Akira takes out the Rising Hopper Progrisekey out of the Forceriser switch it with the Sting Scorpion Progrisekey
Akira quickly changes armor
Forceriser: [ Forcerise! Sting Scorpion! Break down. ]
The transformation is instantaneous.
Akira's body is enveloped in an ominous suit of sleek black and purple armor, the scorpion motif unmistakable.
His visor gleams as he levels the Attache Shotgun at Raven.
Raven: "If you think I'm handing over this power without a fight, you're sorely mistaken."
Akira: "Good. It wouldn't be fun otherwise."
The two charge at each other, clashing in a symphony of steel, flame, and venom. The battle for the power of the Spring Maiden begins anew.
Author's Note:
