Act: 47
"What an entrance? Honestly, do you think you'll be able to beat me!? A 2 star? What a joke! I can feel the laughter building up. How come I have a hard time believing this?"
Shizu looked around the room, now convinced that they weren't waiting around to see who could reach the ruins first. Instead, this seemed to be the opposite of a race. A blood bath. He turned back to Daichi and then made eye contact with Taku and Oto.
*He shook his head*
"Don't worry Daichi, I'll take care of this."
"No. Shizu... he's far stronger..."
Daichi collapsed on the ground, his body felt much too weak to move.
Shizu swung his arm behind Takao about 240* degrees to the left, turning his head he saw that Takao had jumped back to keep his distance from the swing. This left Takao surprised; for what was to follow up being a strong gust of wind that grazed past his chin despite avoiding the attack.
"Really? Do you think I'm that dumb Shizu-though I will commend you for your speed."
Takao had appeared behind him, returning the favor only this time he kept his hand out activating one of his close-up attacks, Pm+H launching the explosion off in his face.
*Boom*
The sound of him chuckling echoed menacingly through the room, laughing at how easy this fight had been and how worked up he was for nothing, all that talk leading to an early death. The smoke started to dissipate, and it became much clearer to him. Seeing his hunched-over silhouette.
His face began to tense up with more anger and irritation.
Shizu kicks his legs upward into a backflipping motion landing on his feet. Tilting his head up at Takao, arching his foot and putting heavy pressure on the ground, dashing forward. He moved so quickly that a faint trail left behind his feet. Distressed Takao resorts to putting up a barrier blocking the incoming punch.
Striking back and forth he continued to hit the wall soon realizing it showed no sign of breaking.
"Wanna hide from a 2 Star? Fine, I'll make you come out."
Slamming his fist down and rupturing the ground underneath Takao, had broken it into spit sections but where he had been standing shot upwards causing him to lift in the air. Shizu noticed that his barrier surrounded him like a bubble, quickly jumping in the air, and spinning in a circle. He slammed his heel on the top of the barrier sending a shockwave, so intense it threw Takao and his shield straight back to the ground, completely throwing him off and weakening his control over the barrier.
"That worked, now look who's about to be out of their cage."
Shizu fell towards his body, drilling his fist through the shield, breaking it, and punching his chest with the remaining momentum. Spit flew out of his mouth and onto the ground from the sheer impact of his punch.
Winded from his punch, Takao reached out his left arm and spread out his fingers while looking at him in disgust. A portal materialized over Shizu's shoulder that started small and then became much bigger, catching Shizu off guard as it consumed him. Using both hands, Takao got back up on his feet.
"Pm+H!"
Reaching his arm into where the portal was about to open. His eyes only showed him wanting to kill Shizu and nothing else. Once it opened, he immediately released the attack, spamming it more than once, over, and over until the area became a black cloud.
"Ha! Haha! How did that feel, you weak ass 2 Star! Huh!? Nothing to say as-"
*Pow*
Takao's chin and lips shifted intensely to the left as Shizu's knuckles drilled once more into his face- sending him flying into the wall. Dashing to his helpless body he rotated around kicking him with his left leg which launched him again this time towards the opposite end of the room treating him like a ping pong ball.
Shizu knew this time getting close may result in a bad interaction like before, slamming his fist into the ground he blew a chunk of the flooring up and grabbed it. He chucked it with enough force to blow a hole in the wall that was aimed at Takao.
Another portal opened above Shizu falling from it was Takao, raising his head to react, his body felt light and heavy at the same time. Glancing down he saw that not only did Takao come out of the portal he opened one underneath him.
"Oh shit."
He landed on the ground and opened the portal directly in front of him activating another ability before Shizu could react in time.
"How does my gravity control feel now!"
Watching as Shizu's body fell out of the portal and was now pinned down with his face forcefully crushing the ground. Takao crouched over him laughing like a maniac, proceeding to put his hand over his head.
"How should I kill you? Perhaps by explosion or possibly by my beautiful laser that'll make a mess of you?"
Shizu tried to make eye contact with him but obviously, it was difficult.
"Why so quiet now, haha."
He leaned over a bit more and made eye contact, with Shizu's eyes glaring dead at him.
"Ohh so scary, finally I get to see that ego of yours crushed. Did you seriously think I'd lose to a 2-star like you?"
*Hahaha! *
"I've decided! You'll die by my Pm+H, only because you refused to get hit."
"…"
His tone dropped as low as possible.
"Now die you worthless shit."
*Vrrrnn*
A reddish black beam came out of nowhere blasting Takao in the gut though this beam had control to it. While the beam was hitting Takao it redirected itself in a u-like motion going back to where Ishii and the others were, blasting him in the wall.
"Argh! What the fuck!"
Takao tried to stand up, but his body felt sharp pains shoot throughout, falling back to his knees he looked around confused. Finally noticing Kaneshiro with their Oni mask, standing unharmed.
"How the fuck are you standing! I took care of all of you!"
"…"
They said nothing and only stared back at him.
"Dang it, Kaneshiro-San I had that completely. Now I can't see the look on his face."
Takao jerked his head back at Shizu.
Shizu tensed his body, lifting himself off the ground, breaking out of his gravity attack.
"What! Impossible!"
Takao glared at Kaneshiro and then back at Shizu. Moving his body, he was ready to take on the two of them.
"Fuck it I can handle this any day!"
"So that's it? I was wondering why you never seem to take any damage and not burn through star energy. Taking on our entire class alone seemed almost impossible maybe. Then I remembered teams of two."
Shizu looked over at the girl playing the piano in the corner.
"It's you, that's how? Hey, Kaneshiro-San, take care of Takao for a bit. I'll deal with her. I'm quite sick of his ego."
To respond they nodded their head at Shizu.
