Act: 65
The crowd went silent. None said a word, even Hano and his team alongside Taku and Daichi. Each one kept guard, unsure of where he would appear next after vanishing.
"Hm. Is that what my dad was scared of?"
Said Han Chul-Moo.
"Where are you looking. I'm right here?"
Shizu whispered into Taku's ear in his current, mixed, distorted tone.
"The fuck are you whispering in my ear-"
Before he could finish his sentence, Shizu grabbed Taku's entire face and dashed so fast that no one could react. The only noticeable thing was that both bodies vanished until everyone responded to a massive burst from the stadium wall. Shizu, while pinning his head into the wall, began to push his face further and aggressively dragged it around the stadium, leaving a trail of blood behind.
"What's wrong, Taku? Can't move from this 2-star."
Flames fired in his direction, and Shizu, raising his right hand, mysteriously blocked the attacks. He dropped Taku's light-waiting body, and from underneath Daichi, he gripped him by the neck, throwing him up and over his shoulder. While airborne, he kicked him in the gut, sending him across the arena to where Hano had been standing.
Daichi looked up at him, and he muttered a few words. Since the kick he received from Shizu broke a few bones in his ribcage. This newfound power is much worse than he anticipated.
*Help... Please...*
"Heh. You grovel to your king. Girls, go get him."
Shizu vanished again and appeared over Taku once more. Taku tried to get up, but Shizu slammed his foot into his chest and grabbed him by the hair. Leaning closer to him, he began to punch his face excessively, not giving him a chance to lay his head back.
*Woosh*
Chains shot from the ground, causing Shizu to leap back and throw Taku's body aside. He continued to move out of the way, dodging each chain that shot at him. In hopes of catching him off guard, on his left was Chisaka, who charged at him with her sword in hand. He swung his leg around, kicking her in the gut, which flew her away. Although just in time, Hano diverted and caught her, gently setting her down.
While Aikawa kept him busy with the chains that spread released everywhere, he landed.
"I'm not sure how long I can continue this! Hurry it up; he might strike me at any moment!"
Taku and Daichi managed to get back on their feet after slowly recovering. Taku summoned his wand and fired ice in his direction. Daichi held his chest but ignored the pain, and his body lit in flames, which turned blue in an instant. He ran in with Hano and Chisaka once noticing that they were making their move. Hano took the sword out of his sheath.
Shizu grinned.
A menacing chuckle.
Shizu backflipped in place, avoiding the swings from Hano and Chisaka. He sped up the momentum and landed on Chisaka's blade so that he could freely kick, blocking all of the multiple punches Daichi released. Out of the corner of his eye, he hopped down when he noticed ice shooting in his direction. Blocking each one, he redirected them at Hano, which he, too, blocked with his sword. Daichi went in again, pressuring Shizu; he dodged more of the punches and returned the favor by landing a punch of his own, which hit him in the gut so hard that his body flew. Shizu followed through; with his swift speed, he hovered over him in the air, and with a nasty grin, he opened his mouth wide, inhaling all the flames over his body.
A deep, evil, malicious tone.
"I will be taking that for now; you don't need it anymore, do you?"
Daichi was at a loss for words; his expression said it all. He could not comprehend everything that was happening now. Just what kind of situation had they put themselves in? Shizu instantly disappeared, and with both hands, he appeared over Daichi as he got closer to the ground; Shizu finished it off by slamming his interlocked fists on his face, shooting him straight to the ground.
*THUD*
Once more, he vanished again, reappearing in front of Taku, who stumbled in place from shock. Taku got punched repeatedly. He tried to use his wand to smack Shizu but remained useless. Hano ran in, swinging his sword to help him. Shizu back-kicked Taku away. He avoided most of Hano's swings, front flipping over him and dashing away.
"Another fucking kick to the side!"
Taku spat out some blood and sighed, though Hano felt zealous and shouted.
"Running now, Shizu. Come on now, don't be that way."
His eyes flickered.
Standing still, his eyes flickered more, returning to their standard purple color. But suddenly, they turned back to dark gold. He placed his hand down as he saw Chisaka beside him.
"Resurrection. Mar's summon."
When Mars was summoned, it had the same-colored eyes as this Shizu for some reason. Mars's new version has shaper teeth and spiky fur than before. It knew what must be done by turning around and lunging at her to attack.
"It's time to end this."
An odd mist appeared before Taku, and he looked up, terrified. Shizu glared at him and lifted him by the head. Shizu didn't flinch from all the punches and kicks Taku hit him with. His grip tightened, and with no hesitation, he slammed him down onto the ground with so much force his eyes rolled to the back of his head. Blood poured out from his nose, and his body dropped, no longer fighting. Daichi's eyes widened, and he re-ignited his body in flames; in a fury, he ran over to him, but Shizu beat him to it. Daichi threw more punches, though he couldn't land a single one. He tried to fall back but was pulled forward and grabbed by the jaw. In an instant, Shizu dashed! Next to the wall, placing his head against it, and with pure force, the wall cracked and burst, leaving a huge crater splattered with blood. Daichi's head hung into the wall while the rest of his body stuck out, leaving him unconscious.
Both Taku and Daichi's bodies disappeared.
*Taku and Daichi are eliminated, and Shizu is the remaining player on their team. *
"Shizu's eyes turned slowly to those three. Chisaka and Aikawa struggled to take care of Mars. However, Hano walked up to them and grabbed Mars by the head, pulling it up and stabbing it in the neck, which caused it to vanish. Indicating that it was killed.
"You two stop playing around, especially you Aikawa!"
- - - -
Ito Sensei. Watched, speechless as to what was happening. Han Chul-Moo wasn't sure what to think about all of it.
"Hm? Is that really the same person we met back at the tournament halls? That can't be? Right, Rulan??"
"Well, Fabura, if you had allowed us to get photos or more in-depth details about who we were finding, we honestly could've gotten this taken care of sooner rather than nowhere. However, seeing that it is unfamiliar, we should not involve ourselves. For now, we should go; we've gathered what we needed."
"Wait? We did? Huh, when?"
"While you were off doing whatever. I think I put the pieces together. Be prepared for our boss's outbreak when he gets informed."
Fabura's body drooped down, swaying his arms left and right, and in an elevated tone, he said.
"Aw, man... Seriously, can't we take him once their fight ends?"
"If you'd like to die, then sure. Let's take him and see how far we would get."
"Dying? Pff, what are you talking about? I would never die at the hands of a two-star. You got that! Plus, you've seemed to be much more worried recently?"
"Because. I thought about you dying at my expense, and the boss never told us the real matters of this mission. We may end up dying by the big boss man or whatever that freakshow is out there."
"Huh, dying? Please. Rulan, you need to relax. I can take care of things, too; if anything goes wrong, I can get us out in seconds. Ya know."
Fabura acted elegantly, flexing his arms left to right over and over.
'I know Fabura. It's that Shizu kid, and the boss most likely wants you dead since you're a potential threat. My guess would be that he believes you're at his knees, and I don't want to lose you... Like I did my last crew.'
- - - -
One shallow tear fell from his left eye, which was still purple. The tear reached his chin and dropped to the ground.
*drip*
Shizu's body vanished, and he appeared in front of Chisaka. Punching repeatedly at her, she managed to block a few of the punches with her sword, which she kept close to her chest. Hano ran up, swinging his sword at Shizu. In response, he leaped in the air, backflipping over the swing, landing on the ground, and sliding back a bit. However, chains flew from underneath him before he could catch his breath, causing him to flip around and avoid the attacks. One chain flew up from behind, and as he reacted to it, the chain managed to get a good cut on his face. Yet he pulled his head back and dropped to the ground once more.
*Grrrowwwww*
A yell that sounded out of this world. He grabbed the chains coming from the ground and pulled up as hard as possible. Some other chains dug into his skin and cut all around his arms and back. When he pulled, Aikawa's body shot to the floor, slamming her head abruptly and causing her chains, in effect, to disappear.
Shizu looked up and saw Hano and Chisaka swinging their swords at his head.
*EXECUTION! *
