''Speak''
'Thought'
____________________________________________
It was a full minute of discussion on what kind of plan they should have, and while Ryu, Mary and Bram were talking to each Jean threw all sorts of objects at them, but all those objects were blocked by Rashomon, making Jean angrier and angrier.
"That's the plan. Do you think you can pull it off?" Mary asks while still dodging the attack from Jean.
"Yes, of course./Certainly." Bram and Ryu said at the same time.
"If that is the case, let's finish this annoying woman!" Mary said
At that moment, Bram rushed toward Jean, the latter who immediately responded by holding her hand out and trying to grab hold. Still, before she could do that, Rashomon appeared from the underground and causing her to dodge it, meaning that Bram was able to close in the distance.
But Jean did not let this get the better of her; she used her power to control the ground, causing Bram to lose his balance, but he immediately jumped into the air and rushed forward, now closing in even more distance.
Jean clicked her tongue, trying to use her power to push Bram down onto the ground, which she succeeded in; however, before Bram's body could hit the ground, he was stopped by Rashomon, who stopped his fall, making him land on top of it.
Running along Rashomon, with an amazing speed, Bram is not in front of Jean, and with a lightning quick speed, he throws a punch at her, but an invisible shield stops it. She tried to use her power on Bram again. However, she was stopped by a blast of lightning coming from the side.
It was Mary who sneaked to the side and was sneakingly trying to find an opening to attack. Before Jean could respond, more punches were thrown at her invisible shield by Bram, while Ryu commanded Rashomon to try to help Bram to destroy the said shield.
Even before Jean could have a chance to retaliate, her shield got destroyed, and a punch was thrown directly at her face sending her flying back while Rashomon tried to pierce her body while she was flying back by the punch.
However, Jean could stop herself mid-air with her power before flying up into the sky, dodging Rashomon, and now she is looking down on the group.
With her enormous power, she tried to lift the whole castle. Still, she was stopped by Rashomon flying toward her, easily piercing through her regenerating weakened shield, causing her to stop and dodge Rashomon.
But Rashomon, instead of retracting back, stay straight, pointing up into the sky. When Jean looks down, she sees only Ryu and Mary on the ground with a smirk instead of seeing the three people she expected.
But what is even more surprising, Ryu is now not wearing his jacket and only wears his white undershirt.

Before she can do anything, Jean can sense someone appearing behind her, and when she looks behind, she sees that Bram had somehow appeared to her while standing on what seems to be a distortion of space itself.
What is even more surprising is Bram's appearance. He is now wearing what seems to be a black coat, boots and gloves, and even more, Jean can see the cracking of red electricity running along his fingers.
Jean tried again to use her power on Bram, but to her surprise, it did not even have a single effect on him. When she tried to use her power to throw more objects at Bram, the space around him suddenly got distorted, and with a glass cracking sound, Bram now appeared behind Jean again.
Eve thought they were in the air; Bram could stand in the air by standing on the crack of space itself.
Jean, who got surprised again by the sudden change in Bram's location, tried to use her power to create a shield to protect her from an attack, however despite her shield being stronger than before, her shield was easily cut through by Bram's black claw, and Jean was barely able to dodge the claw them from the attack.
But when Jean dodged back, a burst of red electricity came out from Bram's palm and shot straight at Jean, who was able to block it with her arms. As a result of how strong electricity is, instead of only burning Jean's arms, it also blasts away one of Jean's arms, causing her to lose one of her arms.

'This feeling! This man is somehow using the boy's power!! And that electricity, he is also somehow using that woman power.' In realisation, Jean tried to keep a distance from Bram, but it was no escape, even with her being in the sky.
As Jean expects, Bram Stoker is now wearing Rashomon with his body being overcharged by electricity from Mary.
Mary's plan is to use Bram as the main piece and her power and Ryu's power as support.
After she sees what Ryu's power is capable of, and sees his power being able to wrap itself around Ryu, Mary immediately thinks that it can also work on other people; not only that, but she also had seen Ryu use it to distort space itself, so she immediately knows what to do.
Charging Bram with her power while Jean was distracted to increase his physical pass limiter to the point where his body can store electricity, Bram can now use that charged in electricity as long he has an electrical charge.
With Rashomon's power, Bram can turn invisible, cut through space, and enhance his destructive power even more.
Combining Bram's natural healing power, strength and speed from his power, it has created a near-perfect warrior.
It is creating a sword that can cut through nearly everything with Ryu power and a shield that can withstand roughly everything with the use of Bram power, and with the versatility of a swiss army knife from Mary power, creating a near-perfect fighter that can be in any situation.
They are making a new sort of power. A new power name...!!

A/N
Well, that's the chapter; usually, I wouldn't say I like making author notes, but I want to tell you all something quite important. I think.
Some of you might probably already noticed, and some of you probably haven't, so let me tell you that if you want to ask me any questions relating to this fic, you can go and ask me in the review section of this novel.
There you will find my review, and you can ask me questions by replying to that said review, and I will answer it. But don't expect me to respond immediately.
So that is what I want to say.
Also, something unrelating to this fic that I want to rant about is the new Bleach anime; one of my favourite shounen series will be on Hulu and, for those outside America, will be on Disney+. So I, being a person who lived in the UK, need to get Disney+ or venture into the seven seas as a pirate, if you get my meaning.
I have only one thing to say about this, and that is... Why?
