*clang* *clang* *clang*
The sound of spears and swords clashes in the sky.
*bang*
Was the sound of one of Mike's weapons firing.
#Gamma Ray#
2 figures flash away from each other just before Gamma Ray came down before once more flashing towards each other and repeating their fight.
*clang* *clang* *clang*
Of course, this is how it seemed to the average spectator.
However, just from gazing at their energy one would know there are far more effects occurring than what meets the eye.
When it comes to speed, Cain is one step faster than Mike, his spear can not only block the first strike of Mike's but also with the use of some energy block the second strike fluidly.
*bang*
#Gamma Ray#
The 2 separate once more and come back in.
Slowing down, the first thing one would notice is tiny arrowheads poking out of Mike's body, that was Destructive Arrows that are soon to be shot at Cain.
Just as they shot forward, similarly tiny barriers appear in front of Cain, that was Order: Border, effectively blocking Mike's attack.
With the momentum of the 2, their first attacks came at the same time.
Devil's blade strikes forward first being one step faster than Angel, it came down to intercept the spear that was aimed at his heart.
*clang*
A second later and it would've pierced his heart. Luckily, the sword came down clashing with the spear and the impact causes Devil to rebound up while the spear was pushed down.
At this time, Mike takes a step forward just in time, his Angel would bring forth a long slash across Cain's chest splitting his body into 2, assuming Cain fails to stop it.
#Tailwind#
#Destroy Move#
Despite Mike quickly countering with Destroy to prevent Tailwind from affecting Gae Dearg, it still had minimal effect before Destroy could occur.
A short yet powerful breeze pushes it further back and Cain simply lets go and shifts his shoulder. The spear current at a 150degree angle makes a full spin all the way back to 45 degrees where Cain grabs his spear and uses it to push aside Mike's Angel.
*clang*
Cain pulls back his spear and stabs forward and at the same time, Mike's Devil was once more coming back down.
*clang*
Once more the spear was pushed down and Devil was rebounded up, however, there was an added variable. Angel had found itself held like the gun it is, the nuzzle pointing at Cain and...
*bang*
The shot fired from Angel was nothing he could stop, Order: Border Coat could and is exceptionally good against Destruction energy, however even if the Destructive effect leaves the quality, quantity, and boost brought about by being fired by Angel is still enough to break the barrier and critically injure if not kill.
If one's critically injured death is the only thing that awaits as well.
#Gamma Ray#
#Curse of Repulsion#
With curses already attached to himself, it only took a thought for their activation, and the fact that he's willingly giving a curse energy made its effects even better. Moreover, Gamma Ray was more set on Mike than it was on himself, he was able to push himself out of harm's way before it hits him.
As for Mike's escape?
A preplanned Destructive Step was used around the same time he had fired from Devil.
Being the conceptual god of destruction using destruction moves as much easier for him. Though when it comes to APF (Attacks Per Frame) nobody can compare with Necrozma even her new form, Gold.
Once more separating from each other, unwillingly Cain goes back in for another round.
Destructive energy can be quite annoying without the right counters and seemingly Progenitor Arceus had all of them.
'Destructive Gamma Ray has a nice ring to it, don't you think,' Mike said.
Mike had intended to create some destructive arrows and shoot them around the items that were negating his Destructive energy in the area around Cain's satellite. To prevent this not only Cain can't retreat but he must also stay in close combat against Mike.
Without numbers, he isn't sure how they would get to kill Mike. In such a case, they did need Kyurem's help.
Once more the 2 appear in front of each other and the same scene occurred.
*clang*
Mike unlike his previous choices chooses to let go of Devil to prevent his hand from moving with the rebound. That same hand stretches forth to grab his spear.
If grabbed, it'll be destroyed and that's the game. That hand of Mike's would get cut off soon after thanks to Angel, but he can heal from that.
#Curse of Repulsion#
Cain's body pushes back pulling away his spear out of Mike's reach.
*bang*
Devil despite not being in hand shot forth a beam of destructive energy, now called Destructive Shot.
Mike's hand was cleanly cut off by Angel, spinning in the air while spraying out blood.
#Destructive Blood#
#Gamma Ray#
Sending Gamma Ray a little earlier than usual to prompt their retreat, Cain having more time uses Shadow Flash to avoid the Destructive Blood. Mike on the other hand...
Before Gamma Ray was ready and just after the first 360 spin midair, Mike tosses Angel into the air above him before grabbing his hand and reattaching it to his body.
#Destructive Step#
Gamma Ray came down just as Angel shot a Destructive Shot at it, this should at least prevent Angel from getting destroyed as for Devil it was blown back from the recoil of firing.
#Destructive & Spiritual Fist#
Mike's fist slams into Cain's stomach but Order: Border Coat blocks most of the damage. However, his body lowering due to spiritual pain give Mike the chance to grab him by the neck.
"It's about time," Mike said staring at Cain emotionlessly. Cain fearlessly stares back, there's no hint of struggle not because he didn't want to, but because being held by Mike is usually the end.
Destructive energy has already emptied his energy reserves and anytime he attempts to gather any, it would also be destroyed.
Mike's hand coated in Destructive energy clenches tightly, destroying Cain's body before turning his gaze to Gold's battlefield.
As if timing him, Gold had also now killed or at least severely injured someone... No, kill. Especially with that sword in AZ's chest.
"You're now mine, Eternatus," Gold hums looking at the Master Ball in hand. "Energy Bank,"
'Jinchuriki?'
...
Rest in peace Cain.
Your desire to protect the world dies with you, as nobody in this world cares about it.
Arceus cared about the Universe and doing his job.
Mew cared about his entertainment.
Giovanni cared about humanity.
Mike cares about himself.
