Benjamin pulled his hands up from the ground. Corey and Evan were far enough away from him to allow him some time to breathe.
Benjamin looked over to his right to see Miles and Jackie, facing down the barrel of Isaiah's gun. Isaiah, however, didn't pull the trigger. He seemed to be waiting for something. Jackie and Miles hadn't abandoned their stances yet.
The tension was so thick, you could cut it with a sword. I gotta help them Benjamin thought.
Benjamin was about to run over to Jackie and Miles, but Velena stopped him. "What is it?" he asked. "It's a trap," Velena said solemnly.
Lennox joined them landing beside the two. Isaiah suddenly shifted. "Inferno Trigger!!!" Isaiah yelled, pulling the trigger.
The thin beam of antimatter shot from the central shaft once more. It flew at the two with incredible speed.
Benjamin felt something was off, however. He looked around and saw only Evan standing several yards away. Benjamin realized what Isaiah was doing and turned around to warn Jackie and Miles.
It was too late, however. Jackie raised her hands to catch the beam of antimatter.
The beam was right in front of the two when it turned into Corey. Jackie looked dumbfounded. Corey wasn't in place for long. He had inherited the momentum of the beam and slashed straight through Jackie and Miles.
The two teleported to the stands, out of the fight at last. "Finally," he said. Isaiah turned to his remaining three opponents with a ball of antimatter already charged in his hands. "Let's do this," he said.
Isaiah jumped into the air and threw the ball of antimatter down at the three. Benjamin, Velena, and Lennox scattered, moving quickly to avoid getting annihilated. Isaiah's team took advantage of this, moving in to get the eliminations.
Corey rushed at Velena, throwing his scythe and creating a new one. Velena knocked the scythe away before slamming his ax into the ground and sending a wave of vines at Corey.
Corey teleported to the scythe and slashed at Velena. Velena turned and blocked the attack with his ax and slashed at Corey, who was knocked back.
Corey skidded on his feet and spun his scythe in his hands. Glass shards began to form in the air and fly towards Corey. Velena watched carefully as Corey formed a giant knight.
The knight had a sword in hand as Velena stared up at the towering figure. "I won't be outdone so easily," Velena said. Velena began to glow. His aura grew in size and soon began to overtake the entire gym. A massive tree sprouted from the ground in front of him, reaching all the way up to the gym ceiling.
Velena took his ax and slashed through the tree, cutting it down in one swing. Velena grabbed the tree in his hands and swung it at the knight.
The tree moved slowly at first but quickly picked up speed. The tree slammed into Corey's knight, shattering it into pieces. Mirror shards rained down on the battlefield as Velena landed. The tree soon disappeared after that, evaporating into white smoke.
Velena looked around. He couldn't see Corey anywhere.
That's when Corey jumped out of one of the mirror shards at Velena. He slashed at him, catching Velena on the cheek.
Velena watched Corey jump through another shard. He looked up. With so many shards, Corey could come from any direction.
Velena slashed his ax, creating a shockwave that cleared a path in front of him. He ran through the raining glass, blocking Corey's strikes whenever he appeared.
Benjamin and Evan clashed swords repeatedly. Since Benjamin was under constant fire from Isaiah, he couldn't stay in one spot for too long. Evan dashed at Benjamin and slashed his sword. Benjamin didn't account for Evan's speed and nearly got his shoulder sliced.
Evan stopped time. He ran to the other side of Benjamin and slashed him in his back. When Evan unfroze time, the effects of his attack instantly came to fruition, causing a massive cut to open Benjamin's back. The wound healed almost instantly, but this didn't stop Evan from continuing his assault. Evan used his stand to summon swords that he directed to slash Benjamin.
"I'll show you for holding back," Evan said, anger in his voice. Benjamin tried to reply but was caught in the cheek by an oncoming sword. Benjamin had had enough. He channeled his shadows and unleashed a six-fold strike. Evan stopped time and easily got out of the way before slashing Benjamin across the chest. The wound that had been inflicted healed immediately once more. Slowly but surely, Evan was pushing Benjamin back.
Benjamin took notice of this and prepared himself. When Evan slashed at him, he pivoted and slashed with his sword, hitting Evan in the chest. Evan jumped back, clutching at the black wound. Benjamin was ready to press the attack but was hit in the head by a spinning mace.
Isaiah had flung nightfall at Benjamin, blasting Benjamin back. Isaiah landed beside Evan and asked, "Are you okay?" Evan shrugged it off and lunged back at Benjamin.
Isaiah then goes to face Lennox. Isaiah was able to dodge most of Lennox while uses the explosion from the antimatter to propel himself.
Lennox was continually boosting his speed, trying to keep up with Isaiah. Isaiah was using All-Black to shoot at Lennox when he came close. I need to increase my speed, Lennox thought. Charles grew his claws.
I need a good swing, he thought. Lennox suddenly dived at Isaiah, drawing back his fist. Isaiah began to charge his blast and shoot an abnormally strong wave of antimatter. Three shockwaves emitted from. Isaiah then used his ability to propel himself above Lennox.
Isaiah then shot an antimatter bullet downward at Lennox. "Reinforcement," Lennox said as shot hit him spiking him toward the ground. Lennox slammed into the ground, kicking up debris and making a crater. He got up and looked up at Isaiah and found himself running away.
