Cherry stops running as she carried Homura to a safe place. She gently d him and starts healing him.
"Just rest Homura. You'll be able to stand in no time."
She looks at the sky while healing Homura.
"You were able to defeat Isamu by yourself. I'm so proud."
Homura chuckles. He gets up slowly. Cherry stops healing him.
"I'm able to move now. Thanks Cherry. But I used up all my aura. It will take a while for it to restore."
"So leave all the fighting to me from now on. There's this other girl, she's a earth disciple. She's very strong. She's after us with her other teammates. They're not as strong as her though."
"Let's defeat her together then."
"No! You need to rest."
Cherry stands up.
"I'll defeat her myself."
"Wait Cherry-"
She runs off to look for the Earth Disciple.
"And she's gone."
The ground starts rumbling under Homura. He quickly stands up but struggles to do so.
"She knew we was here the whole time. She was waiting for us to get separated."
He jumps up and climbs on the tree next to him. The roots of the tree separates from the tree itself causing the tree to fall.
"Well that wasn't a good idea."
Homura jumps off the tree and lands on the ground. Metal spikes start coming out of the ground below him. Luckily, he dodges all of them.
"She already can use metal? Show yourself! Where are you?"
The Earth Disciple comes out from behind a tree.
"Homura Endou. The one who defeated a Prodigy Disciple. Now it's my turn to defeat you."
She runs to Homura and attempts to kick his chest. He blocks it but she goes for a swinging kick to the head which she lands.
Homura loses balance and falls on his right knee. The Earth Disciple slaps her hand on the ground.
"Earth Technique: Metal Spikes!"
Several large metal spikes pierce through Homura's body. Homura starts losing a huge amount of blood.
"What the hell! Are you trying to kill me."
"No. I think it's time I introduce myself before I beat you. My names Toruka, Toruka Ashito."
"I don't care who you are."
Homura tries his hardest to detach himself from the metal spikes. He is successful. He is on the floor losing a lot of blood.
"I'm not done yet!"
His eyes turn to that blazing red again. He suddenly vanishes.
"There's no way he can move that fast while he's that injured."
Homura appears behind Toruka. He knees her back. He then appears in front of her and punches her in the face. She starts flying away. She catches her flight and eyes Homura down.
Homura charges up a fire blast. He then releases it. Toruka puts both of her hands to the ground.
"Earth Technique: Mud Wall!"
A large wall appears in front of Toruka defending her from the blast. The blast is unable to destroy the wall.
"That was close."
Homura runs to the wall with his fist covered with fire. He punches the wall which causes it to be destroyed.
"There's no way he can move that much. I'll admit it, he's way stronger than me."
As Homura is about to punch Toruka, he coughs up blood. He suddenly drops. His bracelet starts glowing. His eyes turn back to its normal colour.
"Finally, your finally done fighting."
"No I'm not."
The bracelet stops glowing.
"What? That's impossible."
Homura chuckles while he's lying down on the ground on a pool of his blood.
"Forest Constraint!"
Branches start growing from the floor and tied up Toruka making her unable to move.
"This could only be one person."
Cherry rushes to Homura. She goes down and starts healing him again.
"You're too reckless Homura. These injuries could be really bad."
"Let me go Cherry!"
Toruka is struggling to be released from the branches.
"Wait till he heals up and then I'll release you."
"How about no waiting at all!"
Toruka screams as she breaks through the branches.
"No way!"
Cherry immediately stops healing Homura and gets ready to fight.
Yoruka dashes towards Cherry. They both get into hand to hand combat. Toruka has the upper hand since she powered up a punch which Cherry can't block. Cherry's arms drop leaving her wide open to any attacks.
Toruka raises her aura in her right fist.
"Earth Technique: Concrete Smash!"
Her aura solidified into concrete. She smashes it onto Cherry's chest causing immense damage. Cherry drops to the floor in shock due to the pain.
She starts coughing and spitting on the floor. She concentrates her aura all around her body. She turns it into healing aura.
Cherry is slowly healing her whole body.
"Yoruka, I'm not done yet."
"Yeah but soon you will be."
Yoruka dashes towards Cherry. More fireworks fly up high in the air.
