"BASTARDDDD" Mitch yelled shattering through a pillar of ice as he violently slashed at Ania's father who nimbly ducked under the strike in time to see Tom nimbly ducking through the ice sticking up from the ground as he slashed both blades only for the blows to be blocked by the man's hefty wrist sword. Taking advantage while he was distracted by the two Alan snuck up behind and was about to slash both his tonfa's across his opponents back only for Ania's dad to spin around delivering a solid kick to the invisible Alan's face as he reappeared crashing onto the icy ground.
"Really trying to take me one on one let's see how well that goes" he sighed as a blur raced behind him as he leaned back narrowly avoiding Ania's spear from piercing his throat. "Tsk tsk did you really think you could blindside your old man?" ice surrounded her body as it erupted from her body and went to encase him only for a ball of fire to cover his entire body melting all the ice harmlessly away. "Come now did you really think I wouldn't modify myself after seeing the results it had on you, now don't go thinking I'll be gentle on you because you're my daughter" his fist connected with her face as Ania was thrown violently back.
"REGROUP" Alan's voice yelled through the blizzard as Tom and Mitch agreed with him and ran over towards where Ania was lying as they helped her up. Their team leader materialized a moment later "Nice to see you finally listened to me, mind you we could've avoided a bit of pain if you had just done so earlier". "We can't beat my old man he's far to powerful" Ania groaned pushing both boys off her "Nothing is impossible if we work together, now this plan is similar to what we did when we fought that tortoise grimm back in the forest only slightly different". Alan began to explain the plan while Ania's old man had taken a seat on the icy ground "May as well give them a bit of false hope" he chuckled before glancing over at his fallen men "They aren't to shabby though".
Alan disappeared from view as he quietly moved off while Tom stood directly in front of Ania's father as he smirked "Didn't you learn that one on one won't work?". White light emanated from his feet as he propelled himself forward swinging the right katana down as Ania's father nimbly dodged the first swing and then parried the second before lashing out with a violent kick. Bringing both arms up a white shield surrounded his body cushioning the kick but shattered upon having a fist collide with it.
"Now look I'm not one for pep talks" Mitch said as he stood behind Ania who upon staring at her father felt her anger rising as everything around her began to freeze. "I know how annoyed you are but right now we need you to focus and control whatever this power of yours is because we only have one shot and if you lose control we're in trouble" as he placed a hand on her shoulder Ania let out a deep breath and found herself more calm and composed "Far be it from me to say this but thank you".
Tom's body crumpled at their feet as he slowly picked himself up and dusted his armour off "Alright are we all set for the plan to begin?" Ania nodded her head as they saw her old man walking towards them. "Wasn't there another one of you?" in response to his comment a barrage of bullets hit him square in the back as he turned around "Not this Houdini trick again" he sighed turning his back to Ania, Tom and Mitch to deal with Alan.
"As long as I keep moving and keep him distracted the plan will work" Alan thought as he zigzagged back and forth opening fire as Ania's father was slowly trudging towards him his blade raised up deflecting the bullets. "This time when I catch you I'll break your legs so you won't be a pest anymore" he calmly stated lunging towards where Alan had stepped to his arm reaching out to grab the team leader.
"I suggest we do this now" Tom said to Ania who nodded her head as she placed her hand upon his shoulder as he took a deep breath closing his eyes slowing the time around him. Opening his eyes he saw Ania's old man slowly reaching out to grab Alan's leg who upon realizing was trying to dodge but was going to be to late "Now try not to freeze me" Tom mentioned to Ania whose body glowed a bright pink colour as she pushed off the ground racing along at a hyper speed with Tom holding on.
As she sped past her old man a trail of ice erupted behind her encasing his body in ice as both her and Tom stopped moving just as time resumed normally. "What the?" was all Ania's dad said staring at his feet and body frozen in place while Tom and his daughter were on the opposite side of him. "Tsk, tsk naughty girl don't go butting into Daddy's business" he waggled a finger and went to break free only to feel an intense heat wave burning behind him followed by a serious death aura. Clicking the button on the bottom of his handle Tom's katana's opened up as he launched several mines towards Ania's dad as he shattered his arms holding them up to protect his body.
Multiple explosions shook the ground as the ice shattered around him but before the smoke, steam and ice vapour vanished he heard a clicking sound followed by an even more violent explosion that sent chunks of concrete flying into the air and shattering multiple shop windows close by.
"Phew now if he managed to survive that I'd be surprised" Alan said wiping the sweat from his brow as he materialized next to Mitch while Ania and Tom soon ran over. A sinisterly calm chuckle could be heard from the smoking crater as a tall shadowy figure lumbered out from the wreckage a few black scorch marks on his body but otherwise perfectly fine. Before the team could relaunch a counter attack electricity began to crackle from the feet of Ania's father as he vanished a violent gust of wind racing past everyone.
"What the…." Was all Mitch managed to say as a huge gash appeared across his torso and he dropped down to one knee blood splattering onto the pavement. A trail of electricity struck Tom and Alan as they were thrown violently backwards crashing through a glass window and finally Ania was left unharmed. "You kids managed to impress me but still you're no match for me" he chuckled turning back to face Ania "While you have gotten somewhat stronger you're still to weak to call yourself my daughter". He then turned to look at Mitch "As for you boy my name is Kurnaz remember that well". A gust of wind raced past Mitch and Ania again as his three subordinates and the bags of loot they had stolen from the shops vanished completely just as the police came racing over weapons raised.
