Near the Grava City tower, an ongoing battle between Ego and Mr.Mink has been brought closer to the center of the city.
Both combatants are running along the street, going back and forth with attacks. Ego has a few bruises on his body, mostly on his face, and Mr.Mink has zero signs of damage on his body.
"Hey, man of chaos. I thought you were pissed! Why am I still so much in one piece?" Ego screams with a psychotic look in his eyes.
Ego rushes at Mr.Mink and throws a kick at Mr.Mink. Mr.Mink dodges the kick, blocks two punches, and pushes Ego back.
"I was able to lead Ego out of the main residential area while keeping the destruction and lost lives to a minimum!" Mr.Mink thinks to himself as he punches Ego in the gut.
"Ha, yeah, fight harder, Invincible!" Ego screams as he vanishes and reappears behind Mr.Mink with a golf club.
Mr.Mink dodges the golf club, smacks it out of Ego's hand, and then chokes slams him to the ground.
"This battle is going in my favor at the moment, but I can't help but feel that there is something bigger at play than just these strong fighters gathering together for one dagger, especially with that L.T.O. thing Ego mentioned earlier. My students, wherever you are, I hope you're all safe!" Mr.Mink exclaims in his head.
At the same time, on the other side of Grava City Tower, Unkown awakens after taking a devastating blow from Killer.
"Ouch... I lived through that." Unknown says to himself.
"Yes, of course you did. You're lucky I'm here," Seth remarks as he continues to encase Unknown's wound in ice.
"What are you doing?" Unknown asks in a struggling tone.
"I'm using my ice to stop your bleeding; it's not going to last forever and might be a little unhealthy, but at least it will last until we get you to someone like Doc," Seth says with a confidant tone.
"Wait, won't it melt?"
"No, as long as I still have OGI in the tank, the ice should stay frozen," Seth says as he completes freezing Unknown's wound.
"Thanks, Seth, but where's Kage?" Unknown asks with a concerned expression.
After hearing Unknown's question, Seth looks forward and points straight.
Unknown looks to where Seth points and sees Kage in a one-on-one with Killer.
Currently, Killer has no weapons in his hands and is using hand-to-hand combat.
"Unknown, put in all that effort to get those guns out of your hands. I'm not wasting this opportunity," Kage screams with a ferocious look on his face.
Kage jumps into the air and, with both hands, sends out multiple slashes of energy.
"Energy cutter!"
Killer avoids every energy cutter and gets to where Kage is going to land on the ground.
"Damn it!" Kage exclaims.
Kage attempts to use energy jet to get away, but it's too late. Killer jumps up, uppercuts Kage, and then grabs him by the arm.
"Let go, asshole!"
Kage points the bottom of both of his feet at Killer's chest.
"Energy jet!"
Kage releases a constant blast of energy from his feet in an attempt to get away while also damaging Killer.
"Fuck! This bastard won't move an inch, even with his chest getting destroyed by my energy jet and his grip on my arm; it keeps getting stronger!" Kage says in a struggling tone.
"..."
With no emotion in his eyes, Killer pulls Kage toward him and then brutally slams him into the ground.
"Ahh!" Kage screams in pain.
Killer then kicks Kage in the stomach, and as he's flying down the street, Killer jumps up and stomps on his head with both feet.
"Ahhh! He's powerful even without the guns!"
With Kage's head bleeding, Killer kicks him in the face.
"..."
With the sense technique, Killer feels Seth and Unlnown coming from behind. Killer moves out of the way of Seth's icicles and then jumps off of Unknown's head to get behind them.
"I'm starting to get the feeling the reason why this guy hasn't pulled out another gun is not because we knocked them out of his hands," Unknown says with a serious expression.
"Yeah, he probably realized he doesn't need them," Seth shouts.
"..."
Killer whips a metal double-pointed staff out of the pouch on his belt and gets into a fighting stance.
"Great, now he has a giant toothpick!" Unknown remarks.
"For fucks sake, I hate these damn feared legends!"
Both Unknown and Seth look back and see Kage standing up even after the damage he has taken.
"First Hunter, then Nubuki, and now this bitch! All of them sit there and underestimate me!"
"Upper class fake, what are you on about now?" Seth says in a snarky tone.
Kage begins to remember something Selena said to him while they were training his powers before the tournament.
"Now that we know you can manipulate different types of energy, like heat energy and chemical energy, your fighting style should become more creative. Think about it like this: anything with even a hint of a certain energy should be able to bend to your will if you master all types of energy," Selena says with enthusiasm.
After remembering the words from Selena, Kage also remembers the powerful red bullet that Killer shot Unknown with.
"Any type of energy, huh?" Kage says with a smirk.
Killer rushes toward the boys with staff in hand.
"Seth! Unknown! I have a plan! Keep attacking Killer nonstop!" Kage exclaims with a focused tone.
"Tch, we were going to do that anyways," Seth screams as he rushes forward with Unknown following.
"I wonder what Kage's plan is. He never has a plan. It must be good, right?"
Seth creates and launches two huge ice boulders at Killer. Killer uses the sharp ends of his staff to slice both boulders in half.
Unknown gets in close and throws two kicks at Killer. Killer weaves both kicks and stabs one end of her staff into Unknown's shoulder and smacks him across the face. While Unknown is still dazed, Killer pulls his staff out of his shoulder and then puts it behind Unknown's neck.
"This isn't going to be good!" Unknown says as he sees Killer raise his knee.
Killer pulls the staff toward him and slams his knee into Unknown's face, damaging his nose.
Unknown falls to the ground, and instantly Seth and Ksge jump in.
"Energy cannon!"
"..."
Killer avoids the energy cannon, and then Seth attempts to hit Killer with two long icicles. Killer blocks one icicle with his staff and, with one end of the staff, breaks the icicle in Seth's left hand.
"..."
Killer leaves two slashes on Seth's chest and then blocks a kick from Kage with his left foot.
Killer elbows Kage in the face and then deflects an energy beam with his staff.
"Nothing works on this motherfuker?" Kage shouts angrily.
Seth freezes ice around his fingers and attempts to scratch the back of Killer's head.
Killer catches one of Seth's hands by the wrist and throws him out of his personal space.
"Energy multi-shot!" Kage shouts.
With the accelerate technique, Killer avoids each energy beam and swings his staff at Kage.
Kage ducks the staff, but suddenly a red and white target appears on his left shoulder.
"What is this?"
Suddenly Killer's staff pauses mid-air and swings downward toward the target on Kage's shoulder. The staff leaves a huge slash on Kage's left shoulder, causing blood to squirt out.
"Ahh! What the hell was that? His level two power?" Kage asks himself.
Killer punches Kage to the ground.
Suddenly Killer hears a trigger get pulled.
Killer turns around and spins his staff in a circular motion, blocking multiple bullets.
When Killer looks closely, he sees Unknown with a large machine gun with a grenade launcher attached, which he picked off the ground.
"I can't hit you, so I'll just use your weapon against you!" Unknown yells.
As he is shooting the large machine gun, Unknown also shoots a grenade at Killer, forcing him to dodge.
Killer jumps out of the way of the grenade and then lands on ice.
"..."
"Got your bitch ass now!" Seth shouts.
Suddenly Killer's feet freeze to the ground, and Seth creates a giant club of ice and smacks Killer in the back of the head with it so hard the ice club breaks.
"Would your head crack open already?" Seth asks with an annoyed tone.
Seth slams his foot on the ground and sends multiple shards of ice flying toward Killer while Unknown shoots two more grenades at him and Kage shoots multiple energy bombs at him as well.
"..."
Killer attempts to move his legs, but they are still frozen on the ground.
Every attack hits its mark, causing a giant explosion.
"Did we get him?" Unknown asks as he drops Killer's gun on the ground now that the magazine is empty.
"Don't you know once you ask that question, the villain always gets up dumbass!" Kage remarks.
"This isn't some movie; you really are an idiot," Seth says in an aggressive tone.
From the fire caused by their collisions of attacks, Killer stands up and begins walking out of the fire with minimal injuries, but his clothes are tattered.
"..."
"Who's a dumbass now dumbass!" Kage shouts cockily.
"Shut up already!" Seth says with an agitated tone.
Killer rushes out of the flames, and with accelerate technique and with the wind smacking across his body, the flames on his body dissipate.
With imesaruble speed, Killer gets in front of Unknown and smacks him backward with the flex technique.
"Ahhh!"
He then backflips to Seth and, with both feet, kicks him in the stomach.
As he gets knocked back, Seth throws ice shards at Killer. Killer begins to rush toward Kage while avoiding all the ice shards.
Kage sends out multiple slashes of energy and energy bombs at Killer, but he avoids them with ease.
"..."
"For fuck sake! Energy shotgun!"
Kage shoots a shockwave of energy at Killer.
"..."
Killer takes the attack head-on and continues running forward.
Killer punches Kage down to the ground and then prepares for the finishing blow.
"Cryo freeze!" Seth screams as he releases a zero-degree blast of ice at Killer's back.
Killer senses the attack coming and jumps out of the way.
While in the air, Killer turns around and sees Seth getting into a fighting stance. Killer then proceeds to pull out the same pistol with red liquid in the magazine that he shot Unknown with.
"..."
"Shit! That gun again!" Seth and Unknown scream.
Killer pulls the trigger, and after a boiling sound, the gun fires. Seth begins to run out of the way of the bullet, but then...
"This is exactly what I was waiting for!" Kage screams.
Kage uses energy jet and flies directly in front of the red bullet.
"Think about it like this: anything with even a hint of a certain energy should be able to bend to your will if you master all types of energy," Selena repeats in Kage's head.
Kage puts his right palm in front of the red bullet with a focused expression.
"I need to just recognize the chemical composition within this weird bullet and control it!" Kage says in his head within a split second.
The red bullet slightly touches Kage's palm, and it burns off the skin of his right hand.
"Ahh— no I have to focus or I'm dead!" Kage shouts in a desperate tone.
The red bullet pauses mid-air while halfway through Kage's palm.
"I did it! I can manipulate it with chemical energy manipulation!" Kage yells with a ferocious expression as he strengthens his stance.
Killer lands on the ground and tilts his head in confusion as he sees Kage hold the red bullet in his hand.
"..."
"Yeah! My energy beams might not be strong enough to damage you, but let's see how you like your own attack. You feared legend, bitch!"
"No, way that upper-class fake stopped that attack," Seth says with a shocked expression.
"Yeah, Kage do it!" Unknown shouts with an encouraging tone.
The red bullet in Kage's hand blasts out of his hand like an energy beam.
"Energy deflect!"
Killer attempts to run from the red beam with the accelerate technique, but the beam quickly catches up and engulfs his entire body.
"..."
The red beam explodes, causing a giant explosion so big it can be seen throughout the city.
"Let's go!" Kage roars confidently.
With blood pouring from his skinless right hand, Kage falls to the ground.
"Ok, I didn't think it would screw up my hand like this. shit!" Kage says in pain.
Suddenly, ice starts to surround his injured hand. Kage looks up and sees Seth encasing his right hand in ice.
"Don't say I ain't never done anything for you asshole," Seth remarks.
"Yeah, yeah, you can talk all you want, but you would be dead without me!"
Unknown runs over to Seth and Kage with a happy expression.
"I can't believe we just beat a feared legend! That guy was out of this world strong!" Unknown says in a positive tone.
As Unknown runs to Kage and Seth, he notices someone running toward Grava City Tower by jumping roof to roof.
"Wait, is that Elias?"
Once Unknown asks his question, Seth and Kage look to the roofs and see Elias jumping from roof to roof.
"Yeah, it is, and he's beat the fuck up; he almost looks a breath away from death," Seth says with a judgmental tone.
"Wait, what's that in his hand?"
After hearing Kage's question, everyone looks at Elias's right hand.
"A level three dagger!" all three of them scream with shocked expressions.
Suddenly from the crater, Kage left with his attack. Killer jumped out of it and instantly began to chase after Elias.
"..."
"There's no way I made an entirely new move, and this bastard is still not even injured!" Kage says with an aggravated tone.
Elias, with Killer in heavy pursuit, begins to get closer to Grava Tower.
"Hey, Kage, do you think that dagger is the same from the underwater sea cave?" Unknown asks.
"Yeah, it has to be; that's why Killer is after Elias now!" Kage responds.
"Well, clearly we can't just sit here and let Killer get his hands on the dagger; that would be worse than Kage having it," Seth says with a serious tone and expression.
"Shut up, Seth! But I hate to admit it, but you're right."
Kage gets back onto his feet, and all three bots with multiple injuries begin to run after Killer and Elias.
"Maybe we can team up with Elias to beat Killer; he's pretty strong too!" Unknown speaks with an unchanging expression.
"Yeah, I hate to need so much help, but Killer is like a damn robot; I can't even tell if he feels pain or not," Seth says in an earnest tone.
Kage begins to think about all the attacks he used against Killer up until this point.
"I don't care who we team up with! I'm going to stuff 500 more energy beams down that bastard's throat until he stays down!"
