Flat-Brim Samurai Chapter 53
,"MASSIVE DATA COLLECTION PROCESSING" sounded in a room above the colosseum. Someone in a cybernetically enhanced suit of armor said ,"That's good, what's the synapsis on the technique replication?" ,"TECHNIQUE REPLICATION IS AT 58%, I DO HOWEVER RECOMMEND THAT WE STOP THE MATCHES NOW DUE TO POWER EMANATING FROM THE COLOSSEUM. IT IS ON A LEVEL THAT OUR MAIN CORE GENERATOR CANNOT SUSTAIN AND THE WHOLE CITY INCLUDING THE BARRIER WILL GO ON LOCKDOWN, CAUSING THE NEED FOR YOU TO POWER IT ALL FOR BACKUP." ,"Noted, but I will not stop the match," ,"UNDERSTOOD."
BAAMM BAAAAMM KABOOOOM Noah punched at Apollo, Right hook, Apollo ducked, left roundhouse, Apollo redirected it and stepped in to counter with two hooks to the stomach and one upper cup BAM BAM BAAAAM. Noah grabbed Apollo around the lat, turned his back to him, grabbed his wrist and threw him to the ground (O Goshi) KABOOM. The intensity of the throw and the hardness of the ground amplified the attack by enormous margins. The resulting impact broke Apollo's back, skull and neck BOOF CRACK. Apollo then fell unconscious.
… (Dark, it's just so dark, where am I?) He was in a void, floating in nothingness. He looked around (Why am I here? Oh right, Noah hit me with that throw and I must be unconscious right now). His disappointment and resentment for himself sent him into a flurry (HOW COULD I HAVE FAILED AGAIN, I TRAINED SO HARD AND WORKED MY ASS OFF). He grabbed each side of his head and pulled on his hair (AAAAAHHHHHH). Then his screaming came to a halt, he saw a green light. (Oh I see, so this is what I have to do) He reached out his hand and flew towards the energy. (If Noah's gauntlets are desires materialized, then I should put my soul on display as well) He then grabbed the energy.
,"NOAH IS THE… Wait, APOLLO'S NOT DONE JUST YET!!!" Apollo stood up with an energy coming from his hands, it turned itself into a katana, his own spiritual weapon. Noah looked at Apollo with a smile ,"So you've done it too" ,"Yeah you fuck, c'mon and fight me." A sound roared from the speaker system ,"TWO NUCLEAR LEVEL ENTITIES WITHIN THE ARENA DETECTED, EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!!!" This caused many people to go into panic and move out of the arena ,"Since we got the room to ourselves now, let's exercise this weapon of yours." Apollo and Noah then dashed towards each other.
Apollo raised his sword up, Noah charged up a hook. Each meter that they covered meant more of their energy meshed together, causing massive amounts of destruction before they even clashed. Apollo slashed down and Noah punched at Apollo's katana BOOOOM. The shockwave broke the barrier and overloaded the generator, causing the whole city to go into backup mode. Apollo kept his distance to get away from Noah to land safe slashes STIK SLASH STIK. Noah grabbed the blade and hit Apollo with an uppercut to the stomach BAAAM. Apollo frontkicked and pulled his sword away so that he could regain control over his katana.
Apollo slashed at Noah's neck, Noah blocked this but Apollo brought back his sword and slashed at his stomach TIK SLOOSH. Apollo stabbed Noah with his sword pushed off Noah with his leg. Noah punched Apollo across the jaw three times and roundhoused him on the temple. Noah was on the attack and Apollo redirected the strikes by tilting his sword to guide the blows out of the way. Apollo slashed at Noah's thighs and then his biceps in one stroke of his sword. Apollo jumped back and activated Art: Water Wave many times. Noah caught all of them out of the air, dashed at Apollo and took him down with a double leg take down. Noah slid back to Apollo's leg and held Apollo in an ankle lock.
Noah broke Apollo's ankle CRACK ,"AAAAHHHHH!!!" Apollo screamed as he stabbed Noah's throat STIK, Noah grabbed either side of the blade and held out his tongue as he pushed it out and healed the wound. Apollo rolled backwards and stood back up after healing his ankle. Apollo held his sword in front of him, breathed out, stepped sideways and forwards to close distance. He sliced away at Noah but he just continued to step forwards like the maniac that he was. ,"Do you ever stop?" Apollo asked, Noah replied ,"Not really, it's one of my worst qualities!!!"
