Chapter 13 - Neo City Domain

I struggle to maintain the barrier of black electricity that surrounds me, as the intense force of the explosion of blue flames erupts all around me. 

I can hear the intense crackle and burn of the flames around me- until it stops. I wait a moment, before clearing away the barrier, and my eyes were met with horror.

As far as the eye could see…there was nothing. Just an empty dustbowl where the city sector once stood. I sprouted my wings, diving down from my floating perch, in search of-

BAM

I was sent crashing down to the ground, creating a crater in my wake. I quickly look up, seeing the wicked figure of Senpai.

I fall limp to the ground.

How the hell could I beat her?!

I look around, my vision shaky. I see the bloodied body of Enshi on the ground adjacent to me.

" He-he…"

I look up. Senpai was laughing. " KAHAAHA!!" Her shrill cackle was nothing but an echo in my mind. I slowly stood up, a million thoughts racing in my mind.

FWOOM

Another punch to my side. At this point, I couldn't feel it. It was just an extension of my inner pain where I stood mentally. I once more attempt to stand up after the impact- but am once again met by Senpai's flaming fist. I spit out blood.

What the hell was I doing?! My friend was going to be held captive for the rest of his life- the friend that SAVED MY LIFE. And what was I doing? I was losing to some stupid f**king bunny girl!

I WOULD beat her.

I WOULD BEAT HER.

My eyes burst into black energy again, dust swirling and immolating around me, shifted by the sudden surge of energy.

Earth broke and cracked, giving way to sudden surges of electricity.

The rumbling was proportionate to the magnitude of an earthquake. All around me, buildings of electricity rose from the earth, encircling and surrounding the area where metal ones used to stand. This transformation continued for what felt like an eternity- until I was standing in the center of an electrical city.

Senpai let out her shrill laugh once more, before leaping forward- only to be slammed to the side by a sudden beam of electricity. She attempted to stand up, but the strikes were unrelenting; again and again and again. 

There was no rest.

A smile perked at the corners of my mouth.

If the city was gone…why not recreate it?

" Neo City Domain!!"

While this technique was incredibly powerful, it left me completely incapacitated. I could barely move due to the amount of energy I was outputting.

My eyes catch a glimpse of movement.

A figure rose from the ground.

It was senpai

. As she ejected from the ground, her mighty leap leaving a crater where she stood, a mass of blue energy formed in her fist- before she struck the air with this blue flaming punch. The force was nothing short of amazing.

The air rippled and seemed to break under this force. I quickly morphed a black shield around me, blocking the force. 

Without thinking, my hands enact a series of hand symbols, before eight draconic heads erupted from those very same hands. They burst forward, their sights set on their target- the busty anime waifu.

Senpai dodged and weaved through the heads, punching where she could- but was soon caught in the swarm of draconic electricity.

I clap my hands together. " Raijin."

The mass of energy explodes in a burst of black sparks, ejecting senpai from the pack, her smoking body falling to the ground. 

Her head jerks toward me, her pink eyes locking in on me.

I make a coyote symbol with my hand. " Clasp"

The buildings of electricity fall forward, collapsing onto Senpai, electrifying every facet of her body- until they all exploded.

Jumping out from the explosion was the bunny waifu, Senpai.

Shit! I was unprotected! I attempt to create another barrier, but it's shattered to pieces.

"Sabers of mass destruction!!"

From all sides, blades of glowing silver stabbed into Senpai's body. I look toward the source of the scream, and see a shakily standing Enshi. Senpai's body erupts into blue flame, the soul energy melting the swords and cauterizing her wounds-

" QUEEN OF DIAMONDS!!"

An explosion of white energy erupts from Senpai's side, as the razor sharp, glowing white sword of queen of diamonds slashed her side open, sending her tumbling to the ground. Wielding this blade, was a man with green and black Jordans- except his mask was gone, revealing his scar-ridden face.

I enact more hand signs as Senpai swings a punch at Gin- and as I do this, a large titan of an electrical monster appears on the horizon of the domain. " Black Gojira!" 

The reptilian beast exhales a beam of the very same electricity it is made out of, searing and burning through Senpai's flesh.

" Soldiers swarm of a million wars!!"

A loud noise sounds from the ground, as hoards of armor-clad zombies rise from the ground, and charge Senpai's incapacitated body.

The zombies swarm the body of Senpai, before being expelled, and launch in all directions by her godly force.

Senpai's fists burst alight with blue flame, before stabbing them into the ground- uprooting my domain, eviscerating it.

I focus all of my energy, attempting to reform the domain-

WHAM

I am sent flying-

WHAM

I-

WHAM

WHAM 

WHAM

I can't even hear my own thoughts. She had regained her advantage. We no longer had the element of surprise. I look up, no longer seeing Enshi's hoverboard…but I do hear his scream.

SLAM

I witness his body being launched into the ground where a gallant city once stood. Gin swings once more with Queen of Diamonds, but his blade is shattered, and Senpai grabs him by the neck, throwing him over the horizon.

I shakily stand up, my blade of calamity forming in my hand.

" OVER HERE, BITCH!!" I yell. I See Senpai's white bunny ears twitch- and within seconds, she is right in front of me, and what unolded next, was the longest and shortest standoff I will ever be in. 

Her strikes were faster than even I could see, but all I knew was that I could not stop moving.

If I did, a single one of her attacks would demolish me.

All of the attacks that she made were perfectly aimed, and faster that any of mine could keep up with. All I could do was block.

My mind is racing for a solution.

I didn't have the time to perform Neo City Domain…

In that moment, it was clear. I knew her weakness. I went for a stomach slash. This was blocked- obviously…but that moment. That moment when she blocked. Her upper shoulder was exposed. In that moment, her arm is incapable of bending to block an attack there.

As soon as I do this maneuver, I form another sword in my left hand, slashing her shoulder, cutting off her arm, she recoils, and I go in for another strike…to the head.

It lands.

I won.

The fight continued raging on. It had taken mere minutes for the unicorn to figure out how to counter Siken's invisibility illusion- and Siken hadn't figured out how to adapt.

CLANG

Sparks flew from Bendle's blood-blade, as it collided with Oiran's sword that she had stollen from a toddler. Bendle was by no means fast, or particularly strong, but he always seemed to know her next move. 

Oiran was bloodied and bruised, obviously losing. She was considering giving up, until Bendle went in for a jab, and Oiran's face lit up. This was the perfect opportunity. At lightning speeds, Oiran created a ball of socks, dodged out of the way of the jab- and Bendle slashed right into the ball. 

Bendle was sent flying, but managed to stop his acceleration, by digging her sword into the ground. To the left of this fight, the black, two horned unicorn fought the invisible Siken.

Occasionally, Siken would land a slash, but it was few and far between. The unicorn had figured out that Siken only went for it's side- in other words, he was a close-combat fighter. To counter this, the unicorn would summon beams of rainbow energy. It was rare for one of these beams to hit him, seeing as the unicorn couldn't see him- but it kept him at a distance.

Siken charged in again, and was met with another beam. Siken quickly drew his blade, slicing the beam in two, and continuing to advance. Another beam struck from the sky; Siken tried to block this, but he was far too slow, and was knocked back.

Regaining his posture, Siken stood up, wiping the blood from his mouth. On the other side of the Pit, Oiran managed to expand the distance between her and Bendle. Oiran looked over to Siken- or looked to where she thought her would be. " Ya' wanna switch?" 

Siken laughed dryly. "Sure."

Oiran jumped past Siken, and whilst still midair, she created a hovercraft, and accelerated toward the unicorn. Siken ran silently toward Bendle, and swung his sword- just barely being parried by Bendle. 

The fight between the two men quickly devolved into a mad, disordered slashing match. Both of them seemed to be equally matched in close combat- and the same could be said for Oiran and the unicorn. Both of them being long range fighters, they cancelled each other out.

Oiran dropped another series of sock bombs, all of these being demolished by beams of rainbow. The unicorn shot a beam of rainbow, and it was easily dodged by Oiran. All four of them were insanely tired, and equally matched. Siken had taken so much damage, that his invisibility had worn off. Siken could see that all of this was becoming glaringly problematic. He thought on this for a moment, before coming up with an idea.

Thinking quickly, Siken sent an illusion of his idea to Oiran, who stood there for a moment, before shooting him a thumbs up. A toothy grin spread at the crux of his mouth. 

Siken outstretched his hand- and above them...was a nuclear bomb.

The clowns in the crowd screamed, and began to evacuate; and Bendle as well as his unicorn had begun to try to speed up the fight. Siken had focused all of his energy on this illusion, and pressed himself even harder to become invisible once again. Summoning all of his strength on this one action, Siken burst forward as fast as he could go, and sped past Bendle, slashing his legs. 

Siken quickly sped over to the unicorn, and did the same, the unicorn and its owner both falling to their knees...and that's when Siken undid the illusion- revealing the real bomb: an enormous cluster of Oiran's socks,

Oiran clasped her hands together, creating a barrier of jackets around her and Siken, before releasing her hands, " BAKUHATSU!!" and the sound of an explosion like none before could be heard throughout the city.
