As the steel beams approached Akumu, he quickly manifested his black titan transformation, successfully blocking the incoming attacks. However, the beams were now glued towards him. If he let his transformation up, he would get crushed and die.
As he fell to the ground, he instantly reached out to try and crush her. However, she then points her lightning towards a nearby dump truck causing it, to start flying towards him.
As the truck slammed into him he began to lose his balance and fall to the ground. You have all that destructive power but that just makes you an even bigger target for my technique.
As she said that, a crawler crane and a forklift then flew towards, Akumu weighing him down even more.
Akumu then thought, "How do I get out of this?? Even if I were to shrink my form, the objects would only get closer, and the force would increase too. Just keeping this transformation up is draining my Cursed Energy!"
As he shouts while trying to move towards Xiaoyu, a Cement mixer lands on top of him, putting him down permanently.
Xiaoyu then said, "Now that you're down for the count, I can finally use this for myself."
She then pulled out the metal box containing EDEN while laughing towards the moon. "This is the day that I surpass you, Father!"
As she slowly pulled out the treasure that was hiding within it, a sudden swift force snatched it from her hand far faster than she could react. As she turned to see who had taken EDEN from her, she saw a smartly dressed young gentleman who looked like a butler standing a good distance away from her. He held EDEN in one of his hands that was covered in a pure white glove.
He then said, "So this is EDEN? I can't see why Senjuro would take such an interest in a trinket like this."
Akumu upon hearing Senjuros' name shouted at him, "WHO ARE YOU??"
He then responded, "I am one of the seven stars of the star plasma vessel association, Grant of Pride."
Akumu then recalled that was the same organization that Senjuro had taken over. He then shouted, "Why did you come here for that??"
He responded, "Senjuro asked me to fetch this tin can for him. Although I can't see what's so special about it. I have been watching you guys since, from a long distance ever since you arrived in this city, I just happen to excel at reading lips."
As he continued to ramble, "Xiaoyu threw one of the stray steel beams at him."
As the beam came flying towards him, Grant raised one of his fingers instantly cutting it in half, however, the remnants continued to race towards him. He quickly dodged by stepping on one of them and then accelerated towards Xiaoyu as he deliverd a strong punch to her in the gut, sending her flying into an unfinished tower.
As she hit the thing, Xiaoyu raising both her hands in the air, released a great bolt of purple lightning striking the whole steel tower. As she did she then forced her hands down causing it to collapse.
As the building fell on Grant, he jumped up, while diving through a window. As he did, however, Xiaoyu waited for him so that he could magnetise him with her Cursed Technique. Just before she could make contact with him, however, Grant suddenly speeds up while creating a sonic boom, breaking the whole tower in half.
As he exited through another window on the opposite side, he suddenly stretched out all of his fingers cleaving the building into lots of small pieces, creating a massive dust storm.
He then stood, on what seemed to be an incredibly thin piece of string, that reflected the light of the moon as he looked down upon, the destruction.
As Xiaoyu climbed out of the rubble, her once-clean clothes were partially torn, or completely stained as she held her cut-off right arm in her left hand.
She then shouted, "Goddamit. I knew I should have injected it right away instead of toy with that boy."
As she screamed in anger she released a quick burst of thunder on herself. She then re-attached the dismembered arm back to its rightful place like a jigsaw puzzle. She had magnetised her right arm to attach it to its original position without Reverse Cursed Technique.
Then suddenly the great weight that was stacked on top of Akumu suddenly lifted, allowing him to shrink back and slip out of the pile of metal.
Xiaoyu then said to him, "Let's form a temporary truce. That Senjuro guy offered me a position in his organization once but I refused. I could see right through him and uncovered his twisted nature. If he gets his hands on EDEN there is no telling, what he might do."
AKumu then asked, "Once we beat him, however, it's everyone for themselves okay??"
The butler then flicked his finger, sending what seemed to be an incredibly thin slash towards the two. Akumu easily jumped out of the way but then suddenly he found his head in Grants' grasp. He then slammed his head into the ground while dragging him across the floor at great speeds.
Akumu then shouts, "This guy! He's even faster than Hagone??"
As he continued to drag him, Xiaoyu threw one of the cement mixers at him as well as a couple of steel beams. Grant attempts to dodge only to see a black whip wrap around his arm and grip tightly.
As the cement mixer crushed the two suddenly, two slashes that reflected the moon's light pierced the air as the cement mixer fell apart. Grant then jumped into the air only for Akumus' hand to grab him from behind. As he did he felt a thin object slash it off as blood began to spill everywhere.
Akumu shouting from pain quickly stitched back together using his black whips.
As he ascended into the sky Xiaoyu threw many more steel beams at him, however, he dodged while zig-zagging in the air like a fighter Jet, creating even more sonic booms.
Xiaoyu then shouted, "He can change his direction mid-flight??"
Grant then changed his direction while speeding up even more towards Xiaoyu, delivering a powerful kick that sent her flying back. As he landed, Akumu suddenly sprang from behind him wrapping him in thick black whips. That's when he said to him, "Our powers appear to be quite similar."
Before he could break out of his restraints, Xiaoyu suddenly appeared while shouting,
"Magnetism Technique: Steel Cage."
Suddenly the steel beams that laid on the floor gathered and surrounded the group creating a room which encased the group.
Grant said mockingly, "If you intend to keep me trapped in here with this sad excuse of prison, then you must really take me for a weakling?"
She then laughed while making a look of sheer confidence, "Do you really think I would try something so bland?"
She crossed both of her hands while shouting, "Domain Expansion: Synergetic Palace Of Thunder."
As she said this the space around the group began to warp as it transformed, into a scenery similar to the sky. It was still dark and the ground seemed to be made up of pink thunderclouds, that released harmless purple lightning.
Grant then said in confusion, "An incomplete domain expansion? You used that steel cage as support?? How smart."
"Don't flatter me. Especially when you're about to die.", she said.
Grant then taking an interest asked, "How can you hope to damage me now? Those steel beams that you attacked with earlier can't enter this space, as they are objects."
As he said that he began to bleed suddenly from both his eyes and mouth. It wasn't only that but random parts of his skin began to burst as they poured out rivers of blood.
He then thought, "She magnatised my blood? But since when???"
That's when he realised, the purple lightning that he thought was harmless, was actually her form of attack. Just being grazed by them would cause the entire body to turn magnetic. As he sliced apart Akumus's whips with his string he hurriedly flew upwards to try to reach the outside.
Just as before he did, a strong force pulled him back towards the ground, crushing him.
Xiaoyu then said, "If the pressure doesn't kill you, then the lack of blood to the brain will! Hurry up and die so that I can use EDEN already!"
