Nico and The Leader stood in the illusion, watching eachothers backs. Suddenly out of the smoke a man walked out, the ring on his finger glowing orange as he hid his true appearance through illusions.
Nico dropped his sword as the man rushed to him, the two body checking into eachother, the floor cracking as they kept their stance.
Nico delivered a punch to the gut as the man was senr back a few steps, allowing Nico to charge up his prosthetics.
"I have a new toy for you."
He extended his fingers before firing high caliber bullets out of his palm at rapid speeds, the man disappearing into his illusions as Nico aimed his fire to where he assumed the man was moving.
The man reappeared to the side of Nico, throwing a kick before being punched back by The Leader. The Leader got into a martial artist's stance, Nico staying back as the man began running back.
The Leader threw the first punch, the man wuickly ducking under it, countering with a powerful uppercut to the gut.
The Leader avoided with a backflip, landing on a handstand, before boosting in the air, removing a few kunais as he threw them at the man.
The man took out a combat knife and blocked each kunai, The Leader falling onto his shoulders, carrying a fourth kunai to slash him in the eyes.
The kunai bounced off the man's head with a metal clanging sound, countering with a slash of his own knife as The Leader boostes off his shoulders, flipping out of the way.
"There!"
Nico used the man's current momentum of the blade swing to dash at him, punching him in the gut as he was launched back, the illusions disappearing.
The scenery was returned to normal, as the man's disguise was removed, though before anyone could get a glimpse he threw a flashbang, blinding everyone before disappearing.
Nico helped Mari and Lite back up, then leaning down to flick Royce awake, The Leader running off to chase the man.
"You guys okay?"
Nico asked them, his arm steaming as the wmpty cartridges fell out of the crevices. The workers came out of hiding, including Rowlocus who ran towards them.
"What just happened!!! There was a big monster, and everything was blowing up..! And.. and…"
Nico stopped her from continuing, shushing her with the other hand. She pouted from this as Mari was back up, shouting out for The Leader, before looking to Nico.
"That idiot ran off, what if he gets hurt!?"
Lite got up as well, rubbing her head before taking out her rifle. She took out multiple gun parts, reconstructing her rifle into a large sniper.
Entirely showing ofd, she loaded a tracking device into the sniper, pointing it out with one hand as, with a smug expression, she fired the shot.
"That'll never hit, dumbass."
Nico said, Lite continuing to stare smugly as she crossed her arms, signalling at Mari. Mari took out her tablet and located the tracker, as it seemed to have connected to a moving target, Lite had hit her shot perfectly.
"You were saying???"
Lite snickered, Mari already running off as Lite began following. Nico sighed before following as well, the three travelling to the tracker.
"Damn it.. You two hurry the hellnn no up!"
Mari unsheathed her sword, a rocket activating on it as she thrusted forth, launching herself through the streets, Nico and Lite lookinf eachother in surprise.
Nico held his handback, emitting a constant explosion that launched him around, quickly catching up with Mari. Lite got into a runner's position, her legs gaining an elecrical charge as she began running at super speeds, all 3 making their way to The Leader's position.
They stood in a stadium, both The Leader and the man standing in the center fighting it out. It was an odd fight in their vision, The Leader avoiding seemingly air, though in truth he was dodging illusions.
"We'll settle this now."
The Leader's ring glowed yellow, his body vibration as he began flickering, randomly appearing in different locations as the man looked around, awaiting an attack.
The ground suddenly cracked open as yellow energy was unleashed, the man knocked off balance from the ground shaking, The Leader landed down as a vibrating hum was heard at loud frequencies.
Nico was about to go down, but Mari placed her hand in his way, shaking her head as she took a few steps back, as did Lite.
"Million Tremors"
The Leader's body vibrated to the point that he looked like a blur of black, yellow energy leaking from his eyes as his ring's glow increased.
The man shook his head, chuckling as he dropped his knife, cracking his fingers. Flames began forming out his eyes and mouth, his muscles flexing as his hair lit into flames next.
"Remember this name. I am the Demon, his heart and brain, I am the Demon's emotions."
He got into a stance, his flames increasing as he truly resembled that of the Devil, both the man's and The Leader's energy firing out in a giant aura of red and yellow, wind blowing around the area as Nico, Mari and Lite had difficulty keeping their stance.
"This is the battle of two ring users.."
Mari adjusted her glasses, in shock as her body trembled, unable to conceptualize the power the two are letting off.
"Demon's Rage."
The two collided punches, a giant crack forming in the air between them as they were shattering dpace as well, energy firing out in both directions, one of The Leader's yellow vibrations, and the other of the Devil's flames.
A fight would begin beyond the capabilities Nico thought could exist, Mari shaking her head as she crossed her arms, the wind blowing through her hair.
She slowly raised her hand, pointing towards the arena as the two readied to fight, the two sides of the arena painted in the energy of yellow and orange.
"Right there, Ryoto, is two Gods standing."
