— If you see your clothes as part of your body, you can heal them. My power has regeneration, but you can also heal in other ways. That's how I never fight naked.
— That makes sense, big sis!
Wait, that sounds embarassing...
— One more thing, Yuto. If you ever face a stupidly powerful opponent, chances are they have a weakness or drawback in their power. Explore that and you'll always come up on top!
— But you don't have a weakness...
— You're right, I'm invincible. But to every rule there's an exception, right?
In the forest.
— Please, Yu-chan... Unless you want me to fight you in this state, of course... I'll always obey you, my love...
Yuto looked at Slade with disgust. She looked more like a zombie than his friend. The ice arrow aimed towards her side and traveled quickly, but she easily avoided it, almost ignoring it. She looked where it came from with empty eyes and a hunchback, like an undead.
— Who is interrupting our date? This won't go unpunished... It can't be...
The arrow's trajectory curved upwards, until it started returning horizontally. When it was above them, it split into a barrage of ice projectiles. They bombed the forest, freezing everything nearby, including Slade.
Since she was not looking at the arrow, she didn't predict it. But Yuto was careful and protected himself with a barrier, sending the cold wind away.
What the hell are you doing?! Just kill her already, before she stops playing around!
Telepathy? Wait, Unizard?
You're damn right it's me, brat! Stop trying to spare her, she won't come back!
But I'm trying to-
I saw what you did there. You destroyed a whole scenery, yet you managed to minimize the damage where she was. Bravo, hero.
Wait, no, I didn't do that!
Of course you didn't realize it, since it was not intentional. But you need to overcome that fear of hurting her! Otherwise...
Unizard finally appeared among the trees. Purple wizard uniform and hat, as always.
— ... she will just get tired and kill us both.
Yuto smiled at her, realizing he wasn't alone.
— Yuto, I'll tell you something to pump your rage against her. She used Koharu's power to kill Tatsuya.
Yuto widened his eyes in disbelief.
— Yeah, that's right. Her power could see through someone's eyes, so Slade always knew his next move. She probably brainwashed his wife to make her comply.
— So is Tatsuya really dead?
— Yeah... But it's not you fault-
Unizard looked at Yuto's eyes. He didn't looked regretful or sad, he was looking for revenge once again. She smiled and approved his reaction.
— That's what I was talking about, kid!
— Thanks for the info, Unizard. What is your plan?
— My plan? Are you really making me your leader? Alright, let's start like this: find her weakness.
Yuto remembered about his sister's advice. Slade must have a weakness. He suggested:
— Why don't you use your magic to find out?
— It's too damn expensive in mana and magic residue to search valuable information like that. It would give us a major disadvantage in battle. Look at her.
Yuto looked at the frozen body.
— You're thinking like me, right? She was damaged only by her own attack, so she's not immune to her strength. In addition, she froze pretty easily.
— Are you saying we're too weak to damage her and that she's vulnerable to low temperatures?
— Not only low ones...
Unizard raised her hand and smiled.
— Behold, the power of nature.
The ground began to shake and rise.
An earthquake?
— Nah, it's even better than that.
After it became bigger than a mountain, it stopped. A hole started appearing at the center of it, where Slade was. Yuto and Unizard were at the border. The ground below her broke and magma gushed from it. It was a massive volcano.
The lava flew high, until it started raining into the forest. Slade's body started melting and sinking. Yuto, concerned, said:
— This whole place will burn down...
— Oh, so now you're worried? You just destroyed a whole-
Before she could realize it, she was cut in two. Slade was already behind her, as hot as the lava. She had difficulty breathing and her entire body was glowing.
— Don't... interrupt... our date...
— Oh, I'm sorry, hottie!
Unizard's body disappeared in clouds of smoke. The ground below Slade sent her flying diagonally and forward. An enormous and tilted beam of light fell down from the sky and hit her, dragging itself for a huge distance and leaving a trail of charred soil.
After that, a giant cage of yellow lightning bolts started to join together, forming a huge strike in the center. Unizard then summoned an orange cloud. It rained lava once again.
Her main weakness is extreme temperatures. If I keep spamming these spells, it might work-
The red katana pierced through Unizard's stomach.
How?! I'm fucking flying, how can she throw it from so far away? It's okay, I just need to heal myself before it gets worse-
When she was distracted starting to heal herself, a shadow appeared behind her.
What? How did she jump so high in this state?
Unizard couldn't dodge it in time, so she chose to stop the attack with her bare hand. But it was a sharp object. Before her hand was severed she pulled the sword closer and used her elbow to punch Slade backwards, sending her kilometers away.
Unizard flew higher to see the damage she suffered. The katana that pierced her was gone.
Did she really use the same katana twice? No, she had another...
She looked at what was left of her hand. Where it was cut, there was a black liquid quickly spreading across the rest of the hand. She sliced it to avoid being mind controlled or something.
Hey, Yuto! Distract her for a second, I need to-
Slade was already throwing slashes towards her. But there were black ones this time.
Shit, she loves me...
— Alright, let's end this.
Unizard snapped her fingers towards the slashes. They suddenly changed to the opposite direction. Yuto, hearing her request, pushed Slade away, destroying everything in the path. The slashes didn't hit her.
What the hell are you doing?!
Oh, my bad... But you asked for my help!
Tch, whatever, brat. We'll fight with no chat now, alright? Don't be left behind.
Unizard used a barrier to block the slashes. They went through it easily, but she managed to dodge them at the last second. Avoiding the black ones, she tried to catch a red slash. It cut through her hand.
So the red ones don't drip that black liquid...
She made an ice spear and teleported behind Slade. Without wasting a single second, she impaled her body. From where she was hit, she started freezing slowly.
— How does that feel, huh? You love catching everyone from behind.
Unizard finally realized that Slade was still damaged from the extreme temperatures, but healing slowly. She got angry and threw the black katana upwards. With her free hand, she catched the spear and smashed it with brute force.
When she was about to use her red katana, something stopped her arm. She took the black one from the air, but she couldn't do anything. Unizard took the chance and enhanced her punch to a god-like strength. She hit her in the heart.
A linear trail was left behind. She was sent at least three hundred kilometers away. Before she could get up, a meteor shower hit her with supersonic speed. Unizard teleported herself and Yuto nearby. She started to cast a spell:
— The ground shall shamble at the warrior's will.
Her usual magic was really strong, but it cost mana and generate magic residue, which accumulated inside her body. Once it was full, it could negate her own power, damaging her. The spell's purpose was to reduce both of them, while increasing the intensity of the magic.
The ground started trembling, before it rose in a large scale. A pillar the size of a mountain sent Slade to the sky. She quickly cut it with millions of slashes, destroying it. Another huge pillar hit her horizontally, sending her kilometers away.
Unizard was essentially controlling the shape of the forest's ground. Another pillar hit Slade, but from above. She was launched towards the ground with so much force that she pierced it, stopping at a cave. The walls started closing.
Slade didn't have a reason to heal Unizard or let her live. She was about to get serious. How dare someone interrupt her precious date? Unforgivable, unforgivable...
Pissed off, she threw slashes to every direction. Even though they were slim, the whole scenery was half of what it was before. Or even less. Of course, many of them hit Unizard. She jumped so high that she was behind her again.
— How predictable, sweetie.
Unizard had flaming wings on her back. They catched Slade's body and started crushing it. Before she could attack, the wings opened and launched her away with a fire beam. She flew a dozen kilometers.
While she was falling, she threw many other slashes. Since her body was melting and struggling to heal, she was distracted. A supreme gravity hit her, sending her body to the ground with immense strength.
— Kataki, shouldn't we stop this? We're destroying everything.
— Yu-chan... How can you be on her side? This is not fair...
Yuto looked at the top of her head. The wound was already healed. Also, she already had her black katana back.
— Kataki, did your clone kidnap Haji?
— Oh, yes, my darling... The specimen was sucessfully retrieved...
— I see.
With blood in his eyes, Yuto grabbed her neck and flew towards the trees, hitting her head several times. Then, he dragged her on the ground for kilometers, trying to hurt her. He then threw her body into the sky. One kick to the woods. She fell, destroying everything nearby.
He grabbed her arm and kept swinging her to hit the ground. Then, a supreme gravity upwards. He flew towards her again and grabbed her leg. With maximum strength, he threw her body towards a mountain.
The impact was so powerful that the mountain disappeared. A linear trail of nothingness was left again. Unizard punched her head downwards, leaving a huge crater.
— At God's will, a hellish apocalypse shall begin now.
An enormous orange cloud appeared. Huge chunks of lava started raining everywhere. Slade jumped towards Unizard. A rock pillar hit her, sending her body away. Other two crushed her in the air. She threw slashes everywhere, destroying every lava chunk.
The lava started joining together, making a solid rain. There was no way anyone could dodge it, only destroy it. Unizard shot an ice arrow. Knowing that it would split into multiple projectiles, Slade quickly grabbed it. Her hand freezed immediately. She cut her hand off, dropping her red katana.
She increased her healing powers and created a black amalgamation on her hand, catching the sword mid-air. Unizard threw another god-like punch in her head. She also raised her hand, mixing all the lava rain into one huge spike.
When she was about to throw it, Slade started spinning her blades vertically, like a helicopter. Her body was sent towards Unizard. She quickly sliced her body in two. Her body turned into a smoke cloud and dissipated into thin air.
She appeared nearby, thinking that Slade was still flying due to her inertia. But she predicted the wizard's movement and threw a million slashes everywhere, slicing her body again. She waited a few seconds before reappearing, but Slade already knew her tricks.
She swung her katanas vertically with such strength that each slash grew not only larger, but thicker as well. It did that in normal attacks, but now it was increased in a dangerous rate, making the forest an incomplete scenery. Unizard was hit again.
She decided to reappear in the ground that remained, since there were trees to block the view. But there was shadow between them. Slade came from below and sliced her body again. Then again...
— You can't heal infinitely, right, witch?
Unizard was in disadvantage. Her mana could end soon, so she had to use a backup plan. A cold wind started forming everywhere. Slade quickly swung her katanas horizontally, destroying every tree in the way and sending the wind away.
Unizard was hit, but she healed herself instead of reappearing. She pointed her palm towards Slade's heart. Her body was pulled towards it. She began to freeze her body. Slade took her black katana and pierced Unizard's arm vertically. The black liquid spread quickly, so she had to cut her own arm again.
Released, Slade swung her red katana towards Unizard's head. But it was sent downwards with immense force. Another supreme gravity, but aimed only at her weapons. Unizard took the chance and casted an enormous lightning bolt.
Since it was too quick, the cloud was still forming. When it was the size of the sky, it released another lightning, but a thousand times bigger. It was enough to incinerate everything from far away. Before the smoke disappeared, Slade grabbed her sword by the blade and hit Unizard with the cable.
She was sent to the sky. Before Yuto could react, Slade jumped towards Unizard, sending multiple slashes in the way. She snapped her fingers, redirecting the slashes again. They cut through Slade, but she healed herself quickly, grabbing the swords mid-air.
She started spinning vertically. Unizard made an ice shield and collided it with her katanas, sending her away for a few meters. While falling, Slade threw her black katana towards her. Unizard casted a spherical lava shield, but it pierced with no effort and landed on her eye.
Yuto kicked Slade downwards and threw a punch after she fell, but she dodged it. As the black liquid was spreading inside Unizard's head, she grabbed the sword to take it off. But Slade started spinning horizontally, making a small but powerful tornado to redirect her red slashes towards her.
Unizard's body was cut into a million pieces, dropping the sword. She gave up on healing herself, so she just made a new body again. Slade jumped to catch the black katana, but Yuto was quicker. Desperate, she sliced his right arm with her red one and catched it.
— I'm sorry, Yu-chan, I couldn't control myself! I promise I'll heal you-
Unizard touched her stomach, sending her away with an electric bolt. She tried to punch Slade while she was falling, but her arm got sliced away. Her entire body turned into cloud smokes and disappeared.
Slade was hit from behind, sending her flying for a few kilometers. While in the air, Yuto used a supreme gravity to the ground. Then, another upwards. He kept shaking her body up and down to disorient her. Suddenly, she stopped in the air.
Unizard hit her with a kick. Then, another. Slade threw a 360° red slash to hit her, but there were many clones of her. All of them turned into clouds of smoke. Before they disappeared, they returned to their normal form.
They are clones! But this means nothing if I keep destroying everything-
A clone landed a punch on her face. Then another kicked her stomach. She was getting increasingly annoyed by that trick. She threw another omnidirectional red slash, but every clone disappeared this time.
A fire arrow came from behind. It started growing larger rapidly. It incinerated everything within a two-mountain radius. The heat formed a huge cloud that flew to the sky. A huge lightning strike hit Slade directly, making the whole ground shake and leaving a gigantic electric field.
She couldn't move, since that lightning was much more concentrated than the others. The electric current was so strong that every living being that touched it would be stunned for at least a few seconds. Of course, normal beings would die instantly.
Unizard took all the lava rain that fell in the forest and mixed it together to make a huge lava spike again. She hit Slade, piercing her body and sending her to the sky. Then, she turned it into a giant lava hand. It punched Slade away for hundreds of kilometers.
Tired, Unizard lost balance.
— Unizard, are you alright?
— I'm okay, kid. My mana is half full I think. But don't worry, my magic residue will explode everything if we really need it.
— Wait, really? But you will die if it gets released all at once, right?
— Yeah, but who cares? Exwind died this way, so I can be a real hero for once...
— Don't say that! Real heroes live to save more lives, right?
Unizard looked at Yuto, realizing he had forgiven her long time ago. He extended his hand to help her get up. She smiled gently.
— Haha, you're so childish, Yuto.
— Being childish is not a bad thing, you know.
— Yeah, you're right.
She took his hand.
— Let's go, this isn't over yet.
She teleported both of them behind Slade. She was incandescent and panting heavily again. Hunchbacked, she turned her head in a frightening way.
— Yuto, let's end this already. Don't hold back just because she was your girlfriend.
— She was never my girlfriend, but understood.
Slade widened her eyes in disbelief.
— I was never your girlfriend...? You stole him from me... How dare you, how dare you, how dare you...
Slade started walking towards them, but stopped suddenly, coughing black blood. She used her swords to keep standing. She smiled, even though she was in pain.
— I will make you pay, witch.
Someone grabbed them both from behind. With Yuto, it was a gentle touch. But with Unizard, she kept squeezing her arms, almost breaking them. A giant black curtain started appearing in the horizon. They finally realized they were in a big city.
What? I didn't aim here! Did she really came all the way to a city just to put us at disadvantage? More importantly...
Unizard looked behind to see who was holding her arms. It was a clone of Slade, but without the swords.
— Heh, is this all you have? If you can't clone your weapons, they are an easy target!
Unizard jumped back and used her greater mass to smash the clone into the asphalt. Another one jumped at her, aiming for her head. She quickly avoided it, rolling to the side. Another one was about to kick her.
She grabbed its foot and pulled it to rip the leg apart from the body. However, it was tougher than she expected. Her head was kicked, sending her to a nearby building.
Yuto, your card is weakening me, dammit!
Really? So I can't filter my allies...
Let's fight away from each other.
Unizard jumped from the building's wall towards a nearby clone. It started multiplying quickly. She landed on the asphalt and swung her own leg on the ground, sending a flaming wind in every direction. Every clone turned into black liquid and came back again.
— Tch, you're not that special.
Unizard summoned dozens of clones as well. The clone wars began. She jumped and commanded every clone to avoid her attack. She landed a punch on the ground, sending every black liquid clone away. They healed quickly.
Unizard then used her ground-altering magic, raising pillars of asphalt and smashing every clone into liquid again. She then teleported all the liquid she could find in one spot. Then, summoned a portal, just like her brother.
She threw a small black hole that grew slowly with the distance. The object went through the portal and teleported below the liquid, erasing it completely.
Now you can't regenerate anymore.
The black hole went to the sky.
I need to erase it. Otherwise, it can consume the whole planet eventually. Wait, dammit! The clones were just stalling for time!
Unizard noticed the black curtain turning into a dome that covered the whole city.
Yuto used his power to send the clone holding him away. Another appeared from the ground, like it was swimming on the asphalt. It took his leg gently. He smashed everything nearby with a supreme gravity and went straigth to the original.
She somehow sank into the ground. He missed his punch, but destroyed the part of the street. He looked up and noticed the black curtain closing slowly. He also realized that a building was casting a shadow where he was.
So she can move through shadows...
Slade jumped through one of the building's windows and grabbed Yuto's head. She landed a kick on his back while in the air. He was launched away, hitting the black curtain on the other side of the city.
Yuto, we should get out of here now! The curtain may enhance her powers, and she can kill anyone, knowing we will hold back to not kill the civillians!
Do you have a plan? This wall seems sturdy.
We will exploit her weakness once again!
Once the curtain was closed, Unizard summoned an orange cloud above the dome. Lava rain began to fall. She also created energy walls on the sides to store it on top of the dome. Slade felt the temperature of her body increasing.
She knew Unizard was behind that, so she sent a red slash where she was. It sliced every building in the way, but she managed to avoid it by jumping.
There are shadows everywhere. Since she loves attacking from behind, she must be... here!
While in the air, she casted a powerful sunbeam. The beam pierced through the ceiling of the dome easily. Slade was emerging from the shadows, when she was hit by it.
— How does that feel, huh? That's why you can't defeat Hakkiri! The shadow's arch enemy is light!
A red slash sliced Unizard's body once again.
What?! How can she still attack?
The sunbeam stopped falling. The hole made in the ceiling started healing slowly. Slade appeared where the beam was, even more damaged than before. With utter contempt in her eyes, she muttered:
— I'm getting tired of your trickery, witch. I was enjoying the fight, but now you're pissing me off.
— Are you sure? Don't you mean you're annoyed because we're almost winning?
Slade got even angrier. Before Unizard could realize, her heart was pierced by the red katana. She tried catching it to freeze it, but Slade quickly took the blade out and sliced her body in two.
Unizard reappeared behind her, but Slade predicted it and threw a red slash without even turning around. Unizard reappeared again, but now above her, about to shoot an ice arrow. Slade was faster and threw a black slash, destroying the projectile and slicing her body again.
She reappeared in the ground again, a bit tired.
Yuto, just smash the dome already. The lava will help you-
I'm trying! But it seems that it's tougher from the outside!
Slade went so fast for the kill that Unizard couldn't predict it. Sliced again. Then again. Now, beheaded. Heart pierced with black liquid. Then, a kick sent her to the dome's wall. Slade came out of the black wall and grabbed her arms, ripping them off.
She started falling, but Slade came out of the wall again and grabbed her body, both being launched to a building, piercing it and falling into a square. Unizard stopped to heal faster and see where her opponent was. A black slash was thrown, but she jumped it.
It didn't stop and destroyed every building in the way. The black liquid started spreading where it hit. A building was thrown in her direction. She stopped it with a magic shield, but some of the liquid spilled behind her. Slade reappeared there and pierced her heart again.
Angry, she catched the blade of the sword, knowing the black liquid would consume her, and made a pair of ice wings, grabbing Slade's body and pressing it. She started to freeze, but she used her red katana to cut the wings and kicked Unizard's body upwards.
She had to give up on healing that body and made a new one in the ground. But Slade once again sliced her. Then, again. Now, the ground was thrown to the sky. Multiple islands were thrown in her direction. She managed to destroy them with small black holes.
Slade came flying from the domes walls and landed small hits on her body. First, her hand came off. Then, her leg. Now, her arm. All that with the black katana to poison her.
This is bad, really bad... Healing is one of my most expensive spells, and she knows that... I can only heal one more time...
The dome finally broke, releasing the lava. It stunned Slade for a second, since it damaged her body as well. She was still flying due to the momentum. Unizard reappeared behind her and kicked her upwards. Her body pierced the lava.
To avoid destroying even more the city, Unizard made all the lava turn into a giant lava sword. It swung towards Slade and cut her body. She healed quickly and threw slashes everywhere, trying to hit Unizard. But she used portals to reflect the attacks.
She couldn't use portals as often as her brother, since it cost her a lot of mana. But it was a perfect mix of defense and attack. The slashes collided with the ones Slade was still throwing. The lava rain was still falling, so it hit her a few times.
She started spinning her blades vertically to make a strong air current capable of deflecting all the attacks. The lava sword couldn't hit her, so it was time for the final showdown.
Yuto, send her somewhere empty. My mana is almost running out.
What is your plan?
I will use it all at once.
Isn't it too risky?
If I don't, I'll die with no purpose.
Alright, just be careful.
Yuto used his power to launch Slade a few hundred kilometers away once again. Unizard teleported them both. Yuto at the ground, her levitating in the sky. Unizard didn't leave one second for her opponent to react, so she started casting a spell:
— Storms are a punishment for mortals, so let the wasteland take place!
A huge storm covered the whole horizon. Lightnings, acid rain and strong winds started destroying the whole forest. Fire balls, meteors, small black holes and ice spears were falling everywhere. Yuto already knew he shouldn't interfere. At least not when he would not help.
Slade finally got up and saw everything falling apart. She was still damaged, but that view pumped her adrenaline again. She was smiling, even though she was annoyed a few minutes ago. Now, it was her time to end that battle.
She started running among the trees, jumping from every ground that turned into an island. While she avoided the projectiles, she threw millions of red and black slashes towards Unizard. She snapped her fingers and redirected them.
She jumped do dodge them, but also to reach Unizard. Slade's face was slapped with a god-like strength. Her body was launched a few dozen kilometers away, destroying everything in the path.
She quickly got up and dodged a black hole that almost hit her. She took an ice spear and threw it towards Unizard, who destroyed it with a fire shield. She picked the big islands and launched them towards the wizard. She reflected them with huge portals.
Another millions slashes. Since they were too fast, Yuto pushed her from the way. Slade jumped towards her once again while attacking in the way. Unizard teleported behind her. Since Slade had reaction times of miliseconds, Yuto increased the wizard's speed with his power.
She landed a punch that went through her heart. A kick from the side, slicing her body. Slade swung her red katana, which Unizard catched with her bare handed and threw it away, sending her opponent flying. Even though her hand was sliced, she could surprise her.
A clone grabbed the sword in midair and rushed towards the original. Yuto increased the speed of a meteor, which hit Slade's body mid-air. He also mixed the acid rain and launched it towards her. It damaged her body enough that she couldn't destroy the huge rock.
The impact left a gigantic crater in the forest, igniting everything. Slade finally sliced everything around and escaped. A supreme gravity caught her off guard. Then, another upwards. She was in line of fire of Unizard.
She used a solar beam horizontally, disintegrating her body for a second. Then, another sunbeam from above. She couldn't move for a few seconds, so Unizard used her rainbow bow to shoot an ice and a fire arrow simultaneously.
The fire erased everything in the path, except the two katanas, even though they were damaged. The giant cloud made a powerful lightning strike hit her body while it was regenerating, leaving a electric field on the ground.
The ice arrow splitted and bombed everything, freezing the whole forest. Unizard casted a tsunami, in addition to all the acid rain. Slade was hit, but sliced it right away. A volcano appeared below her, spouting lava into the sky.
Finally, giant pillars emerged from the ground, launching Slade away multiple times. Everytime a new pillar touched her, she just sliced everything. They became faster and bigger, almost impossible to dodge or destroy.
She started running in their walls, jumping from one to another. When she was closing the distance between her and Unizard, another hit her. But this time it was so big that it could be mistaken for a small tectonic plate.
Unizard was in the center of it, protected with a shield that nullified her own magic. Slade sliced her way through it, but it kept going in the opposite direction, like a super powerful treadmill. She then cut everything vertically to fall to the ground.
Since the immense pillar was in the way, the acid rain and storm stopped for her. She started throwing tens of millions of black and red slashes all over it to eventually hit her opponent. Unizard destroyed it, knowing it would not help her. Giant boulders began to fall. In addition, she stopped the storm.
Smiling sadistically, Slade finally found the witch. She prepared to use her final attack. Unizard, on the other hand, started bleeding from her nose from exceeding the mana usage. In the few seconds she was distracted, Slade was breathing slowly to concentrate.
She then swung both her katanas with her maximum strength, releasing one slash for each sword in an "X" formation. She did not care about the speed or accuracy. She knew it would hit her opponent. Unizard thought those were the strongest attacks Slade could ever use, so she took the chance to reflect them.
The slashes were slower than usual, but they were accelerating much faster. She snapped her fingers to return them to the attacker. They didn't stop or slow down. Surprised that her special trick didn't work, she casted a giant shield, made of multiple magic circles.
It was enough to stop a nuclear explosion, so Unizard was sure that at least the last circle would hold the slashes. They went through all the circles with ease. She was cut into four. They kept getting faster and bigger, until they left the atmosphere.
Actually, they went way beyond that. After some seconds, they reached the moon, damaging and marking it. The "X" was visible from Earth. Unizard looked up, astonished.
What... the... hell...
Her mana regenerated just enough for one more healing. She got more damaged than healed, but she was still alive. She reappeared far from there, giving up on the fight.
Yuto, my mana is over. It's up to you now.
