Just as he was about to snap Subaru's neck, he dodged. Mochi, shocked, was about to commend Subaru on his impressive skills, but was punched by his left fist at an unbelievable angle. That's when he realized that it was the armor attacking him.
Fascinating...so fascinating!
Laughing manically, it made him desire the armour more. With this, I shall no longer fear that old fools. The world shall be my oyster. All hail the age of Mochi! Ahahahaha!
Fantasising, he still managed to dodge the armour's attacks as it started pummelling him from various angles.
But this stage would not last long.
Tch!
Clicking his tongue, he wiped of the slight blood that was dripping down his cheeks. Licking it, he slowly frowned. Gone was his carefree nature, now all that remained was sheer focus. "Congrats you little brat. This is the first time that someone has managed to make me bleed, in all fifty years of my time practicing martial arts. Now you shall die!"
Snapping out of his stupor, Subaru felt the armour rescinding it's help, realising it's owner had returned. Oh shit! Couldn't you have stayed for a little longer! I can't fight for shit, and you know it!
Gone was the skilled and methodical execution. From precise punches, to bumbling slaps, Mochi grew bored, realising that his foe had returned to his 'boring' self.
Getting his fill, albeit little, he leaped back. Under the astonished gaze of Subaru, Mochi cupped his fists, before opening them like a lotus. "Here is my final technique: Burning Gaze of the Sun!"
Energy gathered in the opening, collecting, until it was released. In desperation, Subaru held his hands out, averting his gaze, praying. Oh mighty, awesomest awesome armour of all: Please, please, please...do something!
As the burning beam edged closer to him, nothing still came out. Just when Subaru had given up hope, his hands clasped each other. In Subaru's shocked eyes, they merged, creating a mini pulse cannon.
Wh-!
Before he could say anything, a green beam emitted from the cannon, clashing with the Burning Gaze of the Sun. Initially shell shocked, Mochi's gaze, once bored, reignited it slef, flames blazing in his pupils.
"Ahahaha! So you did have something up your sleeve! Great, let's end this with a fucking bang!" With his mad grin, Mochi forced more energy onto the beam, excited of finally getting his fated foe.
The beams, now crashing, pushed against each other, neither letting the other gain sovereignty over one another. Though the stand-off seemed shirt, it was draining for both opponent. Just as Mochi seemed to have the final edge, the core on Subaru's chest glowed.
Reaching brighter and brighter, the energy output reached maximum capacity, leading to Subaru's green pulse overpowering Mochi's. Under his shocked eyes, he could only see his doom coming to him, unable to do anything.
Ah, so it seems I'll meet my end here. What a wonderful way to go...

Outside was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, birds were singing, caterpillars were munching...
Then came the sudden explosion, along with a very distinct mushroom cloud.
