I think this one is a toss up.” you reply, the two fighters staring each other down while the crowd roars and the announcers hype up the action so far. “I've seen several dangerous Hit out there, it may come down to what abilities this Hit has unlocked. Especially after what happened to him here at the last tournament, after that five on one. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.”
“Nah, Chaya's got this.” Maza replies, still smugly confident. “She's not even going full power yet.”
“What? You don't mean-?” Ace asks, only for the fighters to explode into action once more.
“HAAAAA!!” Chaya roars, her aura blazing before dashing directly at Hit. However, as she closes in, once more she stops right outside his range. But instead of teleporting away, instead of leaving an Afterimage behind she suddenly <span class="mu-i">splits</span>! Using her Multiform to split her body into two, both Blue Chayas launching themselves directly at Hit. Who, ever the calm and collected fighter doesn't panic. Instead he uses his Time Skip to lunge forward, striking the left Chaya in the throat with his Phoenix Eye punch and stopping her in her tracks. But in the same moment the right Chaya attacks, firing a side kick with her left into Hit's exposed side. “HYAAAAA!!”
“Guuuh-!?” he wheezes as her blow sends him flying, while his shot sends the other Chaya back as well. Yet the one Chaya still standing doesn't immediately chase him down, instead flying back, landing atop herself and merging both bodies back into one as Hit regains his balance, returning to his fighting stance at the edge of the stage, lava to his back. The two reset to their stances, Blue Chaya now appearing far more smug than before.
“Clever. But that won't stop Hit.” you say, realizing the flaw in this plan almost immediately. “She's going to take far too much damage if she keeps attacking like this.”
“It was good for a surprise attack, but now he knows what's coming.” Ace replies. “I wonder what she's going to do next?”
But you don't have to wait long, as once more Blue Chaya's aura blazes. However, instead of charging in, she channels her energy into her fists, firing a barrage of fist-sized blasts. Hit starts dodging and weaving through them with his Time Skip, Chaya quickly charging more energy into her hands, swapping from single shots to firing Scattershots. The barrage of energy causes Hit to once more retreat into his pocket dimension, the only visible sign his eyes glowing red, energy blasts then passing through his image.
