>>5361769As you and Nox push against one another, trying to give it your all… you come up with an idea. You smile a bit as you ready for this next move, giving Pantea a quick telepathic explanation of your plan. “…But while this power is my own, this victory won’t be. Instead, it’s something I’ll share with my partner. You’re strong, Nox. You even work well with Ledgic. But together, Pantea and I can overcome even the two of you at your best! But I have to wonder, Nox, is this your best? Come on, show me some of your own skills, not something borrowed!”
“VERY WELL!” he roars, and for a moment his aura sort of… internalizes, almost looking like there are flames seeping out from his armor. That moment is brief, as it then explodes outward, the two of you finishing your clash and pushing one another backward. His explosive aura forms a spherical shape around him that’s… bubbling with power. Thunder echoes through the arena as he starts to launch out homing energy attacks EVERYWHERE. Yet you notice that they don’t actually detonate when they hit something, as you block some with your sword. Instead, they ABSORB power into themselves. You have to weave and dodge around this meteor swarm of Ki blasts, trying to get closer to him again. Almost… almost… THERE!
“...Checkmate, Nox.” You move your mech’s hand forward. “MP BUSTER!” It actually takes a moment to fully work, he has a LOT of energy built up inside him, but it takes effect. His aura flickers out, his power leaving him. He’s shocked, and attempts to get the homing Ki blasts to return to him to salvage his depleted reserves. But it’s too little, too late! “NOW, PANTEA!”
https://youtu.be/EEnDpacSVXMShe’d spent all this time building up speed and power, and with Nox wide open, she launches herself at him! “SHIIIIIIINE… SPAAAAAAAAARK! V-MAAAAAX!” Thunder echoes again, and she tackles him with full force! There’s a very brief moment where Nox almost is able to take the attack… yet that one fades quickly. The last thing you see before he’s knocked away… is a smile on his face.
‘Good… match…’ he tells you telepathically. And then is thrown out of not just the ring, the stadium, but even the boundaries of Mifan itself! He lands in the water a substantial distance away, with enough force that it’s like someone detonated a massive bomb underneath the water. Pantea herself seems a bit dazed from her own attack.
Too dazed to really notice Ledgic still in this and quickly taking the opportunity to grab her with materialized chains, quickly slamming her down. Gah! So close…! But you’re running close on time. What to do…?
>A. Free her first! Then she can take another breather>B. Better safe than sorry, head out, she can handle herself>C. Just try to get her out of combat, Ledgic might try something>D. Something else?
