He scoffs as you, and as his blinks you raise your right hand up to your forehead, ready to Instant Transmission behind him. However, it seems he was ready for it, as the moment you do he pounces. Without a wasted movement, the instant you start trying for your Instant Transmission he's closed the distance, driving his knee into your guts. His strike is so heavy that it knocks the wind out of you, leaving you wheezing as you exhale all the air in your body, along with a bit of blood. “Kuuuuh-?!”
“Did you really think I'd fall for an amateur trick like that?” he asks you, smirking cockily as he gets right in your face, staring right into your eyes uncomfortably close. Knee still pressed into your guts as he crosses his arms, clearly thinking he's got you dead to rights. “Instant Transmission. Really? Against me? And what was the next step in your 'master plan'?”
“This.” you reply with a bit of a wheeze as you get your wind back, swinging both arms up and grabbing your hands, pinning the fusion warrior to your chest. With his arms crossed, he wasn't able to react in time, eyes widening as he realizes how easily the tables have been turned on him. “Die.”
“Oh n-!” he says, but your ki tearing its way out of you from all sides drowns out whatever else he was going to say. Everything turns red as your energy explodes, consuming the warrior pinned to your chest. For several seconds your energy continues to pour forth, eventually your outpouring of energy is stronger than you can even resist yourself, blasting the fused fighter out of your grip. They disappear off somewhere in the red void around you, you ending the attack after another couple seconds.
Sighing out, you feel yourself fall back to the ground, the glow of your explosion fading to reveal the massive crater your own attack had made. The ENTIRE area where your attack started has been leveled all the way to the mountain base, your crater wall ending at the staircase leading up the mountain. Pushing yourself upright you focus your ki sense, finding the fusion warrior is still alive as well, uniform shredded and showing off more of the Apex Primal form's crimson hair as he looks down at you.
“You're too dangerous to play around with. I'm ending this.” he says, golden aura with sparkling stars in it flaring as he stares you down.
